JOHN RAILTON and SONO, the eminent stock and sharebrokers, of Manchester, (which will be found in another part of this day's im pression) will be perused with deep interest by all holders of railway property. It shows that the tide which was so long ebbing has at length turned, and that there is every reason to hope that these im portant undertakings have seen their worst days, that henceforth there will be a gradual improvement, affording a reasonable expectation of fair, but moderate remuneration to those who have invested their capital therein. r The extraordinary panic and depression of the last few years were but the natural consequences of the mania and extravagant prices of 1844 and 1845. It was then thought that railways constituted a mine of incalculable wealth, which could not possibly be over worked. Fortunes were, in many instances, realised in a few weeks which would have taken a life to accumulate. There was no labour, no anxiety ; nothing was required but the friendship of some pro visional committeeman, who could put in a good word during the distribution of shares. The letter of al lotment was issued, and in many instances sold for hundreds, aye, thousands of pounds, without a single farthing being required from the fortunate allottee. Every instance of successful speculation stimulated new adventurers to enter the Capel-court El Dorado. The lines in existence or process of construction did not afford a sufficiently ample field for those embarked in pursuit of the Golden Fleece ; every quarter of the island was ransacked. It was enough to find a few towns without direct railway communication. An engineer was sent out to inspect, and in a few days a hasty report was returned, a provisional committee formed, prospectus issued, shares allotted, and brought out at a considerable pre,fit in a few days. In many cases the visit of the engineer was dispensed with. The promoter only required a railway map of England, and to draw a few lines from town to town in order to send forth a flaming prospectus. Wherever the names were high sowld ing, or large towns on the route, two, three, or four competing companies were in the field, and a fierce con best was waged before the Parliamentary Committees. Nearly 1,400 schemes were registered, which would have required for payment of the deposits alone nearly 60,000,0001. sterling, or 600,000,0001. for their completion. Men wholly without capital, or the means of paying a single call, fearlessly signed sub suriptions, undertaking to pay tens of thousands, and thought that their fortunes were made if they could Pi Flys rovipmfficient to pay the deposit. -- 7 .-541411,.was the state of aff4irs, when in the latter end of October, 1845, the first panic in the share market commenced. Many ill-digested projects were ntiped in the bud. Even the bond fide lines in ac that opezaiion fvlt the efftct of the .hock, and were qttoted - -at reducel prices. There was as great an t s l rrianty" to " get out" as there had formerly been to " get in," and stock and shares were thrown indis criminately on the market, to be sold for anything they could bring. Still the panic was not as cora plet.s as it subsequently became.

I, THE SUN, every description of property, did not pass lightly "CHF -r -over the railway i n t eres t . T he quotations not only fell in common with Consols, and P other species of investment, but tl materially reduced, owing t" " ment that prevailPA depression ..ery ...0 traffic was _ Lne general embarrass _.. on every side, and the extreme ur trade. Stock was flung on the market, -.la sacrificed for anything that could be obtained, and when the change was produced by the virtual suspension of the Bank Charter Act, which restored some degree of confidence in other matters, that con fidence was not extended to railway property, which continued to fall, while almost everything else ex hibited considerable improvement. This continued to the present year, but at length the symptoms of a change are becoming perceptible. Messrs. RAILTON, in order to teat the value of the unguaranteed capi tal, assumed that a person on the 26th April, the date of their last circular, "purchased one share in each of twenty-three unguaranteed lines (the most attended to at that period) by an outlay of 7331. 163. 3d., and kept them over until the 26th July, three very dull months in the share market, and without any apparent improve ment in confidence to attract particular observation. The result showed no variation in value upon one line, a loss upon seven lines, and a gain upon fifteen lines, leaving a balance of profit amounting to 31. 7s. 3d. per cent. at the end of three months, or at the rate of 131. 