RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday a t the Euston-station; the Marquis of Chandos in the chair. Mr. C. E. Stewart, the secretary, read the notice con vening the meeting, and the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed, The CHAIRMAN said theywould perceive, from the state ment of the accounts, that the receipts for the half-year ending the 30th of June last exceeded those of the corre sponding period of 1853 by nearly 100,0 00 /. A grea t goods por tion of this had arisen from the increase in traffic. The goods traffic had increased considerably , bnloyt only more regularly than the passenger traffic ; a was the increase in the goods traffic shown on their line, but it was the case with railways generally. He found by the report for 1853, issued by the Board of Tradwe,asons3rapielr ways, that in 1849 the percentage of pa ssen gers o cent, of the whole receipts, and the goods 46 per cent. f ; but in 1853 their position was ratherreversed,more than 47, and of the percent age receipts for passengers was goods more than 52 per cenft.thshe okwiinnggdeam.He adverted considerable in crease in the goods traffic, to this, as the great increase had been in the goods tra ffi c, and consequently the work in g exp enses were much heavier upon that description of traffic than upon the passenger traffic. Having a considerable increase in their tra ffi c during the year, it. wa s necessary to mention that they had also an increase in their capital expenditure, which now amounted to 31,143,8781., and all of which was en titled to receive interest or dividend. The sum required to pay the same dividend this half-year upon the capital expended was 20,0001. more than that at the corre sponding period of 1853. The proprietors would also per ceive that the working expenses were considerably heavier than at the corresponding period. This arose chiefly from two causes—namely, the increase in the rate of wages and th e great rise during the past twelve months in the price of stores and all materials required for railways. Those two causes not only affected the additional receipts, but ex tended to the whole traffic on the railway, increasing the working expenses from 39 . 82 per cent. to 42'46 per cent. There was also an increase in the rates and taxes and general charges. The traffic on the line had been con siderably obstructed, and in some places entirely stopped, during the first week or two of the half year, in conse quence of the snow storm. This had increased their ex penses to some extent while clearing the line, and reduced their receipts durfbg the time the line was idle. With regard to the balance they could carry over this half-year, it would be larger than that at the corresponding period of 1853, after paying the same rate of dividend, 5 per cent., on the increased capital. The balance amounted to 41,197 k, but from this must be deducted 14,676/., being arrears due from the Chester and Holyhead Company, and paid during the half-year. After deducting this sum, and allowing for the balance they commenced the half-year with, they would carry over a net balance this half-year of 33,200/. against 29,000/. at the corre sponding period of last year. There was another feature - in the accounts which he thought satisfactory ; it was with respect to the position of branch and leased lines. In June, 1853, the deficiency that had to be niet by the company on the Preston and Wyre, North Union, Man chester, Buxton , and Midland and other lines amounted to 42,0501. ; but' in June, 18.54, in consequence of the ge neral increase of traffic on those lines, the deficiency amounted, to only 31,0001., showing an improvement in this respect of 11,0001. In the guarantee on the North Union Railway there was a deficiency in the half-year ending June 30, 1853, of 1,079/., while there had been a profit of 7641. in this past half-year, showing an increase in the receipts of 1,800/. The Buckinghamshire traffic at the corresponding period of last year showed a deficiency of 10,0001., but during the past half-year it amounted only to 12,0001., showing an improvement of 7,000/. This was due in a great measure to the opening of the junction line with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, by which a considerable amount of traffic was brought over the-Buckinghamshire line, and also over the main line of the London and North-Western. He then adverted to an item in the accounts of 11,900/., paid for land, with a view to show that it w a s p a id i n 30 or 43 sums, in settle ment of old claims, and that it was not a new matter. Looking at the increase of traffic on the branches during the half-year, and comparing it with the increase in the ex penditure on capital account for the accommodation of the traffic, he came to the conclusion that the latter on the whole was a judicious expenditure ; and not only paid its 5 per cent., but would tend in future years to increase the traffic. The goods traffic required large and extensive ac commodation, and it was necessary they should provide for it. In order that the proprietors may not be under the impression that they entered into Parliamentary contests unnecessarily he had a list prepared of the 7 bills they pre sented to Parliament in the present session, or in which their interests were concerned in promoting. There were presented by other parties bills affecting in some was or other their interests or charging the company with undue costs, or to obtain undue and unfairpo wers over