This very important line, now in course of construction, will unite the Eastern end of Lake Ontario at Rackets Har bor, with the Hudson River at the head of tide water at Albany and Troy ; thus uniting in a direct line the great chain of lakes, or inland seas, with the Atlantic Ocean, at New York. The section of country traversed by this line is the north-eastern portion of the great state of New York, and although now covered by a primitive forest of heavy growth, which is rich in almost every variety of wood and timber, and filled with mineral prod , ctiotes, it is agricu'turally as well adapted to grazing and general farming pur oses as any other section of the state. The country is filled with lakes, giving rise to most of the large rivers in the state. The whole section has remained in its normal condition un til the present time, owing mainly to the course of settle ments, emigration, and traffic. induced by the opening of the Erie Canal, and the many lines of railroad leading to the great West. LENGTH OF THE LINE. The length of the line, with its branch to the iron mines of the Adirondak, will be about 200 miles. Contracts have been entered Wt 4 for its construction, including the rolling stock, rights of way, and stations, the whsle amount not exceeding 8.0001. per mile, which is less than the average coast of rail roads in the United States, and not one-half the cost of the New York Central and Erie roads, each. The gro-s amount of the cost will be about 1,200,0001., which includes 100,0001. of rolling stock. The line will have but one summit, with level or descending grade eastward to the Hudson River, and westward to Lake Ontario, the summit being about 1,700 feet above the termini, at 100 miles distance, the heaviest gra dient being less than 5J feet to the mile, and these occurring for three miles only, and with the slope in the direction of the heaviest traffic. 200,0001. has already been expended towards the construction of the line, and it is expected that the east ern division of 30 miles will be completed by the let of Octo ber next, and the whole line in eighteen months. CONNECTIONS. The line, and its proposed branches, will not only unite the great Western Lakes—whose tonnage, traffic, and commerce is larger in amount that the foreign commerce of New York —with the seaboard, by a direct and advantageous route, but will also bring the city of Montreal, and the Grand Trunk Railway in Canada, into easy communication with New York, thus materially shortening the distance over the line at pre sent in use. LANDS POSSESSED BY THE COMPANY. The Company possess upwards of 500,!00 acres of land, lying adjacent to their line, and granted to the Company by the State of New York, and the individual owners of land along the line. These lands are exclusively forest, and are filled with timber suited to shipping and mercantile purposes, and wood of a description universally used for locomotive fuel in the United States. For all of the varied products of this forest an extensive and unsupplied demand exists at each terminus of the line. The whole of this tract will be brought within eight hours of the city of New York by the completion of this railway. EXTENT AND VALUE OF THE LANDED ESTATE. The extent and value of the lands possessed by this Com pany, may be jvidged from the following extracts from a 1 to report of A. F. E 'wards. Esq., the chief engineer, corrobo rated in all respects by John B. Mills, Esq , the consulting engineer and land agent of the Company. Speaking of these lands, they say:—" They are known to be covered with an exeraordinary growth of timber, and on this account are worth much more than lands fit only for ag ricultural purposes. Let us ro where we will in the State, we find the lands which remain covered with wood and tim ber altogether the most valuable, and bringing high and in creasing prices." There a , e, of 1. Good pine timber lands 50,000 acres. 2. Lands containing cherry, cedar, curled maple, tamarack, oak, elm, birch and ash, all valuable for manufacturing and special uses, and some of which aro mine ral lands. 