In a letter from Bombay, Lord Braskey ways: *****It cannot be generally known that India is. still without a single dock capable of receiving an ironolad even of the second class. The Bač- chants, the present fingship on the Indian station, is not an ironclad, but the nearest deck under Brilish jurisdiction into which she could be taken is at Multo, distant 4,000 miles from Bom- bay. It is not too much to say that until a suit- able dank has banu provided on the station and Bombay in the proper place ao serious fighting phong vassol in the East Indian squadron can bỏ maintained in a state of efficióney. Not ta sponk of repairs, vessels stationed in tropi pal waters sustain a great loss to point of speed, unless they aro docked at frequent in. *tervals. It la superficons to add that a necessity so obvions as that to which I'm anxious to in- :vite attention has been long since recognised by the Admiralty and in India. Action has boo delayed through the difficulty of coming to an agreement as to the proportions in which the cost should be divided us but voor England and Baighong India. The pressure of puklio opinion-possibly | Rangkong... 1991. s question in the House of Commons-right materially help to sortla the controversy. It may he suggested at a venture that it would not be very far from just to divide the cost in equal moieties. A contribution of £50,000 a year for three years from each of the Government con- esrned would not be an intolerable borden on their financial resources, and it would be suffi clont for the purpose "

A Parliamentary return just issued contains a deapatob addressed to Sir 11. Drummond Wolff, by Lieutenant-Colonel Parr, from the beadguar- ters of the Egyptian army it Cairo, dated Jane uary 17, 1836. The statements made by Colonel Porr are very satisfactory, setting forth as they - do the efficiency sud gallnatry of the native troops
and the frisadly relations coer nxisting bobwoën | Shanghai the English officers serving in the army of tha Khadivo and the antive officers and min. Re ferring to the conduct of the nation troops at the actions of Magroket and Dinuim, Colonel Parr confesses that he was taken aback by the desk and taste shown for fighting by the men. Que of the most satisfactory results of the fight- ing was the proof that the care which had been taken in soloting native officers and improv | Masili ...--| 22A9 ing their position and morale had borne taipboar Kangkony Their conduct was moet praise Amey good fruit worthy, and many instances of personal bra-Touche... very were recorded
As regards the men. fair and strict trestment, alething and rationu | *(31) untampared with, and pay uzmaletet seem to have made them contented and happy in the se:- vice, and a very satisfactory feeling has sprong up between the English offosca and their men, which shows itself in many ways. Not only is. there a warm feeling between the English off cscs of the Egyptian army sud the native ofloors and men, but, as the despatch states, there is a certain rapprochement between the English Army and the Egyptian obeer and soldiers. The clinɔgnio the barring of the reornita, too, la no less remarkable. Instead of being driven up in chains by the police and followed by a se reaming crowd, they willingly take their tura, and the men, who go regularly back to their villages ou fears, have money in their pookats, are well fed and well clothed, and their stories of the Eng. lish officers and people are listened to with eager ness-by-the-sacikh, whose anger the returned in the shade in degrees Fahrerheit
