other railways centring in Edinburgh have de-
cided in favour of Sunday trains by majorities
varying from twenty to one to seven to one, and
that just in proportion_ as the stock of any com-
pany has been held in Scotland has been the
largeness of the majority. And let them by no means
forget that even in the case of this Scottish Central,
the shareholders decided in favour of trains by a ma-
jority of 6,000, although a majority of the directors,
for reasons yet to be made known, have delayed obe-
dience. These facts, to which many similar might
be added, will disabuse the English mind of the idea
that we in Scotland are as priest-ridden and :illy as
they are fond of representing us, and will show that
the "M'Alawworms and M'Tartuffes" are not the
nation, but only a miserable minority, rendered
somewhat pestilent by their secret organization.
The above circular is a specimen not only of the
unfairness of their means, but of their own conscious-
ness that it is necessary or decent for them to " shun
the light." They mark their circular " private and
confidential," and direct replies to be sent, not to any
man, but to a certain house (is there anything wrong
with the repute of " No. 12, George's-square," that
its tenant cannot be named?). Surely, when they
have thus become ashamed of what they do, and their
means of doing it, they can hardly expect the public
to refrain from joining heartily in the condemnation
they pronounce upon themselves.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN.

A special meeting of this company was held on
Tuesday at Edinburgh, Mr. J. Balfuur in the chair,
for the purpose of considering and determining on a
proposal to take a certain amount of preferential stock
in the Aberdeen Railway.
After the Secretary read the report,
The CHAIRMAN said the questions they had to dis-
cuss were simply these—was the arrangement which
they proposed to enter into with the Aberdeen Com-
pany one for the interest of the Edinburgh and
Northern Company, or was it not ?—and, secondly,
were the terms of that arrangement such as could be
entered into with safety ? Now, he had no hesitation
in saying that an arrangement such as the one pro-
posed would materially strengthen the position of the
company; for by it they enabled the Aberdeen Com-
pany to obtain sufficient funds to complete their line,
and thus to complete the great line of communication
to Aberdeen, which was their great northern point.
They were all aware that at present the works on that
line were at a stand-still for want of funds to carry
them on. The object, therefore, was to provide funds
to carry these works on. He maintained that this
arrangement placed them in no difficulty at all ; that
it was a secure and a safe one; that the security was
ample for the interest which was guaranteed on the
stock ; and that there would not be any difficulty in
raising the funds which they required for their part
of the transaction, which amounted to 113,0001. It
was a mistake to suppose that any portion of the funds
of the Edinburgh and Northern Railway Company
would be appropriated for this measure. The direc-
tors were at all times unwilling to interpose their
personal security, except where it was absolutely ne-
cessary; but they hld no hesitation to do so in this
case, the money being raised on the security of the
Aberdeen Railway Company, backed by the Edin-
burgh and Northern, the North British, and the York
and Midland Railway Companies. And surely if it
was a good transaction for these railway companies, it
was a good transaction for the Edinburgh and
Northern. They had the Aberdeen line, which was
58 miles in length. The loans ix /*to of that com-
pany amounted to 369,0001., and the interest of that
sum at 6 per cent. gave an amount of 22,0001. a year,
which they required to raise to meet these loans. The
preference stock which it was proposed to raise was
276,0001., and this at 6 per cent. would be 16,6001. a
year. Therefore they required to raise 36,800/. in order
nut only to meet the 6 per cent. on the loans which the
Aberdeen Company were empowered to raise, but also to
meet the interest on the preference stock. Now, 58
miles of railway, with 251. a mile of revenue, which
was a very low estimate on the gross rev:nue of the
line, and much less than the calculations made by the
Aberdeen directors, would give a revenue of 84,0001.
per annum. Then, if they allowed 45 per cent. for
working expenses, this would make a deduction of
37,0001., leaving 47,000/. a year of revenue to meet
38,0001, or a surplus of 9,0001.—(-lean) They
would see that, as regarded the revenue and working
expenses, he had understated what would, in all like.
lihood, he the result in the one case, while he had
overstated it in the other. He was also enabled to
state that tlle affairs of the Aberdeen Company were
in a position in the highest degree satisfactory. He
concluded by proposing a series of resolutions, to the
effect that the report should be approved; that the
directors should be authorised to subscribe, on behalf
of the company, for 113,000/. of the stock of the
Aberdeen Cowpany, and provide their proportion of
the plant fur working that line; and that they be
authorised to interpose for this purpose the security of
the Edinburgh and Northern Company, and to take
all other measures for completing the transaction, on
the distinct understanding that the stock so taken
should be preferential.

