nieflacd her Mcjesty's • Government to intro-
duee into the present form of the lonian bovern-
mat, as. the. result of his inquiries. I ;believe
that they were forwarded •to the Colonial Office
on Monday laSt, ina compendious despatch—on dit,
sixty pages. the very briccperiod spent by the

o eertain knowledge -can be' obtained of Mr.
Gladstone's propositions to government. The
lonian Parliament will, however, it is -thought, be
allowed-to meet and petition for the annexation to
GreeCe. This appeal will then be forwarded for
the conaderation of :the British. Parliament, by
whom, •as may easily:be imagined, it naturally will
be rejected. It will also be -forwarded to -the
Powers -that arjr'parties -to the 'Treaty of Paris.
When all these apirils have proVed useless, and
the eyes of the lonian, :representkives Opened to
the hopelessness of their attempts, it may be
anticipated ;that they condescend to 'hear or
reforms. • . ;

It is said that

Jr. Gladstone has recommended
he creation.a two How., to meet for three
months every year. The Upper to be nomi-
nated by the Protectorate, and the Lower by-
popular election, and that they are to sit simul-
taneously. This would to a ,eertain extent be the
British constitution in miniature. Whether such
a system will work satisfactorily maybe considered
very doubtful, inasmuch as all the odium and
responsibility wonlfl fall on the Queen's nominees,
and it is to• be apprehended that the popular
representatives would not work in union with
them.' "

DEAD BODIES SEEN AT SEA.—Capt. Spencer, of the
packet ship Daniel Webster, from London, arrived at
New York, reports Sept. 20, in lat. 43 30, lon. 43, on the
outward passage, passed a large number of dead bodies,
swollen and distorted, with the sea birds preying on them.
They were no doubt of the steam ship Austria's passen-
gers ;„they were nearly together in groups ,of two and
three.

PROPOSED RAILWAY IN THE ISLE OF WIGIIT.—The
attempt to extend the convenience and expedition of
railway travelling to the Isle of Wight is about to be
renewed with every prospect of success. The principal
owners of property have within the last few days held
meetings to promote the formation of a line which, on
the completion of Stokes Bay ferry, will complete the
communidation between the metropolis and Ryde, New-
port, Cowes, and the beautiful little towns of Ventnor
and Bonchurch; the climate of which is pronounced by
medical men to be the most salubrious in the British
Isles. The proposed railway, as laid dovin by Messrs.
Birkinshaw and Conybeare, is to commence close to
the pier at Ryde, and thence proceed to Rowlands,
where it will diverge to the right to Newport, . and
thence, touching at Parkhurst and Northwood to Cowes ;
and to the left proceeding coastward to Sandown by Gat-
ton, to Benchurch and Ventnor, which may be regarded
as the metropolis of the island. The beautiful scenery
and invigorating climate of the Undercliffe will thus
be made accessible to the invalid, without having
recourse to the overland journey across the hills. It
has been urged as an objection to former schemes
for the introduction of railways into the island
that the privacy of her Majesty's marine residence
at Cowes might have been interfered with; but by
the proposed plan care has been taken to lay down the
line in such a manner as to avoid any such interference.
The population of the Isle of Wight, according to the
last census, was 50,324, against 35,431 in 1831, being an
increase of 42 per cent. against 29 per cent., the increase
for all England. The increase of late yaars has been at
the rate of 260 percent. at Ryde, and 225 per cent. at
Ventnor and Bonchurch. The neeessaryplans have been
lodged at the Board of Trade, and the bill is to be
proceeded with in the coming session,
