FRIDAY, DECEMBER '4, 1,857!
THE CALCUTTA INDICTMENT..
Tice last papers from Etigiantl conWp a'
public document too Important td be twines-I
over by a journal which professes to give
information upon foreign ae, well as domestic
matters. It is the Calcutta Petition to thfi
Queen of England for the recall of Lord
CANNING, the present ,Governor Geneiiii; of
India. The petitioners, •who simply describe
themselves as "Christian Inhabitants of Cal=
cotta, and of the Presidency of Fort *ily
lifun,", include the leading racrehants, , btuk.
ers,
,traders, and /awyers of the place—,
almost every independent gentleman in ; the
locality, in' fact, not directly or proximately
under the influence of the Government. ,
The petition is, in, fact,. a terrible Well of
Indictment, and opens with a startling • view
of, the deplorable state of India, and pf i tlitif
.Qtte'en's ,ct most loyal Christian subjectV i
.
the Presidency. It aays;
Is not unknown to your Majesty that 'now
nearly all Behar, one of the first, and all Oude, the
last aoqutred of the territories of the East India
Company in India,.are in the possession of - the
rebels; that in every district English men, women,
end children have been foully and tretosheronelY
murdered, with every eiroutnstanee of horror; that
almost all the British and Christian population is
in mourning, the English name and reputation are
lowered, commerce cud trade ere paralysed, agri
culture is interrupted, ruin and famine ,are im
pending over those who have escaped mesas/re, the
treasuries of the linstaudis Company are pillaged
and exhausted, their credit is wholly gone, and
their securities aro so depreciated as to be almost
unsaleable at any. rate of discount."
They add the expression of their deliberate
conviction that all these calamities, the re.,
sults of the spread of the mutiny, aro directly
attributable to , c the blindness, weakness, and
incapacity" of the local government of India,
of which the present Governor-General is the
responsible head. In support of this em
phatic charge, the petitioners submit a va
riety of facts.
Some of these have long been patent to the
public, through newspapers, and other publi.
cations. Some are new. That the Indian
Government had full notice of the intended
Sepoy mutiny as fur back as last January, that
the tinkers who gave such information were
reprimanded for having done so, that the
Governor-General made no preparations to
meet the impending danger, and that be gave
no warning to the inhabitants of Calcutta, is
well known to the world. From the first,
Lord C.tionsa, whose power in . India is
as arbitrary as that of the Czar in Ens
sia, seems to have acted with weakness,
indecision, Impolicy, and blind self-confi
dence. He might have suppressed the
mutiny ere it reached maturity ha paused,
hesitated, temporized, and India was all but
lost under such misgovernment. Even while
rebellion and mutiny were around him, and
after the massacre at Meerut, on May 10th,
and at Delhi, on the 11th, his Lordship almost
ignored what had occurred. Ho discount°.
nanced the formation of volunteer protective
guards in Calcutta. He all but denied the
danger. Ho certainly neglected taking the
requisite steps to prevent it. As the peti
tioners say, fqf the Governor-General had,
in the month of May, armed and 'embodied the
Christian inhabitants of Calcutta, for the pro-
Motion of that city, it would have placed at
his disposal, for the relief of Cawnporo, the
whole, or nearly all, of tho European form) in
Calcutta."
To the weakness and vacillation of the Govarn
mont of India and its Council, any the Calcutta
petitioners, aro due the massacre , of CawnPore,
and the sufferings of the garrison of Luck
now, and of its Christian population,• com
prising among them hundreds wernatyrtutt
children:
Next came the gagging of the press—char
acterized as a proceeding uncalled for, des
potic, repugnant to British feeling, and most
mischievous in a country whore, as in India,
the free expression of opinion through a pub
lic press is the only cheek on a narrowly con
stituted and arbitrary government, and in
many instances, as has been often acknow
ledged by the most eminent English statesmen
that have ruled that country, has proved a
most valuable guide and source of informa
tion to them.
