LONDON TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1852. I-<,------. Energetic efforts appear to be now making for th e carrying out on a grand and comprehensive scale of the wonderful system of the Electric Telegraph. It will be remembered that in August, 1851, the p ro . maters 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 'm aws 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 th e 25th o f S e pt em b er , an d on the 13th of November it was opened to the public ; since which time the mechanism has been worked on the English coast avid the French coast with the utmost facility and without t he slightest intermission .

Y' m. a IT L THE SUN, 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 P.M. a singe heat 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 Company are 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 these wondrous day-dreams as to the future achievements effected by means of some miles of copp er w i re, i t i s b u t reas onable for a matter-of-fact race like the English to supply the " sinews of war" requisite in the first instance for the purpose of extending more and 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 e x tendednumber whi c h b e fore 18 53 has ela p sed will doubtless be nea rly doubled, and s a oo l n ia , n b ce y s a propor tionate multiplication of existing appliances, 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 subsequent arrangements forthwith to lay it down from Dover to the vicinity o f Ostend, at Middlekirk, when the submarine lines will be brought into direct communication with the general system of the continental telegraphs. Thereupon the " 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 inst an t aneous 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, of course, first of all to that science which has brought this astonishing power of nature to light, and subse tluentiyt to that enterprise which is so astoundingly fa cilitating the task of its development. Nothing satisfactory, at the same time, can possibly be antici pated from this development, until such time as 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 cf 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 Ptionab 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 an exposition of the condition and wants of British India as its native nobility and gentry 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 i n 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 pres en ti ng a totally new and different phase for the observation of Par liament. Tiventy years ago, such a thin g as an Indian gentleman visiting this country, m i x i ng on friendly and equal terms with our nobilit y an d leading gentry, would have been considered utterly impossible. Much more absurd would have been the idea of one of this class being received, by his SOVEREIGN, in familiar society ab Buckingham Palace, a welcome, because an intelligent and intel lectual, guest. But, only a short time ago, this was realised in the person of the late DINARKANAUTH a E simply theply in an Indi an mer chant,o visiting s who ing benefit o f hi s h ea l t h , Gitappeasedngland for and to see for himself what sort of persons were the actual rulers of his native land. So, al so , even h a lf twenty years ago, not only India but England would 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 ho nour a nat i ve of India became the recipient, and we trust that Sir JEMSETJEE JEFJEBUOY 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 irality are well known at home and abroad. „„Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, respectively th e petals of the three Indian Presiden c i es , are ; now so suffi c i ently European, in English tone, feeling, and educati on residents--thet the public cannot avoid concl u di ng that from them great • previous to -- we mean as regards th e i r Hi n d oo the renva ln o fo f rm th a e tio E n as m t ay lnd b i e a o c b h ta a i r n t e e d r. .

