By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re ceived our private correspondence and files of papers from Bombay to the 12th of March, and from Cal cutta to the 3d of March. We take the following from the Bombay Gazette of the 12th of March : "The overland mail of the 4th February arrived here on the evening of Wednesday, the 27th ult. The important news from America has created con siderable excitement in the cotton interest through out the country, and has directed special attention to the subject of its more extensive cultivation. A new impulse has been given to the production of this important raw material, and many schemes are being undertaken.with a view to render England less dependent on America tor the supply of it. We have no doubt there wil: be a rapid and steady increase in the quantity, and improvethent in the quality, of this staple produced and exported for the English market. Manchester may preserve her equanimity, India will feed the half-million of Lan cashire who live by cotton, and keep the 3.10,000 looms and. 28,000,000 spindles in that country in motion. The following action has been taken by the Government of India on the subject : DIAN COTTON TO ENGLAND. " Howe Department, Feb. 28. " Resolution—His Excellency the Governor-General in Council has had under his consideration the possibility of a greatly and suddenly increased demand for Indian cotton in England, and he desires to draw the attention of each local government within the territories of which cotton-produc ing and cotton-exporting districts lie to those measures whereby the power of India to meet such increased demand for cotton may be augmented by help of Government. " It is to be observed : "' 1. That no measure which places Government in the position of the private capitalist, cultivator, or speculator, or which in any way interferes with private enterprise, can be otherwise than permanently injurious in itself and detrimental to the object in view. " ' Therefore all attempts to stimulate cultivation or labour, by any exertion of Government authority, directly or indirectly, are out of the question. " The same objection will apply to model farms and ex perimental cultivation conducted by officers of Government. " 2. No measure will meet the object immediately in view unless it shall tell on the new production of cotton during the next season, and on our means of getting that season's crop to port. This limitation will exclude from present consideratian such projects as railways or canals, which, although the surest permanent means of increasing our power of export, could be made to tell to only a very limited degree on the exports of the next few seasons. Moreover, the attention of Government is already directed to promote these works to the utmost extent compatible with its financial means, and even so serious a calamity as an apprehension of a short supply of cotton in England Could hardly add to the desire of the Government of India to ad vance them as rapidly as possible. " The question for consideration is, what can the Go vernment do towards facilitating an immediate increase of production, and towards improving the means of bringing the produce to port ? " As to increasing production.—The solution of questions connected with the tenure ofland,and with the law regarding contracts for the delivery of agricultural produce, which are now under the consideration of Government, may ultimately produce a very considerable effect on the investment of Euro pean capital in the cotton districts,but the result could not be immediate. More probably an immediate increase of the coming crop of cotton will depend on the rapidity with which information regarding the demand and prices in England can be communicated to the producers in the cotton districts, and on the removal of all impediments to intimate and rapid communication between those who grow or collect the cot ton in the interior and the merchants who export it from the port of shipment. Directly and indirectly the Govern ment may do something to promote these objects, especially if agents of the commercial community of our ports will visit the cotton-producing districts, and do all that may be effected by personal intercourse to reduce the number of hands through which the produce must pass between the place of production and the place of shipment. There is also much valuable statistical information regarding the extent of cotton cultivation which it may be in the power of the Government officers to furnish from the public records, or to verify, when obtained through other means. " ' The operations in the interior of our capitalists at our seaport towns may be facilitated by affording them the aid of the Government Treasury in their banking arrangements in those parts of the country where as yet no private banks have been established. The agents of respectable firms at the Presidency towns might be permitted, under certain rules, to have their bills on the Presidency cashed at the 'Government Treasuries, paying no more premium than the actual cost of conveying the coin. This, without entailing expense on Government, might often prove a convenience to the merchants. _ _ " As to improving the means of bringing the produce to port, it is by facilitating existing means of communica tion, even though it be in a rough way, that Government can best aid the merchant promptly without exceeding its legitimate functions. " < Projects for bridged and metalled roads are not prac ticable within the next year or 18 months ; but there is a great extent of country capable of producing cotton, which is now not easily accessible to ordinary country carts, even during the fair season, and probably it is by improving the present country cart and hack bullock tracks, and thus ex. tending the mileage over which an ordinary load of cotton may be conveyed at the rate of 21 or 3 miles per hour, that the export of the next RPSI/4011'13 crop may be most effectually aided. " ' In this view the Governor-General in Council requests that each local Government will at once take measures to have the lines of traffic between their cotuw—r—J''''ng dis tricts and the port of shipment, wnether on sea or river, examined and reported on by a competent officer. This officer should note, in general terms, the extent and pro bable cost of any improvements required to bring the exist ing country cart tracks up to the standard just described. For the execution of the improvements the Government should select tie nearest executive authority as the one to be charged with the work ; and where there is no such authority at hand, a special agency should be employed for the purpose, the only conditions being that the work to be undertaken should be capable of immediate execution. " For such purposes officers of high scientific attain- CROXTON PARK RACES-FRIDAY.

