Wilmington Post, is expected to visit Raleigh
at an early day.
CITY MONET was in considerable demand on.
Broad-street yesterday, thanks to the vigorous
measures of the Sheriff. We heard of sales at
83. There is no reason, however, why it should
not be 98. There is over half a million tax to
be collected, and, if we are rightly informed,
there are only about $30,000 of these bills out.

MRS. YELVERTON, we are glad to find, will
give another reading. The Market Hall, the
use of which has been tendered her for this

hearers, to be pleased with and do justice to
the charms of her elocution.

English Railways and Tbelr 1
Embarrassments.
For somo months past our Engl
have been a good deal occupied w
subject of embarrassed railways, s
the most extensive companies ben
most deplorable financial condition. C
tions that have for years floated on ti
most wave of popular favor have coi
sudden halt in their glittering care?
stockholders are greatly discouraged
ugly situation in which they find th
stocks.
The rock upon which these great c
tions have mostly struck, has been tl
pressible desire for dividends-just th*
natural yearning in a shareholder's bi
for the semi-annual jingle of sovereign
to such an extent did this furore prevai
boards of direction surrendered their
judgments, to satisfy the demands of
holders, many of whom never saw the n
or knew its real situation from one yea
to another, and only unfolded their beau
tinted scrip when quarter days came rou
But this dangerous practice of drawi
the future for the means to make the p
look inviting, bas brought about the inei
day of reckoning and some very curio;
closures are brought to light; for instanc
of the largest dividend-paying compani?
adopted as a policy, calculated to stix
energy among certain officers of the roa
division of a percentage of the divi
among said offioials, and as a consequenc
larger the disbursements to shareholde:
greater the salaries to these energotic g
men; and it now turns ont that "capitt
count" is charged with some ?6,000,000-;
liability in excess of any that had been
larry, made known to the credulous ?
holders.
This very discreditable state of affair
had, as a natural consequence, the most
aging effect on English railway securit
the money centres, and great anxiety exii
There can be no doubt that it requires
siderable firmness on the part of officials
corporations to resist the pressure (whi
always available from empty pockets) for
ing dividends. As in was;, success has i
to be considered the sole test of great |
ralship, so in joint stock companies monej
tributed semi-annually is a sufficient evie
of ability, without shareholders looking
unnecessary details and ascertaining wh
came the funds with which to do it.
It is always hard to look the adverse s
tion fully in the face, but it will in thc
provo the wise policy to wear the plainest
ments rather than put on the finery, w
may glitter but is not gold.
Perhaps it may be said with truth, that
railroads throughout the South have sufi
more by the late war than five years of p>
can possibly restore. The four years of 1
use, without the means of keeping up tl
properties, created in itself a necessity
enormous cash outlays at the dose of the <
test, but in tho case of roads swept by me
less annies, their rails twisted, croBS-ties
station-houses burnt, and culverts blown
the difficulties have been almost insurmouj
ble; and yet we know of several companie;
surrounded with difficulties, in which thou;
.ess and uninformed shareholders are agita:
nervously for dividends.
Wc hope the time is not distant when
mall be able to chronicle BO healthy a coi
tion in all our Southern railroad compa??a
to warrant their directions in resuming il
semi-annual favors; but in the meantime, i
jul v making matters worse to borrow moi
it eighteen and twenty-four per cent. ]

