London, &c., &c. the essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con iemences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, vliich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in SI in good, 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 condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the besith, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is eatitleu. It le absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are pr;nciples of personal management which cannot be violated with o tt incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ce,i the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of theft iiitterners may he removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe 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 cure.

This was nothing but lies on their part, because the Government never issued the new cartridges to them at all ;the old hlank cartridges that they had been in the ha bit of using were alone issued ; no new rifles had been issued to any except the depot s, so why should the Government have issued cartii , lges ? When the regiments at Meerut heard that the 19th had been disbanded for, as they thought, Lbj:cting to touch the new cartridges, they came to the determination to mutiny. Then the commanding officers began to promise their men that they should never be forced to use the rifle ; but the sepoys would not believe them, but called them liars, firmly believing what their countrymen and comrades told them. At this time the whole were alike in a state of mutiny. " The force at Meerut having mutinied, and mur dered as many officers as they could, went off o the King of Delhi and proclaimed him King. They told him that the whole army had thrown off their allegiance to the' British, and were now at his dis • posal ; ' So now,' said the native officers, 'you are our chosen and hereditary King. Give the order, and we will - make arrangements to fight these Cdffres of English.' " The King of Delhi has had very little inter course with the world, and still lets with the native army, except latterly for treasonable purposes ; but he readily believed what the troops told him, and at once proclaimed himself King, and prepara tions to fight were at once commenced. When the troops at Cawnpore beard what was going on at Delhi they mutinied, and were ready to march to Delhi, but the traitor Nana Sahib, having taken up arms, cruelty them to stay with hin t . TAtt acts of cruelty perfoimed by this fiend are now patent to all. This wretch thought that by the change of government he would become one of the manates of the land. It was he who ordered the sepoys to kill all the Europeans, their wives, and their little I don't teink the sepoys would have killed their officers had the Nana Sahib not instigated thew to do so ; but in Hindostan one man acts as his fellow does. "In due course of time the regiments at Dina pore mutinied, and pit themselves under a Rajpoot sirdar, Kooer Singh, of Jugdespore. Wi h these three regiments Kooer Singh thought himielf strong enough to defy the Englis!!, and he proclaimed himself Rajah of Shahabad, which title be retained for about a week. At the time of this mutiny I was with the heid-qUarters of my corps at Patna, and 1 did all iu my power to prevent the sepoys from mutinying, but to no purpose ; they looked always upon me as not one of their own brotherhood. When I knew the time had arrived for these regi ments to mutiny I reported the circumstance t my commanding officer and ths Commissioner of Patna, Mr. Wm. Taylor, and these gentlemen made their arrangements to prevent the city of Patna front rising. My early information enabled all the Europeans and their families to as semble at the Commissioner's house, and all ditl to show my loyal y, both at Patna and Diva pore, are well known to the authorities at thoe places, and doubtless this has been reported to the Government, as I have been handsomely rewarded. " It is perhaps heedless for me to state that since the English cunt) to Hindostan they have always been most particular in no interfering with the re ligion and prejudices of the people, but in my humble opinion they have erred in only entertaining high caste people in their army. I leally believe that had the inferior castes been entertained, as is the pract'es in the Bombay army, th 3 rebellion never would have reached the height it has done. What can it, signify, as long as a young man'is of the re quisite physique, whether he is of a high or low caste ? I believe had the men of low caste been en tertained they would have done anything or gone anywhere the Government &tired. A mixture of creeds is highly essential in a native army to pre vent disturbances. " Another reason (and in my opinion a very seri ous one) why the army became mutinous and dis affected is this. Promotion