PUBLIC BATIIS AND WASHHOUSES.

Yesterday afternoon, at St. George the Martyr,
Southwark, in pur,iance of a requitition signed by 300
rate-pagers, a crowd,d revery was held to consider the pro-
priety of adopting the art 9 & 10 Vie., cap. 74, entitled,
An Act to encourmle the Establishment of Public Baths
and Waahhousi s ;" awl alto the act 10 & 11 Vie., cap. 61,
entitled Au Act to Amend the Act fur the Ettablithment
of Public Oaths and Wa•lthoutes." The rector'. churrh-
warden (Mr. Jona WILSON) having been unanimously
, called to the chair, the minutes of the last two restrict were
i read and eoutirmed.

Mr. COLLINSON, chairman of the Board of Guardians,
introduced the subject in ta Ivry tengthi nod statement, and
bemired to more that th.• act he .tdopted by the parish.

Mr. ARCHER, while approving of the principle of pub-
lb. baths, was averse to committing the parish, by adopting
the resolution to a course which might end in the additi 111 l
ofa heavy harden to the already hem ily Used ratepayers,
ns/aimt whom no fewer than 2,1400 ,11:11U1011%, had bet n is-
sued in one year. (Hear, hear.) If ties.: institutions were
such profitahle thine* they could nut exptet a monopoly ;
and he reminded them of what had meurred in the railway
world. The vaunitsl revenues of some of tLe older hoes
had prosubell a hoot of competitors, and the result had been
a oriole-lin-ad ruin. ((pear, boar.) Ile, therefore, proposed
that a committee be formed to confer with the neighbouring
parishes, so as to hring about the erection of n joint estab-
lishment.

Mr. Elf‘rAltD PALMER demurred to any union with
the other parishes, for be thought they hod had experience
evough of that in the Tilbury estate. (Ike?, hear.) lie
was, however, in favour of an adjournment, in order to ob-
tain further information; and, in mociact a second amend-
ment to that ofirt, he entreated the me: tine not to suppose
that he wanted to get rid of the question by a aid* wind.
(Hair, boar.)
Mr. HER- E excited some enlacement by offering to lay
hefore the pariah ri plan by which they might raise the '
money without g to government, and thus not merely
avoid haying to pay the 5 per cent. interest, but actually
ga;n 71 ear vent. on the outlay.
Mr. I'ALNI ER, orcro:er, opposed the measure, on the
ground that he W:l4 opposed to ineriesing the taxation of
the parish, and becowe he ohjecterl to their becoming
"sliaiers•-ers-genentl" to the district. (Laughter.)
A long and tedious diseue‘ion followed, which was termi-
nated by the withdrawal or the first two propositions and
the adoption of Mr. Edward Palmer's motion.
A cowman. e of seven gentlemen was then appointed,
and the meeting adjourned to a future day to receive its
report.

LAMBETII.

LORD HrNTINOTOWER AND RIA LADY.—Mr. Huddle-
stone, the barrister, waited on the magistrate to make a
statement with reference to the application of the lady
calling herself the wife of Lord Huntingtower at this court
on Saturday last. Front the opening of the learned coun-
sel's statement, it was expected that he was about to pro-
duce evidence in contradiction to the lady's allegations; he,
however, confined himself to a personal and general denial
of the claim of the lady, called by hint Mi-s Acford, to be
Lord lluntingtower's stile. His lordship had lived with
her, but the connexion had ceased for several years. Lord
Huntingtower had repudiated her claims to bear hia name
by advertisement as long ago as November, 1848,
and had declared that he would not be responai-
Me for her debts. His lordship's family had investigated
the claim referred to, and satisfied themselves that it hail
no legal foundation ; they were nevertheless disposed to as-
sist the lady if she would renounce her pretensions to be
Lord Huntingtower's wife. Miss Aeford's statement
having been made before a magistrate, Lord Hunting-
tower's friends had desired hint to make this explanation,
in order that the statement of the young woman might not

go uncontradietecl.
Mr. Elliott remarked that the case originally came before
his colleague, Mr. Norton, upon a complaint again,t the
pariah for not relieving the children, and as the state no-id
on Saturday was e.r parte, lie (Mr. Elliott) felt bound to
Iner the learned gentleman in reply.
Mr. liuddlestotte expressed his thanks for this kindness,
and here the matter dropped.

