©ummarp. • jU ' The telegraphic despatches, with summaries o f ■ \V '"Stents o f the Indian mails, reached London on last, the 25th instant, with intelligence br m Calcutta to the 22nd o f October. The news
Bsht hv t-K*» R#»nfinrk and Vectis will probably be
Greathed’s column,
c o & by the Bentinck and L oo Cred as decisive. General _ haj°|? Stro,!s’ *n Pursuit o f the fugitives from Delhi ^ ctoh*a' en and routet^them on the 4th and 5th o f Was at5r\ I i e arrived at Agra on the 10th, where he the sani / by the Indore and Gwalior mutineers c h e t i . , 1; 0 ,_ / om we have so often heard as held ir l ° ° Ion y V ° * \ ar ar>d Scindiah.

On and was or, V Greathed had crossed [hPe j „ ^ i^ was exPe 3 ybv0thLeUCknr * where his arrival, ^ V e lo c k ’s nrmv to 7 nno ' ' ° tb October, would raise ocks army to 7,000men. That gallant general,
on the ,13th October, was in the Residency at Lucknow with 1,500 men. A convoy o f provisions had been received from Cawnpore, and it is added that the garrison could easily force their way out, but for the unwillingness to expose the women and children to further danger. On the 16th October 1,200 were to start from Cawnpore for Lucknow; and i f there is no mistake as to dates in Lord Lyons’ message by the Vectis, these troops, her Majesty’s 53rd and 93rd Regiments, arrived there on the 24th October. But we do not understand how the news from Lucknow could be two days later than the news from Calcutta. Three miles from Lucknow, at a place called Allumbamek and Alumbar, were 1,000 men, with sick and wounded, and General Outram was desirous that supplies and reinforcements should be organised there rather than at Cawnpore, the communications between the two being perfectly open, while between Allumbamek and the Residence the communications are difficult, as the enemy is entrenched, in great force, and very strong in artillery. Large bodies o f the troops sent out from England had already arrived, and more were on the point o f arrival at Madras, at Bombay, and at Calcutta. The King of Delhi was to be put upon his trial, two more of his sons were to be shot, and the revenue " was being brought in very "rapidly, and loyalty was the order o f the day.”
On the other hand, the Europeans at Saugor are still in the fort, and reliefis urgently required. That appears to us to be the only matter o f anxiety contained in the despatches. There are reports o f threatened disturbances at Hyderabad-part o f another Bengal regiment has mutinied— moreover a person named Maun Singh, or Bajoinh Singh, h «
Anglican doctrinal dispute before many months are over.
— The Queen’s Bench has unanimously decided that the promotion o f the Incumbent o f an English living to the bishopric o f Christ Church, in New Zealand, did not entitle the Queen to present to the vacant living. Important consequences are involved in this, on which we must defer our observations. Another question o f great interest has been argued, and now stands for judgment— viz., does the law o f England, which forbids marriage withadeceased wife’s sister void such a marriage, when contracted between British subjects in Holstein, or any country to which the parties have repaired, with the intention of returning home, i f the law o f that country recognises the validity o f such unions.
