THE INDIAN MUTINY.

(From the Times.)
Notwithstanding a certain indefinite persuasion
yesterday in some quarters that a sort of interme-
diate bulletin was to be expected front India, th 3
day passed, and, as far as we can see, several days
are likely to pass, without further iutelligence.
Nothing had arrived at Malta on the 7th. The
Cambria was not to wait for arrivals beyond the
10th, yesterday, and should any news come after
that day it was to be despatched by a gunboat t
Cagliari, and telegraphed thence to the Admiralty.
As care would be taken at Malta to give her Mi-
jesty's Government the exclusive possession of th 3
news, whether all-important or utterly unimportant,
and as the same love of mystery might animate the
Departments at home, all that can be expected
tween this and next Saturday is that some evening
some very exigent members may extort from Loid.
Palmerston or Sir Charles Wood the confession
that a despatch has arrived, of which be miry ven-
ture to give one or two partieulard. By next Sa-
turday we trust that our own steamer may be able
to bring us the fortnightly despatch • from Malta
to Caglilri, when possibly it will be in our power
to oblige her Majesty's Government with infor-
mation quicker than that to be brought by the
Wanderer. Meanwhile, it is consolatory to feel
that, even with the fullest dady
England could not be doing more than she is.
Acting unavoidably in the dark, ignorant alike
of disaster and of triumph, but looking only to the
end, she continues to send her best mien and her
fleetest ships to the East ; so that, let the worst be-
fall her, it will be no fault of lit re.
It takes a long time to rise to the scale of a
grand operation. We are a long time about it, aed
a still longer time knowing what we are about. By
successive efforts of intelligence and resolution we
are at last sending out a great expedition to India;
and most of our readers will have to open their
eyes, and look around, and sum up, and compare,
before they can appreciate the magnitude of the
work and its place in the world's history. Let
them imagine themselves, then, on the beach ef
Southsea last Saturday afternoon. They would.
there see two immense "clipper" ships; each more
then half as-large again as the largest ship in Nel-
son's fleet, towed from their anchorage;by immense
steamtugs, and each with about a thous ncl men en
board, of whom near nine hundred were soldiers fur
the reconquest of our Indian Empire. Instead of
two such ships, objects of admiration even to those -
who see three-deckers every day, let us suppose
forty, most of them filled with men, a few wide
the materials of war, and then you have au Armada
which combines in one the adventurous spirit of
early days, the vast ideas of recelern times,
the hardihood of a rude age and the science
of a civilised one. The joint expedition of Eng-
land and France to the Crimea surpassed every-
thing in ancient or modern times, including even
the vast struggles of the latter Power at the close
of the great war. But even that must yield in turn
to the grander fact of an army of 30,000 well trained
soldiers, well found and well officered, despatched
in the course of three months from Englaed right
across the globe, to reassert our authority on the
shores of the Ganges and the central plains of Hin-
dostan. That is the number which will have left
this country before the end of this month, and
which may be expected to land at Calcutta before
the season favourable for active operations. Even
so recently as the first day of this year, when we
were only breathing, as it were, from the vast efforts
of the late European war, and when we were suffi-
ciently annoyed to find ourselves involved in quar-
rels with Persia and China, perhaps the most in-
credible thing that could have been suggested
would have been an expedition of 30,000 men to
India. That, however, is what we have actually
come to before seven months were out. It is
true we have come to it step by step ; we
have done it by instalments. A force of about
5,400 despatched to China at the beginning of
the year has been diverte I from its course,
and is probably by this time steaming up the
Ganges, or face to face with the mutineers.
Since the news of the present outbreak ab out
10,350 Infantry, 1,350 Cavalry, and 1,250 Artil-
lery, making altogether near 13,000 men, have been
already embarked direct for India. About 5,400
more are now in course of embarcatien. Thus far
is familiar to those of our readers who have paid
attention to our daily Military Intelligeni e. But,
in addition to the above, the Ist Dragoon Guards,
the 7th Hussars, the 44th, 56th, 66th, and 724
Regiments, a thousand Royal Artillery, and
draughts not far short of a thousand, have been
placed under orders for India, and will be de-
spatched during this week and the next. All these
amount to about 30,000 men.
Now, this is a very great affair, and it is time to
consider it in all its bearings. It is a serious call
on the military resources of a country which is so
much an object of suspicion and rivalry that any
appearance of pressure or difficulty on one side is
sure to be improved to our disadvantage on an-
other. But it is necessary to be prepared for other
demands on our army. Accordingly, for the 30,000
men sent out to India—not to speak of the troops to
be sent to China in place of those arrested in their
course—Government has wisely resolved to em-
body thirty Militia Regiments, and to raise
many regiments of 'the Line to their full com-
plement. There is, however, no occasion to
expect a much greater loss of life than usually
occurs in our army at home, where idleness and
its usual accompaniments every year do the work
of the battlefield. Of these 30,000 men the pro-
bability is that two-thirds will return to tell
many a tale of strange adventure, of battle and
siege, of pursuit and assault, of difficulty and
triumph. Passing from men to money, supposing
this expedition to do its work, or the greater part
only arriving in India to find its work done, the
suppression of this mutiny will probably cost the
Company not less than 10,000,0001. There must
be a loan to that amount, and, as the money must
be got and the work must be done, it is a question
how the money shall be raised ; whether on the se-
curity of the Company or of the nation. In the one
case the loan will entail a burden of about 350,0001.
a-year ;in the other case not less than 600,0001,
a-year—a difference which cannot but have a se-
rious effect on the future sources of Indian improve-
ment. If the people of England have any doubts as
to the result of this mutiny, or the value of our
Indian empire, that will be sufficient reason for not
.lending our credit to the Company. We have no
such doubt, and no such mean opinion of the em-
pire which it has ever been the chief object of our
national ambition to possess. But, if we lend our
credit to the Company, it should only be on the
understanding that henceforth the British Govern.
'talent shall be wholly and solely responsible for the
government of India, without the interposition of
the shadow of a shade between it and the Penin•
sula, its army, its people, and its resources.
And, whether this immense armament be wanted
or not for the immediate occasion, it must
not in any case be wasted. These 30,000
precious British lives must not even be exposed
to tropical suns and forced marches—not to
speak of the blood already shed ; this vast treasure
s
must not be lavished merely- to restore ah nairu t

