NOW that the new Directors have been duly installed into office, we are tempted once more to advert to the recent differences in this Company, which, as involving property to so great an amount, have drawn so much attention and created so great an interest—not for the purpose of re flecting on the late Directors, but with the view of warning others in like trusts, more particularly their sucessors, against errors similar to those laid to their charge. The great question, of course, was the proposed amalgama tion with the Forth and Clyde Canal. to which many of the terms, but to whom, as to us, the proposed terms appeared to tally unfair. The railway was paying six per cent., the canal four. Now, taking this for the criterion their repective va lues, (and there was a greater prospw,,toeflin improved dividend from the former than the lattorrtor while the one was ad vancing in prosperity the other was retrograding,) and apply the rule•of three to the ,subject—if 6 give 100, what will 4 give ? —the answer will be .L.V6 13.

Throughout they displayed a total deficiency in those enlarged views and that precision of judgment especially required for dealing with the important matters with which they were en trusted. And however much the shareholders might regret the hasty step rendered necessary by their conduct, it was impos sible they could allow them to go on thus blundering.

This wizard of wizards has nightly given an entertainment that defies description, for the feats be accomplishes in necromancy are so adroitly rsecuted, that, to say the least, they leave the most acute in wonder and astonishment—impossibilities appearing re alities. In ventriloquism, Mr. Jacobs is also excellent ; and lir.

Itis a natural supposition, that the greater the .ve locity of a body in rapid motion (such as a railway train), the greater the proportionate atmospheric and tractic re sistance it has to encounter ; but the experime n t s o f M r. Russell and,caters—which have eitended over six years, and have been made upon various lines—completely over turn such a notion. It is shown, that while the resistance in pounds per ton to a train travelling at the rate of 31 miles per hour is as 23'30, the resistance at 32 miles per hour is only as 18'201bs per ton ; and, what is even more surprising, the resistance at a speed of 45 miles per hour is as 21'70, or above 2lbs per ton hss than that opposed to a train going at 31 miles per hour. The amount of re sistance at 41 is nearly the same as that at 51 miles per hour, or about ^" Although these figures 29- lbs: per ton sre given as only an approximation to cnrrectnese, yet similar proportion& as to resistance to various velocities are ascertained to be correct by a formula of calculation . . which produces figures, nearly the same proportions NEWSPAPERS.—From a book of statistics, recently published by the authorities of the city of Boston, it ap pears that no less than twelve acres of newspapers are printed in Boston daily.
