THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1868.
The latest European papers inform us that
Spain does not want to Ewell herself of'any
co-national and friendly interference to settlo
her. dispUte with Mexico. Considering the
state of the natiOnal finances of Spain, this is
saucy work, and Queen IsAnal, may yet wear a
sombre look, elMuld her expedition end in de
feat.
The condition of Spain, at this crisis, is
what no friend of peace, morality,.and liberty
can contemplate without regret. One of the
finest countries in Europe, tie& in natural pro
ductions, favored with a .beautiful climate,
fortunate in the teeming fertility of her soil,
and'inhabited by a race of men capable of
being raised to happiness by mason of their
natural nobility of character, this country has
sunk into well-merited contempt among, the
nations, simply because for the last fifty Years
it has been badly governed.
„ 808,010 00
Stange - that whore Nature Idved to trasoi
As if•for gods, a &telling Ono,
-There Idan,,enathored of diotress,
Should par it into wilderness!"
The evils under which Spain so grievously
suffers are not of recent origin' or growth.
They commenced in the last century, under
the imbecile King, C k uxur,es IV, and his infa
mous wife, who raised MANUEL GODOY from
the lowest condition to the rank of Prince of
the Peace. This unprincipled man, ambitious
and unscrupulous, was for many years the
virtual ruler of Spain. It was part of his
system to bring up the heir to the crown (tile
MO FERDINAND VII) in a Math Of ignorance,
to surround him with profligates, to render
him unfit to govern. The vicious example of
the Queen, coupled with her undisguised and
unmitigated hatred of FERDINAND, which ex
hibited itself in open persecution and con
tempt, naturally tended to destroy all of
good (and the quantity was sinall) which his
mind possessed. But his situation eXcited
deep sympathy in the heart of the Spanish
nation, already shocked by the misconduct of
his infamous mother, and irritated by the mis
government of GODOY.
The invasion of the Peninsula by NAPOLEON,
the overthrow of the Bourbon dynasty in
Spain, the, imprisonment• of the Royal family,
the usurpation of the Spanish Crown, nomi
nally by JOSEPH BONAPARTE, but actually by
NAPOLEON, were either directly caused by the
intrigues and treachery of Goner, or sprung
out of them. A long contest entitled (from
1808 to 1814), which ended'in the restoration
of the deposed princes, and the Prince of the
Asturias ascended the throne of Spain, as
FERDINAND Va . . Never had man a better
opportunity for re - generating a State. But,
from 1814 to 1820, his entire career was to
elevate the thisne at the expense of the peo
ple. He perpetuated and multiplied abuses
instead of reforming and removing them, He
was a cold-blooded tyrant, capricious, cruel,
and ungrateful. The blood of the best men
of Spain was plentifully shed upon an igno
minious scaffold—their crime being that they
loved their country.
At last the public mind revolted against the
tyranny. A sudden revolution, in 1820, ended
in FERDINAND'S adoption of the Constitution,
which prondsed to allow political rights to the
people. On the very day when FERDINAND
solemnly mare to, stand by this Constitution,
ho secretly sent to Louis XVIII, at Paris, a
protest against the acts Whichhe executed in
penile. From that hour' until' his death, in
1838; every act of FERDINAND'S tended to the.,
recovery, f his pouter as an obsolete klhg. In
this he was assisted by Russian gold and French
bayonets., The result was as he desired. Ile
was an autocrat indeed. Dearly was this power
purchased, by the massacre or exile of the
most enlightened Spaniards, the desolation of
the towns and villages in the unhappy king
dom, the destruction of her internal and foreign
trade, the total loss of her transatlantic colo
nies, and her degradation, in the scale of Eu
rope, from a first-rate to a fourth-rate Power.
At his death in 1831, he bequeathed a civil
war to Spain. On the birth of a princess, in
1830, ho issued a decree repealing the Banque
law, and rendering the crown hereditary in the
female line, in default of male heirs. Hence
arose the contest between Don Cantn, next
brother to FERDINAND, and Queen CHRISTINA,
appointed Regent during the minority of her
Infant daughter. After a struggle, protracted
during several years, the Carlists were annihi
lated, as a party, and ISABELLA was acknow
ledged as Queen de facto. The evil example
of her mother must have bad the very worst
influence on the young Queen's mind. The
intrigues of LOUIS PHILIPPE, touching what
aro sailed w The Spanish marriages," had the
effect of increasing the young Queen's natu
ral profligacy. Wedded to a creature alike
defective in mind and person—she plunged
into all varieties of vice, until her name be
came a by-word of scorn throughout Europe.
Leaving public affairs in the hands of cor
rupt men, and only interfering where caprice
dictates, this queen has hitherto shown no re
gard for the national interests. Provided that
she had money to fling away in extravagance
after extravagance, and to bestow upon her
numerous lovers, she cared for little else.
ESPARTERO, an honest minister whom she had
exiled in 1843, she was compelled to recall' in
1854. He is understood to have bad a strong
leaning for such a Government as the United
States prosper under. But a sense of personal
w loyalty" forbade him to make such a change.
Ono great thing he did—he banished the
Queen Dowager. To have put her upon trial
before the Cortes, or any other tribunal, would
have involved an immensity of trouble,
suspense, anti probable disaatisfaction.—
The principal charges against her did
not amount to what would authorize capi
tal punishment, In the event of her convic
tion. They had bean resolved, for the most
part, into one groat accusation of embezzle
went, and of having obtained vast sums from
the toddle treasury of Spain, under false pre
tences. As Regent of the Kingdom, from
the death of her husband, FERDINAND VII, in
1888, until BSPARTERO replaced her, (during
the minority of her daughter,) CHRISTINA
bad vast sums of public money under her con.
trol, out of which, there is no doubt, she made
very extensive w pickings." She was mar
ried to Mum several years before she avowed
it, and was content to be pointed out by the
finger of scorn, as his paramour, rather than,
by declaring her marriage, forfeit the large
jointure of $175,000 per annum, to which she
was entitled as widow of the late King. The
whole amount of her illegal appropria.
tions has been estimated at no less than
$13,500,000.
This is a vast sum—probably more than the
Queen Dowager possibly could refund, fei s tier
expenditure, during the last twenty-one years,
has been great. Still, a considerable por
tion of it is believed to have been invested in
good securities of England, Franco, and Hol
land. Within the last half century, Monarchy
has been so insecure in Europe, that the dif
ferent Sovereigns have usually prepared
for w a ' rainy day," by making pecuniary
investments out of the countries which
I they govern or misgovern. Even the CZAR,
until lately, had $50,000,000 in the
State securities of French .and England,
(withdrawn not long ago, when his mili
tary plans and movements caused a require
ment for money ;) Lotus PHILIPPE had the
precaution to provide for his family by in
vestments in this country as well as in Eng
land; LEOPOLD, of Belgium, has taken the
seine precaution; and Queen VieroniA7sald 1
to be haunted by a foreboding that the British
Monarchy will come to delose before her own
life terminates—ls very greatly belied by pub.
lie rimer, if she also has net provided against
a possible future of private life, by Invest
ments In the United States and elsewhere. '

