The pantomime is "Harlequin King of the Castle," stay gurgcuusly got up, and exceed ingly well danced told tumbled. For our taste it is somewhat of the longest; hut genius is often exuberant, and we have no doubt that the pruning-knife of the manager will be judiciuusly employed in future representa tions Beth mecca were execriingly well received, and every tenant which the galleries could hear, without interrup tion to their own more interesting colloquial intercpurae, was hormonal with a very fair amount of applause. VICTORIA,—•" The Mack Doctor," a piece adapted from the Frer.ch, and the " Birth of Steam" are the Chriet mas noveltha provided by the manager fur the amusement of the th.l'elay Ilk who frequent this theatre. The former piece. i- n ice ilNitalla, in tour acts, which contains some affectime Mr . :dents. It was well received, and Mr. Hicksand Miss Vilicent, oho sustained the principal characters ' ob tained a weld-merited, but too vociferous applause. The latter, however, was the piece for the occasion. It opens with the entrance 4)1 the Emperor of the realms of Topsey Turves., whom , old-tieshioned ideas are quite opposed to the new order of things introduced by the " Birth of Steam." I The entertuinineet is carried on thr. ugh eight stations, and stops at last at " the grand terminus of pantomine in the realms of laughter." Whilst passing through these several stations, the principal topics of the day, social and political, are intr Armed in a grotesque and laughable form, by means of the mechanical contrivances usual, from time im memorial, on these occasions. There was, now and again, a little awkwardness in shifting the machinery, but, on the other hand, the scenery was excellent, and, on the whole, the piece received a boisterous reception from an audience crowded to inconvenience. ASTI,EY's.—The performances at this place of enter tainmont on Saturday night consisted of the fortieth represen tation ot the "Demon Horse," scenes in the circle, and the new Pantomine of the "Forty Thieves, or Harlequin and Ali Baba." The last was admirably and expensively pro duce!, both ai regards scenery and devotes but it did not fulfil the usual requirements of pantominc in the way of drollery. It was, however, successful, and appeared to give great satisfaction to a very crowded and very orderly audience. Crry op LONDON.—The performances for the Christ mas holidays commencedou Saturday night with a version of Home's tragedy of " Douglas," Mrs. Manner taking the part of Donylas. Little of the play could be heard front the noise ; and at times the stage was dimmed by a dense mist of dust, caused by a very crowded, and boisterous audience, composed chiefly of errand-boys. After the tragedy there tame the force '• Of Age To-morrow," the principal part, that of Baron Ilarrieburg, being perform , d by Mr. J. Webster, who did it justice. The pantomime, called "He with the Hunchback, or King Dick," alter an interval of more than half ate hour, was then produced. It is a poor tracestee of Shalopeure's " Richard the Third," but was suited to the taste of the audience, whose applause was frequent. QUEEN'S. —Considering the very low price of ad mission to this little theatre, we were rather agreeably surprised to find that the Christmas pantomime, under the title of " Tom Tiddler," was produced with much taste and display in the scenery and dresses, and with clue regard in the dialogue to the capacity and character of the audience likely to witness it. But we have to regret that their de meanour on Saturday night was far from being commensu rate with the spirited exertions of the manager to ammo them. With every wish to make allowance for the festive period of the year, when even the poorest amongst us seek for some source of joyous excitement, we cannot refrain from saying that the conduct of the audience upon that occasion was most disgraceful—marked, ea it was, hy a nproar amount ing to riot, and exclamations which forced upon us the belief • that from a theatrical performance they were incapable of deriving any real pleasure. We hope the day is not far distant when we may have to record better things even of the humblest classes of the metropolis. 'UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS.

