The progress mad' during the last ien years by the Bri tish Colonies in South .kacca has been very remarkable ; public revenues having, during the that im period,por t m exports, utti ed 'dud threefold, and from public returns estimated that a yet higher progressive just. increaseto hand, wt 1 i e sh iwn in the present year. The bar:sing capital of the colonies has not kept pace with this increase of trade, and it has become clear that a new banging institution of considerable magnitude, and with tdequate resources, is now a public necessity, and must com mand success. _ _ To meet this necessity, and as a profitable and safe in vestment of capital, the Standard Bank of British south Afrca is established. _ _ _ That the proposed field of operations is both safe and profitable is shown by the fact that, although in the -outh African Co,onies the rates of discount on first-class bills range from 8 to 12 per cent , not one instance of loss is re corded in the last annual statements of the local banks. The following Is a statement of the present selling prices of shares in existing local banks, the dividends paid bj these banks during the last year having varied from 12 to 22 per cent. per annum.

The traffic receipts of railways in the United Kingdom amounted for the week ending the 11th of October, on 10,499 miles, to £592,763, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 10,186 miles, to £566,274, ,showing an in crease cf 313 miles, and of £26,489 in the receipts. The gross receipts on the following 14 railways amounted in the aggregate, on 7,221 miles, to £468,222 ; and for the corre sponding week of 1861, on 7,006 miles, to £449,242, show ing an increase of 215 miles, and of £18,980 in the receipts. The increa-e on the .Jaledonian amounted to £816; on the Great Eastern, to £1,387 ; on the Great Western, to £3,022 ; on the London and North-Western, t 0105,674 ; on the London, Brighton, and South Coast, to £2,813; on the London and South-Western, to £2,839; on the Midland, to £685; en the North British, to £564; on the North- Eastern, to £3,087; and on the South-Eastern, to £4.141; total, £25,028. But from this must be deducted £1,328, the decrease on the Great Northern ; £463 on the Great Southern and Western ; £2,767 on the Lancashire and Yorkshire ; and £1,490 on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire ; together, £6,048, leaving the increase, as above, £18,980. The goods and mineral traffic on those lines amounted to £230,149, and for the corresponding week of 1861 to £231,639, showing a decrease of £1,490. The receipts for passengers, parcels, &c., amounted to £238,073, against £217,603, showing an increase of £20,470. The traffic receipts on 64 other lines amounted, on 3,279 miles, to £124,541, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 3,180 miles, to £117,C32, showing an increase of 99 miles, and of £7,509 in the receipts. The increase in the traffic of the past week, as compared with the corresponding period of 1861, arises chiefly from the passenger traffic to the In ternational Exhibition and excursion traffic. The total receipts of the past week show a decrease of £19,901 as compared with those of the preceding week, ending the 4th inst. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. Miles Opened. Receipts.

Instead of thwarting their formidable impetus by uselessly dressing them in line, they content themselves with leading them against the feeblest point of that of the enemy. Moreover, the Zouaves themselves have a parti cular instinct in recognizing the vulnerable place against which their efforts should be brought to bear." FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

