" "The three great ends which a statesman ought to pro pose to himself in the government of a uation are—security to pos sessors; facility to acquirers; and hope to all."—Coleridge. On the 24th of October will be published, No. 3 of " The States man." a First-c ass Weekly Newspaper. Price sd. Unstarnped, Gd. Stamped. Th , paramount object of" The Statesman" win be to promote the interest of the entire nation, irrespective of party or personal consi derations. In florin Politics " The Statesman" will support those principles of our cons•itutlon which have been esrablished by the will and reason of the Enzlish people, and will urge he extension of political sower in correspondence with the increasing intelligence of the community. In accordance with these principle " The States man" will seek to correct the abus.A and amend the defects of the representative system; it will support all measures for completine the great work of commercial reform ; it will aid in devel 'piflg the municipal power of local bodies, with a view to a more faithful and vigilant administration of local affairs, and a more prompt execution of the measures required for promoting health and general well being. The subject of Education is one which now occupies the most anxious thoughts of all earnest thinkers. • The Statesman" will endeavour to obtain the cordial co-operation of all those practical reformers to whom the public good is the supreme consideration. In pursuing this object, it will not confine itself merely to e discus sion of the various schemes which have been proposed for the educa tion of the labouring classes. The worst evils under which the nation is now suffering, spring mainly from the want of such a system of education among the middle and hicher classes as would teach them to be more earnest in the fultlmant of their duties. Without a reform in that direction we cannot expect much improve ment in the government of the nation from any system cf education for the poorer class. The principles of our own Constitution will be the guide in Foreign Policy, with a view to render it just, hold, and uncompromising. " The Statesman" will act with those politicians who seek to aid and animate the Government in giving its cordial co-operation to foreign states struggling to develope a freedom cognate with our own —a policy of sill-nee with constitutional governments forming the only true and practical counteracting force to the dynastic combina tions now threatened is Europe As regards India, wide diversities of opinion prevail. " The Statesman" will endeavour to show that the time has come for organizing the Government of that vast empire in a manner alike consistent with the dictates of Christianity, the welfare of India, and the true Interests of Great Britain. Party Politicians and Anti- National Journalists may try to show that, in India, these objects are irreconelleable. " The Statesman" will seek to unite those patriots who believe that the national conscience,and an enlightened regard for the national weal, equally demand that our Eastern Emp're shall no longer be governed by the short-sighted policy of Leadenhall•street. The s'artling events of the last few years, no less than the present aspect of affairs, have taught politicians that the efficiency of the army is one of the first elements of national independence and na tional strength. "The statesman'' will give its hearty support to the various measures required to make the army, in the largest seas° of the word, efficient, and accessible to all ranks of her Ma jesty's subjects. In the Liter,ry portion of the paper the main object will be to give the readers of " The Statesman" full and accurate information as to what is going forward in tho various departments of the Book world.

Astonished and outraged as I was at this sudden and unexpected attack at such a moment, and when I was prepared to have seen the grave close over all past animosity and oppression —all unre pented of as I feared them to be--I immedi ately cast from me with disdain the false charges of which I had been accused, and, turning my at tention simply to the fact which was so evident, namely, an attempt to overreach us in the presence of witnesses, I addressed Lord Berkeley and , said, " Now answer me this simple question—Have you not all your life told me, and did you not toll me so late as yesterday, that I might set my heart at rest, for that nothing you had done in the mat ter of the peerage could affect my future interests and those of my sons—that all you had done was but for your life I" Lord Berkeley distinctly and without hesitation, replied, "I have, and did tell you so." I then turned round on what at once assumed the appearance of a packed meeting for an especial purpose, and mid, " What moro, gentlemen, do you require 2" Then arose a Babel of voices, for dista tl s t t e e f re u i pl t y o o m f a nLordyof theß er b k y e s l t e a y n d s e e e r i s n . e d ivi t r o . b A o u n r i u o i s .. t tus Berkeley and Mr. Henry Berkeley exclaimed together, add ress i ng me, " We deny that you re the heir -presumptive," &c. ' &c., whil e C o l onel Kingscote • inquired of Mr. Boodle "if Moreton Berkeley (the present earl) bad power to cut ofrthe eat til, and if he had done so." Mr. Boodle