RAILWAYS IN INDIA. (From the Times.) It was stated in our city article of the 26th ult. that"The prospectus of the 'Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company' contains a statement, that 'the registrar of jointstock companies is satisfied that the company is not within the operation of the 7 & 8 Vict. c. 110, and therefore does not require to be registered.' The doubt which has existed as to the application of the statute in this case seems to have arisen from the fact that the railroad, though in India, does not necessarily come under the head of foreign railways, since it is formed with a distinct class of English shareholders, and a committee and funds separate from the foreign arrangements. It having been settled, however, that the Act does not apply, the limit of 5s. per share as a deposit is avoided, and £2. 10s. is expressed in the prospectus." This announcement created considerable sensation, as it was well known that the directors of the East-Indian Railway, acting on an opinion the reverse of the above, and under the impression that the company was in fact within the meaning of the Act, had, in compliance with its provisions, notwithstanding the prejudice the smallness of the deposit was calculated to engender, limited the deposits to 5s. per share. The subject, however, was of too much importance to be left in any doubt, and the directors instructed their solicitor, Mr. Freshfield, to place the following case before the learned counsel whose opinions we subjoin : : "QUERIES SUBMITTED TO THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL, MR. FITZROY KELLY, AND SIR JOHN BAYLEY, WITH THEIR OPINION THEREON. "1. Whether that company is within the purview and provisions of the Act of 7 & 8 Vict. c. 110. "2. Whether the promoters of that company could legally have advertised or taken a deposit exceeding 10s. per cent. on their proposed capital. "3. Whether the promoters of that company, or any of them, having advertised without registration, or taken a deposit exceeding 10s. per cent., would have been liable to any, and what, legal consequences for so doing.. "We are clearly of opinion that the East-Indian Railway Company is within the purview and provisions of 7 & 8 Vict. c. 110. The general powers of that Act are, by sect. 2, declared to apply to all joint-stock companies established in Great Britain (except Scotland, or established in Scotland with a place of business in Great Britain) for any commercial purpose, or purpose of profit; and the true test whether such a company is within the provisions of the Act or not is, the place where it is established, and not the place where the works are to be performed. The proviso in the same section exempts out of the general provisions of the Act railway and other companies there specified, which require the authority of Parliament, for the purpose of making them subject to the special provisions thereinafter provided by the 9th and 23rd sections, but not for the purpose of exempting them altogether from the operation of the Act. This company, therefore, being established in Great Britain, and being a joint-stock company for the purpose of commerce and profit, is, in our opinion, directly within the provisions of this Act, even though it does not require the authority of Parliament. "We, therefore, think that the promoters of the East-Indian Railway Company could not legally have advertised or taken a deposit exceeding 10s. per cent. on their proposed capital, and that if they did so they would be liable to the penalties imposed by sections 5 and 24. "Westminster, June 28, 1845." "FREDERICK Thesiger, "FITZROY KELLY, "JOHN BAYLEY. OPINION OF MR. LOFTUS WIGRAM. "1. I think that the company is within the purview and provisions of the Act 7 & 8 Viet. c. 110. It is a company established in Great Britain for purposes of profit, and appears to be not within any of the cases which are excepted from that Act. "2. I think that the promoters of the company could not legally have advertised or have taken a deposit exceeding 10s. per cent. on the proposed capital. I think this is the result of the 7th and 23rd sections of the Act. "3. The pecuniary penalties imposed by the Act do not seem to be applicable to the case in question (see sec. 24), but it would have been highly improper for the promoters to have disregarded the provisions of the Act. I apprehend the consequence of such a course would have been, that the receipt of the extra deposits would have been an illegal transaction, and that the promoters might have evaded their proper responsibility to the shareholders for the due application of the deposits,-a.state of circumstances which might be highly prejudicial to the company. "LOFTUS WIGRAM." "Lincoln's-Inn, June 28." ALLEGED SALE OF INDIAN PATRONAGE. On Friday, June 20, Mr. Dew and Capt. Rallett again appeared before Mr. Hardwicke for further examination. Mr. CLARKSON, on behalf of the East-India Company, requested that the parties charged might be liberated on bail for a week, as he expected by that time to produce others connected with the case. Mr. WILKINS thought the postponement advisable. Mr. GILLETT, who appeared for Mr. Dew, said that any delay would be prejudicial to that gentleman." After some further conversation, Mr. Coppard, at the request of Mr. GILLETT, was sworn and cross examined by the learned gentleman. Became first acquainted with Mr. Dew a few months back, through some business connected with a reversionary interest. In his opinion, Mr. Dew was an honest, straightforward man of business. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS.-Paid the money, £1,050, at Captain Spry's chambers, in Charles-street, when Mr. Saxty was present. Did not take the number of the notes, but knew where he got them. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON.-Mr. Dew told him be had £50 for his part in the transaction. Cross-examined by Mr. Dɛw.-On the discovery that the letter professing to come from Mr. Shank was a forgery, Mr. Dew gave him a good deal of information with respect to the share which other parties had in the transaction. The proceedings here closed, the parties being admitted to bail to appear on the Saturday previous to the next sessions. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS. JUNE 23.-HONG-KONG.-In reply to a question from Dr. Bowring, Mr. HOPE said that the disorderd state of society, caused by the secret societies of China, did not exist in Hong-Kong, but in Loo Choo. LORD ELLENBOROUGH'S RECALL.-Dr. BowRING (on behalf of Mr. HUME) postponed the motion respecting Lord Ellenbo rough and the Government of India to the 15th of July, JUNE 26.-INDIAN PRINCES.-Mr. HUME presented a petition from an agent of the Rajah of Sattara, complaining not only of the Rajah's having been unjustly deposed from his throne, but also of his having been robbed of his property by certain ser vants of the East-India Company, and praying that that property might be restored to him. Mr. HUME next presented a petition agreed to at a meeting of the India Hibernia Society, held some time ago in Dublin, complaining of great injustice having been practised on the King of Delhi, the Rajah of Sattara, and other native princes, by the East-India Company, and praying that the Government might adopt such measures as would release those princes from that injustice. The hon. member expressed a hope that certain documents connected with the property of the Rajah of Sattara might be laid before the House, as they would be necessary in the discussion of the motion of which he had given notice on this subject. INDIAN PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.-The following papers have been ordered to be laid before the House of Commons: A Return shewing the Sickness, Mortality, and Invaliding in the Hon. East-India Company's Armies in the Presidencies of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay respectively, from the year 1825 to 1844 inclusive. Also, Return of the Sickness, Mortality, and Invaliding of their Civil Service in each Presidency, from 1825 to 1844. Also, Return of the Sickness and Mortality in the Gaols and Civil Hospitals in the Presidencies and Dependencies of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay respectively, from 1825 to 1844 respectively. Also, Return of the Sickness, Mortality, and Invaliding in the Hon. East-India Company's Indian Navy. The House has likewise ordered a Return of Java Prize-money invested in promissory notes of the Bengal Government, and placed in possession of the East-India Company, specifying the period when so invested or paid over to the Company, and the rate of interest allowed thereon; stating also whether any and what distribution of the said prize-money has been made, and what amount is now in hand, and where placed. MISCELLANEOUS. REDUCTION OF POSTAGE BETWEEN CEYLON AND CHINA.-The following "instruction" has been issued from the General PostOffice: A line of mail steam-packets being about to be established between Ceylon and Hong-Kong, in connection with the direct Calcutta mail, which is despatched from England on the 20th and 24th of the month, all letters and newspapers for HongKong and China, with the exception of those which may be especially addressed via Bombay, via Calcutta, via Madras, or by any other port in India, or by private ship,' will in future be transmitted from this country by the Indian mail of the 20th and 24th of the month. Letters and newspapers for Hong-Kong and China, forwarded by the new line, will not be liable to the additional rate of 4d. on letters, and 2d. for newspapers, now levied. on account of the East-India Company. If, however, any letters or newspapers are specially addressed to Hong-Kong or China, via Bombay, via Calcutta, via Madras, or by any other port in India, they will still be subject to the additional rates alluded to. By command of the Postmaster-General.