ULSTER RAILWAY.—A_
special general meeting of the
shareholders of the Ulster Railway Company was held in
the board room at the Belfast terminus on Tuesday. Tho
attendance was large and very influential. The object for
which the meeting was assembled will be understood from
the following resolution :—" It is moved by the chairman
of the board of the Ulster Railway directors, that the re-
commendation of the directors be adopted, and that they
be authorised to subscribe, on behalf of the Ulster Railway
Company, for 4,000 shares of 251. each, in the proposed
line to Clones, on such terms and conditions for the pro-
tection of the interests of this company, as they may deem
expedient." This motion, after a protracted discussion,
duringral which several amendments were moved and with-
dvn, was carried by a majority of the meeting to three
dissentients. It was stated by Mr. Harrison that Mr.
Daman had said the Clones line would be one of the best
in Ireland.
LADVERTISEMETI—The Curative Properties of Hollo-
way's Ointment and Pills are daily attested.—All ranks
of society and medical men, both at home and abroad,
speak of these incomparable medicines in the most flat-
tering terms, and assert that in the severest cases of
chronic ulcers, those even which were considered incur-
able, Holloway's Ointment has been truly efficacious,
when used ; and there is no disputing the fact that Hol-
loway's Pills are the very best family medicine ever
known or tried. These admirable remedies will cure
bad legs, however inveterately diseased ; likewise rheu-
matic affections, glandular swellings, and the most
obstinate cases of scurvy, scrofula, or King's evil.—
Sold by all vendors of medicines ; and at Professor Hol-
loway's Establishment, 244, Strand, Loudon.

BOW STREET-( THIS DAY).

John Smith, about 60 years of age, a driver of a fly,
was charged before Mr. Henry with furiously driving
over one of the collectors of toll at the Waterloo Bridge,
with intent to do him some bodily harm.
It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, and
a police constable, that this morning, about half-past
four, the defendant, who was driving a party of ladies
home from a ball, went up to the Surrey side of the
bridge, and having paid 2d. tollAwas asked for his excise
ticket. He said it was a private carriage, and upon the
collector getting in front he drove over him, and by some
means, the collectors' feet getting rested on the springs
of the carriage, he was dragged along the road for several
yards, whereby he sustained a hurt of both his legs, his
head was injured, and he had a very narrow escape of
his life.

The defendant, in defence, said he did all ke could to
stop his horse, but it was a very spirited one. He had
been out from eight the previous evening.
Mr. Henry said the horse he believed could not be
very spirited after being out so many hours, and he
should inflict a fine of 51., or two months' hard labour.
He might also state, that the defendant had, by not
having an excise ticket, rendered himself liable to a fine
of 101.

The fine was not paid, and the-,prisoner was sent to
prison.

THE WESTMINSTER PLA Y.

night by the Westminster scholars, according to the
statutes in such case made and provided. The following

• R. M. Freeman.
. E. Wodehouse.

The Syrus of Mr. Twiss was very good. The drunken
scene in the fourth act was a perfect bit of acting. Mr.
Oliver placed the fretful acerbities of Demea in tolerable
relief, and the gentler deportment of Micio was well ex-
hibited by Mr. Gilbert, while, to the benevolent speeches
of Hegio Mr. Lavie gave very considerable feeling. The
play altogether was capitally acted. According to
recent rule, the critical scream of Pamphilia, in the sixth
scene of the fourth act was omitted.

The prologue for the year, tributary solely to the
memory of the Duke of Wellington, was delivered by the
captain of the school, Mr. Q. W. F. Twiss, amid much
incidental applause. The epilogue dealt chiefly with the
gold discoveries, the Syrus of the evening, Mr. Twiss,
personating a Yankee, lndicrously exaggerated in cos-
tume, with much comic gusto. At the termination of the
performance the national anthem was played, while the
largesses of the visitors were collected in the trencher
caps of the scholars.

THE IRON TRADE.

