near Hampton, within two miles of Old

three sides the grounds spacious and attrac-

stocked with oysters, with which the table is
constantly supplied; the salt baths conveui

As the above inquiries are propounded ny

a Protestant, and can consequently have no
bias in favor of the Roman Catholic faith. L
was never engaged in a newspaper controver
sy in the Lexington Gazette, or any other pa
per, concerning the Roman Catholic Church
or any other Church aminclined to believe
that the story must have arisen from a con
troversy upon that subject, in which nave
heard that my predecessor in the proprietor
ship of the Gazette, Cornelius Z. Baldwin,
ESQ., was engaged Certainly Inever said a
word either in favor of or against Roman
Catholics in the Gazette or any other paper
In regard to the assertion that have NOT
in my writings in the Dispatch, preserved the
political neutrality which is avowed by the
paper, meet it with the most fiat and une-
quivocal denial, and challenge those who
make the assertion, to produce paragraph
or line in proof of their statement. The files
of the Dispatch are open to their inspection.

THE BRITISH FORCES IN INDIA.

According to late speech of Sir Erskins
Perry, in the House of Commons, an account
of which is given in the London Times, the
British forces in India number $4,000 men,
with Il, 900 officers, and maintained at an ex-
pense of eco, $4,000 The Times remarks,
that large and costly as this army may be, 1t
sits lightly on the population and resources
of India. This immense forceis composed of
British soldiers, seventy thousand in num-
Der, and native troops. Sir Ersk!ne Perry
has made motion in the House OF Com
MONS looking to the employment OF this I'M
mense army in the war against Russia, but
the imbeciles who rule the day Ill England,
succeeded in defeating the motion by large
majority. The Times expresses its great re-
greet that so sensible and practical move
ment was defeated.
The India army was shown by Sir Erskine
to possess the talent, experience and organi-
cation that are so much needed in the East
ern contest The Times enforces the pow
erful arguments of the speaker, and calls the
attention of its readers to the fact that the
small isles of Great Britain are always sup
plying 10000 soldiers to India, and not re-
ceiving in return one soldier to supply that
vast drain. "All former empires remarks
the Times, "that ever pretended to hold dis
tant countries in subsection, made fair ex-
change of armies so that while Italians
were holding Britain, or Numidia, or Dacia,
Britons, Numidians and Dacians were sta
toned in Italy, and were supplying candi-
dates to the Imp erial purple"

city was robbed of valuable gold watch, left him
by his father and despite the efforts of the polceto
trace It 10 its whereabouts nothing could be heard
Oft. Not many weeks SINCE friend of Mr.. Boyle.
who In N. Orleans at the time, saw the watch 10
the hands OF another man, and recognizing 1t, ad-
vised the holder to return IT, which he promised TO
do. One day last week, a young man arrived in
this city from New York, and calling on Mr. Boyle
delivered him the long los watch at the same time
ctterng him S25 to say nothing about the affair
Mr.. readily forgave the theft but reu. to accept
the money, whereup0n the mysterious and repent
aat robber drew from his pocket one of Coils five
shooters and made him present OF it, telling i'm
at the same time that if he had awoke when his
watch being taken, he would have been killed
with that identical pistol, there were two other
men with him. one of whom swore he would COM
nit murder rather than be- detected in robbery.
Mr.. Boyle took The pistol and let the culprt escape

FoReERY.-On Tuesday last, some per-
son unknown forged the names of John A. Lam
caster & Son TO a check on the Exchange Bank In
this city, for 1851 o., presented it TO the paying
teller, received the full amount and sloped with It
The Messrs. Lancaster found, by examining their
check book, that two blank checks had been cut
from il, and are of the opinion that their desk at
the American Hotel was entered by false key on
Sunday last, by which means the forger managed
10 get sight of the Juniors hand writing and coun-
tereit it so accurately that very few persons would
pronounce the signature a forgery. Yesterday
morning officer Chalkley arrested man calling
himself O'Brien, and took him to the bank officers
but neither of them could identity him as the
man who received the money, he was released
