V c increase of intorost and prayer ami

Little apprehension need ho lelt for
^personal safety of our surviving
,ijjsion#ries in that land, except it ho
;, r those at Agra, tbo fort at which
i’ace u]> to the latest date of our infor-
liiation, ba<l not boon relieved. Though
,’riven from their posts and otherwise
enduring groat trial, they are generally
ia places of safety. Upon, the native
Christians, perhaps, the storm now falls
in greatest fury. They, with our brctli-
w ,"their teachers, and their families,
di„nld he remembered in the prayers
.fall the Churches—that they may he
aved from the violence of their blood-
Ain-ty countrymen — and that their
faith may endure.
The latest intelligence received gives
little encouragement to hope for an car-
V termination of the tragic scenes in
tl,at country. The insurrection is rep
ented as extending and growing more
ihnnidablc,while the government troops
ire making but slow progress towards
y suppression. There is every pros-
■vet of a struggle of several years con-
ixnancc, which is probably to ho the
,ct fierce and bloody the world has
trt witnessed.
Tlic deep and thrilling and long sits
ained interest which the awfnl trage-
6 connected with the mutiny have
| xikencd, and the magnitude of the
NDgqucnces which are vet to flow
■ it, lmvo led to a very thorough dis
union of its causes, in which much
.■lit has been shed upon the character
| .iJ condition of the people of India, and
nature of the British rule over them,
standing of Dr. Duff—the most
ijtingnisliod missionary in India—his
I dnowlodged ability and long rcsi-
| .nte, make him high authority in re-
ution to any mutters }>ortaining to that
I Mintry, and will justify a somewhat
n; quotation of his views of the ori-
. a of the revolt, which we make from
| srccent letter to George II. Stuart, Esq.
fPhiladelphia, published in tho Pres-
Ijtcrian:
“As to the proximate or immediate
mn instrumentality, I have no licsi-
j blioQ in sayiiig, with tho utmost eiii-
i-i.a-is, that the whole is the result of a
Imj concocted Mohammedan conupira-
7 igainxt the British poicer, with a
one to the rc-cstdblishmcnt of a Mo-
tmeJon dynasty instead.
You will remomher that in Moliam-
wwlnnisin tlicre is an inseparable coin-
ration of the civil and spiritual pow-
and that its essential spirit is a fa-
•‘i;al spirit of conquest and dominion.
You will also remember that it was
[ from Mohammedan rulers chiefly, aud
“otfrora Hindu rulors, that the British
Rested the sceptre of Indian dottmj-
ha. The Mohommednns often perse
«l:m conspirators, m various guises,
went abroad Among the Sopoyn—gave
cxngi'crated accounts of the new* cart
ridge and insinuated that its intro
duction was a cunning plot on the part
of the British government, designed to
break their caste and coerce them into
a profession of Christianity.
i he evil-minded suggestion gradual
I v spread and took root in the minds of
the deluded Sepoys. Their snpersti
tjons prejudices were wounded in the
sorest point. At last their minds be
came inflamed, and like so many com
hustihlc materials, hurst forth into open
mutiny and rebellion—massacreing all
the British and other foreigner
native Christians, <m whom they
lay violent hands,-'and covering the
whole land with incendiarism, plunder,
devastation anti blood. The titular king
of Delhi lias been proclaimed Emper. -
of India; the infatuated mutineers prt
fess to receive and follow his decrees
while, in some distant places, petty
chieftains, alike Hindu and Mohamme
dan, are beginning to proclaim them
selves kings of their own respective
districts and Provinces. The* whole
country to the Northwest of Bengal is
in a state of universal confusion and
anarchy.
Such do I believe to he tho true ac
count of the riso and olgect of this dis
astrons rebellion.”
Tliis is ono explanation of this move
meut which lias cost already so much
blood ami treasure anti trial of Christian
faith, and is likely to cost so much more
There is another, however, which goes
deeper into its causes. The discussion
of tho subject in the English papers
lias brought out some most appalling
facts, which throw the greased cartridge
far in the shade. There is a tale o 1
wrong in the government of Britisli In
din, which must bring a blush to the
the face of every one in whose veins
flows English blood. The wrongs of
the African have been the ceaseless
theme of philanthropists in Europe and
America, hut according to the showing
of the English themselves, the African
slave must now deliver up his mourn
ing weeds to the down-trodden and out
raged East Indian. It is now made to
appear that the barbarities of the fren
zied people which have shocked the ci
vilized world, are but the repetition—
the attitude of the parties being re
versed—of what has been before enact
ed in India; that even the refined cm
cities of the mutineers have been learn
cd from their English masters,—that
the atrocities now perpetrated, are hut
the fearful revenge of simitar atrocities
continued through successive genera
tions—that the English governors of
India hnvo themselves licen preparing
the people for this outbreak of outraged
and frenzied fueling. We give some
oxtracte made by the N. Y. Observer,
from its English exchanges, some of
which are almost too shocking to sub
mit to our readers, hut are necessary to
au understanding of the wrongs by
which the people have licen wrought up
to this awful fury.
The Britisli Standard, says :■
“Let it never he forgotten, that in the
terrible events which have recently
transpired in the East, the English have
been the tutors, and the Sepoys their
pupils ; they have only been exeinpli-
fying the lessons taught their fathers
and themselves. Tho difference is sim
ply one of circumstances; the public
eye ia intently fixed on their doings,
while our own are carefully concealed.
On tho strength of history, however,

