LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1852, Energetic efforts appear to be now making for the 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 pro moters of the Submarine Telegraph formed them selves into an association for the better development of the extraordinary power for good entrusted to their brads by the revelations of science. An English Company tippers to h now in pro cess of formation to undertake the extension of the telegraphic communication between this capifd and the villous capitals of the European Con -t.inent. The g ra n d c abl e ecross th e Channel wag l ' f i d x down on the 25th of Sept em b er , en d on th e 13th i vember it Van opened to the public ; s ince which time the mechanism has *Len worked on the English coast and the French corst IA i} 3 l the utmost facility ment has witho ut the so fa I slightest inPern . ssion.

Royal Charter has with this end been obtained al ready for their permanent incorporation. Bey on d this, errangements ere being now made for laying down a snbterranean telegraph from the offices in Cernhill to Dover. Immediately these preliminary portions of the newly-organized system are brought to something like a state of com pleteness, w e may presume that more remarkable advantages will b 3 secured to the public, than any that can hitherto have been anticipated. " Wonders A Cif, • 9 se)" appears t o b e i n t h ese d ays a more saying than that which denies the e , , 50 ' etr•, ! ft ovelty-_ eo „,:_ wg even, as the latter CAT,.; -,lfdiittrkiii qe, ips of the i 4 ( , 7 i O 4':::;e;4‘;,-,;feety-ee;i 'comparable ciideetoN4 ... --:. ; tsl fl 8 THE SIIN, 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 single beat or deflection of the telegraph needle is visible at London, Toabridge, 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 copper wire, it is but reasonable for a matter-of-fact race like the English to supply the " sinews of wt . ." requisite in the first instance for the purpse of extmding more and more widely the benefits inevitably acct &lig to scciety 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 whi c h b e f o re 185 3 has elapsed will doubtless be newly doubled, and se 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 subsequent arrangements forthwith to lay it down from Dover to the vicinity of Ostend, at Middlekirk, when the submarine lines will be brought ;Tito direct communication with the general system of the continental telegraphs. Thereuponthe " 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, of course, 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 it; development. Nothing satisfactory, at the same time, can possibly b ) 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 cssociation 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 derstend 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 wain 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 hen delighted at such a proof that the days have passed away in which Mahratta nobles would 'nave taken to saddle and lanco 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 pat.iotic objects. We trust the members of the Poonala Associfltion, end of the like bodies in Calcutta and Mdras, will not raffsr themselves to be thus discouraged. If there be disincliaath.s. i n any qu - t ter to rid them in seek ing improvement or refire:is, it does not lie with the public of this country ; and nothing would render a greater service to both countries th , n so full and frank en exposition of the condition and wants of British India as its native nobility end gentry are best qujfied to lay before the Crown, the Parlia ment, and, above all, the people of England. Parliament sat upon the East India Compa n y i n 1834, and though much information ViEs 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, such a thi ng as an Indian gentleman visiting this country, m i x i ng on friendly and equal terms with our nobility and 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 at 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 DwAsKANAnTa visiting E ng l an d for the b ene fi t of his health, e T b AxE, who appeared simply ag an Indi an mer 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 India but England wo u 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 JEMEETJEE JEEJEBBOY may long continue to wear the honour conferred on him by our QUEEN. Another distinguished native, honoured and worthy of honour, is J E Y - A3JEE I'ESTONJEF, whose enterprise and Jibe , rality are well known at home and abroad. Calcutta, .. Madres, and Bombay, respectively the c apitals of the three Indian Presidencies, ar e now so suffi c i ently European, in English tone, feeling, and edu cat i on —we mean as regards their Hindo o public residents—th at the • that from them greatp in h f c o r n c l a u n t n i n o i t 2 m a v a o y i d be c o o n b c t l a u i d n i e n d g .

