The following letter has bean addressed to a
contemporary
Sir,—The subject of telegraphic communication with
India has been so much More the public lately, and so
many different views and opinions have been expressed
upon it by persons profeesing to be well acquainted with
all the circumstances of the case, that I consider myself
called upon to make, through the medium of your journal,
a simple statement of facts, in the hope that it may place
this important subject before the public in its true light.
In- a letter addressed by me to one of your contempora-
ries, which was published about three months ago, I stated
that I bad been commissioned by the Turkish Government
to purchase the necessary telegraph material for the con-
struction of a lino of telegraph from Constantinople
through Sivas, Diarbekir, Mosul, and Bagdad to Bussorah,
at the head of the Persian Gulf ; that the line was to
consist of two wires ; nat., the Turkish Government had
been induced to enter upon this undertaking in the hope
that the Bri.ish Government would sanction the laying
down of a cable between Kurrachee and Bussaiab, in con-
nection with the Turkish line, thus establishing an unin-
terrupted hue of telegraph between Europa and India;
and that I was engaged in forwarding to the East, in pur-

purpose.

Since.that time I despatched all the telegraphic mate-
rial, consisting:a the very best telegraphic vftre, manu-
factured by Messrs. Johnson, of Manchester ; Sictuen's
instruments ; the newest and most approved insulators,
such as are usedfor our Indian telegraphs ; a c)mplete
assortment of telegraph tools. &c.; all inspected and ap-
proved by ene of our eminent engineers e.eployed by me
for that purpose, in three equal proportions—the. first to
Bussorab, the second to Trebizonde, in the }nick Sea,
from thence to'he transported to Sivas, on the projected
line.; and the third to COnatantineple. The third,eard last
AiDlEfrar4 left Condon six, weeks ago. It is the.intaqtion
of the Snblime Eforte to begin'operationi at three different
points—viz., Constantinople, Sivas, and Bagdad ; by
which means the completion of the line will be much ex-
pedited. Lieut.-Colonel Biddulph, ILA., a very distin-
guished officer, and who acquired great experience in tele-
graph matters while in charge of the telegraph department
in the East during the Crimean war, has been engaged by
the Ottoman Government, with the consent of her
Majesty's Government, as chief executive officer for the
conAruction of the most important section of the line ; and
he lift on the Ist of May lsst for Constantinople, to take
the instructions of the director-general of telegraphs, with
the view of beginning operations without delay. The Turkish
Goveinine,t have also made arrangements for the engage-
ment of the other officers and operatives required for this
service. Omar Pachs, the GoviTnor of Bagdad, has been
instructed to afford every as,istaniee and protection to the
officers entrusteJ with the construction of the line ; and
as he has a large military force un icr his command, that
assistance and protection cannot but be least effective.
Under such favourable auspices it will be evident to the
public that they may look forward at an early date to the
completion af this important li whicti will only require

communication with India.

In placin ; th•-:se remarks before the publio, I abrtain
from entering into any discussion on the comp,,rative
merits 4.f the itel Sea telegraph, or the one through Asia-
tic Turkey, this being out of my province, and having no
personal interest in the matter beyond a wish that the in-
tentions of the Turkish Government should be correctly
rAvesented : but there is one point with reference to which
some p-r3ons have been raising doubts, and on which I
must dwell for a moment—this is the protection of the line
through Asiatic Turkey. With all due deference to those
persons professing to know that country thoroughly, I must
insist that the Turkish Government mitt b: the beatj adg,s
on that point. In deciding on the conatruction of the line
ft-urn Gmatantinople to Bu.3sca...h they did not anticipate
any ditthinity whatever on the score of pr,;toction ; the
whole line from Constantinople to Bag.hul, ,:istanca
IEO miles, will be laid across a poac,i4bl,4 an I poputursly
inhibited country, and will not even require an ordinary
military surveillance. The section from Bagdad to Bus-
sora,b, 200 miles, will not offer any greater difficulty.
Many correspondents in the Times, ill complete ignorance
of the course adopted by the Turkish Government, ropre-
sent the line about to be established as passing through
Aleppo and the desert, which is erroneous, as I have ex-
plained above.

In concluden, I have only to say that it is cot likely that
the Turkish Guv..rament would have undertaken this lino
at a heavy outlay without carefully consideting whether
they could maintain it in working order. They confidently
look forward to the completion of the whole lino, an I the
opening, at no distant period, of telegraphic coma' uuioa-
Gen between Europe and the Persian Gulf. This will ba
the best proof of the groundlessness of the ()Ejections
raised by the opponents of this great undertaking. • -I stn,

THE PAPER DUTY.