lUJns generally xrero wont to vinous troops that cannot hi paralleled,
if not oxcoedcd, from the history of
England’s career in Ilindoostan. One
of tiie most noted events of the hour,
for its treacherous wickedness, has found
a parallel in England’s treatment oftho
Rajah of Benares:
The fort was surrendered on oxpreSS
stipulation for the safety, and freedom
from search, of the females; hut, adds
Mills, “tho idea suggested by Mr. Hast
ings diffused itself hut too perfectly
amongst the 8oldiery ; and when the
princesses, with their relatives and at
tendants, to the number of three hun
dred women, besides children, with
drew from tho castle, the capitulation
was shamefully violated. They wore
plundered of their effects, and their per
sons otherwise rudely and disgraceful
ly treated by the licentious people, and
followers of the camp.”
Mr. Patterson, ono of the Britisli
East India Company’s commissioners,
addressing the Company, says:
“Those who could not raise the mon
ey were cruolly tortured. Cords were
drawn tight round their fingers till the
flesh of the four on each hand was ac
tually incorporated, aud hecaino one
solid mass. The lingers were tlien sep
arated again by wedges of iron and
wood driven in between them! Otli-

The case of tho Mohammedans was
: •% different. Looking on the Brit-
• ? i as tlio aubvorters of their thrones,
the supplantors of their dynasties,
‘ never could forgive them, and no-
could ho peacefully reconciled to
• !| «f supremacy.
^°r the lost hundred years they liavo

ed out at tho mouth, noso, ami ears.—
They were also flogged upon tho naked
body with bamboo canes, and prickly
bushes, above all, with some poisonous
weeds, which were ot caustic nature,
and burnt at overy touch.

