IBW GARDENS.

That the many attractions which t' is great na.
&mai establishment presents continue to be duly appreciated
by our middle class London public Is proved by the increas-
ing numbers which annually visit it. On Sunday, Aug. 30,
no fewer than 9,900 persons inspected the garden and
plessure grounds during the afternoon. On every hand
might be heard exprealoous of satisfaction and delight ; and
indeed how could it be otherwise, for never hove we seen the
gardens in better order than they are at present P Since the
lets raise the lawns, which ore neatly mown, hareexchanged
their brown and parched apioutmce for a coat of the
moot lively green, and the beds lu front of the old museum,
along the sides of the principal walks, and in the little flower-
garden near the great palm stow are literally masse, of
showy blossom, in quantities sufficient to be at once striking
and effective. Of these verbenas of different kinds, scarlet
geraniums, petunias, calceoleries, and ageratums form the
staple ; but we also notiogi other plants, such as cuphes
platycents„ &c., edged With the compact-growing white-
keyed cerastlum tumentosum. These looked neat and
dressy. Tamse round the pond are elso now extremely pretty;
tiny are filled chiefly with starlet geraniums, which are In
some eases intermixed with turbot's, calceolarias, and petu-
nia,, and round the edge with drooping blue lobelia and
nieremlxestia. These resemble hags bouquets of Bowers,
and, as they well deserve, appose to In greatly admired.

TILE CITY OF MOBILE PASSENCIERB.—Mr. Fre-

tainly it is sufficiently unfortunate that even 13 should listen
to the offers of these sailors, but that 100 of them were made
victims is wholly untrue, and whoever informed you that such
wee the cue has been greatly deceived. I hope that, in jun-

THEILI are few CLIVEA in the Fast India Com-
pany's Service at present. The remark is made not so
much with reference to the military and political
abilities of the great man, as with reference to his I,
talent, or luck for money-making. The young u-
pliant after fortune's (scours, in our day, no more
finds India a land of I'agoda trees than Inez
WHITTINI.TON found the streets of London paved
with gold. A decent comp' tency is the utmost to
which the great mass of the Company's servants
an look forward in the evening of life, and during
manhood's struggles they have this in common with
most middle-class Englishmen, that they find it hard
enough to make both ends meet. Add to this that
oar Anglo- Indians arc in the rule a marrying gene-
ration. Small blame to them. It is human nature
to seek to make a home in an unhomely land where
the best years of life mint be spent. But with mar-
riage come children, and children, at least in their
earlier years, are none of the moat profitable inemt-
went" So every way it is clear that the Company's
servants, as a class, are not eminently qualified to
stand an extra doss of adversity.
The truth is that the pay, or salary, of the Com-
pany's servant is in most cases literally his daily
bread. Some little fined capital be may have in the
shape of a bungalow and its furniture. And even
these he must obtain at a comparatively high price,
and ellen sell fur lees :han half value, when a redden
order comes to change his station. Marching and
eounterasarehine, farkiughe, sending children to
England when they reach the age at which they can
so longer be remitted with safety in India.-many
are the drains on the never over-filled pocket of the

Compui) terf ant.
Thew things ought to be borne in mind at the pee-
sent moment. From the Gograh on the east to the
Indus on the west • hurricane of human wrath and
wickedness has swept over the Bengal Presidency
and its more immediately dependent territories.
Among the many affecting private letters from
that region which have found their way
Into mint, there is scarcely one that does
not mention incidentally how the homes of the
writer and all his (or her) friends lave been
wrecked, sacked, and plundered. Almost all tell of
harried Sight—sometimes without • change of
raiment, sometimes barely haltclad. The little
lioneehold luxuries and ornaments, even the things
which in the hot Indian climate are necessary for
the preservation of health, have vanished with the
root which sheltered them. The fugitives look east,
oath, west, and souk and sec themselves without a
home, and with no prospect bat that of slowly saving
enough oat of their future salaries to replace what
they have lost, of incurring debt in the meantime to

pommy. clothing and covering fort heir families. Many
of them are rick or wounded. Many a husband and
father yearn to send his family "home," where they
may be safe till the storm abates, end lacks the im-
mediate means.

The sufferers an Englishmen and Englishwomen.
Their high hearts cannot stoop to solicit aid. They
shrink even from the idea of accepting it from
strangers. They look mutely t the Government
they have per- ed, strong in the erase of the justice
of thi tr claims upon it. And Ciessneseent no doubt
acknowledges their claims, and will in doe Demon
comply with them. But the movements of a Go-
vernment are proverbially, perhaps neoesearily, stow,
and the need of assistance is urgent. It is the
English public that must administer it in the first
instance.

How, and in what form, that assistance sin be
best rendered—both as regards efficiency and the
respect due to the delicate feelings of the maitre--
we have more than once attempted to point out.
Our present object is to urge the necessity of raising
an ample relief fund without loss of time. An ac-
knowledgment of sums received, which appeared
yesterday in our advertising columns, shows that
something is being done in the metropolis—as much,
perhaps, as could be expected at • season when so
many of those who can best afford to be liberal are
absent. We are waiting for a response to this me-
tropolitan appeal from the provinces—when will it
ewe °

This charitable movement has a more than com-
mon claim upon the provinces. The benefits of our
connexion with India have not been confined to the
mercantile and manufacturing districts; they hare
been participate'] in largely, and in a peculiar
manner, by our landed interest and their retainers.
The families of the poorer gentry and clergy have
often been relierid of their anxiety for their younger
branches by obtaining for them employment is the
Company's service. Many a family, which was
threatened with depression to a lower funk by ad-
verse circumstances, kat been enabled to remain on
the roll of gentry by the circumstance of a eon, or
aces, kering obtained an Indian appointment. Many
a lad of obscure parentage, through the kindly pa-
tronage of some influential family whose notice he
attracted, has been enabled, by hie earnings in
India, to rune himself to the land-owning class.
We could name whole counties in which
it is owing to our connexion with India
that a general affluence and comfort pievsdes the
land-owning clam, Surely, they do not need to be
reminded that our unfortunate countrymen in India
have especial claims upon their sympathy. It will
only be a graceful acknowledgment of what their
families owe to the prosperous careers of some of
their members in India, if they put themselves
prominently forward in the effort to extend aid to
those in the moment of need who hare been less for-
tunate. We know that they need only to be reminded
