LANCASTER AND CARLISLE.

The half-yearly Meeting of this company was held
yesterday at Liverpool—Mr. E. W. Hassell in the chair.
The report stated that the receipts for passenger traffic
were rather in excess of those for the corresponding period
of last year, but in the goods department there had been
a falling off of about 6,0001. The traffic account showed
the receipts to be 157,1291., the expenditure 67,8991.,
leaving a balance of 89,2301., out of which the directors
recommended a dividend to be paid at the rate of 7i per
cent. per annum, which, with the proportion payable to
the Lancaster and -Preston Company, and the interest of
loans, would require 86,1361., and, after adding 3,0001.
to the renewal fund, a balance of 2051. would remain to
be carried to next account.

The CRAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the re-
port,
Mr. H. GARNETT proposed an ameudoent, that the
dividend should be 8 per cent. instead of but, after
some explanation, he withdrew his amendment.
The report was adopted, and the dividend was de-
clared.

CORK AND BANDON.
The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this company
was held at the London Tavern yesterday; General
Chatterton in the chair.

The CJIAIR3IAN expressed the various suggestions that
had been made by committees of shareholders in London,
Dublin, and Cork, in respect to raising money to pay off
the debts due to the Lean Commissioners and other par-
ties. He concluded by moving a reslution to the effect,
that debentures bearing interest at 5 per cent., at five
years' date, be offered to the registered shareholders in
amounts bearing a proportion to the stock respectively
held by them in the capital of the company, and ad-
journing the meeting to the 28th inst.
Mr. G-. D. FZIIGUSON seconded the motion, which
was carried, and the meeting adjourned.

SHIRE.

The working expenses and other outgoings of this com-
pany's railways in the fortnight ending the 24th of Feb.
have amounted to 10,3731., including the clearing away
of the snow. The expenses for the three previous fort-
nights have already been stated at 28,232/ , so that the
total expenses for the first four fortnights of the half-year

the railway traffic carried in the whole period. The pro-
portion of the Manchester, South Junction, and Altrinc-
ham Railway Company's receipts accruing to this com-
pany for the period from the Ist of January to the 24th

and other outgoings during the came period to 1,4181.,
or at the rate of 54i per cent.

WIDOWS OF OFFICERS.

Lord A. PAGET gave notice that this day fortnight
be should move an address praying her Majesty to be
graciously pleased to direct that the widows and chil-
dren of officers killed in action, or who had died of
disease while engaged against the enemy, should re-
ceive the value of their commission.
NEWSPAPER STAMP.

Mr. COWAN wished to know if it was intended to
proceed with the Newspaper Stamp Bill to-morrow,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had not yet been able to make himself master of the
subject, and therefore he should propose to postpone the
bill till to-morrow week, when he should be prepared to
state his views with regard to it, and to fix a day for
taking the discussion on the second reading.
London, England, 1855-03-08

his evidence that a thousand men could have made a
road in ten days, and that the army was destroyed for the
want of it ; but no member of this sapient committee
thought proper to ask whose duty it was to make the
road, or to see that it was made. These are the matters
of fact which should engage their attention, and these
are the lapses which it will be the duty of the forth-
coming meetings of the towns to consider and deal with.
The Times has now at last found what were the real
and original causes of the destruction of our army, every
one of which we denounced at the proper time, and
every one of which was bolstered up by our contempo-
rary as trifling or of no importance. In vain we pointed
out, in April and May last, that a body of infantry
landed on a bare sea coast, without artillery, with very
little cavalry, without a commissariat, baggage train,
medical ambulance, or cattle for the conveyance of any
of these, even if they possessed them—however it might
be considered fit for garrison duty, could never be viewed
as or act in the character of an army. All remon-
strance against these things was called in those days
"croaking," but bitterly have our unfortunate soldiers
paid for our advice being under-rated.
Our contemporary now talks a great deal of nonsense
about the misfortunes cf the army being occasioned by
the want of a scientific staff, but although we yield to
Ilona in the wish for the proper training of our staff
officers, we must insist that it was want of common
sense, if not deliberate error, which occasioned all our
misfortunes.

What scientific knowledge was necessary to order
30,000 or 40,000 pairs of boots and a sufficiency of
warm clothing to be shipped from England at the end
of August or beginning of September, when the expedi-
tion to the Crimea was determined on ? Surely common
sense might have told even the Duke of Newcastle that
wherever the army wintered these things would be
wanted. Common sense might have told the Govern-
ment at home that reinforce,lents would be required if
the war was to be carried on, and that an army of re-
serve should be stationed in the Mediterranean ; and
yet the Coalition sent no reinforcements till November,
and then sent the unfortunate men to perish in their
summer clothing, while Lord Palmerston, for fear the
supplies of troops, which were evidently necessary,
should be at the disposal of Government, obstinately
and peremptorily refused to embody the
These are a few of the things which Mr. Roebuck's
committee should investigate, and these are the matters
which the forthcoming meetings mast insist shall be
probed to the very bottom.

