From the estimates annexed to the prospectus, which have been very carefully made up, and revised by most competent authorities, there is no doubt a large income will be derived from this source. •The net annual earnings, on half cargoes only, are thus estimated ' i For the Main Line £17,272 For the Branch Line 9,001 £26,273 Deduct for Home Management and Expenses, say 2 ,273 And a profit of more than 20 per Cent remains for Dividend to` Shareholders. It is proposed to raise a Capital of £125,000, in 12,500 shares of 410 each, £5 to be paid one month after allotment, and further sums as may be required; but no call shall be made at an interval of less than three months after the first pay ment. Messrs. Pearson, Coleman, and Co. subscribe for £40,000 of the capital on precisely the same terms as the re mainder is offered to the public.

SYMES, Chairman 142, Strand, London, W.C. IIHORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating* that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which serried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those Who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY.

SELF -PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treatise on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Mi cr oscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every - variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., 8 7c . The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violate' without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a Clare.

Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a desperate affray took place between a number of men, most of whom are employed on the Great Northern Railway, and reside in Agar Town, the result of which was that one of the combatants, Philip Donatty, was so fearfully injured that he expired a few minutes after being taken home. It appears that on Wednesday evening a quarrel took place at a public-house in Brewer-street, owing to an alleged insult given to Donatty's wife, and most of the party assembled being Irish a general riot took place, which did not end until many were severely injured, the police taking into custody the most active in the affray. Yesterday morning, at the time above stated, Donatty was returning to his work, after having had his breakfast, when he was furiously assailed by three or four men (not yet in custody) who all struck at him until the unfor tunate man fell senseless upon the pavement, when the brutal ruffians kicked him about the head, and, having as they supposed left him for dead, fled, pursued by the incensed mob, but no police being at hand, succeeded for the present in effecting their escape. The unfortunate victim of the bloodthirsty attack was conveyed to his lodging in Cromer= street, St. Pancras, and a surgeon from the Free Hospital sent for, who promptly attended, but the unhappy man was found to be lifeless. Ixforma tion has been forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the coro ner. The police are in active search forthe offenders, who are Irishmen, and well known in Agar Town. LOCAL SHARE MARKETS.

SUPERIOR SALUBRITY OF ENGLAND.---The Regis trar- General, in his last report on births, deaths, and mar riages, says that it is now well established by extensive observation, that England is the healthiest country in Europe. France stands next to England in salubrity. In the continental cities the annual rate of mortality is sel dom less than 30 in 1,000; and frequently as high as 40. In London the rate of mortality is only 25 in 1,000. Statistical records prove that "the climate of England is eminently salubrious ;" and it has not yot been shown that the climate of any part of the continent is more salu brious than this island ; crowned with hills of moderate elevation, sloping towards the south and east; bathed by the showers of the Atlantic ; drained naturally by rivers running short courses to the sea ; cultivated more exten sively than other lands, and producing those unequalled breeds of sheep, cattle, and horses, which flourish only in healthy places. The healthiest parts of England are not yet places of general resort, but the annual mortality in the various districts comprising watering-places seldom exceeds 21 in 1,000 of the population, and is probably lower in those regions of the districts to which visitors resort. The lowest mortality , at the English watering-places, as they are rather vaguely designated, occurs at Eastbourne--only 15 in 1,000; Worthing, the Isle of Wight, Mutford (including Lowes toft), Barnstaple (Ilfracombe inclusive), and Anglesey, 17 in 1,000 ; Hastings, Upton-on-Severn (including Malvern), and Aborystwith, 18 in 1,000; the Isle of Thanet, Newton Abbot (including east and south-east of Devon), 19 in 1000. After these the mortality rises gradually to 23 and 24, which numbers represent the some: less salubrious districts of Yerrr oath and Bath. Clifton also stands as high as 23, but a part of Bristol is included. Tunbridge Wells stands at 20, Dover at 21, Cheltenham at 20, Warwick (Leamington) a 20, Derbyshire (Buxton, Matlock, &c.) 20, Scarborough at 21, Harrogate at 20, Whitby at 21, Kendal at 20, and Bangor at 21. "It should always be borne in mind," says the Registrar, " in selecting places of resort, that, through the peculiar nature of zymotic diseases, places usually healthy are periodically visited by epidemics, which can only be avoided by consulting recent returns, or by actual ' inquiries on the spot. The cleansing and sewerage of all watering places require improvement, as their arrangements were made 'Om sanatory science was at a low ebb.

