The prayer of the memorial was that the council might take steps to secure the Parliament fields, and have them converted into a public park The letter stated that part of that ground was now being takeri as building ground, and would soon be so occupied as to prevent a park being formed, The petitioners were in favour of the inner boulevard. The majority of the council seemed to prefer the outer boulevard, as it would be more favourable to sanitary improvements. repoit at length the discussion which took place on the subject. The matter ended in the proceedings of the committee, together with the report of the borough engineer on the subject being referred back to committee, with instructions to report to the council as soon as possible what course the committee might think advisable to adopt. -e.--- THE LATEST INDIA CAPTURE. SCARCELY have the nation's thanksgivings for the suppression of the rebellion in India, been offered up to that Providence " who ordereth all things that are in Heaven and earth, " and by whose most gracious favour our arms have been successful in overcoming one of the most formidable insurrections that ever a Government had to encounter, than we have the gratifying intelligence of a capture, which will not only rid our Eastern Empire of a deadly foe to its prosperity, because an inveterate disturber of its peace, but will at the same time have a moral influence upon the native population that cannot but be permanently conducive to its welfare. We have ever believed that it was the native chiefs as those who had first instigated, and then aggravated and pro longed the rebellion, that ought, if possible, to be secured and made examples of for the public good. And one of these—and no insignificant one -has at length been taken. He is not, it is true, the monster whose capture would be hailed with so much joy throughout the length and breadth of this kingdom, and, we believe, by the great bulk of the empire of British India also. It is not NANA SAHIB, the brutal and bloodthirsty perpetrator of outrages on our countrymen and countrywomen —the cold-blooded and cowardly torturer and slayer of women and children, —we only wish it had been. But is is another, though not, perhaps, quite so atrocious a monster—it is TANTIA TOPEE, whose bloody . deeds are of suffi cient enormity to entitle him to a punishment of no ordinary severity. " This fortunate blow," says the account, " was struck on the 7th of April, and was preceded by two important events—a complete defeat of the rebels under the RAO and FEROZE SHAH in the Seronge jungles on the sth of April, and the sur render on the 2nd of the same month of the rebels under the Gwalior Chief, MAUN SINGH." It was, no doubt, the defeat of this band of rebels which led to his capture. The sanguinary wretch might, it is believed, have escaped, and have continued to elude his pursuers, by taking refuge in the mountain for- custody orders for his disposal THE NORTHERN TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1859 tresses. But the defeat of almost the last remaining band of the insurgents and the surrender of the sur vivors;- including the Gwalior Chief, MAUN SINGH; would appear to have reduced the latter to such a state of despair, that he gave up all as irretrievably lost; and pointed out, it is understood, where his rebellious confederate, the detestable TANTIA TOPEE, would be found, and how he could be secured. The official telegram thus' stated the important event : " Rajah MAUN SINGH surrendered to Major MEADE'S column at Mahoodra, on the 2nd. of April. The column under Colonel DE SALTS and Colonel RICH, in combined movement in the Seronge jungles, have overtaken the rebels of the RAO SAHIB, FEROZE SH lA, and TANTIA TOPEE, and killed 500. Neither of the leaders of the rebels known to be killed, but some native officers, many Vailaitees, one of the first Bombay Lancers, and some of the Gwa liot Body Guard." Another 'telegram thus announced it, as communicated to Lord ELPHINSTONE,— " TANTIA TOPEE captured by this detachment:with MALTN SINGH'S assistance last night. He is now a prisoner in camp, „awaiting. orders for his dis 7 posal." It is here : officially..stated, that it was with MAUN SINGH'S assistance the capture Was made ; and this circumstance confirms the opinion, that all hope was gone =that there was no chance, or, the shadow of one, left ; and that, therefore, TANTIA TOPEE'S continuance at large could do no good; whilst,' his falling into the hands .of the victors, through their means, might perchance propitiate their clemency: No further particulars of the capture have yet come to hand. He,was, however, in safe a prisoner in the British camp, awaiting And then the question would have to be decided what was to be his punishment ? How was he to be disposed of ? That his life was forfeited that he had forfeited a hundred lives, had he got them to surrender —his crimes were such as could leave no doubt whatever. Whether or not the Indian authori- ties would dispose of hiin at once, without awaiting any instructions