The public service has sustained a heavy loss by the sudden and early death of the late able and excellent Vice-Chancellor Sir James Parker. Raised to his emi nent position by professional merit alone, in spite of his Conservative politics by a Whig Ministry, he entered upon the discharge of hie high office in a spirit of en lightened liberality, which enhanced the respect for his judicial powers and high legal knowledge. But, after all, there is nothing which will tend so much to per petuate the public regret for the loss of this able and excellent servant as the choice of his successor. In these days of Reform we require that the judges who are to preside over our courts should not only be well versed in their procedure, but they should possess that comprehensiveness of mind and constructive power which enables men to demolish an obsolete and vexa• tious system, and to raise a durable and useful fabric in its place. They are much mistaken who think that the recent crude and half-digested measures which were hurried through Parliament for the sake of electioneering popularity have solved the proble m of Chancery reform, or afforded to the suitor one half of that relief which he is entitled to expect from the Legislature. These Bills are but the beginning of a mighty change, the first symptoms of a long and tedious fermentation through which this troubled and turbid mixture of heterogeneous elements must work out its own purity. There can be no greater error than to suppose that the Bills of last year have founded a new system, and that nothing remains for the judges to do except to work it out as they find it. The Legisla tive daties of the judges in courts of equity are, in fact, only just begun. A long and arduous investigation lies before them ere the procedure of the Court &Chancery can be made to answer the requirements of justice and reason; and more than this, the success of the whole re form depends entirely on the sisal with which the Equity Judges administer the new duties which are cast upon them. Our readers are aware that the office of Master in Chancery has been abolished, and its duties are to be performed by the judges, with the assistance of a chief clerk. if the Judges enter heartily into this scheme we believe that their assumption of the duties of Master will be fraught with great benefit to the suitor; whereas if they work in an indolent and narrow, or an unwilling spirit, the only re sult will be to reconstitute the old jurisdiction under a new name, and vest in the Judge's clerk, with less learn ing and less responsibility, the powers hitherto exercised by the Master. It is, therefore, no inconsiderable matter to fill up a vacant Vice-Chancellorship at the present moment. We regret to say that the gentleman appointed by Lord Derby to fill this important place does not appear to possess any of the requisites for such a position. Had Mr. John Stuart been as remarkable for his exertions in the cause of law reform as he has notoriously been for opposition to it, his reputation as a lawyer stands scarcely high enough to justify his eleva tion to a great judicial office. Bat the truth is, he owes this preferment much more to political than legal considerations. The late Duke of Newcastle, the consistent adversary of all the liberal changes which have illustrated the history of the last two reigns, found in Mr. Stuart an exact echo of his opinions, and selected him to represent his interest in the borough of Newark in 1846. Mr. Stuart did not disappoint the expectations of his patron. His politics would entitle him to form one of a triumvirate, the other two members of which might be Colonel Sibthorp and Sir Robert Inglis. Mr. Stuart owes his appointment to his opposition to free trade, and to a very indifferent advocacy of the worst side of almost every question with which the Legislature for the last six years has had to deal. Such political services are undoubtedly entitled to a reward from a Ministry which represents, so far as its personnel is concerned, all the bigotry and obstruc tiveness which mighty changes and sudden conversions have left to the English nation. We only wish that these services could have been rewarded with a post less imperiously requiring high talent and enlightened liberality, and visiting the want of these qualities with lighter loss and injury to the public. In this appointment L or d Derby has of given a pro o f the degree of his si ncer i ty, so much and so loudly vaunted, lie the cause of law reform. The measuresosi which he passed with th e ass i stance of the 0 during the last session, and a f terwards took credit P ti fo ° r ia as if they had been for ce d on an unwilling Parliament, he found all ready, at least so far as the outline was con cerned. To his predecessors belong the merit of the re form in Chancery, and the responsibility of the Common Law Procedure Bill. This is the first instance in which he has been called upon to do an act seriously affecting the cause for his devotion to which he has taken so much credit. It is not too much to say, that out of all the persons on whom his choice could possibly fall, he has selected the most unfit man in the country to carry out the pending legal reformation. We speak with no per sonal