tory of Rome from Constantine to the Death of
Julian, and the History of the Church in the Second
and Third Centuries, in the Encycloptelia Metropo

The New Dean of Lincoln,

The Rev. James Awiranx Jeremie, D.D., whose
appointment to the Deanery of Lincoln ap-
p,ass in the Gazette of Tuesday, was educated at
Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated
in 1854, having in the Previous year obtained the
Norrisian Prize, an honour which he also gained
In 1825. In .1830 he was ordained by Dr. Kaye,
Bishop of Lincoln, being then a fellow of Trinity
College, and in the same year was appointed Pro-
fessor of Classical Literature in the East India
College at Haieybury, a post which he occupied in
connection with other appointments during the
next twenty years. In 1833 he was elected Chris-
tian Advocate to the University of Cambridge. In
1848 he was appointed Sub.Dsan and Canon
Residentiery of Lincoln Cathedral, and in 1849,
on the elevation of Dr. A. 011ivant to the Bishopric
he was elected, after a severe struggle, to the
Regius Professorship of Divinity, which with the
rectory of Somersham which is annexed to it, is
worth about £1,500 a year. By the new statutes
the appointment, which will be at once declared
vacant, is vested in electors, who are the Council
of the Senate. The candidates must be B.D. or
D.D., and the day of election must not be sooner
than 14 days nor later than 28 days after official
notice of the vacancy. The Professorship was
founded by Henry VIII. in 1510, and was aug-
mented by James I. with the rectory of Somersham.
Dr. Jeremie is the author of the articles on the His-
tory of Rome from Constantine to the Death of
Julian, end the History of the Church in the Second
and Third Cot:.l9ries, in the Encyclopcelia Metropo •
Mania, and of man: sermons and pamphlets on
theological and eeclesiesseal questions. He preached
the Latin Sermon in St. I=4;ll's Cathedral at the
assembly of the new Convocation of the Province of
Canterbury in 1852, and at the last Exhibition he
preached in French to a congregation mainly eom-
posed of foreigners, in the nave of Westminsto:r
Abbey. He is succeeded in the sub-deanery by the
Rev. Henry Mackenzie, M.A., Rector of Tydd St.
Mary, near Wisbeach, who was for many years
Vicar of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Westminster.

RAILWAY BILLS,

Mr Hope Scott, Q.C., having been heard for the North
London, Mr Denison fcr the East London, and Mr Cole.
ridge for the Metropolitan, in opposition to the Great East-
ern Company's proposed Metropolitan station and railways,
the committee adjourned. when, after considering the bill
to: the Eastern Counties Junctions, it is expected that they
will give a general decision on the respective projects. The
case for the Midland Great Western of Ireland was con-
cluded in Mr Adait's Committee, and Mr Rodwell was
heard fo: the apposition.

In the Lords a committee, of which Lord Walsingham
was chairman, referred the Metropolitan and St. John's-
woodbill, being unopp,sed, to Lord Redesdale's Committee,
and the Bristol Channel Docks Bill was considered. A
committee, the Duke of Richmond chairman, met to con-
skier the Oswestoy and Newtown, and heard evidence for
the promoters.

