We regret, for some reascns, that we shou!cl not have found leisuse and space for an earlier notice of this the great exhibition of the year; but we believe that in other respects advantages arise from the delay; the feeling of novelty has in this lost its influence, and our remarks should now be more deliberate and mature : and deliberate and mature they ought cer tainly to be, considering how few and limited they necessariy are, when compared with the extent of the subject. e often feel that the works of our artists have but little justice done them by the press. These exhibition rooms contain some of the- best results of at least a 3 ear's work of six or seven bun-. dred hard working men; and, while not unfre quently in the daily papers two or three columns are devot d to the consideration of one literary production, a single column written after a hasty and jostling view of the exhibition on the private day, too often dismisses the matter. Our weekly and even monthly contemporaries do very little more with their better opportunities. The truth is the subject is overwhelming to us all ; so vast, so sudden, and so brief in its duration ; and at a time when to many other subjects and objects of interest are claiming attention. This year's exhibition probably manifests a greater equality of merit than has been seen in any previous one.; there are many clever pictures, bat there are very few of great excellence. The progression of the academy, as observable in the course of several past sears, seems to be towards a general and highly respectable mediocrity. And this would be a result quite in harmony with the history of all academic institutions hitherto. Yet with all its short-comings our exhibition is probably superior to what any other countriiii Europe could at present produce. The number of oil pictures is considerably below the average of late years ; partly because there are several of very large dimensions; and partly because the dark side of the octagon has been left uncovered—an arrangement for which the hanging committee deserve respect and ap proval, seeing that they would rather incur the responsibility of increasing the number of pictures necessarily rejected, than hang any in a position in which it would be mockery to say they could possibly be seen. Speaking generally, the landscape department is that in which the nearest approach to excellence is shown; the subject pictures , are next best; and in portraiture, for which our English exhibitions used to be remarkable and cele brated, there is a decided inferiority to former years. The qualities which seem generally to be most in repute and most sought after by our artists are cleverness of handling and picturesqueness of arrange ment, qualities by no means to be despised, but not to be put in comparison with the higher require ments of correctness of drawing and appropriateness of conception and expression. In colour there is a very apparent and painful deficiency : gaudiness and crudeness, and brightness without brilliancy are the too general characteristics. The English school has prided itself on its colour, and in many instances has exhibited fine arrangements of colour, but in scarcely one has it shown a comprehension of the highest and most difficult excellences of colour, those of quality and tone. Even Reynolds, with his exqui site feeling for colour, never realised these as they are seen in Venetian pictures, and its some of the finest of the Flemish school. He felt and knew this, and to the end of his life was un wearying in experi ment and endeavour for the mastery of them. Maclise exhibits nothing this year, which is rather remarkable, but all the other academicians have contributed snore or less largely ; no one, however, has sent anything which is likely to increase his previous reputation, who or which m ain is tai e n ve s n his ss ' h ort ig iy h position .of with it excepting Landseer, admirable steadiness ; and Turner, whose best pic ture, however, bears internal evidence that it is no very recent production.. This picture, by Turner, No. 206, is styled " Venus and Adonis," and the con ception of it, especially of the landscape background, poeticalbut oneand d i su pro duction,ltmuischa sgenius,et sketchy r o ° s; true and exquisite feeling tor colour, and great mastery of execution. • How admirably painted is the leash of dogs in the hand of the parting Adonis; manifesting gran d they are worthy of the pencil of Veronese ; and the whole picture is almost worthy Titian him self: it is indeed just too like Titian, and this is a circumstance that somewhat withholds our admiration, for the landscape background too strikingly resembles that in Titian's great picture of Pietro Martini, to leave us at liberty to give Mr. Turner the full credit of its conception. His other picture, 81, called " The Wreck Buoy," is in his more recent and less intelligible style. It seems intended to represent a returning calm after a storm at sea ; and, although when closely viewed, it may somewhat shock our sense of resemblance to nature, it is a very different thing when seen from the opposite side of the room, as we had an opportu nity of seeing it the other afternoon. It then con veys some feeling of the desolate extent of the path less sea, and of its mighty conflict with the powers of air, which