pDttrp. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL. He hath made every thing beautiful."—Eccles. iii. 11. OH it is beautiful to see A young girl timid stand, To give away that priceless pearl, Her unpolluted hand, At the altar of the God, Her earliest infant prayer, And latest in her maidenhood Taught her was ever there. 'Tis beautiful, when vows are pledged, To see her artless eye Gaze on her husband's as to read Her star of destiny; Propitious be the horoscope That fate is casting now. For it would be a cruel deed To gloom so glad a brow. 'Tis beautiful to see her sit Beside his hearth at eve, To joyful smile if he doth joy, But weep if he doth grieve Speaking to him in that low tone, True sympathy doth shew; Mirth may be loud, but whispers best Beguile the ear of woe. Tis beautiful to see her kneel Down by her infant's bed, To kiss the cheek like Cashmere's rose Ere one bright tint is fled And then with hands cross'd on her breast, And graceful up-turn'd eye, Commend him with a mother's prayer Unto the Deity. Tis beautiful in every stage To watch a woman's life, Whether as daughter, sister, friend, As mother, or as wife; Through all pervades seraphic love, The purest, most sublime, Unchanged by age or circumstance, Oh strengthened but by time. 'Tis beautiful, most beautiful, To mark her youth's decline, When in the eye where passions shone, Is seen a ray divine Enkindled from the holy lamp, No cloud of sonow pales. "When earthly hopes are held as nought, And God alone prevails. Tis beautiful, when she is dead, To see the smile survive Triumphantly on the calm face Where death with fear did strive Engraven by angelic hope Upon that Christian face, As her freed spirit soar'd above, Unto a fitter place. -Metropolitan. MRS. THOMAS.

8arirtítø. Why is Mrs. Caudle like a locomotive engine? Because she is always on the rail. We have been assured on the best authority, that the absence of the sun is to be attributed solely to the fact that, since he nas acquired so much fame by his photogenic pictures, he has been keeping out of the way for fear he should be made Presi- dent of the Royal Academy.—Punch. The following anecdote of the late sapient Charles Dignum is recalled to us by the canvass that is now going on for South- wark. Hearing it said that Mr. Calvert intended to canvass the borough, Canvass the borough," exclaimed Diggy; "capital notion, eh, don't you know • I came through the borough t'other day in a heavy shower of rain, and for want of a canvass, or some covering of that 'ere sort, I got wet through." We have just seen a new invention, called "The Railway Pocket Companion." It is the size of a Court Guide, and con- tains a small bottle of water, a tumbler, a complete set of sur- gical instruments, a packet of lint, and directions for making a will. It is very elegant, being bound to look like poetry, and its utility cannot be doubted for a moment, when the bills of mor- tality are proving every day the great charms of railway travel- ling. We can conscientiously declare that the Railway Travelling Companion" should be in the pocket of every gentleman who is in the habit of going on a railroad. It should be sold at every station.-Pu1ich. The man who is not intelligible is not intelligent. You may depend upon this as a rule which will never deceive you. PROGRESS OF SCIENCE.—Science is generally represented with a lighted torch in her hand. This will account for some of the atrocities that have followed from the so-called scientific expe- dition of the French into the interior of Algiers.—Punch. CONFUSION OF IDEAS.—" I never shot a bird in my life," said one to another. I never shot anything in the shape of a bird," the other replied, except a squirrel, and that I killed with a stone, when it fell from a tree into the river and was drowned!" The plainest man that can convince a woman that he is really in love with her, has done more to make her in love with him than the handsomest man, if he can produce no such conviction. For the love of woman is a shoot, not a seed, and flourishes most vigorously only when ingrafted on that love which is rooted in the breast of another. Those orators who give us much noise and many words, but little argument and less wit, and who are most loud when they are the least lucid, should take a lesson from the great volume of Nature; she often gives us the lightning even without the thun- der, but never the thunder without the lightning. Let us so employ our youth that the very old age, which will deprive us of attention from the eyes of the women, shall enable us to replace what we have lost with something better, from the ears of the men. No improvement that takes place in either of the sexes can possibly be confined to itself; each is an universal minor to each and the respective refinement of the one will always be in reciprocal proportion to the polish of the other. A torrent of declamation, where all is sound and verbiage, has often served the ends of the oppressor, and proved more fatal to the oppressed, than any force of argument or reason that could be brought against him just as an expert swimmer is in more danger from the froth and foam of the surf than from the deep- e3t water of the ocean; for although the former has no pro- fundity, it has also no buoyancy,neither can the voice of distress be heard amidst the roar of the breakers. Philosophy is a bully that talks very loud, when the danger is at a distance, but the moment she is hard pressed by the enemy, she is not to be found at her post, but leaves the brunt of the battle to be borne by her humbler but steadier comrade Reli- gion, whom on all other occasions she affects to despise. When articles rise, the consumer is the first that suffers, and when they fall, he is the last that gains. If you want enemies, excel others; if you want friends, let others excel you. There is a diabolical trio, existing in the natural man, implacable, inextinguishable, co-operative, and consentaneous. Pride, Envy, and Hate (Pride, that makes us fancy we deserve all the goods that others possess Envy, that some should he admired, while we are overlooked; and Hate, because all that is bestowed on others diminishes the sum that we think due to ourselves. HAMILTON ROWAN AND THE WATCH. Hamilton Rowan, on his way to Holyhead, stopped to dine at t he little inn at Capel Currig. There was nothing in the house but a shoulder of mutton, which Rowan ordered to be roasted. Presently the master of a neighbouring hunt, with two brother Nimrods, rushed into an adjoining room, and, swearing they were half starved, clamorously demanded what they could have or dinner 1 The landlord, with many apologies, told them he had nothing but bread and cheese to offer them. Nothing but bread and cheese Nothing but bread and cheese they all exclaimed, stamping about the room. I'm extremely sorry, gentlemen," said the landlord, much embarrassed, but—" "How d'ye mean, Sir," interrupted the master of the hunt, imperiously. "By G—! I don't understand this, Gwilliam! Nothing but bread and cheese to offer us Why, I smell some- thing roasting in your kitchen at this very moment, Sir." They all swore trtey smelt it. Why, that's very true, gentlemen," said