The Austrian frigate still remains at Spithead, and the Russian and Turkish vessels of war are in the harbour at Portsmouth. An erroneous statement having appeared that the assistant-surgeon of her Majesty's sbip Vengeance, 84, at Portsmouth, had not been allowed a cabin, it is but justice to her gallant commander to state that the assistant-surgeon was actually admitted to the ward room before he was entitled, as he had not at the time passed, and he also has, and has had, a cabin in the after cockpit. He is at present on leave.

We have much pleasure in laying before our readers the following official document, which strongly confirms the view we have taken of the equity of the terms provisionally agreed upon between the direc tors of the Great Western and South Wales Compa nies, for the lease of the line of the latter to the first named corporation : " London Terminus, Paddington, Nov. 26, 1850. " The directors of the Great Western Railway Company having been requested by several proprietors to publish the grounds upon which the proposed agreement with the South Wales Railway Company has been framed, think it advisable to print a letter which was received by their chairman from Mr. Brunel in September last, as explaining accurately the objects and intentions of that agreement." " 18, Duke-street, Westminster, Sept. 16, 1850. " My dear Sir,—l stated to the South Wales Board on Friday last, that I had for the interest, as I be lieved, of the South Wales Railway Company, as well as that of the Great Western Railway Company, requested the Great Western board to defer for an other week any answer to the application of the South Wales Railway Company for the assent, without preju dice, of your board to the deviations and alterations of works which I had advised to be desirable. I did this in the hope (although I felt the absolute neces sity of a speedy determination of the question) of preventing a still wider breach, and hoping that in the meantime I might bring about some fresh nego tiation between two companies for the modification of the lease. I have accordingly suggested to the South Wales board a somewhat different principle of leasing from that which has hitherto been discussed, and which may possibly remove some of the difficul ties which appear to hare prevented your agreement, and I now submit the same plan for your consider ation. I need not repeat here the arguments by which I have repeatedly attempted to press upon you my view of the great importance to the Great Western Railway Company, as well as the South \Vales Railway Company, of an amicable adjustment of their differences, and a cessation of the present most in jurious state of affairs, alike ruinous, as I believe, to both parties. I am afraid that I have displayed great want of ability in placing these arguments and these views before you. I feel that I have been unable to induce you to attach anything like the weight to them that I believe they merit, but I believe that you are nevertheless desirous of effecting what you may consider a fair arrangement, and therefore, without wearying you with any further discu s si on on the subject, I will at once state my plan. "I have assumed that the recent proposals of the two companies, although differing in amount, admitted the same principle—namely, that the Great Wes tern Railway Company were prepared to give, and the South Wales of course desirous of receiving, the whole of the profits up to 100,0001. or 120,0001. per annum, that could be made by the Great Western Railway Company fairly working the line up to Swansea ; but that, on the one hand, the Great Western Railway Company were unwilling to saddle themselves with too large a fixed minimum annual charge, irrespective of profits, while, on the other hand, the South Wales Railway Company looked upon the surplus profits as, to say the least, a very doubtful contingency, and, therefore, calculated their receipts as likely to be only those of the fixed mini mum rental ; and there is no doubt that they were very much justified in this view, as, if the Great Western Railway Company had no interest whatever in increasing their surplus profits, they could not be expected to make any sacrifice to increase them ; and without the usual exertions, involving speculations and occasional sacrifices, these profits would be less than doubtful. Under these circumstances, I confess I was almost surprised at the comparatively near ap proximation of the two in the late attempts to fix the amount of guaranteed or minimum rentals; but this approximation convinces me that both parties are really desirous to effect the arrangement, and that some inherent defect in the principle on which you proceeded alone prevented a satisfactory conclusion. " The plan I have to propose removes, to a great extent, the main objection—namely the absence of a common interest in the increase of the amount of profits. "I would substitute for the vague and undefined and disputable term, surplus profit,' a fixed and de fined rateable payment, compounded of such a tollage upon passengers and goods and minerals respectively, and such a per-centage of gross receipts on each of these branches of traffic, as should together represent fairly and safely the probable profits on any given amount of trade. I am quite aware of the extent of the difficulty which attends this adjustment, but I cannot see the impossibility of doing it. I think that a sufficiently near approximation may be arrived at of the probable rates to be charged to the public, and of the probable expense of working that traffic, and that by allotting a portion in the shape of