DETAILS BY THE BOMBAY MAILS. (From tho Times’ Correspondent.) Bombay, Dec. 24.â€"'I lie rumor that the Nana liad succeeded in escaping Irom Oude and crossed the Ganges came upon tbe public of ibis Presidency like a clip ol thunder. 'Ihe most fanatic ot ihe Mus- sulmans in the lebel cause assembled t'lge- iber under the leadei slop ot i eroze bliah, and retired from Oude, leaving the Nana to vegetate, as he had done lor months, m the lorl ol Churda, near Baraiteh. li was not, however, till some days after the passage of the Ganges by Feroze Shuh that the Nana was ascertained to nave taken no part in tbe movements, which 1 now proceed to mu rate.

From the north, as wt proved by tbe event, he had little to lea.. Brigadier Showers, who pursued him from Agra, was too late; but Brigadier Her- bert, from Gawnpore, was more mi cess i ful. There was ai*o a mall detachment at Etawali, commanded by a most indefa- tigable magistrate, Mr. Hume.

Lieutenant Angelo, •thrown forward in pursuit, caught up their .rear eleven miles distant, killed some men -and look the only small gun (zumboouk) that Feroze Shah could boast of. On tin .lllh the pur-uil continued from Coriyah .northward along the left bank of tin Jumna, but the main body of the rebels had crossed the river before Lieutenant Angelo, with the Towana Horse, came up. A. lew men, however, were killed, and several bor es, camels, and some bag- gage, captured. The quicksands, which rendered the .lu:nn» below Etawali parti eularly dangerous, prevented Bngauiei Herbert from attempting the passage.â€" The rebels accordnf^ly proceeded acros* the tongue of land formed above the jutc'ion of the Jumna and Chuinbul. crossed the latter river at Palee, the Sin.i at Lobor, and made their way across country due west towards Dulteah aud Ruunode.

At the latest dates the joint columns was on the banks ot the Cliowka, ab./ve Gooibux Sing's fort of Biutolee. and only separated from it by the stream.

POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS ANIMOSITIES. Since the d ly that Adam fe11 from Paradise, in company with Mother Eve, the unity and haunony thal ought to subsist between individuals has lied, and has been succeeded by diversities of opinions, interests and principles, in almost endless varieiy. VVe think it is quite as i.upossible to find two individuals w.io think and act alike, as it is lo and two exactly agreeing in then ood i ly organization. Attempts have often been made to produce unity of sentiment and feeling, but those attempts have invariably fail- ed in producing the desired result; for strive as you may, mankind al- wT.iys have ditiered in opinion, and th y always will: try the faggot and ilie sword if you chose; from the very ashes of the dead shall arise a spectre, laughing you to scorn for your impotent lolly; a uniformity occasionally you may secure, as did James Ihe 11. of England, ol whose reign it is recorded by Macaulay, thal i>y the liberal use of ’.lie boot, ihe screw, and the halier, he had so tar succeeded that scarcely a single Puritan or Dissenter.could be found in ilie united kingdom. But what was the fact? Way! that.his throne even then was shaking from be- neath his feet, and within a very short peiiod he had to escape fur fear of his life; and thus it has oeen the world over, and will be we may rest assured, till doomsday.â€" Never will the world consent to be- come, like the Dutchman’s garden, â€"a beauteous level. Numerous have been, and are the inconveni- ences which have resulted from this unfortunate tendency to opposition, which seems inhereniin our natures. Bloody also have been the wars which have arisen from this deplor- able antagonism. We think ii would not be difficult to prove thai nearly all our wars and revolutions have sprung liom the political and religious differences of mankind. This, however, is not our object ai present, lor what is past cannot be recalled ; but we do think that the past ought lo teach us in Canada lessons for the future, although it seems our newspapers are rather slow to learn it, The limes, of January 28, had a leader on “ Blood Money.” The object of which was to show that in Ireland the greatest rebels were { ” s often receiving a salary as inform- ers to the British Government.

