HOItATIO BARNETT, • Secretary to the South Staffordshire Railway Compny. South Staffordshire Railway-office, Bradford-street, Walsall, October 13, 1846. MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY.—A meeting of working men of Manchester . , convened by placard and advertise ments, was held 'last evening in the Town flail; " To memorialise Lord John Russell to open the ports." The large room of the hall was tilled to overflowing. At a quarter before eight o!elock, Mr. Abel •Heywood, Dr, John Watts, and other proMoters of the meeting, came upon the platform, and on the motion of Dr. JOHN WATTS, the year of the ghat strike, of the failure of the. harvest and of a general stagnation of trade—and during that year he found We only imported of forfign and cAonial wheat 2,089,089 quarters, , and yet in the present year, with a plentiful harvest, we had imported the immensely large quantities he ha 1 read,—(Applause.) Ile should not do his duty if; knowing, he did not state these facts, and let it be known that speculation was 'not only d o ing mischief in corn, but in cotton also.—(Hear, tu d ap pl 'use.) The resolution then passed unanimously. Mr. it. .1. RrcumtnsoN, in moving the memorial to Lord Russell, denied the accuracy of Mr. M ley's conclusions from his figures. Of 89,768 quarters of wheat imported in September last, only 40,628 quay tern (ndarly one-half) were taken for home consumptior, ar.d Mr. Mandiey's tables, rightly interpreted, would show that not more than ode-half of the corn imported was entered for home consumption ; nay, 'that for some time, the exports of wheat and flour had been nearly as great as the imports. Mr. Mandley told them there was no such thing as famine. What, was there none in Ire land ? He read tables of the rise of prices of provisions in Ireland, and said that shover the . continent of Europe a there was great scarcity gram. The memorial did not say that there was a famine,' but that wheat was high priced. The Bs. or 10i. duty stood in the Way. of bring ing foreign wheat into the English market. He read the memorial as follows : . " TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, FIRST LORD • - OF THE TREASURY, ROCHESTER. At ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, the 13th instant, John David Chambers, Esq , held a court at the Guild hall of this city,•to revise the list of voters in the-election of knights of the shire for the county of Kent. .This district includes the Laythe of Aylesford, c .fitaining 20 parishes, find it is very remarkable that there was not a case for the Court. Mr. Cha m be rs , th ere f ore, adjourned his sitting until three o'clock ; in the afternoon, when he announced that he should take the lists for the city and borough to 'revise; and at that hour the Court as sembled. This Company appied for an Act in the last session, and the Bill pas , ecl.the House of -Commons,- and was only defeated in the House of Lords upon. technical non-compliance NT it II the standing orders, so trifling, indeed, that the Commons' Select Committee on standing orders had speCially reported that the Bill might and ought to be procee%l6.l with. • ' Mr. ABEL I.IEYWooD was called to the chair, i❑ taking which he said: —At tile latter end of last year a meeting the working classes was ailed to memorialise Sir R. .The line may now be made on its original integrity, from Uttoce ter, where!it will. join the North Staffordshire Railway; to a junc tion with the South Staffordshire, near IValsall. The latter Com pally having obtained an Act, last session, for constructing the line from Walsall to Dudley, will execute that, the most expensive part of the Whole sche - rne, and'render it unnecessary for this Company to require' more than a capital of 400,0001, The• Directors have the•pleas-re of stating that upon this capital the evidence adduced last session proved a probable return of con siderably more • than • ten per sent. The surveys of last year are now being carefully revised, to enable Mr. Rastrick, 'the present engineer of the Company, to select, where opportunity offers, the line which will best accommodate the public at theleast expense of construction. The Directors beg I. inform the Sha-eholders of this Company, and also those of the Direct East and West Junction Railway Com pany, that they have been engaged, for some time past, in making arrangements, which they feel assured will prove much to their be nefit, and net only secure a return fur the great expenses necessarily incurred in the last session, but will also be of material advantage to the success of 4heir application to Parliament. The Directors do net propose to make any further call upon the Shareholders for that purpose, but as it is necessary, in compliance with the standing orders, that fresh Parliamentary Deeds should be signed, each Shareholder is requested to attend, with his scrip, at the office of the Company, for that purpose, when the old scrip will he exchanged for new scrip certificates, in Which credit for the full deposits aireadypaid will be given; and power of attorney will be for warded, free of expense, to Country Shareholders; on application to the Secretary. . . . The new deeds will be ready for signature on and from the 22nd day of 'October instant. • In the meantime, all further information relative to the position and prospects of the Company, may be ob tained-from the secretary, by application to him, or other wise, at the Company's office. - By order of the Directors.

