MONMOUTHSHIRE RAILWAY.

The first general meeting of this Company, after re-
ceiving their Act, was held yesterday, at one o'clock, at
the Company's offices, 2, Moorgate-street.
The Hon. W. E. FITZMSURICE having taken the
chair, called on the Secretary to read the advertisement
convening the meeting.
The SECRETARY then read the report of tb.z committee
of management. Ater congratulatie.g. the proprietors
on obtaining their Act of Parliaent, which received the
royal assent on the 13th of August last, it referred to
the present state and the future prospects of the Corn-
war. One of the objects with which they had started
was the purchs,se of the Monmouthshire Canal Company,
which, besides its own course, had a connexion with
some fifty or sixty miles of tramway travelling
throughout the district. This canal had been pur-
chased by the committee at 2001. a share; and the traffic
on it was such'already as to guarantee to the company at
least 3 per cent.; but, beside-4 this, the tramways already
alluded to, and the Newport and Pontypool Railway,
afforded every prospect of a greater development of
traffic, more espe'zially to the north, to Liverpool,
Birkenhead, an.d other manufacturing towns in that
district—a evAntry the railway travelled through, and
which had sever yet been opened up. Among the conditions
of purchase it was left to the Canal Company to take
shares in the railway in lieu of the purchase money, to
the amount of 2,080 shares, which if taken, being viewed
as paid upon in full, would reduce the amount to be paid
to the Cantl Company by about 52,0001. The Canal
Company had not yet given n, 'tic° of the number of
shares vehich it might be their intention to take, and
therefore the committee could not inform the proprie-
tors what some fur the purchase would have actually to
be paid.
The CHAIRMAN, when the report had been read, said,
on that occasion he had little more to state than what
he had said before—that he had great confidence in this
railway as a good line, and his confidence since he had
last met them was greatly increased. The sources
whence he drew that he would shortly state to
them. The Monmouthshire Canal, which they had
purchased, returned an increase of income last
year of 10,0001., and that included no passenger
traffic. It should be also remembered that wages were
nowhere so high as in the district through which the
canal passed. In Taff Vale alone, without any passenger
traffic, there had been an increase of 10,0001. in one
year ; of course, then, it was to be expected that the
Monmouthshire line would yield very much more.
Another consideration should not be lost sight of, that
hithertoMonmouthshire had only cultivated the sea traffic,
the exports and imports by sea ; but the inland
trade would be opened up, and developed by the various
lines in connexion with this Company, up to Liverpool,
Birkenhead, and even Hereford, whence a large increase
might be looked for. Situated as they were he had
already had overtures made to him; these were not in a
state sufficiently advanced that he could state to the
meeting the nature of them, or their probable result; but
he would express the assurance he felt that large compa-
nies would look upon this line as of great importance, and
heanticipatedan alliance with other extensivecompanies.
He then moved that the report read be adopted, and the
directors authorised to take such measures with the
Monmouthshire Canal Company and others, as they
might deem necessary to promote the interests of the
proprietors.

