TORTURE IN ISD1A.-1hc revelations made
in the British India are most horrible. The
N. Y. Journal of Commerce Justly says of
them that " the darkest pages of the secret re-
cords of the 1nquisition contain nothing more
truly appalling" And these crimes are COM
mitted, not by a bigoted church, acting in
concert with q despotic Government, but by
the country that boasts itself the most free and
enlightened in the world, and whose philan-
thropy recoils. with horror at negro slavery in
the United States. 1t is practiced for the
purpose of extorting taxes and swelling tic
revenues of conquered provinces. The author
ties of the East 1ndia Company affect to ignore
it, but there is no doubt of their completely.
and if they were really ignorant Of such
crimes against humanity the offense Of gross
negligence would be hardly less than that
OF participation. We do not doubt that
the public opinion Of England, once informed
upon these atrocities, will speedily and loudly
demand their suppression; but the horrible
Tact should teach them greater liberality in
their opinions upon the spots that obscure the
civilization of other countries.

WoNAS's Iowa young man, formerly OF
this city, who was arrested last spring and
condemned for bigamy, was released one day
this week, having served out his time. and was
met at the depot by his first wife, who had not
seen him before for several years. The meet.
ing was of a very affectionate character. The
young wife forgive his indiscrction, and took
him to a clothing store, where she purchased a
nice suit Of clothing for him, which he donued
when she placed in his hands a purse of three
hundred dollars, that she had earned since he
left her bed and board. The next day the re.
united and happy couple took the cars for New

AN AMBASSADOR FROM THE CANADAs AT
WAsn1NGroS.--The proposition to send a resi-
dent Minister to Washington, to represent
there the interests of the Canalas, is very Sc
riously debated there. The Toronto Board of
Trade make it the subject of special argument
in their recent report. We quote what they
say: -19a...0N 7a-.r{ r-
"1n approaching this very important CUES
ton your Counsel has not undervalue] the DIFF
~ficulties which surround it, nor have they
arrived at a hasty conclusion. The chief diff
Guilty which suggests itself to us, as British
subjects, proud of our connection with and al.
lance to the parent State, is, that if the pro-
posed representative at Washington be an am
bassador from the Government of Canada to
that Of the United States, which he should be
to have any weight attached to his suggestions
there, that the proposals to establish such
representation may be looked upon as an in
fringrment of the Royal prerogative, which
your Council would be the last to suggest.
1t cannot be denied that great necessity eY-
lists for some active, intelligent and influential
representative of the commercial interests of
Canada near the controlling power of the
United Statcs--and that, under the rapid
growth and daily increasing Importance of our
commercial relations with that country, this
necessity is every day becoming more keenly
felt. We see and point out the want, leaving
to the Governments of this country and Great
Britain the task of supplying The remedy.
Should neither Government see fit to take ac-
ton such as the commercial men of Canada
deem necessary, it will then be u matter of
consideration for the different Boards of Trade
throughout the Province whether q simply
commercial delegate should be appointed"

a place to lay him on to die.
