taking its ground. If the text of the Liturgy
does indeed giro a sanction to each practices, let
the text of the Liturgy, with all scawmgent snag,
be expurgated and reformed. That was the cry
of the St. James's nesting fa Meaaay hat—that fr
the cry which may speedily be expected to arise
from all parts of the country. Now, in the abstract

-there ea; be no doubt that this cry is a very reason-
able ads. No human work is perfect. Three
►undred years is a ripe antiquity for any for-
mulary of man's invention which assumes to
fix the faith and regulate the practice of
successive generations. When the history of
the English Liturgy is considered ; when we re-
member that it was a fusion of jarring elements—a
compromise issuing out of a chaos—the wonder is,
not that it should require reform now, but that it
should have remained unreformed so long. It
would be difficult to name any other institution
which in this changed Reglad of ours has
remained so long absolutely unchanged. In the ab-
stract, then, there is no reason worth a moment's
consideration why the Liturgy should not, in
the words of Colonel VIMEIC Ell, " undergo a
" thorough and complete expurgation of every
" word that savours of Rornanism." Practi-
cally, however, there are reasons which weigh
strongly with many wise and moderate Church-
man spinet resorting to any each oonrie until
impelled to it by an overpowering necessity.
Its felt that the Reform of the Liturgy, if com-
menced in obedience to a strong popular excitement,
may be parried beyond the point which even liberal
Churchmen might deem to be advisable. It is feared
that it would be converted into an engine of party
exclusion ; that it would be pressed beyond a mere
protest spied dubious expressions, or questionable
rubric,, and become the means of driving beyond
the pals of the Church many pious and excellent
men who now find shelter under the convenient lati-
tude of its Formularies and its Articles. There is
no doubt mach weight in these considerations. It

is an integral portion of that freedom of thought
and speech which characterises us as a nation, that
the endowed teachers of religious truth should not
be tied down by a despotic and inquisitorial rigidity
of ritual and theologio regulation. It might prove to
be no gain, rather a loss, if we could substitute the
Azad tests and the narrow dogmas of a popular the-
ology far the free scope which is now given by the
Liturgies and the Articles, to the varied present-
ment of Christian truth.

All this is freely conceded, but the rulers
of the Churah would do well to bear in mind
that nothing can tend more directly to imperil
the preservation of that liberty which all wise
men value than a rigorous and literal adherence
by a portion of the clergy, to those directions of the
Rubric and those expressions in the Liturgy which
bear most strongly the impress of a Romish
and are, as such, most diametrically opposed to the
Protestant tendencies of the vastly preponderating
bulk of the English laity. Them is great danger to
the Church of England in permitting this course
to be any longer persevered in. It behoves those
most, who would nod deprecate any sudden and
sweeping changes in oar Liturgy, to bestir them-
selves, while there is yet time, to put a stop to these
practices, which are certain, if not speedily aka-
dashed, to make the demand for such changes altoge-
ther irresistible. Charehmen might not to forget
what fate once came upon the Church in consequence
of upholding, against the rising indignation of the
people of England, the Romantic tendencies of the
Anglican Liturgy. Professional politicians are always
rather disposed to undervalue the strength and depth
not only of religious convictions, bat of theological zeal.
Emu professional politicians, however, unless they
ignore alike the part and the present, must be pre-
pared to admit that, if there is one thing nun
characteristic of the English people than even the
assertion and the advancement of their political
rights, it in their inveterate resistance to a dominant
Church and their undying hatred to an intermeddling
Priesthood. Let those whom these things specially
eastern, be wise in time.

INDIA.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

We have received letters and papers from Bom-
bay to the date of Sept 24.
The following is from the summary of the Over-
land Bombay Standard:

THE PUNJAUB.
THE MUTINY AT MOOLTAN.