TITILLWALL, RECTOR OF ICKLEFORD.—An inquest was held before T. Swoeder, Esq., coroner, at Baldock, on Wednesday, when the following facts were detailed in evidence —Mr. S. Yeasey solicitor, of Bal dock, stated—On Monday the 21st, about ha:if-wt. three o'clock, the Rev. T. W. Thirlwall, who was rector of Ickleford, Herta, called upon me on professional business ; he was with me in conference about an hour; towards the clam of his conversation he became more impatient and irritable in manner than 1 bad previously !mown him. Ills carriage came round, and be was preparing to go; he kept talking fast, and bin utter - are was indistinct ; on a sadden he slipped from his chair, and fell before I could arid him. His nephew was in the roam, and assisted him to a chair. Afterwards, by the desire of the deceased, he was re moved into an armchair; he appeared to me fainting, and in need of stimulant. My servant brought a glass of wine; the deceased per ceived it was sherry ; he mid he should prefer a glass of port; he took one with an apparent relish ; he then appeared to us in a faint state. I wished him to take my close carriage, bat be preferred his own open carriage. Perceiving he dial not get better, I then sent for Mr. Sharpe, his conservation becoming incoherent, and he appeared wandering. Mr. Sharpe came almost immediately. He was about 67 years old."—Me. G. It. Sharpe, surgeon, stated r—l was called in on Monday afternoon last, about tire o'clock; I found deceased attempting to talk, but it was scarcely possible to understand a word he said. I ordered him to bed; he went to bed at Mr. Veasey's : I assisted him up with Mr. Vcasey and his servant. The insensibility and lore of muscular power gradually increased, and, from the full character of the pulse, I deemed it right to bleed him. I then requened Dr. Hicks to be sent for. He came, and then we bled him. Shortly afterwards Dr. Hawkins, his usual medical attendee'', was sent for, and be came; and the bleeding was repeated in Dr. Hawkins' presence, an well as Dr. Hicks'; we applied leeches also. He continued to get worse, and insensibility quickiv increased. I con. *stied in attendance upon him all the time until his death, except about an hour. He died at about a quarter past four on Twiday morning. There was decided paralysis of the left side. He died of apoplexy."—G. H. Hicks, M.D., of Baldock, corroborated the fore- going evidence.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Savuxuar. Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn. THE CHEESEMONGERS' TRAWL—SUSPENSION OF CERTI FICATE FOIL THREE YEARS.—IN HE DANIEL BASELY,— The bankrupt was oppcsed for the assignees by Mr. Cooke, and supported by Mr. hiss, solicitor. The bankrupt carried on the business of a cheesemonger at Bolingbrooke.row, Walworth ; his debts, in the course of two years, amounted to 1,8361. 6s. 5d., and the assets lodged by the official assignee being barely sufficient to cover the expenses of the fiat, and without leaving a single chilling for the creditors. Mr. Cooke stated that the bankrupt was in a similar posi tion in 1843, when his debts were upwards of 10,0001., and the creditors received about 4s. 10d. in the pound. Upon application for his certificate it was suspended for twelve months, chiefly upon the ground of his not having kept a satisfactory cash account. Now he meant to say that the bankrupt should have traded with greater caution, and the more so, as upon his recommencing business, he was 451. worse than nothing. The balance sheet showed that his profits for two years were only 2501. 7s. 4d., while his trade and domestic expenses were 1,2951. 7s. 2., including an item of 130!. 14c. 6d. for schooling for two young children ; and his own wearing apparel, 1055 These were the more prominent points which he had to urge against the bankrupt, who had been guilty of reckless trading, and as such, in a moral point of view at least, must be thereby considered guilty of dishonesty, and therefore deserving the heavy cer sure of the court. The bankrupt stated that be kept four books—a bought book, a day book, a ledger, and a cash-book. For the first twelve or thirteen months after trading, he balanced his books onee every month, but he had not balanced his cash book fir 111 weeks before his present bankruptcy. He offered to make an assignment of his property for the bene fit of his creditors ' but they had not accepted it. He had, since the issue of the fiat, collected debts to the amount of about 751., including some which he stated to his creditors to be " bad," or doubtful ; but which since turned out to be o no d Mr. Kiss urged, for the bankrupt, that his creditors under the former bankruptcy had not charged him with dishonesty, although his certificate was suspended for twelve months, simply upon the ground that his cash-book had not been regularly kept. The Commissioner: The only use of the certificate to this man would be to secure his personal liberty; but not having paid 15s. in the pound under his former bankruptcy, all his future acquired and available property necessarily passes to his creditors.