LONDON. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1849.

The present is a busy and an anxious period for the
railway interest throughout the entire country. The
general half-yearly meetings of the several companies
have been or are about to be held, statements as to
the position and prospects of the different lines sub.
mitted to the shareholders, and, what is perhaps most
eagerly desired, dividends declared from the profits
that have been actually realised for the first six months
of the present year. the various reductions of ex-
penditure are explained, and dwelt on with a pardon-
able complacency by boards of directors, as affording
some consolation for diminished profits and abridged
dividends. The nature of the traffic, and the reason-
able expectations of its speedy increase, afford ample
grounds on which to expatiate, and from which the hope
of a " good day coming " may be collected. Every matter
on which the shareholders may desire information is
expatiated on, and if the report, or the opening speech
of the chairman, should not be considered sufficiently
explicit, there are parties ready to answer any inter-
rogatories and to submit to a searching cross-exami-
nation by any shareholder. Full advantage has been
taken of the opportunities thus afforded, and a vast
quantity of additional information is placed before
the public in consequence of the recent meetings.

The transactions of the Great Western and South-
Western Railways, the two great trunk lines pro-
ceeding to the westward, and having metropolitan
termini, may be considered of importance, second only
to those of the leviathan company—the London and
North-Western. The rivals of the broad and narrow
gauge had to render accounts of their proceedings,
and to offer reduced dividends Jo
,their pro-
prietors; the prospects, however, are not altogether
gloomy, and notwithstanding the falling off of divi-
dend so painfully perceptible to every shareholder,
some cheering anticipations for the future were ob-
tained. The prices of both Companies' stock have, in
fact, improved, notwithstanding the reduction ; and
stronger evidence could not be afforded of the conti-
nued confidence of the public in the integrity of the
management, and of their belief that the worst has
already been encountered, and that no further misfor-
tunes are to be dreaded. The directors are not likely
to enter into expensive Parliamentary contracts, or
rashly to assume new liabilities. A perpetual peace
has been proclaimed between the gauges ; and
although the former wars have entailed heavy bur-
dens upon the present proprietors, it is well to know
the evils that are to be encountered, and to be assured
that nothing of a similar class is henceforward to be
provided for.
The dividend of the Great Western Company for
the half-year, ending the 30th of June, is declared to
be after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. This is,
indeed, a sad falling off, when it is considered that 8
per cent. was the usual dividend
,until within the last
few 3, ears, and that nothing below 6 per cent. has
ever been announced. The reasons for the change
were, however, sufficiently cogent to command the
unanimous assent of the shareholders. It was, indeed,
a painful, although a judicious step, and one by which
the permanent welfare and prosperity of the company
will be materially promoted. The unnecessary ex-
penditure that took place in more prosperous times on
branch
lines, that have been either abandoned or are
no longer in progress, has been written off, and
the interest of the sums so lost, and also the subscrip-
tion not at
s to other compani-s
presentholders have for the
revenue of , paying any
dividend cr interest to their share
first time been charged to the the current
half-year, in place of to capital, as w,s formerly
profits the
case. Were it not for this alteration, the netof r
would have justified a dividend at the rate
cent. per annum, with a small balance over. per
adoption of a course, on the propriety and expediency
of which there can be no second opinion, only enabled
them to recommend a dividend at the rate of 4 per
cent. per annum ; after payment of which a surplus
of 18,0201. 9s. 10d. will remain unappropriated, ap-
plicable to future dividends or to such other purposes
as may be required. The directors deserve credit for
having regarded the real interest of their constituents
by stopping " any increasing burden upon the future

receipts of the company," and also for providing for a
reserved fund, gradually to meet engagements or to
extinguish unproductive capital.
Two other circumstances must be briefly noticed.
The lease for working the Bristol and Exeter line
having expired on the 30th of April last, no complete
analysis of the traffic for the half- year could be made
by way of comparison with that of former periods.
The gross revenue earned by Great Western lines
exclusively during the first six months of the present
year has increased by 13,0001. over the corresponding
period of 1848. In the expenditure there has been a
reduction of 29,4004 from the corresponding period
of 1848, and of 15,4001. from-the last half-year.
In the South-Western Company the dividend
declared is after the rate of 31 per cent. per
annum. There has been an increase of net revenue
on the half-year of 37,2511., but there is an addi•
tional amount of capital entitled to dividend of no
less than 2,814,0331. This great increase is the real
cause of the reduction of the dividend that has just
been announced, and not any falling off of revenue or
increase of expenditure. Like the Great Western
Company, the revenue is now for the first time
chargeable with the interest of a large unproductive
expenditure. No further charge can, however, be
made. After the present month there will not be a
single new line or branch in progress ; artd the
directors have given a solemen pledge that "no
further engagements in relation to the lines suspended
or not commenced will be entered into until the
matter shall have been again formally submitted to
the reconsideration of the proprietors specially con-
vened for that purpose, and until the whole of
the shareholders shall have an opportunity
of recording their votes, and a decided majority shall
have determined in favour of the prosecution of the
undertaking."
Under such circumstances there is every reason to
join in the favourable anticipations of the directors,
" that from this period the affairs of the company will
progressively mend," and "that at no future period
will they be in a state of such depression as at present."

