And thus we arrive at the very anomalous feature of the Indian Minister of the Crown vainly offering 5f per cent, for money which the Home Finance Minister could immediately obtain at 3 or per cent. The difference, calculated upon the entire amount of the Indian debt, would suffice to extinguish that debt within a comparatively brief series of years.

Fortunately for the Crown it yielded promptly; and the people thereupon settled the matter in the way which every one- now feels was the right one.

Lord Grey is, therefore, as wrong in his statement of facts as he is in the inferences he would have us draw from them. Confusion and evil were averted, not caused, by the proceedings of 1831. But the Opposition turned out to be wrong in point of tactics. Well, then, Lord Grey ought to pray that Reformers should follow the precedent for as he wants no concession to democratic demands, and as he affects to believe that the country wants no Reform, he cannot object to the question being brought to a clear, a distinct, and a speedy issue in the manner which now is proposed. The Queen held a court yesterday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace.

Count de Lavradio, the Portuguese Minister, had thj honour of an audience of the Queen, to present, on behalf of the King of Portugal, the insignia of the Order of the Tower and Sword for the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfrej: The Eight Hon. William E. Gladstone -was presented to1 the Queen at an audience, by the Hon. Sir Edwari'' Bulwer Lytton, Sesre'ary of State for the Colonies. Sir B.

Such, in substance if notinform, are the Austrian concessions which we are permitted to suppose Lord Cowley has obtained by dint of incredible gastronomic, callisthenic, and linguistic labours at Vienna.

The rest is silence." Count Buol has indited another circular to the diplomatic agents of Austria at foreign courts, to recommend to the markets the cargo of pacific assurances with which Lord Cowley (who may be said to have sailed in ballast) returns so deeply laden to the Thames. Were it not that these pacific assurances look uncommonly like an ingenious and elaborate declaration of war, they might have deserved at least a word of mention in the two Houses last night. Perhaps Mr. Disraeli has felt that Count Buol, as a peacemaker, resembles the itinerant dentist, whose method of painless extraction consisted in taking out teeth without hurting himself.

ARMONIUMS NEW MODEL. CRAMER, pose. The amendment was seconded Sir H. Vebney. Sir H.

Willoughby gave some further illustrations showing the necessity of a stricter watch over the public expenditure. Mr. Lindsay thought that the effect of the motion would merely be to transfer all responsibility for the naval expenditure from the government to a committee. Colonel Sykes supported the amendment which was opposed by Admiral Walcott. Sir F.

Baring was anxious to secure an inquiry into the naval estimates, but objected to the proposal for transferring the discussion on that subject from the house to a select committee. After some remarks from Mr, Bentinck, Lord H. Vane, and Lord C. Paget, Sir J. Pakington opposed the amendment, controverting some of the statements on which it was founded.

The Board of Admiralty had themselves instituted a searching inquiry into the expenditure of money in the dockyards, and the results would, he believed, lead to various recommendations calculated to promote the public service, and also to exonerate the Surveyor of the Navy and other dockyard authorities from the charge of maladministration Mr. B. Osborne referred to the allegations brought forward in a recent debate charging waste and extravagance against former Boards of Admiralty. In justice to the inculpated functionaries he insisted that those accusation, whose truth he totally denied, should be thoroughly investigated. Sir C.

Napier, Mr. Jackson, and Sir C. Wood having briefly spoken, the amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. C.

Gilpin called attention to the destruction of the 26th Native Infantry at Ujnalla on the 1st of August, 1857, as detailed in a work entitled The Crisis in the Punjaub," by Frederick Cooper, Deputy Commissioner of Umritzur. The hon. member recapitulated the incidents of the transaction, and denounced the conduot of Mr. Cooper, under whose orders the 26th Regiment, numbering 500 Sepoys, had, he insisted, been cruelly massacred without trial or necessity. General Thompson expressed indignant reprobation of the atrocity in question, and alluded to some other occurrences in which he said British officers had played the disgraceful part of executioners.

Lord Stanley admitted that the event was a painful one, and Mr. Cooper's conduct highly censurable, the affair being rendered worse by the flippant style in which he had himself recounted it. Some features in the transaction, however, which the noble lord detailed, mitigated the culpability of the British functionary. Delhi was not then taken, great alarm and peril prevailed, the Sepoys of the regiment had murdered two of their officers, and if they had escaped would beyond doubt have joined H- BE ALE, and 201, Berjent-itrcot. v.b.uiuu.

Mr. Thomas Winters and Mr.

