Now that we are at length in a fair way of hay-
ing the abomination of the Serpentine purified by
the agency of common sense, working out the ac-
cummitlations of decayed vegetables, dead dogs,
and all manner of pollution, into an aggregate of
deep poisonous mud, the pablic attention is next
called to the state of our streets and metropolitan
roads. And what nuisance
cries more for
relief? It is by the air
pervading these
thoroughfares that we breathe and walk
and have our being. They arc the portals of life
and the lungs of society. If they be foul we suffer ;
if the air be pure, we enjoy and thrive. Our health
improves and our spirits are up. Then why should
we toil on, day by day, and permit a growing evil to
acquire a most unwholesome ascendancy till in
time the air becomes infected with a noisome sense
of suffocation ? It arises from a caleless indifference

SHOCKING DB-4TII.

An inquest was held at Stamford on Monday
evening, on the body of Miss E. Pulley, aged 63,
who was found the same morning burnt to death
in her own residence.. It appears that the deceased,
who lived by herself in a house in High-street, St.
Martin's, and was a regular attendant at church,
did not make her appearance on Sunday, and as
she had not been seen since the previous Wednes-
day, and no smoke had issued for a few days from
either of the chimneys of her house, fears were en-
tertained that something serious had happened to
her. On an entry being made a fearful
sight was presented. The body of the unfor-
tunate lady was on the floor, with the head
near the fire grate, a black _and charred
mass, resembling in appearance a burnt log
of wood. Her -clothes, which were all burnt to
tinder, lay:on the floor around. The right hand and
arm to the elbow were burnt nearly to a cinder.
The materials for kindling a fire were laid in the
grate, and a candlestick (the candle burnt to the
socket) was standing near the grate by the side of
the corpse, from which it is supposed that the un-
fortunate deceased came downstairs on Thursday
morning, and was going to light the fire, when she fell
down in a fit, her clothes caught the flame, and she
was burnt to death. Search was made to ascertain if
there had been any robbery or violence,but nothing
was discovered to lead to a suspicion that any
property had been stolen. On looking over the
drawers and boxes of the deceased several vouchers
and documents of different matters were found,
several trinkets, many valuable books, and an un-
used cheque for £5OO. The deceased, who, although
eccentric and penurious, was very charitable, lived
in the house all alone, not having bad a domestic
for many years. She had neither bell nor knocker
to the door, having had them taken off on account
of beinc, frequently pestered with beggars ; and it
was often difficult for persons to get access to her
on business. She died without leaving a will, and
her property, about £l5O a year, will go to a rela-
tive at Putney. The jury returned a verdict of
" Accidentally burnt to death."

CORN EXCHANGE.

Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Satur-
day were rather scantily supplied with wheat, for which
the demand ruled steady, at a further advance in the quo-
tations of ls. per quarter. All kinds of spring corn moved
off freely at very full prices, and the value of flour had an
upward tendency.

Higher quotations have been paid for wheat in the Con-
tinental markets, and rather large quantities have sold
for export to England. Other articles have continued firm.
In the United States both wheat and flour have realised
rather more money.

The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were limited. From abroad we received 2,800 quar-
ters of wheat, 3,350 barley, 2,792 beans, 501 tares, 10,620
linseed, 5,459 rapeseed, 50 sundry seeds, 40 sacks and 300
barrels of flour.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coastwise
and by land carriage, was again limited ; hence the show el
samples was small. For all kinds the demand ruled some-
what active at an advance in the quotations realised on
Monday last of from is to 2s per qr, and at which a clear-
ance was speedily effected. The general condition of the
supply was by no means first-rate.

We were rather scantily supplied with foreign wheat,
owing to many of the importers having withdrawn their
samples from the market. A fair average 'Jusiness was
passing in most kinds at fully is per qr over the rates cur-
rent on this day se'nnight.

There was an improved inquiry fofi floating cargoes at
full quotations.

