Eight of these children, four boys and four girls, are the only ones living." A MAGISTRATE SENT TO PRISON.—The Peterborough magistrates have sent their own chairman, Mr. William Bates, to prison in default of his finding bail to answer a charge of libel on a neighbouring clergyman, upon which they have committed him for trial.

On Sunday morning he rose 1 <• u usua^ health, and was preparing for the duties of the day, when he was suddenly attacked by illness, and died in the course of an hour. The news soon spread amongst members of the connexion, and in the evening the melancholy fact was referred to from the pulpits of all the metropolitan Wesleyan chapels. EWE ENCLOSED IN SNOW.—Mr. John Bennett, of Trelkeld, has a Herdwickewe which was happed pp with snow," on the 29th of January, and remained till the night of the 23ri February. She is now alive and likely to do well. The ewe had no chance ot getting food, and had only room sufficient to allow of her getting up and lying down again.

The fellow was arrested and has been sent to prison. CHURCH DKcn-rjNE.—Tn the Court of Arches on Monday the suit of the Bishop of Norwich against the Rev. Mr. Drury for officiating at Brother gnatiuR's monastery at Norwich came on for hear- ing. Mr. Drury's counsel asserted that the suit was a harsh proceeding on the part of the bishop, but it was shown that Mr. Drury bad presisted in offend- ing after full warning. Dr. Lushington sentenced him to be admonished not to offend again, and to pay costs-which are no trifle in the ecclesiastical courts. RAILWAY CHARGES AT LIVERPOOL.—At a Liverpool town meeting, on Thursday, an indignant protest was voted against the excessive railway charges to and from the port. One of the speakers showed that certain trades were aotually driven from the •Mersey in consequence of the excessive rates of railway carriage, aud it was estimated that Liverpool commerce paid an extra tax of half a million a year. A committee was appointed to work out the remedy, "Part of its labour being to watch the railway bills now before parliament. THE INSURANCE CASE.—The London wharfingers, Messrs. Barry and their workmen, who have been in custody for some weeks, and several times examined, on a charge of attempting to defraud various insur- ance offices, were again brought up before Mr. Alderman Stone on Friday, when several of the wit- nesses were recalled to complete their former testi. mony, and some new evidence was taken. At the close a further remand was asked for, and then for the first time the magistrate entertained the appli- cation to admit them to bail, exacting, however, heavy sureties. The decision gave great satisfaction to the persons present, who filled the justice-room, for the story of hardship to which they were sub- jected in their cells, as detailed the other night in the House of Commons, has excited very general indignation. CaARss OF ABDUCTION.—The charge against James Boucher and Elizabeth Beard, of abducting a girl named Catherine Allen Box, who was onder sixteen years of age, from her parents, who lived at Market-Lavington, was disposed of, before Mr. Justice Crompton, at Devizes, on Thursday. The jury found a verdict of not guilty, on evidence which showed that the girl had, by letters addressed to Boucher, declared her determination not to stay at home, where she was miserable, and her willingness to leave with him. She had arranged her own flight, and met Boueher at the house of Mrs. Beard. They went to London together, where the father of the girl traced them, and reclaimed his daughter. There had not been any impropriety between them, and they were preparing to be married. The girl was the principal witness in the case, and the judge expressed himself as dissatisfied with the evidence she gave, an opinion in which the jury concurred. THE WINTER IN RUSSIA.—The rigour of the present winter in Russia is exceptional, and the public misery which prevails in consequence is aggravated by a financial crisis. The Telegraph of Kiew says on that subject: In the memory of man so severe a winter has not been known. The villages are literally buried in snow, and the frost is becom- ing daily more intense. The celebrated fair, which lasts a fortnight, and the meeting of the landowners of the provinces of Wolhynia, Podolir, and the Ukraine, now taking place, are completely wanting animation—first, because specie is rare, and, next, because long journeys are almost impossible, in' consequence of the state of the roads from deep snow. The themometer ranks 26 deg. below zero Tahrenbeit; for the last sixty years it has not fallen so low. From the scarcity of coin, travellers at the end of each stage are obliged to receive from the •postmasters paper money with his signature, and which is naturally current only in a limited district. BREECH-LOADING CARBINEs.-The Government have now determined to arm the whole of the cavalry with carbines on the breech-loading principle, and have selected the Westley Richards' arm as the arm of the service. Its weight is about 6th., and the barrel, which is rifled on the Whitworth principle, is 20 inches in length, and is sighted up to 800 yards, at which distance it makes most wonderful practice. It has also a hardened projectile, which gives it greatly increased powerof penetration. Two thousand th 80 arms are already in the hands of the troops; are much approved, and 20,000 more are now in lahaAti!- raanufacture at Enfield they will be fin- ♦V,A BJ1S Two thousand infantry muskets on rnJ! are also being manufactured for -D- t*Je inventors, Messrs.

