A TREMENDOUS LEAP BY A PONY.—A pony be-
longing to Mr. Lovatt, builder and contractor, Darlington-
street, took a leap a few days ago which will astonish even
the readers of the sporting journals. Thep ony stands only
about 131 hands high, and whilst being harnessed in the
owner's yard it suddenly took fright and leaped over a pair
of gates about 8j feet high. The animal's hind legs caught
as she was going over and tore away the fastenings, but
the pony dropped safely in the street outside, and the only
injury sustained was a slight cut. After this extraordi-
nary leap she proceeded no further, but allowed herself to
be quietly led back to the stable. ll'olverhamplon Chronicle

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.
The usual half-yearly meeting was held yester-
day at the Waterloo Station—Captain Mangles in
the chair. Mr. F. Clarke (the secretary)
having
read the notice convening the meeting, the report
(an abstract of whiclt has already appeared) was
taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
said be regretted that the reduction of divi-
report,
dend which the directors in February last had inti-
mated that as honest men they should feel them-
selves bound to recommend for the next half-year
would now have to be proposed. It was not a very
large reduction, but inasmuch as it might be unsa-
tisfactory to some of the shareholders, it therefore
could not be pleasing to the directors as their re-
presentatives. The directors, however, felt that this
was not a state of things that ought to continue,
and he assured the meeting that they should feel it
their duty to exert their best energies to the utter-
most for the reduction of the company's expenditure
—(hear, hear)—whether by checking the introduc-
tion of new lines or extensions of their old line, or
by devoting their best attention to the working in
the most advantageous manner of our present sys-
tem of railways. On the former occasion he so fully
explained the causes that the board expected would
lead to the reduction of dividend this half year that
he need not trespass again on their attention, ex-
cept to say that, though some of those causes still
existed, he was yet able to say that brighter days
for the future were now beaming over them. The
directors did not attempt to disguise that the naval
review had brought some additional £5,000 or
£6,000 to the earnings of the line, still the surplus
as compared with the corresponding six months of
last year showed an increase of £17,600. This the
directors considered a very satisfactory result.
(Cheers.) The traffic of the last week as made up
to Sunday (the usual day) showed an addition of
£1,700 as compared with a similar return of last
year. During the last half year the following receipts
had come in, viz.:—£s9 6s. sd. on account of or-
dinary stock ; £94,586 9s. 10d. to the 41 and 5 per
cent. preference stock ; £28,626 to the perpetual 4
and 41 per cent. mortgage stock, or, alit was usually
called, debenture stock, and £197,251 mortgage
bonds or debentures. With reference to the debit
side of the capital account, it would be found that
there had been expended on the older lines £139,746;
on works in progress, £173,245 ; and on new plant,
£36,303. As regarded the last two sums they would
doubtless produce hereafter an entirely new and
increased revenue, the former by opening up new
sources of traffic, and the latter by furnishing the
plant to work that new traffic. With regard to the
first item, he held in his hand an analysis of the
expenditure to the last shilling. He would not ex-
haust the patience of the meeting by going through
the whole of the items, but a few of the principal
ones it was important he should advert to. Taking
the items £16,666 17s. 9d. and £22,215, those were
for the original line, and it should be remembered
that whereas the original line was only the 78 miles
to Southampton, they now worked upwards of 500
miles. It would therefore be obvious that they
must have larger platforms, larger stations, and other
accommodation in proportion. These sums could
hardly therefore be called a continual increase of
capital, but ought rather to be regarded as an in-
creasing outlay for plant to carry on their works.
He could assure the shareholders that any outlay of
that sort was carefully watched by the board, and
that the constant tendency of their operations was
to charge new expenditure to revenue rather than
to capital. Respecting the first item there was a
charge for the Nine Elms yards and goods sheds,
amounting to £5,648, caused by removing the loco-
motive department from one side of the station to
the other, and turning the old locomotive shops and
worksmen's places into goods sheds. Then came
£1,230 for hydraulic machinery and weighing ma-
chines ; new sidings, £92 ; ne w signals, £582, and so
forth. As to those new signals, he felt bound to
remark that during the last half year the company
had expended £5,600 upon what was called the
" block system." It was perhaps a very proper title,
because it did sometimes effectually block up their
line—(a laugh)—but they were, in fact, in a very
difficult and delicate position. The Board of Trade,
fortunately or unfortunately for them, had recom-
mended, or at all events spoke favourably of that
system, and the shareholders would doubtless under-
stand that if the company went before a jury in a
compensation case, and it could be shown that the
company had neglected anything the Board of Trade
had been pleased to recommend, the consequences
would be something serious. (Hear.) They had
thus been put to an expense for what they really
did not believe was necessary, because they feared,
first, the direct consequences of disobedience to their
lawful masters, the Board of Trade; and, secondly,
the indirect consequences if they got before a jury
without having attended to that board's recommen-
dations. Then for new works at Nine Elms there
was £26,126 14s. 11d.; that was entirely for ma-
chinery for the locomotive department. It might
be thought a large item, but he assured the meeting
that there was no railway company whose works
had cost so little as those of the South-Western.
Machinery must economise labour, and he was sure
that outlay must in the end prove remunerative.
For Clapham Junction there was an item of £1,036
103. 101; that was a sum paid to the contractor for
the loop line on the north side of their line at the
junction, and would enable the South-Western to
work their line at great advantage for the future.
T he last item ho would refer to was the new station
at Leatberhead, where they had striven very hard
with their neighbours, the Brighton Company, to
have but one station between them ; but in vain.
Ha supposed they feared they would Ise some por-
tion of the traffic, and therefore when they refused
there was no help for it. The station was on an
embankment and very expensive, but the board con-
sidered that was fairly a matter for capital. (Hear.)
Then with regard to the revenue account, that had
not been so satisfactory as could have been wished,
but under all circumstances he did not think that was
much to be wondered at. He knew very well that he
had not so much money as he bad fouryears ago, and
he dare say that was the case with many others—(a
laugh)—at all events the public had not so much
money to spend in travelling, but he was happy to
say the goods had shown a slight increase as against
the small falling off in passengers. As regarded
payments, it would probably be recollected that
when he was unwell last year, and Mr. Castleman
took the chair, that gentleman stated it was the
intention of the directors to investigate, and, if
possible, reduce the expenditure. Following up that
intimation, he was happy to say that, very much to
the credit of the company's officers, the reduction
then contemplated had been very nearly realised.
(Cheers.) There had been a diminution of no less
than £4,445 and £4,989 in the locomotive and car-
riage departments. In the traffic department there
had been a reduction of £2,906, altogether making
a total of about £12,340, added to which the saving
as represented by the superintendent of the steam-
ship department would be found to work out so
nearly to the anticipated saving that the difference
was not important. It was about £16,000 for the
half-year, and he hoped the reduction for the whole
year might be £30,000. Without, therefore, as-
suming to themselves the faculty of prophets, the
board might congratulate the shareholders that the
result they proposed to themselves bad, thanks in
some measure to their officers, been most satisfac-
torily realised. (Hear, hear.) He felt bound to say
that in all departments their administrative staff
had most cheerfully put their shoulders to the wheel,
and to their co-operation the satisfactory result to
which he had alluded was in a great measure to be
attributed. He was bound to say, however, that
the saving effected had been almost neutralised by
some extraordinary expenses, such for instance as
those for the Kensington Station. The Weymouth
and Dorchester tolls had almost been swallowed
up in a similar manner. He congratulated the
proprietors on the very small items for com-
pensation, amounting in all to £2,535, only
. £5OO of which was for accidents on the line.
Shareholders would know by experience how very
severe the public were upon a railway company
when one of them lost his portmanteau.
A SIIAREHOLDER—Yes, and when he had- not
lost his portmanteau. (A laugh.) -
The Claw—Just but the result wets ce

