The debate was resumed on the 6th by N. Helliard, in favour of authorising the President to give the notice. After some fuither discussion, a motion to make a !pedal order of the resolution was voted upon and lost. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole, and Mr. Boulin moved to take up the joint resolution, to give the one year's notice to England closing the joint occupancy. On the same day, the Bill for raising two companies of mounted riflemen, without objection, was referred to the Committee of the whole, and ordered to be printed. Mr. M'Connell requested permission to introduce a resolu tion, which the House allowed to be read for information. The reading excited much merriment and laughter, and was regarded as an appropriate burlesque upon the recent pro ceedings of Congress :-- " Resolved,—That we hail the elevated feeling which now unusually previals in our glorious confederacy to strengthen and consolidate the principles of Republican freedom, and extend the blessings of our free institutions in every practi cable quarter of the universe, in the spirit of Christian love and peaceful brotherhood. " Resolved,—That while we hail the admission of Texas (which fought her way to independence) as a sister state into our union, we now, with unaffected pride and sa tisfaction, hail the resolution of the Executive and Con gress of the United States to uphold our title to Oregon, and in the same spirit we observe the growing desire to incorporate Mexico, Yucatan, California, &c., into the con federacy, and that Ireland is fully entitled to share the blessings of our free institutions. " Resolved,—That the Irish people, as a nation, have long been ground down by the British misrule and misgovern ment, and while her people for centuries have been ground down by a monarchical yoke, they have always cherished the democratic principles of a republican government—the only government that has ensured freedom to man. " Resolved,—That the House will receive with due atten tion and consideration any communication that may be for warded by that high-minded and liberty-loving people with a view to effect such an object." the part of Great Britain to take offence at this measure. All these measures, and especially that of the increase of our military forces, must depend on the notice to Great Britain that this present state of things, which had existed for twenty or twenty-fiveyears, should no longer continue; thatwe would not have our hands and feet tied on this subject ; that the no tice must be given, and we must be free to act as we shall think our interest and the rights of the count!) , require. He thought it was time for this House to begin to consider what was due to that portion of our countrymen who were in one and another portion of that territory. They ought to know who they are. He confessed he was very imperfectly informed on the subject; and neither from Lieut. Wilkes's exploring expedition, or from Lieut. Fremont's journal, could he gain this information which was the most needed. He referred to the memorial which had been presented by the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs at an early day of the session, from American citizens in Oregon, and to another memorial on the subject, which had sot been pre sented to the House, as promising to impart something of the desired information, and he repeated that he was in favour of protecting them as far as we could protect thorn. He be lieved he had said all he proposed to say on this subject. The most material thread of his observations was first to give notice to Great Britain to terminate this convention—this was the first measure; and after that would come measures necessary for the protection of our citizens, such as the esta blishment of stockade forts and other measures relating to the increase of our military establishments—for he war against all these, unless the convention was first terminated. Mr. Adams having taken his seat, Mr. Faran endeavoured to offer a resolution, but the House, influenced by feelings of intense agitation respecting the sub ject before it, immediately moved an adjournment. On the 3d the debate was resumed by Mr. J. C. Ingersoll, who, far from considering the notice would precipitate war, believed it would on the contrary be the means of avoiding it. He expressed his opinion that the matter could and would be honourably adjusted, peaceably and without war. Mr. Darrat was for promptly and boldly asserting our rights to Oregon and giving the notice. And various other Members expressed similar views. On the sth Mr. Giddings declared that he was opposed to war, and thought it would come if the notice was given, yet by annexing Texes the power of the Government had been transferred to the slaveholder, and he would therefore ip for speedily settling the question in order to add to the number of free states, and thereby restore the balance of power. He was therefore in favour of giving the notice, even if war should come. He took it for granted, that if war should cf,me, they would, in addition to Oregon, get AOMONOMMIIIi i ii the Canticles, out of which we could make five or six fres - • states, and thus and in that way the balance of power could be brought back to the free states. Other Members made comments of a similar character, and the debate was concluded with a braggart war-speech by Mr. Sims. PARIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. SITTING OF JAN. 12.