Railways in th© City.

A meeting of merchants and others was held yesterday at
the London Tavern, in reference to the manner in which it
was proposed to cut up the cit 3 by the railway schemes now
before Parliament.
Mr. R.W. CRAWFORD, M.P., was called to the chair. Ile
had, he said, at first looked with little satisfaction upon the
appointment of a joint committee of the two houses of Par-
liament, and the result of the deliberations of that commit-
tee had not tended to increase his satisfaction. Some of the
schemes which were to be allowed to go before the select
committee interfered with the city property, and it was for
the citizens to consider what would be the effect of so many
railways on the trade and commerce of the city. Them:dot

the hands of what he might, without offence, term specula-
tors, gentlemen of ono profession or another, who had, of
course, a right to pursue their profession as much as any
other person; but for himself he should have been glad to
see all the schemes postponed, CO that they might be referred
to some independent body, who would deal with them satis-
factorily to the public. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. S. MORLEY mused a resolution which tanned that,
in the opinion of thin meeting, the limited area of the city
of London, the seat of a rapidly-expanding trade, should be
protected against the intrusion of any railway within it
which was not absolutely necessary. Ile trusted the meet-
ing would result in the appointment of a committee to act
on public grounds in reference to the matter.
Mr. WALKER seconded the motion.
Deputy LOTT, in his official •
capacity, supported the reso-
lution, and earnestly urged the claims of the poor in con-
nection with the proposed railways.
The resolution was adopted, as were others of a practical
character, and a committee was appointed.

Yaxley and its Neighbourhood" is
continued at some length, and the story increases
greatly in interest. It is now evident that all the
young people whose lives are so sunny, and who are
disporting themselves so gaily on the threshold of
life, have many dark days in store for them, and
much sadness to encounter. By a dexterous mancouvre
Mrs. l'ilmer has sent Dillon away to Germany, thus
maturing her dark plane, and paving the way fur the pos-
sessionproperty. The scale described
of Mrs. Meiklam's
as taking place on Bessie's bit Oday is very effective, and
well displays the nascent nature of pride and self conceit
that appear so strongly marked at an early age in some
characters. " Two Half. Centuries of tile Light Litera-
ture of France" is a very readable paper, and conveys much
information in its critical analysis. There 15 generally
sonwthing very attractive in these disquisitionsof livrature
in an earlier age ; and, concerning foreign countries, we
should not keep ourselves in ignorance, since nothing so
aptly or adroitly discloses the changes wrought in the mind
and morals of a people as the different phases of its litere-
ture. In conclusion, the writer of this essay pens this wise
reflection—" If our paper dare boast of a moral, it is that
fashion is as arbitrary in the publisher's (Alice as in the
show-rooms of the milliner, end that the fame of no book is
secured that does not give pleasure both to the prince on his
throne and the peasant on his wooden stool." " Unfortunate
Doctor Dodd" is rather a curious subject, that may never-
theless be welcome to some readers, as affording them an
insight into the career of a remarkable individual. " Shake--
perian Notes," No, 11., is a consideration of some of the
most important passages in the works of the great drama-
tist ; at this time when it is the fashion to discuss ever and
anon all the works of that author, it is appropriate in its
appearance. "Wilkes the Actor—his Later Career," is an
interesting paper, that revives the memory of the histrionic,
splendours of past days, and presents us with a detailed
account of the career of a man who was much celebrated in
his own generation, and whose fame has come down to our
days, if it is in somewhat a modified form. " The Duchies,
Danish Rights, Customs, and Legends," is a very appro-
priate article just now, but the views expressed by the
writer, are hardly in accordance with the strong sentiment.
of popular opinion that has been universally expressed on
behalf of Denmark. "My Aunt Margaret's Adventure" is
an amusing narrative, that is sure to attract young readers
fur its spiee of the horrible. "Non me Ricorio" relates
to the Mhow and Aldershot courts martial. Another
instalment of anecdotes of the civil war in Spain is given,
and an analysis is furnished of the estimates of both ser-
vices. Chapters on the Invaelien of Denmark, and the
Political Crisis, Notes on M'Clellan'a Campaign in Mary-
land, and the general naval and military intelligence of the
mouth conclude the table of contents.

