RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE EAST INDIA RAILWAY COMPANY.—The half.
yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday.
Mr. Crawford, the chairman of the board of directors,
in moving the adoption of the report, observed that
it gave a very satisfactory statement of the com-
pany's position. Some of the works were still delayed
by the insurrection in India, while others had been
entirely abandoned ; but, wherever they could be
pushed on, not a day had been lost, so long as the
means for transporting material could be found.
During the past year the company had opened for
public traffic 148 miles of railway, and very shortly
an addition of twenty-two further miles would be
made to that total. Up to the present time the traffic
upon the railway already open would yield a return
upon the outlay of at least sever. and a half per cent.,
and, on the whole, the directors bad no reason to
alter their already expressed opinion of the hopeful
prospects of the undertaking. After considerable
discussion, the report was adopted.
THE LONDON AND SOUTII-WESTERN.—A general
meeting of this company was held on Wednesday,
for the purpose of considering the recommendation
of the directors to lease the Staines and Wokingham
and the Portsmouth lines. The proposition to lease
the Staines and Wokingham lines was agreed to
without opposition, but that with regard to the Ports.
mouth line created a lengthened discussion, the chief
ground of objection being that it would lead to a
collision with the Brighton Company. Against this
it was urged, that if matters were left as they were,
the South-Eastern Company would step in and ex-
tend their hue to Southampton. The proposition
was ultimeteiy carried by a large majority.

THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM NAVIGATIONCOMPAHY.
The general meeting of this company was held on
Wednesday. The principal topics discussed were the
loss on the Australian contract, and the relative
merits of the screw and paddle-wheel vessels. The
chairman said, their fleet was in an efficient condi-
tion, and their affairs in a promising position. The
report was adopted, with a vote of thanks to the
direction.

and William afterwards bade him take the name of Fort-
escue, with the motto, " Forte acutum, gains Ducum."

The origin of the baronets' " red hand" may
perhaps be new to some of our readers :

The truth is, that the hand formed part of Ow Arms of
the Province of Ulster, and commemorates the daring of
a bold adventurer, who bad vowed to be the first to touch
the shore of Ireland, and finding his boat left behind, cut
off his band and flung it before him, to accomplish, in
this literal manner, his vow. James I. conferred this
badge on the Order of English Baronets, as being Knights
of Ulster, the defence and colonization of that province
being the ostensible reason of their creation.

Even should heraldry ever become a dead lan-
guage, it will not therefore cease to be an inte-
resting and elevating study. The technicalities
will survive as the hieroglyphics of a defunct
race, through which alone we can glean any
fragments of information respecting their modes
of thought. Should the day ever come, of which
certain enthusiasts dream, when the whole race
of man shall be clothed in drab, and the haughty
oppressor of his village well known to the patriots
of the " Surrey side ' shall be levelled with his
own ploughmen—should valour, generosity, and
romance die out with the struggles that evoked
them, and poetry. and the arts perish with the
themes that inspired them—should the genera-
tion ever come which

Viz credit vizisse genus quibus unica cure
Bella segni, pudor unus erat non vincere bello—
let us at least hope that Englishmen will be so
far undegenerate as to recall with emotions of
pride those great deeds which they are no longer
called upon to emulate. In that case, heraldry
will still have its uses. But, pending the arrival
of that, it is to be hoped, far distant period, the
study of this science cannot be unfruitful to a
generation engaged in such arduous enterprizes
as the present one. If this be an age of hope
rather than of faith, and of duty rather than of
loyalty, yet it must never be forgotten how similar
are the qualities which these motives are calcu-
lated to develop. From this point of view,
there is no kind of zeal or enthusiasm of which
the contemplation is not more or less valuable in
the nineteenth century ; and heraldry, as the
voice by which one beautiful form of this virtue
addresses the world, is deserving of all the honour
and protection we can award to it.

