COMMUNICATIONS WITH IsDIA.-Mr. Waghorn left
London at the beginning of the week, on his retsrn
TO Egypt by way of Marsees during his visit,
which lasted rather less than month, he does not
appear to have met with the encouragement ne ex-
pected to his views for the improvement Of the CON-
munication with India. The unwillingness of the
East India Company is still the great obstacle. In
Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow, however, the
object is supported with undated zeal and energy.
Mr.. Waghorn's more immediate motive for visiting
London, was for the establishment of IRON steam
boats on the Nile and of the carriages to be drawn
by mules over the desert from Cairo to Suez, in
which case the transit could be effected in three days
from Alexandra, and all the filth and annoyances
of the conveyances now adopted in that country
avoided.

THE GLoRIovs UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAw.-On
Monday, March 18th, at the Yorkshire asslzes,
man named William Smith pleaded guilty to forging
a bill of exchange for the paymen, of EGO. The Hon.
DIR. Wortley, who was counsel for the prisoner SAID
he hoped his Lordship sergeant Ateherley, who was
presiding for Mr.. Justice COsridge) would allow the
prisoner 10 retrac his plea because the digestion he
was about TO make must by law be made before
pleading. The indictment charged the offence as
having been in the reign of his late Majesty, and
cluded that 1t was against the peace OF our sove-
reign lady the Queen, her crown, and dignity" He
therefore submitted that the indictment was bad, and
begged TO put in his demurrer. The learned SER
geant said he would leave the case at present, and
consult the judges the point On the following day

ley renewed his application, and Mr. Hoggas was
wsrey's demurrer, and Smith, who before had
pleaded guilty, was Immediately discharged

very unlucky since she built. The most san
gune expectations were formed of her speed, and ii
Is believed that when her machinery perfected che
ssmpany 10 which she belongs have spared neither
pains expense in fitting her up. Our reporter vi

ind Robinson suffering dreadfully from the effects
Il the injuries they have received. II is wonderful
lew they have survived so long, as the whole sur

team and scalding water. The surgeons OF the
)readnought who have paid the utmost attention to
rem, informed ms that they were going on favorably
nder the circumstances But THAI Walkers condi.
on was very dangerous. All that could be collect
from the poor fellows was that the bottom of the
oiler suddenly gave way, and the steam and water /
we're blown upon them with great fury; they could |
tell hsw II happened but they believed the boil
q was defective one