THE UNITED SERVICE.—The United Service opens
with an article, by Capt. Knollys, on " The Soldier
off Duty," which contains some very sensible re-
marks on the employment of the leisure hours of the
private soldier. Captain Knollys observes that the
soldier is not individually worse than other men,
that vice and dissipation should possess in itself especial
attractions for him, but that he has so much more leisure
than the mechanic or the labourer that his unemployed
hours become to him a curse rather than a blessing. He
therefore proposes to employ the spare hours of the soldier
in profitable or amusing occupation. Great ad ►ances have
been made in the right direction at many of our principal
depots, but much more may yet be done. Tho paper upon
the improvements in small arms and artillery is concluded,
and the description of the large Whitworth guns wil be read
with interest. Unlike the Armstrong guns, Mr. 'Whit-
worth's guns are hooped up cold, which is considered in
many respects advantageous. The modus operandi is as
follows :—The inner tube is formed of homogeneous iron,
and its external diameter tapers about one inch in every
hundred of its length. Over this the hoops, also of
homogeneous metal, and each from 20 to 40 inches in
width—their interior surface being fitted with mathema-
tical accuracy to the exterior surface of the tube—are
forced slowly on by hydraulic pressure till the requisite
amount of tension is reached, and which, it is said, is
easily calculated. In this manner beating the metal for
welding hoops, or for "shrinking" them on, as practised
in the Armstrong process, is dispensed with in the Whit-
worth guns. A second series of hoops is in like man-
ner drawn over the first, and a third, when
necessary in largo guns, over the second, and the
Blum may be done even to a fourth casing by the same pro-
cess. The rifling of the cannon in Mr. Whitworth's fac-
tory is precisely on the same principle as that adopted for
his small arms, experience having demonstrated its appli-
cability to fire arms of every size and description." In
concluding his remarks on the subject of artillery and
armour plates, the writer passes a well-merited eulogium
on Sir J. Emerson Tennant's recent work, "The Story of
the Guns." "The Military Engineering of the Ancients"
is continued," and contains some interesting information.
Captain Aeklotn, late of the 28th Regiment, furnishes a
description of his deep sea anchor. The system is, how-
ever, is not a new one ; it is, in fact, a development of the
drag used by the fishermen on the eastern coasts. The
inventor has, however, a high opinion of the project, which,
under certain circumstances, may be doubtless very ser-
viceable.

CORNIIII.L.—Tho readers of this periodical will
turn, with interest of a peculiar character, to the
story of the late Mr. Thackeray. It is difficult to
judge from the opening chapters of any tale what
it may prove in its further development. Yet it
must be observed that the narrative of "li.nnis
Duval" is singularly complete in its character, narrating,
as it does in this part, an entire tragedy of domestic ►ife.
The form is autobiographical, the story being told by an
old admiral. The scene is supposed to be laid towards the
close of the last century. The greater number of the
characters are French, However, we cannot criticise too
closely a fragmentary sketch like this, which is all that is
left to us of the last attempt of a groat man, and seems his
parting legacy to the readers who so delighted in his works,
and who mourn the untimely departure of him who
traced out life fur them with a master hand.

" The Small House at Allington" does not make much
progress thin time with the more pleasing characters, but
records very important events concerning Crosbie, whose
aristocratic lady takes herself off to 13aden-Baden with her
mother and sister, abandoning the petty grandeurs and dig-
nities of Princess Royal-crescent after about 10 weeks' trial.
This is a good satire on the pleasing results of marriages
a la 'node, but the reader grudges Crosbio his felicitous
liberty, which boon he certainly does not deserve. Lily,
who would be a charming maiden, spoils herself by her
infatuated folly in persisting to worship as an idol a man
who deserved to be scouted from respectable society for his
paltroonery and dishonourable conduct, " The Fashion of
Furniture" is a very sensible article, which the foolish and
flippant of the day would do well to peruse attentively, and
the result cannot be otherwise than beneficial to their lasts
and profitable to their fortunes, It is very truly•said that
the present generation have not made progress in this spe-
cialty. We often congratulate ourselves on the compara-
tive low price of certain articles for which our forefathers
paid so much, but we forget that furniture in their days
often lasted a lifetime. Much down becomes rickety in a
short time after purchase, and before many years has to be
replaced altogether. There is a want of solidity and a want
of purpose about ft which tends to this result. " lb°
Forest of Even" is a pleasure sketch of a very delightful
locality, and the historical association of the place claim for
this number.

DIE SIXPENNY NIAGAZINE.—The chief feature in
this number is the commencement of a now story by
the author of " The Cross of Honour." It is called Barry

and the letterpress of tho magazine is the usual compound
of romance and poetry.
The EVENTS OF THE MONTH, and the GAR-
DENERS' WEEKLY MAGAZINE, both contain much
valuable information, which, in each of them, is arranged

NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL for this month
contains an elaborate account of the principal recent patents

" Patent Adjudication Reform."