the line orstalions —in all 23 bills. Many of those bills might not at present have affected them to any large extent, but they would eventually have materially affected their interests. Several bills were introduced to Parliament which would have sad dled them with a very undue proportion of charge for spe cial and local benefit. But to show that they had not in curred needless expense in opposing bills, out of the 23 which were presented, in 13 cases the bills were either withdrawn, or protective clauses were inserted, or the ob jectionable provisions expunged, without any appearance for the company before the committees. There were some other bills, upon which it became necessary, in the opinion of the directors, to appear by counsel in Parliament. The Great Western Company, for the purpose of obtaining compulsory powers over the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton railways, for the special accommodation of the broad gauge, for the amalgamation of the Shrewsbury and Cheater and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com panies, and a bill to introduce the mixed gauge—the broad gauge, in fact—into the Cannock Chase district to the east ward of the main line. There was also the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Bill. He thought it right to mention those par ticular bills, which they felt it their duty to oppose, in order that proprietors might judge whether it was not actually necessary for the interests of the company that they should interfere. The results of their opposition were these :—ln the South Staffordshire district, the Cannock Chase district, the united scheme of the Great Western and the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Companies for the introduction of the broad gauge east ward of the main line had been rejected, and the line of the South Staffordshire on the narrow gauge had been sanc tioned by Parliament. He believed the proprietors would admit that was a result worth contending for. (Hear.) The next was a bill of the Great Western for compulsory powers over the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line in favour of the broad gauge. This bill they petitioned against,, considering that after Parliament had sanctioned their junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton line, it would have destroyed the utility of that junction to grant compulsory powers to the broad gauge. That bill they joined in opposing, and it was re jected. The Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax was opposed by them in the Howse of Commons to obtain clauses protective of their interests, and those clauses were acceded to and arranged in the House of Lords. Thst was an opposition necessary for the protection of the interests of the com pany. There was also the two bills of the Great Western, one for the amalgamation of the Shrewsbury and Binning ham and the Shrewsbury and Chester, and the other sanc tioning traffic arrangements with those companies. The sanctionedlatter was withdra wn , an d th e other was . by Parliament, but not until clauses had been inserted pro tective of the company's interests and making it necessa r y for them to obtain the di s ti nc t an d full approval of the Board of Trade to the proposal to introduce the broad gauge upon the line, a portion of which was the joint pro perty of this company, and the Shrewsbury and Birming ham company. It was the wish of the directors to avoid such contests and the necessity of appearing in Parliament, but when bills were presented which might materially in terfere with the interests of the company and their powers over their own property, the directors thought it necessary to oppose them, and they had done so, as he had shown, not unsuccessfully. (Applause.) With regard to one bill, the Shrewsbury amalgamation with the Great Western, that had been 'passed by Parliament, deciding the owner ship of the line, dealing with the gauge question. Looking at the result of the Parliamentary session in relation to what was called the private legislation of the House, he thought the results had been such as to put an end to a great extent to those causes of difference which had long existed between this and other companies, and he trusted that, as the truce which he had told them before existed between this company and the Great-Western for the present session extended over the next session, as re garded new lines, with the exception of the South Stafford shire, it would certainly not be the fault of the directors if any new causes of difference should arise hereafter. (Applause.) With respect to the position of this company with. other companies, nothing was of more importance to • the development of their traffic and the increase of their receipts than the most cordial agreement with all those com panies whose traffic passed over their line, and whose lines were in connexion with their own. He believed nothing could be done to develope the traffic on those lines work ing harmoniously and in concert with them which would notat the same time add to their own receipts. He then ad verted to the Facility Clauses Act passed in the present sea l:laian; which he believed would prot e ct th em f rom aggress i on . looking at the report of Mr. Cardwell's committee, he could not see the results which were anticipated from enormousu'4 repor t, expenseNo t s o tephad been taken to diminish the i m n o g d i e nj te ur w hich they were subjected in oppos wilschsethres to protect their property.

