    Daniel Manin. (Abridgedfrom The ' Conrvi...

    Bandro ' Zanetti , the artist . "It was in that humble retreat that the future President of the Venetian Republic dared to dream of his country ' s emancipation . His life was passed in combating the oppressors of his country . Cast into the State prison , he was restored to liberty by the very magistrates who had condemned him , compelled to yield to the public feeling unequivo- cally pronounced in his behalf . It was characteristic of Mania that he , declined to leave the prison without a written order from the authorities who had arrested him . Such was his desire to convict his persecutors by their own hands , and at the same time to teacti the people he was destined to govern respect for the law . His political motto was , Neither apathy nor violence . The mo-deration of this ruling principle was no sign of lack of courage : few men have possessed all kinds of courage in an equal degree—the courage of the soldier , which he displayed in many stormy passages , and the rarer and more perilous courage of the citizen . Man in was endowed with qualities very seldom united in one man : the enthusiasm of the popular leader , and the conduct and prudence of the practical statesman . His countenance , open and full of sympathy , and the grace , simplicity , and penetrating energy of its expression , the natural dignity of his mien and manners , belonged to one of the chosen leaders of mankind . To the Venetians he appeared invested with an almost religious influence i the ascendancy he exercised was due to no unworthy pandering to popular prejudices and passions , but to the force of his character and-to the unsullied virtue of his life . In the heroic defence and equally heroic capitulation of Venice he extorted admiration and respect even from his enemies . All the world knows in what the republicanism of Manin was distinguished from that of his felloAv patriots : he tons the soul of tliatparty to wfiich belong all the republicans icho love Italy better than ' the republic ? and all the royalists who lave Italy better than a dynasty . Manin has died in exile . His death was hastened by a double bereavement , thedeath of his wife and of his darling daughter . In his exile he had conciliated the esteem and the sympathy , not only of the ardent friends of thecaure he so nobly * served , but even of its most inveterate adversaries , as the names of those who deemed it an honour to be admitted to his humble exile ' s home sufficiently attest . Men attached to fallen dynasties , sincere republicans , adherents of the ruling powers , were proud to pay court to that sorrow Among many others we may name M . 'Thiers and M . Airy Scbeffer , who painted for Manin two portraits of his daughter Emilia : one in life , and one in death . : Mania ' s . health had long been failing ; his nearest find dearest friends—General Ulloa ; ' that hero of childlike sinrplicity of soul ; Degli Aritoiii , the type of chivalrous devotion ; and a host of others—watched with sad anxiety the ravages of suffering and grief . But such was the serenity of Manin , his tranquil " courage , and gently ismiling fortitude of spirit , that it was not easy to believe ihathis life was in immediate danger . . . . For some weeks past Manin could scarcely ' speak , and never left the : house . His physicians had almost forbidden his friends to visit him , and had strictly forbidden them to converse with the illustrious patient on subjects likely to , excite emotion . ' But a few days since , a letttr from Turin' vras read , ' in . which the increase of Maiiin ' s influence In Italy was'ttventiotted / and " the ^ flherefice '^ f one of the most distinguished writers , Who had formerly been a decided opponent , was alluded to . 'Manin was moved to tears by the tidings , and exclairrted , " We were only two when we began , and now we arc ' 'legion . " ' The effects of the emotion he displayed on ' this occasion alarmed his friends to such a degree , ' that they foi'ebore from speaking further on the subject of which " his ' hea ' was full . ' .- •>• . ¦; ' : ¦ ' ( ¦¦ ¦¦¦'¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ ¦ _ ¦ ¦ ' •¦'¦ ' ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ Of late his sufferings had been extreme , arid" his sleepless nights were racked with agony . Two days before his death the pain was intense beyond endurance , but Manin : bore all with uncomplaining heroism , The night before his death he was unusually free from paid , alid for the first time for many weeks "he " enjoyed a brief respite of sleep . In the- morning h e' expressed h sense of relief , arid conversed with his son and with a few most intimate friends with a fulness , ' a serenity ; a . warnft ' th , a ^ t ol « * % ^ to ^ d mM \ s * r » flf X 4 * .

