The new terms and conditions proposed by the
directors of the East India Company for the construc-
tion of a line of railway in the Bengal Presidency
have been submitted to the directors of the East
India Railway Company, and, it is said, unanimously
accepted. They do not differ materially from those
previously offered, respecting which so many disputes
had arisen, save in two particulars. The proposed
guarantee of five per cent. is not given for a limited
period, but is to continue during the entire term
of ninety-nine years, for which the concession
is to be made, and, secondly, a power is reserved to
the railway company to give up the line to the East
India Company, "at any time they please after six
months' notice in writing—which may be given at
any time after the line first to be made shall have
been finished, and in operation for the space of three
months, but the railroad to be given up in perfect
working condition, both as to the line and the work-
ing stock. They shall then receive payment of the
original capital invested in the actual survey and
construction of the line, either in one sum, or at the
option of Government it may be commuted for
an annuity according to the provisions for the pur-
chase of the railway by the East India Company,"
all claims in respect to the railway having been pre-
viously discharged. These, we say, are the new
features of the present plan. It now remains to be
seen whether the shareholders of the railway com-
panies will adopt the views of the directors, and pay
up the required sum of 1,000,0001. sterling within the
time limited for that purpose.
The selection of the line is to be left to the Indian
Government, " it being understood that the section to
be undertaken in the first instance will be the com-
mencement of the line, which may be determined
from Calcutta towards the upper provinces, so as to
form the commencement of the line leading either to
Mirzapore or to Rajmahal." The shareholders will
therefore have no choice as to the portion that may
be constructed, which may be selected, rather for its
political advantages, than for the prospects it may
afford of a handsome dividend. It is true that
this objection may be partly neutralized by the power
granted to the company of surrendering the line, after
it has been working for three months, and re-
ceiving payment of the original capital invested
zu the actual survey and construction of the line.
Some loss may, however, occur during the working
of the line for the nine months which must elapse
before the surrender could possibly be made. And,
again, considerable expenditure may take place
which might not be considered to have been applied
" to the actual survey and construction of the line,"
or why should the compensation to be given have
been so strictly limited to these*items,? It would,
we think, have been more satisfactory to the capi-
talists, who are about to make the necessary advances
if the exact line to be constructed had been more
accurately defined, and that so wide a discretion
was not allowed to the Indian Government,
who are only bound to select the commencement of
a line running from Calcutta towards the upper
provinces. One terminus only is fixed, and nothing
else is certain.

" The railway is to be made under the supervision
and direction of the East India Company, whose

officers in India or in London shall attest the entire

expenditure, and see that the capital account is pro-
perly kept in the course of construction," There can-

not be any great objection to the proposed supervision
if kept within proper limits. Unless, however, its

extent be properly defined, it may be carried to a
degree of vexatious interference that WI )uld be very
annoying to the railway company. Some further in-
formation should be given on this head al so.

The capital for the execution of what :is very pro-
perly termed " the proposed experimental section," is
to be limited to one million sterling. The proposed
guarantee, which was formerly offered on an amount
not exceeding three millions sterling, wil I now only
extend to one-third of the amount. It Ni 'ill be for
the shareholders to consider what can be of ected with

Fitcatim to
corps are congregated in the vicinity of Koros, of
Telegzbaz, and of Keczkemet, the reserve continues
at Czegled, and the only advantage recorded of late on
the side of the Absolutists appears to have been a
trifling engagement, hard by Hochwiesen, inwhich the
followers of SIMONY' were beaten back upon Comorn.
Even when estimated by those who would wish as
much as possible to underrate the number of soldiers
armed in defence of Hungarian independence, the
army, obedient to the chivalrous voice of KossuTH,
cannot be rated at less than 150,000 men, commanded
by upwards of twenty generals, most of whom have even
now acquired considerable distinction. Under the guid •
ance of KOSSUTH, who may be regarded as the CARROT,
and of BEM, who may be termed the HOCIIE of this
great enterprise in the cause of liberty, there are
now leagued together such eminent captains as Kiss,
as GAEZET, 2S MESZAROS, ELS KOMENITZHY, as
JAROSLAWSRY, as MUROSLAWSKY, as DEMBINSKY7
and as CZARTORNOSEY. Against these officers and
troops, it is true that Austria can oppose, nzt only
her own enormous resources in military power
and genius, but that also of the vast Rus-
sian despotism. Nevertheless, the friends of
Hungary have reason to continue sanguine,
of the ultimate result of the campaign ; for, added to
the innate vigour and devotion of the insurgent
races, the attention, authority, ambition, and re-
sources of their stupendous assailants are being
simultanelpsly diverted into other channels. Austria
has notiotily cause to watch with untiring assiduity
the progress of events beyond the Tyrolean gorges,
but her EMPEROR finds it more than ever essential
to direct his intrigues, his diplomacy, and his autho-
rity;upon the Central Diet at Frankfort-on-the-Maine.
At the same moment the AUTOCRAT must obey the
promptings of his ambition sooner or later—that law-
less ambition which looks beyond the mineral riches
of Moldo-Wallachia towards the oriental provinces
stretching down to the Bosphorus. The forces
dispatched by the Government of St. Petersburgh
into Transylvania will be more willingly directed
along the frontiers of Bessarabia, in the direction of
Constantinople ; and the goal which at this period
may seem to be the battlements of Pesth may before
long be openly removed to the channel of the Dar-
danelles.
Terrible, therefore, as are the odds against Hun-
gary, her great game is very far from being yet
played out. Nor can her success, even when strug-
gling at once against the two EMPERORS, be re-
garded as desperate. She will take heart in the re-
collection of the vassalage in which she has so long
groaned. She will not flinch from encountering
the terrific dangers by which she is surrounded ; and
she will be sustained in her heroic enterprise by the
knowledge of the sanctity of the rights, in vindication
of which she is fighting, and by the instinctive anticipa-
tion of the blessings.of her posterity. The Hungarians
march into battle fired with new courage by the
thought of their nationality, while the Germans are
sustained by the artificial incitement of the thrilling
lays of the poet GRILLPATZER, and especially by that
stirring chorus, " Gluck auf, mein Feldherr, fiihre
den Streich r which has resounded alike under the
banners of RADETZKY and WINDISCHGRATZ, and
which the young EMPEROR, with a just appreciation
of the power of song, has just recompensed by for-
warding to GRILLPATZER from the Imperial Palace
at 011miitz the decoration of the order of St. Leopold.
Still, in defiance of war-song and cannon balls,
Hungary may yet preserve herself from the chains of
tyranny by continuing to maintain that attitude
which will alone honour her in the face of Europe.
Let it never be overlooked by the Hungarians, that
even by the so-called liberal constitution, lately ten-
dered to his subjects by FRANCIS JOSEPH, the
natives of Sclavonia would lose their very mother
tongue—German being there declared to be the official
language in all the heterogeneous dominions under the
rule of the KAISER. They have to fight, therefore,
not merely for " their hearths and their altars," but
for the preservation of their language, of their na-
tionality, of their existence, and not only for the
preservation of their existence, but of their memory.
It is whispered in a dastardly foot-note by the
reach' onnaires, that Kossurn is soliciting from France
and England their joint mediation. The present
attitude of Hungary exposes the turpitude of that
libellous insinuation. KOSSUTH is neither lost to
fame, nor is he doubtful of the Hungarians.
