If orn deviously and blindfolded to this place, within cal fcarcely have known it for anot remote part ef the town in which our lives are passed. A compound of sickening sineils, wretched dwelling houses, with their vile contents, animate and inanimate, presented themselves. The first door that was opened—for ne ceremony was observed by our guides—brought to lght lowering foreheads, sallow cheeke, brutal eyes, Matted hair, and dirty, vermin-haunted heaps of rags. We were in the presence ot those who, it was confidentially whispered, are first class thieves. “Well, my lads, how are you? Here’s some com- pany come tosee you.” “Right glad to see them,” the answer, given in @ tone that belied the sin- cerity of the speaker. While these words are hur- riedly spoken the roving eyes of the detectives searchevery corner of the room. “What's up now ? Who's wanted? breaks in one of the company. “Not you, mny lad,” and, flading we are not bent on area any of the crew, they resign themselves, to a state of utter indifference, One could not help be- ing struck with the perfect noncha/ance with which the ambassadors of the law conducted themselves, Although surrounded by a gang of ruffians who could have done us serious bodily injury, threatening demonstration Was inade; on the con- trary, every thief cowered before us l1ké @ schoolboy in the presence of his master, Provably the hands of our guides have been laid upon the coliars of the majority of the fellows; and yet they remained Masters Of the position. Let them but produce their wand of otlice—the ghostly truncheon er the im ‘“darbies’—and utter the portentous word: ‘My lad, I want you,” and we venture to think the whole gang would be stricken as wiih paralysis, while nota finger would be moved as the handcuffs Were being fitted on. Before the power of the law the thieves bowed with an abject air, and made, in- deed, @ skulking show. “Good night, my la “Good night, and tiank’ee, Mr. Jones” (this is the coppers which the rascals impoztuned for beer), and a number of baleful faces attend us to the door. Passing up the street an apparently well-to-do man, smoking the pipe ef peace while waiting the arrival f his lodgers, ide accosted, “Business,” we learned, Whatever that might be, “was bad, but it was no use complaining.” “Was anything up?? asked the smoker in a half doubtful, haif iaeifferent Manner, The words, “Nothing much,” seemed to lift @ burden from his mind, while his breathing be- came more regular and measured than belore. returned convict was our iriend, who owed his experience of jail life to one of his visitors, against. whom, however, he entertained no feeling of resent- ment, or, at all events, had too much good sense to show it Nay, he went so far as to invite our party into his apparenti: well furnished room, but did nov press his hospitality on hearing that we had “other fish to fry.” The courteeus “good-night? of the ofMcers Was as courteously responded to, and the convict Was left to ruminate, if he chose, over the vicissl- tudes which beset the burgiar’s ine, IN THE BEEK HOUSES, Midnight had nearly arrived, and before the twelve bells struck we made our way to a beer house A little more than a stone’s throw from the Welling- ton monument, This was the resort of some of our noted thteves, and entering by the side aoor we came unexpectedly upon a company of about ® score of comers and smashers, pickpockets and burglars, tramps aml beggars, the company including a few of the getier sex (not very gentle here). Although tle visit was an unexpected one (they always are, al- thongh the breakers of the. law live in conunual fear of the police), the Bacchana- lians were not discomilied. On the contrary, we were smiled upon by all, and a few of the moile; crew eagerly pressed forward to shaxe the hands Which at some time or other are lkely to be laid upon them in anything but a friendly manner, Thao attention shown to the Olivers was of tie most ob- sequious Character, the proffered glasses starting up In every direction, and biessings tailing from lips which, doubuess, bul a few moments pe.ore had been uttering curses. The sightof a gold wateh which was inadvertently taken from the pocket dur- ing the temporary absence of our guides became the object of geueral attention, aud but for the reap- pearance of our friends it is very doubtful into Whase possession it would have come. The land- Jord Was hot in the least discomposed at the visit, for h€ continued drawing for the half drunken hags and maudiing lads his pots of beer and quarteras of yin as though tie customers belonged to the most respectable portion of the community, Evidentiy the company wero delighted at finding the officers did not “want” anybouy, and as weretired a chorus of Iaughter rang upon the midnight air. “TRAMPS’”’ LODGING MOUSES—DRUNKENESS, GAMB- LING, SICKNESS, Turning down a narrow street, the tramps’ lodg- hg houses were reacved, and entering one which ‘Was the resort of card shavpers, @ woinan and her twochildren were seen sieceping on a truckle bed, ‘he door Was not locked, aud a8 a candie was still uming On a side taile, our party entered and aroused the beldaine from her sluinbers.

