This Company is established f or th e p ur p ose o f p u r c h a si n g , property and continuing the business of the well known Oxford and Canterbury Music Halls, so successfully con ducted by the present proprietor, Mr. Charles Morton, for several years pa , t. The Directors, in bringing the present Company before the Mlle, are not inviting subscriptions to an unknown or un tried venture, but to an established and highly remunerative u ndertaking and one which, with the additional means at the command of a Joint-stock Company, may be made still more so. An agreement has been entrred into for the purchase of the 'whole of Mr. Morton's interest in these properties, together With the goodwill of the business and the stock in trade, on terms highly advantat.;eous to the Company, and in order to Show his confidence in its future snoce, , s, he has subscribed for one-fourth of the entire capital, and will continue for ome years the manager. It is the intention of the Company to increase the hotel, accommodation. which has hitherto been found inadequate, and thus materially add to the present large returns. i here is also an excellent private wine trade attached to both establishments, which is capable of considerable extension. It is impossible to show, with certainty, by any statistics, the returns which may be expected from the present under taking, but the certified accounts for the last three years show an annual profit of upwards of 20 per cent. upon the Whole amount of capital, wh chit is contemplated eventually to call up, The present average attendance at the Oxford and Canter bury - Music Raps is about 60,000 a month, and the proposed extension of business will doubtless render the profits of the Undertaking still more remunerative than ever. One. half of the capita has been already applied for, and applications for the remainder should be made to the bankers of the Company, accompanied by a deposit of £1 per share ; 11 no allotment be made he deposit will be returned.

There is no late news of importance from the army of the Potomac. Oa the evening of the Bth inst. the Confederates attacked the works held by Turner's division on the left of the Federal centre. They were repulsed by artillery. At latest ac counts both armies were vigorously strengthening their position. A rumour was circulaEed yester% terday which, however, could be traced to no re• liable source, to the effect that Grant had captured Petersburg and 5,000 prisoners. The Confederate demonstration in Maryland, at first regarded as a mere foraging raid, having now assumed the grander proportions of an invasion, seriously threatening the national capital, absorbs the public attention. After falling back from their first demonstration against Frederick, on the 9th, the Confederate forces concentrated on the Boonsboro' road, and advanced and occupied Frederick, the Federal forces under General Wallace having retreated to the Monocacy river, where they were soon after wards attacked by the Confederates in large force. A desperate battle ensued, lasting from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., when the Federals, after suffering severely in killed, wounded, and prisoners, and losing most of their artillery, were forced to retreat in disorder. Among the prisoners taken by the Confederates was General Tyler. General Wallace retreated to Baltimore. His force was about 10,000 men, while the Confederates are believed to have numbered at least 25,000. After defeating Gene. ral Wallace, the Confederates seem to have been divided into several bodies, and to have immediately moved for the destruction of the railroad communi. cations of Washington and Baltimore, their cam. bined operations being thought to indicate an at. tack upon the latter city, where the greatest excite ment prevailed. The streets were barricaded, business suspended, and no one was permitted to enter or leave the city without a military pass. The Confederates, although continually menacing the city, did not attack it, but directed their atten tion to its railroad and telegraph communications. On the afternoon of the 10th, Governor Brad ford's residence, four miles from Baltimore, was burned by a squad of cavalry. The inmates were permitted to escape, and were informed that the house was destroyed in retaliation for the destruc tion of Governor Letcher's house at Lexington by General Hunter. On the evening of the 10th the Confederates appeared in large force at Elliott's Mills, 16 miles