The only candidates for the honour, up to an early hour this morning, were the two late mem bers, Sir B. Hall, and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C. ; but a few minutes before the commencement of the proceedings notice was given to Mr. Tamplin, the returning officer, that it was intended to propose the Right Hon. Lord Stanley as a third candidate. The fact of an Opposition being offered to the return of the late members gave an excitement to the proceedings which other wise would have passed off in the usually quiet way unopposed elections in the metropolis generally do. The hustings were erected, as usual, in Park-crescent, Regent's-park, and at eleven o'clock the writ commanding the election having been read, Mr. G. TAMPLIN, the returning officer, came forward to open the proceedings. He said the electors of Marylebone were assembled that morning for the purpose of electing - two members to a Parliament which would have to perform duties as great and important as ever devolved upon any of its predecessors. The English were always the lovers of fair play, and he called upon the assemblage to give a fair and impartial hearing to every gentleman who addressed them, because if they did not hear them they could by no possibility answer them, and the consequence would be a loss of half the fun. (Laughter.) He then called forward the proposer of Sir B. Hall, Mr. DimuNsoN, of Paddington, who said it afforded him much pleasure to propose so distinguished a gentleman as 'Sir B. 'Hall as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Marylebone in Parliament. Sir Benjamin had so long represented the borough, and had become so iden ttified'with it, that to separate - him - from it would be like 'parting man and wife. (Laughter and cheers.) He was of the people.- He was with the people, and any attempt to 'displace him could do no honour to any man however good he might be—(cheers) —and nothing hut miserable defeat 'could follow such an attempt. (Cheers.) It had been ob jected to Sir B. Hall that he was a place-hinter; but he knew well that when Sir B. Hall was so, he was always 'the right man in the right place ; and in his place, what ever it was, he had done his best for the interests of the borough. (Cheers.) lie considered Sir Benjamin any thing but a place -hunter for his own interests ; and he looked upon the circumstance of the right hon. baronet having filled office as an honour to the electors of Maryle bone that they had chosen a representative with sufficient intellect to fit him to hold a place. (Loud cheers.) He concluded by proposing Sir B. Half as a fit and proper per son to represent the borough of Marylebone in the Cora mons•Houge of Parliament. (Cheers ) Mr. STOCKTON, in seconding the nomination, said it would be impossible to fmd a man more eminently calculated to discharge the important trust of representing Maryle bone in Parliament than Sir B. Hall. (Loud cheers.) Sir J. DUKE said he again had the honour of proposing to the electors of Marylebone his friend Mr. Edwin James as a candidate for their suffrages. (Cheers.) He consi dered it a proud distinction that Marylebone would be the first. lace to send two such eminent men to the new Reform Parliament. (Cheers.) They would not go there to sup port a Government, but they would go there to say that the people were determined to have a larger and more substan tial measure of Parliamentary reform than was prepared by her Majesty's Government. (Cheers.) The present Government had been objected to on many grounds, but there was one on which the Whig officials would do well to imitate, that' was courtesy. (Cheers.) [Here a handsome bouquet was handed to Mr. Edwin James from some parties on the right hand side of the crowd, amidst loud cheers, which were repeated again and again as the learned gentleman took off his hat and bowed.] He.. thought it a great - hardship that at the eleventh hour Sir B. Hall and Mr. James should be put to the .expense and annoyance of a poll by parties proposing candidates without their sanction. (Cheers.) Mr. Ross said it afforded him much pleasure to second the.nomination of Mr. James. (Cheers.) He had seen in the newspaper that morning, an advertisement asking ten gentlemen to