THE MAGAZINES, &c. BL A CKWOOD. Mega is adorned this tuouth by, at least, three very remarkable contributions. Another part of Christopher under Csnvass" No. 9, attests in eloquent accents, that the intellect of Professor Wil son is still characterised by much of its pristine rigour, while under the mellowing influences of age his taste h as b ecome more then ever exquisitely subtle in its appreciativeness. Two separate conver sations between North, Talboy s , an d S ewar d, the first in the camp at Cladich, the second in the van - --_-(th oug h hew the second can come under the t i t l e of Dies Bor ea l es , see i ng t h a t t h e " T ime " i s " Mid night" we cannot conjecture)—imparts to the reader a ."bier ansly s i s o f some o f t h e more majestic beau of the muse o f M i l ton t h an can b e extr:cted m the whole of the weak and elaborated criticisms ° f Arldiso The •about "Paradise L„,„ o• conversations here referred to would have rejoiced the heart Oth, f ii!lehard son — not t h e nove l is t, but the friend a . Crom ve , Cromwell Secretary. Next of the three ar l" of importance in regard to p osition, i • foremost in point of interest, is the continuation o Sir 13 alwer Lytton's glorious "Novel," rec ountin g die the fortunes of the ill-fated Nora, the mi ser a ble Egerton, the eccentric B.i c cabocca, the bril e"nt Violante, the gentle Helen, the dreaming li "rd, the practical Richard Avenel, honest squire Hazledean, simple-hearted Parson Dale, poor d eed John Burley, good-natured Dr. Morga n, and a ~,c r osvd of oth er personages as diversified as any ficti "us multitude ever grouped together since the time w hen Le Sage penned his incomparable novel of novels--" Gil Blip." The mystery surrounding the career of Audley Egerton—pointing him out as the father of Leonard, the destroyer of Nora, and the betrayer of Harley rEstrange—is all explained with v ery masterly lucidity and with a natural and per suasive pathos that every warm-hearted reader will at Once recognise and bow down to as irresistible. 9 1 e ChM of the present instalment—bringing us, we fear, to the very verge of the conclusion—!s a start g incident that renders us breathless with anxiety for the fate of the beautiful Violante. The third of the more noticeable papers in Blackwood for August is the last article in the number, a political paper— very enthusiastic, very vigorous, and very mistaken, 1 , 11 which a va ri e ty of chickens are counted before they are hatched—the writer exulting somewhat loudly on what he believes to be the triumph of Lord Derby's Government. The argument is a " pendant" to a former one in which the elections were looked forward to with many sanguine anticipations. If the author of the paper is mistaken in regard to his facts, as we believe him to be, he is at any rate mar vellously clever in the manner of their arrangement. In this respect he must be allowed to have written, per haps, the ablest statement yet put forward in behalf of the present Administration. A second instalment of li ikotie Stewart" reveals yet more plainly the skill of the story-teller. A pleasant gossipping contribution is the one entitled " The Moor and the Loch," and hardly less agreeable the criticism headed "From Stamboul to Tabriz." Besides these, Maga contains curious chapter upon " gold," in reference to the important interests of Taxation, Emigration, and Poreign Dependence. F RA SER. Under the comprehensive and suggestive title of " sold and Emigration," the writerof the introductory article in Fraser for August has grouped together a very valuabl e store of facts relating to the precious metal— espec i a ll y interesting to all whose inclinations are bent towards Australia. Among the most ex traordinary of the particulars here commented on, is the astonishingly rapid increase during the last ten or eleven years in the produce of gold—from 5,000,000 in 18 40, to 17,500,000 in 1850, and, still mor7, in 1851 to ‘22so o,ooo—and this, according to Wyld a estimate, an authority beyond the chance of contradiction. Fraser ingeuiously remarks upon the effects of gold cla prices, that— `' The invention of the London Clearing. house, which settles monetary transactions avera g in g three millions d aily, by means of two hundred thousand pounds in Ink•notes, was equivalent to the o p enin g of gold mines Etr rich er than those of California and AustrAlia. ,, The influence of gold is subsequently spoken of at Borne length as affording a wholesome incentive very recently to emigration. . At first th e rush was to California,2 across the isthmus of Pa nama, or round Cape Horn, between adventurers from England and _ar . nerica..-.IIOW the . struggle has been to reach the I :el_glabourhood of Bathurst by crowded vessels of the' leaving the port of London and the coast of ii United States.

