AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The "Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the soc i al considerations in volved in " the amount of death and d ise ase caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they hi eluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying - the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening, the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its afects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being are contained in Dr. LAWERT'S " SELF-PRESE RVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and Physical Debility, of which the 90th Edition has just been published by Mann and Co., 39.

Servin Goveredaent : "EitlNcE MICHAEL TO FALL ETJS,SELL. " Belgrade, June 29 (July 9), 1862. " My Lord,—The Government of her Majesty the Queen is aware of the violence and aggression of which the Servian people have recently been the victim. At a time when my officials were making every possible effort to maintain orcler and ensure the public tranquillity, a bombardment, without example in history, in defiance of ali laws human and Divine, without any warning, without oven any motive, as has been agreed by the consular body, threw terror into the population, and trans formed the capital of my country, the centre of the commerce and wealth of all Skasvia, into a decricd and ruined town. The fruit of so much labour, the fortunes of thousands of families have bean de stroyed and lost; a city hitherto prosperous has been driven backwards 20 years, and God alone knows how and when it will be possible to repair this great ev il which has conic upon us in the midst of profound peace, when, and under the guarantee of the European powers, we thought ourselves in " True, my lord, to all the laws of good faith, I did not hesitate to repress thenatural enthusiasm of my people for their brethren of the Herzegovina and of Bosnia, and even to make sacrifices trying to my feelings (douloureux a mon occur) with the sole object of failing in no respect in my duty of loyalty to the suzerain, and of preventing ulterior complications and disasters. perofenettbseecfirtihtyu treaties PR1CN..........4d. STAMPED ....sd. last brigand shot, the Isst eactionn i driven from the coun t ry. N apoleon bit' his lips but there was nothing f or hi m to do but swallow' and grin, when lo! now forward comes Garibaldi, and in his train revolution and M azz i ni, the Red' Republic and Heaven knows what b. sides ; and, if that were not enough : the craven Italian Govern ment sues for mercy, and hurries to the throne of its mighty ally, urging that the big child, Italy, i s calling out for the moon; that the moon it must have, or it will smash all the windows and set fire to the curtains ! " Hoe erat in roll's" Napoleon may say. " The nurse has lost all control upon the fractious child ; a schoolmaster and ferule must be provided for it. The Italian Government are no longer masters of the situation. The work for which they have showed themselves unfit must be done for them." It is well, I think, that not only Italy, but Europe also, should look seriously upon the pre sent state of affairs in Italy. Napoleon, I always believed, meditated the occupation of Southern Italy, and is now very near the accomplishment of his long-cherished design. Should the present crisis pass without any such catastrophe, Italy will be safe to all eternity. If the child can go unscathed through the Garibaldi fever, as it has gat over the brigand measloa, and ao rattily othpr infnnfirn com plaints, his chances of full growth are the very best. The rumour of Garibaldi's landing in Calabria is again gaining ground to-day with sufficient consis tency. The supreme moment has come. Dio pro tegga l' Italia !" " In acting thus, my lord, I was very far from thinkiug that the ruin of the town of Belgrade and the lamentable consequences which result from it, would be the recompense of such conduct, " I beg your lordship to judge yourself whether it is possible for Servia to resign herself to so des perate a:fate. Can the Government of her Ma jesty the Queen leave the country a prey to con tinual terror, at the mercy of the most simple accident, or even of pure chance ? Can it, above all, undo the work of humanity and civilisa tion which it has, up to the present time, in com mon with other powers, guaranteed and encouraged in Servia ? A letter from Turin, dated August 17, says : I have told you that a priest and pretended dema gogue was arrested in Naples ; that a letter directed to Cardinal Antonelli was found upon him, and that he attempted to commit suicide in prison. I now send you the letter : " Eminentissinao Signor Cardinale,—lt is of little importance to the happy issue of the business I propose to you, in the interest of the church of Italy, that I should set forth the motives which have determined me to use the very great influence I pos sess in the party of action for the purpose of making that party the unconscious instrument of a crisis which will carry us once more into the ways of right and order, to be re-established on the bases traced by the treaty of Villafranca. Briefly, then, to arrive at these results, the only ones which can reconcile the interests of the present situation with the past, and those of the Church with the exi gences