RAILWAY REFul'ilf.

LivenrooL, Atonday.—Tbis day, at one o'clock, a
meeting of railway shareholders was held in the Cotton
Sales-room, Exchange-buildings, the object being to get
a reform in the management of railways.
Mr. HEYWORTS, M.P., presided, and in opening the
proceedings said any one who had embarked in railway
speculations since the commencement of such undertak-
ing's must have seen that there were crying evils mime.
where, the result of which had been the depreciation et'
some of the finest property, and the shareholders had
lost much of that profit they were entitled to by the eta-
barkat:on of their capital. He alluded strongly to the
branch lines that had been created, nearly all of which
tended to draw off the legitimate traffic from the arterial
lines; and after some further observations urging a re•
form in the railway system, he called upon Mr. Malins,
of London, to address the meetin.r. The latter gentle-
man at come length dwelt upon the enormous amount
of money invested in railway property, and comparing
the ♦alue of English lines with the French ones, ho said
that on the let of June, 1855, 31 British railways,
which had cost 124,000,0001., were worth in the market
only 89,000,0001. ; while 13 French railways, which
cost 31,000,0001., were worth G 0,000,000/. He dwelt
upon the apathy evinced by shareholders in looking after
the interests of the companies in which they had in-
vested money. He also argued that the capital and
revenue should be kept entirely separate, so that the
directors should not be permitted to take the capital to
make up a dividend. Other gentlemen spoke upon the
subject, and it was at length resolved to form a provi-
sional committee, having for its object the best means of
remedying the evils to which allusion had been made,
and to operate with the council in London.

of money invested in railway property, and comparing
the value of English lines with the French ones, he said
that on the let of June, 1855, 31 British railways,

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

The " Wizard of the North," paUsing from the toil of
enacting Rob Roy, revived last night his magical enter-
tainment, with a singular modification, as a prelude to
the pantomime,

After he had performed some of his best tricks—he
was suddenly interrupted by Mr. Leigh Murray, who,
stepping upon the stage, dressed in imitaticn of Mr.
Charles Mathews, very cleverly imitated that excellent
comedian in voice, air, and gesture. The " Wizard"
feigned astonishment at the intrusion ; but Mr. Murray
asserted that he was acme to rival him in the art of
legerdemain, and performed several burlesque tricks by
way of carrying his avowed intention into effect. He
also recited as verse of the " Ratcatcher's Daughter," so
as to make it an imitation of Mr. Charles Kean's style
of declamation, and copied the " Wizard" himself in the
character of Rob Roy. After a certain amount of
badinage, verbal and practical, had passed on both sides.
the true and the false conjurer embraced each other, and
the curtain descended on their protestation of friendship.
Tills medley of magic and mimicry is obviously in-
tended as a retort on the Great Gun Trick at Drury-
lane, in which Professor Anderson is imitated by Mr.
Charles Mathews. On this account certain passages
were construed into personal allusions by a large portion
of the audience, who hissed lustily, while a still larger
portion essayed to overwhelm the demonstration by
shouts of applause. For our own parts, we do not see
that either the original wrong or the retaliation need
awaken any ill-feeling between the partisans of the two
theatres, or that the work either of the J uvenal of Drury-
lane or the Persius of Covent-garden need be regarded
as anything beyond a Christmas pleasantry, contrived
for the purpose of developing an imitative talent.

The Nuremberg Correspondent has a letter from
Vienna, of the 22d, which says :—" The questions
relative to the armistice are so far advanced that
Austria's proposal of establishing it for three
months has been approved of by the Courts of
St. Petersburg and Paris. The consent of Eng-
land is daily expected. That of France was brought
here by Viscount Choty." The same letter adds :
" In consequence of the late pacific turn which
affairs have taken, the army of occupation in the
Principalities will be reduced in a few weeks by
the departure of the major portion of Count Coro-
nini's corps for the Austrian territory. A division
of three regiments under Count Paar will alone
remain."

A letter from Berlin, of the 25th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The developments given by Eng-
land to the sth point were set forth in detail in a
despatch sent to Vienna. This despatch was com-
municated to Count Buol with a request that he
would make known the views and intentions of
England at St. Petersburg. Count Buol referred
on the subject to the general indications given in
his despatch of the 16th."
The Post Ampt Gazette contains a letter from
Berlin, of the 25th, which says :—" The trial of
Dr. Vehse' before the 4th Chamber of the Berlin
Tribunal, has terminated in 'his condemnation to

over, ordered the suppression of the pages 49 and
50 of the third volume of History of the small

Duke William of Mecklenburg. The condemned
has renounced all appeal, and has commenced
undergoing his sentence."

AUSTRIA.

The appointment of E them Pacha as Minister of
Foreign Affairs at Constantinople is regarded in
the political circles of Vienna as a mere provisional
measure. Kepresli Pacha, who represented the
Sultan at the coronation of the Emperor Alexan-
der 11., is already spoken of as his successor.
The Vienna papers state that the Emperor, who
is now in Italy, has entirely removed the seques-
tration from the estates of those Lombardo-Vene-
tian proprietors who have absented themselves
from his dominions for political reasons.
The Augsburg Gazette states that commissioners
nominated by the Zollverein and Austria are about
to meet to investigate the results of the treaty of
commerce of the 19th February, 1853, between the
two powers, and to come to an understanding on
the new facilities that may be afforded for increas-
ing their commercial relations. Austria, adds the
above-named journal, has not only in the course of
the present year made reductions of the import of
raw material and other articles, but has made
known to the States of the Zollverein that she is
disposed to effect other reductions.

MARLBOROTTGILSTREET.

A COUPLE OF PICKPOCKM'S. —Caroline Jones and Ann
Jones, two women of the town, were brought before
Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a purse containing
a sovereign and a quantity of postage stamps, the pro-
perty of John Prince, library attendant at the Army
and Navy Club.

The prosecutor deposed that about half-past 10 last
night he was proceeding through St. James's-square on
his way home when the prisoner Ann Joaes came up
to him, and continued to walk alongside of him for some
distance in spite of his efforts to rid himself of her
society. His purse was at that time safe in his waist-
coat pocket, and in the course of conversation he
felt her hands fumbling about him, and on put-
ting his hand into his waistcoat pocket he missed
his purse, containing a sovereign and several post-
age stamps. He at once laid hold of her arm
and taxed her with the theft, which she stoutly
denied. The other prisoner then came up and asked
what was the matter, and begged him to let her sister
go. He refused to do so and called out "Police " as
loud as he could, and in the meanwhile a man came
up and said there must be some mistake, and advised
him to feel in his pocket again, when no doubt he
would find his purse all right. Witness did feel in
his pocket, and sure enough he there found his purse,
minus the contents. A policeman at that moment came
up and the man walked off. He, however, gave the pri-
soners into custody.

In reply to Mr. Bingham, the prosecutor said he felt
the purse thrust into his pocket by some one, but could
not tell who it was. Neither the money nor the stamp
had been found.

The prisoners who denied the charge were committed
to the House of Correction for three months.