the rainbow of hope has appeared to soothe and to subdue. It is well worth while to endeavour to see this picture as we have described, and it is but justice to Turner to do so. 13. " The Dead Lion," by Landseer, a study we believe from a lion which died not long ago at the Zoological Gardens. It is not a very pleasing picture, but admirably painted ; and the background repre sents a worthy solitude for the monarch of the desert to die in. 196. "The Free Church," by the same, represents a small section of a Free Church party, which seems to have assembled in a barn, or some such rude place, a species of accommodati on to which the Free Church has been'too frequently obliged to resort. The pro minence of the three dogs so comfortable in the foreground and behaving so well, may, however, be snore generally regarded as indicative of the freeness of the church. The picture is freely, but admirably painted, with fine subdued harmony of tone throughout. The head of the old man is something in the manner of Rembrandt, and the expression of devotion is finely given. 72. " Lear disinheriting Cordelia," by Herbert, is scarcely equal to many of his former productions. It is very compactly and nicely grouped, and the subject is pretty fairly expressed ; but wo have heard little commendation of the picture ; the tone of colour too much resembles the tnannerof fresco, a style in which it seems the subject is being painted in the House of Lords. 117. A coloured study for a fresco in the House of Lords, by Cope, is a beautiful little composition, well conceives! and composed, and very carefully studied, although so small. 23. " Religious Controversy in the time of Louis XIV.," by Elmer, is a fine picture, well composed, and very carefully and well painted : in these re es p . e h c i t b s i tt a d ' e . t h T i r ei is is n i s t o h e m b u e o s b t v vs n 'o r e k t y h e o f h p e b s y hitherto • mical character in the heads, but the action of the picture is too abstract and untangible to be felt and understood; the interest of the ribject is of an intellectual rather than an emotional kind, and there fore not well adapted to the capacities of art.' 8. " Henrietta Maria in distress relieved by Car dinal de Ritz," by Mr. Egg, is another picture very nicely composed and well painted, and is a subject more within the compass of art; but we do not feel that the dignity of history has been reached, or that the interest of the subject has been well expressed; the picture does not rise above the class tableaux de geure. 43. " Omnia Vanitas," by Mr. Dyce, a Magdalen, half length figure, with her hand on a skull; it is very little more than a study, carefully, though not very well painted, from a rat " her coarse m o d e l. 60. " Amoret Chained, by W. Etty. Mr. Etty exhibits only threeyor four small and unimportant works, which - show very bad drawing, unpleasing and sometimes offensive conception, and but little of that excellence of colour which sometimes redeems, or helps to redeem, the many imperfections of his later works. 144. " Helena," by Mr. Eastlake , from " Alls Well that ends Well," is only a head and bust, the teat of which seems to be— ceived, and well composed; the back-ground espe cially is rernark7tble for its beauty. 242. " Tim Cup found in Baijamin's Sick," by Sir William Allan, shows roach experieece and skill in composition ; the general effect is rather week, and the figurts want dignity anal nEturalnes4 of expression ; little Benjemin is rather a spooney and unheToic youth. The above•rnentioned pictures are all in the large east-room, and are almost a ll o f th em wor k s asp i r i ng to the highest class of art, w filch comprises the reli gious, historic, and poetic ; and we will briefly allude to a few of those in the other two large rooms which have similar pretensions, before we proceed to men tion any of the other subject pictures or of the land scapes, which will form a happier element for us, and one in which we will be more able to indulge in com mendation and praise. In the middle room the most remarkable picture is that by Roberts, of the " Destruction of Jerusaleru by the Romans." It is a work of very large dimen sions and great labour, we believe, also, of much historical and topographical correctness, as it certainly is of the greatest interest. We do not, however, feel justified in saying much of it, for it would require to be seen and studied more carefully than we have had au opportunity of studying it, or than we believe to be possible' under present circumstances. To be judged of properly, it. should be seen at a greater distance, and for a greater length of time, than is possible in a place of such crowded resort ; and in circumstances more congenial to solemnity and gran deur of mental impression, than are those of an ex hibition-room. No. 372. The picture of still larger dimensions, which hangs on the o pp os it e wa ll, aa d i s en titl e d " The Destruction of Idolatry in England," by Mr. G. Patte n , i s one on which we will also venture but few remarks. It does not seem to attract great attention ; but this may be from other causes than want of merit. For ourselves, we must say we are not much impressed by its historic character. 