CRYSTAL PALACE.—Entire re-or gan i sa ti on of the Refreshment Department.—Messrs. .AWYER . and STRANGE, of the London, Fleet str' et, having taken this department, feel it be but due to the public and to themselves to state the ar rangements by which they hope to secure the patronage of allc'asses orsisitors to the Palace. In embarking upon this responsible under taking, they feel that their surest expectation of success reQts on their henceforh rendering the RKFRES•iIIIENT DEPARTMENT a splendid and distinctive feature in •he general attr , ctions. Their first act, which has the sanction of the directors, will be to throw () Pea a series of magnific nr saloons in those localities of the Palace commanding the best views of the crounds, the fountains, and the exqui.ite scenery of the surroanding country. It Is callfid• fitly hop e d th a t ever y c l ass o f t h e commun ity visiting the P alace v. 11l And both their tastes and their purses consuit , d in the refreshment arrangements; for while the cuisine wit contain everything that is recherche in the best English clubs, ample ac commodation will he afforded to that large class who may Wish to study e 'onomy, and a' the same time seek comfort. It will be the aim of the new proprietors to give the pubic as many facilities for enjoying the p'easnres of the table as they could expect at the best houses of entertainmmt, either at tie West wnd or in the City. It is hoped that by a system of manage- Ment at once liberal and economic, the holders of seas. tickets and families will be induced to avail themselves of the opportunities about to be afforded of dining well and t he, ply. The arrangements for the general public must necessarily be of a very comprehensive character, and while the proprietors undertake to satisfy the most refined tastes, they will not neglect the more simple ones. By a Judicious blending of the English with the foreign forms of the culi nary a-t they hope to make the de artment worthy of that world- Wide patronage which is bestowed on the Palace itsel . A novel, feature will consist in the construction of a suite of smoking rooms, Which will be of easy access from the refreshment saloons. The refreshments are now supplied by the new proprietors, but imme diate notice will be given of the completion of the larger arrange reenta.

All their exertions to do so, hoirever, were un availing. The snow continued to fall unabated, and the wind blew it in upon them almost as fast as they cleared it away. Nothing daunted by this, the men continued to work with all their . might throughout the day, and their anxiety seemed as great for success as was that of the now hoping, now desponding passengers. The trains' leaving Manchester at 4 15, 5, 6.30 p.m. on going as far as the tunnel returned at 9.40 on Thursday night. The guard informed us that about a quarter past-eight a.: telegram had been received at Dunford-bridge from Penistone, stating that it was probable -that the trains there might get through. The snow at the time stated had ceased to fall. The men were still working in good spirits. Just as the three trains arrived at the London-road station a telegram WA received (in reply to one that had been cent to Peni stone by the station inspector) stating that the line was open, and that the mail could pass. A storm set in iu the neighbourhood of Halifax on Tuesday night, and snow has continued to fall without inter mission up to the time at Ithich we write (Thursday afternorn). Many of the roads in the country are blocked up, and the snow in the town is at least one foot deep, except in the most frequented ,horoughfares. Such a fall of snow hes not been witnessed in Halifax for some years. Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Thursday morning the temporary Nilding in the area near the Piece-hall, erected for the accemmodation of the Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon and his heiress on the previous day, fell in with a tremendous crash. The, benches, borrowed from various Sunday schools, were broken to pieces. The 'timbre employed in the en.ctiou of the struc ture were smashed and splintered, so that for future use they will be comparatively worthless, and the large tent of the Halifax Horticultural Society, which formed the covering of the building, was rent into a thousand shreds. L was fottima 4 e, however, that tha accident happened when it did, for had it taken place about three hours earlier, when Mr. Spurgeon was caecluding hie evening service, no doubt scores ef people would hive be.er. injured. The fall of the building was caused, it is supposed, by the large masses of snow coliec ed on the roof. Mr. Spurgeon himself was detained by the snow oa his journey from Halifax to London, where ho was announced t i preach on Toursday evening. The rev. gentleman reached his chapel, however, shertly after the hour appointed f r the commencement of the service, and explained the cause of the delay. —Manchester Guardian, [Plum 4D. STAMPED 5D.] simple justice to say that during that time he has earned the esteem and affection of all who have come in contact with him. He, was remarkable for assiduity in the dischjirge of his duties as a teacher ; for a general readiness to assist