John sa Scott, m u Samuel G ho ol w la a n s d of V , Ne watching,s came up with a poacher, named Retford, who immediately ran off. Scott followed in pursuit, and overtook him on a road known as the Green Mill-lane, where Golland stopped, and after some words, pointed his gun and shot Scott in the breast, and then rushed at him. While he was doing so Scott knocked him mown with a stick. Anderson, another watcher, then came up, and succeeded in capturing Gol land, who was subsequently lodged in the 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 dange rous conditron. About 11 o'clock the prisoner was taken to Scott's house, where the Rev. W. B. Simpson. with Mr. T.W.Denuin, magistrates' clerk's deputy, attended, and to ok depositions in the pre sencd of the prisoner, who was remanded until Saturday next. A man named Gabbitass was also apprehended the same morning, being supposed to have been in company' with the prisoner at the time of the affray. On Sunday evening Scott Mte lying i>a g most precarious state. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY t VINING, AUGUST 25, 1858. SPORTING NOTES. IRELAND. STOCKTON. lorksliiremen and the Yorkshire stables will be the chief supporters of the meeting which will take place at Stockton, to-rnor•row and Friday. The programme promises well, and altogether the gathering is not likely to be affected prejud,i -c; ally by its ftllowing so closely that of the Home Circuit. The littera, manner in which the proceedings will be con ducted will, too, undoubtedly contribute greatly to the success of the sport. A somewhat large field will contest the Cleveland Stakes, an•t the race will be regarded with much interest. Both Rainbow and Cavendish are amongst the nominations, and should they fight their York battles ever again, their encounter will excite much cirri °silty. The old joke that Cavendish is good to back, oh ! induces me to doubt Mr. Merry's colours. The representa tive of John Scott's stable—either Longrange or Hepatica —will win the Biennial Stakes for three-yr-olds. 'l'he weights for the Elton Juvonile Stakes have only just been placed before me. They seem to have been distributed with much care and impartiality. Raspberry has incurred a 51bs. penalty by bee Radcliffe win, but even that may not stop her. Still I shall trust to the colt by Vatican and the filly by Birdcatcher out of Blemish's dam. Gammon will perhaps win the Stockton Handicap, and the Members' Plate may enab'e Duneauy to reverse his York performance with Babylon. The Biennial Stakes will per haps be carried off by Cavendish. Malachite, who has been talked about in connection with next year's Derby, may be his most dangerous antagonist. The running for the Nur sery Plate will be regulated by the result of the two-year old races to-morrow. The filly by The Flying Dutchman, out of Pegotty's dam, is perhaps as much entitled to notice as anything. For the Middlesborough Handicap I shall select The Martlet and Tunstall Maid. A PRESH MAN. LAW INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY.) CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) A JUVENILE BILL DISCOUNTER-RAYNE V. MACKAY. The plaintiff in this action sought to recover a sum of money upon an overdue bill of exchange. The plaintiff is a minor, and Mr. Orgood, the chief clerk, objected to his appearing as plaintiff, but his Honour overruled the objec tion, as the defendant did not appear. The plaintiff said he had discounted the bill upon which he now sought to recover. His Honour.—Ah ! A young beginner in the money line. Did you see defendant sign the bill? The plaintiff—No, I did not see him sign it; but be must have done so or his name would not be there. (Laughter.) His Honour—You must be more careful for the future. You ought to prove handwriting. The plaintiff—Well, I did not think that was any business of mine; all I bad to do was to present the bill when it fell due, and get the money. (Laughtsr.) He had paid £9los. His Honour, referring to the back of the bill, and finding this to be the case, said he would take that as an admission. (To plaintiff)—Well, you had better take the balance in two payments. Plaintiff—Oh, no. I want the money, or I wouldn't have summoned him. (Laughter.) His Honour—Well, you had better take it in a month. Plaintiff—l'd rather have it at once. (Laughter.) His Honour—Well, but you have taken it iu portions yourself. Plaintiff—Yes ; but I want it all now. In fact, I want money, and that quickly. (Laughter.) His Honour—Well, you had better take it in a month. PRO3I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE HON. MAJOR YELYERTON. Thev Belfast Mercury, after stating the facts of this curious case, enters into an interesting investigeion 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 32A 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 such 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 testant 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, to the Rev. Bernard Mooney and to Miss Lulworth, as a Roman Catholic, we think admits of no doubt whatever ; and, although lie 