His egotism he carried into all his writings ; but he could carry it—it hindered him not in the movements of his mind. In this, unlike Byron, all whose heroes are himself, Gothe's heroes are not all Goethe, the man ; but they all have a withered hand, or some incurable touch, from Goethe the poet. His attainments were gigantic, and the range of his capacity was almost without limits ; but his influence on his admirers is not elevating, not ameliorating. And this marvellous mind has been well termed, in figurative language of no ordinary force and sublimity, "a great cupola, lighted from below."-7he Press. r I'RJOE SD. THE MURDER AT MANCHESTER. John Finnigan, the deaf and dumb boy, charged with the murder of James Shanley, a child six years old, by throwing him into the Rochdale Canal, at Manchester, on Saturday, was again brought up for examination, yesterday, before the magistrates at the Manchester City Police Court. Betsey Shanley, the mother of the deceased, said her son left home between 5 and 6 o'clock on Saturday evening, and she never saw him alive afterwards. Thomas Shanley, the father of deceased said—l live in Taylor's-court, Oxford-street. I called at all the police stations on Saturday night, and did not return home till past two o'clock on Sunday morning, and on Sunday I made the same round again, also calling at the work houses, without obtaining any information whatever of my son. I and another man found him in the canal on Sunday afternoon, between 2 and 3 o'clock. Angus Thorley, a little boy, ten years of age, who in giving his evidence, displayed considerable dullness of apprehension, said—l was going up Garret-road for a walk on Sunday, with another boy, when two boys came behind us. One of them was going to throw me into the canal, and the other got hold of the boy who was with me, by the clothes, and threw him into the water. I know it was Sunday. Alderman Walker—What day did you say it was when you were here before ? A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST'S ORIECTIO N TO THE BIBLE. The revising barristers for the county of Dublin com menced their revision of the burgess roll yesterday. An objection having been raised by the Conservative party to the names of the Roman Catholic clergymen of Exchange-street Chapel remaining on the voters' list, not being occupiers within the meaning of the act, Mr. Crean, on behalf of the Liberal party, produced the Rev. Mr. Keogh to prove that they paid the rent of the chapel-house out of their own funds, and were not liable to be removed at the will of their ecclesiastical superiors. The Rev. Mr. Keogh on being handed the Testament used in the court in order to swear, declined to take an oath on it, and produced a copy of the Douay Bible, Oa which he declared himself willing to be sworn. He said that that book (alluding to the authorised version) was not true. timeW Witness— . I mrsaeidwiterweasgoSiunngdaoyv.er sometimes to school o n S un d ay, but I could not go that day. There were no work men or carts about. I don ' t the bridge. ka w Igo what know when I told my moth er a b out it. I had never before seen the boy who th r e w th e d canal, but I know the prisoner i s thit'-eceased into the '-sa t te. , I am sure he did it on purpose, and then he ran away. Mr. Superintendent Taylor, of the Manchester police, said—This boy (the last witness) came to the Police office shortly after 10 on Monday morning with his mother and the deceased's father, and stated that on Saturday (not Sunday) evening he was taking a walk up Garratt road with another boy, when the prisoner came up and threw his companion into the water. Mrs. Thorley, the mother of the witness Angus Thor- ley, said—My son came home on Saturday night about seven o'clock, looking very downcast, and laid his head against the wall. He has often been stoned and ill-used by other boys in the street, and I thought they had been molesting him as usual. On Sunday night, after the body had been found, I was putting him to bed, when he laid his bead on his breast, and said, "Mamma, I have seen the little boy that was drowned ;" and after wards started up and exclaimed, " I saw him throw him in though." There being no further evidence, the prisoner was re manded till Friday. Mr. Pattison, master of the Deaf and Dumb School at Old Trafford, interpreted the evidence to the prisoner, who seemed, by signs and gestures, indignantly to deny everything that appeared to criminate him. He is said to be a very intelligent boy, and can write very well. He is apprenticed to a joiner, and his father is a nail maker, residing in Chorlton-upon-Medlock. The priso ner was educated in the Deaf and Dumb School, where he had the character of a very headstrong and self-willed boy, but never manifested a disposition from which it could be inferred that he was likely to commit a serious crime like this. His appearance is mild but rather sullen. Mr. Martin objected. All her Majesty's liege sub jects were in the habit of being sworn on the authorised version of the Bible, and he could see no reason why there should be any exception made in the case of Mr. Keogh. The Rev. Mr. Keogh said it Was not the true Bible, and according to his conscience if he took an oath on it he would be unworthy of credit—he would be a base man. Mr. Martin.—Here we have a Roman Catholic cler gyman stating in open court that a person taking an oath on the authorised version of the Bible is unworthy of credit. I will leave the question there. M bl r. K ofa an kind.e oath on that Isa a id t i I myself Mr. K emm i s —Y ou state d as your op i n i on th a t t h e authorised vers i on was untrue, an d t h at your oat h ta k en on it wo u ld b e unworthy of credit. Mr. K eog h—I do not mean that others might not be examined o n i t, and that their oath would not be worthy would Keogh —r b el e d unworthyi based noteno sayugh o af to n byetlhi take n f. of credit ; but having investigated the matter myself, I have formed my own opinion, and if took the oath on that Bible I would feel that I had violated my conscience so much that I would be unworthy of credit. That opii.ion was not intended to apply directly or indirectly to others. Mr. Kemmis said it would, perhaps, have been more fortunate if this question had not been raised ; he would, lefore deciding the motion, consult Mr. Shaw. Mr. Crean observed that Roman Catholics were Allowed to take the oath of allegiance on their own Tes tament. It was also permitte by one of the.commis sioners in another court. Mr. Martin said he looked upon this as a most impor tant question, and he was anxious that it should be set tled as speedily as possible. Mr. Keogh—Where is the liberty of conscience if I am not allowed to use my own Bible ? Mr. Martin—The subject, he would repeat, was of vast importance to her Majesty's subjects generally. Mr. O'Gorman, the revising barrister at Kilkenny, re cently insisted upon a juror being sworn on the New Testament, although he refused, stating that it was untrue. After some further discussion, The Bench decided upon allowing the agent for the priests to produce his evidence. Mr. Crean replied that he was not prepared for this gentleman's objection to be sworn. It came on him quite by surprise. If the Court would let the case stand until the morning he would bring forward some of the other gentlemen residing in the house. Mr. Martin opposed the application. The Bench allowed the case to stand. ADVENTURES OP A LETER.