Du. MTAB.LANE was of opinion that whether it in-
creased the traffic to the extent expected or not, it
was a right thing for the directors to see that they
had zi continuous line to Aberdeen.

The CHAIRMAN said, he believed that the Aberdeen'
directors were perfectly willing to enter into the ar-
rangement, on the understanding that the 276,0001
shoard be paid into a separate account, to be under
the control of the companies who were responsible
for that advance; and that this money should be
applied solely for the purpose of completing the line.
They had also the assurance of the engineers that they
Could complete the line for 276,0001., with the sums
which they were authorised to borrow, and which he
(the chairman) had included in hi; estimate of the
expense which would attach to this undertaking.
Sir J. GLADSTONE moved an amendment that the
resolutions proposed by the chairman be not adopted.
After some observations from Mr. Emacs, M.P.,
and Colonel GRAHAM,
Mr. J. AYTOUN suggested that there should be
added to the chairman's resolutions a recommendation
to the effect that the three companies should have a
representation in the Aberdeen board pro rata, and
equal i❑ number with the Aberdeen direction ; and
also that the engineers of the line (Messrs. Locke and
Erring-ton, or exiginecrs of equal eminence) certify
that, to the best of their judgment, the line can he
completed south of the Dee, with stations, it the
required sum of 276,0001.

After a few words from Mr. JAMES COWAN, ex-
pressing the utmost confidence in the directors being
able to raise the money,
The CHAIRMAN assented to the addition recom-
mended by Mr. Aytoun to the motion. _ _

A vote was then taken on the motion of the chair.
man and the amendment of Sir John Gladstone,
when 493 votes were given fur the motion, and 168
for tho amendment. This was independently alto-
gether of proxies, 1,375 of which had been received
in favour of the motion. The motion was accordingly
declared to be carried.

After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting
broke up.

CELEBRATION OF THE OPENING OF THE GREAT
NORTHERN.—The general celebration and rejoicing
in commemoration of this event takes place to- day
(Thursday) at Boston, Spalding, and other towns in
Lincolnshire. The day is to be observed as a general
holiday by the closing of shops, by festivities, and
gratuitous railway trips. The grand dinner takes
place in the theatre at Boston, which has been boarded
over and decorated, as on the occasion of the great
dinner in 1841. All the available seats have been
secured, and amongst those who have signified:their
intention of being present are the Earl of Yarbo-
rough, the lion. 0. Duncombe, Mr. Dennison, M.P.,
Mr. Packe, M.P., Mr. Christopher, M.P., Mr. B. B.
Cabbell, M.P., Mr. Peto, M.P., the Mayors of Bos-
ton, Louth, Griinsby, and Lincoln, Captain Laws,
R.N,, and numerous other gentlemen.
CHANGING TUE NAME OF A STATION.—This, the
first instance upon record of change in the name of a
railway station, comes into operation on the Eastern
Counties Railway on the Ist of November, when the
Wenden station, 43 miles down the line, and the
stopping place for passengers to Saffron Walden will
in future be known by the name of " Audley's End."
STOCKTON AND DAP.LINGTON.—It is said that Mr.
Hudson is prepared to lease the Stockton and Dar-
lington, a line that has always paid 10 per cent. since
its opening in 135, and that is almost exclusively
devoted to the conveyance of coals from the coal-
fields of Durham and Stockton, at from 10 to 15 per
cent.