9s. per annum." This advance, although trifling, affords a cheering augury. It shows that the feeling which has made capitalists shun railway stock for the last few years is beginning to change, and that as other channels of investment are becoming narrower, and money is accumulating in amount, with a falling rate of inte rest, a considerable portion will be attracted into railways, which cannot fail to improve considerably in value. One of the first measures likely to occupy the at tention of the Legislature in the next session of Par liament will be the Irish Land Question, and we think it is the duty of all who wish for the moral, social, and physical improvement of the people of Ireland, to aid the Government in the settlement of this vital question. Ministers are pledged to legislate on this subject, and those parties who would create any difficulties in the legal adjustment of the relations between landlords and tenants in Ireland are not, in our humble judgment, serving the cause either of the Government or the people. There is no inherent difficulty in the subject, save that which is inseparable from the settlement of any question where jarring interests are concerned. The laws in relation to land are not more unalterable than the laws which relate to any other species of property, They are the creations of the Legislature, and we conceive it is not only within the province, but that it is the actual duty, of the Government to amend or alter them as the social state and the public interest might require. It is idle to say that the matter should be left to the civilising influence of education. The history of the world proves that no degree of enlightenment can work such a moral miracle as to elevate the general body of mankind above the considerations of selfish ness. The wisdom and learning of BACON did no' preserve him from the meanest and most sordid in fluences. If those moral principles and those "better feelings," which should spring from them, were to advance hand in hand with the rapid progress of human knowledge, there would be no necessity for the additions made, session after mission, to our civi and criminal co le. We have no faith in these Uto pian anticipations; indeed, the answer to such falla cious doctrines has been written, over and over again, in characters of crime and blood. One of our contemporaries, in endeavouring to ind cate certain fallacies which he attributes to those who write and speak on this subject, has, in our humble opinion, fallen into greater fallacies than any which he has attempted to point out. He says— " Many persons are apt to suppose, that if they prove certain conduct to be impolitic and unjust they thereby establish its illegality." In anything written or spoken upon this point that came under our observa tion we have certainly been unable to discwier any such confusion as is here implied. We are quite aware of the imperfection of our laws, we are aware that many acts of injustice can be committed which cannot be strictly said to be illegal, and it is to cure this defect, to prevent acts of impolicy and injustice being committed under the shelter of the law, that we call for legislation upon this subject. The Legisla ture cannot snake men good and wise, but it can make men act with justice. The same contemporary notices " another fallacy in which persons are apt to indulge who talk on this subject, and that is, that land is held, according to the law and constitution of the United Kingdom, in trust, and that consequently a landowner is bound by law so to comport himself with respect to his land as to make it produce the greatest happiness to the greatest possible number ;" and goes on to ask in what text• book, in what legal decision, this maxim is to be found, &c. &c. We do not believe that any text-book or legal de cision will supply any such maxim ; we believe the absolute owner has at this moment perfect and entire dominion over his estate. We know that the land owner in Ireland can evict his tenant, raze to the ground the humble roof-tree under which his fathers have reposed for ages, and send him and his helpless off spring to perish by the wayside— we know that this power has been exercised under circumstances of great cruelty. We believe this power dangerous to the social welfare of Ireland ; we believe it has al ready worked much mischief, and will continue to work still greater evils without the interposition of the Legislature; we ,would, therefore, call upon the Government to introduce some measure to meet such a crying grievance. There is no power, no right, beyond the control of the law and the constitution ; and one of the great perfections which jurists attribute to our constitution is, that it contains within itself the elements to cure any defects which time or circumstances may pro duce. We would, then, call on the Legislature to deal boldly but equitably with this matter, to deal between party and party in accordance with the most rigid spirit of justice. We would certainly in terpose some legal shield between the tenant and a capricious or cruel landlord ; we would savo the