come forward with £lOO each, for the purpose of nominating Lord Stanley. (Cries of " oh, oh.") He sup posed that, as that nobleman was to be proposed, the money had been got—(laughter)—but it was only another exempli fication of the old proverb, that fools and their money soon part. (Loud laughter.) He felt certain the electors of Marylebone were satisfied with their late representatives, and also that it was impossible to obtain better ones, for they were as good a pair as ever ran in a curricle. Whatever advan tage one might have in bulk—(laughter)—the other had in height. (Loud laughter and cheers.) Mr. HAIG then came forward amidst, great uproar to nominate Lord Stanley as a fit and proper person to repre sent Marylebone in Parliament. Amidst much laughter he proceeded to address the electors, when he was asked whether Lord Stanley had, given his sanction to his name being used. Mr. Hai g answered' in the negative, and the response was loud yells and hisses. Mr: PRIDEA:Ux seconded the nomination of Lard Stanley, although he had great adMiration for the talents of Mr. Edwin James. Mr. TAMPLIN then asked whether any other person had a candidate to propose. Recciiing no answer, he called upon Sir B. Hall to address the assemblage. Sir. B. HALL said lie caniebefore them that day to ask fora renewal of the trust which,ifor nearly 2:5 years, had been confided to his care. (Cheers.) He had during the whole of that period endeavoured to do his duty, and he felt that he had dew nothing that should stand inthe way of his re-election. He felt certain Lord Stanley was unacquainted with the liberty that had been taken With his name, and he thought it extremely hard that himielf and his h nr. colleague should be,put to the annoyance of a contest by persons proposing candidates without even their knowledge and consent. He had no doubt of re-election, and he could not but regret that their harmony had been Marred •by two over jealous ad mirers of Lord Stanley. (Cheerg.) Mr. E. JAMES said he appeared before the electors that morning to solicit the renewal of their confidence. The gentleman who had seconded the nomination of Lord Stan ley said he had admired him (Mr. James) because he had done his duty in Parliament—(hear, hear) . —and this was the way he rewarded him. (Cheers, and cries of " Your all right.") He did not for a moment believe that Lord Stan ley was in any way connected with the movement that had been made in his favour, and he was sure that nobleman would as much regret the circumstance as any amongst them. He, however, supposed the gentlemen had got their £9OO advertised for, and it was 'their' duty to spend it ; but he was sure the result would be only mortification and defeat. His (Mr. James) opinions With respect to domestic matters were so well known to the electors that he would not detain them with the slightest allusion'to them ; bat with respect to his opinions on foreign. affairs; he thought it was his duty to make a few observations as to what he thought ought to be the policy of England in the present crisis. The learned gentleman then at' some lei gth repeated his views with respect to the position of foreign affairs, and said the safest and surest course England could take in the pre sent momentous crisis was that of non-interference. (Cheers.) The hon. and learned gentlemtm concluded his speech by expressing his frill confidence that at the close of the.poll to-morrow ho should be again in the proud position of one of the representatives of the borough of Marylebone in Parliament. Mr. TAMPLIN then 'called for a show of hands for each of the candidates. For Sir B. Hall and Mr. James a forest - of hands was held up, while for Lord Stanley only eneindividnal in the crowd, and his nomi nator and seconder, held up theirs. Mr. I'AMPLIN said-that the show of hands were in fa.vour of Sir B. Hall, and' Mr. James, upon which Mr. Haig demanded a poll for Lord Stanley, The poll will open to-morrow morning at eight o'clock, and finally close at four in the afternoon. A vote of thanks to the Returning Officer terminated 'he proceedings.- . . • [EX ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] MATCHES. Twang beat Golden Rule. Harry Bluff beat Schoolfellow. Ghika paid forfeit.