from the city, and, after having destroyed the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad to that point, commenced to destroy bridges on the Northern Railroad con. neeting- Baltimore with Harrisbarg, Penn. The extent of damage sustained by this road is not known, but is believed to be serious. The Balti more, Wilmington, and Philadelphia Railroad was next attacked. Some accounts represent that the bridges over Bush River and Gunpowder Creek were destroyed, but a Philadelphia despatch states that these structures were successfully defended by Federal gunboats. The damage to other parts of the road is known to be great. On the morning of the 11th a passenger train was captured by the Confederates at Magnolia Sta. tion on the Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad, and a number of soldiers and officers, among the latter Major-General Franklin, wore made pri- soners. While detached squads of the Confederates were operating in the vicinity of Baltimore, their main force were concentrated and advanced towards Washington, on the Rockville road. A Philadelphia despatch states that yesterday (12th) a force of at least 15,000 had appeared before the northern defences of Washington, and that fighting was in progress miles from the city. The absence of official intelligence and the inter ruption of railroad and telegraphic communication between Washington and Baltimore and the north, naturally result in the circulation of exciting and contradictory rumours. The capture of Washington even is reported; bat this, although by no means impossible, is highly improbable, as the defences of Washington on the north, although not very formid able, are still of sufficient strength to hold an enemy in check for a long time, and these defences are known to be sufficiently garrisoned. As to the actual strength of the Confederates in Maryland, no definite idea can be formed from the report thus far received. It is said, however, that 38,000 men with 140 pieces of artillery has passed through Frederick, under command of General A. P. Hill, and were moving rapidly to effect a junction with the forces under Earley. If this report be correct the entire invading force must number considerably more than 40,000 men. It is also reported that the commands of Sigel and Sulli van had effected a junction, and that Hunter's advance had occupied Martinsburg on the evening of the 11th. It was rumoured that Gen. Morgan, with a force of 6,000 Confederate mounted infantry, was following Hunter's column. It is not definitely known whether any of Gene ral Grant's troops have been sent North from the James River, bnt it is rumoured that the entire 18th army corps, under General Smith, reached Baltimore on the 11th. Great apprehensions exist in some quarters for the safety of the capital, while in others the fullest confidence in its security is entertained, and the Confederate invasion is regarded as affording Gene ral Grant an exe.llent opportunity to avail himself of the reduced force ef the enemy in his front, and capture Petersburg, The Governor of New Jersey has called upon citizens of that state to volunteer for 30 days' sex+ vive to protect the national capital. The 84th regiment of New York Militia left yesterday for Washingtcn, and several other regi ments are under orders to start for the same point, but the Militia manifest a decided objection to leave the State. Major Gunther, of New York City, has protested against the troops being re moved from the city, asserting his belief that their t ne t f the t h e departure would be a signal for the reepcetteiti° riots of last year. It is therefore capd that troops sent will be from other portions of the State. i u f i e lp i The Governor of Pennsyl vania has earnestl y appealed to the people to n and rather reproaches the Philadelphians e h for short ans for n serviceot displaying more alacrity in responding to his first call. There is no further reliable news'from General Sherman's army. A Memphis despatch, however, states that the Federals were preparing for an immediate advance against Atlanta. Advices from the south-west report all quiet at Little Rock and Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas. The rest of the State, however , was overrun by Confederate guerrillas. In Western Missouri the guerrillas were very COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, JULY 12, P.M. The money market is very stringent, few loans being Effected at less than 12 to 15 per cent.