every one who stood in need of any services he could render ; for a high sense of honour, and scrupu lous punctuality• in meeting his pecuniary obliga tions. As a private individual he was loved and respected. As a politician he has always, we have already remarked, stood alone, enrolling himself under the banners of no sect. It was in London that he first became acquainted with Orsini, and similarity of sentiments cemented a friendship be tween them. Situated as Dr. Bernard now is, it would be indecorous to enter at present upon the discussion of the charges made against him ; but there can be no harm in stating the facts which we have now recorded, and they are the pure and simple truth. TITS ATTACK ON A S iLICITOR AT NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNF. Oa Thursday afternoon the police-court, Newcastle on-Tyne, was crowded to hear the examination of Mr. Frederick S eau Todd, bottle manufacturer, charged with cutting and wounding Mr. G. T. Gibson, solicitor, with intent to do him some serious bodily harm The occurrence took place on the 24 h March, but the priso ner has been so iii in gaol ever since that he was not in a condition to be brought into c art until Thursday. Mr. Gibson, whose heat is still bandaged ep, appears to have suffered very seriously from the attack made upon him, and looked very weak and exhausted, He had to be accommodated with a seat while he was giving his evidence. The facts of the case, as de tailed in evidence, were as follow :—Mr. Todd, who is of an old family in the town, had been the proprietor of extensive bottle works at Sr. Laurence and at the Close gate. Mr. Gibson had on several occasions done busi ness for him, but was not his solicitor. Last year he bad discounted two bills for him and some other parties, and in December of last par he had brought an action against the whole of the parties and had obtained judgment against them. One of them had gone to gaol, upon which, according to his evidence, Mr. Gibson had discovered for the first time that Mr. Todd was irre trievably insolvent ; in fact, that his liabilities would amount to at lea t 60,0001., but that his assets were very small. Some Scotch creditors had taken pos session of the St. Laurence Bottle Works, and Mr. Gibson, learning that there were other judgments out, bai wade an entry upon the Close-gate Works on March 10. Todd had sought to induce him to withdraw the bill of sale, and Mr. Gibson had expressed his will ingness to do so upon Mr. Todd promising to get the name of a party to a bill, which Mr. Gibson promised to take at 12 months. Mr. Todd failed to do so; and the stock was Bold by auction on the 22d March. On the night of the 24;b March Mr. Gibson had to leave New castle by the mail train for Barnsley, in which town he had to attend a meeting next day, and was expected at his office a little before 10 at night, to finish a letter which had to be despatched that night. Mr. Edward. W. Hardy, Mr. Gibson's managing clerk, and another clerk named Banks, were therefore kept in the premises. About hell-past nine Mr. Todd and his wife came to the offices, which are in Bank-buildings, Mosley street, Red finding Mr. Hardy in, Mr. Todd said she hardly ex pected to find him there, and asked for Mr. Gibson. Mr. Hardy replied that he was not then to,. but that he might be expected in a few minutes, and desired biin and his wife to sit down. Mr. Gibson reached the offices about ten minutes to ten, and entering Hardy's, he saw Mr. and Mrs. Todd waiting. Tsdd rose from his seat and said, "I want to see you, Gibson. Mr. Gibson replied, " Wait a minute or two and I will speak to you, as I must finish GI letter to catch post." Mr. Gibson there upon went out of Hardy's office, and proceeding along the passage reseed into his own private room. In order not to be disturbed, he fastened the door leading from the passage, and he sat down to his desk and commenced writing his letter. There is a private door, communicating between Bank's office and Mr. Gibson's room. Mr. Gibson was sitting with his back to the door when Mr. Todd came into Banks office, having lift Hardy and Mrs. Todd sitting in Hardy's He oarried his hat in his hand, in which it is alleged he had a large desert knife. He said he wanted to speak to Mr. Gibson, and entered his room by the private door. Mr. Gibson, hearing footsteps at his back, lifted his head up from the desk, and observed Mr. Todd eater the room. Todd said, "I want to speak to you." Ile replied, " Wait a minute ;" but observing that he ap proached with his right arm elevated, as if he were going to strike him, and seeing something like a knife glistening in Todd's hand, he changed his position, and raised up his arm to defend himself, but in a moment bar received a fearful stab in the bank par; of his bead. The stab, it is alleged, if it bad been struck an inch lower down would have killed Mr. Gibson oa the spot. Mr. Gi u bs t b b n e jumped np and attempted to get hold of Mr. Todd,b latter, exclaiming, " I'll kill you, I'll kill him again, holding by the left hand and r t hb M °Gibson was with the right ; and in the struggle xtr • lle übwwttdheat once re stabbed either three or four times. l ibe clerksand w offi as ce, po a u n r cl .

