The Annuaire Militaire for 1856, which has just ap peared, presents some marked differences from that of last year, PS will be seen from the following analysis of its contents : " At the head of the hock, and immediately after the name of the Emperor, comes that of the Prince Imr rial, inscribed as enfant dc troupe of the Ist Regiment of Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard and Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour ; then comes thelistof Princeemar shale of the empire, ten in number, including Jerome. They are the Prince, Marshals Reille, Vaillnnt, Magnan, de Cistellabe, Baraguay d'Hilliers, Pelissier, Randon, Canrobert, and Bosquet. The Annuw:re men tions that in time of peace the number of marshals is fixed at six, and that when that number is exceeded only one nomination to three vacancies takes place. The number of generals of division may be carried up to 90, that of generals of brigade to 180, and the generals who are senators may be replaced nu merically. The Annuaire contains 92 generals of divi sion and four senators not classified. There are, therefore, two generals more than are on the caares, but there are nine senators among the generals instead of four, so that there are three places which may be if necessary filled up. The list of generals of brigade, in stead of being exceeded, only contains 167 names instead of 180. The staff corps, which was considerably increased during the late campaign, is almost fully complete as re gards the superior officers. It only wants three chefs d'escadron, but the number of captains is far below that indicated by the Annuaire as forming the full comple ment of the staff corps. There are at the present time only three great commands, or three armies, two on the footing of active service, and one on tha; of war :-1. The army of Paris, commanded by Mi.rshal Magner), comprised of four divisions of infantry, of two brigades each, and one of cavalry of three brigades. 2. The army of Lyons, under the orders of Marshal de Caste!- iane, having two divisions cf infantry andoone of cavalry, with their artillery. 3. The army of Africa, under the command of the Governor-General Marshal Bandon, formed of three elements—the French regiments, occu pying the garrisons and the camps in the three divisions of Algiers, Oran, and Constantine ; the native troops recently returned from she Crimea ; and the active di vision, under General Renault, which left Lyons some months ago to be employed in the camps at the foot of the J urjura. At Rome there is only one division of a single brigade, under General de Montreal. In the fifth territorial division there is an active division of cavalry of four regiments under the command of General de Goyen. The Annuaire still bears the army of the north under Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers, but which has been dissolved within the last few days. There are also the two divisions recently sent from Paris and Lyons to the Spanish frontier, but the late remarks in theMo niteur imply their speedy dissolution. There will only remain eight active divisions of infantry and cavalry. In these active divisions are not included the troops of the guard, forming two active divisions of infantry and one of cavalry in garrison in Paris and neighbourhood, and at Metz and Nancy." THE CZAR AND (BEN. MOURAVIEFF. A letter from St. Petersburg of the sth, in the Patrie, says :—" Some apprehension is felt here as to the army now operating in Asia under General Chruleff. It is well known that officer had advanced too near the Per sian frontier, and that his troops, being threatened in flank by the Kurds and the Circassians, were forced to beat a retreat across impracticable wastes. The re moval of General Mouravieff has been attributed to this imprudent movement, which was, however, it is said, made contrary to hi 3 advice. With respect to his resig nation interpretations vary. It is said by some that the superseding of Generac Mouravieff, and his replace ment as governor of the Caucasus, have been caused by a difference of opinion existing between him and the Emperor on the subject of the surrender of Kars. This list vend= ie the meet accredited," CHELTENHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The proceedings of the Cheltenham meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science have been virtually brought to a close this day, althoneh excursions are arranged for to-morrow to different loca lities of interest in the district. TILE PRESIDENF'S DINNER. The actual attendance at the above dinner was over 300. Professor Daubeny was in the chair. The health of the Queen and Prince Albert having been given from the chair, was followed by the Oast of the "Army and Navy," to which Col. Sir H. Rawlinson responded; The Earl of ELLENBOROUaII proposed the health of the president, and prosperity to the British Association. The PRESIDENT, after acknowledging the toast, pro posed the health of Dr. Dobson and Dr. Flumohreyes, coupling with them the name of the High Bailiff of Cheltenham. The High Bailiff (Mr. Russell), Rev. Mr. Dobson, and Rev. Dr. Humphreyes in turn responded to the toast. Professor SEDGWICK, in a humorous speech, proposed the health of the bishop and clergy of the diocese. Rev. F. CLOSE, incumbent of Cheltenham, replied. He said he had a letter from the lord bishop expressing his regret that he could not obey the call which had been male upon him to attend the meeting, on account of its happening at the time of his solemn consecration to his office. He apologised for the proportionately small num• ber of his brethren who attended the meeting, remarking that, if the association