The Annuaire Militaire for 1856, which has just ap peared, presents some marked differences from that of last year, as will be seen from the following analysis of its contents:— " At the head of the book, and immediately after the name of the Emperor, comes that of the Prince Impe rial, inscribed as enfant de troupe of the Ist Regiment of Grenaliers of the Imperial Guard and Grand C ross o f the Legion of H o no ur ; then comes the list of the mar shals of the empire, ten in number, includime P r i nce Jerome. They are the Prince, Marshals Retlle, Valliant, Magnan, de destellane, Bangle-1y d'Hill;ers, Pelissier, Randon, Canrobert, and Bosquet. The Annuaire men tions that in time of peace the number of marshals is fixed at six, and that wh en 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 nn tnerically. The Annuaire contains 92 generals of divi sion and four senators not classified. There are, therefore, two generals more than are on the eactres, in stead of there are nine senato rs among th e generals of four, so that th ere are th ree p l aces w hich may be if necessary filled up. Th e li s t o f genera l s o f 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 that of war The army of Paris, commanded by Marshal Magnan, 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 Castel lane, having twe divisions of infantry and one of cavalry, with their artillery. 3. The army of Africa, under the command of the Governor-General Marshal Randon, formed of three elements—the French regiments, occu pying the garrisons and the camps in the three divisions of Algiers, Oran, and Constantina ; the native troops recently returned from the 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 urj ura . At R ome t h ere i s 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 i twodivisions rece n tly sen t f rom P ar i s an d L yons to the Spanish fr on ti er , b ut t h e l ate remarks in the /1/o mica.!.imply their speedy dissolution. There will only remain eight active divisio ns o f i n f an t ry an d cava l ry. In these active divisions are not incl u d e d th e t roops o f t h e guard, forming two ac ti ve d i visions of infantry end one of cavalry in garrison in Paris and neighbourhood, and at Metz and Nancy." THE CZAR AND GEN. MOURAVIEFF. A letter from St. Petersburg of the sth, in the Patrie, says :—" Some appr e h ens i on 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 dank 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, h owever, it is said, made contrary to his advice. With respect to his resig nation interpretations vary. It is said by some that the superseding of General 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 iAst !nisei= iR the most accredited.% • ,„4.

The proceedings of the Cheltenham meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science have been virtually brought to a close this day, although excursions are arranged for to-morrow to different loca lities of interest in the' district. THE PRESIDENT'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 toast of the " Army and Navy," to which Col. Sir H. Rawlinson responded. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH 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. Humehreyes, 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 i tho health of the bishop and clergy of the diocese. Rev. F. CLosg, incumbent of Cheltenham, replied. Lie said he had a letter from the lord bishop expressing his regret that be could not obey the call which had been inaJe 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. MURCHISON proposed the health of the foreign ers present, remarking that they ranked among their number Professor Hooper, M. Snossow (both from Russia, the latter having been specially sent out hero 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 onelamily. Mr. HEYWOOD proposed the health of the vice-presi dents, calling up. Lord Ducie and Mr. Blair. Earl DIME 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 D r . an d M rs. H umphreyes, of the Chelten ham Grammar School, adjourned to that establishment, where a 80iree musicale was held. CONCLUDING MEETING. The concludinggeneral 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, Murchison, Rev. F. Close, Professor Phillips, 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: 101. 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; 25/. for further researches into the British annelidas ; 351. for sea dredging on the coast of Scot land ; 101. each for information as to the imports of vegetable produce into Liverpool and Glasgow ; 101. to Sir W. Jardine and Mr. Ashburn to assist them in con tinuing their observations of the growth of salmon, par icularly in the Scotch rivers ; 101. for specimens of the mollusca of California ; and 201. placed at the disposal of 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 1,0181. for tickets, besides 22/. for books, making a total of 1,110/. received. At Ipswich, in 1851, the attendance had been 704, and the snm re ceived 6201. At Belfast, attendance 1,108, amount re ceived 1,0851. At Hull, 877 .members, and 903/. re ceived. At Liverpool, 1,877 members, and 1,814/ received ; and at Glasgow, last year, 2,132 members, and 2,261/. 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. (fiea,r.) 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 investigations in parti ticular branches of science. Sir B. MURCHISON then rose, and the business of the meeting being concluied, 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. lose. Professor PHILLIPS then moved in complimentary language votes of thanks to the local officers, the three local secretaries, Messrs. Beamish and Weyhall 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 ; Mr. 