Tho treatment of the females could

inmost recesses of their houses, which
tho religion of tho country had made

were carried to the Court of Justice
where they might naturally have look
cd for protection, hut they now looked
for it in vain, form the face of the min
inters of justice, in the face of the spec
tators, in the lace of the sun, these ten
dor and modest virgins were brutally
violated. The only difference between
their treatment and that of their moth
ers was, that the former were dislion
ored in the face of day, the latter in the
gloomy recesses of their dungeon.
Other fcma]cs hail the nipples of their
breasts put in a cleft bamboo, and torn
off.”
Judge Luard, one of the Bombay
Judges, now returned, in n pamphlet
recently published, says:
“It is not, therefore, greased car
tridges, attempts at conversion, or the
assumption ot' native states, (although
this point requires qualification,) which
lias caused our downfall in India, hi|t
long-continued, corrupt, Jtrospoiisiblo,
resistless tyranny; and if every man
who has been in India has witnessed as
many diabolical coses of murder, jiuli
cial bribery and robbery, deliberately
perpetrated and deliberately upheld,
as I have—and why should my experi
cnee ho singular ?—then it was indeed
high time for the natives of India to
take matters into their own hands. I
deeply deplore the barbarities wliicl
have disgraced this mutiny ; the blood
of our unoffending country-women, and
of the helpless babes, murdered in coid
blood, will, I doubt not, he fearfully
Uud speedily avenged—perhaps, alas!
repaid in kind ; but oven in the suffer
ings of these innocent victims I can
trace the vengeance we have been
slowly hut surely dra a ing down upon
upon ourselves for the deliberate bru
tality native women have received at
our bauds, without ever once creating
an emotion in the hearts of those whose
duty it was to protect them on the sj>ot,
or ofthe British public at home.”
“I have known respectable native
officers tied up and flogged before the
whole regiment, and then dismissed
without any sort of inquiry; they did
complain, but the commanding oflicur
was related to Lord Dalhonsic, and, of
course, there was no redress; one was
named Hydor Khan, and his brother
Gaffer Khan, died gloriously at Khalat,
Nor are tho miserable ryots better off.
Tiioir sufferings, their poverty, their
degradation, are a matter of public no
toriety, and at the bottom of this, as of
all the disasters attending our Indian
ride, is corruption, and again corrup
tion. Corruption in the native officers
and agents, encouraged and turned to
profit by the European servants of toe
Company; corruption again among
these, winked at by the Government at
home.”
We cannot forbear adding to these
the conluding paragraph which the Ob
server quotes from an article in one of
the English papers :
No more thoughts of ‘vengeance,
then, but of humiliation before the Gon
of tiik Whole E.vktu. The language
of the Prophet is only such as befits the
mouth of England :—‘We have sinned
and committed iniquity, and have done
wickedly: O Lore, to us helongetli
confusion of face, to our kings, to our
princes, and to our fathers, because
we have sinned against Thee: to the
Lord our God belong mercies and for
giveness.’ Let all England hear the
words of the greatest Advocate that
ever stood at her Bar:—
We are accustomed to govern India
country which God never gave ns
—In/ means which God will never jus
tify.'
According to these confessions tho
causes of tho revolt are much deeper
than that popularly received. This
does n&t at all detract from the enor
mity of tho barbarity that has been
displayed, but should abate that desire
for vengeance which has been so free
ly expressed in both England and
America. Nor does it make any change
in our desires as to the issue of the
struggle. Notwithstanding the iniqui
ty and wrong of the past, the tempo
ral interest of India itself, and the inter
ests of civilization and Christianiza
tion seem to be identified with the
success of the British arms. India will
know no repose or stable govern
ment for generations to come, unless
the British ascendency is restored; and
once restored, after such a rebuke, it
may be reasonably hoped that the
government will be more worthy of a
Christian nation. The dependence of
the Missionary work in that country
upon the toleration of the British pow
er, must incline every friend of Misr
sions to desire its success.
Approaching Launch of the Great
EASTKUN.
It is now inoro than three years since the
lofty walls of iron, forming tho sides of the
Great Eastern, first began to excite the won
der of voyagers up and down the Thames, and
as she approaches completion the public interest
.• t 4.,.. , i.„ h v tlm fnpt increases. Enormous size, which is naturally
ers were t ied, t\\l >} ,t A > the distinctive feature that first strikes the ob
server, is, however, ono of the least of the mar
vels that belong to the joint production of Mr.
Scott Russell and Mr. Brunei. Wc have the
assurance of tho former that the Great Eastern
is built upon precisely the same model as every
vessel he has constructed since his discovery o
tho wave lino 22 years ago. In this wonderful
ship, which now towers some 70 foot above the
lovel ofthe Isle of Dogs, dwarfiug every pass
ing vessel by her enormous proportions, we
have only an extension of the lines upon which
Mr. Rnsscll built the little Wave, of 7 1-2 tons.
This may relieve those who regard tho " big
ship” as too much of a novelty, anil still leaves
sufficient food for wonder in the knowledge
that she is about the eight of a mile in length,
and more than twice the length of the Great
Britain, which a dozen years ago, was the larg
est iron ship then built or thought of. But her
rcadth is much less, in proportion to her length,
than that of the vessel just named, (being ?-
feet “ over all ”) a point of ditference which
affords the best ground for the anticipations
entertained of the speed with which she will
cross the Atlantic.
Granting, then, that the mammoth ship is
merely an extended copy of all other iron
steamers built on tho ware liuc principle, let
us see what arc the " ouo or two exceptions!”
so modestly alluded to by Mr. Russell, last
week, before the British Association at Duhliii.
The most promiuent, in reality, though a feat
ure which escapes unprofessional visitors, is
the cellular construction of the upper deck, tuld
the lower part of the hull, up to the water link,
or about thirty feet from her bottom which is
ns fiat as the floor of a room. This system,
while it gives greater buoynnee to the hull, in
