THE INDIAN PRESS.

- -
The conduct of a portion of the Indian press cannot.
be too strongly condemned in reference to the recent
actions on the Sutlej, as well as in connexion with the
fearful disaster that befel our arms in Affghanistan sous
time Since. There can be no doubt that the statements
made in these papers—many of which have an enormous
circulation among the natives--have been indirectly the
cause of several of the reverses sustained by our troops,
and it may be also the cause of the Seikh invasion. Ail
anti-English spirit pervades the whole tone of the jour-
nals in question, and it might be doubted whether they
are wr:tten by natives of this country, so violent are
their attacks upon every act of our policy, so eager are
they to point out to friend and foe the week points of our
territory. It is stated that these journals are the pro-
perty of native merchants and native princes, and 0114
that they are concocted by renegades or Americans, av
sisted in their wretched task by the egotism or the anger
of British-Indian officers in actual service. If so, the
anomaly is explained, and the treachery of the writers
accounted for.

The last thing that should be done in a free countrf
is to fetter lite expression of public opinion ; but when
the mischief caused by these anti-national publications
is taken into account, there is hardly a man in the cool'
munity who will not look on a check upon them as the
least of two evils offered for adoption. It is time for the
India Company, therefore, to bestir itself in the matte
r+
to let indigo bags and bales of cotton lie side by slue
for a while with sacks of sugar, chests of spices, and Will
their attention seriously to the modification, it not t e
extirpation, of that canker in the very heart of their so:
vereignty in Asia. The Marquis Wellesley made socu
stringent regulations as prevented much ill from Iva!'
ing through these organs of intelligence. The Indus
Company have not, therefore, to establish a precedent 13,
the case ; and, consequently, they need not, in surpre;
ing tlis moral and political nuisance, incur any Pubat
odium in the matter. At any rate, it were well th.
something was done in regard to it, and done sPeecli.,lii
The risk is enormous, and the injury that may reg'
from inaction is incalculable. Observer.

STATE OF TRADE.—The appearance of the market
continues to improve. Although, owing to the season, no
great amount of business has been done in goods, the market
is firmer, and, in some cases, a slight advance has been ob-
tained. In yarn the improvement is more decided; large
purchases have been made at an advance on some current
numbers of a farthing a pound since yesterday fortnight.----.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 29.—At this
time of the year the flannel market is unusually dull, and
there is very little hope of any change for the better before
the first market, which is the first Monday after the 6th of
January. The wool dealers complain of the limited demand
there is for that article. Prices may be quoted the same as
last Monday.—Manchester Guardian.

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 30.—The Moniteur Beige contains in
its official part the promulgation
1. Of the law which fixes the contingent of the army
for 1846 at 80,000 men. The amount of the levy for
1841 is fixed a t 10,000 men.
2. Of the law authorising the importation of, by
Dutch and Belgian ships, of 4,083,000 kilogrammes of
coffee, the produce of the Dutch colonies at the reduced
duty of 1 lf. 50c. per 100 kilogrammes during the last
seven months of the year 1846, and also of 105,000 kilo-
grammes of tobacco, not of European growth, at the
same duty as that imported under Belgian colours direct
from the place of its production.
The Senate met on Sunday evening, at half-past eight
o'clock, to discuss the project of law relative to the
treaty with the United States. After three hours
deliberation, it was adopted unanimously, on M. Cassiers
declining to vote.

A letter from Antwerp, of the 26tb, says, " The storm
from the south-west still continues, accompanied with
heavy rains. We are still without information from the
river. Several chimney-roofs in the city have been
damaged by the storm."
The Precursier has the following, dated Antwerp,
29th :—" The Princess Victoria steamer has at length
brought in news from Flushing. During• the whole of
yesterday a dreadful storm continued to rage. The
Soho could not put to sea till this morning. It passed
the night in the channel of Terneuse. It is reported
that a vessel has sunk on the coast, between Heist and
Blankenburg. We hope that there is some mistake, and
that this vessel is the Malabar, which has entered
Ostend. It is, however, certain that considerable quan-
tities of wreck have been picked on the coast of Flan-
ders. It is also said that a strange vessel has been lost
on the bank of Calloe, N.E. of West Cappel, but nothing
certain is kmown."

COFFEE.

The following items from Ceylon relative to planting
prospects are of some use in forming an estimate of the
probable supply of coffee from that quarter:—" The
bustle and excitement of crop picking has, during the
month, completely engrossed the attention of the plant-
ing community, and work appears to have gone on in a
most satisfactory manner.
" The month of October, like its predecessors, was for
the most part dry and sunny, affording every facility for
curing, and large quantities of well-dried coffee have
been dispatched from most of the finest properties in the
island ; heavy crops appear to be general everywhere,
and quality, we imagine, never was finer from the hills.
From the multitude of samples we have before us we
find it difficult to select a favourite, and it is not a little
pleasing to no' ice ti.e almost uniform excellence of qua-
lity yielded by estates in every quarter at a certain eleva-
; the past season—the must unusual and extraor-
dinary on record—which has proved so fatal to some of
the lower districts, appears to have suited to perfection
those more elevated regions, now admitted to be most
congenial to the habits of the coffee shrub. A little
more rain might perhaps have prevented the yellow
foliage now displayed by some trees under the heavy
crops they have matured, but we cannot discover any
material injury tc have resulted, and we may safely as-
sert that the Knuckles, Hunasgirie, PuSilava, Pasbage,
Ambegamoa, and the greater part of Hewahette, will this
year give general satisfaction. We have see❑ beautiful
coffee from each of these districts, a slight difference in
size and colour alone indicating any little superiority in
soil, or degree of care in curing. The worst we note as
good, the best super-excellent.
While, however, contemplating this bright side of the
picture, we do not forget those less fortunate localities
whi re the dry weather has caused such havoc and de-
struction, for certain it is, and each week proves the fact
still more strongly. that we did not exaggerate the extent
of injury sustained. An immense crop of Cherry coffee
on the trees has proved, in many instances, not worth
picking, and on other estates that collected and pulped
has given a serious proportion of light coff?e, and yielded
a berry of small size and indiff rent appearance. This
applies chiefly to those districts lying below 2,000 feet
elevation, where the drought was most severe, and
although the real amount of dead loss will, we hope, be
partal, a sad falling off from expectation will be found in
many a balance-sheet.

