which ho was justly promoted, the same ability
and zeal that originally gained him fame and
promotion. Lieutenant-Colonel EDwARDES is an i
unimpeachable witness. He possesses an accurate i
knowledge of the native character, and fully under-
stands what may be accomplished by indefatigable
energy and unflinching determination under the
most apparently adverse circumstances. Pesha-
wur, where he is stationed, and where his in•.
valuable services have been chiefly rendered, was,
" during peace, an incessant anxiety ; now, it is
the strongest point in India." He says—" We
have struck two great blows—we have disarmed
our own troops, and raised levies of all the people
of the country. The troops are confounded ; they
calculated on being backed by the people. The
people are delighted, and a better feeling has
sprung up between them and us in this enlist-
ment than has ever been obtained before. I have
also called on my old country, the Deragat, and
it is quite delightful to see how the call is an-

it practically amounts, is a heavy blow and great
discouragement to English influence in the Otto-
man Empire. He was peculiarly the friend of
England, the advocate of every sound and whole-
some reform, and the supporter of the Christian
subjects of the Sultan. Ile was in his position at
the head of the Turkish Cabinet at the time of
the protest of the four Ambassadors against the
Moldavian Elections. He was at that time " the
right man in the right place." But, unfortu-
nately, the active and persevering exertions of his
opponents prevailed, and ho was compelled to re-
sign his chief place in the Turkish Government
to other hands. His fall was, however, broken.
He was nominated the President of the Tanzimat
Council,. just as an English Premier might be made
President of the Privy Council here—a dignified
although not very important position. This,
moreover, has been also taken away, and it has
even been rumoured, although, we trust, without
adequate foundation, that his son DJEMIL BEY,
the Ottoman Ambassador at Paris, would parti-
cipate in his downfall. We cannot place much
confidence in the new President, FUAD PASHA,
more especially when his appointment is regarded,
as it must be, as a complete victory over English
influence. This is a portion of what
Lord STRA.TFORD DE REDCLIFFE has brought
upon us by his peremptory and unyielding
disposition : wo fear that, so long as he remains
at Constantinople, we shall not regain our quon-
dam position, nor exercise the power to which we
are justly entitled. A " refractory ambassador"
is objectionable on many grounds, and it is high
time that he were permitted to enjoy the ease to
which he is entitled after 50 years of diplomatic
service. Never was there a time when it was
more essential that we should be , adequately re-
prssented at the Turkish capital.

swered. 2,000 horsemen, formerly in my army
at Mooltan, are now moving on different points,
according to order, to help us in this difficulty,
and every post brings me remonstrances from
Chiefs as to why they have been forgotten What
fault have they committed that they are not sent
for ? This is really gratifying. It is the heart of
a people. It does one good all through."
But how has this kindly feeling been excited 4?
What charm has converted those who were im-
placable foes, or at best discontented allies, into
faithful and devoted friends, on whom implicit
reliance can be placed in th e hour of trial ? It
was the magical effect of justice and libera-
lity. They had witnessed the manner in which
he (Lieutenant-Colonel EDWARDES) had acted

