APPREHENSION OF DESERTERS FROM FO. REIGN SHIPS BILL. Mr. HENLEY moved - the third reading of thi s Bil l. Mr. ANSTEY complained of the retention of the third clailee, after the President of th e B oard of Trade had consented to its omission, and which subjected to a penalty of. 101., to be imposed at the discretion of the justices ; any person who harboured or assisted in the concealment or reception of a deserter from a foreign ship. The hardship of the measure would be very great, particularly in the nano of fugitive slaves, who would be claimed t o b e g i ven up not as slaves but as deserters. What the Right Hon. Gentleman should have done was simply to extend the provisions of the Mercantile Marine Act to eases of desertion from the ships of foreign powers. He objected also to the Bill, that it proposed to arm the Queen in Council with Power to legislate without the advice of Parliaaoent. He should, therefore, move as an amendment, that it be read a third time that day three months. Mr. HENLEY could assure the Hon. Gentleman that he had removed everything from the Bill that did not a pply to the roerehant service. Upon the subject of harbouring deserters, it was ouly an extension of the law at present in force with regard to desertion frcm E nglish'ships, and was not in any way inteinied to ap p to slaves. Lord D. STUART opposed the Bill, es being neithern e c essary n or called for by this m ercantile interest, for while only one petition had been presented in its favour, several had been presented against it. The am en d ment was neeatived without a division, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. The Ken nington-common, &c., Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE—ADJOURNED DE BATE. On the pleStion that W e d nes d a y, the 16th of Jane, be the day fixed for resuming the adjourned debate, to which Wedsendment 'bed been moved that it be adjourned to esdaynext, Mr. REYNOLDS objected to the postponement of the debate to June 16. The Elan.

The Wile Secretary had on that occasion made a speech p Ich he (Ur.

Becaus e th ey had tailed to raise a cry of pro on in this country—because they had failed in set 'lg e people by the ears on a question of the supply ef food, they had raised a no-Po quo cry.

A House wt of the public were anxious to leeow if the House , ould, by a reeolution, declare whether they considered I' ere was-a necessity or not for an inquiry. He had riot the least wish to postpone the solution of that ques tion; and he was desirous ot having a time fixed for re -I;,' w ing and concluding the discussion. But ha and other Ina. Members who took au interest in the question were hound to see, when the question came on for discussion; that it should come on upon a day when there would be a full IT House, Lot upon a day when there would be a anty attendance or the chance of a thin division. Act tng in the spirit of fair play to the Hon. Member whom he represented and t o o all parties, he W 8.4 bound to s:e that the discuuien took place in a full House. He had uo ob;eotion to Wedeetaay next beyond the eircum- Stance of it being* a day not usually devoved to discus sion. It was that reason which he. , l led him to fix th e subject for thel6ll4une, He was well assured Patlieneent woald not seperate until that day, and he felt confident that there would ho a full discussion and corresponding division. lie could assure the site w ßouse that his only de as to see that the question, received no unfair THE SUN, play. 'll. O- was the reason of fixing upon the 16th of June. Mr. GLADSTONE w-s glal the Hon. Gentleman hail responded to the eppEal. No one was more inte rested in the rejection of th e motion then the H on. limber for whom the Hon. Gentleman appeared,— (Hear.) .The Hon. - Gentleman had declared that he wished the. discussion to trNe place in a full House. Ho trusted, the Hoe would under . o eirctun -6 rgreref°tom m n the motion for the 16th o f June.— igt:eds, the re (Hear, hear.) It would not be creditable to the House t o agree to meet . on that doubtful d oy . It would nor, be consistent. with the dignity of the House or the feelings of the people, in a matter of great publi c in terest to the foelinn of the people, test its disouision should be postponed until nearly the close of Parlia ment. Either the Hon, Member wished the discussion to go on, or he did not. lle (Mr. Gladstone) had dis 'cussed the motion as a bona fide 'motion, fl d. if the -mo tion was really bona fide, the Housenught to come to a solution of the question involved in it. Were the House and the country to be told they could not find a day on which to discuss and conclude this question? Why not name a morning sitting?—(Hear, hear.) .. 11r. NEWDEGATE—WiIt yOu matte a Motion to that effect? Mr. GLADSTONE—It was not for him to point oat the course which the Hon. Gentleman ought to take. If he wished the inquiry to proceed, let . him ask rho House to meet on Saturday or Tuesday, or to hold a morning sitting; and until the House had refused the demand, do not let the Hon. Gentleman talk of the difficulty of finding a day.—(Bear, hear.) It was not to the credit of the Roue to permit the question to be . vaguely dealt with. Colonel GILPIN said the public felt strongly on this question, and were anxious for the House's decision, not withstanding the cleverness of the Right Hon. Gentle man (Mr. Gladstone's) arguments, which argumehts were; like all his arguments, accompanied with disguise. —(llear, hear.) It was not the Hon Gentleman'., fault that he could not get a day named earlier than the 16th of June. Mr. KEOGH thought the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Gladstone's) argument and recommendation had been misapprehended. Every Member in the Hotise was convinced of the perfect inutility of the 16th of June being fixed for the further discussion of this question. Ho agreed with what had been said on this side of the House, that it was important to come to some decision on the question. Whose was the fault that they were dis- CtlS3ilo,g in a moribund Parliament what day the debate should be reanmed? Surely the Hon. Gentleman (hlr- NeWdegate) and they who acted with him Would .see it was not practicable to take the last. day of the session for a debate upon this question. 