The increase in the charge to capital for locomotives, during the same period, amounted to 262,1081., or 26 per cent. ; for carriages, to 56,6331. or 13 per cent. ; and for waggons, to 351,4921, or 69 per cent. ; total increase of capital for working stock 670,233/. or 34 per cent. " The short branch connecting the Buckinghamshire Railway with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton, near Oxford, was opened early in April. The line between Claydon and Bicester has been doubled, and, al though the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way is as yet incomplete, a portion being still worked as single line, the traffic is carried on as well to the mutual advantage of the companies as to the increase of the public accommodation ; and the bill introduced in the present session by the Great Western Company, who sought special and compulsory powers for working the traffic on the broad gauge over the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company's line, has been rejected by Parliament. The directors have to report that, since the special general meeting, held on the 21st of June, the following measures, promoted by this company, have been sanctioned by Par liament :—A. bill authorising a reference to arbitration of all matters in difference with the West London Company, so as to effect a complete settlement between that com pany and the London and North-Western and Great Western Companies, on equitable terms. A bill reducing the capital of the Shropshire Union, and authorising the lease of that undertaking to this company. A bill to au thorise the transfer to this company of the Haydon-square branch of the Blackwell Railway Company ; for partition of the Wolverhampton joint station ; for extinguishing the right of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company to use the Stour Valley Railway and New-street station at Bir mingham, and for other purposes. The Shrewsb ur y and Birmingham directors have succeeded in again setting aside, for a time, on technical grounds, the award of the referee selected by themselves to settle the terms for their use of the Stour Valley Railway and of the Birmingham station. An appeal has, by the advice of counsel, been made to the higher courts, as a less costly process than en tering upon a fresh reference. Parliament has sanctioned the bill for making a railway from Stockport to Disley and. Whaleybridge ; also a bill promoted by the South-Stafford shirt; Company for a line on the narrow gauge from near Walsall to Cannock, rejecting the line on the mixed gauge, promoted by the Great Western Company. The Shrews. bury and Birmingham and Shrewsbury and Chester Rail ways have been amalgamated with the Great Western Company, subject, however, to clauses protecting the interests of this company, and which prohibit any appli cation to Parliament for power to extend the exceptional gauge. beyond Wolverhampton, 'unless the Board of Trade shall hereafter, and five months at least prior to the commencement of the session of Parliament in which such application shall be made, have reported (and published their report) that, for reasons stated in such report, it would, in their judgment, be for the advantage of the public that the broad gauge should be so extended, of added, or laid down, and then only subject to such conditions as to the use of the said broad gauge, and the maintenance and continued working and use of the narrow gauge by the Great Western Railway Company as to the said board shall seem expedient.' Parliament having thus dealt with the gauge question, and other matters in dispute, your directors trust that there may now be a termination of the costly struggle which has existed for so many years. The working of the North Staffordshire lines in cordial co-operation with this company has resulted in the mutual advantage to the co-operating parties, and, at the same time, in an increased public accommodation and conve nienc3, the full benefit of which, however, cannot be experienced till a complete amalgamation is obtained. Preparatory to the reintroduction, in the next session, of the bill for effecting such amalgamation, and in order to remove the obstacle which alone prevented the sanc tion of Parliament in the present session, a proposition has been made to the canal interest, offering to make over to them the Trent and Mersey Canal on fair terms. The. proprietors are aware that, since the opening of the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, there has been an interchange of traffic between that company and this on friendly terms, under an agreement for a limited period ; and the directors have now come to the conclusion that the time has arrived for establishing more intimate and fixed relations with that company. Having given this subject the most mature consideration, and having exa mined into the resources of the district occupied by the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Company, the directors have agreed to the heads of an arrangement under which the lines of the two companies are to be treated as practically one interest, so as to give to the public the fullest ad van tage of both lines, and to the respective proprietors the greatest results which can be obtained. Although the ad vantages of the arrangement may appear at the outset to preponderate in favour of the Manchester and Sheffield Company, the directors are satisfied that it will result at an early date in material and increasing benefit to both. The directors have, on former occasions, expressed a strong interest in the completion of the Worcester and Hereford Railway; and, considering the expediency of opening, as speedily as possible, the vast resources of South Wales, by an uninterrupted route, to the Midland districts and-to the metropolis, the directors recommend that, to insure the speedy completion of this undertaking, this company should concur with the Midland and other companies interested in any application to Parliament which may be necessary. The proprietors are aware that considerable preparations have been made in anticipation of working the Newport, A.bergavenny„and Hereford Railway; circumstances, how ever, have