LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 12, 1857

A generation is ordinarily calculated at about
thirty-five years—and Lord BROUGHAM has just
reminded us that precisely thirty-five years have
elapsed since Mechanics' Institutes were first esta-
blished. It is interesting therefore to reflect, in
that one particular, how much has really been ac-
complished during this last generation. Here,
almost exclusively in the annals of these Mechanics'
InAitutes, may be epitomised the progress made
in the tedious but unceasing struggle of the Eng- '
lish People, towards the alluring but illusive day-
dream of National Education. A day-dream which
is mill nothing better than a day-dream—save in
Da- far as relates to the history of these very in-
stitutions we aro speaking of—but a golden vision
which, please GOD, may yet be realised. Our
hopes in this direction have not in any way died
out ; notwithstanding the deadening influence of
so many and such bitter disappointments ! Not-
withstanding the fribbling shifts and piecemeal
evasions by which the multitude have been so re-
pe'.ttedly and provokingly baulked in their ex-
pectations ! In spite of all this, we still hope,
sooner or later, to witness the attainment of the
advantages' we have been striving for so long, and
so pertinaciously. We have not lost faith in the
cause—though we have lost faith in the men who
advocated it. A few of its champions, it is true,
yet t) this day preserve—because they yet to this
etay deserve —the popular confidence. But, alas !
they are, indeed, " few " enough. There is Sir
Tuomas WYSE, for example, who began the good-
tiv'et in earnest more than a quarter of a century
14..ie, and who has only desisted from it; continuance
tli testly because of his intense and incessant
vehr
)ccuPat'iou durine, the last sixteen years as.
a diplorol,tis,• His Excellency may be taken as
aVe favourable type
of the former advocates of
N4ton al Education--in fact he must, as we have
4p,,d, be regarded in justice-as its originator, as the
originator of the whole project which has ever
since proved, unhappily, little better than alter-
nat., ly the mirage, and the will-&-the-wisp, of our
ph::an tb-ropies• _ _

Po'..tunately a new race of champions in the
e',o' 0 of National Education give promise no,,,a_
of reviving under happier auspices the move-
nwl_t which began so propitiously-. Conspicuous
among these later educationists are, beyond all
man-aer of doubt, the Noble Lard the member for
tvgifi Lynn, and t'ie Right Hon. Baronet the
.11.3eutber for Droitwicb. The former, especially,
the people of England are beginning to look to
•Cth somethi,dg like the sanguine reliance placed
of 'II in lord JOHN RUSSELL-but with far less
probability of having that thickly-blossoming re-
liancP, fructifying at last, only in the most mise-
raFie, acrid, and withered disappointments. The
Multitude are looking thus hopefully to Lord
STANLEY, because they already recognize in the
aspirations of that young and sagacious Reformer

THE MUTINIES IN INDIA.

THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.

The Calcutta and China Mails have arrived ; but
the intelligence supplied from the seat of insurrec-

commercially important, the Government having

question :—" Six steamers and 11 ships were to leave

bulk of these and the other troops on their way are
landed in India by the Ist of November,
.it will be all
that we can expect. A: few regiments may come in the

may come overland. A small part of the Chinese force

I entirely routed on the 12th aunsulwar, detachment ofAugust about
4,000, with six field guns, who had entrenched them-
selves at Beorahjecka Chowkee, in advance of Basseerat
Gunge, with a loss on, their wo part of 300 killed and
muchu terrornded, my own was 35. This action has inspired
amongst the enemy, and prevented any
opposition to my re-crossing,
PROM GENERAL NEILL.

Cawnpore, August 18.
On the 15th defeated the enemy near the on ground,
and returned in the night to my position, six miles off.
On the 6th I sent a steamer with a small detachment to
look up Bithoor, where the enemy were assembled, with
good effect.
On the 16th General Havelock moved out in one
column to Bithoor, and carried the enemy's position,
capturing two guns ; the men being much exhausted
coull not follow them up. Native accounts from Luc-
know represent them holding out well, and the enemy
making no impression.

DELHI.

