Admission, One SHOCKING CASE' OF CHILD POISONING. The greatest excitement has prevailed at Runcorn, a small port above Liverpool, during the past few days.. owing to the mysterious proceedings attending the death and burial of a female child aged nine days, daughter of Elizabeth and Thomas Brennan, a pedlar living in Nel son-street, Runcorn. The child was in good health on the afternoon of the Ist inst., was taken ill, and died that night. The day after its death the patents and a young man named Patrick Frain, who lodged with them, bought an old soap box, with the ostensible purpose of making a rabbit-box. Tile same night the father went to the sexton, told him that his daughter had died, and requested permission to bury it without any "fuss." The sexton consented on the man promising to bring the registrar's certificate the next merning. The child was buried in the old soap-box that night, and , the father having by subterfuge obtained the registrar's certificate gave it to the sexton. ..The suspicious circumstances came to the ears of the chief constable, the body was ex humed by order of the coroner, and the appearance of the mouth, throat, and stomach suggesting the suspi• cion that death bad been caused by sulphuric acid, or tome other deadly poison, the three suspected persons were taken into custody. An inquest was held, which after ajoarnment terminated on Monday. Elizabeth Reece stated that she nursed the child up to the 30,b tilt., returning it to its mother in perfect health. On the afternoon of that day, having occasion to go into Brennaa'a house, she saw the child struggling and kicking on its mother's knee, blowing from its mouth, and apparently scarcely able to breathe. Hearing on the following day that the child was dead, she went to inquire, but the mother said the child was asleep. The mother locked the door of the room in which the child was said to be sleeping, and, giving the key to a boy, went out with her husband and Frain. In thei r absence the boy unlocked the door, and witness went into the room and found the child dead, and naked, with a window-blind thrown across it and a cloth over its mouth and chin. Dr. Edwards, of :Birkenhead, pro fessor of chemistry, deposed that ho made a post mortem examination of the stomach, intestines, and soft organs of the deceased. The ce3ophagus, or gullet, and upper portions of the stomach were deeply furrowed by the action of a corrosive liquid, which had destroyed the mucous membrane, corroded the tissues, and entirely dissolved a portion of the stomach. The smaller blood vessels were blackened and charred, and in the large intestines black patches occurred, which, when placed on test paper, gave strongly acid reaction. He analysed the contents of the stomach and detected the presence of sulphuric acid, which was consistent only with the ad ministration of the concentrated sulphuric acid known as oil of vitriol. Mr. H. Wilson, surgeon, Runcorn, had made a post mortem examination, and from what he had seen, and after the result of Dr. Edwards's ana lysis, he was satisfied that death had been caused by the administration of sulphuric acid. From the extensive destruction of the stomach he imagined that as much as 40 drops had been given. The jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the three prisoners, who were committed for trial. HIGH- TIDE AND .DAMAGE TO SEIPPING. Yesterday !,.torning, at half past one o'clock, it blew a gale on the river below bridge, and there was a strong tide runninr:. Four vessels, named the John and Eliza beth, Na,,,les packet, Northumberland, and Lavinia and Mary, lying at Irving and Cooper's coal wharf, Wapping, broke from their moorings, and did considerable damage. They drove up the river, breaking adrift, and bringing with them the barges and platform composing the tun nel pier, and a great number of other craft, some laden with valuable merchandise and some empty, and nearly the whole of them drove athwart the Aberdeen steam ship lying off the Thames police-station. There was a tremendous crash, and the ships and barges were forced on shore. One of the protection piles at the Thames Police causeway was torn down, and a Thames Police galley swamped and nearly destroyed. One of the ves sels was sunk, but was subsequently raised and will have to go into dry dock for extensive repairs. Several cholvliasliuon withablethe steame r , an d a l ug: - ca rgoes were su n k b y t h e v boat belonging to Mr. C. Hinds, lighterman, of Wap pinb iaorlgeg, e n s e ewas laden of f • t o tally destroyed, with a cargo of guano valued th w e it at 60 guineas. A man 7,s crushed and killed, and a boat containing barrels ot - beer, bel ong i ng to :Kr. Rice, disappeared under water, and has not been recovered. Yesterday was the hig'oest tide alon g th e north shore of Southampton Water •that has been known for many years. The wind had been blowing hard f or several hours from the south west. The gardens at Blechynden terrace, inside the Dorchester Railway, were in un d ated, and considerable damage do ne. At Redbridge, at the too of Southampton Water, the roads became flooded and impassable. At&ortharn, a shipbuil ding village on the river Itchin, about a mile from Southampton, the high tide did con siderable damage. The shipbuilding yards, streets, and meadows were overflowed. A ship was floated off the stocks, and a man and woman in a travelling caravan were nearly drowned. 'Workmen were obliged to walk home up to their middles in water.

