White and Borrett, 35, Lin coln's Inn-fields, It was resolved, That as the dispatch to the Governor-General of India, on the subject of railways in that country, has appeared in the newspapers, the following prospectus be at once issued for the infor mation of the public : HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of the Llama, from which a very tine wool is obtained. The cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street, Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."— Morning Post, April 19. " This garment is so great an imrove ment on the old wrap-rascal, that its general acoption by men of taste is inevitable."—The Sum, April 30. "Amongst the registration of designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is cer tainly a new ono, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered Paletot, two guineas. 114, Regent-street, London, four doors north of Quadrant. 7TARVVICK and CHELTENHAM JUNC TION RAILWAY. The Provisional Committee has the pleasure to announce to their Shareholders that they have this day concluded a most satisfactory arrangement with.the Provisional Committee of the Evesham Valley Railway, whereby the Evesham Valley Line is merged in the War wick and Cheltenham, and the valuable support of the Projectors and Committee of the former Line transferred to the latter.

GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by H. J. and D. NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and universally admitted common appearance. The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop habille, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock Coat—a desirable advantage in our wannest summer months, or abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, pined by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale Is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many are kept ready in the extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street, four doors north of Quadrant.

BY CHARLES WHITE, ESQ.—It is in an especial manner to the domes tic life and habits of the Turks, and those institutions which connect themselves with these , that Mr. White devotes himself in this work. His business is with the actual Turkish life of the actual day. The bazaars and markets, the public festivals, the coffeehouses and places of public resort, the guilds and corporations, the foreign legations, the different trades and professions, the cemeteries, the manufactures , the s l a ve market and the slavery laws, the libraries and newspapers, the harems, the army, the cuisine, the divans, the baths, the cos tumes and fashions, the religious ceremonies—these are but a few of the i nn umerable topics that are treated with a degree of minute detail, and of accurate know ledge, that have never before been applied to them in a work of any English writer. The result is a book that, while it may be taken up as a source of amusement at any m oment and in any place, or studied as a fund of information not to be obtained within tenfold the space in any other quarter, must form the indispensable tra velling companion of any future visitor to the city of the Sultan.—Naval and Military Gazette. ROBBERY AT THE FREE-TRADE BAZAAR.---YES•• terday information was received at the diff eren t po li ce s tations that a red silk purse, containing 51. 10 s . i n go l d, and three shillings in silver, was stolen from the person of Mrs. Lund, of 51, Newgate-street, whil e paying a visit to the Anti-Corn-law League Bazaar. . - branch of literature or science, what it might, he eou find no better advis , _T, no kinder friend, than rd Brougham. People might fancy, from wh some times said in the House of Lords, that is Noble Friend was not a very good-tempered man ; but let any man try him out of - the house, and, whatever the real diffi- ctilties in which he might be placed, he would find there was not a better-natured, kinder-hearted man in the world. His Noble Friend had had but littlQ justice done him ; but he (Lord Ellenborough) had felt it right to do him justice. He had said nothing more than he knew to be true, and which, if not now, posterity would trz. knowledge to be true. Without detaining them longer, he proposed the health of Lord Brougham, which was drunk with three times three and one cheer more. Lord BROUGHAM thanked the company for the very kind and indeed affectionate manner in which they had received his health. He felt a peculiar pride in consi dering himself a literary man, although accidental eir eninstanees, professional and political, had estranged him for a season more than he otherwise wished from literary pursuits. He regarded it as a peculiar privilege and happiness to have cultivated literature and science fa• now so long a period, and he attributed the honour miw conferred upon him by coupling his name with the a ricers on sc i ence , to t h e tact that he believed he was at that moment one of the oldest cultivators of science now living in this country; it being just half a century since he first became known to the mathematical world by a publication in the Philosophical Transactions on subjects of mathematics and natural philosophy.