SUICIDE OF A CORONER'S OFFlCER.—Yesterday considerable sensation was created in the parish of Edmon ton, in consequence of the suicide of Mr. Richard Brand, who was carrying on business as a carpenter, and . also 'coroner's officer for the parish of Edmonton, in the Duchy of Lancaster. It appears that the deceased was very cheer ful, and never showed the slightest tendency to suicide On one of the workmen entering his workshop, he found him hanging by a sash line to a beam in his workshop. He must have accomplished the act by getting upon his 'work-bench, and throwing himself off. No cause can be assigned for the rash act, as his circumstances were very good, having several houses at Edmonton, and other pro perty in Hertfordshire. The deceased was highly respected in the neighbourhood, and the poor have lost a kind and benevolent benefactor. Information has been sent to the coroner, but no day is yet named for the inquest. FATAL ACCIDENT, ON THE ORWELL.—A few weeks since we recorded a sad accident on the river Orwell, by the capsizing of a sailing skiff, and the loss of three lives. We have now to record a similar accident, and the loss of two lives On Saturday James Girling, a Trinity pilot, with his son, was stationed on board the' pilot cutter, lying just at tile mouth of the Orwel l, about a mile from Harwich pier, and during the morning a 'Welsh schooner entered the river. Girling and his son (who was apprenticed to him as a pilot) went on board, and piloted her up as far as the second pilot boat, which lies a t Down ham Beach, three miles from. Ipswich, where anothe r ' p ilot went on board, and Girling and his son :sthe arted wi off for s their s tation with their skiff,.with sai ls set. Tnd wavery puffy, and squally. They wore seen sailing past Tin Mill by another pilot on board .a yacht, who noticed that Girling was steering with an, oar instead of a rudder, the latter, it is supposed, having become disabled. The Atlanta 'steam packet was running down to Harwich about one o'clock, and when near Foxhall -bottom, the mate, George Bacon; saw what ho thought were the heads of two persons above water. The 'steamer was at once stopped, the boat launched, and two men pulled over to the spot, when they picked up a pilot cloth jacket,, a sou-wester, a rudder, a pair of oars, a boat scoop, and one or two other articles. These were immediately identified as belon;ing to Girling and his son. Nothing was seen of either the boat or the men, and on the steamer calling at the . lower pilot boat, it was found that nothing had been seen of the Girlings ; and there is n o doubt the boat was capsized by a sudden squall when about two miles and a half from Harwich, and the unfor • tunate father and son were drowned.—Essex Herald. FATAL OCCURRNCE AT A PRIZE-FIGIIT:-011 ferredMonday afternoon the ma g istrates at Rochester wererire occu pied a considerable time in investigating a charts against john Robinson, a shipwright, employed in Chatham Dockyard o f hating killed another shipwright; William Moore _Beasley, in a fight which took place on Chatham -lines on the previous Saturday evening. 'From witnesses examined in support o f th e the evidence of the wi prosecution, it appeared that the prisoner and deceresed, to gether with a number of other shipwrights, were drinking at a public - hou se in Bromptort during the whole of the after noon and evening of Saturday, all the parties being very much intoxicated. An orderly of the Medical Staff Corps; who was in the house, challenged the prisoner to fight for ss. a -side, which he' accepted, the stakes p deposited ;il l. his hands. The parties then adjourned to Chatham-lines, and commenced fighting in the trenches near the Sally port. After several' rounds the prisoner gave in, when deceased handed the stake's to the medical staff man. On this the prisoner became very violent, and wanted to fight deceased,, who was described by a the witnesses as being very, drunk, and acting " like madman." Another fight theri commen c ed, prisoner and deceased closing, and both falling heavily to the ground, the prisoner being under. In falling, deceased struck his forehead with great violence against the ground, on which his head was observed to fall forward, and after giving three groans, he expired without uttering a word. Mr. Weeks, a .surgeon who was promptly in attendance, made an examination of the deceased, and discovered that the neck had been dislo cated by the fall, which was sufficient to account for death. There were no marks of bruises or violence on the body. The magistrates committed, the prisoner for trial, but ad mitted lum to bail. • Halifax Hastings Hereford Honiton Horsham Huddersfield Hull Huntingdon Ipswich Kidderminster King's Lynn Knaresborough Launceston Leeds Lewes Leicester SATURDAY, Berkshire Berwickshire Buckinghamshire Cheshire (South) Clackmannan and Kinross- shire Derbyshire (North) Dorsetshiro Dumfries Burghs Durham County (North) Flintshiro Forfarshiro Glocestorshiro (West) Haddingtonshiro TUESDA.