" A Fortnight in North Wales' - makes a pleasant read able_,Paper enough. After which we have a some what elaborated review of the " Memoirs of Lord L,angdale." The" Autobiography of Captain Digby i`e lrai ld," as our Yankee brethren say, " progresses, 'Jut it s Progress just now happens to be rather slow and uninteresting. The " Sketches of Rome" dis play p erso nages to u s suc h as the statesman Azeglio, the preacher Ventura, and the demagogue Ciceroac euio• " Uncle Tom's Cabin," the name of the closing ar ticle, is simply n othin g more nor less than Mrs. o otowe's work reviewed. Prior to this Fraser contains 4 critical chapter about " Art and the Royal Aca demy," and a series of running commentaries on Austrian poets, including such names as those of Lemiu, Seidl, Bauernfeld, Castelli, and Grillparzer I TAI T. We miss Thomas de Qaincey—not long ago first in the list of Tait's contributors. Where is he ? Why has he no pension ? It were sad for a man of unquestionable genius like the Opium Eater, to be forgotten. As ancther instalment of the series of Papers about "The Government of Continental Europe," the comments on the kingdom of Prussia are this month brought to a conclusion. Several stories, constituting magazine articles somewhat of the old fashioned style, light, gossipping, and sometimes sparkling into a very good semblance of vivacity, lend their charm to the current number—such arti cles as "The Sanctuary," or as " The Loves of an Apothecary," or as " Old Roads and Old Travellers:, The last-mentioned is this time descriptive of the Coaching era, and recalls many a pleasant gallop over the crisp macadamized highroads of England to our recollection. Several of the criticisms in Tuit are " usual minute and yet comprehensive. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. Bentley commences with a memoir of Loy d Jeff Pry, With a portrait. Professor Creasy's history of " Un successful Great Men" reaches its sixth number, with that of " The wise and chivalrous Montcelm, the last and best of the Paladins of France beyond the western wave," as his biographer styles him. A chapter on rats is highly interestin, in which the character, babas, and general history of this obnoxious animal are caretully explained ; few persons, notwith standing its übiquity, are acquainted with the origin or use of the rat, who is not a native of this country, and, indeed, the author goes so far as to state his belief that it has emigrated from Persia, and gradu ally colonised the whole of Europe. The tale of " A Race for an Heiress" is poor, and endeavours to show that when an heiress is in question all feelings of honour, affection, and truth must be necessarily set aside. • COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE. "Notes on the War with Barmah," by an Officer of theßengal Army, is continued. " Musings and Cruising about t h e Goodwin Sauds," by Robert Por 'as, contains some account of the system on which Z r "k 2 ge is carried on, the behaviour of the Deal cla hnen when vessels aro in distress on the sands, and other par ticulay. We have also a history of 'aPAn and its neighbours. A letter from Lieutenant- Colonel B eam i s 4 on Captain N o rton's projectiles can in to prove attractive to all who take any interest the long range of fire-arms which has crelted t hat a sensation of late, and we feel ashamed tot hink e nat . through the prejudice and pr.rty feeling which z ... i l3 ted (and still exists) in the committee at Wcol . rch,.that foreign States reap the benefit of the die wveries and labours of our countrymen.