—Mr. Kiss: It can do his creditors no good, your honour, to send him to a prison, and his family to the workhouse.—Mr. Commissioner Gouiburn : No doubt ; but this court must deal with„him according,to)tis good or bad conduct as a trader. Francis Inwell was then called and examined by Mr. Kiss: He stated that the bankrupt took the premises from him in the year 1841, when the trade was good. He then had a lease which he ultimately bought, and he (witness) was paid 2001. for the purchase toward, the close of that year. The years 1845 and 1846 were very bad for the trade, in conse quence of the dearness. The Commissioner, in delivering the judgment of the court, said he was perfectly aware that the refusal to a bankrupt of his fiat must entail upon him certain unplea sant and possibly penal consequences. But the court, in all cases, must look to the protection of the trade and commerce of this great commercial country ; and it was quite clear that nothing could be more mischievous than to permit per sons who had bad previous experience in trade and become bankrupt, and not profit by it, to recommence business and go into the world again. I am bound to say that the bank rupt's conduct was highly blameable, and that it must be punished. The judgment of the court was, that the bank rupt's certificate be suspended for three years, without pro. tection. THE SENATE, TEE PULPIT, AND THE BAL—An insolvent, named Byrne, a teacher of elocution, applied for his interim order, with • view of his being discharged. His debts were abou;sool., and his assets little or nothing.—ln examina tion by Mr. Sturgeon, the insolvent stated that he had not en aged any 'elicitor to prepare his petition, be bad lost memoranda stating his earnings, which had, however, been reduced at the close ef the last year to about 2301., which wen much less than he had been in the habit of receiving duping previous years. By Mr. Johnson, for the detaining creditor: I bad no means of paying, my debts cxc. pt through my professional earnings.-1 see in your schedule that you put down a cre ' ditor for teaching you engineering? Insolvent: Yes. In the cor.rse of the last year I studied engineering, surveying, and levelling, which I had thought, from the promises made to me, would have increased my means, but unfortunately that bill did not then go to parliament. About 201. of my earnings accrued in the last quarter of the last year. The interim order was granted, with directions to the in solvent to furnish before the next hearing a specific account of the sources from which he derived his earnings. iN as Tarrnasame—The bankrupt in this case was described as a " brewer" at Hampstead, better known as a coacamsker, and in relation to his connexion with his relit. tiers, the well-iinown firm at Hyde-park Corner. Several debts were proved in the course of the day, and, upon the part of a creditor now out of town, it was sought to prove his debt upon affidavit, and the more so as it was supposed that such proceeding would give him the choice of assignees. The learned commissioner, however, refused the proof upon affidavit, and the choice was proceeded with. The other cases set down for hearing were disposed of, but they possessed no feature of interest. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER. 28, 1846. - - POLICE.—SArInwAy. MANSION-HOUSE.—Frre AT WlLL.—Anne Wood, a woman who has acquired the power of simulating fits so well as to make medical men believe that she is in the agonies of death, was charged with exercising her ingenuity in Petticoat-lane. A surgeon named Jacobs proved having seen her lying as if in a fit. After some experiments upon her with cold water, vinegar, and strong stimulants, the su rgeon succeeded in restoring her to consciousness, but again she relapsed into fits. Upon being taken to the sta tion-house, the inspector there said that the only phee the poor woman was the union, and witness handed in a shilling to pay for a cab for her. She, however, thought proper to recover suddenly, and the first words she uttered were, " Who's to have the shilling, the officer or me ? " (Laughter.) Every one was astonished at the case with which she recovered apparently from the jaws of death. Brandy and the expectation of the money were the only thinos which seemed to tell upon her di-order.—Gooch, the turaey of the Compter, said that the pi...goner formerly was in the habit of raising a froth about her mouth with soap, and excited the utmost commiitration by her deathlike per formances in the streets.