The French Emperor, or his War-office, makes a very good use of this money. It engages soldiers to re-enlist, gives all who .do so increased pay, with great advantages at the expiration of their service. In a word, the condition of the real, permanent soldier is very much improved by , the regulation of this dotation of the army. But the increased burden of taxation thrown upon. the Peasant classes by these additions to the- Conscription-law, and by the increased and unnecessary- number of conscripts taken, weighs not the lass, especially.upon the rustic population, and inspires it with sentiments of diminished respect for military exigencies and glory.. Another fact well 'worthy of remark is, that notwithstanding all the advantages promised and offered to those who will devote themselves exclusively to the career of arms, they are not taken advantage of, at least not in the proportion that might be expected. If a French soldier sees that he has no chance of becoming an officer, he in general quits the service. So many comrades pass over him and gain epaulettes that he is disgusted, so that it is with the utmost difficulty that the Wai Administration is able to maintain a sufficient number of first-rate sous-officers in a regiment. - Another mistake which,the above facts will cor rect is the too general supposition that, in conse quence of the large number of naval and military conscripts raised annually; the number of both ser vices must be almost on a war footing; but iirtruth no more soldiers swell the army from a conscription of 100,000 than used to do so from the old one of 80,000.. The increased number is merely an affair of finance, and augments the dotation, not the number of the army. The aim of the Emperor Napoleon has been to increase the efficiency and the wellbeing rather than the number of his army, and for this we are most ready to give him due credit, being convinced that the more the expanse of the soldier is increased, the more impossible will it become for any country or government to "keep up multitudinous armies. These, however, are incidental considerations. What we have sought to explain is the repugnance to war and to a military establishment which is evinced and avowed by the French peasant, and which already shows on how very tottering a basis is built a military monarchy when it is made to repose upon universal suffrage. Let it here be remarked that what is true of one expected belligerent is true of the other. For Austria has adopted not only the French Conscrip tion, but the recent additions to it respecting re engagements. Here, then, are two great empires which have destroyed every institution save the army. They have centralised all authority, and leave nothing between their Emperors and the people, from which people are raised at once the men and the funds to compose and support the army. Tile populatio n h ave b u t to give utterance to one cry of dissent or dissatisfaction with the system, and the entire fabric of power crumbles like a piled up pack of cards.—. Daily News. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. The directors of this company state in their re port that the net revenue for the half-year ending the 31st Dec. last, after deducting interest on loans and all other preferential charges, amounts to £202,480, to which £4,853, the surplus from June last, is added, making a total balance available for dividend of £207,334. From this sum the directors propose that a dividend shall be declared, payable on the 21st inst., at the rate of £5 15s. per cent. per annum, amounting, on £7,197,855 of capital paid up, to £206,938, leaving a balance of £396. The increase in the gross revenue for the last half year, over the corresponding period of 1857, amounted to £22,802, of which £16,953 was from passengers and mails, £6,323 from goods and mer chandise, but there was a decrease of £474 from rents and sundries. The total receipts on 287 k miles for the half-year amounted to £468,662, the work ing expenses to £177,722, the taxation to £22,882, and the net revenue to £268,059. The improve ment ix the receipts was not produced by any ex traordinary cause, but was a gradual increase of the traffic spread over the whole system of the com pany's lines. The traffic returns since the com mencement of the year 1859 also show an increase in the receipts. Considerable progress had been made in providing the additional stock necessary for working the new lines about to be completed. Before the close of the present year the company will be working (including the Portsmouth line, already opened) upward s o f 120 m il es o f additional railway. The sum of £19,202 had been expended on this account. A considerable sum had been ex pended, at the cost of revenue, in improving and altering the old stock of carriages. The permanent way continued to be maintained in good order. A further portion of the main line had been renewed during the past half-year, at an expense of £10,553, charged against revenue. A similar expenditure on the main line under this head might be expected each half-year, the increased mileage run and the additional trains required in connexion with the new lines creating a considerable increase in the wear and tear on the old line. The doublingof the Southampton and Dorchester line for the 36 miles from Southampton to Wimborne was completed, whereby the working of the traffic on the line was much facilitated. The contractor was proceeding rapidly , with the works on the Exeter extension line. Some delay had occurred in finishing the station works at Salisbury, at th e j unct i on with the . Salisbury and Yeovil line ; but th ere was ne doubt that t ie first portion of that line to Gilling hamw would ldhbneewrelaindoy fromfor opening early E i p n so t m he spring. , which this company had agreed to work, will be opened on the first of March 40xt. The directors had also agreed to tak e th e ra i lway recently com pleted by an independent company, between Epsom and Leatherkea d, at an annua l rent of .