An Evening Newspaper and Review. is difficult to devribe plan of an rprise like the ;ALL- BALL GAZETTE the w ithout seeming to boast, or to d ory the efforts o f o th ers . But we are unwilling to lose the , adv antage of a few words of exp'anation, and we therefore our the cand our o f th e rea der for a just interpretation of i meaning The . PALL-MALL GAZ ETTE will contain all the news Proper to an E v e n i ng j ourna l. But, addressed as it will be educated men and women, the space of the paper will not be _ o nenpied by trifling chronicles, uor by hat excess of words V av hich adda nothing to the interest of newspaper records, hile it destroys their siznificance. Literary considerations alone would determine us to have onr News Reports written in "tin English ; but beyond these there is the fact that the lessons to be found in many an accident of human life or Bo ill polity are lost in the turgid language in wbiehthey are en rnonly narrated. -r: veufs made known by the Morning Papers may be dis tussed in the PALL-MALL GAZETTE of the same day, tit they will not be repord anew. y advices _l_rom the Money Market will te be included in the News of the The rest of the paper (by far the greater part) will be made uP of original articles, upon the many things which engage the thought ! , or employ the energies, or amuse the leisure of influences Public Affairs, Literature, the Arts, and all the which strengthen or dissipate Society, will be dis cussed by men whose independence and authority are equally un questionable, and who are accustomed to regard the public ext ression of opinion as a serious t hing. This is the chef aim of the PALL-MALL GAZETT to bring into daily Journalism that full measure of thought and culture which is now found only in Reviews. At the same time, we by no means intend to make the paper pedantic or solemn. Humour is too powerful, as well h too pleasant, to be left out of the design; which will lose pone of the a.ivantages of occasional trifling. if a thing can be said bett er i n verse th an i n p rose , it w ill b e sa id i n verse. Epigram, but not spite—burlesque, but not vulgarity—will be readily admitted into its columns ; and since a joke is Often as illustrati e as an argument, good jukes will be wel come too It will be understo,d that this tdrertisement is rather a pro,lamation of idea and of effort than of promise. But the proclamat on is not made betcre a large number of able writers have accepted the idea, and pledged themselves to the effort.

It was designed to take a the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender 11.21 , precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are th,se who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now•friendless orphans. Such are those whose Parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and Must lead them to a life of crime and misery. The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statis'ics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys tnder 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted. and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charg,ed by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too Ycutig to punish, thou4h not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help be permanent burdens to the State. fhe Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to e n d eavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea ' tares of a home, a sehoo', and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, th it suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They, are treated as scholars ; every Morning is devoted to s c h oo l wor k —reading, and writing, Mod cipherin , y, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in ajecis and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early Period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— Making brown paper bags for bankers, and w hi te raper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them; picking the coil for the mats, mending, the o othes, drc. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, an d so f orth. By degrees they are b-ing, made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping ; w hi le the elder ones (lean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly and the Committee would joy fully eee the iedat ° onee ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions The Committee feel constrained to weed for those who oannot thus plead for themselves ; an d , referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been alre a d y admitted, dt B they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her famil y pauper for life because one of them (the naughty boy of th e tam ly) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, brcause she has so large a family, that you will not h 1p her to put one of them into a Home,but that they must ail do into " the house ?" Is it doing the b :et we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "tun away," none of us shou d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly Word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe thrill ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming keeper ?" " Am I my brother's The mode of admission to the House is twofold, Ist.