BIRMINGUAM, SEPTEMBER 27.—Much excitement
has prevailed in the iron trade throughout the last
week, and it is with great difficulty that business can
be transacted. Most of the large makers have yet
orders on hand, taken at the low prices, that will
consume a large portion of the ensuing quarter to
work off; and manufacturers in general are so
pressed by their customers at the 20s. advance already
declared, and even at higher figures, that they feel
much hesitation in making sales. It is stated that
circulars have been sent out by some houses quoting
from 30s. to 40s. advance upon their last quarter's
sales; while the more moderate are refusing to accept
orders, unles3 subject to future operations. From
London, Liverpool, and all the places of export, re-
port speaks of extraordinary activity, and doubtless
there exists, both here and in all other iron districts,
still a decided upward tendency ; but we are not aware
that any formal declaration of more than 203. on the
nominal price of iron will he proposed at the preliminary
meeting to be held at Wolverhampton on Thursday
next. The result of its deliberations is looked forward
to with some anxiety; but it should be remembered,
as we some time since stated, that to reach even the
prices that would be so declared, a very much larger
advance than 20s. (in some cases full 405.) will have
to be obtained, and to anything further We do not
think purchasers would be at all inclined to submit.
In the meantime meetings have been held in the
different localities to arrange the amount of wages to
be given to the yariou3 classes of workmen, and the
time from which the advance shall be paid; and we
trust that a better understanding has now been estab-
lished, and WApo fuzllier ieterruptien will be ex-

SHEBBNESI;, SEPT. 29.-1-ler Majesty's paddle-
wheel steam-vessel Wildfire, tender to the Waterloo,
120, Mr. Brockman, second master, commanding,
has returned from n Heligoland. During jher voyage
to this port she t mcountered very boisterous weather.
Her Majesty's steam-sloop Barracouta is under-
going a thorough refit. She made the voyage from
Spithead to the an chorage off Funchal, Madeira, a
distance of 1,330 in 5i days, her average speed
being 92 knots, the engines working the first two
days on the first grade, and subsequently on the
second grade of expansion. With a moderate breeze
right aft and square sail set she went fully 10 knots
per hour. Under steam alone, with a smooth sea,
her actual speed during her passage from Madeira to
Lisbon, a distance of 530 miles, was very nearly 101
knots. She accomplished the voyage from Lisbon to
Spithead in 100 hours, which, as the distance between
these anchorages is 860 miles, gives en hourly average
of 8.6 knots only. This decrease in her rate of
steaming is accounted for by the fact of her having
had to contend with a strong breeze in the Bay of
Biscay, otherwise she would have reached Spithead
in 3f days. It has been observed of the Barracouta
that when deeply laden, having her full quantity of
coal and three months' provisions on board, her speed
in smooth water is from 8 to 9f knots per hour; but
when light and nearly out of coal it is from 10 to 10f
knots ; and with a strong breeze in her favour she
attains to more than 11 knots.

The unfortunate seamen who fell from the main-
yard of the London on Monday last expired just as
the Lizard was in readiness to convey him to Mel-
ville Hospital. An inquest was holden on the body
yesterday, and a verdict of Accidental death re-
corded.

GEItIVIAN Y.

The Diet of Darmstadt, which was prorogued on
the Ist July, is summoned to meet on the 29th.
A letter from Berlin, of the 24th, states that the
less elevated state of the temperature has checked the
progress of the cholera in that city. An official re-
port which has been just published there has tended
much to reassure the public mind. Only three
new cases had occurred on the 23d. The news
from Posen and Western Prussia was also less
alarming.

The King of PRUSSIA. arrived at Hanover on the
24th from Berlin, and, after a short delay, proceeded
on his way to Oldenburg.
The ratifications of the treaty concerning the suc-
cession to the throne of Denmark, of the 3d of May
last, have just been exchanged at Vienna in presence
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the usual
forms.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA passed a grand review
of 40,000 troops on the 22d at Pesth. They con-
sisted of 40 regiments of infantry, 16 of cavalry,
24 batteries of artillery, and several companies of the
reserve. The EMPEROR, who wore the uniform of a
Field-Marshal, was received on his arrival by the
Archduke ALBERT, who commanded the troops. His
MAJESTY was accompanied by the Hereditary Grand
Duke of RUSSIA, the Prince Royal of IV URTEMBURG,
the Prince Regent of BADEN, and the Prince Royal
of SAXON Y ; and was followed by a numerous staff,
together with a great number of English, Russian,
French, and other foreign officers. The English
Ambassador, the Earl of WESTMORELAND, was in the
uniform of a General, and wore the Cross of Saint
Theresa, which was given to him in 1815. The
filing-off of the troops occupied an hour and a half,
and whilst it was taking place the bands played the
national hymn of Russia.

THE IRON TRADE.