BRITISH FISHERIES.—The return of the herring fishery of 1863 shows a total of 654,816 barrels cured, 276,880 branded, and 407,761 exported. The num bers are considerably less than in 1862, which was an ex. traordiniu y year, but it cannot be said that the fishing of 1863 was a short one. The experiment of fishing for her rings upon the ocean coasts in winter was repeated, and extended, with success. The returns of the cod and ling fishery show an increase in the quantity cured dried, which was 129,725 cwt, and also in the total quantity exported, which rose to 53,736 cwt. The little:success experienced at Rockall in 1862 prevented vessels being fitted out last sea son to fish there ; and further experience has shown that the high anticipations formed of Rockall for the fishing of cod and ling were illusory, and that its exposed position and other disadvantages • will prevent its ever becoming the valuable fishing bank which at one time it was expected to be. In the year 1863 13,191 boats, manned by 43,358 fishermen and boys, were employed in the herring and cod and ling fisheries, and the estimated value of the boats, nets, and lines was £845,724—an increase in boats and their value as compared with the previous year, but a decrease of 150 in the number of hands. Boats and nets are improv ing, and fishermen are becoming more thrifty and a better conducted class of men. DR. SILYESTER'S PLAN FOR RECOVERY OF THE APPARENTLY DROWNED.—PIace the patient on a fiat surface, face upmost, the shoulders being supported by a cushion or any article of dress at hand. Draw forward the patient's tongue, and fix it by passing an elastic band or piece of string over the tongue and under the chin. Then the operator, who places himself at the patient's head, grasps the arms just above the elbows, and draws them gently and steadily upwards above the head, where they are to be kept for two seconds. The chest being thus expanded air nature abhors a vacuum') rushes into the lungs. The patient's arms are next to be turned down, and pressed for two seconds against the sides of the chest. Air is thereby pressed out of the lungs, and, by repeating this process about fifteen times in a minute, natural breathing may re turn. On that happy sign appearing, heat and stimulants to the circulation are to be applied.—Ckambers's Journal. SIR HUGH ROSE'S PROBABLE SUCCESSOR. — Still speculating on the probable successor of Sir Hugh Rose as Commander-in Chief in India, the Indian journals now speak with great confidence of Sir Sydney Cotton as the man.

BEES AND THE HONEY HARVEST..--A " Bee master" writes to the Times—" I have ten stock' hives. I never destroy or kill mybees. I look on the system of the sulphur match as barbarous and unprofitable. I leave each family on an average not less than 251 b of honey for their winter stores, and the surplus only I take away. Should any hive swarm, which I can generally pre vent, and the remaining stock be therefore deficient pro vision for the winter, I feed them in the course of the early spring with barley-sugar. This and other little attentions endear the bee-master to his bees, as they are very susceptible of gratitude and have long memories. A hive is very like a church—when, in May, it increases rapidly in numbers and the temperature rises inside, you either increase their accommodation in area or in height, or you will have a secession. Should a secession take place, bees set an example ecclesiastics might copy. The new church never falls out with the old one. Side by side they work in perfect harmony, believing there is plenty of food for both. The only incidental mischief maker is the wasp ; whether he be prelate or presbyter I cannot say, but I know well he is a thief and intrude!, and after a fight the bees, who in this matter are rigid non•intrusionists, eject, maim, or kill him—and be de i.e e reply The thatonly vice t h ey serves it. Queen Victoria's Court is modelled on the apiarian Queen's. You may see the Queen be! . by means among never of my glass windows going her rounds, and. giving orders with her royal ladies, who never turn their backs on her Majesty. The exceptional instance occurred on one me . a sion, when it became necessary to give . a rather sickly establishment rum and sugar, of wh:c h . they drank to excess and got drunk. As long as the stimulus lasted the monarchy became a fierce democracy, and Queen and sub jectsbees is their passionate liking for rum and strong ale. But They are round, fat, and lazy, making much the teetotaler would care about either, unless it is pressed up on them. My bees a t present have begun the massacre of were confounded in t f h ar e ! tne y the drones. Thes e are a . sort of Benedictine monks, like Brother Ignatius, who, prefer enjoyment to noise, and eating of stores to which they do not contribute. About this time the Queen, and her active subjects, have awa kened to the truth of the text, •' If any will not work, neither should he eat," and the;drones are being garotted. But you want to hear about the harvest ? In one square box there are 401 b of honey, and a corresponding super rapidly filling up, there is likely to be for me as much more. In three Scotch or Ayrshire hexagonal hives, which I have found to answer hard work. best of any, th e three supers are in two almost full, and in one there is at least 401 b weight in the super, and over the super is a bell glass, with 71b or 81b additional. In one of Neighbour's very beautiful straw hives, I have two bell glasses almost full, and, a month ago, I re moved from this hive a very beautiful glass of honey. In one of Petit's lateral hives, the bees passed the sub terranean archway a month ago, and have nearly filled this compartment. On this also I have placed a super bell glass, which is beautifully stored. From a common cottage straw hive I removed a bell glass super, three weeks ago, weighing 181 b. This season I shall have nearly 2001 b weight of surplus honey, and yet leave in e . ach hive more than enough to last the producers till April,, 1865. Why should not cottagers cultivate bee!? There is nothing to pay for pasture, very little labour is required, and that la bour amusing, in taking oars of them, and for very early virgin honey there may be ha d is 6d a lb. Th e p oo r cot tager might thus easily pay his rent. CRINOLINE is fast disappearing in Parisian circles, says the Lady's Newspaper.

