of self-infliction 'by fanatics, - had become
neglected by the better classes of Hindoos.
But besides this, the marriaue of widows,
in India, is now an accomplished fact:. This
was hitherto absolutely prohibited by the
Hindoo system'. 'lt is nOW sanctioned and
protected by British law. - A -wedding re
cently occurred, attended by crowds. - ,The.
bride was a widow, of twelve' years of age.
There are many such widows in India,
hitherto given over by' a 'cruel system' to
misery. The. Times justlystyles this "an
important event," and adds— '
"Let nobody smile when we say what
that event was,, or think we over-estimate it..
It was the marriage of the first Hindoo
widow. When, in the person of Luther, a
Catholic priest, three centuries ago, took to
himself a wife, the marriage was not a
greater outrage upon the existing religious
system of Europe, than the' first Hindoo
widow's marriage is upon the old religion of
Hiladostan." ,
4sking the question, "Is this the begin
ning of a Hindoo Reformation?" the Times
points out not only what, important ,infli
ences on dynasties and religions, marriages
have exercised in the world's history, but

A Cunrous UNION, of different schools
of Churchmen, was realized last week, at a
meeting held in the East End of London, for
Church extension among the poor. The
Bishop was in the Chair; Canon Champneys
an Evangelical, was one speaker; Gladstone;
M. P., the noted Traetarian, another; and
the Rev. F. D. Maurice, the true originator
and apostle, in. this 'country, of "Negative
Theology," was another. The latter is the.
President of a Workingman's College, in
Red Lion Square", , and has great sympathy
with the working classes.; - but surely this
union of antagonist elements, however amia
ble in appearance and design, is scarcely to
be defended. The .Bishop , is earnest and
single-eyed, no-doubt,and wishes to. Work
with all earnest men. But earnestness 'must

Congress. And the conviction prevails, that the
inquiry of the Committee barely broke the crust
of the corruption which is known to exist here,
and which a trial at the bar, such as was proposed,
would clearly have established. Venality has en
tered high places; and so long as the temptation
exists, which loose legislation and enormous
expenditures encourage, just so long must we
expeetthis disgraceful system to spread its darken

strike at the root of the evil ; retinae the revenue,
deplete the Treasury, and, diminish the induce

laxity are the besetting sins which are undermin

threaten the Republic with downfall. Corruption,