IVEEDON, THURSDAY EVENING. The commissioners reassembled this morning shortly after eleven o'clock—Mr. Selfe in the chair —for the purpose of continuing their inquiry into the contract system as carried on at Weedon. Eli Coats wa.s the first witness, and in reply to questions by the Chairman, he said he was em ployed in the packing-room when he first came to Weedon in March, 1856. His wages were 15s. a-week. He remained in the packing-room only about three weeks, when Mr. Elliott sent him into the boot-room, where ho remained only three weeks longer, being objected to by Mr. - Watson, an in spector, on the ground that he passed goods too easily. He was then a labourer, partly in the yard and partly in the packing-r oom pac ki ng c l ot h . He left the service in July, 1857. His reason for leaving was because the wages were too low to support him. He had since been living by his trade of a shoemaker, and worked for Mr. Groom, of Northampton. He knew the witness Witham well, and saw him here last Saturday. Witham said to witness, " You'll be wanted up there," and he said he should be very glad to give any evidence he could. lie had been a packer with Witham for some time. He remembered on more than one occasion Witham saying to Daly, a viewer, that some cloth, he was packing was damp, and Daly's reply was that " the cloth was wanted, and it must go. " By Col. French—lle could not of himself say the cloth was damp. He only beard Witham say so. Mr. Watson used to set other viewers to look after boots that %itness had passed, While lie wtts-at- Wcedon he used to work for Mr. Groom during over-hours. At that time Mr. Groom was a con tractor. Witness never made a military boot for Mr. Groom while he was employed at Wecdon. He knew Groves and Holmes, but he never heard of Holmes charging Groves with taking bribes. The Chairman remarked it was odd that Witham should have come on purpose to Weedon to see witness and pass a night there, and that he told witness he should be wanted to give evidence, whereas he seemed really to have no evidence to give. - . - By Mr. Turner—He did not get any extra pay from Groom for work he made for him, on account of his being a viewer at Weedon. The Chairman said he should be sorry that the country should have to pay £3 or £4 for printing the evidence of this witness ; if the commissioners wished to refresh their memory on it they could refer to very excellent sources of information. Col. French and Mr. Turner concurred in this opinion, and the evidence was ordered to bo struck out of the short-hand writer's notes. Mr.' Thomas Randall, who represented the firm of Parker and Co., Higham-Ferrers, was next ex amined. He said his firm were contractors for boots at Weedon, and had supplied altogether about 100,000 pairs of boots ' • they had been also engaged largely under the old system ; he did not think there was much difference in the profits under the old and the new systems. The inspection at Weedon was very rigid, but on the whole he had not any reason to complain of it ; he thought the objections made by the inspectors were reasonable; his house had never employed persons as boot makers who were employed at Weedon. lie thought it was necessary to have a strict inspection, but he considered it would be desirable to have some sort of reference in case of undue rejections. The prices now were lower than they used to be, although the articles supplied were equally good ; the country certainly had the benefit of that; he considered that open tenders were not always advantageous to the public, as when they became public the competition would have the effect of raising the prices. By Mr. Turner—The proportion of fluctuation of labour in the boot trade within the last three years was 10 per sent. ; the price of leather in the last two years had fluctuated about 100 per cent. In taking contracts from the Government when the materials and labour were high, contractors were satisfied to work for Government at almost no real profit in order to keep the Government contracts. By the Chairman--His house had determined their running contracts with Government some times on account of their not being able to do the work for the prices specified. By Col. French—He did not find that his goods suffered very rough treatment by the inspectors. By Mr. Turner—He did not