RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

NORTH BRITISH.

The directors in their report express regret that
the increase in traffic rcceiptsfor the past half-year,
although consider able in amount, ban not kept pace
with the increased mileage of railway opened or
trains run. The gross traffic receipts for the half-
year ending the 31st of January last amounted to
£134,105 for passengers and.to £174,196 for goods ;
total,
£308,303, on 4101 miles of railway, against
£286,134, on 3451 miles for the corresponding half
of the preceding year, showing an increase of
£22,169 in the receipts and of 651, in the length of
line open for traffic. They state that several inci-
dental causes have conduced to this result. Not
only have shipping and trading business been un-
usually dull, but the potato and grain crops on
which depends a very large and regular traffic on
the railway, have been extremely unproductive,
quality and quantity being equally deficient. In
addition to these drawbacks, the abstraction of pas-
sengers caused by the International Exhibition has
in 1862, as in 1851, injuriously affected the returns
of the Northern railways, particularly the North
British, which during the summer months affords
so much attraction to tourists. The revenue, after
defraying all preference and debenture charges,
and adding £902, the balance from the
previous half-year, and £927 ac•ruing to
the company as shareholders in the Border
Union Railway, gives a surplus of £12,412
for dividend on the ordinary stocks, out of which
it is recommended that a dividend at the rate of 15s.
per cent. per annum be paid on the North British
consolidated stock, and at the rate of ss. per cent.
per annum on the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee
consolidated stock, leaving a balance of £561 to the
credit of the next account. The net balance of
Border Union revenue, after payment of working
expenses and other charges, including interest on
borrowed capital expended on works completed,
amounts to £1,164, of which £237 belongs to the
owners of £100,760. Border Union ordinary shares,
not held by the North British Company. This sum,
with the addition of £lO4 from the preceding half-
year, will enable the shareholders to declare a divi-
dend on that stock at the rate of one-half per cent.
pei annum, leaving £B9. The capital account to
the 31st of January shows that £9,344,218 had been
received and £9,109,120 expended, leaving a balance
of £235,098. The revenue account for the half•year
shows that £299,248 had been received and £164,989
expended, leaving a balance of £134,259.

TEE LATE COURT SCANDAL,

The London correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian writes :

" I see the Duke of Wellington, in to-day's Daily
Telegraph, curtly informs the editor that when he
presented Mr. Samuel Tillett at the Prince of
Wales's levee, he had no knowledge that his protege
was only at ,arge by value of a ticket-of-leave. 1L
hardly needed two leading articles to elicit such a
denial. What the public want to know is how the
Duke came into such intimate relations with a
gentleman of Mr. S. Tillett's antecedents. The
facts, as I am informed, are in no way discreditable
to the Duke, or difficult of explanation, and I
think it a pity they are not generally known.
Mr. Tillett, though sentenced to seven years'
penal servitude, was released, I believe, after
less than two years' actual imprisonment, on
the certificate or report of the medical officer and
chapla;n (and probably the governor) of the prison
when he was undergoing his sentence, that he was
threatened with paralysis, which only restoration
to liberty could avert. Let free on this ground,
Mr. Tillett established himself at Bayswater, be-
came rather a prominent person in parochial and
charitable matters in his new residence, and finally
got a situation as superintendent in connection with
the Australian department at the international Ex-
hibition. In this capacity he became known to the
Duke during his visitento the Exhibition, making
himself useful to his Grace and his friends, and
generally ingratiating himself so far as to ven-
ture on the strength of the acquaintanceship
thus established: to ask the Duke to pre-
sent him. Of course, the Duke never
dreamed of his pleasant, well-informed, smooth-
spoken, well-mannered Exhibition acquaintance
and cicerone being a ticket-of leave. Requests for
presentations are not matters so studiously inquired
attended
onndoewd
by a
daysasm
as they
unitswereheyas they
when the levees were
now number
hundreds; and the Duke, good-naturedly, if some-
what carelessly, consented to do what he was asked.
We may be certain he will not be so easy in future.

