FOR WHAT ARE WE NOW FIGHTING ?
Rrs,la has yleated )cent since all we went to war for! She has now
conceded the neutralsation oi-the Ms& Sea—the %llics to be PRAC-
TICALLY, 01011411 not OSTENSIBLY, the parties to this tresty. If It is
only Os t they may be so os-11:mi8Lic that the of thousands is

ior the sympathy of the a orid or the cooperation of the nations and
people of Europe?

garchies, depend so entirely upon a series of happy
accidents, that they can never look for permanence,
and where Oriental chiefs, whether supreme or sub-
ordinate, contrive to make an uproar, or find it
inipossible to keep the peace, an authority, humanly
.speaking, omnipotent, steps in.to compel that un-
attainable by other means. The Rana of Oodeypore
is considered the most noble. of all the Rsjpoot
Chiefs, though his income and temporal emblu-
ments have long been inferior to his neighbours of
Jeypore and Joudpore. He is supposed co be de-_
scended by the female line from el-oushirvan the
Just, Shah of Persia at the -birth of the Prophet,
and thus to come of the race of Hussein, son of Ali.
It is therefore his singular: fortune to be held in al-
most equal reverence by Hindoos as by islahonse-
dans. Sir H. Lawrence, with a view, if possible, of
preserving the peace, is strengthening the posts in
the neighbourhood, and has recently requested her
Majesty's 83d to be brought
,up to its strength at
Deese, so that should this denainstration Tuley's, as
is probable, the means of maintaining the peace, the,
close of the administration of Lord Dalhousie will
have witnessed three cold seasons on end' withont
the occurrence of bloodshed. Oude might be an-
nexed probably without the Ipss of a single 1 ife, so
as to afford no interruption of this blessed state of
things, so rotten is the administration, so ripe the
people for a change of masters. As the departure
of the Governor-General approaches, the thoughts
of men of all classes- and creeds, and in all quar-
ters, are being turned as to bow the profound re-
spect universally en:terminal for this illustrious
seatesman and truly great man may best be
manifested. Iu Bombay, which boasts of the
most enlightened native population of India,
addresses are already he process of preparation.
The annexation propensities of .Lord Dalhousie,
were they such as his enemies at home so unwar-
rantably ascribe to him, would furnish no ground of
objection to him on the part of the Bombay commu-
nity. On no occasion do our natives here ever come
.forward either as "parties to petitions, memorials,
addresses, or other papers, or as speakers at public
meetings indigenous or mixed, without expressing
their deep and grateful sense of the blessings
experienced by them.under the British Govern men t,
and the immeasurable superiority-of the existing-
administration to any ever before known in India,
the foremost in this matter being the reformers,
who desire to see good made bettor, and labour
for the removal of those abuses every Englishman
admits. They have lost all patience with the
practices of pretended friends at home, who have
abandoned patriotism for the sake of party, and
whose praise or censure is allotted according as
their objects are the supposed friends or enemies of
the Court of Directors, without regard to truth or,
merit. Lord Dalhousie' on this score, has become
an object of attack, and the Bombay Association,
the only body in India who gave a shilling for the
promotion of reform, and who within the space of
a few months sent home 1,0001. to their London
fellow-labourers, will not advance a single shilling
to promote the cause of faction, however readythey
may be to contribute to improvement. A singular
circumstance attended the thanksgiving at Bombay
desired by the Governor-General for our Successes
in the Crimea. On the 2d of December the day
fixed upon, the Parsees of their own accord. met in
the Town-ball to listen to a lecture on the freedom
and blessings of the British GoVernment, contrasted
with the tyranny and oppression of Russia, drawn.
up and delivered by one of their countrymen—
Dossabhoy Framjee. The lecture being concluded,
the service-of the day was wound up by the follow-
ing prayer, not only remarkable for its own excel-
lence and appropriateness, but doubly so as one of
the first ever delivered by a layman in public, and
in the ordinary conversational language of the
hearers, the Parsee worship being conducted, and
their sacred books being written, wholly in an un-
known tongue, unintelligible to the worshippers,
'and very imperfectly understood by the great body
of the priesthood themselves :
"0 Almighty Goil, let Thy shadow always fall where-
ever the Ilitish rule exists. Griot it, 0 God, success
in all its undertakings—vanquish by the aid of Thy
powerful hands all its enemies—and grant that its great-
ness may still rise, and its moral effects be spread over
a still greater portion of the world. Receive our humble
acknowledgments, 0 Lord, for having placed us under
such a beneficent rule, and we pray to Thee to preserve
us under it. Grant, 0 Heaven, that the Government
over our head be actuated in ruling over us with still
creator kindness, and its effe ate :be -vprea4-44,44—wider.
0 Almighty Protector, preserve fur ever, secure our
lives and propertie", as they now are—and grant that
the security may be still more strengthened. Bestow,
0 Lord, a still more mercilul heart to the Queen who
reigns over us. We pray to thee, 0 Almighty God, to
bless her armies with successes in the great war in which
they are now engaged, and bring to a speeds end the
great strife, by granting victory to those who have gene
to shed their blood in the right cause. Grant, 0
gracious God, that we may continue to live, as we now
de, with perfect security to ourselves, under the Govern-
meat in which we now are, and that we may ever be
impressed with a grateful sense of the advantages which
we enjoy under this benign reign.—Arnen."
A bill is at present before the Legislative Council
to enable Hindoo widows to marry without sacri-
ficing their rights, and for legitimatising their
children, who, in the eye of the-English law, are
at present considered bastards.
-Lord Elphinstoue continues his journey through
Guzerat ; he is expected back a month hence.
We mentioned in our last that the court of
directors had sanctioned the building of a frigate.
in Bombay at the cost of some hundred thousand
pounds, and the charge of some 50,0001. annually.
As the only people that wil benefit by this will be
the builders and store coutractors,lthe Treasury
would have been spared an enormous load, and
the jobbery been scarcely more transparent, had
20, )001., iu lieu of profit, been bestowed upon the
gentry in question in the shape of gratuity.
We have just had one of those outrageous dis--
plays on the .part of the Second Judge of the Small
Cause Court of which our Bombay bench seems to •
enjoy a monopoly, and which it is to be hoped will
secure its author, Mr. • West's, removal from his
post.
Manackjee Cursetjee has just been appointed
Sheriff of Bombay.
A native has just offered to subscribe 1,5001. to
the School of Industry ; two others have each
offered sites of the value of 5001., and it is expected
that within the next six months 5,0001. iu all
may bo subscribed, the interest of which, conjoined
with the grant made by the Court of Directors
some years ago, will from henceforth place the
establishment on a permanent footing, without
there being any occasion to appeal to the public.
The Government Central Museutn is expected to
he ready for the reception of the public on New
Year's. day ;its formal inauguration will be deferred
till the return of Lord Elphinstone, and will pro-
bably take place when the Governor-General is
amongst us.
Our money market is tighter, and the banks
have raised the rates of interest. Freights have
advanced, but we regret to be enable to report any
improvement in prices in our import market.
