There has been ,a general decline in the book trade ever since the summer of 1856, about which period commenced that political excitement througlioUt the whole country; which was scarcely ended by, the desiderated election of Mr. EllicnixAx to the Presidency: All through the summer,all through the autumn, all through the Winter. of 1856,, publishers may be said to have rested on their oars, doing very little, and, actually undetermined what to do: This the in every "city whore pub.; Books.

So alisOri?lng is 'tlie one prevail {rig stenjeci. In the absence of hook-writing, it might be expected that American authors would, more, largely thin heretofore, throw themselves into the Magazines:: But with the exception oP ITAIIPER'S, which is attractive by illustrated artickeyand4he Knickerbocker, which exhibits ''So' 'largely' the general ,character of L. G. ' CLARK, its editor, the Magazines have rather declined.- Of late Putnam's, compelled to yield to the pressure'of the times, has been devoured by Emerson's Mdgemine, which, like PHA- . nAou's lean kine' swallowing up the fatted, has destioled it, without bettering itself. The Philadelphia Magazines cannot be said to have improved, and, indeed, are 'gene rally , accepted • as Media for ladies' fa: ' rather than, for any ,distinctive literary character. About this time, accord-, 1 , ing to the public announcement, we have been led to expect the first number Of the magazine upon which PHILLIPS, SAMPSON, & Co., of Boa-, ton, have engaged not only American but also. English authors of repute. With such a strong, array of paid contributors as it announced,' thlsllagrizine ought to' take the lead among. American periodicals. We should have been better pleased had it wholly relied upon the large amount of available and undoubted talent which this country now possesses.

We await the, first'number with considerable ex pectancy.. Two good things, this dulness in the book tfade to effect. Authors, Instead of writing, as horss'a are: made to un, against time, will have ,more time for research, and thought, and concentration. Writing too fast has been one of the literary evils (White years,' caused by `a great ileinand, for popular. books. h'or, though we haiitiimore isewspaPers than i any other country in the world, It also happens that' we read mere books. Two or three years age, there was 'competitdon among publishers as to which, within the Season, should produce the greatest number of books, by popular authors. • That competition Is ended;and au theta' have . lellare;ivhlch ,it Is to lie hoped , they will Izoproye,,,to, think , more, than that they were able to do. •• , • • • Another advantageoralned by the public, Is. the elieck i wbielillitit Vicious , literature, known as the yelleiv.CO'vered," hite received, It en'ems - as much extinct as if it never had been extant.

The inoskreadable articles here, some of . them very good, are those by Virginia P. ToWnsend. Mrs.Blephens' New Monthly, with several illustrations, is very greatly better than 'the number for October was. It has more fresh ness and originality. Callender, Third street, is the agent hero. Harper's Story Books have come, to a close. The thirty-sixth number, completing vol. contains a story of domestic life, called , c Little Paul," being a very truth-like history of a boy, good and intelligent, sulfuring under severe ill ness. We repeat that young people are greatly indebted to Mr. Abbott for this interesting and valuable series—the best of the 'sett, perhaps, ever ,published; especially intended for, chit. dren, but capital reading for grown people, also, as we, who have, perused them every month during the last three years, can person ally testify. They contain over one thousand capital wood-engravings. From our neighbor T. B. PETERSON we have received Harper's Magazine, completing vol. xv. Ho has endorsed it "Price reduced to 15 cents, to suit the times," which is curi ous, Harper's being, at 25 cents, the cheapest magazine in the world, every successive,lssue being a a specimen number." The illustrated articles comprise Partin. of A Winter in the South, with 21 engravings La Reminiscence of Dome, with 10; lir.

The letter press and designs of A Winter, in the South are of equal, i. e. of highest, merit. Nothing to Wear is worth preservation in tho Idaga 2ine, andimars 're-petrlal, from its spirit, wit and truth, though, here ,and there, its rhymes are 'so-so ;—pattera and satin,'ardgo and car go, Flora's and adorers, shorter and caught her, lilac and Shylocle,andier and India, im porters and daughters, thornier and California, are not only bad rhymes, but Cockneyish. There are several good novelettes of merit, 'a capital sketch called the ' Grizzly Bear of California, and, indeed, out of many articles only' two which may advantageously be skipped, namely some common-place stanzas on Our Wives, and a tedious dissertation on the Education of American Women, evident ly written by the heavy contributor.

