ILORD . 12EDESDALE:,_AIE. BRASSEY, AND THE RSAY BASTIAN RAILWAY IiOARL. The Times publishes a reply from Lord Rodesdale to the letter of Mr. Armory, which appeared in the Srpre m of Tuesday last, relating to the dispute about the Dunmow line. "A railway," says his lordship, "is generally un &Mood to be a contractor's line when a contractor under takes to construct it, taking the capital of the company me The leir .) ..li n is w oaitrol and line . fi so nd u ira n tl i i , e money for the ln wor c k i, arrangements the work is generally agreed r to le executed su at a scale of prices from 30 to 40 per cent. above what the actual cost price would be if the company found the money to pay for it. Mr. ltrassey says that he was applied to by Kr. Bidder, an active director of the Great Eastern Company, to undertake the construction of the Duiimow line, but he omits to notice the important point to which I directed attention, that the Great Eastern had no authority to enter into the agreement on which he founds his claim. He must have known that such was the case, and that it was an illegal engagement, sot worth the paper on which it was written ; and yet he did not call on the company to take the neces sary steps to make it legal and binding, though he re quired them to obtain power to guarantee the shares of the Dunmow Company, which made those shares valuable to him. He says that he had no knowledge of the act of De% I think that in the multitude of his engagements be must have forgotten something which occurred more than two years ago. That act could not have been passed without the assent of the Dunmow Company having been given at a meeting called for the purpose. He miniits that he is the only shareholder in the company besides the Great Eastern, and he must have received the requisite notice. If by some under- band proceeding the directors of the Great Eastern Company contrived in some incomprehensible manner to keep him in ignorance, and provided Wee evidence to satisfy the standing orders requirements, I should be justi. lel in saying that they swindled him. If they did nut do so, be must have received notice of the bill, though he may hare omitted to attend to it, and has forgotten it. Yr. Brainy contends that, as the coat of the work done at the e of prices under the illegal agreement exceeded by MOO/. the 80,0001. allowed under the act of 1865, Le as titled to receive that additional sum, and the more so as tra works were ordered by the Great Eastern Company, d executed under their engineer. The Great Eastern no authority to order any work on the Dunmow line, Id he was the Duninow Company who could alone deter. is what should be done, and who did it, and the engineer • Great Eastern was also the engineer of the Di/meow -v, and must be held to have ordered what was done ADO in that capacity. Mr. Brassey's position may an unfortunate one, though probably the 80,0001. from ;rest Eastern and the 40,000/. Dunmow debentures the got afford fair payment for the actual cost of the be executed. But whatever los, he may have sus must be attributed to his own imprudenNi end neg. The question as between himself and the Great a Company must be determined by the final and .01111 , 1) arrangement confirmed by parliament under the dm% agreed to by that company and by the Dun 'mammy. He is the Dunmow Company, and he can :Witte the arrangement so come to, and set up it a claim founded on an illegal agreement made San two years before. and which, even if it had been would have been supersedid by the Act of 1805." Reronm LEAunr..—At the meeting of the of the Reform League, held last evening at the No. 8, Adelphi-terrace, the chairman (Mr. Cooper) Attention to the electoral statistics sent by Mr. Ac .o the Daily Nernst, end said that the facts and figures shown should be attentively perused and considered working classes. Those to whom the franchise had long denied had now, as it appeared from the infor iven by Mr. Aclund, a potential influence in poll. Men, and the power of the ►ristocracy was at pre , a great extent, and would before long be entirely ed. He thought it was exceedingly desirable that ieland's tables should be published in pamphlet form. Mantle introduced the subject of the proposed Reform .iquet, and stated that the following resolution mitre to by the executive:—" That as the passing dorm Bill was mainly due to the exertions of the League, it is essential that the League should any banquet held to express the national gratifica- Resolved, therefore, that without any disrespect to we recommend the council to proceed with the .

The bridge, weighing eight tons, with a tremendous crash into the sea, and affairs were , rue time most critical, the passengers by the ferry steamer herself being in a position of considerable r. The connection between the stage and the bridge lag at length been broken the bridge sank. Measures taken to prevent the further drifting of the stage, the Steiner was towed off to an anchorage. Foeta l)* no lives were lost, and the Galileo has sustained '" injury. The repair of the stage and the refitting of idge will be the most expensive part of the disaster. meantime a wooden bridge is being erected to anodate the passenger traffic, which at this period of fear is very great.