THE RECENT JAPANESE EXECUTION.-A correspon- dent writing from lokohama, Dec. 29, 1804 aavs • •"You will, ne doubt, be surprised to'hear that one of the murderers of poor Bird was executed in the ^ollowinsr manner yesterday, in the presence of all the soldiers and a great number of civilians: The day befere yesterday (Dec. 27) he was taken round the town on a pack-horse, under a strong guard, with his crime and his sentence before him, and then he was taken to the execution ground, but as it was then late (five o'clock p.m) and the troops could not wit- ness his execution, the same was objected to, and he was taken back to prison. He was executed, however, on the 28th December, by having his head cut off by a sword. He was brought to the ground in a «congo,' or native chair, from which be alighted and received his last meal-qome I sabi' and a smoke. He then begged not to be blindfolded, and his re- -q,ieat was granted. He requested the officers to give his love to his sweetheart, and walked up to the Pit into which his head was to fall, and knelt down -facing the troops, and there sang a song of the glory of hIs pnnce and master 'Meto,' who is the head Mm fr. v -mns»' chaffed the executioner, and asked all fnr«ion«SUre Ca* c^ean >' then at a roar, cursed .rs* 8a'd all they wanted was Japan— once tAlfAnItrt^Kanu-°^ro^0<* head, which was at •Piked for three days Hew°f Y<*ohama a"d there and confessed to killing^?9 "J"* rausca,ar raan> *ith "inn J *>ird.

A commission- aire, or street messenger, who might have been seen at his usual post a few days since, has just died at Paris: but by the exercise of great economy, he succeeded in saving £ 16,000, which sum is invested in Government securities and Railway bonds. A grocer's assistant and two Savoyards are his heirs. The three, on the occasion of inheriting this fortune, resolved to indulge themselves with a dinner, and they repaired to a miserable eating-house, where they spent fivepence-half penny each RAILWAYS TO BE SUPERSEDED.—Mr. W. H. James, C.E., of Warwick, states that he has invented an im- proved mode of transit, whereby passengers may be conveyed 100 miles at the very small charge of Is. each, provided there are a sufficient number of travellers; and for great distances at the rate, if desired, of 100 miles an hour and upwards, when there are no intermediate stoppages, with greater safety and much greater comfort than on the present railways and that this improved system of transit may be brought into general use in less than one- tenth part of the time, and at less than one-tenth of the cost, of the present railway system. THE SCOTCH MINISTER AND HIS FEMALE PARISH- IONERS.—At the quarterly meeting of the Commis- sion of the Free Church General Assembly, held at Edinburgh, on Wednesday, Dr. Candlish called atten- tion to the extraordinary advertisement lately pub- lished by the Free Church minister of Lochend, in the Inverness Courier. The advertisement, it will be remembered, stated that all the young and un- married women of Lochend had assembled in the vestry of the Free Church, to get their characters "adjusted" by Dr. Campbell, in consequence of an imputation arising from the circumstance that the Ldead body of an infant bad been found in Loch Ness, the certificate given being that the medical man had examined a number of young and unmarried women of Lochend, and had no reason to believe that any of them had been recently confined." Dr. Candlish hoped that the local presbytery would lose no time in investigating the case, and should they fail in their duty, he had no doubt the next General As. sembly would take cognisance of the matter. The transaction was one singularly shocking and revolt- ing, and without parallel in the history of the Chris- tian Church. TRIAL FOR CHILD MURDER.—Two women, a mo- ther and her daughter, named respectively Mary Ann Raven, 59, and Sarah Ann Raven, a servant, aged 23, were arraigned at Warwick, on Saturday, on the charge of having murdered the illegitimate child of Emma Raven, sister of the younger prisoner, and another daughter of the elder. Evidence was given by the mother of the dead child, that when her baby was born, the two prisoners were in the room, that they took the infant to a distant part of the chamber, and she heard her mother remark that she did not know what to do with it; her sister then said, "Let's kill it." and threw herself upon the child, lying upon it till it was dead. This woman, when taken into custody, admitted to the policeman that she had crushed the child's head while her mother held it, but she said her fall upon the body was acci- dental. They buried it at the foot of a tree in the garden, whence it was exhumed with all the marks of violence upon it. The elder prisoner charged all upon her daughter, and she declared that her mo- ther instigated the whole crime. The jury found them guilty of concealment of birth, and they were sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment. KIDNAPPING.