'Why did the Honourable Gentleman not adopt the practical proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Gladstone), of .a morning siting?—(Hear.) If the Hon. Gentleman really wanted a Committee, as he said, he wall knew a Committee could not be nominated before the dissolution of Parliament. Even if the Committee were appointed, it could not enter upon the question with any hope of coming to a determination upon it. Let the Hon. Gentleman throw off the math, and after all the shuffling; on the other side of the House, let him do what he said he was anxious to do, and no opposition would be offered by him or Hon. Members on hiS side of the House. Mr. WALPOLE agreed with the Right Hon. Gentle man (Mr. Gladstone), if the debate was postponed to the 16th June it would make the inquiry futile.—(Hear.) But he also thought it would, for otivioua reasons, be inexpedient to name next Wednesday. What, then, were they to do? They were nearly approaching the end of the session, and all were agreed that no practical con clusion could be come to if the discussion was postponed until a tew days before Parliament ended. It seemed to him that there was only one of two courses to adopt— either to discharge the order altogether—(llsar)—or to move the adjournment of the debate until next Tours day, in order te give the Hon. Gentleman oh opportu niv for considering what day could he fixed.—(enies of " Fix the day.") Well, then, he had no objection to fix the day immediately. Ho would be the last Man to wish the discussion to he delayed. He must take the opportunity of saying, es allusion had been made to his speech the other night, that it had been much rnisunder soao.l, and that the 'Hon. Gentleman opposite had not put the correct construction on it. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer had cor rectly described the construction to be put upon his speech. Sir B. HALL hoped the motion for Wednesday next would be withdrawn, for after the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Walpole) it was clear the day for discussion rested entirely with the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Newdegate) ; and if the lion. Gentleman did not take the offer now made, this would bo said by the country—Thera are two questions you desire to go to the hustings upon—the one is Protection—(oh) which you have entirely thrown over—(Oh, oh)—and the ether is the Ilaynooth question, which you wish to postpone indefinitely.—(Hear, hear.) That intention, however, it would be his duty to defeat. At this mo ment the town of Liverpool was placarded, to the effect that the Hon. Candidate would vote against the grant. It was necessary, therefore, to come to a speedy decision on the question. Sir J. TYRELL would say nothing to aggravate the important question before the House, but he would not shrink from avowing that he had just advised his Honourable Friend (Mr. Nowdegate), in consequence of what had fallen from Government, to avail himself of the suggestion thrown out, and to name Tuesday next for resuming the discussion at eleven o'clock. That was his proposition. Knowing that the question had excited much attention in and out of the House, it would be unbecoming o n the part of the Legislature not to come to a speedy decision upon it. Had it not been for the Papal aggression, Hon. Gentle men opposite would never have heard of this motion. Mr. GOOLD objected to the form of Mr. Spooner's motion, as calculated to excite had feeling in Ireland. Mr. FORBES would best meet the feelings of the Helene by , moving that the debate be adjourned—(No, no!)—to Tuesday, at eleven o'clock. Mr. ANSTEY wished to ask the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire, whether it was intended to fix an early day, end if so, to go on de die in diem? In that case he would withdraw his motion, which was only brought forward to insure an early day. Mr. NEWDEGATE replied, if the House assented to the Hon. Gentleman's (Mr. Forbes) motion; it would meet his views. _ _ _ The motion was. put and carried for resuming the de bate on Tuesday next, at twelve o'clock. IN FRAMISRAL INTERMENTS BILL. Lord J. MANNERS moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws concerning the burial of the dead in the metropolis: The Noble Lord briefly stated the objects of the Bill, and added, at a future stage he would enter more fully into the details. Mc. WAKLEY complained that nothing had been done by the Board of Health with reference to carrying out those sanitary measures for the very purpose of which that board had been instituted. Mr. STANFORD hoped at a future stage of the Bill the Noble Lord would give a clear and a lull statement of the cause of failure of the late Governinent Bill. Viscount EBRINGTON said her Majesty's late Go vernment took every means in their power to prevent the cause of failure of the late Sanitary Act. Great efforts had been made, to suppress the truth, and notiaing was more unsatisfactory than the conduct of her Majesty's late Goiernment with re3pe , ct to that Act. Lord SEYMOUR said, when the circumstances came under discussion ho should be prepared to defend the conduct of Government. The fact was, the Board of Heath had misled the late Government, especially with reference to their power to raise money. lie hoped the House would allow the Bill to be brought in, as by that means a discussion would bo raised which would pro duce all the information relative to the late Act which could be desired. Tile Bill was brought in and read a first time. • In reply to a question, Sir J. PAKINGTON said he fully hoped to be able to bring en the New Z-aland Bill this day (Friday). Sir J. PAKINCTTON brought in the Colonial Bishop rics Bill, which was read a first time. The Hulse adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock. COURT CIRCULAR.