3. Good spruce timber lands 4. Good hemlock timber lands, valuable for plank boards and bark lOO,OOO „ 5. LandS valuable, because connected with water-power, and for town lots lO,OOO „ 6. Lands valuable for cord wood, and for ag ricultural purposes Total 500,000 acres. the item classed as cord wood, represents wood for fuel, each cord being 128 cubic feet, 2 fee , long, 4 ft. wide, 4 ft. higla. The pine timber is of the best quality. There having been no access 'o it by canals or railroad-, it has not been culled or destroyed. It is, on the av rage of distance, 2''O miles nearer to tide water than the pine timber on the Erie Rail road, at the heads of the Genesee and Allegheny Rivers, where the best kind of timber is worth 1/. sterling per thou sand feet, board measure, standing in the tree. It is ac f nowledged by many wlio hive examined this coun try, that the entire forest will average from sixty to one hun dred cords per acre, or will produce twenty thousand feet, boa' d measure, of sawed stuff, of the various kinds, with r 0 cords of merchantable wood, and 3 cords of hemlock bark Used for tanning leather. The Company have, in addition to the 500,000 acres granted to them, the op* ion of purchasing upwards of 250.000 acres, and which it is evidently the interest of the Company to poss.s , ; this includes 4 sths of the justly celebrated Adirondack Iron Estate of 100,000 acres, of which the Company now own 1-sth. Professor Emmons, the geologist of the state of New York, in his report to he state, states that more than six millions of tons of magnetic rock ore of 80 per cent, richness, lies with in two feet of the surface, and m st of which may be removed without blasting, while there exists in immediate pr , ximity abundance of water power, and unlimited facilities for the economical manufacture of charcoal iron. By an act of the Legislature of the State of New York, at their last session, the who'e estate of this Company is exempt from taxation until 1879, TRAFFIC. The 'general traffic which must flow over this line is ex tremely rarge, and leaves no doubt of the remunerative character of the undertaking. The directors estimate that their annual earnings from way or local traffic, with the road completed, will amount to upwards of 700,0001. sterling, the outlay for which will not exceed 45 per cent. A careful examination as to the immense supply of freight existing at the summit of the road, the short distance from market, the extensive and unsupplied demand for every item of this freight at the eastern termini of the roads at Albany and Troy, and at Lake Ontario West, for Western demand ; the facts of the gradients, level or descending, in favour of the preponderating traffic, the nominal cost of fuel, usually one-fifth of the expense of maintaining a railway line, will, when considered, fully justify the estimates of earnings, and will prove most conclusively the capability of the road to move at highly profitable rates the teeming prodxcts of the forest.

The Company have alrea'y allotted 51,000 shares of their share capital, equal to 1,020,0001_ upon which 10 per cent., or 2L per share has been paid ; and the directors, by their charter, being emplwered to raise capital by the issue of de benture bonds, have created bonds to the amount of 800,0001. of which they have mcently sold entirely among the share holders 200,0001.

Sd. each. The general features and characteristics of this Company are the same as those of the Illinois Central Railroad Com pany, whose securities are deservedly popular in Europe and America solely on account of the fact of their land basis. This Company possess in fee simile about the same number of acres, relatively for each mile of road or railway, as the Illinois Central Railroad C , rmpany, all of which is situated in the state ,rf New York, and is now covered with a primitive forest adjacent to the largest markets for lumber and timber in the whole country. The quantity now actually, existing upon the 500,000 acres belonging to the Co,. pany, is 4 5,000,000 of tons gross, of surface products the value of which, with the lands, when cleared, calling theta 31. per acre, would be 6,500,1001., estimating the forest product upon the basis of cordwood, which is that of least value. It will therefore be seen, that upon completion of the road, and after discharging the debenture debt, the three shaA•i• may be considered as prospectively of at least too value of each debenture bond, at a cost of 21. per share. _Applications to be made to the brokers, iir;g11111 and Rew. 5 . 1 41 Tisitadneldleltrot, Ludo.

