CHEAP EXCURSION TRAINS.

It will be remembered by our readers that at the
half-yearly meeting of the London and South-Wes-
tern Railway Mr. Chaplin, M.P., the chairman, stated
that the Board of Inland Revenue had called upon the
company for a passenger duty on the cheap excursion
trains, but that the company bad demurred to the
payment. Since that time considerable corre-
spondence has taken place between the company and
the Board of Inland Revenue upon this subject. The
directors of the company, in their correspondence with
the Board, state that they believe that the traffic on
which the Board wished to enforce the passenger duty
(one-eighth of a penny per mile) is a kind of traffic
exempted from duty under the Act compelling the
companies to carry third-class passengers (Parlia-
mentary). The Act states that, in order to secure
to the poorer class of travellers a means of travelling
at moderate fares—or at under Id. per mile," no
duty shall be paid on such traffic. The directors con-
tend that the cheap excursion trains come legitimately
under that clause in the Act. On the other hand,
the Board deny that this is the case, and insist upon
the payment of the duty. Up to yesterday no set-
tlement had taken place, and the dispute was carried
on, neither party seeming inclined to yield. It is
quite certain that should the Board succeed in esta-
blishing their claim, railway companies will be com-
pelled to discontinue cheap excursion trains, to the
great injury of the public, as in many cases the price
charged scarcely amounts to the claim made for duty.

AMERICAN PERFORMERS IN LONDON.
(From the New York Atlas.)
The engagement of Mr. James Wallack, jun., at the
Haymarket, says a London correspondent in whose im-
partiality and veracity we place the most implicit con-
fidence, had proved a deplorable and unexpected failure.
He had a fair trial, it is contended; and, it is most
lustily denied that anything like prejudice against Ame-
ricans bad aught to do with the matter. The press
was liberal and just to him, and the manager, Mr.
Webster, made every possible effort to sustain
him. But, if the British public required a man to fill the
vacancy Mr. Macready's retirement had created, they
did not desire a bad copy, a bad imitation of that gen-
tleman. Whoever saw Mr. Wallack in the character of
Werner, that was not annoyed by constantly having
before him a man who reminded him of all the faults
and excrescences of Mr. William Macready? London
required an original actor; and, it is unnecessary to
deny that Mr. Wallack failed to realize the high
wrought expectations that had been engendered.
Mr. Edward Davenport is now the leading actor in
England. He is universally popular, and commands a
higher salary than any other artist in London. His
tab nts are appreciated and applauded by the people of
England; and his great success affords a full and nnqua-
liEed refutation of the charge, that Englishmen are hos-
tile to American actors. Mr. Davenport is an American,
a native of Boston, and as such has always presented
himself in London and the provinces.

TH URSDAY

WEST SURREY REGISTRATION.
lAIPORTANT DECISION.
Mr. A. Ryland, the Revising Barrister, held a
court at the Swan Inn, Chertsey, on Wednesday, to
revise the list of voters for East Moulsey and other
parishes. The Westminster Freehold Land Society
having purchased an estate of thirty acres, fifty-one
members claimed to be inserted on the register;
forty-one of these had been objected to by the Con-
servatives. At the sitting of the court a great muster
of the members attended to support these claims, with
Mr. G. E. Dennes, the solicitor to the society, and
Mr. G. Huggett, the secretary. Mr. Rand and Mr.
Smallpiece attended for the Conservatives.
The claim of Mr. G. E. Dennes was first taken.
Mr. Huggett took an objection to the form of ob-
jection, the name of the objector being " George
Loveland, of Guildford," whereas his name aside-
scribed on the register was " George Loveland, of
High-street, Guildford."
Mr. Huggett cited the cases of Woollett and
Davis and Pruen and Cox ; and the Revising Barrister
decided that the objector had not given a sufficient
description of his place of abode, and, consequently,
the objection was defective, and he allowed all the
claims.

The room was crowded, and great interest was
manifested during the proceedings.
The effect of this decision will be that, in all proba-
bility, a Liberal will be returned for the county at
the next election.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)