The anniversary of NAPOLEON'S birth has passed
by almost unnoticed, yet since the EMPEROR last
received congratulations at the Tuileries, no fifteenth
of August has witnessed the BONAPXRTE family in
such fortunate circumstances as this last one. Even
a year ago, although Louis Finial-re had ceased to
reign, it was a matter of doubt whether the heir of
the once Imperial family might be admitted into
Republican France. Conscious, however, of the
strength of the Republican spirit which animated her,
France welcomed back the exile. She welcomed
with joyful enthusiasm the nephew of BONA-
PARTE, not the heir of the EMPEROR. As such—as
the representative of that BONAPARTE who had con-
solidated the triumphs of the first revolution—NAro-
LEoN-Louis received almost unparalleled proofs of
popular favour. He was chosen by acclamation the
first guardian of the popular rights. He was
chosen that the magic of his glorious name
might give strength and stability to the young Re-
public. The Citizen BONAPARTE responded to the
call ; he became the first PRESIDENT of the French
Republic. That election was a beautiful commemo
ration of the nation's gratitude to her great be.
nefactor.

" Le peuple encore le revere,
Oui, le revere."
That election placed Louis NAPOLEON in a proud
position—the Chief of one of the chief nations of the
earth, chosen by the unanimous voice of a great
people. It is a position prouder than that to which
Prince Louis once aspired, when in his infancy he
was considered as Neroixox's heir. It is a position
second only to that which will immortalize for ever
the name of NAromiox-Louis, when at the expira-
tion of his Presidentship he shall resign into the
hands of the people the power they so reliantly en-
trusted to him. Then, indeed, he will hold a position
which the best among us may be forgiven for envying.
No longer shall the " CINCINNATUS of the West"
have

" Bequeathed the name of Washington
To make men blush there was but onei"
for the glory of WASHINGTON will be eclipsed by
LOUIS NAPOLEON, inasmuch as in his case the
temptation is greater and the opportunity more se-
ductive. But the temptation will be resisted May
we not dare to prophecy as much ? although, we must
confess, our " wish is father to the thought." May
we not venture to prophecy .that you, NAPOLEON-
Louis, the chosen guardian of the liberties
of France, will, by one act of sublime self-
denial, cover yourself with a glory far ex-
ceeding that which shone around your cradle ?
Is it possible that you can be led away by the delusive
whispers of designing men ? Is it possible that some
phantasm of the brain, " some yet imperial hope," can
render you blind to the glorious path now open before
you ? Be not deceived ! The choice before you is
not between empire and obscurity, but between glory
and destruction. You may, if it so please you, refuse
the solid advantages proffered to your grasp, but you
will not clutch the glittering phantom of imperial
pomp—that is gone by for ever ! The future will
decide this all-important question, all-important to
the PRESIDENT individually, but to France a matter
of minor consideration. Her liberties, we hope and
believe, are now established on too firm, because on
too popular a foundation, to fear assault or un-
dermining from the most bold and crafty foe.
The skill of the " modern ULYSSES " was
unequal to that task, and even the name
of NAPOLEON, if (which GOD forbid !) it become
antagonistic to those liberties, will be powerless.
Liberty has invariably a progressive course ; tyranny,
frequently, as a natural consequence, follows anarchy
but only for a brief period. The'spirit of the nation
cannot retrograde. Can a man put on the garment of
a child ? Could our people now bend themselves to
the feudal laws ? These are questions which require
no answer. As firmly as we believe that our own
country enjoys (to a great extent) the blessings of
popular freedom, as firmly and unmovingly as, we
believe, that ere long all Europe, even the dominions
of NicnoLes, will (in a mitigated degree, perhaps,
at first) participate in those blessings—so firmly do
we believe it impossible that Republican France will
again kneel at the footstool of an Emperor.
" What, they who burst the bondage their fathers bore
so long,
That oppression had seemed saered in its venerable
wrong,
What, they who have outspoken, and the whole world
obeyed,
With its princes and its monarchs on their high thrones
afraid—
What, shall they learn the courtier's lisp, and shall
they cringe and sue?"
The elevation of the Consul BONAPARTE to the Imperial
dignity can only be accounted for, and perhaps excused,
by the unparalleled circumstances of the times and
his unparalleled glory. Such an hour and such a
man will never arrive again. For France we have no
fear : only Louis individually will be affected by the
close of his Presidentship. He may choose between
ridicule and renown. In the latter. case may al-
most be applied to him the panegyric on the abdicat-
ing Roman—
" His greatest glory was that hour
Of self-upheld, abandoned power."
This sentence would be the most glorious motto
LOUIS NAPOLEON could have inscribed upon his tomb.
If realised it, will be his infallible passport to the
admiration and gratitude of posterity.