THE UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. 30 to 50 per Cent. Saved ! T• be had at the Patentees. 69, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to • call publiC attention to the following facts, flis advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of3o to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the Introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, Sze. ; these are entirely obviated by the "PATENT I.Travitasat the ItunNza." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than Is com monly supposed, it Is adapted for private 'dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum Immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, aro shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, SirJous TUNNlE,Prealdent, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. rhe air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heat ed, and passed-out by two series of flre-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have bedn used. In comparing the consunaption of these burners with that of the concentrio ring burners, and trying the power of the t wo lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better ght, with a s av i ng of rather more than one-third." CERTIFICATE. POLTTECIINIO CHEMICAL SCHOOL.—" In testing Clark, McNien, and Co.'s Universe iGas Burner with ono of the best shawdowless turners, it gave a more pars and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 o 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer, ROUT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICATE. "Ina series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a saying of at least. 25 per cent., and against three fish-tall burners, No. 4, 45 per cent..

This useful fish had before that period been a comparative stranger in Carmarthen Bay, but now shoals frequent our shores, and are easily captured by the fishermen. The size of the fish this year has been much larger than previously. Peel upon a question similar to the present; and it was thought desirable that another meeting of a similar character should now be called, in order that the work ing classes should take the lead in a movement so impor tent to th,riselves. The time for opening the ports had now evidently arrived, and the only question was," How soon can they be opened r—(llear hear.) The pressure which must arise might and w ou ld b e dangerous to the peace of the country, if the people thought the - country had net a sufficieecy of food. To peavent outbreaks, it was a duty to suggest the propr . 4 of memorialis t+ ing Lord John Russell, to induc e hi t 6 open the ports -- at once for all kinds of grain. -(Ape :Lise.) - He hoped this example would be followed elsewhere with such spirit as to induce L6rd John Russet] to consider the importance of the memorials • and the state of the country, and accede at once to the reqdest of the people. He believed the Government only warded an expression of opinion on the paft of the people, Who had but to speak in one universal echo, and the thing was con summated.— (Applause.) Dr. JOHN WATTS, in moving the first resolution, said that if Sir Robert Peel had a reason last - year to repeal the cern laws, Lord John Russell had a double reason now to open the ports. Manchester and its vicinity contain about 300,000 people, and if each consumed a 41b. loaf per week, the difference In price would amount to 3,1251. per week, which would put 104 tradesmen's shops in the receipt of 301. each per week, or would em- I ploy 2,125 men at 20s. per week. ~ If two-fifths of the men were thrown out of work, there would soon be 1,2e0 families, or 6,250 individuals, . extra-dependents upen parochial relief. Riot and murder had already com menced in Ireland ;, famine NisV.t 94thness, where they were not only without pateereS, but the herring fishery had failed ; and in London there were 7,000 to 8,000 journeymen tailors out of employment. This was the first trade that felt the effects of distress ; for people must have food, but could do awhile without new cloth ing. The duty last week was - Bs. a quarter on wheat ; and it was important not to have a penny of difficulty in the way of raising supplies of food. and preventing tumult. There were two good things to be got by open ing the ports e —commercial relations would be drawn much closer, and csnsequently friendly feelings between nations. Then the import duty was a sort of gam blir'eetable, and people were always ready to lock up food when - the people were starving, in order to reap a richer harvest of profit from it. There was now immense corn-jobbing. Open the ports, and this gambling would be at once knocked