Damn, August 14.
The English were never in a better position than now
in camp. The mutineers are quite dispirited by the
utter failure of their attacks on the let and 2d—their
loss estimated by themselves at 3,000. The dispersion
of the rebels may now be really looked for. Nine hun.
dred of the Neemuch force alone never returned to the
city after the attack of the Ist. The loss of the British
was under 30. Brigadier Chamberlane's and Colonel
Seaton's wounds are progressing favourably.

COMMERCIAL.
CALCUTA AUG. 22.
Since our last issue, under date of Bth
inst., we have
been in receipt of home advices to the 10th ult., by the
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Bengal,
which arrived here on the 13th inst. Although the
Money Market in England had improved, the state of
the markets for Indian staple articles is not such as to
impart animation to our export trade, in which, we
regret to say, operations have been conducted during
the fortnight under review on a very moderate scale.
We are sorry we cannot report any improvement in
our produce market, which eontinues in the same de-
pressed state as reported in our mail circular. The un-
settled state of the country, and consequent stoppage
of business in the upper provinces, together with the
very small supplies and high prices of goods, have pre.
vented anything like a good business doing.
In the face of .the disturbed state of the North-Wtst
Provinces, and the total cessation of trade with that
quarter, any marked improvement in our import market
cannot reasonably be looked for; but during the last
few days, we are happy to state, our advices from the
up-country have been of a more cheering nature, giving
hopes of the fall of Delhi, and the suppression of the
revolt at no distant period, though the complete resto-
ration of order and tranquillity must be the work -of
time. :Coder the influence of such advices, our market
has assumed a more buoyant appearance, and in some
instances we have had a better inquiry for British cot
ton piece goods though on the whole operations have
continued on a limited scale. Mule twist has, however,
improved both in demand and value, and a fair business
has been done during the past fortnight. In metals we
have scarcely any change to notice, the market con-
tinuing vi ry quiet, without the least speculative demand.
MONEY MARKET.
We have had no change in the bank of Bengal rates,
the last increase of 2 per cent. noticed in our preceding
number, having continued untouched, although the
amount of cash has decreased from Company's Rs.
1.14 34,313-15-4 on the 4th instant to Company's Rs.
92,44,44,477-13-7 on the 19th instant, as appears from
the weekly statement of the bank's assets and liablities.
Evidently there are symptoms of the market getting
gradually tighter, and we may probably have occasion to
report more unfavourably ere long.

bank, under the shelter of some brick kilns and other
sort of cover.

Our line was'then about 300 yards in length, and the
enemy came pouring down on us in large numbers. At
this time we were in imminent danger, 'when Major
Eyre ordered us to charge the enemy. This movement
was perfectly successful, and our line advancing at the
charge, the mutineers fled from the woods, from whence
emerging, Major Eyre opened on them with grape, and
the enemy cleared off in all directions.,
One officer and eight men wounded during the opera-
tions of the day, which commenced at about six a.m.
and lasted until three p.m.

I beg to bring to your especial notice the gallant
conduct of Captain Scott, Ensigns Lewis and Mason,
will prevented the enemy from turning our right, and
maintained their position under a tremendous fire. My
thanks also to Dr. Thornton, who, though suffering
frran indisposition, has been unremitting in hiq attention
towards our sick and wounded. Ensign Oldfield, who
was wounj.ed in the face by a rifle ball, was nevertheless
roost efficient at his post, 'namely, with the two guns
on the left. Lieutenant Wylde (of the late 40th Bengal
Regiment), our intepreter, rendered us great assistance ;
skirnaishinz with our men when they were thus em-
ployed, charging with 'our lint and performing all his
other duties with Exl.reine intelligence.
I flatter myself that with respect to the conduct of
the non•commissioned officers and privates of the sth
Fusiliers, no comments or recommendations to praise
can be required at my hands.
I wish to avail myself of this opportunity of acknow-
ledging the many services which the Gentlemen Volun-
teers of cur force have rendered to the men of the sth
Fusiliers.

THE MAHOMEDANS AT SINGAPORE.
SINGAPORE, AUG. 20.

