Another very remarkabl difference exists, People may be taken seriously ill in various ways during a long stage. On no Entlish railway, and on no European rail way excr p• this new one from St. Petersburg to Moscow, )3 any provision made far mach a contin. gency. Here, without being more specific, I may say that the trains contain, to a certain degres, the same resources as an hotel or a ship. Finally, such a thing as a quarrel, an assault, or misconduct on the part of one pas , enger towards another, is pos sible, and has frequently occurred. Under such circumstances it is surely an immense advantage to be able to communicate with the guard. I leave out of the qus ion asses of general danger to the whole train, as from fire. In short, we mry learn even from the Russians. Last in the field, they avoid some of our absurdities. Thus it was with their northern capital which, in its aelileship, and the sanitary plan of its streets, as well as in their regularity and commodiousness, surpasses all cities. Thus, again, it is in the structure of their railway carriages, which are, so far, as superior to ours as civilisation—experience at other people's cost—ind consequent forethought are to barbaric first Attempts, and improvidence. The communi- - cation I have mentioned between* passengers and guard extends all through the train—the landing of each long carriage, where tiee officer stands, being also the landing of the next, and so on from the rearmost tender to the engine. The stations between the two capitals are 20 in number, viz., beginning with the most northern, Kolpina,. Tosuiria, Luban, Pomeranie, Tchudor, Volkoff, Malo veetchen, Okuloff, Valdai , Bologoffs skoi (here the government of St. Petersburg termi nates, and that of Moscow begins) Vechee-oslochok, Speorovskoi, Ostashkovskoi, Tverskoi, Zaverdor okoi, Pod volnetcnoi, Krukovskoi, Chimskoi, and Moskovskoi, or Moscow. None of the intermediate stations are considerable as towns. Most of them are wooden villages. Close to the railroad is a large dome-like building, where the wood is chopped, the water boiled, tise., for the service of the line. The stations themselves are very large, convenient, and fine. Most people breakfast before they come to the St. Petersburg station ; yet the train stops 20 minutes for breakfast at romeranie. It stops again for 15 minutes' lunch, again half-an-hour for dinner, again 15 minutes for tea, again 20 minutes far supper. The expense of each meal is according to what one takes. A cup of coffee with a rusk is eightpence (25 copecks). Dinner to a hungry person cannot be less than a rouble under the mildest circumstances (i. e., 3s. 2d.) His tea will not stand him in less. His supper will be equal in cost to his dinner ; and, in the down journey superior to it in quality. Where no set meals were prepared, refreshments, nevertheless, could always be ob tained. Even where no regular rooms for the pur pose adorned the station, rows of tables, spread with " passmentee," and common, ancient, national Rtissian dainties, even at night, twinkled under their little lamps, and under a brilliant moon, at every halting-place. The halt, moreover, is sel dom for less than 10 minutes. It is these continual and prolonged stoppages, and not the rate of speed, which make the journey last 22 hours. It is considerably under 700 versts—and there are nearly four versts to the English mile. The distance from. Paris to Strasbourg is nearly as great, and the jour ney is performed in 12 hours. The distance from Paris to Bordeaux requires but 11 hours, and yet from St. Petersburg to Moscow 22 hours are con sumed, although the speed, when the train is in motion, averages 30 miles an hour. At every sta tion everybody seemed to me to eat everything, to drink everything, and to smoke everything. The train was full of Russian officers. I found them as I have always found them, and as all agree that they are, singularly intelligent and singularly polite. One of them, au aide-de-camp of the Grand Duke Michael, whenever I asked him what station this or that was, replied at first with a jocular de scription as correct as that with which he imme diately rectified it. "Where are we now ? Now we are at breakfast ; now we are approaching lunch —you see it yonder over the forest. Now you can see dinner behind that lake. The green roofs in the moonlight are tea. That spire which glitters upon the banks of the river is supper. Ah ! this village with the booths ranged in a semicircle down the bank is the first meal between ; that village, looking just like the other, with booths and tables and bottles just like the other is the second meal between." Every place a w l o o r n e g the lin un i form,e—nt a i u n d the re a s c e c al id b e l n ed ts of e t v h e e ry sce o n t e h r e y r , or the aspects of the landscapes, which formed their backgrounds—but in the arrangements close to the railway. The same blue lamps, the same tents, booths, tables, laid out in the same manner--bot tles and jugs in the open air, shaped in the same manner, placed in the same order. An immense round bottlei to the right of the row—a small one next it. Thirty miles further you thought you be held them again glittering in the bright starlight on the self-same table. Military discipline seemed to have got hold even of the vessels wherein vodki and quass were sold. If the little flask presumed to leave its rank, you felt sure the big one would put it under arrest. By the time we had travelled into the hours of a magnificent moonlight, almost all the Russians who did not wear uniforms were gay with wiue, beer, and spirits. A young broad faced, good-humoured individual, "at supper," assured 150 people that he had the previous day divorced his wife; and, catching some words of English which I had spoken to a friend, he addressed me in that language, which he said he had learnt in six weeks during a visit to London, and told me that he was a " Russian King." As I looked astonished, he said, " Yas, oh, yas, king—prince." People seemed to pay him considerable attention, and he proceeded to harangue them about the du ties of wives till the bell rang. The country from St. Petersburg to Moscow is a dead level; not a single tunnel the whole way. There are two or three very fine viaducts, one over the Volga, wlie • it is still young and small, about 100 versts to the north of Moscow. As you proceed south, the dreary expanse of alternate forest and morass changes into noble pastures and preposterous-look ing farms of enormous extent, still girdled in the distance with the belt of low forest. The timber is small, and almost wholly some variety of the fir tree. At St. Petersburg, on the day I left (Moa day), the officers of the St. Jean d'Acre were to be presented to the Emperor at Peterhof': , ." 