The Company have great pleasure in announcing to the Public, that since issuing their last Advertisements, they have availed them selves of the opportunity of testing, by practical operations the utility and applicability of their Apparatus for Manufacturing Gas on the Premises of the Consumer, and they feel great pleasure in stating that it haslbeen adopted by the Birmingham, North Midland, and Midland Railway Companies, and is now in active use at the following Railway Stations : Tring Station, Birmingham Line. Methley Station, North Midland Line. Kegworth Station, Midland Line. At which places it has been used with the utmost success, both as regards the Station and Signal Lights, producing in point of bril liancy and steadiness a most powerful light. The Apparatus has also been used at various Lace Mills and Factories, situate at Nottingham, Derby, and elsewhere, giving the greatest satisfaction. • The full particulars whereof, and the purposes to Which the inven tion is applicable, are embodied in the Company's Prospectus, which may be obtained of the Solicitor, and at the Company's Offices. In carrying out this invention, the Company hold out to the Share holders a return upon their capital of about 50/. per cent. In stating this return at so large an amount of profit, it will be borne in mind that this Company have not to contend with any of the heavy ex penses to which other Gas Light Companies are subjected, such as large establishments for the manufacture of Gas, the erection and working of furnaces, steam-engines, laying down, taking up and re pairing of pipes, poor-rates, &c. &c. To bring this valuable patent and profitable invention into opera tion, it is proposed to form a Company by raising the sum 01100,0001. in 5,000 shares of 201. each. A deposit of two shillings per share to be paid to the Bankers of the Company, for which a receipt will be given, exchangeable for the certificate of the Company entitling the holder to an allotment of shares. The Management of the Company to be under the guidance of a Board of Directors; and, when formed, a Geaeral Meeting, to be held to approve the Deed of Settlement now drawn up under the advice of Counsel.

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.- The Committee of Shareholders hereby give notice that no further Signatures to the petition can be received, nor Scrip marked as approving of the AMALGAMATION with the EASTERN COUNTIES COMPANY after TUESDAY next, the 26th instant. By order of the Committee, HENRY PHILIPPS. RAILWAY. L 4 The Committee of Shareholders direct the attention of the Proprietary to an advertisement, by which, it appears, the Directors of this Company have convened a Public Meeting of the Shareholders for SATURDAY, the 30th Instant. The Committee have confidence in the integrity and character of the Directors, but fear they do not suf ficiently estimate the financial and other difficulties which will im pede the construction of so large a work, and the great relief which would arise to flee Shareholders by an amalgamation with an estab lished dividend-paying company. There is little doubt that a complete consolidation of interests with the Eastern Counties Company might be effected, the liability on the Shares thereby decreased, and their value improved ; and that, if the Directors were convinced it was the wish of the larger portion of the Shareholders, they would feel it their duty to effect such an ar rangement. The Committee have throughout only sought to attain this object, and they now urge the Shareholders personally to attend at the meeting, and if they vote for the continuance of the project to do so, accompanied with some suitable expression of their opinion on the advantage of amalgamation. It is necessary for every proprietor, who wishes to vote at the meeting, to attend personally with his scrip, or to entrust it to a friend. Those proprietors who may desire to be represented by the Committee, are requested to send their scrip, addressed to Mr. IL Phillipps, No. 4, Size-lane, London, on or before THURSDAY next, when a proper receipt will be given, and the scrip returned imme diately after the meeting. _ HENRY PHILIPPS.

