LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER

corning more general; and with a wider diffusion of
the circulation, the press is more able to pay for it.
Mr. Krcn—ls it a profession apart ?—No ; usually
the men have been brought up to the bar, to the pulpit,
as printers, and so on ; they are not originally literary
Inen.

CLIAIRMAN—Your extensive circulation of those
c papers is based, to some extent, upon the fact
that your whole population can read ?—Yes.
I presume that the non-reading class in the United
States is a limited one ?—Yes, except in the slave
states.

Do not you consider that newspaper reading is cal-
culated to keep up a habit of reading ?—I think it is
worth all the schools in the country. I think it creates
a taste for reading in every child's mind, and it in
creases his interest in his lessons ; he is attracted to
study from the habi.% of always seeing a newspaper,
and hearing it rer4d, I think.
Supposing that you had your schools as now, but
that your newspaper press were reduced within the
limits of the press in England, do not you think that
the habit of reading acquired at school should be fre-
quently, laid aside ?—I think that the habit would not
be acquired, and that often reading would fall into
disr,se.

Mr. Rice—Does not the habit of reading create a
demand for newspapers, rather than the supply of
newspapers create a habit of reading should
rather say that the capacity that is obtained in the
schools creates a demand for newspapers.
The greater number of persons who read in the
United States accounts for the greater number of
newspapers that are published, does it not P—There
is no class in the free states who do not know how to
read, except the immigrant class.
But in proportion to the number of persons who
can read will be the number of persons supplied P
Yeq.

CHAIRMAN-But the means of obtaining cheap
newspapers enables people to keep up their reading,
does it not ?—Yes.

Mr. EWART—Must not the contents of a newspaper
have a great effect upon the character of the popula-
tion, and give a more practical turn to their minds ?
—I should think the difference in intelligence would
be very great between a population first educated in
schools, and then acquiring the habit of reading
journals, and an uneducated non-reading.
If a man is taught to read first, and afterwards ap-
plies his mind to the reading of newspapers, would
not his knowledge assume a much more practical form
than if that man read anything else ?—Every man
must be practical. I think that the capacity to in-
vent or to improve a machine, for instance, is very
greatly aided by newspaper reading; by the educa-
tion afforded by newspapers.
Hiving observed both countries, can you state
whether the press has greater influence on public opi-
nion in the United States than in England, or the re-
verse ?—I think it has more influence with us ; I do
not know that any class is despotically governed by
it, but the influence is more universal ; every one
reads it and talks about it with us, and more weight
is laid upon intelligence than on editorials ; the
paper which brings the quickest news is the one
looked to. . .

The leading article has not so much influence as it
has in England ?—No ; the telegraphic dispatch is the
great point.
Mr. COBDEN—You stated, did you not, that your
New York paper contains two or three columns of
telegraphic news ?—Three to five columns in times of
Congresses and Legislative sessions; always from one
to five columns.

Do you, in New York, publish any telegraphic re-
port of the proceedings in your Legislature at Albany ?
—Every day.
To what extent would the proceedings be tele-
graphed from Albany ?—From half a column to two
columns ; sometimes three columns when the matter
is of great interest.
Observing our newspapers, and comparing them
with the American papers, do you find that we make
much less use of the electric telegraph for transmit-
ting news to newspapers than in America ?—Not a
hundredth part as much as we do.
That is a considerable item of expense there, is it
not ?—Enormous ; but it is cheaper with us than
with you.
An impression prevails in this country that our
newspaper press incurs s great deal more expense to
expedite news than you do in New York ; are you of
that opinion P—l do not know what your expense is ;
I should say that 100,000 dollars a year are paid by
our association of the six leading daily papers, besides
what each gets separately for itself.
20,000 t. a year are paid by your association, con-
sisting of six papers, for what you get in common ?
Yes ; we telegraph a great deal in the United States.
Fur instance, the Scientific Association held its an-
nual meeting in Cincinnati this year, and we bad
telegraphic reports from that place, though we, and I
presume other journals, had special reporters to re-
port the proceedings at length ; so we have reports
cvt-ry day 1,000 miles—from New Orleans daily, and
St. Louis, and other places.

