THE TENANT FARMER'S ADVOCATE.
It is abundantly manifest that the position of the agricul-
tural interest as a class is undergoing, And must undergo, a great
change. In such change the relative position of " Landlord and
Tenant" will form the most Important feature, and the establish-
ment of a sound system of " Tenants' Rights" will be a cardinal
point for " Tenant Farmers." For fourteen years THE MARK-
LANE EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL has
been the zealous and uncompromising advocate of the Tenants'
Rights, and with the conviction that the interests of the Tenantry
are vitally involved in the question, the columns of this journal will
be continuously devoted to its discussion and elucidation.
Published every M6nday ha time for post. May be had by order

TOURS AND NANTES RAILWAY.
MACKENZIE, PATERSON, AND CO.
REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS.
Your Directors have tho satisfaction to announce the amalgama-
tion of eight principal Companies in competition for the lease of this
Railway.
Among these competitors, your Company occupied a proud posi-
tion. They not only presented a subscription list of tho ye, first
class, and comprising much that was calculated to inspire public
Ideuce, but a depo3it fund, amounting to 6,425,000 f., or more
double the caution-money required by the French Government.
F t is gratifying to your Directors that, by common consent, even
amongst their competitors, the first place was conceded to your Com-
pany.
In the actual state of the money market, and In the present de-
pressed situation of railway property in general, your DireCtOrS
deemed It prudent to prefer rather a fraction of a concession, obtained
upon the very best terms, than to run the risk of a probably reckless
competition, that could not fall to be ruinous to the Company who
should obtain it.
To arrive at a result so much to be desired, and to include in this
arrangement all the bona fide competing Companies, your Directors
made many successive sacrifices. They have succeeded in retaining
one-fifth of the stock, and seven Directors (four French and three
English) in tho consolidated Company, viz. :

Captain Chamfer, R.N.
The competition of the " Postmasters' Company" did not in the
least alter the determination of your Directors as to their bidding.
They had made up their minds, whatever might be the number of
competitors, not to accept the lease of this railway unless for a term
that could not fall to be highly remunerative to the Shareholders
(considered only with respect to the actual traffic), in addition to the
mathematical certainty of the repayment of the capital in the terra
of the lease, by the operation of a moderate sinking fund.
The result of the adjudication is, a lease to the consolidated Com-
pany for a term of 34 years sad 15 days, to be computed from the
period of the opening ef the line to the public, throughout its entire
length from Tours to Nantes. The maximum term fixed by the law
relating to this railway was 35 years.
As to the general conditions of the grant, it may suffice to Pay,
that they are precisely the same In every respect as those of the Or-
leans and Bordeaux Railway, except that in the case cf the Tours
and Nantes Railway the Company are bound te repay the Govern-
ment the actual cost of the land for the seat ef the railway and its
accessories.
The Company Al thus have to support only about one-half of the
entire cost of an admirably constructed railway, stocked and appointed
in the most efficient manner. They will, consequently, have only
one-half the capital on which to provi le a dividend, with the whole
net revenue of the line applicable to that purpose.
After the distribution of a return equal to eight per cent. per an-
num to the Shareholders, the Government is entitled to one-half of
albs ausplue-protus, but not wall after the first five years of the open-
ing of the line throughout to Nantes, and not even then unless the
aggregate profits of the preceding years shall have been equal to six
per cent. on the capital actually expended, plus a inking Mad.
Your Directors would just observe, that a sinking fund of one and
a half per cent., improved at four per cent. compound interest, (i. e.,
extinguishing a four per cent. stock, by paying off a certain number
of Shares annually), will liquidate the whole capital of the Company
in 33 years 46 days. There will then remain nearly one year ef the
lease unexpired, together with the value of the stock, materials. and
stores, to be reprid to the Company by the Government, or the futere
lessees of the railway, within three months after the determination of
the term of the lease.
'the revenue of the last year of the term, together with the amount
of the valuation of-the stock and stores of the Company, will amount
to several millions of francs, which will be either distributed in the
shape of a bonus to the ultimate Shareholders, or the animal sinking
fund may be reduced to one and a quarter per cent. on the capital
from the commencement, as the Directors may determine.
Considered in all its bearings, and more especially with respect to
the strong presumption that the first lessees of the French railways
will be lessees in perpetuity, subject to a fine of some sort on renewal
of the term, your Directors are led te believe that the grant of this
railway, upon the terms upon which ithas been obtained, will be one
of the best, if not the very best railway property in France.
The foregoing arrangements as to the distribution of the capital
amongst the competing Companies will enable your Directors to give
one share in the coneplidated Company for every five of the reduced
shares in this Compity. Parties entitled to fractions ef shares may
render them available by joining several together, and dividing the
whole shares afterwards, for which every possible facility will be
given.
The rights MI the Shareholders will be preserved intact, although
they may have omitted to exchange their old receipts 'for new encs
in time for the late competition.
The adjudication pronounced in favour of this Company, on Tues-
day, November 25th, was approved by Royal Ordinance, in the offi-
cial " Moniteur" of Friday, the 28th of the same month. Such is the
favourable light in which this consolidated Company is viewed by
the Government, that the Royal Ordinance approving the statutes
of the Company, usually a work of some months, has been already
obtained.
The Company is thus definitely and legally constituted a secrete
anonyme, by which the liability ef a shareholder is limited to the
number of shares of which he is the proprietor.
The first duty of ybur Directors will be to return to the Share-
holders the excess of the deposits paid, after retaining 51. per share
on the consolidated shares, at the same time ter give a voucher
for the number of shares to which each shareholder is entitled.
This duty will be entered upon as soon as the necessary forms can be
prepared and printed, on Friday, 12th of December.
The Certificates of Shares in the names of the Proprietors will he
issued es soon as they can be got ready. The statutes of this Com-
pany permit that the Shares may be transferred to !wirer, when 101.
per Share shall have been paid up, after which no transfer will be
required.
The works of construction are in a great state of ferwardness nearly
throughout the whole line, but more especially so on the first and
most important section, between Tours and Angers. No time will
bo lost in taking the requisite measures for bringing this highly pro-
ductive section into early active operation in connexion with the
section of the Bordeaux Railway between Orleans and Tours.
Finally, the capital is More than sufficient for the completion and
stocking of the railway.