towards his followers on the previous occasion

The Anglo-Indian Government had responded

fairly to his demands, and they are now
eaping the reward. We shall, however,
let him speak for himself. He says :
" The Peshawurees had often heard that I had
been grateful in getting rewards for my followers
after the Mooltan war ; but they were not prepared
to see such a demonstration from the other end
of the Soolimanee Mountains. It excites their
better feelings, and will do them good too. Al
yesterday I was busy fitting out 700 horse and
foot levies (Mooltanee) to reinforce NICHOLSON at
Jullundhur. How all the liberality shown to
these Mooltanees after the war of 1848-49 is now
repaid, in the alacrity with which they rush to
our side again to help us ! They are now invalu-
able, and so glad to see me again ; it is quite a
pleasure in the midst of this howling wilderness."
" Events have indeed taken a wonderful turn." It
was mainly against these very inen that the Bengal
Army was organised, and such vast stores of am-
munition and all the materiel of war collected
together at Delhi ! Now they are rendering the
most valuable services against the wretches who
proved " unfathful to their salt," and are in com-
pany with English troops assailing the stronghold,
garrisoned for the purpose of keeping them in
subjection. We live, indeed, in strange eventful
times, when the parts of the actors in the Indian
drama can be so completely re-cast; and the secu-
rity of the British supremacy is guaranteed by
the efficient efforts of our quondam opponents on
the western and north-western frontiers.
Lieut.-Colonel EDWARDES speaks impressiVely
of the prejudicial consequences that may arise
from the protracted resistance of Delhi. He says,
"The delay damages our reputation, and encou-
rages the belief, artfully disseminated by the
Brahmins and Moollahs, that all prophecies agree
that the English rule is now to end. So the
deluded people rise here and there, and add to
the anarchy and confusion. We trust that 20,000
soldiers are now embarking from England, but
they cannot reach till September, and you may
judge what has to be endured, and done, during
the intervening months." This is the most power-
ful commentary on the vital importance of prompti-
tude and energy in such a crisis. Under existing
circumstances, it was not practicable to hazard a
general assault on Delhi. The beleaguering force had
to wait for reinforcements, just as General WHIR'
had at Moolt m. All that could be done was to
take up a position before the City, and to main-
tain it against all the odds of men and " artillery
(taken out of our own magazines)" that could be
brought against us ! How different would it have
been, if either of the rival telegraphs had been
constructed, either by the Red Sea or the Eu-
phrates ! Then the painful tidings would 'nave
been anticipated by a full month, and Parliament
still assembled, would have insisted on the most
rapid and effectual means being adopted. Every
soldier that could be spared from the Cape or from
the different stations in the Mediterranean would
have been hurried on without a moment's delay,
and the Overland route, and our own screw men-of-
war would have been, made available to the utmost
extent, despite of all the resistance of Sir CHARLES
WOOD and the red-tapists. Hundreds of artillery-
men might be sent as ordinary second-class pas-
sengers by every steamer, and uo objection would
or could be made on the part of either SULTAN or
Pacha, of the Ottoman or the Egyptian Govern-
ment.

to Admiral Hawtayne. The gallant admiral wns
wall-
ing on the south pier at Lowestoft with a little girl and
a lady, her mother, and, the evening bang very dark,
he, fell over the side of the pier. The water was very
shallow, but the admiral sustained a concussion of the
brain, and died in about half an hour. The accident was
first discovered by the screams of the little girl, who
also fell off the pier with the admiral, and whose cries
attracted her mother to the spot. The child was happily
rescued.

THE FAILURE OF Masons. BRUFJRD, DYER, AND
CO. —T'fie Bristol Ga,:ette says deed of a signment
required at the meeting of creditors of this firm has been
es o ited. It is expected that the private property of
Mr. Beeston, one of the par there, wilt realise (30,0001.,
and that a first dividend of from 51. to 6E. 81. in the
pound well be paid within three mouths. The account
ants to the estate are sanguine that the ultimate loss to
the creditors will not exceed 64. 81. in the pounl.
A curious circumstance cocurred a 'few days ago ,t
Hay, e : a boa constrictor, received fierier Braz 1, laid an
egg, and almost immediately a serpent about l feet
one issued from it. No preparations having been
made to receive the young boa, it died soon after of

It is not yet too late to do so. We should not
lose a moment in the vain expectation that the
outlay may not be required. The safety, honour,
and welfare of Great Britain hang in the balance.
As we have already st tted, every pound promptly
and judiciously expended, would have saved four
times, aye, probably ten times the amount at a future
day, and prevented some at least of the fearful
and heartrending sufferings, that must be com-
pletely avenged. We may now expect new
accounts almost every hour. We fear, however,
that they will not he such as to authorise any
relaxation of our exertions, but rather what will
induce us to strain every nerve to the uttermost,
to sustain the gallant soldiers now at the scone of
action, and to ♦indicate the prestige of the British
name, and bring well-merited retribution on the
sanguinary miscreants who have committed atro-
cities scarcely paralleled in any time or country.

