At a Board of Directors of this Company, held at these offices the 22d day. of October, 1845, It was unanimously resolved, First—That the East India Railway Company was formed in the spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion and communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying oat the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of railways into India. Second—That the promoters of the undertaking 'abstained from adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in some shape, on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the line of railway which should be selected by Government, with the ulterior exten sions and developments consequent upon it. Third—That, in ftirtherance of these views, the Managing Director of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last, accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer taining the views of the local Govcrnmont, prior to the final arrange ments for commencing operations. Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of several years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that, subject to any nnforseen circumstances, the line from Calcutta to the north-western provinces, by Mirzapore, was the most needed by India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the first communication with the Government, the selection being left to the Government. . _ _ _ Fifth—That subsetinent to the formation of this Company, various projects have been announced to the public for constructing railroads in Western India, some of them forming part and portion of the scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the surveys and the operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de sign of Government. Sixth—That under these circumstances it appears to• this Board to be their imperative duty in the interest of this Company to•adopt such measures as will have the effect of securing to the Company the benefit of their original scheme in its fall integrity. Seventh—That with this view, and in order to prove to the Go vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con struction of railways on an extended stale (In the event of its being essential to the scheme of the Government so to commence), it is desirable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten millions, by the issue of new shares. - Eigh`h—That 129,000 sham of 501. each be created, en' which a deposit of ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,900 shares be distributed rateably anion the approved holders of the Scrip already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share; and that the remaining shares, subject to the necessary allotment to the new Directors, be reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as may be found advantageous for the interests of the undertaking. Ninth—That these resolutions be advertised in the Daily News papers, for the information of the Prunietors and the public. GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman. In conformity with the above arrangement it is requested that all holders of scrip desirous of availing themselves of the above provi sions, do send in their scrip on or before the 20th November next, accompanied by an application addressed to the Secretary in the fol owing form : To the Provisional Committee of the East Indian Railway Company.

The object of the proposed undertaking is to unite the city of Exeter greatwith tibnetetgorwarsscohfere for r l m an a d kin ß g r t id h po e b rt e. , t as dir f e o c r t ai n i i ri n g wa rt y part eni o u f ni t2l2 . tion from the metropolis, through EXeter to the important seaports and harbours in the British Channel, as well as cotnpleting the chair' of south coast communication from the potta of foyer, Portsmouth, and Southampton, to Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth. Between Yeovil and Westbury, the Wilts, Somerset, arid Wey , mouth Railway will form the main line of comnianictititiii, at Which latter place it will join a proposed extendiOri of the Berks and Hants Railway from Hungerford, carried through the Pewsey Valley, as shown more distinctly in the accompanying plan. The Berks and Hants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth BIM hate already passed, and those lines are under construction. The Great Western Railway Company Till apply for the extension from Hungerford to Westbury, only thirty-five milts, in the approaching session. The line of the Exeter Great Western Railway is intended to eella mence at a distance of about three miles from Exeter, by a juaction with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Stoke Canon, and proceed ing thence by Ottery Saint Mary and Honiton, will pass into the Valley of the Axe at Axminster. From that place, the main line, in one direction, will continue along the same valley, passing within about three miles of Chard (which town it is proposed to connect with the main line by a short branch), and through Crewkerne, to wards Yeovil, near to which town it will join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway. From Axminster, the main line, in the other direction, will proceed near to Lyme Regis, and thence to Uridport, where it will also join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, leading towards Dorchester and the coast line to South ampton. The fashionable watering-place of Sidmouth will be made acces sible to 'visitors from London and all parts of the country, by a branch to that place from Ottery Saint Mary. . By reference to the map, it will bo seen how effectually this line will supply the only link wanting to complete the continuity of the South Coast Lines, and will afford the best means for an entire through traffic from Cornwall and Devon 'to the different ports of Lyme, Bridport, Weymouth, Poole, Southampton, Portsmouth, Shoreham, Brighton, Hastings, Dover and Ramsgate. It is also a very important feature in the undertaking, which is now submitted to the public, that it gives railway communication to a line of country hitherto unsupplied with this essential means of in tercourse with the surrounding districts ; many towns of importance w!ll have the benefit of local intercommunication, besides being placed on a main and direct line of transit between the metropolis and the most valuable seaports on the southern coast of England. The inhabitants of the city of Exeter, and of all places beyond it, will be brought to a reduced distance of 177 miles between Exeter and London, instead of 194 miles, the whole being worked uninter ruptedly by one Company, on the same gauge, and on a line superior to any that can be carried for the same object; in any other direc tion, whether considered with reference to the shorter new line re quired to be constructed, or to the comparatively easy gradients that can be obtained at a reasonable coat. Under these circumstances there can be no doubt that this raill`ray will not only confer incalculable benefits •on the districts through which it is intended to pass, and generally on the mineral and agri cultural produce of Devon and Cornwall, but will coal',ace to the vast national object of rendering the harbours of Plrr ,nth and Falmouth most serviceable for every purpose of comm`l:ece, more easily acces sible for the arrival and dispatch of fore' .gn mails and passengers, avoiding the delays and dangers of Ch 7.4nnel navigation, and an case ' of war, contributing to the security of British property, whether at sea or on shore.