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 sect 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 have the protection of the law ! This is not a question which 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 had been sworn in the ordinary form, or sworn as a Cove nanter, and given false testimony, when accused, to say—l was not of that religion when I took the oath, and, there fore, I did not commit perjury ? By going through the so lemnity, by adopting the form in that serious manner, he declares, in terms more strong than any words, that he is a 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." RESIGNATION OF COL. BROWNE. .... is announced this morning that Col. Browne, Commis sioner of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, has resigned. He is to be succeeded by Col. H. 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 fitting opportunity occurred. It is proper to add that he is widely respected, and that his resignation will he 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, be said : "Ladies and otPuLlsgerut drat fo r _ttu_e your generous web- COM - e—l return you thanks with all my heart." Having explained the nature and scope of the evening's lecture, be 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 (see ui Cie meet successful productions of tine famous writer; though, to say this, is Cu jui gi it by tea: high standard, and according to the fastidious taste which Mr. Dickens has himself created. The story, which is more legitimately suited for the fireside than the plat form, abounds with passages that in any other age and country would be considered marvels of wit and happy thought, enriching the book and establishing the fame of its author; yet the plot, stripped of its ennobling accessories and amplitude of detail, ptesents little more than the case of a naturally goodheaved man recalled through the memory of vivid dreams, and the thoughts which they give rise to, from the mists of avarice and sordid worldliness in which he had for years become enshrouded. Still what a wonderful structure has been built on such a slender foundation ; and who, having read this ghost story with attention to its deeper meaning, bad not derived both pleasure and advantage, as must be the case from any other of the works that the same gifted hand Las produced. Mr. Dickens's rendering was admirably calculated to develop the points of the narrative. Omi ting 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 the Carol is divided were easily and agreeably compressed into the period of two hours, which was judiciously fixed by the programme as thei limit of the recital, with a view to avoid all danger of wearying the audi ence. Mr. Dickens possesses naturally a good voice, marked at intervals with a slight pravincial accent ; and to an easy manner he has apparently added the careful study of tore and gesture so essential to an actor in every sphere. In parts, moreover, where such a course is sanctioned by the sense of the passage, his delivery is rendered additionally pleasing by the fact of his address ing his hearers across the table, merely as if relating an agreeable after-dinner anecdote. The changes of voice which be introduces as appertaining to different individuals are likewise attended for the most part with good effect ; but the endless variety of characters, and the constantly shifting nature of the scenes, render it too great a task for any single power to sustain throughout this polyphonic em bellishment. On a point of such general interest it may he permissible to state, that in person Mr. Dickens is what may be called a fine-looking man ; hut the traces of literary t are visible upon his countenance, and are rendered some what prominently apparent by his peculiar method of wear ing his beard. Flexibility of face, however, is not the less one of his principal characteristic s, and adding itself with effect to his vocal powers, is of incalculable assistance in his more dramatic passages. At the does as well as at the com mencement of the reading Mr. Dickens was most warmly applauded by the audience. The foregoing exceret is from Saunders'; but the other morning journals are not less warm in their praise of Mr. Dickens's wonderful ability. The Express, for instance, says: "Such clearness and flexibility of voice—such exhaustless mobility of feature—such power of eye—such naturalness of gesture (wherever gesture becomes at all requisite, and only there)—and, to crown all, a manner so exnttisitely un affected, and easy, and gracefully familiar ! What can one do more than say what has been already said, that Charles Dickens read hie Christmas Carol' gloriously. He brought to our ears the mumbling tones of old - Scrooge, the shi ill squeak of poor Tiny Tim, and the silvery counter-tenor of that plump sister of Scrooge's niece by marriage, upon whom Topper had cast an eye, and in respect of whom his conduct was so flagrantly suspicious during the game of Blind Man's Buff,' on that happy Christmas evening. He did this and everything else which could add point, and force, and expression to his story, and