At 3 p.m. yesterday the Hornet sailed again from Spithead with the troops still on board for Gravesend, where they will disembark, the left wing of the 74th proceeding thence to Edinburgh, the time-expired men to the depots of their respective regiments, and the invalids retracing their course westward to the Royal Victoria Military Hospital in South ampton Water. The invalids could have been transferred from the ship when at Spithead Netley, but it was under stood that the terms of the charter party provided only for the disembarkation of the men at Gravesend. The owner of the Hornet stands by those terns, and the Horse Guards authorities must therefore sutrait and provide railway transport for the men from Gravesend to Netley. The Bacchante, screw feigate, 39 guns, Capt. Donald M. L. Mackenzie, arrived at Spithead on Thursday, about 2 p.m. from the Pacific. She wiles; fro nu Valparaiso on the evening of the 14th of April, with a freight of 125,000d015. on board for Rio Janeiro. At Valparaiso were her Majesty's ships Leander, bearing the broad pennant of Commodore Harvey, and Alert, Commander Majendie—light southerly winds and calms were experienced after leaving Valparaiso until the 26th. The vessel made very little progress, hav ing at that date only reached lat. 36.57 S. ; long. 84.24 W. Beyond this point strong northerly and westerly winds were fallen in with and continued until Cape Horn was rounded on the afternoon of the sth May. The Falkland Islands were passed on the 9th May, fresh westerly w i n d s prevail ing. On the 10th May the ship was under d ou bl e -reefed sa carried away u rs e t w o a p a i at s, repaired and sent up again, but on the same day the c o tgoing nineslings. On knots, the 14th it had been when the main yard star board cutter was carried away in a heavy roll of the sea. From the 16th of May to the 22d the wind was very light. On the 22d of May there was a calm, and steam was got up in two boilers. At noon on the 25th the vessel anchored in the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, and found at anchor there her Majesty's ships Egmont, Curlew, Stromboli, and Industry. Two deaths occurred on the voyage from Valparaiso to Rio —Henry Harris, private Royal Marine Light Infantry, re ceived from her Majesty's ship Nereus, and Wm. Harford, gunner of the Royal Marine Artillery, serving on board the ship. The Bacchante having discharged her freight and received on board naval invalids from her Majesty's ships on the station, sailed from Rio anchorage for England on the Ist of June, under steam with two boilers in use, escort ing the British ship Sophy out to sea until 20 miles S.S.E. of the bay. Then the Sophy, in obedience to a signal from the Bacchante, cast off the warps of her towing tug, and stood out to sea under her canvas, a Federal man of war steamer being reported at the same time to be in eight and in pursuit. The Bacchante crossed the equator on the 15th June, in long. 30 W., and the Tropic of Cancer on the 26th June in long. 42.35 W. Vice Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., embarked on board the Fire Queen steam yacht, Staff Commander Paul, on Saturday, and proceeding out to Spithead inspected the Bacchante. The vessel after her inspection weighed anchor and steamed into Portsmouth harbour to dismantle and pay out of commission. • The Royal Sovereign, 5, iron-cased turreteship, Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., was officially inspected in Ports mouth harbour, on commission, by Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., Naval Commander-in-Chief at Ports mouth. She will go out of Portsmouth harbour this morn ing, and, according to pre-existing arrangements, proceed to off Osborne, where her Majesty's has announced her in tention of paying a visit to the ship. On Tuesday, most probably, the Royal Sovereign will anchor in St. Helen's roads, preparatory to commencing her trial cruise. A field-day of peculiar interest took place on Friday, at Woolwich, in which the regular troops in garrison and the Kentish Volunteers were combined. About 25,000 or 30,000 spectators were calculated to have been present. By a most judicious arrangement the flagstaff was transferred from the eastern to the western side of the common. Tho space at the rear, being well sheltered with trees, was appointed by Gan. Warde as the reserved position for private carriages and persons admitted by tickets of reserve. Tho corps of Volunteers from different parts of the country commenced forming in the Royal Arsenal soon after one o'clock. The whole of the interior of the common and barrack-field were kept clear of spectators, and the roads leading thence were closed at 2 o'clock p.m. The proceedings commenced at 3 o'clock on the arrival of Viscount Sydney, lord-lieut. of the county, who was received on the ground by Major-Gen. Warde, C. 8., commanded the garrison, attended by his Per sonaLstaff, There were also present Col. M'Murdo, Inspector of Volunteers; Lieut. •Col. Thorold s Brigadier and A,D.C. Lieut. Hudson,2Bth Kent RifieVolunteere ; Lieut.