a fixed toll or charge, payable to the South Wales, and a fixed allow ance payable to the Great Western Railway Company, to meet some of the less variable expenses, and di viding the rest into certain proportions between the two companies, a very near approach indeed may be made to a fair apportionment of the receipts, the clear profits going to the South Wales Railway Company, and the expenses with some margin to cover risks to the Great Western Railway Company. I would then commute or sell to the Great Western Railway Company a share, say a quarter, a third, or a halt, of these estimated pr o fit s f or a fixed rental, and this is the main feature of my plan ; the interest of the lessees would thus become identical with those of the lessors fully to the extent of this share over and above their interests as general shareholders in in creasing the gross profits of the line, and they would be also interested slightly to the whole extent, as I assume that the tolls and percentages would have some profit even upon the remainder, and that the South Wales Railway Company might calculate upon the line being advantageously worked, and upon re ceiving the whole, or nearly the whole, of the profits, while at the satne time the amount of fixed rental to which the Great Western Railway Company would become liable would be limited, and be more or less, according to the share purchased, but at all events considerably within what has been proposed on either side. " A power of revision by arbitration at certain periods might also be reserved, the principle upon which such revision is to be made being clearly de fined. "If I am correct in assuming that the principle is mutually agreed upon, that the Great Western Rail way Company is to work the line to the best of their ability for the benefit of the property as if it were their own—that they are to repay themselves com pletely for the cost of doing so—and the profits up to a certain amount are to belong to the South Wales Railway Company ; and if after settling this the Great Western Railway Company are willing to pur chase a certain share of these profits for a fixed sum, in which there could not be much risk, I do not be lieve that there would be any difficulty in fixing a rate of tolls and per-centages in the manner I have suggested that should carry out that principle. At all events the plan has the advantage, and no mean According to geographers the distance from Siiuthampton to Alexandria is exactly (qua! to the distance fr.,ro Alexandria to Southampton, and the distance from Suez to Calcutta exactly equal to the distance from Calcutta to. Suez. But were we to rely upon the rates charged by tl.'e Peninsular and Oriental Company upon their passengers, we might hesitate before assenting to this apparently self-evident propo sition. A passenger from Southampton to Alexan dria is charged 40/. ; a passenger from Southampton to Calcutta, 1151. But a passenger from Calcutta to Suez is charged 1021., and a passenger from Calcutta to Southampton 1151., leaving only 131. instead of 401. for the passage through the Mediterranean and across the Bay of Biscay. On a former occasion we ventured to attribute this anomaly to a desire on the part of the company to compel all its Indian passengers to " book through" to England; instead of leaving it in their option to proceed from Alexandria either by the Mediterranean and the Bay of Biscay, or overland by Trieste. And a " Lover of Fair. play" expressed surprise that we could for a moment be so absurd as to imagine that the company would leave them any option on the matter. ow, we will not take upon us to say that the com pany can be expected to be so disinterested as to carry passengers to Suez, and leave it optional to them to proceed onward from Alexandria either in the com pany's vessels, or in the vessels of any other parties as may suit their convenience or caprice. But we do say that if the company refuse to do this, it is desira ble that some other means of transit than their vessels should be kept available for Indian travellers who do not wish to bind themselves to use the company's steamers on this side of Alexandria. And this is the reason why we attribute so much importance to the keeping of the Bombay and Suez line out of the hands of the Peninsular and Oriental Company. At present travellers from India, who wish to remain a short time in Egypt, and then proceed onwards by any steamer that offers, or who wish to proceed from Alexandria by the Trieste route, may reach Suez without paying almost the whole of the passage to Southampton, by embarking at Bom bay. But if the Peninsular and Oriental Company are to get possession of the Suez and Bombay line, as well as of the Suez and Calcutta line, this will no longer be possible. The alternative, therefore, does not lie, as some writers on the subject would have us believe, between kt , t ping the Sw z and Bombay line in the hands of the East Indian Government and transferring it to the Peninsular and Oriental Company. Even though the East Indian Government should be brought to acknowledge that the line could be better managed by private individuals than themselves, it would still be for the interest of the public that the Peninsular and Oriental Company should not be the parties to whom the management is entrusted. It will not do to say that no private individuals can be got to undertake the service except the Peninsular and Oriental Company. Government has never tried to learn whether or not other parties might be induced to undertake it. The cir cumstances under which Government have attempted. to transfer the Bombay and