    j \ | " Wednesday his remains were embalmed by his countryman , Doctor Falconi , and on Tuesday last Ary ! Scheffer painted his beloved friend's face as it looked hi the last repose . The funeral took place at noon on Thursday . More than 1500 persons followed his coffin to the Montmartre cemetery . The pall-bearers were General Ulloa ; M . Pinchel , formerly Finance Minister of the Venetian Republic ; M . Degli Antoni , one of Manin ' s oldest friends ; and Ary Scheffer , the distinj guished painter . Among the followers were General Dembinski , M . Montanelli , a nwrnber of Italian and Hungarian refugees , M . Legouvc ' , of the French Academy ; M . Levasseur , who was Consul of France at Venice during Manin ' s government ; and a great many literary men and journalists , French and foreign . Th « corpse wa s placed in the family vault of Ary Scheffer , where the remains of Manin ' s daughter already repese . Although Manin was not a large mini , the niche of the vault in which his coffin was to be placed was found to be too narrow , and the masons had to enlarge it , which took nearly an hour , during which the corte ' r / e waited in the neighbourhood of the tomb . Everything passed off quite quietly . Certain precautions had been taken by the police , and M . Manin , the son of the deceased , was warned that no speech must be mnde , and that his presence in Paris would be no longer permitted if this order were disobeyed . It was , of course , duly observed . The feeling of regret ( writes the correspondent of the Times ) for the untimely death of Daniel Manin is very general here , not only amongst those who share his opinions iin < L admire his political life , but amongst all who enjoyed his acquaintance , and had had opportunities of appreciating his many excellent qualities , his amiable character , his agreeable and intellectual-conversation , and the cheerfulness and dignity with which he supported his reverses and exile .

    . " \ V ~ e ( of the Leader " ) , who knew Daniel Maniu well and intimately , and who were admitted to the inestiinable privilege of his confidence and friendship , have not the courage this week to speak , as we shall speak , of his great example . IVe have sometimes b « en accused , by the random malevolence , or the wanton ignorance of hostile and foreign journals , of writing under the influence of : refugees .: Nay , this journal has been said to be written ftyrefugees ! Those who know us t > est , know best the sheer absurdity of this stale and idle falsehood . There is , we dare , affirm , no journal . in this country ^ not oulj' more free from Jiny- foreign taint , , but ;> ve , ji ! ay ; vadW . more absolutely English initai-character and personnel , than the 'Leader :- ^ Vfe : have never wavered hi our sympatliy witli the ' cause of liberty arid justice , because that sacred cause . ; has been under a cloud of failure and . disappointment j we have never worshipped the idols of success ; we have respected the sufferings , " andi'Ofte-ft shared the aspirations , of those-whom political tempests have cast ori the strand of exile ; but' it was because our sympathy was independent ,, bur language . moderate , pur respect for all honest opinions sincere , and our own principles , equally removed from violence and servility , that we have alienated , perhapsj ihe patronage of the corrupt , and the confidence of fanatics ' arid" charlatans , hat . have ,, enjoyed , the respect ^ and rejoiced in the friendship of mon so pure , of heart , so generous in spirit , so inilexible ^ hi principle , as Daniel Manin , to whose memory the Leader will prove neither ungrateful'nor unfaithful . ; '

Notwithstanding that the preferential and loan capital constituted 43 per cent , of the whole of the railway capital raised to the end of 1856 , and that tie interest payable on this , owing to the state of the money-market , was higher than during any former period , the percentage having "been 5 . 08 against an average of 4 . 72 for the preceding seven years , the average rate of dividend available for the ordina ry share capital was 3 . 12 peT cent ., being equal to that of 1855 and considerably higher than the average of the preceding seven years , which was 2 . 59 . In 1854 , however , the rate was as high as 3 . 39 . The period of extravagant outlay , however , was prior to 1849 , the ' average cost of lines constructed since that period having been only 95682 . per mile . The working expenses last year experienced an increase of 1 per cent , ia England , and a diminution of 2 per cent , in Scotland and Ireland , the average being 47 per cent , as compared with 48 per cent , in 1855 . The development of the goods traffic has gone on upon a rapid ratio , and its proportion to the passenger traffic is now 53 to 47 per cent ., whereas eight years ago it was only 44 to 56 per cent . The total of passengers conveyed in 1856 was 129 , 347 , 592 , being an increase of 10 , 752 , 457 on the previous year ; and the number conveyed per mile of railway open was 15 , 213 against 14 , 503 in 1855 , the receipts per mile being lid 4 . 2 . against 1 HJ 4 £ Only one traveller in 16 , 168 , 449 has beeu killed , and one in 458 , 370 injured , showing a degree of safety greater than in any year since 1851 . The general effects of the raising or lowering of fares are detailed and the result appears to be against the policy of high charges . The length of line open for traffic in the United Kingdom on the 30 th of June , 1856 , was 8506 miles ; and the persons employed amounted id 102 , 117 , or 12 per mile . There were also 963 miles in course of construction at that period , of which about 208 . were opened before the end of the year . The whole are double lines , excepting 2511 miles . Between 4000 and 5000 miles authorized by Parliament remain to be constructed . The total will then be 13 , 173 miles—namely , 9700 in England and Wales , 1647 Iri'Scotland ,, and 1826 in Ireland . The number Of Acts , pa ^ ed iri the ; session of 1856 was 59 , authorizing a length' of line * of ' 322 miles at a coat of 5 , 784 , 426 / . —Wew . ' " ' ' ' ' : ' '' ' " ' ' ' 7 :
