British India.
Financial circumstances appear to bo in a
remarkably bad condition in British India.
The deficit is enormous andincreasing. Every
month the expenditure 1841,250,000 (equal to
about $6,250,000) more than the revenue, and,
reddco the war outlay to the lowest peace out
lay that is safe, and $60,000,000 may be esti
mated as the annual difference, on the debit
sido'of the ledger, between the expenditure
and the disbursements. To meet this new
taxes have been imposed equal to about a
third of the deficit., There is, some talk of a
tobacco tax, which, if it yielded as lunch as is
,expected, might leave $25,000,000 per annum
-yet to be plovlded for.
, It is Suggested that the true way to 'make
English rule safe in India is by giving up the
conquests which are so unreliable and costly—
of taking, in lieu, a quit-rent or tribute which
these provinces, once Kingdoms, would cheer.
fully pay, for imperial protection, and to confine
British /India to the limit.of the three Presi
dencies—Bombay, Madras; and Beng i al. The
two first pay their own expenses, and a little
good management would soon make Bengal
self-supporting also. Above all, Upper fin
dostan should be abandoned, for its military
.and civil. maintenance-1s a 7 onerous to' the
Anglo-Indian resources as was the Old Man
of the Sea to Sindbad the Sailor, whose ad
ventures aro related In the Arabian Nights'
Entertainments. The tribute would certainly
be paid, for
. there is, at every Indian Court,
some rival relative almost as powerflll as the
reigning chief, who would pay the tribute if
his rival flailed to do so, and thus place himself
in a position to rule.
' British India is an overgrown Empire, to
maintain which, in its integrity, would require
an army of 800,000 Europeans, besides satire
troops, at the very lowest estimate. On the
other hand, 80,000. Europeans are Sufficient for
the protection of Madras and Bombay, and
Bengal, which has never been garrisoned,
Gould be maintained with a small force. On
the east, this Presidency has the impasse-
ble wall of the Himalaya; on the west
no Power at all hostile; on the south
the sea; to the north the Vondbya and
the affluents of the Ganges. So small a
force, European and native, as 20,000 men
could safely hold Bengal-against the world.
Of course, Great Britain will object, for pride
sake, to what looks like a surrender of power
and territory. Certainly, it is a giving up of
territory which is now held with great difficulty
and at great expense. There is no true fron
tier to Hindostan. It would require a lap
European army to watch the Sutlej; nnother,
much more numerous, to look after Cade.
The true policy would be to surrender three
unsafe and' unprofitable territories—to give up
Upper Hindoetan, in fact, and cease the at
tempt to maintain British India as an Empire.
which Lord STANLEY'S India Bill of last year
erected it into. The three Presidencies—
Bombay, Madras, and Bengal, uninterruptedly
occupy the whole seaboard of the mid-Indian
Continent. Their opportunities for extended
commerce, especially that Japan has opened
her trade and that China must enlarge hers,
are wonderfully great, and railways and tele
graphs may yet make this part of India won
dertUlly Ilonrfslilng. Bui then, the throe
Presidencies must not be overladen with
heavy taxation to keep Oudo and the Sutlej in
foie. Mr. Butanes plan, last year, was some
thing like this—to divide India into Colonies,
each with local government, under a General
Governor who would be mainly independent
of interference from England or the political
changes in the Ministry at home.
By thelndia Bill of 1856, a Legislative Couti
ell was established in Calcutta. • This body was
intended to be rather advisory of the Governor-
General. Tho moment, (aa Mrs. Joint DREW
says as Dot, when speaking of her baby,) that
this Council began" to feel its feet," it went off
at a tangent, and declared that a Legislative
body should be a Legislature, and forthwith
commenced debating, just as is done in the
House of Commons at 'Westminster or in the
Capitol at Washington. They got up Debates—
as we think they had every right to 40, upon
the proposition to pass an Income Tax—which,
somehow or other, was to be levied on incomes
so low as £7 a year, (yielding exactly one dol
lar upon that income,) yet, as was stated by
the Viee-Presitient, Sir BARNES PIZACOOK,
Chief Justice also, exempted - himself with a
salary of £lO,OOO a year. The Legislative
Council mutinied, and demanded why such an
unjust measure was introducet—rei}med to
consider it unless a clear balance-sheet of
Budgetwere had before the Council,—and de
claimed against the exemption of of salaries
from the tax. The Government had to inter
fere • and command Hie Council to pass the
Bill.
They yielded as to asking for a Budget, bn
placed a tax on all officials, only exempting
them from the visits of the tax-gatherer. As
Incomes as low as $35 a-year are rated, the
multitude will be deadly opposed to the mea
sure. But, if it does not cause an insurrec
tion, it will yield some $20,000,000 per annum
to the Revenue of India. Meantime, the Go
vernor-General, Lord Carizaso, and the Le
gislative Council,-are at issue. He wants to
make them mere puppets, like NarotaoN's
legislature, to carry out his imperial ordi
nances; they, very naturally, protest against
being armed with only nominal power and
made mere registrars of the Government.
So, between debt, deficit, and squabbling in
high ,places, British Government in India, does
not repose upon a bed of 'roses.

