MR MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The influx of gold into the Bank of England is still maintained, and owing to the extensive supplies coming forward, and the limited remittances to France and other places, it is firmly believed that a further considerable accumulation of bullion will yet be witnessed. Indeed, gold is now dearer in London than in Paris or Hamburg, and a resumptian of the d ra i n to those cities is t h erefore not imme diately anticipated. Since this day week, nearly -£300,000 has been sent into the national establish ment, and, besides what may be received from Russia, America and'other places, £1,300,000 is en route from the Antipodes, and will probably arrive here within th the next few weeks. The specie movement, there fore, could scarcely be more satisfactory. Even the exports of silver to the East are on the most reduced Scale. The present extraordinary importation of the precious metals, it is contended, must assist in preserv ing the money market in the easy state to which the Public have now been accustomed for several months. Although a larger field is open for the employment of the funds available in Lombard-street, and the te rms, perhaps, are a shade higher, an impression exists in discount circles that the period has not even yet arrived when! a permanent change in the position of financial a ff a i rs nee d' b e expec t e d. he resources of the market are too extensive to render it more than temporarily sensitive to the e xtra demand for accommodation resulting from the li quidation of Stock Exchange accounts, the sub ieription to the Indian and Turkish Loans, and the Preparations for the 4th of the month. It isust to observe, however, that this view is not shared in by all who are considering the question, as many are induced to believe that, in spite of large receipt s of gold and silver, the growing demands upon the supply of money in Lombard-street and at the Bank, abundant as it may have been represented, must soon stimulate a reaction at all events to a Point more in accordance with the average value of acco mmodation when trade is healthy and vigorous. The precise amount of gold taken to the Bank hsterday was £22,000, chiefly from America. Al though the exchan g e a t New York is _not suff ic ie n tly high to render shipments very remunerative, mode rate remittances are nevertheless considered probable. The expinions expressed by the speculators, in reference to the New Turkish Loan, prove that the Co ntemplated measure, is by no means popular at the Stock Exchange. It is believed, however, that an influential clique of capitalists, disappointed at not getting the loan themselves, are trying to frustrate its present negotiation. 'Whether they Will succeed, yet remains to be seen, but there can be be doubt that their endeavours are likely to have some effect, in consequence of the known exhaustion of the treasury at Constantinople and the little confidence felt la the political stability of the country. But, apart from theSe considerations, which are met by the assurance that a thorough financial reform is intended, the terms upon whi c h th e £5,000,000 i s now soug h t are liberal and attractive. It is understood that a fair Proportion of the first issue is already subscribed for, and that the applications are making favourable pro gress. Besides the above, however, a large sum is due upon the shares of the Copiapo Extension, g r and Trunk Railway of Canada, and Lombardo enitian. The amount due on the last is £625,000.

Fur arrivals of gold are reported, but neither is sufficient nor the influx of bullion into the Bank 1, sufficient to restore an appearance of buoyancy. The continued advance of the French Funds is also o w ,, l thout any influence here. Consols have been for money and account. For October they are 96 i. Bank Stock is firm at 227 - to 229.

Between 10 and 11 eiock, forenoon, a party, consisting of seven persons— ? aln elY, Mr. C. S. M. Somerville, chemical manure menu ileturer ; Mr. William Mitchell, shipbroker ; Mr. Charles 60,4teheon, lime and coal merchant ; Capt. Mackie, of the "natter Alert, and his brother, a boy of only thirteen gears of age, all of Montrose, with Messrs. Murray and oruneaton, lime and coal merchants, Cupar-Angus, who were l eft s visit, proceeded to take a sail in Montrose Bay. They I v" , 'Re harbour in the ship's boat of the schooner Vigi :, and sailed down the Southesk, close to the wind, with a ° a nise!! and jibset, and a pretty s iffbreeze from the N.N. E. reachin g g opposite the Ness Point, where the river falls w ° t he ocean, they had e v idently di scsvere d th a t t h e sea lt ,as too rough for the i r tiny ba - k, as they were seen to put k nit for th e purpose o f return i ng. C apta i n M ac ki e was the helm, and must have taken toe little sea-room, as the eat ran violently to leeward and went broadside upon a erga rock called the Stone, which lies about eight or ten top from the south bank of the river, and is bare at the at love water. The Stone must have been seen from the L boat, as the tide had not flowed more than half an hour. The tJnat was instantly ca p s i ze d , and the whole seven passen !era were precipitated into the sea. Mr. Mitchell was the fi rst to reach the rock, when he assisted Mr. Hutcheon an d Mr. Murray to get upon it, but could ren d er no i nt to the e th er four persons. Mr. Mitchell then swam ie th • e shore and gave the alarm. A messsnaer despett:hed to the fishing village of Ferryden, half a Z il e oft, and a number of persons were soon on the spot. Me e oft, the four unfortunate perseus had sunk to rise "62,tnore. The young lad Mackie, who was an excellent "'flamer was observed for a time to battle with the billows; and e h _ one of the men held on for a short period by the boat, v nt Was ultimately washed off and lost. The coast all around 4 , e, Ness Point is composed of precipitous and projecting 1 4 e a "; and the Stone, the reek where the casualty happened, t, l very dangerous part, a terror to the most experienced of Th efis hermen, and where many lives have been lost in the e e W ay.

