The meted interest is felt in the experiment shoat to be
tried of sealing troops .by the overland route to India,
The troops sent out in the Sultan to-morrow will be in
Calcutta in a little more than seven weeks' time. It would
appear that the government will only send for the pre-
sent through Egypt certain special arms of the military aer-

overland route foe troops has been opened, it is to be hoped
that it will always be available again an cases of emergency.

RAILWAT3 roe is the time, saes the
LeAort Chronicle, to impanel upon the government the vital
importance of atabliehurg • network of railways in this
country. The absolute necessity of establishing rapid con,
niuniestione has been amply proven by the present crisis.
Even with forced marches, troops, take twenty-four days to
get over the distaace they would be ierried by rail in twelve
or eighteen hours. Ten thousand men with a rail to travel
by are fully equal in this country to thirty thousand, with
the actual means of conveyance, and the met of the differ-
. cure, vi,., '-'O.OOO European troops is a matter of pounds,

It would have " astonished the natives' to have seen a gal-
lant Briti.h army landed at Lahme, within a month of the
outbreak taking place, and )et such • thing would have been
possible, supposing the electric telegraph to have been also
comiffeted or Ai to establish an electric messenger between
the ndus and the Thames. But we are a people of slow
perception in spite of all that may be said of our superiority.
It is only when we are severely punished, that we awaken
from our lethargy. Prompt chastisement carries terror and
fear with it. and unhinges the plane of conspirators, whereas
delay in punishing the guilty gives them confidence and adds
to their strength. Let us hops that one of the good thing.

munication on • liberal wale.
