This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to
take in the little ones whose charact r and circumstances
disqualify then for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender
age precludes their admission to the Hauges. Such are th-se
who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are
those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and
left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose
parents may have at one time or other received parish relief,
and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose
parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who
train their children in the same path. Such are those whose
evil associations have already had their painful effect, and
must lead them to a life of crime and misery.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC jOUANALS.

TIMES.—A brief telegraphic message, brought in
four-and-twenty hours from Bombay to London,
gives us the satisfactory information that the
Bhootan War is at an end, and that the Indian Go-
vernment is released from the obligation of an ad-
venturous, and perhaps costly expedition. This
little affair has now been some time on hand, andhas
it could never do us much credit or bring us any
profit, it is quite as well that it should be conclusively
settled. Not long ago we committed the mistake
of sending an Envoy to the almost inaccessible capi-
tal of the Bhooteas. The distance of the place from
Calcutta, measured as the crow flies, is not conside-
rable, but the lofty peaks and dangerous passes of a
wild mountain range intervene, and at the foot of
the hills lies a deadly swamp in which no Europeans
can live. It was with extreme difficulty that Mr.
Eden and his suite arrived at their destination, and
when they did so it was only to encounter contumely
and insult. The Rajah, or perhaps the Minister,
determined on defying us, • and after the grossest
affronts had been offered to our Envoy in open Court,
he was required to sign a treaty ceding a British pro-
vince to the barbarian Government. Of course, when
affairs had come to this pass there was but one course
to pursue. An expedition advanced into the coun-
try, and some of its chief strongholds soon fell into
our power. But though we had obtained possession
of these hill forts with unexpected ease and com-
paratively slight losses, our occupation was not left
undisturbed. When the season became unfavour-
able to Europeans, the Bhooteas returned to the
attack, assaulted our garrisons enfeebled by heat and
fever, and provoked the second expedition -which,
according to the last mail, was held in readiness to
advance with the cold weather. 'We hope the ne-
cessity of this enterprise has been now averted,
for Colonel Bruce, we are told, has " signed a
treaty of peace with Bhootan in public Durbar."
If the dates are correctly given, this transaction
itself was accomplished only on Monday last, so that
within thespace of 48 hours intelligence was actually
received in London from a remote town on the un-
explored frontiers of China. It is now superfluous
to moralise on the policy which occasioned these
proceedings, but the grand error, as we need hardly
observe, consisted in the mission to the Court of
Bhootan. The despatch of an envoy to this barba-
rous prince was like the despatch of a minister to
the Emperor of Abyssinia. It gave him the power,
and almost the temptation, to do mischief, and
enabled him to offer the British Government such
provocation as could not possibly be overlooked.
We think this proceeding must have been a mistake
in any case, but there is reason to believe that the
envoy was also charged with objectionable propo-
sals. That the Bhooteas had originally been offen-
ders we can readily believe, and that some measures
had become desirable for the protection of. our
frontier is also highly probable. Mr. Eden's mission,
however, appears to have comprehended a variety of
objects. He was instructed to open negotiations for
greater freedom of trade between Bhootan and
British India, and the first accounts of the embassy
represented it as a commercial overture altogether.
Then it transpired that certain complaints were to
be preferred which were not very likely to be ac-
ceptable in the eyes of unreasoning barbarians. So
the Bhooteas took advantage of the opportunity, and
turned the tables upon us. Instead of receiving our
representatives with deference or respect, they
treated them with savage violence, and thought, no
doubt, when they had extorted a treaty of their own
dictation, that they had achieved a victory over their
powerful neighbours. We shall soon learn the terms:of
the actual treaty which has been substituted for this
worthless transaction, butthere is little, we fear, that
can be gained in the way of substantial indemnity.
Perhaps some rectification of our frontier may have
been advantageously obtained, but it is obvious that
we want no conquests in such regions, and that se-
curity against aggression. for the future is all that
can really be desired. This, indeed, is the more
necessary now that the provinces bordering upon
Bhootan are assuming a new commercial importance.