is charaeterized,in a manner never attained by any

Adulterated Liquors.
Notwithstanding the long-continued efforts
of temperance societies to prevent the use of
ardent sphits'as a beverage, few can be blind
to the fact that their labors have met with but
partial success. A very largo quantity of 11.
quor is still consumed, and much of what is
sold as liquor" is so villainous a ebmpound
of dangerous drugs that it exerts a terrible,
and in many cases a fatal, influence upon the
unfortunate beings who habitually drink it.
While there Is much diversity of opinion in
regard to the propriety of preventing the sale
of pure liquor, there can be no question of the
terrible evils of the use of the spurious drug
ged imitations of the products of the vintage
and the distillery. It must he confessed, how
ever, that it 'is ditlleult, if not impossible, to
prevent the sale of these poisonous thdds.
There is a law existing in our Commonwelath
prohibiting, under heavy penalties, the sale of
poisened or adulterated liquors, but it is rayy
or never enforced, and it is daily violated with
impunity in every quarter of the State.
A case recently tried in the Court of Com
mon Pleas of Lancaster county, however,
which we find reported in the Lancaster Ex
press, indicates that a method of legal proce
dure exists, which, if generally resorted' to,
may do much to break up the whole system of
manufacturing drugged liquors. The plain
tiffs, who were extensive liquor dealers, sued
the defendant, lilt° is a hotel keeper in Lan
caster, for the recovery of a claim of forty
six dollars, for a barrel of , c old rye whiskey."
The defence was, that the liquordid not cor
respond with the sample by which it was sold,
and in fact that it contained corrosive or poi
sonous substances. The latter point appears
to have been established by chemical tests, to
which the liquor was subjected in the presence
of the court jury, by the counsel for the de
fendant, GEORGE W. Matzo; Esq. His
speech on the occasion produced a powerful
impression upon the jury. After alluding at
length to the manner in which drugged liquors
were manufactured, and drawing a terrible
picture of the victims of mania-a-potu pro
duced by it, lie concluded his speech as fol
lows :
" Gentlemen of the Jury : By your verdict this
day you will decide an important matter. The
country is now flooded with poisoned or adulterated
liquors. They have found their way into every
State, city, town, and village in • the country.
From ovary part of our fair land the cry has gone
forth that the scourge of intemperance is on the
inerease. Our prison statistics exhibit tho melan
choly truth that men, without regard to their
families or their former standing in society, are
dragged within their wallq under the maddening
Munn of those terrible A:tents. Our grave-yards
open their sodded bosoms to reoeivo their annual
tribute of the young, the old, and the middlo•aged
who have been smitten by this blighting cures.
On every hand may be soon the rags of poverty,
and at every corner may be heard the wails and
whispers of despair. The steel of the assassin is
swelling the long catalogue of murder, and in many
3 pilot home may be heard and witnessed the
ravings of the wretched victim, hopelessly and in
curably insane, or mortally and fatally wounded
unto death, by the use of these adulterated poisons.
Their sale has become universal. Regardless of
the law, men, for filthy lucre, will engage in it.
Your verdict to-day will establish the fact, that if
they will, contrary to law, manufacture and sell
them, they cannot compel others to purchase.
It will also go far to expose the frauds Which they
are practising in the community. And while it
may aid in lifting from society a burden which is
crushing it to the earth. it will teach such Men as
the plaintiffs to be honest In their dealings with
their fellows, and when' they soft to theta old rye
whiskey at a stipulated price, to ferdsh them the
genuine article, and not attempt to impose upon
them that which Is not fit to be thrown to the dogs."
The verdict of the jury was in favor of the
defendant, allowing the plaintiff nothing for
his whiskey,