in dustrious tenant from being driven out a houseless wanderer, and would give him such a fixed interest in the soil as would be calcu lated to make him a useful citizen, while, at the same time, we would preserve every just right of the landlord, consistent with those higher and paramount considerations, the preservation of human life, and the general well-being, peace, and order of the community. With regard to the asser tion that land in either Eogland or Ireland is not the subject of a trust, we are amongst the number of those who conceive that " property has its duties as well as its rights," and that every landlord is morally, if not legally, a trustee. His rights are based on public utility, and we think he is bound by the obli gations of society so to exercise his rights and duties as to produce the greatest amount of good to the social community of which he is a member. ALARMING FIRE AT KENNINGTON. — This morning, at an early hour, a very alarming fire broke Lowerpre mises enning ton-lane, Lambeth. The fire commenced in a blind manu factory, and but few minutes elapsed ere the lower portion of tt e building, together with the staircase, became enve loped in flame. At that period Mrs. Nehery and two chil dren were in their beds asleep, and it was with great trouble that they could be made sensible of their danger. They happily succeeded in escaping from one of the bac k windows. The engines of the London brigade and West of England office quickly attended, and plenty of water having been ob tained from the Lambeth Company's mains, the engines were set to work, but the firemen were unable to get the flames extinguished until the whole of the stock in trade was de stroyed, the lower part cf the premises burned out, and the upper floors seriously darnaged. The origin of the lire could not be ascertained. H E R MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—THE GRAND NA TIONAL CONCEIII3.—We learn that it is the intention of the committee of the Grand National Concerts, to produce origi nal lyrical works by native composers. George Mactarien and Edward Loder are already engaged, and we believe an offer has been made to John Barnett, the author of The Mountain Sylph. Bake will be the musical director; Herr Molique, leader; and the celebrated Mus ard is to be en trusted with the compoing and conducting of the dance music. We understand also that the wurld•famous chorus of the Berlin Chapel Royal, consisting of seventy male voices, under the direction of Kapel- Meister Neidthardt, has been secured. The orchestra will amount to ninety-eight performers. THE RECOEDEESHIP.—Mr. Montagu Chambers has announced himself as a candidate for this office. 'skin train from ' incLcr q QIA LION, TITESDAY EVENING, SEPT.EMI3ER B, MO, r'RENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Councils General of the Departments continue to express themselves as favourable to a revision of the Constitution ; but one only, that of the Pyren6es Orientates, has demanded the prolongation of the Presidency of Louts NAPOLEON. The C,,uncil Ge neral of Avignon refused, by a msjority of 18 to 8, to entertain the proposition for a revision of the Con- stitution. The Courrier Francais, the organ of the Bur graves, has declared in favour of the monarchical pre tensions of the Count of CHAMBoRD. The Society of the 10th December is making great efforts to secure for LOUIS NAPOLEON a favourable reception at Cherbourg, as there can be no doubt of his great unpopularity in the navy. The Prince DE JOINYILLB is the idol of the sailors as a man, and the Republic is their idol as an in stitution. After February, 1848, M. F_ itericcus ARAGO, Republican Minister of Marine, gained immense popularity among the sailors by in cre%-ing the quantity and improving the quality of the provisions served out to them ; but when LOUIS NAPOLEON was elected President, one of the first acts of his administration was to revert to the old system of short commons for the sailors, and bad of the sort. He will, therefore, it is feared, be received at Cherbourg with cries of "Vive le Prince de Join ville ;" " Vive Francois Arago ;" and " Vive la Re publique 1" but surely with no cry of "Vive le President l" or "Vive Napoleon!" save for a con sideration, and the society are doing their best to get up a Napoleon demonstration at ten sous a head. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, declaring the Professorship of Mathe matics in the Colleges of France, held by M. LIM, to be vacant, in consequence of his absence, and that the amount of salary due to M. LIBRI is to be re turned to the Treasury. A second decree declares that the seat in the Academy of Science (section of geometry), hitherto occupied by M. Lisa', is vacant, in consequence of his having . quitted France on the 28th of Febru ary, 1848. A letter from Cherbourg, of the 30th ult., states that a steamer from Jersey, with 150 pas s engers, bad been subjected to very rigid search, in consequence of a rumour that some of the French political refu gees were on board. The passengers, who did not know the motive of the rigour, were astonished at this appatent want of courtesy after the kind reception given by the people of Jersey to the different excur sionists from France. M. GEOFFREY ST. HILAIRE has been appointed Professor of Natural History at the Sorbonne. PARIS BOURSE, SEPT. 2.