RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.

The adjourned Wharncliffe, meeting of this company was
held on Saturday, at the Euston station ; Mr. R. Moon, the
chairman, presided.
Mr E. STEWART, the secretary, having read the
notice of adjournment,
The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution approving a
bill for conferring additional powers on the London and
North-Western Railway Company for the construction of
works, and otherwise in relation to their own undertaking,
and the undertakings of other companies, for authorising
the abandonment of certain railways and for other pure
poses.

Mr BROWN-WESTHEAD, M.P., Eecondcd the motion, and
was carr'ed unanimously.

On the motion of tho CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr
BROWN-WESTILE.ID, the following bills were unanimously
approved :—A bill for the construction of railways in the
county of Lancaster, to be called " The Lancashire Union
Railways" and for other purposes; a bill for vesting the
undertaking of the St. Helen's Canal and railway Company
in the London and North-Western Railway Company; a bill
for authorising a lease of a portion of the undertaking of
the Company of Proprietors of the Lancaster Canal Naviga-
tion to the Company of Proprietors of the Canal Navigation
from Leeds to Liverpool, and of the remainder thereof to
the London and North-Western Railway Company and for
other purposes; a bill to authorise the construction of rail-
ways or tramways from the town of Holywell to Greenfield,
in the county of Flint, and to the Hollywell station of the
Chester and Hollyhead railway, and for other purposes;
and a bill for conferring further powers on the Great
Western Railway Company for the construction of works
and the acquisition of lands, and otherwise in relation to
their own undertaking, and the undertakings of other com-
panies and persons, and for other purposes.
The meeting was then adj..urned to Wednesday, the 29th
inst., at noon, when it was hoped the business of the Wharn.
cliff° meetings would be included.

It appears that the directors of this company had resolved
to allot to their proprietors rateably, at par, additional ordi-
nary stock to the amount of about £1,300,000, equivalent to
about 5 per cent. on the ordinary capital. The allotments
will be made to the proprietors registered on the 18th inst.
in the form of ordinary stock, to be fully paid up on Aug.
1 next, but carrying ordinary dividend from July 1, 1861.

LITERATURE.

Maude Talbot. By Holme Lee. With Five Iglus
trationF. New edition. One vol. pp, 405
Smith, Elder, and Co,

The new volume of Messrs. Smith and Elder's
illustrated editions of popular works contains a
re-issue of }Lime Lee's very charming story of
Maude Talbot," a very happy selection, for the
history of the ambitious Maude and the gentle
Lettice is full of interest and instruction. In the
frontispiece, the fair heroine is seen deep in a
momentous reverie, discussing the rival claims of
Love and Ambition. The poet has told us how
when

" Love took up the glass of Time and turned it in his
glowing hands,
E very moment lightly shaken ran itself in golden sands."
Maude Talbot makes a different selection, and the
golden sunshine is banished from her life. The
story is one of the best from Holme Lee's prolific
pen.

Thoughts frotn a Girl's Life. By Lucy Fletcher,

Oue vol. pp. 162. Macmillan and Co.

"These verses," says the writer, "are the true
expressions of the thoughts and feelings of a girl's
life, and as such they are given specially to other
girls." The little poems thus introduced justify
their author's comment. They are eminently
thoughtful and suggestive of thought. They do not
evince any great poetical merit, but are remarkable
for their simplicity and earnestness. In ono little
poem, entitled " Singing," the fair authoress ex-
claims, and evidently with truth—
" I sing my heart out for the gladness in it,

As less a poet than a happy bird,
Singing because I must sing as the linnet,
Unthinking by what ears my song is heard."
Come of .her fanciful itnages are felicitous, as when
she speaks of the leaves and flowers wakened in the
early morning by the " mother kiss of dawn." One
little poem, "The Children's Future," is very hap-
pily conceived and very ingeniously carried out—
the moral lesson of life—
" Here is love His to be trusted,
Yonder to be understood,"
receives in these simple verses a very appropriate
and charming illustration.

