some 1.e,1d Hibernian warriors were heard to de clare they saw him "doubling" in the distance, which, considering the darkness, was rather a daring assertion. Finally, the spy—if spy it was, and not some new-come Englishman riding' home to his quarters—escaped unscathed. Not soca can teen, which the seekers after the spy entered by mistake and nearly emptied under prete'Fice of seeking him. The miscellaneous intelligence that has accumu lated since my last letter has almost cease to be matter of conve rsa ti on h e r e , owi n g t o th e stronger interest excited by yesterday's fight and tp-day's bombardment. I regret to announce the dbath in the trenches of Captain and Adjutant Drummond, of the Scotch Fusilier Guards, who was buried at Cathcart'S-hill on Tuesday evening. A very large number of officers of th e brigade of Guards! and of other regiments followed his corpse to the grave. Captain I\l‘Gowan of the 93d Regiment, was wounded in three places, and taken prisone4, while visiting his sentries a few nights ago. Through a flag of truce, sent ft-cm-the ships, a note was re ce7.ved from him, and money and other necessaries conveyed to him. The contemplated formation of six divisions out of the five of which thi army consisted has taken place. For particul t Ars see, general after-orders of the 13th inst. It is reported that the Russians really Contem plated an attack on Monday morning, but that two deserters from the 93d, who went over to them on Sunday night, informed them that all was in readi ness for their reception, and they accordingly de sisted from their intention. The 15th of August, the fete day of the Emperor of the French, was celebrated with due honours. The French army was reviewed by divisions ; altars, surrounded by such trophies and decorations as could be got up here (guns, branches, &cJ), were raised, and mass was performed at them. The French soldiers had an extra ration of wine. The salute fired by the fleet at noon caused a number of persons in the English camp, who had forgotten the motive of the broadside, to run up to elevated points, in the belief that the fleet was attacking the forts. A review of the British cavalry was tip ' have taken place at 6 this morning, but was postponed in consequence of yesterday's action. There would have been about 3,000 men on the ground, but that is less than the effective strength. Colonel Macmurdo, commanding the Land Trans port Corps, and Major Napier, his second in com• wand, have gone on board ship in consequence of ill health. The latter proceeds to Malta. It is re ported that Generals Airey and Jones are indis posed, but this is not yet confirmed. A very large number of carts of stores entered Sebastopol this evening. The amount of the rein forcements that had actually reached the fortress was exaggerated. Only two divisions arrived in time for the action on the Tchernaya, but three others are close at hand.. AUGUST 18. The fire continued more or less all night, at times heavy. This morning it is not very severe. As I write the funeral of poor Captain Oldfield is taking place. It appears that he was careless about exposing himself. He was hit in three places by fragments of shell. Half-past 12 o'clock.--There has been some very heavy firing since I wrote the preceding lines. Upon the whole the results of the cannonade ap pear pretty satisfactory. The Redan has suffered a g ood deal. Our fi re h as b een very we ll di recte d , and that of the Malakhoff has been considerably checked. GENERAL ORDERS. GENERAL AFTER ORDERS.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29 1855 THE WAR POETRY OF THE LAUREATE. TO ALFRED TENNYSON, 1),,,L e , i (From, the Weekly DisTateh.) " amenable to i t e o i m literary criticism. .With t trill cis S o 1 , , 11 —As apoet patriotyoutoare political re gard to the firstt b h e a r t ,, is m n a o u t d , m , b y e ~b m u sa n u e d s i s i . o ,,, lor whether tie not ir inquire here whether its beauties add another leaf to youthe warreeatbthosewwhhicihobynoau My dealings - wor thily wear. with torally take place between apolitical criticand a political writer. Such you are, to a certain extent, in the poem of " Maud ;" and yet more directly in one or two of the appended compositions. Your spirit is too manly to shelter yourself under any plea of poetical privilege. You know that "song is but the eloquence of truth,' and by the truth of principles must it be judged. The bard who sings falsely is as justly censurable as the historian who records falsely. Perhaps more so; for to misguide the feel ' lugs of the people may be a more grievous offence than to mislead their judgments on a matter of fact. I hold, therefore, that all poets are morally answerable for their politics, so