Sir Colin Campbell arrived in Limerick from

MR. W. SMITH O'BRIEN ON IRELAND.
A scene of peculiar interest, and recalling the
events of former years in Ireland, although in many
ways strongly contrasted with them, was witnessed
on Sunday at Cahermoyle, the seat of Mr. W. S.
O'Brien, near Rathkeale, in the county of Lime-
rick ; a vast multitude of persons congregated from
several of the neighbouring towns and the surround-
ing districts having assembled for the purpose of
giving the late political exile a thorough Irish wel-
come home. The scene took place after divine ser-
vice ; and the people preceded by a band of music
from Limerick, entered the demesne of Cahermoyle
in procession, reminding one by their appearance
and enthusiasm of the monster meetings of 1843.
Several of the neighbouring gentry, and a great
many of the Roman Catholic clergy were present ;
and an address to Mr. S. O'Brien having been read,
that gentleman returned a reply characterised by a
good deal of sound sense and good advice. He said :
"Disappointments, privations, and sufferings fall
lightly, comparatively speaking, upon those who possess
a happy home. My home has been rendered, happy not
only by the possession of every domestic blessing, but
also by the attachment of the population who surround
me. Twenty-two years have elapsed since I first came to
settle in this county, and during that period no one 4or-
curnstance has occurred which could tend to interrupt or
impair the kindly sentiments which I desire to cherish
towards my neighbours in the west of the county of Li-
merick. Or rather I should say that you have lost no op-
portunity of offering to my family and myself the most
unequivocal testimonies of your affection and respect.
Nor can I ever forget that I had been established at
Cahermoyle little more than two months when I was
called forward to represent the county of Lime-
rick, and that you sustained me in that position during
fifteen years on terms more honourable than, rerhaps,
ever subsisted between a member and his constituents.
Let it not be supposed, however, that when I speak in
this manner respecting the inhabitants of the county of
Limerick, I am insensible to the feeling which has been
manifested towards me elsewhere. Seldom have I met
an intelligent foreigner who has nct sympathised with
the wrongs and sufferings of Ireland, or who has failed
to evince his regard for me when he learned that I was
an exile, because I had striven to ward off those suffer-
ings and those wrongs. For the same reason my name
has been mentioned with honour in the colonies and in
America, where the Irish settlers cherish towards Ire-
land feelings more intensely national than those which
at present prevail in this country. I may add, I trust
without arrogance, that notwithstanding all that has
bes.n done to eradicate the sentiment of Irish patriotism,
I have reason to believe that if I had given notice that
I should arrive in Dublin on the seventh anniversary of
my transportation—the 9th of July—l should have been
greeted with as large a " monster meeting" as ever was
assembled within the precincts of the metropolis ; and
that scarcely a week had elapsed after my arrival when
I was offered the representation of the county of Tip-
perary by a body which acts as the organ of a majority
of the freeholders of that county, and who, I have no
doubt, would have been able to give effect to their choice
in case I had acceded to their request. I have been in-
formed, also, that the electors of my native county, Clare,
are desirous that I should occupy the vacancy which
will probably arise at the next election by the retirement
of one of the present members. These manifestations of
opinion I attribute not to my own merits, nor even to
entire c incurrence with my political views, but to the
generous nature of the Irish people. They would re-
proach themselves, even if they did not fear the reproach
of other nations, if they were to exhibit coldness or in-
difference towards those who suffer in an attempt to save
them. My determination to stand aloof from the Bri-
tish Parliament continues unaltered. You kindly allude
to the probability that my son may hereafter represent
the county of Limerick ; at present he is under age, and
will be occupied for several years with the studies neces-
sary to fit him for the bar, to which profession he is des-
tined. If be prove his capacity for public affairs by
successful exertion in his profession, I will not dissuade
liim from adopting whatever career he may consider
most useful to his country. In the meantime, I
am happy to inform yuu that I place unlimited
confidence in his devotion to Ireland. For myself,
many considerations of a domestic kind would at present
r, niter me reluctant to pass six months out of every
year in London ; but these considerations might per-
haps hereafter be overruled, if I were not convinced that
my time can be not only more happily but also more
profitably spent in my native land. I have no desire
again to waste night after night in witnessing or taking
part in the discusi4n of questions relating to Ireland
which are to be determined by the votes of English and
Scotch members, who feel no concern about them, and
who often do not even take the trouble to attend the
discussion, but simply vote• as they are directed by the
leaders of the English Parliamentary party. Nor shall
I conceal from
.you that my sentiments respecting the
interests of this country are not in harmony with those
which at present prevail amongst the influential classes
in Ireland. When in 1843 I avowed myself to be fully
convinced that the only effectual guarantee for the per-
manent welfare of our country is to be found in the
restoration of its legielature, I did not profess this con-
viction only as a means of extorting secondary advan-
tages of either a personal or a national kind for the in-
habitants of Ireland. I adopted it as a stern reality,
the furtherance of which would probably for several
years require many personal sacrifices on the part of
those who became the champions of their country's
rights, and which specially demanded an entire separa-
tion from all connection with English Governments and
English parties. Within the short space of ten years I
have Eeen almost every man who was a prominent leader
in the repeal agitation (except those who were driven
inro exile) become a stipendiary or a supporter of the
British Government. I have no desire to impugn the
motives or conduct of any man, a change cf circum-
..tences sometimes justifies changes of opinions ; and I
always prefer to impute even to doubtful actions hon-