arisen which have compelled the directors to decline proceeding with the working arrangements on the terms proposed. It has been intimated, however, to the Newport and Abergavenny board that this com pany will willingly assist, by friendly co-operation, in developing the traffic of that line. The attention of the proprietors has been called to the circumstance of the great increase in the traffic being principally in the goods department. This, unavoidably, has involved the necessity of new and extensive warehouses, wharves, sheds, and other conveniences. At Camden-station it has been found necessary to remodel the whole arrange ments, in order to provide that increased accommodation which is necessary for efficiently and economically conduct ing the traffic. The plan of the proposed works has under gone much consideration; and the estimated cost of ade quately providing both for goods and coals is 103,850/. Besides this sum, a considerable expenditure is required, in order that the accommodation in each department throughout the line shall keep pace with the growing traffic. The particulars are shown in a tabular form at the end of this report, and the directors request the proprietors to authorise the specified outlay. From the statement of the half-year's acconnt, the net proceeds are 529,516/. Os. sd. • to which add the balance carried from last account 86,0311: 9s. id. ; total 615,5471. Os. 6d. ; less further allowances or renewal of rails (abstract II.), 21,887/. 16s. 10d. ; showing a disposable balance of 593,6591. 12s. Bd. The directors recommend a dividend of 21. 10s. per cent. for the last six months, amounting to 552,46[1. 14s. 6d., leaving a balance of 41,1971. 18s. 2d. to be carried forward to the next half year's account." An abstract of the statement of accounts has appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN then moved, "That the report, with the half-yearly statement of accounts, be received and adopted, and that it be printed and circulated among the pro prietors." Mr. BENSON seconded the motion. Mr. UPCROFT said, he believed that their annual income was reduced at least 100,000/. by losses or guarantees, rents, &c., to other lines, and that the 86,000/. balance, which they were reported to have had in hand when they last met, would be insufficient to pay the arrears for Parliamentary and legal expenses. Up to 1847 the same system of manage, meat which still prevailed in this company existed in the Brighton Company. In 1848, however, the stock of the latter company had fallen so low that it was determined to adopt a new system, and it was resolved to have nothing to do with further branches or extensions, but to exclu sively attend to the development of the lines they already possessed ; secondly, to incur no law or Parliamentary ex penses, but be at peace with their neighbours ; and, lastly, that the capital account should be closed. (Hear, hear.) Now, what had been the result of this policy ? Their in come had gradually increased, their dividend had been raised from 21 to 5 per cent., and their stock was in March last selling in the market at 96, while that of the North- Western with An equal dividend was at 92. (Hear, hear.) That was the result of the Brighton policy, while the pro ceedings of this company had reduced the value of their stock, which stood in 1847 at 176, but was reduced in May of the present year to 96. Whether, under these circum stances, some changes were not required in their present system of management he thought was a subject well worthy of consideration, in order to preserve the company from ruin. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HADLEY said, it was quite time the proprietors should take the management of their affairs into their own hands. He concluded by moving an amendment to the effect that the report be not adopted, which was not seconded. A long discussion ensiled, in the course of which Captain Woodgate, R.N., Mr. Dickenson, Mr. F. Smith, Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Howard, complained of the manage ment and the general state of the company's affairs. Mr. PUNCHER remarked that in all the station construc tions of the company there had always been some blunder or another. No sooner was a btation built than it was found to be inconvenient. With a capital of upwards of 30,000,0001., the company ought to be able to command talent equal to prevent such mistakes. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN remarked that the " blunders" com plained of arose from the fact of the increase of traffic having surpassed the anticipations oven of the most san guine. After some further discussion, the motion for the adop tion of the report was carried. Resolutions were passed declaring a dividend of 21. 10s. per 1001. stock, and so on in proportion on shares of a lower nominal amount; electing Messrs. Du Boulay, J. Har greaves, J. Peckup, J. Tyner, and J. N. Walker, the audit committee for the ensuing year ; appointing Messrs. Ban bury and It. W. Moore auditors of the accounts of the Coventry and Nuneaton Railway, and voting them 201. for their services; authorising the consolidation of certain shares into the general capital stock of the company miTtre.eMo ALINS brought forward his resolution, that a com mittee orhe safety 12 sha shareholders lder s prosperity be appointed that greatt oco companyns. de r in. for ward a similartfeNs what t d be best secured.

It is much to be regretted that the disputes which have arisen between the authorities and the engine•drivers and firemen of the London and North-Western Railway has re sulted in a general strike of those men opposed to the con tract system throughout the southern division of the line. The intimation was first received per telegraph by the authorities at Euston station before the half-yearly general meeting of the company, which was held yeAterday, had terminated, that the Rugby men had refused en 12 " 1 in masse to take out any trains after four o'clock, and 542,391 625, 5 5 5 `-'''''" a subsequent telegraphic message announced that the ---- -- nrt Birmingham men had also struck, and refused to work £1,232,138 £1,330,128 £97,9-A, their trains.

