The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

Translated from the German of Dr. PICItFORD.

" Dr. Pickfoid is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous Practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between trite Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which ream:sole it ere accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is ofered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

MADRAS.

The half-yearly meeting of this
,company was
held yesterday at the London Tavern—Major-Gen.
Sim in the chair;

The report, which was of considerable length,
was taken as read. It stated that during the past
half-year the operations had been vigorously pur-
sued on the several lines in course of construction.
Several additional sections of the main line had
been opened, and the remainder brought near com-
pletion. The works on the Bangalore line had gone
actively forward, considerable progress had been
made on the Bellary line, and its first section of 17
miles was now about to be opened for traffic. On
the main line the section from Goriattum to Amboor,
17 miles, was opened on the 16th Jan. last, to
Vanimbady, 10 miles more, on the Ist Feb., and to
Tripatore, 14 miles, on the 23d May, making 41
miles of new line, and completing 137 miles from
Madras. The terminal buildings at Beypoor were
sufficiently advanced to cause no delay in opening
the line when ready. By the end of this year very
.little would remain to be done for the completion
of the, railway between Madras and Beypoor—a
distance of 400 miles from coast to coast. The first
section of the Bellary branch from Arconum to
Naggery, 17 miles, would be opened this month,
giving a continuous railway communication of nearly
60 miles from Madras towards Cuddapa, and upon
which a considerable traffic was expected. The total
number of passengers carried in the six months was
450,224, being nearly three times the number car-
ried in the corresponding half of 1859. The receipts
exceeded by 63-per cent. those of the correspond-
ing period of last year. The amount of goods traffic
carried exceeded that of the corresponding period
by 621 per cent., and the receipts by 541- per cent.
those of that period, the quantity carried being
34,461 tons, against 21,168 tons, and the receipts
£10,564 against £6,823 for the corresponding half
of 1859. The gross traffic for the half-year ending
the 30th June last amounted to £35,598, against
£23,783 for the corresponding period, and the ex-
penses to 117,551, or 49.30 per cent., against £9,208,
or 38.71 per cent. The receipts for carriage of per-
manent way materials amounted to 11 per cent. of
the gross receipts.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, explained the state of the works at different
places on the company's lines. The progress had
been satisfactory, and it was expected that the
main line would be opened to Salem, 205 miles
from Madras, on the Ist of January next, and soon
after to Colmbatore. The whole distance from
Madras to Beypoor, of over 400 miles, would be
opened for traffic in the course of next year. The
Bangalore branch, 84 miles in length, would be
completed and opened as soon as possible, and
from which they expected a considerable traffic.
Mr. NORTON seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report.
In reply to questions, it was stated that the cost
of the line already executed had been about £7OOO
a-mile, exclusive of rolling stock, and they had no
reason to suppose that that rate of cost would be
exceeded. Experimental rates had been adopted
with a view to divert the goods traffic from the
road to the railway. First-class fares for passen-
gers were lid per mile, the second id. per mile,
and the third •Z
-d. per mile. The charge for goods
was ld. per ton per mile.
The report was unanimously adopted, and the '
proceedings terminated.