far, I mean, as they express, and thereby en force, a certain phase of political thought in their poetical compositions. Thus I esteem you eminently praiseworthy for the many noble songs of progress scattered through your publications. They combine for you the honours due to poet, patriot, and philanthropist. They win for you the civic crown as well as the bays. As Laureate, you have a yet further and peculiar responsibility. The office is not exclusively nominal or honorary. It is something more than merely the excuse for a pension. It is something besides the Royal adjudication to you of the highest merit in poetry of which the empire can boast. The age of Birth-day Odes is happily gone. To that servile mummery you have never been condemned. With Pye it departed, and for ever. Illustrious predecessors had raised and dignified the office before you were nominated to it. But it has not, therefore, become a mere sinecure. You are the Laureate of Queen Victoria, the Sovereign of the British empire. Of you it may reasonably be expected that when the country sustains a great loss, in the death say of one of its greatest men, you give articulate sound to the public sorrow in some noble dirge ; that when the nation's heart swells high with joyor triumph, you harmo nise the tone of exultation; or that when it is needful to import some heroic impulse to the public mind, you point to the glory that shines afar, and join your trumpet call to the inspiring'pursuit. To these claims yon have responded, con ceding thereby the justice and fairness of the right which I would now exercise of criticising what you have done, and the manner in which you have done it. And first, I must take exception to your description of the national cbaracter as affected by the long peace. 'lt is an egregious and disgraceful caricature. It dishonours the country, and is most untrue to the facts. It is one sided ; and the one side which it presents is inexcusably darkened. That long peace tends to selfishness, and that we had by no means altogether escaped that taint, I know very well. This was part of the theme of my last letter. In that I depicted the transition, which may be ascribed to the war, from a species of contented and sor did selfishness to one of large and generous sympathies. But it cannot be conceded to you of the blessings of peace, that " we have made them a curse." We were not " pickpockets, each hand lusting for all that is not its own." There was no such degradation as to justify the question, " Who but a fool would have faith in a trades man's ware or his word ?" Peace had nothing to do with the poor being " hovelled and hustled together, each sex, like swine ;" in fact, peace was exploring remedies and palliations for these social evils. True, while we see "Peace in her vineyard," "a company forges the wine;" but the adulteration in our port goes on quite as largely in time of war. And so the wife-beating under the in fluence of drink, the "chalk, alum,' and plaster sold to the poor for bread," the lying down armed "for the villainous centre-bit," the poisoned potion of the apothe- I and the "mammonite mother" that "kills her babe for a burial fee," why all these have just as much to do with war as with peace. Nay, it might be shown of some of them that they are more likely to be promoted by the privations of war than by the plentifulness of peace. The "mammonite mother" is a right-down calumny ; it is not, like the other allegations, a gross exaggeration ; it was originally only a suspicion, and it has been so disproved as to demolish all right to assert it as a fact, unless, perchance, in a rare case of monomania, which has no business in such a catalogue. One pauses and asks oneself, wonderingly, what grains and atoms of truth there are in this detestable picture ? And if there be some petty fragments of reality, still one inquires how far they can plausibly be said to affect the national character—it what way they can be traced to either peace or war, by any logical connection of cause and effect—how a people, so sunk and lost, could ever, by the bare proclamation of war, be roused up into a high-spirited and generous nation —nay, and how it could possibly happen that such a people could be not only capable of honourable transformation, but should itself be the moving and impelling power that actually goaded on its reluctant rulers, and with difficulty commanded and enforced obedience in them to its own warlike spirit. Perhaps you will disown these foul imputations, and tell us you write dramatically— that you depict the deeply embittered feelings of the hero of your poem—that we are to suppose you in a state of metempsychosis with the impoverished son of a ruined and perhaps murdered