*. subject ia as limited as our own. We assume to know of the a edents and future of Indian policy no more than any one in the Colony who may be in the habit of reading the record of the current events of the Way, as given by the different English and American journals. Our distance from the scene f the disturbance — the vast difference between the elements of suciety in India — military, political and religious — from that to which we in this portion of the Empire have been accustomed, have naturally rendered us somewhat inattentive observers of events, which, however fraught with good or evil to Britain and to India, and however pregnant with results important to mankind in its collective capacity, and terribly for thissupposition. All men know that a religious creed, the | un por nt to those nearest the scene of their occurrence—have presen¥ed to our eyes more of the transient colours of dissoly- ing views than the fixed lineaments of the daguerreotype. It is certain that a mighty peril has impended over British wer in the Kast. It is certain that powerful agencies have n at work to undermine that power — it is certain that Russia, long before the outbreak of the war between herself and the Western Powers of Europe, had used every means within the scope of the ablest diplomacy to make the Caspian but a lake on which to float the * steeds of the ocean’? — the Muscovite bearing their living freight, which shall have crossed the Caucasus, to extend its influence by the subversion of the restige which British policy and British valour have estab- Fished as the foundation of the Eastern portion of that Empire on which the sun never sets. In looking at the uncontradicted facts attendant upon this most deplorable outbreak, we are struck with the manifest refutation they present to the most prominently paraded accounts of the cause. (Your true arguer scorns to mitigate the weight of his opinion by subdivision.) It was asserted with a confidence which, if not that of truth itself, would be sworn to be nearest of kin to that virtue that the causa teter- w / cima deli was to be found in the shock which had been given ~ * « to the religious prejudices of Native Indian ‘Troops by the in- troduction of greased cartridges to be used by them. The falsity of this solution is to be found in the fact that the car- tridges so greased and so complained of, were manufactured at Woolwich in England and at the cantonments in the Bengal Presidency itself, by the very men who, objecting to use them as being repugnant to their religious feelings and the rights of conscience, used them in shooting down, as though they were dogs, those whom they had sworn to obey, and their unoffend- ing wives and chHdren. From all we have been enabled to glean from our English files, embracing as they do the opi- nions of various parties, we are led to the belief that the true cause of the Sesheeshi event which forms the subject of this article, is to be found in the concurrence of several conditions. in the first place, it appears to he denied by none that the army of Bengal ~~ to which, up to the latest dates, the spirit of dis- affection had been confined — had been, in the phrase ef com- parative indulg nee, as regards the military forces of the other Presidencies, petted, — and that the system long since univer- sally adopted in our East Indian armies; of draining off the Huropean Regimental Officers for staff and political duties, uader the designation of political agents, &c.—a system which, prejadicial in the other Presidencies of Bombay and Madras, would inevitably prove disastrous in that of Bengal, which, as comprising the seat of British rule, Caleutia, and iar away to the north-west the City of Benares, the Holy City—the very Meecea of the Hindoos—necessarily exposed the scanty remnant of the Enropeans to the full effect of the cunningly combined inflaences of agitation, based upon religiwus traditions — his- toric remmiseences and prospects of national restoration to prisiine glories — had been carried out to an extent elsewhere unknown. That Russia had « direct interest in fanning into flame the long smouldering discontent, is doubted by no one vonversant with the traditional policy of that empire, and who considers for a moment what moral and physical advantages would have accrued to the Czar in the receut war, if, in the heat of that mighty struggle, Britain had been compelled to divert to the East that portion of her resources which would have been absolutely necessary to maintain authority over her enormous Indian territories, and the two hundred millions of inhabitants who there acknowledge her sway. Fortunately for Europe-—fortanately for the interests of civilization—the poison tevk longer time to operate than they who administered “it expected ; and it was not until the Chinese embroglio and he Persian war had withdrawn large portions of the British troops from India that the long pent up spirit manifested it- self, and a rein was given to the worst passions of human nature. That a general mutiny of the entire native army of Bengal had been deliberately preeoncerted—that the various military sta- tious of that vast Presidency of Northern India had been in eluse communication on the subject of the revolt—is proved beyond a moral doubt by the fact, that whenever and wher- ever the news of the first outbreak was received—at any can- tonment, fort, or garrison—no matter how distant from the bivody stage of the first act of the tragedy, the intelligence was received by the troops not with astonishment or regret, but with joy, and the evil example was followed, and the re- volting details were copied, with fatal accuracy. Again, when the one regiment supposed to be true to its colours at Delhi was marched down to oppose the admission within