Nonce TO THE SHIPPING T.NTERET —FREIWIT FOR HORSE
FR,-)31 THE CAPE OF GOOD HOP FOR INDIA. —Notice is here-
by given to ehipowners, collier! and exporters of coal to
the Caps of Good Ileac. and others, that the Governor has

Tits WAR FXPENDITCP.E IN INDIA.—The writer of the
Times article observes that some demand for money is
likely to-be craved by the preparations for the despatch of
troops to Intl& The tonal to be expended in connection
with the steam and other transports lately hired cannot
fell much short of half a million anti as the payment of
two-thirds of the amount is to be delayed till after the
arrival of the vessels in India, the coetractore will hare to
wait nearly six months befure they can be remembered.
Ultimately the remittance franz India will opera o benefi—
cially and serve to ceuateraee the affect of a diminution in
the consignment of goods to that market,
THE PHYSICAL PoNYERS OF ENGLAND.—TiIe physical
power which Euglani derives from the trane'ormation of
the latent power of its el.!l into ac• ice force is scarcely
conceivable by unscientific minds. Professor Rogers of the
Ueited Sates, furuishts us with the foil iwiug estimates :
acre of a cod awn, loir feet in thickness, and yield-
ing one yard nett of pure fuel, is egeivelent to about 5,000
tons, and poss sses, therefore, a reserve of in.,chanical
se.englh in i s fuel egeal to the life labour of more than 1,600
men. Etch teere mile of one such single coal bed contains
3.000,000 of tons of fuel ; equivalent to 10.000,000 of men
lebeurirg through tive,ity years of their ripe strength.
Assuming, for eelcelatien, That 1,000,000 of tons out of
the presevt an-ind volutes of the British coal mines,
namely 6-5.000,000, are alilied to the production of
mechanical puw-r, then England annually summons to
her all an army of 3.300,090 fresh men, pledged to exert
their fulls-v, strength through 20 years. Her actual anneal
expeeli ire of power, then, is represented by 66,000,000
et ehle-hodiel labourers. The I,teet strength resident in

he whole cod product of the kingdom may, by the same
;:roc.!ss, he c:leu:ated at more than 400,000 of strung men,
or'a than douto,, the number of the adult males now
upon the globe.—Mechanic's .11:agazine.