trial, and even convicted; the utmost power of

of Malta. The beautiful speech of Mr. pop.

The bill puled the committee of the wholc'and.
being on mooed reading,
Mr. BELL called for some information in trilifard'
to the object and character of the bill..
iltr. COFFEY said—
'The Senator from Chester has requested sin isx
plans tion'of the charac'er and purposes of tho-in
stitution which this bill proposes to incorporate.
These aro fully indicated in the second section in
these words: "'rho object and design of eat; cor

of moneys for works of charity. the relief of the
por and unfortunate of the Commorivrealth,'wtth

proper and to encourage the feeble and iriexpe
rimmed to persevere in the paths of rectitude and
virtue:"
I might content myself with this extract Eton
tho bill, affording as It does so full and clear it:de
claration of the generous and beneficent objdOlit
of this organization, but I will he pardonidlor
illustrating still Further these objects by a brief
reference to its past history and to some of Its pre.
sent peculiarities.
The Order of the Eons of Malta is a lineal*.
ecendant of that order of knights founded Abut
the middle of the eleventh century, which, under
the name, first, of the Knights of St. John, after
wards Knights of Rhodes, and lastly Knights of
Matte, formed so distinguished a part of the
chivalry of Christendom. They were originally
a peaceful fraternity of hospitallers in Jam ,
salmi, established, ns the name indicate - it, far.
the purpose of ministering to the wards of the
pious pilgrims who visited the Holy Laud. In
the twelfth century religious real prompted them
to take up arms in defence of the faith, end for
many years Christianity found in their berets oeu.
rage and mighty skill its chief bulwark. Rivalling
the military achievements of the Tempters, they
avoided the licentiousness and arrogance which . .
marked that haughty order, and blended with the
clash of arms who gentle ministrations of charity
and peace. Driven at last from their early. home
, by the conquering infidel, they settled for awhile
upon the Island of Rhodes, and in the sixteenth
century took up their residence in the Island of
Malta, where for two eenturies they stood sentinffi
upon the outposts of Christendom, and held at bay
the Turkish power. - , ,
But the ago of chivairy Is gene, and - OW "newo