think it would in fluence his calculations if there was a reference. He admitted that rejections were a loss, but the contractors took into their calculations that there would be sonic rejections. By the Chairman—lf there was an appeal, that would not have influenced his calculations at all. By . Col. French—Under the old system the "am munition" boots were supplied through the army clothier contractors. Mr. Thomas Wetherell, a bootmaker at North ampton, stated he had been in the habit of supply ing boots to Government by contract, both under the old and new systems. The price now was higher but the articles were better. He supplied the Go vernment with about 3,000 pairs of boots per month for some years past. He considered that the in spection at Weedon was arbitrary. He had at times come over to Weedon to complain of rejections, but although the people at Weedon were very civil he found the same thing continued ; the rejections varied from 3to 10 per cent. He had on some oc casions retouched up boots which had been rejected at Weedon and sent them again there, ana they passed—having no other appeal he appealed to himself. (A . Chairman—Tlien - I supnose your are quite satis fied with that mode of appeal? (Laughter.) Witness—No, because it places me in a false position. Witness went on to say that he did not complain of the inspection being always too rigid, latterly ; but he should like• the inspectors to state the grounds of their rejection. He thought if there was a referee he should not be appointed by the Government. He believed the pay of such a referee would be very small, as the fact of there being a referee would make the inspectors more careful in rejecting goods, and consequently there would not be much for the referee to do. By Mr. Turner—ln the case of the boots which were first rejected, and on being sent in by him were passed again, he admitted he was appealing not only to himself, but also to the judgment or 427,042 £17,807,148 1,194,857 £19,0412,005 want of judgment of the inspectors. (A laugh.) He gave all his workpeople a bonus on all boots they made for the Government to induce them to work well ; and if any of the boots were returned he made a deduction from the pay of his workmen ; he was able to tell the work of each man by putting a number on the boots he made. He never gave a briheto any of the people at Weedon ; nor did h e know of any one who had, although he had heard the general rumours that bribery was practised at Weedon. He did not himself believe those rumours; • but he believed more attention was paid at Weedon to some contractors' goods than to others ; but that he considered only legitimate. The witness was here shown a pair of sealed pattern boots, which he considered were not equal in material to the original patterns. As a matter of opinion he thought the back was East India kip, and the uppers were also kip ; but they were made some years, and that would affect their appearance. As to the soles, he thought they were English butt, although it was difficult to say, so much depended on the tanning, which greatly altered the original appearance of the leather. For his own credit, he should never have put such material in a military boot. He thought from 7s. to Bs. would be a fair price for the Government to pay for such boots, but he could not think the Government could pos sibly buy such boots. The Chairman remarked that whether they ought or ought not to have done so, it was a fact that the Government had bought these boots ; but it must be remembered that was two years ago. Another sealed patter.. b..* shown to witness he c on siderr would be worth 9s. rt . pair. - Mr. R ndall was recalled to give his opinion of the boots. He considered that the first boots were not proper to have been scaled patterns. The second patterns he considered much better, and concurred in the opinion of the last witness as to the comparative value of each pair of boots. Mr. Wetherell was also recalled to explain in what he complained of his boots which were re jected being handled with undue roughness by the inspectors. He also stated that the price he charged Government for his boots was 10s. a pair. Mr. Edward Furness, Lambs' Conduit-street, London, was next called. He stated he was a bootcloser, and had served a regular apprenticeship to the trade. He