We cannot wonder that her
Majesty loft other lips to tell how deeply
she il affected by these events. But as if
from her lips, and with all the devotion due
to sovereign and lady, we accept the sol
emu appeal, when Queen Victoria com
mands her servants 10 inform Parliament
that she will omit no measure calculated to
ouell these grave disorders, and is confident,

powerful means at her disposal will enable
her to accomplish tina, end. Yes, our cause
is lust. On the whole we have been bene-
factors TO India. We have long maintained
peace and even prosperity, among those
countless millions. Change their natures

nest wishes and confident hopes that during