Suez line to the Peninsu lar and Oriental Company are as follows : In the beginning of the year the Admiralty in vited tenders for carrying the mails monthly to Sydney. Not a word was said in the adver tisement about carrying the mails between Suez and Bombay, and between Calcutta, Singapore, and Hong-Kong. Of course only such parties sent in tenders as were disposed to attempt the Austra lian service. But the Peninsular and Oriental Company, uninvited, tendered at the same time for the Australian, the Bombay and Suez, and the Calcutta and Hong-Kong services. Their tender etas sent in on the 224 of January last, and on the 9.18 t of February the Chancellor of the Ex chequer wrote to the chairman and deputy-chairman of the East India Compauy, urging that the tender should be accepted. Had the chairmen of the East India Company and his colleagues closed with the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, all overland passengers from India to England would have been compelled to " book through ' from India to England, or at least to pay within a trifle of us much for being carried to Suez as for being carried to England. This is what we seek to press upon the attention of the lingli,h and Indian publics, the necessity of not allowing both of the bi• monthly mail lines to fall into the same hands. It may be, that Government officera are not competent to work a passenger and mail line in a satisfactory manner, and that therefore the East Indian Government ought to transfer the Bombay and Suez line to private enterprise. But if this is to be done let it be done publicly : let the public have the benefit of competition for the service. Th e r e are a l rea d y several Mediterranean steam companies to whom it would be an object to undertake the conveyance of the Indian mail which is dispatched in the beginning of the month, though it would be none to undertake the conveyance of the mail from Singapore to Sydney, or to Aus tralia by qty other route. Even should the East India Company relinquish the m a il di s p a t c hed in the interest beginning of each month, it is for the public that an opportunity should be afforded of having it conveyed upon more advantageous terms than are offered by the Peninsular and Oriental ; it is for the public interest that one of the bi-monthly mails should be in the hands of parties willing to convey passengers from India to Suez, and then leave them free to proceed onward, from Alexandria by any route or conveyance they may choose.—Daily News. LOLA MONTES ENTERING A CONVENT. The great event of the religious world, and which has become the most favoured subject of religious gossip, is the approaching conversion of Lola Montes by the Abbe Deguerry. It appears that the worthy Abbe, in his zeal for the good of the Church, had called upon the fair Lola for aid in establishing the new Chapel of Augustin, and with the tact for which he is so remarkable had succeeded in engaging her attention upon religious subjects, and the conversation thus begun was found to be so interesting that the Abbe remained the whole afternoon, and far, indeed, iwo the middle of the night, by the side of the new convert, and never left her till her heart was soft ened, and she had owned, with bitter tears, that all the idols she had worshipped with such fervour in this life had brought her nought but disappoint ment and despair. Before he departed the Abbii took from his neck the cross and scapulary he wore, and the little reliquary containing a thorn from our Saviour's crown, and placed it round the neck of the repentant Magdalen, and bade her pass the night in prayer for help in the great work she had began. The next day he returned again— and the next—and the next—until he now seldom leaves the house but for the accom plishment of his religious duties ; and they say he is determined to have attained his great design of claiming her as his own before the festivals of Christmas. Such is the tale of Lola's occupations as given by the religious world, and one which meets with many believers among those who know the his tory of all the bitterness and disappointment, the persecutions and injustice to which, even amidst her grandeur, she has been subjected. Others, again, tell of more worldly motives for this mystery and se clusion ; and this very week another of those tales to which her:-ojourn in every city in Europe has given rise has been afloat in Paris, a tale of strife and struggling, of violence and fighting in her presence between two Englishmen—accompanied on her part by terror and hysterics, and the memory of the fate of Dajarrier, the one great sorrow of her life. No wonder that it may be deemed possible that this tormented, troubled soul, might be induced to seek repose within the bosom of the Church ; no wonder that the story of her approaching retirement to the convent of Challiot may have found both supporters and believers here! —Paris Correspondent of the Atlas. More than 3,000 Roman silver medals have just been discovered by a poor vine grower in the neighbourhood of Nimes, in a field belonging to him. They were enclosed in an earthen urn. Another small urn was near it, contain ing 162 medals of pure gold. The latter, which weighed 867 grammes, were sold to the town of Nimes, and to some ama teurs, at the rate of 115 fr. per ounce. They consist of 2of Julius Caesar, 14 of Trajau, 26 Vespasia.n, 5 Nero, 17 Anto ninus, 16 Doinitian, 11 Adrian, 3 Co mmodus, 5 Lucius Verus, 10 Faustinus, 1 Faustina, 2 Septic us Seven's, 1 Plo tinus, 1 Lucilla (the wife of Antoninus), 1 Nerve, 1 Sabinus, 1 Didius-Julianus, 1 Pertinax, and 2 oi' Aurelian.
