carried on upon the same scale, or anything like
the same scale, of expenditure or exertion. We
suppose, however, that MERCATOR, and his dis-
ciples would rather sacrifice India than in any
degree impair what they are pleased to term "the
integrity of the standard," or permit the issue of a
single note upon securities beyond the amount so
arbitrarily fixed.
No valid reason has ever been assigned against
1/. notes. They saved the Bank in 1825, and
prevented a general stoppage. Bat in place of
extending their use in consequence, they were soon
after prohibited in England, although largely ir,
use in Scotland and Ireland, where gold coin is
seldom if ever seen, save in the hands of a
stranger. It is said that they may be used for
political purposes, but it must be borne in mind
that nothing of the kind occurred in the sister
country during the Young Ireland agitation, and
if a political run for gold was to take place, the
large notes would prove more formidable instru-
ments to those who were bound to convert them
into sovereigns.
What is now required is an extension of issues,
and the adoption of the smaller denominations of
notes, similar to those in use in Ireland
and Scotland. If based on proper security,
or receivable in payment of taxes, there could
be no danger 1. Not an ounce of gold would
require to be deposited. It should then resume
its proper functions as an article of commerce,
highly valuable for adjusting the exchanges be-
tween different nations, but a small, premium
would check its exportation much more effectually
than an increase in the rate of interest, which in-
jures innocent traders, who are not in any degree
responsible for the evils that have arisen.

It is surely time that some energetic measures
should be adopted to render the Angle-Indian
Government more efficient, and better qualified to
meet the crisis. It is quite obvious that Lord
CANNING is not " the right man in the right
place." He has not the energy or ability to con-
trol the Council—is in fact a mere puppet in their
hands, only useful to snub and disgust military
men, whose opinions on military matters are
unhesitatingly overruled by black-coated civilians
—whose leading principle is, and has been " India
for the Civil Service." It is perfectly notorious
that Sir PA.TRICIE GRANT, an admirable officer,
who, if left to himself, would have rendered
valuable service, was thwarted in every point—
his advice disregarded, and his sound views set at
nought.. The same game was attempted to be
played against Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, but fortu-
nately, not being a Company's officer, he could
adopt an independent course, and sever the red-
tape trammels in which they tried to enthral
him.

But although Sir CoLIN will be true to himself
and to his country, enormous mischief is effected
by these incapables. The proclamation of martial
law was rejected, although petitioned for by almost
every Englishman not holding office. Natives
are placed in judicial situations, giving them un-
controlled power over the lives and properties of
Europeans—powers which, if we are to believe
the statements made by a correspondent of the
Daly New, have been most grossly and atroci-
ously abused. It declares that " sundry of the
natives whe had been appointed to judicial offices
in those parts of India which are now in
a state of insurrection, have been ezercasing
their functions by hanging their official
superiors, and other Englishmen who have
been so unfortunate as to fall into their mer-
ciless hands." And yet, with a degree of fatuity
almost inconceivable, Mahomedans are daily nomi-
nated to high situations. The writer, who mani-
festly understands his subject, says :—" Some of
these appointments are perfectly absurd. It is
hardly credible, yet it is the fact, that the Calcutta
gamete of July 15 announces appointments of
five Mahomedans to the office of principal sadder
ameers of Cawnpore, Moradabad, Farr ack-
abed, and Bareilly, the whole of these places
and the surrounding country being then in
the power of the insurgent'. But those who
have the influence to direct the Govern-
ment leould rather do anything than acknowledge
the error they have committed in the employment
of natives in preference to Englishmen out of the
exolusivecovenanted service of the East India Com-
pany. This country, instead of being regarded as
the conquered dominion of England, has been rued
as if it was a petty borough for the exercise of the
East India Company's patronage. The servants
of that Company, in their selfish feeling, have
taught the natives to despise us, and the natives
have learned their lesson well. We trust, how-
ever, that the East India's Company's rule is
coming to an end—that the people of England,
aroused by the murder of their countrymen, the
gross insulting barbarity practised against English-
women, and the fiendish torture of children in
their parents' sight, wi'l at last insist upon the
inquiry which independent Englishmen in this
country have so often asked for in vain."
That inquiry should be at once instituted, and
it should be of a very stringent and searching
character. Why should not India be placed un-
der the direct rule of Qacen VICTORIA, with a
responsible Government of men duly qualifie I
for the posiqon ? Why should not trained and
educated lawyers be sent out to preside at the
different courts throughout the country, in place of
men ignorant of the first principles of jurisprudence
or of treacherous and corrupt natives. The due ad-
ministration of justice is indispensable. Without
it no people can be happy, contented, or pros-
perous. But there is no Royal road to legal lore,
no short cut to information. Men, or rather
lboys, have been sent out in the vain hope that
they will turn out experienced jurists. They are
paid extravagant salaries, double the amount
necessary to obtain the services of competent
men, trained at Westminster, the Four Courts,
or the Court of Session at Edinburgh, and
able to discharge the duty with credit to them-
selves and advantage to the country. We urged
these matters in 1853, but the interests of the
Civil Service prevailed, and every other considera-
tion was sacrificed. Can we wonder, then, that
one of the chief demands of the non-officials in
India should be for Queen's Courts presided over
by trained lawyers, and English the Court lang.

LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 22, 1857.

The East India Company yesterday advanced
the price of their bills on India by one penny
the rupee, or about 4 per cent. The effect
of this movement will be to check the
purchase of such bills, and tend to a
a greatly increased exportation of bullion. The
poverty of the Indian Treasury is thus clearly ex-
hibited. The directors know that the whole of
their resources will be required in India, and that
they must provide in England for the dividends
and pensions payable in this country. They have
clready borrowed a million sterling from the Bank
of England, ankhave so far interfered with the
funds which ought to be applied for the benefit of
the commercial interests. That million has pro-
bably added one per cent. to the minimum rate of
discount ; and should farther pecuniary accom-
modation be required, as the step of yesterday
seems t 3 indicate, there will be still further
charges, until
,trade is completely paralysed, and
manufacture totally suspended.
The bullionist organs are assuring the nation
that trade was never in a sounder condition. We
do not hear the disgusting cant of over-trading or
over production, as if there could be over-produc-
tion while our fellow-creatures, men of our own
blood, speaking the same language, and worship-
ping the same Deity, were hungry and half naked,
unable to obtain a sufficiency of wholesome food
or comfortable clothing. None of these specious
pretexts are now set up. It must then be the
monetary enactments that have produced the mis-
chief ; and, as in October, 184', there can be
no relief until they have been repealed or sus-
pended. This should be the work of Parliament.
Nothing but imperative necessity could justify a
Ministerial interference, and when a step involv-
ing such extraordinary responsibility, and so uu
disguised a departure from the law, became essen-
tial, as we believe it will be before many days
have elapsed, not an hour should be lost in con-
Telling the Legislatnie, that its sanction may be
obtained to the transaction.
It is quite impossible that the trade and
manufactures of the country can flourish,
with interest
at eight per cent. in Thread-
needle-street, and fully double it all through the
country. Some course must be adopted to alleviate
the panic, and restore the credit and confidence
which were the chief sources of England's commer-
cial and manufacturing supremacy. It is not by
closing works and factories, stopping looms, and
turning those able and willing to work out of
employment that we can continue to pay our way.
It is not by rendering the creators and producers
of national wealth, unprofitable consumers, that we
can extricate ourselves from the Indian difficu'ty,
re-establish our rule in Central and North-Western
India, or teach Mr. Commissioner YEll the necef.,-
sity of faithfully observing treaties. The Me

MUSIC.

ST. MARTIN'S-HALL.

Last evening Mr. Hullah commenced his annual series
of sacred concerts with Mendelssobn's St. Paul, which
was performed in a manner which we have seldom, and
in some respects never heard excelled. Mr. Hullah's
orchestra is better this season than it has ever been,
both in power and quality. The numbers of the orches-
tra and chorus were so well balanced, and the instru-
mental effJcts wolf so subdued and delicate, without
lainit enfeebled, that Mendelssohn's sublime choral har-
monies were strengthened and embellished without
being, as is too often the case, overwhelmed by a mass
of loud instrumental sound. The solo parts, too, were
ex.:zellectly sustained. Mlle. de Villa, has a soprano
voice of the finest quality, sings exquisitely in tune, has
a pure and finished style, and in all she does shows taste,
intelligence, and feeling. Miss Palmer, the contralto, is
well known at Mr. Hullah's concerts, and a deserved
favourite with his audience. Mr. Allan Irving, who
sustained the bass part, is a singer of great merit. The
whole performance was received by a large audience
with expressions of the warmest approbation.