—So admirably are mat ters conducted nowadays under the direction of the authorities at St. Martin's-le-grand, that an Irish letter addressed to Weybridge, and having to be forwarded subsequently elsewhere to the party to whom it was ad dressed, was compelled to make the following extraor dinary peregrinations :—Passing through London, it was sent from the central office to Weybridge, from Wey bridge it was sent to Chertsey, from Chertsey to Wey bridge, from Weybridge to Chertsey, from Chertsey to Weybridge, from Weybridge to London, and from Lou don to its ultimate destination. FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.--A very serious and fatal boiler explosion took place on Monday morning, at Mr. Hammond's flax mill, Bank, Leeds. The explosion, which was owing to the reckless carelessness of the en gineman, drove the partition of one of the lower rooms asunder, and scalded seriously upwards of twenty per sons. Three since have died in the infirmary. Their ❑ames are as follows :—Thomas Hamilton, aged 22 years ; Jane Middleton, aged 24 years ; and Ann M'Donald, aged 13 years. The lives of several others are despaired of. An inquest was held on the bodies by Mr. Blackburn, the coroner, and was postponed till Wednesday, the 28th inst. CRUSADE AGAINST GIPSIES.—The crusade which com menced against these wandering tribes sometime sines, still continues. On Sunday evening a party were dis covered encamped beneath the bill in the neighbourhood of Mordiford, and one of them, named Boswell, was taken into custody. On the fol lowing day he was taken before the magistrate, mulcted in the expenses, and cautioned for the future to find some other home than the " wide, wide world," and some other roof than the canopy of heaven.—llereford Journal. EXTRAORDINARY FESTIVITIES.—ProbabIy the largest dinner party that ever sat down under one roof at one time took place at Saitaire, the model mill of Mr. T. Salt, alpaca manufacturer, near Bradford, Yorkshire, on Tuesday last. The dinner (which was the commence. ment of the day's festivities) was given by Mr. Salt to 3,750 persons, comprising the notabilities of the West Riding, the leading merchants and manufacturers of Irorkshire and Lancashire, his personal friends, and his own workpeople, to commemorate the opening of the stupendous works at Saltaire, the majority of his eldest son, his own birthday, and the completion of his 50th year. In a gigantic room hereafter to be used as a combing shed, there sat down at one time 3,200 per sons, of whom 2,500 were Mr. Salt's operatives, and the rest invited guests. Mr. Salt, the host presided at this ' immense dinner-table, having on his right and left the Earl of Harewood, Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, the Mayors of Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and Wakefield, Sir G. Goodman, M.P., Mr. Crossley, M.P., Mr. George Sandars, M.P., Mr. H. W. Wickham ' M.P., together with a large number of ladies ; and at 27 tables in front of the chair were seated the remainder of the guests and the workpeople from the various mills of Mr. Salt. Saltaire is a stupendous, but a model mill, in which every mechanical science is brought to bear for the con centration in one vast whole of the utmost economy of labour in the manufacture of alpaca and mohair fabrics, and as it is to be surrounded by a model town for the work ing classes employed therein, it is situate about 4 miles from Bradford, and forms one of the most remarkable objects on that part of the Midland Railway which lies between Leeds and Colne. The area appropriated to the buildings is computed at six acres, while the several floors in the mills, warehouses, and sheds, form a superficies of 55,600 yards, or 11i acres. The mill, which runs from east to west, is 550 feet in length, and 72 feet in height above the level of the rails. It includes six sto r i es , an d i s constructed of massive stonework in the boldest style of Italian archi tecture. The walls look more like those of a fortified town than of a building destined to the peaceful pur suits of commerce. The floors are formed on arches of hollow brick, the openings in the bricks being used for the purposes of ventilation. Rows of ornamental cast iron columns and massive cast-iron beams support the arches. The roof is of iron. The windows, of large size, are entirely filled with immense squares of cast plate-glass. The whole of the building is fire-proof. The weaving -shed will hold 1,200 looms, and the length of shafting in the works will be 9,370 feet, or nearly two miles, and weigh between 600 and 700 tons. The steam engines to work these shafts are equal to 1,200 horse power, at a pressure of 301 b. to the square inch ; and that the 1,200 looms will be capable of producing 30,000 yards of alpaca cloth per diem, or nearly 18 miles each day, and a total length of 5,688 miles of cloth per annum. When the works are wholly finished, 4,500 hands will be required to keep them going. This will involve an addition to the population of Saltaire of from 9,000 to 10,000 persons. To accommodate these, Mr. Salt proposes to erect forthwith 700 dwelling-houses of various classes, replete with every convenience requisite for the health, comfort, and well-being of the inhabi tants. The architects are expressly enjoined to use every precaution to prevent the pollution of the air by smoke, or the water by sewage or other impurity. Wide streets, spacious squares, with gardens attached, ground for recreation, a large dining-hall and kitchens, baths and washhouses, a covered market, schools, and a church, each combining every improvement that modern art and