tainly most creditable :to their officers. (Hear,
hear.) He then alluded to a letter which appeared'
in the public papers of the 14th instant, and which
by its mild and temperate tone might favourably
contrast with many attacks upon public boards, and
therefore was entitled toconsideration. (The letter
chiefly referred to an apparent increase in the
working and maintenance account for the company's
Channel Islands and French coast steamer, out-
standing accounts, and maintenance of the per-
manent way; but the chairman explained to the
satisfaction of the meeting that the complaint arose
simply from the manner in which the accounts were
Istated.) The chairman concluded by congratulat-
-1 ing the proprietors that they did not owe one shil-
' ling of temporary loans—(hear, hear)—and, after
having shortly summarised and explained the vari-
ous paragraphs of the report, moved its adoption
and reception by the proprietors.
Count EYRE, one of the directors, seconded the
motion, which was carried unanimously.
Dr. BRENT, as representative of the committee of
the shareholders of the Western Railway Compa-
nies, then proposed the following resolution
"That any schemes promoted for extensions or in-
crease of capital should, under ordinary circum-
stances, be communicated to the shareholders in the
half-yearly reports of this company published in
August, and that if extraordinary circumstances
arose afterwards, requiring extensions, a special
meeting of the shareholders should be held for the
consideration of the proposed-bills before any ex-
penses are incurred." Dr. Brent then at some
length explained the causes which had led
to the formation of the committee he represented,
and expressed himself much pleased with the candid
and open manner in which they had been met by
the boards of the different western companies. This
being the first company which had held its half-
yearly meeting since the committee last met, he
begged to assure those present that their objects were
not obstructive, but rather to assist the boards of
the companies in which they were interested. (Hear.)
Mr. ELLIS seconded the motion, which, after some
discussion, was carried unanimously.
After some conversational discussion, in which
Mr. Bowden, Col. Higgins, Mr. Ellis, Lord Bury,
Mr. Benyon, and other proprietors took part.
Mr. BURKE, Q.C., addressed the meeting at some
length in favour of associating themselves with the
Waterloo and Whitehall Company, whereby the
South-Western might remedy one great defect of
their old scheme, viz., that they could not land their
passengers on the north side of the Thames.
Several shareholders having expressed their disap-
probation of any further outlay for extensions of
any kind at present, the subject dropped.
A resolution was then carried for the payment of a
dividend at the rate of 34 per cent. per annum for
the past six months, payable on 2d Sept. next.
Mr. BERKELEY, of Cliertsey, complained of the
hardship upon the suburban residents of abolishing
the privilege of using return tickets the following
day, which was a much more important matter than
might at first sight appear.
The CHAIRMAN said that was hardly a matter for
the half-yearly meeting ; but if the hon. proprietor
would lay it before the board in the usual way, he
I would guarantee that his representations should
have the fullest attention.
The proceedings terminated with a cordial vote of
thanks to the chairman and directors.

