TYESDA., '!J),4' Energetic efforts appear to be now makin g for the carrying out on a grand and comprehensive scal e of • the wonderful system of the Electric Telegraph. I t will be remembered that in August, 1851, the pr o . moters of the Submarine Telegraph formed them selves into an association for the better development of the extraordinary power for good entrusted to their hands by the revelations of science. An English Company appears to be now in pro cess of formation to undertake the extension of the telegraphic communication between this capital and the various capitals of the European Con tinent. The grand cable across the Channel was laid down on the 25th of September, and on the 13th 01 November it was opened to the public; since which tiio the mechanism has been worked on the English e via ° 42 tan d the Fr enc h coas t w ith th e u t mos t f ac ility without the slightest intermission.

B eyond this, arrangements are being now made for layi ec „ down a s u bt e rranean telegraph from the o ff ice ' s in Combill to Dover. Immediately th ese preliminary portions •of the newly-organized system are brought to something like a state of corn pleteneos, eve may presume that more remarkable advantages will be secured to the public, than any that can hitherto have been anticipated. " Wonders will never cease," app ears t o b e i n th e se days a more comprehensible saying , than that which denies t he possibility of novelty— coming even, as the latter does, from tlae lips of the iueomparairle SotoMokl. THE SU N, Yesterday we announced that henceforth, in consequence of new arrangements made for the transmission of true Greenwich time automatically from the Royal Observatory by Electric Telegraph— every day at noon, and at four rat. a single beat or deflection of the telegraph needle is visible at London, Tonbridge, Ashford, Folkstone, and Dover, which represents Greenwich mean time. Admirable and startling though this must appear, •the innovations certain to be brought about by the intervention of the Submarine Telegraph Companyare equally certain, we feel satisfied, to surpass any preceding changes hitherto thought of in the way of inter communication. At any rate, while it is, of course , permissible to indulge in th ese won d rous day-dreams as to the future achievements effected by means of some miles of copper wire, it is but reasonable for a matter-of-fact race like the English to supply the " sinews of war" requisite in the first instance for the purpose o f ex t en di ng more an d more widely the benefits inevitably accruing to society from the de velopment of these electro-telegraphic communica tions. At present the number of telegraph stations in Europe appears to be about 200 altogether —a number which before 1853 has • elapsed will doubtless be nearly doubled, and so on, by a propor tionate multiplication of existing appliances, extended in the lapse of years to the limits of every reasonable requirement. It seems, according to a somewhat rational calculation very generally accepted as cor rect, .that by the 11th of next September the contract for the Belgian rope will be completed, so as to enable those entrusted with the subsferqomumeidndtpleokavrirerkran, to o m w e ht n he t ne s ate it nd, 4ow a n t f v o io rt i h ni w ty ith o to f la o y the submarine lines will be brought into direct communication with the general system of the continental telegraphs. Thereuponithe " beginning of the end" of the great scheme now opening up to the imagination becomes at once comprehensible— insomuch that any one may reasonably anticipate the possibility of instantaneous intercourse between the capitals of the different countries of Christendom. The gratitude of the public generally in the develop ment of this system of the Electric Telegraph is due, ofcourse, first of all to that science which has brought this astonishing power of nature to light, and subse quently to that enterprise which is so astoundingly facilitating the task of its development. Nothing satisfactory, at the same time, can possibly be antici pated from this development until such time es the electric wires in England have been united with those on the European continent. News received by the last mail brings intelligence that an important association had been formed at Poonah, composed of the leading Mahratta Sirdars and others, for bringing before Parliament their views and wishes respecting the improvement of India, in connexion with the impending discussions on the East India Company's Charter; and that it was in tended to send a deputation of natives to England in furtherance of their object. With influential heredi tary nobles of the Mahratta empire were associated, for these purposes, a number of other intelligent and respectable natives, and amongst them some in the offi cial employment of the Government. We now un derstand that the Government of Bombay, (rather, indeed, we should hope, some of its indiscreet Officials) have endeavoured to break up this association by alarming such of its members as happen to be in its employment, and so withdrawing from it those who would be most likely to give prac tical point and due form to its proceedings. The de vice has had some effect; and we notice it now, in order to warn those who may attempt so unworthy a mode of stifling the growing political