THE BABOO KESHtB CHUNDER SEN IN INDIA.

Those people in England who so recently made their
homes hospitable to the Indian ret'ormer, and those
of us who facilitated his earnest endeavours to teach
us our duty, not only towards India, but towards
ourselves, will receive with pleasure the following
account of what Mr. Sen said before the first meet-
ing he has addressed in India since his return :
Whatever the shortcomings and defects of the English
nation may be, I have seen in that country a noble and a
generous heart in the root of society. Let people traduce
the character of that nation who have not had an oppor-
tunity to divebeneath the surface of things, but those Whe
have studied English character as it is, must see that there
is an amount of generosity and nobility there which cannot
fail to excite our sympathy and interest and approbation.
I do not think there is in any other part of the world
such a thing as a sweet English home. Its sweetness, its
purity must command our respect. You see there not
merely worldly happiness, temporal matters well managed,
daily household duties accompanied with fidelity and
honourable integrity, but you see there the spirit of moral
righteousness and purity infused into the daily life, even
into the petty details of daily transactions. This
domestic life in England—essentially British domestic life
in England—is not only sweet but pure; there is not onlY
joy and happiness on the one hand, but there is also a
stern and severe moral discipline exercised by the elder
members of the family, by parents over children.

It would appear from this description that there Was
a great deal of English domestic life which Mr. Sep
did not see.

OUTRAiIES IN CHINA.

Another outrage has taken place in China, but
this time the consequences have not been so serious•
An enzeute broke out at Fatshan, on the Pearl River,
a short distance from Canton. As usual in these
disturbances the subject of dispute was a religious
one. The native Christians had built a chapel at
Fatshan entirely by their own subscriptions, and
were not indebted to the assistance of missionaries.
An opening ceremony was designed to take place on
its completion, and some Protestant missiona-
ries and converted natives were desired to attend.
Dr. Legge, the head of the mission, prudently
declined the invitation. Mr. Chalmers, of the London
Mission, delivered the sermon, but he left the place
at an early hour, to which circumstance he probably
owed his life The mob assembled in the evening/
and complained of the manner in which the chapel
arrangements were conducted. Expostulation was
in vain, and in a short time the building was broken
into and destroyed. The converts were able to escape
and no loss of life occurred. The consuls will have
little cause for interference, as the church was
Chinese property, and no foreigners sustained in-
juries. No effort was made to extinguish the fire,
for the firemen refused to assist at the chapel, and
directed their attention to the houses in the vicinity.
Fatshan is well known for its opposition to mis-
sionaries; and the Wesleyan missionary has been
little there of late.

HER •MAJESTY.

BALMORAL, Nov. 12.

The Queen walked out in the morning, attended by the
Duchess of Roxburghe, and drove out in the afternoon with
the Marchioness of Ely.
Colonel and the Hon. Mrs. Ferguson, of Pitfour, ar
rived at the Castle.

The Prince of Wales left Sandringham yesterday
for Lord Huutingfield's seat at Heveningham
Suffolk. The shooting season at Sandringham will com-
mence about the end of this month, and it is intended by
his Royal Highness to give a county ball in the New
House in honour of the birthday of the Princess.

A. SUGGESTION FOR PEACE.
TO THE EDITOR OF " THE SUN."

feel assured there is only one universal desire
amongst all classes of Her Majesty's subjects concerning
the fearful war that is now raging on the Continent, that
peace should be hastened and completed by every means
consistent with the honour and integrity of Germany and
Fra ace.

As a contribution towards the solution of that most
difficult question, I trust you will allow me to make the
following remarks in The Sun.
France is said to have made Germany two offers-Ist,
A complete indemnification of all her war expenses ; and,
secondly, the entire dismantling of all her forts in Alsace
and Lorraine.

The war expenses up to the present time, it is assumed,
cannot be less than two hundred millions of pounds
sterling.
These offers Germany has refused, but it occurs to me
that she might be satisfied if a third were added to them,
viz. :—That Alsace and Lorraine might be held by her as
pledges or guarantees for a definite period, say ten years,
when France would probably be able to redeem her debt.
Moreover, by the end of that period, those two pro-
vinces would become accustomed to the German form of
Government, and they might then elect the power under
which they would thereafter live.
If those two provinces were annexed at the present
time against the universal wishes of France, it is the
opinion of some of the best men in Germany and France
that they would become a Poland to Germany, so deter-
mined, as is well known, is their hostility to German rule.
I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your faithful Servant,
RICHARD LEWIS,
14, John-street,Adelphi, Barrister at Law.
