Ir to have grand opportunities is to have grand fortune, two of our countrymen are fortunate men, Mr. JAMES WILSON and Sir N. FREE will now show what they can do in positions in which they must succeed or fail conspicuously. Sir H. Flame has already proved in Scinde that he can appreciate Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S policy in the Fint of the creation of wealth es in other respects ; and we hope great things from his carrying his convic tions and his experience to the Supreme Council, where such a rinsovatios as his protean implies ought to be acesediagly welcome. Mr. Wit son's appointment is a yet more serious matt-r. Nothing more grave mild happen to himself than becoming Chamonix of the Exchequer to India at the pessent juncture; and no appointment could be of mem musequence to the nation at large. It is said of tbecorresposdieg post et home that no man's fitness can be judged of otherwise than by trial. In no other Mike is it so impossible to intim.% pato what the now official will turn oat. A man may have shown himself mister of his business in every lower department of the same function, and have excited the highest expectations among all observers, end yet it is an even chance whether he turns out helpless or efficient. If it is so in England, the chances would seem to be strongly against success in India : but what an opportunity it is 1 A man with a spark of public spirit, or even personal ambition, may well embrace with eagerness the barest possi bility of such greatness as would be won by the retrieval of Indian finance, which, under the circum stances, means the retrieval of one of the grea countries of the world, and the salvation of hundreds of millions cif people inhabiting it, sad amseetsd with it. A mu who loves his country sad mere& hirseelt, will ran herd risks of failure for the remotest choose of sash a messes as this. We, fee ear part, have steadily believed this penalties SWUM to be triads human reach; mod nothing that we have heard lately bas at all altered or ocevieties. We admit that • comprehensive mind, well Maimed is miememde seirrice, is requisite; end with It a saes sad bomb power of overecousiag nisistaase, sad • special legs city in the choice and messgement of instrumests In abort, the same qualities are requ;site that we see in action on a smaller seals is mess of private finan cial success at hem.. Them qualities. msguified to meet the getout of the seemiss, might. we are eve fidget, save led* develop bee resources, pay her debts, sad mist her the meet opulent and wealth meeting of the territories held under the British aroma. No rudest observer would say of any man that he was fit for such a function ; bet every good patriot would irecourage a promising aspirant to hope and attempt everything : for by hops and sourer, only as other qualities be elevated to the height of the °cession. The first mord' ration perhaps le that the sac awful financier of India most take the largest view of what may possibly be done. The debt will never be paid by Nadir( only the existing methods sad ardlnery resources. No twieting and turret, me shopping and ebaning among the familiar element" will peeler the weeded wealth. To stimulate the yield of a tee here, and to "memoir a branch of eapeeditnr• there, may be a good thing, and a very peeper thing to do, red a wrong thing te neglect ; bat it will not retrieve the fortunes of India. The ern who would do that must be strong enough to take up India, m it were, in his hand, and weigh it, and prove it, and see what can be made of it, testing it by the principles of science in a new apparatus of informer,. Plainly speaking, be most UBO all that has been hitherto known and done about iodise revenue as so mach indication of the new methods to be adopted, not u so much precedent authorising • continuance in methods which are letting the country down deeper into debt every year. The heeler line of the whole question of making India self-supporting and prosperous sterna to be Within it are comprelieeded all other oar &retire. " What is the land? aid what ese be dose with it by the people upon it ?" This is the fundamental inquiry with regard to all countries, became the land must elevate the people op to a certain point before they can reach other sources of revenue. Moreover, the land is the one single ele ment which tends always to increase in valuer at jeer while the people upon it are rising to a higher point than men are yet seen to her attained. This being universally agreed epee, it is established that the way to redeem to the utmost the burdens of any people is for their government (whatever it be) to be promised of land, as a means of ever expanding revenue. The most fortunate circurastancec . that could blew any young State is laid dowo to be the power of retait; log land, the yalae of which inseams with the public seeds. Looking at India u if it were now put afresh into our hands for management, we find that in Bengal, the most highly cultivated parties of it, 30 