" It is somewhat singular that, close up under the
roof of the cavern, a copper fish-hook three inches
in length was found. The vertebrae 9f many fish
have been picked up. The lower jaws of mannvalia
are in greater abundance than any other part of the
skeletons.

"Since writing the above, I have again visited
the cave. rule excavations are progressing rapidly
under the superintendence of Mr. Brome, governor
of the military prison. As far as can be judged,
the cave is not very extensive, though its d.?,pth
cannot be ascertained, It is choked with bone
elrth. Another slab of sandstone, about one foot
long and eight inches slightly concave in the
centre, where it is worn and polished by friction,
has been brought out.
" A skull hitirian) was also found to-day, but
broken into many pieces. Its position when taken
out was about fourteen feet from the level of the
ground. Some recent shells, including the common
oyster, have been found at the same level. A few
rolled pebbles have been picked out of the mould
at the depth of twenty feet. All the specimens
found are carefully collected and preserved for in-
spection by competent persons."

which shook India to its foundations, we shall see
that the most sanguine anticipations could hardly
have foretold so rapid an increase. This is only a
sample of what the future of India may be if only
the same principles that regulate our English ad-
ministration are allowed free scope. Sir CHARLES
TREVELYAN is ready, he tells us, to supply funds
to any extent for making cotton roads, and adds
that the want of the cotton cultivation in India in
not money but labour and superintendence. Here
is an excellent field for the energy and enterprise
of our middle classes. The effects of European di-
rection and management have been forcibly shown
in many other branches of Indian commodities, and
if a sufficient number of skilled and energetic
men would undertake the superintendence
of the cotton plantations we should pro-
bably see as great and as rapid a change
in the prospects of the Indian cotton trade
as was visible when the culture of indigo passed in
Bengal to the hands of the Company's agents. Sir
CHARLES TREVELYAN is liberal, as an Indian
financier in the present state of the country has
urgent need to be, in his expenditure on public
works. The following statistics show the rate o

When we add the sum of £238,000 reserved for
cotton, roads, and other works of the kind, we shall
hope for some good results. We are reaping the
reward of our own negligence, as well as of the
misgovernment of past generations, in the tardi-
ness of those results oompared with what
might have been. On this subject Sir CHARLES
TRETELYAN says :—" The lathes of ages cannot be
repaired in a single generation, still less in a year
or two. We must not repeat in India the mistake
made in Ireland, by not distinguishing between the
ultimate capabilities of a country after its resources
have been developed, and the improvements which
are immediately practicable. The soil and labour
of India are so largely engaged in producing indigo,
saltpetre, opium, oil seeds, fibres, and other export-
able commodities, besides this last urgent demand
for cotton, that she can with difficulty meet all the
demands upon her. We are too much accustomed
to look upon India as an inexhaustible fund to be
drawn upon ad libitum. She ought rather to be
regarded as a bank, the many pressing claims upon
which can be answered in full only by making the
most of every available resource." When we re-
member the vast amount of waste land and the lack
of irrigation, besides the old and limited system of
agriculture mostly followed, we shall rather regard
India as a bank, which has a large portion of her
capital lying idle, and profiting neither herself nor
her claimants.

Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN'S Bud get has been
favourably received in Calcutta, as it deserved to be.
At its conclusion he announced his intention of
carrying out a very valuable and necessary
reform. He proposes undertaking a thorough
revision of our Indian public establishments, not
with the object of reducing the expense, but
of rendering them more efficient and satisfactory.
In some iristances two officers from England will
assist an Indian officers in the task of reorganisation.
In others Indian officers will undertake it alone. The
number of ill paid and unprofitable native servants
who still linger in our offices are said to be the cause
of much of that corruption which is so difficult to
detect and so disastrous in its effects. It is not
intended to !educe the salaries but to secure the
fittest men for the work. Let a good amount of
work be done in a proper manner and the pay will

be proportionate. Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN has
evidently a clear perception of the real wants of
India, and while his satisfactory budget will give
confidence to the merchant and the capitalist we
hope the enlighted assistance he promises to public
works will meet ready assistance from the energy
and enterprise of this country.

