RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. The usual half-yearly meeting was held yester day at the Waterloo Station —Captain Mangles in the chair. Mr. F. Clark e (the secretary) having read the notice convening the meeting, the report (an abstract of which has already appeared) was taken as read. The CllAtiotvg, in moving the adoption of the report, said he regretted that the reduction of divi dend which the directors in February last had inti m tted that as honest men they should feel them selves bound to recommend for the next half-year would now have to be proposed. It was not a very large reduction, but inasmuch as it might be unsa tisfactory to some of the shareholders, it therefore could not be pleasing to the directors as their re preienta,tives. The directors, however, felt that this was not a state of things that ought to continue, and he assured the meeting that they should feel it their duty to exert their beat energies to the utter most for the reduction of the company's expenditure --(hear, hear) —whether by checking the introduc tion of new lines or extensions of their old line, or by devoting their best attention to the working in the most advantageous manner of our present sys tem of railways. On the former occasion he so fully explained the causes that the board expected would lead to the reduction of dividend this half year that he need not trespass again on their attention, ex cept to say that, though some of those causes still existed, he was yet able to say that brighter days for the future were now beaming over them. The directors did not attempt to disguise that the naval review had brought some additional £5,000 or £6,000 to the earnings of the line, still the surplus as compared with the corresponding six months of last year showed an increase of £17,600. This the directors considered a very satisfactory result. (Cheers.) The traffic of the last week as made up to Sunday (the usual day) showed an addition of £1,700 as compared with a similar return of last year. During the last half year the following receipts bad come in, viz.:—£s9 65.-sd. on account of or dinary stock ; £94,586 9s. 10d. to the 4i and 5 per cent. preference stock ; £28,626 to the perpetual 4 and 41 per cent. mortgage stock, or, asit was usually called, debenture stock, and £197,251 mortgage bonds or debentures. With reference to the debit side of the capital account, it would be found that there had been expended on the older lines £139,746; on works in progress, £173,245 ; and on new plant, £36,303. As regarded the last two sums they would doubtless produce hereafter an entirely new and increased revenue, the former by opening up new sources of traffic, and the latter by furnishing the plant to work that new traffic. With regard to the first item, he held in his hand an analysis of the expenditure to the last shilling. He would not ex haust the patience of the meeting by going through the whole of the items, but a few of the principal ones it was important he should advert to. Taking the items £16,666 17s. 9d. and £22,215, those were for the original line, and it should be remembered that whereas the original line was only the 78 miles to Southampton, they now worked upwards of 500 miles. It would therefore be obvious that they must have larger platforms, larger stations, and other accommodation in proportion. These sums could hardly therefore be called a continual increase of capital, but ought rather to be regarded as an in creasing outlay for plant to carry on their works.

The court then adjourned. Industrial Scl ;stitute Girls. Yesterday an interesting ceremony took place at Ealing-house, Ealing, Middlesex, on the occasion of the inauguration of the building as an industrial school for homeless and destitute girls, which, in connection with the Refuge Home, 19, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, was for several years carried on at Acton. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presided, and was supported byJudge Payne, the Rev. W.Relton, Mr. J. H. Fordham, &c. A large tent had been erected in the extensive grounds at the back of the house, and a band was in attendance to perform on the occasion, but the unfavourable weather rendered it necessary that the business of the day should take place indoors. The result was that the company were introduced into the schoolroom, which was scarcely large enough to accommodate them—a cir cumstance which caused much regret, but did not militate against the successful result of the gathering. It appeared from a statement read by Mr. WILLIAMS, the Secretary to the Refuges for homeless and Destitute Children (with which the present institution is associated, that in July, 1852, the com mittee began their benevolent work to benefit desti tute girls. The funds at their disposal were then very small, and conseqnently only six girls could be admitted into the home at 19, Broad- street, Blooms bury. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided at the in auguration of that building. Fears were at that time entertained as to whether anything could be made of the poor girls, but all objections to the work soon vanished, for it became apparent that the minds and hearts of these girls were as susceptible to good impressions, and were as capable of yield ing to the training and discipline under which they were placed, as the offspring of a higher class The number of inmates gradually increased until it reached about forty. Applications of a pressing nature being still made for admission, the committee were led to extend this branch of their work still further, and consequently they hired a large house at Acton as a branch home. This house was also inaugurated by Lord Shaftesbury on the 3d July, 1860. The inmates here, as in the Broad-street Home, gradually increased until, in June, 1866, the number reached over 40, when possession of the house was given up, as the committee and the trustees of the property were unable to arrange for converting the stables into a suitable washhouse and laundry. Every effort was made to obtain suitable premises, but without success, and a house was therefore taken temporarily at Kilburn, and the girls were removed there. In March last the present premises were pointed out to the committee as likely to suit for a home, and ultimately arrangements were made for purchasing them. The premises are copyhold, but nearly equal to freehold, as the quit rents only amount to a few shillings a year. They were in a very dirty and dilapidated condition, and a considerable sum has been expended in repairing and cleansing them. The total cost for the pur chase of the property and the repairs and altera tions was over £2,600, towards meeting which ex penditure and for annual subscriptions for the sup port of the girls an earnest appeal was now made. There were now 44 inmates in this house and 48 girls in the home, 19, Broad-street. The committee intended to increase the number to 50 in each home, so that they might have 100 girls under their care. The girls in each home are fed, clothed, lodged, educated, and trained for domestic service. They are taught all kinds of domestic work, so as to fit them as far as possible to become useful and efficient servants. Since the establishment of the homes down to the close of last year 710 girls had been admitted, and 586 had been sent to service at home or abroad, or otherwise provided for. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, said he was quite satisfied that this undertaking was one of paramount importance in the present conditionof the country. He had long been of this opinion, and he had hoped that greater efforts would have been made ere now for the welfare of such poor girls as were intended to be benefited by this association They had established many reformatories and other institutions for the benefit of boys; but it was only lately that the idea seemed to have been enter tained that the girls were entitled to an equal share of public consideration. All history showed—and experience supported the lessons they learnt from history—that the moral condition of the male population depended, to a great extent, upon the character of the women. (Hear, hear.) It was not so much the employers of labour as the fathers and mothers of the children who were responsible for the degradation which beset a large portion of the juve nile community. The present movement was one in which everybody (from the Queen on the throne to the costermonger) had a personal interest. (Hear.) The object of this home was to provide good domestic servants, and he sincerely trusted that it might achieve the same success which had attended the operations of the Chichester training ship. The scheme was undoubtedly a very large one, and it was eminently deserving of public sup port, seeing that it was calculated to give to this country a new generation of wives and mothers. (Cheers.) The Rev. W. Belton, Mr. J. H. Fordham, Judge Payne, and others, severally addressed the meeting to a similar effect, and the proceedings terminated with a collection of subscriptions at the entrance door. NATIONAL REFORM UNION.. A meeting of the executive committee was held in Manchester on Tuesday evening. The agent, Mr. J. D. Morton, read a voluminous correspon dence from members of Parliament, secretaries of branch associations, vice-presidents, and others interested in the question of Parliamentary Reform. The agent reported that the Knares borough branch had held a public meeting to protest against the Lords' amendments, and ,that a petition had been forwarded to Mr. J. Holden, M.P., for presentation to the House of Commons. Meetings had &so been held at Warrington, Roch dale, Bradford, Glossop, and many other towns, and petitions adopted, though, as it appeared, un fortunately with no effect, so far as concerned the clause which provided for the partial disfranchise ment of Manchester and other constituencies having three or more representatives. Reports were re ceived from several towns, in reply to a circular issued by the executive, stating the unsatisfactory way in many respects in which the bill would affect them. In a communication from Mr. T.Wimhurst, of Glossop, it was stated :—" As far as we are able to estimate, this bill, should it become law, will give about 100 new voters in the town of Glossop. The members of our branch think the bill a good instal many people for a ieve that the present m f e e w n t y , ea and rs, o b n u et theythau ut omaycannot t satisfy b el unjust redistribution scheme is at all a settlement, nor can they rest content with such a state of the law as allows 5,000 or 7,000 