replied that he had, and that he had done so. On this, I arid to Lord Berkeley, "just answer me another simple question. Had you ever a deed pladed before you and explained to you for that purpose ? Have you ever hail in your possession any such deeds, or copies of this deed, or any other papers whatever relating to it in your possession 1" His reply to this was—" No, I don't know, I am no lawyer,.l know of no deeds nor papers." Mr. Henry Berkeley then, among the confusion of voices, put a question so dictatorisl and so ridicu bais that I theright it needed no notice from me ; he slid, addressing the Earl of Berkeley, "That is, Moreton, you know when you said you did not worn to affect your brother Grantley's interests you meant, of course, his intereets as a younger brother." The earl replied "Yes," and then added, as if recollecting some lesson, "Oh ! 3 es, I believe what my mother told me in preference to anybody," or words to that effect.. - 17t , elly false as these gross charges made against me by Sr Maurice were—for I had never attacked him in any way, nor been guill of one tic- towards him which was not. iris kindness and affection--and enraged by the fact that the words " cajoled and cheated" had been furnishe.l him from a it.tor of mine, marked "private and confid , 'Vial," to Colonel Kingscote, I address-cl the assembly to the following effect. I told theta I had. come to Berke ley Castle under the most friendly and affectionate feelings, and on a civil invitation from Sir Maurice Berkeley, and that I little expected to find myself and to see my brother, Lord Berkeley, on so - solemn an occasion, disgracefully and indecently entrapped, to aid the continuous designs on the inliri ance of the earldom, myself, and my slid diem Time, place, and persons were equally im proper. I know that I stood aUne among them, and bad not a friend present, and that under feel ings a r indecently outraged as mine wore I would not stay one moment longer there than I could help. I should decline the funeral and retire to iny - room till the ceremony was over, and then order my carriage and return 'ionic, leaving them b attend the. House of God, and to reconcile prayer with their recent act, if their ConEeienc.es would permit them to do so. Alas ! I was now no longer surprised that my sons were not asked to attend the funeral, for it was too evident but one class of witnesses were desired. The public and the county of Gloucester will now know why I felt myself forced to take a painful step, and the false rumours that seem to have been purposely set abroad to my injury will receive theirrefutation, p Oil.

"As regards' t he.period of the launch, I have fur tome time pest calculated upon being reit' i y by the first tides of next month ; and, by the -unwearied exertions of those on whose agssistance I have de pended, with the advantage of unusually fine wea ther, the principal works acquired are s s far ad vanced that-the - e seems every prospect of success ; but a change in the weather is threatening, the time remaining is shirt, and comparatively small causes may creite such delay as to render it more prudent, if not unavoidable, to post p sne the opera tion until the fellowing available tide—nanely. that of D. ember 2, as no mere &etre so launch on the day supposed to have been fixed will induce me to hurry an operation. - of such importance, or to omit the precaution of a careful and deliberate ex amination of all the parts of the arrangements, after all the principal works of preperetion shall have been completed. Should such postponement prove necessary, or be adopted from prudence, everything having been now prepared, the launch would be on the 2d of December. As regards the nature of the operation, it has frequently been stated, but it seems necessary torepest it, that the ship will not be "launched" in the ordinary sense of the term, but merely lowered or drawn down to low water wark, to be thence floated off by a stow and laborious operation,- requiring two and pos sibly three tides, and very pribable effected partly in the night, and at ,no one time offer ing any particularly in eresting spectacle, or even the excitement of risk, as I am happy to feel that, even assuming accidents to • occur, or miscalculations to have been made rendering the operation unsucceeeful, the ship may stop h 3:f-way down, or not move at ail, more power or other remedies may have to be applied, bet no injury to the ship can result from any failure in the course of proceeding in this mode of launching.

EXTRAORDINARY FREAK OF A COW. —The vicinity of the "Town Clock" and Market -arcade was suddenly startled from the more than ordinary quiet and pro priety it observed on Saturday last, on the occasion of the funeral obsequies of the late Earl Fitzbardinge, by a singular and almost unexampled occurrence in the his tory of le bceuf gras. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon, as a couple of fat cows, belonging to Mr. Page, butcher, were being driven up the High-street, one of them made 4 precipitate bolt into the shop of Mr. Witherspoon, draper, next door to the Market -arcade. Mr. Wither spoon's dausAter was behind the counter at the time, and two of the younger children ware at the back a p ! of the shop, which is very narrow.