Day Dreams of a Schoolmaster. By D'Arey W.
Thompson. One Vol. pp. 328. Edmoneton and

Douglas.
In a kindred spirit to that in which Childe
Harold detested Horace as associated with the
reminiscences of the Latin grammar—

if The dull task that daily turned
My sickening memory,"
—in a kindred spirit C0..-!s the Schoolmaster before
us express his disapproval of the ordinary
forcing, mechanical, and incomprehensible system
of modern education. Pitifully does he dilate
upon the sorrows of his early experiences, when,
at the age of seven and a half he entered as a pupil
on the under form at St. Edmund's.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE POPE-JUDGMENT.

This bankrupt was described as of Wandsworth, colour
manufacturer, and he was formerlysecretary to the Saloon
Omnibus Company. He applied a few days since for his
order of discharge, when he was opposed on behalf of Mr
Harrison, of the irindsor Herald, on the ground that he
had vexatiously defended an action for money lent, and
put the opposing creditor to an expense of ZIO. The de-
fence sat up was, that the money had been advanced in an-
ticipation of a partnership, but the evidence went to show
that it had been lent out of friendship.
His Honour said he was clearly of the same opinion as
the learned judge who tried the case, that there was no pre-
tence for the defence. It was a great hardship upon a cre-
ditor to he put to such heavy expenses vexatiously, and
the discharge would be suspended for'six months without
protection, except the first, to enable the bankru;t to appeal
if he thought fit.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

The arrivals of foreign potatoes have increased, and the
market is tolerably well supplied with home-grown produce.
In most descriptions a fair business is doing, at from 7s to
10s per cwt. Considerable quantities of old potatoes con-
tinue on offer, and sales almost generally progress heavily
at from 20s to 55s per ton. The imports last week amounted
to 12,00 baskets from Rotterdam, 1,500 from Dunkirk,
2,374 from Lisbon, and about 200 baskets from sundry
ports.

WOOL.

Owing to the reduction in the price of money in the
discount market the trade for English wool has, since we
last wrote, exhibited more activity; and both in combing
and clothing descriptions a moderate, though by no means
extensive, business has been transacted, at our quotations.
In the manufacturing districts the trade has also ruled
firmer. Colonial wool, in the private contract market, is
very firm in price.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held on
Saturday, at Manchester; Mr G. A. Wilson in the chair.
no object of the meeting was to approve the Blackburn,
Chorley, Horwich, and Wigan Railway Bill now before
Parliament. The heads of the bill, read by Mr Grundy,
solicitor to the company, showed that the line would cost
£210,000.

The CHAIRHAN, in moving the approval of the bill, said
that after a very long contest in Parliament the directors
had succeeded in obtaining the line from Blackburn to Chor-
ley, and through Hird Hindley to llorwich. Their oppo.
nents—the Lancashire Union Company—had had powers
given them to be joint owners of the line to Blackburn, while
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company might join them in
a line from Standish to Adlington. Substantially the Lon-
don and North Western Company would bring through this
line at Blackburn, and of course this decision was very un-
satisfactory to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Board, who
were now in communication with the London and North
1
Western Company to ascertain if more sati, factory arrange-
ments could be made. Their opponents could not be said to

a branch at Sc. Helen's 1 mile, making a total of nearly 30
miles. But they had only succeeded in obtaining 8 miles
in theirintegrity, and jointly with the Lancashire and York-
shire Company 10 miles; while the line had been shortened
from St. Helen's to the junction of the London and North-
Western Railway at Hilsbury.
The resolution having been seconded by Mr. DUGDEN,
was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN said they had running powers given them
to St. Helen's with the use of the stations and branches,
and those powers improved their position considerably, the
London and North-Western becoming the lessees of the line.
The proceedings then terminated.

THE CONFERENCE.

Mr. DISRAELI wished to put a question to her Ma •
jesty's Government on the subject of the Conference. The
Prussian Minister had declared that in case the German
ports were blockaded the German powers would not be
bound by the treaty of Paris with regard to privateering ;
he wished to know if on Wednesday the Conference should
terminate unsuccessfully hostilities would re-comence on the
26th; also whether, if the Conference closed on Wednes-
day next, protocols would be laid on the table.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
questions were of great importance, and if the hon. gentle•
man would put them on the paper be would answer them.