THE SPAIvISII CRISIS.

A private letter from Madrid, of the 16th, re-
marks as follows on the Ministerial crisis, which
does not seem to have as yet attained its definitive
solution :

"The telegraph will have long since informed you of the
partial solution of our ministerial crisis—a crisis which has
been long and painful. A very animated discussion took
place at the Palace, in presence of the Queev, betwee:
Bravo Murillo and Armero, who proposed each a differ.
sot system. These systems differed, it is true, but only
in form, for, in reality, the party to which both be-
long has ever governed arbitrarily. The other persons
who were present took a share in the controversy, and
sided with the one or the other according to their respec-
tive views. After hearing all that was said pro and con..
the Queen took some time to consider, and, as you are
already aware, Armero cape off with flying colours. Her
Majesty,characterises
m
ho
combatant,
her,woev eb however,m
withritt, toe spirit of conciliation which
oted to her presence one of the
vanquished
a friend of Bravo Murillo, and
a man of the highest honour, and declared to him that
she greatly appreciated his loyalty, his disin-
terestedness, and his patriotism, Her Majesty thus
keeps Armero, and at the same time pays fleeter
iag compliments to the others. We are now waiting to
learn the names of the co:leagues of Armero and Mon—
for the latter is the ate? ego of the former. You will
have perceived that the Eilacos have nothing whatever
to do iu this arrangement; and that the Reformists
of Bravo Murillo as wsll as the Absolutists are ex-
cluded ; and if the Vicalearists (the O'Donnell section)
be also set aside, I do not see how the new Minis-
try can get on. The Moderados were never more
broken up into fractions than now, and it would
seem that her Majesty, in wishing to reconcile the
dissentient parties, meant to expose to the public the
disunion which exists in the whole party. Add to
these discordant eleneents General Narvaez, who is
furious at the overthrow of his Ministry, and who
would stop at nothing if his force, his influe-ce
(which, by the way, is null), and his courage were
on a par with his anger and his hatred against certain
powerful persons both in the Palace and out of it.
Such is the picture presented by the Moderado parry
at the close of the year which has elapsed since they up-
n4, by means of a coup d'etat, a Government which
tbey and others were wont to call anarchical.' Yet
teat anarchical Government found in the Treasury, on
its accession to power, just 3,0001., and it left
1,000,000,000, while the Narvaez Ministry leaves
400,000,000 of reels fl .ating debt, the State coffers
empty, the year's budget spent, not to speak of
300,000,000 rears of the Mires loan also exhansted. What
a difference between the n.en of anarchy, and the so-
called men of ceder ! It is probable that Narvez will re-
turn to his retreat in the provinces, or wing his
flight to France, where he will, as usual, present
himself as a vetine. Yet in this he is sincere ; Narvez
L a victim whenever he quits power ; and during the
period of his txclu•ion from it, he grows into an ultra-
Liberal. You meat then count in him a revolutionist tl e
more, and not sne among the least ardent of the band. It
is, however, fortunate for public tranquillity and for the
Throne that be is only a revelutienist in intention
(you know vhat materials our national proverb at-
tributes to tae pavement of a place ti at shall be
nameless), in thought, and in theory. O'Donnell told
him so to his face in full senate. Apropos to the re-
volution of 1154. Then, also, Narvaez promised to
come when canted,'--but he never came; he was ill.
Other General presented themselves in the field, and
had not, like Narvaez, the misfortune to fall ill so inop-
portunely. 'There are many like him who promise
come,' but dc not keep their word. This, however, is
ancient histcry, and there is no use in reverting to it.
thisWh motohme coleagues of Armero will be no one can at
entsay to a certainty.

TMa PENIC 01? WALES.—The Prince of Wales paid
the Prinbev of Prussia a visit at Coblentz on the 16th
inst., while on his way homewards down the R-ine.
Die Prince 'lad intended to arrive at that town the day
before, but . thick fog, that covered the Rhine and its
banks, compelled the steamer to anchor off Bingen,
where his Royal Highness passed the night. On arriving
at Coblentz one of the Princess's Chamberlains was in
waiting to receive the Prince at the landing-place, and
conducted lirn and his suite to the Palace ; thence, after,
a stay of stout an hour and a half, the "'rine," of Waits
was conducted by the Princess of Prussia herself to the
banks of tie river, where he re-embarked. As General
Todtleben is just now staying at Coblentz, and is a ire-

PARIS, WEDNESDA Y.

