BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.

The report of the directors states that the consoli-
dated stock on the 31st of December last amounted to
r 2.022.4410, the preference stock to .134,574, and the
debentures to 111714,730. Of the total receipts, the Ass
of 4.1.15,1153 remains unexpended. The gradual extinction
of the debenture debt by the issue of 4 per cent. pre-
ference stock is. in the opinion of the directors. a
measure of great importance to the permanent welfare
of the company. The average rate of interest on the
debenture debt is now 432 per cent.. and the average
rate of the total preferential charge is 4.17 per cod.
The sum of 1:9,25.1 has been expended on various ileitis
chargeable to capital during the past half year. The,

SYRIAN SUPLIMITION.-At the table we bear of a
curious supendition, said to exist among the Lelia
Syrians in reference to the native students in English
schools. The English, it M thought, take a ilagnerreo-
type of the students coming from Syria ; and, when
they return, if they change their relig and go hack to
the religion f thuir country, the picture becomes black,
upon which the English stab the picture, and the man
whose likeness it is drops dead, wherever he may he,
walking, standing, or sitting. Another superstition is
associated with English shilling*, which, it is sup-
posed, if they are taken will he lost again, and the
shilling be found in the purse of the Englishman.

ged—find, with stealing a pistol the property of his mu-
ter, Major Went; secondly, with endeavouring to break
open his master's cashbox ; and, thirdly, with menacing
his muter by threatening to shoot him. The prisoner
was acquitted on the first charge, but convicted on the
second and third, the Court voitencing him to 36.5days'
imprisonment. The General Commanding-in-Chief has
since remitted half the punishment awarded by the
Court.

A coinmunication was on Saturday received by the au-
thorities of Woolwich Arsenal from Mr. Sidney Her-
bert, intimating the decision of the War Department to
appoint a Lieutenant-Colonel as Inspector of Artillery,
whose duties will be confined so the proving and exami-
nation of Armstrong and other ordnance manufactured
in the Arsenal, preparatory to their being distributed for
'orrice. This arrangement has been adopted in compli-
ance with the special request of Sir W. Armstrong, in
order to relieve the important duties of the department,
which is now in full progress for the completion of the
stipulated number of guns by the end of the year, the
whole of which will be completed without fail. A new
arrangement will then be entered into, when the whole
of the machinery recently erected in the new branch of
the establishment will be ready for use, so that the de-
partment has undertaken to turn out three guns per day
to be handed over at that ratio to the proof department,
in readiness for service, after the commencement of the
new year. A complete 12-pound battery of Sir W.
Annstsong's guns, carriages, linibera, hospital and am-
munition wagons, forges, kc., is ordered to be packed in
the carriage department of the Amnia to be transmitted
overland to China.

The result of experinienta on board Her Majesty's iron
paddlewheel steam vessel Bloodhound, the Parrainatta,
Tyne, and other ships, with Messrs. Day and Company's
patent marine cement, for coating the interior of iron
vessels, having proved satisfactory, the Lords of the
4dmiralty have directed the application of the rxiiient
over the bilge buttons plates and rivet heads on the in-
side of the iron paddle steamer liarpy, lately t coin the
Mediterranean. The process WM COll 1111111111 l on Mon-
day at Woolwich, and will be carried out on board other
ships in the Royal Navy. The cement consists of an
enamel, which resists the influence of moisture and the
destructive effect of the chemical action of acids in bilge
water, and is produced from salt, sugar, coal-dust,
guano, and other materials. It requires about five
hours to melt into& hot lava state, is applied after a pre-
paratory coating of patent composition over a clean and
dry surface, and is pronounced cheaper and better than
paint.

THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY.
THE coNORIZSR

The invitations to the l'Aingresa, it seems, have as yet
only been issued to those States which tool: part in the
Vienna Congress of 1814 ; that is to say to the five great
Powers And to Spain. Sweden, and Portugal. When
these States have accepted the invitation, and when the
congress will thus be oonstitut°l, the three Italian
States, Naples, Roiiie. and thirdinia, will be called upon
to taste their Appearance at its table. We gather moon
wale articles in the continental press that it is not yet
quite settled that the oungress. will hold its sitting at
It seems that the Prussian (instrument has ob.

jecied that Paris is not quite an appropriate -daoe. The
oh of January is the day named for the nieeting.
The Paris correspondent of the Spedalor Rya, writing
on Saturday :—" England and France are m the point
of coming to an understanding as to the course they will
adopt. Of course there are concessions on 3oth sides.
they will both advise, it is believed, that 'so tddition be
made to the present possessions of Victor Emilanuel, but
that an independent kingdom n of Central hair be estab-
lished. Such ix the advice that France aid England
will offer." .

