Yr. lad will WM it VAT'S AT WNW! IMMO& LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 22. Tim question of the future government of India ban degenerated so much into a question et party— It has so long been the habit in all political circles to dimes it with reference solely to the stability or the instability of one Cabinet or another—that a large number of our countrymen, we are afraid, have for gotten that the question really to be solved is, not whether this or that meunre will secure a certain number of votes in the House of Oemmelar, but whether it will affect beneficially or *juries* the great main of the people of India. Boas di► every other question dwindles into a question of the most pigmy proportions. It matters very little whether this day six weeks Lord PALMLBSTON or Mr. DIBRAILI is the leader of the House of Com mons ; but it matters greatly whether this day ten years India is a dependency of England or of Ramie. Now, we believe that as we have gone more and more hotly into the strife of antagonistic Ms, we have more and more lost sight of the fact that, after all, this is not an English, bat an Indian question. How little, for some time past, has been said or written about the feelings of the people of India Bat our Indian fellow-subjects are not merely to be viewed in the concrete as so muck area of red on the map of India. They are men with feelings and pee- Mons, and opinions too ; and, though the millions may be sunk in ignorance and apathy, until roused by some intolerable wrong, there are " upper ten thousands " in the Eastern as in the Western world, who have • clear and penetrating insight into matters which abet their interests, and who, if need be, eau sway the multitudes for evil or for good. It is a source of unbounded gratitude that, up to the present time, the hearts of the people at large have not been turned against us. If the multitudes bad risen against us, we must have been swept into the sea. But that which the imputed mal-administration of the East India Company has not effected, the con duct, in this present conjuncture, of the most vehe ment masers of the Company is going far to effect. With sorrow and with shame, we declare our belief that the very class which, some little time ago, was denouncing the indifference of the governing authorities to the welfare of the people, is now exerting itself to alienate from the people the hearts of their English masters. The independent English of the large Residen tial towns have done, and are doing their best, to diihise among their countrymen a suspicion and a hatred of the natives of India, which, if not speedily Checked, will result in a war of races which must of necessity be followed by our expulsion from the country. We do not exaggerate. There is more real danger in the diffusion of these feelings than in a Bspoy revolt. The tocsin of alarm has already been sounded in the capital-towns of India. The more Intelligent and influential native claims are begin ning now to perceive that their rights are threatened by the very men who, not long ago, were hounding them on to avert those rights, if possible, to the embarrassment and confusion of the governing body. They are sensible of the vehement anti-native cry which is arising from the independent Europeans at the capitals and in the vicinity of the capitals. They me that these Europeans, who were once so willing to enlist them as their allies in all their amanita upon Government, are now clamouring for their exclusion from all offices of trust--are now painting them in the blackest colours, and contend ing that henceforth they must be trodden down by the iron heel of the dominant Feriughee. They see that these men, once their pretended friends, are send ing their delegates to England. They me that these men are inscribing upon their banners the words, 0 India for Ow English," and are endeavouring to close the hearts of the generous people of Great Britain against their dark-faced, white-garmented hillow-subjects in the East. Seeing all this, they believe that the time has come for them to end's your to counteract these evil influences. And they are rousing themselves to action under the conviction that the outcry now raised against the sat:iris of India will affect all legislation consummated under the influence of the present excitement. This is no mere conjecture. We have before us, as we writs, a striking illustration of the present state of the native mind as wrought upon by the truculent activity of the independent Euro peans of the large towns. A letter from Calcutta informs us that a highly intelligent Brahmin, the editor of • newspaper called the Hisao* Patriot, is coming to England as the exponent of the views of his influential fellow-countrysien in the Metropolis of India. The journal which he edited had advo cated an edam' ced Liberalism, generally in opposi tion to the Government. He had been stimulated In this caner of antagonism to the authorities by the very use against whoes virulent hostility he is now about to seek the protection of the British Go yernment for his countrymen. Though a Brahmin, he is 'enticing upon the " black water," regard lees of caste, to protest against the cry of " India "for the English." There is a growing feeling among the natives of India that the new system which, it is believed, we are now about to inaugurate, is to be • system of exclusiveness of the most tyrannical kind .