Om mighty heroes of the sword-sordaromort.-ebretre`
They gradually spread over Europe, and although
their military occupation had ceased, they yet re.
mined in their now and scattered homes tho ice•
pressivo rites and solemn ceremonies by which
were inculcated and enforced tho pious oblige
tines of charity and love. Prom these have sprung
the order which asks of you to-day the Malls a a
mere efficient organisation. No longer assuming
to ho the defenders of Christianity on the field of
battle, they claim only to be the sons of that illus
trious order of knighthood which gave to Malta
such undying fame. Discarding the soldier, and
rejecting too the sootarian features of the parent
stock, they have returned to the simple rule of
duty which inspired the founders, la the year of
grace 1048, to establish n hospital in Jerusalem,
ter the relief of sick and destitute pilgrims.
With silent zeal and patient energy, the Sons of
Malta pursue this high vocation. Seeking out
misery wherever it may be found, they extend a
timely and effective relief. In the true spirit of
charity they do good by stealth, and no eye bat
the initiated can see where the secret benefaction
falls. The world knows the results but not the
process, and the nil sterious minister of mercy, ea
he feeds the hungry and clothes the naked, asks
no reward but the sweet luxury of doing good.
There is another feature of their organization
which should not be overlooked. All other bene
ficial association!, I believe, are founded upon the
principle of mutual aid. heir primary object is
to benefit and help their respective members. But
it is a fundamental principle of the organization
of the Sons of Malta that no member of the order
shall receive its pecuniary aid. Ile gives, but he
takes not—he is the minister, but not the subject
of its charities—he lives in the order all for others
and nought for himself. Surely no society founded
by snore human ageneies has ever so fully appre
ciated the divine idea of that charity which cover
eth a multitude of sins.
Besides its work of pecuniary benevolence, this
Order seeks, through its teaching s and example,
to " encourage the feeble and Inexperienced to
persevere in the paths of rectitude and virtue."
This is, perhaps, its highest function. By its lee
sons of wisdom, its solemn ritual, its searching
examinations, its happy adaptation to the higher
intellectual and moral faculties, and its tendency
to excite seif-examinatien amongst its members,
the Order of Malta seems formed to bo the hand
maid of virtue. Nor does it chill the soul with
frigid forme or gloomy images. It is not only lin
prersive but genial, combining the instruction
with the attraction of humor and wit in their high
est sphere.
I have said enough, and I will close with the
prediction that this institution is destined to a
proud place amon the civilizing forces of the
!Igo, and as mot in the progress of the race
invoice the aid of more elevated and refining
in
dilenom,the character and purposes of the Order
of the Sons of Malta will bo fully realized and
valued—

Mr. BELL said that perhaps ho owed the Senator
an apology for calling upon bite, and expressed
himself satisfied with the explanation. Re had
not boon a-ware of the existonce of such a society.
Reapproved of its objects, but ho was not altugoth

Opening of the Lebanon Valley Railroad.
(From tho Reading Gazette.]
The first through passenger train for Ilarrisburg,
on the Lebanon Valley Railroad, left tho Reading
Railroad depot yesterday morning at 0 o'clock, 15
minutes. It consisted of ten passenger ears and
ono baggage car, drawn by tho powerful locomotive
"Humming Bird," which was gaily decorated with
flags and wreaths of flowers, in honor of the in.
teresting and important event Ono half of the care
wore filled with excursionists from the city, bound
for the Stateoapital, to attend the inauguration
of Gov. Packer. Among the passengers were Gen.
Wm. It Heim, Tins. Young and Swartz, of Reading,
and Dr. Rood, of Norristown ; and the Reading Rifle
Company, Capt. E. S. Boas, accompanied by the
City Band. The remainder of the cars wore
filled up at the different stations along the line.
The Lebanon Artillery, Capt. Embioh, wore added
' to the number of passengers, at Lebanon. A spe
-0141 telegraphic despatch informs as that the train
passed, over the road without . the slightest deten
tion or 'weeident, and reached the Harrisburg de
pot at the appointed time-12.20 noon.
Ile appearance was greeted with the loud human
of a largo crowd which had assembled to witness
the arrival of the first railroad train from
Reading.
The regular passenger train which loft this city
at ton minutes past ton o'clock yesterday morning,
also took up a largo number 'of our citizens, to
attend the inauguration ceremonies.
A largo meeting was held at the Red River
Battlement last month, lb° proceedings of which
wo find In the Toronto Globe. A MOM of mobs
tiono was missed, demanding the withdrawal of the
Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly; annexation
of the whole country to Canada, with a represent
ativo form of government; and exposing sundry
misrepresentations made by the company to the
Ilon)e Government. A gloomy picture of the Con
dition of the country to preoonted by a corre
(mordent of The Globe, Ito says : " The most
gloomy forebodings for the future hang over the
settlement, while the want of many of the noose
earies of life, such as soap and candles, not to
spank of luxuries, such no sugars, winos, and
spirits, Makes everybody discontented, and still
more disgusted with the company, as those things
wore left at York factory, to make room for the
troops, whose room i 3 better than their company,
and no doubt the company will find It so soon."