At Arelt-street Theatre the uninterrupted Blo
om of " Dot " has left us nothing to record. We
might say the increasing success, for molt is the
fact. The whole scenic arrangements aro superior
to those at, the, Winter Garden; at New York, and
not only the mrse en scene—eo difficult to accom
plish; so certain of hostile oritieism if at all de
feotive—but the general acting. We would not
desire a better Dot than Mre. John Drew, nor a
truer Caleb than that fine actor, Mr. Gilbert, nor
a more thoroughly John Bull of a Prerybingle
than Mr. Dolman, for a rougher Toeffeton (yet
with a heart within) than Mr. Wallis. As for Mr.
Clarke, he is inimitable. Accept his reading of
Tally Slostaboy (in which he seems intuitively to
have snatched up all the points of Messrs. Wright
and Buokstone, the London originals of that part),
and whet can be more wining? All through this
week " Dot " will be played as the first piece.
To-night it will be followed by " Paul Pry," In
which Mr. Clarke will appear as the inquisitive
hero whose name gives a title to the play ; Mrs.
John Drew, Mrs. Aesop Steddart, (ae Harry
Stanley,) Miss Taylor, and Mr. atthert Also being
in the east.
Wo have also to notice the success of the new
play of '_'_Geraldine," at Walnut-street Theatre—a
play which hes pony good points, and, above all,
Is written without the evident effort at what ie
called "fine writing," which ambitiously aims at
great deal, and usually accomplishes very tittle.
It may not bo equal to what Howard Payne or
Judge Conrad imps written—for it is deficient in
constructive power—hat it holds out fair promise
of what Mrs. Bateman may sue day produce—.
namely, a thoroughly good noting play, to bo
established on the list of stook pieces in England as
well as here. This drama has had tho fullest jus
tice done to it by the management. Scenery,
dresses, and music, are ail of thy Arse order—
all suitable. But the plot turns upon a sin
gle idea, and is, therefore. deficient In relief.
For what purpose, cave to extend it into
five acts, are the nurse and the jester intro
duced? The nurse tolls nething which acme
other character might not have teld, end the
jester raises so little mirth that, save in a
dull household, such as Geraldine's is, ho would
base boon dletniesed as dull. The anomaly of a
young' woman's becoming deformed without know
ing it, Is a mistake which nothing lees than groat
ability on the part of the actress mould have made
the spectators pass. In the second act, after the
groat sensation just effused by the bard, the In
terest pauses. The fourth and fifth acts are very
well wrought up. What a fine three-act piece this
"Geraldine " would have made! As it is, we
recognise it as au acceptable drama, tiro
arant-courier, we hope, of something very good
from the Name pen. It is well acted. Mr. Show
ell, ono of our most ear Mal and intelligent per.
fanners, makes a great part of the Prior. But
If wo admire the talent which wrote the play, we
tenet acknowledge thegenies which personifiee the
character of Geraldine. This single creation of
hers, throwing soul into the poetic lines of the
authoe, would establish Mrs. Waller as a great ar
tist, if her reputation had not been already estab
lished in two hemispheres. There Is nothing finer
In our recollection—a part of boy Shakeperian che,
racterization—than Mrs. Weller's Geraldine. It
Is full of Woe. The shifting phases of the eharao.
tor aro brought out, and the whole of her perform
ance is a perfect study. On Saturday evening her
performance was yet mere perfect and. thrill ing than
before. We must notice, too, her beautiful costume,
so true to the period, so rich and so becoming.
Wo cannot Imagine more to be made of Geraldine
than she makes. This play will be played through
this week.
The National Theatre, 'Walnut street, opens, this
evening, as a Circus, with a One collection of trained

