PRUSSIA.

The German Journal of Frankfort contains a
letter from Berlin, of the 18th, which says :—" It
is at present certain that the Prussian Government
sent on the 3d inst. to the German States, a cir-
cular objecting to placing on a war footing part of
the federal contingent as proposed by Austria.
The objections do not constitute the whole of the
contents of the circular. It is affirmed in well-in-
formed circles that Russia will not consent to ac-
cept completely the propositions of M. Drouyn de
l'Huys, bat that she is not, on the other hand,
apprehensive of'seeing the course of negotiations
absolutely closed, and that she is even forming the
plan of endeavouring to open for herself a new
diplomatic theatre on which she will have more
success."

The Posthampt'Gazethe of Frankfort, under date
of Vienna, 17th, says :—" It is stated on good au-
thority that in consequence of the attitude which
has just been assumed by Prussia, the Western
Powers have renounced the idea of demanding a
meeting of the Conference of Vienna, as they fore-
see that the negotiations would not be attended
with any, satisfactory results."
Considerable sensation has been caused at Berlin
by a very simple fact. The King has ordered that
a marble tablet, with an inscription of gold, shall
he placed at the spot where the first soldier fell in
1848 from the fire of the insurgents. This act of
reparatory justice has given rise to some protesta-
tions, not however of a turbulent character, bUt
which have led to several persons being arrested or
summoned to appear before the magistrates.

WIMBLEDON AND CROYDON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at Fondall'a Hotel, Palace•yard—Mr. W. Reed
in the chair.

It appeared from the report that an arrangement had
been entered into with Messrs. Peto and Betts for the
completion of the undertaking, including the land, sta-
tions, works, and all other expenses incidental thereto,
by which the proprietors would be put in possession of
their railway in a fit state fur opening on the 31st of '
March next. Every expense contingent on its comple-
tion would be covered by the amount of the share capi-
tal, till., 45,5001. Forthis sum the proprietors would have
a single line id railway, with all necessary stations and sid-
ings. Tue length of the line was 5i miles, being at the
rate of 8.4001. per mile. The directors had entered into
a conditional arrangement for the purchase of a sufficient
quantity i,f land for a &ible line. A considerable por-
tion of the I and had been purchased, and the works
had been commenced under the contract with Messrs.
Peto and Batts' and there was no room to doubt that
the line would be both' speedily and substantially con-
structed. Every exertion was being made to obtain the
roifo !slim of the land, with a view to shorten any delay
that might otherwise occur in the completion of the rail-
way.
The CHAMMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that the works were proceeding satisfactorily. The
undertaking would soon be in a position to enable them
to make arrangements for working it themselves, or for
leasing it to other parties. The accounts had not been
audited, but would he submitted at the next half-yearly
meeting duly audited. The receipts amounted to
11,7411., and the expenses to 7,0001., on the 30th of
June last, but the expenditure since that date had been
increased, owing to the progress of the works.
The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote of
thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

HAYMARKET TEEAT.RE.

The Spanish Dancers at this most attractive house
varied their entertainment on Monday and last night,
and gave, what is entitled in the hills, a new ballet, 'lke
Gipsy Queen. The scene is supposed to take place at a
fair at Seville, which is always frequented by various
gipsy tribes who amuse the company with their charac-
teristic dances. .
There is no great difference of appearance in the com-
plexion of the troupe, though their dresses are more
strongly contrasted ; and they appear iir the black, red,
and white costume. The dances are more strictly cha-
racteristic and evidently those of the peasant and the
country class. All, however,
,are • animated with that
vivacity and spirit which lends such a charm to the per-
formance.

Senora Pere* Nena is still the tran.cendent leader of
the troupe, and is, of course, .the Gipsy Queen. The
piquancy, coquetry, fancy, and we would almost say,
eloquence, of her dancing, is shown to perfection, and
the enthusiasm of the audience was unbounded. Her
own hilarity and activity are contagious, and even our
sober audience cannot fail to be moved by her endless
frolic and gaiety. Her feet and legs are as much at her
command as the celebrated fan, and with them she ex-
presses a boundless discour,e of caprice and whim,
Senorita Giulio deserves notice for her grace and cle-
verness, and the whole corps was animated with the
exh witless vivacity that belongs to the southern blood,
and to that alone. The billet is divided into two parts,
between which the extremely popular farce of As Like
as Two Peas is played. The fandango in all its native
vigour finishes the ballet performance, and so far from
the frequency of the appearances of this celebrated troupe
diminishing the public interest, it seems on the increase,
for the theatre, notwithstanding the range of the ther-
mometer, was crowded, and the applause more vehement
than ever.