could give them some snug ca nonry or sweet deanery, they could have more time to devote to the researches of science ; but the working clergy were so much absorbed in their actual bread-and. cheese duties, that they were obliged to neglect such meetings. Sir R. MuncHisoer proposed the health of the foreign ers present, remarking that they ranked among their number Professor Hooper, M. Snossow (both fforn Russia, the latter having been specially sent out here by the Russian Government), Dr. Brennecke (the Prussian mathematician), Dr. Latham, Dr. Hornbeck, and Prof. Rogers, from America. Professor ROGERS, being called upon, said this was his fourth visit, and he trusted it was far from his last ; though two nations, he considered England and America essentially one:family. Mr. HEYWOOD proposed the health of the vice-presi dents, calling up Lord Ducie and Mr. Blair. Earl DIXIE said he felt it an important privilege to have been selected as one of the subsidiaries of the presi- dent, the more especially as the meeting had been held in a county to which he was connected by the ties of birth and residence. The party shortly afterwards broke up ; and, on the invitation of Dr. and Mrs. Humphreyes, of the Chelten. ham Grammar School, adjourned to that establishment, where a soirrl musicale was held. CONCLUDING MEETING. The concluding general meeting was held in the College, at three o'clock in the afternoon ; the President, Dr. Daubeny, in the chair. The attendance was not nume rous, but on the platform were Sir R. I. M urc hi son, R ev. F. dlose, Professor pbillips, Professor Ramsay, Profes sor Taylor, Rev. C. Burnby, Mr. J. Heywood, M.P., Mr. Atkinson, Mayor Elect of Dublin, &c. Professor PHILLIPS read the report of the general com mittee, which had been adopted that morning, and which recommended a number of grants of money, amounting in the whole to 6201. Among these were the following: 10/, for further investigation into the temperature of mines the depth of which has been considerably in creased ; 501. for further experiments as to earthquake waves; 151. for geological sections, to accompany a geo logical map • 251. for further res earc h es i n t o th e B r i t i s h 1 annelidm • 351. for sea dredgi ng on th e coast o f Scot land ; 101. each for information as to the imports of vegetable produce into Liverpool and Glasgow ; 10/. to Sir W. Jardine and Mr. Ashburn to assist them in con tinuieg their observations of the growth of salmon, par ticularly in the Scotch rivers ; 101. for specimens of the mollusca of California ; and 201. placed at the disposal cf Madame Ida Pfeiffer, to assist her in further investiga tions into the natural history of Madagascar. (Applause.) It was also proposed to grant 3501. to the committee to wards the maintenance and establishment of the Kew Observatory. Professor Phillips also reported the results of the present meeting as to allowance, and the pecu niary results. The total number of members present, including all classes of life members, annual associates, and ladies, was 1,109, and the total sum re ceived was 1,0881. for tickets, besides 22/. for books, making a total of 1,1101. received. At Ipswich, in 1851, the attendance had been 704, and the sum re• ceived 6201. At Belfast, attendance 1,108, amount re ceived 1,0851. At Hull, 877 members, and 9031. re ceived. At Liverpool, 1,877 members, and 1,8141 received ; and at Glasgow, last year, 2,132 members, and 2,2611. received. A lady in Cheltenham hal drawn up a sketch of the rise and progress of the association, and dedicated it to them. - It was proposed to grant 51, for the purchase of 100 copies. (Eiear.) Professor WALKER then read a report, containing further recommendations of the committee, not involv ing grants of money. These were chiefly directions to certain parties to continue their invest;gations in parti ticular branches of science. Sir B. MURCHISON then rose, and the business of the meeting being concluded, moved in complimentary terms votes of thanks to the directors of the Cheltenham College, and other institutions in the town for the ac commodation afforded .during the visit of the associa tion. Professor RAMSAY seconded the vote, which was car ried by acclamation, and acknowledged by the Rev. J. Close. Professor PHILLIPS then moved in complimentary language votes of thanks to the local officers, the three local secretaries, Messrs. Beamish and Weyball and Captain Robertson, the treasurers (Messrs. Wibott and Gardiner), the Secretary to the Finance Committee (Mr. Davies), Dr. Wright, Lord Ducie, Mr. Etheridge, curator, of Bristol; Mr. J. Jones, Gloucester ; 'Arr. Pearson, Mr. V. Pontigny, and other gentlemen who had rendered valuable assistance. Professor WALKER seconded the vote, and it was re plied to by CAptain Robertson, who dwelt on the ser vices rendered by Mr. Davies. The CHAIRMAN then delivered a closing aldress, tr.,king a rapid review of the operations of the several sectin%s, and concluded by declaring the meeting ad journed to Dublin. A grand flower show was afterwards held at the Old Wells. THE CONVICT MUR,DOCK. The following letters (says the TVest Sussex Ga:etic) pased baween one of the jury arid Sir George Grey in reference to the unhappy criminal 111u , :.:tock :--- "TO THE BIGHT HON. SIR GEORGE GREY, SECRETARY OF STATE. "Sir,—Permit me, as one of the jurymen in the late trial of Murdock for the murder of the Hastings gaoler, to implore yOu to talte the case into your most serious consideration ; and I humbly pray you will mercifully consider hi a fitting object for a reprieve. Although we returned a verdict of ` Guilty,' it was my impression that the extreme penalty of the law