TOURS AND NANTES.—The works of this line have
advanced so rapidly that it will be opened for the
transit of goods in the course of December next.
CLIATEAUROUX AND LIMOGES.—The Minister of
Public Works has just decided that another credit of
1,300,000 francs shall be applied to this line. In
consequence of this grant the works, which have
recently made but little progress, will be continued
with all possible activity along the whole line.
.BOURGES.—The section of the line from Bourges
to the Viaduct of the Allier is rapidly proceeded
with. For some time put the works have been
finished as far as Nerondes, and the rest of the dis-
tance is fa.st progressing.
CALZDONIAN RAILWAY.—We are informed that
some of the shareholders in this undertaking are
Ingking preparations to oppose the directors granting
any other guaranteed dividends than those already
sanctioned by Parliament to other railway companies,
on the ground that the traffic on the lines will be in-
adequ tte to meet the proposed additional liabilities
contemplated by the directors.

parties who have nothing to lose, but everything to
gain. In this city, for instance, many members of
the Stock-Exchange are now carrying on enormous
speculations for the fall without any of the shares to
deliver. This cannot be better substantiated than by
quotations from their own lists of to-day, where
Great Northern shares are quoted 575. 61. for account
end of October, and 63a. 6d. for cash or delivery for
last account ; actually a difference of six shillings for
the loan of shares now standing at 14 dis., 171. paid,
for a few days only. In North British, Edinburgh
and Northern, and other Scottish lines, dealt in prin-
cipally here, even as much as 15s. per share is given
for a similar purpose. This will at once fully testify
the public are not the sellers, and that the deprecia-
tion, therefore, is totally fictitious. I enclose my
name and address.—l remain, Sir, your obedient
servant,

THE NATIONAL GUARD AT THE

MANSION-HOUSE.
In consequence of a communication from the
Ambassador of the French Republic, the Lord
Mayor made arrangements to receive a large deputa-
tion from the Parisian National Guard at the Man-
sion-house.
The letter addressed to his Lordship stated that a
certain number of the National Guard of Paris,
actuated by a powerful sympathy, as well as by the
feeling occasioned by the cordial hospitality
which they had experienced all through Eng.
land, desired, during their short stay, to present
their respectful acknowledgments to the chief
magistrate; and the Ambassador, as representative of
France, joined too zealously with them in the senti-
ment not to embrace the opportunity of drawingcloser
the friendly bonds which united the two great nations,
whose good understanding was capable of accomplish-
ing so much for the peace of the rest of the world.
Twelve o'clock was the time appointed for receiving
the deputation, and before that time upwards of three
hundred of them were assembled in the immediate
neighbourhood. The curiosity of a vast number of
people was, as a matter of course, attracted to the
place, at which the welcome visitors arrived in cabs
and omnibuses in a continuous stream from half-past
eleven till a quarter past twelve. By the direction of
the Lord Mayor, several extra officers of the City police
were in attendance, and the National Guard were re-
ceived at the grand entrance by the officers of the
household, who conducted them to the Egyptian Hall.
The Lord Mayor, accompanied by Aldermen Wilson,
Humphery, and Musgrove, and by the Lady
Mayoress, immediately after the visitors, to the
number of between 300 and 400 assembled and placed
themselves in order rowed the hall, entered, and
amidst loud applause proceeded to the top of the room.
The Commandant then addressed the Lord Mayor.
Ho stated that many of the members of the Parisian
National Guard had accepted the invitation of the
National Guard to visit them, and it having been
suggested to them that as they were so near London
they could do nothing better than pay a visit to their
excellent English friends in that capital, they had de-
termined to adopt the agreeable advice of their fellow-
countrymen. They felt that they could not visit the
shores of England without paying their respects to the
Lord Mayor of London, especially as they had met
with the kindest reception from all ranks of the people
in every part of this hospitable country. It was the
ardent wish of the National Guard of Paris that the
good understanding and the kind feeling which pre-
vailed between the two countries should meet with no
interruption ; and the members of the body whom he
(the Commandant) represented, would, he assured
the Lord Mayor, ever bear in remembrance the great
cordiality with which they bad been received, and
which was calculated to give an additional impulse
to the good feeling which exisied between the two
countries.—(Loud cheers from the whole body.)
The Lord Mayor said—l feel very mtich gratified,
as chief magistrate of this city, and I am sure that
such is the case with my brother magistrates now
present, at the opportunity of welcoming the members
of the National Guard of Paris here assembled, upon
the occasion of their visit to this country. I hope
and believe that these visits will have the effect of
promoting and increasing good feeling and cordiality
between the two countries, as I am convinced that
much of the peace and tranquillity of Europe, the re-
storation of which is so much to be desired, will de-
pend upon the continuance of a kind and friendly
feeling subsisting between France and England.—
(Cheering.) lam most happy to see you all, and I
trust that you will, during your temporary sojourn
in London, avail yourselves of the opportunity of see-
ing as many of the public places and works of art as
possible, and that you will retarn home gratified with
the result.—(Great applause.)
The Commandant then expressed an anxious hope
that the Lord Mayor would pay the National '
Guard of Paris a visit, and receive from them,
in their own country,
their warm acknowledg-
ments of the reception which they had met with in
England.

