Brighton at the present moment is not only involved in the heat of an electioneering contest, but seems almost in a state bordering on political insanity. There are five can didates for one vacancy, and each persists in his intention of going to the poll. The breach in the Liberal interest is so disastrous that it is feared nothing can heal it. That tho three Liberal candidates are good men and true, is not gainsaid. Nevertheless, there are reasons why the peculiar qualifications of the first one in the field should not be ignored. Mr. Dumas is a consistent Liberal, thoroughly versed in matters political and commercial, and from the outset has exhibited a manly straightforwardness, an independence, and a degree of honesty which stamp him as a fitting person to represent such a constitutency as that of Brighton. Brought forward by no clique or party, simply standing on his own merits, he has throughout the contest acted with fairness towards his opponents, while they in turn, piqued as they may have been by his:succesg, have been obliged to admit the bona fides of his principles. That Mr. Dumas is foremost in the van is scarcely to be doubted, and, therefore, it would certainly appear to behove the Liberals electors of the borough to set aside all petty ebullition of jealousy or party feeling in his regard, at the poll on Monday, by an over whelming majority. Mr. Fawcett's unfortunate blindness is a fatal drawback to him, and though he may by ad captandune sentiments, and oratorical ability, elicit sympathy, yet it would be a great pity to re turn as a representative a gentleman who could not fully discharge the duties that would devolve upon him in the committees of the House of Commons. The third Liberal candidate is Mr. Julian Goldsmid, nephew of Sir Francis, the member for Reading, but as his chances of success were never very great, and as such it is a pity he should continue his candidature—he will probably retire early on the day of polling. The other candidates are Mr, Harper, who is of no party in politics, and Mr, Moor, the Conservative, who is much respected in the town, but objected to on principle, by what is well known to be a thoroughly Liberal constitu ency. - When it is stated that each of these candidates (with the exception of Mr Moor) is addressing one or two meetings a day, some idea of the state of affairs in Brighton may be gathered. Last night Mr. Dumas met a large body of the electors at the Prince Albert Hotel, and was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The meeting, which was densely crowded, was presided over by Mr. Councillor Jeffs. Mr. Duxes, who on rising was greatly cheered, said some people thought he claimed too much advantage from being first in the field, but he did not found his claims solely on that. They had not been able to de tect in him one sentiment in which he differed from the other Liberal candidates brought forward to gratify the spite of a few committeemen ; who, disappointed in getting Mr. 0 tway in, split amongst themselves, and would have got anybody they could have laid their hands on. (Cheers.) They got a gentleman of academical powers (Mr. Fawcett) to come forward, and he fell into the ti ap, thinking the committee was the organ of the Liberal electors. Mr. Faw cett had stated to that committee and to the constituency that ha would not do a single act that would cause disunion. and it was to be hoped that at the last moment he would recollect that pledge and act in accordance with it, (Loud applause.) He (Mr. Dumas) had made no such pledge, though he had never been guilty of discourtesy to any of the members of the committee. (Hear, hear.) If now some great Liberal gun who could serve the borough better than any of the present candidates were to come forward, he should not press his claims upon them— (cheers)—but when he could serve them as faithfully and honourably as his opponents, he thought ho had a right to go to the poll. (Loud cheers.) He warned them against being led away by gentlemen who said they had previously succeeded in getting so-and-so returned, and expressed his belief that Mr. Fawcett laid too much stress upon his being recommended by Mr. Willett. He (Mr. Dumas) asked them not to believe in any rumours they might hear that he was going to retire in any way—(no, no)—for he thought the responsibility of splitting the Liberal interest could not fall upon him—(cheers)—and when he told them he was desirous of healing the breach in the Liberal ranks he was sure they would give him credit for not wishing to force him self upon the constituency. Mr. Dumas then read some correspondence which took place between him and Mr. Fawcett's committee, in which he agreed to abide by the result of the ballot of the whole of the electors, the propoe sale of which had been rejected by Mr. Goldsmid, and pro ceeded to say that the committees of the other Liberal can didates had circulated bills with tremendous long lists of their supporters, and amongst them he found the name of one man who was dead and buried, one who was in a lunatic asylum, and about a dozen who had promised him their votes. (Laughter.) He dared say these were unin tentional errors. (A Voice—" Accidentally done for the purpose," and laughter.) For his part he could issue a list which it would be difficult to find a sheet of paper large enough to contain. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Dumas then recapitulated his political creed, expressing himself in favour of the ballot, the equalisation of poor-rates, the extension of the franchise. and the reduction of expenditure, especially in the dockyards. The malt duty was now creating considerable attention, but he did not think if that were repealed beer would be much cheaper, as the brewers would get the advantage. (Laugh ter and hear.) He was in favour of its repeal, however, and thought beer ought to be cheaper. (Hear, hear.) In Germany it was nothing unusual to find a man drinking 17 quarts of beer of an evening—(great laughter)—but it was not so strong as that drunk in England. (Hear.) With regard to the Volunteers, he said he admired their high state of efficiency; their organisation and drill were perfect ; and if occasion did arise for their services to be called into requisition, ho believed they would answer everything expected of them. (Cheers.) The great Napoleon called us a " nation of shopkeepers," and it had been said in France that when their first coat was worn out nothing more would be heard of the volunteers, but that was not true. (Hear, hear.) The efficiency of the volunteers was a great argument why the army should be reduced. (Cheers.) After some further remarks, in which Mr. Dumas expressed himself in favour of the projected new line to Brighton, he resumed his seat amidst the most en thusiastic cheering. Mr. MACFARLANE proposed, and Mr. Cox seconded, a resolution to the effect that Mr. Dumas was the moat fit and proper person to represent the borough 3f Brighton in Parliament, which was carried unanimously, three cheers being given for Mr. Dumas. Admiral BURNEY, in a humorous speech, spoke in the most eulogistic terms of Mr. Dumas, and, referring to a conversation he had with Mr. White, one of the represen tatives of the borough, he said he thought it was his aim to deceive him, as he (Mr. White) said Mr. Dumas had not the ghost of a chance. This, however, was proved to be a fallacy by the present orderly meeting, as well as by the numerous other meetings which had decided in favour of Mr. Dumas. After some remarks by Mr. Cox, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting dispersed, not, how ever, before three more hearty cheers had been given for Dumas. THE COUNTESS OF ELGIN.—The widow of the Governor-General of India, the Countess of Elgin, accom panied by the Earl of Durham and the Hon. T. J. H. Thurlow, has arrived at the Hotel Bristol, Paris, en route for England. Her ladyship and party reached Toulon from Alexandria on the 6th on board her Majesty's ship Psyche, and proceeded at once to Marseilles, where she was received at the railway station by the British Consul, Mr. Mark, and the Sfnateur Prefect Count de Malpas, who had been charged by the Emperor to convey the expressions of his Majesty's deep sympathy with the countess in her present bereavement. A CHAPTER ON CABs.—Why don't you improve your street,conveyances ? As to omnibuses, they are beyond hope. A faint attempt was made to do something with them, but it soon subsided, and you have lapsed back into your old grooves again. But don't you think some thing might be done with the cabs ? Why not follow the plan adopted on railways, and have first and second class cabs. According to the present arrangement, you go to the play with your wife, in a vehicle which just before has been occupied by six drunken blackguards returning from a foot raee, or even by worse customers. If there were first class and second class cabs, such objectionable people would hail the latter, on account of the difference in price. And, keeping still to the cab question, why don't you have some means of communicating with the driver without thrusting your head and half your body out of the window ? Even by doing that, you can hardly make yourself heard, in a crowded thoroughfare, till you have got past the house you wanted to stop at, or the street up which you should have turned. By means of a flexible tube you might give your direction with ease, without stirring from your place, or bawling yourself hoarse. And would it be too much to ask that in close cabs there should always be a light inside after nightfall ? As it is, you plunge into the interior of that dark receptacle for locomotive humanity, compelled to take your chance of plumping down upon a seat on which some inconsiderate person has just before deposited a pair of boots thickly encrusted with mud. There is a lamp outside the Hansom ; why don't you have a lamp inside the four wheeler ? And, talking of Hansoms, how is