OYAL SURREY GARDENS.- The GUIDES' BAND by gracious permi,sion of his Vajesty Leopold th' First, King of the Belg.ans. To comm nce THIS EVENING, July 2, 1857, and CONTINUE THREE WEEKS. PROSPECTUS. M. JULLTEN hag great satisfaction in announcing that, after having endeavoured for the fast four years to introduce the cele brated Mush:pie MilLaire des '.aides du Rol des Beiges to the Engli pane, he has this year succeeded in obtaining his Majesty's grab cicus permission. His Majesty has graciously allowed this magnifi cent corps de musinue to proceed to London for a very limited itigheess the Princess, nerd d, prior to the marri •ge of her Roy al Charlotte with his Imperial Highness the Archduke Maximilian Of Austria. It is unnecessary for M. Jullien to inform those of his patrons who have travelled on the Continent of the Immense and deserved repu tation of this splendid military orchestra, which is considered one of the most perfect in Europe. For the public in general, the following remarks maynot be considered superfluous The Band of the Guides was incorporated in 1831, upon the acces sion of his Majesty King Leopold ; and that of the Guides Imperiaux of France was framed on its model, in 1852, by his Imperial Majesty Napoleon the Third. Most of the artists comprised in this Band are pupils of the Con servatoire of Brussels, under the direction of the celebrated M. Fetis. Tts perfection of ensemble and the individual talent of its members have been so universally acknowledged, that for the last twenty years it has be• n regarded as a nursery whence the orchestras of the principal musical institutions in Europe have drawn their best per formera on wind instruments. Among those artists formerly en gaged in it, and who have obtained the greatest success in al, Jul lien's Orchestra, may he cited the celebrated flutist Reichert, the emi nent clarionists Wiiillie and Lafosse ; the trumpet, Duheme ; the French horns, Simar and Stennenbrugen ; and many others of European renown. In tact, M. Jullien, who has heard nearly all the principal hands of the different courts of Europe, can assert, without fear of contruliction, that there are but two which can fairly com pete with the Guides of Brussels, viz., the Banda of the Imperial Marines of Trieste, and the Guides Imperiaux of Paris. The Band is composed of upwards of fifty artists, under the per sonal direction of their renowned conductor, M. Bender. Their engagement at the Royal Surrey Gardens will commence on Wed nesday, the Ist of July when M. Jullien returns from the provinces. M. Jullien will he absent durin e the short time they remain in T.ondon, but he ear , estly invites his patrons, the nobility, the public, the press, and . articularly the military authorities, to avail them selves of an opportunity which may never occur again. The expe rience of ;he Allied armif s during the late war indisputably proved that a peo^er organisation of military bands is a matter of more im portance than some persons were disposed to think. How often was the spirit of the troops roused and elevated by the inspiring strains of martial music, or depressed for want of such a stimulus. The influence of music in education, civilisation, and even in politics, is not s..fticlently appreciated. M. Jullien has passed his life in studYinst its effect upon the people. After the continental revolution , of 1848, he witnessed, every evening, ..nd for a consi derable period, how great was the influence of that magnificent and immortal hymn, " God save the Queen," in consolidating and nee renting the affection and respect of the English na tion for their beloved Sovereign. On the other hand, he saw, amidst the unfortunate events in his own country, the enormous power exercised over the masses by the terrible effects of the Mar seillaise. But the present occasion will not admit of further dissertation on the influence of the divine art over nations and their rulers. M. Jullien hopes and desires that some more able pen will take up a qu^stion of such public importance. Meanwhile he confidently trusts that all those who feel an interest in the subject will, on hear ing the Guides' Band. aeree with him that some imnrovements may be introduced in this country with regard to military mnsic. M. Jullien attempted a step towards progress in that direction, by establishing, 14 years ago. and for the first time in EnglanA, a mili tary journal, containing many of the hest compositions of Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn, and other great masters. It has, since been received monthly by all the military bands in the service of her lilaiesty. and In that of the Honourable Fast Tndia Company. Aided by the late improvements in musical instruments, it has been one of the means in effecting that visible change for the better which has already taken place. The engagement of the renowned Band of the Guides is a furt'er step in the same direction. and M. Jullien fully expects that It will be so appreciated ; as he has, personally, no other interest in the matter than the continual progress of the art. He therefore hopes that all those who desire the advancement of music in all its branches will testify their approval of his conduct by supporting with their influence, and honouring with their presence, the per ormance of the Guides' Band at the Royal Surrey Gardens. „. ~--- G:7 "r THE PERSI A; ativ ß e : 1 l ~,, i nl Y :: aa ll : : .::: : , . .. . , , , 411111111 - khii , ) • .... /,2 , (raw THE TIM ES CORR e N I 2 .. t, , %` t3 ;,- , ,_ , j ,", :. ______,: : - „ ,- (4 t , • ~.\ , 1 " 4 0 ',L 'A .

