PARIS, MAY 12. It is reported this afternoon that Garibaldi has succeeded in landing his followers in Sicily, not withstanding the Neapolitan ships of war which were despatched to intercept him. Some persons pretend to give circumstantial details as to the landing, but it does not appear that the Govern ment has as yet received any official account of the fact. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The Paris correspondent of the ?imes (second edition) says :—The Government, or what is called the semi-official press, has received instructions from the proper quarter to deal as little as possible iu invective when speaking of GARIBALDI, and of his expedition in aid of what we must, for the pre sent, term the Sicilian insurgents. The Patrie, which, since its last communique from the Minister of the Interior, has suspended a contre cour its flirtations with the Court of Naples, will not soon resume its eulogies of the Neapolitan Sove reign. The word has gone forth from those who direct its opinions, and "to hear is to obey." Some of those journals which, until within the last few days, dealt liberally in vituperation against the celebrated chieftain, and applied to him various harshly -sounding epithets, are gradually calming down. We have as yet only a sort of negative adhesion ; but, if the Home-office so wills it, the man who, till Thursday last, was but a common place bucanier, will, probably, be depicted as a modern Bayard, a " chevalier sans peur et sans re proche." The articles kindly prepared at the Bureau de la Presse for the journals will, it appears, be models of moderation. That the Piedmontese Government were fully aware of the expedi tion, and connived at or encouraged it, no one doubts, and, consequently, no one believes M. Cavour's protestations of innocence. If it be alleged that as the Minister of a constitu tional Government he hat( no means left to arrest the expedition, it is replied that constitutional hindrances did not stand in his way when the war broke out against Austria. The expedition was precipitated in order that time should not be left to General Lamoriciere to organise the Papal army, and guard the rest of the Roman territory from the threatened dismemberment and certain annexation to Piedmont. I mentioned on Friday a rumour current here that some pourparlers were passing between the English and French Governments rela tive to the Sicilian insurrection. If lam correctly informed, the real object was that an understanding should be come to by both Governments to set their faces against all intervention in the contest,whether coming from Austria, Piedmont, or the Pontifical Government; and that the Sicilians and Nea politans shall bo left to fight out the quarrel by themselves. BOURSE, May 12.—The market continues in a very agitated state, and prices have again declined. Threes opened at 70f 10c, and after for a short time improving to 70f 30e, are now a1,69f 771 c.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY _NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The accounts from the various manufacturing dis tricts are of a more satisfactory character. At Bradford there has been a slight improvement in the demand for both yarns and piece goods, and at Leeds a fair amount of business has been done in all descriptions of seasonable goods. At Manches ter only a limited business has been recorded, but there has been more inquiry for goods suitable to the India markets, and greater animation has been apparent in the inquiries for cloths for hone use. The hosiery trade at Leicester has shown increased activity, and the operatives generally are well em ployed. In the various hardware districts little change of importance has taken place, business at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhamp ton being rather inactive. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday business was moderately active, and prices were steady. The sales were about 8,000 bales. The Railway Share Market continued dull, and quota tions tended downwards. The half-yearly dividend on the Sardinian 5 per Cent. Bonds has been advertised for payment. There is a steady inquiry in the discount market for commercial purposes, and money is also re quired for subscriptions to new undertakings, as the practice is now invariably adopted of demand ing a deposit with applications for shares. The available supplies being abundant, however, the tendency of the rates is in the direction of in creased ease, and it is still imagined that a farther decline will soon take place. At the Stock Ex change there is a more active demand, owing to the large quantity of securities lately purchased by the dealers. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £517,369, and the exports £172,660, exclusive of the following shipments direct from London to the Continent during the week ending Thursday last : Cold coin, Hambro' )1 ff Boulogne )1 Malta „ bars Boulogne .. 6,000 „ „ Cadiz . Silvercoin, Hambro' 78,387 „ ff Belgnira Boulogne .. ~ bars Hambro' 476,000 „ There has been very little activity in the Eng lish Stock Market to-day, and the quotations have not undergone any material variation. The open ing prices appeared rather flat, and a de cline of k per cent. has since occurred, Con sols being 94: I for money, and 941 for June. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced have receded to 931-1, ; Exchequer Bills 4s. to 7s. prem. ; India Loan is flat at 1064 ; ditto 5 per Cent.

