ENGLAND’S NIGHTMARE. Bignificance of the Indinu Arms Dill—Tnsub- ordination of Sir Bular Jung—Does the Nizam Contempinta Rebelllon ? Pall Mall Gasette, 1t is not without iIntention that we couple the reports of mediation with tha news from Indin, beceauso it Is pretty obvious that the war aud ts conscquences, actual and potentlal, arc belng felt there much more dlstiuctly than is quite comfortable. Of course overy exertion {s made by the Russian partyto conceal what is golng on there, and to suppress all consideration of India 8a connected with these troubles at all. tlow fs It that the news of an Arms bill for Indla has been so studlousiy neglected—so carcfully passcd over in silence! It Isa week ago now since we henrd of this bill; not a word bas been sald {n contradictlon ot the announce- ment, and, excent in our own columns, no notice has been taken of it whatever, And yet it Is a matter of grave algnificance, and nobody 18 sore aware of Its gravity tuan Lord Salisbury himaelf, whols so ready to laugh away apprehen- slons to lisown kuowicdge perfectly well found- ed, Now this, wg rupeat, is serlous nows; and 1t tho public were aware of all the reasons, par- ticular as well as general, which have led to this futroduction of an Arms bill for India they would say very loudly what sccined to us tho right thing to say when Lord Salisbury jeercd at *Indian nightmares,”” And something else bus sinca been reported, whicl {n like manner the Russian pruss in En- gland agrces to remain sllent about, and yet it 1oy noteworthy circumstance, even tnkon by Itselt and apart from the India Arms bil), with which [t Is not unconnected. According to s letter fn the Bowmbay Gazetfe, the Nizau, thouzh that great friend of England wlo s supposed to have “eaved” the Emplre at the thno of the mutiny, hoa just committed an al- most outrageous act of deflance agalust the Government. Bir Salar Juog himselt las be- coms rudely aud openly jnsubordinate. It ap- peara that“the Indlan Government declared a certaln Nurshinha Davarozloo rightful helr to Anagoondy. **A portion of tho Anugoondy cs- tatesaresitunted In the Nizam's tersitory, ndjoin. ing Sir Salar Jung's private jahaguer at Copal- droog. Tl Government of “India, through the resident, had asked the Nizam's Government to admit Nurshinha's claim. ‘T'his month Bir Balur Jung positively refusus to contirm the Govern- mentof Indla’s nomination, und has forelbly seized Nurshinha's scals, keys, and offlclul pu- You. aud has ordered his fmimediate departurs runi the Nizain's tercitory, The Nizum's Gov. ernment has nominated ‘a distant relation of the family of the Mahsrajah, and haa ordered the collcétion of the rev from the Ana- goondy estute by the Nizam's offlvers. hils may seom o triflog trouble, and the triflng trouble nay be arruneel. But in the nmcml. ition ol affatrs it may mean o and In sny casc much 8 oec sury to explaw’ how ft _comrs ta pass that Batur Jung, wnu knows Eugland, En. rlish stateaimen, sud the Englist power at least us well us any Indlan in the Euplre, should feel himsclf anfe (. _committing so open s violent an act of deflance. Of courae, the story niay not bo true. As to that, we only know thut It 1s three weeks old; that it has not been eontradicted, and there are scerlous reasons for accepting it as probable, More need not ho salil at present furihier than this: Whoever declures that Hussian successes and intrigness that dis- cussion In Evglish polltica; that the syipathy ot Engllsh atatesmen, phltosophors, i histo- riaus with racea under the ruke of forelgn vene qucrors; that Enuhish liclplessaess or apatliv— that thess untoward plicnomena have no effect in Indly, speaks olther 1o {gnorsace or with in- tention to mislead. —— FUTURE PUNISHMENT, Never onding for neglect.of your teeth, and gold filling at the luwest living rates.
