      scaffold he expressed a hope that a shrine might be huilt over his remains ! The authorities , however , committed his carcase to the flames . — Lahore Chronicle ^ *

      The Nana Sahib " Wanted . "—It is high time indeed that the telegram should announce the capture of the man who of all men that ever existed has done most despite to England . It seems almost impossible that the slaughterer of Englishwomen and infants should still Jive to renew- his defiance to our arms . Yet so it is : he that more than two years ago deluged Cawnpore with English blood is still a king , still the leader of a host , still mocks at and insults the power which so long ago menaced him with instant vengeance , still has with him English captives , and still fosters and builds up the hopes of all who h . ite the English name . We must be pardoned if we think the triumphs of our armies brilliance the

      are shorn of half their so long as Nana survives , and we may be sure this , too , is the universal thought of the natives of India . It may be said , however , that it is easy to censure ; not so to point out what should be done . Look back to the Affffhan war . When Dost Mahomed , a far more formidable antagonist than the Nana , fled from Cahoot ,- more decisive measures were undertaken against him . A body of cavalry were selected for the pursuit , led by the Bayard of India , Sir James 'Outrcm . Had it not been for the treachery of Haj i Khan Kakar that pursuit would have been successful . A similar exploit might be attempted now , with far greater prospect of success . The fastnesses

      of Nepaul are not such that a fugitive could easily extricate himself froni them , and to fly further east would be to hasten to certain death amid the snows of the Himalayas . A thousand picked cavalry , a Ghoorka regiment of infantry , would suffice for the undertaking . Promise two lakhs to the troop or company that takes the Nana , and 1 , OOOZ . and the "Victoria Cross to the officer who leads them , and the troops that cling to him now will soon be scattered to the winds , and their chief slain or a prisoner . The / capture of the Nana thus achieved would do as niech as to restore the prestige of England as the appearance of a fresh army in the field . —Homeward Mail , October 17 .

      The Sepoys and the Nana . —The inhabitants of the . Deokurh valley were induced to feed the Sepoys on credit , commencing about three months ago , on the understanding that they should be paid at the end of a month . Finding ; they have not received a pice , they refuse to feed them any longer , and thus the rebels are obliged to take what they require by force . Such influence has the Nana still with his wretched followers thfct they believe he will lead them against the British at the end of the rains , when their pay will recommence . Meanwhile they do not thrive on scanty supplies of rice , which is their only food , and malaria is gradually thinning their numbers . We see not why , six weeks hence , the Nana ' s promise to his men should not be made true . Xiet them come into contact with the British .

      We cannot continue always being trifled with thus . So loiig as Nana Sahib is in Nepaul , the disaffected of India—and they are , not few—will believe his lies and trust his promises . He is their hope in the second rebellion to which they look forward , and for which Lord Canning is enabling them to strengthen themselves . If Jung Bahadoor will not discharge an ally ' s duty , he must be persuaded into allowing us to do the work for him . Let a hilt expedition of Sikhs and Europeans be organised ; let them scour the valleys with a * few light guns , and clear the country of men who are too proud or too guilty to be iorgiven . Hill warfare made the heroes of the Punjaub "; here is work quite as pleasant and far more exciting 1 for tlie next cold season . —Friend of India .

      VICTOR EMB 1 ANUEL AT GENOA . The municipality of Genoa having presented the Kina ¦ with an address his Majesty observed thai , the cause ot Italian independence was the cause of justice , and that he would continue to defend it to the utmost of his tower . His Majesty spoke nlso of the moral and material assistance he had received from the Italian people , recalling acts of " valour iand ; heroism on the part of the soldiers and volunteers , adding that the , Genoese soldiers and those of Rivieres ceded to none when danger was to be encountered ; but much vet remained to be done .

      the difficulties and obstacles to be surmounted were Tumerous ; but he hoped that with resolution , union , nnd perseverance ,, the lawful wishes of Italy wonld l > e ap ^ anted . " Certainly , " added his Majesty , "there are questions which are solved much more promptly on the battlefield than by means of diplomacy ; but - \ ve hope , nevertheless , that a satisfactory result will arise from the latter , since our cause has with it the sympathies of Europe . " The King : also addressed some friendly words to the Mayor of Brescia , and to the deputation from Bergamo .

      PRUSSIA AND RUSSIA . A Berlin letter of the 17 th states : —< ' The Prince Regent will certainly be at Breslau by the middle of the week to receive tlie Emperor Alexander . These two pTinces , closely connected- by family ties , have always been on very intimate terms , and may so much the more easily come to an understanding on political questions that there is now no cause of dissent between Prussia and Russia . They will probably decide on tb . fi line of conduct to be followed by both countries in tho questions which the Congress will have to settle . . Their union cannot , it is believed , be otherwise than favourable to the wishes of the Italian party and the policy of France . It is on account of the Kind ' s health that the Emperor ot Russia does not come to Berlin . But the 3 rd Regiment of Hulans , which belongs to him , and is now in garrison in the vicinity of the Prussian capital , has been sent ott to Breslau , to be reviewed there by the Emperor .