Assam, which is conterminous with Bhootan to-
wards the north, is the chief seat of the East Indian
tea culture, and it is anticipated, without much ex-
travagance of belief, that in a short time our sup-
plies of tea from this region may rival, if they do
not supersede, those from China itself. It is evi-
dently, therefore, of great consequence to preserve
such an industry from disturbance. Incursions or
lireuesome years ago
would be intolerable now that interests of such mag-
nitude are at stake, and the Bhootan war will not
hav9 been utterly unproductive if it insures the se-
curity of English planters in Assam. Any other ad-
vantage it would seem vain to anticipate. Nobody
can well imagine that any remunerative branch of
commerce could be established between us and the
Bhooteas, or that even the general impression pro-
duced by this display of our power will be either
deep or lasting. In its origin the quarrel did but
represent one of those inevitable disputes which are
incidents of our Asiatic position. We must have
barbarous or semi-barbarous States on our frontiers,
and such States are sure at intervals to give offence.
It then becomes a question of policy whether we
should resent the affront or not—whether we can
dissemble it without suffering in reputation, or
whether, for the sake of general security, we
must exact redress at a heavy and unwelcome cost.
In the case of Bhootan the despatch of a mission to
the Court deprived us of the alternative. Before a
British Envoy had been publicly affronted we could
have temporised or threatened, or tried some
expedient short of war, but when Mr. Eden had been
dismissed with insult we had but one course before
us. 'War becomes inevitable, and what war means
under such conditions we now see. It is felt to be
a matter of congratulation that after a couple of
years of trouble we have escaped from the affair.
There was never, however, any reason for regarding
this Bhootan War with the apprehensions which
any disturbance on our North-Western frontier
never fails to excite. The affair was not connected
with the intrigues of disaffected fanatics, nor could
the hostilities be expected to spread. The Rajah
of Bhootan, or the Chief or Minister who dictated
his policy, was fighting for his own hand. He had
no ally, nor was he very likely to have any ; nor,
again, was the force to be employed against him of
any such magnitude as to create a drain upon our
establishments, or leave us exposed in other quar-
ters. Less than a thousand Europeans, and perhaps
twice or thrice that number of native troops, would
have sufficed for the invading army. Beyond the
exposure of this force to the chances of a barbarous
warfare and unhealthy climate we risked little. Still,
we know what little wars are, even in countries
where there is no likelihood of their breeding great
ones. They cost money, they disturb calculations,
they are hard to bring to an end, and they express
simply the discharge of unwelcome obligations with-
out producing anything in return except the pos-
sible diminution of these obligations in future.
That is what we hope we have gained by the war in
Bhootan, and we shall feel perfectly satisfied with
Colonel Bruce's treaty if it insures us peace and
tranquillity on the side of the Bhooteas for a
reasonable time to come.

PosT.—There is every reason to believe that the
insurrection in Jamaica is at an end, and that the
majesty of the law has been completely vindicated
by the speedy and condign punishment of the ring-
leaders in the revolt. The dangers to which the white
population were exposed were terrible, but they
were also brief in their duration, and the crimes
which marked the first outburst of sedition were
those which also signalised its extinction. A. week
seems to have sufficed for the authorities, with such
_
troops as they had at their disposal, together with
some volunteers, to crush what has now been shown
to have been a premature outbreak. letterThefirst_
conveying tidings of the insurrection was dated fromi
Jamaica on the 16th of October, and our present
advices, which are brought down to the 24th, tell us
that several of those who took the most prominent
part in the revolt have been already tried and exe-
cuted, and that a man named Paul Bogle, believed
to be the leader of the insurgents, had been cap-
tured, and was awaiting a trial by court-martial, the
issue of which no one
affected to consider uncer-
tain. In a word, the insurrection, such as it was,
has been suppressed ; and if tranquillity has not
been completely restored, the white population
have at all events been rescued from the perils
which threatened them, and the work of indiscri-
minate pillage and massacre which, when we last
heard from Jamaica, had been commenced in the
western portion of the island, has been definitively
arrested. The growing disaffection of the negroes
in Jamaica had been for many months the subject
of comment, and a revolt seems to have been an-
ticipated For some time past meetings of negroes
have frequently been held, at which persons the
majority of whom were not natives of Jamaica
were the speakers, and who selected for their
theme the hardships inflicted on the negro popu-
lation by the Colonial Government. Glowing pic-
tures were drawn of the superior condition of the
emancipated slaves in the Southern States of Ame-
