| A PROBABLE FAMINE IN INDIA.-A terrible
famine in India is among the probabilities
| That portion Of the globe is evidently doomed
| to severe affection and suffering. The rebellion
has already been productive of many horrors,
and the future is shrouded in anxiety and gloom.
An immense population will ere long, be in a
condition Of wan: aud pauperism. According
| to the Calcutta HnTkarR, s'the scarcity OF corn
and grain will be felt for 500miles, that is from
| Allahabad to Umballah. 1t is not SO much the
coming season of dearth that is to be dreaded
| as the season or two that will follow. The
grain and corn now in the market will help fol
a time the little that may be realized at the
i next harvest will help u little longer, but then
comes the time of anxiety and want. In the
coming season scarcity Will cause rise III the
price of articles of consumption, and so con-
4 sume all the little savings OF the past year
| When that is exhausted, what is to avert a lam
ine7 Tbe.pgotits of one season enable the cul'
tiyator to cultivate his lands In the following
season; when he has no profit, he borrows; ano
when he cannot borrow, his land lies talloW
and he takes to begging that he may suppor
life. This is common occurrence IN TIM
tabled land of plenty, aud passes tnnoticed
from its frequency; and these men manage tc
live on the charity of their fellows; but who L
to support whole population Of beggars z
Those, It Is added, who live by daily toll, ar
even worse of than the cnltivator Of the soil
aThey have no grain or corn piled up in barn
|, for home consumption. Their daily earning
enable them TO purchase food, but their Dali
earnings have ceased, for their occupation
gone. When we see a poor fellow creatalr
, begging at our door, the merest trite
enough to provide him with meal, and sem
, him away with blessing on his life bu
! when 40 or 50 millions Of our fellow creature
are without food, the stontest and mos
callous hearts cannot hut quail at the speeta
Gle. What is this starving mass Thi
no iancied danger, nor imaginings of u hea
. ed brain. We remember, only too well, III
~ famine OF IS37-3S fuparts of this very prov

y y never pass away from our memory. We hav
a ino wish t0-witness their like. But that iamll
