By P. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., _ And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply Imple evidence of his great discriminative power in the, diagnosis of the ♦arious kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic mamwement an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution; both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject tc otrioture.",—Medical Circular, Dec.

Instead of a special Congress on the _ltalian quesL. tion, which is only loss of time, M. de Girardin suggests that the Emperor Napoleon should atm mon a generall-kmgress, " at which all the Powers of Europe, great, middling, and little," should Settle the questions of the East, Italy, and Poland by - means of the neutralisation of the Straits, the aboli tion of recruiting (this trade in white men), the suppression of Custom-houses—those reforms which mast lead to unity in money, in weights and mea surdS, and in imposts." Constantinople should be the seat of this great Congress, "in order that each Plenipotentiary sent to it should be far enough from his country to loose sight of petty private interests," and clearly see " the advantages of neutralising every strait and . every sea, of piercing every isthmus, of the frceT - • navigation of every river, and spontaneously recog-'0 nise that the time of _conqaests has passed awayi: never to return," &c. aVe._ S PRICE 4D• STAMPED, SD. the staff, making a total reduction of £3,750 per annum.

M. GIR4.RDIN ON THE &TATE OF EUROPB. (From the Times' Paris Correspondent.) M. Emile Girardin's brochure, l' Emperor Napo leon 111. et l'Europe, has at last appeared. The im pression was seized at the printer's on the 13th of November, the day before its intended publication, on the warrant of the 'lap d'[nstruction. The legality of this premature seizure was contested on the ground that the alleged offence to the person of the Emperor, and the excitement of hatred , &c., to his Governmett.., was not completed by publicity, as required by the 128th clause of the Code of Crimi nal Instruction. The point was allo wed, the brochure was restored to the printer, and was forthwith pub lished, with the exception of some passages which might be construed into offence to the Emperor, and which were omitted. That any object should be agitated in public, from the minutest to the most important. from a choux monstre or the _Diners de Paris to the organisation of Italy and the settlement of Europe, without M. Girardin's interpogition, and without his attempting to show that all the world, past and present, have been wrong, and he only right, was not to be con d' Napoleon 111. has had two capital opportuni ties of carrying out this policy, which is his own; which is that of his books, that of his meditations, that of his proclamations—a policy the effigy of the future—a policy without danger, and not without grandeur. Those two occasions were the Congress of Paris in 1856, in 1857 the interview of Stuttgard, the period when England had liindostan on her hands, with difficulties of the most serious kind, which she has ever had to overcome ; dangers the greatest which she has ever had to pass through; dangers so great that it wag fora moment doubtful whether she could have mastered them. These two occasions have passed away by reason of secondary and fugitive considerations. A third opportunity, no less prcpitious, is again offered under cover of the settlement of the Italian question, the canalisa tion of Suez, and the Spanish expedition to Mo rocco, and which may lead to the taking and keep ing of Tangier." M. de Girardin enforces this view of affairs by several other reasons too numerous to mention, and he ascends by a graduated fcale to the wonderful results which would follow from the simple neutra lisation of the Straits. _ _ _ ceived. - In the present production the' el-journalist affirms that nothing decisive has as yet been done by any one on any one of the great questions which diplomacy and the sword have tried to resolve. lie declares that of the five great Powers of Europe, France is the only country that has no foreign po licy worth talking of: — Externally England has a policy—to find Markets for her produce. " Externally Austria has a policy—to draw closer together and augment her bundle of States. " Externally Prussia has a policy—to counter balance Austria. " Externally Russia has a policy—to execute the testament of Peter the Great. " If the author of this work is in error, let his contradictors inform him what is the external po licv of France." -lie asserts that even the First Napoleon had no policy, and, after sketchinkr the vast extent and power of the first Empire, observes : " To have a policy is to have an object in view. Not to have this object is not to have a policy. Na poleon I. conquered merely to conquer. Had not this Wandering Jew of. victory beer. stopped by the burnins , of Moscow and . the premature se verity-of the season, he would have continued to March till he encountered a defeat or death. if he had had an external policy which he could explain to himself be would not have concealed it; on the contrary, he would have disclosed it in one of those mei:orable bulletins, in order to reassure those whom the unknown frightened, and when it would have closely bound to his cause. kings and peoples, which the community