Various mern' bera of the present Wallacklan troupe will Join Mr. Dalt's company. -The London News has au article showing how some of Dickens's earlier works-such as ^Pickwick," or "Nicholas Nlckleby," or "Oil ?Ter TwlsV-are already becoming antiques, and that the readers of the next generation will find difficulty la comprehending the meaning of those unrivalled pictures of Lon' don life. The News thinks a Dickens con oordanoe will be necessary ina few years. -Apropos of the Alabama claims, the Pall Mall Gazette says: "We are informed that Admiral Brr Alexander Milne, G. C. B., who was naval commander-in-chief on the North American station, and Rear Admiral Dunlap, C. 6., who was second lu commuuu curing the civil war in the United States, have been of late in frequent consultation with ber Majesty's Gov? ernment on the cost which maybe supposed was Incurred bj the_American cruisers while = In search of the Alabama." -The Dally News understand tbat pending the arrangement of the misunderstanding re? lative to the Alabama case, no further steps will be taken with a view to Becure inter? national copyright between England and tbe United States. The arrangements for present? ing a memorial on the subject to Lord Gran ^ Tille had been nearly completed, and the me? morial Itself, which was characterized by a very friendly tone towards America, had re . oelved, lt Is said, the adhesion ol the leading authors of that country. -A pious Rhode Islander has blt upon the i happy thought of printing on the reverse of our national paper currency appropriate scriptural texts, such, for instaaoe, as that ' concerning the impossibility of simultaneous? ly serving God and mammon, or Paul's perti . ne nt remark, "save these bonds." Whether . these religious documents are Intended, like ordinary tracts, for gratuitous distribution among the poor, we are not informed; but if they be merely meant to follow tbs natural conne of exchange and revert to the Treasury Department, their new Indorsement ls not likely to lead to redemption, either pecuniary or psychological -The large clock at the English Parliament house ls the largest one in the world. The four dials of this clock are each twenty-two feet in diameter. Every half miaute the polat of the minute-hand moves nearly seven Inches. The clock will go eight and a half - days, but it only strikes seven and a half, thus Indicating any neglect In winding lt up. The mere winding up of the striking mechanism takes two hours. The pendulum ls fifteen feet long; the wheels are of cast-iron; the hour bell is eight ieet high and nine feet in diame? ter, weighing nearly fifteen tooB, and the hammer alone weighs nore than four hun? dred pounds. . -An irritating story of a bank-teller is BOW told in the newspapers. He had lived in Hartford, Connecticut, and having saved a good deal of money, retired, bought a fine - farm, stocked lt, and weat to live upon it like a financial Diocletian. The directors of his ' bank were so pleased that (hey voted him thanks and a money gratuity; whereupon he went to their next meeting and calmly inform? ed them that he had made his little pile by speculating with the fonds of the bank, and he also cautioned them lo keep a good look? out for his successor, who might not be so BUC cessfol as he had been. It is not probable that the directors considered these remarks to be either grateful or complimentary. -"Consortium" ls the latest speculative coinage of the New York Stock Exchange. There was an advance In Chicago and North? western common Btarea from 74| to 77$ on Monday, and in the early hours of the day it was reported that a "consortium'" had been formed In the slock, with a capital of sixty thousand shares, on the Eogiish "limited'' plan, and that the treasury of the "consorti? um" waa already in possession of thirty-five thousand shares, or a little more than one half of the total amount of stock which the "consortium" is limited to buy. The head? quarters of the Northwestern "consortium" are in William street, and lt is sail that Its operations have been Interfered with to some extent by the outside operations ol its mem? bers, who have purchased freely of Northwest to sell to the "consortium" when the price is run ap a little higher. -Detailed accounts of the recent railway disaster on the Louisville and Cincinnati Short-Line are at hand. The train c-ipftated into a creek by the breal bridge, and almost all the paeseng more or less seriously injured. f enough, out ol the sixty or more v hurt, only two died. The scene at t ed spot ls described as being harrowl extreme. When the crash occurred gineer Jumped from the locomotlv< down to the wreck and extingu? flrc3 with water scooped from tb Trna act undoubtedly prevented tl from being consumed and saved si lives. The most critical part of the succor lay in extricating the wound the wreck. Some of the wounded out and assisted others to do the same were so Involved