PCGiLfSTS INDICTED.
New YORK, Nov, Is. 1859.

The fighting men are in q quandary.-
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Tyler of Buffalo,
one OF the most successful detectives in the
United States, and an officer who enjoys
in high degree the respect Of the bench
and bar of Western New York, came down
from Buffalo with warrants for Heenan.
the Benicia Boy. John Morrissey, and
other pugilists and sporting men who were
engaged in the recent prize fights at Point
Abino, Canada West. A year or two ago
the Legislature of this State passed a law
with special reference to persons who miyh,
leave this State for the purpose Of parsici-
pating as principals or seconds, or in any
way as promoters of prize fight, making
such participations penal o.Fense. At
the fight between Morrssey and Heenan,
aud at the subsequent contest b tween
Price, Of Boston, and Australia Kelly, the
authorities we're unable TO effect the arrest
Of any of he parties, not fancying sk-im,

There are men who were 50 malicious as
to say that the police made no extraordi.
nary efforts TO do their duty on those oc-
casions, but of that there is no evidence.
al thc H'lPals III the Two last nghtS,
who are now in this city, have heen called

there are plain laws standing on tho stat

ENGLISH MARRIAGE PROVERBS,

OF the English adage, "Better wed over
the mlxen Than over the moor" We have
the following explanation: THE mixen
is the heap Of manure in the farmyard. -
The proverd means that it is better not to
20 far from home in search of wife ad-
vice as old as the Greek poet Hesiod, who
has line to this effect: Marry, in pref
erence to all other women, one who dweils
near thee. But a more specific meaning
has been assigned to the English proverb
by Fuller, and after him by Ray and Dis
raei. They explain it as heing y maxim
peculiar to Cheshire, and intended to dis
snade candidates for matriuony from tax
ing the road to London, when lies over
the mooriand Of Sta!Iordshire. This local
proverb, says D,rseli. is curious in
stance Of provincial pride, perhaps of wis
dom, to induce the gentry Of tina, county
to form iptcrmarrissss, to prolung their
own ancient families, and p"rpetra'c friend.
ships between them This is mistake.
for the proverb is not peculiar to Cheshire,
or England. Scotland has it in this shape:
" Better roo DER hidden nor DER mass =
And in Germany they give tina same ad,

principle is expressed in difernt forms in
o:her languages, e. Your wife and
your pncget from neighbor.' (Italian.)
He tha, gees far to marry, goes to be de-
ceived.' -(Span'sh.) The polite Lord
Burlegh seems to have regarded this 20

done for the advancement Of mans ior

A BRAMlN's ACCOUNT OF HIS
CDUNTRY.-NOrIO OF INDIA.
HABITS OF SOCIETY, ETC.

The Rev. Mr.. Gangaoly, a converted
Brsmin, now travelling in this country, de
livered. in New Bedford. few nights. ago,
= lecture on the manners and customs Of
the people Of India. 81 &
Mr.. Gangooly said that the manners and
customs of Uindoo lie had always been
the subject Of much speculation, and trav-
elers and even missionaries had given to
the world inaccurate accounts of the peo-
pie Of India. lie had been requested to
prepare work upon his country, and he
had ALREADY done his part of the work, and
it was in heIhand of the Rev. Mr.. Hills, OF
Charlestown, and would soon be published.
The caste system was explained at some
length. The Hindoos were divided into
thirty four castles, Of which the Brshmin
reached the highest, and the banker, gold
smith and shoemaker were among the
lowest. The blacksmith of high caste,
because Of it's usefulness. Ii a DRAINING
eats animal food he loses his caste, which
he can never regain. The subject of birth
was next treated. The birth Of male
child was always made the occasion Of
great rel icing, while the birth OF female
was hardly noticed. The mother Of We or
six girls was always the subject of scoru
and derision, and never went into society.
There were but three castles in India
that cenld read or write The strictest at.
tention is given TO the education Of boys in
India, while girls never go to school The
discipline Of Brahmin life in some instsn.
ces was grand. A Brahmin rises as early
as five clock, walks out and gathers flow.

the kitchen; if they do not people will not

silent while at the table if they speak
while eating they are obliged to 90 without
food the entire day
The marriage system was next consid.
cred. Hindoos do not know, strictly, what
marriages are. Neither the boys or the
girls have anything to do with this matter.
Parents make all matches, and the parties
have no idea to whom they are to unite
,hcr drssinies until they arrive at the altar.
The marriag"ble nge Of girls is from seven
TO ten. and tina, Of boys from th;rt,en to
twenty five. A girl at thirteen years of
age, unmarried. is consideied an old maid
past all redemption.
In regard to the burial ccren ones Of
the dead in India. many things bad been
saii and written by travellers. tia, were un
true. The burning of the bodies OF Wild
ows upon flneral piles Of the hus baud. was
explained and accounted for b. the fact
that when a woman becomes a widow she
must always remain in that situation, and
they were never thonght anything of or
treated respectfully, and macy Of them. in
view of these facts, preferred death. This
custom has. said he sp".k,r, been recently
abolished by the British government.

The Americans will be less inclined 10
unite with the Republicans than they were
when BANKS was elected Speaker, owing
20 the enbittcreh sectional feeling existing
and the policy foreshadowed to the South
by BRowN's irsurrectou. Nor will the
Americans willingly give the organization
TO the Democrats. hrcnuse they are their
enemies at home ana upon the issues be
tween Democrats and Southern Ameri-
cans were the latter successful Inasmuch
ssrhe Republicans had the organization
in 1855, the Americans will doubtless
claim it now, and failing in this. as in all
probability they will, it is altogether likely
that in the end the South will unite for
the protection Of 's constitutional rights.
