This has been again cut down to the sum first granted, ample it might be imagined for an edifice, with the delusive name of university, for pupils who would not be deemed admissible in point of attainment to a third-rate English aca demy, and whom the idle show and preposterous ostentation paraded before them only fill with vanity and conceit. India must be educated like every other country through long, laborious, and patient exertion, and by beginning at the elemeufs. It is scarcely yet 30 years since anything deserv ing the name of education was known amongst us at all. The men of that generation have not yet anything like passed away, who have seen the day when the belief not yet extinct was universal, that native enlightenment must needs prove fatal to English supremacy, and was, therefore, to be dealt with as dangerous. At present we are acting as if 30 years would accomplish in the East that for which three centuries were required in Europe, the converse of the proposition being upon the truth ; and are in troducing a system only practicable where a love of knowledge has become general. The result is inevit able —long before the century has expired the dis covery will be made that the labour and money now being expended have been something worse than thrown away ; that the first thing to be done is to end eavour to undo all we have already at tempted, demolish the preposterous structures now being reared, clear away the r u bbi s h dig fitting foundations, and commenc e buildin g anew.

The past fortnight at B om b ay has been occupied by the discussion of our p rospect i ve municipal a rrangements ; and the everlasting question of th e Vehar water scheme. With about 60,000/. a year of mun icipal funds to be realised and disposed of, it is foun d impossible to get the ratepayers to pay the slightest heed to the management of their own af fairs, and the whole system as now prevailin g • s one jobbery, l mismanagement, management, and corruption, The only remedy within reach seems to be t o get government to take municipal matters out o f t h e hands of the municipality, and constitute that into a paste department which there seems little se Prospect o f h av i n g otherwise managed. tryThei_Vehar uestion we notio3d in our last.

The Governor-Gener a l i s a t C a l cutta, and Lord Harris at Madras. Lord El p hi nstone is about toto the Deccan, where, however, proceed he w i ll only make a sh ort sojourn, his object being to con_ suit with the commander-in-chief on th e proposed p ersua expe dition, We stated some time ago, on Esa Khan, the Herat general, has again written to Dost Mahomed, telling him that his position is becom ing more critical every day, by the arrival of Persian re inforcements, and that he hears also that a large party of Oozbegs, Toorkmans, and Jumshaidee, which was on its way to aid the Heratees, had been attacked by the Persians, and, after much slaughter, entirely routed, many prisoners having been taken. The Heratee general urges upon the Ameer the neces sity of the latter moving in person to his succour ; but that if unable to do this, it would be of the greatest itn. portance to the Iterate° that be should send a division of his army as far as Frah, stating that some 30,000 Per sians are encamped between Mushid and Ghoryan. The Ameer is stated to be comforted by assurances from the British authoritits, to the effect that he may shortly expect such replies to his communications as will cheer and inspirit him, and is in no hurry to join Esa Khan, in whom he does not apparently repose great Call fidence. In the meantime the Persians are trying to work on the fears and poverty of the Amster to induce him to return to Cabul, by sending the grandson of the Persian commander-in-chief to his highness to coun sel him that it would be wise, politic, and.honourabl e to all parties that he should retire upon his capital, Cabul, and be kind to his relations, the brothers and sons of the late chief of Candahar. The Ameer's blood rose at this insult, and his reply was to the effect that the government of Persia should mind its own affairs, and not pretend to interfere with him or with Herat, which, being an Affghan city, belonged to the Affghans, over whom he was ruler. After this spirited reply he dismissed the envoy to return, as he camp, to Mushid. The Ameer cannot be accused of cowardice, as this was done in the face of the desertion (it is said by our corres pondent) of 6,000 Affghans, who have gone over to Herat, and who have been received with open arms and handsome rewards by