BRISTOL AND EXETER.

A special meeting of this company is to be held on the
22d inst., for the purpose of censidering a bill now be-
fore Parliament to enable the company to raise further
sums of money, to acquire additional lands, to lease er
purchase the Somerset Central and North Devon Rail-
ways, and to hold additional shares in the Exeter and
Crediton Railway. It is also intended to submit to the
proprietors for their consideration and approval an agree-
ment for the joint working of the Cornwall Railway,
when constructed, between Plymouth and Truro, under
a lease thereof to the Great Western, the Bristol and
Exeter, and the South Devon Railway Companies, sub-
ject to certain conditions.

RUSSIA.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 26th of
January (-rives the following account of sorties from
Sebastopol :
" On the night of the 12th of January a sortie was
made by a detachment of volunteers, under the command
of Lieut.-Col. Makaroff, of the sth Battalion of Rifles,
aid Lients. Astalchoff and Biruleff, of the navy. It caused
great disorder in the English camp. On this occasion we
made 14 English and four French prisoners. Another
sortie was made on the night between the 14th and 15th
of January against the French trenches; 350 volunteers
of the Volhynia Infantry Regiment took part in it,
under the orders of Captain Syroboyarsky, of the same
regiment. They made five prisoners and slew' a number
of the enemy with the bayonet.
" Captain Youschkoff, of the navy, Aide-de-Camp of
Lis Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine
Nicolaiewitch, who was present at these two sorties,
was slightly wounded by a bayonet!,
" According to statsinent, of Ainb deserters, the
position of the Turks in the enemy's camp is a hard.one.
Tie English employ them to carry ammunition and pro-
vision to the causp—in other words!, make beasts of bur-
den of them."

MEETINGS OF TEE WEEK.

The railway meetings of the week, although not nu-
na,rous, have presented facts of interest. The dividend.
of the Brighton Company of Si. 4s. per cent. has been
emfirmed, and the report adopted. The Crystal Palace
traffic is stated to have yielded sati,flctory results, while
the other topics discussed included the depression occa-
sioned by the war, the high prices of provisions, and
the unfavourable state of the money market. The report
of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway
has been agreed to, but the recommendations connected
with the disposal of the available balance cannot be irn-

media,tely carriel out, owing to pending legal proceed-
ings. The North Staffordshire dividend has been de-
clared at the rate of 31 per cent., and the next increase
under the guarantee of the London and North-
Western will be to 4 per cent. The opposition to
the amalgamation bill has diminished, but still there
are influential parties endeavouring to defeat it. At
the Llanelly Railway and Dock meeting, an im-
proVement was reported to have taken place in the com-
pany's affairs, and when the whole line shall have been
completed the revenue will, it is expected, increase.
The dividends at the rate of 5 per cont. on the new
shares and 1 per cent. on the old shares, have been de-
clares, and the directors have received authority to raise
money on debentures, The dividend of the Paris and
Rouen Company is 37f. 50c. per share, which with the
previous payment of 27f. 50c. makes a total of 65f. The
report is considered favourable, and the amalgamation
of the Western and North-Western lines has been com-
pleted. At the Middlesborough and Guisborough meeting
the guaranteed dividend, at the rate of 4 ner cent., was
announced, and the double line of rails is stated to have
been nearly completed. The dividend of the Kendal and
Windermere is 6s. 3d. per share, less income-tax, and a
small balance has been carried to the reserve fund. The
report of the Grand Cent-al of France is regarded as
encouraging. The available receipts would allow a
dividend of sf. 47c. per share, but it cannot be distri-
buted, since, according to the 19th clause of the deed,
the prifits during the period the line remains incom-
plete are to be appropriated to the payment of the inte-
rest of 4 per cent. guaranteed on the paid-up capital for
the construction of works. A project for a metropolitan
railway from Paddington to the Post-office, an act in
relation to which was obtained last session, has been
brought forward. The estimated outlay is 1,200,0001.,
on which a return of 121 per cent. has been calculated.
A feature in the subscription for shares is tl'e payment
of an immediate deposit to test the responsibility of
the various applicants. A line from Lisieux to
Honfleur has also been projected, the route being
by the Poet l'Eveque. In this case the total cost is
estimated at 360,0001., and the return 7 yer cent.

THE FOREIGN LEGION.