Advices from Constantinople of the sth inst.
announce two facts—first, " that the Persians
have evacuated Herat ; and, secondly, that FUAD
PASHA had been appointed President of the,Tan-
zimat Council, in the place of REDSCIIID PASHA."
The first is a very satisfactory piece of intelli-
gence. Serious apprehensions had fvr some time
been entertained that tho'SyArr was not disposed
to carry out faithfully tho obligations which ho
had contracted, and which led to the conclusion
of the Persian war. This was the natural result
of the tardiness displayed in the evacuation of
Herat. He might easily have considere I
that England's difficulty was Persia's oppor-
tunity, or he might have been stimulated
1-)Y secret foes to a violation of his engage-
ments.
It was obvious that, while any
doubt remained, we
should maintain a sufficient
force, ready to act,

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The ilioniteur has some nomisations and pro-
motions in the Legion of Honour, and in the army,
navy, and public professorships.
Various rumours continue to fly about concern-
ing the meetings of crowned heads that are to take
place Mote the end of the month. Most of them
are hardly worth repeating, and probably are mere
inventions or conjclctures. The one that seems to
obtain most credit it that the Emperor of the
French and the King of Prussia will meet at
Darmstadt, after the meeting of the former Sove-
reign with the Emperor Alexander at Stuttgard.

The Debats says :
"The Unifiers to-day prophesies, with texts of Scrip-
ture, the fal. of England, and declares her summoned
to the judgment of God. 'They lashed Catholic
truth,' says the Univers, with the prosperity of Eng-
land. See (they said) is not Protestant England the
freest, the richest, the a'r mgest nation in the world ?
They can no longer use this argument, since England
is condemned to perish.' 'Yet a little,' says the
Univers, and we shall less often hear it asked
what England would have gained by remaining Ca-
tholic ? She would have gained this—she would have
made herself in India a solid empire, and she would not
havo been overthrown at a blow, shamefully hustled
(bousealee)' One can hardly discuss such arguments,
attired in such language. Let us, however, point out to
the Univers that.its prophetic ardour makes it lose sight
of the past, and of the lessons of history. Certainly it is
grievous to be threatened with the loss of an immense
colony, even when one possesses many others that are
tranquil and prosperous, but it is yet more grievous to,
have lost all one's colonies or to have none to Lise, and
that is the condition of the most Catholic nations in the

world—Spain and Portugal. The preJent difficulties of
England are the attributes and the natural and legiti-
mate compensations of power and prosperity. Before
rloicing at them, and proudly congratulating
onself on being exempt front them, it would
be well to reflect that it is already something to
have so much to lose, and that it enables the loser
boldly to support the comparison with those who have
nothing. It is not then yet time to point opt the effects
of Divine vengeance in the situation of Eng'atid, and to
declare that heresy has been fatal to her power, but it
is always time for the Unifiers bo promulgate and inter-
pret the decisions of Heaven, at the risk of finding itself
at variance with those of common sense."
The Prefect of Police addres-ies a circular to
the commissaries of police iu Paris, directing them
to visit all the shops of dealers in meat, fruiterer:4,
grocers, salted meats, and smoked hams and
sausages. They are to do this simultaneously, and
all food unfit for consumption is to be seize 1
and, at the expense of the parties, conveyed to
certain persons (horse slaughterers) therein named.
Fats intended for manufacturing purposes are
excepted, but they must Le mixed with turpentine
to prevent their use in food. A veterinary
surgeon, a chemist, or a physician is to bpi
called in in case of dispute as to the fitness of
articles of food for consumption. In all instances
the offence is to be returned to the prefecture with
the name of the offender in a proces 'verbal, to be
presented under the law of the 27th March; 1855.
All vessels of copper and lead used by the pre-