Lastly, is The Governor General's proela
mutton addressed to all the civil authorities of
the presidency, and containing directions as
to the mode of dealing with mutineers who
should be brought before them for trial, which
amount, in fact, to the declaration of an am
nesty to all mutineers, except those who should
have taken an actual and active part in the mur.
der of their officers and others.
The summing-up is too Important to be
pas Sod by. It runts thus t
The Governor-General by pertinaciously Stfatipg
at first to acknowledge the existence of mutiny,
by the subsequent feebleness and vacillation of his
measures, when it could no longer be denied, by
pursuing an ill-timed and hopeless policy of con
ciliation towards the rebels and mutineers, and by
his wanton attacks on the most valued rights of
your Majesty's British and Christian anbjeots in
this country, has, as your Majesty's petitioners be
lieve, been a principal cause of the great calami
ties which have desolated this land, has strength
ened the hands of the enemy, weakened or de
stroyed the respect before entertained for the name
of Englishman in the East, imperilled British rule
exposed the capital of British India to massacre
and pillage, excited the contempt of ail parties,
estranged from the government of India a large
and loyal body of Christians, and in every way
proved himself unfit to be further continued in his
high trust.
Praying for the adoption of a policy of
such vigorous repression and punishment as
shall convince the native races of India, who
can be influenced effectually by power and
fear alone, of the hopelessness of insurrection
against British rule, even when aided by
every circumstance of treachery, surprise, awl
cruelty, and may teach them henceforward to
respect the inviolability of English and Chris
tian men and women by the recollection of the
just retribution for foul and horrid murder and
outrage that their countrymen have exacted,
the petitioners humbly entreat Queen VICTORIA
to recall Lord CANNING, " and thereby mark
your Majesty's disapproval of the policy
hitherto pursued by that nobleman, and give
assurance in the future of the stability of
British rule, and of the security of life, honor,
and property, to your Majesty's most loyal
Christian subjects in this country."
In the teeth of such an indictment as this,
Lord GRANVILLE and Lord PAL3rEnsvox have
lately made public occasions for praising Lord
amuse, for expressing their full confidence
in his sagacity and wisdom I Ile is a Peer of
Purl iarnent,with strong aristocratic connexions,
and therefore is to be whitewashed. /fo Is in
competent—but will net be recalled I
The unsupported eulogies of P ATAW,11.137021 and
oven his whole Cabinet, can weigh nothing, in
public consideration, against the testimony of
India itself against him. There is nothing
more difficult than for a Statesman, in office,
to admit that he made a mistake. The origi
nal organization of the Indian Government,
With the Board of Control in Cannon Itoir,
Westminster ordaining what the East India
Company, in Loadenhall street, shall or shall
not do, may perhaps be blameable, la some re
spects, for many errors of Government in India,
but a Viceroy, with capacity and knowledge of
the world, could got over these, by virtue of
the immense power absolutely vested in him
self. WELLESLEY, BENTINOR, AUCKLAND, AM
HERST, 11.tunnion, and even ELLENCOROVOM,
had occasion to go beyond,instructlen, and
exercise the power of acting as circumstances
not only warranted but demanded. All of
there men had capacity and judgment, and ex
ercised thorn wisely. But Lord CANNING, With
nothing to recommend him, save the prestige
of a great name and the advantage of being
connected with the aristocracy—Lord CAN
NM, who had boon a member of various
Whig Administrations, ftom an early age, and
showed incompetency in every office which he
filled—was sent to idea, with greater powers
than even Queen VICTORIA. can exercise in
England, not because lie was fit for the office,
but beams° the vast emoluments were needed
by him to raise him out of the inconvenience
of being a pauper peer.