James 0. Clarke, Esq, chairman of the
County Committee, was called on to preside, and
a Dunlklor of vieelweridents and secretaries were
appointed. -
A committee of thirtoon ems thereupon selected
to prepare resolutions. •
DUring their einem, Mr. Clarke addressed the
meeting in a clear, calm, and logical exerninaVon
and dismission of the Kansas difficulty, the position
of tho party, the principles Involved, and the duty
of the people.
The Committee on Remlotions, by their chair
man, William A. Stokes, Esq., reported the follow
ing, which were unanimously adopted 7
The Dem&rnoy of Westmoreland county, in
mass meeting :mumbled, do unanimously resolve:
1. That the fundamental basis of American
freedom is the right of the people, without die
tinetion of locality, circumstance or result, to
make the laws under which they live.
2. This great right, assailed during the 19th
Presidential contest, by our opooncnts, was glo
riously vindicated by the election of the Demo.
made cendiaite3. '
3. This victory was supposed to insure to oil,
and ,ospecially the citizens .45f Territories of the
'United _States, the free enemies of sill political
• right. by which to declare, establish, and maintain
each institutions, policy, and measures as a ma

4. Gish independent freedom of the . po' pular will
eari only be attained by a full exorcise of the in
dividual right of the elective franchise, and this,
therefore. is the true teat of the validity of Consti
tutional Government.
5 Wherefore, Congress ehonld admit no State
Into the Union, except with a Constitution ratified
and adopted in all its parts by a majority of all
the citizens to be governed by such Constitution,
which nail fority should be real, not fictitious ; fair,
not fraudulent; direct, not implied; and any
thing short of this, is a mockery, a delusion, and a
more, infamous in net, and disastrous in copse:
Tweet!.
8, To abandon the people of a Territory to poli
tical intrigue, unfair intrusion; or lawless violence,
and than defeat the true expression and absolute
application of the right of self-government, would
be a violation of the honor and abandonment of
the maxims ,of the Demooratie pony, and must
finally result in rupture of the bonds by which the
party is held together, and consequent sacrifice of
alt that mutes the freedom, greatness, and glory
of our country.
7. Resolved, That whilo the radical element of
Democracy, the declaration of the supremacy of the
popular will, in essential to party unity, inasmuch
as it concerns the existence of the Republic, it nev
er has been nor over can be hold that difference of
opinion nn points of policy may not be tolerated in
perfect consistency with the organization of the
Democratic party.
8. Resolved, That we cordially approve the
views of tho President of the United States on ques
tions of foreign relations and the currency of the
country, and-concur in the general eentireents of
the Inaugural address anti the annual message to
Congress. We recognise in Tames Buchanan a
wise and experienced statesman, an honest man
and true patriot. and have full confidence that, if
need be, domestic discord,' ripened into rebellion.
will be erushed with all the fierce of lawful power;
while the rights of the States and the people will
be guarded with jealous care, so that the honor of
his Administration:he preserved untarnished, and
the glory of the Republic be made to shine with
Increased brightness,
0. Resolved, That we look wills assured confidence
to William F. Packer, the honest, experienced,
and able Governor-elect, to reform the abuses of
the State Government, to secure economy in all
branches of the public service, and to vindicate
the interests of the people by the perpetual prac
tical application of the doctrines of the Democratic
party in all the measures of his administration.
10. Resolved, That the honest acd manly course
of the entire Democratic press of this county, in
denouncing Milhaud contemplated in the Locomp
ton Constitution, ar.d in adhering, in regard to
Kama, with inflexible fidelity to the tnto spirit of
the Kansas-Nebraska not and the essential rights
of self-government, meets the warlll approval of
the Demooratio party, whose sentiments they have

DANGERS AND DIFFICULTIES OP AN AMATEUR
CHILD'S NURNE.—Mrs. Catharine MoGlatherty

demanded more, which Kerrigan could not give,
as his stock was exhausted. But Toddy, suspect
ing his entertainer to be actuated by motives of
parsimony, endeavored to givo him a lesson on
the subject, by slyly taking a pegging
awl from the work-bench and sticking it
into the elf of Kerrigan's leg. This was
rather snore than K.'s equanimity could sup
port, and, leaping up, ho soloed a leathern strap
and gave Toddy sense cuts which caused him to
yell like a Comanche. Phallus endeavored to res