would never be forced ; and I hear with dismay and sorrow that the execution is appointed for Tuesday next. Oh, sir, who can doubt that the crime was committed during his effort to escape—who can for one instant imagine that the wretched prisoner was actuated by any malice against the gaoler ? Surely, sir, this is a case where the cle mency of the Crown may be permitted to step in and save a fellow -creature from a shameful death. As one of the jurymen I have given the case my most serious attention ; and I, at this late hour, humbly entreat you to spare the prisoner's life, and I enter my solemn and deliberate protest ag a i ns t th e execut i on. Trusting you will reconsider your decision, and praying to Almighty God to guide you to the side of mercy,—l have the hon our to be, sir, your most obedient servant, " W. DE AN , one o f t h e jury in the cane of the condemned prisoner Murdock." REPLY. " Whitehall, 7th August. " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey ta acknowledge the receipt of your letter cf the 2,1 inst. i reference to John Murdock, sentenced to death for mur der. In reply, lam to inform you that this case has been very fully and attentively considered by Sir George Grey, and that, while ho appreciates the motives which influenced you both in the verdict to which you were a party and in the desire which you have expressed that the sentence should not be executed, he regrets that be has not felt it consistent with his duty to recommend a commutation of the penalty. To have done so would have been to lay down the principle that the penalty cf murder should not be inflicted in a caie in which the de struction of life is not in itself the solo or even the principal object in contemplation ; but where the vio lence is resorted to without regard to the consequences as a means of accomplishing some other unlawful end, such as robbery, rape, or escape from prison. It would, in Sir G. Grey's opinion, be very hazardous to admit that, when personal injury dangeruui to life, and actually taking away life, as in this case, is inflicted in order to carry out a purpose in itself illegal and dan gerous, the absence of an intention to commit murder, as the primary object, is sufficient to exempt the critni ' nal from the penalty of the crime. Cases of this kind, moreover, cannot be considered apart from the bearing they must have on others of a similar nature ; and for these reasons Sir G. Grey has felt it to be his painful duty to allow the law to take its course.—l am, &e., " H. WADDINGTON. " Mr. W. Dean, 7, Charles-street, Marine Parade, Brighton." AN EMIGRANT VESSEL ON SHORE.—The Pecebe Dun bar, of London, last from Plymouth for this port, with emigrants, on entering this bay, on the 6th May, through the south passage, struck upon a rand bank, tore away her rad•ler, started her stern post, and sustained uthor serious damage ; but succeeded in getting into the bay, makitig water fast, and was subsequently beached a few miles west of Amity Point, where she now lies. No lives were lost.—North Brisbane (Moreton Bay), May 1140 We have received our despatches from India in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The dates arc; Calcutta, July 3 ; and Bombay, July 10. The following is from the Bombay Times, of June 10 : The rains, which at the date of our last despatch had been for three weeks in a great measure sus pended, resumed on the last day of the month, and from that to the present date we have had two feet of fail. Already we have had in all 40 inches, or two-thirds of what is due to the monsoon, and though we are once more in the middle of fair wea ther we have every reason to expect at least our ordinary supply. Rice planting is now proceeding rapidly, and the agriculturist goes on favourably with every division of his labour. The Bengal government have been_ taking pre cautions for protecting some sixty miles of country along the line of the railway in the neighbourhood of the Sontal Pergunnahs. The Sontals themselves seem all but starving, endeavouring to sustain life on roots until the ripening of the wet weather crops. They are generally believed to have hid their wea pons in the jungles, but at present it would be found impossible from want of provisions to subsist a hun dred men on any given spot, and the arrangements in contemplation are precautionary, and not the result of any serious apprehension. The news from Central Asia is as usual of such a confused and conflicting character that the only thing to be made of it is that the Affghans are fight ing amongst each other, as they always are, and that we need A giye ourselves no concern whatever about their rtingei els. The magnificent Persian armies around Herat are now set down at some where about a couple of thousand men, and the princes and chiefs are engaged in endeavouring to shoot, poison, or entrap each other—enterprises in which every honest man will wish them all success. The Cabal and Candahar brothers are quarrelling as diligently in 1856 as they were in 1836, when we entered on the sagacious task of seeking to reconcile their differences, the moral of the whole being that civilised countries, unless they wish to burn their fingers, should leave this land of IshMaelites alone. There has been some serious outbreaks in the Nizam's dominions, and so long as-his highness is suffered to retain in his service some 40,000 ruffi anly mercenaries, always in arrears, and ready to compensate themselves by robbery, nothing but disorder is to be looked for. The late disturbances in the northern districts of Madras have disappeared, and throughout the Bri tish dominions universal tranquillity prevails. We had