We believe that we '' shall a ff ord useft 11. information for the inte-Rigent 4;scussion of the Indian question by republis2ting this pamphlet, whi ma, with the suppression only elf a few passages respt 'cling the bygone controversy as with Sir 0. Napier, 1 s follows : tv .. ~ L et U ., i nqu i re w h at `really are the defects and wants of the native army of B 'lngal, and the beet methods of remedying and supplying , diem. Let the of of the Bengal army apply themsel res fairly and honestly to the task of reform, where refor vi is really needed, and let them not flatter themselves, a. v too often is the case, that they have remedied a defect % v. hen they have only con eea'ed it, or denied its existence ; ell sores must be laid open with an unsparing hand, ae 'a. the caustic be freely applied, before they can be prope.'l v healed ; let not the patient think the surgeon an enemy 1;,, 'cause he gives pain. " For myself, I shall endeavour .to write exactly . as if I were myself an officer of the Ben ga 1 army ; my Judg ment may be erroneous and my op i n iom i unsound, but my motives are undoubtedly good : the)' t -e.e the wish hon estly to serve my hon. masters and illy country, and to benefit, in my humble capacity, the BATT ice to which I akin proud to belong. I have served alt G,g6 ther 23 3 ears, have never been absent from my duty, oend have long commanded a native corps of high reput' /. During the course of my service I have seen a good deaf .of the Ben gal army, and have conversed much with its elfficers. " With the opportunities and experience a hovemen- Coned, my observations and opinions may be useless and unsound, but they cannot justly be deemed presonaptu ens or hasty. " The moat serious faults existing in and peculiar to tke Bengal army appear to me to be as follows : " 1. The absence of the highest moral tone and of a simple and vigorous Anglo-Seaton honesty in dealing with Asiaticson the part of English. officers of the array of Bengal. " 2. The want of power placed in the hands of regi mental commanding officers ; the -want of confidence reposed in, and support afforded to them, by the Com mander-la-Chief and by Government.- " 3. The most pernicious system of drawing pay by teinpanies direct from the divisional Tap:nester, instead of by regimente, which again tends tee bring regimental commanders in contempt, and to reduc*i their power and u s- fuloeee. " 4. The most defective system of commanding offi cers! ine.,see. "5. The entire absence or a proper cemfidence between the offloera and the native soldiers, F "G. The moat pernicious practice of attending to the caste of native soldiers, thereby frequently excluding from our ranks the best material fur soldiers and enlisting the very worst. "7. The very bad and fatally injurious system of pro motion t xisting with re.pect to native officers and sol there. "8. The entire absence of a proper discipline through out the native part of the Bengal army. "Ample proof of the first-mentioned fault is found in proceetliuge towards mutineers—in the late orders to the Ileogal army regarding Courts of Request, &c.—in dia• closures which have been made regarding gambling af fairs, banking transactions, &c., too notorious to require oetailteg, and too extensive and numerous to be attribut able t'. causes affecting individuals only. These proofs are publie and patent to all men. "The defect being admitted, where shall we look for the cause and the remedy? One cause appears to We to coaelst in the lowering of the English character by in seosiley adopting Asiatic habits, manners, and feelings,. the AnglieSaxen becoming partly merged in the Hindoo. This is extensively the case in the army of Bengal. "Prom the moment a young officer sets foot in the Banged presideney he is perpetually reminded that every • English idea and habit is the sure mark of a griffin (that is, of a fool). He must not go out in the sunshine ; he must travel in a palki, instead of on horseback ; he must •be pankaed and tettied, and God knows what else; he must have a kbansainaun, a kidmutgar, a airdar bearer anst)iearers, and a host of other servants, one for his pipe, huother for his umbrella, another for 'his bottle, another for his chair, &c., all to do the work of one man, and which work would be done by one man in the case of a Bombay griffin. Ry all these people the youth is called Ghureeb purwar,' khoodabund,' &c. "Thus state of affairs bewilders the new comer, till, resigobio himself to his fate, he becomes accustomed to it, aiel gradually loses part of the manliness of the Angle,-Sexon character. With the external luxurious anti lazy habits of Hindostan he imperceptibly adopts soreewhat of Oriental morality. Another cause is the difficulty existing in obtaining furlough to Europe, which, if removed, would effect a wonderful improvement in the tone of Indian society ; this ceuse, although of great importance, ie, of course, not p , collar to Bengal, but cornmeal to all India: "The remedy is evident—let it be the fashion to be Englieh. It is a fallacy to suppose that _the climate cempele to be otherwise. There are faults enough I sup pose in the European society of the Western Presidency, but assuredly it is ten times more English than that of Bengal, yet the climate is no better than that of the latter. "Let the griffin have no more than two body servants at most ; let him have no one in his service who will not do such work as his master bids him do; if the Efindoos objlc~ to such service, there are plenty of Mussulenans ready, willing; and able to - take their places, and with nu more prejudices than a Christian. ' " Let the young man never enter a palki, but go about on the back of his pony; let him not fear the sun ; it may tau his cheeks, but it will not hurt him. "It is your efaminate g ntlefolk, who live in dark houses, artificially cooled with a dozen Hiudoos at work with tans and flappers to beat the flee off them, who suffer by exposure, not the heady young Englishman, who, if not intemperate, moon becomes acclimatised, and the fuse readily so the less he regards the sunshine, which is healthy enough in moderation ; expert() crede. " Let him, in short, while studying the character of the ua'dees of India as deeply as possible, and making himself completely acquainted with their habits, thoughts, feelings, modes of expression, &a, endeavour himself by al's means in his power to remain a thoroughly Engiiah cgeutleinen. As he succeeds in doing so he will assuredly succeed in commanding the respect and regard of every native around him. All our power in lull& rests on this. We may lay it down as an absolute certainty that the neliions of natives which a handful of