rica, and the inevitable conclusion.pointed at that it
only rested with the negroes themselves to secure
that wealth and prosperity which were denied to
them by the selfish misgovernment of the ruling

population. It needed but little to arouse the pas-
sions of a race which, we care not what is said to the
contrary, we believe to be irreclaimably savage, and
they eagerly entered into a scheme which had for its
object the slaughter of all the male portion of the
white population and the children, and the parti-
tion amongst themselves of the lands and of the
women. The intended revolt appears to have been
fixed for Christmas, but was precipitated by an
attempt to arrest one of the leading rebels on a
charge unconnected with treason. In order appa-
rently to preserve his own liberty, this man raised a
revolt in his own district, and by so doing very pro-
bably saved the colonists from the consequences
which would have attended a simultaneous rising of
the negroes in every part of the island. Whatever
may be the causes of negro disaffection ill Jamaica,
it is notorious that they operate throughout the en-
tire Colony, and the fact that the recent disturbances
were. confined almost exclusively to a particular dis-
trict Showed that the outbreak, however terrible in
the circumstances. which attended it, was due in its
inception- to some isolated and unexpected exciting
cause. Taken by surprise, and undecided on the
course which, they would pursue, the negroes in the
other districts appear to have awaited the progress of
events; and the troops and volunteers which the Go-
vernor despatehed to the scene of revolt were en-
abled to concentrate their operations on one point.
Against these troops the insurgents scarcely ven-
tured to make any stand, and in the space of a few
days some two or three. hundred of the revolted
negroes had, either been shot down or handed over
to the executioner. Whilst, however, the rebels
had the upper hand, they carried out systematically
the ruthless policy which they inaugurated in the
Courthons.nt Bay. Of the white popu-
lation who fell into their ahnost-all were
murdered in cold blood, with all those attendant
circumstances which mark the unreasoning cruelty
of a savage race. The vengeance which followed
was however, both speedy and certain. It was not
a time for permitting those delays which, under
ordinary circumstances. intervene between the ap-
prehension of criminals and their conviction and
death. Martial law was proclaimed, and according
as the insurgents were captured were they called on
to reply to the charges advanced against them at a
drumhead court-martial. Caught red-handed, or
as lawyers would say in flagrante delicto, the task
of their judges was an easy one and the inevitable
sentence of death was followed by a short shrift.
In one instance the verdict against a woman was
accompanied by a recommendation to mercy, which,
however, the Governor declined to entertain. How-
ever one regrets the necessity of inflicting capital
punishment on a woman, it is impossible to avoid
feeling that any leniency on the part of the Governor
would have been misplaced. In dealing with such
insurgents as the negroes of Jamaica, it is absolutely
essential that they should be made, if possible, to
feel the full enormity of their crimes by inflicting
on them, without consideration of sex, the greatest
punishment which it is possible for human justice to
impose. But even assuming that the hopes held out
to us should be realised—that the next packet will
bring tidings of the complete restoration of tran-
quillity in the colony—can we regard the events
of the past month as merely constituting a little
episode whose only effect will be like that of a
thunderstorm, to cool and purify the air ? Shall
we be justified in dismissing all further considera-
tion of this entente with the reflection that the lesson
taught to the negro population will be such as to
banish from their minds all ideas of revolt for a
long time to come ? We can hardly think so. We
may have, perhaps, but little to fear at the present
moment, and we may conclude that any scheme
which may have existed of a general outbreak will
now be abandoned ; but the " negro difficulty," as
it is termed in every country where the negro ele-
ment enters largely into the population, will become
more complicated than ever. We abhor slavery,
and therefore the coloured inhabitants of our colo-
nies must be free men. We enjoy liberal institu-
tions, and therefore our inclinations lead us to share
with all our fellow-citizens, independent of race or
colour, the same political privileges. But experience
shows us that, if the negro is to be made a useful
member of the community in which he lives, he must
live under a species of restraint which might well
seem intolerable to an English colonist. That re-
straint we have not hitherto imposed, and the result
has been the insensate outbreak which has just been
quelled. If we w,.1.2-gueirl2 ae...;....2b u zium...--eves.
in future, IN e must adopt a different attitude towards
the negro population of Jamaica, and it might be
well for the Government to sweep away that equality
between the colonists and the negroes, which, more
than anything else, has tended to inspire the latter
with the idea that it only rested with themselves to
obtain the supremacy over their benefactors.

