The ictuediate cause of the failure was stated to have from losses sustained through an alteration in the tariff on goo d s s hi p p e d t o the United States. It w as eventually agreed to wind up the estate und er assignment, and Messrs. Crokat and C4atteris Were appointed trustees.

I have lost nearly everything, though my servants behaved splendidly, and saved all they could. Two tables, a few chairs, three beds, a few odd volumes of my dear old books, and my silver is all I have in the world ; however, my life has been mercifully spared, I thank God ! My horses I- have saved ; I sent them to poor Alexander for safety and for use before the fearful night of the 6th, when his Sowars rode two of them and Old Smuggler saved Harward's life. When he ran up to his camp he mounted him, ani he dashed through the Sepoys like an old trump, as be is. I have the good old beast under me everywhere, carrying on the work of retribution. Now that we have plenty of men a force is to be moved up to Cawnpore to relieve the poor fellows there, who are hard pressed, being intrenched in a kind of made-up fort. The Commissioner, Mr. Chester, sends me as the political agent with the force, and I trust to see some service before I return, so don't be anxious if you do not hear from me for several mails to come; my kind friend, the collector, will write a few lines to set your minds at ease. If we can beat off the rebels at Cawnpore it is probable we shall go on td Lucknow, where we shall have some hard fighting. I shall probably be away a month. Fancy marching in the rains ! they have just come-on. If I can keep from rheumatism and fever I sha'nt care, for excite ment enables one to stand the sail and fatigue won derfully. At any other time the sun would have kno,..:ked. us down like dogs, but all this month we have been out in the middle of the day, toiling like coJlies, yet I never have been better in my life. Such an appetite! The whole c3untry has been up, and frightful massacres have been taking place all over the north-west. We have not yet heard half the horrors, for the daks have been stopped for three weeks. The poor Henry Tharnbills have been mur dered at Seetapore, in Oude, and nearly all the people at out-stations, but many reported dead have turned up. Robert Chalmers is here with me, • having escaped in a wonderful manner with those of his station. He comes on to Cawnpore with us. I can write no more, as lam just starting. May God bless you all. The following letter is from a clergyman " Bangalore, July 4. "I began writing you an account by the last mail of this terrible outbreak in th 3 Bengal Presidency, and I. have determined t, give you a brief outline of what further has been perpetra'ed, as English men ought to be in possession of facts, lest there should be any squeamishness about the punishment in store for the brutal and diabolical mutineers. " We have had an awful time of it, I can assure you, though we ourselves have been mercifully ' kept from alarm or dang Pr. No words can express the feeling of horror which perl'ades society in India, we hear so many private accounts of the tragedy, which are too sickening to repeat. " The cruelties committed by the wretches exceed all belief. They took 48 females, most of them girls from 10 to 14, many delicately nurtured ladies— violated them, and kept them for the base purposes of the heads of the insurrection for a whole week. At the end of thatftime they made them strip them selves, and gave them up to the lowest of the people, to abuse in broad daylight in the streets of Delhi. They then commenced the work of torturing them to death, cutting off their bre tsts, fingers, and noses, and leaving them to die. One lady was three days dying. They flayed the face of another lady and made her walk naked through the streets. Poor Mrs. --, the wife of an officer of the Re giment, at Meerut, was soon expecting her confine ment. They violated her, then ripped her up, and, taking from her the unborn child, cast it and her into the flames. No European man, woman, or child has had the slightest mercy shown them. I do not believe that the world ever witnessed more hellish torments than have been infl.cted on our poor fellow-countrywomen. At Allahabad they have rivalled the atrocities of Delhi. I really cannot tell you the fearful cruelties these demons have been guilty of—cutting off the fingers and toes of little children, joint by joint, in sight of their parents, who were reserved for similar treatment afterwards. "I told you how gallantly our Madras Fusiliers —poor J—'s regiment—has behaved ; 100 men of them, under Col. Neil, killed 650 mutineers. I saw a letter from one of the officers yesterday. He says that no imagination can depict th 3 scenes he witnessed when he arrived at Benares. All the troops were in astate ofrevolt. Theysaved Benares. The whole of the Bsngal officers were paralysed with terror and astonishment ; so Colonel Neil assumed command and proceeded to the most summary measures, cutting off whole regiments. All the ladies were crowded into one room, with wounded and dying men, and from the window the sight that greeted the eye was a row of gallowses, ou which the energetic colonel was hanging mutineer after mutineer, as they were brought in. Alec