When it is recollected that within little more than two years the same j , urney occupied six awl thirty hours, the import ance of the undertaking may be conceived. The inauguration on Saturday was conducted, in as far as the directors were concerned, with great sim- • plicity. Taking into consideration the great suffering in the country, in consequence of the scarcity of food, and looking to the misery existing in the very districts through which the railway passes, from the excessive dearness of provisions, the directors decided that they could not inaugurate their railway more appropriately than by app; ding the enitiunt which in more pros, ensue yeers would have been expiTided in festivity to - he rdief of the poor. They, therefore, resolved to distribute 12.000 f. in the districts through which the Hale(' Railway passes, and that sum was accordingly placed in the hands o k f illo th w e ing pro p pe ro r po a r u ti t o h o o s riies, to be distributed in the tf w t ßoh o anr w e st n ainjt olu o htgs f he L yon vg at r ec :-1,500f. to the poor of the communes great, ea, lnrot, considered 0 0 1. b. formal, . ymh fr f aoto o lhr ; ega t Gdnh h city id e rriawenevcaxhi tipoi: :eprh o sr on; f sapi stav ß ;honi ie o adni t t i ne e l tia7 n haau, eneo;:duppl present sstseif ; on ; nrt. v o l oa l r mn e e gs ; circumstances of the country, unbe coming, it was thought necessary that some of the for malities usual on such occasipns should be observed, in order that the public might be aware that the line was at length actually opened for its service, a fact which it was the more necessary to make generally known, as, from the unprecedented and wholly unnecessary difficul ties, thrown by the Minister of Public Works and the department of the Fonts et Chausse in the way of the company, people began to doubt if the line would be opened at all. Accordingly the directors invited a few of their friends to visit the works on Saturday. The guests were limited, to one hundred, and consisted of the chairman and some of the directors of the principal rail ways round Paris, the engineers and principal employes on the railway, some of the principal shareholders in the line, and the representatives of the fourth estate of Paris, who, by the bye, outnumbered all the other guests. M. Charles Laffitte, the chairman of the direc tors ; M. de l'Espee, deputy ; Count d'Alton-Shee, peer of France ; M. Dailly, director of the Poste et Chevaux at Paris ; and M. Blount, banker, directors, were all present. Among the principal guests were the directors of the Orleans and Northern Railway, the Duke de Slouchy, the Mayors of Havre and Rouen, M. Du-. bois, deputy for Havre ; M. Vital, deputy . for Bolbec ; M. Theophile Gautier, M. Alphonse Karr, &c. The train; consisting of eight first-class carriages belonging to the Havre Company, started from the Rouen Railway station at Paris at seven in the morning, and reached Rouen at a quarter before ten. At Rouen a handsome breakfast was provided for the guests, which having been done ample justice to, the train started for Havre. It is hardly necessary to remind our readers that the country between Rouen and Havre, through which this line passes, is the most beautiful as well as the richest for agricultural products and manu factures in all France. Throughout the whole distance the traveller is delighted with a succession of splendid landscapes and river views, delightful valleys studded with villages and country seats, and thousands of cot tages teeming with an industrial and comfortable manu facturing population. In the course of the journey charming views are got of Ivetot, Bolbec, Harfleur, and other picturesque old Norman towns, with occasional peeps of the Seine, and of the opposite coast of Nor mandy. Bat the beauties of nature are not the only at tractions of the journey. To the man of science the railway itself is the greatest curiosity. For a long time it was thought impracticable to make a line of railway to Havre, but the spirit and the genius of our own countrymen (for almost every one connected with the works is English), overcame every difficulty, and the Havre line stands at the present moment a monument of the skill of Mr. Locke, the head engineer, and of Messrs. Mackenzie and Brassey, the contractors. There is no railway in Europe, which, in pro portion to its length (58 miles), has anything like the same number of stupendous works in the shape of tunnels, viaducts, cuttings, mei embankments, as the Havre line has. There is hardly a bit of level ground in the whole distance. The cisesequstice is, that ever) portion of the line shoe s, even to the uninitiated ,•ye, the great amount of skill, labour, and pers,veratice necessary for its aceinnplishmene The train stopped at the stupendous viaducts of Berrentin, Malanisy, and Mirville, and also at some of the tunnels, in order to allow the guests to examine these extraordinary works, which are well calculated to give an idea of the immense difficulties which the engineers had to contend with, and which they have so completely surmounted. At all the towns and villages on the line the popula tion flocked in great numbers to celebrate an event so fraught with important consequences to them, and at the principal towns (with the single exception ot . Rouen) the authorities also and the national guards turned out to do honour to the occasion. At Havre the train was received with great enthusiasm. Besides all the princi pal inhabitants of the place, the whole