THE WAR IN INDIA -

Many of our Maori readers have heard of
India, and of the war in which the English
troops are there engaged at the present
time. They have probably beard various re-
ports respecting the character and origin of
this war, and of the incidents which have
rnarked its progress. but it is scarcely pro-
bale that the imperfect information which
they have received has enabled them to form
very distinct or correct notions on the sub-
ject, though we believe very many of them
share in the deep interest felt by their Pa-
keha fellow Christians, and fellow subjects,
in the events which have occurred, and in
the steps which are being taken, to restore
tranquillity and order in India. We are
therefore glad to place in their hands a brief

TE WHAINGA KI INIA.

He tokomaha o matou hoa Maori kua
rongo ki te ingoa o tenei whenua, o Inia,
kua rongo hoki ki te whawhai e whawhai mai
nei nga hoia o Ingarani ki reira. Kua
rongo ano hoki pea ratou i nga tini korero
mo nga tikanga o tenei whainga, mo te take
hoki i timata ai, me era ata korero ano
hoki. Otira kaore ano pea ratou i tino ma -
rama noa, kahore ano pea i ata tika noa o
ratou whakaaro ki aua korero me nga ti-
kanga o tenei mea, ka pa tau, be tikanga
korero hoki a ratou i rongo ai. Tenei ma-
tou te whakaaro nei, he tokomaha nga ta-
ngata Mauri e rite tahi ana o ratou whaka-
aro me o ratou hoa Pakeha, hoa Karaitiana
huki, boa noho hoki i raro i te maru kotahi,
kei te pera tahi te whakaaro ki o reira ro -
ngo mo nga mea e meatia ana ki reira, ki te
mahi hoki e mahia mai nei hei whakatau
ano i te rangimarie me te ata noho ki Inia.
Na kona he hari to matou ki te tuku ki a
ratou i tetahi wahi korero mo tera whenua,
mo ona tangata, mo to Ingarani wahi i
whai tikanga ai ki taua whenua, me nga pu-
take o tenei wahi e tu mai nei inaianei, i mara-
nga ai, ko tenei, waiho nei hei whakaputanga
mo to Ingaranei kaha hei tami i tenei mahi

sketch of the country, its inhabitants, its
connection with England, and the circum-
 stances which have led to the present state
of affairs, and to the necessity for the adop-
tion by the British Government of active and
severe measures to quell the rebellion and
to punish those cowardly and treacherous
Sepoys who have outraged every feeling  of
humanity, and, in their actions, resembled
devils rather than men.

Our Maori readers will see that the war
in India is not waged against the people of
the country, who are happy and contented,
and quite satisfied to remain subject to the
paternal rule, and protected by the superior
power  of England. The enemy, it will be
seen, is a traitorous, overindulged servant
who has rebelled against his master who had
cared for, fed, clothed, and armed him, and
from whose hands be sought, by a sudden
and treacherous Mow, to wrest the sceptre
of the country and seize it himself. It will
be seen that he has failed, and that he has
already met a portion of his well merited
punishment.

England does not delight in war. She
engages io it only when compelled to do so,
either in self-defence or in order to protect
the weak from injustice and oppression by
the strong, as in the case of her recent war
with Russia. It became necessary also to 
take up arms in the present case to pre-
vent the anarcny and confusion which suc-
cess on the part of the, rebels most have
brought upon a people which Divine Provi-
dence has entrusted to Englanrd's care, and
for whose welfare and good government she
is responsible.

The diabolical cruelties perpetrated upon
the helpless and unoffending women and
children who fell into the hands of the re-
bels at the beginning of the outbreak, also
demand  heavy retribution, and the infliction
of suitable punishment is a duty devolving
upon the British nation, in the execution of
which she may confidently invoke the Divine
blessing upon her arms.

IN OIA.

India is a vast empire: it is said to con-
tain a million and a half square miles at ter-
ritory, and is inhabited by one hundred and
eighty millions of people, of whom one hun-

tutu, hei whiu hoki i taua hunga wawau,
kohuru nei, i nga Hipoi, na ratou nei te
mahi nanakia rawa; te whai hoki ki to te
tangata tukino, puta ke no nga tino rewera
rawa te ahua o a ratou na mahi.