Oa Tueede^ the ball for the East London, toxer'er n ith
that of the North London from King,sland to Tottenham,
were rejected in Lord Stanley's Committee, and the bills cf
the Metropolitan for their Trinity-square ezteesions, and
of the Groat Eastern for their central city station and con-
necting railways were unanimously passed. The commit-
tee, in deference to the wishes of the corporation of London,
suggested that the Great Eastern and Metropolitan Coat-
i...antes should not take more property than they required
at one time, and intimated that they should require the
insertion of protective clauses in favour of the Catholic
church and schools at Moorfiedds. The committee then
proceeded with the bill of the Great Eastern to make
junction railways, and to raise £116,000 on shares and
£35,000 by loan. After hearing the evidence of Mr Sinclair
they passed the bill. Mr Rodwell, Q.C., then opened the
case of the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction for exten-
sion lines. The corawittea declined to cunce.ie a locus standi
to the Great Northern and Midland Railway Companied
against .he bill. The evidence in favour of the Midland
Company's extension between Chesterfield and Slat.ffiAcl
having been concluded in Earl Devon's committee, Mr
Denison, Q. 0., was heard for the opposition. The Oawestry
and Newton Amalgamated Bill was passed in the Duke of
Richmond's committee. Tilt bill for the Bristol Port and
Channel Docks was passed in Lord Walshigham's com-
mittee. Mr Forsyth, Q.O , and Mr Ssunders were heard
for and against the proposed Bristol Port Extension Rail-
way. Lord Portman's committee, in considering the meths
of the Great Northern Company's Doncaster and Gains-
borough and Lincoln and Bourn Extension Bill, gave a
loons standi in opposition to the Great Eastern. Mr Cubitt,
C.E., was examined by Mr. Davison.

PROCRASTINATION.

Sir Hugh was left standing in the middle of the room,
eyeing, uneasily, the cabinet, which looked at him out of
its corner like a great ill-omened raven. Ho ecratchad hie
head, pulled his moustache, groaned and muttered to hint •
self—

" I'd better do it at once. Ho may find cut some day—
perhaps after I'm dead and gone." 1

He had not moved, however, when a servant knocked at
the door and said that my lady had returned from her
drive, and wished to see Sir Hugh. He gave a guilty start,
ran to the cabinet, locked it, shook the doors to see if they
were fast, thrust the key into ,his waistcoat pocket, and
hurried out of the loom.

So once more Sir Hugh put off to a more convenient
season, doing that which in the end be was forced to leave
undone, to his great grief—that which Everard was forced
to do, to his—O how immeasurably greater grief.

When Everard ultimately makes the discovery, he
is bound by a solemn oath to his dead father to pre-
serve his secret, and he finds himself, he—with his
morbid pride and sensitive feeling of honour—finds
himself under the alternative of doing an act of in-
justice, or brtaking a solmenly sworn yowl! The
situation is very powerfully and very naturally
deso.:ibed, Like the Cid in a similar pe7plexity,
he might exclaim—
' " 0 Dieu 1 etrange peine"—
Oa de trahir ma flamme
On de vivre en. iofame-,,
Des deux cotes mon mat est infini."

His choice is decided by an infallible rule to a
noble nature—Self-sacrifice—
" He never errs who sacrifices self."

A subdued tenderness—after the stormy struggle
of the preceding portion—pervades the closing
volume of the story. Like Junius " the sole de-
pository of his secret," no solace of sympathy or
approbation sustains or rewards the struggle of
Everard Chalcote, yet is he blessed with the tender
love of a true woman's heart—a love that for a time
only adds a greater poignancy to the depths of
his Affliction, Sydney.Chalcote, Everard's cousin
and betrothed, is most admirably depicted.
Wayward and petulant in her girlish pride—

" A Creature not too bright or good"
by the double discipline of love and sorrow, she
becomes developed into a nuble specimen of a true,
devoted woman, ready, for log'e's sake, to sacrifice
love itself, and, with the subliiie trust of true
affection, " hoping all things, believing all
things !" No shadow of a doubt diCa the sun-
shine of her heart's affection when the el: nduot of
her lover is most inexplicable. She loves him, she
would die for him, and she cannot doubt him. ,This
one solace is vouchsafed to Everard—this anj
the friendship of honest, genial Ralph Leth-
bridge, a capital character, who rapidly endears
himself to the reader. In the descriptions of the
different characters, the author of " Son and Heir'.'
is very felicitous. Lady Chalcote, in her selfishness
and serenity—Frank, the despicable and treacher-
ous heir-presumptive—Pendarvis, the honest, de.
voted servitor, and many others, are described with
a life like fidelity. As specimens of the 'natural
writing and vivid descriptions which abound in the
pages of " Son and Heir," here is—

LAMBETH-BRIDGE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was hold yes •
terday at the offices, Great George-street, Westminster—
Lord Torrington in the chair.