disrespect of Mr. Stuart, but there is no one more entirely disqualified, by the strength of his prejudices and the narrowness of his views, to carry out the work which the country expects from him. The duty of the equity judges is not merely to preside in their several courts; they form a standing committee for the reform of the jurisdiction they administer. In that committee Lord Derby has taken care that ono voice at least shall be raised in favour of ancient abuses. Such, however, seems to be the leading policy of the present Government. They are willing to carry out every principle which they have denounced and decried for so many years, provided only the task be reposed in the hands of men always most hostile to its accomplish mPnt. Their mission seems to be the reconciliation of contradictions and antipathies. Every cause, according to these strange principles, is best served by placing it in the hands of its mortal enemies. Free trade ceases to be an evil when no longer intrusted to the hands of Free-traders, and law reform itself may be endured when confided to the keeping of its bitterest antago nisti. No argument in favour of the present Ministry is so frequently put forth in conversation as the sug- gestion that they can carry more liberal measures than their antagonists, because they can command the support of those who would oppose those mea sures if proposed by any other Government. The Liberals may besiege the fortress, but the Tories can compel the garrison to lay down their arms and to surrender at discretion. Such a suggestion has undoubtedly some truth, but is very discreditable to the party on whose behalf it is made. According to this reasoning, that Government is most entitled to confidence which most effectually destroys in office that policy which it advocated in Opposition. The days are gone by, apparently, when this country could find two parties conscientiously differing on subjects of great po litical importance. There is but one set of opinions consistent with the possession or retention of office. The only difference between parties is, that one holds the same opinions in Opposition as in office; the other directly the contrary. We confess ourse l ves to b e no converts to this ingenious system of contraries, and we shall persist in believing, till convinced by experience to the contrary, that free trade is safest in the hands of Free-traders, and law reform in those of law reformers. Nor shall we consider it a proof of the sincerity of Lord Derby that he has selected a gentleman professing the principles of Mr. Stuart as the fellow-labourer of Sir John Hominy and Lord Cranworth.— Times. , aa an b d ee n n o identified for a considerable . town h little pride was NORWICII.—TI of the Gold Medal. manufacture period with o f vinegar this to Messrs.

The highly-meritorious entertainment of Mr. Henry Russell, entitled the Emigrant's Progress from the Old World to the New, still continues t o draw very crowded houses. It is i mpossible to spend two hours more agreeably or profitably than in just now visiting the Lyceum, for in that brief period of time the audience is nightly enabled to take a journey to the provinces of the Ear West, under an able and experienced guide, who not only points out all that is striking or interesting on the way, but delights the voyagers with his music, both vocal and instru mental, and excites their risible faculties to an inor dinate extent, by his witty anecdotes and droll delineations of Yankee and negro cha racter. He is, without doubt, a most plea sant companion, and we could almost wish that the journey were a little prolonged. He is quite an adept in blending instruction with amusement, and the emigrant may obt a i n f rom hi m as muc h j ud i c i ous advice and correct information as could be gleaned from grave authorities of far greater pretensions. Mr. Russellis an old traveller, and, having frequently visited the scenes he portrays and mixed in the so ciety he describes, he vouches for the accuracy of his pictures. The panorama it a very beautiful pro duction, and is painted, as he tells us, from sketches taken by himself on the spot. His negro life, in freedom and slavery, which is also illustrated by a panorama, is very effective, and will perhaps do more to convince the public of the iniquities of the slave trade than scores of publications and speeches. It is gratifying to perceive that Mr. Russell has a moral as well as a pecuniary object in giving these entertainments. He denounces slavery in strong, but far from inappro priate terms, and looks upon it as a huge blot on the otherwise glorious flag of the United States. He recommends emigration, as the salvation of those poor and overworked artisans and labourers in this country who are wholly unable to support themselves and their families. It is unnecessary to speak of Mr. Russell's songs ; they are famed far beyond the boundaries of the United Kingdom; and it is well known that none can sing them in so stirring and effective a manner as himself.

The directors dissent from the views of the deputa tion, that any deficiency which may of the North Kent, when compared with the estimates of 1845, may chiefly or indeed in any way be attributed to the non-completion of the line.

