     (From Chasuber-3': Journal.) 
     
    

    
     The progress of railways in India exceeds all 
     
     anticipation. The line of 1000~llIll0l from Cal- 
     
     outta to Delhi, for which government gives the 
     
     land, is advanoiu at each extremity. One hand- 
     
     red and twenty- ve miles from Calcutta to 
     
     Runegungoo an o n ; and another seventy-five 
     
     miles, to ltujaina al, will soon be ready. The 
     
    

    
     00miles from Delhi to Allahabad are to 
     
     finished in 1857. To travel between those two 
     
     cities at present takes four days and nights, and 
     
     costs L.25 ; but by rail, it will be a journey of 
     
     twenty-four hours, at a charge of L6. 1‘he 
     
     whole line is to be completed in 1859. As in 
     
     England, so iu.l_n ' —-die greatest revenue was 
     
     expected from transport of merchandise; but 
     
     the pasenger-traflic turns out to be by far the 
     
     more profitable. The Iiindncs appreciate cheap 
     
     and re id travelling, as well as ourselves ; an 
     
     the rai ways seems likely, more than any other 
     
     European innovation, to break down distinction 
     
     of caste, that curse of Eastern society. The 
     
     ‘ upper ten-thousaiid,’ as the Americans call 
     
     them, wished to have trains exclusively to them- 
     
     selves ; but the directors persist in despatching 
     
     first, second, and third class carriages all in the 
     
     same trai . 
     
     The veteran Humboldt has written to the As- 
     
     tronomical Soeiety ‘ On Certain Appeuruncel 
     
     connected with the Zodiacal Light ’—drawing 
     
     attention to new facts connected with that in- 
     
     teresting phenomenon; froiu which it appears 
     
     that this remarkable light is noteonfined to the 
     
     west, as was supposed, but has been seen by 
     
     hiniselfand others in the east at the same time. 
     
     The latest observer, Rev. G. Jones, chaplain of 
     
     the United States’ frigate Jllissisrippi. during 
     
     her recent cruise in the China and Japan Seas. 
     
     reports that he saw the ‘ extraordinary spec- 
     
     tacle of the zodiacal light, simultaneously at 
     
     both cost and west horizons, for several nights 
     
     in succession.’ The conclusion drawn from 
     
     the sum of his observation will be a startling 
     
     one to many : it is, that the earth is surround- 
     
     ed by u nebulous ring lying within the orbit of 
     
     the moon. So, if, as is stated, the ring he coni- 
     
     plcto and continuous, we liiive for ages been 
     
     playing the part ofa smaller Saturn among 
     
     our brother and sister planets. 
     
    

    
     A coiiiiiiuiiication made to the Entomological 
     
     Society by Mr. d'Urban of Newport. near Exc- 
     
     ter, will be interesting to all—and the number 
     
     is great—who are concerned in the manufac- 
     
     ture of silk. He thinks that many species of 
     
     Bomliycidx (silk-worms) are undescrvcdly nog- 
     
     lccted, and one, a native of Canada, is likely to 
     
     stand our climate, and produce silk in consider- 
     
     able quantities. The cocoon is large and well 
     
     covered, and double—a precaution, doubtless,‘ 
     
     against, the severity of the Canadian winter. 
     
     ‘ Could it be made useful,’ says .\lr. d‘Urban, 
     
     ‘it would be a great boon, as it must be ii dura- 
     
     ble material, indeed, to resist the wind and rain 
     
     of ten months, or even of two or three years, as 
     
     I have found these cocoons ndheriiig as strong- 
     
     ly as ever to the tree the following spring after 
     
     t c escape of the moth.’ As the insect will eat 
     
     leaves ofthe maple, choke-cherry, and Ameri- 
     
     can plum, there would be ‘ no trouble in find- 
     
     ing food for it in this countr : and.’ 
     
     d‘Urban adds, ‘ I do not think t ere would be 
     
     much dilliculty in introducing it, as the cocoons 
     
     could be gathered in an number in Canada 
     
     and the United States. an sent home by steam- 
     
     ers, backed in air-tight boxes; as sea-air, froiu 
     
     my own experience, soeius to be fatal to them, 
     
     it would be hardly possible to send the eggs 
     
     across the Atlantic; as only two months iiitcr- 
     
     vcnc between the appearance of the moth and 
     
     the larva going into cocoon, itis manifest the 
     
     eggs must be hatched soon after they are laid ; 
     
     these eg 5 are large and oval in shape, and pure 
     
     white, f the moths, were bred in En land, 
     
     could be ot to air, there would then e no 
     
     further 0 stacle n obtainin a suppl of silk 
     
     by the end of the following ugust after their 
     
     arrival.’ 
     
    

    
     The project for a ship-canal across the isth- 
     
     mus to connect the two oceans,which was loudly 
     
     talked of in America a few ears ago, is not for- 
     
     gotten, and we learn,that surveys of the propos- 
     
     ed route have been made, and notes taken of 
     
     “P °llml|l°. geology, botany, c., of the re-

     are ecu‘;/iv/acre enforced an respettrd. Whoever 
     
     says or insinuates ihe contrary is a uilful falsifia- 
     
     The atlVlic:il8.'i of pinhibiiion have confidence in 
     
     built the people sad the counts, and are certain 
     
     Hfllllllllula triair.ph. lfihe courts should knock 
     
     it owner olfour present law, they will restore or 
     
     replace it to the lost of Ilieir ability. always with 
     
     aleleience to judicial authority. Ifthe rumsellers 
     
     should buy a legislature, we shall rally and carry 
     
     its successor, able and eager to undo all the mis- 
     
     vhicfit has wrought. But we do not fear the

     As to the enforcement of the law, there is no 
     
     demur or besilniion among its friends. 
     
     thirds of the state, it is iliis day rfect. 
     
     residue, it has been tmporiirily defeated by a

     transient evil. 'l'he decision of. the our! of 
     
     Appeals on the lsw-points raised under it, and 
     
     the choice of a new legislature to uphold sad 
     
     strengthen it, wili sweep away Ilie last hiding- 
     
     places of the desolsling irfilc. We are already 
     
     freed from the curse of licensed rum-selling ; a 
     
     few months more will place as in it position to 
     
     stop the unlicensed as well. Patient snd perseve-