WEST INDIA REGIMENTS.

Colonel WYNN wished to ask the Under Secretary
of State for War, whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government to relieve the 36z,h, 67th, and
69th Regiments, which have been stationed in the West
Indies for four year!.
Mr. PEEL said the war had quite deranged the order
of recalling regiments serving abroad.

EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.
Mr. DUNLOP asked the Lord Advocate whether it
was the intention of Government to introduce an educa-
tion bill for Scotland this session ; and if so, whether it
would be brought in before the 28th inst., on which day
the Schools (Scotland) Bill of the hon. member for
Perthshire stands for second reading, and what course
the Government intende to pursued in reference to th a,
bill ?

The LORD-ADVOCATE said, in answer to the first
question, that it was the intention of the Government to
bring in an Education Bill for Scotland. With regard
to the second question, Government could not give their
support to the bill mentioned by the hon. member.

TILE ART-UNION OF GLARGOTV.

Yesterday afternoon we availed ourselves of the polite
invitation of Mr. Kidson to inspect, at 121, Pall-mall,
the prize paintings to be distributed amongst the mem-
bers of the Art-Union of Glasgow, in July next. They
consist, at present, of one hundred and eleven pictures,
the majority of which are painted in oil colours, andsome of them are perfect gems of art. As most of the plc-
tures have been publicly exhibited we are not called upon
to enter into the merits or demerits of them, and
we shall here only refer to a few of the most strik-
ing amongst them. First and foremost then the eye
of the visitor is attracted by a painting by Sant,
entitled " Watching the Combat ;" it consists of three
Saxon maidens watching from an aperture in the
rocks the struggle going on between their countrymen
and the Danish invaders. The picture, although in an
unfinished state, is an exceedingly beautiful one, though
there are portions to which we object. We have no
doubt but that an opportunity will occur to enable us
to pronounce judgment on it in a finished state. " Musi-
dore," by Frost, is one of his most exquisite productions;
and " Sunset," by Branwhite, is another fine painting.
The rays of the declining sun passing through the clump
of trees to the left seem actually to warm you as you
gaze upon them. "Au Irish Cabin Door," by Dean, is a
perfect picture. "Mending Tapestry," by D. Pasmore,
is remarkable for the filling up of the back ground, but
it will be greatly improved when the extreme whiteness
of the maiden's dress is mellowed down by time.
" Flowers," by Miss Moutrie, also deserves special
commendation, and the frame only dispels the delusion
that they are not reality.
We were informed that the collection is still incom-
plete, as a number of pictures from Edinburgh are still
expected. The exhibition will open to the public to-
morrow, and to those who visit it we drop the hint that
the subscription list is still open. Like the Art-Union
of London, the subscription is one guinea, which can be
paid in the room ; or at the office of Mr. G. Grant, 66,
Gracechureh-street, City.

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S VISIT TO
TI3E CRIMEA.

A letter received from Paris this morning, con- 1
tains the following important intelligence :
" The Emperor's departure is considered certain.
Indeed, it is believed that he will set out to-morrow
for Lyons, with the Empress. There is little doubt
that his journey to the East has more objects in
view than a mere visit to the Crimea, and that
it also has reference to a plan of operations of an
extent commensurate with such a war as the pro-
s:mt. On the precise nature of this plan of course
much secrecy is observed, but it is nevertheless
stated that a camp of at least 40,000 men will be
established at Constantinople, and that the divisions
of recent formation are destined for it. The closing
of the passage of Perekop, through which the sup-
plies in provisions and men have been so long sent
to Sebastopol, has been always an object of much
interest to the Allies. Could that be effected,
with the force the Turks now have at Eupatoria,
and with the establishment cf a complete invest-
ment of Sebastopol, the Russian army in the
Crimea would be at the mercy of the Allies. I hear
it is proposed that the Austrian army, under
Coronini, said to be composed of 60,000 men,
will make a junction with the French division
proceeding from Constantinople, no doubt by sea,
and that the point will be on the borders of Mol-
davia,. Both- armies would thence invade Bessa-
rabia, and take up such a position as would inter-
cept the communications, and of course prevent
any new reinforcements descending to the relief of
the army in the Crimea.
It is positively stated that a twelfth division of
the army in the East is in course of formation.
The forces destined for the East will be composed
of not less than 15 divisions.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. t

SOUTH-EASTERN.

