In addition to this plaintiff was to have £3O for expenses, his duties being to go round to the large wholesale houses, to most of whom he was well known, to obtain their support for the com pany.

The first ordinary meeting of this company was held at their offices, 8, Delahoy-street ; Sir Percy Nugent, Bart., in the chair. The object of this undertaking, which received the sanction of Parliament last year, is to form a junction with the Dublin, Wexford, and Wicklow, and the Great Southern and Western of Ireland. It com mences by a junction with the Dublin and Rath mines Railway near Camden-row, and terminates in Watling-street, at one portion of the metro polis. There were also to be termini in other parts, so as to form the required links between the two important lines specified. The capital is to be £160,000, and the cost of construction is esti mated at £lOO,OOO a mile, and the whole of the capital is divided into 16,000 shares. The bill pro vides very stringent regulations respecting the construction of the line both with reference to safety and to sanitary conside rations, several penalties being imposed for interference with the gas and water supplies along the route of the line. The Act specially provided that, in the event of the line not being constructed at the expiration of five years from the fusing of the Act, the poWers of the company shall cease, except so far as any of the complete portions. After the usual preliminaries, Sir Percy Nugent, Sir John Gray, and Messrs. J. Revolta, D. Tracy, and L. G. Knox were appointed directors.

On the 30th of last September he told her that he had two £4O bills to meet, and should be compelled to close his shop, sell off all he possessed, and ,then go to the Bank ruptcy Court and declare his insolvency. He told her the best thing which she could do was to go to her friends in the country, where she might remain with her three children until he could join her, but he never came. Mr. Selfe—Did he desert you ? Applicant—lle sent me some money, but I have never seen him since, and don't know where to find him. lam with my three young children in distress, but that is not now the object of my visit to you. It is the contents of this box that I am troubled about. Applicant here produced a large tin box. Mr. Selfe—What have you there ? Applicant—Watches and jewellery. Mr. Selfe—How came you by them? Applicant—They belong to my husband's customers. When my husband determined to sell off his property he gave me these watches and articles of jewellery which had been loft with him to repair. He also preserved tools enough to mend them, and said that it was his intention to do so. I have kept the things ever since, but now I wish to know from you what I had better do with them. Mr. Solfe—Restore the things to the persons to whom they belong. I dare say they will be very glad to have them. Let the people describe each properly, and then give it to them. Your conduct is most honest and praise worthy. The press oan assist you much more than I can. THAMES. MISCHIEVOITS AND DANGEROUS BOYS.-Edward Rind, 16, a lame tailor on crutches, and who is the ringleader of a gang of juvenile vagrants, Charles Parker, 15, Frederick Rayment, 12, and Herbert Rayment, 10, his brother, were charged with throwing stones at a bargeman named Wm. West, while he was navigating his barge along the Regent's Canal, near the Mile-end-road. The boys were on the bridge near the New Globe Tavern, and a shower of stones and gravel fell on the barge. It was stated by Police-constable Simmons, 127 K, and by West, that the nuisance of stone throwing had become alarming, and that several bargemen had been hurt by the abominable practice of throwing stones from the bridges by idle and mischievous boys. The prisoners, in defence, said—We only chucked mud, Mr. Paget Why did you do that ? The prisoners —Because other boys did it. Mr. Paget said he would put a stop to this very danger ous sport if possible. He remanded the prisoners. THROWING RUBBISH INTO THE THAMES.