GREY, Secretary to the Government of India.' " SEVERITY OF THE FAMINE IN INDIA. By the arrival of the overland mail we receive letters and papers from Bombay to March 12, Cal cutta, via Bombay, to March 3. The accounts of the famine are as bad as ever. The Bombay Gazette says : An eye-witness declares that the statements which have been published of the extent and seve rity of the suffering are in no wise exaggerated. Extensive districts throughout the North-West, which in times of prosperity are like the " garden of the Lord," are now uncultivated and desert. The cereals have not been sown, in most cas€ s, for want of rain ; in other cases, for want of seed, the seed having been consumed for food, and the Bun neas refusing to advance, as there is no prospect of a remunerative return. The prospects for the future are as dark and gloomy, therefore, as the present distress is grievous. The people through. out the country have contributed liberally for the relief of the sufferers. Bombay has given one lac and thirty thousand rupees. Calcutta has given an equal sum. Aid from Madras is yet to be re alised. What would such an amount of money do, even under the most favourable circumstances, to save three millions of people from perishing for lack of bread A more gigantic effort must yet be made throughout India. It is most vexing to find, that owing to the want of facilities for inter-communication throughout the country gen erally, the money contributed is consumed in carriage more than in grain. The Oudh. Gazette writes :—" For three months this province has been supplying the North-West with corn of every description ; but instead of the Zameendars tran sporting it themselves, traders and dealers from across the Ganges have to bring their own convey ances to carry it away. This at best must be a most awkward and unsatisfactory process, since the cost of transit (for conveyances coming and returning) must ha as much if not more than that of the grain itself; so that when food is even brought to the doors of the starving, dear at the original purchase, it must sell at famine prices. This want of free and easy modes of transit—that is, simply, of made roads—is general throughout the country, and is the greatest obstacle in the way of relieving the suf ferers. England's bounty is expected to flow in ere long, in answer to the appeals that have been made." The Mofussilite, of Feb. 26, gives the following account of the relief asylums that have been established at Delhi : Sir Robert Montgomery visited the relief asylums at Delhi on Friday at mid-day, accompanied by the members of his staff, all the civil officers, and nearly all the members of the General Relief Committee. The Lieutenant-Governor proceeded to visit the asylums, and learn with his own eyes the confirma tion of the reports he had received of the deep dis tress abroad. There are three great asylums at Delhi outside the city—one at the Khoodsea Bagh, the original relief house, which admits only the most aged, infirm, and feeblest objects of com passion, as well as the latest arrivals, who are' committed to the civil surgeon for treatment. In this there were some eight hundred. The second place is the great enclosure of the Eedgah, in which from six to eight thousand receive a meal a day. The third refuge is outside the Delhi Gate, where from three to four thousand assemble daily. This was visited first. Almost, if not entirely, middle-aged women with sickly young children formed the assemblage, of whom half were widows. The last pinches of want were not discernible here, as timely relief had been afforded, and had begun to tell. Brigadier Brown had formed the groups into regimental dispositions with great precision. No hurry, or noise, or confusion. All received their tickets, presented them at the door, obtained their meal, flour and salt, and went on their way, poor things, into their lonely unfriended homes to eke out their scanty day's meal, the next morning again to congregate at the same poor-house. If these people were not fed, in three days they would infallibly fall into the condition of the second class of sufferers, which we will hereafter describe. After minutely inquiring into all details connected with the first section, so excellently organised and superintended by the Brigadier, the Lieutenant- Governor proceeded to the Eedgah. As he came to the gates a crowd of miserable objects yelled outside for admittance within the precincts. These had been excluded as being fit for work. The yell outside subsided as the gates were closed, and a melancholy scene presented itself. One-half the enormous area was completely covered by wasted files of human beings. In every direction and in every posture of apathy, disease, despair and pros tration, were lying about the hollow-eyed wretched victims of the dreadful visitation, almost too far gone even to care to creep among the long rows of rags, squalor, and half nakedness. Sir Robert paced slowly down the lines amid almost unbroken and painful silence, pausing now and then before