father. But that will not serve. Your hero goes mad afterwards, but he is not such a fool as to gene ralise in this wholesale way from a private misfortune. He is quite in his senses a little further on, and that, too, before requited love has brightened the world to his per ceptions. He characterises very justly the broad-brimmed hawker of holy things, whose ear is " stuft with hie cotton," and who would " priach our poor little army down." He joins in the general aversion and contempt for the Peace-mongering tribe. So your vituperations on the national character in time of Peace have no more of dramatic consistency than they have of historical truth. The nation was ripe fur war in the time of peace. It was then, as now, just and generous. Half a century of quietude and commerce, 'and prosperity had not " so effaced the image of our sires" as to render us lh-tless on-lookers at Russian aggression. I will not say that the public responded to the cry to arms ;" the pub lic originated the cry. They left response to their rulers only. It was their determination " that an iron tyranny now should bend or cease." They would not allow that " Britain's one sole God" should " be the millionaire." They never had established or tolerated that idolatry. It was not their will that " commerce" should be " all in all." And when the hero of your poem Stood on a giant deck and mixed his breath With a loyal people shouting a battle-cry, he only added his individual mite to 'the popular enthu shim. Away, then, with your calumnies on the natio nal character as it stood after those long years of peace. Blot them out. You have often blotted better things, as I shall presently have to show. Your national de scription is a nauseous compound of disgraceful excep tions. It is a picture of the sun as only . a congeries of spots. Rise,into truth and justice; and, so be our coun try's bard and o ur S overe i gn ' s L aureate. Your volume closes with the mangled corpse of the most glorious of martial lyrics in modern times—" The Charge of the Light Brigade." It is no more like itself. " than Ito Hercules." For these extraordinary omissions I must call you to account. They commence with the second stanza. You first delete the following :-- Into the Valley of Death . Rode.the six hundred, For up came an order which Some one had tdundered. "Forward, the Light Brigade ! Take the guns," Nolan. said— Into the valley of Death • . Rde the six hundred. You afterwards tell us that No man was there dismaed • Not though th e soldier knyew Some one had hlundered - . All this you have obliterated. And why ? Wherefore do you suppress the fact 'that the 'command for that famous Balaklava charge was a blunder I will not seek to divine your motives ; a misplaced charity for the dead perhaps ; or a more misplaced leniency towards the living ; but, vvhateverthe inducement, the omission.falsi. ties the fact. • The-blunder is abundantly proved. It was a disgraceful and sanguinary blunder in itself, though the devoted heroism of the deed eclipsed the mistake in its blaze of glory. But that there was carelessness and am biguity of expression in the original order—that there was want of- distinct understanding on the part of I.ord Lucan_.that there was Misinterpretation on the part of Capt. Nolan --and that there was fatal acquiescence on the part of Lord Cardigan —all this is in proof, by the letter of Lord Raglan, and the various facts elicited in the Parliamentary discussions. It suited the tactics of the d ter up ; patched da h 7u u cp s e h a e f os. d ri fy upoi you, ,w tw Te r a t s ; Government and of th e party leaders to hush the mat odnisßleyouatsstiliat was no prece dentwere ormonissuinndPerasrtalianindienngt between Lords Lucan and Cardigan, and a private inter• ference of Lord Hardiuge to order the former home, at the request of Lord Raglan. The responsibility of all of them for the lives of the brave soldiers thrown away in utter waste by the blunderingsamongst them was blinked altogether. All was slurred over, upon the principla of least said soonest mend e d. T hat was no reason why you should not speak out. You b a d spo k en out. Your words had pealed likea trumpet overthe land. And now you suppress, you recant and shirk, Oh ! this is miserable. For the blundering, and the cognisance of the blunder, are no important part of the transaction. Th ey are essential to a full meed of justice to the soldiery. They knew that they went to certain destruction. Th at admirable and graphic chronicler of the war, Mr.. tßus sell, riff the Times, says, "Don Quixotte. in his tilt agai nst the windmill; was not near so rash or reckless as the gallant fellows who prepared without a thought to rush on almost certain