it that the public puts up with that guillotine window ? We have a very nice fellow in this establishment who once broke one of those windows with his nose—the feature is a large one, and the scar is upon it to this hour. If it is not possible to make a window altogether outside the cab, allowing a good space between it and the apron for ventilation, at least - the window as at present existing might be left to the manage ment of the individual inside the cab. The majority of persons who have sense enough to find their way into one of these vehicles, would probably be capable of the mental and bodily effort of dealing with the window. But it is a curious thing, and difficult to acc oun t f or, t h at all persons who are professionally mixed up with horses and carriages always treat you as if in all matters connected with either you were a perfect baby. I must leave this subject of Hansoms and f our -wheelers. I come t o my mos t i mpor t an t suggestion. It is new. It is practical. It gets us—the country generally—the Government —the people—out of a difficulty. It is economical,— .Thekens' s "All the Year Round."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANNOYING THE PASSENGERS IN AN OMNIBUS, AND ASSAULTING THE CONDUCTOR.—COMMITTAL WITHOUT FINE.—John Dennis, potman at the Ship public-house, Wardour-street, was charged before Mr, Knox with assault ing Charles Adkens, the conductor of an omnibus. The conductor said that, about ten minutes past nine last night, the prisoner and two others got into his omnibus at King's-cross. The passengers complained to him that the prisoner and his companions were annoying and insulting them, and making use of very bad language. He spoke to them, and requested them to keep quiet or to leave the om nibus. The prisoner and his companions were quiet for the time, but shortly after began their annoyance again, and a gentleman who got out said the ladies in the omnibus were being much annoyed and insulted by them. He again spoke to the prisoner and requested him to keep quiet, using the most conciliatory language towards him so as to pacify him. On the prisoner getting out at the Regent-circus he said, "I should like to give you a -- punch on the head," and immediately after, on he (the conductor) persuading him to go away, gave him a violent blow in the mouth and another on the nose. He then felt it his duty for the protection of his customers, and on account of the prisoner's offensive language, to give him into custody. Mr. John Barnham, of 33, Sloane-square, said he got into the omnibus of which the complainant was the conduc tor, accompanied by his wife. The defendant, with some companions, annoyed and grossly insulted the passengers. The conductor behaved with great forbearance, and expos tulated with the man, and the prisoner threatened to strike a gentleman who complained of their conduct. The con ductor was very civil throughout, but on the prisoner get- ting out at the Regent-circus he struck the conductor in the face in a violent manner. Police constable Riscorla, 69 G, proved taking the pri soner into custody, and said the conductor was bleeding from the nose and mouth. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable sail the prisoner had been drinking. Prisoner said he was quite sober and had not interfered with anybody, and that he struck the constable in self defence. Mr. Knox observed that he did not believe the prisoner, the more especially after the evidence of the witness (Mr. Barnham). It was a very bad case. The prisoner had got into the omnibus, annoyed the passengers, and then as saulted the conductor, who was simply discharging his duty. He should commit the prisoner for a month, with out the option of paying a fine. The prisoner was then committed. RECOGNITION OP THE SOUTH• We must admire the manliness of Mr. Seholefield, M.P., at Birmingham, in defending himself for becoming a mem ber of the Southern Club, and advocating rscognition,which was not a departure from neutrality, but only the moral effect of public opinion. No w , we quite ages that if Eng land, instead of preve ntin g F rance a year ago from recog nising the Confederacy , ha d joined her wiling to do so, the public opinion of Europe would have brought the bellige rents to peace. Earl Russell no doubt unintentionally stood in the way, n otwithstanding his previous assertion that "the North was fighting for empire and dosainion," and the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer "that Pre sident Davis had made a nation" —the consequence of the Foreign Secretary's untoward conduct bring a loss, in 1863, of over 400,000 lives between North sad South, a vast amount of suffering and desolation, and an increase of debt to both belligerents of over 250 millions sterling. Recogni tion would have averted all this, and nevs he might see North and South on amicable term s . Commencing with 1864, wething it is tha duty of Eng land and France, combined with the ether European Powers, to recognise