Matters IN Inoia are looking little better for
the isolated garrisons Of British troops that are
holding their own in Bengal; but there is still
stout work ard hard blows before them, and
more than that before the government at home,
which has to back them and supply them with all
tie siIeUs Of war.

that England will not be able to reconquer the
revolted territory, or that Il she docs she will

every confidence in British pluck, and that peril

every Hiudoo as soon as the power of England
begins TO show in the arrival of achievements
In the far distance her power will loom up to the
Indian mind with magnificent proportions
But there are already evident in Bengal
CAUSES that will produce violent effects there ard
perhaps still more important changes in England.
Sir Colin Campbell, the chief who was sent out
with all speed to remedy the blunders Of his pre-
decessors, is so hampered and bound up with the
system Of routine and the jealousy of official
power that the world may yet behold in Eng
lands army in India what it saw in
her army in the Crimea. The ignorance,
wilfulntss and stupidity of the officers
who controlled the management Of every
department OF her army and navy curing the
late war were so notorious that the world
laughed with scorn, and the people of Eaglaud
howlod with disgust. How parliamentary in
quiry was the result, how it reported honestly,
how this report was quasheo and the whole army
wh,washed 60 as 10 cover up the foul stains is
a matter of history.
All this is owing to the systcm under which
her army and pavy are administered. The scions
Of the ar.stocraey have seized upon every post Of
honor or emoument, and iDcapacity, if it had
strong connections at home, was sure OF sitting
ftalicss'y IN every high place. Nov, If the same
practices that were carried on in the Crimea are
