TTIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY LITE?ATIJRE TIM BELLE OF 'THE VILLAGE. By John Mills, Author of " The Old English Gen tleman," 6-c. 3 Vols. Colburn. The euthor of this hook is well known to novel readers as a clever writer in his peculiar style. In the descriptive and field sports, and the details of a country life, he is inimitable ; but it wiil be found that when he brings us into more civilized circles he is not so felicitous in his endeavour. The Squire Woodbee is very well put forth in his character throughout, but nevertheless much more interest is inspired by the rough and hardy, but honest and true, Corporal Crump. The ladies are most deplorable he roines—it is to be hoped that there are .not many living likenesses to them. They are two sisters, the daughters of a merchant prince, who was ruined prac tically, but managed to keep up appearances. It will be found that in the lower walks of life more talent is displayed by this author, and the lovers of the ludicrous and witty repartees will delight in many scenes here met with : AMERICAN NEWS. " • Here's 'a heath to the King!' said the loyal coach man, raising his glass. _ _ "' God bless responded a voice, and upon exa• mining the quarter whence it proceeded, the cauliflower head of Corporal Crump was detected. " Since you put a kind of amendment to my toast,' said the coachman, addressing the corporal at a distance, and holding out his glass, perhaps you it take a sip with me before I'm off, mate.' " We're not blessed with a superabundance of good offers in this worll , ,' replied the old soldier, rising from his position of perfect ease, and coming forward. " Truer words were never spoken, mate,' rejoined Jonathan, who, in personal appearance bore a striking resemblance to his companion the guard; and when we do catch one, we should put as much store ,by it as a pearl dropped in a hail-storm.' Right,' added the corporal; and as he delivered the moeosyllable he received the proffered glass from the coachman's hand, and, to the infinite surprise of the bystanders, drained it to the last drop. " There must be,' continned he, with great gravity, at the finish of his draught, no heeltaps where the King's concerned.' " Well!' returned the coachman, rolling his head from side to side, while the guard administered a few playful digs in his ribs, and appeared on the point of making every button fly from his garments with the ex cess of mirth et seeing his friend sold,' as ho called it, I t han't forget that fur the time to come.' "` He is dead now,' said the Squire musingly; but not many years since there was a great man on 'Change, one whose reputed wealth and position made him an ob ject of adulation and worship, and sycophants were ever bowing at the shrine—among them myself.' "‘ But I bated him, Starkie,' continued he, as the veins again roped across his brow, with the envy of a heart burning to be what he was. I know not how or why he came to occupy my thoughts, but sleeping or waking I dreamt of this man, and his power was that which I longed to grasp. " At the time of which I am speaking I was little noticed by far less important persons, and he had but a slight visionary idea that we had ever met before, when once we parted, although, perhaps, but the short date of yesterday intervened. In short, he was the great man on 'Change, I a no- body.' " Revolving years, however, bring revolving changes. I grew rich, and, knowing it, took care that others should know it too. He, the great man on 'Change, be came poor, and knowing it, did all in his power to pre vent the information from spreading beyond the limits %is own breast. We were being worked upon by ex actly opposite causes, and yet these brought U 3 together in closer union than, at one time, could have been con jectured possible. He wanted assistance, I rendered it; be wanted more, I gave him more; and, not losing my own depth, the great man on 'Change was under there 1' and Tobias Woodbee struck a thumb on the edge of his seat, and pressed it till the blood faded from the nail. 6 , 6 The storm thickened, clouds lowered upon the house, but no expenditure was retrenched, no scheme abandoned, no venture given up. Ruin gradually stole upon him like the darkness of night falling around; but he still remained the great man on 'Change. 66 6 It was now, being unable to do without me, that I became his constant guest, and one more honoured never toasted in a mansion wherein luxury reigned paramount. It was, indeed, a palace in which he lived, and all that art could do, or money purchase, met the eye in weary ing profusion.'' COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, SATURDAY. Yesterday was the birthday of his Roy a l Highness Prince Alfred. The band of the 88th Regiment assem bled on the terrace at Osborne at seven o'clock in the morning, and played for nearly an hour, and again from two to three o'clock in the afternoon. The Duke of Northumberland arrived on a visit to her Majesty; and remains to be in attendance during her Majesty's marine excursion.

