Here we are going through an anxious period, the festival of the Mohurruni, which *ode to-morrow. Luckily we have bad several bodies of troops from the Mauritius in lately, and have about 1,000 men, in fantry and artillery, to awe the population, if riotoue, and every proper precaution has been taken. They are not such fools, however, as to take us when prepared for them, but will doubtless try to catch the "weasel asleep,' if they in tend trying It on at all.

R. Bombay, Aug. 30. THE BOMBAY ARMY. The following is from an officer in the 12th Bom bay Native Infantry : . Camp near Doer, Angsuit IP. New, learnt mother, I will tell yin a piece of news whkb you are sure to we ninth exaggerated in the peperv, so don't lwn 11 wind there about it except what I tell Sou. The detacbment .1 my regiment of 2io men wha\ was sent to Itusaverabad (the very sink of mutiny) has mutinied. Tim teem were them : —Alter they had received their Fay CaOilo Holbrow, who was contomaing them, beard the bugle blow the Won; Ise the troops in garrison to smoothie.

As Grim, tree lusd near the guns sew men boomed it. and when Captain Ilidbrow rani* hock with the °Mira to much to the artillery lines ear men tcid to more, and, notwittrituoin .11 hi. NOMMOIS that it was all safe, only three would move out of the V,O.

Of mums it we. all a lie of this man of the Lancers that they had mu tinied and taken the guns. But while Holbrow tram away the man of the lancers came back to our men and tried to kill the Europeans when they came up. But Swanson shot blue with a pistol, sod 103 of oar men wen dreamed. The worst part of the matter is that they wen all found with their unarm loaded, which orrtainly lab very but it is alleged they loaded them la self-defenceZZ E rhe Lancers. Oar men hare (350) are staunch. I can't the rut fancy their rising ; but these are certainly anxious times. You see by my amount it wu morn of a panic than a mutiny as th ey behaved the man who told them the Lancers had taken the gaoa and mutinied. I have not the lend doubt that if hd not been fur that the men would have been as loyal as could be. Do not behove anything you see wee than this, as you will be sure to are it is made • great deal of in the papers ; then Ina every excuse for them. It la a very bad that our regiment—" Elir Charles Napeer's favourite' —who fought so well and gallantly at Messes and Hynes bad, should be the first Bombay miner to sot the rumple of mutiny.. It is reported the 26th have also mutinied. Ours and the 26th were Sir C. Napier's two pet regiments. We are wet anxiously waiting for more men from Nursers bad. I think it will not turn out halt so bad as It seems. We woe before quite at the top of the tree in the Bombay smile and now I suppose none are lower. Bo th Is Ili. am great Meads with our espoys here they like me very much, I hear. I hope it is true. The following letter is from an officer of rank : holmium, August 23. Plato I wrote to you • singular event ban occurred. The male of the 27th Regiment of Bombay Native In =all whisk is in the command of the mann af the any, about 70 miles from Belgaum. Without advancing any grievance, or giving any inkling of their par. pose, about 169 men of the regiment broke out into open mutiny at ten o'clock at night, plundered the treasury of 45,000 rapine, and made for • durgah (religious edifice) in the town, and in the early morning marched clear away toward. Wagotun, on the coast by the Phoonda Ghat. No native commissioned officer accompanied the mutineer., but ao ecelldeece could be placed by the commanding officer in the remaining men to enable him to follow the mu of whom, however, some thirty or forty poisoners wore taken. Perhaps the meet remarkable feature is that only one-third of the mutineers were Ilindortanes men, the rein being Waitron. and Monne and Deccan Hindu.. The trials are now going on, Colonel O. 8. Jacob having been sent there with Europeans and guns. He disarmed the 27th, and shot and hong 21 of the mutineers immediately after his snivel. A detachment of the 27th Native Infantry at Itatneghthry his also been disarmed by two companies of her Majesty's 86th Itegiment, who then pawed on to On, cis voile to Bedpan, and they are ezqd here to-morrow. Their approach has permitted the tch of a company of the 2nd Europeans th is morning to I) rear when there is considerable treason, and a gaol of 600 prisoners. The Mahomelan population are ripe for revolt. Pour Bspoys an now under trial for towering mutinous and seditioua intention.; and last week two ' outside" traitors were blown away from guns. The European fore, is now sufficient to disarm both the native regime re at Bagmen, if it were riecessuy, which is not expected, am only a few men in one of the regiments are deafened. =ldhe ..4 Thee wen ale smo th er MOM 6 Leon bra base dm Imeguem arrived thee wind lehumelhe et thole egp Ne. fleg io Agflii ad eingeL The lemgerle menned the ken, chapel. god aeboal sad gat min pe r o , in eai 4lllllllll.

