RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

COUKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at Cockermouth on Friday—Mr. J. STEEL,
M.P., in the chair. _ _

The report stated that the working expenses,
although from some special causes greater than
usual, had not exceeded 42 per cent. of the receipts,
and the balance against restoration account had
been reduced to £3,022. The directors recom-
mended a dividend of 10s. per share. The opening
of the Keswick Railway (expected to take place in
June next), by making the Cockermouth and Work-
ington line part of a now route eastward and south-
ward, would render it desirable to adapt their
working arrangements so as to conduce to the deve-
lopment of the anticipated traffic. The engineer
and locomotive superintendent reported that the
rolling stock was in good working order.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the prospects of the line seemed to be
extremely satisfactory. He believed there had
been a large increase of traffic.
Mr. MUSGRAVE, in seconding the motion, ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the prosperous state of
the undertaking.

The report was adopted, and a dividend of 10s.
per share for the past half-year was declared.
The meeting was then made special, and ths,
directors were authorised to raise additional capital
to the amount of £24,000, by the issue of 4,000
shares of £5 each, and a further issue of 800 pre-
ferential shares of £5 each, bearing a fixed divi-
dead of 41 per cent, per annum.
The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks
to the chairman and directors.

Pius XI, and the Nations.

The following is the text of the address, already
brirfly announced in our columns by telegram, as
having been the 'other day solemnly presented to
the Holy Father by 300 Catholics of all nations, at
present in Rome:—

Holy Father,—As Catholics of all the nations represented
in the capital of Christesdom, we have solicited the honour
of laying at the feet of your llDlincas the home 7,-e of our
deepest veneration and most laith;Ul self-devotion. We
have alrcady been witlesses at the beginning of the New
Year that your Holiness was greeted by the inhabitants of
your city of Rome with moving manifestations of their love.
Be it also allowed to ns, your children in the spiritual order
of things, to hail with our greetings and our good wishes
that Pontifical royalty, made more sacred still by misfor-
tune, and the necessity of whose existence increases in the
very proportion of the criminal machinations which threaten
it from abroad.

May the year which is opening be better than preceding
years. May it bring some consolation to your paternal heart!
May it, by the restoration of you- authority, satisfy tha
long expectation of justice and eight, which have not on
earth a more august impersorification then your Holiness
Such is our most ardent deAre, and the prayer which risr
from our souls towards that God whose Vicar you ere.

