LONDON, TUESDAY. JANUARY 4, 1848

Joy and sorrow must, just now, be battling in the
bosom of the French SOVEREIGN. We can sympa-
thise in his affliction, but we cannot sympathise in
his exultation. The sudden death of the Princess
ADELAIDE—a beloved sister, whose affection has been
his solace, and whose masculine intelligence has been
his reliance through many protracted and extraor-
dinary vicissitudes—whose fortunes have been iden-
tified with his own from the time when they stood
together as children at the knees of Madame DE GEN•
LIS, and from the day when, covered with the glory
of Jemappes, he listened to the prediction of DANTON,
that after the storms of the Revolution had sub-
sided he would become a King—the abrupt demise
of one who had been principally instrumental
in fulfilling that prophetic assurance, and whom he
had regarded throughout the whole of his career with
the tenderest devotion, is a calamity second only to
that which, in 1841, deprived Louis PYILIPPE of the
heir to his royal diadem. It is fortunate that at the
very period of this new and agonising catastrophe an
occurrence should have transpired which, of all others,
vas perhaps the best calculated to temper the sadness of
the Monarch, and to moderate, in some measure, the
effects of his domestic misfortune. This propitious
occurrence is about the moat wonderful fact which
will have to be recorded in the calendar of 1847.
.ABD-.ZL-KADER has been captured ! The Invisible,
has been seen ; the Untangible has been touched ;
the Unconquerable has been conquered ; the Victor
of a hundred battles has delivered himself into the
bands ;of a subordinate officer in Algeria; the Lord
of the Desert is a captive ! Incredible as this may
appear, there is not a chink of fact nor a cranny of
argument through which it can be doubted. If for a
moment we can deceive ourselves into the belief that
the Great EMIR is rejoicing in freedom, and galloping
his war-horse over those sands which he had made
his empire, the illusion would be dis.
gelled by the exultant dispatches of the Duc
D'Aum.anE and of General LastouiciEßE. There
can be no doubt whatever as to the reality of
tills most memorable event. ADD-EL,KADER is taken
the glory of the Mussulmans is extinguished—the
ero of the Arabs has been circumvented—he is no

of man.

To carry out effectually and economically steam communication
with those countries is the object of this Company, for whose ope-
rations there is an ample aid profitable field, especially as regards
our numerous and valuable colonies in the liouthern Pacific, which
have an increasing intercourse with India as well as with England
—are the only portions of the British empire u.connected by steam
navigation with the parent state, and for which a charter by the
overland route has been exclusively granted to this Company.

The route sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-
pany is vii. Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres iltraits, the advantages of
which are, that Sydney, the metroplitan capital of the whole of the
Australasian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 64 or
65 days of London (frequently in 60), and within less than 30 days
of India. The coal staticoss are convenient, excellent coal from the

The following list contains the total number of officers
on the navy list of January, in each of the years men-
tioned, from 1816 to 1848:-1816, 10,487; 1831, 8,885;
1837, 7,921; 1843, 8,111; 1847, 7,926; 1848, 7.882.
There are at present four descriptions of officers on
the list more than there were in 1816, namely, naval
instructors, mates, second masters, and clerks ; these
amount to 518 persons, which added to 2,605 officers
less in 1848 than in 1846, will in reality make a dimi-
nution of 3,123 persons receiving half-pay.
Altogether the navy is in a most admirable working
condition ; the steam-works added to the dockyards
are in a most forward state—those at Portsmouth will
be ready for working in the spring, and those of De-
vonport are very rapidly progressing. The ports are
all being well fortified, and their approaches guarded by
batteries and similar new works ; and we trust we shall
see on the re-opening of Parliament a measure proposed
and adopted for increasing by favourable means the
number of seamen for the fleet, in the event of their
services being suddenly required.

HO TV/ TT'S JOURNAL.