Englishmen govern in this vast continent will .not consent to bo go verned by a handful of their equals. Our power con skits in cur being essentially different from them, and in their belief in our moral superiority only. The only thing which can endanger the existence of this power is the destruction or weakening of that belief. "Thu state of the body will often affect the mind ;- habit's and manners will act on and be reacted on by by morals and religion. " Let UP, then, be English in all thing's, to the utmost of our power, internally and externally, in religion and in merely, in habits and in feelings, allowing absolute freedoil e of opinion and fair play to all men, and all will be well. " Th., second evil is notorious, it has been frequently reinarlSed o n , its existence is ev e ry w h ere ac k now l e d ge d, and ite eff ec t s are lamentable. The commanding officer el ie.regirrient in the Bengal army is almost powerless tor good, he is allowed to do nothing, his men are almost taught to despise him, and in many instances of late years the Sepoyes have been allowed and encouraged to far ward written complaints against their commanders d'r:et, to army.head-quartere What can be worse than this ? It is utterly destru c ti ve o f a ll m ili tary discipline and uoldierlike pride. I' The third and fourth mentioned evils are closely connected with the second. In the Bengal army the practice prevails of each commander of a company drawing pay for that company himself separatley, direct :rom the divisional paymaster; so that the pecu iiiary transactions of the regiment are carried on in a great measure independently of the commanding offi c.o., and often without his knee ledge, as, for ex ample, has appeared in some late disclosures regard ug ben'eing transactions, wherein the officers command n4 Oen:tamales appear to have made arrangements with divieteeel paymasters for the recovery by regular instal moot, of payments on account of various bankicg trans aesi'oes without the commanding officers of the regiments lap es ires anything of the matter. All these also tend to reduce the useful power of regimental commandants and 'snake them be despised. With regard to messes the st ite of affairs is very 1 5 home regimeets no mess t xistt ; the maintaining i 3 not only not made compulsory, but even where Is maintained it is 'optional with officers whether W' m eg to it or not ; such a state of affairs is fraught att,`u .11;v:fit consequences —it breaks a regiment up a parties, and gives rise to all manner of It also lsseens the power and good influence of commanding o ( fIl f crin an extraordinary degree, clpti=eaandelynamperchepti,tlhe support which a commander rezziyea from all well-disposed officers, who have a p r op e r w ri l e i l o a in their noble profes ie ed it enables othe re ll be; ill-disposed to work iniechief unperceived, until IT effect. become ap poser, t in the bad state of the regine e „ a e o T oe remedy fur all these evils is in th e hands of the Comm-slider-in-Chief and of Goveinment ; let tho cool mender of a regiment be systematicall y and eft eauall supported in the x ercise of his legitim a t e power. y ample as possible every in . ; let tbose rowers be as r-spect— reeeseteig regimental affairs, let a . turn, centre,_. an d rem, on bile ; and w ith these full powers snake him respensible that goes on well.

" Me fifth evil is notorious, and is plainly proved by men .deserting their officers in the field, by frequent mu tinies, s!ec., where nothinghas been known by the officers of wb it was going on until it resulted in open resistance This dofect has lately been to some extent remedied. TEE - 0 - ON Lo ,Or to.authority. The camas of this are various, part de pending on what has been mentioned above, but chiefly on the abominable systig of recognising caste in our ranks, and on the absurd system of promotion, whereby the native officers are absolutely useless. "The remedies are, of course, as described with respect to those causeti. " The Edith evil is of a very grave and important na• tura. The effect of enlisting men of a certain caste , Or creed, to the exclusion of others in the Indian army, is to subject that army to the control, not of the Gcreernment and tho Articles of War, but to that of - Brahmins and ' Goseins, Moollahs and Fukheers. By this system, a man is not to be chosen on account of his fitness to be a sol dier, his willingness and strength, docility and courage, bat because he is a twice born worshipper of Vishnoo. Whatever his other qualifications, if a man think that a stone with a patch of red paint on it is not to be wor shipped as the Creator, still more if he have been a shoe maker, &c., he is not to be admitted into the ranks of the Bengal army, for fear of offending the lazy and inso lent Brahmins. The consequences are ruinous to dis cipline. By reason of this a native soldier in Bengal is far more afraid of an offence against caste than of an offence against the Articles of War, and by this means a degree cf power rests with the private soldier which is entirely incompatible with all healthy rule. " Treachery, mutiny, villany of all kinds, may be car ried on among the private soldiers, unknown to the offi cers, to any extent, where the men are (f one caste of Hindoos, and where the rules of caste are more regarded than those of military discipline. To such an extent does this evil exist that I have known a Bengal commanding officer express his regret at being compelled to discharge an excellent Sepoy because the other men had discovered him to be of inferior caste, and had demanded his dis missal. To a Bombay officer such a state of affairs ap pears incredible ; it amounts to open mutiny ; but it is the normal state of the Bengal army at present. It is curious that, though the Bengal Sepoys have contrived to have it believed that their religion is concerned in this business of caste, in our ranks nothing is farther from the truth. In conjunction with the system of promo tion which prevails this attention to caste keeps all real power in the bands of the private soldiers ; and, as they think, saves them from much trouble and annoyance ; but when they assert that this evil is a necessary conse quence of their religion the Bengal Sepoys state the con , trary to truth. "This is positively proved by that which takes place in the army of Bombay, wherein hundreds and thousands of men from Hindoetan, from the same villages, of the !lame caste, and even of the same families, brothers by the same fathers and mothers as the fine gentlemen of the Bengal army, are seen in. the ranks, shoulder to shoulder, nay, even sleeping in the same tent with the Maharatta, the Dher, and the Purwarree, without scruple or thought of objection'. The one prides himself on being a Hindoo, the other on being a soldier. Which pride is the best for our purpose ? This system of re garding caste is the original cause of many other evils in the Bengal army ; and much of what has been said regarding the adoption of Asiatic manners tells again heavily here.