STEAM NAVIGATION TO INDIA..

The following are the resolutions of the Committee of the Commons on Steam Navigation to India.

"1. That a regular and expeditious communication with India by means of steam-vessels is an object of great importance both to Great Britain and to India.

2. That steam-navigation between Bombay and Suez having, in five successive seasons, been brought to the test of experiment (the expense of which has been borne by the Indian Government exclusively), the practicability of an expeditious communication by that line during the north-east monsoon has been established.

3. That the experiment has not been tried during the south-west monsoon; but that it appears from the evidence before the committee,

that the communication may be carried on during eight months of the year, June, July, August, and September being excepted, or left for the results of further experience.

4. That the experiments which have been made have been attended with very great expense; but that, from the evidence before the committee, it appears that by proper arrangements the expense may be materially reduced; and, under that impression, it is expedient that measures should be immediately taken for the regular establishment of steam communication with India by the Red Sea.

5. That it be left to his Majesty's Government, in conjunction with the East-India Company, to consider whether the communication should be in the first instance from Bombay or from Calcutta, or according to the combined plan suggested by the Bengal Steam Committee.

6. That by whatever line the communication be established, the net charge of the establishment should be divided equally between his Majesty's Government and the East-India Company, includ,

ing in that charge the expense of the land conveyance from the Euphrates on the one hand, and the Red Sea on the other, to the Mediterranean. ."7. That the steam-navigation of the Persian Gulf has not been brought to the test of experiment; but that it appears from the evidence before the committee, that it would be practicable between Bombay and Bussorah during every month of the year.

8. That the extension of the line of the Persian Gulf, by steam-navigation on the river Euphrates, has not been brought to the test of experiment; but that it appears from the evidence before the committee, that from the Persian Gulf to the town of Bir, which is nearer to the Mediterranean port of Scanderoon than Suez is to Alexandria, there would be no physical obstacles to the steam-navigation of that river during_at least eight months of the year; November, December, January, and February, being not absolutely excepted, but reserved for the results of further experience.

9. That there appear to be difficulties on the line of the Euphrates from the present state of the countries on that river, and particularly from the wandering Arab tribes, but that those difficulties do not appear to be by any means such as cannot be surmounted, especially by negotiations with the Porte, Mehemet Ali, and the chiefs of the principal fixed tribes; and that this route, besides having the prospect of being less expensive, presents so many other advantages, physical, commercial, and political, that it is eminently desirable that it should be brought to the test of a decisive experiment.

10. That the physical difficulties on the line of the Red Sea appearing to be confined to the months of June, July, August, and September, and those of the river Euphrates to the months of November, December, January, and February, the effective trial of both lines would open a certain communication with the Mediterranean in every month of the year, changing the line of the steam-vessels on both sides according to the

seasons.

11. That it be recommended to his Majesty's Government to extend the line of Malta packets to such ports in Egypt and Syria as will complete the communication between England and India.

12. That the expense of this experimen by the Euphrates has been, by an estimate which the committee has subjected to the examination of competent persons, stated at £20,000, which includes a liberal allowance for contingencies; and the committee recommend that a grant of £20,000 be made by Parliament for trying that experiment with the least possible delay."

A mode of overland communication with India, which has been some time set on foot under the direction of Mr. Robert Tod, a British merchant established at Damascus, and who has also a house at Bagdad, is the following:-He has organized a line of couriers from Damascus to Bagdad and Bussorah, aided by Col. Taylor, the British resident at the latter places, and with the concurrence of the present authorities in Syria. A courier is despatched once every twenty days from Damascus, and performs the journey to Bussorah in from sixteen to twenty-three days. Despatches are forwarded from Bussorah by the first vessel for Bombay. There is a monthly communication between Constantinople and Aleppo by Government Tartars, who usually take fifteen days between these two cities. This route has the advantage over others of being less exposed to the uncertainties of the sea. The ordinary time required from London to Bussorah would be about seventy days in this way,

NEW COLONY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

A public meeting of the promoters and friends of the projected colony in South Australia was held on the 30th June, which was attended by 2,000 persons. Mr. W. Wolryche Whitmore, M. P. in the chair..