In duo time ho may succeed iu lus new home, as he lii^ in the place of Ins birib, in fomenting senons disturbances, in ai raving Catholic against I’rotestant, and mem- bers nt c;ne nationally against those of another. Hut, in tho end. he will a* assuredly betray iu tua adopted abode, as he did in his native home, all those wtio tiusted him. and with the new instalment of blood-inoney he will again receive in lemuneration of his bad laiih, ho will again seek new lauds and other victims. It will as- suredly be a repitition of the same story that has aheady been told iu Ireland in tli)S and in la;>8. Ad Canadians, whether native o adopted, will do well to read attentively the ar- ticle punted elsewhere, from tho London limns, and ponder w> II over its coireut.«.â€" file man who has once betrayed his country- men will not hesitate to npeut the in fain v u* - der tiie mercenary temptation of an adequate pecuniary indocemenV.” Is not the person aimed at here evidently McGee ? Of course it is ! Our opinion of thi* paragraph is thisâ€"it is a mean and cowardly at- tempt to stamp with infamy a po- litical opponent. What! Is it come io this, because a man differs Irom me in opinion, therefore he must of necessity be a scoundrel ? And as is admitted in his early days, he has been a little rash ! does that prove him to be the recipient ol blood money ? We ask ilie Leader to prove that McGee has been a detestable informer. If lie has no such proofs we think it ilie act of a base mind thus to stab an opponent by such vile insinuations. II Mr. Lindsay, you have proofs, attack your foe like a man ; bring tliem forward arid let's see ihem, for if you do not the pub- lic will say that it is a mean attempt of yours to i jure and ruin a man solely because he does not belong lo ihe same party as yourself. Bui above all this black insinuation comes wilh a very bad grace from one, who on Saturday made the fol- lowing remarks relative to the Mon. G. Brown’s exclusion from being tine of a Committee to investigate our Provincial accounts: “ The champions of tho Two Day’s M ni ter fly to arms ; and a wordy w ar. on the issue of which the fate of eiti administration de- pended, ensued. The question was perhaps lot put so clearly as it ought have been ; aud in truth the rules of tho House hardly permit of -he real truth being fully told ; which is, in Lin terms, that Mr. Brown's conduct, on this committee, la-t year, was so far removed trom that which a gentleman habitually observes, hat members who respect themselves will noi meet him even in a committee of the House, il they can avoid it.” We ask, which is worse, to en- quire u who told the he?"1 or to m- s.nuaie that an opponent hasreceiv- e I u bl iod-money ?” Mr. Brown is not a gcn.leman ^orsooth, because in an excited moment he does noi speak m bland tones. Then what shall we say of him who in his sanc- tum cooly insinuates lhat another gentleman hasdoneadeed so black hat we c mnot name it withoui hor- ror ? viz.,â€"turned informer. This too comes liom the man who charges G. Brown with being ihe cause of the bilter | ersonalities which dif grace Canadian politics. We should much like the editor of the Leader to show us a page from the Globe that, contains a blacker insinuation against a political opponent, than does the passage we have quoted from Saturday’s issue. Certainly il.e extract given proves that ihe Leader cannot any more charge Mr. Brown wilh not being “a gentle- man/’ when he himself can descend to such blackpersonal allusions as is contained in hisâ€" imely Warning. We think thal every one will agree with us when we suy that our political differences are carried to a most unjustifiable length ; but bad as this is. we think our religious animosities are more disgraceful still. As proof of this, we ask our readers to read an account of ihe treatment Mr. Chiniquy rect ived in Quebec. We need noi now enter into an account of the circumstances hai led Mr. Chiniquy to leave the Church of Rome and become a Protestant. The causes that led lo ihis result are, we presume, known o all. Suffice it to say that he was a Catholic Priest, and is now a Pro- lestant, ft.^d went to Quebec to lec- iure there,â€"which he had a perfect right to do if he choseâ€"and those who disapproved of his course need not have gone to hear him. The press, the pulpit, and the lecture- room, were alike open to his oppo- nents, or they need not have taken any notice of him at all ; for any, or ail of these courses were open to ihe Quebecians, and yet, in this iand of boasted liberty, what did .hey do ? Why they.compelled him to leave Quebec, when he had as much right to be there, and lecture there as they lad themselves.â€" What we ask, would Catholics say if a convert from Pidestanlism to Popery were to be turned out ol Toronto by the Protestants? Why ihey would ciy open shame on such conduct; they would say it was a disgrace lo Upper Canada Piotestantisin, and they would say truly. We alsoery shame upon the Catholics of Lower Canada lor the dastardly outrage ; and we say that both Catholics and Proleslatits ought to unite and put a stop to this mob law. Let every man, whether Catholic or Protestant, have all the liberty that a lawful subject ought to enjoy. Let each do to every man as each would wish all men to do to him. If we must diffei, let us at least have charity enough in us not to hound a man down because tie conscientiously differs from us. VVe think lhat Catholics, if they de- sire to be acquit Irom any partici- pation in the guilt of the Quebeci- ans, ought to demand ttiat the two respectable citizens? who com- pelled Mr. Chiniquy to leave Que- bec, should be punished lor their criminal audacity in thus making him the victim of mob law. til it went to he knows ! ! Mr. T. further siaies that he had certain suspicious that Dr. W. was not what he pretended to be,â€"hinting, J sup- pose, lhat the lecturer was a Yan- kee, yes ! alive Yankee merelyâ€" noi an Englishman. Now sir, few know th<it Dr. Theodore Walworth is from Kingston, upon Hull, Yorkshire, fcmgiand,â€"a lineal ues- cendent ot ihe heroic Sir William Walworth,Lord Mayor ol London,in the Reign of Ilichard II., one ol ihe first ot Phrenologist’s, who, wilh a DR. WALWORTH AGAIN. We have received two communi- cations this week relative to Ihe above gentleman, which we insert, though by no means holding our- selves responsible for what is con- tained in them,â€"indeed much thal is written over the signature of Dr. Duncumb we thoroughly disap- prove of. We do not think thal personal or private ditlerences should be paraded before the pub- lic. A newspaper should never be the organ in which to gralily pii- vde spleen or v’Hage scandal.â€" Our on;y motive 'or inserting the letter to which we have alluded, is ,ustice ; for as Mr. Teefy wrote a letter doubling the identity of Dr. Walworth, it is but just taat Dr. Duncumb (who believing him to be ilie veritable man he asserts he is) should be heard in his defence.â€" But we must again repudiate any sanction in ihe attempt lo make this subject the means ol damaging the private character of any one. We hope that all our correspondents will understand us, for we are de- lermined lhat our paper shall noi be the arena in which lo propagale personal or private malice. We also hope our correspondents will endeavor to be*, as brief as possible in their communications, as we are obliged to omit Dr. Dimcumb’s 1-ostcript to his letter for want ol space. ......Win »-»«â- â€"â€"-- ST.