Nevertheless, being well acquainted with the circumstances of the case, I cannot forbear saying a few words respecting the yacht affair—a question which, I must admit, his Lordship seems willing enough to discuss. At the time Lord Cardigan took up his quarters on board the Dryad, R.Y.S., the brigad e w hi c h h e commanded was stationed on the heights before Sebastopol, seven and a-half miles from their leader. So imminent was the danger of an attack from the Russians on our weakened army that when the question a rose whether it was better to allow the Light Brigad e t o per i s h fr o m starvation on the heights or p erm it a port i on o f th e m to go dow n daily and f e t c h up f oo d f or t h e rema i n d er Lord. Cardigan decided that not a man or horse could be spared from the front, and that they must starvo gnonfr his Lord s hip' s own pen that ho visited his brigade on the heights ;one on on board ship to and die—as they did — w h ere th ey were p os ted. And having c ome to th i s stern d ec i s i on L or d Cardigan rode down to B a l a ki ava an d wen t corn comfortably to bed on b oar d th e D r y a d, R.Y.S. His Lordship says he did thi s b ecause h e was no t well, and that he did it with Lord R ag lan's sanction and approval. If h e was no t we ll, h e might have done as Sir Do Lacy Evans an d o th e r officers did—handed his brigade over t o some recruit bu officer r it w ; how t " almost every day, and sometimes twice a-day," it would not appear that an illness which allowed him to side on Crimean roads in November, 1854, from 15 to 30 miles a-day, could have been very a w s he well, el we h andle learn serious. Moreover, other officers were not allowed to plead illness unless their plea was confirmed by a Medical Board ; we hear of no such board hav ing reported on Lord Cardigan. If Lord Raglan really allowed Lord Cardigan to retain at such a moment the command of a brigade on the heights while he slept seven and a-half miles away on board his yacht every night, it is indeed a grievous stain on the Commander-in- Chief's character, but it in no way exonerates Lord Cardigan, who ought to have known as well as Lord Raglan what a soldier's duty at such a time was.

RUSSIAN SrEAIII BOAT AND TRADING COM PA NY. Advices from St. Petersburg furnish full particu lars of the Russian scheme for establishing steam lines in the Black Sea and elsewhere. The statutes of the association upon which the privileges are con ferred were dated the 3d of August, and its title is to be the Russian Steamboat and Trading Company. The coMmunications to be formed are : 1. Between Odessa, Constantinople, Athens Smyrna, Rhodes, Alexandretta, Beyrout, Jaffa, and Alexandria ; three times a-month. 2. Between Odessa, Yalta, Redout Kaleh, and Kertch, three times a-month. * 3. Between Odessa and Galatz, calling, if expedient, at Sulina, Ismail, Reni, and other ports up the Danube ; every week. 4. Between Odessa, Eupatoria, Sebastopol, Yalta, Theodusia, and Kertch every week. b. Between Odessa, Kinbourn, Oschakoff, Nicolaieff, and higher up the Bong if necessary ; every week. 6. Between Odessa, Kinburn, O,chakoff, and Cherson, and higher up the Dnieper if necessary; every week. 7. Between Kertch, Marioupol, Berdiansk, Eisk, and Taganrog ; every week. 8. Between Kertch and Tamar ; as cften each day as necessary. 9. Between Ovidiopol and Akermann, along the Liman of the Dniester; as often daily as necessary. 10. Between Odessa, Constantinople, the islands of Syra, Pincus, Messina, Naples, Leghorn, Genoa, and Marseilles ; about 18 trips annually. 11. Between Odessa, Constantinople, the islands of Syra, Zante, Cephalonia, and Curlu ; Bari, Ancona, and Trieste ; ithout 18 trips annually. The above lines are to be opened by degrees, but in five years the whole must be in regular opera tion. The company aro also to have the right of establishing steam tugs on the Dnieper, Bong, and Don, and on the seaboard. They may likewise open an insurance department for the insurance of any merchandise conveyed by their own vessels. The steamers hitherto employed by the Government in keeping up postal and commercial communica tions are to be taken by the company at a valuation, the amount to be paid in five annual instalments without interest. Any unoccupied Government lands that may be required for wharves, quay; warehouses, &,0., are to be granted rent free. Schools may also be established for the education of pilots, engineers, and mechanics. The company are to ran as belonging to the first guild, and are to receive the following extraordinary rates of subsidy : Between Odessa, Constantinople, Athens, Smyrna, Rhodes, Alexandretta, Beyrout, Joppa, and Alexandria, 5 s. r. 22 cop. per or about 16s. 7d. sterling. Between Odessa, Yalta, Redout Kaleh, and Kertch, 4 s. r. 56 cop. Between Odessa and Galatz, 4 s. r. 34 cop, Between Odessa, Eupaturia, Sebastopol, Theodosia, and Kertch, 3 s. r. 25 cop. Betwem Odessa, Kinburn, Oechakcff, and Nicolaieff, 3s. r. 63 cop. Between Odessa, Kinburn, Oschakoff, and Cherson, 3 s. r. cop. It would be well, too, that Lord Cardigan should explain how it came to pass that he sought Lord Raglan's approval at all. Lord Lucan was his im mediate commanding officer, and it was Barely irregular that such a matter should be settled between the officer second in command of the cavalry and the Commauder-in-Chief, passing over the General officer in command of the