opinions of the natives of India, that their names may be brought prominently before the public, and also before the Committee of next session on Indian affairs, if it be persisted in. If these meddling officials had possessed a spark of the true spirit in which India should be ruled, they would have been delighted at such a proof that the days have passed away in which Mahratta nobles would have taken to saddle and lance for far less weighty causes than the much needed improvements in the government of their own country, and instead of deterring, would have eagerly aided them in their first entrance on so new and noble a career as a constitu tional agitation for patriotic objects. We trust the members of the Poonah Association, and of the like bodies in Calcutta and Madras, will not suffer themselves to be thus discouraged. If there be disinclination in any quarter to aid them in seek ing improvement or redress, it does not lie with the public of this country; and nothing would render a greater service to both countries than so full and frank en exposition of the condition and wants of British India as its native nobility and ge n t ry are best qualified to lay before the Crown, the Parlia ment, and, above all, the people of England. Parliament sat upon the East India Company in 1834, and though much information was then eli cited, the altered condition of India, the improved condition of its people, and the elevation--by means of education and increased social rights—which the natives have obtained, unite in presenting a totally new and different phase for the observation of Par liament. Twenty years ago, su c h a t hi ng as an Indian gentleman visiting this country, mixing on friendly and equal terms with our nobility and leading gentry, would have Veen considered utterly impossible. Much more absurd would have been the idea of one of this class being received, by his SOVEREIGN, in familiar society at Buckingham Palace, a welcome, because an intelligent and intel lectual, guest. But, only a short time age, this was realised in the person of the late DWARKANAUTH TAGORE, who appeared simply 83 an Indian me r chant, v i s i t i ng England for the benefit of his health, and to see for himself what sort of persons were the actual rulers of his native land. So, also, even half twenty years ago, not only Indi a b u t E ng l an d wou ld have ridiculed the idea of the dignity of knighthood being conferred by the QUEEN, in acknowledgment of his munificent public services at Bombay, upon a Parsee trader. But of such an honour a native of India became the recipient, and we trust that Sir JEMSETJER JEEJEBROY may long continue to wear the honour conferred on him by our QUEEN. Another distinguished native, honoured and worthy of honour, is JEVANJEE PESTONJEE, whose enterprise and libe rality are well known at home and abroad. Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, respectively the capitals of the three Indian Presidencies, are n°w ao sufficiently European, in English tone, feeling, r and • ed ucation—we mean as regards their Ilindoo resideuts-- t h at the public cannot avoid concluding that from them great information may be obtained. previous to the renewal of the East India Charter. 'We see no cause for excluding from the list the na tive inhabitants of Poonah--nay, they particularly are entitled to be included, because, a s more I n di an end less English than th e nat i ves resident in the other gre at cities, they are more familiar with the points in most opposed to our Indian Government which are of the their religion, their worldly interests, their customs, manners.

It is capitals, what are in the Government people at impolitic unwise and attempts on the part of the than the Bombay to discourage higher natives to bring their v iews before th e Parliament and the people 0 f England. The Dec. Al a hratta Sirdars can Association, founded by (equivalent t o our own l an ded proprietors), includes and well a numerous body of wealthy, intelligent, educated native gentlemen thoroughly and India question, with all the bearings of the East want neither determined to be heard upon it. They acqu a inted class-privileges nor class-legislation, . but they are resolved th a t th e E as t Indi a Ch arter s h a ll not be renewed by the British P ar li amen t w ith ou t com petent native testimony on all points being of f`red to the Legislature. The natives 'of India have grievances and wants, the pressure of which t hey, naturally, are best acquainted with. Cu riously enough, at the head of Indian grievances is that which is the theme of agitation in Ireland at this moment. The great Mahrattan want at this hour is greater fixity of land tenures. Without this, the native gentry of India will gradually be a n - ' nihilated. •• Another point, and a galling one, is the I practice of excluPa natives, however well qualifi ed„ ' from partieipitieg in the great offices of the Anglo- ' LONDON, Indian Government. Why should not the Sirdars, if well qualified by education and character, be allowed to rise in the civil and in the military service of their native land ? If fit for high office, why exclude them ? We might go much farther into the subject, but we have said enough to show that, at the least, the natives of India have a right to be heard, and beyond this there will be found