The natives of India have.. grievances and wants, the pressure of which I this moment. "ley, naturally, are best acquainted with. Cu riously enough, at the head of Indian grievances 1 is that which is the theme of agitation in Ireland at The great Mahrattan want at this hour is greater fixity of land tenures. Without this, the native gentry of India will gradually be an nihilated. Another point, and a galling one, is the practice of excluding natives, h owever we ll qua lifi ed, from participatin g i n the great offices of tho Anglo. LONDON, TUESDAY 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 exclud e them ? We might go much farther into the subject, but we have said enough to show that, at the lea , t, 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 find a voice, and we tell them frankly, that it is better this voice shculd be allowed a free and friendly ex pression than a hostile one. Really Mr. WEBSTER appears to be rather anxious just now to seiza 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 1 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 bad better look to Mr. W EBS TER betimes, or de cidedly his freaks may become dangerous in the results drawn down upon the United States' Government. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. A decree in the .illoniteur fixes the 20th of Septem ber as the day on which the Councils of Arrondisse aniioe• Tn n ,h t ew a p r h e iacyh t s o issa m yn e s e o Lf t o to :r e t x h o e e e second o d p a a y r s t of their ses signed yesterd a y the cTohnecesisiionnistoerf otfooPßubolridceNaVuoxrktos Cette Railway with two branch lines, one to Bayonne, and the other to Perpignan, to a company formed of the companies PEREIRE-ESPELETA,DAVID SALOMONS, GRIMALDI, and others. The duration of the conces sion is to be ninety-nine years, 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 Iran. The branch line to Perpignan is to join the Barcelona railway at a point on the frontier of the Pyren6es-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. CARNOT. 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 names of Generals BEDEAU and CHANQARNIER, 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 disponibiliti ; and in another c)luron, 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 siers, one of dragoons, and one of the line. In passing the PRINCE, which the cavalry did in open column of squadrons, and at a walk, the acclamations of " Vive Empereur !" burst forth with an enthusiasm and an unenimity which have probably never been e fe g r u e a n l o l eed, d o , fce opinion;a nlyn o n t o e o x t c h e e l i r e d. cry There. e e w sp as ec n ta o to d r if s, who were exceedingly numerous, were necessarily at too great a distance to ta ho k af e m itiehde u hr c e h part imviewwi review, nt t he h ye i s soa a lin c o c see l acclaim, at r b o u o t nd at th t e he p n t r N e a c i n n , a t a i n o d n im perial title. The weather was beautiful, the grandes c ea it i e tx m p e la nt y o e, and, altogether, fdthesceneweret the b eauty e t a o u b ty o l a o rad ng th e ex remem bered. The Debats says,--" We are informed that M. DEOUYN DE LHUYS 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 same time." Four of the political prisoners at Belle-Isle, viz., DURAND, who had been condemned to death, but had his sentence commuted to transportation; LAIN]; who had still 18 months of imprisonment to undergo; FREVOT, who had five months and a half to remain ; and MOUSIN, who had ten, are set at liberty. Two others have had their sentences commuted—Vials, who was condemned to transportation, is to be im prisoned for ten years ; and a man named Itr el:lmm, who was sentenced to ten years' imprison ment, of which he haft 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 bar, it says, been materially benefited by the influx of strangers for the fete 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 no reason to fear that the grape disease may exist in 1853, as well as in 1852, there would be nothing to maintain the rise in the prices, as the stock on hand is considerable. ThelPartvcE 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 persona 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 waterworks played, and added to the animation of the scene. A d fc. i oe a re p d l 3 a s y l33 ( , ): a fireworks was given at dusk, and the Pam -BIDENT returned to St. Cloud at nine o'clock.

SPAIN, Madrid journals of the 16th have been received. They state that the Spanish Government has decided on reinforcing the squadron cruizing off the Balearic islands. It will be composed of eight vessels, mount ing together 201 guns. They are now lying in the Bay of Rosas, and the crews are daily exercised in firing and other manoeuvres. The Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived. Oa the occasion of the file 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 AUPICK, 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 ber 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 with outspread w i ngs, w i t h tr i color fl ags, t h e cross of the Legi on o f Honour, and the letters " L N.

The Voss Gazett G e, under the head of Vienne, the 1 9th instant, states t h at t h e F rench Ambassador at Vienna had, in a conference with the Austrian Mini ster for Foreign Affairs, declared in the name of his Government that it would continue to use every effort for the maintenance of European peace, and that it regarded th e treat i es o f 1815 as the condition sine qua non'of the p eace o f th e wor ld, an d th e po liti ca l 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. vernment 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 Cevouu will re turn to power, together with M. RATAZZI, who is now in P ar i s . C oun t Porizs. 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 without a special portfolio. - The O f ficial Savoy Gazette of the 20th announces the arrest of an Englishman at Verona while in the act of making sketch of the fortifications of that town. It adds that after being kept a few days in prison, be was expelled from the Austrian dominions. The trial of Advocate GUERRAZZI, late dictator of Tuscany, commenced at Florence on the 16th. The court was crowded ; GUERRAZZI, ROMANELLI, 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 o f th ose ca ll e d f or th e defen ce having been rejected. The Court is presided over by Councillor NERVINI, and Advocate-General Bic- CHIERAI conducts the prosecution. Professor Mori- TANELLI's book on 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, Petracchi, Agostini, Pantanelli, Montazio, Capecchi. When GUERRAZZI was asked his name and profes sion, he answered ; " Advocate, late Minister of the GRAND DUKE, 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.:— " Having been illegally arrested, and treasonably kept in prison, and being now taken from prison in order to appear 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 th e 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 GITERRAZEI to the 26th, owing to the bad state of the health of that person, a violent fit on reading the pamphlet of M. Pn aLil who was governor of Leghorn, during the revolution of 1849, and who, being himself at liberty in a foreign country, has pub lished a most violent attack against ( 11 - UERRAZZa and his administration.