THE LAST OVERLAND Mons.—lt will be recollected that the last B wohay mail arrived at Suez on the 2d inst., three days before the Calcutta mail. Great efforts were made to convey this mail rapidly through Egypt, but owing to the obstacles thrown in the way by the Egyptian authorities, a considerable delay took place. In consequence of this delay there was only just time to put the mail on board her Majesty's iiteamship Caradco, waiting at Alexandria for the Siamese Princes. The conduct of the Egyptian authorities is to be brought to the notice of the English government. The Pacha of Egypt happened to be at Suez when the Bombay mail arrived there. As it happened the Calcutta mail arrived via Cagliari, and the Calcuttaand Bombay Mails reached Marseilles nearly together. A considerable savi ng been ol time might ha ve b een e ff ec t e d, if a steamer ha ready at Alexand r i a on the 3d inst., to start fur Malta and Cagliari, and the Bombay mail had not beeudelaYed in Egypt. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1857, THE INDIAN MUTINIES. The delivery of the heavy portion of the Indian Mail, which has arrived via Southampton, places us in possession of a few details of news comple mentary of that by the Overland Mail. We select a few of the more important items : THE STEAM FLOTILLA ON THE GANGES ABOVE ALLAHABAD. The following is from on board the Hon. Com pany's steam gun-boat Jumna, dated Allahabad, 23i August : "By my last letter from this place I informed you that we were to proceed on an expedition to Cawnpore. We left this on the evening of the 19th, and arrived at Monnepore on the morning of the 21st. This place is about 4 miles below Kalley Kuncar (which I learn is 'well fortified), and about 50 milts below Cawnpore. Having reason to be lieve that this fortification is friendly to us (and for other reasons which I have not been able to dis cover), we returned towards Allahabad from Mon nepore, burning up at that place 5 country boats, broke up 1, and took 2 in tow that were laden with railway materials, which were made over to the Thanadar and Zamiudar at Kara. About 2 miles below (Shaadpore) we scuttled 7 country boats, and about 4 miles further (Narsiug) we scuttled 3 more, burnt 1, and took 2in tow. lof these we broke up the same evening, after anchoring at the mouth of the Nullah, running under a large village called Jehauabad, on the Oude territory, intending to reconnoitre the place at daylight. In this Nullah 14 country boats were moored. At 4.30 a.m. of the 22nd instant (Saturday) Lieutenant Batt sent a pin nace's crew down, and with one of our 12 pounders in her, to reconnoitre, under charge of a midshipman (Mr. Parker, of Auckland). The commander of the vessel also went in the jolly boat to sound the Nullah, and the rebels very kindly advised him to return, but he opened fire on the pinnace, which she returned with canister. None were wounded ; seeing this we got the Jumna under way, backed her into the Nullab, brought up, and engaged the enemy. The firing on both sides was kept up about 1 hour, and in the engage ment one Lase tr was killed, about three feet from me, one wounded in the hand, one European sea man mortally wounded, and another slightly i❑ the forehead. A ball struck another seaman on his belt (but did him no injury), struck the table, and broke the log slate. Our force being too small to cope with the enemy, who began with round shot, and moreover being under strong cover, hove up, steamed out of the Nullah, anchored in the stream, and began shelling the enemy, after destroying as much as possible the boats that were in the Nullab. Our comings are riddled with balls, but the Jumna has stood the whole well. The engagement lasted in all about 5i hour., and we expended 167 rounds of shell and round shot ; and of rifle ammunition, 580 rounds by the seamen, 620 by Fusiliers, and 230 by the Seikhs. Our force consisted of only 29 seamen belonging to the steam frigates Zonobia, Punjaub, and Auckland ; 20 of the Madras Ist Fusiliers, under command of Lieutenant Barclay ; as also 14 Sikhs. The enemy have built up several breast works, and appear to number about 3,000. Nothing further of any interest has transpired, and it is my humble opinion that it would be madness to ap proach the place without a strong land force. We have just returned, and I am thankful to say I am quite well."