STEVENS, CM Com. Council Revel Itsvssfs, A curious feeling with regard lo retaliation, rather re rouge, exists among the tribes in India. These people believe that it is far more vere punishment to the person who has in. Jared them to rum their fate hereafter, than to inflict any evil on theid in this world. I will here give a short sketch of a scene, for the truth 0 which I can vouch.

In tho first place, tho monies raia. ad oa tax accounta are specifically appropriated, and cannot ho spent otherwise than for spec, fie objects. As fur instance, tho appropriation for the Fire Department cannot bo applied to tho grading of Fort Green. Tho second answer is, that upon the balanco so remeioing unexpended there are bills yet to ho presented and drawn for, though not to a largo amount la addition lo ibis, the act authoriaing tha issue of the bonds create tho Joan for the purpose of impro-ting tho public property, end therefor they were appropriately applied in the present eaae.

They were morally bound not to do this, if they believed, with tho organ, that the purpose to which they were to be applied, were unlawful.

He was selected lor the Hwtt an activ and sealoua young uixii, who would carry the ordera of Government into instant effect and, aa these orders atrictly enjoined bun to be uaremitting in hie endeavours to bring th defaulter, huso ar. fears had bean long accumulating to instant nttlcmcnt, it may be confidently asserted that the situ-ation in ah ch he was placed waa any. thing but a bed uf roses. Taking tower round hi district, he person, ally inquired into sach case, and, amongst oth-era, ordered a unlive, named Jessurie Synd, instantly to pay up tho debt ho oweJ to Govern-mem. Jeeserie of courso pleaded poverty, de.

dared his tola) inability to liquidate th debt, tnd threw luiuadf on the compassion and mercy of 1I10 collector. A young hand would have lean deceived by tho apparent despair of the supplicant. Tomlinson, however, was too old 1 soldier to be duped so lie ordered tho man t) surrender taiiusolf as a prisoner, or instantly to pay down the inoiiC). 'Phe wily Indian saw that the European waa not to be decreed; as with a look of foiled hypocrisy and malice he uiatantlv counted duvwi the number of rupees required, end, with many a aalaam, the collector to the end ol hia village, whence, as noun ns he was out of hearing, he poured out cn Iiiiii volley of maledictions, beyond the power of an Englishmans pen to transcribe. Tho following year Major Tomlinson held a court, to huh tha native were desired to come, in orlor to receive (as fur aa I can recoiled) some Government order, or it might have been to pay their duea.

The fact is of little consequence suffice it to aay, they were ordered to attond, and they did to accordingly. Tho collector was silting in hia verandah, Ina nor ret ary and aaaistant with several of hia housihuld around him, when, amongst those who presented themselves before him, Jesserie ml appeared, bearing his infant child in hia arms. Tho major had holly forgotten him, and the manner in winch lie had been compelled to enforce tha payment of his arrears; nor would he now have recognised him, had ho tiot boldly advanced to the loot of the stone steps, at the top of which the collector was sitting, aa I before stated, hearing and adjudging tho several cases that came before him. Do you remember me, sahib demanded the native, salaaming to the ground. Does the great Englishman remember the poor Indian who laat year was made to pay the long arrears! Surely, replied Tomlinson.

I am ho, worthy collector, I am he, who had his evory pice faimallcoin) taken from him, whoti the child he now bear in his arms and hia old father were alinoet starring. I am he, who at llol miinnt maHa tmur In th gmi, his failiars that he would live to be revenged on the destroyer of his fortune and Ins happiness, and thus I accomplish my oath. The collector startod up, fancying tho man was about to assault him. ilo, on the othor hand, calmly stopping one pace back, suddonly raised his child high above hie Load, and, seizing it by its ankle, in the next instant dashed out its brains on the step before which ho was standing. Then, turning to tho horrified magistrate, ho calmly added, Heboid my act of retaliation The child that lies dead before you was my only one, my own.

I have destroyed it I have sacrificed it to the god of ven-gnance, and its precious blood be on your head! You are its precious murderer; I have killed it in your name.