—PRESERVATION OF WOOD—TANNING LEATHER. A communication was made by M. Letellier on the pre servation of wood. M. Letellier states that, as long ago as 1837, he pointed out the means of preparing wood by im - mersion, first, by impregnating it with deutochlorure of mercury and then with gelatine, which rendered the mercu rial salt insoluble, and, in December 1840, he pointed out the disadvantages of the use of pyrolignite of iron, as recom mended by M. Boucherie. There is scarely any subject on which so much has been said in the Academy and the jour nals as the preservation of wood. There are at least thirty competitors for the honour of the discovery, and yet up to this moment we hear of no establishment being formed for any operation on a large scale. M. Boucherie appears to have passed six or seven years in experiments only. Mr. Banner had his patent three years for Payne's process—which is extensively adopted in England, where it is said to yield large profits to the patentee—before he could form even the nucleus of a company, and though he was able at last to get together a board of direction, embracing some of the most eminent and high-sounding names in France, the affair is still-born, the public, in its eagerness for wild schemes on the Bourse, having shown no disposition to take shares. This is the fate of half or two-thirds of the really useful discoveries and inventions that are announced in France. Law found plenty of dupes for his schemes; the proprietors of the bitumen companies let in thousands for heavy losses with their unfounded pretensions, and even at this moment, in spite of their experience of the pa , t, capital is to be found for schemes that are equally wild ; but in vain does the true disciple of useful science call for the co-opera tion of the public for assistance to execute his plans. A very important communication was made by M. Payen, in the name of Dr. Turnbull, of London, relative to his prac tical application of the theory of endosmosis and extosmosis, discovered by M. Dutrochet, to the process of tanning, and also the application of the soluble principle of sugar to the same purpose. We give here a short explanation of what is meant by endosmosis and extosmosis :—When a membrane intervenes between two liquids of different densities, they produce two currents, the one outwards called extosmoisis, and the other inwards called endosmosis. By this new physical law the currents interchange until they become of the same specific gravity ; thus Dr. Turnbull, by sewing up a bide filled with one liquid of a certain specific gravity. and then immersing the hide in another liquid of greater or lesser density, keeps up this reciprocal action until such time as the hide is thoroughly tanned. The statement made by Dr. Turnbull is. so extraordinary, that it as tonished the Academy, and has equally astonished some of our Paris contemporaries, who observe that his process, if real, eclipses everything that has been discovered in the practical arts for these hundred years. The best answer to the doubts expressed as to the reality of the discovery, is to be found in the fact that the process is carried on in London on a very large scale, and the experiments which Dr. Turnbull has been performing in Paris for the last month, in presence of many of the first tanners. By the ordinary process of tanning it requires eighteen months to tan an ox-hide, and 4001 b. of bark. Dr. Turnbull tans the hide in fourteen days, and with only 1001 b. of bark. Here, then, is a saving of out lay for the process, and the tanner, with the same amount of capital, can do thirty-six times as much as under the old system. And this is not all. Dr. Turnbull's process gives an extra weight of leather, varying from 15 to 251 b. per cent. Calve-skins, which under the old process regoke an immersion in the vat of five, six, and seven months, are by Dr. Turnbull's process tanned in two days. But, it will be asked, is not this rapidity of execution attended with infe riority to the leather produced? On the contrary, it is much better, for all the saturation required for the pro duction of good leather is as fully effected by the new as the old . pro cess ; and one of the great causes of bad leather_ is entirely avoided. The first part of the ordinary mode of tanning is to remove the hair from the akin—to do this lime is used, and before the ha be detached, the corrosive ac ion injury to the skin, render of the lime always pry ing it spongy, and therefore readily a su t ece th p e ti s b a le m o e f ti m m o e is t t h ure at when the leather is made up for use, the interests of the tanner are affected by loss of weight. Dr. Turnbull effects the removal of the hair by the use of sugar or any substance containing saccharine matter ' • or, if lime be used, it is removed by the application of sugar, before it can do any injury, whereas, by the old process, a port i on of it must for ever remain in the skin. Hitherto eve ry pro cess—comparativrapidity, for rapidity in tannin g -comparative we mean, for when M. Seguin contrived to turn out ox-hides tanned in five or six months, the fact was thought wonderful—haa been attended with loss of quality, for the process was ex. pedited by the use o f ac id s. By he new process not only are no acids used, in addition to the usual tanning materials, but even the portion of acid which those materials contain is destroyed. We state all this, as the French say, with cannaissance de cause, for we have been present at two of the experiments performed by Dr. Turnbull, and had not only the evidence of our hands and eyes as to the quality of the leather, but also the advantage of hearing the tanners who were present declare, that every part of the process had beets conducted under their own control, and with skins marked by themselves. A. commission of the Academy, consisting of Messrs. Payen, Boussengault, Dumas, and Dutrochet, was instantly appointed to visit the tan-yard, where these experi ments are going on, and to make its report. ch SITTINGS OF THB HOUSE OF LORDS LAST SESSION.-- Yesterday returns were issued by order of the House of Lords, dated Jan. 22, showing the number of days in each month the House of Lords sat during the session of 1845; and also the number of days on which the several public Bills came from the House of Commons, and the days on which they passed their several stages in that House during the same session. From the former return it appears that the House of Lords sat 14 days in February, 10 in March, 16 in April, 11 in May, 17 in June, 20 in July, and 7 in August—. making altogether 95 days their Lordships met during the last session. The second partion of the document gives a list of the various Bills sent from the House of Commons, the days on which they were brought up to the Lords, and the days on which each such public Bill passed thronch its 1 various stages in the House of Lords.