MIDLAND.
The report of the directors of the Midland tiding
way Company, issued previous to the meeting o,
the proprietors, to be held at Derby on Tuesday
next, is as follows:—
"The directors have again the satisfaction of re-
porting to you an increase in all descriptions of
traffic upon the railway for the past half year; the
receipts, compared with those of the corresponding
period of 1866, show the following.result, viz:—
An increase from coaching of £25,816 ; from cattle
of £7,349; from merchandise of £2,8.40; from
minerals of £24,677 ; total increase, £60,682. The
gross amount of the traffic for the half year is
£1,365,853, to which has been added the sum of
£74,787, taken from the balance due to revenue
from the amounts received from the Great
Western Railway Company under Mr. Phip-
son's award, and from the English and Scotch
traffic obtained under the decision of the
Court of Chancery, which amounts have not been
included in the weekly traffic returns. The
working expenses of the half year have again ex-
ceeded those of the corresponding period of 1866.
The excess has arisen party from the payment out
of revenue for the reconstruction of the Apperley
viaduct ; for the repairs to other works damaged by
the floods which occurred during the autumn of
last year, from the increased expense incurred in
working the traffic over the lines of other com-
panies, during the interruption occasioned by the
fall of the viaduct referred to, and by the great
landslip at Bugsworth which occasioned the closing
of the new line to Manchester after it had been
opened for goods traffic. And to the above causes
may be added the continued advance iu the cost of
labour and materials. The balance available for
dividend is £500,033 15s. 11d., of which the sum
of £6,550 16s. 3d. is the balanca brought forward
from the account cf the previous half year ; and the
directors are enabled to recommend the declaration
of the following dividends (less income-tax), pay-
able on the 2nd day of Sept. next : —£2 15s. upon
each Consolidated Stock ; £2 ls. 3d. upon each £lOO
Consolidated Birmingham and Derby Stock ; £3
on each £lOO Consolidated Preferential Stock; £3 on
leach £lOO Consolidated ErewashiValley Stock ; £2
ss. upon each £lOO Consolidated 41 per Cent. Pre-
ferential Stock ; £2 upon each £lOO Leicester and
Ilitchin Preferential Stock ; £2 ss. upon each £lOO
Consolidated Irredeemable 4i per Cent. Preferen-
tial Stock ; £2 10s. upon each £lOO B 5 per Ceut.
Preference Stock ; £2 103. upon each £lOO B 5 per
Cent. Preference Stock ; 4s. 11id. upon each £9
share, at £5 10s. per cent. per annum ; 6s. per
share upon each £lB 5 per Cent. Preference
share, being half year on £l2 per share, at 5 per
cent. per annum ; 4s. 11d. per share upon each
£lB Inconvertible 5 per Cent. Preference share,
being half year on £8 per share, and 166
days on £2 per share, at 5 per cent. per annum ;
ls. 3id. per share upon each £22 5 per Cent. Pre-
ference shares, being 104 days on £4 10s. per share,
at 5 per cent. per annum—leaving a balance of
£4,702 9s. 11d. to be carried to the account of the
current half year. The dividend recommended is less
than that declared for the corresponding half of
1866 ; this diminution has been occasioned chiefly
by the continued large outlay on new lines and works
not yet productive, the amount under this head
during the half year having reached about £5,000,000.
The Rowsley and Buxton Extension to New Mills
was reopened in February last, the traffic is progres-
ing satisfactorily, and on the completion of the com-
pany's merchandise and mineral station in Manches-
ter a large increase of traffic will no doubt accrue.
The Furness and Midland Railway was opened in
June last. The line has been constructed at the joint
expense of the Furness and Midland Companies,
and connects the new port of Barrow, the extensive
ironworks at that place and at Carvforth, as well as
the lake and haematite districts of Westmoreland and
Cumberland, advantageously with the Midland sys-
tem ; and already a considerable traffic has been
exchanged. Mr. Kirtley reports—' That the rolling
stock is in good working order, and that during
the half-year ending June 30, 1867, the mileage per-
formed by trains has been as follows :—With pas-
senger trains, 2,630,965 miles ; with goods and mi-
neral trains, 3,562,257 miles ; total, 6,193,922 miles.
Compared with the corresponding period last year
this shows an increase of 325,799 miles. Tl

Thatbo xtehe
railways and works under his care have been kept in
good repair, and that 28i miles of single line have
been relaid during the half year, the whole cost of
which has been charged to revenue. That with
respect to the railways in course of construction,
the Duffield and Wirksworth line will soon be
ready for traffic, and the works upon the Shef-
field and Chesterfield, the Cudworth and Barns-
Icy, the Derby and Melbourne, the Thornbury
and Bath lino, and the Newark branch are pro-
ceeding favourably. That considerable progress has
Intimad9 in gtabing out the line of the Settle and