The Consol Market is better, Consols being 941 I for money, and 95 for account. A fair amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, but prices are very depressed.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 2 i prem.; Universal ditto,— 4 prem. ; and the Thames and Mersey prem. A downward tendency has prevailed in the Rail way Share Market, prices having sympathised with the heavy tone in the English Funds. Caledonian and Eastern Counties have declined ss. ; Great Northern, North-Western, Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln, Midland, and South-Eastern, 108. ; and Great Northern A stock, and North-Eastern (Berwick), £l.

We have been so accustomed of late to read of the exploits of our soldiers in the Crimea and India that a, little relief to the strain may be afforded by re cording the services of a thorough good soldier of the great war, of which we are beginning fast to lose sight. The following is a statement of distin guished past service which will favourably contrast, with any record of individual services of the pre sent day. John Rowley, a well-known sergeant of the Royal Artillery, enlisted into that regiment at a time (1803) when the nation was in alarm about the threatened invasion of Napoleon. In August, 18 08, gunner Rowley, belonging to the famed Major Lawson's company, commenced his active career in the Peninsula, and left it at the peace in 1814. During that stormy period, he fought in fifteen battles and sieges, besides numerous lesser affairs, and was twice wounded. The mention of the con tests which he bore a part will at once show the hard nature of his service, his fatigues, his dangers and privations. He was at Rolica, Vimiera, Oporto, Talavera, Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, Badajoz, Ciudad Rodrigo, Sal amanca , B urgos , Vi ttor i a, St. Sebastian, Nevelle, and the sortie from Bayonne ; in all of which he conducted himself as a firm and steady artillerist, combining energy with courage, and a faithful discharge of duty with every other military excellence. For these services he received the war medal and eleven clasps ! perhaps the greatest num ber awarded to any soldier in the British army. Twice he served at Gibraltar, and the rest of his time was passed at Guernsey and at Woolwich, whore ho was discharged in 1827. Subsequently he was em ployed for more than a year as a clerk in the military repository at Woolwich ; whence he was removed to Portsmouth, where he filled the office of steward of the Ordnance Hospital for 22 years. In this way he was close on 50 years in the service of his country. He died at Woolwich on the 30th of April, 1860, in his 75th year. His excellent widow, now suffering from paralysis, was a daughter of Sergeant-Major Collins, of the Irish Artillery, who died at the good old age of 90. For nearly 23 years she was matron and stewardess of the Ordnance Hospital at Portsmouth, and is happily in receipt of ls. a-day pension for her approved services, which, if it do nothing else, " will keep the wolf from th e d oor ."— Army and Navy Gazette. IRE FOR7HCOMIvG ECLIPSE. It is now stated among scientific people that M. Faye was the first person to point out the excep tional importance of the forthcoming eclipse, the total zone of which he showed will pass across Spain from America to the Red Sea. M. Leverrier, who is at the head of the Paris Observatory, is reported to have, apparently at least, attached little: or no im portance to M. Faye's researches relative to the cha racter of the eclipse, and to have remarked that solar eclipses were common enough, and the phe nomena in connection with them perfectly well known. In anticipation of the event, M. Faye prepared an elaborate and complete plan of observations, which he submitted to the Academy last October, and which he proposed to make, at his own cost, inde pendently of what is termed l' Astronomic Officielle de France. With this view he designed and ordered new instruments, that have also been exhibited to the Academy. In spite of the unfavourable opinions said to be pronounced by M. Leverrier, M. Faye persisted in his project, until the Director of the Paris Observatory appeared to change his mind, and offered to procure from the Minister of Public In struction M. Faye's official nomination to make the observations, with a grant from the public purse of £320. M. Faye accepted the offer, and received his appointment to the mission, whereupon, it is stated, M. Leverrier assumed the direction of the affair. The first result of his direction has been that M. Faye felt himself 'compelled, in spite of the ardent devotion with which he is generally credited, and in spite even of the intervention of the Minister, to resign his appointment. The suppressed commu nication of M. Faye had reference to these circum stances, and great discontent is expressed that the Academy should have refused M. Faye the oppor tunity of publishing his explanations through the regular and proper channels. Four members of a literary and scientific society have made an offer to M. Faye to supply him (gratuitously of course) with the necessary instru- Inents, valued at little short of £2,000, and they have also offered their own services if necessary, to induce him to resume his original intention of mak ing the observations independently of the " Official Astronomy." The offer has been accepted. M. Fat'e's plan of observation is entirely novel, and calls in largely the aid of photography. Tills DAYS' SHIPPING.

