The questions which were left unsettled by the ; mail are answered by the telegraphic despatches 'ch we give elsewhere. Lucknow is relieved. ,e King of Delhi is a prisoner; his sons have been en and shot. The routed mutineers are not ding their ground six miles from Delhi, but are "g from the pursuing columns o f the British Ops. The death o f Generals Nicholson and ill, the loss o f sixty officers, and o f 1,200 men, one-third o f the storming party in the great ault on Delhi, and of 500 in the attack on cknow, show what work our men have had to do, 1 in what spirit they have done it. "be brief message of the telegraph has told us 'bat the public as yet care to know in the one allbeing fact that Lucknow is relieved. In compa3n with that all the rest seems for the moment to ;°me indifferent. On the 25th of September ''era! Havelock rescued the beleaguered garrison 1 the devoted crowd o f women and children whose stence hung by a thread. A more extraordinary 's°de in the history o f any war than this siege a re lie f o f Lucknow is not known. From" the st o f May to the 25th o f September, for •j long months, the garrison held out in the 'dency at one extremity o f the city, surg e d by overwhelming forces thirsting for their "?d- So many attempts at rescue failed only that dhe last moment the last attempt should succeed. Ven in a romance the incident would be condemned as too dramatic, that after holding out for months in the vain hope o f relief, the rescue should at length arrive at the very time when the enemy’s mines were completed, and when the garrison was on the point of being blown into the air. — We are glad to be enabled to state that the East India Company has determined to allow Priests in the field to receive, in addition to the 150 rupees per mensem already allowed, a further sum o f five rupees per diem for “ the extra expenses o f living and “ moving.” — The Catholic or Conservative, and the Liberal or Revolutionary parties in the canton o f St. Gall are so evenly divided that at the recent elections the latter polled 19,000 votes against 17,000 of the former. The education question is, o f course, one great element in the strife. In 1805, after the dissolution of the great Abbey o f St. Gall, the foundation and endowment of a place of education for the Catholic inhabitants, with an Ecclesiastical seminary, was decreed. It was to contain a town school, a grammar school, and a college. In 1835 a normal school for Catholic teachers was added, though the college never was established for want of money. But in 1855, by convention with the Protestant population o f the canton and the Protestant townsmen of St. Gall,-a place of common education in the higher branches was erected, and the Catholic grammar school, and normal school, and school o f industry, were merged in the common cantonal establishment for both religions. T o this the Catholics pay their proportion of 33,000 francs per annum. There remained for-the Catholics to found a cantonal classical school for themselves. The Catholic College o f the Grand Council_i.c. the Catholic division of the General Grand Council of the canton— has made provisions for this Catholic classical school which have been disallowed by the Select Council o f the canton as interfering with the other places of mixed education, and great excitement has resulted. So far our Protestant informant; and the whole transaction is highly instructive. Catholic property is first confiscated, and a part of it allowed to them for their educational purposes. Worse than confiscation happens next, for their educational establishments are converted into mixed schools, where the faith and morals o f their children are endangered. The third step is, that when they try to guard themselves by erecting a separate school, while they still have to pay for the mixed schools, they are met by a prohibition. — The slight relaxation proposed by the King in the odious persecution laws o f Protestant Sweden have been rejected, as we have already announced. The knights and nobles rejected it by 137 votes to 78. The Clergy rose en masse against it, and rejected it without a division. The peasants rejected it by 79 votes to 21. The burgesses alone, by 34 votes to 11, pronounced in its favour. The Chancellor, M. de Kock, reminded the assembly that the fate of seven Swedish women depended on their vote. They had •already been found guilty of having quitted the communion o f the Orthodox Church, and i f the law was not modified would be sentenced to transportation. What effect his speech produced the division shows. — Persecution rages in Cochin China. Churches are razed, schools closed, Missionaries banished or imprisoned. The Vicar-Apostolic of Tonquin, Mgr. Diaz, a Spanish Bishop, has been arrested. He was thrown into prison, and chained by the neck in the town o f Nam Ting, by the coast. Though condemned to death, the venerable Prelate was still alive, when the Spanish consul at Macao, having informed the French admiral, M. Regault deGenouilly, of the fact, that officer, on the 4th November, 1856, despatched the Catinat, a French vessel of war, with a small steamer, up the Gulf o f Tonquin, to endeavour to obtain the Bishop’s liberation, and to afford protection to the persecuted Christians. — Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald has smarted so severely under the imputation cast on him by Lord Claude Hamilton, that he was not fit to be trusted with the prosecution of a Priest, that he has determined to surround the trials of Father Conway and Father Ryan with unwonted adjuncts, and to rivet attention on them by a revival o f the antique device of an exofficio proceeding. Thirty-six counts, as