DUBLIN. UNI VERSITY. A story entitled "Clough Fiona; or, the Stone of Destiny," : wrought out of a portion of the materials formed by the notes and memoranda remaining with the surviving brother of " The O'Hara Family," is commenced in the number for the present month. " Sir Jasper Carew" is - continued, and Jonathan Freke Slingsby contributes a delightful medley, un der the head of "A Midaummer Day Dream.; or, a Mesmeric Myth." Most readable is the paper which carries us through the pages of :that glorious old tra7 yeller, Sir John Maundeville, and interesting as well written. is the notice of Guizot's " Corneille and his Times," and " Sbakt , peare and his Times." The other contributions are of average excellence. " cellanea Literaria" is very well worth perusing. A random extract will serve partly to denote its nature : " Humbug, which is in universal use, if not classically admissible into an English dictionary, comes toques tionably from Hume of the Bog, a Scotch laird (so called from his estate), who was celebrated in Edinburgh so ciety, during the reigns of William and Anne, for the marvellous tone of his stories, in which he indulged so commonly that they became proverbial; and thus, a very long shot was always designated, a regular Flume of the Bog,' Bence, by simple contraction, Humbug." Epitaphs and elegiao inscriptions are also brought on the tapis, and the deathbed jests of celebrated men. In " Sir Jasper Carew," is one of the truest sayings on record, viz.:— " No man ever knows when, where, or whom he'll marry. It's all nonsense, planning and speculating about it. You might as well look out for a soft spot to full in a steeple-chase. You come smash down in the very middle of your speculations." AINS WOR7 11. " The Lancashire Witches" have reached the fourth chapter of the third book in this miscellany. They are followed by some sketches of forest line, which describe " A Fox Hunt," " Gipsies," and " Taking the Deer." Two chapters of Miss Addi son's tale of " Florence Hamilton" are given, and "The Days of Margaret of Parma" ape continued. There are various other tales and sketches, and a story in verse taken from Boccacio's "Decameron." THE ART JOURNAL. This splendid periodical contains, as usual, a num ber of splendid engravings; among them the statue of " Highland Mary," by B. E. Spence, the bead of " A Persian Warrior," by William tty, and " The R.ffiA for the Watch," by W. Bird—the two latter paintings in the Vernon Gallery. Several minor illus trations, such as the specimens of German Artists,- and the drawing of " Spes," as imagined by Professor Mucke of Dusseldorf—lend their embellishment to the pages of the publication. Karel du Jardin is the " Great Master of Art," whose works are represented this month in a series of charming woodcuts. The letter-press is more than usually intelligent. THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE AND HISTORICAL REVIEW. The criticism on the " Life of Dr. Chalmers," by his son-in-law, the Rev. William Hanna, is here con cluded. In the " Wanderings of an Antiquary" there is a detailed account of Pevensey Castle. There is an interesting chapter on " Godfrey William Leibnitz," by Francis Harwell, which must be wel come to all students. The article on a revived manu facture of coloured glass used in ancient windows, which was read at the meeting of the Royal Insti tute of British Architects, gives a great deal of previously unknown discoveries on the methods used by the ancients. It has been ascertained that the purple blue was formed by cobalt, and not lapis tezuli, as hitherto asserted. In the " Correspondence of Sylvanus Urban" there is a variety of anti• (parkin researches and curious accounts. LE FOLLET. This journal contains as usual three charming plates and several tales and verees. The best of these is " Widdy Carroll's Lament," which describes the sorrow of a poor Irishwoman at selling her pig before emigrating. THE BID GR APHIC ALMAGAZIN E. Vol. H.—Nos. 7 and 8. These two numbers contain, among other interesting lives, biographies of 'William Wordsworth, Joseph Hume, and Thomas Ingoldsby. THE COLONIAL AND ASIATIC REVIEW. This is the second number of this magazine, which is entirely devoted to the consideration of the affairs of the colonies. "Australia and its Gold Fields" occupy a prominent place, and most of the remaining articles treat of India and its inhabitants. The de soription given of "A Happy Valley" in New Zea land is most attractive to the adventurous, and "A Treatise on the Screw Propeller" will interest the scientific. THE ENGLISHMAN'S MAGAZINE. No. I. This is the first number of a magailne which is intended " to supply the long-felt want of a monthly periodical of sterling merit, at the very low price which the present facilities for cheap production now render practicable. It is written in a very superior style, and there are articles on several interesting subjects. Among these may be noticed a biography of the late Mr. Shelf, and a literary parallel of Pas cal, Dante, and Milton. It will therefore b e seen th a t it is devoted to the consideration of subjects of a dif ferent class to the trifling and ordinary ones which usually occupy the pages of cheap miscellanies. We trust that, as the editor observes, a large sale alone can make such a project succes-ful, that his hope may be realised in its being favourably received by the public. FREAKS OF IMAGIIVATIOIV. Part 1. The present number of this batch of original tales, by Jocundus Steelnib, comprises "The Lawyer's Clerk," `The Unjustly Accused," and "The Doc tor and his Patients." The work, which is rife with excellent matter, will be concluded in the next num ber, the last and eighth story being "A Trip to the Moon." MISCELLANEOUS. Foremost among the miscellaneous periodicals still awaiting mention at our hands—the Eclectic Review is this month, in regard to its contents, sufficiently diversified and attractive ; the most genial is the little memorial criticism on the "Life and Poetry of Delta," though at times the reviewer becomes rather painfully pragmatical. Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, stored with a variety of articles, some of them in the highest degree meritorious, has still in Household Words a formidable, and each successive month, a more and more popular contemporary.