the South, and the sooner the jus tice of this can be brought home to the House of Com- Jianity, . Leal Palmerston, when Foreign. Secretary mons, the better for civilisat i on, humanity, and Chris recognised Belgium in revolt against Holland, after a few months' fighting, when 5,000 lives were not sacrificed ;:but i n upwardso nt h s of (likely o ne m million loan of lives have been y s last, without recogni tion,lost, and over six hundred m illions of money, Earl Russell recognised the dethronement of the l awful sovereigns of Tuscany, Modena, and Naples, having many _ supporters in to their dominions, but did not re co g nise t he Southerns in their united and unanimous electi on of Davis v ice Lincoln. To thanbring these our countrymen truths home c the t house, , ainshiteside, or Mac- we know none abler donough,.well versed in the common and international law, and if they would do se, they would benefit their country. What the feeling of the people of England and Europe on the question is can be best ascertained by a late speech of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher—our friend the war par son—at a public meeting in New York, after his return from this country, that the friends of the North were in their teens, while the people were for the independence of the South. Lord Palmerston should pronounce at once that his course will be that of international justice, conforming to the will of the people, and boldly announcing to the Gibsons and Brights—" the dark shade" and incubus of his Govern ment—in the words of the poet— " Non ego tali auxilio." If Lord Palmerston recognises the South, and throws himself on the people, he will find a cheering response at the hustings, and then, as the late Sir Robert Pod said, " We will all be proud of him."—Cork R eporter. DIPSOMANIA; OR THIRST MADNESS.—There is not, perhaps, in the whole range of mental or phy sical maladies one so distressing to 'witness, so difficult to manage, or so disastrous in its consequences, not alone to the individual, but to the family, as the too common affec tion,—dipsomania, or t hi rs t-madness. Bad enou g h as it is in itself, it i s aggr avated a thousan d times by the uncertain condition of the law with respe ct to it. The raving maniac is a far less troublesome and dangerous patient to deal with, as ho can bo consigned in the most summary manner to the next asylum, where his malady, in a very large per tentage of cases, gives way to seclusion and proper medicinal treat ment; but the dipsomaniac is an unfortunate, afflicted with a vice or a disease which has not yet found its right place, either in our system of morals or mcdicine.—Oace a WESTMINSTER. DESPISING A WARNlNG.—Charlotte Benjamin and Elizabeth Brennan were placed at the bar charged with a robbery accompanied with violence to the person. Mr. John Williams, a draper, of 46, Queen's-road West, Chelsea, said that on Monday evening, at half-past nine, he hired a cab at the Haymarket and was conveyed to Chelsea College. He then went to the Coach and Horses in Grosvenor-row, where the two prisoners came up and forced their company upon him. Ho was induced upon their importunity to treat them with drink, and he then left the house, but found himself accompanied by the prisoners and two men. After he had proceeded a short distance he was suddenly tripped up and robbed. He was shaken about and his pockets rifled of their contents, consisting of a watch and chain, some money in gold and silver, his hand kerchief, a cigar case, and a pair of gloves. In consequence of the attack upon him he was insensible for some minutes. When he recovered his faculties he was bleeding from the face, and was conveyed into a tavern, where he again be came insensible. Mr. Selfe—Were you sober ? Prosecutor—l was not ; but I was quite sensible of what I was about until I was tripped up and deprived of my senses. Mr. Selfe—ls any of the property recovered ? Prosecutor—The gloves and handkerchief. ' A number of witnesses were examined, and amongst them Sergeant Clements, 27 B, who said that seeing the prosecu tor intoxicated in the street, he went up and cautioned him to beware of the woman and a soldier who were with him, as he might lose his property, but prosecutor disregarded the warning, and continued with them. Evidence was given to show that Benjamin had had possession of the gloves and handkerchief. She accounted for the possession of the gloves and hand kerchief by stating that the prosecutor had given them to her. The other prisoner when apprehended said that prosecu tor was knocked down on entering a dark place and rob bed, but she had had no share of it. The prosecutor was evidently so much intoxicated as to be unable to give a reliable account of the transaction. The prisoners were remanded until Tuesday next, THAMES. A SITSPICIOUB AFFAIR,—POLICE EVIDENCE.