LONDON, SA.TURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1850.

Accounts from Hindostan contain the mention of
another mutiny among the soldiers of the NIZAM.
The announcement of this new embarrassment to that
unfortunate Sovereign, while reminding us of his
questionable position in reference to the supreme
authori;ies at Calcutta, elucidates to our comprehen-
sion only the more clearly and the more explicitly
the cause of his great financial involvement. His
treasury has naturally, or we should rather say, ine-
vitably, suff-red from the preposterous system so long
practised in the dominions of the Dekkan—the custom
of supporting an enormous army for no earthly rea-
son whatever, an army, the maintenance of which has
exceeded the capabilities of the resources of the
country, and are consequently on that very account
perpetually ripe for rebellion. The folly of this
egregious act of military extravagance on the part
of the NJZAM becomes only the more apparent when
it is considered that while his superfluous troops are
continually in arrears as to their pay, the large dis-
bursements requisite for the bolstering up of this
profligate system of administration precludes the
ruler of the Dekkan from transmitting to the Com-
pany the periodical instalments of the contingent. For
the sake, therefore, of upholding a vast and unwieldy
body of soldiers, this mistaken or ill-advised Monarch
has been aimultaneou sly undermining his interests
in two directions ; he has been giving a handle to
the two-edged sword of intrigue and insurrection,
while his annual defalcations have been leading more
and more directly to his estrangement from the
British-Indian Government.

A merely superficial glance at the history of the
Asiatic peninsula during the last half-century will be
sufficient to demonstrate beyond all contradiction the
justice of our claims upon the Nizalt of the Dekkan
and the shamelessness of his repeated evasions of the
contingent. About the close of the last., or the com-
mencement of the present, century, the ruler
of those immense and fruitful dominions col-
lectively designated the Dekkan recognised the
absolute and imperative necessity of supporting his
state (by some judicious alliance) against the incur-
sions of the more powerful and predatory hordes of
Hindostan. Against the formidable strength of the
Mabrattas e specially it was essential that some such
bulwark should be erected. To that end a treaty
was formally entered into with the Company's Go-