whole cavalry, who, himself at his post with his officers and men, must have been much embarrassed at having to look for his second in command in bed afloat. Lord Lucan has recently published his " Divi• sional Orders and Correspondence while in com mand of the Cavalry in the Crimea,".and among the correspondence will be found a letter from his Lordship to Lord Cardigan, forbidding him to harass the unhappy division which he commanded by compelling them, at a time when he would not allow them to come down to Balaklava for provi sions, to furnish a supply of orderlies to convey messages to and fro between his yacht and his bri gade, each trip covering 15 miles. I can assure Lord Cardigan that the idea of the Inspector-General of the British Cavalry gravely maintaining the propriety of his residence on board his yacht during the worst part of the crisis of 1854, while he was in command of a brigade of cavalry stationed and starving some seven and a-half miles off, close to the enemy, and expecting momentarily an attack, affords much merriment in foreign military circles, and brings many a blush of shame to the cheeks of Englishmen who hear what foreign officers say of it. Between . Kerte!), Marioupol, Berdiansk, Eisk, and Taganrog, 2 s. r. 501- cop. Between Odesea and Marseilles 3s.r. 49 cop. Between Odessa and Trieste, 4 s. r. 74 cup. These payments are to continue for 10 years. At the expiration of that period they are to be reduced 5 percent. per annum for 10 years, so that at the end of 20 years they will amount to 50 per cent. of the original sum. In all except unavoidable cases the company are to pay a fine of 12 s. r. for every hour's delay in starting, and of 1,000 s. r. for touch ' ing at ports out of their course. In addition to the subsidy the Government are to pay 61,000 s. r. annually for 20 years for repair of the steamers, and the company are likewise to have an exclusive grant of anthracite coal mines on the banks of the Don. All military and civil governors and Russian Consuls abroad are to give them their highest sup port and protection. Tee capital of the company at the commencement is to be 6,000,000 s. r. (about 1,000,0001. sterling), in 20,000 shares of 300 s. r. each, of which half is to be paid up at once. Sub sequently it may be raised to 9,000,000 s. r. As a further special encouragement the Government subscribe for one-third of the original shares, and forego all dividend on them for the first five years. Great part of the business of the company being coasting trade, in which, by the existing laws, fo reigners are not allowed to participate, none but Russian subjects are to be permitted to become shareholders. Upon the organisation of the com pany being completed they are to commence ope rations forthwith, by the purchase of steamers and other necessary arrangements. During the first year the head office is to be at St. Petersburg, but it may afterwards be transferred to Odessa. The founders, MM. Nicholas Arkas, captain of the first rank andflugel-adjutant, and Nicholas Novoselsky, councillor in the civil service, are to receive 1,000 s. r. (1661.) per month, and at the end of five years a grant of 330 shares each from the Government. The business of the company, it is stated, is to be transacted " upon a commercial footing." No term is fixed for its duration, and it can be wound up only by a decision of a majority of shareholders holding three-fourths of the capital. The permanent board will consist of six directors, of whom two are to be nominated by the Government. The main objects of the undertaking are obviously to create under the show of a commercial company large fleets of Government ships and transports in the neutral waters of the Black Sea, and at the same time by high bounties to prevent foreign com petition on equal terms, and thus to keep the whole traffic of that region in Russian hands or under Russian surveillance. * If expedient and practicable this line will be hereafter changed to a communication between Odessa, Yalta, Kertch, Rodout Kaleh, and further on to the ports of the Anatolian coast, as far as Constantinople, to meet and ex change passengers and cargoes with the steamers of a new line of communication which in that case will be formed between Odessa, Galatz, and further on between the ports on the Roumelian coast as far as Constantinople. ± It is believed nautical miles are intended. Advices from St. Petersburg mention that, although the rate of exchange is nearly at a point to attract gold from this country, none is for the moment expected. In a short time there will be less probability of its trans mission, since the steamers will cease to run, and there will be only the expensive overland medium. ENGLISH DEAD LETTERS IN THE UNITED STATES. — The number of "dead letters" from foreign countries that have accumulated in the post-offices in the United States during the past three months is very large, em bracing 150,000 from England,7,soo from Canada, 5,374 . from Cologne, 2,617 from Bremen, 439 from Nova Scotia, and 619 from New Brunswick. These letters will be returned by the Asia. Every means were used to have them delivered to the persons to whom they were addressed, but without success, and this is probably in a great measure owing to the fact that the majority of emigrants, immediately on landing, make their way ample theirle provision to the Western States and terr itories.—New York Pa p er.