science have brought to light, are ordered to be proceeded with by Mr. Salt. After the dinner and a suc cession of toasts, dancing in an adjoining meadow, and e fo d rd i , n to sp w e h ei i a c l h . t a h g e r a g n u d e guests concertan d in w o S r k t G's P; o e p o l r e g e w e trains, wound up the day's rejoicing s . h re ali c'o E nV ra ey d SYMPTOMS OF IMPROVEMENT. —The best and most satisfactory proofs of improvement in the social condition of Ireland, are to be seen in the workhouses, where the number of inmates of paupers are reduced in some cases to a mere fraction. In the union of Gort the per sons receiving relief in the workhouses amount to 730, this time twelvemonth they numbered 3,500. The same state of things prevails in most of the southern, and many of the western unions, while in Ulster the rates are in numerous cases applied almost exclusively to the mainteance of the house, and payment of the officers. The Clare Journal states, that the farmers in the neighbourhood of Gort are giving 2s. 6d. per day and food to mowers. Agricultural labourers are very scarce, and tradesmen of every sort in full and profit able employment. LON DON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1853. THE PRESENT ASPECT OF THE EASTERN QUESTION. ( From the Times. ) In another part of our impression will be found a dispatch from Count Nesselrode to Baron Meyendorff, expressing some of the reasons alleged by the Czar fur refusing to accede to the Turkish modifications. This document will not require much comment. Before the first Note of the Vienna Conference had been accepted by the Court of St. Petersburg, the Emperor of Russia stood absolutely without an excuse in the eyes of the world for his audacious outrage upon Turkish independence and European law. Up to this stage of the dispute there was no room for mis understanding. Whatever offence might have been conveyed by the previous transactions of the Sultan with the Greek and Latin churches had been plainly condoned. On this, which was the sole point of controversy, the Russian Ambassador of Constantinople had acknowledged his entire satisfaction. He then produced on behalf of his Sovereign a new demand concerning the same subject, and it is from the rejection of this demand by the Porte that all the consequences now visible have directly followed. The case of Russia, there fore, turns exclusively upon this requisition, and manifestly fails ; for, whatever may have been the character or purport of the application itself, it has been unanimously decided by the statesmen of Europe that the concession required was not such as one Government was entitled to exact from another as independent as itself. For argument's sake we may admit that the motives of Russia were disinterested, and that her views were really and truly limited to the protection of Christian. congregations. Nevertheless, as these congrega tions were subject to an independent Power, it was not competent to Russia thus to interfere. In so far as existing engagements went, the Czar was undoubtedly entitled to require an observance of their conditions, and, if the question had con cerned only such points, there would have been no room for European remonstrance. But it is per fectly notorious that the Russian Government alleged no such reasons for its proceedings. It did not pretend that the Greek Christian subjects of the Porte had received less consideration in any respect than had been provided by treaty. Its demand was for something altogether new. We may assume, if we please, that the recent transac tions between France and the Porte, coupled with the sudden changes of Turkish policy towards the Greek and Latin Churches, had convinced the Czar that his existing privileges were less secure or less satisfactory than he had conceived them to be. We may suppose that, with a pure and single minded intention, he desired to obviate the recurrence of any such troubles by placing the position of the Greek Church in Turkey and his own protectorate on a clearer understanding than before. This is taking the most favourable view of the Russian case ; but even in this view it is insupportable. Whatever were the treaties be tween Turkey and Russia they were at any rate ' fixed on record • nor could the Czar possess any possible title to demand their modification or ex tension under menace of war. If they were less serviceable to him than lie had imagined, that was the fault of those who signed them. There they stood ; and neither of the contracting parties could ! Eye warranted in peremptorily demanding that they should be changed. Russia, we may be per fectly assured, would not have consented to any fresh interpretation of these engagements if they had proved unexpectedly prejudicial to the sove , reignty of the Porte, nor had she any right to pre ' fer such a demand when they proved unsatisfac tory to herself. Very possibly, the requisition might he justifiable in itself—that is to say, it might have tended to place matters on a better footing, and have even been conducive to future peace. We may assume this for the sake of argu ment ; but the assumption contains no excuse for the conduct of Russia. The vital point of the case is this—that the requisition, however described, was indisputably one which the Sultan, in the ex ercise of his independent sovereignty, was compe tent to reject ; and the public crime of Russia consists in her endeavour to enforce compliance by an armed invasion of Turkish territory. The de mand itself might have been reasonable, but it was flagrantly unlawful to back it by menace and maintain it by acts of war. It follows directly from this plain conclusion that Russia can have no title to object to the substance of the modifications suggested by the Porte to the original Vienna Note, forthis substance concerns that point exclusively on which Russia has no rights at all. To the independent action of Turkey, under the circumstances of the case, it will be seen that exceptions are taken with great plausibility ; for when the Czar had consented to do all that the Four Powers thought fit to ask, he might fairly argue that these Four Powers should ask no more. But, in so far as he maintains that the limitations imposed by Turkey upon the terms of his protecto rate, or the interpretation given by the Sultan to the Note of the Conference, are objectionable in themselves, he has no standing ground, for he is destitute of any right to exact any such terms at all. Whatever he obtains on this head, whether by award of the Conference