Sir,—The world at large will be sunirieu to hod, that
you cannot address your Philistines at Ediubro, for an hour
together, without introducing a subject upon which you Aro
as ignorant as you were two years ago of William Penn's
monde, or of James (quere John ?) Viscount of Dundee's
christian name.

You may, or may not merit the comprehensive title once
applied to you of "book in breeches " ; but you should
recollect, that many books (inoluding the two first volumes
of your own history,) are generally consider'd very pleasant
reading, and very poor authority. 5ti11,..• profesed his-
torian and monibst, it cannot have escap'd your notice that,

fiously from the charge of inconsistency. Otherwise,
all argument, and evidence mast be dispens'd with dafiai-
tivcy.

they very consistently denied me), viz a hearing—l might

to coin base and ungenerous motives.
To raise a laugh at the expense of the absent, and the
helpless, has long been the prevalent wakes of what is

EAST INDIAN RAILWAY COMPANY.

The fifth half yearly meeting of shareholders in
the above company was :held to-day at the company's
°Sees, 50, Old Broad. otter*, Mr. Joseph balendale iu the
chair. After the usual formal preliminaries, the secretary.
Mr. D. J. Noed, proceeded to read the report, as inverted
in one columns of Thareday.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report he adopted,
tendered any information that might be required by the
meeting.
A SHAREHOLDER inquired whether the new capital
would be under the acme guarantee as the old ? Also,
what would be the mode of distribution of the chores? '
The CIRIRSIAN considered that as the matter was
still in the hands of the East India Company, who had a
halaisee.of 500,000/., any declaration would be premature.
Th.re would, no doubt, he one or too meeting before the
arrangement and distribution of the new capital.
Another SHAREHOLDER asked what would be the
amount of the new capital ?
The CHAIRMAN.—IIad not the least idea what would
he tl.c amount of the new capital.
A SHAEHOLDER asked what was intended to be dose
with the furfetted shares
Tbo CHAIRMAN—They remain in the hands of the
company. If disposed of, the shareholder, will have the
benefit.

A SIIAREIIOLDER asked what length the existing
capital would carry the Ike ?
The CHAIRMAN said about 120 miles. If further
eate■sions were p►ojected further capital will of course be
■ . The line would probably not be open (or work
before tebl. A further s■m of M per ant. would probably
be necessary to complete the line. The further sum
necessary would be distributed rateably among the existing
holders of shares.

This announcement satisfied the meeting, and the report
was unanimously agreed to. Thanks where then voted to
the chairman, and tne proceedings terminated.

TUSCANY.

FLORENCE, AOOVST 16.
The trial of Guerazzi and Romanclli commenced
today. Other prisoners of less importance have
been purposely included in the same tudictment, in
the hope that the ridicule which attaches to the con-
duct of some of them may prejudice the case against
the principal defendants. But little progress in the
trial has been made to-day. The court was crowded.
Several members of the Corps diplornatique were pre-
sent. Guerazzi and Romanelli were brought from
prison in separate carriages, each escorted by half a
troop of gendarmes on horseback. Immediately
after the reading of the indictment, which is not yet
finished, Guerazzi's counsel will take an objection to
the jurisdiction of the court. As many as 370 wit-
nesses will be examined, although several for the
defence have been kept away. The Advocate-General
Biechiervi appears as judge-advocate. The court,
composed of judges selected for their retrograde
principles, is presided over by Nervi. The trial is
generally alluded to as " the great scandal."
Arrests to the number of 23 have been made at
Siena. Some of the prisoners have been taken to
Volterra and San Gewignano. Others have been
brought to Florence. These arrests, the cause of '
which is unknown, have produced a very painful
impression.

Lord Westmoreland arrived at Florence on the
lith from Vienna.

The French squadron left Cagliari on the 9th. Its

NAPLES.

Acorn 16.
Yesterday, in a council of state, his Majesty and
his advisers took into consideration the propositions
of an English company to construct a railway from
Naples to Brindisi. The company is formed, as far
as I can learn, and Signor Benedetto Albano, an
Italian engineer, who has long resided in London,
introduces the offer to the Neapolitan govern-
ment, through his brother, who is decorated
both by the Poppee and the Xing for political services
at Gaeta. M. Caress oea, minister of public works,
has given his support to the propositions of the Eng-
lish company, and it may end in their obtaining a
concession, and the usual guarantees, provided
British capitalists have sufficient faith to bring the
speculation into the market at home, for certainly at
the present moment few will advance money here.

SPAIN.

MADRID, A vorsll7.
The Council of Ministers has accepted the proposal
made by M. Sanchez Mendoza for the construction of
the railway from Cadiz to Xeres and thence to
Seville.