Gbraldine Defoudod,
[For The Press.]
The Sabbath has been ordained as a day of rest,
but repose does not necessarily imply dullness.
The seventh day of the week, however, seems to ex
orcise a singular influence over the critics who pre
side in the several chairs from whence issue tho
thunders of the Philadelphia Sunday press. Their
criticisms on the new tragedy of "Geraldine"
seem to have been conceived in the shadow of
opium and Mashed under the influence of hasheesh.
While they all admit the beauty of the language,
the originality of conception, and the general dra
matic effectiveness of the play, there are one or ism
points which they cannot surmount. Six days' co
gitation on a criticism is dangerous. Criticism,
like a picture, may be spoiled by overwork. How
many artists have ruined an originally beautiful
conception, by day after day altering and realtor

some misroseepos, suffers from chromatic' Owns
One of the points specially insisted on by the Sun
day press is that " Geraldine" could not possibly
have remained ignorant of.her deformity of person.
This strikes us as a singutarly shallow view of the
conception. We will take an example, which shell
not even kayo the muse that Geraldine had, of not
having consulted her mirror. No one—not even a
Sunday eritio—will deny the fact that women grow
old. Where is' the woman, however constant a de
votee to the mirror, who detects the stealthy ad
venom of the monster Time? WI inkles furrow the
chocks that once bloomed like the roses of Ispahan ;
the magnetic tires of youth aro quenched in the
once beaming eyes; the harmonies of outline that
made her form a breathing strain of music are
broken and discordant; but does she see all this?.
Is the ruin over which others mourn apparent to
her? No. The poor woman still dresses and
stnirkii, and dances, and, unless eke be exceptional,
never once looks over her shoulder, close to which
stands that weird and terrible form that dogs her
footsteps, and will only leave her at the grave.
If human nature is so persistently blind to ob
vious defeats or misfortunes, such as withered
cheeks or gracelessness of shape, we cannot sae
why Mrs. Bateman should be considered fie viola
ting any rule of dramatic consistency in construct
ing that portion of her play in which the heroine is
represented as having been kept in ignorance of
her personal deformity. In the first place, the au
thoress has placed in the mouths of retainers suffi
cient explanation of this secret. Secondly, the
girl herself, in a most gracefully-turned sentence,
explains in a very unpremeditated manner, that
for six years she had mover seen a mirror, being
devoted to religion and the memory of her love.
Such instances of personal sacrifice were by no
means rare in those ages, and if poetic! authority
is worth anything, Tennyson's "Mariana in the
mooted grange," and his episode of the 'Lady of
Shalott in the " Idyls of the King," will add
strength to our statement.
Furthermore, this deformity of Geraldine's ap
proached stealthily. It came with the same insi
diously silent advance that characterizes the fur
tive appearance of the gray hair amid our chestnut
looks. How or when it came we know'not, butane
morning it suddenly breaks upon us, In all its ap
palling reality, that we aro gray! Geraldine's
malformation of the spine creeps on her in the same
unobservable way. All intonations of voice, all
glances of curiosity or pity—in short, all play of
feature or volao in those that surround her is care
fully suppressed, lest she may learn a misfortune
which it was not necessary for her to know.
This is quite in keeping with the feudal charac-
tar of the times. Tho chatelaine, or lady of the cas
tle, hold power of life and death The tenure and
prosperity of all around her depended on her hu•
mor. Who dared to hint that Queen Elizabeth
was a raw-honed, ugly woman No one. On the
contrary, the lyrical and other writers of the
period presented her as a blooming, irroproaoha•
blo virgin, and we have no doubt that, in spite
of facts, she °lmo at last to believe it her
self. Geraldine heard no whisper of her defor
mity. Every eye was lowered, and every emotion
masked, lest an inadvertence should betray the hu•
miliating truth. It was the natural hypocrisy of
vassalage; and.yet the critics say that her igno
rance of the hunch le a dramatic error !