the landlord, still more embarrassed. There certainly U a shoulder of mutton at the fire, and I wish with all my heart I could let your honors have it; but, unfortunately, it's bespoke by an Irish gentleman in the next room there, and—" A WHAT ? An Irish gentleman, did you say, Gwilliam ?" roared out the master, with a sneer. Yes, Sir, and-" Here the landlord was interrupted by a perfect mouth quake of laughter, in which the whole trio joined. Pray, what's this Irish gentleman like 1" demanded the Squire, as soon as he could speak. Has he been long caught? Has he lost his tail yet ? Oh! for heaven's sake! do tell us- has he lost his tail vet, Gwilliam Ay, has he lost his tail yet, Gwilliam V echoed the others and again they all laughed most outrageously. Indeed, gentlemen—" began the landlord. No more of this said the Squire, cutting him short, unless you mean to make us sick. Sir. Go send the mutton in to us, and let this Irish gentleman have a Welsh rabbit. And d'ye hear?" continued he, pulling out a fine old family repeater, and putting it into the landlord's band, c, take this into him, with my compliments, and ask him if he can ten what time of day it is by it. Go go, Sir! do as I order you, or it shall be the worse for you. The landlord, who durst not disobey, after many apologies, delivered the watch with this message to Rowan, who had over- heard all that had passed. Perhaps the Squire could not have selected a worse subject for this gratuitous insult than Hamilton Rowan, who seizing one of his travelling pistols which lay in the window, immediately joined the trio, who were laughing heartily at the joke. ■'Gentlemen," said Rowan, with great suavity, "I'm sorry to interrupt your mirth. I delight in a joke myself—especially when it's a good one. But the fact is, our landlord here, who must be either drunk or dreaming, or both, has just brought me this watch, with a most impertinent message, which he affirms he was ordered to deliver to me by some gentleman in this room here. Now, though I cannot for an instant suppose any person present," continued Kowan, fixing his eye on the Squire, guilty of so blackguard an act, I must request as a mere mat- ter of form, to know whether any gentleman here did send me this watch, with any such message. I'll thank you for an im- mediate answer, gentlemen!" added Rowan, examining the priming of his pistol, for there's a delicious little shoulder of Welsh mutton just roasted, that I'm anxious to pay my respects to." Perceiving them an dumbfounded, Rowan demanded of each in succession whether he was the owner of the watch. They all replied in the negative. Most extraordinary said Rowan; then calling in the land- lord he asked him if the watch belonged to him. "To me, Sir ? No, Sir!'• replied the man in great astonish- ment. Do you know any person, then. out of this room, to whom his watch belongs 1" demanded Rowan. Out of this room, Sir 1" Ay!—out of this room, Sir! Have the goodness to look this way, and speak to the point, Sir "No, Sir,—certainly, Sir,—I don't know any person out of this room, Sir, to whom that watch belongs." "Very well, Sir! now go and serve the mutton ttpl—Well, upon my honour now! this is mighty comical 1" continued Rowan, as soon as the landlord had left the room. Here's a watch which belongs to nobody in the room, and nobody out of the room—not even to the person from whose hands I received it. Well, I must keep it, I suppose, until a claimant starts up. I've no other course to pursue. In case you should hear of any such person, gentlemen, there's my card (throwing it upon the table.)—Upon my word, a mighty handsome watch! a repeater, too Let me see—aye, just fourteen minutes forty-five seconds past five, the very time to attack a shoulder of Welsh muttoa- ha, ha, ha! Good morning. Gentlemen, good morning. You aee I know what time of day it is And with this Rowan left them.

MRS. CAUDLE'S CURTAIN LECTURES.
MRS. CAUDLE'S CURTAIN LECTURES. MRS. CAUDLE THINKS THE TIME HAS COME TO HAVE A COTTAQE OUT OF TOWN." 0 Caudle, you ought to have had something nice to-night; for you're not well, love—I know you're not. Ha! that's like you men,—so headstrong! You will have it, that nothing ails you; but I can tell, Caudle. The eye of a wife—and such a wife as I've been to you—can at once see whether a husband's well or not. You've been turning like tallow all the week; and what's more, you eat nothing now. It makes me melancholy to see you at a joint. I don't say anything at dinner before the children; but I don't feel the less. No, no; you're not very well; and you're not as strong as a horse. Don't deceive your- self-nothing of the sort. No, and you don't eat as much as ever; and if you do, you don't eat with a relish, I'm sure of that. You can't deceive me there. But I know what's killing you. It's the confinement; it's the bad air you breathe it's the smoke of London. Oh yes, I know your old excuse; you never found the air bad before. Perhaps not. But as people grow older, and get on in trade— and after all, we've nothing to complain of, Caudle—London air always disagrees with 'em. Delicate health comes with money; I'm sure of it. What a colour you had once, when you'd hardly a sixpence and now look at you'. "Twould add thirty years to your life—and think what a blessing that would be to me; not that I shall live a tenth part of the time—thirty years, if you'd take a nice little house somewhere at Brixton. You hate Brixton? I must say it, Caudle, that's so like you: any place that's really genteel, you can t abide. Now Brixton and Balham Hill I think delightful. So select! There, nobody visits nobody, unless they're some- body. To say nothing of the delightful pews that make the Churches so respectable! However, do as you like. If you won't go to Brixton, what do you say to Clapham Common ? Oh, that's a very fine story! Never tell me No you wouldn't be left alone, a Robinsoe Cru- soe with wife and children, because you're in the retail way. What! The retired wholesales never visit the retired retails at Clapham! Ha! that's only your old sneering at the world, Mr. Ctudle but I don't believe it. And after all, people should keep to their station, or what was this life made for 1 Suppose a tallow-merchant does keep himself above a tallow-chandler,— I call it only proper pride. What 1 You call it the aristocracy of fat ? I don't know what you mean by aristocracy; but I suppose it's only another of your dictionary words, that's hardly worth the finding out. What do you say to Homsey or Muswell Hill ? Eh ? Too high? What a man you are! Well then Battersea ? Too low 1 You are an aggravating creature, Caudle, you must own that! Hampstead. then ? Too cold 1 Nonsense; it would brace you up like a drum, Caudle; and that's what you want. But you don't deserve any body to think of your health or your comfort either. There's some pretty spots, I'm told, about Fulham. Now Caudle, I won't have you say a word against Fulham. That must be a sweet place dry, and healthy, and every com- fort of life about it—else is it likely that a bishop would live there 1 Now Caudle, none of your heathen principles-I won't hear 'em. 1 think what satisfies a bishop ought to content