On the 15th inst. Mr. A. II. Nixon, from

WThereas, great disturbances have ariseii In
the Old World in consequence of the refusal
of the Czar of Russia to accept the note of
the Allied I'owers, and the subsequent inva
sion of Turkey by that power; and whereas,
we believe that it is the manifest intention of
the Czar, to destroy the nationality of the Tur
kisl empire, and annex its territory to the
emjire of Russia,. thereby creating a dangerous
monopoly, and endangering the balance of
lower in Europe", and the peace and harinotiy
of tie world; and whereas we deem it the im
perative duty of this Legislature to protest
jigtinst the aforesaid aggressive policy of the
C;ar; and whereas we believe it was "the duty
of the executive of Russia to, have agreed to
the ultimatum of Turkey, as recommended
by the neutral powers; and whereas we can
t.ct, with due regard to our honor, and our
antecedents, calmly submit to the annexation
of any more territory to the empire of Russia,
believing that the empire is already sufficient
ly large. Therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives,
tle'Senate concurring therein, That the course
pirsueel by the Czar of Russia upon the 'Tur
k's h question meets with our unqualified dis
approbation. R. solved, That in our opinion it was the
iiity of the executive of Russia toliave agreed
t the ultimatum of Turkey, and settled the
question upon the basis therein proposed.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the an
nexation of any more territory to the empire
of Russia, deeming it inconsistent with our in
terest and the progress of democracy in Europe.
Resolved, That the Czar be respectfully re
quited to evacuate the Principalities- as soon
as le shall receive a copy of these resolutions.
acso'.ved, That we look upon the Prime
Minister, Nesselrode, as entirely unfit fur the
pos.tion he occupies, and would suggest that
lie q immediately dismissed.
Resolved, That if the government of Rus-,
mh shall still ndhftroto the iHnlicy of annexing
Turkey after the receipt of these resolutions,
we would respectfully suggest, with all defer
ance to the right of that Potter,-that the prin
ciple? of the Missouri compromise be extended
over all the territory acquired from Jiiikey.
Resolved, That the Governor be required
to forward to the aforesaid Czar a copy of the
above resolutions.
India.
The population of India is estimated at
about one hundred and twenty millions, and
embraces not less than a dozen distinct na
tions, and four seperate religions. They dif
fer much in personal appearance, the natives
of the. northern countries being fairer, better
formed, and more robust and energetic than
those of the south, who. with the exception of
some of the Malabar tribes, are of small stat
ure, darker, effeminate, cunning and timid.
Other countries have their aristocracies of
different kinds, but in none is the separation
between man and man so marked as in India.
Here what i3 termed caste rules the whole so
cial fabric with an iron hand. The number
of these castes, properly speaking, is four.
The Brahmins, or, priests; the Cshatryas, 'or
military class; Vaisyas, or merchants; and the
Sud'as, or laborers. Beside these four there
are many half castes formed by the ad-mixture
ot the original. Below all are the Pa
riahs oV outcasts, a class that Hindoo society
excludes and 'whom it denies every right of
humanity. Of thc other castes the Brahmins
are the first -in point of dignity, and are re
garded by the mass with an estimation little
short 6f sanctity. The Cshatryas, though in
ferior in the social scale to the Brahmins,
maintain an exalted rank in public estimation.
The name, which signifies Vthe sons of Kings,"
implies a boat of their honorable descent from
tlbi ancient Rajahs; The Naisyas, or mer
chants, are numerous, in the cities, particular
ly on the coast, bntlicir character is general
ly low for probity and honesty. The Sudras
include the cultivators of the ground, and
nearly all who engage in mechanical employ
ments. .
These four great divisions of society in In
dia are defined with the most scrupulous ex
actness. To some, one occupation is forbid
den. ' In another case, the same imperious
tule "operates to prevent access to different
pursuits. But to the mixed classes all are
open, and in times of scarcity, or -in cases of
individual distress, the rules of caste may be
so far relaxed, that the person may descend
to the employment of a lower rank, or a Hin
doo may exercise the offices of the class to
which he is related on his mother's side. -No
jHiTson out of the caste of the Brahmins can
hope to exercise the sacred privileges bestow
ed upon them. ' Below the Sudras jn the so
cial scale, stand a mixed class. Pariahs, the
offspring of a father pflhejlpwest of the four
castes, and a mother of the highest rank.
The most menial and slavish offices aro per
formed by these persons. They are prohibit
ed from "living in towns, and compelled to
turn aside when they meet with their superi
ors in rank. - Another chiss which occupy a
low position in the social. scale are the .? AVag-;
heries." : These men are hunters, and are pop-!
ularly regarded as outcasts- Their habits of
living ujon the; spoils of the chase fill the
letter caste Hindoos with horror and loathing.
These men hare a bright, restless eye, anef a
wileand independent bearing. The expres
sion of their feature is strongly marked, and
gives, indication in thepossesspr of more pow
erful passions than is common to the geneal-itr-of
Hindoos. -" r-
Persons who live under, republican institu
tions have nd adequate conception of the vast
influence the castes' have had upon the people
of India. The system is interwoven with Tall
religious rights, ideas and itistitutipus, aud the
whole social fabric is permjateel and has been
sustained by these well elefined extinctions.
Under the influence of the;East India Compa