probable circumstances when in 1843 this country was
reduced by misgovernment to a condition more abject
than any that it had known, even in the worst period of
its disastrous history, and when we were deprived of all
constitutional methods of redress, by the suspension of
the Habeas Corpus Act, I thought, and I still think,
that if we had been supported by the Irish nation in the
struggle which we commenced, we should have been able
to secure fur Ireland, within a few months, or perhaps a
few weeks, the inestimable blessing of self government.
A few years' residence in Belgium, which, during the
last 25 years, has been one of the best regulated nations
of Europe, has confirmed me in the conviction that a
Gov;:rninent founded on a successful revolution may be-
come the most stable of all governments. Eut it is vain
to speculate upon what might have happened if we had
succeeded in 1848 in establishing the national or legis-
lative independence of Ireland. Fate decided against us,
and since the occasion required a victim, I rejoice that I,
who was mainly responsible for the abortive movement,
became one of the chief victims, rather than that others
should have suffered—many of whom followed the path
of danger in conse queue of the implicit confidence which

factures or of opium, from India. The exportation
of English goods, however, to China during the
last three years has averaged only about 1,300,0001.,
and therefore not falling off in this item could be of
any moment, and the utmost amount of the dimi-
nution in their consumption of opium would pro-
bably not exceed 1,000,0001. Hence it is upon the
silk payments that the gravity of the case depends.
This fact at once throws light upon the assertion
that England can sustain no appreciable injury from
the movements about to take place. To France it
must be a point of anxiety whether the manufac-
turers of Lyons obtain their staple from their own
growers or are compelled to buy the produce of
China, but England does not grow silk, and therefore
has always to pay for what she consumes. There is
no reason to assume that this year she will take,
either in quantity or value, more than her regular
amount. Indeed, according to the laws that com-
monly regulate such matters, the augmentation in
price is likely in a more than equivalent degree to
check consumption. The excess that arrives will
consequently be shipped to foreign countries, and
in its effect on the exchanges will operate as if, in-
stead of silk, wo had received so much bullion.
But although every dollar we are now parting,
with will this ultimately be repaid with the addi-
tion of some considerable profit for our services as
carriers, insurers, and agents, there can he no doubt
that the withdrawal of specie which must be sub-
mitted to in the intervening period is calculated to
contract our circulation, and perhaps occasion even
an increase of the pressure now regarded with dis-
appointment. The opinion of some of the leading
East India houses in London is that in the twelve
months from July 1856 to July 1857 a total of
8,000,0001. will have to be paid to China and India
in excess of that which was paid in the preceding
12 months. This calculation may be too high, but
it is as well to assume its correctness. They reckon
an increase of 5,000,0001. in the value and quantity
of silk, a reduction of 1,001,0i0/. in the value and
quantity of the opium to be supplied from India to
China, and a limitation of the drawings of the
India House upon the territorial revenues to
2,000,0001. below the usual amount. In this way
there is 5,000,0001. more to pay and 3,000,0001.
less to receive, and a consequent alteration of
8,000,0001. in our relative position.
Such a sum, added to 10,000,000/. or more,
which was the amount taken from us in the 12