The Paris correspondent of the Independence
Beige, writing on the 2d inst., says,--
"A great deal is said just now about a treaty of
alliance whch is reported to be on the eve of being
signed with Portugal on the same conditions as those
made in the recent treaty with Piedmont. The
Portuguese legion will, it is said, be 12,000 teen.
" I am also informed, on good authority, that great
efforts are being made to induce Sweden to pronounce
openly for the Western Powers. Hitherto the King of
Sweden, however well inclined, has constantly refined
to make any formal engagement.
" Letters from Switzerland state that recruiting is
going on very actively there for France and England."
London, England, 1855-02-05

to Simpheropol, and told them that he was con-
veying to the Prince the necessary powers for
concluding an armistice for six weeks."

Against this is to be set the following statement

of the same journal :

" A letter from the Emperor to Prince Men-
schikoff contains the following passage :---‘ From
the motives above stated, you will perceive that
I am very anxious to push on the campaign in
the Crimea as rapidly as possible, and being it to
a satisfactory conclusion. If facts do not corre-
spond to my expectations, I think, God willing,
that I shall myself visit you and my dear army.' "

SOUTH DEVON.

Tho double lino of railway frona Newton to Totnes,
on the South Devon lino, has been completed, and tra-
velled over by the directors and officials, previously to
its being opened for traffic. This piece of double line
will prove very convenient to passengers, inasmuch as
frequent delays at both the Newton and Totnes sta-
tions have occurred from one train being detained at
these stations respectively until the arrival of another
train travelling between the two places. Although the
weather has been very severe lately, the South Devon
line is in ♦cry good order.

THE ACCIDENT AT THE PLYMOUTH THEATRE,..—.ire Te•
gret to learn that Mdlle. Julie, who unfortunately got
burnt while performing in the Good Woman of the Wood
on Tuesday, is much worse then was at first thought,
and is not yet out of danger. She is quite young, not
more than 19, and was the principal means of supporting
her mother and two young sisters. She was starring it,
had just been playing at Exeter, and, after a short en-
gagement at Plymouth, had intendel to have gone to
Dublin.
STRIKE of TAILORS AT SUNDERLAND.—It appears
from the local papers that the journeymen tailors cf Sun-
derland, to the number of 100, are at present on strike.
Their weekly
wage has hitherto been 245., but in conse-
quence of the high price of provisions they requested an
advance of 6d. per day, which the masters agreed to
"
give, and the dispute has arisen through a difference in
the "logging
of the time by which the pay is regu-
lated. The masters wish to adopt the Newcastle "log,"
which the men repudiate, as it would virtually, they say,
reduce their wages 3s. per week, since their fellow
unionists in that town only make one guinea per week,
and would have to work about 80 hours to reach the 27e.

LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1855.

There is as yet no abatement in the discount
market. The money absolutely required for the
wants of the commercial classes, as the motive
power to the social machine, cannot be obtained
on any save the most exorbitant terms. In-
dustry is paralysed, the great body of the people
are called on not only to sustain enormously in-
creased taxation, but to pay prices which render the
ordinary comforts, and many of what have from
habit become almost necessaries of existence, far
beyond their reach. Their earnings are in the in
verse ratio of their expenditure, and thus a state
of affairs is produced that must speedily lead to
very untoward results, unless the screw be re-
laxed, and a circulating medium obtained adequate
to the wants and exigencies of the country.
Whatever differences of opinion may exist
respecting the Bank Charter Act of 1E44, in
time of peace, there can be none whatever as
to its incompatibility with the maintenance of
an expensive war. As we have repeatedly stated,
we have now to choose between the honour of
the national flag and the so-called integrity of the
monetary standard. It has been proved by un
exceptionable witnesses that former Wars in
which Great Britain has boon engaged could
never have been carrie4 to a satisfactory termina-
tion but for the use of an inconvertible small-
note currency. The whole of the domestic trade,
the national manufactures, and all other pur-
poses of a circulating medium were thus supplied,
and "no necessity existed for gold being held
against part of it." The people knew that they
could provide themselves with all that they re-
quired, and liquidate every possible demand with
these much-despised notes and that was all they
wanted. They thought not
ught not of intrinsic value
when they knew that butcher, baker, tailor, or
draper—and better still, rate or tax-collector—
would be satisfied with the transfer of these
mere " promises to pay." Titer() was no loss by
wear and
tear. No useless sacritereobfanianiste-e,
inte-
rest. Gold was a mere article of
which sold at a price proportioned to the demand
and yet our foreign commerce never flagged for a
moment. The bullion dealers were invariably
enabled to supply all that was required to " re-
store the balance of trade." The interest of
money, though high, was not exorbitant, as it is
at present ; and men were not deterred from car-
rying on legitimate operations from the fear of a
scarcity of bank notes, ehaneine, their anticipated
profits into serious losses.
We are, however, now told that the immediate
convertibility of the bank note is indispensable to
the maintenance of our foreign trade. The expo
rience of more than tl,venty-two years is thus wil-
fully ignored, and the interests of the home pro-
ducer, home trader, and home consumer wantonly
• ri sacrificed to their foreign rivals. Oa ous clumsy
expedients were devised to reader the evil less
intolerable ; but they in turn wore proved
to be inadequate ; and head tax and

THE MISSION OF GENERAL CAN.ROBERT.