The deputation consist-d of Lord Courtney, Mr. Vincent, Mr. Drury, Mr. Deeks, Mr. Warrington, and Mr. Charles Tbrupp. Mr. Stapleton had an interview with the Earl of Derby on Saturday, at his official residence in Downing street. By the Royal mail steam-ship Asia, Judkins corn maecler, which arriviti is the Mersey at 5 . 10 r. m., we have advices from New Yolk to the 28th ult. She has 324,000 dolls, in specie on freight.

The steam-ship Empire City arrived at New York on the 25th with 1,149 ; 031 dolls. in gold dust, and a large amount in the, hands of passengers. The United States' Secretary of State, Alr.Webster, left Boston on the 25th for his residence at Marshfield, where he was received with much warmth. The Hon. Mr. Sprague, in his address to the Secretary, alluded to the responsible duties now devolving upon him with 'regard to the fisheries question ;. and Mr. Webster, in reply, said— " Gentlemen,—Mr. Scra;.zue has been pleased to refer to recent occurrences. As to some of them, or at least to one, it may not be fitting in me to say one word now. The time has not come. But I would say, I may venture to hope, without presumption, that I am not en tirely unknown at home or aeroad—(Cries of 6 No, no !')—and,l say further, if I have anything good and valuable, rhold it in my own keeping, and will not trust it to the waywardness of others. Friends and neighbours, the time you offer me this welcome is not altogether inappropriate.. lam about to be among you. The place I occupy must soon be vacated in the ordinary 'course of events, and it may be vacated very shortly. lam sensible of the kind manner in which the events of my life have been recited. I am willing to admit that I am glad to receive the approbation of my coun trymen, in any manner they may be disposed to express o r e f n P m; s o v a i l d l e u la d c es e i a to nd by th M e r. fa S v p o r u a r gue ( i i it—l am willing to believe in relation to the occur rences try that hy cou th n eh m ies e s n i , ng l have done something to uphold the constitution and li berty, Red maintain the rights of my country. There is an end to all human labours and efforts. I am no longer a young man ; but I am thankful, nevertheless ' for to enjo y the measure of strength I still enjoy. I hope , the pleasure of your kindness and society for some years to come, if such may be the pleasure of the Almighty. Mr. Sprague has made allusion to recent occurrences, threatening disturbances on account of the fisheries. It would not become me to say much on that subject until I speak officially, and under direction of the head of the Government. And then I shall speak. In the meantime be assured that that interest will not be neglected by this Administration under any circum• stances. The fishermen shall be protected in all their rights of property and in all their rights of occupation. To use a' Marblehead phrase, they shall be protected, ' hook and line, and bob and sinker.' And why should they not? They employ a vast number. Many of our own people are engaged . in that vocation. There are, perhaps, ,among you scum who have been on the Grand Banks for forty successive years, and there hung on to the ropes in storm and wreck. The moat potent consequences are involved in this matter. Our fisheries have been the very nurseries of our navy. If our flagships have conquered the enemy on the sea, the fisheries have been at the bottom of it—the fisheries are where the seeds form from which these glorious triumphs were born and sprung. Now, gentlemen, I may venture to say one or two things more on this highly-important subject. In the first place, this sudden interruption of the pursuits of our citizens, which had been carried on more than 30 years without inter ruption or molestation, can hardly be justified by any principle or consideration whatever. It is now more than 30 years that they have pursued the fishing in the same water and on the same coast, in which and along which notice has now come that they shall be no longer allowed these privileges. Now, t hi s cannot be justified without notice. A mere indulgence of too long con tinuance, even if the privilege were not an indulgence, cannot be withdrawn at this season of the year, when our people, according to their custom, have engaged in the business, without jhst and seasonable notice. I cannot but think the late dispatches from the Colonial office had not• attracted to a sufficient degree the atten tion of the principal Minister of the Crown, for I see matter in them quite inconsistent with the arrange ment made in 1845 by the Earl of Aberdeen and Ed ward Eveketi,'. ' - Then the Earl of