The same happy prolongation of life ;nd vigour —(that is, of life and the capability of thoroughly enjoying it)—are within the reach of thousands who, from ignorance of the extent of the resources of science in this respect, pass lives of languor, gloom, prostration, perhaps pain, and die prematurely of worry, disquiet, despondency, and general wretchedness. consequent on these mysterious afflictio ns.

The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society. rind other means, since its formation, is 12,690; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 713 Silver Medals, and £16,000 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £64,30e on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting- cart lazes, and Boat-houses. The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorousefforts wrecking made by this Institution to save the lives of Ship d Crews. Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions the Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man a frement, tor the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

We lately noticed the performances of an orato rical boiler-maker, who, with much more zeal than sense, employs his Sundays in violently denouncing the Pope to a motley audience who crowd about him at the place where he has pitched his stand on the Green. We have not heard that the extrava gant tirades of this misguided and headstrong zealot have been productive of any effect in the way of either silencing or convincing those to whom he is opposed, but they haN a succeeded in in flaming the angry passions of gainsayers. It has already been reported that they had gone so far towards provoking a breach of the peace as to call for the • intervention of the authorities. We now learn that, as if dissatisfied with the slackness of the powers that be, measures have been taken by private persons to scare the poor man into quiet ness. A threatening notice has been sent him, drawn up after the approved model of those san guinary missives by which an obnoxious landlord in Tipperary is apt to be surprised upon occasion. The following is a literal copy of this atrocious production : TUE SCINDE INDUS STEAM ELO7ILLA, PUIVJAUB AND DELHI _RAILWAY COM PANY. The thirteenth ordinary general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate=street, over which Mr. P. An drew, E::-q., chairman of the board of directors, presided. The advertisern e n t calling the shar4.thelacrs toge ther having ben read, The CHAIRMAN said that on the last occasion of their meeting he had to state to them the numerous Were surrounded, but now the h an d s o f th e S ecre t ar y difficultiesosh subsided e bs was teed happyin b Tc y oh which nofcusi nalydf o t trhihncY India amounted to £6oo,oooat they had almost entirely . paid up, so that it would not be necessary to issue any more new shares, or make any further calls on the proprietors. As to the Scinde Railway it had now been open little more than a year, and yet it had nearly doubled its receipts, which amounted in the aggregate to as much as the East Indian line, the Great Indian Peninsula, or any of the leading lines of India. (Hear, hear.) The result of its working was not only most creditable to the officers of the company, but was in the end sure to yield a profitable return to the shareholders of the company. (Hear.) The letter of Sir H.Pottinger on the scheme, and the advantages which must be conferred on India by the harbour of Kurrachee, had been already pointed out; and the late Sir Charles Napier, conqueror of Scinde, added his willing testimony to the vast im portance of such a line of communication. To these opinions was added that of the present Governor of Bombay, Sir Bartle Frere, and they would see that in the course of the last eight months they had nearly doubled the amount of their traffic, and were still steadily and surely increasing it. In the present cir cumstances there was one object most interesting not only to the company but to the Government and the people of this country, and that was the supply of cotton. By a report which he had seen from, the Governor of the Punjaub, forty-four millions of pounds of cotton were produced in that locality within the last year, and yet, owing to a want of communication, only eight thousand pounds' worth reached England. But that state of things was greatly improved, for he found that from Scinde alone cotton to the value of £112,000 had been sent to this country from Scinde alone, and he knew that cotton grown in the neighbourhood of Kotree was equal to any ever sent from America. (Hear, hear.) All they wanted to extend trade was agency, and not only would the line be benefited by the transit of cotton, but indigo, silk, flax, and even tea and sugar, would increase the profits of the railway. There would also be in course of time a regular ex port of salt and