Having been witnesses of all the great works of a univer-
sal character which are being carried out in Rome, we shall
go back to our vatious counties to tell to our brethren how
just and holy is the duty of exiling in aid of the wants of
our common Father cud of our eonamon country. For
Rome, such as the piety of ages has made her, Rome is
truly our common counts}eeeas.you are our 'common Father.
There is no nation, however rebellious or wandering, who is
not under obligation to the Holy Roman Church. It is she
who keeps entire the depesitof moral tenths without which a'l
societies would retina to barbarism. It is from her womb,
ever torn yet ever prolific, that cable forth, end still come
forth, the Apostles of all nations.
We, who come from the most varied climes, from the
East or the West, front Europe or America, to meet at the
feet of your Holiness, we cannot make a step in Rome with-
out meeting with footsteps of some great ancestor in our
faith. Within that magnificent enclosure, which St. Peter
crucifies contemplated and blessed from the top of the Jani-
culum, everything, from the prison of St. Paul to the trium-
phal spot of his martyrdom, from the Church of St. Gregory
to that of St Clement, from the Missions of St Alexis to those
of the Gesu, everything speaks to us of our native lands ;
there did the heroic men, who gave baptism to our nations
and bore them to civilization, draw their inspiration end
fire their souls with the sacred fire; St. Denis of the French,
St. Austin of the English, St. Patrick of the Irish, St.
Boniface of the Germans, St. Adalbert of the Poles, St.
Cyril of the Russians, St. Ausehait us of the Scandinavians.
We should quote the Popes also ; for,creators and saviours
as they are of Italy, they belong at the same time, by the
immensity of their Apostleship, to the whole of mankind !
How then, Holy Father, should not our gratitude mingle
with our admiration ? At present, perhaps, more than ever
under your memorable Pontificate, the Ete,nal City ap-
pears as the universal city; everything done in Rome is
done for the city and the whole world, Those seminaries
for all nations founded or kept up by your solicitude, those
houses of hospitality, those colleges, oecumenical as it were,
that incomparable institution of Propaganda, where we
were present but yesterday at one of the grandest festivals
of the great human family; those crypts restored to the
light of day and the veneration of the faithful ; those ma-
jestic basilicas found again underground or restored from
their ruins ; these cemeteries of the martyrs honoured with
a lei() which recalls that of Damascus and Pascal ;
that museum of the Lateran, added to so many other
magnificent displays ; those daring and learned re-
searches in the depths of the catacombs, whence we see
come forth, thanks to splendid publications, a new and
irrefutable apology for our holy religion; those pious resto-
rations of an immortal past, which your Holiness carries on
with a magnanimous tranquillity through spoliations and
persecutions I—in a word, so many works and so many
labours, which are the glory of Rome, are Christendom's
treasure and form a part of her most precious patrimony.
And we may say, in the name of our brethren, that Christen-
dom shall aeknowledge so many services and benefits.
The St. Peter's Pence, resuscitated in days of crisis; by
the free charity of the faithful, is, first and foremost, a
debt of conscience. Is it not just that all should contribute
to what is a profit for ail ? Christendom shall not be went-
ing to her sacred obligation. She knows that in its more
and more generous realisation resides, until the restoration
of order, one of-the last gtreenteeeeof the material hide-
pendenea of the Church. She will try to make her offerings
equal your misfortune and her love; and, at the same
time, she will continue to send her children around you,
in the ranks of that Pontifical army, issued also in full life
from the spontaneous impulse of children who see their
Father attacked, and from the Royal inspiration of your
heart, which in spite of perils from without, would not
allow the often• necessary but ever rigorous burden of con-
scription to weigh on your subjects. This army of volunteers
of all countries, so small in numbers, so great from the re-
collection of Castelfidardo which rests on it, is greater still
from its spirit of sacrifice, from its disinterested self-devo-
tion, from its patient abnegation, from all those qualities
which are the noblest form of heroism, and truly worthy
of watching with the soldiers of France around the chair of
St. Peter and of Pius IL I
It is with such feelings, Holy Father, of veneration for
your person, of admiration for your courage and virtues,
of absolute devotion to your cause, of unshakeable and
calm trust in the triumph promised by Providence to your
rights,

The Pope responded to this address by one of
those impressive allocutions of which that august
Pontiff knows the secret, and which was tran-
scribed by some of its hearers with all possible
fidelity, as follows ;
The words, so full of tenderness, which you have made
me hear, my dear sons, and which give to my poor heart
new strength to maintain to the end right, justice, and
truth—those words are but the echo of what the Church,
' and Religion have given to hear to the world.
They are the echo of that voice of justice and truth which
ttleheeAPpoopsetles and their successors have raised in all ages, at
all times, and especially in the time in which we live.
The Apostle St. Peter, as St. Lawrence has said, by
coming to Rome showed a greater and more courageous faith
than when he walked on the sea; the greater :tom his en-
tering into a city which was then but a forest of wild and
irritable beasts. But little by little, en listening to the
voice of the Apostle of Jesus Christ, those wild beasts be-
came good and obedient lambs. During the very first hour,
St. Peter sent into Umbria St. Briceus, and into Romagna
St. Apollinarius.
The inhabitants of those countries lived at that time in
barbarism and paganism. I know not whether it was in
God's designs to give these provinces to the Church as a
patrimony, but I know that the Church possesses them at
present, that they are entrusted to the Pope ; and what 1
know particularly is that I shall never consent to abandon
my dear sons, by granting you my Apostolic
them, or to any shameful compromise.
Blessing; that if I desire to
wish to say, however,
keep those provinces, it is not t 3 be a King. Many people
leoncludbeu,t I
pretend that the Pope wishes to be a King. Ne I I keep
them because such is my duty, because it is a necessity in
the order of the Church, that she should preserve what
Providence has given her.
My ambition as a Pope is to be the worthy successor of
the Apostles, to maintain in all kingdoms the spirit of faith
and love, to teach to nations obedience and to Princes love
and respect for right and justice. This is the reason why
it is necessary for the Pope to keep his own kingdom ! And
what are the kingdoms of the earth? Wretchedness
wretchedness I But no one has a right to touch what is
mine ; no one. And to the end I will make that voice of
justice and truth be heard.
Let us listen, then, to:the voice of the Apostles of Jesus
Christ, my very dear sons ; and may God bless you all, in
society, ever, and make you live in a Christian manner, and
as happily as is possible in this vale of tears.
Among the signatures to the address are the most illus-
trious as well as the most humble names of English, Irish,
French, Italian, American, Polish, lee., Catholics.