The opening of the campaign found our two best men in real command and in the two principal posi tions—Lee in Virginia, Johnston in Georgia. The military condition of this country was never so pros perous as it was at midsummer, for these two men had so done their work that it was then morally certain that the last supreme effort of the enemy was going to fail, and had it failed it is impossible to doubt that this year would have been the last year of the war. The unexpected and inconsequent freak of the executive, and the removal of Johnston, per mitted in silence by the country, has produced fruits such as inconsequent folly and subserviency never before produced. Although great evils might have been, and were, apprehended at the time, the results have so much surpassed expectation that they as sumed the appearance of a judgment. But let the past go. The best remedy for present evil is sim ply to stop the courses which have caused them. Let the executive cease to interfere with the armies ; send Johnston to the wreck of that army which he surrendered to Hood in such magnificent con dition ; give him carte blanche to do what he thinks proper for its salvation, and for the defence of the country, and a guarantee that neither his commission nor his plans will be any more meddled with ; give to Beauregard complete discretion of action on the coast ; leave to Lee his whole army and full powers in Virginia, and prosperity will return, good fortune will again befal the army of the South, and the great dangers which now menace the Confederacy will vanish like the clouds of the l as t rain. But good sense, modesty, and justice will never actuate the executive while congress abdicates its functions and public opinion its rights. Nations will suffer just • punishment whenever they entrust power to puny hands, puff up the conceit and en courage the passions of their rulers, by :fulsome flattery or silent submission. We have done so. The follies of the Government are manifest to all ; but if anyone who pay their cost proposes opposition or even a remonstrance, the amiable majority cry " Hush !" " Oh, huih, we can't get rid of him ; and he will do thus and do all the more if he is opposed. Don't say anything. We must have concord — unanimity—and there must be no opposition to Government." Therefore, the only voice which is heard at all is the voice of flatterers—the voice of those who have neither head nor heart, neither knowledge nor principle. Hence the executive is encouraged to pursue its fancies ; and although every military misfortune of this country is palpably and confessedly due to the personal interference of Mr. Davis, the legislature continues at each session to be his subservient tool, and to furnish new incentives to perversity, new means of mischief. It will not be sufficient for the executive to have lucid intervals. Congress and the Southern public must change their attitude, adopt a more distinct and manly tone, deal with their own affairs with more resolution, keep the executive in the path of duty, and curb it with a peremptory hand when it interferes with things beyond its capacity. Great adversity has fallen upon us ; but the power of the Southern States is not broken. The resources are enormous, pRIZE MED A L --INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1862.

Wallack's theatrical career dates from a past era of the stage. He and "0 " Smith —whose initial nick name was bestowed on him for the excellence of his acting in the part of Obi, in " Three-Fingered Jack "—were born in 1792. Wallack had conse quently attained the ripe old age of 73 years ; but until a recent period he betrayed a few signs of natural decay ; and, in . spite o a compound fracture of his leg on the lameness stageof Princess's Theatre many years ago , he preserved of manner which on elasticity of gait and buoyancy had distinguished him in his representation of theft he caused t b h y e gay mercurial heroes of melodrama and earlier days. Indeed, those who remember efforts are wont to declare that they lacked any in dication of the manly gaiety and energetic dash of the style which he acquired by long practice . of his comedy his edy in first o a f the art.

In this part James Wallack, one of the handsomest men who ever trod the stage, had op portunities of assuming a certain devil-may-care deportment, with sentimental touches here and there, which became him remarkably well—and, though not a professed singer —perhaps from that very cause indeed—he delighted his audience so much by the delivery of the charming romance of " Gentle Zitella," with its guitar accompaniment, that the song became the rage with all young gen tlemen possessed of tolerable voices. From the time of~ his immense popularity in the part of the nobleman's son who had taken to the romantic existence of a mountain thief, Wallack rapidly rose to the highest fame as a melodramatic :actor ; and he even aspired, not without fair warrant of ability, to the higher interpretations of Mercutio in " Romeo and Juliet," and Petruchio in " The Taming of the Shrew."

