But the present is of a totally different character, and imperatively demands the steps already taken —the demonstration in the Persian Gulf, and the pecuniary aid afforded to the Sovereign of Cabul. A few lacs of rupees, promptly supplied, may render a far greater expenditure unnecessary, and avert what cannot be regarded as a little war. THEATRE ROYAL, A DEL PHI. Return of Mdme.

Under any circumstances, it is essential that the course of Russia should be vigilantly and care fully watched. Her complicity with Persia seems indisputable, and it is that which renders the danger so threatening. If Persia alone were concerned the matter might be left to DosT MAHOIIET. As it is, there is no alternative but to meet the attack with vigour and resolution,ao as to prevent the insertion of " the sharp end of the Muscovite wedge."

L TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1856. ~- There is another Eastern' difficulty " looming in the future,"—one in which England is more immediately concerned than in that which led to the late war, and the sacrifice 50,000 British citizens and one hundred millions of English money. Russia is again intriguing in the Esst ; but on this occasion she operates through Persia, instead of against Turkey ! It appears that a considerable Russian corps is concentrated on tl‘e frontiers of Persia and Turkey, ready to act at . short notice if affairs in Persia should require their aid, or the Muscovite influence should for a moment cease to be in the ascendant at the Cour of that generally obedient Satrap, the SellAtr. The Persians have, however, required bu little persuasion from St. Petersburg. They re ceived sufficient encluragemant in the f3II of Kars and the neglect of Turkish interests in Asia to pin their faith on the Autocrat—and to observe his behests with implicit obedience. The destruction of Sabastopol and the reverses sus. tained by the Russian arms in the Crimea were all lost sight of, or rather merged, in the reduc. tion of the Turkish fortress, and he emerged from the conquest with even increased prestige in - the eyes of the rorsia.n authorities. That fact has been established on tho clearest and most unquestionable evidence. We have seen the treatment experienced by the British representative in Persia—which led to his with. drawal and the suspension of diplomatic inter• LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY. I THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL, AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Buckstone's admirable company of come- ians are now performing nightly to delighted Louses poor old Sherry's incomparable masterpiece •" The School for Scandal"—one of the wittiest and most sparkling dramas in the language. The cast is altogether very excellent. Miss Reynolds, as Lady Teazle, being the veritable embodiment of elegance and vivacity. Mr. Chippendale never ap pearing in our recollection to greater advantage— in his accustomed role as another of those testy old stage gentlemen of whom William Farren was wont for so many years to be the wholly unapproachable representative—than in the arduous, but when once mastered, inimitable part of Sir Peter Teazle : the quondam old bachelor, fretted by the perverse humours of a pretty young wife into the most peevish 'and irrascille of antiquated bridegrooms. Besides these two very conspicuous personages in the drama—each as we have said very happily re- presented in the Haymarket cast—fancy the dry preposterous humour glancing out of the corners of the compressed mouth and out of every gleam of the serious eyes of Mr. Compton as Crab tree ! Fancy the roars of laughter provoked by the irresistible look, voice, walk, dress, deport- ment of Mr. Buckstone as Sir Benjamin Backbite Fancy Miss Talbot showing new powers, never guessed at before, through her sarcastic raillery as Mrs. Candour! Fancy Mrs. Poynter unexpectedly " topping" all her past successes by her clever and caustic impersonation of Lady Sneerwell ! Of the Sir Oliver Surface of Mr. Rogers, we regret we can say nothing more than that it was rendered chiefly conspicuous by a very speckled costume, a very husky tone, and a very boisterous manner. The Joseph Surface of Mr. Howe was—as the most indifferent of that skilled and experienced actor's performances cannot fail to be—singularly pains taking, and, therefore, singularly commendable. Even Mr. W. Farren, who is steadily and percept ibly improving, wins the applause of his auditors in the little part of Sir Barry, by his agreeable carolling of a familiar old convivial ditty. Mr. Clark, too, a favourite old actor of the " littlest' parts in the world, the mere servants and messengers who fetch and go upon the stage, but who contrives in these " very little" parts never by any chance to step upon the boards without raising a laugh—has his audiences fairly shaking their sides, night after night, by his freaks and oddities as Moses. Miss E. Sabine manages somehow to look at once pretty and awkward, in the character of that tamest of tame " walking ladies," Maria. Trip is altoge ther intolerable. Rowley, as he should be, just respectable. Snake, sleekly disreputable and bash fully impudent. Careless, a good-looking nobody of a mock-auctioneer. While, to crown all, there remains