SCOUT: ,H FETE AT HOLLAND-PARK. Rationality is the distinguishing characteristic of our northern countrymen, and we are glad to state that the vast-responsibility which has been incurred by the committee of management in this case will ba met by the warmest support. The gathering under the joint management of the Scottish Society of London and the Hanover-park Club, on Thursday and Friday next, in Lord Holland's Park, at Ken sington, promises, by the of amusement which-fills to overflowing the programme, to be one of the twist attractive fetes of the season. Every sort and ilescription of sport and pastime, encient, me diaeval, and modern, will be exhibited. The dance, of course, will form a great feature, and a grand tournament, with exhibition of the ancient sport of , hawking, will be added to the immense list of attrac tions. Altogether, the Scottish fete promises to be one of the most attractive gatherings set planned by the spirit of the northern clubs, yet thrown open to the southerns and their own countrymen. Lord and Lady Holland have issued cards of invi tation to more than 300 of the nobility, gentry, &c., to a grand banquet, to be given by them on Thursday night,- in that part of the grounds in the immediate vicinity of the house, known as the New Winter Garden. The trees will be illuminated by from 6,000 to 8,000 variegated lamps, and there will also be a grand display of French and Italian lamps and lanterns. The banquet will include a ball and supper, and-during the evening a number of the best Scot tiFh daneers Will perform ; and other amusements will be provided by the noble host on this occasion. The metropolitan correspondent of the Inverness Conner says of this approaching fete—" The pro gramme is of portentous magnitude, and announces pastimes and sports, ancient and modern, sufficient, one would think, to occupy a couple of months rather than a couple of days for the due performance. This display is to be the 'fête of the season,' and is less of a Scottish national than of a cosmopolitan charac ter. No doubt there are to be the old pastimes of foot-racing, hammer-throwing, caber-tossing, stone putting. But there are to be added specimens of wrest ling, exhibiting the systems of Westmoreland and Cumberland, per contra those of Devon and Corn wall; French cane and baton; racing in sacks, in wheel-barrows, blind-folded, on stilts per contra of hap-shackled feet and legs. Besides are there not to be the rolly-polly and the three-legged races, with the merits of whioh most people are unacquainted ? Then there'are to be specimens of the English horn pipe, the Scottish reel, and the Irish jig.; morns and maypole -dances ; chivalric tournaments on horseback; variety of feats in every kind of sword and target exercise ; tilting, jousting, and quintain—the last an ancient game which has lain on the shelf perdu since Queen Elizabeth's time, and now to be roused from its long slumber. But perhaps the most attractive affair is to be a hurdle race by six large monkeys: How it has come to pass that there is no room for the encouragement of bagpipe music, of Highland home made dresses, of the national game of the camack, I cannot explain. Have the six large monkeys caused this omission ? We hope that the fete may be as successful as its projectors con reasonably desire." The " six large monkeys" are from the stud of the celebrated Flexmore, who will bring them to the post in first-rate condition and splendid training, THE _ — CI?E MORNE GARDENS. The annual fete in aid of the Licensed Victuallers' Schools commenced yesterday, and is continued to-day, in Cr, morne Gardens. By the instrumentality of the Licensed' Victuallers' School, the solid advantages of a good educe/ion are imParted to hundreds of children, who otherwise would be left depe ndent on th e charity of s trangers. With the view of increasing the funds, and thereby extending the usefulness of this noble institu tion,unusuall it has been cmitomary for some years pa s t to se lect some place of popular reso rt for th e purpose of holding the anniversa r y fet es, and this y ear t he governor a nd committee selected Cremorne Gardens, th e sp i r i ted p ro prietor of which place, Mr. T.B.Simpson, a t once met the proposal•in the i nostliberal manner. Cr emorne was large amount was thereby added to the funds of the Y once before the Beene o f similar fetes, and an schools; but the file of this year eclipses all preceding ones in magnitude and splendour. Of the gardens it cannot be needed to tell the most of our readers that they have now an European reputation, not only