with the broken tir the bridge and o? the cars and seats, t extrication was impossible, but all.' nobly, even those from whom frlghtfu tlons ol the face and body and shatter? forced painful outcries. The wound) carefully removed to a relief train a veyed to Covington, whew everythl could be devised to alleviate their p provided. The cause of the rupture bridge cannot yet be fully ascertained. The City ?nd tbe Road. We have endeavored, we hope sue ly, to demonstrate that it is indispens the growth, and to the existence, of C ton that the control of the South C Railroad should not pass away from t pie of the State. We have shown tl danger,of losing that control can c averted by causing a majority of the to be BO held that it cannot be bought large amounts, by afiy Railroad R speculative clique. And we have sub the reasons which lead us to the cone that the corporation of Charleston ca the city the needful safeguard and sei more surely and expeditiously than it i given by individual citizens. The City Government is the represec of the citizens in matters which affect as a commntity. There would be no ity in Charleston if it were left to groi citizens to organize their own police. } the streets be kept clean if every c 1 were required to act as bis own scave and no penalty nearer than a possible demie punished his neglect ? The inco the city Is spent for the benefit of a citizens, but what would the revenue ( city be if every citizen were allowed to d for himself how much he should pay the treasury? We do not assert tha regulation of a railroad and the regal of a Board of Health and a Fire Depart stand upon precisely the same footing; it is clear to us that, in any question w concerns the whole city and every pers it, corporate action, which ls united ac mnst be preferred. Assuming that it be pedient to expend a sum of money foi advantage of all the citizens, the city cause the burden to be divided amongst citizens according to their means, wh the procuring of the money be left to I viduals,. it will, if obtained in suffit amount, pres3 with unequal weight npoi feront persons. The city can assess a ta meet the interest upon money which it borrow, but where the funds for a pc object are collected from individuals, rc must contribute more than their shar compensate for the calculating delinque of those who furnish little or nothing, feel, therefore, that, if it be necessary.. ' several tb0u3a.ua aaainonar shares of Sc j Carolina Railroad stock shall beheld irre vably in Charleston, those shares can bet and more justly, be obtained by the cit: its corporate rapacity titan by isolated s scription. That it is held to be within the provine the City Government to subscribe to capital stock of railroad companies is she by the investments of Charleston in Memphis and Charleston, Nashville i Chattanooga, and Bine Ridge Railroo The subscription to the last named road n be wholly lost unless the Railroad Commit and the City Attorney take proceedings once, nader the resolution adopted by Coi eil, for the protection of the municipal terests. From the other investments of I city, no return, in the shape of additioi business with the West, has been obtain But the fault lies with the nature of the vestment, not with the principle which die ted it. There is all the diff?rence in I world between patting money into a conce at Nashville, or Memphis, or even at And> son, and patting money into a road whi has its terminas ia the city, and upon whi we depend for our commercial health a vigor. The practical business sense whi would condemn the one investment woe unhesitatingly approve of the other. Charleston, we know, is poor, and b a heavy debt An increase of debt is equi aient to aa iacrease of taxation, and we a taxed already heavily enough. It ma however, be wise for the city to pond whether it ls not better to enlarge taxati? in order to avoid far heavier - losses another form. Take away from Charlestc her main railroad, and the most valuab real estate in the city will soon becon worthless. AB the aggregate value of tl real and personal property decreases, tl rate of taxation mast be advanced. Th is what we have to look forward to, if v, allow the South Carolina Railroad to s)i through our fingers for fear of encounterin an additional charge of forty or fifty thot saud dollars a year. We hope, howevei that an increase of debt and taxation ma be avoided; although we are emphatically c opinion that it would be cheaper to add million to the city debt than to hazard th loss of many millions by permitting th South Carolina Railroad to be worked ad versely to the city. Charleston has valnabl assets which might be made use of in th present emergency. A transfer of securit; would not Injure persons who may hav claims upon the railroad stocks owned b; the city. And it cannot be deniet that five or ten thousand shares of Soutl Carolina Railroad stock would be infialteli more advantageous to Charleston