JOURNETS OF THE STOICS.

Great Men in the Toils o2 Fashionafol© Patrons. [|1Y Sill UKIIUCIH I.KKi. | Stoicism has existed from the earliest period of history. It spread from (I recce to Homo ; there it took root and flourished. The imrao h:is died out from amongst us, but the philosophy still exists. There arc yet men of distinguished ability and renown who insist on the .sole importance of virtue—tho brotherhood of all mankind—whoso funda mental belief in in (iod and providence; who say, "I do my duty: other things trouble me not;" who strive earnestly throughout life to act up to those principles. Sometimes the brightnosa of tho character of tho Stoic is a little clouded by pride, fre quently it becomes distasteful to others from its oxelusivenoss, whilst amongst these blemishes there is often a simplicity and innocence of tlio ways of the world about tho Stoic which give a peculiar charm to much that ho says or docs. It is easy to see that a philosopher of in tellect holding such views, carrying (hem into practice, defending them with ability, and holding a high place in literature, becomes before long a person of much note in the higher circles of a great metropolis. He is .soon sought after by tho great leaders of society, who hardly think their entertain ments complete unless he is amongst, their guests, and this naturally, for his elm me ter and position in the literary world reflect a lustre upon his host or hostess. Many imagine that vast changes in the relation of man to man aro taking place with ceaseless rapidity in the world. Let us test the truth of such an opinion : and as tho belief of the Stoics has varied bill little, and the character which grows out of such a belief must consequently be thought probably to have altered but littlo in tho course of time, let us make tho interesting inquiry what changes lrive taken place in the relation of Stoics to their patrons, and of those patrons to the .Stoics, in the course of a long interval of time—say some lifteen or sixteen hundred years.

If this inquiry is directed to the journeys of Stoics with their patrons, we fortunately have ample materials at our disposal for pronouncing a judgment on this subject. Luciau, born ibout A. I). 140, hasleftusa very interesting description of a journey made by a friend of his, a Stoic philosopher, with a lady under whoso patronage he made this short tour, whilst in our own time the justly most celebrated Stoic philosopher of this century has left behind him a most complete and picturesque narrative of a similar short tour which he made with a lady patroness to whoso suite ho was at tached. We shall see what similarities and differences existed in their experiences.

Lucian, in his narrative (see amongst other narratives of this tour the Key. W. L. Collins's Lucian), gives fair warning to tho Stoics of the ills that may befall them if they, quitting their true position of inde pendence, aro led to follow patrons occupy ing a distinguished position in society. In client he warns them somewhat in this way : Take care that they do not look upon you merely as a useful appendage to their greatness and position in the world ; whilst you, tho philosopher, regard tho station you have attained in society as a just recogni tion of tho rights of genius.

You will find it dillicult in such a society to please, if you preserve a grave ami tlig nilied demeanour. You may be called churlish and morose ; if you, n renowned philosopher, try to be gay and put on a laughing, merry face, the company may too probably only stare and laugh at you. Be as sured that your introduction into an elevated society, in which you never have been accustomed to move, and for which your education and habits have not littcd you, is likely to lead to slights and petty neglects to which you may bo indifferent or hardly conscious of : thus your simplicity of char actor may lead you on stop by step in a career which is likely to end in embarrass ment and mystification.

But boar in mind that if your lifo in town amongst great people is likely to load yon into such difficulties, it is likely to bo much worse if you are led to travel with your patrons into the country, where you will be wholly at their inoroy. But, by-thebye, above all things tako euro not to become the follower of some great lady, for ladies are much more dangerous than men. She, with tears in her eyes, can appeal to tlie known kindness of most of the Stoics, and ask you, as a per sonal favour, to do something you feel to be at variance with your position, and how can yourefuscher ? Ifyoutravclwithsuch alady, rely upon it, she will, under some excuse, draw you into the same litter with her cook and her lady's maid, and witli some gentleman follower of hers, perhaps himself a polished and learned man, deserving of the highest consideration, but who may be irritating or sarcastic—a nieo party, maids and all, for a groat Stoic philosopher to bo jumbled up with. I entreat you after this warning not to be led into a lino of life which must be so com pletely repugnant to any man of indepen dent spirit, and if you will deliberately go into such society after this warning, do not afterwards rail at your fate, as many do, but remember the words of Plato, " Heaven is blameless, the fault lies in your own choice."