months to July last, would make a serious aggre-
gate to be provided in the ensuing season. There
are, however, a number of counteracting circum-
stances already coming into play which will alter
the prospect. In the first place there is no reason
to suppose that the imports of produce from India
will this year approach their previous total. It is
believed that 4,000,0001. or 5,000,0001. may be
struck off, including 1,000,0001. for rice and
2,000,0001. or 3,000,0001. for seeds, &c. It is
also to be questioned if the India louse.will be
able to limit their drawings to the amount con-
templated. They require between 3,000,0001. and
4,000,0001. for their disbursements in England, but.
hesitate to draw it lest they should compel the
local Government to resort to a 5 percent. loan.
To this, however, they must probably come at last,
and they will, perhaps, recognise the necessity for
it, instead of continuing the palliative of trusting
to their railway funds.
In this way the extra amount required may be
reduced from 8,000,0001. to 2,000,0001. without
taking into account the possibility of an increased
consumption of opium or of European goods being
yet witnessed in China, when the silver, lately de-
spatched thither shall have had time to create an
effect. It is only recently that the quantities sent
to that country have been so enormous, and, not-
withstanding the war and the hoarding propensi-
ties of the people, it is reasonable to expect that
their newly-acquired wealth will not be entirely
buried.
Estimating, however, that a total of 12,000,0001.
will be required during the 12 months ending July
next, the limits of the inconvenience we are likely
to sustain may be easily comprehended. In 1855,
the worst year of the war, we parted with nearly
5,000,0001. to the same region, without much
trouble, and in the first eight or nine months of
this year we have already sent away more than
8,000,0001. Meanwhile the results are manifesting
themselves in the increasing arrival of valuable
cargoes, which must tend to keep us in an excel-
lent position, not only with the Continent, but
with America. Supposing our European relations
to involve no drain, the Australian gold arrivals
alone would enable us to buy silver to meet the
whole demand for the East, even apart from the
Mexican supplies, while the California receipts via
New York or the Isthmus would remain to swell
existing SterAs.
This result, however, even in a
partial degree—for there must always, as London

For several years Mr. Scargill was engaged along with
other classical scholars, including Mr. George Burgess,
Dr. Maj )r, E. H. Barker. &c,, in editing, revising, or
translating as required, the works issued by Mr. A.
J. Va:py. Among these I may mention the
" Delphin C'as-ies," "Schrevelius's Greek Lexicon," the
Latin interpretations of which were rendered into Eng-
lish ; " Robertson's Latin Phrase Book," and many
other works of scholastic He was also the author
of many novels and tales, which are in good repute.
Witness "Trucklebor,ugh Hall," "Rank and Talent,"
" Provincial Sketches," "Trials and Triumphs," "Light
in Darkness," "Atherton," "The Usurer's Daughter,"
"The Puritan's Grave," &c. He was on the staff of the
Atlas; and contributed to Blackwood, the New Monthly,
&c., and wrote occasionally for the Atherumn. He was
the personal friend of the late Mr. Barnes of the Times.
After his death his widow collected and published, in 2
vois., sketches and essays by him, under the title of the
" Widow's Offering."
In proof of Mr. Scargill's recognised position in the
literary world, when on his delth bed, and without any
application on her part, Mrs. Scargill received from the
Royal Literary Fund, 30/. ; no sooner was his death
known than 201. more was forwarded to her, voluntarily,
from the sane institution.