or concession of the Porte, is so much gain, and gain wholly undeserved ; nor has he any warrant whatever for demurring to its amount. This point Count Nesselrode's Note adroitly leaves without much exposition ; but, in so far as the Emperor excepts to the restrictions placed on his own demands, he acts without justifi cation, and the Conference is fully competent in all respects to affix its own sense to those terms of its original Note which affect these pretensions of Russia to authority within the dominions of the Porte. We trust the unmistakeable rights of the case may contribute to its pacific solution, but all the intelligence received from Constantinople is ominous, as our readers may observe, of a different result. The truth is, that the Ottomans them selves, as recently known to Christian Govern ments, have now been superseded by tribes in finitely more fanatical and barbarous. The Turk ish invasion of Europe has been repeated anew, and the immediate subjects of the Sultan, partially civilized by commerce and training, are now ab sorbed in Asiatic hordes who are now repeophng European Turkey with the veritable savages of the East. Already it is understood tha t the lives of Christians, and especially of French and English, are insecure in the capital of that State which these Christians are so laboriously protecting, and it is scarcely anticipated that any terms of peace will prove acceptable to those ferociou s multi tudes, whose very breath is war. It is super fluous to remark upon tha plausibility which these circumstances must confer on the pretensions of the Czar. Though Russia is really responsible for this, as for every other incident of a dispute provoked by herself, she will be enabled to point to the notorious insecurity of Christian congre gations among tribes like those as evidence of the effectual protection which such congregations require ; and, when the full ferocity of fanaticism is let loose, as it may be, it will become infi nitely more difficult to maintain the political privi leges of a nation capable of such outrages. By this extraordinary infusion of barbarian blood Turkey is rapidly acquiring the character which she pos sessed four hundred years since, and it is but too probable that the next mail may inform us of the actual resort to arms. It cannot be forgotten, indeed, that such a re sult is no more than a natural consequence of the aggression of Russia. We may say that hostilities were already commenced when the Danubian Prin cipalities were occupied by a Russian army, for, if an armed invasion of a foreign territory does not constitute an act of war, it will be hard to say what does so. The Turks would be clearly justified in crossing the Danube, in expelling the Russians from Wallachia and Moldavia, and even in follow ing up by offensive demonstrations an expedition so openly provoked. If they could accomplish this by their own unaided strength, the most difficult of State problems would at once be solved ; but few persons acquainted with the subject will ven ture to doubt that the event of such proceedings v oe before s t o would be to bring the Russians, after one or more campaigns, to the gates of Constantinople. This consummation t m hco a e t u i ls o dw n o be it h tis the paramount interest of com bined. Europe to avert, but it is clear that inter mauschbemen doreracownn thanvenien w tly h eff en ectl Czar has been brought within reach of his prize with the title of conquest, and after the chances of war. DE ROUTH OF MAGDALEN COLLEGE.—On Monday lost Dr. Routh, the venerable President of Magdalen College, Oxford, entered upon his 99th year, and accord ing to annual custom, invited a select party to dine with him in commemoration of the event. The learned and, venerable divine some months since entered upon the sixty-third year of his office as President, having been elected to that office in April, 1791. To this announcement. which we believe to be without parallel in the annals of the University, we are glad to be able to add that Dr. Routh continues to enjoy good health. He has lately bestowed a ohori s t ers hi p on a boy whose grandfather he admitted to that office sixty years ago. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM. A special meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at Shrewsbury yesterday, to approve the pro ceedings of the committee of investigation appointed at a meeting held at Wolverhampton a few weeks ago, to authorise the committee to institute a bill in Chancery to remove the present board of directors, to authorise the payment of the expenses already incurred by the com mittee of investigation, and for other purposes, pro moted by persons alleged to be influenced by the Lon don and North-Western Company ; the Hon. H. R. Clive, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN apologised (in consequence of other engagements) for his absence from the meeting held in London on the 14th instant, but he now offered them his sincere congratulations upon the proceedings which took place on that occasion. That which he had long and anxiously awaited had now been brought about. He sincerely hoped peace and unanimity would ever exist among the shareholders of the Shrews bury and Birmingham Railway. (Loud cheering.) At the same, time, while he offered these congratula tions, he could not but express his acknowledgments for the handsome and liberal offer made by the Great Western Company. It was a clear and distinct state ment, respecting which no mistake could arise. (Cheers.) He hoped and trusted that the day was now come when all differences and angry feelings would cease to exist, and the shareholders of the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham Company would unite in the promotion of one great object—the welfare and prosperity of the proprie tary, and the benefit of the public. He (the Chairman) hoped that that meeting would be the forerunner of satisfactory arrangements with other railway. companies, which would lead -to the generat accoinenodation, - con venience, and welfare of the community. He would only say, in conclusion, that if he could be of any ser vice, they might rest assured that he would at all times and on all occasions be ready to aid and assist them in carrying out those objects which they deemed essential to the prosperity of the railway in which they were all so much interested. Mr. R. SCOTT, of Stourbridge, said he did not feel that the present was the proper occasion to enter into any discussion upon past transactions. (Cheers.) He