The Easy Chair is sensible and brilliant by turns, and, though The Editor's Drawer is very full, this month, we do not find a single old acquaint. anee among its many and pleasant anecdotes. Hero are a few, which wo select chiefly' for their brevity: liere we have a letter from Missouri, portraying the astonishment of the writer whoa he asked a lady to'danca : - ' "There was a grand frolic at old Squire horn's, to whirl( all the beauty and chivalry for miles around had been invited. I was among the happy number, and whbn the auspicious day arrived, ar rayed in my long-toiled blue coat and spotless pants, I made my way to the festive scone. Dane lug had. begun when I arrived. Accoutred as I was I plunged i n , and soon wee lost in the thickest of the fight. As' I extricated myself from the mates of the dance, and began to survey the scone, I was suddenly smitten to the heart by the eight of a lovely creature sitting alone, neglected and forgotten.. Her eye was full of life and love, and beauty beamed upon ;her brow so radiantly that I was ready to worship her as a star whose purity; and distance make it fair. But I was drawn un resistingly to her side. I did not wait to be intro duced. With the license of the evening I made' my best bow, and half fearing that so splendid and intellectual a creature would not deign to no copt nip proposal, I yet ventured to say that it would make me very happy if The would give me the honor of dancing the next set with her. In einntly those lustrous eyes shone sweetly on me, and her ruby lips opened to say, ' Yes, Sir-roe, and thank you too; for I've sot and sot hero till I've about tuk root!" . 4 Don't you think,' said a brother lawyer to Judge Greenwood, of Georgia, that Jim Pierson is the greatest liar of a lawyer that you ever saw ?' •" I should be sorry to say that of brother Pier am,'freplied the judp;o ; 'but he is certainly more eCOIJOIIIICIII of the truth than any other lawyer on the circuit!'

' Doctor Ill'Ohosney, of Trenton, NoW Jersey, a man of fine scholarship . and great research, is re-. spoilable for the following remarkable incident in our revolutionary history:. • The success of, Washington at Trenton has been generally considered as the turning-point in the war of our independence. Yet very few are per haps aware upon how slight an event that great and (tallest event wee made to hinge. On the Christmas Eve when Washington and his followers crossed the Delaware, Colonel Kahl, the commander of the Ilessians,'sat in a private room, near Tren ton, engaged with a company of hie °Mears in drinking Wine and playing cards. A Tory, who had discovered the movement of the American troops, Bent a note, by a speoial messenger, to the Colonel, with orders to deliver it into Lie own bender The messenger found his way to the house, and a negro opened the door, but refused him ad mittance; took the letter and delivered it at once to the Colonel, who was just shuttling for a now game. Supposing the letter to be unimportant, or not stopping to think of it at all, he wont on with his play. The reading of the letter would have thwarted Washington's designs; but the love of play conquered the Colonel's prudence, and gave success to a worthier cause, involving the loss of hii life 'and army, and ultimately the freedom of the colonies. Little did the Colonel think, when shuffling the cards, that he was losing the greatest gamo that was over played among the nations of the world. "The principal avenue of our city," writes a learned friend in Detroit, " hes a toll-gate just by the Elmwood Cemetery road. Ae the cemetery had been laid out some time previous to the eon otruetion of the plank-road, it was made one of the conditions of the company's charter that all fune ral processions' should go back and forth free. One day, 'as Dr. Price, 'a celebrated physician, stopped to pay his toll, ho remarked to the gate keeper: " 0 Considering the benevolent character of our profession, I think you ought to lot ps pass free of charge.' No, no, doctor,' the keeper readily replied, we couldn't afford that. You send too many' dead heads through hero es it is.' "The doctor paid his toll, and never asked any favors after that." • THE CALAMITY AT CHICAGO [Prom the Chicago Press of Wednesday.) Men were there, and women bud children. The millionaires rode by in their carriages, and paused to give their families a glance at the late seance of so much of horror. Families were there on foot, wives with their husbands, fathom with their children, to take a view of a memorable locality to say "teas bore,' and watch with pale faces, per chance, as some ghastly corpse, blackened and shapeless, was borne by, on the way to the 'cham ber of the dead, the Grand Jury room of the court boom.

