(i'hris'tians. 'l'liere't'ore, 'vre, suler on account ol'our religion, have t-ombini'd t’with the people, and have not spared alive one infidel, and have t‘e-establish- ed the Dolhitdyuasty on these terms, ind thus act in obedience to order and receive dnuhle pay. Hundreds of Iguns and a large amount of treasure have fallen into our hands ; therefore, it is fitting: that whoever ol' the sol- dtet's dislike being Christians should unite with one heart and act coinage- ously. and not leave the seeds of these i‘nfidels remaining. Fo' any quantity of supplies delivered to the army the owners are to lake the receipts ol' oili- i'ers; and they will receive double payment from the imperial governâ€" ment. Whoever shall in these times exhibit cowardice. or credulously be- lieve the promises of those imposters. the English, shail very shortl) be put to shame for such a deed ; and, rub- bing the hands ul'sorrow, shall reeewc for their fidelity the reward the ruler of Lucknow got. It is further necess- ary that all llindnos and Mussulmans unite in this struggle, and, llillowing the instructions of some respectable people, keep themselves secure, so that good order may be maintained. the poorer (slaSSes kept contented. and they themselves exalted to rank and dignity;a|so. that all. so far as it is possible, copy this proclamation and dispatch “everywhere. that all true Hindoos and Mussulmans may be alite and watchful, and fix it In some con- qpicious place (but prudently to avoid detection,) and strike a blow with a sword before giving circulation to it.

The police from Caiuga and (lantinld immediately started tor l’elhanl. and on the Sunday night stayed at \Velland- part. a few miles West of that place. The next day they learned that he had left s'ms wremunie. and had taken ship from St. Cath- arines to Uswugo. ln this adventure he seems to have acted shrewdly, whereas he generally succeeded in alluding the grasp ol. the law by straightforward da'ing. Consta- ble Flanders was appointed to t'ollow him up, while the others returned. Mr. Flanders learned from the lock-tender who knew Townsend perfectly. |hat he had shipped for Uswego on board the “ \Vestches er,” a sailing craft. In St. Catharines, moreover, he had traded away his Watch, stolen from Nell-s, tor a fur coat and gauntlels, to a Mr. Mcfiloy (who wa< killed at the li)esjardiu’s accident at liannlton). Mr. Flanders tele- graphed to the Chief of Police at ()swego, and rejoiced in Spirit thinking Townsend was this time certainly in a trap. inquiring ol sealaring men, he learned that the winds had been from the East, and that by hard riding he might catch the steamhoat at Niagara. and thus arrive at Oswego below the “ \Vest- clu-ster.” and thus malt-2 a sure matter it. possible more sure.

The jury being unable to agree, were discharged seven being for acquittal and five for convic- tion. The result having been declared, the prisoner was at once arrested upon a warrant which was waitng for him from the County of \Velland. where he will be. tried lor the murder of the constable Ritchie unde name that he chooses to be called b . The mystery, therefore, apparently remains ‘ unsolved. \Nho is the prisoner, if he is not 'l‘ownsend'l He has made no attempt to prove his identity, his defence was purely a negative one: not one word was said in the whole course of the trial to prove that lie was the man whom he represented himself to be. That he is a man of questionable char- acter is evident frotn the {act that, when he was arrested a loaded revolver and three bowie knives were fouad upon his person: and his whole demeanour since his arrest has been that ofa hardened scoundrel. Then the admissions that the man himselfhas tnade prove that he has been in Canada before ;‘ while the evidence ofseveral ol the witnesses, who swore to having seen this man in the neighbourhood of Cayuga. but who did not know Townsend personally; but from the circumstances supposed this person to have been him ; as, for instance, the witness named Kennedy and the gaoler and constable from \Voodstock, leads to the conviction that he was about the Grand River at the time of the murder. Again, all the eircnmStances go to prove that if not really Townsend, he was a member of his gang, who has not hitherto been identilied ; and who at any rate. it is quite clear, must closely resemble him in his general appearance. The factof such a man having been at the time in the neigh- bourhoud may also have been one reasm why the witnesses for the prosecution were, so positive that the prisoner was Towns-and himself. Further, those who saw Ritchie shot, identify this man as the murderer; and it must be remrmherod that the g’aoler and cotisiablt.‘ at \Voodstoek, swore to this being,r lthe man whom they were ordered to arrest as the ma. derm- of Ritchie. who was dim-rm- 1' any a,» [he mu. dvrnr of Ritchie. who was describâ€" eu' 2|: aucu on that ucrasinn, and not with re- I'H'ence to un)’ pl‘t'ViUlh knowledge of Town- sand. \Ve may then assume lhe: following u.‘ lugilimute dzula ; :1. man wash: the viciuiLy of ( 'uyngagat Ilm limc of Nelles‘s murder-- lllough prnbnhly not concerned in that alTu I' â€"-who mm more or It»: connected with 'l‘uwmcml. and who rloMy rewmbled him m luemmLâ€"This mun was arre~trd at Port Robinson for 'l'owuwud and made his escape by shooting Iln- constable.