—A word of warning to those whom the Unions are persuading to emigrate. A bill is about to be introduced before the United States Assembly, the first clause of which decrees that in case of any default of repayment by the emigrant to the contractor for his passage he shall be liable to the contractor for double the amount, and that the contractors shall have a lien on any and all the man s wages for three years and that on written notice any employer of such man shall be bound to pay over his wages and legal costs of suit to the con- tractors. Secondly, that if the man be enlisted, the States shall pay over the bounty money to the said contractors, Thirdly, that married women and children under age, entering into bargains for pas- sages, shall be similarly liable for three years to the contractors in the United States. It is to this kind ef servitude that the unionist presidents and secre- taries urge the working men of England to commit themselves, and are ready, as we showed by the cor- respondence in our last number, to ship them off by hundreds, as a supposed means of making more room and better wages for themselves-a. supposi. tion which every law of political economy as well as practical experience has shown to be entirely falla- ciouf'Ryland's Circular. THE STAFFORDSHIRE LOCK-OUT.-The great lock- out which has for some time been impending in Staffordshire has at length taken place. The extent of the calamity may be judged from the statement of a Birmingham paper of Monday, which says:- There are 3000 furnaces in South Staffordshire. They were at work on Saturday, but they are cold this morning. 6000 puddlers were employed at them, and for each puddler there was an assistant, and for every puddler and for every assistant there was a labourer. There were coal wheelers, ash wheelers, boat loaders and unloaders, horse drivers, and labourers employed in many other capacities in connection with the ironworks. There were also 3500 millmen. Very soon after the stopping of the ironworks a great number of colliers must be thrown out of work. On the whole, 34,000 or 35,000 per- sons will be thrown out of employment in South Staffordshire alone this week, and £40,000 a week that used to be distributed in wages will no longer circulate amongst the families of the poor. If the lock-oat be persevered in all over the country, in ac- cordance with the compact which the ironmasters have entered into with each other, 70,000 men will be thrown out of employment, and above 200,000 per- sons will be deprived of the means of subsistence. Nearly £100,000 a week that used to be paid in wages will be diverted from the labouring classes of the iron districts of this country, and will circulate in some other channel." FEDERAL KIDNAPPING IN CANADA.—It is stated on the authority of a Montreal journal that there are 1 no less than 36,000 French Canadians alone in the Federal army. One thing is certain, that there are a host of recruiting agents scattered over the pro. vince, a few of whom are now and again brought to 1 iustice. Last week one fellow was sentenced in Montreal to a fine of 160 dollars and six months' imprisonment for enticing a private of the 60th i Regiment to desert. A day or two ago the Quebec I Court of Queen's Bench was occupied with the trial ] of a boarding-house keeper for attempting to enlist a young man as a soldier in the service of the United States. A demurrer was taken, but Mr. Justice Mondelet held that the Imperial statute relating to j foreign enlistments is in force in Canada, having i been passed in the interest of the empire at large. It appears from the evidence in the case that the prisoner offered a young man 400 dollars to go with him to join the Federal army, which the lad, being under the influence of liquor, consented to do. Both persons were traced to the railway terminus at Point Levi, and the young man has not made bis appear. ance in Quebec since. Upon the father of the boy accusing the prisoner of kidnapping his son, he re- marked, "I have not made much out of him, and he stole my coat on the road." Four witnesses testified to the circumstance of seeing the youth and the prisoner together. After the judge bad summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the accused, who was at once taken into custody. MURDER OF A NEPHEW AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF THE MURDERESS.—A shocking affair has taken place at Hackney. It is stated that for some time past a woman, Elizabeth Carmichael, has been sub. jected to fits of religious fanaticism. She was in consequence very desponding; and as her husband expresses it, often "sulked." On Friday morning the husband got up, and left his wife and her ne. phew, a boy named Henry Joseph Smith, aged ten years, in bed. He went downstairs, lit the fire, and prepared breakfast. He then took his wife and his nephew their breakfast upstairs. Much to his sur- prise he found the door locked. He knocked, but received no answer. He thought, as he stated, that his wife was sulking, and he went to his work, but returned in a few hours to take his wife up her dinner; but upon knocking he still received no an. swer. At