A meeting of shareholders in this company was held
in Manchester on Tuesday to consider the question re-
lating to the election of new directors; Mr. A. Kay was
voted to the chair. •

The CHAIRMAN having explained the objects cf the
meeting,
A long discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr.
C. Child and Mr. A. Beattie, directors of the company,
entered into explanations of their views, and that of
other members of the board, with regard to the policy
that should be pursued in respect to other companies,
and the means that should !le adopted to improve the
property of the company. Those explanations appeared
to be satisfactory to the propriet ors present, who, it was
stated, represented nearly 2,000,0.Q0/. of the stock of the
company.
Resolutions were passed in favour •of re-electing Mr.
Rich, Mr. Beattie, and Mr. Gilpin, the retiring direc-
tors ; and of electing Mr. Cross, Mr. lloyes, Mr. Mel-
lor, and Mr. G. Thompson to fill the t acancies at the
board. It was believed that the adopthan of this mea-
sure would put an end to.the discord which has hitherto
prevailed at the board, and enable the mAnabers of it. to
direct their attention to the developmenc .of the traffic
and the cultivation of friendly relations with neighbour-
ing companies.
The proceedings concluded with votes of .thanks to
Messrs. Child and Beattie and to the chairi.sian for
their exertions in promoting the interests of the share-
holders.

MILITIA SE RJEANTS.

It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
einciples of personal management which cannot be violated without
curring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
aie heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
t, ,d how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there Ic scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

DR. KAHN'S MUSEUM,

Last evening we were favoured with a private view of
this exhibition on its removal from Piccadilly to No. 4,
Coventry-street. To the numerous preparations and
models for which the museum is celebrated others have
been added, reflecting great credit on the 1 berality aid
skill,of the proprietor. Some of the models are highly
artistic productions, and the entire exhibition is arranged
in a satisfactory manner. Lectures will be delivered,
we understand, as usual, by Dr. Sexton, whose ability
as a lecturer is generally recognised. To the student
of anatomy, of physiology and ethnology, to the men-
tiers of the medical profession and others, a visit to the
museum cannot fail to be highly interesting and I
in-
structive.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.

By F. B. C OURTE NAY,

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
mater of surprise that he sh aild enjoy the reputation of being a
most 61exterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to thorn, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res..ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care w. would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

SPAIN.

We learn by a despatch from the Captain-General
of Catalonia to the Minister of War, dated the 27th
ult., that the Carlist chief Borgeshadcollected fifty
or 0 men, and surprised a detachment of the in-
fantry regiment of Victoria, commanded by Capt.
Gabriel Ruhiales, who, after a stout resistance,
being wounded, with five of his men, the remainder
took to flight, leaving some prisoners in the hands
of the Carlists who had two men killed and four
wounded. The same band entered the city of
Biosca, attacked the house of the Commandant,
whose horse and arms they carried off, but were
quickly purituedby the National Guard, who wounded
several of the band and dispersed the remainder.
This Clearly proves that the Carlists have not
abandoned their plans of a civil war. •

THE WEST INDIA MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING.

The Royal. Mail Company's steam sliip Atrato,
Capt. Woolley, arrived this mornimr, with the West
India and Pacific rnAils, 58 passengers, $496,738 in
specie, $34,877 value in plate ping, $4OO pearls and
jewellery, and a full general cargo.
Her dates are—Jamaica, Aug. 11 ; Demerara,
10 ; Trinidad, 12 ; Barbadoes, 15 ; St. Thomas',
22.

The Eagle, with the mails from the Windward
route, broke down, and was obliged to return to
Grenada, and the mails from Demerara, and Trini-
dad were sent to St. Thomas's in a hired vessel.
The mails from Barba.does were also sent on to St.
Thomas's in a hired ship.
The Atrato brings no mails from St. Vincent,
St.-Lucia, Dominica, Antima, Montserrat, Nevis,
St. Kitts, Havannah, or Mex►co.

The yellow fever was declining at St. Thomas,
and smallpox had shown itself in many places.
,At Barbadoes yellow fever was in existence
among the troops.
At Jamaica the weather had been intensely hot.
The island was in a tranquil state. Fever was
very prevalent. The market was dull, and bare of
provisions. Exchange on London was quoted, at
90 days, 1 'per cent. prem. ; 60 days, 1 per cent.

THE BALTIC.