—that we are about, not earcere subjects's, but 4. Were staijortos. It is bellow:4d that henceforth the natives of the cum' ry are to be owe a subject race —to be more abject slaves than ever. It is believed that the transfer of India from the Coinpany to the Crown is a measure of retribution. We bare evi dence that the feeling, which we have spoken of as existing at Calcutta, is existing with equal at Bombay. Can anything be more inevitable, than that the mints THi . I imperfooth inf‘rij intelligent (though still.; (dames of the Indian community, perceiving the feel ings of hostility which have grown up against them, among Englishmen in India, should associate with this knowledge the fact that England is alma to im pose upon the country a new told more stringent yoke. The cry for vengeance is ringing in their ears ; and they believe that the legislation of the English Parliament, at rook a time as this, is the natural response to it. And now they are seeking protection of the Go vernment from the virulent animosity of the very people whom, a year ago, under a strong delusion, they had believed to be their beat friends. It is hardly neesmery th►t we should draw any inference from thews facts. The unaided intelligence of every reader will assist hiss to his own conclu- sions. It has been mid that not to legislate at once will be to unsettle the public mind in India. Bat we may be sawed that to legislate will be to unesttle it tar mere iadurionsiy—far more fatally— at a time when whatsoever we do will be looked upon as the effect of temporary excitement, renting itself le a great effort to crush the people with the iron heel of despotic power. What, in comparison with each a oensideration as this, is a Parliamentary majority ea one side or the other? The very tact that a question of votes is uppermost in so many English minds is a convincing proof that the present is not the time to inaugurate a new system of government for India. But still more emulsive on this point is the state of the public mind in India; and we should grossly fail in our duty if we omitted any opportunity cf calling public attention to the feelings and opinions which are now paramount in the breasts of our fellow•subjeots in the But. As long as Social Science is in its infancy it must happen that some of the best endeavours of philan thropy will be more remarkable for the light they strike out to guide fame effort than for their imam-' diate success. Those who have worked hardest and most intelligently to establish and maintain Ragged Schools would, we believe, be prepared to confer that the fruit of their labours is of this indirect kind. An under tone of disappointment per vades the speeches and the reports heard at the meetings of our Ragged School Societies, which it requires all the aid of the sanguine curate and the humorous barrister, ever available on these occasions to counteract. It is not that good, and much good, has not been done. But the result too little answers to the number of the agents and the extensive appa ratus of means. If, however, we look to the peso tical knowledge which earnest men descending to the depths of social degradation and working for high purposes there have gained, as they could have gained in no other way, we shall not say that a single hour thus employed has been spent in vain. It is very doubtful whether we should have had the Industrial Schools Act of last session without the ex perience which Ragged Schools supplied. Under the operation of that statute, with some necessary amendments, we may expect to see the stream of juvenile vagabondago which now flows through our streets before long seriously diminished. That Act, however, was devised from a legislative point of view, and the aid of the Justice of the Peace is neces- sary to its full application, whereas the founders of Ragged Schools have rather approached their work as Christians anxious to save their fellow-creatures from a life of misery, ignorance, and guilt. It is in this spirit that a number of gentlemen not new to the enterprises of enlightened benevolence have within these few weeks founded in the Easton road the "Boys' Home," an institution where destitute boys may have domestic, educational, and moral advan tages not inferior to those which are elsewhere extended to the convicted young offender. It will not be a Reformatory, because it will have to do with those who merely need trailing in the right way to pre vent their entering on the wrong one. At some of the Reformatories in and near London unconvicted boys are received and mixed with the others, but the " Boys Home " being founded specially for such stands alone. It is intended that the inmates shall be clothed and fed, and taught to clothe and feed themselves. As a rule, those who have desired to benefit the boy of the Ragged School have found him utterly unprepared for either domestic or me chanical occupation—his ways untidy, his garb tat tered, and his habits irregular. The boys at the " Home" will be taught to