4;4% rd:isahnedr, other it in., g o e ce n u tl p e i m ed en t . he It chair, was THE ROEBUCK TESTIMONIAL.—A meeting of the above . committee has been held at the Councill-ball, SSheffield.

Lord. Cardigan visited Leeds to-day, the 30th August having been appointed for - the presentation to his lord ship of the sword which has been -subscribed for by his tenantry and other inhabitants of Leeds. The banquet took place at the Stock Exchange, the chair being filled by Edward Denison, Esq., M.P. for the West Riding. Upon the removal of the cloth the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk. Mr. BRECROFT, as chairman of the committee of the testimonial, then read an address from the subscribers t, the fund for purchasing the sword, in which it was said :—" It is to commemorate the events of your lord ship's military lite in that war, and particularly that great incident which has rendered Balaklava' a pass Nord in the soldier's mouth (of which he will ever feel proud), that we now present your lordship with a sword, and invite your acceptance of it, in the name of numerous noblemen, gentlemen, merchants, tradesmen, :end yeomanry connected with the county of York." The Earl of CARDIGAN, in the course of his speech. , eturning thanks, said—Gentlemen, it is gratifying to ne—and I think it will not be uninteresting to you to earn that that conduct of mine; of which you have ,een pleased to approve, met with the entire sanction, pproval, and approbation of that great general under whom I was serving—the late Lord Raglan—under all circumstances, even at the commencement of the opera ions and up to and beyond the battle of Balaklava (Applause.) Lord Raglan, the lamented general whose • 'all lao deeply_deplore—whose memory I honour and revere—and whose approbation and good opinion luring life I valued more than those of any other man living. (Here his lordship was for a moment or two unable to proceed, from his extreme emotion. On re viving, he said)—l considered his praise as second only in value to that of that great general, that great man under whom he had so long served, and of whom he was the friend and associate. I speak of the groat Duke of Wellington. (Loud cheers.) (The noble earl repeated the history of his celebrated reconnaisance on the Dab rudecha, with which he has several times obliged the public. Then proceeding, he said—Gentlemen, it fell to my lot, on the 25th October—the day of the battle of Balaklava—(hear)—as the officer in command of the light cavalry brigade, to attack the Russian batteries to the front. Gentlemen, I will not go into any lengthened letail of what occurred during that charge. I think that the circumstances are well known to most ; but I can not think that this opportunity, which is afforded by the honour you have conferred upon me this day, is an in opportune moment for me to make one or two allusions to some extraordinary fallacies which, if not generally prevalent, still have been entertained by sonap, and are known to me—l mean with regard to the duties of a general of cavalry leading the brigade into action. One would really suppose, from what has been said, that when a charge of cavalry is ordered, the general officer commanding a.brigade has nothing to do but wave his sword, and gallop off, his men following him, and come into personal contact with the enemy's troops. Gentle. men, no such thing is the case. The duties of a cavalry general, in leading a charge, are very important. In the first place, it is his duty to keep his regiments together ; secondly, it is his duty to lead them at such a regular pace, under any fire to which they may be exposed, that, when they come into contact with the enemy, they may attack them with a, proper and full impetus. (Cheers.) Further, it is necessary that, under whatever fire they may be exposed during the advance, the general officer should keep the alignment of his regiment. I believe there is no person who was present—and there were Many persons present who were spectators (for the hills on all sides were covered with our own troops and those of our allies)—but there was no one so present who will deny that the leading of the regiments of the Light Cavalry Brigade into the battery on the day of the battle of Balaklava, was not a firm, satisfac tory, and compact one—(cheers)—well and gallantly supported by three other regiments belonging I s to the brigade, which came on in succession under their re spective commanding officers. Ladies and gentlemen, I will leave the troops who have just arrived at the bat tery for one moment, and refer to one or two other falla cies. It has been also suggested, and the idea has been entertained, that it is the duty of a general officer com manding cavalry to fight the enemy, with and amongst private soldiers, after coming into contact with them. No such thing is the case, and I will give you the greatest authority to the contrary. The greatest authority we have ever had in this country is that of the late noble hussar, Lord Anglesea. Under the names of Lord Ux bridge and Lord Paget, he frequently commanded ca