TOWER REGATTA.

The Tower annual regatta came off yesterday. The
assemblage of spectators of varied grades was numerous.
and the shipping and the shores in the neighbourhood
exhibited one mass of living beings. The prizes, sub•
scribed by the officers stationed in the Tower and some
of the residents without, were a new boat for the first
man, 51. for the second, and other minor amounts for
the whole of those who took part in the race, added to
which were bands of music, boats gaily decorated, and
other indications of a grand gala. The race was in four
heats, with six competitors.

SWANSEA DOM.-It is with great pleasure we an-
nounce to our readers that the centre, or great point
stone, of the entrance-gates of these important works
was laid, with some formality, but without public de-
monstration, on Tuesday last, by the Mayor of the town,
G. GraA Francis, Eq., F.S.A., in the presence of the
officials of tie compAiy, the contractor, workmen, and
some of the warmest friends ()film undertaking. About
twelve o'clock, the stone, a noble specinitn from the
Craighleith quarries, Ed•nburgh, weighing seven tons,
was placed in the slings of the goliah, and having been
carefully adjusted, was finally set in its appointed place.
Within a recess his worship placed the various currrent
coins of the realm, which had been expressly obtained
from the Bank of England ; and plans and detailed
statements of the works, of its promoter,, officers, &C.,
were likewise enclosed. The contractor, Mr. J. Picker-
ing, and resident engineer, Mr. Neill, having finally
proved the levels to be correct, the worthy Mayor took
the mallet, and giving the stone the customary three
knocks, declared the foundation stone duly laid ; and
having in a brief speech conatulated the persons pre-
sent on the success with which the works had so far
progressed, and wished them a successful termination,
the party reared, amidst the cheer, o. the workmen. to
dejtuner at the Castile Hotel. The Mayor, we are in-
formed, left a substantial mark of his 703 amonst the
men directly ovgnged On the dock'.

WEST END AND CRYSTAL PALACE.

The third ha.f-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this
company was herd on Monday at the London Tavern ;
Mr. Thomas in the chair. The secretary having read
the report and statement of accounts, both of which
have already appeared in The Sun, the chairman apolo-
gised for the absence of Mr. Geach, chairman of the
company, and said that the report was so full as to
require little or no observation from him. Every-
thing was going on prosperously, contractors were
at work at three stations, and the company had got
possession of the greater portion of the necessary
land. One gentleman had asked 12,000/. for his
land, but the company had obtained it for 4,000/.
Arrangements were in progress with the Westminster
Terminus Company, which he expected would be ♦ery
advantageous. They had got the extension to Farn-
borough, and expected in co-operation with the South-
Eastern to get into Mid-Kent. That company had not
as yet come into their views, but negotiations were in
progress. About 600 men were employed on the works.
The report and accounts were then adopted, and the
proceedings terminated.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

A despatch published in Vienna yesterday, but
without any date or indication of its route, says :
" General Bebutoff has defeated 60,000 Turks near
Kars. Three thousand were killed ; 2,300 soldiers
and 84 officers taken prisoners ; 15 pieces of can-
non,- and the Turkish camp, fell into the hands of
the victors."

We hope this announcement may, like many
others proceeding from Russian sources, prove un-
true, though a defeat of the Turks in Asia is by no
means impossible.

A letter from Trebisond, 30th ult., says :
" Naib Effendi has had a conference with the allies
as t ) the means of attacking An:tpa and Novoros-
sisk. A negotiation with the Porte, relative to the
independence of Circassia, is talked of. It would'
become an independent principality under
Schamyl, and the Circassians would in that case
furnish 50,000 troops. There were at the date of
the last accounts 43,000 Turks with 104 pieces of
cannon at Hadschi Velikroy. At a distance of two
leagues from that place there was a body of 30,000
Russians with 80 pieces of artillery ; but the latter
are stronger in cavalry. The Turks keep on the
defensive."

account for the half-year ending the 30th of June
showed that 112,9821. bad been received on the South
Wales line, and 74,7411. expended, or 66.15 per cent. of
the receipts, leaving a balance of 38,2411. The Forest
of Dean revenue account shows that 2,5161. had been
received during the half-year, and 5261. expended,
leaving a balance of 1,9901. The net revenue of the
two lines amounts to 40,2301. To this is added in the
general revenue account 5,1591. from the preceding
half-year, 1,551/. dividend on Vale of Neath
shares, 321. registration fees, and 19,2501. from the
Great Western Railway Company for the half-
year's fixed rent of the line from Grange to Carmar
then, at 35,500/. per annum,—total, 66,2541. From
this is deducted 2351. rent of offices, &c., 26,4371. interest
on debentures, and 7,8461. assumed amount due to the
Great Western Railway company under the agreement of
29th of March, 1851, leaving a balance of 31,735/. Out
of this sum is deducted 4,6121. for the guaranteed divi-
dend on the 201. shares, leaving 27,122/. This amount
is subject to a deduction of about 15,0001., in respect of
charges estimated as payable for the supply of rolling
stock, and power, &c., prior to the 31st of December,
1853, which had been undercharged in former half-yearly
accounts.