of the authorities in their robes of state, the troops of the garrison, the national guards, the magistracy in their robes of office, and the members of the bar in th,,ir caps and gowns were stationed at the embarcadere ready to receive the directors and their guests on their arrival. Immediately on the appearance of the train a salute of cannon was fired, and the whole of the troops presented arms, and the assembled thousands rent the air with their enthu siastic cheering. The. Bishop_ of Havre, who was present at the head of a large body of th - ii - Olergy;un - d of-a - prooession-wit,b ban ners, -- &c., offered up a prayer in favour of the under taking, and blessed the railway, the engine, &c., in the usual form. The sous-prefet of Havre then addressed a short speech to the public on the advantages which the railway was calculated to confer on the town of Havre, and thanked the directors and promoters of the under taking in the name of his fellow-citizens—a speech which was replied to by M. Charles Laffitte, the chairman of the directors. The distance from Paris to Havre, notwithstanding the numerous delays and stoppages on the way, was accom plished in six hours and a quarter. The directors, accompanied by their guests from Paris and Rouen, and the authorities at Havre, then adjourned to a handsome dinner provided by the company at the Hotel Frascati, where 200 gentlemen were entertained. After dinner the chairman (M. Laffitte) proposed the health of the King, which was drunk with all the honours. The health of the chairman was then drunk by acclamation, and respended to by M. Laffitte. The next toast was the health of Mr. Locke, the principal engineer, which was drunk with great enthusiasm. Mr. Locke, in his reply, alluded to the extraordinary and vexatious delays in the opening of the line, which had been caused by the Minister of Public Works, and the Departments of the Fonts et Chaus sees. He also alluded to the extraordinary trials to which the works on the line had been sub jected by order of the Government engineers, trials which were not only wholly unprecedented in the history of railways, but which were equally absurd and unnecessary. He pledged his professional reputation for the fact that there never was a line opened to the public in a better working state, or the works on which were safer or more solidly constructed than those of the Havre Railway, and he declared that there could not be a better proof of these works than the fret that, though the Government engineers (whether from envy or a more leedeble feeling he did not know) had done all in their power to crush the viaducts, by laying weights upon them which by no possible future combination of circumstances they could be called upon to bear, not a stone had moved, nor a brick cracked, throughout the whole ot them. fie then alluded to the extraordinary opposition which the company had met with Irene the authorities of the city of Rouen—an opposition ehich showed much more selfishness then patriotism, and ehich rotated a striking contrast with the slavish servi lity of the same persens when the questioe was as to the tusking of a line between Reuen and Paris. The only other toast given was that of Mr. Mac kenzie, the eminent engineer and principal contractor for the works en the line. Tiw train started for Paris again at ten minutes past four, end arrived in Paris before half-past ten, having performed the journey again in six hours and a quarter. In conc:uding this slight sketch of what was a most agreeable and interesting trip, we cannot help noticing amembers eal or comment t st it a m nc o e that rgth was egue s N ah o j t ec o t ne uf a a t g h , , ) , o(id of the Royal Family was present. The Mi nister of Public Werks a nd his whole staff were a l s o absent; and , in s hort, at the o p enin g of the Havre line, the French Government, and all those connected with it, took as little part as if the line was of no importance to France or her commerce. flow comes this? At the opening of the Rouen line the princes were present; at no opening of the Northern line they also attended, and at the opening of the small section of the Bordeaux line between Orleans and Tours there were not only princes, but ministers and puhlie functionaries without number. How, then, comes it that the inauguration of the Rouen and Havre Railway—the line that unites Paris with the Atlantic—should not have been honoured with the presence of any of these great personages? Surely it is as important as any of the others. Shall we tell the reason alleged on Saturday? It was said that they absented themselves for the same reason that induced M. Damon and his understrappers to give so much annoyance to the eompany, to cause so much vexatious and unnecessary delay in the opening ot the works, and to subject the undertakers th o a f asn rge i l t itoshh t io. o ukt hg a n , ha t e t tt, en ormous and useless expense. In short, i t was said ea t b an at, tn, becauset ry because ,th a ti t h h e e thecompany principal French i p is e c Gr o n oo svoi Government e na r mb e o d e un a t t n • proper to show its ill-humour; for be it known, that, as long as railroads in Fran ce were speculations of great difficulty and hazard, the English were h cour ta ted ua e h n t hctoue raged, and flattered ; b ut now that they French nearly to equa l t h emselves in suchauvenderakingth they are treated with a disdain which none can assume more readily than French officials. / ...; .: . . .!......, .., .