Eiid or the Gardiner Trial,
On Friday last the jury .brought in a ver
dict in this case, and amidst a -vast assem
blage, theforetnan pronounced the; word "Guil
ty." There: was feeling exhibited among the
spectators, . , j j
Mr. Bradley stated that the coimsel had pre
pared to file a bill of exceptions, and preferred
to have judgement pronounced at once. Ac
cordingly, Dr. Gardiner being-required to stanel
up and receive the sentence of the law. Judge
Crawford addressed hihrs' follows:
"You have been convicted by a jury of your
country of the crime of false swearing, touch
ing, the expenditure, of public money, and in
support of a claim against the United Suites.
Perjury; in its nature and general sense, strike's
at the root of all the securities which society
is bound to extend to ahejj maintain ; around,

that surrounded you, tj a person of your con
ceded ab lity, would.bo usirh s; or vain; use
less, if they have arisen in ybur own mind; vain,

or adroitly .pursued for. years, and at length
executed, or vith whateycrj'sucdvss for a ti un
attended, can be so ctiniiiu:lv 'devised as to
escape detection. Tlie un.xample.el ing 'Liiitv,
or the net woik spread out om this trial, and
the fact that it has b-en exposed at the la-t
staore, ought r.ot to fail of a beneficial effect n
convincing all men that, if jt hey will .-trample
on laws, human and divine!; thev shall, suffer
for it.
uTlie sentence of the court is that you suf

The intelligence of thp finding of th jury, im
mediately 'spreael throughout the ci! v and oc-'
"casio!iel t ot a little surprise, .the 'community
being unprepared -for tlie verdict, well remem
bering the history of the pst hi this case.
Tlie public had scarcely recovered from their
surprise, before 'it' became, known 'that a short
time oniy alter nis arrival aim; j an, me pris
oner was -seizeel with violent convulsions, which
continued several hous, ainl ended in death.
The ideceaseel was tliirtysix years of age, of

manners were courteous, and, apart from, the
crime with .which he was charged, he Should
probably, have been considered) a geritleinau

respondent at London sefcds the. JjTew York
Tribune the following account of the anti-shav?
ing movements'in.that couservative kingdom:
"England will shortly be ablel to beard tile
world in arms. Capillary attraction is in
creasing rapidly. The .barbers' recently struck
against the public and halfpenny shaving, and
now the public strike against the barbers and
intimate that they elon't tare, a half-penny.
Altogether, our mustache Xriovement may be
denominated a barbarous j proceeding. That