death." Yes, " reckless" in one sense they were ; b u t not in the sense of not seeing the peril of the enterprise and the madness of the order. Peace to their names. ' But for the to -their souls and g lo r y sake of no conventional respect for the dead, of no scrupulosity, as regards the living, let us allow one iota to be abstracted from the justice due to them in their heroic self-sacrifice. Let what may become of our Lucans and Cardigans, of our Nolans and Aireys, of our Rag lans and Hardinges, justice to the memory of the de voted should be paramount. Its omission would be discreditable to you, Sir; its retractation by suppres sion is what it grieves me to charge you with. The fault'is fart greater' than that of having enfeebled and ernaiculated one of the grandest offsprings of your muse, one of the noblest outpourings of your excited spirit. It - offends agNinst moral truth and historical justice. Your besetting sin is that of making alterations and suppressions after you have published.. I recommend all who possess them to preserve and prize the earlier editions of yOur poems. They have treasures of beauty of which you have since done your best to rob the world. But this is matter of taste only ; which, were I inditing n a literarY cr i t i c i sm, I should not despair of substantiat "g,' but which i s b es ide my p resent purpose. This ten dencyo of yOurs does not and cannot account for the conjs. sign oh whiCh I have been commenting. There is evi dently; in this case, an ulterior reason. You have marred - the beauty Of the laurel wreath which you had woven for the 300 fallen heroes, by suppressing the fact that they were martyrs to the blunders of their com• xii,andero. , 1 9 thi s ou hap waxed the living ; but, as FlThink, at the 'expdtish ilittA dead ; you have shaded' the glory of the soldier, to leave untarnished the wisdom of the officer. This is a weak tenderness which the country cannot afford. Rather let us echo the sarcasm of the Russian, who said, " Your men are lions, but your officers are donkeys." Physical bravery they have, no doubt, plenty of pluck, but more than that goes to the composition of the hero who is appointed to be the leader of heroes. Here has been the great failure of our military operations. We are rich in enthusiasm in the fight ; we want skill in the command. Our Generals are yet to arise. We desiderate the fulfilment of your prediction that— Many a darkness into the light shall leap, And shine in the sudden tasking of splendid names. Speedily may such splendours burst upon ns ; and glo riously may you celebrate them in rich strains of soul stirring melody, " unmixed with baser matter." PUBLICOLA. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Scott was charged with stealing two valuable gold watches, under the following circumstances. Elizabeth Ann Price deposed that she was in the ser vice of Mrs. Keeling, of No. 4, Buckingham-place, Fitz roy-square, and that about half-past two in the after noon of Saturday last she was waiting at table when a knock came to the door. She answered, and saw the prisoner, who walked into the passage and stood against the back parlour door. She asked him who and what he wantel, when he said it was all right, be wanted to see Mrs. Keeling, who was his aunt. She told him she was in the kitchen, and she would go and fetch her. Witness then went away, leaving him in the passage by the door, which was c.pen, and when she returned a few minutes after, be was gone. About ten minutes after, two valuable gold watches were missed from the back parlour. Catherine Sims said she occupied apartments in Mrs. Keeling's house, and about half-past two on Saturday afternoon she placed a gold watch and chain, her pro perty, and a gold gatch belonging to a gentleman who was dining with her, on a dressing-table in the back par lour, and directly after the prisoner left the house she missed them. No other person had been there. The prisoner, who offered no defence, was remanded fora week. WESTMINSTER.—Ayoung woman named Symonn, with an infant in her arms, applied to Mr. Arnold under the following circumstances :—• She stated that her husband enlisted on the 15th of February last, as driver in the Land Transport Corps, at which time an arrangement was entered into for his wife to receive 31. 