llis Lordship affectionately responded to the invi-
tation, and the members of the National Guard then
retired, and proceeded to visit the Royal Exchange,
and the other public buildings of the City.

HURRY AND HASTE.—"" Never do anything in a
hurry," is the advice given to attornies and solicitors by
Mr. Warren. "No ono in a hurry can possibly have
his wits about him; and, remember, that in the law there
is ever an opponent watching to find you off your guard.
You may occasionally be in haste, but you need never be
in a hurry ; take care—resolve—never to be so. Re-
member always that others' interests are occupying your
attention, and suffer by your inadvertence,—by that
negligence which generally occasions hurry. A man of
first-rate business talents, one who always looks so calm
and tranquil that it makes oneself feel cool, on a hot
summer's day, to look at him, once told me that ho had
never been in a hurry but once: and that was for an
entire fortnight, at the commencement of his career: it
nearly killed him; he spoiled everything he touched; he
was always breathless, and harassed, and miserable; but
it did him good for life ; he resolved never again to be
in a hurry; and never was, no not once that he could
remember, during twenty-five years' practice! Observe
—I speak of being hurried and flustered; not of being
in haste—for that is often inevitable: but then is always
seen the superiority and inferiority of different men.
You may indeed almost define hurry as—the condition
to which an inferior man is reduced, by haste. I one
day observed, in a Committee of the House of Commons,
sitting on a Railway Bill, the chief secretary of the com-
pany, during several hours, while Freat interests were in
Jeopardy, preserve a truly admirable coolness, tran-
quillity, and temper, conferring on him immense ad-
vantages. His suggestions to counsel were masterly,
and exquisitely well-timed: and by the close of the day
he had triumphed. How is it that one never sees you
in a hairy?' said I, as we were pacing the long corridor,
on our way from the committee-room. Because it's so
expensive,' he replied, with a significant smile. I shall
never forget that observation; and don't you!"— Warren
on Altornies and Solicitors.
THRPunLic HEALTH Ilt GLASGOIT.—We are glad
to learn that the public health of the city still remains in
a most satisfactory state, and that scarlatina, which pre-
vailed amongst the younger members of the community,
is abating. As to adults, we may select the case of the
policy force—a class of men who are subjected to ex-
posure and hard work every hour of the night and day;
and we learn that their general health has not been in
a better state for twenty years. Including the lighting
andother departments, there are about 600 men employed
in this force, and one day last week there was not a single
case of sickness amongst them. Long may the city be
thus lightly dealt with! To ba prepared for any visita-
tion, however, the cleansing and purifying processes are
going on with renewed Z'sai j arid we are glad to learn
that the efforts of the police aro well seconded by the
city proprietors. In the central parts of the town there
is scarcely a close in which workmen are not employed,
at the expense of the owners of tenemen's, in making
repairs a ith a view to promote the comfort, and health
of the occup tilts. During Saturday night last, from six
till near twelve, a large body of scavengers was employed
in removing the debris which is collected is those streets
pr inc pally visited by basket fish-dealers and others. In
ordinary circumstances this rubbish would be allowed to
accumulate, and lie over Sunday till Monday morning.
—Glasgow Herald.
LATE STRAmmEuniEs.—A basket of large ripe
strawberries, of Keen's seedling variety, was exposed in
Messrs. Maclean and Son's fruit warehouse, on Saturday.
The fruit was produced in the open air, a few miles
south of Edinburgh, and was as good a specimen of
strawberries as any grown in the height of the summer I
season.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—It iS said that new bills
will be sent up to-day against Mr. Charles Gavan
Duffy, for felony. The bill in this case will be
founded on certain articles printed in the suppressed
copy of the Nation, and which the Crown lawyers
are prepared to show were written by Mr. Duffy
himself.

