ABERDEEN.

The directors of this company have given notice
of their intention to apply to Parliament in the
ensuing session for power to increase the capital ;
to make alterations in the authorised line and stations
in the vicinity of Aberdeen ; to repeal the Act
amalgamating the Aberdeerr:Companywith the Great
North of Scotland Company ; to authorise the
directors to guarantee interest on the now shares
which may be created by the company for paying
off any mortgagees or bonds, and to guarantee in-
terest on any stock into which any new shares may
be censolidated. It is intended to apply for powers
to raise additional capital to the amount of 150,000/.,
but it is expected that 120,0001. will be sufficient
to provide the necessary stock for working the line.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.
The Sacred !Harmonic Society commenced their
season last night at Exeter Hall. The band and
chorus are in all essential respects the same as during
last season ; and the whole- of the musical arrange-
ments are under the direction of Mr. Costa. If we
may judge from the admirable style in which the
whole performance, vocal and instrumental, went off
last night, there is no reason to doubt that this so-
ciety will continue to deserve the high reputation
which it has enjoyed, alike with the musical world
and the regular frequenters of sacred performances at
Exeter-hall, since the improved management. The
oratorio selected for last evening was Handel's Solo-
mon, one motive for opening the season with it being
that, with the exception of a few months, one century
has elapsed since its first production. It was com-
menced on the 11th July, 1748, and finished on the
9th of August ; and it was first performed (at
Covent-garden Theatre) on the 17th March, 1749.-
One of the latest, it is by no means one of the best of
Handel's oratorios; but its beauties, which lie chiefly
in the choruses, received full justice from the enor-
mous orchestra. All the choruses are fine ; but
among the most effective last night were, " Through-
out the Land," and the final chorus of the first part,
" May no rash intruder." This last, especially, was
Admirably rendered, so much so that, in spite of the

BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD.

It is rumoured in certain quarters that negotia-
tions are pending between the London and North-
Western and Great Western directors for the sale of
the Birmingham and Oxford Railway to the former
company, who, it is said, are likely to obtain posses.
sion of it. We believe we are correct in stating that
negotiations have been carried on for such a purpose,
but that they have had an unsatisfactory termination.
One of the conditions of the negotiations was, that
the London and North-Western Company should
advance 1,500,000/. on account of the purchase.
There were other conditions respecting the limits of
the bread and narrow gauges. We can, however,
state that negotiations are being carried on between
the two companies in the most friendly spirit for
working the traffic of the Birmingham and Oxford,
Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton, and
some other connecting lines, with the greatest pos-
sible economy.

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_
paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put int
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. IT. Gemstone, of the lierbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
T ever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s
ftegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I ls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
heyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
tady of respectability to the above factf.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
lair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
meet aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreihing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of novelle headache, pour tea or twelve drops
on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplicatlons. If used on infants'
tiewcs, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
veal convulsions, as well as *emoting the growth of hair.---Mee

FIELD•MARSHAL BEM.

" Lieutenant-Field-Marshal,—The eorps•d'armde of
Georgey overmatched has retreated without battle to
Miskulcz. The generals, chiefly out of fear of being
crushed and dispersed by the enemy's cavalry, 18,000
strong, will not risk an engagement; their idie fixe is to
unite with our main army, and they reflect not that
th,reby they bring the Russian army about our e.rs
here, and leave us no time to deal a decisive blow
against the Austiians, so that we shall fall bAween two
fi!es. I announce this to Lieutenant-Field-Marshal, in
the firm conviction that we can only be saved by a rapid
concentration of all our forces (which will then be
placed under your command-in•chief). We shall have
the Russians inla week at Pest h; still worse. we shall have
them in the rear of our army. We will do what is pos-
sible. I await news from you most anxiously.

PRUSSIA.

