The Presse d'Orient of the 15th gives the folow ing account of a murder, which was recently com mitted at Constantinople :—" Sahli Effendi ' an officer in the Ottoman army, resided at Tchatal- Khan, and had in his service an Arab of Damascus who had been with him during the campaign in the Crimea, and in whom he placed confidence, although several friends had cautioned him that the man did not bear a good character. A few days ago the Arab called on Hussein Effendi, an intimate friend of Salib, and said that as his mas ter had received orders to leave immedi,tely, he would be glad to have a sum of 5,000 piastres which Hussein owed him. The lat er was rather astonished at the demand being made through the Arab, and told him that lie would go and pay his master in person. While proceeding to the place where the Arab said his waster would be found, he was surprised to meet the man leading a horse •on which Salih's effects were packed, and on, being interrogated, the ser vant said that ho was going to convey them to the house of a friend. This information increased the astonishment of Hussein, and he determined to watch the man, who finding that he was suspected unloaded the things before one of the houses he came to, and was about to take to flight, when Hussein laid hold of him, and gaVe him into the hands of the police. At the moment when the po lice took him the Arab exclaimed, ' I ought to have got rid of Hussein Effendi before I disposed of my master! This remark excited still greater suspicion, and the same day it was discovered that the body of a,murdered person - , out into pieces, had been discovered near the sea shore, and it turned out to be that of Salih Effendi. The Arab then con fessed the whole affair. He had, he said, as sassina' ed his master with the aid of an Armenian, and after cutting up the body with a razor, placed it in a sack which they confided to another man to throw into the sea, for:which service he demanded and received the sum of 6,000 piastres. On reaching ledi-Koulle, ho took the sack from the cart and carried it to the waters edge and was about to throw it in, when seeing two persons approach ing, he left it on the shore and made off. Hussein Effendi recognised the head as being not of his friend. The Armenian had since b3en arrested and the police are on the trace of the other man." The same journal contains the following :—" A daring act of piracy was committed three evenings ago. One of the six-oared caiqs, which ply between Coum-Capou and ledi Koulle left the former place with 14 male and female passengers, among whom was a young Armenian who had with him a sum of 40,000 piastres. When at some distance on her way she was boarded by another boat, a part of the crew of which, jumping on board the caiq, demanded that the Armenian should be given up to them. In the struggle which took place, the caiq was up set, and all the passengers thrown into the water. The pirates, however, seized hold of the Armenian, got him into their own boat, and rowed off, leaving the others to their fate. Only three of them were able to reach the shore, all the rest being drowned. Several of the pirates have been since arrested ; all are Turks, and they had divided the booty equally among them. The police lately captured 23 thieves who are suspected of being connected with the dif ferent robberies lately committed in the Turkish capital."

(Elear, bear.) When they arrived at this stage of the proceedings the directors thought it right to wind up all outstanding liabilities of the company, knowing that that could be done much more advantageously while the company was alive than at the last stage of its existence, when they would be pounced upon by any creditor and made to pay to the last farthing. As it was, they had . been enabled to compromise many of the claims, and he was bound to say that the compromises they had offered evidenced great liberality on the part of thegentlemen with whom they had been made. They had now no outstanding liabilities, or rather be should say that every remaining liability might be suet by something short of 1,0001. He wopld not d well on theidisturbing circa in- tances which had contributed so far to the failure of a project which at one time was so promising. The state of the money-market, the Russian war, and, in fact, almost every possible cir cumstance seemed to have intervened to prevent the success of the undertaking. The position, too, of the two great companies, the Great Western and the Great Northern, had had a depreciating affect on the prospects of the Metropolitan Railway. As dividends went down the directors of these companies were naturally averse from submitting to their shareholders proposals for spend. ing large sums of money in carrying out other under takings which, hewever valuable to them, were not likely to be regarded favourably at such a time. (Hear.) He regarded the lose of this. metropolitan line as a na tional one. Ho did not believe that another opportunity would occur of carrying it out upon equally favourable terms. He did not believe, if their powers of this pre sent Act were allowed to