ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE.

Alleged mismanagement in the affairs of
Herat by the Indian Government, induces
the writer on this topic to propose some
prescriptive remedies, the chief of which are,
the necessity of forthwith occupying Herat as-
the key to India, and the interference of the
British upon the treachery and conduct of Kam-
ram Shah. " Steam Navigation between India
and England," announces the fact that a cotn-
munication twice a month between England and
Alexandria is now in process of establishment.
" Kishun Koover—a Tragedy" is the first in-
stance _ of a dramatic work that has appeared in
English from the pen of a Hindoo. It is written
by Soob Row, Dewan or Prime Minister to the
intelligent Rajah of Travancore, and is founded
on Rajpoot incidents. " Sugar and Coffee Trade
of the World in 1839" shows by comparison those
countries from which our colonies have most to
dread competition; but as the statistics on which
the paper is grounded are somewhat old of date,
and cultivation has since then very largely ex-
tended, the paper loses the value it would other;
wise possess, had it been based on present data.

dead bodies were washed on shore on the 27th ult, near
Vauville iii.d d'Audervill. The coast was strewed with
fragments of one or more wrecks, although no vessels
had been perceived on the coast. It was supposed that
these unfortunate men had belonged to some trading
vessels, which left Charbourg a few days previously.
LINCOLN, Nov. 3.—(From a Correspondent.)
Inclosed is a proof as to how the Tories would stand at
Lincoln with an extension of the Suffrage. The great
body of the people, anxious to rescue our city from the
disgrace into which a few of their more privileged,
fellow-citizens, (the householders), had plunged it by
the disgraceful result of the late city election, have nobly
stepped forward, fought the Tories in their strongholds,
and honourably beaten them, and we can beat them,
and we will again. We have received the state of the
poll, and are glad to find that the Liberals have done
their duty. No Tory has been returned.

The address states that, since the late law
of equalization of duty, the price of colonial sugar has
again fallen, the raw sugar No. 4, which was at the time
of the passing of the law 108 francs, being now 104
francs the hundred kilogrammes (224 pounds English),
with the prospect of a further fall, as the stock on hand
is very large, that is to say, at least 23,000 barrels at
Havre, and about the same quantity in the other ports
of the kingdom collectively. The address ascribes the
dtpression of colonial sugars to the encouragement given
to the manufacture of beet-root sugar, and replies to the
argument which has been urged in support of that en-
couragement, viz., the necessity of encouraging agricul-
ture, by stating that 80,000 hectares (200,000 acres)
of land planted with beet -root will yield 120 millions
of kilogrammes of sugar, the entire annual consumption
of France. 80,000 hectares, say the petitioners, are
only the twelfth part of a single department, the Gi-
ronde, and they deny, therefore, that for so limited an
interest as this, the interests of the colonists and stip-
mars should be SaCriaCede