as the most delightful place of recreation within the confines of the metropolis, but as really outvying all other establishments in Europe, not ex cepting the Chateau des Fleurs and the Jardin %bin e of the Parisians. Nature has done her utmost fur this charming spot, and the beautiful grounds are now dressed in their most attractive garb—the verdure of the lawns, the brilliance of the parterres, the luxuriance of shrubs and exotics, and the many-hued foliage of the lofty trees, all lending their fascinating aid to this scene of enchantment. Nor have the valuable accessories of art been neglected. Season after season have extensive alterations and additions been made, until it appeared last year, the year of the Exhibition, that perfection could no further go. But the zeal of the director is un tiring, and during the recess numerous improvements of the most costly and valuable nature - were introduced. Amongst the rest water has been made to lend its brilliant and refreshing assistance, and fountains of great elegance, throw their pleasing jets, while grottoes of surpassing beauty, and statuary of great artistic excellence, meet the eye at every turn. The plan of Cremorne seems to be, that the round of pleasurable excitement shall never slacken. Amusement follows amusement with endless variety and novelty, so that from the opening of the gates till midnight there is a perpetual succession of entertainments. Never, cer tainly. were more varied or attractive amusements offered to the pleasure-seeker. Music, of the first ex• cellence, the principal orchestra being conducted by that great maestro, Bosisio—dancing al fresco, on the lawn, and on the great polygonal platform—a vocal and in strumental concert, followed by the black burlesques o f an inimitable troupe of Ethiopian harmonists, and the classic attractions of a fairy ballet, with Milano and the Cushnies—Soullier's Clique Oriental, studded, not with well-trained horses only, but with ostriches and monkeys that rival the noble animal; whilst the human artistes, M'Calluns, De Bach. Leon Soullier, Clementine th e Matchless, Devani, Mackney, the Italian Brothers, Bte. &c., are really inimitable in thei r de p artments . I n addi tion to this, are the performances ot a number of K afir Chiefs, from the scene of the present Kafir war, who, according to the opinion of some contemporaries, are of themselves the most interesting exhibition at present in London, besides cosmoramas, dioramas, shooting, bowl ing, Chinese games, &c. &c., with sports whose name is legion. And with all this, we have, out of doors,da ne j eg on the tight rope by Violante; Rocin z and his dogs ; young Rochez, the infant sprite; Machasey, the negro melodist and imitator; Devani, the wonderful contor tionist; De Bach, with his marvellous ascents n n t h e globe and wheel; and t he Italian Brothers' intrepid per tormances on the double trapeze, 70 feet high. is a sufficient guarantee for .the splendour and excellence of the pyrotechnic displays, to say that they are under the direction of Chevalier Mortram, Mr. Simpson has availed himself of the occasion of these fetes to christen a new balloon, just . made for him, whi c h took its fits, public aerial trip yesterday, and just prior to starting, the ceremony of naming it " The Prince of Wales," in honour of their royal patron, was performed tr a s*l3,o respected ,Governor of the Institution, Mr. sit. cock; in addition to which ono of the senior pupils re a d a short address, written for the occasion. From this o ur readers may imagine that this file may be pronounced one of no ordinary character, and that the attractions of Crrniorne have never been developed to more signal ad vantage, to greater gratificetion to the public, or higher credit to the spirited and esteemed proprietor. After tini delivery of the address the National Anthem was sung in splendid style by some professionals engag e d for the occasion, at the conclusion of which the vast ma. chine was cut 100 SP, and ascended into the realms e t space amid the vociferous cheers of all present. It was really a glorious and a most exciting scene. Lieutenant Chambers and his attendant stood up in the balloon, and waved their flags and banners until they were completely out of view. The gardens, at this moment, were thronged in every part; indeed, there could not have been less than 12,000 persons present, and among the company we ob served Duke Edward of Saxe-Weimar and suite, th e Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Earl ot Munster, Lord Halliburton and party, and a great number of fashionables.