Mr. DISRAELI said he did not consider there was any
necessity to.put the questions on:the paper. He considered
he was quite justified in putting the questious without

notice.

Mr OSI3ORNE said he saw the inconveniente of pro.
yoking a discussion, yet, when he remembered how we
drifted into the Russian war—when he reflected on ,the
urgency of the occasion and the perilous position of the
country, he wished to ask some member of the Government
what significance was to be put upon the words uttered in
another place, that her Majesty's fleet was ready for ser-
vice. He hoped the house would insist on the questions
being answered. (Cheers.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
was very sorry that inconvenience should arise from the
circumstances under which they were placed. No infor-
mation had been given to him, or as far as he was aware to
any member of the Government as to these questions, and
he thought it would be greatly for the convenience of the
house that questions of such importance should be placed
on the paper. At any rate he had had no communication
with the noble lord at the head of the Government, and he
should have departed from his duty if he answered the
questions.
Mr. S. FITZGERALD presumed that every member of
the Cabinet was aware of what took place in the Confe-
rence last Saturday, and he hoped the house would insist
in having the information.
No member of the Government rose, and there was a
pause for some minutes.
Mr D. GRIFFITHS rose and was received with a loud
shout. He expressed a hope that before long there would
be a Government that woula respect the feeling of the house
in such matters.

Lord J, MANNERS said the remarks of Mr Osborne
showed that interest in these questions was not confined
to one side of the house. If no member of the Government
except the noble lord could answer the question, then it was
his duty to be in his place. (Cheers.)
While the cheering was at its height the noble lord
entered the hous., and was received with Ministerial cheers,
' Lord J. MANNERS repeated the question Mr Disraeli
had put.

Lord PALMERSTONN said his noble friend (Earl
Russell) Was asked whether the British fleet was in a posi•
tion for service, and his reply was that it was fit for any

And her fingers were quick at needlework, and nimble in
all a housewife's cunning. And she could draw sweet music

her sweet, young life was as a Morning Hymn, sung by
child-voices to rich organ music. Time shall throw his

very thoughtful and very interesting volume.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE

DESTRITMON OF THE " ALABAMA,"
SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 20.

From further particulars received here of yester-
day's engagement it appears that Capt. Semmes
accepted the challenge of the Kearsage to fight,
although aware that his adversary carried 50 more
men than his own vessel, and was a larger ship
with heavier gunk. Capt. Semmes was not, how-
ever, aware the Kearsage was chain-plated under
her outside planking.
Shortly after the action commenced a shot from.
the Koarsage killed three men on board the Ala-
bama, cutting them to pieces, and a second shot
wounded three more men and killed another;
while a third shot carried away the blade of the
Alabama's fan and part of the rudder on her deck,
disabling a gun and causing much damage. Below
and forward her compartments were all carried
away, and the fire-room was filled with water.
The Alabama fought under sail, first using her
starboard battery, and afterwards her port battery.
Sne continued the engagement until the muzzles of
her guns were under water, and one part of her
deck was covered with dead and wounded.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.
UNPROVOKED AND SHAMEFUL ATTACK UPON
WOMEN.—Michael Dillon was brought before Mr. Salle
charged with a disgraceful assault upon a young woman,
and a subsequent assault upon another in whose house
she took refuge to escape his brutality.

Mrs Jane Webb, a corn-chandler, living at 76, Marlbo-
rough•road, Chelsea, said that at 6 o'clock on Saturday
evening the defendant disgracefully attacked a young
woman, with an infant in her arms, who was passing
through the street. The complainant was much alarmed,
and the infant in her arms was crying, when the rushed
into her shop for protection, when defendant fol-
lowed her, and then again seized her. Complainant
then interfered to loose his hold of her, when defendant
struck her in the mouth and knocked her down. She bled
profusely from the mouth and was much hurt in the
shoulder.

and Co,
This is an historical romance, founded on the
wars of the Waldenses, celebrated in the 80130et
of Milton. On the title-page the rev. author
quotes from the Count de Ilontalembert the fc44
lowing appropriate observation :—" j declare that
I feel an invincible horror for all tortures 11%
violence inflicted upon humanity under the Preten
of serving or defending religion"—an opinio
which will meet with very general sympathy frG-
Christians of all denominations in the Preeell ,„
t
century. Whether Christian charity is likely 1;
ba promoted by a revival of past animosities set
forth in the pages of a romance is a question t°t
might judiciously be suggested to the WI
advocates of religious toleration.

