It takes a long time to rise to the scale of a grand operation. By soc- cessive efforts of intelligence and re- solution we are at last sending out a i great expedition to India, and most of our readers will have to open their eyes before they can appreciate the magnitude of the work and its place in the world's history. Let them im- agine themselves, then, on the beach of Southsea last Saturday afternoon. They would there see two immense " dipper" ships, each more than half as large again as the largest ship in Nelson’s fleet, towed from their an- chorage by immense steam-tugs, and each with about a thousand men on board, of whom near nine hundred were soldiers. for the conquest of our Indian Empire. Instead of such ships, objects of ad- miration even to those who see three- deckcrs every day. let us suppose for- ty, most of them filled with men, a few with the materials of war, and then you have an Armada which com- bines the adventurous spirits of early days, the vast ideas of modern times. the hardihood of a rude age and the science of a civilized one.

Terrible as the blow has been to usâ€"to them who read of massacre after massacre of their countrymen. and have too much reason for fearing that their friends are among the vic- tims, we have no doubt the visuation has fallen quite as severely on the civi- lized population. They look to us to rc-establish our name and authority by the mos effectual means. It is not then only because blood cries from the earth for vengeance, or because a thousand British families are plunged into grief or distracted with anxiety. but for the more substantial and para- mount rcason that we are the I’rovi- dentinl Governors of India, that we must now inflict a tekrible retribution and purge the land of its crimes. We have done much, if not our utmost. to humanize the people, to teach them by which means the evil effect of the latth is neutralized.

An ingenious friend suggested that Slll‘ should take a house adjoining the church,and have one of those gotta percha conductors actually led into her bed. The suggestion was carried into effect. and now in the solitude of her sick chamber she listens to the public ministration of her spiritual ad- visor.

He was still alive but wholly inscnsible, and on being removed to the house in a jumper im- mediately expired. The body presented a {rightful appearance, particularly about the head, which was literally smashed to pieces. The perpetrators of these diabolical out- .-ages must have been well acquainted with the house and premises, from the cool and ~ystetnatic manner in which they perfouncd their work, and it is reasonable, therefore, to suppose that they reside at no great distance from the scene of this tragedy, a‘though there was no evidence adduced at the inquest to warrant the jury in rendering a verdict other than they did, viz :â€"-“ Vt'ilful Mitr- der against some person or persons to the It would appear from the evidence that the deceased and some of his neighbors were on bad terms about land and other matters, and it was proved by several witnesses that one of the parties alluded to, named James Kairns, had used threatening improving country, not excelled Canada. These peculiarities may for a time be kept in abcyance ; but, ul- timately they cannot be wholly ig- nored or passed over. Heretofore. Richmond Hill was little known be- yond its immediate Vicinity ; but such shall not be the case in future. A general feeling prevails both in the City and County, that the time has arrived when the County of York should be separated from the City of Toronto for judicial purposes. We might easily adduce numerous argu- ments in favor of such a separation, but it is not necessary to our purpose now to do so, and besides the proprie- “WW-“WW... 3 0:?

SIR,â€"â€"Through the medium of your val- “able Journal, Iwould acquaint the public of the manner in which we are treated by the Municipal Council of VVhitchurch. I believe it is an established rule in Canada that all the business of a Township is transacted at the centre, thus giving all the inhabitants fair play; but not so in this Township. Those persons that have bus- iness with the Council are forced to go al- ternately from Stoufl‘ville to Newmaiket; but I understand Newmarket is about to be incorporated, and Aurora is chossn in its stead. Those villages are situated at the two extremities of the T0wnship; Stouf’f- ville is partly in Markham, and Aurora is partly in King. But, some perhaps will ask; “ Have you got accommodation at or near the centre, where the Council could meet I” VVM FIRE NEAR MAPLE.

And even that must yield in turn to the grander fact of an army of 30.000. well trained soldiers, well found and Well oflicered. despatchcd in the course of three months from England right across the globe, to re-asscrt our au- thority on the shores of the Ganges and the Central Plains of Hindustan. That is the number which will have left this country before the end of this month. and which may be expected to land atCalcutta before the season fa- vorable for active operations. Even so recently as theigrst day of this year. when we were nly breathing as it were from the ya ‘ efforts of the late European war. :13! when we were sufficientlyannoy to find ourselves involved in quarrels with Persia and China. iperhaps the most incredible thing that could have been suggested would have beenpn expedition of 30,- 000 to India. That, however, is what we have actually come to before seven months wereout. It is true we have come to it’step by step ; we have done it by instalments. A force of about 4.500 dcspatch'ed to China at the beginning of the year has been diverted frctn its course, and is probably by this time steaming up the Ganges, or face to face with the mutineers. Since the news of the pre- sent outbreak, .ahout l0,350 ln‘aniry, 1,350 Cavalry,aud and 1,250 Artillery, making altogether near 13 000 men have been already embarked direct for India. About 5.400 more are now in course of embarkation. Thus far is familiar to our readers who have paid attention to our daily military intelli- gence. But in addition to the above, the lat Dragoons. the 7th lIiissars. the 44th, 56th, and 72nd Regiments, a thousand Artillery. and drafts not far short ofa thousand have been placed under orders for India, and will be des- patchcd during this week and the next. All these amount to about 30,000 men. Now this is a very great affair. It is a serious call on the military resources of the country which is so much an ob- , ject of suspicion and rivalry. But iti is necessary 1) be prepared for other demands. Accordingly, for the 30,000 men sent to China, in place of those, ar- rested in their course, Government has wisely resolved ’to embody thirty Mili- tia Regiments, and. to raise many regi- incntsof the line to their full comple- incut.

'I he demand for our common giadcs of flour in the Low-r Pro- vinces during the last two months has been quite active and better prices have been -ealized in Montreal and Quebec than in the New Y0ik market. In this connection we will mention the fact that the bulk of these shipments were by llookcr, Jacqui-s 8L Co‘s through Line of Canadian Steamers, run- ning between Hamilton.

This is a very prompt and re- . liable line, and we are glad to see that it re- ceives a good encouragement at this port. During two months ending the 15th inst... 35.200 barrels of flour, and 2500 boxes of starch were shipped by thin line. which em- brace the principal eXpoi ts of these articles .0 the Lower Canadian markets.

On the night of Satiiiday the 8th ult., a most brutal murder was committed under very atrocious circumstances, on the person ofAlexander Sampson, a farmer, aged 43. living in the Township of Grattan. County of Renfrew, on the line of the Opeongo road distant 18 miles from chfrew; upon whose body an inquest was held by George Ross, and John McNab, Esquires, Coroners, and a large and respectable jury, who sat on the case for twelve hours, but without obtaining any evidence that would lead to the appre- hension of the murderers, although a large number of witnesses were examined. The murder was cominited under the fol- lowing coldbloodcd circumstances :-â€"-It apâ€" peared from the evidence, that the dt‘ct'awcl and his wife went to bed in one room, that three daughters and a Mrs Bussie slept in a room at the other end of the house, while a large room opening into the highway inter- vened between them and the room Occupied by the deceased.