-General Post-Office, June, 1815." CHINESE GRASS CLOTH.-Messrs. Hargreave Brothers, of Leeds, have in their possession several samples of Chinese grass. This article is represented as possessing all the qualities of flax, but in a higher degree than any other known to our spinners or manufacturers-surpassing the best qualities in strength, fineness, and length of staple. The linen manufactured by them from this article greatly resembles French cambric, but with a more silky appearance. It would appear that the Chinese grass can be supplied in unlimited quantity; and if that should be the case, it must be a subject for congratulation, that an article of such large consumption in this country should be presenting itself as another exchangeable commodity for our manufactures, the rapidly extending consumption of which throughout China seems to be limited only by the means which they possess of making a suitable return for them. H. M. steam vessel Vulture sailed for the East Indies on the 19th ultimo, with a large amount of specie for the public service at the Mauritius and Hong-Kong. Capt. H. Johnson and Lieut. F. S. Tremlett, for the Agincourt, are on board as pas1 sengers. Sir J. THACKWELL returns to India, overland, in August. We understand that Her Majesty has graciously contributed the sum of 200l. to the subscription opened at Messrs. Grindlay and Co.'s for the erection of a monument to the memory of the late Major-Gen. Sir W. Nott. TROOPS FROM CALCUTTA.-Chatham, June 20.-On Thursday afternoon, the 19th inst., arrived the several detachments at the Invalid Depôt, Casemate Barracks, Brompton, consisting of one sergeant-major, 2 sergeants, 2 corporals, and 5 privates of the 3rd light dragoons; and 16 privates belonging to the 16th Lancers; with one colour-sergeant of the 3rd Buffs, that was left behind by the regiment when it sailed for England; 3 privates of the 9th foot, 1 colour-sergeant, 3 sergeants, and 39 privates of the 31st; 1 colour-sergeant and 1 private of the 39th; 2 privates of the 50th; and 9 women and 32 children belonging to the above. The detachments were in charge of Lieut. Gray, of the 39th, and came from India in the ship Prince of Wales, 1,350 tons burden, Captain Hopkins. The troops embarked at Calcutta on the 17th of February last, and sailed immediately: on arrival at the Cape the ship put in and remained seven days, taking in water and fresh provisions; and arrived off Gravesend, after an excellent passage of 122 days. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH CHINA.-On Monday the 23rd ult. the first monthly mail direct to China was despatched via the overland route. It will be conveyed to Ceylon, by the Oriental Steam Company's vessels carrying the Calcutta mails; and at Ceylon will be transferred to one of the same company's vessels, forming the branch line between Ceylon and Hong-Kong, touching at Penang and Singapore. By this arrangement HongKong is brought within 48 days' post of London.-English Gentleman. CANDIDATES FOR ADMISSION TO THE EAST-INDIA College. Wednesday the 9th, and Wednesday the 16th of July inst. are the days appointed for receiving the petitions from the candidates for admission into the East-India College next term, which will commence on Wednesday, the 10th of September. It will very much facilitate their passing if the candidates are instructed to attend at the College Department, East-India House, a day or two before they are presented to the committee. The examination before the Board of Examiners will be held at the East-India House, on Thursday, the 24th inst. NANKING DONATION BATTA.-Authority has been given for the payment of batta due to the officers and crew of the Company's war steamers the Madagascar, Tenasserim, Hooghly, Phlegethon, Pluto, and Proserpine, amounting in the aggregate to 9,0781. 15s. 3d. CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS AND STORES TO INDIA.-The following ships have been engaged for the conveyance of troops and stores for Calcutta and Bombay, viz., Southampton, Westmoreland, Sir Robert Peel, Owen Glendower, Bolton, Claudine, Malabar, and Mary Anne. MYSORE COFFEE.