was not quite so easily out-manoeuvred as were the
generals of Mexico. That such an expedition, Bo
generalled and so provided, should have been anni-
hilated by the forces under CONCHA. cannot surprise
any person at all acquainted with military tactics.
We were prepared for such a result from the first,
but we certainly were not prepared to find that in
the island of Cuba, containing as it does many
thousands of the citizens of the United States who
have settled there, more particularly at Matanzas
and its neighbourhood, not one single indi-
vidual, white or black, American or Cuban,
creole or Spaniard, joined the Lorzz band
from the day that they landed to the day they were
all cut to pieces. LOPEZ and his band, where-
ever they showed themselves, were hunted down
like wild beasts by the inhabitants of the island. We
trust that the fate of LOPEZ and his companions will
not only stimulate the Executive of the United States
to the performance of their duty, by preventing the
arrival in Cuba of similar expeditions, but that it
will also act as a wholesome warning to would-be
sympathisers to abstain from the future from forcing
armed assistance on those who neither ask for nor
need it.

The report of the directors of the South• Eastern
Railway Company for the half-year ending the 81st
July last, which has just been submitted to the
proprietors, will, when duly considered, afford much
gratification to those who have invested their capital
at reasonable prices in that important line. It is
true that there is one considerable drawback—the
dividend about to be distributed is less than had been
anticipated by all parties concerned, as well by
those in authority as by the great body of the
shareholders, and by the community in general.
But this reduction is susceptible of clear and
satisfactory explanation, and those who carefully
perused the report and listened to the lucid speech of
the Chairman, will concur with that Honourable
Gentleman in believing that the present is the
smallest dividend that will ever be declared. The
data on which that opinion was founded—all the ele-
ments necessarily entering into the calculation—are
so fully and distinctly before the public, that it is
almost a work of supererogation to enter into any
new arguments to sustain that position. When, how-
ever, the vast importance of the subject and the
influence which the prospects of one of the great
trunk lines of England, on which a large proportion
of the European traffic must be carried, must exercise
on the quotations of railway property in general,
are borne in mind, we may be excused for briefly
alluding to some of the more prominent features of
the subject, which justify the conclusion at which we
have arrived.

And first it must not be forgotten that the spring
half-year is almost invariably more unproductive than
the later term. Autumn is the touring season,
when men relieved for a time from their labours, seek
relaxation in change of scene. It is almost unne-
cessary to say how many direct their footsteps to
France or Belgium, or Germany, fur periods varying
from a single week to two or three months. These
travellers contribute largely to the receipts of the
South-Eastern Company, but their contributions are
chiefly restricted to the autumn quarter. The differ-
ence between the half-years is therefore more per-
ceptible on the South-Eastern line than almost any
other in the kingdom. It is, then, indeed,
surprising to find that the receipts of the
last half-year have come within a few thousand
pounds of the preceding six months, the falling off
being, in round terms, barely 3,000/., while they ex-
ceed that of the corresponding period in 1850 by no
less than 52,795/. About 23,000/. of that increase is
from through or continental traffic, while nearly
9,000/. is an improvement on the North Kent line,
which has thus gone on flourishing, notwithstand-
ing the formidable competition to which it
has been exposed. The same may be said
of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate branch,
although in a lesser degree. In fact in every part
there is a perceptible amelioration, save in the Green-
wich, in which there is a small falling off, of about
1,4001., which is, however, clearly attributable to the
facilities afforded by the North Kent branch affording
temptations to more extended trips than were for-
merly indulged in. We also find an increase on the
goods traffic of about 8,000/. on the half-year.
A large proportion of capital, too, participated in the
dividend, which, although to all intents and purposes
unproductive during the past half-year, will hence-
forward contribute its fair proportion to the general
prosperty. All the capital now is entitled to divi-
dend, whether productive or unproductive, so that the
worst which can possibly arise is known, while the
corresponding advantages have by no means been
developed, and from which we confess we anticipate
very Esatisfactory results. It appears, also, from
the returns of the six weeks since the expi-
ration of the half-year, to which the report
was necessarily restricted, that the receipts since the
31st of July have exceeded those of the correspond-
ing period of last year by no less than 25,000/., or
about 4,1661. per week, an improvement of about 22
per cent. on the general average—a circumstance
which will exercise material influence on the future
fortunes of the line.