—Calcutta Phoenix. Nukbee Khan, the arch-traitor, shall be executed. THE POPULATION OF OUDE. We (Calcutta Phcenix) subjoin an extract from a letter from au officer with the force, dated Aug. 8, and written at a place about eight miles from the Ganges, on is left bank, in the Ode territory ‘` We have advanced twice against the enemy, inflicting s evere l ess upon him on b ot h occasions. We ha ve a l so suffered ourselves from casualties in the field, and from cholera and the sun. We are weak and see no prospect of reinforcements from the [lower provinces, which has probably been the ,cause of our pulling up where we are and not pro ceeding further towards Lucki.ow. Every village here is a fort, and of some strength too, well garri soned and arme d . The entire population are sol diers, and on w hi c h s i de I need not say. The bridge over the Go om t y h as been destroyed by the enemy, and to mak e matters worap, they have strongly stockaded th e oppos i te bank of the river. Their stocka& is garnished with heavy guns. The force of the enemy about Luckliow is said to be 38,000 men of all arms, and they expect reinforcements from the neighbourhood to the tune of 20,000 mere. Thus, you see, we are sadly overmatched." NAVAL AND MILITARf INTELLIGENCE Yesterday the court-martial appointed to try Lieutenant George William Vansittart Yule, Royal Engineers, at Chatham, was occupied in hearing evidence in support of the list charge preferred against the prisoner—that of scandalous conduct, unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentle man, in having falsely stated that he was out all day on the sth of September, and therolute could not answer an official letter addressed to him by order of Colonel Sandham. The let er from Colonel Sandham was provedtohave been del' vered at the prisoner's quarters on the nartr ion of the sth of September, with directions to the servant to give it immediately to Lieutenant Yule. The letter was taken to the prisoner, who was asleep in bed, the servant waking him and informing him that it was "On Service." Pr.soner. however, took no notice of the letter, which was then laid on a table. On that day the prisoner did not leave his bed till five o'clock in the afternoon. He afterwards told the colonel that he bad not seen the letter a•ldressed to him, which was his reason for allowing it to remain unanswered, and he further stated that he was not at home when the letter arrived. Lieutenant-Colonel Reynolds, the Deputy Judge-Advocate, then informed the Court that toe evidence for the prosecution was closed. The pri soner, when called upon for his defence, prayed the Court to allow him time to prepate hts defence, which request the President at once granted, giving the prisoner until Tuesday morning for that purpose. The Inspector General of Musketry Ins ruction, Col. C. C. Hay, has arrived at Chatham, from the Sohool of Musketry at Hythe, for the purpose ( f inquiring into the progress of the oflicersiact troops stationed at that garrison in /he theory and prac tice of the Enfield rifle. The number of troops daily undfrming instruction iu the use of the Mini(' rifle at Chatham is upwards of 300, and a second-class instructor from Hythe has been attached to each bAttalion in order to ha ten the instructions of the drifters and men who are about to proceed to India. The following officers, under orders to proceed to India, have joined their depots at Chatham : Captain J. M. Lyle, 29th Regiment, and Eti-ign W. Walsely, 84th Regiment. Leave of absence, previous to their embarkation, has bon granted to Lieut. R. D. Knight and Lieut. R. H. Lewis, 94th Regiment. The monster cannon whieb was put through a see ies of preliminary trials on Monday at Woolwich was examined yesterday preparatory to a cont.nua tion of experiments.

The Hannibal, 91, screw, will haul out of the steam basin dock at Portsmouth to-day, and havo her masts taken out of her to undergo a thorough survey.__ The Urgent, 6, screw troop frigate, Commander John W. D. M'Donald, went out of the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon, and attended by the Echo, steam tug, Mr. Harding in couimand, proceeded to the measured mile at Stokes Bay, first taking a turn round the Nab Light to warm her engines, and to correct a little priming which was visible. This d.fficulty havinz been overcome, she made her first run with the tide, and performed the distance in 4 minutes 19 seconds. She returned against the tide, doing the distance in 5 minutes 20 seconds. She took other two runs with the like results, and as a mean of the whole she gives a most satisfactory averaged speed of 12 full knots an hour. Her engines are of 400 nominal horse power, and worked like a lathe. The average of her revolutions were 69, barometer 24, and steam pressure say 13 lb. She has accom plished a knot an hour more than was expected of ' her, and she may be pronounced a most healthy and eff i cient troop frigate. In corning into the harbour her gallant commander ordered the star board cutter to be manned and lowered, which was dose by every hand or stranger, and in a few seconds, thus proving its simplicity and value. The Urgent has moored alongside the Victorious hulk, where she will complete for sea. The freightship Oscar was yestercl ty taken up by Government for the conveyance of military stores from Woolwich Arsenal to Cape Coast Castle ; and the Lady Macdonald, for Hong Kong ; the De pendent, for Bahamas ; the Lobilia, for Sydney ; the Sir G.