ind if any of our readers would like to se s i
.esult of loans for these purposes, even at 1 hi
)er cent, per annum, on the Anal proepec ts
ail way companies, we commend them to an <
unination of the "London, Chatham and I
.or," the "Caledonia" or the "Midland," co:
janies in England.
VENUS ANO JUPITER.-AS these two plant
lave attracted considerable observation a
interest recently, owing to the fact of th<
[ate proximity, a phenomenon never befoie w
ne8sed by our readers, it will not prove uni
tereBting probably to publish a few farts i
garding them. Of all the luminaries
Heaven, the sun and moon excepted, t
planet Venus is most conspicuous. She a
pears like a brilliant lamp among the less
orbs, and alternately anticipates the mandi
dawn, and ushers in the evening twilight. Tl
diameter of Venns hos been competed
about 7800 miles, and consequently its ?mrfa
contains 191,134,944 square miles, and cou
contain a number of inhabitants equal io mo
than 53,500,000,000, or nearly ejxty-seven tim
the population of our globe. Venus revolv?
in an orbit which is 433,800,000 miles m circu?
terence in the space of 221 days and IC hoor
its rate of motion is therefore about 80,01
miles every hour, 1330 miles every minute, ar
about 22 miles every second. Its (Listanc
from the sun is 68,000,000 of miles, a ad froi
the earth, when nearost us, about 27,000,000 <
miles, which is the nearest approach ' hat an
of the heavenly bodies, except the moen, mai
to the earth. Yet this distance is veiy grea
for a cannon ball would require six yoars an
three months to move from the oar h to th
nearest point in the orbit of Venus, although j
were flying every moment at the rate of 50
miles au hour. At its greatest di 9 ta a ce fror
us it is 163,000,000 of miles.
Jupiter, when nearest the earth, is the mos
splendid of all the nocturnal orbe exoept Venu
and thc moon. Its distance from the sun i
495 millions of miles, and the cir cum 1er en ce o
its orbit is 3,100,000,000 of miles. Around thii
orbit it moves in ll years and 315 days at tb
rate of nearly 80,000 miles o very hour. Whei
nearest the earth it is about 400 iiilliona o
miles distant, and when at its greatest distanoi
from us no less than 590 millions of niles. Thii
planet revolves around its axis in tbe space o
9 hours, 55 minutes, 49? seconds. This rota
tion is far more rapid than that of any of tin
other planets. The circumference of Jnpitei
is 278,600 miles, and therefore its equitoria
parts will move with a velocity of 23,000 milet
an hour, which is 3000 miles more than thc
equitorial ports of the earth's surface move ir
24 hours. Jupiter is ll times larger in circum?
ference than the earth, and moves round the
sun in 4332* of our days, and rounc. its axis ic
9 boure, 56 minutes nearly; therefore its yeai
will bo 10,470 days.
This planet is the largest in the system, be?
ing 89,000 miles in diameter, and consequently
14*30 times larger than the earth. Its surface
contains nearly twenty-five thousand millions
square miles, with accommodations for nearly
seven billions of inhabitants, which is nearly
fifty times the number of human beings that
have existed on the earth since its creation.
Such an immense globe, moving forward in
its annual course 30,000 miles every hour, and
carrying along with it four moons, larger than
ours to adorn its firmament, presents to the
imagination an idea at once wonderful and
sublime._
AN ACCIDENT.-We regret to announce an
accident- that occurred to Captain Mackey, of
the firm of Mackey & Baker, yet terday morn?
ing. While on bia way home, his horse ran
against a post at the corner ot' Vanderhorst
and St. Philip streets, and though neither
horse or buggy received any injury, Mr.
Mackey was thrown from bis seat, and the
small bones in his wrist were broken. He was
only a short distanco from his house, and Dr.
Carr ere being called in, soon set the fracture.
A FOUNDLING.-A white male infant, a few
.\seks old, was left on Sunday night at the
I i.<?;r of a residence in the lower part of Meet
.ng-street. The foundling- waB in a carpet bag,
and neatly dressed. A note was found in the
bag giving the name of the child, and request?
ing that be be tenderly treated. The unwel?
come visitor was referred to the Mayor, whose
official position as one of the City Fathers ren?
ders him the guardian of such waifs. We
learn that a colored woman named Mary Scott
has taken temporary charge of the infant.
FORENSIC CLUB,-As will be seen, by a refer?
ence to another column, this club meets to?
night. We are authorized to state that the
meetings are open lo the public, and all who
feel an interest in the solving of legal problems
and discussions of vexed questions of law, may
avail themselves of the opportunity and be
present. The question for discussion this
evening iij as follows: "If ti married woman,
ceslui qui trust, of a property purely personal
(the trust a simple one, in trust for her, and
with no limitations), dies, is her property dis?
tributable, according to the statute, or does it
revert to the donor?" We think the ques?
tion a very debateable one, but refi ain from
expressing an opinion. If her estate were a
Ufe estate, there can scarcely bo a doubt but
thatjthere would result a reversion to the donor;
but we think that the question is purposely
left open on that point in order to render it de?
bateable. The club meets at half-past seven at
the courthouse.
THE SHIP J. A. WRIGHT.-This new and supe?
rior freighting vessel, which we announced in
our issue of yesterday as being ashore on the
breakers of Swash Channel, was taken off at
an earl}- hour on Tuesday. Her agents pro?
cured the services of the steamer Planter,
light draft and double engine steamer of con?
siderable capacity, and the steamer Aid, a tug
of muoh power; they proceeded to her on Mon?
day night, and commenced operations about
12 o'clock, and about S A. M. hauled ber off j
the shoal, and brought her to the city early
yesterday. The ship, we regret to say, is
much injured and bad about four feet of water
in the hold, and part of the bay was thrown
overboard. -
This is a misfortune to all parties, as the
Wright is on her first voyage, of 1270 tone, and
cost $90,000. She is muoh wanted here, and
could secure immediately a full and paying
freight. Captain Morse and her agents aoted
with commendable promptitude, and did every?
thing possible to rescue the ship.