saltpetre; so that all the principal articles produced in great quantities in Scinde, would find their way to England in the shortest time possible. He eulogised the services and abili ties of their resident chief engineer, Mr. John Brun ton, who was present on the occasion, and would give every explanation which the shareholders might require, either with respect to the line itself, or the Indus steam flotilla, with which it was con nected. So great were the improvements lately effected, that they had now a bi-monthly communi cation between Karrachee and the Punjaub; and the steamer Stanley, though not so speedy in her sailing as they should wish, yet yielded the com pany very excellent profits in her trips from Mortree to Moultan. There were many advantages which this railway conferred on the particular portion of India through which it traversed, but he did not intend to detain the meeting by entering into de tail, and should therefore conclude by moving the adoption of the report. Sir T. HERBERT MADDOCK, Deputy-Chairman, seconded the motion. “Glasgow, Sept. 21, 1862. "William tomson—Sur i hereby inform you that if you do not stop praching aginst our Holy Church that you will be stabed to deth some night soone for 12 of us have drawen cuts and sore to kill you and i drow the short cut and must kill you or be killt myself now you must hold your bad tung or it will be done so help me God and our holy virgin your a bad man wurs than gait or M'coll and as bad a man as henry the 8 or bloody queen .bess your the greatest liar in Glasgow, and that is a bigg word, for you never tell the truth, your a thiff for you stoll the dead mans watch your a hipocrate for you have no religion Your a heretick to and will go to hell soon. Now i dont want to kill if you will hold your bad tung so if you want to live and be a father to your childer you will prech no more on Sundays but stay at home and mind your boiler making if not i will stab you so help me Christ and our holy religion—Your enemy D 0 N." This epistle, which came through the Post Office, is written in a schoolboyish but obviously not a feigned hand, and is garnished at the bottom with a brace of illustrations—the one a drawn knife, marked cold steel; the other a coffin, with a skull and cross bones, and the in scription " William tomson, died 1862." Of course, it may be a wicked hoax ; but it looks " awfully real."—North British Daily Mail. Mr. BRUNTON, chief engineer of the company, explained the manner in which the lines were con structed, and assured the proprietors that the in crease of the traffic since their opening was really astonishing, and he had no doubt that before very long the line would have to be doubled. It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm with which the natives hailed the opening of this line. (Hear.) The report was then put, and carried unanimously. Colonel HILL complained that the original esti mate for the line was £soo,ooo,:whereas it amounted to £700,000, and the original capital extended to £1,500,000. In the report dated Dec., 1861, it was held out that the traffic would be greatly increased, but it since appeared, by a petition to the Indian Government, that goods conveyed by railway were so much injured by theft and carelessness that the traffic was greatly damaged. He wished to have some explanations on this subject, especially as the traffic had greatly increased, and these irregulari ties, if not checked, trust deteriorate their property. (Hear, hear.) Altogether, he though the proprietors ought to be furnished with a more detailed account of the receipts and expenditure of the comp any, especially of the latter ; and he wished also to know whether, if the line did not pay, the deficiency would have to be made up out of the guarantee fund of 5 per cent. payable by the Government_ The CHAIRMAN reminded the gallant officer that the estimates originally proposed were made by Lieut. Chapman on behalf of the Government, and the company were not responsible for the errors w hi c h had been committed by him. If they were misled it was from official data, and not by any one connected with the company. Their officers had always shown a great anxiety to do the best they co uld, and certainly i n the i r management the result had proved they were entirely correct. The railway did pay its working expenses, so that the 5 per cent. would not be touched at all, and “n account had been already opened with the Government on the subject with the best results to the proprietors. With respect . to charges made in the alleged petition of the natives alluded to by the gallant officer, they were entirely unfounded, because so great was the traffic that people had to be kept out of the trains, in many instances absolutely by force, so great was the anxiety to travel by the trains. m r. BRUNTON explained with regard to the works that they