when he had con cluded was greeted with a shower of plaudits not less en thusiastic than that which welcomed him at the beginning." ARRIVAL OF CARDINAL WISEMAN IN IRELAND. The Freeman gives an account of the landing of this dig nitary at Kingstown. His arrival was quiet. That journal says:--" Yesterday his Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster arrived in Kingstown from Holyhead at nine o'clock. He was accompanied by the Hon. and Rev. Mon signor Clifford and Mr. Wiseman. On landing:at the pier he was received by Capt. Bellew, Mr. Burke, Loughrea, and the Rev. Mr. Derry, P.P., Eyrecourt, who offered his eminence, on the part of the Irish clergy and the people, their heartfelt congratulations on his visit to Ireland, an assurance which was repeated by all the gentlemen who were present on the occasion. his eminence wore the ordi nary clerical dress of a bishop. The passage leading from the steamer to the terminus was occupied by hundreds of persons, who were waiting in anticipation of the arrival of his eminence. He was met at the terminus by his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Dublin. The Hon. and Rev- Mon signor Talbot accompanied him to town." CALAMITOUS STORM. A letter in a Belfast paper saysthis day examined that portion of Ballinderry which was visited last week by the hail-shower that totally destroyed the crops of tenants. A more saddening spectacle cannot be estimate of ceived—it must be seen in order to form a j"st ei st t l hin t le an the nature and extent of the damage; angel of destruction lied spread his winogne won he blast, so complete is the destruction. Not a stalk o s f ° w n h t eat in about 120 acres is left standing, except an odd headless one. The wheat is beaten into the very earth, and rendered entirely useless for any purpose, except some little which may be used for feeding pigs, &c.; but the oats are altogether lost —they seem to have vani shed completely, and to have been carried off by the flood which succeeded the thaw, or to have been pelted under else soil. This picture of deetrne lion will not be considered overdrawn, when we remember that most of the hail which fell was literally large pieces of ice. One of the sufferers toll me, from a measurement he made at the time, that the average size of each hailstone was an inch in diameter, and of several shapes. Hirst of them were shaped like a double cone, and others in the form of a flat turnip, armed round the rim with spikes, which were very destructive. The shower was accompanied with great thunder and lightning. Altogether, the storm has been unprecedented in violence, and in the rapidity with which it accomplished its works of ruin. It traversed a iiiQ thnce of three mlleslong and half-a-mile broad,leaving nothing but desolation behind. Fortunately the greater portion of it passed over Loughs Beg and Neagh, or the emscquences must have been fearful. Mr. Moore, a very large farmer, cannot be said to have a single acre of cereal crop wo:th one s hilli n g. Nor is this all: turnips, potatoes, clover, peas, fruit, are t o equally destroyed, The f r uit trees stand Col. nand 1 the from tem ;tacit 19, by of all than .o the shott , and :ailed POLICE INTELLIGENC.E-(THIS DAY). THAMES.--ALLEGED ASSAULT BY A POLICE CON STABLE.—A poor man, understood to be a gun-maker, came before the Hon. G. C. 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 Han. 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. Norten—Very well, then, I will hear the application. A boy then got into the witness-box, 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 bad 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 knocked him down. He felt upon the guns and was much hurt. The Hon. Mr. 'Norton-:Take your summons. The father of the boy szid he did not know the name of the police-constable. Pol ee-sergeant Egerton, No. 29 H, said that Mr. Steed, the superintendent of_the.l division, would furnish the name of the alleged offender. FLAGRANT OUTRAGE BY Two CAR-DRIVERS:—ThOS. Bartram 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 tile_nrAtge. and his clothes torn from his person by the prisaers, who made their emape. Police-constable Venables, No. 141 IE, said that after the assaults complained of the prisoners committed a violent as -a-l' rn a :c,p,ctablo wanted wuntaLk 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 be had a sitnation 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.

