Tye intelligence from India conveyed by the
present telegrams may be regarded as on the whole
favourable. The mutiny at Mooltan on the leaday
of August, of the disarmed 62nd and 69th Bengal
Native Infantry, proves only the desperate fanaticism
of revolt which has taken possession of the Sepoy
army. It produced no other consequence than that
which, under the circumstance., wee inevitable—the
almost total extermination of a body of men who,
though deprived of the means of offence, had
not abated one jot of the spirit of insur-
rection. Apart from this miserable episode,
the general character of our news from India is such
as to corroborate the belief that the flames of insur-
rection are being tactually got under. It is no
longer a general conflagration, but a series of scat-
tered eatbreeks, rather annoying than dangerous.
In Oude it seems evident that there has been a
oonsiderable defection in the rebel forces. The latest
intelligence—that from Allahabad of the 6th of Sep-
tember--represents the bulk of the Oude insurgents
that still keep the field to be concentrated at Jugdes-
pore, some twenty miles from Sultanpore, on the
Lucknow road. They are stated to number about
6,000, and to have with them eight gun,. A thou-
sand men and twenty-two guns are stationed in •
fort at no greet distance. It is obvious that when
the cold season sets in, the troops collected ands:Lord
CLYDE will have no difficulty in crushing any force
that can be brought into the field in Oxide i and if It
be tree, se alleged, that the Swum of Lucettow is
seeking to make conditions for her own safety by
promising the surrender of the Nate, It is clear
that the game of insurrection is regarded as
desperate in what has hitherto been its stronghold.
The fugitives, who had been driven from Posvree on
the 22nd of August by ColonelSsern and General
NAPIER. were overtaken and dispersed with great
slaughter by Colonel Roenersox on the 3th of
September. That restless and mischievous body
vaguely described as the Gwalior fugitives had
under the command of TA.wris TOPEE, stioeseded:
during the last week of August, in taking poseitaion
of the town of lairs Paten, where they are
stated to have obtained • large amount of
treasure and forty gas. After this swans
they moved upon Bhopal, but were encountered by
the Nlhow field force under General MICIIIL, on the
13th of September, dispersed in all directions, with
the loss of thirty guns on their side, and vary trifling
casualties on ours. On the whole, we seem to me
already the last flashes which precede the general
subsidence of active and armed insurrection into the
smouldering ashes of sullen discontent and predacity
warfare.

The news from the south of Chiaa is more favour-
able. As a conseqnenoe, we may presume, of the
new treaty, the Ell P[loll hearecallsel the machismo
Hones from the governenhip of Canton, replacing
Lim, it is said, by an officer more disposed to live at
peace with the foreigner. The signs of a better
disposition on the part of the people are also becom-
ing apparent. At Canton confidence is gradually
reviving, and shops are opened ; and at Hong Koog
the return or the native d agnostic sermats and labourers
was relieving the European population from its
ludicrous distretere. Chnseral Srasicsessn's de-
spatch hardly bears out the terms in which the
Namtow affair was announced by telegraph, and in
which we now lad it described is the Hong Kong
papers. The expeditica, however, appears to have
fulfilled its object.

Ir the Social Benue netting had produced
no other result than the admirable addrese of
Lord linarrinistrar's en public health, it
would not have been held in vain. The philo-
sophers and the sanatory doctors might have spent
their breath and shed their ink for years, with-
out mining a tithe of the effect which that excel-
lent address is calculated to produce upon the
more monk portion of British religionists. It n
not a Lummox, Ailed with the teachings of a secular
philosophy ; sot a CHADWICK, shaken with the
wind of sanatory enthosisem. that has told these
home truths—but • leader in our spiritual brael—a
shining beacon of out Evaaplical Christianity. And
what is it that Loed Svurrainmar, 'peaking from the
platform of St. George's Hall, hie told the religious
public of Great Britain? Hellas dated manfully to
tell them the truth ; he has denounced the 'occlusive
care of the spiritual part of man, the ignorant
contempt and neglect of his physical system, as •
mischievous delusion. " When people say we
should think wee of the soul and less of the body,
‘. my answer Is, that the same GOD who made the
" soul also made the body. It is an inferior work,
0 perhaps, bet nevertheless His work, and it
" must be treated and eared for according le
" the end for which It wee created—fitness
" for His service. If ST. Path, calling one
" bodies the temples of the HOLT GHOST, said they
0 ought not to be contaminated by sin; we also say .4 that our bodies, the temples of the HOLY Gum,
0 ought cot to be corrupted by preventable disease—
" ought not to be degraded by filth which can be
avoided-040a not to be disabled by unnecessary
0 suffering.' We commend these words to the
serious and dispirit,' nate attention of those who, on