Although in measure distance is not to be much taken into accountshortest France, as regards electricity, yet there is every advantage in order s to obtain celerity in transmissions in following from trasburg line. This tray be readily understood : Brussels to Vi enna, via Prussia, there are eighteenFprincipal sta tions where dispatches are stopped. to Vienna, by Paris and Strasbur th rom Brussels ere are only eight stations, and, besides, frona g ih of the wires established with use multiplicity French lines are less encumbered than the the ones. The transit, therefore, belongs to German i us na turally and forcibly. Germany, however, all her efforts to preserve it. The Austro-G Using Telegraphic Association has increased the pricemaia the Baden territory for dispatches which come through on France, and which go by Kehl and Burschal bey on d the Grand Duchy. The increase is 3f. 45c. for y 20 words only. It is hoped, but doubtless erroneously, to induce, by the attraction of the ec onomy o f a fe:, francs, parties who are sending dispatches to take the German in preference to the French line. The advantage of a little lower tariff on the other side of the Rhine cannot compensate for the advantage of more celerity on our side. A recent instance of this has occurred. On the 31 of August last, the Lloyds of Trieste, sent one telegraphic dispatch rela- tive to the India mail to London, w 4 Strasburg, and another vie Germany, Verviers, and Brussels. The former arrived at its destination on the evening of the 3d, while the latter did not reach until the following evening, being a delay of 24 hours by the German line. It is true that the dispatch by Germany cost from sf. to 6f. less than that by way of France. The competition which Germany seeks to make for the transit of the electric telegraph dispatches will not be more successful than that with regard to the Indian mail. Strasburg and Marseilles will remain, from the advantages inherent to their positions, the two points of passage, the former for telegraphic dis pa I tahes and the other for the transmission of the mails. If, as it has been anncunced, a convention is in contemplation between France, Belgium, and Ger many for working the electric telegraph, it will give an opportunity for settling about the extra charges alluded to, by means of which the Austro-German Telegraph Association seeks to prevent persons using the French lines for their dispatches.

Eloahana flail, Aug. 16, 1852 Sir,—The deputation who met yourself and other di rectors of the South-Eastern Railway Company on Thursday, beg me to say that they have given direc tions to have their plans and sections completed, for the purpose of being submitted for investigation, as soon as the points and preliminaries referred to in your 'earl. of sth instant are put on a clearer footing tnan the de putation think they are at present. With a view to their elucidation, and still retaining the hope that the project of the line from Strood to the Chilham line may be carried out in conjunction with your company, I am requested further to address yon on some of the ques tions raised at the recent conference. The deputation understand that the directors adhere to their resolution, as expressed in the letter to Mr, Taylor, of September 7th, 1849, and repeated in the let ters to myself in 1850, and to Mr. Lubhington, in No vember, 1851, to the effect, that "if the gentlemen of North Kent should see it for their advantage, and be desirous of constructing a continuation of the South- Eastern North sent line from Strood, the junc tions with the South-Eastern lines of railway, and the plans and sections and other arrange ments being satisfactory, the directors will ad vise the company to assent to such an under taking." But they also understand that this advice will not be given unless the directors are previously satisfied that there is "an independent subscription list," ex plained by you to mean a list which shall not be merely that of contractors, as in the ease of the Tilbury line; and further, that you believed the dividends on the pro posed line, if completed, would be " nil;" because, as you stated, the branches of your company had been ge nerally piofitless, and that the North gent traffic esti mates, given in evidence in 1845, bad been greatly ex aggerated, as instanced in the Gravesend traffic, of which you alleged not more than 12 per cent, had been realized, and that you did not thing the proprietors of the South- Eastern Company would agree to a lease of the line, when made at 3 per cent, on the outlay, though such out lay would not exceed 600,0001. In reference to the first of these points it is perhaps enough to say that we have no such share list, nor con template any such as that on which you stated the Til bury Act was obtained. In that case, you stated the contractors guaranteed a certain per tentage of return, and agreed for a lease previous to obtaining the Act. In this case, no such guarant ee h as b een g i ven. O n the contrary, hat is asked is an understanding with your company that they would lease the line, such offer being