It is true that no exiled Monarch ,now exists with whom they can keep up treasonable communica tions to bring about his restoration to his throne - but the same principles—if principles they.can be produzed the " base and wicked conduct" of the Russells and the. Churchilli of those days, have evidently been in full op°. ration amongst the Russells, the Aberdeens, and the Paliners.this of these. "They have," as Mr. Macaulay shows that their ancestors did—they have only done "after their kiiid. The times have been troubled. A thick cloud has hung over the future. The most sagacious politician cool I not see with any clearness three months before hittr. To a man of virtue and honour," says the indig: nant historian, "this matt-red little. His tin ier tainty as to what the morrow might bring forth might make him anxious but could not make him perfidious. Thou gh left in utterdarkness as to what con ::erned his, interests, he had the sure g uidance o f his principl es . B ut unhappily, men ofvirtu3 and honour were not numerous amongst the statesmen:, of that age." A future Macaulay, writing . ,present events, might state with truth that Downing-street bad during a quarter of a century " swarmedwith-low minded, double-dealing, self-seeking politiltianai l These politicians have acted as it was natural that men profoundly" profligate in political affairs " would act at a crisis of which none could predict the issue. Some of th em h a d a strong predilec tion against the French Emperor ; some of them had a strong predileetimi- iiGfaxplir of Russian,- power ; but it was not by any such predilection that the conduct of any of the breed was guided:" If they had thought that the spirit of the nation would compel an alliance with the French Em peror, they would all have been fur Louis Na poleon : if they had thought that the nation would have tolerated Russian encroachment, they would ail have been for the Czar. " But what could they do when the chances were so nearly balanced ? The honest men of our party answered," resist Russia to the death in the attempt to crush the liberties of the world. " The honest men of the other party answered"—Russia is the great Conser- vative power which uphold the despotic monarchies of the Continent. Let us not assail that Conser vative CJlossus. Eut such consistency was unin telligible to the noble and the powerful; their ob , ject.was to be safe " in office" in every event ; they, therefore, openly argued for going to war at WI Russa, and secretly gave their assurance to Russia that they would avert such dire extremity. This denounced Louis Napoleon as a tyrant on the Ett it, ings ; but hastened to crouch to him when hey waute 1 him as an ally. Such, with a few trifli ig ad , pta ions to the al . ered circumstances, may well I e the contemptuous words of some future Ma(au lay, words which the -present Macaulay has em ployed when describing the statesmen of the time of William and Mary. Who can deny their being strictly applicable to the statesmen of the .tim) of Victoria ? To them the word "c, nsistenoy"- is unintelligible. They can see no baseness in hold ing one language to the Ozer, and another to the British nation. They can see no baseness in pro 7 mising the nation to conduct the war with the ut most vigour, yet nevertheless so conducting it as to spare the foe whom they undertook to conquer. When the language of the late Czar comes to be accurately ascertained, and the exact nature of it set forth by some future historian, will it not be found that it was full of complaint against the Euglish Ministers for having betrayed him into the war ? They beguiled him into the belief that they would not fight, and then consented tobe the agents for carrying on the fight against him. They sought a balm for their concieuce in a fresh treason. Tney promised the British people to carry on the war with the utmost vigour, and they have contrived so to conduct it as to do the least possible injury to the country which they assailed. Their state of mind was this—if our armies are triumphant, well and good ;we shall reap the glory. If they are defeated, well and good ; excuses can be formed, and Russia is saved from being humbled. They failed in both. Our army, triumphant i n b a t t l e , was destroyed by shameless neglect.. England was dishonoured; but Russia, nevertheless, was humbled. [PRIOR 4D. - STAMPED SD• lan I and all other expenses, had been brought down to . 15,000 g. per mile. Taking the cost at 15,0001. per mile,; and a.suming that the line : between Shrewsbury and, Hartlebury afforded traffic equal to that portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line, and allow ing 50 per cent. for working' expenses, the receipts of that line applied to this woula pay 61 per cent, on the outlay. Taking it in comparison with the Shrewsbury and Hereford they would have rather over 5 per cent.' In looking through the retails of the different lines, of .railway, he did not find any lower in its receiptst than the Shrewsbury and Hereford, and, with the ex-I ception of the Aberdeen Railway, none so low. In the , eastern counties of England the average weekly receipts: of the different railways were 281. per mile ; and, as-, sliming that this line received only 261. per mile per week,' they would have five per cent, on the outlay. Before' the line could be c a rried o u t 150 , 0001 . must be raised in shares. He, as the chairman of the corn-:, pany, would never sanction the corntnencernent of, the line until he saw that they were in a position honesty to pay for the whole of the undertaking, and