— The Morning Post, Lord Palmerston’s organ, has this week published an article against the Irish Clergy, | and specially against “ Drs. M ’Hale, Cantwell, “ and Cullen,” which, for genuine literary ruffianism , surpasses anything that has appeared in the London | press since the days when “ surpliccd ruffians” and 1 “ hooded assassins” were the ordinary epithets o f the Times for the Clergy o f the Irish people. I f this disgraceful and outrageous effusion had come from the vapid organ o f the licensed victuallers, it might be passed by with contempt, but appearing in a journal which has for several years past been closely connected with leading members o f the Government, and absolutely devoted to Lord Palmerston himself, it must be looked on as a too significant sign o f the times. As such let it be read by the Irish Clergy and people, and let it kindle the saving fire o f an honest indignation throughout the length and breadth o f Ireland. The Post believes that the Irish Priest, “ though every
turned against us,” and one o f the despatches makes the mysterious statement that " i t is supposed most of the FargeTallookdars have also” — there is nothing from Rajpootana, Central India, Bundelcund, Hyderabad. or Nagpore, and all is quiet in Scinde, Bombay, Madras, and the Nizam’s dominions. Such is the intelligence as it has reached us. It may be that, as heretofore, the arrival of fuller particulars may awaken new anxieties on particular points, but these despatches tell their own story, and may safely be left to make their own impression on all who have persuaded either themselves or others that the last hour of European dominion in India had sounded, that everything was going on as well as possible with the Sepoys and as ill as possible with the Bntish, that all statements to the contrary were mere fictions, and that, when the truth was known it would appear that the Blacks were everywhere victorious, and the Whites everywhere humbled beaten, and dismayed. * *
The result o f the Piedmontese elections is thus given by the correspondent o f the Daily News .—
Nobody denies the advantage gained by the Right; and certainly, i f that party remains united, though they may not be able to carry their measures, they “ will always have it in their power to obstruct and “ defeat those o f the Ministry.” “ E verywhere the “ P arish P riests were seen to come up a t the head
OF TH E RUSTIC ELECTORS, B Y WHOM T H E Y WERE i m p l i c i t l y FO LLOW ED .” Great words! We should like to print them in gold instead o f in small caps. We lately translated for our readers the Pastoral of the Piedmontese Bishops, and we pointed out what could be denied by none, that, judging by analogy,: the instructions therein contained were even morel applicable to the Catholic electors o f Ireland than t o 1 the Catholic electors o f Piedmont. W e do not know th e exact strength o f the Catholic party in the new Chamber. It is understated by the Daily News, which, however, admits that there is a change in the composition o f the new Chamber “ to the ex“ tent o f little less than half.” It is a great victory, and it has been nobly won. It is quite impossible to over-estimate its value. Whatever use we may hereafter be enabled to make o f it, it is in Belgium that we hope to see its first workings. The Catholic party in Belgium require encouragement, for their only danger is in their own despondency. That feeling, however, has, we trust, already given place to a firm and manly resolution to repair past errors, and to profit by recent warnings. They have to deal with enemies with whom compromise is quite impossible, and whom each concession only stimu
lates to fresh assaults. The Revolutionary party were in a minority. The fact and the law, the constitution and the population, were against them. They had recourse to mob violence and to streetrioting, and the want o f firmness on the part o f the Catholics gave them a temporary victory. The first thing to be done is, to expel them from their badly-earned places by lawful and constitutional means, and, i f they again appeal to physical force and violence, to treat them to such a measure o f their own specific as will for ever disgust them with it. “ In Belgium, too,” the Whig papers dolefully complain, “ the pulpits are being used for electioneering “ purposes.” Undoubtedly, and that they may be used with triumphant effect is what we most devoutly hope.
— The Denisoman controversy is once more revived. It has now reached the Privy Council, and unless that tribunal upholds the judgment of the inferior court, which, on a point o f form, got rid of the question, we shall have a decision on the great thing is changing around him, and above him, and below him, i f there can beanything below this creature (such is the language this ruffian dares to use) has not changed since 1828 or ’ 29, the days o f the great struggle for Catholic Emancipation. We hope in God it will be found so, and we trust that our insolent revilers will find it so to their cost and grief ere long.
— A meeting o f the Tenant League Council and he Irish independent members is called for next
‘ "esday in Dublin, and is intended, we believe, as preparatory to a more general assemblage o f the friends o f tenant right throughout the country, which is to be held previous to the ordinary session o f Parliament. Recent occurrences prove that the urgent need fo ra just settlement o f the land question has not abated in Ireland, while in England a similar need is only just beginning to be forcibly expressed. There never was a better or fairer occasion than the present for forcing the wants and grievances o f the Irish tenantry on the attention of an unwilling legislature. I f the Irish people and their leaders showed themselves worthy o f the occasion, there is hardly anything they would now fail o f obtaining or extorting from the British Parliament. Tenant right, that is, protection and legal security for the industry and the property o f the people, religious equality, the abolition o f that monstrous outrage and incubus, the Established Church, and other measures o f justice to Ireland, could now be secured by a great national and unanimous effort, such as carried Catholic Emancipation thirty years ago. Without such an effort nothing that is worth having, or worth accepting, can be obtained.
