THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, WS.

" sons towards whom it is oar duty to feel good will,
" and for whose welfare it is our duty to labour; bat
" that is not enough. It is not enough to award
" them as objects upon whose our benevolence may
" be exercised, or as persons upon whom it is in our
" power to operate important changes for good,
" We must look upon them also as men with whom,
" and not against whom, we have to work—as men
" with feelings of their own—as men who, although
politically subject to us, have a sense of their own
" rights, and a respect for the.. own independence
" —and as men who will be apt to be all the more
" tenacious of their intellectual independence and
" national customs because of the political sub-
" jectioo in which they are held. There can be no
" doubt that the position of a conquering and govern-
" int race confers many advantages as regards
" the influence which may be exercised over
" a conquered people ; but that position carries
" with it this disadvantage—that a conquering race
" almost inevitably displays a certain *ease of saps-
" riority—a certain arrogance, if that be not too
" harsh a word to cume—a certain disregard of the
" feelings of others, which, *not being placed under
" such circumstances, it is hardly passible for us to
" understand. Ido not hesitate to say that, unless
" we keep within proper bounds our feelings of
" national superiority, unless we remember care-
" tally, and even jealously, to respect the feelings,
"and even the prejudices of those with whom we
" have to deal—above all, if we attempt to intro-
" dace the force and influence of Government into
" that which ought to be matter of pi ;rate convict
" time between man and his own conscience, or if we
" are even suspected, upon plausible grounds, of at-
" tempting or intending it, our endeavours at Mr-
" provement will be thrown back in our face as ;g-
-" salts, and we shall end by doing more harm than
These are the sentiments of a true Statesman and
an enlightened Christian. There eon be no greater
mistake than that of confounding the ancient and
anispt semi-civilisation of India with the gross and
simple savagery of African, or Australian, or Poly-
nesian aborigines. The profound and dreamy idealism
of Hindoo philosophy—the immemorial deity of
Hindoo usages—the impure but imposing ceremonial
of Riede° superstitioo, which pervades life from the
cradle to the grave—these things are not to be
ignored, but to be deeply meditated by the
dominant nation to whose destiny it has fallen to
rule over the millions of India. It is not
with simple natures, er unfurnished minds, that
the European government of India or the Christian
missionaries of India have to deal. In many a
broad province of that vast region there are still
to be found fierce and intractable souls, reluctantly
succumbing to an inevitable yoke; everywhere
there is to be encountered great subtlety of dis-
putation; an ardent attachment to ancient insti-
tutions ; a bigoted and internee devotion to a religion
which not only affects to teach the mysteries of
Theogony and the ceremonies of worship, but pre-
scribes the bounds of society and regulates the
forms of life. Among such a people as this
the arrogance of a dom;sant race, if imported
into missionary effort, must necessarily pro-
duce effects the most disastrous. Lord Brartunt
has touched upon a truth of universal history when
be reminds u that races held in political subjection
are on that very account all the more tenacious of
their intellectual independence and national customs.
The fear that the political subjection in which we
hold India was about to be organised into an uni-
versal assendancy over the opinions, the modes of
belief, and the social habits of oar Asiatic subjects--
this, more than any other single canes, was really at
the root of what we may now venture to call the late
insurrection. It is on all grounds a matter of public
congratulation that the Minister to whom is en-
trussed the task of inaugurating the new system of
Indian government should have had the statesman-
like boldness, explicitly to insist upon the duty of
respecting not only the feelings but even the preju-
dices of those whom it is our high destiny to rule,
and to utter a solemn warning against any attempt
" to introduce the force and influence of Government
" into that which ought to be matter of private con-
" riction between man and his own conscience."

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE MEETING AT WARSAW.
The Prince of Prussia arrived at Warsaw on the
evening of the 24th ult. The Emperor Alexander
had been in the theatre for half an hour, when he
was informed of the arrival of his lingua relative.
His Majesty went at once to the station to receive
him, and afterwards conducted him to the Belvidere
Palace. On the 26th the Emperor end Prince
visited the camp at Powonski, and reviewed the
troops, which defiled twice before his Majesty. The
troops formed an effective force of 30,000 men—
namely 43 battalions, 28 squadrons, and 64 pieces
of artillery. At each defile the Prince of Prussia
put himself at the head of his regiment—the Beluga
infantry regiment.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(7/011 OITR OWN

PARIS, TEVINDAT ISTINIWO.

The 'Pays of yesterday evening has an slide
beginning with the following imposing structure of
words :—" Among the questions whose solution the
government pursues with a steady perseverance,
there are some which, because wanting in the
attractiveness belonging to political questions, have
none the lees a character of usefulness and impor-
tance, which it is impossible to ignore, and to
which it is our duty to direct the attention of orr
readers. This is the more desirable because three
subjects almost invariably *moon; the oommercial and
manufacturing interests of the community; in respect
of which interests the solicitude of the government
is worthy of all praise.' Now seeing that the Pays is
a semi-official organ, and sometimes speaks the words
of inspiration, after reading this exordium one na-
turally looks with some anxiety for the particular
subject of commercial or manufacturing interest
concerning which a new act of the government is
about to be recorded. Hasa flood of politico-eoono-
laical light suddenly buret upon the ironmasters of
France ? litre the Prince Napoleon and Michel
IChevalier met secretly in the cabinet at Biarritz P
Is the thin end of the free-trade wedge to be in-
troduoed, by the substitution of a small flied
duty for the sliding scale of 1832? This
tremendous flourish of trumpets announces none
of these events. It simply announces the fact
that England during the last session of parliament
made a reduction in the duties on various French
manafactured articles (beaver hats, stearine wax
and what not), the latter in particular having been
reduced from 3s. Bd. to 2s. 4d. the quintal ; that
Greece has reduced her tariffs on certain articks de
Paris; and that Sweden has done ►way with cer-
tain differential dues which heretofore weighed
upon French shipping, upon which triumphs the
Pays onstinues to observe :