306. " A Dance of Nymphs and Satyrs," by Hart, is au ambitious attempt, not without much cleverness, at a very difficult subject—a subject which, even in verse, it requires the highest g en iu s an d greatest refinement of ideality to reconcile us to; and these are qualities still more necessary in painting, which aims at a much More material realization, and they are, we fear, rather awanting here. What a mighty lapse and difference there is between this picture and the " Bacchus and Ariadne," by Titian, in the other end of the building ! 311. " Isabella," a subject from Keats' poem, by J. E. MiDins, a young artist who has exhibited very few pictures hitherto. This one shows immaturity in practice and poverty of tone and style, yet it is a remarkable picture, of great talent, intere.t, and promiie : quaint and somewhat antiquated in style and composition, bringing old Chaucer to one's mind, and displaying great variety and individuality of cha racter in the heads. 357.. "The Awakened Conscience," by Rec!grave, is weak in execution and crude in colour ; and the expression of the remorseful sinner is more fear at some external object than the agony of an inward In the large west room the numeration commences with 407, " Wise and Foolish Builders," by G. Harvey. Although the reality is but child's play by the sea shore i it- is doubtless. intended as illustrative of Scripture parable ; whether a worthy illustration may be somewhat more a matter of doubt. Mr. Harvey is an artist of much reputation in Scotland, but his picture is here placed so high that it is not possible to judge of its merits. The general effect is pleasing, though rather weak. 439. " Christ bearing the Cross," by W. 11. Darley, shows much power and grandeur of style. 449. "St. Peter and St. John healing the Sick," by Mr. Eddis, b a large and well composed picture, and there are many goods parts in it; the head of the mOther is very tine in expression. The general effect of the picture is it - jut-cc] by the qua:ity of colour, which is not clear and forcible and historic. 446. "Elizabeth and Mary ; or the Song of the Virgin," by Mr. Tait, from the lines in St. Luke, "111 y soul doth magnify the Lotd," is an earnest rind unobtrusive picture, which in style reminds one of the early great men, and is painted in a clear and subdued tone, indicating a true feeling for colour. The subject is one of the highest n4ture in which perfect SUMS would be a great achievement. The figure of Elizabeth is especially remarkable for appro priateness of expression and happy realization of character. 489. "The Outcast of the People," by Herbert is an illustration of the verse in St. Luke, " The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man bath not where to lay his head," and is an impressive picture of much simplicity and earnestness. The time is night, and the Son of Man is represented in deep contemplation seated on a rock by the desolate sea shore, atd to the left, the moon's pale crescent is descending towards the horizon. We have heard it remarked that the figure of the Saviour wants dignity and elevation of character, and there may be some truth in this; yet the picture is altogether one of high character and great excellence. " It were all one That I should love abright parti cu l ar s t ar co ni lo o u s And think to wed it," &c. el , WS some pure n lt ice is as m ell i n menta l ex pression a s i n o ther respects. rts,cbaruetfuisllryatf:irntwedca, kri 107. " Life's Illusions," " Sic transit gloria mundi," by G. F. Watts, is en adventurous production, of large dimensions, and bold poetic conception, belonging to the allegorical class, which has been from time to time essayed by great men, but which no one his hitherto succeeded in rendering permanently intere:t ing. The ardent mailed knight in pursuit of the phantom bubble, who heeds not the precipice ova. which he will be hurled at the next plunge, is very intelligible and impressive ; but we cannot say SO much fur the female group which is ascending on the left. There is throughout the work a want of that pictorial excellence which is especially essential in works of poetic and allegoric art. 188. " Sir Guyon fighting for the Virtue of Tem perance," from the Faerie Queen, by l i r w i ns , i s a picture whose weak, unsatisfactory execution derogates greatly from its other merits. It is poetically con 566. " Arthur and 2Egle in the happy Valley," by Martin, is, like all his works, r emar k a bl e an d conspi cuous from its peculiarities. The cold darkness of hue which pervades the picture, and the interminable re plication of barren rocks, give anything but the idea of a happy valley. 531. "Morning on the banks of Zurich Lake," by F. Danby, is a picture truly deserving to rank in:the highest class : it is admirable; so simple in composi tion, so rich in tone, poetic in feeling, and perfect in execution. No one of our artists displays a truer feeling for the poetry of nature than does Mr. Danby, or selects its finestphases with more consummateskill. With this picture our notice must terminate for the present, but we hope to take an early opportunity of returning to the subject. TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.--Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, and his Royal Highness Prince Henry of the Netherlauds, honoured the paha.. mences at her Itiffjesty's theatre on Saturday evening, with her. presence.

