RUMOURED LEASE OF THE EDINBURGH AND
GLASGOW RAILWAY.—A correspondent of the Glasgow
Herald refers as follows to a
i rumour which has been cur-
rent for a short time, of an intention on the part of certain
other companies to lease the Edinburgh and Glasgow
line :—A rumour was lately. current that the Edinburgh
and Glasgow line was likely to be leased to the North-
North .
.British
Eastern andßailway Companies,
days from 80 to 87, notwithstanding the
with a guaranteed dividend
of five per cent. in
perpetuity. The favourable light. in which this
ialleciadefnetwon the line, which will, I believe, cost the
apprehended from the late
proposal was viewed was evidenced by the stock
rising in
correct, but also that the
highest dependence, that

Last evening the third of a short series of per-
formances by the wonderful M. Blondin took place
at St. James's Hall, and on the occasion there was
a very full and enthusiastic audience.
M. Blondin's performance was divided into two
parts, the first consisting of evolutions on the
"low," the latter the feats on the " high" rope,
terminating with the thrilling spectacle of the in-
trepid foreigner carrying a man double his own
weight along the rope stretched the entire length
of the hall.

It is almost needless to state that the whole per-
formance created the greatest astonishment ; so,
without going into detail, we may briefly remark
that the extraordinary wooden shoe and stilt dance,
somersaults over lighted candles, and the violin and
drum feat, without the balance-pole, all excited the
most rapturous applause.

The two performances were very agreeably fol-
lowed up with a petite concert, in which Miss Rose
Rersee sung some very pretty songs in a very taste-
ful manner. The splendid band of the Coldstream
Guards was in attendance; and altogether the en-
tertainment was one that afforded the highest satis-
faction.

THE INCREASE OF GAROTTING. —L a t evening a
numerously attended meeting was held at the Queen's
Head Tavern, Amelia-street, Walworth, convened by the
Lambeth Anti- Garotting Association, to adopt measures for
the suppression of this crying evil—Mr. Prothero in the
chair.—The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, read a
number of letters containing offers of co-operation, and sug-
gestions as to protective measures. The chairman then
proceeded to comment on the frightfully insecure state of
the streets at night. He complained very much of the in-
sufficient gas supply; the police were not half numerous
enough, and that being the case he suggested that, as
d wt
to had 20,000 soldiers in barracks, they should be employed
