Norton (who officiated for Mr. Yardley),and applied for a summons against police-Constable 104 H, for assaulting his son, a boy aged 14. The Hon. Mr. Norton—The usual course is, when a police-constable commits an offence, to make application at the station-house, and the superintendent then orders the constable to attend before a magistrate. Weddle, the second usher of the court, said it was the custom for the Magistrate of the Thames Police Court to grant summonses in the ordinary form in cases of this nature. The Hon. Mr. Norton—Very well, then, I will hear the application. A boy then got into the witness-bog, and said he was passing out of the Tower with some guns on Monday. An other boy was with him. It was necessary to produce a pass for all goods taken out of the Tower. The boy who preceded him had a pass, and on a police-constable, 104 H, asking him for one, he pointed to the other boy, and said he had the written pass. The policeman then called him a little humbug, struck him on the cheek, and kn ocked him down. He fell upon the guns and was much hurt. The Hon. Mr. Norton—Take your summons. The father of the boy said he did not know the name of the police-constable. Police -sergeant Egerton, No. 29 H, said that Mr. Steed, th e s uperintendent of the, division, would furnish the name of the alleged offender. FLAGRANT OUTRAGE BY Two CAB-DRIVERS.-..Thos. Bartrarn and Andrew Smith, cab-drivers, were brought before the Hon. G. C. Norton, charged with assaulting Mary Eamden and Harriet Davis, women of the town, and George Jones, a labourer. It appeared that the two women were parting at the corner of North-street, Jubilee-street, Stepney, at two o'clock this morning, when the prisoners rudely pushed against them, and, on being expostulated with, Smith kicked the woman Davis, who was far advanced in pregnancy. Eamden went to the protection of her friend, and was beaten and kicked by the two ruffians. Jones went to the protec tion of the women, and lie was knocked down, dragged a long the street, and his clothes torn from his person by the prisoners, who made their escape. Police-constable Venables, No. 141 K, said that after the assaults complained of the prisoners committed a violent as sault on a respectable married woman as she was entering a public-house, and knocked one of her teeth out. The Hon. Mr. Norton—Where is she ",Witness —Her husband said he had a situation in the City, and could not lose his time. The Hon. Mr. Norton —His wife ought to have been here. This is a most low and blackguard proceeding. The pri soners are sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard - labour. L.,, 211 e: Right Hon. Henry Labouchere , M.P., am. f r '"Y .

The house in which he resided, and situated at z . s ughes's-fields, in the parish of St. Nicholas, has been order made demolished during the past week by virtue of an made under the Metropolis Buildings Act. As a relic of the past this old building was interesting. The princip al . e c epta7on room contained some exquisite specimens of Wood carving; and another portion of the building, which bad been evidently used as a chapel, was fitted up with a curiously carved pulpit. For some years before the house Was condemned it was occupied by a dust collector , who a llowed a number of goats , of w hich h e i s the owner , to have teadisputed possession of the apartments formerly o ccupied by the Russian Emp eror. ~., r- , LOPEMENT OF A LIVERPO OL LADY WITH AN "NlBus CONDUCTOR.—The gossips of Liverpool were Yesterday (Tuesday) engaged in detailing the facts relative t o the marriage of a young lady, 20 years of age, the b„ a llghter of an eminent medical gentleman residing at Aig- Crib, who recently got married secretly to one of the eon _.;letors of the Aigburth omnibuses. The marriage took p l ace at Everton Church, by licence, during the absence at u e agricultural show at Chester of the master of the con ductor; and on Monday the young lady, finding that her 7itirrhage was known, went to the lodgings of her swain. Oellee she was taken away by some friends, but recognising i' 4 :s husband in the street, she jumped out of the car, and 'used to leave him,. saying that he was the only man she ever loved. Her friends were in consequence obliged to take Was the husband in the car with them, and the lady (who :as considered one of the belles of Aigburth) is now at her v on home, and her spouse is for the present staying at the w hotel at Aigburth kept by his master. The lady , it is said, i ts engaged to a young gentleman of first - rate social p o- Client. THE 'EDINBURGH ANNUITY TAX.—The Edinburgh city clergy are at their old game of procecutinng. Another batelior 50 and has been summoned by the annuity -tax collect° r, and the cases are to be heard on Friday the Gth inst. ' The clergy have not taken warning by the late deci -5,1,011 of Parliament on the question of the princip alshi p s of 'fie universities, and the very narrow majority of one by Which the Annuity-tax Bill was lost, and seem resolved to d efy public , opinion, and to exact the uttermos t farthin g of their gains from those who receive no benefit from their ser vices, and who utterly reject their ministrations. We are glad to know that so many of the citizens refuse to pay this l ost odious itnpost, until, at least, the clergy have s hown t Il .. o the wor ld w hother they most resemble the grasping priest hood of Rome, or the humble and devout minister of God Who is content with the free-will offerings of his people. The prosecution of 50 dissenters for refusing to cont ribute to the 4 E l lll.v:we of a smal.! number of state priests is certainly an extraordinary sight t s ai be witnessed in this summer of 1858. `'Edinburgh Exprese.

