" 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 commissioners 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 GovKrnment„ had there not beeii 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 working of the Acts would have been very much impeded if a special commissioner could not b appointed exoapt by Government. It was there fore considers 1 necessary in many cases, while the power of communicating existed and before the telegraph wires were cut, tp invest the principal officer', such as the Chief Commissioners, the Com mis.tioner of Nagpore, Commissioners of districts, &c., with the power of appointing special commis sioners under the Acts. "25. It afterwards came to the knowledge of th• Governmen t, 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 offenus committed during a period of anarchy, and on evi dence which, under ordinary circumstances, would not have a been received, and that in some quarters the fact of a man being a Sepoy was enough, in the state of excited feeling which then prevailed, to insure his apprehension and immediate execution as a deserter. " 26. There were then many native (aura aryl soldiers of the Bengal army who, though absent from their regiment?, were wholly innocent of the crime of de ,ertion, and some who, so far from being guilty of mutiny, had used their best endeavours to prevent it, saving; the lives of their European offic!ra at the risk of their own. "To punish these men indiscriminately with death as deserters or mutineers would have been a crime. To pruvent their punishment was an im perative duty of the Government. " 28. The ins truotions in question were issued for the guidance of civa not military officers, and were c f necessity in force only where civil power was exer cised. They prescribed discrimination between the guilty 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 do a n 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 first tittle 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. If guilty of rebel lion they child be punished as rebels apart from their military character ; but if charged with or suspected of desertion alone, and not found with arms in their possession, they were to be °cut back to their regiments, or detained in prison pending the orders of the Governtn,nt. If sent bask to their regiments they would of course be dealt with by the 'Mihaly authorities according to their guilt or in nocence. " Second, in regard to men belonging to regi ments which 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 areas 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 b 3 dealt with by the military authorities. " Third, in regard to men belonging to regiments which have mutinied and killed any European, or committed any other sanguinary outrage, the civil authorities were directed to try and settence 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, or that if present they did their utmost to prevei,t it. Th se exceptional cases were to be reported to the Go vernment. "29. It hasnot been found that these orders ara difficult of execution, or that they have tended in the least degree to weaken the hands of the civil power in dealing with those who have bean 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 bad, 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 hey° been dealt with by civil officers. They impose no labour upon the European troops, the transport of the arrested men to Allahabad er other miliiary stations being assigned to the police or locel guards. "30. In regard to the treatment of rebels not being mutineers, we warned unquestionably thecivilautlio ee authorities to whom the power of lif)etatondiediteoartehorhdaedr beenin a dis trict s t a ru ry st i e l d i li t ie ha fi t r t st ho a u t g t l e i n i i t i is , in which the civil authority had been . entirely o v e rthrown to adiniuister th e l aw w i th such promp titude and severity as will strike terror into the minds of the evil-disposed among the people, and will induce them by the fear of death to abstain from plunder, to restore stolen property, at ,d return. to reaceful occupations ;'yet, this t)( object was once in a great degree attained, that the punishment of ciiines should be regulated with discrimination and in the I.oth paragraph, after pointing out the difficulties that would pro b tbly be caused by the administration of the law ire its extreme severity after the requ'isito imprei sion had bcen made upon the rebelliou and dis orderly, and after order had been partially restore', we desired the civil authorities to encourage all persons to return to their occupations, postponing all minute inquiry into past political offences, to punishing the principal offenders, and making examples of those who aler the partial restoration of order might be guilty of serious outrages, or ce promoting the designs of the rebels. "31. We cannot bel . eve that these instruotions need defence. They are addiessed only to civil authorities ; to men who, scattered far and wide LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1858.

The following is a copy of a leUer from the Go veznor-Ganaral of India in Council to the Court of Directors of the East India Company. "Fort William, Dccemb.ir 11, 1857.—(N0. 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, &senior and rebellion during the recent disturbances iu India, and as to certain instruo'ions which have been issued for the guidauci of civil officers charged with catryirig out those 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 be 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 aq it cot id answer any good purpose to do so. ." 4. Martial law was proclaimed by the Lie ut.- Governor of the North-Western Province, as the mutiny broke out, in the Delhi Meerut - , -I. RAH cundt and Agra§ divisions 'and in the districts of Ajmerej! and Neaniuch.ll " It was proclaimed by the Government of India in the Allahabad and Benares divisions on the 9th of June, -1857,. as ttoon.as_the,mutiny, at Benaras and Allahabld and its consequences beaaine known. "It . was procliireed by - the Lieut. -Governor of Bengal in the Patnall and °holm Nagpore** divi sions of the Lower Provinces immediately after the mutiny of the Dinapore regimen's and the Ram gurli Battalion occurred. " 5. Lost 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 bo added that of the abovenamed tracts of country the smallest is equal to any Eag lish county, and the largest is AS large as Ireland. " 6. In the Punjauh 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 wore 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 hag been de scribed, the will of the general. But martial law in India i 4 proclaimed under special regulations applicable only to the regulation provinces in the three Presidencies, whereby the Government is em powered to suspend either wholly or partially the functions of the ordinary criminal courts, to es tablish martial law, and also to direct the immo• diate trial by courts-martial of all subjects who are takea—(l) in arms in open hostility to the British Government ; or (2) in the act of opposing by force cf arms the authority of the same ; or (3) in the actual commission of any °vett act of rebellion against the State ; or (4) in the act of openly aid ing and abetting the enemies of the British Go vernment. " 9. Neither the effect of martial law nor the mode in which courts-martial are to be constituted under the regulation has ever.been defined. But it seems clear that courts-martial cannot be 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 bcrne 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 absauce of express regulation constitutes the cri minal law of the country, does not provide any specific punishment for such crimes. 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 tho aot of opposing by force of arms the authority of the same, or in the actual commission of an overt act of rebellion. " 11. The power of trial by court-martial did not extend to persons guilty of rebellion unless taken in the actual commission of an ovezt act. " 12. Under those 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 1857 strengthened the hands of officers by giving them greater powers for the assembling of courts-martial, and by making the proceedings of these coital 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 conmeted with the East India Com pany--.indigo planters and other persons of in telligenee and influence. Those measures were as follows : " 13. On the 30th May, when it was know❑ that the mutiny of the sepOYs had been followed in many places by rebellion of the populace, Act. No. Xl. 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 Governmtnt was made penal. "14. By Act No. XIV. of 1857, passed on the Gth June, provision was made for the punishment of persons convicted of exciting mutiny or sedition in the army, the offender was rendered liable to the punishment of death and the forfeiture of all his property, and persons guilty of harbouring such offenders were snide liable to heavy punishment. Power wa3 also given to general courts-martial to try all parsons, 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. They have been 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 Leen put in force in parts of the country where there were few troops, and no officers to spare for such pur- pose. " 17. In all the three above-mentioned Acts, NoR. XI., XIV., and XVI., European British subjects are expressly exempted from their opera- tion. " 18. By Act No. XVII. of 1857 power was given to session judge 3, and to any person or per sons, civil or military , t o whom the Executive Go vernment might issue a commission for the pur pose, to try for mutiny or desertion any person subject to the Articles cf War for the native army, with final powers ofjudgment and exe cu ti on .