It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan tages of Lite Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated. This Company is formed for granting every description of Life Assurance, Annuity, and Endowmentr; Loans either for long or short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis factory security for the payment of, premium and interest, and the repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be agreed; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of Assurance, and every other Oescription of property. Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,0081. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its t' Tame, The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted scale. One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, with the additional gem 7of a subscribed capital. With this view, four-fifths of the profit* Wittig from Policies affected by parties on the terns of particip, ion will be divided every three years, after the first five years, nnioug those who assure for the whole term of life. The sum eo divided among the Assured to be applied to the reduction of the itnnaal premium, or added to the sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at tke option of the Assured. Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-half only of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rata of 5 per cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the arrest of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a fall parti cipation of the profits. For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been adopted, which is as moderate as it *an be rendered consistently with the interests of the Coinpany. The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal t• the value of the policy, on its security. In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the assured afforded by the most respectable established companies. A Table of Premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES. This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this mode of investment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company during their own lives or the lives of their nominee. The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or tkeir respec tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an nuity granted is 61. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 6/. ; but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be divided among the survivors, until they are reducto six.. eash of whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life but as they re spectively die off, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of subscribers or their nominees. This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in niftily in stances would he otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen dence and comfort in their declining years. Parents may also by these means provide for their children. Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations. Applications for Shares, in the following form, to be directed to Clihar4 , .

GENERAL PASLEY and the GAUGE QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l had laid down a rule not to reply to any of the articles in which my opinions or reports are at tacked, either in the daily or weekly papers, or in those specially devoted to the subject of railways; nor to enter into any discussion with persons who propose new in ventions to prevent railway accidents, all of whom deem their own projects infallible, and some of whom are unreasonable enough to be offended by my returning a mere acknowledgment of the receipt of their commu nications. To enter into a controversy with the former, or into a correspondence with the latter of the parties alluded to, would waste the whole of my time in inter terminable altercation, leading to no useful result. Con sequently, when I have been charged with an equal want of practical knowledge and of science ; when I was accused of astounding ignorsnce, because I reported against the use of improper switches, viz., shifting rails and cross-rails, to connect with a passenger railway, which had caused the death of two men; when I had been described as an infirm, superannuated person, in capable of supporting the fatigues necessary for the efficient execution of my public duties ; when I have been reproached with neglect, because I did not examine the levels of every rail and of every chair, before I allowed a line to be opened, or when, after I had re ported a new railway to be in-a safe state, accidents oc curred afterwards, through carelessness, or even when slips occurred afterwards, caused by continued rains and inundations, to which persons who understand anything of railways know that the best are liable for years after they are opened; when my inspections have been alleged to be a useless form, and nothing More than a party of pleasure in a first-class carriage , ending in an entertain ment provided by the Directors, whose invitatiortron" the contrary I have always declined, when I could do so without a want of courtesy—l have passed over such misrepresentations with silent contempt, sensible that the falshood and absurdity of the whole of them is well known to the Directors of the Railway Companies whose lines I have inspected, as well as to their officers and the persons in their employment, from all of whom, in my official intercourse with them, I have inva riably experienced, not merely civility, but respect and cordiality. In respect to the statements made by me when sum moned to attend coroners' inquests, held in consequence of fatal railway accidents, the case is different. I have always had a great reluctance to appear on such occa sions, for not having been myself present at any of them, I could not, of course, say any thing from personal know ledge as to the facts. Only in the trial at the York As sizes, on the 15th of last month, of Thomas Wheatley, the engineman, who ran with a pilot engine into the rear of a train which he was sent to assist, which he did on an ascending gradient with such violence as to cause the death of Mr. Boteler and another gentleman, I certified, from personal knowledge, that the breaks of the tender at tached to that engine, which were asserted by the stoker to have been unserviceable, in palliation of the pri soner's conduct, were, on the contrary, perfectly ser viceable, they being the first and only pattern that had been used on railways for