It enables bodies of infantry to transfer themselves, in action, to any part of the field where they may be needed in an extremely short time, arriving in good order and in good wind. There can be no doubt of the value of this kind of exercise, but it s must manifestly be constantly kept up, in peace time as well a in war, since a few months' discontinuance would neu tralise much of the benefit of previous training. The bayonet drill, by giving the soldier confidence in his weapon and teaching him to handle it adroitly, furnishes him with a powerful means ca of attack,. as well as e a precious means of defence in the of law finding himself sur rounded by several adversaries. se Considered, h finally,. as the bases of the instruction of the recruit, o e ri gr ia m l nas l tic step and the bayonet fencing rid him of i tle t and want of agility of the peasant who is being g transformed into a soldier. The two great principles established are e the development of the agility of the soldier, and the mobility of masses which is attained as its results. Thus is all.our infantry transformed into light infantry, apt for rapid movements, the which, joined to the national dash (clan) of our troops, may produce the greatest results. The improvements introduced into the army of so belli cose a nation as the French cannot but be of interest, and worthy of noting by all other European Powers. The tac tics of the Zouaves especially—a branch of the French in fantry, which, in case of a long and serious war, would be likely to be largely augmented—are of a particularly for midable nature to troops that are not prepared for them, or which do not possess in perfection that calmness and soli dity which high discipline and long service alone can com pletely bestow. And France has always in Africa 40,000 men, whom it would take little more than a change of uni form to convert into Zouaves. A recent writer on the Alge rian army made the following remarks on the Zouaves : " The superiority of French soldiers is in a great part to be attributed to the intelligent manner in which they fight. Among them the Zouaves have acquired a special reputa tion for spontaneity of action ; they are the artists of the battlefield. The part they play in an engagement necessitates particular qualities ; they are sp ec i a lly apt at surpr i ses , coups de main, and in those acts of daring which often decide the fate of the day. They are the advanced guard, the heads of columns of an army. Their favourite arm is the bayonet; in musketry they have but moderate confidence; so many balls have whistled harmlessly by them that they despise lead and give the preference to steel. With the bayonet one is surer of the result. The favourite tactics of the Zouaves have been thus summed up by General Cler (a distinguished French officer who com manded a regiment of Zouaves at the capture of Seb a stopol) : - i -- 4 They spread themselves in skirmishing order, get as near a s possible to the enem y , bewilder him by one or two close volleys, and attack with the bayonet, turning his flanks at the same time. Success has almost invariably crowned this manoeuvre , although there might be serious objections to it with other men than Zou Zouaves. In fact, wh en th e y thus dash forward they are dispersed in disorder, and it seems impossible to rally them in case of an attack by cava l r y. But these regiments posses s such an intelligence of war, such a surprising rapidity of evolutions, so great an individual soli dity, that a line of skirmishers, scattered over a considerable extent of ground, transforms itself into a square in the apace of a few minutes. The officers who have tried their Men and know their value leave them the utmost liberty 711 E KINGDOM Or 17ALY. ♦ (From the Times' Correspondent.) TURIN, OCT. 15. " M. Benedetti," we are gravely informed by the semi-official press, "came on MOnday from the place where he is now enjoying this bright country sea son and trail a very long interview with the 131-esi- dent of the Council. - The note of the Foreign Minister, Durando, was the subject of conversation of these two influential personages, and it is also natural to suppose that the main object of the con ference was the expediency and opportunity of a journey of M. Rattazzi to Paris, which ought to take place within a few days." There are many of the Italian public men whom I have occasion to see, whom communications in this style fill with indignation and disgust. The solution of the Roman question is matter of vital interest and im portance for this country they think, but there is something about which the Italians ought to be anxious even more than about their national capital, and that is their national honour and dignity. It is unworthy of a people of 22,000,000 souls, they urge, to be watching the sunshine or shade on the countenance of a foreign Sovereign, as if they were dependent on him for the very breath of their nostrils. The Emperor Napoleon may have done good or evil to Italy ; it may be in his power to do more ; the Roman question may rest on him alone for a favourable solution, but there is no reason why the Italians should be helpless and inactive; why all their efforts should be limited to a painful, ignoble speculation on any whim that may happen to pass through an uncertain and tenebrous mind ; al) their business an unceasing survey of the vaga ries of a capricious weathercock. It was one of the old tricks of Count Cavour to divert public attention from domestic disorders by pointing at great foreign contingencies. But Cavour was a man of vast genius and unmatched good fortune. The schemes of his po licy were fraught with great consequences, an dit was really worth his while, in his time, to drop the small bone of a State of Piedmont for its great shadow of an Italian Kingdom. There was then little to lose and everything to gain, and the Sar dinian finances might well be allowed to go to rack and ruin ; all was staked on a card that was very nearly sure to turn up a trump as it did. But now the great game has been played out and won ; the country, or, at least the nation, has been made ; the great edifice stands up quite—not nearly—com plete. Surely Italy is to be sought in the Italians, not in the ruins of Rome, or even the stones of Venice. If this country is to take its proper place among the members of the European community; if it is to show itself worthy of the sympathies its cau se has elicited ; even if it is to make good its rights over Rome and Venice, andntretch its boun daries to the Julian Alps and the Adriatic, it is necessary that it should live a life of its own, that it should stand on its own ground,—assert iiself. What can be imagined more mean, more undignified more ungenerous than all this shilly-shallying about M. Ratazzi's journey to Paris ? It was already sufficiently wounding to our national pride to know that this statesman, when he compassed the down fall of the Ricasoli Cabinet, durst not take the management of the Italian Government without a previous understanding with the French Emperor. Ever since that ill-advised Paris journey of Feb ruary last, the complaint has been that a French Minister has been presiding over the affairs of Italy ; and now, because that same Minister conceives that government has become impossible in Italy without Rome for a capital, we have a month's talk about a new Paris journey in October, and, what is more, a very long interview between the Minister and the Ambassador to ascertain what chances there are of such a journey proving acceptable and profitable. When M. Ratazzi gave up the portfolio of Foreign Affairs to General I)uraudo, yielding to the pres sure of Parliament it was well felt and asserted that for the Emperor of the French there would be no other Foreign Minister in Italy than the man of his choice, Rattazzi. We see, in fact, that M. Benedetti not only transacts business with the Homy Minister when the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is all the while in town, at his office, ready at hand, two or three rooms off—the said Secretary of State counting as the merest cipher —but the chief theme of the two great negotiators' conversation is precisely that Durando note About which, apparently, Durando himself is not entitled to be heard. Surely, this is a strange proceeding—sharp law yers' practice, as one might feel tempted to say; and all the while, as if Italy had absolutely no other task whatever except finding her way to Rome—or the way to Rome could not be thrown open by any other means than the goodwill and pleasure of the French Emperor—the whole of the semi-official Italian press seems to have no other task but the very con temptible one of raking up all vague, insane, or even positively false rumours, pretending to guess and reveal the Emperor's real mind as to the solu tion of that "horrid bore" which is called the Ro man question ! I shall not transcribe for your edifi cation the offensive scraps of news by which the Discussione, the Italie, and the Monarchia Nazion ale regularly and systematically impose upon a gul lible public. Mere eagerness for the sale of some hundred additional copies may be for the editor of an unprincipled paper an irresistible temptation to lie ; but I can assure you, men of the highest stand ing in the Government, and even members of the Cabinet here, do not disdain to sanction and even to start the idlest reports on their own responsibility, and think they have sufficiently acquitted them selves of their duty as rulers of the country if they can quiet the curious idlers by supplying even the east wholesome garbage to the general appetite for news. There are many men of honour and principle in Italy, as I said, who are heartily sick of this un worthy truckling to the morbid tendencies of the people. There are men who think that the evil should be looked boldly in the face, and who feel sure all the Emperor's devices will come to nought the moment the Italians cease to look up to him as to their special providence. The Em peror of the French is at Rome, and shows no pre sent intention to quit it. The Italian nation have declared that Rome is their own ground, their natural, eternal capital. There let the question rest, and let not another word be wasted on the subject. France is unwilling to give up to Italy her capital, Italy is prevented by gratitude, or by weak ness, from attempting to oust France from Rome by might of arms, Be it so. Each party has given out its ultimatum ; French obstinacy is not to be deprecated, nor Italian dignity to be compromised. Let there be no entreaty, no reproach or recrimina tion. Jacob had worked seven years for Rachel ; he had to put up with Leah ; he went to work for seven years more ; at the end of this second period it was out of Laban's power again to outwit hiro • Italy cannot have her capital; she must s ho t w . e t g he in world that she can live without i t .