J o h n Scott, who was watching, , came up with a p oac h er, name d Vi S am uel Golland, of est Retford, who immedi a t e l y ran o ff. Scott followed in pursuit, and overtook him on a road known as the Green Mill-lane, where Gotland stopped, and after some words, pointed his gun and shot Scott hi the breast, and then rushed at him. While he was doing so Scott knocked him down with a stick. Anderson, another watcher, then came up, and succeeded 1n capturing Gel land, who was subsequently lodged in tine Retford Police station. Scott was put into a gig and conveyed to his home. Two medical gentlemen, Mr. Allison and Mr. Mar shall, were sent for, and on examining the man's wounds, pronounced him to be in a dangerous condition. About 11 o'clock the prisoner was taken to Scott's house, where the Rev. W. B. Simpson, with Mr. T.W.Den man, magistrates' clerk's deputy, attended, and took depositions in the pre sence of the prisoner, who was remanded until Saturday next. A man named Gabbitass was also apprehended the same morning, being supposed to have been iu company with the prisoner at the time of the affray. On Sunday evening ecott was lying in a most precarious state. THIS DAN'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Aug. 25 . —Wind this day at noon, N.W. ; light breeze and fine.

THIS DAYS MARKETS. MARK-LANE. Notwithstanding that the supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's market was very moderate, the demand for most kinds was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, compared with Mon day, very litt l e change took place. The general condition of the samples was good. IYe were again extensively supplied with foreign wheat. Millers generally showed no dispcsition to increase their stocks ; hence the business doing was limited, at about stationary prices. There was a steady consumptive demand for both English and foreign barley, at full. quotations. Malt sold at previous rates, with a fair demand. Prime sound oa ts were in good request, at full prices ; but low and damp parcels moved off slowly, at late rates. Beans, peas and flour sold at Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WIXX. *Wheat.

OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE HON. MAJOR YELVERTON. The Belfast Mercury, after stating the facts of this curious case, enters into an interesting investigation of the points of law likely to be raised during its hearing. As they are not generally known, nor their bearing upon the marriages of Protestants and Roman Catholics properly understood, an extract from this article may prove inte resting : " There have been several cases since the passing of the 32J Geo. 111., cap.2l,in which Roman Catholic priestswere pro secuted for celebrating marriages between Protestants and Roman Catholics, but we are not aware of any case in which such a marriage was held to be null and void. It is not pro bable that such a construction will be put upon the law at the present day. It is right the interests of society should be protected by punishing severely any clergyman who vio lates the law; but it would not be for the interests of so ciety to render snch marriages invalid. We believe the law to be, that it is illegal for any Roman Catholic priest to celebrate marriage between a Protestant and a Roman Catholic, unless the ceremony has previously been celebrated by a Protestant clergyman, but about the validity of such a marriage we think no doubt can be enter tained. The liability of the priest to be prosecuted for an illegal act is one thing, but the validity of the mar riage he celebrates is quite another and an essentially differ ent thing. " There are some cases that bear very strongly on the point upon which Major Yelverton seeks to escape the penalty due to his villany—for let the law be what it may, there can be no second opinion as to the moral enormity of his conduct. In the Queen v. Orgiil, which was an indictment for bigamy, the prisoner pleaded, as