"We were glad to notice some very good native
coffee tho other day, which seemed well grown and
cured carefully-, but many of the small native gardens
are burnt up.

‘. The approaching sales of some fine properties in the
central province are exciting interest among speculators,
and will, no doubt, give rise to much competition. Go-
vernment sales are also well attended, and bidders not
scarce."

DEATH BY SCALDING.—An inquest was held
yesterday (Wednesday), before Mr. Delassaux, Coroner, at
Ashford, on the body of a child, named Charlotte Elizabeth
Taswell, whosa death had resulted from scalding. While

top bar of the range broke, and a saucepan of boiling water
fell over, by which she was severely scalded, and died the
same night. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

DECEPTION AND FRAUD.

THE STOMACH and ENEMA PUMPS, in-
vented by J. READ, were sanctioned and approved by the
Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons in London, and by the
most eminent members of the profession in this kingdom, on the
continents of Europe, India, and America (vide the life of Sir Astley
Cooper). This distiugnished patronage induced some unprincipled
adventurers to mint upon the public base imitations of Read's Patent
Instruments, which has come to his knowledge from the number of
paltry instruments which are daily sent him from all parts of the
kingdom, and frequently from India, for repair. As some protection
against this fraud, J. R. has instructions from the lion. East India
Company to place their mark, in future, on all his instruments sent
to their presidencies. But in vain stay an humble mechanician
attempt to defend himself against such wholesale fraud, when Enema
fountain reservoirs, with the incumbrance of chains,-stop cocks, &c.,
are boldly and falsely advertised as " Read's Patent Pumps," which
have no such incumbrances, and which are manufactured only by
himself, at 35, Regent-circus, Piccadilly, where they may be seen
and proved.
N.B. None are genuine except stamped with the words " Read's
Patent."

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
Owing to the late boisterous weather, the arrivals of Eng-
lish Wheat for our markets this week have been unusually
small; and the show of samples of that article to-day was
very limited, and so little doing in it, that prices were almost
nominal In the nbsenen of English Wheat, a few retail
sales Were effected in Foreign Wheat on Monday's terms.
The few parcels of fine Barley on sale produced late prices,
but the middling sorts hung on hand. We had inquiries for
superfine Malt, which sold readily at full prices. Oats were
held firmly, at a trifling advance; but the dealers purchased
only for their immediate wants. Beaus, Peas, and Flour,

DEATIT BY SCALDING.—An inquest was held
yeAterday (Wednesday), before Mr. Delassaux, Coroner, at
Ashford, on the body of a child, named Charlotte Elizabeth
Taswell, whose death had- resulted from scalding. While
seated around the kitchen fire, on the 23d ult., with a number
of other children, she attempted to stir the coals, when the
top bar of the range broke, and a saucepan of boiling water
fell over, by which she was severely scalded, and died the
same night. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

London, England, 1846-12-16

The appearance at each terminus is singular, you see
the whole train ranged in a curve, the bodies of the
coaches forming direct right angles, while the axles con-
verge to a point of the station indicated by shag. The
station bears no resemblance to others ; herb are no
multiplicity of rails, no needles, no turning plates, no
straight lines. The station itself is oval, having the form
of a racket bat, the outlet being, as it were, the handle.
A single line of rail forms the circle of the station, and
the train arriving to discharge its passengers is in a posi-
tion to quit again and make another journey. In prac-
tice at Sceaux and Paris, when the arriving train is near
at hand, the departing one starts, and leaves the circle
the moment the other has enteredit.

On starting from Paris the curves immediately com-
mence, for M. Arnoux seems to have been willing to
give at once a high idea of what his system promises
—curves of 300, 150, 50, and even 30 metres radius!
The engine is seen twisting and accommodating itself to
all the caprices of the road, and heading the train, the
whole appears like a supple serpent moving over the
yellow sand.
From Bonrg-la-Reine to Sceaux the distance by the
carriage road is 1,600 metres, about ten yards less
than a mile ; the difference in level between these
two points is 30 metres, 100 English feet ; to have
gone direct from one place to the other it would have
been necessary to make an inclined plane of 1 in 50,
but the condition of the law imposed the obligation of
ascending by irregular planes and short curves. For
this purpose they adopted a slope of nearly one in a
100, being exactly 11 metres in 1,000 upon a distance
of 3,510 metres. IThe railway route from Bourg-la-
Reine is a straight line of 1,500 metres to tho station
of Fontenay-aux-Roses, then a sudden curve of 36
metres radius takes you back parallel to the road you
have travelled for half the distance, then by a second
sudden curve you ascend the hill still higher, then a
third, then a fourth, and finally you reach Sceaux.
The route may be compared to a zigzag sheep walk up a
hill side.

The line subjected the system of M. Arnoux to a
severe test, which it has stood triumphantly.
In regard to speed, which is no object on this short
line, 20 minutes are occupied on 'the route, there being
three stations on a distance of little more than five
miles, which require much time for discharging and re-
ceiving passengers, express trains, without stoppages,
however, have gone at the rate of 37 miles an hour, not-
withstanding the numerous abrupt curves and steep
ascents before pointed out.