New Goods Station at St. Pancras ~_....- To have a terminus under their own control in London 's the object of all the great railway companies, whether' they have been originally projected with one end of their Lines in the metropolis, or whetber they wero at first local Lines around which new schemes have, accidentally or in the nature of the thing, grouped themselves. The Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Railway sprang out of the com paratively insignificant East Kent line ; the Midland Com pany-has by degrees extended its iron roads until now that it has fairly opened the first department of its London ter minus. On Monday last it took possession of a very large area beyond St. Pancras old church, and close by the side of the Regent's Canal. Its passenger station for the me tropolis will be in the Euston-road, to the west of the King's-cross Station, and taking in, we believe, the site now occupied by a church about two years ago consecrated by the Bishop of London. The St. Pancras Station is merely for goods, produce, and coals; and as all the latest improvements have been adopted in its construction a few lines may well be devoted to a description of it. It stands on tolerably high ground, which rises from King's-cross, and though the approaches are by no means in a state fit for such heavy traffic as is now carried along the adjacent thoroughfares, yet is the station in full work. No doubt the adjoining property will soon:rise in character, and no doubt also the railway company will before long enclose their premises more satisfactorily than at present. These are little defects incidental to the first occupation of new premises anywhere. BuVrithin the gates the officials have already reduced everytiting to comparative order. A large traffic in coal brought from the Derbyshire and the Yorkshire fields is now being carried on, and if it is considered how much confusion is inevitable in a change from nearly temporary to permanent pre mises the wonder will be found to be not that there are still a few things to set in order, but that so much should already have been done. The goods shed is more than 300 feet long, and in width sufficient to allow 12 lines of rails, beside railways for loading. On either side is a com modious platform some 30 feet wide, and overhead is an im mense wool warehouse. The walls of the shed are of bright red brick, but in the interior wrought iron has been chiefly employed in the construction. Pillars and girders, beams and braces, are all iron, the use of which has enabled the architect to give a light and not ungraceful appearance to the structure. According to Mr. Ruskin's dictum that art is out of place in a railway station—a dictum doubtful in it self, but admissible, perhaps, with reference to a goods sta tion—there has been no attempt at ornamentation ; and whatever may be the architectural merit of the Midland goods terminus, that merit is due entirely to the material and in no way to design as such. The object kept in view has been that of utility and fitness for the purpose, and it is not always that we are able to commend an architect for this, which should be one of his primary canons, if not ab solutely the first of his rules. The cranes, which are also of wrought iron, possessing strength without cumbersome ness, are worked by hydraulic machinery, and even the waggons are drawn in and out of the shed, or moved on a traverser from one set of rails to another, by capstans sim ply worked by pressing the foot on a knob of iron, which sends the capstan whizzing round, the withdrawal of the pressure instantly stopping the machinery. By the side of the shed is the entrance to the cellars constructed to store the Burton beer, and here hydraulic machinery will be em ployed to lower and raise the barrel-laden waggons on a heavy incline. The North London Railway crosses the line just outside of the station, and the Midland traffic at present joins the Great Northern Railway at the south end of the Copenhagen Tunnel ; but as soon as the Midland line, now in course of construction, is completed, the Great Northern Railway will be relievo from the heavy extra pressure un der which it has at present to work from Copenhagen fields to Hitchin. On the south side of the Regent's Canal the company is constructing an immense warehouse, five storeys in height, the walls of which are of red brick, and the interior pillars and girders of massive cast and wrought iron. Hero, on the lower floors, will be additional storage for beer, and on the upper room for an enormous quantity of grain brought to the London market. Hydraulic machinery will be em ployed here as well as in the goods shed. Considering the difficulties under which they at present necessarily labour it is very creditable to the officials of the company that so much has been done. In the course of a week or two they will be able to meet any demands upon them. Meanwhile it will be only fair that the commercial community should make some allowance for the enormous difficulties which beset the transfer of a gigantic business from one set of premises to another. The Extraordinary Case of Child Stealing at Portsmouth. PORTSIktOUTH, Saturday At the Borough Quarter Sessions, this day, before J. D. Coleridge, Q.C., Recorder, Mary Ann Plucks, 27, was in dicted for feloniously taking away by fraud a female child named Emily Eleanor Turton, of the age of 27 days, with intent to deprive Hannah Turton, its mother, of the pos session of the said child, on the 7th of November ; and Sarah Fry, 52, her mother, was charged ,with aiding and abetting in the commission of the offence. Mr. Poulden prosecuted, and the prisoners were unde fended. The