FUNDS IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.—The un claimed dividend account, which is constituted by the in vestment of moneys paid in as unclaimed dividends and un divided surplus by assignees under old bankruptcies, has just been increased to £41,271 by the transfer of above £30,000 from the Bankruptcy Fund Account—a very large fund , ,alnounting still to £1,307,694. This "Bankruptcy Fund "m is composed of investments made from time to time of moneys paid to the credit of bankrupts' estates in excess of what may be required for the current payments of divi dend, and of charges incidental to the working of the estates. The surplus interest of this fund is now appli e d formationin the of another called the " Chief Registrar's Account, and which a l rea d y amounts to £ 128,745. The compensations payable from the funds of the Bankruptcy Court amount to £17,161 a-year, but are slowly diminish ing. 'TIE RAILWAY BETWEEN ALSATIA AND B ADEN.— The adjudication of the work s o f f or tifi cat i on to b e con structed near the bridge of Kehl, on the Baden side of the Rhine, has just taken place. The maximum of the price fixed amounted to 332,000 florins, but the contr a ct s were entered into mostly by foreigners, at a reduction of about 20,000 florins on that sum. .There is at prese n t a p er f ec t mania for building and embellishing among the people of Kehl, who feel certain that when the junction railway shall have been completed their relations with Strasburg and Alsace will considerably increase.

The fact was, that in the winter months children are covered over by the bed clothes, the effect of which was, that they inhaled their own breath, which was almost instant death. Whereas, in the summer months, the bed-clothes are flung off the mouths of infants, who are thus allowed to breathe freely. In the former case the various breaths poisoned the atmosphere, which did not take place in the latter case. He had often made similar remarks, but which were Rot attended to.

CORN EXCHANGE. The transactions in wheat in most of the country mar kets, held on Saturday, were very moderate. In prices, however, no change of importance took place. Grinding and distilling barley realised extreme rates ; but malting barley was dull. Oats, beans, and peas commanded ex treme quotations ; but flour was a slow sale. The continental markets have been less active for wheat, at barely the late advance in the quotations. In spring corn, rather large transactions have taken place on English account. Parcels of wheat and flour continue to change hands in the United States for shipment to England. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market, last week, were limited. The imports from abroad were confined to 6212 quarters of wheat, 4243 barley, 14,285 oats, 4507 beans, 757 peas, 1598 tares, 28,995 linseed, 6320 rape seed, 20 sundry seeds, 250 sacks and 2500 barrels of flour. The arrivals of wheat fresh up to our market to-day from Essex were somewhat in excess of Monday last, but those from Kent were very moderate. The demand for both red and white parcels was in a sluggish state. However, good and useful qualities sold at prices equal to this day se'nnight, but low and damp parcels ruled somewhat heavy, and in some instances the quotations ruled the turn in favour of buyers. We were but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. Owing to the comparatively small stocks in granary, all description were held at very full prices, but the amount of business doing was only modtrate, at lato quotations, to a slight advance. The inquiry for floating cargoes of grain was by no means active, at about previ ous currencies. There was very little inquiry for malting barley, but grinding and distilling sorts changed hands freely, and prices were the turn higher. The malt trade ruled inactive at last week's currency The show of oats was rather limited, and sales progressed stead ly at 6d per qr more money. The few beans in the market sold readily at fully last week's currency. Peas changed hands freely at extreme rates. There was only a moderate sale for flour, at late quota ions.