SlR,— U n der the neve management this meet i ng has become eq ua l to most o f the crack provincials, the es, mo ney siren thi s year exceeding 1,5001., and the St between w t e e ti m fi o f st y p c s n r il t, th e l e a s :, With some more expected, a first rate reunio n must be the consequ-nce. with the The performances commence to-morrow sixtyhi 'llo.lrus'3ine entries; s neiVb neighbourhood rthh:orde are B T r r i i s a t l o S i ta m k i e l e s . of Its sou s, just each, on th w e i t c h ard 3 s o t ha dded, e whole over o the e f w the entries may s t e re; the race, however, I fancy, will e confined to th e Li tt l e Savage, Plurnstead, Catalpa, a" Knight of the Thi.el e , the last named two finding their w a i y ,h h e o ß m r e i gtihrtiotnand Stakes,secon out of its t wen ty- s ix ee l will have Bra ce Hombur g, H arps i chor d , P perhaps Pnlegethon,_ Lchia, St am f or d, Curnelius, acceptances, and ncas' Hampton, Snarry, and another or two at the post. The starting Of the trio of top Weights is somewhat impro bable, and sho u ld th ey put in an appearance I cannot consider thei r c h ances as being good enough to win- Hesse Homburg at 7 st 121 b, makes Harpsichord, Pale' gethon, and in f ac t a ll i n the scale down to Phlegm, 6st 121 b, quite saf e . T he chance of the last named must be first ra t e , and if she does . not, turn cut to be th e a b solute winner she oug ht to be discarded as not being worth her training. The Brah min at 6st 101 b is hopeless. Ischia at 6st 81b disposes satisfactorily of any chance that Stamford, Hugo, Ethelwolf, or any other of the light w e ights, with the exceptexception of Snarry, ismay Possess. S narry, w i t h a f e ather ohi o sst 11b, ,to all i ntents and purposes, l et loose; and if he cannot accomplish anything in his present essay, his owner had better desist from engaging him further. In short, I expect to see PuLaclaa, 'senile, and HESSE HOMBURG, in the first, second, and third positions, Hampton and Snarry being the next two. It would be next to impossibl e to select the starters for the Pavilion Plate, and picking out the winner is consequently made more difficult; but to m y f a ncy, Bor deaux at Bst 41b, Timid F awn 71b, and Sharavogue 6st 71b, are as well in any oth ers. The Brighton Nursery St a k es will probably have a field of nine or ten at the least, cons i sting of Tamerlane, Pre vention, Bridget, Cuck oo fill y, Corybantes Deerhound, Pantomime, Gloomy, Knavery, and the Pearl. Tamerlune's chance at 7st 131 b, I consider to be completely out, as I do Bridget at 7 s ae t nr 9 de i s h t . c hot sheath t k heirs fi c l h l o y aunt well probably settledpo b t a ob b y l b y Pe A r f u Na n r.

The Goodwood settling went off quietly, but was not altogether satisfactory, several parties ri quilting time, and one, after he had arranged a few small accounts, having suddenly disappeared.

A general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at Paris on , July 29, in one of the rooms - connected with the terminus at the Barriere du Maine, M. Rive], the president, in the chair. Near him were seated the following directors :—the Duke de Noeilles, M. de l'Espee, M. Jervais, M. 'lo belia M. Blount, an d M. Si mons ; also, M.Thibau dean, the counsel of the company. M. Benoist d'Azy and Mr. Reed were appointed to the office of scruta tors ; and the meeting having been declared duly constituted, M. Coutin, the secretary, proceeded to read the report. This document consists of two parts, one relating to the construction of the transverse branch line from Mezidon to Le Mans, to connect the Caen line with the Western; and the other giving an account ofthe results of the working of th e W estern line for months,_ comprised between poi the the five 28 and June point, - 30. On the first a sketch of the various pro jects report hich gives had been proposed for the execution of the line in to que stion, re and the reasons which had determined th e Board sect all the offers made to it to act with others, an d to claim for the Western Company the exclusive right to the proposed railway, so as to enable the Caen and Cher bourg line to give full satisfaction to the wants of the populations of Normandy and Brittany, from being placed in favourable communication with the Western line. It shows how the pretensions of the St. Germain Company to the proposed junction line were set aside, and how the claims of the Western Compony were fully admitted by the Council of State end the Legislative Body. The whole length of the branch line, it states, will be about 125 kilom. (78k English miles), the con struction presenting no particular difficulty, no tunnel being required, and the line passing through a country abounding in wood, iron, stone, and all the materials of construction. The expense, as calculated by the Minister of Public Works, will be 34 millions, or 272,000 f. per kilom. But locking at the facilities which the Government is at present disposed to afford for the new lines to be con structed, the Board conceives that a great reduction may be effected in that sum, the engineers of the company being of opinion that 200,000 f. per kilom. will be per fectly adequate. But even in allowing a wive margin for any unexpected circumstance, the expense cannot, the report declares, be more than 230,000 f. per kilom., which will give a maximum of 30,000,000 for the total coast. As a subvention of 14,000,000 has been granted