vernment, whereby the latter was pledged to defend
the NIZAM from destruction, receiving as a just
equivalent for so doing a certain stipulated contingent.
In no respect has it ever been pretended that the
amount of this contingent could be regarded
as extortionate. But for the acquiescence of
the councils of Calcutta in this arrangement
the Dekkan must very speedily have been overrun
and parcelled out amongst its conquerors. But for
the sustaining friendship of England the NIZAM must
speedily have been deprived alike of his revenues, his
sceptre, and his dominions. Already the preliminary
bitterness of this partition had been tasted by the Su-
bandar. For it cannot be forgotten by his successor that
after his ignominious defeat at Kindlah a quarter of
his territories was ceded to the Mahrattas as the only
means of preserving the rest from absorption. Be-
sides these most dangerous antagonists, the NIZAM
had to maintain a bold front against one yet more
detested and formid Able, the great and redoubtable,
the daring and at that time yet unconquered Tirroo.
Surrounded by this accumulation of perils, he looked
at length to the arms of the victorious Company for
aid against an otherwise unavoidable annihilation.
That aid was furnished. The tide of disasters was
turned northwards. Tirroo himself was over-
thrown. The power of the terrible Mahrattas
was broken. And year by year the enemies of
the Dekkan were driven back until tran.
quillity (comparatively speaking) has been car-
ried to the northernmost frontiers of the
Punjeub, to the farthest boundaries of Sinde, and the
feet of the Himalayas. During all this period the
Company's Government has had to fight desperate bat-
tles, to pass through the fiery ordeal of many terrible
campaigns, to lavish the gold of their coffers and the
blood of their best and bravest soldiers on a cause
which, while it was their own, was also incontestably
the cause of the NIZAM. Yet throughout the whole
of this momentous interval of fifty years, throughout
the memorable half century which has elapsed
since the treaty of 1800, the treaty pledg-
ing the Company to the defence -of the
Milos, and requiring the NIZAM, in his turn, to
furnish a moderate contingent to the Company, the
last mentioned stipulation has been only sparingly
and intermittently performed. During the first and
second war against the Mahrattas, for example, the
number of the troops furnished by the ruler of the
Dekkan was miserably disproportioned to that which
should have been actually forthcoming. Instead of
9,000 horse and 6,000 foot soldiers, as was
originally arranged by the convention, a force
of scarcely 4,000 was furnished as the
NIZAM'S complement. Calculating the omitted
eleven thousand at the rate of 40 rupees per man and
horse per month, it may be recognised very readily
how enormous has been the defalcation of the Dekkan
when its evasion of the contingent has been at once so
large and frequent. To pretend, as the defenders of
the NIZAM do pretend, that he has been exempted
from all necessity of following out the provisions of
the treaty, in consequence of the fact that his do-
minions are no longer endangered by the
contiguity of the Mahrattas, of TIPPOO SAID,
or of any other vigorous and unfriendly neigh-
bours, is clearly absurd. So far from that cir-
cumstance furnishing the SOVEREIGN of the Dekkan
with reasons for any such exemption, it does exactly
otherwise. It only renders the fulfilment of the
treaty of 1800 more binding than ever upon the
NlZAM—seeing that while he himself has been such a
shameless and perpetual defaulter, the Company's
Government has been true to the very letter of their
agreement; while the contingent has been withheld,
the cause of such compensation has only been gra-
dually increasing, the power of England having
driven far from the frontiers of the NIZAM',
territory the hostile ranks at one period threatening
its destruction. With all sym pa thy, therefore, for the
embarrassing position of that Oriental Monarch, we can-
not but feel a deep and abiding indignation at his faith-
lessness to our friendly Government, at his dereliction of
all honourable principles in evading the payment of the
contingent, and at his insane defiance of all economy
in finance, and of all policy in administration, by
keeping up a military force, for ever draining
his exchequer, and for ever acting as the
hotbed for sedition. Carrying on his councils
in this manner, he has brought his revenue to the
very verge of bankruptcy, a revenue at one time
yielding no less than three crorea or millions
sterling. He has, in addition to all this, been,
as it were, systematically estranging himself
from the Company's Government. And to

crown the enormous folly of his proceedingg, he ha:
been now, for some time, reposing his confidence not
in the advice of some sagacious Minister, but in the fa
natical ravings of some holy dery isb, supposed to been.
ligh'ened by the wisdom of celestial or diabolic visions,
deriving his hopes of extrication out of existing diffi
culties from the suggestions of the ghastly Dives, or
the hint of the gigantic Afiites. Such being the
disastrous fashion after which the affairs of the NIZAM
are conducted, we can only look with increased and
increasing solicitude to the chances of an ultimate
reconciliation between himself and the Company's
Government.

The public attention has recently been strongly
directed to the painful fact that crimes of the most
atrocious character are decidedly on the increase, and
that the time has arrived when some vigorous and
energetic measures must be adopted for its repres-
sion. We have always been taught that " prevention
is bettyr than punishment," that it is far better to in-

sure obedience to the law than to inflict the most
stringent penalties on thole by whom it may be violated.
The murder at Frimley has afforded a melancholy
proof that in various parts of the country there is no
adequate protection for person or property ; and,
also, that persons accustomed to the habitual commis-
sion of petty offences will readily involve themselves
in any further atrocity if obstructed or impeded in their
nefarious proceeding,. It has also brought to liAht
numerous offvnces that had previously been passed
sub silentio, or which bad at least been but little heard
of beyond the limits of the various localities in which
they had been perpetrated. We now receive with asto-
niahment the information that in a Lingle district
(Godalming) there had been no less than eighteen
cases of burglary, accompanied with violence, since
March last, and from another locality it is stated that
" last winter as many as 30 houses were entered and
several others attempted within a circumference of 15
miles"—that " not merely plate, watches, but bulky
clocks, carpeting, clothing, and any furniture of mode-