The creature spraig at the boy's throat, and would have destroyed him but for the timely aid of some per sons who happened to be near. After being removed from the throat it caught hold of the thigh, and ultimately of the leg, and it was with the greatest possible difficulty that the cat could bo got to quit the leg. The unfortunate boy still lies in a very precarious state. The animal was more of a pole cat than the common dem9stic eat, being a cross be tween the two, and was quite rabid at the time. —Banff Journal, (BY SUBMARINE AND BRITISH TELEGRAPH.)

MANSION-HOUSE.—FORGING A BILL OF Ex- CHANGE FOR £46o.—This morning a gentlemanly dressed man, a foreigner, who gave the name of Joseph Ruscovitch, was placed before the Lord Mayor, charged with forging, and then uttering, a bill of exchange for £460, with intent to defraud Mr. T. Gillespie. Mr. Gillespie, of 2, Brabant-court, Philpot-lane, said that in the early part of August, last year, the prisener entered our office, and presented a bill of exchange drawn by one of our correspondents at Constantinople, and psyable at sight for £3OO. A cheque for the amount was given him, and be quitted the place. In a few days afterwards, the 15th of August, he again called and presented another bill of exchange, for the sum of £460, and believing the same to be a genuine instrument, I drew a:cheque on Messrs. Bar clay and Co. for the amount. From information received afterwards it turned out that the last bill was a forgery. The bill, like the first one he presented, amongst other sig natures, bore that of Mr. C. t 3. Anson, of Constantinople, by whom it was indorsed to the prisoner. A gentleman from the firm of Anson, Brothers, of Great Winchester-street, on looking:at the bills, said—The indorse ment on the bill for X,300 is a genuine signature, but that for the £460 is a forgery. Mr. Dutson, cashier to Messrs. Barclay and Co., bankers, of Lombard-street, said—On the 15th of August, 1857, I cashed a cheque of Messrs. Gillespie's for £460. I gave four £5O Bank of England notes and £260 in gold. Prisoner—l was not the party who presented the cheque. The Lord Mayor—He does not say you were. Witness—The party signed the cheque in the name of " J. Ruscovitch." Mr. Bailey, of the Bank of England, produced four £5O notes which were exchanged for gold on the 15th of August, 1857. On the back of each note is the name of Ruscovitch, Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square. They are the same notes as described by the last witness. Mr. Bakewell, merchant, of Great. Tower-street—l knew the prisoner when he resided in Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square. I have seen him write. I believe the en dorsement of the bill for £460 to be in his handwriting. There are other names on the document that greatly re semble his writing. Prisoner—Yes. I say it resembles my writing, but I neither signed nor presented the bill for payment. Mr. Gillespie is mistaken when he says I am the party. • Another witness feints Edinburgh, acquainted with the handwriting of the prisoner, said he was of opinion the endorsement was written by him. The Lord Mayor—l shall commit you for trial, but before dcing .o I have to ask you what you have to say in answ - -... to the charge? whatever you do say will be taken down in writing and may be used againit you. Prisoner—l have nothing to say. I deny the charge and re.erve my defence. The prisoner, who was taken into custody at Constanti nople, was then fully committed. pm 173/4 I2oi I MARLBOROUGH-STREET.— EMBEZZLEMENT.-- John Franklin was charged with embezzling several sums of money, received for and on account of his employers, Messrs. Longman, seal engravers and jewellers, Waterloo place, Pall-Mall. William Augustus Jones, manager to the prosecutors, said the prisoner was in the employ of Messrs. John and Richard Longman as errand lad, and it was his duty to hand over all monies received to either Mr. Longman, bis son, or himself (witness). On the sth of August, having received from Mrs. Atkinson 15s, Lady Burgoyne £l, and the Rev. William Kelk 10s. 6d., the prisoner came home, and taking out another parcel never returned. On being taken into custedy he admitted he had received the amounts in question. A constable said the prisoner admitted to him that be had received the money. He further said he had nowhere to go, and would rather go to prison than elsewhere. Mr. Jones said he believed Messrs. Longman wished not to press the case very strongly against the prisoner, as they chiefly wished others in their employ to be warned, and he thought there would be some difficulty in getting the parties to attend. _ _ _ Mr. Beadon said he should remand the prisoner for a week. THE ORGAN NIIISANCE.