This company is established for two reasons—first, because
it is wanted ; and second, because it will pay. India wants
cheep means of conveyance for her produce; water conveyance
is cheaper than any possible mode of conveyance by land ; and
ten thousand miles of this cheap water conveyance will be
afforded by the great rivers when properly navigated by steam.
The last dividend of the Ganges Steam Company was 48 per
cent, per annum, and the latest returns of a Navigation Com-
pany on the Godavery was 55 per cent. The field, however,
is far too large to be adequately filled by local effort, and an
le the resources of European science.

The private letters from Paris yesterday state that the
new restrictions adopted on Monday by the Bank of
France caused the greatest anger and consternation
among the speculators, but that some moneyed people
had begun to buy, although not to an amount to stay
the general panic. A salutary intimation was also cir-
culated, that if the Bank of France find their existing
terms insufficient they will adopt others of greater strin-
gency. From the various German cities the advices
continue satisfactory, and, although it appears by tele-
graph that the news of the movements in Paris and Lon-
don on Monday caused a renewed fall, it does nob seem
to have been generally severe. According to the Times
correspondent at Vienna, the specie shown in the last
balance-sheet of the Austrian Bank was 8,103,4701., and
a belief is entertained that it has since increased to
8,700,0001. It was also understood that the adoption
of a gold standard is contemplated on a return to specie
payments in that country.