It is the Government people at unwise end impolitic in . Bombay to discourage attemp ts on the part of the • higher natives t o bring their views before the England. The Sirda re Parliame n t an d th e peop l e of Dec can Associ a ti on , f oun d e d by Mahratta ies - (equivalent t o our own l an d e d pro prietors), inciut well • a numerous body o f wea l t h y, i n t e ll ig e nt , and educated native gen tl emen t h oroug hly acquamted with all the bearings of the East India question, and deteimined to be heard upon it. They want neither class-privileges nor class-legislation, but they are resolved that the East India Chvrter shall not be renewed by the British Parliament without com petent native testimony on all points being of fered to the L eg i slature. The natives of India have grievances and wants, the pressure of which they, natu rally, are best acquainted liwith. C u . i 3 that anon h g , at the head of Indi an gr i evances • t winch is the theme of agitation in Ireland + The this moment. - a. great Mahrattan want at hour is greater Salt this the 1_ yof land tenures. Without this, native gent TY of India will gradually be an nihilated. Anothe r • point, and a galling one, is the practice of excluding natives, however well qualified, from participating in the -rest offices of ti 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 serv i ce o f th e i r native land ? If fit for bth office, why exclude them ? W e 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 should be allowed a free and friendly ex pression tban a host:de one. ie,foßeally Mr. WEBSTER appears to be rather anxious just o caaol to s seize r t ahlel kinds aolf commodities d i n p a a r l al i l cu i kinds emolument of th e c iti zens o f the United Stats. He insists, first of all, upon the right of the American fiThmongers to be supplied with en 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! 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 Lbbos 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 es 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. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris j ourn als of yesterday. A decree in th e Moniteur fixes the 20th of Septem ber as the day on which the Councils of Arrondisse ment ew a p r h e iacyh t s o iss m ayn e s e o: t t_ f t o; e t x b c e ee s d eco fi n v d e d p a a y r s t . of their ses sion, yest er d a y the concession The oi. ottePßubolridcelrk Bordeaux xte s 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. Th e b ranc h li ne to Perpign a n is to join the Barcelona railway at a point on the frontier of the Pyrenees-Orientates. A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic con vokes the electoral colleges of the 3d 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 CUANGARNIER, but not those of Generals DE LAMORICIERE and LEFLO. The pension assigned to the two former is 6,0001. each. In the column of the table relating to " the present position of the pen , ons 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 siers, one of dragoons, and one of th e line. In passing the PRINCE, which the cavalry did in oven column of squadrons, and at a walk, the acclamations of " Vice l'Empereur !" burst forth with an enthusiasm end an unenimity which have probably never been e foe q . hr u e : n l : l eed, were ef ceoexprcit exceedingly e inl i do ni y n;gl notyno numerous, o excelled. the r c. were ie was T le hre necessarilyspectator, n at too great a distance to take much pert in this acclaim, round bu tat th t e he pn te t r N m c i E n , at a i n o d n hofaitled the him with the they same clos edin im perial title.

The Debats says,—"W e are informed that M. DROITYN DE Lnuis yesterday signed with the Bel gian Plenipotentiaries a convention for the protec tion of literary property. This is a measure the im pc7tance 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; 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—VEJus, who was condemned to transportation, is to be im prisoned fur ten years ; and a man named RI CHARD, who was sentenced to ten years' imprison ment, of which he had seven to remain in prison, is to be set at liberty in four years. The Pr esse, 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 i n fl ux o f strangers fOr the fae 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 journe 1, 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 band is considerable. TheYRINCE 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 re spe ct. apJ vvital greitiest respect. After the review a reception took place of the authorities of the town end of the department. The grand waterworks played, and added to the animation of the scene. A display of fireworks was given at dusk, and the PRE.. BIDE= returned to St. Cloud at nine o'clock. We read in the Pre sse :—"The Government is at 3 s t s i o years, present getting dr awn u p th e d ra ft o f a d ecree rela tive t o t h e construction of a crystal palace in the large square of the Champs Elysees.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 16th have been received. They state that the Spanish Government has decided on reinforcing the squ a d ron 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 Rosati, and the crews are daily exercised in firing and other manoeuvres. The Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived. Oa the occasion of th e fil e o f N APOLEON on th e 15th, a service was c e l e b rate d a t th e F renc h Ch urc h o f St. Louis; and in the evening the French Ambas sador, General AUPICR, 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 wi ngs , w ith t r i co l or fl ags , th e 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. MENDOZA for the construction of a rail way from Cadiz to Jerez, and from thence to Seville.

MADRID BoLse, AUG. 18.—Three per Cents. were done at 45-a ; the New Three per Cents. at 23; the Debt of the first class at 111; and that of the second at 54. The Voss GERMANY. Gazette, under the head of Vienna, the 19 th 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 that it would continue to use every effort for the maintenance of European p-ace, 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, th e A mbassador 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 h believed that Count CAVOUR will re turn to power, together with M. RATAZZT, who is now in P ar i s . C ount PONZA. DI S. MARTINO is spoken of for the interior, Chev. VILLAMABINA for Foreign Affairs, end the Marquis D'AZEGLIO, it is believed, will remain in the Cabinet without a special portfolio. The Official Savoy Gazette of the 20th announces the errest of en 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 WB3 crowded ; GUERRAZZI, ROMANELII, 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 skirted by GUERRAZZI on the incom r3tency of the Court. The number of witnesses amounts to 370 ; meny of those called for the defence baying been rejectid. The Court is presided over by Councillor NERVINI, and Adve3ate-General Blc- CHIERAI Conducts the prosecution. Professor MON-. TANELLI'S book cn the mstters which form the subject of this trial, has cauaed great sensation at Florence. It must be recollected thrt the author is implicated in the case as a defaulter. The prisoners are eleven in numter, viz., Guer razzi, Romanelli, Demi, Lotttini, Cimbe'li, Piccini, Petracebi, Agostini, Pantmelli, Montazio, Car. - echi. When GUERBAZZI was asked Fs name and profes sion, he answered ; " Advocate, late Minister of the GRAND DUKE, late deputy, lata member of the Pro visional Government, and late chief of the Executive power in Tuseany."__ Before the proceed;ngs commenced, the follow;ng protest, which had been sent in by GUEBRAZZI, Wt read in court : ...Having hen illegally rtt:est:3, end treasonably kept in prison, and being now trken from prison in order to appear before the tribunal of the &lel Court, I declare that I . yield to compulsion, El I do not recog niso in the said court any right of judging me; ell the l a ws which regulatethe comp e t ence o f tr ib una l s , an d b" the order of trials having been completely infringed.