Basscor v. Btu

Being the first entered was the first =be taken this
mornit.4.
Mr. Atherton and Mr. W. 11. Hodgson appeared fur the
plaintiff ; Mr. Temple and Mr. Otter fur the defendant.
Mr. Atherton opened the plaintiff's curt•. Ile stand the
facts found in our intivaluctory matter, and itukeatt•d the
items ley which he arrived at hi. -ISO!. One of the niudes
was to take the total amount of all the coal. rent to Black
on sale ; to assione that each waggon contained GO cwt.,
and that they ...ere :old at uniform priers. From the total
thus mad•• up he &dueled all the fortnightly &vault:owes
made by Black, and debited the latter with the balance.
There were various other itans.
The case for the plaintiff hating been gone through, Mr.
Temple addressed the jury for the defendant.
A great many witnesses were then called, examined, and
eras-examined. They proved that sev‘ r.ll of the item.
which the plaintiff had objected to were just and regular,
and explained the matter of the carriage and the stamp. It
was also proved that waggons of coal du not, on the
average, weigh more than 431 hundred weight ; and
that in retailing that quantity, in small lots, a
Loss miss, of from three to four hundred pounds in the
435 cwt. The agent of another coal-worker. engaged in
precisely the some kind of business, proved likewise that
the practice invariably was to take the agent's return of the
weight realised, and that surcharge of that kind wee out
of the question, because nu agency could exist under such
on operation.
At six o'clock Mr. Baron Platt adjourned the case till
to-morrow morning at nine, when it will be resumed ; and
the cause Black v. Benson (8.j.) will conic on as soon as
the other is concluded.

Advices from Vienna of the 14th inst. announce
the expulsion from that city, and from the Austrian

General of the United States of America, and for the

newspaper. It is asserted that the order for his ex-
pulsion emanated from the Emperor himself, and its
cause is to be found in the opposition which Mr.
Warrens has shown to some measures of the govern-

reflected peat discredit upon the moral character of the

umenitant.
Mr. Child produced the bankers book, and submitted
that as the account showed a balance of 270/. or 2801. ou the
tls* the money was said to have been advanced, the plain-
tifa statement RS to the defendant being short at that time
was clearly incornet.
His Honour, aftercarefully inspecting the bankers book,
observed that it completely confirmed the plaintiff's evi-
dence, and showed that the account was short.
Mr. Child called Ids Honour's attention to the sums
which had been paid out.
His Honour said he bad carefully taken them iato ac-
count, and looking at the whole of the facts he had no hesi-
tation in coming to the conclusion that the plaintiff WAS en-
titled to his judgment.
Judgment accordingly.

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1851.

deliberately designed to offend and provoke, and by the I
putting forward also of a certain pastoral, the tumult
would not have been raised. He had one or two simple
I facts to communicate, which were within his own know-
{ ledge. First, there did not reach England an authoritative
° copy of the apostulical letter, nor was it in the hands of
. I any English pre ate, until a full month after the letter of
i Lord John Russell appeared. The document was never in-
tended to be brought officially forward ; but it had been
promulgated to the world. 137 an accident unexplained,
even at that moment, mid which the authorities of Rome
had failed to be able to trace, a copy of the apostolical
Iletter sea, publi.hed in two French newspapers; and con-
sequently it was seised by the English pawn full six weeks
belore a single copy authoritatisciy reached England. .1
• I word with reference to the pastoral which had deservedly
; become famous. When his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman

.....
penned that pastoral, he (the Bishop of Birmingham) bad
every means of knowing that he only contemplated the con-
gregations undo his own jurisdiction. He couched it in
language perfectly intelligible to them—although by a little
garbling it could become unintelligible to others—and only
contemplated the circulation of it amongst his ca-
tholic subjects. He was not aware that there was
such voracity—as he expressed it—amongst the Eng-
lish press for catholic documents—he was unaware
that there was any excitement in England, and when the
document was brought forward the l'nme Minister could not
deliver a fragment of that pastoral to the house without
garbling it in such a manner as to omit the most cuential
words showing the spiritual object that was contemplated.
And now he asked, had the c atholics of Ireland, or their

bishops, done aught either with reference to the pastoral or
to the apoitolical letter to incur the persecution which had
been visited on them. But nevertheless, now in England

and Ireland catholic bishops were outlasted ; and, as a ne-
cessary consequence, the laity, the priesthood, and the
whole church were prescribed by this enactment—for law
he could not call it. No doubt they were bound to sustain all
honourable, just mid rightous laws, and to support the go-
vernment of the country, when they could conscientiously
do so; but it was their duty to consider what their course
should be with reference to this bill, and he would tell them
London, England, 1851-08-21