HEARTLESS CASE OF FRAUD AND FORGERY.---OD Monday, at the Walhall petty sessions, George Wilton, a respectable-looking man, who described himself as a clerk, was charged with forging a letter of credit tar £5O, under very heartless circumstances. Wilton had been a station master on the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, and had become aware that a farmer at Eaton Constantine, near Vireltington, in Shropshire, had got a son in Australia, for whom he was advertising in a M e lbourn e paper. Wilton then procured a letter, which purported to come from his cousin, in Australia, in whose service he said was the prodigal youth. The letter stated that the boy was re pentant, was suffering from melancholia, and unless his friends could gratiiy his wish to return home, the writer feared that his intellect would give way. Representing himself as Mr. William Maitland, an Australian mer chant, come to Pigland to purchase Birmingham goods, Wilton called upol the distressed family, and delivered the letter. The old nail said he bad a bill to meet hut thought he could raise £2). Wilt on p ressed for the kso, which' it was alleged was equired. The boy's sister then said that she had saved as much money, and generously offered, to give it up to entitle the boy to come back. Yielding to the " merchant's" desire to take the money in Bank of Eng land notes, the rung lady desired her bankers thus to ac commodate her. They, however, prudently suggested that it should he sent - ty a letter of credit upon a banker at Mel bourne. The le ter ef credit was written, and the sister added expression; of affection on the same piece of paper. These latter Wilon cut off, and tried to obtain the £5O in Birmingham, representing himself as the person to whom it was addressed. He could not succeed, and applied at Messr:=. Duignas and Co.'s bank, Walsall. There lie said his name was Hebert Thomas (the name of the youth), and so signed the noe. He was then desired to call again. The telegraph was out in motion with Wellington, and the cheat discovered:.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this com pany was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern— Mr. Daniell, the chairman of directors, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, expressed his regret that this, like most other railways, had felt the effects of the prevailing depression, which had very materially affected the development of traffic on the line. The railway had 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 £291. 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, £32,999; North London Railway Company, £439. These sums, added to the amount credited in the revenue account (£21,789), 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 £694 to the credit 'of the revenue account. The di rectors took counsel's opinion upon the agreements with the Newry and Enniskillen Company, and were sorry to find it practically adverse to le ga l p rocee di ngs aga i nst t h e com pany under its new designation of " Newry and Armagh R a ilway," but the d i rectors are n ever th e l ess equally sale fled that, however defective the agreements were in legal formality, they were both prudently devised an d h ones tly co nsistent with the unitedinterests of the two companies, a conclusion' at which the directors believe th e N ewry and must necessarily arrive bef ore t h e merits Armagho that Company can be possibly developed. railway 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 o'. 2d., while the working expenses are less than those for the corresponding period by £304 Os. ld. thus leaving an in ct £1, 4 933 Os. 3d. in the profits of " the kalf-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 fallisg off; owing to the ,dept eased state of trade. The net profits of the half-year, after paying working expenses, interest on loans, and &viands on preference shares f amount to £14,029 15s. 7d. To this is to be added the balance of £3,E6G 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 Gs. 3d. Out of this the directors recommend a divi , end of 335. 9d. on each £75 share, and of lls. 31 on each £25 share, being at the rate of4l per cent. per annum. This dividend will amount to £12,755 Ws. 3d. and will leave a balance of £4,840 10s. to be carried to the reserve and reproduction fund. The shareholders will be glad to learn thLt the arbitration so long, pending between the Post-al - ice 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 hell-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, ;nd 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 ineeting, 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 hag been replaced, the expense of which has been charged to the reproduction fund. A con siderable sum has been expended ou 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- • mereial 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 ga forth eastwards. Manehever will shortly have her correspend cuts 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—Sr. Petersburg, on the 20th of August, had news from the Peiha 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 of June. St. Petersburg, therefore, AexeLto P ekZt power, dominion, life, a month Is as a thousand years. Fancy Ve eficet of a runtora with Tt wissia Ve.kwn known by Cell% it liatta_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 cur Royal Excitan.rzr. A puliticiau or a merchant who operates with Luc odds Of a month's early news against him is like a savage • with a bow and atrow 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 wiles 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 uureasonajilc 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 ne 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? How 