15s. every two months. She received that amount in April, but had been unable to procure a single shilling since, owing to which she and her children were in a state• of destitution. She had applied to the War office, to the Land Transport Carps Office, and other places, but without obtaining her money, and on writing to her husband in the Crimea, he returned her word that he was unable to obtain his money there, and recom mended her to apply to a magistrate. They were now continuing to enlist men for the corps in the Waterloo road. Mr. Arnold said that the publicity given to these re peated complaints which had been before him was highly discred , table to the persons having the control of these matters. He ccmmiserated the poor woman, but was afraid he could not assist her. He would, however, send an officer to where they were now enlisting, and see whether anything could bo done for her. LAMBETH.— William, Winsor, a journeyman car penter, who is one of twelve persons of the same trade who have been employed by Sir Joseph Paxton to join the land forces in the Crimea, was brought before Mr. Elliott on a warrant charging him with deserting his wife and two children, and being about to leave the country without making auy provision for their future sustenance. From the statement of his wife, who is a person of lady-like appearance, but who appears to be double his age, it appeared that she had been frequently ill-used, and once before he deserted her, and finding that he had entered into an engagement with Sir J. Paxton to go out to the Crimea, and was on the point of leaving the country without making the slightest provision for her self and children, she applied to the parish officers of Newington, and they took out a warrant for his ap prehension. Locker, one of the summoning officers, deposed to having taken the prisoner into custody at the office of Sir J. Paxton, in Spring•gardens, and there ascertained that he was under an engagement to sail by the Antelope on Saturday next. The prisoner admitted that this was the fact, and com plained of the conduct of his wife. Mr. Ellott, however, committed him to the House of Correction for 14 days ; but on his promising to devote Bs. a week of his pay during his absence, he was allowed to go at large. George Warren, a married man, who is a potman'and waiter at a tavern on Peckham Rye, and who had been examined on the day before on a charge of indecently assaulting and attempting to rob Miss Maria Murrell, was placed at the bar. The particulars of the case appeared in yesterday's Su2/. When the prisoner was placed at the bar a policeman informed the magistrate that the prosecutrix was not in attendance. He also said that on the night before her sister called at the station•bouse to make inquiries about her, - and said she had not slept at her house on Sunday night, as she had falsely stated in her evidence, nor was she to be found at the house of her aunt, whom she said she visited as well as her sister. The prisoner declared that he made no attempt what- ever Co rob the young lady. With respect to the other part of the charge, all that had taken place between them was with her perfect consent. Mr. Elliott discharge() the prisoner. - • THAMES.—Two respectable-looking women, named Macdonald and Fox, were charged before Mr. Yardley with being disorderly in the Commercial-road. Mac donald said she lived at No. 1, Grove-street, Commer cial-road ; the other at No. 12, Russell-street, Mile-end. Mrs. Macdonald, while blaming the policeman, ad mitted they were returning home the worse for liquor when they met him. Mr. Yardley lectured both women at some length upon their discreditable position. They were both appa rently respectable married women, and one of them, Mrs. Macdonald, had two boys growing up. He was sorry to say that the practice of drunkenness among the married women of the district was very prevalent, and the vice did not seem to affect them as it did ordi nary minds. It was a growing evil. He told the women to go home and make inquiries, and- if they could find any sober persons who saw the transaction, and could prove the policeman ill-used them, he would grant a summons. GREENWICH.—John Brown was charged before Mr. Train with attempting to evade a toll, and commit ting an askault upon the attendant. From the evidence it appeared that on Monday after noon the p r i soner went to the Halfpenny-batch, ,Rother ithe, and attempted to pass through without - paying the demand. On the attendant (a little boy) requesting him to pay he most positively refused, and endeavoured to force his way. The little fellow resisted all in. his power, when the prisoner gave him a slap on the face. Th e b oy then called hi s mother, who, on appearing, was a b use d by the prisoner, and threatened to be knocked doivn. A gentleman having witnessed the proceedings interferred, and told him if he wished to pass he must pay tbe toll. Prisoner replied th a t h e would not, and immediately struck at the gentleman which wa s f or t una t e l y p a rr i ed. Repeating his attempts, but unsuccessfully, he ran away, but was followed and then given into custody. Prisoner, who bad no witnesses, denied the charge. The magistrate, after commentin g on his condint, in flicted a fine of 205., or 14 days imprisonment. , The Presse of Vienna announces that trains; direct between Vienna and Paris, by Prague'and Straibourg; will commence running on Saturday n ex t. THE LICENSING OP ALEHOUSES. — Eminent_le4al au thorities, we understand, have given an opinion that justices in boroughs, without a separate oourt of 4uarter' sessions of the peace, have not the power to grant ale house licences. We hear that the borough jus'ti'ces of Sunderland, South Shields, and Tynemoith, ac4ng o n this view of the law, have not granted lieencos )for the ensuing year.