The buildings of the Calcutta University, for the
construction of which 80,0001. had been origiredly
conceded, had become so enriched and enlarged as
the plans passed through successive hands, that it
was found that a quarter of a million would be re-
quired. This has been again cut down to the sum
first granted, ample it might be imagined for an
edifice, with the delusive name of university, for
pupils who would not be deemed admissible in
point of attainment to a third-rate English aca-
demy, and whom the idle show and preposterous
ostentation paraded before them only fill with
vanity and conceit. India must be educated like
every other country through long, laborious, and
patient exertion, and by beginning at the elemeufs.
It is scarcely yet 30 years since anything deserv-
ing the name of education was known amongst
us at all. The men of that generation have not
yet anything like passed away, who have seen
the day when the belief not yet extinct was
universal, that native enlightenment must
needs prove fatal to English supremacy, and
was, therefore, to be dealt with as dangerous.
At present we are acting as if 30 years
would accomplish in the East that for which three
centuries were required in Europe, the converse of
the proposition being upon the truth ; and are in-
troducing a system only practicable where a love of
knowledge has become general. The result is inevit-
able—long before the century has expired the dis-
covery will be made that the labour and money
now being expended have been something worse
than thrown away ; that the first thing to be done
is to endeavour to undo all we have already at-
tempted, demolish the preposterous structures now
being reared, clear away the rubbish dig fitting
foundations, and commence
building anew.

The past fortnight at Bombay has been occupied
by the discussion of our prospective municipal
arrangements; and the everlasting question of the
Vehar water scheme. With about 60,000/. a year of
municipal funds to be realised and disposed of, it
is found impossible to get the ratepayers to pay the

The Governor-General is at Calcutta, and Lord
Harris
at Madras. Lord Elphinstone is about

only make a short sojourn, his object being to con_

Esa Khan, the Herat general, has again written to
Dost Mahomed, telling him that his position is becom-
ing more critical every day, by the arrival of Persian re-
inforcements, and that he hears also that a large party
of Oozbegs, Toorkmans, and Jumshaidee, which was on
its way to aid the Heratees, had been attacked by the
Persians, and, after much slaughter, entirely routed,
many prisoners having been taken.
The Heratee general urges upon the Ameer the neces-
sity of the latter moving in person to his succour ; but
that if unable to do this, it would be of the greatest itn.
portance to the Iterate° that be should send a division
of his army as far as Frah, stating that some 30,000 Per-
sians are encamped between Mushid and Ghoryan.
The Ameer is stated to be comforted by assurances
from the British authoritits, to the effect that he may
shortly expect such replies to his communications as will
cheer and inspirit him, and is in no hurry to join Esa
Khan, in whom he does not apparently repose great Call-
fidence. In the meantime the Persians are trying to
work on the fears and poverty of the Amster to induce
him to return to Cabul, by sending the grandson of the
Persian commander-in-chief to his highness to coun-
sel him that it would be wise, politic, and.honourable
to all parties that he should retire upon his capital,
Cabul, and be kind to his relations, the brothers and
sons of the late chief of Candahar. The Ameer's blood
rose at this insult, and his reply was to the effect that
the government of Persia should mind its own affairs,
and not pretend to interfere with him or with Herat,
which, being an Affghan city, belonged to the Affghans,
over whom he was ruler. After this spirited reply he
dismissed the envoy to return, as he camp, to Mushid.
The Ameer cannot be accused of cowardice, as this was
done in the face of the desertion (it is said by our corres-
pondent) of 6,000 Affghans, who have gone over to
Herat, and who have been received with open arms and
handsome rewards by the Shazadah Ynsouf.
Sirdar Gholam Khan, some short time ago, despatched
a messenger (a spy) to Herat to collect authentic intel-
ligence, who, having returned, reports that the Persian
besieging force amounts to about 12,000 men of all arms ;
but that both the besiegers and the besieged lie upon
their arms, and do not show the least inclination to
bring matters to an issue by assault or sallying out.
The Shazadah Yusouf has received Mahomed Alum
Rhan, son of the ex-chief Candahar, with great pomp
and honour, and has allowed him to pitch his tent at
some distance from the Persian army.
A. letter superscribed to the Shazadah has been brought
to the Ameer. It contained an unlimited eulogium on
the Prince Ynsouf for his sagacity and courage in get-
ting hold of Herat, and thus making the name and

But his conduct in reply to the advice tendered him
would prove quite the contrary ; and the Arneer is a
great deal too cunning, if not too wise, to give up of his
own accord oven the appearance of British protec-
tion for an uncertainty, until entirely deserted by his
allies. There is, however, no doubt that the Anieer is

