A MONSTER OF CRUELTY.

We (Calcutta Englishman) have the following from
Lucknow :

"March 29.—We have read of the terrors of the
Spanish Inquisition, the horrors and barbarities of the
reign of terror, and the persecutioni of Christians by the
Roman Emperors, but the atrocities of the fiend Jugger-
nath, if not exactly unparalleled, are of a nature so revolt.
ing and brutal as to instil loathing and disgust. The in-
ordinate love of cruelty and refinements of torture prac-
tised by this robber, lately elicited upon his short trial,
are supremely barbarous. A little while previous to his
arrest, Juggernath seized and carried off to the fortress
(the pandemonium where the worst excesses were en-
acted) the child of a mahajun, who was reputed to be
rich. He offered to ransom the boy for a sum of money
so exorbitant as to be out of the father's power to pay.
The robber, determined not to be outdone in his nefarious
scheme of extortion, put in force a diabolical threat
which he had previously communicated to the child's
parents. He eut off the unfortunate lad's ears and nose,
and placing them in a brass dish covered with red cloth,
sent the hideous spectacle as a gift to the father, with an
intimation that if, in the event of the amount demanded
being not forthwith remitted, he should be greeted with
a stht or the other members of his son's body. As no
blood can be knocked out of a stone, and the sum was far
beyond the parent's means, he earnestly implored for his
son. The inexorable Juggernath was as good as his
word, the fingers ana toes followed next, and finally he
da4ied out the boy's brains 'against the wall of his fort
The boy's parents are the principal accusers against this
inhuman criminal.

THE LATE REV. I. N. ALLEN.
We regret to notice the death, at Poona, on the 23d of
April, of the Rev. I. N. Allen, senior chaplain at that
station. It may have been forgotten by many of our
readers that this is the Mr. Allen who was chaplain to
General Notes force at Candahar, and who accompanied
the army in its triumphant march to Cabool, and PO to
Ferozepore. He seemed at all times to have been en-
thusiastically devoted to his duty, and published on his
return a volume of sermons, which savoured fully as
much of the soldier as of the saint. We say this with-
out any offence. Mr. Allen was for many months in
the midst of scenes where no true-hearted man could
fail to be excited, and a good deal of, the ardour of the
fight mixed with exhortations to gentleness and peace.
He received a Ghuznee medal and ribbon, and had the
permission, very properly, of the Metropolitan of India
to wear them on all public occasions, and was one of the
very few clergymen to be seen in public places with a
warlike medal on his person.