The seriousness of phi: losophy, thus intensified by a pervading' human grief, brings no within the range of Sympathy with his reflective musings.. A life of calm 01.-. losophy, smooth and unruffled, excites but fAnt appreciation in the oven toner of its way; but triton agitated by the storms of earthly trial, and the wrecks of earthly disappointrottpt; then, in the poignancy of its anguish and f6e soundless depths of lie emotion, do we find some measure of the exalted happiness of which it was susceptible. Hamlet's experiences give a direction tti his thoughts, that places them within the scope of universal sympathy; but, at the same tittle, tho profound convulsions of his nature open up glimpses of its unfathomod capacity, that show us what ho might have boon, but for the untimek e y trials of his youth. Whilo groaning under the hoary burden of his sorrow, and agonised by vogue auspioiona of hio, nettle's oriole, Hamlet receives the reveletion'of the truth, and the harrowing summons to revenge hie father'', "foul and meet unnatural murder ," which properly inaugurates the Ration, of the play., From this moment his minds an arena for the tumultuous conflict of the doubts that Lion him ur, the ghost's sincerity, and the instinetive die tales 4t hia refined morality; with thu influenee of the ►p? perneturat visitation, whieh he finds it impossible to escape.

Rita- kniusd to. a thorough conviction of the'ppuitit,l44-4 ,tent of his wretchedness, ho quails, before the prespoot of setting the seal of his own volition to its increase and perpetuation. The contention of his feelings, therefore, added to the violence of his grief, results in an eccentric restlessness of pus pale, that, driving him to and fro upon an inef fectual course, threatens at times to overturn the majesty of reason. The opposition between Hamlet's mental organi= tatted and the necessities of his fate is the inneiont enuse of all the contradictions of Ma veering and unsettled solicit), and'when examined by the light of his constitutional tendencies, those contradie. (ions will come at length to be regarded as the strongest evidences of harmonious consistency. Paradoxical as this may seem, oar instinctive sympathies give it the surest confirmation. No. where does he violate that sense of fitness, which, often without an assignable reason for its decisions, is, for the most pact, unerring in its accuracy of perception. But, more than this, we believe it demonstrable that his wildest eccentricities are the appropriate manifestations of his characteristic' Individuality. Some critics regard rho indecision of Hamlet as the invariable result of the thought fulness of his nature, not peculiar to this special phase of his experience, but always disqualifying hint for native effort ; but such a theory consorts tho grandest elements of his strength into unmeaning puerility. A philosophy that absolutely unfits us for the discharge of active duties is emphatically a badge of inefficiency and weakness, and degrades its followers below the ordinary level of human cm . putty. Not such, surely, is the tendency of Ham let's profound speculations. The harassing exi gencies of his daily life aro illy, adapted' to satisfy tho cravings of his intellootual necessities. From the unusual excellence of his powers, he rises above the ordinary interests era worldly exist oohs; but everywherh, we are made to feel his supremacy over his fellows, not merely as sprier's, their superior in rank and influence, ludas a man, their Impactor in thought and action. The crafty king is forood to the disclosure of his mystery; the politic Polonius in turned into a by-word and a jo 3t ;, and the young courtiers, Rosenorante and thildenstorn, are bellied and confounded by the directness of his dimernment, and tho bitterness of his earoasm. They aro all dwarfed in tho comparison, and in the very talents, on which they rot their claims to eminence, surrender at discretion. Reeding their in most thoughts and purposes, be treats them as the veriest playthings of his wit, and Invariably, with the most consummate skill, ho meets them on their, own accustomed .ground, and is victori ous. Not the want of practical ability unfits hint for the common pursuits of human nature, but rather the absence of desire to' exert the ability that be possesses. In the exquisite language of Ophelist, he is " the courtier's soldier's scholar's eye, Lougee, sword—the expectancy and rose of the fair state," able to satisfy the Mick ideal of a man and of a sovereign. Bat from the extended, sweep of, Ms observation, and the immense pre., ponderanee of his retteotive' and imagleattve fa culties, the goals, for whose attainment the tan thinking herd are satisfied to strive, offer to him no possible inducement for exertion. Ha lea men net above human sympathies, but above human tenth :ions . He recognises humanity in its loftiest relations, and we are well assured that the desire of his inmost soul is for the unbroken quiet of a philosophic, life, casting