We felt bound, a few days ago, to contradict an as-
sertion which appeared in the columns of the Times, that
"a military convention" had been concluded with Swe-
den— of which " convention" even the details were
sketched. We perceive, that the Paris correspondent of
our contemporary "confines himself" now to the declara-
tion that "a most satisfactory arrangement with regard
to the eventualities of the war has been concluded."
This is a very different statement and of a vague charac-
ter. He backs it up, however, by quotations from those
great circulators of canards—the Belgian papers—which
do not hesitate to speak of "signatures affixed and docu-
ments signed."
We repeat that these stories about signatures and
treaties and alliances are all an invention. General
Canrobert had no mission of the nature attributed to him.
The General's mission is of the most friendly and com-
plimentary character, and has had the important result
expected from it—viz , that of obtaining the full weight
of the moral support and sympathy of the Swedes, and
their cordial verdict in our favour. Whether this most
satisfactory state of affairs shall lead hereafter to more
intimate relations, and to an alliance in war, is a matter
for the Cabinets of London and Paris to decide. For on
England and France would fall the cost and burden,
whilst they would, justly, be obliged to guarantee to
Sweden every advantage she could gain. Such a mea-
sure would open new and difficult questions in the war,
and is not to be entered upon in any rash manner. Such
an alliance may hereafter prove to be desirable, but, as
yet, no alliance is in existence, nor is any engagement
effected.

The Swedes are a gallant and noble people. They are
with us in heart. We shall see whether the requirements
of war, and the force and obstinacy of Russia, will
oblige us to invite the aid of their sworde.—Morning
Post.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

LIVERPOOL, Monday.—The Black Ball clipper ship
Oliver Lang, with the mails from Melbourne and 83,000
ounces of gold on freight, put into Queenstown yester-
day morning, in order to land her mail bags and despatel.
them via Kingstown to Liverpool and London, when.-
they may be expected to be received to-day (Tuesday).
This was a very judicious resolve on the part of the cap-
tain of the Oliver Lang, as the wind is reported t)
be blowing a gale from tha north-east, with a prospect
of continuance, which will prevent the ship from arriving
in Liverpool for several days.

The White Star, Post-office packet, which left Mel-
bourne on the 31st August, was telegraphed as arrived
off Skibbereen, on the coast of Ireland, having on board
on freight 85,195 ouncas of gold, or about 340,000/.
sterling.

AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE-MARKETS.—
The weekly reviews from these markets state that busi-
ness had become less active, and that prices had in sent*
cases experienced a decline. In sugar the transactions
had considerably diminished, owing to the cessation of
active speculation on this side, and rates were generally
lower. Coffee was steady, and, although there bad been
less desire to purchase, quotations continued to be fairly
maintained. Sales of tea had been made at a reduction,
but rice and indigo both exhibited a tendency to further
improvement.
The prospectus has been issued of an undertaking,
with limited liability, to be called the London Auxiliary
Screw Ship Company. The proposed capital is 200,6001.
.
in 201. shares, and the object contemplated not the
establishment of any particular line of service, but to
have a fleet of iron clipper vessels with the advantage
and economy of the screw for constant use on any sta-
tions that may from time to time offer the largest profit.

out success. At last a clergyman recommended him to
try Holloway's ointment and pills. After using them
for a short time the wounds began to heal, and in a few
weeks his leg was perfectly cured, in gratitude for which
Mr. Jones will answer any inquiries about it.—Sold by

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL

The following motion will be submitted to a Court cf
Governors to-morrow (Wednesday) :
" That no presentations be granted for the admission
of children next year, except to the Queen, his Royal
Highness the President, the Lord Mayor, and such new
governors as may be made on account of giving dona-
tions of not less than 5001. between the court in March
last and the court in March next."

The effect of this motion, if carried, will he that all
the other governors whose turn it would have been to
have had presentations next Easter, will not receive pre-
sentations till Easter, 1857, and every other elected go-
vernor's turn to present a child to the hospital will be
plstponed fur a year later than he otherwise would rc-
ceive it.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF COL. MACHURDO.