MANCHESTER 'TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—The
continued advance in the Cotton Market has had the
tendency of keeping up the firm feeling in the goods
market which has existed for some time. As many
large orders are now nearly approaching completion,
there was some tendency to relax as to demand, but the
late increased advance in the raw material has operated
as a check to any downward tendency, and prices are as
firm as ever. Business, however, has not manifested
that briskness which for a length of time has charac-
terized the market, and as the export trade has consi-
derably fallen off, some re-action may be, for a time at
least, not unlikely. The business that is being done,
however, is not inconsiderable, and of a most healthy
kind. The transactions connected with the home trade
are satisfactory, and strong hopes are still cherished of
a brisk autumn trade.
TRADE or PAISLEY.—Trade continues brisk, and
we are informed that for the last ten years there has not
been such a demand for weavers. Weavers for some
kinds of fabrics cannot, indeed, be had. For the finer
descriptions of harness work, in particular, it is very

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
It is evident from the following article in the
Debate, that the POPE is by no means inclined to do
those things promised in his name to the French As-
sembly by his sponsor, M. DE TOCQUEVILLE. On
the contrary, the re-establishment of the Inquisition,
the seizure of all the copies of DIODATTS translation
of the Bible, the arrest and imprisonment of Dr.
ACBILLI, solely because he is a Protestant, all tend
to prove that Pius IX. takes for his model the hero
of M. DE FALLOUX, who planned, in conjunction
with the French Parti-Pretre of that day, the mas-
sacre of St. Bartholomew, rather than the pious,
tolerant, and liberal-minded GANGANELLI, between
whom and MASTAII FERRETTI it was at one time
thought there was some resemblance. The article in
the Debate is as follows :
"It is impossible for us to conceal the deep and in-
creasing regret which we feel in seeing the return of the
Pope to Rome indefinitely postponed. We know the
excellent and paternal feelings of Piux IX.—we know
that he is animated with the most prudent and liberal
intentions—we know, by his reiterated declarations, that
he comprehends all the extent of the reforms which the
Government of his states demands. We think we also
know that the power the more directly interested in the
pacification of Italy—far from contradicting the councils
given by France, on the contrary supports them. We
are, therefore, persuaded that if the Pope himself comes
and resumes his place in his capital, he would personally
exercise his prerogative in quite a different spirit from
that shown by his present delegates. What has taken
place in Rome since the commandant of the French
army considered it his duty to hand over the
eivil Government to the pontifical commission? We do
not speak of the measure connected with the paper
money—a measure which we consider ill-advised, which
has ruined and dissatisfied the middle classes, but which
may perhaps be justified by reasons of political economy.
What we allude to, and what we think we have a right
to complain of bitterly, is the precipitation with which
the commission of three cardinals successively re-
established the institutions and the customs which were
the most decried and condemned of the previous
regime of Pius IX., such as the vicariat-general, the
inquisition into the existence of all citizens, and the
ecclesiastical judicial power. The reform in the judicial
organisation was one of those measures which h

himself"o
the idea, and had formally expressed his intention of stwarmly
had
in-
troducing the principles of the French civil code into the
administration of justice in his states. It is for this
n
we shall hail with the livliest satisfaction the re-
turn of the Pope into his states, for we are sure that
he will not suffer the abuse which is now there made of
his authority. But while waiting for his return the
French are there, and they must not be there for nothing.
We are morally responsible for what is done in such
parts of the Pontifical territory as we occupy militarily;
and when we see already the re-establishment of certain
institutions, added to useless acts of violence against
persons, we cannot allow ourselves to be indifferent wit-
nesses of such a spectacle, and appear to sanction it by
our presence and by our silence. We consider that
France has fulfilled her duties towards the Papacy; she
has others to perform towards the Romans—towards the
opinion of all the Italian peninsula—of all liberal En-
rope—and we may add, towards herself. We certainly
feel the deepest respect for the sovereignty of the Pope,
and for his perfect independence; we nevertheless think
that both the one and the other woutd be very weak
without us, and that after having accepted the sword of
France, there would be no humiliation in accepting some
of her counsels."

