From the fiat outbreak of the derJnrabls If ntiniea Ln the East have performed a 'duty to the i public in placing before it the views of men quali crpcriens: obscrratlcn ta CHANGE OF MINI8TRY TURKEY. IK under tome obligation to undertake a duty more immediately our own, and to assist tho reader in sifting this hum of testimony, ao as to obtain, if possible, a iraUuiini of such fundamental truth as would be reoyuixad by all.

In the eyes of one cls of advocate) the Sepoys wero goaded into rebellion by tho distribution of the gTreawd oartridirpa, fulluariutr certain other proceedings similarly od culated to arouae their alarms for their caste. Accon'ins to this theory, tho native sol dier is d.vile. ludicni, and loyal as long as his leJigioui pn jiitlit'ea art respected, but is driven to alsolute fnenty ly the slighteat suspicion, whether grounvlless or otherwise, of any interference with hs creed or its otwrrancea. It was a venturroame policy to forlid mtte and infanticide, and to withhold the contributions of (roremmrait from idolstrous inititiiti4is. Thus far, however, were perhaps jus ifird in advancing but when our authorities actually subscribed to Missionary Societies, when re terminated the penalties attaching to conversion, and when we proclaimed by edict that Hindoo wido mi tit re married, we vitally out raged the sensibilities of ltnhminism, and prepared the native mind for the belief that we designed to proceed by tome stratagem or other to the 'uttor and final abolition of caste.

This is one view of the caae. Another representation of the facta attach ot only a secondary importance to tho irritability of the Hindoos, and portrays them as simple bigots employed like tools by the more subtle and vindictive Mussulman. No doubt, the Hindoos took are at the thought of pollution, but this thought would never have occurred to them except for the insidious suggestions of Mahomedan intriguer. We superseded the Mahomedan power in India we dethroned the Great Mogul we sub jected his lieutenants to our authority, and we reduced a conquering anddominant race to a position of inferiority and subservience. Hence their undy ing resentment, their implacable hatred, and their resolute determination to try one more struggle for luptrmacy.

Sometimea this argument it pointed by reference to a very recent transaction the annexation of Oude, and it is urged that by the extinction of this government we filled the cup of the Mahomedana to overflowing, and precipitated their day of insurrection and vengeance. We need not extend our analysis beyond these two chief cUasct of opinions. Under one or other of these categories may be ranged, with more or leas incidental variation, almost all the dissertations which hare appeared in our columns ex planatory of the mutinies in India and what we wish to point out to the reader is, that they one and all assume that a magarlrva, aa it were, of gunpowder was preserved under out fabric of empire, and proceed to inquire who applied the park I The explosive mass was represented by 150,000 native soldiers, armed, organized, dis ciplined, habituated to deference, and taught to regard their religion and its prejudices with far more bigotry and trim Mm i than prevailed even among the population generally. An ordinary TTinon might be devoted to Brahmin iam, but he was never thought prone to revolt. A Sepoy Brahmin waa not a Brahmin only, he was a ready mada mutineer, and all the circumspection and obsequiousness of his mitten were perpetually required to prevent bim from taking fright, and from turning round on the strength of this panic and murdering those who paid and maintained him.

Old Indian rulers thought they had a traditionary" recipe for keeping him harmless, and they trace his outbreak to the neglect of their policy others say it wsa not really our policy at all which did the mischief, but a conspiracy by which that policy was designedly rnisrepretented. As a matter of course, in catting about for future guarantees the remediea suggested are drawn from the opinions maintained, and we are warned either to leave Hindooiim untouched, or to cease armo ring Mahomedan Principalities to the dominions of British India. One correspondent only hss taken a different view of the case, and, instead of troubling himself with security against fire, has boldly inquired, keep tht gvnptncdtr Here, indeed, is the question briefly stated. Let the reader observe that if we had not had a native army of 150,000 soldiers in Bengal, uncontrolled by any corresponding contingent of British troops, all our policy of civilization or annexation might have been pursued with the most entire impunity. We might have dethroned the Kings of OrDE long ago we might long ago have interdicted every infamous or abominable rite, and, if we could not have introduced the new cartridge, we at any rate should not have been punished by mutiny for the error of the attempt.

Sparks of all kinds would hare been harmless except for the gunpowder. When a man sits upon a barrel of that mixture he is proverbially anxious, but the position has seldom been voluntarily occupied, as it was by ourselves in India. Every argument and every consideration urged by Tndiant of the old school assume that in India we tread upon gunpowder at every step we take every one of these traditions of government points to the ncceaaity of unremitting caution in our actions. Vh itors, when admitted to a magazine, are required to oorer their shoes with list slippers, to take off all coats having metal buttons, snd to go through a series of observances dictated by the perils of the situation. Exactly after the same fashion did we proceed in India.