After the departure of the last mail steamer to
Europe our settlement was thrown into great
alarm in consequence of the discovery that Ichur-
rack Singh, a Sikh political prisoner (then on pa-
role), was engaged in treasonable correspondence
with the convicts. These latter number nearly
three thousand of the most desperate characters
from British India, mostly transported for life, and
for murder and gang robbery. The Sikh chief-
tain was seized, and at once placed on board
her Majesty's ship Racehorse, where he re-
mained for a few days, and was then sent up
to Penang in the steamer Hooghly, to be confined
in the fort at that station. The state and condi-
tion of the convicts is a just ground of apprehension.
They are mostly natives of Bengal, akin to the
wretches belonging to the Sepoy regiments, whose
barbarities have shocked the whole civilised world.
In two days the Mohurrum or Mahommedan new
year will commence when the followers of the pro-
phet become maddened by excitement and intoxi-
cation. Heaven knows whether this festivity will
pass over quietly. What means are available have
been resorted to and we hope to pass the next ten
days, and nights in peace. At present the Madras
troops stationed here are staunch, but if their bre-
thren at Madras mutinied, the example would in all
probability be followed. We have just now a few
acceptable guests in five officers and 101 men of the
Roy-al Engineers, who will remain here until Lord
Elgin's return from Calcutta. The European resi-
dents are on the alert, and to-day a protest will be
sent to the Governor in consequence of that func-
tionary having granted permission to the convicts
to go outside their lines during the Mohurrum.
Once out, it may not be easy to get them in again.
Her Majesty's steamer Encounter sailed hence on
the 9th for Snez, having ou board the Siamese em-
bassy.

The wreck of her Majesty's steam transport Tran-
sit is to be sold next month. The crew have pro-
ceeded to Hong Kong in the Inflexible.
Ilex Majesty's steamer Fury left this on the 11th
inst. for Trincomalee, having been ordered there by
Adniiral Seymour, on the requisition of the Go-
vernor of Ceylon.
'-der Majesty's steamer Shannon is daily expected
from Calcutta, with Loi d Elgin on board.

THE FORTHCOMING PAYMENT OF ANOTHER

DIVIDEND.

It will be recollected that on the former occasion when
a dividend was declared and paid at the South Sea
House, a complaint was made that the arrangements
were inadequate—that creditors were only admitted a
few at a time, and hundreds were exposed for several,
hours to the inclemency of the weather. These precau-
tions were taken by Mr. James Johnstone, jun., the
messenger, who was afraid that improper characters
might be admitted it the thousands of depositors were
f
allowed to make a " rug' ," particularly as it was gene.

well as those attached to the various departments in
bankruptcy on the efficient manner in which he per.
formed his duties.

AN ASSESSOR OMITTING TO TAX HIMSELF.—Mr.
Thomas Hopkins, farmer, of Hawbridge, was summoned
before the Venerable Archdeacon Timbrill and other
county magistrates, at Tewkesbury, on the 15th inst.,
charged, on the information of Mr. Sells, surveyor of
taxes for this district, with making a false return of
articles kept by him chargeable with assessed taxes.
Mr. Sells said Mr. Hopkins had neglected to assess him-
self for two horses and a spring cart. Mr. Hopkins,
who is the assessor of taxes for the parish of Tirley, had
made a return of one horse and one dog, but he found
he had two horses and a spring cart, of which he, had
made no return. Mr. Sells remarked that it was a very
serious offence, 'for on, Mr. Hopkins commencing his
duties as an assessor, be had taken an oath that he had
duly assessed all parties liable, and, after making the
assessment, had sworn to having made a true return ;
but Government only prosecuted for the penalty to
which he was liable—namely, 201. Mr. Sells then called
Metiers. Richard Ruck and Benjamin Ball, who clearly
proved the case against the defendant. Mr. Hopkins
pleaded that if he had rendered himself liable to the
penalty it was not intentional on his part, but through
inadvertence. The chairman said the magistramagistratesfelt
that they should not be doing their duty if they mitigated
the penalty to less 101., and 21. is. 6d. costs,Cheßen.