Derby, th e pre sent First Minister, was Colonial Secretary, I t could not well have taken place without his know ledge, and, in fact, without his concurrence or sanction. I cannot but think, therefore, that its being over looked is an inadvertence. The treaty of 1818 was made with the Crown of England. If a fishing -vessel is captured by one 'of her vessels of war, and brought in for adjudication, the Crown of England is answerable, and then we know who we have to deal with. But it is not to be expected that the United States will submit their rights to be adjudicated upon in the petty tribunals of the provinces, or that they will allow our vessels to be seized by constables and other petty officers, and con demned by municipal courts of Canada and Newfound land, New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia! No, no, no.— (Great cheering.)' Further than this, gentlemen, I do not think it expedient to remark upon this topic at pre sent, but you may be assured it is a subject upon which no one sleeps at Washington. I regret that the state of my health caused any absence from Washington when the news came of this sudden change in the interpreta tion of the treaties. My health requires relaxation. I shall feel it my duty, as soon as my health and strength will justify me in undertaking the journey, to return to my post and discharge the duties devolving upon me to the best of my abilities." It was reported in WashingtOn that the Committee on Commerce in the House of Representatives had prepared, and intended shortly to report, a British North American Reciprocity Bill, expressly provid ing that the north-eastern fisheries shall remain open to the fishermen of the United States. This, it was said, had been determined upon some time back. A telegraphic message, dated Philadelphia, July 27, says that the commandant of the navy-yard at that port had received orders to have the steam-frigate Saranac overhauled, provisioned, and manned with all possible dispatch. The Saranac would, it was said, form the vanguard of a fleet destined for the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In the navy-yards considerable and unusual activity was apparent. It was stated that .the. Lubeck fishing schooner, lately seized by . the ,British steamer Netly, and car ried into St. John's, New Brunswick, was, at the time of her seizure, off. Grand Menan. The captain of the seized vessel says that he ran in for bait, whil e the English say that he was fishing there. The case will be tried at the Admiralty Court at St. John's. The St. John's New Brunswicher of the 26th says, that Mr. Websterlabours under a mistake when he gives the impression by his circular that her Majesty's Government is about to enforce the convention strictly, according to the opinion of the law officers of England. Such the .News believes is not the case. For so me years past there ha s been a tacit understanding that American fishing-vessels should only be excluded from those bays and inlets of the coast which are less than six miles wide, and within which the American vessels could not of course fish unless within three miles of the land on either side. To do this the N ews thinks will be Sufficient, as nearly all the American vessels are,in' the habit of fishing near the shore during theibest of the fishing season. It was said that a large fleet of fishing vessels would sail from the seacoast towns of Massachusetts as s oon as they were assured of protection against the British cruisers. In the Senate, on the 27th, the Bill making appro. priatiod for; the construction of a ship canal around the Falls of St. Mary was taken up. Mr. Toucey said he would vote for the Bill, because this canal was necessary for the defence of the country. Mr. Bell saw no reason why this improvement should be singled out and all the others rejected. He denied that it was necessary for the defence of the country. In case of a war with Great Britain, that region of the country would need no defence. Great Britain would not= pretend to hold it against the vast popula tion of the United States in that quarter. He pur sued the subject further, contending that other works of improvement should not be delayed. He moved the Bill be laid on the table. Mr. Butler desired the whole subject of internal improvements to be discussed. Mr. Casa said that the friends of the Bill would show its importance. The Bill was postponed. The Democrats had a grand demonstration on the ta6th, on which day the delegates from New York and its vicinity proceeded in 15 steamboats to New bury, some 60 miles up the North River, for the purpose of attending the great ratification meeting, Accordiig to the Herald, some thousands of people were left behind owing to the incapacity of the steamers to carry any more passengers.