—Latest Prices.—Five per Cents., 96f. 30c. ; Three per Cents., 58f.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK, The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti matt d at 8,000 hale, , , of which 300 American and 1,200 rernam were tak-n f‘r export, and 1,500 American on spec,ulation. The market was quiet but eteady.—Rail- way Starer were easier. The following urn particulars of the Liverpool mar kets, as furntshcd by Messrs. Joseph Rubinson and Ce.:— " he brisk demand for Wool notified in our lust cira cular, has continued throughout the month just closed, and we see no reason to imagine that any falling off is likely to take place for the present in the consumption. Accounts from the country bring the assurance of the abundance of orders offering and in manufacturers' hands. It is generally admitted that consumption is fully kept up; we find imports light—no surplus stock of new wool, and scarcely any of old supplies, therefore it is not out of the boundary of rationality to. presume that the raw material before long will go higher still, especially as the harvest is progressing in several districts layout ably. Our market is cleared of nearly all useful descrip tions, and great complaints are made by the buyers of the limited quantity here. Sales by private treaty have been effected in Russian, Iceland, East India, Buenos Ayres, Egyptian, Peruvian, and Alpaca, &c., at advanced Cates. There is nothing done in Oporto Combing, though Castel Bsncro and Lambe' have fund buyers. Turkey, Italian, Russian Fleece, and other kin is of this class, are much wanted, and would command high prices. Scotch Laid and W'hi.e Highland meet with ready sale at the quotations; also washed Cheviot and Cros'; but laid Cheviot and Laid Cross move slowly. A parcel of Laid Galloway was disposed of, and on the whole a fair inquiry exists. In English and Irish a large business has been transacted in combing fleeces: want of stock curtails business, and in some instances cunsumers hold back from giving a further advance, which is demanded, prices being higher among the farmers than in the general market. "All kinds of Olive Oil experieuced a fair sale until the last week in the month, when the maraet closed easier; absence of speculative demand is the only ap parent cause. The quantity held is large, yet prices are well maintained, considering the teeling evinced. In Tallow rather more hai been doing; however, operators are nut desirous of purchasing freely for the season. For Dyewoods the demand has been to the trade, and a good business reported; an advance on must descriptions is established." The St. John's News, in a very excellent article on the Great Eastern Railway, furnishes the following in formaiion relative to the supposed route of the line:— " The following is the distance to this route:—Hulilax to Truro, 55 miles; Truro to Amherst and hay Verte, 69 miles; Bay Verte to Shediac, 26 miles; total, Hali fax to Shediac, 150 miles exactly, as surveyed on the railway line. Frain this city to St. Stephen, as the crow flies, the distance is 64 miles, but if estimated at 84 miles, as the longest route to secure a good line, the whole distance from Halifax to the United States fron tier at Calais is just 340 miles. '• A statement has tesen issued by an able engineer at Boston. in which the proposed railway is estimated to cost 28,000/.. or 7,0001. per mile. This exceeds by 2,0001. per mile the estimates made both by the Com missioners of the Halifax and Quebec Railway and by Mr. Wilkinson. It is calculated 300 passengers will travel daily on this railway, and. that 100 tons of freight will also be carried daily. The fires and rates of freight are stated at the lowest American rate of three cents (less than twopence) per mile for each passenger, and three cents per mile for each ton of freight. With these rates, and an allowance of 50,0001. per annum by the English Government for the carrying of the mails (being the sum now paid for the Canadian mails from Boston to Montreal), it is clearly shown that the line will Fay its working expenses, with allowance for weer and tear, and yield an annual divi dend of eight per cent. on the cost—that cost being es timated, as we have already stated, at 7,0001. per mile." At Amsterdam, on the Ist instant, Spanish bonds were very animated. At Frankfurt, on the 31st ult., Austrian Metallics were 81i to 821, and Spanish Three per Cents. 33 1-16 to 5-16.