The following narrative of a scene in the railway cars in the State of Georgia, in the United States of America, is from an eye-witness : " We left Macon, Georgia, at 5 p.m. of the 28th of August last, in the train for Augusta, Georgia. The train was composed cf two cars, the first for the mail and lug gage, with a few seats for smokers, the last for passengers ; in this car there were about 25 persons (the narrator being one), of whom three were women. Of these three one was an elderly person, travelling alone: sbe went through to Augusta, and never 'stirred or spoke all the way; of the other two, who were well-dressed and respectable-looking, one appeared to be near 30 and the other about 20 years of age. These two came in together, accompanied by a well dressed man, apparently between 25 and 30 ; he seated them immediately behind me, and took his seat alongside of me. From this proximity I could not avoid hearing their conversation, and before the train left I was made aware of some anticipated disturbance. There shortly entered another man of about the same age as the one beside me, who, after noticing and saying a few words to the two female companions, passed on and took his seat on the op posite side of the car, two benches in advance of the one I was seated on. He turned the back of the bench, so that he faced the two women and their companion. In so doing he found himself seated face to face with a tall, muscular, and hard-visaged man of about 50, of a mien by no means repulsive or disagreeable. It soon became known to me, by the conversation of the two women, that the man who had thus passed on and seated himself was the person from whom, or with whom, they feared some dis turbance. Nothing occurred, however, until some time after our departure, when the conductor came into the car to call for the tickets; in so doing he came first to thisman (or B as I will call him), who, being addressed by the con ductor, said to him twice in a loud voice, so that all the persons in the car might hear him —" Tell those two ladies opposite that I have their tickets in my pocket," which message was delivered aloud by the conductor. Tho diffi culty that existed, and the danger of some disturbance, now became publicly known, and attracted the attention of B's vis-a-vis (or C), who questioning B learnt from him, as did every one in the cars who chose to listen, that he had a quarrel with the man who had introduced the two women (or A). Then he related that he was a Frenchman, a barber and hairdresser, keeping a shop in Macon, &c. From his conversation, and the conversation of the two women behind me, I gathered that both A and B had been meeting the younger woman at balls and parties, and had been paying attentions to her. The rest is the common story of flirtation, the consequences of which are tshown in this narrative to have been terrible. A had been received and encouraged by the young woman, but had been supplanted by B, owing, as she confessed to her companion, to the superior attractions of a bag of gold B bad shown her and promised to spend for their gratification; so that this pleasure trip, which had been first proposed by A, was accepted from B, and A getting to know of it determined to mar it. How he suc ceeded will be shown in the sequel. B having explained to C and to every one in the car the cause of his quarrel with A, C asked him if he intended to fight A, for, if so, he ought to send A a challenge. B said this had already been done, and that A had B's challenge in his pocket, but had not answered it. A, being then questioned by C, answered that he refused the challenge because B had chosen swords, a weapon with which he was wholly unacquainted. He was ready to fight B, and consented that C should settle the terms with any other weapon ; thou followed a discussion about weapons, and finally C arranged the affair, so that they both: agreed to fight with guns loaded with ball, and, having ascertained that there were two guns in the cars, C proposed that they should fight it out at once, for that he would get the conductor to stop for them at a con venient place. To this proposition neither of them would listen, and would only agree to fight after their arrival next morning. Here this matter rested. All this was carried on in a loud voice. The arrangement of this duel caused an animated conversation among three or four groups about duelling and celebrated duels, and no other conversation was carried on in the car. At length, attracted by the high tone of voice, I heard ono of the dis putants, a white headed man past GO at least, but hale looking, accuse his opponent of ignorance of duelling and duels, and declare his belief that the other never saw a duel and would be afraid to face a man. Upon this the other, a respectable looking man, of about 45, rose up and challenged the old man to follow him out of the car. Then the old man, telling his son, a fine little boy about 6 years old, to wait till he came back, followed the other into the smoking car, when, after arranging the preliminaries and • making some written dispositions that occupied a quarter of an hour or so, the cars were stopped, and, after they had descended with their witnesses, the ears moved on again leaving them behind. We learnt on the way —by telegraph—that the old man was killed. After this inter lude C returned to his proposition for the immediate set. tlement of the affair between A and B, and sot before them the proceeding of the two who had gone out as the proper way to act ; but, being refused, he treated B con temptuously and bore so hard upon him that B quarrelled with him, ,and ,finally challenged him, and his challenge was immediately taken up by C. The conversation did not flag for these incidents, but was continued as loud and animated as ever on the same , subject ; at last another challenge was given iu the cars, but here the challenged refused unless the challenger could give satisfaction as to his respectability; whereupon the challenger declared that if the other did not fight he would whip him whenever he got off the car, and told him to prepare himself ; and ho die se out a pistol, which he ,'paraded about and handed to all who wished to exa mine it, as the one with which he would shoot the other. Some time afterwards the man challenged got out of the car; the challenger, who had watched Limo, and who in the meantime had got some one to accompany him as witness of the fight or fray, got out after him. We soon heard high words, oaths, and imprecations, but no report of firearms ;reached us, nor did we receive any intelli gence of this encounter. Being again under way C be came impatient to have his own duel with B settled, and insisted on B's finding a second, on pain of being treated as a coward if he did not; before this time, and after his acceptance of B's Challenge, C