occasion to notice in our last the munifi cence of Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy in having, since 1825, bestowed close upon half a million sterling on charity. It appears that within about the same pe riod a sum not greatly less than this in amount has been bequeathed by various rich Hindus for purposes of benevolence, nearly the whole of it having been estranged from its intended uses by reason of the informality of the deed of bequest, by the kindred of the bequeathers. A natural history society hasjust been established in Bombay, the chief characteristic of which is that the monthly meetings are to be accompanied by excursions, the members bringing with them for discussion and examination the fruits of their ram bles. The most distinguished naturalist amongst us, Dr. Frith, has accepted the office of honorary pre sident. The office of president is held by Dr. Don, inspector-general of hospitals, for 20 years one of the best known and popular members of the medi cal service. The Governor-General, who is still at Calcutta, has directed that on Sunday, the 21th of July, public thanksgiving shall be offered to Al mighty God throughout British India, for His great goodness in restoring to England and to all Eurole the inestimable blessings of peace. The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, Mr. Halli day, was to leave Calcutta on the 24 instant on a visit to some of the stations in the interior. Sir George Anson is about to proceed on a search ing inspection of the Bengal army, and will make Meerut his principal place of residence during his stay in the Upper Provinces, and thence march to the points to which he is more especially anxious to direct his attention. Lord Harris is at Madras, having opened the rail day officially to Arcot, a distance of 70 miles, on tho 18th of Juno. Lord Elphinstone is about to proceed almost immediately to the Deccan, where lie purposes so journing for the remainder of the monsoon. The Bombay Bink has just declared a dividend for the half-year ending the 30th of June of 50 ru pees per share, boii)g at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. Trade, as is usual at this season, is quiet, but the market for imports is firm. Money is easy; freights are dull and lower, and exchange is favourable for remitters. OPENING OF THE MADRAS RAILWAY. (Front the Madras Athenceum of July 1.) From 9 to 11 a.m., on Saturday morning, the Mount road presented the appearance of the road to Epsom on a Derby-day. Vehicles of every description—carriages, wigrams, buggies —were rattling along filled with ani mated countenances. the wind, too,.at that hour, blow ing fresh and cool, and the burning sun being kept off by the heads of the conveyances, we might, for a few moments, have pleased ourselves with the illusion that we were dashing along to the arena of the greatest race in the world. A few contretemps we understand iccurred by individuals forgetting their tickets, and we saw one buggy dashing back at a desperate rate on this account. The station at Royapoonam, a large, roomy, and con venient building, contained between 300 and 400 ladies and gentlemen, who had come to take part in the open ing ceremony, and for the purpose of making an excur sion on the railroad, as per invitation. On different sides of the station were the bands of the garrison, and the 12th N.I. Toe ladies looked their very best, ; the style of morning costume in fashi 'n at preeent infinitely surpassing, to our humble taste, the gaudy robes and gew-gaws of the ball-room. Ths event they had come to see was interesting, and it was evident that the spirit of it had infused animetion, not en!y into their fair countenances, but into the physi 'grimier; of the variegated throng of officers in full dress, civilian's in their most fashionable "cuts" and " ties," clergymen in their surplices, barristers, lawyers, merchants, magi strates, and editors. As soon as the opening ceremony, consisting of a prayer and benediction, was over, the word was given for starting ; and there was a vast flut ter of French bonnets and crinoline into the cornforable and convenient carriages. On starting we passed a large train of carriages, in which wore crowded a thou sena individuals of every age, of both sexes, and of an infinite variety of complexion. There was the stately Hindoo, sitting stiffly erect, and indignant at being brought into close contact with the grinning Pariah ; the haughty Mussulman, disputing for room with the animated and eager Eurasion ; whilst children were screaming, women fainting, and the greater part of the crowd cheering (not a hearty hurrah, fair that its not yet imported) with all their might and main, at us " grandees" ae we passed. These people were to start an hour af.er us, ou a shorter excursion than ours, which we sincerely trust they enjoyed. On both ides of the rail, as we scudded along, the crowd was enormous, extending back, and covering great _part of the plain, swarming on the ramparts.of the city, up every tree, and under every grove of palms ; and this fact goes a long way to upset the often-repeated assumption, " that the natives arc apathetic" and take no interest in the won-- ders of art, science, and civilisation. On, on, we go, with a country little diversified on each side, but realising to our view what we have so often heard called the burning plains of the Carnatic. Here and there, as we went along, might be seen fe w and far be tween patches of cultivation in which the bright green Irice—each field growing ont of its separete pool of water —was delightfully refreshing to the eye. Not one foot of cultivation did we see that was the work of