The Madrid journals of the 18th state that the
Spanish government has decided on reinforcing the
squadron eruizing off the Balearic islands. It will be
composed of eight vessels, mounting together 201
guns. They are now lying in the Bay of Roses, and
the crews are daily exercised in tiring and other ma-

THE GOLD FIELDS OF AUSTILai

Adelaide papers to the 7th of May base con!, to
hand, and afford a much more cheermg picture of
the prospects of that colony than the accounts pre-
viously received. A very beneficial effect nppears tq
have been produced by the establishment of the
monthly escort for the conveyance of gold from the
Mount Alexander diggings. Un the sth, this escort
came in with no less than 75,000/. worth of gold,
and a striking account is given of the receiption
this large amount of treasure at Addable, where no
less than 0,000 or 10,000 persons assembled to wit-
MSS its entry, including the wives, children, and oiler
relatives of many of the successful diggers. An

day and arising from the hard earnings of its inhabit.
ants was thought an event worthy of bcisg
recorded, and ',regnant with a,tufactor,yy antics.
pationa. It was recommended that a resident com-
missioner at the diggings should he at once appointtA,
and that a fortnightly instead of a monthly escort.
, should be established. With a view to thoroughly
examining the various districts of South Australia
presumed to be aurikrous, a subscription list had
been opened and a party, ten in number, consisting
of old and successful diggers, had started for the
scene of their explorations. They intend communi-
cating weekly with the honorary treasurer, who was
accordingly expected to keep the subscribers in-
formed of the progress of their adventure. With
reference to the operations of the gold assay office it
is stated that the number of deposits was 1,121, and
the value of the metal, at 3/. I Is. per ox., 411.519 f.
The Portland (Australia) Guardian states, that
some beautiful specimens of copper ore have been
brought into town from the vicinity of the Wootton.
One piece had been tested, and estimated to conthin
73 per cent of copper. The other specimen was of
almost pure metal. " This item of cheering news,'
states the journal in question, " has count to us from
such an unquestionable source, that no suspicion can
be attached to the truth of the report. With the
present low, uncertain state of the labour market,
nothing of course could be done with the richest lode
ever discovered; but there it is, the future fortune
of hundreds, and one of the numerous resources of
the district, which only requires labour to develop::

From Heraputh's Journal we extract the following
analysis of the railway traffic returns for the last

Aggregate amount No. of Average receipt
received. miles open. per mile.
1862 £319,666 6,916 L. 46 4 0
1861
18.10 , 249.981 4192 40 10 0
The ./Weay Times estimates the gross receipts
for the whole kingdom since the lit of July as fol-
lows:
Gross amount No. of Average receipt
received. miles open. per mile.

It thus follows that the amount earned since tho

period of 1851, and 161. ltis. per mile more than in
1860.

Owing to this being a holiday in the Stock Ex-
change, no business is going forward in the market
for public securities. Out-of-doors Consols are quoted
steady at 1001 to !. The price of Turkish comes
rather lower from l'aris, and the rate is consequently
widely quoted here 3 to 4 prem., but there is an in-
disposition to do business, these prices being of course

All the reports of the proceedings in the Chamber
when M. De'fosse was elected President state that
M. Coomans, when the result of the ballot was
announced, exclaimed, "It is humiliating for the
Chamber." This expression has been laid hold of by
the clerical prints as a proof the, in the opinion of
the party to which M. Coomans belongs, the votes of
the Chamber were given at random and entitled to
n. respect. This construction is refuted by the fol-
lowing letter from M. Coomans himself, addressed
to the Intlependunce Belye:
Brussels, Oct. 28.
Sir,—l read this morning in your shorthand writer's re-
of the sitting of the COS/Aber of Representatives of the
26th, after the proclamation of hI. Della, as President of
the Assembly, the Right is in a state of exasperation
diMcult to describe. M. Comeau is heard to exclaim, "it
is humiliating for the ehanibse." Bines you make me in-
sult at once M. Bellow and the Amber, it becomes my
ditty to notice the serious mistake which you have made.
The interruption reported by you did not apply either to
M. Deltoids or to the chamber. I have too much respect
for the decrees of the national representatioe, even for those ,
which are made without my co-operation, to hays boos '
capable of uttering ends a stupid insult. The warm and
repeated manifestations of applause in the tribunes which
the president, sitting it virtue of hie seniority, was sot able
to rem, alone oemeioned mete say "it is humiliating for
the chamber." This =premiss commanded the anent of
all my honourable materna, Y. Bellow himself among
the number. By impieties teatally this correction in your
next number, you will spare me the expense of employing
an "haissier," and will prove that you have simply been
led into a mistake. Couukgs, Repremstatlve.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 24th contains a royal
decree, issued on the report of the Minister of
Finance, granting a further delay of one month to
foreign creditors to effect at London, Paris, and Am-
ster, the conversion of the Passive Debt and the
Deferred Debt of 1831. This period, the decree
adds, is to be irrevocably the last allowed, and is to
date from the announcement of it in those capitals.
Other royal decrees open an extraordinary credit of
3,000,000 reale for payment of arrears due up to the
end of 1849 to his Royal Highness the Infante
Don Francisco do Paula and his family; and
one of 1,389,638 realm for arrears due up to the
same period to the Lechers de Montpensier.
Other extraordinary credits are also opened by
other decrees to the Minister of Finance. Each of the
decrees enacts that an account shall be given to the
Cotta of the credits granted. The Espana pub-
lishes an article on the future Emperor of the French,
in which it says that he will render great services to
France by effecting economic and commercial reforms,
and that if in doing so, he also maintains peace, as
be promised to do in his Bordeaux harangue, he will
be better entitled than King Louis Philippe was to

