Nothing had been done in the matter
Of the India loan, which WAS regarded
with less favor in the money market.
Sugar and coffee were rather lower in
London.
Lord Derby had proposed his new
bill for the government Of India to
Parliament. 1t was more comprehen-
sive than that OF Lord Palmerston, but
almost identical in spirit, with hi
measure. Both houses had adjourned
for the Easter holidays.
The Duke de Malakof was not ex-
pected TO leave Paris for London until
after Easter, when he would open q
splendid establishment in that city,
1t was reported that Napoleon would
soon again visit Queen Victoria. The
arrests of political offenders and de-
portation Of political convicts continu-
ed in France. It was said that the
Count de Persigny would be nominal
ed head Of the French Cabinet, but
this was denied by some Paris letter
writer's. The country continued quiet,
but trade was very dull, although the
Paris Bourse was firm. The Emperor
had met many capitalists in council on
the subject Of the depression in bust
ness, and it was thought that some ap-
proach to the system Of free trade
would be made. The relations towards
England we're regarded Is improved.
The telegraphic adviccs from India
are important. They are dated at
Lucknow on the 9Th, and Bombay on
the 9th ult. 1t is likely that the rebel
lion has terminated before this time,
either by surrender or slaughter Of the
mutineers in Lucknow, as Sir Colin
Campbell invested the place on three
sides on the LIST ult., with sixty thous-
and troops and one hundred and twen-
ty guns, whilst Sir James Outram had
taken six thousand men across the
river in order to cut of the retreat of
the rebels. The mutineers we're de-
feated with great loss by General Out
ram, at the Alumbsgh in February, and
they we're also beaten at different points
by other generals. The Punjab was
perfectly quiet. 1t is reported that
the English ladies in Lucknow were
safe with the queen"
The following important items of
proof in regard to the cause Of the out
break in India, we're adduced upon the
trial Of the ex.King of Delhi.
First-The revolt was instigated by
the Shah Of Persia, who promised
money and troops. His proclamation
to that effect was posted over the Mos
pue gate, and was taken down by Or
der Of Sir Theophilus Metcalee, who
moreover was warned to fly, as the
Persians we're coming, and that the
Musselmans were exceedingly excited.
Sir Theophilus thought the matter one
Of no Importance.
Second-A paper was produced, ad-
dressed to Mr.. Colvin by Mohammed
Dervishl revealing the whole plot six
weeks before it broke out. Mr.. Colvin
treated the warning Is unimportant,
and never even reported it to Govern
ment.
Third-The murders of the Euro
peans in Delhi were committed by or
der of the King, in the presence ofthe
Royal Family, and by means of the
Khassburdars, his special personal
guard.
Accounts from Nicaragua, say that
General Jerez is in arms against the
government of Martinez, and that af-
fairs in that country are again in as
great confusion as ever. The steamer
San Carlos had been seized and sunk
by the Nicaraguans, the Costa Rican
guard which was on board having
been previously driven off. 1t was
said that Mr.. Webster had procured
kind of contract from the Costa Rican
government in which 1t was stipulated
that when Vanderbilt pays 100000 it
would consent to sell the steamers.-
The sinking Of the San Carlos, the on-
ly steamer in its possession, effectually
disposes of the conditions of this bar
gain.
The committee Of arrangements for
the Orsini and Pierri demonstration,
in the city of New York, met on Tues
day evening last, and determined that
the affair should take place on Thurs
day next. The sale of tickets il pro.
greseing.