The only candidate for the office of the vacant di rectorship was Thomas Holdsworth Brooking, Esq., the par►ner of the late Mr. Robinson, who was unanimously elected, and after the disposal of some formal business the meeting broke up. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) His Honour was the only Ganmissioner sitting to-day. IN RE SLEIGH. This bankrupt was described as of Bedford-street, Covent-garden, printer, and was connected with the British Army Dispatch newspaper, and to-day was ap pointt d for bis last examination. The amounts not having been filed in due time, an ad journment was asked for. The greater part of the proofs were by compositors. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN. This theatre closed for the season on Saturday evening without having given us the Fidelio as protnisrA. We hope the directors will t w the earliest opportunity of pr oducing s chef d'ceuvre of Beethoven next season it is worth a thousand .Tuires. The seas" opened on the 16 t h of March with Dif Freischutz, in which Formes sustained the character of Caspar, Massol took the little part of Killian, Ms' dame Castellan was the Agatha, and Maralti the Rodolph. It waa;the first appearance of Maralti, the nevi tenor, who produced a most favourable impression, and who has gone on steadily progre ssin g during di° whole season. On the 4th of Apri l occurred one of the great events of the season, the dibiit of Signo r Tamberlik, the great tenor, from Barcelona ; he aP peered as Masaniello, at once took his station as the primo tenore of the establishment, and had maintained it throughout triumphantly ; every ar pearance of Signor • Tamberlik has been a transcendent success, and the only wonder is that we lith have never before had him in England. O n the of April Grisi and Mario made their rentree in Pr crezia Borg on ; Tumburini apppeared on tha g same occasion as Alphonso, and Mademoiselle 1)'Ol-.koi (in the absence of Mademoiselle De North Merle) as Orsini. Shortly afterwards as th d e was performed, Grisi of course appearing Druid Priestess. Tamberlik was the Predecessorsan made more of the part thin any of his prat had ever done ; and Forine , t as °raves°, was magn i " ficent. Shortly afterwards ' Don Giovanni Was pro duced, with Formes as Leporello, in which character i m mense the great German basso achieved an success. A version of Rossini's grand opa, of Moise was produced under the title of Zara ; embraced in its cast the whole of the company carefully ltd on the stage and admirably perform ed ' but great length militated against its success/ a n / it did not fill the theatre. The D i osoza Lago was performed about this time, but failed to attract. At length the Huguenots produced, with Grisi and ario n the rin n ' l P li characters, and at once the t Mheatrei recovered its P° . pularity. On the 23d Robert le Diable was perfornlea't ' with Formes as Bertram, Tamb erlik as Itnbelts Mario as Rambaldo, and Grisi as Alic e * a n success was complete, and it never failed to attractoe excellent house whenever it was performed. 0 ° , be 30th May Ronconi made his deb& in &buy°, only time that most noisy of operas WOS perfortnit: during the course of the season. Ronconi afterwar; achieved an immense succes as Figaro,in the Barb iere so Odra approach character no one at presen t on the stag e dr a approach him. His Podesta in th e Gazza 11" was also full of humour. The gr eat event of, r e season was the rentrie of n Mada me Viardot, the reprise of the Prophete, which was pert° oftener than an other opera during the ellte son, and which brought more rn° ne l ,/ t the treasury than any other. It is sotneWiZ t markable that the so-called Royal been f l .,` e d should, during the last season, su staiii he by the works of three German comPosare.,„i of Der Freischutz of Weber, the Don GOvaleer. Mozart, and the Huguenots and Prophete of Meyer To . have been After the first run of the Prophite, Otello 10,0, duced, with Tamberlik as the Moor ; this iS, ho t he Tamberlik's greatest character; certain it is 13,9 is greatest Otello at present on the stage. srtl9 sth o f this Grisi appeared as Semiramide. On het p 2 d with July Halevey's opera La Juice was prodo to h oe Madame Viardot as the heroine. Mario ws,, been the Eleazer, but owing to his s ad Maralti was obliged to take his lef t rendered it in a manner which left n o to be desired, and which added greatly his well-earned reputation. Mario art e . l ,4 2 of appeared in the part, but neither t he strel' o a r t he the cast, the faultless execution of the intisiotf, ke t he gorgeousness of the raise en scene, could make bee n opera popular, and its production must I ' r ouced anything but profitable. The l a st opera pcopi as was the Elisir d'Amore, in which Il nn be colt' Dulcamara fully viadicated his right t 00 000 sidered as one of the first of buffos. T i.