The solicitor, Mr. Hodge, who defended him, did nct impute any tarsh treatment by Mr. Gibson in law matters, neither could he deny the attack ; but he stated that it had been made while Mr. Todd was in a state of temporary insanity, occasioned by the utterly dilapidated state of his affairs. The bench decided to send Mr. Todd for trial on the charge of cutting and wounding Mr. Gibson, with intent to do bodily harm. Mr. Hodge asked the beech if they would take bail. The bench determined not to take bail, leaving it with the prisoner's solicitor to apply for a judge's order. A first d;vidend of 4s. in the pound has been an nounced on the estate of Messrs. E.

The board held their usual weekly meeting yes terday at Guildhall ; Mr. John Thwaites, the chair man of the board, presided. The general cash account showed a total general balance of 57,570/. 18s. Bd. THE MAIN DRAINAGE QUESTION. The CHAIRMAN laid upon the table the reports of Bidder, Hawkesley, and Bazslgette, to whom the report of Messrs. S mpson and Galton was referred. The report was directed to be circulated amongst the members, and ordered to bs taken into con sideration at a future meeting. Mr. Alderman CUBITT, M.P., then, in pursuance of notice, moved :—" That measures be immedi ately adopted forcarry ing out so much of the work in extending the outlets of the sewers, as is recom mended by the engineer in his report presented to the board on the 19th of February last." The wor,,hy alderman urged upon the b,Ard the pro priety of adopting the measures contemplated in his motion, irrespective of the question of main drainage. Mr. HowEs briefly seconded the motion, which was opposed by Messrs. Dixon, Palmer, and Leslie, and supported by Mr. Alderman Humphery, Mr. Deputy Harrison, Mr. D'lffano - er, and others. A mendmen.s were moved, e 'hut eventually the motion was carried by 24 to 3. Tenders for works to be executed were then sub mitted, and after some discussion as to the pro priety of executing the works in the Uxbridge. road, the lowest tender for that work was accepted ; upon the opening of the tenders for works in Ber mondsey, it was moved " that the board resolve into a committee, and that the public be excluded." It was argued hat, by so doing, the respective merits of the contractors tendering could be more fairly discussed. The motion was carried, and the Chairman intimated that reporters might remain, it being understood that they should not notice the dices-ion carried on with closed doors. Mr. Hawkes, of Kensington, would not, however, trust the representatives of the pres.i, and, consequently, alhough requested to stay by the Chairman, they left the meeting. On the readmission of the public, thq other business transacted was merely of a routine character. ENGLISTI 4 \D AMERICAN JOCKEYS. We take frotn an American paper the following remarks : Among the questions which have been the sub int of discussion with American Trirfmen since the commencement of the campaign which Mr. Ten Broeck instituted on the racing fields of England, is ono that embraces a comparison of the merits of American and English jockeys ; and we are bound to say, now that the first heat of the grand tourna ment is over, that opinion goes vastly in favour of our foreign friends, against ourselves. In truth, practical observation was not requisite to the de cision of this question ; for the least reflection would have settled the point in favour of the Eng lish rider. There is a law of Heaven—none better settled in the experiences of man—that the highest rewards of proficiency and excellence are only to be paid to the most prolonged and patient effort. This law was made and instituted on the day when our first parents took their leave of Paradise, and it has been ratified by man, in sweat and toil, and conse crated by God in the rewards which he has dis pensed upon those labours, through countless ages since. The English jockey is virtually born under a horse's belly ; ho lives on his back ; he knows every hair in his hide, every bone in his frame, every trick and incination in his mind. He has no ambition but his cap and colours, and he is the servant of his master. He not only knows, by careful study, the rise, and fall, and curve of every track in the kingdom, and the peculiarities of all the rival racers he may chance to meet, but he knows—what, perhaps, is equally important—the characteristics