When Mrs. Scargill first sent in her claim for a pen-
sion, that claim was recognised by Sir Robert Peel, the
First Lord of the Treasury ; and in token of that recog-
nition, he sent her a donation from the Royal Bounty
Fund. The Earl of Derby and the present Premier
responded in like manner from the same source ; and so
late as within the last fourteen months, Lord Palmer-
ston, to use his own words in a letter to a member of
the House of Commons, "made a note of her case for
future consideration."

Sir, I have no personal interest in Mrs. Scargill. I
simply addre-s myself to you in regard to her on public
grounds. Till recently, I was not acquainted with her,
or with her case. lam very unwilling to make any
comments on the manner in which the pension money,
ostensibly set apart for the encouragement of literature,
science, and art, is applied ; but at the same time it is
utterly impossible fcr me to shut my eyes to the fact
that of that pension money (1,2001.), from June, 1855,
to June, 1856, not less than 9251. was appropriated to
purposes for which it was never intended. Out of it the
three eldest daughters of that distinguished warrior,
Lieutenant-General Cathcart, receive 1001. per annum
each. In the name of all that is consistent, why should
these ladies be quartered on this portion of the civil
list ? What has literature, science, and art, to do with
those who shed their blood at [nkerman, at Alma, and
in the brilliant charge of the Cavalry Light Brigade? In
the name of right reason and of common sense, if so
paltry a sum as 1,2001. a-year is all that is to be set
apart from the public funds for encouragement to litera-
ture, science, and art, while thousands, and tens of
thousands, can be found for purposes of a far less benefi-
cial description, let it at least be confined to the objects
which it has in view, and let it not be squandered on
purposes which are not in any degree connected with
it.—l am, &c., JOIIN MARSHALL.
Windsor, Sept. 16.