constructing a railway_from 4:fie Greenwich Railway,
through Woolwich, tiravesend, and Rochester, to
Chilham, v`ftic'n is the South-Eastern North Kent
Railway. This
3d August 811 received the royal assent on the
but with powers only to construct that
of the railway between Greenwich and Graves-
end, from whence it is continued to Rochester over the
Gravesend and Rochester Railway. On the same day
the Bill authorising the purchase of the Gravesend and
Rochester line by the South-Eastern Company received
the royal assent.
"The South-Eastern North Kent Bill passed the
House of Commons after a very severe contest, and
was before a Committee of the Lords, when arrange-
ments were made with the rival North Kent Company
to withdraw all further opposition to the South-
Eastern Company ; and the South-Eastern Company
purchased the plans of the North Kent Company, and
part of the estate of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, through
which the South-Eastern North Kent line passes, for
the sum of 30,0001.
" The engineers are now staking out the North
Kent line. The Directors have every reason to believe
that the North Kent line will be open for traffic from
London to Rochester within twelve months from the
present time.
" The Mid Kent line, which was a direct line from
London to Tunbridge, and London to Maidstone and
Ashford, shortening the distance to Tunbridge 9 miles;
to Maidstone 21 miles, and to Ashford, Folkestone, and
Dover, 13 miles, received the sanction of the House of
Commons; but the directors regret to say that it was re-
jected by the Committee of the House of Lords. The
importance of cutting off the angle at Reigate, and
giving the most direct communication to London for the
continental traffic, is under the anxious consideration of
the directors.
" The engineers of the Company are engaged in tak-
ing a fresh survey of the country; and circumstances
have occurred which induce the directors to believe that
they shall be able to submit to the proprietors and Par-
liament an improved line for effecting the important
objects in view.
" The directors feel bound to acknowledge the great
advantage which the South-Eastern Railway has re•
ceived from the punctual service of the steam-ships of
the South-Eastern and Continental Steam-packet Com
pang between Folkestone and Boulogne.
" The passage has been made each way in two hours
daily, without the slightest intermission; and the har-
bour of Folkestone is so much improved by the works in
progress there, that the advantage of a double service
each tide between the two ports may be anticipated al-
most immediately.
" Since the opening of the branch to Ramsgate on
the 13,:h of April, the service between Ramsgate and
Ostend has been performed daily with equal punctuality.
" The Acts that have been obtained last session, give
the Company power to raise 2,978,900/. by shares and
loans.
" This power the directors propose that the Company
shall exercise, by declaring that 285,000 of the shares
authorised to be issued under the resolutions of the
special general meeting of the 11th of September, 1845,
and known as the No. 4 shares, shall be third shares,
71. 10s. remaining to be paid on each ; that the further
instalments to be paid on those shares shall not exceed
H. ss. each, with an interval of not less than three
months between each instalment ; and that the holders
of the No. 4 shares shall be entitled to the advantage of
any further issue of shares which may hereafter take
place for the purpose of completing any portion of the
projects for which the No. 4 capital was intended, up to
the amount which such shares would have represented if
they had remained half shares.
"It is necessary to issue bonds to the amount of
279,000/., at five years' date, and bearing interest at the
rate of 31 per cent. per annum, to complete the settle-
ment for the purchase of the Gravesend and Rochester
Railway, 31,0001. having been already paid in cash.
The directors also propose to receive authority from
the proprietors to issue bonds for 121,000/., under
powers contained in their Acts.
" The directors beg leave to convey their thanks to
the proprietors for the support received from them
during the Parliamentary contest, and to assure them
that nothing that they can do shall be wanting to pro-
mote efficiency and economy in the working of the rail-
way, and to attain those advantages to gain which so
much labour and capital have been expended."
The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to say, that the labour
and money the proprietors had expended in construct-
ing these railways would have been spent in
vain, if they had not attained their object—a
profit on their total outlay. It was true that the
account just furnished to the meeting did not
exhibit an amount of money at their disposal which
was commensurate with the capital they had embarked,
or the arduous struggle in which they had been en-
gaged.—(Hear.) But he had different expectations
for the coming half-year. In the meantime the directors
had recommended the dividend to be declared that day,
chiefly from the consideration that at their next meeting
for the same purpose they would be in a position to de-
clare a greater one. Although, however,' he acknow-
ledged that the returns of money were far from satisfac-
tory, yet he was hopeful that their next accounts would
show a great increase on the opening of the conti-
nental railways. During the past year the average rates
of fares per mile was only lid., how then could it be ex-
pected that the railway should pay? They had
made the trial, and it had failed ; they
were therefore justified in retracing their steps.
He was happy to say that during the last week (al-
though only days were taken), as compared with the
corresponding week of last year, that there was an in-
crease in their traffic of not less than 4,0001. He had
now to request their attention to the proceedings of the
Company during the last session of Parliament. The
Chairman then shortly adverted to the lines which had
been passed, and to those which It la been unsuccessful,
and concluded by moving the P..doption of the report.
Lord ToRRLNGToN, in seconding the adoption of the
report, said that they had no doubt lately read in the
leading journals of the country very stringent
articles on the ce,oduA of the Company in raising
the fares of the line. He (Lord Torring-
ton) respected the press as much as any man,
but he did regret that the writers for these periodicals,
without looking irito the facts, and without making in-
quiries tit° the circumstances, should make such state-
rnerAs. Ile regretted that they should have opened
attacks without strong and serious grounds on
which to base the assertion that these attacks were just
and right. How stood the case ? Was it not the fact
that the fares of the South-Eastern Company would bear
comparison for cheapness with any other line in Eng-
land ? and when it was considered that the ac-
commodation given by them to the public was greater
than that given by any other company--when it
was considered that they ran third-class trains
five times a day, while their neighbours limited
that class to one or at most two a day, he thought that
when all these facts were maturely considered, they
would justify the Company in the eyes of the proprietors
and of the public generally. These were the facts, and
any one who took the trouble to inquire would find that
they were fully borne out.—(Hear, hear.) If these
charges were just, then, indeed, he admitted that the di-
rectors of that Company would be unworthy of the trust
reposed in them; but he could say for himself, as well as
for his brother directors, that as long as he had
to do with the Company, he wished to reduce
the fares to as low a rate as possible, con-
sistent with the interests of the proprietors.—(Hear.)
When they made that great reduction in the fares on
the Ist September, 1345, it was made at the expense of
the proprietors, and the public had now no reason to
complain. They bad shown to the world at large, and
the county of Kent in particular, that these excessively
low fares could not be maintained, because they could
not be with due attention to the interests
of the shareholders. But they had not raised
the, fares in every case ; they had only
regulated them—(Hear, hear)—and they,would find that
with reference to one class of carriages there was an even
fare of ld. per mile over the railway. If Parliament had
thought proper to throw out their schemes for giving a
more direct line than now existed to some of the towns
of Kent, thereby shortening the distance, it was not fair
that the public should expect that they should be carried
round twenty one miles, or as it might be, for nothing.
The Company had to pay a heavy toll to the Croydon
company for the first fourteen miles of their distance,
and they therefore reaped no advantage in the shape of
profit from that. But was the objection against their
circuitous line a tenable one ? Did the Great Western