The capital will be raised in 26,000 shares of 501. each, upon which a deposit of 5/. per share will be paid upon subscriptions, and no further call will be made previously to obtaining the Act of Incor poration. Interest at four per cent. per annum will be allowed, after the Act shall have passed, on the deposit; and on all paid-up calls during the construction of the line, and until the dividends are provided for, under the guarantee of the Great Western Railway Company. The notices are already given, and. the plans and books of re ference will be deposited in time for the Act to be applied for at the meeting of Parliament. If the Act should not be obtained, as before mentioned, the deposit will be paid back to the proprietors, brit with ont interest. A decided preference will be given to landowners and to parties, ;/ - Z- - . " RICE 3D. - ~.. THE YARMOUTH MURDER. (From the Cambridge Advertiser.) The following is the copy of a statement made by Mrs. Dick, before the Mayor, relative to the murder of the late Mrs. Candler : " The information of Sarah Dick, wife of John Dick, taken the 25th day of October, 184,5, before William Hurry Palmer, Esq., Mayor (now deputy), who deposeth as follows :—About three weeks after the trial for the murder of Harriet Candler, I met with Samuel Parham at the top of the Market-row, on the pavement in the Market-place near Mr. Fenn's in the forenoon about 11. o'clock; he stopped me and said, how do you do? I said I don't know you. He said, Yarham, and said do either of these men interfere with you, either Royall, Hall, or Mapes? I replied, not so much with me as they did with the girl (meaning my daughter). I said do they inter fere with you? He said as they knowed better. I said that if it had been me that you said so much, I would have given it to you well when I got out, if I had to go to gaol for it seven years. He again said they knowed better, and I got upon the road way to come away, and made answer, you are either the murderer yourself or you know well who did it; he touched me on the shoulder and said stop Ler and I'll tell you all :about it. I said Ido not want to hear it; he again said I'll tell you all about it. I said well what do you say about it. He then said he was not so much to blame as Hall, Royall, and Mapes. He said they heard Mrs. Candler had got money, and they never would let him rest, but always wanted him to let them in, and they had hea r d th a t M r. Catchpole was going to th e ngel, and they wanted to be in that night, and he made a bargain with them not for to meddle with her, but to go in whe n s h e wen t f or t h e b eer; for sometimes she would be out a quarter of an hour; they were not to touch her—to use her badly—but to get the money—so they came, and he was to let them in ; they came at first between 10 and 11 to the back door, and she was going about, and the shop was not shut in, so Royall watched about till very near 11, till she went for the beer, he let them in, and there was a deal of drinking in the Swan, and noise, and he told them to go into the bed-room first, the money was always there. She came in sooner than what she generally did, and he said, he and the boy Mapes and Hall were in her bed-room, and he had a candle in his hand and Royall was at the back of the counter, and when they heard her he put the candle out and sat down on the bed and did not know what to do, and sat for a few minutes, and Mrs. Candler sat down at the fire-side, and Royall moved at the back of the counter and she came out and asked Royal, what he wanted. I know you, says she, and he said he wanted half an ounce of tobacco. She turned round to get Ithe tobacco, and he struck her; then the others they came out, and Hall had a pair of pincers in his hand, and he beat her about the head, and they left her lying till they had got all the money, as they expected, and he (Yarham) and Mapes went into the bed-room again, and Jigger nailed up something over the lights and shut the door, and they all sought the money. He said they might h ave l ong soug h t a hammer, for it w as Jigger's pincers that did it—anybody might have seen that it was no hammer—so they got all the money, as . they expected, and were going away, and they looked at the old woman and they thought she was dead, and they listened to hear if any one was passing or repassing ; and Mapes went out first and went across the street to a girl or a woman; so then they all three (Yarham, Royall, and Hall) came out together, and they three went up the Black ' Swan-row, and Mapes and the woman followed ; and the woman hearing a great noise in the Swan went in there and called for something, to see who was there, and