If in stick a lamentable condition of affairs errors have been committed it is assuredly net on the side of undue leniency. - " 32. Lasey, as regards the burning of villages, our instructions—still, be it remembered, only to civil officers—were that though a severe measure of this seat might be necessary as an example in some cases, when the mass of the inhabitants have com mitted a grave outrage and the individual perpetra tors cannot be reached, anything like a wholesale or indiscriminate destruction of property, without due regard to the guilt or innoeence of those affected by it, was to be strongly reprehended. Can there be a doubt of the justice of this order ? To ourselves not only the justice but the necessity of it was' manifest from unofficial but perfectly trustworthy accounts which reached us of the proceedings of some of the authorities, both in the Allahabad and Bewares divisions, shortly after the outbreak, and of the deserted state of the country within reach of the principal stations at the commencement of seed time for the autumn harvest. Its success is shown by the return of the villagers to their occupations, and by the fact that even in the most disturbed dis tricts the breadth of cultivation has not been very seriously diminished. /- _~ S li.l , bill Dv, aile LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1.855.

Lastly, by Act No. X.X.V. of 1857, the property and effects of all persons amenable to the Articles of War for the native army, guilty of mutiny, were declared forfeit, and stringent means wera provided for the seizure of such property or effects, and for the adjudication of forfeiture in a'l cases, whether the guilty person be convicted or whether he die or escape before trial. " 20. Not-only therefore is it not the case that martial law was not proclaimed in districts in which there was a necessity for it, but the measures taken for the arrest, summary trial, and punishment of heinous offenders of every class. civil as well as military, were far more widely spread and certainly not less•stringent than any that could have resulted from martial law. " 21. To an application of certain inhabitants of Calcutta for the proclamation of martial law in that city and in the rest of Bengal, where, notwith standing the mutinous spirit of the native troops, not the smallest indication of disaffection on the part of the people had or has been manifested, an answer was given setting forth at length the reasons ss hich made the adoption of such a measure in expedient. "It may be affirmed with confidence that no one useful object would have been attained by the proclamation of martial law throughout India or in any part of India wherein it was not proclaimed, which has not been attained in a far more effectual way by special legislation adapted to the condition of a, country • throughout vast tracts of which military authority was altogether unrepresented, and by the executive Measures consequent there upon ; while the mere proclamation of martial law, without such special legislation, though it might have sounded more imposingly, would have cramped the action of governmeni, by debarring the govern ment from the assistance of its civil officers in the suppression of mutiny and of the crimes which have accompauied it. " We now advert to the raelution of the 31st Ally containing directions to civil officers respect ing the punishment of mutineers, deserters, and rebels, and the burning of villages. " 24. It has been shown that before this resolu tion was passed civilians had been authorised to try for mutiny and desertion (offences previously cognizable only by courts-martial), and that enor mous powers had been given by the Legislature for the punishment of the crimes of rebellion, mutiny, and desertion, and others of less degree, to such individual civil officers as might be ap pointed special conarni&ioners by Government, or to such other officers as the Government should invest with the power of issuing commissions ; and gentlemen both in and out of the regular service of Government had been appointed special commis sioners under the Acts. The appointment of special commissioners might have been restricted to the Governor-General in Council, or to the Executive Govanment„ had theze not been any interruption to the free communication between the Govern ments and their principal civil officers in the dis tricts ; but when communication- was out off the TIRE RHINE AND GERMANY.—The l ad a Shortest and Cheapest Route. via Rotterdam, to the Rhine er many, Is by THE HUTCH RHENISH RAILWAY.