—James Brown, a very shabby-genteel looking fellow, about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with uttering a base half-crown at the shop of Mr. Joseph Webster, a butcher, of No. 4, High-street, Stepney, last night. - The prisoner went to the prosecutor's shop and tendered a spurious half-crown in payment for a half-pound of steak On the prosecutor detecting the imposition, the prisoner said he took the half-crown in "the lane," a designation almost universally applied to Petticoat-lane. Richard Waters, a police constable, 378 K, said the prisoner told him it was his first offence. The Prisoner—No, I said nothing of the kind. Mr. Partridge—Now what did the prisoner say ? Witness—The prisoner said he did not .know the half crown was a bad one. It was the first time he ever had a bad one, or words to that effect. Mr. Partridge—That is not saying it was his first offence. If you don't recollect what the prisoner said, you should say so. What did you find upon him ? Witness—A penny three farthings. Inspector Griffin of the K division—Three half-pence farthing yon should say. _ _ The prisoner said ho was a hawker. Mr. Partridge—Did he tell you he was a hawker, police man? Witness—Yes, he did. Mr, Partridge—Why did you not tell me that before ? The prisoner said he took two half crowns yesterday in the lane. He slept at Romford the night before last. Ho knew no one in London. He intended to get half a pound of meat cooked for his supper at a coffee-shop. Mr. Partridge—lf you are a hawker you must have dealt with some one in London. I will take bail for you if you can find any respectable person to be a surety for you. Inspector Griffin—l believe the prisoner is an old offender. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been in his custody before, and had been in custody elsewhere. Mr. Partridge—Then I shall remand him until Tuesday nest. MARKETS—This Day.

Mr. ALFRED WIGAN.—We hear that this popu lar artist is preparing himself to appear in more than one Shaksperian character. Projected Railways and Works in the City. Haywood, the engineer to the Commissioners of Sewers of the Corporation of London, has pre sented a report upon the projects of the railway and other .companies applying to Parliament in the present session for powers to construct works within the city. These projects, he states, are 24 in num ber; 19 are for railways or works connected with railways; one is for the acquisition of property to form a site for a public building; another for the formation of a high level roadway and new streets in connection with it ; one fcr laying pipes for the transmission of parcels and letters by pneumatic agency ; and, lastly, one for the formation of a sub way or tunnel beneath the Thames. The sum of the areas scheduled for projects of all descriptions amounts to about 211 acres, but many parts are un der notice by two, three, or four compani s, and the actual area scheduled is probably about 160 acres, or about one-fourth of the entire city. The total length of the various railways proposed to be made within the limits of the city is about 20 miles. The various public ways of all descriptions which are interfered with numbered 300, more or less ; but in comparatively few cases are the levels to be altered when the works are executed. As to the sewerage works within the city, a very large por tion of them, he says, will be annihilated, and will have to be reconstructed upon an entirely different plan. Two companies propose buying up and utilising the Thames Tunnel ; two propose crossing the Thames west of the Tower of London by bridges with spans of 82011, and with heights of 100 ft above high-water mark; another bridge, equally ambi tious, is to cross at Limehouse, while to the west of Londop four or five bridges, although of less im posing dimensions, are in contemplation. The Monument, Temple Bar, Drapers'-gardens, Fins bury-circus, and Apothecaries'-hall are also sche duled, as are some of the city halls and the Admi ralty at Whitehall. Several lines propose taking possession of part of the Thames Embankment, and one of the centre of the Thames itself. The line of the Fleet sewer, throughout its length within the city and a considerable portion without, is to be re constructed; the sewerage of several square miles is j to be disturbed, and property to the value of many millions sterling is put under notice. Some of the schemes are for railways upon viaducts, those which propose making junctions between the north and south sides of the Thames being necessarily so. The greater part of them, however, are intended to be below the surface ; and nearly the whole within the city are to be in tunnels or covered ways. The pro jects to which this description applies are-1. Blackfriars Embankment, Roadway and Railway. 2. Charing-cross Railway (additional lands for sta tions, &c.) 3. East London Railway (Thames Tun nel line). 4. Great Eastern Railway (Metropolitan Station and Railway). 5. London and Blackwall Railway Extensions, &c. 6. London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Bills, Nos. 1 and 2—(new lines, &c.) 7. London Low Level Railway. 