— (Cheers.) He was deeply sensible of the value of this admirable and useful institution; and he agreed 'Parti cularly in the grounds on which his Noble Friend, the Chairman, had rested its commendation; he meant, its tendency not to encourage men who had no natural call to devote themselves to literature—for that was not de sirable on the part of others; above all, it was not de sirable on their own particular account. Indiscriminate charity was no part of the object of the Literary Fund. Certainly it was no part of its object to teach literary men to rely on the benefactions of this or any other institution. But, as men of letters were perhaps more subject than others to reverses of fortune, to losses and calamities, to penury and privation, its object was to hold out the helping hand occasionally, temperately, discriminately; and, after full examination and cautious inquiry, to give its assistance secretly, and not to wound the feelings of the most sensitive of nature's sons. To befriend such an institution became not only a duty, but ought to be a peculiar pleasure and highest gratification of all who had the means. The Noble and Learned Lord then complimented 'Lord Ellcnborough on the manner in which he had dis charged the duties of Chairman, and the debt of gratitude the institution owed him for his energetic advocacy of its claims. He spoke in a noble presence ; and, in looking around him for one whose name he might pro pose as a toast, he beheld those who had fought and bled in their country's service. Here were divines, law_yers, poets, masters of sacred song ; here were pi ous prelates, whose lives were pure as the faith they professed and preached ; here were men who had adorned and culti vated social life by the arts they had invented ; here were they who had also stamped their name on the end less memory of the world, for the services they had rendered mankind : among all these, whom was he to choose—whom but their most distinguished Chairman ? —(Loud cheers.) Ile had a grateful recollection of those countless millions over whom his Noble Friend had borne sway with such illustrious distinction, that he would venture to say, in neither ancient, middle, nor modern timer, had there been any example of a more brilliant vice-royalty than he exercised in India.—(Cheers.) Ln der his protecting influence, guided by his masterly councils, land inspired by that without which no states man, be his wisdom ever so profound, could hope to suc ceed, because it would not merit success, and could not earn it,—with that steady and unflinching firmness which, in statesmen as in warriors, is the grand title to success, our armies in that country had been led to victory and renown. Without further preface, he would prose " their Noble Chairman."—(Cheers.) Lord ELLENBOROUGH, in acknowledging the toast, spoke as follows :—I thank you most sincerely for the kindness with which you have been pleased to drink my health, and I owe especially a debt of gratitude to my Noble Friend for the very much too flattering a manner in which he has proposed it. But I owe a debt of gratitude to my Noble and Learned Friend far beyond that. I have to thank him, not for haying praised me in my presence, but fur having defended me in my absence. Gen tlemen, this is not the place for me to say one word with respect to the measures which led to the success that attended my administration in India. This only I will say, that success was unbroken by one single mo mentary reverse. Every measure succeeded ; and I owe a debt of everlasting gratitude to those nobe hearts by which that success was achieved. I never had to com plain of any civil servant of the company with whom I came into personal communication ; I never had to com plain of any military officer. Every one served me with the utmost zeal and the most unbounded devotion. No time shall ever obliterate or diminish my gratitude to them for those services. Gentlemen, I drink all your good healths, heartily wishing prosperity to this So cie ty ; and I hope every year will have a report yet more favourable than that we have heard to-night.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of " Lord Mahon and the Writers of Ilistory."—(Cheers.) Lord MAnom acknowledged the compliment in a neat speech, which was loudly applauded. Mr. MURCHISON, being called upon by the Chairman, proposed " the health of Baron Leopold 'Von Bach, and the Writers on Geology," which the Baron briefly ac knowledged. THE LITERARY FUND. Yesterday.the 56th anniver,ary of the Literary Fund was celebrated by a public dinner in the Freenias,ins' Tavern, Great Queen-super, Lincoln's 1 en- Its. The Right Hon. the Earl of Ellenborough officiated as chair man, and was supported on the right by the Archbishop or Dublin, Chevalier Bunsen, Lord Colchester, Leis] Mahon, Major-General Pasley, aud Mr. James, and on the left by Lord Brougham, Mr. Murchison, Mr. M. Milnes, Sir 11. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, the Rev. 1)r. Russell, Mr. Waster, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, &c. The company, which comprised some of the leading literary characters of the day, numbered about 100. The cloth having been removed, Non nobis was chanted by Messrs. Hobbs, Francis, Chapman, and Hatton. The Noble CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the first toast, intimated that her Majesty hal been graciously pleased to permit the royal crown to be borne on the arms of the Literary Fund Society ; and it was stated in the communication of this her Majesty's gracious favour towards the society, that her Majesty and Prince Albert entertained the most lively interest in welfare. I —(Loud cheers.) He had now to propose that they should drink her Majesty's health, and he was sure they would do so, not merely giving a cold expression l i of their bounden duty as subjects, but an expression coming from the heart, knowing, as they did, that her Majesty illustrated her great station by the high qualities she brought to the performance of her public duty.