- The Hon. I. H. KNox seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
William E. Snow, Esq., and John Allan, sen., Esq.,
were appointed auditors to the Company, at a remune-
ration of ten guineas each.
Resolutions also were severally moved and passed,
electing the nine members of the committee of manage-
ment to be directors of this Company, and allocating
6001. per aanum for their remuneration, exclusive of
travelling expenses ; and 300/. a year as., the salary of
the secretary of the Company.
Mr.. CHAPMAN, one of the directors, in making a
statement of the cash accounts of the Company said,
as they stood at that moment, that statement could
not be very definite; but be this as it might, the propne-
tors, he was sure,would fdel that the) had a bonafidescherne,
not great in the world, but great, most certainly, in the
railway world. A gentleman who had taken 100 shares
in the Newport and Pontypool Company said to him
the other day that if they would not meddle with their
line for a twelvemonth, he was sure a company, which
he could not name in that meeting, would give them
la a share premium for it. Mr. Chapman thn stated
that the receipts from deposits paid up, and exclusive of
shares taken by the Canal Company, were 25,0471., and
that the prelhninary expenses would be somewhere
about 13,0001.
The Hoh, I. 11. KNOX then moved a vote of thanks to
the directors for their past energy and zeal in the affairs
of the company, and to the chairman for his conduct on
that occasion.

Mr. SNow, in seconding this resolution, said,
that baying been a shareholder in the Canal
Company, he thought a property which had
stood in the market at from 2001, to 2121, was
surely worth 2001. to a railway company, although at
that time it was at 160/. to 170/. in the market. He was
aware further, that the canal, from the want of powers
in their Act, and from the want of capital, never could
have developed the traffic of the country. It was espe-
cially a country for railways ; there was the iron
they needed, and the best coals for making
coke. Newport, to which their line extended, was
also rapidly rising in importance, its capacities
for trade were as yet unknown; and it was worth know-
ing that this line, from the mines down to the port, was
all a declivity, so that they had only to set their
waggons in motion to carry them to their destination.
Thus engines were at the lower terminus to bring them
back, and there would bc., less back traffic from the port
to the mines' motvaa. Considering all things, he had the
greatest hopes of success, and at least five per cent. by
means of the canal was already guaranteed them.
The motion was unanimously carried.
The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the honour, and the
meeting then adjourned.

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.
The twentieth half-yearly general meeting of the
proprietors in this Company was held yesterday, at one
o'clock, in the large room, London-bridge Station, to
take into consideration the general business of the
Company.
The meeting was most numerously attended. The
advertisement convening the meeting having been read,
and also one calling a meeting for special purposes,
The common seal of the Company was then affixed to
the registry of proprietors.
The :3ECRETARY then read the report, from which we
make the following extracts :
" The accounts of the South-Eastern Railway Com-
pany for the half-year ending on the 31st July, 1846,
show, that the gross receipts of the Company on traffic
account have amounted, during that period, to 193,0581.
13s. 10d.; that the working expenses have been 62,726/.
Bs.; the rent of the Greeenwich Railway and Whitstable
Railway, 19,9121. los.•' the rates, Government duty, and
toll to the Croydon Company, 23,968/. 175.; making
together the expenditure on revenue account, 106,607?,.
155., and the balance carried to the account of profit and
loss, 86,450/. 183. 10d.; the profit and loss aceoun't shows
an amount at the disposal of the proprietors of 70,545/.
7s. 2d.