What has just occurred in the Panjaab will, we
think, still further help to uproot from the mind of
the Old Indian the insane conceit that we can ever
again trust a Sepoy army. At the commencement
of the mutiny (May, 1857) the whole of the troops
then in the Punjanb were regarded as so disloyal
that the great balk of them were disarmed, and ac-
cordingly a heavy force of Europeans has been kept
from active service to maintain a guard over some
15,000 mutineers, who only waited the op-
portunity of becoming murderers. Of these
the 62nd and 69th N. 1., with a considerable
body of native artillerymen, were left at Mooltan
under the surveillance of the 3rd Bombay Euro-
peans and 150 Royal Artillery. Seeing how vain
it was to dream of re-arming them, government had
at length resolved to have them disbanded, despatch-
ing them to their homes in small parties of twenty
at a time. The order was read out on parade, and
seemed to afford general satisfaction. A report
jest after this got into circulation, that the measure
had been adopted with the view of getting the men
detached in parties, and cutting them to
pieces on their way to Lahore. On the
morning of the 31st August the rumour ran that
their apprehensions on this point were such that
they had determined not to quit cantonment. All
the guards were pat on the alert, and early in the
forenoon it became known that an attack had been
determined by the mutineers, the firing of the mid-
day gun to be the signal. The 69th, armed with
clubs, pieces of wood, fragments of their beds, or
anything they could lay their hands on, rushed from
their lines howling like fiends, and made direct
for the Artillery barrack., their object being
to obtain possession of the guns. A volley
from the carbines of the artillerymen and drivers
gave them pause. The native artillerymen and 62nd
made a dash at the same time towards the stable
guard immediately opposite the guns. They
managed to posses themselves of a considerable
number of muskets, and then joined the 69th. The
former corps had gone close up to the Irregular
Cavalry, obviously expecting them to join. In place
of this they were at once charged and cut to pieces
by their expected friends—a squadron afterwards
followed in pursuit. By this time the 3rd
Bombay Europeans were rapidly arriving in
parties, when a general fusillade commenced, and
the rebels began to decamp in all directions. Three
hundred and fifty were at once laid dead on the
field ; one hundred were captured and shot. We
had not at the lame time wholly escaped. At the
first burst five men of the Royal Artillery were
killed, as was Lieut. Males, a pliant and popular
officer, adjutant of the Bombay Europeans, who had
pushed ahead of his men, and his revolver miming
fire, he was clubbed to death. Brigadier Far-
quharson and some fifteen Europeans were
wounded. Some hours seem to have been lost
before the pursuit was commented. Half the fugi-
tives had gone southward in the direction of Bhawnl.
pore, the remainder north - westwards towards
Lahore, hemmed in, however, on both aides by the
rivers Chenaub and Stitlej bordering the Bares Doab.
The pursuing party consisted of detachments of the
6th Irregular Cavalry, 11th Punjaub Infantry, and
Mounted Police. The Bhawalpore party, on being
hotly pursued, separated into two bodies, 100 of
them taking refuge on a marshy island. Here they
were watched all night ; next morning 48 were cap.
hued, and afterwards executed, twenty-eight were
drowned, sixteen escaped for the time, bat for the
time only. The other portion, about 300, were
pushed into a bend in the river. Here they kept
together in parties, fighting desperately to the last ;
250 were killed et captured, fifty driven into the
river ; the whole 400 being thus accounted for.
There wen about 300 who took the direction
of Lahore. They succeeded in crossing the
Dewannah Canal, and took refuge on a recess
in the Sutlej ; they managed to escape from this,and
were able subsequently to defeat a portion of their
pursuers. The villagers had now risen to support
us in all directions, and on the afternoon of the sth
the remainder of the mutineers were surrounded
and extinguished. Of the whole 1,431 who were
at Mooltan, 450 were disposed of at first, 700 in the
pursuit, 1,160 in all; 125 declined to join, the re-
mainder will speedily be accounted for.

The neighbourhood of Bandlly having been for
some time troubled with a body of rebels, supposed
about 1,000 strong with some guns, arrangements
were made to dispose of them. On the 28th they
attacked a party of our people engaged in fortifying
a polies station. We were only able to act on the
defensive, when the assailants were driven off with
the lose of some thirty of their number. The force
being reinforced on the 30th of August, marched
out to meet the enemy. It consisted of
330 of the 2nd Punjaub Light Cavalry, 150 of
the 17th, and 100 of the 24th Punjaub
Infantry, 100 of the Knmson levy. The
enemy opened with roond abot and grape, and we
had no gone to reply. Oar men were ordered to
advance rapidly without attempting to fire, and
when within thirty yards they charged with a wild
hurrah, carrying everything before them. The
artillerymen were cut down at their guns, which in
a moment changed hands ; they were four in num-
ber, exeellent Dram 9-pounders. The cavalry de-
camped at ones, the others, unable to ;wipe with
sufficient spied neffesed terribly, and 300 dead
were counted on the field. We had two killed
and 28 wounded, and Captain Browne, the com-
mander of the fort, lost an arm. We captured
three elephants, and about 50 bullocks, and as malty
I hones, with all their ammunition and camp equi-
page. The parsuit was continued as far as prudence
permitted, but the villagers they have been plunder-
ing are performing the work of execution on the
robbers without our help, and out of the 1,000 who
met us on the 30th of Aerie; there ary in all
likelihood at this moment set 300 alive. The strife
is very fearful, en far as we are concerned it is in-
evitable. The guilt ram with those who brought
it on.

all sides at the time they were preparing
to cook their morning meal and be off again, and
were never dreaming of danger. The conflict lasted
fora couple of hours. The camp on the south side
of the village lay on the side of a hill sloping dow n
to the river. On the opposite aids of this were many
deep ravines and water-eoarses, with a dense jungle
beyond. The enemy having broken and dispersed
everywhere attempted to cross and escape
into the wood, but were so hotly pur-
sued by our troops as to be cut down in
multitudes : further pursuit was impossible. Be
twist 400 and 600 bodies now strewed the field, our
loss consisting of Lieutenant Fawcett, killed ; Cap-
tain Poore and Lieutenant Banbury, wounded ; five
men killed, and ten or twelve wounded. The two
portions of the force being once more united, were
expected to be joined by General Napier, and to
continue in pursuit of Tantia Topee, who had by
this time (9th Sept.) been turned aside from the
main road by Brigadier Smith. The insurgent
leader, it will be seen, was subsequently defeated
by General MicheL