Sales pro gressed steadily, on higher terms. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts, owing to a large increase in the supply of grass in the pas tures, were limited, but for the most part in fair condition, buyers having made them' appearance from the North of England, as well as froin Ireland. The beef trade ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of fully 2d per 81bs., the best stots and crosses having sold at 5s 2d per Blbs. The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, 250 various breeds ; no stock reached us from Ireland, and only two bulls cane to hand from Scotland. For the time of year the show of English sheep was very limited. All breeds commanded a brisk sale, at from 2d to 4d per BID SDOVO lam, slummy a utirreuuy. 1110 DOSE Downs realised 5s 6d per Blbs.

(Before Mr. Baron Channell and Mr. Justice Keating.) THE CASE OF TILE REV. MR. HITCH. The trial of Mary Eugenia Plummer, for perjury, was resumed this morning (the sth day). The Court, as on the four preceding days, was very full, and the utmost anxiety was evinced by persons waiting outside to obtain admission. Baron Channell, _according to the arrangement, com menced the summing up of the evidence to the jury. He said the prisoner Mary Eugenia Plummer was charged with wilful and corrupt perjury committed at the trial of the Rev. Mr. Hatch. Considering the importance of the trial he was exceedingly glad that he had postponed the summing up till that morning, because had he not done so he should have been prevented from having the assistance of Mr. Justice Keating, who could not have attended on Saturday. He begged the jury to dismiss from their minds all impressions that might have been made, save by the evidence they had heard, and to come to a con elusion solely by the aid of that testimony., The case be fore them was one of the greatest importance to both parties concerned. The position into which Mr. Hatch had been placed by the verdict was such that no surprise ought to be created in consequence of his friends instituting the present inquiry, because it was the only one open to them by the law. The present trial had already lasted four days, and during that time a number of witnesses had been examined, and it was upon the evidence that had, through them been elicited that he implored them to come to a conclusion un swerved and uninfluenced by any other considerations. Ho did not wish to suggest to them anything that might be supposed to influence them one way or the other, but he wished to suggest to them the spirit with which they ought to be animated whilst deliberating on their verdict. The spirit in which the jury ought to approach the attainment of the end in view was, to see if the prisoner was a person against whom the guilt of committing perjury had been satisfactorily established ; and, in. order to arrive kit a clear and settled conclusion, the evidence must be their only guide. To come to the conclusion that the girl had committed the crime of perjury, they must arrive at such an opinion without having the slightest doubt of the fact on their minds, and if, after fully considering the evidence, they should be of that opinion, then it would be their duty, however painful, of returning a verdict of guilty. But there must be no doubt existing in their minds, and he could not refrain from saying how fully he acquiesced in the observations made by the learned counsel for the defence, by beseeching them against allowing their judg ments to be warped or their -verdict to depend upon anything but that which was fully borne out by the evi dence. He trusted they would be guided by no hypothetical conclusions; that they would not be swayed by the feeling that the tender age of the child would enable her to outlive any effect that might be produced by a verdict of guilty being pronounced. An adverse verdict was of as great importance to her as it was to Mr. Hatch, whose everything was at stake. He implored them not to be guided by doubtful feelings one way or the other, but after a calm consideration of the whole facts, to give their opinion without regard to consequences. In such a state