M. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26. Wiest. does Mr. RAM! mean? There is some thing about his appearance among us at this junc ture which we want explained. Hu be indeed come only to tame our horses and a casual zebra, or has he an esoteric doctrine? Is he a sage in disguise, and are kin lectures spologms in the =maw of the East? We suspect him of allegory. His words are of beasts, but is he sot thinking of man ? The world is one great taming school, and we all are tamers. We choose to regard Mr. RAHEY as a humane philosopher, who uses the horse to illustrate are of the greatest social lessons of modern times. The great basis of his system, u we reed yesterday, is the constant, patient, skilful application of the law of kindness. The trainer must have well studied the peonliarities, strength, weakness, tastes, pas sim, end aversions of his subject ; in order to tune, be himself must have been humanised, and then he may be sure tut in kindness he is employing the mod pirwerfal agent tor subduing refractory spirits. Among those who will read these lines are many wire eau tell of human transformations quite ea remarkable as the taming of Cruiser, due to a treatment based on the principles just laid down. Our Reformatories supply numberless attestations to the potency of kindliest in breaking down obstinate tem pera and stubborn wills. Ruffianly young urchins, with dispositions like " the most unruly harass in the world, those of South America, caught with " the Irmo, and controlled by the spur," are brought without coercion in a few weeks to perform hard work and endure hard fare with cheerfulness, to obey with promptitude, and even to behave with some approach to politeness. There is no trick in doing these things any more than in taming a horse. Mr. RAECT teaches the im portance of personal character to encores. A sys tem apart from individual character is of no =a The trainer must, in the first instance, have thoroughly mastered himself. "Hu temper must have become even as a saint's, his touch as gentle " as a woman's ; he mast neither swear nor bellow, " nor call ill names." Kindness, to be effeetual with boys or men, mat be sterling, and if so, it will be rooted is principle and invariably accompanied by justice. A man distinguished for his mom in re forming criminals and outcasts lately observed to en inquirer My inmates do not want indulgent* t " they would despise me if I offered it. They are " sharp to detect the /east variation from the straight " line; but they see that I never exceed by a word " without recalling it, they are con vinoed that I am " working for their good, and my influence over them " is complete." The calm order and perfect discipline that surrounded the speaker, attested the truth of his words. Principled kindness is a power, while a mere impulsive disposition to benevolence is found atelier to leave as impression of weakness in its object, than to be efficacious for restraint or reform. The greatest taming experiment we have in hand at the present time is the Government of India. And here as nations instead of individuals are con owned, we get slower and fainter results. Neverthe less, as far as it is applicable, Rarity's principle must hold good here also. We need not stay to answer those who my that we endangered our Eastern Em pire through over-kindness. Those who wish the public to believe that, should devise some new idea of bum oaten is whisk their theory will apply. We May bays eseed tuned. the Bengal &pep ea the abbe of weakness sad partiality and neglect. sad oar erne, whatever its source, has ham any thing bat kindness to the millions whom we usideetesit to gems. Our military form, the nines of the maw trembles, will always be what we soaks it by choice and treatment, and it will be our interest to take good care in future that it shall be each se to remove from the people of India all belief in the possibility of any other Government than our own. But when this has been done it will be seen whether we an inclined to admit a fifth part of the ham & reel to enjoy, as far as it is capable, the benefit of these mild maxims of govern men t whom truth sad virtue we have proved at home. Mr. RAZZT mys you must study to understand those you would tame ; but the wisdom of this advice cannot be said to be yet Aurally recognised as applied to India, WAX is it grey to discover mach inclination to adopt meribie maxim. During the lam two mouths we have heard many earnest and some eloquent ' speeds. en the government of our Buten Empire; bat only in rare cues has it happened that the orator has thought it necessary to take into account, (except to denounce them), the peculiarities which our hilow-sobjeets there owe to their descent, education, sad climate. That a knowledge of these should guide and warn the law-maker is precisely what many a us expressly and indignantly deny. A scientific acquaintance with the native character is the meet positive diequalifthation you could name in many warners where a strong claim to jacinths India. legislation is preferred, and the restraining wisdoms of experience