Bed•tapelam at Calcutta is so ualvorsall9
condemned by all who are not interested In
maintaining such a sYetem there, that the Go
vernment of England 'cannier defend It, when
subjected to the test of Parlitimentaty investi
gation. If the GOvernmentntal Parliament of
England show
,themselves indifferent to the
strongly-expressed and stronglifourided re
monstrances and complaints of (I the Christian
'inhabitants of Calcutta and the Presidency of
Bengal,'? then may It, surely. he declares' that

than any sovereign. : who.,•,eyer sat • upon the
;British throne, but than dare be wielded, at
this,moment, by the most arbitrary monarch
In EttiOliti."Cf &Ville, Lord CANNING, thus e
phatically accused, is thititioa to fair play; to a
fair trial. What may be expected, however,
IS that; no matter how much of the bill of in
ilictmentbo proved to the satisfaction, or rather
to the dissatisfaCtion, • of India and England,
I family connexion and oligarchical principles
will successfitliy combine to retain Lord CAN
,NINO hi office. That Is what may be
Bated, and that could never occur in any com

CORRESPONDENCE.

Clortespoadeeeeof The Press ]
SZDASTOPOL, Spptonber 8,1857
It may please you to know the prices of
things here. First of all as to money. A
ruble Is °etiolated at eighty cents, but really
worth no more than Bounty-five of our 'United
States money.: There aro ono hundred ko
pecks in a ruble, each of about the valuo of
three-fourths of a cent.
Tho fruit is i ttiad bas boon, very plentiful in
this part of the Crimea. There was a smart
&oat, a week since, at Bakinter', a Tartar set
tlement, some twenty versts (or twenty-four
United States miles) distant, ftom which
nine-tenths of the fruit comes.
An ochre (8 lbs.) of apples cost 16 kopocks.
A Russian pound weight is 12 of our ounces..
Pears, 2 to 8 kopecks per pound ; plums, 1.1
do ; water-melons, 2 to 10 kopecks each ;
melons, 2 to 3, and very fine from 3 to 4 ko
pecks; peaches, 3 to 10 porfunk ; apricots,
4to 8 kopecks per pound. Potatoes are 90
kopocks per pood—equal to 40 Russian pounds,
or three-fourths of a cent for three-fourths of
a pound. Beef and mutton, the only meat on
sale hero, runs thus: beef 6, and mutton 8
kopocks a pound. Butter is so scarce that I
have seen only a firkin of it since I came hero,
and that almost too bad to grease the axles of
a wheel-barrow. For this abominable stuff they
asked 30 kopecks per pound. Wo use none.
Molasses and oil are not to be had. Goats
milk cheese, 30 kopecks per pound. For milk
we pay 10 kopocks for a pint and a half.
We use white sugar, as there is no brown in
Sebastopol, and pay thirty kopecks a pound.
We also have tomatoes, cucumbers, onions,
cabbages; and radishes, all very cheap. The
corn was scarce, and, so poor as not to bo worth

and fine. It sells Tor thirty rubles per barrel
of ono hundred and seventy United States
pounds. A Russian baker supplies us with all
wo consume, whioh is a good deal.
As to the,inhabitants of Sebastopol—ellrst of
all name the fleas. If they only knew their
'strength and would unite, I fan sure they could
pull a man light out of bed I
This place agrees with our bodily health well
enough, but almost every ono is disappointed
in finding that the representations used to
persuade him to join this ship-raising expedi
tion are pot borne out by facts.
You teak about nay buying sable furs in Se
bastopol. A set would cost much more than
you need pay In Philadelphia. This is not the
section of country to get thorn in. To get
them, a man must be up at St. Petersburg.
As for buying them for a bottle of whiskey, as
you innocently imagine, that is all bosh—as
they Kayla Turkey. Whiskey (or Vodki) is as
plenty here as in the United States, and much
cheaper. • A Russian here can get reeling
drunk for seven kopecks—or less than live
cents—the price of a quart, fell measure. The
'Rini:eland are dreadfully loving, under the in
fluenee of native wine and vodkl. A pint bet
%Witt win coats ton kopecks. There is but
little punishment here for being drunk—es
peelally on holidays, of which they have a
great many.
The Russian chihmicks, (or laborers,) sol
diers, and sailors live chiefly on black bread,
thin broth or soup, and water melons, when
they can procure them. Each of our laborers
pays ten kopecks a day to a government offi
cial, and receives seventy kopecks for his
work.