On Saturday, the second of these brilliant reunicns was h•.id iu the Garden of the Society, at Chiswick. The extreme beauty of the weather attracted a more than ordinaty gay and fashionable company. It was said that upwards of ten thousand persons visited the gardens during the day. In other respects, the exhibition was an excellent one, and it went cif with great eclat. The flowers, perhaps because the long rain and inclemency of the season had so long deprived the eye of all enj•.y went of floral beauty, seemed to be more exquisite than ever, and they cet tainly appeared more numerous.

REDUCING THE RENTS AND IMPROVING THE LAND.—The Esrl of Pembroke has, in the most hand some manner, r.-turned ten per a=nt. to his numerous tenants in Wiltshire, on the settlement of their runts to Michaelmas, 1848, where the condition of the fauns, the rate of wages paid to the labourers, and the rents, justify the all• - )wurce ; and /e has intimated big intention of making abatements of 15 per cent. in 1849; but he has stipulated that the amount of the returns shall be ex. p,ndcd in manure, draining, or other improvements on the farms. His Lordship has also expressed his willing ness to adopt a " tenant-right " suited to the estates and the custom of the country, and to grant leases in such inetauces %here the capital and skill of the tenant re quire them. His Lordship, moreover, has requested his agent to coneid,r the propriety of basing the future scuts of the estates upon the average annual value of the pro duce of the respective farms, so that, whether ,high or low prices prevail, the rents would be adjusted to the cir cumstances of the times. The Right honourable Siduey Herbert, M.P., has also declared his intention to adopt the same liberal arrangements. Greenhouse. A zlleas, in collections of 6—Certificate of excellence, Mr. Green.

COLLIERY EXPLOSIONS.—Another explosion of fire-damp occurred on Friday last, at the North Elswick Colliery, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, but fortunately in this instance no lives were lost. It appears that about neon on that day the overman (Mr. Whittaker) and his assistant were proceeding down the shaft in a cage, with some wood to rei air a" brattice," and they imprudently took a naked candle lighted with them. When about half-way down the shaft the gas exploded at the candle, and the explosion was heard at the surface. The en giaemen instantly reversed the gear, and drew the cage and men up, and on reaching the " batik" the men were found to be severely burnt. They got out of the cage, however, and e sliced home without assistance. Davey lamps are used in the mine, which is comparatively a small one; and it shows how reckless of human life the pitmen generally are, when an " overman," who ought to have known better than run such risk, ventured into the mine with an open candle, with the catastrophe at Hebburn still fresh on his mind. The funerals of those killed at Hebburn took place on Thursday, and a melee. choly spectacle it was. Rows of black coffins, prepared at :he expense of the colliery, were follows d by hundreds of distressed and bereaved friends; and the solemnity of the occasion was greatly enhanced by the mournful dirge which is wually, sung un such occasions is the pit dis tricts. An examination of the mine has thrown no fur ther light on the cause of the explosion. It was well ventilated on the furnace system, and no other known would seem capable of entirely preventing such accidents. The mine had not been at work from the Saturday to ' the Tuesday morning, but the furnace was It, pt con tinually burning, so as to maintain a current of air through all the workings. The earthquake, which was so generally felt within a few miles from Carlisle, was so severe as to re move furniture, and to cause the jingling of fire-irons; the shock lasted several seconds, and was accompanied (as we stated in our last) by a ncise similar to what might be produced by some heavy substance rolling over an uneven surface. The bells were rung in the house of Mrs. Wilson, of Thistlewood, by the agitation, and the shock that neighbourhood mai universally felt, and somewhat alarming.— Carlisle Patriot. CHAPELS OF EASE IN IRELAND —A Bill has been hroue-ht into the House of Commons by Mr. Napier and Mr. "G . A. Hamilton to *nee urage the endowment cf chapels of ease (in Ireland), and to facilitate the assign ment of pastoral districts thereto. It empowers any person to endow chapels of ease, w ith the consent of the Bishop and the incumbent of the parish; the endowed chapel to b« subject to the provisions of the Chapel of Ease Act (the 6th end 7th William IV., cap. 31). The incumbent of the parish is exempted from all liability to provide for the maintenance of the minister of such church or chapel. A portion of glebe lands, with the assent of the Bishop of the diocese and the Lord Primate, may be granted as a snorter such church or ohapel. It is proposed, we understand, to enclose fifty acres Of Wimbledon•common, and to form an establishment for the reception of pauper children from the unions in the county of Surrey. Although the conduct of the parish authorities in farming out the children at Mr. Drouet's proved so fatal, we do not see why this favourite and picturesque spot to which the inhabitants of the metropolis resort, not only for air and exercise, but also for temporary residence after illness, should be selected for such an establishment, to the great detriment of the residents, and to the prevention of the enjoyment of the public It is to no purpose to make parks at Battersea and Whitechapel if the present commons, only at a short distance, arc allowed to be partially enclosed, and the air infected with the diseases to which children are pecu liarly liable. We presume the next step will be to enclose fifty acres of Hampstead-heath for a similar purpcse.