-Col. Vis count Hardinge, Brigadier; Lieut.-Col. Sir E. Campbell, Assist.-Inspector of Volunteers; Anderson, Lieut.-Col. Ellis, Lieut.-Col. Parkyn, and other mounted officers. Those to whom had been awarded the prize won at the Volunteer contest at Gravesend having been ranged in front of the General and Staff, Viscount Sydney addressed them, and informed them that he was glad to find there was no diminution in their numbers. They had been compli mented, he said, by General Hay, and their firing had been good. He had formerly delivered the prizes himself, but on this occasion he bad asked Lady Sydney to perform that part. The names were then called over, and each one re ceived his prize. The recipients then took their places in their various battalions, The General and attendant offi cers shortly afterwards proceeded to the front, and ware re ceived with a general salute ; after which he inspected the troops, who were ranged in the following order :—The Royal Horse Artillery, in co mmand of Col. E. Price, C. 8., B Brigade, on the right of area at right angles to the lines; the Royal Marine Light Infantry, in command of Lieut.- Marriott, on the right of the lin e in quarter-distance column, right in front, with their right resting en the left of the Royal Horse Artillery —the different corps of Volun teers in a line of contiguous quarter-distance columns on the left of the Royal Marines, the Ist brigade consisting of the Ist administrative battalion, Blackheath-2d ditto, Penshurst-3d ditto, Maidstone-4th and sth Canterbury and Cranbrooke, in command of Lieut. Col. Thorold—and the 2d brigade comprising the 26th Royal Arsenal (two battalions), Woolwich, Ist ad ministrative brigade Graves. end, and 10111 and 14th Arsenal and Dockyard brigades of Artillery, in command of Lieut. Col. Hardinge. Four field batteries, i n command of Colonel J. H. Smyth, C. 8., formed on the left of the infantry at right angles, and two 40-pounder batteries, in command of Lieut. Col. Austen, in line in the rear. The ground was well kept by a detach ment of the Royal Artillery, in command of Col. the Hon. G. T. Devereux, &&A, and Capt. Webb, Royal Marines, assisted by a large body of the local and metropolitan police in charge of Ins p ector L invell, and und er the spe cial• superintendence of Mr llall alien. The weather was very fine dating the review, and the w h o l e want off with- I out accident of any kind. shortly before four o'clock the troops commenced marching past in quick time, the Royal Horse Artillery and field batteries in open columns of batteries at h a lf interval, and the infantry in open column of companies. The bands of Volunteer corps marched past at the head of their corps, but did not play. The bands of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines formed up in. front of the flagstaff and played during the marching past. After marching past the force divided into two corps, and carried out the . attack and defence of an in trenched camp. The attacking force f orce formed on the top of the common under cover of . the heavy batteries. The supposed to be posit defending body, eupp ion in front of their i n t renc h reen ts, were draw n up in front of the Ha-ha sepa• rating the common from the barrack field. Soon after 4 o'clock a rocket was fired to announ ce the commencement of the attack. Operations immediately commenced by the defenders shelling the enemy reply, s positi on on the hill. The guns were discharged in on 'which the de fenders advanced, heavy su pported by Hors e A rt i llery and 2.0-vered vered by skirmishers. I n the meantime the enemy de ployed, throwing out s kirmishers to ch ec k the advance. The defenders having advanced, depl o yed, skirmishers were re • called on both sides, and a heavy fi re opened from both lines. The defenders retired slowly, covered by skirmishers, the enemy advancing supported by field artillery. A stand was then made at the Ha-ha, over which the defenders re tired, throwing bridges across to do so. The enemy still advanced, but was laying down bridges for himself (the de fenders having removed theirs and retired into their in trenehments) and was met by a heavy fire