The Friend of India, on the 10th of June also says— "lt is a singular fact, and one which seems to us strongly indicative of the want of interest in England about India affairs, that not one of the London papers we have seen has published the list of the Indian com mittee. Even the Atlas for India and the Borne News are silent on the subject, and we should have had another month of suspense, but for the publication of the list in the Bombay Gazette, who received it, we presume, from a private hand.

A CONSTANT READER. The charter d e b ate i n the H ouse o f Commons came off on the 19th o f A pril, when . Mr. Berries, the Presi dent of the Board o f C ontrol, mov ed for the appoint ment of a Committe e t o ta k e into cons i derat i on th e Act passed in 1833 for the :government of India. So little interest did the subject excite, and so complete is India the dinner bell of the House, that it was at times found difficult to keep forty Members together, although on a petty question regarding the induction of a half Popish priest to the Protestant living of Frome, no f e wer than nd and fifty m illi ons of beings pdre and melanch o l y re fl ect i on t h at 180 Members were assembled and voted one d a y after. t I f w O h r aeff w no h rt o dh s se e ma h ff a a apiprittersnfoeosf a for deep udhee Great Britain is responsibl e , came under consideration after the lap s e of 20 years, it was found impossible to secure the attendance of more than one Member in sixteen of the House of Commons. This debate has decided more than one question. Good go vernment in the colonies of the Crown, which are p eop l ed with sturdy and independent Englishmen, may be said to depend on the degree to which they are left to manage their own affairs. The wisest Minister we have ever had, as respects the colonies, was the old Duke of Newcas tle, who is said to have left the dispatches from the American colonies unopened for twelve years. On the other hand, the good administration of India at home and one more animatedg abroad od i rq n u d i i rae debate requires thanit n h e fi t hefvigilt fif ty Hd a i so n pu t as et e ofe dispatches s o f f rooi t e nn a m r to l i hn a es m e nt. does local authorities, or a hundred articles from the local press. Whatever form may be council of the nation that l - i v n e f n tu t i c o s the life l a n n d d ian onorey Administra tion, it is the interest tak en in its affairs by the great But this debate has taug h t Parliament can in no wisebebus the into it. paint ul truth that interest in any Indian question ; to take the smallest re quired to clear the House, a Me m b er that if it be ever pro nounce the name of India. The debate has only to us that the present system , without modification also taught provement, is to be perpetuated for twenty ation or with all its anomalies and defects. I t was .Y w e e a ll " k inore, that the Whigs, if they had continued in power , resolved to make no alterations whatever in the prese nt s 3 system. The charter of 1833 was a Whig measure, and t Lord John Russell had determined to apply hi s own principle of finality to it. Whatever trifling and w un important modification he might have been induced to sanction, would have been adopted merely for t h e sake of showing how little it required to be altered, and they would have made no alteration what ever in the working of the present scheme, which is, perhaps, one of the most anomalous which the ingenuity of statesmen has ever devised. It was on this principle that the Whigs refused the appointment of a committee last year, when there would have been leisure and opportunity for examining the question. If the Whigs had continued in power, therefore, we were fully prepared to dismiss every idea of any amelioration, and the debate fully justifies these anticipations. Lord John Russell maintained the superlative excellence of the present system of Indian Government, because, as he affirmed, this country was better governed than Tur key and Persia, so that the highest conception which a Whig Minister of England in the middle of the nine teenth century can form of the good government of a foreign dependency of the Crown, is that it should be better administered than a wretched Manorn.-dun potisrc, Bot was centinly expected that the CuOSPT vatives, who were not respomiink, for the Act of 1886, would not have shrunk from a thorough examination of its operation, the they would have made a root esid branch irquiry into the defects of th 9 lad,au adminis !ration; and, instead of continiog themselves, like the Whigs, to the admiration of the par, they would, like honest British statearneu, have addressed liemselres to the improvement of th,• future. t these hopes have been dashed to the ground by Mr. fl,trries's speech, the last sentence of which may be con sidered as the funeral knell of all reformation or fi ll . pro ve113.211t for the next twenty years. .