NEWS'VEN.DERS' BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT SOCIETY. The thirteenth annual general meeting of the above society was held. last night at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet street; James Harmer, Esq , in the chair. Mr. COLE, the secretary,yead the annual report, which was of a very satisfactory character, and it congratu lated the leembers that during the past year not a single application had been .received for either benefit of the society, pension, or temporary relief, by any one of its members. The report next adverted to the eminent services the society had received from John Forster, Esq., who had presided at their anniversary dinner, sup ported as he Was by Charles Dickens, Esq., with many other highly-gifted, literary, and influential gentlemen, which had been crowned with• great success, producing for the benefit of the society 1741, The committee also had the pleasure of announcing that since the last meeting 1251. had been added to the capital of the society, making a permanent investment in the public funds ut 1,3751., besides a balance in' cash of 91. 9s. The report ex pressed great regret that their highly-esteemed treasurer, Mr. Merrett, had tendered his resignation in consequence of his advanced age and infirmity rendering the duties too burdensome to him. The report, in conclusion, in dulged a hope that ere many years had passed the News venders' Benevolent and. Provident Institution would be considered, from its ability to relieve the distressed and shelter the afflicted, one of the noblest ornaments of the metropolis. Mr. WILD moved " That the report just read be adopted, printed, and cirenlnte& among the ,subscribers and friends of the institution." , In support of this reso lution, he said that the society was going on in a very satisfactory manner, and he might mention as a fact, that of all the applications for temporary, relief, not one in four came from members of the society, but from those persons mainly wit; had been improvident in their youth and, had laid up nothing, and made no 'revision - for the day of trouble. Mr. GILBERT seconded the 'resolution, and regretted to find that they had not ye; touched the chord that should Malec° the collateral branches, or even of the trade itself, to subscribe to the funds of the society, as not one out of forty of the newseendera of the metro polis and its vicinity were contributors in supp4t of this institution. He did hope, therefore, that some effort. would be made to increase the number of annual sub scribers, and that such plan would receive a considerable degree of encouragement on the present occasion. As a preliminare to' this object ho suggested that a cheap supplernenterY annual dinner should be got up, where even the poorest class of the trade, with the masters, might attend to concert and organize measures for their common welfare and benefit. The resolatian was then put and agreed to. Mr. TERRY Moved the next resolution :—" That the thanks of the members are largely due and are hereby tendered to John Forster, Esq., the chairman, and the, stewards, for their able and zealous services at the an nual dinner." The CHAIRLIA.N said he spoke from personal observa tion when he said that nothing could have been more delightful then the meeting presided over by Mr. Forster, and thought they would do him but justice in passing that resolution. The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. BROWN, • a highly-laudatory 'address, moved the following resolution :—" That the best thanks of the members are due, and tendered, to Mr. Merrett, for his lung and faithful services as treasurer, with heartfelt sympathy for the' Cause of his retirement, and sincere hopes for his better health and future happiness." Mr. WALTER seconded the resolution, which was carried. , Mr. MERRETT returned thanks for the mark of fa- - your they had shown towards him as a humble labourer in the cause of the society, and expressed his determi ration, for the remainder of his life, to uphold its inte rests to the utmost of his power. Several other routine resolutions were put and agreed to, and Mr. Terry was appointed treasurer for the en suing year. A resolution of thanks was also passed to the press, and particularly to the daily journals, for their advocacy of the interests of this institution. Mr. L. WILD ilea proposed a resolution to the effect —". That the most grateful thanks of the members are due and tendered to James Harmer, Esq., for his able services upon tho present occasion as president, and his great and continued liberality to its funds." The motion was seconded by Mr. GILBERT, and car ried amidst much applause. Mr. HARMER, in acknowledging the compliment, said that he contributed to this institution because he owed great obligation to the newsreaders. His property had been mainly supported by them, and It would be un grateful in him not to support those who had supported him. Mr. GRAVATT moved—" That the thanks of this meeting are greatly merited, and are hereby most cor dially and gratefully acknowledged, and proterreel to the proprietors of those journals who have kindly ad vocate d in their columns the interest of the society." Mr. MERRETT seconded the motion, and stated that the vast improvement which had taken place in the con duct of the daily press, and the rapidity of publication, which had been brought to such perfection by machi nery, had tended greatly to the profit of the newsven ding trade. The resolution was carried. The greater part of the cedinanY then retired to the supper-room, where a very superior repast was provided; after which the usual loyal toasts, and "Prosperity to the Newsvesciers' Benevolent lastintionn were drunk with great enthusiasm, and the evening terminated in a very agreeable manner. DRITRY-LANE THEATRE. This establishment closed last evening for the season. A new abeaon is talked of, but the time of commence ment is not known. Mr. Bunn had announced in the bills that he would address the house, and ariebrdingly, after