rest,a , in; some little order at Benares, on went the gal lant Fusiltas towards Allahabad ; thermometer above 100 deg.. ; 30, and even 40 mile marches ; no supplies to be had, living on flour and water. Oa reaching Allahabad at night - thewhole cantonment was in a blaze. The regiment had already muti nied, and slaughtered their officers with unheard of cruelty. The Sikhs had not actually mutinied, but they assisted the rebel regiments in pillaging the houses of the Europeans. This Sikh regiment plied the fatigued Fusileers with liquor, and the scene of dirt, drunkenness, and wretchedness baffled all description. The officers of the Fusileers went to the Sikh lines and up all the liquor they c3uld, to prevent the men from getting it, and they bought chests of champagne, beer, dic , at four and eight annas (6d. to Is.) a-bottle. Now I hear the inde fatigable Col. Ned is beginningto bring about some degree of order, and is hanging scores and scores of littlel do not hest-, official tidings for yet. I prisoners. am lßoougtiwnge to o e h t ea v r er m y ore, tate to affirm that each day of delay places all our lives in some jeopardy. "I know fr - om the very best authority that the Mahomedans are plotting at this plat?, but whe ther they dare rise will depend on how things go on in other places. • The events of the next weeks will be most momentous. At Madras the panic has been intense. I believe, too, that the Bars are reasonable. We have at. Bangalore a strong force, and the Madras S e p o y s h ave hith er t o p rove d l o y a l. There is one circumstance in our favour. We allow all our regiments to have their women and children with them in their lines, whereas in Bengal the Sepoy leaves his wife in the village, and is allowed to visit for a certain period every year. Our sys tem, doubtless, is a great check on the Sepoys, as they know that, in the event of their risin g , their families are in our power, but the Bengal soldier can roam at will.' The following is a 'copy of a letter from Adolphus de Kantzow, who so greatly distinguished himself at Meerut : " MYNPOOREE, JUNE 19. " The following is a correct copy of a letter from the Governor-General to me, just received via Agra. The dak was the last from Calcutta, and just before the road was closed : " Goveinment-bouse, Calcutta, June 7, 1857. "My dear Sir,—l have just read, in a report from the magistrates of Mynpooree, the account of yodr conduct upon the occasion of the mutiny of a portion of the 9th Regiment of Native Infantry at, that station on the 22d ult. I have read it with an admiration and respect I caucot adequately describe. 4• Young in years, and at the outset of your career, yon have given to youir brother soldiers a noble example of courage, patience, good judgment, and temper from which many may profit. " beg you to believe that it will never be for gotten by me. " 'I write this at once, that there may be no delay in making known to you that your conduct has not been overlooked. You will, of course, re ceive a more formal acknowledgment through the military department of the Goveinment of your admirable service. " I am, my dear Sir, yours very faithfully, " CANNING: " 'Lieutenant de Kautzow, 9th 8.N.1.' " The following is the Lieutenant's own account of his exploit . " I was returning from reconnoitring, when in formation was brought me that five troopers of the 7th Light Cavalry were coming along the An immediate pursuit was of course ordered by me, and my 39 troopers tore away at full speed after me. I was just coming up them, and had already let drive among the murdering villain., when lo I came upon 200 of their comrades, all armed with swords and some with carbines. A smart fire was kept up at a distance of not more than 25 yards. What could 39 do against 200 regular troopers well horsed and armed, particularly when walked into by the bullets of 100 of the infantry ? I ordered a retreat, but my cavalry could not get away from troopers mounted upon good stud-bred. horses ; so we were soon overtaken, and then commenced the shindy in earnest ; 12 troopers surrounded me ; the fiist, a Ma.homrue dari priest, I shot through the breast just as he was cutting me down ; this was my only pistol, so I was helpless as regards weapons, save my sword; this warded off a swinging cut given me by No. as also another by No. 3, but the fun could not last. I bitterly mourned not having a couple of revolvers, for I could have shot every man. My sword was cut down, and I got a slash on the head that blinded me, another on the arm that glanced, and only took a slice off. The third caught me on the side, but also glanced and bit me sideways. I know not how I e scaped. God only . knows, as 12 against one were fea rful odds, especially as I was mounted only on a pony. Escape, however, I did, and after many warm escapes too numerous to men tion I got back there. 