Denounce tdolatry and cast protest agaist the ten thonsand social corruptions that you see in India, but gull can yeu ever for'one ino- ment make your eyes bilud to those great facts you nee fe early Hindooism— faets Which shew nd = un ihstakab prove the high stata oi spiritual expansiem which the hearts of our forefatiers Nad attalued? Ths isa fact which must be acknowledged not only by Indi- ans, as patriots and men who love to cherish and Tespect the memory of the past, but also by Engiish- better attention to this subject. is the result? By the tuquiries of men like Professor Max. Miller they have seen with their own eyes, as it ware, this beautiful, gentlo stream ef gent evo- tional love flowing through the length and breadth of the country in ancient India. Now, alas, we don’t see its traces even. Where are those devout Men who could not live except in prayer—whe felt the reality of the spiritual world as we see to-day the reailties of the physical and moral world—meu who wanted to prove everyting upon the ground of direct spiritual testimony—men who disiended their hearts and opened the eyes of faith in order to see and worship the — livin Fatuer, as one infinite Spirit ‘nat, I believe, 1s Just the thing which England must accept from In- dia. And what is that but tne very spirit of devo- tion and prayer which Jesos Christ tried te tucul- cate? ‘The true Christian, in order to bea true Cortstian, mut have mot ouly outward works ef charity, practical righteousness aad moral rectitude, but also he must have @ devout and prayerful heart. Let, then, India rm from England practical Tighteousness; let Engiand learn froia India devo- tien, faith and prayer. Let us learn of each otner; let Engiand’s spirit of charity be infused into Min- doo society; let the millions ef my countymen— Hiudoes, Parsees, Mohammedans, all races amd sects and denominations of India—believe that Provi- dence has fer noble, benevolent and wise purposes entrasted their destinies to England, and that geod wiileventually come out of such political connec- ton, England is pound to govern oar country for the goed of our people, Trose days are geue by, never to return, when men thought ef holding India at the point of the bayonet; those K days are gone by when men thought of closing all public schools and colleges in order to prevent the rise of independent thought, the growth of inde- endent public opinion, in native society. Men aro ‘ginning to feel that India is a solemn trust, that the English eut in India are acting simply as tras- tees, respouaibie and accountable te that God who placed Indla in thelr hands ‘or the weifare of the country—(applause)—and that if England aoes not Gischarge her duties to {ndia in @ truly Carisuian spirit; if England seeks to crush down one huadred and eighty mulions of people in this glerious coun- try, to destroy their natienality, to extingulsh the fire of noble antiquity ana the Gnrill of ancieut pa- trietism—if England’s ebject in holding intereourse with, and governing the people of India is stinply to make money and to leave the people to themselves matters of spiritual iife, then I say, Perish Bridigh rule this iement. God will not tole- Tale a government at this (ime of the day based on principles ether than those which we recognize as Se brinciples of justice and benevolence, (Ap- plause.) As to social customs, the Baboo seemed to havo been shocked at (he fasitons im dress, and hoped that crinoline, for example, would never be intro- duced among Indian women, He has alyo a righte- ous horror of bev, and his faith in curry and rice is pil unshal hotwithstanding all the splendid inner parties to wliich he was invited in England. His remarks on the English dinner tabie were de- livered with considerabie humor, and were highly relished by the audience. India, be thinks, bas many things to learn from England, but Kugiaad, also, has many things to learn from India, and they should each adopt the good mstitutons and customs of the other. He concludes with tne fol- lowing appeal to his counurymen:—‘‘Sefore I depart from this hall, allow me, ny friends and fellow coun- trymen, to say that, having returned from that great country, [ cannot allow bre to sleep in such ® critical age as this. can teil yen im dis- ______ SALEM AT AUOTION.