—DISTURBING AN AUTHOR. —Bar tholonzezo Pesasagola, an organ grinder, was charged.with playing his organ at 10 o'clock on the previous night, to the great annoyance of Mr. Charles Win. Day, a gentleman residing at 82, New Bond-street. Mr. Day said the defendant came outside his house on the previous night, and began playing his organ. He went out, and told him in Italian to go away, and the defendant did move a few yards, and then began again. He then told him that would not do, upon which he moved back to the former place, and, putting down his organ, began. He was obliged to follow the organ players, and give them into custody, for they seemed to have au idea' that, as long as they moved away, they had a right to begin again. They were an intolerable nuisance to him, and he was unable to follow his pursuits in consequence. Mr. Beadon, having been informed that the man was not well known in the district, cautioned him that, if he came there again, and did not go away when told, he would fine him heavily, and discharged him. z in 1131 1111 92; 101 1 109 111 109 111 110 9} THAMES.—THE PILOTAGE LAWS. —EXTRAORDI NARY APPLICATION.—Oa Mr. Selfe taking his seat on the bench, a constable from Woodbridge, Suffolk, ap peared before him with two warrants, signed by a magis trate of that county, for the apprehension of two Danis]] captains for a violation of the pilotage laws. EiMr.:Selfe looked over the warrants, and said as far as he understood them the ships of the Danish captains were ex empted from pilotage, and did employ unqualified persons to act as pilots. If the ships were exempted from pilotage, bow could the Danish captains be prosecuted for not taking licensed pilots on board ? He asked the applicant where the Danish captains now were? The Woodbridge constable replied that both were in the port of London. He believed that one was in the East India Dock and the other in the London Dock. Mr. Selfe—And you have been sent up to London from Suffolk to arrest the Danish captains and take them down to Woodbridge? Applicant—Yes, sir; those are my directions. Mr. Selfed--Where are the pilots who exhibit the infor mation on which the warrant is granted ? The constable—ln London, sir; the offence was com mitted at Orfordness. Mr. Selfe said be found no fault with the constable, who was acting according to his instructions, but he did think this was a most harsh proceeding, and should decline to " back" the warrants signed by a Suffolk magistrate with his signature. He had some doubts about the legality of the warrants; but setting that aside, he would not be a party to so harsh a proceeding as this, and countenance the Danish captains being taken out of their ships and transferred to Suffolk for an alleged violation of the law, of which perhaps they were quite ignorant. Mr. Widdle, second usher of the court, said that Mr. Yardley had refused to sign similar warrants for a violation o fthe pilotage laws on the coast of Suffolk. Mr. Selfe—l am very glad to bear that. If the Danish captains are to be proceeded against, let them be proceeded against here and by summons. All the parties are here, and I will not sign the warrants and allow the captains to be 'snapped up with the two warrants and taken into Suffolk. The warrants were then returned to the constable.

Law and damp qualities met a dull inquiry, at lat ctwencic7. The general condition of the supply was by no mums good. There was very little demand for any kind of foreign wheat. Importers, however, showed no ditposition to accept lower rates. Floating cargoes of gran sold at full quotations. Fine barley was scarce, and qui'3 as dear as on Monday. Low qualities were a slow inquiry. There was an average busine7s doing in most kinds of malt, at !act week's =fancy. Good dry oats sold stsadi , y, other kinds slowly, at Monday's prices.