14 of my brave fellows were killed, four wounded, six missing ; total 24, out of 39. Good odds, was it not !" He says in another letter (referring, as it is fancied, to his saving the gaol at Mynpooree from destruction) that be has been praised by the Major- General, Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, and his doings brought to the notice of the Governor-Gene ral ; and h 3 is now in command of the station of Mynpociree, and the remains of three native re giments there—an irregular force, in fact. ALLAHABAD. The following letter is from an of6on at Allaha. bad : "June 23. "1 may not have another opportunity of send;ng you a few words, as we have lots of hard work 1)3- fore us. I wrote you from Calcutta just before leaving on the 4th inst., and by dint of pushing on day and night I arrived with six brother officers at Benares on the 9th, just after the mutiny of the native troops at that station. Fortuna►ely for the residents there, a few of my regiment, with Colonel Neill and two companies of Her Majesty's ICth Regiment, had arrived two days before the row commenced. Colonel Neill, a man of energy, saw at once tde state of affairs, superseded the brigadier, and took command of the station, ordered a parade, and proceeded to disarm the native regiment. It has since come out in evidence that that very night the native troops were to have murdered the whole of the Europeans in garrison. " When the natives saw what was intended they instantly rushed to their arms, the Sdch regiment joining them, and poured a volley into the Euro peans, killing 10. However, the gunct, two in number, commenced at them with grape ; my regi ment, with the 10th, poured volley after volley into them, and even followed them into their lines, set fire to them and burnt a great many, and ti•e affair was over, for we had no cavalry to follow, they having sided with the mutineers at the com mencement. All that have since been caught have been hanged at once. " I arrived, as I said, on the morning of the 9th ; that same evening Colonel Neill took me with 40 of our men to endeavour to save or help the gar rison of this place, a most important fort, having the largest arsenal in this part of India. He had, however sent on 50 of -our men before, and they arrived the morning after the mutiny of the native troops here, but in time to save and hold the fort. My party arrived on the llth, doing upwards of 70 mites in two nights by aid of a lot of natives pus►ring our men along in light four-wheeled carriages. " The moment Colonel Neill arrived he set to work to turn the villains out of the city and cantonment; but I must tell you on the night thty mutinied the officers of the 6th Bengal Native In fantry, 17 in number, were at mess ; these mur derers sounded the alarm bugle, got all their officers on the parade ground, and then fired into them, killing 14 out of the 17. They then wont round the cantonment, burning all the houses, killing men, w , )mur, and children, and committing all, kinds of a' roci ties. " Well, the Colonel sent out a party of our men, 50 in number to attack and clear the city, or rather the suburbl. We lost two men killed and five wounded, and one officer, but it so frightened them that the next morning they all bolted. A much stronger party, 200 of our men under my command with guns and cavalry, the whole under Colonel Neill, swept right through the cantonment, and a steamer went along the river with guns, and we are now pretty quiet at this place, though the hang man is at work daily and the Colonel is not the man to spare them. "He (the Colonel) is now hard at work getting his force together to move on to the assistance of Cawnpore and Lucknow, both places being in the greatest danger, for all the Sepoys that have run away are now gathering round Lucknow. Our reports cone _ruing that city and- Cawnpore are mo,t gloomy, but reports in this country and at this time are always against us. You can have no idea of the awful weather arid of our suffering from the heat; we sit with wet clothes over our head, but the de tths from sun stroke continue large ; that dreadful scourge cholera has also broken out, and we have lost already 70 fighting men. lye buried 20 three night ago at one funeral, and the shrieks of the dying were something awful ; two poor ladies who were living over the hospital died, I believe, from fright. We have now got about 400 men outside the fort, and the disease is certainly on the decline. Up to to-day we have had little to eat ; indeed, I would not have fed a dog with my yesterday's breakfast, but our mess and the head-quarters arrived yesterday, and our fare was much better to-day. All the village people ran away, and any one who had worked for the Europeans these mur derers killed, so if the population was to a man against us we should stand but a bad chance. A poor baker was found with both his hands cut off, and his nose slit, became he had sent in bread to Ui. I need not say how anxiously we all look for a large army from England. We can hold our own well enough till it arrives, but India wad never in such a mess, and it requires many a strong arm and a wise head to put it in order again. The Ben gal army is to a man against us, and lam very nervous about Madras and Bombay; one single mischance, and those two armies follow. I fully expect to go on in advance with the first party to Cawnpore, so shall finish this off hastily, as we only get a few hours' notice. I have written to my poor wife, begging her to go home as quick as she can, for I cannot bear the idea of her being in such a country at such a timP, and I would give all I have ,to know she was on her way. We