Those to whom the local government of our Eastern empire was intrusted have had every motive to preserve peace and to avoid war. Nevertheless, they have almost all engaged in war, and those who have avoided doing so have con fessedly left it as an inheritance to their successnrs: and of the Board of Control, the very institution of which was associated with the object of preventing the pursuit of schemes of aggrandizement end the extension of domi- men which this observation includes have either been in their turns tainted with the culpable ambition of which the Indian Governors are accused, or that. their fuller in formation obliged them to give the sanction of their ap probation to such wars, from being . satisfied that they 6385 ere may be some c 453 , were just and expedient. 5974 it is possible to prove that the temperament or the judge ment of individuals has precipitwed a contest ; but, on the 1 391 other hand, it is clear that the most moderate have been compelled to the same course, and that the orders of 4146 superiors and the enactments of law have not only failed in t , avertinz the growth of our _ end proposed, that of _ power, but have actually caused it to be more rapid than it otherwise wou!d have been.

SUICIDE.—On Monday morning, a gentleman, named Lamb, a London merchant, who had been in Lodgings on the King's-road for rather more than a week, cut his the unfortunate gentleman. who bad been in a low des ponding way, left his wife in bed. and retired to an ante room to commit tLe act of self-destruction.

They had been amusing themselves with the boat at Stonehaven, and drifted out to sea. After tossing upon the waves f,,r a considerable time, without fond and with out oars, until they were nearly exhausted, they were for tunately observed and rescued.—Montrose Review. BUYING ONE'S OWN.—A small shopkeeper at Bristol, on his way ho m e, hearing a boy crying cigars. " three a penny," made a bargain fora lot, provided on try in g them they suited him. He bought a pennywor th, and went for a light ; but on his return missed the vendor . On reachin g home, he discov e red that three boxes of cigar s had been stolen from his own window ; and his mortification was heightened en finding that, instead of a penny, he had given half-a-crown to the thief for three "real Havanners." though the number of vessels resorting to these islands is far greater than it bail ever previously been, no single act of hostility was ever again committed.

Every one of his disciples was obliged to serve es a sol dier, to carry some kind of weapon, wear blue -; and let their hair and beard grow. The Sikhs despise to bacco, because it renders them impure ; and, like the Hindoos, they hold the bull as holy. But by this spirit of moderation and patience are the Gooroos, their present priests, and the Akalis, fanatical fakirs, no longer inspired, for the Musselmen can only quietly and secretly co n du ct their religious worship. The Akalis acknowledge no au. perior ; they only endure their princes, whom they abuse :it their pleasure, whose life they would, without any re spect, attempt, if he interfered with any of their projects. They are usually armed with a round iron weapon , which is carried either at the point of the flawing turban, or at their side. It consists of flat iron rings, from eight to fourteen inches in diameter, whose outer edge is exceed inplv sharp, and which they are so skilled in whirling round their finger or a stick, and then darting it at the ob ject aimed at, as to unfailingly sever the head from the trunk. Several of these Akalis form a peculiar troop in the army of the Maharajah. The Grauth, the Bible of the Sikhs, which contains their commandments, is the sole object of their reverence ; in nearly every village it is to rments, ply themselves with lanterns, bought express] purpose, the candles of which were duly lighted approach to the various tunnels.

DISSENSIONS AMONG THE JEWS.—A "disruption," says a new religions paper called the Balance, " has tiken place among the Jews of London, which promises to be productive. of momentous results. It appears that for some time past a feeling has been growing up among the more enlightened and liberal of the English Jews that very great reform ought to be made in the ritual of the I that they are not bound to abide by the synapgue, Interpretations given by the rabbis, but are at liberty to put their own construction on difficult passages. As a necessary consequence they repudiate the autho,ity of the Talmud, and resolve to acknowledge no other standard of truth than the law and the prophets. The result his g been, that great division,: have occurred among the Jew. ish congrtgatioris in the metropolis. A number of tht seceders have opened a new synagogue for themselves it Burton-street. where they steadily meet for worship. Mr Goldsmid, and several of the most influential persons be. ing to the Jewi:h persuasion, have joined the The approaching Birmingham Triennial Musical Festi val, which is fixed to take place in the last week of_ Aug-_ ust next, is already beginning to excite the attention of the musical public, as cne of the most prominent points of interest of the present year.