leseen, that they would ever again obtain a bill which would be accompanied with so small an amount of risk, or that they would be able to aeonte.eo }age enema of land as they Lad now at their disposal for a terminus in the heart of the city of Lon don. (Bear.) It was, therefore, with deep regret that he -had to announce the conclusion at which the board bad arrived. (Hear.) The resolution for the adoption of the report having been seconded, Mr. W. A. WILKINSON cenfessed he was surprised that even in these times there was not sufficient confi dence on the part of the public in a scheme which ap peared to him to be fraught with advantage to all patties concerned. (Hear, hear.) All railway companies had made mistakes, but what he would point out was that, if not the directors, at'all ()yeas the shareholders of the Great Western were deeply interested in the proceedings of this company, and that their present position was owing in a great measure to that want which the Metro politan Railway would have supplied. He then entered into an elaborate - statement with a view to show that it was not the new branches of the Great Western Company that bad reduced its dividend so low as 1 per cent., but the want of a city terminus such as the Metropolitan Reilway, if constructed, could afford them. A very long and animated discussion ensue-1, in which Mr. Jenes t Mr. C. Pearsin, Mr. AYrton, and other shareholders took part. The utility of the undertaking in developing the property of the Corporation of London and the traffic of the Great Western and Great Noithern Railway Companies was strongly urged ; but it was held that without the assistance and hearty co-operation of those bodies it would be a folly for the existing share holders to proceed with the undertaking. It was proposed by Mr. Pearson that the scheme should be divided into two undertakings, leaving to the Great Western, if they pleased, to make the extension from Paddington to King's-cross, there to join the City terminus line. The report and statement of accounts were adopted. Mr. W. A. Wilkinson and Dr. Challis were requested by the meeting to join the board, and on a show of hands were unanimously elemed directors of the com pany, with the understanding that they should be at liberty to retire from the b, aro whenever they pleased. On the motion of Mr. AYRTON, a resolution was passed authorising the directors to take the necessary steps for ranking application to Parliament in the next session for power to dissolve and wind up the company, unless in the meantime they should make arrangements for the disposal of the company's property. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors con cluded the meeting. PROPOSED GitEAT CENTRAL WEST END TI RitINGS. Every one knows the difficulties experienced in get ting to or from the West-end, whether by road or rail. These difficulties the proposed West-end Terminus about to be established;will do away entirely. It will purge and c' eanse the dirty parts of Pimlico, relieve the monstrous aggravation of traffic which for years has made London bridge a. nuisance, make the lonely neighbourhood of Victoria-street one of the most important sub-centres in the metropolis, and giva.such facilities -to metropolitan communication as have long been wished for, though until now without a prospect of being realised. The plan by which all this is to be effected is so simple, so inex pensive, and so thoroughly practicable is all its details, that the marvel is how it has escaped the vision of rail way projectors for so long a time. It is nothing more nor less than the formation of a short line from Bat tersea, running tlirough Brixton, Clapham, Dulwich, Camberwell, and the suburban districts on the Surrey side of the water and communicating with all the lines of railway going south. Pram Battersea it crosses the river on an iron bridge, to be built for the purpose, and at once enters the bed of the present Grosvenor canal, along the course of which it continues to the central ter minus to be erected on the cite of the Grosvenor basin — an immense area at the end of Victoria-street, West minster, within a stone's throw of Buckiugham Palace and Grosvenor-place, a quarter of a mile of the Houses of Parliam , .nt, and less than 1,000 yards from Charing- Cross. It is always rather dif f icult to describe intended build ing plans on a large scale, but such of our readers as are unable to appreciate the advantages of the scheme from this verbal report will be enabled to do so fully by an in stant's reference to the map of London. The short subur ban line which we have mentioned is intended to run round the south of the metropolis, will communicate w ith the lines to Brighton, Dover, the Crystal Palace, the main line of the Seuth-Western, the Croydon, Epsom, Mid - K ent, and Ntrth Kent—in fact, with allthe London railway s on the Surrey side of the Thames. Th e a mount of subur ban passenger traffic, by this line is estimated as being of itself sufficient to justify its immediate formation, and the peculiar advantages which it must derive from being in connection with all the other main routes are suffi ciently apparent. To accommodate the ex p e cted in crease the whole of this line w ill h e l a id down for fo ur pairs of rails. From Brixto n th e li ne w ill approach th e river along the eastern bounda r y o f the new par k at Battersea, passing above th e C r y s t a l Palace Sloane street station. The bridge p or ti on o f the undertaking will be the only one presenting any feature of engineer ing interest or difficulty along the entire route. It will run parallel with the handsome ne w suspension br id g e at Batter?