of progressive civilisation, I proceed to lay my plan before your Eminence, telling you frankly that if it be not speedily accepted religion and the country will be lost together. It is expedient to stimulate republican passions against Piedmontism. A revolution in this sense is ripe in Naples. Let "1 should fear to trespass too long on your at tention, my lord, in submitting to your considera tion all that I have to say on this important subject. The government of her Majesty the Queen also, is acquainted with my claims. I confine myself, there fore, here to a special appeal to the kindness of your lordship in favour of my just complaints, and to a prayer, through your mediation, to the government of her Majesty not to leave Servia in this extreme danger without her powerful assistance. The secarity, the peace, and the happiness of a million inhabi tants depend for their safety upon the arrangements that the government of Great Britain is called upon to make, in common with the Sublime Porte and the guaranteeing powers, for preserving Servia and the general peace of the Ottoman Empire from such catastrophes. " In earnestly begging your lordship to give your powerful support to the cause of my country, I pray you, &c., the friends of the past make a show of supporting it energetically. It is expedient to let the revolu tionary torrent widen and overflow in the act of laying hands on the French ; this will frighten Na poleon, and he will be forced to change his policy, and resolve in earnest that the treaty of Villafranca shall be a reality. The mode of applying the condi tions of that treaty to the exigencies of the present time, and according to the modified situation of the several Italian States, will be matter for future dis cussion; for the present, what is necessary is to give a helping hand to the disorder which is to bring back order. (Signed) " M. W. OBRENOVITSCII." "EARL RUSSELL TO PRINCE MICIIAL OBRENOVITSCH. " Foreign Of July 23, 18G2. "Prince,—The government of her Majesty the Queen have heard with great concern the events which have taken place at Belgrade. " It appears that an attack was made by the Ser vians on the gates of the town, occupied by the Turks in virtue of ancient usage and recent treaties, especially the Treaty of Paris of 1856. " Two of these gates having been carried by as sault, the consuls persuaded the Turks to evacuate the remaining two, in all four gates. But no sooner had the Turkish residents left their houses than those houses were plundered by a disorderly mob. " For the pillage and disorder no redress was offered by the Servian authorities, and the next morning muskets were fired at the garrison in the citadel. Furthermore, it were well that your Eminence should clearly understand that Venetia must be go verned separately by an archduke ; that it will be expedient to adopt a system sincerely federal and constitutional, of which Rome will be the centre, and to reform the discipline of the church through the prompt convocation of an ecumenic council. If your Eminence will confide in me I will guarantee to give you here complete revolution. Ido not wish to be in direct communication with any of the par tisans of King Francis ; it is enough that they be instructed that when the moment of action is come they are to supply the aid of persons who shall not excite suspicion amongst my partisans. Here those blessed Bourbonist committees make very gross blunders, and squander so much money to no pur pose. "Upon this occurrence the Pacha took the alarm, and, unadvisedlyand, as it appears to her Majesty's Government, unjustifiably, bombarded the town at intervals for four hours. " It is no wonder that peaceable inhabitants were seized with panic and left the town. " But so far as her Majesty's Government are informed, these lamentable events had their origin in the violation by the Servians of the relations established between the Sublime Porte and Servia. " Your Highness assumes merit for not having joined in the insurrection of the Herzegovina. Your Highness deserves the credit of having in that respect shown regard to the obligations of good faith. " If your Highness will, in the same spirit, con form to the duties imposed upon you by European treaties, her Majesty's Government will most will ingly use their influence with the Sublime Porte for the improvement of the condition of a million of Servians, in whose welfare her Majesty the Queen takes a deep interest. Your Eminence may write to me under the ad- dress—Signor Giovanni Feretti, Post-office, Naples. We shall then arrange whether it will be convenient that you should send, or make known to me here, a person fully in your confidence and mine, through whom the affair may be best carried on. In my next I will tell you where are the revolu tionary committees of Rome, Velletri, Albano, Viterbo, and of whom they consist. Trust for trust. Not to lose time, and that I may have a proof that this offer of mine is taken into consideration, your Eminence will send me to the above address in such a way as shall seem to you safest and most conve nient, a sum the amount of which I leave to your discretion, the same being necessary to put in motion forthwith the forces which are to produce that crisis through which alone this cursedly tangled skein can be unravelled. You may send the