is derided and feared under the name of Old Indianian. People who talk thus have their own very com plete notions of what the Hindoo should be, and.. it mildew ocean to them to think that perhaps he mists for his own sake, and not simply es a mere selojest for crude experiments, it is stet rurising that they are based to deal with his after a pretty arbitrary fashion. We may nothing now of tie Ariprelnioe of the 'Delany ; bat it must be plain *1 everybody who ramie - the soleinapart that than aro leltamtial bodies maid as to what that treader et the Win goverevaeat to the Crews, saw la streneonsly sontended ter, h only valued as the reedy means of enabling them to force their own opinions and passim into that legislation which ought to have the ease sad THE EXPRE security of our Eastern feilow-usijects of its primary end and aim. Them persons wouy have no difficulty in calling such disregard of the wants and feelings of a subject people by its right name if it were devised in Vienna and practised at Milan. The argument of " duty," which is not always insin cere on the lips of despotic rulers, would then be esti mated at its proper value. But where India is con oerned, they are impatient of an administration which regards itself as existing, before all things, for the people governed, and would substitute for it an organ of English sentiments and English will. Even now, day by day, journalist' who would feel injured if the distinction of " liberal" were refused them, deride the notion that the first claimant ea the Government of India is India itself. Great emistiss, high in credit and good intentions, but blinded by seal to their own injustice, are pro- claiming that no amount of voluntary missionary effort, no exuberance of individual real, will dis pense the Government of India from the bounden obligation, in its official character, to denounce the opinions sad wound the feelings of the people it sesames to protect and defend. Persons of such opinions should well consider the consequences of a policy of irritation, and not disdain to take a lesson by Mr. RALEY. THE Rev. Mr. LEACH is a clergyman of the Church of England, of good family and fortune, who has just escaped being shut up for life in a mad house. The moving spirits in this attempt were his mother, his married sister, and her husband. The reverend gentleman had on two previous occasions laboured under attacks of mental infirmity, and had ore been put under restraint. But he had been released, and had for sate years been allowed the free indulgence of his eccentricities. Singular as these were, Mr. LEACH appears to have been perfectly barmier. He seems to have lived alone, or with his mother. He was a religions enthusiast. He was possessed with the idea that the Millennium was " dawning," if indeed it bad not already dawned. His actions were all guided, he said, by the Holy Spirit. In early youth he had shaved off his beard, but the Scriptural injunction against effeminacy and women's attire had induced him to resume the badge of manhood. He enter tained strong views as to the necessity of personal defame, and, on the occurrence of some burglaries in his neighbourhood, provided himself, after the fashion of Notting kill, with four or five pistols, and declared that he *brad carry about gunpowder in in his waistcoat-pocket to keep it dry. He was a man of kindly and domestic habits. lie thought servants ought to be treated more on an equality, and carried his principles on this point somewhat to an extreme. Feeling lonely, he was in the habit of asso ciating with his women servants, would occasion ally kiss them and sometimes take them on hie knee. Even this, however, he declared was does by the command of a power which he did not rio ters to disobey. In his delicate attentions he drew distinctions : one kiss he would imprint upoa the lips—another upon the cheek ; but the former kind of carer was reserved exclusively for the young woman he intended to make his wife. Clergyman though he was, he was in the habit of playing whist with his female domestics, but then the game was sanctified by his reading a chapter or singing a hymn between the deals. For a clergyman and a rational man these were no doubt strange But then the man was harm less, and he was certainly a person of learn ing and ability. To meet him in a drawing room, or, as one of the witnesses more cautiously pat it, "in the company of learned and scientific men," no one would suppose him insane, and his Milan sad tradespeople found him punctual in payment sad obliging in manner. For years, even his friends admitted him to be ecoentric, but never thought of petting him in a madhouse. However, about the year 1867 his theory that " Marriage was the first thing, and the second thing, and the third thing," began to fructify. His sister, Mrs. SEDDIEN, and her husband, found that he was actually about to mom one of the damsels whom he had hitherto been moilootad with careening. There is no conclusive Mimeo of insanity in that. Chancellors, judges, Milos, and the like, have done as mad things Is this way as poor Mr. LEACH. Such an inteo