had been joined by another man, much younger than himself, and taller and stouter; it \vas soon clear that they were intimately con nected, for on joining company C asked him if he had the pistols, and was answered "Yes." B then consented, and found a second ; then the oars wore stopped, and B and his second and C and his companion got out. This time the conductor waited the result of the duel. B was killed ; his second and the two companions came back and got into the cars, but whether the body of B was left behind or was put in the luggage car Ido not know. It most likely wee put in there, for B's father was with him. It appeared after wards that on coming back to the cars C had offered B's father a chance of avenging his son's death if he chose, but the old man accepted his affliction. Immediately on his arrival in the cars C stood on the platform, and holding the door of the passenger car open, addressed the passengers collectively in a set speech, pleading his own justification, and praising what he called the noble and honourable in stitution of duelling, and challenging any one or every one who said aught against him. He then ended by saying, as for that young woman, the blood that had been shed lay on her head; that he had never seen her before, did not know her or care to know her, that her conduct showed her to be no better than a common strumpet, and that as such he should denounce her whenever and wherever he might afterwards meet her, and offered to fight any one who lied some pretensions to respectability who would take her part and defend her character; he then retired into the smoking car, but not before the young woman had replied in most violent language, telling him she would not s e except n rest until sh e f ound some one to kill him ; she then turned to B's fath er ( and now for the first time I perce i ved that A eu longer a the e n e e % r, ofthe but l couldthree m notix mixed account w for th his the second encounter), and, by all manner of entreaties, persuasions, representations, and even threats of public sneers, prevailed upon him to take her part, though he loudly declared to her that it was going to certain death. He then stepped forward towards the platform of the car, where C's companion, at his request, had been constantly hurling out a defiance to this young woman, and offered him se lf ; but C, on receiving • this offer, sent his companion back to refuse him, saying that he, the father, was a coward, for that he had refused satisfaction when it was offered to him in a better might live and di e a coward. The cause °l4 hg to hurl at C' s defiance, se- "11)-; --„e- ; - 4 then con to take a little wa t er t o el - -opping only for breath or d e fi ance was in th.l., „•''ar hie throat o f h oarseness ; the another man an d ' "semeing words —" Let her bring change ef . c• ne will kill him ;" this was varied by will r and now and then he added, " He 4 . -et murder him ; he'll give him a fair chance." After one refusal of C to accept B's father, the young woman ad dressed her companion, and tried to persuade her to join in an appeal to the passengers. This address was made so audibly that it was plainly intended as a direct appeal to us. Her companion refused, and prayed of her to desist ; but, as she would not, her companion got; out at the next stopping place to return to havannob, w.bere she resided, and left the young woman without &eying " Good bye." After this the young woman begged of B's father to appeal to us, always so that we might hear her and anticipate a direct appeal- He persuaded her, howcvel that the appeal would come best from bereelf t Ilu, ms' declared that she did not feel able to express her self,be-mote out an a dd ress and handed it t o her. He te brought' her forward int o the Middle 0 the car and ek ---- lifted up #404 lux the paper to read it, but, after two or three ineffectual at tempts to articulate, overcome by rage, pride, or shame, she gave it up and sat down. The defiance was still cried out, but at longer intervals. Shortly after this we arrived at a station where there were refreshments, end nearly all the passengers got out. Here, before the train started again, a young man of 25 or uudea-, who all the way from Macon had been seated in the smoking car, came into the passenger car, and as he entered he recognised and accosted the young woman ; and, after being made acquainted by her with the insult and defiance to her, he at once offered to take her part, and was joyfully accepted. This young man's father was also in the cars. No sooner, then, were the cars fairly under way then she sent the young man into the smoking car, and the duel between him and C was speedily arranged ; but as the train was much behind time the conductor refused to stop, and it was therefore agreed to fight in the smoking car. They fought with Monte Christ() pistols, or pistols that.make no report, for, after a few moments of breathless silence, nothing was heard but the young man's death cry. About this time the little boy, son of the old man who was first killed, awoke, and the young woman took hint with her into the private room that is in the corner of all passenger cars in that country upon a line, and there she divulged to him the secret of his father's death, and pointed out C as havinghilled him. Being on the seat next the room, with my head against the wooden partition, I heard enough of her story to know what she told him. The cries and lamentations of the child were most distressing, and in the midst of them he kept callingCthe murderer of his father, and also of his mother, who, he said, would the, and declaring that he would de nounce him when he got to Augusta, and would tell his parents, who, he was sure, would atl avenge qvu h oi i re s t f e a ta t h h te e o r ' b s o d y e ;a explaint hhe. This continued so long that it r o us e d the anger of 0, wh o sent his companion to undecei ve and went, therefore, tp the boy, to him that C had nothing to do with his father's death, but that the woman herself was the cause of it. H e t o ld his story fairly, but it did not pacify the shild, who either did not understand him or did not believe him, for he re doubled his cries and repeated his threats, whereupon the man took the boy from the woman, and carried him upon the platform of the car, and there he threatened to kill him if he did not hush and keep quiet. It was thought he did this to frighten the boy, but the woman, who could see them from her position, cried out in a tone of alarm that the man was in earnest, for the boy would not cease. At length came a cry from the child of " Save me, save me,' when a tall middle-aged man, who till u t p hs , i am t i i , m th e had remained ehdisstcillelaakn, and had not g," spoken, livillsav l e ° t ' l e ie child," stepped forward to the platform, where, in an