admitted that the arrangement proposed to be made with the Great Western Company was generally satisfactory, and, therefore, it was the in terest of all that a contest virtually closed by such a result should terminate as soon as possible. The course of opposition in which he had been engaged was now ended, and he had no doubt that the Great Western Company would faithfully carry out the agreement into which they had entered. (Cheers.) He begged to con clude by moving the following resolution : "That, inasmuch as the shareholders of this company have approved the offer of the Great Western Company, including the election of six new directors in the place of the retiring directors, who do not offer themselves for re election, it is inexpedient to proceed with any business at this meeting, and that this meeting be adjourned sine die." Mr. G. SMITH seconded the motion. Mr. GEACH, M.P., admitted that the offer of the Great Western Company was generally acceptable. It would be recollected, however, that he had always said that, whatever his own opinions might be, he would not offer any factious opposition to measures sanctioned by a majority of bona fide shareholders. He felt it, however, to be a duty he owed to himself to state, that as long as an agreement existed between the London and North- Western and a majority of the shareholders of the Shrews bury Company, whether legal or not, he was not at liberty to be a party to set it aside. If, however, a majority of the bona fide shareholders thought that such an agreement Was invalid, and ought to be set aside in favour of one more advantageous, although he, in honour, could not be one who took such a course, he would not join any minority of shareholders in opposition to the fair and full carrying out of such an arrangement. In conclusion, he could say with truth that he never discharged duties the performance of which subjected him to such un mitigated annoyance as those imposed upon him since he became a director of that company, and in withdrawing from the contest, he hoped there was a prospect that would be consummated of the shareholders getting some return for the large capital they had invested in the rail way: (Cheers.) The resolution was passed unanimously. On the motion of Mr. STANLEY, seconded by Mr. O'GoRE, M.P., a vote of thanks was passed to the chair man, and the meeting separated. CALEDONIAN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday, at Glasgow ; Mr. William Johnstone, deputy chairman of the directors, in the chair. The first business was the adoption of a motion by the I chairman, declaring 75 shares of 501. each, and 25 shares of 121. 10s. each, forfeited. The report, an abstract of which has already appeared in The Sun, was held as read, and The CHAIRMAXTiii staled that during the last half-year about 63,0001. had been added to the capital. Of this sum about 14,0001. was for settlement of land claims ; about 10,0001. for works, houses, sidings, &c., erected along the line; about 1,8001. for Parliamentary expenses in obtaining a bill for ex tending the Barrhead line, funding the debenture debt, &c. About 11,0001. in payment of debts of the Barr .. . . head Company, for which - this company is liable to the ex tent of 50,0001. under the arrangement act, and 26,0001, for plant got during the half-year and used for the traffic There remain still to be settled a few land claims, but of no great magnitude, and a considerable sum will yet require to be expended in erecting houses and putting works upon the line, which the directors will complete with all expedition : also a considerable sum for plant to meet the increasing traffic. The original directors of this company bought up war d s of 50 acres of ground from the General Terminus Company, upon which the latter were making a r a il way to connect the Clydesdale and Barrhead Railways w ith their line. The directors of the Caledonian Company agreed, in 1847, to pay for the ground at the rate of 6s. per square yard, to repay the sum expended in making the junction line. To com plete that line, and to carry out the contract for making it, large sums of the Caledonian Company's funds were paid to the Terminus Company and to their contractor, and large sums continued unpaid to these parties, for most of which bills were granted. The directors of the Caledonian Company decli ne d, i n 1850, to pay , an d th e Terminus Company and their contractor each raised an action for the amount alleged to be owing. The amount claimed by them was upwards of 90,0001., which the di rectors, after a great deal of litigation, have settled for about 73,0001. ; but this sum is not to be paid till an act of Parliament be got, authorising the directors of the Caledonian Company to pay it, to hold the land, and to levy dues on the junction line, which was made under an act of Parliament obtained by the Terminus Com pany. By settling these claims, th e com pany get rid of two very expensive lawsuits—get full possession of the junction line, of which they might otherwise have been deprived, and will have upwards of 20 acres of ground to dispose of, for which, it is hoped, they will get a price sufficient to repay a considerable part of the 73,000/. agreed to be paid. The preference dividend amounts to 15,6481. ; there is afterwards left for division among the ordinary shareholders the sum of 31,0001., which will yield a dividend at the rate of only 2 per cent. per an num. During the half-year ending January last the revenue was 245,7541., and after deducting expenses, &c., a sum of 54,899/. was left for division ; while the revenue for the half-year ending in July was 245,217/., and there is left for division only 45,4391., or nearly 10,000 1 . less than in the preceding half-year, This dif ference arose from an extra expenditure of 1,5001. in maintenance of way, nearly 7,0001. extra for locomotive power and merchandise and mineral traffic charges, 1,0001. for compensation and damages, 1,0001. for mile age and demurrage, and 1,400/. for general charges. These together make up a trifle more than the dif erence. The unfortunate accident at Slateford station also occurred during that period, and a con siderable sum of damages had to be paid to parties injured. That accident is much to be regretted, and it is to be hoped that no disaster will again occur. The shareholders are aware that the present directors adopted the principle of giving to their princi?al officers a percentage corresponding to the dividend payable to the ordinary shareholders, instead of increasing