from her Ziajesty's Government here at home —we do not at present know. He was no ordinary criminal We are no advocates for a sanguinary revenge. But he ha - d certainly provoked should be a si final one, and his disposal, therefore, one—if ever miscreant did. Yet it is, after all, more example that it is to be considered, than punish ment. It has been said, that " the very worst use to which you can put a man is to hang him." But this must always very much depend upon circum- It is not, we repeat, to be considered as a question of vengeance, or even of retribution, but of Vengeance and retribution are in the hands of Him who is the Judge of the whole earth —the King of kings, and Lord of lords. It is the re- stance example man is left to himself, and recognises no restraint to his power from Divine law, there is apt to arise a strong temptation to compel obedience, to revenge opposition, and to deter from crime, by a continued aggravation of punishment. The whole theory of punishment," he continues, " must indeed be affected by such an act. Of its three great ends, one —the one which the Supreme Being chiefly proposes to Himself, and chiefly entrusts to His ministers - the exhibition of the moral law of retribution, and of moral reprobation itself,—must be wholly sacrificed, as it is too much sacrificed at present, to the inferior and often hopeless objects of deterring by example, and of correcting the offender. And hence it is argued, that " men cannot punish, except in the hope of warning or of improving, and his punish- merits must therefore be regulated only by views of expediency." But the fact is, that the State, of itself, is' not now in a position to. do more. —it does not, as a present constituted, possess either the ability or the authority to do more. It must there fore do what it can. Whether or not it can exhibit thereby " the moral law of retribution, or of moral, reprobation itself," it must at ,least. endeavour to show its sense of the enormity of such crimes as those of these monsters of the Indian rebellion. It may well be regretted. that the State can do no There must be no unnecessary severity in any exercise of its penal code, that may now or at any time be demanded —certainly not anything that would deserve the imputation of cruelty those whom Providence has placed among a people as their rulers, are not only authorised, but. bound, to make examples of great offenders. They " bear not the sword in vain." Thousands of lives have been sacrificed through the crimes of those, one of whom has now been captured. The same class of men will still exist —with the same animosities ; and they must at least be taught to know and feel, that if they are guilty of such horrible offences as those which, in this rebellion, have been so atrociously committed, retribution will overtake them, even in this world. d OUR NATIONAL DEFENCE " EVEN if it were not prudent to arm for the maintenance of neutrality, self-defence requires a continuance of all reasonable precautions. England is far less safe from attack than Austria might have been deemed only two years ago. The Emperor of the French has shoivn that, when he wishes to employ his army, he can never be at a loss for a pretext of quarrel." This remark of an able and farseeing contemporary is only too true. are no alarmists, nor would it be excusable for Englishmen to Ovince the slightest feeling of alarm at so critical a moment. But it is impossible not to be anxious. For our part, we are humbly of opinion, that there can be no' question of the prudence of being armed "for the maintenance of neutrality." Mr. HENLEY has well observed, at the hustings, in Oxfordshire, this week, in allusion to the war,— " I hope we shall have discretion enough to keep out of it ; but I hope also that any Government which may be in power will take care to keep the resources of this country well supplied, and to keep our forces in hand ready for anything." And to be thus pre pared—thus " ready for anything" -to have our resources well supplied, and to " keep our forces in hand,"—this, of course, is to be armed for the main tenance of neutrality. In one plain word, it is an " armed neutrality ;" which is the only kind of neutrality that the country can safely- be placed in. But, as well as this, as it is stated, " self-defence requires a continuance of all reasonable precautions." And it is most satisfactory to find that the Govern ment are fully alive to this necessity, and the im portance of such precautions. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEdUER has given a renewed assurance of this within the last few days. The most effectual preparations are being made for eventual danger,-.. and not only for this, but that England, as a security for her own safely, and the tranquillity of Europe too, may be in readiness to assert her influence at any moment with effect. And what, then, does he show, is the condition of England, in that respect, at this most critical moment ? " it is not," he says, "in any boastfulness, but it is, I hope, with the becoming pride of an Englishman, speaking to Englishmen, that I tell you what is the situation of the country. You have in India 100,0000 seasoned and valiant troops, such, probably, as never before existed in the world —equal to that army which Wellington rendered immortal. A great portion of these troops ought to quit India for England. They are at our command, and if they come here it is not from the necessity of England, but because the happy course of affairs in India, and the position of the Indian Government renders it desirable that they should quit India. You have in England at this moment 100,000 valiant and disciplined men, not equal -perhaps to the men who have been. seasoned in the illustrious campaigns of [ndia, but disciplined soldiers; and valiant, I need not say, because they _are your countrymen.."• - So much for the army the regular army—independently 'Of any extraordintni - military resourcei; which could so 'readily be called forth. Two - hundred thousand British troops were no insignificant military force, it must be confessed. Such a national defence as this, at such a moment, ought to set . the nation's mind at ease. And then there is that other great arm of national defence. See what on the same high authority, is'stated to be the actual strength of the I was told by one of. the hon. gentlemen who preceded me that nothing should satisfy him but that we should have a powerful fleet in the Channel. I say to you that before six weeks have elapsed not only shall we have a powerful fleet in the Channel, but a powerful fleet in the Mediterranean also." And these positions-the Channel, and the Mediterranean—are just the points where our defence and protection, may ere long be the most urgently required. But there is another provision of national defenCe that may perhaps, . to be had recourse to, and which the Government, it Would seem, have already thought of. The Secretary of State for the Home Department, Mr. SOTHERON ESTCOURT, in addressing his constituents in North Wiltshire this week, has expressed himself upon the Whole subject of our defence in very encouraging terms. "We shall take care," he told them, "to proceed with our own defensive preparations ; we shall do everything that can be thought reasonably necessary ; and, if requisite, when Parlia;ment meets, we shall call upon them, as we :are entitled to do, to give us an indemnity. Neither the Parliament, nor indeed any Englishman, would grudge the money that might be required to preserve the country from insult." Certainly they would not. The exigency is too unquestionable, and too urgent, to hesitate about such a thing. Our preservation, not only from insult, but from something even more serious, because more material, than insult; must be pro vided for; and the Minister that neglected it would deserve to be impeached. There is, however, another; an additional expe dient, to which the Home Secretary alluded, as though the Government had considered it, and resolved on its adoption, , advert," he says, "for one-moment to a subject connected with this. I wish to take the opportunity of saying that if, in this counts, as in some others, there are gallant spirits ready to enrol themselves in : rifle corps, we shall be glad to receive the assurance of their willitr- ness to do so, and as far as Government is concerned, with the sanction of. Parliament, we shall be glad to facilitate such desires and intentions. If the occasion should continue —if the danger should remain —we shall not be wanting in Wiltshire in providing a sufficient number of young' men who will show the capacity they possess in defe Ain; themselves, should that be rendered needful." This declaration was received, it appears, with enthusiastic acclamation - a resp - m - 4 , .3 which unmistakably indicated the readi ness of the incn of Wiltshire to give their military es to the country in the way suggested.. And servic, we are quite sure that hero, •in Lanea3 gestion will meet with a similar hearty acquiescence hire, the sus- Whether, therefore, it may happen to turn out, that the Emperor of the - French shall seek a pretext for quarrel with us, and the old Napoleonic threat of a descent upon our coasts, in pursuance of his animo sity, be indulged in, or be attempted to be carried into effect ; or whatever other necessity for self defence may chance to arise; all reasonable, all requisite precautions may thus be taken, and the country be thereby prepared for any emergency. All party dissensions must, in such a case, be scattered to the winds. We must all unite as one man to repel the common enemy. Our national defence must be that of all parties, and of all classes. Our strength is to be in our union. And such a strength, we may rest assured, must render us so impregnable, that— " Come the three corners of the world in arms, • And we shall shock them Non9;ht shall make us rue, If Lapland to herself do prove but true !" The Herald, in reply to the Daily News, asserts, in the most positive manner, that England has no understanding, no arrangement or agreement, written or verbal, expressed or implied, with Prassia, or any other country, respecting present war. A. SOLDIER SHOT -ARREST OF THE - COMMANDINC OFFICER. —A soldier was shot at the Curragh, while a firing party of the 14th Regiment, under the command of an officer, were shooting at a target. A private soldier,who was acting as buttsman, was accidentally shot dead, in con sequence, it is said, of the neglect of the officer in command, who has been placed under arrest.