valry, and distinguished himself in every way, and hai the reputation of being the best cavalry general that ever lived in this country. He has been known to de- clare that he never, during his career, raised his sword, or used it against an enemy, except on one occas on in self-defence. I could not, ladies and gentle men, quote to you a greater authority than that of Lord Anglesea, the mostgallant general of cavalry, who always led his own troops into action, whether he was in com mand of a small force or a large one. I will give you an instance or two. When he commanded the Hussar Bri gade in Spain, previous to Sir J. Moore's retreat, the 15th Hussars, which composed one brigade, had an opportu nity of attacking the French cavalry, and Lord Paget put himself at their head, led them to the attack, and gained a victory. Subsequently, under the title of Lord Uxbridge, when commanding the whole force of cavalry at Waterloo, 10,000 strong, he put himself at the head of the household brigade, showing himself fint most gallantly, and led his troops into action. There is one mere fallacy which at times has been suggested with regard to the du ties of a cavalry general. It is that of a general officer of cavalry leadinghis first line, after getting amongst and at tacking the enemy, is to halt and receive the second line, before bringing his brigade into action. Thetis not the case. A. general officer commanding the first line has nothing to do with anything but the regiments he immediately commands. Those who follow in support are under the superior officer of each line. But, even supposing such a thing was practicable in may common charge of cavalry, of one body of cavalry against another, or even against infantry, can anybody living imagine that it would be possible for a general officer leading the first line of cavalry in an affair like that of Balaklava, attacking 13, 19, or 20 heavy guns to the front, a battery on each ft ink, and the bills covered with Russian riflemen—can anybody suppose that when leading into the battery vo miting forth shells, round shot, and every missile of war, a general officer can lead his line over the battery, and af ter that, coming in contact with 5,000 Russian cavalry, which was the force stationed beyond the Russian guns, he could turn his horse round and wait for the econd line ? I think any gentlemen must see the folly of such a supposition. (Loud cheers.) Well, ladies and gentle men, I had brought the attacking lino up to that bat tery, they were there employed, some of them in cut ting down the guns—aid, gentlemen, it was there that the great loss of life took place. It was then. or imme diately afterwards, that many a gallant spirit departed this life—it was there—(his lordship again had to pause hero from the intensity of his feelings)—it was there that such men as Hotham, and Goad, and Montgomery, of the 13th Light Dragoons, of Winter, and Webb, and Thompson, of the 17th Lancers—it was there that they met their death ; it was there that White and Morris and Sir W. Gordon were cut to the ground ; it was there that one of my aides-de-camp was wounded, another taken prisoner, and then, or some time later, another met his fate like the rest. I speak of Capt. Lockwood, of the Bth Hussars, than whom there never was a more gentlemanly, a more gallant young officer. (Cheers.) This slaughter took place both amongst officers and men, for the men gallantly followed their officers wherever they went. At the same time in the supporting regi ments both Packer and Fitzgibbon, of the Bth Hussars, Cornet Houghton, of the 11th Hussars, and others whose names lam afraid I can't recollect, were cut off. Well, gentlemen, in the face of all the difficulties there were for the leading line to advance, after getting in among the guns, on account of the obstruction which the gun car riages, the limber carriages, and other machinery of that sort offered—many did advance, and lost their lives ; and when, in 20 minutes from the time we had moved up to the attack, passed over one mile of ground in going, and the same in retiring, I drew up that remnant of the Light Brigade, there remained but 195 out of the 670 men that went into . action. The loss of life of officers, non-commissioned officers', and men—those who were put hori de combat either by death or wounds, or taken pri• goners, was 298, and there were 397 horses put hors de combat, and the whole of that occurred in the short space of 25 minutes. Gentlemen, after this had taken place, I proceeded to Lord Raglan to report the circumstances of the charge, and his lordship expressed to me his marked disapprobation of what had been done, stating that such an attack was totally contrary to the principles of warfare—that is, the attacking a battery in front with cavalry. I have only to say on the subject that there never was n more uncalled forattack, inasmuch as we had seen this Russian battery with a large body of heavy ca valry in its rear at least 20 minutes ; and when this attack , L vr a ,s di o e r s d a e n r d ed g t e h n e t y lem we et r i e , Inefiirtmhelyr abdevliaenvceintKantonritrhentruegahtitnhge. attack was useless in itself, and, in fact, Ras almost the destruction of the light cavalry brigade, the moral effect it had upon the Russian army was of great importanct —at least, so I was informed by that great general. Lord Raglan, who had ascertained the fact from a num ber of Russian deserters who were constantly coming in. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, again, be fore I sit down, let me return my most heartfelt thanks for the great honour you have conferred upon me. Be lieve me, I shall preserve this sword and esteem it of th, greatest value to the last day of my life. I shall always recall to memory the kind and generous manner ii which I have been received in the West Riding of York shire and in the town of Leeds. I shall carry the savor, along with me to the day of my death, as the mos gratifying of all things I possess —as that which 1 value the most. (Loud cheers, during which the noble !cad resumed his Neat.) BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY. The ,A.nnual Meeting of the members and shareholders of this company was held on Friday at the offices, 47, Moorgate-street ; Mr. James Low, chairman of the com pany, presiding. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read from the Lonclon Gazette, The CHAIRUAN said that the business of the day lay quite in a nutshell. The report to be presented would supply the history of the movements of the company during the year, and - stow, that, although the amount of business done was not so large as could be wished, there had been a decided progress, and that the affairs of the company were in a healthy and satisfactory state. He c)uld not but believe, however, that, had there been more zeal on the part of the members, a far larger num ber of policies might have been effeeted ; and he ear nestly hoped that less apathy would be manifested in the year ensuing. It would require but a very little effort, he was satisfied, on the part of any member to secure one more at least. Did they all feel as lively an ir terest in the progress of the society as some did, thr y would• sot fail to commend it to -the 'notice of all with whom they came in contact ; and then, instead of ir.creasing the business by a million a-year there was apparently no reason why it might not be extended to five, or even ten millions..(flear.) Let the mutual principle on which the , ociety is founded only become thoroughly known, and it must of necessity commend itself to the judgment of every one ; .if for no. Other reason because it would be felt to be a pocket question. He would have the mem bers consider, moreover, that a much more extended business might be done .by the machinery required- to transact the present ; and consequently that being a mutual society they were deeply interested in canvassing for insurers. The' .eighliVantr of the Company's exist ence had now been corneleted j'and it was Pleasing to trace thegradual advancement effected from the first year to the present time, The amount of business done in the first year might be stated, in round numbers, at 659,0001.; the second year, 664,0001. ; the third, 731,0001. ; the fourth, 829,0001. ; the fifth, 940,000/, ; the sixth, 1,295,00e1.; the seventh, 1,301,0001. ; and the eighth, 1,382,0001. (Cheers.) The latter figures represented the amount insured at the office this last year ; and the steady progress made was surely a clear and pleasing indication that the mutual principle is pressing itself on the general mind of the community ; and that the expectation might be safely cherished that the British Empire Mutual Company would attract to itself every new year a larger ❑umber of members than that which preceded it. (Hear) The report would now be read. Mr. F. CIITHBERTSON, Managing Director, accord. ingly submitted the following document : " The directors have again the pleasure of reporting a steady increase in the business of the company, some what larger indeed than last year, and, according to the Governmental returns, larger than that of the great ma jority of offices ; at the same time, the directors cannot think it equal to what the mutual principle justly de. served, and must again appeal to their insurers to re commend in their respective circles a company whose fundamental principle ought to cernmond a very large business. " The policies issued during the year were 2,840, in suring property to the amount of 1 ,382,551/., which ex ceeds the increase of last year by 196 policies (averaging in amount 400/. each). " The receipts of the company from policies during the year amounted to 14,470/. 11g. 2d„ of which 6,7411. 16s. sd. was for duty to the Government, and 7,7231. 14s. 9d. for premiums. "For claims on losses which have occurred during the year, the sum of 6,118/. 17s. 31. has been paid, as also an additional sum of 3,914/. 68. ld. carried for claims in progress of settleme .t at the last audit. It is gra tifying that the losses by fire this year, though large, should be so much less than those of the excep tional year 1855, which was a severe one for nearly all the offices. "The directors, in consequence of the heavy losses referred to during the last two years—though none of them are such as any care on their part could have pre vented, and though the average of a series of years will, of course, be very much less—have yet determined to economise expenditure in every way which will not be disadvantageous to the company itself; and have, ac cordingly, reduced the interest received by themselves on their large proportion of the guarantee fend from seven to five per cent. The majority of the shareholders have also cheerfully followed their example, and it is confidently hoped that all will ultimately concur. "Some of the members may have been perplexed by observing in the Times' statistics on fire assurance, that large sums as capitsl are assigned to the old offices, but n Ailing to The British Empire. It may be useful to re mind sucti persons that the large guarantee fund, at call (subscribed for this company), is a security to the insurers, fully equal to that of the subscribed shares in any proprietary office. _ " Tbe attempt of the French offices to insure English property wit4out payment of duty and policy stamp would, it was hoped, have opened the eyes of the Go vernment to the unjust nature of the duty levied, in addition to the necessary charge for inmrance on all property exposed to damage by fire; a tax on honesty and prudence exc'usively, and a tax which the fully equal amount ef incombustible property in the kingdom es capes. They accordingly forwardei to the House of Commons petitions, signed by about 17,000 of their members and others • but, though other offices joined in similar efforts ' the