you but the politics you learn at the club are dreadful. To hear your talk of bishops—well, I only hope nothing will happen to you, for the sake of the dear children'. A nice little house and a garden! I know it! I was born for a garden! There's something about it makes one feel so innocent. My heart somehow always opens and shuts at roses. And then what nice currant wine we could make And again, get 'em as fresh as you will, there's no radishes like your own radishes! They're ten times as sweet? What 1 And twenty times as dear? Yes; there you go Anything that I fancy, you always bring up the expense. No, Mr. Caudle, I should not be tired of it in a month. I tell you I was made for the country. But here you've kept me in this filthy London, that I hardly know what grass is made of. Much you care for your wife and family to keep 'em here to be all smoked like bacon. I can see it—it's stopping the children's growth; they'll be dwarfs and have their father to thank for it. If you'd the heart of a parent, you could'nt bear to look at their white faces. Dear little Dick! he makes no breakfast. What? He ate six slices this morning ? A pretty father you must be to count 'em. But that's nothing to what the dear child could eat, if, like other children, he'd a fair chance. Ha and then we could be so comfortable But it s always the case, you never will be comfortable with me. How nice and fresh you'd come to business every morning; and what pleasure it would be for me to put a pink or a tulip into your button-hole, just as I may say, to ticket you from the country. But then Caudle, you never were like any other man! But I know why you wo'nt leave London. Yes, I know. Then, yo think you could'nt go to your filthy club that s it. Then, you'd be obliged to be at home, like any other decent man. Whereas you might, if you liked, enjoy yourself under your own apple-tree, and I'm sure I should never say anything about your tobacco out of doors. My only wish is to make you happy, Caudle, and you won't let me do it. You don't speak, love ? Shall I look about a house to- morrow ? It will be a broken day with me, for I am going out to have little pet's ears bored—What! You won t have her ears bored? And why not, I should like to know 1 It sa barbarous, savage custom ? Oh, Mr. Caudle, the sooner you go away from the world, and live in a cave, the better. You re getting not fit for Christian society. What next? My ears were bored and— what ? So are yours ? I know what you mean-but that's nothing to do with it. My ears, I say, were bored, and so were dear mother's, and grandmother's before her; and 1 suppose there were no more savages in our family than in yours, Mr. Caudle? Besides,—why should little Pet's ears go naked, any more than any of her sisters ? They wear ear-rings,—you never objected before. What? You've learned better now ? Yes, that's all with your filthy politics again. You'd shake all the world up in a dice-box, if you'd your way: not that you care a pin about the world, only you'd like to get a better throw for yourself,—that's all. But little pet shall be bored, and don't think to prevent it. I suppose she's to be married some day, as well as her sisters ? And who'll look at a girl without ear- rings, I should like to know ? If you knew anything of the world, you'd know what a nice diamond ear-ring will sometimes do—when one can get it—before this. But I know why you can't abide ear-rings now Miss Prettyman doesn't wear 'em she would—I've no doubt—if she could only get 'em. Yes,—it's Miss Prettyman, who- "There. Caudle, now be quiet, and I'll say no more about pet's ears at present. We'll talk when you're reasonable. I don't want to put you out of temper, goodness knows! And so, love, about the cottage? What? 'Twill be so far from business ? But it needn't be far, dearest. Quite a nice distance; so that on your late nights, you may always be at home, have your supper, get to bed, and all by eleven. Eh,—sweet one?" I don't know what I answered," says Caudle, but 1 know this in less than a fortnight I found myself in a sort of a green bird-cage of a house, which my wife-gentle satirist !-insisted upon calling The Turtle-Dovery.'

A grand banquet was given in honour of the event at the Ducal Palace of Saxe Coburg Gotha. j e a- • • The most effectual remedy tor flies is a strong infusion of Souchong tea, sweetened with sugar—as fatal a solution as arsenic. The skin 01 potatoes boiled in water for some time, and the water afterwards boiled down to a small por- tion, also yields a deadly poison. Owing to the unusual backwardness of the harvest this year, itwiM be hardly possible, we should think, for the sportsman to take the field so early as the 1st September. The partridges are said to be pretty numerous. The Duke of Beaufort is expected at Beaufort House, at the end of the week, from Trafalgar House, West Cowes, where his grace is entertaining a select circle of friends. There has been much rejoicing amongst the principal tenantry of the Duke of Argyll at Inverary, and on the other ducal estates in Scotland, in celebration of the birth of the Earl Campbell, son of the Marquis and Marchioness of Lorn. The King of Denmark has just ordered the teaching of the French language and singing in all the colleges of the kingdom. All scholars will be obliged to learn these and there will be an annual examination. The King of the French is represented as leading a very active life, and daily taking much exercise at Eu, whither the Prince ftpd Princess de Joinville and the Prince de Salerno are ilÍiaected to arrive this day. There is imEoour abroad that the Queen shortly intends to pay a visit to Essex. It is said that, in pursuance of her purpose of visiting all the lord lieutenants of counties, Her Majesty will honour Viscount Maynard with her presence at Easton Lodge; and that the noble lord is already making preparations for the reception of the Royal party.—Chelmsford Chronicle. We have it on good authority that the railway company have actually been forwarding coals and iron from their own wharf to Norwich by water, as being cheaper to them than taking them on their own rail. This speaks volumes as to their power to compete with such a naviga- tion as we have.—Norwich Mercury. There is a place called Killorgli. in Kerry, at which a fair is held once a year, for the benefit chiefly of itinerant tinkers, the only vestige of the gipsey tribe in Ireland. At this fair the chief alticles looked for are donkeys, po- nies, and goats. On Tuesday week a return was issued, procured by Mr. Trotter, showing the importation of wheat, &c., from Ja- nuary to July last, from Ireland. In the half-year the wheat was 149,603 quarters; barley, 26,232; oats, 976,644. Wheat, meal, and flour, 816,462 cwt.; and oatmeal, 607,041 cwt.

The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. PEMBROKE.—The wages of agricultural labourers in this part of Wales have risen to 16s. and 18s. per week, in consequence of the paucity of good hands in the coun- try. A great proportion of the able-bodied men have left for the continent, where high wages and continued employ- ment may be had on the various lines of railways in progress of construction.