In the early stages of the Exhibition some degree of
,apprehension was felt lest the rush of visitors on the
fi,-st shilling day should put the strength of the building
to an unfair test. Accordingly precautions of every
conveivable character were taken to avert acci-
dents and preserve order; but, lo! when the
eventful day came, the numbers fell very far
short of what had been anticipated, and the
Commissioners, for once, were entirely out in their cal-
culations. Everybody stopped away because everybody
else was sure to go on the first shilling day, and the re-
sult was highly satisfactory to those who ventured be-
,neath the crystal roof, in spite of the unfavourable
predictions about the stability of its supports. They
saw the wondrous treasures which the building
contained without the inconvenience of a crush, and
had the best possible chance of examining minutely
the principal objects of this stupendous collection
of industrial curiosities. How different, how-
ever, has been the last shilling day! Pouring in torrents
xrom the earliest dawn until long past noon, the streets
aed public vehicles have yet been filled almost to re-
pletion with men and women of all classes, bent upon
taking " a last fond look" at the interior of the Great
Exhibition, and the consequence has been that the re-
ceipts to-day have:added another 5,0001. to the accumu-
lating exchequer of the Commissioners. The numbers
np to four o'clock, as returned by the police, were 90,036.
Notwithstanding that this immense assemblage of peo-
ple was collected together within the limits of the
Crystal Palace itself, the difficulty of circulation was,
comparatively speaking, of no moment. At the tran-
sept, where the various streams meet, it is true, there
was a good deal of pushing and crushing, but every one
seemed conscious of the importance of keeping his
temper or exercising a little patience, and in the cod the
twisting and squeezing oper,qion was looked upon more as
an excellent joke than an inconvenience. The police,
thee ',fore,
who manage their part of the business with ad-
nairat, le skill and tact, experienced no trouble in per-
suading - the multitude to " keep moving;" and altogether
the resui is of the last three days at the Exhibition have
been of thus most gratifying character.

HA YMA.R.KET THEATRE.

The benefit of Mr. Benjamin Webster, " the lessee
of the little theatre in the Haymarket," the only
metropolitan theatre which has never been devoted to
other than dramatic purposes, took place last even-
ing, and, as we had opined, troops of friends gathered
around him to do him honour. The house was
crammed to suffocation in every part long before the
rising of the curtain, and the appearance of Mr.
Webster on the stage was the signal for an outburst
of enthusiastic applause that shook the building. He
chose on this occasion his greatest character, Tartuffe,
and never did he act the part more perfectly, more
artistically. Not only is his Tartuffe his best cha-
racter, but he is the best Tartuffe on any stage, Eng-
lish or foreign. The only man who could compare
with him in this character was poor Pellet; and even
he did not excel Mr. Webster. Since Perlet's death
Webster's Tartuffe stands unrivalled. The per-
formances commenced with the opera of the Sonnwn-
bula, and concluded with Grintshaw, Bagshaw, and
Bradshaw, which elicited shouts of laughter and ap-
plause.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OIJR OWN CORREFPONDENT.)
THE DESERTED VILLAGE!!

The rush to the Great Exhibition has almost brought
our town into a position to claim the above appellation ;
not a , family, but a large portion is gone to town—
cot a house, but many of the former inmates are ab-
sent on leave, or without leave—in some instances the
whole family has left, and the shop or house is closed
—" Gone to the World's Fair." It is not only amongst
the inhabitants of the different towns in the island
that the Exhibition has such attractions, the agricul-
turists have gone, but many of them have sent their
men, even their shepherds, and paid their expenses.
That this beautiful building should be taken down,
and all the wonderful things in it scattered, is re-
gretted by all; hundreds are still crowding to town
to take a last look, and bets are freely offered that
10,000/. will be taken at the doors for admission on
Saturday next!

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND SUMMARY

PUNISHMENT.

It is rarely that we have to record the particulars
of a more daring robbery in one of the most fre-
quented highways in the neighbourhood than was
committed on the evening of Sunday last, on the road
across Roborough Down, leading from Tavistock to
Plymouth. The speed, too, with which hard-fisted
justice followed upon the heels of the delinquent im-
parts an interest to the facts which such cases do not
often povess.
The circumstances are these :—An old man named
Bellamy, formerly a resident of this town, but more
recently an inmate of the Okehampton union work-
house, set out on Monday morning from the latter
place, intending to walk to Plymouth, where, it is
said, some of his friends reside. Ile had in his
possession when he commenced his journey the sum
of fifteen shillings, which was deposited in a leathern
purse, and with staff in hand, and companion by
his side in the person of John Hartner, a la-
bourer whom he met with at a common lodging-
house at Okehampton, the walk to Tavistock was
accomplished about noon of the same day. Hers they
tarried awhile, and having disposed of three or four
pints of beer, again turned their faces towards Ply-
mouth. On their way they stopped to pay their re-
spects to the landlord of the Magpie, but nothing fur-
ther occurred until they had entered upon the
" Downs." Here they were overtaken by William
Dilling, a jockey in the service of Mr. Thomas,
horse-dealer, of Plymouth, who, having three horses
with him, invited the wayfarers to ride. Hartner
readily accepted the offer, and having mounted one of
the two disengaged animals, was seemingly about to
ride off with Dilling, when the old man, Bellamy,
called to them, and asked to be allowed to mount the
other horse. This was agreed to, and the two pro-
ceeded on the road until they reached the Buller's
Arms, a wayside inn, near Roborough Rock. Here
more drink was had, for which Bellamy paid, reducing
the amount in his possession to 14s. As he had already
imbibed rather snore ale than was good for his
health's sake, and, like a sensible toper, was conscious of
the fact, he declined to share the third pint for which
Dillingcalled, but said he would ride on at a foot pace,
and his companions could follow him. To this they
consented, and the old man's story is, that hearing a
horseman behind him about twenty minutes after
wards, he turned to greet his newly-found " friend,"
when he suddenly received a blow from a whip across
his eyes, which was succeeded by another on the
temple, which knocked bim off his horse, and the next
moment he found Dilling kneeling on s breast and
rifling his pockets, Hartner being alooker-on. This
done, he was left extended by the side of the road,
where he remained lying for a short time, when four
men dressed in the garb of miners came up, and
brutal
having learnt the particulars of the manner in
which he had been treated, they left him with the as-
surance that if they overtook the rascals as they hoped