an excellent and comprehen sive article upon the same topic transcribed from the columns of a morning Contemporary. The par ties who oppose this may be assured that Truth will fipd a voice, and we tell them frankly, that it is better this voice should be allowed a free and friendly ex pression than a hostl'e one. Really Mr. WEBSTER appears to be rather anxious just now to seize all kinds of commodities in all kinds of localities, for the especial pleasure and particular emolument of the citizens of the United States. He insists, first of all, upon the right of the American fishmongers to be supplied with an unlimited quantity of large and small fry from the Bay of Fundy and other parts of the British fisheries. Immediately after main taining this in terms of the most desperate descrip tion, Mr. WEBSTER takes a violent fancy to the guano found on the Lobos Islands—insisting that those islands and their produce appertain in no manner exclusively to the Peruvian Govern ment—and being perfectly well aware that the said guano must necessarily be of the utmost importance to the honest American agriculturists. Never was there such wholesale and miscellaneous grasping ob servable on the part of the United States' Adminis trators I Fish is to be purloined from the Bay of Fundy in any numbers, although the Bay of Fundy belongs solely to the British Government. Guano, again, is to be gathered together from the Lobos Islands, although the Lobos Islands belong solely to the Peruvian Government. DANIEL WEBSTER, by the way, is always the claimant in these cases on behalf of the interest of the United States. DANIEL WEBSTER insists that the Bay of Fundy may be entered ad libitum by the American fishermen. The treaty of 1818 says—No. DANIEL 'WEBSTER insists that guano can be taken from the Lobos Islands whenever such may be satisfactory to the American agriculturists. The Earl of DERBY virtually declares that it cannot, insist ing as the PRIME MINISTER does, that the Lobos Islands appertain by right to the Peruvian authorities. Where will this appetite for the goods and chattels of his neighbours terminate on the part of the Secretary of State at Washington? His friends had better look to Mr. WEBSTER betimes, or de cidedly his freaks may become dangerous in the results drawn down upon the United States' Government. rEHE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris j ourna ls of yesterday. A decree in the Ma n it eur fixes the 20th of Septem ber as the day on which the Councils of Arrondisse ment are to meet f or th e secon d part of their ks sion, which. is not to exceed five days. The Pays says :—" The Minister of Public Works signed yesterday the concession of the Bordeaux to Cette Railway w ith t wo b ranc h lines, one to Bayonne, and the other to Perpignan, to a company formed of the companies PEREIRE-ESEELETA,DAVID SALOMONS, GRIMALDI, and others. The duration of the conces sion is to be ninety-nine yea rs, and the State guaran tees a .minimum of interest of four per cent. .The branch line to Bayonne was added to the original project at the pressing solicitations of the Spanish Go vernment, which has undertaken to have a railway executed from Madrid to the French frontier as far as Irun. The branch line to Perpignan is to join the Barcelona railway at a point on the frontier of the Pyrenees-Orientales. • A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic con vokes the electoral colleges of the 31 and 4th circum scriptions of the department of the Seine for the 26th September, in order to elect two deputies in the room of General CAVAIGNAC and M. CARROT. The Bulletin des Lois contains a decree from the PRESIDENT of the Republic, by which several retir ing pensions are accorded to 75 persons belonging to the army. At the head of the table which accompa nies this decree are the mimes of Generals BEDEAU and CHANGARNIER, but not those of Generals DE LAMORICIERE and LEFLO. The pension assigned to the two former is 6,000 f. each. In the column of the table relating to " the present position of the persons named," is set down en disponibilite; and in another column, marking their residence, is set down Paris. These pensions run from June 5, 1852. Yesterday was a great day at Versailles. The PRINCE was there for the purpose of distributing se veral Crosses of Honour, and availed himself of the occasion to pass the garrison in review. It consisted of six regiments—two of carabiniers, two of cuiras siere, one of dragoons, and one of th e line. In passing the PRINCE, which the cavalry did in open column of squadrons, and at a walk, the acclamations of " Vive 'Empereur I" burst forth with an enthusiasm and an unanimity which have probably never been equalled, certainly not excelled. There was no dif ference of opinion ; no other cry. The spectators, who were exceedingly numerous, were necessarily at too great a distance to take much part in this acclaim, but at the termination of the review, they closed in round the PRINCE, and hailed him with the same im perial title. The weather was beautiful, the grandes eaux played, and, altogether, the beauty and the ex citement of the scene were things to be long remem bered. The Debats says,—" dye are informed that M. DRouYN DE LIIIITS yesterday signed with the Bel gian Plenipotentiaries a convention for the protec tion of literary