Government. Nothing can be more mischievous
than a persistence in this theory, and nothing is so
certain to change the sentiment of the free States.
The very fact that the slaves of Virginia refused
to respond to the appeals of tile fanatics, and that
hottest and patriotic teen everywhere—without ha
ferenee to latitude—denounced these fanatics, is
the Lest assurance that the South could have, and
the Lest protection that could bo furnished to them.

can t(ant') euppoecil that treason can exist without
being followed or accompanied by murder. Murder
arose out of this treason, and was the natural result ‘.l
this bloody, collet:miry. Yet now, alter all the evidence
has been sit en on all these points, the olnection is ma.te
that war must confine ourselves to a single one of them.
Ile hoped that no each motion would he granted.
Mr. Hunter followed on the same side. lie replied to
the Argument of Mr. Chilton, iii in; that the discretion
of the court in compelling the prosecution to elect nuns
count inn the indictment is only exercised where crest
embarrassment would otherwise imeilt to the p risoner.
Atinpplted to this particular ruse, it invoked this point.
that notwithstanding the transaction. ns has !wen dub
closed in the evidence, be one transaction—a continued,
closely connected series of acts, which. according Moor
apprehension of the law of the laud, involve the three I
groin offences of treason, emelt:inuz with and ndrnslnni
rilavOis to nun itcti insurrection, and tine perpetration Of Intl,
der—) et, in a C ISO of (lila character, it is neither right
nor pniper for the court to put the prosecution nom
their election as to one of the threeand bar us from the
inn entisation of the two others ent'irelx . al lame h 'boy
! relate to facts involved in one grand fact. Note, ilk
standing the multiplicity of duties dove', ed upon the
Pi Otreetitor and assistant prosecutor, yet we has ci founti
lime to he nnd care ria in regitid Lillie mode of
rename the indictment. It is in) work, and I propose to
defend it us right and proper.
Wither) proceeded Unquote Chitty's Crinninal Law aril
3 ROlanaaa PraCtlCe. to prove that the discretion of the
court there spoken of is only to be exorcised in refer
ence to the furtherance of the great ()Inject in a tone, the
attainmert of Justice. Where the KW - liner IS not en
massed in inakinir his defence, this discretion IS not
t o be exercised by the conrr ; and no ease can be shown
where it Inns been thus exercised. where the whole
ground of !he indictment referred to one and tine Flails
trananction. This very ease In point wouldshow the
absurdity of the principle, if it al ere az bread as con:
tended tor lo his learned friend. As for the other point
of obleetiOn, it Kay trio refined and subtle for his poor
intellect.
Mr. Chilton responded In order to ascertain what
tinny is tried foroxe must go to the finding of the Grand
tat y. If the Brand Jinn , return ion indictment charginc
the party with murder. fintlinz it true bill for that. and
he should he indicted for ma nslanThier or an) Other of-
Niro the Court would not have nirmlietion to trY bun
on that count in tlin indictment ; and the wools questi on
turns on the construction of the section of the statute
which has been rend. viz; whether or not anti isms or
conspirlti, , with slaves to rebel is a separate and distinct
micas,, from conspiring with other persons to induce
alas. tin 1.01,01.
The Court said that the difference might perhaps be
liken ro t vnia l , o of to move an arrest of mdznient, hot
the Jury had been charged and had been sworn to try
the prisoner on the indictment as drawn. The trial
most no on, and counsel could afterwards move an ar
rest of lid intent. As to the other °linemen the court
made this answer: The very hiet that one offence eAn
tin charged in different counts, a lining the language and
circumstances, is based Upon the ides that (bonnet of
fences may tin chuged in the same indictment Prison
ers are to be truol Inn the s Remus counts as if the, were

Thn practice has been topint party upon election
whore the prisoner would he emliarrntsed in his de
fence; but that is not the law. In tins ease tbesn of
fences charged are nil port of the Flll2O inaction.
awl no cane is made out for the court to Interiors and
pit the parties noon an election.
Mr. Chilton said he would reserve the motion as n ba

ANOTHER MOTIO' l'Oft
„..
Mr. Griswold retnerked that the position iii ill the pre.

letrrassinent. They had no disposition to interfere with
the mews., of practice. but it was the desire of the de