* The Bombay Sepoy, whatever faults he may have, has one great excellence, which is, that he 'aims on the European soldier as his model in alt things pertaining to soldiership, and endeavours to imitate him. Lie the European soldier, the Native Sepoy of Bombay will turn his hand to any labour which he may be ordered to execute. . . "If the lines require cleaning, &c., a working party of Sepoys is ordered out as a matter of coarse, with pickaxe and powrah, and the work - is well dor.e. 'TLe technical term ' working party' is as familiar in the mouth of a Bombay Sepoy as shoulder arms.' Nay, I have known more than once the men of a Bombay re ginaent to volunteer for such work as building their offi cers' houses, mess-room, &c., and to do the work well, too—making the bricks, mixing the mud, &c., entirely by therneelvet. Tuffs would not be credited by the greater part of the Bengal army, and to such a state of haplessness has the recognition of caste in the ranks hi-ought the Bengal Sepoy that a regiment of native ca valry, as I haverepeatedly witnessed, is unable to picket, unsaddle, cr groom its horses until the arrival of its syces and grasecuttera, sometimes, as I have seen, for several hours after the arrival of the regiment at its ground. In a Bombay regiment, before that time had elapsed, the h rtea would have been picketed, groomed, fed, and wa tered, stables would have been over, the tents pitched, and the men have had their breakfast. To such an in credible extent has this helplessness been carried and re cognised by authority that a Bengal sentry cannot think of striking the gong at his own quarter-guard, and men called Gunta Pandays' are actualy maintained and paid for by Government, to do this duty for them. It is the khansaiteaum, kitinntgar, hookah-burdar, &c , over again. The remedy is obvious ; never allow any reference to caste when enlisting men. If others now in the service object, let them be told that Government does not care one pin whether its Sepoys be Hindoos or Mussulmans, or Brahmins, or Purwarees, so long as they be good soldiers, and that if they do not like the roles of the service they may leave it. If they still ob ject, or make any difficulty about the matter, discharge them on the spot. There are millions of better men ready to occupy their places: Let also the use of intrenching tools be part of the drill of the Sepoy, as much as is the musket exercise, and when he has learn this let him be occasionally employed in working parties, &c., to pre vent his forgetting it again. This trifle would be found to possess much more importance than at first sight ap pears to attach to it. " The seventh evil, the bad system of promotion, is the worst of all ; its effects ars crushingly ruinous. In Bengal army the promOtion of natives is made to depend on seniority only, so that if a man keep clear of actual crime, and lives long enough, he must become a com missioned officer, however unfit for the offile. " Under this system, the private soldier feels himself entirely independent of his ofcers—he knows that thoy neither hasten nor retard his advance in the service. He has nothing to do but to live and get through his duties with listless stupidity, and with the least possible trouble to himself. No exertion on his part can help him—no talent, courage, fidelity, nor good conduct is of any avail. Confidence and pride in each other between men and officers cannot exist. There is no real co-operation —for, the one being powerless to aid, the other becomes careless of offending. This is the effect on the private soldier. The system is equally, if not more baneful as respects the native officers, commissioned and noncom missioned. The whole of the native commissioned offi cers are entirely useless, the amount of their pay is a dead loss to the State, every one of them is unfit for service by reason of imbecility produced by old age, or where in rare instances the man may not be altogether in his second childhood he is entirely useless from having been educated in a bad school. All should have been pensioned long ago ; but, alas, if the present system of promotion be continued, the gettipg. rid of these poor old gentlemen, who cut such painfully ridicu lous figures in the Bengal regiments, would be of no use whatever, for the non-commissioned officers who would have to be promoted in their places are but little better ; even the very naiques (corporal,) are almost too old for service. How very different is the state of affairs under a proper system of promotion by merit alone I "It gives the commanding officers of regiments and companies a good deal more trouble certainly in making promotions ; but how are they repaid 7 If they really and honestly do their best to choose the men for pro motion without partiality, favour, or affection, lint by merit and fitness alone, it is soon found Abet every man in the regiment (at least all who are fit to be in cur ranks) exerts himself to aid his officers. A degree of vigour and activity amounting to a new life is infused into every part of the regiment. The men, seeing all the prizes of the service within their reach, exert them selves to obtain thew. They can only obtain their end by becoming soldiers, by learning their duty, and per- forming it to the satisfaction of their superiors. "The native officers, being chosen with regard alone to their qualifications and their fitness to hold commis sions, are alike proud of the distinction they have acquired by their appointments, and able to perform their duties. • They are not enfeebled by age, and the consciousness that their respectability and success in life depend on their own conduct makes them exert them e elves willingly and zealously its maintaining the discip line and reputation of the service in which they acquire honour. The ill effects of the one system and the excellencies of the other appear to me so self-evident and have• been both proved on so large a scale that I should consider it to be insulting to the understanding of my readers were I to enlarge on it. " With such a system of promotion, the good and the had, the clever and the foolish, the brave and the timid the energetic and the imbecile, are nearly on apex. ,The (bilis:Era are powerless for good, and the men, keeping just clear of open violence, have their own