We regret to state that the army in the Crimea is
likely to lose the services of this gallant officer. He has
been very ill of fever for some days, and has now passed
the crisis. His wife had just arrived before he felt ill,
and he must go home as soon as he is strong enough to
be moved. Had the army been deprived of his services
at any other time it would Lave been most serious, and,
eve❑ as it is, it will be hard to find his successor, for he
devoted himself incessantly to the details of his most
arduous department, and Ras gradually working it into
most excellent order, notwithstanding the great difficul-
ties with which he had to contend.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

LIVERPOOL, Monday.—The Black Ball clipper ship
Oliver Lang, with the mails from Melbourne and 83,000
ounces of gold on freight, put into Queenstown yester•
day morning, in order to land her mail bags and despatch
them via Kingstown to Liverpool and London, where
they may be expected to be received to-day (Tuesday).
This was a very judicious resolve on the part of the cap-
tain of the Oliver Lang, as the wind is reported to
Le blowing a gale from the north-east, with a prospect
of continuance, which will prevent the ship from arriving
in Liverpool for several days.
The White Star, Post-office packet, which left Mel-
bourne on the 31st August, was telegraphed as arrived
off Skibbereen, o❑ the coast of Ireland, having on board
on freight 85,195 ounces of gold, or about 340,000/.
sterling.

THE BALTIC.

KIEL, Nov. 22.—The news concerning the move.
ments of the allied fleets in the bay are bare and
uninteresting.

The weather is getting colder every day; at the
time I write all the hills are covered with hoar
frost, and the thermometer stands at 24 of Fahren-
heit's scale ; if this lasts in a couple of days the bay
will be covered with ice. On Monday morning
the Locust arrived with the last of the
mails via Danzic ; they are now brought to Kiel
daily. The Harier arrived about noon from the
Gulf of Finland, with despatches for the Comman-
der-in-Chief. On Tuesday morning the Vulture
left Kiel for Faro, and the Orion joined the fleet
from Nargen ; she left Admiral Baynes and a part
of his squadron there on Saturday, but it is sup-
posed he has by this time left for Faro. They have
experienced some very severe weather. In the
evening the steam floating-factory Volcano left for
England ; she has been of great service to the com-
bined fleets during the summer. The Harier
returned to her cruising ground yesterday, since
when nothing has happened. There is no talk of
the fleet leaving the bay for some days ; the Royal
George is daily and hourly expecting to go, and
her officers have been excluded from the general
leave from Monday until Friday night for half the
officers at a time to visit Hamburg, Berlin, &c.,
so from this it will appear that the ships will not
quit this harbour before the middle or end of next
week, unless they sail on Saturday with the nearly
full moon to light them through the Belts.

MARYLEBONE.

DESPERATE ASSAULT BY A FEMALE ON TWO POLICE-
MEN.—This day a female named Sullivan, a po Nodally-
made woman, was charged before Mr. Broughton with
assaulting Policeman Campion, A division, and Milton,
D 165.
It appeared that about 6 o'clock last night as Police
Constable Campion was on duty in Cato-street he was
called to by the prisoner's husband, whose face was
covered with blood, who requested him to take his wife
into custody. He went to a house in a locality called
Cato Bay, where the prisoner resided, when as he was
ascending the stair he heard her smashing the
crokery, turning over the tables, and upon entering
the room he found the debris of cups, saucers, plates,
&c.. scattered over the floor of the room, and the prisoner
was in the midst of them. She was under the influence
of liquor and appeared like a mad woman. As it
was useless to think to take her into custody by himself
he procured assistance, when she was with some diffi-
culty secured and conveyed to the station-house. There,
while in the dock, and the charge was being taken, she
gave Campion a violent blow upon his head, which nearly
knocked Lim down, and as policeman Milton was pass-
ing with her clenched fist she struck him upon his head
and sent his hat to the further extremity of the station.
The prisoner was sent for two months to the House of
Correction for each assault on the cfficers.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

Mr. Oxenford's clever farce, Twice Killed, was re-
vived here last night, with Mr. and Mrs. Keeley in their
original characters of Mr. Euclid Facile and Fanny
Pepper. There are few things more amusing than the
series of equivoques by which these two personages are
led to believe that they have committed a double mur-
der, and the bewildered horror of the one and the
frantic terror of the other are so ludicrously portrayed
by the Keeleys, that the audience, previously apprised
that there is no killing in the case, are fully justified is
the uproarious mirth with which they greet each situa-
tion. The house was, of course, crowded to the ceil-
ing.

