We learn, from the foreign correspondence of some of our exchanges, that another East Indian war is on the eve of breaking out. Indian wars hare been of such frequent occurrence since the British got footing in the great Astatic Pcnin* sula, that this intelligence will not, of couree, much surprise our renders But tho war. which is now impending there, is of an extraordinary and unique character, and different, in every respect, from oil that ever went before it. It is not against a Hyder AH, or a Tlppoo Saib—it is not against the fanatical Sikhs, or the heroic Affghans—that this war is to be waged. The enemy with which the British will now have to contend is of a more savage and sanguinary na ture than even the}’ ; and the accounts of him which we glean from various sources recall to our memory those half discredited stones that Herodotus tells us about the terrific monsters which spread dismay among the lillW coiuniu i mtics of Hellas in the mystical ages. The war, in fact, which the British arc now about to wage in India will be a war against Tigers, not men. It is with the quadruped, not the biped, of the forest, that the masters of that great country will now have to battle.— Nor will this war be offensive on their pail, but purely defensive. The enemy has been, in the present instance, aggressor. lie lias rushed out of his jungles and fastnesses, and devnsta - led their territory and put their people Inflight, I so that the land is a wilderness, and its inhob j ilnnls 100 poor to pay the accustomed tribute, i In a word, an army of tigers has invaded a dis trict of Uie Xarbuddah Territory, driven away its occupiers, taken forcible possession of their , properly, and left the Anglo Indian Govern ment minus a revenue which amounted annual ly to a Ink)i and fifi v’thousand rupees 1 There was finely rutus hill i more valid than that which had given rise to the Russo-Turkish war. and, accordingly, the Governor General has proclaimed hostilities against the invndtrs. and is. at present, boldly engaged drumming up volunteers for the conti mplaled expedition, promising to furnish elephant shikanes. and all expenses to (hose who w ill conic forward and enroll I hemsi h es ns candidates for glory in the tiger war. The journals don’t sn\ vvhnt war rior is to command the Volunteer Corps of Gor don ('umtilings’ and .Jules Gerards’, but doubt less some chief high in reputation among the Indian generals will receive the appointment. — Whether the felines will h< able to hdd their to oppose them, wc shall not vmline to predict, hut even the Brilishets who me apt to under rate the prowess and strength of Hieir foes, ad nut that it will take al least two sanguinary campaigns to extirpate and overcome ngerdom. In due season we shall of course he applied ol the result. Be this howevtr "lint tt may, one thing is already certain : that mver yet have the* Kng ii.'.h licen engaged m such another contest, or with such another enemy since tho day when I Ilengesl and Ilorsa (hst led them to thecoinpiesl ninJ colonization ol Biium, We have dvetned the war not unworthy of this brief notice, l«dh because of its singular ttnd abnormal nature, and because it reveals a phase of Indian social hfe nut generally supposed to exist. i rune mu.

The Ship Resolute. Tlio purchase and presentation to tho British Government of the discovery ship Resolute , lias excited an immense sensation inEngland. The vessel safely arrived at Portsmouth, on Frida) , tho 12th-oil., and, since then, Commander Hart stein and Ms officers have roost emphatically been recognised as national guests. Tho Queen, sharing tho Interests and the sympathies of her people, paid a visit of honor to hor pewly re stored barque, and to tho American officers com missioned to restore her. The English papers aro filled with occoiints of the proceedings, and are much delighted with (ho manly and simple address used byCupt. Hart stein in going through tho pleasant duty entrusted to him, and with the frank and nnccremonioir. words that fell in re sponse, unbidden, from the Royal lips. They appear to think, that, so far ns international re lations can bo affected hy minor events, this gift of tho Resolute, and the manner of its ac ceptance, have far higher import than all the pomp and glitter of the late lmperi.il Coronation nt Moscow. G.ipt. Ilartfitein, who has b-'en invited to dine at the Queen’s marine villa at Osborn'*, has, to gather with Ins officer?, been overwhelmed with friendly attentions and hospitalities, emanating alike from public institutions and private good will. Apartments have been provided toi thorn at the public expense, and passages hack to the United States have bm-n taken for them, nl though it is probable lti.it a *ar steamer will he detailed for this special sen ice. it is not Ini probable, also, that the Arctic Medal will he presented to Commander Hmlslein, Lieut.

"VS e can imagine no rending so well adapted at once to liberalize and to inform, to discipline and ex cite (he mind, as that of these leading periodi cals.