Sebastopol is inundated with police offi
cers, (rnidzaratits,) who make night hideous
with their confounded pounding of iron canes
on the pavement.
The Russians are great swimmers, going
into the water two or three times a clay, if
they can get the chance. Men, women, and
children swim indiscriminately together, as a
matter of course and custom. An apparently
reapectableß ussian woman, entirely undressed,
wont into the bath with sonic of us a low da
ago, and took no morn notico of us than
it pro warn ao many posts. Nor we of tier, for
the matter of that—'cause we aro used to it
now.
As the steamer did not arrive until this
evening, Major C— has been detained, but
goes in tho morning to Odessa, and thence to
the United States, vie London. That is, if
the Russians will permit him, for they do
twined another gentleman there, and will not
let hint leave, without the remonstrance and
interference of Colonel CT—, who also sails
or steams) in the morning, to rectify mat
ers—if ho can. It was Col. G; who made
he ship-raising contract with tho Russians.
In connection with this point, I pray you to
got for too,
from 'Washington, my Protection
papers. It is impossible to travel in this coun
try without them. You know me well enough,
I think, and can give such a particular de
scription as will ll my identity and per
sonality.
I should also desire to have, but much doubt
whether you can procure it in Philadelphia,
(except, perhaps, at John Campbell's book
stand by the Custom house,) an English or
Russian Dictionary, or a phrase-book of both
languages. Such books I know to be pub
lished in England, for I have seen them in the
hands of a Russian here. J. Campbell, (to
whom my best regards) has nil sorts of odd
books, being rather an odd man with an even
temper, and may have U. dictionary or pltrase
book.
Other wants aro good tobacco, flannels, stocl

very bad.
You may complain of ray handwriting, but
your own would not be better, if, like me, you
had your hands bandaged with muttou , suet
and rags every night. My hands aro so cut up
by the muscles, which cling to every thing
under salt water, hero, in the harbor, where
they aro innumerable, especially about the
wrecks. Woo betide the diver, how he handles
any thing below I
The muscles have a copperish taste, but are
good eating when roasted. I have seen a few
oysters when I have been below. They are
small. I brought up some in the pockets of
toy chafing dress. I was down to-day for

The Dardanelles is completely studded with

to be over ono hundred years old, and attained its

TUCRERMAN, nix MAIL ROBBER.
Forth:Moro of Mo Arrest--Sharp Practice.
The Now Haven Register gives full particulars
of tho detection and arrest of William 8. Took
erman:
A most important arrest took place in this city on
Sunday evening, for extensive mail robberies com
mitted within a few weeks past. These robberies
embraced the entire letter-mail on several =ea.
eons, made up at Philadelphia, New Orleans, and
other points, for Donor], at least one mail from
Boston for New York, and several others of leas
importance. The officers of the Post MB= Depart ,
went, it =ono, have been secretly on the alert to
ascertain where and by whom these alarming de
predations were committed, the management of
the ease having been placed in the hands of Mr.
Holbrook, one of the most experienced special
agents. It soon appeared that the missing mails
were chiefly those which would go by the railroad
route between New York and Beaton, on the Sun
day night trains. After a good deal of watching
and careful investigation, it was believed that
Springfield was one of the points selected by the
robber for hie bold operations, but it was not until
Sunday night, the 22d alt., that any disooreries
were made at that locality.
