INDIA.

In spite of the relief afforded by charitable grain clubs
and local funds, the distress in Rajpootana is becoming
more intense. The North-West Provinces are in a slightly
better condition, because average seasons, good wages,
and more general prosperity give the inhabitants a better
chance of resisting a famine. The scarcity in this district,
it is hoped, will not be such as to cause loss of life.
Lord Mayo, whose arrival in India has been announced
by telegraph, bad arranged to make a long circuit on his
way to Calcutta. The good people of Madras complained
so much of being passed by that the Governor.
General finally consented to go by way of the Coromandel
city. He will thus visit all the presidential capitals before
commencing his term of office.
Shere Ali and Abdul Rahman are vis-d-vis ; but the
former plays a waiting game, and will not attack. He
becomes stronger every day, and his enemy weaker.
Numerous deserters go over to Shere Ali.
The Mussulman Nawab of the State of Rampore,
man of great piety, has set an example to the rest of the
Indian Empire. By a kind of Maine Law he has prohi-
bited the use of intoxicating drugs throughout his
dominions.

On the other hand the advantages that arise
out of Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN'S proposals are
manifold, and it appears almost incredible that they
should be overlooked by persons of experience and
judgment. The Thames Embankment promises to
be a noble site for the erection of a building that may
be classed among the national undertakings of the
day, and it will be a legacy to future generations that
will indicate our spirit and our right appre-
ciation of the significance of the struc-
ture. however excellent the design of the
Carey-street edifice, the effect would be in a great
measure spoiled by the want of light and air, occa-
sioned by the surrounding structures. On the other
side of the way it is evident that these disadvantages
will not present themselves, for among the pleas
urged in favour of the embankment proposal are
those of light and ventilation. Another point gained
would be the opportunity for display. If we are to
spend so much money and be at so much pains, let
it not be for nothing—let us not hide our light under
a bushel, but do our utmost to improve and adorn
the great city of which we are so justly proud. We
have not the invidious task before us of attaching
blame to any one in the affair, because at
the time when Carey-street was fixed upon
for the site of the new Law Courts the Thames
EMbankment was not in existence, and it was quite
impossible to form an estimate of the change it would
produce in the way if improvement and position
Without indulging in vain regrets for the past, or
anticipating too much for the future, it will behove
us to consider if the present is not the fitting time
for a comprehensive survey of the subject. An ad-
ditional £700,000 is needed to complete the purchase
of the place that has been fixed upon. Surely, then,
before this large sum be advanced in addition to that
which has gone before, it will be advisable to take
heed to our ways and not run counter to the wise
and prudent plan that is put before US. We
do not say that, apart from the additional expen-
diture required for the carrying out of the original
scheme, there is not much to adm;re in the plan of
Sir C. TREVELYAN, but the mention of the increased
outlay tends to confirm and strengthen his argument.
He is interfering with no finished affair, he is check-
ing no fully conceived work, but at a pause in the un-
dertaking, when a notice that more funds will be re-
quired has arrested attention, he puts forward a pro-
posal that is of infinite importance, and may well
challenge interest and attention. We seem to be on
the high road to improvement in some respects in the
comprehensive changes that have taken place in cer-
tain localities, and this project of selecting the
Embankment for the site of the Law Courts
is a golden opportunity not to be lost. It is
a step in the right direction, and if it will require an
effort to carry out the scheme, still it is one that is
deserving of all praise. The public can hardly fail
to appreciate the merits of this plan, and even those
who now hesitate to agree to the change may be in-
duced to give in their adhesion when they have taken
a little time to consider the matter. Whether we
look at our past failures in the way of architecture,
or at our present improvements and alterations of
the metropolis, we shall find cogent reasons to sup-
port this notion. Let it not be said by foreign nations
that ignorance or indolence prevented the adoption of
this noble scheme, when there seemed some chance of
redeeming past errors, and ridd ng the community of
a reproach that was only too true to be beard with
equanimity. The question may not be clearly un-
derstood by all, but let those who doubt consider it
in all its bearings, and they will in all probability
acknowledge the justice of the change that is advo-
cated. A mistake now made cannot be rectified
hereafter, and therefore time and trouble are not
thrown away in looking at the scheme in all its
bearings. It may be truly affirmed that a little more
care and caution at the outset of these undertakings
would be followed by the happiest results, and if more
consideration bad been given to the structures around
us before they were definitively fixed upon, the Lon-
doner of to-day would have less cause to be ashamed,
and would be spared the mortifying reflection that
large sums have been epent in vain, for the one thing
ne(dful has been omitted, and nothing can compen-
sate for its absence.

THE interest excited in commercial circles by the
" Overend. and Gurney " trial becomes more intense.
It is impossible to say when the present preliminary
investigation will be over. Until it is over we should
do wrongly to comment upon the merits of the
case. There are, however, one or two circumstances
connected with it which may be noticed without pre-
judice to the defendants, In the first place, sufficient

COURT-31ARTIAL ON CAPTAIN A.