the opera of Der Freischiltz, he came forward, and, after a warm greeting, delivered the following speech, which was received with the liveliest expressions of mirth and approbation:— Me. Bann said—Custom exacts that a steward should pericelically give an account of his reckoning, or, in Parliamentary language, that a speech should be delivered at the wore of a session. Adopting, for one moment, the latter position, I should natu rall y be g in by saying-icy Lords and Gentlemen, I can • at length release you from further attendance here, and I um happy to be enabled to say that you can retire into your respective homes whenever you think proper to do so. It airerde me great satisfaction to assure you that I have received throughout an arda- OU3 seseioa the most cordial co-operation froni every maablr of my government, with one exception, end that I continue on the most friendly relations with our allies. Gettlemen of the louse of Commons—(addressing the gallerits) 7 -I beg to inform you that, although the esti mates for the year were framed with a view to the strictest economy, the receipts have not been found Neal to the expenditure—a feet naturally occasioned by a falling off in one important branch of revenue — our income-tax. At the same time it must be borne in mind that I have relieved you from very heavy taxa tion, as you can now come here for little more than one half of what you were' formerly accustomed to pay. To descend, however, from metaphor to facts. If our at tempts to give English Opera in as perfect a form as possible have not been so fully successful as could be wished, - it is no fault of yours, who have been ready to patroniie; neither is it, 'abstractedly, any fault of ours, who have also been quite ready to be patronised, I -as sure you. Bat the extensive plans which bad been laid down for your pleasure and our remuneration have been thwarted by. those who were unmindful of their duty either to one party or to the other. The eminent per formers attached to the theatre who have worked so loy ally through the season, will continue their exertions with untiring energy; and I beg to assure you that dur ing the recess our best efforts shall be directed to make the next season one of sack brilliancy as to place our art onnhat footing so much to be desired. The ladies and gentlemen I tilludei to have requested me to return their grateful thanks for your unceasing kindness to them; and for myself, I respectfully assure you that nothing on my part shall be wanting to merit that feel ing which you have ever been pleased to manifest to wards me.

Ye4terday afternoon the first flower show which has V.k(Ji pl. ea rtt these gardens this season was exhibited with unuEcal éclat. 42 might be expected from the hckwarinesa of the spring, the show was almost en tirely confined tO grembouse plants, which, however, were put forward in sufficient variety and beauty to more than compepsate fcr the absvme of our usual vernal flori culture. Some cf the varieties of cape heaths were par ticularly beautiful, and attracted much attention; but the display of azaleas 1V:43 unsurpassed by anything we have witnessed for some time part. SOMC very gorgeous devices in flowers, and a magnificent chow of hearts ease also came in for their fair share of admiration.

Oa Tuesday, James M. Bendel. Esq., President, in the chair, the paper read was " Observations on Arti ficial Hydraulic, or Portland Cement; with an account of the testing of the brick beam erected at the Great Exhibition," by Mr. G. F. White, Assoc. Inst. C.E. After detailing the experimente made by the late Sir Isatabart Brunsl, the paper noticed the peculiarities in the practice of toe English and foreign engineers in the use of cements' and limes. It was - stated that in Eng land the,natural cements were plentiful, and the mode c.f caastruction being eenerally in brickwork, quick set iag cements were pref erred ; ' whereas abroad the natural cement stones were, coMparatively &peeking, rare, and the use of bricks . rather the exception than the rule. In some cases it was found, that evetathe, best natural hy draulic limes did not set with sufficient rapidity, in salt water, to do away with the • necessity for using pczali, lanes, and some of the attempts made at various periods to substitute artificial pozzalanes for the expensive natural products of that nature, were then described. The unfavourable results of - these attempts, and • the 'manner in which: M. Vicat . explained them, were de tailed. A sketch, was then given of the course of iIiVQS. tigation followed in England by Mr. Frost and General Sir Charles Patley, from which it appeared, that until the introduction of the Portland Cements, no artificial compound bad been discovered which possessed the tam© —or greater, powers of resistance thaw those of the natural cements. The advantages of the Portland Ce meat were stated to be, thet it had nearly all the qua lities of rapid setting presented by the natural materials of the same class; and in addition, that as it was capa ble of supporting variable proportions of hand, it could be, used as a mortar, the rate of selling of Which might be modified fit will, an 4 i the polders of resistance which were stated to be _much greater than those of either the cements or the limes thus replaced. A general description of the manner in which the Portland Cement was now manufectured, and of the methods of testing the article, were then given, and it - appeared that after seven days the cahesive strength-of the neat cement wes equal to about 1001bs. oh the square inch; and that after six, months this became equal to not leas thflTe 4 talbs. per sqaare inch. M. Vicat had Fonts et C hause62s, that by ar t t i h fi e ci t i : stated, in 1851, in a communication to the. Mettles des alone, er what ho termed " overhurnt lime," it would be possible to form immense ca p a ble of re destroyed the natural cements, aucl the sisting the action of the waves- and. of the shingle upon the sea shore, ea action which it was