— (Cheers.) Indeed, in whatever station she might have been born—however low—she would have illustrated that station by the highest points of domestic virtue. Ile gave her Majesty's health, which was drunk with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The health of her Ma jesty the Queen Dowager, the respected consort of the late Sovereign ; of Prince Albert, the chosen and beloved consort of our excellent Queen ; the Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family ;" which was drunk with three times three. The CHAIRMAN next called upon the company to drink to the health of the Archbishop of Dublin, who was not only one of the first dignitaries and luminaries of the Church, but himself a man most distinguished in literature, who had doted for a series of years the tenth of the produce of all his literary works to the ser vice of that society.—(Loud cheers.) He asked them to combine with his name that Church of which he was an ornament, in which at all times there were found men of the most distingaished learning and literature, and that which was above all other advantages, the first of Chris- tian virtues—charity.—(Loud cheers.) The Archbishop of DUBLIN acknowledged the com pliment in a long and able speech, advocating the diffu sion of knowledge, and the cultivation of human intellect —a cause in which the clergy, as servants of Him who said " Let there be light," czilitributed to the full extent of their scanty means. As the most expedient mode of bestowing patronage on literature, and one he had inva riably adopted himself, he recommended those who had the power not to encourage persons to enter any field of literature whose compositions were not likely to be en couraged by the public. His practice had been, when he found literary men having a particular work in view, in a department in which they were likely to succeed, to encourage them by guaranteeing them against loss, and in this way he had found the best results, not only to the individual, but even to the cause of literature and science. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " the Health of Lord Colchester, and the Navy," and "Major-General Pes ky, and the Army." Than the former the navy had not a warmer friend; and he particularly congratulated the officers of the East India Company on the fact that they had the advantage of being examined by Major- General Pasley as to their fitness for the situations they would be called to fill in India. There was not a more highly educated body of officers than those whom the Gallant General was called on to examine. Lord COLCHESTER and General PASLEY severally re turned thanks. The CHAIRMAN next proposed "Prosperity to the Literary Fund." It was now, he believed, 21 years since he became a subscriber to this charity—certainly not as a literary man, for he could not pretend to lite rature. In that society of men of literature and science he was, in fact, the last to fill the chair—(Cheers)—but he recognised the vast influence of literature on the happi ness of mankind, and to the best of his ability ho would at all times encourage those who, with good characters, honestly pursued literature as a professional pursuit.— (Cheers.) He would not attempt to exaggerate the advantages cf that society. He did not apprehend that any man would devote himself to literature from the expectation of deriving assistance from such a fund; nor did he think it desirable that such should be the case. It was far better that men should take that line which their own genius and disposition pointed out to them as that in which they were most likely to succeed. The great advantage of the Literary Fund always appeared to him to be this—that in the occasional distresses and calamities which might overtake almost any man in the course of his life, the literary man might resort to it, and at the same time preserve the dignity of his per sonal character and independence.—(Cheers.) He valued literature as highly as any man, although he did not possess it—he valued science as highly as any man—but he valued independence cf character in the man possess ing either the one or the other highly too.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, the Noble Chairman strongly recommended the interests and objects of the society. The Rev. Dr. RUSSELL, the treasurer of the fund, then read a list of the grants awarded in 1544, and stated that the sum distributed between nineteen men and twelve women, six of the latter being authors and six the widows of authors, amounted to nearly 1,0001. He also read the new list of contributions, from which it appeared that the Noble Chairman, in addition to his annual con tribution of 101 103. ' had added a second subscription of 25/.—(Cheers)—Lord Brougham, 251.—(Cheers)—Che valier Bunsen, 5/. ; Lord Mahon, a third donation of 101 10s.; Sir P. Shelly, 101.; Lord Colchester, 51.; Mr. Macready, 5/. ; Mr. Twiss, 5/. ; the Bishop of Ely, 5/.; Mr. Macaulay, 101; Mr. Hallam, 5/.; Mr. D'lsraeli, let ; Mr. B. B. Cabbell, 10/.; Mr. Walter, lot. ; Mr. J. Walter, jun., 101., &c. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Cheva lier Bunsen, and paid a high compliment to the King of Prussia, whose representative the Chevalier was in this country. The toast was drunk with great applause. The Chevalier BUNSEN, in acknowledging the toast, bore testimony to the liberal and generous spirit in which the Literary Fund conferred its grants, irrespective alike of party and of country, and instanced the case of Chateaubriand, who in the day of misfortune, almost un known personally in England, which still, however, ap preciated his merits and his genius, received that assist ance from the funds of this Institution which enabled him to emerge from embarrassing difficulties. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Mr. Monckton Milnes, and the Members of both Houses of Parliament who had favoured the fund with their pre sence.—(Cheers.) Mr. MILNL's was glad of the opportunity of extending his view, even on political subjects, further than the at mosphere of the House of Commons. Ile would rather, in fact, be among them as a writer than as a Member of the house. He eulogised the conduct of the Noble Lord in the chair in presiding over the des tinies of India, and looked forward to the distant futurity when that race of men, different from ourselves, but growing up under our rule in India, would enjoy the advantages of a common situation with ourselves. He was also glad to look to the west, and see not only " a little cloud," but a great and magnificent empire, with the same laws, literature, and language, which, whatever collisions might happen, must be a bond of sympathy between the two countries. lie lamented the wretched pittance doled out by Parliament to literary men, and hoped the time was coming when more ample provision would be made in this matter. He eulogised the most judicious and kind manner in which Sir Robert Peel had, in the cases of the sister of Burns and the late Mr. Thomas hood, afforded the means in the one in stance out of his own funds, and in the other by a pro vision for life, and after death fur his widow, secured the comfort of two most deserving persons. The claims of literature were becoming every day more generally and justly appreciated, even when combined with other pur suits. No one ever heard that Sergeant Talfourd was the worse lawyer because he had written poetry. Lord Brougham was not the less idolised in the Upper of Parliament because he had sown broadcast House tthe seeds of knowledge in almost ev er y field of science and phi losophy. Lord Mahon and M r . Macaulay were not less able Members of the House of Commons because they had wr itten history ; nor was Mr. D'lsraeli less attended to because he wrote such very clever novels.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said— Ile really knew not how to propose it, for how could he attempt to describe the great claims possessed by Lord Brougham to honour from men of literature and science? —(Loud cheers.) He was about to propose " The Health of Lord Brougham and the Writers on Science." But with what class of writers might he not almost with equal justice associate his name ? It was not only in every branch of literature and science that Lord Brougham had been distinguished ; he had done much more—he had not only benefited the existing race and future races by his own writings, but he had done more for education, more to extend the pleasures derived from the improvement of the human mind amidst the middle and even poorer classes of his countrymen, than any living man.—(Cheers.) Contemporaries might rail against what his Noble Frie n d m i g h t say or do upon this or that subject ; jealous men might attempt to underrate his great abilities and great actions; but he might deride all those futile attempts to interfere with his right to eternal fame, which would be acknowledged by all pos terity.—(Cheers.) He did not speak in the language of exaggeration ; he told them that which they all knew —that be the man of his ago whom he might, he would find it difficult indeed to contend, in the opinion of pos terity, with the name of Lord Brougham.—(Cheers.) Posterity would do justice to his great exertions in the cause of civil liberty—in the cause of the general happi ness and improvement of mankind. He could not trust himself with this subject ; but this hew ould say of his Noble Friend, that be the position of a man struggling to come forward in life in any profession, or in any The CIIIIRMAN, in an eulogistic speech, uext pro posed " Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and the Poets ;" to which the Learned Sergeant responded in ,a long and energetic harangue. The next toast was, " Mr. James and the Novelists," to which Mr. James replied in a speech of considerable length. " Mr. Kemble and the Dramatists" was next given, and duly honoured by the company. Mr. Kemble replied, also at great length. A second list of contributors having been read, - - - Lord ELLENBOROUCH said it would be very ungracious if they did not drink the health of those visitors who had favoured them with their company. Ferber', there fore, Mr. Walter would allow him to associate his namo with that toast. Mr. Walter had contributed a great deal to literature—a great deal more in one week than others in a year.