pronounced the boots already mentioned to be of very inferior material, the uppers being of East India kip of the most inferior kind, and the soles of foreign butt. They were not fit for soldiers' boots. He should say the value of them was not more than 7s. 6d. a pair. The other sample of boots was decidedly far better. Witness examined yesterday 874 pair of boots by the first or inferior pattern. He made out a lot of 390 pairs in which the uppers were worth more than 20 per cent. than the pattern. A lot of 312 was about 7 per cent. in the uppers, but in the whole 874 pairs the soles were quite as good as the pattern, but he should not say they were boots that were good enough for the use of the troops, for when the boots got thoroughly saturated with wet a ridge formed inside, and the wearer was always afterwards walking on ploughed land. (A laugh.) He should say that such boots as these would not stand above nine days' hard walking in very wet weather, and he should not certainly say they were fit to be sent to the troops in India during the rainy season. He considered the boot inspector ought to be a bootmaker. Mr. Turner—One equal to yourself, I presume. (A laugh.) Chairman—There is no vacancy at present, Mr. Furness. (Laughter.) Mr. W. Nicholls, a bootmaker at Hands, Nor thamptonshire, said he did not complain of the in spection at Weedon, to which establishment he supplied a large number of boots. Last year he was startled by the large number of his boots re jected, and he came to Weedon to ascertain the cause. He saw Mr. Hoile, one of the inspectors, who sent two viewers with him to point out what were the faults in the boots, and the viewers pointed out " chalk marks," and also that the heels were too low. Subsequently he sent in these boots a second time to Weedon mixed up with other boots, and he had no doubt the greater part of them passed. Since that time very few of Ws boots had been rejected; the strictness of the in spection did " drive " him to be more careful in the quality of his boots. Mr. Turner—Then it was a wholesome lesson to you. (A laugh.) Witness, in answer to further questions, said if Government would furnish the contractors with an appeal he was sure the Government would have the benefit of it in lower prices. That appeal or referee would give him greater confidence, and he should say he could cut lower in his prices than to the extent of 2d. or 3d. a pair, which in the large number required would tell up soon. As Govern ment had already inspectors, he should say the referee ought to be a thoroughly practical man, and independent of the Government. He should just as soon pay his share of the expenses of the referee in ease his goods were rejected as if they passed. He never gave a halfpenny nor a halfpenny's worth to any one at Weedon to " make things pleasant," nor was he aware of any one who did. Five different pairs of boots were here placed on the table for witness to give his opinion of, respect ing which the chairman stated that the best and second best pairs were samples of boots which had been purchased by Mr. Levy at the Tower, the third and fourth samples were the present issue, and the fifth was the rejected lot. He considered that the fifth pair had no goodness in them, but they were as good as the sealed patterns. He could not conceive who had sealed such a pattern. Wit ness considered it would not matter in the least to him if the boot depot was in London instead of being at Weedon. He valued the first pair of boots at 10s. 6d. • the second at 10s. [These were a part of 200,000 pairs of boots sold at the Tower, purchased by Mr. Levy at ss. 54d. a pair, re-sold by him to contractors, and then sent into Weedon by them and passed.] Mr. James Dovvie, bootmaker, Charing-cross, was the next witness. He stated that the first and second pairs of the boots were part of what he had got from Mr. W. Shaw, who purchased from Mr. Levy, and Levy told him he bought them at the Tower. Pairs No. 3 and 4 were returned to wit ness by the Dumfries Militia ; they had been sup plied prom Weedon to the militia. The regiment had been suddenly disembodied, and haying thirty Charge of the Consolidated Fund for the Quarter ended Sept. 30, 1848, viz, Interest of the Permanent Debt £5,524,040 Terminable Debt 1,430,325 Interest of Exchequer Bills (Deficiency) Nil.