millions of acres are lying waste; that is the Madras Presi dency, thrte-tourthe et the land remain undeveloped; that in Beeshey, nearly half stands over se a future resource; while in the North West Provisoes there am, actually purveyed and unlet, above 10,000 square miles of cultivable land. Here alone imam inexhaust ible fountain of wealth. The Madras portion aloe*, if let on the terms which are found to answer beet— those of the North West Pro, incur—woe Id y ieldt h rye. fourths of the entire Indian land revenue of 1836-7. The Wage lands of the whole country in. clod* more wealth than laths or any other country ever yet esjoyed. The northern part, from Bedew upwards, yielded in AuttumGztez's time a revenue somewhat exceeding ours of the present day. His was thirty-eight millions sterling, and ours is under thirty-seven millions. We have all bis meur, and se much besides uthientific aricaltnre and the prin ciples of good government pat into our beside. Two considerations follow—hew to exercise the most effectual command over the eadeveloped land, and how to increase the value of the whole, since upon these depend the ex!eemile of commeree, and all the ree , tirees of revenue widdietarise• pas sp. A " A° *ft.V. financier worthy d the time and place will see—and will cases Government to ase—that an absolute and irretrievable sale of land waald now be both a folly and a crime, while all the objects of absolute possession may be secured to the holder by wies and favourable terms of settlement ; and that all lands held without fulfilment of the con ditions, or by mere encroachment, moat be looked after, IS Sir CH...ILES TREVELTAX proposes and intends. The more reasonable and profitable to the holder the terms on which lands are let, the more rapidly does cultivation spread; and a financier who is adequate to his office will study, and probably find, the means of easing and elevating the cultiva tor, by the same method which will turn the wastes into fertile and peopled lands. The power of doing this is one which Government should never part with. Next follows the duty of improving the con ditions of agriculture—that is ramifying out public works, which invariably augment the demand for land, and presently pay their own expenses by in creased production, if not by direct profit. If we had room to exhibit the items of profit from works of irrigation, and from canals and roads, and to show what moat inevitably be the results of car rying such works into certain new regions, no reader would doubt the future fortunes of India, unless by the most obstinate blindness and fully in the choice and conduct of rulers. elm Can.

CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. We published the following in a portion of our edition yesterday : MARSEILLIIB, TUIIIDAY MORNING. Th., Valetta arrived here at 7 a.m. The mails leave for London at 10 a m. Letters will be in the City an Thursday, the 11th one day before their time. The Pen arrived at Malta on the 6th inst. at 6 p.m. 8110 left at midnight, and may be expected at Southampton on the 13th inst. The Alhambra arrived at Malta from Corfu on the 4th inst. The Bengal arrived at Suez on the evening of the 31st of July. The Calcutta Niail brings the following news : Letters from commercial correspondents express fears that the example of the mutiny of the Euro pean soldiers, formerly in the Company's service, would spread fresh agitation among the natives. It is asserted that nearly half of the mutinied soldiers would ask for their discharge. It is also re ported that the mutiny is not yet quite quelled at Berhasopoew. 400 European soldiers, formerly in the Company's service, are said to have bad an en counter with soldiers of the Queen at Cawupore. A detachment of the Queen's troops, under the com mand of Sir John Inglis, is reported to have left to punish the mutineers. The English fleet had left Alexandria on the 30th ult. THE RUSSO-CHINESE TREATY. ST. PETERSBURG, ArGCST 1. The official Gazette of the Senate, No. 56, oontains the text, in the Russian language, of the treaty be tween Russia and China, negotiated by Admiral Count Paniutine. and signed by him at Tien-trio, June 1, 1868. This treaty received the Rani= im perial sanction on the 29th August last year, and the exchange of the ratifications took place at Pekia on the 12th of April, 1869. It resolves itself into three principal parte. It provides for the extension of Russian commerce in China, both by sea and land; for the protection of Russian subjects in that tionntry from Chinese laws and procedure; and for the reoognitiou of tha Russian religious missionaries. together with an acknowledgment, en the part of the Chinese Emperor, of the beneficent influence of Christianity, which reads rather like a gratuitous capitulation from the chief of a heathen and singu larly intolerant state. The Berlin correspondent of the Times says:— " As several of the Prumiso provincial papers have given carreacy to rumours on the subject of the King's health, I think it as well to mention the present state of the royal sufferer. His mind has been dearer darks the last few weeks, and he hes been able to take • greater interest In the pumas and thinp near Wm. But in proportion as the intellect has became more active, the vital forms, as frequently happens fa dm alms of diseases he Is Mooring under, have simibly diminished. Still the sireptosas us not so rave se roadie rumour ham represented therm, sad Was a midis cassis occurs he easy linger on fur months iesys." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. MOIL OCT& ONM PARIS, TUZADAY EYLNING. This morning at six o'clock the Emperor quid unexpectedly left the Chalons camp for Plombieres. For reasons which I am not able to explain, orders were sent to the evening papers to suppress this fact, but they cams too late for the Pays, which alone published it. His Majesty is expected back at St. Cloud on Thursday morning. Those--and it appears there were many—who construed a paragraph in the Moniker last week as meaning that the Zurich Conference would meet on Saturday, were mistaken. The plenipotentiaries were not all there on that day. Even yesterday they only managed to have a pro forma meeting at 6 o'clock in the evening. The general belief in Paris is that the news of the sipature of a definitive treaty et pesos will arrive in time for the Emperor to make ass of it in a speech which it is supposed he means to make to the army on the 14th. Should this anticipation be realised, the treaty of Zurich will beyond doubt be " a conclusion in which nothing is concluded." No doubt the plenipotentiaries of the three late belligerent powers may, if they confine their attention to that sole object, define the terms upon which they Olen to fight, and before the end of this week convert into a treaty of peace the armistice which expires on August 16. Bat this treaty will not be a carrying out of the base of the extraordinary covenant at Villafranca. All the great—all the difficult questions which the two despotic Emperors presumed to arrange between themselves at that memorable meeting will re main for the decision of • European con gress or of the sword, unless, the parties to it, constraiaed by circumstances to be tardily ' wise, shall leave the &nation to the people of Italy themselves. An intrigue which deserves notios, is on foot for bringing forward Prince Napoleon as a candidate for Tuscany, rather than that province should be (in accordance with the wishes of its inhabitants) annexed to Sardinia. A letter circulated by government journals in France says that " everybody in Florence speaks of Prince Napoleon as their future sovereign, and that people chalk on the walls . Viva Napoleon (Jerome), Xing of Etruria." A report is circulated in official quarters this even 1n that, contrary to previous announcements, the Emperor will go to the camp of St. Maar oa the 14th, take the command of the army, and lead it into Paris. The Bourse has been very heavy to-day. The great turning point of 70fr. has been lost in the Bente, which left off at 69fr. 700. and 69fr. 90c. with a fall of 30c. and 20e. Mobilier, however, rose 9fr. 7k. Railways were from 3fr. to Mr. lower. The Press. says in its weekly oommercial review that there is no change worth noticing since last week. People hops to see an active late season, but up to this time great caution is shown and few °ps i rations of any magnitude are undertaken. The Bfauceire fair which closed on July 31 went off very badly. The greater part of the goods brought to it were either sold at a sacrifice or taken home. The Duke of Malakoff, Commander-in-Chief of the Array of Observation, on leaving Nancy on flatuidey, issued the following order of the day Warta, the date of the 6th : quitting you, I take with me the pleasing cer tainty that if the Emperor had found it necessary to mobilise the Army el Obairvaiks, you would have shown yourselves Oa worthy rivals of your predecessors, and of the noble oon. queen of Montebello, Paleo'ro, Magenta, and Solferino. Soldier% continue to set an example of that discipline and of those militsey virtues whioh foreigners admire, and which make you the eternal glory of the country. If, which God forbid, the country should be menaced, I shall request the Emperor, as the greatest favour, the honour of fighting at your head, end of attaching an additional renown to year eagles. Mammal. Summits% Duke de Malakoff. SWITZERLAND. The Suisse, a newspaper of Berne, gives the text of the federal law concerning enlistments in foreign military service . In publishing this document, the journal in qoestion expresses the hope that it will show the true state of the cue to those who have felt such indignation at the recital of the events at Naples and Perugia. " They will see," says the Suisse, " that the Confederation never hesitates whereits honour and dignity are at stake, and in fine they wiU do it the justice to admit that it values its moral interests more than its material ones." The following is the text of the law : Art. 1.
