THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, MIS,

ADELPHI THEATRE.
An adaptation of the French drama, entitled Le Canal
Saint-Martin, was produced here last evening, and popu-
lar as the drama is in Paris, we augur that its popularity
in London will be greater still. It is one of those pieces
-which are techn-c•aly called " dimes of interest," and
In the present instance the term is certainly not a mis-
nomer, for the plot is of that nature that from the besin-
Wog of the piece to the end, the attention of the spe ta-
tor is rivetted to tl.e stage. The hero of the piece is a
certain Motisieur Martial (Mr. Webster), a gentleman
at large, alias an accomplished scoundrel—accomplished
in every sense of the word, with the manners of a gen-
tleman, the dress of an exquisite, and the morals and
imperturbable sang f old of a Mephistophiles. Ile is the
ate of a gang of thieves, and among others whom they
. determine to plunder is a certain Monsieur Laroche
(0. Smith), a rich timber merchant, a man of wealth
and character, emplol ing a great number of workmen,
the foreman of whom, Robert (Mr. Lambe* t), is a rough
honest fellow, the beau ideal of an " ouvrier." Laroche
has an only daughter, Clarisse (Madame Celeste), who
is devotedly attached to Armand (Mr. Worrell), his
clerk. Laroche is absent from Paris, and Martial
contrives! to insinuate himself into the confidence of Ar-
mand and of Clarisse. lie manages to keep Armand out
all night, and takes advantage of his absence to rob the
st house Laroche re'urrs—his daughter dreads his
ess, and endeavours to devise means to replace the
money and to prevent his knowing of the robbery which
has taken place. Among the
stolen property is a port-
folio, containing spers,froin ss hich Martial learns that
Laroche is no other that; Pierre Bernard, a noted pirate
and murderer. It app,,ars tlat he bad met Bernard for-
merly, and at one introcluces himself to him, and ad-
struck dresses him as Pierre Barnard. The old man, horror-
, grants him an interview at ten o'clock at night
on board his boat, and thus ends the first act. The
second act opens in the cabin of the boat. It is nine
o'clock, and Laroche dismisses his workmen, all but
Robert He has discovered the robbery. Clarisse and
nce Armand enter—he drives Armand from his pre-
leaves
se,
him and he b3hav?s harshly to Clarisse,
who
roach* heart-br, ken at his cruelty. Robert re-
s him, and the n we hoar Clarisse is in fact Ro-
ert's daughter—that Robert, condemned to the galleys
at Malines, bad met -with Laroche, who had adopted
Clarisce, then an infant, as his child, on condition that
Robert should never betray his tearet ; and that. after
Robert had served his time out at the gall ys, Laroche
Is id taken him into his service. He sends Robert from
him, promising to behave more kindly to the child, and
as the clock strikes ten, Martial enters, armed. La-
roche accuses him of robbing his house, and tells him
that he could only have acquired his knowledge from the
contents of the papers. Martial, with the
most perfect
coolness, says_" Then I will tell yeti something that is
not in the papers," and ps to relate that he ad
seen, 20 years before, iff there ialst of Newfoundland, h
the
ship of Bernard wre cited, and had seen him (Ber-
nard) murder Laroche and his infant daughter,
and then escape on shore. Martial had been a
cabin boy on board tie ship, and the only
person, except B rmard himself, Mho had escaped
from the wreck. His reason for adopting Clarisse is
thus evident—he had passed himself as the rial Laroche
on his return to Prance,- and taken possession of his
property. He comes to terms with Martial, promises
him large sius, and taking hits off his guard while
drinking a glass of wine, touch, s a spring, and through
a concealed trap tumbles Martial into the river. At
this instant Clarisse enters, sees the murder, and is
horror-struck. The next scene is at Belvilie, the
gardens of which are beautifully illuminated in honour
of the fee.; which Laroche gives his workmen there.
Clarisse is brought there to join in the festivities—but
she is miserable ; Laroche explains to her that the
man she hae?seen killed was an enemy of the family, who
had spoken slightingly of her mother—that it was &ne-
cessary crime. Armand then enters to entreat his for-
giveness, which is freely given, and Laroche promises to
marry him to . larisse, and desires him to go and pre-
pare for the wedding. Armand has scarcely quitted
them when, to - the horrir of Laroche, Martial enters. Ile had been fished up by Barbillon (Wright), a pro-
fessional diver, who often throws children into the
water to get the rewar for pulling them out again,
and restored by the Hurn.ane i-uciety. He demands
12,000 francs and the hand of Clarisse a.s the price of
his silence. This interview is interrupted by the arrival
of a gendarnaiere, bringing Robert ft prisoner. Robert
had beets seen to leave the boat, a few minutes before
Martial had been picked up under it, and auspicior rested
on hire- Martial, with the utmost sang f. oid, takes
advantage of circumstances, denounces Robert as having
attempted to murder him, and Clarisse, out of affection
to her supposed father, dares pat reveal the truth.t t The
second act concludes with this very effective situation.
In the third act Clarisse is informed of h
she er horrible
destiny—to wed Martial ;to save her father,
con-
sents to the loathsome marriage. Meanwhile, Mar-
tial's companions are about to share
ng the plun-
der, as they suspect him ofi inte