The Sepoy army for be it observed that the bugbear was always the Sepoy army, and never the native population kept us in a state of perpetual alarm. We could never tell at what moment an explosion might not take place, and to guard against the danger we disrobed ourselves of half the attribute pertaining to Christians and go vernor because Brahminitm waa so sensitive, but because Brahmini could intluence an army, that we have been driven to such indignities of policy and fared so ill for our pains. When theao conditions have I wen terminatod as they easily may be we can punuo our own course without much more concern for any Of the bugbears which have beset us through a century of Eastern rule. Wo hear that the Calcutta Government complains of the English public feeling in Calcutta as tar ago and vindictive, as al worried in a blind and undiscriminating exasK ration, as resolving itself into the mere hatred of a dark skin, into a pure unreasoning antipathy to the Hindoo. Thia, it it said, is very wrong, and not only wrong but foolish and impolitic.

As a matter of fact, the natives do not, as a general rule, itlike us or wish ill to us many of them have, in the very thick of these outrages, rescued Englishmen. It is unjust and ungrateful, then, to speak of all Hindoos as rebels and traitorm, but it is impolitic also. We want tho services cf the natives we cannot do without them. Whatever modification our Government and army may undergo there, the natives are necessary to us. The official link which connects the Engliah (Jovernment with tba people of India mutt he, to a great extent, of nativo material.

Who it to undertake all the lubordinate magistracies and coUectorships 1 Who is to do the servile work in campaigns, to say nothing of strictly military tervioe It is obvious that the English will sink under such Uliours. How will even the merchant and indigo planter buy or sell without the medium of the Banian, or the Gomashta, or the IXwanT Now, if this is Anglo Indian public feeling in the Peninsula, all we can say is, that so far from sympathizing with it, we would heartily join the Calcutta or eminent in modifying it. If this is a true representation of it Calcutta public feeling is very different from public feeling at home. There is this great difference, that public opinion here has always mads the distinction between a mutiny and a rebellion, between the soldier and tho ordinary native. We ourselves have all along expressly maintained that this has been a military revolt, not a national one.

Here there has been no feeling against the Hindoo at tuch. We do not say this at any matter of moral triumph over our countrymen in the Penintula. We can easily understand the sort of things that people say on the spot from sheer disgust, horror, melancholy, and temporary despair. Events strike much more strongly on the tpot. These Anglo Indian expressions of feeling are probably rather a vont to outraged humanity, just as ejaculations are to bodily pain, rather than deliberate statements.

The first idea which an earthquake inspires is to distrust the very solid globe itself when the earth hat once given way under one's feet, one feels as if one could never rely upon it again the very beauty of nature appears so much treachery, and under every smiling cornfield and glowing vineyard we tuspect a latent volcano. Persons who have been travelling in a train when an accident has happened, even though they have escaped hurt themselves, have felt a certain giving way of an inward railway faith, aa if they could never travel again! with exactly the same tense of security with which they travelled before. The English in India have naturally some of this feeling. The Peninsula was, to all appearance, quiet, prosperous, satisfied. English influence and English law were gaining ground every day, and the rule of a hundred years seemed to have produced as its results an established obedience and a natural loyalty, when the volcano burst, and the Sepoy mutiny diacloeed rebellion, barbarity, and revenge lurking in Hindoo hearta.

It is natural that under tuch circumstances tho Anglo Indian should feel his faith in the Hindoo shaken to its basis, and that he should say to himself, Well, it's of no use we have given them a good Government now for a con tury, and thia is the result." There is no wonder that he should for a moment despair, and that despair should speak in accents of indignation. The truth is that this sort of language expresses all sorts of feelings. Its uppermost expressions are these of burning resentment, but this very language of resentment is the vent at the same time to gloom and despondency. We do not lsy claim, then, to any moral triumph over Anglo Indian public feeling, but we must at the same time call attention to this distinction' between public feeling in the Peninsula and at home that we here have never been bitter against tho mere native. We have from the first stigmatized the outbreak as a military one an experiment of wanton ambition, the offspring of all those motives which produce military revolts rapacity, insolence, ferocity, and pauion.