—The prisoner said she was the widow of a policeman, who died five years ago, and that evi r since his death she had no way of supporting her children except by hys:erical and other fits. She was committed for three months. - - • GUILDHALL.—SIX WEEKS AFTER MARILIAOE.—A smartly-attired young woman Entered the court with some hesitation, and begged the advice of Mr. Ald. Johnson, so as to render her youthful lord a more agreeable partner. She stated that her husband had, during the last few weeks, treat, d her in a very cruel manner, far different to that which she expected when she united herself to him. He had become as cruel as he had been kind before marriage. On Christmas-day her mother invited them to her house to dinner, but, from some unknown reason, he refused to go and, not wishing to be disappointed, she went, and left her husband at home. She syent an exceedingly pleasant es ening, and time slipped away faster than she antici pated, for she dirt not reach home until half-past one o'clock. when her husband refused her admittance. To lock her out he had long been anxious, and she, consequently, was obliged t-. return to her parent's hulls, for a ni ; ,ht's shelter. Ald. John sen : Half-pant I o'clock is rather a late hour to stay out to; I would advise you to make up your differences. —Com plainant: That I am afraid is impossible; he won't be friends.—Ald. Johnson: Why, how long have you been married ?— Complainant : Only six weeks, sir; and tired I am of a married life. Can you make him maintain me, Sir? —Ald. Johnson : You had far better live together ; it's shock ing fur such young people to part. Tell your mother to go and see him, and apologise for your being out so late.—Com plainant: He won't see any one connected with my family, Sir.—Ald. Johnson: It's a very unfortunate affair. Mr. Roe (the officer of the court), can you do anything in the matter ? —Mr. Roe said he would do his best.—Ald. Johnson : Very well, then, go and see this gentleman, and try if you cannot make them friends. Tell them to commence the new year well, and they'll not disagree again. This is only a Christmas quarrel.—Complainant left the court, hoping that Mr. Roe would succeed in his difficult mission. CLERKENWELL.—A " Fix."—James Shannon was charged with felony. Police constable 96 0, stated that at midnight he received information that the prisoner who was then in a coffee-shoop in Whit, cross-street. had a bundle tilled with copper money. He entered and took him into custody, when he found on him ten five-shilling packets of coppers, and eighteen shillings in silver. Since wit ness had been in court, he bad heard that a robbery, of money and other property, had been committed in the Hampstead-road, at the residence of Mr. George Haines.—Mr. Greenwood asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything ?--He said that the money was his savings, and it was too bad to put him in a fix for nothing.—Mr. Green wood was about to remand him, when Mr. Haines made his appearance, and on being shown the money, he said he had nu doubt that it was his, adding that during the previous night his premises were broken into, and plundered of con siderable property, and amungst it was a large sum in packets of copper money. The prisoner, on hearing this evidence, looked very much puzzled, and when asked again if he wished to m. ke any remark, he repeated that the money was his own.—Mr. _Haines said that on a future day he should be prepared with further evidence, and the prisoner was remanded. UTTERERB OF RASE Cenn.—Two well-dressed females, named Day and Plummer, and Charles Quin, were charged with uttering base coin. A gentleman named Anthony said that while going along Holborn he saw the prisoners in close conversation, and haviug a strong feeling that they were concocting sonic offence, he watched them, and pre sently perceived the man give each of the females something from a hag with which they walked away. He fol lowed them and noticed each of them go into different shops, such as bakers and tobacconists, and return to the man with their purchases, which, on inquiry, he ascertained had been effected in spurious coin. He followed them about until he had procured the assistance of two police-constables, to whose custody he consigned them. When they were searched, a considerable quantity of counterfeit money of one manufac ture, was found on each of them. They were committed to Newgate for trial. WORSHIP-STREET.—FALSE InemsonmENT.—Ca- Merine Sullivan, a married woman with a fluffily, was charged with uttering a counterfeit shilling.—On Thursday evening she went into the shop of a Mr. Vaughan, in Shore ditch, to purchase a handkerchief, in payment for which she placed a bad shilling upon the counter. The shopkeeper sent for a policeman, and although the prisoner stated that the shilling which she had presented was one which her husband had received amongst his wages, she was sent to the station-house, and there detained during the whole of Christmas-day.