BIRMINGHAM, SEPTEMBER 27.—Much excitement
has prevailed in the iron trade throughout the last
week, and it is with great difficulty that business can
be transacted. Most of the large makers have yet
orders on hand, taken at the low prices, that will
consume a large portion of the ensuing quarter to
work off; and manufacturers in general are 50
pressed by their customers at the 20s. advance already
declared, and even at higher figures, that they feel
much hesitation in making sales. It is stated that
circulars have been sent out by some houses quoting
from 30s. to 403. advance upon their last quarter's
sales; while the more moderate are refusing to accept
orders, unless subject to future operations. From
London, Liverpool, and all the places of export, re-
port speaks of extraordinary activity, and doubtless
there exists, both here and in all other iron districts,
still a decided upward tendency; but we are not aware
that any formal declaration of more than 203. on the
nominal price of iron will he proposed at the preliminary
meeting to be held at Wolverhainpton on Thursday
next. The result of its deliberations is looked forward
to with some anxiety; but it should be remembered,
as we some time since stated, that to reach even the
prices that would be so declared, a very much larger
advance than 203. (in some cases full 405.) will have
to be obtained, and to anything further we do not
think purchasers would be at all inclined to submit.
In the meantime meetings have been held in the
different localities to arrange the amount of wages to
be given to the various classes of workmen, and the
time from which the advance shall be paid; and we
trust that a better understanding has now been estab-
lished, and that no further interruption will be ex.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN BRIGHTON.--SbOrtly before
two o'clock yesterday morning, a fire was discovered in the
house of Mr. Bickford, jeweller, King's-road. The houses
adjoining being built entirely of wood, and merely faced '
with what are called " mathematical tiles," were soon in a
blaze. Mr. Chase, chief cflicer of the police, and several
other members of the force were speedily on the spot, and
the hose having been attached to the water-plugs the fire
was got under and eventually subdued. The three houses,
however, occupied by Mr. Bickford, Mr. Gay (toyinan), and
Mr. Dixie (optician), with their fragile contents, were des-
troyed, the interior presenting only the appearance of black
and charred rafters and beams.

from eleven o'clock, A.M., for the purpose of receiving depu-
tations from the several commercial bodies, and of meeting
those parties who may wish to wait upon them on public
business. This, it will be remembered, used to be the prac-

GERMAN Y.

The Diet of Darmstadt, which was prorogued on
the Ist July, is summoned to meet on the 29th.
A letter from Berlin, of the 24th, states that the
less elevated state of the temperature has checked the
progress of the cholera in that city. An official re-
port which has been just published there has tended
much to reassure the public mind. Only three
new cases had occurred on the 233. The news
from Posen and Western Prussia was also less
alarming.
The King of PRUSSIA arrived at Hanover on the
24th from Berlin, and, after a short delay, proceeded
on his way to Oldenburg.
The ratifications of the treaty concerning the suc-
cession to the throne of Denmark, of the 3d of May
last, have just been exchanged at Vienna in presence
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the usual
forms.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA passed a grand review
of 40,000 troops on the 22d at Pestb. They con-
sisted of 40 regiments of infantry, 16 of cavalry,
24 batteries of artillery, and several companies of the
reserve. The EMPEROR, who wore the uniform of a
Field-Marshal, was received on his arrival by the
Archduke ALBERT, who commanded the troops. His
MAJEsTy was accompanied by the Hereditary Grand
Duke Of RUSSIA, the Prince Royal Of WURTEMBURG,
the Prince Regent of BADEN, and the Prince Royal
of SAXONY ; and was followed by a numerous staff,
together with a great number of English, Russian,
French, and other foreign officers. The English
Ambassador, the Earl of WESTMORELAND, was in the
uniform of a General, and wore the Cross of Saint
Theresa, which was given to him in 1815. The
filing-off of the troops occupied an hour and a half,
and whilst it was taking place the bands played the
national hymn of Russia.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A sequel, but not quite an equal, to the celebrated Box
and Cox, was produced last evening under the title of
Box and Cox Married and Settled. Mr. Sterling Coyne
is the author. Box and Cox are supposed to have re-
tired from business and got married, and after a separa-
tion of some time, the friends find themselves residing
with their spouses, i❑ their old lodgings at Mrs.
Bouncer's. They form a domestic partfe carree, the har-
mony of which is disturbed by the squabbles of the
ladies, who are not so amicably disposed as their hus-
bands. Mr. Box recognises in Mrs. Cox a fair one with
whom he had been smitten in a railway carriage some
eighteen months before. He had purloined one of her
gloves, in which he had placed a sentimental effusion
addressed to Miss Fanny Hawes. While they are at
tea he attempts to convey this glove to Mrs. Cox under
a muffin; but the muffin falls into the hands of Mr. Cox,
who reads the epistle, and a tragicomic scene of jealous
wrath and contusion ensues. After several other inci-
dents of the most extravagant farce, things are ex-
plained, and harmony is restored among the matrimo-
nial quartett. If there be little plot or incident, and no
striking liveliness nor wit in the dialogue, Keeley and
Buckstone are irresistibly droll, and the audience
laughed consumedly. The farce will have a good run.