— Gateshead Observer. BOW-STREET.—Mr. Duncombe, solicitor (who was accompanied by Mr. E. T. S m ith, the lessee of Drury lane), applied to Mr. Henry for a warrant against a per son named Jenkins, under the following circumstances. The application was made on behalf of a Mr. Thomp son, who has lately arrived in England from America with a couple of African children (girls), who are united in the manner of the celebrated Siamese twins. Accord. ing to the statement made to the court, the children were " apprenticed" to Mr. Thompson, and during their recent stay in London they were domiciled at the Bedford Hotel, Covent-garden, under the charge of Jenkins. Of course they were intended for exhibition ; and while negotia tions were pending with this view the children were sud denly found missing. On inquiry it was found that Jen kins had absconded with there from the Bedford Hotel, and proceeded direct to Scotland, where he is now exhi biting them to the public, at a loss to Mr. Thomp son, as he affirms, of several thousand pounds. When their retreat was discovered, Mr. Thompson hurried to the north and laid his complaint before the judicial authori tie, who, however, expressed their unwillingness to issue a warrant, or to take any steps against Jenkins, unless supported by the authority of a London magistrate, in whose district the alleged abduction of the children took place. Failing in this effort, the complainant sought to proceed against Jenkins on other grounds—preferring a charge of felony, in respect to the clothes in which the African twins were attired, and which he had also taken with him. In this matter they were again referred to the magistrate in whose jurisdiction the offence took place. Mr. Henry said he had no power to grant a warrant, but the person who claimed the children might adopt the course pursued, under somewhat similar circumstances, in the case of the celebrated Hottentot Venus. On tlaatocca sion, it would be remembered, the solicitor representing the complaining parties obtained a judge's order, and the girl was brought up to the Court of Queen's Bench by habeas corpus in order that her own wishes might be ascertained upon the point at issue. No doubt the same course of proceeding was open to Mr. Duncombe, if be thought fit to pursue it on behalf of his clients. Mr. Duncombe thanked his worship for the sugges tion, and thought he should immediately act upon it. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER HAMPTON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Colonel Rushout, M.P., in the chair. Mr. N. T. Smith, the secretary, read the advertise went convening the meeting. The report was taken as raad. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, said the net balance of profit being 13,5581., the directors had set apart the sum of 5,0881., as reserve to meet this difficulty, leaving, therefore, 8,5001. to be divided among the preference shareholders, which was at the rate of 1 per cent. for the half-year. After some observations, the report was adopted. The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolution authorising the directors to raise 49,0001. upon mortage of the Stour bridge extension canals, which was seconded by Mr. J. THORP, and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then submitted a formal resolution, empowering the directors to enter into contracts with the London and North-Western and the Midland Rail way Companies for the working of the Oxford, Worces ter, and Wolverhampton Railway on such conditions as may be agreed upon, which was seconded by Mr. BUSBY, a director. Mr. FENTON moved, as a rider to the resolution, "That a committee of proprietors be appointed to con sult with the directors on the matter of the proposed arrangement for working the line." After a short discussion the proposition was agreed to, and Mr. W. Baynes, Sir Morton Peto, Mr. E. Evans, Mr. B. Oliveira, M.P., Mr. Fenton, and Mr. Tuckett, were appointed members of the committee. A dividend upon the preference stock at the rate of 2 per cent. was then agreed to, payable