—The prisoner said, with an appearance of great anguish, that her heart was almost broken, for she had been locked up and imprisoned away from her husband and children during Christmas-eve and Christ mas-day upon a charge of which she was entirely innocent. Her husband was a mechanic, earning 30s. a week, and was present.—Mr. Broughton, after further inquiry, said there appeared no ground for the charge of knowingly uttering against the prisoner ; and he commented in very strong terms on the injustice and cruelty of locking her up away from her husband and family at such a time, intimating that the parties who had done so had better make her some recompense to avoid future proceedings for wrong imprison ment. The woman was forthwith discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—A SELF-SET Tliap.—J. Macarthy was charged, on his own confession, with being a deserter. One of the E division said the prisoner voluntarily gave himself into custody on Christmas night for having deserted from the 46th regiment —The self-accused, when called upon for his defence, declared that the whole affair was a " lark." He had never deserted; he was too short for a soldier—Mr. Long directed the prisoner to be taken to the Horse Guards, as a description of a deserter exactly answer ing to the person and name of the prisoner appeared in the Police Gazette.—ln a short time the parties returned to court in company of Serjeant Nutt, of the Rifles.—The serjeant said he could swear the prisoner was a man whom he enlisted, not in the 46th, but the 37th Regiment, in September last. —The prisoner strongly denied that he was the man. He would not be admitted into any regiment, as he was under the regulation height.- -The serjeant said a different way of measuring would, perhaps, give the prisoner the trifling height he required to come up to the standard. He was quite positive the prisoner was the man he enlisted for the 37th Regiment. It was pro bable that the prisoner had also enlisted in the 46th, and had deserted or been discharged.—The prisoner said there were two of his shopmates in court with whom he had worked for the last nine months, who could prove that he had never been absent during that period.—Mr. Long said there was no time specified in the paper which gave the particulars of the alleged desertion. 1 f the prisoner were innocent, he must take the usual means to prove himself so, for it was his duty to commit him for trial. MARYLEBONE.—JCVESTILE CONTRIBUTORS TO THE POOR-HON.—Mr. Rawlinson said the sum of ss. had been received for the poor-box, contributed by three little girls. It was requested that the reporters should be made acquainted with the fact. SOUTHWARK.—PROTIBION FOR CHRISTMAS. —Joseph Challoner, barman, and George Clarke, porter. in the ser vice of Mr. Palmer, landlord of the Bull, in the New Dover road, were charged with stealing a hamper, containing a goose, a bottle of wine, a bottle of brandy, a bottle of rum, and a bottle of gin, the property of their employer. On Thursday morning, between five and six o'clock, while a policeman of the M division was on duty in the Dover-road, he saw the prisoner Clarke come out of the Bull with a hamper on his shoulders. The latter was seen to convey the hamper to his own lodgings, near the spot, and the po liceman suspecting the transaction, returned to the public house, and informed the landlord, who came down from his bedroom, of what he had seen. Challoner, the barman, was questioned, and he said that the hamper and its contents be longed to him, and that he gave it to his fellow-prisoner to take to the parcel delivery office, to be sent into Devonshire as a present to his friends. He also said he had paid for the wine and spirits, which belonged to his master's stock, the money for which be placed on a shelf in the bar.—The landlord stated that the prisoner had been in his service only four months, at the commencement of which period he was destitute of clothes and money. That since he had been taken into custody on the present charge, it was found he had en abundance of new clothes, besi d es a sum of money, which he could not have honestly come bp. That he (the landlord) was convinced the wine and spirits found in tke hamper, as above described, had not been paid for by his barman, but that he had stolen them from the cellar ," 1 which he had seeesm.