The trains from New York and Boston meet
there, and it was observed that the mall-oar from
New York was sometimes left for a few moments
without lights or fastenings. On the night in
question, Mr. Holbrook and Mr. Clark, of the
New York poet office, were en the train, in die
guise, on Its arrival at Springfield, and just as the
lights were withdrawn from the baggage or mail
oar, took up their petition therein, near the mails,
and Toady for any emergency, naturally supposing
that the robber, his decide being evil, preferred
darkness rather than light. A iterenent'n ensPonser
and footatepe . were hoard near the oar and upon
the platform. In an Instant the door opened, and
the expected visitor entered and instantly struck
a notch, ostensibly with which to light a cigar,
already "in position," but really no doubt to see if
all was right. During the momentary light from
the aforesaid matele! It was ditlicult to determine
which had the advantage, Uncle Sam's men er the
limiter match adventurer; but, believing that
the latter would have the best of it, unless
something was done speedily, Holbrook, (in-
tending to pass himself stud companion off as
bona
,fide passengers, but stepping into the bag
gage car for a smoke,") 000lly lays to his Midst
ant. Torn, wheee's that good cigar you offered
rue !" To which " Tom" Immediately responded
by handing out the cigar. Before oven this was
accomplished, the match bad done its wont on
both aides. the watchers and the stabbed. "Glee
me a light, if you plume," says Holbrook to the
supposed mailrobber, whereupon the favor was in
stantly granted, and both were smoking away,
thuiefar equally in the dark ! PriteenUy the train
began to move and the stranger moved too, jump
ing off while it wee in motion. To carry out the
idea of being ordinary passengers, the net of the
company, joined hp Mr. Chapin; postmaster of
Springfield, had to continue on the train, believing
that the object of the robber bad been thwarted for
that night, at least, if indeed he bad not been per
manently alarmed. Not so, however, for the New
Yerk letter-pouch from Boston was abstracted that
night, while the vigilant ofileent were going Rut
towards Boston.
Fully satisfied from this discovery that the em
ployees of the railroad companies were in no way
implicated, more rapid progress could now be safely
made in ascertaining who this stranger could be,
when, on comparing notes, the dosoription answered
well to that of a person who had frequently passed
over the route, endeavoring, with too much sue
erns, to secure the confidence and favor of the con
duotor and baggage•men, particularly those on the
Sunday night trains. No intopholon has arisen,
however, as of cow= the loss of the mails were nn
known to them, and yet it now appears his fee- ,
quentpassage and unusual familiarity had been
made the subject of eoree conversation. Farther
exertions resulted in ascertaining the name and
locality of this agreeable traveller, and a olose
watch was set upon all his movements; and every
preparation taken for his detection if he repeated
his robberies.
Just. before the train left Now York on last Sun
day evening, he arrived at the depot, in Twenty
seventh street, but the special agent had arrived
before him, and taken a position in the baggage or
mail•ear, where he could both hear and see, with•
outbeing seen or heard. On this occasion, as had
often happened before, the baggage of the sus
pected party consisted of a large trunk, which he
declined to have marked for any partionlar point,
saying, that if he met a gentleman at Springfield,
whore the trains meet, he should return to New
York that night. "All right," says the baggage
toaster, and the aforesaid trunk was placed by
itself, where it could readily be controlted by the
final decision of its owner.
Before reaching Stamford, he again appeared in
the baggage-car, where he was purposely left
alone for a few moments, while " wooding-up,"
and the opportunity was improved by transferring
the Now Orleans mail-pouch front its proper plane,
to the trunk of uncertain destination. Becoming
subsequently alarmed at an unguarded, yet tri
vial movement of the concluder, and being left
alone for a moment, while the handa were
" breaking up, ' ho as dexterously removed the
deposits frets the trunk back to their former posi
tion.
The rester the sjOry once be told ins few words.
At the depot in this city, Mr. Meanie cut from his
close quarters, and at once arrested William 8.
Tuckerman as the author of all these bold mail
robberies, Upon his person, and In his valise,
were found the most overwhelming evidences that
no mistake had boon mode in the man, and he wee
soon atter committed to jail.
The trunk referred to, and its fixtures, bear the
strongest proofs of having been prepared for the
illegal purposes to which it was put on this occa
sion, having a peculiar lock, to admit of its being
opened without the slightest inconvenience, or
noise of a key, and the valise which was found in
side, containing heavy iron weights, lest the light
ness of the trunk at ono point, and heaviness at
the other, after receiving the mails, should attract
attention and lead to suspicion.