The Emperor and Empress will leave St. Cloud on Wed nesday morning for Biarritz. The Prince Imperial will accompany their Majesties. The Emperor will remain at Biarritz about a fortnight, and will then probably proceed to the camp of Chalons. We may mention that the rumours current in the capital aitl► respect to the rsvages committed by smallpox in Biarritz were Wounded. Dr. Corvisart, physician to the Emperor, who had been despatched by his Majesty to ascertain the truth of these rumours, has reported most favourably on the state of public health in Biarritz. The Duke de Malakoff will leave Paris to-morrow for 1, -- ,ndou. The celebration of his marriage will, it is said, take place after the return of the Emperor and Empress from Biarritz. The Prince of Prussia paid a visit on Saturday morning to the Grand Duchess Mary of Russia, at the Russian Legation at Berlin.

TRANSPORT . OF TROOPS TO INDIA. The report of the select committee appointed to inquire " concerning the measures resorted to or which were available, and as to the lines of communi cation adopted for reinforcing our army during the pending revolt in India, with a view to ascertaining the arrangements which should he made towards meeting any future important emergencies involving the security of our Eastern dominions," has just been issued, together with the voluminous evidence taken before them. The committee, of which Sir Da Lacy Evans was chairman, came to the following resolutions : "1. That the inquiry which this committee has been ap pointed to conduct may be divided into three branches; the first, relating to the overland route to India; the second, to the employment of steamers, as compared with sailing vessels, for the transpo7t of troops round the Cape of Good Hope ; and the third, to the use made during the mutiny of the military resources of this country and of the colonies. "2. That the Court of Directors appear from the first in telligence of the mutiny at Meerut to have been sensible of the advantages of the overland route, and to have lost no time in recommending i's adoption ; but that political and other considerations deterred her Majesty's Ministers from at once assenting to that recommendation. " 3. That the committee cannot judge of the validity of those political objections, as they felt themselves precluded from inquiring into them ; but that they cersed to preveil in the first week of September, when the more serious cha racter of the war and the lateness of the season for ships departing :or Calcutta, led to a formal requisition from the Court of Directors, and to a compliance with it on the part of the Cabinet. "4. That it would have been desirable, independently of political considerations, to have taken advantage of the overland route at the earliest possible period ; and, apart from such considerations, it is much to be regretted that the step", that were taken in September to transmit small bodies of troops by tit's route were not resorted to at an earlier date. That the transport, however, of any large body of troops would have required previous arrangements, and that the evidence laid before the committee leaven great room to doubt whether any considerable reinforce ments could have been sent in the months of July and August, with a pre-pest of their arrival in India eo far in advance of those sent ronnd the Cape as to give any great advantage in favour of this route. " 5. That although the overland route may be advan taqcously employed in time^ of emergency, it would not be advisable that it should be relied upon as the ordinary route for the transmission of troops to India. " 6. That if steamers had been used in greater number., the reinforcements would have reached India mare quickly than they did by sailing yes:2ls ' - but that no evidence has been laid before the committee to show that, at the time the emergency arose, a greater amount of steam transport was attainable, whilst it has been shown that grave doubts existed whether the supply of coal on the route would have been sufficient fo- a larger number of steam-vessels than were actually employed. " 7. That steamers sbonld for the future be always made use of, as far as 7mssible, in urgent cr.es ; but that, for the transmission of the ordinary relief., the committee would not recommend the adoption of so costly a mode of transport. "8. That the Governors of Ceylon and the Mauritius gave early and valuable assistance to the Government of India, and deserve great praise for the zeal and prompti tude with which they acted; that the Governor of the Cape, without lo^s of time, forwarded treasure and horses, tcgetber w:th a portion of the troops at his disposal, but that he did not send the whole amount of the force which he was instructed by the Home Government to transmit to India; that the committee have not the means of judging whether the circumstances of the colony dii or did not justify Sir George Grey in taking this course. "9. That the committee observe with satisfaction that the people of Canada displayed great readiness to afford rssistance to the mother country, and that the committee are of opinion that it is highly desirable to give every en couragement to such dentonstratiens of loyalty on the part of the colonies. _ _ "10. Thaton the whole, considering the suddenness of the danger, and the distance to Wile!' the troops were to be sent, the committee are of opinion that great credit is due to the Court of Directors of the East India Company for the promptitude and efficiency with which they discharged the difficult task of transmitting reinforcements to the army in India during the past year." THE INDIAN AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—The Hindostan was five days behind her time in reaching Suez with the Calcutta and China mails. The Indus, with the heavy portion of those mails, is not expected to arrive in England before the Bth instant. The Cadiz, with the Bombay mail, arrived at Suez a day before her time. The heavy portion of her mail may be expected home on the 9th instant. The Emeu, with the Australian mail, arrived at Suez two days after her time. The heavy portion of those mails may therefore be expected in England about the Bth instant. The Indian packet Colombo, which was due on the 20th, has not yet arrived home. It has been already stated that the Benares was sent in search of her. The Benares called in at Vitro, and found that the Colombo had just left there. The former then steamed out again after the latter, but missed her, and arrived at Ply mouth on Saturday. There she learned that the Colombo had put hack again to Vigo. The Benares therefore started for Vigo the second time immediately. The Colombo and flit. Bemires will most probably arrive hom e at the latter end of this week. The , f 1":: o! the Onlon11) shows in a striking manner the want of a telegraphic com munication with Gibraltar. That steamer arrived at the latter port on the 14th init. broken down. Now, if that fact could have been telegraphed to England the Colombo might have remained at Gibraltar, and a steamer could have been sent from Southampton in four days and taken on board the India and China passengers and cargo, and brought them to England by the 23d. For want of that tele graphic communication the passengers have to be maintained at sea for nearly a fortnight, and have be en pu t most pro bably to the greatest inconvenience and loss, and their friends are waiting about for Om at the Southampton hobls. Great loss may be incurred also by the delay of the landing of the cargo. Altogether it is quite possible that a submarine , cable from the Land's End to Gibraltar might have saved in the case of the Colombo alone a sum of several thousand pounds sterling. 6hare. 10 •-• 1 Share.