money in notes of the Roman bank, by sea post, or through some banker of Rome, taking care, however, that in sending it the name of your Eminence shall in nowise appear. ' , But so long as ill-intentioned persons aro allowed to draw your Highness into measures of defiance and violence, in open violation and con tempt of solemn treaties, it is impossible that her Majesty's Government can ask the Sultan to give to his enemies means for assailing the security of his empire. I am, &c., (Signed) 4, RUSSELL." Kissing your sacred purple I declare myself your most devoted, GIOVANNI FERETTI. You shall know my real name presently. As the writer of this letter spent a part of his wicked life in London, you may like to know more of the man than you will find in any of the Italian journals. I therefore send you an outline of his biography. He is a native of Valle, near Belluno, and his real name is De Col. He studied at Padua, and was ordained a priest in 1846, so that his age is not yet 40. In the commotions of 1848-9 he appeared a warm patriot. When the fortunes of Italy fell at Novara he re mained with the emigrants in Piedmont, and WAS always found among th e mo s t ar d en t of them, some of whom afterwards unmasked themselves as agCuts of Austria. One of th ese was Perego, at present director of the Official Gazette of Verona. When Massimo d'Azegio began to weed the emigre_ tion, De Col started for London, went over to the Church of England, and got a good deal of m oney out of the Protestant clergy men, who thought they had done a fine thing in converting this pi ous priest ; but when his dissolute life be came known to them they closed their purses. H e th en left England, and went with an Austrian passport direct to Rome, where he pres en t e d hi mself to the Pope, declaring himself deeply penitent, and ready , to servo the good cause with the utmost zeal. Fur nished with recommendations from the Pope he re turned to Belluno, where, to the astonishment of everybody, he was not molested in any way what ever. But the second part of his life was not more edifying than the first, and having broken the do • mestic peace of some families, he was shut up for a while by the police in the lunatic asylum at San Servolo in Venetia. Afterwards, on the approach of the war of 1859, the police let him out, and its subordinates were ordered to allow him to speak freely, under the pretence that he was insane, but in reality, for the purpose of using him as a docoy, and discovering the plans of the liberals through his instrumentality. He moved about in Lombardy and the Emilia, always consorting with the extreme liberals, and especially with the emigrant s , and finally he went to Naples, where he pursued the same system up to the day of his arrest. 211 E NETV VENEZUELAN LOA.Z‘ With reference to the new Venezuelan Loan, the following resolution was adopted yesterday by the Committee of the Stock Exchange : " Resolved—" That the considerati on of the ap pointment of a settling day for the Venezuela scrip be deferred until the formal ratification of the loan has been received by the contractors." I n arriving at this determination, the committee ' ap p e ar to have been guided chiefly by Rule 57 of 1 Which pr ov id es as f o ll ows : the, The e ck E com x m c i h tt a e n e g W e , ill not sanction, nor take cog nisance of, bargains made in new bonds, stock, or other securities, issued by any foreign Govern ment that has not duly paid the dividends on former loans raised in this country, unless such Government shall have effected and carried out a satisfactory arrangement with the holders of such stock, bonds, or other securities, on which the divi dends have been left in arrear." The words which we have marked in italics have a bearing upon the present ease, inasmuch as, though Venezuela has " effected" an arrangement with her creditors, she has not yet " carried it out." Regard has also probably been had by the committee to the subjoined clause, which, with a caution characteristic of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., was attached to the prospectus of the loan : "It is understood that no part of the proceeds of this loan will become payable to the Government of Venezuela until her Majesty's C o nsul-General, if he consents to act, and the agent of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. shall have satisfied themselves of the validity of the proposed mortgage of 55 p er cent. of the customs revenues of La Guayra and emr o repaid e va lt s si i d Puerto C a b e ll o ; an d t h a t the money to be used f or the purposes of th e Government will w b il e l s ufficnto effect the obj ec t s for which the loan is raised ; and should, on examination , their decision be un favourable in these respec t, e e t e s a, instalment naellelelendg and allbagements With paid regard in by tot hsinsblsocarni willr subscribers be to them without any deduction, and Without any further liability on the part of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co." is o much inconvenience will be occasioned, how ever, through holding in abeyance the numerous transactions which have taken place in the scrip in the Stock Exchange, that it is said a number of the members intend to address the committee, with a view to inducing theta to reconsider their strict decision.