circumstances of the case were of a most extraordi nary character, and the greatest interest was manifested, the court being densely crowded. The evidence was very voluminous, but the facts may be briefly stated. The prosecutrix, a single woman, was con fined "of a female child at the Portsea Island Workhouse on the 11th of October. On the 4th of November the prisoner Flucks called at the union and was introduced to the prose cutrix, whom she told that her mistress required a wet nurse, and would give 151. a-year and what was required for the baby. Prosecutrix accepted those terms, and it was ar ranged that Flucks should call for her at the union on the following Monday afternoon. She, however, called on the Saturday, and stated that she had come to alter the arrange ment, as her mistress had received a telegram—she there fore wished to know if she would go to London and leave her child at Southsea. Prosecutrix assented to this arrangement, and it was fixed that she should leave for London on Monday morning, the prisoner telling her shewas to pack up her clothes to take to Salisbury. Plucks accordingly called at the union on Monday morning, and prosecutrix and her baby went with her in a cab to the railway station. Prisoner paid the fare, and told prosecutrix she would go to " Lady Creamer's," at Peckham House, about five o'clock, ready for tea. She added that the servants, wearing gold lace, would be waiting at the Waterloo station with the carriage for her. On her arrival she failed to discover either ser vants with gold lace or the carriage, and, taking a cab, she proceeded to Peckham House, which she found to be a lunatic asylum. She went to a magistrate, and the workhouse authorities at Portsmouth being communicated with, prose cutrix was sent back to the union. Nothing was heard of the prisoner or the baby until the 24th of November, when the prosecutrix went with Sergeant Poole, of the Ports mouth police, to Cambridge House, East Cowes, and found the prisoner Plucks in bed with the baby. Fry told Poole that she was present at her daughter's confinement, but afterwards said, "I will tell you the truth; my daughter went away on Thursday, and brought the child back on Monday." Mr. Julian Slight, the surgeon of the Portsmouth borough gaol, distinctly proved that the prisoner Flucks had never had a child at all. When the prisoners were called upon for their •defence, Plucks asserted that it was her child, and said it was hard to give it up into the hands of a single woman, more espe cially when they daily and hourly heard of women de stroying their infants. (A laugh.) The Recorder having briefly summed up, The Jury found both prisoners Guilty. The Recorder, in passing sentence, told the prisoner Plucks that she had been found-guilty of a cruel act, as far as the woman Turton was concerned, and the sentence of the Court was, that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months. Addressing the other prisoner, the Recorder said she had undoubtedly had a very strong temptation to do what she had done, in endeavour ing to screen her daughter from the punishment which was certain to follow her, and the sentence upon her was that she be imprisoned for three calendar months. On being removed from the dock the prisoner Flucks burst out crying, and said, " I shall see my child again, I shall."

SMITH, leoretay. Ihe Home for Illegitimate Children. On Saturday afternoon an important investigation involv ing the management of an institution of which the Marquis Townshend and other benevolent persons are the patrons established for the nursing and care of illegitimate children, at No. 35, Great Coram-street, Russell-square, under the title of the " Infant Home," took place before Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central Middleiex, at the Guildford Arms, Guildford-street. The inquest was held on the body at Charles Webster, aged eight weeks, the offspring of a young woman, a servant, which had died suddenly in the institu tion. The mother of the deceased was present. The Coroner remarked that from circumstances which had come to his knowledge in connection with the extraordinary mortality which had occurred in the " Home," being from a report ho had received 50 per cent., or 35 out of 70, he thought it highly desirable, both for the sake of tho insti tution as well as the satisfaction of the public, that in this instance a rigid inquiry should take place. Mr. N. H. Stevens, of 14, Finsbury-crescent, honorary surgeon to the institution, stated its character and objects, which was to help those who by treachery had been betrayed into the misfortune of being mothers of illegitimate children, and who are anxious to recover themselves to re enter service, by receiving and nursing their children, so as to enable them to regain their character by removing the obstacle out of their path, and making a return to reputa- tion, self-respect, and usefulness possible. For this purpose the Home, which was a branch of the " Infants' Home," in Bryanston-place, Bryanston-square, had been established and illegitimate children were received, nursed, and cared for upon certain conditions and guarantees at a nominal charge of 2s. per week. The deceased was one of these little un fortunates, whose mother had been seduced under very heartless circumstances, and on its admission some few weeks back was in good health. It took cold, and bron chitis supervened, and during the early part of last week it died very suddenly. A post-mortem examination in dicated that it had died from the disease named, and it was stated that it was common in infants to do so from its effects. In reply to the "question as to the large mortality, Dr. Stevens explained