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY. - The Fire Queen steam yaulit, under the command of Lieutenant Mason, of the Victory, the senior lieutenant of the fleet in commission, is ordered to proceed from this harbour to. Hyde, to embark her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Catherine of Russia, her husband (his Serene Highness the Prince George of Mecklenburgh), &c., and bring them to Portsmouth. The Daphne, 18, Captain Fansha we , was i ns pected and her crew mustered yesterday by the Commander-in- Chief Admiral Sir Thomas Brigs, G.C,M.G., and Captain Chads, C. 13., of the Excellent, who practised them in gunnery. She sailed this morning for Chatham to be paid off. The Niger, 14, (screw), Commander Leopold G. Heath, whose arrival at Queenstown we reported on Saturday, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon. Her Coast of African news we have already given. 137 her we learn also that the Firefly steam-sloop, Commander Seymour, had made a prize in June in the PORLZ% river, but she had no slaves on board. She also reports having passed on the 20th of July the wreck of a brig water logged, with the mainmast standing, and the mainyard hanging by the slings; the foremast had apparently been cut away. " Melrose " was on the port side of the stern ; poop round house painted yellow with white pannels, small topgallant forecastle, iron bowsprit, cap, and bobstays; hull black, with white riband; no rigging remaining. Latitude 37.40 N.; long titude 23.28 W. Also, July 30, the Niger boarded the Swedish ship Gerda, from Gottenberg to New York, with emigrants, all well. Latitude 45.44 N.; longituke 17.54 W. She exchanged numbers also with her Ma jesty's ship Harpy, off St. Alban's Head, yesterday, and on her arrival at Spithead signalled to the flagship " Harpy astern," which was the first intimation the public received of the safety of the latter vessel, al though she made her number in Sir John Onamanney's waters, off Plymouth, on Friday. The Vivid s team-packet, Master- Commander Smithett, embarked her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent yesterday at Cowes, and conveyed her to Southampton en route to London. Ten North Sea pilots arrived at this port on Friday by railway from Dover for service in the ships of the Royal steam squadron and armed escort. After report. ing themselves to the Commander-in-Chief, he dis patched them to Spithead in his fLig-ship's pinnace , and put them on board the respective ships of the squadron. Three, out of the four 120 three-deckers on the stooks in Portsmouth Dockyard are ordered to be adapted to the screw. The No. 3 (Edward) transport arrived at Spithead to-day from the West Indies, with a detachment of the 34th Foot from Trinidad, and one of the 26th Foot from tarbadoes. The Wasp, 14, Commander Bereham, arrived at Spit head this afternoon from the coast of Africa. The Furious, 16, advance steam-frigate, completed the adjustment of her compasses on Saturday, and remains ready for commission. The Sprightly, port steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, went to Cowes this morning with letters, &c., for the Royal steam squadron, and on her return she brought in supernumeraries from the Harpy. She sails on Monday with supernumeraries for Plymouth and Rear-Admiral Corry's squadron. The Dasher steam-vessel, Commander Lofavro, bus sundry defects to make good, and her crew have been placed on board the Blonde hulk while she is being com pleted. PLYMOUTH, Arcs. .7.—Two line-of-battle -ships and two frigates, supposed to be a portion of Admiral Cor ry's fleet, were observed by the Brunswick steamer, Captain Harvey, on Wednesday last, at 7 A.M., running towards Torbay.

THE SCHOONEII RENOWN. —The stores and cargo of this vessel were yesterday being shipped for London, under consignment to the owners, Messrs. Reynolds and Son, of Se Ancirew's-wh. crf. Up to the present time more than 1,609 pigs of iron ballast have been recovered by the divers, who havo made a point of surveying the state of the vessel at every tide. With the exception of the starting of the sterepost when she first struck on the sand, they report there are no indications of her having received injury, nor has she embedded herself to any eet ex- tent, being only keel d line PeeP ee forwerd, and her three -f mark aft brieg o n a with the sand. She is there fore in a fe.vourable pNition for being raised, which will be attempted so soon as the whole of the cargo has been removed.