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 ( iazette, which informed us that an Elibassy, sant to con dole with the Itusrian Court on the death of the Emper,r Nicholas, had just returned; but that information did not necessarily imply smooth roads and easy intercourse. Here we have an ittstaece of .6,000 miles traversed in 50 days. We will assume that the despatch arrived at Pekin in the form of a telegram, and that Moscow was the nearest point 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 fur find o ver a prepared Count-y. But our surprise is to the 24 hours a-day, ore very fast work for Tartar e.rie u th rs at if he too k th e dir t ct Country is to prepared. The courier, route, must have struck northwards from Pekin, and, cross ing the Great Wall of China, must have alvaaced into the vast sandy desert which interposes between the inha , rate the Russian from the Chnions. Ile must bited parts of China and those i mountainnese domiianges that sepa have traversed this de sert in an oblique direction, and, sur mounting. the hills that form its north - we , tern boundary, r li have .e fu r ridden ae shirt rest the e in Turkistan. Coursing downsteppes of the Khirghis, stop phieziu,ps e t h the valleys of the tributaries t.=, the Sea of Aral, 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 Wigs and the Don as he passed ou his now easy cOur.e along the prepared routes to his capital. Was this his road ? Or did he strike up northwards fram Pekin until be reached some Russian settlement upon that winding and mysterious river, the Atnoor, about which we hear so much and know so little ? The Americans 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 ci the latitude of Pekin, and that the Russians have appropriated the great portion of Chinese territory which is included by that southward sweep. It was by that route Count Puik.tin 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 finuadering, defenceless empire. The moral of this is, that we Westerns must bestir our selves, or we shall be shut out of the new game. 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 became they are beautiful ; but there is nothing u the earth or under the sea that we cannot accomplish o if it offer a good dividend on a large capital. There seems to have been a hesitationabout the chance of making profits by carrying Messages, and meantime every one hasoutstripped us. The French have covered all Northern AfAca with their wires; how far Russia has 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 Amedean States talk hourly with each other with, these tongues of lightning; yet we, to whom rapid communication is as the b r eath of cur 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 S rain. of Ma lacca and the China Sea.

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, sincerelyvvished. 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 ou. 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 beard 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 bad 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 thef 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 tent. 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 accounts so furnished have not been adopted by the di rectors, who claim a considerable addition thereto. 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 us2.rdance will the agreement ft.M 44 t to 9continue the e u unauthorfseO n th ereby.i They have jointly com menced the necessary legal proceedings tot ftstn ,:i.toinß their rightvantrfOrtlettning - ttfraiities and functions of the' joint committee. The capital account shows that £2,e29,905 had been received, and £2,223,395 expended, leaving a balance of £6,000. WESTERN AND BRENTFORD. The construction account of this company shows that £115,M5 had been received to the 30th June last, and £114,451 expended, leaving a balance of £1,064. In addi tion to this, the s'sm of £17,630 is in course of receipt on sliares, including calls on contractors' shares, which are paid as the works proceed, and shares agreed to be taken in payment fur land. NORTH-WESTERN. The directors, in their report, state that the receipts for the half-year are £22,332, and the expenses £12,216, leaving a balance of £10,133, against £10,379 for the same period of 1857. The preference charges absorb the sum of £9,867, and the balance, £435, is carried forward to the credit of the next account. The mortgage debt has been reduced by £2,540 during the half-year. The directors are now book ing passengers through, via the Midland line, to and from li.ing's-cross station, and express their, conviction that the opening of a Midland station in London will improve the traffic of the railway. DUBLIN AND WICKLOW. The report of the directors of this company states that the earlier part of the half-year was still marked by the late commercial pressure, and the consequent general depres sion. 