Essays on Social Subjects from the Saturdag

Review. One vol., pp. 305. Blackwood. t
The very vigorous and occasionally bail%
essays upon social subjects, which have for Out
time past interested the readers of the Saturday
Review, are here collected in one volume, which
will be welcomed by those already familiar with
h
the writer, while others, as yet unacquainted
his felicitous animadversions upon meu and OOP'
have now a pleasant opportunity of examining the
"Busy People" and "Foolish Things," on "Sating
Disagreeable Things," and "Having Oae'S °9l.-
Way ;" on "The Want of Money," and "
The
Uses of Pathos," on "False Shame" and " FloencY'h
on "Snubbing" and "Shirking," &e., &c..--511 c
are the topics for consideration. The writer 55514
happily, on the title-page, that he "sat down t°
write a book to tell the world what the world
had all his life been telling him"—and 613c4
is evidently the case. These essays are for the
most part the results of attentive observati°ll9
and if they are some of them superficial in °Jeir
mode of treatment, they are ail animated and
cious in style, white, besides that, most of Win
very interesting and attractive.

The Letting this day at our Subscription Rooms was, a
game of " cross purposes," horses in the Northumberland
Plate being up and down in the list of quotations in e, re-
markable manner. Tottenham, who hes for some days past
been a good favourite, opened at 10 to 1; but a strong de_
monstration was made against him, and he eventually de-
clined to 100 to 3 (taken and offered). Caller On was also
very unsteady, 25 to 1 being laid against her a few times.
Her stable companion, Borealis, was supported rather freely,
at prices varying from 100 to 8 down to 15 to 2; and for
money she closed a better favourite than either Sir Roger or
Found Again. There were several inquiries respecting
Limosina and Wharfinger, but Donnybrook was friEndless,
offers of 100 to 6 against him eliciting no response.--

THE COMPANY OF AFRICAN TRADERS
(LIMITED).
Lord ELCHO asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether it be the intention of the Government to grant a
subsidy of £5,000 per annum, or any other sum to the
"Company of African Traders (Limited) ;" if so, upon
what conditions the subsidy will be granted, and whether
it will previously be submitted to Parliamentary approval.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
papers had reached the Treasury from which it would ap-
pear that the company would compete with all those who
were engaged in trade with Africa. He was of opinion that
a subsidy ought not to be granted without due consideration.
He F hould not, therefore, make any proposal for a subsidy
during the present session.

LITERATURE.

Maude Talbot. By Holme Lee. With Five Illus-
trations, New edition, One vol. pp, 405.
Smitb, Elder, and Co,
The new volume of Messrs. Smith and Elder's
illustrated editions of popular works contains a
reissue of Halms Lee's very charming story of
" Maude Talbot," a very happy selection, for the
history of the ambitious Maude and the gentle
Lettice is full of interest and instruction. In the
frontispiece, the fair heroine is seen deep in a
momentous reverie, discussing the rival claims of
Love and Ambition. The poet has told us how
when

" Love took
Sup the glass of Time and turned it in his

glowing Maud , -
E very moment lightly shaken ran itself in golden sands."
Maude Talbot makes a different selection, and the
golden Enashino is banished from her life. The
story is one of the best from Holme Lee's prolific
pea.

Thoughts from a Girl's Life, By Lucy Fletcher.
Ono vol. pp. 162. Macmillan and Co.

"These verses," says the writer, " aro the true
expressions of the thoughts and feelings of a girl's
life, and as such they are given specillly to other
girls." The little poems thus introduced justify
their author's comment. They ere eminently
thoughtful and suggestive of thought. They do not
evince any great poetical merit, but are remarkable
for their simplicity and earnestness. In one little
poem, entitled " Singing," the fair authoress ex-
claims, and evidently with truth—
" I sing my heart out for the gladness in it,