Tena e kite o matou hoa Maori, ehara te
whainga ki Inia i te whawhai ki te tangata
whenua, he iwi pai hoki ratou, he iwi ata
noho, e pai tonu ana ratou kia tiakina tonu-
tia ratou e te mana nui o Ingarani, kia noho

tonu i raro i tona maru. Ko te hunga e
whawhaitia nei e Ingarani, be pononga i
tahuri mai ki te kohuru i tonu ariki, be po-
nonga ngakau kohuru ia, i atawhaitia paitia,
muri iho ka whakatika ka tahuri ki tona
rangatira nana nei ia i atawhai, i whangai,
i whakakakahu, i whakamau tonu ringa ki
te patu. Mea ana taua pononga kohuru, me
ohorere tana tahu ri ki te patu i tona ranga-
tira kia riro ai te mana o te whenua i
a ia. Heoi, kua kitea nei kihai i taea tana
hiahia, heoi ano tana i whiwhi ai, ko te
whiu anake, ko tetahi wahi o te utu tika mo
tana mahi whakatupu nanakia.

E hara te whawhai i te mahi whakahari
ki Ingarani. Heoi te mea e pa ai ia ki tera

mahi, ma era atu, e maka mai te he, he karo
kau tana, be mea ranei nana, be whakaora,
he awhina i te iwikore, kei tamia e te hunga
kaha, penei hoki me te whawhai ki Ruhia i
mutu tata ake nei. I tika ai te mau patu
inaianei, he mea hoki me i taea ta taua
hunga nanakia, tutu ra, kua whakatika nei,
penei tau ana te kino me te raruraru ki te
iwi nui ki te tangata whenua o Inia i tukua
mai nei e Te Atua ma Ingarani e tiaki e
whakahaere i runga i nga tikanga pai, a
waiho iho to ratou be hei be mo Ingarani,
nana i mangere, kihai i kaha ki te arai atu,
ki te pehi i taua hunga tutu.

Ka tika kia tino whiua rawatia era nana -
kia kohuru, hei utu mo a ratou mahi ko-
huru, mahi kino whakaharahara ki nga
wahine me nga tamariki hara kore i mau i
a ratou i te timatanga o to ratou whakati-
kanga; e pai ana ano hoki kia puta to
Ingarani inoi ki Te Atua ki te kaha kia
homai e Ia, kia to aai ia, kia kaha ai ki tenei
mahi, ki te takitaki i tenei hara nui.

dred and thirty millions are subjects of the
Queen of England, The speak eight differ-
ent languages and many dialects, and pro-
fess many religions, but the greater number
are Mahometans who believe in a false pro-
phet called Mahomet, and Hindoos, who
who worship abominable idols, birds, beasts,
and fishes, and almost everything under the
sun .

It is not easy to convey any idea of such 
a vast country, and such au immense popu-
lation; but we may form some notion of the
former by knowing that a mau on foot would
require six months at least to walk from South
to North if he travelled every day (Sundays
included) at the rate usual in that country
twelve miles a day. And with reference to
the latter we may observe that India con-
tains one hundred and eighty times more
inhabitants than Sydney, Melbourne, Ade-
laide, Tasmania, and New Zealand (Maories
and Europeans)—all put together.

There are very many great cities in India.
Calcutta, where the Governor General re-
sides, is said to contain a million inhabitants:

this may be called the European city, though 
there are not more than ten thousand Euro-
peans living in it. Benares is the chief city
of the Brahamins, or Hindoos; Delhi and
Lucknow are capital cities of the Mahome-
tans  each of these cities contain nearly half
a million of people. 