Knowing well the native character, he had no hesitation in aaying that two or three reverses would be enough to mum them to be panic stricken. As soon as ever an army of any importance appeared above Mishabad, oppoeition would almost be at an and. As to the overland joutney, as they were aware the great bulk of our people thought • grave error had been committed, and that we could hove sent an army through Turkey. Had that been done, France might have wanted to send an army to tree other place, sad Horde also might have arm to Mks a similar di mead, so that It would have bees a den rAprecedent, and would have opened the way perhaps, fter evils.

Had ear army at once proceeded overland they would home attired in India in very hot and unhealthy weather, and would most likely have boos fearfully cut down by cheeses. As it was, however, they would arrive there at a mean most favourable to the health of Europeans, what time would be a clear bright sky. with alight frost. at night. He wee sooty to see that Mr. Vernon Smith—who bthe-bye nadentood very little of the subject—had paid t hat there would ham to be an alteration in the government of India, that the law of liberty would have to be modified. Now what was this law of liberty which had bean recently peered I' It wee that any native becoming a convert to Christianity should not forfeit any of his property or inheritance by so doing, which was formerly the mos. AM Jul Mr. Vernon Smith wanted to modify or to repeal that law, which wee the Magna Charts of India. Sooner Ulna they should retract their onward mune and repeal say of those monuments of 'Ranh liberty and benelleence— such as the Law of Liberty, the potting down of Sutteetem, of infanticide, and the destruction of human life under Jug gernaut's car—be tied no hesitation' in saying that Misr than thoi, let British power in India coma to an sod. (Applatote.) Ile had no sympathy with the dispontion which had been manifested to perpetuate the bondage in which the man of the pimple had so long been held in India. India had not been given to no simply that we might draw Loge revenue. from her; not that our sons should obtain Pplendid aituations there. We were not to hold it simply for worldly motivep. God was now calling ua to account ; and we must begin again a new course. In [MUM of religion they said let government stand male. (Applause.) Theo did not want it to protect Christianity. Hour gnat leadMe had carried out their policy, they would have en dowed Bottom Catholicises in Ireland, E' phempolioniem la England. Presbyterianism in Scotland, Buddhism in Ceylon, Juggernaut at Orien,--they would have been all things to all teen. They pimply asked government to eland aside, and render even banded justice to all. and leave the cone. , shun of the world to the church. lie trusted they would en citizens MC that government performed its duty, and es Christians that they would be prepared to send two mis sionaries where one bad been killed. They moot not be un faithful, and then the Spirit would descend, and India, con verted to Christ, would he the tneat splendid gem in our Master's crown.—Mr. Smith then resumed his seat amidst loud apples. In UMWer to a question flaked, Mr. SMITH Paid that there had been no torture' in India senctioned by the government. Ile did not Wien that our countrymen in India went capa ble of such things. Nor would they be guilty of cruelties when they h a d par down the insurrection. In • recent sortie from Delhi our Campo captured a woman who in military them hod ridden out at the heed of a hand of the enemy. Notwithettusding all the circumstances, they let bee go, de cluing that Englishmen did not fight with women. (Ap plause.) The Rev, 'l'. Loose inquired of Mr. Smith whether any port of British India had fallen into a state of famine and depiputown through British mierule? Mr. Sm:TH said quite the contrary 11111 the fart . wherever British rule had attended, the population had increased. Mr. Smith then mentioned several instanced to show that while in the native states pmulation was decreasing, owinc to opprenion and cruelties, ta neighbouring British pro vinces the reverse was the rase. After singing •• hymn and prayer, the meeting was brought to a dose at half-past 12 o'clock. THE RIGHT HON. SIR I. S. PAIIINGTON, HP., ON INDIAN AFFAIRS.