About 800 of her friends and others attended her funeral on Sunday week.—Lincoln Chronicle. BREACH OF PROMISE.—Harbottle v. Ryiands.— This case was to be tried at Liverpool, on Wednesday week, in which the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals were engaged,the former for the plaintiff, the latter for the defendant, and which was appointed to be taken at the sitting of the Court this morning, but was withdrawn, to the disappointment of a great number of persons, including a large proportion of ladies, who had assembled to hear the trial. It is said that the amount of damages agreed upon are £4)000. A HUNGRY RAT.—Last week, a poor woman of the name of Walters, residing in a kitchen or cellar in Dudley- street (late Monmouth-street), London, went out at an early hour to purchase water cresses for the purpose of vending, leaving her husband and infant asleep in bed on the floor. The father of the child was awoke by the screams of the infant; on looking to see what was the cause, in turning down the sheet, a large rat ran from under it, and escaped into a hole, the child having been dreadfully bitten in the left breast and side of the neck. The parts bitten have since been cauterised. ILLEGALITY OF INN TAPS.—The Excise have commenced laying informations against the occupiers of taps at- tached to inns, hotels, taverns, or other public-houses, for selling excisable liquors without license. A se ries of informations of this description were heard in Hull before the Mayor and Mr. Palmer, on Thursday last, when the' facts being proved of the sale of the liquors, and of the occupiers of the taps not being the identical parties to whom the respective licenses for the inns were issued, the magistrates had no alternative than to convict, which they did in the lowest mitigated penalties of JE12 10s. each.— Yorkshire Gazette. THB MODERN CHEVALIER D'EON.—A diminutive En- glish person has, under various assumed names, resided in or near Paris for many years, and had been a natural child of the late Lord M— and whom it is said held high office in the household of George the Third. This little personage was for a length of time married, it is said, to a very fine woman and as Mr. and Mrs. D —, alias Mr. and Mrs. H-, were domiciled at Versailles and Paris, the fond wife was happy in the "god of her idol- atry, as she called him, until she eloped with a bold cap- tain, whose wife she now is. Having soon afterwards, for a twofold purpose, appeared to be enamoured of, and to fall desperately in love with a married woman whilst her lodger, and proposed for her as soon as practicable after the death of her husband, the widow became much attached to her Lilliputian admirer. Mais le manage est tombe en I'eau! The individual in question, who appears to have been in straightened circumstances, died on Wednesday week, at his lodgings, 19, Rue Pontheu and, lo! turned out to be a woman. The funeral of this person took place on Thursday week. Another report states that the de- ceased had an allowance of 3,0001. a-year (£120), made ►by some member of her family; but it appears that she was considerably in debt to her landlord and various tradesmen. SINGULAR RETURN OF STOLEN PROPERTY.—The shop of Mr. G. Davies, of DotgeHy, in the county of Merioneth, was burglariously robbed, and a very large quantity of watches and jewellery stolen, on the morning of the 4th of January. In June last, a man named Jonathan Jones was apprehended as being one concerned in the robbery, and four of the watches were found by Mr. Hill, the active superintendent of police at Chester, in a box belonging to the piisoner. Jones was tried at the last assizes and transported for 15 years. It was stroDgly suspected that a man residing at Chester, named Philip Dixon, was an accomplice (it was on his information Jones was appre- hended), but no evidence could be adduced against him. On the morning of Saturday, the 16th inst., a box arrived for Mr. Davies by the Chester carrier, which, on opening, he was most agreeably surprised to find filled with the proceeds of the robbery, there being 96 watches, and a large quantity of rings,8tc.—in fact, all that he recollected to have lost, except the four watches above-mentioned. The box was accompanied by a small brown paper parcel, in which was a letter directed to Mr. Davies (not signed, of course), which was written badly, and saying, that her beg to return him his property." All that the car- rier knows is, that the box and parcel were brought to the waggon by a man, small in size and unknown to him. The affair, as may be imagined, has caused a great stir in this quiet town, and all are glad of the happy return, as Mr. Davies is a man much respected. NEW MODE OF SMUGGLING.—Assomemarket-gardeners of St. Maude were lately entering Paris at day-break, they perceived something amongst the trees of the outward boulevard which looked like a sort ot phantom, being long and white, with the arms sticking out. After some hesi- tation, they advanced to examine this dreadful object, and found that it was a huge kite, with large bladders of spirits for wings, and a still larger one tied to the tail. There could not be any douht that the intention had been to defraud the revenue, by avoiding to pay the octroi duty, but that tbe kite had fallen short and stuck in the trees. The octroi officers made a capture of this new kind of smuggler. ATTEMPT TO POISON.—A strange suicide hasjust taken place at Riom. A stranger entered an apothecary's shop, and asked for some liquid ammonia to take out some stains from his clothes. The apothecary gave him a spoonful and a half in a glass. The stranger turning round swallowed the liquid, and at once fell to the ground as it struck with a thunderbolt. The commissary of police was immediately called, and had him transported to the hospital, where the unfortunate man died in great agony, exclaimiug, I thought I should have died on the instant!" REDUCTION OF MILITARY BANDS.—The band of the 55th Regiment, at Winchester, has been reduced to 16. n during the last week, pursuant to an order from the Horse Guards. At a recent review, at Portsmouth, the 8th regi- ment, with their band, consisting of 45 men, besides boys, in passing before General Sir Hercules Pakenbam, attracted his attention, with some remarks on the strength of the latter. He immediately communicated with the Horse Guards on the subject, when an order was issued to reduce the band to its proper strength, of 14 private musicians, 1 sergeant, and 1 drummer, besides a boy to every hundred men. The reduction of the band of the 55th, aud other regiments of the line, immediately followed. CLEANLINESS AMONG THE POOH.—The association for promoting cleanliness among the poor has commenced its proceedings by enabling the poor in the vicinity of the Eastern Asylum for the Houseless, in Glasshouse-street, East Smith field, to use gratuitously an apparatus for bathing, and for the washing and drying of clothes, during the months in which the Asylum has hitherto been closed. The apparatus, which is simple and unexpensive, was fitted up and first tried for a few nights before the end of the last season, and the eagerness with which the unfortunate beings sheltered in that asylum availed them- selves of its advantages far surpassed anticipation, 987 having used it in the short space of 19 evenings. HIGH PRICE OF BREAD.