‘ As nuw ad. v i aa d, I °Attend that the present system is the best." Even Mr. Hume, a radical reformer en every question but that of India, regards the preient order of ihings with p I .4 e ct complacency, and has no objections to allege t o it ' but that the Ccurt had not paid sufficient attention to r) king and irrigation. None of the Manche ster s(3d .m ch,ol :poke on the occasion. Sir James Weir Ilegg and Mt. Mangles, who represented the court of directors, lauded their own government to the skies, as in duty only this latter gentleman took the o p portun i ty himself on that m os t augus t obfouu avengingd, body, the pro prietors of East India stock, for eight years of humilia tion, by saying that he b e l ieve d th e present mode of election and canvassing - deterred many of the highest class of men who land returned from India from taking office,—and thus ended a debate more disgraceful to the British Parliament, from the total disregard it evinced of one of its highest responsibilities, than any which has taken place for twenty years. Under these circumstances, when the minds of all parties are made up to the perpetuation of the present system, the appointment of any Committee whatever appears to bo redundant. It would be far more advisable to pats a short Act of half a dozen lines to enact that the Act of the 3d and 4th Will. IV., c. 85, was extended to the year 1874. without modification, than to enact the solemn farce of appointirg a Committee which Whigs, Tories, end Radicals intend shad lead to no result. Alt these three parties is the House appear to be equally sa tisfied with the system of a double gov e rnment, which works well, alth oug h i t i s anomalous. They are resolved that the patronage shall not go to the Crowe, but shall continue absoltuely vested in ihe Court of Directors.n a reward for governing India—the most costly re ward, id be as Lord William Bentinck remarked, whic h thought of. All parties agree that India prosperous. di:etelled and hippy—that " she wears her plumed has been a cou ld turban with a smile of peace." There th ere h as largo increase of revenue, and i tn° outlay since the war been a grouter increase of ° ._ ll i t , h a oegatulation, ho c:eased, yet this is a subjpot ]std 1 3 b out in local improve in -the public c oa l e u l s i e ts. the N m a o ti n v e e y e h h a e s ve lascn aoployed been has been completely nation service; our administration Due native out of a hundred and on ar (who is this fortunate man?), alised, by bestowing fifty millions 1,5601. ti_ r Ye n2 840/. to 9601.

What need, then, o no hun re an erzot to c in q i u ll i i r o c n c s a i s terling t can g so perfect? What need of examining ra ban be for any inquiry into the working of a Sys. f government instrument, not created by design or skill, wiehmetleF an n tally put together at different times and by but accidentally different workmen, is not susceptible of great improve ments? But India i s a '• bore; " the real l anguage of t h e debate is, " Dont bother us with the su bj ect. Let there be no questions brought up which shall constrain us to bestow the smallest thought upon it." I s not India governed better than Turkey, than Persia, even than the Colonial-office, and w h at more can the or in habitants of India in all reason and conscience desire? DEATH OF AN ALLEGED BIGAMIST..--On Satur day Mr. G. Brent held an inquest at the Earl Cathcart, Munster-street, Regent's-park, on George Hathaway, house agent, aged 64. A report that deceased was very wealthy, and that foul play had something to do with his death, in vested the inquiry with an unusual degree of interest. The principal witness was a Spanish female, named Villaneuse, who stated that deceased collected the rent of two houses in Henry-street, Hampstead-road, in one of which she resided, and there became acquainted with deceased. Formerly he lived at the Hope Nursery, Camden-town, but his second wife had him arrested for bigamy, and, having refused s t e or b e - e admit him to her home after his discharge from, prison, i s but had took lodgings at 1, B - ook-terrace, Regent's- b pa us r - his meals at witness's house. She attended bed, from Sa weeks' illness, and during his confinement to p er Presence.