A MISSIONARY'S OPINIONS ON INDIA. ••--4.- On Tuesday morning, a public breakfast of the Mends of the Bspthe Missionary Society took tie . 11 the New Hall, Lericester, when there was a very attend sore, including beeldee • great number of ladieser gymen of the a etabliehed church. After breakfmt had ended and • hymn had been sung, Revs. J. Davis end J. M. It time each spoke, the fernier respecting Ceylon, end the latter upon JI/USUAL The Rev. J. Snail (who has recently returnd from Northern India, and who was received with loud applause) mid he must my ha felt under • considerable amount of die appointment. Since the receipt of the last mail from India his own mind had been eapecielly directed to Lucknow. Ile had thought, and still did think, that it was LI point of danger. He had no fear whatever es Agra, which was capable of holding out not merely sin but twelve month,. (Applause.) He had however, meek fear in regard to Lucknow. He had hop ed i the mail would have brought us information of the rel of our European end Asiatic brethren cooped up in the reitidtney at Lucknow. It appeared from the telegraphic anticipation of the mai l loot received that the brave General Havelock with his little bend—(appleure)—had Mailed on the 4th of Augusta second time to the relief of Lucknow, end it was evident that he had proceeded a considerable distance whew his progress Ina stopped by the mutineers, who, doubt's.% e= that neighbourhood in overwhelming nominee, not only of the insurgent &goys from the veriona staler, but of the inhabiteata. He could not think, without deep feelings of emotion of that noble little bend, as they mus t have been cutting their way literally step by step, and be mill trusted that the find of Battle., would vouchsafe to the brave General and his little band sumer in their effort. to miters their suffering friend.. (Applause.) He tveld not tall them how many dear intimate friend, he had among those who had suffered or were old' puttering the most cruel barbarities and death. It was • mysterious Providence who had permitted such things to overtake tut, and he doubt. leee would overrule it to the accompliehment of hie own great purposes. He would not in this speech merely repeat hearsay tales. Foe Moran, year. he had lived stump' the nailer.; night after night be had sat round their On.; he knew their actual thought., and their minds hod bum opened to him time after time ail they seldom were I. Roe. peens. He had seen them hundreds of times when one of OUT frOUSIUIS, Of Indere, or magistrates had come a them. They had come forward, and bowed before hr et had been laughing him to morn directly hi. back' was turned. Such was their cheracter that individuafti 4-la nceted with government would never be likely to get from them what really wen their opinions. He had. of mune, been in their bezears, end had met 'eery clam of people in conflict and argument. The Mthometans had ever mani fested thorough humility is every seam of the word to the British government and people, because we bad dispessemed them of Hindoetan, and had freed the Modem hem their tyranny and nppree.ion. (Hear, hear.) Meerut was a large military station in the north west of India, about 40 mike mnth of Delhi. Here we bed a very large and Arcing body of European troop.. although there was no arsenal. It It never appeared to him to be reasonable that ouch should he the men, while Delhi, a large city, well fortified, wi th a well. Mocked arsenal and abundance of gone, should have Men In. treated completely to native soldiery. That had ever aps peered to him a great and grave error. If he were disposed to say anything against government, he shoedd my that thou. ✓eds of native families in Delhi, who had ever been firmly and etrongly attached to the British government, and who had actually (-riffled their hornet thalami the rebele—there were thousands of native families (besides our own country men who heel been abject to such cruelties an God only knew) it Delhi, who had doubtlem lost their all, and who hod nothing but sorrow and draftees for their portion now. He held that the government were responsible for that. Had that government done it, duty —had there been only 200 Foramen soldiers in Delhi—the insurgents could not have taken It. There It was, left entirely end completely in the heads of the worth)... native soldiery. There were. number of generals in India jut fit to take the command of • Bath chair. (Cheere.) If government would just send them out a number of Bath choir., and let them marshal them about and enjoy the fresh air in the vicinity of Calcutte, they would b. admirably fitted for their teatime.. (Loud laughter.) He knew every etre tie Delhi, and most of the shops. Delhi was seven mile. in eireuntferenee, with • ;erring fort, and pomeseing • great many gone. Ile was quite rateried that we did not at once venture to take the pram. We could at ,0110 r have done so, but had not a suffi ciently large force to stand the fighting which would take place in the street. and to meet the overerb elming numbere of fumigants. Our army could have at once gone into Delhi. Ilut it ham 160,000 inhabitant., and