Robert can no longer contain himself. He rushes tr

her happiness to be sacrificed to a villain. Relieved
from the tie which lanad her to L•trovh,', she et once
declares Robert's innocence; aril Laroche does jus-
tice on himself by shooting himself through
the head- The gang are arrested on the de-
nunciation of Martial, and as the worthy is
about' to calk off he is also taken into custody, for

MANCHESTER, SHARE MARKET.

The following circular has been issued by Messrs. Railton
of Manchester :

This market continues to attract improving confidence
since allocated shares not in scrip ceased to be acknowledged.
It has thrown dealing more into the hands of capitalists,
where it ought to remain.
In stirring times like the present, when so much enterprise
is on foot to promote premiums by the unbounded increase
of provisional railway directorships, got up by every strained
effort—it may be useful to again put before our friends as a
counterpoise what so long stood a part of our circular, at and
after the latter part of the year 1840, as follows :
" Inexperienced persons purchasing railway stock as a
security for income, should give preference to well-tried
finished works, paying sitisfactory dividends, and the least
exposed to rivalry from contending lines or canals. They
will answer the best for investment and bring the greatest
value when re-sold. Works in progress are of very uncertain
issue for profit till laid open to the public, and are therefore
the best in the hands of the original projectors, or persons
understanding their merits, till proved by the traffic they can
secure. Experience shows that they generally fall to a
heavy discount, however specious in promise, before income
is obtained; and when completed, their worth is regulated in
public opinion by a comparison with other securities, ac-
cording to the dividends they pay, and the confidence they
corn Bland."

And with this in view, they will be hard learners indeed if
they suffer themselves to go materially astray at the pre-
sent time. _ _

The roving habits of railway directors'of old boards, now
so rife for the promotion of new schemes, in which they are
the most individually concerned, may confuse and damage
both the old and the new, if shareholders do not keep a
watchful eye on the proceedings of these gentlemen, so as at
any rate to keep all interests moving honourably, equitably,
and simultaneously together, and thus prevent those
bickerings and mistrusts which are always so fatal to the
prosperity of their concerns.
It is much to be feared that established lines are more than
ordinarily suffering by the wild and endless projects hunted
after by individuals that ought to be employed at home
fulfilling the duties they are pledged to for the interests of
the shareholders at the public works with which they are
already connected. When their masters are away, railway
subordinates are also tempted to pay less attention to their
duties, and particularly in lines where there is no general
manager to direct or be referred to when occasions occur,
and which must be frequent in railway affairs.
One railway well managed is quite enough for the conve-
nient care of a board of directors, to protect the public
against personal disaster on the one hand, and the income to
shareholders on the other. Or if they do multiply other
interests under their patronage at all, it should only be in
such degree as their original undertaking can be served ; but
how to bring back or allay this insatiable thirst for director-
ships of the most disjointed nature, and to place them on a
sound working footing, will be a matter for the earliest at-
tention of Parliament ; and to avoid mistake in the mean.
while, if railway gentlemen in this locality will inform us
how many concerns they are engaged in as directors, they
shall have all the honours arising from their extended pa-
tronage set before the public, with every merit they so emi-
nently deserve. A nicely condensed tabular form would be
convenient for reference, and would most clearly avoid any
future errors in describing them—thus, for instance, from
amongst many who eminently figure as aspirants for railway
fame, we may quote a gentleman lauded in the Hampshire
Independent as the Railway Viceroy, and who certainly seems
as worthy of extensive fame as any literary or scientific
D.D., M.D., or F.R.S. And if abbreviated titles of honour
mean anything, this gentleman is entitled to the following
appendages to his name, as signifying the relation in which
he stands to diverse railway interests :

