Moreover, we will prove that they may be rendered a large source of permanent revenue to the Company. Let it be assumed that some given line was de termined upon, and that the estimate was fixed at five millions sterling. The ordinary process would be to apply to the ruling capitalists of the money market to supply the funds on the security of the East India Directors, they consenting to repay the loan at a cer tain date, and to pay interest on it year l y or half yearly. Supposi ng that interest were 5 per cnit., and the principal were returned in twenty years, it is clear that the railway would have cost ten millions sterling, since the interest in that time would have equalled the principal. Now, what induced the lenders to accept the secu rity of the directors ? A faith in their responsibility. It is a transaction of pure credit. On what basis did this trusted responsibility of the directors rest? On the known fact of their being possessed of the terri tory of India, rich in every description of produce, and protected by a powerful and disciplined army of 260,000 troops. But if this territorial possessfon were deemed a good security by lenders, which is im plied in the argument, or the loan would not have taken place, is it not an equally good security tothose who actually construct the railway ? The security in fact is not in the directors, but in the land and pro duce of India, of which they are the trustees and ad ministrators. Why, then, should they borrow at in terest ? Why borrow at all ? Why not create the instruments required, instead of seeking them on the Stock Exchange ? They hold the real property, which is the true guarantee of the loan ; and out of the reality they are quite competent to create its sym bol cr representative. In a word, let them issue their own currency, on the basis of their own property, in the shape of railway notes. If they can be trusted to redeem a debt contracted in gold by the return of gold out of the land and produce of India, wby should not they be trusted to redeem their notes ? In what, except in the nature of the instrument, does the signature on a skin of parchment differ from a sig nature on a piece of paper ? Surely the one is as valid as the other, for the validity of both depends en tirely on the real property of those by whom they are signed.

THE WIDOW a hve GORGE ED W.XRD HOLLEST, of Fri;nley, Surrey —Frimley, Baa shot, December 31, 1. , ;:;(1. —An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GiLORGE EDWARD HOLLES f, who for a period of DI years, in an exe - nplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district ur. I,r his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the meats of making a provisi*n for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its nateral supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exc ed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate, means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. Berries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

(From the Journal of Industry.) When the Marquis of Dalhousie had received his appointment of Governor-General of India, he is re ported to have said that instead of seeking to gratify ambition by territorial conquest, he would endeavour to elevate and enrich both England and India by extending the cultivation of cotton. Few Englishmen appreciate at its real worth the vast importance of our Eastern possessions ; yet we venture to affirm, after very careful investigation, that 'British India possesses a wider and richer field for industry than all our foreign trade united affords, provided the resources of the country were fully developed ; nor need we ever fear that a commerce there commenced would be checked or destroyed by hostile tariffs. The great industrial want of India is facility of land transit—rapid, safe, and economical—readily to be supplied by a judicious system of railways. Every man of experience admits this fact, but the difficulty we undertake to demonstrate, beyond all cavil or quibble, that a complete net-work of railways may intersect the whole of India without the intervention of an ounce of gold, and without the cost of a single farthing either to the natives, or the people of this country. Of the practicability of this plan, we shall presently give the most decided evidence ; but a few prefatory remarks, addressed to those who are imper fectly acquainted with this brightest jewel i n th e crown, may not be inappropriate.