'Nevertheless the accounts exhibit an increase of traffic as compared with the corresponding half of last year. The receipts on the Kingstown line for the year ending the 30th of June last amounted to £59,331, at.d for the year ending 30th of June, 1857, to £56,081, showing an increase of £2,350. The gross receipts having exceeded £55,000, the Kingstown Company became entitled to the contin gent rent upon such excess, in addition to the ordinary fixed rent. The revised fares on the Kirgst )wu line produced £2,686 of that increase. Tne tc.til traffic receipts fur the half-year on the Wicklow lice amounted to £13,016, and for the corresponding half of 1837 to £13,499, showing an increase cf £417. Tile general summary shows that the total receipts on both lines for the past half-year amounted to £40,587, and the wcrliing 'expanses to £17,201, leaving £23,386, of which £17,649 has been paid to the Kingstown Company and their late officers, leaving £.,737. To this is added £9,269 from the previous half-year, making £15,006. Deducting £8,642 for interest, rents, rates, and taxes during the ball-year, and £4,772 for the February dividend, there remains a net balance of £1,591. The interest to be paid in future by the comrlatly on the Government lean has been reduced front 5 per cell.*. to' 4 per cent. per annum. In the last half-yearly report it was ehown that the debts of the com pany bad been reduced by £91,147 since the issae of pre ference shares. The debts (exclusive of the Government loan and debentures) remaining at the close of that ha'f-year amounted to £117,139. These were reduced at 30th June last to £73,C92, showing 'a further reduction of £44,047. At the same time the new terminal station has been in active progress, and other works have been completed, all of which have been paid for as they proceeded. Out of the balance of £1,591, the directors propose that a dividend, at the rate of per cent. per annum, be declared on the calls paid on the - preference shares, nmounring to about £67 leaving a balance of £B l6 to be carried forward. The capital account of the Wicklow showed that £934,529 had been received, and £932,454 expepded, leaving a balance of £2,075. The revenue account for the half-year ending June 39 showed that £14,165 had been received, and £8,852 expended, leaving a balance of „E 5,313, out of which £4,730 was deducted for interest, leaving a balance of £583. NEW BRANCH OF GRANTO THE CALEDONIAN TO As the works on the new branch line from the Caledonian Railway to Grantou have now made very considerable pro gress, a few facts in connection w ith the objects for which it was projected and the cou rse it will describe may not be un interesting. Some ten or eleven y ears ago an application was made to parliament for powers to construct a line almost identical with the one now making, but these powers expired four or five years subsequently without being acted upon,' with the exception of the cutting of the Haymarket Branch, which forms a connexion between the Caledonian and th e Edin burgh and Glasgow Railways, and by which access might b e gained for the traffic on ... the former rail way to the Waverley-bridge Station. This line has been completed some years, and;although perfectly workable, has scarcely, through disputes between the companies 's to station accommodation, been made use of up to The Haymarket branchtliepraesent e d iverges from the Edinburgh and Glasgow line a little to the west of the Haymarket sta tion, and joins the Caledonian line about half a mile on this side of Slateford. The -line now in progress is so far a con tinuation of the Haymarket branch that it commences at a point on that branch near the Haymarket station (formerly the only Edinburgh station on the Glasgow line), and pro ceeding crosses the Edinburgh and Glasgow line by a viaduct, the highroad by a bridge between Coltbridge and Donald son's Hospital, and strikes off to the west of Craigleith Quarry and Blackball. At this point the original plan has been slightly modified. As formerly contemplated, the branch here took a more easterly direction than it now does, its course at present running from near Craigleith to the western breakwater of Granton Harbour. The Duke of Buccleuelt—who, it is perhaps necessary to mention, is per , sonally interested in the line—has already commenced pre parations on a large scale, by erec.ing cranes, &c., on the breakwater,witb a view to facilitate the siaipment of minerals, gas coal, ironstone, &c., for exportation, and the convey ance of imports, which for the most part will consist of flax and hemp from the Baltic. The exports will be mostly from Lanark and Ayrshire. The construction of the line is adapted for goods traffic; but should the directors commence the conveyance of passengers, this would not necessitate any important alterations. The works, now being pushed on by a staff of nearly two hundred labourers, extend to a good distance beyond Craigleith, though commenced only so recently as the 17th of May. The excavations in Lord Murray's lands of Murrayfield are the deepest on the line—namely, about 35 feet; the embankments on the lands of Blinkbonny (the property of Trinity Hospital) are being energetically or werded ; and navvies itro amiss busy upon the grounds of +~^' i