we suppose Major Yelverton will plead, that the first marriage was per formed by a Roman Catholic priest, and that he was a Pro l'estant at the time of the marriage, though he held himself out to be a Roman Catholic. Baron Alderson said—' If the prisoner at the time of his marriage held himself out to be a Roman Catholic, I am decidedly of opinion that he cannot now set up his protestation as a defence to this charge ;' and the prisoner was found guilty of bigamy. " That Major Yelverton did, on the occasion of his mar riage hold himself out r , to the Rev. Bernard Mooney and to Miss'L u lworth, as a Roman Catholic, we think admits of no doubt whatever ; and, although he told a lie and acted deceitfully, according to his present declaration, the law, happily, is quite explicit in denying him the privilege of availing himself of his own deceit in answer to a charge of bigamy. He is estopped by his previous admission to the priest, and it is a righteous law that he cannot take advan tage of his own villany. "In delivering judgment in the cases of the Queen v. Millis, and the Queen v. Carroll, Mr. Justice Perrin adopted this view of the law, and enforced it very strongly. He said—' If the parties go before a minister of a particular religion to enter into a marriage contract, and the marriage is solemnised according to the forms of the society to which the minister belongs, if they hold themselves out as mem bers of that society or seat they are concluded.' Neither of them can turn round and repudiate the marriage con tract on the ground that they had acted fraudulently and deceitfully; and, if indicted for subsequent bigamy such a ground of defence will not be admitted. Mr. Justice Perrin continued to say Can it be per mitted to a person who does so—holding out to a woman that he is about to contract matrimony with her—going through the form—having it solemnised—does he not, by that act, more strongly than by express words, declare that he considers that form binding ?—and can it be permitted him to say I did not contract marriage ? True, a solemn ceremony was performed according to the form of an ancient and venerable Church-1 passed myself off as her husband—she thought me honest and sincere—yet as, before that, I had belonged to such a sect—she shall not whi have the protection of the la w ! This is not a question ch ought to be considered as a matter of controversy among any sects, or which should be looked on in the spirit of contro versy. It is a question vital to society. Would it be per mitted to a man who had come forward as a witness, and bad been sworn in the ord inar y for, or sworn as a Cove nanter, and given false testimony, w m hen accused, to say—l was not of that religion when I took thing th, and the so , there fore, I did not commit perjury ? By gothrough lemnity, by adopting the form in that serious that manner,. ills e declares, in terms more strong t han any words, he person who adopts and conforms to the rules and ceremonies of that sect or of that society.' " Were the law otherwise, it would lead to the grossest immoralities, and to immense Injury to society. "A case in point occurred in Dublin a few years ago. The son of a colonel married a servant girl. The marriage was what is called irregular, and was kept secret, but it was valid. He subsequently was married to the daughter of one of the most respected citizens of Dublin. His first mar riage came to light. He was apprehended, tried, convicted, and sentenced, as we remember, to seven or 14 years' trans portation." 99 I His naked and leafless as in December, and the bark is so bruised Mr. Ramsay, of Barnton.

It was the intention of the directors proportion than upon those in better circumstances. to lay down a single line of rails only, but operations are Lord Hertford, who receives an immense annual income on a scale sufficient to accommodate if necessary a double from this estate, will have an opportunity of spending a small line.

