FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.
It has been stated that the Legislative Body must
shortly be summoned, inasmuch as the constitu-
tion require that the new Legislature shall meet
within six months ; and that delay expires on the
29th November. The Legislative Body will pro-
bably sit at least for a month, as the constitution
allows deputies who will neither take the oath of
fidelity to the Emperor nor formally refuse it that
period before they can be declared not to belong to
' the Chamber. But thebudget will not be discussed
until the ordinary session in February or March..
It is said thlt the Emperor is now having the de-
tails of the budget examined, and that his intention
is to have
a bona fide surplus of receipts .•of
25,000,000 francs. Several savings are of,
charge of 50,
and among them is one to be effected by the dis-
in the army. 000 men, who have served two years

the board of the Bank of England had raised the
rate of discount to 7 per cent., and it was thought
that the Bask of France would raise its own t
count to 6 per cent. The following were thelast

SWEDEN.

The Hereditary Prince of Sweden has signalised
his assumption of the post of Regent of Sweden
and Norway by important nominations in the artet
and navy. Amongt them are the appointment el
Prince Oscar, his brother, to the command of the
brigade of the King's Body Guard ; of General de
Wrede to that of the artillery ; and of Rear•Adra
ral Annerstedt to the chief administration of the
navy. It has been already stated that a propositioe
has been made in the Chamber of Nobles of the
Swedish Diet that an annual allowance shall be
made to tho Prince as Regent. In the Storthieg
of Norway, a motion that an annual sum shall
be granted him in that capacity has been air
nounced, and it is likely to be adopted. The prince
Regent is shortly to proceed to Christiania to close
the session of the Storthing.

would be more terrible than death itself. The
same thing may occur in advancing or retreating
iu the face of the foe. Everything must be sub-
servient to the prejudices, which with him are part
of his very life and being, of which he is peculiarly
jealous, and the slightest suspicion of violating which
is sufficient to induce him to cast aside all conside-
rations of gratitude, and to become the sanguinary
assassin of men to whom he was previonsly bound
by the strongest ties of respect and duty.
Let us first trample out the last spark of the
mutiny, and inlict retributive justice on the real
perpetrators of the murders and outrages, and
then, it will be time enough to consider, whether
we shall again sanction the introduction of such
an element of disturbance as the employment of
men who have already gixen such a deplorable
taste of their quality to their innocent employers.

"DELIII.

" Our latest accounts from Delhi extend to the
26th ult. The Punjab reinforcements, meutioned
in last message, reached camp on the 14th ult.,

and more recently an auxiliary force of about
2,000 men from Uasumere has marched to join
the force. It is expected to do good service.
"A new siege train from Ferozepore is expected
by the end of August, and the Chief Commissioner
of the Punjab calculates that, by the middle of this
month, the force before Delhi will be little short of
15,000 men. This estimate may be somewhat too
high. There has been the usual skirmishing, with
the same result. On the 12th ult. a battery which
was troublesome was taken, and on the 25th Briga-
dier Nicholson attacked the insurgents, who were
trying, in a large body, to get to our rear, entirely
defeated and routed them. Took 12 guns, with all
the ammunition, equipage, and baggage of the

enemy.
" The troops are in goof health and spirit,.
Wounded doing well. Supplies abundant. It is
said that some overtures have been made by, or on
behalf of, the King. They will not be entertvined.
The garrison have beenlevying contributions in the
ueighourhood of Agra and the north-western pro-
vinces.

"AGRA.

cc Latest intelligence from Agra to the 25th
August.—All still in the fort, and general health
good. Nothing particular bad occurred, except an
expedition to Futtehpore, Sukree, and another to
Hatrass, which latter defeated the insurgents, butt
was not strong enough to re-occupy Allyghur.
The Furruckabad Nowab is said to be on the road
between that place and Cawnpora with three
regiments of mutinous infantry
and one of
cavalry. He will be dealt with by General Have-
lock's column, after relief of LlR:know. On the
deserting of Goruckpore by the civil officers a
Chuckadar from Oude took possession. Anarchy and
confusion in the district, and Chumparun conso
quently in. some dauger, as mentioned elsewhere.
Azimgurh and Jounpore have been occupied by the
Goorkhas who marched from Goruckpore with the
civil officers of native states. The mutineers of
Gwalior Contingent, joined by those from Indore
and Mhow, reckoned at 4,500 Infantry, N,,900
valry, and 30 guns, are still believed to be at
Gwalior, hold in check, it is reported, by Scindia.
" The Political Agent, Major Macpherson) writ-
ing from Agra on the 7th ult., expresses a con-
fident belief in 11;s loyal and friendly attachment to
us. The peace of Bhopel is imperilled by the open
mutiny of the Contingent. All the Bundelcund
chiefs continue to behave well, as also the
Neveah of Jo wooh and the petty States of Dhar
Dawars, atc. ; none having openly revolted except
Anijhera. In Rajpootana, native chiefs quiet and
apparently true. The conduct of the Nizam's Go-
vernment at Hyderabad admirable. Mohurrum
-Festival passed off without any,commotion or dis-
turbance whatever. Puttiala, and all his Sutlej
chiefs, continue in active and zealous co-operation.
Gholab Sing, of Cashmere, died on the 2d of
August, his successor is, as he was, our staunch
adherent.