STAMPED ....sd. industry, public prosperity, the cause of education, of moralty, of humanity, exhibit signs of rapid progress. Let Italy, in short, constitute itself into a nation of men ; only then will hec reasonable wishes be gratified, when she has attains great ness and strength enough to take no denial. There is little doubt among honest patriots in Italy as to the soundness and opportunity of this policy ; there is only some misgiving as to the men fit to carry it into execution. It would be necessary to appear before Parliament; to have the courage to declare that all negotiations with France have foundered ; that the Roman question must be left iu abeyance; that war with Austria is a remote contingency; that the Kingdom of Italy must for an indefinite period remain within its present limits; that all the energies of the country should be turned to the arrangement of internal, not of external, affairs. Little gain would it to be to the Italians to have Rome and Venice if they failed to rid Naples of its camorra and brigandage, Palermo of its stabbing societies, Milan, Bologna, and Turin itself of their prowling robbers and lurking assassins. Public security has made no progress anywhere in Italy ; it has gone back by sdfdrcl degrees in various quarters. This should be 'Matter for surprise to no one, for it is in the nature of all revolutions to throw many bad characters loose upon society, and there have been Bourbon bands, brigand bands, and galley slave gangs in sufficient number dispersed about Italy to give work for years to the most active po lice ; but if the sad phenomenon may be explained, it is no less to be deplored ; insecurity is no less a crying evil, and ft remedy need no less be sought with greater eagerness than the Italians evir i their unavailing agitation for Rome. As tht of the country, so every other branch of admin.stra tionjs in the most imperfect and unsatisfactory state, and it is but too natural that so it should be. That there should be evil, and very serious evil, no one need be surprised ; but the world will soon he not only astonished, but also disgusted, if the Italians, instead of manfully grappling with it, con tinue to lie down, helpless and peevish, crying, like children, for Rome and Venice, as if the acquisition of Rome and Venice, by slackening their exertions in proportion to the fulfilling of their objects, were not more likely to add to their evils than put an end :o them. It is said, and not without some show of reason, that the protracted solution of the Roman question, as the attainment of that object, is not to be hastened by any display of energy or by any bold resolution, has a tendency to paralyse the Italians' activity and perpetuate their helplessness and de spondency. The fault, however, in my opinion, lies not with the people, but with their rulers. None of the Italian Ministers, since Cavour mystified them with their vote about "Rome for a capital," and the form of a "Free Church in a Free State" (political ideas which could receive their de velopment by himself alone)—none of the Italian statesmen, I said, has dared to speak out to the Italians, to lay the real state of affairs before them, to appeal to their senses, to call forth their real strength. They have trained them to an expectant, transitional, pusillanimous policy ; they have taught them to look to Paris for salvation, to lean on its oracles, to watch its nods and becks, to accept its statesmen and statesmanship. Were the Emperor even full of the best intentions towards the Italians, he cannot help them so long as they lean so heavily and indolently on his support. Italy must have a career, a tendency, a life of its own. So far as Rome is concerned, she may have, perhaps, to com pound with France. To obtain Venice she may have to reckon with all Europe; but to unite, orga nise, and tranquillise her own territory, to make it thoroughly and permanently her own, is a task which lies with herself alone, in which she ought not only never to require or solicit, but strongly and indignantly to reject, all aid, and to resent all in terference. The mere habit of managing her own internal affairs will give her nerve, weight, and determination to steer her foreign policy. When Italy has achieved a complete victory over herself Rome and Venice will fall to her of their own accord, as something that it may no longer be pos sible—that it may no longer be worth while—for her foes to withhold from her. ME NAVY. The Black Eagle and Vivid, accompanying the squadron employed in escorting the Queen and royal family to England, are expected to return to Woolwich during the day ; and if the weather should continue unfavourable for her Majesty's passage direct to Osborne, instructions have been forwarded to Woolwich that the Queen will take the Fairy and land at Woolwich dockyard.

