The gallant general also inspected the barrack schools and the military prison, and last evening set out for Templemore.

A scene of peculiar interest, and recalling the events of former years in Ireland, although in many ways strongly contrasted with them, was witnessed on Sunday at Cahermoyle, the seat of Mr. W. S. O'Brien, near Rathkeale, in the county of Lime rick ; a vast multitude of persons congregated from several of the neighbouring towns and the surround ing districts having assembled for the purpose of giving the late political exile a thorough Irish wel come home. The scene took place after divine ser vice ; and the people preceded by a band of music from Limerick, entered the demesne of Cahermoyle in procession, reminding one by their appearance and enthusiasm of the monster meetings of 1843. Several of the neighbouring gentry, and a great many of the Roman Catholic clergy were present ; and an address to Mr. S. O'Brien having been read, that gentleman returned a reply characterised by a good deal of sound sense and good advice. He said : "Disappointments, privations, and sufferings fall lightly, comparatively speaking, upon those who possess a happy home. My home has been rendered, happy not only by the possession of every domestic blessing, but also by the attachment of the population who surround me. Twenty-two years have elapsed since I first came to settle in this county, and during that period no one 4or curnstance has occurred which could tend to interrupt or impair the kindly sentiments which I desire to cherish towards my neighbours in the west of the county of Li merick. Or rather I should say that you have lost no op portunity of offering to my family and myself the most unequivocal testimonies of your affection and respect. Nor can I ever forget that I had been established at Cahermoyle little more than two months when I was called forward to represent the county of Lime rick, and that you sustained me in that position during fifteen years on terms more honourable than, rerhaps, ever subsisted between a member and his constituents. Let it not be supposed, however, that when I speak in this manner respecting the inhabitants of the county of Limerick, I am insensible to the feeling which has been manifested towards me elsewhere. Seldom have I met an intelligent foreigner who has nct sympathised with the wrongs and sufferings of Ireland, or who has failed to evince his regard for me when he learned that I was an exile, because I had striven to ward off those suffer ings and those wrongs. For the same reason my name has been mentioned with honour in the colonies and in America, where the Irish settlers cherish towards Ire land feelings more intensely national than those which at present prevail in this country. I may add, I trust without arrogance, that notwithstanding all that has bes.n done to eradicate the sentiment of Irish patriotism, I have reason to believe that if I had given notice that I should arrive in Dublin on the seventh anniversary of my transportation—the 9th of July—l should have been greeted with as large a " monster meeting" as ever was assembled within the precincts of the metropolis ; and that scarcely a week had elapsed after my arrival when I was offered the representation of the county of Tip perary by a body which acts as the organ of a majority of the freeholders of that county, and who, I have no doubt, would have been able to give effect to their choice in case I had acceded to their request. I have been in formed, also, that the electors of my native county, Clare, are desirous that I should occupy the vacancy which will probably arise at the next election by the retirement of one of the present members. These manifestations of opinion I attribute not to my own merits, nor even to entire c incurrence with my political views, but to the generous nature of the Irish people. They would re proach themselves, even if they did not fear the reproach of other nations, if they were to exhibit coldness or in difference towards those who suffer in an attempt to save them. My determination to stand aloof from the Bri tish Parliament continues unaltered. You kindly allude to the probability that my son may hereafter represent the county of Limerick ; at present he is under age, and will be occupied for several years with the studies neces sary to fit him for the bar, to which profession he is des tined. If be prove his capacity for public affairs by successful exertion in his profession, I will not dissuade liim from adopting whatever career he may consider most useful to his country. In the meantime, I am happy to inform yuu that I place unlimited confidence in his devotion to Ireland. For myself, many considerations of a domestic kind would at present r, niter me reluctant to pass six months out of every year in London ; but these considerations might per haps hereafter be overruled, if I were not convinced that my time can be not only more happily but also more profitably spent in my native land. I have no desire again to waste night after night in witnessing or taking part in the discusi4n of questions relating to Ireland which are to be determined by the votes of English and Scotch members, who feel no concern about them, and who often do not even take the trouble to attend the discussion, but simply vote• as they are directed by the leaders of the English