Notice is hereby given, that the State Apartments of Windsor Castle will b. open to the publics on and after Monday next, the Bth instant, subject to the usual regula tions. The following is a copy of a letter from the Go vemor-General of India in Council to the Court of Directors of the East India Company. "Fort William, December 11, 1857. --(No. 144. —Public.) "It appears that very considerable misappre hension prevails as to the measures which have been taken for the punishment of those who have been guilty of mutiny, desertion and rebellion during the recent disturbances in India, and as to certain instructions which have been issued for the guidance of civil officers charged with carrying out thofie measures, and vested with extraordinary powers for the purpose. Therefore, although our proceedings have been regularly reported to your Hon. Court, and have as yet been honoured with your entire approval, we deem it right specially and briefly to recapitulate them in order that the policy of the Government of India may not ho mis understood, and that mistaken representations re garding it may be corrected. "2. In the first place, it has been made a matter of complaint against the Government of India that the country was not put under martial law after the occurrence of the mutinies. " 3. The reply to this is that the country was put under martial law wherever it was necessary, and as soon as it could answer any good purpose to do so. " 4. Martial law was proclaimed by the Lieut.- Governor of the North-Western Province, as the mutiny broke out, in the Delhi,* Meerut, t Rohil cundt and Agra§ divisions and in the districts of Ajmerejj and Neetnuch.ll " It - was proclaimed by the Government of India in the Allahabad and Benares divisions on the 9th of June, 1857, as soon as the mutiny at Benares and Allahabad and its consequences became known. "It was proclaimed by the Lieut.-Governor of Bengal in the Patna and Chota Nagpore** divi sions of the Lower Provinces immediately after the mutiny of the Dinapore regiments and the Rain gurh Battalion occurred. " 5. Lest it should be supposed by any that in thus dealing with the country by divisions and dis tricts a hesitating and uncertain policy was pur sued, it may be added that of the abovenamed tracts of country the smallest is equal to any Eng lish county, and the largest is as large as Ireland. " 6. In the Punjaub and Oude (non -regulation provinces) there was no need to proclaim martial law. The authorities acted as if it had been pro claimed. " 7. But in truth measures of a far more strin gent and effective character than the , establishment of martial law ware taken for the suppression of mutiny and rebellion. " 8. Martial law, in the ordinary acceptation of the phrase, is no law at all, or, as it has been de scribed, the will of the general. But martial law in India is proclaimed under special regulations applicable only to the regulation provinces in the three Presidencies, whereby the Government is cm COU S IN •II AR R Y By Mrs. GREY.

" 9. Neither the effect of martial law nor the mode in which courts-martial are to ba constituted under the regulation has ever been defined. But it seems clear that eourts-martial cannot, b 3 composed of any but military officers, for there is nothing in the regulation to show that courts-martial as therein described can be otherwise constituted. " 10. Moreover, it should be brrne in mind that in Bengal, beyond the limits of the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, there was no regulation which provided for the punishment of treason or rebel lion, and that the Mahomedan law, which in the absence of express regulation constitutes the cri minal law of the country, does not provide any specific punishment for such crime. Regulation X. of 1804 rendered a person guilty of treason or rebellion liable to the punishment of death only in the event of his conviction before a court-martial ; and even a court-martial under that regulation had no power to try for treason or rebellion unless the offender was taken in arms in open hostility to the British Government, or in the act of opposing by force of arms the authority of the same, or in the actual commission of an overt act of rebAlion. " 11. The power of trial by court-mar tial did not extend to persons guilty of rebellion unless taken in the actual commission of an overt act. "12. Under these circumstances the Govern ment might have been much embarrassed had Indian martial law alone been relied upon, and seeing that the number of military officers at the disposal of the Government was in many parts of the country wholly insufficient for the summary trial of mutineers and rebels, the Government of India took a course much more effectual than the establishment of martial law. Having first by Act No. VIII. of Iss streug.hened the hands of officers by giving them greater powers for the assembling of courts-martial, and by making the proceedings of these courts more summary, the Government adopted measures which should give them the services not only of their own military and civil officers, but of independent English gen tlemen not connected with the East India Com pany—indigo planters and other persons of in telligene.) and influence. These measures were as follows : " 13. On the 30th May, when it was known that the mutiny of the sopoys had been followed in many places by rebellion of the populace, Act. No. of 1857 was passed. By this law persons guilty of rebellion or of waging war against the Queen or the Government, or of aiding or abetting therein, were rendered liable to the punishment of death, and to the forfeiture of all their property, and the crime of harbouring rebels, &c., was made heavily punishable ; the Supreme and local Exe cutive Governments were empowered to issue