CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR, ' `"" ` • '' But althon,,,ihe comes in snow, ha still hopes to meet with a warm reception—but where is he going ? Why, to pay his yearly visit to the gpirib of John Rich, in the GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED FUN. This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes— " Who's dat knocking at der door ?"—Come and see—" J. Andersen's my Joe, John," and " I am Rich," that's mere than every one can say ; we wish they could—How to make a Pantomime ?—" that is the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will be satisfactory— Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no'clemency, so we fly by night" to A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD QUEEN BE.SS. . _ _ We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact, that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess, therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—bat there's nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary. It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE is introduced, in which the Royal Wig! the Royal Ruff!! the Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! I! ! will make their first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " nasal indulgence of a British Public." These are followed by - • GOAD QUEEN LESS en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Hampton Court. —What comes nextvrtll certainly follow—and then will be seen GOOD QUEEN BESS in all her royal splendour. - --It is an Historical Fact, that Good Zueen hogs, like "Young Same— . had lovers, so many that she scarcely knew upoa which to decide"—and it Is an. Historical Fact that the following Were, a few of them. : THE REJECTED ONES: Philip of Spain, Prince Aapert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa, Prince Alengon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden„ Henry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William Pickering, Charles Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen Bess appoints a meeting of these " wonderous proper men" at Kenilworth, bat declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go" —and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to CUMNOR HALL BY MOONLIGIIT—WiIson. " Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee, my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ketzhy—" Put out the light, and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil worth— fie steps at Love's half-way house, the Robsar Arms—" Oh, Susanna," or rather " Oh, Amy!"—lt can't be said, "he makes no bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but, " being gone, Amy is hersen again "—th it is to say, a rather jealous young lady, who in her " deed despair," introduces her Lovely Babhy, to whom she sings the following pa:little stanza : " Come my babby, co:ne along with me g , ) to far-famed Kenilworth, lour naughty dad to see " Ind so they do, KENILWORTH CASTLE As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Eess's Royal Visit. For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and " paid the piper." This, his gorgeoni fete, half ruined him ; there fore we pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity. for all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true lave never did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " competi teurs," and to him they do come " petit oars," for they prove per fect bears, or, reore properly speaking, bores.

We recently felt it to be our painful duty to allude in terms of well-merited censure and reprehension to the objectionable tone and manner of Mr. COBDEN'S address to his constituents at Leeds. We clearly fore saw the evil results that would follow the threats and menaces against his political opponents in which the Hon. Gentleman thought fit to indulge on that occa sion. The emphatic cautions which he then addressed to the Protectionist party against, any attempt to disturb the existing state of affairs or to resuscitate the departed corn-laws, have al ready produced their natural fruits. He declared that the former agitation was, in consequence of his earnest entreaties, quietly and logically conducted, but that he could not promise the same freedom from " illicit processes," and other logical errors, in the new contest. He plainly indicated that reactionary efforts would be suppressed with the strong arm— that his followers would resort to turbulence and vio lence, in place of reason and argument—and that " physical" might, on future occasions, be substituted for " moral" force. Such hints are seldom ne glected. The multitude is ever but too ready to give the widest interpretation to such inflammatory harangues, and to proceed to extremities never con templated by the orator. We do not suppose th t Mr. COBDEN had any conception that his speech would have led to such riotous and illegal proceed ings as disgraced the town of Stafford on Thursday last, or that his " warnings " would be so promptly fulfilled, but such was their direct tendency, and we cannot help considering the Honourable Gentleman to be in no small _degree responsible for the disturb anCes and outrages that took place in the midland counties within the present week. A meeting of the Staffordshire agriculturists had for some time been in contemplation. Certain Noble Lords were anxious to make an imposing demonstra tion in favour of protection, and the greatest exer tions were made in order to obtain a numerous attend ance cf farmers. Thursday, the 