suffered - very little by the mon soons, and in no case had the masonry employed in the construction of the line been at all injured. The present year was the wettest that had occurred since Scinde became a British province ; but in no case had any water interfered with their traffic or destroyed a single bridge on the line. The CHAIRMAN next proposed to convert or con- solidate Delhi railway shares upon which the full amount of £2O had been already paid, into Delhi Railway Capital Stock, and to authorise the direc tors to pursue a similar course in future. Colonel HILL having made an explanation with regard to his former observations, and expressed his utmost confidence in the chairman and directors, the resolution was put and unanimously adopted. Thanks were then returned to the chairman and directors, and the proceedings closed. AMERICAN DISTINCTIONS.—The Yankees are a wonderful people. They have the fastest trotting horses and the lightest waggons, the largest hotels and the tallest drinks, the cheapest and most scurrilous newspapers, the most disgraceful bankruptcies, the most corrupt political jobbing, and, to crown all, the biggest civil war in the world. They go the whole hog in everything, and think as little of spending two millions of dollars a day as they pro bably would of paying them when they come to be due, re pudiation being a favourite method of paying old dolts when they aro found troublesome and pressing, Even the English language has been remodelled on the other side of the Atlantic, and the style of Bennet and Barnum is a de cided improvement on that of Swift and Addison. We owe some of our finest words to the taste and ingenuity of our Yankee cousins—such as locomote , location, caucus, bur, kum, stampede, sockdologer, a nd last, but not least, ek e _ daddle— a delicious word, 0° fresh' so expressive, so euph o _ nions, and so admirably fitted to describe the recent s trategic m ovements of the Federal army. They advanctd from Washington to Richmond, and they have now kliedaddled from iiiott m ond back to Walgungto 401inkrgh Otiran TRIAL OF THE _RESISTANCE. The official trial of speed of this frigate, the fourth of our iron ships in commission, took place yesterday at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, with both full and half power, and was attended with the most satis factory results. Captain Broadhead, commanding the re serve at Portsmouth, who conducted the trials of the War rior, Black Prince, and Defence, yesterday also conducted the trial of the Resistance. The other offieials on board consisted of Mr. G. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat, and Mr. Ward, assistant to Mr. Murray, the chief engineer of Portsmouth Dockyard and Steam Factory. Mr. Holliday represented the makers of the engines, Messrs. Penn and Son. The ship was under weigh by half past 10, drawing 23ft. 9in. of water forward and 26f. aft., a little more by the stern than her sister ship, the Defence, drew on her trial, her draught of water on that occasion having been 25ft. sin, aft and 24ft. 3in, forward. A run out was first made as far as the Nab light vessel to secure the anchor and clear the fires, after which she was taken to the trial-ground to commence her runs at the mile with full boiler power. The weather promised in the early part of the day to be of a very unfavourable character, but by the time the ship had reached the mile the wind had consider ably moderated, and the day eventually turned out un usually fine for the time of the year, and therefore favour able for developing the speed of the ship to its fullest ex tent. In making the runs to the westward the wind was on the ship's port bow, and on the returning run to the east ward on her starboard quarter. The six runs with full power were made with the following results : Speed in Revolutions Run Time. Knots. Steam. Vacuum. of Engines. Min. Sec. Forward Aft. 1 .... 4 58 12.080 20 24 .. 23/ 67 2 5 17 11.356 „ ), • • 71 68/ 3 .... 443 12.721 „ • • If 68 4 .... 5 39 10619 „ )1 • • If 68f 4 33 13.186 „ )2 • • ff 67f 6 .... 5 51 10.256 ~ • . ~ 68 Mean speed of the six runs, 11.832 knots. With half-boiler power, two runs were made as follows : Speed in Revolutions Knots. Steam. Vacuum. of Engines. Run Time. Min. Sec. 1 .... 5 6 11.764 201 b. 2 .... 