LOTTERY.-It ie better to be born lucky than
rich, says the wise man; and the truth of this
adage bas once again been confirmed in the
good fortune that yesterday befell Weston, a
colored butcher, who eelleth sausages made
of Bwine's flesh in the market-place of tbo good
old City of Charleston. Weston dreamed a
dream, whereof the particulars it is not meet
fo r us to tell. Suffice it to say that, on awak?
ing, be felt sure there was luck in odd num
bors, and straightway wont to the place where
Paters eelleth tickets. "8-41-59" were the
cubalistio numbers chosen by Weston, and
sold by Peters. Far off in the good old oity of |
Paducah, in the State of Kentucky, tho big
wheel of fortune was rolled round, and Wes?
ton's dream came true-"59-3-41" were
among the lucky numbers. Yesterday morn?
ing Weston paid Petera $2 (say two dollars).
Yesterday evening PeterB paid Weston $1200
(say twelve hundred dollars) green and lawful
ourroncy, not " bills receivable." -
Moral.-If you buy a ticket in the Kentucky
Lottery, and the numbers come out all right,
you aro almost certain to draw a prize.
Tho drawings in this lottery, it is needless to
mention to our readers, are published every
day in THE NEWS.
Po8leript.-We learn that Weston ?B seriously
contemplating inaugurating a new feature in
tho manufacture and vending of sausages.
With the example of Lorillard beforo bim, who
puts a fifty dollar greenback in his Century to?
bacco on Mondays, ono hundred dollars on
Tuesdays, ?tc '""?ton thinks of putting a five
cent green*.-.* in one of the stuffed porcine
inner receptacles on Mondays, on Tuesday a
twenty-five cent greonback, a city fifty cent on
Wednesday, and a State ' billreceivable" on
Saturday night. We hope Weston "won't go
back " on this, but carry out this well conceived
project. For, however bills receivable may be
at a discount, the sausages, we opine, will hold
their own.
P. 5. No. 2.-There is to bo an immense
crowd at Mr. B. Scbur's, in Mcoting-strect, this
morning, and a perfect rush at the ticket office.

TAX SALES.-Our readers have for some tit
observed the advertisement, by the Ci
Sheriff, of a number of houses and lota, upi
which tax executions had been issued. Leas
for five years or less on so much of this pi
perty as was not previously settled for, w
yesterday offered at public auction.
The sale was conducted at the steps of tl
City Hall, by the sheriff, Mr. Poter C. Guerr
in the presence of from fifty to ono hun dr?
spectators, which, considering the great i
clemency of the weather, was a very got
crowd. From a close physiognomical obaerv
tion of the attendance, we came to the concli
sion that about one-fifth, mostly blacks, wei
idle s pe ct at oi s, and the other four-fifths wei
equally divided between principals and eecont
in tho sad drama then and there acting befo:
our eves. The modus operandi was somewhi
as follows : Tho sheriff began the exorcises I
reading tho hst of defaulters, as advertised j
yesterday's NEWS. Ho next put up the piece
of property, one by one, as also the amount <
taxes due upon the same. These ranged froi
$17 to $660. The property was offered o
leases of from one to five years, for the pa]
ment of these taxes. There were very fe
bidders, most of the houses and lots onere
being bid in by the city.
A few, we learned, bid on property offeree
merely to secure themselves, having a lie
upon tho same.
These salos were for city taxes of 1866, an
only comprised about twenty or twenty-flv
pieces of property-s small number con s i dei
ing tho hard times and tho ooaxoity of monej
We recollect seeing an advertisement of th
city sheriff of New Orleans, last year, offerin
nearly ono thousand pieces of property unde
the hammer, for non-payment of taxes.
LANDLORDS AND TENANTS, AS AFFECTED B
GENERAL CANBY'S ORDER.-Thc Legislature c
South Carolina, in 1866, passed an act whereve
tenancies wcro at will, empowering any magia
ti ate to eject the tenant upon ten days notioe
unless it could be shown that the tenancy wa
either for years or under a written lease.
In these latter cases the old remedy was re
tained, which was upon the termination o
tho lease, or whore there was an express for
feiture for tho non-payment of rent, by th
verdict of magistrates and freeholders, upon i
regular trial.
General Canby, however, by a reoent order
has extonded the summary process of eject
ment provided for in the Act of 1866, to al
cases of tenancy, whether verbal or written, a
will, or for a term of years, whero the tenant
fails punctually to pay the rent.
The question yesterday was raised before
Judge Moses, whether General Canby's ordei
applied to cases arising before the order.
It will bo seen that Judge Moses, while hold?
ing that General Canby's order is not retro?
active, has, however, directed the ten days
notice to be given as of this day, and reserved
his decision until cause is then shown respon?
sive to this notice. The case ia as follows :
Some months since Magistrate Kanapaui
was solicited by Mrs. Frances Wilson to ejeel
from her promises Mr. Samuel Harris, undei
tho Act of I860, tor rent in arrear. Ten days
notice, under the act, was given by Mr. Kana
paux, but Mr. Harris denied his jurisdiction in
such cases, his tenancy being for a term, and
not at will, as contemplated by the-act, Mr,
Kanapaux deeming the causes shown insuffi?
cient, ordered the Sheriff to proceed. The
Sheriff was notified that if he acted ho would
havo to do so at his peril. Action in tho mattet
was thereby delayed, and in the meanwhile an
order was issued by General Canby, making the
act of 1866 applicable to all tenancies. On tine
the Sheriff was again about to proceed, whon a
suggestion in prohibition was filed in the Court
of Common Pleas, reciting the facts in the
oase, and praying that a writ of prohibition