that, being the offspring of vice, the great majority of, the children were admitted in a half nourished and most emaciated condition, and frequently died two or three days after their admission. After they had been in the institution for some little time improvement was, however, very great, and the health of the children on the whole was perfectly satisfactory. Such diseases as had attacked the children had arisen purely from a constitutional susceptibility ; but the health of the majority had been considerably and undoubtedly improved by their residence in the Home. After hearing other evidence as to the care and attention with which the unfortunate children were treated, The Coroner remarked that it was a gratifying fact to find that so far from any blame attaching to the institution, it was just the opposite. He viewed the establishment of such an institution as a step in the right direction. It was sadly to be feared that the crime of infanticide, now so shockingly prevalent, might be traced in a groat measure to the straits and dreadful desperation to which poor young persons wero frequently reduced, and that too often, in the first instance, the murder of their offspring was the consequence, and then in the failure of any other means of subsistence they were tempted to betake themselves to a life of sin and shame. Such an institution was, therefore, most praiseworthy, and as to the mortality, no doubt it arose from the circumstances so fully explained by the medical officer. The jury fully concurred in the views of the coroner, and a verdict of "Died from natural causes" was recorded. THE NEW SCOTTISH JUDGE.—Mr. David Mure, M.P., Lord Advocate under Lord Derby's Government, is likely, we have some reason to believe, to be appointed to the seat on the bench vacant by the resignation of Lord Mackenzie. The gown is understood to have been de clined by the Solicitor-General and by Mr. A. R. Clark. Mr. Mure's appointment will create a vacancy in the re presentation of Bute, for which he was returned, at the general election of 1859, by a majority of only nine over ,Mr. Lamont, of Knockdow, the Liberal candidate.—Scots- man. A BALLET GIRL FRIGHTFULLY BURNT.— Another of these lamentable accidents, which un happily have been of too frequent occurrence, took place on Friday night at the Britannia Theatre, whereby a young woman, a ballet dancer, has sustained very serious injuries. The unfortunate girl, whose name is Ellen Geary, was en gaged as one of the corps de ballet. Her services were first called into requisition in the transformation scene of the pantomime, which comes on about nine o'clock. In order to give effect to this change it is necessary that the corps occupy different positions on the stage—some on an emi ' nence at the side of the wings, and others on the stage. Geary's position was one of those at the wings, to reach which she was in the habit of ascending a wooden ladder, placed somewhat closely to the wing lights, in conse quence of which the manager, who it is evident took some precaution against a contingency such as that just hap pened, placed a man at the foot of the ladder to guard the dresses of and to assist the ballet girls in their ascent. The girl, it appears, was behind time in going from the dressing room, in consequence of which the man, who had previously been at his post, ventured to go away for a few minutes, in which interval Geary arrived, and without waiting for the return of the man, at once ascended the ladder, and while doings o, the d back part of her skirt caught. She inst antl y discohvere the fact, and, with great presence of mind, flung_ kept in upon her face. A wet blanket, which. " always sp r t readiness at the prompter's door, was thrown ovsdinT:, er k he , well as a bed, which is used in one of the s.tchsene .isthaet once extinguished the flames, but, notr. girl was frightfully burnt up to t he shoulders. Dr. was immediate attendance, and recommended h er r e moyal to St. BartII9IQMOWII hospital. Railways and the Electric Telegraph. {From the Railway News.) The accident which a short time since occurred in the Blackheath Tunnel of the North Kent line has very natu- rally directed an increased amount of attention to the em ployment of electricity for the purpose of train signalling. Notwithstanding this very painful occurrence, there is nothing in the circumstances which caused it that should shake public confidence in the efficiency of the electric tele graph for the working of railways. There is no agent that can be made use of which is more speedy in its action and more certain in its results than electricity, and these are two essential qualities required in the transmission of sig nals. If we could always ensure fine and clear weather — if the railways always ran in straight lines—if there were neither embankments, nor cuttings, nor curves, nor tun nels, the old semaphore telegraph, which in days gone by waved its arms wildly to and fro, from one beacon hill to another, would be quite sufficient for railway signalling. In like manner, if mechanical arrangements could be made by which the signals of one station could be worked from the next one, or the distance between auxiliary and sta tion signals could be increased:without risk of failure, then managers of railways might trust to contrivances of this nature for the safe working of railways. Unfortunately, neither of these systems can be implicitly relied on, and something more is needed for the safe running of the numerous trains of different speeds and loads which aro continually travelling to and fro upon our railroads. Elec tricity has now been tested for a long period upon our leading railways, and the unfortunate accident