Carlisle Railway, the time for the completion of
which will be governed by the tunnel through Blea
Moor, and the viaducts and cuttings adjacent thereto.
The necessary preparations have therefore been made
for proceeding at once with these portions of the
work.' Messrs. Barlow and Liddell report that the
works of the Bedford and London line, and the
branch to join the Metropolitan Railway, have ad-
vanced rapidly during the last six months, and that
if the weather continues favourable the line may be

expected to be ready for goods and mineral traffic
in the course of September ; also that considerable
progress has been made in the London passenger
train, about two-thirds of the founlations of which
have been completed. With respect to the parlia-
mentary session, the directors regret to report that
although the bill for the amalgamation of the Mid-
land and Glasgow and Sout'i-Western Railway
Companies received the sanction of the House of
Commons after a prolonged investigation, yet the
committee of the House of Lords, to whom it was
referred, came to a resolution that it was not ex-
pedient to proceed further with the bill.' It was
strongly urged by the opponents of the bill that,
until the works of the Settle and Carlisle line were

further advanced, the proposed amalgamation would
be premature, and the argument appears to have
had weight with the committee. This additiona
investigation in Parliament has, however, con-
firmed the opinion entertained by your directors,
and those of the Glasgow and South-Western
Company, of the great value of the proposed
amalgamation to the public, as well as to the com-
panies. Much as the directors regret the loss of the
bill on this occasion, they believe it is only a ques-
tion of time as to when the companies shall be thus
closely united. The directors have negotiated an
agreement with the Metropolitan Railway Company
for the use of that company's railway between the
St. Pancras branch of the Bedford and London
Railway and Moorgate-street, London, including
the stations at King's-cross, Farringdon-street,
Aldersgate-street, and Moorgate-street. The object
of the agreement is to enable the Midland Company
to run its own trains into the heart of the city of
London, and to connect the Midland system with
other railway companies south of the Thames, and
with the meat and poultry market at Smithfield.
The terms for the use of the railway are a mileage
proportion of the passenger fares, 6d per ton for
goods, and 4d per ton for minerals up to 50,000 ;
3d per ton for every ton beyond 50,000 tons in any
one year; the receipts from the traffic to be not less
in amount than £4,000 for the first year, £5,000 for
the second, £6,000 for the th, and £7,000 for the
fourth and subsequent years.ird The rent of the
Moorgate Station to be £4,000 for the first year,
£4,500 for the second year, £5,000 for the third
year, and £6,000 for the fourth and subsequent
years. The rent for the use of all the other stations
to be £5OO per annum, subject to revision at the
expiration of three years, and to cease if the Midland
Company ceases to use those stations. The agree-
ment will come into operation as soon as the linos
are completed and opened for public traffic. Reso-
lutions will be proposed at the meeting for consoli-
dating or converting into capital stock of the com-
pany such of the £9 shares as shall have been fully
paid up since the last half yearly meeting. Also, a
resolution to authorise the following further expen-
diture on capital account, viz., for rolling stock,
£350,000."

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX AMGIS-
7RATES.

A meeting of magistrates for the county o.
Middlesex took place yesterday at the Sessions.
house, Clerkenwell-green, for the despatch of the
usual county business. Mr. Henry Pownall presided.
The following magistrates were present :—Mr.
William Kemshead, Sir A. Spearman, Dr. Jervis,
Captain Morley, Mr. Charles White, Mr. H. 11.
Harwood, Mr. Halswell, Mr. B. H. Adams, Mr.
Antrobus, Mr. T. E. Baker, Mr. Stutfield, Mr. B.
Sharp, Mr. B. J. Armstrong, and Capt. D. O'Brien,
CORONERS' FEES.
The report of the committee for accounts and
general purposes stated that they had examined the
accounts and vouchers delivered in at the present
session by the coroners for the county and by the
coroner for the city and liberty of Westminster, of
disbursements made by them respectively on the
holding of inquests, and it recommended that orders
on the county treasurer should be made for payment
of such accounts, viz. :—To Mr. John Humphreys,
coroner for the eastern district of the county, on
taking 152 inquisitions from the 24th June to the
Ist August, 1867, £282 2s. 6d. ; Mr. Edwin Lan-
kester, coroner for the central district of the county,
on taking 131. inquisitions from the 24th June to
the Ist August, 1867, £304 Os. ; Mr. James Bird,
coroner for the western district of the county, on
taking 42 inquisitions from the 25th June to the 2d
August, 1867, £74 ss. Gd. ; Mr. Charles St. Clair
Bedford, coroner for the city and liberty of West-
minster, on taking 52 inquisitions from the Ist June