The CHAIRMAN said he thought that a wise course had
been adopted. It did not surprise him to hear a
diversity of opinion expressed on the position of the
company, but he did not despair of the prosperity of the
undertaking. He felt that the Canadian Legislature
would afford the shareholders the relief they required,
sod it would be impolitic for them to reject the act that
had been passed. It was not the way to get relief to
refuse that which had been given. It was absolutely
necessary that funds should be raised to meet the exi-
gencies of the company ; and, under these circumstances,
the directors were compelled to recommend to the sanc-
tion of the shareholders an increase of the capital of the
company to the amount of 500,000/. This amount they
suggested should be raised by the creation of deben-
tures. It would be seen by their accounts that they
had no surplus in hand, and it was imperative that
the sum he had mentioned should be raised, in order to
meet the sum that would have to be provided before the
Ist of January for interest. Under all the circum-
stances he thought the best course to adopt was to raise
the 500,0001. on bonds, to come in for payment after
the other bonds already issued. He assured the meet-
ing that everything that was possible was being done to
put the company in a good position.
Mr. CLARK believed that nothing but mismanagement
had placed the company in the position they at present
occupied, and he thought that the appointment of a com-
mittee, and the adjournment of the present meeting for
a few days, would be the best thing that could be done
at present. 3.
4r. WEGTIILIN entered at some length into the diffi-
culties that had beset the operations of the undertaking,
but he did not think there was any cause for despon-
dency as to the ultimate prosperity of the company.
The Hon. Mr. Ross explained the different points in
the report that had been alluded to, and said he should
feel great pleasure in answering any questions that
might be put to him.
A SHA.REHOLDER begged to ask why Mr. Liddell's
proposition for the Victoria-bridge was not carried out ?
Mr. Ross said he would answer the question in a few
words, namely, he did not think that the present was a
fit or proper place to entev into a scientific discussion.
(Hear, hear, and "Oh, oh.")
A SHAREHOLDER asked when the bridge, with the
present expectations, would be completed I
Mr. Ross—lf no unforeseen obstacles should occur,
the bridge would be finished in 1860.
Mr. DOUGLAS was about to address the meeting, when
Mr. GLYNN rose to a point of order—he wished to
know whether Mr. Douglas, he being only a bond-
holder, could address the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said he was legally informed that Mr.
Douglas could not address the meeting.
A. discussion on the point arose, but it was ultimately
decided that Mr. Douglas had not the power to speak.
Mr. CLARK said he believed the time had arrived at
which they ought to move the adjournment of the meet-
ing. He begged, therefore, to move that the present
meeting be adjourned for a fortnight.
The motion having been seconded, it was put to the
meeting and negatived, as was also another proposition
that an adjournment take place for a month.
Mr. CAMERON, a member of the Canadian Legislature,
stated that he had great confidence in the ultimate suc-
cess of the undertaking, and advised the shareholders
not to depreciate or sell their sock. He did not think
they would get the per cent., as the original pros-
pectus set forth ; but he thought that they would get 5
or 6. In order to secure this it would be absolutely ne-
cessary to alter their present system of management.
He thought it would be desirable, in order to secure the
prosperity of the undertaking, to have one or two gen-
tlemen, in whom they had confidence, in Canada, as
managing directors, having seats at the board, and also
possessing the power to receive and use proxies. This
plan had been conceded by the Legislature to the Great
Western Railway, and he had net the slightest doubt
that the same concession would be made to the Grand
Trunk Railway. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman
having given a very exee!lenc description of their property
in Canada, concluded by coffin,' upon the sharehol-
ders not to lose heart in the undertaking, and assured
the meeting that the Canadian people would fulfil ail
their promises to the very letter.
Sir A. M‘Nan entirely concurred in the observations
of Mr. Cameron.
The CHAIRMAN said that the following passage in the
report would show what was the feeling of the directors
as to the proposed alteration in the constitution of the
London Board :—" The serious attention of the Lond, n
Board has been drawn to the existing constitution of the
direction, divided as it now is into two sections, sitting in
Canada and in London. The functions of the latter body
are very limited, and while they appear to impose responsi-
bility, do not afford any power of effectual control. It may
be absolutelynecessarytbat the English shareholders should
be more effectually represented at the Canadaßoard, and
that the representative should be invested with power to
act for their interests there. The directors are informed
that it is the intention of the Canadian Government to
propose to Parliament an alteration in the constitution of
the board by withdrawing their directors and substituting
a commissioner unconnected with the Executive Govern-
ment." He thought, that being the case, it would be
unfair to fetter the directors by passing any resolu-
tion on the subject.
In reply to a Shareholder,
The CHAIRMAN said the directors were desirous to act
in harmony with the Great Western Railway of Canada,
if possible. It was not true that any difference existed
between them.
The motion for the adoption of the report was then
put from the chair and agreed to unanimously.
The following are the resolutions which are to be sub-
mitted to the general meeting to be held during the pre-
sent autumn in Canada :
" That the company accept the act of the last session of
the Provincial Parliament of Canada, leaving the directors
to urge such modifications upon the Government of Canada
as they consider expedient.
"That the sum of two millions of preferential capital,
authorised by the said act, be raised by the issue thereun-
der of preferential bonds of the company to that amount,
each bond to be for DO/. sterling, and to bear interest at
six per cent., and to be repayable in 25 years, such bonds
to be offered, in the first instance, to the shareholders in
proportion to their respective shares, and any not taken
up by the shareholders to be sold by the directors in such
manner and at such prices as they shall from time to time
determine.
"That the additional agreement with the English con-
tractors, and the further agreement with the Atlantic and
St. Lawrence Railway Company, under which additional
shares of that company to the extent of 140,9381. 17s. id.,
have been issued to this company, be and the same are
hereby approved.
" That the resolution of the directors dated the 20th
day of Auc,ust, 1856, for increasing under the authority of
the Grand Railway Act, 1854, the capital of the
thecom epoamnypabnyy,the sum of 500,0001., be, and the same i
hereby approved, and that the directors be, and they are

ocrolmopoal.n
years, and that such bonds be issued by the directors upon
such terms and conditions, and at such premium or dis-
count, and to such persons as they shall, from time to

The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to
the chairman.