others; ,of the Exchequer would neither repeal the tax, nor reduce its exorbitant rate. It is understood, however, that the members of the House of Commone, generally, are so canvinced of the iniquity of the tax, that it will be one of the first repealed when the expenses of the war have bean discharged. " Messr-. Cuthbertson, Gould, and Freeman are the retiring Directors ; Mr. Gould, however, was obliged, by the state of his health, to resi g n soon after the last public meeting. Th e o th er t wo Directors are eligible for re-election. " By the election of Mr. Doxsey to the Directorate, a vacancy occurred in the Auditorship ; Mr. Moore, who announced himself at the last Annual Meeting as a can didate for the vacancy, in case of Mr. Ihxsey's election, was therefore requested to audit the accounts with the remaining Auditor, and now offers himself as a candidate for the vacancy. Mr. Pewtress retires by rotation from the Auditorship, and is eligible for re-election. Mr. Clowes having resigned the Secretaryship, in consequence of a decided opinion that the business of the Company would be best conducted by a Managing Director, the Directors, concurring with his view, re quested one of their number, Mr. Cuthbertson, to accept that office, and have every reason to be satisfied that the arrangement will be advantageous to the Company, and give confidence to the members. Tire Direet irs will onlyit;theraad, that their agents throughout the country are increasingly efficient, and they hove no doubt of obtaining during the present year a large augmentation of bwinesp, The CHAIRMAN felt much pleasure in moving the adoption of the Report. The members would see that the Directors had endeavoured, by every means in their power, to discharge the duties devolving upon them as effectually as possible. One method adopted for bene fiting the members was, to a 4( the guarantee share holders to consent to the reduction of interest from 7 to 5 per cent.,—a request that had been very generally complied with. (Hear, hear.) At the same time, the Directors had resolved to give up their own attendance fees for the present. (Hear, hear.) It had become evi dent, during the last few years, that fire assurance is attended with a great deal of uncertainty ; the •laims on some of the offices had been almost overwhelming ; and his own opinion was, that the question would have to be very carefully considered whether additional premiums must not be demanded. He attributed very many of the large fires that now took place to the care less use of lucifer matches and fusses. The British Em pire, happily, bad not suffered such heavy losses as some of the other offices; and these would have been still lighter if a multitude of small claims, amounting to only a few sHilings eacb, had not been made, and certainly ought not. The individuals making them derived but scanty benefit, and yet, when these insignificant sums were put together, they amounted to a considerable sum. If persons thought of this they would surely be prevented from making s uch claims. Aft er d wel li ng at some length on th peculiar advantages and the prosperous position of the Company, the Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the Report. • The Report was then unanimously adopted. Mr. Cuthbertson and Mr. Freeman, the two retiring Directors, wore next re-elected to the Board by a unani mous vote. Mr. Powtress, the retiring Auditor, was also re-elected with the same-unanimity ; and Mr. Moore chosen as the second Auditor in the room of Mr. Doxsey, who had been elected a Director at the last annual meeting. Mr. Moon E returned thanks. Ile hail been engaged upon the last audit, and could safely say that he believed verpyosition facility bad been given them of affairs ; and both t the Company to be in a state quite as satisfactory as expected.cruldndbeers himself and his brother Auditor were not a little pleased the straightforward andiclear way in which the books understand t h real e E were kept. (Hear, hear.) Before resuming his seat, he wished to have the pleasure to move the following Resolution : " That thie meeting is gratified t o b ear o f th e s t ea d y increase of the Company's business, and wishes to urge upon all insurers the gnat importance of giving the it support to a Company founded on the principle of giving to them the entire profits of their payments ; and that this meeting fully according in all that is stated in the Report and Petition respecting the injustice and impolicy of the Fire Insurance Duty, requests the Directors to watch every opening for promoting its repeal, and con- Alders it to be the duty of all insurers to use their best efforts ft - r the abolition of such an uniust impost." ['his being a speech in itself, no speech was needed to recommend it for the adoption of the meeting. Ile would only suggest, that it the Society had not made so much progress as could have been wished, it was not - he fault of the Directors, but of the members. He had aimself brought in three or four policies this last year; and hoped that all those interested in the Company's welfare would seek to do the same during the year en• Mr. WATSON, the solicitor, said that evidently the in creak* to which Asir, Banta (a previous speaker) referred, was the increase upon the increase. (Hear, hear.) The premiums of the last year were 6,6821. against 7,7281. this year, so that the increase by premiums was more by 1,1001. than the business of the previous year ; which was a result, he confessed, that appeared to himself per fectly astonishing, when one considered the difficulties which such an office had to contend with in consequence of the reckless competition going on among the various Fire-offices of the day. If the great losses experienced by the several companies during the last few years should continue—which, however, he did not suppose would be the case—then they must either raise their rates of premium, er give up business. One