cannot leave this for the next two years at the earliest, and this mutiny might spread at any moment, so I long to hear of her being in safety. lam thankful. to say I am in sound health and fit for a campaign, though it is one I least expected, and almost envy Mortimer his high stool. I had a terrible march last week, concluding with a mile and a half in the dry sand of the Ganges in the middle of the day. I never felt anything like it in my life. One man actually lay down and died at the end of it. So much for soldiering." The Nord of Brussels publishes the following let .er from Madras "from its own c nTespondent :" " MADRAS, JULY 12. " India at the present moment, from Cape Co. motin to the foot of the Himalayas, is the theatre of the most horrible crimes and atrocities—officers murdered by their soldiers, women violated and cut in pieces, and children roasted alive before their parents' eyes. "Such are the scenes now witnessed in India, that fine country where, nevertheless, for a century the English have established their rule and laws. " This state of things has roused the East India Company's Government from its habitual apathy. The public press has taken hold of the question, and numerous pamphlets have been published. to point out the evil, its causes, and the remedies to be em ployed. " As it was the army which first gave the exam ple of revolt and crime, it is on its organisation that public attention was first directed, and all the or gans of the press coincide in discovering the evil — "1. In priority admitted as the only claim to promotion. " 2. In the little talent and military taste of the officers of the Indian army. "3. In the total want of sympathy between them and their men. "4. In the faulty organisation of the military government placed under the control of the civil service. " The native army, consisting of 73 regiments of 1,000 men each, tolerates patiently, but also con temptuously, its English officers, and from the statement of its commanding officers, who really took an interest in its organisation, it was a seert e nemy of the Indian Government. "A grear, General often observed that he feared the Sepoys more than an enemy on the frontier. " Tho army, which consists exclusively of Hiu does and Mussulmans, to whom the use of pork fat is expressly forbidden by tbeir religion, made a pre text of grease" cartridges given to them with a new description of musket, and they rose as one man at every military station. The soldiers first refused obedience ; they then fired on their officers (n parade, and then deserted their colours and their profession for ever. "The Government at first tried to persuaden two it self that it was only an accidental mutiny Governortinylor three discontented regiments, General issued a toproclamatio.n7de given them, t re assure the troops that other cartridges would b and that the Government would never interfere with their religion. The troops received the hours the pro clamation with very bad grace, and a after it had been officially read some regiments fired on their offi cers, burned their stations., and put to death all Europeans they met with, without regard to sex or age. "The so-called mutiny assumed the proportions of serious revolution, fomented throughout the whole 4 flndia by all the dethroned Ki ngs an d de • posed Mussulman Princes. " What is the cause of this revolution? Is it to be attributed to the greased cartridges, or solely to discontent among the Sepoys ? " No, it is to be attributed ,-- "1. To the policy of annexation, followed for many years by the representatives of the East India Company. "i To the unjust treatment of the women and heirs of the dep - _sed crowned heads. "3. To the breach of faith on the part of the Government towards the army on two different occasions. "4. To the humiliation of Europeans in favour of a few privileged class of natives and kluosulmttns 10 Ambg. Nottng. Bost. & Eastn. Juno 11 Belfast & Ballymena 11 Birmng.

ALLAHABAD, JuNE.2B. Here I am well and safe, thanks be to God, who has m-rcifolly preserved me and °thus from a cruel fate which has overtaken many of our dear friends. We have had a try;ng time of it, but, as far as Allahabad is concerned, all is well, for we have a large force of European soldiers, who would fight and beat off all creation if necessary, and which is being daily increased by reinforcements coming up from Calcutta. We have been so bewildered lately that I have lost all recollection of dates and of when I last wrote to you. We were incarcerated in that horrid fort from the 6th to the 18th of this month, and a fearful time we had of it. God grant that I may never pass such a time again ! Better to die by the sword fighting than to see such sights of hor ror and pass such a time of anxiety. I do not think that I told you in my last letter of the treachery of the 6,h Native Infantry, or of the fearful night of the 6th of June. I can hardly write it, so sad and miserable is the story. God, in His infinite mercy, preserved me from a dreadful death at the hands of the bloodthirsty Sepoys. I told you in my last let ter that we were apprehensive of an outbreak on the part of the city people, and that I bad taken up a position at the gaol ready to make ast ; that the officers of the 