memoralise Government to appoint a royal commission
to inquire into the best mode for crossing the Clyde by a
railway bridge, and which was under discussion when
the council adjourned last week, Mr. Bryson wished to
know if it was true that a royal commission bad been
already issued for the purpose of disposing of thi,
question of crossing the Clyde. If any gentleman could
inform that this' commission had been really issued,
it would be useless to take up the time of the
council in discussing a subject which had already been
disposed of. The Lord Dean of Guild, Leadbetter, was
about to communicate the information on this subject,
which he had received since last meeting of council.
The memorial on V.is subject, agreed to at the recent
public meeting, had been presented to Lord John Rus-
sell, and the interview which the deputation had with
his Lordship was of such a nature as to give a perfect
conviction that this subject would be taken up and set-
tled ; but as there was now a new railway board, to
which had been transferred all the powers of the Board
of Trade, the memorials which were sent up from Glas-
gow on the subject of a railway crossing the Clyde had
been remitted to that new board, to be attended to by
them. He had the satisfaction to have received an ac
knowledgment from Lord John Russell's secretary to
the same effect, in reply to the memorial of the Mer-
chants' House on this subject. In these circumstances,
he thought it unnecessary to persist in the motion which
he had submitted to the council last week, as the public
discussion had served all the purpose. Mr. Leadbetter
read the reply to the Merchants' House, which staled
that the memorial would be referred to the newly-ap-
pointed Railway Board for their immediate considera-
tion. He continued, " I know from information I have
obtained that the opinion of Lord John Russell is,
that the queition is of such importance that
it should be settled by an independent tribunal. My
opinion is, that when the subject is referred to that
board, they will put themselves in communication with
the authorities here." Mr. Bryson—" I wish it then to
be distinctly understood from the Lord Dean of Guild
that no royal commission has been appointed." Baillie
Whitehead then gave notice for next meeting of council,
that they should memorialise the Government to the
effect that, whatever commission is appointed, they shall
not consider the question open as to crossing the river
below Stockwell-bridge.
CHEERING NEWS FOR THE NARROW GAUGE.--" We
learn," says the Builder, " from what may be consi-
dered competent authority, that a new narrow gauge
engine, far superior to the present narrow gauge loco-
motive in speed and power, has just been completed. It
is stated to be equal to an average speed of 60 miles per
hour with a train of twelve carriages, of about sixty-
six tons.

LONDON, TIIURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1316.

The hurried departure of the Governor-General cf
Bombay for England, in consequence of his alarm-
ing indisposition, has been productive of the extra-
ordinary express from India published in another
portion of The Sun. By the resignation of Sir
GEORGE ARTHUR—a resignation which, from his
protracted illness, has been long anticipated—the
government of Bombay is temporarily placed under
the direction of the Honourable Mr. REID, senior
member of the Council. Whoever may be selected
to succeed the late Governor-General will be wel-
comed with enthusiasm by the colonists, if he only
possess a decided character for activity, lenity, and
liberality, some inconvenience having resulted from
the unfortunate state of debility into which the con-
stitution of Sir GEORGE ARTHUR had latterly fallen,
and the consequent dilatoriness superinduced in
the movements of his administration. Whenever
the principal magistrate of any territory is enervated
by disease, the actions of his magistracy are necessa-
rily effete and sluggish. Sir G. CLERK is generally
regarded as the most probable candidate for the ap-
pointment ; but a short time will disclose whether an
office so lucrative and influential will be awarded to
him or to Sir HENRY POTTINGER. The latter would,
undoubtedly, carry with him a vast predominating
Prestige, which might aeigur well for the future com-
mercial and political prosperity of Bombay.
Calamitous accounts are conveyed in the same
transit of the ravages which have followed the ter-
rible appearance of the cholera in Kurrachee.
Fifteen hundred European soldiers are reckoned
in the mortality. This epidemic had how•
ever abated in the district last mentioned,
and by proceeding up the river threatened a similar
desolation to Hyderabad. The violent fever which
had attacked the garrison at Saki< ur was
in like manner disappearing. By the natives
Kurrachee is usually regarded as a sanatorium : by the
Europeans it has, during severe seasons, been found
little more salubrious than Vera Cruz, or even Sierra
Leone. Thousands are suddenly cut off by as
agonising and malignant disease; the streets are
crowded with the lugubrious pomp of funerals ; and
even those individuals who are spared in the visitation
are mourners for its numerous victims. These calami-
ties, which have been for a considerable time of
periodical occurrence, are unquestionably of sufficient
importance to render us desirous for some corrective,
if not for some preventative, measures. -When we
behold our regiments thinned triennially by cholera,
or miasma, or dysentery, or other maladies, our first
question is, and very naturally, How can this be pre-
vented ? Will draining the soil in the vicinity of
barracks be productive of any decided ad-
vantage ? Will levelling the neighbouring
iungles, or burning underwood, decrease