the gates of the mutineers from Meerut, its European officers were at once shot down by their own men, and the mutineers were received -with a welcome thus blood-stained. There are those who think, and not without reason, that the immediate agents in producing the excitement in the minds of the Hindovo soldiery, ure Malommedans, who, fully cognisant, from social inter- course for ages, with the nature of the former, have been the too successful agents of the Russian in inducing the chimeri- cal belief that the power ofa native Indian monarch, enthroned in the ancient and historic halls of Delhi, should drive the Anglo-Saxon from the Peniasula—reclaim the country from the rule of the Feringhees, and inaugurate a return of the times when the Great Mogul received the «‘ barbaric pearl and gold” of tributary princes. This delusion has, we hope, been already dispelled, and they who cherished it, and they whose | conduct has been influenced by it to the commission of crimes | too horrible to be made public—have expiated, as far as their scoundrel lives could atone for their villainies, in darkness and in blood. ‘The probability of some such outbreak was foreseen by the prescient minds of Monro, Napier and others, who were capable of judging the future from the evidences afforded by the t and the present. Their warnings were disregarded by he: eneral government at Calcutta, and, as a matter of course, by the East Indian Company and the Imperial autho- rities in England, whose information comes only from the Representative of Her Majesty in the country whose govern- ment be has been deputed to administer. In addition to the paucity of European officers to which .we have already alluded, as one element in the production of the disturbance, the policy of centralization has been carried out to an extent utterly incompatible with military discipline and subordination in a country of such extent,and where military stations are necessarily so far distant from head-quarters as they are in India. Will it be credited that but the other day an order issued from Calcutta authorizing colonels of regiments to hold Courts-martial, on their own authority. without refer- ence to head-quarters? Let even our non-military reader imagine the position in which the commanding officer of a ea must have been placed when he could not, and his soldiers knew it, order a Court-martial for a breach of discip- line without referring to Caleutta, perhaps thousands of miles _ distant, for leave to do so! Such a system would be enough to damp the energies of any officer who might feel a soldier’s pride in those laced under his command, and at the same time would diminish the sentiment of respect for authority in the breast of the soldier who was aware of the ‘+ cribbed, cabined and confined’? power of his immediate superior, who was.not invested with much more power than himself. The employment of a large portion of the more experienced regimental ofheere in staff and diplomatic situations left to the native ents but few other than raw inexperienced youths, many Of them mere wild, thoughtless boys, who, knowing nothing of their profession, would, in many instances, be laced in authority over those from whom they required to taught the very radiments of their profession! The natural ‘nfluence of this abnormal state of affairs on the mind of the of respect for these who, nominally his superiors, were in reality, in all that regarded their common profession, im measurably his inferiors. Instead of identifying himself with his men, the young European, j India and its people—their cre aud modes of thought—was content in too many instances to THE wa — ? yield himself to the enervating sensuality which an Indian sun is prone to induce, and leave his duties to be discharged, as EXAMINER. capable of inspiring our offspring with Te feelings and views towards the Saered Volume? Would not the young best they might, by his native subordinates of various grades,/ inevitably and ruinously be led to acquire habits of apathy who thus came to be regarded by the men as the virtual depo- | sitories of authority, and as the only superiors who manifested | any interest in their comfort and well-being. Ve see it very confidently stated, by those who must be supposed to have good means of knowing the truth, and whose experience of India and its native population entitles their opinions to great weight—that the well-intentioned but over- _ zealous efforts of the European and American missionaries to | shake the ancient faith of | which their religious and social institutions are based, has had the natives in the traditions on the primary effect of opening the door to the succeeding in- fluences which we have enumerated. We fear there is ground inheritance of generations, is cherished by its adherents with a love which in lapse of time amounts to a conviction, against which reason and truth are for long powerless; and the history | of mankind shows that an intelligent people under the sway of foreigners will submit to the loss of property, dominion, liberty, nay life itself, yet adhere to the particular code of belief in that life beyond the grave, which, asno earthly ruler _e’er gave, no earthly ruler can e’er take away. | ‘That is the instinct of humanity, and in dealing with that instinct they who seek to uproot the strongly embedded ties which bind the living of dee in dearest connection with the ‘departed tenants of the spirit land, in which he believes his /sires have found all the solaces offered by his Church, (and this belief to him is asa fact,) should be wary in their ap- proaches, and take heed lest they alarm and repel those whom | they mean to conciliate and allure. We have every reason to ‘believe that the injudicious efforts of partially educated missionaries, and their probably more natin educated wives, to supplant the faith, and to show the absurdities of the /ceremonies long cherished and observed by the Hindoos, has given rise to the impression, that it was part of the policy of their European rulers to compel them to deny their gods, and to abandon to desecration the (to them) ‘* beautiful house in which their fathers worshipped.”’ fact that they are without the fold, and it is but in accordance with the spirit, direction and purpose of Christianity, to seek to bring them within it; but as well might the forester by mere brute foree endeayor to upheave the mighty oak from the soil of the mountain top, where firmly rooted it has for centuries thrown forth its stalwart arms defiant to the blast, as a few English and American men and women expect suddenly to erase from the minds and affections of millions of the most impressible people in the world, the belief in that which is at once their history and their religion, and which has united those two characteristic elements, and exercised their joint influence over their minds from an unfathomable antiquity. - . From the aboye cursory observations our readers can judge of the probable causes which led to the Bengalese metiny. Had the disaffection manifested itself openly in the other Pre- sidencies of Bombay and Madras, Britain had no power on the Peninsula to have made head against the rebels. That it has not broken out in those Presidencies, is cause of thankfulness to all who would not wish the Empire dismembered ; and from the most reliable sources of information we learn that the same causes for discontent and agitation did not exist in either. Hearty laudations are awarded to the stout-hearted and wise men—the Laurences, Colvins and others—whose prudence and firmness have, to all appearance, kept the native chieftains in their districts not only from siding with their Bengalese fel- low-countrymen, but have really induced offers of active sup- port against the insurgents. A SOUND PROTESTANT VIEW OF THE BIBLE QUESTION. WE are indebted to the Halifax Church Times, of a late date, for the following admirable article on the question of combining religious with secular education. We commend its perusal to the reverend editors of the Protector, who are laboring so zealously on behalf of that ‘* glaringly pernicious , error *’ of entrusting *‘ the religious culture of immortal minds to non-religious teachers ’’—an error says the able writer from whom we quote, whose “ parallel is not to be found in the annals of human folly.’ Our extract appears to be the production of an American Protestant author, and is copied into the Church Tisacs without note or comment—a circum- stance from which we infer that it has met with the entire approval of that unmistakably sound Protestant journal. The sanctified editors of the Protector office may commit many follies in their indisereet zeal for Bible teaching in our public schools, but we cannot suppose they will venture to accuse the organ of the Evangelical party in Nova Seotia with a desire to discountenance the proper and salutary use of the Bible :— ‘Tt is with education as it is with medicine ; one species of drug will give health to the body, another prove powerless, or perhaps hurry the sick man into the grave; and our system of publie school education—is it the drug for the maladies of our body politic, or is it rather Tike to prove ineffectual, or perhaps destructive to what health remains ? ‘* Now, what is the character of that system which the State has adopted for the training of those who are to become her future citizens? It is, as every one knows, a system of training, so far as it goes, for the business, and not for the business and duties of life ; a system which catiously allows the pupil to be taught just this much, that he is to prepare himself to be a skilful tradesman, tailor, carpenter, sculptor, lawyer, porecee ; to take his stand in the world and aspire after its highest places ; but cautiously declines allowing bim to be primarily taught to ‘* fear God and honor the King ;”’ to be instricted in the duties of a good brother or sister, husband or wife, father or son, magistrate, or subject : for of course these duties could not possibly be menticned without moral teaching, and moral teaching in a christian country must involye Christianity, but Christianity, as it involves among us differences of opinion, must be eschewed. ‘‘That which prepares a man to be expert in the business of after life is a portion of his education, and a necessary portion , but it is no more education for a christian man and a good citizen, than going to sea upon a single plank would be the same thing as going to sea in a well ordered ship. ‘* Nothing more than a godless, secular educatjon is or can be given in our public schools, and for the best of reasons, that a religious character is not allowed to be considered as one of the qualifications of teachers. The law forbids it being made a condition of admission to the Normal Schools, and of course the law forbids it being made a condition of their employment as teachers in our primarv schools. They may be the foulest hearted infidels, providing they will not incul- cate their scepticism upon the young. And in point of fact, what are they? A vast slaeality of them are not christian men. A Massachusetts State Superintendant says, that ‘* he has, in an official capacity, been brought in contact with five or six thousand of the teachers of New England, and that there is not one in ten of them to whom he would entrust the moral training of his child.’