I • Mr. Richards, pilot, who landed at Plymouth yesterday (Friday) morning, reports that the screw steam transport, Prince Albert, Commander Watti, which left Spitboad the previous evening with the 72d Highlanders, a battering train, &c., for Bom bay, experienced a Ane passage down Channel, and was all well at eight in the morning, with every prospect of a successful voyage. Oa ThuriJay afternoon a large steamship, with two funnels, was observed off Plymouth, going up Channel with a disabled sailing ship in t•or. A new species of sills pump, invented by Mr. W. Roberta, of Mi israll, has jut been subjec'ed to a series of experiments by the authorities of W0 , ,1-wich wich Arsenal on board the flagship Fisgard. The result is that the committee have recommended that the pump el - Juld be introduced into the navy. The simplicity fits construction and the facility with which it can be moved from place to place are among its chief recommendations, while its admirable working qualities were proved by the fact that it pumped 800 gallons of water over the decks of the Fisgard in 7 min. 45 sec., or 1031 gallons per minute. THE MILITIA. The sth Northumberland Fusiliers, a new regi ment, is in course of formation. Liberal terms have been offered to recruits. It is understood that the Royal North Lincoln shire Militia will be called upon to undertake gar rison duty in the Mediterranean. The Royal Glsmorganahire Militia has been in trainine , at Swansea. The regi•nent will not at present be ordered for embodiment. - Tae Cardiganshire Militia has just completed its ordinary period of trainieg. The regiment is slid to be in a high state of efficiency. The Royal North Gloceatershire Militia are or dered to reassemble at Cirencester on Tuesday, the 3d of November. A RUSSIAN CANNON FIRED UPON AN ENGLISH TOWN.—Tae generosity of the Government in the dis tribution of the guns taken from the enemy in the hte war seems likely to lead to some inoonvenience to the grateful recipients. A few days since c considerable alarm was excited at midnight in the borough of Read ing by a tremendous explosion, the cause of which at first could not be divined. It appears that the patriotic inhabitant...ll)f the borough some time since petitioned Lord Panunure that one of the large guns captured from the Russians in the Crimea might be presented to the town, as an enduring trophy of British prowese. A lengthy correspondence took place between the inhabit ants and the War-office, and at length the joyful news was officially communicated that a piece of artillery of the largest calibre was about to be forwarded to the borough. The inhabitants, grateful for this signal mark of favour, had a costly and elaborate piece of machinery constructed on which to mount the formidable weapon. In doe time it arrived at the station, and was carried amidst the demonstrations of the loyal to the site selected for its reception on Foshury-bill—an eminence which, it may be observed, dominates the town. Here it was planed in what washoped to be a state of repose ; hut its isolated position offered too great a temptation to some of the amateur artillerymen of the borough. One night last week, about "the witching hour," some ardent students of the art of gunnery stormed the bill, capt , ired the gun, and actually had the hardihood to load it with a heavy charge of gunpowder and gravel, and turn it upon the devoted town and its slumbering inhabitants. A fearful report announced that some terrible catastrophe had occurred. The windows in the neighbouring houses were shattered, the gaslights were extinguished, a terrible gloom overshadowed the town, and two police men on duty at the Great Western station were nearly killed (with fright) by the concussion of the atmosphere. The alarm which this joke created was, so great that it was at first supposed some of the locomotives at one of the tbree termini which Reading possesses bad exploded, spreading death and desolation around. The gun, the immediate cause of this commotion, has already cost the inhabitants about 501. for conveyance and mounting, and that expenditure will probably have to be increased by the weekly stipend of a retired Crimean, warrior to be stationed on the hill to prevent future experiments by the amateur gunners of the neighbourhood, GENERAL OUTRAM. We have the very highest authority for assuring the public, that General O u t ram i s no t i n t h e slightest dgree responsible for the detention of her Majesty's 90th Foot and sth Fusiliers at Dina pore. From information in our possession, we feel justified iu saying that never was a greater injustice done to a gallant officer than has been done to General Outram in this case. The General was never made aware that the two corps had been detained on their upward voyage, until he arrived near Patna. So anxious was he then to hasten their advance that he sent his private secretary, and his aides-de-camp (Messrs. Money and Sitwell) on