CAUSES or THE INDIAN REvoLr--.rhs New Yorl
Journal Of Commerce, probably well informed ol
the subject, attributes the Indian revolt to mederI
intrigues, aud in an exposition on the subjec
makes very fair showing to substsntiats that po
sition, as follows:
..The belief seems to be gaining ground in vel
informed circles in England that the revolt In Ben
gal was instigated by the Mohammedap intrigue
and that the story of the cartridges wasa cunning
y devised scheme to excite the anatical prejudices
OF the high caste (Brahmin) soldiers and by thus
csusing the only class with arms In their hands
| anu capable OF making stand to forsaks their
coiors to effect temporary junction between the
Mohammedans and Hindoos, the ayowed object OF
which Is to break the yoke OF tho foreigner while
the real object is to restore the ancient dominion
| OF the Megui Emperors. Apart from the mutiny
OF the soldiers and the of which they were
guilty there has been act OF the Hindoos which
indicates any settled purpose 80 far as they are
concerned while the only really revolutionary acts
that have been committed denote an attempt to
store the Mosul dynasty in the person of the King
OF Delhi and ayenge the wrongs of the King of
Dude and other Moslem princes whose territory
has been annexed by the British Government-
Next to Delhi, the ancient seat Of the Mogul En-
pire, the raliying point of the rebels is Lucknow
the capital of Dude, the most recently annexed
Aohammedan teri itory The time chosen for this
attempted restoration Of Aoslem rule is the hun
sy; and If these leading facts are viewed in connex
ion with the tradition, which is said to prevail In
Bengal. that the Koonpanie Sahib shall reign for
one hundred years. and then be overthrown, and
with the mysterious distribution of cakes and lotus
flowers among the villagers and the native soldiers
and the suspected completely of the dethroued King
of Oude and his Minister. we'll as that of other
hohammedan princes. and the Mussulman con-
spiracy at Calcutta and Alahabad. 1t does not ap-
pear violent presumption to suppose that the
Mnhammedans the chief instigators OF the re-
volt, although the Hindoo soldiery have been the
most prominent actors in it,
THE SUGAR TaApR.-The fall in the value of sugar
and nolasses has been great within few weeks
past. The losses on the stocks on hand must have
been mapy millions of dollars to dealers In this
country, and much more to foreign holders. The
Boston Post SAYS f
The decline from the highest point il now over
cents pound, and there is strong probability
that bottom is not yet half reached When the
decline had reached only one-hslf the present
amount, few weeks since, the New York Indepeii-
dent estimated that on the stock of 5000 tons of
sugar and four million gallons of moasses held IN
that port alone the loss then fully three and
half million dollars. OF course IL must double that
now; and II this loss Is made that stored in New
York alone, what must it be on the vast .uantty
afioat, in store in Europe and in the United States
and the stocks on hand in the sugar exporting
countries: 1tcannot be less than fifty millions of
dollars already, and as the tendency is steadily
downward, it will probably reach hundred mil.
lions before the dealers will be able to touch the
ext cror.
MORE LIGHT UPON IT.-A gentleman lust from
Texas has communicated to us facts bearing on the
recent melancholy death of Senator Rusk which
throw more light on that sad event than all else
concerning it we had previously learned. 1t seems
that he was suffering at the time most grevousiy
from carbuncle on the back of his neck, which,
for sixty days, had bailed the skill of his physi-
can, and bade fair, unless arrested soon, to termi
nate in his death He had been suffering in tensely
from it Oh the day he committed the fatal act and
it was believed by those nding him that the
agonies of the disease, added to his belief that it
would deprive him Of life in less than thirty days
| had much TO do in bringing about his resolution
| to make away with hmsef-Hdsh. Star.
SINGULAR RESULT OF KIss.-An English paper
| informs that q girl Of seventeen, residing at
Bridgeport. Glasgow, named Catherine Burt, was
brought to the central police office of that CITY,
| having had her neck fractured In a struggle arfs-
| ing from young man having attempted to kiss
her No extra violence, it was said, had been used
Dr.. NGill was in attendance and reported that the
injury sustained appeared to be partial dsloeation
| of one of the vertebr@ of the neck, causing great
difficulty in respiration and swallowing-he pre-
snmed, from pressure on the respiratory She
was ordered to the infirmary, but her friends pre-
| ferred taking her home, where she now lies in a
dangerous state. Steps are being taken to have
the young man apprehended
| We puOiish this as warning TO young ladies
nat to resist such attempts. If serious result
followed resistance which, from the nature OF
the attack was very slight, the consequence Of o
more forcible repulse might have been fatal.
ARREST FoR LIBEL.--Justice Davidson, of New
York issued his warrant on Saturday afternoon for
the arrest OF James Gordon Bennett. Esq, of the

sell had sold his client, Devlin, lone of the street

Thursday afternoon last, difficulty occurred be-
tween Mr.. John Bush, of the firm Of Doty Bush,
| lime merchants at Chicago and man name Nor
ris Cochrane, wagon driver in the employ of
another lime firm. 1t seems Cochrane had been in
the habit of going 70 the customers of Doty & Bush
soliciting orders, and delivering lime to some of
them without orders. This exasperated Bush, who,
meeting Ccchrane near the Milwaukee depot, an al
tercation about the matter which resulted in
| blows, the first being given by Coehrane. Bush,
| who is powerful man, as, in fact, were both,