ARRIVAL OF THE JAVA.—CROOK HAVEN, SEPT. 5, P.M.—The Cunard steamer Java is now passing the Browbead signal station. She will probably arrive at Queenstown at 5 p.m. Letters will reach London at G. 25 p.m. to-morrow (Friday). The Times is requested to state that the letter published in a Saturday journal last week, purporting to be written by Mr. Henry Cole, was cal efully examined and compared with a genuine signature of that gentle. man's before being sent to the printer. A " Horn Fair " is, we believe, an old-esta blished method by which popular indignation Is displayed against any individual who has committed some gross outrage against the laws of morality. In the present in stance it appears that a married tradesman, at Petham, had taken advantage of his intimacy with the family of • neighbouring farmer to seduce his daughter. On Saturday last, a very rough band indeed, numbering about 50, paraded the village, making the most discordant and on. earthly noises it is possible to conceive . Of course the noiseincreased opposite the offender's door, and total silence reigned when the farmer's house was passed. The band was accompanied by a mob of some 400 or 500 per sons, who carried a hideous effigy of the offender. Later in the evening they repaired to an elevated spot in the parish, where, with the help of faggots and tar barrels, • huge bonfire was lit, and the effigy burnt amidst a scene of uproar rarely witnessed in a quiet country village. The police were in attendance, but as no direct breach of the peace was committed, they did not interfere. We should say that the object of all this popular indignation will long remember the rough, though just judgment passed by his neighbours upon his misconduct- Kentish Obperrer. TIT FOR TAT. —A circular has been issued an nouncing the formation of a "Licensed Victuallers' Tea Association," to compete with the grocers in return for their having entered into the retail wine trade under the act passed by Mr. Gladstone in 11400. The argument Is that this act was a direct interference with the business of the licensed victuallers, "the most highly taxed body of traders in the kingdom ;" and that as the grocers were not slow to avail themselves of the new field thus thrown open to them, and have cultivated it wish assiduity, the licensed victuallers have been driven to consider how they may best protect and Indemnify themselves. An association, it is alleged, has accordingly been formed for this purpose, " which, stronu by its connexion with gentlemen of long residence in China, and large experience as tea tasters, can • undertake to dispense with intermediate profits, and to : supply tea "at • lower price than the p urc h as i ng retail grocers pay. CAUTION TO TRAVELLERN.—Last week, accord ing to the SherLonte Journal, Dr. Garland and Mr. Thos. Moore, of Yeovil, were robbed at the Victoria Hotel, j Weymouth, of money, watches, and other property to the amount of 701. While they were sleeping in • double bedded room, some thief entered and effected his object. LIGHT BREAD.—At the Kingston petty sessions yesterday nine bakers living in the borough were sum moned for selling bread deficient in weight. Three of the number sold half-quartern loaves which were 2oz. light ; ' the other loaves varied in their deficiency from loz. 14dra. to Wm. One of the parties summoned was a member of the corporation of the borough of Kingston, but he, as did the others, denied any intention on his part of de ' trending the public. _ _ _ Seem SneLts.—Eight hundred tons of shells have iseently been returned to Washington to be emptied and stored, and it is said that the workmen bare discovered that work upon them is not dangerous, as saw-dust has been substituted for powder in the preparation of these projectiles. How many thousands of them similarly filled were fired ►t the rebel forces during the war it is impos sible to calculate. —New York Zeta. 011DEFAIIT SRA3 AID MOCK& at I Pd.

Business in the Stock Exchange to-day is very inactive, and prices exhibit a slight decline in some cases. The reduction, however, is unimportant, the usual operators for a fall being deterred from making sales by the absence of any fresh unfavour able feature, either political or commercial. A confirmation of the news of the release of the Abys sinian captives will probably cause much animation in the markets, but no important increase in the transactions is expected until the expiration of two or three weeks, when most of the dealers will have returned from their holidays. Consols have declined i t per cent., and a few of the British railway securities kto if. Foreign bonds, however, continue in demand. The demand for money to-day is moderate, and the supply large.

The half-yearly meeting of the Caledonian Rail way Company will be held on the 25th September, when the shareholders will be asked : let.

To give distinctive titles to those portions of the Preference Shares and Stock of the Scottish North- Eastern Company which were crested before the passing of the Caledonian and Scottish North-Eastern Railway Com panies Amalgamation Act, 1866, but had not been issued at that data 3rd.