the papers tell us, reveal to Father Conway what the Catholic Attorney-General for Ireland intends to urge against him. We congratulate Father Conway with all possible sincerity upon this unexpected piece of good fortune. We had fallen into our usual error— we had not formed a sufficient estimate of the folly of the Minister, or the baseness o f his instrument. We had almost resigned ourself to the belief that the prosej cution would be cushioned. It seems, however, that all is going on as well as possible, that the Higginses and Fitzgeralds are doomed to drink their cup to the dregs, and that Priest-hunting by the Whig Ministry with a pack o f Catholic hounds is to break the monotony o f the winter season. — We alluded last week to apprehensions o f a revival o f agrarian murder and Ribbonism in Ireland, as one consequence of the cessation of peaceful and constitutional efforts to obtain justice for the cultivator o f the soil. It is with the deepest pain we have since learned the particulars of the brutal outrage, which has just cast a stain upon the noble county of Meath, and ended in the death o f an inoffensive man. Our readers will be shocked and grieved to hear that a respectable Catholic farmer, returning home from Mass on Sunday, with his aged mother and his sister, was set upon at noonday on the public road, almost within sight o f the Catholic church, by six ruffianly miscreants, who beat him to such a degree that he has since died from the injuries he received. It will add to the feeling o f horror entertained against the crime to learn that poor Connell, the victim o f this ferocious attack, fell into the power of his assassins by having remained in the chapel a little after the rest o f the congregation waiting for his sister, who had been that day at Holy Communion, and remained in prayer as is usual. We cannot conceive any circumstance better calculated to rouse the feelings o f the people against the perpetrators of such atrocious acts than the simple publication of this fact, which we have heard from the lips o f a zealous Priest o f the neighbourhood, whose grief and indignation at the perpetration o f such a crime in Catholic Meath justly knows no bounds. Had Connell not been detained in consequence o f his sister’s performance of a most holy act o f religious duty, and had he gone away with the rest o f the congregation, he would, in all human probability, have escaped from his assassins. We think this simple fact will bring the horror o f the crime home to the hearts of our readers more nearly than anything we could possibly urge. We trust it will have its due effect in helping to make the villanous Ribbon system odious and detestable in the eyes o f all who retain a particle o f Christian faith and feeling. In connexion with Ribbonism and agrarian outrage we may refer to the silly and mischievous efforts now making to sustain the kindred villany of Orangeism. The “ Grand Orange Lodge” has put forward a lengthy manifesto, remarkable equally for profanity, malignity, and stupidity, having for its object to keep alive the Orange animosity, and i f possible to save the mischievous organisation from utter extinction. We are confident the good sense and good feeling of all classes in the community will combine to disappoint the efforts o f these mischief-makers,and to put.down Orange ruffianism as well as Ribbon outrage and terrorism. Every intelligent man must know that, as long as Orangeism exists and flourishes, Ribbonism will likewise exist and flourish. A t the present moment -an opportunity offers to get rid of both these vile confederacies, and we trust that the opportunity will not pass away unused. — In our columns to-day will be found an Irish eviction case to match that o f Lord Stamford’s tenant, Farmer Everard, noticed in our last. The English tenant had expended thousands in improving his farm when he was served with a notice to quit ; the outlay o f the Irish tenant had been much less in amount, but he had improved to the full extent of his means. Everard was the model farmer of his district and county, and had obtained the prizes o f the County Club, and of his own landlord, for the best-improved farm in the county and on the estates. The Irish tenants get neither prizes nor compensation for their improvements; but Manning, the Irish victim, was described by his landlord’s agent and bailiff (the worthy in whose favour he is to be evicted) as an industrious and improving tenant. He even offered in court to pay the increased rent at which the bailiff was to get the farm which had been in the possession o f his family for generations. Well might the judge exclaim— “ My God, why is he to be “ turned out o f his land if he owes no rent, and is an improving tenant ?” I f these two cases do not rouse the tenant classes to a sense o f their duty, we see no possible means of obtaining for them legislative redress and security. — The gathering gloom in the commercial world will be in a great degree dispelled by the Government letter to the Bank o f England, which, while it stops any further advance in the rate of discount, also provides against any undue limitation o f commercial credit. We are o f opinion that the step was not taken a single day too soon, and we trust it will be found fully efficacious. We were apparently on the eve of a commercial crisis, which would not be the less disastrous because the mere result o f foolish panic. There were no rational grounds whatever for apprehension. The trade and commerce of the country never were in a better or sounder state, though the American difficulties may create a necessity for retrenchment in our manufacturing districts.________ ^ccono Coition.