No words can give a pe r f e ct idea of this by a mile and a half, leaving the total distance only 41 misfortune, which has been unexampled in the history of miles. This, if passenger traffic from Edinburgh should be this country. established, would render unnecessary the disagreeableness "Being on a visit here from England, and not having of shunting trains back on to the Haymarket Junction. seen a full account of it in any of the local papers, I venture The cuttings present no feature of extraordinary difficulty, to send you this letter, which I would feel obliged by your and it is expected, should the work meet with no unforeseen publishing in your widely-circulated Journal." interruption, that the line will be fully completed by Christ mas twelve mouths. It will run through a fine undulating country, and will skirt the beautiful Corstorphiue Hill on the east, forming, if passenger traffic should be undertaken,- a most pleasant, although certainly somewhat circuitous route to Granton. As regards the capital, the Parliamentary estimate of the cost of the line was £60,000, but the managers have power to raise, in addition to this, the sum of 124,000. The Duke , of Bucolanch, we learn, contributes half the amount of capital.—Scotsman. RAILWAY IN7'ELLIGEACE. LONDON, TILBURY, AND SOUTHEND. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this com pany was held yesterday afternoon at the London T av e rn — Mr. Daniell, the chairma n of directors, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, expressed his regret that this, like most other railways, had telt th e effects of the prevailing depress ion, which had very materially affected the development of traffic on the line. The railway bad not suffered so much as many others, and he was happy to say that the decrease in the receipts, as compared with the corresponding half-year of 1857, was not more than £2Ol. He was also happy to state that during the six weeks follow ing the close of the half-year, the gross traffic receipts were £1,700 more than in the corresponding period of last year. From the Bow to Barking branch opened in March last, he augured the best results, as tending very materially to a development of traffic. Mr. KENNELL read the report, which stated that the re ceipts from the passenger traffic of the line for the half-year ending the 30th of June last, which were payable to other companies, were as nearly as possible as follows, viz.:—Black wall Railway Company, £4,184; Eastern Counties Railway Company, £32,009 ; North London Railway • Company, £439. These sums, added to the amount credited in the revenue account (L 21,7119), would give the gross receipts derived from passenger traffic. After some discussion the report was adopted. NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROSTREVOR. The report of the directors states that the balance - sheet shows £94 to the credit of the revenue account. The di rectors took counsel's opinion upon the agreements with tiae Newry and Enniskillen Company, and were sorry to find it practically adverse to legal proceedings against the com pany under its new designation of " Newry and Armagh Railway," but the directors are nevertheless equally satis fied that, however defective the agreements were in legal formality, they were both prudently devised and honestly consistent with the united interests of the two companies, a conclusion at which the directors believe the Newry and Armagh Company must necessarily arrive before the merits of that railway can be possibly developed. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY. The receipts of the company for the last half year exceed those for the corresponding part of 1857 by the sum of £1,629 Os. 2d., while the working expenses are less than those for the corresponding period by £304 Os. ld., thus leaving an in ci ease of £1,933 Os. 3d. in the profits of the half-year. This result, it is hoped, will prove satisfactory to the shareholders, when they bear in mind that the receipts on many of the railways in the United Kingdom show a considerable falling off, owing to the depressed state of trade. - The net profits of the half-year, after paying working expenses, interest on loans, and dividends on preference shares, amount to £d4,029 15s. 7d. To this is to be added the balance of £3,566 10s. Bd. carried over from the profits of the last half-year, making the amount at present applicable to dividend on the ordinary shares of the company £17,596 6s. 3d. Out of this the directors recommend a dividend of 335. 9d. on each £75 share, and of lls. 3d. on each £25 share, being at the rate of 4-1 per cent. per annum. This dividend will amount to £12,755 Ms. 3d. and will leave a balance of £4,840 109. to be carried to the reserve and reproduction fund. The shareholders will be glad to learn that the arbitration so long pending between the Post-office and this company, relative to the rate of remuneration to be paid to the company for the postal service, has at length been determined. By the award of the umpire the company is to receive £165 per annum more than it has been receiving hitherto. The works on the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway have progressed satisfac torily during the past half-year•. About the end of June 16 miles of the line—viz., from Newbliss to Lisnaskea—were opened for