all went by seniority, and not, as it ought, according to merit and profi ciency. All the old men, from length of service worth nothing as commissioned or non-commissioned offi cers, received promotion, while younger men, iu every way fit, languished in their lines, t-ayinl, ' What use is there in us exerting ourselves ; we cannot get-promotion till our turn comes, and that time can't copse until our heads are gray and our mouths toothless.' For this reason the sepoys forth° most part drew their pay, and were careless with. regain to thiyi -Tricrfrigfietrants of the if awe army, from old age alone, were quite incapacitited from doing their duty even had they the will to do it. I stste confidently that the generality of native officers were an encumbrance t, the State; iusteadof commanding sepoys the se;,oys commanded them, and instead of the commissioned and non-commis soned ranks preventing the men from mutinying, they rather persuaded them to do so. I. will now endeavour to explain why the feelings and intentions of the sepoys did not be come known to their European officers. In former times the officers used to keep native women, and constantly had the native offi •ers and Sep Sys in their society, and did more to please them. The women exercised a good deal of influ ence in the regiment. This was all in accordance with the feelings of the Sepoys. By acting in this way the officers did good service to the Govern ment, because they bee Imo better acquain'ed wi . h the character of their men, and with what was go ing on in the lines. In latter times this has not been the case. It appears me, the officers who have been appointed to the service within the lax 20 years ale better educated than the officers of former times were. I think more books have been pub fished lately. Now the officers marry English ladies, and there is less in common between the officers and Sepoys ; of late years the Sepoys have not confided in their officers. The consequence of all this has been, that when the mutiny broke out the officers were misinformed as to its extent. I have ever been in the habit of keeping my corn m-inding officer informed of all that occurs. If all native officers did likewise the army could not mutiny. " I tog to state that in my opinion the natives of Ilindostan are only fit ted for militia of police, for this simple reask n—that they are averse to serve in any other country than their own, for the Government must be well aware that no regiment has ever gone on board ship without showing more or less discontent. "In my opinion the Santhals would make ex cellent material for soldiers. I have seen men like the Santbals, who are of opinion that everything the Almighty has been pleased to make must be good, and consequently eat anything : they hwe• no prejudices of caste or religion to fight against'; for this reason I conclude they would do anything and go anywhere the Government desires. It is true these men are savages, but they could be taught, even as other men are, for it is a well known fact that 'civilisation"„begets civilisation.' "I consider that I ought to know the feelings of the late native army. In 1763 my grandfather was in the service of the British, and in due course became and died a subadar. My father was born in the army, and accompanied it every where until he became a man. He entered the ser vice in 3801, and died a subadar in 1853. I was accustomed to hear of former times from his own lips,- From the time of my birth I accompanied my , father wherever his regiment went, and in his regi ment I was enlisted. Both my grandfather and father, as well as . myself, were in the same corps. I rose to be havildar major of my regiment, and then, through the interest of Captain Rattray, had the good fortune to get transferred to the Bengal Police Battalion, where I have risen to the rank of suba dar and sirdar bahadoor. For the above reasons all the doings of the army and the customs thereof are well known to me. My home has ever been with my regiment, and I have never known any other, and I look on the Sirkar Company as my guardian.

THE CAUSES OF THE INDIAN MUTINY. The following important paper, receivel by the last mail from Calcutta, is headed " A. few words relative to the late mutiny of the Bengal army and the rebellion in the Bengal Presidency, by Shaik Hedavut Ali, anhadar and ?irclar bahadoor, Bengal Sikh Police Battalion, commanded by Captain T. Rattray, who has translated this paper from the original Oordeo " I cl , em it my duty, as far it lies in my power, to explain what has led to th© disaffection lately, so ..trireryisift.. - evinced both be thg-mti-;.,...xisylfra many of the sirdars or chieftains throughout Sin dostan. " It is well known to the British Government, and to all the world, that the country of Hindostan in former times was almost solely inhabited by