on the head, and food would be obtained for all. Suppose we imported only half a million of quarters, knocking off the 84. duty, the result would be a saving of only 200,0001, which, if turned over only once in two months for a year, would find employment for 23,077 men, at 20s. per week, paid in wages ; and if these men were heads of families, it would relieve our parishes from 75,000 indi viduals, who, without such return, must become charge able to them. Perhaps Ministers thought the people apathetic ; but the apparent apathy had arisen from the fact that the people hesitated before they would throw any impediment to Lord John Russell's carrying out his own policy, as they had great confidence in the man. He concluded by moving the first resolution, for opening the - ports. Mr. JOHN TEER seconded the resolution. In Ireland, instead of opening the ports, the Government opened the barracks, and poured soldiers in upon a starving people, who had no diSposition to riot.—(Hear.) Could soldiers calm the storm that hunger must necessarily produce ?—(flear.) He hoped there would be no vio lation of the public peace in Ireland. He thought that people had manifested a degree of patience and forbear ance which he feared would not have been manifested in this country. There was one thing in favour of this meeting as regarded its influence,-that it was one not of Chartists, Whigs, Radicals, or Tories. In Manchester, at this moment, the feeling in favour of opening the ports was general, and pervaded all classes, from the weaver to the richest manufacturer.—(Applause.) Mr. CHARLES PORNTNEE said he was glad to see so large an assemblage, and he hoped they would keep to the specific business and duty of the meeting—to memo rialise the Government to open the ports. • Already Dundee had sent up a memorial; and he hoped Man chester would be at all events second in calling the at tention of Government to this matter. They were now constitutionally assembled in the Town-hall of Man chester—a circumstance which wouli give weight to their memorial.—(Cheers.) Mr. GEORGE FREDERICK MANDLEY also supported the motion. lie said he had f,r some time abstained from politics, but observing that the price of the people's staple articles of food had been enormously advanced, he could not, as the head of a family, and one sympathising with •working men, refrain from coming to make some statement of facts, which, from his peculiar position and means of information, had come to his knowledge. It was 'to 'him a delightful circumstance that he could stand there, and (though there were high prices of edible stuffs) vindicate the providence of God, by denying that there was famine. Nevertheless, be could support this motion, because he doubted not that if the ports were opened there would be a check given to that large amount of speculation in corn which had run it up to the present high price, and was doing enormous mischief to the working classes, and all who were engaged in the regular trade of the country. Every one who had heard the speech of Mr. Watts must be satisfied that every shilling extra taken from the working man in the shape of food must operate to the dis advantage of those engaged in textile manufactures; it must aff e ct our home trade, and he was assured, on most undoubted authority, that it was doing so to an alarming extent.—(Hear, hear.) The whole of the fall ing off in trade he did not mean to say was owing to this circumstance, because there was the war in Mexico and the rising in Kafirland had some influence upon trade. His main object was to show that the high price of food was not the consequence of scarcity, and he had in his hand tables which would show that there was at the present time in this country a larger amount of wheat and wheat-flour than was ever known in this country.—(blear, hear.) The document he held in his hand, and which he should quote from, was not a mere o newspaper paragraph, but a return issued by Mr. Porter f the Board of Trade ; and it would show t hat at this time, when people were talking of the impending famine —when owing to the abundance of money speculators were advancing the price of food so rapidly that the price of the 41b. loaf had gone up from 63. to - Bid. in six Or. seven weeks only—there never was such an abun dance of food in this country. The table which he held in his hand to quote from first. was, a return giving a three years' comparative statement of the quantity of wheat and wheat-flour imported into this country, and entered for home consumption, and of the amount ex ported, during a period of seven months in each year ending on the sth of August, namely the years 1844, 1845, and 1846.