abroad its divine seeds of speoulation, and reaping its rich harvests in the field of knowledge. Hamlet's Is, without dispute, in the fullest sense, a groat mind; sublime in the reach of its comprehensive reasonings; profound in the depth of its delicate affections. Reason anti Emotion ilaye harmoniously co-operated in its guidanc e and direction; anti the current of his life, till the in °option of the play, has been placid and undis turbed. With the appearance of the ghost, how ever, these controlling eleuients are miraculously divided and opposed. For the first time, their dictates are Irreconcilable, and the current of his life, thenceforward, becomes stormy and chaotic. Identifying themselves with his holiest human ties; typifying and confirming his grief and his suspicions; and wielding the mysterious influence of a supernatural authority, his father's ghostly revelations and commands become the predominant Influences of his thought. From the table tibia memory they wiPe away all trivial fond records, all saws of boots, all forms and pressures past," and "live within the book and volume of his brain, unmixed with baser matter." With the pathetic adieu of the tnajostie spirit still vi brating upon his startled sense, he consecrates his life to the remembrance and recognising, In that awful moment. the inevitable isolation of his fat e from human sympathy, ho roneunese at ones even the tender associations that had enshrined the fair Opholia in his love When, however, the opportunity for action presents itself, he is found unequal to the fulfilment of the' dread command, his indecision Adios from no constitutional hesitat:7, for ilatultd is often liable to hasty Impulses, and falls a victim some- Aimee to the mist intemperate rashness, but the moral magnitude of the issue and the tempestuous struggle of opposing motives Molts In lip uoecoue• Anted fitfulness of purpose. Hamlet shrinks from the contemplation of what ho Is 00880034 prompted to attempt, and aceotnplishos it finally, in .the excitement of an overwhelming impulse, which, for the instant, concentrates his energies, but which is utterly inconsequential upon any pre conceived design. To a weak mind the killing of Use king had been an easy matter, but from the very strength of Hamlet's nature spring hie hydra-headed doubts. Well may wo wonder at the stupendous powers of that. reason which could withstand the overwhelming force of even a super natural assault, and maintain its integrity Ulric!. tato, though at the costly sacrifice of its tran quillity. The position of hamlet in the play Is in portent keeping with the peculiar character of his expe rience. While centring in himself the prevailing interest of the plat, ho exorcises little or no direct influence upon its movement. The passive victim, rather than the active originator of its events, he is caught up in their whirling progression, and hurried unresistingly to their tragic catastrophe. With the exception of the play, tho killing of Po- MMus and the closing scone, covering with its pall of death this sublime rooord of human suffering, there is little of more action on the part of Hamlet to disturb our sympathy with the development of his grief, and the agitation of his mental conflicts. The histrionist, there- I fere, finds his chief difficulty in the paramount necessity of identification with the earnestness of I the part. Unless lie strongly conceives the nature of Its contending emotions, and individualises Hamlet, through the manifestation of their inter nal workings, he has no machinery of incidents to fall backupon, and fails to invest his performance with a sustaining interest.: Ills sympathy must not rest in the " modes and shows of grief," but must roach on to' " that within which passoth show," to convey an adequate idea of which, no 1 Mock-solemnity, however hallowed in the antiquf tios of the stage, can possibly AltrlOD. We are well aware that histrionic emotion is not and should not be real ; but, like all ar. I tistic imitations, whatever the laws of their particular development, it is based on profound sympathy with nature, end a careful investiga lion of her principles and phenomena. The actor must analyse in his closet what the synthesis of his art presents to the spectator's view, in the into. gral unity of its effect, and though not precisely experiencing the agonies which he represents, his mind must nevertheless be equal to their compre hension, and susceptible of their impressions. He therefore, who undertakes the character of Ilom• lot, assumes a task of vast responsibilities; the more so, as the plot has little intrinsic merit, inde pendent of its egoist upon Hamlet, to bolster up the insufficiency of the delineation. Depending for its Interest almost exclusively upon the gradual unfolding of Hamlet's inner life, the ability to render the part successfully, implies an ability to measure the length and breadth of that life's ex periences; a sympathy to embrace them in its comprehensive