waiting at Alexandria the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's boats from Malta; the consequence of which has been that a portion of intelligence from the East has reached Europe by the French Government steamer direct from Alexandria to Marseilles (via Malta) before the correspondence could be forwarded by the usual means. The French boats, it is affirmed, are new and powerful, and usually perform the voyage from Malta to Marseilles in seventy to seventy-two hours; while it is alleged that of the four English packets employed to convey the mail from Malta to Marseilles, one only, the Polyphemus, from her power, is fitted for the service. Other facts put forth are these:-The Volcano, a boat which has recently arrived from England, was engaged four days and twelve hours in conveying the mails to Marseilles on her last trip in June, and is in so defective a state as to necessitate a thorough repair. The Sydenham is also a slow boat, and seldom performs the distance in less than eighty-six hours. The Acheron has served two years and a half on the sta tion, and from being a fast boat has become so slow as to have taken four days and thirteen hours in her last trip to Marseilles, a great portion of the distance having been most favourable to her, from a fair wind and a calm sea. She is ordered home. Another boat bas just arrived, the Spitfire, but she, too, is a very slow one; and the Locust, a small boat sometimes employed on this service in cases of urgency, is as slow in her movements as the steam-packets above mentioned. The Polyphemus alone is equal to her work, and is seldom five hours behind in her passage. These statements are given to the public just as we have received them. If time and expedition be an object of her Majesty's Government in the transmission of the Indian mail, of which no doubt ought to be entertained, it will be very necessary that boats of greater power should be employed in this service, so important to the country as to have become in all respects a national object.—Times.

SO MANY guides for the traveller between India and England appear, that a foreigner might be led to suppose that a large portion of the British nation passed their lives on the route, and that every Englishman made the journey at least once in his life. Most people will think that we have now enough of these works, and we would suggest that the manufacture stop. The publication before us does not differ materially from its predecessors, except in being garnished with poetry from the pen of the compiler, who is already known as a votary of the Muses. The following specimen will be read with pleasure : A CALM AFTER A GALE. Like mountain-mists that roll on sultry airs, The vexed and wearied main. The moon appears, And Home's dear forms are like departed dreams! A Tour through the Valley of the Meuse, with Legends of the Walloon Country and the Ardennes. By DUDLEY COSTELLO. London, 1845. Chapman and Hall. THIS book, as our readers will perceive, is the production of a gentleman who has acquired considerable celebrity as a maga. zine writer, and it is worthy of his reputation. It is replete with anecdotes, amusing and light, and one great beauty of the work is, that it is thoroughly free from egotism, that besetting sin of travellers, who imagine that all the world are standing with gaping mouths and extended eyes to learn what they did when abroad. The course followed by our author was no guide-book line, but one which he had the temerity to strike out for himself, and the route selected was the lovely valley of the Meuse, to which he has done ample justice. The volume is adorned with illustrations, which are executed with great spirit. THIS work is partly original, partly compiled, and both por tions are executed with judgment. The writer resided nine years among the Sikhs, and those who seek information respecting that strange people and the country which they inhabit, cannot, we apprehend, consult a more trustworthy guide. Col. Steinbach's views as to British connection with the Punjaub are thus delivered in the preface: "The author and compiler of the following work does not pro fess to be alive to the intentions of the British Government in respect to the Punjaub, but he thinks the annexation of that extensive and fertile territory to the provinces of British India so necessary and unavoidable a result (sooner or later) of its present state of disruption, that he regards it as a duty to give his countrymen the clearest notions of the Sikh state it is in his power to convey." Duties are reciprocal, and we hope those for whom the book is prepared will feel it a duty to read it. CHAR NEW CHARTS.