she ' said there was a deal of the Angel men drinking there, and were happy enough, for the words they made use of were, let us have another pot, some old must pay for it that never saw it. Then they all went to hide the money, and they met different people they knew, and when they got across the market they saw one of the policemen, which proved to be Layton ; so Jigger went round the fish-market and into his father's house, and the others made on with the money. Then he heard a noise like a whistle somewhere about the Bleach, and he told them to goon and hide it, for his house was sure to be searched, and to give him a signal when they had hid it. Then he went home, and he heard Mrs. Candler moaning, and he went in to see, for he was afraid for she surely knew them all, and the lard knife was laying when he went in ; and she turned her eyes upon him, and he cut her throat, and she put. her hand to grip the knife; and that was the way her poor hand was cut. I told him then that he was the murderer himself, and he said 'No, it was Hall, and Royall beat her so with the pinchers that she could not have lived.' And I said, ' Did not Mapes meddle with her ? ' ' and he said, 'No ' • he only plundered the house.' And I told hi m he ought to have spoken the truth at first, and things would have been different. He then told me to say nothing about it, because i that his solicitors told him that they wanted to fetch me in it, that I had done it with him. I forgot to say that Yarham, after cutting her throat, said that he went up stairs and washed his hands, and he was much put about, and that his wife had had leeches on but was not to say sick, but was down the next morning apparently well, whether it was from agitation or not he could not tell, and that when Royall came to give the signal he (Yarham) threw the window up, but he could not see him, but came down stairs and looked out at the front passage after him, and be saw him going past John son's shop, and the policeman Waller coming down towards him (Yarham), but they did not speak to each other, and he (Yarham) went in again. He said he let his master in, but he did not say anything to him. Some one then spoke to Yarham, and they went away together. I have not seen Yarham since to speak to. " The PC mark of SARAH DICK." The above extraordinary statement was made, but the Mayor declined administering an oath. It is much to be feared that it will not prove available to the conviction of the murderer. THE CORN QUESTION. The Constitutionnel, sp ea ki ng o f th e prevailing scarcity, observes---" The difference in the harvests from one year to another are decidedly not so considerable now as formerly. The progress made in agriculture has done away with a vast number of those causes which formerly comprised the harvests. The falling off formerly was one-third, one-half, and even two• thirds of the quantity requisite for consump tion, and the last century shows the most afflicting souvenirs • i ttigres ec but since that period the produce of corn has had more than one rea y -0-I,larVMt;ltirttifttettibra4l2oll- The falling off of 20 or 25 per cent., although very con siderable, certaii:ly does not bespeak a famine. Was the deficiency to be equally divided among the consumers they would not undergo any very serious deprivation ; but un fortunately such is not the case. The high price of bread does not diminish the consumption of the higher classes, and scarcely alters that of the middle classes, so that the deficiency falls almost entirely upon the lower classes, and the deficiency, instead of being at the rate of 25 per cent., is augmented to at least 40 or 45 per cent. This difference is enormous for stomachs accustomed to a food, a large quantity of which contains in reality but little nourish ment, and as the misery increases, the physical powers diminish in a proportionate ratio. The difference in the consumption of food in different countries, under the same latitude, is very remarkable. In England the consump tion of corn is 220 kilogrammes each person in the year. In Russia it is 400 ; in France, 200 ; in Bavaria, 220; in Saxony, 160; in Austria, 145. It is somewhat singular that the consumption of the article salt should follow in nearly the same progression as that of bread. In Austria, for instance, the consumption is 5 kilogrammes per head; in Bavaria it is 9, and in England 11. The quantity is even more considerable in Russia. This fact completely de strays the assertion which has frequently been made, that vegetable nourishment requires more salt to make it wholesome than animal food. In England, where the consumption of meat is 31 kilogrammes per head, three