The mails bring fuller reports of the
dreadful famine now prevailing in
Bengal, and explaining the cause.
The distress il said not to be so great
as In l770, when ten millions persisted,
but is likely to equal II not surpass
the famine of 1865, when one million
died of starvation. The Calcutta cor
respondent Of the London Times gives
this explanation Of the situations In
Bengal the daily consumption OF rice
Is 81, 600 tons. The last crop failed in
many of the districts. and the destitu-
tion affects tTenty millions of people,
The British Government has been
buying up all the surplus rice in the
adjacent provinces and islands, but
had succeeded in obtaining 4 supply
for only two months. Government is
using every exertion to enable the
people to obtain food. regardless of ex-
pense. Every thing that can be done
to mitigate the sutferings of the peo-
pie will be done by the authorities Of
British India.

The Proposed Railroad.

The Portland, Dalles Il Salt Lake
Railroad, as contemplated, is to be
narrow gnage road, extending from
kelton. on the Central Pacific. to Port
land, Oregon, a distance of seven hum
dred miles. and will cost some 81, ,000,-
600. The bill now before Congress
provides that the Company may issue
its bonds to the extent Of $4,000 per
mile, and no more, in gold, bearing
tive per cent. interest annually, for the
construction of the road. and the Gov
ernment is asked TO guarantee the pay
ment of the interest on these bonds as
fast as the road is completed, for rtwen-
ty years, amounting to $3.50, 600 per
year. Inreturn for this guarantee on
the part of Government. the road is to
transport the U. S. mails aud Govern
ment stores, free Of charge, forever.
As the Government now pays nearly
that sum for transporting the mails