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1846,

An irreparable loss has been sustained by the
English Legislature in the decease of CHARLES, Lord
METCALFE. Statesmen of more brilliant capacities
have undoubtedly been snatched from amongst us by
death—men who have occupied a larger share of
the attention of their contemporaries, either by their
oratorical excellence, their Parliamentary celebrity,
their aptitude for startling diplomacy, or their effi-
ciency as resident Ministers of the empire ; yet, as a
distinguished ruler over our eastern and western de-
pendencies—as the British representative in distant
coloniQs, and during periods of extraordinary political
embarrassment—as a conscientious upholder of the
immunities of the people and of the prerogatives of
the national dignitaries, no public servant has
ever departed this life possessing a more eminent
right to our esteem, or endowed with purer
claims upon the attention of posterity than the
illustrious man whose demise it is now our
melancholy duty to announce. The public services
of Lord AIETCALFE have been the less appreciated
from the remotness of the territories in which they were
performed. Nevertheless, they have been productive of
so much benefit to the population of our most
gigantic colonies, they have organised so much that
was previously and perniciously distracted, but, above
all, they have tended so much to the consolidation of
our Asiatic and American possessions, that their ulti-
mate acknowledgment is inevitable.
Lord METCALFE was accidentally favoured by cir-
cumstances in the developement of his natural capaci•
Cos for the assumption of official responsibility. Born
January 30th, 1785, the younger son of an influential
director of the East India Company and a Member of
Parliament; the offspring of a man possessing so
much interest both in Westminster and in Leaden-
hall-street, that he was created a Baronet in 1802,
CHARLES THEOPHILUS MwrcALrE entered life under
the most propitious auspices. After a somewhat pre-
cipitate education at Eton, where the amenity of his
disposition and the precocity of his intellect were
conspicuously evinced, he was dispatched to India in
1800 upon his first appointment in the civil service.
When his great personal merits, the acuteness of his
judgment, the rapidity of his deductions, and the
exceeding suavity of his deportment are remembered,
it is not surprising that he here rapidly advanced to
the most lucrative and authoritative posts, especially
when we consider that his promotion must
have been considerably expedited by the in-
terest still retained by his father in the
Court of Directors. During the period of Lord
METCALFE'S sojourn among the Orientals, the succes-
sive Governors-General of India were Lord WEL-
IESLET, Lord CORNWALLIS, Sir GEORGE BARLOW
(as acting Governor for a few months), Lord .11IiriTo,
Lord 11,Asmos, Lord AMHERST, and Lord Wu,-

The annuities iffered by the Company are on a more favourable
scale than those offered by any o her companies, having been calcu-
lated with reference to the rates of interest obtainable on colonial
investments. Annuita,ts also participate in the profits.
In the colonies, where there is a wide field for the profitable em-
ployment of capital, but a very inadequate supply of it, investments
have always yielded a rate of interest double what is obtainable in
this country with equal security.