"THE ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES" ON SIR MORTON
PETO AND TIIE " TIMES" ON AMERICAN FINANCE.—
We publish elsewhere in this issue, two very re-
markable papers, to which we bespeak the earnest
attention of all interested in American affairs. The
first of these is a speech by Sir S. Morton Peto,
Bart., at Bristol, on Monday last, in which the
honorable baronet relates some very interesting
particulars of his late visit to America, along with
Mr. James M'llenry and some twenty or thirty
other English capitalists and business men, and
the opinions he and his party formed of the finan-
cial and commercial condition of that country. The
second is a leader extracted from the Times news-
paper, referring to the financial condition of the
United States, as represented by the last official
statement of Secretary M'Culloch, and specula-
ting on the future prospects of the Americans. For
purposes of convenience, we shall refer to the Times
article first, and afterwards proceed to notice the
very remarkable and interesting speech of Sir M.
Peto. The Times commences its leader by referring
to Mr. Caleb Cushing's contemplated visit to this
country, and states that he comes on a special
mission from America, " to ascertain the opinions
prevailing in England on the subject of American
Finance." We must dispute this statement at the
very outset. Mr. Caleb Cushing is a lawyer and
not a financier, and we learn from the very best
authority that his visit will be purely of a profes-
sional nature, and not in any manner political or
official. It is possible that he may give Mr.
Adams the benefit of his advice in bring-
ing the claims of America on England to an
amicable settlement, and on any other matters
in which his sage experience and professional skill
may be required ; but there is not the slightest
foundation for the coarse hint indulged in by the
Times that lie comes hither to bolster up American
finance. The Times quotes the official revenue re-
turns of the American Government for the quarto:
ending Michaelnas last, which furnish so remark-
able an exhibition of the resources and prosperity
of the country. Unable to gainsay the facts thus I
presented, the " leading journal" contents itself
with the remark that " the receipts represent a
mere matter of fact," and may not afford a fair
sample of the probable receipts of the year. It adds
that " these new figures are not necessarily to be
suspected,"—a fling at the American Government
so utterly contemptible that we shall not deign to
notice it further. The Times goes on to say that
the prospect " would have been more favorable if
it had been somewhat less promising." Mr.
M'Culloeh is " presuming too boldly on the re-
sources or patience of the people." "we are told
that they (the Americans) may be expected to rebel
against" the payment of taxes. But if the income
of the Government continues at the like ratio of the
last quarter, " the Americans might unquestionably
clear off their whole debt in ten years' time, but the
speculation is too incredible to be entertained."
Finally, the Tines adds, with offensive patronage,
that " the Americans can pay their way if they
please, and, if they should make fair pro-
vision for doing so, and for cancelling their
debt by easy and gradual instalments, they
would be doing quite enough to establish
their financial credit in the eyes of the world."
We believe it is unnecessary to say that the
Americans do not govern their conduct simply by
the desire of " establishing their financial credit in
the eyes of the world." They have incurred a Nast
debt in putting down a wicked and iniquitous rebel-
lion. They did not rush into debt blindly, and
they do not believe that a national debt is a na-
tional blessing. Now that the war is over, they
find themselves with a revenue of one hundred
and twenty millions of pounds sterling, and a
yearly expenditure of some sixty millions. This,
indeed, is an "unparalleled phenomenon"--to quote
the words of the 'Times. And, inasmuch as the
Americans find themselves with a surplus of about
£60,000,000 per year, they intend to apply a good
portion of their surplus to the payment of their
debts. This is " unparalleled phenomenon." num-
ber two, and notwithstanding the sage advice of
the Times that they should not pay their debts off
too rapidly, but make provision for their payment
"by easy andgradual instalments," thereis little doubt
that the American nation will extinguish their debt
almost as suddenly and rapidly as they contracted
it. It is a pleasure to „turn from the offensive and
insulting patronage of the Thus newspaper ,-to the
really noble:' and splendiel. speech of Sir. Morton
Peto on-American affairs. This practical, large-
minded, and experienced business man went to