to be spoken of the light-comedy hero of the whole sparkling drama—Charles Surface, por trayed just now, at the little theatre in the Hay market, with uncommon vivacity, and in the most glossy and radiant attire imaginable, by the new American actor, Mr. Murdoch. A gentleman who happens nowadays to be about the very best im personation the stage possesses of those riant, gay, delightful sparks represented of old with such matchless - grace and animation by the unapproach able and incomparable Robert William Elliston. As ill-luck would have it, Mr. Murdoch looks just a trifle too old for Charles Surface, and a trifle too large, and a trifle too loud. Otherwise his per formance is capital—at moments quite delightful. So, too, we may remark of the whole comedy as now represented on the boards of the Haymarket. to a part of the refugees who have not applied, TAATESTheythehavvieownsot i c s ° ll u m d e i r t i i r ithat supported t revo lutionary party. Count Ra.detzky has, moreover, furnished a list of all the persons with whose applications he has not up to this time complied. All these persons will be completely amnestied. The orders given for the txpulsion of such emi grants as have returned without duo authorisation will be annulled, and the legal proceedings com inencQd against them abandoned." The Vienna. Gazette publishes the text of the treaty concluded in June last between Austria and Sardinia, and of which the ratifications were ex changed at - Vienna on the 24th July following, relative to the junction of the Lombard and Sar dinian railways. By Art. 1 of that treaty, the Sardinian government undertakes to have a line constructed from Navarra to the Austrian frontier near Buffalero, and by Art. 2 Austria engages to ave a railway executed from Buffalero to Milan. AN ENGLISH GUN-BOAT FIRED UPON. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 10. An English gun-boat, having pursued into the Sea of Azoff some Russian sloops which had cap• tured Turkish vessels engaged in smuggling salt, was fired upon by the fort of Yenikale. The English interdict the approach of Russian ships to the Isle of Serpents. The check experienced by the Persians before Herat is insignificant. Intelligence from St. Petersburg states that a considerable corps of Russian troops is concen- ,rated on the frontiers of Persia and Turkey, to give effect, in case of need, to the influence of Russia, if the affairs of Persia and AffghaniNtan should assume a serious character. The New German Gazette of Berlin says : "We learn from a good source that the Engl lish Government has officially notified to the Cabinets of Paris, Constantinople, and Vienna, that tho English fleet, now in the Black Sea, will pass the winter at Sinope. No notifica tion to that effect has been made to Russia, because no doubt the declaration of Lord Strat ford de Redcliffe to Baron de Boutenieff, that the English fleet will remain in the Black Sea until Russia shall have completely executed the treaty of peace, is considered sufficient." NEUCHATEL. A letter from Frankfort of the 13th, in the Hamburg News, says :—" The following steps will, it is reported to us, be made by Prussia in the Neuchatel question. M. de Savigny, Prussian envoy to the Swiss confederation, will shortly leave Sigmaringen for Berne, in order to read before the council a note relative to the release of the prisoners. This note will be firmly supported by the Austrian Minister, M. de Monshengen ; the Bavarian Minis ter, M. de Malzan ; and the representative of Baden, M. de Duseh. In the event of these diplomatic steps not being attended with success, the Prussian Government has the intention of marching three corps d'armee against the frontier cantons, and of seizing on Schaffhausen as a pledge. Switzerland would be called upon to pay the expenses of this expedition. It is hoped that the mission of Gen. Dufour to Paris will have a favourable result, for • it is thought that the French Government .will recommend conciliatory measures to the general, who, in his turn, will impress the necessity of their adoption on the minds of his fellow-citizens." TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7 6 .L'--SOme severe storms had occurred in the waters . of the Levant. The Emperor of Russia had forwarded the decorat ion of the White Eagle to, Ismael Pacha, General-in- Chief of the Turkish army in Asia, in consideration of the kindly manner he had acted towards the Russian prisoners at Kars. Three hundred vessels, laden with grain, coming principally from the ports of the Danube, had passed through the Bosphorus, on their way to the Adriatic, Marseilles, and Eng land. The port of Suez presented an animated appearance, and a new service of steamers was being prepared ; those employed on the line from Suez to Djeddah made the passage in five days. A litter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" It is certain that the relations between , Russia and Austria have become of a very delicate character, and that the petty vexations to which Prince Eiterhazy, ambassador at the coronation, was subjected at the Court of Russia, have contri buted to cool those previously existing between the two courts. It is a fact that since the return of Prince Esterhazy the sympathies of the high