institution that he could name, with an income of 10,0001., had been required to pay 24,0001. for the fire losses of the year ; whereas the losses of this Society had not reached 75 per cent. Now, if the business could be doubled during the ensuing year there would be quite sufficient to pay all expenses and leave a profit, even sup- posing the losses should continue at the same ratio ; but, unless all previous calculations failed, 50 per cent. would certainly pay them. (Hear.) But, whatever night be the course of events, tho ample guarantee capi tal of the company would insure the prompt payment of all just claims. The Company, was in the peculiar position of standing related to three others, which made a point of systematically bringing business of the best sort to the office, so-that there was no fear of a constant supply coming in. He had the fullest possible confidence in the stability and progress of the society. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. GROSEE moved : That the thanks of this meeting be given to the directors for their disinterested services in the manage ment cif this company." Mr. D. PRATT seconded the resolution. The resolution was unanimously aloptsd. Mr.. CUTHBERTSQ2I, in a few ; earnest ,words, ledded.the iote-onobetialf of himieittia,Sl2o low= Mr. JOHN THOMPSON then moved, and Mr. B. W. WEBB seconded-- "That the thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby given, to the Chairman, for the able manner in which he has conducted this meeting." The resolution having been c,rdially adopted, the Chairman made his acknowledgments, and the proce - .:1- logs terminated. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EAST KENT. The seventh half-yearly general meeting of the share holders of this company was held on Saturday at the London Tavern—Lord Sondes in the chair. The direc tors' report has been given by us. The balance sheet of the company showed that a sum of 193,7871. had been received on the capital account of 350,0001., of which sum 158,6461. had been expended in works, legal expenses, and other matters, the re mainder of the amount received being invested in loans and securities, and lying as balance at the company's bankers. Lord SONDES, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the improved prospects of the company, and the near approach to the termina tion of the works in course of progress. Sir J. TYLDEN seconded the motion, and called atten tion to the fact of Lord Sondes having eonsented to re ceive the whole value of 30 acres of his land, required fur the purposes of• the ii‘ii-7ay. in shares of the com pany. On the part of the in , :'ants of Dover an in creased amount of interest was felt in the progress of the undertaking, more especially since the partial de struction of that portion of the South-Eastern line be tween Shakspere's Cliff and the Dover station. The directors hoped to be able to 3)cure a West-end termi nus fir their line in London iq the course of the next sdssion. In answer to a question put by a shareholder, The CHAIRMAN said that ab ) a 140, 0001. at present remained 'due on arrears of calls. Mr. ALDRIDGE thought that. , eh case it was bad policy for the directors to cornru) me working at both ends of the line; they ought raths& t) economise their capital. Mr. CRAMPTON, C.E., in answer to several questions put by shareholders, explained that the to tal number of milesof railway comprised in the Souli• Ea stein system, including the North Kent line, was JO, and the ave• rage traffic was about 3,200/. annum. This average was, however, almost entirely i t it allied by the enormous amount of traffic on the North K en slim) ; the traffic on these 30 miles from London t,ridg e to Strood averaging 7,4001. per mile per annum. East Kent Rail way, which was an extension of this ommencing by a junction with it at Street!, and 0 ea.i .1 g through Rochester, Chatham, Sittingbourne, and Fa veishain, to Canterbury, and thence to Dover, thus shortening the distance to Canterbury, Ramsgate, by 21 miles, and that to Dover by 12 miles—it was not too much to anticipate that the traffic on the E%s-, Dent line, of which it was the continuation, espaela:i! as it received the whole of the Canterbury, Rarns4ati, nod Margate, as well as the through traffic from 1,) vial Roolies ter to Dover, and the csntinental tr: e, ;iesides being supplied with a Sheerness branch by an independent company. Taking this estimate of 7,4001. on 46 miles from Strood to Dover, they had for the whole traffic a total of 340,0001., which, deducting 50 per cent. for working expenses, left 170,2001. for dividend, above 14 per cent. on the capital of 1,200,000/. If they took, however, the average traffic on the whole Siutli•Eastern system, considering that the company lost about 100,0001. per annum by unproductive bralielies, it was certainly far below the minimum that might be expected on the East Kent line. ' AThe thanks of the meeting were voted to the noble chairman and the directors, and the proceedings termi nated. lIAPSBURG vice CALCRA FT. (From Punch.) Hanging, with which, not long ago, the public appeared to have got nearly disgusted, seems of late to have in some measure recovered its popularity, or rather its place in the affections of the educated and governing classe , . It is true that Celestina‘Somner escaped the gallows, but did not the Home Secretary hang Martha Brown ? and if the former's crime was one of the most cruel murders on record, was not the offence of the latter mere man• slaughter committed under the extenuating circum stances of extreme provocation Fro , n one extreme the Government will of course run into the other, and the executioner, in that his office is no sinecure, will differ even more widely than he now does from the Cathedral Cano:7. The increasing employment of no gallows will pro bably prove a stimulus to the attainment of excellence in the executioner's department of high