But there is another point in the report that
affords even greater cause for congratulation
than the pleasing fact above alluded to. The
report itself, and the speech of the Chairman
in every line and word indicate a pacific policy.
There is no inclination exhibited to enter into con-
tests with other companies for the purpose of showing
off their strength or power. Litigation is as dangerous
to large companies as war is to nations. Peace
is a blessing which can only be appreciated when it
has been thoroughly enjoyed. It is therefore with
no ordinary pleasure that we find the statement that
" all differences with the Brighton Company regarding
the London and Hastings and St. Leonard's traffic have
been satisfactorily concluded, and that while the
requisite accommodation is supplied to the
public the companies will not act in op-
position to each other." ; This is, indeed,
as it should be where parties amicably manage a
division of profits, which, if each were grasping at
what they could not reasonably hope to retain, would
vanish away, and leave the conflicting boards, if not
wiser, at least infinitely sadder men, on account of
the injudicious and reckless course they had adopted.
Another point must be adverted to before we close
our remarks. 'We are well aware that the alarmists,
those who for their own sinister purposes endeavour
to depreciate the stock of every company, will en-
deavour to show that the large receipts have been
mainly, if not altogether, ascribable to the Exhibition.
We must not forget, however, the extraordinary
opposition that has been offered on other
routes, an opposition which will scarcely be con-
tinued in other years to anything like a similar ex-
tent. The amicable relations that exist with our
European brethren of all nations will, we trust, be
continued, and that we may hope to see those who
have once visited cur shores anxious to return to the
British metropolis. The change that has been
effected in the Customs' regulations, a change for
which we are indebted to the importunity, the enter-
prise, and the liberality of the South-Eastern board,
will, we are convinced, materially contribute to this
" consummation so devoutly to be wished for."
The fact that the baggage may now be
carried through to London without examina-
tion will induce many who would otherwise
be deterred by the Custom-house nuisance
to journey to London, a visit which we hope will prove
satisfactory to themselves and profitable to the
carriers.

On the whole we think the facts of the case
afford just grounds for self-gratulation to every
shareholder, and that the greatest thanks and grati-
tude are due to the excellent Chairman for his praise-
worthy and efficient exertions during the many years
he has presided over the fortunes of the South-
Eastern Railway Company.

Sentimental though the "Journey" of STIRNIa
professedly was, it evidenced throughout a fund of
shrewd and practical observation. From its mast
fantastic passages might be selected phrases worthy
of stimulating the efforts of a reformer even now-a-
days, in an age not of packhorses but of railways.
Among these sentences one indeed has by reiterated
quotation risen almost to the dignity of an aphorism,
that sentence which occurs at the very opening of his
journal at Calais, where he observes in a tone of re-
proach to his countrymen across the Channel, " they

manage these things better in France." Inferior to
ours their system of municipal administration may
be, and undoubtedly is, in many particulars ; but
it must be acknowledged at the same time with
a strictly Shandean candour that in other respects
they have as unquestionably attained an indubitable
superiority. Traversing the streets and boulevards
of their beautiful Paris, it is impossible not to be im-
pressed with this con►iction. Take as an evidence of
this the arrangements enforced by the authorities for
the conveyance of the public to different quarters of
the metropolis. Instead of being hustled into an
omnibus very dirty, remarkably close, and exceed-
ingly restricted in regard to its dimensions, you enter
one spacious, clean, and contrived in all respects with
an attention both to elegance and convenience. You
have no necessity to run the gauntlet of a
lane of knees, to be jolted into the lap of the
most irritable among the whole group of passengers,
and at last to be "shaken down " by the clattering over
the stones into a seat that proves a very tight fit
indeed—an object to the majority of your companions
rather of disgust than of commiseration. On the
contrary, every step and incident of your journey in
the omnibuses of the French capital is matter either
of satisfaction or amusement. You cross the door-
way and your entrance is announced by a chime on
the conductor's clockwork. In your passage to the
extremity of the carriage in which you stand erect
the handrail overhead proves no inconsiderable assist-
ance. Crowding, beyond all this, is rendered alto-
gether impossible by the armrests dividing each side
into partitions. Are you going further than the
omnibus you have entered ? A slip of paper passes
you on to another conveyance without any additional
charge whatever.

