ENGLISH RAILROADS.
Great Increase of Capital Invested In the
Undertaking.
From Vie London Times, St i.
The prowth of the capital invested in rail
ways in the United Kingdom has experienced a
very great increase during the last fifteen years.
In 1862 this capital stood at 264,165,672; in 1S63
at 273,324,614; in 1854, 286,068,794; in 1855, at
297,584,709; in 1856, at 307.69f),086; in 1857,
at dl5,157,270; in 1858, at 325,375,507; In 1859,
at 334,362,928; in I860, at 348,100,117: in 1861,
at 362,327.338; in 1862, t 385,218,438; in 1803,
at 404,215.302; in 1864, at 425,719,613; and in
1865, at. 456.478,143.
It will be observed that between. 1852 and 1862
the average increase of railway capital only
averaged 11,000.000 or 12,000,000 per annum;
-while in 1863 it was 18.997,364; in 1864,
21,603,811; and in 1866, 29,758,530. It is this
tendency to exaggerated railway Investment
-which induced the troubles which atllicted the
railway interest last year, and which still con
tinue to some extent, the growth of capital
accounts having outstripped the progress of
traffic receipts. Nevertheless, the railway
revenue of the kingdom displays a constant
tendency to increase, having amounted in 1852
to 16,710,564; in 1853 to 18'035,H79; in 1854 to
20,215,724; in 1855 to 21,607 699; in 1856 to
23,165,491; in 1857 to J24.174.610; in 1858 to
23,956,749; in 1859 to 25,743,602; in I860 to
27.766,622; in 181 to 28,565,355; in 1862 to
29,128,658; In 18C3 to 31,160,397; in 1804 to
33,911,547; and in 1865 to 35,751,055.
THE FRENCH MONEY MARKET.
Effect of Napoleon's Speeches on Trade
and the Bourse.
From the London Times (city article), Sept. I.
The financial advices from Paris describe a
elate of inactivity and distrust almost exactly
similar to that which prevails on this side.
There, as here, the rate in the discount market
1b about 141 percent., and on the Bourse it
is diilicult on any terms to find employment for
flouting eapl'ai. The intense feeling of depres
sion and want of confidence are not, it is said,
due to political causes so much as persons at a
distance have supposed. Although uneasiness
exists on the subject, there is no active appre
hension of war, aud any diminution in the popu
larity of the Emperor is, perhaps, for the most
purt. only such as must alwavs be expected In
times of disappointment and depression.
The principal element in the adverse senti
ment consists, as on this side, in the tremendous
losses sustained by the collapre of joint stock
and other speculations. According to some
calculations, the loss alone iu the various under
. takings with which the Credit Mobilter is con
nected amounts to sixty millions sterling, and
the rapid decline in the shares of that company
influences the prices of all other securities.
Another source of heavy pecuniary suffering
has been found in the Spanish railways, and
k....r.ilin mininf the Provincial lines in
Pranrs itself wbieh have fallen Into a position
hud a ihat of the English companies. Under
thede circumstances it may be inferred that
every effort of the Government will oe required
to establish a belief in the permanence of peace,
and to induce investments m au uuuu
Ui
Jlithtito tie vacillation of tone In the various
recent speeches of the Emperor has increase
the general paralyse, but the public seem no
to be of opinion that a condition of affairs has
arrived in which a consistent and palpable
course, in harmony with the steady interests of
trade and industry, must be adopted, or that
otherwise a degree of impatient discontent will
be engendered that may lead to a serious crisis.
BELGIUM.
The Widow of Maximilian.
According to the Belgian Journals, the Empress
Charlotte of Mexico has had au Interview with
the Duke d'Aumale and the Prince do Jolnville.
The Queen of the Belgians took them to her at
Tervueren, and presented them wltbont any
SreviODB warninr. "Here, Charlotte 1" said her
ajet.T, "are our uncles from England come to
see you I" "Ah I my uncle Henry I" cried the
Empress, rnnniug up to the Duke. d'Anraale,
and she embraced him. "And Jolnville I" she
added, embracing him also. Then she began
talking about America, but frequently looked
around as if in terror, and at momenta she
started under apparently the apprehension that
some one was about to stab her from behind.
She spoke of the Fenian movement in the United
States, of Paraguay, and Brazil, but said not a
word about Mexico. She evidently wanted to
bring the two Princes to speak of that country,
but did not succeed. At last she took leave of
them with a certain deerree of coldness; she was
evidently vexed that they did not speak of what
she had most at heart.
THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
Letter from Mr. William Lloyd Garrison.
From the London Daily News, Sept. 4.
The usual annual fete and concert of the Band
of Hope Union, aud other societies connected
with the temperance and total abstinence move
ment, took place yesterday at the Crystal
Palace. The attendance was immense the cen
tral transept and the navo and side aisles for a
considerable distance on cither side between
crowded almost to excess. Considerable disap
pointment was occasioned by the announcement
made at the commencement of the proceedings
that Mr. William Lloyd Garrison, whose name
had been published as one ot the intended
speakers, would not be present, and in the
course of the day the following letter from that
gentleman was read:
"Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. SO. Dear Mr. Rae:
When I saw you in London you will remember that
I declined giving a specific promise to attend the
Crystal Palace Temperance fete on tbe 8d of (Septem