The First Chamber met on the 27th to discuss M.
CAMPHAUSEN'S proposition for rendering all future
acts and resolutions of the future German Parlia-
ment binding upon the Prussian Chamber and Go-
vernment. The motion was carried by a large ma-
jority, of which the Cabinet Members, having votes,
formed part. The whole of the Cabinet were
present. A letter was read from the Attorney-
General of Cologne, asking leave to prosecute M.
MO ERA, a Member of the House, implicated in
the late riots at Elberfeld. Referred to the com
mittee ad hoc. Leave was then demanded to bring
in a Bill to amend the system of reporting petitions.
The House then proceeded to the order of the day,
at the head of which stood M. CAMPHAUSEN'S mo-
tion. 31. GOLTDAMMER, in the name of the Com-
mittee, complained that sufficient time had not
been allowed to examine carefully the voluminous
documents connected with the German question
and recent and pending negotiations. He, how-
ever, added that they (the majority) were of opinion
that there only remained one mode of settling
the question without the employment of brute force,
and that was through the medium of a state consti-
tution for Germany. Count BRANDENBURG was of
opinion that the Chambers must be sufficiently en-
lightened upon the subject by means of the docu-
ments laid before them; " and therefore,"
added his Excellency, " should the Chamber
adopt the proposition, the Cabinet will regard
it as a vote of confidence, and act accord-
ingly."—(Bravo.) M. CAMPHAUSEN followed, and
spoke during some time, but added nothing new
to the arguments adduced in favour of his motion
last Thursday. His final phrase was this :—" I
can understand that it is difficult for some
Members to speak suddenly in favour of the Ger-
man question. But it is not I that have urged
them to this strait • it is the still echoing thunder of
the revolution. Decide, therefore, gentlemen, firmly
and finally." Count HELSDORF rose to propose the
previous question motivg. M. DE MAIcTEUFEL (Mi-
nister of the Interior) objected to the motion, and
urged the Chamber to vote for M. CAMPHAUSEN'S
motion—deprecated all delays and procrastinations,
and declared that final decision on this question, and
continued exertions on all others, was necessary, as
a false report had gone abroad that the Government
intended to adjourn the House until the first German
Parliament had closed its session.

FRANKFORT.

Russia is already commencing her armed crusade
against the freedom of Europe. Hungary is fallen,
and Switzerland is to be the next prey. It was
stated at Frankfort on the 26th that two Russian
divisions of 30,000 men, with 30 cannon, were on
march to the Vcralberg, to take up a position opposed
to the Swiss with the Austrian troops.
The Archduke Joisrl is about to resign the
Regency.

The celebration of the first centenary of GOETHE'S
birthday commenced at Frankfort on the 27th. On
the evening of that day, being the eve of the festival,
the first part of Carl GUTZKOW'S new drama, entitled
Goethe's Youth, was performed in the theatre, which
was brilliantly lit up on the occasion. A new
overture and prologue were specially written for this
performance. At ten P.M. a Notiurne was executed
by the Frankfort operatic corps before the house in
which the poet was born.

for thri, purposes of the society, at least for the present, as
there dhl appear, to say the least of it, a great care-
lessness in the management, and, according to Mr.
Gompertz's own. admission, they had nut a sixpence
in their coffers.

Mr. Mellor—That may be, but though we are poor
we are honest.

Mr. NORTON—I have not imputed dishonesty to
your client—certainly not ; but still I think that,
under the circumstances, it would be the best policy
to discontinue the subscriptions for the present.
Mr. NORTON inquired if Mr. Fergusson, the chief
clerk to the Mendicity Society, who attended for the
prosecution, intended to examine Mr. Gompertz
as a witness, and that gentleman having replied
in the affirmative, Mr. Gompertz got into the
witness-box.

The prisoner Hening objected to the witness being
sworn until examined, observing that be held infidel
principles, and should, therefore, wish the magistrate
to examine him as to his belief of rewards and punish-
ments.

Mr. Gompertz, who professed himself a Jew, ad-
mitted that he did not believe in a future state of
re wards and punishments. Having, however, admittEd
he believed that in taking the oath he was calling God
to punish him in this world or the world to come if
he should speak falsely, he was sworn. His evidence
went to prove the existence of the Animals' Friend
Society since 1832, down to the present time, and that
Hening had been employed, not by him, but a servant
of the society, to collect money; he did so, and did not
pay it in, upon which he had to take him to this
court, but he was discharged on his promising to
return the money. He (Hening) had not been em-
ployed by the society for four or five years.
Hening, cross-examined the witness, but did not
elicit anything particular.
Mr. NORTON repeated his opinion, that the society
should discontinue its subscription and get connected
as a branch with the Royal Society, in which case
the public would repose all confidence in it. He
could not help saying that the representation of two
offices being held, one in the Strand and another in
Newington, while in point of fact no such offices were
in existence, as well as the fact of inserting the
names of distinguished individuals now no more as
the present patrons of the society, were calculated to
mislead the public. He added that he was happy to
add that the Learned Counsel agreed with him in the
opinion that the collection of subscriptions for the
present should discontinue.

Some gentlemen, the friends of Mr. Gompertz,
while disclaiming all participation in his religious be.
lief and doctrines, expressed the strongest opinion of
his perfect zeal and integrity in the cause of hums.
nity, and said they were convinced his pecuniary sa-
crifices to the society must be considerable.
The prisoners were ultimately remanded.