of interests would have drawn to him." ' He then enters . on the more delicate inquiry as to • whether - Napoleon 111. has, after all, an external roliey "'The Emperor Napoleon III.," he says, " has lnuclable political inspirations ;:it would be unjust to deny the fact. But the policy into which he has entered is a labyrinth from NN-lich it is very difficult to issue without a conducting thread." tie sets in proof of this the twoioxpeditions to Italy-1841 and 1859—the one beinc , the contradic tion of the other. condsmns the. Crimean_ war, which, though glorious for the French arms, was a political fault, because Napoleon 111. was not the man who should defend the map, of Europe as ar ranged by the treaties of 1815; "and," he asks, did it become France to weaken the maritime power of Russia and arrest her development ?" " In the maritime equilibrium less important than the territorial? Is England, whose interests we serve when we weaken -a naval Power,.,an.ally to be relied upon ? Admitting that she is, of what use is she to us ? What service did she render us in the Italian expedition, when, nevertheless, all the sympathies of the old and natural ally of Austria should be for the deliverance of the Ita "- The strange spectacle," he continues, " which Europe now presents to the eye of the impartial observer is that of Governments dictating to other Governments what they ought to do, and, conse quently, exposing themselves to be asked whether they will themselves set the good example. Is Eng land justified in raising her voice in favour of Italy against the domination of Austria, the oppression of the King of Naples, or the temporal authority of the Pope ? In their turn, have not the Pope, Austria,. and the King of Naples an equal right to' raise their voices 'in favour of Ireland and of India ; to summon to the bar Great Britain, as culpable of the most monstrous abuses and as stained with .the most infamous cruelties? To ask her, in the name of civilisation, for an account of the 3,000,000 of Irish dead of famine"—this beats Mr. Bernard Sheehan and the speakers nt. the Cork meeting— " mid of countless Indians torn to pieces, without defence, by cannon ignominiously converted into an instrument of punishment ? When this accusa tion, with all the proofs furnished by the British Parliament itself, is made before the Congress against England, what can she answer to the Cc:s. 7. vernments she has incriminated ? Why, keep silent and hold down her head." I may observe, en passant, that it would be w9rth M. de Girardin's while to commence learning a little English, were it only as much as would enable him to guess at articles in some of the Irish opposition newspapers, the letters in the lrishmon, the occa• aional speeches at pUblie meetings—the late one at Cork, for instance—.so as tnform a comparison be tween the freedom. of speech and writing in op pressed Ireland and the condition of the Continental •:_itates to . which he refers. The seizure of M. de Gir ardin's pref_.ent pamphlet, before publication, and his forced or vonintary omission, of certain passag its published form—passages which probably - ere as . eulogy itself compared with what is tolerated by the tyrannical' Government. of Ireland, is as good an answer as any to til. de Girardin, who evidently know .1 nothing of Ireland beyond its name or geo graphical position. M- de Girardin concludes his pamphlet thus : " From whatever,canse it arises, France is in one of those decisive moments when she has only to wish to ,1N able to ,do; but .what would be for her interest merely or for the interest of a nation would be for the intzret of general civilisation. Stipulat ing in the name of civilisation—that is, in the name of all peoples, the more . France should demand the less she would encounter resistance. Demanding only what. is just, she would never demand too much. Let her' then prepare herself to demand from the coming Congress what the Congress can- . -not refuse her without putting all the peoples of Europe on the side of the Emperor Napoleon III." And so ends M. Emile de Girardin. lians ? Do I mean that France ought to treat England as an enemy ? No. With England the conduct of France ought to be this :—No rash de fiances, no offensive manner of proceeding, but no concessions without reciprocity—no weakness to . encourage her audacious promptness of encroach ment. No humility to arm her pride, which is easily exalted. England, like a river which always tends to overflow, requires to be ever kept within bounds. Every concession without an equivalent is a danger ; it is a fault, for England esteems only those whom she insults—that is to say, those who resist her. Do I mean that France ought to render serious the visible apprehensions of Eno.