DIARTIN PRATT, Se:retary, London, Aug. 1, 1862. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING, WEDNESDAY. The second day, as usual at this meeting, was marked by an increased attendance—the Ebor Handicap being the attraction, although for the nonce denuded of the interest generally given to it by the speculative spirit of a York shireman. In the morning scarcely a bet was laid on that event, and men in the habit of staying in the subscription room until thoy Sr. the raoooouree attonded the sales con ducted by the Messrs. Tattersall and Mr. Johnson. There Sir Tatton Sykes's yearlings were disposed of at an average of 121 guineas for 15 which were sold, and Sir C. Monk's five brood mares at an average of 454 guineas. After the first of the nine races on the card had been run, the objec tion laic: against Caller Ou was heard by the stewards, after some very conflicting evidence, decided against the mare. Cerintha beat Pratique in a canter, and two 'Splen did races followed. The Ebor was run just as our parcel left, when loud cheers followed the victory of the Earl of Glasgow. The Rawcliffe Stakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added ; for 2-yr-old colts, Bst 101 b ; and fillies, Bst 71b, with 31b and 51b allowed ; winners extra.

The non-favourate made play, with Pratique next the rails; and the favourite on his whip hand, to the distance, whon ho dropped back; and Cerintha, with Pratique in close attendance, came on together to the enclosure, when Cerintha drew away, and won in a canter by four lengths; six lengths separating the second and third.

Betting -2 to 1 agst Zora, 9to 2 each agst Redpole and Cellarius, 8 to 1 each agst Grimston and Southport, and 100 to 8 agst Bernice. Through the fractiousness of Staple Oak, who repeatedly broke away, the start was delayed some time. When the flag was lowered Bernice, in company with Cellarius, next the rails, made play, closely followed by Southport, Red pole, and the favourite, the latter lying in the centre until fairly round the bend, when Bernice was headed by Cella rius, who, with Southport on the Stand side, came on in advance to half-way in the distance, when Redpola took the command, waited upon by Zora, Bernice, Bob, and Cellarius to the enclosure, when Fordham made his effort to get up, but failed, and was beaten rafter a fine finish by a head, two lengths separating the second and third, Ber nice was fourth, Cellarius fifth, Grimston sixth, and Staple Oak next.

The latter, in company with Fontenoy and Princess' _ _ Louisa, lay in front throughout, but on reaching the enclo. _ _ sure the three closed, and ran locked together to the end, Escape just winning on the post by a head, a neck only dividing the second and third.

