MIDDLESEX SESSION. —(This Day.)

James Jackson, alias Yallop, 28, was indicted
for obtaining by false pretences, from William
Wellem, Hs. 61., his money, with intent to de-
fraud. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he
was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for 12 months.

It is geaie,cally understood that ner Majesty will
herself deliver the speech from the Throne on the
re-assembling of Parliament next month.
We give the following extract from the United
Service Magazine of this month as an example of the way
in which history is written:—" In 1859 Sir Herbert Ed-
wardes again returned to England, and at a public dinner
given during this visit to his native country an affecting
and memorable scene took place. Some gentleman pro-
posing a toast had spoken of Sir Herbert as the saviour of
India. Sir Herbert, in returning thanks, said he could not
permit this lofty designation to be applied to himself.
Here,' he said, as he laid his baud fondly on his friend
Nicholson, here is the real saviour of India.' " The late
Sir Herbert was a very valuable and distinguished public
servant, but the man must have been elevated into a state
of 'good intoxication' who called hitn the saviour of
India. He is represented in England in 1859 as lay-
ing his hand fondly on his friend Nicholson, who
had been killed and buried two years before under the
walls of Delhi ! To call Nicholson the saviour of India is
equally absurd. He was as gallant a fellow as over drew
sword, and as energetic as he was brave. These qualities
made him a dashing leader of wild native troops, but he
was not fitted by his training for handling brigades, and
he lost his life through his impetuosity and his ignorance
of the common rules of street fighting. It would suggest
itself to most mon who bad to capture guns at the end of
a long lane that the proper way is not to go up that lane,
but to get to the tops of the houses or to advance by
breaking through the walls. This, however, was not
Nicholson's way, and he used up some fine British soldiers
and lost his life by carrying out his own ideas. It stands
to reason that a charge of grape tired down a narrow street
with brick walls on each side is death to every ono in it; fur
instead of scattering, the balls strike the walls and ricochet
from side to side, leaving no chance of escape. Men like
General Nicholson and Herbert Edwardes can safely rest
their claims to monuments and cherished memories on
their career without the farce of calling them—saviours
of India. At this rate saviours would become as numerous
as the Army of Martyrs ; and after calling over the long
roll, the question might still be asked—lf India had been
saved after all ? It certainly is a question any of its
200,000,000 of inhabitants might pertinently put.
GOOD NEWS FOR ENGLISH SPORTSMEN.—The
New York Spirit of the Times thus remarks on the abund-
ance of game iu the Indian country :—" A recent letter
from General Sheridan to General Sherman, dated from
the mouth of the Canadian river, states that buffalo and
other game are in immense abundance ou the plains. The
whole country is literally covered with wild animals of
chase, and game birds. The general says that there are
now more buffaloes than would last the Indians for 20
years. The wild turkeys are also very abundant, and
flocks estimated as containing from one to two thousand
have been seen. Grouse, quail, and rabbits abound; and
antelope and deer were so numerous and bold that they
ran through General Custer's train when on the march to
Black Kettle's village. We also learn from Mr. Cameron,
who went to the mountains with his English friends, in
company with General Auger's scouting force, that the
buffalo were immensely numerous on the plains; while in
the parks of the Rocky Mountains there were enormous
gangs of elk. Mr. Cameron's party had great sport. Capt.
Townsend and Lieut. Kendall went on to San Francisco
when Mr. Cameron turned back from Salt Lake City."

The Philadelphia Public Ledger says—" It is esti-
mated that no less than 200,000 persons are now re-
siding in New York City who have no work, no real
homes, and no means which insure them a liveli-
hood. Some of them beg or steal outright; but a
large number eke out a miserable existence by running
into debt for lodging and board, or by borrowing from
week to week of whomsoever will lend them, or by quar-
tering themselves on reluctant relatives or friends. The
result is reported to be an aggregate of want, squalor,
misery, and degradation fearful to contemplate.