- land ? No, even if a landing on her coast succeeded it would prove nothing, except in favour of steam navigation—wmld lead' to nothing except the ne, cessity of a re-embarkation. Do I mean that France ought to give to London a spectacle equal to that which England gave to Copenhagen in 1807? No, one act of barbarity does not justify another." After ahowinr , the uselessness of all wars which are not founded on legitimate defence or reparation of a defeat, and of all armed interventions, he says— " Had not France, still so imperfectly cultivated, a better employment for the arms and lives of her children ? France, which has so long been without roads, highways, canals, railroads--France, which even now in 1859 has only the half of the railroads she ought to have to profit by her minerals and her coal mines, has she not had since 1823 better em ployment for her money and her loans ?" M. de Girardin goes, on for four pages asking himself a great number of questions on the import ant affairs of the day, and invariably answers him self\in the negative, concluding thus ; • "If the Crimean and Italian expeditions were to recommence France would, consequently, do well to abstain from them. In 1849 as in 1853, in 1853 as in 1859, the policy which France should have preached and practised was the policy of absolute non-intervention." M. de Girardin relates with complacency his an , swer to M. Guizot in 1846 on his - being asked his f opinion by that statesman on the incorporation of THE ACTION FOR SEDUCTION. • --.0. - Last night the attention of the Society for Pro- . meting the Amendment of the Law was directed by Mr. Allen to the defects in the state of the law in reference to altions for seduction. Mr. Allen's paper chiefly .referred to the anomalous circum stance that a father, however pained might. be his feelings on finfling that his daughter had been made the victim of a seducer, had, as ag ainst him no remedy unless he could prove loss of service, a state of the law which was a batbarous tradition from the time when women were looked upon as mere chattels. There was often a difficulty found in establishing that loss of service which entitled. the father of a young woman to stand to her in the suit in question in the relation of a master to his servant, and it also, frequently happened that when the suit was prosecuted it broke down through the proof of the fernier immoralily of the woman, the law not allowing any amount of good conduct on her part subsequent to her loss of chastity to be taken into consideration as giving her master the tom .thindi of a plaintiff. He would do away with the fiction of proof of service, and give the father directly the right of action if the daughter was a minor, the damages when recovered to be shared betVieen them ; and in case she' was over age, he would allow the woman herself to institute the suit. Mr. ED - GAR thought there were only two ways of getting rid of the difficulties which, under the ex isting state of- the law, surrounded this action— either to allow the woman to bring her own action or to require a proof of substantial loss of service. With regard to the first., ho (Ed not think it. right that the woman, a consenting party, should b 2 allowed to bring an tidier' for damage, which she tustained through her own wilful conduct. The se cond course was the alternative of a total abolitibn of the suit, by which. the cause of morp.lity•would, he thought, be on the whole better• served ; but the only real remedy was the eleVation of the moral feeling of men. A discussion „ensued, in which. Mr. Wingfield, H M wi a r Al S . i t t i sh j n h o gs ob il . , t p a d h a n icts d N evu o:t sc h sa i i e to i e r n i s d g • g o t t o f i ht n o e k e : o s d t o ktphupenl considera tionof the question was referred to a committee. paper read by Mr. Dempsey upon infanticide, in case of concealment, not of birth, but of pregnancy, after which the proceedings terminated. afterwards took Hall, Mr. Cracow : " If I were in your place," said M. de Girardin, " I should present no protest against that act." " What, then, would you do " I should order the F renc h Ambassador at Vienna to illuminate all the doors and windows of his hotel." " Why ?" asked tho protesting and astonished M. Guizot. " In sign of rejoicing ," " For what ?" " For that the Powers who signed the treaties of 1815 had just torn them with their own hands, and for that they could never again appeal to them !" What M. Guizot said thraeupon is not recorded. 'M. de Girardin suggests tke manner in which France might occupy, industrially, commercially, and as a maritime power, a rank equal to what she occupies territorially in Europe : " Does Russia wish to possess herself of the Straits of the Dardanelles ? .Trance is the ally of England against Russia, but on condition that England shall neutralise the Straits of Gibraltar, as also Babel mandeb, menaced by Aden, restore to Turkey Perim, which is the key to the Red Sea, disarm Corfu, which is the key to the Adriatic, dismantle Malta, which she took from us, and which she was bound to give back to us by the Treaty of Amiens.

ATROCIOUS OUTRAMF..—A ferocious and most. cowardly assault was lately made by some white barbarians on a party of blacks quietly encamped near Breakfast Creek, Quosnsland district.

It is probable that the villain* who perpetrated., ' this most cowardly murder had, or supposed they had, suf fered'wrong at the hands of some of the aborigines; but the idea of such an indescriminate revenge could only occur to a most diabolical mind.- Several of the blacks thus das tardly assaulted were employed on some of the eighbour ing farms, and were known to be quiet and ha n rmless, but no one pretends to suppose that the perpetrators of this brutal attack believe.' them to have committed the injuries which it Was probable it was meant to redress. lt is hoped that the miscreant's' will be: 'discovered and punished Australian Mail.