mime, and a creative energy to re produce them in their living force and truthful ness. In confessing, thou, tho instruction and deligh hat we have derived from Mr. Davenport's rendi lion of the character, we aro sensible of the ox alted estimate we aro making of his powers Though not fully satisfying the requirements o OW part, we fool justified in pronouncing it one a the grandest personations of the medal% stage, and ono of the few, among such peroonations, that will justify and repay the studious attention of the srholar as well as of the artist. It is doubtless Mr. Dr's finest professional effort, and we regret that it- is .not to he repeated.' Especially ealen tided to summon into cresols° his peculiar abili. ties, and at the same time to demonstrate their extraordinary quality and value, its repetition is due to the public, that its distinguishing excel. Wades may be more deeply impressed upon the minds of our theatrioal audiences. It is not a part necessitating violent outbursts of physical paision, in which Mr. D. is, perhaps, inferior to softie of his contemporaries; but It involves a &lieu) , of refinement and an Intensity of feeling Which, while they divest his impassioned utterance of that coarseness, relying for its expression upon more physical strength, greatly inoresso its es. mica' force and suggestiveness. In his realize. lion of that refinement and intensity, and in hie discriminating interpretation of the conflicting uto l fives which, apparently destroying the consistency of Hamlet's notion, actually demonstrates the in. trtgiteg - a .bil_aharsaior.. Mr. D. disauvenr.:the purest, histrionic genius. His chief defect is of a I reliable elocution, the judicious study of which art, by conducing to a more rigid economy of his powers, would prevent those tepees into a shallow formalism, which certainly disfigure occasional I passages of the delineation. In acting of such un commim excellence we become peculiarly sensitive of deficianoles. The general superiority elevates the standard of our expectations, and we feel im patient at seeing the perfection of the representa tion obscured by blemishes so easily remediable. To spook at length, and as they deserve, of the varied beauties of the performance, were at present impossible; but if we may be allowed the privi lege of specification, we shall direct attention to the interviews with Opholia and with his mother, as unsurpassed in general sublimity and pathos, and embodying all tho characteristic earnestness of Hamlet's nature. In the interview with Opho lie, which has always been a source of contention to the critics, Mr. D. raises the vell of obscurity which conceals the actuating principles of Hamlet's conduct, and by the harmonising light of his in terpretation justifies its eccentric harshness to the sense of the spectator. With Ophelia's offer to re. store the former pledges of his love, tbo inevitable condition of his fate is forced, with superadded ter rare, upon his consciousness. Tho sudden transition from affectionate tenderness to frenzied excitement, and the startling impressiveness of his manner, as, with his outstretched arm pointing in the direction of his suspicion, and his eye searching the unex pressed motives of Opbelia, he exclaims, Where is your father? lot him play the fool nowhere but in's own house," are exquisitely truthful expo nents of the distracting uncertainty of Hamlet's mental condition, Wo read in them the anguish experienced in his renunciation of Opholia, no lees than the sleepless suspicions which forever haunt his mind, and seem to necessitate distrust of even those with whom tho dearest ties had always associated him. But the irrepressible struggle with his affection, and the spontaneity with which that affection occasionally bursts forth into triumphant expression: the terrible ener gy of its temporary subdue] ; and, finally, the convulsive agony of love, in which, bonding his oyes Immovably upon her, ho passes from her presence, to battle with his destiny alone—these constitute the most wonderful revelation of the profound secrets of Hamlet's asparienco that orther histrioniern or criticism has ever afforded us. The interview with his mother, excepting the in troduction of the full-length portraits, Is equally perfect. The harrowing, but majestic severity of his reproaches, and, on the entrance of the ghost, his supernatural awe, mingled with the wild ago. ems of his lacerated affections, arouse the pro oundest sympathies of his audience, but the effect of the scene properly culminates in his unwavering refusal of the maternal embrace. The solemn sternness of his manner remains unbroken, until his mother can no longer bo the witness of his Weakness, when, with a moving'pathoe,• he yields to the natural emotion of his situation, in the Me morable words, "I must be cruel only to be kind." In the scene of the play, his restless movements, the intellectuality of his expression, the vigilance with which he scrutinises every motion of the