" The amount received for passenger traffic during the
half--year, on the South-Eastern lt3iiway, exclusive of
the Greenwich branch, is 119,4911. Ir:is. 7d., of which
45432/. 7s. 7d. has been paid by 100,979 first-class pas-
sengers, 44,9561. 10s. Bd. by 239,999 second-class pas-
sengers, and 28,805/. 12s, 4d. by 387,629 third-class
passengers.
" A comparison with the corresponding half-year of
1845 shows au increase, during the last half-year of
29,313/. 6s. 2d. in receipt, and of 37,653 first class, 87,712
second class, and 271,068 third class in number, in all
397,333; but the mileage travelled over has been greatly
increased by the opening of the Tunbridge Wells branch
and of the line from Ashford to Canterbury and Rams-
gate.
" The amount per mile per week earned in 1845" was
greater than that earned during the last half-year, not-
withstanding the increase in the amount received and of
the number of persons carried.
" This fact made it incumbent on the directors to re-
consider the scale of passenger fares, and to adjust them
as seemed reasonable after the experience gained on a
trial of twelve months at the greatly reduced rates.
" The rate that has been adopted since the Ist Sep-
tember instant is 2 75-100 d. per passenger per mile by
the express, trains, and by ordinary trains 2 25.100 d.
for the first class, 1 65-100 d. for second class, and ld.
for third class—a scale of rates which will bear compa-
rison with that of the principal railways, and one which,
combined with the great accommodation which the
South-Eastern Company affords to first, second, and
third-class passengers, will be found to be just and
reasonable.
" The comparison of last half-year with the corre-
sponding half-year of 1815, shows an increase of 81,695
persons carried over the Greenwich branch within that
period, and there is an increase of the earnings on this
branch of 1,5891. 6s. 10d.
" The merchandise account has yielded 21,557/. 9d.
during the last half-year, which exceeds by 3,666/. 18s.
the amount earned in the corresponding half of last
year.
" The directors are enabled to state that the locomo-
tive department has been conducted in an efficient man-
ner ; and that the time book shows that the trains have
been worked with as much punctuality as any railway
has yet been able to attain.
" The Maidstone branch was opened with a double
line of rails in May last, and it has since then been
worked with much more ease and accommodation to the
public in connexion with the main line.
" The Ashford, Canterbury, and Ramsgate line was
opened on the 13th of April, and the extension to Mar-
gate is expected to be opened for traffic in the course of
the present month.
" The Canterbury and Whitstable branch, after being
relaid with heavier rails, was opened as a locomotive
line in April last. The change from stationary to loco-
motive power has proved economical ; and more traffic
has been carried than could have been conveyed by the
stationary engines.
" The extension of the Tunhridge Wells branch, from
the temporary station at Jackswood Spring into Tun-
bridge Wells, will be opened within a month. The tun-
nel is completed, and the station buildings are nearly
finished.
" The -directors expect that the Minster and Deal
branch lei,' be opfr.,(l for traffic in the preseet year.
" The eleetric telegrvh was opened for the public use
on the lq ins'., at a scale of charges which have been
published, ant which are preporticeed to the length of
the messsze and the distance which it is conveyed.
"The Let general mef fing of the South-Eastern Com-
pany was held on the 16th of May, and at that meeting
the proprietors approved of eleven Bills, which were

give a direct communication to the people of Exeter ?
and if not, did they abolish the extra fare for goods and
passengers ? He thought that the conduct of the di-
rectors had been marked by prudence, and was entitled
to their support ; and he would, therefore, with plea-
sure second the adoption of the report.
Mr. D. SALOMONS said, that although agreeing almost
entirely with the report, there was still one paragraph to
which, before putting the question, he would wish
briefly to advert—that was the one which had reference
to the raising of the fares upon the line. The
Noble Lord had, with reference to this very
paragraph, thrown out a sort of challenge, namely, with
regard to the lowness of the fares in the county of Kent.
The Noble Lord might be aware that this subject had
already kindled a flame in that county which could not
be but most injurious to the interests of the Com-
pany and of the shareholders : an universal dis-
content prevailed in consequence of the manner
in which the fares had been regulated. Taking
the fares under the new regulation, they found
that they were collected lineally and not diagonally, that
was, be the length of the line, and nt,t by a direct or
geographical distance from place tei place. The Noble
Lord said that they went twenty miles round. He (Mr.
Salemons) knew it, and it was, therefore, before agreed
by the Company that the fares should be collected geo-
graphically, and not lineally.—(Hear, hear.) He
trusted that the directors would yet see reason to
retrace their steps, and so satisfy the public expectation.
The county of Kent had declared against their present
proceedings. He held in his hand resolutions expres-
sive of this opinion that had been passed in the city of
Canterbury, and other parts of the district were getting
up similar meetings. The first question he would ask
the proprietors would be, " Can it be to your interest
to injure yourselves in the next session of Parliament,
by enlisting against you the opposition of a rich county
like Kent?" Could any one believe that the Company
would be supported in the next session? They might,
perhaps, imagine, from the speech of the Noble Lord,
that the fares had been universally and in the same de-
gree increases'. It was not so. 'Where there had been
a longer distance by road than by railway, and where
the traffic by the former mode of conveyance was the
cheaper, the Company had reduced their fares ; but it
was only to greatly increase them where the road was
the longest. On the Ist September last they had adopted
the lineal mode of calculation, for surely it would be
too bad to do, as they now proposed doing, to charge
the inhabitants of Maidstone an extra price for the pri-
vilege of conveying them 21 miles round. Ile protested
against the late proceedings of the directors ; he pro-
tested because the opinion of the proprietors bad not

been asked at all—(Hear, hear)—and he thought the ,
least that could be granted was, that at that meeting
they shculd have the opportunity of ,!xpressing (before
the report was carrried) their assent or disapproval.
On t word before he sat down there was no
foundation for the reports which had been so industri-
ously circulated, that the locomotive arrangements of
the Company were most irregular and uncertain. He
was happy to bear his testimony to the fact, that, with
the exception of a few irregularities unavoidable under
some circumstances, there had been nothing to complain
of in this department. He besought the directors to re-
scind their late resolution with respect to fares ;
he assured them that the course they had adopted
was most injurious to the reputation of the Company.—
(Loud cries of " No, no," " Yes, yes," and great con-
fusion.) He repeated that such a course was most in-
jurious—(Increased confusion)—most injurious to the
reputation of the Company, and the opinions of the
county of Kent would confirm his statement.—(Hear.)
He would move an amendment, that the proprietors
agree to the report with the exception of the particular
paragraph which referred to the increase of the rates
of fares.