—The prisoners, who asserted their in acceaoe, were remanded. WESTMINSTER—A MILD PVICISHMENT. — James Vaughan and Henry Ilaggar, two privates in the Scotch Fusiner Guards, were charged with the following outrage : Mr. Pewits., the proprietor of the New Star and Crown. Broadway;Westminster, stated that about half-past six en 7 ; Thursday evening a party of seven soldiers, of which the nefindants were two, rushed into his house, and having pro ceeded up-stairs, began knocking the forms about and break ing them, pulled out the grate, broke a table, and made • most tremendous noise. He went up and endeavoured to pacify them, but without effect, end the uproar was con tinued, until, hearing that a picquet was sent for from the nearest barracks, five of the party retreated from the house; the others endeavouring to follow their example. Com plainant was seized by the neck, pushed about, knocked down, kicked whilst on the ground, and struck violently. He could not say which of the dile ndants struck him, but he was certain it was one of the defendants, as they were the only two of the party left. in the house at the time he was so assaulted. Complainant's wife was also struck ei on the breast. With great difficulty the defendants w, re detained until just before the picquet arrived, when Vaughan ; rushed out. None of the party were served with liquur.— A policeman proved meeting Vaughan running from Mr. Powsey 's and taking him back, when Hugger rushed upon • the witness, and struck him two desperate blows in the mouth, which so lacerated it that it was obliged to be strapped up. But for the prompt interference of another constable he might bete been more ill-treated.—Two other t witnesses confirmed the evidence of the assault upon the a constable.—Haggar, in reply to the charge, said that he was a insulted, and merely took his own part; and the other de (cadent said it was a sortof a joke altogether. Haggar called two of the picquet to prove that he had not assaulted the t officer, but they 1. iled in doing so. They said they did not , see hint do it, but, there bring a great crowd collected ; through the riot, would not undertake to say that he did not I assault the officer without their observing it.—A serjeant of ri the regiment said that the defendants had never been tried by the military or at a police court befure.—Mr. Burrell fined Haggar 505., or 21 days; and the other defendant 205., 3 : or 10 days. TIIAMES.—On Saturday morning, very shortly after Mr. Ballantir c had taken his .seat, Captain Harvey Tuckett, whose name has appeared SO often before the public , and whose disputes with the Earl of Cardigan must be in the re- collection of our readers, came to this court, and alter send- r lag his card to the magistrate, requested a private interview, which was at once declined ; but the magistrate at the same time said he should be happy to hear the applicant in open I court, and if be convinced hint that the mention of any , names would be likely to defeat the ends of justice, he ; would not call upon him to enter into full particulars. I Captain Tuckett passed the witness-box, and held a con versation with the magistrate in au under tone in refererice to the intercepted expedition to Ecuador, and the committal of Mr. Sleigh for a violation of the Foreign Equipment and Enlistment Act, and raising soldiers for a foreign power with out license front her Majesty. It was understend that Captain Tuckett was desirous that a warrant should be granted , against an officer of high rank, who some time since put forth a manifesto, and had induced many officers to join the expedition of General Flores, by making false representa tions. Mr. Ballantine doubted whether the facts related by Captain Tuckett would justify him in granting a warrant. against the party in question, and said it appeared that the g.ntleman making the application had rendered himself liable to legal proceedings, and that if a warrant was applied for against him it must be granted. Captain Tuckett wished to convince the magistrate that himself and many other British officers were not aware of the real character of the expedition to Ecuador, or that they were acting illegally when they joined it. He requested his worship to read a variety of documents relating to the transaction, which he placed in his hands. Mr. Ballantine assured the gallant officer that he would read the papers, and ascertain if there were any grounds fur his interference. It appeared to him that all the parties connected with the expedition were liable to be prosecuted. Captain Tuckett said he was not to blame, and that he had been railed as to the real character of the Ecuador crusade. He then retired. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAT EVENING. The transactions in the funds have been on but a narrow scale, as might be expected from the day of the week and the season, but the market has shown much firmness, with an improvement in prices. Consols advanced to 941 to 1, and so left off looking well. Reduced Threes, 941 to I. Three-and a-Quarter per Cents., 96 to 1. Long Annuities, 91. Exchequer Bills, Ss. to 12s. Some of the foreign stocks, more habitually the objects of speculation, and therefore more generally influenced by the state of the market fur home stocks, bore better prices to-day, although the business done in them was of small account.

