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 Now 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 caso as serted that some of the witnesses who bad been produced iu support of it were guilty of the grossest perjury—he referied more particularly to Charles and John Wheeler, who, it would be found, were the originators of the petition. It is stated that all the patronage of the appoint- ments in the Custom-house, hitherto exorcised 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. Stalls was then examined by Sergeant Ballantine— He said he resided part of the year iu 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. Blagg's junior partner. In 1865 he contested the representation of Westminster with Captain Gros7enor and Mr. Mill. He found there was want of organisation, as there had been no contest in the Conser vative interest for twenty years. 1n . 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 retur❑ of the sitting members decline to furnish the particulars ordered of " the notorious and systematic corrupt and unlawful practices" which they alleged in the petition to have been carried on at the recent election. That portion of the petition will, there fore, be abandoned.

Similar schemes have often been suggested, bui have failed either from the mechanical imperfection of the 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 locomotive, are enabled to ascend the steepest gradients. Mr Haworth, of Manchester, has also a patent which has been applied to a tramway at Salford with sigua success for the last six years. These twe patents, taken together, apply to every contingency, and admit of the construction of substantial " road-rails" at an average of less than £2,000 per mile, instead of £35,000, the average inclusive cost on existing lines of rail way. Steam tramways, therefore, would work in con• formity with railway 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, while in all large towns, and most 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 rendered 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 Corn pany 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. ment 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- On 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 says :—" 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 ptate 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 61t. or Bft. lf 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, ethers carried holy had jis or sheiks, and one was honoured by a peculiar, 'if not ztrecable load—a very sainted personage, whose great merit it was and is to keep turning his head round 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 his only covering from the blazing sun of Arabia. 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. His 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. intelligent-looking camel which he bestrode straddle-legged. Year after year this holy man has turned his empty head in pilgrimages to M ecca , 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 bead, which he poised across his saddle, and now and then 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 careless 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 bad to clear the 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 D priest at his country residence (Plasmadoc) last week.— Wrexhan Advertiser. The Moniteux 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-official 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 before the University. 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 vut 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 in the Mechanics' Institute and in the Temperance Hall. Mr. Titus Salt was in the chair at the St. George's Ilall 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 votes or so much enthusiasm as Mr. Miall, pledges it e to the return of Mr. Miall at the en su i ng election." The second resolution ran thus :—" Th a t considering the greatile meeting g l sacrifices relieves from ny r. Miallalreadyapleirassnnaeffort hitn o r made, ad in e , this doming election." An influential meeting has been Appointed. Great plAnktnity prevailed at the other two rp a.M,I; NOTICE.

His lordship said it was matter of high gratification that so satisfactory a state of things existed as set forth in the Royal Speech. He hoped the address he then had the honour to move would be carried unanimously. Viscount MONOK seconded the motion, and in doing so touched upon the various topics contained in the Speech they had heard, and said he felt certain the arrangtenetas made therein would give general satis faction. FLEET SPEAKING lIOUSE OF COMAIONS.—THIS EVENING. At a quarter before four o'clock the SPEAKER took the chair, and the proceedin g s from that time until the com- Lnencemeut of public business were occupied with the swearing-in of members. THE ELECTION PETITIONS. The SPEAKER then informed the house that ho had received front her Majesty's judges the results of their inquiries into the petitions presented against the returns for New Windsor, Wexford, Guildford, Bewdley, Dum fries, Drogheda, Limerick, Athlone, Lichfield, Sligo, Car low, Belfast, Wallingford, Westbury, Norwich, Staley bridge, Dublin, and various other place's. The CLERK then read thedecision of the judge to each of the petitions, which has already appeared in The Sun. Mr. Gladstone entered the house at 25 minutes to 5, and was received with some slight cheering from the Liberal side of the house.

LOPEZ gave notice that, on the 30th of Febru ary—(Loud laughter)—he would move for leave to intro duce a bill to deal with local taxation. (Hear, hear.) THE BALLOT. Mr. LEATHAM gave notice that on the 16th of March he should introduce a bill for legalising the vote by ballot. PAYMENT OF MEMBERS.

FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Lord E. CECIL gave notice of his intention to move for leave to introduce a bill to punish people using false weights and measures. THE ADDRESS. The SPEAKER having received her Majesty's gracious Speech on the occasion of the opening of Parliament, Mr. El. CO WPER then rose to move an address to her Majesty in answer to her Royal Speech. He said he hoped tho present Parliament, which had been elected on an en larged basis, would fulfil the high expectations entertained of it. It was gratifying to know that friendly feeling continued to exist between her Majesty and all the great Powers ; and with respect to Greece, if that country became the question of continental consideration Eng land could not abstain from taking part in it. With re spect to America the subject had been dealt with in an enlarged spirit, and without knowing how the arrange ment would be received in America he, simply trusted that a fooling of moderation would be exhibited, and that the matter that had led to such un fortunate differences should bo at once and for ever, if that were possible, settled. If the result should be the res toration of friendly relations between the two countries he was certain it would be a source of universal satisfaction. He could but regret that an outbreak had occurred in New Zealand, but he hoped that the promoters of differences between the Europeans and the natives would be singled out and dealt with as they deserved. It was extremely satisfactory to know that it was not thought neces sary to renew the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act is Ireland, and he hoped that her Majesty's subjects in that part of her realm would redouble their exertion to encou rage and promote a better state of things. (Hear, hear.) There were certain intimations in the Royal Speech that various improvements in the law with respect to contested elections and other matters, but he thought that something ought to be done to consider the question of the ballot (Hear, hear) He was glad the subject of financial boards was to be taken up by the Government—(hear, Lear)—as he thought it was no thing but right the ratepayers should have some control of the funds which they contributed. (Hear, hear.) He would not further allude to the subject of the Irish Church than to say that the difficulties which surrounded the subject were very great. (Rear, hear.) However, he had great confidence in the Government that they would deal with the matter, be cause they did not consider that the difficulties to which he alluded were insurmountable. (Hear,hear.) Ono great difficulty he admitted was what to do with the money—(hear, hear)—.but he thought that house, when the subject was calmly taken into con ideration, would be able to solve even that great problem. (Hear, hear.) He was sure the people of Ireland felt an era of hope was c d l a u w d n e i b n y g, n a i n o d vin w g it t h he th a a d t dress. pleasing thought he would con - Mr. MUNDELLA seconded the motion, and said that the honour he bad been selected for was not out of any personal consideration for himself, but solely conferred because he represented one of the largest working con stituencies in the kingdom. The bon. gentleman having t s o p u e c e h c e h d re u s p u o u n ied lt h ie is y s a e r a irs topics contained rnthellk , 3 - e1 Mr. DISRAELI rose, and in his opening observations said there was no intention of moving an amendment to the motion before the house.