The public in general are invited to a consideration of the compre hensive plan of this Society. Whilst it transacts all the ordinary business of Life Assurance on the most liberal conditions, it freely opens its doors to those exposed to extra risk, and affords them advantages which have heretofore been denied. It grants Assurances against every contingency of life to persons of all classes or professions, on terms equitably adjusted to the risk incurred. SPECIFIC 'ADVANTAGES. This Society , grants Ariaurariets on therlives of all classear in 'Cludle Seafaring, Military, and Naval Service, as well as persons proceeding as passengers to foreign climates. 2. No extra premium.charged on Assurers who desire to travel be tween any port in the United Kingdom and any of the ports from Gibraltar to the Sound. 3. No extra premium charged for residence in any part of Europe, in Australia, or Canadas, or any healthy parts of North or South America. 4. Assurances may be had on the Lives of Mariners, to cover the constant trade between the United Kingdom and any part of the world, or the constant trade in any given place, ,as for instance be tween the East Indies and China. *** The premium for a specific voyage may be obtained on liberal terms. '5. The extra premium which is charged for residing in unhealthy climates, or for actual service in military or seafaring pursuits, is discontinued. on return to, and during residence in, the United Kingdom, or`the healthy parts of Europe. The Policies are then continued during residence at the ordinary premiums standing against the age of the assured at the time of effecting the assurance, evi dence as to health being first adduced to the satisfaction of the Di rectors. 6. The whole of the profits divided among the assured for life, all of whom are proprietors, and possess control over the management without responsibility. 7. Guarantee Policies for Fi lelity of Trust, in combination with Life Insurance, granted at little more than the simple rate for ordi nary Life Policies. K. All Policies indisputable, except in cases of premeditated fraud. No charge to the assured for medical fees, stamp duties, or any other expenses in effecting a policy beyond the premium. 9. The Directors give favourable censideration to proposals from diseased or non-select cases, at premiums proportioned to the risk, a system especially advantageous to parties whose health may have been impaired by over attention to business, foreign residence, &c. From the principles which are here briefly stated, it is evident that the system of assurance acted on by the Hope Office cannot be too strongly recommended. To all who have any surplus capital it offers a secure and profitable mode of investment ; it combines all the advantages of Assurances and Savings Banks together, for, in the event of premature death, a large capital is at once created for the survivors, that would require years to be produced by any other mode of investment.

AT AN EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING of the HOPE LIFE ASSURANCE and HONESTY GUARANTEE SOCIETY, duly convened, and held within their Offices, No. 4, Princes-street, Bank of England, on Wednesday, the 21st July, 1852, at the hour of One o'clock, HENRY MORGAN VANE, Esq., In th.

The assured will in future participate in the Profits in propor tion to the number and amount of the premiums paid between every division, so that if' only one year's premium be received prior to closing the books, it will obtain its due share. from 24% At the I , IFTII DIVISION of PRON'ITS declared in January last, the sum of 131 125/. was added to Policies then entitled, which sum produeed a BONUS varying with the different ages to 55 per cent. - on the Premiums paid, during the preceding flve years ; or ruin 51. to 121. 10s. per cent. on the stun assured.

George Rose, Treasurer o f t he Na ' ,n board the Blenheim, 74, in which ship, bearing the broad pendant of Sir Samuel Hood, he sailed fur the West Indies. On his return he joined, as midshipm an , iu June, 180 1 , the Lively, 38 , and in her, with other ship s in company, Oct. sth following, was present at the cap ture, off St. Mary, of three Spanish frigates, .laden with treasure, and the destruction of a fourth. He also, on the 29th of May, 1805, bore a part in a very spirited ~kireaish in which the Lively alone sorely galled, near Cadiz. the Gloriso, Spanish 74. Bring again, in Octo ber, 1806, placed under the command of his friend Sir Samuel Hood, be continued uninterruptedly to serve with that estimable officer, until the period of his death, which took place at Madras, Dec. 24, 1814, in the Cen taur, 74, Hibernia, 120, Tigre, 74, Owen Glendower, 36, Illustrious, 74, Clorinde, 40, and Minden, 74. While on board the Centaur, he accompanied the expeditions of 1807 against Copenhagen and Madeira, and performed the duties of signal lieutenant at the capture, Aug. 26, 1808, in sight of the whole Russian fleet, near Rogers , which surr e nd ere d, wick, of the 74 g un -ship after a close and furious conflict, productive of a loss to the Centaur (in company with whom was the Implacable, 74), of three killed and 27 wounded, and to the enemy of 180 killed and wounded. Twenty days previously to the latter event be bad succeeded, on