After a detailed account of the difficulties imposed on each of the Indian railway companies, in their negotiations with the India-house, the article in question proceeds to a notice of the proposed lino for Upper India, for the execution of which a company has already sen formed here. The quotations ad duced in favour of the line, from the most inffilential Indian papers, including the Friend qi . India and the .Delhi Gazette, aro very striking. The fi rs t name d authority observes: The Agra Railway, if it extended no farther than Delhi, would comprise, as we have stated, 418 miles, of which 62 miles are below Allahabad, and 386 above it. The country above Allahabad is, perhaps, better adapted for the rail than any other part of India. 1 his line, which would run through the Dooab, presents almost a perfect level, and the fewest engineering difficulties to be met with in any part of India. It seems to have been especially formed by the hand of nature for railway operations ; uud the impedime,ts to be overcome arc so few, that the work might be completed within • very short period, and at a compart.tirtly small cost. It is probable that 7,000/. a mile would cos r every item of expense, and the whole line would, therefore, not require a larger capital than 3,000,0001. sterling. The Court of Directors have now discovered that money may be readily obtained in London, on the guarani( e of the revenues of India, at the rate of four per cent. (4' 7 . ) The risk to government in the co ns t ruc ti on o f a li ne fro m Mirza pore to Delhi would not, therefore, in the whole exceed 120,0001. • year. This risk, however, would be more nominal than real; the immense traffic of those opulent provinces, and the constant int er co urse which kept up among it s inhabitants, enables us to affirm, without hesita tion, that the returns from the rail, in the very first year of its operations, would completely cover this sum, and leave government free from all loss. • The Delhi Gazette, referring to the prospectus of the company, states: Every one who has travelled over the ground will udmit that the absence of engineering difficulties, which is hero so much dwelt upon (i.e., in the prospectus of the o;mpaity), is not overrated. Ilardly a bridge worthy of the name would be required from Allahabad to within twenty miles of Delhi, nor would a single brick have to be burnt for " ballasting," as kunker is to be found almost anywhere by the roadside. Indeed, the grand trunk road, widened a little, would afford ample room fur a single line of rail—and a single line, supplied with an electric telegraph, is al that for the present them is any occasion for. The quotations of stocks at Amsterdam on Mon day are thus reported by Mr. Reuter's telegraphic express :—llutch Four per Cents., 951-16; ditto, Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 64 11-16. Spanish De (erred 'three per Cents., 22 11-16. Mexican New, Portuguese New, 38:. Austrian Five per Cent. Metallize, 82 9-16. The Spanish Committee's Certifs., 5 1-16. At Vienna on Monday, the Five per Cent. Metallics were quoted 94t, and the ex change on London 10.51. The tendency of the Ans. trian money market is thus shown to be unfavour able. very considerable period. When the prisoner wu ap prehended a /1101 of 381. was found in his possession, sad it appeared that he at first applied Mr the restitusion of a portion of this money, to enable him to obtain legal assist ance, but he afterwards said that be should not employ counsel, that it was a clear ease, and that he should .not give the office any trouble. Mr. Payne addressed the jury, and having urged upon them the improbability that a man in the position of the prisoner should have risked his reputation and prospects for such trilling sums of money, he called several respectable witnesses, who gave him a most excellent character, extend , lag over a very long period. Mr. Justice Cresswel having summed up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended Um to mercy on account of his previous good character. There were two other indictments against the prisoner of a simil►r character, but they were not proceeded with. Sentence was deterred. 10 12 74 ! 76 } 53 69 76 76 01 6 i Pla 06 28 60 62 714 7.54 41 42 114 118 1.53 105 09 60 66 7 06 00 114 124 pal 77 78 4k 41 die 8,1 2t w ►S 154 1 24 pa 1051 1064 119 120 24 3 0111 69 14 90 14 u.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT A BOOKSELLERS.