AUSTRIA.

Comorn still holds out, but the following letter has
been addressed by General Arthur Georgey to General
Klapka, the officer in command :
" General, the die is cast—our hopes are crushed! Our
power has been broken by the house of Hapsburg-Lor-
raine, aided by the armies of Russia. The struggles and
the sacrifices of our great nation were fruitless, and it
were madness to persevere. General, you will think
my actions at Vilagosh mysterious and even in-
credible. I will explain my motives to you and to the
world. lam a Hungarian. I love my country above
all things, and I follow the dictates of my heart, which
urged me to restore peace to my poor and ruined coun-
try, and thus to save it from perdition.
" General, this is my motive for what I did at Vila-
gosh. Posterity will judge me.
" General, by virtue of the dignity of Dictator, which
the nation conferred on me by the (dissolved) Parlia-
ment, I Authmon you to follow my example, and by an
immediate 'sdirender of the -`.fortress of Oomorn to end
a war of 441'40h-the protraction would for ever crush the
greatness find the glory of the:Hithgarian nation.
" General, lam aware"of' your sentiments, I know
your patriotism, and I ain sure you will obey my order,
for I know you understand my motives.
. .

" May God be with you, and may He guide your steps.
" ARTHUR GEORGEY.

PRUSSIA.

The First Chamber met on the 27th to discuss M.
CAMPHAUSEN'S proposition for rendering all future
acts and resolutions of the future German Parlia-
ment binding upon the Prussian Chamber and Go-
vernment. Tne motion was carried by a large ma-
jority, of which the Cabinet N1.,-Inbars, having votes,
formed part. The whole of the Cabinet were
present. A letter was read from the Attorney-
General of Cologne, asking leave to prosecute M.
MO ERA, a Member of the House, implicated in
the late riots at Elberfeld. Referred to the corn
mittee ad hoc. Leave was then d' mended to bring
in a 13111 to amend the system of reporting petitions.
The House then procetaled to the order of the day,
at the head of which stood M. CAMPUAUSEN'S mo
tion. M. GOLTDAMMER, in the name of the Com-
mittee, complained that sufficient time had not
been allowed to examine carefully the voluminous
documents connected with the German question
and recent and pending negotiations. Ile, how-
ver, added that they (the m jority) were of opinion
that there only remained one mode of settling
the question without the employment of brute force,
and that was through the medium of a state consti-
tution for Germano. Count BRANDENBURG was of
opinion that the Chainb,rs must be sufiLiently en-
lightened upon the subject by means of the docu-
ments laid before them; " and therefore,"
added his Excellency, " should the Chamber
adopt the proposition, the Cabinet will regard
it as a vote of confidence, and act accord-
ingly."—(Bravo) M. CAMPHAUSEN followed, and
spoke during some time, but added nothing new
to the arguments adduced in favour of his motion
last Thursday. His final phrase was this :—" I
can understand that it is difficult for some
Members to speak suddenly in favour of the Ger-
man question. But it is not I that have urged
them to this strait ; it is the still echoing thunder of
the revolution. Decid-, therefore, gentlemen, firmly
and finally." Count LIELSDORF lose to propose the
previous question motivg. M. DE MANTEUFEL (Ali-
nister of the Interior) objected to the motion, and
urged the Chamber to vote for M. CAMPHAUSEN'S
motion—deprecated all delays and procrastinations,
and declared that final decision on this question, and
continued exertions on all others, was necessary, as
a false report had gone abroad that the Government
intended to adjourn the House until the first German
Parliament had closed its session.

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
,iper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put Int
he paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weckley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoxe, of the lierbary, High-
rate ter the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four month.,
Ind the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
f ever was heinre the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to -the virtues of Mr. G.%
le,T,enator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
in I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
cadence, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
hey and any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering an:,
ady of respectability to the above fact:.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afew
drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mare it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
air brilliancy, causing It to curl.
The most delicate ladles may use this delightful product of the
;nest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing
,dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the head; If very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
veri convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
lanaphlet of testimonials.

" BLANCHE and LISETTE," the new Ballad
by the Author and Composer of " Jeannette and Jeannot."
Miss Poole introduced a new Ballad, "Blanche and Lisette," by Glover;
it s art excellent song, and was well sung. Some three years ago
we predicted success for the famous " Conscript Songs ;" we were
right: wherever the English language is spoken there the " Jean-
nette" songs are sung, and we expect that the same good fortune
awaits " Blanche and Lisette," for the melody is extremely pretty,
quaint, and original, and the poetry has that " touch of nature which
makes the whole world kin."—Post free, 25.
