A !Ain edition of the E.rpreai i. publiubed every eveni:g during the racing season, coutaiking the results of the day's rain. Toe trial of the Rev. J. Lulu, a miisionary of the Church of England at Calcutta, is so singu lar in its origin, incidents, and issues, that we need only exhibit its more salient features to obtain for it the curious ►ttention of our readers. Not that it is in any emu likely to fail of securing prominence among the events of the day. In truth the strong feeling it is certain to call forth in this country as it has done in India makes us de sire to notice it before the facts are hopelessly beclouded by prejudice and passion. Alt who take an intend iu the politics of our Indian Empire are aware that among the Indigo Planters of Lower Bengal a very bitter feeling of hostility has grown up against the missionaries who have so powerfully contributed to bring the grievances of the Ityota under the notice of the Government and people of England, and to obtain protection for the native cultivators. We cannot permit ourselves to speak of the planters as a class without acknowledging, with the best friends of the native. both in the civil service and among the missionaries, that many of them are men of the highest integrity, lovers of justice, protectors of the oppressed, wielding the prestige of a superior race to benefit the natives by scattering around them the blessings of Christian civilization. But others are what energetic and unscrupulous Britons, bent on making a fortune, too often become, when they find themselves in contact with a feebler race, and exempt from the restraints of home opinion and home authority. The Indigo Planters occupied a not very intelligible position at the trial of Mr. Loin'. The reverend defendant was charged, tint, with libelling Mr. Watrza Barrr, the editor of the CO l .-iitfis Englishman, and next with libelling the Planters as a body. But no planters' names appeared on the bill, and no particular planters were asserted to have been referred to in the libelous matter. However, the counsel for Mr. Barrr, the only personal prosecutor, informed the court in opening the case that the prosecution had been instituted at the desire and with the entire concur rence of the Landholders' Association of British India, and the general body of indigo planters. Indeed, unless we assume that the Planters felt the deepest interest in the conviction and con demnation of Mr. LuNc , tho prosecution insti• toted by Mr. Barn would be wholly inexplicable. For, that the editor of an Anglo-Indian newspaper, whose whole existence stands in opinion, should for his own sake commence a prosecution fur libel, is a supposition too absurd to be tolerated. From first to last, then, this a Planter's prose cution. Mr. Losin's offence was that he had canoed to be published and circulated an English tran,lation of • Bengali drama entitled Nil Durvaii, " The Mirror of Indigo Planting," which had been scenically represented in Bengal, and which, hawked about as • chap-book, had obtained an immense circulation among the nativist. Very few English readers would have patience to read the translation of this drama to the end. It is diffuse, and its woeful langour is insupportable. It is unnecessary to say that as • picture of the Indigo system drawn from the Ryota' point of view, it would have great popularity among the Bengalese. For the same reason it would be certain not to be • faithful representation of the life depicted. The harsher aspects of the indigo system would inevitably be exaggerated, strews would be laid upon grievances with which Europeans could have no sympathy, and differences of English and liindoo conventional social morality would be sure to bo represented to the disadvantage of our countrymen. But in proportion as it was all this, it would be a " mirror", not indeed of indigo planting, but of the native mind. Of course it was urged by counsel for the planters that Mr. Luso's motive in publishing an English version of this pamphlet was • malicious desire to vilify and slander their body without a cause. Mr. Lora protested that he published it simply as an illustration of native feeling. It is, in fact, well known at Calcutta that, for the last ten years, he has, as a missionary, made it his especial care to study the vernacular press of India, both as it is a reflection of the opinions and feel ings of the native people, and as it may be made the mesas of working on them for their improve ment, and his compilations and catalogues of native literature have been very useful to the friends of minions and education in India. Owing to hie exertions in bringing the chsreeter of current native literature under the notice of the Govern ment, slaw prohibiting the sale of obscene books, which is said to have worked well, was passed by the Legislative CounciL He had also • main peat In the establishment of an Bilacutiim f:azctte in Bengal, which has been the vehicle for tie diffusion of sound information 'among the native population. kr.