Parliamentary party. Nor shall I conceal from . you that my sentiments respecting the interests of this country are not in harmony with those which at present prevail amongst the influential classes in Ireland. When in 1843 I avowed myself to be fully convinced that the only effectual guarantee for the per manent welfare of our country is to be found in the restoration of its legielature, I did not profess this con viction only as a means of extorting secondary advan tages of either a personal or a national kind for the in habitants of Ireland. I adopted it as a stern reality, the furtherance of which would probably for several years require many personal sacrifices on the part of those who became the champions of their country's rights, and which specially demanded an entire separa tion from all connection with English Governments and English parties. Within the short space of ten years I have Eeen almost every man who was a prominent leader in the repeal agitation (except those who were driven inro exile) become a stipendiary or a supporter of the British Government. I have no desire to impugn the motives or conduct of any man, a change cf circum ..tences sometimes justifies changes of opinions ; and I always prefer to impute even to doubtful actions hon ourable a ht stances n s c e o oe changes o—nbebelyeund thee s t a ho n oa c tn t i s o mt i n ty e n d oo —a c :n some in (nimble rather th an b ase mot i ves ; but when I fi nd that nt r tahogaevdo e i n e i s on of s a l r r e e 1 aottudt, of date, and that Irish patriotism no longer means what it appeared to me at Ta ra i n the year 1843. Let me not ' be misunder s t oo d. I never maintained, nor do I to de n r s seek separation -1 now maintain, that it i s th e d u t 3 o f Irish patriotsle separation from Engl an d by forcible means. .lin probable circumstan ce s w h en i n 18 43 th i s country was reduced by misgovernment to a condition more abject than any that it had known, even in the worst period of its disastrous history, and when we were deprived of all constitutional methods of redress, by the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, I thought, and I still think, that if we had been supported by the Irish nation in the struggle which we commenced, we should have been able to secure fur Irelan d, wit hin a few months, or perhaps a few weeks, the inestimable blessing of self govern men t. A few years' residence in Belgium, which, during the last 25 years, has been one of the best regulated nations of Europe, has confirmed me in the conviction that a Gov;:rninent founded on a successful revolution may be come the most stable of all governments. Eut it is vain to speculate upon what might have happened if we had succeeded in 1848 in establishing the national or legis lative independence of Ireland. Fate decided against us, and since the occasion required a victim, I rejoice that I, who was mainly responsible for the abortive movement, became one of the chief victims, rather than that others should have suffered—many of whom followed the path of danger in conse queue of the implicit confidence which factures or of opium, from India. The exportation of English goods, however, to China during the last three years has averaged only about 1,300,0001., and therefore not falling off in this item could be of any moment, and the utmost amount of the dimi nution in their consumption of opium would pro bably not exceed 1,000,0001. Hence it is upon the silk payments that the gravity of the case depends. This fact at once throws light upon the assertion that England can sustain no appreciable injury from the movements about to take place. To France it must be a point of anxiety whether the manufac turers of Lyons obtain their staple from their own growers or are compelled to buy the produce of China, but England does not grow silk, and therefore has always to pay for what she consumes. There is no reason to assume that this year she will take, either in quantity or value, more than her regular amount. Indeed, according to the laws that com monly regulate such matters, the augmentation in price is likely in a more than equivalent degree to check consumption. The excess that arrives will consequently be shipped to foreign countries, and in its effect on the exchanges will operate as if, in stead of silk, wo had received so much bullion. But although every dollar we are now parting , with will this ultimately be repaid with the addi tion of some considerable profit for our services as carriers, insurers, and agents, there can he no doubt that the withdrawal of specie which must be sub mitted to in the intervening period is calculated to contract our circulation, and perhaps occasion even an increase of the pressure now regarded with dis appointment. The opinion of some of the leading East India houses in London is that in the twelve months from July 1856 to July 1857 a total of 8,000,0001. will have to be paid to China and India in excess of that which was paid in the preceding 12 months. This calculation may be too high, but it is as well to assume its correctness. They reckon an increase of 5,000,0001. in the value and quantity of silk, a reduction of 1,001,0i0/. in the value and quantity of the opium to be supplied from India to China, and a limitation of the drawings of the India House upon the territorial revenues to 2,000,0001. below the