DUBLIN, Satu
THE ATLANTIC COMPA.
Whether well or ill-founded, it is
pressed upon the minds of the Irish peopleXta t
jt
misfortunes of the Galway line are owing to gi "one
mismanagement, and the charge of mismanagem
ent
is laid openly upon the shoulders of the Engli sh
board of directors', who, it is alleged, arrange mak 4-,
ters in such a way that nothing can go right, ant,
everything must go \Wong. This is the burden of
articles in the Irish 7,,mies,Evening lllail, and other
journals, which contrast ,the success and prosperity
of Irish banks, railways, al; d other steam companies,
under Irish management w it h those of kindred con-
cams under native managoalent in England, in
proof that, if the headquarters LI the Atlantic Com-
pany were in Dublin or Galway,' and not in Liver-
pool, and that the company's mana,gers were lribh
and not English merchants and men of business, all
would go well with the line, end none of the coat-
pany's ships would perform the not vet-) easy feat
of finding out an obscure rock, sufficiently marked
to be avoided when approached in the spacio," BaY
of Galway. What is thought of the Angliaro acci-
dent in the City of the Tribes may be gathered t,"om
the following remarks made on Thursday at a
meeting of the harbour commissioners by l‘f-t •
Tierney, a member of the board. He (Mr.
Tierney) considered it would not be right for the
board to separate without expressing some
opinion relative to the disaster which occurred
to the Anglia. The harbor: commissioners
had done nothing more than ask the Board of
Trade to hold an investigation ii2to the circum-
stances, but Captain Prowse was not satisfied to
wait for the ordinary court of inquiry; he attri-
buted the accident to the want of propor marks and
beacons in the bay. Now, sir, we have g'e't so mtahny
enemies, that to allow such a statemell
h at
wit out
which Captain Prowse made to go forth
immediate and emphatic contradiction, .Wc,.nid be
highly culpable. Thousands of ships come in here,
and none of them found their way to Black? ock
perch until Captain Prowse did. He (Mr. TiertroY)
took some trouble in looking over the chart of We
bay that day, and there is no doubt but the ship wiv.'
not in her proper course. He did not want to im-.
puts anything to Captain Prowse, but he could not
allow it to go forward that the passage to our road-
stead is either difficult or dangerous. He (Captain
Prowse) came into.Galway at different times, both
day and night, yet he never found this dihaeulty
until he hit on it; he would ask what advantage it
would be to him to come up some nine miles; few
hours could be of no great moment; he could re-
main at anchor until daylight ; if he did so, his ship
might be safe and sound. He (Mr. Tierney) would
say a great deal more, but he did not like to advance
statements which he could not vouch for. The pilot
(Mr. Oliver) was out on that night ; he saw the
ship's lights, and signalled her, but perhaps he was
not seen; and after following the vessel in an open.
boat for three miles he had to return through
stress of weather. He must say that the course
pursued by the company is most condemnatory
in not sending their vessels a day or two before
the day of sailing, to take their posts here, and
thereby allow such ample time for the passengers to
embark, instead of hurrying five er six hundred
souls at a few hours' notice on board a vessel to
undergo a long and perilous voyage across the
Atlantic. In conclusion, he had only to hope that
no person would be taken in by the miserable state-
ment of Capt. Prowse. Captain B. Forster said ho
saw the pilot's light from his own house, and saw
her follow the ship. Mr. Tierney said it was evi-
dent the captain did not steer his proper course.
THE CITY OF DUBLIN STEAM PACKET COMPANY.,
The half-yearly meeting of the City of Dublin Steam-
packet Company was held yesterday. A satisfactory report
was presented, recommending the payment of a dividend
of 3 per cent. for the half-year. The principal subject
brought before the shareholders by the directors was the
still unsettled dispute with the Government respecting the
works at Holyhead, and which a committee of the House of
Commons reported upon last year. It appears that, not-
withstanding the recommendations of the committee,
nothing whatever has been done at Holyhead to remove
the just causes of complaint on the part of the company.
The conduct of the Government in the matter is extraordi-
nary and indefensible, as we have already observed; and
we trust that when Parliament again meets the same
power which the House of Commons exerted last session
to extort the appointment of a committee of inquiry will
be employed with equal success in enforcing its report.
THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY AND THE 1864 EXHIBITION.
At the stated general meeting of the Royal Dublin So-
ciety, held on Thursday last, a very important report was
read relative to the exhibition of Irish manufactures, to be
held in Dublin next year. It appears that a considerable
difference existed between the estimates, both as regards the
income and expenditure, of the exhibition committee and
the council of the Royal Dublin Society. The exhibition
committee were perhaps somewhat sanguine and estimated
their probable receipts at £9,829, and their outlay at only
£6,740 ; while the council of the Royal Dublin Society set
down the receipts at £6,282, and the expenditure, reduced
to the lowest figure, at £7,257. The exhibition com-
mittee calculated on a profit of £2,449; the council of
the Royal Dublin Society apprehended a loss of :C975.
Out of the expenditure the council excluded £2,000 for
covering in the Shelbourne yard, and the expenses inci-
dent upon a Fine Arts Exhibition. While the exhibition
committee, encouraged by the great success of the
Fine Arts Exhibition of 1861, desired to add a
similar attraction to the future exhibition, the committee
also found it absolutely necessary to provide a very large
amount of space for the exhibition of Irish-made machinery.
Eventually, however, the council passed a resolution to the
effect that permission be given to roof in Sh lbourne• yard,

