' .The ' Indian Revolt. Ititrtheh News F...
to this plan is the fact that it involves a hot-weather campaign , which will waste the Europeans like snow . " With Oude quiet , and a concentrated force ot l ^ , uuu Europeans , the resettlement of Hindostan , though a uiost difficult , cannot be a very dangerous task . The principal difficulties are those which have distressed us from the beginning—the enormous extent of our territories and . the numerical strength of the enemy . Colonel Bowcroft , for instance , says a letter before me , is iu great danger . The mutineers from Fyzabad are threatening him on all sides , and he is crying lustily for . ammunition . I question if he is in any extreme danger . He has beaten these men twice , and neither Europeans nor Ghoorkas are absolutely dependent on their guns . The Calpee rebels again are threatening Cawnpore , and two regiments ( skeletons ) , the 32 nd being one , were on the 19 th [ of March ] ordered back to strengthen the garrison . They will hardly , however , venture on an . attack , and , now that the Chief ' s attention is released , -will find themselves surrounded . Large gangs of marauders incessantly cross the river into the Delhi division , plunder a village or two , and retire , the stream being fordable in a hundred places . . _ " llewah is once more reported restless , and in JJUndelcund , though Sir Hugh Rose is incessantly reported as capturing forts and beating the enemy , he is not yet to toacitooue
at " Jhansi . It is a bad tract , disattecteu ue , as all the districts are in which the hereditary aristocracy have retained their power . If there is one point settled by the mutineers it is that we have uader-estiuiated the affection borne to this class by the peasantry . It seems to Englishmen almost incomprehensible tliat men should like to be oppressed , and that these men are oppressors it needs no evidence at this time of day to The Friend of India , writing before the escape of tlie rebels from iLueknow was known , says : — " Terrible work remains to be accomplished . Oude , Itohilcund , and Bundelcund have to be cleared of great . gangs of armed and half-disciplined marauders . The Doab , and in fact the entire North-West , has to be yermanently tranquillized . Affairs in Central India -will require attention , and there is a debt which needs payment in Bombay . "

Ireland. The Case Of John Btkse.—We Ment...
IRELAND . The Case of John Btkse . —We mentioned last week the case of John Byrne , a tenant of Mr . A . G . Lewis , Inniskeen , who , it . was alleged , was turned out of bis house because , being a Roman Catholic , he would not send his children to a Protestant school , at the direction of Mr . Lewis . That gentleman now writes to tlie papers to say that there is no truth in the story , and that the man received notice to quit because of a contemptuous speech whicli he made at a public meeting , where he said that Mr . Lewis nviglit take up his holding at a quarter of an hour's notice , as ho would retuscu to scuooi
not hold under him wnilc he puc me under the National Board . The Guea . t Annual Cattltc Snow . —The yearly cattle show of the Koyal Irish Agricultural Society cume off on Wednesday with considerable success , and ^ vas followed in tho evening by the usual meeting . Lord Eglingtoun was present , and delivered n speech , in the course of which he touched upon several topics of general interest , preluding his address with a . tribute to the merits of his predecessors in the office of Yiccory .

After the acquittal on the charge which entailed capital punishment , what would a few months' imprisonment , or a line of a few hundred francs , signify ? To convict a man of a misdemeanour who had been jUM ^ uittcd of a i ' elony would have Ihh'ii a mockery . " An instnni' 0 of the strong feeling win till exists in France against the principle of Free-trade is mentioned by the Tiinvit l ' aris correspondent , who . say . s : — '' A petition - \ v : is presented to the ldiupcror on tlie 2 !

The report is said to have heen prepared-by M . Devhick , a member of the Chamber of-Commerce ! , and oaie of the deputies for the city of Paris . " A debate on the Budget took place in the Legislative Chamber on Monday , when M . Darimon , one of the Opposition members , read his maiden speech . He made some cutting observations on the financial statement ; and a little more animation than is usually to be observed within those walls characterized the sitting . On the following , M . St .

! t ? uiivu t ¦* * t ^ — «*^ The Moniteur publishes the following paragraph in its non-official column : — - ' There are certain persons who , in order to maintain uneasiness in the publie mind , dailv invent false news . Tims the Parisian correspondence of the Imh-peiulance Bebje pretends that great ma- . ritinie armaments are being made in France . This is completely untrue . There has been no change made in the budget prepared for the years 1658 and 1859 . " ^ i The Jlonitettr publishes the report of the commission : appointed to examine the budget for the year 1859 , in . ¦ which it is stated that the navy budget for tliat year : amounts to l-iO , o 48 , 538 f ., and that for the year 1853 to ' , 112 , 155 , 2491 " ., being an increase in the navy budget of ' the year 1 S 59 of 2 s , 393 , 280 f . " It . may not be irrele-1 vant to-remark , " savs the Times conespondeixt , " that the increased navy budget of i « 59 ' was prepared during | a period of profound peace , and that in the year 1853 | - " \ ve were on the eve of a war , which was not concluded
sei-vative measures to stay this state of things . The sole cause of it was the easy admission of foreign iron . The decree of 17 th October , 1855 , suggested , no doubt , by an eminently benevolent feeling , had given rise to deplorable abuses . The result was an over-stock of -wrought and cast iron of all kinds , and the crisis that prevailed in England had rendered the over-stoclc more disastrous by the sudden fall in her productions—a fall which influenced the price of French iron to such an extent that sales had become impossible unless at a ruinous loss . The charcoal ironworks draw their raw materials from the soil of France , without borrowing anything from foreigners' ( how exqui .-itely Chinese !) , ' aad the -workmen they employ are all from the same localityso that if the price of wood increases it is to the profit of the soil ; if the cost of labour , it is the inhabitants who are benefited . It is therefore an industry altogether national . The proprietors of w . oods , the communes , and the State are consequently interested in keeping up charcoal iron-works , for without this support forest property would be greatly depreciated , and a considerable number of workmen " would be obliged" to seek elsewhere for employment . ' The last indirect threat has been partiv executed . One of the most important establishments in the department of . the Landes has been closed , and upwards of four hundred workmen turned i adrift . " ¦ ¦ . - - ¦ ¦ ¦ ..