The minimum price was fixed at Is. 1111 d. on Calcutta and Madras, and Is. 111 d. on Bombay. No ten ders at these prices were received. Ihe govern ment have probably been induced to fix the above rates at a comparatively high point with a view to discourage remittances to the East, and thus keep their balances at Bombay as far as possible intact. Although the coat of the Abyssinian expedition will of course be eventually borne by the mother coun try, it will entail in the first instance a considerable drain upon the Indian treasury. The preliminary expenditure must already have been large, and even if the expedition is found to be unnecessary, many claims connected with the movement of troops will remain to be settled. The London and North-Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 2,1401. over last year ; the Midland an increase of 4,6411. ; and the North London an increase of 606/. . . Samples of new season's Moning tea, per steamer Ajax, were placed on the market yesterday morn ing. The otters ranged from Is.

The half-yearly meeting of the British Gaslight Company (Limited) will be held on the 25th inst., when a dividend will be declared. With reference to the leather market, Messrs. T., J., and T. Powell report as follows, under date September 3 : The leather trade of the past month, although showing a I decided improvement, has scarcely been marked by the degree of activity that might have been expected in the existing circumstances of the market. The small supplies and advancing rates of foreign hides, with diminished stocks of leather, accompanied by the fine weather for the harvest, and extreme cheapness of money, have not stimu lated the market to any pat extent, almost the only ad vance that can be quoted itt prices being on English sole leather. Although so little inguence has, however, at pre sent been felt, it may reasonably be anticipated that as the causes above named are not of a temporary or uncertain character, they will continue to add firmness and activity to the market.

BARNET FAIR, THIS DAT (THORSDAY).—This morning the fair opeaed for the second day. There were many horses on rale.

A very large clearance has been effected to-day among the droves of Welsh pony colts, and all horses of high class readily found buyers at advanced prices. There ie • large mass of victualling booths erected on the fair fields, and the rein has quite swamped these canvas hostelries. In the pleasure fair there is a large concourse of penmen, and great preparations are being made for the horse races to morrow, which will come off over the horse fair fields.

HORROR* OF THE ORISSA FAMINE.—MT. Miller, a missionary at Bellmore, writes :—" Nothing that I have ever read of has enabled me to conceive of anything equal to this famine. I have known of no instance of Hindus eating dogs Or eats, or cows, but they did eat their own children when they were dead. I beard welhauthenti cated instance in which a mother and eon were found eat ing a dead child. I know of nothing to surpass this famine, either as to its extent or its severity." It must be remem bered that the cow is sacred to the Hindoos ; it, in feet, worshipped by them as a god. The same gentlem in further reports :—" Hundreds died in the fields and out-of-the.way places where no one saw them. If one chanced to cross the country, one saw the bodies lying about , and Pie jackals eating them. I should say, to he within hound.. that shout a fourth of the population of Gripe* has died. The misery and suffering have never been fully described: it would have been altered impossible to exaggerate them." Dr. Jackson, the medical officer at Balasore, writes :--" Cute prejudice's even then interfered, and many people would not cat the food most necesory in their con dition, such ea soup. When people ere reduced in weight beond a certain point, they almost invariably air. There was terrible struggling at the place of the sole of rice. I had the door of my own house broken in. and the coat torn off my back by women eager to purchase. Those who fared worst in the struggle to buy eke were those—the very poorest—who had to go to work , and cools! not spare time. Latterly we discovered th at a great part of are famine mortality wan dne to an extraordivary tendency to the production el frightful worms, which protect - A fatal appearances of cholera and other disease*. At the hos pital the mere throwing of the dead bodies into a pit and. covering them with earth was more than enough to employ every mehter (sweeper) we could get--the mehters (or sweepers) being the only caste in the district who would touch the dead bodies." And last, and most frightful picture of all, the same gentleman re ports :—" I saw a woman lift up her arm, and let it drop, while a dog was pulling et her entrails and eating them."—Fraso's Mapu. rine for September. ;it nil nd ip rat* the the rd. try aliti , and ED). .. 1 :91.02! — lie' 51441 ;:t W.c.loil Mt l;100 4,0001 11,90111 11,11,000 i 1,02410001 — ilia' 4°•!'", ?00 5,660 6,000 1,121) 6121 B. l' t Laiil u - IA n - .i 1911 38 - A., 10 i I 181 .... 151 81 - at id