don, is itself , would never induce anyone to pat hie brother or anybody else into em asylum. But there were other facts. It tuns out that on this death of his mother, Mr. Limn would Mater entitled to 30,0001. If be died withootekiithini and intestate, that fortune must erne de Mr. and Mrs. SEDDEN. This was too spimeld a prospect to be obscured by a servant maid and a young family. It was natural enough that the mad doctor should be called in by the BIDDEN/ to see whethereccentricities could notbecon 'trued into insanity. The thing was managed. Peer Mr. LEACH was consigned to an asylum. Oise jury, unable to agree on a verdict, has been discharged, bat another jury has just come to the conclusion that Mr. LEACH is quite competent to manage his own Adm. With this verdict every friend to the sacredness ef personal liberty will oonsur. Eccentricity is SW WEL madness is another. Dr. WricsLow, whoa fret con sulted on the matter, recommended his friends to wait until Mr. Lesca had committed some overt set el insanity. That overt act woe, according to Mr. arid Mrs. Sumac's opinion, committed when he wee about to marry his servant-maid. The jury, who bad the whole ewe very ably brought before them, naturally and properly looked with suspicion on such a proof of insanity as this. They, no doubt, remembered that a marriage might prevent the addition of 30,0001. to the fortune of those friends who sought to prove the madness. The best and clearest summary of the whole owe is to be found in the admirable letter of Mr. LEACH, the supposed madman, written after his incarceration in the asylum, to his brother la-law, Mr. BIDDEN. " Nobody," he writes, " ever , • *sight of imprisoning CHARLIE MASSEWS when he married Madame VLETSTI. And, though 4 there is a religious motive associated with mine, if " that would indicate insanity, you might as well 0 imprison the whole body of Quakers, of Meth*- " dist*, of Swedenborgians, of Mormonitee, and I 4 know not how many, who act according to their " consciences, and believe that they act more or less ' under divine isfluenoe in their every-day pro " ceedings. It is grievous to think that, but for my " temper on the Friday previous, and my divulging " my intended marriage —which, by the way, if I " had chain, I could have contracted secretly— • neither you nor anyone else would ban eared *aims than you have ever oared for my religions "gees or conduct; that is to say—not a two " penny piece." This is the whole truth of the matter. The ens is a mat discreditable one to the mother cad the brethsr-in-law i and the oonsequenose of a murals' altruism as such grounds, the insanity of Mr. LUCE might have been to the last degree dangerous. If eccentricity and a medical certificate are all that is reqeired to deprive a man of hie liberty and shut him up in • madhouse, what be comes of the boasted liberty of this ecesstrie sad doctor-ridden British people P CITTTAL PALACE.— VIII 81111ILLING VAT. •-• TriIDAT, MAT 11.--Adaimises at HAN; b 7 mos Welly N 3; Ida vldlue, 11. • .

In the Sardinian Clanger of Deputies the debate upon the financial situation of the kingdom, which had erns with reference to the proposed loan of 40,000,000 of lire, now approaches its termination, and a speech was commenced by Count Comm on Thursday, and (motioned on Friday, in which he presented a comprehensive view of the whole subject, and thoroughly vindicated the ministerial policy. He estimated that the deficit at the end of the year 1869 would not exceed 43,090,000 lire or francs, for which the loan now asked was intended to provide, sad which was entirely attributable to the extras expenditure upon the great public works commenoed. He showed that by the remis -17;71 Quit/ono dues upon articles of prime neces &youth as foreign corn, salt, cotton, woollens, mei Sather, as well as upon the raw material d' manufactures, together with the saving of cost of carriage effected to the advan fte of several provinces, by the construction el the railroads, all classes of the community had seeived benefits from recent legislation at least equivalent to the additional direct taxes which had been imposed. Spading, for example, of the great benefit experienced by the agricultural classes from the railways, he observed that before the introdue tha of these a hundredweight of rice coat 3if. to transport from Vercelli to Turin ; now it coats te. The Vercelli landholder could therefore sell his at least ltf. dearer, a gain to him of 721 f. per hectare, mere, than his direct taxation. The wine from Nice and Monferrat had profited In like manner, and 1 economised Iff. per hectolitre. Notice should also be taken of the vast provincial and communal works easented ; from '49 to. '67 the provinces spent 18,000,000 f. in roads. The minister also referred to the removal of the export duty on silk, and the ha rness development which had thus been given te the growth of silk in Piedmont. By the omens taken en the 31st of December last he showed the inseam in the population of the Sardinian Statue, whisks, amounted to 6,058,672 souls. This was ea images of about 260,000 air compared