on and aft er th e 21st of September next ; and a resolution for the con solidation into stock of the shares in the Chipping Nor ton branch having teen also agreed to, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and directors, and the prO ceedings terminated. STAINES, WOKINGHAM, AND WOKING JIINCTIOisI . . The half•yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. Garrard in the chair. The report stated that every exertion has been made to forward the works on the line between Staines and Wokinghatn, but, from circumstances over which the directors had no control, the works are not so far ad vanced as to enable them to open for traffic so soon as they had expected. The contractor, however, asserts that he has every confidence of completing the line during the course of the year. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro• ceediogs. SAMBRE AND MEUSE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes• terday at the offices, Moorgate-street, Mr. W. P. Richards in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has already appearel, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was a very interesting meeting, as they had a complete account of one half year's working. The re ceipts amounted to nearly 29,0001., and the expenses to 19,7501. The expenses were always larger in propor tion to the receipts during the first half-year from the opening of the- line throughout. The present receipts sufficiently indicated what traffic the country would produce, especially when they considered the drawbacks they had had from want of railway stock, not being able to carry the traffic which could be obtained. In addition to the net revenue, there was about 3,5001. due from the Government in respect of the guaranteed branch lines ; it was not now in course of payment, but in due time they would receive it. Several things were mentioned in the last Teport as being unfinished which were now completed. They had mentioned that traffic arrange ments were being made with the Industrial line and the Northern of France Erquelines line ; the preliminaries were now settled, and they only awaited formalities to complete them. They were, there fore, in a very comfortable position, and all they wanted was rolling stook to develope the traffic. The supply of additional working stock would produce a cor responding increase of the traffic. They had no wish to he coal proprietors, but they were pressed into it by the great opposition they had to contend with from coal-' owners and boat-owners ; and, so far as they had acted as coal merchant, they had done exceedingly well. One' of the lines he had mentioned to which the arrangements referred was a junction line to run up to the coalpits, rand the other was to enable the Erquelines line to run through their station end to give the Sambre and Meuse Company fanilities to go to Charleroi. A double line would be made where a single one existed, and the whole arrangement was based upon equitable principles, so as to he mutually advantageous to all parties. Resolutions were p asse d a d op ti ng the report, re-elect .. ing Mr. S'leward and Mr. Lyall, the retiring directors, and fixing for the present the remuneration of the board at 5001. per annum. The meeting then separated. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

A NEW SHELL FROM LIVERPOOL.—It is not very generally known that shells have been cast in thousands weekly at the Vauxhall Foundry, and shipped for Wool wich, where they are tested. At Fawcett's foundry, mortars of large size are being cast, and the shells and the mortars are superior to those supplied from other p l ace ,. The mortars are all proved by hydraulic pres• sure before they leave the foundry. One of the en• gineers at Fawcett's has made an important discovery in the construction of a shell, and the Admiralty and war-office are delighted with the improvement. The shell is cast very thin, and lined inside in a way, which is a secret, to resist the influence of molten iron. With molten iron the shell is to be filled, and, while in a fluid state, fired. Each shell will contain 501bs. of iron in a state of fusion, and where the shell falls destruction cz tend., around ; if on d amp groun d , no man can li e within 50 yards of it. The filling of each shell will take 25 minutes, and there will be no difficulty, in shin or trenches, preparing the molten metal. In ancient times forts were defended by pouring molten lead on the be siegers ; now we will project the molten metal upon the besieged. —Liverpool paper. 11 14 Lomixw Printed and PublishbJ bY .2•Ta' a l of No. 112, Strand, Printer, at Th e Sorb Strand, in the Precinct of the Saloy,,i Middlesex, Wednesday, August 29, 11011 g. ~~ Country Markets.