impressive tone and speech, ho expostulated with the man and prevailed upon him to deliver up the boy. He then took the boy and car ried him back, and gave him to the woman in the small room. For a short time there was silence, but soon the cries and threats of the boy were recommenced, then C's companion, who had retired into the smoking car, came out, went into the small room, snatched the boy from the woman, carried him on to the platform, deliberately mur dered him, and threw the body off from the car ; the sud den silence of the child, the sound of his body falling down, had such an effect upon use that, so soon as my mind could realise the murder as a fact, I became unconscious; in which state I remained, perhaps, 10 minutes; for when I returned to a clear perception of things I found the cars were stopped, and, on inquiry, I learnt that B's father and the stranger who had saved the child at first had chal lenged and gone out to fight with C and his companion, and that the conductor had stopped the train for that purpose, and was waiting the result. C and his companion alone came back; the other two were killed; but here an inci dent occurred, that, no doubt, saved further bloodshed. As soon as C stepped into the car the conductor started the train, and it went off so rapidly that his companion, who was a little way behind, could not catch it, though he was so near that I could hear his footsteps ; when he found he was being left ho ceased running, and called out as loud as ho could to stop ; C also joined in the cry, but, seeing the conductor paid no attention to these cries, he rushed for ward with the intention of stopping the engine himself, but now the conductor and his men interfered, and as he was climbing over the tender they seized and secured him, and shut him up in a room. It was now near 3 a.m., of the 29th, and about half-an-hour afterwards we arrived in Augusta. I have thus given as plain a narrative, and as short, as I possibly can. I know none of the parties by name, nor any of my fellow•passengers, and this is not surprising, for family names are seldom used when travelling in that country. Neither have I seen any account of this affair in the Georgia papers, so that I urn ignorant of what be came of C, who was secured, or of his companion who was left behind ; but, if I ma; judge from the silence of the papers, I should say they wara not hrouAtt to justice. In Augusta I heard a pm-sr:n ear that these were not uncommon incidents, and that scarcely a week passed with out some fatal encounter on that road. THE EASTERN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the works, Miltwall, under the presi dency of the hon. Henry F. Berkeley, M.P. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement con vening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said he was sorry to acquaint those assembled that there were not sufficient shareholders pre sent to constitute a legal meeting, and that, consequently, none could take p!ace. He and his brother directors had been waiting an hour and a half in the expectation of ()piety arriving, hot all to no purpose. On such an occa pion, he felt that any further observations would be super:. finoes. A SHAREHOLDER asked if they could rot hear the re. port read, even though no Incetit.g took place ? The CHAIRMAN replied that it was not legal, but stir he had no objection to their hearing the report of the di• rectors : The SECRETARY accordingly read the following re port : " At the fifth annual general meeting of proprietors held on the 19th of February last, it will be remembered that your directors entered into a lengthened detail of their proceedings, and also of the difficult position in which they found themselves placed by the i na bility of their contractor to complete his engagements for build ing, the ship and paddle.engines. Between that period and the 23d May the works were completely at a stand, an occurrence which caused your directors great anxiety. But having in the interval, under the provisions of the respective contracts, and acting under legal advice, taken such measures as in their judgment were calculated to maintain the rights and secure the property of the coin- Pany, upon the last named day the works were resumed under the directions and control of the engineer and officers of the company, under certain arrang ements, which include the u se o f th e en ti re prem i ses and plant of your late contractor. The following is the report of the engineer : " 18, Duke4treet, Westminster, Oct. 13. "‘ Gentlemen,—At the time of the last half-yearly meeting, the works wore entirely suspended, o a ing to the difficulties of our contractor, but. expectations were entertained that arrangements might shortly be entered into with other parties for completing the ship and pad dle engines ; circumstances, however, appeared to ren der it unavoidable that we should for a time undertake ourselves their execution, and towards the latter end of May the works were resumed ; since that time a con siderable quantity of work has been executed. The plat ing of the hull of the ship has proceeded rapidly, indeed at a c easiderably greater rate than during the existence of the c mtract, and the quality of the work being under our own control is also equelly good. The whole of the centre body of the ship is, as may be easily perceived, in a very forw ar d s t a t e , the extremities of the stem and stern alone remain to be completed. Everything is de termined upon and in progress with respect to these parts, but they will necessarily occupy more time in proportion to the quantity of iron to be fixed than the centre body. The paddle engines, paddle wheels, pad dle boxes, and screw propeller are being proceeded with; the boilers of these engines are now being moved, pre paratory to being lifted into the ship, and the travelling crane erected for the purpose has been tested. Messrs. Watt and Co. have given notice of the cemmencement of the delivery in the course of this week also of their boilers, and we shall POOll bo ready to receive their en gine works. I have matured my plans for the launch ing, and am now preparing the drawings and models and the numerous other details, the settlement of which the present advanced stage of the work requires and admits of now occupy my attention. After the many disappointments we have met with I shall not venture to speak of the future beyond expressing the hope and belief that at our next annual meeting the works will be so near completion that we may then safely form an opinion of the time when we may rely upon seeing this great ship afloat.