On exa mining them he found two pairs which were not of his making, and on them he found the Weedon mark, from which he inferred that they had been issued to the regiment from Weedon. He himself had not supplied any boots direct to the Dumfries Militia. Mr. Randall and Mr. Wetherell were recalled, to say if they agreed with Mr. Nicholls as to the relative v2hin of the boots, and they both quite concurred in his opinion. In reply to Mr. Turner, Mr. Dowie stated that he got the first pattern pair of boots sealed by Sir Thomas Troubridge. Mr. J. L. Folkard said he was one of the inspec tors of boots ; he had been examined before the committee on contracts, and adhered to all the evidence he gave before that committee. He re membered making a representation, in conjunction with Mr. Watson, as to the state of the boots sent from the Tower to Weedon ; there were 170,000 pairs of boots packed in casks sent from the Tower to Weedon ; there were in all about 1,200 casks ; he only opened and examined four of the casks. In consequence of the representation made by wit ness and Mr. Watson, a committee was appointed, of which Mr. Ramsay and Mr. C. S. Elliott were members, and witness was also a member. Evi dence was taken before that committee, and wit ness himself gave evidence on that occasion. The boots were re-inspected ; there were none of them thoroughly condemned ; but 20,000 pair of them 4.. 41,, ...1- 1, 7 - direction of the Secretary for War. Mr. Watson selected those 20,000 pairs ; witness had nothing to do with it. Those 20,000 were taken indiscriminately from the good and bad lots into which the boots were divided. The Chairman remarked that this mode of pro ceeding passed his understanding. Witness was directed by the chairman to look at the five pairs of boots on the table as already stated. He said, with regard to one pattern, they were such as he should not have passed. Chairman—We have had four practical boot makers here to-day, who concurred in the opinion that patterns Nos. 1 and 2 are better than 3 and 4. Do you agree in that ? Witness—l do. In answer to further questions, witness said that he and Mr. Watson would be responsible if these boots were rejected and sent ,off to the Tower. By Mr. Turner—The 20,000 pairs of inferior boots sent to the Tower were made up from the whole of the boots. The Chairman told the witness that he was not giving his evidence in a proper manner. He should remember that, although he was not upon his oath, he should give his evidence with the same solem nity as if he was. The witness went on to say--4 cask was filled with all doubtful boots, and marked with 1) out side ; there were 10,000 of those doubtful boots sent in casks to the Tower ; and 10,000 more were also sent to the same place, which he believed had not been examined at all. He explained that the issue of stores formed no part of his duty—that being entirely the duty of Mr. Watson, which would ac count for his not being able to give the commis sioners more satisfactory information. Mr. Noah Watson was the next witness. He stated that he was inspector of boots and shoes at Weedon. He had given evidence before the commit tee on contracts, and he adhered to that evidence now. Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Elliott came down to Weedon in consequence of a report sent in by witness and Mr. Folkard as to the bad quality of boots sent from the Tower ; there was a re-inspection of all these boots. Nearly every barrel of the boots was opened, and the boots were taken out and examined. There were 20,000 pairs of boots sent off, which were worse than the 150,000 which were retained. The re-inspection of the boots began on 18th August, 1856, and continued till 27th September or 3d October. Witness took part in the re-inspec tion with six permanent viewers and eight super numerary viewers. He found, on referring to his books, that the whole of the boots were not re-in spected, but nearly all were. There were three classes of boots, doubtful, good, and condemned, at the re-inspection. The re-inspection was ordered on the representation of Mr. Folkard and witness. His impression was that the whole of the Tower boots were to be sold, and he was sure that in that matter he was as careful in the re-inspection as if the goods were to be issued to the service. lie should not condemn the boots (No. 1) now upon the table. There were on the whole 170,000 pairs of boots came from the Tower to Weedon. No. 3 and 4 were better than No. 2. Mr. Folkard was wrong in 213-int; that the last 10,000 boots sent for sale at the Tower were taken indiscriminately from the 170,000 re-inspected. He never saw any of Wright's patent boots at Weedon. He presumed there were other boots sold at the Tower besides these 20,000 pairs. Witness was under suspension at present owing to a dispute about Isaacs and Campbell's contract, but the discrepancy had just been rectified, which, he hoped, would lead to his restoration. He and Mr. Folkard were on perfect equality, and were on good terms with each other. They had a joint responsibility, and were respon sible for all undue rejections if there were any. Whenever contractors wished t 6 be informel of the reasons which led to the rejection of their goods, he had no objection to point out to the contractors the fault in