But it may be asked, is there any precedent for such a transaction ? Can any example be given where such a plan has been proved to be practical, safe, and profitable; and where the end sought to be realized, has been accomplished ? We answer all these questions in the most decided affirmative, and defy contradic tion to the following statement in the slightest parti • cular : About the year 1821, the people of Guernsey de termined to build a meat-market. The estimated cost was 4,0001. The legislative body of that island is called the " States" (Les Etats), and they sanc tioned this expenditure. Some habituated to the old routine proposed to borrow the money at interest, hut the President of the States, Daniel De Lisle Brock, a man in all respects far in advance of his age, repudiated this proposal, reasoning thus :—" Our island is honestly worth 4,000,0001. sterling, and is, there fore, a most ample guarantee for 4,000/. ; if grangers would think thi s a goo d secur i ty for them, we ought it to think a good security for ourselves; why not then lend ourselves the money, and save the interest which strangers would require ?" This advice was acted upon. The States sanctioned the emission of 4,000 1/. notes, which were numbered, and marked on their face " Guernsey Meat-market Notes," and they were declared a legal tender within the island, di3charging all debts and liquidating taxes due within the insular jin isdict ion. The market was commenced, and, as the work progressed, the contractor was paid instalments in these notes ; with these he paid for wages and mate rials. They were freely taken by the shopkeepers for goods, and by them paid to landlords for rent. Finally, the treasurer of the States accepted them in payments of taxes. They were thus in constant cir culation, fulfilling the functions for which they were issued. These notes were essentially and exclusively a local currency—they were never exported, because they were of no use to foreigners, not possessing any intrinsic value, but deriving all their authority from t!ie " States," the representatives of the people, by whom, for the acknowledged benefit of the people, they were put into circulation. The merchants and tradesmen of Guernsey who owed debts to foreigners, paid them by bills upon London or Paris, so that this local currency in no respect interfered with their fo reign trade, the balances of which were always dis charged in the money of the country where those balances were due. I NTHER article, peE TO rhßapUYcaution A DRESSING-CASE. ) v In no s, is more necessary than in the purchase of a Dressing-case, for in none are the meretricious arts of the unprincipled manufacturer more frequently displayed. MECIII, 4, Leadenhall-street, near Gracechurch-street, has long enjoyed the reputation of producing a Dressing-case in the most finished and faultless manner. Those who purchase one of him will be sure of having thoroughly seasoned and well prepared wood or leather, with the fittings cf first-rate quality. The prices range from 11. to 1001. Thus the man of fortune and he of moderate means may alike be suited, while the traveller will find the Meehian Dressing-case espe cially adapted to his necessities.-4, Leadenhall-street. '. O. L. E.

THE LORD MAYOR'S INAUGURATION BANQUET. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.—Last evening our new Lord Mayor, Arthur Lee Guinness, gave his inaugural dinner in the great room of the Man sion -house, built originally for the purpose of the civic dinner given to George IV. It is no exagge ration to say that the whole entertainment—whether as regards the costly furniture and decorations, the rich character of the wines and viands, or the stand ing in society of the great majority of the guests— was such as this city has not seen equalled for many long years., indeed, it was well described by the Lord-Lieutenant in his speech, when he said that it was a " princely entertainment—a scene of munifi cent hospitality, such as he had seldom seen equalled, and never surpassed."

His Lordship afterwards ad dressed the ship's company in a short but appropriate speech. . _ 5 0 0 In due course of time the market was completed, and we proceed to describe the mode in which the notes were redeemed. The market was divided into eighty shops, and each butcher readily paid the trifling sum of 51. a year as rent. These payments of course yielded an aggregate annual rental of 400/. At the expiration of the first year's tenancy, this sum was handed over by the butchers to the treasurer of the States, who, by public notification, announced his readiness to cancel 400 of the notes in the order of their numbered issue. These were accordingly brought into the treasurer, and before him and func tionaries duly appointed, they were burned. This p . ocess of extinction was continued for ten consecu tive years, when all the 4,000 1/. notes were extin guished. The market remained, and remains to this hour, au eternal monument of the financial and ad ministrative genius of Daniel De Lisle Brock, who out of li symbol created a reality. But more remains to be told. After the building notes were cancelled, the rent of the market - 0 10 0 - 5 0 0 - 1 0 0 0 10 0 DEATH OF LORD TAYLOR.—Captain Lord Taylor, of the 49th Regiment, died at Fermoy, on Monday last, from the effects of the bursting of a blood-vessel.

APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH", JAN.22.—Alaact—Robert Salmond (1838) ; to the Fitigard flag-ship at Woolwich, vice Allen, internal adminigtration - of India admits of very many other improvements, besides the introduction of railways, especially the abolition of the cruel tax on salt, yet it may be affirmed that iron roads are an absolute necessity to enlarged and prosperous trade. In proof of this we shall cite a very competent au thority;* but it is right to observe that since the pamphlet from which we quote was written, the means of internal communication have been improved. " A reference to the map of India shows that the cotton growing districts on the Nerbudda, and those of Nagpoor and Atnrowty, in Berer, are remote from Mirzspore, the entreFBta on the Ganges, lying between Benares and Allahabad ; and the mode of conveyance may be thus described. The cotton is brought on oxen, carrying 160 pounds each, at the extreme rate, in fine weather, of seven miles a day for a continuance, and at a price of about five shillings for each 100 miles. If we take the average distance to Mirzipore at 500 miles, each pound of cotton costs in transit about twopence-halfpenny. It has thence to he borne by water carriage nearly 800 miles further to Calcutta, from which port the exportation of cotton to Eiigland at a profit must be looked for in vain. Within the last seven or eight years, a good road, between Jubalpore and Alirza pore, has been formed ; and it is satisfactory to know that although 400 carts only passed over it in the year after it was built, no fewer than 6,000 went along it in 1838; and this number will daily increase. The misfortune of this road, however, as regards the cot ton trade, is that it only commences half-way be tween the cotton districts and the entrepla The article, therefore, has necessarily to travel 250 miles on owns' backs, and the contract for conveyance ex teads to the whole distance ; so that, in fact, for all beneficial purposes to the cotton trade in that quar ter, this excellent road is almost useless. In order to render it available, it should be completed to Nagpoor and Ainrowty. Were this effected, and the transport of carts substituted, as we may be sure it would be, it would diminish the expanse of con veyance alone, from twopence halfpenny to less than a farthing a pound. The calculation is simple. An ox carries 160 pounds at the rate of seven miles a day, in fair weather only, for a continuous journey of one or two months. In the absence of a defined end good road, a drove of several hundred head, of cattle requires to be constantly watched and pre vented from straying on the march; and this leads to the necessity of travelling by day in the hot weather when the thermometer is seldom less than 100 degrees, and frequently 130 degrees Fahrenheit. These droves are never so few as 100, and often exceed 1,000. E very morning, after daylight, each ox has to be laden ; and before the operation is over, the sun is already high above the horizon. The cattle have then to proceed at the slow rate of two miles an hour, more than eight or g of enerally halts one day out nine o miles seven. seldom day. i performthe Ta caravan journey s overtaken by rain, the e cotton, becoming saturated with moisture, is so heavy as to prevent its transport on the cattle, and the roads, if lying through the cotton ground, are so deep, that It the mayi n er e c a h s a il n y t and the carrier h a men even sink above their ankles at every step, pp ve a r u y ased that and under e It is obvious that such a m ode of transit is fatal to a e te both ts u ctheirsuch ruined." e calamity,dknees. the trade in cotton, absolutely essential to our manu facturing districts, now m dependent imperiously supply from the United States , where, from year to mainly year, the article is more and more required for their demandedo n factories. todev Railways, lope source of indus try; and considering that our possession of India is chiefly one of military treasure, these iron roads would prove of the highest service in the rapid and easy ; conveyance of troops, and the transport o f th e ae.

In Bengal, in the annual relief, infantry regiments march on the average ten miles and a half per diem, halting six days in a month, so that it takes a very considerable time to journey from point to point. With railways a regiment might travel over as much ground in a few days, as mo nths are now req u i re d t o accomplish, and without fatigue. We have practical evidence of th e u tility of iron roads in military emer gencies in the disturbance at Cracow, which happened a few years since. On that occasion an Austrian corps of 921 men were transported from Prague to Ohnutz, about 160 miles, in fourteen hours and a half; and a body of cavalry, of 1,500 men, with horse and baggage, made the same journey in twelve. Compared with ordinary marching, the saving da me was computed at nearly nice days. 1 , . were easy to multiply proofs of the• invaluable benefits which a well organised system of railways would confer on British India; but the illustrations offered must suffice, for our main purpose is to show The Cotton Trade of India. By Major General Briggs. 