TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE
CALED ON lAN RAILWAY COMPANY.
SENTLEMEN,
Will the proposal to create Preference Stock in your Compasy, to
the amount of 745,1801. at length open your eyes to the true cha-
racter of the policy pursued by your Directors?
Will you have the firmness to withstand them, and the courage to
appoint a new Board to reverse the proceedings which have brought
you to this plight, and to nurse your all but ruined enterprise?
I doubt if you will : for Shareholders are generally so supine, and
so much at the mercy of Directors ; but, if you do not, then not one
farthing of dividend will you ever receive, either upon the present
Stock, or upon this proposed Lmaranteed! ! ! (by whom ?) Capital.
Look for a moment at the position of your affairs, as shown by
your own balance-sheets.
Your directors' last account shows that, on the 31st of December,
1847, they had received and expended— •

...v1 One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, Questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
.itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
)f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
asiprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice deraaad that health should form au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
meglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
.liese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
EMOIRS On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
such (by tiost, in stamps, la. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ay misinterpretation, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
r em. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
or the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
:he above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
~gether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
uy post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
.\void," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
.iamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
lie, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
,ervanee of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
:n the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
,lierwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147, Fleet.street ; Mann,
Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-

FRENCH PLAYS.
ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
Last evening, M. Levassor, M. Luguet, and Mdlle.
Scrivaneck made their appearance, in addition to the
strong and attractive company already here. The
pieces performed were Le Docteur Robin, in which
M. Luguet gives a rather droll caricature of our great
David Garrick; Henriette et Chariot, a one act vaude-
ville, divided between M. Lucnet, M. Aleide Tousez, and
Mdlle. Scrivaneck, a very smart young actress, who
looks as well in boy's clothes as her own; Le Lait
d'Anesse, introducing M. Levassor in a most amusing
part, that of a young roué, who pretends to be consump-
tive, in order to be introduced to the establishment of a
doctor, who deals in ass's milk, in order to be near the
latter's pretty wife; and the favourite comical affair of
Las Egarements d'une Cunne et d'un Parapluie, acted
with great spirit by M. Alcide Tousez and Madame
Lemenil. Levassor and Alcide Tousez are men of ex-
traordinary comic genius, and may be seen in very many
parts before the exact bents and bounds thereof are
ascertained.

LYCEUM THEATRE.
Last evening the grand extravaganza of Blue Beard
was revived and performed for the first time at this
theatre with eminent success. We always witness
Planchd's productions with pleasure, because the eye is
always pleased with the brilliancy of the scene without
the ear being in the slightest degree offended by the low
slang, miscalled wit, with which may of the burlesques
of other authors abound. With Planch6 the silvery
shaft of satire never misses the mark aimed at, but
strikes home and there remains, quivering from the force
of its propulsion. Blue Beard was originally produced
at the Olympic Theatre, when under the management of
Madame Vestris, and its production at the Lyceum
bids fair to eclipse its former success. Mr. F. Matthews
sustained the part of Baron Abomelique, "surnamed
Blue Beard, a celebrated lady-killer, who has obligingly
uudertaken on this particular occasion to sing his own
march," with much fun and humour. H. Hall, as
O'Shack O'Back, was very good, and Selby, as Joli
Cceur, acquitted himself with his usual excellence.
Miss Fitzwilliam, as Fleurette, deserves our warmest
praise, her singing was really beautiful, particularly the
parody on the celebrated air from Robert the Devil, and
" While pensive I thought of my love," which was sung
with so much taste as to merit an encore. The other
sister, Anne, was sustained by Miss J. Coleman with
much ability. This young lady also possesses a sweet
voice, and sang the music allotted to her very prettily.
Miss L. Marshall as Margot, who appeared for the first
time here last evening, was very pleasing. We also had
some very graceful dancing by Mr. and Miss Marshall,
which was much applauded. The scenery and dresses,
we need scarcely add, were magnificent. This revival
has also proved a hit. The house was crowded.