times the quantity of salt is requisite, as in Austria, where the consumption is only 14 kilogrammes. The same observa tion will apply to Bavaria, where the consumption of meat is 22 kilogrammes per head per annum. The greatest con sumption of meat is in Munich; it is said to be 115 kilo grammes per . head, and is almost equal to that of bread. The consumption of beer is also greater there than in any place else. It is, indeed, something extraordinary, being 800 quarts per head per annum, and is consequently four times greater than that of England. Now that a famine threatens Bavaria, the deprivations which the people will have to submit to, and how much the inhabitants of the capital will have to reduce their wants, real or imaginary, may be easily conceived. The Austrians are probably the most sober people of the Continent, yet they are nowise de ficient in physical strength. The preceding details prove that the problem of subsistencies has been, up to the present period, but very imperfectly studied, notwithstanding that it is the question of ali others in which the human race is moat interested." Emancipation (a Brussels journal) contains the fol lowing account of the measures taken to meet the scarcity in Belgium;—" The Central Board of Relief held a meeting at the Hotel de ilia on the 11th instant. Upon the propo sition of M. Schueri;:ans, president of the sub -committee, the following propositions were . agreed upon with regard to that sub-committee :--‘ The .lists of labourers and other persons who shall be admitted 1:.? make purchases in the depots of the Board shall be drawn ql by e the committees of charity of each parish by the societies oi beneficence, by the manufacturers and shopkeepers. For this :nurse set forms of lists shall be addressed with the least pt osible delay to those respective parties. There shall be deliv:red for to the persons admitted to malts purchases in the depots cards numbered, and bearing the name of the aesaid person coming to effect such purchases, the nature of his calliug, his residence, the number of persons cob- 1- posing his family, and the disposition of article 15 of the organic regulation. They shall moreover be stamped with the seal of the Board (article 11 of the organic regula tion).' The cards shall be withdrawn by the sub-committee entrusted with their deliverance when it shall be found that they have become useless, or when they shall be made . a bad use of ; and upon being returned they shall lose their value. The lists and the number of cards distributed and withdrawn, shall be communicated to the Central Board at each of its sittings. The six members of th e corn; mittee shall exercise a continual surveillance, visiting ana , con trolling the office of inscriptions by turns once ever) , week. They shall assemble at the Hotel ai Friday at six o'clock in the evening, upon p 1 f .. the 3f., and such as shall arrive beyo nd the hour forfeit IP The money thus forfeited to be p laced at the dispose o Board. Upon th e proposition of M. Boe . ts d'Hamer, secre tary to the second commi ttee entrusted with the making the ne cessary purchases, the B oard decided upon _ q uantity of the articles which the the d bearers of card . s might be nature and a ll o wed to purchase. The following .. was maim of the Board in that respect ;--4.Every two days for each person one loaf weighing one kilogramme. Each person weekly seven kilogrammes of potatoes, or seven tickets for a quart of (the Board decided that by way of trial it would sale every day soup made f ro m meat). Children between the ages of three and twelve scoallupseetaochllie made and offered for years to be a llowed half the above quantity. Weekly for every fifty kilogrammes of buck wheat bread. The Board, moreover, decided upon the proposition of the sub committee —J. That it would apply to txovernment, in order to obtain the free transport, or at a very low charge by the Government riulroads, by the canal of Charleroy, or any other means, the purchases of grain, &c., which it might be necessary to make. 2. That it would demand of the college of burgomasters And sheriffs authority to purchase, at the lowest possible pt ice, the corn, rice, potatoes, &c., in such quantities as might be deemed necessary by the sub-com mittee, the said qua.ntities, however, to be approved of by the college in conformity with article 6 of the organic regu lations. 3. That it would demand permission to have the supplies of butter and coals, which might be deemed necessary offered to public adjudication." Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colo nial-office for the Governors of the Mauritius, Ceylon, and Hong-Kong. 1 3 4 618.