the Shazadah Ynsouf. Sirdar Gholam Khan, some short time ago, despatched a messenger (a spy) to Herat to collect authentic intel ligence, who, having returned, reports that the Persian besieging force amounts to about 12,000 men of all arms ; but that both the besiegers and the besieged lie upon their arms, and do not show the least inclination to bring matters to an issue by assault or sallying out. The Shazadah Yusouf has received Mahomed Alum Rhan, son of the ex-chief Candahar, with great pomp and honour, and has allowed him to pitch his tent at some distance from the Persian army. A. letter superscribed to the Shazadah has been brought to the Ameer. It contained an unlimited eulogium on the Prince Ynsouf for his sagacity and courage in get ting hold of Herat, and thus making the name and family an e mg n renown ° n o of A Ameerhff g e h deadafneir brilliant, h a i n s ce d s i t s o l r o s ya r ty ore towards t tn e dßaobyuasl accursed Persians:tan WE4ni and for allying himself with the friendship with the would .enrich Professing outwardly great to try and attach English. ft advised the prince a ra g e a n in t' st w t h h o e Kaj s binillalef him, and protect Herat matter as a joke, and sent ilrelrthe letter to the Persian -A- -t ra o ee h r e tr ß ea r t i e t d ish the Go the t canes Persianm e comma'thinking the letter commander-in -chief near and pehaps diseene w an der - in -chief and the s mighton betweenl)asibly Shazadah.

O thers, that under various pretences he is allowing his chiefs to ally tbetu selves to the Persian army, to prove to the English Go. vernment how helpless he is to prevent this desertion. But his conduct in reply to the advice tendered him would prove quite the contrary ; and the Arneer is a great deal too cunning, if not too wise, to give up of his own accord oven the appearance of British protec tion for an uncertainty, until entirely deserted by his allies. There is, however, no doubt that the Anieer is not popular at Candahar, in consequence of the disor derly state of his troops, who cannot be prevented from CHINA. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Singapore, with the English mail of the 10th of June, arrived at Hong Kong on the 25th of July. News from London 45 days old. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship Chusan, with telegraphic reports via Calcutta from London to the 26th of June, arrived on the sth August, three weeks from Bombay, followed the next day by the report bearer to Singapore, the Fiery Cross, 13 running days only from Calcutta. The Lightning, also from Calcutta via Penang, arrived on the morning of Aug. 9. The most re markable record of the month elapsed since the despatch of the previous mail had been the exceed ingly inclement weather. In Canton as much as 113 inches of rain fell in 57 days. The foreign factories ware flooded, communication in some cases being kept up by boats. Ruin to the provincial rice crops follows as a matter of course, and great is the distress anticipated from the conjunction of the high price of rice and anarchy. Touching the rebellion, the Overland Friend of China says :-- "As the rebellion approaches its crisis this subject is becoming more and more absorbing. News very un favourable to the imperialists has recently reached Shanghai. One report says three cities south-west of Soo chow have fallen. The latest intelligence of the rebels in the neighbourhood of Nanking is that they have been gaining upon the imperialists, and have taken the town Keu-yung and a district town in the vicinity of Nan king, also Leih-yang, which belongs to the department of Ching Kiang, and are now besieging the town of E-sing, in Chang-cho w-foo. The commander-in-chief of the imperialists, Heang-yung, has been compelled to withdraw his forces from the neighbourhood of Nanking. The cavalry under his command have disappeared, and his other troops are dispirited. The two parties have lately had two general battles, in both of which the in surgents were victors. In the first Governor Keih fell, and various other high officers were killed. In the last the chief commander of the day was wounded in the thigh, and his troops routed by the insurgents. The whole province of Kiang-Bi, joining Kivang-tung on the north-east, is now reported as entirely in possession of the insurgents. The Peking Gazette (May 22) gives an account of the loss of Ning-kwoh-foo, about 200 miles west of Shang hai :—" On the 7th inst. our local reporter informed us of the loss of Ung-chow, in Kwang-si, where the rebel lion first commenced, and