a commission in any district in a state of rebellion for the trial of rebels or persons charged with any other crime against the State, or with any heinous crime against person or property; the commis sioners were empowered to act singly, and were vested with absolute and final powers of judgment and execution without the presence of law officers or assessors ; and, finally, the posssession of arms in any district in which it might be pro hibited by the Executed Government was made penal. "14. By Act No. XIV. of 1857, passed on the 6th June, provision was made for the punishment of persons convicted of exciting mutiny or sedition in the army, the offender was rendered liab!e to the punishm — ent of death and the forfeiture of all his property, and persons guilty of hat bouring such offenders were made liable to heavy punishment. Power was also given to general courts-martial to try all persons, whether amenable to the atticles of war or not, charged with any offence punishable by this or the preceding Act; and the Supreme and local Executive Governments were authorised to issue commissions in any district for the trial, by single commissioners, without the assistance of law officers and assessors, with absolute and final power of judgment and execution, of any crime against the State, or any heinous offence whatever ; the term heinous offence' being declared to include every crime attended with great personal violence, or committed with the intention of forwarding the designs of those who are waging war against the State. " 15. By Act No. XVI. of 1857 all heinous offences committed in any district under martial law, or in any district to which this act might be extended, were made punishable by death, trans portation, or imprisonment, and by forfeiture of all property and effects. " 16. These enormous powers have been largely exercised. Th©y have bee❑ intrusted not to military officers only, but to civil officers and trustworthy persons not connected, with the Government, who, under martial law properly so called, would have had no authority ; and the law has thereby been put in force in parts of the country where there were few troops, and no officers to spare fur such pur- pose. " 17. In all the three above-mentioned Acts, Nos. XI., XIV., and XVI., European British subjects are expressly exempted from their opera- Lion. " 18. By Act No. XVII. of 1857 power was given to session judges, and to any person or per sons, civil or military, to whom the Lxecutive Go vernment might issue a commission tor the pur pose, to try for mutiny or desertion any person subject to the Articles of War for the native army, with final powers of judgment and execution. Police officers were empowered to arrest without warra nt persons suspected of being mutineers and deserters ; and zemindars and others w ere ma d e pena lly responsib for giving early intelligence of * 16th and 25th of May. ± 16th of May and Ist of June. ::: 28th of May. § 27th of May, 4th and 12th of June, II 12th of Juue. ¶ 30th of June.

It was there fore considere 1 necessary in many cases, while the power of communicating existed and before the telegraph wires were cut, to invest the principal officers, such as the Chief Commissioners, the Com misqoner of Nagpore, Commissioners of districts, cir,c., with the power of appointing special commis sioners under the Acts. "25. It afterwards came to the knowledge of the Government, both officially and through private channels, that in some instances the powers given to special commissioners were being abused, or at least used without proper discretion, and that capi tal punishment was inflicted for trivial offences committed during a period of anarchy, and on evi dence which, under ordinary circumstances, would not have been received, and that in some quarters the fact of a man being a Sepoy was enough, iu the state of excited feeling which then prev:►iled, to insure his apprehension and immediate execution IA a deserter. " 26. There were then many native officers and soldiers of the Bengal army who, though absent from their regiments, were wholly innocent of the crime of desertion, and some who, so far from being guilty of mutiny, had used their best endeavours to prevent it, saving the lives of their Europeau officer 3 at the risk of their own. "To punish these men indiscriminately with death as deserters or mutineers would have been a crime. To prevent their punishment was an im perative duty of the Government. "28. The instructions in question were issued for the guidance of civil not military officers, and were if necessity iu force only where civil power was exer cised. They prescribed discrimination between the guiliy and those who might reasonably be supposed to be innocent. They sanction no lenity to the guilty. They give to the civil authorities no power of finally releasing even the innocent. They do not exempt mutineer or deserter, or in fact any officer or soldier, from trial by courts-martial ; but as re gards military offenders they lay down rules for the guidance of civilians in the exercise of the poweis newly vested in them by Act XVII. of 1857, by which cognizance was the fir,it time given to them of offences of a purely military character. " First, in regard to men belonging to regiments which have not mutinied, the civil authorities were directed to punish as deserters those only who were found with arms in their hands.