* but only about a quar t e r of a mile distant from it en the London side. I n consequence of this rather near proximity to what will undoubtedly b e one of the handsomest bridges abou t the metropolis-object tions may be offered on the part of the Government, who may stipulate that the span of the centre of the railway bridge shall equal that of the suspension. This would repuire an iron arch of nearly 400 feet span—a rather important engineering work, though nothing when compared with the colossal tubular bridge which crosses an arm of the sea at more than 200 feet above its surface. The promoters of the scheme are, however, quite prepared if necessary to make the centre arch of any breadth of span which the Government may Ex The bridge will run direct to the entrance of the Gros venor-canal. As even among the be,t informed of our readers there may be some not thoroughly acquainted with the topography of this stagnant' channel, we may men tion that its entrance from the Thames is on the Mid dlesex side, ebout a quarter of a mile or so from the new bridge, and thence it runs in an almost straight line through the shabby parts of Pimlico, terminating in the Grosveuor-b - asin, a deep and extensive dock near the end of new Victoria-street. It was made by the Marquis of Westminster, whose consent it was, of course, necessary to obtain before the canal could be converted into a route for a railway. As, however, the canal has been by no means a lucrative investment, his lordship at once consented to the pro posal, merely requiring to be assured that neither he nor his property would be injured by the change. Thi s we e, of course, satisfactorily demonstrated, and his lordship gave a lease of the property for 999 years, stipulating for nothing more than the present rental of the canal—a by no means heavy sum. This great liberality on the part of the marquis removed the only bar which could have been placed on the success of the plan, and since that time the whole undertaking has been carefully matured, and has advanced the necessary stages towards obtaining a bill next session. The canal presents almost unequalled facilities for carrying out the plans in the most effective and cheap manner. The operation will be brought about by opening the lock-gates, letting out the water, and filling in the bed and basin with dry rubbish, till the whole is raised to the "low levtron which it is intended that the line shall be laid. No vaulting is required; no expensive property bas to be purchased, or engineering difficulties to be overcome. The line thus made will terminate at the Cen tral station, on the site of the basin of thecanal. If this station is finished as intended, it will undoubtedly be one cf the finest and most capacious buildings of its kind in existence, The area of the basin iii 7 times greater than that of the station at . London-bridge, and nearly 5 times larger than the whole extent of the Great Western terminus at Paddington. In addition to this large space the promoters have already secured no less than 40 acres of grouud round the basin, so as to admit, if necessary, of the terminus being extended to more than twice its at present proposed size. There will be more than suffi cient space in all for every line south of the Thames. For the accommodation of these there will be le departure and 6 arrival platforms. Only a small number of the latter is requisite, for an arriving train is empty in a few minutes, while those starting have generally to oc cupy the platform nearly half an kour. Each platform as belonging to a distinct line, will have its own book ng and luggage office in the general buildings of the terminus. The roofing of the space set apart for the actual arrival and departure of trains will of c mrse be glass and iron, and upwards of 1,400 feet long by 500 feet wide—another Crystal Palace in its way. The gene ral plan of the whole terminus will be that of a huge quadrangle. The exterior thus forms a noble range of buillinge, and which, judging from the designs alrsads prepared, will prove a valuable addition to our not very ilarge stook of ornamental architecture in London. The style will be Gothic, and the front elevation in its gene ral features is not unlike the terrace front of the new Houses of Parliament, though, of course, less fl irid and expensive in detail. Tiais portion will, b.) expressly built for an extensive hotel—an hotel sufficient, if need be, to shelter all the multitudinous visitors who daily flock up to London from the south of England. The courtyard in the interior of the quadrangle will be 350 feet long by 150 wide, and all roofed in with glass and iron. Into the centre of this passengers wil drive on coming t' start per train, and all the various entrances into ths terminus beyond will be ,marked with the names of the lines to the platforms of which they dead. Thus the in tending traveler drives at once to his point of dep.'''