—It is true, as we stated a few weeks aince, tbat it is the invariable practice of bakers to raise the price of bread at this season of the year. During some seasons this could not be avoided, for instance, when there happened to be a scarcity of grain. Another cause is that farmers do not send large supplies at this particular season, their attention being occupied with the harvest. It is true that the stock ot wheat at present in bond is small, but it is also true that our farmers never had a much larger supply of wheat on hand than at the present time. Many farmers in the north have not yet touched a grain of their last year's produce, and there are some who have not yet exhausted the grain of 1843. Supposing the rise in flour to be about 6s. per sack, this does not warrant the great advance in the price of bread, by which the London bakers are at present realising an additional profit of from twenty to twenty-four shillings upon every sack of flour converted into loaves. There can be no doubt of the fact that the present advance is not caused by any want of grain; it is merely a trick of the trade, in which the farmer, miller, and baker not unfrequently unite to pick the pockets of John Bull, and in which the two latter come in for the largest share of the plunder. ENGLISH LOCOMOTIVES IN FRANCE.—Notwithstand- ing that the French are striving to make their own locomotives for the different railways in construction, they are obliged to come to this country if they want well made machines. The directors of the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway are having twenty-two locomotives made for them at Newcastle, Leeds, and Newton, which have been contracted for by Mr. Mackenzie, one of the directors of this line. Another contract has been entered into by the Avignon and Marseilles line with the house of Stephenson, of Newcastle, for twenty-five locomotives, making forty-seven, the cost of which is to be £80,000, or 2,000,000f. As the different lines, the adjudication of which passed last session in the Chambers, progress, there is very little doubt that some very extensive con- tracts will be entered into for steam-engines in this country, as, although the French are certainly improving greatly in the making of machinery, they are yet far behind our experienced machinists of the nortn of England, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham. POWERFUL ENGINE.—An engine of truly gigantic dimensions has just been constructed at the Bromsgrove station, on the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, under the direction of Mr. M'Connell, the locomotive superin- tendent of that line, and, like her great contemporary on the ocean, has been appropriately named the Great Britain." This iron giant has proved equal to the con- veyance of upwards of 1000 tons on the level rails, and has ascended the Lickey incline, on the above railway, with a load of 150 tons, thus surmounting a gradient of 1 in 37—a feat of locomotive power hitherto without a parallel. The dimensions of this mammoth engine are as follow—viz., diameter of cylinder, 18 in.; length of stroke, 26 in.; six wheels coupled, 46 in. having a tank over the boiler for a supply of water, and a foot-plate sufficiently large to hold boxes containing the coke ne- cessary for a trip up and down the incline. This is by far the largest locomotive engine that has yet 1 een made. It is now 111 daily use, and la worked with the greatest facility, We understand that his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen's, the Prussian minister to this Court, return to London from the Rhine, where he has been in attendance on the King of Prussia during the whole time of her majesty's visit, has been postponed to an uncertain period, in conse- quence of his having received his Majesty's commands to go to Berlin, for the purpose of being present at con. ferences to be held there, upon the subject, as we have good reason to believe, of the present religious disturb- ances and movements in Germany. Herald. THE MURDER OF ELIZA GRIMWOOD.—A private soldier of the 67th regiment now lying at Portobello Barracks, was charged at College-street police-office, Dublin, on Wednesday evening week, with being absent from quarters without leave. On being given into custody, he asked for pen and paper, remarking to the inspector that he would surprise him. His request being complied with, he stated that his name was George Hill, was a native of London, and son of a silversmith residing at Temple-bar, in the city; that he was the murderer of Eliza Grimwood, whose death caused such a sensation in London some years ago. The prisoner at the time was under the influence of liquor. The prisoner was brought before the magistrates on Thursday. After proper caution being given, he was asked by Alderman Tyndall if he had any communication relative to his disclosures of last evening to make. He replied, after some minutes' hesi- tation, that he had nothing further to state at present; but he begged to be understood that he retracted nothing that he had stated. He was then remanded. CAPABILITIES OF IRON WAR-SHIPS TO WITHSTAND SHOTS.—The question as to the general effect which large gun-shot will have on the sides of the hulls of iron vessels of war is still an open one, upr have any experiments of a decided character yet been made. The general impression is, in the absence of more exten- sive trials, that the shot will pass through the iron, mak- ing a round hole, except in cases where it strikes a rib, when the chances are it would be fractured; and the opinion gains ground that where the shot strikes between wind and water, it would be impossible to stop the leak by any ordinary appliances. A variety of experiments have been made at the dockyards at Woolwich (the re- sults of which have not yet transpired), with Indian- rubber, cork, and other elastic substances; and Mr. John Barber, the new registrar under the Act for the regula- tion of coalwhippers, has matured an invention, by which he feels confident he can most safely provide for all em- ergencies, in the event of an iron vessel being exposed to cannon-shot; he is now in communication with the Ad- miralty, and awaiting the result of their experiments. Of course, in the present state of the inquiry, we are not in a situation to give a description of the plan, as Mr. Barber has not secured a patent, but, should the experi- ments be brought to a satisfactory conclusion, we shall be favoured by the inventor with a full explanation of his system of building iron vessels, which he states is ex- ceedingly simple- in the case of shots striking the hull will be entirely self-acting—and he is confident would, in every case, be fully effective. WEATHER PANICS.