many Iacs of rupees.
2. y law has been prepared, and is, it
is said, on the eve of being passed, to pre-
vent raiahs and other Indian millionairs
leaving their property to indirect heirs
Thus the possessor Of only 1000 rupees
leavo to his nephews and neices. bat any
one possessing 10 lacs or more can only
leave them to the Hon. East India Compa-
ny.
This law, if We are to believe the natives
was framed with view to the eventual
death of cert in rajahs who have no legiti-
mate children, especially TO that Of the
Rajah of Burdwan, who possesses millions.
This measure, it appears, in no manner
pleased hin, for he is one Of TIE indiyidu-
ais compromised in the present movement.
As regards the women, rightly or wrongly,
public rumor prevails that the Government
put them to death to avoid paying their
pensions. \ journal, speaking of the rents
of Mazpoorc, said last year that they had
been sent to pestilental residence that the
payment might stop.
;. The Government broke its word To-
ward the army. 1t had. in fact, promised
that the men should not cross the sea: now
in the Burmese war it ordered four rcgi-
ments to embark. The first order was dis
obeyed. The troops had right on their
side, yet they were decimated and fired up
on by Englist. cannon. At the time Of the
Silah war the army refused at critical and
decisive moment to cross the Sulej

cartridges brought about, with the gold of
the Rajahs and of the Kings, the present
revolution in India.
4. The Company's Government, de
spite its incredible resource, has always
gone beyond It's means, and has conse-
quently been compelled to contract loans.
Its debts actually amount TO $4,000, 900
sterling. 1t was necessary to cajole or fiat
ter n certain rich class in India, and to sue
cecd under mask of philanthropy, naive
Magistrates, Judges, and official Secreta-
ries were appointed. These situat lens on
" doubled the hatred Of the Mussulmen
against the "dog of a Christan;" and.
though even making money, the Govern
ment by no means advanced the welfare Of
the country.
The Bengalee is liar and thief by his
religion. Now, if you beat him or accuse
him on losing some article or other, he
leaves you and brings in action for his wa
ges The Judge, who is also a bengalee
gives it against you, having probably re-
ceived u douceur, and the Government APP
proves it because the court expenses are
paid.
The result of all this is 4 general state Of
discomfort among every class, whether
white or black, Mohammcdan, lIindoo or
Christian; hence the cause of the revolu

must have fastened the present outbreak.
The false phlanihropists OF India, under

and declared themselves the fliends of
their black brothers. To them must be
attributed the stories of torture on the high
minded Bengaee These discussions have
tended much to lower the Governors of
India in the opinion of the natives. who
have gradually acquired complete con

thus molestcd loses all dignity and respect.

Governor General is not worth that of the
smallest banker Of the bazaar.