SOLEMN APPEAL to the PEOPLE of ' ENGLAND.—The Committee of the United Relief Associa tion feel it their duty to sabmit to their fellow-countrymen of every clan,,, and of every creed, the following brief APPEAL : ller Majesty, in Council, has fixed on Wednesday, the 24th inst., as a day of fasting and humiliation before God, under the present distress affecting Ireland and portions of Scotland. That proclama t ion will be favourably regarded by a large portion of the people of the united kingdom ; and even those who do not feel bound to obey an order of the Queen in Council, as a matter of moral obligation, will feel constrained, by a sense of duty to Him "by whom kings reign," to humble themselves under the haul of God. The Committee, formed for no denominational objects, and actuated by no sectarian spirit, enter into no discussion on the question of public fasts ; but of one thing they are confident,lhat on such a day, and when engaged In such an exercise, the religious public will feel disposed to embrace the opportunity of giving practical expression of their sympathy by presenting voluntary offerings for the support of the poor, who are now "ready to perish." This Committee would respectfully and earnestly urge on all denominations of their iellow- Christians the duty o f giving according to their ability ; and if fa voured with the commission, they will faithfully execute it according to the wishes of the donors. All monies are distributed in harmony with the catholic and unsectarlan spirit whick is the distinctive fea tures of this movement. While this Committee address this Appeal to the people through out the nation, they venture to suggest to the charitable and humane, in and around the metropolis, the propriety and practica bility of holding meetings on the evening of the 24th inst., and of presenting their donations on that occasion. To such meetings the Committee will be happy to send deputations if early notice be sent to this office. The general features of the distress need not hero be dwelt on. The case is argent—the people are perishing--death is doing its work by day and by night —the starving and the dying demand immediate re lief—the Providence of God calls " Whatsoever thy hand flndeth to do, do it with all thy might."

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.OXFORD, MARCH 22. Mr. Godfrey Pigott Cordeux, from Sheffield Collegiate School,. was elected, on Saturday last, to the Lusby Scholar ', ship at Magdalen-hall. OVER LAND MAIL INDIA. (From the times.) We have received by our ordinary semi-monthly express from Marseilles our dispatches from India in anticipation of the Bombay mails of the 16th ult. They bring no remarkable intelligence. The affairs of Lahore continued to require the utmost vigilance and activity of the officers employed there. Colonel Lawrence and his assistants administered the Government to the best effect, and the inhabitants had some hopes of improving their condition under the British rule. It was stated that no troops would be sent to the frontier station at Peshawur. Some of the mountaineers in the Hazareh districts had re volted, but their forces had been routed by the young chief called Ghoolab Singh, who, although possessing the same name, is not of the family of the Maharaja of Jammoo. Old Ghoolab Singh was rejoicing in the success of his manoeuvres. He had raised himself to a throne, and even on that occasion he outwitted, as he sup posed, the British diplomatists, by inducing them to give up the districts of Cashmere, which he repre sented as being very poor, not paying more than six or seven lace, whereas he now expects to obtain twenty or twenty-two from the inhabitants. The news from Affghanistan is not satisfactory. Akbar Khan, the, son ancrViruzeer of Dost Mahom med, had returned from Candahar to Caubul, having one of his uncles in his company. The report of the fight near Candahar is contradicted by accounts sent from Caubul. The true state of Affghanistan cannot easily be known, for all the statements circulated respecting that country are derived