The Rail 'a•,'>• Share Market closrld . The failure of Mesr.irs. Strachan and Co., the -baliker?4, surprises some, who knew the house to be perfectly solvent two years ago.. One of the late or present partners, Sir J. D. Paul, is stated to resSess landed estates in Ireland worth 14,0001. per annum, but entailed most likely, and not avail able to the creditors. The liabilities, 350,0001., are la.rger than was expected, and the assets partly depend on the value of certain Italian railways, to which advances have been made. It is feared many Laval andmilitary officers will suffer by tbe stoppage Public Securities have been duller, and there is a reaction of to 2 per cent. This can scarcdy be explained otherwise than by the paucity of busi l'ess, and the disinclination to go for a further rise after such a material advance.

(Before the Lords Justices of Appeal.) WATSON V. LYON.—JUDGMENT. Their lordships gave judgment this morning in this case, which came before them a few days since, upon ap peal for the decision of the Vice:-Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, declaring that the plaintiff was entitled to his lien upon certain property near Liverpool, called the Clifton estate. Their lordships were of opinion that the decree of the Vice-Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster was substantially correct, and ordered it to I be affirmed, with some slight variations. BULLOCK V. BENNETT.—JUDGMENT. The Lord Justice Turner gave the judgment of their lordships on the appeal from the decision of the Vice- Chancellor Wood. The question, in this case, arose under the will of Mr. Samuel Bullock, who, after directing that all his estates should be converted into money, gave the sum of 1,2007. to trustees, upon trust, to pay the interest of that sum to his daughter, Mary Ann Bennett, as long as she should remain unmarried. It appeared that the daughter had been twice married, and was at the date of the will a widow. But previous to the testator's death she had married a third husband, and the testator dying without republishing his will, it was asserted on the part of his daughter, the twice widow and the third time wife, that she wa entitled to the interest during her life of the 1,2001. On the part of the residuary ledatee it was urged that the third marriage barred her claim, notwith standing there was no republication of the will by the testator. The Vice-Chancellor Wood decided that she was entitled to the interest of the 1,2001., and from that decision the present appeal was brought. Their lordships were clearly of opinion that the Vice- Chancellor had miscarried in his judgment, and ordered his decree to be reversed and the appeal allowed. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wood.) IN BE KNIGHT'S TRUSTEES.—JUDGMENT. His Honour gave judgment this morning in this case, declaring that the daughters of the testator took vested interests at 21, and directing the costs of all parties to be paid out of the estate. 50 all: Bedford and Bletebley ..

Lord Campbell delivered the judgment of the Court in this case, which came before them for their decision rela tive to the right of a town-clerk of a borough to charge extra for making out the list of voters in accordance with the registration acts, and turned upon the 55th section of the act. His lordship said that in the long run their decision would not be of much importance either to town-clerks or the payers of borough -rates and poor-rates, because for the future the salaries would be - regulated according to the work the former would have to do, and come only from one rate. Their lordships adhered to the principle they laid down in a former case, namely, that a town-clerk could not make any charge for his own time or trouble, or the time and trouble of his clerks usually in his employ. ment, relative to the duties of his office. The town clerk was to be paid all expenses incurred in carrying this act into effect, which the court held to be money disbursed by him in so doing, and not a recompense for his time and trouble. At the same time if, by his reason able exertions and those of his clerks, a town clerk was unable to prepare the list of voters, and was necessarily obliged to call in the aid of other persons to assist him in doing so, that would be an expense incurred which ought to be reimbursed, but he should not merely em ploy his clerks and himself in doing other business as an excuse to hand the making the lists over to others. In this case their lordships were of opinion the plaintiff's claim ought to be paid. THE QUEEN V. JUSTICES OF SENT. Mr. Pashley, Q.C., applied for a rule calling on the Justices of Kent to show cause why a certiorari should not issue, compelling them to bring into that court an order made at quarter sessions discharging Mr. Charles R.