property. This is a measure the im portance of which we need not enlarge upon. It is said that another convention granting certain com mercial advantages to Belgium was signed at the name time." Four of the political prisoners at Belle-Isle, viz., DURAND, who had been condemned to death, but had his sentence commuted to transportation; LAINE, who had still 18 months of imprisonment to undergo; PREvoT, who had five months and a half to remain ; and MOUNIN, who had ten, are set at liberty. Two others' have had their sentences commuted—VE.les, who we condemned to transportation, is to be im prisoned for ten years ; and a man named Re- CRARD, who wea sentenced to ten years' imprison ment, of which ho had seven to remain in prison, is to be set at liberty in four years. The Presse, in its commercial review for the past week, states there have been large purchases of raw materials by the manufacturers generally, and that many of the manufacturers of what are called Paris articles, have received more orders than they can execute. The retail trade of Paris has, it says, been materially benefited by the influx of strangers for the fele of the 15th. It estimates the number of visitors on that occasion at 500,000, which is probably a great exaggeration. Fears are still expressed, says this journal, for the corn and wine harvest, but it is of opinion that the rise in the prices is more the effect of speculation than of the real state of the, markets. As regards wines, it shows that if there were noireason to fear that the grape disease may exist in 1853, as well es in 1852, there would be nothing to maintain the rise in the prices, as the: stock on hand is considerable. ThelPanecE PRESIDENT of the Republic, accom panied by the Commander-in-Chief and the Chief of the Staff of the National Guards of the Seine, pro ceeded on Sunday from St. Cloud at twelve o'clock to Versailles, where he passed in review the body of cavalry quartered in that town. A . considerable crowd of persons were present, and received the PRINCE with the greatest respect. After the review a reception took place of the authorities of the town and of the department. The grand waterworld played, and added to the animation of the scene. A. display of fireworks was given at dusk, and the PRE SIDENT returned to St. Cloud at nice o'clock. We read in the Presse :—"The Government is at present getting drawn up the draft of a decree rela tiveyears, to the construction of a crystal palace in the ex ceed 13 mil tong l arge square of the Champs Elysees. The building in question is to be conceded to MM. ARDOIN and Co. the state guaranteeing a minimum in terest of cent. on a capital which is not to ex posited in guarantee of i t o h n s of francs.

It will be composed of eight vessels, mount ing together 201 guns. They are now lying in the Bay of Roses, and the crews are daily exercised in firing and other manoeuvres. The Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived. On the occasion of the fete of NAPOLEON on the 15th, a service was celebrated at the French Church of St. Louis; and in the evening the French Ambas sador, General AUPICB, gave a grand banquet at La Granja, to 22 personages of distinction, amongst whom were the POPE' S Nuncio, the President of the Council of Ministers, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. At the dessert the Ambassador proposed a toast to "the Queen and her beloved daughter;" and the Minister of Foreign Affairs gave "The Prince President of the French Republic." At night fall the French Embassy at Madrid was brilliantly illuminated, and there was a large transparency representing an eagle with outspread wings, with tricolor flags, the cross of the Legion of Honour, and the letters " L N." A crowd assembled to witness it. The Council of Ministers have accepted the offers made by M. m •.4.ENDOZA for the construction of a rail way from Cadiz to Jerez, and from thence to Seville. The emigration to South America from the Basque Provinces, Galicia, and the Asturias, which for some time past has beetl very considerable, still continues. MADRID BOLSA 7 AUG. 18.—Three per Cents. were done at 45. a ; the New Three per Cents. at 23; the Debt of the first class at 114 ; and that of the second at 54. GERMAN Y. The Voss Gazette, under the head of Vienne, the 19th instant, states that the French Ambassador at Vienna had, in a conference with the Austrian Mini,. ster for Foreign Affairs, declared in the name of his Government th a t it would continue to use every effort for the maintenance of European peace, and that it regarded the treaties of 1815 as the condition sine qua non of the peace of the world, and the political equilibrium of Europe. In his turn, says the Voss Gazette, the Ambassador was assured of the friendly dispositions of the Northern Powers, and their deter mination never to attempt to force any form of go ternment upon France. ITALY. The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 20th, mentions some rumours of Ministerial changes in the Sardinian Cabinet• It is believed that Count CAVOUR will re turn to power, together with M. RATAZZI, who is now in Paris. Count PON ZA DI S. MARTINO is spoken of for the interior, Chev. VILLAMARINA for Foreign Affairs, and the Marquis D'AZEGLIO, it is believed, Will remain in the Cabinet withoutil special portfolio. The Official