from the native writers in the pay of the Delhi Gazette, and they dare not send intelligence from Caubul which is dis pleasing to the Wuzeer. The intrigues and quarrels of Akbar Khan were not yet fully developed. Sir Charles Napier went in the beginning of February from Kurrachee to Hyderabad. Prior to his departure from Kurrachee the following general order or manifesto was issued : " GENERAL ORDER. " The army of Sinde is ordered to be broken up, and the number of troops reduced, so as, in future, to form the ordinary garrison of a frontier province. " This, as regards the interior tranquillity of Sinde, might hare been done two years ago. But the character of the Lahore Government and of its troops made it necessary for the Government of India to keep an army in Sinde. " The danger apprehended from the Punjaub subsided after the victories gained on the Sutlej. " The concentration of a large force on the Indus ceased to be necessary. " To the army of Sinde is due the tranquillity of this noble province. " To the discipline and orderly conduce of all, and the support which the officers of this army have given to me by their just and conciliating conduct towards the people, England is indebted for the tranquil possession of a country which the valour of the troops had con quered. " To the abilities of those offic:ers who have, from the first, conducted the civil branches of this Government, and to their unremitting exertions in the administration of justice, is padre especially to be attributed the suc cessful administration of the province, that attachment to the British rule, and that confidence which bas been so strongly evinced by the inhabitants of Sinde on two signal occasions—the campaign in the Boogtie Hills and the march of the Sinde force to Bhawulpoor. " But to the glory of freeing an enslaved country by a necessary conquest, and the consequent tranquillity of an apparently satisfied people, this army has added an increase of revenue to the company. " The last financial year showed that the united ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the civil Go vernment of Sinde (including the expense of a police r)rce of 2,400 horse and foot) amounted to only 15 lace 1,754 rupees. " That the revenue for that year was 41 lace 42,912 rupees, and, consequently, that 25 lace were paid last year towards defraying the military expense incurred, not by the conquest of Sinde in 1843, but by the pre vious occupation of Sinde, and by the disturbed state of the Punjaub. " Previous to the conquest, the army of Sind. was an CEO the adatitielietiteteXpenlie ASS beildrftllkaiitialipc the aggregate sum of 42 lace 37,435 rupees which has been collected in exces of the expenses of civil govern ment and police force, calculating both from the battle of Hyderabad to the present day. " Thus, whatever the previous occupation may have produced, the conquest of Sinde has not cost the East India Company a single rupee, for had the Ameers con tinued to rule the land, not a soldier could have been withdrawn from the force which occupied Sinde in 1842; on the contrary, strong reinforcements must have been added to it, divided, as it would have been, between Kurrachee and Sukkur, with the aggregated forces of the Courts of Hyderabad and Kyrepooor assembled, in a central position, between the weak wings of the army of occupation—wings separated by 400 miles of difficult country, and incapable of assisting each other or of re ceiving any reinforcements during five months of every year. " Such a pbsition must have been untenable, or te nable only in consequence of egregious folly in the part of a n enemy who commanded 100,000 men n a cent position. "An army divided as I have stated would probably have been cut to pieces; for apparently there could not have been any retreat.

" An immense increase of revenue has taken place in Bombay in consequence of the conquest of Sinde, which prevents the smuggling trade in opium, formerly carried on; what may be the amount of this increase I have no means of knowing, but it is said to be very great.