Now, then, the next item was the amount entered for home consumption within that same period of time in each year, and he would call their attention to the circumstance that there was entered for home consumption in seven months, end ing the sth August— Quarters of wheat. Cwts. of flour. 1844 1845 72,720 1846 1,798,329 And this last year, let it be remembered, was the year of famine!—(Applause.) The quatity of oats imported in 1844 was 85,198; in 1845, 234,857; and in 1846 (in the same period of seven months), 328,886. Add to this that in the present year there had been imported 92,689 quarters of Indian meal, whilst there had been none of that article imported during the two previous years.-- (Eiear.) It was an interesting fact, before they went further, to see what stock of grain and flour there was in the country at the commencement of the periods he had named. There was in bond, then, on the sth Des comber, 1845—wheat, 794,25 0 qrs.; oats, 108,600 qrs.•, wheaten flour, 405,455 cwts. Any gentleman who had been observant of what was going on around him, would have seen corroborations of this excL ss of food, for it was a subject of remark that there was a larger amount of wheat-flour traversing our streets at this time than was ever seen before. — ( Hear, hear. ) Th is was not a periol of famine in whe at, then. The Fa rmer's Maga zine corroborated this stat ement, for it said the crops of the quality present a nd y year eld of werethe well got in, large, an d th at the wheat were n ever finer.—(Ap plause.) The parties who were causing high prices, then, were the speculators. And let it not be supposed that he was inveighing against speculators, because he held that capitalists had a right to invest it as they thought to the best advantage, and it might be a ques tion whether, in times of real scarcity, the height en i ng of the price did not dog od by keeping the people from at once exhausting their stock of provisions, and by spreading the consumption over a longer period. Re was anxious the more to make these facts known, be cause the editors of newspapers,' who are mdt engaged personally in commer ce, and conse q uentl y dependnt upon interested parties sometimes for information, had been putting abroad grossly unfounded, or at least mis leading, statements. The Times had stated some time since that there were not more than 700,000 quarters of corn in bond, but said nothing about the fact that 2,700,000 quarters had been released from bo n d i n t wo months.—(Hear, hear.) But the poor were being robbed of the increased quantity that individuals might have the advantage of an increased price. He held in his hand the Neil, York Courier and Enquirer of September 16th, which corroborated his statement that there was no fear of famine, for it said that the Drops of grain there exceeded this year the crops of last year, and that the people of the states could not, by many tens of mil- " Humbly showeth—That from the present extraor dinary price of bread, and of food generally, your memo rialists apprehend great distress, the addition of a single penny to the price of the 41b. loaf requiring an increased outlay of 1,0001. per week for bread alone in thb town of Manchester. .The rise in the price of liread within a few weeks has been nearly three-fifths of the whole cost, or nearly 3,000/. per week for this town alone; which sum is, of course, abstracted from the receipts of the general tradesman, and is thus operative to the destruction of the home market for manufactures. Your memorialists fear that a continuance of such prices, with the prospect of further increase, will, in the present state of trade, by putting bread out of the reach of many of our country men, endanger the public peace ; your memorialists conceive it, therefore, a matter of paramount importance that every possible facility should be immediately given to increase the amount of provisions in the United King dom. Your memorialists, therefore, respectfully, but earnestly, entreat you to call an immediate Council, with a view to opening the ports of the United Kingdom, and admitting all kinds of provisions duty free.—And your memorialists, &c." It might be said that Government could not do this; but a Minister had stated that Indian corn had been ad mitted into Ireland duty free, by order of the Ministers, and surely they might do this again, and in England. Sir Robert Peel had given us total repeal, but not im mediate. Lord John Russell had now the opportunity of giving the rest, by making the repeal immediate. Mr. JAMES COOPER, in seconding the adoption of the memorial, remarked upon what he termed the singu larity of the fact, that whilst there was such an abun dance of food in England, according to the returns read to the meeting, the poor of Ireland should be impove rished and dying. lie denounced the speculators in corn-and cotton as 'guilty of dishonesty, and supported the view taken by Mr. Mandley, that there was no de ficiency in this country at the present time, and that it was only necessary to open the ports to put a stop to the practices by which so much evil was occasioned. Mr. MANDLEY, in explanation, read the weekly re turns of the amount of wheat entered for home consump tion from the week ending on the 9th of July up to the last return, and argued that the amounts had only de creased because of the high rate of duty, but that corn had still been bonded, and was ready to be released when the duty had diminished. He advocated the opening of the ports, because it would have the effect of causing au immediate