be neat and orderly, and be trained to the use of eyes, head, and hands. They will learn to polish a boot, scour a floor, and clean a window or a knife. A workshop is provided, where they acquire the use of the axe, saw, hammer, and plane ; while others will go out to be taught, return ing in the evening. One boy, an inmate of the " Home," goer every morning to the joiners' workshop of one of our largest builders ; another works at brick laying ; and a third is footboy at the house of a swims. While the boys are thus trained to get their living, and thus extend the usefulness of the " Home" by lightening its burden., their minds are not allowed to lie fallow. Daily instruction is given in reading, writing, arithmetic, and geography, and also in the Bible. The managers state that they will "carefully " avoid the substitution of the ' Home' for the " proper and natural guardianship of the parents." Without such an assurance it might be doubted whe ther their good intentions could preserve them from doing an immense amount of mischief. The divinely appointed institution of the family is not to be super seded by the best deviaedof our inventions, and what ever diminishes the parents' sense of responsibility is to be deprecated. The promoters of the "Home," however, understand this thoroughly, and have no thought of setting it above that home which nature has provided. One of the boys who was first received was born and brought up at Croy don, where both hie parents died of cholera. He was 14 years of age, too old to go willingly into a workhouse, and, having no relative who would re ceive him, wandered up to London, fell in with other boys, begged, shivered, nestled under arches, and generally led the life of the vagrants among whom he was cast. Eventually he found his way to the Field-lane Refuge, the active master of which sent him to the " Home." Casual help in this instance would have been of ' no nee t but for some comparatively per maned stay and support the boy must have been ruined. In another instance a gentleman's coach man died, leaving his widow helpless, with a son. She had been a cook, but with the burden of the boy could get no situation. A lady, who wished well to the widow, but could not afford to take the entire expense of the lad on herself, endeavoured to get parochial help, but in vain, She was told that the mother might enter "the home" with the boy. In the end the lady prevailed on L'ut Committee to re ceive the lad temporarily, and obtained a situation at 161. a year for the widow, who now` pays for her eon's maintenance. Very soon he will be able to rapport himself in the house, and no longer be a harden M nay one. These are specimens of the kind of work which it is proposed to do at the " Boys' Home;" and looking at the large number of families which must be violently broken up every week in a population of two millions and a half, we offer the came A • our bgnmslahea Hundred/ can reenemheathedillieulty they have experienced when trying to deal single handed with cases like the two we have instanced. It would be easier, in London, to tell what to do with a cub elephant, than with a stray boy whom, for charity, you have taken upon your hands. Where to put him—what to give him to do—how pro vide for him in the future, are perplexing questions. There are •ot too many boys, nor is there too little for them to do here, but the ways and channels of em ployment are unknown. The " Home " is designed to be a central point for the patrons of poor boys and the employers of labour; and should it under wise management become such, we may hope that it will be only the first of many similar institutions.

Laid evening a public dinner was given to Sir ZUNIS Brooke, K.C.8., at the Queen'. Hotel, Piccadilly. Iris Mamma, Em., Mayor, presided ; and at the principal table were Sir Junes Brooke, Colossi &resets, H 8., Alder man Bir lames Watts, Mr. Thomas Beaky, Admiral the Hon. Sir H. Hype{, K.C.8., the Hon. Mr. Howerd, Alder man Sir Elkanah Armitage. end Colossal Kennedy. The vice-chair was occupied by Mr. Thomas Pairbairn. Sir Jeers Baooxr, in responding to the tout in his honour, reviewed the chief pants of his career in connexion with Sarawak, and situ enlarging upon the great commer cial importance of the place, said—To advance the interests of my own conatry, and to obtain permanency for Shrunk, I would willingly have conceded the country, with the consent of its inhabitants, to the crown ; but there were serious objections to this connexion, the most sakes, probably being the expense which a new colony would have entailed. The proposition, then, which I have made, as the basis of a future arrangement is, that Ragland should grant a protectorate, end that she should stand in the position of a public creditor to Sarawak; with a stipulation that, on certain terms, she might take of the country, whenever her interests required r is (Var, hear," and applause.) This proposition appears to me to combine all the advantages of pores ion, with toes at its liabilities. The native government, which is wiled to the people, and in which they largely, themselves, edndnister, might be advantageous) y continued ; while the Miicade feet* would rest with the crown.

