LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Four o'Clock.

We collect from the news received yesterday from
India, details of which will be found in another page,
that tranquillity prevailed throughout the British
possessions. The Governor-General and Lord Gough
were about to leave Simla, the former most probably
to survey our recent conquests in the Punjaub, while
the latter would proceed on the annual army inspec-
tions. The press was engaged with the case of Sir
John Littler, and it was broadly contended in some
publications that the gallant officer had been neg-
lected, and his services overlooked in the distribution
of honours bestowed in this country for the victories
achieved on the Sutlej.
Mr. Chapman, who has been engaged in a survey
of the line of country through which it is proposed to
carry the great Indian Peninsular Railway, had left
Bombay, and may be expected daily in England.
This gentleman is the bearer of important detailed
accounts of the interior of the country rid the Malsej
Ghaut, and on the whole we find vety favourable
opinions expressed as to the prospects of the proposed
undertaking. The following is from one of the
Bombay papers which have reached us.
Mr. Chapman, the manager of the Great Indian Peninsula
Railway Company, takes his departure in to-day's steamer
for England, after a sojourn of rather more than a year
amongst us. in this brief space of time the detailed surveys
of a line of railway from Bombay into the interior, vie the
Malsej Ghaut.-extending over a tract of country upwards
of 100 miles in length—and reconnoaances of the districts
northward towards Malwa, and southward towards Shola-
pore, have been sufficiently completed under his direction ;
an immense body of facts, illustrative of the present con-
dition of Western India, the nature and extent of its trade,
and its urgent need of improved internal communication,
has been laboriously collected and arranged ; and calcu-
lations have been made which show beyond all cavil, that
taking only the existing commerce, without any allowance
for increase, and excluding passenger traffic altogether from
consideration, the proposed lines, even should they coat
10,0001. per mile—a high estimate for an Indian railway—
will yield a dividend to shareholders of not less than eleven
per cent. per annum. Statements have been prepared, and
will shortly be laid before the public, which prove this to
demonstration.
The news of the decease of Baboo Dwarkananth
Tagore had been received in Bombay with universal
regret. Speaking of this event, the Bombay Times
observes:
" The last mail brought with it from England the ac-
counts of the demise of Dwarkananth Tagore, one of the