the death of Lieutenant. James Shea, who was killed, to the command of the ship's cutter in an attack upon a Danish dispatch boat, which had in vain sought security under the fire of a body of troops and two field-pieces stationed ap had passed ona highcliff on the island of Moen. As soon as he his examination he was ordered by the commander in chief, Sir James Saumarez, Oct. 18, 1808, to act at lieutenant in the Centaur; and on 25th Novem ber followin" he was confirmed. In recommending Mr. Walcott for this promotion, Sir Samuel Hood, in a letter to the Comptroller of the Navy. Sir Andrew Snape Hamond, thus (after alluding to his very gallant con duct ' in the boat affair just mentioned), expresses him self:--` I can say no more to you in his favour than that I hope he will not quit me until he can get another step. g, good young officer does not exist.' A. more deservin A t a subsequent period, September, 1814, Sir Samuel, who was then commander in chief in India, end had it in contemplation to return overland to Europe, addressed a communication to the first Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Melville, of which the following is a transcript:-' My Lord,-The time of the approach to the termination of my command on this station being near, and having been enabled only to promote two of my lieutenants, who had been with me many years, I have to entreat your Lordship, should I not have the chance of another vacancy, to do me the kindness before I to promote to a commander my strike my flag, flag lieutenant (John Edward Walcott.) He is an officer whose attention and ability in his profession caused me to place him in that station; he served with me in the Baltic, Mediterranean, and this country in the same situation, and when my secretary was obliged to return to England from ill-health soon after my arrival here, seeing me in distress b e volunteered his services for both situations, which he has filled with much capacity and judgment. He is the son of a very respectable gen tleman in Hampshire, and will do honour and credit to the service whenever be is advanced. I have, therefore, to request your Lordship's protection towards him.' As a further illustration of the nature of the position held by Mr. Walcott near the Admiral's person, and of the circumstances which, as far as he was concerned, attended ' the latter's death, we may q uote the following p assage from Captain Basil Hall's third series of Fragments of Voyages and Travels'-' When, unfortunately for his profession and for his country, Sir Samuel Hood fell sick at Madras, and knew that his last moments were fast approaching, he called his faithful friend and old fol lower in many ships and many actions, Lieutenant Wal cott, to his bed-side, and said to him:-" It will be too hard, Walcott, to die in this country, but should it so please God, let nothing deter you from going home and ac counting to the Admiralty for my command to the East India station." These were nearly the last in. telligible words he uttered, and they serve to ,bow how strong, even in the hour of death, was his sense of professional duty. As Lieutenant Wel sott had served during the whole of Sir Samuel Rood's India command, in the double capacity of flag lieutenant and secretary, and had enjoyed the Admiral's entire confid=ece, he, and ho alone, possessed the means if accounting to the Admiralty for the measures corn oleted or in progress for the good of the service, and herefore the Admiral suggested to him the propriety of nis voyage home to report matters in person. The ,enior officer, who succeeded to the command in the Indian seas (Commodore George Sayer), felt so desirous ,f following up the friendly intentions of his lamented predecessor, that, knowing the late Admiral's attach neat to Lieutenant Walcott, he offered to promote him into a death vacancy, which had either taken place or was certain to fall within a week or two. Moreover, 'le assured him that after the necessary time had been served he should have tho first vacancy for post-promo don. These were, indeed, tempting offers to a young ,fficer devotedly attached to his profession; but they had no influence over a man bred in the Sam Hood school.' The Admiral's dying injunction appeared to this right minded officer fully as binding, or, if possible, more so, than a written command must have been in his lifetime. To England Walcott went accordingly, and the difference in profession a l s t an di ng w hi ch it made to him was this: -Had ho remained in India, as Sir Samuel Hood's successor proposed, he would undoubtedly have become a post captain of 1816, instead of which his name now stands in 1822-six years later on the list ! Had it been sixty times six, however, it would have made no difference in his conduct.' Mr. Walcott. returned home in the Malacca, 36, Captain George Henderson, bring ing with him, addressed to the Secretary of the Admi ralty, a letter from Commodore Sayer, proclaiming in ~ erms of high panegyrie, the opinion in which he had been held by the Commander-in-Chief, by himself, and • by the captains of the squadron who had had any oppor tunity, of witnessing his worth. His promotion to the rank of commander took place June 6, 1815; but from hat period until appointed, Sept. 14, 1821, to the