OA PT ti.R Pi AND CO sIMITT AL OF A
SWINDLER AND HORSE-STEALER.

On Wednesday a respecfably-dreSsed young man,
who gave the name of Richard Hollins Johnson,
and says he is a native of Dublin, was brought
before the magistrates at the Preston Town-hall,
on remand, under the following cilcumstance :
On the 12th ult. he called at the house of Mrs.
Giles, the Temperance Hotel and Restaurant,
Fisher-gate, Preston, and representing that he was
a co nmercial traveller, stayod there till the
15th. On the morning of that thy, having
partaken of breakfast, he left the house, and it
was immediately afterwards discovered that he had
tiken with him a silver cream ewer. Information of
the robbery was given to the pol ce, and it was
found that he had sold the article the same day at
Mr. Viener's bazaar, in Blackpool, for 16s. 4d. It
was ascertained that ,on the following Monday, the
17th ult.' the prisoner hired a horse at the stables
of Mr. Noblett, Blackpool, which, after an unsuc-
cessftil attempt to sell it, he kit at an hotel in Lan-
caster, taking the saddle away with him. He had
also obtained, on trial, a fowling:piece from the pro-
prietor of ono of the shooting galleries in Blackpool,
and forgot to return or pay for it. After tilts he
visited Blackburn, where he succeeded in wheed-
ling Mr. Pilling, gunsmith, out of a double-barrelled
gun, which he wished to try previous to buying it;
but he did not return. On the 31st ult. ke actually

had the temerity to return to Preston, staying at
Mr. Eglin's; Bridge Inn. Thence he d-spatched
a messenger in the' evening of that day to the
livery stables of Mr. Clark, Fishergate, to hie a
horse far him fora couple_ of hours. A. black mare
was prepared, and Mr. Clark took the animal
down to the Bridge Inn himself, where he handed
it over to Johnson, who' said he nteroly wanted to
see the country an hour or two. But the evening
passed away, and neither the horse nor its rider
reappeared, and information of this affair was also
conveyed to the suprintendent of police. Next
day, Detective-offi..!er Beckett and Mr. Clark set
off in a gig, in pursuit of the scoundrel, and
succeeded in tracing him to Chorley, where they
were informed that a man rrisivering his description

The following is a copy ota telegraphic des_patch
from Colonel Phipps to the Lord. Mayor, dated
Balmoral) Sept. 9:—
" You may annopnce subscriptions to the Fund
for the Indian Sufferers of 1,0001. from the Queen,
3001 from the Prince Consort, and 100/ from the
Duchess of Kent."
Lord Palmerton has subscribed 100/.

The following statement has baen drawn up by
an officer who served many years in India, and re-
cently returned to this country :

had bsen- sem 'going towards t olton with a
saddle on his shoulders. They continuel their
pursuit to 13.01t0n, and having acquainted the police
of that town of their errand, visited the saddlers'
shops. At that of Mr. Knowles, 40, I)eansgate,
they discovered Mr. Clark's saddle, which had
been sold to Mr. KnoWles by the prisoner for 30s.
In the meantime a stra-nger -asked police-constable
Lomax, of the Bolton police, the read to the
st dill' of the Liverpool Railway. Lomax, sus-
pecting from,the description given of . him, that
this was the fellow of whom the Prestonia,ns were
in search, fetched Mr. Clark from the Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire Railway station, whore he was
on the watch with Beckett, and took him to the sta-
tion before named, where the delinquent was iden-
tified and approhendei in one of the carriages,
having just paid his fare to Liverpool. He was
thee lunded. over t ) Beckett, and conveyed to
Preston. 'Oa their way to Preston the prisoner
said Mr. Clark's horse was at the stables of the
Royal Oak Inn, in Chorley ; this was found to be
correct, and the animal was taken on to Preston
by them. Tile prisoner hid given the riding-whip
to a person at whose house he stayed a short time,
in Lyon's-lane, Chorley. The prisoner was com-
mitted for trial at the: sessions.—. Manchester Guar-
duos.

