EXPEDITING THE CONVEYANCE OF THE INDIAN MAIL.
—The Valetta, a new paddle-wheel steamer, belonging
to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, arrived at
Southampton yesterday. She will in a day or two pro-
ceed on a trial trip to Cherbourg, and then proceed to
the Mediterranean, to convey the India mail between
Malta and Marseilles. The Valetta has greater steam
power, compared with her tonnage, than the Queen's
yacht Fairy. In about six weeks a sister ship will join
her on the Malta and Marseilles station. It is then
expected that Indian news will reach England quicker
by way of Marseilles than by way of. Trieste. As soon
as the Valetta gets to Malta the Euxine or Sultan
steamer now conveying the Indian Mail to and from
Marseilles, will proceed to Constantinople for cargo for
England.
KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—The Rev. Dr. Hooke,
the vicar of Leeds, yesterday morning preached a ser-
mon in the chapel of King's College, in aid of the funds of
King's College Hospital, and took for his text the words
of the Epistle to the Romans, chap. 7, v. 22 and 23.
At the conclusion of his discourse the rev, gentleman
made an eloquent appeal to his hearers for their support
of an institution, the object of which was to relieve the
suffering and afflicted poor, and which. had rendered
assistance during the past year to 42,000, and since its
foundation to 230,000 poor persons. At the offertory
the sum of 651. was collected on behalf of the funds of
the institution.

ST. PAUL'S, COVENT-GARDEN.--Yesterday the Right
Rev, the Lord Bishop of Oxford preached at the parish
church of St. Paul, Covent-garden, in aid of the paro-
chial schools, to a most numerous awl fashionable
auditory. The rev. prelate selected for his text the Bth
chapter of the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans,
and 18th verse :—" For I reckon that the sufferings of
this present time are not worthy to be compared with
the glory which shall be revealed in us." After an im-
pressive and eloquent discourse, a collection was made
of 45/. 7s.

RAILWAY MOVEMENTS IN SUSSEX.—NOW that the ad-
vantages of railways are fully understood, and it is
found that not only the public convenience, but that the
value of property is increased by proximity to the iron
roads, those localities now isolated are beginning to be-
stir themselves with right goodwill to effect arrange-
ments by which they may be brought within the stream
of traffic. From Petworth we hear of estimates, preli-
minary surveys, and other notes of preparation, betoken-
ing that the inhabitants are quite alive to the uncomfort-
able " out-of-the-world" position in which they stand.
Steyning, too, is again on the move. A deputation
from a public meeting has waited on the Directors of
the London and Brighton Railway, who are stated to
have expressed themselves favourably towards a Steying
branch. The long-contemplated line from Lewes to
Tunbridge Wells is also again agitated, and we observe
that Uckfield is particularly anxious to be included in
the route chosen.—Brighton Guardian.
A WONDERFUL CINDER.—In the Rotunda, at Wool-
wich, amongst other curiosities which are there to be
seen by the public, is preserved in a glass case, a cinder,
the produce entirely of bank notes, burnt in an oven
built for the purpose. The issue of one-pound notes
during the war was averaged at a hundred thousand
daily. After the calling in of these notes, and the pay-
ment of cash, the Bank of England ordered the burning
of the notes above a certain date, whichlprocess occupied
rate, the
thirteen months, at the average of 144,0001. daily. At