—Henry Wes sendorff, a lighterman, aged 50, was charged with throw ing a quantity of old matting into the Thames. George Reed, an inspector of the Thames police, was surprised yesterday afternoon at perceiving a large quan tity of old light matting coming up the river off the Tower with the flowing tide. He rowed down the river and caught the prisoner in flagrante delecto throwing old and useless matting from a barge into the river. This matting sunk when it got wet, and got about ship's moorings or the paddle-boxes of steamers and caused great obstruc tion to the navigation. The prisoner said he was cleaning out his barge and put the rubbish on the gunwale ; it fell overboard. He would not throw anything into the river—not he, surely; he would scorn the idea. The magistrate did not believe him, and fined him 10s. THE RADICAL AMERICAN CONGRESS. The American Congress presents the extraordinary spectacle of a Republican Legislature in conflict with the executive power and at variance with the public opinion of the country. To explain the anomaly it will be only necessary to contrast the demands of peace with the exigencies of war. For the latter purpose resolute men and vigorous measures were indispensably required, and the most uncompromising principles naturally prevailed. For the former a different agency is needed, and fanaticism becomes an obstacle instead of a resource. The Lower House of Congress represents by a very strong majority the Republican party in the United States, and such a constitution of the Assembly would have been exceedingly useful in supporting a war policy against all opposition, but it is evidently less adapted to the task of conciliation and reconstruction actually before it. Tho war is over; the South is conquered, and the Southern people, according to the report of General Grant himself, are at length prepared to fulfil what, a few months ago, was the most ardent hope of every American breast, and re-enter the Union. It happens, however, that the work of compromise now devolves on those who were the most determined enemies not only of Southern insurgents, but of Southern institutions, and these politicians have gone the length of refusing all compromise whatever. They desire apparently no "reconstruction" at all. It is enoughfor them hat there is no division of authority Within the limits of the Union, no independent Confederacy confronting the original Republic. For the rest, they have no objection to see the States of the South in the position of the un organised provinces of the extreme West; indeed, th e y . _ _ think it rather advisable, for the present, that the United States should not be considered as including the States recently in rebellion. The result of the policy is that the great object of the war is for the time as com pletely lost as if the Confederates had been victorious. At this moment the Union is shorn of eleven of its ancient States. Secession itself, if successful, could have pro duced no worse curtailment. The only difference is that in the latter event these States would have formed an in dependent Power, whereas they have no organisation at all. They are still out of the Union as completely as ever. There can be no difficulty in believing that this policy is directly opposed to the present views of the American people. If the policy of the Republicans expressed the national con fictions while the South was in arms, it does not express them now that the South is utterly beaten. The people of the States as a body are neither vindictive nor fanatical ; they take no very keen interest in the posi tion of the negro, so long as actual slavery is abolished, and they are far more desirous of seeing the old Union restored and the works of peace recommenced than of witnessing the ascendancy of any extreme principles. Such, we are credibly assured, are the opinions prevailing in the Northern States, and they have hitherto been judi ciously adopted by the President.--Times. POULTRY.

A new and interesting series of dissolving views were exhibited by Mr. Willem Vandervell and Mr. Haggard, whilst Mr. Harold Power (son of the late comedian) gave a description of each view, and by his quaint delivery managed to keep the audience in a " merrie mood." Mr. Toole sang a comic song, which was highly appreciated. During the evening there was a selection of music, under the direction of Mr. Vandervell which included his last composition, entitled "Fair Ger trude." A very plea. ant evening was passed, and the visi tors departed highly amused. We understand it is the intention of Dr. Christie to give a theatrical performance by amateurs towards the end of the month. CONVICTION OF A WORKHOUSE MASTER.—At the Essex quarter sessions, on Thursday, Thomas T wose, late master of the Halstead Union Workhouse, was convicted. of stealing a considerable quantity of wheat, barley, beans, peas, &c., the property of the guardians, and also a number of glass and china articles. The entire value of the articles stolen was about £3OO. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. ST. PAUL'S CATIIEDRAL.—The special Sunday evening services for the winter of 1866 commence to-mor row beneath the dome of St. Paul's. The Bishop of Lon don will preach the sermon.