8. London Main Trunk Underground Railway, and connect ing branches. 9. London Union Railways. 10. Metropolitan Grand Union Railways. 11. Metro politan District Railways. 12, Metropolitan Rail way (Extension to Trinity-square, Tower-hill,) 13. North and South London (high level) Junction Railway. 14. North London Railway (additional powers).lls. Oxford-street and City Railway. 16. Thames Viaduct Railway. 17. Tottenham and Farringdon Street Railway. 18. Thames Tunnel Railway. 19. Victoria-station and Themes Em bankment Railway. 20. Courts of Justice Concen tration (acquisition of site). 21. Holborn Valley Improvement. 22. Pneumatic Despatch Company. 23. Tower Subway. The whole of the schemes carefully avoid touch ing churches; indeed, portions of mcst of those in the city are curved in various directions, apparently for the sole purpose of avoiding them. The church yards are not treated with the same respect, as lines are to be carried through many of them, and in several cases very near to the walls of the churches, although the fabrics are to remain untouched. Mr. Haywood observes that some of the projects are de signed with the view of affording complete measures of railway accommodation for the metropolis, and ' others in which the wants of the city in that re• spent have evidently been studied with great care. Most of the designs, - he also adds, bear evidence of being laid oat so as to accord with the views ex pressed in the third report of the Committee of the House of Lords upon Metropolitan Railway Com munication. It should, however, be stated that since the report of Mr. Haywood was prepared seven of the projects above enumerated have either been withdrawn or have not passed standing Orders— namely, Blackfriars Embankments, Roadway and Railway, East London Railway (Thames Tunnel line); London Low Level Railway ; London Union Railways; NOrth and South London . (high level) Junction Railways; Thames Viaduct Railway ; and the Tower Subway. With respect to the Holborn Valley Improve ment, to which a good deal of attention has of late been directed, the scheme which is promoted by the corporation of the city of London, is described as designed "to form a viaduct or raised way across Holborn-valley and new streets and improvements therewith, and for other purposes." It is proposed to take down the property upon both sides of Skin ner-street and Holborn between Hatton-garden and St. Sepulchre's Church, and construct a high level roadway between those two points, and more upon the southern than the northern sides of the existing roadways. Farringdon-street is to be crossed by a bridge, having a minimum central headway of 21 feet. Flights.of steps will be made at the angles of the bridge for purposes of com munication between the upper and lower levels. A bridge will also cross Shoe-lane, leaving a blear headway of 16 feet. The gradient of the new part of the lane will be 1 in 30, and the street will be continued northward, 30ft in width, to a new street which is to be formed. Farringdon-road will be widened as far as West street to the present width of Farringdon-street. The levels of parts of Farringdoa-street and Far ringdon-road are to be altered. A rise will begin from Newcastle-street, with a gradient of 1 in 45, . _ and continue at that elope to West-street, whence there will be a decline northwards with a gradient of 1 in 100 as far as Charles-street. Two new streets are to be made between the upper and lower levels, and both starting from Farringdon-road. The western street is to begin opposite that now in course of formation by the corporation, and join the upper level at Hatton-garden, the gradient being 1 in 45. It is with this street that Shoe-lane will be connected. It will not only connect the upper and lower levels, but will form a direct communication to the new market from Holborn. The eastern street will start a little north of the bridge over Farringdon-street, and join the upper level by St. Sepulchre's Church, at a gradient of lin 45. This will, practically, be in substitution of Snow-hill, and will not only com municate with the viaduct, but, by an improved gradient, with King-street, Smith field, and Long lane. The gradients of Hatton-garden, Ely-place, and of nearly all the courts and places abutting upon the high level roadway will be improved. The scheme, of which this is a general outline, may be subject in the carrying it out to variations both in levels and lines of streets. The area scheduled will admit of much variation. Powers are sought to widen King-street from Snow-hill to Smithfield, and to complete the widening of the western end of Newgate-street. Other powers are asked to form subways for gas and water pipes, and to construct dwellinghouses for the labouring classes. The streets and ways, when formed and completed, ar e to be p l ac ed under the charge of the Commissioners o f Sewers, to be maintained , cleansed, and lighted by them like other public ways within the city. MR.