—The moist and foggy climate of England is proverbial with foreigners, and matter of half- melancholy joke with Englishmen themselves. The per- petual verdure of our fields bespeaks us denizens of a rainy zone—inhabitants of an intermitting shower-bath. Our speech bewrayeth us the weather is ever uppermost in our thoughts, and the first thing spoken of when friends meet. Aquarius is our constellation. The natives of such a clime might naturally be imagined as exempt from fear of rain, as Mephistopheles alleges Faust, the sworn brother of the devil, ought to be from fear of fire. It is their element, which they ought to know cannot harm them or theirs. Yet they are as shy of rain as a kitten of dew when it first ventures abroad of a morning. England is a land where short crops occasionally occur, but where the years of utter blight which often lay other lands desolate are scarcely known des- pite our frequent wet, raw, ani ungenial summers, within the memory of our fathers and fathers' fathers seed-tirue and harvest have not failed. Yet to an Eng- lishman a wet month of July immediately conjures up visions of famine with pestilence and bankruptcies in its train. Burns was wrong when he said that they who are "constantly on poortith's brink" are little terrified by the sight it is only those who are steeped in it over head and ears who become resigned to their fate. It is in those to whom a chance of emerging seems still open that the fear is strongest, to which the thoughtless Dives and the desperate Lazarus are alike inaccessible. And so with Englishmen and the weather. Were their climate one in which no corn could grow, they would never think of crops and were it so genial that the crops were always redundant, they would wax insensible to the blessing from sheer excess. But, living in a region to which hope ever comes and from which fear never entirely departs, they abandon themselves too readily to unmanly fears. They are weather valetudinarians, a nation of Gratianos the wind cooling their broth blows them to an ague." The public is slowly recovering from a sharp paroxysm of this kind. During the last two or three days it has been laid out to dry in the sun and as it warms in the rays it begins to admit that Englishmen and English crops, like English frogs, take a great deal of drowning."— Spectator. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—ILFRACOMBE, Avo. 20. -This morning, between seven and eight o'clock, an alarm was raised on the quay that a lady was in the sea, and drowning, at the back of the houses on the quay, and a general call for ropes and parties who could swim, in order to endeavour to save her. The wind was then blowing strongly from the N.W., and about high tide, the water being nearly 20 ft. deep at the backs of the houses, with the sea beating violently against the walls. Mr. Edward Stephens, a respectable shoemaker of the town, happening to pass by, went through the house, stripped off his clothes, and dashed into the foaming waves, and succeeded in coming up with the lady. A rope was then thrown to her, which she missed, but on being thrown out a second time she succeeded in securing it, and was safely brought to the steps. Mr. Stephens, when he found that the lady had secured the rope, let go his hold of her, when a wave took him out to sea, and a subse- quent wave was seen to strike him, which is supposed to have stunned him. He iromediately went under water, and was drowned. He has left a widow and two children. It appears that three ladies of the name of Bailey, from Peterborough, have been staying at Martin's Boarding House, on the quay, for some time, and that they have been in the habit of bathing in the sea from the back of the house. The mode of approach to the beach is by a flight of steps, but when the tide is up there is no beach to land on, 30 that any person bathing at such time must plunge into deep water. These ladies being most expert, extraordinary, and beautiful swimmers, have been in the habit of plunging into deep water but this morning the wind and sea being both high, Miss Fanny Bailey ven- tured to bathe, but from the sea beating against the wall, she was notable to beat against the receding waters, in order to recover the steps from which she had plunged, and was at the mercy of the waves she did not lose her self-possession, and kept herself nobly on the surface of the waters; she was much exhausted on being brought to shore, and was put hed instantly, and is now going on favourably. The Misses Bailey are ladies of good property. Miss Fanny Bailey's sisters have been with the disconsolate widow, and have assured her that neither she nor the fatherless children shall be allowed to want any necessary comfort. The body of poor Stephens is not yet found. THE DEMAND FOR IRON NOT GREATER THAN THE QUANTITY CAPABLE OF BEING SUPPLIED BY GREAT BRITAIN.—The large and still increasing demand for iron-the stimulus to trade in general, which such demand excites, and the general prosperity consequent upon the full developement of this -the staple produce of our isle renders every information from practical facts-every sta- tistical data which can be obtained, and even opinions of parties at all conversant with the subject-of the utmost importance. Daily do we see statements put forward, that England, as an iron-producing country, cannot keep pace with the demand but such statements we most unhesitat- ingly repudiate; it is quite necessary thatparties interested in the trade (aud as many of them are readers of publica- tions which give circulation to statements connected with the iron trade, which are not founded in fact) should be put in possession of every statistical detail connected with that branch of commerce, we now attempt to give a clear view of the present existing circumstances of the iron trade, and venture on an opinion as to future prospects. The quantity of iron required for the projected railways (bills for which passed in the last session of Parliament) is generally mis-stated, and has not yet been correctly calcu. lated. We have noticed a statement in one of the daily, papers, where 400 tons per mile is taken as the average quantity that will be required for the new lines, while it is a well-known fact, that a double line of railway, laid down with rails of 70 lbs. to the linear yard, and taking into account the chairs, bolts, pins, screws, and the iron neces- sary for the sleepers, and that used at the stations, cannot employ less than 700 tons per mile, and taking the num- her of miles of railroad sanctioned by the Legislate in Great Britain and Ireland, which are now on the Point of commencement, at 2800 luile,- the total quantity of rail- way iron required for this country be 1,960,000 tons Taking for granted (wlii«"h we salt .,u.J.Y) that the supply of this quantity is spread over a period of at least three years, we have little more than 600,000 tons ot iron to pro- duce annually, in adtlition to the common channels of con- sumption; and, as the present average make in Encr|and alone is 6700 tons per week, nearly 350,000 tonh- per annum, and which can be doubled by the furnaces now in operation, we cannot join the general assertion that the iron manufacturers will not be able to keep pace with the de- mand. That the projected lines of railway on the continent witt Increase the demand for iron in this country, there cannot be a doubt. The iron manufacture in France is yet in its infancy, and that of Belgium at present can render but little assistance, in comparison with the number of gigantic speculations requiring a supply to carry them out; all this, as a mere matter of course, adds to the demand in this country; but taking all into consideration, there will not be the slightest difficulty on the part of the iron-manufac- turers of England to keep up a sufficient stock to meet the growing demand.