Lucian, to prove the probable accuracy of his warnings, relates the actual misfortunes which befell a Stoic philosopher, an ac quaintance of his. This unhappy man, having fallen under the influence of a rich Roman lady, was persuaded by her to make an excursion in her society from the metropolis into the country. On joining the party, ho found himself excluded from the litter in which sat or lay the great lady, a litter no doubt corresponding to her wealth and rank ; this ahe required for herself, and she insisted that the philosopher should take his seat in another litter —doubtless that of the maids ttlludcd to, and in which there sat a strange gentleman, who was also travelling in this great lady's suite. Before they started, the lady, whose per fection of politeness, and whoso cheery voice and light address would have' be fooled any simple Stoic, called the philoso pher to her, saying: "We know how un selfish and benevolent you Stoics are. Now my maids give themselves no real trouble about their mistress ; if they treat mo so, how would they treat this clear little dog of mine V Abhor laying her in your lap for me, wrap her up in your cloak, and, as she is not woll, and her accouchement may take place in a day or two, show tho real benevb lenceof your heart, There, take her." And the grave and dignified philosopher, forcod into such society, took his seat in the litter ho was sent to, and, with his face and hands belicked. by a dirty little poodle, wont forth upon his most uncomfortable journey, yet doubtless admitting in his heart that the great lady was very good, and bore all tho difficulties and disappointments arising from the neglect of her servants and tho discomforts of the journey, with an ad mirable equanimity and magnanimity, which encouraged him to bear with like spirit the discomforts he was to undergo. An example of patience set by a great souled lady has a wonderful influence on men.

Let us now select a Stoic from the present age, and inquire what his position in our present highly-boastcd-of state of civilisa tion might becomo under such circum stances as Lucian alludes to, and surely no grander examplo of a modern Stoic can bo taken than Carlylo—a man whose innate greatness, dignity of character, grandeur of expression, and tvuo nobility of every thought, were most fully appreciated by those who knew him betjt, and therefore felt the strongest affection for him, Such

a man as that would, doubtless, under all I circumstances, faro very dillorently from . the ancient Stoics.

Carlylo, early in his career, wrote at times boldly his thoughts regarding Hie aristo cratic classes in England, anil these were frequently far from Haltering. Js'or ex ample: "What are tho nobles doing? asked Carlylo a generation ago. " t'rescrv in" their game," was his answer. Ihon iv'kin he asked one of tho questions which our great landholders ho often propose : "Cannot wo do what we like with our own V" and his answer was, "Yes, indeed, if I could melt Gossip llock, and create laws of gravitation ; if I could stride nut lo the Dogger bank, and striking down my trident tiieio into the mild waves, say, ' l'.e land, be liclds, meadows, mountains, and fresh rolling streams ; by heaven ! 1 should incline to have tho letting of that land in perpetuity, and sell the wheat of it, or burn the wheat of it, according to my good judg ment.'1

As ho advanced in years his views, how ever, under soft influences, somewhat changed ; he wrote—

Vol. -', p. KSS, I*', 100.