Without question the best contribution in the part
for the present month is the poetical one by William
HaHingham on "Frost in the Holidays." It reads
almost hke one of Long-fellow's. here is one verse,
as bracing and true as half an hour's exercise on the
Serpentine :
"The lake is like glass!—hurrah! hurr,ih
On with your skates without delio !
Off we shoot, and poise, and ss heel,
Arid swiftly turn on the scoring heel;
And our flying sandals chirp and sing
Like a flack: of swallows upon the wing."
The second volume of this journal of literature and
popular progress is just completed.

THE METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE.
In his dissertation on " The Literary Forgeries of
Chatterton," the editor displays a full appreciation of
the poetic genius of this most extraordinary and un-
paralleled mortal. To our thinking, however, he
altogether misapprehends the personal character of
Chatterton. Ile has not read his history rightly, or
he would see in it the narrative not only of the most
precocious intellect ever vouchsafed to human being,
but of moral excellencies of an exquisite beauty—
excellencies which were only extinguished in the
delirium of poverty, abandonment, despair, and
famine ! The other articles are meritorious.

DOLMAN.

There is a good deal of rollicking humour in " The
Adventures of a Schoolboy ;" the contribution is
evidently written by one not very long since emanci-
pated from the forms of Eton or Rugby. The "Mixed
Marriage" is pursued with considerable point in re-
ference to a rather dubitable phase of social morality.
In the biographical paper on the Right lion. Richard
Lalor Sheil—being the fourth instalment of the
series of " Sketches of Irish Agitators"—there is a
somewhat curtailed and confused account of the part
taken by that distinguished orator in the famous
meeting, on the 24th of October, 1828, on Penenden
Heath. Even to the assertion made as to the:manner in
which Mr. Sheil's speech appeared in our own columns,
we can only give a partial corroboration. A new
historiette is commenced with some promise, under
the rather formidable, but attractive title, " The
Golden Age of Merry England ; or, the Days of the
Virgin Queen." The critical notices towards the end
of the number will be peculiarly interesting to the
general reader, and the Catholic intelligence, by
which it is followed, will have its usual value in the
estimation of the subscribers to the magazine.

DOMBEY and SON. No. XVI. By Charles Dickens.
As the heading to the forty-ninth chapter announces
it, " The Midshipman" certainly does make " a dis-
covery." Walter Gay comes back ! safe and sound.
The manner in which Captain Cuttle breaks the
intelligence of his return to Florence is peculiarly
characteristic of that " ancient mariner." Captain
Cuttle, indeed, is the feature of the number. In his
sentimental mood he speaks of Sol Gills's " nevy" men-
tioning Mr Pombey's daughter," with his faceglisten-
ing with doo, like a new blowed rose, at dinner.' In his
more solemn and impressive manner, he recounts the
dangers of the deep, " when you drive, drive, drive
through the storm and dark, as if you was a driving,
head on, to the world without end, evermore, amen,
and when found making a note of." His disap-
pointment when Florence comes out of the haber-
dasher's shop with only a little parcel, instead of
being followed by a porter staggering under a bale
of goods—his wiping his head with the blackened
toast on his hook; in a fit of delirium, when Florence
greets Walter with an embraoe--his log in upon
them like an amiable warming-pan, when they have

Mr. BODKIN said he had the honour to appear or(
behalf of Lord Holland, to move the Court to enroll
the proceedings instituted by his Lordship to divert
the footpath which crosses Holland Park. Upon the
previous occasion when application was made for the
same purpose an objection was taken by the Deputy
Clerk of the Peace, that certain information existed
in the document which should be altered before en-
rolment. Since that time those informalities bad
been rectified, and now nothing remained to be done
but to move that the proceedings should be enrolled.