SUPPLY

On the motion that the report be received,
Sir J. FE RGU S SON remarked that when the army esti-
mates were brought up, the right hon. gentleman (Sir G.
C. Lewis) had stated that there were but 40,000 bayonets in
the country for the defence of the whole kingdom. The
embodied militia, yeomanry, and volunteers naturally felt
that that remark was a sort of slur upon their efficiency.
Sir G. C. LEWIS that be had said—but, ii he had not,
he meant to have said—that he was only referring to the
regular army. He was sure the house would acquit him of
any intentional disrespect to those most useful bodies of
men. (Hear.)

POLYGRAPHIC HALL.

MR. HENRY DRAYTON'S ENTERTAINNIENT.
Under the title of " Federals and Confederates"
I very apropos and attractive entertainment has
been launched at the above hall, by Mr. Henry
Drayton, one of our best dramatic baritones, as well
as English lyric comedians. By means of the usual
triad—song, picture, and description—Mr. Drayton
puts before us a very vivid notion of his recent visit
to the United States, from his lauding at New York
to his departure from New Orleans. Abstaining
with great propriety from any party opinions upon
the struggle, he lets the facts speak for themselves,
and they are certainly sufficiently confirmatory of
the general impressions held in England. Apart
from its public references, his entertainment has no
,mall merit in a purely social point of view, and
he himself, no little qualification, as its exponent.
His Yankee and negt o sketches are full of force and
Tumour, and secure the great desideratum of a
frequent and hearty roar of laughter. His singing,
it will be supposed, is not the least attraction of the
evening ; and out of various excellent songs—com-
posed by himself and Mr. Russell—his delivery of
the Southern war-song to the tune of " Dixey's
Lend"—is in itself a feature of the eight, which
makes this entertainment worth a visit. We can
heartily recommend it to our readers of all classes.

There is an increase of £1,208 in the traffic receipts
13,,,f the Brighton, and of £1,212 on the South Eastern
for the past week.

At the first half-yearly meeting to-day of the
Indian Carrying Company, Sir Macdonald Stephen-
N in the chair, the report of the directors states
that in the several presidencies and cities branches
14vs been opened, and negotiations for the transfer
°f the carrying business of the Great Indian Penin-
sula Railway were being arranged. The Madras
1.'44 Coach Company have already ceded their
eeriness to this company.
A meeting of the proprietors of the Commercial
Bank of London was held to-day, Mr. Jackson in
the chair. The following report was submitted to
the proprietors:—
" The directors have now to place before the shareholders
the results, as shown by the annexel statement, of their
efforts to wind up and bring the affairs of the bank to a
close; and they need hardly say that the task has been,
and still is, a most anxious and arduous one. At the date
of the transfer of the business of the Commercial Bank of
Loudon to the London and Westminster Bank, the banking
liabilities were £1,052,500, and to the shareholders£3oo,ooo;
total, £1,352,500. The liabilities have been reduced up-
wards of £1,000,000, and are now only £33,000; and the
eaPital of £300,000 is now £150,500; total, £183,500.
Peaking broadly, it may be said that the banking liabilities
"ere paid off, and one .half of the capital returned, within a
few months of the business having been transferred, and
this under such adverse circumstances as must always at-
tend a sudden winding up of loan and discount transac-
il°tls. The liabilities of the Bank being now reduced, as
stated above, to £33,000, against which there are assets to
the extent of £39,000, the proprietors are practically re-
leased from all outside obligations ; the balance of this
amount, and the mortgages on land and property, consti-
tute the source from whence they are to 13ok for thereturn
of the remainder of their capital. This property the direc-
tors expected ere this to have sold; bat the negotiation not
having terminated in so desirable a result, the affairs of the
Lank have now reached a point beyond which they feel
!hey ought not to proceed without further consultation with
the shareholders."
London, England, 1863-03-24

HORSE DUTY.