GE RMAN Y. -- --- The Cologne Gazette publishes the following from Vienna, of the date of the 2Gth August:— " A few days since a dispatch arrived from Rime, in which the intervention of Austria was requested in the Sardinian affairs. A similar ne,te, it is said, Invi gone to France. Spain as well as Naples have been quite over looked, although in the documents the Papal Council de clare their attachment to all the Catholic Powers. The differences of the Papal See with the Court of Madrid, on account of the Papal dispensation for the marriage of Count de Montemolio, accounts for the one; and a tresh q uarrel with Naples, for the other. The refusal of Car dinal Sforza, confessor of King Ferdinand, to grant him absolution from his constitutional oath, is said to have originated in Rome." Immediately after the receipt of the intelligence Count NESSELEODE, the Russian Councillor of State, demanded an audience of the EMPEROR. Prince SCHWARTZENBERG went to Salzburg on Saturday night to receive the Russian diplomatist, and introduce him to his MAJESTY. It is this fact, which has hitherto been kept a profound mystery, that has retarded the return of the EMPEROR for se veral days. This conference, which is said to be of .he highest importance, will take place at Ischl. Count MEDEu sets off for Lintz to-morrow morning, to receive the Chancellor. General PROT; the Hanoverian Minister of War, has sent in his resignation. The Carlsruhe Gazette, of the 31st August, pub lishes the first part of a note addressed by the Baden Government to the Austrian Government, in reply to the latter's dispatch of the 21st July, relative to the passage , of the Baden troops by the fortress of Mayence. The Baden Government declares that it considers it is perfectly justified in what it has done, by the approval of the federal superior authority, which alone was competent to decide in the matter. Nevertheless it will not decline to submit to the de cision of any future competent federal authority which may be established. The convention of the 28th gives it full liberty in this respect, but till then l it will strongly repel the reproach of having failed ,n its federal duties. King Onto arrived at Trieste on the 24th ult. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Tne aillt-S have now possession of Suderstapel, south of Frederickstadt ; but no other military operations on either side worthy of notice has taken place. By an ordinance issued by the Copenhagen Go vernment, the customs line between Schleswig and Denmark is to be done away with from and after the Ist of September next. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS SEPT. I.—The intelligence of the deat h of Louis PHILIPPE has been a great shock to her MA IFESTY, whose health is in a very precarious state, and causes great uneasiness to the members of the Royal family. RUSSIA. The Prussian S'taats Anzeiger says that the Russian Government has distributed a circular among the ar tisans of Vienna and Prague, stating that there is employ for 300 carpenters an d joiners in the south of Russia. Every workman who shall present himself shall receive a gratuity of 15 florins, independently of the expenses of his journey. The health of the Empress of RUSSIA is so impaired that she will be cowpelled to pass the winter in the south of Europe. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA. The Turkish Government has made energetic demands on the Russian Cabinet to withdraw the Russian troops from the Danubian principalities, or to declare its intentions ; whereupon Russia has in quired of the flospodars whether they thought that tranquillity was sufficiently re-established to allow of the dispensing with this occupation.

BOW 7 STREET.-(THIS DAY.) James Cole, alias Cotter, who stands charged with hocussing and robbing Peter Thwaitos, a fruiterer in Covent-garden Market, of moneys amounting to 3001., was agai❑ placed at the bar. Mr. Lucas, landlord of the Mercer's Arms, the public house in which the robbery was committed, deposed that he remembered Mr. Thwaitea coming into his house alone on Friday aft-rnoon, 9th Augu-t, about four o'clock. He was sober. He called for a glass of ale. There . wt-re four men at the bar. Aft•.r holding a conversation with them he called for another glass c.f ale, and then tossed two of the men for a bottle of wine. The prosecutor lost four bottles, which he paid for. Witness could not say that the prisoner was one of the four men pre sent. After they had been drinking for about half an hour, the men left the house, and on witness going round the counter he found Mr. Thwaites lying on the ground quite insensible. He appeared to be in a stupor, and witness had no doubt that he was drugged by those who wt re tsith him. On the arrival of his friends he was immediately taken home. As some cheques and a 51. Bank of England note have been sent back to Mr. Thwsites, the solicitor for the prosecution begged for another remand, but Mr. HENRY thought there was sufficient to commit him,—Accordingly committed. MARLBRO'.STREET.