The interests of the assured'and annuitants are also protected by
an adequate subscribed capital, and by the control which, by the
deed of settlement, they have over the affairs of the Company.
The following are specimens of the rates of annuity granted for
every 11101. sunk:—

Obi:ening Vint

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1846,

The hurried departure of the Governor-General cf
Bombay for England, in consequence of his alarm-
ing indisposition, has been productive of the extra-
ordinary express from India published in another
portion of The Sun. By the resignation of Sir
GEORGE ARTHUR—a resignation which, from his
protracted illness, has been long anticipated—the
government of Bombay is temporarily placed under
the direction of the Honourable Mr. REID, senior
member of the Council. Whoever may be selected
to succeed the late Governor-General will be wel-
comed with enthusiasm by the colonists, if he only
possess a decided character for activity, lenity, and
liberality, some inconvenience having resulted from
the unfortunate state of debility into which the con-
stitution of Sir GEORGE ARTHUR had latterly fallen,
and the consequent dilatoriness superinduced in
the movements of his administration. Whenever
the principal magistrate of any territory is enervated
by disease, the actions of his magistracy are necessa-
rily effete and sluggish. Sir G. CLERK is generally
regarded as the most probable candidate for the ap-
pointment; but a short time will disclose whether an
office so lucrative and influential will be awarded to
him or to Sir HENRY POTTINGER. The latter would,
undoubtedly, carry with him a vast predominating
prestige, which might augur well for the future com-
mercial and political prosperity of Bombay.
Calamitous accounts are conveyed in the same
transit of the ravages which have followed the ter-
rible appearance of the cholera in Kurrachee.
Fifteen hundred European soldiers are reckoned
in the mortality. This epidemic had how-
ever abated in the district last mentioned,
and by proceeding up the river threatened a similar
desolation to Hyderabad. The violent fever which
had attacked the garrison at Sukli ur was
in like manner disappearing. By the natives
Kurrachee is usually regarded as a sanatorium : by the
Europeans it has, during severe seasons, been found
little more salubrious than -Vera Cruz, or even Sierra
Leone. Thousands are suddenly cut off by an
agonising and malignant disease; the streets are
crowded with the lugubrious pomp of funerals ; and
even those individuals who are spared in the visitation
are mourners for its numerous victims. These calami-
ties, which have been for a considerable time of
periodical occurrence, are unquestionably of sufficient
importance to render us desirous for some corrective,
if not for some preventative, measures. When we
behold our regiments thinned triennially by cholera,
or miasma, or dysentery, or other maladies, our first
question is, and very naturally, How can this be pre-
vented ? Will draining the soil in the vicinity of
barracks be productive of any decided ad-
vantage ? Will levelling the neighbouring
jungles, -or burning the underwood, decrease

A most suggestive subject is selected for the
opening paper to this month's magazine—" Chris-

regarded as a forced antithesis, but intrinsically the
article is one of the deepest importance. It will be
perused with interest, as will most of the other con-
tributions.

ROYAL GEMS FROM THE GALLERIES OF
EUROPE. Part V.

This splendid series of engravings, copied from the
canvass of eminent masters by the needles of eminent
engravers, is not merely as excellent as upon its
commencement, but is infinitely more merito-
rious. " The Jew's Harp," by Sir David
Wilkie, is capital. The cross hatching is clear
and neat, and the effect of the whole true to the
original. The player looks the vibrations of the
harp's tongue ! A most interesting picture
of Napoleon in the prison of Nice, 1794,
follows. It is a clever representation of not
the least singular or romantic incident in
the history of the greatest of men. " Going to the
Ferry," by Wouvermans, is an engraving worthy of
accompanying the two preceding ones ; the original
painting is too notoriously admirable to require any
commendation.

citizens not to permit their servants or children to go
out after eight o'clock at night, and, prohibiting groups

considerable numbers of people assembled this evening,
as they did yesterday, who, singing the song of

streets, but hitherto (ten o'clock in the evening) appears

BOW-STREE 1_.77-(THIS D►AY.)

