LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7.

11Daroe from the seat of mutinous war in India cut
once more a shade of grief and gloom over the coon-
try's heart. The but-beloved of all her gallant sou
has rank at last into the grave. HavaLocx—the in-
trepid, indefatigable soldier—the calm and clear-eyed
chief, the generous and self-forgetting friend of
the helpless, the humble, and the weak—the bout
of I.:s men, and the pride of his race—he
upon whose features men most wished to
look when, as we hoped, he would return
home to enjoy his honours and rewards—HA VELOCK
is no more. He has fallen, not by the traitor sward
of deserters from the standard he would never lower
or furl, but by the same fate that has struck
down so many of our best and braved 012411
cheeses, brought on by exhaustion of body sad
too long protracted anxiety of mind. The fey
equanimity amid km sad disaster, amid
struggle and uisertainty, amid immature
vietory and incomplete moms, which the
noble-hearted leader felt it to be essential to
show, has east us dear. The ►lade ham at length
worn away the scabbard. He who relieved others
from impending death disdained to be himself
relieved from its menace; and the deliverer of
thousands would not seek deliverance for himself
from the equally pitiless and inexorable pestilence
that walks in darkling and haunts the camp of
those who have seesped the danger. of the battle-
day. Since the news reached England of the death
of Sir loan NOORZ, the announcement of no
British soldier's km ham been calculated to
cause deeper or more genuine emotion than
that which it i onr painful duty this day to
record. That the departed General should not have
lived to learn the manner in which his eminent
eer ices had been appreciated by his country, is
the least part of our regrets. We mourn and blush
to think bow short the acknowledgments, in sere
respects, fell of what was due; and we deplore—
not for his sake, but for our own—that they elsoild
have been so tardily accorded. To him it maims
not. He sleeps well; no madness of mutiny Of
infirmity of support in its resultant*, or thought of
danger and dishonour to the young and fair who
looked to him for help, or manly sorrow at the
sufferings he could not avert. sae trouble his spirit
further. For him the wicked have now ceased from
troubling, and his wearied wayworn spirit is at rest.

We have also news of a severe check sustained
by the brigade under General WINDIIIIII, near
Cawnpore. From the electric brevity of the
information that has reached us we can only
venture to infer that, mimed as to the
strength of the Owalior mutineers, the General,
who had succeeded in wifely forwarding the
women and children southward, on their way to
Allahabad, preferred to attack the enemy in the
open field to awaiting them within the oft
taken and retaken town, and that with
this view he had advanced some dis-
tance from the city, when he was assailed
by overwhelming numbers, and compelled, after a
sharp conflict, to fall back. We are told of the Ices
of his tents, but not of the capture by the insurgents
of any of his guns ; and we may assume, we think,
that, although his corps appears to have
suffered severely—especially the 84th Regiment of
Foot—he succeeded in making good his retreat with-
out bather molestation. Upon learning, at Xack-
now of the temporary reverse, the CONXAXDrs-nr-
Cntre hastened at once to succour his lieutenant sad
retrieve his lose ; and this he apparently succeeded
in doing so rapidly and thoroughly, that we as.
told the Gwalior rebels were attacked and routed
a few days later, and that the whole of their maga-
zines, stores, and sixteen pieces of artillery were
captured.

While thus the onward flow of the current of
victory is at interr►. checked by unlooked-for
obstacle', its destined course remains unaltered.
The end indeed is not yet; but it is clearly in sight
and cannot now be distant.

Tux mods of missionary action hitherto
adopted In various heathen countries independent
of oar sway is that to which we ought to adhere in
India. Oar missions have been conducted, not by
Government, but by associations of private indivi-
duals. The missionary agents have entered heathen
lands where our power is enfelt and commenced
their operations, ukiag for nothing more than tole.
mice at the hands of the rulers. As they have laid
claims to no minicnlove powers, the sincerity of their
converts is, under such circumstances, open to no
suspicion. No cue whom they addressed could have
any motive to profess Christianity, except a rinser*
conviction. Christianity then disseminated mast

work for good, inasmuch as the raver% will
be real, not mere nominal, Christians. T 4
same process must be pursued is India if
wish to make real converts of the natives.
In India the manse nation which sends the mission-
aries appoints the civil and military authorities. If
these authorities take von them to seek by favour
or intimidation to win professing converts to their
own national faith, from that moment we an no
loner be certain of the sincerity of conversions ; we
shall be much more likely to multiply cowardly, am-
bitious, or avaricious liars, than spiritual Christians.
This is a result to be dreaded beyond any other.
The putrescence of the finest and noblest °reeler
tions is the most deadly and disgusting of all. The
mere outward profession of Christianity as a cloak
for indulgence of the most irregular, selfish, end
hurtful desires is were* than the most ignorant
Paganism. It warms men in their evil propensities,
rendering them ineradicable. It confirms the hos-
tility of the unconverted, who naturally believe those
men to be Christians who call themselves such, and
judge of their so-called Christianity by its fruits.
These appear to be simple, self-evident truths, and
yet it is especially necessary at this moment to bring
them prominently forward. The very fervour with
which the cause of Missions is at present advocated
is apt to impel men to questionable modes of pro-
moting their great object. When the pardons we
roused we are ever liable to overleap the impedimenta
which abstract rearm or justice imposes. In our
eagerness to attain our ends, we neglect to scrutinise
the means closely. Men often do, in the head
of blood, with the best intention, things whisk
they afterwards regret and blame themselvee
It would be invidious to refer to individual oases;
but no man can have read, calmly and deliberately
in his closet, some of the speeches recently delivered
at missionary meetings, without feeling that we
ought at this moment to be especially as Olt pad
against temptations to do evil that good =sr 4••••
In these circumstances it is cheering to reflect an dm
monad principles announced by many of the mud
experienced and intelligent labourers in the ae•
rosary vineyard. At the public meeting reported
in oar yesterday's issue, the Rev. Mr. Siam, a
Bengal missionary, said truly and wisely : " He did
" not ask the Government to pay the missionaries,
• or to print the Bible, or to take any active step to
" propagate Christianity. They might give India better
• kw* and an improved system of government if
• they could ; but, in regard to religion, all he asked
• was that Christianity should be allowed to Mend

upon the same footing of equality u HindooUn,
and those false and idolatrous systems which the
" Government now fostered and encouraged. Let
1,411 have fair play, and Christianity would
• hiumph." Mr. MARIIIMAN, who is hereditarily
knsedated with the cause of Missions in India, spoke
k the same strain :—" Let there bs honed a eespse-
" pensive proclamation, announcing to the people et
" India the religious principle upon whichthe Govern-
" meat of that country was hereafter tots, senikeied,
" which should inform the natives that we are a
" Christian people, governed by Christian primal-
" ples, and shall continue to be so governed; that
" these principles will guide us in the government
" of their country, bat that while we profess Chris-
" dimity we allow every man to follow what religion
"he pleases." And the Rev. W. CHALXIIIII M.
lowed this up by "repudiating the notion that =we
" bishops were needed for India. All that was se-
" (piled was to leave the Church free to do her own
" work without State interference. . . . They
" did not seek to make converts by force, or by the
" bribery of patronage, bat by conscientious convict.-
" tion." These are sound principles, and if they
are adhered to by the Mends of Missions, the pre-
sent re-kindling of missionary zeal must work
powerfully for good in India.