fall in the price of grain, although he promised the meeting that in less than six weeks they would have corn much cheaper; but the opening of the ports was desirable, since it would cause what he termed the speculators in the wants of the people to burn their fingers. The Rev. Mr. WHITE, from Ireland, made a few re marks on the present cJndition of the population of that country, asserting that where 500 or 600 persons who had no means of subsistence applied at a Government works for employment, only fifty or sixty could be en gaged, and the remainder had to return to their homes without money or food. The memorial was unanimously adopted, and thanks having been voted to the chairman, with a request that he would for ward it to Lord John Russell for presenta tion, the proceedings terminated shortly after ten o'clock. THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. At ten o'clock yesterday morning the Barrister re sumed the revision of the householders' lists. The lists of the following parishes were revised :—Allhallows Lombard-street, .Allhallows, Staining, St. Dioni's Back church, St. Edmund the King and Martyr—in the Lang bourn and Lime-street Ward. The following is the result of the tray's revision:— OBJECTIONS. Allowed. Failed or withdrawn. Liberals Conservatives . Double l7 CLAIMS. Allowed. Disallowed. Liberals The foregoing does not include the result of the revi sion in the parish of St. Edmund the King and Martyr ; several cases stand over in that parish, and the return therefore was not made out. The Court adjourned to this morning at ten o'clock, when the Barrister proceeded with the revision of the following parishes :—St. Peter, Cornhill ; St. Michael, Cornhill ; the parishes in the ward of Portsoken ; and the parish of St. Olave, Hart-street, Tower Ward. LAMBETH. Yesterday the revision of the lists for this borough was gone into before J. Deedes,,Esq., the Barrister, at the Sessions House, Newington. In St. Giles, Camberwell, there were but a few claims or technical objections. In St. Mary, Lambeth, there were 35 claims and no objections. Mr. Sinclair, of Kennington-lane, claimed to have his name inserted on the register, it having been omitted for non-payment of the poor-rates. Mr. Sinclair, in support of the claim, said that on the 20th of July he had called three times at the house of Mr. Spencer, who he always considered was the collec tor, but he had had some dispute with the parochial au thorities, and he heard he was then suspended, but he had the collecting books. He could not see Mr. Spencer, and the servant could not sere him a receipt. although he had the money in his hand. The BARRISTER asked if he tendered the exact amount ? Mr. Sinclair replied that he did not ; he had 31. or 41. in his hand. A subsequent application had been made to him for it, but then he was 160 miles from town, and it was not paid now. The 13An1tr9TEn said it appeared a hard case, for there was a difficulty as to who was the collector at the time. The present collector stated that he could not have given a receipt on the 20th of July. The BARRISTER observed that it would have been better to have tendered the exact amount, and the rate must now be paid. He should allow the claim. The Learned Gentleman, however, upon referring to the Act, considered that the tender of the money was only good in cases of claims to be rated. The difficulty was that the rate was not now paid, and it had not been tendered to any other officer. gin Sinclair submitted that the tender having been made on the 20th of July, it was of no consequence when if was in fact paid. The BARRISTER said the section made no reference to a tender. It expressly stated that no person shall he entitled to be on the register "unless he shall have paid, on or before the 20th of July, all assessed and other taxes up to the 6th of April." The 30th section had the word " tender," but that was in reference to a claim to be rated. Where parties left the payment of the rates to the last moment a difficulty was liable to occur. at, for instance, if the collector should die on that day. Collectors were appointed for the convenience of the parish. Mr. Sinclair said—lf this were done, half Lambeth would be disfranchised, for no one would know what they had to pay. The Learned BARRISTER observed that the rate• book could be seen. The claim was disallowed. Of the whole claims 61 were allowed, and 4 disallowed. In St. Mary, Newington, there were 34 claims, which were allowed. There was no case of any interest, and this parish concluded the revision. EAST SURREY. The Revising Barrister sat again yesterday at the workhouse, Russell-street,Bermondsey, to revise the list of voters in the only remaining parish, that of St. George, Southwark. Forty-eight claims were sent in by the members of a building society, in respect of four houses. They were supported by Mr. Russell, the free-trade agent, and the whole of the claimants were placed upon the list. On Tuesday an application was made to the Revising Barrister by Mr. Drummond, the Conservative agent for the Croydon district, to grant him a case for the Common Pleas in reference to his decision, with regard to the cases of several clergymen whose tithes had been commuted to a rent charge, and whom he had held to be disqualified on account of there not sending in a fresh claim upon the altered qualification. The Revising Barrister refused to grant a case. The following is a return of the result of the revision, as given by" the free trade agents: — CLAIMS. Failed. I Sustained. 61 552 OBJECTIONS.