WIL3I,SHURST.

PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 9.
The court re-assembled at 9.30 this morning.
The first witness called was Navy Lieutenant
Molloy, who was re examined in relation to the
provisions landed from the Rajusthan, and the
distance between the pier-head at Ascension and
the storehouses on the island.

Mr. Lewis, paymaster of the Flora, was the next
witness examined relative to the drawing up and
signing of the statement and the bond respecting
the wreck of the Bremensis, and the delivery of the
cotton for conveyance to England in the Rejusthan.
The examination and cross-examination of this
witness was not concluded until past five o'clock,
but nothing of any importance was elicited the
whole day.

The last witness closed the case for the prosecu-
tion, and the prisoner requesting time to prepare
his defence, the Court granted him till Wednesday
morning.
The Court adjourned at 5.20 p.m.

ILIILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH-EASTERN.

The total traffic receipts on the company's lines,
after deducting cost of collecting and delivering
goods, &c., and adding the receipts for rents and
sundries, and also for steam packet service, to the
traffic, amounted for the 20 weeks and one day,
ending the 19th of December last, to £620,886, and
the expenditure, including rates, taxes, tolls, Go-
vernment duty, and expenses of steam packet ser-
vice, to £268,127, leaving a net return of £352,759.

Orders were received at Chatham garrison yes-
terday from the Horse Guards, directing reinforce-
ments for the Ist Battalion of the 2d (Queen's
Royals) Regiment to be held in readiness to embark
for India, on board her Majesty's iron steam troop-
ship Serapis, 3, 700-horse power, Capt. J. C. Soady,
to join the service companies of the regiment in the
Bombay Presidency.
A draught of the 84th Regiment about to pro-
ceed to Jamaica is expected to leave Colchester on
Friday.
Three pensions for distinguished or meritorious
service have been placed at the disposal of his
Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-
in-Chief, by the deaths of Major-General W.
Hamilton, C. 8., and Col. A. F. W. Wyatt, C. 8.,
65th Regiment, and the appointment of Major-Gen.
C. Trollope, C. 8., to the colonelcy of the 53d Regi-
ment.

The screw steam frigate Liffey, 31, Captain
John 0. Johnson, which left Plymouth on the 30th
of September, returned to the Sound on Friday.
After disembarking at Colon supernumeraries for
the Pacific squadron she proceeded to Jamaica and
Bermuda, where orders for her immedate return
were waiting. She left on the 22d of December,
and brings home Lieutenant Fryer and 100 inva-
lids and time-expired men belonging to the 61st
Regiment.
"The crew of the double screw composite gun-
vessel Lynx, 2, Commander James W. East, at
Plymouth, were inspected on Saturday by Captain
Preedy, of the Royal Adelaide. The Fly was in-
spected to-day.
The new double-screw composite gun-vessel
Growler, 2, built at Glasgow, which put into Pem-
broke, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday.
Her Majesty's screw steam storeship Fox, 2,
Staff-Commander John IH. Allard, from Pem-
broke, arrived in the Sound on Saturday morning,
having in tow the brig Cambria, of Shoreham, from
Swansea, with patent fuel for Alexandria. The
brig lost her rudder in a heavy gale from W.S.W.
on the 21st of December, in lat. 47 27 N., long. 8
38 W., where all her boats were washed away.
On the 2d inst. she was taken in tow by the
schooner Tantivy, of Yarmouth, but the tow ropes
having broken the schooner was compelled to leave
the brig. The Fox picked her up on the 6th inst.,
at 3 p.m., 12 miles south of the Smalls. Two of
the brig's crew, being prostrated, were transferred
to the Fox.

REMARKS.
Since Saturday atmospherical pressure over the British Isles has
generally diminished, and its distribution is somewhat changed, the
lowest readings being now in the S.W. of Ireland. At Valencia
there has been, however, a rise since yesterday morning, but at other
stations pressures have slightly diminished : the difference in read-
ings between Yarmouth and Valencia is o'3ln. Temperature is
generally lower ; tne fall has been most on our E. coast. Fresh
south-easterly winds prevailed yesterday on the Channel coast and in
the S. of Ireland, but elsewhere they were generally southerly and
moderate. This morning the wind at southern stations is south-
easterly. fA considerable amount of rain has fallen in the S. of
Ireland since yesterday. Fog and mist were reported yesterday, and
still continue in places. The sky is generally overcast.

TF' COI FERENCE ON THE EASTERN

QUESTION.