ROLLS COURT. :Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT.—WILDM AN V. LADE. Plaintiff, by his solicitors, in Canterbury, sold by private contract his estate, of Greaves, for £5,400, subject to land tax. • Defendant signed the contract and 'paid a deposit of £540. He now repudiates the contract and claims abatement on the ground that he was only informed thif the land tax was £6'.; whereas it turned out that the land.:tax was £l3, being a land-tax at the rate of 2s. Bd. per poUtid on the value of the estate. Plaintiff filed his bill for specific performance of the con tract, arid alleged that his estate was sold by his solicitors, Messrs. Hurley and Calloway, under the express condition that the estate was subject to land tax ; and that Mr. Cal loway expressly informed him that he did not know the amount before the contract was signed. • The. Master of the Rolls was satisfied, upon looking at the evidence produced, that the defendant Was informed that .the estate in question was sold •to him subject to payment of the land tax, and that the plaintiffs agents gave him all the information respecting the land tax that they had .themselves. His Honour decreed: specific- performance against the defendant; with costs. SECONDARIES COURT. (Before Mi. Potter.) INMAN V. GRIFFIN. This was an action to recover the sum of £l2 10s. com mission, on obtaining a farm for defendant, in the ordinary way of business. • Mr. Clark, of Bedford-row,' for the plaintiff, stated that the matter was of great iMpoithnce to . his client, and was as follows —Mr. Inman is a' farm and estate agent, and • advertises very largely. Some time• ago defendant applied to him for a farm of about 300 acres. Mr. Inman wrote to defendant enclosing his terms, 5 per cent. upon the rental, and enclosing also a list of farms, amongst which was one known as Hollybush Farm.. Upon receiving this list, • defendant had, entirely ignoring the plaintiff, personally negotiated with the owner of thefarm; subsequently taking it. But upon the terms of the plaintiff this was guarded against,. and one of the clauses was, that any•farm taken upon in formation received from plaintiff would be chargeable in reference to the taker in the same rates of commission. . Plaintiff was called, and stated that defendant called upon him, and upon paying the correspo ndence• fee, one guinea, asked if the landlord of the farm would not pay half the. commission, and plaintiff said no. • -Ile was the tenant's agent. Cross-examined—Plaintiff was not authorised by the owner of the farm to advertise it Ai To -be Let." It was customary to conduct business in this way. Mr. Field, for the defendant, contended that the fee paid by defendant was in fact all he was •to pay. It had been given in evidence that it was • usual to charge one gu i nea for correspondence fee, i.e. letters, &c., &c., but in reality that sum was quite sufficient payment for the information given by plaintiff. Defendant was called, and said that he told plaintiff the Commission. was very extravagant, and he did not agre e t o. pay it. Cross-examined by Mr. Clark—Plaintiff told me he was not employed by the owner of the farm. I might have. read the particulars contained in the plaintiff's terms. Mr. Marsh, the agricultural agent, was called, and his. evidence was in favour of neither party, in fact, he declared he never knew such a case. • • • . . Mr. Field then submitted there was no contract to find for. defendant, and Mr. Clark said it was really an undefended • • • action. The learned Secondary stopped Mr. Clark, and told the . jury it was so. • The jury deliberated for a short time, and the learned. Secondary again explained the law. The jury intimated that they would be glad to hear Mr. Clark, who then ad-. dressed them, and they -ultimately found for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH - ST REET. OBTAINING GOODS BY • FRAUD, AND RECEIVING.— Patrick Savage, a - tailor, was charged with obtaining, by fraudulent pretences, 107} yards. of silk serge, valued at £lB, the property of Messrs.

