MISCELLANEOUS.

East India House.-The following papers are now in the course of delivery to the proprietors, viz. those ordered by the General Court, on the 23d June 1824, respecting a reform in the Administration of the government of his Exc. the Nabob Vizier, and the employment of British troops in his dominions, from the 1st Jan,

1808 to the 31st Dec. 1815; also relating to the Negociation of the several Loans contracted with the Vizier, between the months of Oct. 1814 and May 1815, together with certain additions thereto, since ordered to be printed by the Court of Directors.

A Quarterly General Court of the Company is advertised to be held on Wednesday the 28th of September.

Steam Ship Enterprize.—This vessel has at last sailed for India. In less than three months, it is calculated, she will reach the mouth of the Ganges. Her burthen is 500 tons. She has two sixty-horse power engines. The boilers, which are made of copper, extend across the ship, with seven furnaces, each seven feet in depth. The whole of the machinery is by Maudslay, who has contrived an ingenious method of changing the water in the boilers, so as to prevent the rapid deposit of salt and sand which would otherwise take place; he has also fixed a pump, which may be called universal, from the various uses to which it is capable of being applied; and has also constructed a moveable railway, which serves to couduct the coals to the point where they are wanted. Although the Enterprize will make use of her sails when the wind permits, she will rely principally on steam, and for this purpose she must necessarily take out not less than three hundred tons of coals. The coals are partly contained in chambers, within the sides of the vessel, covered with sheet iron, and partly in tanks beneath; which as they are emptied of coals, will be filled with water to keep the vessel properly ballasted. The cabins, of which there are twenty, are furnished with every convenience; but of course, there can be little or no room for cargo.

The Enterprize left Falmouth on the evening of the 16th Aug., weather moderate, but the wind contrary. She, how ever, made very good way, and ran across the Bay, about three leagues, in little more than an hour. The passengers (among whom are a number of females) were all in high spirits.

Quebec, July 14th." The arrival of two ships from China direct forms a remarkable epoch in the annals of Canadian commerce. The Moffatt of 800, and the Juliana of 500 tons, have arrived here from China; the former bringing 9941, and the latter 5900 chests of tea; they are the first vessels that ever entered the St. Lawrence from that part of the globe. They sailed from England on the 24th Aug. 1824, arrived at Canton 24th Jan, and sailed for this port on the 24th Feb. 1825. They are on the Hon. East India Company's account."

Transmission of Newspapers to the Colonies. By an Act of Parliament passed this Session, it is enacted, that from and after the 10th of Oct. 1825, printed newspapers, and other printed publications liable to the stamp duties, may be sent to any of his majesty's colonies or possessions beyond seas, by the packet-boats, upon the payment of one penny halfpenny for every such paper (that payment to be made at the time the newspaper is put into the post) provided the same be sent in covers open at the sides, and be put into the postoffice in any town in Great Britain or Ireland on the day on which the same shall be published, such day to be ascertained by the date of the papers.

Also, newspapers printed in the colonies may be sent (in covers open at the sides) by the packets to Great Britain and Ireland, for the postage of threepence on each paper, to be paid by the persons to whom the same may be addressed.

If any other paper or thing whatsoever be enclosed or concealed in such printed papers, or there shall be any writing, other than the superscription, upon such papers or their covers, they are to be charged with treble the postage of a letter.

And if any papers sent from Great Britain and Ireland, which are liable to the stamp duties, are not duly stamped, they are to be stopped and sent to the commissioners of stamps.

Also, if they are not put into the postoffice on the day of their date, they are to be charged with a single rate of postage.

Newspapers published on Sunday, may be sent as above, if put in on the ensuing day.

This act does not oblige persons to send printed papers to or from the colonics through the post-office.