made in a friendly spirit, and in a desire to avoid enter ing into engagements with other parties, who might be disposed to work it in an interest hostile to the South Eastern. The total amount of our passenger traffic between London and G ravesen d wes— During the year ending July 3 1, 1850 £17,438 15 5 During the y ear en di ng July 31, 1851 16,882 1 0 During the year ending July 31, 185 2 1 7 , 976 5 1 The competition to th e l ocal traffic of North Kent has been extended by P ar li ament authorising the Tilbury and Southend line, which no eza the completion or non.completion of the line to Chilham, s t o o m th e eir and the extent of this increased c ompetition is an inci dent not unworthy of attention prorietors. property of the South-Eastern Company. It justifies the directors in pausing before they accumulate addi aypo:ixthee3 i i t n se te lf re u st p s with and n a y r up some seems to exist on another point. ti o l n t a i l s liability bette rt o o of mis apprehension which The South-Eastern Company undertook the construction of the Ashford and Hasting lines in August, 1845, upon stringent conditions imposed by Parliament to ensure its early completion. The authority to construct the line to Gravesend, and to purchase the canal from Gravesend to Strood, was not obtained till 1846. In the same year power was conferred on the company to ma ke the Tunbridge Wells and Hastings Railway, and which the com pany has constructed. But I beg your lordship's per mission to state distinctly that those schemes were not adopted, nor has the company adopted any schemes in violation of pledges made to complete the conti nuation of the North Kent line. On the contrary, the South-Eastern Railway Company promoted a Bill in Par liament in 1847 to authorise a continuation of the North Kent line from Strood to Chilham; and the Bill, after being read a second time in your Lordshi'4 House, was stopped, on the motion of his Grace they Duke of Wel lington, who referred it to the Railway Commissioners, by whom it was detained until it became a suspended Bill under the order of the Houses of Parliament, and from that time the position and fluctuation in the value of railway property has deterred the South-Eastern Com pany from again promoting the measure. The gentlemen who may be responsible for the cost and expenses of going to Parliament for the proposed line may learn upon what trifling incidents, adversely arising (independent of doubtful merit) , a ruinous outlay of capital may occur to their embarrassment and vexa tion. Before the South-Eastern Company can be soundly advised to renew their application to continue the North Kent line, they must distinctly see a certain prospect of success. That moment h as no t arr i ved, and the move went of the proposed scheme is decidedly premature. The North Kent Railway, just emerging from a cost in construction of gigantic character, is threatened with local competition of indefinite result. We cannot disguise from ourselves, and desire to state our opinion frankly, that the leasing of any future line of railway will, in the present monetary condition of the world, demand the exercise of great prudence, and the settlement of its terms (if it be possible must be the voluntary adoption and agreement by the at all) parties interested, and can i n no event be left to th responsible view which may b e ta k en b e ir y the B oar d of Trade, or any indi v id ua l s, however eminent and respectable, because an error or mistake in judgment might entail lasting injury, without appoal or relief. It may be, my Lord, that we have taken a view of this subject which may be modified by the reflection and opinions of the proprietors of our company, and we deem it more becoming and respectful to all parties in terested to place the substance of this correspondence be fore the proprietors of the South-Eastern Company for their deliberation. It is by their judgment we must be guided .—I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lord gut . ship's most obedient humble servant, It is no doubt the fact, that the committee have been and are in communication with eminent contractors, without whose aid no railway can in the present day be made. These parties are satisfied that the railway can be made and completed for 600,0001, and are ready to enter into binding contracts for that purpose. And, as a proof and guarantee for their iotta faded, they are ready to take shares to a large amount, executing the usual Parliamentary contract, and incurring the ordi nary legal liabilities of other shareholders under the Act. THE .ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN AMERICA. The progress of telegraphic en t erpr i se i n t h e U n i ted States is just now assuming a position that indicates the extensive nature of that branch of its economy over that of every other country. According to the most recent authentic information on the matter, it appears that the total number of miles of telegraph in the United States is 27,177, independent of the range of lines projected or in progress. Of this 27,177, about 17,283 miles are on the Morse system, and the remainder on that of House, Bain, and O'Reilly. The longest existing line is that between New Orleans and New York, by means of which, in April last, direct communication between the two cities in a single circuit over an extent of 3,000 miles was obtained, dispatches being sent between the two places 60 seconds " ahead of time." The next longest lines out of the 44, on the Morse system, extending to all the chief States, are thedi s New York and Buffalo telegraph, ' Troy a n d irg n o a : 1,716 a t otal me r Albany, consisting of five lines, each 500 miles long, miles; the Washington and New Y or k T e legraph, via Baltimor e an d Philadelphia, with five lines of 250 miles each, or a total of 1,250 m il es . Oth e r lines vary fr om 1 00 to d Newsitl s et; &s or al ofne and the 2'sTooelegraph, via the W as hi ngton IT 300 and 800 miles long, and the expense of their construction from 100 to 200 dollars per mile, the profits alternating at between 3 and 6 per cent. per annum. The number of wires also varies, there being between some places only one, and between others two, four, and five. On the western and Canada routes there is generally but one, and between others 2,4, and 5. On the western and Canada routes there is generally but one. The Washington and New Orleans Telegraph charge 2 dollars from Washington to New Orleans, 1,716 miles, with no charge for address, date, or signature. The Atlantic and Ohio Telegraph, 1 dollar and 30 cents., from Philadelphia to Mil wankie, 812 miles. The Magnetic Telegraph, from New York to Washington, 245 milee, 50 cents.; and to New Orleans, 2 dollars 50 cents.; but when a communication exceeds 100 words, the price on all words exceeding is reduced one-third. The New York and Niagara Telegraph charge 65 cents. for 500 miles. These charges are the same to all places on the intermediate route, each line running its wires through numerous towns and cities where telegraph stations are established. THE The deputation are not aware of any valid objection to this, either legal, parliamentary, or moral. But they feel that if your directors require that the landowners in this or any other district should make up a list of share holders amongst themselves, and from which other par ties, the most competent for the purpose, can be ex chided, it is a requisition which can only be looked on as a direct refusal to agree to the project. On this point they would be obliged by a distinct statement of the views of your directors. As to your statement of the traffic not having realised the estimates of 1845, the deputation can, of coarse, only judge by the printed evinence, the published re ports of the North Kent returns, and you r own remarks have on the subject. They caused the two former to be examined and analysed, and also to be tested by your statement regarding the Gravesend traffic. The result proves to the deputation the accuracy of their views (hat any deficiency which may exist in the receipts of the North Kent, when compared with the estimates of 1845, may chiefly be attributed to the non - completion of the line, which this project is calculated to remedy, For the total amount of the estimated traffic WB3 But this includes the following items:— From Sheerness to the Isle of Thanet £12,000 Strood to Chilham 51,000 fiungerford extension (over 2i miles) 77,000 Leaving The last half-yearly accounts of the South- Eastern Company show an annual receipt on the North Kent portion at the rate of 145,000 190,000 J MACGREGOR. P.S. I beg to s t a t e f or your Lordshi ' that no shorthand - writer w a s present a p ts information, the interview between your Lordship' s deputation and th e directors. The [tight lion. Lord Sondes, Elrnham Ilan, Norfolk. Leaving to be supplied But the alleged falling short of the Gravesend traffic, taken at your stated figure of a receipt of only 12 per cent. on its estimated amount of 77,4581. in 1846, is 66,1631. This overridos the deficiency of 45,0001.. and warrants the conclusion that the passenger traffic to other stations on the line has been 21,000/. in excess of the estimates of 1845; and when tho fact is considered that the omnibus traffic ht. tween Strood and Canterbury at the present day greatly exceeds the estimates of 1845, the deputations are prepared to show that there is reasonable prospect of not leas than 61. per cent. interest on 600,0001, it the line be duly and economically worked.