THE NORRISIAN PRIZE.
The Norrisian Professor has given notice that the sub-
ject for the present year for the English prose essay is—
" The internal evidence afforded by the historical books
of the Old Testament that the several writers of them
were inspired by the Holy Ghost."
The essay, with a sealed letter containing the name of
the author, is to be sent, on or before the tenth day pre-
ceding the Sunday in Passion Week, 1849, to one of the
three stewards of Mr. Norris's Institution, who are, the
Nlaster of Trinity College, the Provost of King's College,
and the Master of Caius College.

Any opinion advanced in the essay of a candidate for
this prize; contrary (in the estimation of the appointed
judges) to those articles of the Church of England which
mist,. to our Saviour's divinity and the personality of
the HolyjSpirit, is to disqualify such candidate.

THE SUICIDE OF VISCOUNT MIDLETON.— GODAL-
antic, TUESDAY.—After our report of the inquest on
the body of this nobleman was sent off on Monday night,
the coroner continued to address the jury upon the
nature of the evidence adduced by the several witnesses.
The jury were then left consulting together -for a few
moments, when the foreman announced the following as
the unanimous verdict of himself and brother jurors:-
- We find that the Right Honourable George Allen,
Viscount Midleton, in a certain room in Peper Har-
row Mansion, Peper Harrow Park, in the parish of
Peper Harrow, within the county of Surrey, did on
Wednesday, the Ist of November, 1848, destroy his own
life, he being at the same time in.a state of- temporary
insanity."
SCULLERS' MATCH FROM WESTMINSTER TO PUT-
NEY AGAINST TIDE.—The boat-race between George
Booth and Henry Collings, for 31. aside, was decided on
Monday over the above distance. It was a plucky affair
for about halfway, Collings taking the lead until off
Vauxhall, when Booth, from superior lasting qualities,
went by him, gradually increased his advantage, and
finally won by nearly a quarter of a mile.

REMEDY FOR RAILWAY
DEPRECIATION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—About ten days ago I had prepared a table
showing the highest and lowest prices of railway
,hares, from the boiling point of 1845 to the zero of
1848, and the depreciation in each case cons quently
rollowing. The table I proposed submitting for your
.approval, hut the sudden aliention which took pace
it the time induced me to withdraw it. If, however,
any of your readers, or any o:her persons, suppe,e
that the danger is past and gone, and th it :ill they
have now in prospect is a gradual but certain improve-
ment of their railway property, I would beg to warn
inch persons that the very ro
anl essence of the
deal of
its ruinous
has been
er.
done
not
by that class of men who have been justly held up to
public odium by yourself and the journalists ; I in en
he " Bea rs" of the Stock Etch inge. 'lbis is a sys-
tem so iniquitous that the man who can put it down
ill deserve well of his country; but, after looking
at the matter in all its " bearings," I confess I do not
see any available remedy. If the public should
cease to support the present Stock Exchange, the
" Bears" and " Bulls" would have one of their own,
where they would not only worry and gore each
other alternately, as at present, but inflict at least
indirect injury upon the public outside.
I apprehend, Sir, that it is the existing state of
things which furnishes means to these ferocious
" gentlemen " for their cruel practices. If the rail-
way property of the country were in a sound condi-
tion, the up and-down game of the " Bulls" and
"Bears" would be at an end. There might be, and
there would be, fluctuations from certain legitimate
causes, but themild panic-work would cease.
And now, Sir, let me in a few words state what I
conceive to be the great desideratum. It is a simple,
but I believe a sure, remedy for the evil. I mean,
Sir, the official abandonment of all the schemes
of 1846 and 1847 which have either not yet com-
menced operations, or have not proceeded to any
great extent. Shareholders in these lines may
rely upon it that should they have ever
paid up twenty per cent. upon their shares, the
first loss will be the least. Every additional call
paid upon such stock is so much good money thrown
Away. If these parties have any spare cash left, let
them turn it to some other account, rather than pur-
sue delusive schemes, which will never pay working
charges.
The pressure of these new and ruinous under-
takings upon the holders of shares in old companies
is perhaps not generally understood. I will suppose
that the holder of twenty &hates in the London and
North Western, Great Western, or any other leading
line, has had the misfortune to take up 200 shares in
some wretched scheme at the fag-end of the land.
He has paid one or two calls upon the 200 shares ;
they are perfectly worthless ; the works are sus-
pended ; and it is all but certain that the line never
can be made, or, if it were made, would not yield
him a half per cent. But, to his astonishment, the
directors of the said scheme are pleased to mak a call
of Si. per share on the 200 shares held by the sup-
posed party. He does not respond to it; he is
threatened with " proceedings ;" and, at length, the
harpies of the law are let loose upon him. He has
no alternative but to sell, at any price, his shares in
the old and good line, to pay his call on the new and
bad line—and hence depreciation necessarily follows.
But, Sir, this is not all. It may so happen that
the old line itself is entangled with the new concern.
It has, perhaps, leased it at threefold its value ; or, it
may have subscribed a large portion of its required
capital; and thus the young monster, in place of
"feeding" the parent trunk, is a mere blood sucker.
Sir, unless I am greatly mistaken, the pith of the
evil is here. If shareholders expect any permanent
improvement, they must compel their directors to
knock these monsters on the head ; the blow must
not only be vigorous, but instantaneous. No as-
surances of an "intention" to " wind up" must he ac-
cepted; the thing must be done. If the best and
soundest schemes in the country are at discounts of
from 20 to 50 per cent., what fate awaits the genera-
tion of lines now struggling for existence? Share-
holders, you must either kill them, or they will kir
you.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,
Nov. 7, 1848. ANTI-DISCOUNT.

NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION
RAILWAY.
TO THE EDITOI? OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Knowing your anxiety to see the existing
railway liabilities reduced, I trust on that account
you will insert the following letter in your next pub-
lication.

I am desirous to call the attention of the share-
holders of the Northern Counties Union Railway to
the absolute necessity of having the concern brought
to within as small a compass as possible. It appears
the directors, in conjunction with those of the Stock-
ton and Darlington Railway,' have caused a survey
to be made for a line between Darlington and Bar-
nard Castle, and from thence on to the Tehay line.
It seems to me perfect madness entertaining for oae
moment the idea of such a project ; in the first
place, where is the money to come from to
make the line; in the next, where is there
traffic to pay 1 per cent on the outlay ; it is
monstrous that the funds of the shareholders should
be thus wasted. I wonder what authority the direc-
tors have for taking such a step. According to a re-
solution passed at last meeting, it was resolved that
no fresh contracts or agreements should be entered
into without the sanction of the proprietors. From
last report the funds amounted to 76,7771.—that
20,0001. would cover the liabilities, and that the
powers of the Act would expire in 1853. Now, Sir,
I would strongly recommend every shareholder, great
or small, to take steps (in order, at once, to limit the
powers of the directors) similar to those of the Liver-
pool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction, and return,
say three-fourths of the money in hand, or about 15s.
to 20s. per share—to limit the number of the
directors to six, or appoint new ones in their room—
to.remove the office (say) to Darlington, and reduce
the secretary's salary from 5001. to 1501. a year; for
it is quite clear his duties cannot occupy him more
than two or three hours a day.
In my opinion it would be useless applying for a
dissolution Act, and a mere waste of money—there-
fore, let the expenses be reduced to the utmost pos-
sible limit—allow the Act to expire, and then close
the accounts finally. I would strongly recommend
the above suggestions to the careful consideration of
the shareholders, and those whose views coincide
with them. Address, stating number of shares, amount
paid, &c., to A. M. Z., post.office, Middlesborough,
Yorkshire.

I enclose my card and address for your private
satisfaction. A. M. Z.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Only three years ago any proposed line of
railway whose imaginary profits were supposed to be
ten per cent., was offered and eagerly swallowed up
by the short-sighted public and capitalists, greedy to
obtain an investment for their money that would
realise so large a return of interest. the time has
arrived when more than that greatly desired return
can actually be acquired, and yet it is most extraordi-
nary, it is now completely overlooked, either from
mistrust or ignorance. In your paper you have
already offered some valuable suggestions as to the
large amount of interest that will accrue from the
purchase in most of the great working trunk lines, at
the present low prices. Without being at all in-
terested in any railway, I have taken the trouble to
look into the return of some of those in the course of
completion, and I now send you the first result of my
investigation, which,9f you think proper to publish,
may be of service to your readers, by showing them
the golden opportunity they are losing. The fiction
which previously they were so anxious to gain has
now become a reality.
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
In the half-yearly report, the directors state, that
the line will not be completed until early in the
spring of 1850, so that previous to the opening, three
half-years' interest, at the rate of five per cent, will
continue to accrue on all Calls paid up, due 31st De-
Cember, 1848; 30th June, and 31st December, 1849 ;
and payable one month thereafter respectively; after
which, of courso, such dividend as the line will be able
to pay,

Under the new optional arrangement of dividing
the shares, whereby the 251. shares are divisible into
A's, or deferred, having 121. 10s. all paid up, and
bearing interest at four per cent., and B's 41. 10s.
paid, with 81. more still to pay, guaranteed a prefer-
ence interest and dividend of six per cent., it follows
that the A's 12/. 10s., paid at a discount of 10/.1 or
21. 10s. per share, will yield to the purchaser 20 per
cent. certain on the purchase money, from the three
half-yearly interest instalments due 31,4 December,
1848; 30th June and 31st December, 1849; that is,
30 per cent. of, the purchase money. will accrue in the
shape of interest in 13 months, from and after 31st.
December. (This date is taken because shares pur-
chased previously will not be settled Itx• until early in
December.) Moreover, if the line wliscri opened only
yields tulividend of_four per cent., the:purchaser will
continue to 'receive ten per cent. on the purchase-
money, but if the line yields