(From the Times.)

We have to thank Mr. Milner Gibson for a field-day of
extraordinary _ interest and success in behalf of the still
heavily taxed press. Its representatives mustered strong
last night, and urged their cause with an eloquence and a
force, with a mass of details and a cogency of reasoning,
which cannot fail of an early effect. It might not be con-
venient' to compel a Chancellor of the dxchequer to bring
out a now budgot on Midsummer-day, and wo take it as a
matter of course that Mr. Milner Gibson, in deference to
the wishesof all sides, was content with the first half of
his resolution, dad:raing the impolicy of the Paper Duty
as a permanent source of revenue. 'That is all wo need
deal with at present, and on this puiut we have no choice
but to thank Mr. Gibson, Mr. Ingrain, Mr. Ayrton, Mr.
Bright, and others for their assistance towards reducing a
duty the chief pressure of which happens to fall on our-
selves. Mr. Gibson, indeed, observed that some time since
this jeuroal paid 16,0001. or 17,0;l0/. a year paper duty,
and that probably it now paid a great deal more. We do
pay a good deal more. Our last week's consumption of
paper was 1,330 reams, which, at 81113, the ream, gives
73:1. duty, or upwards of 38,0001. a year. This is a very
'Liege contribution to the State from one manufacturer fure
one article of universal necessity. Hundreds are employed
in the production of this journal, chiefly in those hours
which more favoured mortals give to sleep; in the heart of
this dense city and near that now famous river the Thames.
Others are distributed all over the world for aging for in-
formation, some braving pestilential climates, others
sharing, only too gallantly, the dangers of a tropical cam-
paign ; others unravelling factions, ; ni penetrating the
secrets of c ,urts. Before the labour of these persons can
be presented to the public it is charged with a heavy duty-
for the very material through which it is conveyed. Per-
haps the hardship is more conspicuous in regard to such
common and useful information as all can appreciate.
The ordinary Englishman in these days wishes to know
the proceedings of Parliament, of our courts of justice and
police, and of our public societies. He looks 'eagerly
for news of the war still smouldering in the East,
and would be sorry to be surprised by a new one else-
where. He expects to know the prices of the funds and
the state of the markets, and he does not wish to be
ignorant of extraordinary events ; be is anxious to be in-
formed of discoveries, inventions, and great works in pro-
gress. Before ho can see any of these described in letter-
press, or in engravings, in ever so simple, and homely
a way, the tax-gatherer interposes with the demand
of a toll for the very paper ou which these things are re-
corded. Cotton and other raw materials for clothing come
free int) this country ; they are manufactured into the
cestliest as into the cheapest dresses, and pass from the
loom to the dressmaker, and thence to the fair forms of
the wearers free of duty. When that dress has become
worn, faded, and torn; when it will no longer hold to-
gether, bat, after descending through a succession of
hinds, has done its work, and is good for nothing else, it
becomes rags • with much labour and ingenuity it is made
into paper; it is imprinted no longer with roses and
sprigs, with pinks and lilacs; but with the speeches of
Messrs. Disraeli, Milner Gibson, and Bright. Before,
however, it can return to the public in that form it has
been visited and weighed by the officers of the Treasury,
and compelled to pay a heavy tax.
Perhaps the worst features of the tax were not made so
much of last night as they deserved. A State might
choose, in the plenitude of its wisdom, to regard the press
as a sort of rival, and therefore tax it, or do anything else
so it that it plelsed. It might choose to feel that litera-
ture in all forms was an exception to all rules, and that it
did not come under the same laws as bread, meet, or
clothing. Solt might take a positive satisfaction in com-
ing between the purveyor of news and the public, and in
demanding toll for all knowledge, all contributions to the
stock of memory for assistance to the understanding.
But you cannot buy the commonest things for your
library, your drawing-room, your kitchen, or your dress,
without paying duty, not perhaps on the article, but on
the paper in which it is wrapped. The paper that holds
together the poor man's pound of sugar or coffee pays
duty ; so also the piece that encloses your wife's purchase
from the draper, or your child's from the toyshop, your
daughter's roll of music, or your son's coat from the tailor.
Packing paper is a very heavy item i s ome houses,
and it all pays duty, the pressure of the duty being
the heaviest on the roughest kind of paper. Fo-
reign goods are often packed in a thick, coarse,
pulpy parr, which answers the purpose of padding, and
saves the trouble and expense of careful stowage and pack-
ing. We csn use no such paper in England, because it
would pay as much duty per pound as the finest tissue
paper ; and the packing of a fender or a rocking-horse
would cost rot much per ounce and pound as the silver
paper enclosing a watch or a diamond ring. Of course,
we have little inducement to attempt cheap paper. People
have spent large sums in making paper from straw and
other cheap materials, and there is no doubt it would
be available for many uses; but the duty levels all die-
tinetions, and makes the cheapest wrapping or wa'lding
pay as much to the State as the finest Bath post, wove
cream, or that delightful paper on which Ministers of
State and other public functionaries, hold their high cons
verse. As was pointed out last night, the hardship is
aggravated rather than mitigated by a number of capri-
cious an I whimsical exemptions, which only prove that if
any body or class be strong enough to make itself formid-
able to the Minister it will get a special exemption at the
cost of saddling the duty still more permanently on the
general taxpayer.
There is no manufacture which is mole open to the dis-
play of ingenuity and taste. At the beginning of the
present century every sheet of paper was made by the hand
slowly and laboriously. No amount of skill coull prevent
great inequality between one sheet and another; cr
between one end of a sheet and another • and a large prc-
portion of paper made from the bast materials was
spoilt and condemned to inferior uses through sore
small accident in the making. Now it is possible to make
a sheet of paper a mile long of a perfectly uniform compo-
sition, thickness, and weight, anal without a single flaw.
No doubt, machinery could be applied to the manufacture
with as great a variety and delicacy of results as in the
cotton, woollen, and silk manufacture. It is only a ques-
tion of experiment. The hundreds el mills which have
teen stopped, partly by the progress of steam power, and
partly also by the pressure of the tax and the vexatious re-
' gulations of the Excise, might be reopeaed for the menu-

