FRENCH RAILWAYS:—The excitement produced by
the adjudication of the French railways, and during the
period when the intelligence of the fact was expected, is
compared by the stock-brokers to the excitement pro-
duced years ago on the appearance of the foreign loans.
Now the tender of Messrs. Mackenzie, Patterson, and
Co., for the Orleans and Boadeaux Railroad is accepted,
the premiums paid by speculators on the success of the
other competitors will of course be entirely lost. With
respect to return of the deposit no difficulty, it is ex-
pected, can arise. M. Drouillard and Count d'An-
thouard had both guaranteed the return of the deposits,
in case they did not succeed in obtaining the contract ;
and on Messrs. Rothschild's contract no deposits have
been paid. The greatest loss in the shape of premium
will be incurred by the speculators in Messrs. Roth-
schild's tender, since to the last moment the most san-
guine hopes were entertained of their success, and pur-
chases were made as high as 2 premium. On the other
two proposed contracts the premiums were but small.—
Times.

SCOTTISH MIDLAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.—At their
meeting on Monday last the Town Council of Perth
agreed, by a majority of three to one, to invest 1,000/. of
the city funds in shares of the projected Scottish Mid-
land Junction Railway. This line will run from Perth
to Forfar.—Railway Record.
BOLTON, WIGAN, AND LIVERPOOL RAILWAY.—A
railway with this name has, within the last few days,
been brought before the public. Its main feature is to
open up the rich mineral district through which it passes.
The len_gth is about 27 miles, and the estimated cost
800,0001., which it is proposed to raise in 50/. shares,
with a deposit of 4/. At the head of the Provisional
Committee is the Earl of Balcarras. Mr. Crosthwaite,
of Liverpool, is also a member. Sir John Macneill and
Mr. James Thomson are the engineers.—Railway Record.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT SEA.—During the tre-
mendous gale of Wednesday, the schooner Undine,
bound to Belfast, whilst coming into Falmouth harbour,
unshipped her boom, which, in its fall, struck one of the
crew on the head, and killed him on the spot. The
poor fellow's brains were knocked to atoms. The cheeks
of the boom went out through the bulwarks on one side,
and the peak the other. An inquest was to be held the
following day on the body. The captain sustained a
severe injury in one of his arms, but no bone was
broken.— West Briton.

The article in the Quarterly Review in favour of
the Czar and his policy, is said to be from the pen of
the Russian Minister, Baron Brunnow. Church and