It is satisfactory to find from tLe late remarks
of the Crown Prince of PRUSSIA that he at least
takes no part in the late unhappy affairs that have
caused so sad an estrangement between the people
and their rulers. His Royal Highness arrived at
Dantsic. They paid a visit to the Rathhaue, and
were received by the municipal authorities. The
chief magistrate regretted that the untoward cir-
cumstances that had recently taken place prevented
any public rejoicings that might celebrate the visit,
to which the Crown Prince replied, " I also regret
that I have come here at a time when disagreement
has taken place between the Government and the
people, the news of which surprised me greatly ;
being absent, I was unaware of the ordinances
which have brought about this position of affairs,
and took no part in the deliberations when they
were resolved upon." His Royal Highness could
not have spoken more strongly than this, and indeed,
considering the extreme delicacy of his position, we
might well have supposed that he could not say so
much. He could hardly have been placed in a more
awkward situation, and from this he extricated
himself very successfully. He added a few words
about the good wishes of the King for the welfare
of Prussia, which, of course, from him, were genuine,
and were appreciated accordingly. It has long
been hinted and whispered that the CROWN PRINCE
has taken no part in the austere arrangements that
have of late so marred the prospects of
the country, but it is very gratifying thus
to meet with his viva voce testimony to the con-
trary. The perusal of this short discourse will be
very encouraging to all whom it concerns, and it
is a most fortunate coincidence, that just at this
particular juncture an opportunity should have

sents the unfavourable influence of
the long-pro-
tracted constitutional conflict upon the relations of
property, trade, and the public credit, and concludes
by requesting the King to re-establish the consti-
tutional state of affairs by a speedy convocation of
the Diet.

If King WILLIAX chooses to persist in the coarse

already entered upon he will not offer the excuse
that he has not received sufficient warnings as to its
unwise and mischievous tendency. From all sites
thera have been protests, and if these representa
tions have been made quietly they ought to have
had more effect, and those who remonstrated should
have been treated with more respect for their re-
straint and moderation. The address above referred
to brings plainly before the King the importance of
speedily terminating those unseemly contentions.
It shows him that a prolongation of the pre-
sent state of things will be prejudicial to
the vital interests of the community. It
will, therefore, be with open eyes that King
WILLIAM proceeds in his present arrangements for
curtailing the rights of the Constitution, if not
suppressing them altogether. The Press has also
vindicated its claims to consideration in a decided
manner. Six Berlin journals have just published a
joint declaration, "reserving their rights in view of
the Royal Ordinance of the Ist inst. relative to the
Press ; they say that the Government has yet to
furnish the nation with proofs of the legality of
that measure." Altogether there will be a firm
stand made against these innovations, and the
KING and his Ministers will find that theirs is not
a path of roses. It is rumoured that M. BISMARK
is to accompany the KING in his retirement
at Carlsbad. If so it will be a most
unhappy occurrence, for the counsels of that
statesman have been proved to be most pernicious
to the welfare of the State with whose legislation
he has unfortunately so much to do. The late un-
fortunate misunderstandings are mainly owing to
the pernicious influence of the Ministers, who have
done their utmost to foster and encourage all the
tendencies to unconstitutional forms of government
that they have noticed in the King's disposition.
They have insulted the Chamber of Deputies at
every possible opportunity, and then always de-
clared that they acted soltly in regard to the in-
terest of their Sovereign, thus giving him the
odium of their own actions. Sad as affairs are, it is
a positive relief to notice that a decided stand has
been made in some cases to the carrying out of the
Royal decrees, and it is not yet too late to hope that
a quiet resistance may do much to effect its purpose,
and that dark as the present is, the future may
shine out brighter over the distracted kingdom of
Prussia. It is always difficult to trample on those
who steadily resist invasion with calmness but
decision, who do nothing to provoke, but who
also will never yield to oppression.