way in all things. It is astonishing, and says much for the good• Less of the raw material of the Bengal army, that under snob arrangementsthe whole fabric has not entirely fel:en to pieces. The thing is rotten throughout, and discipline there is none; but it is wonderful that even the out ward semblance of an army has Leen still" maintained Under such deplorable mismanagement. " The eighth evil, the want of discipline, is the necessary consequence of what has been already described. In speaking of want of discipline Ido not only mean that which is shown by serious mutinies and tni:conduct on , extroardinary occasions, but also as evinced in the ordinary every-day routine of duty in t'le Bengal army; this is such as to be almost incredible to an officer of the Royal army, or in the other armies of India. The first thing done by a Bengal Sepoy when. he mounts guard is to strip himself of arms, accoutremente, and die Thing ; the muskets are piled. and a sentry is po,ted, who. remains, generally (not al• ways), properly accoutred, &c. ; all the others, includ ing non-clnamissioaed officer?, dsarm and strip; if there be any water near they go and dabble in it after the fashion of all Hindoetanees, otherwise they cover them. selves with sheets and go to sleep, qui e naked, with the exception of a lungootee. When the sentry thinks that he has been on long enough, ha bawls out for some one to relieve him ; after a while up gets a Sepoy trent be neath his sheet, and after a few yawns and stretches puts ea Ina clothea and accoutrements, but does not take his 6 eri tibnhetreu:hniedeveret musket ; that would be too much trouble and endanger e i 1 .a:;:k3::tut eh i .ni Attends musket wholekse with front h e i u ; ) ,b and ri d then h goes occupies hist to place the awayn t sentry, under i ,en N m o an ws, and strips like the others.

This was the case when the Bonibay and Bengal troops met at Peshawur, and considerable grumbling and complaining took place when Sir H. Dundas insisted on the guards being relieved daily. To the mind of any practical soldier no further proof is necessary on this subject—want of discipline. He must at once see that where guards are relieved weekly, where the sentries relieve each other as they please, and where the whole guard strips naked thern can be no discipline whatever. It is useless to ask whether a man can read and write when you find that he does not know a letter of his al, phabet. If it were necessary, however, I could adduce abundance of other facts to the same purport. The re medy is apparent from what has been said before. Such are some of the reforms peculiarly required by Bengal. Bat there are many others, equally requisite, with re gard to the native Indian army generally; for instance, with respect to the regimental orderly room. " The commanding officer of every regiment- should, every day of his life, hold his orderly room in some con venient public place, where the commanding officer, his staff, and all the European officers not otherwise engaged should assemble. Here all regimental business should be transacted in public; every man in the regiment should have an opportunity every day of seeing his com manding officer. "Everything being done with perfect openness in the presence of all the English officers, many common sources of discontent and of grievance, real or imaginary, would be removed. Every officer would be habitually well ac quainted with everything relating to the regiment, and would be undergoing a course of education calculated better than any other to fit him for command in his turn. " While the habitual daily presence of all the English officers around their commanding officer would afford him the best possible support in doing right, and impose the most effective check on wrong, a very ordinary mor tal might, under such an arrangement, be safely trusted with absolute powers, while no officer's qualifications could ever be for a moment doubtful. Where everything is open to the public, common sense has the fairest chance of prevailing, and ' regulation' need be but little intruded. " Officers need be troubled as little as possible with form, dress, ceremony, and matters of etiquette at their daily orderly room ; and the inconvenience of daily at tendance would speedily be overcome by an increasing feeling of interest in all regimental affairs, and all irksomeness would be removed by the grant of leave of absence when required for any rational purpose. " The arrangements here contemplated appears to me to be of the very highest importance to the welfare of the native army of India; and I may observe that I have myself practised what I here teach for 15 years together with the happiest effect. " I will now conclude with a few observations on the late order concerning passing in the native languages, by which, with the best possible intentions, our hon. masters have done such an amount of injustice to their servants that if the order be really and strictly carried into effect the greatest injury to the army and to our Indian empire must ensue. " In the first place, the Hon. Court of Directors pro claim that the only post in their service for which a knowledge of the native language is not a necessary qua lification is the command of their regular native soldierE: officers who do not pass are to remain with their regi ments. Secondly, An officer by natural talent and study, may be a first-rate engineer, or peradventure an astro nomer, but nature may have denied him the peculiar talent of acquiring language, and he has in consequence thither passed in Hindostanee, Mahratte, nor Persian. Government requires an engineeror an astronomer ; by the order of the Hoe. Court they must appoint, not the man who is well acquainted with astronomy and physi col science, but some one whose leisure has been occu pied, and whose mind has been improved, by the study of the indecent and obscene stories and of the childish fables of which the Hindostanee literature consists, but who knows not a vernier from a mural qaadrant, nor Jupiter from Venus. Nature has given us all, even the best of us, but very limited faculties ; some excel in one respect, some in another, each may do excellently well it placed in that position for which his natural talents and abilitfes are suited ; but to attempt to force all men to be linguists is no more reasonable than to compel thorn to be all of one size of body ; what between stretching and compressing, the whole human race - might be de stroyed, but no uniformity of size would be produced. It is quite as unreasonable to say that a man is unfit for staff employ because he has not the gift of tongues, as it would be to say so because he was