* The deputation are not in a position to dispute the fact alleged by you, of the loss sustained by the Ash ford and Hastings and other branch lines. But they beg to remind the directors that these schemes were adopted notwithstanding the pledges yet unredeemed to complete the main line. The latter would, they contend, have been remunerative. That the others have not been so is no reply to the data on which the returns for the legi timate main line were estimated. But to ca rr y out their conciliatory views as fully and consistency as they can, I have now to ask whether, assuming the plans, sec tions, and junctions to be satisfactory and in conformity with Parliamentary usage, the directors are prepared to advise their proprietors to work the line,if completed, on such terms as may be deemed fair and just , ha v i ng regard to the actual traf fi c which may arise on it, and the average traffic of the North Kent and South-Eastern lines, leaving the settlement of such terms to the Boa r d of Trade, as proposed in the resolution of the 31st ult.; clauses, to be agreed with the South-Eastern, being introduced into the Act for that purpose. The deputation repeat what was stated in conference, that their object in thus pressing the South-E astern Company for a clear and definite but ami ca bl e under standing is, to avoid the repetition of an annual and costly conflict, or the still more disastrous effect of riv a l li nes relying f or success on the long-disregarded wants and wishes of the district, the county, and the public at large, which Parliament must sooner or later be called on to respect and enforce. I have finally to request your consideration of the foregoing remark s , and a reply, after submitting the same to the directors as a supplement to the resolutions of the 31st ult., an d M r . Ch ar l es Lushington's letter of the 3d inst., and as embodying our views of the confe rence of Thursday; and also that this letter may be sub mitted to the ensuing meeting of your proprietors, with the resolutions and letter in question. I shall be obliged by your addressing your reply to me, under cover . to Mr, White, 10, Whitehall-place. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, SONDES. To James MacGregor, Esq., Chairman, &c., South-Eastern Railway Company. P.S. As the deputation observed a short-hand writer was present, they would be obli ge d if th e di rectors cou ld favour them with an inspection of the transcript of his notes. THE ELECTRIC TIME SIGNAL AT CHAR ING-CROSS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIB,—I beg to forward you the following state ment respecting the Time Signal recently erected, and now in operation, at, the Electric Telegraph Com pany's station at Charing cross. It has for several years been the practice of the company to transmit daily to their more i m portant stations in the provi nces , as nearly as circumstances would permit, th e t rue L on d on time ; but it was felt by the Electric Tel egrap h C ompany that, possessed as they were of mean s so extensive, it would be possible, as well as highly desirable, th a t ran a ccuracy might be obtained which would prove extremely va luable to the principal towns and seaports in the United Kingdom, and be available not only for ordi nary domestic and commercial purposes, but also for the rating of chronometers, and for all scientific investigations in which time forms an important element. RAILROAD SUSPEN,SION BRIDGE OVER THE NIAGARA. The bridge will form a single span of 800 feet in length. It is to serve as a connecting line between the railroads of Canada and the State of New York, and to accommodate the common travel of the two countries. It is established by ample experience, that good iron wire, if properly united into cables or ropes, is the best material for the support of loads and concussions, in virtue of its great absolute cohesion, which amounts to from 90,000 to 13 0,0001b5, per square inch according to quality. The bridge will form a straight hollow beam of 20 feet wide and 17 deep, composed of top, bottom, and sides. The upper floor, which supports the railroad, is 24 feet wide between the railings, and suspended to two wire cables, assisted by stays. The lower floor is 19 feet wide and 15 high in the clear, connected with the upper one by vertical trusses, forming its sides, and sus• pended on two other cables, which have 10 feet more deflection than the upper ones. The anchorage will be formed by sinking eight shafts into the rock, 25 feet deep. The bottom of each shaft will be enlarged for the reception of cast-iron anchor plates, of 6 feet square. These chambers will have a prismatical section, which, when filled with solid masonry, cannot be drawn up without lifting the whole rock to a considerable extent. During the summer of last year a sum o f money was accordingly voted by the Electric Telegraph Company, and I, as their engineer, was instructed to take all necessary steps for carrying the object out. An applicati on was soon after made to the Astronomer Royal for hi s va l uable and ittdispen sa bl e co - o peration in the und er t a ki ng, which it is needless to add was instantly and most cordially afforded. He had, In deed, long co n t emp l ated a telegraphic communication between the Gre enw i c h and other observatories for astronomical purp oses, and he proposed at once to make arrangements for giving the company 11 daily signal from Greenwich. Wires were accordingly laid down for him bet ween the Observatory and the Le wsham station on th e S outh-Eastern Railway, and thence to London-brid ge a l ong this line ; one of these wires was liberally appr opr i ated to the Strand t i me sign a l, an d was cont i nued for that purpose throngh the streets by the Electri c T e l egraph Company to their office in the Strand. Th e permission of the Sout h- Eastern R a il way was necessary for this arrangement, and was gran t e d w i t h out h esitation, and the work along their line was executed by their able and well-known telegraph engineer, Mr. C.V. Walker. The Strand is liberated directly by a current sent from Greenwich through this wire. The ball, six feet in diameter, is made of zinc; and with its attached pis ton weigh s a about 2i cwt. When fully raised it 1 . 