The following report of the select committee appointed to inquire into the causes that have led to the delay in the construction of railways in India, has just been issued : " Your committee have taken evidence from many of the best authorities on the subject, viz., gentlemen connected with the Indian Government at home, officers of high stand ing and long experience of public works in India, as well as managing directors, secretaries, and engineers belonging to the different railway companies. " There are seven distinct companies at present engaged in constructing lines of railway in India, under the guaran tee of the Indian Government, viz. : "1. The East Indian Railway Company engaged to con struct a line from Calcutta via Raimahal and Alla hahad, to Delhi or Meerut, with a branch from Mir zapoor, to meet the East Indian Peninsula line at Jubbulpoor. "2. The Great Indian Peninsula Company, from Bom bay in a north-easterly direction to Jubbulpoor, and in a south-easterly direction, via Poonah and Sito lahpore, to meet the Madras line in the neighbour hood of Bellary. "3. The Madras Railway Company, from Madras via Cuddapab to Bellary, to join the line from Bombay, and in a western direction to the Malabar coast, at er near Beypoor. " 4. The Bombay and Baroda Company, from Bombay via Surat, to Baroda and Ahmedabad. " 5. The Scinde and Punjaub Railway Company, from Kurrachee to Kotree on the Indus, and from Moultan to Lahore in the Punjaub, with a connection by steam navigation between Kotree and Moultan. "6. The Eastern Bengal Company, from Calcutta to Dacca, with a branch to Jessore. "7. The Great Southern of India Company from Salem via Trichinopoly to Negapatam, and southward to Madura and Tinnevelly. "The first Indian railway project was broached in the latter end of 1844 by Mr. M'Denald Stephenson, who sub mitted to the India House a scheme for a line from Calcutta to the north-west of India, based upon minute information and statistics collected by himself on the spot; and, almost simultaneously, Mr. Chapman submitted a scheme for a railway frem Bambay towards the interior; a company was also formed in 1845 for the construction of a railway from 3Tr•lr - s tc " The delays attendant upon railway construction in India may be classified under four distinct heads:— " I. Delays arising from Government supervision at home and in India. " 2. Delays incidental to the execution of extensive and complicated public works under novel circumstances in a distant country. "3. Delays produced by political causes, suck as insur rection and mutiny, "4. Delays arising from the natural difficulties which the face of the country presents. "Your committee will proceed to notice each class of delay in the order thus given, but it is necessary before doing so to describe shortly the system of railway construc tion pursued in India. Indian railways are constructed by companies formed in this country, and incorporated by Acts of Parliament. In all their proceedings, operations, and expenditure they are subjected to the control of the Govern ment, who engage to grant for 99 years all the land re quired, free of expense, to the companies, and to guarantee interest, generally at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, for the same term, upon the capital employed. " The following conditions are attached to the guarantee and the granting of the land : " The railway company have the power of surrendering the works at any time after the line is opened, upon giving six months' notice to the Government, and the East India Company undertake to pay the whole amount that has been expended by the railway com pany. "The East India Company have the power, within six months after the expiration of 25 or 50 years, of pur chasing the railway at the mean market value in London of the shares during the three previous years. Incase the railway company fail to complete the line or to work it satMactorily, the Government is entitled to take possession, and repay within six months the sums expended. " The railway company to repay the guaranteed inte rests from the profits of the railway." " The supervision of the Government over the proceedings of the railway companies is of two distinct kinds, viz., that exercised in the person of the official director over the rail way boards in London, and that exercised by consulting engineers in India, to whom is committed the charge of superintending on behalf of Government all railway opera tions in that country. " SUPERVISION AT HOME.—The duties of official di rector at the various railway boards have hitherto been per formed by the same person, and he has, under the terms of the contract, a power of veto over all the proceedings of the board, but it does not appear that this power has ever been exercised; indeed, until a comparatively recent period, his functions appear to have been confined to giving information to the Court of Directors upon points on which they might require it, and to co-operating in the promotion of the various undertakings ; but authority has been lately given to him to sanction all indents (or requisitions) for stores and materials approved by the local Governments in India, and the acceptance of tenders for the supply of the same. " Previous to this important extension of the powers of the official director, every indent was submitted for the direct sanction of the home