my purpose to do so, should circumstances prove
favorable. If I tailed to come in person 1 pledged to
send you my testimony in the shape ot a letter, to be
used as you might think proper. The pledge I shall
now redeem, not being able to be present for reasons
which are decisive, but which It is unnecessary here
to specily. I shall deeply regret any disappoint
ment that may be cansea by my non-appearance.
My heart Is, and for forty years lias been, thor

the very highest gratification to witness so grand an
assemblage of Its true and undaunted friends. My
own disappointment, theretnre. will be duly appre
ciated. What can I say tbat has not already been
said and repeated a million limes over, la words of
warning, entreaty, affection, aud love, respecting the
omnipresent curse of Intemperance, and the solemn
duty ol all who claim to be animated by the senll
menis of humanity, or governed by the principles
of Christianity, to labor for tbe removal of that curse
lroni tbe earth by an uncompromising testimony
against tbe habitual and moderate use of Intoxicfulng
drinks? Tbe sure, the only remedy Is to be
fouud in obedience to tbe saving Injunction, "Toach
not, taste net. handle not." There are many evils of
colossal dimensions wblcb are merely local, and
bounded by certain decrees of latitude and longitude.
Tbe evil of Intemperance follows the sun In in cir
cuit, overleups all geographical barriers, disregard
all differences of clinxtte, conquers all nationalities,
and covers the whole earth with Its desolating
tracks. For tbe last three centuries chattel

all tbe Immoderate drinking in the world; and woen
it is banished from society as a habit or fashion, the
work of reformation will be transcendently glorious.
Ol the myriads who have gone down to drunkards'
graves, not one purposely sought his miserable fate,
or failed to find It through the trap door of moderate
drinking. As in Ibe struggle lor the abolition of

The Proposed Fete and Banquet Letters

From the London Daily News, Sept. 3.
At a general meeting of the Loudon Working

reure to the forthcoming fete and banquet at the
Crjstal Palace on the 30th inat., the Secretary
read tbo following letters from Earl Kussell and
the Right Hen. W. E. Gladstone, M. P.:
"PKirnr ' j 3 Lodge, Richmond Park, Aug. 31.

are to be maintained. In my opinion, a general, sound ,

the maintenance ot the Church or the minority, of

all these measures the present Government will, X
conceive, use the influence they have acquired to re

my Judgment, are absolutely essential to the future
welfare and honor of the United Kingdom. I beg you

The letter from Mr. Gladstone was A

It appears to me that such a celebration 'as your

meeting la Dublin Letter from Mr.
John Jstuart Mill.
From Jieuter't Telegrams, Sept. i.
Last night a very large meeting of the worklntr
classes of Dublin wasiield, under the Presi
dency of the Lord Mu?5r, in the Mcchaulca'
Institute, on behalf of Parliamentary Tform.
A letter was read from John Stuart Mill, in
which tbe honorable gentleman said:
"I have long been convinced tbat complete Justice to
Ireland was scarcely to he hoped lor unless h? a re
form in Parliament sufficiently tnoroogh to take
away the prenent preponderance of the landed Inte
rest, and transfer a large share ol political power to
classes who are not under the Influence of landed or
Church prejudices. There is considerable reason to
hoi e that the Parliamentary reform which we have
now obtained may accomplish this. Whatever pow r
bss been rained by the work I ok classes or by the ad
vanced Liberals will, 1 am couvlnced, be used for the
complete redress ot the grlevancesof Irelindon the
two most fundamental points the Church and the
land. An era of liop, therefore, Is opening lor Ire
land, wblcb, If improved by wise and harmonious
action on the part of your representatives and ours,
may make the connection between, the two countries
an unalloyed benefit te both."
The meeting was addressed by the O'Dono
ghue, Mr. Benles, Mr. Cnrter, and other English
and Scotch reformers. Resolutions were unani
mously adopted declaring that no suffrage but
manhood residal ouyht to be satisfactory; that
tbe ballot is indispensable, and tbat Irish re
formers should heat lily co-opeiate with those
of England and Scotland for the establishment
of full public liberty without distinction.
The reading of Mr. Mill's letter was hailed
with loud cheering.

