COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE LOW.-THE DISCUSSION FORUM. This was an application for certificate by Edward Low, of the Green Dragon, licensed victualler, at which tavern meet ings for the discussion of political questions were held, which so excited the ire of certain French writers. Mr. Pollock, for the assignees, said the whole of the pro perty had been seized under an execution by the bankrupt's brother, under a judgment dated many years back, and the balance-sheet was mere guess work. He thought the certi ficate should be of the lowest class. His Honour said that that was the only one he could grant under the circumstances. CITY SHERIFFS COURT. (Beforo Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) DIAR V. POTT. Plaintiff sued for £2llos. 4d. rent of a furnished house and hire of a wardrobe. Defendant pleaded the house was infested with bugs, and not habitable. The case was tried by a jury, who returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Clark, solicitor, now moved for a new trial on the ground that the verdict of the jury was contrary to evidence —that the jury considered that the only question before them was, whether the rent was payable in advance, and upon that ground gave their verdict for the defendant. Mr. Gifford, counsel for the defendant, objected on the ground that the whole facts and circumstances of the case were under the consideration of the jury, and they could not return a different verdict. His Honour said he had never seen a case better con ducted. It was before the jury five and a-half hours, and he saw no reason for disturbing the verdict. His Honour said he would follow the rule laid down- by the Superior Courts of law, that although the verdict might be contrary to his own opinion, another jury might return the same verdict, and he would rather adhere to the verdict already returned by the jury, unless it could be shown that there was an improper verdict and an uifair trial. His Honour refused the motion for a new trial. SUN OFFICE, Sevcn o' Clock. NEWMARKET RACES. POLICE INTBLLIGENCE.( This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SWEEPSTAKES OF 5 SOUS. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Jessy Cole and Mary Ann Davis, two prostitutes and well-known thieves, were charged with stealing a pin, and the latter with an assault. The prosecutor, William Tall, said he was in the Blue Posts publichouse, Charlotte-street, Tottenham-court-road, when the two prisoners came in, and Davis wanted to have some conversation with him, but he declined to do so. The other female, Cole, then asked him to stand something, and on his refusing the prisoner Davis immediately made a snatch at his pin, which she refused to give up, but at tempted to leave the house. He then seized her to prevent her, and, after a struggle between them, she dropped the pin on the floor, it being broken in the struggle. Not satis fied with this, she seized a pint pot from the counter and struck him a violent blow on the head with it, causing a lump on his head as large as a walnut. Davis said she never touched the pin, and as to hitting the prosecutor on the head, having been drinking, she did not remember it. Rhisus 2 Eltham Beauty Mr. Bingham said it was rather too bad to begin with :minorities, and then when the prosecutor tried to get back what belonged to him, to bit him on the head with a pint pot. He should discharge Cole, and inflict a fine of 40s. on Davis for the assault. 100 Agra&UnitedServiceßk 50 40 Australasia all 90 92 871 25 Bank of Egypt all 23 1 231 24 100 ' Bank of London 5O 45 47 40 Brit.

I,ast evening an accident occurred at the Grecian Saloon, City-road, which might have been attended with the most fatal results. In consequence of the entertainments being for the farewell benefit of Mr. R. Phillips, an immense audience assembled, and everything went on successfully until about 10 o'clock, when a cry of " Fire I" was heard, and in an instant the greatest alarm prevailed. One of the side lamps had by some mischance ignited a small portion of the scenery. The flame tbeing visible from the front, a number of persons rushed from the theatre into the gardens. The fire was instantly extinguished, and the audience were assured that there was not the slightest occasion for alarm, and that the only source of danger was that which might be caused by any great number of persons attempting hastily to quit the building. This timely caution had the desired effect ; many persons who were preparing to rush to the doors, resumed their seats, and the performance proceeded to the close without further interruption. The accident was caused, we believe, :by the falling of one of the side lamps against a piece of gauze, which was painted to represent a window. As this kind of fabric, so much of which is used in the _ _ atrical scenery, is so easily rendered non-inflammable— merely dipping it in alum and water—it is to be regretted that the managers do not, as a general rule, apply so sim• ple a process to all light fabrics, used, either in dresses or decorations. It is a fortunate circumstance that this accident was so speedily remedied ; had it been otherwise the conse quences would have been terrible, as the audience was the most numerous that had ever assembled since the building of the theatre► LINES LEASED AT FIXED REN' Railways, tin ikT.W Ln & N.W Calcdonin E.U.&E C Gt.