The Univers is the only Paris journal containing
a political article ; it devotes, its attention to the
principalities question, which it treats in the fol-
lowing manner :

" The Moldo-Wallachises appear to imagine that
they may do just what they like. Turkey enter-
tains a very different opinion, and if Austria and
England think as she does, France an 3 Russia, as
a set-off, authorises, to a certain extent, the preten-
sions and the hopes of the Moldo-Wallachians.
These views, although so different and so opposed
to each other, have also for bases, according to
their authors, the decisions of the congress of
Paris. Both sides invoke the same article of the
treaty, and maintain that its wording is very clear.
If the Porte accepts the views of the unionists,
or submits to them, Moldavia and Wallachia will
no longer form part of the Ottoman empire. What
in fact under such conditions would he the value
of a formula which preserved to the Staten the title
of Suzerain ? The Journal des Debats thinks is
strange that the Porte should protest, but that is
the least it could do. Can the support which four
of the powers represented at the congress of Paris
have hitherto given to the unionists lead to the
belief that the pretensions of tha- party will be ad-
mitted ? The puelic is rather d sposed to solve the
question in the affirmative. Hence the rumours
spread with regard of the prince who is to be called
on to govern constitutionally the Moldo-Walla-
chians. Prince Murat, and even the Prince de
Leuchtenberg, although be belongs to the imperial
family of Russia, were spoken of; six mouths
ago a Belgian prince was mentioned, as likewise a
prince of Nassau. But these rumours are mere
speculation, and it would be wrong to at ach any
importance to them. The journals speak on spe-
culation in stating that the sovereigns have come
to an understanding on any p articular name. But
if the Moldo-Wallachian deputies are agreed on the
question of the union, and if they demand, accord-
ing to their programme, a foreign prince as an
hereditary sovereign, it is probable that they will
desLnate the prince most worrhy in their eyes of
reigning over Roumania. It may be taken for cer-
tain that their choice will not fall on either a Rus-
sian or an Austrian, and they will also set aside
any prince who, ft {Dm his origin, is subject to the
fl inuence of one of the great States bordering on
the Danube. In the meantime Austria seeks to
prove that the last elections have not been free ;
and if she accepts them, it is because she considers
th,) matter as indifferent with respect to the defini-
tive organisation of the principalities. It may be
seen by this simple statemeut of facts that the ques-
tien of the Dann hian principalities does not yet ap-
proach a solution."

Th• following private telegraphic despatches have
been received here :

VIENNA, Oar. 20.

eagerly accepted, but still the matter cannot be
considered definitively settled, as many of the cre-
ditors of Boscovitz and Co. were not present at the
assembly. The liabilities of Messrs. Boscovitz al e
1,800,0001 in bills and 278,0001 in book-deb's
During the last two or three days there has been
lull, but it is probable that the crisis is very far from
being at an end. Information was given this
morning that one or two manufacturing firms had
suspended their payments, but no names can be
mentioned until the report has received complete
confirmation.

The Divan of Moldavia voted almost unanimously,
while recognising the rights of the Porte consecrated by
trea•ies, the union of the Principalities under a foreign
prince of a Western dynasty, a representative govern-
ment, and the neutrality of the State.
MADRID, OCT. 21.
The Gates of the kingdom, convoked for the 30th
inst., will ant assemble till the 30th of December.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 21.

The Bu )get is at present tinder consideration by the
States-Gener6l. It exhibits a most prorperous.financial
condition, a new excess of receipts that will allow of a
further portion of the public debt being cancelled. A
dotation for the Prince of Orange is considered as
settled.
BERLIN, OCT' 20.
The King was rather better yesterday, and was up for
one hour. His Majesty had eight hours' quiet sleep in
the night.
Intelligence from St. Petersburg of yesterday, by
telegra:,h, states that the government had just pub-
lished an official declaration stating that only Anapa,
Sakum-Kaleh, and Redout-lialeh, on the Asiatic coast
of the Black Sea, will be open to foreign vessels. A
Russian vi-a will be necessary.