well known rapidly mix tures, whether of natural or artificial peaalle"s• The several applications of the Portland cement as a. , concrete, as a mortar, and at "ie - stueco, were then alluded to, and reference wee made to the early failures in form ing large artificial blocks, and an account was given of pozzalanic the mode now adopted in :constructing them at Dover and Alderney harbours of s - refuge, and likewise of those' employed to protect the extreineties of the breakwater of Cherbourg. At Dover the hearting of the piers', below hightwater mark, was executed in blocks of con crete, composed of cement and shingle in the proportions of 1 to 10, and occupying about three-fourths of the volume of the separate materials measured in the dry state. Each block Contained from 30 cubic feet to 120 cubic feet, and weighed from 2 tons to 7 tons. At Al ebolofopk:ttlnii Cement Al derney a species of concrete composed of cement, sand, and shingle, was placed in a mould, with rubble stone, bedded irregularly in the mass, the proportions being about one part of cement to ten parts of foreign mate rials. At Cherbourg the system adopted was to build immense blocks of rubble masonry of not less than 712 cubic feet, and weighing abort 52 tons. These blocks were floated out from the places where they were con structed, and sunk as " pierro perdue;" but this had not on all occasions been able to resist the transporting power of the waves. The manner of using the cement was in the' form of mortar, composed of one part of cement to three parts of sand. It hard been stated by wa M s e . ln V in ic o u n t t , ty ' that aEtixa tip t it h be e idt;f p oon o r w toh e f r e s lcBo o sn f : resistance to compression absolutely required, in sub stances expoied to the action of the sea, must be at least equal t0'401133. 'per - Squire inch, VA of that to ten sion at least equal to 91bs. on the square inch. Now, the resistance of the artificial stone blocks, after an . in terval of nine mouths, ty:t3 not leis than 1,700113 a per square inch, when the effn't was one of compression, or than 2001bs. per square inch when it became an effort of tension, or little hitericeeto that of Portland stone itself. Attention was called to the fact, that the Portland Cement adhered.mare energetically to the Portland stone than to any other material. The degree of adhesion did not seem to depend se much upon the absorbent powers of the substaeees connected together by the cement, as upon some coincidence in the meaner of their crystal lizTlthi°6ll4plications of Portland Cement to the purposes r otafgeetsucwcoereforst:letxetderntoelcwonosrkisst in n er i e ts noticed.

THE PROBABLE FATE OF THE CANDIDATES FOR THE SEVENTY-THIRD DERBY. (Continued from No. CCXXX. ) TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—ln continuing my remarks on the Newmarket division of the Derby horses, the 'next that invites my attention is Mt. Walker's 'or c TREASURER, by Veru lam cut of Makeless. This horse is much fancied by his owner and certain parties at head-quarters, principally upeu the strength of Cavan's running,. to whom be is eight or ten pounds superior. This, however, in my opi nion 4 does not warrant my placing any faith in hint for the Derby. General Anson's b e by Orlando, out'of the Princess, has managed to run up twice this year; but the winner in each instance haying been anything but first-rate, his chance is a forlorn hope. Lord Clifden's once extensive string will, if it is re presented on the Downs at all, be so by SACKBUT, the son of Touchstone and Concertina or Poodle. I need not glance at these horses' perfortrAnees, for they are very inferior, and they cannot possibly win on Wednesday next, Mr. Armitage's HIERARCHY, by Charles XIL, out of Remember, was some time since said to be a starter; but whether it turns out to be seer not matters little, as he cannot win, Having concluded my remarks on the Newmarket horses, I shall now turn my attention to those in the northern stables, commencing with Fobert's. Lord EglintOn's b c CLAVERHOUSE, by Birdcatcher, out of Blue Bonnet, by Touchstone, out of Maid of Melrose, by Brutandarf —Whisker—Orville, as a two years old ran four times and walked over once. His first essay was, considering his condition, his worst; as, in running for the July Stskee f iirkon.,.t.o. finish. down w ent his tail and all was over, Hobbie. Noble winning in a canter by two lengths. The second performance, in direct opposition to the first, was his best; for, car rying Bst 101 b, he won the Ham Stakes very easily by two lengths, beating .Harbinger, Bst 71b, and eight others! At the same meeting he was fourth to Finns; but being at the time dead amiss it was somewhat ab surd to start him. His fourth appearance was at Don caster, where he won the Municipal Stakes easily, beating three inferior animals. • This horse has been doing first-rate work for a length of time, and is very much fancied in the North. As I once before remarked, he is.somewhat slow, but possessed of first-rate staying qualities, and his build is well suited to the Derby coarse. I entertain a very respectable opinion of his chance, and expect io see him finishing in one of the first four places. Lord Z9tland's ch c AUGUR, by Birdcatcher, out of Castanette's dam, ran twice last year and walked over once. At Yolk he won the Cult Sapling Stakes from Young Hawthorn by three or four lengths; and at Don caster won the Champagne • Stakes by half a length, beating Daniel O'Rourke, Bay Rosalind, Homebcowed, Stilton, and four others. In my analysis in the early part of the year I looked upon this horse's chance in a very favourable manner; but in consequence of his slight increase in size, I am not by any means sanguine of his success on the ensuing Wednesday—in fact, I think he will not obtain a place. The betting this morning ruled just the same as at Tattersall's yesterday. I am, Sir, yours, THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. May 21, 1852. (To be concluded on Monday.) SPORTING IN' E LLIGENCE.