Edward Humphries, of the-committee of the National Association of United Trades, had an interview at the Home-office yesterday with Mr. Secretary Estcourt inreference to tho Equitable Councils of Conciliation Bill, and Combination of Workmen Bill. The remarkable winter of 1858-9 ought not to pass away unnoticed in regard to its meteorological character, because it happens to have been very interesting in its political disclosures. It may be true of us English that when we have nothing to say we talk of the weather but it ought not to be true that when we have other things to speak of we neglect the weather, whatever it may be. The effects of the late winter will not pass away with its names and dates and it is as well to recognise this probability in good time.

The nightingale was heard in England on the 18th of February. That is a remarkable fact. It has been repeatedly heard since so the declaration may be believed. Over the greater part of the pasturage of the kingdom the grass has not ceased to be green throughout the winter; and the roses and honeysuckles put ont shoots almost as soon as their latest leaves dropped. All the springflowers of our gat-dens welcomed open-eyed the coming in of March.

The elm, Lomhardy poplar, and thorns have burst their buds at the very beginning of the month, while the willow catkins have overhung the streams as in April. Apricots and peaches were in bloom above a week ago and in the frnit-growing counties, where the cherries and pears are blossoming already, the growers are in a state of high tension. A touch of frost between night and morning would cost hundreds of pounds each to hundreds of proprietors of orchards. The sheep-farmers and graziers are happier. The lambing has apparently been very favourable; and the prospects of the grass are as fine aa can be in those parts of the country which have come in for a share of the prodigious rainfall of the winter.

H. Tullr. To conclude with the grand pictorial 1'AN-TOMIME, entitled ROBIN HOOD. The pending discussions on Indian Finance have received some further elucidation from the intelligence brought by the last mail from Bombay. At the date of the latest advices the attention of the moneyed classes in India was almost exclusively occupied with a new Government Financial Notification, the same which within the last few days has been circulated in England by order of the Secretary of State for India in Council.

This document announces the opening of a New Loan in the form of Treasury Bills, bearing nearly 5 per cent, per ancum interest, and repayable at par, at the option of the holders (or, subject to three months' notice, at the option of the Government), after the expiration of one year from the date of issue. It is at the same time officially announced not, as one might have expected, that the Five per Cent. Loan now open will be closed bat merely that, after the 30th of next month, the receipt of Promissory NoteB of the Four per Three-and-a-Half per and Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Loans in part subscription to the Five per Cent. Loan will cease.

The anomalous result is, that the Indian Government have now two loans open together, and are apparently receiving subscriptions for neither. The repeated financial blunders committed by the Government are almost incredible, and are fast undermining their credit amongst the native capitalists. Should not we in England think that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had taken leave of his senses were he to announce a loan of indefinite amount at par (the market price being considerably below par), and to keep it open for years together Yet it is a fact Lord Grey haB at length made a clean breast of it. For some time past he has been diligently engaged in thwarting privately every attempt to re-establish the Liberal Party on its old and acknowledged principles. In the midst of tendencies towards reconciliation and reunion, he has been as a fountain of bitterness and against every proposal, however moderate or wise, calculated to regain popular confidence for the old chiefs of his party, he has unintermittingly entered his protest.

Finding, however, his utmost endeavours attended with little Her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Coneort, with the youthful members of the royal family, will leave Buckingham Palace this morning for Osborne. According to present arrangements, the court will remain' absent from town for a fortnight. The Dean of Westminster has consented to preach next Sonday morning at S. Matthew's Chapel, Spring-' gardens, in aid of the lands of King's College Hospital. 1 DRUKY-LANK.

Let us hope the best but the truth is, the winter has been as dreary in some localities as cheery in others. In Turin, and in some places nearer than Turin, there have been weeks of blue sky and warm sunshine, and balmy afternoons and evenings so that the only complainants have been the ice merchants, confectioners, and fishmongers apprehensive of all the evils of a short crop of ice.

Nevertheless, it would be satisfactory to many simple people to find that the cordial interview8 with the Emperor Francis Joseph, the friendly conversations with Count Buol, the "balls in "honour," the "dinners in celebration of" his Excellency's visit, and that priceless privilege, the diner intime with the venerable Archduchess Sophia, had worked up to a finer climax than a protracted interview" with Lord Maimes-euey on a Sunday, and dead silence in the two Houses on a Monday. We cannot escape an impatient regret at the waste of so much unexceptionable suavitude of deportment and strength of counsel. Fair weather prophets had made up their minds that a great pacific coup was in preparation, that heretofore trafficked in, by shamelessly encouraging the enemies of all Reform to resist all real conces sury will be merely temporary.

The holders may perhaps demand repayment at a very inconvenient time. The entire operation thus wears the appear. paration of a return showing with all possible minuteness of detail the manner in which the money voted on account of the navy had been expended during the last eleven years. Replying to Mr. Williams, Mr.

