On this account, and because it is most important at the present disastrous crisis in railway property that right views should be arrived at, we propose to bring the contents of this pamphlet in substance before our readers. Mr. Wills sets out with a strong condemnation of the recklessness with which money was expended two years ago by the leading companies, in wanton aggressions against each other, by the projection of new lines and branch lines of their own, or by giving their support to new companies, through whom they imagined they might inflict injury upon their rivals, and To the vast incun. acid to their own Ma nus which they brought thus Another very material cause is the rapid rate at which calls have been all g made and pressed upon solvent shareholders, whip others, in some instances a majority, were allowed to fall largely in arrear.

As an instance, he describes 'what he would do in the case of a line in our own neighbourhood—the Birkenhead, Lancashire,. and Cheshire Junction Railway.

Fortunately. for the shareholders, he says,.a large por tion of whom are heavily in arrear, no progress has been made on any portion . of the line, exce pt onuthe fourteen miles between Chesterand the London and North-Western Company's line at Keakwick. He would at once begin to reduce the extent , of the concern, and thne'relieve the unfortunate shareholders from a portion of their liabili ties, by abandoning'the branch of nine miles from Hooton, on the Chester and , Birkenhead line, to He'shy Marsh ; alSo that portion of the line which runs parallel with the London and North-Western line from Keakwick-to War rington. The line from Warrington to Stockport (LS miles) lie considers ought to be abandoned, and ought never to have been taken uo'hyl this company. According to the estimate of the entireline r a saving would be thus effected of £930,000, which would leave only £1 per share to be called up to finish the whole of the really necessary part of the undertaking —provided the arrears of calls and the sums due to the Birkenhead Dock Trustees and Commis sioners were recovered.' As this is doubtful, he would fix the amount of each share at £l3 10s., leaving X 3; 10s. to be , called upon , the -. - Cl.O already paid. The calls should be spread over some period, and in light sums. He would also insist in this , as in all other cases, that the capital 'account should be promptly closed.

Property and currency are matters of fact, as much so as the breadth and quality of the soil, the climate, the number and character of the population, and the national resources. It would ind be quite as possible to c- population of a country by a circulation of counters standing for men, as to double its wealth by a circulation of pecuniary counters. If the counters be convertible they will b-e nre.sentpfl for el 0 collector of rent and poor rates.. We regret that we cannot altogether absolve the landlords of Ireland from: blame on account of this lamentable condition of the unhappy people. They have failed in setting them an example of enterprise and prudence,. and in. the duty, incum bent upon the gentry in every country, of endea vouring to instruct, in the useful arts and to school in habits of industry the classes dependent upon them.

We like much the sneer at "the golden days when Peel was in his glory, propound ing the great question 'What is a pound ?'" The latter portion is only a quixotic assault upon an imaginary windmill, and is introduced with a pur pose. No man of common sense ever fancied that "an indefinite multiplication of tokens" . was an. indefinite multiplication of wealth -. although it might be its result if we are to consider that money is the token of the possession of wealth. We repeat, however, that our contemporary is only here fighting a shadow of his own creation. Proceed then to the conclusion of the article:— traffic, via Shrewsbury and Oswestry, must of necessity pass• over it: Already the partial opening of the Chester and Holy head, and the North Wales Mineral lines, is daily increasing the traffic - between Chester aral.Birkenhead.

The objection may well enough he urged against the visionary projects of M.

How does this square with the working of our present system, under which money is in abundance, when it is not needed, and, during a period of great national want, when the country requires an increased supply of food or any other commodity, is suddenly decreased in quantity, and beyond our reach, except by sub mitting to ruinous sacrifices 3 What we want is precisely the sort of currency described by the Times—one which will expand with the expansion of our commercial manufactures generally, not one which is regulated and contracted by the diminished possession by us of one commodity—gold—and we expect to see the Times heralding us at no distant period to the adoption of the former. WE cannot imagine a spectacle so anomalous as that which Ireland presents at the present moment. We have recently been called upon to put down, at a vast expense of money, and of the exertions of our soldiery, although at no expenditure of blood, a rebellion in that country, the object of which was to separate her from Great Britain, and to place her in the position of an independent and self-support ing power. We are still engaged in the duty which mtinually reducing ibern to the ondition of a nation. of paupers. Teach,.