The Secretary read the report.
The CHAIRMAN said he had nothing to add to the report,
as there had been no change in the circumstances of the
shareholders since the last meeting. The lessee, Mr Davis,
paid the rent punctually. In his own mind he had overy
confidence that when the various works in the Thames were
completed, and when the market was finished, a large
amount of traffic would come over the bridge and improve
their property. lie moved the adoption of the report.
Mr KELLY, in seconding the motion, asked how it was
that the dividend was one per cent. less.
The CHAIRMAN said it was a mattor of prudence with
the directors, as they had an arbitration case on hand.
They had carried it over to tho next account. It was only
deferring payment, as the shareholders would no doubt
have more dividend next time.
The report was adopted, and the dividend, at the rate of
eight per cent. per annum for the past six months, was
agreed to.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceed
ings.

CLIFTON SUSPENSION-BRIDGE.

The half learly meeting of this company was held on
Tuesday at Bristol—Captain lluish in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in movingithe adoption of the report,
congratulated the shareholders on the approaching com-
pletion of the bridge. Ho regretted that it would not be
completed at the time of the visit of the British Agsoeia-
lion to Bath, but said that every member of that associa-
tion would be allowed to inspect the works on presenting
his cird of membership. Tho bills had been settled with
one or.two exceptions. Foot passengers would ho charged
Id each. Tho bridge would be tested to the weight of
8,000 people packed shoulder to shoulder. The suspension
rods were calculated to bear 40 tons each, and the greatest
possible weight that could be put on them at any:ono time
would be 12 tons. In fact, ho believed that it was the
strongest suspension bridge in England.
'rho report was adopted, and the salary of the secretary
continued so long as his services were required. Some dis-
cussion took place relative to a remuneration to the direc-
tors, but, as there was want of unanimity, the subject
.was
poetpored until the next meeting,
London, England, 1864-09-01

NORTH-WESTERN.

A half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Mon'
day in Leeds—Mr H. Alcock in the chair.
The accounts showed that the expenditure on capital ac-
count was £1,257,123. The revenue account for the half-
year ending June 30 last showed a balance from last account
of £12,-114, which, with sums received and receivable from
the Midland Company, amounted to £35,265. The dividend
and interest amounted to £21,012, leaving £14,253 available
for ordinary dividend.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Midland Company in the
last session ob ained powers to run trains from Ingleton to
Carlisle over the London and North-Western line, and that
would be very likely in future to increase the traffic over
this company's line. In 1852 the directors of this company
endeavoured to obtain such running powers, but Parliament
objected to granting them, though it gave them facility
clauses, but now in addition to those facilities, the Midland
Company had got running powers to Carlisle over the Lan-
caster and Carlisle line. That was all that was wanting to
make the line of this company a complete route to the North.
No doubt in time it would be the most favourite route, and
the traffic over the North Western must become consider-
ablo. He understood the Scotch traffic agreement the Mid-
land Company were determined to break, and then this com-
pany would get a fairer proportion of it. Ile concluded by
moving the adoption of the report:
Major HARE, deputy chairman, seconded the motion, and
it was carried.
A dividend of 7s per share was declared, payable on the
Ist of September, being at the rate of 31 per cent per annum,
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks tb the
chairman.
London, England, 1864-09-01

SAFFRON WALDEN.

The works on this line, which will connect Saffron Viral-
don with the Great Eastern at Audley End, are making
good progress, and traffic will it is expected be commenced
in November. The works are rather heavy, the River Cain
being crossed at a height of 4Sft., while the embankment at
this point contains 136,000 cubic yards of earth. There is
also a cutting having a maximum depth of 52ft., and from
which 120,000 cubic yards of earth have been removed. An
embankment over the Fulfan Valley attains a maximum
height of 45ft., and contains 65,000 cubic yards of earth.
The works ace also advancing on the extension to Bartlow,
a further length of six miles. The line is to be worked by
the Great Eastern.