This work was already Ia circaktica among the native population, wad several per son surpmeassd a wink that it should be trawilated fur the idesuatisa of those to whom it was of importance to us. anima the native (satin. It was as an illustration of Wive heft, sad sot for the purposes of coatroversy, that attention was directed to this publication. Wo are disposed to receive this am the plain truth of the matter, first inasmuch as such an aim was the one which naturally and solely suggested itself to us on reading the Nil Darpaii months before this controversy arose ; and also because it is the only ono which common sense permits us to believe any man in his senses could expect to attain. It was morally impossible for Mr. Los.; to believe that any Englishman reading the Nil hotpot& would take it fur a picture of the conduct of his countrymen. As a Bengali pamphlet it was well adapted to fulfil the design of its author, and awaken the natives to a sense of injustice and op pression ; but as a weapon of English controversy, in its translated form, it could never have been regarded by any Englishman. The passage on which the Editor of the eafentta Eo f ifisbnion founded his prosecution was the fol ios ing, taken from the preface of the native writer : The detest Able Judi gave the great preacher of the .Iteue, auto the hands of odious Pilate for the *Ake of thirty rupees what wonder, thee, if the proprietors of two newspapers, lx.Tomiug wadersd by the hope of gaining one thousand rupees, throw the poor be!pleer people of this bind into the terrible grasp of your mouth.. And it was against this most wretched 'tell; the product of a ' d disordered by brooding on real or imaginary wrong, that the conductor of the princi• pal newspaper in Calcutta affected a necessity of Idefending himself. When it was scattered broad cast among the native masses, those who might be led to believe that the Anglo-Indian press was part of the vast system of European oppression, the imputation was treated as harmless ; but translated into English for distribution among statesmen and politicians, who would be certain to pity its pueri lity, it was held to be dangerous to Mr. Berrr, and that although his paper, the l'aloilla English men, had not been. named. It was, however, the second count of the indict ment which supplied the counsel for the prosecu tion with materials for eloquence. The drama purported to represent the cruel conduct and the loose lives of two planters, Wuou and Runs; and it was contended that the whole body of planters was thereby libelled. It was in truth as if the French clergy had prosecuted Morass; or the Yorkshire schoolmasters the author of "Nicholas Nickleby," or the Southern planters the author of " Uncle Tom's Cabin." And this extreme view of the character of the work was adopted by the presiding judge, Sir MOEDAUNT WELLR. In applying this doctrine, that learned person—supposing, that is, that he is not misreported—gave himself up to a warmth of passion which contrasts singu larly with the dull serenity of Westminster HAIL The drama contains • passage in which • Hindoo woman, shocked by the contrast of the frank manners and habits of our women as corn. pared with those prescribed by the morality of her people, says to another of her sea, " The lady has " no shame at all,"—the continuation of the sen tence explains this reproach,—" and that when the " magistrate of the Zillah rides about through " the villages, the lady also rides on horseback " with him." This horrifies the poor woman and she exclaims, " The bou (or married one) riding on " a horse P." In another passage one of the same pair of interlocutors says, " the wife of the plan " ter, to make her husband's case strong, has sent " • letter to the magistrate, since it is " said that ho hears her words attentively." Remembering that this conversation is no pre tended history, but is part of a native work of fiction, let us consider the following passage in the Judge's charge. We quote from the first edition of the Calcutta Englishman : His Lordship, reading and commenting ',on the passage, mid it was fur the jury to my whether it could lieu any other ioterpretatioo than that ii he wives of the indigo planters of which the type was propounded in the drama were persons in the habit of deb sing them selves in the manner suggested, fur the purposes of forwardly' the worldly interests of their husbands. Reading those purges it was impossible to speak of them otherwise than as • Joel and filthy slander against a so ciety of helpless comma who, wader the mask of • general type, were cruelly stabbed in the dark. 11 it meant any. thing it was not merely • slander against the wives of plasters, bat it was for the Jury to consider whether it was Dot iotended as • reproach on the whole middle class of the women of England, freak whereas they came. The jury, the civilians, the seklienoued merchants in this country alike had their mosses origin from that middle class whose daughters were here so shamefully enlightened. Those wo ass came to this country to elate • life of toil sad hardship with their husbands, far from the friendship and protection of their native land, sod Npringiog from that middle class were as much entitled to be respected as any persona in any clam of society here. fished been told that the publication was an expression of the Native feeling. If so, every intelligent Native in that Court should be sauna at such • reduction of their opinion. Hehsid malty perinea! friends among both ei vilians and indigo planters, sad he most say that he could ma help feeling that it was most cowardly to attack the planters through their wives, sad their wives through the Magistrates. Would they believe that those women were in the halm of prottitiding thentaeleva is order to gain the decision of Magistrates who were bound by oath to administer the law with strict impartiality. Would they believe that those Ne edn't:A were is the habit of violating the solemn obit. gatioos of their duty sad conscience to gratify lieutione &wires ? He would ask the jury what vru menet but as illicit intercomree, and the violation of his oath by the ma gistrate who allowed himself to be influenced in his i.