Favourite children, we know, are always prodigies, and (according to the reports of their friends) every body who comes near is struck by their beauty, intelligence, amiability, and what not. So it is with Sir Charles Napier in the pages of his brother. The following is modest and moderate: Widely spread is his fame as a general; widely also as an administrator and Eastern ruler. His name is known, and his warfare dreaded, throughout Central Asia. Distant barbarian princes seek his friendship and alliance, for they cannot separate the idea of sove. reign power from great exploits in battle. Curious proof of this has been recently furnished by two embassies in the beginning of the present year. The first from Yar Mohamed of Herat, who sent his nephew with presents and credentials to the Bombay Government; but the prince, thinking Sir Charles Napier the greater power, turned aside to him and offered his presents. His object was to bespeak the good-will of the British Government; the General advised him to continue his journey to Bombay; he did so, and was most ungraciously received. Scarcely had he quitted the head-quarters, when another prince, sent by the Khan of Khiva, or Orgunjie, whose dominions touch on the Aral Sea, arrived also with presents, sent direct to the Conqueror of Scinde. He had made his way with great difficulty and danger, and after presenting his credentials delivered this message: "The Khan of Khiva hates the Russians; and the Bokhara ruler; and the man of Herat. Why do you English, of whom it is said, you will avenge even the death of a dog, suffer tamely the massacre of your army at Cabool? If you will attack the Affghans, the Khan will assist you. If you will attack the man of Herat and the Ameer of Bokhara from the east, the Khan will attack them from the west, and success will be certain." Such is the renown of Sir Charles Napier in Central Asia. With twelve thousand selected troops he could gibbet the murderer of Bokhara over the graves of Connolly and Stoddart. The glory he has gained by arms and policy is too bright to be obscured by the foul breath of insidious maligners. The morning sun which lights up the mountain's brow, raises malignant vapours from the marsh at its base, the midday sun disperses them. Yes, truly, from the days of "the brave Cornish man," Jack the Giant-killer, no one seems to have enjoyed any thing like the reputation of Sir Charles Napier. It is clear, at least, to General William Napier (Member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Military Science),-that the work of laying the foundations of British power in Asia was reserved for the man that razed those of the Sindian government. We had thought that something had been done in former times to make the English name known and respected,-something by Clive, the soldier born; by Coote, to whose effigy the worn-out veteran, after the lapse of fifty years, made salaam; by Wellesley, the conqueror of the generals who had conquered all Europe; and by Lake, the soul of chivalry, we had thought that, in our own times (and in those of Sir Charles Napier), the deeds of Pollock, Nott, and Sale had given those officers and the country for which they fought some chance of being remembered beyond the confines of the British dominions; but it seems we were mistaken... Asia knows but one man, and that man is Sir Charles Napier. He "doth bestride the narrow world like a colossus," and all that the rest of mankind have to do is "to peep about to find themselves dishonourable graves." But no! there is occupation for one man more, the member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Military Science: his be the noble duty of chronicling the glories of “the man," par excellence, and calling on the world to worship them. Yet surely this system is creditable neither to the flatterer nor the flattered. Sir Charles Napier is undoubtedly a good soldier -why does he want a puffer more than other good soldiers? Is it not pitiable that a British general, in place of following the calm and dignified example of his brother officers, and relying on his services to win the applause of his countrymen, should descend to the arts of an itinerant juggler, and, like the proprietor of a twopenny show, retain a touter to thrust his bills into the hands of all who will receive them, and cry, "Walk in, ladies and gentlemen, and view the greatest hero in the world?" Is it not pitiable, again, to find that another British general is willing to accept this degrading office? But so it is. If we might presume to advise the latter functionary as to the future performance of his duties, there are one or two points in addition to those already mentioned, in which, with great humility, we venture to think he might receive a hint from ordinary men with advantage. In the first place, we would suggest that his brush is rather coarse, and his contrasts somewhat too violent. His angels are just a thought too bright and his devils a trifle too black. Sir Charles Napier and Lord Ellenborough are presented in most dazzling whiteness; the senses are bewildered, and we become "giddy with too much light.". On the other hand, the portraitures with which we are favoured