traffic. A further extension was opened on the 14th inst. to Lisbellaw. When the remaining four miles to Enniskillen are completed, there will be an uninterrupted railway communication between Dublin, Enniskillen, and Derry, which cannot fail to bring an accession of traffic to your line. In pursuance of the wish expressed by the share holders at the last general meeting, the directors opposed in Parliament the bill promoted by the Dublin and Meath Company; and though they were advised and felt that they had strong and just grounds for opposition, yet they regret that it was unavailing. It has been found necessary to add a new goods' engine and six waggons to the rolling stock of the company during the past half-year ; the cost of these has been charged to the capital. During the same period one of the old engines has been replaced, the expense of which has been charged to the reproduction fund. A con siderable sum has been expended on the rebuilding as well as on the repairs of carriages and waggons. The whole of this has been included in the current working expenses. RUSSIA AND CHINA. (From the Times.) We suspect that the English public was rather surprised than gratified by the kind offices of the Russian Govern ment in giving us intelligence of what we are doing in the East of Asia. It is good to know that our diplomatic diffi culties are over, and that we may now enter into this land abounding in silk and tea. Our busy men of commerce will immediately set their wits working to organise com mercial expeditions up the Yang-tse. We shall probably soon ascertain whether the short staple cottons of the Chi nese Deltas cannot be adapted to our looms. A strong spirit of enterprise, bridled a little by the recollection of disasters in that quarter now 15 years old, will go forth eastwards. Manchester will shortly have her correspond ents at Wanchau, Sheffield " notions" will have penetrated to Pekin, Nottingham laces will compete at Soochow, and Liverpool will import sugars from Formosa. But commercial and political thinkers will be startled in their calculations by this ugly fact—St. Petersburg, on the 20th of August, had news from the Peiho up to the 27th of June; London has on this 25th day of August no news of its own from the Peiho later than the 4th ofJune. St. Petersburg, therefore, is nearly a month in advance of us—a month nearer to Pekin than we are. In these days,:when intelligenee is money, power, dominion, life, a month is as a thousand years. Fancy the effect of a rupture with Russia being known by Count Putiatin a month before it can be known by Lord Elgin. Fancy the effect even of some crisis in the tea and silk markets being known to the merchants of St. Peters burg a month before it becomes suspected on our Royal Exchange. A politician or a merchant who operates with the odds of a month's early news against him is like a savage with a bow and arrow contending against a prize sergeant fresh from the Hythe School of Musketry ; or like the same sergeant contending against that coming philosopher who is to kill his man at 20 miles distance by the power of con centrated sunbeams. Everything is by comparison. Every thing is according to the station held in the great onward race. The impatient lover who, separated from his mistress, implored Jove to "annihilate all time and space," was thought an unreasonable personage; but nothing short of this will fill the measure of our large desires. If Puck takes 40 minutes to put a girdle round about the earth, Ariel will beat him out of the field if he does it in two throbs of a pulse. When the Sirius, 30 years since, steamed into New York harbour all the city turned out to see her, and the excite ment was tremendous; a month hence any Liverpool broker who should remain ignorant of the price of cotton till he got it by means of a steamship would be placed in a private lunatic asylum. We must go on, on, on. We have proved that we can annihilate space and time, and, having di vulged the secret of our capacity, the inexorable necessities of competition seize upon us, and insist upon our working up to the full pressure of our power. We have been beaten by a month. It is not very easy to say how this has happened. How can it be that news can speed more quickly by relays of horses than by steam and electric wires ? ow is it that the passage of intelligence to St. Petersburg is so prompt ? We know the Russians have an establishment at Pekin; but it is of a religious and educational, rather than of a diplomatic character. It was, we believe, never suspected that .a high road and a chain of posts existed between the two distant capitals, or that con stant communications are kept up between the Pekin Col lege and the Cabinet of the Czar. Some time ago we were given some cause for conjecture by a passage in a Pekin Gazette, which informed us that an Embassy, sent to con dole with the Russian Court on the death of the Emperor Nicholas, had just returned ; but that information did not necessarily imply smooth roads and easy intercourse. Here we have an instance of 6,000 miles traversed in 50 days. We will assume that the despatch arrived at Pekin in thenr of a telegram, and that Moscow was th e nearest poi to which it was carried. It is still rapid work. It is not that 10 miles an hour for 12 hours a-day, or five miles an hour for 24 hours