art : and then, as a necessary consequence, we shall have foreign ability invited to compete with British talent. Application will naturally be made to Germany ; but, we would suggest, chiefly to that particular portion of Father. land called Austria: A letter has been written to a Genoese paper by General Garibaldi, stating that poor Ciceruacchio, the popu!ar orator of the modern Romans, and his two soca. boys ui.der age, together with four other persons, one of them a chaplain, have been barbarously shot, in cold blood, at Contarina, near the mouth of the Po, by Aus trian soldiers commanded by an officer of the imperia family. Since, even if Ciceruacchio bad rendered him self liable to be shot, his Holiness the Pope was the only person legally qualified to shoot Min, this abomi nable act on the part of the Austrians, was an officious exercise of the office of the finisher of the Papal law. It shows them to be born with a natural turn for that officer's vocation. Besides, was not the reign of the present Emperor of Austria inaugurated by hangings? It is remarkable, in connection with this circumstance, that the officer in com mand of the Austrian soldiers who put to death Ciceruac chb, his children, and the other persons whom they had no right to,meddle with, was a member of the Imperial family. 'No doubt they all hacg together. If, therefore, foreign professors of the halter are to be encouraged, like so many other foreign artists, to afford this country the advantage of their ingenuity in their own peculiar line, let application bo made, in the first in stance, to the Austrian Government for the required assist ance. The status of the hangman will be improved by the importation of Austiian competitors ; for the office is evidently one of honour in the dominions of Francis Joseph, and any other dominions occupied by his gallant troops, who volunteer its performance, and are, doubtless, as handy with the rope as they are with the rifle. Perhaps his Majesty will send us that distinguished member of his family who commanded the gallant party, all volunteers perhaps, that executed those above-mentioned subjects of the Pope on account of Isis Holiness. We shall doubtless receive with all the hon ours due to his exalted rank and elevating pursuit that amateur Imperial assistant of Under-Sheriff4, and shall unanimously agree in nominating him Arch- Jack-Ketch.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Morninj Post.) MOSCOW, AUG. 21. We are not quite reduced to pitcli tents in the streets yet, although the throng is becoming stu pendous in Moscow. The Emperor is to be in Moscow in five days, the 14th of the month, old style—the 26th by ours. Four days later—that is, the 19ch (31st) instant—he makes his solemn entry into this truly wondrous old city,. Then, on the 7th of September, as you know, he is to be crowned. The entry will be as great a celebration as the crowniag. I had not been an hour in Moscow before I was on the top of the famous bell -tower in the Kremlin. Such -a spectacle as unrols itself from that spot exists nowhere else in the world. As I was return ing I met Lord Granville driving towards the Kremlin. Yesterday (Wednesday) the great crown of the Russian Empire was borne in state from the rail way station, through. the heart of. Moscow, to the Kremlin. A. mob-of some twenty or thirty p ersons had assembled lo witness its arrival. Detachments of the Chevalier Garde, of which corps her Ma jesty-the reigning Empress is colonel, escorted the carriages. In my letter of to-morrow I will try to place before your readers the many strange aspects which this place presents. .AvouST 19. Yesterday morning, at 11 a.m., Earl Granville and-the British Embassyleft St: Petersburg by the ailnitOraii4Uablitagos: direct: to Moscow. : Both- ,terminus --- at St. Petersburg- - and' ' that' at Moscow are very large, commodious, and showy buildings, with every requirement. There was what appeared to me (for I came by the same train) as large a crowd as an excursion-day would have collected at the most frequented station in London ; but I was assured that the passengers were fewer than on almost any day for the last twenty. As this is Russia's only long railway, and as (their rolling stock being new) they had actually on one occasion not been able to put on carriages enough for the number of travellers who presented them selves in the course of the morning, I went more than an hour before the train started to make sure of my place. I found many before me ; and pre sently the crush became frightful, and the apparent confusion hopeless. It was aggravated by the mul titude of foreigners, who could not explain them selves iu Russ, and some of whom went about swearing in a great variety of languages. No pub lic establishment in Russia is wanting in polyglot officials, and certainly these poor interpreters were severely worked while I was present. The rest of the functionaries who speak only Russ are active in unceasingly and patiently unravelling the tangle Of such crowds. They listen, for instance, to Smith, who harangues them in what he considers French, until Smith has pronounced some leading word, like " baggage," which happens to resemble its Russian equivalent. They then know Smith's dif ficulty, and hurry him forthwith to the luggage counter, where by dint of pantomime-4n which Smith enacts his share with furious energy, and the officials with persistent clearness of signs—the number of parcels constituting the travellers effects is ascertained. Tickets are then given to Smith, and he is impressively urged by an imitative gesture to put them in safety ; nay, they are some times thrust into his pocket. Before these tickets are consigned to him, he is made to understand by a holding up of fingers, and a reiteration of the word " rouble," that he must pay as many units of this coin as he has parcels, that is 3s. 2d. for each parcel. He has five. He has paid his five