? And it is a rule subject to no limitation, and one of infinite importance, that as is the teacher, so is the school. ‘It is affirmed that a chayiter of the Bible is daily read | before our schools. It may be in some of the schools of our Fastern, it is not in those of the Western and Southern States. _Every day the necessity of excluding it from all our public schools because of the new versions which are springing into ‘existence. We have not only the Roman Catholic avd King _James’s_versions, but we now have a Baptist, nay more, a Unitarian Bible. And if the Bible is to be read in schools, whose version should it be? The Romanist’s? We Protestants | would notendure that. The Baptist’s? Other denominations _ would set themselves a ease were it the Unitarian version. Shall it be King James’s ? Against this the Romanists would plead conscience and their rights under the Constitution. | * But it isa most important question whether the Sacred Volume should be read in our public schools, and by teachers, | men would be, if not itive contempt, certainly an absence a jori igi ay some of wl ‘white collar, intended as the leader of the Protector newspaper. : Py fo ae en Sen ae ane ale aed to have escaped from the custody of eight or nine spiritualists not religious, nay some of whom are infidels, and who, | therefore, in either case, set no religious example to the young under their charge. Are such men those whom we desire to ust fresh from sehook new to handle, before our young, the Word of God, a book which | I 8, customs, history, languages should be read and explained with a veneration befitting its the critter, and strip him of the collar, will receive @ reward of dd., by origin? Are such men those whom we are ready to think Christians may deplore the | inst this, and the same would be the | or irreverence in dealing with those subjeets which pertain to their salyation, and be taught to confuand the holiest things with those of the least importance ? ‘** And what if our non-religious teachers are required not only to read the Bible, but to appeal to religious sanctions in forming the characters of the young, and to instil into their minds religious truths? Can we deprecate such an attempt strongly enough? J’upils are governed by what they see rather than by what they hear; andif a teacher who is indifferent to religion or hostile to it, who demonstrates by his daily life that he is without the fear of God before his eyes, and who therefore cannot help, by the process of unconscious tuition, proclaiming in his school the fact that he does not reverence the Bible,—if such an one is compelled to teach re- ligion or read the Bible, will he be likely to deepen in the hearts of the young the fear of God and the love of Christ, and promote reverence for the Scriptures! The whole process would be regarded by them not as a sanctimonious mockery, but as a farce. What better instrument could Satan desire ? For more blasting impressions could not well be produced upon the religious associations of the young. Never did the eye of heaven take cognizance of a more glaringly pernicious error than that which would not only tolerate, but constrain the commission of reading the Bible,-eand of the religious culture of immortal minds to non-religious teachers. Its parallel is not to be found in the annals of human folly. And the reasoning by which its absurdity is exposed, need not advance one step beyond the employment of axioms. How can we expect good work without good workmen ? **On the other hand, if a teacher who is an earnest Christian should undertake to teach religion and to inaugurate his daily sessions with worship, he could not honestly i this without giving to his teachings the devotions of bis own peptone creed ; and, ever present with the boys, he must, if 1e is fit fora master, gain their affections and their confidence, and will thus acquire a secret and indefinablé power over them and his religious principles will inevitably become the religious principles of his school. As is the teacher so is the school, subject to no limitations; and in this event every one of a different faith or of a different form of worship would forthwith become offended.—From ‘ Crime Increasing and vur School tax wasted,”’ «moe es) ---————- — To Corresronven'ts. — ‘‘A ‘Tax-payer’’ will appear in our }.

Montgomery, Esqr., Surveyor of Ship- ping of this plaee—and the other, a son of Dr. Cox, of Vernon River,—lost their lives at Hayden’s Mill dam, Vernon River, by falling from a raft on which they were fishing. The bodies were not recovered until the following morning, when they were found locked in each other’s arms. Dr. Cox’s son was 13 years of age, and is said to have been a promising lad. Mr. Montgomery’s son was only nine years of age—was a beautiful and most interesting child, and’ the idol of his parents, whose sudden and painful bereavement cannot fail to awaken general and heart-felt sympathy. A coroner’s inquest was held on view of the bodies, and a verdict of accidental death returned. —_—_—__————__ ¢ ©se228 1 —" Acctpents.—A little girl about eleven years of age, named Thompson, got entangled in the Mill gear in the Mill of Charles Braddock, Esq., a few days since, and had both her legs broken, and her arms and head seriously bruised. Her legs have been set, and we hear there is a chance of her surviving.—Js/. A Child, 3 years of age, named Neill, fell over one of the Wharves this morning, and was nearly drowned. It is still alive.—TIsi. On the 13th ult., as a man named John Dunn was crossing Morell River, about a mile and a half above the bridge, in an Indian canoe, the canoe capsized, and he immediately sunk and was drowned. He has left a young widow and one daughter, besides a number of relatives and other friends, to mourn his loss. He was a very quiet, barmless man, a good neighbor, and was well respeeted by all who knew him.—Mon. i > Marricd, At Charlogtetegn, on the 3:1 instant, by the Rev. Alexander Mackay, A.