WEST END AND CRYSTAL PALACE.

The third half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this.
company was held on Monday at the London Tavern ;
Mr. Thomas in the chair. The secretary having read
the report and statement of accounts, both of which
have already appeared in The Suss, the chairman apolo-
gised for the absence •of Mr. Geach, chairman of the
-company, and said that the report was so full as to
require little or no observation from him. Every-
thing was going on prosperously, contractors were
at work at three stations, and the company had got
possession of the greater portion of the necessary
-land. One gentleman had asked _ 12,0001. for his
land, but the company had obtained it for 4,0001.
Arrangements were in progress with the Westminster
Terminus Company, which he expected would be very
advantageous. They had got the extension to Farn-
borough, and expected in co-operation with the South-
Eastern to get into Mid-Kent. That company had not
as yet come into their views, but negotiations were in
progress. About 600 men were employed on the works.
The report and accounts were then adopted, and the
proceedings terminated.

PRUSSIA.

The German. Journal of Frankfort contains a
letter from Berlin, of the 18th, which says :—" It
is at present certain that the Prussian Government
sent on the 3d inst. to the German States, a cir-
cular objecting to placing on a war footing part of
the federal contingent as proposed by Austria.
The objections do not constitute the whole of the
contents of the circular. It is affirmed in well-in-
formed circles that Russia will not consent to ac-
cept completely the propositions of M. Drouyn de
but that she is not, on the other hand,
apprehensive of seeing the course of negotiations
absolutely closed, and that she is e,ven forming the
plan of endeavouring to open for herself a new
diplomatic theatre on which she will have more
success."

The Posthampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date
of Vienna, 17th, says :—" It is stated on good au-
thority that iu consequence of the attitude which
has just been assumed by Prussia, the Western
Powers have renounced the idea of demanding a
meeting of the Conference of Vienna, as they fore-
see that the negotiations would not be attended
with any satisfactory results."
Considerable sensation has been caused at Berlin
by a very simple fact. The King has ordered that
a marble tablet, with an inscription of gold, shall
be placed at the spot where the first soldier fell in
1848 from the fire of the insurgents. This act of
reparatory justice has given rise to some protesta-
tions, not however of a turbulent character, but
which have led to several persons being arrested or
summoned to appear before the magistrates.

GENEnAL' BOARD OF REAT,TII—
OF NUISANCES.

The board, finding that Cher:: is a very general want
of information as to the proper way of proceeding fur
the removal of nuisances under the acts relating to that
subject, and being unable from the pressure of corre-
spondence on the office at the present time to give this
information in c-very cact in reply to the many applica-
tions daily made to them, have issued the following
plain directions on the subject for general circulation, as
well as the short recommendations to boards of guar-
dians which follow, and which are a summary of the
more detailed directions contained in the minute of in-
formation as to preventive measures issued by the late
board in June last :

"SHORT BRCO3IMENDATIONS TO GUARDIANS IN TIMES OF

CHOLERAIC DISEASE.

"1. Divide your union amongst committees of the
guardians.

"2. Give your medical officers assistance if you find
they require it.

"73. hired your chief attention to places where epi-
demic diseases most prevail—your medical and relieving
officers know these places.
" 4. Look to the cleansing of roads, streets, and courts ;
and see that surveyors, paving and improvement commis-
sioners, and others, having by law power to cleanse, carry
out their powers. _ _ _

"5. In their default, or when they have no power,
yourselves see to the cleansing of such streets, roads, and
courts.

" 6. Appoint a committee for the receipt of complaints
of nuisances, and see that the proper officer attends to such
complaints, and reports what ho does therein.
" 7. In all cleansing operations, where foul smells may
arise, let disinfectants, such as fresh earth, quick lime,
peat charcoal, chloride of lime, or zinc, be used.
" 8. Filthy houses should be lime-washed.