PRUSSIA.
THE REGENCY.
At the united sitting of both Chambers, on Monday,
the necessity of the Regency was unanimously
acknowledged. The sitting concluded with enthu-
siastic cheers for the King and Prince Regent three
tames rapeated. At one o'clock on Tuesday the
members of both Chambers assembled in the White
Saloon of the Royal Palace. The Prince Regent, after
haring thanked them for the patriotic unanimity with
wh ch they had co-operated in the establishment of
the Regency, took with a firm voice the constitutional
oath. The President of the First Chamber thanked
his Royal Highness in the name of the country, and
the President of the Second Chamber gave three
cheers for the King and Prince Regent. The
Minister President, Von Manteuffel, then declared
the Diet closed.

THE BANDITTI.

The diligence which plies between Madrid and
Leon was stopped a few nights since at three•quarters
of a league from the city-gates by a party of eight
men, armed kith guns and pistols. The passengers,
to the number of fifteen, were compelled to alight
and give up their money and jewels to the value of
120,000 reels. Nobody was ill-treated, and a few
trifles were returned to some of the passengers who
requested them.

Henry's Royal Modern Tutor for the Pianoforte.

London : D'Ahnaine and Co.
Tun above work, which it appears has already
reached its twentieth edition, is one of the best
as well as the most popular " beginning-books"
of the present day. .The instructions are copious,
and expressed in plain, simple language, such as
children may readily understand.
All passages arc carefully and ingeniously fin-
gered, and particular attention is paid to the
study of musical "time," a subject of paramount
importance to all who would become efficient
players or singers, but which, for some unac-
countable reason, is but very superficially dealt
with in most of our instruction books.

specify them, especially since the full truth will be
laid bare to the public by the searching investigation
which the authorities are sure to institute. As to the
possible motive of the assassins, it is currently be-
lieved that the attempt on Mr. Nixon's life arose out
of the part he took in those social commotion% by
which Gweedore and Clouglisneely have latterly been
convulsed. At the same time it is accepted as the
truth that the fellows who made the actual attack
did not belong to the neighbourhood. Up to the
hour of our latest advices no arrests had been
effected, but if it be the case that the assassins flung
off their outside clothes as they ran, a clue might thus
be obtained by which the culprits would soon be
brought to the bar of justice. Mr. Nixon is being
attended by Dr. Eames, of Dunfanaghy, and Dr.
Brady. Being of corpulent habit, the unfortunate
gentleman is in an exceedingly critical state, and
mortification is apprehended. We believe that at
first the medical men did not perceive much danger,
but their opinion has latterly been considerably
altered, their patient having got weaker. He is not
able to speak, and can communicate his ideas only by

INDIA AND CHINA.

The India mail has arrived wit'► advises from
Calcutta to the 23rd of September, and from Hong
Kong to the 12th of September. The state of affairs
bad undergone no material improvement.' The
strength of the rebels is reported to be on the
increase, and the occasional defeats which they suffer
do not appear to intimidate them. In Behar Oomer
Singh had been proclaimed King of Shahabad,
and other rebels had been rewarded with distin-
guished honours. Sir Colin Campbell was making
arrangements to commence active operations against
them. In Luckuow severe skirmishes had taken
place, and in one of them our artillery bad been a
good deal cut up.
The Canton liver is again free, but we have
nothing satisfactory to report of the state of matters
in the city.

TREATY WITH JAPAN.
Letters from Hong Kong, dated the 12th of Sep-
tember, state that Lord Elgin had returned from
Japan, with a Treaty nearly identical with the one
lately concluded by that country with the United
States. It stipulates for the opening of five Ports
within a year after its ratification.
Cotton and woollen fabrics are only to pay a duty
of five per cent. on importation; while the majority
of other articles will be charged twenty per cent.
The negotiators from Pekin, appointed to fix the
Chinese Tariff, had not arrived.