with the OSMINII Of 1848 (allowing for the Sardinian subjects alma from the country, who were not redeemed in the sant, as they had been in the hems emus} It should be remembered that in this interval be tween 1848 and 1857 there were wars and epidemics. Is France, from 1848 to 1861, the increase was only 181,000; from 1861 to 1868, 267,000. The increase et population in Sardinia had been concurrent with 1 a rise in the prices of labour. This fact famished a demonstrative evidence of the increase of the public riches which he thought incontestable. He, she pointed to the Exhibition of Native Arts and Manufactures now open at the Valentino Palace, la which the number of exhibitors was tripled as mspared with the exhibition of 1861. On the other head, he dwelt upon the exceptional disadvantages tad unfavourable circumstances under which this pleat social and economical program had been eiseled, audio to the grape disease, the war, the dielliame htsvesb of more than one year, and the We lasedadeas. He referred to the failure of the dik amp, the exaggerated prices to which that com modity was driven up by the holders, and the col =141nd:oleos fall occasioned by the American States being the largest market for the Mks of Lyons and Northern Italy. He estimated the lames of the Piedmontese silk trade at 20,000,000 f., and said that the few failures that bad occurred proved how solid and prudent that trade was. In spite of these diseases, he contended that the material resources of the country were in course of sound and healthy development. With regard to finance, he stated the public debt of Sardinia at 726,000,000 f. (29,000,0001. sterling), inclusive of the loan now demanded. Admitting this to be a serious am for a small country, he still maintained that it was by no means axe/sive in proportis to the wealth, of the kingdom, and p roved this by seeperi son with the debts of some other European states. He wee ready to admit, however, that it was near nary a stop to extraordinary expenditure, but that the great enterprises which had been undertaken by the government were all of an utilita rian, if not immed i ately productive, nature, and that there had been no new palaces, or mere decora tive and ornamental works. As for the War Dis traint, he said that when the fortifications and barracks now in program should be complete, Crash extraordinary expenses were not to be an ticipated, but that, if the army were to be main tained in good organisation, the present ordi nary military budget must be submitted to, though some economies in it already appeared. Re marking upon the incidence of different kinds of taxation, he expremed his opinion that the income tax was, in the abstract, a reasonable one, and per haps suitable to a new country, where the whole system might be constructed on that basis, but that it could not be fairly applied as an ordinary mauls raising revenue to the fi the l eg i t h ian h ltates. He re beea thrown Ws .. f; a of the church estates, and sigh declared his conviction that to sibs to the position of saleried de pealiMis apes the state would be to render than seerbesb3e to the liberties, and more widely s =train the sympathies, of the nation, since it deprive them of the common interest which, as pessumero of property, they might otherwise still stein in civil society, from which, by their state of eubbacy, they were already separated is ease degree.

(Chem) la al Ike know animosity produced at VIWOOS sadOMma by dds adaistry's declaration of its determinant Is fellow a mama sad mined was an Arab clerk in an European house, in whose accounts a deficiency of some hundreds of pounds had been discovered. Being of a respectable family he was accommodated with a chair, the witness under examination being invited to tak e another chair near him ; the prosecutor was smokie r on the divan beside the President, and the drege tee ; of the consulate to which the, prosecutor leloe Fe d set near him, being et o ff icio a member of the Tel:mini The forms of procedure were simple enough. Them was no indictment. The principal secretary a s k e d the prisoner what he had done with the money. The accused replied that some one must have !stolen it; and then every one put in a question, or an observation, as the spirit moved him, urging the prisoner to tell the truth, &c. The law of evidenc e in Syrian the simplest thing in the world ; you ask any questions you like ; you express y ear opinion ae to the veracity of the 'Aru n and fly oft' to any collateral inquiry that /pay suit you. In the midst of the examination the 90. clued nulled one of his fellow clerks as the per son he suspected, and a 'emissary was sent to fetch hie, the Court smoking and canvassing the evidence openly in the mean time. The new quasi-calpra had witnesses to explain various suspicious matters laid to his charge ; these had to be sent for, and u they were of a lower grade they went through g form of oath, repeating it after one of the scar, and gave their evidence standing behind the old clerk of the Court, outside the limit of the dives t Prisoner, witnesses, scribes, and Judges