Mr. HUNT asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether,
in consequence of the small number of horses kept for hire
in some parts of the country, and the difficulty expe
rienced by the county constabularly in obtaining horses
on hire from licensed persons, the Government
would consider the propriety of recommending to Parlia-
ment to exempt from duty horses hired for police service,
on the same principle on which an exemption was now
allowed by law in the case of horses hired to convey pri•
soners to gaol 19 . _

Mr. PEEL replied that it was not desirable to multiply
exemptions. The licensed persons paid a high duty, and
there was no necessity, at the present moment; to inter-
fere with their trade.

EAST INDIA (REUNION).
Mr. CAVE moved for copy of any communication from
her Majesty's consul at Reunion, respecting the condition
of Natives of British India held to labour in that island.

Mr. LAYARD explained that the attention of th;bo-
vernment was directed to the subject, and they would do all
in their power to protect the natives from being held in un-
willing slavery.
After a short discussion, in which Sir M. Farquhar, Sir
J. Elphinstone, and Mr. H. Seymour took part, the motion
was withdrawn.

prove a s acceptable to the public as the two attractive volumes
to which it forms an appropriate and beautiful sequel."—

HEAVEN OUR HOME.—" This volume, to which the author
has not thought proper to attach his name, must be welcomed
with especial gratiflcaton by those who look forward to that
heavenly home which he so wor drously and delightfully
pourtrays. It proves, in a manlier as beautiful as it is con-
vincing, the doctrine of the • Recognition of Friends in
Heaven.' It demonstrates the interest those in Heaven
feel in earth,' and proves with remarkab,e clearness that such
an interest exists, not only with the Almighty and the
angels, but also among the spirits of departed friends."

MEET FOR HEAVEN.—" We are not the least surprised at

we never heard before. Matter comes at command ; words
flow with unstudied ease; the pages a, c full of life, light,

Christian critic pronounces free from affectation, and the man
of taste, averse to evangelical religion, admits to be exempt
from 'cant.' "—London Patriot.

ESCAPE OF CONVICTS FROM THE PENITENTIARY —Ex-
TRAORDINARY DISCLOSURE.—Richard Petts, a middle-
aged man, of wan and haggard appearance, was placed at
the bar, before Mr. Salle, charged with feloniously effecting
his escape from the penitentiary prison at Milbank.
James Stockwell, principal warder at the prison, said—
The prisoner is well known to me. He was a convict con-
fined in the Milbank prison up to the 26th of last May.
He was then undergoing a sentence of eight years' penal
servitude.
Mr. Selfe—When was he committed

Witness—He was committed on the 21st of September,
1861, from the Lambeth Police-court, and tried at the Cen-
tral Criminal Court on the 21st of October. Ha was re-
ceived at the prison on the 13th December.
Mr. Selfe—When did he make his escape ?
Witness—He escaped with two others on the 26th May.

Robert Pother, 98 M—From information I received from
108 M, we took the prisoner at Barnet on Saturday night. I
had received ray instructions from Inspector Richards,
of the F division. When I took the prisoner I asked him if
he had anything to say to the charge of breaking out of th e
prison, when he said if he had anything to explain he
would say it before the magistrate.
Daniel Blake, 108 M—From information I received
about this escaped prisoner I communicated with my su-
perintendent. I knew where the prisoner was, but kept
out of view, for if he had seen me he would have been off
directly.
Mr. Selfe—You knew him.

Witness—l apprehended hlm once before when his
ticket-of-leavewas revoked. I have been looking after him
for months.

Inspector Richards said he would not occupy time, as he
had no further evidence to offer.

Mr. Selfe—Stockwell, have you got this man's commit-
ment.

Mr. M. GIBSO N said that he would take care to have
the bill reprinted with the amendments before the third
reading.
The clause was then agreed to.
On clause 7,

Mr. BLACKBURN moved an amendment to the effect
that no telegraph wire should be placed under any street or
road except with the consent of the local authorities.
Mr. M. GIBSON said the provision under the clause was
similar to that contained in the general act regarding pub-
lic works.