The small increase in " other securities " may be taken to represent the inactive state of general business, as well as perhaps an indisposition in the bank parlour to enlarge the sphere of action in that direction The returns of the note circulation of the private and joint stock banks of issue in England and Wales for the four weeks ending with the sth Met, show the following results : Private banks, weekly average £4,598,309 Joint stock, weekly average 3,108,422 Togetber 7,786,731 The total fixed issue of the private banks being 4,909,4411., it follows that they wire below the amount 401,13.51.

The share-market wore a steady appearance on Saturday with but slight variations of prices . Birming ham and Oxfords were done et a small advance, and gene rally the upward tendency of the funds imparted more confidence to the dealings. The Dublin railway and share-market closed for the week on Thursday ; the number of transactions was limited. Irish South-Eastern, and Belfast and Ballymenas were in demand and the call for Newry, Warrenpoint, and Rosstrevors was still felt. There was also an advance of Is. per share on the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin line, in conse quence of the proceeding, at the recent meeting in London.

The terms which have been agreed upon are: That the south Devon Company shall take a lease of the line on its completion for a term of seven years, at a rental equal to 4 per rent. on the outlay, not exceeding 130 , 00 a., with half the profits after tho rent and all charges. In consenting to this rent your ditretors did not think it prudent to st ipulate for a longer term than seven years, under the gnu conviction that, at the expiration of that period, the traffic of the district, having been fully developed, would prove more remunerative than the rent now to be given.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.-THE WINDBOIS LINES.- On Saturday afternoon, the 26th December, a meeting of inhabitants was held at ligharn, to consider the merits of these rival schemes, much resembling in character the meeting which had been pre. simply held at Staines. Mr. Drake, one of the solicitors fur the South-Western, gave the following account of its projeet, which he subsequently stated would be embraced in two bills : -The present line was proficient to commence with a junction with the Richmond line, pr seeding thence through Twickenham, by way of Pettit:lm, East ifedfont, and Ashford, to Staines, and thentr by Wray-bury, Horton, and Inteliet, to Windsor. There will be a loop line, leaving the Richmond Railway at the present Barnes station, proveeding by way of Chiswick, Brentford, !Acworth, to near the exercising ground at Hounslow, where it will form a junction with the main line. There wig be a line from Staines, which will noes the Thome. to F:gharn, and thence by way of Totoworth to Sunnitio-hill, Bracknell and Wokingbam, where ft will form a junction with the nuth , rimel line of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Company. From the last-mentioned intended line these will be two brunches ; one of which will extend to Chertsey, and there form a junction with the Chertsey branch of the London and South Western Railway. The other brunch will proceed Iron, a point near Long (Tools, extending, by way of Chobbani and Birley, to the main line of the South Western Railway at Purbright. Ile felt confident , it would be manifest to the meeting that the proposed hors would greatly conduce to the accommodation of the traffic of the neighbourhood of Egham, and the whole of the districts through which they would pans; enabling them to proceed direct to the Waterloo and London-bridges. However MK.Ci1111•1 the promises might be of the Great Western Company, the areommo. dation of being conveyed to London and Waterloo Bridges multi not be afforded by that company to the inhabeants of that extensive dis trict. Mr. Drake concluded by observing that he should he happy to give therneeting any further information Vaicli might IIC required. Ile would merely further observe that he was authorised to Mate that the directors of the South Western Railway Com pany would promise fully to carry out the whole of the pro jected schemes to which he had referred in all their integrity. Alter the meeting had been addressed by scieral gentlemen the fol lowing resolution lir moved and miconeled, and unaninioualy adopted:-" That the scheme of the Windsor, Staines, and South Western Railway Company for affording itilway accommodation to , Egban and the neighbourhood is greatly to be preferred to the line proposed by the Great Western Railway Company." Another remits- Lion, declaring that the inhabitants of Estliam would support the tine contemplated by the South Western, and petitions in its favour toper- Lament, were subsequently agreed to. THE EASTEILN COUNTIES AND NORFOLK have agreed to reduce the charges fur the conveyance of cattle on their lines, and 113 future the fare will bean under :- To London. Beasts. Calves.