THE BRIGHT BANQUET at Birmingham last night
passed off with great éclat, and elicited from the hon.
gentleman a second speech almost exclusively directed
to our foreign policy. Mr. Bright began his speech
by reference to an alleged difference of sentiment
between his constituents and himself in matters of
foreign policy, and he proceeded to demonstrate that
the views which he and his friends held in this re-
spect were not novel nor unpatriotic, and were asso-
ciated with the names of many of the most eminent
statesmen that bad ever presided over the adminis-
trative councils of England. He illustrated the
latter assertion by a reference to the declared opinions
of Sir Robert Walpole, Mr. Charles James Fox, Lord
Grey, and Sir Robert Peel. He went on to show
that though we had gained nothing good from these
undertakings, there were results flowing from them
that everyone might be expected to deplore, those
results being the expenditure of 2,000,000,000/.,
irremoveable pauperism, and heavy taxation. He
contended that the insurrection in India and
the war with China arose from a policy which
attributed English glory to this system. Alluding
to Cherbourg, Mr. Bright repudiated the fears
which many entertained, and showed how little we
could consistently condemn France for behaviour
which we had ourselves so much exhibited. He
wanted to inaugurate a new revolution of opinion,
one in which among other changes, the great anomaly
of such a rich country having to raise 7,000,000/. for
its pauper population, and the unhappy condition of
a portion of our women, would be deeply considered.
Mr. Bright concluded by a reference to the duty
which now devolved upon the advanced members of
Firliatneat and the people of England, a duty dit

A SPEECH BY JOHN BRIGIIT, M.P.
IT was scarcely' possible but that the Speech
which it had been announced Mr. BRIGHT would
make on Wednesday last should be looked for-
ward to with unusual and exceptional interest
throughout the kingdom. Till that day, since three
years ago, when that powerful frame was weak-
ened with disease, and that strong strident voice
was reduced to a whisper, Mr. BRIGHT had not
been equal to the exertion of addressing his
fellow-citizens from a public platform. A
manifesto of policy was accordingly looked for
and eagerly expected. Great preparations were
made for its reception and diffusion, and both
special trains and telegraphic wires were engaged
by our daily contemporaries to secure to their
readers the earliest possible communication of
Mr. BRIGHT'S political views.

As is not unusual in such cases, anticipation has
not been satisfied by the reality ; and Mr.
BRIGHT has fallen short of the mark which the
public had set up for him. Not, we think, from
want of strength—for his language is as vigorous,
and his mind appears as ingenious and full of re-
source as ever—but front fundamental difficulties
of situation. Mr. 13amirr, at Birmingham, in
October, 1858, was something in the position of
a photographer attempting to produce a picture
upon paper not properly prepared. Neither the
mind of the citizens of Birmingham, nor the
spirit of the country, is in that state which
renders it susceptible to Mr. BRIGHT 'S process,
and the result has been an impression blurred
and indistinct, and, as far as Mr. Buicarr s im-
mediate objects are concerned, unavailable. The
member for Birmingham is too practised a
handler of large assemblies not to have discerned
this, and accordingly his Speech throughout
bears the strongest marks of his perception of the
difficulty under which he was labouring, and of
his efforts to get over it. He regretted that
there was no French Revolution to heat the
minds of the population, and make them malle-
able under the artistic touch of the practical agi-
tator, and failing that he felt himself compelled
to make upon the imagination of his audience a
demand as strong as that preferred by Bottom
and, his company of players to Theseus and his
Court. He begged them to see things, not as
they are, but as it would suit the promotion of
his views that they should be. He tried hard to
rouse them with observations uponthe jaded
question of Corn-laws ; he begged them to repre-
sent to themselves that Lord DERBY'S great
object in 185'2 was their re-establishment, and
that he was ejected from office for having rashly
made the attempt ; he assured them that ware are
invariably forced by a dominant aristocracy upon
liesle grossly misrepresented by their Par-
; and he entreats them to believe that
the 'eers of England in 1858 are as much as
iossible the same in social habits and political
tendencies as the feudal barons of the Norman