It was during the last quarter that the general business of the society assumed such a marked progress and the share holders will learn with satisfaction that the aspect of the current quarter (which ends on the 24th instant) up to the present period has been most favourable, the' cash receipts from the 30th of September up to Saturday last, the 10th of December, already amounting to £14,083 Bs. 2d.; grand total to Dec. , 10, , 1859, £422,057 2s. 7d ; total with drawals to the same date on share and deposit accounts, £97,190145. sd.

Freehold building plots now for sale in various counties, 411,037 Os. 6d. - Grand total of land sold to Dec. 10, 1859, £'1,31,415.25. 6d. The only new property offered in the past year through the register of rights was the Park Estate, Weymouth, the sale of which was commenced on the 23d Juno last. The contract for the roads and drains is now being carried out, and during the progress thereof there is reason to expect that buildings will be commenced. From the competition which took place for thohotel and other plots, the speedy disposal of the whole of this eligible building property may be anticipated. Itsvieinity to the Esplanade and Bay, and the Great Western and South Western Railway stations abtating,on the land, present advantages for the erection of houses now much wanted in the rapidly increasing town of Weymouth. The balance of profit on the Winchester estate has been carried to the balance sheet, but the executive) committee decided upon postponing the allotment of the Ileehampton-park estate until the present financial year, the reserve fund enabling the board to take this course. Owing to the gratifying position of affairs, the interest, raised at TA7.y-day last from 4 to 5 per . cent. per annum ore completed shares and shares paid year in advance, will be continued fur the present at the increased rate; and upon monsys invested in the deposit department 4 per cent. per annum will' be allowed. As regards the holders of uncompleted shares, in respect of which plots on estates have not been taken; the same,amonnt of interest will be placed as bonus in then-pass-books to their credit as that already paid to the 'members whose shares were in advance—namely; at • 4 per cent, per, annum on the half year ending Lady-day, 18 , 59 t. and at 5 per cent. per annum on the last two quarters ending September 3e, 1859. it Is the pleasing duty of the executive committee. to report the• successful working of the new system of business adopted in October, 1858. The shore, deposit, land, and borrowing departnients are now understood and appreciated by the general public, as the increasing investments amply prove. The consolidation of the legal and surveying departments under one roof. at the offices in Norfolk-street has been at tended with the most beneficial eesulte, both in economy and expedition. As an illustration of the latter it.maY be men. tioned that plots of land nearly £l,OOO in value, in which the departments of solicitor, surveyor, and secretary were engaged, and points were decided by the board, passed through all. the stage - B'a negot Wien and sale wit hi n a week. Transfer of land through the society's system ‘ie, in fact, effected as protiiPtly, as witlitirllWSlS mid building advances are made. Another instance of sitetely transattion of busi ness may be cited.. Sieee the last prat terly report a second estate has been bought at Old Ford, and the„ purchase has been completed,:the deeds being in the societyls hands. The, hind has been mapped, and the Mode divisiOn approved by the board, and the day of allotment has been fixed for Wednesday, January 1:6, 1860. This valuable piece of land is only divided from the Ohl Ford estate; first bought for the society, by the Ronnie •road,' and has frontages also to the Tredegar-roade nearly opposite St. Stephen's Church. The Bo* and Victoria Park stations, and the park i'self, are close to the estate. The specifications f,r the new 'roads, being continuations of • Usher and Armagh roads of the old estate, will be forthwith prepared. The prices of the plots range from £209 Ss. 3d. down t o £36.1 le. 6d. per plot. The Right Hon. R. A. C. N. Hamilton and the Hon. Col. Lowther, M.P., two of the trustees, and R. Steven, Esq., a member of the board, being unible to continue their services, have resigned, to the great re gret of their colleagues .in office, who have tendered their aeknewledgmentsfor the valuable aid rendered to the society Since its formation, It has not been deemed necessary to appoint other gentlemen 'in their . places, inasmuch as the present number of trustees and executive committee is in eenformity with the rules. The following members of the board retire by rotation, but are eligible for re-election, namely, Col. B. Knox, M.P., Limit...eel. A. Meyrick , 11. Pownall, Esq., L. Palk, Esq., M.P., and the Hon and Rev. W. C. Talbot, who offer them selves for re-election. The general returns from local agents and surveyors are encouraging as to future building opera tions on the various estates. ' At the period of the strike of the operatives a marked improvement.. had already . taken place, and the cessation of the combination, which is . fast approaching, will tend to much activity in the ensuing spring. Representations are constantly made to the board susie.x (Bast) ,and Der that, if allottees would but build, or form some combined scheme for the purpose, houses would let readily at remune rative rants. It is a constant subjeet of complaint that holders.ef land neglect the fencing in of their plots, and make no effort to let or build. The allottees who have pur sued contrary course, and have looked after their property, have in many instances realised. It is satisfactory to re port that the churches on the Maidstone and Winchester estates are proereseing, and that for the‘church on the St. Margaret's estate an influential committee has been formed to insure its erection. Richmond-bridge being now toll free is another advantage for the St. Margaret's estate. The committee will afford every assistance in their poWer to add to the existing communications with the, Richmond, Twickenham, and Isleweeth stations. The drainage ques tion connected with the Kentish -town estate is in a fair way of settlement ; and negotiation s have been opened which may lead to great advantages in the prompt develop ment of this eligible building prOperty, Th e executive coni mittee cannot close this report. without a general reference to the society's transactions for the seven completed years. Thirty-eight estates have-been acquired in the following 11 counties :—Middlesex, Surrey (Beet and West divisions), Kent (West), ire (Weld); Lincolnshire (North), Berkshire, Hants setshire.