their salaries at the time of re-arranging the different offices, by which almost every officer was promoted, consequent upon the retirement of the secretary and general manager. Their reason for doing so was, that all of these gentle men might have a pecuniary interest to study economy in every department, so as to procure a large dividend to the ordinary shareholders. The directors are still satisfied that that principle is correct, and they mean to continue the arrangement. The interest of the whole borrowed capital now averages 41 per cent. If more of the debentures issued at 5 per cent. had become payable during the last year they could have been renewed at 3i per cent., and the average r ate would have been dimi nished, ut the holders could not be expected to take payment of their money secured by debenture merely to oblige the company. The interest charged to revenue would have been comparatively less had there not been included in it upwards of 1,8001., being the half-year's interest on the sum payable to the General Terminus Company and the contractor for making the junction line. Mr. FENTON seconded the motion, that this report be approved. Mr. MEIKLEHAM wished to know how much the com pany would be out of pocket by the Slateford accident ? The CHAIRMAN—Not over 7001. or 8001. in all. Mr. MEIKLEHAM inquired, how it was that the report did not contain a notice of motion to discontinue Sun day traffic ? The CHAIRMAN said, that the directors were not com pelled by the act to entertain that notice of motion, and they had declined doing so. Two-thirds of the share holders were English, and they were determined, if the Sunday question was renewed every half-year, to urge the propriety of running Sunday pleasure trains. The directors asked them not to press such a motion, which, if they did, they would unquestionably carry, so that it would be seen those who were against the running of any trains on Sunday, by pressing their views, were likely to injure the cause they espoused. For this reason the directors bad not entertained the notice of motion. Mr. M.EaLriliA,m—Under the circumstances I must I move as an amendment, that the report be not received until the goods and passenger traffic be stopped on Sunday. The Rev. Mr. STEWART seconded the amendment. On a vote being taken the motion of the Chairman was carried by 30 to 4. The CHAIRMAN then submitted a formal resolution, to the effect that the debenture debt of the company, amounting to 2,000,0001. sterling, be funded at a rate of interest not exceeding 31 per cent. Mr. FENTON, in seconding the motion, said, that when the whole debt of the company was funded, there would be a saving of 1,5001. per annum effected. The motion was unanimously adopted. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, Mr. Fenton and Mr. Copling were re-elected directors, and Mr. Young, auditor. A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman, the meeting separated. JOHN WOLFGANG GOETHE. Goethe, besides his masterpiece of "Faust," which is as little designed to produce a beneficial impression as his other works, has left us that equally great specimen of his powers in prose, "The Sorrows of Werther," which exercised a marked influence on the rising gene ration. The young men of Germany began to talk like Werther—to write like Werther—to dress like Werther —and to shoot themselves like Werther. It was the highest compliment these good judges and good "ad mirers" could pay to the author. It is now seventy nine years since "Werther" appeared ; and for the last half-century it has steadily declined in public favour. It is whining in spirit—crooked and perverted in ten dency—unhealthy and unsound to the core. It could not last, with all the fostering assistance of panegyric ; it wanted intrinsic vitality, and it is now withering like a dead tree. It will long continue to figure in cata logues of its author's labours or prolusions after it ceases to win readers. Goethe 'confesses that he wrote it to get rid of " the perilous stuff," as Bulwer Lytton expressively translates it, which he felt within him. He committed thus a prepense suicide on the dangerous part of his own mind ; but when he perceived that the glowing story of Jerusalem's self-murder obtained so many practical imitators among the romantic youth of Germany, that all good people were shocked at this hideous scandal, and horrified at the moral consequences of the new novel, he composed a clever comedy called "The Triumph of Sentimentalism," to arrest the mis chief. His works, if they add little that is real to human en lightment—if they conduce but little that is fairly appre ciable towards human progress—contain, at least, the contribution of a word to the vocabulary of transcen dentalism, and to the jargon of a certain school of critics, —a word which Goethe, indeed, did not invent, but which he raised into mysterious importance—the word " msthetics.” He found this word obscure, and be left it famous. Lucidity was not Goethe's chief care. He defines msthetics to mean the science of taste ; and, as he freely applies msthetics to religion, it follows that he considered religion a matter of taste. Life, death, and immortality, are questions of more and less elegance. The early Christian martyrs were all out of the pale of hope ; Caisar remembered the main thing, and died msthetically with his mantle flowing gracefully around him. Goethe, with the aid of a Mlle. von Klettenberg, founded a new religion ; but unluckily it died before himself. If his own works show that taste was not the province in which, by pre-eminence, we would invite him to legislate for mankind, a diminutive book, called "Goethe's Opinions," by Otto Wenckstern—one of Goethe's most idolatrous admirers—is amply sufficient to prove how deficient was the judgment of this emi nent author—how self-repugnant were his views— how incessantly he contradicts himself—how interest ing a guesser— and how weak and helpless a rea soner he was. We have already seen what is his proper rank in literature, whether his poetry or his prose be considered ; and yet this is the man who surpassed—according to E. A. Bowring, and Otto Wenckstern, and a hundred other questionable authorities—all writers, ancient or modern. He was at once a second Plato, and a second Shakspeare— a second Plato without a system, without the " golden style ! " Pedestrian and " salop"— it is his countrymen who say it—in his language, con fused and eternally self-convicted of contradiction in his theories, he who, in the midst of the light