On the downs thel bear the fatigue, took place on the not being well and strong enough t o e atigue, Au PACHA has only consented toacceptthe office of Grand Vizier for the moment. The correspondent . of the Oest Deutsche Post sees in all this a concession made to Anetria. The French paper, the Union, contains the follow. . ing on the differences between the French and Turkish Governments :- 4' Has the Ottoman Porte ended by comprehending the peril it incurred by its strange conduct towards Francs? Has France caused . . ner voice to be heard in such legitimate satisfactio n n such a way as to comm and a right t o expect ? Th e l a t est which she hasletters from the East cause us to hope this.

Other facts equally grave h ave added to these caus es of c omplaint. A F re nchman, M .

And it concludes bY saying , with respe c t at tn the affair at Tripoli, ' this a ffair has been the drop - o f water which h as m ade the cue overflow. . Th e facts hav e appeared so grave to the Fre nch Government that it ' said to have sen t a peremPtorY o rder to M. d e la Valett l e s to demand i mme di a t e satisfaction.' In this state of things a sudden change of Ministry has taken pl ace Resciaid Pacha has been dismissed, and Ali Pacha mi . mister of Foreign Affairs, has replaced him as Grand- Vizier. Will the new Ministry be favourable to French interests? The Debuts causes this to be expected :—.i is to be hoped that the new Ministers will understandt that justice and the interests of Turkey, rightly lin d e , stood, exact the rompt settlement of difficulties which have brought the • ' to this degree of situation gravity? We wish for our part to share these hopes, and We eau _ not believe that they ca n be deceived.

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 61d. to W.; 800 Egyptian, at 61d. to 9d.; and 1,000 Surat, at 31d. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were active at higher prices. The treaty of commerce between Belgium and the Zollverein, which expires on the 31st of next December, will, it is said, lapse before a new treaty can be entered into. The ship Derwent, from Melbourne, yesterday, did not bring later dates, but had about 11,0001. in gold on board. The Nelson brings, it is said, about 90,0001. The Honourable E as t I n di a C om p an y drew bills in the fortnight ending yesterday afternoon to the amount of 131,1171. 19s. 5d., the rates being 2s. on Bengal and Madras, and 2s. Old. on Bombay. The proceedings at th e quar t er ly general meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday, were not simply o f l oca l i nterest. M any o f th e su bj ects to which the council has of late given its earnest atten tion are of general and wide•spread importance. What, for example, can bo more pressing than Customs re form? And the energetic merchants of the thriving out port are the very men to agitate for it. The formation of local boards, with a limit e d j ur i s di c ti on , i s j us tly 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 in s t ance ' of the vigilance required by the fact of seusures 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 c a pt a i n an d o fficers, knowing thointerests 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 b us i ness . I t i s se ld om 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 delinquents 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 system of 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 them. `!'ho following is the report just adopted at the meeting of the East Indian Railway " The fifth half-yearly 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 How•rah and the Ranegunge Collieries continuo to progress satisfactorily. To complete and stock this division of the line some additional capital will be required. The existing contract with the Hon. East India Company provides for raising such capital, and when the proper time arrive the option of sub scribing it will be given to the then proprietors of the old shares. " The surveys between Pundoah and Rajmahal, alluded to in the last report, h ave b e en carried to such an ex tent as to enable Mr. Turnbull, the resident eng ineer, to report upon the general features of the line, which are highly favouroblo to tho CUL/34111CM= of a ra ilway. 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."