king, and his terrible enthusiasm at the success of his design, as his uncle at last 0 . blenches" under the combined terrors of suspicion and remorse, leave little to be desired. He, perhaps, approaches too near the king, to preserve the entire proba bility of the scene, although be does it with won derful effect. That ho should, in his excitement, advance towards the throne, almost unconsciously to himself, is eminently natural, but Mr. D. ven tures too far; and his deliberation indicates de sign, rather than the unconscious result of eager desire. Ills rebuke to the king, at the opening of the 4th act, though brief, is remarkable for energy and power; and the religious solemnity of his din• courtio with Horatio, act sth, scene 2d, Is impressed indelibly upon our reoelleetion. Ills fencing scone is a model of elegance and gross; and, from be ginning to and, the consistency of the porsonotion "moults no feather." Ito perishes, at last, with the dignity of a prinoo, and the serenity of a phi losopher. In the words, " the rest is silence," tho quiet of death is contrasted with the turbo/once of his life ; and wo feel, in the sense of stillness that steals upon us as ho sinks into his everlasting rest, a morn realizing sense of the tumultuous disquiet of his terrible probation.

It is easy to imagitle that an ( indolent Teacher would, in A promiscuous assemblage, address him self to the mental inquiries, rather than the audi ble acknowledgmeeta of him hearers, and, meet& ingly, the response which these words elicited, viz : Who, then, can bo saved' , " was, doubtless, the inquiry of such as felt themselves to be in cluded in that hopeless category. The immediate context of these words, however, as also many other passages of divine truth which might be cited, prove to the honest inquirer that it was they who "truss in riches" to whom thin prescription was intended to apply—that it was not the mere possession. of riches, bat the inordinate Love or TREK, that constituted the" camel In the figure. The simple possession of wealth, or any other earthly good, where a righteous stewardship is ex orcised over them, le nowhere proscribed in the Bible, and it is a gratifying reflection to every Christian mind, that we have very many men in this and other communities, of all denominations, who, though abundantly blessed in this world's goods, are zealously laboring for something infinit4 ly higher and beyond the mere possession of any pe • rishable earthly treasure, and to such, as we nnderi stand the word, the passing of the "camel through the needle's oyo" will form no impossibility with God. Alas! who knows but that the lesson, which is now being eo impressively taught in the money troubles that are now foremost upon every tongue; is hut a providential means of grace, intended to assist the " camel's entrance" in the ease of many a simeick soul ?+ There is another passage, however, containing a figurative expression, in which the camel holds conspicuous part, which, if it does not admit of as wide a margin for theological construction, is eel , thinly no loss applicable to the inconsistencies of the age in which wo live.

Tho Bible was banded him, and by the guidance of an unerring Providence, he opened at the verse, Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish." The moment be read the text his mind was int. pressed in a most extraordinary manner ; he saw/ clearly the nature and the importance of the sub- jeet, and as he afterward said, if he ever preached with the assistance of the Holy Spirit it was at that time. His address produced n feeling of de pression upon his auditors; and when he had fin ished ho instantly retired to weep over his sins. Ile soon after became associated with the people of God, and died a successful minister of Christ. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS It is certainly gratifying to find that the season of severity which threatens the poor who havo been thrown out of employment, ls already caiiing forth an almost universal response; and if the actions whisk are to follow should prove to he at all commensurate with the promises now being in dicated on all hands, the coming season will nut only bring with it the necessary relief, but crown with undying laurels the humauity'of our people. In many pulpits in oar city sermons have boon and are to be preached upon this subject; and in snarly of the wards church members, aided by the citizens generally, have held meetings far the pur pose of adopting such initiatory measures ns shall boat facilitate their benevolent operations. This is eertainlY commendable, and too much cannot bo said in favor of so laudable a work at this time. The great importance of system ire the collection tout distribution of aid, In a time like that which we aro preparing to meet, is of the utmost im portance, and the earlier such organisations aro formed, now,lbefore the keen grasp of winter is upon us, the more efficient will be their labors when they are called upon to act.

