IMPERIAL Pi p ' I A /112ATT. • lar the Home of Omixows yesterday, after our report left, several hours were occupied in the dis summon of the clauses of the Artisans' and La bourers' Dwellings Bill, the whole of which were not gone through. The Industrial Schools (I re l an d) Bill passed through committee. The Cuattcsttos of the ESCHEQUER moved for leave to bring in • bill to enable the Postmaster- General to acquire, work, and maintain electric telegraphs. Be said this country was behind other countries in electric communication, and he quoted statistics for the purpose of showiag that there was a much larger proportion of messages to letters in Switzerland and Belgium than in this country, which he attributed to the rate charged here being higher. Another reason for the measure was, that the present system did not give satisfaction to the commercial world. The bill was not compulsory, but power was given to the Postmaster-General to purchase the undertaking of any railway company in the United Kingdom ; but if they purchased one and not the others, the others might compel him to purchase their undertaking, and the railway companies that now carried messages would also be entitled to compel the Postmaster-General to purchase their right to convey messages for the public. Leave was given to bring in the bill. The house adjourned at 10 minutes to 6 o'clock. RAILWAYS AND THE PUBLIC. Last night a paper on the question " How to make railways remunerative to t' e shareiolders, beneficial to the public, and profitable to the state," was read at the Society of Arta by Mr. Raphael Bran lei. Mr. Webster, Q.C., occupied the chair. Mr. Brandon's' proposal is that government should avail itself of the power it possesses, and unite the whole of t e railways under one general management, so that they should become a recognised I branch of the public service, available for the whole popu lation—a passenger being enabled to travel one journey of any distance in one given direction at a sum little more than nominal. He supposes that the numbers at present travelling would be increased sixfold if they could travel one journey of any distance in one direction for the sum of threepence, which is the minimum sum be has based his calculations upon. Existing fares under the proposed minimum prices may remain as at present ; they are comparatively few, and would not affect the calculations. He find; that during the year ending 1165, passenger trains to the number of 3,448,309 ran over 71,206,818 miles, carried 251,11%,862 passengers, and produced 14,724,802/. ' • this gives an average of nearly 21 miles and 73 passengersfor each train, that is about 3i psaseugers for each mile,the average fare paid by each pas- 'eager being Is. 2d. Six times the number of passengers could be carried fors very small (if any) additional expense, and if en universal fare of 3d. was charged for any distance for each person, at a very moderate computation six times the present number would travel, and would produce 18,896,989/., being 4,172,1871. in excess of the present • receipts. This calculation is inade supposing that I each person pays only a 3d. fare; but as it would be I necessary to divide the passengers into different classes, a much larger receipt may be reckoned upon ; for this pur- I pose he would divide the tra ffi c first in half, supposing that half the passengers would travel by single fares, and these he would subdivide into three classes as follows: at one shilling for first class, sixpence for second class, three pence for third due. The other half he considers would sake yearly tickets, which would be issued for first and second class passengers at 25/. and 15/. each respectively, giving the holders the privilege of travelling any distance in any direction, in carriages provided expressly for their I use. With respect to goods traffic, he has not thought lit to enter into any calculations. Doubtless it would in. crease, but he does not think it at all likely to increase in the same proportion as the passenger traffic. For the government to take up the railways ao money would be needed ; each shareholder would receive in re- I turn for his shares government railway stock, bearing int.