of the Ameers have every demoniacal characteristic plastered on and heightened up till we stand aghast and know not what to think. We are sorry to say it, but we have our misgivings about the iron ring which was to be thrust through Sir Charles Napier's nose (we are glad that he escaped so unseemly an invasion of his nasal regions), and in the catalogue of enormities, extending over four pages, from 345 to 348, there are some things upon the propriety of believing which we feel it necessary to consult our friends. It seems that it was a favourite amusement of the Ameers with their own hands to chop up the ladies of their harems into small bits-they occasionally performed the same exercise on their newly-born children. Other recreations of like nature are mentioned, and it is no wonder, therefore, that the indignation of the historian escapes in repeated volleys of execration, which might almost make Dr. Slop gasp. But there should be moderation in all things-even in cursing; and though we do not doubt that the Ameers were persons with whom Moloch might decline to keep company lest his character for humanity should suffer, General Napier should have some regard for those readers whose powers of digesting the marvellous and the horrible is not of the strongest. Desdemona received Othello's strange recitals without wincing; but then she was in love. General Napier, like Othello, is a great warrior, with the recommendation of a better complexion; but then all his readers are not ladies, and of those who are, all are not in love with him. Secondly, we could wish, for his own sake and ours, that when Gen. William Napier, Member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Military Science, makes any sweeping demolition of any particular class of persons, he would exercise such a degree of care in the choice of his illustrations, as should spare the reader the expense of an ejaculation of astonishment at their absurdity. Now our great respect for Gen. Napier's judgment causes us to regret his having lamentably failed, in this respect, in the volume under notice. At page 285 he indulges, according to his custom, in a general sneer at the 'smart youths" employed as political agents, and two illustrations are given of the doings of these "smart youths" which cause us to stare. One is afforded by the proceedings of Col. Outram in Sinde; the other by the disaster at Kabool, which is pronounced to be "quite in the ordinary course of things." The first of these, the General shall renounce for himself. At page 468, he speaks of Col. Outram returning to a political post, which he had held twenty years before. Now we do not care to inquire whether Col. Outram be entitled to be called "smart" or not, but we think it is pretty evident that a man employed for twenty years in diplomatic services could not, at the end of that period, be much of a youth, except in the sense of the old lady, who, living to the advanced age of a hundred and ten, had the affliction of losing a daughter aged eighty, and thereupon exclaimed, "Ah! I always said that poor child would be short-lived." As to the second illustration, the chief political agent at Kabool was Sir William McNaghten, who, at the time of his lamented death, had numbered, we believe, nearly fifty years. We do not condescend to vindicate the abilities of either Sir William McNaghten or Col. Outram, against such an accuser as Gen. William Napier, a man who writes apparently without thought or care whether the line dropping from his pen is in conformity or at variance with that which immediately preceded it; we have done enough in directing attention to the age of the persons, whom this careful and consistent historian despises for immaturity. Thirdly, we would advise General William Napier, as he values the good will of his countrymen, never to undertake the defence of any principles which the common feeling of civilized men have declared to be odious and detestable. We cannot find language adequate to the expression of our horror at reading the atrocious sentiments avowed on page 344, in regard to the treatment of captives. We dare not, indeed, trust ourselves to dwell upon the subject: suffice it to say, for the information of those who have not read the book, that a man who bears the commission of the Queen of Great Britain has employed the English tongue in an attempt to justify the putting prisoners to death in cold blood! We turn from the contaminated page, as one would fly from something hideous, loathsome, and pestilential, and, closing the book in unutterable disgust, feel scarcely warranted in re-opening it. The book from which we thus recoil is the work of a man whom the Swedish Royal Society of Military Science (whoever they may be), delight to honour-of one who has prated through ponderous quartos and flimsy pamphlets of liberty and humanity -who has for years been libelling all who would not bow down to his idol of democracy, but who now finds that the family interests can be better promoted by the worship of despotism. And here we take leave of the most discreditable book ever put forth by one entitled to wear the uniform of a British officer. East-India House, 30th April, 1845.