to the company by the state, the sum which the com pany will have hereafter to provide will be at the utmost 20,000,000, one-half of which will be issued in shares, and the other half in debentures. The report then touches on the probable produce of the transverse line, and quotes the opinion of Baron de Conde, as expressed in the official report which he sent in to the Government on the subject, from which it was to be inferred that the line would give at least 18,0001'. of gross receipts, or B,ooof. of nett revenue per kilom., being as high a return for the capital expended, as is seen on the generality of the great lines in France. The report, after stating that there was no necessity for raising the capital in question at present, as the com pany had sufficient funds in hand for the first expenses, proposes to the meeting to sanction the execution of the line in question by the Western Company. The report then comes to the second point—namely, the result of the working nf the Western line from the 28th January to 30th June. The receipts during that period amounted to e• ••• 1,525,610 f. 4c. And the chtu‘ges and expenses to ... 956,256 f. 12c. Leaving a nett profit of ... —560,353 f. 92c. or something more than llf. per share. The report, however, does not propose to distribute at present as dividend the whole of that sum, its reasons being as• signed in the following words:—‘ But after having thus stated in figures the nett produce accruing from this part of the working, we consider it our duty to, remark to you that the second six months of the year will see our charges increased in a notable proportion. That aug mentation will result, Ist, from our working at our own Bank) line; be the elevation of the risk and peril from the Ist of Ju l y the Versailles (Right and whatever ni 3 Y produce from that line, we can not hope that it will cover us completely for the charges attendant on our pur chasing that railway; 2d, from the interest and sinking f u nd of the bonds created for the profit of the St. Germain Company, to pay the sum of 4,300,000 f. for the construction of the station in the Rue St. Lazare, and for the janction-line of -Viroilay ; and 3d, from the call which it will be to ne cessary to make on October 1, and which, looking the wants mentioned above, cannot be less than 75f. per share. In order to be prepared for these provisions, it appears to us prudent to restrict the sum to be at pre gat divided amongst the shareholders at 312,500 f , being a payment on account for the first five months equiva lent to 10 per cent. on the capital already paid up of 7,500,000 f. The remaining 247,853 f. 92c. will be car ried to the credit of the second six months of the year. We consequently propose to you to authorise the distri bution of a sum of 6f. 250. per share on account, pay able on and after the 15th of August. The report then enters into a comparison of the receipts during the cor responding six months of the present year and of 1851, and shows that the difference in favour of the former is not less than 294,731 f. From the information given by the State engineers charged with the works between La Loupe and Le Mans, that part of the line will probably be delivered up to the company towards the end of next year. The board has entered into trea ties on very advantageous terms for the rails and chairs which will be required, and every measure has been " ' taken to ensure the opening of that section as promptly as possible after the works shall hav e been give n —'y up to the company. There was reason to suppose that in the course of the years 1853 and 1854 ail the ea • cable to the construction of the line froth capital appli- Mans would have to be realised.

Finally, Major Dawson, on the same subject, has delivered himself of an address which is de c id e dl y b ot h agreea bl e an d disagreeable, and it is to this composite oration that we now intend to refer. Like ingenious advertisers, we really felt ourselves compelled to throw off with an o f anecdote.our remarkslf w we hadwe sh oguriajve havelyi,announcedscared athe everysub ject mission of Sewers" ascends to the bnotr„ilsl Metropolitanlike C otrabe reader. The very name of the sug gestive of nothing but juggling, effluvium of an " untrapped guile 5- • tis abortions, and interminable del thermometer at 75 degrees in the jabbers,shade, ndcabal,.hope lesss,a nobody the . w illingly concern himself about the dLins dwoubl.d feet. Yet it is to this topic that we must un er e f r orce ls return, and we do earnestly bespeak the perforce consideration, for we have that to say which is very greatly to the point. There have been three " Me tropolitan Commissions of Sewers." With more or less discredit, these sanitary councils have been suc cessively extinguished, and on their ruins there has now risen a fourth. On Saturday afternoon this new Commission was formally opened, and the opportunity was seised with great propriety by Major Dawson' one of the Commissioners, to explain at length what had hitherto not been done, and why not; as well as to announce what was likely or unlikely to remain undone still. It has heretofore been a peculiar feature of these proceedings that whereas the business of the commission made no perceptible progress, the public has been kept wholly in the dark respecting the causes of delay and the chances of improvement. These obscurities Major Dawson bas betaken him self to remove, and in an