authorities, by a process thus described by Sir James Melva!, the official director The indent came from the railway authorities in India to the railway board in this conntry ; the railway board then came to their decision upon it; and if they proposed to comply with it, they stint a resolution to that effect to the Court of Directors; the Court of Directors came to an opinion upon it, and their opinion was submitted for the concurrence of the Board of Control, and when the indent was returned with the opinion of both authorities, the decision was com municated to the railway board.' Such a system necessarily entailed a very considerable amount of delay and corre spondence, and the best results may be anticipated from the judicious changes lately effected in this respect. " The process of forwarding instructions from the railway boards to their agents in India also seem to your committee to require improvement. Sir James Melvin thus describes it :---‘ The railway board prepares a draft of the instructions to its agent in India, and every such draft, without excep tion, is submitted to the Court of Directors; the court, ex pressing an opinion upon it, submit it to the Board of Control, and when both authorities are agreed, the letter is returned to the railway board, with an intimation that the Court of Directors offers no objection to it.' Considerable delays have not unfrequently resulted from this cause; and though it is, no doubt, important that instructions to their agents in India ehould go out backed by the whole weight and authority of the approval of the Home Government, your committee would confidently expect that the contem plated consolidation of the departments of the India House and the Board of Control will materially expedite the future transaction of railway business. Before leaving this branch of the subject, your committee would remark that the har mony which has prevailed at the railway board seems to be in no small degree attributable to the j'idgment and discre tion exercised on all occasions by the official director, and to the respect shown to his opinion. "SUPERVISION IN INDIA.— Under the terms of the contract the Government have an almost unlimited power of control over the acts and operations of the railway com panies, the inspection and supervision of the works being in every case delegated to a military engineer, whose duty, as described by Col. Baker, is, in the first instance, to ex amine the line of country over which it is proposed to con struct a railway, to examine all the designs and estimates, to audit all expenditure, to report upon completed works, and to maintain a real check over all the acts of railway officers. " Your committee hesitate to express any opinion as to the policy of employing military men in the inspection of railway works anti the control of civil engineers, but it is quite clear that to ensure cordial co-operation no small amount of forbearance and discretion must be exercised on both sides. Too minute an interference in details, while unnecessary for practical economy, involves constant con troversy, lengthy correspondence, and consequent delay, besides engendering irritation and discord where friendly and united action ought to subsist. Your committee are de cidedly of opinion that to ensure the speedy and efficient completion of railways in India the utmost freedom of action ought to be allowed to the efforts of the different companies, consistent with the control necessary to protect from endue expenditure the Indian Exchequer, upon which the payment of the guaranteed interest must for some time remain a heavy charge. —"Complaints of too minute an interference on the part of the Government consulting engineer have been strongly urged from the Madras Presidency, for the further details of w hi c h your committee would refer to the evidence, which complaints appear to be in part well founded ; on the other hand, your committee cannot think that the proceedings of the chief engineer of the railway company have been wholly free from blame. Directions have been sent out from the Home Authorities to the Madras Government to relax the extent of supervision in force there ; but it does not appear in evidence that those instructions have as yet taken effect. Your committee, however, have had no opportunity of hearing an explana tion from the Madras Government on the subject. " Other complaints, but in a minor degree, have arisen, both in Bengal and Bombay, though in the latter Presi dency the relations between the Government and the Great Indian Peninsula Railway officials appear to have been, for the must part, of a harmonious and cTti , factc.ry character. d,l , ji., idental to the construction of railways in so distant a country as India are of various kinds and degrees of magnitude. The cost and means of obtaining freight must always be regulated, and, in the opinion of many competent authorities, actually limited by the home demand for Indian produce ; hence the transport across the sea of the vast mass of dead weight] neceisary for the construction of thousands of miles of iron way, besides locomotives, iron work for bridges, and other materials, forms a cause of delay second only in importance to the difficulties which impede the conveyance of these ma terials up the country, where the means of internal communication are in many places very imperfect, where