A DESERTED WIFE AND A PROTECTION ORDER.-Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, applied to Mr. Yardley for an order to protect the goods, chattels, and money of a respectable woman named A'2ll Robarts, wife of Charles Henry Ro barts, a shipwright, who deserted her five years ago. Mr. Smith said that his client was mulled to her husband on the 13th of October, 1845, and owing to his ill-usage and immoral conduct they lived very unhappily together until four years and eight months ago, when he abandoned her and her child and went to sea. The woman had since maintained herself and her surviving child by her own industry, and was living with her mother at No, 15, Margaret-street, Commercial-road East, and by her own industry had obtained a comfortable home. Mr. Yardley—When did the woman last see her hus- band ? Mr. Smith—Four days ago she saw him for the first time since he deserted her. He looked up at the window of her apartment, and walked onwards. The woman is fearful he may disturb her and her home, and wants protection. Mr. Yardley said there was very strong evidence of deser tion in this case, and that the woman, having maintained herself and child so long without any assistance from her husband, deserved protection. He granted the order. Mrs. Robarts was then sworn, and the order made outs UNFEELING CONDUCT OF A MISTRESS.—A most re spectable and engaging young woman, whose right arm was bandaged, came before Mr. Yardley, and said she had been in the service of a lady in Colchester-street, White chapel, and haN;ng the misfortune to cut her arm, while cleaning windows, was instantly discharged by her mistress. Mr. Yardley asked the young woman if she had been paid her wages, because she was entitled to a month's notice or a month's wages. The applicant replied that her wages were only £6 per annum, and as the place did not suit her she gave warning. a fortnight ago. There was a fortnight's wages due to her yesterday, and her mistress paid her that, and another fortnight's in addition. Mr. Yardley—Then you have no further claim upon her for wages. Police Sergeant Cleary, No. 8 11, said the young woman had received a most serious wound. The conduct of the mistress was most unfeeling. The young woman came to the station house last night and he advised her to apply to the magistrate. It was very unfeeling conduct indeed. Mr. Yardley—Well I can't say you have desi g nated the conduct of the mistress incorrectly, but I cannot punish her for dismissing her servant. The magistrate then asked her if she had any relatives or friends here. The applicant replied that she was a native of Ireland and that her name was Kate Connell. She had no relations or friends in this country. Mr. Yardley—Have you any money? The applicant—Yes, sir, 75. which I received from my mistress yesterday. Mr. Yardley—You must make that go as far as possible, and when it is gone come here and I will give you some thing from the poor box fund. The magistrate then directed Howland, No. 89 H, to direct his attention to this case, and obtain the young woman's admission to the London Hospital, where her case would, no doubt, receive proper surgical treatment. The young woman, who was in great pain, expressed her gratitude to the magistrate, and left the court with How land. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EiCHANGE.