The CHAIRMAN said that he had looked into the
report, and he could see nothing in the paragraph which
called upon the shareholders to affirm the decision of
the directors. They had, by virtue of the trust reposed
in them, altered the rates of fares, and there
was, therefore, no necessity for the shareholders
to record a vote in their favour in this
particular. He thought that the one fact mentioned in
their report was conclusive as to the propriety of regu-
lating the fares, he meant that paragraph which stated
that, with a vastly increased passenger traffic, the amount
was less per mile than by their former system.
The London and North-Western Railway had been held
up as a pattern for all railways. He trusted that as re-
garded the dividend to be declared, they (the South-
Eastern) would soon imitate their example--(Cheers)—
but he hoped that Company would never adopt as a pat-
tern the conduct of a company which sent only third-
class carriages once a day.—(Hear, hear.) He thought
that the inhabitants of the county of Kent had good
reason to think the South-Eastern Company their
friends, they having spent no less than five millions of
money among them.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. JENNINGS rose to support Mr. Salomons' amend-
ment, and in a long speech deprecated the policy pursued
by the Company.
The report was then put and carried almost unani-
mously.
Mr. SALOMONS said he would give the shareholders
present an opportunity of recording their opinions by
entering the following notice on the minutes :—" That
in adopting this report the meeting does not intend to
pass any opinion on the increase of fares."

After a -desultory discussion on some points of lesser
interest, the remaining resolutions (all of theca being in
accordance with the report) were carried.
The dividend declared was 17s. per share on the paid-
up shares, and 8s 6d. and ss. hi. on those lately created.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the
meeting adjourned.

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EX-
TENSION, NORTHAMPTON, DAVENTRY,
LEAMINGTON, AND WARWICK RAILWAY

COMPANY.

Thee second and final meeting of the shareholders in
this company took place yesterday, at the Hall of Com-
merce. The object of the meeting was to ascertain the
opinion of the proprietors, as to whether the company
should be dissolved• or not, and it was rendered neces-
sary in consequence of there not being at the last meet •
ing a sufficient number of votes present legally to con-
stitute it.

Mr. POCOCK took the chair shortly after one o'clock,
when the secretary appointed at the last meeting pro-
ceeded to take the votes that were not tendered then.
The CHAIRMAN, before announcing the numbers, in-
quired whether any of the directors were present, and
whether they were desirous of giving any information to
the shareholders.

Mr. normNs and Mr. MORRISON, two of the directors,
stated that they were willing to give any information in
their power to the shareholders.
Mr. BLURTON wished to know how it was that the
directors had refused to call a meeting, and had not laid
the accounts of the company before the shareholders.
Mr. HOPKINS said that proceedings had been taken in
Chancery against the company, and until that was
arranged, it was impossible satisfactorily to make up the
accounts.

The CHAIRMAN wished to know whether the direc-
tors would be willing, provided a committee of the
shareholders was appointed, to afford the shareholders
all the information they required ?
Mr. HOPKINS, for himself, saw no reason why any
objection should be made to the adoption of such a
WO urse.

The CHAIRMAN wished to know whether the directors
had come to any resolutions upon the subject ?
Mr. HOPKINS said that it had been the subject of con-
sideration with them, but they had come to no specific
resolution on the subject.
The CHAIRMAN was desirous of knowing whether Mr.
Hopkins and the other directors present would pledge
themselves to give a committee of the shareholders, if
appointed, all the information in their power ?
Mr. HOPKINS said that as far as he was concerned,
every information should be given.
Mr. MORRISON, another director, was willing to adopt
the same course. He was' willing to bear his part of any
expenses that had been incurred through mismanage-
ment. The engineer had received 12,0001., the solici-
tor 6,0001., and several other sums had been expended.
A long and personal discussion took place, which
ended in nothing; after which,
The CHAIRMAN stated that there were more voters
present than were sufficient to constitute a meeting, but
as it was necessary to ascertain that no parties had
voted twice, it was not competent for him then to dis-
solve the meeting. It was sufficient for him to say that
the majority was in favour of a dissolution of the com-
pany without bankruptcy.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the
meeting broke up.
Subsequently Messrs. Pocock, Lewis, Davis, Courtenay,
Cohen, and Smith, were appointed a committee to meet
the directors.