Deposit, 2/. 12s. 6d. per Share. PRELIMINARY NOTICE. Amongst the numerous projects recently brought forward for con necting important towns and districts in England by means of rail ways, no direct line of communication from Exeter to Tavistock, and thence to Bodmin, has attracted the attention of the public. The South Devon Railway front Exeter to Plymouth and Devonport, and the Cornwall Rail Way, proceeding from those pOrts, but not approach ing Bodmin within several miles, afford a very sinuous, inconvenient, and imperfect route bbtween the ,two terminal points of the proposed line, the latter of which is still linsupplied with any immediate rail way facility. The Bideford and Tavistock Railway —now in projec tion—assisted by the Exeter and Creditou Railway, will supply in like manner a very circuitous course of communication between Exeter and Tavistock; but all these lines leave the midland districts and several important towns and villages totally void of railway conveniences. The proposed Exeter, Tavistock, and, Bodmin Railway, however, ' commencing at the City of Exeter, proceeding by or near to More ton-Hampstead, and throwing out a branch to Ashburton in its course across the Forest of Dartmoor, will pursue a direct line to the Parliamentary borough of Tavistock ; and, passing by or near Cal lington and Liskeard, will terminate at Bodmin, thus providing a direct channel of intercourse in a line not exceeding flay-six miles in length between the two terminal places, ant furnishing the inter vening towns and villages with the means of immediate transit to Exeter in the east and Bodmin in the west, and extending from those places to all parts of England. The existing railway from Bodmin to Wadebridge will complete the line to the coast of Cornwall, in the Bristol Channel. Thus the direct line from Exeter to Bodmin, with the proposed branch to Ashburton, will unite the whole of the midland districts of Devonshire and Cornwall, comprising a tract of country occu pied by a large population, and unrivalled for agricultural produce and mineral wealth. A prospectus and a map of the line are in course of preparation, and, with the names of a. ,powerful Provisional Committee, will shortly be published. In the interval, further information may be obtained from Messrs. Phillipi and Son, No. 28, Lawrence Pountncy lane, solicitors to the Undertaking ; and at the offices of the Com pany, No. 37, Gresham-street, where application for shares may be made.

This railway is designed to connect, by the shortest practicable route, the port of Liverpool with Preston and other places to the northward, and with Blackburn and other places to the eastward, and to supply Manchester, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport, and other manufacturing districts in Lancashire, and the West Riding of Yorkshire, the advantage of direct railway communication with Southport and the west coast of Lancashire. _ _ One portion of this railway will diverge from the present line of the North Union Railway at or near Farrington, and by forming a communication with the Blackburn and Preston Railway there, will accommodate the traffic both of Preston and Blackburn, and the places beyond. From Farrington it will proceed by Ormskirk, and thence past Kirby (where it will form a junction with the Liver pool and Bury Railway), and terminate at the intended new sta tion of the Grand Junction' Railway Company at Edge-hill, Liver pool, from whence there will be access to the north and south docks, as well as to the Lime-street station in that town. This portion of the main line will be twenty-four miles in length, and will bring Liverpool within twenty-seven miles of Preston, and thirty-three miles cf Blackburn. Another portion of the under taking will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's, In the village of Burscough, near which it will intersect and form a junction with the line from Farrington to Liverpool, and proceed thence through the Douglas Valley to Wigan, where it will a vail itself of the North Union station in passing through the town, pro ceeding thence by Hindley, Atherton, Tyldesley, Ellenbrook, and Worsley, it will form a junction with the Liverpool and Manch est er Railway near Eccles, and with the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury ',Away in Pendleton. By means of a junction with the Bolton and Leigh Ral^4 way at Atherton, the advantages of this line will be extended to the town of Leigh. The length of this trunk will be about twenty- eight miles of new line, bringing Southport within thirty-three mil es of Manchester, sixteen-and-a-half of Wigan, and twenty-six of 80l ton, and reduc ing the time occupied in the journey between Southport and Man chester from four hours to little more than one, and between that favourite waterlog-place and other manufacturing districts in like proportion; at the same time substituting for a