TIIE CUOLERA. , --RAINIIAM, JUNE 9.—At Upper Il!zinhatn, near Chatham, several cases of cholera have been reported, 15 of which have terminated fatally, and live bodies were buried yesterday. The disease first made its appearance in some cottages in the rear of Mr. LampArci's, a blacksmith, the whole of which are in habited by poor p:ople, with large families. The dis ease is suspected to have first broken out by a woman dying in one of the cottages, which being closed, toge ther with the heat of ►he sun, produced a dreadful stench, and, the I flluvium being inhaled by the inmates, they fell liotims to the disease, which spread from one cottage to another. The survivors have all been re moved by the parish authorities to a large house, recently occupied by Mrs. Dodd, deceased, and which is appro priated as a hospital. These deaths have occurred within a few hours after being attacked. The parish authorities are cleansing out all the cottages, and whitewashing and fumigating them. At present there are no fresh cases.

GREAT WESTERN. We have been requested to insert the copy of the letter written by the secretary of the Great Western Riilway Company, which was referred to in the retort of the meeting of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Company held at Worcester on the Bth inst.:— (Copy.) "Great Western Railway, Paddington, June 5. "My dear Sir,—l have been desired to acquaint you that the Great Western directors who were appointed under the provisions of your Act of Incorporation to ba director - 5 of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, have been requested by this board not to at tend the special meting of your proprietc:rs on the 841 instant. "Although . the beard had n o t the opportunity o f seeing the report to be presented to that meeting, they learn that the subject for the consideration of the share holders relates to the agreement for the lease of the rail- Ivey to this company, upon which question (under a proviso in clause 13 of the Act) the Great Weatern Company are specifically precluded from exercising the right of voting. The board considers, therefore, that the directors will not only comply with the spirit of that restriction more effectually by declining to attend the meeting, but that they will leave themselves more free and unembarrassed hereafter to adopt any course which they may deem right and necessary for the protection of the interests of this company. "I am desired to request that this communication : may be read to the proprietors of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Company assembled at the special meeting, and that they may be informed that this board are quite prepared to establish that they have never held out the idea of giving a guarantee for ari unlimited amount of expenditure, but, on the contrary, have uniformly, upon every occasion, refused to do so; that they specifically limited the sum not to exceed 2 500,0001. RS a maximum, and have never, directly or indirectly, permitted any one to entertain the idea of an extension beyond that sum. The directors are con vinced that they can s ais'actorily prove before any dis interested tribunal that they have acted throughout with the most scrupulous good faith in every negotiation and eagago.ment with your company. "I remain. my dear sir. " Yours very faithfully, CEIA.I4LES A. bAUNDERS, Secretary. " To Thomas Noel Smith, Esq., Secretary of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Company." THE RAILWAYS AND 'UBE CARRIERS. On Saturday a cl ,, putvtion, c,nsiving of the most in fluential carritrri, had an interview with the Railway Commist=ioners, at the Board of Trade, on the sutject the opPres,ive charges of the railway companies and the conduct pursued by them towards traders and carriers. The commissioners present were the Right Hon. H. Labeuchere (chairman), Earl Granville, the R'ght Hon. Sir Edward lilac, and the secretary, Captain Harness. The deputation were accompanied by Messrs. Lewis and Nash, the Parliamentary agents. Mr. NASH said he had the honour to appear on be half of a large and influential body of traders and car riers. He had also to present to the board petitions from Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Klinburgh, Shef field, Coventry, Newcastle, Belfast, Bristol, Glasgow, rind other places. The petitioners complained of the oppressive conduct and charges of railway companies towards traders and carriers, that the companies