pure unaiJed nature. All these little green oases had their sources in tanks, built ages ago to collect the precious element from a river or the clouds of heaven. But how barren a land I How meagre a population ! What boundless plains stretched their arid and desert bosoms before us ! What have we done, but patch up and rep a i r — an d even t h a t indifferently ? Where were to be seen any of our origi nal works? Indeed were there no other advantage at tending the railroad than the fact of showing us in fall and broed relief our shortcomings in India it would be a noble work. On, on we go. Those hills on the right are the Puli cat range. They give a pleasing relief to the landscape. Go near to them and you will find the scenery delight ful, and the cultivation of considerable extent. The waters from the river and mountain streams that dash down from them are caught in tanks—too many of which are still in indifferent repair —and turned off to the parched and thirsty • soil. At Christmas, when we were among those hills, the country was for many miles completely under water, roads and all. Th,rs is excellent shooting near the Pulicat hills. Hares abound ; nor is it impossible occasionally to .get a bear or a sarumbur. Tigers and wild hogs are also to be nut with there ; but the cover is large, the ravines are immense, and the necessary toil only to be undergone in the cold season. On, on—we approaohthe low rocky hills that characterise the scenery of Arcot. The country looks more than usually sterile, but as we approach the termi nus it appears absolutely sown with men. It might have been a delusion, but it struck us that the people looked better dressed and in better condition than those of whom the crowd was composed at the Madras station. On the hill that overlooked the terminus, tho motley assembly with their'turbans, red, green, and yellow, pre sented the appearance of an enormous flower bed. We Europeans live surrounded on all sides by the tokens and montage* of sallow, NA as her powers appear to us daily more and mere illimitable, we Jadtintly relin quish our astonishment at any new instance of her won derful effects. But, to comprehend the feelings of the people that we saw here assembled, we should picture to ourselves what would be the thoughts and asto nishment of an Englishman of the &eye of Elizabeth, if he were now suddenly recalled to life, and placed at the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway; if we told him that important news had just been conveyed from Liverpool In the space of a few mi nutes, and that the passengers he sees issuing from the carriages had started away from Birmingham some hours before. In the railroad the native sees suddenly brought before him one of the miracles of that science of mecha nice which has arrived at perfection under a slow ant' gradual process, that has been submitted to our, but not to hie, observation ; nor can we wonder if he tinc tures it in his mind with superstitionnand deems the en nine the abode of a god, since he regards it with the eyes of one who has risen from the sleep of centuries. What were the fables of the genii of the lamp and rine ; the apples which when eaten restored old age to youtleful ness; to invented facts that enable a man to live a, long life of travel in a few weeks, and interchange in the same p_iriod, with a friend in a di&int quarter of Cie globe, a whole age of verbal communicatiens ? The cannon booms, and Lord Harris and his staff alight ; a company of sepoys is drawn up to receive . them, the officers of which with their black shakos shin ing in the burning sun, stand to their duty most unflinch ing:y • a hot and thankless duty indeed ! But it is im possible to have any kind of ceremony performed in India without come slight infusion of " pipeclay and shoulder up." We pass through a tented way, into a sort of tented anteroom—the precincts of the lunch room being as yet kept sacred. Whilst the ladies are proceed ing to the tents prepared for them, and are giving their bonnets a fresh set, retouching their ringlets ; and getting rid of the dust and smoke acquired in their journey down, we gentlemen walk off to our tents to wash hands —an operation performed with a common earthen chatty and pocket-handkerchief. At last the doors are opened, and to the strains of the band we proceed to luncheon. There, a spacious and lofty tent, hung with garlands, encloses a triple row of tables covered with cloths, white as drifted snow, upon which reposes a collation that fresh air, a fatiguing ride, and the diges tive influences of excitement and good humour render us all disposed to dojustice to. The chatnpaign corks popped and flew, and the delicious beverage of an icy coldness soon restored us to e state of the highest satisfaction with ourselves and every one else. Then arose the agent manager and proposed the health of • her Majesty the Queen, which was drank with ail the honours. Lord HARRIS then rose and said—Ladies and gentlemen, we have now accomplished two of the objects which we bad in view on leaving Madras this morning ; first, that of reaching this place well and safely, and secondly in dis cussing with, so far as I can guess from what I have wit nessed, considerable satisfaction, the very handsome en tertainment which Major Jenkins has so hospitably pro vided for us. I feel sure that it would not be in accord ance with your feelings, if an opportunity were not af forded you of expressing your congratulations on this event, and your hearty good wishes for the success of the undertaking. I venture to give you this opportunity in the toast I now propose to you, which is, Prosperity and Success to the