But If It was required of me, I would maritime this sum of 40,0001. or 60 0001 .— though it was the torture which I have inherited, and which I have exceeded to bring flammek to its present properous condition.

I would - not allow any selfish consideration to stand ia the way of attaining a great public object—(applause)—for I can stand before you to-nigh; and al_ treys Wore my counley. with a conscious pride that my ban& are unsullied by the love of lucre—(applause)—that I have given all, and received nothing. (" Hear, hear," and applause) My tale is told. I will only say that, for myself I ant as nothing ; for what la • handful of dust compared to the destiny of a people P (Hear, hear.) And the subject which occupies us does involve the destiny of a noble race. (Hear. bear.) Tow will pardon me, frennemen, lam sore, If I have been deficient In those complimentary phrases, which are often too lavishly used upon a festive occasion like this. I have spoken earnestly, to men of earnest purpose (hear, hear) and you will believe me, in all simple identity, that I feel grateful for the reception you have given me in your great city—a reception which, whether in good fortune or in bed, I shall ever remember with pleasure and with gratitude.

CHRISTIANIA, Antal. 13. A great fire has taken place at Christiania—a fire so extensive that had there been the least wind, no doubt by this time throe-fourths of the inhabitants would have been housed's. ; as it is the devastation has been rapid and fearful. The fire broke out in Skipper (lade, the next street to my office, about one o'clock in the morning, in the very centre of the town, and In a few hours about sixty houses, some of them among the largest in the place, were reduced to ruins. Although it may be said to have occurred in the very kernel of the town, there were still some old wooden constructions in the back yards, among some of which the fire originated, and spread with a rapidity which defied all the exertions of the firemen, with the imperfect appliances at their disponi. No doubt had these been more ample, and the organisation generally more complete, the devouring element would have been kept within bounds, and the calamity the inha bitants are now visited with have been far lees extensive ; as it is, about 1,000 people have become haunter, and although the visitation chiefly affects the middle classes, still there are a number of poorer individuals who have lost their whole substance. The value of the fixed property destroyed is estimated at 110,0001., and about a similar amount in goods and moveables. The loss is thus about 220,0001., which, coming so close upon the late monetary de rangements, cannot but add somewhat to the general distress. At the same time, it no doubt will be the salvation of many shopkeepers who were tottering, as the unfortunate in surance companies will have to pay for their old stock, &a Fully 2i quarters of the town have been destroyed ; but it will be a great gainer in ►ppearance, and at last two years' work is cut out for a great num ber of artisans and labourers. It is not at all impos sible that the calamity may have arisen from inoen diarism, as the police had received several letters from the working classes, to the effect that if work was not provided for them they would be compelled to take the initiative into their own hands. No witnesses have yet been examined. The Alliance, it is said, will lose about 20,0001., but the bulk of the goods and chattels were insured in the German company and the &midis. The houses of course are insured in the state organisation, our system of mutual insurance, of which of course I have to pay my quota. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. 011011 On OWN PARIS, WIDNINDAT EV1141310. A Paris correspondent of one of your contempo raries, who in consequence of his zealous advocacy of the empire, is dubbed by the CAarirari, Sir Tom Oallophtle, wrote on Sunday last, speaking of the sanitation produced at the Tuileries by Bernard's acquittal—" No exciting language of the French press will be employed to create indignation." This was certainly a most unfortunate prophecy, because on Monday morning Louis Veuillot's inflammatory article came out in the Univers, and this was fol lowed by M. A. Renee's more official firebrand in the Constitutionnel. I am far, however, from say- ing that the correspondent in question did not at the time he wrote speak from the best available twines' of information. He echoed I have no doubt the opinions of the sober and responsible advisers of the Em peror, and his statement is to me a confirmation of the view I took yesterday, that the ebullitions of wrath in the two French journals are only things to be laughed at. The discrepancy ia to be accounted for in this way :—The Emperor has two sets of ad visers, one of which he commits with a cool head