It is midway to the solicitude of the Prim& administer
Yon Wt commerce, and above all P 113116111 commeres, time
I Are modilostions ; and it ought to be galistrl kw that
solioltuds. To make foreign markets more and more moss-
I tittle to us, while at the ewes time favouring the Internal
earl .... at production, is to understand and to practice tn
the mod intelligent and profitable manner the difficult
Mimes caned poi:Rail economy, conowning which so meaty
Mai dismiss are constantly advocated. The Fresh ad-
misaskaelsa, which knows bettor then ever how tv
stand apart horn settled resolutions and preconceived
tiets,laboars to resolve them difficult questions both extarnal/y
sad laternelly, to the greatest possible benefit of the French
tennmential movement; sad insensibly the country is daily
melded to profit by its efforts. It ie by aotivg thus that it
pintos itself above 'shoots and theories, and advisees
towards the sad it proposes to itself, which fa the most
brilliant and favourable development of French commerce
and mailafactures.

Now what is the grain of wheat hidden in all this
bushel of chaff ? If the sentence means anything, it
means that France is to get as much as she ran of
other people, and to give se little as possible herself;
that in proportion as other commercial barriers are
lowered, hers shall be raised. Bat it would be pay-
ing the French ►dministration a poor compliment to
imagine it so short-sighted as to believe that it will
long continue thus to shut itself up in an isolated
commercial policy.
The Patrie has a short article against the return
to the sliding scale. It says :
We saw in 1816 sad 185.1 the goverment, in the prossoos
of high prloss, hams, sad with reason, to abolish every tax

The Unions of Turin says the Russian General
Baghawood, who resides at Nioe, has asked' for a
ooncemiois for a railway from Villatrenea to Coed by

Ifrilg UNITED STATE&

ARRIVAL OF THE FULTON.
The Fulton has arrived at Cowes, on her way to
Havre. She left New York on the 18th tilt. This
date is three days later than the lest from New York.
The State elections are being prepared for by the
meeting of oonventions of the different parties in
each State, to agree on a list of candidates, or " plat-
form," a+ it is called. _ . _

Everything remains peaceable at Quarantine, and
the utmoet good feeling apparently exists between
the rebels and the military now quartered on Staten
Island.

We have news from Utah to the 20th August, a
week later than proclaim accounts. The Indians
were peaceable. Brigham Young still kept himself
hid, fearing, it is said, the vengeanoe of the Mor-
mons, who are reported as being greatly incensed
against the Prophet in consequence of some revela-
tions concerning his business transactions with the
Saints. The Mormons were returning to Salt Lake
City and resuming their ordinary avocations.
The Union Bank, at Kinderhook, Columbia
county, was robbed on the night of the 13th ult.
of specie and bank notes to the amount of 10,000
dollars. The thieves obtained access to the money
by blowing open the bank vault with gunpowder.
The explosion shattered the windows of the build-
ing, demolished the furniture, and aroused the slum-
bering inhabitants of the village, but the robbery wag
not discovered till after daylight. A description of
the inspected burglars has been forwarded to the
police of this city, and a reward of 2,000 dole. is
offered for their apprehension.
The first overland mail to California left the St.
Louis post-office on the 16th September. It goes by
railroad to Tipton, Mo., and thence by coaches and
spring waggons to San Francisco.
The Mail party bring full confirmation of the
reports relative to the richness of the South Platte
gold mines. Many miners, without tools, and with
no appliance other than a tin pan, were getting from
three to five dollars per day.
Hon. Sherrard Clemens, member for Congress,
and 0. Jennings Wise, editor of the Richmond
Enquirer, fought a duel near Richmond, on the
17th. Mr. Clemens's thigh was fractured, and Mr.
Wise came out of the conflict unharmed. Mr.
Clemens was the challenger.
Through the agent, Colonel Kelly, the ladies of
New York intend presenting to Captain Waters,
commander of the Galway and New York steam-
ship Prince Albert, an Irish commercial flag, on the
occasion of his next departure from that port.
The papers mention the death of Mr. Paine' Eddy,
late superintendent of the American Telegraph Com-
pany's lines, and honorary director of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company. Mr. Eddy was indefatigable
in the performance of hie office, and wore himself
out in the service of the company.
News has been received at Charleston, S.C., of the
capture on the coast of Africa of the brig St.
Andrew, by a British cruiser, on suspicion of being
a slaver. The St. Andrew formerly belonged to
Charleston, but the Courier is under the impression
that she was sold to parties in Cuba. She and her
crew were taken to St. Helens, to await an
investigation.

less end of the cliff is a row of tenements, which sr* woo-