usual amount. In this way there is 5,000,0001. more to pay and 3,000,0001. less to receive, and a consequent alteration of 8,000,0001. in our relative position. Such a sum, added to 10,000,000/. or more, which was the amount taken from us in the 12 months to July last, would make a serious aggre gate to be provided in the ensuing season. There are, however, a number of counteracting circum stances already coming into play which will alter the prospect. In the first place there is no reason to suppose that the imports of produce from India will this year approach their previous total. It is believed that 4,000,0001. or 5,000,0001. may be struck off, including 1,000,0001. for rice and 2,000,0001. or 3,000,0001. for seeds, &c. It is also to be q ues ti one d if t h e India louse.will be able to limit their drawings to the amount con templated. They require between 3,000,0001. and 4,000,0001. for their disbursements in England, but. hesitate to draw it lest they should compel the local Government to resort to a 5 percent. loan. To this, however, they must probably come at last, and they w ill, perhaps, recogni se th e necess i ty for it, instead of continuing the palliative of trusting to their railway funds. In this way the extra amount required may be reduced from 8,000,0001. to 2,000,0001. without taking into account the possibility of an increased consumption of opium or of European goods being yet witnessed in China, when the silver, lately de spatched thither shall have had time to create an effect. It is only recently that the quantities sent to that country have been so enormous, and, not withstanding the war and the hoarding propensi ties of the people, it is reasonable to expect that their newly-acquired wealth will not be entirely buried. Estimating, however, that a total of 12,000,0001. will be required during the 12 months ending July next, the limits of the inconvenience we are likely to sustain may be easily comprehended. In 1855, the worst year of the war, we parted with nearly 5,000,0001. to the same region, without much trouble, and in the first eight or nine months of this year we have already sent away more than 8,000,0001. Meanwhile the results are manifesting themselves in the increasing arrival of valuable cargoes, which must tend to keep us in an excel lent position, not only with the Continent, but with America. Supposing our European relations to involve no drain, the Australian gold arrivals alone would enable us to buy silver to meet the whole demand for the East, even apart from the Mexican supplies, while the California r ece ipt s v i a New York or the Isthmus would rem a i n t o swe ll existing SterAs. This result, however, even i n a partial degree—for there must always, as London is the banking centre of the world, beot nboora u o naero e u a s p p p ay a: merits to the Continent —may n rent for some time, because in addition to the For several years Mr. Scargill was engaged along with other classical scholars, including Mr. George Burgess, Dr. Maj )r, E. H. Barker. &c,, in editing, revising, or translating as required, the works issued by Mr. A. J. Va:py. Among these I may mention the " Delphin C'as-ies," "Schrevelius's Greek Lexicon," the Latin interpretations of which were rendered into Eng lish ; " Robertson's Latin Phrase Book," and many other works of scholastic He was also the author of many novels and tales, which are in good repute. Witness "Trucklebor , ugh Hall," "Rank and Talent," " Provincial Sketches," "Trials and Triumphs," "Light in Darkness," "Atherton," "The Usurer's Daughter," "The Puritan's Grave," &c. He was on the staff of the Atlas; and contributed to Blackwood, the New Monthly, &c., and wrote occasionally for the Atherumn. He was the personal friend of the late Mr. Barnes of the Times. After his death his widow collected and published, in 2 vois., sketches and essays by him, under the title of the " Widow's Offering." In proof of Mr. Scargill's recognised position in the literary world, when on his delth bed, and without any application on her part, Mrs. Scargill received from the Royal Literary Fund, 30/. ; no sooner was his death known than 201. more was forwarded to her, voluntarily, from the sane institution. When Mrs. Scargill first sent in her claim for a pen sion, that claim was recognised by Sir Robert Peel, the First Lord of the Treasury ; and in token of that recog nition, he sent her a donation from the Royal Bounty Fund. The Earl of Derby and the present Premier responded in like manner from the same source ; and so late as within the last fourteen months, Lord Palmer ston, to use his own words in a letter to a member of the House of Commons, "made a note of her case for future consideration." Sir, I have no personal interest in Mrs. Scargill. I simply addre-s myself to you in regard to her on public grounds. Till recently, I was not acquainted with her, or with her case. lam very unwilling to make any comments on the manner in which the pension money, ostensibly set apart for the encouragement of literature, science, and art, is applied ; but at the same time it is utterly impossible fcr me to shut my eyes to the fact that of that pension money (1,2001.), from June, 1855, to June, 1856, not less than 9251. was appropriated to purposes for which it was never intended. Out of it the three eldest daughters of that distinguished warrior, Lieutenant-General Cathcart, receive 1001. per annum each. In the name of all that is consistent, why should these ladies be quartered on this portion of the civil list ? What has literature, science, and art, to do with those who shed their blood at [nkerman, at Alma, and in the brilliant charge of the Cavalry Light Brigade? In the name of right reason and of common sense, if so paltry a sum as 1,2001. a-year is all that is to be set apart from the public funds for encouragement to litera ture, science, and art, while thousands, and tens of thousands, can be found for purposes of a far less benefi cial description, let it at least be confined to the objects which it has in view, and let it not be squandered on purposes which are not in any degree connected with it.