half these were Mohammedans. It woe the site of the entreat MM.] empire, the head quarters of the old Mord king, and if any king had superstition attached to him it ICY he. AU the natives hraked to him as the only living repre sentative of the ancient polity. In addition to them 00,000 me 90,000 Mohammedan resident., there were now insurgent troops from all the stations of Northern India, amounting. perhaps, to not WWII lONI than 40,000 MIL If our army of 5,000. r 0,000 teen bad got into the city, they would have had to proceed along mime., the bowies on each aide ~f* which are nsfroofed, and would have been covered with 11,.urgents tiring untie our toddler., almost every men of whom must be destroyed. Our mew-rule at Delhi, hecmei -1 bail acted with • considerable amount of wisdom. Wrale thee bad been bmiegieg Delhi, the insurgents had I been tbs king there from all part., end it had acted a. • thou to the country. Hail it not been for that, they would hair had such comes at most of the stations ea had been I realised at Cawnpore and Futteygbur. Ills opinion was that two DUO. mails would bring a. sewn of the fall of Delhi. Caraidenthle reinforcements were miming down from the Punjenb, and hires levies of breve Mks, who hated the Mohammedan.. Gemmel Nkboleon, Van Curtlendt, and several other officers of corieidsrable ability, were also hastening thither. General Havelock, too, wee entioeutrating hu fora., and he hed would sr rive there in about three weeks. He believed Delhi world fill within one week after his arrival., and that the mail after seat would bring us news of the downfall of Delhi. Ile had sot the slightest fear, and felt confidant that they had bat je.t to remain quite patient • little longer. They might depend upon it all would be right. They had hitherto tom holding India by a wrong tenure, costing the Iliad tampering with mud paying their prieete. Nov they would govern it se • right. (Applause.) A different enures would emu be adopted—a manly, straightforward, Eoglirh mune. (Applauati.) He would pees on from Delhi to Mutters, which was sot far from the grand trunk road leading from Calcutta to Peahawnr. Here some troops had been sent from Arta to bring in the treasure, end atter they had got it they roes in uteurreciion. They west straight to the mission, where Brother Evans had Just arrived. There was * **Live tombs?, a *muted Brahmin, *ad a very efliciat k , .J th .._ • •:, , • Loe ssaadx3 (Stamped it Additional.) [TWOPENCE. He hoped and believed that it was only • ;siting aloud • , bat • dark sad threatening cloud had arisen : and at th is moment, in that country when only three months ago the representatives of the Queen were excising power and authority la calmness and esearity over one of the greatest e= in the world, we saw our own arms turned mas • our adding were now our greatest and most hroolous 1144111iN ; and • smell bend of English soldiers, by Ike exercise of deeds of valour which had never been exceeded, wen timely able to keep their ground in some few of the chief strongholds of that country, end were utterly unable, from their paucity of numbers, to protect our countrymen—and, alas I he must add our coun trywomen—from the most dreadful cruelties and atrocities ever committed. Politics—that was, mere party politics— were excluded from these meetings; but he thought it would hardly be becoming in a large body of Englishmen like the bon.Rt l to . tremble together without giving utterance to the which all entertained on this subject. The right net then explained the steps which be had taken to originate • public county meeting on this question, at which he proposed that they should addrese her Majesty the Queen, to assure her Majesty that they appreciated the gravity of the crisis, and that they were prepared to offer her the best support in their power to conduct the struggle to • triumphant weue. (Cheers.) He confessed that he felt very anxious that England should speak out in this crisis of in history. They could not at this moment commit a greater folly than to shut their eyes to the magnitude of the crisis. He thought that the greatest fault that the government had committed—and here he spoke of the government of India rather than of her Majesty's ' s m . :beaters in this country—had been in underrating the magnitude of the rebellion, and in speaking of it as only • military mutiny, ands passing outbreak which would speedily be subdued. (Hear, hear.) They might depend ou it this was not • mere passing military mutiny. He believed that instead of its being • mare military mutiny, it was • deeply-organised, long-matured, conspir, with the object of exterminating the English in I (Hear, hear.) In this aspect they ought to view it ; and in viewing it in this aspect was our greatest eddy. His advice to the country was don't let us underrate the danger, but let us ' meet It la the spirit of Englishmen determined to subdue it. (Cheers.) He wished to be clear tram any /Maunder- ' standing as to the opinion which he entertained on Oda mbreet. Let It not be supposed that in using this language he felt anything lam an approach to deepondency or