dilatory and expensive means of transport, the dispach and economy of a thorough railway communication. The line between Wigan and Manchester will pass through a popu lous district, possessing extensive manufactures ; and the coal-fleld it will traverse and lay open to the manufacturing districts, as well as to Liverpool, is second to none in this part of England in richness and variety. This railway will also afford Increased facilities for conveying the produce of the abundant agricultural district, lying between the River Alt and the Douglas, to the manufacturing communities of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Notwithstanding the present uncertain, dilatory, and expensive means of access to Stockport, the numbers resorting thither era very great, and rapidly increasing, and it cannot be doubted that the faci lities and economy in time, as well as money, of a direct railway communication, would give rise to an accession of traffic far exceed ing the ordinary ratio of estimated increase. The benefits resulting from the construction of these lines will be obtained at a comparatively small outlay. The country throughout is easy, and of a level character, rendering the works light, and the gradients highly favourable. There are no engineering difficulties, and the advantage of terminal stations, and access to and through the principal towns, are already provided by the establishments of the Grand Junction, Manchester and Leeds, North Union, and Liver pool and Bury Companies, whose cordial co-operation is guaranteed by the participation of those Companies in the capital, and conse quently in the success, of the undertaking.

An it says of these is doubtless true, yet there is another side to the picture, made up of fevers, mortality, shallow rivers, miserable harbours, &c. Yet Texas, redeemed from slavery, would be a valuable territory; cursed with slavery, it is as undesirable as the plague. What avails fertility and a ge. nial clime, where labour is performed only from fear of the whip ; Virginia was as blest by nature as Texas is ; so were the Carolinas; but slavery has desolated them all. The site of Jamestown is a worn-out and abandoned field ; the rail roads traverse the richest sections of the south only to reveal exhaustion and one decaying house surrounded by clusters of negro huts where freedom would have planted a busy, thriving village. But let our correspondent speak : " Corpus Christi, Sept. 20, 1845. "My dear Sir,—l write you from the seat of war —or rather of peace—for here there is neither war nor the rumour of war. I have conversed with more than twenty Mexicans during the last thirty days that I have been on the frontier, from this point 150 miles inland—Mexicans direct from. the other side of the Rio Grande and all concur in saying that there is no movement on that side, that there has been none, and will be none, rumours to the contrary notwithstanding. The Mexican provinces bordering on the Rio Grande desire peace, and would with extreme re luctance join any military expedition. There will be no war, unless our troops are ordered to pass the Rio Grande ! The army, under General Taylor, makes a noble appearance—quiet, orderly, well-disciplined. "I have now finished my travels in Texas, and only wait an opportunity to embark from this place to Galveston, and thence I shall embrace the first opportunity to return to the north. I have seen nearly every portion of this country; frontier settlements, Camanche Indians, and all else worth seeing. - "The general feature of the country is that of an inclined. plane, sloping gradually towards the south-west, including in its breadth front the Sabine to the Rio Grande, about 400 miles. The rivers run parallel to each other from the moun tains to the sea. This general feature of the country natur ally divides the soil into three districts—the mountainous, the rolling, and the level, or sea coast. The level region ex tends along the whole coast. It is not more than 30 miles wide on the east, but expands to near 100 miles on the Colo rado, and then gradually diminishes again towards the Nueces. 'r rosy this region, the rolling or middle district extends back from 150 to 200 Miles. The prevailing character of the coast region is rich alluvion, often of great depth. I have seen it over 30 feet in thickness on the banks of the Brazos, above Washington. The coast is free from stagnant water; nor have I seen what might be called a swamp of any injurious extent in the country. " As one ascends the Brazos, Colorado, Gaudaloupe, and San Antonio, the middle region rises in gradual undulations, above the alluvial region of the coast, extending in some places 200 miles before it blends with the mountain district. On few parts of the earth did the eye ever rest on more good land, rich rolling prairie, interspersed with woolaud and fine streams of pure water, than is contained within this middle