treated them differently from the rest of the public, and resorted to illegal and improper charges, in order to defeat fair competition; that the railway companies had endea voured to prevent traders from packing small parcels in one, as always was dune under the old system, for the be nefit of their customers, in order that they ruightget every small parcel carried separately, whereby they got the full charge on each. The companies were now charging as much for a package of small parcels as if each small parcel were sent separately. These things were a great hardship upon the traders and carriers. But the com panies did not rest here; they had, in order to injure traders and competitors, commenced a system of de signedly opening, delaying, and mis-sending packed parcels, and not delivering the contents to the customers, to destroy carriers who compete with them on their own line, and carry for less than the company. The existing law, and the clauses introduced into the Railway Act. did not affird sufficient protection, whilst the companies have the administration of the statutes, and the public had no other course but to resort to a court of law, which was not only dilatory, but insufficient to meet the abuses of which the deputation complained. A case oc curred a short time since, whore a carrier brought an action against the Llndon and North-Western Railway for overcharge, and although the plaintiff obtained a verdict in his favour he lost upwards of 85L; in fact, the railway companies openly assert that they do not care for such actions. The county courts had no jurisdiction in the matter, and therefore the traders and carriers must either allow themselves to be overcharged, cheated, and perhaps ruined, or resort to expensive actions. Mr. LABOUCIIERE—What remedy would you suggest, for no person can doubt that some remedy must be had? Mr. NASII—The gentlemen whom I represent think that the best plan would be to have a Parliamentary Committee to inquire into the abuses, and point out the remedy. Mr. LABOUCHERE—It is too late in the session, I am afraid, to have a Parliamentary Committee. Mr. NASH—The traders and carriers are of opinion that they will never be properly treated until you (lie Board) appoint a traffic inspector on all the railways, and also that they should be compelled to issue a printed list of their tolls for carrying goods, and the Commis sioners would, therefore, be glad to learn the opinion of the deputation on that point. Mr. CROUCH said he could not see why there should be any d.fficuliy. The several companies kept a list ct charges in a book, and if he took a box or basket—say for Birmingham or Manchester—and the ch rk forgot what to charge, he immediately turned to his book. Mr. HELDER said the only difficulty he saw was that the company did not charge two persons alike; they tr Tien , ly charged the carrier twice as mach as they charged the private customer. Mr. NA SU —I cannot see why there should be a list ef charges for luggage by passenger treks, and not by goods trains: surely one is as practicable as the other. Mr. LABOUCHERE—Then, gentlemen, what you want is the publication of uniform rates of charges by the companies, and some simple machinery by which defects in the system may be remedied. Mr. NASH —Prcciitly su; give power to the county courts to adjudicate. Mr. LABOUCHERR—Of course, that would be an ob viously great convenience to the public if it could be done. Tt,at would leave the existing law as at present, with the exception that an extra provision should be introduced, giving power to the county courts; for at present the companies, by their Acts, are bound to pub lish a scale, and charge all persons equally. Mr. NASH—I am afraid we shall never be satisfied until we have a Government goods superintendent at each terminus. Sir Thomas Wilde, at the recent trial at Warwick, pointed out to the jury that the company would driv e a ll t h e carriers off the line, and then the public would be left at the mercy of the company. LABOUCHERE—Your case shall be taken into consideration. It is a very important and not a very simple subject, therefore it requires time. The deputation then withdrew. _BEAT bOUTHERN AND WESTERN.— In consequence of the &AM' of the late Mr. George Carr, Mr, Edw. .'Donnell was elected chairman of the Irish Grcat Southern and Western Railway Company, and Mr. Boothby, of London, was elected t o succeed Mr. M‘Don nell, as deputy-chairman.