Under the beading " The Ilelief of Luckpow" an
article appeared In the leading solemn of this
day's Ledger, Which, if allowed to go unnoticed,
would lead many unsuspecting people to form very
erroneous opinions of the ran! cause of the present
struggle for supremacy in India; as well as make
the Zoglish people entertain the verygroundless
idea, that Anaermans sympathise with them When
they wage a war bf murder, robbery, dethrone
ment, aggression, and confiscation, upon the un
offending people of India, -
Coming from the source it does, this article de
serves more than a planing notice. If you will,
therefore, he so kind; as to grant me a place in
your influential and widely circulated paper, I
Stall attempt to disprove many assertions, and Cor
rea maluzions, which the editor of the Ledeer,
usually well Inforafed, has allowed himself . to
arrive at:
Ite eminences by stating--
• If the &pop' had fought live men, Instead of con
ducting themselves like devils, it would not perhaps
bevebeen difficult for them to have !Inured aid from
thin country td a very considerable extent. 'Surgeons
would hays gone to their sick, and officers in abundance;
nor could It have been difficult to make this struggle
out as a second war of Independence. Hot several
causes have combined, by degrees, to turn the whole
tide of piddle sympathy against the natives, and une
quivocally lee favor of the gallant defenders of Luck
now."
What are the causes that have turned the - whole
tido of-public sympathy against the natives?
Surely, he does not moan to assert that the came
of 150,000,000 of people fighting for their liberty,
their families, their homes, and everythingAtit is
dear to them, deserves to be " stigmatized, or to
lots thb 'sympathy of the world, - because a few
savages intoxicated with success, the phrensy of
religious fanaticism, and the memory of a thou.

fathers, for generations, have committed crimes,
awful and horrible, it is tree, but. certain
ly not more so than the modes of torture we
Sod recorded in the Blue Book of the Houle of
Commons, as heaving been used by the representa
tives of the British Government, to extort taxes,
the moat unjust and odious that the imagination
oak Ooncelie. The history of 'lndia's wrongs is no
longer a sealed book to tha world, and 'wherever
it has been read, it has not failed—for with any
human heart it deal& not,—..to excite the wannest
sympathy far the cause of that,robbed and down
trodden people. In France, m Russia, in Ger
many, In Italy, and in Ireland, the people and the
press have spoken out, denotinotd British usurpa
tion and robbery, and wished success to India.
Even in England itself, there have been found men
of high standing, who in the pulpit, througtl the
press, and men in the halls of the nooses of Lords
and Commons denounced the East India Company
as robbers. and their calamine hideous than !AV ago
ingenuity email invent.. And that, at this state of
tho.proceedinge, an American paper of wane influ
ence which had been hitherto rather silent on the
subject, should cowe out mule° warmly espouse the
cause, of the apparently successful party, and
condemn those whose cause it has once acknow
lcdr,ed to be that of jestice, flannelly exe.ites sus
rioted' that .lov - waling more than a love of jusl ice
and a desire to g,ive its readers the whole truth,
prompted the writing of the article to which I
allude.
" Scenes," says the Ledger, 4' such as those of
Delhi and Cewnporo, may have been emoted, Ina
wen:3llocm so recorded in the whole world's his
tory." The editor of the Ledger would, front
this assertion, seem to have read little. of the
world's history, hutnot only can ho find scenes as
horrible and revolting, but (considering the cir
cumstances under which they were enacted) far
more so, committed by English soldiers, in almost
every spot of earth cursed with British rule.
Who that has read the history of Ireland eon
fail to see that inhumanities and cruelties, before
which Indian munlers ream nought, are recorded
as having been perpetrated by the soldiers of Crom
well on the inhabitants of that 111-fitted land; for
there, too, were men and women and children bru
tally murdered in cold blued, without any cause or
provocation; there were pregnant women ripped
by the pikes of a bloodthirsty English soldiery, open
and their unborn babes flung in the air, to be
caught on the bayonets of demons in human form.
But not to Ireland alone do I look as the theatre
of English butchery. /a the massacre of Menem,
less revolting and awful than that of Cawnpore ?
Were the cruelties perpetrated by English knights
et Cumberland and Bannockburn, where they
stabbed the wounded Highland chiefs lying on the
field of battle,less barbarous than the acts of Sepoy
soldiers
Look to Spa'n, and tell me if the storming and
occupation of Badajos, when an infuriated end
drunken soldiery laid impious hands on all that
woe pure and spotless—when temples were dose
crated—neither ago nor see spared, and ladies of
the highest respectability- and cloister virgins, torn
front the sanctity of their retirement to be violated
first and thou murdered by British soldiers. Does
the editor of the Lerfacr find here anything to
equal the scenes enacted at Cawapore and Delhi?"
But there is, if possible, a worse tole to he told of
English murder worse, fur under the teachings of
Christianity the net was plotted,' end the foul design