In introducing the City Mercantile Club and Dining
Hall Company to the public the Directors have pleasure in
knowing that they are supplying a great public want, it
being universally admitted that—
A Club adapted to the constantly increasing growth and
requirements of the commercial and mercantile world of the
City of London, and
A higher class public dining and refreshment hall are
greatly wanted.
The Club, with its private dining, reading, and smoking-
rooms for the exclusive use of members, will be conducted
under the management of a committee, strictly upon the
_ principles of similar establishments, with a small entrance
• fee and subscription, and a moderate dining-room tariff,
adapted to the views of menof the commerciZworld. The
establishment will contain from 30 to 40 bed •rooms.
Holders of ten shares and upwards will (subject to the
ballot) be admitted to the membership of the club, without
entrance fee,
The public dining halls will be on a scale worthy of the
City, and capable of comparison with any establishment on
the Continent.
The Directors have purchased in one of the best and most
central situations in the City, in close proximity to the
principal places of business, a magnificent range of buildings
(recently erected under the superintendence of an eminent
architect) in the centre of Cheapside, having nearly 30,000
feet of floor space, and pre-eminently adapted to the re-
quirements of all branches of the proposed establishment.
It will be for the consideration of the Directors whether
it is desirable to let off the ground and basement floors, the
residue of the premises providing ample space for the re-
quirements of the undertaking, and should these floors be
so let off they will alone command a rental sufficient to
guarantee a substantial dividend upon the paid-up capital.§
The Directors have carefully considered the probable
profits and returns of this undertaking, and their most
moderate calculations show a dividend of from 30 to 40 per
ent.

The Directors congratulate themselves on having secured
the invaluable co-operation of several gentlemen whose
practical knowledge and experience will be truly desirable.
In consequence of a large amount of shares having been
already applied for (and a most encouraging number of
applications made for Club membership),the Directors are
compelled to add that the list of applications for shares can
remain open for a limited period only. In the meantime
applications for the unallotted shares must be made to the
Solicitors or Secretary; the required deposit having been
previously paid to the Bankers of the Company.
The Articles of Association can be seen at the Company's
Offices.

Oxford and Cambridge Athletic Sports.

OXFORD, Friday Evening.
As the fixture for the Oxford and Cambridge athlatio
sports approaches the interest of the public in the event in-
creases, and there is a general desire that they may come
off without let or hindrance. The fine open weather to-
day has had a very beneficial effect on the ground, and,
although "heavy going," it will be better than might be
anticipated from the recent rains,

Mr, Lawes, of Cambridge, and a host of his fellow-col-
legians, have arrived to-day, and to-morrow morning a
special train from Cambridge will bring a more numerous
body of Cantabs. There seems a desire to back the " light
blue to win the majority of the events; but, as
one of those, viz,, the long jump, is a certainty, the Oxonians
are shy, although the high jump may be almost looked upon
as a foregone conclusion on the part of Oxford. The mile
race engrosses most attention, and from the time taken by
the champions of both universities, it looks a good thing for
Mr. Lawes, whose partisans are backing him freely. The
100 yards race, quarter of a mile ditto, 120 yards hurdle
race, 250 yards ditto, and steeplechase, the remaining six
events, would puzzle the most accurate observer, and until
the fiat of the judge goes forth it will bo a difficult task to
point to a winner. The sports will commence as soon as
possible after the arrival of the "special" so that the oppor-
tunity of 'witnessing them and returning to Cambridge the
same evening will not be lost.

Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race,

OXFORD, Friday Evening.
A visit to the banks of the Thames below Nuneham this
afternoon has increased the opinion we formed some time
back of the excellence of the Oxford crew, who rowed down
to Abingdon and paddled back to Sandford, attended by a
numerous guard of horsemen, including several representa-
tives of the sister University. Arrangements had been
made for a race between the crew and picked eight, but at
the last moment it fell to the ground, having been post-
poned until Tuesday in next week. This will perhaps be
the last time of the crow going over the long course, as they
intend migrating to the London water about Wednesday,
when the " knowing ones" will have an opportunity of
judging for themselves of the merits of the " dark blue."
We understand that the price of steamers to accompany the
race have been raised 20 per cent., so that the usual over-
crowding to witness the race is likely to be discontinued.

SOMETHING LIKE SUGGESTIVE MUSIC !—A
Polonaise by Weber, writes a lady critic, has
chords that fall upon the ear like the rattling of swords just
drawn from their scabbards. In them, she writes, she
almost hears " the wild and distant neighings of the steeds
of the desert, as they toss the long manes around their
haughty heads, impatiently pawing the ground, with their
lustrous eye beaming with intelligence and full of fire, while
they bear with stately grace the trailing caparisons, em-
broidared with torquoise and rubies, with which the Polish
seigneurs loved to adorn them." This, she says, is a
Pisateuiise by Weber. The polonaises by Chopin,
6"e l'"neds, taking up her parable from Herr
Liszt, at, even,
more suggestive. They repre-
sent " the heady resolute tread of Men bravely

much to say that there is hardly an article to be
found for sale in a modern uphholsterer's shop which will
bear evidence of even the commonest principles of good
deßigu. The individual merits of Gothic or classic art are
mot here questioned. Our furniture has no style at all. Tho
wonder is, who supplies the patterns for this endless variety
of absurdities; who is responsible for the " shaped" backs
of sideboards and washing-tables, and rho bandy-lgge
seats which we occupy. No doubt there are many "leead.d
ing firms" who flatter themselves that the contents of their
warehouses are exceptions to the general rule ; and, indeed,
if high prices and sound workmanship ensured good taste,
there would be no lack of the latter. But, unfortunately,