—l am, &c., JOIIN MARSHALL. Windsor, Sept. 16. The CHAIRMAN said he thought that a wise course had been adopted. It did not surprise him to hear a diversity of opinion expressed on the position of the company, but he did not despair of the prosperity of the undertaking. He felt that the Canadian Legislature would afford the shareholders the relief they required, sod it would be impolitic for them to reject the act that had been passed. It was not the way to get relief to refuse that which had been given. It was absolutely necessary that funds should be raised to meet the exi gencies of the company ; and, under these circumstances, the directors were compelled to recommend to the sanc tion of the shareholders an increase of the capital of the company to the amount of 500,000/. This amount they suggested should be raised by the creation of deben tures. It would be seen by their accounts that they had no surplus in hand, and it was imperative that the sum he had mentioned should be raised, in order to meet the sum that would have to be provided before the Ist of January for interest. Under all the circum stances he thought the best course to adopt was to raise the 500,0001. on bonds, to come in for payment after the other bonds already issued. He assured the meet ing that everything that was possible was being done to put the company in a good position. Mr. CLARK believed that nothing but mismanagement had placed the company in the position they at present occupied, and he thought that the appointment of a com mittee, and the adjournment of the present meeting for a few days, would be the best thing that could be done at present. 3. 4r. WEGTIILIN entered at some length into the diffi culties that had beset the operations of the undertaking, but he did not think there was any cause for despon dency as to the ultimate prosperity of the company. The Hon. Mr. Ross explained the different points in the report that had been alluded to, and said he should feel great pleasure in answering any questions that might be put to him. A SHA.REHOLDER begged to ask why Mr. Liddell's proposition for the Victoria-bridge was not carried out ? Mr. Ross said he would answer the question in a few words, namely, he did not think that the present was a fit or proper place to entev into a scientific discussion. (Hear, hear, and "Oh, oh.") A SHAREHOLDER asked when the bridge, with the present expectations, would be completed I Mr. Ross—lf no unforeseen obstacles should occur, the bridge would be finished in 1860. Mr. DOUGLAS was about to address the meeting, when Mr. GLYNN rose to a point of order—he wished to know whether Mr. Douglas, he being only a bond holder, could address the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said he was legally informed that Mr. Douglas could not address the meeting. A. discussion on the point arose, but it was ultimately decided that Mr. Douglas had not the power to speak. Mr. CLARK said he believed the time had arrived at which they ought to move the adjournment of the meet ing. He begged, therefore, to move that the present meeting be adjourned for a fortnight. The motion having been seconded, it was put to the meeting and negatived, as was also another proposition that an adjournment take place for a month. Mr. CAMERON, a member of the Canadian Legislature, stated that he had great confidence in the ultimate suc cess of the undertaking, and advised the shareholders not to depreciate or sell their sock. He did not think they would get the per cent., as the original pros pectus set forth ; but he thought that they would get 5 or 6. In order to secure this it would be absolutely ne cessary to alter their present system of management. He thought it would be desirable, in order to secure the prosperity of the undertaking, to have one or two gen tlemen, in whom they had confidence, in Canada, as managing directors, having seats at the board, and also possessing the power to receive and use proxies. This plan had been conceded by the Legislature to the Great Western Railway, and he had net the slightest doubt that the same concession would be made to the Grand Trunk Railway. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman having given a very exee!lenc description of their property in Canada, concluded by coffin , ' upon the sharehol ders not to lose heart in the undertaking, and assured the meeting that the Canadian people would fulfil ail their promises to the very letter. Sir A. M‘Nan entirely concurred in the observations of Mr. Cameron. The CHAIRMAN said that the following passage in the report would show what was the feeling of the directors as to the proposed alteration in the constitution of the London Board :—" The serious attention of the Lond , n Board has been drawn to the existing constitution of the direction, divided as it now is into two sections, sitting in Canada and in London. The functions of the latter body are very limited, and while they appear to impose responsi bility, do not afford any power of effectual control. It may be absolutelynecessarytbat the English shareholders should be more effectually represented at the Canadaßoard, and that the representative should be invested with power to act for their interests there. The directors are informed that it is the intention of the Canadian Government to propose to Parliament an alteration in the constitution of the board by withdrawing their directors and substituting a commissioner unconnected with the Executive Govern ment." He thought, that being the case, it would be unfair to fetter the directors by passing any resolu tion on the subject. In reply to a Shareholder, The CHAIRMAN said the directors were desirous to act in harmony with the Great Western Railway of Canada, if possible. It was not true that any difference existed between them. The motion for the adoption of the report was then put from the chair and agreed to unanimously. The following are the resolutions which are to be sub mitted to the general meeting to be held during the pre sent autumn in Canada : " That the company accept the act of the last session of the Provincial Parliament of Canada, leaving the directors to urge such modifications upon the Government of Canada as they consider expedient. "That the sum of two millions of preferential capital, authorised by the said act, be raised by the issue thereun der of preferential bonds of the company to that amount, each bond to be for DO/. sterling, and to bear interest at six per cent., and to be repayable in 25 years, such bonds to be offered, in the first instance, to the shareholders in proportion to their respective shares, and any not taken up by the shareholders to be sold by the directors in such manner and at such prices as they shall from time to time determine. "That the additional agreement with the English con tractors, and the further agreement with the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railway Company, under which additional shares of that company to the extent of 140,9381. 17s. id., have been issued to this company, be and the same are hereby approved. " That the resolution of the directors dated the 20th day of Auc , ust, 1856, for increasing under the authority of the Grand Railway Act, 1854, the capital of the thecom e p o a m ny pa b n y y, the sum of 50 0 , 0001 ., be, and the same i hereby approved, and that the directors be, and they are y s , t er t l o i n bge, and c alle b d ea C r Bonds, and th a t interest at th e ra t e o f 61. p er cent., and be repayable in 25 hereby authori se d t o raise that sum, or so much thereof as b t y e b a o c n h d b s o o n f d be may b© re qu i re d f rom ti me to time for the purposes of the f o c r o l m o p o a l. n years, and that such bonds be issued by the directors upon such terms and conditions, and at such premium or dis count, and to such persons as they shall, from time to time, direct and determine." The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. Dividend Amount 1 to Name of Company. per of Paid. Price. I Od Annum. , Share.

P. Andrews, E- q . (AN SW= ) SHELBURNE. August 26, 1856. My Lord,—l have the honour to Acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th inst., requesting me to communicate for the information of the Earl of Clarendon precise statements and particulars regarding the Euphrates Valley Railway Company, to enable his lordship to give instructions to Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe to support Major-General Chesney on his mission to Constantinople, as the representative of the Euphrates Valley Railway Company. 2. In reply, I beg to state the objects contemplated by this company are shortly as follows :- 3. This company is established to connect the Medi terranean and the Persian Gulf by a railway from the ancient port of Seleucia by Antioch and Aleppo, to Jaber Castle on the Euphrates, of 80 miles in length, and afterwards from thence by other towns to Bagdad, and on the head of the Persian Gulf. Thence by steamers communication will be established with all parts of India. 4. The effect of the proposed contract to be entered into between the sublime Porte and this company will be, that the Ottoman Government guarantee a minimum dividend on the capital required at 6 per cent. per an num for 99 years, with power to raise capital for steamers, at a rate to be hereafter mentioned. 5. The Ottoman Government grant a lease of the land necessary for the railway and works for 99 years, free of charge. _ 6. - On the opening of the line, all nett profits exceed ing the rate of dividend guaranteed, are to go to the Ottoman Government, in liquidation of the dividends they have advanced. When this advance is repaid the entire surplus goes to the shareholders. 7. At the expiration of 99 years the land with th• railway and works pertaining thereto will become the property of the Ottoman Government, who will at the same time purchase the rolling stock at a valuation to be settled by arbitration. 8.