Madras Railway Company, and I cannot but look upon it as a propitious omen that it should so happen that this inaugural expedition should bring us to this spot so close to Arcot, where we may consider ourselves on classic ground. Here Clive first brought himself into prominence, and commenced that glorious career from which has resulted, perhaps more titan from any other direct cause, the predo minance of British power in this country. Let us hope that as great results, though of a different and of a more peaceful nature, may be effected by the undertaking we inaugurate here his day—results which it may be expected will tend na turally to increase the welfare of the people of India. It is not my intention to trouble you at any length, but I will mention a few facts respecting this railway which I think will be interesting to many present. The chief en gineer, Mr. Bruce, arrived in India with two assistant engineers in March, 1853. The first turf was turned by Sir H. T. Pettinger on June 9, 1853. The line was then commenced ; but the laq and heaviest district of the line which we passed over to-day was not com menced, from delay in the arrival of engineers, until March, 1854. Tau distance we travelled over in the train this morning is Gsi miles. I believe there are few instances, daily, of such a length of railway being com pleted in so short a period. The earthwork, moreover, has been heavy, being on the average 50,000 yards per mile. Again, as to the cost of the work. The average per mile, so far as it can be cal,:ulated, requiting a fair margin for corn; letion, is 5,5001. ; which is divided thus: —Permanent way including sleepers, 3,0001. ; earth worth and bridges, 1,5001. ; stations and a rolling Stock, 1,0001. ;—total, 5,509/, This calculation does not in chide the-coot of the chief station at Madras, the ex penses of which m us t o f course b e l a i d over the whole line. I believe the cost per mile will be found below that of roost works of the same description. I think, there fore, there are strong grounds for expressing satisfaction at the manner in which this work has been conducted, and I am desirous of giving full credit t , , the officers of the company for the efforts which they have male. I do not say that all has been dine which might have been expected, or that some things might not have been better done, but on the whole, and more especially when it is remem bered that the engineers were new to the country, that the labourers were unaccustomed, and that nearly all the iron has been imported from England, and at a time when the price of that article was exceedingly high, 1 think great credit is due to those who have had the ma nagement of the work. I ant glad to have the oppon tenity of making this statement, because I am aware it is supposed that the local goveinment has unnecessarily found fault, and has had a tendency to interfere with railway authorities, and thus impede their progress. I can assure those gentlemen that there is no ouch inten tion, but every desire on the part of Government to en ceurage them in their exertions and to facilitate their labours. But the Government cannot forget that it has duties to perform to the hon. court, to the proprietors of the rail way company, and to the public, and that it must do its best to secure that the work shall be well and ee.o nomically performed. We know that watchfulness and constant supervi,ion are required with regard to such undertakings. It is only nee - issary to read the Eugli,h vipers to ie-certein the fact that rail eay transactions have not been satisfactorily conducted in that country. We feel that we have a light, and that we nught to collect information front every part of the world where rail wept have been constructed, and to adopt such measures as may be ;nest likely to make this a suer-s-ful unAertak _ ing. Ladies and gentlemen, I will not deta.inyona-; longer, but hay,: great pleasure in proposing to you, with all the honours, "Prosperity and Success to Vie Madras Railway Company," and to it r will join the names of Major Jenkins, the agent, Mr. J. W. Bruce, the chief en g ineer, Mr. Wright, s u p er i n t en d en t o f rail way stock, Mr. Fletcher, traffic manager, and the other gentlemen connected with the company. This toast was enthusiastically received. Major JENKINS then said—l bag that you will per mit roe to acknowledge, in the name of the Madras Rai!- way Company, the honour you have done it in so . . (Nally drinking SUCCCI33 to this undertaking. Tho railway upon which we have this day travelled is one of a system of railways which has been established in this c')untry on the ree - nnmendation of the late Governor-General, Lord Dalhou4ie. The East India Company ap preciated and adopted the views of their able Governor- General, and at once entered into contracts with several companies for raising the necessary capital for tbe prose cution of these works, The contract entered into with the company is, that the sum of four mlilions of pounds ster ling be raised and applied in the construction of a rail way from Madras on the eastern to a point on the west ern coast. This line of railway proceeds hence along the north bank of the Pallar, passing Yeller°, it crosses the river at Amboor, thence along the southern bank to Vanieinbaddv. After passing that town the line takes a southerly direction to near Salem, skirting the high• lands of the Baratnahl ; it goes through the towns of Coimbatore and Palghaut, and descends_ to the seacoast at our terminal at Beypoor. The length of the line is about 450 n:iles, and nearly he whole of it is under con structina. If we look to the benefits which even up to the