Seria, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the priSoners. Wm. Pickman, in the employ of the prosecutors, said the prisoner Savage came on Monday and asked for a piece of silk serge of above 100 yards in length, stating that it was for Mr. Geogtegar' of Jerrnyn-street, and, knowing the pri soner had been in)iis employ, he let him have a piece of 108 yards, of the value of £4B. Sergeant Glass, 3 C, said.he took Savage into custody in Warwick street on the previous evening, and told him the charge. He said (speaking to Mr.Miley) "I hope you will settle this without giving me into .the custody of the police, as I can tell you where I sold it.t'• lie (Glass) then took him to the station, where he told him he had sold it in West-street, to a man named Bennett, for £lO. He gaye his address in Carnaby-street, but on going there found he had left that morning. From what Savage told him he went to West-street, to the shop .of Bennett, and asked, if he had purchased any silk of a man, which he denied. He told him a man was locked up, charged with obtaining some by fraud. Bennett then spoke to a female in a language he did not understand, and ho (Sergeant Glass) heard the private door shut, and on :going out saw the female with a parcel running away, and, just as he came up to her, he saw her place the parcel in a doorway.. He afterwards admitted giving £lO for it, but said he had, not : entered it, as he kept no books. . Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate (Mr. Beadon)' at some length, and in a very, able manner, on behalf of the Donnetts, and contended that the Bennetts had paid a fair price for the goods. Remanded. . tIIAMAS AN INVETERATE POT STEAI,ER.—Thomas Spooner, an old man well known to the, police as a person sneaking about inns and public-houses for. some time past, and whose visits have been generally followed by the loss of some article, was charged with stealing a pint Pot from the Fir Tree pub lic-house in Church-lane, Whitechapel. Abraham Stone, servant to Richard Dear, the land lord of the Fir Tree, stated that the prisoner c ame to the house yesterday afternoon between three and four o'cloCk, and called for a pint of beer, which he drank and left. Soon afterwards he missed a pint pewter pot, and suspecting the prisoner, went after him, and overtook him about 100 yards from the house. Ayoung'rhan took the prisoner's hat off; and a, pint pot fell from it on to thb' ground. He said to the prisoner, " You -have taken that pot from our house," to which ho made no reply. ' The pot in question was not the one in which the prisoner's beer was served, but was on-the table beside him. The prisoner, in defenbe, said he was very drunk, and did not know what he was abut when ho took the pot. Stone said the prisoner" was ddrtainly the worse for liquor, and Gascoigne, a pclice-constable, 98 H, said the prisoner told him he did not know he had the - pet in his hat when the hat was pulled off hiti head. Roche, the gaoler of 'the court, said the prisoner had passed through his hands more than once before, but he could not say he was ever contteted of felony. The prisoner ,then pldaded guilty, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonitent and hard labour. • • SUSPICIOUS POSSESSION Or •PROPEETY.—Henry Smith, a Well-known thief,. belonging to the Spitalfields gang, against whom there is more than one conviction reoorded for felony, was- brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being in unlawful possession of 14 cloth caps, which had been stolen or unlawfully procured.

On searching the prisoner he discovered nine more caps in his trousers: Tickets were attached to them, and he believed they had been stolen from a shop.