ADDITIONAL FOREIGN NEWS ,From ales received by the Europa at this office.) CoLlNCtiiiirßet..4 AT CaLcutra.—We (North British Mar/)ure happy to state that, from letters received in ❑lasgow yesterday forenoon, dated Calcutta, August 22, Sir Colin Campbell, who ar rived on the 14th August, was in perfect health at Calcutta nt that time, and bad taken the command of the army. On the 17th of that month he issued the following proclamation to the troops in India • "HT TIIE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEY. "HOT Majesty having been graciously pleased to appoint me Commander-in-Chief or the forces in India, in the room of the late lamented General, the lion. George Anson, and her Majesty also hay iog been graciously pleased to confer upon me the rank of General in the East Indies, I now assume tho command of the army in India. " In doing so it affords me the highest satisfac. Lion to find under my orders troops who have 50 fully proved themselves. in the recent arduous operattons in the field, to be what I have ever known British soldiers in every quarter of the globe—couragoons, faithful, obedient, and en during. '•ln former years I have commanded native troops of India, and by their aide I have been present in many battles and victories, in which they have nobly borne their part; and it is to me a subject of deep concern to learn that soldiers of whom I had been accustomed to think so favorably should be arrayed in open and defiant mutiny against a government proverbial for the liberality and paternal consideration with which it has ever treated its servants of every denomination. " When join the force now in the field restoring order in the district disturbed by the disatection of the army of Bengal, I shall, at the bead of the British troops, and of those native soldiers who, though few in number, have not feared to separate themselves from their faithless comrades and to adhere to their duty, feel lay old confidence that. I they will march to certain victory. " I shall not rail to notice. and the powerful (10- cerement which I have the honor to serve will not fail to reward, every instance of fidelity and valor shown by the troops under my command. I call upon the officers and men of both Euro pean and native troops zealously to assist in the trek before ns; and, by the blessing of God, we shall soon again see India tranquil andproSperOUS. "C. CAMPBELL, General, "Calcutta, Aug. 17. Commander-in-Chief." Le Presse denies that serious difterenees ex- ist between Lord Canning and Sir Colin Campbell; but in the same breath it is admitted that the new Commander-in-Chiethas resented " an imprudent anti uncalled-for attempt to limit his authority over the army"—a enured, as every one must see ; the best calculated to promote these very "serious differences." The London Times, writing before the arri val of the Persia, (ou the 10th,) Says; It id assumed that the stoppage of the Phila delphia and Baltimore banks, telegraphed this afternoon, is the result of a joint resolution on the nart of those institutions fur mutual preservation hem the the consquences of an indiscriminate panic. Should such be the rise, the stop, instead of caus ing an increase of distrust, may twist in promoting a restoration of confidence. There are certain conditions under which no banking establishments can stand, and it will soon be seen if these have been the cause of the present movement. The immediate effect will be to cause bills on thesis cities to bo old at Now York, and elsewhere, at a heavy discount, and that most of the specie in circulation in Philadelphia and Baltimore will be sent away to purchase them. The stock of bullion at other points will, therefore, be prW pertionablv strengthened. The event. conse quently, instead ef causing a further fall in secu rities, may operate in an opposite direction. With regard to the fresh failures reported on this occa sion, the principal at Philadelphia seem to have been Caleb Cope ik Co., and Hallowell tt Co., both importers of tuantifatitured goods During the re, lapse which occurred after the termination of the groat American panic in 1037 the Philadelphia and Lattimore • banks suspended, as in this Instance, %bile those of New '1 ork stood their ground.

