borrowing, however it might have deprived itself of the power of doing so.

And further, the revenue of India is chiefly derived from land, and is proportionate to the extent of cultivation. But in many most fertile and extensive districts, not half the cultivable land is cultivated, and that which is cultivated probably does not bear halt the crop it ought to do. It is capable of distinct proof that this state of things arises from the fact, that surplus produce from those districts cannot be exported to profit (and therefore is not raised) because of the enormous cost, delay, damage, and insecurity of the present modes of conveyance. No roads, little produce; little produce, little revenue; little revenue, frequent loans and high interest.

Much more might be said if the case required it. The noble adviser would not kill the goose which should lay golden eggs for the Government; he would only take care there should be no goose to kill.

The cases of Ireland and of India differ widely also with regard to the immediate pressure which their respective railway schemes would produce on the money-market. The money

asked of Government, and to be raised by the companies for Irish railroads, would be spent as rapidly as it could be found. In India this would not be the case. Almost the whole of the system has to be created; labourers, artisans, surveyors, contractors, organization, superintendence-everything which cannot be sent from England has to be raised amongst a people to whom all that is proposed is new. The natives, it is true, are apt and willing to learn, but still they have everything to learn. So of materials-large supplies can be had, but not suddenly. The progress of Indian railways will, therefore, be slow at first, and the expenditure and calls proportionately so. The present drain of capital proposed for Ireland might greatly derange all measures of public and private finance, while the largest which India could require would hardly be felt.

There is this further difference :-In Ireland we must wait a long time for genuine profits, for they are to arise from the traffic supplied by the country when improved by the railways themselves; but in India the railways will come at once into possession of a traffic which already exists and is large enough to afford sufficient profits.

For Ireland's six millions per annum, then, India for a year or two will want little more than one; and long before Ireland's bogs and heaths have disappeared in favour of railway traffic, India's one million will be bringing back its earnest of dividends. Surely, there is here difference enough in the cases to justify Government taking different courses in respect to them.-Times, March 4.

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE INDIAN ARMY.-It appears from a return moved for by Mr. Hume, M. P., that the total strength of Her Majesty's troops, cavalry and infantry, in the three Indian presidencies, consisted. on the 1st of May, 1845, of 963 European officers, and 27,149 rank and file; and on the first of May, 1837, of 771 officers, and 17,684 rank and file. In 1845 the strength was thus distributed, viz.-in Bengal, 1.959 cavalry and 11,117 infantry; in Madras, 721 cavalry and 7,313 infantry; and in Bombay, 694 cavalry and 5,345 infantry. The strength of the regular native infantry in May, 1845, was, in Begal, 83,411; in Madras, 55,378; and in Bombay, 28,991. The cavalry in the three presidencies, at the same date, was, 4,782, 3,889, and 1,430, respectively; and the artillery, 4,833, 1,818, and 899.

The augmen

tations of corps between May 1837 and May 1845 amounted in Bengal to 410 European officers, 920 non-commissioned and rank and file, and 26,640 natives (regular corps); and to 19,103 (irregular corps); in Madras, to 277 officers, 920 non-commissioned and rank and file, and 13,520 natives (regular corps); and in Bombay, to 173 officers, 920 non-commissioned and rank and file, and 9,360 natives (regular corps), and to 4,021 irregular corps. It is believed that between the period of the return in 1845, and the corresponding period in the year 1846, no great alteration of numbers took place.

ASSAM TEA COMPANY.-At a meeting of the Assam Company, held Feb. 26, the report of the committee appointed on the 2nd of December, to inquire into the present state and future prospects of the concern, was presented to the shareholders. It intimated that the finances of the company would admit of their going on for another year, and that, with certain reductions of the establishment, it is possible it may prove the first free from serious loss. The committee stated their conviction that the tea plant can be successfully cultivated in Assam, and that they attribute past losses chiefly to the error of the company in not confining their early operations within proper limits. The abandonment of no less than forty-eight out of fifty-four locations at present in cultivation was consequently

recommended, together with general retrenchment, and the dissolution of the board of directors at Calcutta. A plan of encouraging production by making contracts with the natives to induce them to cultivate the plant on their own account, and to deliver the leaves in a green state to the company's officers, by which it is probable they would be led to perform with vigour the tasks now listlessly executed under an expensive system of superintendence, was also suggested, and the entire report finally received the unanimous sanction of the meeting.

LITERARY NOTICES. The Parlour Library. The Black Prophet, a Tale of Irish Famine. By WILLIAM CARLETON, Author of "Traits and Traditions of the Irish Peasantry," " Fardorougha the Miser," &c. Belfast, 1847. Sims and M'Intyre.