In addition to the double screw iron armour-
plated turret ship Cerberus, 2, 250 horse power,
just completed at the yard of the Palmer Ship-
building Company, Jarrow-on-Tyne, for the de-
fence of Melbourne, the Government has ordered
two other armour plated turret ships—the Abys-
sinia and the Magdala to be constructed for the
defence of Bombay, both vessels being built from
the same drawings and patterns as the Cerberus.
The contract for building the Abyssinia has been
taken by Messrs. Dudgeon, of Poplar, and that for
the Magdala by the Thames Iron Shipbuilding
Company, Blackwall.

A curious little difficulty intervened at the last moment
during the winding up of the arrangements for the Con-
ference. The Austrian Ambassadar, Prince Metternich,
desired to represent both Austria and Hungary,
hut Russia and Prussia objected to this double quali-
fication. They would recognise Prince Metternich only
as the representative of the Emperor Francis Joseph.
This trifling obstacle was, however, speedily surmounted.
There can be no doubt that one Ambassador cannot sit
for two Powers. Prince Metternich could not be the
envoy both of Austria and Hungary ; but he could repre-
sent the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, which is now the
title of Francis Joseph's dominions. The Turkish
Minister received part of his instructions in
writing, and the rest by telegraph. It is noto-
rious that the PL Ito was the last to consent to the
Conference, and only did so with extreme reluctance.
The Presse says that the son-in-law of the French Foreign
Minister will be charged with the duty of secretary. The
ilioniteur affirms that the most complete accord exists
between Austria, France, and England. Italy ranges
herself on the same side.

A man named Bourke has been sentenced to six
months' imprisonment at the Sligo quarter sessions for riot-
ing at the late borough election. Several others received
somewhat shorter sentences.

At a meeting of the Metropolitan Commanding
Officers, held on Friday afternoon, the question of the place
of holding the forthcoming Easter Volunteer review was
discussed, and the committee appointed to report at the next
meetinz.

TERMINATION OF THE RUFFORD lIUNT.—This
fashionable and old-established hunt will come to a close
at the end of the present season. A meeting on the sub-
ject was held at 011erton, Notts, on Monday, when Earl
Manvers, the Speaker, Mr. S wile, the Hon. Col. Monck-
ton, Mr. Manners Sutton, Colonel Welfitt, Colonel Bod-
dam, and others, were present. A letter from the master,
Mr. Harvey Bailey, was read, in which he tendered his
resigtlation, the chief reason being that foxes aro scarce,
not being preserved properly. A resolution was unani-
mously passed " That Mr. Bailey has fully and honour-
ably acquitted himself of all his engagements to the coun-
try ; that he has shown very good sport, and is entitled
to the thanks of all members of the hunt." It was then
decided that at the close of the season the hunt should
don and the bounds Da avid.

TUE LAW BUSINESS OF THE NEW TERM.

The common law cause lists shew a large amount of
business for the term commencing to-day. In the Queen's
Bench new trial paper there is one case standing for judg•
ment and sixty for argument. In the special paper
there are four for judgment—amongst them Phillips
v. Eyre and forty-nine for argument. In the
enlarged rule paper there are eight cases for
argument and three motions standing for judgment. In
the Crown paper there are thirty-six cases for argument.
In the Common Pleas new trial paper there are four
enlarged rules, five matters for judgment, twenty-two
for argument, and three postponed motions. There are
thirty-six cases for argument in the special paper, andthere
are seventeen registration:appeals. In the Exchequer there
are three matters in the peremptory paper ; in the new
trial paper three cases standing for judgment, and twenty-
two for argument ; and in the special paper there are
eleven cases for argument. In the Exchequer Chamber
there are two for judgment, and four for argument from
the Queen's Bench ; four for argument from the Common
Pleas ; and one for judgment and seven for argument from
the Exchequer.—Law Times.

ONE WAY OF OBT-4INI.YG EVIDENCE.

Another " attachment" motion in connection with an
election petition was made on Friday in Dublin, before
Mr. Justice Keogh, on behalf Mr. Francis Russell, M.P.
for Limerick city. The attachment was sought against
four persons—Abraham, Corbett, Gamble, and Guinan—
on the ground that they had attempted to interfere with
the pending petition, and that they were guilty of a con
tempt of court. The affidavit set forth that they had
posted a certain placard in Limerick, and " offered money
for the subornation of perjury." The placard contained
an extract from an article of the Freeman's Journal,
which stated
,that persons giving evidence in
election petitions would free themselves from all
risk of punishment, and "be well compensated in
addition." Affidavits were sworn to the effect that Corbett,
Abraham, and others tendered sums of from £lO to £25 to
various persons. " Abraham (as one Nicholas Dorr
alleged) said to him that if he would swear before a magis-
trate that he got money for his vote he would give him
£20." Counsel characterised such proceedings as shocking
in the extreme. Counter affidavits stated that money had
been offered "to discover the bribery committed at the
election," but "not to induce the committing of perjury."
Mr. Justice Keogh said that counsel had failed to convince
him that he ought to exercise an extraordinary jurisdic-
tion in the case.