641 8.977 „ 9) Mean speed of the two, 10.370 knots. These results give the Resistance a superiority of speed over the Defence, both vessels being of precisely the same build and dimensions, with engines manufactured from the same patterns—at full power at a quarter of a knot, and at half power of no less than P 315 knots, the latter a very impor tant gain. At the close of the runs at the measured mile the ship took several runs through Spithead to get up her steam again to full power, when she was tested in making circles to port and starboard, the two experiments having the following results :—With helm hard a-starboard, the 1 rudder was hove over to an angle of 241 degrees in 40 ' seconds, with 3/ turns of the wheel ; the half-circle made in 3 minutes and 11 seconds, and the full circle completed in 6 minutes and 19 seconds, the revolutions of the engines being 591. With helm hard a-port the rudder was hove over to an angle of 241 degrees full in 38 seconds, with 3a turns of the wheel ; the half-circle made in 3 minutes 17 seconds, and the full circle completed in 6 minutes 35 seconds, the revolutions of the engines being 59. The angles of the rudder obtained are very remarkable, as show ing a greater power of wheel and tiller over the rudder than has ever yet been experienced in any of our large screw ships. This increased power is obtained by a simple altera tion and addition to the wheel on a plan suggested by Mr. Robinson, assistant-master shipwright of Sheerness Dock yard, by which the spindle of the wheel is sufficiently pro longed to receive an additional wheel to the ordinary two, thus gaining great additional force with the tiller ropes. The tiller is a long massive piece of forged iron, standing out from the rudderhead fore and aft the ship, with a curve from the rudderhead to give it play round the screw well, and working over a quadrant which gives the angles of the rudder. So long as rudderheads, gudgeons, and pintles stand this application of immense power to rudderheads may answer in getting the rudders of our screw ships hard over when required, but an application of steam power below the water line would be far more simple, efficacious, and free from all danger of accident. In testing the action of the machinery, and the control which could be possessed over its working by the engineer, the engines were stopped dead from full speed in 19 seconds from .he time of moving the telegraph to give the order, were started again in 9 seconds, and when again at full speed were stopPed and turned astern in 20 seconds. The indicated horse po wer of tho engines was 2,372, or nearly four times their n ominal power. The propeller, like those of the other iron ships, is an improved Griffiths, or 18 feet diameter , a nd with a pitch of 21 feet, having an i mmers i on o f its u pp er ed ge of 7 feet.

The gen eral appearan ce of her decks and their arrangements are all that the most fastidious in such matters could desire. With an utter absence of all useless ornamentation, everything is in splendid order, and has more the appear ance of being the result of continued exertions during a two years' commission instead of being only of as many months. The ship in her equipment carries two things on board which are seldom found on board ship—the electric tele graph and gas. The former has been fitted on a plan that was worked for many months on board the Wonga steamer, running between Sydney and Melbourne, under the super intendence of Mr. Gilmore, formerly commander of the Wonga. In the Resistance it forms a communication between the fore and after bridges, and by the officer of the watch at sea moving a handle on a dial plate a needle in a case hanging in front of the quarter-master at the wheel points to the signal wished to be given, starboard port, or steady, as required. The whole arrangement is very simple, and cannot well be misunderstood, either by the officer working the handle on the foreward bridge or the man at the wheel. The gas is manufactured from oil, ion Mr. Gurney's plan. The gasometer is on the upper deck, htwaen, OA bQQm tiQat% MA Shlse tllO &Mal 1at041 1 7 1 05 is THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENT' G, SEPTEMBER 26, 1862.

LIMERICK RACES. These sports commenced on Tuesday over the Newcastle Course, and brought in an immense crowd of spectators, every county in the province being largely represented. Excursion trains from every district communicating by rail with the city poured in thousands at an early hour of the day, while every other mode of conveyance was also availed of. The number of vehicles on the ground, filled with the aristocracy of the neighbourhood, was unusually large. The course was admirably laid out, and a perma nent stand-house erected from which a perfect view was to had. The first race was for The Newcastle Plate (Handicap) of £7O, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sous each. Two miles and a halt. Flat Course. The following ran :—Pitman, Nancy Hand, Castle hacket, Con Cregan, and Colleen Dhuv. e to gain upon both.

Henceforth the r ace was b etween Nancy H an d an d Castle hacket, who contest e d i t closely. Castle h ac k e t, w ho was ridden by Archer, c ame i n f i rst, Nancy Han d b e i ng a good second, Con Cregan third, Pitman fourth, and Colleen Dhuv fifth. The fencing was excellent, and the race was pronounced one of the most interesting and spiritedly con tested that have taken place for a long time.