6th Native Infantry had all con fidence in their men, though we had not, for now no oue can trust those wretched natives. Well, matters went on quietly enough till Friday, the sth, when news of the disturbance at Bonares came up, with a report that a number of the insurgents were on their way to attack teis station. On the same day an order came from the Brigadier at Cawnpore to "man the fort with every available European, and make a good stead." We non-mili tary men were instantly ordered into the fort, being formed into a militia under the orders of the officer commanding the garrison. We Slept in the fort on that Friday, the sth, doing duty upon the ramparts, and returned to the station the following morning, but only for the morning, going into the fort again in the, afternoon. At this time we had in the fort about 30 invalid artillery soldiers, some few commissariat and magazine sergeants, and we volunteers muster ing above 100 men. There wore also 400 Sikhs and 80 of the wretched 6th guarding the main'gate. A great number of the European tnercheuts and half castes remained outside, believing the report to be only tee cry of " wolf," and supposing it to be a false alarm. The report of the appi oash of the in surgents was false ; but, alas ! would that the poor creatures had taken advice and joined us in the fort. Among those out ide were poor Capt. Birch, the Fort Adjutant, a married man, poor fellow, with a family ; Innes, the executive engineer, ho had the previous day resigned his appointment in the fort from ill-health, and had. gene up to his bunga low. My poor dear friend, Abxandor, of the Irre gel era, was in a garden near tile fort wish 150 of his troopers. Two guns, under Harward, of the Anillery, had been sent down to the river to guard the bridge of boats over the Gaines towards Benares. Hick., of the 6th Native Infantry, and two little grills were also stationed there in charge of two companies of that regiment. Well, all these poor fellows were out and wo were inside the fort, through the mercy of the Almighty. We were told 'off on our guard and had laid ourselves down on our beds (those who were riot on watch), when, about half-past 9, we heard wring in the station, and on the alarm bugle being sounded we ran up to the ramparts in breathless silence. The firing grew heavier, and we all thought that the insur geuts had entered the station, and were being beaten off by the regiment. So steady was the musketry, regular file firing ; on, on, it continued, volley after volley. " Oh,' we all said, " those gallant Sepoys are beatingoff the rebels,', for the firing grew fainter in the distance, as if they were driving a force out of the station. But before long the sad truth was known. Harward rode in bringing tidings that the Sepoys had risen, had seized' his guns, and had marched them up to the station. He had escaped, and had run up to poor Alexander's camp, who jumped on his horse and rode towards the lines, with as many of his men ascould be got ready ; he had been caught in an ambush by a body of the Sepoys lying in wait it an empty tank, and hid been killed by a musket being placed to his side, blowing out his heart. His poor body was br ,ught in later in the night, and I gave his hand a last shake, and shed teas over his last bed. The officers were at tress when the wretches sounded the alarm bugle to bring them to the pa rade, and shot them dom . . right and left ! Wretched murderers, may they revive their reward ! Nine poor little ensigns doing ;duty with the regiment were bayoneted to deati in the mess-room, and three of the officers who escaped heard their cries as they passed ! Poor boys,,who had never given offence to any native, btu caused dissatisfaction to the Sepoye Five officers were shot belonging to the regiment, besides the nine poor boys. Birch and Innes, with the sergeant-major, in all 17 mi litary men, many merchants, and others were most cruelly butchered—in all 50 2 Europeans fell that night by the hands of the murderous Sepoys. Tha l Treasury was plundered, the prisoners release I from gaol, and the work ce destruction commenced. The whole station was destroyed, house after house plundered and fired. What a night I Each moment we expected the Sikhs would turn on us, and then ! But the Almighty mercifully decreed otherwise. We disarmed. the Gill guard, at the main gate, and found the Tillains with loaded and capped muskets, ready.to tan out! What an escape we had ! Five officers came in, all having escaped in a wonderful maner—three naked, having had to swim the Ganges. We were all night under arms, and in the morning lay down on our cots sad and weary, etch moment expecting to be called up. The streets of the city are about half a mile from the fort, and during the four or five following days troops of ihe rioters were to be seen rushing from place to glace plundering and burning. Day and night we manned the ramparts in the hot blazing sun, and day and night the guns and mortars belched f ort h, throwing shell and grapehot, tearing do wn h ouses, an d scattering the demons wherever they were se w. We dared not leave the fort, far who knows what the Sikhs would have doneif ititadbeen left empty? However, let us not breathe one word of suspicion against them, for