—Cheers.) Mr. WALTER said, that any services which he might have rendered to literature, or any cause which litera ture knew best how to diffuse and defend, were amply repaid by their kind reception. Though he was a stranger to the meetings of this society, he was not ignorant of its merits. Dr. Johnson said, that the best patrons of authors were the booksellers; and, in truth, from the period when flattering dedications to princes and rich nobles went out of fashion to the present time, and the support of literature was thrown upon the mass of the people—(" Hear, hear," from Lord Brougham)-- upon the daily increasing number of readers and students —from that time to the present the advantage had been mutual; to the public, by a more ready access to seient» and literature ; and to authors, by a greater number of readers, and of course more ample means of support. If, spooking generally, in our day there had been less of great genius than in preceding times, there had certainly been a more extensive diffusion of minor intelligence, which was perhaps more necessary than even genius itself for the ordinary purposes of every-day practice. hence they had throughout the coun try a great number of literary institutions ; and where there were so many professors of literature, there must, of course, be a proportionate number of failures. The duty, therefore, of every one who re verenced learning and science for lend dir assistanceben e fe whereinfiu ence on mankind obliged them to those failures occurred; but it should be with a thorough recommendation to the aspirants to literary distinction to consider well their talents, and whether they had really the vocation they supposed--(llear, hear)—for if there were error in this respect in the first instance, the less distinguished walks of life would be deprived of mem bers who might be useful—and families, of exertions which might at least repel want and procure moderate comforts. It was the object of that society, and of others of a similar character, to heal the evils which resulted from such a state of things, and it would be extremely hard if those who had dedicated their lives to the im provement of their countrymen should, when life ap proached so near its close that they could make no further exertions, be left to suffer want, either in their own persons, or in the persons of those who had looked up to them for support. He, therefore, heartily withed prosperity to the benevolent objects of this institution, which he hoped would long continue to be the resource of unfortunate merit in literary pursuits of every kind. " The Stewards" was the next toast, which was responded to by the Rev. Sir John Wood. The final toast of the evening was " The Ladies," given in right gallant style by the Chairman, and heartily responded to by the company. Tho meeting broke up about half-past 11 o'clock. PROSPECTUS. This Company has been formed for the purpose of extending to India the great benefits of internal railway communication. It proposes to effect a commencement of a system which shall have for its object the connexion of the several Indian presidencies with each other, and with the nearest point of intercourse with Europe at Bombay, and at the same time to develope the great and unimproved resources of the interior of the Peninsula. The vast importance of the object has been fully recognised by the East India Company and tke Board of Control, who are prepared to undertake each z Etrve• , s as may be rtecesisry to eontoa theist to take =, into coteßibles.avirt.tre generai questiott of railroads in India. The promoters of this measure have represented to these authori ties that this Company may propably find, on due inquiry, that it - will be impracticable to execute the intended roads without a guarantee by the Government of a certain though small dividend, or of some equivalent advantage ; they have therefore much satisfac tion in stating that the Government proposes to depute to India a skilfull engineer, to be associated with others to be appointed by the Goverment of India for investigating the subject ; and when the in formation to be so obtained shall have been received, it will be pre pared to take into consideration the mode and extent of whatever pecuniary assistance it may be proper for the Government of India to afford towards the execution of projects of this description. It is understood that the survey of an experimental line will be executed as soon, as possible, with the especial sanction and assist ance of the Government, as stated above, by whom the cost of such survey or surveys will be borne, and the requisite arrangements, if any, with the native Governments and the owners of the land will be undertaken. On the completion of these preliminary steps it will remain for the Shareholders to determine whether or not the prospects of the undertaking, as thus ascertained, and the terms assented to by the Government, will warrant the further prosecution of the design. From documents, to which access has been most liberally-given by the Directors of the East India Company, very exact information has been obtained as to the general engineering character of the in tended lines ; the same authentic source, and the communications of gentlemen long engaged in high political and military service in the Deecan, have supplied the facts on which the following statements are founded. It appears highly probable from these that further in quiries will lead to a most favourable result, and issue in the final establishment of the Company on satisfactory data. In that case the Company will be established under a charter from the Government in India, and if necessary a charter from the Crown will subsequently be applied for. In this state of things the Provisional Directors consider themselves justified in laying the proposed undertaking before the public. It has been agreed that the capital of the Company shall be fixed at 6,000,0001., in shares of 501. each, making 120,000 shares, upon which it will be re quired that a deposit of 21. 