Rphotjsands Of Liearts Will Be Lightened...
rpHOTJSANDS of liearts will be lightened , thou-X sands of faces will be brightened , this Christmas by the telegraphic news from India . Lucknow—on which , our anxiety has so long centred—is finally relieved . Unfortunately ; , the details of the occurrences which brought about this glorious result are imperfect in . the despatches ; but the ' great and joyous
fact being established , we can wait patiently for perfected details . Sir Colin Campbell joined the forces at Alumbagh on the 12 th of November , and on . the 17 th , after a series of severe engagements —six in number—with the enemy , he succeeded in relieving Lucknow . Sir Colin himself was slightly wounded . On the following day the whole of the siclc , wounded , women , and children were escorted to Cawnpore . So ends this glorious defence .
Sir Colin Campbell has now nothing to divert him from the vigorous prosecution of the campaign in Oude , for which he has about twelve thousand men . Brigadier Stuart has been active with the Malwa field force , and has dispersed , the Mehidporc rebels ; and Brigadier Showers , with Colonel Cotton ., is scouring Rohilkund . Troops are steadily pouring into India , and alarm is no longer felt for our outlying stations and garrisons .
Prom Delhi we hear that twenty-four inferior members of the royal family had been executed . The Judporc Legion had been defeated by Gerard , who fell in action . Saugor Lad not been attacked . The Hast India Company lias had notice to quit ; the Chairman and the Deputy-Chairman had an interview with Lord Palmerston on Saturday , and received from him notice that in the present session a bill would bo introduced to place the Indian
territories under the direct Government of the Queen . This announcement , of course , supersedes any of the minor questions which have been raised out of doors . The proposals of the Indian He form Association have been less specific than anything which Lord Palmerston's Cabinet is likely to introduce .
A measure of , the kind will of course have to encounter an extraordinary amount of opposition . The micros ! s at stake nrc of the greatest magnitude , and men arc not likely to relinquish their property without making a struggle . Independently of the money value of the property , there arc certain honours and distinctions attached to the offices and proprietary of the East India Company
winch no money payment could compensate . The proprietors of the East India stock , unlike the proprietors of the Three per Cents ., have a vote , a right of public debate , and a certain nominal control over the government of India and of the East India Company . A very numerous class in this country , which is quite independent of interested feeling , is of opinion that a commercial body ,
emanating from the middle class , both secures a greater amount of talent for the administration of India , and also protects the public against a monopoly of patronage by the upper classes . Such representations , and others , will of course be brought forward to resist the progress of the measure ; and if Lord Palmerston brings in a bill , it is most probable that Her Majesty ' s Opposition will propose to throw it out .
A tremendous report comes from Hanover , that a commission of three English judges , appointed by Lord Clarendon ,, has decided that the long-standing claim of the royal family of Hanover to the major part of the jewels worn on state occasions' by her Majesty Queen Yictoria , must be admitted . It is explained that when George I . came to the throne of this country , he brought with him the royal jewels of Hanover , which were inalienable from that throne ; from his own privy purse he added to the collection , and , upon his death , the whole
descended to his Queen , Charlotte , by whom they were left to be returned to the royal family of Hanover . Why they remained in possession of his successor does not appear ; but it is stated that repeated applications for them have been made . Upon the ascension of the Queen , her uncle , the King of Hanover , made a demand for the delivery of the jewels : but no result was arrived at . On the
death of Eknest , his son , the present King of Hanover , renewed the family claim ; and , according to the Hanover tale , his claim has been admitted . Nothing official has transpired with reference to the matter , and we shrewdly suspect some error ; but there docs appear to be a foundation of fact for the iiction . Queen Victoiua , however , is the last person to wear another man ' s crown , or to bo a beggar to Hanover for her stale head-dress .
From America we have tho message ami rather stirring intelligence from the outposts . President Buchanan surveys the Union and its condition , exposing the commercial excesses , explaining the complications in Kunsas , proclaiming the temporary success of the rebel Bjikjijam Young in defying the llcpublic , and reporting on the foreign relations . No present action is possible in regard to the
commercial crisis . In Kansas the President is changing the Government , making such arrangements as render it probable tliat the State may at last be practically organized ; and for Biugham Young he proposes to prepare four additional regiments . The Turkish Government , has taken advantage of the excitement which has prevailed in all the meetings of the Moldo-Wallachian Diets to address a circular of instructions to its representatives at the
European Courts . It is anxious lest the Divans should lose sight of the limited purposes for which they were brought together , and act as if they considered themselves a constituted body ; ' a state of things which would embarrass the proceedings of the Conferences . Therefore , it instructs its ambassadors to insist upon the necessity for dissolving the Diets the moment the European commission shall have sent in its report—whatever it may be .
Spain gives us a fine illustration of etiquette . Towards the close of last year a bitter quarrel took place between General Narvaez and Sefior Guell y Rente , in the course of which Narvaez grossly insulted the latter at the house and in the presence of a lady , a mutual friend . The circumstance caused some stir at the time , and was noticed by the correspondents of the French and English press . Senor Guell y Rente sent a challenge to Narvaez , who accepted it , and the time , place , and weapons ( small
swords ) , were agreed upon . But Narvaez was appointed President of the Council , which , of course , adjourned the meeting- indefinitely . After waiting for twelve months , and until Narvaez was released from the restraints of office , Scnor Guell y Rente wrote to him , calling upon him to fulfil the terms of the arrangements which had been previously made by their respective seconds . The letter led to nfifcv arrangements being made ; but a dispute has arisen as to the weapons to bo used . Scfior Guell Y Rente in the first instance chose the
sword , which was accepted by Narva nz ; but the Duke ' s seconds now desire to substitute pistols , fearing , it is to be presumed , that their principal ' s age and imperfect eyesight would put him at too great a disadvantage with his antagonist . In this state of the aflair—and possibly seeing no other remedy—Scfior Gi . 'kll y Rhn'IE publishes the documents referred to , in which , notwithstanding' the proved bravery of General Najivaez , he appears to have grciit art vantages over his personal as , . 3 V . C .