11 R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet,
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
,TfIIAL TEETH Axed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
lccay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
weration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
viaranteed to restore articulatiob and mastication and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible. De-
cayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At home from ten till five.

HEALTH OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, MONDAY.

The Ereuz Zeitung states that the amelioration
observed in the state of the King on Saturday
night and Sunday morning is still maintained.

The Princess of 'Prussia has arrived from
Coblentz.

The President of the Council of Ministers has
repaired to Potsdam.
M. Manteuffel arrived in Berlin at two o'clock
sin Sunday afternoon.
Public prayers were offered up yesterday in all
the Churches.

VIENNA, OaT. 11.
Advices from Belgrade state that a plot, hosing
for its object to attempt the life of the Prince, of
Servia and to overthrow the governmept, has been
discovered. Saveral persons of note have been
arrested.

The Duchess of Parma has just put forth two
decrees relative to the cessation of the league
between Austria, Modena, and Parma, which will
expire on the 31st iust.
These decrees re-establish the regulations that
existed prior to the League.
London, England, 1857-10-13

" BENGAL AND BEHAR.

" The Rewah troops detached as reported
in last message to intercept the Dinapore muti-
neers were not in time to arrest their progress ;
the latter crossed the Tonse River about the 26th
ult., after some detention by high flood, and their
march has been marked by plunder. They give
out that they are going to Delhi. The rebel Kooer
Singh fled from Rohtas about the 27th or 28th
ultimo, and sought refuge in Rewah Territory.
The Rajah warned him off, whereupon most of hir4
Sepoy adherents deserted him. A column, con-
sisting of a wing of the 53d Queen's, 27th Madras
N. 1., and some guns, loft Raneegunge on the 27th
ultimo, and - will clear the Trunk Road. The
Nepaul Durbar Las given 1,000 Goorkhas to
aid in the occupation of Chumpirun, and the dis-
tricts on the left bank of the Ganges, which are
endangered by the abandonment of Goruckpore by
the civil officers. It is thought that the force
stated, which left Katmandhoo on the 13th or 14th
ult., will suffice to restore order in those districts.

FORT GEORGE AND T 11.6 HIGHLAND

DEPOTS.

It has been already hinted by one of the morn-
ing correspondents that the depots of Highland
regiments, the service companies of which are in
India, and which are at present stationed in Aber-
deen, might be profitably centred in Fort George,
while the militia regiments of some of the adjacent
counties might be raised and stationed in Aberdeen,
Perth, Stirling, &c., whence the Highland depots
might be liberally supplied with volunteers.
This would undoubtedly bo an exoellent plan,
ono not only convenient and profitable to Govern-
ment, but at the same tinae advantageous to the
recruit.
accommodation in Aberdeen is insufficient
e for six depots, and much inconvenience and want
of comfort is already experienced there on that
account. If that is the case when the depots are so
weak, what will it be when they are raised to their
eer ,2 0
full
The There must evidently ba
some comalptlma
alteration.
"battalion must either be
divided or removed to some more capacious station.
Where is there a more suitable place than Fort
George—where there is ample field for musketry
practice, now so justly valued ; and where the re-
cruit may be -more perfectly drilled by being as it
were isolated from temptation ?
I sincerely hope the Government will take the
case into consideration, and come to the good and
wise witausion of sending these depots onward to
Fort George, where there is such facility formaking
the soldier what his name implies, and thus
enabling him to sustain and even enhance that
renown which is already characteristic of the High-
landers in the far East.

ROYAL PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

This house re-opened last night, after a vacation of
seven weeks, very actively and tastefully employed ; for
the whole of the interior has been re-decorated at consi-
derable cost, and with complete novelty of design.
Nothing can be more beautiful than the general effect, or
more strongly contrasted with the heavy, sombre style
of ornament which prevailed before, and had become
faded and out of keeping with the magnificent displays
that met the public eye when the curtain rose on the
great historical revivals which have rendered this theatre
the theme of admiring conversations in all classes of so.
c'ety, and have stamped the period of Mr. C. Kean's
ivouagement as perhaps the most memorable era in the
annals of our national stage. On his appearance, when
the curtain drew up and discovered Prospero and Mi-
randa on the point of the rock, evoking the subsidence
of the tempest, enthusiastic applause burst from all quer.
ters of,a crowded house. Such a reception was due to
the position he las so arduously and triumphantly won
by years of trial and anxious solicitude. Few, if any, of
his predecessers have united in their single person such
talent, both as manager and actor, and certainly acne
have rivalled him in the historical and archm)logical ac-
curacy with which the plays produced under his super-
intendence have been placed before the public. The new
act curtain, painted by Messrs. Grieve and Telbin, de-
serves unqualified praise.