According to the Nord, Prince Cortschakof and Coun
Kisseleff will represent Russia at the Congpia ; Count
Walewski and M. de Bonneville, France ; Ount Rech-
berg and Print* Metternich, Austria; Could Schleinits
ami Count Pourtales, Prtimia ; M. Mon, Stein; N. de

Count Ludolf, Naples; N. des Ainbrois, Piedmont.
Lord Cowley and Lord Wodehou e will protably repre-
sent England; but Lord Clarendon, Sir llanilton Sey-
mour, and Lord Elgin are also talked of. The report
that the Pope had already consented to he reoresented at
the approachind congress, and that his !lollies' had ap-
pointed Cardinal Antonelli first plenipotentia7 is without
foundation.

YEOVIL AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

On Friday week was one of the largest and most suc-
cessful of the show, of this flourishing society ; in-
deed, next to the Bath and West of England's, there
is nothing in this part of the world that can hold a
candle to Yeovil. Its locality is admirable, the
show-ground being exceedingly spacious. Its prize
list uses lung and heavy, and the arrangements of
Mr. Shorland Watts, the hon. secretary, and the
committee were most comprehensive and complete.
In addition to a show in every elan that rendered a
prize worth talking about, there were many of the
adjuncts of a large agricultural meeting; a consider-
able show of implements, a tent for cheese, and
&binds for cattle foods. One of the agents foi this
condiment was declaiming in true Cheap Jack style
on the advantages of the lentils, peas, ainseed, arc.,
which, ground up and converted into cattle food, is
purchased, under the inducements of showy placards
and pictures of sleek cattle, by unsuspecting and too
confiding people at 200 per cent, above its cost. If
there was one bad clams in the show it was that of
the Devon bulls, which presented no animals besides
those of Mr. Pope that deserved attention. The
Devon cow stock, on the contrary, was excellent and
the competition very large. Herefords were well
represented, and in sheep and pigs the competition
was large and excellent. Mr. J. Moore, the famous
prize winner, of Littlecott, sent down the best rain.
Mr. Lucas, Mr. Robert Brook, audJ. J. Farquharson,
Esq., maintained the reputation of their flocks; and
Mr. Harlin was, as usual, successful with his famed
Hampshire Downs. There was a very large show of
horses, but the winner of Mr. Digby's prize was
decidedly superior to any other hack shown. In the
fat stock the cow of Mr. Daubim anal the heifer of
Mr. Coles were "pictures." In cheese, the old
"Double Dorset" or "blue vinied" was marked for
• prize, and a very nice lot indeed it Waif that was
shown by one of Lady Georgina Fane's tenants.

AUSTRALIA.
THE COLONY OF lICTORA.

_ .....
Wo take the following from the MrlGairne Argra 01
the 11th of October:—

Since our last monthly despatch the Victorian Par-
lianient, under the reformed (;onstitoion, has been
opened in form, and will to•morrow enta upon its brat
session. In the .kamenibly, Dr. Idurply has been re-
elected Speaker without opposition.
The great race for the championship ofthe Australian
colonies was run on the lit of October before • con•
course of 40,000 penions—the largest nultitude ever

Victorian honie, and was scarcely named is the betting.

THY GOLD FIELDS.
The deficiency of the escorts for some walcs past was.
to people at • distance an unsatisfactory bit convincing
evidence of the dulness prevalent of late in the gold-
fields—that is to say among the actual milers. There
have been no important discoveries or exteisive move-
ments of the population to break the mondony of the
digger's life. It has lung been said by mei who had
taken the trouble to search for tleinselves Hat the bed
of the Yarn contained lipid in considerabls quantity
from a short Way above Melbou-ne to a long distance
upwards, and that fur • length o' many miles :t could be
worked most profitably with suiable appliances, but the
idea WAY scouted until very htely. A company has,
however, now been forum.' to work the bed of the river
near Anderson's creek, and a few days since the direc-
tors and some friends proceeded to the spot chosen, with
the object of judging for themselves how far the sur-
veyor's reports were true. Dishes full of sand from the
bed of the river, and earth from its banks were taken at
random, and washed in their presence, and at every
trial gold was obtained ins proportion promising great
results to the efforts of the company. The portion of
the river channel chose i for this experiment has the
advantage of offering great facilities for the inversion
of the water, but WM no nlication of being more aurife-
rous than miles of the bed above and below this par-
ticular spot.
As we have already dated, there have been no very
iuiportant discoveries cluing the last few weeks. A
sample of gold was shovn lately as portion of a parcel of
sonic ounces that wen taken in a short time from •
claim on anew gold-tied near Mount Raw Raw, on the
road from Melbourne ta Gins Land, but nothing is yet
known of the extent .r richness of the deposits in this
locality. Another thep lead has also been proclaimed
in the Indigo iliatriA, and in various parts of the
country new patches of auriferous ground have been
struck, but nothing has occurred for some months past
to cause a rush on anything of an extensive scale. The
usual number of newreefs has been opened up, and the
old ones are yieldingtheir average produce of gold ; but
the intelligence frointhe mines has of late been barren
el incidents calling fa more than • passing remark.