present time have been derived from the construction of this railway, they will be found to be considerable. We have given employment on an average to about 50,000 souls daily; their wages, amountin g to a large sum, have been spent in th e di s t r icts, and for the last few years, during a time of scarcity nearly approach ing to a famine, this assistance must have been felt as a great blessing by the poor. But on the line coming into operation for traffic the benefits that will be derived will he vast and varied ; new sources of industry will be de. veloped ; commerce will extend, and from the facilities that will be afforded for the conveyance of produce to the markets, land which has heretofore been of no value will be brought into cultivation. The political advantages I need not enter upon, great as they ma; be ; the social benefits will be greater ; the easy means of communica tion between points at a distance will induce men to tra vel, and to see what lies beyond the boundary of their native village ; information will be sought after, and knqwledge will spread ; the minds of the nat!ve popuia latian will become enlarged, and prejudice will be re moved ; and last, though not least, we may look fel. ward with a certain hope, that the rail way will prove itself.to he the best friend and the right hand of the missionary. It is therefore evident that the greatest benefitand blessing that can be conferred upon India is to spread the iron network over the length and breadth of the land ; but to accomplish this we must procure the nee. scary means, and they are only obtainable by securing the support of British capitalist. It is consequently apparent to all that upon the success of this undertaking much depends, and that the commercial success of the railway should therefore be such as to place beyond dispute that the ip vestment of capital in Indian railways is a safe and pro fitable transaction. Lord Harris has been pleased to ex press such high encomiums of the construction of the line that I would only beg to say that it has been a source of much regret to us that disappointment has been felt by the public at the delay in our opening. The fact is our chief engineer, Mr. Bruce, was led by his zeal and anxiety to complete the works as early as possible to name too early a date, which subsequent events prove to have been pre suatdre. To Lord Harris and the members of the Govern ment I beg to express my wpm:nest acknowledgments for Ithe great interest - they have always evinced to undertaking, and for kind supplrt thr:t I hav ' • variably received. I have also to th• - Pears, the consulting engineer, who pm all knew deep interest in this rai':way, for the courteous and frienk'h‘ manner in which he Iwts carried on business with u:7. Tr the ladies, who have this day graced the inauguration with their presence, I beg to binder many th -. ..nks, and venturo to hope that they will again favour us with their company on the next similar occasion, when we will take them through a more beautiful country, and we shall alio be • enabled to show them a fine engineering work, the bri;lge across the Puiney. I beg, my lord, ladies and get, tlem e ,, on behalf of the officers of this company and myself, tt thank you for the honour you. have done us in drinking prosperity to the undertaking, and in combining our names therewith. Major JENKINS next proposed the health of be which was drunk with three titncs three. Mr. MURRAY returned thanks. It was nearly half-past four whon tiffin was completele over—speeches and all ; and it cvas really deli-ghtful witness the spirit in which tho " French b•nrcets ana crinolines " fluttered back to the carriage. On our jeur• ney home we bad the delioious sea breeze in our ta,ces. Tae pleasure of the day was damned by a melanchoh, and, we fear, fatal accident. A firaman fell off the en gine,' and, it is said, so severely injured himself as to leave no hopes of his recovery. The accident delayed • the train, and we did nut arrive at Royapoororn until 8 p.m. On the whole we may express ourselvte highly sa tisfied with the arrangements. There might have been two or three little oversights, but railway people are only human, we suppose, like other people. The offi. cials were indefatigable in their exertions to promot e the comfort and c 3u venience of the travellers throughout the day. , The whole matter of the luncheon was admir able —wines, meats, and the furniture of tables arpi tents ; and our best wish to the party assembled on the occasion is, that they may never spend a less pleasa nt day than that upon which the Madras Railway wn: opened. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, JULY 9. The English mail of the 10th June was received at Bom bay, per Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ganges, on the sth inst. Our money market during the fortnight has become very much easier, and money can be had in the Bazaar under bank rates, which remain the same as quoted in our last. We have to report a rise in securities of every descrip tion. Import Market.—As usual at this season of the year trade is quiet, but the market for imports is firm. Piece Goods.—We subjoin as usual a list of the transac tions that have taken place since last report. Grey Shirtings 40 inches up to Silbs. are in very good demand ; 4 inch middling are also in good demand—the higher qualities aro in fair request, while the lower ones are dull. Grey Madapollams aro in very fair inquiry. Grey Jaconets are in moderate demand. Grey T Cloths of all descriptions are scarce, and are in very good demand. Grey long cloths of all descriptions are dull of sale. Grey domestics are in slight inquiry.