of Christianity, groped about for what alchemy, Mist Klettenberg, and mythology could teach, is the revived impersonation of that divine and immortal Greek who, deprived indeed of the advantage of revelation, hap yet, for thousands of years, excited the wonder of the wisest by his philosophy, and the despair of the most eloquent by his words. And Shakspeare ! If nine-tenths of what Shakspeare wrote were destroyed, the remaining tenth would be cheaply preserved to the world at the cost of all Goethe's works together, and of all that such a mind could have produced, had it laboured not for seventy, but for seventy times seventy years. When we read that " Goethe was the embodiment of all human progress ;" when we read of "rigidly adhering to the Goethian language, for the sake of preserv ing the Goethian meaning, and being worthy of the Gotheian era," we recognise in such expressions the most helpless form of literary imbecility—the very hys terics of criticism—the sobbings and idiotcy of admirers quite incapable of comparison or judgment, and far be yond the reach of calm reasoning. Goethe, though not the founder, was among the founders of modern German literature. Gottsched, Hegel, Schelling, Herder, Ernesti, Gellert, and Klop stock, were before him in their labours ; and do such names count for nothing ? Among his contemporaries, besides those mentioned, were Schiller (a far higher genius), the Schlegels, Richter, Musaeus, Griesbach, Paulus, Fichte, and Humboldt—all his countrymen. During the same long era, Montesqui, Voltaire, Rous seau, Diderot, D'Alembert, Cuvier, Mme. de Stael, Chateaubriand, and others, figured in France. In these islands the principal names recal two very defferent gene rations of our literature. For—take them at random— David Hume, Richardson, Smollett, Fielding, Johnson, Warburton, Collins, Akenside, Gray, Chesterfield, Dyer, Warton, Mason, and Young; Crabbe, Burke. Junius, Goldsmith, Burns, Cowper, Scott, Miss Edge- 1 worth, the Banims, Southey, Wordsworth, Moore and Byron, Campbell and Rogers, and the illustrious name of Bulwer Lytton brings us to our own day. Goethe, Cuvier, and Sir Walter Scott, died in the same year ; all three holding renowned names among those of the celebrated men we have mentioned. The stupendous amount of what Goethe has left written ; the fact that ho was one of the earliest labourers in that literary vineyard which had but just been re-opened in his country ; and then a merit, which is certainly his, of having re garded literature with great reverence, and of having given conscientious and scrupulous pains to the discharge of what he deemed his mission (though we think he viewed that mission too " testlieti- I tally," held it as too independent, too much apart from the great ends and duties of life), ensure him deservedly a high place in the remembrance of posterity. In an artistic sense, he had more circumspection, more regard for a certain predominating propriety of place, and time, and manners, in his conception, than most writers whom we can call to mind. His " Herman and Dorothea" is destined to be pastoral, and it has an eminently pastoral character ; " Iphigenia and Tauris" is integrally classic ; " Gotz" is of a Go thic spirit which cannot be mistaken ; and all that he meant for Oriental poetry is, we are told, Oriental, undeniably, in its entire temper and tendency. None but a singularly placid, re collected mind could have successfully attempted under takings so versatile. And Goethe was cautious in main taining this artistic serenity undisturbed. The troubled water reflects nothing. The mirror of his soul was not to be dimmed by any event. When his friend Schiller had breathed his last, Goethe refused to look on the face of the dead—he would not be agitated. When his SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER The directors of this company state, in a circular to the shareholders, that the ordinary meeting on the 28th inst. will be made special, for the purpose of authorizing the issue of the remainder of the preference stock, amounting to 76,1401., which is required to meet the ordinary liabilities of the company, and that the other special business is to afford to the shareholders an opportunity, should they consider it necessary, to pass a resolution, asking the appointment of a commissioner by the Board of Trade to make all the investigation that may be necessary into the state of the shares and trans fers of the company as the same were voted upon in 1851. They state that, notwithstanding the interference of the solicitors and other officials of the London and North-Western Company in buying up shares in the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, and voting in respect of them on the question of an alliance between the Shrewsbury and Chester and the Great Western com panies, the poll of the proprietors produced a majority in favour of the Great Western alliance of no less than 10,700 votes, which, after deduction of all questionable votes on both sides, stood, beyond cavil or dispute, at 10,200 votes over and above all that could be swayed or manufactured by London and North-Western agency. SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD. The ceremony of keying in the last brick of the Din more tunnel, on this line has just taken place. The tunnel is 1,060 yards long and 16 feet wide, and has taken two years and a half to construct it. WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH. Official information in reply to inquiries from the shareholders has just been furnished, to the effect that it is the intention of the Great Western to carry on the works over the whole line from Frome to Weymouth, so that they may be simultaneously opened for traffic, and that the works will be carried on as rapidly as pos sible, that the heavy outlay may be rendered productive without delay.

