irg them by payment of arrears and of receiving young and old alike into the ranks failed for long period. They declared they had no ar rears to claim from his majesty, and one gallant Subhadar of one of the regiments stepped in front Of his comrades, and stated he had served his maj .sty and his forefathers for forty years, and would enter no other service. We call upon that active officer Brigadier Gray, to deny if he dare the truth of these assertions. We record it with pain, but by the proclamation these men were all rebels.
 One extract more will give us the last act of the performance in India:
 It would have been supposed that the officers of the East India company, having annexed Dude, would have allowed the disinherited monarch the means for fair appeal. That right which can never be refused to a British subject, and which dethroned friendly mon- arch ought to have had freely granted to him. But it is a plan of the East India company to keep every thing in the dark, and to prevent the chance of fair hearing. The Premier was compelled to give the security of the Nabab Mohsen- ood- Dowlah not to leave lucknow . The same plan was followed with the minister of finance, Rajah Balkishen, and also with the Keeper Of the government record of Dude, Ba- boo Poorum Churn and it was hoped that by 'h"" NS P'i'i'S HID ot tuC SeiNlCeS ol these officers, bar would be placed upon his departure from Oude What could the King prove of the acts of Colonel Sleeman without the minister Ali Nubbee Kahn. How could he show the gradual defacation of revenue with out the minister of finance. How could he finally make manifest the orders, and counter orders, the interferences and intermeddlings to which he had been subject all based upon that treaty of 1887, now desired to be repudsted without the keeper of the records and those documents
 Lord Dalhousies dispatch boasted that he had accomplished all without the etfusion of one drop of blood," emitting to explain that this was because the King firmly believing the whole outrage would be annulled by the Queen of England, disarmed his troops and expressly forbade resistance.
 But though the King and his ministers were held prisoners in India, the Queen mother, an accomplished aud dgnifed lady, accompanied by her two younger sons repaired to England. She sought an interview with her majesty, and was refused. After spending some months in useless eutreaty, the Queen mother suddenly died. Her eldest son, next to the King, very shortly followed her to the tomb and sensible monitor thereupon
 Advises Punce Mirza, the heir presumptive to the throne of Dude, as he values his health and life, to leave the country without delay "The air'' is very apt to disagree with people who come looking for their rights to Ehgand.- Dublin Nation.
 All hope of redress in that quarter being ex- hausted, Dude was naturally eager to enter into the general league of Mohammedans and Hin- doos ito end the company's Raj" Oude we say, does not belong, and never did belong to the English; yet they are now marching into the country breathing vengeance upon the "re- bels." The King Is now close prisoner at Calcutta: he will probably be hanged in any event; and his people, if they unhappily prove unable to scourge Sir Colin Campbell out of their country, will be blown in patches of dozen. from the muzzles of eighteen pounders Since the world began there never was more atrocious history than this. If anything could aggravate the horror, it would be the dili- gent invention of stories of outrsges to convince the world that those East Indians are ''hyenas," |" :" "fends." torturers of children, violators of wo- men, and so forth-stories which are now at length proven and admitted in parliament (by the chairman of the East India directors) to be totally false from beginning te end. Not one prisoner has been mutiated, not one woman dlshonored by Sepoy, since the war broke out These things were all as false as the mine victorles'' of General Havelock