inhabitants to return a member, _while Glossop,with a population of 20,000, has to rest content with a part only of a county member. They would prefer that the House of Commons should reject the bill altogether rather than accept the restrictive amendments of the Lords. Mr. Morton informed the committee that be had duly forwarded to Mr. Thomas Bazley, M.P., the petition adopted by the meeting held on Tues day week in the Free Trade Hall, and that he had received the following reply : " Yester day I had the honour, in the midst of the cheers of the house, of presenting the petition which you confided to my care. I feel deeply humiliated that the future voting power of the first manufacturing and mercantile city of the world may be reduced to the level of the most insignificant borough." Several letters from Mr. Hugh Mason, deputy president of the union, were read, in one of which the writer, referring to the three cornered clause, said—" I do not know when I felt so dis heartened as I now feel with the minority' clause. Cranborne I can understand, and Lowe I can under stand, but these impracticable philosophers, Mill, Fawcett, Hare, and Co., are very queer people. Earl Russell grieves one most of anybody. How ever, we must not cave in. We must take fresh courage, and go on working. The new Parliament may be made to do great things for us." A length ened discussion on the minority clause, especially as it would affect the constituency of Manchester and the other large towns, followed, and the committee adopted the following resolution : —"That this meet ing of the executive of the National Reform Union hereby expresses its unqualified disapproval of the minority clause introduced into the Reform Bill by the House of Lords, and accepted by the House of Commons, as being unjust, unprecedented, and un constitutional ; furthermore pledges itself to use all constitutional means for obtaining its repeal." No tice was given that a special meeting of the execu tive would be held at an early date, to take into consideration the Beform Bill just passed, and the manner in which it is likely to affect the borough and county constituencies of England and Wales. It was also intimated that the conference of dele gates from the various branches, previously resolved upon, would be held some time about the end of September, when the character of the present measure of reform, and the future course of action of the organisation, would be fully considered and discussed. THE SULTANS RETURN TO CONS7AN• TEVOPLE. (From the Levant Herald of Aug. 7.) At nine o'clock this morning the prolonged roar of the guns from the men of war in the harbour and the laud batteries, and the sharp roll of musketry from the troops who lined both shores of the Bosphorus, announced the Sultan's return to Constantinople after his memorable six weeks' journey to Western Europe. His Majesty and his suite reached Scullin on Friday the 2d inst., and, accompanied by Midhat Pasha, governor of the vilaet of the Danube, and some Bulgarian notabili ties, who had gone on to Pesth to meet him, arrived on Sunday evening last, the 4th, at Rustschuk, and left yesterday (Tuesday) morning, by the Rust schuk and Varna Railway, for Varna, which he reached at a quarter past four in the afternoon. A correspondent writes that great preparations had been made there for his arrival. A new jetty had been built near the custom-house for his Majesty to embark from; the caimakain had ordered all the the streets had been whitewashed ;the traders erleesaunit s wept,bt being iri fumigate gatni a tth Varna als walls presented quite a spruce appear ance. The Gra nd Vizier and the Seraskie r had both left for Varna and Ruschuk since Wed nesday last to meet their Sovereign. A'ali Pasha having expressed a wish to go by an Austrian steamer, the Austrian Lloyd's agency here placed one of the finest vessels of its line, the Neptune at his high ness's disposal. On arriving at Varna at 4.15 p.m. yesterday the Sultan must have gone straight on board the Sultanieh, and started at once, for it was quick work for the imperial flotilla to cross the Black Sea and make the Bosphorus this morning after a run of only 16 hours. Notice was issued from the Grand Vizier's office last night, and this morning the heads of the vario us religious communities of the capital, the Turkish civil, military, and ecclesiastical functionaries in vessels provided by the Government, and members of the diplomatic corps in the despatch boats of the embassies, went out to the entrance of the Bosphorus to welcome the Sultan home. The nuts of his approaching arrival gave a fresh stimu lus to the preparations making here for his recep tion, and the finishing touches are now being given in all directions to arrangements of flags and festive devices, garlands, and triumphal arches. The shores of the Bosphorus will be ablaze with light, and it seems lik e ly th a t B e bek and Einirghia n especially will be the chief centres of attraction. Great ingenuity and taste have been lavished on the yali of the Viceroy, up on a raft in fro nt of which a graceful little Ea erected, whence fireworks w ill temple has been will be discharged. The illuminations o f th e pa l a ces of Mustap ha. Kiritli Pasha and of the Persian Minister promise to be conspicuous for their brilliancy ; a large