The "Black Crook" In the Tombs Police
Court Betty Klgal in a New Hole, Ktc.
Yesterday morning, Mr. Harry Wall', the well
known actor aud theatrical avent, was arraigned
belore Justice Uowllng. at the TomDS rouce uoun,
having- been arrestad by Captain Jourdn, or the
Sixth Precinct, on a warrant Issued by the above
magistrate, charging htm with lining abuslvo lan
guage towards Mr. Palmer, of XKtck Orook fame,
and threatening to injure tbe business at Niblo's
Theatre.
It Is alleged tbat some months ago Mr. Wall, to his
capacity as theatrical agent, coutrlved to Induce
Mxd'lle Betty Klgal, at tout time one of the leading
ladles attached to Jarrett A Palmer's famous Black
Crook ballet troupe, to break, her engagement with
her employers, by promising I hat lady an Increase of
salary, and more extended and brilliant opportunity
for the display ol her skill aa a iliinteutn. Mad'lle
Itlgsl. dazzled by tbe brilliant prospects before her,
accepted an engagement at the hands of Mr. Wall,
aud appeared at the principal theatres In Chicago,
Boston, and is at present Blurring at Pniladelpbia.
More recently, it is alleged that Mr. Wall Induced
Mad'UeSangall, another of the leading ladies of tbe
ballet, to break ber engagement with Messrs. Jarrett &
Palmer, and accept an engagement from Mr. Wall.
Tbls lady, it appears, left Nlbio's on the 7th Inat., and
It was further state 1 in court that both the ladles
alluded to are dissatisfied at the nou-fulrllment of the
promises held out to them by tbe defendant. The
rivalry between Mr. Wall and the Jilack Crook
managers culminated lu a personal dilllculty on Sat
urday night lust, when Mr. Wall preseutod himself
at tbe entrance of the theatre and attempted to pass
the doorkeeper, a privilege he bad heretofore enjoyed
as a professional. Mr. Palmer was at the door, and,
naturally Incensed at the conduct of Mr. Wall lu
deprlviug him of two of tbe leading ladles of bis
troupe, refused to allow blm to enter the bouse,
whereupon Mr. Wall waxed very wrolb, and a war
of words ensued between tbe rival agents. Wall
poured lorth a torrent of personal abuse, and bis In
dignation getting the bet of bis discretion, he boa t
ingly expressed bis intention of "exploding" the
Jilack Crook, aud shaking his list detluiuty at Mr.
Palmer, walked out of tbe lobby. Subsequently
Messis. Jarrett, Palmer, and Wbealley appeared he
fore Justice Dowllng, and applied for a warrrnt for
tbo arrest of tbe Impetuous wall, complalulng that
be bad threatened to Injure their busluess prospscts
In the future as he bad attempted to do In the past.
When arraigned belore tbe magistrate tbe accused,
who was represented by counsel, demanded an ex
amination, which, of course, was granted, and tlmio
bail was accepted lor his future appearance. In the
meaniime an effort will be made to procure the
attendance of Miles, Regal, and Sangall as witnesses
at tbe examination, which will take place at an early
dav. Should Captain Jourdan succeed In procuring
tbe attendance of these ladles, the examination will
be an exceedingly Interesting one. as their evideme
will doubtlets develop new tacts In regard to the
qunrrel between the rival managers and agent whlcb
will be edifying to the general public JV. . World o
to day. , -

"The Controller has not made out all the Habllltlee
of tbe different railroads for Interest. Receivers have
been appoinled for several, which will Insure the net