of things they must be guided entirely by facts, and the contradictions that had been given to the evidence on tho one side or the other rendered the approach to these facts a matter of the utmost difficulty. That there was in the evi dence contradiction against contradieriee, ye, perm, num aeny ; ana such being the case, he did not want to express or suge est any theory on which they could bring their minds to a conclusion that perjury had been committed on the one side or the other. They had on one side the direct evidence from Eugenia Plummer, also that of the younger child Stephanie, and also that of the parents, who could have no possible motive in pressing suck revolting charges against Mr. Hatch ; but if they looked to the other side the charge against Mr. Hatch seemed one of the greatest improbability. It would iot do to depend upon the oath of ono witness against that of another. The law required something more than oath against oath. As fares the prisoner was concerned, her mouth was closed, and to make out a case against her they must be of opinion that she must have sworn that which she knew to be false, and if they could have nothing else but oath against oath then they would not be in a position to pronounce a verdict against the defendant. The charge that had been made out against Mr. Hatch in the former trial appeared most extraordinary, and from the position he held as a clergyman of the Church of England it appeared almost an impossibility. That he, on the very first might the child was brought to his house, should commence his indecent assaults, was most extraor dinary, and that after that he should night after night re peat the atrocious abominations was scarcely possible. To add to the atrocity of such conduct seemed to all well regulated minds an impossibility, yet it was in evidence that when the young child Stephanie was taken to his house, although she remained there only one night, he acted with the same disgusting cruelty towards her. Such facts had been sworn to, and they might or might not be true, but that Gol only knew. If the statement of the child was true as to what had taken place in the bed-room, there could not be a doubt but that Mrs. Hatch was an ac complice. It was an unfortunate ithing that the position in which Mr. Hatch was placed, as a clergyman, was no as sistance to them, because the annals of that court bore evi dence that crimes of the most revolting and atrocious de scription had been committed by persons holding the same sacred profession. Such a circumstance was one of great and unfeigned regret, yet it was certainly the fact. The case as it at present stood was one of the most difficult description, and would require all their attention ; yet that it would receive their attention he had not the smallest doubt, and to enable them to come to a clear and decided opinion it would be his duty to read the whale of the evi dence over to them, giving such explanations as he pro ceeded as appeared necessary. The learned judge then pro ceeded to read the evidence, commenting upon it as he went on. The first portion read was the statement of the de. fendant Eugenia Plummer, given by her at the first trial, which was followed by that given by Mr. Hatch at the present. _ The Jury then retired, but had not deivered their verdict when we went to press. A NOVEL OVERTURN.—As one of Bowers' Per severance omnibuses was turning the corner of Charing cross and Parliament-street this morning, about 9 o'clock, at a rather rapid rate, owing to the hilly character of the road at this spot, the hind wheel of the off-side suddenly flew off, which, after a little vacillation, brought the vehicle on its side with a fearful crash. Very providentially, the persons on the top and the driver managed to reach the ground without sustaining farther injury than a sudden shock at the very unexpected overturn. As may be ima • pined, however, the omnibus was very much damaged ; and, had it been full of persons, very serious, if not fatal, consequences must have ensued. _ THE CIVIL SERVICE.—Foreign Department.—The consulship at Massowah, Abyssinia, has become vacant by the death of Mr. W.