deepen. On the contrary, he could say with sincerity that the view which he took of the crate of efieln— ggbo,my and =nom ma he admitted it to be—was • sanguine feeling of ultimate MOON.. There was one fact which they would all hove observed in connexion with this rebellion. He thought it was clear to demonstration that the relative superiority, man to man, of the European over the Hindoo was now as great as it was when the great Clive won the battle of Bleary. It wee extraordinary that it should be so when they considered that the soldiers whom the Europeans had now to contend with were the soldiers whom they had trained up themselves. But it was the fact that the supe riority of the European over the Hindoo was as great now as it ever was; and when the reinforce ments from England should have landed in India, and starched to the assistance of our army there, he sanguinely hoped that the authority of the Queen of England would loon be re-established. (Hear, hear.) There was another fact on which he grounded a strong hope, and be formed it on a private letter received a few days since from the Governer of Ceylon, who said we had great mann to be Umtata that the matter was not eons then it ie. The Govemor of Ceylon wrote that we In England had hardly yet • full conception of the danger which we had escaped—(a voice, " Oh, oh")—for that India had been raved by the pre mature outbreak at Meerut. In another fortnight, had not that outbreak taken place, there would have been • simultaneous massacre of all the Europeans in India. (Sen sation.) And his ourreepondent used this remarkable eux• premien, that "he verily believed there would not have been an European left to tell the tale." We had been saved that danger by the premature outbreak at Meerut. This, then, he would say, was the time for Englishmen to prove their loyalty, and at all events to sup port the throne ; and this done, he believed the triumphant result would be to re-establish our dominion in India. - With regard to the atrocities of the Bepoys, justice must be vindi cated, crime must be punished, the power of England must be aseartsel, and the horrible deeds committed must be trend as they deserved. Englishmen demanded this ; but he would say let it be done in no vindictive spirit. Let justice be tem pered with merry. It might be perhaps not an acceptable sentiment to them, but it was a sentiment deep in his heart, and when they came to deal with the matter after the victory had been gained, let them bear in mind that our own hands were not clean. (Hear, hear.) India had not been governed as it ought to have been. (Ileer, hear.) It was only yea tarday that he had submitted to the eatonehed eyes of • large party in a country house offload proof that in collecting the revenues of India there had been practised in the name of England—he would not say by the authority, but he feared not without the knowledge of Englishmen—there had been practised tortures little leas horrible than those which we now deplored. This must be borne in need in the day of reckoning ; and in dealing with ibis question let them bear in mind these two great cardinal objects—first, that as • great nation we must re-establish the authority of the sovereign in India, and secondly, that when that authority Is resetablished India must be better governed. (Hear, hear.) We must take care that our peat errors are corrected, and our great mission so fulfilled that Se may not only reap the benefit in the government of that great empire, but so do it as to promote the happiness, the welfare, and the ultimate civilisation of that vast portion of the human race entrusted to our can. (Loud cheers.) Other toasts followed in the coursed the evening. THE MASSACRE AT CAWNPORE.—In the fearful list of victims to the fiendish malignity of Nena Sahib the name of "Godfrey Heathcote, Mrs. Heathcote, and baby Heathoote," attracts the eye of a Chesterfield reader, and we regret to say that they are relatives (thcugh distant) of our respected magistrate of the lame name. Dlr. Heat hcote was of the branch of the family settled in Nottinghamshire., and had been employed in India for the last ten years as a cur• peon to a native regiment. This antortunats gentleman came to EeSland on leave last summer, and then visited a family reside g Chesterfield, accompanied by his wife ; pier " baby Heathoote" has been born since that period.— Dorbyshire Courier. DrATIIB Or INDIAN OrriCEße.—The death of Captain G. 11. Hunt, of the 78th Highlanders, was reported in the accounts from General Havelock'a army, by the last India mail. It was stated in those accounts that Lieu tenant Campbell had succeeded to the command of Captain Hunt's company, and consequently had become Captain Campbell. In a telegram published on Satur day it was stated that Lieutenant Campbell of the 78th Highlanders, had died of cholera. This statement has been regarded as throning an air of doubt over the report of the death of Captain Hunt. Captain G. H. Hunt was distill gitiehed in the Persian war. With 3110 men he was rent up the Maroon river, and • numerous Persian entry retired be fore that small lucre, leaving guns and ammunition in the hands of the latter. This was one of the most brilliant ex ploits of the Persian war. Captain Hunt also served in the Banerjeon expedition, sad shared in the battle of Koushat, and in the pursuit of the Permian army after Mohaenreir was captured. He has two brothers in India, one fighting before Delhi, and the other fighting his way up to that city. His father, Colonel Hunt, a Peninsular veteran, raids at South ampton. 