Smith as one of the members for Westminster was resumed this morning before Mr. Baron Martin, in the Court of Exchequer. A New York states that the fascinating problem of the navigation of the atmosphere is about to be brought again before the attention of the public by an attempt to cross the Atlantic from New York in a balloon, which enter prize is to be undertaken by Mons. A. Chevalier, an aeronaut of extended European reputation. Mr. Hawkins, in replying to the petitioner's case as serted that some of the witnesses who had been produced in support of it were guilty of the grossest perjury —he refereed more particularly to Charles and John Wheeler, who, it would he found, were the originators of the petition. It is stated that all the patronage of the appoint ments in the Custom-house, hitherto exercised by members of the House of Commons, Lord-Lieutenants, and others is to be transferred to the Custom-house authorities, and that in future the appointments will be given strictly according to merit, and not according to influence. Mr. Smi-h was then examined by Sergeant Ballantine— He said ho resided part of the year in Herefordshire, and was a magistrate for the county. He knew Mr. Blagg as the petty sessions clerk at Watford. Mr. Isaac Newton Edwards was Mr. Ragg's junior planer. In 1865 he contested the representation of Westminster with Captain Grosvenor and Mr. Mill. He found there was want of organisation, as there had been no contest in the Conser vative interest for twenty years. In 1865 he determined not to stand again for the borough, but representations made to him in the early part of 1868 induced him to change his mind. In 1865 he was introduced to Mr. Henry Edwards by the Hon. Robert Grimston. He had been connected with Mr. Grimston in the direction of a public company. In the early part of 1867 he became connected with the London and Westminster Working Men's Constitutional Association, and at that time he had abandoned the idea of standing for the borough. Official information has been received at Black burn that the petitioners against the return of the sitting members decline to furnish the particulars ordered of 6' the notorious and systematic corrupt and unlawful practices' . which they alleged in thopetition to have Leen carried on at the recent election. That portion of the petition will, there fore, be abandoned. • Convocation of the Province of York will (says the Leeds Mercury) assemble in the cathedral city on the 23d inst. for the despatch of business. "The deliberations of the rev. representatives will, no doubt, at the present crisis, ex• oite more than ordinary attention, and it is expected that the subjects of discussion will include the Irish k Churcl question and the Lugint94 guism cf tAt'itsAgeLlastibll DOCKS. st East and West India lOO 116 120 st London and St. Katherine lOO 48 40 100 D oDeb. stock, 4 per cent all ..„ ...

Similar schemes have often been suggested, but have failed either from the mechanical imperfection of tilt means employed, or from the strength of the interests opposed to them. The new undertaking will, it is hoped ; avoid both these errors. It will provide for the easy con. struction of tramways on lines of road not hitherto attempted. Mr. Page, C.E., the constructor of West minster Bridge, has an invention by which locomotives are enabled to ascend the steepest gradients. Mr Haworth, of Manchester, has also a patent which hat been applied to a tramway at Salford with signs' success for the last six years. These two patents, taken together, apply to every contingency, an 6 admit of the construction of substantial " road-rails" at an average of less than 22,000 per mile, instead of 235,000, the average inclusive cost on existing lines of rail• way. Steam tramways, therefore, would work in con. fortuity with rails ai lines, in those districts where the traffic suffers for want of branch railways. The regular lines are too costly to supply exclusively the increasing wants of the country, NI bile in all large towns, and mod especially in London, no addition to the railway system keeps pace with the traffic demand. A cheap and sub- stantial system of horse and steam conveyance on common roads will consequently afford valuable supplementary assistance both to the companies and the public. By Mr. Howarth's roadrails, accidents are renlered impossible, so that the uneasiness excited by the failure of Train's tram ways may be dissipated. The company have entered into arrangements with Mr. Page and Mr. Howarth for the exclusive use of both patents in Great Britain. In America the tramways have long been in constant use. In Baltimore the cars in 1865 ran 1,201,920 miles, carrying 7,665,664 passengers through thoroughfares as thronged as Cheapside, with only one accident to a pedestrian. A comparison of the returns for six months issued by the London General Omnibus Company and by the New York Tramways shews that each carriage in New York con. veyed 89,831 passengers, and in London 72,260. Each horse in New York drew 11,137 passengers, and in London 6,081. The London omnibuses passed over 13,059,000 miles of streets made and maintained by metropolitan ratepayers, while the New York carriages passed over 10,736,000 miles of streets maintained by the railways themselves. It is believed that under judicious manage. merit the promoters of the tramway scheme could keep the roads in repair at their own cost—a great boon to the ratepayers. . THE PRINCE AND THE PRINCESS OF WALES. The Times devotes nearly four columns to the descrip (ion of the doings of the Prince and the Princess of Wales In Cairo, &c. Describing the reception of their Royal Highnesses by the Viceroy of Egypt, the correspondent Bays :—" The Viceroy's latest telegram informs him that the Prince's train is within half an hour of Cairo, and his Highness retires to put on his uniform. In a few minutes more than the time indicated the whistle of the engine is heard afar, the Viceroy appears at the garden gate in a blue frock, richly laced with gold, wearing the Order of the Osmanli, and with a curved sword, the hilt of which blazes with diamonds, by his side. The Egyptian band strikes up its weird national hymn, and the troops present arms as, turning a curve, a painted and decorated engine appears on the rail drawing an American state saloon and the carriages of the Prince's suite. The Prince wore a general officer's