among the villagers. There are also,
scattered throughout the country, old
soldiers living in retirement. We know
from recent events that by means of let
tiers and messengers the soldiers of the
different regiments keep up an active
correspondence with each other; is it not
possible that they may also keep up "a
correspondence with non-military friends?
The European population in India is
small fraction. Few Europeans possess
more than an imperfect conversational
acquaintance with the native languages.
Difference of social habits and modes of
thought precludes in the rule habits of
intimacy between Europeans and natives.
The native soldier is identified with the
native population, while his English
masters are so many alien digectG mem
bra tossed hel plessly on its tumultuous
waves.
1t is obvious from these considerations
that the mutiny in the Bengal army has
social and civil import far beyond what
could possibly attach to the mutiny of
an English army at home. Let US ask
ourselves, moreover, while we speak of
disaffection as confined to the ranks of
the native army, who vouches for the 10y
atty of the innumerable native officials
attached to the various administrations
and courts of justice in the Mofussil p
The mutiny in the army has so engrossed
the attention of all Europeans in India
that no one has thought it worth his
while to send US word how the native
civil servants are deporting themselves
at the present crisis. 1t is not . Young
Bengal that we are apprehensive Of
The declaimers in that native press
whose ferocity has frightened the Legis-
lative Council of India into its silly, of
fensive, and useless Press Licensing Act,
are small knot of young men in whom
a halfEuropean education has excited a
fantastical admiration of old Indian US
ages, akin to the medieval follies of
English Puseyites and Scotch Celtic So
cieties. They have no influence over the
general feeling of India. The great
bulk of the natives listen to them as
Dame GIe,adinning did to SIR Psercit
Shotton. But the native lawyers, and
interpreters and taxgatherers are a very
diferent-a more practical, influential
and INSCRIPTIONS class of men.
Our object in these remarks is to poin
out how all civil authority may be, anC
most likely has been paralyzed by the
military mutiny in Bengal.

From HAYTI-The n. Y. Herald
publishes letter dated Port au Prince,
Aug. 10, which says:
. "The mOmentary depression produced
by the late fearful fire, has now nearly
disappeared. and business is more active
now than it has been for several years
past at this time of the year. An i'm
mense amount of lumber and other build
ing material has already arrived, and
more than half of the burnt houses are in
progress of re-erection. The money mar
ket is extremely stringent, owing to the
losses sustained by the fire.
American provisions command high
prices. The importations from Europe
and the United States for the last fifteen
days have been to the amount of $4,000
pounds sterling. The amount of the cof-
fee crop is now ascertained to be 100000
quintals logwood, $4,000 tuns cotton
280O bales, and syrup, perhaps 800 bar
rels. This comprises the whole of the
expectations of Hayti.
The government has made large i'm
portations of military stores oflate. This
and the levying oftroops in all the cities
tends to increase the belief of renewal
of hostiities with the Dominicans. The
latter are, as usual, again fighting among
themselves. The Baez and Santa Anna
quarrel is now worse than ever, and i
remains to be seen whether they will b.
able to unite against their common enc
my.
Port au Prince has long been in bac
reputation on account of the outrageous
charges of its physicians. The brig R
c. Dyer, after paying the most extrava
CANT doctors bills, has just been con
= demned by the court to pay the $50
= for trying to embalm her late captain
body. He had to be buried afterwards.

This is not all. The Bengal army,
with the exception of a few regiments of
GhoOrkas and Sikhs, is recruited from
the Hindoo and Mussulman population.
The Mussulmans muster strongest in the
cavalry, the Hindoos in the infantry
The BindOos are almost exclusively Raj
poots or Brahmins. A large proportion
both Of the Mussulmans and Hindoos
have been recruited in Dude, the Sover-
eign of which has recently been depos-
ed. The native soldiers are almost the
only class of natives who are animated
by a sense of political Importance. Even
the Sepoys CT the foot regiments are
placed by their moderate pay in state
of afHuence as compared with the great
mass of the village population. The
soldiers of the irregular corps may be
regarded almost as kind of minor gen.
try. Now, these men have annual fur
loughs of considerable length, during
which they visit their respective homes
and play the part of men of importance
