MILITARY COLONIES IN INDIA.

TO THE =l7Ol OF THIIII%III.

Sts,—Will you allow one who has spent the
greater part of his life in India, to offer the follow-
ing suggestion on the prospects of the British
soldiers serving in India?
A vast tract of land called the Deltra Dhoon, ce
Talley of Debra, runs along the base of the sub-
Himalayas, which is but partially cultivated. A
similar tract of rich land lies to the eastward,
between Gorruckpore and the Nepaul range. With
the exception of a few isolated fictions, these tern•
tories have no European ses. Here many
thousands of European families might fled com-
fortable homes and useful and profitable employ-
ment, in a comparatively healthy and temperate
climate.

Daring the administration of Lord W. Bentinek
some grants of these lands were made to speculators,
most of whom gave them up, for reasons which it
would take too long to explain in your valuable
columns, but which do nut in any way affect the
present question.
Now that it will be necessary to maintain, with
no little difficulty and cost, a large British force in
India, it may be well worth the consideration of the
East India Company to hold out the prospect of
grants of these lands to European non-commissioned
officers and good conduct soldiers. Had these mili-
tary colonies been established many years ago the
British strength and influence in India would
have been much greeter, and we might have been
spared some of the calamitous scenes of the present
year.-1 am, Ice., J. M.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

LUND-HILL, SATUKDAY NIGHT.

Another death has to be added to the terrible list of those
destroyed by the explosion. This morning between four and
Ilse o'clock, Abraham Turner, of Wath, died. He was ono
of the 19 brought up alive from the pit.
As regards the pet itself there is no probability of its being
opened for some time to come. The apparatus for forcing
incombustible gaa into the pit has not been used. Subsequent
examination showed that gee of this description was gene-
rated in the pit itself, in enormous quantities, and that the
apparatus would therefore be union.
This evening a conference of mining engineers has been
held at the Company's °filen', at which Mr. N. Wood, of
Newcastle, the eminent engineer, who was specially sent for,
was present. After a long and anxious deliberation it was
decided to recommend to the proprietors that a jet of steam
be thrown into the pit, that water his thrown into the
workings, and that Mr.Webetcv and Mr. Maddison take charge
of the operations. These recommendations will be carried
out by the proprietors. After reining to this decision the
conference adjourned until Wednesday.
Experiments have been made to ascertain whether the fire
in the pit is yet extinguished. Pines of wood, with tarry
rope attached, have been let down to the bottom of the air-
shaft and drawn up again, and as the wood and rope have
come up without being ignited, it is assumed that the tire is
extinguished-61=y rate in the vicinity of the air-shaft. It
would, however, be highly dangerous to remove the coverings
from the shafts, and allow the air to re-enter the pit, as the
current would certainly canoe the conflagration to spring up
again if it is not yet extinct, and perhaps give rise to another
explosion. Probably the means taken will hase the effect of
making it safe to open the pit when the conference is held
next Wednesday. Till then no new step will ho taken.

With regard to our own affairs, the general im-

inactivity of the naval and military chiefs, and the

Jusr INDIAN !MANCE.

(From the Efewsweirr.)