But a few months have-elapsed since the discovery of the small -.planet Astrma,. the companion of the . small planets Juno, Ceres, Pallas, and Vesta, already known. file last few days have brought us the intelligence of the discovery of another new planet, under circumstances so unexampled as to form the most brilliant achievement of theoretical anti practical astronomy. Some -of your readers may be interested in ,a familiar explanation of the steps which have led to this interesting discovery. The motions of all the planets are effected by the gra vitation of the planets to one another ; and the places of the planets in the heavens are computed beforehand, so that the positions- given by observation can be con stantly compared with those previously calculated. Now the observed motions 'of the planet Uranus, the most. distant hitherto known in 'our system, when thus com pared, were found not to agree with the motions which the planet would have, after allowing for the influence of the ltnown planets, and when it was found that the deviations were far greater than any which could be ascribed to mere errors of observation, that they were of a regular character, and of such a nature as would arise from the action of a still more distant p'a,net, the attention of astronomers was directed to ascertain whether the disturbances were such as to point out the position of the disturbing planet. As long ago as the year 1842, a communication took place between Sir John Herschel and the lamented German astronomer, Bessel, on this subject ; and there is reason to suppose that some researches on the subject will be found among Bessel's papers ; for, in a letter written, No v . 14, 1842, to Sir J. Herschel, Bessol says, " In reference to our conversation at Collingwood, I announce to you that Uranus is not forgotten." The question was, however, taken up by other astronomers. Le Verrier, in France, and Mr. Adams, of St. John's College, Cambridge, in England, each in ignorance of each other's labours, pro ceeded to investigate this most intricate question, and arrived independently at the same conclusion, that the probable place of the suspected planet was about 325 deg. of heliocentric longitude. This was sufficient to point out, within certain limits, the part of the heavens at which the planet, if visible, would be seen ; and, in consequence, Professor Challis, at Cambridge, for the last two months, was engaged in mapping the neigh bouring stars, with a view of detecting the planet. Sir John Herschel alluded to the probability that the planet wonld be detected in the speech which he made on resigning the chair at the late meeting of the British Association. Having observed that the last twelve months has given another new planet to our sys tem, he added, "It has done more. It has given us the probable prospect of the discovery of another. We see it as Columbus saw America from the shores of Spain. Its movements have been felt, trembling along the far reaching line of our analysis, with a certainty hardly in ferior to ocular demonstation." This eloquent and glowing anticipation of the future was soon to receive its accomplishment. On the 31st of August Le Verrier made public the following elements of the orbit of the supposed planet, deduced by most laborious calculation from the observed disturLances:— Semiaxis major Eccentricity 0,10761 • Longitude of Perihelion. 284 deg. 45 rein. • Mean long., Jan. 1,.1847 318 deg. 47 min. Periudic time 217,317 siderial years. 1 Mass - 3900 He also announcea that the planet, would probably present a disc of abut 3 sec. in magnitude. This an nouncement reached Dr. Galle, at Berlin, - on: the 23d of September, and on,the same evening Dr. Galle, on com paring the stars in Dr. Bremiker's chart with the heavens, found It star of the eighth magnitude which was not marked upon the map. The place of this star v‘ as accurately observed, and on comparing this place with its position on the following night, its motion, amounting to about 4 deg. in right ascension, and 30 min. in decli nation, was - detected ; and this star was proved to be the expected new planet. It ought to be noticed that the. new investigations of Lo Verricr, accompanied with a recommendation