The Psyche is under sailing orders for the Mediterranean, and is expected to sail from Wool wich early next week. The paddlewheel steamer Spitfire, in charge of Mr. Jones, chief engineer, has completed her repairs at Woolwich, and yesterday went down the river on trial of her boilers and machinery. The trip was highly successful. The clutch gear and every portion of the engines are reported to have worked well. The Spitfire will sail shortly for Bermuda to relieve the Kite, employed in harbour service there. The steam storeshipßhadamanthus, Master-Com. Sturdee, was yesterday taken into basin at Wool wich, to ship steam-gear for the western yards.

His Royal Highness impresses on lecturers the following points : -1 . Lec tures should not exceed one hour in delivery. 2. They should be made as interesting as possible, statistical at-td dry details being omitted, unless the lecturer con siders it absolutely necessary that such should be mentioned; for the sake of illustration or comparison. 3.

Both companies have been raised to their full complement. The light infantry divisions of the Royal Marines being considerably in excess of their proper esta blishment, it is intended to augment the Royal Marine Artillery from the Light Infantry com panies. In accordance with directions to that effect received from the Admiralty, volunteering for the Marine Artillery has been opened at the head quarters of the Chatham division, the shore strength of which is now upwards of 1,200 men of all ranks. A limited number only of volunteers are required, and as it is necessary that they should possess a fair amount of intelligence, no man will be accepted who is not able to read and write with facility; in addition to which each is required to give proof that he possesses a tolerable knowledge of arithmetic. Volunteers must also possess a good character, be at least 5 feet 8 inches in height, and not under 34 inches in circumference round the chest. Serg. George Cole, pay sergeant 9th company Royal Engineers, was yesterday presented with a silver tea service on his leaving the 9th company R.E. 7HE BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Delta, Captain J. Weeks, bringing the heavy portion of these mails, in charge of Mr. A. Douglas, of the General Post-office, arrived at Southampton at 2.30 p.m. yesterday. She left Alexandria on , the sth inst., Malta on the Bth, and Gibraltar on the 12th. The first part of the voyage the Delta had fine weather and light breezes, a heavy north-wes terly swell across the Bay of Biscay, and a heavy south-westerly gale in the Channel. The Delta brought 32 passengers (19 first class and 13 second) including Sir H. and Lady Johnston and family, Major Hogge, and Ensign Hitchcock, from Mauritius ; Captain Thomas, Lieut. Lewis, Captain Callen, and Ensign Coussemaker_ from Bombay, &c. Her cargo comprised £1,456 in specie, 3,909 bales of silk, and 136 packages of general merchandise.

The Os borne proceeded at 5.30 p.m. the same day. Lord Londesborough's yacht Albertine left Gib raltar on the 12th inst., at 6 p.m., for the eastward. Advices received at Gibraltar from the Barbary ports report that European trade with the coast is likely to be greatly diminished in consequence of a decree of the Emperor prohibiting the exportation of wool and cereals from and after the 10th inst. At Mogador the British Vice-Consul assembled her Majesty's subjects on the Ist inst., and officially acquainted them with the decree. Some advices mention the probability that the decree would not be rigorously enforced to the day, but that a reasonable time would be allowed for the embarka tion of the stocks accumulated at the ports, which were purchased on the faith of the export trade being open. Letters from Tangier announce the return to his post of Senor Merry, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires. M. Beclard, French Charge d'Affaires in Wallachia, is said to have bean appointed Minister Resident at the Court of Morocco.