► deices by what might be the conduct of the indigo pinoter's wifetowarde him. If soy other construction could be put upon that passage DO ODD would rejoice morn than his lordship. That statement would go forth to the mothers and daughters al the middle clam in England to make them think that is the fate of their daughters here. Not • gen tleman in any elation but would tear the filthy production ; but, above all, every civilian, soldier, merchant—end he hoped envoy rdeogyman—would agree that it should sever reach the firesides is England. Much as we feel for the honour and integrity of our profession, we would rather learn that the Calcutta Englishman., from whose report we take this passage, bad been betrayed into error in the exaltation of its success, than that the language quoted was really uttered by the learned judge. We have some hope that this may prove to be the fact, for from the special edition of the report of the trial prepared by the Englishman for European circulation, some of the most violent passages in Sir Moiteauirr Weize's charge do not appear. The result of this trial—a verdict of guilty and a sentence a imprisonment for one month and a fine of 1,000 rupees—must have important results. We at once disuine as worthless the notion that a missionary of twenty years' standing has been thrown into prison, to the degradation of the whole body of the Christian ministry in the eyes of the Hindoo and Mahometan natives of India, either to maintain the reputation of • Calcutta newspaper or to vindicate the humanity and purity of the Landholders' Association of India. This prosecution is • piece of childish revenge. The Indigo Planters have failed in their attempt to mislead the home public, or shake the firmness of the Home Government ; so they ' seek and find in the passions of the non official community of Calcutta the means of striking one of a body of men who have been mainly instrumental in enlightening the British ' nation respecting their relations with the ryot. It is much to be regretted that they have been suc ceasfuL It has hitherto been a common lament that the rulers of Intl* know so little of the native mind; so little of the undercurrents of native society. But all who have sought to exer cise influence on India have striven to increase knowledge of that kind. Missionaries procure at the earliest moment new Hindoo refutations of Christianity ; and governors and councillors, from the Mar. l uis of HASTINGS to Mr. Wu., have assiduously collected native cri ticisms on their measures. And if the incor poration of India with the empire is to be real and fruitful, if India is to profit by the enlightened judgment of the British l'arliament and the humane concern of the British nation, then it is necessary that the feelings and opinions, and even the errors and prejudices of its people, should be known in England.

If all Calcutta were impannelled as a jury, the verdict would not persuade the English public that a gentleman bent on slandering and vilifying a wealthy and powerful class of his countrymen would send a " foul and filthy" libel to the Rev. Itsprixr Nov. and the Earl of SKAFIEBBURY ; Or palm a caricature of Indian rural life as veridical on Sir CILLILLIS TREVELVAN, Lord STANLEY, and the Earl of ELLENBOROUOH. The mere enumera tion of the persona selected as recipients of this translated drama shows that the copies were sent in good faith to acquaint those who in this count' ' , pay most attention to Indian subjects with a parti cular tendency and working of the native mind. This habit of consulting in the first place and by direct means the satisfaction and tranquillity of the people of India, "the native community," as the counsel for the Planters called them, should not be offensive to any body of English settlers in the East, and the Landowners' Association know full well that they will not be allowed to interrupt the flow to England of any information which concerns the good government of that great possession. We believe they will discover before Parliament meets that in instituting this trial they have made • serious mistake. gbe Court. BALMORAL, Sarrniaza 8.

The following paragraph in this evening's Pays Call nut fail to provoke notice on your side of the Channel : A private correspondence from Berlin spears of a pro jected marriage between the Prince of Wales and a Danish princess, and adds that, should the scheme be realised, it will lead to a rupture between the courts of London and Berlin. We know not what truth there may he in the re ports from Berlin ; but, in any case. it should be remain_ bend that hitherto the alliance between the royal families of Prussia and England has exercised but very little influ ence on the policy of the two kingdoms. An Anglo-Danish marriage could scarcely alter the existing relations between Prussia and England, because, according to recent informa tion, those relations arc already very brittle. The visit of the King of Prussia to Compiegne cannot even yet be considered certain, although the date of Oct. 2 has been vary positively mentioned. The independence says that the expected announce ment in the Muni ear stands over, iu consequence of " unexpected impedimenta iu the way of con clusive arrangements." The Petrie says that, the Roman government having protested against the allegatioux of Baron Ricasoli's circular, and made an appeal to all the powers who have representatives at the court of the Holy &w, it (the Patric) is authorised to declare that all those powers, without exception, acknowledged the truth of the assertions of the Raman government, and that France, being first interrogated, " loyally " expressed her opinion. It is to be remarked that the Pattie stands alone in the making the above statomeut. Its fellow labourer, the Pays, la far from having received any communication of the kind, contains a leading article by M. Limayrac, which rips up the old Do Merode sore, and speaks with complacency of the demand of Italy to have Rome for her capital. If what the Patric now says be true, the rumour circulated by the LoMpeadance Beige that Earl Russell has only quite recently promised Baron Ricasoli the moral support of England becomes doubly important. There is as much obscurity as ever with regard to the Emperor's intentions respecting Rome. It has been remarked that the vacillation of his policy makes it necessary frequently to change the writers in the government organs. MM. Grand guillot and Vitu have said things in the Condi tutimltel which make it impossible for them to sign the articles now published by that journal, and accordingly a M. Grottier now fathers the puzzling proposition that France regards Italy and the Pope as two friends whom she laments to see quarrelling, but waits for an opportunity to recon cile. This wretched excuse for the dead lock of which France is the camas may possibly eerie for au indefinite time, and apropos of this some say that the Emperor moans to bold Rome until a Congress meets to settle all European diffi culties ! There is, however, a certain amount of meagre satisfaction to be gathered from the fact that the Constitatiouitel, amidst all its tergiveniationa, seems now studiously to avoid maintaining the " temporal power" of the Pope, and only insists upon the duty of France to protect the " head of catholicity." This distinction budes no good to the Pope; bet, on the other hand, it indicates no limit to the delay which is preying on the vitals of Italy. The Emperor, it is said, is " studying the question" at Biarritz, and there is a talk of the result of his lucubration appearing in a pamphlet by M. de Is Guerronnibre. I believe that no inference unfavourable to a solution can be drawn from the recent despatch of fresh regiments to Rome ; the garrison is not to be augmented, and the regiments relieved were so thoroughly disgusted with the service that it was thought desirable to remove them.