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 Rqbertson, who dwelt on the ser• vices randered by Mr. Davies. The CHAIRMAN then delivered a closing address, taking a rapid review of the operations of the several sectious, and concluded by declaring the meeting ad journed to Dublin. A grand flower show was afterwards held at the Old Wells. THE CONVICT MURDOCK. The follovring letters (say; the TlTest Sussex Gazette) passed between one of the jury and Sir George Grey in reference to the unhappy criminal Murdock : TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR GEORGR GREY, SECRETARY OF STATE. "Sir,—Permit me, as one of the jurymen in the late trial of Murdock for the murder of the H.►stings gaoler, to implore you to take the case into your most serious cmisideration ; and I humbly pray you will mercifully consider him 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 en• forcz.d ; 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-creatore 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 against the execution. Trusting you will reconsider yeur 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. DEAN, one of the jury in the case of the condemned prisoner Murdock." THE OVERLAND IVIAIL. We have received our despatches from India in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The dates are: Calcutta, July 3 ; and Bombay, July 10. The following is from the Bombay Times, of June 10 : F 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 fall. 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 crotps. 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 aro 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 Affghaus are fight ing amongst each other, as they always are, and that we need give ourselves .iso concern whatever about their quarrels. 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 end eavour i ng t o shoot, poison, or entrap each other--enterprises in which every honest man will wish them all success. The Cabul 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 historysociety 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 20th 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 Furors the inestimable blessings of peace. The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, Mr. Halli day, was to leave Calcutta on the 2d 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 arm y, an d w ill ma k e 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 the 18th of June. Lord Elphinstone is about to proceed almost immediately to the Deccan, where he purposes so journing. for the remainder of the monsoon. The Bombay Bank has just declared a dividend for the haif-year ending the 30th of June of 50 ru pees por share, baing 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. (From the Madras Athenaunt 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 mosaents, 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 occurred 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 sdes of the station were the bands of the garrison, and the 12th N.I. The ladies looked their very best ; the style of morning costume in fashion at present infinitely surpassing, to our humble taste, the gaudy robes and gew-gaws of the ball-room. Ths6 event they had come to see was interesting, and it was evident that the spirit of it had infused animation, not only into their fair countenances, but into the physisgnomies of the variega• ed throng of officers in full dress, civilians in' heir 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 camfertable and convenient carriages. On starting we passed a large train of carriages, in w hi ch were crowded a thou sand individuals of every age, of bath sexes, and of an infinite variety of coinplexion. Tuere was the stately Hindoo, sitting stiffly erect, and indignant at being brought into close contact with the grinning Pallet) ; the haughty Mussulnian, 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, fe. that is not yet imported) with all their might and main, at us " grandees" as we passed. These people were to start an hour after us, on a shorter excursion than ours, which we sincerely trust they enjoyed. On Loth 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 lon g way to upset the often-repeated assu mpt i on, " t h at the natives are 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 alon, might be seen few and far be- tween patches of cultivation in which the bright green rice—each field growing out of its avant° pool of water —was delightfully refreshing to the eye, Not one foot of cultivation did we see tha► was the work of pure unaiied 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 ! How meagre a population ! What boundless plains tretcked their arid and desert bosoms before us ! What have we done, but patch up and repair —and even that indifferently ? Where were to be seen any of our origi nal works ? [ndeed were there no other advantage at tending the railroad than the fact of showing us in full and brood relief our shortcomings in India it would be a noble work. On, on we go. Those hills on the right are the Pull ple +sing relief to th e l an d scape. cat range. They give a 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 th a t dash down from them are ca ught in tanks —too many of which Ire still i n i n diff eren t 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, road s and all. There is excellent shooting near the Pulleat hills.