many years, at d being still in very general use, though mote powerful ones have recently been adopted in making new tenders. Here there could be no misrepresentation or mistake, and my opinion was not asked for, though if it had been I should not, of course, have withheld it, it having been previously submitted to Lord Dalhousie, the President of the Board. of Trade, as will appear when the reports of =the Rail way Department of Government shall be published. In respect to the report of my proceedings on the 6th of August last, when I visited the spot where a fatal accident had taken place, between the Wendon and Chesterford stations of the Eastern Counties Railway, and when afterwards giving evidence at the Coroner's inquest held in conse quence of it at Littlebury, on the 15th of the same month where my opinion was pointedly asked, the case was so far different, that the newspaper reports, which included not only my evidence but my private remarks in conver sation, being not entirely, though not very nearly, accu rate, led to attacks upon me not only for what I said, but also for what I did riot say. Still it did not appear worth while for me to take any notice of those articles. In the ease, however, of my evidence on the late coro- ' ner's inquest at Thetford, on the 13th instant, it has been so inaccurately reported in yours and in the other morning papers of the day following—not only opinions, but even facts having been misstated—teat I owe it to my own character to correct the errors into which the reporters have fallen, as it is not fair to assume that a person said what he did not say, and gave opinions which he never entertained, and then to attack such statements and opinions as if they had been really his. I seldom read the numerous papers on railway subjects, having better opportunities of judging of points connected with my own official duties than the editors or correspondents of those papers are able to afford ; but the editor of one of them usually sends me the articles that he writes against me, and, on receiving his last number, I found, after perusing a few line s of it. that he grounded an attack on me upon the erroneous passages in the newspaper report of my evidence at Thetford and at Littlebury, on which I laid aside his paper, as I have done on former occasions, without reading any more of it. for such attacks are to me a matter of perfect indif ference. After this I found that one of your corres dondents, who signs himself " 5.," has written a letter, published in your paper of the 15th inst., headed "General Paisley on Railway Accidents," in which, under an erroneous impression that I am a partizan of the broad gauge, he controverts my supposed opinions, but with more temper and moderation than my other assailants. If he had known my real sentiments, he might have saved him. elf the trouble, not of writing the letter to you, in which he discusses the subject of long and short boilers, but of mixing up my name with it, as far as the gauges are concerned. My opinion on that question has always been, that the narrow gauge is to.) narrow, and the broad gauge much wider than was absolutely necessary ; and, therefore, I recom mended in March, 1843, that a gauge of 5 feet 3 inches should be established for all railways in Ireland, in pre ference either to the narrow gauge of the English rail ways (4 feet 8i inches), adopted on the Dublin and Kingstown railway, or to the broad gauge of the Ulster Railway (6 feet 2 inches), which, though ten inches narrower than that of the Great Western Railway, I considered wider than was absolutely necessary, My opinions on this head have not been altered since, and on being examined by Lieu tenant-Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, Mr. Airy, Astro nomer-Royal, and Professor Barlow, the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the gauge of railways on the 18th ult., before the accident on the Norfolk Railway occurred, I stated that the extent of Railway lines in England would certainly be doubled, and might probably be trebled, in the course of some years, and therefore 1 thought that both the present wide gauge of the Great Western Railway, and its extension and branches, as well as the narrow guage of the other railways in Great Britain, ought to be abolished, and the 5 feet 3 inches gauge adopted instead. The trills between the broad and narrow gauges made under the inspection of the Gauge Commissioners, by means of experimental passenger trains and goods trains, loaded with equal weights, had not then taken place ; but previously to my being examined by the Gauge Commissioners, I had been required, in the course of my duty, to give an opinion whether the speed of tlie express trains then running on various railways might not be dangerous to the public safety. As I knew from long experience that the oscillation of a railway carriage was no proof of danger, and its steadiness not always a proof of safety, I theretore in vestigated this subject by travelling on the locomotive engines of all the express trains in England, which affords the only just criterion of safety or of danger; and I found that not only the engines of the Great Western, but those of the narrow gauge lines, such as the South-Western, the Brighton, Grand Junction, Mid land Counties, and other Railway Companies, whether constructed according to the designs and specifications of their own locomotive engineerss, with outside or inside cylinders, or from the designs of Messrs. Sharp Brothers, Hawthorn, Fairbairn, and other skilful loco motive engine-makers, as well as the new pattern engine of Mr. Bodmer, were all steady, especially the last, and consequently all safe ; but wheni tried the White Horse of Kent, one of Mr. Robert Stephenson's last patented long-boiler engines, on the 18th of September last, I found that it ro lled like a ship at sea when Pushed to a velocity of about 45 miles an hour between London and ' Tunbridge, on the South-Eastern railway, an d thi s uneasy motion having increased_ in propo r ti on to t h e speed, I cam e to a conclusion, if an attempt were ma d e with such eng ines to rival the speed of the Great Western expres s trains, that they would run off the rails an d oversee. I h a ve expressed this opinio n s i nce to