      " Thbenam Tenure.-R-The Most Important F...

      " thbEnam Tenure .-r-The most important feature in Madras news is the fact that a commissioner to inquire Into the titles of Enamdars has been appointed under Se authority of the late Court of Directors . The gentleman selected by Government to hold that office * Mr . SsT Taylor , and the date of the despatch authoring the inquiry is the 1 st of September , The Madras Attenmum says that the measure is regarded as most impolitic , and in direct opposition to the assurance contained in that part of the Proclamation which says : — « We know and respect the feelings of attachment with which the natives of India regard the lands inherited by them from their ancestors ; and we desire to protect them in all rights connected therewith subject to the eauitable demands of the State ; and we will that

      generally in framing and administering the law , due regard be paid to the ancient rights , usages , and customs of India . " " The present Enamdars ,: or rent-free landholders , " continues the Aihenceum , " have inherited the lands of which . they are now possessed ; and they and their ancestors have been in uninterrupted possession of those lands for periods varying from fifty to seventy years . They are now called on to show by what right they hold their property ; the onus jrrobandi is thrown upon them . Of living witnesses to support their claim , there will be few , and , in all probability , of titledeeds there will be fewer still ; so that , if the commission is persevered in , there can be very little doubt as to the nature of the final result . The injustice of the measure , to use the mildest wore ! , is shown by the facts

      that the English law recognises twenty years possession as giving a title , and will presume from such possession a lawful grant . And the English law presumes this for the furtherance of justice and the sake of peace . That thbre is wisdom ill this course is sufficiently proved by the rebellion in the Southern" Mahratta country , where an Inam commission has been at work . Railways in Egypt . — Therailway to Suez being now completed , Egypt possesses the following lines : — From Alexandria to Cairo , 131 miles ; to Mariouth , 17 ; te Meks , 6 ; to Rassateeiij 3 . Frpm Tanta to Samanud there is rail for ' 21 miles ; from Cairo to Suez , 91 ; to

      Barragd , 15 ; to Beni Sueff , 76—in all , 360 miles . Besides these there are smaller branches * from Cairo to the citadel and Kasr Nin . ; from Samanud to Mansoura and Damietta ; from Diin . ahdur to Afte , which last extends to Rosetta . The exact mileage of these minor , but still important , lines is not yet accurately known . The bridge of Kasr Zayat across the Nile is a splendid work , and must be finished by June , I 860 . It bids fair to be one of the wonders of the world . When the railway system is properly developed there will be a saving of 20 , 000 / . per annum in the expense of forwarding the Indian mail . ¦

      Trade of the Colonies . —A blue book , of 300 pages , was published on Wednesday , which contains a series of statistical tables relating to the colonial and other possessions of the United Kingdom , forming Part III . of the set , and referring to the year 1856 . An abstract of the movement of shipping and trade in that year shows that the total imports and exports into and from the various colonies were ( in 1856 ) as follows : — - Namely , the " East Indies" ( as the official dialect perversely persists in miscalling our groat empire in Asia , as if in absurd antithesis to the cluster of islands in the Caribbean Sea ) , India rnther let us write ) , imports , 25 , 214 , 782 ^ . ( 11 , 608 , 312 / . from England ) , andexports . 23 , 639 , 43 j / . ( whereof 10 , 305 , 581 , )/ .

      Governments are to encourage further contributions . Yet if we may judge from the state of the sharemarket since New Year's-day , it is to be inferred that we have entered upon these investments without any adequate understanding as to the extent to which ; in the event of a European rupture , they are to be treated with the consideration bestowed on all other private property . While French , Sardinian , and Austrian Government stocks have declined 5 per cent ., the shares of the railways in Austria , Lombardy , arid Piedmont have sustained a fall of between 15 and 35 per cent . Indeed , in the Lombardo-Venetian the momentary depreciation has been much heavier , and this instance affords the best exemplification of the nature of the fears on the question . The 20 / . shares of that concern , on which 6 / . is paid , stood at nearly 9 / . a few days before the opening of the new year . They

      have since touched 5 / ., thus showing a depreciation of nearly 50 per cent . The net profits are at present at the rate of about 12 per cent , per annum , and there are solid data to warrant an expectation that under normal circumstances they will not merely be maintained , but exceeded . Yet the mere rumour of war has produced an effect as if half the property had at once been irretrievably swept away . Are we to assume , therefore , that a railway in any country which may be the scene of hostilities is necssarily to be considered a ruined enterprise , and that it must be expected either to remain shut up for years , or to be exposed to wanton destruction ? Supposing views of this kind to be seriously entertained , they must apply to every continental line almost indiscriminately , since the point at which a war commences is frequently that which suffers the least from its ultimate ravages . —Times .

      Meoitterrakean Telegraph . —/ . The cable has been laid to Constantinople and the Dardanelles . The operations for its prolongation to Candia and Egypt will be recommenced next spring . Another submarine telegraph will be laid between Constantinople and Scutari , which will be the head of the line to Bagdad . . The Greek Chambers have voted 600 , 000 drachmas to connect Syra with the above telegraph communication . Uniform Weight for Corn . — -The movement in favour of selling and buying ( wholesale ) all grain , flour , and meal by a uniform quantity of 1001 b . appears to be extending . At a meeting of the Glasgow Corn Trade Association on Monday last , Mr . Ure moved a resolution , which was to the effect " that the resolution adopted here , at a meeting of the trade , on the 22 nd of October last , in favour of selling all grain , flour , and meal by a uniform quantity of 1001 b . be now carried into effect , and that the same come into operation on the 1 st of February next . " This was seconded , and , after some discussion , it was carried unanimously .

      Testimonial to Mr . Bazley , M . P . —A meeting , pnncipallj' composed of members of the late Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures , was held yesterday afternoon , in the Mayor ' s parlour , Town Hall , Manchester , for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Thomas Bazley , Esq ., M . P . The testimonial consists of a silver candelabrum , or epergne , of the value of four hundred guineas , and bearing the inscription— - " Presented by the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures , at Manchester , to Thomas Bazley , Esq ., who held the office of President during a period of fourteen years . " Ivie Mackie , Esq ., mayor , presided ; and the presentation was made by Mr . H . Ashworth , who was for many years Vice-President ; of the Chamber . Mr . Bazley responded , briefly indicating the part the Chaniber had taken , from its formation , in the . great efforts to promote froodom of commerce . John CUeetham , Esq ., M .

By A PHYSICIAN . Few diseases are more prevalent , less understood , and consequently more erroneously treated , than the above , to which thousands of invalids , whose prolonged sufferings have been an * enigma to their friends , trace their position j while in most cases the immediate cause of tbose complaints remains unknown to them , and . any treatment , in the absence of this knowledge , becomes uncertain , often fruitless . Where ordinary resources prove abortive , the use of the microscope is not unfrcquently attended with the happiest results , the long * concealed cause of much misery being thereby brought to light , and a correct and generally successful mode of treatment at once indicated . The object of this work is to clear up some matters of vital importance that havo hitherto remained obscure , and to point out to tho nervous and hypochondriacal invalid the means by which he may arrive at a state of health to which , in all probability , ho has lone been a stranger .