from the works, which prevented an assault and compelled him to retire. The defenders pursued. The troops then formed on the original ground, advanced in line and broke off in divisions from the field about half-past 6 . The marching past of the various corps of volunteers , and many of their movements, were highly applauded. It was remarked during the mul tiplicity of artillery and infantry manoeuvres commanded throughout byMajor-Gene ral Ward; the newly-appointed commander of the garrison, that although an officer of the Royal Horse Artillery his experience perfectly qualified him for the command of the infantry, the movements of which ho directed with equal facility and judgment. After the review the General entertained a numerous party of guests at the Royal Artillery mess, including Viscount Sydney, Viscount Hardinge, and the officers commanding, Sir Shafto Adair, and many others, The following appointments and promotions were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Lieutenants Prescot W.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST, The report of the directors of this company states that the amout of capital raised to the 30th of June, 1863, is £12,094,099. The amount of capital expended during the half-year is £389,082. The opening of new branches and the approaching requirements for the South London lines have necessitated an increase in the plant ; the directors are making the necessary preparations, as the successful working of the railway depends chiefly on the pos session of an adequate stock of engines and vehicles. The high price of money has checked applications for de benture stock ; still a further sum of £24,023 has been issued during the past half year. The gross revenue has been £466,301, showing an increase 0f:£3,486 over the cor responding half-year. The traffic is still subject to the natural effect of the large reduction of fares and rates made the Ist of August, 1863, but the expectations of the directors have already to some extent been realised, as the traffic is con tinually increasing, and there is no cause to doubt that the returns after the Ist August next will contrast favourably. The total traffic receipts for the half year ending June 30, amounted to £451,461 against £445,610 for the correspond ing half of 1863, showing an increase of £5,844. The total working expenses and renewals amounted to £220,273 or 48i per cent. against £224,394 or 60 1.3 d per cent. for the corresponding period, showing a decrease of £4,121 in the expenditure, although there was an increase in the mileage of 201,104 miles run by the trains. The renewals for the past half year amounted to £7,507, and the corresponding half of last year to £9,258. The cost of working per train mile was 2s 61d against 2s 111 d in the corresponding half of 1863. The lines promoted by the South Eastern Railway Company affecting the interests of this company were with drawn, satisfactory arrangements made with that company as regards the traffic from Tunbridge-wells to Eastbourne, and all questions at variance adjusted—the directors believe this will prevent any future collision, and thus strengthen the friendly relations of the two companies. The directors have succeeded in obtaining powers for a direct access to the suburban lines from Peckham across the Dulwich Col lege estate. These powers will enable the company so com pletely to accommodate the whole of their district that it is hoped further important extensions may not be required for some time. The branch lines to Bognor and to Seaford were opened for public traffic on the Ist of June. The opening of the South London line will be somewhat retarded by the widening of the Greenwich viaduct; but the works will be pushed on with rapidity. The net amount at the credit of the revenue account is £122,603, out of which the directors recommend the payment of a dividend of 21 per cent. for the half year, leaving a balante of £428. COCKERMOUTH, KESWICK, AND PENRITH, The directors of this company had made arrangements for opening the line on the Ist of August, but the Government inspector required heavier " chairs" to be laid at the ends of the rails than those used. The inspector was commu nicated with, and a reply has been received, stating that although he will insist on heavier chairs being substituted, yet, if all else is satisfactory, he will be willing to sanction the opening of the line for passenger traffic.' It appears the directors have ordered the heavier chairs, and will substi tute them gradually, so that the opening of the line will not, it is expected, be delayed beyond the middle of August. ST.