some of them whose timeoeha

who were well known thieves. lie was of opinion
that when a criminal had committed certain
offences, such as garotting and other brutal assaults,
and was such a character, and there were many such,
as required several constables to look after him,
such a man should be sent to a place where there
would be no danger to the public, as there was
when such a ruffian was let loose upon society on a
ticket of leave; and in some instances, to his own
knowledge, it had taken nine policemen to recapture
a powerful ruffian of that type. He further said
the gaols were getting overcrowded, and it would
soon require two millions to find extra gaol accom-
modation in the country.
Capt. MORLEY thanked Mr. Stanford for bring-
ing the question forward. He thought that trans-
portation should be resumed, and that a memoria'
should be drawn up by the members of that court,
and a deputation from it to wait upon the Home
Secretary with such memorial.
After some remarks from members attacking the
statement made by Mr. Stanford,
The CHAIRMAN said he more than doubted the
correctness of the statement made, that reforma-
tories had done no good, as to his own knowledge
there were several criminals who had been convicted
four and five times, and at last, before it became
too late, had entered a reformatory, and were now
earning honest and rt.spectable livings. He re-
marked at some length on the great injustice it
would be to any community in any part of the world
to thrust 2,000 criminals on them annually, and the
difficulty which would arise in getting any place at
all to receive our criminal population. lie hoped
and trusted that the court would let the matter
stand where it was. With respect to criminals who
had used personal violence, he was strongly of opi-
nion that severe chastisement should follow it---
(hear, bear)—and he thought such chastisement
would sufficiently keep those offenders in check.
After some further discussion an amendment was
proposed, " That Mr. J. F. Stanford having drawn
the attention of the court to the great importance
of resuming the transportation of criminals, a com-
mittee be appointed to consider the whole subject,
and report thereon to the court on the next court
day." The amendment having been seconded, was
carried by a majority of 7 to 4, and the following
gentlemen chosen to act on the committee ; Uogrg,

Stanford, Harford, Halswell, Bashford, Colonel
Wood, Mr. Charles White, Captain Morley, and
Mr. Sharpe.
The court then adjourned.

NATIONAL REFORM UNION..

A meeting of the executive committee was held
in Manchester on Tuesday evening. 'lhe agent,
Mr. J. D. Morton, read a voluminous correspon-
dence from members of Parliament, secretaries
of branch associations, vice-presidents, and others
interested in the question of Parliamentary
Reform. The agent reported that the Knares-
borough branch had held a public meeting
to protest against the Lords' amendments, and that
a petition had been forwarded to Mr. J. Holden,
M.P., for presentation to the House of Commons.
Meetings had also been held at Warrington, Roch-
dale, Bradford, Glossop, and many other towns,
and petitions adopted, though, as it appeared, un-
fortunately with no effect, so far as concerned the
clause which provided for the partial disfranchise-
ment of Manchester and other constituencies having
three or more representatives. Reports were re-
ceived from several towns, in reply to a circular
issued by the executive, stating the unsatisfactory
way in many respects in which the bill would affect
them. In a communication from Mr. T.Wimhurst,
of Glossop, it was stated :—" As far as we are able
to estimate, this bill, should it become law, will give
about 100 new voters in the town of Glossop. The
members of our branch think the bill a good instal-
ment, and one that may satisfy many people for a
few years, but they cannot believe that the present
unjust redistribution scheme is at all a settlement,
nor can they rest content with such a state of the
law as allows 5,000 or 7,000 inhabitants to return a
member, while Glossop,with a population of 20,000,
has to rest content with a part only of a county
member. They would prefer that the House of
Commons should reject the bill altogether rather
than accept the restrictive amendments of the Lords.
Mr. Morton informed the committee that he had
duly forwarded to Mr. Thomas Bazley, M.P., the
petition adopted by the meeting held on Tues-
day week in the Free Trade Hall, and that he
had received the following reply : " Yester-
day I had the honour, in the midst of the
cheers of the house, of presenting the petition
which you confided to my care. I feel deeply
humiliated that the future voting power of the first
manufacturing and mercantile city of the world may
be reduced to the level of the most insignificant
borough."
_Several letters from Mr. Hugh Mason,
deputy president of the union, were read, in one of
which the writer, referring to the three cornered
clause, said—" I do not know when I felt so dis-
heartened as I now feel with the ' minority' clause.
Cranborne I can understand, and Lowe I can under-
stand, but these impracticable philosophers, Mill,
Fawcett, Hare, and Co., are very queer people.
Earl Russell grieves one most of anybody. How-
ever, we must not cave in. We must take fresh
courage, and go on working. The new Parliament
may be made to do great things for us." A length-
ened discussion on the minority clause, especially as
it would affect the constituency of Manchester and
the other large towns, followed, and the committee
adopted the following resolution : —" That this meet-
ing of the executive of the National Reform Union
hereby expresses its unqualified disapproval of the
minority clause introduced into the Reform Bill by
the House of Lords, and accepted by the House of
Commons, as being unjust, unprecedented, and un-
constitutional ; furthermore pledges itself to use all
constitutional means for obtaining its repeal." No-
tice was given that a special meeting of the execu-
tive would be held at an early date, to take into
consideration the Beform Bill just passed, and the
manner in which it is likely to affect the borough
and county constituencies of England and Wales.
It. was also intimated that the conference of dele-
gates from the various branches, previously resolved
upon, would be held some time about the end of
September, when the character of the present
measure of reform, and the future course of action
of the organisation, would be fully considered
and discussed.