the Noble Preside nt, and to my colleagues, the other officers of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, and to railway officers whom I hav have e met with on d uty, not pupils of Mr. ex cepting gentlemen who been Robert Stephenson, or who are employed on railways of which he is e ither the engineer-in-chi e f or the con sulting engineer. I have also stated the same opinion enines s t o enginemen in chare of locomove travelled of , but thi I construc tion, on which I have sin ti ce never had occasion, as mentioned in the newspaper re men that they were actually in port, to tell these danger, for they never went down_ descending gra dients at a greater speed than about thirty miles an hour ; and they never exceeded the speed of 45 miles an hour on level portions of ra__way, w hi lst I was present. Hence I did not think that th e d angero us character of these engines would , ever b e pract i c ally proved, because bot h on the }eastern Counties and Nor folk Railways, where they were most used, the time o necessity for exceeding between the stoppi n g stations of the swiftest trains was so regulated, that there wasn that speed, excep tin g on the old w ell - consolidated por tien between London and Bishop's Stortford, which I have travelled over at 45 miles an hour on an eng i n e of the construction alluded to, but _Tien at that speed it oscillated a great dea l ; when emi "-ea, it became Mr. steady. My former o p inion of Robert Stephenson's new long boiler engines was favourable, f or when I f i rst travelled on them on the 12th of April, 1844, whilst in specting the Yarmouth and Norwich Railway, it was at o rate not exceeding from 30 to 35 miles an hour, at which they are steady and safe ; nor did I discover any ohjectiou to them on thieGeavcsend and Rochester Rail way, where they are always used at moderate speed, until I travelled on the White Reese of Kent with a trains of both ; namely, that the narrow gauge has failed in the most important points of railway travel ling, as it has not room between the wheels for a boiler of sufficient power to obtain that speed, combined with safety, which the travelling public have a right to ex pect, and which the express trains of the Great Western Railway Company have proved to be perfectly prac ticable. This is another argument for abolishing the narrow gauge and adopting 5 feet 3 inches, as the standard gauge of all our railways, as that will admit of a boiler of more than four feet in diameter, which is the deu questions,sua perfect manner, to which b maximum dimension hitherto adopted for the engines of the Great Western Railway. To conclude, I have no doubt that the reporters for the Lond on morn i ng papers wou ld h ave g i ven my accuracy,evi litfaktuhionetgcordooonlnw)e,nr exam,hwraehdpalti ed lsaid,i nbeud me few n ince with the and readi ng it ov er again, and asking me whether it was correct. But he did not follow this mode, only asking a stated my reasons in full, lest there should be any A s te tr r a m et y ofit, evidencethat misconception of m y op i n i ons. In so doing 1 spoke too rapidly for any per son , h owever well educated and intelligent, to report accur a t e ly, un l ess h e were an engineer, who understood the det a il s o f l ocomot i ve en ginessed closed, the of Coroner r lwa r y e constructions. f abstract he had made, which I signed, and for which lam re sponsible, but not for the matter contained in the news paper reports. Before I quitted the Town-hall, two reporters, brothers, introduced themselves to me, and asked me to correct their notes, to which I agreed, being anxious that my statements and opinions should he accurately reported in a matter of so much delicacy and importance. One of them accordingly called on me afterwards at the Bell Inn, and read over such parts of his own notes on my evidence as he considered doubtful, which I corrected wherever he had mistaken my mean ing. If he had read over the whole to me, as I sug gested, it would have been more satisfactory, for in that ease no possible mistake could have been made ; but he assured me that he was confident it was all right, which I could not help doubting, as he seemed to have taken hasty notes of the heads of my evidence, trusting to memory for putting in into form afterwards, in which, if he had been more successful, I would not have troubled you with this long letter, which I shall be very much obliged to you to insert in your columns.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, C. W. PASLEY, Major-General, &c. London, Jan. 19. swift train of the South-Eastern Railway Company, as before rentioned. I n my evidence before the coroner's inquest, at Thet ford, I therefore ascribed the accident party to the im prudence of the engineman in running down a long descending gradient of 1 in 200 at the utmost speed that his engine could command, and pertly to the peculiar construction of that engine, which I considered unsafe at a speed exceeding 45 miles an hour ; a speed that was perfectly unnecessary oc any part of that line, but espe cially on that portion of it where the accident occurred, between Harlingroad Station and Thetford, a distance of only 8 miles, for travelling over which 46 minutes were allowed. As I inferred, from a question put to me, that the jury had an erroneous notion, that the engine to which this accident occurred, as well as those which ran off the rails on the Eastern Counties line first near Chesterford, and afterwards near Littleheach, were engines built for the wide gauge, and therefore unsafe for the narrow gauge, I explained to them that the width between the wheels on the narrow gauge was too small to admit of boilers of such large diameter as those of the engines of the Great Western Railway, which had greater power than any before used. Mr. Robert Stephenson tried to get over this difficulty by increasing the length of his boilers,since hecould not increase their diameter beyond a certain limit, in hopes that the greater length of the boilers, and consequently of the tubes, would produce an additional evaporating surface, and render his long en gines superior in power to all the former short boiler engines of the narrow gauge, as well as to the engines with boilers of larger diameter of the Great Western. In this