LONDON, SATURDAY*, AUGUST 8, 1857

Another Etstern difficulty is homing in the
future—an ominous cloud is gathering on the
p(litieal horiz )n. The flags of Russia, Prussia,
France, and Sardinia have been lowered at Cons'an-
tinop'e. Dipl )natic relations are suspended with
the Sublime Porte by th'se Powers, and that for
a matter in which the Turkish Cabinet is sustained
and supported by England and Austria.
We regret that Sardinia should have joined the
malcontents. We entertain a high respect for
VICTOR EMMANUEL, and should always desire to
have the only other free monarchy in Europe
arrayed on our silo and struggling under the same
standard. We suspect, however, that the course
pursued by the Government of Turin is in-
fluenced rather by its very natural animosity
to Austria than by the real merits of the
case. It has sided with France rather than with
Russia or Prussia. It might perhaps wish to
support the Ottoman Government, but the oppor-
tunity of snubbing Austria affords a temptation
too strong to be resisted, and the weight of. Sar-
dinia has consequently been cast into the op-

posing scale.
As to the conduct of Russia we cannot feel the
slightest surprise ; we never expected anything
at her hands. All her professions of moderation
were, to use a familiar phrase, mere "bosh."
The snake was scotched, not killed. Vie had the
Power in our own hands, and foolishly relin-
quished it. We might have exacted valid secu-
rities, but were contented to bind her over in her
own. recognis3.nces. The natural result Ins
followed, perhaps a lit le sooner than might
have tbeen anticipated, but, sooner or Eter,
fresh complications were inevitable in conse-
quence of the lame and
impotent conclusion
of the contest in which we uselessly sacrified
50,000 English live, and 100,000,000/. of
English treasure.

The cc-operation cf Prussia with our opponents
indicates the true value of those dynastic
anew, on which so much stress is laid by the ad-
vocates of thirmanisrn. The ink is scarcely dry
in which the act, granting the Princess Royare
dowry is written, before we find the representa-
tive of Clicittot striving to diminish the prestige of
Great Britain, and already acting with a degree of
hauteur and insolence that might more fittingly
be displayed towards a third-rate Power. We
witnessed 81 much of Prussian duplicity and
vacillation during the late war, that perhaps the
most favourable syinptom that could be displayed,
is her unequivocal demonstration against us in
the first instance.

But Fiancz's e3ndut is more perpkving. We

THE BANK PANIC A GO W.
GLA Nov. 11.
This morning the City of Glasgow Bank sus-
p payment, which event created great excite-
vent in the city. There was a run upon the
..Tational Security Savings Bank, and also upon the
i3ritish Linen Company ; but while the latter bank
was paying out gold the officials were very busy in
receiving deposits. The run upon the Unioa Bank
was met with the greatest readiness by the resources
of the establishment and the large arrivals of gold.
The further supplies expected from London seem
to have quieted any feeling of panic, the run basing
greatly subsided. The directors of the City of
Glasgow Bank issued a notice that they had sus-
pended payment in the meantime, in consequence
of the great demand made upon them for gold.
During the day, however, the excitement caused
by the event was greatly lessened by the fact that
the other banks in town were accepting Western
and City of Glasgow banknotes in the transaction
of business, a course which the city authorities also
adopted in receiving payment of the city taxes. The
panic seems to be rapidly subsiding.

DEATH OF GENERALS NEIL
AND NICHOLSON.

RELIEF OF LUCKNOW.

We published yesterday in our first edition the
telegrams received by the Foreign-office and by
the India-house of the contents of the Bombay
mail of the 18th of October. A fuller despatch
has since been received from Cagliari. It is as
follows :

ALEXANDRIA, Noy. 5.

The Pottinger reached Suez on the 2d inst.,
with dates from Bombay to the 18th of October.

Gen. Havelock stormed and carried the enemy's
position at Meengarsour on the 21st of Septem-
ber, and continued his advance towards Lucknow,
driving the insurgents before him. On the 25th
the Residency was relieved, and on the 26th the
besiegers' intrenchmants were captured ; our loss
was 400 killed and wounded, and, among the
former, General Nail.

The latest intelligence is dated Cawnpore, Oct. 2.
Nearly the whole of the city (Lucknow) was in
our possession ; the resistance is said to have been
very obstinate.

Delhi was completely subjugated eon the 21st
of September. The enemy had abandoned their
camp beyond the walls. The King of Delhi was a
prisoner. The three Princes had also been cap-
tured and immediately shot. Our loss in killed
and wounded on the 14th is estimated at nearly
1,200. The subsequent loss appears to have been
slight. General Nicholson had died of his
wounds.