THE STRIKES IN THIS READY-MADE CLOTHING BUST NESS.—Very few persons out on strike belonging to the following trades have returned to work, the employers refusing to make the required advance, viz., shirt and other under-clothing makers, tailors, slopworkers, cap and waistcoat makers, parasol and umbrella coverers, and women's boot and shoe makers. The em pl oyers have offered to each branch additional pay, which, how ever, the turnouts refuse as not being sufficiently remu nerative, when considered with respect to the present high prices of provisions. For instance shirt makers re ceive for the most inferior work from lid. to 2d. for each garment, and working extremely hard they can only at the utmost earn 6d, per day, whilst for the best they at most receive ls., the work on which is extremely minute, and occupies the poor needlewomen fully 21 hours, being a day of twelve hours and three quarters, which is scarcely better than the slopworker. Although placards have been extensively posted offering an ad vance, few of the strike hands intend to go in until the full amount of wages applied for is granted. THE STRIKES OF PLASTERERS, &c.—The plasterers and others connected with the building trade, who had struck for an advance of 10 per cent. on their wages, have returned to work, the masters and contractors having complied with the demand ; the consequence that is the works at several new buildings, which had been stopped, and workmen in other branches discharged, have been resumed, and are now progressing rapidly. THE DYERS' STRIKE AT MANCHESTER.—A reward of 201. has been offered for the discovery of a person who threw a large paving-stone at Mr. Crabtree, a master dyer, as he was passing along Ancoats-street, on Mon day evening. Fortunately, the offender missed his aim, and Mr. Crabtree escaped without injury. The city magistrates yesterday felt themselves compelled to make an example of a respectably dressed woman, who threw a stone at the son of an operative dyer, and called him a " knobstick," by committing her to hard labour for 14 days. Although the strike has now lasted 11 weeks, and the dyers have only received 2,0001. in subscrip tions, they declare their intention to persevere. GLASGOW.—STRIKE OF THE CABMEN.—On Monday morning the greater number of the Glasgow cabdrivers and strappers struck work for an advance of wages. Their weekly wage, at present, averages from 12s. to 135., although it is pretty well understood that they manage to increase their income by gratuities. They demand 3s. a week above their present allowance, and if this were to represent the whole amount of their earn ings, no one, we should think, would grudge it to them. The employers have, for the most part, conceded the demand in the meantime, but we hear it said that they will take an early opportunity to free themselves from a claim, the concession of which has been forced upon them. Some inconvenience was felt at the railway stations in the morning from the absence of the cabs, but the traffic was resumed in the course of the day.— Scottish Guardian. JOURNEYMEN CARPENTERS.—A meeting of the above body of operatives, amounting to at least 150, took place at the Royal George Inn, Salop-street, on Monday evening. Mr. G. Whittall was unanimously voted to the chair. Several speeches were made by the men, ex pressive of dissatisfaction at the present low rate of wages, and a resolution proposed by Mr. Adams, ex pressive of their determination to obtain an increase of sixpence per day, was received with a universal shout, and carried unanimously. The meeting was then ad journed for one week, when it is appointed to meet at the same place. The operatives were much more orderly than on any former occasion, and many of them stated their unwillingness to come to any strike, yet stated their determination to come to that important step rather than work at the present rate of remuneration. It is expected at the next meeting that a delegate, either from Manchester or Nottingham, will be in attendance to explain the steps that have been taken for obtaining an increase of wages in those towns.—Wolverhampton Herald. ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. There are few objects in social and domestic economy of more importance in this northern clime of ours than the production of a cheap and good artificial light. Yesterday there was a seance at the office of the Metro polis Light Company Clark expl a i ne d and illustrated h 447, his mode an rn S o t d r eo d e when illuminal\r illuminating West light-houses and lighting the Houses of Parliament. He stated that the light-houses on our coast, which are under th e contro l of the Trinity House, yield a revenue of about 300,0001. per annum, of which about 100,0001. is spent in lighting. The mode of lighting generally adopted is by using oil lamps with three concentric rings. This, Mr. Clark stated, was a great waste, the inner rings not having a d ue su pply of oxygen, and con sequentlygiving forth a lurid blaze, which darkens the light produced by the outer ring and burns much oil to no purpose. He proposes to have one ring only, and, instead of revolving lights to have stationary lights, the lanterns having hexagonal sides, one side being of coloured glass, by means of which the mariner will have a clear denoting point. His plan involves the removal of the ribbed glass at present in use in light-houses and the substitution of transparent glass, and he calculates that under his system the cost of maintaining light-houses will not be more than one third the present cost, and that the lights will be much more efficient than those now in use. The mode of lighting the House of Commons has been changed several times. At present it is lighted from the roof, the light passing through ground glass in panels, the lights being from three concentric rings, the same as used in lighthouses. To obviate the heat at present engendered, and which it was explained was caused by the use of powerful and thick reflectors, Mr. Clark proposes to use reflectors of a thin-spun metal with a white v s e u s rf a ac gr e eper forated so as to allow the heat to ascend. He also pro poses to use his single ring burn er, which gi light, and that the light should pass through ribbed glass into the house. These improved reflectors, he states, would not give off any heat into the house, and inasmuch as light in passing through ground glass loses 33 per cent. of its power, it would only be necessary, in order to produce an equal amount of light in the house, to produce a light equal to 67 per cent, of that now pro duced, and consequently the amount of heat generated would be so far lessened. Some ingenious improve ments in table lamps were also exhibited, and a curious fact was stated, that since the Great Exhibition French moderator lamps to the value of upwards of 100,0001. a year have been imported into this country ; and several kinds of lamps were shown which were stated to be, and as far as we could judge from a cursory inspection are, improvements on those ordinarily in use. ainPw n Atn auiPt cn araPt°9 •. dinPt°° a mpcol , am ptOl' ,n ••• ' amPtu'i aITIPt anwtOP ,nthi;%o l l , • ,- .1 0 , 1 09 ' portfi .Pt• • " 1 000 the 111 : 0f.L11,0