AAA. at 10 o'clock at nioht. from where the steamer had brought up, to the city of Patna—a distance of seven or eight miles—to despatch an express to ' prevent the detention of the reinforcements for a single moment. These gentlemen reached Patna in as short a time as possible, but unfortunately the express was not in time to prevent her Majesty's 90th from being recalled to Dinapore, to General Outram's great ve xa ti on . A s cholera had broken out in the flat Nemesis, the delay of a d ay was demanded at Dinapore by the superintending sur geon to purify the vessel, and' put up some addi tional comforts. In the meantime, we are assured that General Outram Las never ceased to urge the advance of the reinforcements intended fir Cawn- pore, and that his first consideration on arriving at Allahabad, where he arrived before the 90th, was to make arrangements for their marching the mo ment they arrived. So that the public can see that General Outram is not tko party answerable for the detention of the troops intended to reinforce General Havelock.--Phoenix, Sept. 8. THE KING OF OUDE. A late number of the Mofussilite contained an article offering some evidence to prove the com plicity of the King of Oude aid his people, in the events which are now disturbing India. After a few words introductory, the article proceeds : " Early in April last an Armenian gentleman mentioned in the course of conversation with the Consular representative in Calcutta of a Europe at kingdom, that some of the big men attached to the King of Oude's eAtablishatent at Garden Reach, had applied to him some time previously for a correct list of the number and location of all the European troops in India, and for particulars con cernin.; our military resources ; wbicli, if we re member correctly what was related to ns by the Consul, the Armenian furnished to the best of his ability. "Although the Kin g o f Oude is too ignoranf, fat, and ltzy tr possess either the ability or incli nation to take a personally active part in any busi ness whatever, yet he bas in his suite many men of considerable talent and energy, who do acts and make promi ses i n hi s Majesty ' s name, for which the royal faineant is decidedly responsible ; and that these men had a motive in seeking the information we have described, it is unnecessary to assert ; and what, in our opinion, that motive was it is now equally unnecessary to explain. " When the mutinous spirit in the Bengal army first displayed itself, the present writer, having then just heard of the conversation he has men tioned, made an allusion in the columns of a Cal cutta journal to the possibility of the King of Oude's servants and advisers being implicated in the mutiny, or at any rate possessing a foreknowledge of its coming, and he was in consequence personally. threatened with punishment by his Majesty's Euro pean Vakeel, and the paper itself barely escaped prosecution. However, later events show convinc ingly that such a widely spread insurrection must hays been determined upon long before the explo sion occurred, and its breaking out in so many places at once shows also that it • was an organised conspiracy, in which there can be no doubt the principal Mahomedans in India, including those about the person of the King of Oude, were, if not the originators, at auy rate accessories before the fact. "It is.not impossible that theOudean nobles, re collecting that the insurrection in Cabul and -the difficulties we experienced in that country, led eventually to our restoring his kingdom to Dost Mahomed, then a prisoner in Calcutta, may have imagined that similar difficulties in Oude, such as have now occurred (in spite of the masterly rule of Lawrence) were calculated to lead to a similar re sult iu the case of their own king. " it is therefore by no means improbable that the 0 udean nobles about the king may have originated, joined, or, at the very least, connived at and con cealed their knowledge of the projected outbreak, arguing with themselves in the manner we have described—and the fact of the king residing peace ably and quietly in Calcutta, and the queen and heir -apparent being in England—the former by her Iribits and character not likely to be suspected of political intrigues, and the latter being engaged in agitating his cause with the sympathising people of England in a constitutional manner—were circum stances very much in fay.ur of the policy we have ascribed to the nobles, leading to the issue we sup pose them t o h ave ant i cipated. " The evidence now published in the Mofassilitc is almost superfluous. of Government are in possession f tl-1 ,igo a t ur e Posfttc9m.p et e proofs of th e gu il t o f t h e King and Seditious te r d o a c r u e n i i n e n t t s h e w p i with e t io s n e a o l i a g n o d . verement. lie of course denies that th ey are genuine ; b ut to cal 1 them for ger i es i s th e on l y pos sible detercfe he could make und er th e circum stances.