As the Mutiny in India has been confined
to that part which is called Bengal, we shall

etoru tekau o enei miriona tangata, kei raro
i te maru o te Kuini o Ingarani e noho ana,
nona era tangata. He mea rererere ke nga
reo, he iwi ano me tona reo, he iwi ano me
tona reo, ewaru nga tino reo, rere ke rere
ke, haringa ia nga wehewehenga i roto i te
reo kotahi, tona tini. Ko nga ritenga
karakia o era iwi he tini noa iho, ko te toko -
maha, e whai ana tetahi i te tikanga karakia
o Mahomete, poropiti teka, ko tetahi e whai
ana i to te Hiniru karakia, e karakia nei ki
nga whakapakoko whakarihariha, ki nga
manu, ki nga kararehe, ki nga ika o te
moana, ki nga tinitini mea o te ao nei, hei
Atua hoki aua mea mo ratou.

Ki te anga te tangata ki te korero i te nui
o tana whenua o Inia, i te tini whaioio hoki
o ona tangata, ekore e taea e te whakaaro o
te kai whakarongo, he tino nui hoki no
taua whenua, be tinitini hoki no taua iwi.
Heoi, ma konei pea taea ai tetahi wahi e te
whakaaro. Inana, me he mea ka whakatika
te tangata i tetahi pito i te taha ki te tonga
o taua whenua, ka haere waewae whaka te
taha ki te muri, haere tonu, ia ra ia ra,
kahore he ra noho, haere tonu, te ra noa te ra
tapu, marama noa e haere ana, marama noa,

tahi pito, ki te taha nota, ko nga maero
mana e haere ai i roto i te ra kotahi, kia.

te haere i raro. Na, ma konei hoki pea
taea ai tetahi wahi e te whakaaro te mano
tini o te tangata, i meatia ake nei, kotahi
rau ewaru tekau nga miriona. Rere, mehe
mea ka huihuia nga tangata o Poihakena, o
Mereponi, o Atereira, o Tahamenia, o Niu
Tirani hui tahi nga Maori nga Pakeha, hui

not here attempt to describe the two other
great divisions which are called Madras and

Bombay.

In Delhi,  the descendant of the Great Mo-
gul, or Emperor of Hindostan, reigned as a
King uma last year. In 1803 a great Ma-
haratia chief named Scindia, with an army
of 200, 000 cavalry, 20, 000 infantry, and
1OO pieces of artillery, conquered the great
Mogul, seized bis kingdom and the city of
Delhi, and kept the poor King in close con-
finement. ln his distress he appealed for
succour to the English, who seat General
Lake to fight against Scindia and his im-
mense army. Scindia's troops were many
times more numerous than General Lake's;
but the General beat him in two pitched
battles and took Delhi. Shah Alum (the
great Mogul) was then replaced upon his
throne, and a pension of £120, 000 a year
was secured to him and his descendants upon
condition of their being faithful to the Bri-
tish Crown. -Thus be exchanged a dark
prison and the ill treatment of the Mahrattas
for the honour and enjoyment of a throne.
The English also made the Nawab of Oude,
who had been but Lieutenant Governor un-
der the Great Mogul, King of Oude.

 Now, it will be asked, how did the Eng-
lish contrive to conquer and govern such a
vast number of people? The English have
never had more than 50, 000 European sol-
diers in all India, at first they had only very

enei pa etoru; erima rau mano ki tetahi,
erima rau mano ki tetahi.

Wehea ana taua whenua, a Inia, etoru
tino wahi, ko Penakara. ko Mataraha, ko
Pomopei. Ko tenei, me korero i konei ko
Penekara anake, no te mea kei taua wahi
anaka, te mahi tutu e pehia nei.