TRIAL BY JURY.
Yesterday the 54th anniversary of the triumph of
trial by jury, as exemplified in the *acquittal of
Thomas Hardy, John Horne Tooke, John .I.'helwall,
J. Joyce, T. Holeroft, and the other, members of the
Corresponding Society, who, in 1794, were tried for
high treason, was celebrated at Radley's Hotel, Black-
friars. Nearly 100 gentlemen sat down to dinner,
Mr. Parry, the barrister, presiding, supported by Mr.
C. Lushington, M.P., Mr. J. Williams, M.P., and
other gentlemen who-have taken a prominent part in
the progress of reform being present..
The cloth having been removed, the Chairman gave
" The Sovereignty of the People," which he believed
to be the best security fur the throne and the people.
The toast was drunk with enthusiastic applause. The
next toast was " The Queen," and the Chairman in
proposing it said that the sentiment of the majority of
the radical reformers of the country was to unite the
most extensive political reforms with the maintenance
of monarchy.—(Hear.) As far as it was possible for
the sovereign to perform the duties of her station to
the benefit of all classes, and within the pale of the
constitution, her present Majesty had done so.
The toast was given with three times three and up-
standing.
Mr. C. LUSHINGTON, M.P., having returned thanks
for the drinking of his health, proceeded to give the
toast of the evening, " Trial by Jury." He ex-
pressed his gratification at seeing so large a company
assembled to do honour to the acquittal of those pa-
triots who had jeopardised their lives in the cause of
truth and liberty, and in opposing the machinations of
a tyrannical Ministry, a corrupt Parliament, and a
despotic Sovereign—for George 111., though not a
despot by law, was by his opinions and acts as much
a despot as he dared to be; and had he been permitted
to govern the nation as he wished, he would have re-
duced the people of this country to the condition of
Russian serfs. Witness his arbitrary treatment of
America, his causeless wars with France, his op-
pression of Ireland—especially of the Catholic
population of that country—and his fierce exercise
of the prerogative. A man who in those
days hissed at the King on his road to the
House of Lords was punished by the pillory and five
years' imprisonment. Looking at past events our
feelings could be only those of exultation and con.
gratulation that the men who ventured their lives
escaped unscathed—thanks to the jury who pro-
pounced them not guilty of crime—their only offence
being that they were the advocates of an extension of
the suffrage and the shortening of the duration of
Parliaments. But for that verdict we might at this
time be suffering from triumphant tyranny. It was
remarkable that notwithstanding the defeat of the

Ministry in the acquittal of these men, they ventured
to renew their attack on the freedom of the people,
and that Parliament conspired to sanction them. In
1796 Lord Granville brought in his Bill for the
better security of the King's person, which provided
that no public assembly should come together to
consider any public measure except in the presence of
a magistrate, which magistrate was empowered to dis-
miss such assembly, and to pronounce arbitrarily as to
what he might consider to he sedition, or what in the

clause being inserted by the then scoundrelly House
of Commons, providing that if at a meeting of fifty
persons twelve remained after the magistrate desired
them to retire, they were to suffer death without the
benefit of clergy. In rejoicing that the times bad
passed when such scenes were enacted, let them do
justice to the honoured names of those who, when the
task was more dangerous than now, had stood forward
as the champions of popular rights, and had opposed
themselves to the power of a corrupt Court and a
tyrannical Monarch by pronouncing a verdict of " Not
guilty." It was with great pleasure that he proposed
the toast, "Trial by Jury, the great bulwark of
British liberty?' The toast was drunk with much
cheering.
The CHAIRMAN tben gave, " The memory of T.
Hardy, J. Horne Tooke, J. Thelwall, J. A. Bonny,
Stewart Kyd, R. Hodgson T. Holcroft, J. Joyce,
I'. Wardle, M. Moore, J. Baxter, and J. Ritchter,"
which, contrary to custom, was also drunk with loud
cheers. " The memory of the Scottish Martyrs—
Thomas Muir, J. Gerrald, M. Margarot, Fyshe Pal-
mer, and W. kirving ;" " The memory of the London
Corresponding Society ;" "The memory of the Three
Juries who acquitted Tooke and the rest of the ac-
cused. and Erskine and Gibbs, their able and gra-
tuitous counsel ;" " A radical reform of all classes
and a true representation of the British people in the
Commons' House of Parliament;" " Success to the
nations of Europe in their endeavours to obtain con-
stitutional liberty—may the power of enlightened
public opinion attain and secure for the people the
possession of equal political and civil rights;" and
" The Radical party in the House of Commons, and
the healths of Messrs. Lushington and Williams,"
were subsequently given and acicnowledged, and after
the customary compliment to the chairman the meet-
ing separated.

METROPOLITAN SEWAGE MANURE COMPANY.—
The ordinary half-year'y meeting of this company took
place yesterday at the offices of the company, in the
Waterloo-plic,-. The report stated that the works were
so far complete as to be in fictive and effective operation,
and that the whole district of Fulham Fields was inter-
sected with the company's mains and service pipes, and
that the financial situation of the company was sound
and encouraging. In the course of the proceedings the
chairman stated that the difference 3 between the Com-
missioners of Sewers and the directors of the company
had been finally Battled.