WooLwrcia, MAY 20.—The preparations for the launch of the Agamemnon, 90 gnus, are now completed, and the Pi.gerd flag-ship, has been removed from her mooring and taken further down the river to make room for the Agamemnon being launched and brought up at anchor while the tide is nearly at its grestcst height and Continuing to fl ow . Thi s fi ne screw steam - s hip was de signed at the office tf th e S urve y or o f the Navy (Sir Baldwin Walker), owl is considered by competent judges to combine all the essential qualifications for the purpose for which she is destined. She will possess the twofold advantages of being as perfectly equipped for a sailing vessel as ether - raen-of-war (second-rates) of her own class; while at the same time she will (unaided by sails) bet an efficient screw steamer, being supplied with engines of 600-horse power by John Penn and son. With these two distinct locomotive properties she will always be under command, independently of wind and weather. Her armament will be very formidable. She will mount 36 8-inch guns on the gun deck ,34 heavy 32- pounders on the main deck, and 20 32-pounders on the quarter-deck and forecastles; and she will be manned with a complement of about 850 men. The lcuneh will take place about three o'clock on Sa turday, May 112, and the Agamemnon being the first ship of the lino regularly designed and built for a war steamer, she has been, and will continue to be, an object of peculiar interest in the history of steam naval archi tecture. Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, visited the Agamemnon yesterday, and Lord Clarence Paget and Admiral Ogle visited her to-day. Upwards of 4,000 cards of admission to the booths and stands en the west and tho east sides of the vessel have been issued, but it is seldom that so uninterrupted a view of the launch of a large ship of war can be obtained as there will . be, owing to the excellent arrangements which haverbeew - made and the gentle - sloping of the surrounding ground, from which 50,000 persons may have a good view of the launch. TILE EXPLOSION AT HEBBURN COLLIERY. The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the twenty two sufferers by the explosion at Hebburn Colliery, in the county of Durham, on the 6th inst., was held at the Ellison arms ' Hebburn, on Wednesday, before Mr. J. M. Hudson, deputy coroner. Mr. Matthias Dunn, the Government inspector, was present. A number of work men were examined, whose testimony, however, did not add anything to the facts alre=ady knowu. After they had given their evidence, Mr. Dunn, Government in spector of mines for the nortbrn district, stated that he inspected this mine on the 7th February, 1850, and again on the 12th of May last. Mr. Dunn then read a report of his examination of the mine on those days. His opinion wasahat an accumulatiou of gas had *liken place in the streight•on board, and that the temporary neglect of -a door at the end of that board had caused the board to accumulate foulness-, and that the sh utting of that board som e ti me a f terwards had removed theits from- that board into Hall's board at the very time when his lamp was open for the purpose of firing the shot. Mr. Dunn concluded by making the following sug gestions as to the future;-1. That a greater quantity of air be allowed for those workings which are lying on the whole coal. 2. That the firing of shots be discontinued in workings where lamps only can be used. 3. That all lamps be locked, and only opened by autho rised persons, in the fresh air. 4. That the farnacei be overhauled, and trials made to produce an accession of air by more active firing. 6. That the doors and brat tices be strictly looked after, both in the construction and . the keeping. 6. That printed regulations be cir culated through the colliery as to -the use of the lamps, &e. Mr. Royd, viewer of Urepth colliery, and Mr. Liddell, viewer of Gosforth colliery, were not examined on oath, but they spoke freely to the good ventilation and excellent mauagement of Hebburn colliery. The coroner then charged the jury, who retired for about half an hour; after which they bought in the following verdict, viz., That the said explosion took place in the middle board of the A pit; and the jury cannot separate without expressing their opinion that there has been a great want of (puk" in the working of the colliery. They, therefore, recommend that there be an additional trapper boy employed in this district; that all the lamps be locked; and that no firing of shots be allowed to take place where the colliery is wrought with lamps." BEATING THE BOUNDARIES AT BUCK INGHYIIII PALACE. An interesting ceremony took place yesterday after noon at Buckinghara Palace, in the presence, we may say, of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and several branches of the youthful Royal Family. As may be known, a large portion of the Palace and grounds are within the limits ol' the royal parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, sod yesterday being Holy Thursday, the day on which the ceremony of beating the boundaries is usually per formed, a long procession of the parochial authorities, headed by the old royal standard of the parish, and fol lowed by the rector and clergy of the district, church wardens, and some thousand children, decked with ro settes and bunches of fl ,wers, the boys bearing flags and long light sticks, made its appearance at one of the front gates of the Palace nearest Constitution-hill, for permission to traverse the boundaries of the parish within the royal domain. In accordance with her Ma jesty's usual practice, leave was at once granted to the authorities to perform the ancient duty, and the proces sion entered within the enclosure, and