The news from the Turkish capital is of great im portance. The Grand Vizier, -" ..EDSCHID PACHA, has resigned. T h e SULTAN'S brother-in-law, ACHMET FETHI PACHA, the Pacha of Tophana (Director ' General of Artillery), has been dismissed. ALI PACHA has been appointed REDSCHID'S successor. FUAD EFFENDI, who was in Egypt a short time since, has received the vacant portfolio. The Pacha of TOPHANA has been replaced 111, by d -.EDSCHID MAHOMED PACHA, who was before Com mander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard. All these ups and downs took place on the 6th, in the evening. On the plea of not being well and strong enough to bear the fatigue, ALL PACHA has only cement ed to accept the office of Grand Vizier for the mome n t. The 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 the differences between the French and Turkish Governments ~ Has the Ottoman Porte ended, by comprehending the peril it incurred by it s strange con d uct towards France? Iles France caused her voice to be heard in such a way as to command the legitimate satisfaction which she h a s a right to expect? The latest letters from the East cause us to hope this. Three affairs ar e in suspense, and exact a sol u ti on w hi c h h ereto f ore has not been given to them, in the spirit of equity, j ust i ce, and international treatiea—first, the great question of the holy places; next, the investi g ation r e l at i ve to the assassination of Father Basil, at Antiech; thirdly, th e reparations duo to the consul at Janina, for having been struck and insulted by Turkish soldier?. Other facts equally grave have added to these causes of complaint. A Fr e nchman, M' Davern?y, has been ill-t reated at Constantinople, an d the odious acts of violence perpe trated at Tripoli have carried the dissatisfaction to the obliged to judge for himself highest pitch.

It coin piens of 'the avowed protection which the Prate tact, over the assassins of Father Basil, end over all the employed functionaries, great or smell, who have Pll their efforts to stifle the investigation, and pa ralyse the efforts of M do Lesseps, consul ~' t Aleppo.' And it concludes by saying , with "r espect to the affair at Tripoli, ' this affair has been the drop of water which has made the cup eve' flow. The facts have appeared so grave to the French Government that it is said to have sent a peremptory order to M. de la Vslette to, demeud immediate satisfaction.' In this state of things a sudden change of Ministry has taken plee e . Raschid Pacha has been dismissed, and Ali Pacha, Mi nister of F ore i gn Af f a i rs , has replaced him e s G rand Vii:ier. Will the new Ministry be favourable to French interests? The Debate causes this to be expeoted:—' It is to be hoped that the new Ministers wilt understand that justice and the interests of Turkey, lightly under stood, exact the prompt settlement of difficulties which hare brought the situation to this degree of gravity? WO wish for our part to share these hopes, end we can. not; believe that they can 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 tak€n for export and on speculation. The market was firm, but closed quietly at previous rates, The sales comprised 4,000 American, 150 Bahia, at 6id. to 6,31; 800 Egyptian, at 61d. to 9d.; and 1,000 Surat, at 3/d. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were active at higher prices. The treaty of commerce between Belgium and the Zollverein, which expires on the 3lst 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 90,000/, The Honourable East India Company drew bills in the fortnight ending yesterday afternoon to the amount of 131,1171 19s. sd. the rates being 2s. on Bengal and Madras, and 2s. Oid. on B:mbay. The proceedings 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 out 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, repeatcl 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 oats 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 intere 3 t s o f their employers to be at stake, is better scoured. 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 businese. It is seldom we hear of a vessel being condemned in consequence of smuggling, but responsi bility must rest somewhere, end it is sometimes difficult to fix it upon the particular delinquents among a class of men 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, end we hope will be persevering in enforcing them. The 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 stats that the works btwcen Howrah and the Ranegenge Collieries cont;nue to progress satisfactorily. To complete and stock this division of the lino some additional capital will ba required. The existing contract with the for East India Company provides for raising such capital, rnd when the proper time arrive the option of sub vribing it will be given to the then proprietors of the old shares. " The surveys hetwem Pundoah and Rajmahal, alluded to in the last report, have been clrried to such an ex tent as to enable Mr. Tutnbull, the resident engineer, to report upon the general features of the line, which are highly favourable to the construction of a railway. Mr. Tuinoull's report is now before the authorities for con sideraton, and any arrangements that may be male, founded upon that report, vOll be announced to the pro prietors at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Tutnbull's report i s open for the inspeclon of the shareholders."