to as tronomers to search for the planet by examining whether any star presented a sensible disc, did not reach Cam bridge till September 29, and that PrOfesior Challis, on that very evening, singled out one star, as seeming to have a disc, and that star was the planet. Thus the theory, derived by most abstruse calculation, from long continued accurate observation, has been completely verified ; and a triumph has been gained which will go down to posterity among the most brilliant of astrono mical discoveries. The known boundaries of our planetary system have thus been nearly doubled; a planet is added to it requir ing more than 217 years to complete its revolution round the sun; and moving in regions so remote as to receive but 1-1300th part of the light and heat which our earth enjoys. It will remain to be discovered whether, as seems most probable, this planet is accompanied with a train of at tendant satellites; whether its motions are in accordance with the known laws of gravitation; or whether it, in turn, is to s2rve as the means of a still further extension of the solar system. There is one circumstance connected with this new planet which is too remarkable to be overlooked. It was long since n ,ticed by Bode, that the distance 'of the planets from the sun follows a peculiar law, which may be thus stated—that if the distance of Mercury from the sun is assumed to be 4, the distance of Venus, the next planet, is 3 added to 4, or 7; that of the earth, which is next, is twice 3 added to 4, or 10; and thus, for the re maining planets; the distances from each other are doubled every time, as may be seen from the following table:— from Name of Planet. Distance Difference. the Sun. Mercury 4 3 Venus . Earth . Mars Small Planet 2B 24 Jupiter Saturn Uranus . New Planet The distance of the new planet, then, approximately satisfies this very remarkable law ; and the little stranger is at once recognised as bearing a strong family likeness to the other members of our system. The new planet was observed at Durham observatory Oct. 3 and Oct. 6 ; and the following Greenwich lireenwieh mean time. R.A. mean time. H.D.D.

MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY.—This morning, at a little before nine o'clock, an alarming collision took place at the Windsor-bridge station of the Manchester and Bolton Railway, about two miles from this town. The Windsor-bridge station is only used on Wednesdays, to accommodate the butchers and cattle-dealers attending the great cattle Market at Salford. Besides the Bolton Company the East Lancashire Railway Company also make use of the Bolton line as far as Clifton. The traffic on that portion of the line is consequently very great. It appears that one of the Bolton trains left that town this morning at a quarter-past eight o'clock, arrived at Windsor-bridge at about a quarter before nine o'clock—a little behind its usual time. The train con sisted of an engine, two luggage waggons, and five passenger carriages. The butchers had just got out of the carriages when Mr. Woodruffe, the station-keeper, heard a train arriving, and noticed one of the East Lancashire Railway Compauy'e trains approaching along the curve at a rapid rate, He gave an alarm, and the engineer of the Baton train put on the steam, in order to get away. The steam being set on to a full pressure, the jerk occasioned by the engine being so suddenly put in motion, broke the cou pling rod by which the three last carriages bad been attached to the train, which were, in consequence, left standing loose, when the East Lancashire train came up and dashed against the last (a third class) carriage with a frightful crash. All those carriages were thrown oft the rail. The one struck was smashd almost to"pleces; and the other two were so much damaged that they will bo useless for the future. It appears, not a single pas senger received injury worth speaking of, and there was only one who was so shaken as to be unable to walk. He was assisted to the Windsor Castle public-house, where, by the aid of a few stimulants, he speedily rooovered. The engineer of the East Lancashire train complained that the slipperyness of the rails was the reason why he could not stop his train sooner.

