FROM CONCORD.
Concord, n. H., June "a.
Railroad Matters.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire
into the management of the Concord and
Northern Railways, have been in session
during the forenoon, and have examined Hon.
Moody Currier of Manchester, in reference
to the use of the funds of the Manchester
Savings Bank for speculative purposes. Mr..
Moody's testimony was in the main repeti-
ton of that given before the Judiciary Com,
and showed that there was a combination to
purchase the stock of the road and that an
obligation was entered into, that no member
of the ring was to sell out his stock, unless
certain number agreed to. Geo. Stearns
testified to the proposition made to him in
March last, by Mr.. johnson of the new
board, that they had or would have stock
sufficient to control the election of the new
board of directors, and conversation en-
sued as to the future arrangements of the
roads.
The Governor says that the local business
of the Northern Railroad would not pay, and
he had to look for arrangements for through
business, and on this ground he offered $780,
600 to Mr.. johnson to be paid to the new
Board of Directors on the completion of the
contract for 20 years, and an agreement was
to be assented to that the Conductors cases
were to be dropped. This contract was to be
similar to the one existing between the Con-
cord and Manchester Railroads.
A number of supplementary provisions were
taken into consideration, and this was subse-
quently submitted to the ring at Boston and
rejected. Pending the testimony Of Governor
Stearns the Committee adjourned until three
o'clock.

We have given the National Coffee Pot, of
which we spoke the other day, thorough
test and feel free to say that it is in every re-
spect all that it has been recommended to be.
No matter how long the pot may remain upon
the stove, or how long the water may contin-
ue to boil in the outer pot, there can be no
injury to the coffee, but it is drawn pure and
sweet, fragrant and refreshing, from the inner
vessel. Usually, with the time-established
modes of boiling, the room has been filled
with the delightful aroma; but with this adj
mrable continuance all this is retained to be
enjoyed by the coffee drinker when he comes
to sip the delightful cup that "exhilerates but
not intoxicates." Mr.. Edward Rowse, Water
street, is the only agent for the National COT
fee Pot Company in this city.

Edward Bolton of this city, a lad IL years
ofage, son of Andrew Bolton, and his brother,
three years older, were yesterday forenoon
engaged in catching logs in the river, the
owners of the logs giving reward for all thus
secured. quarrel arose between the broth
brother to secure log which he had thrice
struck with pick but which escaped him on
account of his strength not being equal to the
occasion. The elder brother gave Edward
blow in the face which set his nose to bleed
ing. He then told him to bath his face and
wash off the blood. This he refused to do,
and the elder brother proceeded to give him
severe beating, ending with kicking him in
the side of the head. The rascal then sculled
the boat to the eastern shore of the river, and
after landing showed off the boat containing
his brother, who had become insensible from
his rough treatment into the river, and took
to flight in an opposite direction. Several
boys in a boat discovered the floating craft,
and towed it to the shore. Young Bolton was
perfectly insensible and appeared benumbed,
trembling in every part. He was brought to
his home on Water street, physician sent
for and the usual means applied for his restor
alton. In an hour he was restored to con-
sciousness. DIR. Martin made an examination
and found no bones broken, and most likely
the lad will speedily recover. The inhuman
brother has not made his appearance at the
present writing. 1t was one of the most das-
tardly and wicked acts that we have chronicled
for some time.

AUSTRALIA.
Great BIitain's Possession - The Subject of
lAnledArnIlnn

Great BIitain's Possession - The Subject of
Confederation.
The Melbourne (Australia) Age, in an article
in regard to q congress of delegates, represent
ing the colonies of New South Wales, South
Australia, Tasmania, Queensland, and Victoria,
upon the subject of confederation, says
Even on the score of bulk, population, trade
and revenue, the Australian colonies hold high
rank, when gauged by a European standard.
The area of these colonies is equal TO all Europe:
their population will be found, by next wears
census. TO be two millions, exclusive of the abo-
riginal races; their revenue equals the aggregate
of five European kingdoms and one republic
namely, Portugal, Denmark, SaXony, Wurtem-
berg, Greece and Switzerland Comparing State
with State, the six eastern colonies of Australia
are the equivalents, severaly and collectively, of
these six European powers. In the trade re-
turns of Great Britain Australia stands fourth
on the list as n market for her manufactures
and sixth as supplier of raw produce. To
say that representatives of six such States can
not meet, discuss, and take action on every
question OF mutual importance to them, without
waiting for approval from the other side of the
world, where they are ignorant of
the peculiar circumstances which may
render a particular course of action desirable
here, is to deny the whole theory of responsible
representative government. 1t would be a grace
full act of the British Government to notify form
ally its determination to initiate policy of nom
interference with the colonies, either in their in
teInal affairs or i'm their relations one with an
other. If this be not done the colonies will
quickly assume their full rights, and leave the
Secretary for the Colonies TO protest if he likes,
and to interfere if he can