THE AIITIIORTTLES OF NEWCASTLE have presented
Count de Maricourt, the French Consul, with an
address expressive of their confidence in the denial
which had been given by the count to the charge of
Interfering in the municipal elections, of their
personal esteem for himself, and their wish that be
might continue to exercise his functions at the port
of Newcastle. The niayor, in presenting the address,
expressed the strong personal gratification which be
experienced in being made the bearer of this
address, which be trusted would be some consolation
to the Count de Maricourt for the annoyance and
vexation he must have suffered in connection with
recent occurrences.
A Rome:inn ELOPEMENT is thus recorded in the
Moffat Times:—Our community has been thown into
a state of excitement by the elopement of a young
lady, daughter of a member of one of the learned
professions in Edinburgh, who, with his family, lice
taken up his winter residence in one of the neat villas,
Well-road, Moffat. The bold Lothano, who appears
to be a very young man, with a "military cast". tit
his habiliments, had been for some days concocting
measures for the issue that has now been arrived at;
for on ilia night of Wednesday last a conveyance was
ordered from Mrs. Cranstoun's to convey
a party to
the mail-train due at Beattock at 10.41 p.m. the
conveyance was ordered to remain at a distance from
the lady's residence, the gentleman keeping watch
and ward over it, while the driver, acting under
in-
structions, went for sundry pieces of luggage, which
were concealed among the fine shrubbery winch the
taste of the proprietor has panted round the house.

FRIDAY EVENING.
THE return of the Bank of Engiaud for the week
ending Wednesday last, the 27th inst., shows the
following changes compared with that for the week
preceding :

Decrease in Circulation.... £301,808
Increase in Public Deposits ..
Decieusa in Other Deposita 478,304
Decrease in Securities
Decrease in Bullion
Increase in Rest ...... 3,3813
Increase in Reserve
Bullion in both Departments
Circulation, including Bank Post _
Bills
The principal feature in this comparison is the evi-
dence it contains of the continuous absorption of
bullion. This week the diminution is not much short
of 150,0001.; while we know from the official report,
published in this evening's Gazette, that the actual
export has been upwards of 499,0001., including about
103,0001. in silver. As engagements are outstanding
for a further export to the Continent, it is obvious
that a reduction in the minimum rate of discount to
two and a half per cent.—a policy that would enlarge
the continental demand—is not to be expected. The
circulation is declining, although a large amount of
Private Deposits have been withdrawn, and the effect
is seen in the addition to the Reserve, which Wings
the notes up to 11,760,900/. The Private Securities
are still falling, a sure indication that the discount
business of the Bank is declining. It will be
observed that a large addition has again been made
to the Public Deposits. Thus early in the quarter
they amount to en aggregate of 6,130,0001., a fact
which confirms the impression that the Chancellor
of the Exchequer will probably make a serious.effort
to extinguish a large portion of the Exchequer Bond
debt.

TURKEY.
THE INSURRECTION IN BOSNIA.
The Agramer Zeitung, published in Austrian
Croatia, contains detailed accounts of the latest in-
surrecticu of the Christians in Bosnia. On the oth
lust., it says, the Christians in the Posaviiia, a
district in the north of Bosnia, killed Reachid-Bey,
of Gradowich. They then rose against their other
oppressors. The insurgents, who may number
8,000 or 10,000, have divided themselves into three
camps. In all the encounters they have hitherto bad
with the Turks, the Turks were beaten. The houses
of the beys in almost all the villages have been given
to flames. The collector of customs in Turkish-
Sarnsc has been disarmed, but has been permitted
to withdraw with his cash and his accounts to
Austrian Samac, where, likewise, a great number of
the wives and children of the insurgents have taken
refuge. In the village of Obudewac sixteen Maho-
medan.s were beheaded, but only two of the beys, the
tiro. richest and most distinghished, have hitherto
Perished. Ali this took place in the Nahia (hundred)
of Gradovac, against which 100 Turks of the Nahia
of Dement have now marched. According to more
recent news, the Christians have made a certain
?ahh-Aga and six other Turks prisoners. Kiami
Pacha, the Governor of Bosnia, has despatched 500
damore, and will rally about 10,000 men in a few
.y. Near Zwornik the Turkish authorities have
seized 10,000 cartridges and some guns.