effect, though petitions for a new constitution con-
tinued to pour in.
Two days afterwards his Majesty nominated as
his successor to the throne of Denmark, his uncle,
Prince Frederic Ferdinand of Denmark, who was
born in 1792, and was thus 16 years older than the
reigning King; but the death of this prince pre-
vented this intention from being carried out, even
supposing the hereditary law already published had
never been passed.
The King also complied with the wishes of his
subjects by granting the wished-for constitution,
which was announced on the 28th of Tannery, four
days after the issue of the decree above mentioned.
This concession, however, did not prevent the out-
break of disturbances in Copenhagen and in the
duchies. Though the dynasty survived the shock
of insurrection felt Europe in throughout that
eventful year, numerous troubles and discussions
arising out of the disputes concerning
the duchies
since arose, and still continue.

Destructive Fires and Great Loss of
Property.

Fires occurred in various parts of the metropolis
and suburban districts on Saturday night and Sun-
day morning. One fire happened on the premises
of Mr. W. Stoneman, a coffee-shop keeper, No. 80,
Princes-road, Lambeth-walk. The engines soon
attended, and a sufficiency of water being obtained
the firemen were enabled to throw copious streams
upon the flames, and the fire was extinguished, but
not until the lower part of the building was burnt
out and the upper part severely damaged. For-
tunately the sufferer was insured.
A fire, attended with considerable destruction of
property, broke out about 10 o'clock on Saturday
night on the extensive premises in Greek-street,
Soho, in the joint occupation of Messrs. Melly, iron
boiler-maker; Rogers, carver and gilder; and Hol-
loway, laundryman. The whole of the contents of
the three floors were entirely destroyed, and the
stock of Mr. Mally, who occupied the lower por-
tion of the premises, was seriously damaged by
water. The cause of the fire could not be correctly
ascertained.
An alarming fire happened in the premises of Mr.
H. Jackson, No. 11, Myddelton-square, Clerken-
well. When discovered thefire was raging in the
back room of the first floor, and the flames were
rapidly extending. The escapes promptly attended
as well as the engines, and plenty of water having
been procured the firemen got the mastery over the
fire, but the lower part of the building was burnt
out and the upper part much damaged. The loss will
fall upon the Liverpool and London Fire-office.
Another fire took place at the same time in the
premises belonging to Mr. James Beeson, No. 165,
Marylebone-road. The engines as well as the
escapes attended, bat the fire was not extinguished
until considerable damage was done.

17NHEALTHY HOMES IN NORWICH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORFOLK NEWS.

