S At the conclusion of au engagement at Liverpool on Friday evening, Mr. Sothern delivered the fol lowing address : "Ladies and Gentlemen,—l haven't the ghost au idea what I'm going to talk about. With; knowledge that you would expect a speech from me this evening, you can imagine how uncomfortable I have felt the whole day. (Laughter.) Benefit speeches must unavoidably be very egotistical, con sequently I dislike them. Let me, therefore, vary the rule, by talking about nothing whatever at all —(roars of laughter) —and occupying about the same time that I should have done if I had been speaking about myself. By the way, when T was playing an engagement at Belfast 1 stuck dead in the middle of a little speech I had prepared for the occasion, when some splendid fellow in the gallery shouted out, Sothern, old boy, by jabcrs you are a brick.' (Roars of laughter.) For a moment I was confused, as any lady or gentleman present would have been confused ! Wouldn't you ? Of course I don't expect a point blank reply, because everybody would stare at the individual who answered. (Laughter.) Well, I think lam getting rather into a fog. Where was I ? (Some one in the gallery cried out, You were called brick.') Thank you! It was just such a good-natured fellow as you are that helped me out of my difficulty in the speech I was referring to. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that good-natured interruption gave me time to reflect a moment, and the copse ; quence was I delivered an oration that, I flatter myself, has not been equalled in the annals of oratory. (Hear, hear.) Let me see ; I have now been talking about nothing for more than five minutes ; consequently, before I retire, let me make a plunge, and say something that you will remem ber when I leave the theatre. In the hackneyed phrase of the modern actor, I thank you sincerely for the enthusiastic welcome you have given me. In three weeks time I shall be again before you— (applause)—when I intend to produce two or three little pieces. (Much applause and cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, I have come to a dead-lock, and unless some enthusiastic admirer will call me a brick, I have no idea how on earth I shall get off the stage, a proceeding that, under the best circum stances, is always a difficult task ; for unless a man's an acrobat he generally catches his feet in the ropes of the green curtain and lands on his head in the green-room. (Great laughter.) That judicious smile gives me the Opportunity of edging towards the said curtain. Thank you very much (stumbling over the cords). There, I knew I should do it I've gone with my head into the proscenium." Mr. Sothern retired amidst tremendous applause, and the house resounded with general cries of "Brick." On Saturday night the great comedian's benefit was completed, when he again addressed the audience. In the course of his remarks he announced his intention, during his next engagement, of de voting the proceeds of a performance for the benefit of the funds of the Children's Infirmary ; and he also referred in strong terms to the splendid man ner in which Mr. Henderson had got up his pieces— " in a style that set an example to the best London theatres." He concluded by thanking the company generally for their invaluable co-operation, and also expressed his obligation to Mr. Conolly, the band leader, for his careful attention to the musical de partment.

PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd: RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN A meeting of the bondholders of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway was held yesterday afternoon, at the London Tavern, to receive a report, and hear from the chairman, Sir M. Peto, the residt of his late visit to the works in America. The CHAIRMAN said ho wall knew the value of time in the City of London, and therefore he would at once go to the point. Ho told them the last time lie had had the honour of addressing them that he intended in the autumn to visit America, insp.:ct the works, and on his return to state the exact position in w hi c h h o f oun d ma tters to the bond holders. Thi s h e h a d accomp li s h e d . H e h a d exam ' ne d ever y knownrai lvantagelv ayoanou of the L i t eo h r eist authorities company nEt hxics Exchange nu Ar gn l et r . ; y and i o od r f b c 3 o: s fir , 3l portion of th e wor k s w i t h t h e utmost care, h av i ng th e ad pool ; of Mr. S a tt ert h wa i te, a man of business, and well o ur n . tf ull, os of t the ne Liverlbvehs -ot had long been associated with Mr. Brassey and Mr. Wise. Everything which had been previously reported to him was fully verified by what he saw, and the works did the utmost credit to the contractor, Mr. M'Henry. The presi dent of the company was a man of the highest standing, and the manager, Mr. M'Laren, was ono of the cleverest and practical of men he ever met with. On arriving in America he and his friends found the traffic in a complete block from the want of adequate rolling stock ; in fact, they had nothing like the amount they required, as the local traffic had exceeded all their expectations. The traffic was completely paralyzed for want of rolling stock and addi tional sidings. Mr. M'Laren was asked what he required, and he at once said he wanted 72 miles of sidings, 1,000 additional cars, and 25 additional locomotives. Without the least delay they were all ordered, and were in rapid course of supply ; the sidings he believed, -ho might say, would all be laid down in December, so that no time would be lost in carrying out measures to remedy the required want. The traffic exceeded when he (Sir S. M. Peto) was in America £5O per mile per week, and Mr. IPLaren said that with additional accommodation he could increase the receipts to £BO per mile. The line was, however, already carrying enough to pay expenses and to realise a surplus of £114,000 for the shareholders. (Hear, hear.) The policy of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway was not one of extension ; on the contrary, it was consolidation and rest, and they would leave to others the task of construct ing lines either on their east or west. The Mahoning line would prove of great advantage to the bondholders, as it would open up to them Washington and Philadelphia. He had the greatest satisfaction in informing them that the feeling with the Erie company was of the most amic able description, and he was told while in America that they, the Atlantic Company, might consider their proposals as good as accepted. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the West Central Railway no thing would bo done to favour it at the expense of the Baltimore and Ohio Company. All would be treated alike, and the same advantages and facilities would be held out to all without the least distinction. In America he found a very vicious principle in existence, viz., the taking large sums from revenue for the purpose of spending in extensions, and thus the shareholders never knew the actual amount of the earnings of their lines. One com pany, he believed, bad as much as $5,000,000 invested from this source for making extensions, and another had actually spent a much larger sum. That would not be the policy of the Atlantic. They would adopt the proper prin ciple ; they would keep their line in the highest state of efficiency, but the earnings would be divided every year among the bondholders. (Hear.) 'When he was first asked to take the chair of the company, he said he would do so on the conditions that 40 per cent. of all the receipts were to be sent over to this country every month, and that an investigation into their financial condition was to be made by Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, and Co. Those conditions had been complied with, and the result of tho investigation of their affairs, which was exceedingly fa vourable, could be had by every shareholder who sent to the office for a copy. (Hear.) In conclusion, he believed the undertaking to be one of the soundest that could possibly be imagined. Their receipts left a large margin of profit, and yet, with 100 miles to open, the income would be quite sufficient for the entire redemption of their bonded debt. (Hear, hear.) He would now call upon Mr. Forbes to read his report. Mr. FORBES then read a very lengthy document, which entered minutely into the whole position of the company, and, applying the figures and opinions to the capital ex penditure of the company, the following are the results at which he arrives :—" Applying these figures and opinions to the capital expenditure of the company, the following would appear to be the result :—The whole amount autho rised to complete the lines is 60,000,000 dollars, half in bonds, bearing interest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, and half in ordinary shares. The interest on the bonds, payable at the rate of 4s. to the dollar, will require a net receipt of 2,800,000 dollars per annum. The working ex penses for the whole length of 607 miles should not exceed 3,642,000 dollars per annum ; and any excess earned upon the sum of these two amounts, viz., 6,442,000 dollars would for the benefit of the ordinary shareholders. The re ceipts for the first six months of the present year earned upon the 322 miles then open were 2,579,737 dollars ; and for the months of July, August, and September upon the 490 miles then in work they were 2,011,676 dollars. If the receipts of October, November, and December equal those of the preceding three months, as it is assumed they will, then the gross receipts for the year 1865 will be 6,603,089 dollars. Had the whole of the 490 miles been opened throughout the year, the receipts, at the rate earned for the last three months, would have amounted to 8,016,704 dollars. But an additional length of 117 miles of the company's lines remains to be com pleted or brought into use, and when this shall have been done it is only anticipating a very small growth in the traffic of the main line to suppose that the total 607 miles of lines then in work will earn as much per mile per annum as that which has in the present year been obtained upon the smaller mileage already open. In that case the gross annual receipts willnot fall short of 10,015,000 dollars, and after deducting the interest on the Bonded debt and the working expenses, as above stated, a balance of 3,573,500 dollars would remain in favour of the holders of the ordi nary stock. The results already achieved are extraordi nary for a line recently opened, and before it is possible that the arrangements for the conduct of the Through Traffic can have boon so far perfected, or its existence as a new r6ute so widely known as to have attracted to it, more than an inconsiderable part of the business which must ulti mately flow on to it. Looking at all these facts, and at the experience already attained of the amount of local and through traffic which the line commands, it appears to me to be perfectly certain that the interests of the bondholders in the Atlantic and Great Western Railway are from this time quite secure, and that after their claims are satisfied the ordinary shareholders may look to be immediately rewarded with a considerable dividend, which must grow with the extending business certain to come upon their rail way from year to year." The reading of the report frequently elicited loud cheers. At its conclusion, The CHAIRMAN said they now invited any questions which the bondholders might feel disposed to put to them. No response having been made, Mr. HULL, of Liverpool , sai d he had visited their works in company with their ch airman, and he would at once say a more magnificent country ho had never seen than that through which their line ran. It would be of the utmost importance to the bondholders to promote emi gration to the splendid country of the Far West. It was a fact that although Ohio was much larger than Great Bri tain the population only amounted to 2f millions. Let the emigrant go to Ohio instead of Now Zealand and Auckland, as in that fine country he would find greater advantages than the other could by any possibility hold out. They must also inculcate the