An equal number of vessels of still t2a lts soon ter power is possible at present in preparation, and will be sent as . _z_efore embarking in the present undertaking the Di rec t ors al not only satisfied themselves of its eminently pr fliture, but they had se cure d f or i t t h e marked co-operatioofitablen rd"t the Indian Government, by the acqu i s iti on o f a su b s id y; the Government, both by the gift of land for stations, orksh ops, and depots, of wood for fuel, and in every other sk y, / !a has rend ere d every poss ib le aid. to the present under ,..4,. At the, mime time the Dlreetove have hammed nom- Mete exemption from Government control and interference ; and this is the only Company so distinguished which pos 'leases any Government support. 4 , The Directors have the satisfaction of finding. that not only _me Reports of the Company's servants in Indi a , b u t th e Whole concurrent testimony of the advices received from that Sonntry, through whatever channel, completely confirms the favourable anticipations they long since formed of the profit able character of the present undertaking. It would be im i)°aaible however, within the limits of an advertisement, to anitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the , ',rectors are costconstantly receiving ; and they content them r-'Tes, therefore, with giving the following quotation from a ece nt leading article in the " Times," which shows that simi- T 4ar l(ifen correspondents informatio n had been reaching that paper through its F 'Times,' Jan. 29, 1859. I , e u It is not only ro G m overn the ment but the whole nation that seems ii /11188 Any day during the last year we m i g ht h ave fill e d Ali co lumns with the complaints of shipb u ild ers a t th e de ne of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy t. o r Thlation of the Russian War. But what do we now hear ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are t i; 4l ,!. Month after month they are expecting the steamers that d e e come. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company t t „re this month,' says our correspondent, 'a dividend b e A7 and upwards per cent. The Home Government had O ut r equested to send out six river steamers, and it had sent co t nIY one, which, it said, wouldbe enough.' month,' iZtinues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en e all the freight of s i x for two trips at a price which would r0 0 ,,„ e bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is itt o „'" and work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges ti o l e, flowing, as it does, through a territory with a popula -41„,?! 350 to the square mile, with an export trade o f • Yero , oooo, and an internal trade beyond human calculation. th e with this vast opening before us, there are found men in Va m P r inle of life, neither schoolboys nor dotards, who can v e ,,, s 'a their ti me i n h o ldi ngeneet i ngs and metporialising Go trnent to find them customers for their snipping. Many t 1 Tne ere this has war ministered to peace, infusing a q u i c k er ),,,,` l nent into its idle, dreamy soul. To this M u ti n y, p er h aps, elii:We the real 'opening of the Indian navigation to British v erk Prise, and the railways which are certain to follow. But a"nel gat ; we have said enough to start our shipbuilders Theinowners, if they are Englishmen." vid,Directors have all along felt that neither the vessels h av en , they have already sent to India, nor those which they e at present inreparation, could do much to satisfy the co u e „ 4t , Want of Inla nd Steam Navigation which exists in that Nva;'ry. But they have also all along felt that the only safe in t o O f entering upon such an u n dertaking was not t o rus h (130 it with sa n g u i ne prec i p it a ti on, b u t t o advance with gra la 51 a nd cautious steps, and without being dazzled by the ev er prospect of profits it holds out. The first steps, how- Q' ' l aving been successfully taken , the whole of the exist at 4'3hares in the Company havinq been allotted, and being re n lretnium in the market, and the field being so large as to Dir r a a large capital to work it in an efficient manner, the t ectors are of opinion that the time is come when the cam " t they h be Company may be advantageously increased, and a ve. therefor wit e, r hout solved to raise the capital to half a 4 ° n Sterling delay.

Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a deuee almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

The difference between true Spermatorrheea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