no musician ; a want of an organ of language is probably quite as common as the defect of the organ of tune. Bat does either defi ciency imply that the man is fit to command the native infantry soldiers of the Indian army and fit for nothing else ? Has any Government on earth such an amount of talent at its disposal that it can afford to press all into one mould without fatal injury to efficiency ? " I have served my hon. masters long, and at least zealously. They have told me that I have done them good service, and they have given me high praise. I have never been absent from my duty, and have al ways performed it to the full satisfaction of my superiors. I am tolerably acquainted with the natives of India, in intimate association with whom I have passed the best part of my life. But, on the oller blind, I have not passed in any language and cannot read even the Bagh-o-Bahar. Wherefore I am vir tually told by my hon. masters that as I have been so long in their service they will not now positively turn me out, as - incapable, from the place I have held with so much undeserved praise from them during the last ten years; but my lieutenants, who have hitherto, I flatter myself, held me in some considerable respect and esteem, and whom I have endeavoured to confirm in what seem to me to be soldier-like ideas, are now told that to prevent my bad example affecting them, to prevent their becoming such an imbecile as their commander, in spite of his thinking them the best men in the army to be his lieutenants, and his never having had a fault to find with one of them, and in spite of all their zealous and - gallant services, and their honourable wounds, they are now told, I say, they shall all be turned out of their appointments if they do not immediately pass an examination in the Hindostanee language. Teat is to say that seven years' honest exertion, and brilliant service in the field, including a most honourable share in hard-fought and important battles and siegez, with frequent commendation in public despatches, &a., alto ther imply, in the opinion of our hon. masters, a degree of merit and capacity not to be compared to that acquired by the study of filthy Hindostanee stories. 4 Let the Hon. Court at once rescind an order which will defeat the object contemplated in it ; which has dis gusted or will diggust many of their best, most tried, and most valued servants ; which will make contempt and ill-feeling take the place of honest pride and generous zeal ; and which cannot but deeply injure their army and India in general. "'I have had abundant opportunity of judging of this matter, and I solemnly assure my honourable masters that it is notorious that their officers who have passed in the language are not only not the most able of their servants, but that they have as a body (there are bril liant exceptions of course) less knowledge of that len; guage for practical purposes than the unpassed ; that is if language be intended to facilitate the cimmuuication of ideas between man and man, and not for concealing thoughts. This may appear paradoxical, bat a little consideration soon shows that it must be s While the young man has been studying booke, the other has been studying men. I have on hundreds of occasions seen a youthful genius who had passed in the language, en t'rvly at a loss to understand the expresso is used by a common. peasant, and quite incapable of maintaining a conversation with him, while one of the unpassed who could no', read a word in a Hindostanee book, but had been accustomed to associate with the people, would talk with the man with perfect fluency. A knowledge of the people of India, of their thoughts gabits, feelings, beliefe, desires', wants, &c., is learnt, not from Hindo stanee books, but from intercourse with the people tiaemselves. And my honourable masters may well be lieve me, when I tell them that such knowledge is of far more importance to their service and to India than the most intimate acquaintance with all the Hindostanee books ever written. "Another subject of vital importance to India, not only to the army, but to all the services, and to the whole people of the country, natives as well as Euro peans, is the furlough regulations. "The existing-rules are not adapted to the present state of things, they belong to days long gone by, when a period of 12 months or more was necessary to receive from England an answer to a letter from Bombay. "Moreiver, the present rules regarding leave of ab sence are exceedingly unfair in another respect. Thew tendency in every way is to favour the least valuable servants of Government—those who are csainually suffering from real or imaginary sickness, and on that account continually absent from their duty. "It is an undoubted physiological fast, that hard working, energetic men, who continually exercise them selves in bodily and mental occupation, suffer the least from ill health. They have no time to be sick. Autho rities are agreed on this point. For example, Copland (Med. Lect„ page 562) says : " ' When the mental energies are depressed by grief, anxiety, disappointment, fear, &c., the powers of life are less able to oppose the debilitating causes of disease which invade them from without, and of which nature all the exciting causes of fevers, I articularly those which are specific or contagious and miasmal, generdlly par take in a most marked manner. Oa the other hand, when the mind is elevated by success, by hope, by con fidence, and the other exciting passions. the depressing causes make little or no impression upon the constitu tion, and individuals thus circumstanced almost always escape from diseases, which readily invade the fearful, the dejected, and the disappointed.' "Again, Copland, Med, Dict , p. 920, paragraph 118 ; Confidence, continued mental oocupation, and. moderate excitement, are especially efficacious in resist. ing the causes of most fevers. . ‘" There is a moral courage sometimes posses , eti by persons, the weakest, perhaps in respect of physical power, that enables them to resist infectious and epi demic influences more successfully than the most robust, who are not thus mentally endowed.' "On the other hand, it is certain that a large portiin of the sickness which causes so many officers to be absent from their duty in India is produced by feebleness of character, by idleness, laziness, listlessness, or lan gour. _ _ _ "Now, I would not for a moment wish to lessen the indulgencies granted by a beneficent Government to such of its faithful servants as might have the misfortune to be suffering from ill health. I would leave the rules regarding leave of absence on sick • certificates a 3 they arc, but assuredly