"9. Direct your medical officers to report to yon any 1
unusual prevalence of bowel complaint and diarrhoea, and
any case of cholera in their respective districts.
10. On the earliest appearance of choleraic disease,
assemble your medical officers, and carry out, as far as may
seem necessary, the minutes of instruction of the General
Board of Health as to preventive measures, dispensaries,
and medical aid, which minutes have already been supplied
to you by that board.
" 11. Make known your arrangements for relief by plain
handbills, freely circulated.
"12. Give warning, by handbills, of the importance of
applying, on the first symptoms of diarrhoea, to your me-
dical officers, for advice and medicine, and that the same
will be given gratuitously.

ITALY. '

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 19th announces
that a treaty for the- reciprocal freedom of the
coasting trade has been just concluded between
England and Sardinia ; and that a treaty of com-
merce has also been concluded between Sardinia
and the Sublime Porte.
The Minister of Finance at Turin has informed
the Clamber of Commerce at Genoa that the Rus-
sian Government has admitted Sardinian subjects
to tile privileges granted to friendly nations as re-
gards the corn sequestrated in the port of Odessa.

WORCESTER AND HEREFORD.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was appointed
to be held at the Queen's Hotel, Birmingham, on Mon-
day, but in consequence of the attendance not being suf-
ficiently numerous to constitute a quorum, it was, after
waiting an hour for the arrival of shareholders, ad-
journed sine die. It transpired in conversation that the
shafts of the tunnel through the Malvern-hills are pro-
gressing, and that in the next session of Parliament it is
intended, if sanctioned by the shareholders of the respec-
tive companies, to ask for powers in conjunction with
the London and North-Western and Midland companies,
to raise means for the completion of the works.
London, England, 1854-08-23

SPAIN.

Advices from Nladrid of the 17th state that M.
Roman Santillan, firmerly Minister of Finance,
has been appointed. Governor of the Bank of San
Fernando.

The Moniteur publishes the following •telegra-
phic despatch :
" 3AYONNE' 21s1.—The disarming has com-
menced at Madrid. Gen. Dulce has taken posses-
sion of the command of Catalonia. With the ex-
ception of the cholera, which is raging rather
badly, the situation of Barcelona is tolerably satis-
factory. A royal order directs the remaining, sur-
veys to be urged on as rapidly as possible for the
line from Madrid to Portugal."
The _Espana says that the price of articles of first
necessity has almost everywhere diminished.

The Clamor Publico mentions that some sensa-
tion had been caused by the arrest of a lady of high
rank, or of an important personage disguised as a
woman, it was not exactly known which.
The Espana states that one of the editors of the
Clamor I' ablico has been appointed Civil Governor
at Segovia, and one of the Tribuno at Gerona.

The Minister of War has ordered arms to be
distributed to the national guard, and, fearing that
there were not sufficient on hand, had obtained
permission from the Council of Ministers to pur-
chase 10,000 muskets in Belgium.
The infantry of General Messina had arrived at
Villaverde, and the cavalry was expected. When
united, the whole division was to attend a religious
ceremony in what the Diarie calls " the glorious
fields of Vicalvaro" to render thanks to the Al-
mighty for the success of the insurrection which
it commenced. Afterwards the division was to
march to Madrid, and was to make a public entry
into the city, headed by General O'Donnell.

General Dulce arrived at Barcelona on the 14th
and was well received. The situation of that place
had greatly improved. "At Cadiz, however,"
says the Espana, " the newspapers are filled with
disgraceful personalities, and the interest of the
country is nothing in their eyes. We cannot con-
ceive how amongst the most enlightened population
of Spain what is printed there can be tolerated—
it resembles downright pugilism. At Malaga
things are perhaps worse than at Cadiz. A faction
has been formed there which keeps under its yoke
the majority of the inhabitants under the pretext
that the Junta and the authorities are not suffi-
ciently strong to cause the law to be respected. At
AlgeBiras smugglers are filling their stores from
Gibraltar. We will not speak of other places ;
these examples will suffice to show that it is of
urgent necessity to put an end to these disorders
if it be desired to prevent incalculable evils from
falling on the country."

being an increase of 91 per cent. over the corresponding
period of last year. To this has to be added 11,4201.,
the amount due from the Post-office for the convey-
ance of mails in 1853, making the total divisible revenue
381,6711. The directors propose that a dividend for
the half-year should be declared on the ordinary stock
and shares in the Berwick capital stock at the rate of
3i per cent. per annum, on the ordinary stock in the
York capital stock at the rate of 21 per cent. per
annum, and on the preference quarter-shares and exten-
sion shares, 1848 (Nos. 1,2, 3), in the Leeds capital
stock at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum.