- Hares abound ; nor is it impossible iceaslouttily to get a bear or a sarumbur. Tigers and wild hogs arc also to be met 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 approach the 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, the motley assembly with their turbans, red, green, and yellow, pre. sented the appearance of an enormous sower bed. We Europeans live surrounded on all aides by the tokens and monuments of science, and as her powers appear to us daily more and more illimitable, we gradually relin quish our astonishment at any now instance of her won derful effecte. Bat, 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 days of Elizabeth, if he were now suddenly recalled to life, and placed at the terminus of the Loudon and Rrminglmen Railway; if we told him that important news had just been conveyed from Liverpool in the space of a few mi nute!, 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 nics which has arrived at perfection wader a slow ato' gradual process, that has been submitted ta our, but not to hie, observation ; nor can we wonder if ho tinc tures it in his mind with superstition, and deems the en gine 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 ring ; the apples which when eaten restored old age to youthful ness • to invented facts that enable a man to live a long life Of travel in a few weeks, and interchange in the same period, with a friend in a distant quarter of the globe, a whole age of verbal communications ? The cannon booms, and Lord Harris and hi's 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 su n, stand to their duty most unflinch ingly ; a hot and thankless' duty indeed ! But it is im possible to have any kind of ceremony performed ip India without some 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 hand, —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 do justice to. The champaign corks popped and flew, and the delicious beverage of an icy coldness soon restored us to a state - of the highest satisfaction with ourselves and every one else. Then arose theagent manager and proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen, which was drank with all 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 Jenlains 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 y ou , w hi c h i s, 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, whew we may consider ourselves on classic ground. IlereTlive first brought himself into prominence, and commenced that glorious career from which has resulted, perhaps more tean from any other direct cause, the predo minance of British power in this country. Let us hops 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. Brace, arrived in India with two .assistant engineers in March, 1853. The first turf was turned by Sir H. T. Pottinger on June 9, 1853. The line was then commenced ; but the last 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. Tne distance we travelled over in the train this morning is 65i miles. I believe there are few instances, if any, of such a length of railway being corn• 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 calculated, requiring a fair margin for completion, is 5,500/. ; which is divided thus: —Permanent way including sleepers, 3,0001. ; earth worth and bridges, 1,500/. ; stations and a rolling stock, 1,0001. ;—total, 5,5001. This calculation does not in. chide the cost of the chief station at Madras, the ex penses of which must of course be laid over the whole line. I believe the cost per mile will be found below that of most 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 to the officers of the company for the efforts which they have made. 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, arid 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 am glad to have the oppor tenity of making this statement, because I am aware it is supposed that the local government 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 such inten tion, but every desire on the part of Government to en courage them in their exertions and to facilitate their labours. But the Government cannot forget that it bee duties to perform to the hon. court, to the proprietors of the railway company, and to the public, and that it must do its best to secure that the work shall be well and eco nomically performed. We know that watchfulness and constant supervision are required with regard to such undertakings. It is only necessary to read the English papers to ascertain the fact that rail way transactions have not been satisfactorily conducted in that country. We feel that we have a right, and that we ought to collect information from every part of the world where railways have been constructed, and to adopt such measures as may be most likely to make this a successful undertak ing. Ladies and gentlemen, I will not detain you any longer, but have great pleasure in proposing to you, with all the honours, " Prosperity and Success to the Madras Railway Company," and to it I will join the names of Major Jenkins, the agent, Mr. J. W. Bruc the chief engineer, Mr. Wright, superintendent of rail way stock, Air. Fletcher, traffic manager, and the other gentlemen connected with the company. This toast was enthusiastically received. Major JENKINS then said—l beg that you will per mit ine to acknowledge, in the name of the Madras Rail way Company, the honour you have donelt in so cor dially drinking success to this andertaking. The railway upon which we have this day travelled is one of a system of railways which has been established in this country on the recommendatien of the late Governor-General, Lord Dalhousie. The East India Cempeny 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 the prose cution of these works. The contract entered into with the company is, that the sum of four mlilions of pounds ster hog be raised and applied in the construction of a rail way from Madras on the eastern to a pint on the west ern coast. This line of railway proceeds hence along the north bank of the Pallar, passing Vellcre, it crosses the river at Ainboor, thence along the southern bank to Vaniembaddy. After passing that town the ling takes a southerly direction t o near Salem, skirting the high• lands of the Baramahl ; it goes through the towns of Coienbatore and Palghaut, and descends to the seacoast at our terminal at Beypoor. The length of the line is about 450 miles, and nearly the whole of it is under con struction. 