facture of coarse kinds adapted for wrapping or other
ordinary purposes. At present much water power, capital,
skill, and labour are thrown away by the increasing ten-
&racy of the trade to accumulate in a few hands. Take
away the duty, and you open the manufacture, opening
also hundreds of small mills in the quiet valleys and on
the clear streams of the midland and southern counties.
One has only to look at one of these ruinous mills, to see
the old men who worked in them half their lives and hear
their sad story, to feel the excessive hardship of the duty
under which these mills were gradually impoverished and
crippled, and finally brought to a standstill, while all other
trades have been continually assisted by the Legislature.
We c moot doubt that a majority of the House of Com-
mons has made up its Mind that this is only a question 44
time. As such we regard it ; but we really think the
house maq reasonably decline to do more for the promotion
of literature and diffusion of knowledge till it has taken
off the tax which is not only an obstacle and a discourage•
ment, but a positive penalty on those undertakings.

THE BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY
LAWS.

(From the Daily News)
Few subjects in a mercantile community aro of greater
importance than right regulation of the Laws affecting
Bankruptcy and Insolyen7. T., the great repreaeh of
this country there is scarcely any portion of our law
mercantile more confused in its rules, or more im
perfect in its administration, than this. So costly
end operose is the process of winding up an estate
in. Bankruptcy, that it is only in extreme cases, , and
then with the greatest reluctance, that our mercantile
classes can be induced to resort to-the constituted tribu-
nale. This state of things has recently led to an influential
and combined movement on the part of the various Cham-
hers sef CeruceerCe throughout the country, to urge oa the
Legislature the pressing necessity for a complete reconstruc-
tion of the whole system of the law affecting Bankruptcy
tend. ieselvesoye' brig-Jannaryyear a meetitigof eleleg :Lies
from all the more important mercantile bodies in the pro-
vinces took place in Lend, n, under the auspices of Lord'
Brougham ; the subject was renewed last Oeteher at the
Social Science Meeting at Birmingham ; and -since that
period the Law Amendment Society has been assiduously.
engaged in framing a bill for the purpose of carrying out
the views indicated by so inflential a concurrence of mer-
cantile opinion. Lord J. Russell, having been selected as.
the rratieleet of the Section of Law and Jniisprudence at
the Birmingham meeting, has the charge of the measure
thus prepared, and has given notice of his intention
to introdu e it to the home to-night. A kindred measure
on the same subject was in preparation by the Board of
Trade under the late Government, and forms, it is under-
stood, the groundwork of the bill which Lord Chelmsford,
on behalf of the present Government, has pledged himself
to bring forward in the Upper House.