I would so order matters that long continued, honest, unremitting, and valuable labour should be deemed to coastitufe at least as god a title-to MONDAY F,VEINING the favour of a furlough in England as the want of health alone. " Moreover, if such furlough were obtainable at moderate intervals, and with greater facilities than at present, the number of sick certificates would assuredly be immensely decreased. "It is probable that after a while they would almost wholly disappear. "The evil done, both to England and to India, by the present furlough regulations, is incalculable. " A large proportion of the Indian officers who can now return to England is composed of those worn out in the service—of the aged, the feeble, the sickly, the di - contented, the idle, and the lazy ; while the energetic, the active-minded, the able, the zealous, and the strong, are compelled for the most part to remain at their work in India, without any intermission, without a day of real rest, until their failing vigour qualify them also for the indulgence of a visit to their native land. "In English society, by reason of this state of affairs, India is not fairly represented. " The real working men of India, the soldiers, the magistrates, the statesmen, all those men of clear heads, strong minds, and active habits, by whose practised intelligence and honourable labours our Indian empire is held together, have little connexion with, or influence on, the English public. They are very rarely seen in England. • " From this cause it proceeds that in the imagination of tho people of England the idea of an Indian officer, military or civil, is always connected with those of rice and curry, and diseased livers. " Ft om this case chiefly results the deplorable ignor ance) regarding Indian affairs which prevails even among educated gentlefolk in England. "Flow easily might all these evils be rectified. "Let ns have recourse to a principle as old as the - history of man—the institution of the Sabbath. This at once satisfies all our wants and meets every difficulty in every single point, while no objection whatever can be brought against it save by those who would wiab, if possible, still to retain a dark veil between India and England for their own supposed private advantage,. bat to the grievous injury of both countries. " My proposal is to give every officer, civil ormilitary, every seventh year to himself, if he wished to avail him self of the indulgence, to allow him, during that period, to go wherever it might please him to go, whether in India or any other part of the world, to allow him during that year to receive his full Indian allowances, to retain his staff appointment if he held one, but during his absence not to receive the staff salary, which should go to the officer who might officiate until his return. If an officer should wish to remain in India, even in the very camp in which he was serving, and there to enjoy his sabbathical year, he should be allowed to do so. The year should be his own to employ as he pleased. " If an officer chose to allow his sabbath to pass by, and to wait till he had served 12 years, he should be allowed two years rest on furlough ; after 18 years' un interrupted work, three years should be allowed, and so on. " The consequences of this arrangement would be great and numerous, and all of them good—good for the Government, good for the people, and good for the ser vices. The amount of vi g our infused into Indian society , by this means w ou ld b e a lmost incredible. Hope, look ing forward to the enjoyment of the sabbatb, would sti mulate even the lazy and the idle to work hard during the six years of labour. " The continual return to England and reflux into India of the tide of Europeans would be to the body moral and politic, exactly what the circulation of the blood is to the animal body. England would be our lungs, the old blood would be there aerated, and new life, health, and strength thereby sent flowing vigorously to every cornet and extremity of our empire. Energy and health would take the place of langour and disease. " The outcry for more Europeans would be at an end, for those now in the service would be bound willing and able cheerfully to do well doable the amount of work which is now thought to tax their powers too highly. . " There would be a far more equal distributiou of the emoluments of staff appointments by reason of the num ber of officiating men. There would also be a far greater number of men well acquainted with and ready effici-ntly to perform the duties of such appointments, to the great advantage of the service, which now often suffers from the inexperience of new incumbents. " Society in the two countries would become one, and all manner of blessings would indirectly idlow. "Let any man of sound common sense, and a tolerable knowledge of the subject think over the matter, and he most be convinced at once of the truth of the conclusions set forth above. " The doctrine is founded on the laws of nature, and its truth will be the more apparent the more those laws are studied. "JOHN JACOB," HORRIBLE MURDER OF A LADY IN LEIGH WOODS, NEAP CLIFTON, BRISTOL, SATURDAY. Great sensation was created in this city and Clif ton last evening by a report that a murder had been committed, apparently under very atrocious cir cumstances, in that romantic epot, Nightingale Valley, Leigh Woods, near Clifton. Ou inquiry we learn that about seven o'clock- last evening, as a gamekeeper, in the employ of W. Miles Esq., M.P. was passing along the north side of Nightin gale Valley, near the rabbit warren, he was hor rified by discovering the body of a lady-like female lying on the ground, with her arms extended, and her face covered with blood, quite dead. The keeper raised au warm, and on examining the body it was found that her throat was cut from ear to ear and the head nearly severed from the trunk. There is also a wound on the right side of the head, apparently caused by a bullet, though this eaut ba only ascer tained by a pest mortem examination. There were no 'other marks of violence on the body, and no in strument of death was found near it. The deceased female appears to be about 30 years of age ; she is of diminutive stature, rather handsome, and is dressed in a gray alpaca gown, frilled round the neck and down the front, with kid boots, and two skirts, one grey and the other white. She had no bonnet. At present the deceased lady is unknown, and there can be no doubt but that she has been cruelly murdered. The gamekeeper states that he passed the spot on Thursday afternoon in going his round, and from this, as well as from the freshness of the wounds, the crime was apparently