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
NEWCASTLE AND BERWICK.

YORK, SATURDAY, AUG. 30.—This day, at noon, the
first general meeting of the proprietors of the above rail-
way Was. held in the Directors'-room, at the York
station, G. Hudson, Esq., M.P., in the chair. Several
shareholders were present from a distance, and the meet-
ing was very numerously attended.
The CHAIRMAN .stated that the meeting had been
called pursuant to the Act of Parliament, and certain
resolutions would be submitted for their approval. The
Directors were not prepared with any report, and in-
deed they had scarcely anything to report. They had
not yet been able to obtain the accounts of the expense
of obtaining the Act. He had seen in the public papers
the cost stated at 50,000/. ; but he was happy to say it
would not be 20,000L—(Hear, hear.) Probably from
12,000/. to 13,0001. would be the outside.—(Renewed
shouts of " Hear, hear.") It was a matter of gratifica-
tion that they had obtained the Act without any com-
promise; they parted with no shares except those re-
served for the landowners ; they fought the
battle on principle, and they had won it.
Ile admitted they had done so under great
hazard ; it was a bold step to take, and he
did not think he should again incur such a serious
responsibility ; but having been successful it was a sub-
ject of coneratulation. He might state that the Direc-
tors had already let twelve and a half or thirteen miles
of the line beginning at North Shields. Probably the
line would not be opened so soon as he bad previously
mentioned—he thought it might be August before this
was done, independent of the two bridges, which would
take a longer time. He concluded by moving the first
resolution—" That the Directors appointed by the Act
of Incorporation do continue in office, viz , Mr. Hudson,
Mr. It. Davies, Mr. James Richardson, Mr. Nicholas
Wood, Mr. Oxley, Mr. Plews, and Mr. Tee. "
The resolution was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN, having moved other resolutions for
the appointment of officers, which were carried unani-
mously, next brought forward the proposition for con-
curring with the other railway companies who had agreed
to contribute towards the erection of a statue to Mr.
George Stephenson, on the proposed bridge over the
Tyne, and to the presentation of a piece of plate to
that gentleman. The resolution for subscribing 2,0001.
for that object was carried unanimously.
The Lord Mayor of YORK then proposed, " That the
Board of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway Company
be instruct= d to confer and arrange with the Boards over
which Mr. Hudson presides, as to the best mode of offer-
ing a suitable testimonial to that gentleman, as an ac-
knowledgment for his able and efficient services." The
resolution was carried with acclamation.

The CHAIRMAN, after returning thanks for this mark
of their esteem, proceeded to make the following obser
vations respecting the competing line which had been
defeated, and on the reckless avidity for railway specu
halm's. He said that during the few weeks that the con-
test in the Parliamentary Committee was going on he
had never experienced greater mental anxiety. He was
the first witness examined against the proposed atinos-
p!,eric line, and lie never entered the box with such a
feeling of heavy responsibility in his life, for he knew the
importance of the first witness making an impression on
the Committee. Ile trusted, indeed he knew, that he
was successful in doing so, and nothing could exceed
the gratification which he felt when he heard the Chair-
man of the Committee declare that the preamble of the
Newcastle and Berwick Railway Bill had been proved.
—(Applause.) To the latest period of his life he should
remember the pleasure he experienced when right
triumphed over wrong.—(llear, hear.) Lord liowick
had no doubt a right to bring forward a competing line,
and perhaps he was justified in doing all he could to sup-
port the atmospheric principle ; but when his Lordship