The few samples of barley on offe'c were readily disposed
of, at fully last Monday's currency.
There was only a limited sale for malt, nevertheless
prices were supported.

We had a fair inquiry for oats.. In prices, however, very
little change took place.
Moans moved off steadily, at extreme rates.
Most kinds of peas were arm, but the demand for them
was not so very active.

The flour trade was rather active, and prices had an up-
ward tendency,

TURIN, MAucn 24

A proclamation of the King to the people of
Central Italy has been published. The following

is a summary :
" Your wishes are satisfied. You are united
under one monarchy, a reward well merited by
your unity and perseverance. It is, however,
necessary to continue the virtues of which you
have given such an admirable example to the
world. Above all things, persevere in the firm
resolution to make such sacrifices as are indis-
pensable for accomplishing and establishing great
enterprises. We are now bound by an indisso-
luble pact of honour to our common country and
to universal civilisation. I have exposed my life
for the independence of Italy, and I have given
my rcople an example of loyalty. I now claim
from my new peoples the same affection as from
my former subjects. I desire to strengthen the
Italians in the unanimity of their resolution to re-
sist aggression and to prepare continually for better
things."

PARIS, MARcll 26

The Constitutionnel publishes an article by its
chief editor, M. Grandguillot, congratulating the
King, who is about to address a proclamation to the
inhabitants of Savoy and Nice, releasing them
from their oath of allegiance, thus assuring his re-
spect for the principle of legitimacy, and, at the
same time, for that of popular sovereignty.

A FRESH MAN

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.

PARIS, MARCH 24.

Commercial affairs still remain in a state of stag-
nation. Merchants and speculators are waiting un-

til the new Customs' tariff shall come into force to
commence operations. Although the import duties
fixed by the new tariff are high, one great point has
been gained—prohibition is condemned to perish.
Accounts from Mulhouse state that there is very
little business doing, and that prices are looking
down. There has been a rise in the price of sugar
in the Paris market; good fourth quality is worth
70f. the 100 kilogrammes in bond. Sugar has like-
wise risen at Lille ; and ordinary beetroot sugar is
readily bought at 60f. the 100 kilogrammes in bond
for exportation. There were 500 casks of French
West India sugar sold last week at Havre at 62f. in
bond, and 1,500 casks for exportation at 64f. ;
6,025 bags for Falmouth at 67f. There has likewise
been a rise on coffee at Havre. There were alto-
gether 32,160 bags sold, of which 3,000 were front
Haiti at 76f. 50c. and 76f. 75. the 50 kilogrammes.
The remainder varied from 73f. 50c. to: 80f. There
were few buyers in the Paris flour market last week,
and, in order to effect sales, it was necessary to
make a reduction in the price. Flour of the four
marks was likewise dull of sale. It is quoted at 55f.
25c. the sack of 157 kil9grammes for the month of
April 58f. for June, and 59f. for July. Good wheat
was scarce in the Paris market last week, and prices
firm at a rise of 30c. the hectolitre. The price of
wheat was likewise well maintained in the provin-
cial markets last week. Oats are less offered. The
Minister of War required 5,400 quintals of oats for
the service of Paris, and could procure only 2,000
quintals at 19f. 20c. the 100 kilogrammes,
being 21e. higher than the contract concluded by
Minister on the 22d February. Rye is in less de-
mand at 201. 50c. the sack of 115 kilogrammes.
Barley, on the contrary, is firm at 201. for ordinary
quality.

CLOSE OF THE EXETER-HALL SERVlCES—Yester-
day evening the fifth of the series of Exeter-hall services,
out of which arose the special services at Westminster
Abbey and St. Paul's, were brought to a close, the sermon
being preached by the Rev. Edward Garbett, M.A., of
Brasenose College, Oxford, incumbent of St. Bartholomew's
Church, Gray's-inn-lane.
FALL OF A RAILWAY ARCH.—On Saturday,
about one o'clock, one of the newly-formed arches for the
Exeter and Yeovil line of railway, in the York-road, Lam-
beth, fell in with a tremendous crash. The labourers, about
200 in number, were at dinner at the time, and they for-
tunately saved their lives. The recent damp weather was
the Oppp9oed cause of the accident.