But it is not merely the affairs of Rome which are
embarrassing the French Government. The following
letter, which appears in the semi•oficial Patrie,
proves that the French Government regard with
almost equal anxiety the state of affairs in Piedmont :
" The extreme party in the Chamber of Deputies ap
pear to have the upper hand. The left will have 90
votes, while the constitutional right will find a difficulty
to muster 40. Since the nomination of the President a
compromise had been attempted by the right, which did
not put forward any candidate, and gave their support to
a man belonging to the moderate left centre. The de•
mocratic party, however, would listen to no compromise.
To what will this state of things lead us? To anarchy
or to absolutism. You are already aware that a dis-
discussion has been opened on the treaty of peace, and
that the Ministry would in all probability meet with
an immediate check. The opposition has allowed
itself to be carried away by the exciting language
of MM. Cabella, Bianchi, Giovanni, Cadorne, and
Valerio. It thought that it was not necessary
to have a war of 'words, but one of facts—a
systematic war. It began by refusing to sanction the
treaty, Will this ♦ote lead to the overthrow of the

Ministry? Ido not think it will. Any other Ministry
whatever must, before any other thing is done, submit
the treaty of peace to the approbation of the Chamber,
for there is not a moment to be lost; there is a necessity
for its so doing—a fatal necessity, I admit, but against
which it is useless to struggle. And suppose that the
Government should be mad enough to again attempt the
game of force and chance, is it not clear that in three
days the Austrians would be at Turin?"
In which case France, we may add, will be com-
pelled to do that which she ought to have done long
since, draw the sword in support of Italian inde-
pendence.
The National publishes a letter from Constaninople,
which gives the following details of the bargain
between Russia and Austria. The writer says—
" I terminate my letter with a piece of very grave
news. There can be no doubt of the fact, that Austria
has agreed to cede the mouth of the Caltaro to Russia.
Caltaro is only at some leagues' distance from the
Turkish port of Antivari, and of Scutari, the capital of
Albania, and not far from the lonian Isles. The Divan

and Sir S. Canning have energetically protested
against this surrender, and have announced that they
consider it to involve a casus bell. Has France become
Russian to such an extent as to hold her silence in pre-
sence of so exorbitant a circumstance?"

This statement is corroborated by an article in the
Presse (the organ of the Russian party) which makes
a precisely similar statement.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic has taken up his
residence at St. Cloud, where he proposes to remain
during the vacation. M. DE PALLOR' has gone to
the baths at Neris, :and the Marquis of NORMANDY
has left Paris for the coast.

A letter from Toulon of the 17th inst. announces
hat accounts have been received from Gaeta which

leave no doubt as to the intention of the POPE i 0
return at no distant period to Rome. M. DE Court-
CBLLES is expected every day at Toulon. The Medi-

terranean fleet remained at anchor in the harbour.
Father VENTURA is at present at Montpellier. He
has been refused passports to Paris.
The following exquisitely ridiculous paragraph ap-
pears in the Corsaire on the subject of the meetings
of the Financial Reform Association. Mr. Lusn-

INGTON, and the Reverend Mr. SPENCER, who are
staunch Free- traders, will smile to see themselves
classed among the Socialists, who are the legitimate
offspring of Protection. " If," says the Corsaire, " the
gracious SOVEREIGN of Great Britain is desirous
of preserving her triple crown, she must, what-
ever may be said, oppose the development of
radical meetings. If you wish for a Government

she died almost instantaneously. The circumstances
which led to the fatal occurrence are stated to be as
follows ;—Brock, who is an engineer, and a steady man,
had given his wife some money either o❑ Friday night
or Saturday morning, for family purposes, but which she
had misspent in getting herself' intoxicated. On his
coming home to dinner on Saturday the fire was out,
and the house empty. He accordingly went to a brother-
in-law's, who resides in the New Vennal, in search of his
wife, where he found her, to a certain extent, the worse
of liquor. On leaving the house together a quarrel en
;tied, which ended in his knocking her down. She rose,
however, and followed him down the High-street to the
close in which their own house is situated, where the
quarrel was again renewed, and he pushed or threw her
down upon the stair, and kicked her with so much vio-
lence that she was killed on the spot; at least when Dr.
Shaw, who was immediately sent for, arrived, life was
extinct. The deceased was severely cut about the fore-
head. Brock was apprehended and lodged in the police-
office on a charge of murder.—North British Mail.