in the morning, and whose advice, however it may clash with his private feelings and wishes, he has often the sense to follow, in deference to political necessity. The others are evening advisers and boon companions, who may for a moment be influ ential enough to obtain a sanction for a start ling newspaper article, but who do not yet dictate diplomatic despatches, nor make or unmake alliances. The paragraph signed Rents smells of Chkteau Marg►ux and cigars. There were revels at the Tuileries both on Sunday and Monday evenings, and, doubtless, certain aides ,de-camp and courtiers may have brought them selves to believe, amidst the jingle of glasses, that the French people were very indignant. I believe the opinion that there is nothing serious in all the bluster that has been made will be pretty general before the end of the week, although they do say. that M. Granite de Cusagnac is preparing • " thunderer." M. Deco., the brother of the late Minister of Marine, has been dismissed from the Prefecture of the Lot and Garonne under the following circum stances :—A few days since he received orders by telegraph to arrest seven individuals at Agen, some if not all of whom were among the moat respectable and influential inhabitants of the town. He replied to the Minister of the Interior, by letter, that both the Procureur Imperial of Agen, and the general commanding the district, agreed with him that the order to effect these arrests must have proceeded from some misapprehension, and that fearing the _ . bad effect which the execution of it would occasion in the department he had taken upon himself to wait for further instructioos. Immediately on the receipt of this letter General &pintoes informed the too scrupulous Prefect, by telegraph, that he was dismissed. M. Dunce came to Paris to state his case to the Emperor, who received him kindly, but did not restore him to his Prefecture. Fifteen individuals, moat of them journeymen, were arrested in a tavern in the Rue St. Sauveur on Jan. 18. This morning they were placed at the bar of the Correctional Tribunal of Police on a charge of belonging to a secret society, and having in their possession munitions of war. It is alleged that when the police came to arrest them they threw away under the tables some cartridges, in which, however, there were no balls. The trial will not be over till late this evening. The following electoral address has been issued by M. Picard Elootors,—The names of MM. Jules Fevre and F. Lion ville, with whom I have the honour to see myself associated to represent the opposition, might axon's me from Issuing soy profession of political faith. As an opposition candidate, I offer you my name that you may rally round it, sad by the perseverance of your suf frages in this patriotic circumscription, afford fresh proof of your cooatancy. Tho Poseur this name is among you the more important and significant will be an electoral victory; for it will not be en honour done to as individual, but a de claration of principles. It will be, in the eyes of all Mods of liberty, a new engagement. Liberty should be the first of our dogmas.

PRIMO; Guard of Division on the Reserved Lai, and dread Moir of the Legion of Honour. All the ministers were present this morning 4 the funeral of M. Louis Fould, which took place et the early hour of nine o'clock. Immediately after the interment they proceeded to the Tuileries, where, at eleven o'clock, a council was held, at which the Emperor presided. The Bonne opened with some little buoyancy, but became heavy at the close. The Rente rose 100. for cash and 50. for account, closing at 69fr.10c. in each case. Mobilier rose 2fr. 50c. ; the Western railway rose sfr.; the other lines left off with scarcely a change from yesterday. TURKEY. The following telegram has been received : MARSEILLES, APRIL 21. Constantinople letters of the 14th confirm the statement that Faad Patha has been definitively appointed to represent Turkey in the Paris Con gress; he will leave about April 24, and during his absence Mahmoud Pacha, Governor of Smyrna, will take the portfolio of foreign affairs ad interim. M. de Talleyrand received orders to leave en the 12th. The Constantinople journals announce that the Conference will not meet before May 10, and that the Powers are agreed upon the subject of the organisation of the Danubian Principalities. An agent of Rothschilds, of Vienna, has proposed to the Porte to establish a bank, and there is some hope of an arrangement. A French company, with the Duke de Valmy at ita heed, is likely to obtain the concession of several mines. A Franco-Dutph company is a candidate for tba conossion of the railway from Varna to Rout chouk. A letter from Colonel Tarr, received at Marseille; contradicts the assertion of the Press* cr Orient re. lative to the treason and condemnation of Colonel THE ITALIAN REFUGEES.