But we have let off the native population at large, too easily some have said, who interpreted our consideration for the Hindoo as a mask and a disguise, which we wished to throw over the Indian outbreak itself, to conceal its importance and its depth. But, though we would caution our countrymen in India against an undiscriminating exasperation, which would involve mutineer and ordinary native in the same guilt, we do not go along with the Calcutta Government in its absurd attempts to hamper the military commanders in the execution of justice upon the mutineer. It is very easy for half a dozen civilians in a room to draw up a set of instructions, no single one of which will be open to objection, and yet the general effect of which will be to hamper military justice. To issue such a set of instructions, having avowedly for their object the mitigation and diminution of punishment, is at any rate to tell our Brigadiers beforehand that we suspect them that we think them savage, hard, unfeeling men, who, advantage. How much better, when armel 'A system of lifeboat establishments is maintained rebellion and outrage have put a country under to such effect on the eoaatt of these islands that military law, when ordinary civil justice is for its instrumentality is exceedingly conspicuous in the time neeaaarily suspended, and British rule the table of lives hsppfly preferred.

In the greater number of i i vi hn intruv ra irA. ot course, nas Deen uue we amau strongly we feel here against unnecessary barbari I craft of various kinds plying about, or to the boats of tics and undiscriminating vengeance Our Generals 1 the sinking vessel itself, but lifeboats alone saved in India are, wo fancy, fully up to this home 36 2 lives in the 12 months, and the apparatus oi standard they have no wish to violste it they 'mortars, rocketa, tc, employed from the shore as many as Jo more, remaps ii is noi voo much to conclude that where the agency of the lifeboat proved thus serviceable no other agency would have succeeded, and certainly there is none on which so much reliance can be placed in the most perilous class of emergencies. Harbours of refuge msy do much, but they must be far apart, whereas a lifeboat establishment can be formed almost any point of the coast, and is sure to nna tne immediate support oi acute tne louowing etlect and daring seamen. The only impediment The Atlantic arrived out on the morning of the to the multiplication of these establishments 12th it is therefore probable she will return on is a very surmountable one the want of money, x. Financial affairs were worse Western Canal flour, and the Koyal National Lifeboat Institution a barreL society which has benevolently charged itself with jhe Indiana would probably leave St.

John't for this good work appears certainly deserving of Southampton on the 13th. public support. There seems, indeed, hardly any limit to the reduction which may be accomplished in these annual disasters by the exercise of vigi lance beforehand and the proviaion of succour at all tiroes. Nearly two thirds of the catastrophes naturally want to stand well with the public when they como back here to enjoy their hard earned laurels. It is not likely that they would deliberately tarnish their good name by ferocious and bloodthirsty acts.

They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by such tactics. Shall we be told of what the 10th at DLnajxjre has just done This ii nothing to the purjute. We know that the English common soldier will behave at times with a wild justice, especially when ho has heard that the women and children of another British regiment have been massacred, after experiencing cruel indiinity and torture. But we are talking now of our Generls. They are tho persons whom theso instructions are meant to influence and we submit that they do not want these instructions, and know perfectly, well how to execute military justice solierly, temperately, and judiciously without them.

When a country falls naturally under military law, leave it to the action of that law. Military justice is not necessarily bad because it is not civil justice. It may be exercised with as much forbearance, in proportion to the circumstances with which it has to deal, as civil justice can be. Our Generals will not be able, perhaps, to check all brutality in their soldiers who can stop tho passion of an army in its very triumph, when, inflamed by wrong, it enters at last the devoted city There is a terriblo force in the swing of events, when, after the long whizzing circuit, it comes to its climax. But our Generals will, wo apprehend, do what they can, and do what English Generals always have done, to suppress as far as possible all that deserves the name of cruelty.

if lefl to themael rea. will maasacrc evervbodv thev What made the matter worse was, that I meetj ud overrun the whole country with fire and we took neither credit nor advantage by our care, The Sepoys discerned our terror, and read in it their own secret of power. They cherished and subtilized a propensity which paid them so well. It was enough to pretend alarm for their caste, and they could do as they pleased. Ours was the sceptre, but theirs the strength.

sword Fancy an English General, who has had the example of brave, noble, and benevolent cliiefs of the service before his eyes ever since his boyhood, being told exactly how he is to proceed, andeautioned at every step against punishing innocent men. Do not kill everybody you aeo if a man hat simply fed turkeys, or carved satinwood, or The pcsession, however, of this strength on I ornament! or broidered saddles for their part was a condition incompatible with any I the latt year, he is not to be hanged if you thing like security of government. We believe to a perfectly inoffensive village which it that no sedulity or care could for ever can 1 proved for certain has done no English have prevented an explosion, just as no man an harm, which ha. done nothinir for the precautions are sufficient to prevent gunpowder i jt months but grow rice, or tobacco, or cotton, from blowing up now and then. The real error ot policy lay in keeping up such a magazine.

