NICOLL, whilst inviting general attention to this their most novel effort in the cause of fashion combined with personal comfort, beg that it will not be forgotten that all that could be said favourably describing its predecessor for its neatness and unpretending gentle wanly appearance, its avoidance of all foreign or extraneous effect, its moderate price, durability, and a,lreeable lightness ; all these are retained in the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT, which possesses the happy combination of two different effects, in other words, it shows to advantage a good figure, or improves an imperfect one.

I mandes. EXTENSION OF THE BROAD GAUGE TO BIRMINGHAM. The Railway Commissioners have presented to Parliament their report on Lord Redesdale's motion for an inquiry into the merits of the different lines running to the north. We have not seen the report, but we understand it admits the superior speed of the broad gauge engines, and recommends that the broad gauge should be carried up to Birmingham, on the as sumption that a break of gauge at Oxford or Fenny Compton would he very unfair to the public, and that, in fact, as the broad gauge will shortly be completed between London and Wolverhampton, the Commis sioners feel bound on public grounds to recommend its continuation from Oxford to Birmingham. We are informed—but we must be permitted to doubt the accuracy of the information—that the Commissioners do not admit that the broad gauge has any mercantile superiority over the narrow gauge in the conveyance of heavy trains upon certain gradients, or that it is more economical. We have always understood it to be an ac knowledged fact, that one of the essential advantages of the broad gauge is its daily practice of running heavy first and second-class express trains at speeds which the narrow-gauge locomotive has never yet approached; and we have always looked forward to the extension of the broad gauge to Birmingham as a public advantage, inasmuch as second-class passen gers, as well as first, will then enjoy the benefit of transit by express trains to and from Birmingham, a benefit which the London and North-Western cannot, from the inferior power and speed of their narrow gauge locomotives, confer upon railway passengers. We believe, from our own personal observations, that the recently-constructed broad-gauge engines will take a two-hundred ton train as fast as, it not faster, than any narrow-gauge engine can take a hundred ton train up or down the average gradients of the rail ways of this country, and that they will do so at a much less comparative consumption of coke, and wear and tear of machinery. We also hear that the document in question eu logises the report of the Gauge Commissioners. We are almost inclined to be sceptical on this point, when we reflect upon the strange conclusions at which the Gauge Commissioners arrived, and the variance ex isting between those conclusions and numerous facts then evident, and which facts further experience has rendered notorious.—Morning Herald.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES..—TUESDAY. We observed in our sketch of the engagements the entries did not quite come up to " concert pitch;" the remark is particularly applicable to the Craven Stakes, in which no public horse made his appearance whose running can by any ingenuity be supposed ta have the slightest reference to the Derby nags. The racing having so little to attract, we must attribute the attend ance yesterday—and it was moderate enough—to the conjoint influence of fine weather, railway facilities, and the anxiety evinced amongst the thousandsinterested in the Derby— e ith er b y di rect speculation, or throug h t h e instrumentality o f sweeps —to ascertain, IV personal obsei vation, h ow t h e c h ances of their several f anc i es stood affected i n t h e " r i ng. " We need not, t h ere f ore , call upon i mag i nat i ons to " make much ado a b ou t nothing;" it is enoug h to state that some of t h e ra ces were run over a portion of the new Derby Course —the only novelty—and th at t h e sport, if it lacked impor t anc e, came quite up to th e stan d ard in quantity; it wa s not brought to a c l ose unt i l h a lf -past six o'clock. Passing from the eve n t s o f t h e d ay, we may devote a few li nes to the fluctuatio ns i n t h e Derby betting. Some l arg e sums were laid at evens on Surplice, who, at the c l ose o f business, appear e d t o h ave slightly the call of t h e fi e ld. Glendower and Nil D esperandum were backed at 6 to 1 each, and 10 to 1 was ta k en once or twice about S pr i ng y Jack; the layers, however, were numerous and eager, and at the close his backers were non est. Shylock, in the early part of th e a f ternoon, was quoted at 10 to 1, and looked " suspi c i ous; " var i ous rumours were a fl o at — he had been coughing —was sold--would not run , &c., a panic was the conse quence, and he went by rap id s trides to 30 and 40 to 1, tak en , h owever, by goo d j u dges. It then transpired that the D u k e o f Rutlan d h a d .consented ated to give Robinson up to rid e f or r Clifdepa - 0 0 1 4,004, which, Mr. Green, who had re t a i ne d hi m in the eve" °I his not being required by the Duke, put in his claim; .e a long negotiation ensue d, an d t h e resu lt was, that the Duke of Rutland' s p erm i ss i on was r ec alled;. thus Robin son, after all, will be on The Fiddler, at least such is the present arrangement. P e ndi n g this discussion, Shylock came again with a r us h, an d th MC who laid 30 and 40 to 1, had the mortifi ca ti on to see hi m b a cked at 10 and 12 to 1. This mo vement, f o ll ow i ng , upon the scratching of the old firm of " Swiss Boy and Company," made no small stir in the ring. The general prices, up to six o'clock, the names of the probable starters, riders, &c., are given underneath. Whether there wilj be any more "declarations" remains to be seen; but that such will be the case is far from improbable.

