WYLD'S MAP OF INDIA.

Wyld and promptitude would seem to be
synonymous terms—for here we have a splen-
did and most accurate new map of India
before we recover breath from the effects
of the late astounding news of the mutiny of the
Bengal soldiery. This map is a perfect specimen
in its way of how much can b 3 compreseed into a
small compass. We have a nicely coloured sub-
division of all the presidencies and their compo-
nent parts, together with the several and various
dependencies of our vast Indian Empire—the area
and population of Hindostan—the military stations
of the army marked prominently throughout Ben-
gal—Madras—Bombay, together with a mass of
other informantion, which at this juncture, most
valuable to the British people.
Besides all this, we have a bird's-eye view, on
Mercator's principle, of the world, from Behring's
Straits to the far East, showing the relative
position of each country to the other, and indicat-
ing the shortest route to Hindostan and China. But
it would fill a column to give even a portion of
the multifarious contents of this well-timed and
excellent map—so we conclude by saying—buy it,
and judge for yourself. If you can feel disap-
pointed never believe us again.

Tribune says that Lord Napier has communicated
to Secretary Cass a disavowal of the cession to Eng-
land of the island in Panama Bay. He also denies
the allegation that the Chincha Islands are con-
veyed to British suhject3, or have been placed
under British and French protection. Lord Napier
disclaims generally the policy of territorial acquisi-
tion in or near the American continent, but admits
that her Britannic Majesty's government will oß-
pose the monopoly by any power of the rights and
privileges, commercial or of any other description,
rightfully appertaining to the general use of the
world.