some gauut and wan figure to ask whence he came, to be answered only by mute ges ture or exhausted effort at articulation. Out of more than six thousand not one could be pointed out as fit for a quarter of an hour's ordinary work. It was painful enough to reflect, after viewing the remnants of human beings whom charity had reached, upon the thousands who must have been and must be perishing in the highways and bye ways daily. The distribution of chuppattees and dall to this gathering takes four hours a day. Lalla Mahesh Das aids largely out of his own purse in the support of these people, and Mr. 0. Wood, Assistant Commissioner, aids zealously in the charitable, but painful business of superintending the alleviation of so much human suffering. Each of the homeless beings, as they receive into their tattered shreds of garments their food, pass out through the wicket to lie about and nestle among the rocks and stones until the next morning—not a few perhaps to die in the interim. Each has a wooden ticket bound round his right wrist, which •he is not to remove. The men's tickets are oblong, the woman's square, and the children hexagon. Thus, no one can present a stolen ticket and get double food. Nor can he possess more than one, as it is tied to his wrist, and by no other way of pre sentation, and at no other time than at the appointed time will the bear er be entitled to food that day. They enter until 12 a.m., doors are then shut ; they are m ustered and inspected at 1 p.m., and food is dish ibuted until all have received. Those fit for work are daily eliminated, and sent fir work with passes.

CITY COAL DUES. Last night a public meeting was held in the London Tavern for the purpose of organising an opposition to the bill now before Parliament for the renewal of the coal dues levied. by the city. The chair was taken by Mr. Nicholay. The CHAIRMAN condemned the tax as impolitic and unjust, and charged the Government with breach of faith in attempting to renew it. (Hear.) It was monstrous that places like Staines, at a dis tance many miles from the city, should be compelled to pay for metropolitan improvements. The Go vernment, aware of the impossibility of continuing the tax on its present footing, had endeavoured to render it more palatable by limiting it to the metro politan area. Butwhy should large manufacturers be driven from London on account of the dues on the fuel which they consumed ? And if a draw back were allowed to manufacturers, it would be an obvious injustice to private consumers. (Hear.) Tlie embankment of the Thames was very desirable, but funds ought to be provided for it in some other way. He had beard that a private company had offered to undertake it. The Metropolitan Board of Works was not, as a 'body, in favour of the tax. As a member of the Board, himself, he felt that he would not properly represent the great constituency of Marylebone unless he opposed those dues. (Hear.) He believed the decision of the meeting would have much weight with the Board. Mr. LAURENCE objected to the tax, chiefly on the ground that it pressed heavily and unjustly on the poorer classes of the metropolis, and limited their supply of one of the prime necessaries of life. (Hear, hear.) Although he was an ad vocate for a reform of the Corporation of London, he gave that body credit for having surrendered a great portion of the dues. lie dwelt upon the im policy of transferring such• a fund to an irrespon sible body like the Metropolitan Board of Works. (Hear, hear.) He anticipated that the present meeting would be only the first of many others which would be held to protest against that most unfair impost. He moved the following resolution : " That it is inexpedient and inconsistent with the policy of the day to levy enormous dues on an article of necessary consumption, and that, considering the state of the Lon don poor last winter, and the price of fuel, a tax on coal entering London is a grievous burden, and ought not to be entertained." (Hear, hear.) Mr. ALFRED RICHARDS, in seconding the reso lution, reviewed the history of the tax, and pro nounced it illegal and unjust from its commence ment. Sir John Trevor was ignominiously dis missed from the office of Speaker of the House of Commons for having taken a bribe of £l,OOO from the corporation to pass the bill in an underhand manner; and the charter 'which the King had granted to the city was one which he had no right to issue. It appeared to him singularly inconsis tent that at the time when we were supplying France with untaxed coals an oppressive tax should be renewed upon all coals entering our own metropolis. (Hear.) The Thames embankment scheme had no more 'earnest supporter than him self; but he desired to see money procured for it either by a general rate, by a grant from the Con- solidated Fund, or by private enterprise. A com mittee of the House of Commons now sitting was about to investigate the whole question of these dues, and no measure ahould be passed until that committee had reported. Mr. CHARLES COLWELL and Mr. BIICKTON