andartifices of all the l-ading j )ckeys in the business. Moreover he is continually about the stable, continually making trials ; and in addi tion to riding a great number of races in every month, and perhaps, at every meeting. He is nevtr in want of a mount, even in the winter, so long as gentlemen have a spare hunter in the stable, when getting up a steeplechase or a run after a fox. When a creature, thus disciplined, and forming a part almost of the animal he bestrides, comes up in line with thirty flashing coursers, thirty keen, quick-witted, artful fellows like himself, and contrives among them for the start, and for the " play " after the start is made, he is equal to the task not only of bringing forth all the speed his horse possesses, but of so managing him in the race, and lauding him at the end, that he may win with the least expense of life, and with as small an advantage as safety will admit of. The English race is a game —more often a game of jockeys than a test of horses; and when an accom plished master of the art is in the saddle, public appreciation at once corroborates his chances by a sensible alteration of the per-ceutages that follow his fortunes in the betting-book. An American jockey is a very different creature from an English one, and he rides in a very different style. If he be not a negro—as many of them are down south —he considers himself a fort of gentleman ; and, after riding some half-dozen matches in a season, may, perhaps, lie fallow for a year or two, improv ing the interval by keeping a tavern, or, perhaps, alternating the excitements of the mount by open ing a nulette on the track, or indulging in a season OT two of faro.' This kind of life and practice cannot compete with the devotion that lives, breathes, eats, drinks, and sleeps only in its profession; and it would be a complete absurdity to expect equal excellence on our part from such wholly inadequate preparation. If the fibre of the English mind, on which these results are worked, were any inferior at the out'et, we might possibly have point for argument in our favour ; but we apprehend that the most vain of our countrymen will hardly claim any advantage in the way of original, intellectual capital over a people who have been great in every way and walk since the dominion of the Caesars. The style of racing in this country, moreover, does not afford that opportunity for the improvement of the jockey in an intricate knowledge of the philosophy of his profession as well as the English style does. In the first place, we race on rouLd courses, at every turn of which the horse, by his slackened speed, picks up a few mouthfuls of relief ; the English, for the most part, run on straight, or slightly curving, courses, over which the art of the jockey must be made to humour his animal, in order that he be not run to a stand-still. It is a well-ascertained fact that a horse cannot be kept at his top speed over a few hundred yards, and that, unless he be eased at times, he would be run out of breath, or, as the phrase goes, to a stand-still.' This, the English jockey is oblige4atno understand and humour; while the Ana o tT,_w_ n jockey, though lio be ever so stupid a neg . : - ~ , , uuJa must necessarily put his horse thherotiinglev inevitable Y somewhat jockey-like, by in reliefs which the straining ani- *s al to this straight formation of the course. the con running that we must ascriribte tihe the style of `making English inclina tion for a waiting race, ooevend, ' as is the fashion in the running from en o d . w aiting race, this ma this country. Out etrateed hounding courser, in a raging of a hig l i' m , nd an d matter, comes that pro his art, and that wonderful field of s•riving iof makes the English jockey so found knowl:ilifeh proficiency, more of a jockey than his American compe much we could present many more reasons in tutor. evidence f this, but the requirements of the dis cussion do not at present make demand for any more. It is sufficiently clear that, however smart a man or a nation may be, they cannot become pro ficient in any course by more intuitiveness ; and that they who labour hardest to acquire will, in the end, receive the consecration of superior skill. Mr. Ten Brceck found this out, in regard to jockeys, by going to England ; and we have disco vered it without going, by the mere application of experience to the elements of season."