SURREY THEATRE.
The Infant Sappho commenced an. engagement for
five performances at this theatre last evening. At the
conclusion of the first piece, The Minute Gun at Sea,
there was a concert in which the Sappho appeared, sup-
ported by her father (Mr. Vinning) and Miss
Amelia Vinning. We have so frequently had occasion
to express our admiration of the performances of this
wonderful child, and so flattering have been the recorded
opinions of the first musicians of the day as to her -
transcendent abilities, that to dilate upon her merits is
now become a work of supererogation. She pos-
sesses the god-like gift, genius—but not untutored
genius. She is a rule unto herself, and if she does not
intuitively comprehend, she is at all events intuitively
guided by the most exact and abstruse rules of musical
science. She thoroughly understands harmony, and is
a clever contrapuntist. Like Mozart, while yet a child
in years, she is a giant in musical science. Her per-
formance was followed by the farce of The Hole in the
Wall, after which we had the grand spectacle of The
Forty Thitves, which has been revived at this theatre in
all its pristine splendour. The house was crowded in
art.

In cases of chilblains, chapped skin, or incidental inflammation, it
is pre-eminently successful, and gentlemen after shaving will find it
allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft,

and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the
Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of
nent of Europe, together with the " ilete" of the aristocracythe,Conti-

Its high reputation induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the
spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of mineral astringents,
utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en-
dangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see
that the words "Rowland's Kalydor" are on the envelope (an en-

Last year's show was certainly the finest, both in point
oblfamin eanedxhiitbiistinono
this year is inferior sn both respects.
The number of Isbrned cattle is not at all equal to
what it was last yeite. There are certainly some very
fine animals, well shaped and well fed, which cannot but
strike any agriculturist, and there are some which we
think might have fairly been classed amongst the extra
stock which are herb placed along with the prizes. The
sheep are as numerous as lest year, and in ap-
pearance very fine. No particular pen, however,
struck us at all • worthy of special remark. The
Southdowns are numerous and good; equally so
the Leicester and cross breeds. The swinish de
pertment of the exhibition contains the usual
amount of grunting obesity, anything hilt attractive to
the general observer, however pleasing they may have
been to the breeders and the judges. The machine-room
not being lighted.up, and, as we understood, sev, ral of
the implerrents not- being properly fitted, we had no
opportunity of judging either of their novelty or inge-
nuity. So far As we could see there was no machine ex-
hibited with the general principles of which we were not
previously acquainted. ,
It would be invidious of us to select any names for
remark other than those mentioned in the list of prizes ;
indeed, there can be but one opinion that the judges
most admirably performed their duties. The short-
horned ox of Prince-Albert is a fine animal, and does
much credit to the feeder. Several specimens from the
stock of the late Earl Spencer attracted attention, but
were not entered for competition. Several well-known
names as breeders and feeders we noticed ; amongst
others the Duke of Bedford, the Marquis of Exeter, the
Earl of Warwick, the Earl of Leicester, the lion. Mr.
Nugent, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, &c.
From the excellent arrangements which have been
made the exhibition is certainly much more pleasing
this year than last, and the animals seen to greater ad-
vantage. There is no crowding of the beasts, and ample
mom is left for traversing from one end of the show to
the other.
We subjoin the of prizes as awarded by the judges :