Austrian aristocracy for Russia have greatly di minished." The Paris Correspondent of the Times (Second Edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " M. Antonini, the Neapolitan Ambassador, is still here, though he has his passports. There is no day fixed for his departure ; and he seems to linger willingly on the scene of his past glories. While one diplomatic luminary is setting, another makes his brilliant appearance on the verge of the horizon. Count Kisseleff, who is now the recog nised Ambassador of Russia at the Court of the Tuileries, will receive to-morrow and the day after the members of the diplomatic corps. He will then fairly enter on the winter campaign." The Paris correspondent ad the itforiting Post ;Second Edition) says : SEBASTOPOL. • ' A letter from the Crimea, dated the 25thult., and written by a French officer, says :—No project has been adopted by the Imperial go;rernmen t for again raising the defensive works of Sebastopol , or for again fitting out a fleet. The vessels of war sunk in the roadstead and in the port have not been got up. The only thing that has been done has been to endeavour to clear the entrance so as to allow merchant vessels to pass in and out. The masts and rigging of the line•of-battl e I ships have been removed, but the hulls are so deeply embedded in the sand that it is impossible to raise them. Divers who have gone down state that sey t eial of the bulls have almost entirely die" appeared in the sand and mud. As regards COal' merce, the port of Sebastopol is abandoned for that of Karniesh, which is found much more conveni ent. Tho town of Sebastopol still presents, 1c" 129,, thing more than a heap of ruins, but among vll3 may be seen some few houses belonging to wealthy persons who have had them repaired, and some few 'tiontimentg which either escaped destruction during the war or have been repaire d since the p eace. In the part which was occupied by the labouring part of the population a num ber of the former inhabi tants have returned, but th e y live in tents and sheds erected among the ruins. The p ublic squares and streets are still covered with proje rctiles. one-ten The pre sent population is ab out 4,000, about th of what it was formerly. The rich have again taken possession of their houses, but not in great number. Marshal Prince Woronzow is expected here shortly from Odessa. He intends, it is said, to repair his old palace, and to impart by his ex ample a little life to a place to which he has always been much attached. With the exception of one post of 30 men, to maintain order, and another Of custom-house officers, there is nothing like a gar rison in the place, which now p resents not the slightest appearance of a fort ified town. The 01119 resource of the AVoorer classes is to go to work on. the farms in the neighbourhood. On the north ern side of the port the forts remain in the sarne as during the war, but the garrison is barelY lel-15" enough to keep them in order. " I have reason to believe that the assertions of the Nord, which declare Rumia willing to give up the Island of Serpents and tile Bolgrad difficulty, are not correct. h is, howerver, possible that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg may have inada'propo sitions on these disputed articles of the vtkeaty, which are not likely to be accepted in Paris or Loudon. " We get a strange report from Naples by tele graph, which says the Govemnment is about to make a free port of Naples. This is highly im probable, for the Customs duties are one of the chief resources of the revenue. The city was tranquil on the 12th." We extract the following fro= the letter of the Times' (Second Edition) correspondent at Vienna, dated Nov. 15 : NE W PRUSSIAN NAVAL ARSENAL IN THE BALTIC. " Not only is the Prussian G overnment opposed to England, Austria, and Tuurkey in the Bes sarabian frontier question, but Baron von Man teuffel is endeavouring to consolidate the friendly relations which have recently been established between the Russian and French Cabinets. It also related that the Prussian l'itinister-President speaks and acts as if the alliance between Russia and France were a fait accompli. "Your particular attention is called to the foregoing information, as it is from an excel lent Prussian source, and wa it communicated to me with the remark, that it; might be well that the British nation should know who was its friend and who its foe. My informant ex pressly stated that the Prussi,ams as a nation abhorred the very idea of analliantee with France, and had a strong bias in favour of England. It it still asserted that the question. of the resump tion ef the Paris Conferences is far from being settled, and the positive assura once has to-day been given me that the Emperor Francis Joseph has expressed himself to the effect, that it will not be his fault if the stipulations oil' the Treaty of 'Paris are not fulfilled. The anii aosity of Russia towards this country increases fi om day to day, -and Count Buol and his Itupe rial master are .hated by the Muscovites with a perfect hatred. '..Not long since a Russian of raitAc expressed his conviction that Count Buol would be insulted, if not seriously ill-treated r should he ever N'enture to appear in the streets of St. Petersburg.