TIIE SULTAN'S RETURN TO CONS7AN
TEVOPLE.

(From the Levant Ilerald of Av. 7.)
At nine o'clock this morning the prolonged roar
of the guns from the men of war in the harbour
and the land batteries, and the sharp roll of
musketry from the troops who lined both shores
of the Bosphorus, announced the Sultan's
return to Constantinople after his memorable six
weeks' journey to Western Europe. His Majesty
and his suite reached Semlin on Friday the 2d inst.,
and, accompanied by Midhat Pasha, governor of the
vilaet of the Danube, and some Bulgarian notabili-
ties, who had gone on to Pesth to meet him, arrived
on Sunday evening last, the 4th, at Rustschuk, and
left yesterday (Tuesday) morning, by the Rust-
schuk and Varna Railway, for Varna, which he
reached at a quarter past four in the afternoon. A
correspondent writes that great preparations had
been made there for his arrival. A new jetty had
been built near the custom-house for his Majesty to
embark from; the caimakam had ordered all the
the streets had been
ctrieaadnersswtoepraingdat the
thheweiar hollssnpesw;ly whitewashed ; the
result being that Varna presented quite a spruce
appearance. The Grand Vizier and the Seraskier
had both left for Varna and Ruschuk since Wed-
nesday last to meet their Sovereign. A'ali Pasha
having expressed a wish to go by an Austrian steamer,
the Austrian Lloyd's agency here placed one of the
finest vessels of its line, the Neptune at his high-
ness's disposal. On arriving at Varna at 4.15 p.m.
yesterday the Sultan must have gone straight on
board the Sultanieh, and started at once, for it was
quick work for the imperial flotilla to cross the Black
Sea and make the Bosphorus this morning after a
run of only 16 hours. Notice was issued from the
Grand Vizier's office last night, and this morning
the heads of the various religious communities of the
capital, the Turkish civil, military, and ecclesiastical
functionaries in vessels provided by the Government,
and members of the diplomatic corps in the despatch
boats of the embassies, went out to the entrance of
the Bosphorus to welcome the Sultan home. The
news of his approaching arrival gave a fresh stimu-
lus to the preparations making here for his recep-
tion, and the finishing touches are now being
given in all directions to arrangements of flags
and festive devices, garlands, and triumphal arches.
The shores of the Bosphorus will he ablaze with
light, and it seems likely that Bebek and Etnirghian
especially will be the chief centres of attraction.
Great ingenuity and taste have been lavished on
the yali of the Viceroy, upon a raft in front of
which a graceful little Egyptian temple has been
erected, whence fireworks will be discharged. The
illuminations of the palaces of Mustapha Kiritli
Pasha and of the Persian Minister promise to be
conspicuous for their brilliancy ; a large triumphal
arch at the landing place of the latter is crowned
with the Persian and the Turkish flags. The gar-
dens of the Grand Vizier at Bebek will sparkle with
the illuminated device of Padishali tchok yasha'
(long live the Padishah), and with a crescent sur-
rounded by a constellation of stars, standing out
in vivid relief against the dark-wooded heights in
the rear. The adjacent handsome palace of Kimil
Pasha will also be bright with a light. All along
the quay, in front of the 11:tkim Bashi's yali, now
inhabited by the Minister of war, thousands of lamps
are hung, representing various combinations of
military trophies. In all directions, in fact, the
coining fete in honour of the Sultan's return from
Europe promises to be the finest ever witnessed in
the Turkislicapital. The festivities will continue for
three days, during which the custom-house and all
the public offices will be closed, and there will be
three nights' illuminations. The whole city is gay
with flags and decorations,
and alive with anima-
tion. To-morrow evening the Grand Vizier will
give a grand official and diplomatic dinner at
Bebek, to which 300 guests are invited, and on Fri-
day evening the public fete will take place at his
highness's yali, at which there is a rumour that the
Sultan himself will be present. The release of small
debtors and of persons convicted of minor crimes ;
large sums given in charity ;
and a general amnesty
fox all political and prom offences) are spoken of."

Industrial Sc.

;Mute Girls.