IN RB THE EMIL BRITISH JAM

Rules were obtained by Mr. Lush against two share-
holden' in the Royal British Bank, calling upon them to
show cause why execution should not issue against them
in respect of judgments obtained against the bank. He
stated that the circumstances were precisely the same
as those which had been mentioned in other cases in
this court.
Rules granted.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Sittings in Banco.—Before Justices Cresswell and
Williams.)
MOORE v. WESS.-POLLUTING A WATERCOURSE.
The plaintiff in this case has a farm in Suffolk, through
which flaws a stream which he had been in the habit of
using for his cattle upon the farm. The defendant was
a tanner, and had premises some distance up the stream.
He was in the habit of using the water of the.stream in
his business and returning it back again into the stream,
and he justified his right to use the stream for the pur-
poses of his business. To this plea there was a new
assignment by the plaintiff, that the defendant had used
the stream to an extent beyond which his right ex-
tended. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Cole
ridge, who directed a verdict for the defendant; but
subsequently a rule was obtained for a new trial, upon
the grounds that his lordship was wrong in holding that
the defendant's plea setting up his right to use the
stream was proved, and that there was no evidence of
the plaintiff's new assignment. To-day cause was shown
against the rule being made absolute.
Mr. Serjeant Bylee, Mr. O'Malley, and Mr. Couch
appeared to show cause ; and Mr. Knowles, Mr. Pren-
dergast, Mr. Serjeant Wells, and Mr. Honyman to
support the rule.
The case occupied their lordships the whole day.
The Court ultimately directed the rule for a new trial
to be made absolute.
Rute absolute.

LLANELLY AND LLANDILO.

In the account of the opening of this line for traffic
which appeared in The Sun of yesterday it was stated
that the line had been completed within the engineer's
estimate of 8,0001. per mile. Mi. J. Samuel, the engi-
neer states that the cost of the line, including land,
works, stations, permanent way, sidings, law, engineer-
ing, and Parliamentary expenses, the electric telegraph,
and, in fact, every item from its commencement to its
opening for traffic, bee not exceeded, 6,8001. per mile.
Considering that the lino, which is seven miles in length,
embraces 180,000 cubic yards of excavations, two over
and four under road bridges, two parish road bridges,
nine river bridges; one of which, over the river Towy, is
of 150 feet clear span, and that all the bridges are either
of wrought iron, cast iron, or masonry, end that the per-
manent way is aid in a substantial manner, with rails
of 701 b. to the yard, he thinks it must bs admit•ed to
be one of the cheapest lines ever, made in this country.
With regard to the Vale of Towy line, which will con-
nect Llandilo Llandovery, and form the first link.in the
main line from Manchester to Milford, he states that
the works on it are now in an advanced state, anti will
be completed for less than 5,5001. per mile.

PERPETUAL CURACY OF OLEREENVIELL.

Their lordships delivered their judgment in this case,
which was an appeal front the decision of Vice-Chancellor
iindersley, whereby he had determined that the right of
election and of presentation of a clergyman to the per-
petual curacy of Clerkenwell had, by the effect of the late
statutes—viz., the 18th and 19th Vict c. 120, and 19
and 20th Vict., c. 112, being the acts passed for the
better Local Management of the Metropolis—been trans-
ferred from the parishioners and inhabitants of the pa-
rish, paying tithes, rates, and assessments to the church
and poor, to a select vestry of the parishioners, consti-
tuted in manner directed by first of those acts. The
case was beard before the Vice-Chancellor, upon motion
for an injunction to restrain the trustees of the living
and the select vestry from presenting, and the Bishop of
London from inducting the Rev. Robert Maguire, who
had been elected by the select vestry, to the living. The
motion had been refused by the Ytce-Chancellor, with
costs. Their lordships reversed the decision of the Vice-
Chancellor. The consequence is that there will be a
decree declaring that the right of election or presentation
has not been altered or affected by the late statutes ; and
that the election of the Rev. Robert Maguire was null
and void, and directing that an injunction should issue
restraining the vestry from presenting him to the bishop
for a license as a candidate duly elected.