The Cruiser screw steam -sloop, recently launched at Deptford, has been taken into the basin at this port, to have her engines of 60-horse power put on board. The Agamemnon, 90, screw steam-ship of 600 horse power, has now all her boilers and both her cylinders on board, and is to be tak en out of the inner basin on Monday, the 16th inst., and will then be taken into the east dock to be coppered, and the other works required expedited, as great exertions are being made to ma k e her ready for sea to test her qualitiesit being in con templation to build other vessels of her class us soon as possible. The figurehead' of the Windsor Castle, originally constructed at Pembroke as a 120-gun ship, but subse quently cut in two and lengthened so as to carry 140 guns, and intended to be fitted kith engines and a screw propeller, was brought down to Woolwich from BlaCk wall in a barge, and taken on shore preparatory to the various pieces of which the figure will be formed being sent to Pembroke. Some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the figurehead of the Windsor Castle when it id stated that it eOntaistS of a lion rampant, supportiug a large shield with ha two fore paws. The figure of the lion stands 18 feet in height, pith a noble head, dis tended nostrils, and wide open mouth, showing its powerful teeth. The mane is large and raised, and the tail, nine feet in length, is lashed round, as if the animal was in the act of springing on its prey. The circum ference of the hind legs at the middle joint is three feet, and the proportions of the whola figure are admirable. A representation of Windsor Castle has been made in raised carving on the shield, and when the figurehead is put up on the splendid steamship for which it is in tended, it must have a fine effect. TILE MISSING STEAMER BART): The Ilarpy steam-vessel, about whose safety so much apprehension had been felt, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday evening. The Harpy is an iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel of 350 tons and 200-horse power. She was built for river service, and consequently had the power o f spreading but a small quantity of sail; a quantity quite inadequate to her size. She has been employed for so me time on the southeast coast of America station, acting as tender to the Centaur, flag-ship of Rear-Ad miral Henderson, on that station, and being under the command of Lieutenant Thomas Drinkwater Williams, who was appointed to her in November, 1851. Since t h e appointment of Lieutenant Williams to the Harpy, he had made several reports of defects in her machinery, particularly as to her boilers, and ultimately a survey was made, and these latter were found so exceedingly defective as to render her immediate return home neces sary. She was consequently ordered to England on the ISth of April last, when she left Rio Janeiro, touching at Bahia, which she Left on the sth of May. She then called at Pernambuco, when she took in water and pro visions, and made up her stock of coal to 150 tons, a 3 large a quantity as she could possibly carry, and amply sufficient to take her to St. Vincent, which was the ob ject of her commander. Soon after leaving Pernambuco, however, the condi tion of her boilers became much worse, being so defective and leaky that steam could only be got up to the requi site force by the expenditure of a large quantity of coal, and when it did reach that force the boilers would give out or burst, and the steam escape. This state of things continued for days and weeks, and there was no help for it ; the vessel being so devoid of sailing capabilities she was almost entirely dependent on her steam power, al though Lieutenant Williams adopted every possible means of supplying the deficiency is her spars and sails. Even these efforts availed little, from the prevalence of light and variable winds, and the consequence was that no progress was made, whilst the whole of the coals were being rapidly consumed. At length resort had to be had to other descriptions of fuel, in the shape of spare or valueless stores ; these were converted into fuel for the engines, and then the cabin doors were taken down, and. together with coal bags, tables, and stools, and at length some pitch and resin, were used for the purpose of securing the satety of the ship and the lives of her officers and crew. Under these circumstances it was the 13th of July before the Harpy reached Fayal, being 58 days from Pernam buco, and having on board only half a tank of water, and all sorts of provisions equally scarce. The officers and crew had been for some time upon two-thirds the usual allowance, and for a short time on one-half, whilst they suffered most severely from thirst, only a pint of water a day per man being served out. The supply of water could not have lasted to this extent had not Lieutenant Williams taken the precaution at an early period of the voyage, of saving the condensed steam, which he had collected as often as necessary, and put into the water tanks. Nothing but the greatest efforts on the part of the officers and crew could have brought the ship into port or have saved their own lives. Having completed her stock of water, coals, and pro visions, the Harpy left Fayal for Portsmouth on the 23d of July, reaching Spithead, as already stated, on Satur day evening. She has brought ho me invalids fro m the squadron, two distressed British subjects, a passeng e r from Fayal, and four Kroomen, intended for St. Vincent, which place the Harpy could not reach.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—The committee of the Royal Western Yacht Club having determined that the match for the Town Plate of 501., which was brought to a pre mature close on Thursday last in consequence of the War Hawk carrying away her mainmast, should he sailed for again on Friday, it accordingly took place at the appointed hour, and led to one of the most interest ing matches ever recorded in the annals of yachting. The contest was confined to two of those who started on a former occasion—Lord Londesborough's Musquito and Mr. Cragie's Volante—as it was found impracticable to get the repairs of the War Hawk completed in sufficient time for the start, On this occasion, by the courtesy of Mr. J. C. Thie rens, the sailing committee were stationed on board his splendid yacht the Fleur do Marie, which was gaily dressed in colours from stem to stern. She was moored off the Hoe, a little further to seaward than on the other days, and every accommodation was afforded by the owner for the performance of their duty. In consequence of the gale thar was blowing at the time for starting, the committee, with a view of prevent ing a similar accident to that which had been the cause of this match being renewed, decided that the course should be from the committee-vessel to Penlee Grey stone-buoy, around which, and returning by the Cobbler and the committee-vessel, keeping all on the larboard hand, and so on four times round the course. The yachts were described as follows: Musquito, 50 tons—Lord Londesborough. Volante, 48 tons—Mr. J. L. Cragie. At lb. 6m. 153., all being in readiness, the signal-gun was fired, and one of the finest starts ever witnessed was made by the Musquito. She appeared to fill every sail in an instant, and, in a few seconds afterwards, she was bending under a press of sail, leaving the Volante some distance astern. The Volante, having the worst position, suffered to a considerable extent in being becalmed by her opponent, and this gave her the appearance of lazi ness in getting well under weigh, but she had no sooner done so than she seemed determined to regain the dis tance she had lost from the start. Such, however, was the way the Musquito had got on her by the superior handling of her master, that the Volante could not over haul her; and, atter a most exciting round, during which the greatest skill and energy were displayed on both sides, it concluded as follows: h. to. sec.