Tite gave some explanations respecting the course which the Metropolitan Board of Works had adopted for the construction of a system of main drainage in the metropolis. The works had already been commenced, and it was hoped that they would be brought to completion within a period of four years. The money required for the work, amounting to three millions sterling, was to be advanced by the Bank of England at 3J per and it was calculated that a rate of 3d. in the pound would suffice to repay principal and interest in 30 years. The house having gone into committee on the Titles to Landed Estates Bill, a prolonged discussion arose, initiated by Mr.

Malins, respecting the working machinery and legal effect of the new court which it was proposed to establish, and involving also the principles wherein the privilege of a parliamentary title was to be granted to owners of land. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Last night Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews, who during the last two months have been fulfilling a round of provincial engagements, returned to town, and signalised their re-appearance at the Haymarket Theatre by the production of two new pieces.

Both are adaptations from the French: The first, which in its English dress is called Milliner to thi King or tJw Jtoyal Salute, is a very close translation of la Tioomtme Lolotte, and is one of those plays in which th merest thread of intrigue, elaborated and spun out to a paini ful degree, serves as the vehicle for displaying the talents of the principal actors, and simply by their merits receives recognition. Here the gold-beating principle of dramatic literature is carried to its fullest extent, and an imoroglio which might have afforded amusement in a one-act comedietta becomes mournfully wearisome when extended into a three-act play. This trick of expansion has long been a favourite one with dramatic authors, who are apparently happily ignorant thai it is a touchstone of their talent, for where a skilled hand-? Mr. Planche's, for example will by smartness of dialogae and effective situation conceal the baldness of the plot, tb' inartistic translator blunders on with his dictionary rendering, and even neglects the use of one of the principal accessories of his trade the scissors. The piece in question is an exoellent, example of the genus.

The winter airing, as well as pulverising by frost, is lost to the defeat on the second reading, which he hopes to accomplish by giving some reoreant Liberals a sort of excuse for supporting the Bill and, secondly, he wishes to take the occasion to make his peace with the ultra friends of the Church by a penitential Austria had oonsented to waive her secret and special treaties with the "independent States" of Italy, to leave the Holy Father to the affeotions of his flock, and to convert the Lombardo-Venetian xae pouiL umeny controverted related to the aues- w.t.A4.t.A soil in the moister regions, and while everything iauaa vtaiwi.ui uuiwcuu precauuonB were tfiRmi Government into a self-governing Vice-royalty, with secure the rights of possible or future nlnimonta else is perilously forward, the soil cannot be treated till it is comparatively dry. Nor must we overlook the unfavourable tendency of the Indian money markets.

At Bombay, at the date of the last advices, whilst the Government were fruitlessly endeavouring to borrow at the rates above quoted, the terms of the Bank of Bombay were eleven per cent, for loans, for one month only, on government paper, and thirteen per cent, on the security of merchandise, or for discount of short-dated mercantile bills. In the native market the value of money was still higher. This extreme stringency will probably not last long, for its continuance would attract a large amount of silver from this country but, meanwhile, BVUtU IUC Xion.

But all may yet be well, both in dry and wet districts. We have re avowal of his regret at having fourteen years ago voted the revenues of the Irish Establishment excessive. What his immediate objects of personal ambition may be we do not pause to inquire but, whatever they are, it is plain that they must be in connexion with the party of resistance and reaction which his lordship has now fairly joined, and that he has deemed it expedient to make ample confession of the political sins of his youth, and to earn abso. lution by doing all the harm he can to the friends he has failed to betray, and the cause he has long meant to abandon.

The arguments on this question, which assumed an exclusively technical character, were pursued at much length by Mr. Bowyer, Mr. Headlam, Mr. Hadfield, Mr.Walpolei Mr. Deasy, Lord J.

Russell, Sir E. Perry, and many other members. The Soicitor-General explained and defended the measure, to which all opposition was ultimately withdrawn, and several clauses passed by Vienna version of "All's Well that Ends WeE" between the Charles et Qeorges debate and the second reading of the fatal Bill on Monday next.

Meanwhile, we are left to the invention, or the imagination of the correspondents of Belgian and German journals, or to the oracular voices of the unofficial organs of the sources which were never thought of in the days of our fathers, both in meeting the malice of the elements and in compensating for their mischief. The wide spread of skilled drainage in the agricultural districts does away with much of the damage of floods. In one district in the North fifteen inches of rain fell in January alone, whereas the average for the year in Cambridgeshire is seventeen inches.

In former times a fall of fifteen inches in a month would have swamped the region where it fell. Now, owing to even very imperfect improvements, the damage would have been reparable, if February had not repeated the iafliction. In most places, doubtless, drainage has been a great safeguard.