triumphal arch at the landing place of the latter is crowned with the Persia n an d the Turkish flags . The gar dens of the G ran d Vi z i er at Bebek will sp arkle with the illuminated device of P a dishah tchok yasha' (long live the P a di s h a h), and with a o rescent sur rounded by a constellation of stars, standing out in vivid relief against the dark-wooded heights in the rear. The adjacent handsome palace of Kimil Pasha will also be bright with a light. All along the quay, in front of the Hakim Bashi's yali, now inhabited by the Minister of war, thousands of lamps are hung, repreentin , various combinations of military trophies. In all directions, ill fact, the coining fete in honour of the Sultan's return from Europe promises to be the finest ever witnessed in the Turkishcapital. The festivities will continue for three days, during which the custom -house and all the public offices will be closed, and there will be three nights' illuminations. The whole cit y is gay with flags and decorations, an d alive with anima tion. To-morrow evening the G rand Vizier will give a grand official and diplomatic dinner at Bebek, to which 300 guests are invited, and on Fri day evening the public fete will take place at his highness's yali, at which there i s a rumour that the Sultan himself will be present. T he release of small debtors and of persons convicted of minor crimes ; large sums given in charity ; a nd a general amnesty for all political and prese offences, are spoken of," Lord Palmerston on Gunnery. The following letter, written by Lord Palmerston ;en years ago in the midst of his numberless avoca- tions as Prime Minister, affords so remarkable an illustration of the activity of his mind and of the prompt, vigorous grasp which he was capable of taking of matters of scientific interest that it seems well worth preserving. The letter was submitted or opinion by Lord Panmure to the officer whom ue usually consulted at that period :on subjects of gunnery, with the following characteristic note : " My dear —,—Read and inform me on the ab struse philosophy of our Prime Minister ; I wonder where - we are to find a circular range of a mile radius.—PANMURE." Lord Palmerston's letter is as follows :—" December 20, 1857. My dear Pan- inure,—There is an investigation which it would be important and at the same time easy to make, and that is whether the rotation of the earth on its axis has any effect on the curve of a cannon ball in its flight. One should suppose that it has, and that while the cannon ball is flying in the air, impelled by the gun-powder in a straight line from the can non's mouth, the ball would not follow the rotation of the earth in the same manner which it would do if lying at rest on the earth's surface. If this be so, a ball fired in the meridianal direction, that is to say, due north or due south, ought to deviate to the west of the object at which it was aimed, because during the time of flight that object will have gone to the east somewhat faster than the cannon will have done. In like manner a ball fired due east ought to fly less far upon the earth's surface than a ball fired due west, the charges being equal, the elevation the same, and the atmosphere perfectly still. It must be remembered, however, that the ball even after it has left the cannon's mouth will retain the motion from west to east which it had before received by the rotation of the earth on whose surface it was, and it is possible therefore that ex cept at very long ranges the deviation above men tioned may in practice turn out to be very small, and not deserving the attention of au artilleryman. The trial might be easily made in any place in which a free circle of a mile or more radius could be obtained ; and a cannon placed in the centre of that circle, and fired alternately north, south, east, and west, with equal charges, would afford the means of ascertaining whether each shot flew the same distance or not.—Yours sincerely, PALMER STON." It has been ascertained that the rotation of the earth produces a sensible effect on the oscillat ing pendulum. The error into which Lord Palmer ston fell of supposing that the deviation of a ball fired due north or south would invariably be wes. terly will not escape notice. The deviation due to the earth's rotation is of course different in each hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere the devia tion is alwa) '3 to the right of the gun, in the southern hemisphere it is always to the left. Thus the de viation of a gun fired north in the northern hemis phere is east ; when firing south it is west ; when the practice takes place in the southern hemisphere it is west in a shot travelling north, and east in a ' shot travelling south. The subject is one which has often engaged the attention of philosophers, to whom it has more interest than it can ever possess for prac tical men ; for so many corrections have to be applied and the error is in itself so small that the deviation of projectiles due to cosmical causes may well be disregarded, and the experiments which Lord Pal merston suggested were never instituted. But Lord I'almerston's letter possesses an interest quite inde pendent of its practical value, and has been pub lished by Lord Dalhousie's permission in the current number of the Proceedings of the Royal Artillery Institution.