This was the great event of the day, and excited a large amount of interest. The horses entered were as follows, being, with a few exceptions, all prize winners : Mr. Woolfe's Sir Edward. Mr. Noble's Vesta, Mr. S. Mansergh's The Cook, Mr. Loughead's Roebuck, Mr. P. Brown's Evergreen, Mr,, 0' Neale' s Maggie, Capt. Nugent's Anonyms (late Maid of Gurteen), Mr. Furnell's Kenmare Lass, Mr. Falkner's Bendemere, Mr. R. Kinsella's Stout heart, Mr. Lloyd's Kate Fisher, Mr. R. Ryan's Merrimac, Mr. Ennis's Agnes, Mr. Inglis's Photograph, Mr. Dwyer's Morning Star, Mr. O'Meara's Palermo, Mr. Reeves's Vo teer, Mr. D. O'Connell's Biddy Early, Mr. D. Canny's Fisherman, Mr. P. Russell's Glendinane, Capt. Leslie's De Reuter (late Wizard), Capt. Machell's Grisi, Mr. Keyes's Mountain Fox, Mr. J. H. Moore's Dove, Mr. Fraser's Ro maika. The start, which took place exactly up to the time, was the most correct and beautiful we have ever seen ; the field appeared covered with the varied hues of the riders, as they dashed forward, each in high spirits, many elated with hope, a few with the apparent certainty of winning, all with good feeling and in the best humour. The first fence was taken without a balk, Vesta leading, keeping the lead up the hill, and sustaining her position to the satisfaction of her backers, until the rider (Capt. M'Creight) got a tre mendous fall, which incapacitated him from riding during the remainder of the day. At the fourth fence Glendinane got a dreadful fall ; the rider (Mr. Russell) fell also, and received, we regret to state, serious injuries, such as are be lieved to be dangerous. Glendinane's back was broken. Bendemere fell, rolling over the rider (Mr. Falkner), who sustained spinal injury to some extent; he was conveyed to the weighing room in an exhausted state, and was attended by Dr. Calahan, of Nenagh. Palermo fell, and the rider (Mr. Long) received slight injuries in the leg, from which it is expected he will soon recover. Merrimac fell, and re ceived mortal injuries ; the rider (Mr. Hearty) escaped without serious damage. Romaika also fell ; Anonyma fell, and the rider (Mr. Thompson) was rescued from a dangerous position by Mr. Shannon. These were all put hors de combat, and as the others were coming home, in the second round of the course, the favourite were narrowed to seven, and these again were narrowed to four—the running being between Grisi, Kate Fisher, Kenmare Lass, and Photograph. The excitement was never surpassed as they cleared the water cut, when it was impossible to decide which was most likely to win, the favourites being Grisi and Kate Fisher. Grisi, it was thought, should have come in winner, were it not for a slight balk she sustained in the early part of the race. As it was the riders did their ut most ; whip and spur were actively employed with desperate effect between the last single fence and the winning post, when Kate Fisher came in some 1 ngths before Grisi, Ken mare Lass being very near, the three running home in ad mirable style, Kate Fisher winning amid tremendous ap plause, the owner, Mr. Lloyd, being a favourite with all classes, and the rider, Mr. Apjehn, having done his duty well. The winner nets between £3OO and £4OO by this race. The casualties by which the sport was marred are to be re gretted, but we trust that none of them will prove fatal to the riders, though some of them have been very seriously injured. To indicate the wonderful speed with which this race was run, we may say that the entire time occupied by the race was only 10 minutes and a quarter. The third race, for the Garryowen Plate of 40 sovs, was won by Mr. D. Meany's Miss May, beating Mr. Holmes's Nun, second, Mr. Wynne's Lady Grey, third, and three others. The Military Stakes of 3 sovs, with 30 added, was won by Captain Treherne's Chateau Lafayette, beating Major Bone's Pitman, second, Captain Machell's Isis, third, and Captain Treherne's Father Batt, fourth. The Scramble Plate of £25 was won by Mr. Bouchier's The Rambler, beating Fatty Darling, Medora, and Brace let. ANCIENT TRADES, 700 LS, MAN UFAC- TURES, AND MACHINERE Mr. Clarkson last Tuesday evening (in consequence of the inadvertent absence of an announced lecturer) delivered an extempore lecture on this subject at the Holloway Literary Institute. He said the subject of the trades, tools, and manufactures of ancient Egypt was embarrassed by no problematical inference. The illustrations (of which he produced enlarged copies) derived from the painted sculp