tea-time he brought her up her tea, but hIS knocking elicited no sound. At half-past seven o clock in the evening he for the fourth time went to hIS wife's room, and no notice being taken of his knocks he said, « I tell you what it is, 111 have no more of your sulking; if you do not open the door or answer, I shall send for the police and have the door burst in." He then burst open the door with hIS shoulder, and was horrified in discovering the dead body of the nephew lying across the bed, with his bead thrown back, and a fearful gash on his throat. Carmichael then turned to his wife and said, Aunt, aunt, what have you done?" She gave a moan, and pointed to the dead body of the ne- phew. There was a dreadful cut ocrof-s her throat, severing the windpipe. On Saturday afternoon she was partly sensible, but unable to speak. When asked if sbe wished to make any statement, she wrote the werd No." Her death is hourly expected.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at the Paddington station. Mr. R. Potter, the chairman, presided. Mr. F. G. Saunders, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which appeared in the Cardiff Times last week, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re- port, said that the most prominent feature in it was that the gross receipts for traffic during the past half-year showed an increase of £135,000 as com- pared with the corresponding period of 1863. The most disappointing matter was, that out of that in- crease they were only able to offer the shareholders an increase in the sum available for dividend of £30,000, and in offering them that amount, he would explain how the remainder had been ex- pended. He might mention, however, that the divi- dend for the year 1863 amounted to X2 7s. per cent., andi for the year 1864 to X3 2s. 6d. per cent. Now one of the largest items of increased expendi- ture bad arisen from interest charges, £lG,OOO for the six months ending January, 1865, as compared with those for the same half-year ending January, 1S64. Of that sum X7000 was for interest on the increase of capital expended, and there was a sum of .64000 expended on the Aberdare branch of the Newport section. He might tell them that there was not one farthing of interest on capital that hal; not been chargeable to revenue. They had been a" severe on revenue as possible, so as not to increase the capital in any way that could be avoided. (Hear, hear.) There was a charge of £ 5000 for an increase of the interest owing to the charges for higher rates of money that bad prevailed during the last six months; and, looking to the large amount of float- ing debt, he did not think that the increase of X5000 owing to the increased rates, was more than lioald bo.TO boon tcasuuoblj- onpootoJ A 1QrgrA item in expense was £18,000. fqr additional rent- charges for linei leased by this company, as com- pared with those for the corresponding period end- ing January 31, 1864. Several new lines had been opened-the Tenbury and Bewdley, and the exten- sion of the Wycombe from Thame to Oxford and Aylesbury. The Tenbury and Bewdley was a line over which the London and North-Western could get access from South Staffordshire and Manchester to South Wales. 10 a year or two that was likely to be one of the most profitable lines they had. On the first opening of lines, the expense of working was considerable as compared with the receipts- The line from Thame to Oxford'and Aylesbury was carried out when the West Midland were projecting an independent line to London for themselves, and j it now furnished a second line to Oxford through Buckinghamshire. Those lines had been worked during the half-year without yielding any profit to the company. The H-imstead and City and Cole- brookdale branch had been opened for traffic during the past half-year. With regard to the locomotive expenses, they had exceeded by £8,200 those for the corresponding period, but the bliai-ge per train mile was less than for the same half of the preceding year. The additional mileage run by the trains during the past half-year was 700,000 miles, which also tended to increase the expenses. The same might be said of the item for carriage and wagon expenses, which had shown an increase of £ 7,800. In the carry- ing account there was an increase of £19,000, and in the general charges of £ 12,000. • Those items of in- crease had been partly caused by additional expenses, and were partly necessitated by a desire to provide for the convenience and safety of the public. They bad been compelled to increase their staff and to re- duce the rates charged in consequence of the strike, and they had thus obtained a carrying traffic between Staffordshire and South Wales, which he hoped would recompense them by the interchange of new traffic. There was not sufficient rolling stock or ade- quate siding accommodation at many places on their system, but when those were provided, the present working expenses, in some respects, would be dimi- nished. They had made traffic and other arrange- ments with the Vale of Neath and the Metropolitan