—Pall-111a11 Gazette. ASSIZE IN7 ELLIG EN CE. 110111 E CIRCUIT.-CROYDON, Aug. 15, (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.) HEAVY DAMAGES FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT. The case of " Fislaley v. Cooper and another" was an action to recover damages for wrongful dis- missal and false imprisonment upon a charge of em• bezzlement. The defendants pleaded in effect tha the plaintiff was guilty of the offence of which they had accused him, and that they were, therefore, jus tified in the course they adopted. Sergeant Parry and Mr. Bosley were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Talfourd Salter for the defendants. This case occupied the court a considerable time, and the circumstances were of a somewhat extraordinary character The plaintiff had been a commercial traveller and collector for seve ral highly respectable firms in the City prior to his introduction to the defendants, who arc wholesale grocers in Lime-street. He was engaged by them in April to travel about the country to collect orders and receive moneys, the salary to be paid to him being £l5O a year, and V. a day travel ling expenses. At the time of entering the service of the defendants he had made a proposal to a guarantee society, with which a certain amount of insurance was to have been effected, but owing, as was alleged on the part of the plaintiff, to some mistake the guarantee was not completed, and therefore upon the counts relating to the wrongful dismissal it was admitted that the defendants were entitled to a verdict. The question relating to the false imprisonment was of a much more serious character. Very shortly after plaintiff's engage ment he, while on a journey, sent a statement of moneys received, among which was a sum of £ll 16s. 6d. from ono customer, which he had duly entered. The total amount he received was not transmitted. Some correspondence then took place, the result being that the plaintiff was ordered to return home to make out a statement of accounts, which he did. The defendants were not, however, satisfied, and they discharged the plaintiff, after he had been in their service only about four weeks. A certain amount of money was at this time in his hands upon balance, and he made a claim for salary, which not only absorbed the balance in his hands, but made defendants his debtors. As he kept the money, one of the firm went to the Mansion-house to see whether a charge of embezzlement could be supported, and to obtain a warrant for the appre hension of the plaintiff, when one of the clerks, upon his stating the facts, expressed a strong opinion that a magistrate would not be justified in granting a warrant. Notwithstanding this the defendants obtained the assistance of a City detective officer, who apprehended the plaintiff upon the charge of embezzling the sum of £ll 163. 6d., and he was locked up all day and night, and in the morning he was taken before the Lord Mayor, who adjourned the inquiry for a week, but admitted the plaintiff to bail. At the next hearing Mr. Wontner, the solicitor, attended for the defendants,; and ad mitted that he was unable to support the charge of embezzlement, and the plaintiff was then dis- Naval and Military Intelligence. It is usual at this season to detach " flying columns" from the Aldershott division to march certain routes and encamp at various halting places. Accordingly a column, consisting of the 54th, 56th, and 70th Regiments, a field battery, and a regiment of cavalry, will leave the camp on Tues day next for Sandhurst. The Ist battalion 18th (the Royal Irish) Regi ment, under the command of Colonel Call, now stationed at Aldershott, is held in readiness to move from the camp at an early date. The head quarters and four companies will proceed to Ches ter, two companies to Liverpool, two companies to Bradford, and two companies to Weedon. The 65th Regiment, under the command of Col. Wyatt, C. 8., now stationed at Aldershott, is under orders to leave the camp for Ireland, and is ex pected to proceed to its destination about the 12th proximo. The dismounted detachment of A battery, C Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, at Aldershott, is under orders to leave the Farnborough station of the South-Western Railway this morning, and pro ceed to Dorchester. The move of B battery, C Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, is deferred until early next month, on account of a detachment be ing ordered to Shoeburyness for practice. A general court-martial, under the presidency of Colonel C. Cameron Shute, 4th Dragoon Guards, assembled on Wednesday in the court-martial room at Aldershott, No. 17 hut, " Q" lines, South Camp, for the trial of prisoners. The principal business was to investigate the serious case of insubordina tion in the Ist (King's) Dragoon Guards, which was noticed in 7'he Sun a few weeks ago. The finding and sentence will not be known for some time. A Court of Inquiry, consisting of a field-officer of the Ist brigade, an engineer officer, and an officer of the barrack department, assembled at the hut on the iron bridge in the South Camp at Aldershott, on Wednesday, to investigate and report upon the circumstances under which a fire broke out in the hut on the 9th inst., and also the quantity of bar rack furniture injured.

