The stock and bonds of railroads are regarded as personal property, and, as such, within specific limitations, subject to taxation. No tax ever can be laid upon the bed of a road, its iron, cars, &c. ; but, where valuable real estate is owned for depots, taxes may be levied. But shares and bonds can only be taxed to the holder thereof, and, of course, cannot be taxed when held abroad. In this re spect, European holders of American shares and stocks have an advantage over ourselves. 4. Companies organised under general laws can not be dissolved without special authority from the Legislature of a State • and, if the time comes that any American ra il roa d company asks for a dis solution, then, and then only, will the property of the company be distributed pro rata among the stockholders. Ido not know of a single onerous condition or obligation laid upon an American railroad company by any State, while I am not aware that any railroad corporation has been formed in England of which the same can be said. 5. No railroad can exist in the - United States that has any right to declare dividends until it has discharged all its obligations due at the time ; and all its bonds and debts of every description take precedence, and can be prosecuted and collected before the original stockholders can either receive a dividend or profit from it in any shape whatever. If there be a failure to pay its bonds or mortgages, the bondholders or mortgagees can by a short and simple legal proc ess , b ecome vested with entire control over the property, and manage it on their own account. In other words, the right to apply the well-known principles of law to the relations of mortgagees and mortgagers obtain in all our railroads, and. they can be enforced by any court of equity within the judicial district. The pay ment of the railroad bonds is generally secured by deed of trust to some known and responsible citi zen of New York as trustee, with full power given in the deed to the trustee to take possession of the road, its income, franchises, personal effects, &c., in case of default, and to sell the same for cash to the highest bidder, at 60 days' notice, without the intervention of a Court of Chancery. 6. Nearly all the bonds issued by American rail ways have the same general features. They are either secured by mortgage upon the property of the roads themselves or they are common bonds for the payment of money. But they are subdivided into two classes—those which are convertible into stock at the option of the owner, to the amount on their face, whenever the holder sees fit ; or they have no such condition attached. Convertible bonds have an advantage over the latter, inasmuch as they can be converted into stock so soon as that stock rises above par. This condition has been found peculiarly advantageous to many of the holders of the bonds of the western roads, since the stocks of most of these roads have gone above par as soon as they were completed. 7. Nearly all the western railroads were pro jected and built for the special benefit of the people themselves in those districts through which they pass. Their sole object was to be brought nearer to a market for their produce, and many muncipal bodies subscribed for stocks with no expectation that they would ever become valuable in any other way. Capital was scarce in the west, as it is in most new countries. There was a serious want of outlets to New York and navigable streams. Hence these railroads were undertaken with the expecta tion of general advantages to the community. But cities and counties could not create debts, or ex pend the money in their treasuries for such pur poses, without special authorization from the State Legislatures. The object of this was to give cha racter and legality to their acts, that they might have binding force, and also to equalise the burden of those debts over the owners of property in those sections. The charters, therefore, of almost all the western railroads authorised these cities and coun ties through which they passed to subscribe by a uniform mode to the stock of those roads. But in variably one safe condition was attached to this Permission—that such action should also be autho rised. by a vote of the majority of the citizens them selves. This voluntary principle has worked ad ira ' bly • because no city or coun ty h as h a d the Wight to subscrib e for stock in roads until a ma tiliethYi,(:hf the voters thereof so decided ; and thus and. , 2 _east sanction of the will of the taxpayers ones ita l wee -was imparted to their action. In no has thus in li mn I ascertain that any city or county per cent. o c la rr t e h d a debt of more than from 2 to 5 The amount sub° taxable property of its citizens. ranged from sc,%ibed by cities and counties has the taxables wo u l d to 16,0004000 dols to 400,000 dols., where j o t as high as from 4,000,000 dols. 8. These municipgauai guarantees created have been secured by all the arou t nd s ti t i h ea t the State Legis latures could throw counties have been required toy allaenvliYard collect, in The cities and case of necessity, taxes (as an cipal taxes are) from their own citizen s other math sufficient to pay the interest, and provide a balanc e as a s i nki fund to pay off the no debt, when it should n y. western city become due. In instance has any or county hitherto neglected to do this, nor is A likely that any ever will. 9. The bonds thus issued to railroad companies by cities and counties are guaranteed by the roads ' and then sold in the market. The y h ave all the legal force of a lien on all the property of those cities or counties, real and personal, a n d, if the proper authorities do not provide for the payment of the interest and principal, a mandamus, or an • all the can be issued, by which ordinary suit at law real and personal property of the citizens of those cities and counties can be attached and sold. Many years since the city of Bridgeport, in Connecticut, gave her bonds to a railway company for $lOO,OOO. For some re ason th e payment of these bond s'as delayed. A. holder brought a suit against the city in the State Court, and the Supreme Court decided on appeal that the individual property, real and personal, of each citizen, was liable for the debt of the city, and could be sold on execution of the detree.

For a long time, it ap pears, there was only one window of about a couple of fet square, through which an eager and angry host of persons who had business with the postal Cerberi of the empire city of Melbourne could catch a glimpse of them, and according to the last accounts there was great re joicing because four windows had recently been opened. Why not divide and subdivide the poste restante correspondence according to the first two or three initial, and open twenty windows ? Draft off a dozen post-office clerks from Plymouth, Southampton, or Liverpool, or any other place where mail packets arrive, and they would soon relieve the enlightened and wealthy cities of Sydney and Melbourne from the stigma of having postal arrangements inferior to any town in the back woods of America.

The directors are acquiring land and proceeding with the works of the Taff Vale Extension, and they an ticipate opening it as far as Crumlin on the Ist of Sep tember, 1854. Arrangements. e of a mutually advan tageous character have been entered into between this company and the Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company, by which it is provided that the engines and carriages of this company shall pass over the lines of the Monmouthshire Railway Company, and every facility be afforded for the interchange of traffic be tween the two companies, the requisite station accom modation at Newport being supplied. The Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, on which this company relies for its northern communication, will b e opened simulta neously with the Newport, Abergave nny, and Hereford line.

His father had pur chased an old chest of drawers which had been in me in the family for fifty years, but at length becoming unserviceable it was put in the yard to be broken up for firewood. It soon, however, fell to pieces, and one of the children playing with the fragments found a roll of paper. On examination this proved to contain Bank of England notes to the value of 3001. The paper enve lope was marked "Robt. Allen." The man took one of the notes for 301. to a bank and got it changed, and then stated the circumstances connected with his pos session of it.