G eneral N ews.— T h e Bombay mails by the overland route, ‘via Marseilles, will be delivered this morning. T he Calcutta portion will not arrive at the Post Office until four in the afternoon. It is to be feared that the Marseilles portion ot the Australian mails is missing, having been put into a despatch-boat off Suez on the occasion of the Emu getting on shore in the Red Sea. Parliament w ill probably meet on the 1st of. 3rd o f December. C ommercial.— (From the Times City A rticle of Friday Evening.)— T h e condition o f the various markets to-day has shown a considerable resumption o f steadiness, although there has been no tendency to great confidence or a revival. W ith the return o f gold from Scotland, which may speedily be expected to commence, and the delivery of the large amounts announced from Australia, there can scarcely iail, however, to be a decided improvement, and an impression is entertained that the Bank Charter A c t , which had Dot been practically overstepped up to last evening, may still, as in 1847, be kept from actual infringement. Last price of consols, 89H money, and 89H account. Exchequer bills experienced a considerable recovery, partly from anticipation that a large funding may be proposed on the assembling of parliament at the beginning ot next month. For a short time in the early part o f the day loans on stock were in demand at ten per cent., but subsequently the trade ranged between eight and ten. T h e North Star, from New Y o rk , reports that business was gradually recovering. No new failures reported, and W inslow , Lanier, and Co., a large banking firm connected with the W est, were to resume December 1st. A t the Bank o f England to-day the applications for discounts, although far beyond the busiest times, were altogether moderate as compared with those of the preceding days. In the open market the best bills were negociable at ten per cent, in the morning, and at a later hour transactions might possibly have been effected at the minimum. T h e drain of gold to Scotland has ceased, but it is believed about one hundred thousand sovereigns were despatched to-day to Ireland. A rumour was strongly circulated to-day from Glasgow that an attempt is in progress to resuscitate the Western Bank o f Scotland ; that a million has been subscribed for the purpose; and that it will probably reopen on Monday. Many persons doubt the statement from the fact that a million seems an inadequate sum for the demands that would have to be encountered. A similar arrangement, it is alleged, is contemplated with regard to the City ot Glasgow Bank. T h e Times has the following list ot failures Drape, Pietroni, and Co., London, prospects favourable; R. Bambridge and Co., London,in American trade, liabilities on this side between thirty and forty thousand ; Fitch and Skeete state that they have a surplus ; Munro, Grant, and Co., timber merchants, Swansea; Steegman and Co., manufacturers, Nottingham. Borough Bank.— T he mode of settling its affairs appears judicious, but the failure of such a concern must carry its lesson, and that lesson tile public ought to improve.

T h e bank accounts for the week ending Wednesday night, November n t h , which are published in to-night’s Gazette, exhibit the causes which led to the suspension of the Bank A c t on Wednesday. T h e amount ot bullion and coin held by the bank was reduced to 7,170,501/., being a decrease o f 1,327.272/. during the seven days subsequently.