people of Hindoo persuasion, and that many years afterwards the I\l ihomedans conquered the country; and it is also well known that the Hindoos are pro verbi illy foolish on the score of religion, and deem no religion equal to their own. " To the best of my belief and understanding, the first symptoms of disaffection to the British Go vernment on the part of the Sepoys were shown in 1833, when an army from Hindostan was ordered Cabul. When this army crossed the Indus to At took the Sepoys became discontented, grumbling, and angry. They heard that when Rajah Mann Sing, Wuzeer of one of the former emperors of Delhi, crossed the Indus to wage war with the Affghans he caused all the Brahmins to take off their janeo, or sacred thread worn by Brahmins and emblematic of their caste, and told all his men that the Hindoo religion extended no further than the Indus. Maun Sing built a temple on the other side the Indus, and in this temple the Brahmins were directed to suspend their janeo. This fact is well known to all Hindoo3, whether literate or the reverse. " One of the customs of the Hindoos is never to eat or conk their food until they have battled and gone through o:lier forms of their religion. When, in 1838-39, the army reached Affghanistan, the Hindoos left off bathing and the performance of other acts which their form of reigion dem rnded on account of the extreme cold, to which they were unaccustomed. " Whatever they purchased in the bazaar for their daily food they were compelled to take from the hands of Mahomedans, because in the Cabul country all the Buneeahs, with few exceptions, are of the Mahomedan faith. The Hindoos being obliged, as above stated, to abstain from certain acts of their religion (bathing, which to a Hindoo is almost as necessary as his daily food), and to re ceive their bread from the hands of Mahomedans, fancied they had lost their caste, and had been forced to become Mahomedans ; they therefore be came much dissati-fied and disgusted. " When the winter set in at °abut the Hindos tanee Sepoys suffered much from the snow and cold. The commanding officers, pitying their condi tion, gave to each man a posteen or jacket, made of sbeepskin, the wool worn inwards. The sepoys at the time pretended much to be pleased with the posteens, but really in their hearts wore much displeased, because no Hindoo, except of lowest caste, likes to touch the skin of a dead animal. Fearing to object, they consented to wear them. They thought and talked openly among themselves, We must not show our anger and discontent in this country, because if we do we shall never be able to return to Hindustan, and we cannot live in this country ; so they kept quiet, only to show their anger and discontent on a more opportune occasion. They, moreover, thought that, even if they did mutiny in that country, and killed all the English, they would be no better off, becaus 3 the Affghans would compel them to become Ma homedans. Many Sepoys of the 27th and 54th Native Infantry, who were wounded and taken prisoners, were converted to Mahomedanism. Don't let any English gentleman think that the above is not true, because they were not acquaintel with it at the time. A native of Hindustan solemn opens his mind to bis officer—he only says what he thinks would please his offi,ler. The sepoys reserve their real opinion until they return to their lines and to their comrades. " When the English returned to Ferozepore in 1842 1 was there with the light company of my regiment (the Bth Native Infantry), in which my father was a subadar. Eight light c',)mpanies were formed into one regiment, and were under orders for Affghanistan, but were never sent. I was then a private. I visited nearly all the regiments that had returned from Cabul, having many friends and acquaintances in them. The sepoys of all the regi ments were displeased at having been sent to Calail, and said of themselves that by going to Cabul they had become outcasts to their religion, by having been compelled to clothe themselves with the skins of animals, to abstain from bathing, and other acts demanded by their religion, in consequence of the country being so unfitted for Hindoes on account of the great cold, and the whole country boing Mahomedans. " The Mahomedans of the regiments were dis pleased because they said the BiLish Government had forced them to fight against people of their own creed, which was forbidden in the Koran. For saying this a subadar of the 27th Native Infantry was shot to death by musketry. The Mahomedans always boasted among themselves how they had evaded the English order by never taking aim when they fired. " None of the Ilindoos in Hindostan would eat with their comrades who went to Affghanistan, n would they even allow them to touch their cooking utensils ; they looked upon them all as outcasts, and treated them accordingly. It