agents to carry on the agitation. The assembly, also, ex- I
pressed its hearty sympathy with a publication entitled
" The Counsels or Peac •," and tendered to the Rev. Daniel
Walton, its author, its deep sympathy, under the insult and I
attempted degnidation by the %I esleyan conference that its
publication has brought upon him ; and, further, that the
other well known friends of religious liberty, the Rev. Dr.
lit auniont, the Rev. Thomas Rowland, and the Rev. W.
Burnett, who are likewise under the censure of the con-
ference, are assurzil of the continued regard and heartfelt
sympathy of the Wesleyan motile.
It was likewise resolved that a guarantee fund be formed
for the protection of trustees from costs in any legal pro-
ceedings that may he taken by conference. Each body of
trustees to contribute 10i., which will entitle them to the
benefit of the fund. One pound to be contributed forth-
with; the other sums to be paid as the occasion may
require.
A resolution was also adopted on Tuesslay,urging upon the
people to a consistent adhesion to the pi-evil/WI decision of
" no secession, no surrender, and no supply ;" even to stop-
ping the pew-rents.
The delegates, some of whom came from the south as far
as Exits r and Cornwall, and north from Glasgow, ex-
pressed themselves much pleased with the hospitality of the
inhabitants of Newcastle and its neighboiirhood. Sheffield
having been chosen as the plit.le of meeting fur the
preachers' conference next year ; upon the invitation of the
Vest Riding delegate., a number of whom were present,
the people's eiinference will also be held in that town ill

RAILWAYS.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocc.

Though business is characterised by great inac-
tivity, the market for railway shares is alto-
gethse better to-day, and nothing can be
done except at higher rates. Lancashire and
Yorkshires, London and North Westerns,
South Westerns, Midlands, and North Staffords,
besides others, show a sensible improvement, and the
appearance of half a dozen buyers would be sufficient
to mum a considerable advance.

The total receipts on the South Eastern Railway
for the week ending the lit Nov., amount to 13,7671.
and the return Mr the corresponding week of
1850 being 11,7641., the increase h shown to
be 2,0031. The London and Brighton receipts are
10,8581., against 10,4911. last year, being an increase
of 3671.

Now, this is really a very pretty income to bo
I gained by the pleasant employment of 3,000 d. and
the farmer's time, or so much of it as he can spare
front rural sports and protection meetings, and I do
say that I am rather afraid that such signals of dis-
tress held out before the eyes of the number of
shrewd men, who are seeking to employ their money
profitably, will be more likely to increase the com-
petition for farms, and bring more men into our
business, than to induce the public at large to submit
to a reimposition of the corn laws. If we deduct the
imaginary loss of the balance sheet, 2.131. 10s. from
the above real profit shown, there will still remain a
net gain of 3571. 6s.—nut much amiss for a distressed
agriculturist in the agonies of a transition from pro-
tection to free trade, whose capital is barely suffi-
cient to farm his land well, and who has obviously
very topping notions as to private expenditure.

But there is another, and, I am happy to say, a
very large class of farmers who put their shoulders
to the wheel manfully, without culling upon Her-
cules, and who lay down uo arbitrary rates of in-
terest, or pleasure or family expenditure, put all tho
capital and energy they can muster into their busi-
ness, and then get as much and spend as little as
they can until they. have mastered the cultivation of
their farms, and gained a position of complete inde-
pendence. These men, no doubt protectionists origi-
nally, have very generally abandoned the futile cry,
and are now rather seeking earnestly and urgently
that re-adjustineut oicontructs and fair dealing front
their landlords the times require than anything else.
Of this I shall ou a future occasion give you somo
illustrations which have come under my notice.

A MIDLAND COUNTIES FARMER.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The late ministerial changes in Denmark have
provoked the decided disapprobation—expressed in
late notes addressed to the cabinet of Copenhagen—
both of Austria and Prussia. The negotiations of
M. Mille Brahe have been thereby brought to a full
stop. The views of the present Eider-Dane ministry,
with respect to Schleswig, considerably vary from
those of their predecessors. M. Rifle Brahe, as soon
as they were installed, required a statement of the
measures they intended to adopt, especially with re-
ference to Schleswig; but though he has twice de-
manded the cxph►nation, he has received as yet no
answer ; whilst, at the same time, no reply has been
given to the Austrian and Prussian notes, which de-
clared that the courts of Vienna and Berlin could
place no confidence in the actual ministers. It would
thus appear that new embarrassments have arisen,
and that the settlement of the Danish and Duchy
affairs, instead of being promoted, has been thrown
back by the new modification of the Danish cabinet.