perpet rated in the course of yesterday. Since her death some of the flesh of the throat has been torn away, it is supposed by rats. The holy has been removed to the New Inn, at nownham Ferry, and information of the melan choly occurrence has been forwarded to the coun ty coroner, B. Fry, Esq., who will f or th w ith h o ld au inquect. The body of the unfortunate lady ma y probably presentbe in the cou rse o f thi s d ay, b ut identified - L i v e () been p ro l onge d on some parties have t a k en pl ace i n at prest tho deceased is unknown. Duri ng th e summer v s o e od, vefs,l au p d ie occa-inns until midnight, and pars ns have taken refreshment at the cottages in the wood, and then strolled away to Nightingale Valley, and in many - cases the females have-left their shawls and bonnets at the cottages. This may possibly furnish a clue to the identification of the body, and explain the fact that the deceased was without a bonnet. The crime has been committed in the county of Somer set, beyond the jurisdiction of- this city, but the city police areon the alert. A married woman- is .missing,-having eloped with a ti c k e t- o f-l eave man, with a sum of money in her p ossess i on , b u t th e husband believes, from the description given to him of the dress and body of the deceased, that she is not his wife. Ile will, 'however, be permitted to see the corpse this morning. THE _RECENT FEARFUL COLLISION, IN TDB CLIANNEL. We reported. in The St of Saturday the colli sion in the Channel between the steamers Sophie and William Hutt. The chief Mate of the Sophie has since made the subjoined report of the disaster : "Left Rotterdam at 5 a.m., 10th, wind from the W. S. W., fine, and proceeded safely until about 1.15 a.m. of the 11th, when off Dungeness, distant about six miles, the light bearing N.N. W., wind N.W., thick, with, rain, and steering W., exhibiting the usual steamboat lights, all of which were burning. Mr. Eos (the chief mate) was on - the fore part of the ship, and saw a steamboat approaching towards them on the port bow about l cable's length of them, when he hailed her, and ran aft to the pilot, who put the helm hard a-port, but before the So phie could get clear she was struck by the steamer between the fore bulkhead and the forem4st. The Sophie making •making much Water, they endea voured ta clear the boats. They succeeded in lowering the starboard boat, but in doing so stove her. Four men got into it, and aitempted to stop the leak. In the meantime others were engaged in c'earing the other boats, but faded in getting them clear, and in about smmutes the Sophie went down.; Mr. Eos, who was in the boat, hailed the strange steamer to save the crew, which she did, and picked. up seven persons and took them ou board. The steamer proved to be the William Hutt, from Havre for Shields. The master of the Sophie was J. Von Knapen. The pilot, George "Barry, belonging to Bristol, the ship's carpenter, steward; four. seamen, one fireman, the captain's wife, one male passenger, - and the late engineer's . wife, were drowned. The William Hutt brought the survivors, consisting of the mate ' chief ,erigi neer, and nine seam en , as f ar as th e South Fore land, and then put- them on board a Dover pilot boat, which landed them. at Dover at 7 a.m." The William Hutt 'sustained serious damage:to her stem, and her fore. cotnparini . ‘mt was reported to be. full of water. Very fortunately she .was light ; had she been loaded, the probability is that she would have gone down with the Sophie. The names of the - survivors are John Sambrook, chief engineer; Morgan, second engineer; Milsom, stoker ; Rex, seaman ; Vincent, stoker ; Breaden, seaman ; Hargen, seaman ; Van Nauten, seaman ; Kraal), seaman ; and Pajewski, seaman. The late engineer's wife who was drdwned was on her way toltristol, to endeavour to obtain the release of her husbind, who .is in prison with the old crew on some charge of smuggling. None of the bodies have as yet been washed ashore. SET' TEMBP,R, 14 3 165 7 POLICE INTELkIGENCE.—Sept. 12. BOW STREET.—Mr. Henry Smart, picture dealer, 10A, ~Tichberne-street, and Mr. T. Gloss, also a picture dealer, Charlotte-street, Blackfriars, appeared before Mr. Jardine to answer a summons, charginc , them with having conspired to defraud. Mr. H. Fitzpatrick, of Sheffield, of 1301., by sell ing him a landscape painting, purporting to be the original production of the eminent artist John Lin nell, well knowing the same to be a " evy " only. Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Mr. G. D. Webb, of Carey-street, appeared for the prosec u ti on • r. Abrahams defended Smart ; and Mr. A us ti n de fended Closs. After a statement of the case by the learned counsel, who explained that the present transaction occurred after his client had seen the original pic ture at Mr. Smart's shop, and refused to give 2001. for it, the following wituesies were examined. F. 'W. Adams, of King-street, Covent-garden, deposed that he was a picture dealer, and knew the prosecutor as a customer. On 24th July last the de fendant Close (also a customer) called upon him and said he had a picture by Linnell, which Mr. Fitz patrick wanted to purchase. Witness said, "Is it the one Mr. Fitzpatrick saw at Smart's ?" and he replied "Yes," adding that he did not want his name mentioned in the matter. He requested wit ness to say that a gentleman had brought the pic ture to him (Adams) and that it was for sale. Witness said, "Is there anything wrong about it ? because if it is only a copy, or there is anything not right, I would not do such a thing for 501., Mr. F. bewg a customer of mine." He assured witness that the picture was a genuine Linnell. The picture was sent round, screwed up in a case, and Mr. Fitzpatrick was conferred with on the subject, witness telling him that the gentleman (meaning Close) was anxi ous to sell it, being very short of money. Close had told him to say this, and also to refer Mr. Fitz patrick to Mr. Smart if he expressed any doubt about thepicture. Witness had several conversations with the prosecutor, and was eventually authorised to purchase the picture for 1301., telling him "the gentlemen" represented that he should be a loser of 401. by the transaction. Witness agreed with Close to give him 1201., so that he - (witness) had 10/. fur his own trouble in the matter. Mr. Fitz patrick requested a warranty that the picture was genuine, but witness told him that the gentleman did not wish his name to appear in the matter, and there was no doubt about the genuineness of the picture. Witness said this, believing that Close would not deceive him in the matter. Mr. Fitz patrick paid witness the amount, giving him