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

William Fisher, a person of gentlemanly appear-
ance, was charged with stealing a cake of chocolate
from the Great Exhibition.
Police-constable Long, 174 G, said he saw the
prisoner in the French department of the Exhibition
about three o'clock that afternoon. The prisoner was
apparently watching him, for as soon as witness pre-
tended to turn away the prisoner took the cake of
chocolate and put it into his pocket. Witness followed
him, and took him into custody. The prisoner begged
earnestly to be allowed to be released, saying he was
a gentleman, and if the matter was pressed it would
be his ruin. Witness found a gold watch and a gold
eye-glass in his possession.
The prisoner said he had no idea of committing a
theft when he took the cake of chocolate. He said

that the chocolate was described as something novel,
and being curious to taste it, he took up a cake and
placed it in his pocket. It was only curiosity that in-
duced him to take the article. It was hardly likely
from his circumstances and station that he should have
contemplated a theft, especially when articles of real
value were equally accessible.
Mr. HARDWICK asked the prisoner what he was ?
The prisoner said he was a German. He was a com-
mission agent, and he resided in Drury-court, St.
Mary-axe.

IlianwicK said it was certainly very incon-
siderate on the part of the prisoner to give way to his
propensity for tasting the property of other persons
under such circumstances as might lead to the infer
ence that robbery was contemplated. As the article
taken was of trifling value, not more than a shilling,
he would take a lenient view of the case, and instead
of sending it to a jury, inire a fine of 403.
The money was paid.
Patrick Manning was charged with stealing a gold
watch and chain under these circumstances :
Mr. Walter Brettell, stationer, No. 20, New Bond-
street, said he was accidentally looking out of the win-
dow yesterday afternoon. when he saw the prisoner
with a case of razors come out of Mrs. Faire's house,
which was opposite, and where some repairs were being
done. Witness saw the prisoner go up the ladder be-
fore the house and get into the first-floor window.
Suspecting something wrong was intended, he went
over to Mrs. Faire's house, and seeing the prisoner
with a watch-guard hanging out of his pocket, he
asked him where he got it from ? The prisoner began
to cry, and then witness gave him into custody.
Mr. Leonard Gwyn said he lodged at No. 139,
New Bond-street. The gold watch and case of razors
were his property. They were safe in a drawer in his
dressing-room when he went out that morning.
The prisoner made no defence, and was fully com-
mitted.

RAINHILL.

The train conveying her Majesty, Prince Albert,
ani the Royal children, reached Rainhill precisely at
half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the
Royal party proceeded to Crdxteth-hall, where they
arrived at 20 minutes past five.
The Royal progress from Lancashire to Rainhill
was marked by no incident calling for observation.
Her Majesty was received by the Earl of Sefton, who
preceded the Royal cortke on horseback to Croxteth.
The Royal party, after passing through Prescot, en-
tered the demesne of the Earl of Derby, who, with his
Countess, was in attendance in an open barouche at the
Ecclestone Gate. A drive of five long miles through
some of the finest park scenery in England brought
her Majesty to the confines of the Croxteth estate,
where Lord Sefton's tenantry were drawn out to re-
ceive the " Queen." Her Majesty arrived at Crox-
teth-hall at twenty-five minutes after five o'clock.
The Countess of Sefton was in attendance upon the
terrace in front of the mansion to receive her Majesty.
Among the members of the family present we ob-
served—Mr. and Lady Caroline Townley, Mr. and
Lady Louisa Oswald, Mr. Grenfell, M.P., and the
Misses Grenfell, the Misses Blackburne of Hale, Mr.
and Mrs. John Townley, Viscount Anson, Captain
and Mrs. Molyneux, Major Herbert, Byng-hall, &c.
The Croxteth tenantry mustered in large numbers,
and received her Majesty as aim alighted with shouts
of welcome. A short time after the arrival of the
Royal party, the Prince Consort accompanied Lord
Sefton over the house farm, and drove through the
park. The Queen and the Royal children appeared at
the windows in front of the mansion about the same
period, and were received with enthusiastic shouts.
The dinner party to-night will be confined to twenty.
guests, among whom are the Earl and Countess or
Derby and Lady Eleanor Hopwood, Mr. Wm. Brown,
M.P. for South Lancashire, Sir Thomas Birch, M.P.
for Liverpool, and Mr. Hardman Earle, one of the
leading merchants of this district. The tenantry of
Lord Sefton have been entertained to-day in a mag-

