After three working days and nights our roads are still almost as deep, in sand and rubble as they were on Thursday at noon; Zetland Street has been filled up, and in a few places artificial banks constructed to divert the streams into narrow courses, but no real, hearty "clear the roads at any cost" move has been made no effort anything like com mensurate with the magnitude of the task put forth, and we want to know the reason.

An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders of this Company, was held at noon, to-day, for the purpose of confirming five resolu tions passed at a meeting held a fortnight ago.

The Hon. P. Ryrie presided, and there were Pong, (directors) A. S. Cohen, F. Henderson, R. present-Mears. E. R. Belilion, F. Gomes, Poon B. Rustonjec, T. Amold (secretary) and a num

ber, of Chinese..

The Secretary having read the notice conven. ing the meeting,

The Chairman proposed the confirmation of the first resolution: That the Capital of the Company be increased to the sum of $1,600,000 by the issue of 40,000 New Shares of $20 each, which shall be fully paid up as hereinafter provided and that the Board be authorised to insuc such New Shares at a premium of $15 per Share, such premium to be paid as hereinafter provided.

Mr. Roza seconded, and it was confirmed accordingly.

Here occurred the most remarkable incident in the witness' cross-examination. Attorney General Webster quoted a statement made by Parnell in the Commons, during the debate on Forster's bill in 1881 suspending the writ of habeas corpus, to the effect that secret societies had then ceased to exist in Ireland.

"Did you believe that when you said it ?" asked the Attorney-General,

"No," replied Parnell; "at any rate it was r grossly exaggerated statement."

There was a buzz of surprise throughout the courtroom at this response..

Did you or did you not," continued the Attorney-General, "Intend to misstate the fact when you made that statement ?"

"I have no doubt that I did," was the reply. The Attorney-General-Deliberately? Pamell-Yes, deliberately,

The

Attorney-General-Youdeliberately made a statement knowing it to be untrue ?

Parnell-Yes, or if not untrue, very extravagant and boastful.

The Attorney-General-You have never since withdrawn it ?

Parnell No, I have not.

The nonchalance with which the witness made these admissions astonished the audience and

Mr. Gomes moved the third, which was as follows That all pienia on the said New Shares be carried to the Depreciation and Insurance Fund mentioned in Article No. 122 of the Company's Articles of Association," Mr. Henderson seconded. Confirmed, Mr. A. S. Cohen moved the fourth Article No. 90 of the Company's Articles of Association be altered by inserting therein in lieu of the words "Five Thousand Shares the wordsFifty Thousand Shares.'"

We know that the cooliès have shown a reluctance to work, except at greatly increased rates, that is one characteristic of the animal-but that was a difficulty easily superable.

There was a good deal more excuse then than now-great as has been the late calamity, there is no comparison between it and the catastrophe of fifteen years ago. We have not yet sounded the depth of Mr. Brown's skill, but we may mention that what the public require is not merely a man who knows all about "angles of repose" so much as a man who can figure out in twenty minutes just what is called for by the exigencies of the

In front of the old Salle des Menus, where the States General» meet, in low pavilion in red and gokh cloth was- erected and on the Avenue de Paris was a central: pavilion carpeted with red and furnished with gilt chairs covered with red velvet. The town was elegantly decorated. The sight-seers from Paris and elsewhere did not equal the population of Versailles, which is 50,000.

It rained in the morning, but when President Carnot arrived, escorted byn squadron ofcavalry, the sun shone fiercely. Carnot was well received, but without much enthusiasm, When the review began Camot came to the front of the pavilion with his Ministers and staff. Nearly from first to last there was no delay on the part of the soldiers, no halt and no mistake,

The Ecole Polytechnique headed the column, followed by boys from the garrison of Versailles engineers, chasseurs, line regiments, artillery, light horse and cuirassiers. The marching of these troops, which were not picked men, was good, all to quick or double-quick time, with trumpets and drums hard at work. Carnot did not return the salutes with that grace and preci- sion which marks,military men, but he was the central figure of the scene which for half an hour. was really brilliant. After the review the Pre- sident and notables repaired to a place beyond the Place des Armes and there held his modest court and made his modest speech. Then the company broke up. "

WASHINGTON, May 3rd. Irving M. Scott was at the Navy Department to day and told Secretary Tracy that the Charleston would be ready to leave the yard at San Francisco for her trial trip by Tuesday next. It is expected that the trial will prove successful A naval engineer who bas examined her machinery says it is of the highest order. The Japanese man-of-war after which the Charleston is modeled was not accepted until after she had been given twenty-one trials, though she is now pronounced one of the best warships afloat; and if the Charleston proves successful on the first trial, the result cannot but be of great benefit to the shipbuilders of the Pacific coast.

There is a hint that but for the clause of the act compelling the building of Charleston upon the Pacific coast the contract for her construc tion would have been given to the Cramps of Philadelphia, as Secretary Whitney was deci dedly partial to that particular firm, but if all the rumors about the department are true the vestels completed in the City of Brotherly Love have not been done according to contract.