district. Of the spotless, pure world of flowers, I may not • here speak ! "Of the mountainous region I have seen less, but still enough to form, I trust, a pretty accurate estimate of its capacities. Beginning on the Rio Grande, at the junction of the Rio Puerco, spurs of the Sierra Madre branch off to the north-east, skirt the head waters of the San Saba, cross the Colorado, and finally melt away in the woodlands of the upper Brazos—spurs of this range of mountains project. southwardly down the rivers Medina and Gaudaloupe to the vicinity of San Antonio. These mountains are not usually high ; abound in groves of cedar, pine, ash, oak, and other trees. The finest valleys of alluvial soil lie and wind throughout the whole range, susceptible of irrigation, and of the highest state of culture. The sides of the mountains, and even many of their summits, are adapted to agriculture. A million of inhabitants will yet find subsistence, comfort, and wealth, in this upper region of Texas. " Such may be called an outline of this country, so famed of late as the seat of diplomacy, of revolution, annexation, war, truth, and humbug. Beyond all doubt, it is a country of great value—superior on the whole to any portion of the Southern States. It is similar to portions of Louisiana, ex cept that it has neither the rank undergrowth nor the putrid swamps to poison the atmosphere, and produce sickness and death. In the low alluvial soil of Texas, intermittent fevers prevail, as they have ever prevailed in all new countries where the sun is first let in upon the vegetable deposit of ages.. "Capital and labour find a good market in Texas. The cotton planter will possess decided advantages over his com petitor in the States. The soil is more cheaply and easily prepared for the plant and will produce more to the acre; the season is longer, and early frosts do not prevent the planter from picking all he can raise. From the Sabine to the Rio Grande, cotton may be cultivated with the greatest facility. _ _ _ " The capacities of Texas for the culture of the sugar cane can scarcely be overrated—the Brazos river alone and its tributaries afford more and better sugar lands than is watered by the Mississippi, and this does not embrace one-fifth of the sugar lands of Texas! All the grains of the north may be grown in this country. I have seen sugar cane, cotton, wheat, corn, rye, and pulse growing in the same locality in Western Texas, and it would seem difficult to say to which the soil seemed best adapted. Tobacco and indigo succeed well, and will one day become articles of export. The culture of silk in the region of San Antonio was successfully tested by the Spaniards. For grazing and stock raising of all kinds, you can scarcely go amiss—the whole country is one perennial, self-sustaining pasture. " Slavery, except in name, can never extend to Northern and Western Texas—if for no other reason, because it can never become in those parts a profitable investment. " The people of Texas, as a body, are law-observing, peace able, intelligent, and hardy. You must not judge of them from the turbulent and unworthy few who came there in earlier tinies—many of these have passed away. Fifty peace able citizens come - here and settle; no note is made of it— one notorious scoundrel flies from justice, takes up his abode here, and every paper in the Union heralds the fact. • " From this time forward the trade from Texas will go north —to New York and Boston; for there will be the consump tion and outlet of her staple production* and thence will be mainly derived her supplies. Indeed, considering the capa cities of this country for the culture of the great staples of sugar, cotton, and wool, no price could have been too large for its acquisition, save that pf a violation of our constitu tion and a sacrifice of our national honour. " I have filled my sheet and can write no more, though I feel as if I had scarcely touched upon any of the thousand other matters that crowd upon me—these I leave for the social circle when we meet." ~! ~/f (, s--t/~ `\ MILITARY SAVINGS BANKS._ commandThhig o cer of every regimetit in trieitTri;y ITfilYiri course of issue. It proceeds—" With reference to article 8 of the warrant of the 11th of October, 1843, establishing regimental ravings' banks, by which it is required that a soldier convicted by court-martial of desertion, or recorded by a board of officers in the usual manner as a deserter, shall forfeit to the public all mon6ys he may have in the regimental savings bank, I am directed to acquaint you that in all cases of soldiers deserting from the regiment under your command, and not returning within three months, or who may be convicted. of desertion within that period, the deposits of such soldiers in the regimental , savings' bank are to be withdrawn by the captain of the troop or company to which each man belongs, and, placed in the hands of the paymaster for