session of the islands of Now Zealnud, she met with
an obstinate and succebsful resistance from the
brave savage natives. Equal in numbers, they not
only proved themselves equal, but superior to the
English forces, and the latter were defeated in
every engagement. The missionaries were resorted
to. They wont to preach Christianity to the na
tives; they told them they should rest on the
Lord's day. and that it was wrong to fight: The
natives belies ed, and on the Lord's slay laid down
their arms. The British soldiers then set upon
them, unarmed as they were, and butchered them
in told blood—mon, women, and children. Does
this equal the massacre at Cawnpore ? Ah! it is
a base falsehood to assert, that the world's history
recordk no darker deeds than those committed by
the Sepoye. Those circumstances and deeds to
which I have pointed are more awful still, when
we remember they were enacted by a people who
arrogantly claim to be the standard-bearers of
Christian elviliestion.
But the Ledger aperts that this is " a war
against ourselves " What does the editor mean?
Is he really serious' I can liardly think so, and
from this ono assertion would be half inclined to
think the whole tone of the article ironical. Does
it follow that because there were a few Americans
in India when the rebellion broke out, and because
the natives could not discriminate between an
American and an Englishman, that the Ilindoos
waged war upon the American people? This a. , -
sertion is only cquallid by the absurdity which
pervades the whole article
The writerscems to have sot out with the intention
of eulogising the conduct of Gen Havelock, and did
he confine himself to that, I should be by no means
inclined to find fault with his doingso. But when
he assorts the British army in India is commanded
by men who " exhibit no retaliatory vengeance in
a single edict, even when their troops were hushed
with victory," ho es inces either such an ignorance
of foots, or a desire to pervert them, that - de...ryes
the severest condemnation. Is it not known to all
the world that the edict of "no merry" 1108 been
s ivon, and the command faithfully executed ? Is
It not well known that men were blown in dozens
from the mouths of cannon? Ito not the officers
bout that they hang every native they can get
hold of? The English journals themselves Atte
that no man, woman, or child was saved at Alla
ballad ; and tho very latest account.; state that,
when the head is nut knookod off the victim, it
sinks from view in a pool of human blood How,
then, can the editor of the Ledger tells us that
'• no retaliatory vengeance have the British bol
diers had ?" They have bad all this; and this
murder and butchery, (oh! the English language
has not words sufficiently expressive to convey en
idea of its brutality,) tho Ledger calls " the no
blest deed of bureau. of Christian heroism."
But not all this perversion of facts can blind the
American people to the real nature of the struggle.
Oa the side of India it is the cause of right and
justice—they fight on their own soil. for their own
homes, for their families, for their liberty, and for
their altars. England is there a stranger, a rob.
her, and a murderer, withont soy right of God or
nature. She plunders them, she has plundered
them, and fights to conquer and plunder them
again Who hesitates to sympathize with her
Americans do not. "Till right becomes wrong.

their own struggles for liberty. and remember
England's treachery to subdue them. The voice
of hborty and about of defiance that breaks from

hearts of Americans. who cherish the liberty they

The Icing of DelhD• Mode of Execution
The following has bean communicated to tho
Poona Observer : It appears from a journal of a
European traveller that a new and fearful mode of
execution had boon adopted by the King of Delhi
The instrument and process are thus described A
box, snob side of which is fifteen feet Omar°, is
constructed of timber eighteen inches thick, dove
tailed together, and braced with iron rods. The
outside of the bottom of the box is covered with a
iplate of beaten iron, one inch in thickness. The
nterior is filled with perfect cubes of granite,
weighing in the aggregate several thousand tons.
A machine is erected after the manner of an ordi
nary pile-driver, but of course on an enormous
scale, and of tremendous strength. The
moos is raised by powerful machinery east
in Birmingham for the exprets purpose, though it
is to be presumed that the machinist by whom
it was furnished had no idea of the horrid purpose
for which it was intended. The human victim is
placed upon a block of granite, of a corresponding
sutfaee, buried in the earth immediately beneath
the enormous nines, and cos ored with a plate of
iron. At a signal given by the vicramadaoic the
executioner touches a spring, the mass falls, ar.d
the violin], crushed at once, is suddenly annihi
lated, and spread out like a sheet of pasteboard !
The huge weight being again raised, the flattened
body is withdrawn and dried in the sun. When
completely prepared it is bung over the wall of a
public building, there to servo as a warning to
the multitude.