It ap pears that the turn-out at Rugby and Birmingham had been carried out without concert with the Loudon men, and the latter had no intimation of what had taken place till the telegraphic message before referred to had reached Euston station. From,that moment it was an understood thing that those men who had actually signed to take out their trains were about to perform their final trip, and that on their return they should not go out again. It was ultimately resolved that no more should go out, and at half-past ten last night a body of the engine-drivers went to the locomotive foreman at Camden, and intimated to him that no more trains would be taken out by the men, and they were immediately ordered off the premises. The ground for this determination on the part of the men is the alleged unfair treatment they received when before the lo comotive committee on Wednesday, and their belief that they have no hope of a redress of their alleged grievances. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the Euston Station, Sir H. Verney in the chair. The report stated that the warrants for the approaching dividend would be issued to the proprietors on the 18th of August. The short line forming the junction between the Buckinghamshire Railway and the narrow guage of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway near Oxford was opened early in April last, and it has brought a considerable accession of traffic to the Buckinghamshire line. The junction line at Bletchley will be ready for use next month. Active exertions continue to be made by the London and North-Western Company to develope the re sources of the district. The traffic on the line is increasing, and the directors believe that, with the further extension of the railway system, a largo additional traffic will be brought upon the railway. The revenue accounts showed a balance at the banker'sof 5931. after payingthe last divi dend of 24,683/. being at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on 1,245,0001. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, adverted to the increase that had taken place in the traffic. The junction line had brought them a considerable amount of traffic, and from the exertions made to de velope the resources of the line, they had no doubt that the result would be very satisfactory. Resolutions were passed adopting the report and re electing the retiring auditors. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

ABERDEEN, Wednesday.—The writ moved for in the House of Commons on Saturday, in consequence of Ad miral Gordon having accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, has been received here. Admiral Gordon has also just issued an address to the electors, in which the following passage occurs : " Gentlemen—Having in the discharge of my profes sional duty, in the present circumstances of the country, assumed the command of a naval station, I feel that it will no longer be in my power satisfactorily to attend to the important duties of your representative in Parliament ; and it is with great regret that I now relinquish the hon ourable position which, by your favour, I have so long occupied. At the close of a Parliamentary career of not less than thirty-three years, I can look back upon that ex tended period with the satisfaction of having consistently adhered to those constitutional principles and opinions with which I entered the House of Commons, and which I conscientiously retain." It is dated " S'heerness, July 27." Admiral Gordon is a brother of the Earl ofAberdeen. He was a Lord of the Ad miralty from Sept. 1841 to Feb. 1846, during Sir Robert Peel's Administration, and resigned his office when that lamented statesman proposed his free-trade measures. Admiral Gordon, however, afterwards, and at an earlier period than many others, accepted that policy ; though, at the last election, Lord Derby and - Mr. Disraeli being then in power, he expressed an intention to give a gene ral support to their Government. Simultaneously with Admiral Gordon's valedictory address, appears this morning the following : " TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF ABERDEEN. "Gentlemen,—The appointment of Admiral Gordon to an important naval command having induced him to relin quish his seat in Parliament, I have been led to believe that the tender of my services to the constituency of my native county may not be unacceptable to many of your number. 1 venture, therefore, respectfully to offer my self as a candidate for the honour of representing your in terests in Parliament; and, should I become the object of your choice, be assured that I shall enter upon the impor tant trust with the most anxious desire to discharge its varied and responsible duties in a manner at once accept able to you and for the benefit of our common country. " It would have been my wish, in as far as possible, to have personally solicited your support ; but I must, on this occasion, throw myself upon your indulgence, when I mention that the state of my health will, for the present, necessarily detain me in England.