Railway Companies, which he trusted would be be. neficial. That made with the Yale of Neath Com- pany would give them access to the Aberdare coal district and to the docks at Swansea, which would save them much expense in working the mineral traffic. They had placed Mr. J. Williams, the general manager of the Vale of Neath Railway, at the head of the Welsh district, and from his perfect knowledge of the requirements of the traders, and other circum- stances, the new arrangements would be beneficial to all parties. The arrangement with the Metropolitan would give the Great Western access to the beart of the city of London, and bring them into communi- cation with the Inner Circle line." The long tram" from Bristol, Birmingham, and other places would be developed by means of quick trains running into the Finsbury station, and also the suburban traffic would be brought into operation. The present sta- tion at Faringdon-street, which now covered about three and a half acres, would be leased to the Great Western at a certain rent for a goods station. This would save them four miles of cartage, and enable them to carry and deliver a certain description of goods traffic that they could not get before. He trusted they would unanimously approve those ar- rangements. (Cheers.) During the half-year they had entered into an agreement with the London and North-Western for the joint possession of the Shrews- bury and Welshpool Railway, which had been hereto- fore worked rather against the interests of the Great Western Company. They had also agreed with the South-Western Company for a joint lease of the Weymouth and Portland line, which, he hoped, would be opened for traffic in a few weeks. They had also agreed with the Metropolitan Company to take a joint lease of the Hammersmith and City line, on the principle of allowing a rebate on four miles of the Metropolitan and one mile of the Great Western, equivalent to a fixed guarantee of five per cent. for the first year, rising for four years at the rate of two shillings and sixpence per cent., until it arrived at Live and a half per cent., which was to be continued for nine hundred and ninety-nine years. This would ?ivo them an outlet for their minerals, and tend to develope the traffic on the main line. The Board had appointed Mr. Young, one of the mem- bers of an eminent firm, to conduct their law and 1 Parliamentary business for a stipulated amount, and < lie trusted that in future there would be a saving. under that head. They proposed to raise XI,000,000 ] more capital for the purpose of satisfying the public requirements and to accommodate the increase of traffic, to construct and improve stations at Slough, ] Reading, and ether places, and to provide additional s rolling stock. They proposed to interchange traffic i with the South-Eastern and Brighton Companies, tnd to take the express lines on one side of the new ioint station to be built at Reading, so as to avoid iccidents. The workshops at Swindon would be enlarged to meet the requirements of increased 1 traffic, and to keep their working stock in efficient repair. They proposed to lay down the narrow grauge over the Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester line, which would complete their narrow gauge communi- cation from South Wales to Birkenhead. The out- Lay on those facilities and improvements would be most productive to the company, and would yield 20, 30, or 40 per cent. He then explained that the by-law which had been agreed apon two years ago for preventing the formation of any extension lines without the permission of the shareholders could not be acted upon to the letter, as they were often surrounded with speculative competitive schemes. While the directors were willing to carry out the spirit of that by-law, they could not, in the interests of the company, be bound by the letter of it. They had agreed to form, in conjunction with the Midland and Bristol and Exeter Company, a joint station at Bristol, as the present one was quite inadequate to accommodate the traffic. There was a new line pro- posed from the Midland Railway at Hendon through Buckinghamshire to the East Gloucestershire Rail- way, which was a speculative, needless, and injurious scheme, and he had confidence in the wisdom of Parliament that they would reject it. With regard to the Government Commission to inquire into the working expenses of railways, the directors would endeavour to further their object and fnrnish them with every information in their power. He hoped that it would be so composed as to fairly represent the vast mass of capital that bad been expended on the railways, and that the commission would also inquire into the causes and effects of the action of Parlia- ment generally on the railway system, and as to how an economical and beneficial state of things could be established for the future. He bad no doubt that the traffio on the company's line would go on increasing, and if the proprietors would give the directors the means of carrying it on in a proper manner he bad no doubt the result would be satis. factory to the proprietors. A period when the re- ceipts were increasing was the time of an others to economise the expenses. He could assure them that the promotion and advancement of every officer in their service would depend on the vigour and pru- dence with which he economised every item of ex- penditure in his department. He hoped, therefore, to see a complete system of economy pervading every department of their great undertaking. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. FENTON, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. Major COURT thought the directors ought to have stated in their report the amount expended on the Vale of Neath line, and the grounds upon which they recommend the amalgamation with that com- pany. Mr. DELAHUNTY called attention to the energetic manner in which the London and North-Western Railway Company were endeavouring to secure the whole of the Irish traffic. He contended that the southern portion of that traffic belonged to the Great Western Company, and that proper means should be immediately adopted to secure it. Lord R. CECIL was glad to say they bad now a very efficient Board and a very able chairman, and he thought that fully justified the shareholders in sup- porting the Board in every way they could. He should like to know the amount of the Parliamentary expenses during the past half-year. Mr. MARRIOTT said that the London and North- Western were not satisfied with getting their fair share of the Irish traffic, but had taken steps in the north and south to secure the whole of it. Mr. TAYLOR stated that he found from the accounts that the legal and Parliamentary expenses paid by the company during the half-year had amounted to £ 35,000.. Mr. ADAMS, a candidate for a seat at the Board, said he thought the present directors bad had a very .'air trial, and that the result of their operations had disappointed every one in the room. The increased traffic for the past half-year had cost 50 per cent. to work it, while for the corresponding half-year it had been worked for 25 per cent. of the increased re- ceipts. He was quite as Confident as ever, if the undertaking was properly managed, that in the course of five or six years it would yield dividends of 8 per cent. on the ordinary stock. Mr. GILES thought the chairman and directors were fllHv entitled t-n tVmip With ivarrnvrl to the by-law, it was all very well at the time it was passed, but he believed that in the altered state of things it was impossible to carry it out with advan- tapre to the company. The scheme for connecting their line with South Wales by crossing under the Severn by a tunnel was far superior to that of another company for carrying a line over the Severn by means of a high-level bridge, at three times the cost of the tunnel line. The CHAIRMAN replied to the various observations, apparently to the entire satisfaction of the meeting. He stated that they were on the most friendly and amicable terms with the London and North-Western Company. The directors had under corsideration the organisation of a better service between South Wales and Waterford, for the development of the southern portion of the Irish traffic. The course adopted by the Midland Company in respect of the East Gloucestershire scheme was unjustifiable, under the authorised agreement with the Great Western. The Vale of Neath Company were not to have less than £(-4;000 a year or 5,0625 per cent. of the joint traffic. The amount of their capital had, therefore, nothing to do with the arrangement, which it was believed would prove a very beneficial one to them and the traders in the district.. Resolutions were then una-nimously passed adopt- ing the report and statementQf accounts, declaring a dividend at the rate of 3|- per cent. per annum on the Great Western consolidated stock, at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the West Midland (Ox- ford) stock, at the rata'of 1J per cent. per:annum on the West Midland (Newport) stock, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the West Midland (Here- ford) stock and at the rate of 31 per cent. per an- num on the South Wales Consolidated stock, leaving a balance of £G,087; re-electing the retiring direc- tors, viz., Mr. Bodenham, Mr.;Brown, Mr. Dillwyn, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Michel), Mr. Ogilvy, and Mr. Walpole empowering the directors to raise the sum of £ 1,000,000 by the i-sue of shares or stock in such manner and on such conditions as they might think fit; approving the bill now before Parliament for granting further powers to the company, and au- thorising the directors to proceed with it and ap- proving and confirming the agreements with the Vale of Neath Railway Company, the Metropolitan Railway Company, the Hammersmith and City Rail- way Company, and the Lr;ndol'l and North-Western Railway Company, for the joint ownership of the Shrewsbury and Welshpool Railway. A vote of thanks to the chairman for his able and efficient conduct in the chair, and to the directors for their services, concluded the proceedings.