TEA.—The market is quiet.
TOBACCO.—There was an improved demand for come
descriptions towards the latter part of last month, and
sales rather exceeded 1,250 hhds. The market has
not presented any decided character, excepting that
for selections possessing colour, an advance has
been submitted to ; undoubtedly the prospective
views of importers are, that higher prices will be on-
tained as the season advances, and some of the reasons
assigned are unquestionably deserving consideration ;
but with the present stock, and an average importation,
the consequences assigned of a considerable contraction
by the planters, and the estimated large deficiency to
result from this circumstance, are probably too remote to
have any immediate effect on the market. In taking A
retrospective view of the Tobacco market for the last
twelve months, prices have been subject to a
very trifling fluctuation, whilst almost every other kind
of produce has been seriously depressed. In Virginia,
sales have been 350 hhds., principally of good and fine
qualities; for Ireland and Scotland, at present quo.,
tations, parcels hitherto sampled have been in very good
condition, and superior quality to that of last year's
importation ; there has been more inquiry for ordi-
nary sorts for exportation, and limited sales have
been: effected. In Kentucky leaf and strips, sales
have been 300 hogsheads of leaf and 600 hogsheads
of strips, and in some instances for selections as an
advance on previous rates. The importation itiay be
considered decidedly superior in many respects to that
of last year, the only deficiency being that of colour.
There has been an improved inquiry for mid aid ord
sorts for exportation. Maryland—A few hhds
have been taken at 5d to 6d. In Havannah Leaf a
very limited business has been done, owing to the
reduced stocks of suitable qualities, nearly the
whole of which is in the hands of the trade.
Sales of a few bales have been made at advanced rates.
Havannah Cigars have been in moderate recineat, and
sales difficult to effect. Manilla Cheroots have been ne-
glected, both for home trade and exportation. Cuba
has been in good demand, and a. fair extent of
business has been transacted. In St. Domingo
nothing done ; stock nearly exhausted For Co-
lumbian lea of good and fine quality, the demand
has continued very steady at present quotations. In
Negro-head and Cavendish sales have been to a mode-
rate extent; an improved demand is confidently expected
as the season advances. Stalks are in good demand.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

SHEFFIELD, ROTHERAM, BARNSLEY, WAKE•
FIELD, HUDDERSFIELD AND GOOLE.

An extraordinary general meeting of this company
was held in Wakefield yesterday, for the purpose of ap-
proving the draft-deed of a lease of the above line to
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company; also
for the purpose of modifying the terms of a lease entered
into with the above company in 1847, as regards so much
of this projected line as is situated to the north of the
Barnsley station, including the Silkstone branch. Mr.
John Barff presided.

The CHaiamix proceeded, at great length, to remark
upon the charges which had been from time to time re-
iterated in Herapath's Journal against the chairman
(Mr. E. H. Beaumont) and Mr.' Wentworth. From
those statements it would seem that the journal in ques-
tion had charged them with promoting this Hue with
the view of selling their land at a high price, and,
having accomplished that object, they now sought to
hand over the shareholders to the tender mercies of
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company. He (the Chair-
man) having been on the Land Committee, had no hesi-
tation in saying that such charges were unwarranted by
the facts of, the case. When the line was originally laid
out, a surveyor was appointed on the part of those two
gentlemen, and another on the part of the company; but
the Land Committee were so fully satisfied with the rea-
sonable nature of the claim made on behalf of those gen-
tlemen, that they unanimously recommended its pay-
ment. He (the Chairman) from a knowledge of the
price paid for land on the Great Northern and other
similar lines, did not hesitate to say that the company
had saved several thousands of pounds by the good
feeling displayed towards the company by those two
gentlemen. lfe then explained the terms of the agree-
ment proposed to be entered into with the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Company, the basis of which was that the line
should be open for public traffic and delivered into the
lessees' hands in a working condition on the Ist of
January, 1850. The shareholders were to receive in-
terest at the rate of five per cent. upon the capital ex-
pended in the making of the line, and half the sur-
plus profits. Should the lessees make a second line of
rails the capital thus expended was to be calculated at
the same amount of interest. In answer to inquiries,
the Chairman said that the line would be opened by the
time named in the agreement, and as the contractor's
and minor estimates were already made, allowing for all
contingencies of an ordinary character, the directors felt
confident that the amount of calls required would not
exceed 181. 10s. per share.
The requisite resolutions were then entered into for
leasing the above line on the terms in question, which
were carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman,
and the proceedings terminated.