Carna ion, 18, ho remained unemployed. Sailing, injanuary, 1822, for the West Indies, ho fell in with, in the follow ing August off the west end of Cuba and gave protection to the trade passing through the Florida Stream from Ja maica to England. A mistaken and singular opinion having been adopted by the committee of Lloyd's as to ,he degree of attention he had paid to the mercantile in tereets on this occasion, gave rise to a correspondence oetween that body and the Board of Admiralty, and led to a discussion in the House of Commons (on the motion of Mr. Joseph Marryat, the chairman of the committee), in March, 1823, when Sir George Cockburn, in address ing the House on the subject, declared " that Captain Walcott's conduct had been in exact accordance with the duty he had to perform. .In December, 1822, Captain Walcott joined the Tyne, 26, into which ship he had been posted May 6 preceding; and at the commencement of 1823 he again escorted a homeward-bound convoy through the Florida Stream. He was subsequently sent with the Thracian, 18, Captain John Walter Roberts, under his orders, to endeavour to effect the extirpation of the pirates cruising in the Old Bahama Channel, and on the ooast of Cuba adjoining. After searching 400 miles of coast, in order to examine the different creeks and inlets where small vessels could be sheltered and con cealed-an operation that occupied two months-he gained sight, Mtfrch 31, 1823, off Baracoa, of the Zara gozana, a notorious schooner of 120 tons, carrying 1 long 18. pounder on a swivel, 4 long 9-pounders, and 8 swivels, with a crew of between 70 and 80 ruffians, who, aware Chat their utteoities had placed themes beyond the reach of mercy , had bound themselves by oath, in the event of their being at any time successfully boarded by the Bri tish, to blow up not only their own vessel, bat themselves and their assailants. On perceiving the schooner, of which they had boon several days in quest, the two men-of-war, under the guise as much as possible, of merchant ships, stood towards her und er e a s y sail. On ascertaining, however, their real oharadter, the Zara 4ozana crowded all sail to the eastward, and succeeded in gaining the difficult harbour of Mats, where she was ioon moored, head and stern, with her broadside com manding the entrance,littlomore than a cable's length in breadth. At 130 P.M., the ships being far in the offing, Captain Walcott, wishing to avoid delay, ordered the boats, armed with two carronades and manned with 47 hands, to be hoisted out, and in person led them to the desperate attack. At three P.m., having arrived within gunshot, the British became exposed to a galling fire from the schooner and from several of her crew, who had been sent on shore and stationed among the hushes at the harbour's mouth. Having sustained and returned the fire for three.quarters of an hour, the boats, availing themselves at length of a favour able opportunity, gave three cheers, and dashed with impetuosity alongside. Pacic-struck at their deter mined spirit, the pirates attempted to save themselves oy jumping into the sea. Twenty-eight of them, how ever, including their villanous chief, Csytitano Aragonea, were secured, and the whole of them (with the exception ,f five, admitted as King's evidence) u l t i ma tely bu n g ed at Port Royal, Jamaica. Sixteen, who escaped froTitone, st vessel, were taken in the woods by troops sec s t e lo a o g f the :heal by the Governor of Barccoa. „- and 15 enemy during the fight amounted to 10 k illed wounded; while that of the British was , persever man killed and five wounded.

Captain Walcott's impaired state of health obliging him, in the ensuing May, to invalid, Sir O. Rowley appointed Capt. Roberts his successor in the Tyne, and gave to Mr. J. D. Robinson, midshipman, who hal assisted at the cap ture of the Ztrsgozsna. an order to act as lieutenant. Capt. Roberts and Mr. Bull had been left during the engage ment on board their respective ships ; but by the time the capture was completed, having followed the boats, they had reached nearly within gunshot. We may add that, during his examination of the different creeks, C4.ptain Walcott had found on an island in the port of Maranjo, a cargo consisting of 1,100 casks of wines and spirits; and that, upon his own responsibility, consider- ing the concealment of the wine suspicious, and believing it to be some of the captured property taken by the pirate, he hal embarked it. It was afterwards con demned and sold at Jamaica for 6,0001., two-thirds of which were dedacted from the captors for Government and colonial duties, leaving only 2,0001. to be shared ; whereas had Captain Walcott failed to establish the cargo as the property of the pirates, he would have been liabl e to the full extent of 6,0001. Since he left the. Tyn e he has been unsuccessful in his efforts to procare employment. " Upon the appoi n t men t o f th e D u ke of Clarence to the y Up of Lord Iligh Admiral, Sir Charles Rowley brought un d er the notice of his Royal Highness a state ment of Captain Walcott's services while under his command, claiming for him at the same time the deco ration of the third class of the Order of the Bath. In an official letter subsequently addressed by the Duke to the Secretary of State for