the goods. The inspection now was as rigid as it ever was. The rejections were not now so numerous, which he attributed to a better de scription of goods being sent in. Witness had no reason to suppose that corruption existed at Wee don. He remembered Groves being suspended for not being sufficiently strict in passing goods, which he attributed to his eyesight failing him. He had read Witham's evidence, and that was the first he ever heard of Groves being bribed. He had no reason whatever to doubt the honesty of any of the viewers employed at Weedon. His salary now was £llO a year. He was a married man and had three children. He had no private means be yond what he got from his parents. He was, during Mr. Elliott's time, receiver, inspector, storekeeper, and issuer. He was Chief in three departments, and had no one to cheek him. He did not think that was a good system. Wm. Hall, a labourer, was then examined as to the casks of boots that were sent to the Tower—He saw the inspection going on. The boots were LORD . STA NTRY - ON- INDIA.- ' III P most liberal and enlightened member of Lord Derby's Administration has ,just delivered a - brief but pregnant address, - which shows th a t h e i s thoroughly penet ra t e d b y the true principles that should guide him in the arduous and responsible office he has undertaken. Lod the ~ Fishmongers' Hall ban que t, at beik te f_ h compressed and we are quite ready to indulge the hope—that the transfer which has taken place of the Indian Government, from. .the East India Company to the Executive of this country, may on the whole be .productive of benefit to India. As our readers are aware, we opposail that change, especially - in the form under which it was at first proposed to the " consideration of the Legislature. In the progress ..of the measure through Parliament it experienced many important..rnodifications ; and we are quite free to admitthaLifthetime had indeed come when transfer of power from the hands w:iich had so long wisely and successfully d it, could no longer be postponed, that transfer, in the shaiie it ;finally assumed, was effected in the mannvtleast liable to serious objection. Every iiew scheme of government depends mainly for its success on the . mode in which it is worked, and none whowitnessed the ability with which Lord Stanley conducted the measure in its final stages through Parliament, or have marked the fairness and discrimination which have characterised the subsequent appointments to the Council, can refuse to acknowledge that the ad ministration of Indian affairs can hardly be in better and safer hands than those of the present Secretary. The address to which we now draw attention will tend to confirm the favourable im pressions so generally entertained of Lord Stanley's eminent fitness for his difficult and responsible post. While expressing the hope, in which we cordially concur, that the change of system may tend to a larger introduction into India of Euro pean energy, enterprise, and thought, Lord Stan ley does not conceal from himself the in creased responsibilities which are thus thrown upon the Government of this country. "We have to guard against a double danger. We have to pro tect India from the fluctuations of Parliamentary politics, and to protect England from the more in direct and remote, but perhaps not less real, risk which may arise from the connection of its Execu tive with an Executive which is nece' sarily des potic." Those are wise and well-weighed words ; it would not be easy to describe in language more terse and comprehensive the true nature of the double difficulty which arises from the assumption by the British Crown of the single government of India. It is the difficulty which has been repeatedly pointed out in these columns, and against which we rather indulge the hope then entertain the convic tion, that the firmness of Government and the wis dom of Parliament will be found adequate to prevail. Those who consider the amount of power now vested in the Secretary for India, will find it difficult to regard with equanimity those possible conse quences of the parliamenta7 conlict of parties which might transfer in a mom. nt the supreme control over Indian affairs from the capable hands of Lord Stanley to the incapable hands of a Vernon Smith. It is probably, however, not too much to hope, even from the most reckless of governments, that their chiefs will in future show sonic adequate sense of the great importance of rightly filling the arduous post of Secretary for India. It it is to take the rank which from its difficulty and responsibility it ought henceforth to assume in the official hier archy, it will generally . .be regarded as a worthy prize of the highest mn.a aerial ambition, the test and reward of. the most consummate capacity fbr serving the Stilts.. It is onl' in his correct AppreciaCo of th© mid dangers likely to arise in this coun try from the working of the new system, that the young Secretary for India evinces his perfect com prehension of the true relative position of Englund and her great dependency. His rems ks upon the effects likely to be produced in India by those mistaken efforts to do good which have been in some quarters so inconsiderately urged on Government, are by no means the least statesman like portion of his