This morning, a little after 10 o'clock, Mr, Humphreys, one of the oorooers for the county of Middle sex, resumed his inquiry into the muses of this collision, et the St. Iluicres Vestry-hall, Camden-town. Mr. Metcalfe. as before, appeared on behalf of the railway companies, instructed by Mr. G. W. Cleather, of :12, Gre a t George-street, Westminster. Mr. Park appeared for Rayner, the signalman on duty at the Kentish-town tion when the collision occurred ; and Mr. Lewis, jon. (Lawia and Lewis), for the friends and representatirts of several of the deceased and injured passengers. Colonel Volland was also again presont to watch pro. needing* for the Board of Trade. At tho commencement of the proceedings tho jury were roman in order to include the death of Benjamin R.A. brook, which took place on Sunday, within the scope of their inquiry. William Buck, the first witness examined, said—l live at 19, Church-terrace, Kentish-town. I am a clerk iu the Railway Clearing House. On the 2nd of September I was about 250 or 303 yen's from the spot where the collision took place, and saw it. The fint intimation I had of it was when I was in the garden of the Bull and Cate, which is on the Kentish-town side of the embankment, the side on which the engine went over. The engine whistled, and •friend of Mille remarked, " That's the danger whistle,• but I don't know which eegiue it was that whistled. Mr. Garrett said, " Good God ! one of the carriages is gone off the lino," and I looked and s►w the carriages rolling off. I did not notice the signal for an hour and a half after, when a friend said, "The signal is standing at all right for the Keutish-town station," but I could not see it distinctly myself. There was not a lapse of more than eight seconds, I am quite certain, from the whistling of the engine till the collision took place. By the jury —I judged of the time by the distance I walked, which was about six yards. Rayner, the signalman, who was absent yesterday when his omits was called, was present this morning, and Mr. Park ►pplied that his evidence might now be taken, but the coroner decided that it would be better to examine the other witnesses first. The Coroner then said be intended to go at once to the University Hospital, to view the body of Ruslibrook, and take the evidence of Bridges, guard of the excursion train, who was lying there; and from the hospital be should proceed to the Camdemroad station, and thence to Bow, to the residence of Scott, the driver of the excursion train, who, although too ill to attend at the inquest room, was sufficiently well to bear examination at his own house. An arrangement was then made that the short-hand writer who attended on behalf of the railway companies should, upon the return of the jury, read over his notes to the reporters. The coroner and jury then proceeded to the hospital, and had not returned to the veetryhall when our report left. By a decree, dated the 25th of August, the sum of 24,800 f. has been granted by the French government foe deepening the entrance awl fairway of the port of Boulogne, sou to permit steamers to enter at nearly all times of the tide. This has always been a part of the general scheme of improvements in course of execution at Boulogne, but its immediate realisation was scarcely expected, and the announcement is regarded as a satisfactory response to the improvements the South Beaton Company have carried out at Folkestone. It is of considerable importance to our international communications, and will afford the means of conducting the services between Folkestone and Boulogne at nearly fixed hours, at a comparatively early date. - . . The Madrid journals publish a report from the Governor-General of the Philippine bleeds, dated Manilla, 2nd June, giving an account of an attack made by a Spanish vessel on four piratical beats containing forty men and strongly armed.

The Agricultural Society of France for the En couragement of the Breeding of Bees held a meeting last week at the Model Beehive, at the Luxembourg. About 100 agriculturists attended from various parts of France. The exhibition of bees, which was held in the Orangery, was very interesting.