The accounts from the provinces this morning,
touching the condition and prospects of the country
during the coming winter, are very discouraging.
The Mayo Constitution, a Conservative paper, says—
" The present condition of the country generally, but
of this county more particularly, is of the most fearful
character at the present moment. The almost total
failure of the potato crop, and the very meagre grain
crop, renders the present and future prospects of
every class almost hopeless. Landlords and tenants
are threatened with dreadful privation. The small
return of the wheat crop has afforded many an ex-
cuse, and in some cases made it impossible for
the small farmer to pay rents and taxes—
whilst a regular combination seems to be entered
into by such as have crops to make off with the pro-
duce of the land, regardless of the payment of any
rent or taxes. We are aware that in almost every
part of the county the entire crops are carried off by
night—the cattle are recovered and sold, and the
lands wasted. This is a sad look out for the land-
lords—a gloomy prospect for the future. We look
around us in vain, we fear, for a single hope to grasp
at. Employment there is none—relief is at an end—
rents are not available—rates cannot be collected—
thousands are on the verge of starvation—the rapid
and fearful strides of cholera threaten to sweep away
our population, who must become easy victims to the
awful visitation. And in the midst of all these
afflictions Government aid there is none. Apathy—
shameful apathy—seems to distinguish us, for all
must be sensible of the impending danger from the
presence of the remorseless tyrants hunger and
cholera. To meet either, is there any preparation
being made in this county? The former is an evil
we are certain to encounter—the latter will come and
sweep over us like the simoom in the desert, un-
checked and unmitigated."
The Meath Herald, another Conservative paper,
says—" Within the memory of the oldest inhabitants
the spirit of emigration was never more rife during
the spring of the year than it is now, though we are
on the brink of winter. Scarcely a day passes in
which strangers are not seen wending their way to-
wards the seaports of Drogheda or Dublin—flying
from the misery which threatens to visit their homes
upon the arrival of winter. Numbers are collecting
their little store for transmission, fearing, should they
delay until spring, that the small means at present in
their possession would be exhausted in the support of
their families ; whilst others, flocs° conscientious, are
giving ' leg-hail' to landlords, creditors, and rate-
collectors. From the situation in which poor families
are placed, without a ray of hope to benefit their con-
dith,n, and with no prospect in view but the work-
house, this cannot be wondered at. Considering that
any change must benefit their condition, they prefer
encountering the danger and difficulties attending
emigration is the winter season, to remaining with
no better prospect before them than a poor-house.
Even this resource must fail, if the present system of
neglect be much longer pursued towards the labour
of the country, for all property will inevitably be
swallowed up by it—the profits first, the principal
after; therefore, whilst landlords possess any capital,
they would do well, fur the preservation of that pro•
perty, to endeavour to procure employment for the
able bodied labourers, otherwise that capital will be
lost in supporting idleness."
ALLEGED PLOT TO REscuE.—lt is understood that
the authorities are in possession of the details of a
plot entered into by some silly visionaries, having for
its object the rescue of Mr. Gavan Duffy either before
or after his trial. Such precautions, it is said, have
been made as would totally defeat this absurd attempt,
if made.