" I am beholden to you for the compliment you have been pleased to pay me by asking my opinion respecting the two letters you addressed the Stir ling Observer, touching the important question of the religious policy of Government in India, and I shall not fail to communicate to you my sentiments thereupon. "In the letter headed Mahommedans and Hin doos versus Christians' you state that, these Mahom medans and Hindoos having kept to their religion for the long period of 1,400 years, there is little chance of converting them to Christianity. The Mahommedan religion is only 1,261 years old, for Mahommed first preached his doctrines at Mecca in the year of Christ 597. Three hundred and twenty-seven years before Christ Alexander in vaded India, where he found Hindooism the esta blished religion of the country, and it existed here for many centuries before. " Though ' we the Hindooo community differ with the Christian missionaries in opinion that Hin dostan will one day be included in Christendom,' yet it is impossible to say what change it may please God to effect in the religious faith of this land some hundred years hence. When Jesus of Nazareth first taught his tenets to the obscure fishermen of Galilee the man would have been pro nounced as bereft of his wits who would have pre dicted that the many nations of the earth who now profess Christianity would 1,800 years thence fol low that religion. The Christians believe in eel.; tarn prophecies, many of which they observe have been verified by subsequent events, and who can calculate, say they, what result the efforts of the missionaries may produce upon the Hindoo nation centuries hence ? "To allow every man to practise the rites and ceremonies of his religion and to act up to the prin cipl es laid down therein for his guidance, so long as he does not inflict any injury to the life, person, and property of his neighbours, is the rule which has invariably been followed by the local Government, ever since the establishment of British supremacy in India. And as the missionary conscientiously believes that it is his duty to benefit the Hindoos by preaching to them what he devoutly thinks to be the Word of God, it would be offering violence to his religion were the Government to prevent his doing so. " Moreover, the dis interested wish of the mis sionaries to promote the weal of my countrymen, as indicated by the numerous charity schools and col leges they have established, and keep up from funds raised among the members of their communion in Europe and America, the purity of the lives they lead operating as living examples of morality upon all who come in contact with them (and their inter course with the native population is more frequent and familiar than that of other foreigners), the smile of genuine affection with which the mission ary invariably meets the Hindoo when they meet one another, the unalloyed sympathy he evinces towards them, the consolation he offers in his hour of anxiety and distress when applied to, the aid and advice he is sure to afford him in all cases, whether the ailment be of the body or mind, have conduced to make the missionaries the most liked and trusted of all foreigners in our native community ; you are, therefore, mistaken in thinking that Brahmins have, in conjunction with the fanatic Mahommedans, vowed death to every one who dares to become a Christian.' When a person among us abjures the Hindoo faith and embraces Christianity, he stands in the position of a man in your country who, born a Protestant, becomes a proselyte to the Roman Catholic faith; but no one dreams, either here or in Scotland, of murdering him. The Ma hommedan and the Brahmin can never properly or cordially agree as long as the Mahommedan is a Mahommedan ; for the latter (Brahmin) can never forget, though he can forgive, the wholesale mas sacres, the desecration of temples, the violation of women, and the grinding tyranny of 900 years. " The Hindoo and the Mahommedan, it is true, have leagued in the mutinous districts and with the rebellious army against the British Government, not because the Government is composed of Chris tians, but because as native subjects of a foreign Government they believe they have common griev ances to complain of, for which the misguided wretches foolishly despaired of obtaining redress. There is a Hindoo proverb which runs to the effect that neither the bald-headed man is good, nor is the tamarind sweet.' By the bald-headed man is implied the Mahommedan, for all the orthodaw men of that persuasion shave their heads, and tama rind, you know, is very acid I can cite to you hun dreds of such adages. " The fact should not be lost sight of that all ser vants of Government, whether Christian or Hindoo s if believed to be faithful to the interests of Govern ment, have been alike ill-treated by the rebels, and it has been ascertained that the natives of Bengal in tho North-Woct provinces, because of their observed leaning towards the British Government, have fared the worst during these turmoils wherever they fell into the hands of those miscreants. " You mention Lord Shaftesbury and others of London as busying themselves to get up a Chris tianising crusade to India. So far as I have read of the proceedings of the societies with which that nobleman is connected, or his public speeches, there has been nothing to warrant this idea in any bad or objectionable sense. His lordship and friends never advocated the compulsory conversion of my coun trymen to Christianity, but have always been the foremost among the nobility and gentry of Britain to promote the cause of morality, sound education, and as those generous men conscientiously believe, of true religion in Hindostan. Pprsonally, of course, I know nothing of Lord Shaftesbury, but I cannot allow the opportunity to escape without recording my