FIRE AT HAcgNEY,—Yesterday morning, be-
tween the hours of two and three o'clock, a fire happened in
the premises belonging io Mr. J. Chis well, an eating house-
keeper, No. 11, Broadway, London-fields, Hackney. For-
tunately the occupants were enabled to effect their escape
from the buildings without receiving any personal injury.
Upon the arrival of the firemen they found the whole of
Mr. Chiswell's premises enveloped in flames, The mains
of the East London Company's works having yielded a
bountiful supply of water, the brigade at once took advan-
tage of the same, but the fire could not be extinguished un-
til the building and its stock in trade, the furniture, and
other ctLets v,-ere totally destroyed. The origin of the fire
is unknown,.

Mr, Dickens's Remembrance of Mr,
Thackeray.

I saw him first, nearly twenty-eight years ego;
when he proposed to become the illustrator of my
earliest book. I saw him last, shortly before Christ-
mas, at the Athee team Club, when he told me that he
had been in bed three days—that,after these attacks,
he was troubled with cold shiverings, " which quite
took the power of work out of him"--md that he
had it in his mind to try a new remedy which he
laughingly described. He was very cheerful, and
looked very bright. In the night of that day week,
he died.

The long interval between those two periods is
marked in my remembrance of him by many occa-
sions when he was supremely humorous, when he
was irresistibly extravagant, when he was softened
and serious, when he was charming with children.
But, by none do I recall him more tenderly than by
two or three that start out of the crowd, when he
unexpectedly presented himself in my room, an-
nouncing how that some passage in a certain book
had made him cry yesterday, and how that he had
come to dinner, " because he couldn't help it,", and-
must talk some passage over. No cne can eve,'" hiave
seen him more genial, natural, cordial, fresh, and,
honestly imp:sive, than I hare seen him at those
times. No one can be surer than 1,70 f the greatness
and the goodness of the heart that then disclosed
itself.

Wo had our differences of opinion. I thought
that he too much feigned a want of earnestness, and
that he made a pretence of undervaluing his art,
which was not good for the art that he held in trust.
But, when he fell upon these topics, it was never
very gravely, and I have a lively image of hint in
my mind, twisting both,his hands in his hair, and
stamping about, laughing, to make an end of the
discussion.

When we were associated in remembrance of the
late Mr. Douglas Jerrold, he delivered a public lec-
ture in London, in the course of which he read his
very best contribution to Punch, des-ribing the
grown up cares of a poor family of young children.
No one hearing him could have doubted his natural
gentleness, or his thoroughly unaffected manly sym-
pathy with the weak and lowly. He read the paper
most pathetically, and with a simplicity of tender-
ness that certainly moved one of his audience to
tears. This was presently after his standing for
Oxford, from which place he had despatched his
agent to me, with a droll note (to which he after-
wards added a verbal pestcript) urging me to "come
down and make a speech, end tell them who he
was, for he doubted whether more than two of the
electors had ever heard of him, and he thought then-
might be as many as six or eight who had heard of
me." He introduced the lecture just mentioned,
with a reference to his late electioneering failure,
which was full of good sense, good spirits, and good
humour.

He had a particular delight in boys, and an ex-
cellent way with them. I remember his once
asking me with fantastic gravity, when he had been
to Eton where my eldest son then was, whether I
felt as he did in regard of never seeing a boy with-
out wanting instantly to give him a sovereign. I
thought of this when I lcoked down into his grave
after he was laid there, for I looked down into it
over the shoulder of a boy to whom he had been
kind.

These are slight remembrances; but it is to little
familiar things suggestive of the voice, look, man
ner, never, Lever more to be encountered on this
earth, that the mind first turns in a bereavement.