STAMPED 5P s] Outram and his Staff rema man, horse, and mule had been safely put on board. I do not know how these matters are generally managed, but it appears to me that in this instance the embarkation of about 5,000 men, 800 horses, 700 mules, besides camp followers, camp equipages, and materiel, has been effected with surprising de spatch. No preparations to that end were begun before the 9th inst., when Sir James returned from Bushire, and on the 17th scarcelya vestige remained of our occupation. Much credit is due to Com mander Rennie, Acting Commodore of the ludian Navy, whose unwearied personal exertions are be yond all praise. I understand he is to be recom mended for a C. B. and a Victoria Cross, an I cer tainlys if any m an d eserves suc h di st i nc ti ons h e d oes , as well for his v a l ua bl e serv i ces genera ll y through out the expedition as for his indomitable bravery in having constructed and planted the mortar-b :dory under the Persian forts the night before the attack upon Mohammerah. The admirable corresponding arrangements on shore are all due, under Sir James, to Brigadier- General Lugard, Chief of the Staff, and it is to be hoped that his valuable services will not go unre warded. I presume it is not generally known, but we all of the force know it right well, that all the credit for the admirable military dispositions taken at Kooshab after Sir James had been disabled was due to him, and no one felt this more, or would more readily have acknowledged it, than the late General Stalker, second in command on that occa sion. Indeed, not only at li - ooshab, but through out this campaign, General Lugard's management of all the details of his office has called forth the admiration as well of the general cemmandoig as of the staff and regimental officers generally. By bis courteous demeanour he has won the esteem and regard of all, and his coolness and decision on the battle-field prove that be possesses in a high degree the qualifications of a brave soldier and an accomplished commander. We trust, indeed, that no feeling of jealousy will restrain the Court of Directors from urging his claims to honorary dis tinction most warmly. Such unworthy feelings would be singular in the history of the Persian expedition, for it is acknowledged by all that una nimity between the two services has been most per- • fect throughout this campaign. It could hardly be otherwise with a chief like Sir James Outram, and a chief of the staff like Brigadier Lugard. Our occupation of Mohammerah has lasted for six weeks, and during that time we have been ou the best terms with the resident and surrounnding Arabs. Not one complaint has been made against our soldiers or Sepo3s, and the nativee were ex tremely sorry at our departure. The town was made over on the 15th to Ali Khan, Sheikh Jaber's nephew, who brought with him a garrison of 120 musketeers to maintain order there and in the sur rounding districts. The arrangement made is that the Arabs (Persian subjects nominally) are to hold the place, and to carry on the civil administration conjointly with any agents the Persians may choose to depute for that purpose ; but no Persian troops are to approach the town until the terms of the treaty are fulfilled. In the meantime our continued occupation will be maintained by two sloops of war, the Clive and the Falkland, which will be anchored, one in the Karoon, and the other in the Shatt-00l Arab. THE BENGAL MUTINY. (Extracts from the Letter of an Officer to his Friends in England.) CALCUTTA, SATURDAY, May 16. To conceal the condition of India any longer i.s now impossible. The disaffection that has existed so long amongst our Sepoys from one end of our Eastern possessions to the other has at length dis played itself in all its meaning. You, doubtless are already aware of what has taken place at Barrack pore, a station 15 miles distant from Calcutta. One regiment, the 19th Native Infantry, about 900 strong, has been disbanded, and seven companies of the 34th Native Infantry, about 700 men, have shared the same fate, making in a 111,600 men, who with their wives and families have been turned adrift to plunder and murder ; for the men are not fit for labour of any kind, and their families and selves must be fed. This, fur a time, quieted Barrackpore, as the disgraced men were passed over the river and the banks guarded by European sentries to prevent their return. Other disturbances however, in the north west were soon reported, an , l yesterday morning, by electric telegraph, the Government received news of alarming outbreaks, with great loss of life, about Meerut and Delhi. That which has been slumbering since the time of Sir C. Napier has broken out in full vigour, and ere another mail reaches England it is not impos sible that the European population of India, from Calcutta upwards, may be considerably diminished. This is an astounding assertion ; nevertheless it is no exaggeration. The government suppresses every kind of information it receives that is likely to cre ate alarm, and