THE SPECIAL COMMISSION.
According to the Clonmel Chronicle, the entire cost
of the witnesses in the recent State prosecutions for
high treason, as paid by the Crown, amounts to
1,5001. Dobbin, the informer, was paid 171., includ-
ing all his expenses up to yesterday.
With respect to the men who refused to give
evidence against Mr. O'Brien, the Judges have ruled
that John O'Donnell, a farmer of the better class,
and Richard Shea, a half-famished lad of about 18
years old, are to be imprisoned for one year, from the
Ist of October, and fined 101., and in default of pay-
ing such fine that they be further imprisoned for a
period of three months. Edmund Egan, the other
tnan who refused to give evidence, is in for trial, true
bills for high treason having been found against him.

TRIAL BY JURY.
The following letter was received by Soutbcota
Mansergh, Esq., of Grenane, the foreman of the jury
on Mr. O'Brien's trial :

" Sir,—l received intelligence that you were a Fore
of the grand jury on the tryal of W. S. O'Brien, and
that you returned to a verdict of guilty on the noble
and high minded man. But by the great name of
God I swear, if he be executed accordin to his sen-
tense, that you may be sure of a fate similar to his ;
and also your unmanly savage—or brother—be sure
of his fate. Again I tell you be prepared to meet
the cruets ded that ever was inflicted on any humane
bein, If Mr. O'Brien be hung or transported. For
by the Lord of Heaven and earth, they hand that rote
this will send you and your brother soul to the
scorchin flames of perdition.
" Signed by your unrevenged enemy.
" To Mr. Manser, Genane."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION. 110USF.

Yesterday, Alexander Howell and Hannah Marlin,
werk charged with having passed counterfeit four-
penny-pieces, and the latter was also charged with
having had in her possession thirty-three bad pieces
of the same kind.

George Scott and Webb, the City officers, had ob-
served the prisoners, who were known to them, going
about the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street, and
judging what their object was, followed them. The
man, after communicating with the woman, walked
into several shops, and, as the witnesses afterwards
ascertained, asked for some trifling article, and paid
for it with one of the base coin, of which the officers
obtained possession. In one tobacconist's shop the
male prisoner offered a counterfeit " fourpenny" in
payment of half an ounce of tobacco, but the young
woman behind the counter detected the imposition
and kept the base metal. The officers who had been
watching them grabbed the prisoners, and in the
hands of the woman Webb found a little bag in which
were deposited thirty-three counterfeit fourpenny
pieces, each neatly wrapped up in paper, to prevent
any injury from friction.
The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoners whether
they wished to say anything.—They both said No.
It was stated that the town swarms with bad four-
penny pieces. _ _

- Lis-Ally the officers in the present instance had
watched so narrowly the movements of the prisoners
as to be able to complete three cases against them.
LAMBETH.

LORD HUNTINGTOWER AGAlN.—Yesterday a re-
spectably-drossed female appled to Mr. Elliott for his
advice and assistance, under the following circum-
stances:—

The applicant said that months since Lord Hun-
tingtower and a lady, whom he represented to be his
wife, took apartments in, and subsequently lodged at,
her house, as "My Lord " and "My Lady. ' At
length they had some difference, when his Lordship
denied the lady's right to call him husband, but the
lady as positively asserted she had, and that ahe had
in her possession a letter to prove that she was the
wife of his Lordship according to the laws and cus-
toms in Scotland. His Lordship then left the lady,
but returned on Sunday, when the latter locked her-
self up in her room, for her personal protection as
well as the protection of the letters relative to the
alleged marriage which she had in her possession.
His Lordship, however, forced open the door, but in
doing so had smashed its pannels, and she (the ap-
plicant) wanted to know how she was to proceed to
obtain redress for the damage done to the door, and
also recover upwards of 201. due to her for lodgings.
Mr. ELLIOTT told her that he would grant her a
summons for the wilful damage done to the door;
but, as for the money due for lodging, that the ap-
plicant must sue for in the County Court.
The applicant said she would take out the summons,
though she was very doubtful whether his Lordship
could be served with it, as it was only on Sundays he
made his appearance in public.
ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—Susan Thomas, a
prostitute, and William Pongo, a companion of hers,
were finally examined on a charge of robbing James
College of a watch, a bottle of rum, and a shirt-pin.