The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship
Chusan, with telegraphic reports via Calcutta from
London to the 26th of June, arrived on the sth
August, three weeks from Bombay, followed the
next day by the report bearer to Singapore, the
Fiery Cross, 13 running days only from Calcutta.
The Lightning, also from Calcutta via Penang,
arrived on the morning of Aug. 9. The most re-
markable record of the month elapsed since the
despatch of the previous mail had been the exceed-
ingly inclement weather. In Canton as much as
113 inches of rain fell in 57 days. The foreign
factories ware flooded, communication in some cases
being kept up by boats. Ruin to the provincial
rice crops follows as a matter of course, and great is
the distress anticipated from the conjunction of the
high price of rice and anarchy.
Touching the rebellion, the Overland Friend of
China says :--
"As the rebellion approaches its crisis this subject is
becoming more and more absorbing. News very un-
favourable to the imperialists has recently reached
Shanghai. One report says three cities south-west of Soo-
chow have fallen. The latest intelligence of the rebels
in the neighbourhood of Nanking is that they have been
gaining upon the imperialists, and have taken the town
Keu-yung and a district town in the vicinity of Nan-
king, also Leih-yang, which belongs to the department
of Ching Kiang, and are now besieging the town of
E-sing, in Chang-cho w-foo. The commander-in-chief of
the imperialists, Heang-yung, has been compelled to
withdraw his forces from the neighbourhood of Nanking.
The cavalry under his command have disappeared, and
his other troops are dispirited. The two parties have
lately had two general battles, in both of which the in-
surgents were victors. In the first Governor Keih fell,
and various other high officers were killed. In the last
the chief commander of the day was wounded in the
thigh, and his troops routed by the insurgents. The
whole province of Kiang-Bi, joining Kivang-tung on the
north-east, is now reported as entirely in possession of
the insurgents.
The Peking Gazette (May 22) gives an account of the
loss of Ning-kwoh-foo, about 200 miles west of Shang-
hai :—" On the 7th inst. our local reporter informed us
of the loss of Ung-chow, in Kwang-si, where the rebel-
lion first commenced, and is now going on with power.
The officers in command were wounded, the fortifications
and war junks all taken, excepting nine that made their
escape. Again another despatch came on the 27th ult.,
saying that the market town of Wang-cheng was taken
by the rebels, and one commander perished, The past
month seems to have been an unfortunate period for the
imperialists ; the reports of their losses, like Job's, fo'■
low each other in quick succession ' • but there is one
°lnsolation, it is to be hoped that their loss is the
country's gain."

"The price of gold to sellers remains at 31. 16s. The
entries for shipment at the Custom-house today con-
sisted of 5,739 ounces for Liverpool, 2,020 ounces for
Calcutta, 1,292 ounces for Hong Kong, and 33 ounces
for Sydney. The Customs bill of entry for the week
ended shows an export of 12,466 ounces, of which the
banks shipped 10,555 ounces. The Oriental Bank also
shipped 5,0001. in specie to Ceylon.
" The arrivals for the week ended last night have been
very limited from the neighbouring colonies, but large
from the United Kingdom. Including the Ocean Mon-
, arch six large vessels of over 8,000 tons burden have
entered the bay. The foreign arrivals have been two
from China via Adelaide, one from Manilla, and one
from Boston, U.S. The departures for the week have
been 26 vessels, many of small tonnage, and showing a
balance in favour of upwards of 5,000 tons."
The Age of the same date reports that the escorts
from Mount Alexander and Ballarat had brought
in to Melbourne, on the 27th, 29,109 ounces of
gold, and 28,797 Leash. On June 27th arrived at
Melbourne the ships Oscar I. and Goldfinder from
London, and the James Baines from Liverpool, the
latter having suffered in a squall. An agitation
was afloat for the assimilation of the tariffs in the
Australian colonies. Both at Melbourne and at
Sydney the necessaries of life were exceedingly
cheap, and agricultural produce was selling at
prices which were not remunerative. At Sydney
potatoes were unsaleable at 2s. per cwt. Mr. Fel-
lows, a sound and able lawyer in large practice,
had accepted the office of Solicitor-General of
Victoria. It is hoped that the Chinese, who wore
very numerous in Victoria, might be induced to
engage in making the railways. Both in Melbourne
and Sydney associations had been formed against
government grants to religious denominations.
From South Australia we learn that the Legisla-
tive Council had been prorogued by the Governor,
after having passed measures for initiating the new
constitution. The Governor expressed his hope
that the political power entrusted to the people and
the universal suffrage conceded by the now consti-
tution would prove a safe and conservative mea-
sure. Negotiations were on foot for connecting
Adelaide with Melbourne by electric telegraph.
The following paragraphs from the Governor's
speech will be interesting, not merely from the
curious coincidences of probable cost, &c., of the
projected railway to the River Murray, but for the
distinct enunciation by the Governor of the great
principle that, however convinced himself of the
propriety of the scheme, he could not ask the
Council to commit th9l:llsolTefi to it =Ail they were

The drain of gold from the Bank increases, a further
sum of about 70,0001. having been withdrawn yesterday.
Under these circumstances, although the demand for
money has again been moderate, another advance in the
rate of discount may be looked for at any moment.
RUSSIAN STEAM COMPANIES. —Advicesfrom St. Peters.
burg furnish the details of the recent subsidies granted
by the Russian Government for the formation of steam
companies in the slack Sea and elsewhere. They will
amount annually to between 400,0001. and 5,000,0001.,
the line to Alexandria alone receiving 5r,000/., besides
other privileges. The total capital to be employed is
2,000,0001., and the shares, which were all taken up im-
mediately, now command 10 premium. The vessels are
all to bo built to carry guns "if necessary," and the
movement is regarded by many as a clever mode of
creating and maintaining a navy so as to evade the treaty
of Paris. Some of the lines, it is observed are obviously
such as could never have been formed for legitimate pur-
poses of trade, and the cry is that Russia will now get
effective ships for political purposes at a cheaper rate
than if they were avowedly in Government service. The
same advices mention that the la:e statement in Le Nerd
of the concession for the proposed :.‘et-work of Russian
railways having been finally granted to the Paris Credit
Mobilier, Messrs. Baring, and others Wall ..;tlCOrreCt, or
at loot premature.
