UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

CAMBRIDGE, MAY 27.
At the Congregation on Wednesday next, May 31, the
following grace (among others) will be offered to the
Senate :
On the recommendation of the Press Syndicate, to
authorise the Syndics of the Press to carry on the busi-
ness cf the press by means of a partnership with Mr.
George Seeley, of Fleet-street, London, bookseller, and
Mr. Charles John Clay, M.A., of Trinity College, and
of Bread-street-hill, London, printer; and to settle (under
the advice of counsel) a deed of partnership, which shall
be submitted to the Senate for its approval.
A report from the Syndics, together with " heads of
agreement" which it is proposed to embody in the deed
of partnership, will lie at the Registrary's office for in-
spection of members of the Senate on Saturday, Monday,
and Tuesday, May 27, 29, and 30, between the hours of
11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

It is intended to offer a grace to the Senate for affixing
the seal to the deed of partnership on Monday, July 3.
The University press and its management has for many
years past been the subject of utter astonishment to th ose
who have had the opportunity of seeing the yearly ba-
lance-sheet. A large establishment, involving immense
property, with the presage of the University, has scarcely
paid its expenses. It is to be hoped that the above grace
will be carried, as there can be no doubt the press,' If
properly managed, might be a .source of consider able
emolument to the University.

BELFAST AND BALLYMENA.

The report of the directors states that the traffic re,
ceipts during the half-year ending the 30th of April last
amounted for passengers to 10,5971., for parcels, horses;
&c., to 5221., and for goods, mails, &c., to 8,8961.; total,
20,0151. The working expenses amounted to 8,8961.,
and the interest on loans to 2,7221., leaving a disposable
balance of 8,3631., out of which the directors recommend
a dividend of 20s. per share, which will amount to
7,7001., and an addition of 1851. to the reserve fund,
making it 2,0001. for the year, and leaving 4781. to be
carried forward to the credit of the next half-year. The
increase in the traffic as compared with the correspond.
ing period of last year amounted to 3,1571., or 181 per
cent. The amount at the credit of the reserve fund is
now 10,2161. The extension lines from Ballymena to
Coleraine to Portrush, and from Randa,lstown and
Cookstown, are in progress. It appears from the bal-
ance sheet that the expenditure on the main line amounts
to 516,6591., and on the Cookstown extension to 4,8811.
together 521,5401. The receipts on shares and loans
amount to 493,2081., leaving 28,3321. due to the bankers
on capital account. Appended to the report is a list
of the shareholders, from which it appears there are,
including the board of 16 directors, 269 shareholders,
holding on the average paid-up capital of about
1,4001. each. Out of the 269 shareholders, it ap-
pears, by a distinguishing mark placed against the
names in the list, that there are 127 shareholders, includ-
ing the present board, who are eligible to be elected
directors. This is one of the very few railway companies
who publish a list of the shareholders with each half-
yearly report. The dividend for the past year amounts
to 41. 4s. per cent.

very little is doing. Cakes move off steadily, on former

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK.
A special meeting of this company was held at York
on Saturday, Mr. James Pulleine in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been called in
order that two bills now before Parliament should be
submitted to the shareholders, in compliance with the
standing orders of the House of Lords. The first bill
which he should submit was one which enabled this
company to purchase the land upon which the Pontop
and South Shields Railway had been formed ; and,
having explained the provisions of the bill, he moved a
resolution approving it, which was seconded by the Lord
Mayor of York, and unanimously carried.
The CHAIRMAN said the next bill was to enable the
company to construct docks at Jarrow Slake and a
branch railway thereto, and to enable the Dean and
Chapter of Durham to appropriate 5,000/. of the pur-
chase-money of some land for the endowment of a
church. The quantity of land required was 140 acres,
and the profitable sum to be expended was 300,0001.
, a sum that would soon be saved by the proposed altera-
tions. Having explained the operation of the various
clauses, the chairman moved the approval of the bill,
which was seconded by Mr. Hunter, and adopted.

YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND.
A special meeting of this company was held at York
on Saturday.
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. H. Thompson) said the bill which
he had to submit was one in which their company was
not directly interested. It was to incorporate a com-
pany for making a railway from near the Picton station,
on the Leeds Northern line, to near the Grosmont sta-
tion, on Whitby and Pickering branch. The clauses
which affected their company might be called protective
and permissive. With reference to the operation of the
new company, it was clear it would tend to improve the
Whitby district, by giving access to large beds of iron-
stone, and render that town a more popular watering-
place. He concluded by moving the approval of the
bill, which was seconded by Mr. Seymour, and carried.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings. -

LEEDS NORTHERN.
A special meeting of this company was held at Leeds
on Saturday, to consider the North Yorkshire and
Cleveland Railway Bill now before Parliament, and to
sanction the application of the capital of the company to
the proposed undertaking to the extent of 30,0001. Mr.
J. Kitson presided, and, after referring to the advantages
likely to accrue to the Leeds Northern shareholders
from the construction of the proposed line, by the open-
ing out of the iron district of Cleveland, he proposed a
resolution approving the bill, which was seconded by
Mr. Durham, and carried unanimously.

FRANCE.

The Moniteur announces as follows the signing
of a protocol by the Conference of Vienna :
" The representatives of France, England, Aus-
tria, and Prussia, assembled in Conference, have
signed at Vienna a new protocol destined to unite the
Anglo-French convention and the Austro-Prussian
treaty to the engagements entered into in the pro-
tocol of the 9th of April."
The Sentinelle of Toulon states that it is in
contemplation to form a fifth division for the
army of the East, to be composed of the 21st, 28th,
and 42d regiments of the line, the 23d light
infantry, and 14th foot-chasseurs. The same
journal adds that almost all the officers of the
marine-artillery composing the staff of the coma
panies, expected from Loript and Brest, to .be
sent to Gallipoli, have arrived at Toulon, and
are to sail immediately for their destination.
The Fleurus and the Navarin, screw-line-of-
battle-ships, are to be immediately fitted out for
active service.

The Moniteur of yesterday contains a report to
the Emperor, from M. Bineau, Minister of Finance,
announcing the complete success of the late loan.
This happy experiment is not only valuable as a
proof of the sound condition of the public credit,
but, in the present disturbed state of the world,
becomes of real political importance. A sixth part
of the subscription only was payable ae this period,
but up to the present time the half of the subscrip-
tions has already been paid up. The subscribers
derive a benefit of 5 per cent. from the trans-
action.
The Three per Cents. opened on Saturday at 69f.
90c., rose to 70f. 70c., and closed 70f. 10c., for the
end of the month ;, the Four-and-a-Half per Cents.

COWES CASTLE.-It is reported that the application of
the members of the Royal Yacht Squadron for Cowes
Castle for a club-house has not been attended with suc-
cess. It is to be reserved for the residence of one of

risked life and limb in his country's cause another

SEVEN PERSONS DROWNED.—On Sunday morning, as
a party, consisting of two women and fifteen men were
returning from Lymington to the Government works at
Sconce, in a small half decked boat (formerly the pleasure
boat of J. P. Mew, Esq., of Newport), they by some
means upset it, and the two women and five the men
were drowned ; toe rest were saved by a boat from a
brig lying off " Jack in the Basket," the captain of
which noticed the boat pass, but sown afterwards missed
her, and remarked how fast she must have ran to be out
of sight so soon. The day was fine, and there was but
little wind. Directly afterwards he noticed something
in the water, and, with the assistance of his glass, disco-
vered that it was the men. He pushed off the boat, and
succeeded in picking up twelve of the men and one
woman, but the latter and two of the men were dead.

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETII, fixed without springs,
wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
sue teeth ever before used. This method does not requ re the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp .irt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
end mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in m‘s-
tication.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 16, 1854.

reigns, between their peoples, between their
Governments. " Their power is only limited by
their indecision." But—the anonymous pamph-
leteer wrote in 1834, when his argument ap-
peared---
"But in England, it may be said, even though our
Government feels its position, that of France may not.
We answer, it is wholly impossible for the French Go-
vernment not to follow the impulse of that of England.
The Administrations in Frarce, that suffered England
alone to bridle Russia, would not exist an hour.
Besides, the Government of France holds by many ties
to that of England. France, if we act, must and will
support us."

And so—literally almost--it has come to pass.
France and England are united in defence of the
SULTAN, and in opposition to the AUTOCRAT. Only
France, instead of waiting for England to set her
the example, has acted somewhat more chival-
rously than could have been well anticipated in
1834. She has been one step in advance of her
ally throughout. She may be said in a great
measure to have taken the initiative in this bold
policy aggressive to barbarism, defensive of civi-
lisation. Enough, however, has been remarked,
we coucei ve, to justify our reference in this man-
ner to the startling pages penned by this pro-
vokingly anonymous and marvellously prophetic
pamphleteer.

It will be seen that the second reading of the
Excise Duties Bill was carried last night by a
majority of 108, the numbers being 303 to 195.
This settles the question of the Malt Tax.