Sir,—The condition of the homes of agricultural labourers
in all parts of England is now the subject of much conside-
ration and discussion, and will probably, ere long, occupy
the attention of the Legislature.
But whilst the state of the homes in rural districts is
greatly to be deplored, there is yet much to be done in this,
the metropolis of the county, to render the city homes any-
thing like decent or healthy.
Those who desire to pass a few hours amongst the dwell-

ings of the poor could not have selected a more fitting day
than last Saturday. The weather was then as cheerless as
the dwellings. The gentle rain had just melted through
the foul coating of Beckham's-yard, St. James's, and the
rottenness of the rickety old tenements was fairly displayed.
I will now endeavour to illustrate the condition of the oc •
cupants of these wretched abodes, the owner of which is as
poor as his tenants.
The first room contained the corpse of an old man, who
had lingered through a long period of suffering, lying in
rotten sacking, in one of the most dismal abodes that can
be imagined.
The next inspected was comfortless, approached by a
dangerous staircase, and on a bundle of rags lay a female
suffering from typhus fever in its worst form. She was
attended by an old woman, who needed almost as much
attention as the patient herself, An urgent appeal was
made to me for some bedding.
In the next room, an old woman lay on a stump bedstead,
with 3d worth of loose straw, which she had purchased, and
without any bedding.
The room on the other side was occupied by a man, bis
wife, and 3 children—the woman being far advanced in
pregnancy. They have only one straw bed, and urgently
appealed for another. One of the children is paralysed, and
another nearly blind.
Another bed-room occupied by a man, his wife, and
daughter aged 17, lying on the floor on dirty rags.
Another occupied by a widow, and her daughter, 20, son,
11, and daughter, 9. These all sleep in one very small bed-
room, the beds nearly touching. The woman cohabits
with a black man, who shares also this room. Some of her
children are colored and some white. A donkey is kept in
a shed under this bed-room.
The next room was occupied by a widow and her son, IS,
and only one bed. The woman earnestly
another. appealed for
Another was occupied by a man and his wife and five
children.
The next was a wretched, dirty, damp, low kitchen,
,ociew-
cupied by a troop of cadgers--amongst whom was the ;
of a celebrated old beggar known as Blueea" and
also a man, his wife, and four children. A dostnkey is kept
in part of an old tenement adjoining. The plaer separa-
and can be seen
ting it from the kitchen is broken
away
through. Here was bred and spread abroad the
.dreaded
typhus. One child died, and some of the family then
migrated to Yarmouth, whither thieliedriisneasethaecrceosmevpaniled
them, and two or three are now s g
.ere y,
whilst the woman mentioned in the first part is suffering at
home in a locality calculated to cause the contagion to
spread.

I might add that a very heavy expense was incurred a
for years since in temporarily putting Beckham's-yard into
a cleanly state, and that there are difficulties with which
the guardians and their officers have to contend, in matters
such as I have described, but where fever of a contagious
nature occurs I believe it to be wise economy to check its
progress regardless of expense.
I think it unnecessary to trouble you with more of dis-
gusting details of the interiors of very many of the homes
in Norwich; but I am thankful that a society is now being
formed, comprising many of the principal inhabitants of the
city, with a view to
improve the dwellings of the industrial
poor.—l am, sir, your very obedient servant,

Bank of Scotland note had been attempted to be passed in
one of the banking establishments of our city, and that a
"tuber of spurious notes of the same kind were thought to
be in circulation. The circumstance out of which the
rumour arose is a very simple one, and we make it publio
with the view of allaying any anxiety that may exist in
regard to the matter. About thirty years ago, the late Mr.
Lizars engraved a bank-note plate for the Bank of Scot-
land, and when almost finished a proof of the engraving
was cast on fine Indian paper, and being a remarkably
clear and distinct copy it was laid aside, to be used on
future occasions in the event of its being found necessary
to retouch the lines on the engraved plate. This proof of
the £1 note was accidently mislaid in Mr. Lizars' office,
and, having fallen into the hands of some one, was put in
circulation. As the plate had not been finished when the
proof was printed, the flaw in the note was discovered, and
it was immediately withdrawn. It will be seen from this
explanation that no apprehension need be felt by the public
as to there being any more of the Same species of notes in
existence.--Scotsman,