even, it is said, pays heavily to our daily papers to do the same. It is consequently difficult to arrive at the truth, or even a knowledge of what is going on. Shortly after the Barrackpore affair, the 3d Ca valry at Meerut showed symptoms of disaffection ; about 80 men were tried by court-martial, sen tenced to a long term of imprisonment and hard labour. The sentence was read on the parade ground in presence of the regiments stationed at Meerut, and the men were ironed immediately after, and marched off to prison. During the process the native troops appeared sulky and restless, but not a word was said. About midnight of the following day, however, their feelings being worked up to boiling point, the whole of the Sepoys and Sowers stationed at Meerut left their lines and proceeded straight to Delhi. These consisted of the 11th, 15th, 20th, and 74th Native Infantry, and the remaining troops of the 3d Cavalry. On reaching Delhi they were joined by the 38th and 54th Native Infantry and the Native Artillery at that station. Here the most atrocious acts were committed. Headed by the 38th, they attacked every house containing an European, and killed every man and violated and killed every woman, including Mr. S. Fraser, the Commissioner, Rev. —. Jennings and daughter ; the death and sufferings of the latter are said to have been such as no pen can describe or heart conceive. Dr. Balfour and Captain Douglass, commanding the Palace Guards, were killed ; and every officer of the 38th and 54th present with his corps, and visitors and residents in the place, shared the same fate, except the following :—Majur and Mrs. Abbott, Captain and Mrs. Wallace, Cap tain and Mrs. De Teisser, Mr. and Mrs. Hutchin son, the insurgents then proceeded to the Delhi Bank, " looted " that and retained possession of the building ; also the Treasury, which was well supplied. Lient. Willoughby, in charge of the magazine, seeing all this, at once blew it up, and we feaa has perished by his own bands. Had this magazine fallen into the hands of the insurgents, there is no calculating the mischief they might have effected. The devotion of Lieutenant Willoughby is 13- , yond praise. God grant we may hear he is still alive. At present he is missing. The insurgents now hold Delhi. The Comman der-in-Chief is said to be on his way from the hills with three European corps and a Goorka regiment. Lf , rd. Canning is frantic, and a general panic per vades India. The steamer Alma, which ought to have left to-morrow morning with the mail, is posponed with the hope that better news may arrive on n,nclay. The Probability is news more ,alarming will reach us.. Other regiments may have risen, and other massacres be reported. To protect the capital (Calcutta) General Hearsey has been in communication with the Governor-General(General Low is utterly useless), and a plan has been de vised which will be carried into effect to-day or to-morrow ; it is, I hear, to concentrate our troops in Calcutta as far as possible. The above are facts, and I have every reason to say may be relied on with confidence. We only fear for our wives and daughters ; if they were safe our work would be The good understanding which has been kept up throughout with the Perso Arab tribes,—their neu trality during the late contest—and the readiness with which they have furnished our force with supplies, are mainly due to the tact and exertions of Captain Kemball, Political Resident at Bagdad, aided and supported by the Rev. Mr. Badgcr, Sir J,s; Outrain's Arabic Interpreter. On these two gentlemen, without the co-operation of any native agency whatever, devolved the task of correspond ing with the chiefs, receiving their visits, settling their intestine quarrels, making arrangements for supplies, and governing them during our occupation of the country. In addition to this, owing to the dearth of interpreters . , every de partment, from the Commissariat downwards, was obliged to refer to them, and the work which thus devolved on Captain Kemball was immense. Cap tain Kemball was present at the attack upon Mo hammer* and accompanied the expedition to Ahwaz, where his service proved most val 'able, and in any distribution of rewards his name should stand among the first. It is much ta be regretted that the Court of Directors do not hold out greater facilities to the officers of their service to study Arabic. There was abundant work during the late short campaign for at least 15 duly qualified interpreters, w Itereas there was only one in the whole force who could act in that capacity. No little inconvenience and great difficulties and delays were consequently ex perienced, especially by the Land Transport and Commissariat Department, whose agents, scattered over the country, where Arabic is the only language sent wes we withre somewhat w b h e o t e te o r u ld spoken, were comparatively helpless. In Persian off';i d b u i tte a e p v r e o n r e i r a th i respect, Per sian letter without the aid of a native mooushee. This state of things, especially during a