found thi't, according to their own traffic tables, his line
could not convey the traffic on the line, he (Mr. Hu&
son) did consider that the further steps which were taken
in behalf of the Northumberland line were unjustifiable.
But he was diverging into matters of detail. All this
was a tale that is told: it was fur them to eejoice in their
success, and to look forward to making their line worthy
of the support which Parliament had given them.—
(Hear, hear.) He had the strongest feeling of respect
for the gentlemen with whom he was associated, and
anything which he could do, by night or -by day,
should be done. He only hoped that parties would not
rashly embark their property in every scheme which was
projected, and that they- would recollect that, after all.
there was only a certain ameunt of traffic in the country
for all the companies to carry. It was quite wonderfill
to parties behind the scenes to see with what facilities
railway companies could be formed ; the names of influ-
ential parties were lent, without those persons thinking
of the responsibility which they thereby incurred ; but
a day of reckoning would come, told many of the ines
now projecti,d will be ruinous concerns.—(Hear, hear.)
He did not think that.any new company could injure
the undertakings from Rugby to Barwick, with which
most of them were connected ; the proprietors of these
were united together in iuterest and feelings, and, by
continuing to promote the public benefit, they would
best secure their own individual athantne. Had they
been speculators, anxious only to accumulate money
and gain a short-lived popularity, they might have
done so by lending their names to new schemes ; but
the Directors with whom he was connected and himself
had studiously abstained from this course, and endea-
voured to keep a sound and healthy feeling in the
country relative to these undertaking,. A 1 their rail-
ways were based on national utility. Their first objec.
was to connect England and Scotland, and then to make
such branches as were required by the country. What-
ever others might do, he would never retaliate by the
formation of competing branch lines ; he was frequently
urged by letter to do so, but he always threw these
letters aside, for he thought any Director who allowed
passion to mislead him in such a matter, was unworthy
of the position which he held.—(Hear, hear.)
The meeting then separated, the whole business not
having occupied three-quarters of an hour.

7th. With a train. of eight carriaAes and abotit two
hundred persons, we stopped K ith the brakes on the in-

we led any, one to expect, and I trust it will not be long
before I have an opportunity of showing them to the
South Devon Directors.

The b,st evidence of the value of Mr. Satnuda's report
was to be found in the fact that since its put-dire:ion, the
value of a share in the South Devon line had all eady
risen 5/, and he confidently believed that as future expe-
riments became known, the value of shares in rail wa%
constructed upon this principle would be greatly in-
creased. He would now call upon the secretary to read
the report, anti he did not doubt that the unanimity
which had hitherto marked thtir proceedings would also
upon that occasion be found to prevail.
Mr. CARR then proceed-•d to read the

not consequently be added to the Central line.

upon tEe mltion of Mr. T. W. Fox, a vote of thanks
was unanimously given to Mr. Gill and the Board of
Directors, and the meeting separated.

SOUTHWARK ELECTION.
MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF SIR WM.

MOLESWORM.