THE MISSION OF GENERAL CA NROBERT.

We felt bound, a few days ago, to contradict an as-
sertion which appeared in the columns of the Times, that
"a military convention" had been concluded with Swe-
den— of which " convention" even the details were
sketched. We perceive, that the Paris correspondent of
our contemp9rary " confines himself" now to the declara-
tion that "a most satisfactory arrangement with regard
to the eventualities of the war has been concluded."
This is a very different statement and of a vague charac-
ter. He backs it up, however, by quotations from those
great circulators of canards—the Belgian papers—which
.lo not hesitate to speak of "signatures affixed and docu-
ments signed."

We repeat that these stories about signatures and
treaties and alliances are all an invention. General
Canrobert had no mission of the nature atti ibuted to him.
The General's mission is of the most friendly and com-
plimentary character, and has had the important result
expected from it—viz , that of obtaining the full weight
of the moral support and sympathy of the Swedes, and
their cordial verdict in our favour. Whether this most
satisfactory state of affairs shall lead hereafter to more
intimate relations, and to an alliance in war, is a matter
for the Cabinets of London and Paris to decide. For on
England and France would fall the cost and burden,
whilst they would, justly, be obliged to guarantee to
Sweden every advantage she could gain. Such a mea-
sure would open new and difficult questions in the war,
and is not to be entered upon in any rash manner. Such
an alliance may hereafter prove to be desirable, but, as
yet, no alliance is in existence, nor is any engagement
effected.

The Swedes are a gallant and noble people. They are
with ug iu heart. We shall see whether the requirements
of war, and the force and obstinacy of Russia, will
oblige us to invite the aid of their swords.—Morning
Post.

DIATH OF COUNT MOLE.

Count Mold, we regret toonstate, died at his resi-
dence Saturday, from an
enTahtedfionl:
-at Champlatreux,
attack of apoplexy, which hisseizrsthhinlyewarh.
ner. The Count was in
lowing are some details of the Count's latter
moments :
"M. Mold took his place at table with his family at
his customary hour, and rarely did his conversation dis-
play more elegance or lucidity. Towards the middle of
the AL MOl6 became very pale, and had twice a
sor dinner,
sort of convulsive hiccup, which was folio wed by a marked
change in his features, noticed by every one at table.
No one, however, ventured to make any remark to him
on the subject, and all at once his head inclined slightly
on his breast. Then all the persons present, seized with
fears, arose ; but the Count, by a strong effort of the
will, recovered his energy, and, in a very distinct voice,
begged his guests to resume their places, and told them
that there was no cause for alarm. He then left the
room, leaning on the arm of his son-in-law, the Marquis
do Lafert6. As soon as he had entered his own apart-
ment, M. Mold, who entertained no illusion as to the
gravity of his state, requested that the cur 4 of his vii
lage might be sent for, and summoned to his side Mme.
de Lafertd, his daughter, and the Duchess d'Ayen, his
granddaughter, to whom he gave his blessing
in a per-
fectly clear voice. M. Nicolas, his physician for man?'
years, who was by chance at the chateau, employed all
the resources of science, and for a moment had hopes
to
of
l
preserving his life. Ile went into an adjacentroo m a
write a prescription, and whilst there the Count
after
had
slight convulsion—it was the last, a
he expired. The Count had a few daysn' hlt ebeforemoment received
the eacramout from the hands of the hop of Orleans.",

Arrival of General Simpson in London.

General Sir James Simpson, late Commander-in-Chief
of her Majesty's Forces in the Crimea, arrived in London
yesterday. The gallant general travelled via the South
Eastern Railway, and on his arrival at the London ter-
minus ho was most enthusiastically received.
Sir James as soon as possible left the station, Rua went
direct to the War Department, in WhitAall, but
Lord Parmure being absent he immediately left, and
proceeded to his club, the United Service, in Pall-mall,
where ho was most cordially welcomed by the different
general officers who had the good fortune to be present.
During the gallant general's short stay at Paril he had
the honour of an interview with the Emperor Napoleon
and his Majesty Victor Emmanuel, Ring of Sardinia.
We have much pleasure in stating that in appearance
the gallant General seems to have suffered little from the
effects of the climate of the Crimea ; in fact he
appeared to have actually improved both in health and
appearance.

On leaving the United Service Club the gallant sol
dier was recognised by the few passers by, whose saln
tations he most heartily returned.
