Waghorn, R.N., a gentlema❑ to whom the public is much indebted for his successful endeavours in promoting the overland route to India, in its earliest stages ; and he now propounds a plan for the acceleration of the Indian mails by that route, once a fortnight. He furnishes some interesting statistics of voyages already made, as the groundwork of his propositions. With re spect to the Calcutta line, he suggests that the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company should continue their ships (the Hindostan and Bentinck) according to their arrangement with the East India Company in 1841, and that the latter body should set aside one of their steamers of 760 tons, to run between Calcutta, Madras, Ceylon, Aden, and Suez, in those months of the year when the Oriental Company's steamers do hot, until that company get a third large steamer to complete the arrange ment. He states—" The Hindostan, up to the present time, has made very rapid passages both ways between Suez and Calcutta, touching at Ceylon, Madras, and Aden, and has given every satisfaction to the public." With re gard to the Bombay line, he suggests that the E. I. Com pany's steamers should leave Bombay every fortnight for Aden, their other steamers being divided between Bom bay and Aden. He would send the mails (through Egypt) in:the quickest way to Alexandria, without reference to passengers ; H.M. steamers at Alexandria to start at once with them for Marseilles, on their way to London : the letters and passengers vid Southampton to come and go as they now do, by the Oriental Steam Company's steamers. The mails to and from India on the Suez side should, be contends, always remain in the hands of the E. I. Company, as " no private company can with cer tainty be contracted with, to fill up the breaks down which any unforeseen accident may occasion, for any private company on the Indian side must have recourse to the government of India only to do the needful in such The fullowiug telegraphic despatches have been rece through the French government Nov. r oorn't LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKElS, ke ttbilper' We have had a good supply of Cattle at our marks kW" ing, and prices ruled about the same as our last.