Peter Rough, a powerful-looking young man, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with
cutting and wounding his sister-in-law, Norah Raugh.
While the complainant was giving her evidence, the pri-
soner's father, James Rough, was in Court, and con-
ducted himself in a very disorderly manner, and, as she
stated that he had committed an assault upon her, he was
placed at the bar with his son.
The complainant, who was covered with blood, and was
so faint as hardly to be able to give her evidence, said
that she lived with her husband in the same house with
the prisoners and their family. She had a quarrel with
her husband this morning, in which the prisoners took
part, and on her remonstrating with them, the younger
prisoner snatched up a knife and stabbed her in the
side. He also struck her and kicked her several times,
and beat her about the- head with an iron saucepan. She
managed to get the saucepan from him and• threw it
out of the window. While this was going on the elder
prisoner struck and kicked her, and so did his daughter
and another woman who was present. In fact, she was
set upon at once by five persons—the two prisoners, her
husband, and the women she spoke of. She wished to
have the latter apprehended.
The iron saucepan spoken of by this witness was
produced by policeman F 131, who had taken the
younger prisoner into custody.
The prisoners were very vehement and disorderly in
their defence ; so much so, that, while they were both
talking loudly together, neither the magistrate nor any
one else could understand a word of what they said.
The policeman said that the complainant charged her
husband with beating her with a poker last night, but
the inspector would not entertain the charge.
Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoners till Saturday,
but said he would admit James 'laugh to bail, if he could
give two sureties in 101. each for his appearance on that
day. They must also be bound for his keeping the peace
in the mean time. The younger prisoner must remain
in custody, as his was a much more serious charge.

TIME TABLES, ON A NEW AND SIMPLI-

_VIED PLAN. By Thomas Reader.
These tables show by inspection, without any cal-
culation, the number of days from any given day in
the year to any other day, and will therefore won-
derfully facilitate all operations connected with the
discounting of bills, and the calculation of interest
on banking and current accounts; and from their
simplicity of arrangement, facility of reference, and
extensive applicability, cannot but be of the greatest
service in all cases where calculations of time are re-
quired. Indeed, no counting-house can be considered
as completely furnished if these tables are not to be
found on its shelves.

KNIGHT'S MONTHLY VOLUME. Part 111.

This part consists of a reprint of Lord Brougham's
two celebrated discourses ; the first, on the Objects,
Advantages, and Pleasures of Science, which was
originallypublished as the introductory treatise to the
" Library of Useful Knowledge ;" the second, on the
Objects, Pleasures and Advantages of Political Know-
ledge, which was published at a later period in an in-
troductory treatise to Lord Brougham's " Political
Philosophy."

RETURN OF HER MAJESTY AND

THE COURT TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 9.—Soon after nine o'clock this
morning, the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with the
royal standard flying, and accompanied by the Fairy,
Black Eagle, and Garland steamers,was observed stand-
ing round Egypt Point, West Cowes, and immediately
after the batteries at Cowes Castle and Fort Monkton
fired royal salutes, and the vessels of the Yacht Club
began to decorate with flags. At nine o'clock the Vic-
toria and Albert anchored off Trinity Wharf, and the
royal barge being hoisted out, Lord Adolphus Fitz-
elarence had the honour to steer her Majesty, Prince
Albert, their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal and
Prince of Wales, with some of the royal suite, to the
shore, and her Majesty's carriages being in readiness,
the Queen and the royal party stepped in, and were
driven immediately to Osborne House. At half-past
nine o'clock the royal standard was displayed on the
tower in the grounds. The ladies of her Majesty's
suite, with Earl Spencer and Lord Palmerston, and the
equerries and attendants, and their baggage, were dis-
embarked without delay from the four steamers, and
those vessels will come into the harbour to coal and pre-
pare for any further service that her Majesty may re-
quire of them. The Black Eagle will probably go to
Devonport to attend on the Admiralty.