Savoy Gazette of the 20th announces the arrest of ell Englishman at Verona while in the act of making a sketch of the fortifications of that town. .It adds that after being kept a few days in prison, he was expelled from the Austrian dominions. The trial of Advocate GUERRAZZI, late dictator of Tuscany, commenced at Florence on the 16th. The court W 23 crowded ; GUERRAZZI, ROMAIIELLI, and the other prisoners implicated in the case, attended. The first sitting was entirely taken up with the read ing of the indictment. The first point to be discussed is the objection started by GUERRAZZI on the incom petency of the Court. The number of witnesses amounts to 370 ; many of those called for the defence having been rejected. The Court is presided over by Councillor NERVINI, and Advocate-General BIC • CHIERAI conducts the prosecution. Professor MON T ANELLI'S book en the matters which form the subject of this trial, has caused great sensation at Florence. It must be recollected thrt the author is implicated in the case as a defaulter. The prisoners are eleven in number, viz., Guer razzi, Romanelli, Dami, Lottrini, Cimballi, Piccini, Yetraccbi, Agostini, Pantanelli, Montazio, Capecchi. When GUERRAZZI was asked his name and profes sion, he answered ; " Advocate, late Minister of the GRAND DUNE, late deputy, late member of the Pro visional Government, and late chief of the Executive power in Tuscany." Before the proceedings commenced,'` the following protest, which had been sent in by GUERRAZZI, was read in court : .. Roving been illegally arrested, and treasonably and being no w t a k en f rom p r i son i u t k ,r e d p e t r in is to p a r pp o e n ar , before the tribunal of the Royal Court, I declare that I yield to compulsion, as I do not recog nise in the said court any right of judging me; all the l aws which regulate the competence of tribunals, and the order of trials having been completely infringed." On the morning of the 17th the President of the Royal Court adjourned the case of GuEnnAzzi to the 6 owing to the b a d state of the health o f t h at parson, who had h a d a v i olent fit on read i ng the m t h , hlet of M.

TURKEY. The news from the Turkish capital is of great The Grand im portance. Vizier, 1 ? .ivEDSCIIID PACHA, has resigned. The SULTAN'S brother-in , law, ACHMET F ETU I PACHA, the P ac h a o f T op h ana (Director- General of Artillery), has been dismissed. Au PACHA has been appointed ItEDscnth's successor.

All these ups a n d d owns too k place on the 6th, in the evenin,go On the pl ea o f no t b e i ng we ll and strong enough to bear the fatigue, Am PACIIA b c3 only consented to accept the office of Grand Vtzler for the tnotnent. Tine correspondent of the Oest Deutsche Post sees in all this a concession made to Austria. The French paper, the Union, contains the follow ing on thedifferences between the French and Turkish Governments : ,' Has the Ottoman Porte ended by comprehending the 1)0711 it incurred by its strange conduct towards France? Has France caused her voice to be heard in suet a way as to Comma n d t h e l eg i t i mate catisfaetion w hi c h she has a right to expect? The latest letters from the East cause us to hope this. Three affairs are i n st ispeuer, and exact a s o l u tion w hich h ereto f ore has n ot been given to them, in the spirit of equity, . justice, and international treaties—first, the gre a t question of t h e holy places; ne.7t, the investigation relative to the aesassinatiou of Father Basil, at Antioch; thirdly, th e repara tions doe to the consul a t J a ni na , f or having been struck zed insulted by Turkish soldiers, Other facts equally grave have edded to these causes of complaint. A Frenchman, M. Duvernoy, has been ill-treated at Constantinople, and the odious acts of violence perpe trated at Tripoli have carried the dissatisfaction to the highest pitch. In arriving at Constantinople, the Mar quis de la Vallett e was obli g ed to judge for himself the deplorable impression produced by t h e publication of the finnan accorded to the Gr ee k s ; H o -saw that the public °pil lion .was nothing l ess than that our ancient infl uen ce had been annihilated, and he ha s h a d to speak the firmest language. It is not possible, in fact, l for the Porte to co ntinuo for a lon ger period the aff ec t e d delays, and the derisive investigati ons which o n amount to denials of j ustice, and the manifest conc ess i o n s to the most formidable adversaries of our policy and preponderance. All these appreciationsand our prepond all these facts are confirmed by a journal which, it is known, has peculiar reason to be well informed. The Debats takes the tone of great irritation against the Divan; it states that the finnan given to the schismatics ' was of a nature to cause great dissatisfaction to the French Government, and to place it on its guard es to the man ner in which the Porte would subsequently proceed at Jerusalem in the execution of the arrangements e. „ . tared into with us relat ive to the hol y p l aces.' it com plains of ' the avowed protection which th e P orte casts over the assassins of Father Basil, and over all th e functionaries, great or the at or scull, who have e mployed all their efforts investigation, and pa.. to . ralyse the efforts of M. de Lessees, consul a t Aleppo.' And it Conclude s b y saying, with