1840. Now here a great principle is established, and the East India Company may as readily carry this prin ciple into effect, in constructing railways in their do minions, as the States of Guernsey did in building their meat-market. If the land and produce of Guernsey were a good guarantee for 4,000 paper notes, surely British India is a good guarantee for any number of millions of notes that may be needed for forming iron roads ? In one case as in the other it is equally easy to create the reality out of the symbol. Why should the directors degrade themselves by begging the loans of bits of bullion from the mmeysmongers of the Stock-Exchange, and incur the cost of paying them interest ? Nothing would be more easy than the redemption of the railway notes. After defraying the charges of superintendence and management, some surplus would remai❑ out of the fares from passengers and the tolls from commodities, and whatever that surplus was, it ought to be applied from year to year to the extinction of the debt. Assume, for the mere sake of illustration, that it was five per cent. ; this would ex tinguish all the notes in twenty years, and ever after wards the profits would form a part of the Indian Revenue. This is a most moderate estimate, and far below any calculation that we have examined. Moreover, it must be remembered that by this plan no interest whatever would have to be deducted from the profits of the undertaking. Men of common minds wait for opportunities; men of great minds create opportunities. Lord Bacon said, " Aut inveniam viam, aut faciam ;" "I will find a way or I will make one." It does not become the East India Company to be the servile followers of precedents ; their responsibility is immense, and while it is their duty to avoid rash experiments, they are bound to act upon tested discoveries. We have given proof of the practicability, safety, and usefulness of the plan here submitted to the calm judgment of the directors. We have placed in their hands an instrument of gigantic power, whether it be used for military or commercial purposes. The trust in them is of the most serious magnitude, being no less than the defence of India, the development of its industrial resources, and the progress of true civilization through our Eastern empire. They are the guardians of 150,000,000 of people, who look up to them fir the improvement of their condition, and it will be a slur en their administration, if they refuse to construct railways in their possessions, unless they can obtain pertni, , sion from the bullionists ; for what is the value of all the gold in the wcrld, compared with the value of the soil and products of India ? ALADDIN. CAUTION.—The editor of the Albany Knickerbocker says that he found the following advertisement stock on a lamp post in Canal-street :—" Strayed or stolen, my wife, Anna Maria. Wh oever re t urns h er will get his head broke. As for trusting her, anybody can do so who sees fit; for as I never pay any of my own debts, it is not likely that I will lay awake nights thinking of other people's.—James Q. Dobeon." WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH THE PO PISH HIER.. ARMY ? —The Pope may easily translate his prelates into Latin.

In point of fact the place would be at their mercy, and as the plunderers would operate in the heart of an innocent crowd, entangled in twenty miles of cross passages and twenty acres of valuable commodities, we hardly see how any force, military or constabulary, could act well upon them. So long es the circulation is free there will be no danger, hut with a quarter of a million, or only a hundred thousand, besieging the place, pressing in, ac cumulating whether innoc e ntly or o th erw i se, t h e circulation would not always be free. Nor do we see how it could be kept free without continual orders ' to " move on," which would make it impossible to get more than than a cursory glance at the objects exhibited. Unquestionably there is some degree of risk in the admission of a crowd under the most fa vourable circumstances. Croakers have all sorts of misgivings,—robbery, insult, girders breaking, in fection, and we know not what besides. Now, we think we could answer for any multitude likely to be in at one time on payment of a shilling; for a perfectly free mob we would rather not be bail. Should Mr. Paxton obtain the Parliamentary grant that would be necessary for his purpose many millions would pay for the Exhibition without the pleasure of seeing it. What is fairer than that they who see should pay ? After all, a shilling or two, or even five shillings, will constitute but a small part of the expenses which the visitors must be at in travelling, board, and lodging. Very few foreigners will have to spend less than 51., and very few of our countrymen from the manufacturing dis tricts less than 21., if they are ever so economical. As for families, they can only have a peep. The weary long visit, made for economy's sake in one day, which Mr. Paxton talks of, and which he kindly wishes to split into half-a-dozen visits at leisure, will be una voidable in a vast proportion of cases on account, not of the shilling, but of London expenses. The object is to make the visit worth a shilling; and a visit, with room to move about or stand still—which you please —with equal comfort, will be better worth a shilling than a squeeze in a mob will be worth saying " Thank you " fur. As for our fellow-townsmen, it will be very hard if they, being at no other expense, and hazing nothing but advantage from it, cannot afford a shilling or two for their own entertainment. If anybody is to pay, the Londoners ought. As we have observed already, they are so numerous that the shilling will be of service in keeping them back a little. It should be considered that there is time and conveni ence to be taken into account as well as cost. If ad mission be gratis, there will occasionally be such a mob that many thousands, after coming up from the distant parts of the metropolis, not to say the United Kingdom, will not be able to gain