Tho Mosquito, however, not only did not s ee m to suffer by it , but even to increase the distance between them, and, afte r a splendid run, again became the victor of the round, by which, from the subjoined statement it will be seen that the Volante lost 32 sec.

Although uesuccessful on this occasion the greatest praise is due to the sailing master of the Ve lento for the skill displayed by him in her navigation. It is but justice to the Vulante to mention that although thrice beaten this season by the Mosquito, viz. , at Lowestoft and twice at Plymouth, yet last season alio beat the Mosquito, and became the absolute winner of the Thames Challenge Cup by having won it two year s in succession. Sh e a l so won the Thames Y ac ht Club Cup against the Mosquito in the same year.

I am not, however, in a position at present to state the re sult of the interview which the deputation had with the Right Hon. Baronet, though I have made inquiry for that purpose of Mr. Woodman. Up till this time that gentleman has received no information on the subject, but he was able to apprise me that Sir George Grey had left Falloden this morning for Scotland on a visit to Lord Panmure, a circum stance leading to the inference that the Right Hon.

BUCKIN GHAMSHIRE. The directors of this company in their half-yearly re port, to be submitted to the proprietors on Friday, state they regret that the Bill for the proposed junction line between this company's lines and the lines of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, near Oxtord, which passed the House of Commons, was rcji.cted in the Lords. They trust, however, that a junction so greatly required in order to promote the interests of the district, will nevertheless be ultimately sanctioned by Parliament. The directors will propose at the special meeting a reso lution authorising the conversion of the 17/. 10s. shares into stock—a step to which they anticipate the unani mous approval of the proprietors. The revenue account of the 30th of June last shows that the half-year's rent received from the London and North-Western Company to the 31st of December, 1851, being at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on 1,245,0001. amounted to 24,000/.

The working expenses vvero 7,4791., being at the rate of about 46 per cent. upon the receipts. .The reserve fund is debited with a sum of 7181., not directly chargeable to the half-year's expenditure. The directors propose that the sum of 5091., being the balance of last half-year's revenue, together with 751., be taken from the reserve fund, and added to the net revenue of the half-year, making a total of 2,5071., equal to a dividend at the rate Th Chic will electric i ll telegraph leave t o o ff reseperrve e fund p e 3 r .7 a B n B n l .0 Theannum. e is b n a o la w nc in e operation on the line, and has been found highly useful in the traffic arrangements.

' SELF•ACTING BREAKS TO RAILWAY CARRIAGES, On Wednesday morning last a trial was made on the South-Western Railway of a means of applying self acting breaks to railway carriages, with a view to pre vent accidents. At five o'clock a..x, a luggage train, consisting of 27 loaded waggons, three patent self-acting break carriages, and one break van, drawn by two engines, left the station at Nine Elms for Windsor, stop ing at all the stations, and gradually reducing the number of waggons to four. On all occasions of stop ping, it appears, the breaks acted satisfactorily; when the speed was great and the stoppage sudden, the self acting breaks brought the wheels to a " dead lock," on other occasions not applying themselves so forcibly. When the train was backed the breaks were instantane ously thrown out of action by the guard, and the busi ness of the line carried on as if no experiment was being tried.