WONDMIFUL PERtORMANCES
OF THE RABBI HERSII DA NNEJIARK.
OA Monday evening; Professor Rabbi Hersh Danne-
mark gave an exhibition Of his a marvellous powers of
sight and memory," in the Ilehrevt, sdheol, St. Mary's-
street. In the small circulars which were issued, the
rabbi professed to be able, " looking at any Hebrew
book, never before shown him, after the number of i.;;
page and line had been pointed out to him, without open-
ing the book, to read the passage occurring on the page
and line." It was also stated that he would exhibit other
powers of sight bordering on the marvellous and super-
natural. In order to test this occult power, there was
(notwithstanding the high charges for admission of ss.
and 2s. 6d.) a large number of persons present, among
whom we observed Mr. Braid, Mr. D Noble, surgeon ;
Mr. J. A. Franklin, surgeon ; Mr. William Bally, Col.
Wemyss, Mr. Alderman Bancroft, Mr. J. P. Lynill, Mr.
Lucas, &c. For the purpose of his experiments the
rabbi had five of the thirty-six large volumes of the
Talmud, in the Hebrew text, with Chaldaic commentary
on each side, which had been lent to him by Mons.
Theodore, professor of languages, Upper Brook-street.
Mr. Israel Levi having been appointed chairman and in-
terpreter, the rabbi, through him, intimated his wish
that the audience would allow him to go through the
exhibition in his own way, without speaking or ques-
tioning him upon any subject. They would be allowed
to draw their own conclusions, but they were not to
mention them to their neighbours, as it might cause a
disturbance which would be injurious to the brain of the
rabbi. He would go through all stated in the bill, but
nothing else. The rabbi having expressed a desire that
a Hebrew book should be handed to him, Mr. Braid said
he thought it would be satisfactory to the company, and
to the credit of the rabbi, if he would at once perform
an experiment, which would show him to be fossessed
of the extraordinary power named, such as reading at
that part of a book where the page had been doubled
down. He then produced a Hebrew psalter, with an in-
terlinear English translation, which he put into the
hands of the rabbi. He professed to be able, if a pin
were stuck through a number of pages of any Hebrew
book, to recite the words on which th point rested; but
Mr. Braid objected to putting the pin through the book
in a perpendicular manner, as there were many pages on
which it might be said the point of the pin rested, so
that it would be impossible to determine which in re-
ality was the proper one. Instead of that, he proposed
to fasten the pin horizontally on one of the leaves, to
close the book, and then ask the rabbi to tell the word
which was pointed ; butt his he declined to do, as it was
not in the bill. Mr. Braid then, according to the rabbi's
instructions, put his finger on the eover of the psalter,
and asked the rabbi to tell him the word at a point on
page 56, corresponding to the situation of his finger.
The book, however, was opened at that page, though
nut directly in presence of the rabbi, before he to4l what
words would be found there. He stated that on page 56,
under the doctor's finger, would be found a Hebrew
word, signifying " from the wicked." On opening the
book, the word was found on that page, though about an
inch from the point indicated by Mr. Baird. This first
exhibition was received with great applause. A volume
of the Talmud was then produced, and a number of gen-
tlemen were requested each to select a particular page,
the first words of the first line of which the rabbi would
tell them, without opening the book. Page 100 was first
selected, and the rabbi stated that in the first line would
be found characters signifying "he who exchanges,"
which, on examination, proved to be the case. The book
remaining open at page 100, a gentleman asked for the
first word on page 80. This, the rabbi said, would be
three large characters, the translation of which was,
" he who hireth:" and he also stated that there would
be two lines more in that page than in the one which was
then open. All this was found to be so, and was con-
sequently received with great acclamation. Still it af-
forded no illustration of the " inexplicable and appa
rently wonderful supernatural powers of sight," to which
the rabbi lays claim. Admitting his wonderful memory,
which it would be folly to question, it is not at all diffi-
cult to imagine that he may have made himself familiar
with the first words of every page of the Talmud, and
their distinguishing features, hence the surprising re-
sults. It might have been observed, that before com-
mencing his experiments the rabbi opened the book, and
thus had an opportunity of making himself acquainted
with the particular volume which he had to operate upon.
Let a Hebrew volume be produced which he has not had
an opportunity of seeing before ; let the experiment be
repeated, and on no account let the rabbi open the
volume till he has answered the questions put to him as
to the words which will be found on particular pages ; if
the result in that case be the same, there will be some-
, thing more inexplicable and nearer the supernatural
than at present. The rabbi next requested a gentle-
man to read a verse or two from a small Hebrew book
with a German translation, which he put into his hands,
and stating that he could repeat the lines which were
read to himself in silence by the gentleman. He did so,
but in this case he opened the book himself, so that he
had an opportunity of seeing the page, and he also in-
sisted on the person reading the first lines of the page—
again displaying, not only an occult power, but his sur-
prising memory. Mr. Bancroft underscored a few words
in a Hebrew book, at d requested the rabbi, if his
powers of sight were so extraordinary, to tell him, by
looking at the book, the words that were underlined.
As this was not "in the bond," the rabbi declined to
venture on the experiment ; indeed, he confessed his in-
ability to do so. A piece of paper was placed before
the rabbi, closely written upon, and he was requested to
tell the number of lines it contained. In about 30 se-
conds, according to a gentleman's watch, he said 84 or
86, and being counted it was found to contain 84. This
may, perhaps, display a rather quick sight, but cer-
tainly nothing superhuman. The whole exhibition did
not display a single extraordinary faculty but that of
memory. In the rabbi, that is certainly astonishing ;
but till future experiments convince us to the contrary,
we must conceive that, on the strength of that, he rather
unwarrantably endeavours to induce his audience to sup-
pose him gifted with some " apparently wonderful" su-
perhuman and occult power.—Manchester Guardian.