The traffic receipts on this company's line, 322 miles open, amounted for the month of June to 73,654 dols for passen gers and mails, and 240,867 dols. for freight—total, 314,521 dole., being at the rate of 246 dole. per mile per week. The total receipts from the let of January to the end of June on the 322 miles amounted to 1,389,539 dole. SAN PAULO (BRAZILIAN). The report of the directors states that the claims of the contractors for extras have been settled by a satisfactory arrangement,which not only liquidated the claims originally put forward, but which precludes any further demands of a similar nature. The contractors continue to assure the directors that a considerable saving on the time stipulated by their contract will probably be effected. The directors state that a call of £4 per share will be payable at the end of August next, and that a further and final call of £1 per share will be necessary before the end of the year. The re port of Mr. J. Brunlaes, engineer-in -chief, states that dur ing the past six months the progress of the work has, on the whole, been satisfactory. The first section of 13 miles is practically finished. On the second section 37 miles in length, the first lift on the incline is so far completed that the stationary engine is at work, and generally on the other three lifts the works are so far advanced that the rails will be laid on the top of the Serra in September next, and it is expected that all the stationary engines will be erected and at:work early next year. The Serra viaduct will still take some nine or ten months for erection, but this does not delay the general progress, as a temporary road has been laid past it, over which the permanent way materials can be hauled. From the top of the Serra to San Paulo the work will be completed during the present dry seasen, after which the ballasting and rail-laying will be proceeded with. On the third. section, 38 miles in length, rapid progress has been made with the earthworks generally, and it is expected that in three or four months they would be completed, The ma terial in the tunnel and summit cutting continues of an un favourable nature, and consequently the progress is but slow. Labour is abundant, and the weather has been very favourable. The capital account shows an expenditure of £1,767,493, leaving a balance of £104,873. A Portrait of Shakipere—BY Himself. (A Card sold at the Dramatic College Fete.) A sweeter or more loveable creature Framed in the prodigality of Nature The spacious World cannot contain again. His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him, That Nature might stand up and say, To all the WORLD, this was a man I He was ever gracious, had a tear for pity, And a hand open as day for melting charity I His bounty was as boundless as the sea, His love as deep; the more he gave the more He had, for be was infinite. Hear him but reason in divinity, And all -admiring with an inward wish You would desire to see him made a prelate. Hear him debate on commonwealth affairs, of love I You'd say it hath been all in all his study. List his discourse on war, and you shall hear TurnThFamiliare him Gordian a . s o h any a4 c r a ot u fe e .t h o policy, The when A r.qrful battle rendered you in musi c, s The air, a chartered libertii , is still, h unlooseen he e speaks And the mute wonder lurketh in in's ears To steal his sweet and honied sentences. Our poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Did glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven And as imagination bodied forth The forms of things unknown, our poet's pen Turned them to shapes, and gave to airy nothing A local habitation and a name, Found tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everthing. A THEATRICAL " ASIDE."—A difficulty between an actor and his manager gave riee to en odd scene the other night at the Theatre des Arts, at Rouen. During the performance of "Nos Alliees," M. Delacroix, who was plaing the chief role, suddenly paused in his part, and said —" Gentlemen, —Allow me to interrupt myself an instant, and tell you something. I have just been dismissed by M. Brief. Now, I depend on my engagament for my bread, and as I have not deserved this treatment I appeal to you. The director has in this case looked more to himself than the public. This will never do. If you agree with me, be good enough to applaud me ; those who are of a different opinion can hiss." (Applause.) " Thank you."