THE POLICE COURTS.

Eli ILDHALL.

. ....
Joins 77m3elia was placed-
at the bar before Alderman
Lawrence, upon the chars., of stealing four fowls, two
ducks, and a brace of partridges, value 1.55., the property of
his employer.
Mr. James Hubert Cooke said—l am a poulterer, carry-
ing on business on Holborn-hill. Prisoner was in my
service. On Saturday he was going out of the shop, when
I observed something sticking out of one of his trowsers
' pockets, and called hint back and asked bim what he had
concealed there. Ile said, "Only a duck," which he im-
mediately produced. (Laughter.) I then asked him if he
had anything else, when he put his hand into the other
pocket, and brought out this fowl. (Laughter.) I then
demanded if that was all, but to my astonishment he put
his hand into his trowsen again and produced another duck
and then another fowl. (Great laughter.) 1 repeated my
inquiry, when he plunged his band again into his capacious
trowsers and drew forth a brace of partridges. (Renewed
laughter.) I thought that, like the man at the theatre
who displayed such a partiality for waistcoats, he would
never stop, and was about to call in a constable to have him
searched, when he for the last time made another dive into
his unmentionables, and brought forth two more fowls.
(Roars of laughter.)
Alderman Lawrence—Arc those the fowls and ducks ?
Prosecutor—Yes, sir; but the heads have all been cut off
to make them fit the trowsers more conveniently.
Prisoner—l was driven to do this from distress.
Alderman Lawrence—l can't believe that, for the officer
found U. Ss. 7d. on you. I shall therefore send you to the
Roust of Correction for three months, with hard labour.

WORSHIP-STREET .
John Stephenson, a middie-aged man of surly and vindic-
tive appearance, described as a weaver, was charged with
so brutally assaulting his wife as to endanger her life.
The poor woman was supported across the court in a state
of manifest agony, and with much difficulty, owing to weak-
ness, deposed that the prisoner had assaulted her on several
occasions lately, and in the course of one of these attacks he
had fractured some of her ribs. In order to procure sus-
tenance and medical aid she had taken refuge in the work-
house, from whence she had been sent that; morning in an
omnibus to give evidence against her husband. A medical
gentleman, Mr. Camp, of Victoria-park-road, happened to
be in the same vehicle, and seeing the dangerous condition
in which she was, he hired a cab and had her conveyed at
his own expense to the court.
Mr. Ilammill severely censured the conduct of the work-
house people in placing a woman who was almost in a dying
state in an omnibus.
The prisoner was remanded until his wife is sufficiently
well to attend and complete the case against him.

CASUALTIES.

(From war

Delight (brig), of Workington, arrived last night, having
on board seven seamen, taken tram the wreck of a large
vessel which was totally lost on Arklow Bank on Tuesday
night. She came up with the wreck about tire miles N.
of Wicklow Head ; one of the above number had his kg
broken. From information received from them, it seems
she was a Greek brig, bound from Liverpool to Constan-
tinople, with a general cargo, and had (including captain
and mates) sixteen hands on (ward; but as to the fate of
the remaining six they are ignorant ; but from the infor-
mation received by the Cambria schooner, from London,
Captain Louin, their fate is doubtful, as he fell in with
another portion of the wreck, in which he found one of
the poor fellows inn melancholy state of exhaustion, float-
ing about; he was in this condition two days when the
Cambria came up with him.—Kingstown, Feb. 7.
Maria 'ferpsithea (Greek brig), from Liverpool to Alexan-
dria, struck on Arklow Bank on the morning of Feb. 6,
and became a total wreck; master and eight of the crew
drowned.--Dublin, Feb. 7.
Shamrock, Orteur, from Liverpool for Lisbon, struck yester-
day, at noon, on the north end of Blarkwater Hank,
which carried away the rudder, and started the stern post,
and the vessel becoming unmanageable, was driven on
shore on Morriscastle beach, where she now lies a wreck;
the master and country people are now saving the cargo ;
crew all saved.—Wexford, Feb. 6.

MINES.

(Fran the Dail, Ni...)