On proceed- ing to the spot, we learned that about half-past four o'clock this afternooll an explosion of fire-damp oceurred in the lowel" seam of the pit. The effect was terrific. Nearly 100 men were in the pit at the time, and one-half of them being near the pit's mouth, readily escaped. Thirty-five were in the lower seam, and these, it is certain, met with instantaneous death, nod no attempt can be made to recover their bodies for several days. Other 14, it is ascertained, were in a part of the pit where the ex- plosion must have bcen equally fatal, and of these three have been brought to the mouth of the pit. Several attempts hayc been made to descend the pit, one of which has resulted in the death of au under-viewer be- longing to the colliery. An inquest has since been held on view of the bodi6s recovered, and a verdict of" Acci. dental Death" returned. HORRIBLE C\TASTROPIŒ NEAR ROUEN.—The Paris papers of Thursday week, received on Saturday, are l'xclusively occupied with the dreadfu! catastrophe which occurred at Rouen, and frum which we make the following extract :—" A dreadful event occurred yesterday, which has filled this district" ith conster- nation. A violent storm broke over Rouen about 12 o'clock, at noon, the rain had fallen in abundance, amI several heavy peals of thunder were heard, but there was nothing to IJresage the horrible disaster which has spread desolation around us. The whirlwind arose in the vallpy of Deville, commencing at Houlme. Jt first carried away a part of thc roof of the factory of M. ltoufl", then gaining force as it proceeded, it overthrew several small buildings, broke down trees and hedges, and destroyed crops. Further off, buildings were unroofed, and others were literally crushed in. The scourge, moving with the speed of lightning, carried tu a distance some parts of the ruins, then up- rooted the highest and largest trees, and at last struck three of the principal factories of the valley. Lightning is in fact less rapid than was the. destruction of these establishments. The destruction is so complete that the imagination cannot conceive it, and no description could give an idea of it. They have been literally reduced to crumbs. To crown the fatality, the event took place at an hour when the greatest activity is going on, and the hands are most numerous. Of the three establishments which have been destroyed, one is in the commune of Malaunay—viz., that of M. Bailieul, and which was earricd on by M. Neveu; the two others were situated near Monville,-viz" those of M Picquot and M. Mare. At M. Neveu's 120 persons were at work, the roof fell in, and the walls gave way before any person could escape. At 1\1. Mare's the number of hands at work were 70, the calamity was not less sudden aud complete. At M. Picquot's the number of pprsons at work was not less than 180. The roof being first carried away, all those within rushed to the doors, and they became so crowded that only a few comparatively could get out. The chimney, which was 150 feet high, fell down tu within a few yards of the ground, and was thrown across the river. The third floor, cut off with wonderful precision, was also carried into the water. The two other stories next gave way, and at last the ground-fioor was completely demolished. Tom fragments of clothing were seen among flocks of cotton wool, with arms and leg, prutruding from the heap; pieces of flesh were adhering to the irons, and many parts were dyed with bluod. Now and then deep groans were heard; some men and children, preserved as it were miraculously, by an overhanging beam, were taken out uninjured, but more frequently some se. vered limb or dead corpse, or a body so mutilated that death would have been preferable to the torture it endured. At the guard-house at Munville were placed all the bodies taken out of the factory of 1\1. Picquot. We have seen 17. Two were those of youn^ girls, olle that of a woman, and the rest of men and buys. Among these last several had been taken out of the river, into which they had been precipitated from the third flour. Some were entirely crushed, others had their heads and chests driven flat, and sdme had their heads severed from the trunks. When we withdrew from the seat of the catastrophe, at ten at night, we found, at M. Picquot's house, 25 dead, and more than 50 wounded, part of whom could not be expected to live through the night. It was believed that there were 10 more victims still under the ruins. Out of three foremen, one was killed, the two others saved alive, but severely injured. The loss in money is estimated at 120,000f. At 1\1. Neveu's there were nine killed and 15 wounded, but how many remained unùer the ruins was not known. His loss is estimated at 250,OOOf. At M. Mare's there were six dead and a great number wounded. His loss is put down at 12U,UOOf. In all 40 dead and 100 wounded-many of these last mortally. The aggregate loss is computed to amount to 620,000f. for these three esta- blishments only. The effects of the hurricane extended upwards of a league and a half in length. The communes which have chiefly suffered by it are Le Houlme, Malaunay, Monville, Eslette, Cleres, and Anceaumeville. Over the whole of the crest uf the hills which enclose the valley of Monville, the trees have been destroyed. At Anceaumeville, the builclings of a property belonging M. Barnel have been blown down, and the trees uprooted, and also a number of sheep and cows belonging to 1\1. Caron were killed. Whilst the work was going on in the ruin, at 1\1. Neveu's, cries were heard from him, and the men were directed to turn their attention towards the spot from whence they proceeded. He was found supporting himself on his wrists, with his back snpporting a mass of rubbish, and protecting his mother, who had fallen close to him, and who would have been smothered had it not been for his-admirable courage. Both were taken out without any serious injury. The mutilared remains of two young girls had been just taken from the ruins at 1'1. Mare's, when a woman, who was watching what was going on, recognised them as her daughters. She immediately gave way to the wildest grief, and rushing to the river, threw lwrself in, and was drowned." We learn by a later pust that the clearing away of the ruins of the three manufac- tories has been completed. The final number of the dead bodies dug out from the ruins is 7 The number uf the wounded, as we hdore stated, is from 150 to 170. Besides the 7.) dead budies dUJ out from among the ruins, we have to adc1 a certain numuer of wounded who have died, and many others so dangerously hurt that there is little hope of saving them. The examinations having been most scrupulously made, it was found that at the moment uf the misfortune there were 16J persons at the time of the disaster in M. Picquot's establishment. Among the details of this melancholy calculation are the following :3 dead, three of whom were found on the night of the 19th, four on the 20th, and one on the 22ml; 58 very severely wounded, and the rest saved; or at least very seriously hurt. The wounded in this establishment were the most numerous, and, in general, the most severely injured. In the midst of this ca- lamity it was, as we have already said, most consolatory to see the zeal and devotedness which every one who came tu the sput displayed."