BASTARDY IN SCOTLAND.—NearIy every tenth Scotsman is a bastard. The registration returns for the year 1858 show that over Scotland in that year the illegiti mate births numbered 9,256 against 94,939 legitimate, the former being as nearly as possible one to ten of the latter. This is a state of things nowise flattering to our self esteem and Scotchmen, instead of glorifying their heroes, whether of the sword or of the pen, had better be inquiring whether the race of heroes is not extinct, i.e., if heroism is to have aught to do with virtue.—Banfshire Journal. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills.—The sufferings to which delicate females are subjected by ignorant practi tioners, and the no less serious evils they endure in cease- ' quence of self-neglect, are terrible to contemplate. In all disorders of the sex, and in every crisis perilous to the life and health of women, youthful or aged, married or single, they might regulate their own health without risk or trouble, if they would provide themse lve s with these pills and take them according to the printed directions, which are so plain and simple that a child could be guided by them. They are composed of rare balsams, without a tingle particle of mercury or any other deleterious substance, and are therefore as safe as they are efficacious. THE ARMY. Yesterday there was a brigade field-day of the whole of the troops now quartered at Chatham garri son. The threebattalions of infantry, comprising the depot companies of 18 of the India regiments, with the battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry and the Royal Engineers, assembled on their respective parade-grounds at 2 o'clock, and were marched to the lines, headed by their bands. On Major-General Eyre, the commandant of the garrison, attended by his staff, arriving on the ground, he was received with a general salute ; after which the troops, who numbered nearly 5,000 men of all ranks, marched past in slow and quick time, and were put through a variety of brigade movements by General Eyre, the various manoeuvres being executed with great precision and steadiness. After the officers and troops had been exercised in military movements for about two hours they were marched back to their respective quarters. The 2d battalion of the 4th Foot (King's Own), stationed at Chichester, were presented with colours on Tuesday by Major-General Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., commanding the South-Western District. At the conclusion of the ceremony the Major-General addressed Col. Whittingham, C. 8., and the officers of the regiment, and congratulated them on the general appearance of the regiment, and the high state of discipline it had attained since its formation. The 2d battalion of the 19th Regiment, stationed at Winchester, are under orders for Shorncliffe. Orders have been received by Col. J. T. Leslie, C. 8., commandant of the East India depot at Warley, directing 350 non-commissioned officers and men of the East India troops to embark at Gravesend to-morrow on board the Undaunted, 1,100 tons, for Calcutta. The 58th Regiment was entertained at a public dinner at Auckland, New Zealand, on the 14th of Nov., and embarked for England, in the ship Mary, on the 20th of that month. The ship was at Rio Janeiro, taking in fresh supplies, on the 4th of Jail., and is hourly expected to arrive at Cork. The 58th served more than 14 years in New Zealand, and in the years 1845, 1846, and 1847 saw much hard work in the native wars. The number of men re turning is about 200 of all ranks, all who could having obtained their discharge, to avail them selves of the free, grants of land awarded by the Auckland Waste Lands Act, 1858. IMPROVED ELECTRICAL CABLE. On Tuesday evening the Rev. Walter Mitchell, M.A., delivered a lecture " On the Atlantic Tele ' graph, and Electric Telegraphs in general," at the . Russell Institution. The most novel feature of the lecture, and one which elicited great interest, was the description of some very interesting experiments by Professor Hughes, the inventor of the printing telegraph recently described in our columns. These experiments have not only exemplified the defects of the present Atlantic cable, and the cause of the interruption of electric communication, but also afforded a demonstration of an easy method of pre venting such accidents for the future. A copper wire insulated in the ordinary manner was placed in a bath of salt and water. An electrical circuit was made, interrupted only by the water. The com plete insulation of the copper wire was indicated by the needle of one of Mr. Henley's most delicate galvanometers connected with the interrupted current standing at zero. A hole of • considerable size was then made through the gutta percha, allowing the salt water to reach the wire. The electrical circuit was then immediately completed by the water, the deflection of the needle, and its permanent position at DO deg., marking what is technically called " dead earth," or, in other words, the complete escape of the electric force through the opening into the surrounding water. A more minute hole was then made, when the following curious phenomena presented themselves. The needle of the galvanometer was deflected about 70 deg. ; but instead of remaining stationary at that point, kept vibrating irregularly through arcs of two or three degrees on each side of 70 deg. The per plexing vibrations of the galvanometers applied to the electric cable were thus exemplified. It becomes therefore exceedingly probable that the vibrations supposed to be produced by earth currents are nothing more than an indication of the minute nature of the flaw in the gutta percha, which has destroyed the conducting power of the present cable. To remedy such defects for the future, Mr. Hughes has devised a form of cable as simple as it seems to be effectual in performing its work. Grutta percha is more or less porous. Minute flaws may exist which may not show themselves until some time after the immersion of a cable. This was ex emplified by Mr. Henley, who discovered a flaw in his Tasmanian cable, which did not show itself until it had been three or four days under water. To meet these defects, to fill up any minute pores in the gutta percha, and also to cure any accidental frac ture or puncture of it, Professor Hughes introduces a visid semi-fluid substance of a non-conducting character betw6en the conducting wire and the gutta percha. The gutta percha covering of the wire is drawn out into a tube a little larger in bore than the wire, the space between them being filled with the viscid fluid. As soon as any puncture is made through the gutta percha covering the fluid oozes out, and is of that nature that it hardens as soon as it comes in contact with the surrounding water. A puncture was made in a piece of this prepared cable while in the bath. The needl e o f the galvanometer instantly reg istered dead earth, showing the injury received by the cable. But immediately the fluid began to ooze out and repair the injury. In about half a minute the return of the needle to zero indicated the complete restora tion of the covering of the cable. Not only was this demonstrated by punctures, b u t long slits, two or three inches in length, were speedily filled up. This i mitation of th e process by which nature repairs injuries don e t o trees by the flow of the sap and its coagulation opens out a good pros pect of overcoming the defects which have lately manifested themselves in several deep sea telegraph cables. It was stated that there were no mechanical difficulties in the way of the manufacture of such a cable, and that it would not be more expensive than those now made. The lecture was also illustrated by some of Mr. Henley's very perfect and delicate relay instru - ments, which excited deserved admiration.—Daily News. !ADVERTISEMENT.] &MIT AND T...TEARING.— SPED.