- -
The Independance Belge publishes the following
Letter, dated Hamburg, Ist inst.:--

"We have ascertained the motive of the unexpected
arrival at Kiel, of the French liner Austerlitz, of 101
guns. That fine vessel, which already experienced diffe-
rent accidents during the first campaign in the Baltic,
was recently twice driven on sandbank; and her keel has
suffered such serious injury that it was found necessary
to send her back to France to undergo repairs. The
English bomb vessels, ordered to England by Admiral
Dundas, are still lying at Elsinore, awaiting further in-
structions from the Government. They cannot be em-
ployed again this year in any operation, being completely
unserviceable. Theirconstruction as ships of waris deficient
in solidity, and professional men who have inspected
them cannot conceive how the Admiralty could seed
such slight vessels to so dangerous a sea as the Baltic.
The French transport Marne had arrived at Nargen,
with the war materiel destined for the squadron of Rear-
Admiral Penaud. The two French gun-boats Argue-
buse and St. Barbe are still at Kiel waiting the orders
of their Governments. The number of days favourable
to naval operations in the Gulf of Finland is rapidly
diminishing, and the Allied fleets will soon be com-
pelled to retire by the equinoctial gales. The
rector of the University of HeNngfors, in Finland,
has announced that, in consequence of the continua-
tion of the war, all the lectures, which were to com-
mence on the Ist inst., would he suspended till the
cessation of hostilities. The English ship of the line
Sanspareil, lately arrived at Kiel, with an enormous
cargo of projectiles for the English fleet, weighed anchor
yesterday to return to England, with her entire cargo,
on receipt of a telegraphic despatch to that effect.
Admiral Dundas will not consequently receive those
munitions of war which be had so earnestly applied for.
It may be inferred from this fact that no other operation
is contemplated in the Baltic before next spring. The
crew of the transport Cottineham, wrecked in the be-
ginning of August, on the coast of the island of Goth-
land, passed yesterday through Hamburg, on their way
to England. The sick and wounded on board were for-
tunately saved, and no life was lost."

BOW-STREET.

POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—John Grace, a letter-carrier,
WAR placed at the bar charged with stealing various
letters, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster•
General.

The Solicitor to the Post•office having stated the case,

Mr. J. Adlington, a grocer, residing at Gravesend,
said—on Monday last he wrote a letter and enclosed in
it a cheque for 461. 14s. 6d., drawn on the London and
County Bulk. He crossed the cheque previous to
sending it, and having placed the letter in an adhepiv.,
envelope, which he directed to Messrs. Ruck and Son,
40, King William-street, London. It was about twenty
minutes past 12 when be despatched a lad named John
Atwood with it to the post-office. He expected an
answer to the letter, and not receiving any he made in
quiries relative to it. He had also ascertained
that the cheque had not been presented for payment at
the bank. _

John Atwood said he was in the service of Mr. Ad-
lington at Gravesend. On Monday last he received a
letter from his master to post, directed to Messrs. Ruck
and Son, 40, Sing William-street, city, at about 20
nsinute3 past 12. He took the letter to the General Post-
office at Gravesend, and there deposited it, two or three
minutes before •ne, in the same state as he had received
it from Mr. Adlington.
A second charge was then proceeded with, in order to
embrace the two cases in one indictment.

Joseph Ruddick, a linen draper at Gravesend, stated
on Monday last he wrote a letter and enclosed a cheque
for 11. Bs. in it. The cheque was drawn by his wife
Martha, on the London and City Bank, and also crossed
by ber. The letter and cheque were then placed in an
adhesive envelope, and addressed John Clark, junior, and
Co., 72, Aldermanbury, City. He posted the letter
himself at Gravesend, at about eleven o'clock. He bad
not received an answer to the letter. He had made in-
quiries respecting the letter and its contents, and
found that the cheque had not been presented at the
bank. He identified the fragments of a letter produced
as forming part of the letter be had posted at Gravesend.
Walter Tisdell, a clerk in the Post-office at Gravesend,
stated that at five minutes before one the mail-bag was
made up and despatched to London, and all letters
posted before that hour would have been forwarded by
that bag.
Mr. Richard Ruck, resided at 40, King William-
street, City. He assisted his father in his business. He
had bad evidence given to-day relative to the letter
posted at Gravesend, and directed to their house. That
letter never reached its destination.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have ar-
rived. They announce that the once famous Be.
raldo is about to re-appear. The committee of the
Junta on tariffs, specially charged to make a report
on cotton tissues, had held several deliberations.
It is said that the Minister of Finance intends to
present a measure to the Cortes for the definitive
regulation of the debt immediately after their
meeting. A letter of the Ist says that tne demo-
cratic party in Galicia had held a meeting at Coldas
de Reis, which was attended by several deputies
of the Cortes, for the purpose of discussing what
line of policy it is follow under existing circum-
stances, and especially in the event of the Duke
de la Victoria quitting the government. In other
provinces, and especially in Valencia and Estra-
madura, the democratic party has lately displayed
consider aLle activity. The government is keeping
a strict watch on the movements of the party, and
is determined to act energetically against it, in the
event of its being guilty of any illegality. A small
Carlist band has appeared near Tarragon, and
Marshal O'Donnell's brigade, which was on the
march from Burgos to Madrid, has received orders
to occupy Medina Coeli, an important strategic po-
sition in Aragon.