Micsatmus Tgam will be reopened on Tuesday,
after the usual breakfast given by the Lord Chan
cellar to the judges and other learned dignitaries of
the law. The arrears of the common law courts for
the ensuing terra present a remarkable appear-
ance, especially in the Court of Queen's Bench,
where there is not a single case for judgment, and
where the entire arrears only number sixteen rules,
consisting of 5 new trial rules, 9 rules on the special
paper, and 2 enlarged rules. As there is only one
enlarged rule for the first day the court will proceed
with the new trial paper. In the Common Pleas in
the remanet paper there are 8 as enlarged rules,
5 rules for new trials, 7 matters for the judgment of
the court, and 12 demurrer=, making a total of 32.
In the Court of Exchequer the rules only amount
to 17-4 errors and appeals from the court, 7 in the
special paper, of which 3 are for judgment and 4 fur
argument ; in the new trial paper there are 2 for
judgment and 4 for argument. The whole " arrears "
of the three courts only number 85, about one•third
of the new trial roles formerly in the Court of Queen's
Bench. The arrears in Chancery are considerable
compared with the rules in the common law courts.
The number of arrears in the courts of equity is 339.
The number of causes before the Lord Justices is 33,
before Vice-Chancellor Wood 115, before Vice-
Chancellor Stuart 83, before Vice-Chancellor Kin.
dersley 38, and before the Master of the Rolls 72.
It will be seen that the largest number of causes is
before Vice-Chancellor Wood, who is considered tl e
" favourite " Vice Chancellor, and during the late
sittings there was such an accumulation of causes
that some were transferred to the other equity
judges, except the Lord Justices. There is a very
simple remedy to prevent a crowding of causes in
one court. As the practice exists, a solicitor can
mark on filing the bill the judge before whom he
wishes it to be beard, but if causes were taken by the
several learned judges in rotation the same number
would appear before each, and business thereby be
expedited. An order from the Lord Chancellor would
remove the existing defect.

Captain Yule also adds some valuable
chapters upon the history of Indian art
with reference to the magnificent remains
of Burman architecture at Pagan. The
subject is one of peculiar interest to the
student of Indian antiquities, and it is suffi-
cient for us to say that Captain Yule has col-
lected so much that is new concerning the
architectural style and beauty of arrangement
of these temples, and illustrated his text with
so many superb engravings from original
sketches, as to render it most acceptable to
all lovers of art, and a material aid towards
future investigations of the architectural an.
tiquities of Burmah.
The people, according to our author, are by no
means demoralised or rude; on the contrary,they
appear to be acute and ingenious, and capable
of great advances. They have a considerable
commerce with China and the neighbouring
States ; they are ardent cultivators, and the
resources and fertility of the soil are great.
In fact, Captain Yule describes the people as
being extremely industrious, fond of trade,
and most expert in the mechanical arts.
Their exquisite carvings on stone and metal
testify to a high degree of perfection in this
particular branch. At the same time we would
venture to observe that the members of a
mission are not the persona to whom we
should look with perfect confidence for dis-
tinct and accurate impressions of the con-
dition of :he people of the country they visit.
There are so many circumstances which inter-
fere in such a case to prevent the observer
from forming just ideas of the condition of
the people at large. For such visitors every
difficulty is smoothed and every pains taken
to impress the mind most favourably regard-
ing the power and wealth of the sovereign and
the prosperity of his country. Poverty and
misery are pushed aside to make room for the
appearance of prosperity and riches, and the
result is invariably an estimate far beyond
the truth. But we think an exception may be
safely made in favour of Captain Yule, who
appears to have consulted the beat authorities
extant before committing himself to any
opinion, as well as to have taken every pains
to obtain accurate information on the spot
both as to the condition of the people and
the resources of the country. The result is a
mass of minute information which it must
have cost him much labour to acquire, but
which all future writers on Burmah will justly
appreciate.

his opinion " that the material now sold varies in almost every
establishment where it is purchased, and that a tendency to
prefer a colourless and tasteless Oil, if not counteracted, will
ultimately jeopardize the reputation of au unquestionably
valuable addition to the Materie Medics."—Dr. De dough's Oil