following: A lot 2U feet front and tunning back
263, corner of Maine-street and Courthouse

A fourth lot, same dimensions, $2350. The lot

THE THEATRE.-The inclement weather pre?
vented many from attending the theatre last
ni*ht; bnt notwithstanding this drawback, the
actors performed their parts admirably. The
Little Treasure was greeted with considerable
applause, and the characters of Gertrude,
Lady Florence and Mrs. Middleton were well
sustained by Misses Alice Vane, Jenny Clifford
and Isabel Vane. Several prominent histrionic
characters are engaged, and will perform du?
ring this week. The theatre is the onlyplace
of amusement now open to the city, and
should be patronized by every one, as the
managers have spared no pains to make the
performances acceptable to the public.

RODUNDA ISLAND GUANO.
A Parc, Unmixed, Natural Guano, aa
Fine as Flour (although not Ground),
Just In thc Condition In which lt ii
Imported from the Island.
THIS GUANO IS FROM A RECENTLY DIS
COVi-REl? deposit on Rodunda Island, in the
Carribcau Sea, Webt Indies, latitude 10 degrees 66
minutes north, longitude 02 degrees 23 minutes
west.
It has been used for many years in the West India
Islands in the cultivation ol' Sugar Cane and cereals
with grout success; was introduced for the first time
to the tanners and planters of thu United States in
the spring of 1866. and lias met wLb unprecedented.
success, as the subjoined reports and testimonials tul?
ly corrob?rate.
The RODUNDA GUANO ia not a mineral phos?
phate, requirng thu action of tho Sulphuric Acid to
render lt soluble; its great power as u fertilizer is in
its cn tire solubility, without the sid of acid. It is
not a "manipulation" or Compound of t ish or Flesh
with Minorai Phosphates, the. regularity of which is
always uncertain and dependent upon, an'd controll?
ed by tho honesty ot the manufacturer. The RO?
DUNDA is a PURE NATURAL GUANO (that term
being understood tornean the excrement offish-eat?
ing birds), as the large por centago of organic mat?
ter sufficient'.y attests, and as found upon the Island
of Rodunda, in tho very state as imported and sold
to consumers.
Ihe regularity and uniformity of tho fineness and
condition of the various cargoes already imported by
us into the United States, tested by the analysis of
the most omincnt Chemists of this country and Eu
ropo, is sufficient proof of its origin and a guaran:ee
of our ability to mrnish this Guano of the quality
and purity represented.
The PRICE of the RODUNDA GUANO is not the
least unimportant in these days of agricultural com?
petition and pecuniary embarrassment
The very low price at which it can be sold places it
within the reach of every farmer, and avoids the risk
ot'large loss frequently incurred by failures of the
crops in the purchase, of high priced fertilizers.
In the preparation of lands for Wheat and other
cereals this Guano possesses properties that reeder
lt moro desirable for these crops than any yet oflerod
to the public.
Pamphlets containing the analysis and experi?
ments made bv the must prominent Chemists of this
country and in Europe, together with innumerable
certificates of its entire success 'irotn farmers and
planters, can be obtained at our Office, to which wo
invite attention.
Price $40 per lon, in bags or barrels, in Chai log
ton.
A liberal deduction made to dealers and purchas?
ers of large quantities.