At the present period of the sessi r, awl in the existing
state of public business, it is not to be supposed that any
measure on the subject can this year piss into law. The
natter is not one to be hastily dealt with. It is eminently
desirable that before the principles of legislation are finally
settled, every suggestion should be carefully sifted and
inatr.nly weighed. It is hardly less desirable that when
the principles aro agreed upon the greatest care shonl.i b..;
taken in clothing them with legislative expression which
shall be at once succinct and comprehensive, scientific and
practical. The most deliberate attention of the best chosen
Select Committee will be wee bestowed on a matter, the
complexity of which is very great, and the importance of
which it would be difficult to overrate. Under these cir-
cumstalcas it might have been at once referred to tho
same Select Committee.

It is t', be expected that in both measures due attention
has Len given to the important point of separating the
administrative from the adjudicative department.of Bank-
ruptcy. The formality of a court, the apparatus of ex-
amination and cross-examination, the presence of counsel
an I solicitors, rile embarrassments, not helps, when the
object simply is to marshal cro litors and asci_rtain assets,
to prove debts and assess liabilities All this portion of the
work is best performed by men of business, assisted by pro-
fessional accountants. Thu forms a.:d technicalities of law
are here m. rely impedircen's. It is ,litrerent where qiiestions
arise as to the nature of the Bankrupt's or Insolvent's
conduct. To ascertain whether; and in what degree,
The trading has been reckless, or the debts fraudulently
contracted ; to inquire whether books have been ill kept.
or not kept at all; whether all the property has been given
up, or some of it Ay:Malty withheld .fr)m the creditors—
questions such as these fall within the proper province of
a judge. They are best dealt with by a legally trained
mind accustomed to weigh evidence and apportion punish-
meat to degrees of delinquency.
Another very important point will be to diminish the
present enormous costliness of the courts. This is a part
of the case with which the public is already onl) too fami-
liar. Any scheme professing to bo au improvement, will
be a complete failure, unless it involves a most thorough-
going change in this respect.
A third and very iinpm tant object will b 3 to do away
with the present ungrounded separation of mercantile and
non-mercantile insolvents into two classes, amenable to
different laws, and cognisable in different courts. To those
who aro inclined to believe that laws are made for law
per,—not for the public—the present condition of the two
separate jurisdictions r,f bankruptcy and insolvency un-
doubtedly efforts a very plausible ground to go upon.
Bankruptcy Commissioners and Insolvency 'Commis-
sioners ; Basinghall-street and Portugal-stradl long
consolidation statute relating solely to insolvent traders ;
a mass of conflicting and -nuintell4ible acts relating
to insolvent non-trad,rs ; plisonirs acts and protection
acts; petitions, and schedules, and adieations—
combine to create a chains of chicanery which seems
cunningly devised for the especial profit of practi-
tioners and the general fleecini and bewilderment of the
public. It is a sine qua non of any measure assuming to
be satisfactory that it shall at once and for ever put an
end to all this afflictive dispensation of legal nonsense, by
abolislsing all distinction between Bankruptcy and Insol-
vency, as far as regards procedure and methods of adjudi-
cations

Among the questions which will require mature consi-
deration is that relating to the tribunals in which the trial
of provincial bmkruptcies shall be vested. All cases of
Insolvency arising beyond the limit of the metropolitan
district ara now tried, and not unsatisfactorily tried, in
the provincial County Courts. The addition of bank-
ruptcy cases, judging by the numbers now tried before
the county commissioners, would not form a very formid-
able addition to the labours of the County Court Judges ;
but it has been doubted whether the County Courts, as at
present donstitnted, supply adequate machinery for the
despatch of bankruptcy business.
Supposing,- however, the distinction already referred to
between the administrative and judicial functions of bank-
ruptcy to be properly carried out, the principal ground for
doubting the adequacy of the County Court., in this re-
spect, would be at once disposed of. For all which pro-
perly constitutes the judicial functions of bankruptcy the
County Courts are at least as well fitted as they are for
exercising their present jurisdiction in insolvency. Those,
however, and many other questions of the like kind, aro
matters not to be settled off-hand. It is better to wait
another s-ssion 'for a really efficient and well-matured
measure, than to run the risk, by hasty or ill-considered
legislation, of producing change without securing im•
provement.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius.-713,f0re Lord Campbell and a

Special Jury.)