A FLASH IN THE PAN.

With reference to a silly statement made respect-
ing this journal, by a Mr. Dobson Collett, at a
meeting held at the League Rooms in Manchester, on
Monday last, to consider the propriety of the repeal
of the taxes on knowledge, we need hardly observe
that the allegations of Mr. Collett are utterly with-
out foundation,--Morning Post of Thursday.
[We wonder bow such papers es the Daily News
and Globe should have given insertion to such a
statement without taking the trouble to inquire into
its correctness. In this instance, at least, the adage
of " Where there 's a will there 's a way "does not
hold : the way Was very short, but the will was a
long way off.—tp,, Sun.]

WE'LL Bt TRUE TO EACH OTHER.
A LOVE LYRIC.
(Froth Eliza Cook's Journal.)
We'll be true to each other, though Fate has now parted
Two spirits that yearn with devotion and love;
We will show the hard vrorld that we both are strong..
hearted,
And the wings of the eagle shall nestle our dove.
They say thou art young, and that I may be fickle,
That Time will tilt down all cur youth-tinted flowers;
L3t U 3 prove that 'lis only old death with his sickle
Can dare to destroy such pare blossoms as ours.
Perhaps it is well that our faith and affection
Is tried by a cold and a lingering test,
But if thou art mine by thy soul's tree election,
We'll be true to each other and hope for the rest.
Let us chafe not unwisely, by rudely defying
The dolbts and denials that echo in vain;
Like the ship in the stream, on her anchor relying,
We'll live on our truth till the tide turns again.
I'll nray for thy welfare, right firm in believing
That knowledge and years will but help thee to see,
That my spirit, to proud for a selfish deceiving,
Is honest and ardent in cherishing thee.
We are parted, but, trust me, it is not for ever,—
We love, and be certtin that love will be blest ;
For we'll work, and well wait, with Love's earnest
endeavour,
Be true to each other, and hope for the rest.

LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1852.

Farmers must make bay while their political sun
shines. We (1,3 not suppose indeed that Lord DERBY
will walk out just when it pleases Lord JOHN to
walk in. Still, in the actual state of parties, no politi-
cal prophet can foretell how soon some other Govern-
ment may supersede the present one. A Ministry of
professed farmers' friends is now in office. A Minis-
try of indsvidulls, each of whom in the long seven
years' war with the League, and afcer their defeat by
it, in a three or four years' war with their con-
querors, fought steadily in the regiment of farmers'
friends. They have fought till they have at least en-
tered, by a sudden panic among their opponents; into
the very stronghold of their enemies. To such firm
and fast friends, friends now victorious and in com-
mand of the very citadel of legislation, the far-
mers are bound to look for something. How is it
they are not moving ? Do they not know what they
want ? Have the burdens on land quite vanished ?
Manufacturers could tell Government and Parliament
boldly enough what they wanted. Public meetings,
petitions, deputations (not always convenient to be re-
ceived by a Prime Minister) could leave no mistake
as to their wishes. Why are the farmers so silent P
Is it confideoce ? Well, but every one of them who
only sees a county paper at the Swan or the Maid's
Head, knows that leaders in Parliament crave above
all things the help of "support without." Our far-
mers then should forthwith hold public meetings,
settle what are the burdens peculiar to land, and a:
mend their removal with irresistible numbers and
energy. Now or never!
Well, then, what are their peculiar burdens ? It is
not their raw material. The land•tax, nominal as it
is, falls not on them; of the tithes the same is true,
they are a deduction only from the original purchase-
money, or inheritance. Agricultural horse-tax they
pay none—nothing for tolls in carting manure.
They are even allowed one horse to ride. Poor-rates
they pay more lightly than most towns, while the
towns relieve them of many of their surplus labourers.
Farmers have, however, peculiar burdens, and now
is the time to press them on the attention of Parlia-
ment. Foremost amongst these we regard the land.
lord's right to distrain fcr rent, and thus to obtain an
unjust preference over other creditors. At present,
low as prices are, there is a severe competition for
farms : obviously there are too many farmers. Till
lately the promise of protection in some shape, has
been the pretext for keeping up rants. Now that i$