admission on any terms—a disappointment which may be equivalent to the loss of many shillings. But with the shilling " tax" on admission, it is much less likely that the building will ever be so full as to require the doors to be closed against fresh visitors, except per haps for a very short time. Of course we have to take care, or rather the Commission must take care for us, that they do not, for a nominal freedom, create a very unpleasant and useless monopoly. If the mob are to have possession of the building five days out of six, and if they attend in the numbers we expect, they are likely to have it to themselves; and all the better sort of visitors, ready to pay their shil ling, and able to turn the Exhibition to the best ac count, will be put to a serious inconvenience. The single shilling day will be of very little use to persons —perhaps ladies—who have come up from a distance for a week or ten days, and who will only just ma nage two days in which they can see the Exhibition with comfort and advantage. All this we grant is speculation. The question is open to much diversity of opinion ; and the experience of May may stultify the anticipations of January. But it is better to begin on the safe side, and the safest side by far we hold to be to require from every visitor his fair con tribution to the show, which we need not say will, in this case, be very well worth the money. ADVERTISER.—The question of Papal aggres sion, though it has been in comparative abeyance for some time past, will, before the lapse of another fort night, come again before the country under circum stances of profound interest. Ministers, from all we can learn, are not prepared to take up that position on this question which both the necessities of the case and the dictates of a sound policy would suggest Something, we are told, is to be done to repres s tios Popish audacity and check Popish assunn in England ; but Ireland, if we be correctly She is informed, is not to be toueotcurred which ed to be treated as if nothing had impression whi c h could in any way affect her. prevails in quarters where, of a ll others, correct infer metion might be suppose d to existis, that the measure which is to be introduced for dealing with Popish insolence in this country,. i will not m a k e the slightest refer en ce to the position n which Ire landplaced by the recent aj7 r ess ior s has been ct the Roma° Pontiff. On es hat ground the Whi g Cabinet have artived at this strange ena startling determination, We have yet to 'carp. W e are c urioue to be informed on the point. The Whig Administration have never yet enjoyed the re putation of being wizards ; but they will deserve to be so regarded, if they can convince the Protestant people of these realm thatPopish S ,whileecclesiastics ere to be pr&dbited, under heavy pains and penalties, from assuming the title of archbishop or bishop of An y P lace in England, the Popish prelates of Ire land. are to be suff e red t o en j oy t h e i r ecc l es i ast i ca l dieienctions without being in any way interfered with. The fact is, that it was a grievous error, in the nrst instance, ever to have allowed the abettors of Popery to assume Irish titles in the sister country. It is customary to ascribe the recent act of Papal aggression, which has convulsed England from its centre to its circumference, to the progress which Romanism, under the name of Puseyism, has REMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION. Yesterday morning at a few minutes before seven o'clock a fire of a very destructive character, con suming before it was extinguished a vast amount of property, happened in the spacious premises belong ing to Mr. Robert Whitaker, playing-card and paste board manufacturer, Little Britain. The property has five floors in height, including the basement, the front forming two of the large houses in the public thoroughfare, whilst the main factory was a building nearly as capacious and contained an equal number of floors, the entrance being by a flight of stone steps. The discovery was made by an apprentice who slept in the second floor of the front premises. The upper story was termed the enamelling compartment ; the whole of the floors were lighted with gas, and the heat was furnished by German and register stoves. Owing to the great amount of paper, cards, and boards in the building, the apprentice at once saw that unless the flames were quickly stopped a fearful confle.gra!ion would follow. He aroused the two sons of Mr. Whitaker, who were sleeping in the front premises, and sounded an alarm through the neighbourhood. Fire-escapes, engines, and police men were quickly on the spot and in active and fear less operation ; but in spite of their efforts the total loss by this disastrous event must, at a moderate cal culation, reach some thousand pounds, for the whole of the manufacturing premises are completely de stroyed, the upper portion of one of the front ware houses is burned out, the whole of the back rooms of the two front houses are partially destroyed, and the valuable stock in trade seriously injured by water. Fortunately, the principal part of the valuable designs which have taken some years to accumulate, have been saved ; but for a time the whole of the workpeop!e— numbering upwards of forty—will be thrown out of omployment. Mr. Whitaker was insured in the Union and Phoenix Fire-offices. Not the least idea can be formed as to the cause of the misfortune. Mr. Whitaker, jun., informed the reporter that when he examined the premises after the men had left off work, he did not perceive the least appearance of fire in any pert of the buildiegs.