The Committee of Management have the satisfaction of an nouncing to the Shareholders, that the Rill for incorporating the Company having passed Standing Orders, has been introduced into the House of Commons, and will be forwarded through Parliament with the least possible delay. A Meeting of the Shareholders has been called, in accordance with the Sessional Orders recently passed by both Houses of Parliament, at which it is necessary that one-third of the capital of the Company should be represented. Shareholders who are unable to be present are requested to lodge their Scrip with any of the following parties, who will give a receipt for the same, and return the Scrip after it has been produced to the Meeting, viz. : Mr. John Starr, Secretary to the Company, 28, Parliament -street, Westminster ; Messrs. Hope and Oliphant, W. S., Princes-street, Edinburgh; Messrs. Grahame, Maxwell, and Co., St. Vincent-street, Glasgow. In consequence of the works being now limited to the Western Extension, the Directors will be enabled either to reduce the amount of the shares or to restrict the sum to be called upon each to a very considerable extent. The project, as now limited, consists, first, of the Branch from Lesmahagow to the Clydesdale Junction Railway at Hamilton, opening a direct communication from the most valuable mineral field in the West of Scotland to the city of Glasgow,- from which a very large return may be expected, as:the gas coal of Lesmahagow is well known for its superior quality, and for that description of coal there is now an unlimited demand for exportation, as well as for home consumption. The funds already in the hands of the Di rectors will be applied, in the first instance, to the construction of this line. The other portions of the line will open a direct communication in conjunction with the Caledonian Railway from the important town and neighbourhood of Ayr, with Edinburgh on one hand, and Carlisle and the manufacturing districts of England on the other. These lines also pass through extensive mineral fields, and the local traffic will be considerable, but the Directors do not look on the im mediate formation of these works as equally pressing, inasmuch as the traffic cannot be completely developed until after the com pletion of the Edinburgh branch of the Caledonian Railway. Under these circumstances it will not be necessary to press incon veniently on the shareholders by early or frequent calls. A question will come before the meeting as to the propriety of inserting a clause in the Bill, authorising the Directors to allow in terest on the amount of calls from the date of payment. J. J.

THE ARGUMENT. PART I.—Shows how Mr. Brunel, in 1838, persuaded the Directors of the Great Western Railway to adopt the Broad Gauge, assuring them that this railway would have " no connexion with any other of the main lines ;" and how, in 1845, he attempted to force a con nexion between it and the main lines, at Wolverhampton, Rugby, Dorchester, &c.—How Mr. Brunei stated that carriages and trucks would not pass from one railway to another, being different pro perties, whereas more than half a million are passing annually at the present time.—llow Mr. Brunel, in 1838, adopted the Broad Gauge, for the express reason that the railway would be nearly level, and have very slight curves ; and how, in after years, he applied the Broad Gauge to Railways having the steepest gradients and the sharpest curves.—How Mr. Brunel said, in 1839, that " he never re commended the Broad Gauge for the purpose of having larger en gines ;" and how, in 1845, it was his boast that he was building en gines wider and larger. How Mr. Brunel selected the Broad Gangs because he could place the bodies of the carriages within the wheels, and how he has always brought them outside the wheels.— How Mr. Brunel advocates the atmospheric system, which in all essential points is the exact converse of the Broad Gauge System. PART IL—Shows what Mr. Saunders thought of competition In 1844, when he was a disinterested party, and what he said about Competition when he was an interested party. John:ollivier, 59, Pall-mall.