the purpose of be ing inserted in the next pay-list, tendered by him to the War office, not as a credit in the man's non-effective account as part of his effects, but as a specific and distinct credit to the public in the general state under class Q. All sums in the regimental savings' bank belonging to the deceased non commissioned officers and soldiers are in like manner to be withdrawn ; but the amount is to be credited in their non effective accounts as part of their effects. The account of every man, whether dying or deserting, which is transmitted with the regimental pay-list, is to be accompanied by a certificate, showing whether he had or had not any moneys in the regimelital savings' bank, and if he had, the parti cular account in which the amount had been credited as above directed. With regard to the deposits of discharged men, as the means are now afforded of transferring the amount of their savings direct from the regimental to a Go vernment savings' bank, although exceeding 301., I am to request that you will point out to all men about to be dis charged, whose savings exceed that sum, the necessity of their deciding before they quit the regiment whether they wish this course to be adopted or not, in order that the neces sary steps may be taken at the regiment for effecting the transfer, by filling up the proscribed certificates. In the event of their quitting the regiment, leaving their money in the regimental savings' bank, as provided for in article 6 of the warrant, they cannot afterwards be allowed to avail themselves of the advantage offered of direct transfer to the Government savings' bank when the deposits exceeds 301." ROBBERS IN INDIA. Various classes of robbers, under the designations of Thugs, Dakoits, Choars, Kuzzaks, and Budhukes, infest the entire country. Tho first and the lootwould appear to be identical, be sparto: pioeb o o r d . ing sets of viliains distinguished by their practice of strangling unsuspecting travellers with whom they may contrive s fall in upon ajoi.irney ; they are sometimes formed into secret societies, not dissimilar from some of those in the middle ages : and it was vainly hoped that Lord William Bentinck had utterly extirpated them. The Kuzzaks are mounted rob bers, who singly beset the highroads, or, being collected into parties, attack and plunder entire villages : in other words, they are Turpins, or Robin Hoods, or Rob Roys, as occasion may re quire. The Dakoits and Choars are more like the early com panions of Gil Blas—thieves who naturally and constitn. tionally assemble in gangs, and who usually limit their de predations to the houses or persons of those reputed to pos sess valuables or money in concealed hoards. These were once the most formidable. being thoroughly organised under sirdars, or leaders : they commonly meet for their lawless procedures under cover of the night, being by day, to all ap pearance, among the most peaceable , and quiet members of sublicharacteristic,ekc,o:nsm,viulilneyeoit3n,h.tainvTeehesweitaretcgrhbelarnotdrhdastaefndDsecreta n , , a wnhaedr signals.de e v r e wherever they Co mpanies, otmh e. . variously armed wo F; : t an, h o s d w atg or ao d tfh s, teh c re l e u d b gr s f , r o p o u i l l iT de, no cominga n one d m k a n t co to getherwh - b w ers as from fifteen to fifty.

The ceremony was conducted by a Brahmin of degraded condition and dissolute life. Having propitiated the goddess by the promise of a portion of their :WA. they marched with lighted torches, and little attempt at concealment, beyond disguising their faces by pigment, or r,overing them with masks, to the object of their expedition, usually the dwelling of some shopkeeper or money-changer, in which it was expected to discover treasure. Occasionally the motive of the attack was ven geance; and information given by the householder, or any member of his family, against some member of the gang, brought upon him the resentment of the whole fraternity. Upon entering the village, it was customary to fire a gun as a signal for the inhabitants to keep within their dwelling rs ; the house against which the operation was designed was then surrounded ; and whilst some of the gangforced an entrance, others remained as a guard without. , Unless e ex asperated by resistance, or stimulated by revenge, th et' - koits did not commonly proceed. t o murde r • but t ey perpetrated atrocious cruelties upon such persons as re fused to give them, or were unable to give them, information regarding property which they suspected of having been can. cealed ; burning them with lighted torches or blazing straw, or wrapping cloth or fla x stee p ed in oil around their limbs, and setting it on fire; or inflicting various tortures which caused immediate or speedy death. The object being accom plished, and the booty secured, the gang retired before day ight, and the guilty individuals resumed their daily oocapa tions."
