Latest Indian Intelligence. Tub Calcutta...
there is one encouraging fact—the trade of India is advancing'with gigantic 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 Iyurraeliee , 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 26 millions sterlintT
THE -VASA SAinB . The following is from the Bengal Hurkaru : — During the fortnight we have had some news of the Nana . The miscreant , who is still in the Nepaul Tarai , has had the impudence to send an offer to the Lieutenant-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 . We 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 Pout of Kurrachee . —The Friend of India says : —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 and to extend with everincreasing splendour , all the more remarkable from the misery around it . Invasion and war , which blackened the fairest districts , little affected the cities . "They sprang tip from their ashes only to be more
splendid and more wealthy than before . When 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 anxi Bombay , of Kurrachee and Madras . Even the permanent centres of the power and dep 6 ts 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 on 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 authorities 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 js 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 the 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 used in London . Three new roads , one of which is called Bavolock-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 been walled in with masonry , the wells improved and increased in number , nnd pipes laid down from them along the main road , where there are to bo soven cisterns with fountains , to supply the wants of the port and shipping . A bill is now passing through the legislative council to enable the committee to raise ten lacs of rupees at nine per cent , to supply the whole town with good water from the Mulfeer river , 14 miles distant , The interest is to bo paid and tho works kept in repair by a water rate of 24 . per cent , on thp value of houses and lands . From tho municipal funds a grant of Rs . 100 a month is given to the Kurraohee schools . Tho municipal revenue of Caloutta is seven la . 09 of rupees , and that of Madras two andanalf . it speaks well for Kurracheo with its comparatively small population of 25 , 000 that It ruises nearly two-thirds of a lac .

The Quarter's Revenue. The Account Is Fa...
THE QUARTER'S REVENUE . The account is favourable , though showing a slight dr crease as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year . In Customs there is an increase of nearlv 160 , 000 * . On the item of sugar there is an apparent de crease , caused by payments made in June last under thp impression of a probable addition to the duty Excise shows an increase of upwards of 450 , 000 * ., derived mm cipally from spirits and malt , and , indeed from every article excepting hops . Stamps are increased to the ex tent of more than 100 , 000 * . from Legacy and Succession Duties . A slight increase lias taken place in Land and Assessed Taxes . In Income Tax there is a decrease of about 580 , 000 ? ., owing to the decline in the rate ofduty . The Post-office income augmentation this quarter is 35 000 ?
The miscellaneous items present a . Tailing off of nearly 191 , 0002 . Thus , on the quarter , there is a gross increase on the principal sources of revenue of nearly 800 000 ? The aceount for the year yields a general increase of about 800 , 000 * ., notwithstanding the diminished receipts of more than 2 , 000 , 000 * . from income-tax . TJie real increase therefore would otherwise have been nearly 3 , 000 , 000 * . The following are the items of increase derived from the same sources as those 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 , £ 940 , 000 ; Stamps , £ 260 , 000 ,- Land and Assessed Taxes , £ 52 , 000 ; Post-Office , £ 230 , 000 ; Crown Lands . £ 4 , 600 r Miscellaneous , £ 157 , 000 .

Central Italy. A Special Correspondent O...
CENTRAL ITALY . A special correspondent of the Times 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 an appeal to universal suffrage , accompanied by the grant of a constitution and by a general amnesty ; that the Duchess of Pai-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 . Ext
tensive reforms are urgent , say some , and musbe 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 liavu been raised , it ia not a small measure of reform tjjat would satisfy the Romagnoli— nor anything , probably , that was short of their complete deliverance from the detested government of priests . I observe that some ot their warmest and most sanguine partisans here seem to have given up hopes of their being emancipated from Papal rule ,