Sun Office, 112, Strand. r 9 ' 4f " , ~wl,. course—the sudden attack on Herat, tho more recent investment of that city—which has been justly termed, " the Gateway to India" . indifference with which the tardy declaration o hostilities by the English authorities has been received by the Schah. Such extreme mea sures would not have beeen attempted but for •secret promptings from St. Petersburg, and satisfactory assurances of support, in the event of matters peoceeding to extremities. It suits the purposes of the CZAR to annoy and if possible injure Great Britain in any way that cannot bring on him the anger of other Powers. He has not forgotten—can never forgive—the manner in which his significant hints respecting the distribu tion of " the sick man's" assets were received, or the leading part taken by the United Kingdom in defeating his policy and humiliating his overween ing pride. England is now the bete noir in Russian sight—the unmanageable opponent that insists on the due performance of treaties, and can be neither bullied nor cajoled into playing, or even tacitly sanctioning the game of Russia. Hence, the anger at head-quarters, and the use made of a ready and unscrupulous instrument, like the Persian ruler. Herat offered a favourable opportunity for Although not the property of Great '—and the aggression. Britain, it might in friendly hands have been a serious impediment to any designs against the integrity of the Auglo-ludian Empire, and its capture from one of .our Allies would necessarily be regarded as a heavy blow, and great discou ragement to British influence in the East. This was the cause of the first onslaught, as well as of the more deliberate and palpable attack more recently made. It was not merely to transfer an important city from the rule of DOST MAHOMET, to that of either a petty Prince, or of the SCHAH himself—but to remove a valuable out post by whi c h the Anglo-Indian territories were protected fro m any sudden invasion by Russia, with the conni vance and co -operation of t That was the real b of Persia. j oect repel,he that it became essential to onot movement,enlon l y for and sake of DosT MARoItZT, but for the safety, honour, and welfare of our Eastern Empire. It is said that Herat has fallen, that the Persian troops are now in possession of the Indian gate wa y ; and we regret to say there seems to be no reasonable ground for doubting th e statement. The decided repulse of the Persians seems to have occurred in July, while their triumph was deferre I to September. The Delhi Gazette seems to con sider the latter event as unquestionable. Money was wanting, and Eastern mercenaries required Prompt payment as well as more civilised Euro pean troops. opi c, i s a cry that prev a il s amongst warriors in all climes, and it is even " hot from hell" in the Temple, and tell them the next time such a deed is committed there would be no occasion for any noise to b e made about it ! Such a state of things as this is very startling. It may, however, be reasonably accounted for. The system of Mormonism is the vilest imposture on record, and darkness is essential to its legal name development. The temptations to such de velopment are irresistible, but darkness is nowadays impoisible. Strive to hush up the wails and her metically seal the prison of their victims as they may, the feat is simply impossible. The Federal power insists on placing its officers among them ; the United States mail passes through their chief city; strangers cannot he prevented from coming and dwelling among them ; the truth leaks out by driblets, and every eff)rt is required to keep back the whole. The atrocious system is in perpetua 1 danger. Given, then, the rankest scoundrels on GOD'S earth, the most shaky system conceivable, and the ordinary risk of its being exploded, ag gravated by the prospec t of famine, and the rest naturally follows. Though the limit to rascality be undefinable, there is a limit to hypocrisy. It is cast aside when it ceases to serve the turn. If the mail is thus guarded, it is to prevent the escape of their victims, and the revelations that must ensue. If the Mormonites are forbidden to sell wheat to the Gentiles, and are recommended to evade the payment of their just debts to them, be sure of it the perpetuation of the system which enables their leaders to wallow in sensuality is the chief object. Expel the Gentiles by force they dare not, or can not ; provoke them to departure by ruin and bodily fear, that is the next alterna tive, and that is attempted. BILIGIIIII Y MING, speaking of the Gentiles to his deluded, but not over-zealous, followers, says :—" I hate the very sight of them, and if you were real good Mor mons—such Mormons as I would like to see you— no t a single Gentile would remain in the place a minute. It would be too hot for them here. You would make it hotter for them than the south-east corner of a Methodist hell." Not a doubt of it. The metaphorical ruffian is entitled to belief. Above all must the presence of a united States officer be ea nsive to rascals like these. He is a nucleus around which many may gather for