'The LORD CHIEF JUST/Cl, before leaving the court,
said ho had received a message from the jury, that they
were not likely to agree, and he did not think he had
any power to discharge them.
Mr. BALL, counsel for the plaintiff, said, under those
circumstance, ho considered it would not be necessary
for his Lordship to remain.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Then lam afraid they
must continue to be locked up.
His Lordship then left the court.
A few minutes after they entered the court, his
Lordship returned, and they informed him that there
was little chance olagreement among them.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I am sorry to hear it. I
suppose you wish to be discharged ? The Foreman—
Yes.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I cannot do that without
the congent of counsel.
The Foreman—l assure your Lordship there is no
chance of our agreeing to-night.
His LORDSHIP then had an interview with the junior
Counsel on either side in a private room, and on appt ar-

Total
(* Partly estimated.)
It appears by this that more than 80 millions of dollars in
coin and bullion have been exported from the United States
to foreign countries since June 30, 1847. A portion of this
was California gold. The above aggregate comprises ship-
ments only from the Atlantic ports. Exports of gold dust
from California direct to other countries are not to be in-
cluded in the above statement. Of the two hundred millions
of dollars of gold produced in California during the past
three years, about forty millions has found its way
to Europe, without passing through any of the Atlantic
ports of the United States. But for this supply of precious
metals the finances of European Powers would have been in
a deplorable condition. With this enormous accession
to the metallic currency they have been compelled
to resort to large issues of paper to sustain them-
selves. The difficulty experienced by some of the
smaller Powers in negotiating loans, and the failure
cf Austria in raising a moderate amount of money among
the English bankers, have created alarming apprehensions
regarding the future financial operations of the same Go-
vernment. In the event of California annually increasing
the supply of gold, it may be several years before public
bankruptcy overtakes any of the greater Powers, or before
the currency of Europe becomes alarmingly depreciated by
issues of paper promises to pay. But the time is not far
distant when even the gold mines of California, Australia,
and Uralia, will not suffice to keep the finances of the Go-
vernments of the old world in a solvent condition,"
A material advance occurred yesterday afternoon in the
prices paid for Bills of Exchange on the principal continental
cities, and there was a general unwillingness to deal. Paris,
90 days, was at 25 40 to 50, Amsterdam at 11 19 to 19%4,
Hamburgh at 13 10% to 3/4, and Frankfort at 120i8 to
121. Nothing was done on Trieste or Vienna.
Public Securities are all better, although there is neces-
sarily a good deal of fluctuation. Consols have been 97 to
97%, and are now 974 for Transfer. For Time they
were once as low as 96Tg, but bring at present 971/.1. Bank
Stock is worth 215, and India Stock 262. The nremium on
Exchequer-bills ranges from 50s. to 545.

Foreign Stocks are recovering also. Spanish Five per
Cents. bring 191/2 to 20. Mexican Bonds have been 231/2 to
24, the revolution at Matamoras appearing to be on the de-
cline. Brazil Stock is steady, at WC Dutch Two-and-Half
per Cents. are 58; Mexican are now 231,ra 3 again.
Shares are rather fluctuating, having been both higher
and lower tha❑ yesterday in many cases, but real holders
do not press sales. The speculators were generally going
for a rise when the Paris news came. Agua Fria Gold
Mine are I to 114 ;,aud Nouveau Monde 14 to % premium.
The news concerning quartz crushing in California is very
favourable.

" The Fair Carew' evinces merit of a much higher order than we
are accustomed to meet In works of this character. There is a strain
of quiet easy raillery pervading the whole work that reveals a know-
ledge of the human heart, freedom of style, truthfulness of aim, and
parity of moral ; and for all these undoubted good qualities of a work
of fiction, we welcome the author of the Fair Carew,' and thank
her for her contribution to the public's pleasant reading."—Literary
Gazette.
" Clever —and very clever—this work certainly Nothing much-
smarter in style have we for some time met with. The course of the
story flows on safely and steadily, and carries the interest of the
reader on to the end."—Athenamm.
" One of the cleverest novels that has appeared for some time.
For striking and graphic -delineation of character, we can find no
paragel among recent writers, save in the pages of Miss Bronte.
The Fair Carew' will take•a great hold on the public, and ensure
its author lasting popularity." —Weekly News.