BATH CHAPS. People arc anticipating the Bath Races with much eager ness, not because the programme is t,nusually exciting, but because they expect to witness certain hostile and favourable demonstrations respecting the Derby horses The week's knocking out has already commenced; for this meeting St. Albans has been sent to the rear. Various reports are in circulation to account for his retrogression ; some state that he is lame, and others that the origin of the movemsnt was to be attributed to the rumour of his being sent to Bath. The " Chaps," however, do not seem inclined to take great liberties with hint. At my present writing both The 'Wizard .and Umpire are firm, and I have heard offers made to bet even money that the American colt starts first favourite. By the way, it appears to me somewhat ominous that his backers occasionally suggest that :hei;. bets about him should be entered first past the post. G rea t talk is being made about High Treason, and indications are given that all faith in Tom Bowline is not destroyed. These matters, however, I shall have a better opportunity of discussing when the Icnocling cut movoments at Bath are concluded. The courteous secretary is all activity and anxiety to render the meeting as attractive and as pleasant as possible. Already the city of old fogies is filling with visitors, and a most prosperous gathering may be anticipated. A discus sion of the probabilities will not detain the reader long, for really the events to be decided possess little interest in themselves. For the Lansdowne Trial St al. 3 my fancy points to Rara Avis and Simple Simon. It is said that St. Albans is sure to run for the Biennial Stakes, and, despite his recent hard work, I do not think that his trip will hurt him. Horror is amongst the nominations, and should he, Brother to Rainbow, Seclusion, and Cape Flyaway enter the lists, the result of the race must pro duce a complete revolution in the Derby betting. If St. Albans starts he will meet a very dangerous opponent in Cape Flyaway, whose success will, I am certain, cause Tom Bowline to take a prominent position in the Derby betting. The Biennial Stakes is sure to produce a hot favourite, but I have no fancy for the race. So much uncertainty prevails with respect to its result, that I shall merely state my determination to stand against the favourite at starting. For the Bath Handicap I shall select Maid of Orleans and Jenny Longlegs. For the Kelston Stakes The Rover ought to win, but in his absence I shall look to Mr. F. Robinson's trusted animal, probably Actaeon. Either Ancient Briton or Pomona ought to win the County Members' Plate. For the Badminton Stakes I shall place faith in Ariadno and Avalanche, in the full expectation thai the "Ayes will have it." The Somersetshire Stakes has not occasioned much speculation, and it is likely to bring out a very small field. Calculating upon the absence of St. Albans, I shall assign the foremost places to Claire and Timandra. Big Ben will bear away the bell for the Weston Stakes ; and Informer may carry off the llyrhani Park Handicap. Bath, Monday Morning. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT BATH. Cape Flyaway, Brother to Rainbow (2 yrs), LupellllE, Kildonan, Pan, Philomel, Convivialist, Vest filly, and Diamant. nORSI: RAILROAD& The following extract from the report of Mr. R. A. Gray, county surveyor, to the Grand Jury of the County of Dublin, dated April, 1860, will be read with interest:— " The attention of the county surveyors having been called at the last County-at-large Sessions to a bill before Parliament ' to facilitate internal com munication in Ireland by means of tramways or tramroads,' our opinions were solicited as to what effect the provisions of the bill would produce (if enacted) upon the existing thoroughfares and the interests of those concerned in their construction, maintenance, and use. Our ideas are given on each clause of the bill seriatim, and which, I sup pose, will be communicated to you by the secretary, and some observations in addition upon the work ing of the system in the United States, where it is extensively in use, may be considered desira ble : and I may state some Pacts respecting the sub ject, a knowledge of which I acquired during my professional occupation in that country. The tram ways are there almost confined to the cities and large towns, mechanical traction being found cheaper and more suitable on the long limes of commutation through the country. The great facilities of start ing and stopping vehicles drawn by horse power on rails, gives such a decided advantage to that mode of conveyance through populous towns, that it was very extensively adopted, and continues to increase rapidly. I observed that in addition to the great advantage the proprietors have in being able to move a comparatively very great weight at a good speed under complete control, the public enjoyed the benefit of accom modation in the vehicles, were conveyed at very cheap rates, were taken up and let down wherever they desired along the lines, were carried without noise or jolting, and, as compared with any other means of locomotion, were particularly