Extraord'inary excitement exists ill Virginia arising
out of the Harper Ferry affair. On the 17th ultimu
alarming accounts were forwarded from Charlestown to
It 11111 l d to the effect that a movement for the libera•
tin, of Brown was hourly anticipated, and that various
barns and sheds had been fired by confederates of the
incarcerated martyr. This exciting news produced the
effect that was to be :oiticipated. Large bodies of
troops woe moved upon the scene of contemplated
hostilities, the Governor himself RI cmiwanying them.
The pate throughout the State suddenly attained the
wildest stage. indiscriminate arrests were niade, the
eye of partial justioe fixing itself itore especially upon
the pedlars, who are to the found in every village and
upon every road. We are now told that the inoving
cause of all this alarm was the accidental conflagration
of • haptack.

Court of Appeal in criminal casks, Captain [frown made
an effort to get his casie re-considered. On this occa-

mously decided that the verdict and sentence were

FOR THE CURE OF DROPSY._

Holloway's Pilbi for the cure of dropsical affections.—
The causes of this direful disease are various. It is often
engendered by the morbid state of the system whereby
the free circulation of the blood is impeded, or it may
originate from some preceding eumplaint. The first
thing to be done to effect • cure is, to remove any ob-
structions by purifying the blood and causing the dis-
charge of the superabundant fluids from the hotly; for
this purpose take Holloway's Pills, um they possess such
cleansing properties that the dropsical patient is gradu-
ally restored to health, and the whole frame is peruia-
nently renovated. These pills may be safely taken by
male or female, at all periods of life. The Ointment
will du wonders if well rubbed into time parts affected as
effectuaUy as salt is fumed into meat twice a day.

To Messrs. Shaw, Mello:, Irving, and Blackwell,
Merchants at Liverpool.
Gentlemen,—You have addresaed yourselves direct to
the Emperor 'to know what where his intratitnes as re-
gards Ragland.' Great fear or great confidence alone
could explain this step.
On the one side, you are possessed by the imaginary
trouble which appears to have seised your country with
the rapidity of an epidemic; and on the other, you
reckon on the loyalty of him from whom you desire •
reply. It was, however, easy for you yourselves to give
it, if you had calmly examined the true cause of your
apprehensions; that CliUl6o you would have found only
In all these rumours created among your fellow-country-
men by the obstinate propagation of the most chimerical
of alarms; because, until now, under whatever circum-
stances, there has not been • word or an act of the Em-
peror which could permit a doubt of his sentiments,
and, consequently, of his intentions towards your
country. His conduct, invariably the same, has not
ceased for one moment to show bun as a faithful and ir-
reproachable ally.
That what he has been, he will (I declare it to you in
his name) continue to be—witness again to-day the al•.
proaching community of perils to be shared at • great
distance by your soldiers and ours.
Thus, henceforth, fully reassured, oppose an error too
much spread. Great nations should appreciate,
but not
fear each other.
Receive, gentlemen, the expression of my distin-
guished sentiments.

INDIA.

A most melancholy accident occurred at Behr& Ghat
on the 10th May last. Two European gentlemen be-
longing to the Indian Railway Company—via, Messrs.
Armstrong and Boddington—were surveying a place
called Bender Coale, for the purpose of throwing a
bridge acmes the lierbuchla, the channel of which being
in this place from 10 to 50 yards wide, is fathoiuless,
having white marble rocks rising perpendicularly on
either side from 100 to 150 feet high, and beetling fear-
fully in some parts. Suspended in the recesses of these
marble rocks are numerous large hornets' nests, the in-
mates of which are ready to descend upon any unlucky
wight who may venture to disturb their repose. Now,
as the boats of these European surveyors were paining
up the river a cloud of these insczts overwhelmed them;
the boatmen, as well as the two gentlemen.luniPcd over-
board, but, has! Mr. Boddington, who swain and had
succeeded in clinging to a marble block, was again at-
tacked, and being unable any longer to resist the assaults
of the countless hordes of his infuriated winged foes,
threw himself into the depths of the water never to rise
again. On the fourth day his corpse was discovered
floating on the water, and was interred with every
mark of respect. The other gentleman, Mr. Armstrong,
and his boatman, although very severely stung, are out
of danger. This sad occurrence has east a very deep
gloom over the small town, the more so as two young
railway engineers enmtel on this line a few weeks ago
were barbarously murdered by the rebels at a place not
100 miles from this town.

ing crisis. The Cennmaner-in-Chief especially men-
tions the services of D. Moth, Dr. Linton, Colonel
Ramsay, and Colonel Thompson. 'The Governor-Gene-
ral presents these and the others with the cordial thanks
of the Government of India, but it may be expected that
more substantial marks of favour will be awarded them.
Good commivaariat and medical officers cannot be too
highly valued.

in Kerry and but one in Cork, the individual to be
selected in tlir latter case being probably • person
named Morly 3loynalion, who is the reputed ringleader
of the confederacy. If this s•stetnent be correct, Mr.