to carry it out in its. entirety. .Within the !ast fortnight he had been. instrumental in obtaining' subscriptions for shares to. the extent of 748,0001, ; and if` Bridgnorth, Bewdley, and the other' towns along the line, came forward liberally, the directors would be en abled to start the undertaking this summer, and the line between Shrewsbury and BriagnOrth might be com pleted in fifteen months from the time of its commence ment, and the whole lice in two . years and a quarter. By completing the Shrewsbury end of the line first, they would have twenty miles opened, which would be earn ing as much at least as would pay the interest on the debentures. In, conclusion, the hon, gentleman said he wished to correct a statement that had gone abroad to the effect that the directors intended only to carry out the line to Ironbridge ; the directors were determined to make the whoie Mr. J. PRITCHARD, M.P., sp Ate - at some length in support of the undertaking been at once carried into effect, and to aid the directors in doing so he suggested that a committee be formed to canvass the town and district. He was himself prepared to support it. Mr. FOWLER (engineer to the line) explained that if the landowners could be induced to take tae value of their lend in shares, a loss sum than that named by Sir S. M. Peto (150,0000 would be sufficlent, and it was not necessary that the whole of that sure should be lo cally raised. If one half was subscribed by parties re sident in the neighbourhood, the other half would no doubt be provided by capitalists. A discussion of some considerable length ensued, and ultimately a resolution was adopted to the effect tbatthe statement of Sir S. M. Pete was sa'isfactory to the meeting ; and a committee of gentlemen was appointed to cavass the town and neighbourhood for shares. Votes of thanks were accorded to Sir S. Dl. Pete and the Mayor, and the meeting then separated. Tile Russell of William's days led his oil master, King James, to believe that he would deliver up to him the English fleet, over the command of which his confiding new master, King Willi.llll, had placed turn. And when King James, relying on his assur ances, acted in full conviction of their fulfilment, Russell, with characteristic faithlessnes,4 crushed Jame s ' s hopes f or ever b y the decisive victory of La Hogue. The Rus-ell of these days first openly approved of the Papal aggreis!on, then secretly connived at it ; then fanned the flame of wrath an 4 indignation which had sprung up against it, by fiercely denouncing it ; and then when, by these means, he had regainLd the confidence of the public, he betrayed that confidence by bringing in a mea sure which cinfirmed rather than repelled the ag.: gression. Allowing for the difference of circum stances, what is there to clio.ise between the Ru:-ell and the Nottingham of William's time, and the Russell and the Aberdeen of Victoria's / Are they not the same motives by which " the conduct of the breed is guided I" We ask thou, in. this age of progress, if cur statesmen have pro gressed, have they progressed in baseness or in virtue ? LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, 1856. Naval and Military Intelligence.

Jackdaw, Lieut. Swinburn Hind, Lieut. Ward. Lark,Lieut,Cummin. Cockchafer, Lieut. Porteous. The whole force anchored at the Motherbank by sun set last night, and will remain and be augmented consi derably tor the inspection of her Majesty as before an nounced. Tte fleet now c 'fleeted at Spithead, in Ports mouth harbour, and at the Motherbank, exceeds by far that of the whole Baltic fleet of 1854, and by the 16th there are expected as many ships as would equal, if not exceed, the force of both the Black Sea and B!ack fleets of the year before named. The Centaur, 6, paddle-frigate, Capt. W. J. Clifford, C. B , is ordered to hold herself in readiness to sail from Spithead. The Devastation, 6, paddle steam-sloop, Commander Marshall, and the Coquette, 4, steam gun-boat, went out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead, to await further ordtrg. The former shipped a mail for the Cape of Good Hope on Thursday evening, and only awaits despatches from the Government. The Transit naval steam•transport, Commander C.R. Johnson, bent sails at Portsmouth yest.rday, and with the Perseverance steam-transport, Commander 111 4 - D..nald, remains under orders, preparing for sea. The Brave, new gun-boat, W/13 taken out of dock yes terday afternoon, and the Brazen and Blazer taken in to be fitted. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-sloop Sty; Com mander J. M. Bruce, from Florg Kong, which landed mails at Falmouth on Thursday, was going up Channel yesterday afternoon, when she was signalled by Port Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, and entered Plymouth Sound. Fier dates are--Straits of Sunda, December 23 ; Cape of Good Hope, February 10 ; St. Helena, February 21 ; Ascension, February 29 ; and Madeira, February 20. She has brought home 80 Russian prisoners, part of the crew of the frigate Diana ; and the ship's company of her Majesty's brig Rapid, 8. The Surprise gnu-vessel has arrived at Chatham dock yatd, for the purpose of being brought forward for sea with all possible despatch. She has been commissioned by Commander Harcourt:iVernon, and will have a crew of 80 men, exclusive of marines. Tne Assurance gun-boat, Commander W. Gore John son, is ordered to be "taken to Chatham, to be made ready for sea. Too Sparrowhawk, Commander Gurney Cresswell, in dock at Chatham, has a large number of bands employed on board, in