rate portability" were carried off. The neighbourhocd
was alarmed, individual precautions were taken in
the way of procuring additional firearms, new bolts
and fastenings to their doors, and alarm bells,
&c., but no combined movement was
either for the purpose of arresting the
mischievous desperadoes, or preventing, or even
impeding their future operations. A practical im-
punity was afforded to the offenders, who revelled on

the gains of their infamous practices, and laughed at
the consternation they excited. The ordinary pre-
cautions of their iniquitous trade were dispensed
with ; they openly reconnoitered the scenes of
their intended operations on the very days when
they were to be visited, and made inquiries at
the surrounding cottages. The apathy and su-
pineness of the authorities inspired them with
the fullest confidence, and induced them to pro-
ceed openly, and almost without concealment.
Nothing less than a sanguinary murder could awaken
the dreamers from their tranquil slumbers, or induce
them to take active measures to bring this untoward
state of affairs to a termination. That has unfortu-
nately been committed, and now there is a wide-
spread panic, and a demand for the immediate adop-
tion of the most stringent remedies and the passing
of new enactments suited to the extent of the emer-
gency.

Various suggestion?, well worthy of serious con-
sideration, have already been put forward, and among
others, by an esteemed correspondent (Mr. RIGBY
WASON), two of whose admirable letters, to the
Home Secretary, on this important subject have al-
ready appeared in our columns, to which we ear-
nestly invite the attt ntion they so eminently merit.
But we would venture to remind the community
that some time must elapse before a legislative re-
medy can be applied to the disease, end tht►t
the long and dreary nights of winter—the
season when such transactions are of most
frequent occurrence—are rapidly approaching. They
must, therefore, fur the time being rely upon their
own exertions for safety, and make the beat use of the
materials within their reach. It will not be sufficient

to grumble or complain of the negligence of the au-
thorities, if they do not strive to excite the vigilance
of the magistrates and constabulary of the vicinity
and if that is not practicable, then to co-operate cor-
dially tcgether for mutual protection. "Union is
strength ;" and wherever a local association is
formed for the purpose of actively pursuing
and bringing offenders to justice, we venture to
assert that the distrust will be preserved from out-
rage, that the existing law of the land will be found
sufficient if duly and strenuously brought into ope-
ration.

And first, it is of the utmost importance that a
warm reception should in every instance where it is
practicable be given to the intended robbers. A
burglar taken in the fact, or driven from the premises
without accomplishing his purpose, will have a greater
moral effect than if ten were arrested after
the lapse of a few days, when they had es-
caped with their booty. The salutary example
afforded by the faithful servants of Mr. lIOLFORD, at
the Regent's-park, was of the most valuable cha-
racter. Oae was seized red-handed, and another
seriously wounded. These premises will be safe from
further attack even from the most desperate banditti.
There will be no intrusion on the house in which the
trustworthy JAMES PAUL, Or GEORGE BENNETT, Or
Jonri HALL—men who showed themselves prepared
to risk their own lives for the protection of their
master's property—are resident. Burglars are essen-
tially cowardly. They are well aware that if a con-
flict should take place, they must fight with " ropes
about their necks," and they will carefully
eschew such dangerous pastime. They will
only visit houses where they hope to instil terror
into the inmates, and to enforce a speedy obedience to
their demands. Whenever, therefore, the adult male
inhabitants of a house are sufficiently numerous, they
should be fully prepared with weapons offensive and
defensive, and have their plans fully matured, in case
of any attack, so as to repel the assailants, and at the
same time give warning to the entire neighbourhood.
Organized bodies should also be formed, who, on
hearing the slightest alarm, would hasten
to the scene of danger, and not only afford
the required assistance to their neighbours,
but be ready to assume the offensive in turn'
and to fullow up the tracks of the offenders without
a naornent'ehdelay. These are the first steps to be
taken, and when they have been completed, it will be
not only advisable, but absolutely necessary, to ex-
amine carefully the means by which every description
of crime can be prevented, and the perpetrators
brought to exemplary punishment. We believe that
this may be done without infringing upon the liberty
of the subject, or regarding mere suspicion as equiva-
lant to proof. Under excitement, such as now pre-
vails, persons are too apt to look only to the danger
they desire to avoid, and are not cautious enough as
to the nature of the precautions to be adopted; thus
the remedy will frequently prove worse than the
disease, and we may find that in " shunning Scylla,
we may fall into Charybdis." This must be avoided,
and the utmost care must be taken in our efforts to
attain this great desideratum.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1850.