Immediately after the flag was lowered Dulcibella rushed to the front, The Drake, with Fitz Eva at his side, follow ing next. Then came Q. E. D., the Makeless filly, Alan Rufus, the Monk, Conundrum, and Pembroke in a body,tho last of all being the heavy weight, Cape Flyaway. In this order they ran to the front, where Alan Rufus dropped into the rear, and Cape Flyaway began to draw towards the ruck. On their fairly rounding the plantation turn Dulci bella was headed by The Drake, who came on with a clear lead to the Middlethorpe corner, where Lord Stamford's mare was disposed of, and was speedily seen in the rear, fol loWed in a few strides by The Drake, the lead being left with Q. E. D., who, with Fitz Eva, the Makeless filly, and Conundrum, came on in front to the distance, where they were joined by Cape Flyaway, the quartette running close together to the enclosure, where the Makeless filly got her head in front, and won an excellent race by a neck ; a length and a half between the second and third ; Q. E. D. was fourth, three lengths in their rear, Conundrum fifth, King of Kars sixth, and Pembroke next.

Betting -5 to 4 agst Orange Girl, sto 2 agst Le Marechal, 7 to 1 apt King of Utopia, 10 to 1 agst Tease-me-not, 15 to 1 agst Michael Scott. An excellent start was effected at the first attempt. King of Utopia, next the rails, was the first off, and came on with the running, followed by Michael Scott, Cheerful, Marechal, and Orange Girl in a body to the distance, where Michael Scott was disposed of, and Cheerful fol lowed the leader to the enclosure. He was there beaten, and tha Frenchman, in company with Orange Girl and Stampede, joined the front, but never had a chance to reach Mr. Whittaker's colt, who won easily by two lengths. Two lengths between the second and third. Stampede was a bad fourth, Cheerful fifth, Newmarket sixth, Tease-me- Not the next, the last being Belle, of Yorkshire. After Orange Girl had passed the post, Alderoft's stirrup broke, and he fell to the ground, without sustaining any injury; but as he did not return to weigh Stampede was placed third, and Orange Girl nowhere.

RAILWAY IN7ELLIGENCE. ---o-- LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held ai Manchester yesterday. Mr. H. W. Wickham, M.P., pre sided. A dividend at the rate of 31 per cent, per annum on the ordinary stock was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then moved that the meeting, deeply sympathising with the sufferings into which the operatives had been plunged, authorised the directors to set aside a sum of £5,000 towards their relief. The motion was carried on a show of hands without oppo sition. GREAT SOUTHERN. AND WESTERN. The half•yearly meeting: company was hold on Saturday, in Dublin, Mr. llaughtcn in the chair, A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was de clared for the past half-year on the ordinary stock of the company, and at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the preference shares. FRANCE AND ITALY. (From the Correspo;clePt of the Times.) TURIN, AUG. 17. In the last letter I wrote on the subject of the Garibaldian movement I expressed my disbelief of a rumour, which was widely spread here, that the guerilla chief had crossed the Strait and landed on the Calabrian coast. That report has since been pbsitively contradicted, but it is now as stoutly asserted that many of the Garibaldian partisans are already in Calabria, doing their utmost to stir up the spirits of that extremely inflammable popula tion, so as to secure an easy and triumphant pro gress to their chief whenever he may choose to ven ture across the narrow channel. That Garibaldi, if he is so minded, will succeed in crossing from the Sicilian to the Calabrian coast, eluding the cruisers now plying between Scylla and Charybdis, is mat ter about which no man can entertain the slightest doubt. A large force might not go over unobserved, but a fisherman's boat, conveying " Cresar and his fortunes" will smuggle through at any hour of the day or night; and what effect Garibaldi's presence may have in that kingdom of Naples, which since his first rapid march through it has been the source of all troubles, dangers, and calamities for the pen insula, no one can venture to conjecture, for it is really something too awful to contemplate. We are told here that a foreign Government advised the King's Ministers in Turin to seize the American ves sels which are lingering off the coast of Sicily with the obvious intention of wafting Garibaldi over to the mainland. M. Ratazzi and his colleagues, it is said, declined to follow this wholesome piece of ad vice, lest they should "get into a scrape with the United States' Government." The fact is, how ever, that the Turin Government are loth to come to close quarters with Garibaldi, and