    there is one encouraging fact—the trade of India is advancing with gig : » ntic strides ; that of Calcutta for 1858-59 amounts to about 31 millions sterling , or an increase of a million and a quarter on the preceding year ; that of Bombay is the same ; of Rangoon , 3 ; of Madras , 7 ; of Kurrachee , 2 * ; with the small coast ports we have a total of upwards of 75 millions . The imports of silver into Bengal alone within the last five years reach 20 millions sterling .

    THE XASA SAHIB . The following is from the Henyal Hurhcru : — During the fortnight we liave had some news of the Nana . The miscreant , who is still in the Kepnul Tarai , has had the impudence to send an offer to the X , ieutenant-governor of the North Western Provinces , offering to surrender if Poona , Sattara , be restored to him . He requires , however , that the pardon be signed by the Queen , and that it be transmitted to him through the French consul . "VVe trust that as soon as the rains are over , an expedition will be sent out to hunt down this infamous rebel and his confederates .

    The PpnT of Kurrachee , —The Friend of India . gays : —As the resources of the country are developed , and trade increases , the more purely European cities of India grow with amazing rapidity . The tendency of a conservative people like the Hindoos , or a non-commercial race like the Mussulmans , is to raise great cities in the interior , and feed them with the overgrown wealth wrung from the provinces . Genuine taste , barbaric pride , and sensual gratification caused them to rise arid to extend with everincreasing splendour , all the more remarkable from the misery around it . Invasion and Avar , which blackened the fairest districts , little affected the cities . They sprang up from their ashes only to be more When

    splendid and more wealthy than before ^ they depended " at all on commerce , the tolls of the rivers and the transit duties were sufficient to satisfy them . But a trading company and a nation who resort to war only to extend , and secure the uses of peace , have acted on a different policy . They have drawn the wealth of the centre to the extremities ^ and for the glories of old Delhi and IAicknow , of Lahore and Hyderabad , have substituted the utilitarian plainness of Calcutta and Bombay , of Kurrachee and Madras . Even the permanent centres of the power and depots of their wealth—London , Liverpool , and Glasgow—are lacking in the very rudiments of grandeur . The growth of European cities in India

    will depend much oh their internal government . Health , security , comfort , the steady increase of personal wealth , are all affected by that . Calcutta and Bombay owe something to their municipal authorities . How much more might not have been accomplished if these authoi'ities had been more energetic , more wealthy , and more liable to be influenced by public opinion . A municipality is the only body which can counterbalance the evils arising from the incessant fluctuation of the Europeans in India . The requirements of great public bodies , such as railway companies , will assist in making the improvements demanded by progress , and in rendering them permanent . Kurrachee is a good instance

    of municipal development . In 1853 its municipality was first established , and in the year 1858-59 it raised about 61 , 000 rupees , of which about 52 , 000 was expended , leaving a balance of 27 , 862 rupees . Kurrachee is now beginning to have , all , the appliances , privileges , and comforts of a large European town , while the taxes , and the mode in which they are raised , do not seem to be oppressive . Half of the revenue is derived from town duties , and this source has yielded threefold during the past four years . There is a wheel tax , and fees are paid on tljo sale of liquor , on markets , and for registry of deeds . The committee have recently received from England a supply of cab and

    cart plates , such as are xised in London . Three new roods , one of which is called Havelock-road , have been made during the year . A new town has been laid out near the railway station , and three regular streets of store-houses are being formed by the railway officials , nnd the representatives of Bombay firms . The tanks have boon walled in with masonry , the wells improved and increased in number , and pipes laid down from them along the main road , whore there are to bo seven cisterns with fountains , to supply the wants of the port and shipping . A bill , islativcouncil to

    ia npw passing through the leg e enable the committee to raise ten lacs of rupees at nino per cent , to supply the whole town with good water from the Mulleor river , 14 miles distant . The interest is to be paid jind the works kept in repair by a water rate of ?» J per cent , on the value of houses and lands . From the xnunioipal funds a grant of Rs . 100 a month is given to the Kurraoheo aohools . The municipal revenue of Calcutta is ooven lftca of rupees , and that of Madras two and almlfw It Bpeak . 8 well for Kurracheo with ita comparatively om » H population of 25 , 000 that it , raises nearly two-thirds of a lao ,

    THE QUARTER'S REVENUE . The account is favourable , though showing a slight decrease as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year . In Customs there is an increase of nearly 16 Q , 000 £ . On the item of sugar there is an apparent decrease , caused by payments made in June last under the impression of a probable addition to the duty . Excise shows an increase of upwards of 450 , OOOJ ., derived principally from spirits and malt , and , indeed from every article excepting hops . Stamps are increased to the extent of more than l () 0 , 006 Z . from Legacy and Succession Duties . A slight increase has taken place in Land and Assessed Taxes . In Income Tax tljereisadecrenseofabout 580 3 OO 0 Z ., owing to the decline in the rate of . duty . The Post-office income augmentation this quarter is 35 000 ?

    The miscellaneous items present a ialhng off of nearly 191 , 000 / . Thus , on the quarter , there is a gross increase on the principal sources of revenue of nearly 800 , 000 ^ The account for the year yields a general increase of about 800 , 0007 ., notwithstanding the diminished receipts of more than 2 , 6 bO , 000 Z . from income-tax . The real increase therefore would otherwise have been nearly 3 , 000 , 0002 . The following are the items of increase derived from the same sources as tlio 3 e specified in the quarter ' s statement , with the addition of an increased receipt ( on the . year ) from stamps on bankers' cheques : —^ -Customs ( about ) £ 1 , 330 , 000 ; Excise , £ 040 , 000 ; Stamps , £ 200 , 000 ; Land and Assessed Taxes , £ 52 , 000 ; Post-Office , £ 230 , 000 ; Crown Lands , £ 4 , 000 ; Miscellaneous , £ 157 , 000 .

    CENTRAL ITALY . A special correspondent of the Ti ? nes says : —The latest and most accredited report respecting the settlement of the affairs of Italy is , that the Grand Duke Ferdinand will regain his throne , not by forcible means , but by ah appeal to un iversal suffrage , accompanied by the grant of a constitution and by a general amnesty ; that the Duchess of Par ma will have Modena , and that Parma will remain annexed to Piedmont . As regards the Legations , people say nothing , or as little as possible , for they see well that there is the chief difficulty . Exand t be

    tensive reforms are urgent , say some , mus obtained ; but how to obtain them in presence of the steady , passive resistance of the Papal Government is a question none can answer . On the other hand , after the height to which their hopes have been raised , it is not a small measure of reform that would satisfy the Itoinngnoli-nor anything , probably , that was short of their complete deliverance from the detested government of priests . I observe that some ol their warmest and most sanguine partisans here seem to have given up hopes of their being-emancipated trom 1 apai rule .