a-day, are very fast work for Tartar couriers over a prepared country. But our surprise is to took the the e the e a t inha bitedmust country is so prepared. The courier ? if h; ei t , ? d direct route, must have struck northwards across must have a ° v e Q e e a t d v a n a c , e a 1 ( 3 4 i to the lug the Great Wall of China, nt a i b a r w a e n e g n e s vast sandyparts of cdesertbin interposesawabnicdhtbo!e.m d this desert in an oblique direction, and, rate the Russian from the Chinese r an ges t he must have traverse sur mounting the bills that form its north-western boundary, be must have ridden over the steppes of the Khirghis, stop ping, perhaps, for a short rest in Turkistan. Coursing down the va ll e ys of the tributaries to the Sea of Lai, and passing to the north of the Caspian, he would thus reach the fron tier of Russia Proper, and might water his horses in the Volga and the Don as he passed ou his now easy course along the prepared routes to his capital. Was this his road ? Or did he strike up northwards from Pekin until he peached some Russian settlement upon that winding and mysterious river, the &moor, about which we hear so much and kn ow so little ? The Americansl tell us of a great commerce grow ing at its mouth, and of many steamers plying on its waters; we know that by a great and most unlucky bend southwards it descends to within eight degrees of the latitude of Pekie, and that the Russians have appropriated the great portion of Chinese territory which is included by that southwatd sweep. It was by that route Count Putiatin arrived in China, so we may be assured that it is shorter and not much more laborious than the sea route by Suez. Russia, it is plain, has found out a northern vulnerable point, and has already secured a covered way into this great floundering, defenceless empire. The moral of this is, that we Westerns must bestir our selves, or we shall be shut out of the new gaine. We must become a wire-extending people. We have let every nation get a-head of us in this matter. In England we don't do things because they are useful, still less because they are beautiful • but there is nothing on the earth or under the sea that we cannot accompli sh 'if it offer a good dividend on a large capital. There seems to have been a h es itation about the chance of making profits by crrrying messages, and meantime every one hasoutstripped us. The Trench have covered all Northern Africa with their wires; how far Russia lies yet carried hers we do not know. But this China telegram gives us ground to suspect that they are pushed a long way beyond Moscow. The American States talk hourly with each' other with these tongues of lightning; yet we, to whom rapid communication is as the breath of our empire, have not yet begun even to lay down wires to Calcutta. Nudged and elbowed by Brother Jona than, we have thrown a line across to America; but let any one compare the Atlantic Ocean, which, so far as it was an impediment to conversation, we have practically abolished, with the Red Sea and the Straits of Bab-el-mandeb, and the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, and the &rafts of Ma lacca and the China Sea. There can be no difficulty in any of these seas. We have Aden and Calle and Singapore and Hong Kong as stations—what is to prevent us from payng not our lines of wire and working our telegraphs ? There really is nothing to prevent this, mind is not yet quite sure that the Atlanotictelegraph is a except !le t t the official . fact, and not a dream, and cannot ye t t o be e li ve that the work is so easy as it has been new proved TILE HEAVY INDIAN MAIL.—The Indian m a il packet Colombo has not yet arrived.

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held at Nottingham on Monday. The report, an abstract of which has already appeared, was read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, sincerelywished he could have offered them a more favourable report ; but, taking into consideration the great depression that had existed in the commercial world, they would not feel sur prised at its meagreness. He congratulated them on the great facility their new station offered them, and on the reasonable rates at which the coal traffic could now be car ried on. The business of the canals was very much de pressed. In consequence of the late convulsions in trade they had had to pay more on the debentures as they became due—some at the rate of 51 per cent. Now, however, they had none above 5 per cent. Mr. CHAPMAN wished to know whether the Great Northern were pushing the traffic of this company to its fullest extent, as he bad heard that goods had been sent from Manchester on the Midland route by the Great Northern ? The CHAIRMAN was not aware of anything of the kind. Mr. CHAPMAN said that be had been informed by several of the Nottingham manufacturers that they had formerly been solicited for their custom, but that now this was not the case. Mr. BURLEY said, if the Great Northern would not use their influence for the benefit of their (the Ambergate) traffic, let a deputation be appointed, and communicate with them on the subject. (Hear, hear.) He was very glad that such a favourable balance-sheet had been presented. To the tradesmen of Nottingham the.y were indebted for a consi derable portion of their traffic. The CHAIRMAN said they bad reminded