- rest at 4 2-sths per cent., guaranteed by the state. The idea of carrying a passenger from London to Edinburgh ' for 3d. may be said to be preposterous, but we must ! remember that it wee not until Sir Rowland Hill bad shown its feasibility that anyone thought it reasonable to take a letter from London to Edinburgh for the same charge as from Loudon to Richmond. It may be said that , the analogy does not exist, that the half-ounce of a letter is nothing, but that a passenger is really heavy, and makes some difference in the cod of running a train. In reply, he says that the delivery of • letter is the most expen sive part of its cost to the Tost-office, whereas a pas senger takes himself away ; that the average of trains run could oath carry six times as many passengers as are now conveyed by them, and though the expense might be slightly increased, the increase could be but extremely small, while the receipts would be enormously augmentoth The public would speedily reap the advantages of • com plete and harmonious system of management, with re gular and continuous trains running in all directions, and a general diminution of expense, trade would be benefited enormously by the increased facilities of traffic, while the effect upon the money market of at once converting 453,000,0001. of sunk capital into readily coavertible securities would be a stimulus of enormous value to the country. A long and interesting discussion ensued, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to Mr. Brandon and the chairman. of feebleness soon after the scene recorded ; Mr. Hurl atone's ecclesiastic is a hale man of forty at the limit. The other important work of this painter is in most respects in ferior, though possessing the same characteristics of style and the same command of effect. Sancho Peace's fees is painted with a nearer approach to finish than is seen in the former work ; but its expression is totally devoid of that quaintness and humour to be looked for in the physiognomy of that eminent professor of proverhiel philo sophy, especially at so trying a moment. The bee and look would better bent a solemn county magleinage, indignant at the recital of some poaching delinonsiely, than the racy but unconscious humourist, who repreentele the simple wants and natural lusts of man is oppmitimi be the high quests of self-sacrificing chivalry, and who is here shown at the moment them carnal appetites are ex periencing a most mortifying defeat. Neither week indeed, though illustrating the highest models of social and philo sophical satire, would be suspected, but for their title, to bear any connection with the humourous view of humanity. The president exhibits several other minor works, but which are more in the nature of studies than completed pictures. The Joan of Arc of Mr. E. C. Barnes is the next work to challenge peculiar attention by the ambition of the artist's intention, no less than the merit* displayed in the endeavour to reach that standard which i+ dignified by the name of historical. Joan of Arc is represented on her way to the stake, a mailed warrior is adjusting the hempen bonds which confine her hands, while behind her, on the other side, the figure of • friar is partly seen ascending from a lower level, and hearing a large crucifix. The patriot virgin occupies the centre of the canvas, her uplifted face and heavenward-gazing eyes beam with mingled regret, enthusiasm, and resignation, which contrasts with the passionless, h ard-set features of the man.at-arms ' eloquent of nothing but a stern sense of duty on the one hand, and on the other with the prefee sional solemnity of the priest, or shaveling, who regiments the sanction of the church to the "act of faith" about to be perpetrated. The painting, in its simplicity of conoep tion, and the unhesitating trust the artist has plariedin a direct appeal to the common springs of human emotion, un aided by applause-catching tricks of detail, or wonder-work ng multiplication of accessories, approaches what is conven tionally called the "gland," and would be nearer to it were the same knowledge and equal are and skill applied to the whole work in all its details, which are visible only in - I separate parts.