the War and Colonial De partment, Viscount Goderich his Royal' Highness de sired that Captai n Waloott's name and services, accom panied by his recommendation , might be submitted to ee th the King, with th e v i ew of obtaining f or hi m t h e dis tinction Admiral wentho outsolicited. of office before o Unfor tunately oetiat,rn3rE t ac h nlea e gbi efil L ms o e r hn d at High ve n o couldt beenco me s into ne e ateffect,attended eand to.H Captain Walcott's lo He married, Charlotte Ana c , d aug h ter of Colonel John ru N a e ry n , ey lB , 1 0 9 i the Bengal Artillery, and has issue a son and two daughters." Cominander Henry James Lacon (1842) has been appointed to command the Daring, 12, to be commis sioned at Sheerness. This officer is the third son of the late Sir E. K. La con , B art. He entered the naval college in 1823, and after he had passed his ex amination he served five years as mate, having been promoted in 1835. As a lieutenant be served long and with distinction. He was lieutenant of the Cas tor, 36, and North Star, 26, under Lord John Hay, during the operations on the north coast of Sp a i n from 1835 to 1840, but was not promoted until 1842, when he obtained his present rank for his services as senior lieutenant of the Blonde, 42, during all the operations on the coast of China. As a commander he served in the Vanguard, 80, and now, after 19 years' service afloat, he has received another appoint ment as commander. Lieutenant—George A. C.

The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A. Firzclarence, and her tender the Fairy, are coaling—both vessels will go down to Osborne this morning. It may be probable that his Royal High ness Prince Albert may pay a visit to the Channel Islands during the early part of the week. On Friday next will be given the annual fae to the sea men of the Royal yachts and the labourers at Osborne. Rear-Admiral Superintendent H. Prescott, C. 8., went on board the Neptune, 120, Captain Scott, yes terday morning, at Portsmouth, and mustered the crew of that ship, and the officers and men attached to the ordinary establishment. Sheerness seems to be rather a favourite port for commissioning ships, although it is the worst for manning them. Bittern, 12, Commander Hon. George Douglas, has hoisted the pendant at Sheerness, and has com menced entering her complement of 125 officers and men. Daring, 12, to be commissioned by Commander Lacon, will also have a complement of 125 officers and men. Miranda steam -corvette, designed by the late Rear- Admiral Lord John thy, C. 13, has returned to Sheerness from the Clyde, having received her ma chinery there. As her fittings for sea have been prepared at Sheerness she will remain there until complete. Olin, 12, steam-frigate, at Portsmouth, has filled up her coal bunkers, but has unbent sails. WOOLWICH, AUG. 23.—The Resistance troop-ship will leave Woolwich at an early hour to-morrow with Captain Fitzgerald's company of Royal Artillery and detachments for Gibraltar, and Captain Goodenough's company and detachments for Malta. The companies and detachments paraded at half-past five o'clock this morning, and marched from the garrison, beaded by the band of the regiment, to the dockyard, at half past six, and shortly after seven the men were all on board, with the wives and children of those who were fortunate enough to be drawn—five in number being the regulation of married women permitted .to obtain a free passage with each company when ordered on foreign service. There were so many married men in the companies embarked to-day, that five more than the regular number of wives were permitted on p e, on their board for each company for a free passage, undertaking to find their own provisions during the voyage. Brigadier Mejor Bingham, Captain Harrison, acting in the room of Captain Riddell, Deputy- Assistant-Quartermaster-General of Artilery, and the Adjutants of the 4th and sth battalions, superin tended the embarkation. The men were much gratified to be allowed the whole of the day to stow the necessaries they have taken with them for their comfort during the voyage. On previous occasions they used to leave in an hour or two after their em barkation, and often became sea sick before the ar rangements for the voyage were all completed on board. MANNING THE NAVY.—A committee of flag offi cers and captains, consisting of Admiral Sir William Parker (chairman), Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, Cap tain the Hon. Richard Dundas, Captain Peter Richards, and Captain John Shepherd, are now sitting at the Admiralty, Whitehall, for the purpose of sup_ plying the royal navy with efficient and able-bodied seamen, whenever an emergency may arise to call for their services. We presume that his Grace the Duke of Northumberland has entirely discarded the crude and abortive plan bequeath ed to him by Sir Francis Baring, and has determi ned in vindication of the pledge given by himself at the commencement of the late session of Parliament, to put his shoultdoerthteoptrhee. wheel, and endeavour to accomplish that whi c h h as old andßng England system b y w hi c h a y puzzled and bewildered every first lord up s th en e t w d o a o y d , en vi w z.— alls a simpleof may be manned strient without having recourse to impressment.