—This morning about two o'clock the families of Messrs. Barth. and Lowell, foreign booksellers, No. 14, Great Marlborough street, were alarmed by an outbreak of fire. It was dis covered raging in the countinghouse on the ground floor by one of the firm, who was unable to sleep, from a strong smell of burning wood. Constables and neighbours in stoutly repaired to King-street brigade station, when speedily Mr. Staples, the C foreman, with two engines and several Bremen, attended. By tbis time the contents of the counting-house were destroyed, and frightful ravage had been made among piles of valuable foreign books. Water was abundantly supplied from the mains, and with other assistance and groat exertion the flames were arrested in their progress, but not until several hundred valuable books had been destroyed and damaged, and the building had sustained serious injury. The firm is insured in the Sun and other °lces. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained. AN AUSTRALLLN EMIGRANT &M.—Letters have just been received in Southampton from Sydney, written by parties from that town, who went out in the ship called the Bank of England, which sailed in July last. Accord ing to these letters the voyage was a rather protracted one, and second and third class passengers suffered from over crowding. Sickness was rife during the voyage, and some deaths took place from disease and accidental drowning. Gambling was greatly resorted to by the passengers as a relief from the disc , mforts and tedium of the voyage. The wealthier passengers amongst the second and third class found great relief by paying one amongst them as a sort of servant to perform menial offices for a certain number. One of the letter writers recommends strongly no one who has been used to comforts ashore to emigrate unless they go as cabin passengers. When the Bank of England arrived at Sydney about sixty of her passengers proceeded to the diggings in New South Wales, but the weather was un favourable for the mines, so that they could not be worked with profit, and about forty of them returned to Sydney. One letter complains of the want of a copper coinage at Sydney. There is no possibility of giving or receiving small change, and its value has to be given and taken in ods FREE CANCER 11081'ITAL.—The first annual gene Tel meeting of the friends and supporters of this charity was held yesterday at the hospital,_ West 13rompton, the Hon. Colonel Ogle'' , in the chair. The report stated that the want of such an institution u tho Free Cancer Hos pital was shown by the number of applications for admis rions and the generous support which it had received from the public. 23 in-door patients were received into the house since its opening on the Ist of November last, and the committee were endeavouring to make arrangements for increasing the accommodation to 60 beds. Up to the pre sent time there had been 371 patients under treatment- The subscriptions and donations up to the 31st of December amounted to 2,8421.19 s , out of which the impulse of repair ing and furnishing the house bad to be borne. It was hoped that a longer expleismse of this formidable disease would lead to a better umberelanding of its nature and cha racter and to its messedd treatment. The committee ex pressed their obligates, ea the part of the charity, to the medical men, the treemeer, and the chaplain for their hono rary services. The report of Messrs. Marsden and Cooke, the surgeons to the charity, showed that the average age at which, aecoldisg on the statistics of the hospital, cancer attacked mankimi was 43, and that the complaint was more frmeent women than amongst men, the cases being in dm pegesliw of Gee if as tram to one of the latter. The records Odes beepilel awned to lead to thu conclusion that hereditary taint was by no mesas a necee =saw of cancer. Theeet-patients amounted to 371,000- of SS males and SS hunales ; the in-patients to 23, eesseisdag of 7 males mad le ammles ; making • total of 894 paths*, sossisekti 476 asks end 319 females. Of the ont-patienti, IS lei been iheliarged cured or relieved, 6 had been sumeennally operated on, 15 had discontinued at tendance, and 14 died. Of the in-patients, 7 had been dis charged cured or relieved, 3 had been successfully operated on, and 1 died. The total expenditure amounted to 2,3091. 195., which left a balance of bal. The reports and accounts were unanimously adopted. The committee of management for the ensuing year was appointed, votes of thanks were passed on Mr. Parkinson, the treasurer, on the surgeons, on Dr. Chambers, the consulting physician to the hospital, on the Rev. Mr.Petarson, the chaplain, Mr.Pariater, and the committee of management. The medical men the chaplain bore testimony to the great good effected by the institution, and recommended it to public support. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. THE PENALTY OF OREATNEBB.