A district meeting of the electors of Christchurch,
Wackfriers, was held at the Duke of Wirtemburg
public-house, Hatfidd-street, Stamford-street, for the
purpose of hearing an exposition of Sir Wm. Mules-
worth's political opinions.
At a few minutes after seven o'clock, Sir William,
,ccomp ',flied by same of the members of his committee,
entered the room aid was received with loud cheering.
Mr. BRADY having been called to the chair, briefly
explained the causes which had prompted the Hon.
Barr. to come forward, and concluded by introducing
him as a candidate for the Borough.
Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH said that before pro-
ceeding to an exposition of his political sentiments he
shy ted advert to the other candidates who were in the
field. The one was %Er. l'ilcher, who was decidedly
opposed to bin in principles ; and the other was Mr.
Miall, who, def.-ated in argument, descended to per-
sonality.—(Cheers, cries of " No, no," and great con-
fusion.) lie (Sic Wm. Molesworth) had been first
accused by Dr. Price of gross dishonesty, and Mr.
Apsley Pellatt called all those dishonest who supported
him, because they did net think as he did.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Pellatt had denounced him as unfit to be their
representative in Parliament, because, forsooth, he had
been educated in one of the English universities.—
(Cries of " Shame.") Did he consider the being edu-
cated at one of these universities was a crime ?
(Cheers.) It it were a crime, he acknowledged himself
guilty.—(Cheers.) He had been educated at Trinity
College. in Cambridge, where Sedgwick and
Whewell were the tutors. (Cheers.) If it
were a crime, it had been also committed by the greatest
times in the country—the most intelligent., the most
distinguished in literature, in science and the arts.—
(C..eers.) He would put it, therefore, to them, if the
very fact that there he got his education should disqua •
lily him from being their representative ?—(Cries of
" No. no.") But the Rev. Mr. Miall had asserted that he
was insincere with regard to the voluntary question, be-
cause ha happened to possess some property in the
Church of England. Now he acknowledged that be did
possess such property.—(Cheers.) He inherited it from
his Miter, and could not suppose even the Rev. Mr.
Miall could blame him for retaining it.—(Cheers) He
did acknowledge that his personal interests were to a cer-
tain degree opposed to voluntaryism ; but notwithstand-
ing this, he did solemnly declare that he was in favour
of the voluntary principle.—(Cheers.) Could not the
Rev. Mr. Miall conceive a notion higher than mere per-
sonal interest ? Did he think that there was no other
feeling existing but self-interest ?—(Cheers.) Did he
think that truth, sad honesty, and justice, were fled, and
that the governing principle in every breast was self, self,
self ?—(Cheers.) Did he think that some men were not
independent °none' to hold opinions opposed to their
personal interests ?—(Continued cheering) Aye, and
to act up to them.—(Great cheering.) If he entertain( d
such degrading views of human nature—(Cheers and
great confusion)—he repeat. d, that if Mr. Miall enter-
tained these degrading views with regard to human
nature, he was greatly to be pitied.—(lncreased
confusion and great cheering.) But he would
ask the Ro.v. Mr. Miall whether he himself
supported voluntary principles from interested mo-
tives, or with dishorn st views ?—(Tremendous up-
roar.) He (Sir Wiliam Molesworth) believed he
d:d not, and he only wished that the same jus-
tice might be rendered to himself in return.—(Cheers.)
Ile only wished that Mr. Miall would suppose that his
(Sir William Moleswoith's) feelings were equally just
and honest as his own.—(A Voice in the crowd—" Oh,
he's a systematical, methodistical, atheistical humbug.")
(Roars of laughter, which stopped the proceedings for
some time.) lie (Sir William Nlolesworth) might state,
in reference to his connexion with the Church of Eng-
land, that when asked to give ground for the erection
of Dissenting chapels on his estates in Devonshire or
Cornwall, he had dune so.— (Cheers.) He had been ac-
cused by one man of gross dishonesty; by another wall
having received his education at' he University of Cam-
bridge—(Derisive cheers)—and by a third with insin-
cerity, because of his connexion with the Church of
England. Nay, lastly, the Rev. Mr. Miall had endea-
voured to excite against him every fe ling of religious
rancour and animosity, and, inquisitorial like, he had
presumed to summon him (Sir William Molesworth)
before his tribunal—(Cheers)—he had poured upon his
head all the vials of religious wrath, and bad stigma.
tised as dishonest those who had honoured him with
their support.—(Cheers.) Yes, Mr. Miall had called
upon the electors of Southwark to shrink from him
with horror.—(Cries of " Shame.") He (Sir William
Molesworth) was, in consequence of an inaccuracy in
the morning pap ra, reported to have misrepresented
Mr. Miall's opinions. From those reports he had been
led to believe that Mr. Miall had promised, in the event
of his being returned for Southwark, that on the very
first opportunity Le would, in his place in Parliament,
test the opinions of the House of Commons on the
voluntary qu ‘stion, by moving the appropriation of all
the revenues of all religions.—(Cheers and confusion,
which for a time impeded the address of the
Honourable Baronet) He did believe that Mr.
Miall had made such a promise, and, in eon
sequence, he (Sir Wm. Molesworth) had presumed to
inform him that such a motion would be considered by
all practical men in the House of Commons as wild and
extravagant.—(Cheers.) He had suggested to him to
try, in the first instance, his hand upon the Church of
Ireland.—(Cheers.) But it appeared that he had tnisre-
preented the Rev. Mr. Miall, for all he now promised was
merely to adopt that very suggestion and to propose the
appropriation of the Irish Church revenues.—(Cheers.)
Why he (Sir W. Molesworth) would, if returned for
them. do vein what he had already in Parliament done,
cordially support such a motion.—(Cheers.) The Rev.
Mr. Miall might have considered that he would be but
adopting the well-known motion of Mr. Ward's, which
he (Sir W. Molesworth) and other lion. Members had
voted for, long before Mr. Miall's name had ever been
heard of.—(Cheers.) In fact, this mountain of the Rev.
Gentleman's had pr duced a ridiculously small mouse.—
(Cheers and laughter.) But Mr. Ailed had also pro-
mised that if returned to Parliament he would move for
the rescinding of the grant to Maynooth.—(Laughter and
cheers.) Easier said than done.—(Cheers.) It was an
idle threat, a mere brutum fulmen. Why they knew that
in order to make such a motion it was necessary first to
receive the sanction of the Crown. Now let them fancy
the Rev. Mr. Miall.—(A voice, " He is not a clergyman;
he never was." Another voice, " He is ;" great
confusion.)