But it becomes your General, who best knows what you have done, and what you have suffered, to make known, on the breaking up of this army, the things which it has achieved for India, his admiration of its merits, and his gratitude for its assistance. " The high military spirit which animated the force that marched last year to Bhawulpoor was probably never surpassed. No army was ever more worthy of Indu, nor more fully possessed the confidence of its commander. "C. J. NAPIER, " Lieutenant• General, Governor of Scinde. "Head-quarters, Kurrachee, Jan. 28." Lord Bodine was expected to arrive at Xeerut SUN,. about the middle of February. The Commander-in Chief was encamped at Kurnaul. '1 he Nizam's dominions present still the old mise rable spectacle of an impoverished Government and a:i unpaid, plundering, and unruly soldiery. The intelligence of a bloody usurpation of the throne of Burmah is confirmed. The King, who succeeded Tharawaddie, has been murdered, and his power seized by one of the Woongies. In the interior of India tranquillity prevailed, with the exception of the Goomsoor country, which was not yet thoroughly pacified. - The daughter of the late Nawab of Bhopaul had been placed on the musnud by the British Resident, Mr. Hamilton, in the most imposing manner. The news of the appointment of Sir Willoughby Cotton to be Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay army had reached Bombay. The rise in the price of cotton had given cause for a rise in freights. (From the Bombay Times.) The announcement of the intended reduction of the army, contained in our last, has for a fortnight past formed subject of general speculation. We have at pre sent on the muster roll several hundred officers and 70,000 men of all arms more than we possessed when the Affghan war began. Besides the reduction of 200 men from each Sepoy regiment, a number of irregular corps are to be altogether broken up. To meet the cur rent deficiencies of the revenue, retrenchments to the extent of a million and a half on our annual expenditure must be effected. The Governor-General has directed that labour at public works shall be suspended on Sundays throughout India. A similar measure three years since, introduced by Sir George Arthur into Bombay, has been eminently successful." Thotigh the natives dislike our faith, they despise us when they see us neglect the precepts of the religion we profess. We have no intelligence whatever from our north west frontier. or the Punjaub, where everything seems as tranquil as possible. The Raja Lall Singh, ex-Minister, has reached Agra, and been confined in the fort. His family have accom panied him into exile, but for the present are kept apart from him till the pleasure of the Governor-General shall be known. The state of affairs in Afghanistan would seem to be improving. Akbar Khan had returned to Caubul from Candahar, accompanied by one of its Sirdars. The Wuzeer's visit was one of friendship to his rela tives, and not a hostile one. The report that he had captured the city and taken his uncles prisoners, turns out to have been false. The King of Burmah has been assassinated by one of his Woongies, who has usurped the throne of Ava. The murdered Prince was made Regent on the deposition of King Tharawaddie, and succeeded him on his demise. Mr. Colvin, the new Commissioner of the Tenasserim provinces, seems to be gaining the good wishes of the residents of Maulmain. The ex-Commissioner has left Calcutta for England—it is said to seek redress for his removal at the hands of the Court of Directors. The disturbances in the Goomsoor districts still con tinue, and reinforcements of troops from the neighbour ing cantonments are being poured into the country. Considerable sickness prevails amongst those already located in the district. It is said that Major-General Welsh and his staff are about proceeding to the scene of disturbance, to carry on effective measures for its sup pression. General Cubbon, Commissioner at Mysore, has, it is said, had an interview with the Raja, and presented him with a letter from our Government recommending some chances of importance in the administration of his affairs, which have been promised to be attended , o. The Maharaja of Nepaul is about returning to his capital from Benares, where he has been for some time on a pilgrimage. The only daughter of the late Nawab of Bhopaul has been placed on the throne of her ancestors by our resi. dent at Indore, Mr. Hamilton. The ceremony was an imposing one, and at its conclusion a khilut was conferred on the Shahjehan Begum from the Governor- General. Lord Hardinge was expected to reach Meerut about the middle of the present month ; Lord Gough was at latest dates at Kurnaul, and the Lieutenant-Governor of the north-west provinces at Malwa. Sir George Pollock, military membei of the Council of India, has been compelled to retire from India in consequence of bad health; he retires to England by the Cape. As an o ffi cer, Genet al Pollock has never met with a tithe of the applause he deserved. The smallness of the sacri fi ce of life which occurred to his army on their way from Pe shawur to Caubul has been accepted as an evidence of the ease of the enterprise instead of the consummate skill and caution of the GeneraL The manoeuvres by which the Khyber, Tezeen, and Khoord Caubul passes were forced in the face of a triumphant and furious enemy ............man._ snen in the ear Per of the Duke of Wel- sword, value 300 guineas, has been voted to Sir Henry Smith by the community of Calcutta, in token of their estimation of the services rendered the country by him in the late Seikh campaign. The Gall4int General quits India for England immediately. The Bombay Polytechnic Institute is now organized, the Governor, Mr. Clerk, having consented to become patron; Sir David Pollock, F.R.S., Chief Justice, to be President. The overland mail of the "th of January, once more five days behind her time, came into harbour on Sunday evening. The weather continues extremely cold, and in various parts of the Bombay presidency there has within the last fortnight been ice on the shallow pools. Trade continues dull. The late opium gambling trans actions have been pronounced illegal. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY MARKETS. REPORT FROM TUE IST TO THE 16TH OF FEBRUARY. BOMBAY, FEB. 16.—Cotton Piece Goods—Since our last holders generally have become firm, and demand higher prices, whilst the dealers have not been disposed to meet those demands. They are only offering slight advance upon grey domestics, 45 inches jacconets, 40 inches shirting of middling quality, and Maddapulams of coarse and heavy make; and, consequently, very little business has been done during the fortnight. If the holders continue firm for a little time longer, which will enable dealers to clear off their stock (now reduced to a moderate quantity), it is expected that an advance in price will be established before or after the Hooly holi days, which terminate on the sth proximo. Dyed Goods—Continue as before reported, without any improvement in price. The following is a list of sales during the period: — RS. A.