tures of the tombs, temples, and palaces of Thebes, speak for themselves with the unmistakeable logic of tangible demonstration and ocular conviction. Noticing the pro ficiency of the ancient Egyptians in the arts of peace, he h ira pe r f i n e e ttheir aas th primitive ey we re , produced structure finer those n er remarked that some industrial oc cu pations stood out in pre-eminent relief from the rest. Thus their looms, pre cisely h i t resembling e n ,imperfect tissues in Indian and Chinese departments of the International E in weft and woof than the Dacca muslin, and won the poetical designation of "woven air." So of their upholstery it may be affirmed, that no sensible improvement in their original tasteful designs have been effected. They decorate the drawing-rooms of our gentry and the saloons of royalty as they adorned those of the Pharoahs; nor is the improve ment esthetically exhibited even now at the International Exhibition, although the materials may be more various and costly, for the unexceeded forms of couches, chairs, footstools, tables, and buffets, were by the same artists who transmitted the unrivalled designs of pottery to Etruria, Magna Grmcia, lonia, and Athens, a striking tribute to pre-eminent Egyptian taste. A similar remark may be made on the workmanship of their goldsmiths. The ancient golden ornaments which attract thronged attention in the Egyptian department of the International Exhibition are less remarkable for their taste than curious as antiques. Their date is anterior to the golden age of art—that of the 18th dynasty. Those copied and displayed by Rosellini, constituting the splendid banquet service of the Pharoahs of that dynasty—epergnes, plateaus, jewelled goblets, hunting cups, golden vases supported by caryatides, in honour of victors and victories—will not shrink in chastity of design (though inferior in wealth of material) from com parison with those exhibited by Elkington, Hunt and Ros kell, or others, in the precious metal department of the International Exhibition—some of whose contributions have, indeed, been subjected, on account of the incongruity of their purposes, to severe testhetical criticism. " Why," it has been asked, "should a dish for macaroons be planted in the topmost branches of a silver palm tree ? Why should the fiery war-horse become the bearer of panniers for salt ? The Graces support a trifle dish ; heroes tipsy cake ; and the brawny shoulders of Hercules are employed in bearing aloft a few pounds of grapes." There is no such incon gruity chargeable on the Egyptian goldsmiths. The Lee turer having quoted the description by Homer (who from his gorgeous account of it had evidently visited Thebes) of golden clockwork automata; for instance— " Two female forms the monarch's steps uphold, Who breathe and move in animated gold ;" and golden clockwork tables, conveying their dainties, at a wish to the guests of the banquet chamber, as at present beyond modern rivalry—adverted briefly to the question of " Lost Arts," The ancient Egyptians were able to,impart a cutting edge to copper which we are unable to accomplish. Had they the knowledge of the artesian well ? Ancient artesian wells have been found, and recently reopened in the singularly level road from Cosseir to Kenneh. That road, so apparently artificial, suggests the next re mark. This ancient people had, at all events, a knowledge of the principles of the railroad, although not carried out to its modern maturity. They had level causeways extending for many miles, on which they conveyed enormous colossi and thonolithic temples on trucks in oil-lubricated grooves. Lastly, a more startling query presents itself in pursuing the subject of " lost," and "lost and recovered arts," Was steam-power known to the ancient Egyptians ? This had been partially suspected ero it was asserted and, indeed, demonstrated, by M. Arago— a great name and trustworthy authority. Hero, the Egyp tian engineer, to whom the first invention is ascribed, con structed, it seems, a gigantic ship capable of holding about 3,000 persons—about the size of the Great Eastern—to be worked by thirty banks of oars. All naval architects were aware that all the upper banks of indefinitely protracted oars would be powerless to move the ponderous mass ; and thence an internal motive mechanism like steam was sus pected and inferred. Again, Homer describes a vessel of Phoenicians—an undoubted Egyptian colony (as Lord Nugent, when Lord Commissioner at