10th instant, was fixed on for that purpose, and the doors of the Shire hall had scarcely been thrown open when every part of the building was thronged with an eager rnult:- tude; anxious to take some part, although, perhap , , not a very friendly one, in the proceedings. The ap pearance of the first speaker was the signal f disturbance. Lord ST. VINCENT, we are told, came forward and attempted to address the meeting, " when a most discordant noise, consisting of hisses, groans and yells, &c , was set up which lasted sevela minutes." This was scandalous enough ; for every man who feels that he has truth and justice on his side will gladly listen to the arguments cf his oppo nents, and render to others that which he claims for himself, the full and fair opportunity of giving free utterance to his opinions. Bat noise and clamour did not satisfy the dissentients. But a few sentences had been delivered, when "several disturbances took place in the body of the hall, and amidst the cries of ' police' and murder' a general fight took place ; loth parties appeared to be pretty well armed for the fray, and a set-to a la Donnybrook com menced. After about fifteen minutes' good fighting, the police were let into the hall, through a side door, and they at once set upon all those who appeared to show the slightest symptoms of disagreement with the conveners of the meeting." This summary interven tion procured some degree of silence fur a few seconds, but fir a few seconds only. In a brief period the noise again became so violent that it was utterly impossible to hear a single word, and the Noble Lord sat down after proposing that Bari TALBOT should take the chair. This was seconded by Lord NEWPORT, M.P., but the pro ceedings were carried on in dumb show, "groans and hisses" being occasionally varied by " great confusion and fighting." The Gallant Earl had, however, no sooner come forward than a large stone was flung from the body of the meeting at his head. The formidable missile erred from the mark at which it had been directed, but, unfortu nately, fell upon the forehead of Mr. FOWLER, a gen tleman who was in attendance to report the proceed ings, and who happened to be standing by his lordship's side. A serious injury was the result, a large contused wound having been inflicted, and the unfortunate gentleman was conveyed away to re ceive the surgical assistance he required. After this atrocious outrage upon an innocent and unoffending man, who was merely performing his duty to his employers and the public generally, we are told that— "For nearly half an hour the Chairman was endca touring to address the meeting. During the whole of the period the rioting was at its height in the body of the hail, the policemen who were present being totally insufficient effectually to (pull the disturbance. A large number of the rioters were, however, ejected by the farmers, and the chairman ordered the doors to be closet This was no sooner (Joie than the mob outside commenced pulling up the stones of tie court yard in front of the Shire-hall, which they hurle I through the windows with such violence as to break whole frames out at one stroke. The mob inside, in the meantime, tore up several benches and forms, with which they armed themselve:. After some sharp fight ing, in -which some scores of helds Vere broken, "Lord Talbot again addres;:ed the meeting, but it would be totally impossible to give anything like an outline of his Lordship's sreech, the riot and confusion entirely preventing the reporters from hearing. When his Lordship resumed his sett, a large paving stone was hurled through the window at him, but, as in the Feviouicase, his Lor&hip eicacel unhurt." Mr. TURNER, the next speaker, was commencing to address the meeting, " when the mob from without opened another battery against the windows, and the stones came flying into the hall in every dinrction." The report then declares that " The appearance of the place at this period became most alarming; battles wero taking place in all parts, of the body of the - hall, and the stones were pouring in through the windows as fast as a heavy shower of rain, • much to the terror of thoia in the galleries." After another vain attempt to stem the torrent of violence and outrage— " The superintendent of the police informed his Lord ship that it was quite impossible for him longer to hold out against the mob, as his men were knocked down in all directions. " The messenger whom Lord Talbot had sent to the Mayor returned, and stated that his Worship refused to act at all in the matter, as ho considered it to Jae the duty of the county magistrates. "The mob, finding that they were now quite un checked in their violence, commenced battering in the doors and windows in the most determined raanntr, stones weighing from 401 b. to 501 b. being thrown in amou.st the meeting. " ford Talbot, with some difficulty, stood forward, and said, the Mayor of Stafford having refused to assist in putting down the riot which is now existing outside, I cannot, as a county magistrate, allow the property of the county to be demolished in this way, and, therefore, I declare the meeting dissolved. " Upon leaving the Shire-hall, Lord Talbot and his friends proceeded to the Swan Tavern, where he was followed by a mob of nearly 1,000 persons. Whilst his Lordship was in the act of crossing the road som e mis creant struck his Lordship in the breast with a brick. This was the signal for further destruction, for the mob i mme di ate ly commenced smashing the windows of the hotel where his Lordship