£2,000, with further conditions for its mergence with this coin- Whatever may be the resolve of the ruler of France with respect to the difference with Austria, one thing seems to have been generally ascertained and admitted—the people of France display no alacrity, no eagerness, or desire of war. On the contrary, the reports of every provincial authority concur in representing the population as more than indifferent to the martial struggle in prospect. This, with respect to some classes, is perfectly na tural. The French have become almost altogether a commercial or industrial people, . When one goes amongst them, there is but one cry heard--that of a desire faire des ajfaires ; and to pursue fortune and advancement is the only path that is left open. But the peasant is a stFanger to these calculations; and he especially is the depository of all those im perial traditions of glory which have introduced the Legion of Honour into so many cottages. Still the French peasant shakes his head at the mention of war; and the French housewife does more. She corrugates her brow, and looks unutterable things, indicative of the strongest aversion to mili tary glory, and the price at which it is to be pur chased. A number of causes kindle the aversion of the French peasant class for war. There is a horror of the excise, or of what are called the droits reunis, and a kindred dread of the new taxes which come in the shape of centinzes additionnels. But we will confine ourselves, for the present, to a description of what especially disgusts the French, men and women, with war—the conscription, and the new regulations which have come to reinforce it. The French conscription during the reign of the Bourbons, legitimate or quasi, raised nominally every year 80,000 youth of twenty-one years of age. Of these 80,000, however, scarcely more than one-half joined their regiments ; and those who did join generally got placed on the reserve, and were sent home after four years' ser vice. A father of a family who wished to exempt his son from service did so either by subscribing a yearly sum of no great amount, or by paying down about £6O for a substitute. The con scription, in fact, did not fall heavy upon the rustic communities, and mothers when they did part -.with their sons, felt that it was but for a year or two. Since 1853, and especially now, the con scription is quite another thing. In the first place, those who do join the army remain in it for at least eight years. If they have learned a trade they forget it ; if they have a sweet heart they lose her. Next of all, it is no longer 80,000 conscripts, one half of whom joie their corps, but 100,000 conscripts, all of whom must . either join or pay. When 100,000 are taken, the result is, in general, that all the valid or war-worthy youth of the district are taken. All, indeed, do not join the army. But the parents who do not suffer the loss of their children suffer severely in pocket. To explain this, it must be stated that the Em peror Napoleon has introduced a new law, called that of the Dotation de l' Armee. .This law abo lished the old system of parents supplying each an especial reniplacement for their sons, which certain companies used, to furnish. The Government now receive the money, and in return grant the exemp tion. Instead, however, of laying out this money in paying young recruits, it is h an d e d over to t h e credit of the army dotation. Of the 100,000 men raised for the Conscription, not 80,000 enter the depots; therefore the Government receives redemp tion from 20,000 or 25,000 conscripts whom it really does not replace. The price of redemption is about 3,000 f., or £l2O. Multiply this by 20,000 or by 25,000, and we have the sum of £3,000,000 sterling raised annually upon French parents, and chiefly from peasant parents, for their offspring, and this over and above what was raised or paid previous to 1850. P..I.RLIA. !EFORM. MEETING IN THE CITY THIS DAY. A public meeting of the electors of the City of London was held this afternoon, in the Guildhall, to take into consideration the propriety of a reform in Parliament. At half-past one the majority of those present seemed to belong to the working classes ; and the assemblage altogether bore a very different appear ance to that which usually fills the Guildhall when subjects of importance are under the consideration of the citizens of London. The chair was talfen at two o'clock by the Right lion. D. W. Wire, Lord Mayor. His LORDSHIP, in opening the business of the meeting, said he had convened the present meeting in compliance with a requisition, numerously signed, in order that the electors of the City might express their opinions upon a subject which was creating immense interest in the country—he meant that of the reform of the representation of the people in Parliament. He trusted that the order of the meeting, as arranged by the requisitionists, would not be disturbed. They had arranged the speakers, and he trusted that their proceedings would be con ducted with order and regularity. Mr. Ernest Jones would now submit the first resolution. Mr. ERNEST JONES said that although London had been late to move in the cause of parliamentary reform, he trusted that good would result from the great gathering which he then had the honour of addressing. lie stood there not to advocate the opinions of any particular class, but to help on th e great work of reform. (Cheers.) The resolution he had the honour of submitting to them was to to the effect that no measure of reform would be acceptable to all classes without it guaranteed to all equal justice. ' ' (Cheers.) Mr. Bright had submitted to them a reform bill, and he had said he was in favour of manhood suffrage, but notwithstanding that assertion, he thought the bill hardly went far enough, as according to its provi sions nearly four millionmen would be kept out of the pale of the constitution. Why was this P Was not that four million men as good as any of those now before him. (Hear, hear and cheers.) He (Mr. Jones) did not believe that manhood suffrage could be carried out. There must be some restrictions necessarily, but he would not go so far as Mr. Bright, who declared that the working classes were indolent and de praved. (Cheers.) But while he (Mr. Jones) agreed that a line of demarcation must be drawn some where, he would not say that the 4,000,000 he pro posed to enfranchise were depraved and indolent. He was not for putting power in the hands of any mob, who would go from place to place and turn the election. We shall continue the report in our late edition, THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