With the exception of Writes, and Prince George the whole of the competitors took their pro. liminsry canter. The first attempt to despatch them was frustrated by tits breaking away of Rhine Wine, who was very frootius, and ran to the top of the bill twice. Wars, Ironmaster, Laird of Scotland, Charawood, and Brother to Knight of the Crescent also displayed temper, but the delay was occasioned by the anxiety of the ' -wiuys to got off as much as mythic* Wolsey kicked R.

Mr. Hardy has observed with much satisfaction the willing ness with which, both in the metropolis and throughout 'the kingdom at large, numbers of persons have enrolled themselves, and the zeal with which they have submitted to practical training under the command of competent officers. In many cases gentlemen who have filled important posts in various branches of her Majesty's service have given much pains to the organisa tion of bodice of special constables. On the whole, Mr. Hardy his reason to believe that the special constables recently enrolled, and in number exceeding 113,674, have been organised upon a footing of readiness and efficiency never before attained, and that the spirit of loyalty and determination thus evinced has been of material public service.

A moooring skein, fastened to piles, is to be thrown scram the Thamerjuss above the pier at Putney, the bight of the chain being held by two stout anchors in the stream. From We chain eight buoys will be moored in • line, to which the steamers of all descriptions are to make fast, amid there remain until after the crews have started, when they are to coat themselves off. About a hundred yards above these moorings there are to be two barges with boats attached. from which the stern posts of the university boats will be held till the start, which will take place under the direction of Mr. E. Searle. Mr. J. W. Chitty, Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, has once more kindly undertaken the onerous duty of um p ire . Henry Kelley, the champion, Drewett, and Blake have chartered the Dahlia and Citizen " /1" to accompany the race. John Phelps. of Fulham, will be the judge at Mort lake. The Cambridge crew yesterday morning rowed a most satisfactory trial over the whole course ; they went by road to Mortlake, and waited at the Ship, where they embarked, and came down over the ebb at rattling pOOO - strokes per minute. The work was well done for three parts of the distance, when several of the men showed symptoms of flagging ; nevertheless the trial on the whole was excellent, and the time, 21 min. 20 seat., brought plenty of takers at 7to 4. They did not again go out in the boat. The Oxonians went out but once ; they paddled to Mortlake, and thence to Putney, rowed a succession of rapid spurts with the following crew, composed of ant vaulty and public school men : THE .CRATCH CREW.

Although a scratch lot, four of them at least are what may truly be termed consummate oarsmen, the finest ex ponents of the art ; they were in excellent form, but could not beat the Oxford crew, who rowed very well indeed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS. TO; 11.110;1111if to suggest, through the medium of your paper, that in the forthcoming University Boat Rao., equestrians should not be allowed to ride along the towing-path between Putney and Barnes, thus putting those that walk not only to incenvemienee, but to positive danger. This year there will probably be a far greater rush of people than there was last, owing to its taking place about three hours later, and the weather cannot well be worn than It was on that occasion. Those who were down at Putney or Hammersmith last Saturday can testify to the ineoavenienee that the great mails of people were put to by the comparatively few on horseback. Next Saturday there would probably be at least twice as many of both dares, and it will be scarcely possible for serious accidents to be avoided if the Mein are still allowed to race along the narrow path that winds alongside the river, endeavouring as they do to keep pace with the rival crews, and by doing which they just prevent a fair view of the race to those who have been patiently waiting, at the very moment they suppose their expectations to be realised. Efforts are now being made to prevent the steamers from breaking away from their moorings till the race is over, and I think that some effort might also be made to enable the people to see the nee with safety and pleasure, and not allow a few riders to annoy and inconvenience (to may the least of it) more than one hundred times their number of pedestrians. Hoping this subject will receive some attention in time,— I am, ko., ONE WHO HOPES TO SEE THE RACE April I. ON FOOT. THE VOLUNTEER MEDICAL OTTICERE. —A large gathering of medical gentlemen Interested in the medical service of the volunteers, mat at the Grosvenor Hotel, Belgravia, yesterday, to dismiss various questions con nected with the service.

The meeting was called, the chairman explained, on the requisition of • large number of medical officers who held commissions in the volunteer service, who felt, as he himself felt, that the medical profeadon who had volunteered their einems were not made the best of, and that they were not doing for the com m g a iill they were capable of doing, and all they were to do. The hon. secretary , Dr. Murray, stated that ore were 133 signatures to the requisition calling the meeting, sad from melee. lions he read of the letters it appeared that there was an unanimous feeling in favour of the establishment of a Volunteer Service Medical Officers' Association, and in the course of the promedinp it was unanimously resolved to form such an association. Dr. Harlin moved the following resolution: "Bei ng de sirous that in the event of active duty in the field, the volunteer medical service shall be found no less efficient than the combatant, thaw present are of opinion that on the occasion of field days and reviews some recognitai organimation should be made in tharserviee, with a view to the establishment of field hospitals, and to the regula tions of the duties of regimental surgery in regard to such harqiitels, ambulances, Sze." Mr. Thompson, of seconded the motion, which was agreed to. l i rg i an .