respect to the affair at Tripoli, , this affair has been the drop of water which has made tlioolip overflow. The facts have appeared so grave to the French Government that it i s said to have sent a peremptory order to M. de la Valetto to demand immediate satisfaction. ln this st a t e of o f Ministry has taken p l ace. things a sudd en c h a nge Reschid Pacha has been dismissed, and Ali Pacha, mi_ sister of Foreign Affairs, has replaced him as Grand Vizier. Will the now Mi n istry be favourable to F rench interests? The. Debats causes this to be expected;—' It is to be hoped that, the now Ministers will understand that justice and the interests of Turkey, rightly under stood, exact the prompt set tl e ment of difficulti es which have brought th e s ituation to this degree of gravity? We wish f or our part t o s hare these hopes, and we can not believe that they can be deceived. France has the most serious grievances; she demands reparations which are naost legitimately due; the most vulgar equit y can. not suffer her to wait longer for them. And a s .to the question of the holy places, we must say that she h as only to cl a i m purelyvnd simply the execution by Turkey and ell Enron:Au diplomacy of the treaties still in vigour, and especially of the capitulation of 1740. On that ground she is invincible.' ' AUGUST 24. 1852. ronmaGN. THE SHARE MtkttliETS. Railways. Nominal Prices. BRITISH RAILWAYS Business done to-day. Aberdeen 100/. paid Amb., Not., Bost. & E. June.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market was firm, but closed quietly at previous rates. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 150 Bahia, at 6icl. to 68d.; 800 Egyptian, at 6/d. to 9d.; and 1,000 Surat, at 31d. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were active at higher prices. The treaty of commeroe between Belgium and the Zollverein, which expires on the 31st of next December, will, it is said, lapse before a now treaty can be entered into. The ship Derwent, from Melbourne, yesterday, did not bring later dates, but had about 11,000/. in gold on board. The Nelson brings, it is said, about 90,0001. The Honourable East India Company drew bills in the fortnight ending yesterday afternoon to the amount of 131,1171. 199. 5d., the tatos being 2s. on Bengal and Madras, and 2s. o:3d. on Bombay. The proceeding* at the quarterly general meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday, were not simply of local interest. Many of the subjects to which the council has of late given its earnest atten tion are of general and wide-spread importance. What, for example, can be more pressing than Customs re form? And the energetic merchants of the thriving ont port are the very men to agitate for it. The formation of local boards, with a limited jurisdiction, is justly a point kept in view, repeated references and appeals to London being tedious in the extreme. A more difficult question, with which the council essay to deal, is the liability of shipowners for acts of smuggling committed by their crews. We see within the last few days a pal pable instance of the vigilance required by the fact of seizures being made on board the ships of her Majesty's squadron, but it is not easy to say whether a nominal responsibility is salutary, because to a certain extent the constant attention of the captain and officers, knowing the interests of their employers to be at stake, is better secured. It may be even doubted whether the least exertion would be made by the former simply to protect the revenue, which they would probably not consider to be their business. It is seldom we hear of a vessel being condemned in consequence of smuggling, but responsi bility must rest somewhere, and it is sometimes difficult to fix it upon the particular delitiquents among a class of mon not covetous of the title of tale-bearers. Upon cheaper postage with America, lower rates of pilotage in the Mersey and the Downs, and a better syst em o f commercial law, such as might be promoted by Tribunals of Commerce, the Chamber at Liverpool takes just views, and we hope will be persevering in enforcing theta. The following is the report just adopted at the meeting of the East Indian Railway : " The fifth half-yeerly general meeting has been con vened, conformably with the provisions of the Act of Incorporation. " The directors on this occasion have to state that the works between Howrah and tho itana.gtingo Collieries continue to progress satisfactorily. To complete and stock this division of the lino some additional capital will be required. The existing contract with the Hon. East India Company provides for raising such capital, and when the proper Limo arrive the option of sub scribing it will be given to the then proprietors of the old shares. --;" he surveys between Pundoah and Raj mahal, alluded to in the last report, have been carried to such an ex tent as to enable Mr. Turnbull, the resident engineer, to report upon ale general features o f the line, which are highly favourable to the construction of a railway. Mr. Turnbull's report is now before the authorities for con sideration, and any arrangements that may be made, founded upon that report, will be announced to the pro prietors at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Turnbull's report is open for the inspection of the shareholders."