Equally commendable are the regulations enforced
among our neighbours in reference to the system of
cab-hire. Disagreement with the driver is rendered
impracticable. Within the circumference of the
ramparts each journey is charged at a like fare, a
fare without increase or abatement. For one franc
and twenty-five centimes you can be carried in your
fiacre from one extremity of the city to another, from
the Arc d'Etuile to the Barriere du Trone, from
the Chemin de Fer du Nord to the Chemin
de Fer de Rouen, from the heights of Montmartre
to the gates of the Observatoire. Taken by the hour
a fiacre costs fifty centimes additional, and beyond
the line of fortifications the amount i 3 proportionately
increased according to the arrangement; either of
time or distance. Than this surely nothing could
scarcely be more reasonable or satisfactory. Civility
is secured by the inexorable uniformity of the charges
the driver being deprived of even a pretext for at-
tempted imposition and the consequent luxury of em-
ploying a little Parisian slang. Beyond which, the
voitures being classified in one comprehensive system,
cleanliness and respectability on the part
of the emplayies become somewhat more
attainable than among ourselves. In lieu
of being driven along Regent-street by a cabbie,
dressed in an eccentric costume, between that of an
o3tler, a potboy, and a costermonger, with a wisp of
soddened straw round his hat, and a " yard of clay"
reeking in his mouth—you may at any hour be con-
veyed down the Rue Rivoli, or any other of the
fashionable streets of the neighbouring metropolis, in
a fiacre, as neat in construction as a private cabrio •
let, with a coachman in livery, and altogether di-
vested of such appendages as a straw-wisp or a pipe
of tobacco.

Another custom prevalent in Paris, in reference to
these fiscres, might well be adopted as a serviceable
hint in the cities of London and Westminster.
It is this—whenever a " fare" enters one of these
conveyances he receives from the hands of the driver
a little billet containing his " number," and re-
sembling the subjoined :

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Constitutionnel publishes a furious attack on
M. DUVERGTER. DE HAURANNE, who is, with M.
TIERS, the great supporter of the candidature of the
Prince DE JOINVILLD.

M. LAHARTINE publishes the following in the Pays
as the declaration of the line of policy he intends to
pursue on the revision question :
" Oar line of policy is as follows; we feel the neces-
sity of again briefly expressing it:—Acopptance of the
partial revision ot the Constitution in the interest of
the Republic; re-eligibility of the President if the
country desires it and the revised Constitution sanc-
tions it; candtdateship of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, as
that of any other citizen, freely left to the vote of uni-
versal suffrage; preliminary establishment of universal
suffrage by the repeal of the law of May 31; no per-
sonal opposition to Louis Napoleon Bonaparte; no direct
or indirect support ot his election by the propagation of
Napoleonian prejudices among the people; Bonaparte to
be considered as a citizen, neither more nor less. Such
is our line."

The 2lfessager states that of the 178 persons re-
cently arrested in Paris, for what has been called the
Paris plot, 87 have been set at liberty, but with an
injunction to several of them who are foreigners to
quit Paris. _ _

The Committee of Permanence held yesterday its
ordinary fortnightly sitting, which was presided over
by M. BENOIST D'Azy. About twenty members,
among whom were M. BERRTER and General CHAN..
GARNIER, were present. After some remarks upon
the general situation of affairs, the Committee separated
without taking any other resolution but the agree-
ment to adjourn until next Thursday week. In pri-
vate conversation some remarks were interchanged
upon the omission of the Government to offer any
general invitation to the Permanent Committee to be
present at the ceremony of laying the foundation-
stone of the Central Markets. This was noticed as
indicating the continued existence of the old grudge
entertained by the PRESIDENT against the National
Assembly.