"In reply to inquiries as to the necessity for a
national subscription for the relief of sufferers by
the mutiny in India, and•with reference to an opi-
nion in some quarters that the Indian Government
is Mend to give compensation for all losses incurred
through the revolt of the Bengal army, it need only
be stated that, although the Government of India
is bound to do much for the sufferers, and has al-
ready sent instructions to Lord Canning to relieve
at once, to the hest of his ability, all immediate
caves of destitution, witlrout reference to class
position, and although some of the classes plundered
have public and aklinowledged claims on the East
India Company, still it can be shown that the dis-
tress of the European and Christian community in,
India is such that no amount of funds which even
The present excited feeling and sympathy of Eng-
land may be expected to raise fur their relief can be
adequate, after the Government has done its duty
to the utmost, to meet the full difficulty.
"In all public calamities—of famine or inunda-
tion, of general revolt and' devastation, or other
wide-spread afiliction—it has b- en found impossible
for the most powerful Governments to do more than
to take early measures for the present alleviation of
the sufferers. Their aid may be liberally granted in
the first instance to supply the immediate relief and
mefins of subsistence, and eventually to compensate
for all elves demanding it ; but beyond this, it is to
be remeuiberedthat thernain resources and imperial
revenues of any State are principally and almost ex-
clusively to be applied to cos ly public remedial
measures, to the iestoratioe of order, and to the
grand object of meeting the calamity itself. In a
case like the present mutiny of a whole army, and
its consequences, any Government must soon find
its existing means unequal to the cost, and that it
has to entail an unavoidable burden on the.future
resources of the whole empire. The East India
Company should assuredly be liberal and just to
those who have been the victims of the outbreak of
its army, but it has to be just also to the country
at large and to the entire interests of the millions
it has permanently to protect.
"It has therefore ever been assigned to national
sympathy to inquire into and alleviate the more
private details of misery. Hence the many general
subscriptions in all conntriQs which have been vo
luntarily put forward to aid their fellow subjects,
carrying out what a State cannot hope to moony-

THE ?SUFFERERS BY THE MUTINY IIIT I dependent for clothing on the ship from their fel-
INDIA. low-passengers, and arrive in England without a
shilling, with about 1501. per annum in prospect
(when due) to subsist on for three years of furlough.
• " A widow escaped from—the massacre .at a far
station, and after much suffering reached Agra,
where she was not known b a soul, without a
rupee, and but half attired, without a single change
of clothes. She received immediate relief from the
kindness of those at the place, but she has to find
her way to England.
"The wife, with her children, of a poor m's-
siOnary, who clung to his post when be had his
house burnt and everything destroyed —book-t, fur-
niture, school, all gone. She arrives in Calcutta, is
kindly treated and clothed, but she, also, has to
find her way to England.
" A young lady was married to a deputy collec-
tor, uncovenanted service ; she fell sick, and was
ordered t) return to England. He was to remit
home monthly sums for her support. He was mur-
dered by the mutineers in Oude. The remittances,
of course, have stopped, and she is without a
farthing.
"The children of as offieerin India are in Europe
for education. The remittances for the past
half-year have unhappily ceased. There are no tid-
ings of the parents since the mutiny. The girls
are charitably kept on at a lady's academy, but a
lad is actually turned adrift by his benevolent'
tutor, and within the last week has atiempted in
London to enlist as a private soldier.
" But why go on enumerating cares of this des-
cription ? Pa2,n; and pages of them might be re-
corded, many of them far more touching and even
appalling, and all probably more pressingly in want
of relief. Hosts and hosts of military and private
families and refugees of all descriptions are at this
moment scattoied over India in utter want, and
will the wealthy and others in comfort in our OWII
happy land be excused for not sub,cribing to a re-
lief
fund like the present because it is the opinion
of a few who do not inquire hat) the circumstances
that the East India Company is bound to make
good aq the losses accruing from the revolt of the
Bengal army.
" Io former cases of national subscription to
meet a public calamity might not the whole-burden
have beeu thrown on the Government with a plea
of as much justice and feeling as in the present.
awful crisis, which has overwhelmed our fell w-
subjects and countrymen in the East ? Are we to
stand by unmoved and withhold al: exertion to re:
lieve, because many of the sufferers may perhaps
eventually claim some compensation from the Gs:-
vernment. As well might the specta'ors and by-
standers at a railway collision look on and refuse
all effort to release or upraisa the struggling victims
before them, because in time it might be proved
that the railway directors and company will have to
dole out in a court of justice some pecuniary com-
pensation to the injured."

MEETING AT BATH.

A very influential meeting was held at the Guild•
hall in this city yesterday afternoon, "for the pur-
pose of considering what mettaures shall ba adopted
for the relief of the sufferers by the mutiny in In-
dia." The meeting was convened by the Deputy-
mayor, Mr. W. Bush (the Mayor being prevented
by illnesB from attendiug to his official duties), who
also presided, and wag surrounded on the platform
by a large number of officers and other leading citi-
zens.
The DEPUTY-MAYOR, having stated the objects
of the meeting and dwelt upon the sufferings of our
fel!ow-countrymen in the Ease, called upon the in-
habitants.of Bath to show their sympathies by un-
mistakeable deads.