SATI'ItDAY EVFNINC.
The market has been very fluctuating during the
week, although the business in the aggregate has
been law. West Providence shares have been in
demand at 671, to 70 (a rise on last week's quota-
tions), and West ('nradons, Wheal Bassetts, Trevis-
, keys, and Botaßacks, have been sought after, but
sellers arc not easily found. Bedthrds have advanced
to 7/., and there is un increasing disposition to invest
in good dividend mines in preference to younger
speculations. Upon many new projects, dressed up to
catch the non-mming public in glowing prospectuses,
we have received numberless communications. Many
now brought forward were, we understand, worked
by men of capital a few years since, and then aban-
doned on account of their poverty. Some of our
correspondents think these should be exposed by
name; hut we can only state that a prudent man,
before embarking in a new mining speculation, should
consult some respectable agent, either on the spot or
in London. During the rage for mining, there is
one truth that cannot be too forcibly brought before
the public; and that is, any one taking a share in a
mining company makes himself personally liable for
the whole of its debts. The necessity, therefore, of
having responsible managers, &c., &e., is but too
apparent.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FIB. S.

The vice-regsl question, and the extension to Ire-
land of the ministerial measure on the hierarchy
(pwstion, arc likely to arouse an immediate agita-
tion throughout this country. On both these points
the people of Ireland have been taken by surprise,
and a momentary pause might be expected, but the
popular organs are not likely to allow any such
hiatus to take place. Already Mr. John (lC:onnell
has come out with an address to the catholics of
Ireland," urging them to meet and petition, with-
out a moment's delay. He suggests the following
form of petition :
We, the undersigned inhabitants of pray
—,
your honourable house not to permit the minister to out-
rage religious liberty, civilization, and common sense, by
passing any measure interfering with religious doctrine,
discipline, or practice."
Ile appeals most earnestly to the Roman catholic
clergy to bestir themselves, and thus concludes:
Must humbly, most respectfully, and with all the earnest-
ness of my heart and soul, du L solicit them to give their
aid to au desirable, al imperatively neces:ary a movement.
If it fail to influence a hostile and bigotted majority in the
British parliament, it will at any
.rate show to Europe and
the world that the love of liberty is undying in our hearts,
and that we are on the watch for every opportunity to vin-
dicate and secure it. Petition, then—petition simultane-
ously and immediately. Every town, every county. every
parch, can have, and surely will have, its petition, and in
the face of those petitions no Irish member who has any
hope from popular support will dare to act the part of a
traitor and a slave, by supporting, or abstaining from oppos-
ing, the renegade minister in hi, unholy crusade.
Mr. Henry Grattan takes up the subject of the
Viceroyalty in his usual energetic manner. In au
address to the people of Dublin, he says:
Be warned in time—follow the advice of your friend—be
up and stirring—do not part with one iota of Irish rights—
keep what remains—keep it like men, and more may yet be
added to it. Remember 'B2—remember the Volunteers—
that is the glorious, pious, and immortal memory—keep to
that principle-100:000 armed Irishmen and 200 pieces of
cannon, acting for the constitution and within it, made the
British minister tremble. The man who did that, and
who assisted in getting freedom for Ireland, has left me to
tell you now to uphold her. Do so as you value your
duty to God and your country, and may the Lord defend
the right.
London, England, 1851-02-10

To-day, we bare, in the Coartitstionner, the autho-
rity of A. Vcron for the announcement that, in ease
the Dotation Bill be rejected, the President will issue
a message in the view of putting a stop to the scheme
of a national subscription; W i the eclat and agitation
, attending a measure to which a political stamp
would be attributable would tend greatly to disturb
the tranquillity of which France has so much need.
The President will adopt the necessary economics in
his establishment, and this will be his dignified and
!sole answer to the hostile vote of the Assembly.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
ADMISSION OF VISITORS.
Mee Majesty's Commitsioncrs having had tinder their
consideration the regulations respecting the admission of
visitors, have determined that the charges of admission shall

Season tickets for a gentleman £3 3 0

These tickets are not transferable, but they will entitle
the owner to admission on all occasions on which the Exhi-
bition is open to the public. The commissioner' reserve to
themselves the power of raising the price of the season
tickets when the first issue is exhausted, should circum-
stances render it advisable.

mission on entrance will be (each day)

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

Bier= KNIGPIT BRUM.

RE OXFORD AND SALISDURY DIRECT RAILWAY COMPANY.