and his friends were staying. His Lordship, on receiving the blow on his breast, coolly told the mob that they were acting very unlike English. men. From the hotel the mob made their way to the railway station, — where they received the farmers as they came down to go by the several trains with showers of bricks and stones. Upwards of 100 persons are more or less wounded, some with broken heads, some wi;h black eyes, Sae. Ono gentleman, who was going down to the station in his gig, was so severely pelted that the horse took fright, and the driver was thro , ,vn out." And this was the conduct of Englishmen in the 19th century, of those who once prided themselv, on a love of fair play, and fair end manly conduct towards all opponents. Well might their proceed ings be stigmatised as disgraceful in the highest dc gree to all concerned, eitht r as instigators or aiders and abettors in the dastardly outrages. We blush for our countrymen while recording events such as could scarcely hays taken place among a horde of • uncivilized barbarians. Was this the ma:- nor in which they desired to exhibit their fitness for the calm and deliberate exercise of the elective franchise, <1 which a large and liberal extension is demanded ? Is it thus that the progres of liberal measures can be secured ? No ; the mos inveterate opponent of the popular cause could not devise a mode of inflicting greater damage to tl.e principles of democracy than the rioters of Stafford effected by their insane and reckless acts. And we regret to say that the language of Mr. COBDEN at Leeds was calculated to produce still more mischiev ous results, for it gave colour to the assertion that the disgraceful outrage was sanctioned and connived at by the leaders of the democratic movement. Some time back we were rejoiced by the announce ment that the French Republic had made a positive advance in practical freedom by abolishing the pass port system. Such was indeed the word• of-mouth declaration of the PRESIDENT himself, and we are disposed to believe that such a declaration was meant as something more than a verbal compliment. Never theless, travellers still complain of the customary annoyances—diminished in some instances, but far from being entirely abolished. Whether this is owing to the misconduct of :commissionnaires and other un derlings, or whether it be attributable to the ordinary delays attending every species of reform, we can not say, but we earnestly trust that it does arise from no more serious cause. It is quite impossible that the passport system can be now con tinued. In such a matter retrogression is out of the question It would be almost easier for the Govern ment to impose some new burden than to continue one they had offered to remove. That the passport system is a burden, and a very grievous one, no in dividual who has travelled on the continent will gain say. Ia no instance is the boasted freedom of En glishmen more apparent than in their unre strainel power ofj locomotion. ; A man who has been accustomed to traverse any part of his native island at a moment's notice, no sooner sets his foot on a foreign shore than he feels himself a prisoner. All his motions are observed— " Set in a note-book, Learned and conned by rote ;" and at the same time the magic name of "Libert6" always before his eyes, and the boasted privileges of Republicanism resound in his ears. The anomaly of such proceedings is most glaring. Freedom is a thing which must be felt to be appreciated, and the abolition of royal prerogatives is but a sorry boon to the Populace if it be unaccompanied' by the • abolition of all restraints upon the rights of" free citizenship. That an arbitrary power should wish to bold a check upon the movements of its subjects is natural enough, and very excusable, but how a free constitution can imagine the state invested with any such authority is to us a matter of amazement. Theoretically there is as much reason for issuing lellres de cachet as for maintaining passports. The only excuse that the advocates of the system can allege is, that it may occasionally serve to prevent the escape of criminals. We do not retort that it never does prevent such escapes; but, we vA , , even supposing the truthfulness of the argument, is it reasonable or just that the movements of every innocent man should be watched and restrained in the remote possibility that he may be an escapiog criminal ? Such an idea is positively ridiculous. It is unnecessary, however, to dilate on the grievances of passports now —those grievances have been ad mitted to be intolerable, and their retention by a free republic has been recognised as an impossibility. Why, then, is there any delay in carrying out the re form ? Why does the R.public, which in its infancy took " fraternity" for its motto, and in the heart inspiring eloquence of LAMARTINE proclaimed peace to all nations and good will to all men—why does the Republic hesitate to realise those promises by giving to the world an example of her right appreciation of liberty and her recognition of fraternal claims ? Let her open her gates to men of all nations, let the free-spoken Englishmen, let the boasting American, let the irresolute Italian, and the would-be indepen dent subjects of the EMPERORS feel when they enter the territories of the Republic that Frenchmen are free in deed as well as in name. It is late in the day to urge the matter now, for the PRESIDENT ha s already pledged himself to remote the grievance and it must be removed; The revolution which steam has effected in tra velling