" Admitting this principle, it remains only to
establish that in India there is at th:s jun& uro pri-
vate suffering among our ceunteymen of such ap-
palling magnitude as to call for the fu!lest sympathy
of our nat'on at large.
" In this stage of the inquiry be it remembered
also that the readiest contribute, s to our European
charities have, in many late instances, been the
very coremunity now struggling under one of the
severest dispensations of Providence that history
has ever had to record.
" The classes forming the sufferers by the mu-
tiny have been already enumerated at the Mansion
House meeting of the 2,5 th of August. They are
as follow :
" 1. The individuals and families of the public
services, and the military (officers and men) and
civil establishments of Government, whose houses
have been plundered by the rebel soldiery and the
rabble of the several cities and Ivo stations in the
upper provinces. Many are now eticaped with their
lives to Calcutta and elsewhere, without even
clothing or the means of present subsistence.
" 2. The hundreds of East Indian and other
Christian families from the'class of as-istants, clerks
and employes, in the different offices at the many
stations and outposts which h tve been plundered
by the mutineers, such families being now refugees
without means, or home, or clothing.
" ' S. The many European and Christian private
traders and settlersalso in the übovestation,f, in fact
absolutely ruined and deprived of their all.
" 4. The families of the many scatt red mis-
sionary and educational establishments tin oughout
the same provinces.
" 5. The many pensioners and their families,
the artificers and assistant overseers, and others em-
ployed on railways and roads, and in indig,) fac-
tories, and other trading concerns throughout the
same provinces ; the schools, shopkeepers, news-
paper andprinting establishments, hotels, &e.
' Of the four last clas-es it is impossible; to state
the exact number of sufferers, but their extent is
known to be great. Exclusive of wives and fami-
lies, and of the many sufferers in other places, there
are stated to have been I,sooEuropeaus and Chris-
tians lately residing in the principal stations ascer-
tained to have been plundered from Benares to
Kurnaul ; with wives and families, included, the
number of sufferers may be estimated at more
than 4,000.
" Many of these families were lately living in
comfort, with incomes varying from say 1001. to ,
5001. per annum. The majority are now refugees at
different places. In addition to these are hundreds
and hundreds who have arrived in Calcutta in the
return steamers, ordered to receive them from the
crowded river stations at the shortest warning, and
Who, we learn from the Calcutta papers and pri-
vate letters, are reaching that place in utter desti-
tution, so that a private subscription has been set
on foot, which was headed by Lord Canning, with
the princely private contribution of 10,000 rupees,
Lady Canning giving 2,000 rupees, and which, by
last accounts, was increased to about 90,000 rupees
by the Calcutta community ; while communica-
tions from that vicinity have reached England en-
treating that more aid may be immediately sent
out for these sufferers, and for the many still ex-
pected to arrive. Many of the leads of families
who have been spared are necessarily remaining at
the outro its and factories, and thus the wives and
children are arriving wholly unprotected and with-
out clothing. The munificent subscriptions of Lord
Canning and others prove that the exiting misery
is great, and the prayers to us for assistance
from home and elsewhere sufficiently establish the
extent of the calamity, and of the inadequacy on
the spot of means to meet it.
" But it is necessary to advert to the position of
the first and far more numerous of the foregoing
named classes who are in Government employ. It
is supposed that theseshould all look to the Govern-
ment for relief. It is impossible. As regards the
higher ranks and civil servants, many have friends
and resources of their own to resort to, but the
bulk of the middle and junior ranks of the army
are unknown in Calcutta, the upper cermtry being
hitherto their main place of duty and residence. By
the regulations of the service officers who lose their
camp equipage and other military equipments can
in due course claim compens ttiou from Govern-
ment, but the total of the sums awarded in any
cases of total loss are about 2,0(0 rupees for cap-
tains, and 1,600 for subalterns. The regular pay of
these ranks at all times is equal only to their pro-
per maintenance ; but this also is now disturbed.
In the majority of cases the bungalows and furni-
ture and other necessaries have been utterly de-
stroyed. The husbands, if still ou duty with the
remaining army and its new levies, require all they
can receive for their own subsistence to carry on the
duties required of them. Their families are thus
completely in want in their unhappy state of refuge
and separation, and perhaps there was never yet a
case of such urgent requirement of large national
relief for our fellow countryment as at this moment
exists at Calcutta and elsewhere throughout ladie.
" With the large proportion of the native army
which have mutinied it may be asserted that 2,000
individuals and families of the middle and junior
ranks are, throughout the Bengal Presidency, at
this moment in the predicament just described.
Some are widows and orphans, to be provided for
in due course by the military and orphan funds ;
but the yearly sums for captains widows are but
1251. per annum. payable quarterly, and 901. for
widows of subalterns, with al-out 401. yearly for
orphans. A small addition from Lord Clive's and
the Compassionate Funds'completes the total even-
tual income of these unfortunate ladies. How, in
the meantime, it may be asked, can these poor plun-
dered victims of the mutiny, thought their lives
have been mercifully spared, find means for pre-
sent maintenance—tor equipment for a voyage to
England ? It is alleged that the relief subscription
is not intended for such as these ; they must be re-
ferred to the Government. It is mere ignorance of
the unhappy facts themselves that could have
urged so unfeeling an opinion.
"Let us instance a few general facts applicable to
all classes. The instances are not imaginary one.s.