Mr. HENLEY did not wish that a corporation, where it
existed, nor the trustees of a turnpike road, should have
the absoluta power of stopping the telegraph; but he
thought they should be heard. He should therefore sup-
port the amendment.
Lord A. CHURCHILL supported the clause.
Mr. M. GIBSON could not give his consent to the
amendment.

A short discussion ensued, in which Mr. Blackburn, Mr.
Henley, Sir J. Shelley, and Lord A. Churchill took part.
Lord HOTHAM said that powers had been given to tele-
graph companies which ought not to have been ever granted
to them. (Hear, hear.) He had been on a committee last
year which refused powers to a telegraph company, but
another committee which sat subsequently granted to
another company the very powers which his committee had
refused to the company whose bill came before them.
Mr. R. MILLS said that he was the chairman of the se-
cond committee, and he should say that they had delibe-
rately granted those powers. They were not surreptitiously
obtained.

Mr. BLACKBURN said that he was is the hands of
the committee.

The committee then divided. The numbers were—
For the amendment
Against it
Majority
The clause was then agreed to.

On clause 8, relative to the notice to be given to public
bodies for laying down wires underneath public roads,
some discussion ensued.

Mr. DALGLISH moved that the notice should be ex-
tended from 14 to 28 days.

Mr. M. GIBSON accepted the amendment, and the
clause in that shape was agreed to.

Clauses up to 12 were then agreed to, when,
On the motion of Mr. MACKIE,
The Chstirman was ordered to report progress and the
house resumed.

VACCINATION (IRELAND) BILL.

Sir R. PEEL moved the second reading of this bill,
which ho said was framed to meet points in which the bill
of 1851 had failed. The bill assimilated the law in Ireland
to that of England in making vaccination compulsory.
The whole expense to the 163 unions in Ireland would not
exceed £3 16s. Bd, each,

After some discussion the debate on the motion was
adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A PROFESSOR OF MUSIC.
—Susan Slade, a servant, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
with the following unprovoked assault on Mr. Edward
Graham, a professor of music, residing at 32, Berwick-
street, Soho.
From the evidence of Mr. Graham it appeared that
shortly before 12 the previous night he was walking along
Coventry-street on his way home, when the defendant,
without a word passing on either side, deliberately struck
him a violent blow in his mouth, deluging him with blood,
He then gave the defendant in charge.
Defendant said it was not her that struck the gentleman.
Mickleborough, 307 A, said that several persons who wit-
nessed the assault promised to attend, but were not now
present.
Mr. Graham said that as he felt no pain now he did not
wish to press the charge.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was very kind of Mr. Graham, but
it was impossible to overlook such things. as the public
were in danger from such persons, and if persons acted like
savages they must be punished.

The defendant was then fined 20s. or 7 days.
ASSAULT WITH INTENT, &C.—John M'Donald, of 2,
Pugh's-place, Carnaby -street, tailor, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Eliza Bitmead, ten years of
age, with intent, &o.
The evidence of the little girl, which showed that she had
been assaulted, having been taken, the mother of the child,
a woman in a very delicate state of health, said that her
daughter had been living for a fortnight with the prisoner
and his wife as servant, and that on Sunday last she in-
formed her bow she had been used by the prisoner.

Sergeant Smith, 1 C. who took the prisoner into custody,
said that the child had been examined by Dr. Tathill, the
divisional surgeon, who said the child had been assaulted.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should send the prisoner for trial,
but remand him that the case might be completed.

AN EFFECTUAL REMEDY.-LAMBERT'S
ASTHMATIC BALSAM, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving
coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient con-
sumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty
pronounce incurabie, admirablyallays the tickling which pro-
vokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption its
effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even
lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief in
a few minutes after taking it. Prepared only and sold by
W. LAMBERT, Chemist, S, King William-street, Charing—
cross, London, and by all druggists, in bottles, 13id., and

dress is engraved on the stamp.