Our thorough going cm respondent, to whom we have slready alluded, affirms energetically that no Sepoy army is needed at all, now that every province of India acknowledges our supremacy nflj even if this conclusion is somewhat too sweeping, it is, we think, clear to demonstration that such an army as we have been maintaining was not called for by the position of our Eastern or Indian wheat, do not bum it to athes, and put all its inhabitants, men, women, and sucking infants, to the sword." Did the inttructijns simply amount to this, tlieir very unmeaningneu would hamper our commanders, becsuss they would naturally suppose that the Government regarded them aa savage men, and would therefore weigh every act of seventy which they had to perform in a rigid and a suspicious balance. Generals who are not trusted by a Government act under a dis During the year 1850 ten lives upon an average were lost every week by wrecks and casualties at sea, within sight, as it may be said, of these shores. As this loot, however, is very considerably less, notwithstanding the increase in our shipping, than was usually experienced but a few years back, we should not perhaps bospeak any ipecial notice of the circumstances were it not for one or two of the features which characterize the return, and which appear to us of sufficient, importance to be impressed upon the public mind. It seems placed beyond a doubt, by the statistics which we have recently published, both that a large proportion of sliipwrecks still arise from preventible causes, and that the loss of life may bo still further reduced by tho energies and benevolence of the public. The ordinary conceptions of a shipwreck usually involve the idea of a tempest or a hurricane, with all the appalling accessories of thunder, lightning, surge, and foam.

Such a picture was given the other day in tho terrible story of the Central America steamer, and such, no doubt, is the scene occasionally presented nearer home. But the wrecks" to which we now invite attention are of a far more vulgar, though not leu shocking character. In many we are assured in most of the cases which occur in British waters the ship is endangered, not by the visitation of (ku, but the recklessness of man. The vessel hss put to sea in an nnseaworthy state, or the is badly found, or badly handled, or badly commanded. The consequence is that she runs aground, or catches fire, or is obliged to bo abandoned, or founders outright, and tho escape of her crew depends upon the chances of relief providentially afforded.

The elements really appear to play but a subordinate part in the aggregate of catastrophes. The entire number of casualties in tho year referred to was 1,153, and of theso only 121 took place during weather which in nautical estimate would amount to a storm. As many as 19 actually occurred in a dead calm, 58 in a light" breeze, 49 in a gentle" breeze, 9S in a "moderate" breeze, and 15 4 in a "fresh" breeze while only 492 happened during any of those atmospheric conditions by which sailors classify the successive developments of a gale." On turning to another table of the statistics in question wo soon discover why so little account need be taken of the weather. Excluding the results of collisions, 30S ships were totally lost, in addition to a still greater number damaged, during tho period under review, and of theso examples upwards of 20H can be referred to causes directly connected either with the worthless ncss of tho vessel or the incoinjHitence of her crow We give tho precise figures, because figures alone in such matters can convey an adequate notion of facts, and the reader will bo amazed, wo think, when we say that 17 ships jt of tho 3C8 were abandoned, and 37 went right to the bottom, timply and purely because they were unsoa worthy, or, in other words, ought never to have been sent to sea. Defective compaates and defective charts again come in for their share in the account, and the rest of the tale is made up of errors, neglects, and carelessness in their several forms.

"Stress of weather" in all its shapes can only bo charged with 148 of the catastrophes, but it in rather an encouraging feature in tho case that intemperance does not figure conspicuously in the work of mischief. Two only out of the mass of disasters are set down to this source. Tho facta above stated carry quite evidence enough of the proposition with which we commenced, and prove beyond question that a large proportion of the shipwrecks on theso coasts admits of prevention. Even thoso which are directly attributed to the fury of the weather might possibly have lecn in somo instances escaped with better veeaeb or better seamanship and it is painful in the extreme to reflect that, with a state of thinj like this, men should bo exposed to the penalty of imprisonment for refusing to proceed to sea in ships probably unseaworthy. As owners can be protectod by insurance there is no self interest at work to keep them in a proper course, aad the temptation to continue worthless vessels in use is constantly operating.

We aro told of a certain schooner so rotten that her own anchor positively pulled her bows out and that such things are likely to happen under such arrangements is su3i cicntly plain. It has been even inferred from the declared rate of mortality among ships that some of them must be kept alive and afloat beyond their appointed time. Out of 33,000 vessels and upwards known to bo existing in a particular year it is said that only 129 were broken up. Whether that number is below the proportion due to tho natur! infirmities of a ship is more than we can pretend to decide, but as a general principle it appears to us clear that if the insurance system destroys the precautionary motives which would otherwisa be at work the law should in some manner step in, and do as much for life as is already done for property. The other feature most noticeable in the accounts bufore us is of a more pleuing kind.