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed) " K. BRUNEL.' This being a half-yearly meeting held in compliance with the terms of the charter and deed of settlement mainly to report progress, it is unnecessary for the directors to enter into any details of their future poliCy or of their contemplated arrangements, but at the next annual general meeting, which it is intended shall be held as early in January next as circumstances will admit of, a full exposition of the arrangements and affairs of the company will be submitted to you. Your directors have thought it advisable to take the present opportunity of holding the meeting at this place, with the view of afford ing any shareholder who might desire to be present an opportunity of witnessing the 'progress making in the construction of the work which they have undertaken, and which is of world- aide fame, reflecting credit alike upon the proprietors, the engineer by whom it was de signed, and the executive who have so ably sec-nded his efforts. In conclusion, your directors now merely re peat their undiminished confidence in the undertaking, and they look forward to the period, not many months distant, when they hope to have the satisfaction of con gratulating their fellow-shareholders upon their ship being afloat and ready fora trial trip." Their being no business to transact, the proceedings then terminated. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS COMPANY. The following is the first report of the directors of the Royal Surrey Gardens Company : " The directors of the Royal Surrey Gardens Company (Limited) hare called the shareholders together at a pe riod earlier than required by the deed of settlement of the company, being anxious to show the result of their past management, and to take the opinion of the share holders for their gui.!ance in future operations. " The original prospectus of this company detailed the grounds upon which the intentions of the promoters were based, and to that prospectus the directors refer, in full confidence that every statement of fact and intention has been strictly adhered to. . . " The concert hall which has been erected is faultless in its general purpose, unrivalled for its acoustic proper. ties, and for the full development of musical art. The gardens and grounds are not unworthy of the building, and when it is considered that on the Ist March last not a brick marked the spot where the hall now stands, whilst the gardens wore comparatively a wilderness, the share holders will allow that some energy must have been dis played to open them to the public in the month of July, as they now appear. Although the summer was fa: ad vanced, and the inhabitants of London were quitting town, the result of the season, short as it has been, ena bles the directors to announce the complete success of the Royal Surrey Gardens Company. "From the opening to the last day of September con tinued prosperity has attended the Royal Surrey Gar dens. The inauguration festival will not be forgotten. The "Messiah" and "Elijah" were produced on a scale till then unattempted, and the directors refer to these performances, universally admitted to have been the finest on record. From the 15th of July to the close of a U n n d d o e t r h t e h r e c a o b u l l e p o g s u e i r d s a o n fceesotafbMlis. h J e u d ll f i a e m n, e t , h h e a s v u e b b li e m en e p re r n oi the season music of the highest character has been given. ductions of Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, dered by Me sdames Alboni, Clara Novello, Gassier, Dolby, Rudersdorff, Fiorentini, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Herr Formes, whilst Bottesini, Piatti, and Sivori, in addition to an efficient chorus, directed by Mr. Land, have given effect to the music. The orchestra which now claims the Royal Surrey Gardens as its home, directed by M. Jullien, has become faultless in exe cution, and numbers daily in its ranks Keanig, Duheme, Hughes, Lavigne, Collinet, Sonnenberg, Hardy, De munck, Schreurs, Willy, and others, whose superiors were never heard at any place of amusement. Crowded audiences have listened with eager attention to refined and delicate, or sublime and grand music, and by enthu siastio applamse have testified their appreciation of its beauties and their own gratification. "The grand tableaux of Constantinople and the Alps, painted by M:r. Danson, are unrivalled as artistic dis plays ; they are worthy of the artist and of the Royal Surrey Gardens, whilst the magnificent fireworks by Mr. Southby have surprised and delighted the public. " The directors refer the shareholders to the first pub lished calculations of receipts and expenditure upon which this company was launched to the public, and they refer to them with pleasure, as they are now enabled to show that every promise of profit has been realised. "After defraying every cost connected with the com• pany from the 15th of July to the 10th of October, there remain a clear profit upon the earnings sufficient to pay a dividend upon the paid-up capital of the company of 5 per cent. for the half-year ending Jan. 1 next ; and the directors recommend such dividend to be declared. The ability to declare and pay such a dividend solely from the earnings of 10 weeks proves the solidity of the calcula tions and the genuineness of the ex:pectations which the promoters held out, and is an earne st of the much larger 1 , refits which next year may fairly 15a reckoned to yield. " The directors wish to state that the strictest eco heha)-- has been used in every praoticable way, and no expens.' has been incurred that could be avoided. They h ave en a,:avoured to place the Royal Surrey Gardens Company in its proper position as ( me of the legitimate tha companies • . - t the Jaw of limited - iliability has brought forth, combining the profitable em ployment of capital with the improvement of the people in musical taste, and giving rational entertainment and amusement at prices within the reach of all. "The directors believe that from the use of the music hall during the winter season a consi deralsle revenue may be derived. Arrangements are in pr oparation for musical performance, and for choral and madrigal gatherings. For public dinners and meetings re quiring a large area it is peculiarly suited, as there is n. ) building in London capable of holding so large an audience. " The directors, anxious to carry out to the fullest ex tent the project which has been sc , satisfactorily com menced, are using every effort to rein ler the textnex summer s eason, from May to September, eql ual to e ments of the public and the expect ations of the share holders. They seek to organise a musementa for the thousands who, before the cowmen' cement and during 'the intervals of the performance in Vat) music ball, would enjoy the diversified entertainm slits which may be brought forward. "The past season has partially p roved the capabilities of the culinary and refreshment departments. With goods judicious improvements and alterations a very Sporting Intelligence.