accords happily with the fraternizing spirit ~the age. The sword is being supersedediby this pacific power. No Peac• Congress can compete with the efficacious agency of the steam-engine. It was felicitously said, in reference to the admiration of the Americans for SHAKSPERE, that " What our mighty lion lost Our mightier swan shall save." With due reverence for the influence of " the S wan," we think the sentiment literally true as regards the steam-vessel. The rapid inter-communication of England and America is doing more to fraternise th e inhabitants of the two nations than the ordinances of GRENVILLE and the determination of WASH INGTON ever did to disunite them. Similar is and will be the influence of railroads throughout the Continent of Europe. Without in any way di minishing the force of patriotism, the rapidity and facility of voyages and travels, bringing together men of remote nations, and exhibiting to each the peculiarities and affinities of all, impresses all with a fresh assurance of the brotherhood of man, and in vests each, so to speak, with the citizenship of the world. Is it fitting that such a work should be marred, that such a glorious progress should be impeded by the retention of a petty system of espionage worthy only of an age of tyranny, and tolerated only by those to whom custom raconcilcs all things, until even " Oppression appears sacred in its vcni-rable wrong?" We congratulate, and we have already congratu• ated, the French Republic and the French PRES!. DENT on their happy recognition of this fact. We would now suggest to them the consideration of a very excellent dat qui silo dat. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FRIDAY. The Queen walked this morning in the Slopes and Eastern Terrace The Royal Family took their accustomed airings. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Hon. C. B. Phipps, Colonel Hon. C. Grey, and Colonel Seymour, left Windsor Castle for London this morning, at twenty minutes past ten o'clock, travelling by a special train on the Great Western Railway.

That Mr.who annually proposed the repeal of the Corn-la vs before the League was ever established, should undertake this office is a sufficient answer to the many idle rumours which have been circulated of a hankering on the part of Ministers for a renewed duty upon the importation of corn.— Times. We have much pleasure in announcing that the Court of Djrectors of the Honourable East India Company have most liberally contributed the sum of 3001. towards Mr. Sidney Herbert's Fund for the promotion of Foamlo ,Emigration; THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Assembly was occupied the whole of Thurs day in discussing the various separate articles of the Bill for regulating primary schoolmasters. The discussion was occasionally of a noisy and irritating character. Five articles were agreed to, and the discussion'was adjourned to the next day. The Parie publishes the following semi-official announcement, on the subject of the expedition against RosAs : " We learn with the most lively satisfaction that the Goverum nt has just decided, in a council of ministers, that it will immediately send an expedition to La Plea. It was positively stated at the Assembly that the squadron would be composed of one or two Itigates and several small steamers. The expedition will be placed under the command of Admiral Dubourdicu, who wi'l unite to the command full diplomatic powers. Some persons spoke of Admiral Laine as the man the best calculated in every respect to bring such a negotiation to a good termination, and we entirely concur in this opinion. The effective strength of the troops to be sent will be 2,000 men, under the immediate command of Colonel Lannes de Montebello, of the 7th chasseurs. The members of the committee who examined the question of La Plata have received an assurance that the expedi• lion will be promptly prepared and dispatched as 'soon as possible." The following are the principal items in the weekly bank return:— Specie in Paris Francs. ... ... 305,531,672 Ditto in branches ... 132,712,339 Bills in Paris portfolio 46 ,563,382 Ditto in branches 73,555,552 Bills lying unpaid 2,180,096 Ditto in branches... 1,656,563 Bank Notes in circulatiou 383.740,600 Ditto in branches ▪ 71,912,400 Credit to Treasury ... 71,545,591 s Private credits ... 79,917,255 Ditto in branches ▪ 23,282888 More specie continues to flow into the coffers of the Bank. The amount is more by nearly six millions than it was last week. The increase in the circula tion of notes very nearly corresponds. The discounted bills account shows that the Bank has a little in creased its accommodation to the city, while with re spect to the country the contrary is the case, for there is a falling -off in the discounted bills account cf up wards of three millions. The credit to the Treasury is less by one million and a half. At ; the commencement of the sitting of the Assembly on Monday, the Ministers received a check. General D'HAUTPOITL, the Minister at War, expressed a desire that the Bill increasing the pay of the non-commissioned officers should be sent at once to the Budget Committee, instead of being re ferred to a Select Committee, and M. FouLD, the Finance Minister, urged the adoption of the views of his colleague. The motion was opposed by General FATIVIER, a member of the Orleanist faction, and was rejected. The Assembly yesterday passed the Bill for the regulation of primary schoolmasters by a ma j or it y c f 162 ; the, numbers being—for the. Bill, 385 ; against it, 223.