to continue negotiations relative to the question of

from the conciliatory spirit displayed by both
governments, they will no doubt be brought to a
satisfactory conclusion.

before she can venture on her voyage. Otherwise the ship

DEATH OF VIE JUDGE OF GREENWICH COUNTY
Cot:RT.—We regret to record the death of Mr. Chilton,
which took ;ilea at Boulogne, &today last. The learned
gentleman had been for • long time in a decliniag state ;
acd but few constitutions could have supported so long, the
dangerous and varied attacks Ida did. lie was about to
winter at Baden, in Germany ; but was unable to proceed
farther than Boulogne, and, at as time of his death, a
peculiar carriage was being constructed for the porpoise of
bringing him beck to his native land. Mr. Chilton was ap-
pointed Judge of the Greenwich and Lambeth County
Courts, on the death of Mr. Leahy, the Ant judge; and
will be succeeded by Mr. J. Pitt Taylor, of the Home
Circuit —Kraig Mercury.
THE DUTIES on TEA.—The following reply has

knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27th ultimo,
enclosing • memorial from the directors of the Commercial
Association, in which they submit the propriety of a con-
siderable inadificatiou of the present duty upon tea. Mr.

MUNICIPAL CONTEST AT Stlit¢WillititT.—The
recent municipal devious for this borough afford un-
mistakeable evidence of the rapid spread of liberal prin-
ciples, which • few years ago was a complete hotbed of
bigotry and intolerance. Instead of • walk over as for-
merly, all the wards but one were contested by the liberals,
but to the contest for the Welsh ward both parties looked
as the test of their relative strength and influence in the
borough. After a contest, which was more like a !Arlie-
mentary than a mere municipal election, the liberal candi-
date, Mr. Walton, headed the poll the unsuccessful tory
candidate, Mr. Monis Jones, being defeated.

We extract the following summary of the market
from Carneiro's Prices Current, dated sth ult.:—
The past week has been another of great quietness in
every branch of business, but as the crop se.lson is f..st
preaching we hope ere long to be enabled to report a more
SCUTS state of trade. It is yet very early to look for our
new yield of sugar, nevertheless it has been urrie:og
fail quantities, giving every promise of considerable sup.
plies shortly to be expected. The general quality is
ported to be good. The entries of cotton have been consi-
derable, but the quality is said to bo somewhat inferior.
The imports have been on a limited scale. Impoeta_sim,
factored bloods: During the past week but little has b(en
done in manufactured Feeds. The Swordli,b, from Liven
pool, still keeps out, and is daily looked Sur. We uncles- •
stand that measures are being adopted to settle the question
of credit between the English houses and shopkeep.rs, and
we hope very soon to announce its being arranged. En.
ports—Cotton : Four arrivals have taken place, and pur-
chases have been effected. Stock on hand, fur sale and

At the time of the Reindeer's sailing there were at

LONDON, MONDAY. NOT 8.