Sir,—l am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to state
to you that, with a view to enable his lordehip to fur-
nish Viscount Stratford de Redcliffa with instructions as
to the support to be afforded to Major-General Chesney
and the company which he represents, Lord Clarendon
w.)uld be glad to receive from you precise statements and
prticulars as to the proposed Euphrates Railway, and
as to the assistance which can be afforded by her Ma-
jesty's Anab tssador.—l am, sir, your most obedien
servant,

(Signed)

To W. P. Andrews, E-q.
(AN SW= )

SHELBURNE.

August 26, 1856.
My Lord,—l have the honour to Acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 19th inst., requesting me
to communicate for the information of the Earl of
Clarendon precise statements and particulars regarding
the Euphrates Valley Railway Company, to enable his
lordship to give instructions to Viscount Stratford de
Redcliffe to support Major-General Chesney on his
mission to Constantinople, as the representative of the
Euphrates Valley Railway Company.
2. In reply, I beg to state the objects contemplated by
this company are shortly as follows :-
3. This company is established to connect the Medi-
terranean and the Persian Gulf by a railway from the
ancient port of Seleucia by Antioch and Aleppo, to
Jaber Castle on the Euphrates, of 80 miles in length,
and afterwards from thence by other towns to Bagdad,
and on the head of the Persian Gulf. Thence by steamers
communication will be established with all parts of
India.

4. The effect of the proposed contract to be entered
into between the sublime Porte and this company will
be, that the Ottoman Government guarantee a minimum
dividend on the capital required at 6 per cent. per an-
num for 99 years, with power to raise capital for
steamers, at a rate to be hereafter mentioned.
5. The Ottoman Government grant a lease of the land
necessary for the railway and works for 99 years, free of
charge. _

6.-On the opening of the line, all nett profits exceed-
ing the rate of dividend guaranteed, are to go to the
Ottoman Government, in liquidation of the dividends
they have advanced. When this advance is repaid the
entire surplus goes to the shareholders.
7. At the expiration of 99 years the land with th•
railway and works pertaining thereto will become the
property of the Ottoman Government, who will at the
same time purchase the rolling stock at a valuation to
be settled by arbitration.
8. The Ottoman Government guarantee the company
against all competition from works of a similar character,
and grant the right of land, woods, forests, and quarries,
the property of the state, at a certain distance at each
side of the line.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I Holloway's Ointment and Pills
aro infallible Remedies for Ab:cesse.3.—Mr. H. Rod-
well, of Great Canterbury-place, Lambeth, had been
tormented with a fearful abscess in the arm, so extensive
and deeply seated that his medical attendant despaired
of his ultimate recovery. He had been dismissed as in-
curable from three hospitals when he was recommended
to make use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which
he did, and with such signal success that in one month
the abscess commenced healing, its virulence abated,
and shortly afterwards it was completely cured.--Sold
by all medicine vendors throughout the world ; at
Professor Holloway's Establishments, 244, Strand,
London, and 80, Maiden lane, New York ; by A.

Pacha Grand Vizier, when in this country, and M.
Musurus, with General Chesney and myself, his High-
ness referring me, as the chairman of the company, to

power to give effect to the preliminary agreement, so
that the firman might be issued giving the formal and
official sanction of the Sublime Porte to the concession
and guarantee.

General Chesney, their consulting engineer, for this mis-

Turkey and its people, and from his I.igh and honourable
character, he is peculiarly qualified to conclude arrange-