—ItIis a vulgar error to speak of mechanics, labourers in wood, iron, &c., as the working classes ; the term, if it has an cxcluaive plieatios, belongs to successful public men. Mr. Cobden, writing le a friend a few days ago, says—" I am in such a daily ' treadmill' of occupations that one task is constantly supereediag another, and, unless I can do whatever I hare to do at am, it is sure to be set aside by something she ;" and Vies-Cbaneellor Wood told his constituents last week that during the whole term of his office as Solicitor-asno ral he had only three weeks' holiday, and that it wee his constant practice to be on duty every day front nine in the morning until two o'clock the following morning. We know 4so of others well to do in the legislative world who yet more completely deserve the honourable title of "work ing men."—Wealsig AWL 100 VW.); 11ti;u71:1• t.iii: 42',1 Do., 2%0 ... ... . $4 Do. i4O ... .. all Imadaederry Ss Ceferadit all leadondrrot Eneusklien. 100 Idenen.,Shef.,iLuini.nab 41 Pb. lilan.ag Linal.

The rise in the price of this metal reported in the Express of this morning is the most considerable ever known as having occurred at once, but, notwithstanding the comparatively . high price to which copper bas at tained, there is a general impression that a further rise may be expected, and thus the chief holders of shares in copper mines refuse to sell at present prices. Transactions have taken place in South Basset at 675, 590; North Pool, 305, 310; East Wheal Rose, 230, 260; East Pool, 145, 150; Trelawney, 61; West Providence, 644; Comford, 65, 60; Dolcoatl, 571, 60; Pen y Gelli, 27; Wheal Mary Ann, 34 ; Alfred Consols, 164, 17; Bedford United, 91; South Tamar, 6 ; East Tamar, 2 ; Tamar Consols, 64, 1; St. Day United, 31, 4 ; Nantes, 2; Kirkcudbrightshire, 4,4; Kennegg7, 41. There is a partial suspension of operations in the gold mining shares, which show little movement. Great Nugget Vein shales were lower to-day, and those of the leas accredited adventures are flat, but the chief stocks are fairly supported. United Mexican shares are heavy.

TUESDAY EYININO.. The market for the home funds was again depressed this morning, but later in the day a better feeling was shown, and prices closed at a slight rally. The general tone of the markets, however, is un favourable, and speculation for a rise spears for the time to have received its quietus. Money was in more demand to-day, and the Bank of England is stated to be getting a fair supply of bills at 3 per cent. In the Stock Exchange money is still very easy, but this appears to be owing to the fact that the great majonty of the dealers are "bears," so that stock is temporarily scarcer than money. Amongst the unfavourable circumstances pressing upon the markets are the knowledge that the bullion in the Bank of England will show a further decrease in the next return a revival of the shipments of gold to Russia, to which quarter some rather considerable amounts were sent by the Hamburg steamer this afternoon; ai,d the absence of any real improvement in the ex changes. In spite of these circumstances, however, it is not thought in the best informed quarters that the Bank will venture on any further change in the rate of discount at present, but whilst the apprehen sion of such a measure is hanging over the markets the prevalent dullness can scarcely be wondered at. To use a Stock Exchange phrase, " things are now settling into their proper places," after the distur bance attendant on the change in the money market, and due time must be allowed for tho prows.. Consols fell to 99 this morning, but the govern ment broker and other buyers came forward, and the Price closed, *with a steadier appearance, at 99 3-16 to 1 for money and the 10th of February. Stock is atili wanted in this market. On the whole business was far from active, and chiefly for money. The official business report includes :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 991, 99, 1, s 1 ; ditto, for account, 99, 1. Three per Cent. Pt:educed, 995, 1001. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 103, 25, 35, 3. Long Annuities, 1860, 61. South Sea Stock, 1101. Bank Stock, 2285. There was a further fall of 2s. in Exchequer Bills to-day, sellers pressing up to the close of the market. The final quotation was 555. to 595. prem. India Bonds were marked 70s. prem. The foreign stock market is very dull. Spanish and Gmnadian Bonds were flat, and Mexican steady. Sardinian Bonds closed better, reaching 041. Turkish scrip receded to dis., owing to the news of the defeat of the Turks by the Montene grins, and the absence of any announcement re lative to the re-imbursement of the first instalment of the loan. Dealings are recorded as follows : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 102. Chilian Six per Cents., 107. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 66; ditto, Four per Cent. Certificates, 975, 5, 1. Ecuador Bonds, 51. Grarada Deferred Bonds, 105. Peru vian Deferred Three per Cents., 611. Sardinian Five per Cents., 941, 94, 941. Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 221; ditto, Passive (Converted), 35 • the Committee's Certificates, 45 per cent. Swedish Loan, 11, 2 dis. Turkish Six per Cent. Scrip, for account, 14th Feb., 1 die. Mr. Richard Thornton, in his capacity of chairman of the ciminittee of Portuguese bondholders, has drily lodged his protest at the Portuguese Fivancia' Agency, through Mr. Dennison, the notary, against the compulsory deduction of 25 per cent. from the dividend due the Ist January', i 833, and also against the absolute non-payment of any portion of the two years' dividends that had previously accrued. The committee recommend the bondholders to take the 75 per cent. of the dividend in part payment of their claim, but not to part with their original securities by joining in the new iniquitous conversion lately decreed by the government of Portugal, without iu any way asking the consent of the creditors. Some of the bondholders appear to be under the impression that they cannot receive any dividend whatever unless they acquiesce in the con version, but this is a misapprehension. The Portu guese government directs, with unparalleled effron tery, that such bondholders as shall refuse to bring in their 4 per cent. and 3 per cent. bonds for conver sion arbitrarily into a 3 per cent. stock at par, shall nevertheless be considered as having accepted the conversion, and shall in future receive only the re duced rate of 3 per cent. It is of course as much in the power of the government of Portugal to make a decree of this kind, as it would be for them to go one step further and repu diate the debt altogether, but that dishonest state is yet powerless to compel its creditors to part with their bonds, which it is to be hoped they will one and all retain, as it cannot be supposed that the present flagitious and unconstitutional pro ceedings of Queen Donna Maria's government can meet with permanent success. We understand a memorial, calling the attention of the British go vernment to the flagrant violation of the rights of British subjects, holders of Portuguese Bonds, has already been drawn up, and will be presented on i the meeting of parliament. After the official hours this afternoon, there were buyers of Australian Agricultural shares at 233; ex the new shares the price was quoted 75 to 85. Sales of South Australian Land shares were pressed, and the price fell 41., closing 43 to 45. The shares of the London Chartered Bank of Australia were rather firmer ; and those of the Union Bank of Aus tralia 10s. lower than yesterday. In addi tion to the dealings elsewhere recorded, there were transactions as follows :—Char- tered Bank of Asia (51. paid), 4 ; Provincial Bank of Ireland, 481; Victoria Docks (21. paid), 3,1 4 ; Crystal Palace, 5 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 87 ; Royal Mail Steam, 821, 82 ; Scottish Australian Investment (U. paid), 3. There were also dealings in Southampton Dock shares at 39. These shares have undergone a very remarkable fluctuation within a comparatively short period. The price, with 501. paid, was quoted twelve months ago only 18 to 20, and, after ascending steadily to 43, has since slightly receded again. The earnings of the Company for nine years show a progressive increase, being as follows :—ln 1844, 4,0181. ; in 1845, 8,9771.; in 1846, 13,2031. ; in 1817, 17,3341. ; in 1848, 19,5341. ; in 1849, 20,5431. ; in 1850, 20,6141. ; in 1851, 26,3911. ; and in 1852, 30,1501. Holders express a confident belief that the future earnings of the Company will experience a great augmentation, owing to the preference given to the port of Southampton by the several steam packet companies, in addition to the increas ing trade with France. The Peninsular and Oriental Company have just doubled tho number of their vessels upon the Alexandria line, and the large fleet of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company has only commenced running this year. In addition to this, the government has adopted Southampton as an emigration port. Ebro Canal shares are quoted to 11 prem. ; Chiriqui Road, pal: to prem. ; French South Eastern Railway, g' to a dis.; London Bank of Australia and India, dis. to par. At the close of business, the shares of the Scottish Australian In vestment Company were quoted 11 to 11 prem., ex div. and ex new. In the market for foreign exchanges this afternoon the change in rates was confined to Austrian places and Frankfort, which were higher, there being a fair supply of bills. The rates on Paris, Amsterdam, and Hamburg were unchanged, although the ten dency in the last-named case was slightly upwards. On the whole, therefore, this market may be said to remain in an almost stationary position. Our list of the prices negotiated is as follows ' " • - _ Time. Prices as negotiated this day.