The market was firm, and prices were fully supported.—ln Railway Shares a good busi ness was done at higher rates. The qua.rterly eitcial payments began last week to operate upre the Bank of England account, which shows an extension of circulation and a reduction of the hi:lance to the credit of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The emouut held by prtvate depositors was augmented, and this is an item which will, doubtless, receive further extension. There was an addition to the advances upon other securities, probably loans upon stock. The bullion increased a trifle. Compared with the previous week, the following results are shown : Notes Issued Increase Rest 16,037 ... 10,321,413 ... 238,078 ... 9,735,268 ... 371,163 ... 1,085,169 ••• 83 . 218 ... 14,375,681 ..• 24,801 .. 11,691,026 212,962 ..• Notes ... 12,010,975 Decrease . . ••• 575 Bullion ... 17,020,480 Increase ... 4,317 Active Circulation 18,256,500 Increase ... 29,740 In Bills of Exchange upon the principal continental cities there was yesterday afternoon a moderate business transacted. On Amsterdam the rate advanced a little, being for 90 days' bills 12 2 to 2+; on Antwerp 25 65 to 70 was given, and Trieste was done as high as 11 20 to 22. Hamburch was a shade lower, viz., 13-12 to +; Frankfort steady at 1214 i; and Paris, at 25.60 to 65. There has been only silver exported from London this week, all to Holland, Belgium, and France, and to the amount of 238,000 ounces. We learn from Manchester to day that business has been checked by the rise in cotton, but at Leeds and Nottingham there was considerable activity. The Funds have been farther depressed this morning, and the realisation of profits is evidently the cause. Consuls have been quoted 97 to 97+ for Transfer, and 961 to 97+ for Account, being now 97+1. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 99k to Bank Stock is firm at 208 to Exchequer-bills halve 58s. to 61s. only, money being temporarily in request in the Stock Exchange. The F3reign Funds keep up pretty well, and Peruvian have risen to 651 f; Mexican are 29j+, and Grenada 16i. Brazil Stock has been marked 89. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 34} to 35. Nominally Spani.h Five per Cents. are 19i 4. The market for Railway Shares has been very buoyant again, and it would really seem as if parties began to see that at present values they may do well to invest. The allotment letters of . the I s li ng t on C a ttl e M ar k e t Company have just been distributed, and the gentlemen who at much perSongl inconvenience, and in spite k f con siderable opposition, have determin'ed to press the matter upon public attention, have every reason to congratulate themselves upon the issue. The tide of opinion has turned so strongly in favour of a bli burban market that Smithfield, under any circumstances, could not much longer exist, but what more immediately cone rns the proprietary is the knawleige that they are buying a property which promises, like that at Liver pool, to yield a handsome dividend. ... 30,267,475 ... 29,165 ... 3,135,837 Increase Public Deposits Decrease Other Deposits Increase ... ••• Seven Day and other Bills Increase ...