order to complete her for sea by the com mencement of the ensuing month. A very considerable reduction is or&red to be made in the number of men employed at Chatham dockyard, and an order has been received fr,rn the Admiralty by the beads of departments at that establishment that 100 labourers, 20 sawyers, a number of riggers, and also the whole of the superannuated shipwrights' temporari:y employed, are to be discharged this day, their services being no longer required. It is understood that another reduction will shortly be made at that establishment. The screw steam-sloop Rattler, homeward bound, passed the Straits of Sunda on the 231 Dec. All was quiet at the Cape of Good Hope. In Simon's Bay were the frigate Castor, 36 ; the paddlewheel steam-sloop Hydra, 6, Cernmander II G. Morris ; the sloop Frolic, 16, Coannander M. S. N Aloth ; and the sloop Grecian, 12, Commander G. Bland. At Ascen'ion, Commodore Adams, in the paddlewheel steam-sloop Salamander, 6. The Styx has teen 4 years and 9 months in commission. She experienced fine w eather until reaching Ushante. Mechanics employed on the London, 90, Capt. W. H. Jervis, at Devon port, are ordered to work extra hours to complete her fitting-out. by the 9th April. The crew of the Calcutta, 84, Capt. J. J. Stopford, at Devonp..rt, got up lower yards and topmasts on Thursday. The screw steam transport Victoria, No. 72,1 rom Ports mouth, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. She is appoint :A to embark Land Transport Corps for the Crimea, but will not leave before the Ist of April. H. M. steamer Geyser arrived in the Mersey yesterday morning, with stores and masts for the gun-boats re cent,y built by Mr. J. Laird. She will leave in a few days with the gun-boats Rainbow and Bulfineb, to be followed spe , dily by H.M. steamer Hecla, with the Red breast and Raven. The gun boats Leveret and Mackerel were yesterday undocked at Woolwich, and the despAtch gun-boat Roebuck replaced them iu dock. The Traveller was also taken into No. 1 dock to be coppered. Extranidinary diligence continues to pervade the dockyard labours at Woolwich. As a proof of the expe dition with which the various departments are cln ducted, it way be stated that the average tune employed in ringing and wasting a gunboat rarely exceeds an hour and a-half. A Government contract has been entered into by Messrs. Lucas Brothers for the erection of a now cannon foundry and boring mill, on the site between the two foundries alrzady in pr,-,gre-s in the Arseral grounds at Woolwich. The design of the buildings haying been produced by the newly appointed Government building engineer, Mr. Ala ray, and approved by Lord Pan mure, the space has been cleared, and the commence ment of digging the foundation lines ;sill take place on Monday next. The facade of the foundry is to be Luilt of various coloured bricks. Tue architecture will be somewhat in a modern Elizabethan s'yle, formed by tin innovation upon the stone cornice system of building by a substitution of coloured bricks. The extreme length of the frontage, which is to he flanked by two wings running north and south, will be 360 feet. In ad dition to the above-named works Messrs. Lucas are en gaged in raising some other very extensive buildings at Woolwich, all of which ere in a progressive state. The paper factory is nearly complete. Portions of the ma• chiners to be employed there are daily arriving from the fii in of Messrs. Fairhairn, of Leeds. Mackintosh's patent engine for the preparation of pulp bags used in the manu facture of cartridges has been likewise received. The shell foundry and laboratory saw mills are also proceeding rapidly towards completion. The whole line of wharfage fronting the storehouses is being renewed and consi derably strengthened with immense blocks of stone shipped from the Portland quarries, and which by means of the numerous cranes along the quay are landed with small amount of labour to the requisite spots. A number of supernumerary labourers, under 100, who were hired for some specific purpose, and whose engagements have terminated, are to be di!csarged from the Storekeeper's department at Woolwich Arsenal on Monday. This has led to the belief that a large num ber of hands was to be dismissed in the event of peace. Such, however, is not to be the case. Instructions have been forwarded to Woolwich from the War-office, inti mating that it will be recessary to keep up the number of labourers at present employed there, as the duties of the arsenal departments w:11 in any case be increased. An official circular has been issued from the Horse Guards, dated March 26, stating that until further or ders no recruit is to be received for the infantry below the height of 5 fee: 5 inches. Captain the Earl of Listowel, Scots Fusilier Guards, is about to retire from the regiment. His lordship en tered the service in May, 1853, as ensign and lieutenant in the above regiment. He embarked fur service with his battalion in 1854, was present at the battle of the Alma, where he was severely wounded, which compelled his return to England. He had, however, sufficiently recovered by the latter part of last winter to allow of his return to the Crimea, from which date be served upon the staff of Major General Windham, till his return to England, which was on the death of his father, the late Earl of Listowel. The depot of the 91st Regiment assembled on the pa rade ground at Chatham barracks, on Thursday after noon, a further supply of medals having been forwarded from the Horse Guards for distribution among those men who were engaged in the Cafire war. The depot having been formed into a square, Licut.