they behaved splendidly, though they are regular devils. We lived on in this way till the Madras Fusiliers came up and then our fun umb le began. We "volunte ers " were p a rted off into divi sions, three in numb er , an d your h servant was promoted to the rank of one, the "Flagstaff Division," with 30 railroad men under his com mand, right good stout fellows, every one of whom had been plundered, and were consequently as bloodthirsty as any dem ons nee d ire. We sallied forth several times with th e Sikh s into spared no one. We had severa l vo lleys the city, and had several skirmishes i n th e s t r eets, when we poured into us, but their firing was so wild that their bullets passed over and around us harmleeilY• staff w.ts always to th e f ron t they were so , and The flag daring and reckless that th e "flagstaff boys" be came a byword in the fort. Every rascality that was performed was put down, to them, and in the end the volunteers got a bad name for plundering. The Sikhs were great hands at it,' and, in spite of all precaution, brought a great amount of property in' o the fort. Such scenes of drunkenness I never beheld. Sikhs were to be seen drunk on duty on the ramparts, unable to bold their muskets. No one could blame them, for they are 'such jolly, jovial fellows, so different from other Sepoys. When we could once get out of the fort we were all over the place, cutting down all natives who showed any sign of opposition ; we enjoyed these trips very much, so pleasant it was to get out of • that horrid fort for a few hours. One trip I en joyed amazingly ; we got on board a steamer with a gun, while the Sikhs and Fusiliers marched up to the city ; we steamed up. throwing shot right and left, till we got up to the bad places, when we went on shore and peppered away with our guns, my old double-barrel that I brought out bringing down several niggers, so thirsty for vengeance was I. We -fired the places right and left, and the flames shot up the heavens as they spread, fanned'by the breeze, showing that the day of vengeance had fallen on the treacherous villains. The wicked 6th had marched out on the 7th, leaving two guns, and a Mussulma.n had set him self up in the city calling himself the agent of the King of Delhi, and calling on all natives, Hindoos, and true believers, to massacre all Europeans, and many poor fellows who }lad been in hiding fell into his hands and were murde. el. At last, when reinforcements came up, we all marched out, drove the insurgents out of the city, took possession of it end the station, where we have remained ever since in the collector's house—about 20 of us ; others are in the pucka (brick-built) houses that were not burnt ; and the FusilierS and 89th (Queen's) in the church. Every day we have had expeditions to burn and deetroy disaffected village , , and we have taken our revenge. I have been appointed chief of a commission for the trial of all natives charged with offences against Government and persons ; day by day we have strung up eight and ten men. We have the power of life and death in our hands, and I assure you we spare not. A very summary trial is all that takes place ; the condemned culprit is plated under a tee with a rope round his neck on the top of a carriage, and when it is pulled away off he swings. All is now well and quiet, but where smiling homes once existed are now only blackened walls and desolation. My old house is in ruins—it had Ijust been repaired for me—and my little house into which I had moved for a season is in the same which the Government wisLed to flatter to obtain loans from them. "b. To the tendency to, seize hold of the fortunes of Rajahs and millionaire nabobs. "6. To a alse application of what the Govern ment pleased itself to style philanthropy. "7. To the licentiousness of the native press. "Let us now examine each of th s'i causes :—. "1. The Government of the East India Corn- pany has annexed, without any reason, and most .unjustly, the kingdont. of Oude to its te'ritory. This false and clum , y po!icy areusel the indigna tion of the whole of that rich and populous country, and the Sepoys, who below , '' chiefly to Oude and the neighbou r i ng countries , took up arms for the cause of their King. " A great number of other deposed princes and princesses are actually receiving pensions from the Company, but, as it always endeavours to find means to reduce its expenditure by pretending that Vie women and heirs are not legitimate, it. has created a general common feeling of discontent among them which has made them the sworn ene mies of the Government, and actual events have proved that those kings and princes are at the head of a portion of the conspiracy which has broken cut. The Government has taken advantage of this to ehut up the King of Oude and his Prime Mini ster as prisoners in the fort at Calcutta; it will act likewise towards many other princes now receiving pension, and will thus save many lees of rupees. "2. A law has bean prepared, and is, it ie said, on the eve of being paste I, to prevent Raj•ths and other Incran millionaires leaving their property to indirect heirs ; thus, the possessor of only 1,000 rupees may leave them to his nephews and nieces, but any one possessing 10 lies .or more can only leave