talked when they liked, and sometimes all together, and at the end of the first day's sitting nothing had been done to throw a light on the cue ; but the prisoner de manded that his fellow clerk's house should be searched, which was accordingly done. A second and third day passed much in the same style, but on the last day it was pretty generally understood that a verdict would be given, and the co-religionists of the culprit among the members of the Trammel mustered in great force, for he was a Marmite Christian, and the question of guilt or innocence we less thought of than the scandal a conviction would bring on his friends, and on the members of his creed. The president of the Tribunal being &Turk, and apparently having clearer notions of justice than the Christians, at once expressed his opinion that the prisoner was guilty, but that there were extenuating circumstances, and that the miring cash could not be traced to him, so that it was difficult to fix the theft directly upon him. The President believed that the man had only lent the on mey, intend ultimately to replace it, so he thought an im prison ment of three months, and an order to repay the sum, would meet the justice of the case. The prosecutor was now asked what punishment he demanded. It was explained to him that if he adopted the suggestion of the President the Christians of the Tribunal would bargain for a shorter term, so he treated the matter as be would a transaction for a bale of goods, and asked for a year's imprisonment, intending to take the three months proposed. After a long haggling this latter was adopted, and, with another series of salaams,-we left the Tribunal, highly edified by the proceedings. The contrast they offered to our English trials was amusing enough. No Counsel on either side—no telling speeches to Jurymen—no fencing with legal technialities. When the prisoner gave an impro. bable explanation of the matter laid to his charge, the President rated him soundly, and interrupted him with exclamations of Bosh," &0., and the Con sular dragoman and the prosecutor had fretpient whispered consultations with the President, espe cially when it came to arranging the mode in which they should settle the verdict and sentence. One thing, however, strikes every foreigner here namely, that there is a strong indisposition to panel; culprits of any kind, and a conviction is very diffi cult to obtain, unless the matter be in the he of a foreign Consul. There is such wonderfully hard swearing on both aides, that the members of the Court find it generally more comfortable to their oon sciences to reflect that, after all, God only can tell who is uttering the truth ; and so, unless the matter be brought home very clearly to us prisoner, be is almost sure to escape. But if he is evidently guilty, they take into consideration that in punishing him as he deserves they may ruin or in- I jure his friends and relations, and that weighs greatly with them in pronouncing sentence ; so, although a poor man may get severely punished for a homicide, a rich one—as in the case of the son of the Defterdar—gets off generally very easily. This gentleman had cut down a Custom-house officer at one of the gates of the city, and the crime was clearly proved. The sentence that he should give a small sum to the family of the deceased, and &liberal donation of bread to the stray dogs of the city, com pletely satisfied the judges, and he has suffered no thing apparently in the eyes of his fellow-citizens.

The effect produced by this impressive speech is described in the Turin journals as having been strikingly apparent, and the decision of the Chamber in favour of the liberal ministry was thought to be quite secured.

PLYMOUTH, Tunsoar. The Cape Royal mail-steamer Dane, Capt. Stratt, arrived at Plymouth this evening, having started from Table Bay on April 20, from St. Helena the 29th, and from Ascension May 3. Her cargo consists of sheep and goat skins, horns, ivory, ostrich feathers, and wool, with 1,7861. in specie. She brings also the regular mails and 23 passengers. War was declared at the Cape on March 19 by the President (Boshoffy of the Orange Free State against the Buttes. The first collision took place on the 23rd of March, when the Free State Boers gained a small advantage. His Excellency the Governor had ordered the observance of a strict neutrality, in answer to an application by some of the colonists for permission to assist the Free State. Various improvements and projects for opening up the resources of the country, facilitating intercourse, and promoting irrigation, continued to occupy pablic attention at Cape Town, and a general scheme of elementary education was mooted, the want of schoolmasters being much felt. Professor Dale, of the South African College, had obtained twelve months leave of absence, and came home with his family in the Dane. Horses were still being largely shipped for India. The harvest and vintage had both been good. The murderers of the late Rev. Mr. Wilaon had not been discovered. The Himalaya sailed for England on April 18th, and from St. Helens, April the 