grateful sense, as well as that of all those of my compatriots who had the means of knowing them, of his invaluable services to Hindostan. " Allow me to repeat, you err in thinking that religion has been at the bottom of all these atroci ties.' I assure you, sir, that religion in the way in which you seem to imagine has had nothing to do with this rebellion whatever. You seem to be under the impression that the former policy of the India, Company not to admit missionaries into their pos sessions was a wise one, and to those changes in their policy which have subsequently been made may be ascribed the sole cause of these disasters.' The former policy you advert to was, in my decided opinion, unjust alike to the missionaries and to my countrymen, inasmuch as it deprived the former of all means of exercising here the duties enjoined on them by their religion, which in plain English was an infringement of one of their essential rights as subjects—a right the possession and free use of which has never been known within the last 80 years to have done here an iota of harm to a n y living being whatsoever, but, on the contrary, has tended materially to raise the British character in the estimation of our community by presenting to view the only foreigners who tread the soil of Hind on the noble errand of disinterestedly doing good to her children ; its injustice to our people could only be calculated by holding before the mind's eye the benign and salutary influence which the inter course of the missionaries with our people has exer cised upon their manners, the vast benefits they have conferred upon the populace by gratuitously imparting to thousands the blessi n g s of improved education, who, but for their labour of love, would have grovelled in darkness and starvation, and the impetus their righteous examples have given to the cause of moral and social progress wherever they have made their sojourn. Let us, also, bear in mind the circumstance that, in a country like this, where the Government is despotic, the people are denied all voice in the administration, the press exists only in a few cities, principally in a foreign language, and, with two or three exceptions, pro fessedly as the organ of foreigners, and its use and advantages are totally unknown to the bulk of the people, the existence of so independent a body as the missionaries, the sacred nature of whose calling entitles them unreservedly to point out their faults and merits to all men, whether in high places or low, operates as a check against the abuse of power. The ancient Hindoo aristocracy, who felt both pride and pleasure in promoting native arts and encouraging native learning, having nearly dwindled and vanished wherever the British have planted their rule in Hindostan, as the inevitable result of a system which excludes the children of the soil from all high offices of trust and emolument in the State which formerly belonged to them, the Brahmins have lost the patrons who enabled them to maintain the many thousands of tols and pat sholus (i. -e., Sanscrit colleges and vernacular schools) which provided gratuitous education, with board, to the poor throughout the whole length and breadth of the land ; and to prohibit the mission aries, who in a great measure fill the places of the learned Brahmins as regards the charitable distri bution of knowledge to our indigent population, would be to deprive them of advantages, for the loss of which, under the present state of things, no thing could compensate. " From what you have said in a letter, headed How India is to be governed,' it is evident that you suppose the people of this country to be under the impression that Government or others intend in some improper way to Christianise them. Per mit me to observe that this is a mistake ; for Hindu stan is a country not inhabited by irrational savages, but by the Hindoos, who, in all ages, have enjoyed the credit of being V cemp4r4trfely to make a distinction between coercive interference with religion and appeal to reason. The mission aries have never authoritatively or coercively inter fered with our religion ; all that they do is to address our understanding and conscience, and where is the harm, therefore, of our hearing them? If any of our countrymen feel convinced that his adoption of the Christian faith is the best mode of attaining beatitude, there is no physical or legal hindrance to his doing so—it is a question between him, his conscience, and his Maker. Why should the Hindoo nation work up into a frenzy, originate a rebellion, and endanger the public safety, because one, or some of its members, has or have of his or their free will and accord forsaken the national creed and embraced that of Jesus ? The cry that has been raised by the rebels against the Govern ment or any others, alleging that religion has been forcibly or fraudulently interfered with, is utterly hollow and unfounded, and I beg you will give no credence to it and point out to your friend its fallacy. " From the tenor and purport of both your letters published in the Stirling Observer, it appears that you take the Brahmins to be a class of cruel intolerant, and unprincipled men. This wholesale denunciation against the reverend Hindoo clergy is erroneous and undeserved, you must be judging of the whole race from some of the sad occurrences connected with the recent mutinies. Of course among millions there must be thousands less reput able than others ; and amid the horrors of mutiny and rebellion the worst passions are sure to be stirred up ; it was so even in France, said to be the politest country in the world. Past and present history do not afford any data to support this accu sation of the Brahmins as a race. The Brahmins, and more especially that large and more influen tial section of them that has been hereditarily de voted