A correspondent of one of the Madras journals suggesta to Lord Harris the advisability of raising , regiments composed entirely of native Christians, and doing so forthwith. He thinks that with the aid of iniasionaries some 25,000 able-bodied men might be procured, that is if government is satin tied with able-bodied melt, and doe 4 not look for a grenadier stature iu its recruits. The native Chris tians are not at present very willing to enlist in the native infantry regiments, for, as might be ex pected from the barbarous ignorance of the Hin does and Malennedans, the latter affect to look down upon the Christian sepoys as men who have abandoned their caste. If all that we have beard and read of Jesuits and of other missionaries and their enterprises in Southern India is not fallacious, a far larger number of Christian reccruits than 25,000 might be procured in the Madras presi dency. Why an attempt is not male to embody them into separate regiments, we are at a loss to conjecture. It has hitherto been the policy of the Indian government to discourage the enlistment of native Christians. No native Christian, is unneces sary say, /would have been received into auy of the Bengal regiments, and if a sepoy of any of these corps became a Christian, he would have been turned out. This was one of the concessions made to those bodies of men who have proved so gloriously "st tuncl►".-_.but it was a concession which was) necessary, when we re• member that from the very earliest, times the mode of recruiting adopted in the Bengal army was rotten to the core. There was, however, no such necessity fordiscouraging the enlistment of Christians in either the Bombay or Madras armies, and measures might have been taken to induce greater numbers of them to join the corps of those presidencies than are now to be found in them. The great desideratum, how ever, is to have regiments composed solely of native Christians. Such a step will have the effect of ele vating the native Christians in their own esteem, and showing them that Government does not regard them as outcasts as the Mahomedaus and undone do. One of the results of such a course would be, that the regiments would never want recruits. We need not say that we are adverse to any tampering w►th the religions of the races of this country; bat on the other hand, we do say, if the Government of India thinks it politic to have a goodly number of regiments of native Christian soldiers, that if it now raises a few corps of such men, and treats them with indulgence nod favour, it will be little less than astonishing how thick native Christian appli cants for enrolment will be found to present them selves in the course of a very few years.—Pitsenix, Sept. 5. NANA SARIB. • The Bombay Gazette has the following, relative to the antecedents of the scoundrel Naua Sahib:— " The Konkan 13ralnins, we learn, are loud, in their execration of Iheir confrere Nana Sahib; and well they may, for a greater monster of wickedness use sentom trodden btie face this fallen world. He was born, it appears, in the village of Ven, in the talooka of N aarapoor , near t h e roots of 'the mountain of Malheran. His father was a begging Biretta who went to Bithoor in the hop e o f occasion ally sharing in the charity of the ex-Pesliwah, of whose gottra, or clan, he was a member. The Pesliwah set his eyes upon his boy Nana, and made him, with others, an adopted son, that he might join in the funeral and other ahaddra,s, intended to miti gate the Peshwah's sufferings or promote his well being either in his now birth in this world, or in his ethereal abode above the skies. Nan a's elevation was too much for him to bear, and at an early age he gra duated in the school of debauch e ry aad licentiousness What a proficient be has become in the practice of evil all India now Lows. However he may end his days, he may depend upon being elevated i o the gibbet of eternal infamy. Query—Will any Brah min be found base enough to perform his shruddle?' To tie above it may be added that to au ordi nary observer Nana Sahib would have seemed one of the least likely natives of th is coun! ry to perpetrate the atrocities he has been guilty of. He appeared what is called a native of E ug t s h t as tes. He spoke our languag e , an d affected European ref i nement. At Bithoor he lived in a style of costly profusion, and stories are told of magnificent revels held by him on the Gauges, with a fleet of boats gaily orna mented, and freighted with musicians, (ire. During his visit to Calcutta, he was a gr.at patron of the jewellers, and it was not unusual with him to turn round to whoever happened to be in his company and say, "Now, take whatever you like best in the shop : I'll pay f or it .