The line was opine d on the 29th of Augustil last from Orebro to Arboga, m a distance of 341 miles l ; but the amount of prefer ence capital paid up las not sufficed to finish the remaining nin e miles, }art!) made, from Arboga to 'Coping, so as to perf ec t the whole section of 45 T miles east of Orebro. his result has arisen from the expenditure havinsomewhat exceeded the esti mate, and from a considerable portion of the sub scribed capital not havin g beeti paid up. It is esti mated that the additiona l portion from Arboga to sc o oping could be opened_for a further sum of 15,000 1, or, includin g the s 4 ations and sidings, for no t exceeding 20,000/. The t h e amount of receipts from directors regret that traffic (althong h . tra in creased in proportion to the number of miles o pened) is as yet unsatisfact ory This is no doubt e period at t r ibutable partly to th e lat • • d of the year w hen the additional mileage wasopened,par tl y to ar the fact that at the same time the plant for the ser vice of the goods traffie was necessarily i nc omplete, inc omplete, and. partly to the recent commercial crisis which has been very seriously felt in Sweden. M rover, suffi cient time has not elapsed for the development of traffic in a new country ; so that the present re ceipts firms no criterion as to the future working. Every exertion is being made Is .. , y Mr. Jacob for developing the traffic. Trains will be run in con nection with the. daily t steamboa • s on the Lake Malarn as soon as the navigation reope ns , and ar rangements are in progress to bring the mineral and other goods traffic) of the district on to the line. The directors confidently hope, iiithe course of the ensuing spring and summer, to see a large increase in the revenue. The gross receipts by y the present Board from the Ist of May, 1856, to the 31st of December last, amounted to 152,674 j. ; and the payments to 148,6541. Of this latter amount 64,699/. has been paid for materials, &c., to the creditors of the company, in discharge of debts existing at the time the present board commenced their functions ; 47,6751. has been sent to Sweden for the construction of the line and works, while 22,2591. has been spent in the purchase of rolling stock and materials. The directors recommend the forfeiture of 1,000 of the preference shares on which only 11. has been paid, and of 895 shares on which Dilly 21. have been paid, no notice having been taken of the repeated applications for the payment of the reiriainreg calls, now long over due. The directors submitted a propo,4al to sell the line and works, either at the fixed sum of 5,000,000 rix dollars banco (being 416,666/. sterling) or else at a va'uation, with 25 per cent. added, as contemplated by the company's charter. In the event of the Government not purchasing the line the directors asked (in order to enable them to complete, the remaining distance west of Orebro) for a guarantee of 6 per cent, on the sum of 611,0001., to cover the old capital, as well as that required to complete, the railway as far as Swarta, and they also asked for an immediate and unconditional return of the 11,8331. caution money. The Diet has ultimately resolved not to purchase the line at present, but simply to repay to the company 7,888/., or two-thirds of the 11,833/. caution money, without attaching any condition as to its application, leaving the remaining 3,944/. in their hands until the nine miles to Koping are completed. The assets of the c mpany are esti mated at 28,642/., and the liabilities at 4,803 1 . to the 31st Dec. last. ANTWERP AND ROTTERDAM. The report of the directors of this company for the year 1857 states that the amount of capital raised is 580,0001. The receipts on revenue account during the year 1857 amounted to 46,751/., includ ing 33,2551. from the railway, and 13,4971. from the boats, and the expenses to 28,6431., being 17,9621. for the railway, and 10,6811. for the boats, leaving a net profit of 18,1081. The increaso in the receipts, as compared with 1 . 856, amounted to 6,0831., or 15 per cent., and in the expanses to 4431., or 11 par cent., leaving the increase in the profits 5,6401., or 45 per cent. The balance-sheet shows a profit of 14,1081. for 1857, out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 7 francs per share, leaving a balance to the credit of the reserve fund.