than i like number of shares in a railroad companj ia the West. The South Carolina Railroad stock would offer equal prospects of benefil as a bare investment, and it would, in ad? dition, make the commercial position o Charleston absolutely impregnable. These subjects demand the serious consid? eration of the City Council Ia that bodj we have represeutatives of every class and interest. We say to them that this matter of the South Carolina Railroad is as urgent as any other business which can come before them, and we earnestly invite them to give it their immediate attention. THE i nAIXJL.IL The Blue Ridge Swindle. The Colombia Union attempts to gloss over tbe Blue Ridge swindle by asseverating that the Democratic press always counted the four million dollars of Blue Ridge bonds, endorsed by the State, as a part of the pub? lic debt. What IT they did? The event: shows that the Democratic press were right, and that the Radical politicians, from Slr. Chamberlain down, were wrong. Bat in no event contd the State be called on to pay the bonds until they fell due, even if their issne was legal, and they were lawfully used. The Radicals, however, step in and pay $1,800, 000 in bills receivable to release the State from a contingent liability of fonr millions, at a time when the public interest is unpaid and State bonds are selling at thirty cents on I the dollar. Not content with buying np the Blue Ridge bonds at Ave times their value, the Legislature have released the mortgage upon the Bine Ridge Road, which mortgage was the State's only security. They furnish the means of paying off the debts of the road, and turn it over, free of all encum? brance, to a Ring of unscrupulous specula? tors. This Blue Ridge bill was passed by the votes of the Radical members, and they are responsible for the swindle. The wriggling of Hie Union will not help them. NINETEEN thousand seven hundred and ninety-one acres of land, in Greenville County, are to be sold for taies on Tues? day next._ _ Thackeray-Thc "Crown Edition. Everybody, of course, has read Thackeray, but nobody until now has had an opportunity of enjoying the works of the great novelist as they ought to be enjoyed. The "Crown Edition"-ot which we have, in The Newcomes, the Initial volumes-ia a literary luxury which will be appreciated by every lover of Thacke? ray. Printed In fine large type, on tinted paper, the text is illustrated profusely by Doyle, In a style far superior to anything of the kind that has before been attempted la a popular edition. Eleven volumes, we believe, will complete the series, which is decidedly English in Us drees, though lt bears the im? print of Lipplncott, of Philadelphia. The Newcomes form volumes 1 and 2. which are handsomely bound in one, price $3 25. They may also be :had separately at $2 each. The "Crown Edition" !s for sale at Fogartie's Book Depository, and is well worth inspec? tiez, even by, those who may not intend to buy. _ A Naturalization Recoid. The bill which has been introduced in Con? gress for a record of naturalization in the Slate Department at Washington provides that the department shall keep a book in which all declarations of intention to become citizens and actual naturalizations shall he systematically entered and kept for reference, and that the process of naturalization eha'l In no case be complete until the entries have been made. All courts are required to for? ward tbe naturalization papers they issue to the S:ato Department for record, and the de? partment Is lo give certified copies ot natural? ization certificates to person? who may have lost them, and to publieh every year a Hst of all the naturalizations granted. The alleged necessity of this measure arises from the fre? quent loss of cet t?fica tes of naturalization and the imperfect manner in which the records of courts authorized to grant such certificates are kept,"ana ?rom the Ooo is of fraudulent naturalization papers which are issued in some ol the large cities Just before Important elec? tions. _; _ _ _ Current Literature. EDINBURGH REVIEW. January. 1872. Republi? cation: Leonard Scott Punishing Company. The present number ls very good.

Article 4, Tyler on Primitive Culture treats of one of the most interesting topics of science. Article 6 ls a Review of Crowe and Culvaselie and the History of Painting, and ls rather minute for the general reader. Article 6, on Railway Organization In the late war is, lt is to be hoped, one which will never have any practical interest again on this side of the waler. Article 7, Irish Uni? versity Education, is purely of local interest. Article 8, Grant's Central Provinces of India, will be found ol interest. Article 9, a favora? ble review of Browning's Balaustlon, ls not likely to be generally accepted as correct. Article 10, the Church, the Land and the Lib? erals, will furnish the kind of pleasure which every one feels In the troubles of his neigh? bors. THE ECLECTIC.
