LATEST FROM SPAIN•

We have received a pamphlet on this important sub -
ject, by Lieut. Waghorn, R.N., a gentlema❑ to whom
the public is much indebted for his successful endeavours
in promoting the overland route to India, in its earliest
stages ; and he now propounds a plan for the acceleration
of the Indian mails by that route, once a fortnight. He
furnishes some interesting statistics of voyages already
made, as the groundwork of his propositions. With re-
spect to the Calcutta line, he suggests that the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company should continue
their ships (the Hindostan and Bentinck) according to
their arrangement with the East India Company in 1841,
and that the latter body should set aside one of their
steamers of 760 tons, to run between Calcutta, Madras,
Ceylon, Aden, and Suez, in those months of the year
when the Oriental Company's steamers do hot, until that
company get a third large steamer to complete the arrange-
ment. He states—" The Hindostan, up to the present
time, has made very rapid passages both ways between
Suez and Calcutta, touching at Ceylon, Madras, and Aden,
and has given every satisfaction to the public." With re-
gard to the Bombay line, he suggests that the E. I. Com-
pany's steamers should leave Bombay every fortnight for
Aden, their other steamers being divided between Bom-
bay and Aden. He would send the mails (through
Egypt) in:the quickest way to Alexandria, without reference
to passengers ; H.M. steamers at Alexandria to start at
once with them for Marseilles, on their way to London :
the letters and passengers vid Southampton to come and
go as they now do, by the Oriental Steam Company's
steamers. The mails to and from India on the Suez side
should, be contends, always remain in the hands of the
E. I. Company, as " no private company can with cer-
tainty be contracted with, to fill up the breaks down
which any unforeseen accident may occasion, for any
private company on the Indian side must have recourse
to the government of India only to do the needful in such