A few doses of these pills always prove a simple, safe, an d cooling treatment for all stomach and liver complaints ;.a longer course will set right every organ whose action is impaired, strengthen every structure whose tone is diminished, and renovate that blood whose put ity is tainted.

TlMES.—After a perseverance worthy of a better and a happier cause Mr. Hardy has succumbed, and the Parks' Regulation Bill has disappeared for the session. We congratulate the public on thiscon cession, and thank Mr. Hardy for perceiving, though very tardily, that his measure was too inop portune to be carried through Parliament. It is, however, to be regretted he should proclaim that ho yields solely to compulsion, and that he withdraws the bill only because a strong-lunged minority threatens to talk for a month rather than let it pass. Persistence carried to the point of obstinacy, and then followed by a sudden collapse of purpose, does not add to the reputation of a Minister or a party. Mr. Hardy, who has been, perhaps, secretly incited by a desire to avoid the weakness of his predecessor, appears in the end before the public in not a very different guise ; for both Ministers, after challeng ing a pertinacious opposition, have yielded to it at the last moment, and the victory of Mr. Beales out side the House is not very unlike that of the Radical obstructors within it. When Mr. Hardy proposed yesterday that the character of the-bill should bo altered, that the first clause—the prohibition of public meetings in the Parks—shouldte withdrawn, and that it should become a mere Regulation Bill, the penalty being made £5 instead of - 405., it was not difficult to see the end of the measure. It was a fatal error in generalship to make such a display of irresolution at the last moment, and to convince the minority that one more afternoon of talk would gain their ends. The objection of moderate men was not to legislation absolutely, but to present legisla tion. They believed that the Government bill, brought in on the eve of the Demonstration of May last, coupled in everybody's mind with the undig nified though necessary withdrawal of the Ministry from a conflict with the crowd, and with the down fall of Mr. Walpole, was a measure that ought to be abandoned and, if possible, forgotten. That mea sure had been modified on a previous occasion, and the debate of Tuesday turned on a proposal essentially different from that which the former Home Secretary had laid before Parliament. Amid all the verbiage of that debate it was plainly to be seen that the sense of the Opposition was not against a proper regulation of the Parks, but against a bill which had already changed its original character, and which could only pass in a very muti lated form ; while to pass it at all might provoke acts of violence. Mr. Hardy might have seen that the new alterations he proposed yesterday would - remove none of the objections to the scheme. It may be advisable, as a matter of local police, to place the Royal parks under the same regulations as those which have been made by the Metropolitan Board of Works ; but to do this now would be no less a demonstration by Parliament against the League, and a challenge to that pertinacious body, than if its leaders had been mentioned by name. Such has been plainly the sense of the public, and, in spite of the official majority which the Govern ment gained yesterday, we have no doubt it is the sense of the house. Everybody, not excepting her Majesty's Ministers, will be glad that the matter is at an end, and the only reason for regret is that the whole of one afternoon and a large part of another have been wasted at a period of the session when every hour is valuable. It may be that one or two bills of importance will have to be thrown over because the Government has desired to display its consistency and make a parade of its firmness. There is little cause to fear for the preservation of Hyde Park during the recess, and the comfort of those who frequent it. In the dull months of autumn and winter Hyde Park is little visited, even though the three millions of Londoners do not follow the " upper ten thousand" and their nurserymaids into the country. If, after a short interval of repose, Messrs. Beales and Dickson think it necessary to " demonstrate " anew amid the mists of November or the chill of January, they may have the park pretty nearly to themselves, The Government must be content to keep the peace by means of the existing law, and we doubt not it is sufficiently strong for practical purposes. Of course it is rather unfair that only the small flies should be caught in its meshes, while such bluebottles as the chiefs of the League break through. But such is the order of destiny, and should there be any real annoyance to the public through the defective powers of the Executive, the next Session of Par liament will find the country more tranquil, and the House of Commons in a better condition to examine the subject.