war, when it is frequently of the greatest moment to keep col• respondence secret, is much to be deprecated ; and it is accordingly to be hoped that steps will be taken to secure higher qualifications in our officers who pass in Persian, and who should be entirely independent of all native co-operation. Sir James Outram starts to-day in the Planet.for Bagdad, in order, as we understand, to confer with the Hon. Mr. Murray respecting a commission to be despatched to Herat to see that the conditions of the treaty with regard to the evacuation of that place by the Persian troops are effectually carried out. I =happy to state that the General appears in excellent health and spirits, and continues to enjoy the devotion and love of the troops under his command. Never was a chief more beloved by all ranks, and had the war been protracted they would have sienalized their attachment by many a bold and dashing affair. As it is, they have behaved bravely and nobly, and deserve the highest praise which the country can confer upon them. What the Queen or the home authorities may do to evince their appreciation of Sir James Outram's merits remains to be ,een ; but if perfect success h as an y claim to national distinction, that distinction, 1 trust, will not be withheld from one whose rapid movements and their attendant victories were mainly instrumental in obtaining the immediate a 3Ce p t ance of the treaty, and thereby putting an end to the Persian war. Such news as this coming suddenly upon you, it will naturally be asked, " Bat how has all ,this hap pened ?" It is eaodly answered, such feelings as at present possess our native army have for, the last three or four years been gradually but steadily en gendered, and what was regarded as the unex ampled ministry of my Lord Dalhousie is now be coming exposed. It is too long a story, to show bow his lordship is to blame for all this ;, suffice it at present to remark that Lord Dalhousie was as sure of what was about to happen as I am that it has occurred. The whole burthen of his mal-ad ministration Lord Canning has had to bear, who to a certain extent has been made a tool of by his predecessor. Of course everybody here blames Lord Canning for his apathy and want of decision at the first outbreak at Barrackpore ; but I do not think be deserves so much censure as is heaped upon him, for this reason, that he bas, been en tirely in the hands of his staff, and to them he has listened on all matters connected with the native army. When Lord Dalhousie left India he intro duced his aide-de-camp—one Captain Bowie of the Bengal Artiller%—to his successor, as a person who thoroughly understood the native character, and more particularly the Sepoy as to his habits and peculiarities, and stated in all such matters he (Cap tain Bowie) might be referred to with great confi dence. LorJ Canning in consequence dubbed him his aide-de-camp, and to this officer's counsels it is that so much mischief is to be attributed. It is certain that no military appointment has taken place here without his being consulted. Now what Lord Dalhousie could see in Captain, now Brevet- Major Bowie, no one can conceive. But Lord Can ning must and will be recalled, and his staff scat tered, before. all goes well ? and General Anson must accompany him in his homeward passage. All we want is an independent, active man as Go vernor-General, and an energetic Commander-in- Chief—a Governor General who will keep his establishment at arm's length and introduce into India as secretaries men of known ability. I am no alarmist, but I am not blind ; the many years I have spent in India, the observations 1 have had numerous opportunities of making from from one end of India (Bengal Presidency) to the other, tells me British India will cease to be unless speedy and energetic measures are resorted to, un less some noble-hearted, honest-minded, and inde pendent nobleman is sent to our relief. The power of the Governor-General is absolute ; he can make or mar the prospects of hundreds and it is worse than criminal to leave us at the mercy of ignorant and puffed-up secretaries and aides-de-camp. SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 16. Since writing the above a Government notifica tion has been issued confirming almost everything herein detailed. BAGDAD, MAY 25. Sir James Outram and part of bis Staff arrived here in the Planet the day before yesterday, and landed at the Residency under the salute due to his rank, which was immediately returned by the garrison. The highest Turkish military authority, Khairi Pasha, met him as he disembarked, charged with the respects and congratulations of the Go verner, Resheed Pasha, and to-day Sir James pays his visit of ceremony at the Serai. Immense crowds of people thronged the banks of the river to see the renowned English General. The Hon. Mr. Murray and his suite are still here, waiting the arrival of the Persian official charged with the apologies stipulat ed for, and com 'and is expected missioned to accompany his Excellency to Teheran.