roubles, and he is wild with distraction, for now his luggage has suddenly and utterly vanished. He becomes black in the face with his exertions as a linguist ; and it being impossible to pacify him by any words in thi whole Russian language, he is at last bodily dragged, with every look of politeness, across the crowded booking-office to a counter where four clerks are writing, and one is looking over the counter. Smith was there before ;it was there he paid the 16 roubles for his passage ticket to Moscow. All langua g es are the same to the clerk who is not writing, and who, gently ignoring Smith's French grievances, tranquilises him in English, and ex plains that all his effects are safe, and that when he reaches his destination he will receive them at once, provided he does not lose his countermarks in the meantime. However, it is not even here that the passenger may be said to transact his first business at the station, for when ho takes out his purse, and puts down his fare, he is asked for his passport. If be has imagined that any of the several previous permits which have been granted to him in St. Petersburg will serve (for each change of hotel a new one), over and above the regular visas of his origi nal passport by his ambassador or consul, and then by the police ; if ho has supposed that this is suffi cient, he is quite mistaken. Hs is sent back for another day. It is the inconceivable complications of the Russian passport system, and its accessory obligations, which more than any other unpleasant nesses, make travellers who have once been in the country dread a returnto it; and as there is nothing which the new reign is said to be more anxious to encourage than the influx of foreigners into Russia, it would really and seriously be worth the while of Government in Russia to modify the vexatious re quirements now imposed upon the traveller. No other country except China has, or ever had, in force forms so numerous, so onerous, so useless, so absurd, or, in some respects, so discreditable. But, as the sub ject well deserves a little chapter to itself, and as the passport and police tribulations undergone at St. Petersburg by a traveller bound for Moscow are only the preliminaries of those he will undergo in this last place, and as these are but corollaries of the others, I reserve the whole subject till I can give you my practical experience of it in its com pleteness. This I will do ere quitting Russia. Meantime, I return to Smith. Smith has complied with every portion of the intricate regulations ; and, knowing this, he has not felt any of the anxiety which made me proceed so superfluously early (as it might seem) to the railway station. When, therefore, in return for the production of his money he is asked for his Moscow passport, he confidently draws it forth • but the bell is ringing, and, heavens I he is told thati it is not vised. He points to the visa of his consul, to the next visa of the secret police, to Count Orloff's visa, to the visa of the p lice of his first quartier, to that of the police of the quartier to which he then removed, to that of the police in the district from which he has last and only just come, and he de mands indignantly, "Do they call that ' not vied 11" The English speaking clerk has, un luckily, his attention engaged elsewhere for the moment ; and it is with German that poor Smith is being pelted now. Still he has one chance. The clerk addresses a few words in Russ to the porter ; the latter jabbers vehemently to Smith, and points across the office; " Pashowlst," he cries, and beckons Smith to follow. Ah lif our tormented countryman's good angel would only inspire him to do so. The Russian porter will not despair, and, in reply to Smith's "You be —, it is vised, I tell you ; don't you see it is vised in 50 places." In reply to this he ventures to lay a hand on Smith's collar gently to draw him through the seething and fast-thickening crowd. The spirit of a Briton is immediately roused by this last atrocity ; he has not rightly read the benevo lent anxiety in ithe face of the poor Mujik ; for Smith is athletic, but not a physiognomist, any more than a linguist. Just as he has sent his in solent adversary reeling against the fat Russian merchant who is hurrying out to the platform at the sound of the second bell, the clerk, who speaks all languages, happens to be again disengaged, and calls out that the visa now required is merely that of the officer at the other side of the booking-office. Smith rushes thither, presents his passport, has it stamped, receives it back, struggles once more through the crowd, and arrives at the counter where he should receive his passenger ticket only to find that the time is past for its delivery. Mean while his luggage is in the train, which, nearly a quarter of a mile long, is now beginning slowly to move past the tall windows and windowed doors. There Nt ill be no more trains that day, except a i special one for his Imperial Highness the Prince ' Romanovsky and his suite. Having been more fortunate or more careful, I • was safe in that train. Besides Earl and Countess Granville and their suite, and the young family of the Prince of Oldenburg, it contains the fifth or ' sixth end final instalment of the Empe ror ' s " golden coaches." As I saw them afterwards at the Moscow station—a part of their splendour pur oosely and coquettishly revealed to the admiring lud wonder-stricken gaze of the loyal Muscovites —they again impressed me as surely the most gor- 1 ;eons equipages in which a Sovereign ever rode. But I described them minutely in my letter of the sth instant. They are marvellously hung, and each huge and ponderous mass, while rolling out of the terminus, trembled on its delicate springs as sensitively as the leaf of the aspen. The Russian railway carriages are immeasurably more comfortable than ours. Instead of so many ;, g partitions, each locked ao that the pwengers cannot ,-Ada _ '``.