• tore—Go:port or Windsor, Brighton or Gravesend. Salisbury or Devon port, as the case may be. In 'hese few remarks we have, of course, merely given the "heads" of the scheme, but enough, we think, to show both its importance and great utility. The extent of the latter, in fact, can scarcely be overrated, for, is addition to the West-end and the south side, nearly one half of the northern division of London will also be ac. colon - lodated. A glance at the map will show our readers a few of the routes• which the weary passengers from Bayswater, Paddington, or Camden-hill must traverse ere the Brighton, Waterloo, or Crystal Palace stations can be reached ; and none can doubt the improvement of the change, which may be said to make Charing-cross Vie common centre. It is, in short, the first step towards making our unwieldy, overgrown metropolis manageable. with, regard to distances, and diminishing the inordinate traffic through some of our most crowded, routes, The idea itself is a grand and comprehensive one, and, as far as it has gone, it has besn well and carefully planned. For the rest, we can only hope that such success may attend it as a scheme so c aducive to the public benefit and accommodation reaPy deserves. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCf. METROPOLITAN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Great George-itreet, Westmin ster—Mr. L. Simpson in the chair. The report stated that the negotiations with the Great Western and Great Northern Railway Companies did not lead to a satisfactory result. The bill for the eaten- sitn of time had received the royal assent. The whole of the powers of the company are therefore intact for another year, and the directors are consequently in a position to enter into arrangements with any persons who may desire to possess the powers enjoyed by the company. The reasons which induced the promotion of the line, and obtained for it the sanction of the Legisla• ture and the co-operation of the Great Western Railway Company, have been not only generally recognised, but have grown in - public estimation, from the repeated in• ♦~stigations to which they have been since subjected, and from the additional evidence which subsequent expe rience has furnished. The Post-office having undertaken the carriage of book and small parcels has rend3red the new line the more necessary for the accommodation of tbat department. The opening of the cattle market at Copenhagen-fields has created a necessity for the railway to connect the cattle market with the dead-meat mar- kets in the city. The extensive use of the North Lon- dcri Railway for goods has demonstrated the advantage which a similar extension for the accommodation of the goods traffic of the Great Western and Great Northern Railways will prove to those ,companies. The large accession to the street traffic which has since grown upon the already overcrowded thoroughfares of the metropolis has increated the urgency of the demand for the relief which this line will in that respect afford ; and the in creased use of the cheap above-bridge river steamers, coupled with the immense passenger traffic of the North London Railway, has confirmed the ex pectation of the great number of persons who will avail themselves of the facilities of the Metropolitan Railway. The directors•call the attention of the proprietors of the Great Western Railway Company seriously to these mat ters, and urge upon them not to allow the opportunity to be lost which this line affords of remedying what is very generally considered the patent defect in their system— viz., the remoteness of the Paddington station from the city and the busier parts of the metio?ots, and which is alone, perhaps, sufficient to account for the depression of their undertaking. The directors have settled the large el tinis for professional services that had accrued during the four years which have elapsed since the incorpora tion of the c , mpany, the gentlemen cc ncerned having, in consideration of.the circumstances in which the company is placed, consented to a large reduction in the amounts respectively claimed by them. The accounts still out standing are but few and of small amount, and the direc tors see no reason to alter materially the opinion ex pressed at the last meeting that the ultimate loss would not exceed Gs. per share. Looking, however, at the large amount borrowed from the bankers of the company, the directors thought it necessary, for the safety and protec tion of al) parties, to make a call of 103. per share. In the event of the favourable s iuding up, which they confi dently anticipate,,such call would of course be repaid, in addition to •the 14s. per share of the original deposit of 11. per share. The capital account showed that 147,4831. had been received, and 66,2481 expended, leaving a balance of 81,2351, consisting of 71,2501. in the hands of the Accountant-General, 3,1101. due by the Royal Bri tish Bank, and 5,5941 at the bankers. The balance now in the hands of the Accountant-General, atter payment of the July dividends, amounts to 84,5551. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, reminded the proprietors that at the last half-yearly meeting a distinct understanding was come to between the directors and the shareholders that a final effort should be made to induce the Great Western to do some thing to insure the carrying out of the undertaking, either by way of additional subscriptions cr by tak ing shares; arid it was also hoped that the Great Northern Railway Company might be induced to exeroise the power they had from Parliament to raise a sum of money to make that part of the line between the Great Western terminus and the city. The negotiations entered into with those companies, though carefully con ducted, had entirely failed. The letter received from Mr. Saunders, the secretary of the Great Western Board, declining to afford any assistance, being conclusive as to that company, the directors felt that it would be idle to iccur further expense to do that which appeared indis pensable to the development of the Great Western sys tem. The opinion of the board as to the necessity of the line was unaffected by anything that had taken place; on the contrary, every circumstance that had arisen had only tended to confirm them in the conviction of the absolute necessity of such an undertaking being carried cut at no very distant period. That opinion, too, was shared by all men of experience in railway matters. The lase chairman of the Eastern Counties Railway, at the meeting of that company on Friday last, urged the im portance of metropolitan connexion strongly upor, his late colleagues at the board and the shareholders, aK being a great advantage to that company, and, if to the Eaetere Counties, how much more so was it to the Great Western, the London and North-Western and the GreakNorthern 1 He bad no doubt that many gentlemen drawnt h t es o e t a h p e i t figures earnings per mile ; and bad obser ved the disagreeable shooing present had the had pro their re ee f r e attentioneond fcondition o o position occupied by the Great Western in the scale of comparison—a position which he believed was mainly Th e attributable to necessity for t he soonfac a t t t h e a r n t they la b o e y e f b o a r d t n h o e city line s t e n r orth o 1 the Thames seemed to be generally recognized. But when the directors found themselves -in a position it. which they could not carry it out in a manner which they considered consistent with the interest of the THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. The select committee of the House of Commons appointed to consider the state of those British possessions in North America .which are under the• Hudson's Bay Company, or over which they possess a license to trade, have agreed to their report, The following are the more important portions of this interesting document :—The territory over which the company now exercise rights is of three desrip- Cons ; first, the land held by charter, or Rupert's L ind ; second, the land held by licence,' or the Indian territory ; third, Vancouver's Island. For the nature of the tenure by which these countries are severally connected with the company your com mittee would refer to the evidence 'they h*te re ceived and the documents appended to theiirePort. Among the various objects of imperial policy which it is important to attain, your committee consider that it is essential to meet the just and reasonable wishes of Canada to be enabled to annex to her ter ritory such portion of the land in her neighbour hood as may be available to her for the purpose of settlement ; with which lands she is willing to open and maintain communications, and fur which she will provide the means of local administration. Your committee apprehend that the districts of the Red River and the Saskatchewall are among those likely to be desired for early occupation. It is of great importance that the peace and good order of those districts should be effectually secured. Your committee trust that there will be no difficutly in effecting ar rangements as between her Majesty's Government and the Hudson Bay Company by which these dis tricts may be ceded to Canada on equitable prin ciples, and wi , hin the districts thus annexed to her the authority of the Hudson's Bay Company would, of course, entirely cease. Your committee think it best to content themselves with indicating the out lines of such a scheme, leaving it to her Majesty's Government to consider its details more maturely bef .re the act of Parliament is prepared, which will probably be necessary to carry it int effect. In case, however, C inada should not be 'willing, at a very early period, to undertake the government of the Red River district, it may. be proper to consider whether some provision for its administration may not be advisable. Your committee are of