was said that the sepoys of the 27th Native Infantry who were shut up in Ghuznee were all compelled to become Mahomedans. " At Forozerore, Za!im Sing, a subadar in the 71st Native Infantry, told the men of the 35th -Light Infantry thAt ,thay- had-Jokitt, hair caste .itid become Mahomedans, and that consequently none of their comrades could eat or smoke with them. For this• offence he was tried by general court mai tial and dismissed the service. When the sepoys of other regiments heard how the s pods who went to Affghanistan were treated by their own com rades, and heard what hardships they had under gone in Affghanistan, they became exceedingly dissatisfied and displeased with the Government for having ordered them there, and determined ou the first favourable opportunity to show their feelings. " The first symptoms of mutiny broke out in the 64th Native Infantry, who were ordered to Scinde on their arrival at Sukhar, and I believe previous to their arrival there they mutinied about their pay. The 7th Light eivally and several other regiments showed a most mutinous spirit, but byona hanging a few men in the 64th, and trans porting and dismissing others, the Government took but little notice of the bad feeling evinced. "Some years after this the British went to war with the Sikhs, and annexedthePunjab to their do minions. On the annexation the native army occu pied the country, and the Sepoys received double batta as long as they remained in the Punjab, but the Bri . ish Government never openly proclaimed how long batta would be granted. From avarice and love of money th e se p o y s lik e d serv i ng i n the ben t t h nn e e re t g l i ,e m y en w t e s re in re t l h i e et• P ed uu b j y lb ot h h a e d r served Punjab. a c 1 e V r regiments from Hindost an. The relieving regiments were not all i p wed double batta, but drew what they would have drawn in their own provinces. "This was looked upon as a great grievance. For this reason the 66th at Unoriteir mutinied and were dish. ivied, and in my humble opinion was very pro perly treated ; for if an army is faithless to its salt and can decide as to ;he proper amount of pay it is to receive, of what good is it ? It is right fur every one to receive according to his deserts. The 32d and. 22d Native infantry also showed symptoms'of mu tiny, but they were hushed up. The Government must be well aware that when a soldier has once or twice shown a disposition to mutiny he is useless as a soldier, one mutinous sepoy infects his whole com pany, and gradually one man after ano her, either from fear or sympathy, joins the mutineers. " It is very necessary when any sepoy or sepoys mutiny that the commanding officer of the regiment should' report fully the whole circumstance to the Government ; how otherwise can Government be e,.me aware of the fact, and make proper arrange ments to prevent the mutinous feeding from sprea ;ing ? " Many commanding officers to my knowledge reported their regiments all right when they knew that there were discontent and bad feeling in the ranks, and to my belief, for the sake of the name of Weir' felyeetave regiments eotei'lealed - the real state.of their regiments until at length the sepoys took to murdering their officere "I feel perfectly convinced that up to the pre sent time the real cause of the mutiny, and the feeling of the country generally against the British rule, is not well known to the State. It is for this reason that I am now taking the liberty of expres sing my views on the subject. " I will now attempt to explain why the Birders and higher classes of Ilindostan became disoffected to the B. itish Government. " In 1849 or 1850 the authorities at Sabarunpore caused a large hospital .o be built for the sick of all creeds and persuasions. The principal authori ties (I purposely abstain from giving names, al though I could do so) issued a proclamation saying that all sick men or w. men, high or low, ‘puidalt nisheen' ( t h ose who never go out in public), or others, must resoit to this hospital for treat meat, and all native practitioners were forbidden to pre scribe or attend sick • sic people. When the meaning of this proclamation was explained to the chief people they collected many men together for the purpose of making a disturbance, for ;hese people imagined in their ignotance that it was the inten tion of the British to take away the dignity and honour of all ; on . his account they became angry and excited, and determined to offer opposition, but for want of arms they could do nothing. When the authorities saw the bad feeling the proclama tion had produced they withdrew it, and the ex citement fora time subsided. " A year or two after this my regiment, the Bth Native Infantry, was cantoned at Shahjehanpore. I was in the habit of visiting the chief people of the city. In course of conversation these