and live at West-street. St. Martin's-lane. I knew James
in at our shop frequently on the night of the fire. I saw
him from half-past eleven to ten minutes past twelve that
night, he was then at our shop. We wished to close the shop.
There was a clock in the shop. The public-house opposite to
us was closed. James Gadsden lived at a public-house.
About half- past one that morning I heard some one rousing
Gadsden, saying, " Get up, Gadsden, your father's houses are
on fire." I got up, and saw Gadsden come out of the public-
house, and go towards the fire.
Mary Ann Glascott, the mother of the last witness, cor-
roborated the testimony given by her daughter.
Elizabeth Mary Hall—l live opposite the house that was
burned. On the day of the fire I recollect goods being re-
moved from that house. I saw Mary Wheale leave the
house in the evening. A man was standing near her. In
the course of the night, I believe, but will not pledge my
oath, I saw lights upon the premises. To the best of my
belief, I saw the light of a candle in the house ten minutes
before twelve. lam sure it was before twelve.
W. Braddock-- I am a cabinet-maker inspest-street, St.
Martin's-lane. On the night of the fire I was getting into
bed, when the alarm of fire was given. I dressed and went
out, and found a fire at No. 2. I then went up to a public-
house, and called up James Gadsden. I went down with him
to the fire.
John Marshall—l knew James Gadsden. On the night of
the fire I was passing along at. Martin's-lane, and saw James
Gadsden come out of the private house, No. 2. It was just
after the public-houses were closed at twelve o'clock. I have
no doubt it was him. He ran towards West-street. There
was a person waiting at the corner of West-street. Gadsden
appeared to join that person. I have no doubt that person
was Topham, but I did not pay attention enough to know.
I did pay attention enough to say that it was Topham, but I
could not. swear it was him. I saw them both next morning.
I said " The premises are burned down at last." Jas. Gadsden
laughed, and Topham would not look me in the face.

By the Jursoi:--Somebody came for him on the Sunday
morning
The S'oucrron-GesrEstAr, then addressed the jury upon
the evidence produced by the plaintiff, in reply.
Mr. JEnvis then addressed the jury in reply upon the
whole of the case; he spoke in very strong terms upon the
fact of Waller having been kept and fed by the defendant's
solicitor. It was evident that the plaintiff could obtain no
information from Thomas Foale (who was closeted and locked
up probably with Waller, and who was such a witness
that this immaculate office dared not call him), and he
had made out a claim from the inventory which had before
existed ; he had, therefore, done all he could. Where was
Thomas Foale? he was at this moment eating at the expense
of this office ; if they cared only for their character, why did
they not produce him? if they dared not trust to him, why
did they keep him in good humour? They took his slander,
but would not give the plaintiff an opportunity of showing
the polluted source whence it came. With regard to the in-
terest of the plaintiff in the property. he contended that the
acts of ownership exercised by the plaintiff now proved hi.;
interest in the property, and that he was entitled to a verdict
upon the policy. The Learned Counsel, in a speech of great
length and considerable force, then insisted that the defendant
had not substantiated his pleas, and that not only must those
be found for the plaintiff, but also a verdict must be given in
his behalf for the amount of the policy on which his insurance
was effected.
Mr. Justice CoLERIDGE concluded his summing up at half-
past nine o'clock.
The jury, after a short consultation, asked to look at the
lease, which was accordingly handed to them. After inspect-
ing it, they again consulted together for a short time, and
then returned a verdict—That the plaintiff had not produced
proper vouchers as required by the defendant ; that the
plaintiff was not possessed of the property in respect of which
he claimed ; that he had not furnished so correct an account
of it as he ought to have done; that the premises were de-
stroyed by fire, but not by the act of the plaintiff; that
after the firehe made out a fraudulent account of his loss;
and that the transaction wasefraudulent one on the part of
the plaintiff.
The verdict, therefore, was for the defendant on all the
issues, except the one which alleged that the plaintiff had set
fire to the premises.