In August, 1851, the promoters of the Submarine Telegraph formed themselves into a French Company (Societe en Comtnan dite), and, at their own risk, and with their own funds, established the Telegraphic Communication between Dover and Calais. ' ' • The cable was laid down on the 25th of September, 1351, and on the 13th November following :the telegraph was opened to the public for transmission of messages, and has since that time been worked without the slightest irregularity or interruption. The feasibility of a submarine telegraphic communication having thus been successfully proved, the promoters consider that the time has now arrived for inviting the public to co-operate with them in developing the resources and extending the advantages of this im portant undertaking. With this view they have obtained a Royal Charter of Incorpora tion, under which they will be enabled to work the existing French line, and to lay down and work a submarine line of telegraph to Belgium ; and this Company has concluded the necessary arrange ments for affording to the public the transmission and delivery of dispatches to and from Great Britain and all the telegraph stations in Europe (at present exceeding 203 in number), by a single payment for the whole distance. Contracts for the Belgian rope have been entered into with the Gutta Percha Company and Messrs. Newell and Co., of Gateshead, who have engaged to complete the same by the 11th of September next, when it will be forthwith laid down from Dover to Middlekirk, near to Ostend, from which point the submarine wires will be placed in communication with the general system of the continental telegraph. The concessions from the French and Belgian Governments secure to this Company the exclusive right of submarine communication. During the short time which has elapsed since the opening of the submarine telegraph between Dover and Calais, the development of this mode of communication has been retarded by the great delay and expense incidental to the transmission of messages at each end over the wires of other companies, and from this cause the public have enjoyed but a small portion of the advantages which this won derffil invention of modern science is calculated to afford. The Directors of the Royal Chartered Company have at length succeeded in making arrangements, whereby these impediments will be removed, and messages from London to Paris and Brussels, and vice versa, instead of requiring two or three hours for their trans mission, will be instantaneously conveyed. A company, acting under the powers of an Act of Parliament, are laying down a subterranean line of telegraph from the offices of the Submarine Company, Cornhill, to Dover, and have engaged to con vey the messages of the Submarine Company for one-half the amount now charged by the South-Eastern Company ; and thus, whilst the whole machinery will be concentrated in one place, and instantaneous communication secured, the Submarine Company will be enabled to make a great reduction in the scale of charges to the public. As respects the commercial results of the enterprise, it may be suf ficient to remark, that in the face of all the displvantages necessarily attendant upon its introduction, the first six months' working of the Dovet and Calais line has yielded a clear profit at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum upon the capital; and the saving which will be effected by the arrangement with the New Land Line will secure an additional profit of 3 per cent. upon the Stock of the Submarine Company. When the marvellous results which attended the intro duction of the penny postage are considered, it is difficult to form an estimate of the vast extension of business which must follow the development of telegraphic communication with the continent, under a system of moderate charges and electric speed —more especially as the cost does not increase in proportion to the business done, and as the network of telegraphic wires is gradually spreading over the whole of Europe. Out of the capital of 150,0001. now to be raised, 75,0001. will be set apart for the redemption of the 75,000 shares forming the capi tal of the French Company. The remaining half has been propriated in carrying out the contracts already made for the Bel gian cable, the purchase of the patent rights, the Belgian con cession, and all Incidental expenses attendant upon the estab lishment of the Company and the settlement of the Royal Charter. No further addition will be made to the Chartered Stock, without the express sanction of the proprietors. The allotment of shares, which was delayed until the Charter had received the Royal assent, will now be proceeded with, and any further applications must be addressed, on or before the 31st August instant, to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, 68, Old Broad str•et. Dated 24th August, 1852. WEST MARIPOSA.

By the last mail the Committee received advices of the safe arri val at Panama of the mining captain and staff, sometime since sent from this country, and that they were about to proceed to San Fran deco by the Golden Gate steamer, to place themselves under the orders of Mr. Macdougall. The Committee of Management have also to state that powe r f u l machinery of the most improved construction, from the works of Messrs. John Taylor and Co., of Mold, and Messrs.