[Avvsartss uasr.j—The indefati ga b le researches of Dr. Livingstone have suddenly made a Ferukh p a K ri h s ati , us acquainted with one of the happiest people in the world, of whose very existence little was hitherto known iu civilised Europe generally. In their ailments they never have recourse to cod liver oil, and they are equally independent of physic and the physician, for Dr. Livingston found their staff of life to be the Revalenta Arabica Food, which keeps them perfectly free from disease, " consumption, scrofula, cancer, gro., having been scarcely heard of, and the smallpox and measles have not been known for 20 years." In England also tho Revalenta Arabica, has pro duced a wonderful improvement in the health of the people, removing cough, consumption, asthma, debility, indigestion, (dyspepsia) constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, an d re storing the faculty o f di gestion, and nervous muscular ' energy to the most enfeebled, as proved by testi monials from th e ceLbratecl Profesor of Chemistry Dr. Andrew Ure ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ; Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; pr. W urzer ;Dr. Ingrain ; Lord Stuart do Decies ; the D ow ager Countess of Castlestuart, and 50,000 other well known individuals, whose health has been restored by this useful and economical diet, after all other means of cure had been tried in vain for many years, and all hopes of recovery abandoned. Its effect on the progress of population is most favourable as exhibited by the Registrar-General,show in.. for London an average of 1,780 weekly births against a mortality of 1,200, leavin,gahappy gain of 580, or near 50 per cent. in favour of progress; a result most cheering to all classes, as it opens a fair prospect that by the more general use of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food the Europeans will soon enjoy the same freedom from disease as the West Africans.

In such cases when forcible resist, n 0 has been met with, quarter has been rarely given, and prisoners, whether tried on the spot by the officer in command, or made over to the civil power, have been punished immediately with extreme, but just and necessary severity. If in such a lamentable condition of affairs errors have been committed it llages, is assuredly not on the side of undue leniency. " 32. Last'y, as regards the burning o f v i our instructions—still, • be it reniernbered, only to civil officers—were that though a severe measure of this sort might be necessary as nn example in some cases, when the ma's of the inhabitinfithisNre com truoirtst cannot perpetra tors agr a b v e e r o e u a t e r h a e g d e , an a d ny th th e i i n n g di l v i i k d e ua a l whoremie or indiscriminate destruction of property, without due regard to the guilt or inno , :ence 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 preceelings of some of the authorities', both in the Allahabad and Benares 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. "33. On the whole, wo may observe that the effect of the resolution, as regards the native oublie in the Bengal Presidency, the vast majo rity of whom have shown no sympathy with the rebellion, has been to allay in a great measure the apprehension of a general and indiscriminate war against Hindocs and Mussulmans, guilty or not guilty, in revenge for the massacres of Delhi, dawn pore, and Jhansee, which evil-di.p Q sed persons liave industriously raised. .. . ,-`-- -•- ."

Yesterday a man staying at the Cl aren d on H o t e l, 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. The man appeared to be between 30 and 40 years of age ; the woman about 20. Mr. Harrison sup posed the man to be a commercial traveller. Up t o a quarter tO 1 o'clock yestet day they had not quitted their chamber, when a discharge of fire-arms was heard, immediately followed by another, accom panied by shrieks of murder from the landing on which the bedroom of the two persons was stairs door they saw w O o n m t a h n e sstearnvdainotr; rushing up p he par tially dressed, blood streaming from wound in her neck. She said, "H: ha s killed me," and then repeated several • •, jealousy." times the word The man was foundretc bed, appnrently lifeless,_ hi s rio.hts handied upon the grasping . 1 a pistol. A second pi s t o l lay upon the floor. Meth cal aid w as procured, but , he was insensible, and died in a few moments. It was found that the woman was wounded on the rig h t s ide of the head, and that the bones had been 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 bft 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 he 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 par€nts reside in Derbyshire ; that the young woman was not his wife—a statement. thetr u th which she admits—that she is the d a Ug ht and bad rof re spectable paren's in Northamptons hire, Le en unfaithful to him.