Sik :â€"I observe in your Iasi issue a letter, above the undignified name of M. Teefy, addressed to Dr. T. Walworthâ€"full of ill- humourand ripe for mischiefâ€"be- ing the expiring throes of tyranny ot days gone bye. I had not the pleasure of hearing Dr. W s. able, good and interesting lectures, which gave such great satisfaction to (too confiding) every lis- tener, excepting the dull-headed who had not the capacity fo ap- preciate there worth. Dr. W. has a great stock of knowledge-â€"has a great many friends at Richmond Hill, and received a great deal of money from them during his able lectures,â€"the best tangible prool that liis lectures were interesting, truthful and life-stiring; they were suitable, w7ell-timed and heartily received by the too confiding. An- other visit from the Doctor w'ould be pleasing to his numerous friends here,â€"and should such ever occur, 1 would recommend the Dr. never to permit an insolvent (pard* n me, I mean in brain) to have a ticket of admission, for fear of J\lr Suspi- cion and his star-chamber deputa- tion demanding his mother’s mar- riage certificate and the registra of his own birth, Mr. T. stales, lie looked over the Army List. Doubtless lie did so ! in the fashion he looked over his own business in days gone bye un- oump ol his golden headed mace, bet to the pavement the bump-stud- ded, boney head ol the mischievous ruffian Wat Tyler, thereby saving his Kings liie and his country’s peace and w elfare. If some ol Dr. W s. gentlemanly lalse friends’ heads were properly examined, and their forelathers’ pedigree® honestly recorded, doubtless they would find their dear selves scions of tlie rag- ged school aristocracy. Again, Mr. T makes his suspicions known to some (acquaintences) lriends, wdio, unlortuiiaiely and unguardedly, al- lowed themselves to be led into bad company, ostentatiously to prove Dr. W. an imposter,â€" in which Air. Suspicion tailed, his greatness fell (iiKe a brimstone- smoked bee) and he left the con- clave wilh a Ilea in his ear. Ihe worthy Phrenologist not being tame enougn to succumb to a mock de- putation, and ^ive explanations to questions which they had no right to demand, I hope the talented Doctor w'lll give us another visit, and a warm explanatory larewei iectureâ€"and show the ex-magis- trate at least, that there are more impostors than himsell. The siraw7 gentleman who enters office through uogus petitions and lalse assertions is nearly related to impostors. Men thal display a big crop ol gewgaw7 e/eieiy and associate with pieierenfiai creditors are ol the impostor family. Men who shower out hand-bilis “ positively going to Australia,'’ to deceive t e too confiding citizens, mi st be twin- biOlht rs to imposlois. Report says: Dr. VV. attempted to borrow money of me.

Count Cavour is a great power in Italy. So great is the c nitiiienee reposed in him that I do not go too ar in asserting that a signal from him would suffice to piodtice an insurrection in almost any part of Italy, or through- out the whole ol the country, however h >pe’ess of Miccess such an attempt might b(.