--I have the honour t• be, gentlemen, your most obedient and faithful servant, "HADDO. " Great Malvern, August 5, 1854." Lord Haddo is the eldest eon of the Earl of Aber deen. It is to be regretted that the state of his lord ship's health, which has been weakly for some time, should have prevented him from personally attending t his election ; but this excuse for his absence will of course be held valid by all reasonable men. We shall be prepared to hear, especially so soon after the Beverley election, which gave a seat to a younger son of the Premier, an outcry from the organs of faction against the election of Lord Haddo ; but the electors of Aberdeenshire, so far from regarding it as a disqualifi cation in a candidate that he is the son of their distin guished lord-lieutenant, will only welcome him the more cordially on that account. It is impossible for any family to be more respected than is the family of Lord Aber deen throughout this district of country. A semi-autho rative announcement of the prospective retirement of Admiral Gordon, and the consequent candidature of Lord Haddo, was made to the electors some time ago, but no candidate has yet declared his intention to oppose his lordshp's return. It is rumoured that a meeting was held very recently at the Duke of Richmond's seat, Gordon Castle, Banffshire, where the duke has now taken up his autumn residence ; and it is thought the Earl of March was named as a probable candidate on the opposing interest. Others would also no doubt aspire to the post had they any chance of success. It is believed, however, that moderate men of all parties will at least acquiesce in the election, whilst the mass of the community will feel that every confidence may be placed in the upright and patriotic intentions of Lord Haddo. It may be mentioned that his lordship was born in 1816 ; that he has largely devoted his time to varied study, and that latterly he has made several public ap pearances in connection with religious and philanthropi c mo vements, particularly those connected with the Church of England. an Th d e t has fixed it present isbelie t v he ed Lord nomination ad for the do d i will b 2 e 2 ele inst., elected without opposition. ROYAL ASYLUM OF ST. ANN'S Socna:.—Yesterday a half-yearly general meeting of the friends and suppor ters of this charity was held at the London Tavern, Mr. Aldermoon in the chair. The worthy chairman, who opened the proceedings, referred to the past labour of the society, which he considered as a fair ground on which to claim the continued support of the public to enable the committee to persevere in making the career of the asylum one of usefulness, both morally and reli giously. Mr. Leeks, the secretary, then read the report, which was unanimously adopted. Aldermoon Moon and H. Pownal, Esq., were then elected vice-presidents of the society, and a poll was opened for the election of candidates, which closed at three o'c:ock, when the names of those who had proved successful were an nounced from the chair, after which the proceedings closed is the usual manor.

PARIS INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.—The edifice in the Champs Elysees, preparing for the Exposition of next year, is now in a state that some opii ioa may be formed of its effects, proportions, and distribution. The leading idea appears to be a vast oblong central hall, since, though the side galleries and double aisles are wide, and the former are abundant in the amount of spaCe they provide, by the nature of the composition they are so shut off from the central portion hs in no point of view to be commanded by the eye in conjunction with it. The separation is on the lower story further aided,by the heaviness of the iron work, which, unless it be decorated with remarkable skill, bids fair to produce the effect of a wilderness of columns and cross-beams in deep shadow —so intricate as to destroy all intimation of the area be twixt them and the outer wall. Then, the distribution of light and shade -or, to speak more exactly, of glare and gloom—may offer difficulties of detail which it will require as much ingenuity as foresight to cope with. In the central hall —although it is to be glazed with ground glass—the affluence of daylight and sunshine may be come dazzling. In the side aisles, on the ground floor, light is so sparingly admitted that subdivision will be almost impossible in anything higher than dwarf parti tions. To eyes accustomed to the Crystal Palaces at Knightsbridge and Sydenham, the central hail of the Pa risian building will seem deficient in height —while the curves of the iron work in the roof, when viewed in cer tain positions, have an appearance which is more singu lar than satisfactory to the unscientific eye. The outer e e l ff e e v r a s tin of the building, l o essinatterferd which is solid stone-work, and handsome.—Athenceum. THE WHALE FISHERY.—During the past week we have had three or four arrivals from the Arctic regions. They confirm in a measure the reports formerly oircu lated, and supplement the news from that quarter by stating that " there have been only six fish caught in the country up to the time of their departure." Some of the poor fellows are in a sad plight, having parts of their fingers, toes, and ears frost-bitten—John o'Groat Journal. LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND.—BT AGNES STRICKLAND. Cheap Edition, Vols. 7 and B.—" These two volumes, which are the concluding ones of Miss Strickland's work, contain the Lives of Mary 11. and of Queen Anne—thus embracing, perhaps, at once the most interesting portion of British history, and the most in teresting personages in the whole of this splendid regnal gallery. The whole work has been characterised as uniting the fidelity of history with the fascination of the most engaging romance ; and no portion of it—attrac tive as every volume is—is a better manifestation of this than the section of it now before us. It is pleasing to find now concluded so beautiful an edition of a work of such sterling merit. The Lives of the Queens is a stan dard historical book."—Caledonian Mercury.
