NATIONAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND.-0126,345
is the net total amount expended on agriculture out of the
public grants made to the Commissioners of National Ed uca-
tion in Ireland from the introduction of agricultural instruc-
tion up to the end of 1857. This sum includes the net total
expenditure from the year 1837-38 to the 31st of December,
1857, under the heads of building, furnishing, and repairing
of all Model Agricultural Schools under the management
of the commissioners, the maintenance of resident agul-
to indus-
tural pupils, salaries of agricultural teachers, expense con-
nectedil cl a witheth:
uj workingties tof farms,
otrhkehou se
and the total disbursements to model and ordinary agricul-
tural schools under local management, as well as the cost of
inspection. The total value of all the a,grieultural property
held by the commissioners on the 31st of December, 1857,
was as follows—viz., capitalised interest in land, £9,341;
live stock, £4,179 ; crops, D,594; implements and machi-
nery, £7,397; and value of buildings, £58,434.

The soundings, as obtained by Capt. Pullen, were
as follows :—From Aden to Maculla, from 20 to 742
fathoms ; from Maculla to Kooria Mooria, from 100
to 1,150; from Kooria Mooria to Ras-el-Had, from
21 to 897 ; from Ras el-Had to Kurrachee, from 21
to 2,020 fathoms. Except between Hallania and
Ras-el•Had, where it is rocky, the entire bottom
consists of mud and sand, and though the result as
above given might at first sight lead one to sup-
pose great inequalities in the sea bed, yet I believe
nothing more formidable than undulations will
obstruct the successful submergence of the cable
throughout the whole line.
The Cyclops is at present refitting at Bombay,
but will be here again before the setting in of the
south-west monsoon, to accompany the Imperador
and Imperatrix, and to superintend the laying of
the cable between Suez and Aden.
The Chesapeake, bearing Commodore Edgell's
pennant, arrived here on the 6th, and left again for
Trincomalee on the 14th inst. A few of the crew
were attacked with cholera while in the harbour,
and Corporal Harman, who was left behind in hos-
pital, died the day before yesterday. lam happy
to report that all were well on board when the
frigate sailed.
The Duchayla also, with 250 French artillery
on board, arrived here on the 11th from Suez and
Jiddah, and left again for Cochin China on the
14th inst.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

RAILWAY COMPETITION.
Much as this country has been shamed by its
railway management, the crowning point of ab-
surdity and disgrace has only just been reached.
When the Great Northern, last year, in the ss.
scheme to Manchester and back, started their imi-
tation of the reckless and insolvent coach proprie-
tors of a former generation, they had at least a pro-
fessed object—namely, to wrest a certain amount
of permanent traffic from a rival, and also to com-
pel submission to a particular view of some disputed
agreements, and in all such contests hitherto an
element of this kind has existed. A fight avowedly
for no other purpose than to enjoy the sport of
mutual degradation and damage remained to be
witnessed. The Brighton and South-Western com-
panies are now exhibiting themselves in this exer-
cise, and, if there is no other satisfaction the public
can hope to get from it, there is at least the know-
ledge that we have at length seen the final depth
into which English railway boards can plunge.
Three shillings and sixpence to the Isle of Wight
and back is the charge for passengers, placarded
by each company, and, with regard to freight, it is
understood the contest is so keen that consignors by
a little management may virtually have it carried
for nothing. But the contest is for the amusement
of the directors alone, and can have no other result
except such as may be manifested hereafter by a
mutual reduction of dividends, and by appeals to
Parliament, covert or otherwise, to tax the public
for their present transitory enjoyment of cheap trips
by a permanent doubling of fares. Even if one
company could actually reduce the other to bank-
ruptcy no end would be answered. The Brigh-
ton charge the South Western with breach of
faith in taking up the new line to Ports-
mouth ; but the merits of that question are
before Parliament, and cannot be affected in the
slightest degree by anything now going on.
Again, there can be no question of a permanent
wresting of traffic by the one company from the
other. The distance to Portsmouth by the Brighton
line is 95 miles, while by the South-Western new
line it is only 74. Under no conceivable circum•
stances, therefore, can the Brighton, by any com-
petition, recover the ground or prevent the South-
Western from enjoying it. At least this is the view
as far as the history of the affair is generally
to
erallywkinpoem,
and if either company can urge anything
the opprobrium they seem to deserve it is open for
them to do so. Meanwhile it is asked, what is the
Railway Association, that was so recently formed to
prevent these scandals, doing in the matter No
one expected much fromt such a tribunal, and it
appears now to have shown its perfect
helplessness. Stronger authority is required. It
would be hard, however, to suggest how it could be
created. There was a paragraph in the papers

The men were to beat and disfigure each other
voluntarily, and would be animated by the ambition
of conquest. Moreover, no innocent individuals
would be robbed in order to pay for the sport, since
the damage would be limited to their own morals
and persons. If there is no power to step in when
the Chairman and Directors of undertakings repre-
senting seventeen millions of capital and the inte-
rests of hundreds of private families, as well as
those of the community at large, choose to indulge
in a battle, the more demoralising because it is
merely for the pleasure of wanton blows, triumph
on either side being out of the question, and to