The Chairman, in giving an outline of the objects proposed, proceeded to show that it was desirable that a greater extension should be given to our system of colonization, which should include members of all classes of society. Large numbers of emigrants went out with capital, but not carrying with them that number of the lower class which was necessary to employ their capital to advantage. In other cases the labourer went out without the capital necessary to enable him to employ his labour to advantage. Now the question they were called to consider regarded the best means of remedying that defect. Those means, it appeared to him, might be accomplished in this manner, viz. by establishing a system, that all the waste lands they were about to colonize should be sold at a given price, such as the market would command; and that the proceeds of such sales should be employed in sending out to the colonies a sufficient number of labourers to cultivate the land

so sold. If this system should be carried into effect, he apprehended that all the evils of our present system of colonization would be removed, and that we should be enabled to transplant a portion of the community of the mother country, with all its various grades, into the new country they now proposed to colcnize. The directors expected no advantage, either in a pecuniary point of view or in the way of patronage. A series of resolutions were proposed and unanimously adopted; after which the meeting broke up.

A bill for this purpose has been brought into the House of Commons, and was read a second time on the 23d July.

The projected Colony is to be near Spencer's Gulf.

DEATH OF P. HEATLY, ESQ.

On the 22d July, Patrick Heatly, Esq. of Hertford-street, May-fair, in the eightysecond year of his age. He was born in New England, in January 1753; his maternal ancestry, a branch of the ancient family of Talmash, being amongst the first English settlers in the new world.* At an early age Mr. Heatly entered the military service of the E, I, C. on the Bengal establishment, when the supernumerary cadets of that day were formed into a distinct body called "the Select Picquet," from which the battalions of the Nawab of Oude were officered in the warfare against the Rohillas, in which their leader, the brave Hafiz Rhamut Khan, was slain. But a few weeks ago he remarked to the writer, "this day sixty years I saw the head of Hafiz Rhamut brought into the Nawab's camp." To this early period, when his friendships were formed, which lasted through a long life, he was fond of reverting, but since the death of Majorgeneral Sir H. White, familiarly known from his often-displayed and cool gal.

This family, one of the oldest of England, continues to be one of the most distinguished in the United States, and is represented by General Talmash. In 1763, the subject of this memoir, as a boy remembered his great-grandfather, then nearly ninety years old; the extreme links of their existence, viz., 1673 and 1834, connecting two memorable epochs in English history. This was the son or grandson of the first emigrant from England, which country he quitted during the civil wars, and who founded East Hampton. The Heatly family, or as originally written, "Hatelie," was a Scotch-border family, whence a branch went to America, and resided during the revolutionary period at Newport, Rhode Island, and was well known to many distinguished office s, amongst whom was the late General Sir James Affleck, &c. Such was the estimation of his father's character, that his funeral was conducted at the expense of hs fellow-citizens, who recorded his virtues on his tomb.

lantry, as the "god of war," the sole survivors of the Select Picquet are the distinguished Sir John Kennaway, Bart., and Gen. Cameron, who commanded the Engineers. He did not remain long in the army, being appointed to the civil branch of the service, in which he had an elder brother, Suetonius Grant Heatly, well known to the survivors of that period for talent and amiability. He returned to England about the middle period of his life, and for the last thirty-six years was a member of the Committee of By-Laws of the India Direction.

A studied panegyric on his life would be opposed to its chief characteristic-simplicity-and an utter distaste for every kind of ostentation. But while the writer refrains therefrom, it is some consolation to himself and those who lament his loss, to recall his many virtues, at the head of which was undeviating rectitude of principle and action. To a sound understanding he added benevolence of heart, and an unvarying cheerfulness, which made him alike the favourite of young and old, towards whom he exercised a constant and unpretending hospitality. The remembrance of these qualities must ever be cherished by all connected with him, whether by ties of kindred or merely social intercourse. His intellect remained unclouded to the last, notwithstanding his physical suffering during six months; and he expired in that serenity of mind which marks the close of a good man's life.