THE GRELtT WESTERN'S LAST VOYAGE. _ . . The following account of the voyage of the Great Western will show the imminent peril she experienced. She sailed hence on the 12th ult.:— • " On Saturday, the 19th, the wind b egan to freshen, and iu the evening had increased to a gale. On Sunday the fore staysail was split and the vessel lay to under bare poles. At'Uur P.M. the wind had increased to a heavy storm, aid a great qua n ti ty o f water got into the engine room. The passengers in the morning assembled in the cabin, seriously alarmed at the dangers that en compassed them. At eleven a heavy sea broke over the starboard wheel house, and started the ice house and iron life boat from their fastenings. " The wind was veering northward, and they attempt ed to wear ship, but were obliged to desist, meantime the scpraresails blew away. The lee quarter boats were torn away from the davits by a heavy lee lurch, and the others seemed likely to follow. At noon the storm still raged in all its fury, and a heavy sea striking the lar b'oar.l paddle-box, smashed it to atoms, sprung the spring beam ..and shattered the parts of the ship attached thereto. A splinter struck the Captain on the head, and would have knocked him overboard, but he was caught in the nettings. " The water was gaining on the pumps ; all the hatches were battened clown except those used in pump ing into the engine-room, and the weather continued the same until midnight, when there was a lull of half an hoar. " The sails were blown from their furls and st!..eamed out to leeward in ribbons. But about one o'clock a sea struck the vessel and a tremendous crash followed torrents of water deluged the cabin through the skylight. The passengers in total darkness, sprang to their feet, and a scream of agony told the terrible apprehensions that prevailed. The crash was caused by the wave which swept the quarter-deck of all the wood-work upon it. " Night closed in, the wind increasing in fury. The whole ocean was covered with foam. In the eveuing the Rev. Mr. Balch administered the sacrament to about 60 persons. The scene was most solemn and impressive. " On Monday the storm still raged with, 'terrific fury till eight in the morning, when the clouds began to break, and the squalls were less severe. The ship's head was got to the N.W., and the yard s h au l e d around. At noon the storm ceasd, and at 2 P.M. the sea abated, the storm having lasted 36 hours. " At half past five on Monday morning the vessel was in the greatest danger from a tornado, which buried the gunwales of the ship in the sea. At this critical mo ment the engine was true to its duty, and brought the ship up to her course. The wind had veered 20 points in 36 hours. " On Tuesday morning all assembled in the cabin f - when religious services were performed by Rev. Drs. Smucker, Beecher, Balch and other clergymen on board. A meeting of the passengers was also held, Archibald Gracie, Big., being called to the chair, an d reso l ut i ons . were adopted suited to the circumstances of the case. " A letter of thanks to the Captain and other officers • Of the ship was also drawn up; and th e sun i o f 20 0 1 . was raised to present to the officers and crew, of which the Captain was asked to accept 801. A fund was also started for the support of the widows and children of those who perish at sea, to be called, The Great Wes- .• tern Fund.' " THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAMER.--All the made to get this fine vessel off - the sands at Dundrum Bay having failed, Captain Hosken, on Tuesday, had all her sails set, and drove her higher up on the beach, as she was then making two feet of water more per hour than the pumps could keep free. From the latest accounts, it appears that all chance of getting the Great Britain off is nearly at an end. It is supposed she must at least wait fur the high tides of the spring. A protecting breast work is to be constript. , l - map pile DAS been insurea in London for about 20,0001. An insurance has also, it seems, been effected in Glas gow. but to what extent we do not know.- It is, how - - ever, believed that the whole insurances fall far short of her cost—that is, about 120,0001.; and beyond this, we hear that the underwriters refuse• to pay, on the, ground that the vessel was lost through gross negligence. The position of the Great Britain, down to Friday last, was then nothing better, and the spring tides having passed away without the efforts made during their con tinuance having been attended with slice. ss, the dtstrue tion, to a very great extent, of this fine property, is almost inevitable. Her condition is described as bad, no loss than 14 feet of water in the hold.—Liverpool Courier. IRON VESSRLS.—ADVANTAGES Or WATER-TIGHT COMPARTMENTS.—A letter from Falraorah to the Liver pool underwriters, &abet 9th Oototr, contains the fol lowing passage:—" Thp Rattler 'steamer, from Cork to London, full of water in after parts, and chiefly so in the hold, the fore compar%zilit only keeping her afloat, has been run on the mud,' and cargo being taken out, all soaked.