11. I. an aged and infirm moo, whose heart is touched with a nicely sorrow for the death of hie brave and first-born eon. Not many yaws ego Colonel Hunt resolved to go to India, to fight his way up to higher rank, and no thing but the tears and entreaties of his family and friends prevented his doing ro. The lost India mail brought an account also of the death of Lieutenant Martin, son of Ad miral Martin, of Southampton. Lieutenant Martin wee only eighteen years of age. He was killed in the boats, at Cawn pore, through the treachery of Nena Sahib. No news what ever has reached England of tho fate of Captain Jellied., of Southampton, who with has wife and two children, wee among the EttgliA: at Cawnpore. A HINT FOR AUSTRALIAN GOLD Sltlrs.—The confidence with which our rich "galleons" front Austrelia, with their valuable freights, traverse the seas is certainly surprising, and a national charecteristic considering the tempting prize which they offer to unscrupulous adventurer., who, although their reign would probably ho short, might reap a rich harvest in a short time. Late advicas from South Australia give a hint, which it is desirable our Australian shipping interest should not altogether disregard, for we learn that the crew and pamengeraof the Gilmore, which has ar rived at Adelaide, report that when In the latitude of Ascen sion they perceived • barque to windward, hull down, sup pored t o be steering for So:: , h America. During the morning she altered her col.ree, and at one time ap peared to sail faster and at another slower than the Gilmore. As the day wore on the strange sail got still nearer ' taking a parallel direction. In the evening she got within epeaking distance, but did not hail. As eight bells struck the stranger pawed ...ro an the bow. of the Gilmore. It bring then dark the captain and passengers felt unessy, fearing a collision; but the stranger passed off to kewatd. '1 hey watched her closely, am the was evidently shout altering her position. She lutfed up in the wind, and again crossed the bows of the Gilmore. Two men were put to the wheel, and the utmost exertions were used to prevent her performing this =thereon., but it appeared that the stranger could sail round and round the Gilmore at pleasure. The captain made preparations to run into her, as great con sternation prevailed en board. She resiuned her position on the weather bow, and then again posed to leeward. In the morning she reappeared, and approached within pistol shot, as if to have another examination of the Gilmore, and hoisted the Peruvian deg in answer to the Paton Jack. It was the opinion of all on board that the vessel was a pirate, but that on ascertaining that the Gilmore was only en emigraat ship, the did not think it worth her while to annoy them further. —.Aostralies sod Nno Zosissol Casette.

The committee of this society feeling acutely that the ills of India lie too deep to be reached by merely human de vices, have in ooufermity with the wishes of many friends to Christian missions, set themselves to direct attention to the moral conditnn of that benighted country, in the hope, that so soon as the sword shall have executed its stern work, Christian effort will be stimulated to rescue the laud from pagan darkness. The painfully absorbing interest of all that relates to India will secure for thew well-timed publi cations an immediate sale. The subjects selected include il lustrations of Hiadoo temples, modes of worship, supersti tions, idolatries, cruelties, self inflicted tortures, and the gra tifying results of missionary efforts.

In stead of about 40600 worde,there is probably no single author in the language from whose works, however voluminous, en many as 10,000 words could be collected. Of the 40,000 words there are certainly many more than one-half that are only employed, if they are ever employed at all, on the rarest OCC.iOIIB. We should any of us be eurpritad to find, if we counted them, with how small a numb, of words we manage to express all that we have to say either wioh our lips or even with the pen. Our common literary English probillely hardly extends to 10,00 d words, our common spoken English hardly to 5,000. And the proportion of maths or hone-grown words is undoubtedly very touch higher in both the 5,000 and the 10,000 than it is in the 40,000. Perhaps of the 30,000 words, or thereabouts, standing in the die tionariee, that are very rarely or never used, even in writing, between 20,000 and 25,000 may be of French oe Latin extraction. If we meanie 22,500 to be so, that will leave 6,000 Teutonic words in common ore; and in one literary English, taken et 10,000 words, than that are non- Roman will thus amount to about a ball.