river navigation during the dry season is ilable to constant interruption, where boats are scarce, and native boatmen untrustworthy. To these difficulties may be added the want severely felt in many districts, and especially in Bengal, of fuel for lime end brick burning, and of timber suitable for sleepers, large quantities of which are now being supplied from England : the effects of Indian climate upon European constitutions ; the frequent failuresq contractors, unaccustomed or incompetent to undertake such extensive works ; and, lastly, the circuitous anti lengthy correspondence carried on between the railway boards and their agents on the one band, and with th• various Government departments, both here and in India, on the other; all these appear to your committee to fora sources of delay more or le , s serious, and must be classed among the main impediments to the rapid progress of rail l way enterprise in India. " Delays from political causes have been of frequent occurrence. In Bengal the Santhal rebellion in 1855 is described as having thrown back the works in the Rajmahat district for fully 12, months, and the evil influences resultinpi from it are not even yet at an end. The mutiny subsequently suspended railway operations in Upper Bengal and thee north-west piovhaces from May to December of last year,, and its disastrous consequences must be felt for some times to come, although the actual damage done to the works appears to be less than might have been anticipated. Rail: way operations in the other Presidencies have hitherto been happily free front the disturbing influences of iniurrectioa and war. "Lastly come the delays arising from the natural features of the country, such as the bridging of large rivers, and the surmounting of the ghauts. Mr. Now!, in his evidence, states that the whole question of the completion of the East India railway resolves itself into the rapidity with which the enormous number of its heavy bridges and flood arches cau be constructed. Along the Ganges Valley line, between Burdwan and the river Soane, a distance of about 400 miles, there are described to be no less than 47,000,000 cubic feet of brickwork, including the substructure of the gigantic sy. bridge over the Soane. "On the Bombay and Baroda line, between Surat and Ahmedabad, three large and rapid rivers, the Taptee, huclda, and Mhye, present considerable engineering diffi culties, and require co'stly and extensive bridges; on that important portion of the line between Surat and Bombay no fewer than 18 rivers have to be crossed, one of which, known as the Bassein Strait, is described to be 14 mile in width. On portions of the Madras line, also, the bridging works are described to be very heavy; but even the great works thus enumerated appear insignificant in comparison to the stupendous task undertaken by the Great Indian Peninsula Company of carrying their railway across the two mountain passes known as the Thull Ghaut and the Bhor Ghent, the former on the north-easterly the latter on the south-easterly portion of this line. On the Thull Ghaut the ascent is nine miles, the total rise in that distance 972 feet ; the steepest gradient, 1 in 37 for a distance of 11 miles 44 chains ; and the works include 1,962 lineal yards of tun nelling, and 614 yards of viaduct, at an estimated test of £49,988 per mile. On the Bhor Ghaut the steepest gradient is 1 in 67 for a mile and 38 chains, the total dis taace is 15 miles 68 chains, the total rise in that distance 1,831 feet, the tunnelling is 2,535 yards, and the viaduct 888 yards, the estimated cost being £48,188 per mile. " With the exception of the gbauts and rivers, however, the general face of the country seems favourable for rail way construction, presenting for the most part easy gradi ents ; and the very low price of labour keeps down the cost to an average for the whole country of about £lO,OOO per mile, while many of the less expensive lines are being con structed at a cost of £6,000 per mile. " Upon an impartial review of the early history of In dian railways, there can be no doubt that much valuable time was lost in the preliminary negotiations for the intro duction of railway enterprise into India, and else on ac count of the commercial crisis having arisen while these negotiations were still incomplete; the novelty and mag nitude of the undertaking, the remoteness of the scene of operations, and the nalural difficulties of climate and country might well have raised doubts and hesitation in the minds of the Indian authorities at home; but your com mittee are decidedly of opinion that had the matter been taken up at first with the earnestness that its importance, both political and commercial, deserved, in accordance with the proposal of the Court of Directors in 1816 to the Board of Control, and had the proposals of the originators been met with the sane liberality which has been displayed in the agreements with the different companies, our Indian possessions might ere this have been provided with many hundred miles of rapid internal communication, the value of which would have been felt in the facilities afforded for military concentration, and the more speedy development of their resources. But your committee have no means of judging of the considerations by which the Government were actuated in these proceed ings. With reference to the actual prosecution