—Freeman. MR. ASPINALL TURNER, M.P. It is reported, both here and in Manchester, that Mr. Turner made a distinct agree ment~ with the Tory party in Manchester, that if they upported him for the borough his Whig friends should upport the Tory candidates for South Lancashire. This, at least, is certain. Mr. Turner was the second to sign the requisition to Mr. Heywood to come forward, and yet he did not vote for Mr. Heywood, and many of his supporters canvassed zealously for Messrs. Egerton and Legh. The Manchester Guardian has assured us that Mr. Turner's conduct was owing to his personal dislike for Mr. Cheetham' s Manchester committee, who were also working for Mr. Heywood. This excuse is in itself most frivolous, but it is also, we believe, far from conveying the whole truth. We would ask Mr. Turner, whether the Tory party did not expostulate with him on having signed that requisition to Mr. Heywood, and whether he did not then withdraw his name and support from the Liberal candidate, in order to secure his own seat. He has gained his seat by the desertion of his principles, and at the sacrifice of ail honourable consistency. The Liberal party here and elsewhere are justly indignant at this story of Mr. Turner's treachery; and if this gentleman can explain away his conduct, or put it in a more favourable light, we recommend him to lose no time in doing so. Meanwhile, we hope the Reform Club and Boodle's will let Mr. Turner know what their opinion is. THE.

THE SHIPPING INTEREST.—Outward bound merchant ships are experiencing inconvenience, from the loss of their crews, at Gravesend, through the attraction of the Govern ment bounty.

Henle and' Co.'s circular, chiefly to a great demand for coals at all the Mediterranean ports, and a sudden activity in the grain trade. - Ties AMPHITHEATRE.—There have been but very limited audiences in this theatre during the week, although Harry Boleno's excellent company invited popular attention. The regular Company of this theatre has had, we are glad to notice, a very valuable addition, in the person of Mr. Cowper, who has assumed the part of leading tragedian. Mr, Cowper is by many degrees superior to any performer who filled that position in the local company for many years, and gives fair promise of one day holding a leading rank in his profession. His manner is perhaps somewhat monotonously declamatory at present, but, so far as we may judge, he appears possessed of that intelligence and flexibility which will give him the desire and the power to control any defect of style common to rising actors. We have not yet seen enough of Mr. Cowper to speak more in detail of his performance ; but, from what we have seen, our opinion has been almost entirely favourable, Miss he valub an interest Page sustains, in no sligh of the Amphitheatre company THEATRE ltoYxL.—Notwithstan ding that the unusually bright and warm weather is decidedly unfavourable to in-door amusement, Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams have succeeded in cramming the pit and galleries, and nearly filling the boxes, every night Of the present week. No ne;v j piece has, we believe, been produced; but Mr. and Mrs. Williams appear to have the faculty of making: . the old as effective as the new. We canuot help expressing a strong regret that these very clever performers should so often draw upon the very dangerous resources of extravagance to make their talents more popular. Extravagance is not all downright coarseness and vulgarity are not unfrequently evident in the acting of Mr. Williams especially. The and sending them up again ; in exemplifying certain modes of dispensing with the use of a pocket-handkerchief, and various other performances of a somewhat similar character, may unfortunately draw forth a momentary burst of laughter frOm a portion of every popular audience ; but any actor who seeks to maintain a lasting and an honourable position upon the stage, will surely do well to avoid the laughter which such tricks may create. Mr. Williams really has a vein of natural humour so rich and strong that he 'is wholly inexcusable when he endeaVours to improve it by means so vulgar and unseemly. Mr. Blake.ey, a recent addition to this company, would also be a much better actor if he would rely less upon grimaces and incessant contortions of countenance. Mr. Barfoot, another new member, is an excellent comic actor, and a very valuable acquisition to the theatre. Mr. Neville ig a gen tlemanly, an intelligent, and an improving performer; and our old acquaintance, Mrs. Power, needs no new com mendation.