The fol lowing are the particulars of the 207 bales:-50 bales mule, 3001bs each, No. 20 at 61. 50 bales 3001bs each, No. 20 at 6+, and 20 bales No. 20, 4001bs. each, at 6. 50 bales No. 50, 3001bs each, at 9+; and 37 bales of 5001bs. each, consisting of N 0.40, at 7/ ; 60s and 70s together at 9/ annas per lb.

Metals—Bar iron, both Swedish and English, steady, as are also sheets and hoops—of the former we have heard a sale of 1,000 bundles in a damaged state at rupees 61-. Nail rod, both square and round, in demand. Swedish steel in tubs and faggots have become dull. Lead in pig, steady; sheets dull. Copper sheets and sheath ing continue steady, and we hear of 1,600 cwt. having been recently imported, consisting of 1,200 owt. of the former and 400 cwt. of the latter, and which have been sold at rupees 60+ and of rupees 58+ respectively; as also 200 cwt. of files imported with above, have been sold at 50 cwt.; and 75 cwt., that was imported previously, w as sold at 5 0 +.

The quality of this l , r,w has been highly approved of this year, and we have heard of a great demand fI. it, orders to a large extent having already arrived from up countries for those of last October brew, expected to arrive here in the month of April next. Bass—There is a moderate stock ; quotations 50r. per hogshead. Cotton—On the arrival of the overland mail of the 24th December the prices advanced, and 80r. were paid for old Dhollerah, and 84r. for Broach and Jambooser; but soon after the price declined, owing to the rise in freight. The ensuing crop has been slightly injured in the Goozerat provinces by the frost, but it is calculated the product of the season, when put together, of all the growing countries, will still exceed that of last year. There are only small quantities of New Kandeish ar rived, which have been sold at 86r. per candy. Tht• following are the quantities purchased since the Ist inst. for both English and China markets :- 500 bales Dhollerah and Bhownughur, at 80 rupees. 500 ditto ditto —7B ~ 500 ditto Broach and Jumbooser — 1,500 ditto 300 Candies Compta —7s ,p 100 ditto —74 ~ 100 ditto Oomravooty Purchased to arrive as follows :- 1,200 bales new Broach and Jambooser —96 „ 800 ditto new Dhollerah —Bs „ 200 Candies new Rhandeish... —B6 „ The following are the particulars of the purchases made since the Mail of the 7th of January arrived, from which will be observed, that although favourable accounts from England were received, yet the prices remain nearly the same as before; excepting on Compta a slight advance has been obtained. We do not look for any material advance on tha present price, owing to the ex treme scarcity of tonnage :- 1,000 bales old Broach and Jumbooser, at 82i rupees. 1,000 ditto Dhollerah 200 Candies Compta 76 PI 350 ditto Quotations of the day are as follows: Broach and Jumbooseer ...... 82i to Dhollerah 75 76 „ Compta - 76 „ Oomrawuttee 75 76 „ Mangarole Opium has slightly risen, and I,loors. been paid fur first quality. Freight, owing to the extreme scarcity of tonnage, has risen to 71. for Liverpool, at which actual engagements have taken place to the extent of 3,500 bales; and we quote the same rate for London. To China it has ad vanced to 21irs., at which the whole cargo of a vessel ' has been taken. As our cotton crop is large, it is ex pected that the freight throughout the busy cotton sea ' son will keep up high. Exchange has risen 2s. id. for bills from China, and to 2s. id. to 2s. ,td. for local, six months' sight; and at all these rates large transactions have been done for the mail. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