Experience has shown that the votes so obtained are much valued , by the holders. Numerous in stances might be cited of the alacrity and good faith with which the society's allettees" attended, at personal sacrifices, to'exerciso their privilege's at the polling booths: Bound by no promise or pledge of any kind, it ,would an act of injustice on the part of the e xecutiv e committe e not to ac knowledge in this report the' political 'fidelity of the large' majority of the society's voters.

(Signed)' 11 \NEI,AGH, Chairman. (Countersigned) C. L. GRUNEISEN, SecrytarT RAILWAY IN2'ELLIG_EATE. WARWICK AND WORCESTER. A meeting of the contributories in this unfortu nate concern was held yesterday in Master 'Richards's chambers,- Southampten-buildings, to consider a requisition from Mr. Ernest, the official manager, for a further call of £l, per share. This company was formed about 15 years ago, and all its capital had been dissipated. Mr. Roxborough attended for the official manager to represent the necessity for the proposed call to meet acknowledged and ascertained claims. Mr. L. Webb, Mr. Sturglon, and other legal gentlemen attended on behalf of the contributoPies to oppose the call; and Mr. Phillips appeared for Mr. Prichard, engineer, one of thelargest creditors. Mr. Roxly.rough explained the position of the company with reference to the creditors. The claim of Mr. Prichard, engineer; was originally £7, 459 , which was reduced to £2,300. The claim of Messrs. Wright and Hanbury for £1,433 had been resisted by the official manager, and Was reduced to £3,133. There were some , other claims .of smaller amounts. Altogether the claims to be peremptorily satisfied exceeded £9,000, which could only be done by a call, unless there were sufficient assets in hand. The only assets consisted of £492 in the Bank of England, and £l,OOO to be taken out of court in the estate Of Goodman and De Beaver—Xl492 in all. In addition to this there was a claim for £2OO against the London and Birmingham Extension Company, for which a suit was nowpending. There were proceedings instituted against the company by two persons named Cole and Gannon. Mr. Ernest, the official manager, was then exa mined. He said the winding-up commenced in 1849. The deposits paid on shares taken amounted to £41,000. With respect to a cheque for £14,000 which had been signed by Sir John de Beaver, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Edmund, and other directors, he had made inquiry at the bank, but had not been able to ascertain who had taken out the money or what had become of it. There seemed to have been no minutes kept by the finance committee. He could throw no more light upon another cheque for £ 1 , 900 . With the exception of one, he did not believe that a six pence could be recovered from the directors who had signed these two cheques. No proceedings had been taken against any,of the directors. After re ferring to various suits in which the company had been engaged, he stated that there was a sum of £4,300 due from persons who, he believed, were men of straw. For his own services he had already received £6BO and his solicitors £2,600. In answer to a question from Mr. D W. Harvey, Mr. Ernest admitted that some years ago a hope was held out to those who signed the deed that a portion of their money would be returned to them. Mr. HARVEY said his distinct recollection was, that 15s. in the pound was to be the minimum of the money returned. He was astonished at being asked now to pay a call of £1 per share, which might not be the last. Ho objected to the making of the call until the contributories had an opportu nity, at a meeting of their own, of thoroughly in vestigating the financial affairs of the company, and especially of ascertaining whether something could not be made of the directors and of the depositors, who were defaulters to the amount of £3,300. In the list of these defaulters he noticed that there r; ere 200 names against which were placed the words " not found." From his own official expe rience he could say that it was no easy matter for persons to get completely out of the way if they were properly looked after. Under all the circum stances, ho suggested that the meeting should be adjourned to give the contributories an opportunity of holding a meeting to investigate the accounts, &c. This recommendation was received with gene ral approbation. Mr. PHILLIPS and Mr. ROXBOROT_TGII resisted the adjournment. The AlasTEn said the request that had been made to him was a very reasonable one, and he would adjourn the meeting for a month. CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. The report of the directors of this company states that the gross income during the 12 months ending 31st Oct. last amounted to £134,068, and the expen diture to 188,753, leaving a balance, of £45,315. 