opi nion that it will be proper to terminate the connec tion of the Hudson's Bay Company with Vancou ver's Island as soon as it can conveniently be done, as the best means of favouring the development of the great natural advantages of that important colony. Means should also be provided for the ulti mate extension of the colony over any portion of the adjoining continent, to the west of the Rocky mountains, on which permanent settlement may be found practicable. • THE LATE ACCIDENT Ols7 THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY. On the first report of an accident on a railway, .he poor directors and head officers are taunted with mismanagement, carelessness, and a multitu'de of other sins. In many cases, these charges are not erroneously brought forward, but in the late acci dent on the Brighton line, the directors .and chief officers are blameless, and the unfortunate occur rence is only to be attributed to the engine driver, and to the person whose duty it was to have coupled the signal line from guard to driver, and to have seen that that line was in proper working order. It is admitted that the danger signal was on, but from inattention it was un noticed or disregarded by the driver ; it appears, also, that the Brighton trains are provided with a cord or rope running under every carriage, furnished with a snap swivel joint at each end ; the swivels are connected when the train is made up, and thus a continuous connection is effected from one end of the train to the other. One end of this line 'of communication is attached to a bell on the engine, and the other eaters the guard's van. This is au admirable contrivance, and if maintained in efficient working order should be adopted on every line of railway. As the guard of the train to which the accident occurred was on the alert, and noticed the danger signal, it is to be assumed the a ccident would have been prevented, notwithstanding.th et driver's neglect, had the signal cord been in efficien er order. Whose duty was it to attend to the prop a connecting and working of this cord n c t A e n r d a w t a s it neglected ? If entrusted O h : p directors at once week wages, we urge upon d t res risible man at to' appoint a well-paid .an up Andto at tendin especially to these signal every station where trains ar pin e : I d e s . observing, or, observi order to avoid accidentnfgromfaitlhinegetrippneaydartivteenrtnicoiti nal, would it not . be practicable of the danger signal to throw t n h g e e rt turning g up o an inclined plane by the side of the rails, and t t causeaed aa upon a rod depending from the engine, con nected t o the s team valve, and shut-off steam from the cyliaders This or some other similarly-acting appara'.us might be tried at little expense, and any plan which would stop the engine, with or without the aid of the driver, upon the exhibition of the danger signal, would go far to prevent those ac cidents which occur from trains running into other carriages. —Mechanics Magazine. a SHIPPIN4 DISASTERS.—GREAT LOSS OF COTTON.— Information was received at Liverpool yesterday that the ship Lexington, from Orleaps to Liverpool, bad gone on shore at Brandon Bay, near Tralee, with 1,091 bales of cotton and 100,000 staves.

On Monday morning a -- troop, under the command of Captain Irwin, with Cornet Armstrong, left for Belfast, via Carlow ; and on Tuesday morning the head-quarters divi sion, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Pattie, fol lowed them. The four troops at Athy, Carlow, Waterford, and Cahir, have also commenced mov ing to Belfast, from which the whole regiment (con sis: ing of 24 officers, 300 non-commissioned officer?, trumpeters, farriers, and rank and file, with 45 officers' chargers and 271 troop horses) will embark on the 4th, 7th, and Bth Sept. for Glasgow, and march thence to Edinburgh, where they will occupy _ the Piershill barracks. The arrival of the Conqueror, 101, screw two decker Capt. Yelverton, C.B. at Spithead yester day morning is to be accounted for as follows : When Admiral Lord Lyons was at Gibraltar with his squadron the transport Abeona, destined to bring the 47th Regiment to England, arrived from • Malta in a disabled state. As the Governor of Gib raltar represented to the Admiral that the autho rities at home were particularly desirous of get ting the 47th to England with the least possible deley, his lordship detached the best line-of-battle ship at the disposal for the purpose, and at 24 hours' not;ce from the time of the Governor'e ex pressing his wish the whole regiment were embarked and the Conqueror under way. She made the pas sage to Spithead in six days. Hertroops were landed on Tuesday afternoon by the steam tugs Pigmy and Com.t at Clarence-yard, whence they proceeded by - rail to quarters. The screw despatch steam gun veesels Roebuck, Sparrowhawk, and Assnrance, 6, Commander - Martin, Annesley, and Byng, have left Spithead for Calcutta, under convoy of Capt. De Conroy, in • the Pylades, screw, 21. The Falcon, 17, Commander Campion, has been paid off at Portsmouth. The gunboats J aseur and Jasper are ready for , Spithead.