attempt, which at the time appeared very promising, I consider that he has failed, as I seated in my evidence before the coroner's inquest - ; for his engines with long boilers are by no means so powerful as those of the Great Western, nor do I think that they excel in power ; indeed, from my personal observation, I should say that they are inferior in power to other engines made for the narrow gauge, having boilers of moderate length, to which they are certainly much Inferior in safety; for I have travelled on the engines alluded to, whether having outside or inside cylinders, at the rate of 50 miles an hour or upwards ; and I am of opinion that though certainly inferior to those of the Great Western Railway in power, they are perfectly safe at the utmost speed they are capable of at taining. Indeed, I have been informed by railway officers not personally interested in the battle of the gauges, that one of Messrs. Sharps Brothers' engines with a light express train, travelled over the wole dis tance of 31 miles, between Manchester and Crewe, in 30 minutes, which must have exceeded 60 miles an hour for great part of the way. But when I rode upon the same engine afterwards, on the 23d ultimo, from Stock port towards Crewe, whilst it was drawing a train of 474 tons, in a stiff gale, it only accomplished 10 miles in 13 minutes and 52 seconds, which induced the narrow gauge party not to employ it in the trial of power and speed before the gauge commissioners, as they had at first intended ; but to transfer the scene of action to York, and to use engines of the long holler pattern. The peculiar danger in Mr. Robert Stephenson's long boiler engines, whether made with outside or inside cy linders, is, that, in consequence of their extreme length, he has placed the axles of all his wheels under the boiler, having the fire-box and dome an overhanging weight in the rear, which was never done before, ex cept in the short four-wheeled engines of Mr. Bury's pattern, on the London and Birmingham Railway, which I do not consider by any means so good as six wheeled engines; but in travelling upon one of them by an ex press train on the 6tb of October last, I found it steady and safe, in consequence of the tender being screwed up close to the engine with buffers and springs, which con verts the tw3 as it were into an eight-wheeled engine. I never travelled an a four-wheeled engine at a very great speed before, but lam informed by locomotive engineers and enginemen who have, that until this improvement was adopted, they pitched and rolled like a sailing vessel in a gale of wind. Probably the same expedient may mil der Mr. Stephenson's long-boiler engines also much steadier, and consequently safer. In respect to the question put to me by the coroner, whether shutting off the steam suddenly at high speed could cause the carriages to run against the engine with such violence as to knock it off the rails, I explained that a locomotive engine being considerably heavier than the tender, and at least double the weight of any of the carriages of a railway train, and the whole moving, of course, with equal velo city whilst connected, I thought that the act of suddenly shutting off the steam from the engine could not possibly cause the carriages to press upon it, because having much greater momentum it would retain its speed longer; and if the connexion between the engine and tender, and the carriages of a train were cast off immediately after shutting off the steam, the engine would leave the car riages behind, and travel to a greater distance than any of them before it stopped. If shutting off the steam suddenly could have any effect, as I found by trial that it had not, accidents like that near Thetford ought to occur every day ; for it is a common practice with en ginemen, on preparing to stop, to shut off their steam all at once ; as I observed that the driver of one of Messrs. Stotherd and Slaughter's engines did, the same evening that I returned from Thetford, when I took the opportunity of travelling some stages on that engine ; but this he did of his own accord, and not by my desire, as your reporter stated through mistake. The experi ment, however, can easily be tried on a descending gra dient. Let an engine with its tender, drawing a train of coal waggons, be set in motion. lam ready to go with Mr. Bidder on any of the narrow gauge engines, except those of the long- boiler pattern, at full speed, down an incline, and to shut off the steam suddenly, and to cast off the train immediately afterwards by dis engaging a pin, as is done by the auxiliary engines of heavy down-trains of the London and Birmingham Rail way Company, near their Camden-town station, several times every day, and I will prove to him that the effect is null. Should he have doubts as to the safety of the experiment, he may ride in a carriage in the rear, whilst I stand on the engine, in as much confidence of the safety of my position as he can have of his own. But I shall not argue the point with him in writing. He has given his opinion, and I have given mine; and his time may be better employed than in paper warfare, which can prove nothing. Having always had occasion to approve of the railway works actually designed and executed by Mr. Bidder, though nominally under Mr. Robert Stephenson, as en gineer-in-chief, in which he has displayed equal skill and judgment, and especially in his iron swing-bridge over the river Wensum, near Norwich, which does him very great credit, it was a matter of regret to me, that I could not conscientiously do otherwise than entirely dissent from Mr. Bidder's opinion in respect to the cause of the laccident on the Norfolk Railway. Having nOw explained my evidence in a clearer manner than;was done in the report made in the _morn ing papers of the 14th instant, before alluded to, I must notice some errors as to fact in that report; after having corrected which, the remainder of it will be quite accu• rate. In the first place, I did not say , that the flanges of Messrs. Stotherd and Slaughter's engines were deficient in depth; on the contrary, they had the usual depth of 14 inch, which I stated as being quite sufficient; but they were set nearly at right angles to the tread of the wheel, contrary to the rule followed in all