sup ported the resolution. Mr. GEORGE BROOK regarded the coal dues with disfavour, but feared that there was not the slightest chance of getting rid of them. Under that impres sion he therefore moved as an amendment— " That this meeting is desirous of inducing the Govern ment not to continue the tax on coals, but holds, that if the Bill for levying the tax be carried, a portion of the money so collected should be applied for the purpose of doing away with the bridge and road tolls in and near the metropolis. _ _ The CHAIRMAN pronounced the amendment in. , competent, as the question was whether or not there should be a coal tax, and not how it should •be applied. . _ 1 Mr. PEARCE maintained that the coal tax was an advantage to the labouring classes of the metropolis, as it was the means of providing them with em ployment in the construction of public works. (A voice—" You're a servant of the Commissioners of Sewers.") He denied that the Metropolitan Board of Works was an irresponsible body, because the members had to render an account of their proceed ings to their constituents. There must be some fund for paying the expense of public improvements, and he supported the coal dues until a good sub stitute was proposed. (Hear.) Mr. J. It. TAYLOR supported the resolution. Great confusion and disorder arose on the resolu tion being put to the meeting. The Chairman professed himself unable to decide whether the show of hands was in favour of or against the continuance of the tax, and each side loudly claimed the majority. At length tellers were appointed, and the vote was declared to be against the resolu tion, and in favour of the tax. The meeting then broke up, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CANN ON-.ROW, WESTMINSTER. Last night, about a quarter past 10 o'clock, a fire of a most destructive character broke out on the premises belonging to Messrs. Hills and Mat thams, hay and straw salesmen, of Cannon-wharf, Cannon-row, Parliament-street. Cannon-wharf, although occupying a large area of ground, extending from Cannon-row to the river, is entered by a sort of blind thoroughfare, in itself so retired that, after the usual business of the day, no passers by would be likely to observe the pre mises. It was probably owing to this circumstance that the fire had attained a considerable height before any discovery of its outbreak. The first alarm appears to have been given by a police officer on duty in Cannon-row, who, while making his rounds, observed a bright reflection inside the entrance gates of Messrs. Hills and Matthams' premises. On looking further, he at once saw that a fire was raging on the wharf, where an immense quantity of hay and straw, and other combustible materials were stored. Without a moment's loss of time he raised an alarm, and Mr. Hills, whose residence is ) in Cannon-row, and who at the time was entertain ing a party of friends, was instantly on the spot. Summoning to his aid several of his employes who resided in the neighbourhood, their united efforts were first directed to an attempt to save a stud of 17 horses standing in two stables on the south side of the wharf. Owing to the rapidity with which the flames spread this proved to be impossible; and notwithstanding every exertion was made by the head carman (who was himself severely burnt in the attempt) and others, only two of their number were rescued. The engines arrived in rapid succession soon after the alarm was given, and under the judicious direc tion of Inspector Bradstock, of the A division, a large body of police officers were stationed along Parliament-street and in the adjoining thorough. fares, so as to preVent the crowd from interfering with the operations of the firemen. But no exer tions on their part, however well directed, availed to save any portion of the premises where the fire broke out. These were utterly destroyed, and be fore the fire had spent itself the rear of three or four houses in Cannon-row bad been seriously damaged.

AcorgENT ON THE LANCASHIRE AND YORK SHIRE LINE. --An accident, involving destruction of pro perty to a considerable amount, occurred on this line at the Halifax Junction, near Sowerby-bridge, on Wednesday. A luggage train started from Sowerby-bridge for Leeds about half -past 10 in the forenoon, but by some means not yet satis factorily explained, as soon as the train left the main line for the junction, the engine got off the rails, dragging with it the tender, the transit •van, and three trucks loaded with iron. The engine ran about 100 yards in this way, plough ing up the line, breaking the sleepers into matchwood, and smashing the rails. Ultimately the engine, the tender, and the van were overturned. The driver and stoker escaped_ with comparatively little hurt, but the guard, named John. Littlewood, of Holmfirth, but lodging at Sowerby Bridge, had his ancle fractured by falling out of the van when it was overturning. He is now at the Halifax Infirmary.. The line was blocked up several hours, and the trains had to go round by North Dean Junction.