Presidency of the Union for eventual assistance in the
case of irolongation of anarchy. A body of executive
troops marched from Gotha to Coburg on the 7th, and
Union troops are also expected."
A letter from Hanover of the 14th states that the
Ministry Stiive had resigned in a body, and that
their resignations had been accepted by the KING.
M. LINDEMANN, the chief burgomaster of Luneburg,
had been entrusted with the formation of a new
Cabinet, which will be favourable to the line of policy
followed by Austria.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The following is the short order cf the day issued
by General KEOGH to his army, relative to the defence
of Friedrichbtadt

" Schleswig, Oct. 7.
" The enemy made several desperate efforts, prepared
and supported by a quantity of he avy artillery, to carry
and possess himself of, and drive us from our works at,
Friederichstad t.

•' The garrison under the command of their brave
commander, Lieutenant. Colonel liclgeson, honourably
repulsed their attacks. The endurance, contempt of
death, and the true soldier spirit which was rcanifea-d
during the fiercest moments of the assault, deserve to be
held up as a brilliant example.
" The army and its General thank their brave com-
rades, the defenders of Friedrichstadt.
(Signed) " KROGU."
The town of Friedrichstadt is completely destroyed,
there is not a single inhabitant in it.
The Borsenhalle says that Prussia has addressed a
note to Russia, England, and Austria, relative to the
arrangement between those powers to interfere, by
force if necessary, to put a stop to the hostilities of
Denmark and the Duchies. In this note Prussia
takes her stand on the protest she made against the
protocol of London, and repudiates foreign interfer-
ence in a question purely German, as well as on the
question of the succession of the Duchies, which, she
states, would be contrary to the rights of Germany.

MONEY and COMMERCJAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady,
and closed with rather more animation. The sales were
estimated at 6,000 bales.—ln Railway Shares a fair
amount of business was transacted at steady quotations.
The amount of the Bank of England note circulation
was increased last week, but this was not the result of
any extension of loans on " other securities," but of the
usual appropriation from the " rest" for the dividend
due on Bank Stock. The public and private deposits
pretty nearly balanced each other as respects Increase
and decrease, but there was a repayment of loans made
for the period of the shutting which caused a diminution
under the head of " other securities." The reserve of
notes was diminished to some extent, and also the bul-
lion. The return under notice is to the 12th instant,
and therefore does not come down to the date of the
dividend payments, which will cause the next weekly
statement to show important changes. Compared with
the previous week, the following alterations are exhi-
bited:—

The exchanges upon the principal continental cities
were lower again yesterday afternoon, that is, against
the merchants having bills to dispose of. This is a
matter that has attracted some attention lately, the de-
cline having been continuous ; and although there is ab-
solutely nothing in it to excite uneasiness, it certainly
betokens the action of some adverse cause which, whe-
ther temporary or likely t•-) be of duration, deserves re-
mark. It has been stated in explanation, that certain
financial operations have been pending in aid of one or
two leading Governments, and that this throws more
paper upon the market, besides drawing away specie ;
otherwise with the large arrivals we have had recently
from South America and distant parts there would,
doubtless, have been a fuller amount in the Bank of
England, as we have not taken such heavy supplies
lately of foreign grain as to render it out of our power
to liquidate the same to the greater extent by barter.
This may be the correct solution of an apparent pro-
blem, since it is notorious that Russia, Austria, and
other states have been severely tried in their resources,
and have little chance of obtaining loans at home. The
quotations for ninety days' paper have been as fol-
lows :—Paris, 25 4211 to 47i ; Antwerp, 25 421 to 45 ;
Hamburgh, 13 91 to 4 ; Frankfort, 119fi to a ; and
Trieste, 12 4to 8. It may be observed, that so far as
the mere partihg with two or three millions of bullion
is concerned, the Bank would experience actual relief
and increase of profit, though every one likes to see a
high amount in its coffers, and looks about inquiringly
when it dwindles.