-Col. B. E. M. Gor don, the clnitnanding officer, proceeded to distribute the medals to abut 160 Non-commissioned officers and men who were engaged in the campaign in Southern Africa. A number of medals were also forwarded yesterday to those non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the 91st who are absent from the depot on recruiting service. Another supply of Caffre medals is expected from the Waroffice, to be distributed among the men of the 91st, which regiment took part in nearly every en gagement which occurred with the Caffres. MILITIA. - The Somerset Militia and the Fermanagh Militia, in addition to the South Mayo and the Cumberland, as also th e City of Dublin Artillery, with the 35th Regi• ment, are'hrld in readiness to proceed to the Curragh camp by the 10th of April, on which date all officers and ►nen are supposed to be present with their c)rps. THE ARMY.— It is understood that a new canteen, in ! vented by Lieut. Harris, of the Royal Marines, is to be generally used f or trial by the various arms of the ser vice. This cant een i s extreme l y s imple, applicable to ' many uses, and, although str anger, is still lighter than the articles now used for cooking purposes by the sol dier. It also obviates the necessity fer that cumbrous article the camp-kettle ; and, indeed, appears all that could be luvented applicable to the purpose. THE DESTRUCTION OF COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The following letter has been addressetl to the Editor of the Times:— I Sir,—l have waited with patience the termination of the investigation into the causes of the late disastrous fire at Covent-garden Theatre, and I have borne in silence the libellous assertions and more libellous inuen does unsparingly made against me by some portion of the press. I had determin e d t o " bid e m y ti me "—t o allow the public to have their say, and all those petty calumniators who are always ready to pursue a man with envy when he is prospe ree ., and with detraction when they fancy he is " down," to have theirs likewise. I knew that I had an impartial tribunal to which to ap peal in the Times newspaper, and deeming that the time had now arrived when a statement from me and a vindi cation of my conduct aro due both to the public and to myself, I respectfully but confidently claim to be allowed to plead before the moat influential court of public opinion in the world —t o bold ue my hand in your dock—and to say boldly, "Not Guilty" to all the charges, direct and indirect, preferred against me. It would be pusillanimous in me to shriek from direct reference to the most current and roost malignant accu sation against me. It may be sneeringly objected, that " he who excuses accuses himself ;" but the aspen sions on main the newspapers have assumed far too definite a form for nee to pass them over in silence, and the plain truth must out—that lam either an incendiary or a deeply wronged and injured man. If I were the cause of the destruction of Covent-garden Theatre, it roust either have been by an act of deliberate arson or through cul pable negligence. That lam accused of either one er ther other is palpable, I think, from the accompanying extraet from Punch : "Of the Wizard of the North, " Sings the Tuesday night's renown, " When he let the gas burst 'forth, "And burnt the playhouse down." Now, this may be sorry doggrel, and only a specimen of the notorious waggeries of Mr. Punch. It may be meant " only in fun ;" but fun that in plain English accuses a man whose reputation is his bread of letting gas burst forth and so burning down a theatre is fun of the frog and boy specie is death to me. Humourous or serious, there cannot be any mistake about the meaning endeavoured to be conveyed by the list two lines. The Punch scribe might insinuate with equal jecoseness that I murdered Eliza Grit wood or stole the R >yet nursery plate, as that through any act of mine the theatre of which I was a tenant was destroyed. Nor can I afford to pass such a statement by with contempt. In an or dinary clinic publication I should look at it as a silly squib ; but Punch is an institution and an authority, and a line in its columns has often more power for good or evil than a page elsewhere. I may be wanting in the etiquette of journalism in endeavouring to refute in the pages of the Times attacks made upon me in other journals. Bet what am Ito do? Will those papers which have so foully slandered me in sert my vindication ? And is it not better for me to ap peal to one thoroughly impartial and disinterested on either side of the question ? What course of redress is open to me, for instance, against the Spectator, which, in its number for Saturday, March 8, coolly remarks : —" Covent Garden Theatre is burnt down, and the public, taogbt by experience, at once suspects the in cendiary." Will the writer of that remark deny that the "experience" alluded to is but a reference to the calumny of the "two theatres burnt down under my rnatragemeet," and that I coneevently am pointed at as the " incendiary" suspected ? And yet, were Ito ap ply to the editor-of the Spectator to open his columns to my denial, would it not be very probab'e that my only reward would be a contemptuous inquiry as to who had accused me by name, and a recommendation to wear the cap if it fitted nee ? In the Examiner again (I quote none but powerful journals), there has appeared a leader in which, in fervent language, my bal masque is de nounced as a scene of the most rampant debauchery and