Several changes arose out of the Derby betting yesterday after noon, and at one time it was doubtful whether Toni Tulloch, the Peri colt, Fancy Boy, or Humdrum would leave off premier ; Lord Maidstone's horse ultimately obtained that honour; Fancy Boy, against whom 9, 10, and 12 to 1 had been laid, taking the second place ; the Pen colt receding from 8 to 1 takers, 9 to 1 layers, and Humdrum closing at 10 to 1. Pyrrhus the First was in favour at 13 to 1, Crown Prince at 16 and 17 to 1, the Conjuror at 22 to 1, and Ingo at 25 to I, to which price Sting was also driven before the close of the room, Sir Tattoo Sykes gave way point by point, and at the close was ;friendless at 20 to 1. Several outsiders were backed, and the general prices at the break up showed that, as for the Chester Cup, the owners of the horses are not very sanguine. Mendicant was backed freely at 4 to 1 for the Oaks, and Mowerina at improving prices until she reached 18 to 1, taken. The last quo tations were as follows : DEBBY. 7 to 1 asst Lord Maidstone's Tom Tulloch—taken 8 to I agst Mr. Meiklam's Fancy Boy 9 to 1 agst Mr. Merry's Pen colt 10 to 1 agst Sir J.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—The most interesting and exciting week in the year to the sporting circles has at length arrived, and with it the doubts and difficulties attendant upon the decision of the first race in the world. I will not darell for an instant on the smaller races, for who cares anything about them when the Derby is undecided. This is the sixty-sixth imniversary of this important stake, and the number of entries far enoeed any on record, but of these entries four-fifths are very trash— mere platers—without the most distant chance of win ning ; in fact, the value of these animals vary from 15 to 4,000 sovereigns. Just imagine what chance can an animal value 20 sous. have against a flyer value 3,000 or 4,000 guineas ; but, to the point, out of 193 no minations, from thirty to thirty-three will come to the post, and as , fay as I am able to judge at the present time they will be the following :—Tragical, Joinville, Tom Tulloch, Poynton, Spithead, Crown Prince, Sir Edmund, Fancy Boy, Maid of Hampton, Hum drum, lago, Holloway, Sotades, Widred Pyrrhus the First, Malcolm, Premier, West Countryman, Peri colt, Mir Tatton Sykes, Traverser, Nutleaf, Broeardo, Cantley, Conjuror, Sting, Ginger, Blackie, Mo tilla, L'Hiromlelle, Cynynion, and one of Sir Gilbert Heathcote's, which he don't seem to know himself yet. To begin the filtration welmay dispose of the following as not having the shadow of a chance, viz., Tragical, Joinville, Poynton, Spithead, Sir Edmund, Maid of Hampton, Whdred, Malcolm, Premier, West Countryman, Traverser, Cantley, Blackie, Motilla, L'Hirondelle colt, and Cynynion. The above disposed of, there remain fifteen which I will form into two classes—first and second rates—and append their riders' names. As I have taken irtto consideration the trash first, I will follow up the same line of proceeding, and take the second rates next, leaving the first rates to Nvind up with : SECOND RATES. Jockey.

Fancy Boy Templeman Strong and speedy Humdrum F. Butler Very fast lago Simpson Rather slow Sting H. Bell Power and speed Pyrrhus S. Day Ditto Sotades Marson Ditto, Thus but shr Temairt from which to pick the winner—no very easy task. Sotadew and Humdrum, though speedy, will not win ; but, with lago, will form the vanguard. The race at the finish will be between Sting, Fancy Boy, and Pyrrhus. The first favourite of the winter will be disposed of easily, and it remains a toss up whether the cunning Pyrdras or the game Fancy Boy succeed the Merry Monarch on the Derby throne. Mark well the extreme outsider's movements --Sotades. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Monday. PEDESTRIANISM. MALLATRATT AND W ESTHALLT—This trial of speed, distance 125 yards, came on yesterday, we wish we could say " came eff," at the inclosed ground of the Old Hat, Ealing. The assemblage comprised a goodly number of the patrons of this branch of manly sports, for the race excited considerable interest, from the provincial reputation of Mallatratt,, of Mansfield, and the metropolitan fame of Westhall. Speculation -,vas active, the adds varying curiously, some parties laying out evens, others- getting on at 5 to 4 on Westhall, while the country 'party, sooner than not be doing, went in at 5 and 6 to 4 on Mallatratt. At a fe,w minutes past six the.men bounded from the scratch. Mallatratt was first to settle on his legs, and soon led by a yard, this, by the time 100 yards were covered, was aliberal two yards. Westhall Westhall was going on admirable, at and up to the handk e r chie f cliqehgained at every stride, till at the close there was no bes e t h at g an l, silken any thing, Dfallatratt's whole person, at the instant of rna hand, In th e N,est.ii, by bearing forward, first "brushed " the ba be the winner, but a few band, was " a thought" in advance, while onethdkeeortehhicren:,hie rather prematurely, declared Mallatratt to referee, tstemcopnirdessoprfoinnqouutnreyedprietv.e.a. tdheaatdhiliseadticumThwe men must accordingly as uncalled for, as both run again, on a day to be agreed on, or appointed by the stakeholder. Mallatratt declared he would not run again for the same stakes; this be must do (according to articles) or forfeit. Perhaps he may be ' accommodated by their being doubled. RICHARDS (the Shire's Novice) AND YOUNG TURNER.—These men walked seven miles-yesterday, at Southall, for 101. a-side. Richards took the lead at starting, and at the end of the first mile was 30 yards in advance. This distance he did not increase, as Turner walked evenly and strongly. In the sth and 6th miles Turner sowewhat de creased the interval between himself and his man, but in the last mile Richards shot out again, and walked in first by between 3o and 40 yards. The winner seemed considerably distressed. Time, hour and three minutes. one I PROVINCIAL BANK OF IRELAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

THE LATE MURDER IN THE CrrY.—On Monday evening, at eight o'clock, Mr. W. Payne, City coroner, held an in quest in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of John Oddy aged thirty-two, a bootmaker, who died from the effects of a stab, which he received from the hands of a man named Joseph Carter, at present in Newgate on the charge of murder. Thomas Spenserlof Dove-court, Monkwell-street, deposed that he was in the Crow public-house, Moor-lane, on the night of Tuesday last. Whilst there, the man Carter attempted to drink out of a pot of beer in the posses sion of the deceased. A quarrel ensued. Carter lefr, and returned after the lapse of seven or ten minutes, and pushed open the door with his left arm, and in his right h with deceasedand he held a knife under his coat. After passing a few words , Carter drew the knife from under his coat, and stabbed him in the stomach several times. Carter then made an attempt to escape, but he was caught hold of by u itness, who tripped him up, and the knife then fell from his hand. The jury having consulted, returned a verdict of wilful murder against Joseph Carter. SINGULAR AND ExTENSIvF. ROBBERY IN LIVERPOOL. —Between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday morning last, an extensive robbery was committed at the h F ranc is Barnes, book-keeper, Roscommon-street. Everton ouse of Mr. , under the foll ow i n g circumstances :—lt appears that immediately after breakfast that morning Mr. Barnes and his family left home, leaving no person to take care of the house except the servant-maid. Be tween the hours mentioned a knock was heard at the front door, which was opened by the servant, and instantly two men rushed in, seized hold of her, and fastened her in the water-caller. They then proceeded to ransack the house, and succeeded in finding and carry ing off with them a pocket-book, c ontaining s some gold rings, nine sovereigns and four half-so v ereigns, several ladles' dre, brooches, and ear-rings, a coral set in gold, three sets of window ' curtains, a black coat and vest, shirts, trousers, boots, and a variety of other articles. Bills were then printed, but no tidings of either the property or the thieves have since reached the eara of the police. •—idtiverpovl YIONIY and COMMERCIAL.