Decrease

Rest

The weekly i;ilway traffic returns show, in the ma-
jority of instances, a smaller amount of increase over
the corresponding period of 1849 than upon some pre-
vious occasions recently ; but this important truth yet
stands prominently forward—there is an increase, and
no slight one either, while the additional mileage comes
steadily into play as a productive power, instead of an
absorbent of the profits of the existing trunk lines.
There has been submitted to the attention of compe-
tent judges in the City certain elucidations of book-
keeping, in so far as the principles of " balancing" are
concerned, that seem to afford a very useful guide to
the younger officials in mercantile establishments. The
writer (Mr. G. W. Boulter, who is a practical man)
states, " that be has been frequently applied to for his
assistance in balancing a set of books. The applicants,
in such cases, have been mostly young clerks, who
having managed to keep a set of books, with tolerable
accuracy, have yet, when called upon to balance the
ledger, found themselves incompetent. This incompe-
tency arises from various causes, but chiefly from their
not baying thoroughly studied the principles of book-
keeping. An idea exists that a young man should not
learn book-keeping until he enters a counting-house, and
that when once he gets into an office he will soon • pick
up' the necessary knowledge. There cannot be
a more erroneous idea, as a clerk who trusts

to this method of learning book-keeping soon discovers,
for although the details may vary, yet the general prin-
ciples of book-keeping must be the same in every busi-
ness; and unless these general principles are well un-
derstood the young book-keeper cannot balance his
books correctly. These general principles, therefor.,,
should be thoroughly studied, either under a teacher or
from some of the many works written on the subject.
Having done so, the young clerk may then reasonably
expect to be able to balance his ledge."_

The author then illustrates the Method of" getting the
balance," always a tedious and dreaded operation in mer-
cantile houses, in the subjoined manner:—
" In the ledger we find two distinct classes of account,
the one showing the trader's assets and liabilities, as in
single entry, and the other showing bie gains and losses,
as peculiar to the a 3 stem of double entry. To the for-
mer class belong the accounts of ' cash,' bills receivable,
bills payable, William Bone, and Charles Nixon; and 'to
the latter class belong the accounts of cotton, merchan-
dise, adventure to New York, sugar per Vixen, wine in
Co., charges, and commission. By these two classes of
accounts wo are able to prove the correctness of the
ledger. From the former class we find that T. Dent is
worth 2,485 Z; now, this amount should be equal to the
amount of his original capital and his gains. From the
second class of accounts we find he has gained 48.5/.,
and this, added to his original capital, 2,0001, does equal
our former result, thus proving the accuracy of cur ba-
lance. Hence the process of balancing this ledger con-
sists in collecting together the assets and liabilities, and
the gains and losses. The former are collected into the
balance account, and the gains and losses into an account
termed profit and loss."

An attempt is making in the City to supply a want
much felt, viz., an " Universal Club of till Nations,"
several influential firms having promised their support.
The accounts from Manchester report a little more
doing for India in textile fabrics, but otherwise no acti-

vity,— The Leeds market was rather dull, but an average
business was doing for the season. At Bradford trade
was tolerably active.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 17th was firm.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 561. Spanish Bonds
were without alteration, and Peruvian Deferred higher

The exports of bullion, direct from London this
week, and to Thursday last, comprised 132,472 ounces
of silver, and 18 ounces and 1004 of gold, chiefly to
Holland and B,lgium.
The English Securities have been rather duller, but

Three per Cents. have been 38k; Dutch Four per Cents.
have been in request at 881 to 891. Railway Shares
have been rather heavy, and in most cases cheaper.
in English mining shares this week a good business
has been done, and dividend-paying concerns are firm a
full prices.