address. These observations are so well expressed—they are so highly deserving of attention in themselves—so doubly deserving of at tention as coming from the Indian Minister—that it would be unpardonable not to give them all the prominence in our power. Lord Stanley, after ex pressing what we trust is a well-grounded hope that the exasperation of feeling which prevailed in this country against the natives of India is in course of gradual extinction with the cause to which it owed its origin, proceeded in the follow ing strain of wise and elevated liberality : I think, however, we should remember that it is not only from ill will or ill feelings on our part, but also from uninformed and misdirected efforts for doing good, that our influence and Government in India have been exposed to Caa;er. (Hear, hear.) 'We do, I believe, regard—and undoul t xlly we .ought to regard—the natives of India as persons towards whom it is our duty to feel good will, and fa. whose welfare it is our duty to labour ; but that is not enough. It is not enough t' regard them as objects upon. whom our benevolence may be exercised, or as persons upon whom it is in our power to operate important changes for good. 'We must to ,k upon them also as men with whom, and not against whom, wi have to wor'i—as men with feel ings of their o • n—;hear, hear)—as men who, although politically subject to us, have a sense of their own rights and a respect for their own independence—(hear, hear)—and as men who will be apt to be all the more tenacious of their intellectual independence and national customs because of the political subjection in which they arc held. (Hear.) There can be no doubt that the position of a conquering and • governing race confers many advantages as regards ' the influence which may be exercised over a conquered people ; but that position carries with it this disadvantage —that a conquering race almost inevitably. displays a certain sense of superiority—a certain arrogance, if that be not too harsh a word to use—a certain disregard of the feelings of others, which, not being placed under such circumstances, it is hardly possible for us to under stand. Ido not hesitate to say that, unless we keep within proper bounds our feeling of national superiority, unless we remember carefully, and even jealously, to respect the feelings, a ‘.(l oven the prejudices of those with whom we have to deal—above all, if we attempt to introduce the fi r.e and influence of Government into that which ought to be matter of private conviction between man and his own conscience, or if we are even sus pected, upon plausible grounds, of attempting or intending it, our endeavours at improvement will be thrown back in our face as insults, and we shall end by doing more harm than good." (Hear, hear.) These are the sentiments of a true Statesman and an enlightened Christian. There can be no greater mistake than that of confounding the ancient and corrupt semi-civilisation of India with the • gross and simple savagery of African, or Australian, or Poly nesian aboi igin FS. The profound and dreamy idealism of Hindoo philosophy—the immemorial fixity of Hindoo usages, the impure but imposing ceremonial of Hindoo superstition, which pervades life from the cradle to the grave—these things are not to be ignored, but to be deeply meditated by the dominant nation to whose destiny it has fallen to rule over the millions of India. It is not with simple natures, or unfurnished minds, that the European Government of India or the Christian Missionaries of India have to deal. In many a broad province of that vast region there are still to be found fierce and intractabl souls, reluctantly succumbing to an inevitable yoke •, everywhere there is to be . encountered great subtlety of dis putation ; an ardent attachment to ancient insti tutions ; a bigoted and intense devotion to a religion which not only affects to teach the mysteries of Thnogony and the ceremonies of worship, but pre, scribes the bounds of society and regulates the forms of life. Among such a people as this the arrogance of a dominant race, if imported into missionary effort, must necessarily produce effects the most disastrous. Lord Stanley has touched upon a truth of universal history when he reminds us that races held in political subjection are on that very account all the more tenacious:.of their intellectual independence and national customs: The fear that the •political subjection in which we hold India was about to be organised in an uni versal ascendancy over the opinions, the modes of belief, and the social habits of our Asiatic subjects— this, more than any other single cause, was really at the root of what we may now venture to call the late insurrection. It is on all ground s a matter of public c congratulation task o thatf inaugurating the Minister th e to whom sy whom is entrusted s 7 tnn. of Indian government should have had the statesmanlike boldness, explicitly to insist upon the duty of respecting not only the feelings but even the prejudices of those whom it is ou r high destiny to rule, and to utter a solemn warning against any attempt "to introduce the force and influence of Government into that which ought to be matter of private conviction betw een man an d h' s own con science: raiND.lily News. - - - - - 83,031 :.%#~i
