LODON CORRESI NDENCE. LONDO, Fttt?T EvMnxo. I ¡in. that .6D the Supplementary FAtim,?.

IIr, "t is determined, and 10 are rooei of hit fneeds, to fight a* long a* they can agaioat the ueof Infca, troope in Europe, and more than 004 diviaun [ believe, will be taken, ISnt their effort* wj be supported by the ttreegth of the party, and the IOAD;tf ot the estimate it, of 00" a necessity, The Indian mail trrive:) to-day, a Terr impMf. tant matter for persons who have iwrreepomieoos with ltdia, for it means the aariug of a wh week. I eually the mail arritm m Saturday, tin. daJ after the outgoing mail baa left. IAt U. hope that to-day's speedier arrival will t.roT. the r" and not the oioepti-n. The Indian papers are fnll of the embarkation of the nat ive troope for Malt*. When the J:h Bombay Native Infantry marched to the tran*. port the .tt.ta irere throng with cheering am. taters, both native and European. The Sjliiers thenuelve* joined in the .bollta, and cheered the. flag, their colonel, the ltoial family, and others, and repeatedly raÍled like one man the cry J Vtct.ry to the ?een-- <n?? b )1e,) WbeD the ?h N.l. Ift p?,? for  bav, route to Malta, several hundred European soldiers, belonging to the 2nd ^ooen's and the 11th, went down to the Se$<oys' line, bel't'd the men of the 2iHh on with their new equipmoot then saw the men fail in, and marehed them off to the railway station, cheering them, patting them on the back, and singing at inwrrals the now familar chorus We don't want to fght,, but, by jingo, if we do." So grtta. wns the crowd of British soldier*, and 80 determined their good- will towards the SOth N.I., that the nlkws of that regiment could Not get near their men, and were obliged to let them march off m charge of their British oomrades. To show the filing Whioh animates the Sepoys, it is mentioned that in one of the native regiments that has just goai, on servioe two mon were smuggled out of ù." hospital into the ranks on the day of departure On their being detected, dowii country, they pleaded that they were perfectly well, and hogged to be allowed to proceed but were ordered baok by the doctor, mnoh to their dwypotntmeok No oentiou whatever is made in the paper* I bare seen of the insubordination, amounting to mutiny, which ia alleged to bave occurred in one mure regiment at embarking, and of which areport has reached England. I understand, however, that an M.P., and former Udian Governor, has re. ceived an aooount cr the disturbance, cholera made its sppearance among the Royal Artillery wlale they wore in oamp at Bombay preriou, to embarking, and the disease carried off the nor. gcant-major of the battery and three drivers. Bat there had been no case on board ship. The bla adc-r into which the I' Vity editor feU with respect to Willis and Peroral* Bank, and which induced Mr. Turjuand to apply for a criminal information again Bt the manager of the TV niti, was a natural one for an outsider to make, but it it one which uo City oditor ougl-.t to have made. He ia suppoeed to bo pontc. tip in all financial matte; a.:1 it is soaroely pirJonable that one who I., y umn the law should not have previously rA, I .zed what the law in. The incident will ati- further damage the reputation of the City articles of the Tmu-s, which, sinoe they have been written by their present author, have been most unsatisfactory. In point of flrt, they have beoome quite a bT-word unutig City men, utitirg u they do a maximum of posi- tivenes* with certainly not a maiimun of knowledge. Independently of thin tluuder of ignoranoe, however, the writer in question had a good gruund for criticism, not as against Mr. Turquand, but against the law. It ^em* a really monstrous thing that if a trustee deposit* money with a bank and allows it to remain there at interest for six years without drawing any erf it out, be should lose every penny of it if the hl,k fails, providod ho ha* not drawn apoa it. 11 seems that a cheque for lUs. would besuflk-lest to save tho money, but that if uo che|»o be drawn the whole amount, though it bo £lrJO,O.)O, would be tacriBood under the Statute of Limi tion. All other creditors woull be entitled to their dividend, but that particular one would be entitled to nothing. Mr. Turqaaud still has bin remedy against the T. by civil action, bat having cleared himself in the oourte, I presume ho will bave the good scuse not to push the matter any farther. I travel a good dea) on the metropolitan so l district railways, and seldom make a j'jurnev without having uiy attention forcibly directod to the rebound of the carriages after they are sup- lmsed to have stopped at the stations. People not (0 well acquainted with the two lilies nauieJ suffer more from tho rebound than daily travel, lire, for they do not know of the rebound an 1 not expect it. The iuninberuf &coideotM-mG,' .1 them trifling, I am glad to say --that happen the oourse of a year from this capise is oonsiJ'TA- able, and I am afraid such accr-lcnts will ooiiTiri-j untl some more satisfactory brnke nye' 'u dnÍ>oo, III the me&lltime, 1 think that I or :>ii protection of tho inexperienced notices shou! i >■ stuck up in the carriages waming th.. pul" BKainst the rebouud.