We have heard of persons who looked to our great city as a place where the streets were paved with gold, and the roast pigs ran about the streets, crying, " come, eat me." We have not yet attained to this happy state, but as far as books are concerned, we are obviously approaching it, not only here, but even in distant parts of the United Kingdom. Here we receive from the good city of Belfast, an original novel, extending over 320 pages, for the sum of one shilling. The name of Mr. Carleton will generally be accepted as a guarantee of the quality of the article, and the subject, fearful and appalling as it is at all times, strikes with awful force upon the eye and ear now, when the sufferings of the Irish people occupy so large a share of men's thoughts and conversation.

Certainly the work is a wonder. "The force of cheapness can no further go," we should imagine: we have taken the liberty of marking the above as a quotation, though we believe that tolidem verbis it is not to be found in any author; the reader, however, we trust will forgive a slight inaccuracy for the sake of an adequate expression of the truth.

The collection is called a " Parlour Library ;" but at the rate of publication, people may afford to have a library in every room in the house.

History of the House of Austria, from the Foundation of the Monarchy by Rodolph of Hapsburg to the Death of Leopold the Second, 1218 to 1792. By WILLIAM COXE, F. R.S., F. A. S., Archdeacon of Wilts, and Rector of Bemerton. Third edition. In 3 volumes. Vol. I. London, 1847. H. G. Bohn.

Mr. Bohn continues to supply his subscribers with books of sterling merit, at the smallest possible cost. Coxe's History of the House of Austria is one of the most valuable contributions to the illustration of the political aspect of modern Europe, and it is now offered at a rate which may tempt every one to become possessed of it. An ordinary reader of a newspaper must fail to understand much that he reads without an acquaintance with the contents of books like that of which the first volume is now before us; and Mr. Bohn, by such publications, is doing more for the "diffusion of knowledge" than has been done by all the vaunted efforts of all the boastful societies, who in our times, have professed this object.

Select Writings of Robert Chambers. Vol. 1. Essays, Familiar and Humorous. Edinburgh, 1847, W. and R. Chambers; London, W. S. Orr.

If there be any one who has not read the essays here collected, we enjoin him to purchase the volume, for he will find the outlay well repaid in the amusement which he will derive from it. Those, and we are aware they are many, who have already become acquainted with them, will need no recommendation to induce them to enrich their bookshelves with the collecion. These always exhibit a nice perception of the peculiarities of life and manners, with a Scottish shrewdness of remark, which gives to them an agreeable piquancy. They are by no means, however, offensively national. All Englishmen should feel grateful for the beautiful portraiture of "An English Girl," to be found in the present volume. The style is perfect considered in reference to the subject; and when we say that the essays are not unworthy of taking a place beside those of Addison, Steele, and Charles Lamb, our readers will be able to judge how highly we estimate them.

A Lecture on the Eye, its Mechanism, and Optical Powers; with Directions for the Preservation of Sight, and the Treatment of Diseases of the Eye, in contra distinction to the present dangerous System, pointing out a more rational Practice and safer Mode of operating, based on the Experience of Seventeen Years' Practice in many Thousands of Operations, and innumerable Cases in India; to which is added, an Account of the first Series of Surgical Operations performed on the Eye without Pain, under the Influence of the Vapour of Sulphuric Ether. By F. H. BRETT, M.D., Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons ; Surgeon to the Western Ophthalmic Institution; late Superintending Surgeon of the Calcutta Government Eye Infirmary, and Surgeon on the Bengal Medical Staff (retired); Member of the Royal Asiatic Society of London, &c. London, 1847. Hatchard.

On a matter so purely technical as that which forms the subject of this pamphlet, we cannot be expected to do more than observe, that the author comes before his professional brethren, with the experience of seventeen years' practice in India, where diseases of the visual organs are of very frequent occurrence.

and Present Condition of the Sect and Nation of the Sikhs, including a full Account of the recent Military Operations on the Banks of the Sutledge, and the Proclamations and Treaties of the Governor-General of India. By THOMAS THORNTON, Esq.

"The work gives all the information, on the History and Topography of the Punjab, that could be desired; and in the fulness and completeness of its details, and the diligence with which information has been collected from every available source, constitutes this the best and most authentic work extant on the important country of which it treats."-Britannia, May 23, 1846.

"These volumes should be in the library of every one who feels an interest in the recent military exploits of our Army of the Sutledge, or in our future political relations of the Punjab. The work has, indeed, this double value,it is valuable for present and permanent reference. Independently, however, from any temporary interest which these volumes may derive from the recent events in the Punjab, they present much curious matter to the historical student, as well with regard to the religious character of the sect from which has sprung the warlike race of modern Sikhs, as with respect to the character and policy of Runjeet Singh," John Bull, June 6, 1846.

"It is an authentic work, and its statements are perfectly trustworthy. Indeed, it will be necessary for every one having a library to add this to the histo rical department; while the miscellaneous reader will find a powerful claim in its novel and stirring information"-Cheltenham Journal.

They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, numerous persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them.-Address, Ross and SONS, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate Street, London, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers, Hair-cutters, and Hair-dyers.