to which we have referred cannot be laid at the door of this faithful ser- vant. The telegraph wire carried its message from station to station with its usual unerring accuracy, and the fault lay with the human agent who sent, and not the subtle fluid that bore, the fatal message "all clear." If any per son will glance through the reports of the railway inspec tors of the Board of Trade upon the accidents which have taken place during the last year, they will see how, in the majority -of cases, accidents are traceable in the opinion of the reporting officers to the want of telegra phic c ommunication. The reports of Col. Yolland, Capt. Tyler, and Capt. Rich, all tell the same story. The acci dents which occur are due in a far less proportion to me chanical defects in the rolling stock or permanent way than to imperfect signalling. Of the 15 accidents which were rec ently reported upon in the three months en ding June— these being summer months —not less than eight were dis tinctly traceable to defective signalling, and in almost every case the use of the electric telegraph was recom mended by the Government inspector. Cel. Yolland, on his report on the Egham accident, said—" The introduction of the electric telegraph produces ready means of keeping an interval of space between following trains. No train should be permitted to leave a station until the station in advance has telegraphed back that the line up to that sta tion was clear for a train to travel up to it. The electric telegraph supplies an addition to the ordinary means of out-of-door signals for securing public safety. And the difference between the two systems of working by keeping a space between following trains, or by allowing them to travel at an interval of time from each other, is that, when both are rigidly and faithfully carried out, a collision be tween following trains is impossible when an interval of space is maintained between them, but a collision may and often does happen when the traffic is worked by an interval of time only." Col. Yolland goes on to add these observa tions, which we have reason to believe have not been with out effect theiret upon companies somele adlngmembers of the Government— “ frailway cannot be induced voluntarily to alter system a nd to introduce those improvements w hi c h science has placed within their reach, then the Le gislature should interfere and compel them to do so." Hence, among other sources, has arisen the report referred to last week, of the intention to appoint a select committee to inquire into the whole subject of the working and ma nagement of the railways of the United Kingdom. The accident at Blackheath has occurred as if to show that no amount of precaution which can be taken will prevent the occurrence of casualties upon railways. The North Kent, as indeed the whole of the South-Eastern system, is worked upon the plan thus strongly recommended by Colonel Yolland, and the adoption of which he would make compulsory by Government upon all railway com panies. It is certain that electricity must in future be much more extensively engaged than hitherto upon the railways, and, if does not provide a perfect guarantee against accidents on railways, it is at all events the most efficient agent which can be employed in their prevention. This child, so mysterious in its origin, in its nature, and in its action, and as yet but an infant in years, now offers its pro tection to those to whom it lies under so many and such deep obligations. Electricity asks only of men of science that they will provide the means by which it can make itself more extensively useful in connection with the rail road system. Much has been done in this respect ; much yet remains to be accomplished; and we shall hear with satisfaction of any improvements made in the application of electric telegraphy to the conduct of the immense and growing ram traffic ei the country. Christmas Lectures at the Royal Institution. On Saturday Dr. Frankland concluded his short course of lectures "On the Chemistry of Coal." Hav ing in the preceding lectures considered the origin and elementary constituents of coal, how coal was put together by nature, and how it is taken asunder for the production of heat and light, the concluding lecture was devoted to the explanation of the manner in which the products of combustion are converted into valuable materials for brilliant illumination and for dyeing. In the first place, however, Dr. Frank. land exhibited the action of Lerroir's gas engine, the principle of which he explained in a previous lecture. The gas that supplies the institution was conveyed to the engine by an elastic tube, and after the fly wheel had been started, the engine, which was equal to 1 horse-power, continued working with greater or less speed, according to the quantity of gas supplied. The engine is entirely self-acting, for the mechanism openr the valves to admit the gas and air into the cylinder, and makes connection with the electrical apparatus that explodes the mixture. Having shown this novel practical application of the explo sive force of coal gas, Dr. Frankland proceeded to explain the manner in which paraffin oil and paraffin candles are extracted from coal tar, and the beautiful colours called magenta and mauve are pro duced from that disagreeable-looking and offensively odorous substance.. The accumulation of the tar in gasworks was formerly a great nuisance, as there was no known available mode of making use of it, but it is now considered so valuable that coal is often distilled at a low heat for the purpose of producing it, the gas being thrown away. From coal tar che mists have separated no fewer than 50 compounds, of which 3 have been