n only in A mig be required to effect his arrest, and ‘ : not Frova the Leadon Times) CAPTURE OF AN INDCAN MURDERER. Among the curiosities formerly to be seen! nthe East India louse was a magnificent saddle, covered with crimeaon velvet and la wslily decorated with caparisons of gold. lt was a wonderfal thing to look at. but the story whieh it recorded was more wonderful etl That saddle was the tr phy and memorial of an event which, furty years afterwards, was followed hy the uyassqere af Cawnpore and the most terrible seeues af the great Ren gal mutinies, The very exploit which we shall presently relate, springs out of the same trausactions, and, as Nana Sahib bas still to be captured, this is not the lust time. we trust, that the subject will be brought before the public. ‘The object in question was the state anddle of the Peishwa or Prime Minister of the Muhratta Confederacy, taken at the battle of Ashti, in IS18, by which vietory the Mahratta power was overthrown. and the Peishwa bigself made a pensioner of the British Government. His pension, however, was large, and his position, except that he was under restraint, by no means a bud ane. He survived qs q kind of State wisoner in Hiodostan far many years, and, t ing childless, exercised the Hindooe privi- lege of adopting sone. The children af hie adyptian were three in nuomber—Nana Sahih, Bala Rao, anda third who died, but left a eon named Pandoo Rao, or Rao Sahib. All this family, though living iu laxarious opulence, canceived themselves aggrieved hy the proceedings of our Govern- went in the ex-Peishwa's affairs, and the at- rucities at Cawnpose, near which city they resided. were executed under their direction. Nana Sahib and Bala Ray superintended the massacres in pergon; Rao Sahib, it is said, | P* remained at Hithoor, the family residence, i charge af the mansion ; but more than one cold-bloaded murder was perpetrated by his orders, and a body of fugitives from Futty- ghar, intercepted by his troops, were for- warded hy bim to Cawnpore, to share the fate of the other victims. Alter the restoration of our ascendancy it was, af course, the anxious desire of Govern- went to capture these three assassins; and to MANY persons it a appear strange that, with the whole of India in our hands, and ail the reseurces of « weil ogganized adminis- | tration at our cammand, we should hitherto have failed in the attempt. The fact, how- ever, thatan |rish murderer is still defying justice at home, and eluding all the efforts of a trained conatabylary to arrest him, may serve to render the escape of the Lithoor fa- mily somewhat less remarkable. Nana Sabib and Balsa Rao, if they atill live, are probably beyond the frontiers of our terri- tory, eyther ja Nepaul, or on the other side af the Himalayaa. Rao Sabib might have heen sepposed, till the ather day, to be in company with his yncles; buat he at last wae delivered into our hands, and by the intelli- nee and energy of an Indian officer, has n consigned after a geries of extraordinary adventures,to the gallows he so well deserved. It appears phat after escaping from the adyance of our troops he joined Tantia Topee, the partisag wha so long eluded our flying columns, and was only caught and hanged after a two years’ fight. After the disper- sion of that chief's band, he wandered about Indig in disguise, settling sometimes at une | place of pilgrimage, and sometimes at an- other j till at length, about a year ago, he) took up bis abode at Chineanee, a small dis- trict in the territory of Jummoo, lying be-! tween the northern frontier of the Punjaut, | and the rugzed hille of Cashmere. In this remote and secluded spot he re. wmained for twelye months unnoticed and un-_ kaown, till he was one day recognized by a Hindoo pilgrim, with whom he had formerly had some eayse of quarzel|. The pilgrim im- mediately betoak himself to Sealkote, the, nearest statjua in the Punjaub, and commu- nicated the intelligence to Mr. Maenabb, Acting Depaty Commiscioner in the Punjaub. That gentleman took his measures without an hour's delay. First arming himself with « letter from the Lieutenant Governor to the Maharajah of Jummoo, in order to meet the contingency of any reluctance or timidity on the part of the Prince, he started for Jum- moo jm the night, and arrived there by day break. An interview with the Maharajah satisfied | him shat bis Highness wes entirely ignorant, of the facts reported, and without any suspi- cion of the people who had found their way | me his territories. For the rest, he was willing enough to co-operate in the capture | of the wurderre, bat the enterprise, potaith.| standing the proffered assistance, was beset | with difficulties, Rao Sahib was on his faa day aud night His servants and fol- wers watched him ; the arrival of a) British officer ig those parts would be in-| rtantly signalled, and at the first alarm the | fugitive might pluage into a cou through Which it wauld be hopeless to follow him.)

It seems | that the ** foreign population ’* is on the in- crease, notwithstanding the eall for soldiers for war purposes. Three Protestant churches have been very recently sold to the Catholic Bishop of the diocese, and it is further stated, ‘on good authority,’’ that negotiations are on foot for the purchase of another.

But vain and supercilious and selfish aa you are, du you fancy that the people will listen to you? Or will they not rather refer their troubles to the enlightened poligy of a great statesmen who has | no selfish interest or pecuniary advantage in de-| ceiving them? And will they not, therefore, luy- | ing aside the silly suicidal bigotry taught them by the ‘ Islander,’ give a frank and generous assent to the policy of our party, seeing that we aim not at ascendancy of any sort, save that of lyherality over bigotry, and are only truly auxious ta raise up our backward Province to the range of pros- perity attained by the sister Colonies ? There is much to be done, and the time is precious; for ere long we way be called upon to cousider, in common with the othey Provinces, the palicy of a federal union of the whole. As for the Tory party, we are convinced that Pope and Palmer have been its ruin; fer on them alone devolved latterly the houors and cares of State, the rest of the Cabinet having gradually abandoned everything to them rather than lounger break the vain supercilious pretensions of the one and the insanity of the other. Woe inake this statement as a matter of fact, in sustainment of which we would appeal merely to the broken front observed by every one, and the disjecta: membra exhibited by the Government upon the late occasion of receiving their coup de grace from the gentle hands of His Excellency, Mr. Dundas. The Tory party we, therefore, consider dead and gone, with only the wild wail of Pope left us to proelaim the terrible agony and bigoted despair of ite “miserable end;” and we look forward hopefully to the early rise and prosperity of a more capable and enlightened “ party" in ite stead. Under our system of Government there must lof its statements ;— ** The world has never beheld such arma- | ‘ments, such resources and such fighting as| this contest has brought out on both sides. | ‘The armies of the Holy Alliance and Napo- ‘leon sink into insignificance beside them. | | Now, Yankeedom is bitterly exercised against | | Great Britain, and could she subdue us, and | | become the possessor of our resources in ad- | jdition to her own, she would take the very. first opportunity to make war on her.