THE Ministers, it is said. are to take t leaf oat of
the Free Traders' book. Let us show them one they
are welcome to if they will only con its lessons and
act upon what it teaches. All the advantages of
Free Trade were not secured when the duty on fo-
reign corn was reduced to one shilling. There is
still national good to be done by carrying to it. legi-
timate conclusion the policy that made Sir Honsatr
PEEL famous, and made England comfortable, and
Mr. Dtba.ttil may well follow in the footsteps of
the statesman he so frequently abused. We can
point out for him the work to be done, and
the figures to do it with. There was laid before
the House of Commons, on the 15th of March last
and the 25th of April, two returns, on the motion of
Mr. HUME, which together give an account of 202
manufactured articles imported into this country, on
which, in 1860, customs duties were levied of
4343511., and of 58 articles of agricultural produce
imported, on which, in the same year, customs
duties were levied to the amount of 916,4361. The
Free Traders book declares very distinctly that all
these duties ought to be repealed, and the Minister,
are quite at liberty to learn that lesson and carry it
into execution.

Taking the total of these manufactured and agricul-
tural articles together, they amount to 260, and thus
the average amount of duty paid on each is 3,11044 1 ls.
not a great sum to be collected at the expense of all
the ceremonies, inconveniences, and trouble of • pro-
cess at the (Anton:l-house. Taking the manufactured

"The bulletins of the King's illness announce an

NAVAL

PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 11.—The Vestal, 26, Capt.
C. B. Hamilton, arrived at Spithead this morning from
Sheerness. After a short stay at this port she will proceed
to join the squadron of Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour
on the North American station —The Edmund, transport,
sailed to day for Plymouth.—A violent gale has been blow-
ing at this port all day from the 8.5.V1., accompanied by
heavy showers of rain. Communication is stopped with
Spithead, the danger flag being hoisted at the Ferry House
at Gosport. Two officers of the Tiger, lying at Spit-
head, ordered to rejoin their ship this morning, after
proceeding to the mouth of the harbour in • boat had to
return to avoid being swamped by the waves, and to apply
for the use of a lifeboat from the dockyard, which was
granted. The gale set in at about two this morning, and
has continued all day, and the violence of the wind is now,
6 p.m., rather increasing than abating. At about one
o'clock this afternoon another man's boat, full of passengers,
was upset in crossing the harbour. Boats from yachts sad
other vessels in the harbour immediately put lift to the as-
sistance of the persons in the water, and picked up several,
but it is sail that three persons have lost their lives.

An Austrian imperial decree of the 31st July for-
mally abolishes the instituting of the National Guard,
and in its stead there is to boa " Reserve." After
having served the eight years appointed by law,
every soldier, mailer, gendarme, and policeman—the
military borderers excepted—will belong to the re-
serve for two years. The duties of the reserve will
be, " in ease of war or under extraordinury circum-
stances to enter into active service, which active
service will cease with the unusual circumstances."

An anchorage duty of sixpence per ton had been
demanded by the English on American fishing Tea-

seized by the English. Fourteen ships of war
(English) were cruising on the grounds, four more
being fitted out at St. John's. A part of the Japan
expedition had been ordered to the scene of the dis-
pute, and the Mississippi, Commodore Perry, was
coaling for that object at New York. The President
is displeased with Webster's speech on the fishing

of affairs, it was hoped an amicable arrangement
would shortly be come to.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The entertainments at this theatre last evening
concluded with a Romantic Melodramatic Spectacle"
entitled "The Field of Tenor, or the Devil's Diggings."
This od raptandues title was of course suggestive of some-
thing belonging to California or Australia ; and indeed the
present state of society among the various kinds of gold
hunters might afford, at present, no bad subject for spectacle
and melodrama ; but this piece of last night was a most
barren affair, without any subject that deserves the name—
as innocent of any sort of meaning as the must insipid
ballet divertissement" that ever was produced at Her
Majesty's Theatre ; while it was destitute of those ale
pinions, those gratifications of the senses of sight ano
hearing, which, at the Italian Opera-house, sometimes make
up pretty well for the lack of meaning. The little that
was intelligible was the old hackneyed idea of a benevolent
fairy and a malignant fiend contending, the one to
protect and the other to injure a couple of mor-
tals ; but tho incidents aro as childish and silly
as in the poorest description of Christmas pantomime. In
fact, the piece consists of nothing but an enormous quantity
of dancing by Millie. Aerie' (who, however, dances very
well), in the character of the good fairy, and a bevy of
damsels in sky blue and spangles, her attendants ; and of
tumbling and tricks by Mr. Flexwore, the noted clown—a
clever man in his way. There was some showy scenery;
hut the bums is too small, and the stage too confined, fur
the successful production of scenic effects. The exhibition
went heavily off, and was evidently too much for the patience
of a nut very fastidious audience ; for the performance was
more than once interrupted by loud disapprobation, mingled
of course with counter-applause, and similar demonstrations
attended the falling of tie curtain. This elegant little
theatre ought to confine itself (as it has generally done) to
light comic pieces ; it is not the place for melodrama, ballet,
or spectacle.