The treaty had reached him the day previous, an d h e l os t no t i me in a ffi x i n g his signature to it, giving special direc tions himself for its immediate despatch to Bagdad. Had the terms b,en tenfold more stringent, there is little doubt but that his Majesty would have ac cepted them with ou t scruple, despite the opposing influence of certain p ar ti es a t T e h eran . H oweve r, 1 7insisting upon so little beyond the independence of Herat and Affghanistan, the Home Ministry have displayed their wisdom and prudence ; for, if we are sincere in our expressed desire to uphold Persia, and to strengthen it as an independent monarchy, which is undoubtedly our best policy), it is obvious that the less we humble her the bettor for our future relations with that country. This war over, it is to be hoped that the time is far distant before we shall be called. upon to treat Persia as an enemy. As you observed in one of your late articles, much will depend upon the tact and bearing of the Minister who shall represent Great Britain at the Court of the Shah for the next few years whether we attach Persia to us or throw her into the arms of Russia. Do the antecedents of the Hon. Mr. Murray at Teheran hold out any reason able hope that he is the man to . cement a real and cordial friendship between Persia and England ? I think not ; neither, as far . as am aware, have we • many men available for so important and delicate an appointment. Could the Foreign -office lay aside for once the impression that such positions can only be ! held suitably by members of the aristocracy, they could not do better than promote Captain Kemball from Bagdad to Teheran. I would gladlystake a for tune, were su c h a t m y di sposa l, u p on the result, feeling perfectly convinced that his character would L carry such weight, and his calm, temperate, delibe rate, and conciliatory deportment win such general attachment, that British influence would soon pre ' doroinAte in the councils of the Shah. MONDAY EVENING, MAY 18. As expected the telegraph is in, and the news for which the mails have been detained has reached us. Nothing, that I can learn, from Delhi. From Meerut we have the following : On the evening of the 10th the troops rose, as . it were, en masse. The 11th, 15th, and 20th..

Dr. Christie, of the 3rd Cavalry, mortally wounded. Mrs. Courtney, hotel-keeper, and all her chil dren, with several ladies and women killed. How these poors souls died no one knows. It appears the men of the 3rd Cavalry that were confined in gaol were liberated by the insurgents, by whom the greater part of Meerut has been consumed by fire. Many Europeans have been destroyed, whose names have yet to be published. The excitement here is fearful in the extreme. The Governor-Gene ral is, of course, most unpopular, but more so his advisers—his staff. As I before remarked, nothing but a thorough change will do now ; the old Dal housie clique must be expunged ere tranquillity can be restored to India. It is now midnight, and the mail leaves early to-morrow morning. LIEUT. WILLOUGHBY. —Lieut. Austin, o f the 60th Queen's Rifles, writes from Meerut to his s ister, and dates that Lieut.