Corfu, proved)— which conveyed Ulysses to Ithaca, in terms which would accurately apply to a modern steam-vessel, and, indeed, nothing else. These are the terms of the description : " So shall thou swiftly reach thy realm assigned In wondrous ships, self-moved, instinct with mind. No oars have they to urge, ne sails to guide, Like man intelligent, they plough the tide. Though tempests and tho' clouds obscure the sky, Heedless thro' tempests and thro' clouds they fly ; Far as Eubcoa tho' thy kingdom lay, These ships with ease convey you in a day. Thither of old earth's giant son to view On wings of wind with Rhadamanth we flew. This isle, which saw our morning course begun, Saw us returning with the setting sun." That is to say, a regular course of twenty miles an hour, in spite of wind and weather, by self-motive action. So much for presumptive inference. But M. Arago proceeds from suspicion to assertion. This is his allegation :—That Simon de Caus, imprisoned by Richelieu as a mad man for his importunity, gave the first suggestion of a steam engine, which he himself derived from the Egyptian engineer Hero's mathematical diagram, termed the Elopole, preserved by Euclid, to the Marquis of 'Wor cester, who, adopting it in his "Century of Inventions," and receiving a grant for employing it in waterworks by Charles 1., transmitted it, through Captain Savary's inter vention, to Watts, of Bolton. It must, however, be admitted that the construction of steam engines in ancient Egypt, or rather the application of steam power, was principally de voted to the cause of superstition and idolatry ; for the steam-engine, which is now in alliance with the paddle wheel, the railroad, and the printing press—one of the most powerful agents for the diffusion of civilisation—was employed in ancient Egypt to work sham miracles—to pour spontaneously from hydraulic vases wino and oil on their sacrificial altar tables—to open wide the clanging gates of Amente during the severe trials of initiation—and to ex hibit, by means of self-motive machinery in the dramatic mysteries of that originating Freemasonry, the pains of Tartarus or the joys of Elysium. These ancient Egyptian steam-engines were not, however, endowed with great power. If they gave out articulate sounds from the mouth of an oracle or brazen dragon, or whirled round the ghostly figures of a choral dance in the Great Mysteries of Amente, they pretended or aspired to little more. One additional fact adduced by M. Arago is exceptionally note worthy, since he avers that the simple machine of Hero, the ancient Egyptian engineer, on the rotary principle, is at this time in practically efficient and economical opera tion in America. At the doss of the lecture, a vote of thanks to Mr. Clark son having been proposed, carried and responded to, an in teresting evening terminated with mutual gratification. WHAT IS A CONLRACT?-NOVEL POINT At the Secondaries' Court yesterday the case of Keiler v. hillier occupied a considerable time, the question for the jury being "What is a contract ?" Mr, Shaw, as counsel for the plaintiff, said his client was a manufacturer of cattle food, of Holloway, and defendant kept the Market Inn at Gloucester, the action being brought to recover £9 for 5 cwt. of cattle food sold and delivered to defendant. In the course of the present year a traveller in the employ of the plaintiff called upon the defendant and persuaded him to become agent for the sale of plaintiff's cattle food in Gloucester. After some demur defendant consented, and a contract was given to him. Now this Contract was in the form of a cheque, having a body and what is termed a counterfoil—the body being re tained by the agent and the counterfoil by the principal. In the present instance defendant having Eigned the counterfoil, retained the other portion and then gave an order for 5 cwt. of the food. That food was sent to him, but he wished to return it to plaintiff, who considered that he was not justified in taking goods back. The counterfoil had been read to defendant, who signed it with his eyes open, and it was now too late to draw back. Mr. Shaw called the traveller alluded to, and the plaintiff, who gene rally fully bore out the statement of the learned counsel. Mr. Henry James, for the defendant, said it was very true that if a man signed a document having the full Inaowloedid that its contents tended towards a certain end, there i _ Ll s be no doubt but that he must be held bound by it,rofouroodsvi; a contract.