counsel an protection—an authority whose reports will meet with credit in a quarter from which interference is most to be dreaded. But a United States officer is hard to move. If unsusce ptible of insult, however, he is not of assassination. Thus we find him assailed with the most murderous intention, in the most cowardly manner. A gang of the Mormon leaders treacherously decoy him, come behind him, beat him on the head with a loaded whip, kick him when down, draw the knife on those who come to the rescue of their blood-stained victim, and gallop off, yelling like so many demons ! The mask is about thrown off now. On the following Sunday afternoon it is thrown off altogether. The scene is the Temple or Tabernacle—present BRIGHAM YOUNG and his first and second counsellors. Up gets the latter worthy, and rebukes the congregated people for the sympathy they had manifested for the half murdered Surveyor—to such an extent had this been done that their rulers were seriously angry. He says : "I am sick of this sympathising spirit which you'' as individuals, have with the Gentiles and apostate Mormons. I abhor this eympathetic feeling you have towards the wretches who would cut your throats, and of whom I can say, as I have said, of Martin Van Buren, that they should be winked at by blind men, they should be kicked across lots by cripples they should be nibbled to death by young ducks, and be drawn through the keyhole to hell by humble bees. Because a poor -. scoundrel will come into our streets drunk and fall into a ditch, and some of our shanpip' brethren happened to stumble over him, you should sympathise with him ! lam ashamed of you ' We ask no odds of the Gentiles ;we care not what they say or do, nor fear what they can do.'" He is interrupted by BRIGHAM, " who ex claims, " Yes ;we ask no odds of any." After an hour's talk of this sort, interlarded with the lowest obscenity, Councillor No. 2 sits down and Councillor No. 1 gets up, and among other things assures the people if such another occurrence takes place they shall not hear of it at all. The sum and substance of the proceedings is, the attempted assassination of the Federal officar is authorita tively approved, and secret murder promised for the future. The mask is now entirely thrown off. The States' authority is defied, and murder approved. We don't wonder at it. It does not excite in us the least surprise. It is Mormonism naturally developed. Of course such an anomaly cannot long be perpetuated. The Mormon leaders must either submit and modify the system to prolong its existence for a while longer, or the community will speedily be broken up, and they glad enough to escape with their lives. We leave them to the consideration of the newly elected President, who will probably know how to deal with them. Our greatest concern is for the dupes of this vile imposture in this country. In every hole and corner throughout the king dom its licentious emissaries are to be found pur suing their iniquitous avocation, and, sad to tell, their success is greater than that of the apostles of mercy. Will the time never arrive when the shepherds of the fold will cease to quarrel among themselves, and unite in preventing the ravages of the wolf ? Will the day never dawn when the limits of human credulity shall be too confined to embrace so patent and so execrable an imposture as Mormonism ? The King and Royal Family of Oude intend to appeal to Parliament nest session. Messrs. Gregory, Skirrow. and Co., of Bedford-row, have been appointed their agents. A DELPHI . THEATRE. A new fairy burletta entitled The Elves, or the StatNe Bride, was produced here last evening for the first time, and met with the most triumphant success. The princi pal idea in the piece is not new. It is evidently founded on a ballet that Wa3 produced some years ago at Drurry lane Theatre under the title of the Marble Maiden The plot of The Elves is simply this :—A certain noble ; man, who imagines himself entirely "used up," happens, while out hunting one day, to see a beautiful marble statue, with which he falls desperately in love. The fairy-queen, in order to punish his railingagainstwoinan kind, endows the statue with life, and at the same time gives four roses to the nobleman, with w hich he can bestow upon his lady-love speech, reason, geaco, and love, but the penalty he is to pay for using each rose is to become ten years older on the giving of a rose. The rest of the story is soon told. The nobl .133 an parts with all his roses, finds himself a. tottering old main, and the love he hoped to gain is bestowed upon a younger rival. In a fit of jealousy he plunges a knife int,) the bosom of his statue bride, and she again becomes ma role. The younger lover implores the Elf-Queen to restor Et the life that has been taken away, and she complies with his request; Sylvia is made mortal, and all ends happily. There is a comic underplot, which is capitally sustained by Mr. Wright and Miss M. Keeley. The Elver has been placed upon the stage with great taste and judg ment, the scenery, dresses, and the whole of the ap pointments are gorgeous in the extreme, and