LOSS OF LIFE ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.— Dovxa, MONDAY.—A serious accident took place on the South- Eastern Railway yesterday afternoon. The express train left the town terminus at a quarter-past three o'clock, with but few pas sengers, comprising, in addition, to the engine and tender, a luggage van and two carriages. It stopped at Ashford at its proper time, near four o'clock, and on its departure the engine which is num bered 123, appeared in proper working order. On its arriving about midmay between Pluckley and Ileadcorn, distant from town about GO miles, and just as it had verged into a cutting, the passengers were startled by a sadden jerk, and an immediate cloud of dust and smoke enveloping the train. In a few seconds it was brought to a dead stop, and, as may be naturally supposed, considerable alarm was manifested amongst the passengers. The scene around too clearly told that an accident had happened. On looking out, they discovered that the engine and train had got off the line, and the former was lying on its side across the rails, it having struck the bank of the cutting and turned over. The vast quantity of steam that was issuing from the engine, and the ground being strewn with lighted coke, for a time prevented an examination as to the fate of the en gine-driver and fireman. In a few minutes, however, the unfortu nate engineer was discovered under the engine. The poor fellow, wo believe, was found alive, but ere he could be extricated, which occu pied some time, life was extinct. It was evident that he had made a struggle to escape, and had caught hold of the safety-valve with both hands, thinking that the engine would remain upright. Over turning, however, he was swung over and the engine fell on him. The stoker was thrown by the concussion on his feet on the siding, miraculously escaping the least injury. The guard was thrown from his seat, and also providentially escaped. None of the passengers were hurt. As soon as possible assistance was procured from Ash ford and Tunbridge, and in the course of a few hours the line was cleared, the passengers being taken on by the next train. The cause of the accident cannot as yet be ascertained. CAPTURE OF A GANG OF BURGLARS.—The notorious gang of thieves who have for the last twelve months infested this neighbourhood have at last, thanks to the vigilance of the Bristol police, been apprehended. Notwithstanding the many robberies these men have committed they have, till now, carried on their ope rations with complete impunity, their ingenuity and cunning com pletely baffling discovery. They were possessed of hour bre e riz implements made expressly: to facilitate theirhicde, a cu m t on la g rg th e h a o p les ecult in ar s back the bolts and fastenings. their hands for the purpose of drawing Edward Williams, Abra ham MlCha&, Charles stillborn, Ann William s, and Louisa stillborne these was s h ° a rt tte o rs " , ns d t oo m rs m , " Sic t'cw., robberies, committed in the , charged with being concerned n es of Gloucester and Somerset.

Mrs. George Dawson Hamer, who announced that various quadrilles costumee are already ar ranged, or in progress of being completed. The Lady Allesbnry will lead the minuet, and; will dance in it with three other stars of the aristocracy. All the Ladies Patronesses are to appear in the fancy dresses worn at the ball of the Court last year ; and the piece of tapestry worked by the ladies of Poland, and presented, by them to Lord Dudley Stuart, will also be exhibited on this attractive occasion. DREADFUL FIRE IN LIVERPOOL.—About half-past five o'clock yesterday morning a dreadful fire broke out at the corner of Slater-street and Wood-street, contiguous to the Music hall, which, for about two hours, created the greatest alarm among the inhabitants of that neighbourhood, and caused the destruction of property to a very large amount. The premises, which have now to a great extent been reduced to a heap of ruins, were the property of the late Mr. William Calloway, painter and paper-hanging manu facturer, of No. 26, Brownlow-street, who died a few weeks since. erected five or six years ago on the site of the old Deaf and and who willed them, we be lieve, to his widow. They were g D e u th m e b r School e a r i;d E s p y e e d e a e n e d aEhacri. elegy on h , n di d h g , fo rm ex ed teh al din to; along Slater-street and Wood-street a considerable way, and being four s t o ries in height from the level of the pavement. The fire seems to have been first discovered in that part of Mr. Cello way's third story which looks into Slater-street, and is on a line with Mr. Hunt's shop, but so rapidly did it extend, that the whole of the upper part of the premises was in a blaze when Mr. Hewitt, with the engines and fire brigade, reached the spot, about ten minutes to six o'clock. The flames quickly communicated upwards with the fourth story and the roof, and downwards also with Mr. DreaPer's show-room ; and for some time the conflagration threatened the most alarming consequences to the surrounding property. It was eight o'clock before the fire could be said to be completely subdued, and beams and floorings of the second and third stories,eon cem pletelv long before that time the entire of the roof had fallen wine,ilaneed thettie frames and sashes of twenty-six of the windows, b _ roi B he rie S n pea w k id er c ' h s r a eply to the THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS AND R. yesterday.