rendered principally useful for dyeing, viz., benzole, phenylic alcohol, and analine. For the production of colours benzole must be con verted into analine, which change is effected by heating it first with nitric acid, and then with acetic acid and scraps of iron. The colour mauve is produced by heating analine with bichromate of potass and sulphu ric acid ; and magenta is obtained by heating analine with arsenic acid ; blue and violet are produced by heating magenta with analine.! Dr. Frankland pro duced a trayful of glasses, in which were placed small invisible particles of differently prepared sub stances from coal tar, and on pouring into the dif ferent glasses phenylic alcohol they were filled with fluids of various colours, all poured from the same bottle. The following was given as a brief statistical statement of the quantity of dye obtainable from coal—Thirty hundredweights of coal yield 3601 b. of tar, which furnish 181 b. of naphtha, containing 61b. of benzole, and the latter yields 51b. of analine, which produce 11b. of magenta. One pound of ma genta will dye 6501 b. of silk, or 9001 b. of wool, the latter quantity being the average produce of 160 sheep. Dr. Frankland showed the process of dyeing cotton, silk, and wool different colours, and he ex hibited several other experiments to illustrate the remarkable properties of the substances extracted from what had, until recently, been considered waste products in the manufacture of gas. At the conclusion of the lecture he was loudly applauded. The attendance during every lecture of the course was more numerous than usual, and, though the lectures were professedly addressed to a juvenile audience, the majority of those present were well advanced in life. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAlR.—Captain Thomas S. Bunker, of the 88th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, last September, through the'Rev. J. W. Bushing, who, by the way, received pay for the part he took in the transaction, managed to have his son, who had died in the service, cre dited on the quota of Parke county, as a substitute for a drafted man, named Calvin Moore. It appears that the son, Charles Bunker, had entered the service as a substi tute early_in the - war, and by good conduct had been nprioie moted to the rank of second lieutenant, which ruslitio held until his death, which took place -enlisted his dead father then, only two months later, throughe of the regiment to which he belonged, r and local bounty, las t the chaplain son as a substitute, receiving part of which he The wi ll of Count WILLS AND BEQuEsTs.---e in de has just been proved London, the Vigney, of France, d of property in En aceho.rdilanngy the has te le n ft or m o s f la t u h d i • died possessed gland, the s he testator having gave his accomplice.—Cincinnati Cincinnati Gazette. d Madame Louise Laehand, wife of M.

The inquiry was resumed and concluded on Sa turday, before Mr. T. S. Raffles, legal assessor, and Captains Baker and Harris, nautical assessors. Mr Henry Bremner, solicitor, addressed the court on behalf of the pilot, Mr. Wm. Parry. He said that although the court did not possess any direct jurisdiction over the pilot, yet the decision of the pilotage committee would be materially affected by the report the court might think it right to make. On behalf of the pilot he adopted the full responsi bility of being in charge of the vessel from the time she passed the Calf of Man ; and he would not in any way attempt to throw blame upon the captain. Still he would not pretend to say that the fact of the pilot being in charge would exonerate the cap tain, if he saw the pilot doing anything wrong and neglected to interfere. After reviewing the evidence given before the court, he submitted that no neglect of duty, bad seamanship, or care lessness on the part of the pilot had been shown, and that the accident had resulted from an error of judgment, aggravated by the circumstance that the ship was at the time going slowly, and therefore did not answer her helm so rapidly as if her speed had been greater. He showed that during a long life Mr. Parry's conduct had been uniformly commend able, and urged that such a man should not be harshly dealt with for an error of judgment. In conclusion, he laid before the court a large number of testimonials from captains of steam and sailing ships, including one from Admiral Dacres, the ad miral of the Channel Fleet (which fleet Mr. Parry piloted out of the River Mersey), testifying to the care and skill which his client had exhibited as a pilot during many years, often under difficult cir cumstances. Mr. Squarey declined to address the court in reply. After an adjournment for three hours the court re-assembled, and the assessors delivered the fol lowing judgment :—" In this case, the Jura having been in charge of a duly licensed pilot, and the master having been at his post, and having had all hands on deck and every man at his station, he must be relieved from all responsibility for the loss of his ship. The court has, theref ore, great satis faction in restoring his certificate. The court has no c jurisdiction over the pilot ; but it may con th si at the tory to him to know that, after mature l : e tion, the court has arrived at the conclivrhioolne, sat: de a ra- - rather loss of the ship resulted, upon t h h a e n from negli ediately from an error of judgment t gence.

Mr. Raffles said the Dock Board would no doubt take this into consideration if a report was made to them. It was afterwards stated that it was no unfrequent thing for ships to get on the sand at the point where the Jura was wrecked, and Captain Baker said there ought to a floating light there. 111