The weather continued most favourable, and the atten dance exceeded the immense number that thronged the course on the previous day. There was a very large dis play of fashionable equipages occupied by the rank and beauty of Clare and Limerick. Stewards' Plate of 40 sovs, 1 soy entrance, with 16 soya additional in case of acceptance. Two miles. Flat course. Mr. D. Broderick's Nancy Hand, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b (Broderick) 1 The following also ran :—Ponteland, Pitman, Colleen Rhue, and Outsider. Pitman bolted at the start, and Ponteland took the lead, which place was alternately occupied by Colleen Rhue and Nancy Hand. After a very spirited contest the latter dashed to the front, and won cleverly. Limerick Steeplechase Plate of 100 soya, added to a Sweep stakes of 5 soya each if forfeit be not declared on the 13th of September. Second horse to save his stake and pay 8 sous to the fund. About three miles and a half. Steeple chase Course. Captain M'Creight's Yaller Girl, aged, list 31b (W heelan) 1 Mr. Graners Molly Asthore, 5 yrs, 9st 71b (Graney) 2 Mr. Lanigan's National Petition, 5 yrs, list 21b (Meany) 3 The following also ran :—New Broom, Kate Fisher, Mont .Blanc, The Youth, Brunette, The Doe, and Alad din, After a few mistakes the lot got off beautifully, Molly Asthore leading, and the rest in a cluster, well up. The f encing was beautif u l f or the first half mile, after which Kate Fisher camo to the advance, but was soon collared by The Broom. managing .again ' led out in dashing style, Noble followin first g rst tho , mare with his usual judg ment.

Coming to the finish, Yaller Girl made a spurt and dashed in a winner ; Molly a good second, and National Petition third. The death of Kate Fisher was generally regretted. Her owner had refused £4OO for her after winning the big race on the previous day. The Welter Steeplechase of 40 soya, added to an optional Sweepstakes of 4 soya each. Subscription stakes to be declared at the time of entering. About 31-miles. Gen tleman riders. To qualify as for Tradesman's Plate. 5-yrb-olds, 13st 71b ; 6-yr-olds and aged, l4st. The win ner to pay 4 sous to the fund. Mr. Reeves's Volunteer, 5 yrs (Mr. Canny) 1 Mr. Noble's Vesta, 5 yrs (Captain M'Creight) 2 The following also ran Newark, Bhang, Loughgur, Darrig Dhoul, Mountain Fox, and Roebuck. After some beautiful running the contest home between Volunteer and Vesta was one of the best runs of the year. Both horses, admirably piloted, were neck and neck for the last quarter of a mile, Volunteer, leading by a head, going past the winning post. Mr. Canny, who is deaf anddumb, is very popular, and a first-class horseman. He was most enthusiastically applauded. A Handicap Steeplechase of 2 sous each, with 22 soya added ; 1 soy entrance. Open to all horses that ran at the meeting. One and a half mile heats. To be handi capped by the stewards, or whomsoever they may appoint, to declare within one hour after the weights be announced. Four horses the property of different owners, to start, or the money will not be added. Mr. O'Neale's Maggie, aged, 9st llb .... Mr. Holmes's The Nun, 9 st 61 b 2 The following also ran :—Molly Asthore, Palermo, The Rambler, Darrig Dhoul, Anonynaa, an d Miss May. This concluded the sports of the meeting. WHARFE, WENSLEY, AND EDEN VALLEYS RAlL wAY.—Great efforts are being made by the local land owners, and meeting s have been held with a v i ew o f ob taining a railway through these districts, which aro the only important mineral localities now devoid of such ac commodation. The proposed lin o would form the quickest and shortest route between Leeds and London on the south and Carlisle and Scotland on the north. It would join the Groat Northern, Midl a nd,_ and No r th - E astern systems, centering upon Leeds , with the .Newcastle and Carlisle, • North British, Glasgo w and So uth-Wester; and Cale donian systems, cantering upon Carlisle.