Sir W. MOLESWORTII—Once a clergyman, always a
clergyman. (Cheers.) (First voice—" He never
preached." Second voice—" He did." First voice—
" Where ?" Second voice—" Smithfield." Roars of
Taaght•-, diet ring, and moist admired confusion.)
t them fancy his reverend friend Mr. Miall
going to Sir Robert Peel and asking permission
to make such a motion. Let them fancy him also givirg
as a reason, that in order to defeat Sir William Moles-
worth in Southwark, he bad been obliged to promise his
supporters to get the Mayrnoth grant rescinded.—
(Laughter.) He would let them imagine the Prime
Minister's reply.—(Cheers.) But was the very promise
to make such a motion not a positive insult to the Irish
people ? Mr. O'Connell had said to his fellow-country-
men—(A voice, " Down with O'Connell.") If they
wished to put down O'Connell then let them do justice
to Ireland.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell had told his
countrymen that from the days of Queen Elizabeth Eng-
lish legislation towards the sister country had been but
a continued series of blunders.—(Cheers.) Then, would
they, the electors of Southwark—would they l

He was in favour of triennial Parliaments, the vote by
hal'ot, and the extension of the suffrage.—(A voice—

He pointedly denied it. It was, indeed, asserted
Mr. Feargus O'Connor, in a handbill headed " Miall and
the Charter," that he (Mr. O'Connor) bad heard him
thrice, in the year 1836, aovocate immediate and univer-
sal suffrage. Ile again denied that he had done so. He
affirmed on his honour as a gentleman that he never had.
—(Cheering and great confusion.) His character and
that of Mr. O'Connor were before the world, and he
was very confident that his assertion would have quite
as much weight with the people of England as that of
the former gentleman.—(Great cheering.) After some
other observations the Hon Baronet sat down.
Mr. Wm. HAwEs, in a short speech, proposed the
usual resolutions, pledging the meeting to support Sir
Molesworh in his election.
Mr. MEEK seconded, and it was carried almost unani-
roon.-ly„

Sir Wm. MoLEswonnt then proposed the vote of thank>
to the Chairman, after which the meeting (certainly one
of the noisiest yet held) dispersed.