at the fall of the curtain the applause was enthusiastic. Madame Celeste announced the piece for repetition every evening until further notice. ASTLET'S AMPHITHEATRE. A. new equestrian drama has just been produced at this theatre, founded on, and bearing the name of, Mrs. 1 Beecher Stowe's last work, "Dred ; or, a tale of the 1 Dismal Swamp." The story is tolerably closely followed, and the introiilucticn of the horses adds greatly to the verisimilitude of the scene—especially in the closing act. To attempt to at all describe the plot of a story so well known would be useless. We need, therefore, only say that the drama has been well pat upon the stage, and we can propbe•y for it a regular Astley's run, which is gene. rally at least half a season, with plenty of revivals in prospect. Mr. J. Holloway played the fugitive slave "Dred " with great force. The other characters were also well sustained, and some of the scenery was of a su perior order to that generally seen in a minor theatre. The entertainments are nightly brought to a close by the " Scenes in the Circle," in which Miss Kate Cooke reigns supreme as a " bright particular star." No ma nager does more to insure success than Mr. Cooke, and it is gratifying to find his efforts rewarded by crowded ho uses. LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY. A general meeting of this society took p lace last evening at their rooms, 3, Waterloo-place—the Right Hon. Lord Brougham in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed. Lord BROUGHAII wished to bring a subject of con siderable importance before the society. He had been informed b y Lord Lyndhurst that it was not th e inten tion of the Government to proceed during the next ses sion of Parliament with Sir Fitzroy Kelly's measure in reference to the Ecclesiastical Courts. This was a sub ject of much regret to his lordship, inasmuch as it was to be feared that any new measure to be propounded by the Government would be less effective than that which it would supersede. He had been in correspondence with Sir Fitzroy Kelly on the subject, and the council of the society bad passed a resolution that it should be referred to a committee to consider and iepert thereon. His lordship moved that that resolution be confirmed by the meeting. This wag agreed to, and the committee formed ac cordingly. •• Mr. - HASTINGS, the secretary, read a report of a com mittee on law reporting, which suggested that an official record of all judicial decisions should be undertaken by the Government, and sold to the public at a moderate price, it being supposed that all expenses of publication would be defrayed by such sale. Mr. MACQUEEN moved that the report be received. Mr. Sergeant GASELEII strongly protested against Go vernment undertaking such a subject as an official record of j udicial decisions. Sofar from it conducing to ex pedition it would be far' otherwise, and for numerous other reasons he thought suoh a step most injudicious. After some discussion on the subject the motion was adopted. Mr. Sergeant WOOLRYCII moved a resolution to the effect that all bills introduced into Parliament ought, after pa-sing through committee, to be referred to au officer for revision and preparation, subject to the third reading►, for the public service ; an I that until the ap pointment of such officer that society should receive, for the purpose of such revision and preparation, any bill originated by, or under the care of, any member of Par liament who is a member of the society —every effort being made to carry out the utmost economy of language in such acts. The further consideration of this subject was deferred, and the meeting adjourned. It is understood (says Herapatk) that the London, Brighton, and Snitii Coast Railway Company can divide ut the rate of 7 per cent, on the present half, year, but whether they will divide the whole, or re commend to make a reserve for the next half, is not yet determined.

SIR,—In your impression of the y 7th inst. you state that the London General Omnibus Company have "60,000 horses, 3,000 men, " * run about 20,000 miles daily, and convey the almost incredible aggregate of a million of passengers." Surely there is some misstatement here (not designed of course), seeing that the weekly traffic returns of the company:amount, in round numbers, to about 11,0001., and averaging the million passengers at threepence each, gives a daily receipt of 12,500/. There is plainly a blunder somewhere, perhaps mine owing to the word " aggregate," which having been differently explained by a Solicitor and an Attorney- General, and bothered a Committee of the House on the Friendly Societies Bill, I may perhaps be pardoned for being unable to credit that upwards of one-third of the whole population of the metropolis enter the company's 'wises in one day, for which very likely you think me A THICKHEAD. [The article was copied from a morning paper ; but there is evidently a mistake. About a million passengers for the week would •be nearer the num ber. Allowing a fifth to be deducted would be nearer the mark, and about 11,0001. the returns. — ED.