to literary and philosophical pursuits, far from being cruel, are proverbially distinguished for their gentleness and humanity. Some of them carry their doctrine of kindliness so far that they reckon it an inexpiable sin to hurt any sentient being whatever, for they believe that to love God and his creatures is the chiefest of virtues. As to toleration, they are ever ready to listen to what any one has to say who proposes to communicate any knowledge, whether sacred or profane, and to hate any person for entertaining sentiments con trary to their own is altogether foreign to their na ture. There have existed in Hindostan from time immemorial various sects of dissenters from the established religion, and some of them went to the length of denying even the existence of the Supreme Being without experiencing any hindrance or mo lestation from their countrymen. Among us it is considered the height of folly to persecute a man for his opinion. Fraud, oppression, and cruelty are means unsuited to produce conviction, or to help the propagation of theories. They are instruments the holy Brahmin would never stoop to think of much less to touch ; they were chose n, used, and recommended by the Mahommedans, but found a the least favour in the eye of the Ilindoos. " The worship of Almighty God in his unity is the fundamental principle of the ancient Hindoo reli gion, and the errors and misconception of ages have encrusted thereon pantheism and polytheism, idolatry and superstition, which I grieve to say are now received and believed by the mass of the peo ple as the tenets of their creed. There are very few even among the Brahmins, who comprehend their ancient faith, and such as do, abstain from the afore said abominations, but as to those who do not (and they form the majority), their bitterest enemies can never with justice lay the charge of hypocrisy or insincerity at their door. As regards their cha racter, it is such as to command the love and adora tion of the Hindoo community, and would be held in like estimation by our brethren in Europe had they equal opportunities of knowing its excellen cies ...laving to the best of my humble power an swered your letter, I conclude with the prayer that may God, in His infinite mercy, forgive us all our sins—may He so enlighten the understanding of His children all over the earth as to enable us to see the errors of our ways, to comprehend the heinousness of the crime of fratricide, i.e., of waging war against one another. May the Universal Father so purify our hearts as that we, living with each other in brotherly affection, may mutually help in teaching, learning, and practising the dictates of true religion, and thereby glorify Him who exalted us above all living beings by endowing us with a mind to reason and a heart to love.

A wit ness named Wm. Cave said about half-past 12 in the morn ing, as he was passing along Deanegate,. he saw the prisoner looking at a policeman who was removing a drunken man, and the deceased was also looking on. The prisoner had a walking-stick in his right hand, and sliding the other end through his left, he deliberately forced it into the left eye of the deceased, who fell upon the pavement in a state of in sensibility in consequence of the mjury. The unfortunate man, who was carried to the infirmary soon afterwards, had never spoken to the prisoner, and the act appeared to have been entirely unprovoked. The magistrates remanded the prisoner for further examination. It appears that the stick destroyed the eye and penetrated the brain. The unfortu nate man survived the injury about 12 hours. He was ap parently a man in great poverty, his clothes being in a very ragged state, but his friends had not come forward to iden tify him, and his name was 'unknown to the police. LILT.—In old Scotch songs and ballads there is always something which is familiar to every Scotchman, and which he calls the lilt. We never find it in old English songs and ballads. This may be partly accounted for by the greater sensibility of the Scotch ear to music. But there is a deeper reason. The Scotch are a nation of dancers ; the English are not. To those who dwell in plains dancing is an amusement; with mountaineers it is a passion. The Frenchman dances from the exuberance of gaiety, the Spaniard because he is drunk with the mountain air. The American Indian, who is neither drunk nor a mountaineer, dances in order to recall those horrible deeds of blood in which he revels. It may not be too fanciful to suppose that the spring and the swing . of the mountaineer are largely reproduced in his dancing movements, which at first were no doubt simply a musical mode of ex pending his superabundant energy. In Scotch ballads and songs the lilt is an echo to the dance. Hence, the songs should never be sung or the ballads recited without a har monious motion of the whole body, and as if they were danced by every throbbing, thrilling vein rather than breathed by the lips. There are snatches of ballad and of son g in which the mere lilt enchants me more than the richest or the sweetest tune. The lilt is a kind of melodious accentuation it is the successive angles of sound so crowned with flowers that they cease to be angles If pe culiar to Scotland, we should see therein the sudden and rapid outbursts of fervour in a most earnest people subdued one after one, into softness by mystic voices from mountain caves and from the caverns of the imaginative soul. Ap proach the Scotchman, and you find a harsh battler • but drop into his heart the mag ic of the lilt, not gorgeous Phan tasies or melting tones, but something which has power and a meaning for no heart except his, and the blast of the north changes into the zephyr, without the incense of which the mighty Panto the choral march of ten thousand spheres would )3,9t be completo.— 77w 1