CAMBRIDGESIIIRE STAKES. 10 to 3 agst Vengeance (taken) 10 to 1 apt Malacca +Alto 12 to 1) T_FIE RUSSO-MOLDAVIAN BOUNDARY. The following letter, by the " Hertfordshire In cumbent," has been addressed to a contemporary : In common with many who took a liveiy inte rest in the terms on which the late war was con cluded, I was unable to make out in a satisfactory manner the course taken by the proposed boun dary ; but I concluded, of course, that the parties immediately concerned in determining it had be fore them authentic local inftirmation which was not generally accessible. If, however, the present proceedings of the Russian Government are cor rectly represented this certainly could not hale been the case ; on the contrary, the ignorance which prevails in Western Europe respecting this out-of-the way locality must have been wilfully abused for the purpose of evading th, , ) main object of negotiation—the security of the free .navigation of the Danube. The fact is, that the whole coast of th.” Black Sea, from the northern mouth of the Dan L - tbe to that of the DnieAter, is fringed with a series of h.\kes (or limans) at the outlets of the steppe rivers. Their connection with the sea and with one anothe: i 3 a very variable one. In the spring and early sum mer the strong floods producJd 133 r melting snow and ice force a passage here and there, and the salt lake becomes a portion of the sea ; at other periods strong easterly winds deposit large quantities of detritus, and the result is either a long bar, or in some cases, an absolute closure of the neck of the gulf. The sea-loch becomes a salt lake, or salt marsh, excessively unhealthy, but very valuable from the abundance of salt which it furnishes ; the streams which run into it, when not mere channels for surface drainage, partaking not uncommonly of a strong saline character. Of this changeable nature of the coast in question it really seems that advantage has been taken by our new allies to secure their object clandestinely. In Western Europe I suspect that no better autho rity exists for the nature of the locality Than the old French map of Zannoni, " Carte de la partie Septentrionale de l'Empire Otoman, 1774." No doubt much more accurate charts exist in the Rus sian archives, but there has been nothing in the course of events to call the attention of other na tions to that part of Europe. Now, in Zannoni's map, the Salsig Liman appears altogether separated i] of the K flowingagaltnhirko, u g o h r Tart a from the Bourna Soula. The former is the estuar y (if one may use such a word where there is no suc h ttiLi nr River,tterritoryas of the Budziack Tartars. The latter i s a nother estuary some 25 miles to the eastward, unmista k ea bly fixed in site by a Tart ar v ill age an d mosq ue on the banks of it, having the same name, a lth o ugh perhaps hardly recognisable in the altered f orm , Burneseul, which it bears i n th e A us t r i an ides a ats it the was called, from map. From the nature of the coast nothing is, indeed, mo re probable than that th e more eas t ern of these • two estuaries has in the cou rse o f th e l as t seven ty years become connected with the w es t e r n , an d a lso with several intermediate limans of the stow 'kind. Such, indeed, is the idea suggested by the last. Admiralty chart ; and a similar process has cer tainly taken place in several other localities of the same coast. Now, here was a favourable opportu nity for a piece of sharp practice. Bourna Soul& means the same thing, as Salsig Liman—viz., salt marsh ; and by the course of natural operations the two have become included in the same lagoon. Hence the simplest of problems for a pettifogging attorney—find any point on the Euxine three quarters of a mile to the east of any point of the new lagoon, and you may call it to the east of the Bourna Soula, although the true Bourne Soula is at least a day's journey to the east of it. The reader who is familiar with the south coast of England will the better understand this pretty arrangement by supposing a proposition made to divide England by a line drawn perpendicular to the south coast road, from a point on the shore " 7 _ 0 . 12 ° mile to the east of Chichester Harbour." Let. bum imagine the waterway between Selsea and. or Bembridge Point choked up by an earthquaket him some other convulsion of nature ; and thee northward agreed upon by running a line to t the ground from Freshwater Bay to Bomsey, further conceive a suggestion to fulfilthen n onditions and . thea were "other names of Chichester barb() -• Such, to all appearance, is the cogent rea sons of our new friends The occupation of the Isle o f Serpents b ecomes intelligible for the first time, when taken together that the Solent, Southampton Water: n pi d _ with this audaciou s attem p t to deceive France.