FRANCE AND SPAIN.
(From El Espectador.)
The policy of France is recorded in our contempt),
raneous history in mournful pages. Immense evils have
invaded us from the other side of the Pyrenees ; twice
has the liberty of the Peninsula expired in the hands of
France ; for years and years has our nationality been
absorbed by the influence of the Tuileries ; our despots
have consta;,* received all their inspirations from the.
Court of the Seine, ana when this occurs—when the
Spanish'people know that it occurs—French diplomacy
dares to present a French candidate for the hand of the
Queen's sister, as if the Queen and her sister were
capable of placing themselves in open hostility
towards the opinion of a country which has lavished for
them its treasures and its blood ; as if the Queen and
her sister were unaware that the injuries which the Spa-
nish nation has received from France, must per force
have left in all parts of the country profound wounds and
inextinguishable resentments. No ; amongst all the
matrimonial candidates whom the foreigner can com-
bine for the purpose of destroying our nationality, none
is so utterly repugnant as a French Prince. What
matters it that the rulers of our unfortunate country
level the Pyrenees to the policy of France, govern with-
out any inspiration of their own, and consent to retain no
more vitality than what France lends them, and no more
ideas than what France imposes upon them? Reminis-
cences have raised other Pyrenees more inacessible than
those levelled by our rulers. Saragossa is one chain of
Pyrenees ; Gerona, another ; the 2d of May, another!
—Will our Afraneesad as be able to level these Pyrenees?
But it is not the animosities engendered during the
War of Independence which principally mark the fron-
tier which separates us from France. These animosities
would have died away, -had not new and continued
injuries been perpetrated to exasperate them afresh.
The wounds which our nationality had received would
have eventually healed up, had not fresh assaults torn
them open again when they were already on the point of
being cicatrized. France has always been our enemy;
the same when she threatened us with an armed in-
vasion, as when she discovered her covetous looks under
the veil of fraternal friendship. The same when she
sent us her soldiers, as when she sent us her advice; and
she has assuredly cost us fewer sacrifices by her baronets
than by the exotic principles which she has sought, in
spite of us, to acclimate on our soil.
France has always been our enemy, and it is certainly
repugnant to our ideas to have to express ourselves in
this manner in reference to a nation which has, more
than any other, bequeathed heroic deeds to the history
of liberty. " No, France is not your enemy," we shall,
perhaps, be answered by those who reject in France the
system of lies which oppresses them as we reject it in
Spain. "France is not your enemy ; the country which
gave birth to Voltaire and a reception to Rousseau—the
country of Mirabeau and Manuel, of A. Carrel and La-
fayette—the country which has given for apostles of
liberty such men as a Dupoty and a Lamenatus, cannot
be the enemy of those who, with less force and talent,
but with equal zeal and constancy, oppose the tyranny
of man over man, profess the sacred principle of the
sovereignty of the people, and anxiously hope that the
world may become rejuvenescent, and recover new life
under the beneficent rays of the sun of liberty. No,
France is not your enemy, nor can France be, the enemy
of Spain. In the nineteenth century there aro no such
things as hostile nations. It is not France, 0 miserable
Spain ! that opposes the development of your felicity
and the reconquest of your rights ; it is her Govern-
ment—perhaps her dynasty ; but nothing but her
Government and her dynasty."
Yes, it is true, we will reply, it is nothing but her
Government, nothing but her dynasty ; but they are all
dynasties and Governments. Napoleon, that is, the
empire, crosses the Pyrenees, enters Spain, penetrates
the fastnesses under friendly pretences, and forthwith
intimates his will to us from the heights of the ramparts,
with the cannon on the batteries and match in hand,
and says to us, " You are mine." Spain is filled with
corpses. Napoleon falls. The Bourbons recover their
throne in France. During their reign, Spain, weary of
suffering, makes a desperate effort, breaks her chains,
and a sanguinary struggle is established between new
ideas and old musty prejudices. The liberals are aban-
doned to their own strength. With all this, the enthu-
siasm is great, and the -triumph secure ; already is the
balance turning in their favour, when Louis XVIII.,
that is to say, absolutism, flings 100,000 soldiers into
the opposite scale, and the ancient system is triumphant!
Spain is filled with scaffolds. At a later period the re-
volution of 1830 hurls the Bourbons from the territories
of France, and an Orleans occupies the vacant throne.
He occupies it constitutionally.
French absolutism gave to Ferdinand VII. bayonets
to destroy the constitution ; but French constitution-
alism does not give the Liberals of Spain bayonets to
destroy absolutism. Ferdinand VII. dies ; Isabella 11.
finds a support in the constitutionalists, in order to
triumph over Don Carlos, who disputes the throne with
the assistance of the absolutists. The cause of Don
Carlos is that of absolutism ; and Louis Philippe, that
is to say, constitutionalism, only combats it-in appear-
ance ; and whilst he offers Isabella 11. his sympathies,
the 'Spanish Liberals have opportunity to remark that
the cannons and mortars which pour death and destruc-
tion upon heroic Bilboa are of French construction 1
The absulutists are divided and debilitated ; they are
already unable to dispute the victory with the Liberals ;
and, in their desperate situation, they put an end to the
war by means of a convention. This convention is a de-
cisive victory for the Liberals. Liberty remains tri-
umphant in the plains of Bergara. In spite of this,
liberty succumbs after having overthrown Don Carlos.
It succumbs in the hands of a faction inspired by France
—by a faction that M. Guizut himself designates by the
fraternal qualification of " French party ;" it succumbs to
the mephitic influences of France. With all this, it is
not France which has entailed upon us all the evils which
we have just enumerated ; it is her Government, her
dynasty ! Yes, it is her Government—it is her dynasty
--We allow ; but, we repeat, all are her Governments, all
are her dynasties—the ethpire, absolutism and constitu-
tionalism, Napoleou—Bourbon, and Orleans.
And'since it is not lawful for us to accuse a nation of
the fatal influences which its Government exercises over
another, let us nevertheless be allowed, on the marriage
qubition, to separate the cause of France from the per-
sonal cause of Louis Philippe. We reject the candidate
which the latter presents us for the hand of one of the
daughters of Ferdinand, not as Spaniards, but as Pro-
gresistas. The present situation is insupportable, and
this situation would be perpetuated, if, unfortunately fir
the country, the candidate of Louis Philippe should
prove triumphant.