-(THIS DAY) ASSAULT AT THE QUEEN'S THEATRE. - Joseph Shetfoni was brought betoro Mr. Bingham charged with creating a disturbance at the Queen's Theatre, Totten ham-street, and assaulting William West, the constable. Complainant stated that last night he was called into the gallery for the purpose of quelling a disturbance, when his attention was•called to the prisoner, who ap peared to be the leader of the row. Witness went up to him, and told him if he did not keep quiet he (witness) should feel it his duty, for the comfort of the rest of the audience, to turn him out. TEe prisoner then abuse.; him in the most filthy terms ; and, a the performance was interrupted, witness seized him by the collar and took him out. On arriving at the top of the gallery stairs the prisoner laid hold of him by the collar, struck him on the head, and tried to throw him down stairs. Wit ness, however, kept his hold of the prisoner, and suc ceeded in getting him into the st: ^t, when other as sistance having arrived, the prisoner was secured, and conveyed to the station. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was fined 205., in default to be committed for seven days. THE INDIAN PRESS.—The following is a leading article of the filofussilite, quoted entire, on a subject which has lately created no ordinary sensation in this country—, " The Gorham case—damn the Gorham case:" The East Indian Railway Company paid on Saturday the further sum of ~ 1,2041. into the Treasury at the India House, making the total sum paid here upwards of 435,0001- and the Great Indian Peninsular Company on Saturday paid in 42,000 f. The whole of these sums bear interest at 5 per cent. under the guarantee of the Indian Go vernment. CITY OF LONDON REGISTRATION.—The numbers of objections taken against freemen is 170. There are only four claims. To householders there are upwards of 1,500 objections, and only 380 claims. The revision is expected to occupy three weeks. The official inquiry into the death of four Irish men who were drowned in endeavouring to escape across the North Channel from Sunk Island, in the East Riding, from the pursuit of several English " navvies," terminated on Sa• turday list. The jury haye sat altogether ten days, have examined no fewer than 79 witnesses, and have at length returned a verdict of manslaughter against two men named Bielby and James Brown, who stand committed to York for trial at the next assizes. From the peculiar circumstances of the case, the coroner has declined to allow the publication of the depositions. There is no doubt that a conspiracy existed to raise the wages of the district, which conspiracy even tually merged into another to drive the Irish from the works. Four men have been committed for trial at the next Bever ley sessions on this charge. A CURIOUS BURDEN.—We noticed a few weeks since the curious fact of a duck swimming about in a pond with a young chicken on her back, an d h ave now to matc h it with an incident in a different quarter of the animal king dom. The toad is not a very lovely creature, but under the forbidding hide of it there are insticts in which one might trace a shade of beauty. On Monday last a party of young ladies were enjoying a walk in Mr. Turnbull's nursery grounds, and in coming on the road near the Hatton, leading down to the Dundee-road, they observed a large toad, with a family of seven, seemingly on the way of removal to a new settlement. For some time they watched its more• ments, and were not a little amused to see the young ones all get on the back of their parent, who then moved away with them, evidently heavily loaded, yet willing to bear her burden. She wended her weary way down towards the Manse of Kinnoull, which, by the time the young ladies had finished their walk, she had nearly reached. We would hope that this incident will not be lost upon our youthful readers, but will help to shield the toad race from the boyish persecution to which it is unreasonably subjected.—Perth. shire Advet tsser. FUNERAL OF RAMO SAMEE.—The mortal remains of this once celebrated Indian juggler were interred on Sunday afternoon in old St. Pancras Churchyard. The body was f .Ilowed to the grave by a large concourse of spec. tatorr. CHATHAM, SATURDAY. AIELANCHOLY ACCI DENT.-A melancholy accident occurred to a child, three years of age, belonging to :_zanmel Langridge, leaning man of shipwrights. It appears a fire had beat lighted, in the morning for the purpose of pre- 'ring breakfast, when the child going too near the fire p' its chemise caught fire, and in the absence of the nur,3 (the mother being in her confinement), the mother jumped out of bed, and flew to the assistance of the child, and by enveloping it in a blanket extinguished the fire, but not before the child had received so mach injury as to cause its death this morning. The mother, in endeavouring to save the child, hid both her hands burned in a most shocking manner, and is in a very precarious con dition from the fright. N ."' FOREIGN RAI LWAYS.
