began to regard tine danger of an attack in Croatia
as serious and imminent.

Yesterday morning and again to-day at Berlin
the King inspected some of the detachments of
Landwehr which have lately marched into the city
from the northern provinces. Thismorning a Land-
wehr regiment of Ulans were paraded before the
palace, and after being inspected rode through the
town. The men gave evident symptoms of having
been enrolled but a short time, but wore a stout and
healthy appearance. Their arms were not so bright
nor were their clothes as well made as would be
seen in any regiment of British cavalry, but they
gave the idea of being of the right material to make
in a short time very steady and serviceable troops.
The horses seem light, small, and overweighted, but
they get over the ground at a good pace, and do not
appear to suffer, even in the present hot weather,
from the heavy weights put upon their backs. Though
their riders, as if top-heavy with their long heavy
lances and thick uncomfortable-looking helmets,roll
about a good deal in their saddles, while the files are
pressed so close together that how the centre lines
can breathe at all is a marvel, the wiry little animals,
which to the eye do not look much stronger than
many thoroughbred racing breeds, step out briskly
and lightly, and are supposed never to tire. How
many sore backs or rubbed withers there may be
after a long march, can only be known to those who
have penetrated into their stables on such an occa-
sion. There was no evidence of anything of the sort
as far as could be seen in the ranks.

On Saturday the Prussian troops quitted the Fede-
ral fortress of Rastadt, and the Austrians were in
expectation of an order to march. The troops of
the Germanic Confederation, exclusive of those of
the two great Powers, are to hold it till the war is
over ; but when war once breaks out between the
two eastern German nations it is doubtful whether
the rights of the Bund will be universally recognised,
and the Federal fortresses even may be occupied by
one or the other, according as the garrison are
friendly or hostile to either aide.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.

The adjourned Wharncliffe com-
panytmheeetEinugstoofnthsitsation ;
was held yesterday at
Mr. R. Moon in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that there were only two of
the remaining bills on the list then ready to submit.
The London and North-Western Company were to
contribute to the first £32,000. He then moved a
resolution approving a bill to empower the Lanca-
shire Union Railway Company to construct new
railways in the townships of Parr, Haydock, and
Ashton in Makerfield, Lancashire.
Mr. BROWN-WESTHEAD seconded the resolution.
Mr. WILLIAMS protested against pledging the
company to any increase of capital until the whole
of .the proprietors had been consulted on the sub-
ject.

Mr. TOMLINSON said he could not agree with his
learned friend. He thought it a wise and judicious
course to augment the traffic of the line, particu-
larly when it was to be done under a guarantee
from coalowners of something like 10 per cent.
The CHAIRMAN explained that it was a guarantee
of 10 per cent., including working expenses, and
would give a net 5 per cent. on all the outlay.
The motion was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then submitted a bill to enable
the Merthyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny Railway
Company to raise more money, and it was approved.
The meeting then adjourned.