-A parcel of coffee, imported from Madras, the produce of the Mysore district, has within these few days been admitted at the low duty of 4d. per ll. The Lords of the Treasury, by an order dated the 13th of June, 1844, on an ap. plication from the East-India and China Association, respecting the admission of sugar and other articles from Mysore, directed that Mysore produce, being legally admissible as such, should be admitted as the produce of Madras; and since that period goods imported direct from Madras, and certified by a number of respectable brokers, judges of the article, as being the produce of the Mysore district, have been delivered as the produce of the former place. In the present instance, the coffee having been certified to as to its origin and produce in the manner alluded to, it has been decided that it is entitled to be admitted at the reduced rate of duty, under the authority of the order quoted, The Act 7th Victoria, c. 16, repeals the section of a former Act which required a certificate of production to entitle goods to be admitted as the produce of a British possession, within the limits of the East-India Company's charter, and hence the cause of the opinion of competent judges here being required to entitle Mysore produce to be admitted as such, at the same rate of duty as if the produce of Madras. women ARRIVAL OF TROOPS FROM BOMBAY AND MADRAS.-CHATHAM, July 1.-Last night, about ten o'clock, the following detachments of regiments serving in India arrived at the invalid depôt, Casemate barracks, Brompton :-One sergeant and 21 privates, of the 14th light dragoons, with 7 women and 10 children; 5 sergeants and 37 privates, of the 2nd Queen's; of the 13th light infantry, Prince Albert's own, 2 privates; of the 17th, 2 sergeants, corporals, and 35 privates, with 2 women and 2 children; of the 22nd, 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 3 drum. mers, and 45 privates, with 11 women and 16 children; of the 28th, 4 sergeants, 2 corporals, and 46 privates, with 7 women and 11 children; of the 78th highlanders, I sergeant and 10 privates, with 3 and 3 children;-making a total of 19 sergeants, 11 corporals, 4 drummers, and 218 rank and file, 34 women, and 46 children. The troops were in command of Major J. G. S. Gilland, of the 2nd Queen's, with Capt. Wakefield, of the 28th, Lieut. Wade, Lieut. Williams, and Lieut. Mitchell, three officers of the 13th light infantry. These troops embarked at Bombay, on board the ship Herefordshire, of 1,400 tons burden, Capt. Richardson, for England on the 24th of February last, and arrived off Gravesend on Monday, the 30th June, after a passage of four months and four days, during which time the troops lost by death 28 men, viz.-1 man 17th, 3 men 14th light dragoons, 7 men 2nd Queen's, 6 men 22nd, 4 men 28th, 4 men 86th, and 3 men 78th highlanders, and 2 children. Major Kennett, of the Hon. Company's service, a passenger, and Mr. Porter, steward of the Herefordshire, died on the voyage. One man of the 3rd buffs, named Edwards, a prisoner under sentence of a court-martial, came with the troops. The men of the 28th are those who were providentially saved from that malignant fever which nearly carried off the whole of the regiment in Scinde. The troops will undergo medical inspec tion previous to their discharge on the respective pensions. A detachment, consisting of 31 men, with 3 women and 7 children, belonging to the 94th regiment, under the command of Captain Doar, arrived yesterday afternoon at the invalid depôt from Gravesend, where they disembarked from the ship True Briton. This detachment embarked at Madras on the 3rd of March last. The only death on board was that of one man belonging to the Company's service. THE MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 26, 6 P. M.-The Oriental Company's steam ship Great Liverpool, Capt. Maclead, has just arrived from Alexandria, without touching at Motherbank. She brings the East India and China mails, which will be landed in time to be forwarded to London by the two o'clock train, A.M. to-morrow. PROMOTION OF EDUCATION IN INDIA.-It has recently been determined to place the college at Benares, and the English seminary at that city, under a principal duly qualified by an acquaintance with the Sanscrit language, united with a competent knowledge of English literature and of mathematical science. No one thus qualified being to be met with in India, the Court of Directors have appointed Mr. James Ballantyne to this office, and he will proceed to India by the mail packet from Southampton on the 20th instant. PORTRAIT OF THE REV. C. W. LE BAS.-On the retirement of this gentleman from the office of Principal of the East-India College, a wish for his portrait was expressed by a considerable number of his friends. At the solicitation of Mr. Hooper, of the College Department, East-India House, the reverend gentleman consented to sit to Mr. Andrew Martin, and the picture, when completed, was placed in the hands of an engraver, with a view to the gratification of those at whose instance it was painted. That object being attained, Mr. Hooper felt desirous of presenting the picture to the college with which Mr. Le Bas was so long connected, and the Court of Directors having given their sanction the desire has been carried into effect. GRATEFUL TESTIMONIAL TO A SEPOY.-The people of Perth have done honour to themselves, not less than to the object of their grateful kindness, by presenting to a native soldier, who nobly defended the body of Lieut.