THE CITY.
A WORD OR TWO ON TRH DETECTIVI POLICC
Br last. after a long deliberation en the part
of Councils. and more than a usual amount of eircuM.o . -
cution in its contrommatien, we have an organised and
well assorted detective department for the administra
tion of police tueineita Yesterday moraine the newly
appointed Chief. 31r. Joseph Wood. entered upon toe
perfni mance of his duties. 31r. Wm - Kt has teen hitherto
nonnerted with the preen BB a local reporter. rind from
the information thus attuned he brille into the per
formance of hie duties a Jerre amount of theoretical ex
perience. We can say rachius o r e pineaseectia. other.
then that they are men of [nod , and that their
remit .tion Os careful and experienced officers is untar
nished.
We cannot lint feel gratified at this state a !hints.
carryirm with •t, as it doer. promise of great good. The
services performed by officers of the Detective de
partment ere of a character cot easily estimated. It re
nu' ram great experience, more than ordinary satmcity—
a mita' to plan and a hand to execute with the rapidity
of conception—to be a go4i . letective officer. There is
no one, as we veil know. dre naed by the en= nab one of these g anneal . }ye comes upon theta in
a manner totally unexpected. and is ...uen a was as to
mate an arrest tha preface. to a conviction. Shrorded
in the no story that surrounds eve y stran rer.—with no
loodge of office to proclaim his warpoee.., and with an In
timate knowledge of nearly every criminal in the corm
trY, his influence is of it character. as we have just And.
almost impossiole to estimate. This is the came in ell
parts of this count ry. and in many countries of the old
world. The adventures of a detective officer have form
ed the plot of some of the most interesting atones. and
Dickens himself has illustrated Mine of his wntims
from their ail , entnres The fame of idout is wand
extended, and whether we admire his prowess, cunr.ing,
Surely..
lenr less intey we are lost in admiration.
Surely. iheri. ouch tersible weapon in the hands or
jounce should lie ex:rawly preserved. Hera, in Phila
delphia. vie ha neglected too long to foster this de
partment of conies as it should be. and it musty now
that non ma .9nm:trestle.: to any thing like an oriantza
tion of the detective mincers in oar municipal tovern
meet. Hitherto there has been no acknowledged head
to the operations of these rithoers other th in that Mayor,
or the Chief of Police—officials whose duties are of a
character such as to entirely preclude them from oaring
to the deteetire haziness the attention its importance
demands. Even as it is In the new organizsnon. the
question arises in our mind as to whether the eight offi
ce., and a chief. C0L090.104 the department. are com
petent to the perfortnanee of the duties that omit fall to
them. sot hat we doubt their ability. but whet we re
member that to new York care skins them is more than
three times this number of pfficeredetailed on this duty.
we feel constrained either to rejoice at the ionmendy of
crime existing n our city, or to deplore the Mgartlly_ lourct"d'°fmes isas
the department. However, we tirrsil=
movement as one in the right direetion. There is ao
Security for person or property in a fax administration
of criminal Justine. and the best way to teach the chil
dren of prime to fear the terrors of the law is to smtairt
and cherish an efficient detective organisation.
A CASE OF FuRGERY.—Some days since, a man
called at the office of Rorrengarten & Sons, team:facto
rum ehemists, and presented a note which purported to
come from an up-town lion. satin.. kink that they were
s little " short," and enclosing a check norm the Consoli
dation Bank for .56.10. dated some days ahead. and ask
ing for the use of the check of Resenvesten & Sons for
that amount. A check watt drawn on the Mechanics'
Bank for toe sum named. and it wan drawn to the miler
of the 6rrn which at was pretended had borrowed the
amount en their own cheek. The whole concern sabre.

the bank liable for the amount, although the check was

riu bowmen t to the commisrion of these forgeries. hat
before they bad been discovered. a man called upon Ito
senearten & Sons with an order for tweutr-five ounces
of quinine, which purported to he drawn by George W.
Carpenter & Co. The firm said they would send the
vow, e to C & Co.. end it was afterwarda ascertained
that this order a - ta a forgery. On Saturday inertia
Detectives Levy and Sommers attested a man named
Arthur B. Drew on the charre °twins:3min: the forge
ries. The accused confessed to having drawn the order
for the quinine, but rye denied the for. cry of the cheeks.
Alderman Kenny held him in .SPC9 to answer the
charge of for.ing the order, and in additional bed for
a iurther hearing on the check besmear The forceryes
were vary skilfully managed, and at in the impression