MAJOR-GENERAL HAVELOCK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In Napier's Peninsular War, vol. vi.,
page 265, is the following :
" The Spaniards stopped, and, though the ad-
venturer Downie, now a Spanish General, encou-
raged them with his voice and they kept their
ranks, they seemed irresolute and did not advance.
There happened to be present an officer of the 43d
Regiment named Havelock, who, being attached to
General Alten's Staff, was sent to ascertain Girou's
progress. His fiery temper could not brook the
check. He took off his hat, he called on the
Spaniards to follow him, and, putting spurs to his

discovered. Several persons of note have been
arrested.

decrees relative to the cessation of the league

FRANCE.
' PARIS, MONDAY.
It has been stated that the Legislative Body must
shortly be summoned, inasmuch as the constitu-
tion require that the new Legislature shall meet
within six months ; and that delay expires on tha
20th November. The Legislative Body will pro-
bably sit at least for a month, as the constitution
allows deputies who will neither take the oath of
fidelity to the Emperor nor formally.refuse it that
period before they can be declared not to belong to
the Chamber. But the budget will not be discussed
until the ordinary session in February or March.
It is said that the Emperor is now having the de-
tails of the budget examined, and that his intention
is to have a bona fide surplus of receipts of
25,000,000 francs. Several savings are talked of,
and among them is one to be effected by the dis-
charge of 50,000 men, who have served two years
in the army.

SARDINIA.

TURIN, OCT. 9.—The Duke and Duchess de
Monteensier, who arrived here the day before yes-
terday from Switzerland, left Turin this morning for
Milan to pay a visit to their relatives the Archduke
Ferdinand and the Archduchess Charlotte. Sir
Thomas Wyse, British Minister at the Court of
Athens has been here the last few days, having
arrived from Germany (where he has been for his
health), and left this for his post yesterday.
A letter from Florence says :—" The Ministry
is firmly decided not to make any new concession
to Rome, and the bishops who presented the
famous petition don't know which leg to dance
upon. They make every effort to deny the authen-
ticity of the document in question."
The Direction of the journal Giglio has sought
without effect to obtain permission from the Grand
Duke to recommence its publication, which was
suspended for an attack on the Sardinian Govern-
ment. The editor of this journal, M. Mario Cavoriy
is scandalized at not finding any support in the
Government. In Tuscany, as in Piedmont, the
priesthood is losing ground.
It is said here to-day that the Turkish Charge
d'Affaires at this Court has presented to Count
Cavour within the last few days a copy of a circular
addressed by the Government of the Porte to the
European Powers on the subject of the Princips-
lities. In this document the Porte agrees to lease
the question of the future government of the
Danubian Principalities to a Paris Conference, but
does not disguise its own objection to their union.
This appeal is likely to alter the line of pOlicy whicb
the Piedmontese Government marked out for itself
on this subject, but it is possible some recent pas'
sages in contemporary history may have had •
great effect towards convincing the Government
here that its safest policy, even on questions
of minor importance, will be in future to
act in unison with those countries whose institn-,
tions and sympathies are conformable to those
of their own.

It appears that the difference between this GO'
vernment and that of Xing Ferdinand of Naples
is far from being smoothed: Notwithstanding all
the remonstrances of the Sardinian representative
at Naples, the treatment of thecrew of the Cagliari
has been as barbarous to the last as it was at the be'
ginning of their imprisonment. They have nog
been sent down to Salerno for trial, and neither the
Charge d'Affaires nor Consul has been able to SOO
them or have their clothes delivered to them.

M. JULLIEN'S CONCERTS.

The Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Beethoven "Nights "
(three of the first and two of each of the others) were
followed, for the first time since M. Jullien instituted
these classical entertainments, by a night devoted to the
gifted composer of " Der Freiscbutz," " Oberon," and
" Euryanthe.'' A " Weber Night" has been long looked
for by M. Jullien's patrons, and the result was an over-
flowing house and a triumphant success.
The "Concert-Stuck" (concert-piece so discriminated
because it is not in the strict form of a concerto) is per-
haps the most popular of all the pezzi di bravura by
means of which pianists of the highest rank love to dis-
port themselves in " classic" guise before the public.
Lizst, Littolf, Mme. Pleyel, Dreyschock, and a host of
others, make of this and two or three other compositions
of the real masters, their classical stock in trade. All
these eminent virtuosi have performed the " Concert-
Stiick" in London with more or less success ; but it is
no more than justice to say that not one of them pro-
duced the same effect in its performance as Miss
Arabella Goddard, who unites the best qualities while
avoiding the faults of each of them.
The vast audience was raised to the highest degree of
enthusiasm, and honoured the young artist with such an
"ovation" as is never accorded but to the rarest exhibi-
tions of genius, matured by study and aided by natural
talent and aptitude.
On Saturday a miscellaneous concert brought the
season to an end,
To-night the second bal-masque will take place.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