address which, we may observe in passing, seemed to enlighten his own col leagues quite as mu c h as th e gen eral audience, he gave a perspicuous and intelligible statement of the whole affair. In this part of his exposition we are bound to say that the speaker left little to be desired. He acknowledged that the true object of the Commis sion was not the mere " cleansing and repairing sewers, laying down a few hundred feet of pipe, and sitting to hear appeals against rates," but the prepa ration and execution of " a system of general drain age for this great metropolis ;" remarking, with obvious justice, that in any other case there would have been no necessity for the appointment of such eminent and distinguished men to the office. He ad mitted, with unexceptionable candour, th a t as re garded this distinct and special object of three succes sive Commissions, the public were " very nearly i n the same state and position as when we enter office in January, 1849 ;" that " the river Thames was as impure now as it was then ;" and that, with small exceptions, " not even the surface of the gr o u n d had be en broken for the introduction of any main eewer," He confessed that the first Commission " did little or nothing towards the accomplishment of the main drainage, owing to a spirit of rivalry be tween two of its chief officers, each of whom bad a project of his own and ridiculed that of the other." fie owned that the second Commission, after devising a system of main drainage, and that the first Commissio n was somewhat . short re fis t r r tso o t g pp r s a etd d :P e. critical point, Major Dawson did sp in e d t li n ain terms . straightforwardly ec, f tAhealti third t thishat avow ; and such, agreeable part of his communication. Comparison, is the their shortcomingsalng Commissioners of Sewers appreciating their duties so To find the so aextcorrectly, acknowledging can didly, and publishing to the world sol prospec tus of their intentions for the future, P is a :: pleasant surprise. * In his exculpation cf his peel m a ely sirs in office the ajor is, perhaps, a little precipitate We could remind him, if we pleased, that the obliga.: tiors, whiehtor himself and his colleagues he now con fesses, were for many months together not only eluded but audaciously denied, and he will surely see upon reflexion, that a Commission, in which the " two chief officers" sacrificed the public interests to private cabals, must really have been open to some merited censure. However, we are content to let all this pass—to consider that the necessity of a great system was always recognised, and the impropriety of turning the Thames into a sewer always admitted. If the Commissioners will go honestly to work at last, we will say nothing about arrears of duty, but will give them all assistance in grappling with the realities before them. These realities Major Dawson has clearly delineated, and to this disagreeable department of the subject we must invite the reader's attention for a few moments more. Work cannot be done without money, and the money of the Commissioners is pro vided by rate. At present they possess 8,3511. 19s. 4d. actually in hand, and from arrears of rates uncol lected they are in expectation of 36,099/. 17s. 4d. more, leaving a total of less than 40,0001. The rating powers of the Commission extended originally to ls. in the pound, a limit which was reduced to 3d. some time ago, but increased again very recently to 6d. Under these powers, when exercised over the whole metropolitan area, they calculate on levying 181,230/. But, on the other side, they ar e in debt 58,9911.; the ordinary expenditure of the Commission is computed at 48,4661., and they have a prospect of requiring at least 244,0001. for ex traordinary works not directly relating to the main drainage system, but " of urgent necessity, the whole of which have been repeatedly presented to the Court, estimated, prepared, and ordered to be carried into execution." For two years, therefore, at the least, we are to conclude that the whole prospective funds of the Commission will be consumed in works exclu eive of the great system of main drainage, and Major • Dawson openly informs us that this long-de s ir e d scheme, though now actually devised and approved, cannot possibly be carried into effect. Its estimated cost is 1,080,0001, whereas the Commissioners for the next two years will not have half-a-crown at their disposal for any such purpose. We have no means of checking the particular figures thus given, but if the budget is correctly expounded, it is perfectly clear that, the metropolitan public must either consent to a larger temporary rate or go without purification altogether. The points open to inquiry are the " ordinary expens es " o f the Commission, and the exigency of the " extraordinary works" ' which, though not part of the " great system," threaten one fourth of its whole cost. As to the estimate of the main work itself, we should hardly think, speaking by probabilities, that a million was an extravagant demand. We might certainly, if we were inclined to be captious, observe that the difficulties now ex plained at the eleventh hour must have been obvious to every member of every Commission months and months ago, and that a circumstance which renders nugatory the appointment of any Commission at all is not propounded w i t h a very good gr ace at the so le m n inauguration of the fourth of these coun cils.
