INDIA . Tub Bombay mail has arrived , bringing intelligence to the 4 th August . There ia but little additional news of importance . On the 5 th July Captain Rattray defeated Judder Sing ' s force at Kusma , kilting a great number . Sir Hope Grant left Lucknovr on the 21 st July , with " strong force , to relieve Maun Sing , and occupy Fyzabad , A sma ll body of troop 3 from Allahabad , under Colonel Berkley , which had moved across the Gangesvhad succeeded in capturing several of the enemy's strongholds . A fort near Suraon , occupied by 700 rebels , was carried , and all the garrison put to the sword .
Tho force which the Begum was organising at Boondeo she is unable to retain , the men deserting in large numbers , leaving their arms behind them . It ia confidently stated that the miscreant Nana has been convpelled , by extreme straits , to sell his famous ruby of fabulous value to a native banker for 10 , 000 rupees . The Bpmbay Times says : — " The for gery of the Oudo amnesty affords a fair indication of the lengths to which the party opposed to Lord Canning in this country is
prepared to carry its hostility . The pseudo-proclamation appeared first in the columns of tho Bombay Gazette , and was so perfect an imitation of Lord Canning ' s former manifesto , that hia friends and enemies alike supposed it 1 genuine . " Sun-strokehas been terribly destructive to bur men and officers . It ia calculated by the Friend of India that 40 , 000 Europeans have already fallen victims to the Indian war ; but we trust this is an exaggeration . 1 It is caloulatcd that Lord Clyde will be able to commence the cold weather campaign with 40 , 000 European and 30 , 000 Sikh troops in Bengal alone .

m There is nothing so . revolutionary , because there is nothing so unnatural and convulsive , as the strain to keep things fixed when all the world is by the very law of its creation in eternal progress . —Dr . Arnold .
Prussian Politics. ¦The Manner'in Which'...
PRUSSIAN POLITICS . ¦ The manner ' in which ' the Queen has been everywhere received iii Germany , but especially in Prussia , naturally tends to reawaken feelings of : sympathy and goodwill towards a country about whose sentiments we have-pot of late given ourselves perhaps as much concern as we once were wont to do . We are no friends to Germanising tendencies and leanings in the conduct of our domestic affairs ; and we should be extremely sorry to see family connexions between the royal houses of Brunswick and Brandenburg become the cause of suspicion among our Prussian neig hbours that the English Court desired to -meddle in matters with , which it has and ought to have nothing to do . But in the choice of national alliances we cannot but be sensible of the many points of coincidence , and the few of repulsion , that exist between us and the people O- Northern Germany . Come of the same vigorous stock , reared amid a world of ideas , associations , and traditions in common , ' , though hitherto far separated on the path of political progress , animated by the same love of free thought ,, free conscience , and free speech , it is only to be regretted that we have not practically known more of one another in days gone by . We pause not here to examine into the various circumstances that have ; contributed
thereto . It is pleasanter to look forward to a different state of things , such as we believe to be at Laud . In view of the sinister eventualities that are supposed by many to pvei'hang t he peace and safety of Europe , it is clear that Prussia , like Sardinia and Sweden , would be our natural ally . And if painful recollections of Prussia ' s isolation and neutrality in the late war still haunt thq minds of many amongst us , let it be remembered that the temporising and ignominious course then comp lained of was undeniably occasioned by the subtle lolly of one whose infirmity of purpose and of intellect is never likely again to cause grief and
humiliation to his people . King Frederick William has for many months been slowly , but steadily , sinking into a state of hopeless imbecility . At intervals there still , aro gleams , of that cultivated and imaginative intelligence from which so much was anticipated tjwenty years ago , but tho intervals grow rarer and more transitory ; the fine perceptions of artistic and natural beauty hi which ho once delighted seem one after another to have been numbed ; and tho appotito for dialectics and diplomacy formerly insatiable appears to bo altogether lost . Tho unhappy monarch is said to be at times apparently quitoconsoious of his physical and mental the active duties of sta
inability to disohargo Jus - tion ; and ho l » ns readily consented to renew tho act delegating his authority for tho spneo of three - ^ Mon-MwHip—lris ^ brot ? herr ^ hoW '« ther ^ n ~ la \ v- "pr * oiu youthful Princess . But to ovory suggestion of a formal regency ho ia obdurately deaf , l'orihc moat part , he seems incnpnblo of undorslauding wliufc is meant ; rind this , which was at first imputed to tho sort of cunning so often characteristic oi insanity , is now ascribed rather to tho general decay oi tlio » intellect , painfully obvious in regard to Jess perplexing subjects . Of rcoovory there is no sign , and tho necessity of tho case will ore long comne tho adoption oi somo public measure which shal