abominable harlotry, and in which it is almost re gretted that the " orgie" was not brought to a termina tion by fire frern Heaven, instead of the material element; and by Mr. Douglas Jerrold I am described as " a fire king enthroned on a tarbarrel, whose reputation will be burnt into the memories of generations." I hive it net in contemplation for one moment to at tempt to combat the suddenly virtuous indignation of the Press against bats masques in general. It is not for me to enter into the queetron of their merality or ire - morality. Assuming them to b- scenes as depraved as the purist of the Examiner describes them to be, may I still be allowed to ask whether I invented or even re vived this class of entertainment—whether I have been singular in giving ball masques? There have have such balls at her Majesty's Theatre, at Drury-lane, and at that very Covent-garden where mine took place, and under the auspices of the very manager with whom I am now s > enfavourably contrasted. I gave my bat masqut! with the concurrence of Mr. Gye, doing only what had been done on the same arena many times be fore, and with the sole and stedfiat view of discharging my_liabilities to my landlord by the only legitimate means in my posse sion. Ido not think I am at all overstating the case when I say that for all commercial purposes the ball was Mr. Gye's, not mine. He had at first objected to its raking place ; but on my represent ing to his solicitor that I knew of no other process (owing to the heavy losses I had already incurred) whereby to raise a sum sufficient to pay the balance of the rent out standing, and on my executing a formal assignment of the proceeds of the entertainment to Mr. Gye, that Fe tlemaa on being again communicated with gave his consent, on the under,tand;ng stated above ; and in performance of my part of the contract the whole of the sum received, ameunting to-700/., and which had been lodged for sah.ty, when the cinfl rgr ation broke out, at the police-stetion, Bow-street, by my secre tary, Mr. Hingston, was, on my written order, handed over to Mr. Gye, and is now in his possession. An in cendiary, surely, would have played his cards better than this. I can prove what I have stated by my witnesses and my documents ; at the earns time I do not wish it in any manner to go forth that I am desirous of bring ingch 'rtes against Mr. Gye. lie had behaved previously most kindly aed honourably to me ; he had consented to wave our original arrangement, which was only for magic performances and pantomime. He allowed me to give, in addition, dramatic and operatic performances, and he lent me dresses from the wardrobe for the lat ter purpose. It hag been publicly stated that tin verd!ct of 1113 c n•one.'s jury might have run thug :—" Deet•oyed by a ma-ked hall, produced by puffs of a most dultterious character.' Now, I will ask, sup easing that ttie bat masque had gone off a ithout an accident, if any such scandalous remark would have been made • or, again, supposing that the neighbouring theatre of brur)-lane had been consumed during a similar entertainment, Mr. E. I'. Smith would have ben held up to public odium as I have bean ? Toe disaster at Covent-garden might have occurred during the performance of the "Hu guenots," during an oratorio, a Free Trade bazaar, or a promenade concert ; and I think it is the grossest, the cruelest, t' e most crying injustice to attempt to fix the responsibility of thiacalatnity, either directly or indi rectly, upon we, wh, n there is not the shadow of evi dence to convict me even of negligence (tor the much talked of wires of my galvanic apparatus would joot as sot,n—as any tyro in science will confirm—have set the Thames on fire as the theatre), and when by this con• flagration I am a most serious loser in chancter, in purse, and in p:ospects. But I am a "juggler," and no lenity is to be shown to the "so-called IVizard," to the mountebank, to the showman. I am a juggler, and accept the balls and basin manfully. 1 have juggled for many years, with a great deal of success, and have made and lost a great deal of money. It is no idle boast, but a simple statement of the truth, to remind the contemners of the mountebank that I have juggled before most of the crownel heads in Europe, and that the showman has been summoned to Balmoral to juggle before her present Majesty. But there is one thing I have always endeavoured to be in addition to a jugger—viz., an honest man. I wish to use no hackneyed sentiment, but I am here to assert my honesty and my manhood, and I will do so against all comers. The " noble lyric temple of Covent-gar- I den" was desecrated by the occupancy of the juggler. Why, when a moneyed tenant could not ba found, was the juggler's money so eagerly accepted ? Why, so long as he was prosperoue, was the juggler be praised and bacomplimented ? Why, when fortune fur the moment frowns upon him, is he looked upon as the lowest of the low, the vilest of the vile ? Who, when I left the Lyceum Theatre, after an almost is precedeutedly successful campaign, protested against my taking Covent-garden ? The press augured a splendid season for me ; but I am now unfortunate, and I ma now a butt for every scribbler's shaft—sneered at as a Merry- Andrew, or darkly denounced as a " Swing." My pantomime was, commercially, a failure. T did my best with it, and I did my best afterwards to tight myself by operas, by dramas, even by my much-abused Bal Masque. Success I did not achieve ; but may Ibe permitted to ask my company, my tradesmen, and my brother managers a few questions ? Have my