other locomo tive engines that I have seen, which is to round off that angle nearly in the form of a quadrant. Though similar to Mr. Robert Stephenson's last pattern in other respects, the fire-box did notprojeet entirely in the rear as a dead weight, but had its centre placed over the axle of the hind wheels, which rendered it necessary to raise the top of the boiler about nine inches higher, and conse quently, though better balanced on their wheels, they had the disadvantage of being more top-heavy than Mr. Stephenson's pattern. The present locomotive engineer of the Eastern Counties Railway assured me that they had not only been all provided with new wheels of the usual form, but that they were much improved since two of them ran off the rails and overset, the first with ex cessive speed down an incline and along a curve, which terminated fatally; the second on a level and straight portion of the line, and at very moderate speed, so that no person was injured. If these engines had been an exact copy of Mr. Stephqnson's pattern, the last-men tioned accident would not have talten place. In mentioning the gauge Commissioners, there were also several inaccuracies in your reporter's account of my evidence, in consequence of which I was obliged to write to them to explain, lest they should consider me wanting in courtesy towards them. In the first place, being independent of the Boar d of Trade, they agnadveno sent opinion, as implied in the newspaper n a n o rep p o e r r t n o e the nt a l Board train , o o n f t t h h e e accident a that c o c r o th u I o c ' o t c En d r ng r e d l a n to id Railway on the I st inst ., b y a ong. b o iler engine run thlepdree.- ning off the rails and being o_ set; a s u f t m e r e w , a o rd d xi s inquired, s into eor e i t t a a r y t Y o r v o . e r t k r h , a t i ric for though they p om e p s e a n n c y e , , evidences wohifio officially by h)be.fotrhe tgentleman, them on that a I)°e t o3ges occasion were wwoieftrhtehae ep transmitted rort of the accident, as required by Act of Parliament . On inspecting the engine itself, at Derby, last week, I found that instead of being an exact c o py o f Mr. Robert Stephensons long-boiler pattern, as I had supposed at the period of the inquest , it differed from it in two points; first, in having been made with inside cylin ders, in order to do away with the oscillation generally, but I think erroneously, ascribed to outside cylinders; and, secondly, in having an oval boiler in order to obtain greater sectional area than the narrow gauge admits of when the cylindrical form is used. Neither of these alterations can be considered an improvement, as they both produce the unfavourable effect of rendering it necessary to raise the boiler higher than in Mr. Stephen son's pattern. It was also erroneously stated by your reporter, that the gauge Commissioners were in a train from Bristol to Gloucester, upon the engine of which I travelled with Mr. M‘Connel, locomotive superintendent of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, erroneously styled Mr. M'Connel, when I first tried the experiment of shutting off the steam in going at full speed. Moreover, when I tried the same experiment a second time, by permission of Mr. Brunel, on the engine of an experi mental goods' train, on the Great Western Railway, in which the Commissioners were travelling from Padding ton to Didcot, it had a load of 205 tone only, instead of 2,000 tons, as stated in the newspaper report. I shall here observe, though it made no part of my evidence before the coroner's inquest at Thetford, with which the question of the gauges had Very little to do, that I have drawn an in ference from the performances of the experimental TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—A long letter from General Pasley, of the Board of Trade, Inspector-General of Railways, on various matters connected with railways, especially as to the construction of engines, appears in your paper of to-day. The Inspector-General's letter is avowedly to correct errors in the report of statements made by him at the coroner's inquest lately held at Thetford; but among other general remarks on points connected with rail ways, the Inspector-General thinks fit to prejudge the inferences to be drawn from the late experiments on en gines of the broad and narrow gauges. The parties interested in the narrow gauge, who were commanded by the Commisssioners to undertake the ex periments, desire me to explain that they were made for the information of the gauge commissioners—to whom, and not to the Inspector-General, the deci sion' of the question of gauge—including, therefore, the inferences to be drawn from the late experi ments—are referred by her Majesty ; and that consequently, the correct and authentic report of these experiments has been put into the hands of the gauge Commissioners only. They further desire me to say, that the reports which have been published in the newspapers, from the omission of essential facts, da not afford the means of deducing from the experiments any correct inference as to the issue of the question to de termine which they were made. The parties at whose request I write are, therefore, they believe, in possessien of more precise information as to these experiments than is possessed by General Pasley, who, though present at the experiments on the broad gauge, was, it is to be remarked, not present at the experiments on the narrow; but respect to the Commis sioners, under whose consideration the matter still rests, prevents them from saying more than that they them selves feel satisfied that a correct statement of the whole facts connected with the experiments leads to a directly opposite conclusion to that expressed by General Pasley, and that the results of the experiments, as far as they prove anything, tend to confirm in every respect the evidence (derived from long experience) which has been laid before the Commissioners in favour of the efficiency, as regards safety, speed, command of power, economy, and convenience. of the engine which the narrow gauge admits of, as compared with those which the broad gauge admits of.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, London, Jan. 21. GEORGE P. BIDDER. ERICAN NEWS. THE OREGON QUESTION. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The 'c ew York packet-ship Henry Clay, Captain N'ye, arrived here this afternoon, after a voyage of eighteen da) s from New York, having left that port on the Bth inst., and brought papers of her day of sailing. The news by this arrival is again of a very warlike tendency. A resolution from the Committee on Foreign Affairs was brought up by its chairman, Mr. 'Wenthrop, on the 3d inst., to the House of Representatives, to the effect that immediate notice be given to Great Britain of the termination of the joint occupancy of the Oregon territory, after a very lengthy debate lasting four days, in which the venerable J. Q. Adams took part in sup port of the Bill. It was referred to a Committee of the whole House ; but, upon the motion that it be made a special order for the first Monday in Febretry, and which required a vote of two-thirds to carry it, it was lost, the Ayes being 102, and the Noes 89. During the debate, an outline of which we subjoin, the most violent language was indulged in towards Great Britain, and the asser tion of the right of the United States to the whole of Oregon, and the vehement repetition that they would stand for "the whole of the Oregon or none" was of fre quent occurrence; in fact, the whole of the proceedings are characterised by the greatest violence of language, and is throughout utterly unworthy of a deliberative assembly. The agitation of the question had greatly affected the markets. Stocks of all descriptions were lower, busi nesS in many kinds of produce dull and slack, and al thOugh the best papers in the city of New York depre cated the war feeling, which was thus being so assi duously fanned into a flame, yet it is evident that the feeling has taken a strong hold on the people, and mlgh work mischief. TWENTY-NINTH CONGRESS—HOUSE OF REPRE SENTATIVES. WASHINGTON, JAN. 2, 1846.—Various resolutions, de clarimg the American right to the whole of Oregon, were in troduced; and upon the question being put to the vote, the yeas were 75, and the nays 89. A Bill was then introduced for the organisation of rifle men, as also for an inc r e ase of infantry, arti llery, e and d rago ons, for the purpose of prot ectin g emigrants to E lc D 2 r g e n After an animated discussio n of the q uestion, Mr. J. uin y Adams rose amid addressed the House. A fter apologising to the representatives for his physical inability to enter upon the important matter before them with adequate power, he proceeded to say that he hoped the first measure adopted by Congress would be to give in the most solemn manner the notice to Great Britain which the treaty required " Let it be made the special order of the day ; for, in his opinion, they were wasting time in legislating or talking anything about the increase of the defences of the country until we give this notice. It did not follow that there would be war; it did not even follow necessarily that weshouldtake possession of the country. We would only say to Great Britain, after negotiating twenty odd years under that convention, made and repeated, we do not choose to negotiate any longer in this way. We choose to take possession of our own. If we have to settle what is our own, or whether any portion be lon gs to you, may negotiate. We might nego tiate after taking possession. That at was thr military way of doing business. It was the way in whi. Frederick 11. of Prussia had negotiated with the Emperor of Austria for Silesia. He said he hoped the first step taken would be to give, in the most solemn manner, notice to Great Britain. Then we should have our elbows clear, and could do as we pleased. It did not . follow as a necessary con . - ee9uence that we sho u ld then take possession, but he hoped it would follow as a consequence, and a. very immediate one. But whether we give the notice or not, it did not necessarily draw after it hostility or war. If Great Britain chose to take it as an indication of hostility, and then to commence hos tilities, why, we had been told that there would be but one heart in this country % and God Almighty grant that it might be so! But if this should be so, we should hear no more of these extraordinary terrors of war on the part of the gentleman from South Carolina, whose course on the Texas question had been contrasted with his position on this question. How gallant the gentleman was at the time that Texas was in question was not for him to say. He did not wish to draw any comparison between the disposition of Members of this House for the acquisition of Texas, and the —not acquisition but—taking our own, of Oregon. He said if this war came—which God forbid ! and of which, by the way, he bad no apprehension whatever—he hoped the whole country would go into it with one heart and one mighty hand ; and if that were done he presumed the question be tween us and Great Britain would not last long, neither Ore gon nor any country north of this latitude would long re main to Great Britain. Strong as was his moral aversion to modern war and military establishments, then, if he should have the breath of life at the time when the war commences, he hoped he should be able and willing to go as far in any sacrifice necessary to make the war successful as any Mem ber of this House. He could say no more. He now said, and he repeated, that until the notice ,vas given to Great Britain, he was not prepared to go for any of the subsequent t mea sures. He thought we might with great p ro p riety, withoent, waiting for the effect of the notice, extend to our co : la uli r ;,?; e n i l by who are in possession of parts of that territory Great Britain, the laws of the countin and the prnootßtecuttiohn of the esaw country in any form which may be neeessairir v. y at all, He no necessity for an increase of the E ? supposed that the measures taeke.iireaaatttnieurfrittiaireinn, ontoicredimd-ohueldsunpo! be, of a disposition orremivet commence war upon it. But for the pose that they ry _heeardimdysu;ppose some additional occupation of thweoutetrito and, however unveil ling would be necessary for th ling he was ever to give his vote for the increase of the mili tary forces of the country, he thought he should overcome the difficulties in the way, especially on the appearance on DA Y.) - I D o y Po -se.'"