PERPETUAL INVESTMENT LAND AND BUILDING SOCIETY. .The annual meeting of this society waa held last even• ing at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars. John Gover, Esq., Chairman of the Society, was called to the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. J. E. Tresidder) read the report, from which it appeared that the cash received, including instalments of loans, and other sources of income, not in shares or deposit accounts, was as follows : First and second years Third and fourth years Fifth and sixth years 216,497 9 8 Total . . £405 ; 07417 8 The shares issued during the past, year were 2,361. The sum of 42,4231. 11s. 6d. had been received on investment shares, of which amount 26.0751. 13s. 6d. were for shares paid in full. The sum of 24,320/. 19s. lid. had been repaid to shareholders, with compound interest thereon at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum ; m all ca4es immediate payment had been offered, which enabled many to obtain greater advantages from their investments than they could have done if the required term of notice had been adhered to. The subscription shares bad been credited witb the amount of interest due thereon up to the 30th April last, and any shareholder would be supplied with a copy of his account on application at the office. The interest on realised shares and deposits was paid on the 30th April, the total amount of interest paid during the year being 5,4401. 13s. 11d., or 1,448/. 14s. 6d. more than in the previous year. The total receipts on share accounts during the whole period of six years was 180,3631. 13s. 5d., and the repayments 73,0101. 2s. 11d. From the ascertained surplus profits of the society the directors had been enabled to pay off a tenth portion of the preliminary expenses ; also to appropriate ten per cent. of the profits to the reserve fund, and to add to the subscription shares a bonus equal to one and a half per cent. interest on shares that had been in existence twelve months or more. The amount received ;n the deposit department during the past year was 26,8071 16e. 10d., being 6,8221. 7s. id. more than in the present year. The receipts during the six years had been 108,8561. 16s. 7d., and the payments 81,598/. 4s. The issue of deposit books bad been found to work satisfactorily, and the directors bad arranged to examine the depositors' books with, the ledger accounts during the first week in Novem ber in each year. Arrangements had been made by which any sum could be deposited at 4 per cent., and every facility afforded for the prompt withdrawal of such sums. The sum of 46,4381. had been advanced upon the mortgage of freehold, oopytuld, and leasehold secu rity during the past year. The amounts advanced on mortgage had been, during the first and second years, 25,748/. 7e. Bd. ; the third and fourth years, 68,0741. 3s. ; fifth and sixth years, 95,8031, 15s. 4d. ; total, 190,6261. 6s. id, The sum of 1,9791. 19s. had been ad vaneed to shareholders during the year upon the deposit of their share certificates with a promissory note, interest being charged at two per cent above the amount allowed upon the shares ; and the business transacted by the town and country agents had seen greater during the past than in previous years. The cash statement for the year ending April 30, 1857, showed that the receipts (including a balance in baud of 881/. 17s. 7d.) amounted to 124,9421. lls. Bd., and the expenditure to 123,131/. 14s. 10d., leaving a balance of 1,8101. 17s. Bd. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the adoption of the re port, said that at the period when this company was established there was no means of investing money which fully answered the want either of the middle or of the poorer classes. The want which existed was supplied by the establishment of building societies. He did not say that other societies of this nature did not afford the same advantage as this; but he did say tbat this possessed ad vantages which did not exist in societies of any other kind. Congratulating the shareholders on the favour able prospects of the society, and the satisfactory state of its affairs—as shown by the report—he went on to ob serve that it was not desirable to extend its business be yond a legitimate extent, but rather they should take care to keep within the limits of safety. Such had been and would be the policy of the direction. He also ob- served that it was very desirable that the shareholders should take an interest in the affairs of the society. They should not say—" Oh, it is all going on very well—it can go alone," but should inquire into its affairs. They might also forward the interests of the society by recoil'. • mending it amongst their friends, for every member might be a walking advertisement, cheaper and more effectual than advertisements in the papers. Dr. FOSTER, in seconding the motion for the adoption of the report, said he did not agree with the chairman in his observations reepecing advertisements, for he must tell them that in his own case the value of advertising wa- shown, for it was in consequence of reading three or four of the advertisements of this society in the papers that he had joined it. The resolution was then put and agreed to, John THOMPSON, Esq.. moved, and the Rev. GEORGE GOGERLEY seconded, a resolution, expressive of . ther e a .. tisfaction of the shareholders of the society at its [e Lion ,and recommending the shareholders thron tin country to co-operate with the directors. extending the several departments of 13‘2:4ness i ._ an d a g g h e ° n u t s This resolution was also carried unamso"Bl` • The three retiring directors—Mess rs. wer e re-elßet;teci Millar, as was Daniel Pratt, and S.