filed off towards the gate leading to the grounds. At this moment Prince Albert, with several of the Royal children; ap peared u' the corner window of the north wing, and the novel and interesting character of the scene seemed to afford them much gratification. The procession then entered t h e groun d s , a nd the children of the parochial schools were drawn Up under the windows of ono of the royal apartments which overlooks the garden, and in a few mo ments h er M a j es ty appeared at the window, and the Prince Coneort, with the Heir Apparent, Princess Royal, and other junior members of the Royal Family, came out on to the balcony. The children then sang the National Anthem, and having given some vigorous and protracted cheering fee the Qaeen, Prince 11!but, 14 e-, the illustrious spent :tors ovithdrew, the young Princes and Princess apparently not a little amused wite the bustle and energy with which the charity-boys beat the bo-aeds. The process ion wended its way through the grounds to the gateway on Constitution-hig; near Hyde Park-corner, and taking the boundary or the perish, proceeded along the. Piccadilly side of the Green Park. Just as the chteiren were emerging from the Royal grounds the Duke of Wellington passed down Constitution-hill on horseback, and tee appearance of the children and general character of the procession seemed to excite his Grace's neculter attention.

The adjourned eeecial meeting of this compeny was held yesterday at the - railway station, Pe.ddingtev, for the puroese of submitting to the shareholders for their consideration and approval .three Bills which' were not sufficient:an/dewed at the period of holding the special meeting on the 12th inst.; Mr. C. Russell in the chair. The CHAIRMAN explained that they had been obliged to postijone the °cubicle:talon of three Bills which were to have been submitted at the epecial meeting on Thurs day, the 13th inst. The p.'ostoonement to this day was in consequence 'of the Bills not having passed the Committee of the House of Commons. At that meeting he had expressed a hope that they would he able to present them in a satisfactory state at the adjourned meeting. In that expectation they had not been disappoieted, for the three Bills hod passed the Committee. The directors had succeeded in carrying nearly all the measures they had proposed fur this ses sion. The Bill authorising the extension of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway from Oxford to Brentford, was rejected by a majority of the Committee of four to one. The Oxford. Worcester, and Wolver hampton Bill, in which powers were sought to reduce the number of the Great Western directors at the board of the Oxford, Worcester,. and Wolverhampton Com pany, from six directors to one, in the event of the Bill passing, was rejected. The third Bill, promoted by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, for minor objects only, was not permitted to pass until the Committee inserted a clause with the intention of enforcing a penalty on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company of 10,0001. in case the portion of their line from Priestfield to Wolver hampton should not be completed on the Ist of Sep tember, 1853, and also a penalty of 5001. per day for every' day after that date thaline shall remain unfinished and unopened. The Select Committee had substituted this clause in the Oxford, Worcester, and Woverhamp ton Bill, for the clauses in the Bill promoted by the Great Western Company to enable them to construct the portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton Railway between Priestfield and Wolverhampton. This Bill, which he would oreeently submit for their ap - H p roouv House , fh Commons.ad u n derg that relating to th e construc ti o n and use of the line ° O n ri a e c o o r i s t i h d e e r p a r b i l n e ei p a a l l t e a r l between Priestfield an d W o l ver h am pton by the Great a t e t i r o a n t i s o ni in s w i t Western Company, su bj ec t t o t he authority of the Board of Trade. H e h a d no doubt that the Committee thought they had sufficiently secured the making of the line by the introduction of the penal clauses in the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Bill, but at the same time put it into the power of the latter company to withdraw their Bill knewall if the B veryill sh should hboewc hard arrie d i t through w as to at any period, and thus fr us t rate t h e intention of t h e P C s o r m li m am it e te n e t: t a h n e d y , compel parties in a court of law to comply with such provisions in an Act of Parliament. The Great West ern Company had great reason to complain of a clause inser;ed in the Bill with regard to the reduction of tolls on the Great Western Railway ro soon as either the Oxford and Birrainghsm or the Wolverhampton and Dudley lines shall be completed. This clause was in serted in violation of the clause in the original Act wllich imposed a reduction of the fares on the comple tion of both the lines mentioned. This was the inter pretation of the chime in the original Act by the Great Western board, which was afterwards confirmed by the unanimous judges in the Court of ExcheqUer. It usually happened .tbat , whenever the company brought a Bill before Parliement their opponents were sure to endea vour .to get clause inserted in their Bills apparently without say object except that of injuring flee Great Western Company, and to gratify the spleen of their op ponent& In conseq'eence of the Bill conferring powers on the company of much wilco to them, they were in duced.to proceed with it, notwithstanding the clause to which he had. referred. Mr. SA.UNDERS, the Secretary, then read the heads of " A Bill to confer on the Great Western Railway Company enlarged and additional powers far the Con struction of parts. of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, and the completion of other parts...thereof, and for the purchase of lands on the lines of the Birmingham and Oxford ' Junction, end . Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railways respectively; and for the alteration of the works of part of tlee last-mentioned railway, and the formatiaa of certain additional stations and branch lines of railway; and also for the laying down the broad gauge me part of the South Staffordshire Railway, and for other purposes:" intended dd to t o a p know t whetheroal all the broad-gauge o h s e d - r g e sclaugce tioAn of toils wa i rin lines- of .the Great Western Company, or to that only between London and Bristol? The CHAIRMAN said the redaction of tolls wouldap ply only to the Great Western lines open at the time the Act was passed. The resolution was then carried unanimously. Mr. SAUNDERS then read the heads of "A Bill to au thorise the consolidation into one undertaking of the Great Western, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and the Shrewsbury and Chester Railways; and the union into one company of the three several companies to whom the said railways respectively belong; and also to aukhotise the appropriation of certain revenues for securing dividends to the two last-mentioned com panies prior to such union and consolidation." He ex plained that a clause had been added to the Bill enabling the Shrewsbury Company, prior to 1854, to extend the period for amalgamation from 1856, as originally pro posed, to 1857 or 1858. The object was to give further time. if necessary, for the development of the traffic on the Shrewsbury line. A resolution approving of the Bill was then carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN sail, the next Bill they had to submit was that relating to the extension of time for the com pletion of the Wycombe line, and after giving a short history of the project which was sanctioned in 1845, he stated that it was intended to lease the line when com pleted at 3,600/. a year and half the surplus profits, with power to the Wycombe Company to claim 10,0001. in lieu of half the surplus profits. It would be of service to the Great Western Company to complete the line, as he had no doubt it would tend to increase the traffic on their railway. Mr. SAUNDERS then read the hcsds of " A Bill to revive and extend the Time for the Execution of certain by tee Wycombe Railway powers conferred Act, 1846,' and for reducing the capital of the Wycombe Railway Company; gratfor enabling the company to enter into arrangements with the Great Western Railway Com piny, and for oth-s." Ho stated that the line r perpos- would be 9i miles in length. Mr. Vouerxr 'said he would take that opportunity of expressinghts confidence and that of other large propri etors in the directors, end tb-ir approVai of the jadieions manner in which the affairs cf the'Great West. :a Com pally had been manseed. The reduction of fells was one of the conddtions which Parliament had attached to the purchase of the Oxford end Birmingham tad 'Vireliere hampten and Dudley lines. With regard to the advan tages of the Wycoaine line be could give ne opihion; but it was well known that tuanyof the trunk lines had bean serionsly•iejured by extensions and branches. the r"h Great Western Company had the Sou t h-We stern a side and the London end North-W e i tern on oth on one and if the Great Western stoo d still er; branches it was impossibl e t h at th end made no e other companies weal remain quiet, but go on making extensions to sap their traffic. Great cc•mplaint had people. in Wiltshire th a t the G been mad e by th e had not carried out t h e i r Great Western Co m p a ny extensions He 'Llrlpfl that - the Great "r in that quarter. frt.m faalairot tiny emit _W hatern would not refrain wetly, but at tile same d they might have made for c to expect that the ate no th oug h t it was reason ablenefit of an extension r people wh o were t o h ave th e be nefit when made should contribute towards its constru i a" The CHAIRM N A ums quite concurred in the view taken by the Hon. Proprietor with regard to making branch lines that would not Pen. The reason the Uxbridge line waft' no t made was because there was doubt • . n g a as to its par fhr the wroth h outlay. With r ega rd t o th e D e vizss line they e glad to be enabled to carry out any promise they had made; they thought, however, that the whole burden of making the line ought not to be cast upon the Great Western Company by the parties who were to gain by ita-a(Hear, hear.) The resolution approving of the Bill was then carried, and the proceedings concluded with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. PATENT TILE AND PIPS MAKING MACHINE.-- We were invited yesterday to witness the working of one of Mr. Hart's tile machines, at the Atlas Works, Borough.. road, Southwark. This machine is one of a series intended for Italy, and its construction and principle has attracted a good deal of attention. It makes pipes, tiles, hollow and solid bricks, cornice work, and is capable of being readily adjusted to some twelve hundred different patterns. It is worked by a screw, and is simple to singularity throughout, and is indeed the very qualterism of mechanics. A. man and a boy are capable of giving it a pressure of ten tons, and by a curious reversing or self-acting movement, no time is lost in the working of both ends, one man being employed in fillisg, while the boy carries away. Thus, and with only moderate exertion, we saw tiles produced at the rate of eight miles for ten hours, and solid and hollow bricks, &c., with like rapidity. —Morning Paper.