29th. The Penelope sailed for England on April 18th. The Castor and Hermes were in Simon's Bay. The Boscawen sailed from Ascension, for the Cape, on April 20th. The 80th Rifles had embarked on board the steam ship United Kingdom, for India, on April 6th. The Indiana arrived on the 15th and sailed on the 18th for India, with troops. A SYRIAN COURT OF JUSTICE. To an Englishman, brought up in the faith of horsehair and bombazeen, there is always something very unsatisfactory in the appearance of a foreign Court of Justice. The essence of the customary para phernalia which are supposed to aid in inspiring re spect for the law, creates in his mind a strong . mis giving that the genuine, unadulterated article II not to be tad at that shop. There is no crier shouting " Oyes" in bad French, and " Silunse" in worse Eng lish; no crimson or blue bags; no array of law calf; no rows of little grey pigtails bobbing at the occi puts of the pleaders; and, above all, rarely any ade quate substitute for the grave and bespectacled Judge on the Bench. Wide, however, as the variations in ex ternal appearance and modes of procedure on the con tinent of Europe are from our own, it is in an Eastern Court of Justice that an Englishman's ideas of pro priety are altogether demolished, and that a belief that the proceedings are a mere guessing at right and wrong is irresistibly forced upon him. A few days ago I paid a visit to the Criminal Tri bunal here—the Old Bailey of Beyrcrat. This temple of Themis is in the Seraglio, the official residence of the Puha, and our road thither lay through a dirty, narrow, and unsavoury street, very emblematical of the course of Justice in the East, dark, tortuous, and following no direct line. In the oourt-yard of the Seraglio a dilapidated staircase gave access to the ante-room of the Court, and here walked, sat, smoked, and gordpped the prisoners, their friends, their accusers, their guards, and the attendants and hengerron of the Members of the Tribunal. The earthen floor was covered with pools of water ; on a charcoal fire in one corner stood the inevitable coffee pot, and in another was a collection of swords, nargbiles, muskets, pipe sticks, and similiu. acces sories. In the oeotre of one of the sides a doorway, covered by a curtain, gave access to the court itself , a room as unlike our notions of what such a place ought to be as can be imagined. When we entered, the members rose with true Eastern politeness, and made us the @them, and the President having invited me to take a seat on the divan by his side, some short compliments pared, and the oar in hand pro ceeded. Presently pipes were brought us, and we again exchanged salaams; the same ceremony was gone through with the coffee, and then we had time to attend to the case in hand and examine the locality. The room in which we sat, and the ante room, appeared to comprise the whole space devoted to the " Law Courts" The contents of the ante-room we had already wondered at, but the fittings of the Court itself were in perfect keeping with them. It was a tolerably lofty apartment, with win dows on three sides, decorated with wisps of muslin by way of curtains, and garnished on thou sides with divans, extending one-half of the length of the room ; another divan, with a back to it, reach ing half way across the apartment, leaving a pas eage-way of about six feet in width. On this cross divan est the secretary of the Tribunal—an old gen tleman who was busy copying papers and refresh ing himself from time to tints by thrusting his turban on one side and clawing his scalp vigorously with his very dirty fingers. On the other three divans sat the members of the Tribunal, who were both judge and jury, and advocates for the prisoner and the crown to boot—that is, when they did sit, for a very liberal amount of locomotion seemed no wise to interfere with the discharge of their judicial functions; and an absence of half an hour or so made no difference in their power of deciding on the ease which they had heard more or less completely. The Court, within the space enclosed by the divans, was matted. Without that privileged space the mud floor appeared, and there stood the prisoner and the witnesses. Shortly after our arrival the President, after roundly taking to teak • prevaricat ing culprit, got up from his seat of honour in the corner and went outside the "bar." After perform ing his ablutions he established himself on • little prayer carpet, and went through his prayers, a as coolly as though thre le prisoner or witnesses ander examination. The page' done he returned to his seat, all et es Mpg -lad saluting him as though he had just eatiald ea mess, a fresh pipe was brought him, sewed pep of soiree were distributed, and all this time the sere was going on, and another scribe was busily writiag down the evidence. Luckily, the Arable is smelt =t language—you can put a vast deal ii compass • but as it is very difficult to direct reply f rom an Arab the evidence is , voluminous notwithstanding, and unless the has a =resin importance the) , do not al . 1. r themselves to take much of it down.