Ills uniform and gentlemanly deportment, and
very respootable appearance, had prevented any
suspicions among the hands, as to the object of his
unusual civilities and familiarity—and his fond
ness fur smoking, and liberal distribution of the best
quality of cigars, had furnished the pretext and
paved the way for often riding in the baggage car,
It is hoped that the lesson taught in this instance,
or ,i, rick eon imprepriety of allowing outsiders
in the ears provided for mails and baggage, will
not be lost upon the managers and omployeesjof
New England and other railroads.
The prisoner was informally brought before
United States Commissioner C R. Ingersoll yes
terday, and his bail fixed at $20,000. His examine
time has not yet taken place,
Tuckerman is about 35 years of age, and he was
formerly treasurer of the Boston and Maine rail
road Company. SIo has an estimable wife residing
in New York.
The McKeesport Tragedy
[From the Pittsburgh Union of Wednesday I
Since the confession of Henry Fife and Charlotte
Jones, the public mind has been agitated to is groat
degree, and with a great many persons the truth or
falsity of Fife's statement seemed to turn upon one
point—the recovery of the bloody treasure. Jailor
Phillips, to whom the confession was made, was
told by Fife whore the paper money had boon so•
oroted, and also whore the gold and silver were de
posited. As we have already stated, both Henry
Fife and Charlotte Jones exonerate Stewart from
all complicity in the murder. We aro not certain,
but infer that the biding of the money was un
known to Any person save Fife himself.
lie stated that the paper money, amounting, as
110 supposed from a hasty counting, to about fifty
dollars, was secreted in Wolff 's stable, between a
flooring board in the haymow and one of the joists;
that he catered the stable, in which wore three
stair, and climbing upon the monger, in the mid
dle stall, he raised one of the boards from the joist
by pressing against it with bighead; that he then
shoved the paper money in on top of the joist, and
when the pressure wee removed the weight of the
bay in the crow forced the board down tightly upon
the money.
lle further stated that he had two small bags of
gold and silver. Tho largest bag, he thought,
from a hasty glance, contained twenty dollar gold
pieces, and the other silver half dollars. These
he hid about daybreak, on the morning of the
murder, on the M'Keesport bank of the 'Youghio
gheny river, a short distance above Mrs. Alexan
der's tavern, which stands at the junction of the
two rivers. lie could not tell the exact spot,
within two or three hundred feet, us ho had two
hours after tried to find it himself, but could not.
Ire did not make particular search, as it was then
daylight, and lie was afraid of being seen. The
bank was quite steep, and by throwing his whole
oeight, epos one heel, by jumping forward, he
made a hole in the sort earth, which was despoil
by further efforts with his feet. lie then took out
the bags, placed them in the cavity, and covered
tbem up.
Yesterday morning, Jailor Phillips, John M.
Irwin, ail.. Win. M. Hartzell, of the Dispatch,
and a son of thejaifor, left this city in the 6.30
A. M. train for McKeesport. On their arrival
there they wore besieged by a largo crowd of
curious and anxious citizens, who seemed to un
derstand the object of the visitors. The party in
quired for the residence of Capt. Ilendriakson,
and were followed thither by a large and con
stantly increasing crowd. They loft there in
company with the Captain, and proceeded to
Watff's tavern. Here they were joined by the bar
keeper, who conducted them to the stable. Mr.
Phillips mounted the manger in the middle stall,
and raised the board ft-mono of the joists Thorn
was no money found, anti the crowd began to show
signs of incredulity. • Another joist was searched
ith the Same ill success, and the spectators ridi
culed the seekers. The board was then raised
from the third and last joist above the stall, and
lo! /1 tightly compressed roll of paper was drawn
forth. Astonishment now took the place of ridi
cule, and all were fully satisfied by an exhibition
of the bills. There were thirty dollars in all,
twenty of which were on the State Stock Bank
of Indiana, and of course worthless. The other
ten were counterfeit. Two of the lives hail die
tinot marks of blood upon thorn.
The party then proceeded to the bank of the
"rough" river, to search for the gold and silver.