"By this time wo were setting noticed by select individuals of the aristocracy, and wore what, is called 'rather rising in society.' Ambition that May my .lane never had. Hut she lock it always as an honour done to me, mul had her various bits of satisfaction in it. The Spring Rices (Lords Mounteaglo afterwards) were pro bably the lirst of their class that over asked mo out. as a distinguished thing. I remember their flunkey arriving here while we were at dinner : I remember, too their soiree itself in .Downingsl reel, and tho hiloi and Imliu (as 1 called them) with their state and ellulgonees, as some thing new and entertaining to me. The Stanleys (of Aldorley), through tho Unlloiv, we had lons' since known, and .still know ; but that, "I suppose, was Ptill mostly theoretic,- or, perhaps, 1 had dined there, and seen the Hollands (Lord an-1 Lady), tho etc. (as 1 certainly did ultimately), but not been judged eligible. To me, I can recol lect (except what of snob ambition there might be in me, which 1 hope was mil very mnch, though for certain it was not quite wanting either) there was nothing of charm in any of them ; old Lady Holland 1 viewed even with aversion, as a kind of hungry, 'ornamented witch,' looking over at me with merely carnivorous views (and always questioning her Dr. Allen when 1 said any thing) ; nor was it till yours after husband, Allen, etc., all dead, that 1 discovered remains of beauty in her, a pathetic situa tion, ami distinguished qualities. Jly.lane, I think, knew still less of her : in her house neither my -lane nor I ever was. ■•On the whole, that, ton (intimacy with the aristocracy), was a thing to be gone through in our career, ami it had it* bits of benefit, bits of instruction, So., &c, but also ils tempt itions, intricacies, tendencies to vanity, i!fcc. ; to waste of timoand faculties -. and in a better sphero of arrangement would have been 'a gamo not worth tho candle.' Certain of the aristocracy, however, did seem to me still very noble, and, with due limitation of the grossly worthless (none of whom we have to do with), 1 should vote at present that, of classes known ti me in England, tho aristocracy (with its perfect ion of human politeness, its continual grace of brains and of actions, stedfast 'honour,' light address, and cheery Stoicism), it you see well into it, is actually the best of Eng lish classes. I'ocp in it we never were, promenader* on the shore rather ; but I have known it, 100, and formed deliberate judgment as above.'1 Thus, step by Ktop had Carlylo incau tiously gone wandering from the paths of puro Stoicism in which he at lirst walked, and, forgetful of tho warnings of the faithful Lueiaii, approached tho-e steps which lead down to journeys crammed into the same litters with ladies' maids and cook maids, and to unseemly disasters. Surely the great man will yet keep clear of tho shoals and quicksmiis which have been so clearly marked out for him by a friendly writer. Bewildered by tiie fascination* of great ladies in tho metro polis he may ho, but in journeys with them to country towns he will not trust himself.

Alas1 too credulous man: he consented to depart from tho metropolis in tho suite of a lady, on a journey to Edinburgh, and it was his destiny to bo melted down and well smoked in tho crucible of sullering, and to give another example and warning of that simplicity and innocence of character for which tho really admirable Stoics have ever been so remarkable. Let him tull his own tale.

Vol. 2, p. 'M. "In July, 15.")6, soon after, may have been about middle of month, wo went to Edinburgh ; a blazing day, full of dust and tumult, which 1 still very well remombcr. Lady \V had got for herself a grand Queen's saloon, or nc plus ultra of railway carriagos (made for the Queen .some time before), costing no end of money. Lady sat or lay-in the saloon. A common six feet carriage, immediately contiguous, was ac cessible for suite. In this the lady had in sisted we should sido with her doctor and her maitl; a moro partition with a door dividing us from her ; the lady was very good, chcorful, though much unwell ; bore all hor difficulties and disappointments with an admirable equanimity and magna nimity ; but it wus physically almost the uncomfurlablcsl journey I ever math. "At Peterborough, the ncplus ultra was found to have its axlctrcc on fire ; at every station afterwards buckets were copiously dashed and poured (the magnanimous lady saying never a syllable to it), and at New castlo°on-Tyne she flung tho humbug no.plus away altogether, and our whole party into common carriage. Apart from the burning axle, we had Buffered much from dust ami cold from foul air, so that at last I got the door opened, and sat with my head stretched out backward into the wind. This had alarmed my poor wife, lost, I should tumble out altogether, and she angrily forbade it— dear loving woman —and 1 complied, not at first knowing why she was angry. This and Lady A's opening her door to toll us ' Here is iiinchinbrook !' (a long time before and with something of pathos traceable in her clrcarv voice) arc near/;/ all iliat I now remember of the base mid dirty hurly-burly, Lord A. had preceded by some days, and was waiting for our train at Edinburgh, 9.150 p.m. ; burly burly greater and dirtier than ever. They went to Barry's Hotel at once, servants ami all: no time to inform us (officially) that we, too, wax /heir guents. But that, too, paused well. Wo ordered apartments, refreshments of our own there (first of all baths ; inside of my shirt-collar was as black as ink), and before tho refresh ments were ready, wo had a gay and cordial invitation, &c, &c, found tho 'old bear' (Ellis, in their rooms, I remember, and Lord A., and lie, with a groat deal to say about Edinburgh and its peoplo) a phenomenon. Noxt morning tho Ashburtons went for Kinbos.li —Linehart (tino hunting seat in Eoss-shirc); and my dear little woman to her cousins at Auchtertool, where I remem ber sho was much soothed by their kindness, and improved considerably in health forthc time."