a cheque for 251., and three acceptances (at two, three, and four months) for 151., 40/., and 501. respectively. Witness gave the checque and the two latter bills to Close, keeping the 15/. for his own commission ; although he was new . prepared to give it up to Mr. Fitzpatrick. By the Court—Closs told me that Smart had seen the picture and guaranteed that it was genuine. I did not either tell Closs or Mr. Fitzpatrick that I had got 10/, on the transaction. Closs agreed to I sell it for 1201., an d M r . Fit zpa t r i c k agree d t o give 1301. Mr. Jardine—That seems very like a fraud, to me. You represented that you gave 1301. for what only cost you 1201. Witness'—Not so. I obtained the picture for Mr._ Fitzpatrick at the price he agreed to give for it. It is usual in- the tride to take a commission upon a purchase, and I have often got 101. upon a picture of 101. value. Cross-examined—l am not a judge of Linnell's pictures, having only . seen them at sales. No in voice was given nor any receipt for the bills. 1 believe the picture to be genuine; owiug to what Gloss said. Mr. Fitzpatrick, of Angel-street, Sheffield, corroborated this evidence, and said that he first a.vs , Mr. Smart about the picture on the 21st or 22d of July. At that time a person was in the shop, whom he uow believed to be Closs. He showed witness the original picture of Linnell's and. asked 2001. for it, which witness declined to give. The picture which Adam's afterwards gave him (from Closs) was in the same. frame and box that he had seen the original painting in. After buying it of Adams he took it to Smart, and said tdMina, "Ts that the picture you showed me in your house the other day ?" He replied, "Yes, there can be no doubt about it." Smart said, " I sold it to a gentleman. How did you come by it so quickly ?" Ltold him it had been left for me to look at, and I asked how it was that the owner did not come forwari with his name ? Smart replied, " Perhaps he wants to raise the wind, and don't wish it to be known." Ho told me he gave Mr. Linnell 175/. for it. I asked him to give me a war ranty. He replied, " I cannot give you one, but I will give one to the gentleman who bought the pic ture of me." I thought the picture was the same. By the Court—l would not give 151. or 51. for the copy. Mr. Metcalfe—Don't hurt the feelings of the artist. Oros3-examined—l considered the copy like the original certainly. I am not a judge of Liunell's pictures. I sold the copy to a gentleman at Shef field for 1501. ; but when I discovered the fraud, I told him of it. He has never paid me the money. I had no receipt fur the cheque and bills paid to Adams, being in great baste to save my train for Sheffi-ld. I cannot swear it, but I believe the frame of the copy to be the same that I had seen on the or;ginal, at Mr. Smart's shop. Mr. John Linnell, of Redhill, the veteran artist, examined' (both the pictures were produced in court)—He identified the original. and said that he should have known the other to be a copy, upside down. He painted the original for Mr. Grant, and sold it in February last to him for 1751. Had known his family for fifty year... _ _ Cross-examine(i—LThe colours are well imitated in the copy. I consider the signature in the copy, " John Linnell," to be a forgery. Mr. James Lloyd, of Gracechurch-street, deposed that he purchased the original of Mr. Clogs (defen dant) on the 14th July last. °loss said he Nought it of Smart. .EEe sold it again afterwards. - Here the investigation, having occupied several hours, was adjourned to next week. WORSHIP-STREET.—Mary Ann Villiers, the wife of a retired publican, residing in Mansfield street, Kingsland-road, was chargedwith feloniously cutting and wounding her husband, with intent to murder him. Oa entering the witness box the complainant, who appeared with his face nearly covered with ad hesive plaister, and presented a most ghastly spec tacle, said—lt is not my intention to proceed with this case, as I have reason to believe that the in juries T have sustained were accidentally inflicted by my wife, and .I hope you will allow•me to abandon the prosecution. _ _ - Ile magistrate, peremptorily refused to accede to the request in a case of.such a serious nature, and having inquired if there was any other evidence, Sergeant Townsend, - No: 23, stated that in con sequence of information he had received, he pro ceeded on the previous evening to the residence of the prosecutor, whom he found seated in the par lour with the blood gushing down from two fright ful wounds in the face. Witness asked him how he had received the injuries, and before he had time to reply, the prisoner, who-was standing near him, stepped boldly forward and exclaimed—" It was done by me, but I meant to cut Lis throat, and now you may lock me up." The prisoner was immediately taken into custody, and on her way to the station-house, she declared that it was her set tled determination to murder her husband, and assigned as her motive for such vindictiveness that he had boastfully acknowledged the fact of his hav ing formed an improper intimacy with her sister. Police-constable, - N 370, gave corroborative evi dence, and added that the prisoner had attacked her husband with, the carving-knife produced, which had been since handed to him by the laud lady, stained with blood, as it now appeared. Mrs. Jane-Jones, the wife of a builder in Mans field-street, stated that the prosecutor and his wife had occupied apartments in her house for several months; during which period they had lived on very unhappy terms together, and consequently quar relled from morning to night. On the previous evening she heard-an unusually violent commotion in their apartment, on entering which she observed the prosecutor -in the mang:eS and bleeding condi ti:m. described by the officer. The prisoner, who was standing over him in a menacing attitude, coolly avowed that she had inflicted the wounds in his face while attempting to cut his throat, at the same time pointing to knife- on the table, the blade of which was stain e d w ith f res h bl oo d . Wit ness instantly secured the weapon, with which she hastened into the street, and gave information to the police. The witness added that the prosecutor hail formerly been in affluent circumstances, but was of such profuse and extravagant habits that he bad expended no less than 5,0001. within the last tine.) .yelr.-1. Mr. 7 G. 11. Coward, the divisional surgeon of police, having deposed to the serious nature of the wounds, one of which had completely cut through the cheek to the extent of four inches. The prisoner, who exhibited throughout the most reckless indifference, was remanded for depositions.