WESTMINSTER.
AFFECTING STATEMENT.—Mary Mahoney, a girl
apparently 18 or 19 years of age, was charged with
robbing her father of a clock.
The father, a labouring man, said that on last Wednes.
day three, weeks the prisoner broke his box open and
took out two waistcoats which she pawned ; she also
took the clock down from the wall and disposed of it is
the same way. He forgave her that and took the things
out of pawn, but, on Wednesday week she again came
to his house and took the clock again, subsequently
sending him the pawnbroker's ticket relating to it.
When she was taken into custody she declared she would
smash everything in his place.
Upon being called on for her defence she burst into
tears, and said he cruelly turned me out of doors,
and I
afterwards took the things he speaks of to enable
myself to get a situation. I was sitting at h e
ome
a month ago, having my tea, when he told m
to leave the place. I asked where I ,was to go to.
I had no home, but I had some friends to provide for
me. I asked him where I was to sleep, and what I was
to do, when he told me he did not care, I might
go upon the town for my living. I was obliged to go oat,
and wandered the streets day after day and night after
night. He and my mother had taken my shawl from
my back and bad pawned it, and as I wanted that and
a pair of boots before I could apply anywhere for a situa-
tion, I took the things, and having pawned them, re•
deemed the shawl and bought a pair of boots.
Prosecutor denied this statement in part, and said his
daughter had robbed him before.
Mr. Poynter said that it the girl's statement was true
it was very shocking. He should remand the accused,
and desire the police to make the most diligent inquiries
into the matter.

and elegant production as this. Its expressive de-
licacy is fully equalled by its musical excellence ;

cient to stamp the order of the work before us, and
insure its rapid circulation. The transition from

usually charmed with this Barcarola. A degree of
taste and skill is essential to the flowing intona-
tion of the melody, but we are convinced that all
singers and listeners of musical refinement will
highly appreciate the work.

LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 21, 1857.

The PRESIDENT'S Message delivered on the
opening of Congress on the Bth instant., has been
reeeicod per the Royal Mail Steani-Fhip Africa.

Tit is an important as well as a lengthy document,
in fact, a voluminous pamphlet treating of all
questions of foreign and domestic policy—de
omnibus rebus, et vibusqn,m aliis. It is cer-
tainly a more rational course than that which
prevails in this country, when the Royal Speech
merely shadows forth a faint outline of the
Ministerial intentions. The PxHSIDENT'S Mes-
sage, on the other hand, if it does not enter into
specific details, explains the general state and
condition of the Union, and the nature of the
main questions on which legislative or executive
action is required.
As might easily be expected, the monetary
crisis is the first topic referred to. Mr. BUCHANAN
notices the wonderful advantages and extraordi-
nary natural resources possessed by the United
States. They have all the elements of material
wealth in rich abundance, and have enjoyed
" unsurpassed plenty, in all the productions of

agriculture," and yet " manufactories are sus-

pended, public works retarded, private enterprise
of different kinds abandoned, and thousands of
useful labourers thrown out of employment
and reduced to want." The revenue of the
Government derived from its Customs duties
has also been so greatly reduced, that
the necessity of a public loan before the end of the
present session, has been more than hinted at, and
this, although very deplorable, is justly regarded
as " a slight misfortune, when compared with the
suffering and distress prevailing among the
People."

Mr' 33174311-4-NAN is not, however, quite so feli-
citous when he alludes to the causes of these unto-
ward results, Ile attributes it altogether to "an
extravagant and vicious system of paper currency;
and wemight partially imve
a with him but
for the reasons assigned, wilir__', eed a
are completely
erroneous. Had he ascribed it, to the «currency
system" in operation he would not hay.) been very
far wrong, but he has gone widely from the
mark
in considering that it was from the excess of the
circulating medium or paper issues. Full security
was given for all these issues, but, unfortunately,
they were based entirely on bullion. Every
bank was boned. to redeem on dernand in gold
or silTer—an operation manifestly incompatible
with an adequate supply of the measure and re-
presentative of value. But still more injurious
WAS the discredit cast on these paper issues by the
Government itself, which refused to receive a single
note in payment of taxation or duties. For all'