Yesterday an interesting ceremony took place at
Ealing-house, Ealing, Middlesex, on the occasion of
the inauguration of the building as an industrial
school for homeless and destitute girls, which, in
connection with the Refuge Home, 19, Broad-street,
Bloomsbury, was for several years carried on at
Acton. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presided, and
was supported byJudge Payne, the Rev. W.Relton,
Mr. J. 11. Fordham, &c. A large tent had been
erected in the extensive grounds at the back of the
house, and a band was in attendance to perform on
the occasion, but the unfavourable weather rendered
it necessary that the business of the day should take
place indoors. The result was that the company
were introduced into the schoolroom, which was
scarcely large enough to accommodate them—a cir-
cumstance which caused much regret, but did not
militate against the successful result of the gathering.
It appeared from a statement read by Mr.
WILLIAMS, the Secretary to the Refuges for Homeless
and Destitute Children (with which the present
institution is associated, that in July, 1852, the com-
mittee began their benevolent work to benefit desti-
tute girls. The funds at their disposal were then
very small, and consequently only six girls could be
admitted into the home at 19, Broad- street, Blooms-
bury. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided at the in-
auguration of that building. Fears were at that
time entertained as to whether anything could be
made of the poor girls, but all objections to the work
soon vanished, for it became apparent that the
minds and hearts of these girls were as susceptible
to good impressions, and were as capable of yield-
ing to the training and discipline under which
they were placed, as the offspring of a higher class
The number of inmates gradually increased until it
reached about forty. Applications of a pressing
nature being still made for admission, the committee
were led to extend this branch of their work still
further, and consequently they hired a large house
at Acton as a branch home. This house was also
inaugurated by Lord Shaftesbury on the 3d July,
1860. The inmates here, as in the Broad-street
Home, gradually increased until, in June, 1866, the
number reached over 40, when possession of the
house was given up, as the committee and the
trustees of the property were unable to arrange for
converting the stables into a suitable washhouse and
laundry. Every effort was made to obtain suitable
premises, but without success, and a house was
therefore taken temporarily at Kilburn, and the girls
were removed there. In March last the present
premises wore pointed out to the committee as likely
to suit for a home, and ultimately arrangements
were made for purchasing them. The premises are
copyhold, but nearly equal to freehold, as the quit
rents only amount to a few shillings a year. They
were in a very dirty and dilapidated condition, and
a considerable sum has been expended in repairing
and cleansing them. The total cost for the pur-
chase of the property and the repairs and altera-
tions was over £2,600, towards meeting which ex-
penditure and for annual subscriptions for the sup-
port of the girls an earnest appeal was now
made. There were now 44 inmates in this house
and 48 girls in the home, 19, Broad-street. The
committee intended to increase the number to 50 in
each home, so that they might hare 100 girls under
their care. The girls in each home are fed, clothed,
lodged, educated, and trained for domestic service.
They are taught all kinds of domestic work, so as
to fit them as far as possible to become useful and
efficient servants. Since the establishment of the
homes down to the close of last year 710 girls had
been admitted, and 586 had been sent to service at
home or abroad, or otherwise provided for.
The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, said
he was quite satisfied that this undertaking was one
of paramount importance in the present conditionof
the country. He had long been of this opinion, and
he had hoped that greater efforts would have been
made ere now for the welfare of such poor girls as
were intended to be benefited by this association
They had established many reformatories and other
institutions for the benefit of boys; but it was only
lately that the idea seemed to have been enter-
tained that the girls were entitled to an equal share
of public consideration. All history showed—and
experience supported the lessons they learnt from
history—that the moral condition of the male
population depended, to a great extent, upon the
character of the women. (Hear, hear.) It was not
so much the employers of labour as the fathers and
mothers of the children who were responsible for the
degradation which beset a large portion of the juve-
nile community. The present movement was one in
which everybody (from the Queen on the throne to
the costermonger) had a personal interest. (Hear.)
The object of this home was to provide good
domestic servants, and he sincerely trusted that
it might achieve the same success which had
attended the operations of the Chichester training
ship. The scheme was undoubtedly a very large
one, and it was eminently deserving of public sup-
port, seeing that it was calculated to give to this
country a new generation of wives and mothers.
(Cheers.)
The Rev. W. Belton, Mr. J. H. Fordham, Judge
Payne, and others, severally addressed the meeting
to a similar effect, and the proceedings terminated
with a collection of subscriptions at the entrance
door.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

It is usual at this season to detach " flying
columns" from the Aldershott division to march
certain routes and encamp at various halting places.
Accordingly a column, consisting of the 54th,
56th, and 70th Regiments, a field battery, and a
regiment of cavalry, will leave the camp on Tues-
day next for Sandhurst.
The Ist battalion 18th (the Royal Irish) Regi-
ment, under the command of Colonel Call, now

stationed at Aldershott, is held in readiness to
move from the camp at an early date. The head-
quarters and four companies will proceed to Ches-
ter, two companies to Liverpool, two companies
to Bradford, and two companies to Weedon.
The 65th Regiment, under the command of Col.
Wyatt, C. 8., now stationed at Aldershott, is under
orders to leave the camp for Ireland, and is ex-
pected to proceed to its destination about the 12th
proximo.
The dismounted detachment of A battery, C
Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, at Aldershott, is
under orders to leave the Farnborough station of
the South-Western Railway this morning, and pro-
ceed to Dorchester. The move of B battery, C
Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, is deferred until
early next month, on account of a detachment be-
ing ordered to Shoeburyness for practice.
A general court-martial, under the presidency of
Colonel C. Cameron Shute, 4th Dragoon Guards,
assembled on Wednesday in the court-martial room
at Aldershott, No. 17 hut, " Q" lines, South Camp,
for the trial of prisoners. The principal business
was to investigate the serious case of insubordina-
tion in the Ist (King's) Dragoon Guards, which
was noticed in The Sun a few weeks ago. The
finding and sentence will not be known for some
time.
A Court of Inquiry, consisting of a field-officer
of the Ist brigade, an engineer officer, and an officer
of the barrack department, assembled at the hut on
the iron bridge in the South Camp at Aldershott,
on Wednesday, to investigate and report upon the
circumstances under which a fire broke out in the
hut on the 9th inst., and also the quantity of bar-
rack furniture injured. The proceedings of the
Court were to be forwarded to the office of the
Assist. Quartermaster-Gen.
Admiral Sir Thomas Sabine Pasley, Port Admiral
and Naval Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth,
yesterday inspected officially the Mersey, screw
frigate, 35 guns, 1,000 horse power, Capt. J. Cor-
bett, preparatory to her departure for Queenstown,
on flagship duties at that port.
The Gladiator, 5, paddle, Captain D'Aplin, ar-
rived at Portsmouth yesterday morning with seamen
and marines on board from the Princess Royal, paid
out of commission the previous day at Devonport.
In the brief notice given in The Sun of yesterday
of the trial by court-martial, on board her Majesty's
ship Victory, at Portsmouth, of Lieut. Moultry,
who was serving as senior lieutenant on board her
Majesty's late ship Osprey, at the time of her recent
lON near Algoa Bay, wQ stated that " the Court