THE THIRD ERA IN THE PROGRESS OF STEAM
POWER!
"A Steam Plough for the Idle Soil of the World."

(IN WEDNESDAY, March 28, a WORKING
V-, MODEL, illustrating the traction principle of
"GILES'S ROAD AND FIELD LOCOMOTIVE,"

will appear in St. George's-road, Southwark, between '2
and
6 p.m. The use of this Engine offers to the capitalist, the
West India planter, the British farmer, and the pioneer and
prairie farmers of the world, an unlimited supply of practical
•steam labour suited to perform all the duties of agriculture
and road transport with economy, reliability, and efficiency.
The vast staple resources which lie in embryo in the idle
soil of the Colonies. the forests of Africa, and the jungles of
India, need only labour to develope them ; idle ships and
railroads are waiting to transport them ; capital is waiting a
profitable field for investment ; idle factories and artisans
are waiting to manufacture them ; and the world's 300 mil-

lions of poor and uncivilised are waiting to promote their
consumption, and to yield to the influence of inclustry,civilis-
ation, and the gospel.
A Practical Steam Plough is the next step in industrial
progress, and the remedy for idle ships, for idle capital, and
for idle men, lies not in going back to protection, but on to
production.

A special meeting of this company was held at
Cardiff on Wednesday to consider a bill to enable
the Brecon and Merthyr Tydvil Junction Railway
to complete their communication with Brecon—Mr.
J. Poole in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN explained the nature of the bill,
stating that as the line at present existed it would
terminate south of Dowlais, but the company were
desirous of extending it across the ravine to join the
Taff Vale Railway at Merthyr, and they asked the
Taff Vale Company to join them in the undertak-
ing, and to allow a permissive clause in their bill to
enable the company to subscribe £30,000 to the
undertaking. He then moved a resolution approv-
ing the bill.
Mr. BUSHELL seconded the motion, which was

NORTH BRITISH.

The report of the directors congratulates the
shareholders upon the steady progress of the traffic
receipts and the gradual augmentation of the
dividend upon the share capital. The gross
revenue of the half-year ending the 31st of January
last amounted to £157,516, as compared with
£149,277 in the corresponding period of last year.
The net revenue was £63,971, as compared with
£61,339 in January, 1859. That would enable the
company to pay all preferential charges and a divi-
dend on the ordinary consolidated stock at the rate
of 3 per cent. per annum, being a rise of one quar-
ter cent. for the whole year, carrying over £l,lOO
more than in the preceding half-year. The aver-
age rate of interest paid on the company's deben-
ture loans amounted to £4 3s. 7d. per cent. The
contractors on the Border Union line had made such
progress as to justify the belief that the period as-
signed for the completion of the respective contrac-
tors would be amply sufficient. The financial
scheme for raising the means of construction had
proved completely successful, and more than one-
half the share capital had already been paid. The
Border Counties Railway was also now in course of
construction throughout its entire length, and it
was intended to open that portion connecting the
Plashett coalfield with Riccarton simultaneously
with the line from Riccarton for Carlisle, render-
ing it an easy matter to accomplish the through
routes from Harwich to Hexham and Carlisle toge-
ther. Bills for amalgamation with the Border
Counties and Peebles and Jedburgh Companies
were now before Parliament. The minimum divi-
dend applicable to the Peebles ordinary stock had
been fixed at 41 per cent. The directors had deter-
mined to ask the sanction of the shareholders to an
agreement with the local promoters of a railway
from Galashiels to Innerleithen and Peebles, a dis-
tance of 181 miles, at an estimated cost of less than
£70,000. The North British Company propose to
work this line at 43 per cent. of the receipts, and to
subscribe £44,000. The directors had felt it their
duty to oppose in Parliament bills promoted by
other railway companies for the amalgamation of
the Edinburgh and Glasgow, Caledonian, and Scot-
tish Central Railway Companies, and also the amal-
gamation of the Newcastle and Carlisle and North-
Eastern Companies. The capital account showed
that £4,698,864 had been received and £4,656,794
expended, leaving a balance of £42,070. The
Border Union capital account showed that £262,708
had been received and £168,372 expended, leaving
a balance, on the 31st Jan. last, of £94,336.
London, England, 1860-03-19

_RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE:

SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN.

T he report of the directors of this company states
that. the revenue for the half-year ending the 31st
of J an. last amounted to £104,307, and the expendi-
twee to £47,122, leaving a balance of £57,184, of
which £40,029 belongs to the Aberdeen revenue
account and £17,155 to the Scottish Midland re-
venue account. Deducting interest on debentures
and. other preferable charges, the balance available
for dividend on the Aberdeen capital stock was
£18,977. From this sum was deducted £1,924, the
deficiency on guaranteed dividends:of last half-year,
leaving £17,053. Out of this sum was deducted
£1,280 for dividend on the 32 per cent stock, £8,300
for dividend on the 6 per cent. stock, and £5,250 on
the 7 per cent, stock, leaving a balance of £2,223 for
the next account. The balance available for dividend
on the Scottish Midland capital stock was £13,370,
out of which the directors proposed to pay a divi-
dend at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, leaving
£1,616 for the next account. The directors were
anxious that the proprietors of original stock should
begin as early as possible to participate in a divi-
dend, however small; but as the past half year was
more productive than the current, and the dividend
upon the 32 per cent. stock, No. 2, having com-
menced to accrue on the Ist of February last, they
had resolved that the balance should not in the
meantime be paid away in dividend, but be laid
maids as a reserve until the result of the working
of the present half-year was ascertained. The direc-
tors congratulated the shareholders upon the satis-
factory position of the company's affairs. The
increase in the revenue amounted to upwards of
£4,000, while the expenditure had been kept very
low. The directors had found it necessary to ex-
pend £650 from revenue during the half-year in
repairing and strengthening the timber viaducts on
the line. The working expenses were now reduced
to 411 per cent. on the revenue, and, as compared
with the corresponding period of last year, they
showed a decrease of more than 3 per sent. The
average rate of interest on the debenture debt was
now a little under 41 per cent. All that now re-
mained unadjusted in regard to the Perth station
was the expense of the Caledonian engine, which
had been working the traffic over the disputed
piece of line, and the maintenance of the general
station since 1852. The directors acknowledged
the valuable services rendered by Lord Chandos in
relation to the framing of the Perth station agree-
ment, which had the effect of saving much trouble
and expense to all the companies concerned. The
consolidated capital of the company amounted to
£1,979,264, and the debentures to £742,167—t0ta1,
£2,721,431. The amount of capital expended on
the Aberdeen Railway amounted to £1,924,118, on
the Scottish Midland to £690,491, and on joint
account to £l73,BBo—total, £2,788,489.

THIS DAY.

CIVIL SERVICE.

This committee assembled this morning—Lord Stanley
in the chair.

Mr. J. G. Maitland, secretary to the Civil Service Com-
missioners, was examined on various points with respect to
age and ability of the candidates nominated for Government
situations. The rejections on account of age amounted
to comparatively few. The rejections on account of want
of ability and defective education amounted in the year
1855 to the end of 1856 to 880, in 1857 to 490, in 1858 to
292, and in 1859 to 310—making in all, 19,072 rejections.
The reason the number had fallen of in the latter years was
attributable not to the improved education of the candidates,,
but to the diminished number of persons examined, as the
vacant situations had been such that a very easy standard
of examination had been fixed upon.