10s. per share shall be paid at the time of issue. The amount of these deposits will be invested in Exchequer Bills or East India Bonds, or in such other securities as may be con sidered safe ; and as the disbursements of the Great Indian Railway Company will be limited to such expenses as may arise out of pro ceedings necessarily connected with the preliminary surveys, and to such other charges as are incidental to its general management, it may be safely assumed that the interest to accrue on deposits will al most, if not altogether, defray all the expenses of a preliminary cha racter. If, therefore, it should be hereafter judged to be inexpedient to carry out the present intentions of the Great Indian Railway Com pany, either from the unfavourable reports of the engineer officers, or from the support to be given to the Railway Company by the Ho nourable the East India Company, under the permission of her Majesty's Government, not being considered adequate by a majority of the Shareholders, the deposit of 21. 10s. per share, and the interest which shall have accrued upon its investment, will be returned sub ject to the payment of all necessary expenses. It is not intended to proceed until after the report of the engineers in India shall have been received, and the result of the investigation duly submitted to the Shareholders, nor in any case is it intended to execute the line, except in portions ; and the calls will only be made with reference to the portions so commenced. It is proposed that the line to be undertaken by this Company shall commence at Bom bay, ascend the Western Ghauts, and pass Ahmednuggur into the valley of the Godavery ; it will then traverse the plains which skirt that river until it has crossed the Manjera, a few miles beyond which it will turn towards the south-east, following a series of connected and fertile valleys, and on emerging from this district, near Rum mummet, it will take a nearly straight course to the Godavery, which it will pass a few miles above Rajamundry, and then proceed to its terminus at Coringa. Four branches will issue from suitable points on the main line ; those to the north will terminate for the present at the frontiers of Candeish, and at Nagpoor, the latter having a sub-branch to Oomrawutty; these will form the first portions of lines hereafter extending to the Ganges and Calcutta; those to the south will extend to Shoolapoor and llydrabad, and be capable of being eventually continued to Madras. From the great field of India, as yet unappropriated by railway en terprise, this main line has been selected, on account of its great and numerous advantages. It will have a large present goods traffic ; it passes through countries whose susceptibility of improvement will occasion great Increase of its traffic ; it connects the two coasts ; and, with the aid of steam navigation in the Bay of Bengal, will give present speedy communication between the three presidencies, in ad vance of its ultimate effect, their connexion by-railway. One terminus is the noble port of Bombay, the other is the only harbour on the Co romandel coast. The route selected by which it traverses the eastern side of the peninsular is certainly the best to be found, and probably the only one which will not require heavy works and stationary en gines. Its branches reach to most important districts and cities, and will form the first portions of railways of great importance hereafter. It will greatly increase and cheapen the supply of cotton from India to England and China, and strengthen the political influence of England in India and the adjacent countries. The length of the main line and branches will be about 1,300 miles ; the cost, including the apparatus required for the ascent of the Western Ghauts, will probably not reach 6,000,000/. This estimate is founded on careful inquiry into the costs in India of such structures as will be suitable to the circumstances and traffic of the country. The amount of tonnage to be expected on each half of the line is about 250,000 tons per annum, of which the greater part is salt, from the coast to the interior, and cotton in the other direction. The price of carriage in these parts of India is nowhere less than 3%d. per ton per mile, and then only in the few cases of carts on level roads. The greater part of it is done by droves of small oxen, travelling six or seven miles a day, at a charge of more than Bd. per ton per mile. Since railways can be worked as cheaply in India as in England, and the English charge, which bears a profit, is 2d. per ton per mile, it follows that the English charg e can safely be made in India, and will at once ensure the traffic, and bring ample returns to the share holders. The annual receipts calculated on the foregoing data will amount to 1,091,666/., and the cost of working the line, according to the best information which can at present be obtained, will be little more than one-half that sum, leaving a surplus available for a dividend of 8% per cent. These results, though stated in gross and roughly, are founded on careful inquiry, and analysis of information already obtained from the authentic sources which have been before referred to. No injurious competition can in fact interfere with them, for only few common roads exist, and those of the worst kind ;" and there are no navigable rivers in any part of the vast dis tricts which the lines will traverse, except for a short distance near the eastern coast. The foregoing calculation proceeds solely on the goods traffic be tween the coast and the interior. All receipts for passenger traffic, the local trade of the country, and the carriage of troops, mails, and Government stores, are excluded ; they are kept as a reserve of uncertain, though probably large amount, and from the known habits of the population, and the experience ac quired from other instances of improved communication, will no doubt for an ample-set-off against any contingent error.