At the quarter sessions al luded to a complaint in writing was made by Mr. David Willoughby against , Mr. Eager, alleging that, as the district surveyor of Lewisham, bo illegaly detuaLded and received a fes of Mr. Willoughby for certain houses erected by him under the above act, to which he was not entitled.

It appeared that the prisoner was the son of a mis sionary in India, and that both his parents died there. He was then sent to this country, where the Missionary Society took him in hand, and sent him to a school in Yorkshire, the master of which, Dr. Munro, gave him a very good character during the period he was under his charge. The prisoner subsequently obtained a situa tion in the establishment of a mercantile firm, and it appeared that he had endeavoured to obtain a cheque-book from the bankers of one of their customers, no doubt with the ultimate intention of obtaining mein by means of forgery. It was stated that the prisoner had got into difficulties in consequence of betting upon horse races, and that this was the occasion of his being in his present position. The Recorder said that this system of betting among persons in the prisoner's condition of life was a most; fruitful source of crime, and it was very fortunate for the prisoner that he had not been able. to >obtain posses sion of the cheque-book, and thus have been in a posi tion to have committed a much more serious crime. He then sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for eight calendar months. The Common Sergeant sat in th e new Court during the morning trying persons for p ass i ng b ad money.

In the bred. same district in the street arcade he had taken it at 6001. also, because, as he said before, one part of this commu nication, from Waterloo-bridge station to the Mansion house, would be the largest thoroughfares in the world. In the other district —that is, from Belgravia to Victoria street—he took it at 400/., and through the Strand to about Waterloo -station to about 500/. He got from the bridges 124,000/., and from the street arcade 510,0001.

P axton) should propose to do it by a Government guarantee at four per 'cent. He proposed that 4 per cent, should be applied as a sinking fund, which would in 60 years reduce the whole amount, and it would then become national property. By the next plan, of getting the undertaking carried out by j dif ferent localiti es i n L ondon, when they came to unc tions he apprehended there would be great diffi culty both in raising money and determining what to do. In case, however, the world would not take it up, people knew what four per cent. Government Stocks meant, but would want something more in the case mentioned. The third plan would be to carry it out entirely by private enterprise, although, from-the num ber of persons who would hold shares, &c., it would be a most difficult matter to carry out as one of share pro perty. The first plan he considered for all reasons the best. Clytemnestra : The Earl's Return : And ether Poem l s. By O wen M eredith. . Chapman and Hal. Mr. Meredith's volume of poetry was not opened by us without rather large expectation. As in so many other instances of late, we had heard it said of him also—this is the man at last in earnest —not the Coming Man, but the Man actually Arrived— the true poet, the bard of the age, the " bright particular star," the new-born planet " swimming into its ken "—not, however, this time before the eyes of some lone traveller " upon a peak in Da rien," but within the comprehensive gaze of an entire generation. We were told by some of our contemporaries to console ourselves at length under the pressure of repeated disappointment, for that here, at length, was the successful compeer of the Laureate, one whose hand would win new laurels now that the bay wreath was crisping into the "sear and yellow leaf' upon the broad forehead of Alfred Tennyson. It was not, however, any vague predictions such as these which awakened our curiosity in regard to the writer of The Earl's Return, and of the classic tragedy of Clytemnestra. Assurances such as these we had overheard already too often (only to find them ludicrously falsified upon an examination of the vaunted masterpieces) to place any solid credence in the mere avrec arEv of such exceedingly fallible vaticinators of metri cal excellence. It was something beyond the cus tomary panegyrics poured out upon the young ling poet, which, in the instance here referred to, encouraged us for the moment to believe that now in reality, we might rejoice with reason over the apparition of a genuine phenomenon in poetic literature. It was seriously avowed by a respect able weekly newspaper that in his Clytenthestra, Mr. Meredith had equalled Milton, and surpassed 2Esehylus. Certainly, we must confess it to have been altogether beyond our power to swallow any declaration so very tough and stupendous as this —but we were compelled perforce to believe that the book, so spoken of; must of necessity, comprise merits of some sort, more than usually remarkable. Well—w e have read Clytemnestra, and have care fully turned over the subsequent pages of the volume : those dedicated to the "Earl's Return," and the "A r ti s t , " and the "Wife's Tragedy," and other poems—and the result is nothing less, of course, than the old story all over again —complete and painful disappointment. Yet the production is altogether meritorious. The verses are, fur the most part, scanned throughout judiciously. The melodious rhythm rises even, here and there, above the level of mediocrity. But to talk of the mighty masters of the human mind, to whisper the awful names of Milton and 2Eschylus ! Monstrous puffing like this is assuredly a cruelty no less to the reading public than to the unfortunate literary adventurer. Never can any one have more cause to exclaim in anguish, "save me from my friends," than writers treated on their first coming forth as Mr. Owen Meredith has been treated ! They float for a season on the surface of the current of oblivion, sustained in their perilous position by inflated puffs like those we have particularised, puffs inge niously tagged on to their names and those of their works through advertisement. But, as with Shakspere's "little wanton boys," that swim on bladders-- " blowen up with wind, Which, being prickt, do vanish into noughts," they yield their bubbles to the wind before very long, and flounder by a practical bathos to the inevitable bottom of Lethe. Unannounced by any extravagant encomiums, a volume such as the one here submitted to our examination, might ass muster well enoug h among the crowd of kindred tomes put forth bycongenialcompetitors. But fancy a work proffered with suc h a particularly resonant flourish of trumpets, heralded by so sonorous and reverberant a fanfaronade, upon op which, ening haphaz ar d, cue ' s eye lights upon a the foll ow i ng:— passage lik e " The clouds were troubled, and the wind from his nrison SHARE MARKETS.