principles of free trade. (Hear, hear.) The country was unparalleled for its unbounded wealth of vegetable productions, and a more hospitable or friendly people did not exist. Mr. ROBINSON, of the Ebbw Vale Company, also one of the gentlemen wh o accompan i ed S i r Morton to Amer i ca, spoke in high terms of the railway and the country through which it passed. A StoutzuoLDEn said he did not see how the increased traffic was to be carried on with only a single line of rails. Mr. FORBES said there was a large ratio of goods over passenger traffic—it was about double, but at present the line was quite adequate for all purposes. Tho time might come when the question of doubling their line might arise, but that was not the question for them to consider at pre sent. What they had to do was to get all they could out of what they had got before they laid down additional lines of rails. The CHAIRMAN said the bondholders would be called together every year, and everything would be laid before them in the most open and candid manner. It had been said, "How is it, if your railway is so good, the Americans don't invest in it 2" All he could say was, that Mr. Aspin wall had $300,000 in it, and a gentleman holding a position similar to our Chancellor of the Exchequer had $420,000 invested in it. (Hear, hear.) In fact ho believed that one-third of their bonds were held by Americans. A cordial vote of thanks having been awarded to the chairman, sir MORTON PETO, in returning thanks, said he felt highly gratified at the compliment awarded him. How ever, he had one thing to say to every person then present. He doubted not but that each of them took an autumnal trip, either to Germany or Switzerland ; but what he advised them to do next year was to visit their own pro perty in America. Ho could assure them they would meet with a friendly and kindly reception, such as they woßld MITE GIPSY QUEER QUADRILLES for _ll_ PIANO, finely Illustrated. 4s. Order of all music sellers.

Much sensation has been caused in India by an English girl of 14 years of age having been sold to the Chief of Bhatwa, in the Kattywar territory, to be placed in his harem. He is said to be 70 years old, and to have bought her of her parents for 3,000 rupees (£300). The following particulars are from the Delhi Gazette of Oct. 21 :—" It appears that a certain chief, who holds sway in the State of Bhatwa, in the Kattywar territory, and who is named Khamaldeen or Kumaloodeen, lately conceived a desire to add to the live stock in his harem, although bowed down by the weight of 70 years, by pro curing an English girl and inducing her to take up her residence within its sacred precincts. For this purpose emissaries were despatched to Ahmedabad, where lived an Englishman with his wife and chil dren. They were a dissolute couple, by all accounts, and of course had long rubbed skirts with poverty ; yet they had something which the wealthy chief of Bhatwa did not possess. They had an English girl, their daughter, named Anne, a girl of about 14 years of age, and the Bhatwa emissaries having looked about them, and ascertained the resources of the place, at once determined to make the parents an offer for the person of their daughter. The sum of 3,000 rupees was the tempting bait which was to make them drive their little fish into the Nawab of Bhatwa's net, and the experiment succeeded. The father agreed, for and in consideration of 3,000 rupees, to consign his daughter for her life to the tender care of Kumaloodeen. The bargain having been struck, the contracting parties made the best of their way to Bhatwa, where the money was to be paid and the goods delivered. Arrived at their destination, this child of 14, the offspring of English parents, and a daughter of the Chris tian Church, was handed over to her purchaser, and the delicate-minded parents became the happy possessors of 3,000 rupees. At this stage of the proceedings, a clergyman, the chaplain o f Rojkote, to whom the circumstance was reported, tried to interpose between the unnatural parents of Anne and her brutal purchaser, by calling upon the political agent of Kattywar to exert his authority and rescue the child from the destruction to which, body and soul, she was doomed by her natural guardians. Our correspondent does not vouch for the truth of the report which has reached him touching the action taken by the political agent in the matter, but what he says is, that Anne, after she had become the Nawab's property, was solemnly made to abjure the errors of the Cht:is tian Church, and formally received into communion with the follower of the true prophet. The political officer, it is said, deputed his jemadar to be present at the ceremony, and this functionary brought him a full and particular account of all that took place on the occasion. The next step in regard to the child was to marryher after the Mahomedan fashion to her purchaser, but, before this interesting cere mony (which, we believe, is not regarded quite in the light of a sacrament by the sons of peace) was performed, the political officer is reported to have caused the youthful bridegroom, just turned 70, to draw up a marriage settlement, by which the new light of the harem is secured in the posses sion of au income of 2,000 and odd rupees per annum, including an item of 30 rupees for pan and sooparee, which may be looked upon as an equivalent for pin money. The political agent, h ow ever, was not satisfied with this provision for the present wants of Anne, and being a far-sighted man he took care to sec ure her against any unplea sant accident, su ch as desertion, for instance, th a t m i g ht happen in the future. He caused another deed to be drawn up, by which it is stipulated that, in the event of her being at any time banished from that blessed abode of virtue, the harem, she is to receive, for the term of her natural life, the hand some allowance of 250 rupees per mensern, or 3,000 rupees per annum." The Delhi Gazette does not not vouch for the truth of the statements in its cor respondent's letter, which describe the part taken by the political agent.