WINUINO-UP ACTS.
The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment in this caw, which
was argued before Christmas, and also at the beginning of
the term, by Mr. James Parker and Mr. Bird for the peti-
tioner, and Mr. Bacon and Mr. Smythe for the respondent.
'f he petitioner stated by his petition and affidavit that he
was an allottee of shares in the above Company (which was
provisionally registered), and had been sued at law for a
debt of the Company. In opposition to the petition affi-
d erits were filed denying that the petitioner was an allottec,
and stating that the action was brought by collusion,
to give colour to the present petition, the real object of which
was alleged to be to übtain for the projectors of the scheme
repayment of expenses which they had no right to throw
upon the subscribers to the project. For the respondent
the case of the Harbor-nigh and Watlington Railway Com-
pany, decided by Lord Cranworth, and reported in the Law
Times, was referred to. His Honour now said that he had
considered the ease, *lnd was unable upon the affidavits to
atativry his mind that the petitioner had any title to present
the petition. 144 honour also thought that, independently
of this, there was not shown to be any ease rendering it ne-
cessary or expedient to make the onler sought, and that
justice would be neither advanced nor aided, but that much
mischief would result from acceding to the application.
The petition was dismi.ssed with costs.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 24.—The Porte has ad-
dressed a note to the representatives of the foreign powers,
announcing that new disorders, which broke out at Samos
on the arrival of M. Coneminos had obliged the Ottoman
government to resort to the extreme measure of placing the
island in a state of siege. In consequence of this determina-
tion the coast harbours and landing places of Samos would
be blockaded. The blockade, which Mustapha Pasha, com-
mander of the troops at Samos, was specially commissioned
to carry into effect, would commence twenty days after the
date of the note (16 Rebi-ul-ewel). The ministers of
foreign governments are therefore requested to notify to
the shipping of their respective flags to quit the ports
of Samos before the prescribed term, and not to break
the blockade under penalty of incurring the repression
to which vessels render themselves liable in such eases.
French diplomacy is chiefly directed at this moment to
check the influence which is being acquired by England in
Egypt. For this purpose, Gen. Aupick is urgent with the
Sultan to proclaim the deposition of Abbas Pasha, the
grandson of Mehemet Ali, under pretence of his being
liable to fits of insanity ; and a report on the hate of the
viceroy's health is to be drawn up by physicians, and laid
before the Divan with this object. M. de Lavelette is ex-
, peeled to replace Gen. Aupick.

THE LEVANT.

We have received by the Levant mail Athena
journals to the 29th ult. They contain no political news of
i interest.

The Emperor of Russia has made a considerable reduc-
tion in the duties hitherto levied on currants and figs from
Greece entering Russia by the Baltic. The duty is made
still lower on those entering by the Black Sea or the Sea
of Azoff.

LETTERS TQ POLAND.—A Post-office circular gives
notice that henceforward letters for Poland transmitted
through Prussia by way of Belgium, Holland, or Ham-
burgh, will be liable to reduced rates of postage in lieu of
the rates heretofore chargeable. These letters may be for-
warded unpaid or paid to destination, but a portion of the
postage cannot be taken in this country. Letters for Po-
land will be sent through Prussia, by way of Belgium, un-
leas specially addressed to be otherwise forwarded, and the
rates of postage by that route must be taken upon such
letters when paid in the United Kinelom.
QUARTER-MASTER-GENERAL'SDEPARTMENT.—The
recent appointment of Colonel Freeth, as Quarter-Master-
General, will, as we before said, effect a considerable saving.
We believe it is arranged that Lieut.-Colonel Airey, unat-
tached, is to succeed Colonel Freeth as Assistant Quarter-

Master... General, and that Major Enoch retains the appoint-
meat he has hitherto held of Deputy. Assistant Quarter-
Muter-General. Major Enoch, who is an old and distin-
guished officer, is, however, to have the brevet rank of
Lieut.-Colonel, as well as some adlition to hi. present rate

of pay.

RAILWAYS.

THIS DAY.

Two O'CLOCK.
The general feeling of the share-market to-day,
in sympathy with the other departments of the
Stock Exchange, is one of decided heaviness,
and prices arc in nearly all instances marked
lower. Almost the only business offering is sales,
a decided indisposition being evinced to take up stock,
till commercial affairs wear a brighter aspect. Mean-
while the appearance of the traffics continues de-
cidedly good.
The traffic receipts on the London and Brighton
Railway for the week ending the 23rd inst., show an
increase of 1,538/. over the corresponding period of
last year, the amount being 14,1481. against 12,6101.
in 1850. The average return per mile per week
is 81.661., against only 73.63/. last year. 'I he South
Eastern return for the same period being.2o,oBl/. in
1851, and 16,890/. in 1850, the increase is shown to
he 3,194/., and the return per mile per week, 76.951.