people said to me, ' If any of our brothers commit any offence against the State, according to the nature of the offence and by the laws of the land they gat pun ished ; this is all very right and proper, and we have nothing to say against it, but that law must be lad which by its inffic ion ruins our religion ; for instance, when any one is sentenced to imprisonment, immediately on his reaching the pri-ou his beard and moustache are cut ,• this to us is a great insult. In gaol it is ordered that the prison rs shout! eat in messes, the Mahomedans by themselves, and the Iliudoos by themselves ; this is no outrage t i a Mahomedan, but it is a great one to the feelings and religion of a Hindoo. One Hindoo won't eat from the band of another unless they happen to be brothers or cousins." The Go • vernment is also well aware that there are many kinds of Brahmins ; for instance, there ere Tewa rees, Dhobies, Chriubies, Paundee, Missers, Op-t -diaha, Saokhuls, Baghpais, Agunitri e s, &c. ; none i of these, though all Brahmins, will eat from each other's hands—that is., won't eat what the other cooks. I ask, what is the use of such men in any army ? To give an instance, among the 50 Sikhs of this regiment lately besieged at Arrah there was a Hindostanee Brahmin ; this man, for five or six days, neither ate nor drank anything ; at the end of this time he was so reduced that he could scarcely stand. He was of no use in the garrison, even bad be been trusted ; the other men, Euro pean or Sikhs, came out as well as they went in. On account of these prison arrangements it was the general opinion that the Government wished to do away with all caste. When any Hindoo is released from prison he is always tabooed by his family, and looked upon as having lost caste. On this account both the prisoner and his relatives become disaf fected towards the G ivernment. The above strict ness was carried out in many gaels, in consequence of which disturbances broke out in the Gyab, Arrali, Benares, and many other gaols. " Af. er these events the missionaries requested all the moulavies and pundits (Mahomedan and Hindoo priests) to assemble, and when assembled asked them why they shut up their women ; that they ought to let them out like women of other countries; told them they ought not to circumcise their children, or give them the janeo, or marry them until they were 18 years of age ; and that none of the above forms should be carried out with out the permission of the magistrate of the district. These questions and remarks caused great fears in the minds of both the Mahomedans and the Hin does. They said among themselves, ' If the Govern ment insists upon our acting up to these orders, what next shall we not b e compelled to do against our customs and religion ?' To talk over this mat er many persons of both religions assembled in Calcutta. The missionaries of the Mofussil also spoke to the same effect to the villagers, so that all, more or less, became l ari ned for their religion and displeased with the Government, for they thought the rniss;onaries dared not give such orders with out the consent of the Government. "The Government is well aware that the gene rality of the inhabitants of Hindustan are unedu. ca ed and extremely higo . ed, and the more educated they are the more bigoted; they have no books or literature, and think what their fathers did before them must be the best, for instance, they wear the same clothes, of the same pattern as th,ir ancestors did before them, and imagine that if they put on a coat or trousers of an English cut it indicates a Christian ; they think any thing new or anything they don't understand must be meant, in some way or other, to affect 'heir religion. " From this foolishness on their part all the late anarchy arid ruin have come to pass. "In 1856 the British Government annexed the kindona of Ou ie. At the time of annexation it was the talk of the whole of Hindostan that the British. Government had promised the ruler of Oude (I be lieve there was a treaty to the same effect) thakthe kingdom of Oude should never be taken by the English, because in former times the Kings of Oude had rendered valuable assistance to the British Go vernme n t. " When the Government of India issued the pro clamation of the annexation throughout Oude, the King of Oude also issued a proclamation that on no account should any of his subjects resist the British authorities, and that when the British troops en tered his territory all assistance in the shape of pro-, visions should be afforded. The airdars of Oude and the army of the King ob3yed his order. The people of Hindostan likewise said, The country of Oude belongs to the King, and, whether he has done well or ill as regards his own Government, he has not iejured or broken faith with tie English in any way P • if.tOe British Government dethrones a