An electric action of the animal fibres, tending, we should have thought, rather to produce palsy or paralysis, than affection or mutual confidence. Mr. Meredith had evidently, though, may be, un consciously, in his mind the opening of "Mariana in the Moated Grange :" " With blackest moss the flower pots Were thickly crusted one and all, The rusty nails fell from the knots That held the peach to the garden wall." To say nothing of the spot hardby where the "clus tering marish mosses crept," when he penned the introductory verses of that same " Good night in the Porch :" "The stagnant levels, one and all, are burning in the distant marsh," &c. It is in this same poem, however, that we find the only really noble passage we have been able to dis cover in the whole volume—a passage worthy, howbeit, we cannot but think, of particular men tion and especial remembrance. It is where the Borrow -stricken thus reverently apostrophises the Divine Redeemer— " Tho u sufferedst here, and didst not fail: 27ty bleeding feet these paths have trod : But Thou evert strong, and I ant frail : and 1 am, man and Thou evert God Be near m e : k eep me i n Thy sight : or lay my soul asleep in light."

Nevertheless, even this pails upon the appetite a recivtuffee of the cl ass i c - tragic, garnished w for ith all the unities. So that, i n sp i te of the sagacious hints vouchsafed by friendly critics about our Milton, and another 2Eschylus, we are driven, in spite of all considerations of gallantry, to give the go-by at once not only to the adulterous lover of _zEgisthus, but to the daughters also of Priam and Agamem non— hurling the book, as we do so , i n s h eer despair and exhaustion into the limbo of the wastepaper basket.