The Central Government at Frankfort does not intend to accredit new ambassadors to foreign coun tries, in place of those who have been revoked. The King of PRUSSIA, in his message on the revi sion of the Constitution and the formation of the First Chamber, proposes the erection of a House of Peers as a substitute for the First Chamber, leaving to the Second Chamber the control of the supplies, after the manner of the English House of Commons. It is said that the King of SAXONY will abdicate in favour of his nephew, and that the young KING wilt, on his accession, grant a general amnesty. It is now admitted by the organs of the Austrian Government, that serious disturbances have broken out in Servia, and that the Servians and Croatians are anxious to throw off the Austrian yoke, and to proclaim the Slavonian nationality. One of the Sla vonian papers, in noticing PALAKY'S article on Czech nationality and feudalism, says— " Indeed, to speak plainly, our present position we regard as a mere stepping-stcaba to the realisation of the Sclavonie idea, and we ought never to lose sight of the future in the present, however we may be disposed to acknowledge and justify our present relations." The Italian troops in garrison at Arad have re volted; they have opened the prisons, and seized a park of artillery.

The accounts of the country are to be submitted to the .Diet, and all extraordinary expenses submitted to it s approbati on . Th e EM PEROR may adjourn o r di ssolve the Diet, but in the latter case he must summon another in three months. The Diet may propose changes in the Constitution. T URKE There is no truth in the rumour that disturbances had broken out at Belgrade, and that the Turkish Servians had refused to pay tribute to the Porte_ Accounts from Belgrade, to 28th ult., state that the tranquillity of the town and district had remained undisturbed. ITALY. The Risorgintento of Turin, of the 17th instant, announces that the editor of the 'pamphlet, entitled " Jesus Christ before a Cou nc il of War," had been sentenced by the tribunal of Genoa to two months imprisonment, and 600 f. fi ne. A sanguinary collision took place in that city on the 4th instant, between the Genoe se Ri flemen and the soldiers of the brigade of S avoy. The officers fortunately interfered in time t o prevent a general c m o e r lee i . i Tne people took part on neither side.

A letter from Genoa of the sth instant states that the new loan for the Tuscan Government contracted by M. BASTOZT, of Leghorn, and M. Pangs, of Genoa, for 23,.000,000 scudi, at the rate of 87 per cent., rose five per cent, in a few hours after it ritaS offered for sale at the Bourse. MARINERS' F RIEND SOCIETY.---H enry P.

After the confirmation of previous minutes the superintendent's report and financial sheet were sub mitted. The former showed that from October 1 to December 31, 1849, there had heen 545 patients ad. mitted on board the " Dreadnought" moored off Gree nwich, and that there were in hospital on October 1, 101. Of the 545 527 came from British and foreign merchant vessels, and 18 from her Majesty's ships. There were now on board, sick 171, convalescent 5, and fit for duty 5. The patients discharged during the three months amounted to 465, and the out-patients attended in the same period to 430. Th e t o t a l number received s i nce the establishm en t i n 1821 was 61,041. The balance sheet exhibited the receipts and payments for the three months ending December 31 ; of the former, the prin cipal item consisted of 6891. dividends on stock. The largest sum for expenses was 560/. as wages. The dis bursements exceed the income by more than 6001., but this was accounted for by the investment in the Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. of 926/.

Mr. PHIPPS moved for a rule, calling upon the be fendant to show cause w h y their demurrer should 11° , , ho set aside, on the ground that it was frivolous. Ibe action was upon a mortgage deed, granted under i i e d 38th section of th e B t h an d 9th of Vic., commonly c i/ ye the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act, which g'. o . Railway Companies the power to borrow money, P A 'd, vided they were authorised to do so by the present g e upon mortgage or bond ; and, at the same time, i g g - pd the mortgagee power to receive back his princiPl",: g to interest, by proceediags at common law. The pr"„: 0 0 Act in this case was th e 9 t h and 10th Victoria, secd 245, which incorpor a t e d t h e Newry, Warrenpoint °to Rotrevor Railway Companies, and empowered thell•vg borrow, on mortga ge or b ond, any sum, not exceee l in the the whol e 33 > 333t, no p art o f suc h sum g° o borrowed until th e w h o l e capital of 10,000/. should Vic/ been subscribed for, and a clear half of it paid up.