Public school, building was lactated an the
southwesterly ionic,. of L'opoord said Nary streets,
western distriot of Drool - cirri. 'lt was built 1111553.
•
The fire was first discovered about. 23 o'clock, as
near as can be ascertained. by !dim 11. M Beebe,
a teacher in the primary department, second story,
in a lathed-and-plastered partition wall, through
which pars the tin heaters. It wee undoubtedly
from these beater! that the fire wee communicated'
to the wood-work. Mils Beebe, with great presence
of mind; locked the doer and informed the piaci
pal privately of the fire. In this manner the pre
-1101100 of the fire was made known to all the teachers,
and without creating any unnededsary alartn. Mine
Beebe had sixty small children under her charge,
and after having notified the, pOnoiptsl or the fire
she dineisw , d the thildrenoind they, taking their
clothes and hooks, left the Premises in very good
order and without accident. All the children in
this end of the building escaped without difficulty.
The fire spread with great rapidity toward Navy
street. A few of the children jumped from the win
dows ; only ono of these, however, was injured, and
this one, a boy, bad one of his legs broken. - -
Not many minntes had elapsed after - the first
general alarm before there was a panic among the
scholars in the Navy-street end of the building.
By this time many of tbo boys bad gained the
street,,and had been going out In good order, obe
dient to the orders of the teaehera. But when the
smoke came drifting up the stairway, and it was
noised about what the trouble was, the bop who
wore behind became unmanageable, and rushed to
every direolion to escape—a few to the windows,
but the majority to the . Navy : street stairway: The
great rush was on the stairs immediately leading
to the street. These were filled with small bent ;
the older ones, in their anxiety to escape, nulled
upon them until the whole apace was packed with
children. Of course the little ones were pressed
down under the weight, and here seven boys lost
their lives—not by fire or smoke, but actually
smothered to death.
The teachers acted very creditably, and were the
last to leave the building. A number of the scho
lars also exercised a discretion mesh beyond their
years, and among these we heard the following
named:
Jamas McFall, Smith C. Roof, Jolla 3. Bray, sad
William Mackay. There Ina, at the height of the
panic. endeavored to r cetera artier. and rendered
valuable 1183i8:ance in pulling tho small children
oat of the mass on theatairo. and passing them out
at the windows.
The slum of tiro soon ettpsoted &lax:
crnronttrn
also a large pollee force, under Deputyupo n .-
tendent Folk, promptly on the ground, and every
poseible assistance was rendered.
Officer William H. Brown, of the Pocond precinct,
wagon duty near the building when the first alarm
was given. Ho entered the Navy street door, just
as the stairway became blocked by the scholars,
and alone dragged seven of them out and planed
them out of danger. The last one be got hold of
was the boy PiesS. who was then alive but insensi
ble. Ile took him across to the Park. and placing
him upon one of the seats, despatched a man for a
physician. Dr. Firth, of Gold street, was soon on
the spot and rendered all the aid possible, but it
was of no avail; be died in a very few minutes.
Officer Drown then took the body to the station
home ; it was subsequently identified and taken to
his father's house.
Soon after Plans was taken out, three others were
taken to the office of Dr. Stow, on Nassau Sleet,
two were dead before reaching the office, and tho
third died In a few minutes; the others were
imme
diately identified and taken to their parents.
Miss L. French, one of the teachers, particularly
distinguished hermit: in aiding the children to ea.
cape from the building. It is said that she lower
ed as many as a dozen out of one of the second
story windows.
A boy maned Martin, whose parents reside at the
earner of Stanton and Concord atrects, leaped from
a window in the third story on Concord Street.
Ilia fall was broken by the people under the win
dow, and be escaped wilhoutinjury.
A scholar relates thst a little girlie the Primary
Department was one of the first to discover the fire,
and gave a scream. Before she could direct atten
tion to the cause of her alarm her teacher had her
under subjection, and thus a panic in that room
was prevented.
Frederick Ward, son of a boss in the navy yard,
residing at No. ill Prince street, jumped from a
second-story window on Navy street and was
caught by a policeman, who landed him safely.
There were in all about nine hundred children in
the building, which was calculated to accommo
date twelve hundred. At least five hundred and
fifty attempted to leave the building by the Navy
street door. Many of these were from the other
wing of the building, and they contributed mate
tialty to the excitement.
Die building cost the Board of Education $17,000
in 1853. It was not insured. Many of the school-
books and a great many volumes belonging to the
library eero saved.
During the fire the scene about the building was
truly affecting It was known that many lives bad
been lost, and the number was at one time repwt
ed as high as twenty. Parents who bad children
in the school flocked to the scene, all anxious to
assure themselves of the safety of their little ones.
The majority of the scholars had disappeared, and
many parents were kept in suspense for hours.
The dead were taken away as soon as removed
from the building, and seine time elapsed before
all were identified. The excitement was intense,
and there tens deep sympathy for the sufferers.
Every effort was made to relieve the suspense. In
this work the police behaved nobly.
LATER NEWS VROM KANSAS
The Election—Gen. Calhoun on his way to
%I ashington.
(From the St. Louis Democrat, of the 16th.]
Two gentlemen, of Kansas City, Ido , who
reached this city lest night, having left home on
Ilfonday,the Ilth, inform us that at the time of their
departure, although the returns were scattering
and incomplete, it was the impression that the
Territory had gone for the Lecompten Constitution.
This is very contradictory of the previous reports
concerning the election, and is undoubtedly a mis
take. Our informants state that on Sunday, the
10th, lien. Calhoun procured, at Fort Leavenworth,
an escort of United States troops from Oen. blar
ney, consisting of fifty dragoon& and proceeded to
Lecompton, where he arranged his private affairs
preparatory to his final departure from Remus,
Ile returned the same day to the fort. Re is net
probably in the Territory at this date, and is on
his way to Washington city, where, in all proba
bility, unlike his predecessors entrusted with au
thority in Kansas, he will receive the most unqua
lified approbation of President Buchanan. llis
most infamous conduct in the Territory entitles
him to it.
Calhoun will probably pass through this city
during the first part of the miming week.
Other gentlemen who came down on the ears re
port that the Territory had gone overwhelmingly
against the Leoompton Constitution, and that the
Legislature is largely free State, while the pro
slavery State officers aro all elected.
The first serious Accident, says the lowa
Citizen, that has happened on the M. & M. It., hen
to be recorded this week. Too miles west of Dav
enport. timbers had been collected and piled up
near the track fora new bridge across Duck creek,
whose waters at that point are nearly ten feet
deep The up-train—it is supposed—jostled - the
timbers and threw a heavy stick on the track.
The down train reached the TAM after dark, nt
full speed, and was thrown off the track within
sixty or eighty feet of the bridge. The engineer
seems not to have discovered the obstacle. The
locomotive rushed towards the bridge across the
tics, dashed it to pieces, and plunged into the creek,
dragging the tender upon it, and making a cam
plate wreck of both. The passenger-ear was drag
ged partly over the bank, but Rot a person .inside
was injured. The engineer, (Mr. Morgan,) an ex
cellent rnan,) end the fireman were both killed. The
engineer won covered by the tender and drowned.
He was found at his post, looking almost as natural
as in life. The fireman jumped, but was crashed
by the wheels of the tender.
The Brazilian Government advertises for
proposals for the construction of an immense thea
tre at Rio Janeiro, offering premiums of $lO,OOO,
$4,000, and 2,000 respeotivsly, for the three beat
plans. The proposals MO to he sent in within nine
montlts from the 13th of November last.