their scruples and hesitations greatly contribute to keep up the suspicion of their having all this while and from the beginning connived at Garibaldi's enterprise, and been in their heart of hearts privy to it. Such a policy would, indeed, be not only too unprin cipled, but what is held to be worse among states men, too unwise and improvident to be believed of any man or set of men in their senses Somehow or other, however, few persons give the Ratazzi Cabinet credit for plain dealing and upwright con duct. Ratazzi is thought "to love a crooked path even when a straight one would bring him sooner and safer to his goal." He has a lawyer's soul, and his Government is looked upon as a thorough lawyer's Government. His cry of " wolf!" has too often vainly alarmed the neighbourhood. He may be speaking the truth this time, but " there are men so sharp and cunning as to be.able to turn truth itself into an instrument of deception." Those who are more merciful in their judgment of the acts of the Ratazzi Government, incline to think that the Premier's hands are perfectly clear of any contact with Garibaldi, hardly do the Mi nister a better service by spreading about that ".he tries to make political capital of that mad Sicilian attempt," and that " notes are being sent to all foreign Cabinets, warning them that there never can be peace in Italy, that no orderly Government can ever be established in this country, till the nation gets possession of its natural capital on the Seven Hills. This, as I before informed you, was ,said to be the main purpose of the Marquis Pepoli's journey to Paris. The Ministerial press here has been very loud in its denial of such a mis sion ; somehow, however, it has succeeded in per suading no man—it has failed to hush up the report. It is perfectly absurd, perfectly childish, in my opinion to say that a State Minister on his visit to a foreign Court is charged with no mission. He may not have special instructions and credentials, but he can see foreign Sovereigns and their coun sellors without talking over matters of vital inte rest with them, if any such matters be pending, and thereby he will discharge the duty of a diplomatic negotiator, whether he bears the title or not. The Marquis Pepoli must needs discuss Garibaldi and the Roman question with the Emperor, with Prince Napoleon, with M. Thouvenel. Possibly he may make no great headway either in convincing them or conciliating their good will, but, wherever he goes, the member of a Cabinet brings the whole Ministry, the King and State, along with him ; and if the man had any ability, and Napoleon 111. were to be won over by fair words, no doubt the Minister of Agriculture would do duty as an Am bassador, and, were he successful, his alleged mis sion would not be so loudly disavowed. The real fact is, however, that the moment is not favourable to press the French Emperor about the solution of the Roman question. The Ratazzi .Cabinet are the very last set of men who ought to insist upon the matter, as they came into power by the good will and support of the French monarch, who was partial to them simply because they had set themselves against Ricasoli's importu nity concerning this same Roman question, and had pledged themselves, on their attaining power, to let it sleep for an indefinite length of time, to let it die away altogether, and to call the attention of the Italians away from it. " What !" the Emperor may say, "you, too,—you, of all men, come to plague me about the Italians and their capital ? You have scarcely been three months in office, and already you come upon me with the old cry of the dead Count and the fallen Baron, and threaten me with Garibaldi, with anarchy and civil war, unless I do precisely what I cannot do, and what I have deter mined not to do. Beware that argument abou the impossibility of keeping Italy quiet withou Rome for a capital cuts two ways. You have only to show the least disposition to give in; you have only to repeat that you cannot answer for order in Italy and peace in Europe, and what you confess yourselves unable to do others will manage in your stead. I have forborne from interference in Italian matters ; I have secured non-intervention in your behalf. This, however, could go on so long as it might be done consistently with the public peace and the cause of legality and humanity ; but if you find your scheme of unification im- practicable, if Garibaldi is to be allowed to run riot in Sicily, if Naples is suffered to break asunder from the monarchy of Victor Emmanuel, your position is no longer tenable, your ter ritory no longer inviolable, and I must step in for the sake of order in Naples in 1862, on the same principle and for the same purpose as I did in Rome in 1849. It is matter of life or death for the Italian Government