actors or artisans ever gone on half salaries or found an empty treasury on Saturday? Have I ever pandered to aristo• cratic vices by giving engagements in the ballet, in ex change for subscriptions for stalls and private boxes ? Have I ever allowed the vapid witlings of fashion—have I permitted even my own friends—to dangle behind my scenes ? Have I ever endeavoured to repudiate or to evade one jest demand upon me? I kept Covent-garden open for nine weeks, I have wronged no man of one farthing, and I have toiled like a slave to please the public. But on the last night of my tenancy the theatre, by an accident, inevitable and unaccountable, but with which I have no more to do than the man in the moon, is burnt down ; and my reward is an accusation of con• structive arson, the most unmanly detraction, and the foulest abuse. My unqualified contradiction of public statements made by Mr. Surnam and Mr. Marcus Sharpe that two theatres —one in America, the other in Glasgow—had been burnt down while under my control, has already gone forth to the world; that the statements themselves have done me an incalculable amount of injury. Of tLe unfortu- nate, and to me utterly ruinous, destruction of the one theatre with which I was connected—the City Theatre, Glasgow —I have already offered explanations. But I should like to remind. these charitable persons wh o o think the conflagration at Glasgow a prino fade batio evide!ice against me in the burning of Covent-garden, that I had already been the occupant of five London theatres—the Strand, the Lyceum, the Adelphi, the St. James's, and Covent-garden. itself, before my last and unfortunate tenancy of that building. I should wish them to remember that I havo performed in almost every theatre in the United Kingdom, that I bare been the lessee, for a regular dramatic sea,on, of the Theatre Royal Manchester. That I have performed ih all the thereres of the United :St - atefi of America, and in very many of Germany, Sweden, _Denmark, and Russia. If I were the "fire-king enthroned on a tar-barrel" of my detractors, my, theatre-burninge would be reckoned by hundreds, not units. Sir, I have done. I may have transgressei the limits which you may feel disposed to assign to statements such as mine ; but in the press lies my only hope of setting myself right with the public. By some journals I have been unjustifiably attacked ; but I have no quar rel with the press ; to it, in the aggregate, I am under very many and very deep obligations, and I now appeal to its sense of honour, and its sense of justice, with a firm reliance on both to be allowed to clear myself from the ruinous scandals that have been cast upon me.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,, JOHN HENRY ANDERSON. . . . RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE. The annual meeting. of 'this company was held on Thursday at Newcastle ; Mr. W. Wood presided. The report, an abstract of which has appearad_in The Sun, was rend by the chairman, who commented-upon the kerns therein. He said that, notwithstanding the great in crease in the value of money, the directors had had ne difficulty in renewing the debentures at the rate of 4i per cent. The directors had reported that on takin the, detailed valuation of the stores on the- Ste - r` they find that a considerable discrepancy has arisen. He (the chairman) said, no doult that clause had caused considerable remark, and he thought the directors were entitled to take credit for introducing itinto the report. There was no railway company in the kingdom that could keep their stare accounts ; and no railway cam- i pany had introduced into their reports any clause of this kind till it had been done by the Newcastle and Carlisle. They might have covered the discrepancy by adding a little to this item and a little to the other ; but the object of the directors and auditors of this company bad been to put the plain fact before the meetine, not only that the shareholders might be informed of it, but also that their employe., might understand that nothing would be covered and nothing blinked that would not bear the closest investigation. He (the chairman) had been ridi culed for introducing this clause. He had been told by railway authorities that it was a most unparalleled stretch of candour ; but notwithstanding it was a fact. After the reading of the report a discussion arose as to the propriety of confirming the appointment of Mr. Smiles, the manager, to the additional office of secretary, vacant by the decease of Mr. John Adamson. Mr. WILSON said he censidered the two offices were incompatible. He thought Mr. Smiles's time might be fully occupied indoors, attending to the accounts, and the cernrany would do well to appoint a manager to take charge of the whole line, even It they gave him 1,0001. a-year, It appeared from the accounts that there was a defalcation in the storekeeper's department of 1,4911. He could not see how that could have arisen if the man agement had been as efficient as it ought to be. The CRAInuAw defended the course which the direc tors bad pursued hitherto, and after Borne discussion, it was unanimously re-olved, on the motten of Mr. ELLISON, seconded by Mr. CHALLONER, that Mr. Smiles be ap pointed secretary. His continuance in the office of manager rested with the directors. The Chairman ex plaened that Mr. Smiles's salary as manager was 4001. a-ysar. The salary of the late secretary was 3001. and the fees and by uniting the two offices there would be a saving to the c rnpany. The re port was unanimously adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate of 5 per ceet, per annum. Mr. Isaac Crawhail and Mr. J. F. Elliott were re elected directors, and Mr. Howatd, of Corby Castle, was elected a director in place of Mr. George Dixon, who retires in consequence of his connexion with the Silloth Day Company. Mr. Miller was re elected auditor. Mr. ELLISON moved that the amount of remuneration to the directors for their services be increased from 7501. to 1,000/. a-year. Mr. M. BELL seconded the motion, which was carried unaeimoesly. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. STIRLING AND DUNFERMLINE. The half•yearly meeting of the Stirling and Dunferm line Railway Company was held at Elinburgh on Tuurs day ; Mr. J. Anstruther in the chair. The directors report stated that on the 16th of Jan. last Mr. Miller, the stantory auditor of the accounts of expenditure ircurred in the construction of the line, male his report applicable to the portion of the railway situated between Dunfermline and Alma, whereby 371,8181. wag fixed as the amount on which the rent of 4 per cent. was payable by the lessees (the Edinburgh and Glasgow) for that portion of the line. The action against the lessees was itnmedietely enrolled in the Court of Ses•ion before the Lord Ordinary, for the purpose of obtaining decree for the rent due by them ; but the les sees stated objections to the revrt with the view of hsv ing the whole matter again opened up The Lord Orkii nary had given decree in favour of this company, but the lessees had reclaimed to the S,cond Division, before whom the case would come in May next. The report of the audi tors in regard to the traffic stated that the revenue for the half-fear amounted to 15,1591 , the expenses to 5,3061.. or 35 per cent., 1 aving 9,853/. towards the rent, which amounted on 520,0001. capital to 10,400/., showing a deficiency of only 5161. in the half year. The rapidly increa• ing traffic of the line, with the addition likely to be deritie , l from the early opening of the Forth and Clyde Railway, afforle 1 , said the auditors, a pros pect that the returns of the line would shortly not only meet the minintum guaranteed rent, but leave a surplus for division with the lessees. The CLUIRMA.N, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed regret at the opposition the lessees had offered t r the settlement of their chirps, and said that nothing further could now be done till the re-assembling of the Court in May. By that time they bad reason to expect that Mr. Miller's accounts for the remainder of the line would be completed. The bill for raising capital to pay off their outstanding debts bad been presented to Par liament, and now ea ailed the meeting of the committee. Mr. G. BERRY seconded the adoption of the report ; and, while expressing cordial approval of the conduct of the directors, also expre , seil astonishment and indigna tion at the conduct of the Edinburgh and Glasgow B.e The report was approved, the retiring directors and auditors re-elected, and the meeting then serarated. SOUTH WALES MINERAL. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the Craven Hotel, Strand ; Viscount Villiers in the chair. The secretary read the report, which stated that, at an extraordinary meeting of the company held on the 4th of January last, it was unanimously resolved to lease the line to the Glyncorwg Coal Company -for a term of 99 years, at such annual rant as would entitle the share holders to receive a dividend at the rate of 5 1 1 per cent. upen the amount of capital from time to time paid up daring the term of the lease. The directors are of opi nion that there is reason for congratulation on having made such an eligible arrangement. The lease has been executed. and takes effect from and aft- r the 4th of Jan., 1856. The directors have extended the contract of the contractors to comprise not only the tunnel, but about a mile and a quarter of the railway, and they are happy to state that the works were commenced on Tuesday, the 25th instant. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the shareholders on the favourable posi tion of the company in respect of the arrangement en tered into with the Glyacorwg Coal Company, which he had no doubt would prove equally advantageous to both companies. The report was unanimously adopted, and the pro ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. SEVERN VALLEY. Yesterday a very large and influential meeting of landowners,. residents in the district, and others, was held at Bridgnorth, ti) hear from Sir Samuel Morton Peto, Bart., chairman of the company, a statement of the present position and prospects of the line. The mayor of the borough, Mr. J. B. GalausoN, pre sided. His worship briefly explained the object of the meeting, and stated that he had received a letter frpm Mr. Henry Whitmore, one of the members for the borough, regretting his inability to attend, in conse quence of the illness of his brother. Sir S. M. PET° said he had great pleasure in attending that day, to give a candid exposition of the prospects of the railway of which he was chairman. As many present were perfectly aware, he did not in the first instance hold that position, bat he in connection with other friends of his own became a large subscriber to the share list, feeling assured that by so doing be was materially advancing his interests as a shareholder in the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company. But find ing that this company was in a position to need all the aid he could give it, and at the earnest request of the directors, be assumed the chairmanship. On