3 129 feet above the level of Thames, and it falls throug h passes a space of 10 feet. The rod which supports it down the centre of the column, and carries at its base!' cast iron air piston, which, in its descent plunges into a t h e air cylinder, 10 inches in diameter; the escape c't . being regulated so as to check at pleasure the momen ttum of the ball, and prevent any concussion from . i e ball at the weight. The raising of the ball half-mast high take]. place daily at 10 minutes to 1 ; at five it is raised to its full height ; and at 1 precisely and.t simultaneously with the fall of the Greenwich ball, i is liberated from the current sent from the Observina: tory. The true moment of 1 o'clock is, therefore,h be. dicated by the first appearance of the line of light of tween the dark cross over the ball and the body 'th the the ball itself. Should anything inte r f ere with the high, operation the ball will be lowered half-mast d ill where it will remain until five minutes to 2, and will current from be liberated at 2 precisely by a s econd Greenwich, or be Slowly lowered to minutes to the base of the Greenwich, Saddles of cast-iron will support the cables on the top of the towers. They will consist of two parts—the lower one stationary, and the upper one moveable, rest ing upon wrought iron rollers. The saddles will have to support a pressure of 600 tons, whenever the bridge is loaded with a train of maximum weight. The towers are to be 60 feet high, 15 feet square at the base, and 8 at the top. The compact hard limestone used in the masonry of the towers will bear a pressure of 500 tons upon every foot square. MR. South-EasternMAC RE T G e O rm i T E OusL S ept.O Rai l w a y,R D S 2 7ln B Ed s s o .2n:bridge My Lord,—l have the honour to a cqua i n t y our L or d ahip with the result of the consideration given by the directors of the South-Eastern Railway Company to your Lordship's letter of the 16th of August. Your Lordship correctly states the opinion we formed that the dividends on the proposed line from Strood t o : Chilbam, if completed will be "nil," and to the expres sion of that belief we adhere. We address our attention immediately to - this point, for it is the main consideration which will influence, and perhaps govern, the decision of the proprietors of the company. Inc proposed scheme is simply and plainly a branch line, and will take its rank and place amidst all branch railways of unremunerative investment. It is essentially local, and will remain so—certainly for many years, and perhaps for ever. Assume the investment made and the line constructed, the traffic, per se, will not countervail the cost and expense of working. We hope your Lord ship will pardon and courteously accept our assurance, that if the proposed line would yield any remuneration, we should earnestly recommend it to our company. There is no hope or prospect of its doing so. We form our opinions from the test of experience. Your Lord ship accurately states our view, in saying that we do not think the proprietors of the South-Eastern Company will agree to a lease when made at 31. per cent. on the outlay, though such outlay should not exceed 600,0001.; and with the conviction ou our minds that the line, if formed, would be in point of remuneration worthless, it is not possible for us to recommend it for adoption to the proprietors. Your Lordship asks our opinion on the list of sub scribers to the proposed line, and we frankky give it. It appears that 18,000 out of 24,000 shares are sub scribed by contractors. and the remaining 6,000 are not yet taken by the landowners of the district. This is decidedly objectionable. It furnishes no evi dence of the stak e w h ic h t h e gent l eme n and landowners of the district pl e d ge to t h e permane nt welfare and interests of the scheme, but suggests and countenances The illuminated tached to it, twenty-four hours as, the centre voltaic cur of the crossing is moved by a cur rent from a good regulator in the office, and is liable, erefore, ated clock now in course of erection in " I .Y to the minute errors of this regulator during by An apparatus at iminute.

The bride was 75 years of age, and the bridegroom 40, and very deformed. The old lady shuffled to church on crutches, and was desired by , h e r in tended benedict "to look up and not be ashamed, A nd to " never mind being laughed at." On his return to Ryde, the husband made himself so conspi cuo us that the p olice locked hi m up f or t h e n i ght in the station. The clergyman that performed the m a rr i age ceremony declared that he had never undertake n a more painful duty.

