a long letter from correspondent at Calcutta,
who suggests the following remedies for the evils
which beset that country : •
" The rending of a permanent force of 50,000 Euro-
peans, 10,000 of them being cavalry, similar to the
gendarmerie of France ; the immediate development of
railways and great roads, India, which is 18,000 miles
long by 13,000 wide, having only had, during the last
100 years, 950 miles of carriageable roads ; the abolition
of places held by natives ; and lastly, a municipal police
wed organised and respected. It is only on these con-
ditions, it seems to me, that India can be saved."
A decree establishes a new village of " eighty-two
hearths," in the plain of Chetiff, between Orleans-
ville and Miliana, in Ageria, as a new "centre of
population."
The ilionieur publishes a decree making several
promotions and appointments in the higher ranks
of the magistracy.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, &PT. 13.

The Royal mail steam-ship Arabia, Capt. Stone,
has arrived with advices from Now York to the 2d
inst. and $53,000 iu specie.
The Arabia passed the Royal mail steam-ship
Asia, hence, going into New York, agd on the Bth
inst. at 4 p.m, passed the ship Salacia, bound west.
The United States' mail steam-ship Atlantic,
hence, arrived at New York on the 30th ult.
The following despat3h respecting the Atlantic
cable had been received at the Navy Department
from Captain Hudson, of the Niagara :
" United States' Steam Frigate Niagara,
Plymouth, England, Aug. 14.

_
" Sir,—l have the honour as well as the mortlfica:lon
to report the arrival of the Niagara at this poi aLer
having run ont 334 miles of the telegraphic cable, some
portions of it in a depth of over 3,050 fathoms, over more
than two miles and a quarter, when it was broken by
too much pressure on the break attached to the machi-
nery for paying it out. I have every reason to believe,
from what we have thus far experienced in %ire laying,
that under ordinary circumstances of weather, and ma•
chinery adaptcd to the purpose—for such as we have on
board requires altering and improving—the cable may
be hid iu safety on the track marked out over the At.
lactic Ocean.

" At the time the cable parted—Aug. 11, 3'45 a.m.
—the ship was going along four knots. and had been
running at the rate of Irom three to four knots through
the night, with some mot:on from a moderate head sea,
and the company's chief engineer and men attending
their breaks to lessen the expenditure of cable, until
they finally carried it away, which made all hands of us
through the day Elio a household or family which had
lost their dearest friend, for officers and men had become
deeply interested in the success of the enterprise.
" Mr. Yeid left the ship soon after the accident oc•
curred in Her Britannic Majesty's steam brig Cyclor,i,
for Valentia Bay, Ireland, requesting that the Niagara,
Susquehanna, and Agamemnon should proceed to this
place, after making cezts.in experiments with the wire
and machinery in deep water. The Leopard proceeded
at once to Spithead.
" Whether the company intend to supply athlitional
cable and try it again this season, or defer it until next
season, lam as yet unadvised. If the latter, the wire
will have to be taken out of the ship and retarred, to
save it from the effects of rust. I presume a few days
will solve their present difficulties, as to further action ;
and if the effort is not to be renewed at this late season
of the year I shall require further instructions to govern
my future proceedings with this ship.
" Your obedient servant,

" WM. L. limisoN,Captain.

"Hon. I. Toucey, Secretary of the Navy."
It is stated that this letter was accompanied by
ona from Mr. Charles T. Bright, engineer to
to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, speaking in
the highest terms of Capt. Hudson and all on
board, and concluding by saying—
" I feel it my duty, before leaving the Niagara, to
state that I do not consider the fracture of the cable
to be in the least degree attached to any one connected
with the ship. On the contrary, I must take this op-
portunity of expressing on the part of the com•
pany, the great obligation we are under to the officers,
and yourself and men ; and I will esteem it a favour if
you will thank them on my behalf for the never-railing
zeal and a%tention which have so universally been dis-
played in our cause."

It is asserted that a trial of spool was made
between the Niagara and Susquehanna and the
Agamemnon on their return to port. and that the
former parsed -the -latter easily. The "race" is
thus described in the Washington, Star :
" We had something of a race to-day, and a good deal
of excitement for a while. The Agamemnon and the
Niagara have each lerge fenders or yards over their
propellers. The former has a load of about 1,500 tons,
and we now about 1,150, both load and guard not much
of an assistance in a race, and besides I was a little
afraid of the Agamemnon, as every one declares in
England that she can steam 11 or 12 knots easily, and
I thought certainly the Susquehanna would lead us
badly. In this trim we are. So, with all these reasons,
I managed to keep a little back than otherwise. This
morning at 9 the Susquehanna was about two miles
a-head, and we were just abeam of the Agamemnon.
Captain Sands signalised, lam going to Plymouth,'
as much as to say, I can't wait for such slow
coaches. I asked Captain Hudson to let us try and go
to Plymouth also. Each ship's smoke-pipes told the
story of hard 5-ing at once. The sea Wel smooth, and
the wind light after us, smoke just up and down when
at lull speed. At 5 p.m. the relative positions were
neaely as follows :—The Agamemnon was more than hull
down astern. We could just see he- smoke, and the
Susquehanna was about seven or eight miles astern.
As Captain Hudson want I to keep company with the
Agamemnon, we stopped and waited for her. The
Niagara's speed was 12 knots in the contest.