creases her strength enormously, and thus cu-
nblcshcrto resist almost any outward pressure.
Two walls of iron, abput till feet high, divide
her longitudinally into three parts, the inner
containing the boilers, the engine rooms, anil
the saloons, rising one above the other, and the
lateral divisions the coal linkers, and, above
them, the side eabius and berths. Tito saloons
are sixty feet in length, the principal oue.
nearly half the width of the vessel, and lighted
by skylights from the upper deck. On either
side are the cabins and berths, those of first-
class being commodious rooms, large enough to
contain every requirement of the most fastid
ious o? landsmen. The thickness of the lower
deck will prevent any sound from the engiqe
rooms reaching the passengers, anti tho vibra
tion frem being at all felt by them. Each side
of the engine-rooms is a tunnel through which
the 3tcam and water pipes will be carried, and
also, rails for economising labor in conveyance
of coal. The berths of the crew are forward,
below the forecastle, which it is intended to
appropriate to the officers, whose apartments
are at present only marked by a few uprights,
running ten or twelve feet above tho main deck.
Below the berths of the seamen are two enorm
ous cavities, for cargo, of which 5,000 tons can
be carried, besides coals enough for the voy
age to Australia, making about as many toils
more.
The weight of this huge ship being 12,01)0
tons and coal and cargo about 18,000 tons
more, tho motive power to propel her twenty
miles per hour must he proportionate, if a
visitor walks aft, and looks down a deep chase
near the stern, he. will perceive an enormous
metal shaft, KM) feet iu length and weighing
GO tons; this extends from tlic engine room
nearest the stern, to the extremity of the ship,
and is destined to move the screw, the four fans
of which are of proportionate weight and di
mensious. If, next, he walks forward, aud looks
over the side, he wiil see a paddle wheel con
siderably larger than the circle at Astjoy’s ;
and when he learns that this wheel and its fel
low will be driven by four eugiucs,' bavin,
nominal power of 1,000 horses, and the screw,
by a nomine! power of 1,(500. horses, he will
have no difficulty in conceiving a voyage to
America in seven and to Australia in thirty
days. The screws engines designed and man
ufactured by Messrs James Watt Co., are
far tho largest ever constructed, and when
inakiug 50 revolutions per minute, will exert
an effective force of not less than 8,000 horses.
It is difficult to realize tho work which this gi
gantic force would perform if applied to the
ordinary operations of cofmncrce; it would
raise 1B2.000 gallons of water to the top of
the Monument in one minute, or drive the
machinery of forty of tho largest cotton-mills
in Manchester, giving employment to from 30
to 40,000 operatives. There arc four cylin
ders, each about 25 tous, aud 84 inches iu di
ameter. The crank-shaft, to which the con
necting rods arc applied, weigh about 30 tons
The boilers are six m number, having sevonty-
two furnaces, and an absorbent heating-sufaee,
nearly equal, in extent, to an acre of ground.
The total weight exceeds 1,200 tous, yet so
contrived that they can be set in motion or
stopped by a single hand.
Sails will not be much needed, for in career
ing over the Atlantic at twenty miles per hour,
with a moderate wind, they would rathor im
pede than aid; but iu the event of a strong
wiud arising, going twenty-five miles per hour
in the course of the vessel, sails may be used
with advantage, and the “Great Eastern’
provided, accordingly, with seven masts, two
square-rigged, the others carry fore anil aft
sails only. The larger masts will he iron
tubes, the smaller of wood. The funnels, of
which there will be five, afternating with the.
masts, arc constructed with double castings,
aud tho space between the outer and inner cast
ings will be filled with water, which will an
swer the double purpose of preventing the
radiation of heat to the decks, and economis
ing coal by causing the water to enter tlic boil
er iu a warm state. Her rigging will proba
bly cause more disturbance of ideas to nauti
cal observers, for besides the usual number of
niiists, she will want two most striking features
of all other vessels, namely, bow-sprit and
figure-head. Another peculiarity is the ab
sence of a poop. The Captain’s apartment is
placed amidships, immediately below tho bridge
whence tho electric telegraph will flash the
commander’s orders to tho engineer below,
helmsman at the wheel, tind look-out man at
the bows. In iron vessels great precaution be
ing necessary to prevent the compass from be
ing influenced by the mass of metal in such
attractive proximity, various experiments
have been made with the view of discovering
the best mode of overcoming this- It was origi
nally intended to locate the compass upon a
stage forty feet high, but this plan has been
abandoned, and a standard compass will be af
fixed to tho mizen mast,' at an elevation be
yond the magnetic iuflucncc of the ship.
Wlmtovcr misgiving may be felt as to tlic
length and the weight she will carry amidships
will be set at rest before sho touches the water
by tho mode of launching—au operation as
great a novelty as tho ship herself. The plan
hitherto has been to build the vessel oh au in
clined plane, and at right angles with the wa
ter : but iu the case of the Great Eastern this
was impossible, on the account of her great
length, to say nothiug of the expense of build-
a vessel of her enormous dimensions in a posi
tion that would elevate her forecastle nearly a
hundred feet above tho ground. Those con
siderations led Mr. Bruuci to determine upon
launching her sideways, with which view site
has been built parallel to the river. In con
structing the foundation of the floor on which
she stands, provision has been made at two
points, to insure sufficient strength to bear thp
whole weight when completed. On these two
points she will rest wheu ready, aud thus her
strength will be tested in tho severest, and
therefore, most satisfactory tnauucr. j Two
cradles will be introduced at these points, and
sho will then bo moved by two hydraulic en
gines. Timber ways are laid down to low
water mark, with an incliuc of one foot iti
twelve, and iron rails of peculiar construction
tiro laid on these transversely. A tell-taie
will indicate tho ratoat which-the two endsari
descending, and any difference that may oc
cur will be immediately rectified by strong
cheek tackle, ft is calculated that she will ad
vance twelve feet per minute, at which speed
her submersion will bo effected.