the Great Nor thern on all occasions on this point; the directors had omitted nothing that would benefit the traffic of the com pany. The Board of the Ambergate Company did not think that any good would arise from a deputation ; too much officiousness frequently did much harm. He then moved that the report be adopted. Mr. BEASLEY seconded the motion, and the report was unanimously adopted. A dividend of 2s. 9d. per share was then adopted. The retiring directors were re-elected, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. NORFOLK. -- --- - The report of the directors of this company states that the amount credited by the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany, and assumed by them as the proportion of the joint earnings due to the Norfolk Railway Company, is £42,743, which, after deducting the interest on guaranteed stocks and loans, leaves a balance of £13,728, and enables the directors to propose a dividend of £1 7s. 6d. per cent. upon the ordinary stock of the company for the last half year. The revenue account of the associated com panies has been prepared by the Eastern Counties Rail way Company, and is therefore based on their view of the agreement of 1854, but this and the previous half-yearly 1 accounts so furnished have not been adopted by the di rectors, who claim a considerable addition tkereto. The directors regret that the various questions in dispute be tween this company, the Eastern Union Railway Company, and the Eastern Counties Railway Company, as to' their respective rights under the agreement of 1854, remain un adjusted. The solicitors of the Norfolk and Eastern Union Companies, acting under the advice of counsel, have jointly given notice to the Eastern Counties Company to render accounts in accordance with the agreement, including all traffic receipts properly belonging to the common fund, and to discontinue the deduc tions unauthorised thereby. They have jointly com menced the necessary legal proceedings for ascertaining their rights, and for defining the duties and functions of the joint committee. The capital account shows that £2,229,905 had been received, and £2,223,395 expended, leaving a balance of EON). RESIGNATION OF COL. BROWNE• It is announced this morning that Col. Browne, Commis . sioner of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, has resigned, He is to be succeeded by Col. IL Lake (of Kars), C. 8., unattached, aide-de-camp to the Queen. At the time of the late prosecution against Col. Browne and certain members of the Dublin police, it was generally known that he bad decided on retiring when a fi tt i ng opportunity occurred. It is proper to add that he is widely respected, and that his resignation will be regretted by all the subordinate officers of the force. Col. Lake's appointment will, it is to be hoped, be accompanied by certain much needed reforms in the body. CHARLES DICKENS IN DUBLIN. Mr. Dickens has been enthusiastically received in Dublin. He gave his first reading last evening. Upon making his first appearance on the platform of the Rotundo, he expe rienced a reception which is rarely accorded elsewhere than in Ireland, and even here but to very prime favourites. When silence had been restored, he said : " Ladies and gentlemen, let the first words I have spoken on Irish soil be those of gratitude for your generous wel come—l return you thanks with all my heart." Having explained the nature and scope of the evening's lecture, he proceeded to express a hope that his auditors would give full vent at any portions of the story they thought proper to any feelings by which they might be animated. The sub ject for the evening, " The Christmas Carol," can hardly he considered one of the most successful productions of thewriter; high standard, and according to the fastidious taste which Mr. Dickens has himself created. The story, which is more legithnately suited for the fireside than the platform, abounds with passages that in any other age and country . would be considered marvels of wit and happy thought, enriching the book aml establishing the fame of its author • yet the plot, stripped of its ennobling accessories and amplitude of detail, presents liitie more than the case of a naturally goodhearted man recalled through the memory of vivid dreams, and the thoughts which' they give rise to, from the mists of avarice and sordid worldliness i n which be had for years become enshrouded. Still what a wonderful structure has been built on such a slen dor foundation ; and who, having read this ghost story with .attention to its deeper meaning, had not derived both please: and advantage, as must be the case from any other of the works that the same gifted band has produced. Mr. Dickens's rendering was admirably calculated to develop the points of the narrative. Omitting all but the dialogues of the leading characters, with those portions of descriptive matter indispensable to a right ap preciation of their meaning , the four staves into which DUBLIN AND WICKLOW. the Carol is divided were ea sil y and agreeably compressed --- into the period of two bestirs, which was judiciously fixed by the programme as the limit of the recital, The report of the directors of this company states that the with a view to avoid all danger of wearying the audi- earlier part of the half-year was still marked by the late ence.