At least, in one respect, Carlylo, smutted and dirtied though he might bo, was happier than Lucian's Stoic friend— for this latter philosopher, in whose lap, wrapped up in a cloak, had travelled the Roman lord's poodle, licking and yelping as they went—being at the end of the journey ■ carefully unrolled, the horrified Stoic found in his cloak a Utter of dear little puppies added to tho mother, with whom alone he had started. Then to his mortification, the satirical and irritating strange gentleman beside whom ho had been seated, said to him as he left the litter, playing upon the Greek word for dog, " (!ood-byo, my friend, but pray, for the future, drop tho name of Stoic, and call yourself a cynic philosopher, Adiou! adieu 1" ,

The action is the same, the accessories which surround it and accompany it. vary. The lirst of these two things belongs to un varying human action, the. latter to tinl race, tho age, and the climate. Tho cen tral figures in action arc still human forms, Uio motives of action are still human pride and feelings; tho dress, tho equippagc, the manners have alone varied with the times : a human band still delivers a blow, and a human heart, pulsates and writhes beneath it. Thus il. is. 'iho accessories alone vary. In each, of the two eases there was a true Stoic philosopher—a sweot and gentle assurance, i graceful, winning. In each caso a beguiled Stoic, led astray by aristocratic suavities, turned under temptation from tho strict principles of his creed; and disaster over took him. Doubtless, in each case, the real , nobility of soul and greatness of tho char acter of each of thtso men remained un- i soiled ; yet, in tho one case, a beloved wife was angered, and a great philosopher was taken, wearied, dirty, ashamed, from a rail- J way carriage to a very necessary bath ; in . the other, a naturally dignified philosopher was left, sitting, sluunefacod, in a litter, with i a heap of puppies in his lap. 0.

Wanted -A Diamond Ring.