We Mermaid, transport, isashipping provisions . from the Royal Clarence-yard for India. , The Khersonese, steam transport, arrived at Portsmouth from Liverpool yesterday to embark troops for India. The Athletae has been chartered, and is hourly expected in Cork harbour to embark Major the Hon. D. Frazer's C battery of artillery. The horses have been handed over to the 9th Battalion of Royal Artillery at Ball:ncollig. The head-quarters of the 56th will not be able to leeve Cork before the end of the week, as the Wa terloo, in which they are to proceed, is not expected to arrive before Thursday, owing to the preparation of some necessary fittings. The sailing ship Alipore, belonging to W. S. Lindsay and Co., fitted out at Deptford to receive the artillery troops for Kurrachee, went down to Woolwich on Tuesday evening, and has still a num ber of artificers on board arranging the military fit tings. She is expected to be in readiness to-day (Thursday) for the inspection of the Naval Board, and will probably embark her troops on the follow ing day. They are to consist of Lieut. -Col. E. Price; Lieut. W. Stirling, Adjutant ; Lieut. A. T. C. Peurse (Pearse), Quartermaster; Capt. A. F. Con nell ; in command of the X field battery ; Captain H. A. Thrupp ; Lieut. F. T. A. Law, Lieut. B. F. Schreiber, Lieut. W. Newman, Assistant-Surgeon ; R. A. Chapelle, Veterinary Surgeon ; J. H. Car ter, and 184 rank and file ; 20 gunners and drivers to join two companies already embarked , two ser geants, as clerk and storekeeper, and two hospital sergeants—total, 10 officers and 208 men. • Captain Morris, in charge of the ship Rio Blanco, recently arrived in Young's Wharf, at Millwall, has engaged 10 Artillery sergeants (the majority of whom are employed in Woolwich arsenal), to pro ceed to Peru as troop instructors in the Peruvian Horse Artillery. Eighty extra labourers were yesterday engaged to clear outf the iron ballast, consisting of 800 tons, on board the Defencehulk at Woolwich, so as to enable her to be towed into dock. The whole of the stores, to the value of 2,0001., principally bale goods, da maged bytheirlong immersion inthe water,have been disposed of to the naval contractor, and have been removed. A telegraphic order was yesterday despatched to Woolwich directing the steam frigate Curacoa to retain her stores, as, by Admiralty directions, she is not to be paid off at Woolwich.

IMPORTANT CAUTION against the fearful dangers of spurious imitations :—The Vice-Chancel. for Sir William Page Wood granted an Injunction on the lOtlr March, 1854, against Alfred Hooper Nevill, for imitating !! Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food." THE INDIAN TELEGR IPII. What is the subject upon which at this moment the greatest interest is felt by the population of these islands ? What wish with reference to public affairs has been most universally expressed during the last two months? These questions can be an ewered without a minute's hesitation. If there is one ardent and absorbing desire pervading the whole nat . on just now it is the desire to know what is passing in India—to know it from day to day, without uncertainty in the intelligence or suspense in the communication—to feel that we are omitting no exertions through ignorance and losing no op portunities through delay. Nor does the occasion, momentous as it is, appeal to public spirit only. Private affections are extensively involved in the matt r, and the fate of our countrymen, for whose safety prayers are put up in our churches, furnishes a subject of unceasing anxiety to thousands of households throughout the kingdom. If by these observations we have quickened the emotions of our readers we have something in reserve for their satisfaction. To be as brief as pos sible on such a point, we simply state that there are persons now prepared at a very small expense, in a very short time, and by methods which seem pal pably practicable, to bring India into such con nection with England that whatever is known one day in Calcutfa may be known that day week in L mdon. Of course, the agency is that of the Tele graph ; there is nothing knew in the principle, .but there is something very striking in the coincidence by which the facilities iu question have been created. At the south-eastern corner of the Mediterranean basin lies the port of Alexandria. From Suez, at the opposite side of the narrow isthmus .which con nects Africa with Asia, to Aden, our own settle ment, at the outlet of the Red Sea, the d s'anca is less than 1,500 miles ; frOm Aden to Kur rachee—the most convenient port •of India— the mileage is about the same ; so that the space to be traversed between Alexandria, a point almost at our door, and ICurrachee, a town stand ing on the Indus itself, assumes no very consid-r -able proportions, and is besides divided admirably for the purposes in view. But thousands of miles of cable are not to be had at a moment's notice. As it happens, they are. The Atlantic Telegraph Company, in the exercise