them to the Hon. East India Company. " This law, if we are to believe the natives, was framed with a view to the eventual death of certain Rajahs who have no legitimate children, especially to that of the Rajah of Bordwan, who possesses millions. This measure, it appears, in no manner pleased him, for he is one of the individuals com promised in the present movement. As regards the women, rightly or wrongly, public rumour prevails that the Government put them to death to avoid paying their pensions. A. journal, speaking of the rents of Mazpoere, said last year that they had been sent.to a pestilential . residencd that the pay ment might stop. "3. The Government broke its word towards the army. It had, in fact, promised the men that they should not cross the &a; now, in the Burmese war, it ordered four regiments to embArk. The first order was disobeyed. The troops had right on their side, yet they were dezimated and fire,' upon by English. caution. At the time of the Sikh war the army re fused, at a critical and decisive moment, to cross the Sutlej without a batta. The generals were ob liged to give in, and a b a tt a was granted. When Oude was annexed the Government, then is strength, &eared that the batta should cease to be paid. These facts, added to the discontent caused by the greased cartridges, brought about, with th e gold of the rajahs and of the kings, the present re volution in India. " 4. The Company's Government, despite its in credible resources, has always gonebeyond its mean., and has consequently been compelled to contract loans. It debts actually amount to 5,000,0001. ster ling. It was necessary to cajole or flatter a certain rich class in India, and to succeed, under the mask of philanthropy, native magistrates, judges, and official secretaries were appointed. These situations only doubled the hatred of the-Mussulman against the dog of a Christian;' and, though making money, the Government by n 9 means advanced the welfare of the country. _ _ _ " The Bengalee is a liar and a thief by his reli gion. Now, if you beat him or accuse him on losing 531:123 article or other, he leaves you , and brings an action for h;s wages. The judge, who is also a Ben galee, gives it against you, having probably received douceur, and the Government approves it because the court expenses are paid. "The result of all this is a general state of dis content among every class, whether white or black, Mahomedan, Hindoo, or Christian ; hence the cause of revolution. " The license abused by th 3 press in a country dissatisfied with English rule must have hastened the present outbreak. "The false philanthropists of India, under the masks of missionaries—Jesuits disguised—have at tacked a'l white officials and thclared themselves the friends of their black brothers. To them must be attributed the stories of torture on the high minded Bengalee. These discussions have tended much to lower the Governors of India in the opi nion of the natives, who have gradually acquired a complete contempt for Europeans. The Gover nor-General even is not excapted. A Government thus molested loses all dignity and respect, and, what is more, credit ; the _ last loan finds no re sponse. The signature of the Governor-General is not worth that of the smallest banker in the bazaar. " On their part, the Bengalese have abused the liberty of the press to make proclamations against the Government, to stir up regiments in the name of old dynasties, and to preach open revolution, while the missionaries, up to their work, converted colonels and generals to their ways, who attempted to read sermons to and make Christians of some of their men. The greased cartridges came as a finisher—so much so that on the one hand the de throned kings and the depose l rajahs, and on the other hand the soldiers who supported the Govern ment, and finally the people, imbued with a natu ral hatred of a Christian, entertained one idea, ono wish, one will—revolution and the blood of the white man. " The Government has at last appreciated the immensity of the evil. Orders have been sent to stop the troops for China. Bombay, Madras, and Colombo send what troops they can dispense with. " On the other hand, the internal Government is taking the followinr , severe and energetic measures : "1. Abolition of the freedom of the press throughout India. "2: Imprisonment of all suspected kings and rajahs. "3. Embodiment of the militia at every station. " 4. Fifty rupees for every deserter caught. "5. Abolition (projected) of every native school of the Government. " 6. Proclamation of martial law with all its rigours. Will these measures save India ? Never. They will increase the hatred of the black against the white. That will be the only result. " The only measures to be adopted are the fol lowing : " 1: The sending out of a permanent force of 50,000 Europeans, of which 10,000 men ought to be cavalry, on the system of the French Gendarmerie. . " 2: Tile immediate development of railways and high-roads. 3. The abolition of the tax imposed on natives holding official appointments. " 4. A municipal police on an honourable footing. " Unless such measures are adopted, believe me, my dear lir, the East India Company is doomed." LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)
