THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 13.  The following is the latest news from India, per electric telegraph:—. 'The following despatch has been received by Lord Clarendon:—Alexandria, Aug. 7.—Delhi had not fallen up to June 27. There had been a good deal of fighting outside the fort walls. The rebels were repulsed with loss on every occasion. Gen. Courland, marching upon Thansi and Hisser, had two engagements with the rebels near Rirsa. The rebels fled in disorder, leaving 200 dead on the field, besides prisoners. The Punjaub remains quiet. General Woodburn's columns crushed the rebellion at Aurungabad.'  Spollen, accused of the murder of Mr Little, the railway cashier at Dublin, was on Tuesday acquitted.  The Vanderbilt arrived at Cowes on Tuesday, with New-York mails to the Ist. Had on freight 526,000 dollars in specie. At New-York on the 30th the cotton market closed firm at 151 to cents for middling Uplands and New-Orleans. The stock market irregular, but closed steady on the 31st. Wheat dull, and freights without improvement.  The steamship Atlantic arrived at Liverpool from New-York yesterday morning. Her dates are up to the let instant, and she brings 364,456 dollars in specie. News anticipated by the Vanderbilt.  On Tuesday night, Lord Palmerston stated, in answer to a question from Mr D'hraeli, that the British government, anticipating the concurrence of Austria, has, after conference with the French Emperor, agreed to advise thd Sultan to annul the recent elections in the Principalities.  Five Scotch Bills have this week made progress in the House of Lords. The most important have been the Lunatics Bill, which on Monday passed through committee without alteration ; and the Court of Session Bill, which on the same day reached the farther stage of being reported.' On Tuesday night it passed its last stage in the House of Lords, as did also the Burial-grounds (Scotland) Amendment Act.  Some of the English papers are indulging in what we must call injudicious commentaries on the trial of the Italian conspirators at Paris, and on the attitude before the European public which that trial compels Louis Napoleon to assume. Without absolutely expressing sympathy with the discomfited assassins they are sufficiently plain in the statement of their hostility to the French Emperor, and more than insinuate that the whole affair has been got up by his creatures, and is a mere plot of the police. For this belief there is not the shadow of a foundation, and a little reflexion might teach such writers that it is much more probable that there should be an attempt made on the life of Louis Napoleon by the combined body of French and Italian refugees, than that the French police should take the trouble of inventing one, and thus making themselves and their employers ridiculous in the eyes of the world. If the force of the passions of exiles could be calculated through any formula, we would probably find that the man upon earth whom they most heartily detest is this same Louis Napoleon, who stands doggedly in the way of the completion of their designs, and is a barrier to their progress which they would risk much to remove. This is the rationale of the late attempt upon his life concocted in London by the Mazzitti and the Ledru Rollin squad and which some English writers affect to disbelieve only because it has not succeeded. The article to which we more particularly refer tas much stress on the word liberty,' and reasons somewhat darkly on its advancement through agencies which we trust all enlightened and humane men once repudiate. We of this country have to do with the way in which the present 'the French acquired power, nor with the , of it in the land that he governs. we are concerned these are extraneous ~ but the peace of Europe and the tranof the world, which would be both imperilled death, are not extraneous questions; nor is going too far to say, that the safety of n in Europe is of so much consequence at this moment as that of Louis Napoleon. we may explain it he has the knack of the French quiet, and that of itstlf is a matter; and we must solemnly protest against ev of the silly pedantry so prevalent some years  will  nothing  quality  by It, no to us  perhaps,  sovereign  However  keeping  mighty