------------TERRIBLE FIRE…
TERRIBLE FIRE IN CONSTANTINOPLE. The Levant Herald gives a full account of the teirjhle and disastrous fire at Constantinople on the'20th of last month. It broke out shortly after eleven o'clock at night in the Roman Catholic Convent of St. Benoit, in Galata, and in a short time spread amongst the wooden buildings around, and raged over a large extent of ground. The sisters and female pupils of the institution were with great difficulty rescued, and ruuhed from the burning building with any scanty gar- ments they could seize on the moment. Some sixty toloumbajoes, with four fire-engines, had stationed themselves along a high stone wall in a corner of the convent quadrangle, where they were not so much exposed to the flames, and could work their engines with more effect. With them were standing a large number of policemen and general spectators, when suddenly, and without the slightest warning, the wall toppled outwards, literally cresting over the doomed crowd below like the curve of a breaking wave, and burying the engines, with the whole of their crews, and a large number of the police and on- looking crowd. Not a man who had stood within the fatal shadow of the fallen wall escaped. Almost simultaneously a portion of the western wall fell over on a small, densely-inhabited house outside the convent limits, and, crushing through its roof, killed, it is said, eight of its inmates, who were engaged in endeavouring to rescue their effects. Altogether it is estimated that up- wards of one hundred persons lost their lives. The dangers attending any attempt to extinguish the flames in the narrow streets of Galata, the deficiencies of the capital in proper fire-engines, and the want of water, caused the conflagration to have it all its own way, and it only became extinguished when it had burned out all within its reach, and when its further progress was stopped by wide gaps made by pulling down dis- tant houses.

It is, we believe, considered indispensable by most la dies that to insure a good cup of Tea," the infusion should be made with young leaves, as they alone possess great strength and choice flavour. The ingenious Chinese, with a view to disguise and get rid of brown withered sorts,1 face the leaf with mineral colour, consequently it is evident that those who desire tea reliable for strength an<^i c~°'c? ^avour must always purchase it undisguised such Tea is imported by Horniman & Co., London their green has no bluish mineral facing,' being a dark olive hue, and is with their black, very moderate in price. To nsure these teas reaching the purchaser as imported, it is sold by accredited Agents in sealed packets, with the price printed on each, and signed by Horniman and Co., original importers of the Pure Tea. As imitations abound it is needful to notice their signature. 3010 it is wel known that the teas imported from China for consumption in this country are artificially coloured to impart a fictitious appearance of value. This is so generally known that ccmpanies have been formed for the sale of uncoloured tea—a process not difficult to accomplish by means of steam tube and drying pan, thus rendering a uniformity of colour and nature never yet arrived at. This is to be avoided by purchasing Himalaya Tea, which is strong and invigorating, being free from the poisonous colour put on China Tea. Sold only in packets at 3s. 4d., 4s., and 4s. 6d. per lb., by the following agents in Cardiff:—Mrs. Coleman, chemist, High-street; James and Williams, chemists, 281, Bute- street; Mr. Rusher, Angel-street; and W.

Davies, Confectioner, St. Mary-street. 1546 RELIEF FROM COUGH IN TEN MINUTES.—Hayma?i's Balsam of Horehound is found to be a never failing cure for coughs, colds, hoarseness, asthma, with all disorders of the chest and lungs. It is the best, safest, and nicest cough medicine known. Having a most pleasant and luscious taste it can be administered with the greatest ease to infants and children. It gives immediate relief, and by perseverance will effect a certain cure in the most obstinate cases.-See Advertisement. 5440 A HINT TO THE LADIEs.-If you want your Laces and Linens dressed in a superior style (and who does not?) you should use only the GLENFIELD STARCH, and you will be delighted with the elasticity and beauti- ful elasticity it gives to those articles. The Glenfield Starch is exclusively used in the Royal Laundry, and her Majesty's Laundress pronounces it to be the finest starch she ever used. It was awarded two prize medals for its superiority, and the manufacturers have received numerous testimonials from all classes, all agreeing as to its excellent qualities. We would respectfully caution our fair readers when buying the Glanfield Starch, to see that they get it, as inferior kinds are often substituted. The manufacturers have much pleasure in stating that they have been appointed Starch Purveyors to R.R.H. the Princes of Wales. 3062 NEWS FROM THE PALACE.—The Royal servants are now using RKCKITTS' DIAMOND BLACK LEAD. This fact must prove to all that it is better than any other kind for, of course, they use the best of everything. 4436