>lf guilty of rebel lion they could be punished as rebels apart from their military character ; but if charged with or suspected of desert'on alone, and not found with arms in their possession, they were to be cent back to their regiments, or detained in prison pending the orders of the Government. If sent basic to their regiments they would of course be dealt with by the military authorities according to their guilt or in nocence. " Second, in regard to men belonging to regi • monts winch have mutinied but which have not killed their officers or committed any other san guinary crime, or whose regiments cannot be as certained, the civil officers were directed to punish as mutineers only those who were found with arms in their possession, or who were charged with a specific act of rebellion, or whom for special reasons it might be necessary to punish forthwith. All others were to be sent to Allahabad, or to such Other place as the Government might order, to 13.3 dealt with by the military authorities. " Third, in regard to men Monging to regiurnts which have mutinied and killed any European, or committed any other sanguinary outrage, the civil authorities were directed to try and smtence as Mutineers all such persons, and to punish forthwith all who could not show either that they were not present at the murder or other outrage, ox that if pr€sent they did their utmost to prevent it. Th se exceptional cases were to be reported to the Go- vernment. "29. It has not been found that these orders are difficult of execution, or that they have tended in the least degree to weaken the bands of the civil power in dealing with those who have been really guilty of mutiny or desertion, to say nothing of graver crimes. If they have saved innocent men from unjust punishment their object has been so far attained. Upon the action of courts-martial, or upon the proceedings of any military authority whatsoever, they neither were intended to have, nor have they had, any restrictive effect. Their tendency, on the contrary, so far as military tri bunals are concerned, is to extend the jurisdiction of those tribunals and to transfer to them cases which in ordinary course would have been dealt with by civil officers. They impose no labour upon the European troops, the transport of the arrested men to Allahabad or other military stations being assigned to the police or local guards. "30. In regard to the treatment of rebels not being mutineers, we warned the civil authorities to whom the power of life and death had been in trusted, that though it is unquestionably neces sary in the first attempt to restore order in a dis trict in which the civil authority had been entirely ove rthrown to administer the law with such to promp faemaronl titude and severity as will strike the people, into thy abstain will deathand minds h e e v m i - d h i y s p o t s h e e d from plunder, to restor e stolen o , property, and t o return to peaceful occupations object wets great s once in a 'the punishm en t of climes degree attained, that with discriminati on and should be regulated after pointi ng out the di i lia the 10th paragraph, b be caused by the culties that would administrationpro of the law in its extreme severity after the requ'site impre3- sion had been made i orderly, a n d a f ter orde ir had been rebellious partially restore', store ~ wo desired th e civil authorities to encourage an persons to retur n to their occupations, postponing all minute inq uiry into past political offences, 1 u punishing the principal offenders, and making examples of those who after thepartial restoration of order might be guilty of serious outrages, or o' promotin the designs of the rebels.

Yesterday a man staying at the Clarendon Hotel, Birmingham, attempted to murder a woman who passed as his wife, and then committed suicide. About a fortnight ago Mr. Harrison, the proprietor of the hotel, received a note dated Northampton, engaging apartments for a man and his wife for a week. A front sitting-room and bedroom were set apart for them, and on Friday last they arrived. Tim man appeared to be between 30 and 40 years' of age ; the woman about '2O. Mr. Harrison sup. posel the man to be a commei cial traveller. Up to a quart er to 1 o'cicck yestel day they had not quitted their chamber, when a discharge of fire-arms was heard, immediately followed by another, ac com . pained by shrieks of murder from the lauding on killed e d wound m,, i w hich the bedroom of the two pe rsons was osasidtr, , streaming ! situate. On the servants rushing up s t a i rs they saw the woman standing out s id e the door par tially-hasfro and then repeated severa l times th e in her dressed,i ieck. She do jealousy." 17 n e ma n was found word s, re coed upon the bed, apparently lifeless, his right hared grasping a pistol. A second pistol lay upon the floor. Medi cal aid was procured, but he was insensible, and died in a few moments. It was found that the woman was wounded on the right side of the head, and that the bones had bon shattered by the bul let, the ball itself remaining lodged. This was extracted by Mr. Bolton, one of the surgeons of the General Hospital, but it is doubtful whether she can recover. Last evening she was in a very precarious state. According to the woman she was in the act of getting out of bed, when the deceased told her to lift a handkerchief lying in the counter. pane. She did so, and discovered two pistols. In some alarm she asked what he meant, when he re. plied—" Oh, nothing ; but there's one for you and one for me." He added, however, that she need not be afraid, and that she must go to sleep again. She returned to bed, when the deceased snatched up a pistol, and placing it to her head, discharged it. Partia!ly stunned she rushed to the door, saw him put the other pistol to his ear and fall on the bed, where ho died. A letter written by the de ceased, and found on the dressing table, states that his name is Ebenezer John Harrison, and that his parents reside in Derbyshire ; that the young woman was not his wife—a statement the trutho f : which she admits—that she is the daughter _o _ f re spectable parents in Northamptonshire , and h ad been unfaithful to him.