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 he considerable. We have given employment on an average to about 50,000 souls daily ; th e i r wages , amoun ting to a , large sum, have been sp en t i n th e di s t r i c t., and for the' last few years, durin g a ti me o f scarc i ty near ly approach ing to a famine, this assistance must have been tett as a great blessing by the poo r . B u t en th e line coming into operation for traffic th e b ene fi ts th a t w ill be derived will _ e be vast and varied ; ne w sources o f i n dustry will be . d . • thatve l o w pe ; ill beaff comme rceorded will l h e e x c te o n n d v ' ey a a 'i n d ce l r O l f n go h d e uc fa e ci to llt t i l e m markets, land which has h ere t o f ore been of no value will s be brought into cultivation. The political advantages I need not enter unon, great as they may be ; the social benefits will be greater ; th e eas y means ofcommunica 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 lie sought after, and knowledge will spread ; the minds of the native popula lation will become enlarged, and prejudice will be .k for.vard re moved and last, though not least, we may molt a certain h o p e , th a t th e ra ilway will prove itself to he the hest friend and the right hand of the missionary. It is therefore evident that the greatest benefitandbl, , s , in; that can be conferred upon India is to spread the iron network over the length and breadth of the land ; hot to accomplish this we must procure the nrcsseary toe ens, by securing the suppers of and they ate only obtainable British capitalists. It is cansequently apparent to all e n s d s e r o t a f k the h n e g r r a n i n ! w e y d e e p h e o n u d t and hat thethat t n th thecommercial t h e i u s c t e i therefore- be such as to place beyond dispute that the in vestment of capital in Indian railways is a safe and pro fitable transaction. Lord Harris has been pleased to ex pressta tI such would 1i onlyigh encomiums e tosy h say that it hag constructionbeena u oef sours line hof 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 arid anxiety to complete the works as early as possible to name too early a date, which subsequent events prove to have been pre mature. To Lord Harris and the members of the Govern ment I beg to express my warmest acknowledgments for REPLY. '0" Whitehall, 7th August. acknowledge Sir,—l am the rece direct t of directed by Secretary Sir Georg e G re y t ) ip your lett of tha inst. in reference to John Murdock, sentenced to death 2d 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 he 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 he 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 case in which the de struction of life is not in itself the sole 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 dangerous t o lif e , an d aadetttlltyhatat'kiwnhgeanwpaeyrsloifnea,lasinijawYthis case, is inflicted in order to carry out a purpose in itself illegal and dam gerous, the absence of an intention to commit murder, as the primary object, is sufficient to exempt the crimi 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 ; amid fix these reasons Sir G. Grey has felt it to be his painful duty to allow the law to take its course.—l am, &e., " WADDINGTON. Mr. W. Dean, 7, Charles-street, Marine Parade, Brighton."

EGYPT. • ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 6. The Caleutta mail of the 3d of July arrived at Suez on the 4th of June inst., and proceeds to England this day by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Indus. Among the passengers by the ludus is the mother of the ex-King cf Oude, who is on her way to London, with the object of obtaining from the British Government some 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 Alen on board the steamer does not move from her cabin. In the month of May Said Pasha conceded to some European merchants certain exclusive privi leges to establish a steamtug company on the Nile and canal, with boats and steamers 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 Nile 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 COnsuiGeneral, in reply to an a7plication from a British subject to bring steamtugs to ply on i he Nile, has given his opinion that steamers under foreign flags have not the right to navigate the Nile ; but somo of the other Consuls declare that, according 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 flaff, from Cairo to Alexandria, but has since been stopped 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 ther e t en d to show that the natives are in a flourishing condi tion, and that they have confidence in the present Viceroy's government. speakinglu the Suez C ana l scheme Said pasha expressed b lately o himself in such a manner as to s h ow that his eagerness for the undertaking has undergone The electric m u c telegraphh abatem abatement. Alexandria and. Suez is now in full play, but the works on the rail way between Suez and Cairo are not proceeding with the vigour that was promised. The Nile having risen cons id era bl y, , t h e steam ferry on the Itaciet% branch in connection with the railway can now be used, and this has hitherto been the only break in the line between Alexandria and Cairo, which may n ow b e cons id ere d com plete. The Pasha contemplates the construction of a bridge to supersede the ferry, which would be a greed ad vantage. Large 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. Gd. to Cs. per quarter. Exchange Qll Loiicloti, 1001 piastres per pound sterling.