POLYTECHNIC LNSTITUTION.
A few days since a party of foreign scientific gentle-
men met at this establishment for the purpose of expe-
rimenting by the aid of the gigantic hydro-electric
machine.
In order to give our readers some idea of the powers
of the hydro- electric, we must remind them of the di-
mensions of the colossal plate machine of the Polytechnic.
That apparatus, unrivalled as a plate, is seven feet in
diameter, producing sparks of great size, and of danger..
ous power, capable of charging a surface of 90 square
feet in one minute. The hydro-electric, however,
charges the same extent of surface twelve times per
minute, and produces continuous sparks eighteen inches
in length. When in full action, in fact, it gives no
inapt representation of a violent thunder storm.
The rush of the steam through so many metallic tubes,
the noise of the discharges, and the rapid flashes of light,
might well alarm the spectator, did not the easy and self-
possessed manner of the director and his assistants prove
how completely the monster is under the command of
human skill. It is, however, a spectacle of much
grandeur, and calculated to elevate our views of human
intelligence and power, for here a man without rashness
of empiricism, or the wild-daring of ignorance, has, by
the aid of philosophy, been able to create a thunder-
storm. Nor in using these expressions would we for a
moment be supposed to intimate that the spectacle is all
that the directors of the Polytechnic wish to accomplish.
They have higher and nobler views—their object is to
point out the available resources of science in preventing
the dangerous consequences of electric atmospheric dis-
charges, and thus to disabuse the mind of its blind and
slavish fear. Among the eminent and scientific gentle-
men, we observed the veteran electrician Professor
Ohrsted, of Copenhagen, Professor Matteucci, of Pisa,
and Professor Schonburgh, of Upsal.

LORD BROUGHAM AT A PIC-NIC PARTY.— On
Friday last, near Dayson Scar, on a romantic yet sylvan
scene, on the estate of Sir George Musgrove, by the
margin of the Eamont, a party of about fifty young
ladies and gentlemen held a grand pic-nicgathering. They
'were accompanied by a harmonic band of musicians.
The }-:arty assembled between three and four in the after-
noon, ant, having recreated themselves by wandering
along the piel:z.iresque spot, lighted up a fire, gipsy like,
beneath the shaddw of an old oak tree. Each " bonny
lass" had furnished sZ.
iitable crockery, and other essen-
tials, which were spread out on the grassy carpet, and
soon afterwards the whole party par took of tea. ft was
an interesting scene to behold the various groups in their
gipsying positions; and most agreeably wero they sur-
prised, while they were enjoying themselves wid.llol.lt the
least restraint, by Lord Brougham and party dropping
down beside them on the other side of the stream. After
tea the company commenced dancing, ceasing only at
nightfall.—Can lisle Journal.
DEATH BY ACCIDENTS.—On the 26th ultimo, the
Act (9 and 10 Victoria, c. 93) for compensating the fa-
milies of persons killed by accidents, came into opera-
tion. An action can now be maintained against any
person or company catising death through neglect or de-
fault. It must be commenced within twelve months of
the death of the party, and be brought in the name of
the executor or administrator of the deceased for the
benefit of the wife, husband, parent, and child of the
person killed. The Act does not apply to Scotland.