- The foreign news of the week has not been plentiful. The greatest scandal has been the acceptance o f the post o f Procureur-General by the veteran Dupin, at the age o f seventy-five. M. Dupin resigned in disgust on the confiscation o f the Orleans! property, but seems now to have considered that he had done enough to vindicate a principle and mark his disapprobation o f the Emperor’s act. The fact is, that for any moral weight belonging to his disapproval he might just as well have kept his place throughout.

C h in a .— It is reported by the Hongkong mail that several Missionaries have been condemned to death.
H am bu rg , F r id a y E veninc.— A t an extraordinary meeting of the C iv ic Council held to-day it was unanimously agreed to accept the proposition of the Senate to create exchequer bills to the amount of fifteen million marks banco, to be lent on the security o f imperishable merchandise, stale bonds, or railway shares.
G eneral N ews. The extra mail, China to Suez, brought by the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Norma, reached London late last evening ; the mail left China on the 6th of Oct. ; it is possible that the mails by the Vect.s may reached London at three this afternoon. The Australian mails, by Simla, may be expected on December 6th. 1 he Post says “ The Chaplain of the embassy at Naples has been allowed to visit the English prisoners. He found them, with the captain o t " the steamer, confined in an airy room. T h e men Had no complaints to make, and said they were sufficiently supplied with money by the agent o f the steam-packet company in whose employment they are for the future T h e British vice-consul will be allowed access to them. He has engaged counsel in their behalf, and it is hoped that legal forms cannot much longer delay their trial and liberation.” The Daily News stater, that no time will be lost in again bringing the question of the admission of Jews into parliament under the consideration o f the legislature, Lord John Russell having undertaken, with the entire concurrenceof Lord Palmerston, at once to lay a bill before the House of Commons. Last prices of consols 91J \ tor money, and 90I J ex div. for January market, closing with very firm appearance. India Stock was in increased demand owing to the announcement at the government henceforth to be exclusively in the hands ot the crown ; the quotation was 116 to 119. (FromTimes City A rticle): Itisstatedthatthegovernment will not bring forward any financial measures till February all questions regarding funding of Exchequer Bills on a loan in any shape are, therefore, for the present set at rest. In the Stock Exchange money is abundantly offered at five per cent. A t the bank there were less demands than on Thursday, although the applications continue heavy. In tne discount market the tendency to a restoration of confidence, which was checked by the failures o f the Northumberland and Durham District, is again manifesting itself, and the absence o f further suspensions in London, coupled with the hope o f a resumption on the part of one or two of the houses that have lately stopped, is exercising a favourable influence.” The Times Newcastle correspondent reports on Friday evening that various meetings have been held to-day between the directors and the first shareholders ; no official announcement of the result has . . . . . . . o , ..xj u ii iv iA i a u i i u u u c c i u c n r o r c u e r e s u l t n a s been published, but it is known about one-third o f the shareholders have signed a consent to a subscription ot five pounds per share, with the view o f establishing a new bank for discounting bond fide bills only, and allowing no overdrawing accounts. T h e influx o f gold at the Bank of England steadily continues, and a further total ot thirty thousand pounds, consisting chiefly of Turkish, Italian, French, and Russian coin, was taken there on Friday. Sovereigns from Scotland and elsewhere also come in giatuitously. Hamburg letters mention the failure of Levinhertz Sohne, a very old and respectable mercantile firm. T h e prospectus o f the Indus Steamer Flotilla Company is issued, capital 250,000/., with guarantee o f five per cent from East India Company. T h e advices from New Vork on Friday were very satisfactory. In Paris on Friday funds closed 67 20 money, 67 10 account. T h e India, from China, brings 4,800 bales of silk and 340,000 lbs. of tea. The Daily News City Article gives a very favourable report of business generally o f Friday. The resumption o f payment, by several of the large London firms in the Swedish trade, must depend on advices received from Sweden, now shortly expected. T h e Daily News objects to the abolition of the East India Company. 1,000 sick and wounded are expected at Chatham from India.