STUATFORO Clun.-At the meeting of the Stratfiird-on-Avon Farmers' Cluh, held at the Town-hal1, on Friday week, Darwia Galton, Bsq., of lidstonc-flall, in the chair; the essay wds on" Farm Horses." On this subject it was stated that ovei-feedinsj horses was extremely injùrious to them many farmers were careful in giving out the corn, and yet allowed (he carter to give an unlimited q'laluity of hay, &c., which, independently of the waste, had a bdd effect npon the condition of horses. More work might be got out of '1 team if the farmer wuuld take the trouhle to regulate the qllalltÏty of hay or green meat as he does of oats or beans. 1 he plan of mixing cut chalf with corn was equally produc- tive of miscliiefi as horses, to get at Ihe corn will rat to re- pletion. Citanliness in Ihe stable was a point npon which much stress was laid; the process of decomposition going on III It exercised its bandlll influence on the blood of horses, who breathe an atmosphere 10a,letl with noxious effluvii, in- dependent of the injury secondarily cans d to every part of the frame by foul air upon the blood &c. the gases arising from dung, urine, &c.. also act prejudicially upon the eyes; and perfect ventilation at all seasons is inrlispensabIy neces- sary. After some short rcmarks on the breeding of horses, the essay closed, aad in the discussion that followed the principal topic was the advantages of letting horses" lie out" at all seasons; many, if not all the members present, had tried the cxpcriment> and were perfectly satisfictl of the results, in the P0<™ bealth and coudition of horses treated in that way; and If thel Were fed on coarse cut chalf, it was preferable to hay, &c., Slven in the plain way-that is, uncut. A member stated Ihat be used chaff cut in the proportiun of a half cwt. of hay to one cwt. of straw, and fed his horses at the rate of two bush:]s of corn per week. Another member also remarked that In a straw-yard he was constructing he intended to plant trces) protected by fcnces, to enable a horse 10 get away from one viciously inclined, or to atford shelter. FLOWER-GARDEN AND SHRUBBERIES.—1.00k over rock plants, pruning back any that are over-growing choice kinds, 111 order to givc thcm sufficient time to break again before aUtutnn; cuttings of choice kinds, such as Saponaria Ocymoides. Onosma taurica, Linaria alpina, Phlox nivalis, setacea, suburata, aristata, amœnn, Linum flavum, 3cc., shonld now be put in for planting out in spring; any that were struck early had better be planted out Sit once. Collect seeds of Sweet Williams, and sow some for spring planting. Plant into borders Dianthus superbus, single \V alllJowers, 1H Itle Pinks, &c. keep stich plants cut back as have a tendency 10 overgrow Box or other edgings. Tie up Dahlias, Sweet Peas, and other border plants, peg down a few shoots of Chrysan- thelllums for laying in small pots, this is better done afer the shoot has turned up at the point; cut out some of the leaves from Hollyhocks to show their bloom. Pits and Frames Some of the first struck cuttings will now be fit for potting off, place them in a pit or frame, shade and keep them close mail they are rooted, when they should be set out to harden, previ- ous 10 being stored up for winter. Continue to put in cuttings, more particularly the best kinds of beddmg Pelargouiul11s, which ought 10 be struck as soon as possible. FI.ORISTS' FLOWERS.-Polyantlm8e8 may be parted; use the knife as little as possible in the operation, as it appears to bave a prejudicial effect on the roots. Auriculas.—Prick out seed lings into store-pots or pans. These also, if not previOllsly done, should now be parted, so that they may get well estab- lished before winter. l'ulip8.-Seeding bulbs which have been out of the ground since the tops decayed, should be reset; if kept out long, the smallest are. apt to perish.. Carna- tions and Picotees.-Many of those whIch were layered early will now be fit to take off; it is better to detach them from the parent plant as soon as rooted. Continue 10 look to your seed-pods, sheltering Ihem from excessive wet, and extracting decayed petals, &1'. LayerlJlg ID4Y stlil be done, though it will depend on the attention bestowed afterwards whether they will root well. Pamies.-Prick out seedlings, and plant out the first struck cuttings for next year's bloom. Dahlias Pull off all damaged or deformed flowers, and take especial care by constant attention to staking, tying, &c. Sec., that the plants are not broken dnring boisterous weather. HARDY FRUIT AND KITCHEN GARDEN._Crevíces formed between the soil and walls are most favourite lodgmpnts of numerous insects; therefore, at this season, the soil adjoiniug walls should be frequently disturbed. A shallow trendl may be taken out all along; and as tIlls IS beIng proceeded with the soil adhering 10 the bricks shuuld be removed with a hard broom. Tbe portion of wall. thus exposed should then be sprinkled with gas-water, or with lime-water If the other cannot be readily obtained. Lime-water should be applied the lllstant it is made. Hemove all superfluous shoots from wall. trees; and expose the fruit of Peachcs and Nectarines, but this must not be done by culting off the foliage, as has been practised witb tbis view. If the foliage is in any case over- crowded, Ihe fault is owing to the laying in of the shoots and the remedy must consist in their proper regulation. Place dry Bean-stalks, cut in lengths of about 6 inches, among the branches, and by this means most of Ille earwigs may be caught before the Peaches become ripe. The soft pithy lining of the Bean-stalk is decidedly preferred by these insects to the finest polished tubes. Kitchen Garc1e7J.-Early Potatoes will now require to be taken up; and so must others that are affected with the too prevalent disease of this season. It will be improper to let these rrmain if their stems are blotched. Iu taking up the tubers, they ought not to be ex- posed to light any longer than can possibly be avoided and In stonng those that appear sound, they should he disposed in long narrow ridges, no straw on any account to be placed in contact with them; but if soil IS allowed to mis wich them iQ much the better,
the 4CItitrrit
the 4CItitrrit The Lord Bishop has fixed the 9th September for the consoci ation of the new church at Coalpitheath. The Bishop of Bangor on Tuesday consecrated the new church erected in the parish of Whitford, near Mostyn. The Lady Lyttleton, Sir Stephen Glynne, Bart., M.P., and many of the local gentry, were present at the ceremony, and the attendance of the clergy was most numerous. We are informed that the Rev. T. Murray Brown, chaplain to the Lord Bi hop of the Diocese, and hon. Canon of Gloster Catlie Iral, preached the annual sermon on behalf of the Society of the Clergy and sons of the Clergy, at the Cathedral, on Wednesday last, at a quarter-past two o'clock. CHRIST CIIURCH CLIFTON DOWN.—On Sunday week, Sermons were preached and collections made towards liquidating the debt incurred in the erection of this Church. The collection amounted to £ 100. Four hundred pounds are still wanting to cover the expenses incurred in building, endowing, and consecrating this beautiful and commodious Church, (irrespective of the tower which still remains unprovided for,) atul in provid- ing the Repair fund required by Act of Parliament. The Commissioners for Building New Churches state, in their report for 18-15, that by the aid of grants from their funds, seventeen new churches have been built; they afford accommodation for 12,618 persons, including 8,621 free seats for the poor. This makes on the whole, since the appointment of the Commission, 343 churches completed, with accommodation for 402,259 persons, in- cluding 225,217 free seats. The number of churches now building is thirty-six. Plans have been approved for twenty-three churches other plans are under considera- tion grants in aid have been made in a great number of places; and considerable progress has been made in the formation of new districts, new burial-grounds, &c.
RAILWAY STATISTICS.
RAILWAY STATISTICS. As many of our correspondents have inquired for a list of all the railroads which obtained the sanction of the Legislature in the last session of Parliament, we have complied with the request, and the following will be found a correct summary of all the new lines, consisting of 105 in England and Scotland, and 12 in Ireland, measuring, in the aggregate. 2841 miles, and involving capital to the amount of £ 44,322,235. The estimated revenue of these 117 new lines is £4,672,264, and of dividend to be paid on the capital invested £ 2,817,311. Independent of these there are seventy-seven railways completed or in progress, the amount of capital for which is £ 85,370,723, of which £32,279,830 remains to be called up. There are also 196 railways projected which have not yet been before Parliament, representing a total capital of £ 100,309,000; these, with some branches and extensions, make all aggregate capital of above E300,000,000, or JE15 per head for the entire po- pulation. Of this enormous sum, £72,644,938 is paid up, leaving £ 227,355,062 to be called for but, as some of these new lines will not be carried out, and, as in some instances the whole of the nominal capital will not be required, if we strike out £ 100,00il,000, there will still remain £ 130,000,000 to be paid in the course of four or five years.