Tug BELFAST Meas.—The inquiry into the came of the riots at Belfast has at length been brought to a close. The Northern IVhig considers the investigation to have been extensive, yet in eomplete. It has, however, been proved—let, that the celebration of the " Orange" anniversary of the I2th July invariably leads to some rioting, the Processions Act not having the effect of preventing the erection of arches, the wearing of insignia, and the playing of party tunes—all incentives and in; citations to street rows; 2d, that the last July riots, commencing en the 12th, were mainly ores. sinned by the inefficiency of the magistracy; 33, that the police of Belfast i s shockingly inefficient j and, 4th, that the police of Belfast is a partisan force, 153 out of 160 being Protestants, and many of them Orangemen. It is also stated that the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland has decided not to put any gentlemen on the commission of the peace until they have given an assuranco that they do not belong to the Orange nisociation. During the first days of the Emperor Louis Napoleon's stay in Stuttgardt he was always ao compamied by a military escort, which the Empe ror Alexander was not, and when he drove to Wilbelina on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by the King, two officers, in addition to a guard of about a dorm soon, coda at the sid e of the car• ring°. Subsequently ho dispensed with all escort, and walked and drove out among the people with no other retinue than one Wartemberg officer, app. pointed to wait on him during his stay here. At a former period of his life Louis Napoleon, or, as he was then called, Napoleon Louis, lived in Stutt gal dt as a political refitgeo,und it was there that he published many of 11;s anonymous works. Even as fir back as that, he was a great favorite with the present King, who screened him from the persecu tion of Louis Philippe, and refused to expel him over the frontier. Some time ago a very large sum, more than Zio.ooo, was subscribed for the establishment of a commercial academy in Vienna ; but the whole affair is likely to fall to the ground, because the minister for ecclesiastical affairs insists on ap pointing n Vatholio director and professors. The principal subscribers were Jaws and Protestants, and as they made it n condition sine qud 1/04 that Jews and Protestants should enjoy the same ivileges no Catholics, they are about to withdraw their subscript ions According to the latest despatches received by the French Government from tlong Kong, the Court of Pekin had returned no reply to the de mands for satisfaction addressed to it by M. de Bourboulon, the French minister in China. At the head of the griefs set forth in theso demands is the murder of the Abbe Chapdeline, put to death by the Chinese authorities. There is a talk here 01 operations being commenced as soon as Baron Gros shall arrive at his post. The Morning Post defends Queen Victoria and the Ministry against the complaints levelled against thew by " The Radical press ' for having (pitted London at a period of such anxiety and petit as the present. The Ministerial journal points out that her Majesty and her Ministers have only, in seeking a little relaxation amt health, imitated the rest of the world, and eontends that no sympa thy with suffering has thus been smothered, nor has any duty been neglected. M. Ferret, the editor of the well•known rnedioal journal the Aroniteur des Iloprtarra, has been sentenced to three months' imprisonment for speaking (not in his journal, but by word of mouth) disrespectfully of the Emperor. The public is never allowed an opportunity of forming an opin ion upon the merits of a case of this kind, as the trial us conducted secretly by the police tribunal, and no report is permitted. People are already speaking of a separate treaty between Russia and France that had been prepared at Stuttgardt. Tho treaty, they say, will render that of April 15, ISSO, complete, by receiv ing the Emperor of Russia into the number of tho °rest Sovereigns who have guarantied the integ rity of the Turkish empire, and the existing divi sion of power and territory in Europe. The Pent correspondent of the Trieste Ga zette says that Lord Stratford informed the Porte that vast quantities of weapons aro bought up by the ultra-Mahomedan party for the use of their fellow-believers in Podia. The Vizier replied that ho could not possibly interfere with any private speculation which was not prejudicial either to the existence or the welfare of Turkey. The Clonmel Chronicle has again reopened the question "Is John Sadlier alive ?" On the authority of a letter received by a gentleman roiding to Tipperary, it states that the notorious John Sadlier to now living in Vienna; he was in America, but mime over lately to the above-nam ed city The Journal de Frankfurt states that etforts are being made in Prusiia to organize a . liuropean electric telegraph union.