A GENTLEMAN IN A STATE OF CYCOLOGY.—An elderly man was found in the fields at Hampstead on Thursday morning by some labourers, without hat or coat, and his clothes completely covered with mud. He was in a very exhausted state, and had evidently been out in the rain all night. On being asked how he got in a such a con dition, he said he had been to Mr. Addison's house in St. John's Wood, to see some spiritual manifestations, and that under Mr. Sothern's directions, he had endeavoured to cycologise some of the gentlemen present ; that he suc ceeded with one, who became very violent, and who, after throwing everything in the room at him, seized a knife and swore to have his life ; that he fled the house, and to escape the pursuer ran into the fields and hid himself in a ditch, whore he remained all night afraid to move. The poor man was taken home, declaring he would never again try the effect of such a dangerous power, and which had nearly cost him his life. The gentleman he cycologised, he stated, was Mr. Toole, the favourite comedian of the Adelphi Theatre. WHAT THE EARLY BENEDICTINES DID.--The Benedictines, after the death of their founder, steadily g p s r t os t p h e e re n d at s i e o n n t s out n m p i l s u s n i o g n e a d r s in th to e p p r r e o u sp ei e t re t d h , e a t n ru d t as h a t m he o y n depths of paganism. It has been estimated that they were the means of converting upwards of 30 countries and provinces to the Christian faith. They were the first to overturn the altars of the heathen deities in the north of Europe ; they carried the C ross i nto Gaul, into S axony, and Belgium; they pla ce d th at Cross between the abject misery of serfdom and the cruelty of feudal violation ; between the beasts of burden and the beasts of prey—they proclaimed the common kinship of humanity in Christ the Elder Brother. Strange to say, some of its most distin guished missionaries were natives of our own country. It was a Scottish monk, St. Ribanus, who first preached the Gospel in Franconia—it was an English monk, St. Wil fred, who did the same in Friesland and Holland in the year 683, but with little success—it was an Englishman, St. Swibert, who carried the Cross to Saxony, and it was from the lips of another Englishman, St. Ulfred, that Sweden first heard the Gospel—it was an Englishman and a Devonshire man, St. Bonifaco, who laid aside his mitre, put on his monk's dress, converted Germany to the truth, and then fell a victim to the future of the heathen Fries landers, who slaughtered him in cold blood. Four Bene dictine monks carried the tight of truth into Denmark, Sweden, and Gothland, sent there in the ninth century by the Emperor Ludovicus Plus. Gascony, Hungary , Lithuania, Russia, Pomerania, are all emblazoned on their banners as victories won by them in the fight of faith ; and it was to the devotion of five martyr monks, who fell in the work, that Poland traces the foundation of her Church. —Dublin University Magazine. THE FIRST FENIAN.—Finn, better known in Ire land as Finn M'Comhail, flourished in Ireland dur ing the third century of the Christian era. It is the general opinion among the common people that Finn was a giant, some say sixty feet in height. Warriors, like Finn, who pass away in the twilight of history, leave long sha dows bahind them. We find it difficult to believe that great heroes were little men. This Finn is the Fingal of Macpherson, who has made a Scotchman of him. The poet Thomas Moore, in his " History of Ireland," says, It has been the fate of this popular Irish hero, after a long course of traditional renown in this country, w h e re his name still lives, not only in legends and songs, but in the yet more indelible record of scenery connected with his memory, to have been all at once transferred b y ado p ti on (kidnapping wo should say) to another country (Scotland), to start under a new but false shape, in a fresh career of fame. When "Tommy Moore" penned these words, he little thought that the great hero and supporter of the Royal house of Cormac was to start, or to be started, a third time, as the leader or representative of a set of Red Republicans, of adventurers and shopboys. It is enough to make the ghost of this Irish hero burst the bars of Hades, and de nounce these beggarly r ebels, whom he would not have em ployed as 4‘ ( Latins," or horseboys, to his cavalry. " This celebrated warrior," says Dr. O'Donovan, in his notes on the "Annals of Ireland," " had two grand residences .fn n h o u v n , m i n o y t o h i e i y, in county the of Kildare, and otherthe ster; in one 3lg ialle Al l i e n , I n King's County He was son - in -law of Kin g Corm ac , and general of his s t a nding army, which , as Pinkerton remarks, seems to e have been in imitation of the Roman legions."---Shilling Magazine.