Major-General GODLEY then moved the following
resolution :

"That this meeting, sympathising with the many help
less sufferers by the late mutinies in India, who are now
reduced to a state of utter destitution, feels itself called
upon to record its public sense of this calamity, and its
detestation of the uulae,rd-of atrccities of the rebel army,
and of the rabble abettors of fts cruelty to helpless women
and children and our unarmed fellow-subjects in the
East, and trusts that the energetic efforts of the British
Government and of the East India Company for the re-
pression of the rebellion and the punishment of the guilty
may, by the Divine blessing, be crowned with the
earliest success."

After alluding to the all-engrossing nature of the
mutiny now raging in India, the gallant General
to.* a brief retrospect of the history of that coun-
try during the last 150 years. He condemned the
pseudo-philanthropy of some of our Indian gover-
nors, and contended that it was our overweening
confidence in the natives that had led tothe present
dreadful calamity. The barrier, however, was now
broken down, and we must henceforth rale with a
hand of iron. _

The resolution was seconded by Mr. BOULT, and
was carried unanimously.

The Rev. W. MAGEE moved—

"That, in consideration of the extreme urgency of the
case and the necessity for promptly meeting the wants
of the sufferers (now literally depending on others in
Calcutta and elsewhere for clothing and food, in addi-

Lion to their cruel lose of husbands and parents), this
meeting most auxtously entreats the benevolent contri-
butions of i's fell ,w-citizens, and recommends that sub
scl•iption listi be opened at the several banks and llbranes
in the city, and that the amounts, as col octet), be de-
spatched to the Ct ntral Committee in London."

There was a terrible eloquence in the facts, a fearful
euergy of horror in the tales of cruelty we were
continually hearing from India. The ears of the
inhabitants of this land were tingling with the atro-
cities perpetrated upon our fellow-countrymen and
countrywonien ; their sufferings were burnt into our
memory. Thore was no need for him to dwell upon
the subject. The word with which the resolution
began expressed the feelings of that meetiug and of
the country. It was the good old Saxon word
so expressive of English feeling and determination.
" Resolved."—We are resolved (said the rev. gen-
tleman) ; England is resolved. In the hour cf her
great danger and sudden calamity England stands
before the world resolved, and her noble attitude
has won the admiration of every civilized country.
We have fearful dangers before us, and difficult
duties to perform. We have to reconquer an
empire, to crush out revolt, to do justice ; God for-
bid that as a minister of the Gospel I should preach
vengeance, but we have to do justice, needful jus-
tice upon those wretches who have so barbarously
butchered our countrymenand countrywomen ; we
have to sustain the fortitude of our soldiers, to suc-
cour and help sorrowing widows and orphans, and
to face many difficulties, but the utterance of Eng-
land's heart is, "We are resolved ;" not frantic or
furious, not timid or dismayed, but calmly, sternly
resolved to do our du'y.
S'r A. ELTON, M. P., seconded the resolution.
Mr. W. T. Brain supported the resolution,
which was carried by acclamation.
A vary influential committee was appointed to
collect subscriptions, and the deputy-mayor an-
nounced that 4101. had alt eady been subscribed,
and he believed everything augured well fat a large
subscription in Bath.
Sir.A. ELTON subsequently entered his name for
201., awl several other gentlemen subscribed
smaller amounts.