THE COURT of DIRECTORS of notice, THE LONDON MAIL, ABI-MONTHLY NEWSPAPER, published in London in the afternoon of the days for transmitting the Overland Mail to India, via Marseilles.-Among the immense mass of information conveyed by this Journal, is a careful condensation of all Public News, Domestic, Foreign, and Commercial-the various movements in Private and Official Life, and in the Military and Naval Services of her Majesty and the East-India CompanyAccidents and Offences-Court and Fashion-Civil and Criminal Trials, and Details of the Progress of the Arts and Sciences. The LONDON MAIL does not depend, like all other Journals, upon chance or caprice, but is compiled for the purpose of being sent gratuitously to the Subscribers of the three leading Journals of India, viz. the BENGAL HURKARU, the BOMBAY TIMES, and the MADRAS SPECTATOR; and it is thus by far the most widely circulated Paper in all India, extending throughout the entire Indian Continent, Central Asia, Ceylon, Mauritius, Penang, Malacca, Singapore, Java, China, Australasia, and South Africa. The compilation is conducted with a care proportioned to their high responsibility, the Editor indulging in no speculations, but confining himself to the task of preparing and arranging an unparalleled mass of news, brought up to the hour of publication, and embracing every thing that can possess any interest for British Subjects in the Eastern World. The London Publishers of the LONDON MAIL are Messrs. Bradbury & Evans, Lombard Street, Fleet Street, to whose care Advertisements and other Communications to the Editor may be addressed; or to the care of Messrs. Wm. H. Allen & Co., 7, Leadenhall Street; Mr. J. M. Richardson, 23, Cornhill; and Messrs. Smith, Elder, & Co., 65, Cornhill. The introduction into British India of Railway communication has been justly regarded as one of the forward. most important measures, both to the Government and to the public, which has ever been brought has been bestowed upon the statistical data which their commercial operations enabled them to ascertain The subject has occupied the attention of mercantile men for some years, and much consideration correctly, as well as by inquiry into the official returns received by the Local Government upon the subject. The result of these inquiries has demonstrated most satisfactorily, 1st. That a Railway communication between the several principal cities in India will be attended with the greatest advantages to the Government and to the public, both European and Native; and 2nd. That from the increased facilities of transport the demand for British goods would increase proportionately; and the development of Indian resources be promoted. munications with the Court of Directors of the Hon. East-India Company, the substance of which will Impressed with these considerations, the gentlemen who form this association have had various combe found in the correspondence between Sir George Larpent and Mr. Stephenson on the part of this Company, and Mr. Melvill, the Secretary to the East-India Company (for which see another part of this paper). Upon the result of these communications, it is satisfactory to find that the East-India Company and Her Majesty's Government are duly impressed with the importance of the subject, and that they have decided on sending out an eminent Engineer to undertake the preparatory investigations and surveys, and that they will also be prepared to give the necessary encouragement and support to a Company to be formed for the purpose of undertaking the construction of Railways in India, provided the result of the ticability and advantage. The object that the promoters of this undertaking have now in view is, to form a Company to be in a position to avail itself of an arrangement to be made with the East-India Company, for the execution of the line to be selected by them, provided that it shall be made apparent that it can be done with prospect of advantage to the undertaking. Assuming the line from Calcutta to Mirzapore to be that most likely to be selected, as being the most wanted, the estimates of cost already made for that line have been taken as a guide for the present purpose; and it is proposed to raise a capital of four millions, which it is estimated will be sufficient for the construction of such a line; but in the ultimate choice of the line to be first executed, the Directors will be guided by the results of the survey about to be made by the Bengal Government. The official correspondence which has taken place upon the subject with the Bengal Government, as well as the opinions of several of the principal commercial houses of Calcutta, and of the officers in the service of the East-India Company, with the whole of the official returns, and other detailed information respecting the extent of trade, and the number of passengers upon this line, will be found in full and carefully arranged detail in the Report of Mr. R. Macdonald Stephenson, lately published. The operations of the Company will be under the direct superintendence of the Government of Bengal; and the working thereof to be subject to the inspection and sanction of their officers, so as to bring the arrangements into a position as nearly analogous to that of the British Railroads, under the Board of Trade, as the different circumstances of the two countries may render practicable. The management of the affairs of the Company will be vested in a Board of Directors in London, who will appoint one or more Local Committees, selected from among the most respectable and influential parties in India, to whom they will delegate such powers as may be necessary for the purpose of effectually performing the duties imposed upon them. The Board in London will consist of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Directors, who shall have the entire management of the Company's affairs, with power to appoint one or more of their body as Managing Directors. Half-yearly meetings of the Shareholders will be convened for the purpose of declaring a dividend, and to report the proceedings of the Directors, and the state and progress of the Company's operations. The qualification of a Director to be 20 shares, of an Auditor 10 shares. The dividends to be paid in London or Calcutta at the exchange rate of 2s. per rupee. The Instalments will be called for in the following proportion : On allotment of shares, 5s. per share. The remainder at intervals of not less than three months, or above £5 per share at one instalment. In the arrangement contemplated to be made with the East-India Company, the exertions of the Board will be directed to the object of obtaining interest to the Shareholders, in the interval between the commencement and opening of the first line of Railway undertaken. The deposit to be made on subscription will be 58. per share, which is the extreme amount allowed to be taken as a deposit on a share of £50 by a Company previous to complete registration. A subscription contract will be prepared, to be executed by the Shareholders. It is intended also to apply for a Charter of Incorporation or Act of Parliament. In the event of the negotiations with the Bengal Government not being in all respects satisfactory to the Board, the principal sum subscribed will be returned to the Shareholders, less the amount expended in preliminary expenses, including those already incurred by Mr. Stephenson. Applications for shares to be made, in the annexed form, to Mr. Stephenson, the Managing Director, to Messrs. Lawrence, Cazenove, and Co., and to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, stock and sharebrokers, and no application will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