The Grave of Patrick Henry.
Until very recently •and the people not only of
Virginia, but of the whole Union, ahould hear it
with chagrin and sorrow—the grave of Patrick
Henry has had no stone to mark its locality, no
monument to invite the eye of pilgrims in search
of that sacred shrine. The Richmond Enquirer,
however, says that at last the pious and patriotic
task has been undertaken, not by the State that
proudly claims the ma'ernity of him whose
dauntless spirit and stirring eloquence awakened
the slumbering spark and fanned the flame of
American freedom—not by the notion that ' , boasts
his name" and kill reaps the reward of his ser
vices, but by the two surviving sons of that fear
less and gifted champion of liberty. The Enquirer
thus describes the tombstone jest placed over the
remains:
It COV9ISIS simply of a solid wall of fine sandstone,
quarried on the place, nine feet ten inches square,
and two feet high, with a superstructure sax feet
Square, twenty-two inches high, with marble slabs
projecting over the sides. On one of the slabs ii
tnscribed : "Patrick Henry. Born May 29th,
rm. Died June 6th. 1799. His fame his best
epitaph." On the other: "Dorothea Dandridge,
wife of Patrick Henry. Born in the year 175.5.
Died February 14th, 1831."
It will thus be seen that his wife sleeps by bit
Bide. In Charlotte county, at Red Hill, the resi
dence of John Henry, Esq., tbe•e sacred relies lie.
Would it not be well for the State of Virginia to
add a single stone, at least, to tie modest monu
ment that marks the grate of Patrick Henry?