of their discretion, have decided on not immediately renewing the attempt to connect England with the United St :tea, and their cable is.disposable for a similar enterprise in another direction. We said the cost would be small. The fact will be admitted when we state that 300,0001. —little more than the amount of which a single railway company was robbed by a single servant—will link Alexandria with Aden. The c ,nnexion of Adeu with Kurrachee will be more costly by 100,000/. • but 700,0001. would complete- the business ; and so plain are the pros pects, and so confident the projectors, that London, it is distinctly averred, could be brought within a week's distance of Calcutta almost as soon as the troops now leaving these shores will arrive before Delhi. To speak more precisely to the point, we are assured that this most desirable communication can be actually established before the end of the present year. What hinders, then ? Not money, when 400 times the amount has been spent upon British railways only. Not money, when a million could be raised for alum t any scheme imaginable. Season the morsel properly to commercial palst s, aiid men are found rolling in riches up to their chins. But, though your true British merchant will give, spend, or even squander without scruple as appeals arise to his sympathies or his tastes, he will not make an unpromising investment or haz ird a single shilling against the maxims of trade. Business is business. Ask him for a gift If a thousand pounds, and you may get it ; but recommend him to stake 101. in a bad speCulation, and lie flatly refuses. Now, the Indian Telegraph as a mere commercial project has not a sufficiency of attrac tion. India itself is unsettled, and the greater the necessity for the communication the less would be the inclination to the investment ; besides which, our greatest telegraphic enterprise has just this moment been suspended. So on 'Change it might reasonably enough be questioned whether the Indian telegraph in itself promised that amount and certainty of remuneration which would command the capital required, —in other word, .notwith standing the extraordinary popular ity and - eminent utility of the design, it might not as a commercial undertaking find the necessary support. Announce it as an impending fact, and no words can be strong enough to paint the universal satisfaction ; intro duce it as a business speculation, and the question is, what will it pay per cent. ? The old method of meeting theSe exceptional cases is, of course, a guarantee,—a proceeding by which certain governing authorities supply . through their own sureties that certainty which the enterprise itself does not seem to carry. Is it we. th while to give this guarantee under present eircunistinces Let the reader recall a few facts to his mind, and consider. The outbreak which disclosed the true character of the Indian mutinies occurred on the 10th of May, and the gravity and extent of the emergency were developed by the two successive mails. Not till the end of July did we fully learn that the apparent insubordination of half-a-dozen regiments meant the desperate mutiny of an entire army, and that in the struggle before was really represented, not the correcam of a refract.:ry bat talion or two, but the grapple of an enormous, though disorganised, host with the few but cou rageous supporters of Government and order. Now, if an Indian telegraph had been in operation we should have been saved all, or nearly all, our successive stages of misconception, and should have done at first what we did at last. We began with despatching four or five regiments to India, whereas the demand has already absorbed between 20 and 30. To compress the whole case into half-a dozen words, these mutinies have been estimated as threatening a cost of some 20,000,000/. ; and could any investment he more promising than the appli cation of less than a twentieth part of this sum to the establishment of such a communication as might most materially modify the expenditure of the whole ? As we, have made up our minds to vindicate our posit:on in India by the absolute re assertion of our supremacy, the whole question is plainly a question of time ; and time saved is money saved, here as everywhere. The restoration of order in a single province of Bengal through the agency of this telegraph a month sooner than would other wise have been the case would go far towards a re imbursement of the whole outlay ; indeed, the money might possibly have been saved at once in a single lump if these • means of despatch had enabled us to protect the Indian treasuries from plunder. Even then we have hardly stated the matter with sufficient force, for after the arrival of reinforcements has secured the communications bF tween Delhi and Calcutta, •and after Alexaudri. haS been connected, a s it might ieldily be, with Constantinople or Malta, there is no reason why 24 hours should not suffice to put us in possession of every event on the banks of the Ganges.