The impending trial of Dr. Bernard has excited a natural curiosity respecting his antecedents, which communications from various quarters have enabled us in some measure to gratify. Simon Bernard was born, of respectable parents, at Carcasonne, in the year 1817. His family were attached to the liberal side of politic., and his mind were early imbued - with - their views. When arrived at the age when it was necessary to select a profession, he resolved to pursue that of me dicine ; instigated to this choice, it is believed by those who then knew him, by the conviction that he could thus render himself useful in alleviating human suffering. The auxiliary studies of the medical profession were ill-calculated to develop any tendency to hero-worship iu a youth of a re flecting turn of mind, whose first political le sons had been learned in the school of French liberals, at a time when idges Napoleoniennes were rather in discredit, and when the Bourbons could inspire no admiration for royalty. Bernard's first entry into active life was as as sistant surgeon on board a man-of-war. He was present at the attack on the fortress of San Juan d'U.loa, and afterwards in the roads of Vera Cruz. He is represented as having displayed great tender ness for the wounded, and singular coolness while discharging his professional duties under heavy fire. He afterwards took part in the expedition to the Rio de la Plata, where the French encountered severe loss ; and there his services, although he had no patrons, procured for h im the appointment of chief surgeon in the Urug ua y fleet. He remained in Uruguay till peace was concluded with Rens. The opportunities he had of witries-ing that chief's abuse of power contributed materially to increase the hatred of despotism instilled into him in his youth. On his return to France he finally abandoned the sea, and from that time began to take an active in terest in political discus , ions. He attached him self to what was known as the school of the Phew/1,- 1 stere, that section of the Socialists who sought to work out the ideas of Fourier. The main differ ence between the St. Simoniaas and the Font ierists seems to consist in the former directing their atten tion chiefly to the phenomena of the natural dis tribution of property ; the latter, to those of its production. The most distinguialiel members of the former school were the Pereires and others who have generally ended by becoming speculators on the Bourse ; among the latter were many of the ablest ellves of the Polytechnic School. The St Simonian school early received the impression of a fantastic character from the hierarchical tendencies of Pre Enfantin. The Fourierist has maintained a more rational character, but has branched out into an infinite multiplicity of sect.. In fact, Socialism in France does not mean a definite poli. tical or social creed, but simply a habit of regard ing social phenomena from a particular point of view. There are Christian Socialists and free thinking Socialists, republican Socialists and monarchical Socialists, peace-at-any-price Socialists and fighting Socialists. Bernard does not appear to have adopted implicitly the views of any of these subsections. He endeavoured to disseminate those opinions of all of them which were most in accordance with his own. For this task he was qualified by a rare faculty of quick apprehension and clear exposition. In 1842, Bernard, then of the age of 25, became editor of the democratic newspaper of the town of Tarn. He soon, however, resigned the appoint ment and travelled through the east of France, lec turing ou Politic it Economy and the various social theories which at that time divided public opinion. His ardour, the boldness of his speculations, and a certain wiunine kindliness and sincerity, which spoke through all his words and action., won for him crow 3s of followers. He took up his residence for some time at Perpignan, and there established La France, a democratic journal, man antidote to the Jesuitism of the Spanish monks. At the outbreak of the Revolution of 1848 Ber nard found himself irresistibly attracted to Paris. As an assertor of democratic principles he was re markable throughout, but it was after the tide of reaction had set in that he became especially con spicuous. On the very day that the law against clubs was passed he oFetted one. 1 - lis agitation was by public addresses—for which his pleasing and sonorous voice, his vivacious yet dignified ac tion, and a certain elevation of sentiment, pecu liarly qualified him. Some who have heard him speak in public do not hesitate to compare his ora tory with what is recorded of that of Mirabeau. As fast as the police shut up one of the places of resort where he used to speak, he found means to open another ; and he was in the habit of address ing audiences at various places in the course of the same day. Prosecution followed upon prosecution, till in May, 18 i 9, he was forced to seek refuge in Belgium. In Belgium he practised as a surgeon with great success for about a year. He subsequently tFea , yelled in Germany. Wherever he went his n odesof treatment attracted attention and excitedien ad cussion- On his arrival in England he out a pro limited means precluded his following ou d his fessional career, and ho had the se to the teaching of languages as t means of canting a livjihood. He has been an inhabitante of P_e.ys.- water for somewhat more than six years. It is lire. 353. Did ?id rket &co. ~--~,