NEWCANTLE AND BERWICK. -In consequence of the unfavourable weather, this line will not be opened in February, as woo anticipated; and, it has therefore been thought desirable, In ander to be quite certain of the safety of the works to deter the opening until the end of March, or the beginning of NOItTH-WESTERN.-BRANCII TO JOIN TIIE LANCASTER AND CARLIPI.I%- Lord Morpeth will cut the find sod of a junction from the London and North-Western at Skipton, to join the Lancaoter and Carlisle at Settle. The sod will be turned at Ctentop (about the middle of the line) on the 30th. LEEDS AND THIRSK. -A public meeting wan held in Durham on Wednesday last, the Mayor in the chair-to re dive a deputation from the Leeds and '1 hick line, and to submit their plans for the extension of their line to Newcastle, for which they intend going to Parliament for, during the ensuing session. The deputation consisted of Mr. H. C. Marshall, chairman of the company, Mr. Cash, Mr. Neil, and Mr. Benyon, three of the directors; slr. Bruce, the engineer, and Mr. Eddiston, the solicitor. Mr. Marshall said they had waited upon the Chapter, when the venerable .%rchtleacon Thorp stated that it was the intention of the Chapter to give the undertaking their sanction and support. Itesolutions were adopted by the meeting in favour of the Leeds and Think extension to Newcastle, and plcdg. log the meeting to support the company in their project. GREAT LEXEMBOURO.-Our Brussels correspondent writes ;Dec. 22) to the following effect :-" This morning I visited the slot, outside the Porte Leopold, in which the workmen are employed in preparing the ground for the site of the station of the above line, the shareholders of which are almost exclusively English. 1 found a , considerable number of men at work, but it was with considerable 14414a1ij 7i 144 24 ad.

It appears, from all accounts, that the directors of the line are extremely anxious to carry out the recommendations of the government and of the legislature, with nepect to the seedy employment of a portion of the distreAsed labouring pop tt of this country, and to prose...ate the undertaking with They aceonling(y set a number of men to work on the ground which they had finally purchased, hoping that the liberal offers which had been made by them to the landed praprie. tors in the immediate vicinity of this city would be accepted without compelling the company (who prefer settling the question a 1' ainotble) to take pmeeedings fur libtaining the forced erpropria. lion of the land required. The projected line will run from the swim' through the commune of Ettt•rirrek and Iscellcs, towards Borts fort, near which place it will traverse, as stated in a abort paragraph forwarded to the paity,Vea's yesterday, a portion of government or national property. The right to cross this territory is guaranteed by the Minister of Public Works, wad I ant happy to add that Mr. Ver- Waegen :the well-known leader of the liberal, or rather the radical party in the Chamber of representatives), has in the handsomest manner, and on liberal terms, offered to the company to allow them to pan through a portion of his property in that direct! at. It were well if his patriotic example were speedily followed by other lk , lgiana. The landholders on the tract between the site of the propose - 4i sta tion and the property of the state and of Mr. Verhacgen, already alluded to, can be compelled to give up their land to the company on the terms which may be fixed by an envier ; therefore there Le no danger of the works being deferred for any lengthened period. Meantime, labourers can be employed on that tract which belongs to the state and to Mr. Verhaegen. It is proitible that a few weeks will elapse before matter' , are finally settled with the landholders in the immediate vicinity of Brussels. The corps de ;Knots el rhos:refs (the state engineers), has also caused franc delay, by not returning certain plans eo soon as it ought to have done, anti the illness of the blinisterof Public Work. has also somewhat retarded the active prosecution of the enterprise. I have reason, however, to betleve that in a few weeks all will be well again, and that once the interested opposition of the landholders, near this city I. got over (the only real ulty throughout :he entire some thousands of labourers will be constantly employed, to the great happiness of very numerous families, and to the aatisittetion of many commoner, who are unable to support their able-belied poor.