CLoNIEEL, SUNDAY EVENINI.—Two men, named Hackett and Norman, have been lodged in the gaol here , on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of O'Cal laghan Ryan, Esq., in the count y o f W ater f ord, near this town, on Friday evening last. Some of their clothes were found with spots of blood on them, as also a hatchet, on which there was some blood. It is expected that they will be fully committed to-morrow. The subjoined particulars are from the Clonmel Chronicle: — Our reporter has returned from the scene of this frightful murder, which is situate in the sub-police dis trict of Kilmanaban, about three-quarters of a mile from the police-station at the latter village, about one-eighth of a mile beyond Whitesford House on the Dungarvon road, and in a piece well selected for such a deed of blood. There is a valley to the right as one goes from the village, well screened in, with the river Suir in the distance to the right, whilst to the left are Lord Strad broke 's plantations very much overhanging the road, i n this lonesome piece, attended by affording a dense cover for an assassin, as also an easy mode for escape. The unfortunate gentlemen WWI riding hound, from Clashganr.y, in the county of TifPerarey: and was coming in the direction of Klmanaban lii 13 _ have described, wards to Clonmel, when at the point we evading he and at the hour of half•past six in the evec the from behind . was shot, as some will say, the right, bat low wall Which bounds the road his favourite grey as others will have it, on the road. - 1 , s teep, with the the body over the low wall down n t ancient lime-kiln determination to throw it into t e depth and the where, in consequence of its g . r s es clothed, his body might over hanging briars with which it u I nca identification would be a e o n n d then tumbled have remained undiscovered and some friends who itc impossible.

Quinn, of Loughloher, Robert Malcona eon jug Ohitton, Eqs. Several officers of the gallant 32t1: regiment were also present. Our reporter has been to Kilmanahan, where the inquest was held before Mr. Dennehy, one of the coro ners for the county Waterford. Th e coroner was ac companied by Mr. Howell, of Dungarvon, by the resi dent magistrate, William Quinn, Esq., of Loughloher, and by the county inspectors. Dr. Sargint and Dr. John Smith made a post mortem examination, and on their exa mination produced the pellets which they extracted from the intestines of deceased. They also described their wounds—the nature of them, and their fatal character, and completely satisfied not only the jurors, but every one present at the investigation that these wounds were the cause of his death. The jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned the following verdict :—.. We find that the said O'Callaghan Ityan, Esq , on the evening of Friday, the 3d S eptember, 1852, was . riding on the road to Clonmel, when he ‘cas fired at, and shot on the left side of the abd omen, and divers ' deep wounds inflicted on his head, which caused his immediate death. And the jurors further find, thet the said wounds and shoot ing were f oully and maliciously inflicted on the said O'Callaghan R Esq.,person or persons to Ryan, by some the said jury at present unknown." After the inquest the body into was placed in a shell, and removed town. the HEAVYmetrop oli s storm of thunder and —Yesterday afternoon T w ri a n s N N D i E si a ted S b r y orf he . avy li g h tning, accompanied by a very copious fall of r a i n. At five o'clock, and for about a quarter of an hour before the storm burst, the air was thick and the sky veiled with vapour, so that the darkness was such as ordinarily over takes the day about two hours later. RFPRESENTATION OF EDINBURGII .We hear it confidently affirmed that Mr. Macaulay has abandoned his intention to take his seat for Edinburgh, ar.d that the Whigs have resolved to start Mr. Horsman in his room, as soon as a vacancy is declared.- Edinburgh Post. Rumours have been in circulation that Mr. Macaulay, in consequence of his health, had resolved to resign his seat iu Parliament. A c o ntemporary also adds that the Whig party, in contempla tion of Mr. Macaulay 's speedy retirement, had resolved to start Mr. Ilorsinan, the ex & em b er for Cockermouth. We can assure our readers, and on good authority, that there is no foundation for these rumours. Mr. Macaulay, on the meeting of Parliament in November will enter on that trust to which he has been s o honourably called.— Caledonian itiercury, 000, /''. 1 1 °,• °. / pa il. 1,31° ---- i pobt 42° .° ..---"--- [3 cot' ,oe l,9 s ° o' co ; • Jog " 1 t i 10 1 A cioso Ofte Cis ,6 2d ; pork, e gtb• I er r 111 be win; on 01 of 111, Our: tee bore Pr• rag host ) of i f alg a frec/
