NOTES OF THE DAY

India is the "beat diffieutty ". of Lord Palmerston,
as Ireland was of Sir Robert Peel. There must be
some "difficulty" in the way in our Indian Empire,.
when it is found necessary, after the war, to send out
an additional force of 5,000, men. The pretext for this
reinforcement is, that it is found necessary to make up
the number deficient by the discharge of the European
troops. But one would have thought that, tranquillity
having been restored, there would have been such a
reduction of the army possible as would have allowed
for the discharge of quite that number from what
might be considered a war establishment. The case,
however, would appear to be an urgent one ; for the
India House seems to be in a state of extraordinary
anxiety for transports to be taken up immediately, for
the conveyance of additional forces. Another piece of
evidence, confirmatory of one's apprehension that our
military force in India will have to be kept up to the
war standard for some time to come, is presented by the
fact, that as many as seven thousand soldiers' wives are
also to be sent out, in emigrant vessels, as soon as
possible. All this shows verybforcibly how important it
is that our Indian Administration should be in able and
safe hands.

It is deeply to be regretted, that the master Waert3

SHIP RAILWAY FROM THE MEDITER-
RANEAN TO THE RED SEA.

The success of the ship-lifting apparatus'at the Vie:,
toria Docks has led to the above suggestion, piers u`
piling would be erected at each port, vessels would be
lifted and lowered by hydraulic power. The trans'
would be effected in cradles resting on five lines of rail-
way, and a speed of twenty miles an hour would be
anticipated,
According to the prospectus of Messrs. Bruntees an
Webb, the cost would be £4,800,000 against 141.,"
.£6,400,000 demanded by M. De Lesseps, which man,
engineers assert would be swollen to £30,000,000.