TIIE QUEEN V. 11M30i.-PROSEOUTION FOR PERJURY

Teis was a prosecution at the instance of Mr. Rigby
Wason against Nathaniel Mason, formerly solicitor to
the Westminster Improvement dommissioners, for per-
jury, alleged to have been committed in answer made by
him to a bill filed in Chancery.
Mr. E. James, Mr. T. Jones, and Mr. Garth, were for
the prosecution ; Mr. Bofll, Mr. Sergeant Balactine,
Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Bodkin, appealed fir the de-
fence.
It appeared from the details of the case, which were
of a very complicated nature, that Mr. Wason was the
originator of the pl in for making Victoria-street, and that
in 1853 the Westminster Improvement Commissioners
were under covenant to him t o purchase certain laud on
the north eiee of that street. Being unable to perform
their covenant, the commissioners, after various; negotia.-
Gone, made an arrangement with the Rock Insurance
Company, by which the latter, on obtaining a mortgage
of certain property, was to advance 20,0001, in order to
enable them to fulfil their engagement with Mr. Wason.
Mr. Wason, accoriing to the representalon of his coon-
ad, thought the arrangement would be carried out, but
ultimately the Rock Insurance Company refu,ed to com-
plete it, having discovered in 1857 that Mr. Mason, the
dtfendant, had obtained a prior mortgage on the property
for 20,000/. as security for his costs as sclici!or to the
Improvement Commissioners. Mr. Wagon said the de-
fendant bad entirely concealed this from the Rock-office,
and had entered the mortgage from the commissioners,
it. fraud of him and the other creditors, and in July,
.1857, be filed a bill in Chancery praying that the mort-
gage might be set asAe. In January, 1858, the defend-
ant filed an answer which contained the altered perjury.
The passage in question was that Mr. Rigby Wason
knew that the completion lot the mortgage to'the R.,ck-
effice was prevente I by a judgment debt due by the com-
missioners to Lord L.ffird, and not by the execution of
the mortgage to Mr. Loal,on and his partners for 20,0001.
Mr. Rigby Wa4300, who is a barrister, and formerly,.
M.P. for Ipswich, was examined and cru3s-examined at
considerable length with regard to his transactions in
connection with the commissioners.
After other evidence had been adduced on the part of
the prosecution,
Lord Catopbdl said he was of opinion Cant on the
' fifth assignment of perjury, en which Mr. James relied,
there was no foundation whatever for the charge, and
therrf :re the prosecution could not be sustained.
This of course amounted to a verdict cf acquittal, and
he jury left the box,

the wn,wher has been so intense, yet, owing.to the ffe-
quency of thunderstorms, whieh have bt,en very general
throughout the country, the soil has been prevented
from being so hardened and caked as might reasonably
have been expectA, and should it only c•latinue a little
longer the foodeEt wishes of the agricu!turists will-he
gratified. An experienced farmer from the north writes :
—" At_,other week , f ho: weather, with occasional thun-

{ADVERTISEMENT.}—Messrs. Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica
Food has at length solved the problem which has kept the
learned and studious at cross purposes in all ages, from Hip-
pocrates to Abernethy. The authentic testimony of fifty
thousand known witnesses has proclaimed the joyful truth
t'sat, in stages of dire disease, where medicine haditotally
failed, the use of this preparation has restored vigour, cheer-
fulness, ease of mind and body, and raised sufferers from a
condition in which death was longed for as a release from
lingering woe, to one in which life is no.; only prolonged, but
cherished, because enjoyei. Take one instance, described by
the Rev. J. W. Fiavell, Rector of Ridlington, which is a
specimen of t:ousairls upon thousands of similar testi-
monies. The reverend gentleman says :—" Mary Emerson
(a servant of Mr. Flavell',), aged thirty. hat for the last
eihtyears,
beendrlvdelicateri health,
sh sufferedcomplaint e‘• ry twasa:o
dyspepsia
or three days with violent attacks of s, asms in the stomach
and chest, being constantly sick after partaking of food, how-
ever small the quantity, or carefully chos Al the quality. She
had a constant pain in the side, end bleame so much debili-
tated that it was with great difficulty she could walk up
stairs. She received occasional relief from medical treatmett,
but never for long together, and at the commencement of this
year her state was most deplorable." After using Messrs.
Do. Barry's pre; nation for some time, as an article of food,
she recovered her health, cheerfulness, and activity. The
rev, gentleman goes on to say :—" It is not in my power to
expr:ss her feelings at the change, which, indeed, is a matter
of astonishment as well as thankfulness to all hero." Such
certificates of the salutary efficacy of the diet (for it is dis•
tiuctly to be understood that it is neither a drug, nor what
is commonly called a-medicine, but an agreeable and palat-
able article of food) are pouring in daily, and can leave no
doubt in the minds of intelligent persons, that it stands
alone and unapproached—far and away- -at the head of every
hing which science has yet discovered for the preservation
tf Lealth, and the eradication of pain and disease.