free troin accment. "The rails for these conveyances are of a peculiar eonstruction ; so contrived as not to interfere with the ordinary traffic of the streets they traverse, but, on the contrary, afford a surface which is invariably taken advantage of by drivers going in the direc tion of the tramways. The annexed section of rail is that in use in Sixth Avenue,New York, a crowded and fashionable thoroughfare. It is a heavy rail, and one that does not interrupt the crossing in any direction or at any angle, of ordinary vehicles, although there is a double line through the street. There are several other sections quite as free from objection. " The Sixth Avenue Establishment consists of four miles of double track, laid with a 741 b rail. Tire rolling stock consists of 70 carriages, of about three tons each, worked by 420 horses and mules, the fares for the whole length being 21d for adults, and lid for children. Notwithstanding, the owners receive 10 per cent. The number of pas sengers travelling on this road, which may be taken as an average, per annum, is five and a-half mil lions ; and the number carried give an idea of the advantage the rest of the street derives from such a multitude being thus conveyed instead of travel ling in ordinary carriages, and adding so much to the wear and tear of its surface. The offitha statements published in 1858, alluding to five lines of tramways in New York, gives the following re sults : " Second Avenue-8 miles of single track, car ried 4,504,645 passengers ; no accident. Third Avenue-61 miles of double track, carried 7,945,462 passengers; six injured. Sixth Avenue —4 miles of double track, carried 5,612,337 pas sengers; no accident. Eighth Avenue--5 miles of double track, carried 6,768,203 passengers, one in jured. Brooklyn-21 miles of double track, car ried 7,705,839 passengers; five injured. Thus the safety of the system to travellers is exemplified by the fact that of 34 millions of people who travelled on these roads during the year, only 12 individuals were injured. "In Philadelphia, where I spent the winter of the year before I became your surveyor, there is a population of over half a million of people; and it is now traversed by 164 miles of tramways. Of the great advantages of these ways public opinion must be strongly impressed, when the inhabitants of such a town, consisting in great part of Quakers, proverbial for prudence and steady calculation, have adopted them to such an extent in the short time of little more than four years since the first were laid down. At the beginning of this year there were in operation in Boston 56, Balti more 50, St. Louis 24, and a proportionate extent in Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukie, and almost every large town in the Union. I have observed that the enormous amount of traffic diverted from the ordi nary ways has produced a proportionate effect of relieving them of so much wear and tear, and feel that this observation will be very applicable to the principal thoroughfares in this country in the event of tramways being introduced on them, or in their direction, particularly as the bill contains provi sions for enabling farmers and others, who now use the ordinary roads, to use the tramways. "I may add that the gradients and curves, which are quite practicable in the formation of these way s , are such that in the rural districts no unsightly em bankments or deep cuttings, with their consequent waste of land, need be apprehended, and that in most cases the grades and curves of the country roads and sufficient." c F i e r the oth er coun t y sur s. veyors, reported in favour of th e system, all of se are sr nearly Tait which we would recommend to the Corporation an d their engineer.—lllorning News. TIIE ROYAL CIIARTER.—The following addi tional article s were received from the Royal Charter last. Saturday evening :—Another portmanteau, containing three white shirts, one red flannel shirt, one singlet, one coat, one pair of trousers and two vests, one silk handker chief and one silk cravat, something like a Chinese puzzle, and a small book of different tales, and a part of a towel which was very rotten ; ono white shirt was marked " Gil bert Watson," and on the towel was "H. W." • A PLEA FOR SIR C. TREVELYAN.—A writer in a contemporary says—ln the discussion upon the recall of Sir C. Trevelyan, only one speaker alluded to the fact that it was Mr. Wilson himself who first gave publicity to the views of Sir C. Trevelyan. In his speech before the Legis • lative Council on February 18, Mr. 'Wilson distinctly stated that a claim for exemption on behalf of Madras was " officially encouraged by men of influence," which of cour o could only allude to Sir C. Trevelyan and his Council; and Mr. Wilson went on to speak of that proposal with exaspe rating contempt, and argued against it at great length• Mr. Wilson was, therefore, the first to make public Sir C''. Trovelyan's views, this publicity being the one error which is laid to Sir C. Trevelyan's charge. two dons both lusil 'hers ninl der- I put aid. urin s an ow d You here Bbl e. un- ces luck rful 1.11 a ed is, IT rt, as eh IT y ie r- I.