look ing into the project minutely, and after going over the district carefully, he felt that his original anticipations were far more than realised in the prospects that pre sented themselves to isim, and that he had not only entered into what would be valuable in jamming his interest in the Oxford and Worcester line, but that would also in itself be a paying investment. He foutd that certain things had been omitted and certain errors com• mitted in the orignal laying out of the line, which, if ;a me.lied, would not only affect the cost of the under taking, but also materially improve it as an enterprise. The time that had elapsed from his taking the chair bad not been lost time, because they had economised upon the total value of the undertaking at least 120,000/. It was now not only a well considered line, and everything 1 they could desire as to the character of its works ' but the total cost of construction, including the pux - c i ug a of IRO MASTERS' AI ICETIN G. BIRMINGHAM, March 28 . . The usual assemblage of the ironmasters of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire, preliminary to the spring quarterly meetings of the trade was held at Dee's Hotel this afternoon. Mr. Philip Williams occu pied the chair ; nod the att milance, although riot un usually numerous, was influential, The late questionable state of the lion trad • necessarily ,ecepi fe t the attention of the meeting, but cotnparatively little discussion ensued. It was admitted on all hands that, so late as three weeks hack, clnsiderable depression ex isted in the iron districts, and that great doubts were entertained ai to the possibility of maintaining existing prices. Within the last fortnight, however, a marked improvement has occurred, and there are now prospects of renewed prosperity. The expectations which we ventured to express a few weeks ago with respect to the demands of railway companies have in a degree been realised, and further contracts are anticipated. Within the last fortnight orders have been received for not le,e than 20,000 tons of Staffordshire rails, and another large ilemand for a similar description of iron is daily expected. Besides these requiretreate there have been good orders received from the East Indies, and these comprise not only rails, but various descriptors of foundry work used in the formation, maintenance, and working of rriiwaye. The fact that underselling has of late been carried on to a great extent is not denied, but it is stated that it brie been altogether confined to inferior mi,kerz, and not prevalent in the slighte-t degree amongst the maunfae• turcrs of best "brands," Taking all these matters into consideration, the mei t• ins of to-day resolved unanimously, subjeci: to the ap probation of the ensuing quarterly meetings, that the prices fixed is January should be the prices exacted during the ensuing quarter ; and there is little doubt, whatever may be the condition of the trade generally during that period, that the first firms of tle district have sufficient contracts or orders in hand to keep their works in full employ at those rates. Prices, therefore, now stand as follows :—Bars, 91. per ton ; sheets a- d boiler-plate, 101. 10s. per ton ; and hoops, 101. r er ton. It was stated that there is a better demand for pig iron, at improved prices ; best pigs are at least ss. higher than they were a fortnight ago. At the close of the proceedings it was remarked, by old members of the trade, that they were never present at any meeting at which greater unanimity prevailed, or a more decided convic tion expressed of the flattering prospects of the trade. The large firms of the district, who have been exten sive exporters of Staffordshire iron to the United States, do not anticipate any lengthened or serious interruption of trade with that country, and they attribute the partial suspension of orders which has occurred during the pre sent year more to the severity of the winter in America, and the frozen state of its rivers, than to any fear of a rupture with Great Britain. No doubt present diffe rences have induced caution, and considerable slackness in demand has been the consequence ' • but stocks are known to be extremely low in North America, and should the dispute in haul be speedily settled, a great additional impetus will be given to the South Stafford 6hire ironmasters. THE PROPOSED WAR -OFFICE, PALL MALL.—This mat ter does not stand now exactly as our correspondent of last week put it. Professor Cockerell was at first re garded as desiring to quit the profession, and so was not included in the list of invited competitoK Ulti mately, however, be was applied to, and accepted the invitation. Mr. Tite has declined, and Mr. George Mair has been added to the list, which now stands thus : Sir C. Parry, Mr. Cockerel], Mr. P. C. Hardwick, Mr Mair, Mr. Pennethorne, Mr. Shaw, and Mr. Smirke. The designs are to be sent in six weeks atter the instrur tions have been issued. The selected competitor will carry cut his design and receive 5 pet cent. commission, and each of the other candidates will receive 100 guinerts —all the designs remaining the property of the Govern ment.

SURREY BACHELORS' BALL.—On Thursday night the sixth annual reunion of the Surrey Bachelors' Ball took place, when the rooms of the Freemasons' Tavern pre sented a brilliant appearance. Adams's band, Mr. Frampton, tl e master of the ceremonies, Mr. Toole, the treasurer, with Mr. Cartmell, the honorary secretary, all contributed to the apparent happiness and enjoyment of the ladies and gentlemen assembled (nearly 400).