The record read as follows :—" On the 3d instant, at Ellingtcn, the wife of Mr. Terry, schoolmaster, of a son. Ile spoke in'. distinctly, but was understood to say that, on the sth in stant, at Bond-gate, Ripon, the wife of Mr. Joseph Lons dale, tailor, of a daughter." Electric and International Telegraph Company, The half-yearly meeting of this company was held to-day. The report of the directors stated that the revenue of the company from all sources for the half-year amounted to £137,150, which exceeded that of the corresponding period of 1862 by the sum of £20,076. The total expenditure for working charges and interest on debentures amounted to £86,582, leaving a surplus of net profit on the six months of £50,568. The recommendation of the directors of a divi. dend of £3 10s. for the half-year was agreed to. London and South-Western Railway Company. MEETING-(THIS DAY). The usual half-yearly meeting was held to-day at the Waterloo-station.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE, OXFORD, Wednesday Evening. Although it was thought the severity of the weather would have deterred the Oxonians from rowing over the long course yesterday the crew w,ent down, for the first time, in the afternoon and rowed from Sandford 'to Nune ham railway bridge, where their career was stopped by masses of ice which blocked up the river. It will be seen by the following names that many changes have recently taken place, Mr. Awdrey, of Balliol, having taken Mr. War man's place as No. 2, and Mr. Pocklington having replaced Mr. Brown as stroke, and the crew, although not yet in active training (which they commence this day) have given general satisfaction. Although a change or two may take place, the following gentlemen will probably represent Oxford in this important contest : st lb 1. C. P. Roberts, Trinity College 2. W. Awdrey, Balliol . 3. F. H. Kelly, University . 4. J. C. Parson, Trinity 6. W. B. Jacobson, Christ Church l2 9 6. A. E. Seymour, University 7. M. Brown, Trinity Stroke—D. Pocklington, Brasenose College 11 9 Coxswain—C. R. W. Tottenham, Christ Church. As usual, the Oxonians have a heavy crew, although perhaps not so heavy as the Cambridge, and, exclusive of the coxswain, they will average nearly 12st—a weight which training will somewhat modify. The crew will be steered by Mr: Tottenham, of Christ Church, who will bo remembered as the Etonian coxswain of last year, and the race will, without doubt, take place on the 19th of March about noon: SHIPPING—This Day.

ROYAL COLOSSEIIM.—In addition to the very attractive programme of this established w a d favourite place of resort, a grand carnival festivity took Place yesterday —the proceeds arising from which, by th e liberality of the proprietors, being given to the funds of the Italian Mission in Hatton-garden. The humorous comic vocalist and author, Mr. Dalgiesh Fletcher, gave his services on the occasion, and it is needless to say was highly amusing, and deservedly applauded. The proceedings were further enhanced by the performance of a select band. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—The directors of the Metropolitan Railway Company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors a dividend at the rate of .5 per cent. per annum on the original stock of the company, for the past half-year: Mr. Alderman Hale, A.

The Moscow News has the following—" Spring is fast approaching, and with that season the revo lutionists are about to make fresh arrangements for continuing the struggle. Those preparations have been even already commenced, not only in Gs'Heim and at Cracow, but under the eyes of the military chief of the district of Warsaw, and within 12 miles of that capital. Bands are being formed at the very gates of Warsaw, and the revolut:ouists go so far as to entice Russian soldier. into their ranks."