BLIND TO THE . GLORIES OF SUNSET .--At the recent anniversary a the' St. Martin's School of Art, as reported in the Rudder, the. Hon. Mr. Cowper, M.P., the chairman, remarked how very few persons there were who looked much at tho'se gorgeous sights which were constantly to beseeii in the skies: even when the most glorious sunset was taking place. persons for the most part passed heedlessly along the crowded thorough fare • and the number of those were but few who raised their eyes 'from the level of the pavement to notice what was going on above their heads. The late Mr. Rogers, who vas remarkable for always indulging his sentiments of ' the 'beautiful in this respect, was in the habit of walking up and down in the Green• Park at evening when the sunset was taking place ; and he enjoyed the sight so much himself, that he used to stop persons and invite them to look up into the sky, and share with him the magnificence of the sight. • But housed to say that he could not find one person in twenty who took the slightest inte rest in what he was . pointing out, and that they only looked on him as a troublesome, strange old gentleman, who was trying to point out something which was not in the least worth seeing. It was astonishing the number of b e auties w hich persons lost by never having trained their power of observation. THE "lON. (Opinions of the French, Press) The Constittettonnel continues to denounce the conduct of Austria : " The present position has at least the merit of being clear and well defined. But the light arrived so suddenly for certain partisans of Austria, for those who had vaunted her pacific dispositions, that they no longer know how to explain passing events. The journals representing th e English Cabinet, for instance, cannot believe In such ' crime' on the part of Austria. There is an error,' they said. ' The Cabinet of Vienna did not yet know of the adhesion of Piedmont to the prin ciple of a general disarmament when it summoned that State to disarm.' But this hypothesis is no longer to be admitted. It is now clearly proved that Aus tria had received official notice of the adhesion of Sardinia at the moment she had addressed her ultimatum. This ultimatum was already resolved on, its terms were drawn up, while the Cabinet of Vienna accepted the proposal of a Congress. The day when the Tory Ministry spoke so loftily of Ae A t r i a ' s honour, Archduke Albert presented this document of duplicity and violence at Berlin, and proposed to the Prince Regent that he should be an accomplice to it. The r.lply of the .Regent was such as might have been ex pected ; it does honour to Prussia and to the real Germany which she now repreeents. Not only has the Cabinet of Ber lin rejected the proposal of Austria but it has protested against it in common with all Europe. This great act, which condemns the last step of Austria, condemns for the same reason all her proceedings since the mission of Lord Cowley. It is now a matter of history that the Vienna Cabinet has, in the present crisis; never been sincere towards Europe. It was not sincere when it accepted the principle of a European Congress, nor when it demanded a gbneral armament before the Congress. Austria has disavowed engagements and promises. That her interest and ambition should push her to war may be understood by her defenders, but that she should have descended to hypocritical denials, in order to arrive at a violent settlement, cannot be par doned even by them. Austria tempted Europe with a last hope of peace at the very moment when she fixed the day for opening the war. On Good Friday issued from Milan the ultimatum which summoned Sardinia to disarm within three days; it is thus that pious Austria celebrates her Easter Week." The Pays describes as a "diplomatic romance," the statement which represents Austria at the time she sent in her ultimatum as having been ignorant of the acceptance by Sardinia of the principle of disarmament : "There has been no mistake, and the Austrian Govern ment has taken its decision with every circumstance before its eyes. Moreover, it is p')sitive that the summons to die arm was drawn up by Count Buol, and that the Em peror did not act without consulting his Ministers. Finally what proves that Austria was aware of the pro posal of a general disarmament, and nevertheless persisted in her desire to humiliate Piedmont, is the official declaration in the Vienna Gazette that she was prepared to pursue her negotiations with the Powers, but that in no case would she renounce the right of acting sepa rately and individually in regard to Piedmont. Such a reso lution is evidently incompatible with any ulterior arrange ment, and if it be true that England and Prussia have taken new steps at Vienna, we believe that to hope in their success would be a great illusion. Austria has decided on pushing matters to the last extremity. It is to be presumed that imperious considerations must have pushed the Court of Vienna into this fatal path, since she consents to brave the public opinion of Europe, and to give an open denial to her own words." The Gazette de France says : " Should Austria - persist in sending troops, in spite of the rulers of the small States of Italy, to points which she may consider essential for her personal defence, she would place herself in.the falsest position posiible. It appears that, the Grand Duke of Tuscany has not alone protested against this pretension of Austria. The Duchess of Parma, who has always displayed the greatest strength of character in every difficult position, has, it would appear, also refused to allow the Austrians to invade her