Imua he Epera to te whenua o nga Hiniru
Tona ingoa, ko te Mokura Nui. Mau tonu
i tona uri te Kingitanga taea noatia te tau
kua pahure ake nei. Ko Terehi te pa i noho
ai taua kingi. I te tau 1803 ka maranga
tetahi rangatira toa, no taua iwi no Maha-
rata, ko Hinia tona ingoa, haere ake o toha
ope erua rau mano hoia eke hoiho, erua tekau
mano hoia haere i raro, kotahi rau purepo.
ka haere ki te whawhai i taua Epara, i te
Mokuru Nui whawhai ana, a toa ana te ope a
Hinia, riro ana i a ia te kingitanga me te
pa hoki, me Terehi, a, whiua ana e ia taua
kingi ki te whareherehere. Na, tangi mai ana
taua kingi ki Ingarani kia haere atu ki te
whakaara ake i a ia i roto i tona he.
Whakaae  ana a Ingarani, ka tahi ka tukua
ko Henera Reika ki te whawhai i a Hinia
me tona ope nui whakaharahara. Ko nga
hoia i a Henera Reika kihai i pera te tini me
a Hinia, heoi, whati ana te ope o Hinia, e
rua nga tino parekura, riro ana te papa i a
Henera Reika, riro mai ana hoki te pa, a
Terehi. Na, ka whakahokia taua kingi ki
kona torona, aro taua Mokuru Nui, tona ingoa
ko Ha Aruma, whakaritea ana he moni mana
kotahi rau erua tekau mano pauna. moni i
roto i te tau; whakapumautia ana ki a ia -
aua moni hei moni mana,hei utu hoki i ona
tangata e piri ana ki a ia, engari, me
whakaae kia piri tonu ki Ingarani, kia pono
tonu to ratou tikanga. Na Ingarani ia i tiki
atu i whakaputa ki waho i te whare pouri,
whakanohoia honoretia ana ki runga ki te
torona o te kingi. Tera hoki tona Kawana
i whakanohoia e taua Mokuru Nui hei
Kawana mo taua whenua, mo Ura, tikina ata
ana, whakaturia ana e Ingarani hei Kingi
mo tana whenua mo Ura.

few. But the people of India soon found
that the religion of the Christians made them

act very differently from any of the Idola- 

trous Sovereigns who had hitherto ruled
over their country, and who were constantly
fighting one against the other—they there-
fore frequently invited their interference and
assistance, as the great Mogul entreated
them to save him from Scindia and the Mah-
rattas. To be able to do this the English en-
listed the Hindoos and Mahometans into
their army, and sent to each regiment a few
English officers to lead them and teach them
the art of war. These soldiers, called Se-
poys, and their English officers became very
much attached to each other. The Sepoys
were well paid, cared for when sick, and
pensioned when old. The English did not
in any way interfere with their religion, but
left them to choose for themselves—even
when their idolatry was of the most con-
temptible kind.

As more people submitted to the English

Government or sought its protection the
army increased in size until at length it

numbered 300, 000 Hindoos and Mahome-
tans and nearly 50, 000 English. The army
loved the Government under which it was

so well treated, and the English were proud
of, and attached to, their native soldiers.
For one hundred years the Sepoys had
served faithfully; all India was quiet, and
no one could believe it possible that soldiers
so treaded—who had fought and won hun-

dreds of battles for the English, and who
were decorated with medals, and had pen-
sions for their services and wounds—could
ever prove untrue to their salt.

AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, AND
MARITIME REPORT.

FROM THE 15TH TO THE 30TH JUNE.

The last advices received. acquaint us
that there is a tendency towards a rise in
the flour and corn markets throughout
Australia. This is nothing more than what
we ourselves expected; and our readers
need only turn to the February and March
numbers of the Maori Messenger, to discover
the grounds upon which we founded our
belief that a rise must inevitably take place.

We felt persuaded that the floods which,
last winter, washed away corn and corn
fields, followed by the intensity of the
summer's heat, and the prevalence of bush
fires, must have occasioned heavy losses to
the farmers, and that when the harvests
came to be correctly estimated, great short
comings would be discovered . These cal-
culations have now been made, a considerable
deficiency has been ascertained to exist, and
it is to be hoped that the New Zealand
growers wilt prudently and rationally avail
themselves of the Market that thus presents
itself for their surplus prodnce. The ad-
vance that has taken place, they. must, how-

ever, bear in mind is but slight, and unless
they are content to sell at a reasonable
figure, they may drive those willing to pur-
chase from the  New Zealand to the Chilian
growers. Flour is still 201 for fine, 181.
for second quality per ton Wheat 8s. to
8s. 6d. per bushel. A reference to our pre-
sent shipping report will show that a good
deal of business has been doing; and we beg