I beg, my lord, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of 016 officers of this company and myself, to thank you fir the honour yon have done us in drinking prosperity to the undertaking, and in combining our names therewith. Major JENKINS next proposed the health of the ladier, which was drunk with three times three. Mr. MURRAY returned thanks. It was nearly half-past four when tiffin was completely over—speeches and all.; and it was really delightful to witness the spirit in which the "French bonnets And crinolines " fluttered back to the carriage. On our jour ney home we had the delicious sea, breeze in our faces The pleasure of the day was damped by a melancholy, and, we fear, fatal accident. A fireman fell toff the en gine, and, it is said, so severely injured hitpself as b, leave no hopes of his recovery. The accident delayed the train, and we did not arrive at Royapooriate until 8 pm). On the whole we may express ourselves highly ca.- tisffed" with the arrangements.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, JULT 9. The English mail of the 10th June was received at Bom bay, per Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ganges, on the sth inio. 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 translc tions that have taken place since last report. Grey Shirtier, 40 inches up to Blbs. are in very good demand ; 45 inch middling are also in good demand—the higher qualities are in fair request, while the lo4er ones are dull. Grey Madapollams are 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. Blacked shirtings of middling quality are in fair inquiry, while the higher are dull and difficult of sale. Bleached Jaconets —The higher qualities are in no in quiry, while low and middling are slightly sought after. Bleached Twills—The lower and higher qualities are dull, but for middling there is a fair inquiry, as there likewise for the same description of madapollams, the higher qualities being dull of sale. T. R. cambrics and mulls are in inquiry, but twills are dull. Fancy Goods—For the lower qualities of nearly all de rcriptions there is a fair inquiry. The higher quality of bleached mulls, book muslin, and dyed mulls are dull. Bleached satin spots and stripes are in fair inquiry. Cotton Yarn.—No sales have taken place since last re port, owing to the firmness evinced generally by holders, while dealers are not inclined to give higher prices. Metals —English bar iron hoops and sheets, nail rod, square and round, are dull, and have declined. Woollens and flannels.of all descriptions are as usual at this season of the year dull, and no sales have been effected. EIPORTS.—Cotton Wool.—The transactions of the fort night are on rather a more limited scale, the upward course of prices and the character of the article having materially changed for the worse as regards colour and general ap pearance, have tended to check the activity noticed as pre vailing at our last, and the business reported is only 7,000 bales or thereabouts, on European account. Sheep's Wool, since the arrival of the mail, has been in demand, and both Marwar and Meckran have advanced. Oilseeds.—Linseed is in demand at Rs. 4, and so is rape, for which we quote for Sincle Rs. 3i to St, and for Guzerat Rs. 4. Stocks are moderate. Niger is in de mand, but there is no change in prices.