uniform. He seemed in very excellent health. Every one was delighted to see the Princess of Wales looking so well after her sea voyage and her winter-vexed travels through Prussia and Austria. The meeting between the Viceroy and their Royal Highnesses was most frank and friendly ; no great bowing and ceremonious speeches, but cordial welcome and a hearty reception of it." Another letter, dated February 5, describes the " departure of the pilgrims for Mecca." In reality, we are told this is "a procession of sheiks and holy men and the sacred Mahmel and Kisweh, escorted by irregular cavalry and guns, which leaves the city to go out to the real pilgrims encamped on the plain of Akbar, outside Cairo. Several days ago the pilgrims set out from Cairo and encamped on the Abbasaya. What rites and cere monies they may have been since performing, inside and out, I know not ; but last night all sightseers were warned that the curious ceremonial which has just been termi nated was to come off soon after nine o'clock." The procession was observed by the Prince outside the citadel. "It was preceded by men with sticks to keep away the crowd, and they certainly kept their sticks going in a way which would astonish a line of beaters in a home covert. Then came a crowd of men and boys chant ing and shouting in front of the camels, one of which bore a canopy Gft. or Bft. h'gh of • cloth of gold over the holy saddle, others sustained lofty saddle and saddle bags, deco rated with orange branches and short flagstaffs with banners, others carried holy hadjis or sheiks, and one was honoured by a peculiar, if not agreeable load—a very sainted personage, whose great merit it was and is to keep turning his head routed on his neck, as if it was fixed on a universal joint, all the way to Mecca. This man, very fat and unctuous to behold, was bareheaded ; his grizzled, dark, and dirty-looking curly hair, divided in the centre, being hiq only COVIWITICr frnni tho Mooing sun of A mbia. His body was stripped down to the waist, and gave evidence that the holy man put on flesh very success fully in spite of his head turnings. llis eyelids were half closed, and his fat face had an utter want of expression quite suitable to the head to which it belonged, which went round and round from right to left at every jog of the much more i n telligent-looking camel which he bestrode straddle-legged. Year after year this holy man has turned his empty head in pilgrimages to Mecca, and seems none the worse—nay, all the better for it, though thousands of his fellow -pilgrims who do not turn their heads perish miserably. When the holy came l of the canopy came to the dais, the young Pasha was handed the holy cord, and kissed it, and then the chief sheik took it and kissed it, and the procession of camels, of singing men and shouting boys, and a turbulent straggling guard defiled twice in a circle in front of the dais, while the guns of the citadel thundered out a salute. The camels and their riders and attendants then marched away towards the city to take part in the greater pro cession. Next came, dashing at full speed from the end of the esplanade, a solitary horseman holding a long quivering lance with a tremendous head, which he poised across his saddle, and now and th en thrust forward right and left. This was the leader of the irregular horsemen, " the lord of the land," a great chief in Egypt this day. He threw his horse on its haunches with a cruel bit, wheeled round, dashed here and there, wielding but not throwing his jereed, and car eless of the multitude which now broke into the enclosed space and pressed round the dais. There is a habit of giving money annually at this festival, and there is fright ful fighting and confusion on the occasion, but in con sideration for the Princess it was not observed now. The results of a scramble might be guessed at from the scene which occured when no money at all was given, for the police and the cavalry had to clear th e way through the "people " in a way which would have done Superinten dent Walker good to see. WONDERS NEVER CEASE.—The honourable member for Peterborough, Mr. Whalley, entertained a priest at his country residence (Plasmadoc) last week.— Wrexhan Advertiser. The .2loniteur contains a piece of news that a marriage is arranged between the Marquis of Bute and one of the daughters of the Duke and Duchess of Aber corn. The ex•offieial print adds that the marriage is to be celebrated at Cannes. The Bishop of Lincoln Elect (Dr. Wordsworth) has appointed as his examining chaplains the Rev. Dr. Benson, Master of 'Wellington College, formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge ; and the Rev. Frederick Meyrick, one of her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, and formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, and select preacher b efor. tho REDUCTION OF RAILWAY FARES. —The Mayor of Brighton has received an intimation from the chairman of the Brighton Company, Mr. Laing, informing him that the directors have decided, in addition to reducing third-class return fares, and running mid-day and after noon third-class trains between Brighton and London rid Steyning, on making a large reduction in return fares general'y by all classes between London and Brighton, and between Brighton and surrounding stations. The additional third-class trains will commence on Ist March the change of fares on the Ist of April. THE REPRESENTATION OF BRADFORD. —On Mon day night St. George's Hall, Bradford, was filled with an immense assembly. A meeting had been called to nomi• nate a really Liberal candidate. As a vast multitude could not get into the hall, meetings were held iu the Mechanics' Institute and in the Temperance Hall. Mr. Titus Salt was in the chair at the St. George's Ball meeting. Mr. Godwin, who has been spoken of as a candidate, proposed, " That all hope of a peaceful solution of the present electoral difficulties of this borough having been frustrated, this meeting feels that no alternative is left but to accept the challenge which has been thrown out by the candi dature of Mr. Thompson ; and, believing that in a contest under such circumstances no man would combine so many considering rsas M ial l ,oa nlarleaed'fry pledge s effort made, ne grea t i t u th e hi votes or so much enthusiasm al a ,,n s iliya, lil iai r )ti . ei to the return of Mr. Miall at the ensuing election."