Respecting our produce market there is not much change to note since our last issue. The uiatket is still lightly supplied with produce, and as supplies have come in they have readily been engaged to forward the lading of some chartered vessels.

The bank rates continue as in our last, but a reduction is expected to take place this week.

Fieights.—The arrivals of seeking and chartered ships duffing the last fow days have been heavy, and, added to the excessive amount of tonnage already in the river , can not fail to exercise a d e pressing influence on the.rates of freight ; on the other hand, agents of regular traders are doing their best to give support to the 'market, and aro holding but for an advance. We understand that Ameri can ships are to be obtained in sufficient abundance at 8 dols. per ton, for freight to ports of tho Unitad States.

EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 6. The Calcutta mail of the 3d of Jtily arrived at Sues on the 4th of June inst., and proce•ods to Eu.;land this day by the Peninsular and Oriental Comvany'ssteatner Indus. Among the passengers by the Indus is the mother of the ex-King if Oude, who is on her way to London, with the objoct of obtaining from the British Government soma fur ther concessions for her son. She is accompanied by a younger son and a suite of 97 persons of all grades, whose passage-money alone from Calcutta to Southampton amounts to 8,0001. The Queen- Mother never shows herself in public. She has lived very quietly during her stay of a fortnight in Egypt, occupying a palace placed at her disposal by the Pasha, and l&en on board the steamer does not move from her cabin. In the mouth of MaYSaid P.isha conceded to some European in , 4.cbauts certain exclusive privi leges to establish a Bw:titan co:nriny on the Nilo and canal, with boats and steauLns under the Turkish flag. As the tendency of the privileges granted this company is to secure to them a mono poly of the carrying trade in Egypt, several at tempts have been. made to counteract it, and the question has been raised as to whether Europeans possess the right or not to navigate the Nilo in steamers under their own flags, and whether the Pasha, as a vassal of the Sultan, has the power to confer exclusive privileges for such a purpose on any company. _ _ Our Consul-General, in reply to an a?plication from a British subject to bring steamtugs to ply on the Nile, has given his opinion that steamers under foreign flags have not the right to navigate the Nile ; but some of the other Consuls declare that, ace , )rding to their interpretation of the treaties, the navigation of the Nile is perfectly free to all .Europeans, and the Prussian Consul-General, in particular, is determined to protect a Prussian subject who has already bought a small steamer and made one trip in her, under the protection of the Prussian flag, from Cairo to Alexandria, but has since been stipped by the express orders of the Pasha. The question is now to be brought before the proper authorities in Constantinople and in Europe, and the issue will be of great importance to this country. The great annual fair of Tantab, in the Delta, has just been brought to a close, and was attended by a prodigious number of persons from all parts of the East, and the great sales effected and the large amount of money which changed hands there tend to show that the natives are in a flourishing condi tion, and that they have confidence in the present Vi:2eroy's government. In speaking, lately of the Suez Canal scheme Said Pasha, expressed himself in such a manner as to show that hi s eagerness for the undertaking has undergone much abatement. Th e electric telegraph between Alexandria and Suez is now in full play, hut the works on the rail way between Suez and Cairo are not proceeding w ith the vigour that was promised. The Nile having risen considerably, the steam forry on the Rosetta branch in 'connt:.ction with the railway can uoir be used, and this has hitherto been the only break in the line between Alexandria and Cairo, which may now be considered complete. The Pasha contemplates the construction of a bridge to supersede the ferry, which would be a gread ad vantage. Largo supplies of produce are coming down from the interior for shipment ; but, as prices have been pushed up extravagantly high by speculators, holders prefer disposing of their stocks in the place, rather than to ship. Freights are therefore d u ll, quoted at ss. Grl. to Gs: per quarter. Exchange on Loudon, 1001 piastres per pound sterling. . • ". : 4 sAJ-