The pretext under which Austria seeks to er tenuate her desertion of the We; tera Powers will not bear examination. When the Allies consented to negotiate with Russia on the basis of the four points they expressly reserved their right to modify the term s if the progress of the war should throw more power into their hands. Austria was cognisant of this reservation and acquiesced in it. Austria has declared that the Russian interpretation of the four points was inadmis sible, and has concurred in the close of the Conferences on the ground that the belligerent Powers could not come to an understanding as to the terms. According to every principle of law and equity Austria is still bound by the treaty of the 2d of December. Yet Aus tria, by withdrawing her troops from the Polish fron tier—in contravention of that treaty—actually assists Russia in the struggle in which that Power is now en gaged. The consequence of Russian reliance on the friendship of the Court of Prussia is that the line of frontier from Thorn to Posen has been denuded of troops to an unprecedented extent. In times of the profoundest peace that part of the frontier was never known to be left so entirely unguarded. The soldiers usually sta tioned there have been marched to oppose the Allies in the Crimea. The withdrawal of the Austrian troops from Gallicia will, in like manner, liberate a number of the Russian regiments hitherto employed in guarding the southern frontier of Poland ; they will immediately receive the route for the Crimea. In titter contempt of her solemn promises to the Allies, Austria is actin g i n a manner that enabl es th e C zar to bring a stronger force into the field against them. Even Ministers must now see the unutterable folly of the weak concession by which Austria was allowed to occupy the Danubian Principalities with her troops. Against that occupation we protested from the first as unnecessary. The Russians having been compelled to evacuate the Principalities, the native authorities would have naturally resumed their functions ; the Turkish army of tho Danube was able to prevent the return of the Russians, even though it might not have been found strong enough to pursue them into Bessarabia; the in terference of the Austrians was utterly uncalled for in that quarter. Even before the soldiers of Austria, reached Bucharest it became apparent that their occupa tion of the Principalities would be worse than useless. . By underhand intrigues and by open proclamations the Austrian commanders sought to supersede the native authorities. The subsequent conduct of the army of occupation has been one tissue of usurpations upon the local Government, and brutal maltreatment of the un offending natives. The Austrian occupation of Walla chia and Moldavia has been infinitely more oppressive and irritating than that of Russia. And now Austria, in whose hands'has been deposited this first stake in the war between Russia and the Porte, unequivocally betrays her intention to desert from the Allies to Russia. Wal- ' lachia and Moldavia can no longer be safely entrusted to the cu-tody of Austria, which is ceasing to be a friendly power. How does our Government propose to get the Austrian army out of the Principalities, where it would now be the height of folly to allow it to remain? The conduct of Austria is not the result of mere inde cision or infirmity of purpose. Throughout the whole of her trimming and tortuous proceedings Austria has been emsistent—has kept her object steadily in view, and pursued it without faltering. In the first place, she contemplated with jealousy and alarm the prospect of Russia's obtaining possession of the Principalities. Austria repeatedly Fought to annex them before Russia had grown powerful enough to make the attempt ; and saw with irritation her competitor for the coveted prize about to snatch it. Austria too had uneasy misgivings that her mighty neighbour had an eye upon some of her own frontier provinces. Austria, therefore, coquetted with the Western Powers until she persuaded them to place within her grasp those pro vinces which bad been rescued from Russia. But all this time Austria had never for a moment lost sight of the fact that Russia is her natural ally against Western Liberalism. Austria sought to secure herself against the arrogance and rapacity of Russia, not to break en tirely with Russia ; and now that the Czar appears to be on the eve of being effectually humbled by France and England, and that Austria has got possession of the provinces the acquisition of which she grudged to - Rus. sia, Austria turns round and extends the shield of her protection over a power whose aid she feels will soon be required to enable her to keep her ground against the public opinion of civilised Europe. Austria has been playing upon all parties, with a view to promote her own selfish and sinister ends, and for the moment it would almost appear that she has done so successfully. But the end is not set. Paltry cunning and tortuous in trigue may secure partial and temporary advantages, but never a complete and enduring triumph. The final and avowed desertion of the Allies by Austria will consti tute a turning point in the events which are now deve loping themselves before the 'eyes of all Europe. New and bolder plans of action are about to be forced on the statesmen of the West ; new political elements are about to be called into active existence. COLONIAL.