Freights have declined, and we only now quote to Lou don and Liverpool, 21. 10s. to 2/. 155., and to China Its. 7 per candy. _ Exchange.—The rate for this mail opened with sales of local credits at 2s. lid., and on arrival of China mail bills from thence sold at same figure. Afterwards bills became dearer, but the rate has since rallied, and we now quote 28. 1 5-16 d. to 2s. lgd. for local credits and documents, and 2s. 10, for bank nominal. China, 60 days' sight, Rs. 224; Calcutta, 60 days' sight, Rs. 90i ; Madras, 30 days' sight, Its. 99k. CALCUTTA, JULY 3. Respecting our produce market there is not much change to note since our last issue. The market 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 late advises on the state of the home markets have in some instances tended to check operations. _ Money market continues easy, and accommodations are obtainable on very easy terms. The bank rates continue as in our last, but a reduction is expected to take place this week. Exchange.—There has been very little doing since the departure of the last mail, and the following are the cur rent rates :—First Class credits at six months sight, 2.1.0 to 2.14.0; document bills, 2.14.0 ; bank bills, 2.0,x.0 to 2.1.0 ; Bank of England post bills, 1.114.0 to 2.0.0; on Mauritius, 54 cents ; on China, its. 220 to 223 per hun dred dollars by accounts from China to Juno 14, Ex change at Canton on London, 4s. 11d. to lOid. ; at Shang hai, on London, 7s. 2d. to 4d.

Bullion, &c.—Sales of 1,000 sovereigns are reported at Its 10.0.3 each. EXPORTS.—lndigo. —The recent accounts from Lower Bengal, Jessore, Kishnaghur, and Tirhoot, are very unfa vourable ; continual heavy rains and serious injury to plant; and it is apprehended the result of the season will be below an average crop. Exports of the season to 30th June include, to Great Britain, 75,430 fy. mds. ltaw Silk.--Operations since the departure of the list steamer have been rather limited. European natures of fine quality and size are still in demand at steady prices. Exports from Ist to 30th June, to Great Brivain, 2,732 mds. ; Frame, 176; Bombay, 7. Silk Piece Goods.—Fide Curahs aro selling at fully for mer pities, and in a few instances at a slight improvement. Middling qualities being much dressed are neglected ; shippers showing no disposition to purchase during the rains, havoceased operations, awaiting further advices from home. sCotton.—The new crop is coming to the market, and purchases are being made at fully former prices, viz., Jaloon bales 850 at 8,3. 9-14 to 10.1 per bazaar maund. 13oom urghur laminas, 150 at Rs. 10, and Furrackabad inaunds 100 at 114. 9-10 per bazaar maund. Active shipments are going on, and the following are reported from :pith Juno : —To Great Britain, 9,353 Inds.; to China, •12,191 Inds ; to Antwerp, 729 Inds. In saltpetre the transactions for the home market have been limited. Rice.—Good table rice continues scarce in the markot. Purchases of middling to lower qualities are being made for the home markets at fully former prices. Linseed and mustard-seed continue to engage inquiry ; the former principally for America, and the latter for Great Britain. The reported transactions show an ad vance of about S anuas per untund on the price quoted iu our last. Jute and hemp, of fair qualities, continues scarce. IMPORTS. Mule Twist.—since the departure of the last steamer sales have been effected to a moderate extent, buyers show ing no disposition to purchase unless at lower prices —sup plies in their hands and iu the upper provinces being large, and holders being unwilling to submit to auy reduction. Prices have slightly fallen, and may be quoted 1 to 2 pie per morah. _ _ Coloured Yarns.—Sales have continued to be made, but at a shade of reduction in prices. Chintzes of all descriptions have been in fair inquiry, consequent on the approaching season, and prices have further improved. Coloured Cottons have continued to be sold, but to a moderate extent, at about former prieee. Shirt ings.—Grey 40 inches continue to sell freely ; 55 to 60 reeds have declined in price about 2 to 3 annas per piece ; heavier mikes remain at fully former prices.

The low figur: at which th ese goo d s are 'held induced purchssesa,v,o specul a ti on , and t h e following sales are reporte d t o b taken place. - •• Woollens are without inquiry at this season of the y ear. eights.—The ar r i va l s of seeking and chartered ships during the lass few days have been heavy, and, added to the excessive amount of tonnage already in the river, can not fail to exercise a depressing influence on the rates of freight ; on th e o th er h an d, age nts of regular traders are doing thei r b es t t o g i ve support to the market, and are holding oat for an advance. We understand that Awed.. can ships are to be obtained in sufficient abundance at 8 dole. per ton, for freight to ports of the United States. CELINA MARKETS. HONG KONG, JUNE 14.