The object of these lines is shown below : RAILWAYS IN COOSIII OP IN MADRAL—In June, 1862, a guarantee of 4} per cent. was granted on 600,0001. for ninety-uine years, for a line to be determined on. M ajor Pears estimates wet at less than 3,0001. per mile for a single line. IN BoxnLT.—Commenced operations in 1848.9. From Bombay to Callyan, thirty-five miles in length, 500,0001. has been guaranteed five per cent. for ninety-nine years. First estimated cost 16,0001. per mile ; 14,0001. has sufficed to finish a few miles traversed by an engine. Present capitel apparently enough to finish section. IN BENGA.L.--Commenced operations in 1848-9. From Howrah to Pandoosb, forty-two miles (trunk line). From Pandooah to Raneegemge collieries, seventy-nine miles (branch) 1,000,000/. already expended-260,0001., required to complete above section and branch. Five per cent. has been guaranteed for ninety-nine years on both sums, i. e. on whatever amount be required to complete the railway works. In October last 4} per cent. was guaranteed for ninety-nine years on 1,000,000/. to mete an additional sec tion towards Itsjatahl. THIS DAY—Two o'CLock.

The Wheat trade was not worse this morning than on Monday last, and it is our impression that prices have seen their lowest fora time to come. Flour was held firmly at former prices. At the reduction noted in Barley on Monday last there was a tolerably good sale this morning. At Monday's decline, Oats also were in good demand, and we may shortly look for some improvement in value. Beaus and Peas steady, at late rates. ARRIVALS INTO LONDON FROM 31st JAN. to Isil FEB. Ctr.

NEW APPOINTMENTS AT TUE MINT.—It is un derstood that the Treasury has determined to increase the number of employes at the Mint, with the view of quali fying the newly-appointed clerks, &c., for employment in a new Mint establishment which the government con template forming is Australia. The proposal is to remove certain clerks from the various government offices to the Mint, and place them an probationary duties, in order that they may be qualified for the new service. A few selec tions have already been made from the census and regis trar General's Offices, where there exists an excess of extras or supernumeraries, whose term of service will expire with the close of the current year. UNIIAPPY END OF A FESTIVAL.—The second, or, as it is called in Germany, the golden marriage of an old couple, who had been already united for 53 years, took place a few days since at a small Prussian village of Nes vriller, a short distance from the frontier. The religious ceremony took place in the church of Merlebach, in France, after which the party proceeded back to Naswiller to par take of the wedding feast. During the evening a trial of skill in singing was proposed, after which three brothers who were annoyed at being beaten fell on the man who had been declared the victor, and after beating him severely with their fists, stabbed him through the heart with a knife. They then ran off, but two of them were soon arrested, and the third was found hanging in a wood quite dead. 13 I TS Tj STI