of the works Your committee cannot in fairness omit to observe that, though some cases have been cited in which the Govern ment superintendence has been productive of vexation and annoyance to the railway officials, and has tended to im pede that harmonious action between the Government and the companies which is essential for the rapid completion of these great works, no very material delay in the construction of the various lines appears to have resulted therefrom. From the evidence adduced, your committee are led to he- Here that the progress of railroads under construction in India will bear favourable comparison with that of English lines. Willing testimony has been given by many of the railway authorities to the value of Government control to the interests of the companies themselves, when rationally and temperately exercised. "Your committee have not thought it necessary to enter into any comparison of the respective merits of the contract and departmental systems of construction, the adoption of which must always materially depend on the circumstances of the district ; and it appears highly necessary that both systems should have a fair trial before giving any decided preference to either. "In conclusion, your committee are of opinion, first, that the Government hos acted wisely in committing to private enterprise the execution of these great public works; secondly, that a guaranteed interest on the requisite capital was indispensable to induce the public to invest their money in undertakings of this magnitude and novelty; and thirdly, that in order to protect the Indian revenue from undue expenditure, Government control over the railway operations is requisite, and even valuable to the interests of the shareholders themselves. At the same time, your committee would observe that, under a system complicated in its character, and necessarily somewhat cumbrous in its machinery, a system, moreover, the greatest defect of which is the facility it affords fur the evasion of re sponsibility, a clear end distinct definition of the duties, re sponsibilities, and extent of jurisdiction of all beads of de partments, and those under them, is essentially requisite for its smooth and succeln'ul working ; always assuming that due care be taken to entrust discretionary power only to men who are to be relied on Cs competent to distinguish an effective general control from too minute on interference in details. By a judicious adherence to the spirit rather than the letter of the contract, your committee feel assured that arrangements may be simplified, united action for one common object secured, and railway enterprise in India may before long assume proportions commensurate with the vast commercial agricultural and m i neral resources of that country. The COLLISIO N On the OXFOR D,IVORCL'ST_ER, and WULVERIT A MPTON RA ILWA The adjourned inquest on the ill-fated persons who came by their death on Monday week in consequence, of the col lision of two excursion trains on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, near Brettell-lane, will be held to day, before the coroner, Mr. T. M. Phillips, and experi— ments bare been made on the incline where the collision took place, the results of which will no doubt be give❑ in evidence. The Government inspector of railways, Capt. Tyler, has visited the locality and witnessed the experiments. He has been occupied two days in making the most minute in quiries into the condition of the line, the plant, rolling stock, &c., and has been attended by the secretary (Mr. Adcock), the manager (Mr. Sherriff), and the engineer (Mr. Wilson). Some important evidence will be brought forward to-day. It is stated that several of the injured parties have already been liberally compensated by the company. The points to which the inquiry has now to be mainly directed are as to the service of the brakes used on the train and the competency of the guard who was entrusted with their working. It is certain that when the coupling chains broke, and the hinder part of the train became detached, its already acquired momentum caused it to continue on its journey for a short time until that momentum became ex hausted, when the detached portion of the train must for a moment have come to a stand, after which it began to recede down the incline. At this point a small pressure of the brake ought to have stopped the train ; and if the guard applied the brake, and it acted in a proper manner, the train would have been kept in a stationary position on the line, and would not have receded down the incline. The question, therefore, is, whether the brake was an efficient one, and whether the guard appliei it as it was clearly. bis duty to have done. These are the points that ought to be cleared up, if possible. The van with the brake wasamashed to pieces by the collision. THE 1 - ficatr.AND SOCIETY'S Snow AT ADETIEEEII. —The proceediirs connected with the Highland and Agri cid tura! Society's show CCEUmenced at Aberdeen on M on d ay. Everything gives indication that the meeting r. ill, withou t doubt, be the greatest the society ever held, and, in some re spects, probably the best ever held in Britain. The number of entries far exceeds those at any former show, the total being 2,470. At Glasgow last year the total was 2,032; while in 1847, when the society's show took place in Aber deen, the number was only 950.