INCOME TAX.

Mr. HUBBARD rose to move, as affirming the prin-
ciple of an income tax, that the incidence of an
income tax touching the products of invested
property should fall upon net income, and that the net
amounts of industrial earnings should, previous to assess-
ment, be subject to such an abatement as may equitably
adjust the burthen thrown upon intelligence and skill as
compared with property.

A UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

These fair novices then looked all down the river,
and could just discern two whitish streaks on the
water, one on each side the little fairy isle; and a
great black patch on the Berkshire bank. The
threatening streaks were the two racing boats ; the
black patch was about a hundred Cambridge and
Oxford men, ready to run and hallo with the boats
all the way, or at least till the last puff of wind
should be run plus halloed out of their young bodies.
Others less fleet and enduring, but equally cla-
morous, stood in knots at various distances, ripe
for a shorter yell and run when the boats should
come up to them. Of the natives and country
visitors, those who were not nailed down by boun-
teous Fate, ebbed and flowed up and down the
bank with no settled idea, but of getting in the
way as much as possible, and of getting knocked into
the Thames as little as might be. There was a
long uneasy suspense. At last a puff of smoke issued
from a pistol down at the island; two oars seemed
to splash in the water from each white streak; and
the black was moving; so were the threatening
streaks. Presently was heard a faint, continuous,
distant murmur, and the streaks began to get larger
and larger, and the eight splashing oars looked four
instead of two. Every head was now turned down
the river. Groups hung craning over it like nod-
ding bulrushes. Next the runners were swelled by
the stragglers they picked up, so were their
plashing oars and roar-
ing lungs. Now the colours of the racing
voices, and on came the
Jerseys peeped distinct. The oarsmen's heads
and bodies came swinging back like one, and the
oars seemed to lash the water savagely, like a con-
nected row of swords, and the spray squirted at each
vicious stroke, The boats leaped and darted side by
side, and looking at them in front, nobody could say
which was ahead. Ou they came nearer and nearer,
with hundreds of voices vociferating. "Go it
Cambridge !" " Well pulled Oxford " You are
gaining, hurrah !" " Weil pulled Trinity !" " Hur-
rah !" " Oxford !" " Carnbridge!" "Now is your
time Hardie, pick her up!" " Oh, well pulled, six!"
" Well pulled, stroke!" " Up, up, lift her a bit !"
"Cambridge !" " Oxford !" " Hurrah !" At this
Julia turned red and pale by turns. " Oh, mamma !"
said she, clasping her hands and colouring high,
" would it be very wrong if I was to pray for Ox-
ford " Very Hard Cash," in,
" All the Year Round." Thin day.

POLYGRAPHIC HALL.

MR. HENRY DRAYTON'S ENTERTAINNIENT.
Under the title of " Federals and Confeeierates"
a very apropos and attractive entertainment has
been launched at the above hall, by Mr. Henry
Drayton, one of our best dramatic baritones, as well
as English lyric comedians. By means of the usual
triad—song, picture, and description—Mr. Drayton
puts before us a very vivid notion of his recent visit
to the United States, from his landing at New York
to his departure from New Orleans. Abstaining
with great propriety from any party opinions upon
the struggle, he lets the facts speak for themselves,
and they are certainly sufficiently confirmatory of
the general impressions held in England. Apart
from its public references, his entertainment has no
,mall merit in a purely social point of view, and
he himself, no little qualification, as its exponent.
His Yankee and negt o sketches are full of force and
humour, and secure the great desideratum of a
frequent and hearty roar of laughter. His singing,
it will be supposed, is not the least attraction of the
evening; and out of various excellent songs—com-
posed by himself and Mr. Russell—his delivery of
the Southern war-song to the tune of " Dixey'b
Lund"—is in itself a feature of the night, which
makes thin. entertainment worth a visit. We can
heartily recommend it to our readers of all classes.