'The net earnings for the, preceding 12 months : amounted to £35,071, showing an increase of .X 10,241, which it appears arose almost entirely froth the reductions made in the charges against revenue for the 'year, _excluding the receipts and .expenditure connected with the Handel leStivals from both accounts ; it would be seen thet while the cintrges for the year ending April 30, 1858, were L 72,890, for. the past year they have been but £65,362, and even this latter sum included many .items of expenditure which represented permanent additions and improvements to the Palace, and which might legitimately have been charged to capital. The sum now available for division amounted, with the reserve brought forward, to £57,940, which the directors proposed to apportion as follows :—To the payment of preference dividend and interest on debenture stock for the year, £26,663; to the payment of a dividend on the ordi nary shares of 2s. per share, amounting to £20,059, .leaving a reserve of £11,218 to be carried forward to the next year's account. Since the last meeting the whole of the debenture stock had been allotted. The balance of the purchase money for the land, £64,231, which under the original agreement with Mr. Schuster became due on July 31, 1859, had been paid, and the property conveyed to the com , parry as their freehold. Only one item was added to the capital areount, a sum of £3,500, paid to the refreshment contractors for additions made to the plant. In the refreshment department careful atten tion had been paid to the wants of the masses of the public ; and at the same time the demand for accom modation for more private refreshments had been so great as to render necessary the construction of addi tional dining-rooms in the tower of the south wing. 'the total number of visitors during the period was 1,381,163, being an increase of 20,0 00 on the average of the four preceding years. The exhi- Uitors' department continued to show steady pro gress. The increased accommodation had produced the result anticipated, the rental from this source. having shown a satisfactory advance of more than 15 per cent. on that of the preceding twelve months. The whole exterior of the main building had been repainted, and its stability fully main tained. An agreement had been entered into be tween the company and the council of the London Rifle Brigade, by which a portion of the grounds at the lower end of the park was appropriated to the Brigade as a practice ground. The spot chosen had received the sanction of the Government in spector, and all the expenditure requisite to fit it for the purpose in view was to be defrayed by the Brigade; while, on the other hand, the directors had reduced the price of admission to all the mem bers 'of the brigade when in uniform. Arrange ments cf a similar nature were in progress with other metropolitan corps, and thus the Palace would become identified with this important popular movement. The construction of the Vic toria station and of the line for connecting the West-c nd Rail way thereto, was proceeding rapidly, and there was every prospect of their being opened early in the coming summer. This direct commu nication with the centre of the west-end of town could not fail to cause an important addition to the traffic to the Palace. 'The houses which the company were erecting on their property in Dalwich-wood were approaching completion. As the Crystal Palace was now fitted up with the most complete and extensive orchestra in the world, obtained at a cost of nearly £7,000 (the whole of which had been paid out of revenue), and es the great transept was an equally unrivalled Imlay, the board, in conjunction with the committee of the society, had under their consideration the establish ment of periodical musical festivals, equal at least in extent to the Handel Festival. It was proposed that the first of these should take place in . 1862. The Crystal. Palace Art Union was very successful during its first season, and there was every prospect of a considerable increase in its operations for the coming year. A resolution would be submitted to the proprietors empowerium the directors to con solidate the shares, both ordinary and preference, into stock. The capital account showed that .C 1,459,444 had been received, and £1,353,107 expended, leaving a balance of £106,337. LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY. The report of the directors states that the, expcnili tere on capital account durinc , the half-year ending the 3d of July last was £7,616, principally for horses and new stables. The revenue account showed a profit of £13,7-16 after providing for all the ordi nary expenses of the service; eight three-horse omnibuses and 17 two-horse omnibuses, valued at about £3,000, had been constructed during the six months, and charged against revenue. At the chief office a reduction equal to £6OO per annum had been effected by the amalgamation of the offices of secretary and cashier, £6OO had been saved by a reduction- in the cast of the district management, And £550 in a portion of • 0 0