1 >.\v it kicked by the careless Balmorals of a jaunty nurse ; I saw a fat morsel of j humanity make for it with a hey, broken into divers hcy-eyoys by pudgy trotting: and 1 stooped and secured il, thereby causing the fat one to pull up short, stare at, mi: with two black currants stuck In a dreary expanse of (lough, insert a i dumpy thumb in an orifice of the samo | expanse, and back again with that solid I resignation under disappointment which is I the peculiar at tribute of the London infant population. I laving iiHCortnined the nature | nf my prize, 1 proceeded to meditate on the proper course lo bo taken, which medita tion'resulted in Iho following advertise ment": - a/tOI'M*, this livening (Wednesday), in 1 l!i'Kcnt.'s I'iu-Ic. nearly oppoßile tin- New CiilleL-e a valuable Diaiiumil Kiiiß. The invner may have il liy calllnK at No. I 1.), Wilton IMace, Kr. Before noon on Iho following day I was making my most cautious bow to a vener able-looking old gentleman, whose white hairs and benevolent smile added a double charm lo the grace with which ho stepped forward, and, waiving ceremony, extended bis hand, saying : " \, on have taken a weighl from my mind, my young hiend, and must allow me to thank you." The insinuating delicacy of the adjective (I am not morn than forty-live) was per hap-, not without itsetlcct. I accepted the ollered pledge of-amity in respectful silence. •' A young man, continued the patriarch, '■may possibly find it dillicuU to understand how the loss of a trinket can be a source of posith c sullering to an old one, but—J am alluding to my lost rii.g—there are associa tions connected with it which, ahem ' This is childish yon will excuse my emotion.'1 I bowed profoundly in the presence of this natural agitation. " I have passed some hours of- sleepless ness and distress, from which you have been the means ol relieving me. 1 feel deeply indebted to you. Then: remains not hiu" now hut lo reimburse you for—a ■ Hero (ho old gentleman drew forth his purse, and proceeded lo unclasp it. " Excuse me, Mr," I stammered, rather hurriedly, " but if the ring is yours, you can doubtless desciibc the armorial hear ings. ' •'Armorial bearings, sir?" repeated the old gentleman, sternly; "do not attempt to play tricks with me, young man. I will point out to you directly " " I beg your pardon," said J. drawing back from the outstretched hand; "but, as the ring in my possession is assuredly engraved with a crest and motto, 1 conclude it cannot bo the one you are in search of." The old gentleman eyed me for a moment keenly, "lam afraid you aro right," ho sighed, in a torn; of deep dejection. " 1 must seel; further. Alas ! what a melan choly lerminalion'to my hopeful journey.'1 I made no attempt to detain my venerable friend; but, as he turned, lam certain 1 saw beneath thu silver hairs a lock of dark shining brown. .My next visiior was a lady extensively got up, of imposing height and carriage, rouged, scented, spectacled. " We meet under very singular circum stances," began this lady, with condescend ing haughtiness. "I am tho principal of a college for young ladies." With a deferen tial acknowledgment of tho honour done me, I begged to know what had procured it. "In the hours of recreation we aro ac customed to promenade in tho park -a delightful spot, so suggestive of tho blush ing country : during our ramble of yester d.-iy, a young lady under my charge was unfortunate enough to loose herring. You, sir, arc tho fortunato finder." " 1 certaintly did, madam, pick up a ring V -"' "Ah! how grateful my dear pupil will be at beholding it again," exclaimed the teacher of youth, clasping her hands ecstatically. " May 1 trouble you to describe tho ring ?" " Describe it! A diamond ring, sir— handsome and massive, but plain," " And tho crest?"■ "Tho, crest: Ah! that my young charge were witli me ! Stupid ! to have forgotten. The crest of tho Doloraincs. Is it a lion passant or?—No: 1 nra wrong. Unfortunate, that sho should bo too unwell to accompany mo ! But it is immaterial; I will take it for her inspection—sho will bo able to recognise it at once." "I fear, madam, that I should scarcely bo justified " "Sir!" " 1 feel it my duty,'" 1 said (irmly, " under the circumstances, to take overy precaution against mistakes. I trust tho lady is not too seriously indisposed to givo you the.necessary description." " Very well, sir ! Exceedingly well! It is I who have been mistaken. 1 fancied— yes, actually fancied— that 1 was speaking to a gontleman ! You will find, sir, to your ; cost, that tho lady principal of a college is ■ not to bo insulted with impunity ; 1 wish you a good morning." Very harrowing this. I nm scarcely re covered from tho lady principal when there is a dash of wheels to tho door, and a young fellow, Hinging the reins to a groom in livery, springs" up tho steps to the door bell. "Oh, dash it!" he begins, breathing out a volume of stale tobacco, " I beg your pardon, and that ; but the old woman—dash it! I moan my mother—told me I should find my ring here, so I ordered out the vessel, and the nats, and spun along liko ninepencp for it!" " 1 shall be vory glad to restore the ring I was unfortunate enough to find when 1 can discover the owner." " Discover ! Dash it, didn't 1 toll you it's mine ? I say, I wish you wouldn't be so precious slow I don't want tho cats to catch cold; I've been to have them sham pooed and napthaed and that." " What sort of a ring was yours." "What sort? oh, come, as if you didn't know—that's good." I intimated that 1 should bo glad to find out if ho knew. "Not know my own ring, oh! 1 know it's worth a 'couple o' ponies ; come, let's hear tho damages, and I'll stump up.'' " You can describe tho device-V" " Device, eh ? What, the governor's ? Bless you, he has a device for every hour in the day to do mo out of my rightful al lowance. Device 1 Oh, come, yon don't expect me do tho heraldic dodge, clash it !" " I cannot givo up tho ring uniemt you describe it,"