The day was moderato, and the previous rains had
made the ground quito soft. By this time about
one-half of the population of M'Keesport had con
gregated upon the spot, and a largo number volun
teered to dig for the hidden treasure. After dig
ging with the vigor of Californians for some two
hours, and going over the supposed limit without
success, the search was abandoned by the jailor and
his party, although a number still Continued to
turn up the earth. Should they succeed in finding
the monoy, it will be put into safe hands and de•
livered to the proper rierson. The party took
the afternoon boat, and reached the city before
evening.
At no ono point of time In the development of
this terrible tragedy, had there been more °suite
meet in M'Keesport, if we except the scenes con
nected with the arrest of the parties. The finding
of the paper money has, in one point. undoubtedly
corroborated the confession of henry Fife. The
people of M'Keesport, with ono accord, deemed
Stewart guilty until yesterday, and the majority
of them still adhere to that opinion. The finding
of the money, however, has wrought a change in
public eentlmont.

CITY POLICE.—DECKSIDER
(Reported for The Press.]
Titer I.7zicemor Nose.--lileorge Frederick Chil
ton, a very handsomely dressed young gentleman,
with auburn whiskers and moustache of the same
color, complained that Simon Bolivar Ruddiman
had pulled his nose in the piazza of a fashionable
hotel, where both of these youngsters have fixed
their abode. Chilton, the proprietor of the in
jured DON, is a very tall person, and Ruddiman,
the nose-puller, is a very short one; SO that it is
difficult to conceive bow the latter could perpe
trate the outrage without the help of a atop-lad
der, or serge Each convenience. The story told
by Mr. Chilton, the sufferer, was so extremely
affecting that the whole auditory seemed to melt
at the recital.
"Your Honor may observe (said ho) that my
nose has an unhealthy appearance; in fact, it is
much swollen and inflamed, and I have some rea
son to fear that it will be permanently diseased.
All these unpleasant effects, sir, have been caused
by the violent conduct of my fellow-boarders.
Nose-pulling appears to bo a sort of amnia, or
moral epidemic, at our hotel ; every man who
stops there becomes infected, as, I should judge,
with an unconquerable desire to execute the feat—
and my nose is constantly .=elected as the most
suitable subject for the experiment. I dare say.
your Honor would be puzzled were you to attempt
to guess how many times this nose has been pulled
within the last three months."
"It is impossible for me to make any such calcu
lation, Mr. Chilton," said the magistrate.
'•Of course, sir, you can form no idea of the in
credible number of times this not has been se
'voted. I hesitate to mention the figure, fur fear
you might find it difficult to believe, though my
veracity has never been impeached, and I urn not
at all given to boasting. I am pretty sure, how
ever, that no door-bell in our street has been tug.
god oftener, during the autumn of 1857, than this
unfortunate feature."
"What can you do to provoke 00 many 113
Saglti ?" asked tho magistrate.
That is the strangest part of the business,'
answered Chilton. "I am always giving offence
without meaning it—one of the boarders charges
me with winking at his wife, or Lis sister, and
pulls my 11080 on that score ; another tweaks my
nose because I do not pay proper attentions to his
female relations; a third pulls, because I offer to
stand Er treat; and a fourth, because I neglect to
make the sameoffer; in short. they aro never at a
loss for one pretence or another. This gentleman,
(pointing to Ituddiumn,) pulled my nose because I
peeped over his head into a looking-glass, at which
he was adjusting his shirt collar. Lie head was so
much below the level of my own, that I actually
did not observe him until I felt the pressure of his
finger and thumb. Now, sir, (continued Mr. Chil
ton,) if the law cannot protect my nose, I shall
have to enoloso it in a ease of shagreen or japan.
nod tin, as a safeguard against ill-treatment
lam not such a milk-sop uto mind a small incon
venience, and an occasional tweak, if managed
with any degree of tenderness and delicacy, might
be passed over as a trifle. But the rough style In
which our boarders perform the operation, and the
way they overdo the thing, by constant repe
tition, is rather more, I think, than any man of
honor and spirit can be expected to put up with."
The magistrate seemed to think so too, and there
fore took all the necessary measures for the pro
tection of Mr. C's nose in time to oome. Thu - last
aggressor, Ruddiman, was bound over to answer for