king who has ever been so faithful to them, what inde pendent Nawab or Rajah is sate 1' For the above mentioned reasons every sirdat who had anything to lose began to fear and suspect the Mitts!) Go vernment; but they felt that they were helples;4, having no army with which to resist, and so they remained quiet, waiting for a favourable opportu nity to rise. _ The feeling of the people of Oude became known to me in the following manner :—I was pro ceeding to join the Sikh regiment Captain Rat tray was raising in the Punjab, and arrived at Cawn pore on the 14th March, 1856. On that day the Nawab of Oude also reached Cawnpore on the way to Calcu'ta. I remained at Cawnpore six day, and had frequent interviews with the King's vakeels, courtiers, and servants. No one but his own people ever saw the King. The principal people of Cawnpore, and many of the native officers and sepoys from the regitneut stationed at Cawn pore, had interviews with the vake-ls and servants of the King. They were all of opinion that the Government had acted unjustly in annexing the or untry of Oude, and they all sympathiz?.d with the King and his sirdars. "The vakeel, or minister, of the Bithoor chief (the Nana Sat2ib, who is so well known for his perfidy and cruelty) was present, and said how displeased and angry his master was with the Briiish for annexing Oude. "The serai iu which I had taken up my tempo rary abode became so full with the King's people and their visitors that I was con4elled to leave it. I went and lived with Shaik R4heem, a subadar in the 2d Compa.ny of the Ist Native,lnfantry. learnt from this officer that the sepiirs of his regi ment were all indignant at the King of Oude being dispossessed of his kingdom, and talked among themselves as to the little fai'h that could be placed in the English after their treatment of the King, who, Isim4elf and his progenitors, had been so faithful to them. A few days after this I proceeded and joined my new corps at Lahore, and returned with it to Bengal. " On the march down I heard that the Native Infantry Regiments at Barrackpore were beginning to show symptoms of mutiny, so f om time to time I learnt all I could of their pr ceeiings, which I daly reported to the comm xndiug officer of my regiment. 1 ' I have no hesitation in asserting that the re bellion first commenced in C.lcuttl, when the King of Oude was Either a prisoner or under sut veillance. " The reason for the mutiny breaking out at atwupore is this, as stated above. Tile King f Uncle reached Cawnpore in Dec. 1856, and stayed there 12 or 15 &Lys, and the inhabitants of t - awnpore and the sepoys had many oppoz tunitie 4 of planning mutiny and rebellion. The anuexatioU of Oude, iu addition to their imaginary grievances„ caused a universal disaffection throughout the army, and ft om ttnAttinxe ittletei4oined trporr-mutiuying.- " When the country of the Punjab was taken by the British a general order was issued that in every lino regiment 200 Siklis and Punjauee Mahoinedans were to be entertained. " Many commanding officers enlisted the required number, some 150. When the Sikhs and Mahom inedans came for enlismeet the commanding offi cers promised that they would never interfere with their hair and beards ; or this stipulaton the Pun jabee Mahemedans in particular took service will ingly. Some years afterwards a general order was issued by General Anson, the late command-r in chief, directing the Mahomedens to cut their beards after a prescrined fashion. On this order being understood the Punjahees petitioned their respec tive commanding officers, saying, ‘..When wo en listed we were promised that our beards should not be cut, and we cannot and will not cut them.' " This was reported by the commanding offic-?rs to the Commander-iu-Chief, but his Excellency would not listen to them, but directed that the order should he carried our, and that those who re saaernddyst o tp, s ,tiu u ne b i m aebd i s w teo e po r ok e r t , t o h e b ri ra rather h er discharge t dismissed in t h h aa e vn s e ; r t v wi i e c en e i rt . be to their homes. These men, on the road, bitterly complained how the commanding officers had broken faith situ them, and said there was no dependence to be placed up al the English, —they say one thing and do another. The Hind os- Lance sepoys were also much displeased with this beard. cutting order and with the way that the Pun jabees had been treated. Several g ood men, who took their discharge on account of this order, re enlisted in this regiment, and I have often heard them talking about this order, and how they had lost so many years' service. " In Sept., 1856, a general order was issued, to the eXect that a'l recruits hereafter enlist must swear that they would go w l .,arever Veeir services were required. When the old sepoys heard of this order they were much frightened and displeased. Up