" Oh, dash it ! don't clinfl*a follow now. , 1 .shouldn't care a rap about, tho thing, only it belonged to some dofunct party, and the governor'd cut up so awfully rough. , I've got heaps of them. Come, I'll swop you any of those for it, because of the go vernor." . I respectfully declined tho proposal. : " Well, dash it, !" exclaimed the young fellow, as though struck with a sudden ! idea, " what a couple of mull's we are ! Why don't you show the thing, I could tell in a minute if its mine, dash it !" i I replied that I was very sorry f could not , oblige him, and, adding that he had bolter p obtain an exact description of the " thing" : from his governor, I recommended him not, to keep the cats any longer In the cold. Mom.—l am getting exceedingly tired of my treasure-trove. I retire to my room j with a view nf dressing to go out. I am informed that a lady wishes to sec mo, and . J am afraid my mental ejaculation was not j complimentary to the lady in question. ! A Iflll, graceful figure, draped in heavy I mourning, rises at my entrance. Sho opens ' tho negotiation in some confusion, turning | away her face. Sho has come to me in the • hope: of regaining a ring, carelessly lost, the j parting gilt of a fond father to her brother j and herself. My eye rests on the crape about hor dress, i on her pale beautiful face, from which the | blush of confusion and timidity has faded. Deferentially 1 request her to describe it. " A largo diamond, handsome nhc be liovoil, but vuhiablo to her for far other reasons." "Hut," I said gently, "chased on the gold inside tho ring there is " "A crest — 1 am aware of it," she | answered sadly; " but 1 know nothing of heraldry, and have never given it more than a casual glance. My brother is dying, sir," she said, lifting up her pale face to mine. "Only this morning he missed tho ring I from my linger uneasily ; wo arc alone in j world : it is the only relic left of one .-o | lately taken from us, how can I tell him it is lost ':'' ■' I am sorry to pain you," I said, striving to he linn ; " but it would lie more satisfactory for all parties, and cause but little delay, if you could obtain the de scription from your brother. ' Without a word she turned away : the mournful resignation of her air and atti tude touched me, and as she turned I saw a tear roll silently down her check and fall upon tho blind stretched out to the door handle. 1 couldn't stand that. " Stop '" I exclaimed, "one moment. 1 am sure—l feel certain I may trust you. Yon will toll me -- " I (jiko the ring from its security. I hold it out timidly for the blue eyes to examine. I hcO yet the look of delight overspread her lino features. I sec the expression of almost childish pleasure ir; her eyes, as sho looked up at mo, as she clasped her hands and cried out : "The ring, Iho ring! oh, Alfred, my dear In-other !' Her hand was upon it"; such a tremulous, happy eagerness in her glance; such a caressing fondness in her way of lingering if. How- pretty she was. •' .My dear child " (I am forty-live) "it gives mc stneoro ploasure ." Then I slammer, then I spring after her. "At least you will leave your address with lnor' What a look shades her face now ! Wounded integrity mingled with pity for me. "Ah, sir, "she says, sadly, handing mo the card on which she had been pencilling, " some day yon will be sorry lor this. You do not trust mo." Certainly, 1 am a brute. The accent of reproach in her voice haunts me; the sorrow ful glance <>f her eye—how pretty she is. I sit down to my breakfast in tho morning, half inclined to call at tho address given, and apologise for my hentlionUh dis trust. But my letters wait, I toy with them. This is a hand 1 know.

MILNER STEPHEN OUTDONE.

Devils Expelled Ax extraordinary novelty has lately been introduced into a religious organisation, the Christian Crusaders, who hold forth in Adelaide. The additional excitement, is in the shape of an individual named Wood, who alleges that ho has received commission from the Deity to heal the sick, and to make the lame walk, by the laying on of his hands. His niodiin oparunai is somowhat peculiar. After the conclusion of the .service, which is of the Salvation Army character, Wood retires to a privato room, and people of overy sort and condition arc requested by the Key. A. Turnbull, who acts as Wood's aide-de-camp, to ascend the platform. Immediately a long procession lilo up and testify to cures which have been performed upon thorn. This feature being over, persons among tho audience who suppose themselves suffering from diseases come up and aro ordered into Wood's room. There the gifted one works them up to a high pitch of religious excitement, and while they aro in this condition Wood starts a prayor, places his hand on tho patient's head, strokes him or her down tho body to tho feet, and says the person is cured, and that the devil who had previously taken up liis abode, in tho patient's body has made its exit. It was stated at tho meeting that he has already operated, on a barmaid, and cured her of an ulcer in her throat. The directress of a hydropathic establishment atiirmed thnt she haa bean absolutely cured of.heart disease, from which she suffered for twonty years; while another interesting creature, a negro, said he was cured of a severe acute disease, but he became angry and lost his temper with another fellow, and the disoaso returned ! Ho had prayed to the Lord to heal him once more, but no far without success. ]n the evening, however, he saw Wood, and Wood was merciful and stroked him down, and tho complaint "lapsed into the infinite." On Tuesday night a roportor desired to be present during tho healing process ; but as he has not embraced the faith, Wood re fused to admit him. Tho " curer "is an il literate, uneducated man of very harmless appearance.

French Navigable Water-Ways.

Therk aro in France 4,570 miles of navi gable rivers, as against 4,190 miles in 1852, and there arc also -,900 miles of canals, as a gainst 2,440 miles in 1552. This.shows an in crease in rivers of 355 miles and in canals an! increase of 400 miles. But the increases were enormously expensive. Between 1852 and IS7S the outlay for them was nearly £14,000,000, and since IS7S it has been about £5,000,000 additional. Meanwhile the quantity of freight carried by water has increased only 1,000,000 tons.