J. H. Stewart, who is at in Liverpool, as one of the deputation for the )ciety for Promoting Christianity among the Jews, will wolong his stay over next Sunday, and preach in the norning at St. Bride's. present SERMONS BY A COLOURED CLERGYMAN.—On Sunday, three sermons were preached by the Rev. Elie W. Stokes, a clergyman of colour, ( in connexion with the F.,piscopal Church in the United States,) in St. Michael's Church, Pitt-street. The sermons in the morning and evening were on behalf the South Church of England Schools ; and the funds gathered in the afternoon were for the benefit of the dusky gentleman's own church, in Providence, Rhode Island. MR. STEWART AS A COUNCILLOR.-At a dinner given by Mr. Hay, the architect, on Tuesday, to the workmen employed in erecting the new church at the south end of the town, he proposed the health of John Stewart, Esq., the Councillor for St. Peter'S Ward, and in doing so said, that he telt proud in saying that no man was of easier ac cess, none more ready and able to give his opinion and assistance in anything connected with their profession. lie (Mr. Hay) was prepared with a phalanx of evidence in the case that day before Mr. Rushton, [reported else where] but that the magistrate was assisted materially by Mr. Stewart, who gave his opinion on points of architecture with great clearness. They were highly honoured in hsving a member of the profession qualified to take his seat upon the bench. The services of such a gentleman were inva luable to a town like Liverpool, and none knew this better than those who were entrusted with the %payment of tlAe corporate estate and local affairs. I fully f: at iof: tion to be correct are £2002 stlyrtef what: is required to pay a 2,ar cent. dividend, which he conceives is very fair, looking at the prices of coasol; and this increase he says will,be made up, as it is understood that the Company will,not go on with all the lines in which they are engaged—•a fact of which we are assured: Whilst such statements as these are put forth in credi table quarters, as the, result of accurate calculation, it is incumbent, we think, in every holder of these shares to pause before parting with them at such, prices as are now induced by the panic which they occasion in timid or unenquiring minds. We say to all such,parties—" hold on until you haw , the accurate statemeut of your direc tors, which we feel confident will be both honest and reassuring." At a meeting last night of the electors of Everton Ward Mr. Langsdale advocated the rativg of the public property of the town, and it was resolved to, support him. WEST DERBY WARD.—AII It'ijDurned meeting of th e electors of this ward took place• last night. Mr. Plant oc cupied the chair, and asked if there were present any friends of Mr. Thos Smith who wished to propose that gentleman as a candidate for the Ward. No one answer ing, Mr. Hardy; in order that it might not be said that Mr. Smith had not had a clear stage, proposed him as a candidate ; but the motion was not seconded. It was then resolved to support Mr, Beckwith at the forthcoming con test. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening, between six and seven o'clock, James Gresham, residing in Mill-lane, Shaw's-brow, whose father keeps a shop in St. John's Fish market; whilst looking out for the arrival of boats, accidentally fell from the north end of Georges Pier. The tide was out at the time, and he fell head foremost on the stones in the water-course below. His skull was seriously fractured and he soon expired. The deceased has left a wife and family to lament his loss. CHARGE OF STEALING MONEY FROM AN EMPLOYER.— Yesterday, at the Police-court, a respectably clad youn g man, named John Jones, was charged with abstracting money from the shop of his employer, Mr. Goodacre, tea dealer, corner of Manchester-street. Mr. Goodacre said be had missed sums of money from time to time, from small cash-box, and also (as we understood him) from th till, and his suspicions being roused he had marked som half-crowns, eec.

THE LEIDD,MAYOR OF LONDON IN PARIS.—The Par;Js correspondent of the Spectator states that the Common Council of Paris and the Etat Major of the Natiozal Guard intend to give a great entertainment to the Natioaal Guards who came to the rescue e& Paris during the battle of June. It is reported that tom, Lord Mayor and Alder men of London are to receive an invitation, as a mark. of gratitude for th- ' he French National ae reception given to tL Guards who have lately visited ; London. The application for a divorce in the Philadelphia courts, by Mr. Pierce Butler, against his wife, Fanny Ketuble Butter, is on the ground that she has deserted him for two years, having been abroact forthat time in Europe.

STRANGE CONDUCT.—More than ordinary indignation has been evinced at Perth towards the officials at the Scottish Central Railway, in consequence of the conduct they displayed in declining to convey the Duchess of Su therland along their line on Sunday last, on the occasion of her being summoned to the bedside of her dying pa rent, the Earl of Carlisle, at Castle Howard, in York shire. The Duchess hired a steamer, and crossed the ferry to Edinburgh, but did not arrive in time to see her father alive. Her Grace only received the summons on Friday night, at Dunrobin Castle, and travelling as quickly as possible, reached, Perth on Sunday morning.— Glasgow Reformer. THE SCHOOLMASTER AT FAULT, — There is a remark able instance of " dulness" existing at this time, in a boy, a native of Haughton-le-Skerne, in this county. All pains have been taken to instruct, and to impress upon his memory the first rudiments of a scholastic education, without the slightest apparent effect. In other respects he is a good natured, amiable, and lively boy ; but, so far as the alphabet goes, he exceeds the usuat bounds of slow development—having been already three and a half years at school without acquiring the knowledge of the first let ter A! His father, thinking that the boy was not pro perly taken care of, tried to in,struct him, lsht after several months' labour, has failed in 4dyancing him further. — Durham Advertiser.