to this day those men who went to Affghanis tan have not been readmitted to their caste ; how are we to know where the English may not force us to go ? They will be ordering us neat to go to Lon don.' As I have said above, any new order issued by Government is looked upon with much suspicion by the native army, and is much canvass.id in every regiment. " Lately the British Government desired to in troduce the English rifle into the ranks of the native army for this simple reason—the rifle can throw a bell with accuracy some 900 yards, and conse quently is much superior to the musket. It was of course given by the Government, with a view to save tue sepoys' lives in action, but the natives of this country are such ignorant, bigOted fo is that they never will believe anything is intended for their good. Three depots were appointed for the purpose of teaching the new rifle exercise ; one was stationed at Dum-Dam, one at Umbilla, and one at Sealkote ; one Naik and four sepoys, one European officer, one native officer, and one havil dar, were to be sent to learn the use of the new rifle. When these men were learning a Kalassie from Fort William went to the sepoys who were on duty at the fort, and told them that the cartridges of the new rifle were made up with the fat of cows and pigs, and that if they bit these cartridges they would loss all caste. On hearing this great sus picion seized their hearts ; the Brahmins especially objected to touch these cartridges, but were told tbat the Government wo ild force them. When they saw the cartridges thy If we touch these cartridges we shill lose caste ; so hew can we put our teeth i❑ thew?' About this time the men at Dum-Dum wrote letters to all the regim , nts in the service. From reading these letters the as h .le army wen- , induced to believe the time was come when the Government intended to force them all to Chris tianity. All this was told me by the regiments at Dinapore. " From this imperfect relation of facts the Go vernment will perceive that fot the last 16 years the sepoys have been becoming more and more mu tinous. The different orders, as above described, v , z., the rcvssing together in gaol, the remarks and proclamations of missionaries, the annexai ion of Oude, the swearing in of recruits to go wherever t hey were ordered, and the arrival of the new rifle set the whole country and army mad. The chief tains and sirdars kept constantly telling the sepoys that it was better to die than to give up their reli gion. For this reason alone the 19th N.I. at Be rhampore muinied, and when this regiment wa! 3 ordered down to Calcutta to be disbanded they ga t v : l out wherever they went that they were mares' AtIvBPAPER 7 "41' i t t , 4 was all ails and very bad. yet by - :VaY c il.f the Sahib I said quite the contrary.'

EEAUMONT.—ACTION FOR ASSAULT AND 1 FALSE IMPRISONMENT. This was an action brought by a young female, under 20 years of age , lately empl o y e d as a stew ardess on board the eamer, Tiger, trading be t Neon Hull and Hamburg, against the captain of dr: vessel. In April last year the Tiger was lying ' at Hamburg, when the plaintiff, accompanied by'. • two of the engineers, went out one night,te some places of amusement, and did not return on board mit' after midnight. The captain was in . bed, and he had locked r he cabin door in such a way that the plaintiff could not open it, al.hough she had a key. She contrived, however, to get to her berth through the window of the smoking-room., Next morning, according to the plaintiff's case, the cap tain abused her for staying out so late, threatened to discharge her, and soon after wards came to liFr and insisted upon her leaving the ship at once. She declined doing so, believing t hat herreputation would be injured, but the captain still insisted, and ulti mately called the police. The girl refused to go, and the police, tied her hands and removed her. Her hands were bound so tightly that the blood started, and they were much injured. The captain told her he should place tier on board another vessel, the Harmonta, but she declined to be sent h ome th us , and begged to be allowed to remain and return on board tee Tiger. Sue was removed, however, by the police, and being still ob,tinate in her refusal to be transferred to tee Harmonia, was taken first to the consu.'s office, and then to gaol. During her detention by the police she sttuggled a good deal, and was repeatedly strtrok by the officers. It was for these assaults and alleged false imprison ment that compensation was sought by the present a , :tion. For the defence it was urged that the plain tiff was insub 'rdivate, negligent of iduty, and im p-rtinent to the c ipt:du ; that the, assaults com plained of she had brought upon herself by her own violence ; and that, after tolerating her misconduct as long as lie could, the defendant