VIE CAUSES AND CUR OF TEE MUTIN
IN INDIA.

Last night J. H. Stocqueler, Esq., delivered a
lecture in Willis's Rooms, St. James's-street, on
this subject to an attentive and deeply-interested
audience of ladies and gentlemen. Having spent
many years in India in the service of the company,
and as a journalist, and having altogether, for the
last 30 years, devoted his attention to Indian sub-
jects, he felt desirous of placing his views before his
fellow-countrymen, at a crisis which Mr. V. Smith,
the President of the Board of Control, had declared
to be one of the most awful in history. Twenty
years ago Mr. Macaulay had drawn a contrast
b,,tweeu the knowledge possessed by the English
people of Clive and Cortez—of the latter they knew
every, hing, of the former nothing—though the
one was a conqueror of mere savages, and the
other the conqueror of populous countries, whose
inhabitants were far advanced in civilisation, in
the arts of luxury, and possessed cities of greater
magnitude and wealth than were to be found in
Spain. That reproach of ignorance had not been
removed. It was only when some such awful
events as those which now engaged the interests and
awakened the sympathies of the masses occurred
that the people paid any atttention to India. Even
now everybody was only anxious that Delhi should
be taken, just as they were for the verdict in the
cases of Palmer and Madeleine Smith, and that
event over, it was to be feared they would sink
into their old apathy on Indian subjects. To pre-
vent such a result, it was his duty, and that of all
who knew anything of Indian policy, to exert
themselves to the utmost in order to maintain pub-
lic interest in the question until a sufficient altera-
tion was made in the government of India as
would give a reasonable prospect of saving India
to England. Mr. Stocqueler (who greatly as-
sisted his hearers by frequent and apt references
to a large sketch map of India in the course
of his lecture) then proceeded to give a brief, but
Ariking account of the way we came by India, the
origin of the mutiny, and the remedies he suggested.
He traced back the severance of fellowship between
the English officer and the Sepoy to 1824, when
the alteration in the charter of the East India Com-
pany no longer induced the European officer to
look upon India as his home, and the Sepoys as
at :ached subordinates, whose fidelity depended
upon his own handling of them. Subsequently to
that, the native troops were for the first time
ordered to march into foreign territories, and fight
battles for objects of which they knew nothing.
There were partial mutinies, and simultaneously
such a relaxation of discipline as tended to encourage
that mutinous spirit. Lord W. Bentinck, one of the
most humane of men, abolished flogging, contrary to
the universal remonstrance of the officers of the army,
and the Sepoys found, in many instances, that
simple discharge was a premium upon mutiny and
crime. Then, in consequence of the increase of
territory and the demand for men on the staff, en-
gineering, and civil departments, officers were
drafted off from the army in large numbers, were

source of the treachery, cruelty, and falsehood
which had characterised both races from time imme-

them best—pay them well, and flog them to their
heart's content when they needed it. He was sur-
prised to hear Lord Ellenborough and others say
that when this mutiny was quelled we must re-em-
ploy the Sepoy, and treat him kindly, in order to
attach him to us in future. He had no faith in them,
and from his experience, said there was no need of
them. A few of the natives might be employed as a
police force, under direct European inspection and
discipline, but that was all that was needed. The
short and simple remedy for these evils in future
was to take the government of India into the