So far as maids the immediate wants of the East
India Company, we learn from the speech of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer that there ia no immediate nexasity ex
resorting to the imperial cerement for aid either by way se
ken or of guarantee ; and, looking to the fact that parlia-
ment la about to separate, In all probability for mix months,
there can be no doubt that both on the Fee of the go.
vernment mid of the East Indian authorities the possnilitysf
any such assistance being required has bean maturely
dared; because if there was any chance whatever of moms
being had to the government ter aid, It could ant Impost
without the consent of perliament, and the het that se
such application I. about is ha made, is the beat gem*
it is net expected that say such ehd will be reqoirei at kid
before next year, if at .11. To say nothing ot Ws vail
means which the Bast India Company hal of ramatiat as
home treasury by drafts upon India, which no doubt k sat
be anxious to curtail to the smallest posrible amount at tertime, it appears that on the Ist of Play it pommel fir& I
the shape of money, Exchequer bills and bonds, satitock la
the public bend., all at its disposal, amounting to 1,903,610,
or close upon lour milliner; and we understand that de
Company have as unexhausted power of laming buds to ths
extent of 3,000,0001. more. Independent therefore of mg
reliance upon India at all, the East India Comer, la this
way may be considered to have at its disposal a sum of aloe
7,000,0001., or fully double the amount usually rewired Is
meeting the annual boron charge..
If funds are required in India for the swamis of the
mutiny, it is probable in the first plate that the pat& voila
will be temporarily suspended, which step of itself will plea
nearly 2,000,000/. in the year at the disport of the gees.
matt foe other purposes. Again, if the East India Campy
am, by falling beck upon its resources at home, diminish is
drafts by one half, that will place a further sum of 1,1300,N0L
at the disposal of the government in India for look raw
dime. And lastly, if it be required fart!si to le
emit the finances in India in commies*. el ebs ra.
usual expenditure, or in consequence of soma Miran
decline in the land revenue collectioen there eia be es
doubt that the government would be able do rein
without any difficulty very large same, by gineg a balked
rate of interest, on the spot. There probably was new a
time in the whole history of India when there misted •
large an mount of accumulated and area of Cleillieri
capital as at this moment. So far, then, as repeal the
English money market, thee appear to he two deist
grounds upon which the unhappy events in India me in
likely to exercise any very perceptible or prejudicial Woe
.ace—first, the crisis in ladle Is not • tinanelak bet a ten•
lazy difliculty ; and, next, so far as Indian dams may Is
indirectly affected, there an good grounds for benefice to
the Indian government ems safely rely upon items keen
on the spot, without resorting to this country for or sr
&taws of that demcription.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT VINCENNES.

A dreadful accident occurred yesterday (Sunday)

morning at the fort of Vincennes. At twenty-five
minutes put two precisely—as was indicated by the
clock in the court of the Castle, which stopped at
the very moment of the catastrophe--a tremendous
explosion was heard, which sounded like that of the
blowing up of a powder magazine, and wu mis-
taken for such an event by the inhabitants of the
town, aroused from their sleep in the dead of
night by the noise. An embankment near the
tower, on the right of the castle, had
slipped and brought down with it two arches
(one above the prison and the other over the guard
house) which fell with a tremendous crash. Eighteen
soldiers were killed. The officer of the guard
escaped by a miracle, and a sergeant and several
soldiers who were buried in dust and rubbish, bur-
rowed their way out with the utmost difficulty.
Marshal Magnan, General Sourvaul, and several
staff officers of the army of Paris, were soon upon
the spot, and took all necessary measures. Its not
thought, however, that any more lives have been
lost than those above mentioned.

SATURDAY Id'

The funds opened this morning at a fresh rise of

per cent., owing chiefly to the positive
statement'
that Government do not contemplate a funding of
Exchequer Bills, and that there is no immediate
prospect of any loan being raised here for the relief
of the Indian Treasury. Operators for the fall, who
bad relied upon a creation of stock, hastened to buy
back, and at one period a total advance of nearly I
per cent over the four o'clock quotations of yester-
day was attained. The rapidity of the rise, however,
provoked realisations on the part of previous specu-
lative buyers, and the advance was wholly lost. At
the close the tendency was again favourable, and the
latest quotations were about 4 per cent. above those
current at 4 o'clock yesterday.
Nearly all the other markets were decidedly
better to-day. The leading British railway stocks
exhibit a fresh rise of 4 to I per cent. Canadian
railway shares were also in great demand, whilst
Indian again engaged considerable attention, and
were well supported at the recent marked advance.

Console, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday
911 to f for the 7th Dec. opened this morning at
911 to 1, touched 91f, receded to 911 to 1, and closed
at 911, " buyers." For money the price may be
considered the same as for the December settlement,
whilst for the Bth of January the closing quotation
was 92, " buyers," or equal to 90/, " buyers," ex div.
The official business report is as follows :—Three
per Cent. Consols, for money, 911, f, 1,1; ditto,
for account (7th December), 91f, 91f, 911; Three
per Cent. Reduced, 901, 1,1, 1, ; New Three per
Cents., 901, f, 4, ; Bank Stock, 2161, 216.
Exchequer Bills remain steady, at their improved
quotation of 4s. discount to par. India Bonds were
more inquired for, and were marked 265. die.

In the'foreign stock market the chief improvement
was in Turkish Six per Cents., which were quoted,
at two o'clock, 891 to 1, for the 16th December; at
& quarter put two, 89/ to 3 ; and at a later hour
still higher. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. also
continue to improve. Other foreign stocks were
very firm.