had done all in his paver to procure her another ship, and had actually paid her-wages up to the time of her dis missal, and also her passage home. In cross-exa minatien the captain aduiit ed that he had indulged in a criminal intimacy with the plaintiff, though his wife was on board at Ills time. A document • was put in, being a copy of certain proceedings and examinations taken and made before the Hamburg authorities, which tended considerably in the cap tain's favour, and showed that the plaintiff had aced in a most violent and outregeous 4h , 1 , -, on the - othi4 - hand, the captain hat done alt he could to induce her to leave the ship quietly and go on hoard another vessel. After addresses from learned counsel and the summing up of the judge, the jury found a vardict for the plaintiff—Damage s 50/. BRISTOL COUNTY COURT -TSB TIP- PLENG ACT. At the Biistol County Court, on Tuesday, in an • action, Tovy v. Hill, the learned judge, Sir J. Eardiey Wilmot, Bart., gave au interpretation of the 24:h George 2, cap. 40, better known as the " Tippling Act," which was far more liberal-and just towards the licensed victuallers' trade than the judgments under that statute have usually been. • i he action was brought by the plaintiff, a highly re spectabla wine aad spirit merchant, to recover the sum of 31. 3s. 6d. for wines and spirits. Tae bill was made up ft he following particulars :—Oct. 9, 1856, 1 gallon. Old Tom gin, 11 , . ; 2 quarts Irish malt whisky, at 16 , . per got. ' Bs. ; 2 quarts old Cognac brandy, at 284. per gal., 14s. ; Marco 14, 1857, 1 gal. 0 d Toni gin, lie. ; 1 quart old Cognac brandy, at 324. per gal., 7s. 6]. ; 1 guar.. Irish malt whisky, at 16i. per gal., 4s. ; 1 quart i,upeiior old port, at 164. per gal., 4i. ; 1 quart prime pale sherry, at 164. per gal., 4s. Mr. Dens, who appeared for the defendant, submitted that by the provisions of the 24th Geo. 2, cap. 40, the plaintiff was debarred from bringing or mainteioing action; and so coneusive was the prohibition of that et state held to be that the late Judge of the Wert, Mr. Palmer, had always considered himself boon', even when the act was no: pleaded, to act upon it, and to deprive the plaintiff of his ver hot. Tee ant provided that, "From and after the Ist day of July, 1751, no person or persons whatsoever shall be ee• titled unto or maintain any cause, action, or suit fur, or recover, either in law or equity, any saw or sums of money, debt, or demand whatsoever, for or on account of any spirituous liquors, unless such debt shall have really been and bona fide con tracted at one time to the amount of 20s. or up wiros." In the case in question the items were under 20.,, although by adding two or three together, as supplied . at the same date, au ag 4 regate i f over 204. might be made up. Thus was, however, a second section of the clause which distinctly met the case, and which was," "Nor shall any particular article cr item in any account or demand for distilled spirituous liquors, be allowed or maintained where the liquors delivered at one time, and mentioned is such article or item, shall not amount to the full value of 20s. at the least, and that without fraud' or ouvin." Such was the substance of Mr. Dane's argument, in support of which he men. tioned the decision of the former judge, Mr. Palmer. His Honour, having taken time to comider his judg ment, said, on his return into court, that he thought the statute capable of a construction more liberal and more for the benefit of the • public than that which Mr. Dane had put open ,was • in 111101 36 argued that, order to carry out the p rov isions of the act, a plaintiff must be deprived of but rig ht to one re cover where the, separate parcels of spirits supp lie d value. t He time did not each individually exceed 2_ 9nsterpret the act, to -,; fi v our of trade, . thought that that was not the way which should he conArued literol h ly, W r blob it was passed, and with a view to the oject wit h PP / : ) ,; fl ed the Words, " where The second part of viz., the prevention of ti the section of the act re t ad w c i : time, and mentioned in ailbs'il considered that the word . not amount to the full w d b i l n connection with the word t s h u e ch lici ar u t o ic r i s e - delivered or ftoznri; vietryshoofwethat the value of 205." moredtheo mus e be rea d tore p b l e a in te g d o th r e ea d d el ‘ o ' Legislature ac i o n liquor at one time,as embraced one Po' c l' of the term " article ; d that, looPo or item."

Such be considered could never have been the intention of .the Legislature, acid such was not, according to the liberal construction ehich he was disposed to put upon it, the meaning of the act of Parliament. The judgment , would, therefore, be for the plaintiff. The Easter ceremonies for the Jews commenced on Tuesday, and will continue until the 6th April.