The latest news from Delhi, 'fria Lahore, is to
the 3d of October.

General Greathed, with a column 2,000 strong,
sent in pursuit of fugitives, was to move on to
Anop Shekur, on the way to Rohilcund.
General Wilson had resigned the command
from ill health, and was succeeded by General
Penny.

The official despatches are not yet recoived, and
information is still very defective.

The Dinapore mutineers have, it is feared, go.
as far up the country as Bauda.

Nana Sahib is believed to be in that neighbour.
hood, exciting the Gwalior mutineers to join
them. The Madras column, in falling back upon
Jubbulpore, had attacked and defeated the re.
volted 52d. Anxiety was felt for the garrison at
Saugor, which comprises a number of women and
children.

Scinde and Guzerat are quiet. There has
been some disturbance among the Bheels in Kan-
deish.

The Punjab is still disturbed between Lahore
and Mooltan, but in a very trifling degree.

The central and southern districts of the Bom-
bay Presidency are quiet.
Two Sepoys have been blown from guns at
Bombay for plotting sedition.
The Golden Fleecy had reached Ceylon.
The prices of imports were very steady, though
transactions were rather limited, owing to the
holidays.
Freights were stationary,. Bank rates of inte-
rest unaltered, but large quantities of specie had
been shipped to Calcutta.

A letter from Marseilles, of the 10th inst., states
that, during the previous 15 days, from 50 to 60 merchant
ships, which sailed thence for various ports, but princi-
pally for the Levant, had been tamed to return and seek
shelter in the Frioul, many of them sorely damaged.
The S.S.E. winds, which have prevailed at Marseilles
for several days, have prevented the ships in the port
from aging.

STEALING A COPPER.—Henry Searle wag placed at
the bar before Mr. Bingham charged with stealing a cop-
per. value 15s, the property of Mr. H. W. Greenshiele,
tailor, 40, Berwick-street, Soho.

About seven o'clock this morning the prosecutor had
occasion to go into his back kitchen, when he was sur-
prised to find the prisoner secreted behind the door, and
on being questioned he gave such evasive answers as to
who he was, and the cause of his being there, that pro-
secutor suspected his intention was to commit a robbery
and told him so. The prisoner thereupon rushed upon
him and seized him by the collar. A struggle ensued,
and during the struggle he dragged the prisoner into the
yard, where be called for assistance. A constable came
in shortly afterwards, and took the prisoner into custody.
On going over the premises prosecutor discovered that
the copper produced was found to have been removed
from the kitchen, and packed up ready to be carried off.
Prosecutor said he did not wisla to press the case heavily
against the prisoner, and begged of his worship not to
send it to the Sessions.

The prisoner, who pleaded guilty to the charge, was
committed to the House of Correction for three mosths,
with bard labour.

DISORDERLY PAUPERS.-A batch of seven sturdy
young girls were charged with being disorderly and
threatening to break the windows of St. Martin's Work-
house.

The prisoners applied for admittance to the house
last night, but iu consequence of the wards being full
they could not be admitted. They then filled their hands
with stones, and threatened to smash the windows. A
policeman was sent for, and took them into custody.

GOVERNMENT AUTHORISATION

THE BANK OF ENGLAND TO EXTEND

ITS ISSUE OF NOTES.

DOWNING-STREET, 12TH NOT.

GENTLEMEN,
Her Majesty's Government have observed with

great concern the serious consequences which
have ensued from the recent failure of certain
joint-stock banks in England and Scotland, as
well as of certain large mercantile firms, chiefly
connected with the American trade.
The discredit and distrust which have resulted
from these events, and the withdrawal of a
large amount of the paper circulation authorised
by the existing Bank Acts, appear to her Ma-
jesty's Government to render it necessary for
them to inform the Bank of England, that if they
should be unable in the present emergency to
meet the demands for discounts and advances upon
approved securities, without exceeding the limits
of their circulation prescribed by the Act of 1844,
the Government will be prepared to propose to
Parliament, upon its meeting, a Bill of Indemnity
for any excess so issued.

In order to prevent this temporary relaxation
of the law being extended beyond the actual neces-
sities of the occasion, her Majesty's Government
are of opinion that the Bank terms of discount
should not be reduced below their present rate.
Her Majesty's Government reserve, fort future
consideration, the appropriation of anyprofit which
may arise upon issues in excess of the statutory
amount.

Her Majesty's Government are fully impressed
with the importance of maintaining the letter of
the law, even in a time of considerable mercantile
difficulty, but they believe that, for the removal
of apprehensions which have checked the course of
monetary transactions, such a measure as is now