found the statements made against Lieut. Moultry
were fully substantiated." It should have read—
" Were not fully substantiated."

TlMES.—After a perseverance worthy of a better
and a happier cause Mr. Hardy has succumbed,
and the Parks' Regulation Bill has disappeared for
the session. We congratulate the public on thiscon-
cession, and thank Mr. Hardy for perceiving,
though very tardily, that his measure was too inop-
portune to be carried through Parliament. It is,
however, to be regretted he should proclaim that he
yields solely to compulsion, and that he withdraws
the bill only because a strong-lunged minority
threatens to talk for a month rather than let it pass.
Persistence carried to the point of obstinacy, and
then followed by a sudden collapse of purpose, does
not add to the reputation of a Minister or a party.
Mr. hardy, who has been, perhaps, secretly incited
by a desire to avoid the weakness of his predecessor,
appears in the end before the public in not a very
different guise ; for both Ministers, after challeng-
ing a pertinacious opposition, have yielded to it at
the last moment, and the victory of Mr. Beales out-
side the House is not very unlike that of the Radical
obstructors within it. When Mr. hardy proposed
yesterday that the character of the bill should be
altered, that the first clause—the prohibition of
public meetings in the Parks—should be withdrawn,
and that it should become a mere Regulation Bill,
the penalty being made £5 instead •of 405., it was
not difficult to see the end of the measure. It was
a fatal error in generalship to make such a display
of irresolution at the last moment, and to convince
the minority that one more afternoon of talk would
gain their ends. The objection of moderate men was
not to legislation absolutely, but to present legisla-
tion. They believed that the Government bill,
brought in on the eve of the Demonstration of May
last, coupled iu everybody's mind with the undig-
nified though necessary withdrawal of the Ministry
from a conflict with the crowd, and with the down-
fall of Mr. Walpole, was a measure that ought to be
abandoned and, if possible, forgotten. That mea-
sure had been modified on a previous occasion,
and the debate of Tuesday turned on a proposal
essentially different from that which the former
Home Secretary had laid before Parliament. Amid
all the verbiage of that debate it was plainly to be
seen that the sense of the Apposition was not
against a proper regulation of the Parks, but
against a bill which had already changed its original
character, and which could only pass in a very muti-
lated form ; while to pass it at all might provoke
acts of violence. Mr. Hardy might have seen that
the new alterations he proposed yesterday would
remove none of the objections to the scheme. It
may be advisable, as a matter of local police, to
place the Royal parks under the same regulations as
those which have been made by the Metropolitan
Board of Works ; but to do this now would be no
less a demonstration Ly Parliament against the
League, and a challenge to that pertinacious body,
than if its leaders had been mentioned by name.
Such has been plainly the sense of the public, and,
in spite of the official majority which the Govern-
ment gained yesterday, we have no doubt it is the
sense of the house. Everybody, not excepting her
Majesty's Ministers, will be glad that the matter is
at an end, and the only reason for regret is that the
whole of one afternoon and a large part of another
have been wasted at a period of the session when
every hour is valuable. It may be that one or two
bills of importance will have to be thrown over
because the Government has desired to display its
consistency and make a parade of its firmness.
There is little cause to fear for the preservation
of Hyde Park during the recess, and the comfort
of those who frequent it. In the dull months of
autumn and winter Hyde Park is little visited,
even though the three millions of Londoners do
not follow the " upper ten thousand" and their
nurserymaids into the country. If, after a short
interval of repose, Messrs. Beales and Dickson think
it necessary to " demonstrate " anew amid the mists
of November or the chill of January, they may
have the park pretty nearly to themselves, The
Government must be content to keep the peace by
means of the existing law, and we doubt not it is
sufficiently strong for practical purposes. Of course
it is rather unfair that only the small flies should be
caught in its meshes, while such bluebottles as the
chiefs of the League break through. But such le
the order of destiny, and should there be any real
annoyance to the public through the defective
powers of the Executive, the next Session of Par;
liament will find the country more tranquil, and
the House of Commons in a better condition to
examine the subject.