is now going on with power. The officers in command were wounded, the fortifications and war junks all taken, excepting nine that made their escape. Agai n another despatch came on the 27th ult., saying that the market town of Wang-cheng was taken by the rebels, and one commander perished, The past month seems to have been an unfortunate period for the imperialists ; the reports of their losses, like Job's, fo'■ low each other in quick succession ' • but there is one °lnsolation, it is t o b e ho pe d that their loss is the country's gain." had been heard of Ad m i ra l S eymour si ace his Excellency iNs aa tn Nankin ai 11a left pguo aa ,r S db h su a li n ti pgw at h Hill g f or oo itgo Japan cKaonnt Kong n n ; shortly, ti o e Nl l t y h Bittern hge The Comus proceeded on, Admiral Stir- "The price of gold to sellers remains at 31. 16s. The entries for shipment at the Custom-house today con sisted of 5,739 ounces for Liverpool, 2,020 ounces for Calcutta, 1,292 ounces for Hong Kong, and 33 ounces for Sydney. The Customs bill of entry for the week ended shows an export of 12,466 ounces, of which the banks shipped 10,555 ounces. The Oriental Bank also shipped 5,0001. in specie to Ceylon. " The arrivals for the week ended last night have been very limited from the neighbouring colonies, but large from the Unit e d Ki ngdom. Including the Ocean Mon , arch six large vessels of over 8,000 tons burden have entered the bay. The foreign arrivals have been two from China via Adelaide, one from Manilla, and one from Boston, U.S. The departures for the week have been 26 vessels, many of small tonnage, and showing a balance in favour of upwards of 5,000 tons." The Age of the same date reports that the escorts from Mount Alexander and Ballarat had brought in to Melbourne, on the 27th, 29,109 ounces of gold, and 28,797 Leash. On June 27th arrived at Melbourne the ships Oscar I. and Goldfinder from London, and the James Baines from Liverpool, the latter having suffered in a squall. An agitation was afloat for the assimilation of the tariffs in the Australian colonies. Both at Melbourne and at Sydney the necessaries of life were exceedingly cheap, and agricultural produce was selling at prices which were not remunerative. At Sydney potatoes were unsaleable at 2s. per cwt. Mr. Fel lows, a sound and able lawyer in large practice, had accepted the office of Solicitor-General of Victoria. It is hoped that the Chinese, who wore very numerous in Victoria, might be induced to engage in making the railways. Both in Melbourne and Sydney associations had been formed against government grants to religious denominations. From South Australia we learn that the Legisla tive Council had been prorogued by the Governor, after having passed measures for initiating the new constitution. The Governor expressed his hope that the political power entrusted to the people and the universal suffrage conceded by the now consti tution would prove a safe and conservative mea sure. Negotiations were on foot for connecting Adelaide with Melbourne by electric telegraph. The following paragraphs from the Governor's speech will be interesting, not merely from the curious coincidences of probable cost, &c., of the projected railway to the River Murray, but for the distinct enunciation by the Governor of the great principle that, however convinced himself of the propriety of the scheme, he could not ask the Council to commit th9l:llsolTefi to it =Ail they were Freights continue much depressed, and cannot be quoted at more than 4s to 4s 6d per qr for beans to a direct port, and 4s 6d to 5s for orders ; cotton, 3-16 d to 4d per lb., free on board.

RUSSIAN STEAM COMPANIES. —Advicesfrom St. Peters. burg furnish the details of the recent subsidies granted by the Russian Government for the formation of steam companies in the slack Sea and elsewhere. They will amount annually to between 400,0001. and 5,000,0001., the line to Alexandria alone receiving 5r,000/., besides other privileges. The total capital to be employed is 2,000,0001., and the shares, which were all taken up im mediately, now command 10 premium. The vessels are all to bo built to carry guns "if necessary," and the movement is regarded by many as a clever mode of creating and maintaining a navy so as to evade the treaty of Paris. Some of the lines, it is observed are obviously such as could never have been formed for legitimate pur poses of trade, and the cry is that R u ssi a will now get effective ship s for political purposes at a cheaper rate than if they were avowedly in Government service.