to be able to retain the mastery of the situation ; were they to be even for one moment overpowered, others must step into their place." These words, or words to this effect, have been clearly conveyed to the Ratazzi Ministry, and they certainly supply matter for grave considera tion, Instead of being induced to withdraw his troops from Rome, Napoleon is very much inclined, should Garibaldian success and rampant anarchy afford him a pretext, to extend his occ upation over the whole or part of the Neap olitanupation pro vinces. I have been, you know, suspicious enough to think and to say that such was all the time the Emperor's drift. Resolved upon thwarting the scheme of the Italians for national unity, he threw obstacles in the wa y of Neapolitan annex ation by the attitude of the French fleet at Gaeta, by his endurance of Francis 11. and the behaviour of the French troops at Rome, by his all but open encouragement to Bourbonist bri gandage for the last two years, All these contri vances did not lend to the desired effect. An nexation was voted, the union consummated, and all efforts to break it were unavailing. The Nea politans are a vain, indocile, unreasonable set. The administration of the South is clumsy and inefficient; the brigand s are t rou bl esome ; or d er is menaced, the union imperilled ; but still order is maintained, the union continues, the country keeps together. No plausible reason is given for inter ference. Indeed, matters mend apace, and people begin to look forward to the chance of seeing the DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA. Tho report of the directors states that the total tilde receipts for 'the past half-year, ending the 30th of Jun', amount to £12,565, against £44,387 for the corresponding half of 1861, showing a decrease of £1,817. The directors recommend a dividend of 375. 6d. on each £75 share, and 12s. Gd. on each £25 share, being at the rate of 5 per coal. per annum, leaving a balance of £792 for the reserve fun!. There is a diminution of passenger receipts amounting o £2,102 compared with the corresponding half of 186., which is attributed to the unsettled state of the weather and the depression in trade and agriculture, combined wih the influence of the International Exhibition, in attractirg pleasure traffic from Ireland. The Kells and Oldeastle ex tension will be ready for traffic about the middle of Oct►- ber next. CORK AND KINSALE JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yel terday at the office, Gracechurch-street—Lord Kinsale_n the chair. The report, which was agreed to, stated that the direc tors regretted they were not yet in a position to annource the completion of the railway for traffic. Tho disappoint ment had arisen from the contractors not having earned out their written engagement, by which they undertook to complete the railway before the Ist of July laat. For this breach of agreement the contractors had rendered them selves liable for the penalties set forth in the contract deed, The directors had now every confidence that the line would be opened within two and a half mil es o f Ki ns ale i n th e course of nest month, and that the remaining portion into the permanent terminus of the town of Kinsale would be completed and opened for traffic before the end of the year. SEVERN VALLEY. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, Victoria -street, Westminster—Mr, J. Parson in the chair. A dividend at the rate of 41 per cent, per annum for live months ending the 30th of Juno last was declared on the preference shares, and at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum for the same period on the ordinary stock of the company. GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday, at the offices, Great George-street, Westminster— Mr. P. Pavey in the chair. The revenue account showed a net profit of £2,664, out of which the directors recom mended dividends of 5 per cent. premium on each class of preference shares, and of 2 per cent. zremium on the ordi nary shares, leaving a balance r.c . £24. The report was adootncl_ NEW BRUNSWICK AND CANADA. The report of the directors states that the railway was opened on the 10th July last to the Woodstock terminus, a total distance of 88 miles, The capital account shows that £407,771 had been expended, leaving a balance against the company of £18,169. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 30th of June shows that £2,119 had been received, and £1,974 expended, leaving a balance of £172. ILLINOIS CENIRAL.

With smoking, and steaming, and smother, Packing and snacking and crack, All go off smewhero or other, Too often to wish themselves back. Members their mansions forsaking, Rejoiced that its "up" with the House, Are down to the moors to be taking An aim (not in vain) at the grouse.