States. Should Austria, persist in her pretensions, sho will really prove that she considers the territory of her - allies as a portion of the Austrian Empire," The Patric contains the following remarks on the Prussian military preparations : "The Prussian Government has hastened to protest against the supposition that its late military measures are connected in the least with the presence of Arehdnko Al bert in Berlin. Tfiese.measures, it declares, have a purely defensive character; they were rendered necessary by the general situation •of - Europe, and were prepared long beforehand. The partisans of Austria sought to attribute these measures to the mission of Archduke Albert. Tho Prussian Gazette, in giving a for mal denial to such an interpretation, .will doubtless contri bute to convince the Vienna cabinet of its isolation in the aggressive policy which it has just inaugurated so fatally." The Presse briefly observes:— " Events are preparing rapidly. It is too late ;' that last word, in decisive crises, appears to be that of the present moment.' It is already p r onounced ix Italy, where the ques tion is already considered settled." BED SEA AND INDIATELEGRAPII COMPAN Y. The following correspondence on the question of the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company has been forwarded for publication. It is satisfactory that the Treasury authorities do not believe there is any danger of the Legislature repUdiating the obligation of the ,guarantee:— • (core.) " Red Sea and India Telegraph Company, 62, Moor gate-street, E.C.,.London, April '2l, 1859. " Sir,—l am instructed by the directors of the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company to inform you that serious apprehensions have been raised in the minds of the share holders in consequence of th;s late proceedings in the Rouse of Lords on the motion for the third reading of tho corn- pany's bill. " The directors themselves entertain no doubt whatever of the good faith of the Government, or of their intention to abide by the terms of the contract into which they have entered, but, at the same time, after -whethas occurred, they deem it imperative to request that steps may be taken to. satisfy the natural anxiety of the shareholders, and to justify the confidence they have hitherto felt in the inviolable na ture of the agreement under which they are acting. " In briefly recalling the circumstances under which tho guarantee was granted I am directed to remind you that in the month of August last, when application was made by . this company to the Treasury, the speedy establishment ui telegraphiccommunication with India was, perhaps, of more vital importance to the Government than it happily is at the present moment. It was then distinctly and repeatedly stated by the directors and others thatthe undertaking par took far more of-upublic than of a private character; that if the Government should decide upon adopting the ma chinery of a private company such terms must be granted as should virtually ensure the risk of the experiment being borne by the Government; and that any arrangement to be entered into with the company must be entirely indepen dent of the commercial success or failure of the undertaking. " The urgency of the necessity and the impossibility of raising the capital required upon other terms was so strongly felt thst the offers of the company were accepted upon the express condition that the whole capital should be sub scribed. at once ; and, that theconstruction and laying down of the line should be Commenced forthwith, whilst entire control was secured to the Government by the appointment of two ex-officio directors whose sanction was required to every proceeding of the company. " As it was clearly impossible to obtain the immediate assent of Parliament to these arrangements, which were completed during the recess, the company was required to apply for an act in the next session. " Upon the faith of the agreement thus concluded the • capital was subscribed, and a contract entered into with N L l o c t s d s a rs c . oNmemwajaliaonjraCoo.,flhvehriehmracj.(e.esit;e:da t 2 h ,r e ea sa a n a (47n fo o r f the e completion of the line to India within 12 months, involving thereby a large and immediate outlay ; to meet which ..C400,000 was actually called up before the meeting . of Par liament enabled the company to proceed with their bill. " Under this contract 1,800 miles of cable have already been dispatched to the Red Sea, by which it is hoped to establish a ammunication between Alexandria and Aden in the month of May, whilst the manufacture of the remain ing section is rapidly proceeding at home. " Under these circumstances it is with no small surprise that the shareholders have learnt that a question has been raised in Parliament as to the expediency of sanctioning the Government'contract, and that the company's bill has been postponed without any protest on the part of her Majesty's Government against the impossibility of repaid ating so solemn an obligation. "From the representations made to them from various quarters, the directors deem it indispensably necessary that the shareholders -should receive an official assurance that the Government is determined to give full effect to the agreement, and that the directors are authorised to proceed in the work which they are endeavouring faithfully to per form, but which they do not hesitate to say will be most materially impeded if the slightest doubt shall be allowed to rest for a moment upon the validity of their engagement with her Majesty's Government. —I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " C.