Before the close, however, shares in many cases were flatter, and a greater desire exhibited to sell. : Lead and tin mines are best supported, as apprehensions exist that copper may slightly decline. Lead containing good quantities of silver is in great request, and one mine has lately sold a parcel as high as £2B per ton. Rosewarne shares have been very largely dealt in, and advanced to 75, but owing to a few sel lers appearing, and an attempt to run them down the price receded, and left off at 55 ; the bottom level, the 80 east, is worth £2O per fm. ; the 80 west, £6 to £7 ; great interest attaches to cutting the lode in the 70 in about a week, which may again cause a great rise in shares.---Mining Journal of this day. REVIVAL OF OXFORD RACES.--W e are glad to learn that a movement is on foot for the revival of Oxford Races. The matter having been taken up by the energetic sheriff of the city of Oxford, John Stevens, Esq., we have no fear of the result. Still, as the future of Oxford Races is involved in the meeting of 1859, we can only express a hope that the noblemen and gentlemen of the county will subscribe liberally :towards this desirable object.—Bell's • Life. pany's general undertaking. Acting on the reso lution passed at the special general meeting on 27th Oct. last, the directors had concluded an arrange ment with the Portsmouth Company for a lease of their undertaking for 999 years, at a rental of £lB,OOO a-year, subject to such other incidental conditions as the directors had considered just and proper. The Portsmouth line was opened for traffic on the Ist of January, and trains were run ning over it, pending the application to Parliament for the lease. An arrangement had been concluded with the. Stokes Bay Railway and Pier Company, by which the company was to lease and work that undertaking in perpetuity, at an yearly rent of £l,BOO, but the arrangement was to Cease if the sea service between Stokes Bay and the Isle of Wight should at any time not be sufficiently worked or provided for by the Stokes Bay or Ferry Com pany. The directors regret that the proposed lease by this company of the Portsmouth Railway had led to differences with the Brighton Company. With regard to the charge of breach of faith made by the Brighton Company against the board, the directors feel that they have a full and satisfactory reply. The board thought the time had arrived for calling the attention of the proprietors to the subject of the remuneration of the direc tors. In August, 1846, the:salary of the board was increased from £l,OOO to £2,000 per annum; the capital account of the company was then £2,636,585; it was now £7,197,533. The gross receipts of the year were £365,355 ; they now am oun t e d to £862,516. Th e m il es of railway open were 105; and there were now 287, with 120 more miles in pro spect. The qualification of directors had been since 1846 raised from a holding of £l,OOO, not paid up, to a holding of £3,000, p a id up an d held for twelve i month. The report of Mr. Beattie states that the cost per mile for the locomotive department had been at the rate of B . old. per mile, showing a decrease of ex pense of £1,488, of 0 . 60 d. per mile, as compared with the corresponding half of 1857. The saving had in part been made by improvements in the engines to economise fuel, whereby nearly three tons of coals had been used to one ton of coke, and the same results had been obtained by one ton of the former as by a similar quantity of the latter. The comparison stood thus during the six months ending Dec., 1857; the cost per train mile for fuel was 2.68 d. ; last half-year it was 2.43 d. ; the de crease therefore had been id. per mile, notwith standing the prop or ti on o f goods train mileage had been greater. The amount expended in the car riage department had been £12,959, or at the rate of 1•92 d. per train mile, giving a total expenditure of £67,039 for both departments, or 9.93 d. per train mile, as compared with. 10.25 d. for a similar period in 1857. The capital account showed that £ 1 0,074,776 had been received, and £10,125,561 expended, leaving a balance of £50,785 against the company. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON. The directors of this company state in their report that the receipts for the six months just ended, in cluding the balance of £1,653 brought from the pre ceding half-year, amounted to £193,697, and the expenditure to £111,487. The half-year's accounts contain a debit of £5,545 in part payment of the Parliamentary expenses of last session. The dis posable balance, after payment of all interest, pre ference dividends, and other outgoings, amounted to £37,000. This sum was fully equal to the pay ment of a dividend at the rate of 94- per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock, and, if sanctioned by the proprietors, would make the dividend for the year 1858 9 per cent., leaving a balance of £3,000 for the next account.

For the Derby, 500 to 25 was taken about Merry man, and 1,000 to 50 would have been taken about Musjid; Electric would be backed for money at 20 to 1, but 100 to 6 continues to be the current offer against hire.