Heathcote's filly to the road, where he took up the running. The Cur played the waiting game to the half distance, where he shot past the leading horses, and ran home an easy winner by a length —only a neck between the second and third. Ran in 2 min. 14 sec.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order hat it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when ised fu moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when tbused.the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conseouence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, ire productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains as accurate and complete account of the knatouly and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly - .mires the closest attention and study, for what subject can of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should le possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy fictim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired a early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering rotn their Invariable consequences, unwisely en tertains a feu of ap lying to a qualified physician for relief.

I was entrusted dale with proposing a clause to come in • giving a power in cases where by the pi a burial-ground has been closed as d, health, to provide a new burial-ground L bourhood. It was partially debated on Mc night, though by the forms of the House the clause must be brought forward after all the others are dis posed of. I have made some alterations to suit what appeared to be the feeling of the House and of the Government; and it is so evident that if the dead are not buried in one place they must in another, that I hope the anxieties of our friends at Rochdale arc in a way of being set to rest. On the same evening I put on the Proceedings a proposal to add to clause .57 (which requires all per sons who let lodgings for a less period than a week to register their houses as what some MeMbers con temptuously called " tramp lodging-houses,") an ex ception scud a l dwelling-hous same he made ee d that nu meat, l de r , u dnr goi r t t tini o i : 11 ),,efeg entirely ci , a nr g i bd i , ei tt v : h f to . s i el o nei n r r ee g ip t tin h ihrse l e ,a i ,eatv e n n e si t ng ei i( s i d, i t e n. td t%s. c h: l e c u r is i u g a a flou e: ueriptrilin}ed,ririrs vi ctual l ers to ob viateor hrid in the danger of collusion from those who desire to keep dirty lodging•houses ; and in the last. resort there would be the power of refusing a license to the victualler who should be found engaging in a plot for contravening the objects of the law. It will certainly be hard if a lawyer or commercial traveller arrives at night at the SU R or the Bowling-green, and Betty declares sh e h as not anot h er b ed " i'th 'ouse," that he cannot he sent to Mr. Jones's or Mr. Wilson's over the way, without Mr. Jones or Mr. Wilson registering his house as a " tramp lodg ing -house," which to a certainty he will not do; and the same for all sorts and conditions of men. As the use of Houses of Commons and Committees is to know what people think of things, I wish.you would take the .opinion of the landlords or landladies of the respectable hostelries above named, upon the subject stated... .. Another question of general. interest attaches _to Clause 95. After enacting in a previous clause, that of exponties incurred under this Act three-fourths shall be deducted from the rent, and one-fourth paid by the tenant, clause 9.5 directs that nothing in this Act 'Contained shall alter or affect any contract between landlord and tenant, entered into before the passing of the Act. I asked last night, whether before was not a misprint for after ; for if there is to be any effectual execution of the proposed apportionment between landlord and tenant, and if the thing is not put into the Act for the purpose of being taken out again, it is only to contracts made before the passing of the Act that there is any use in applying it; Inas much as in contracts made afterwards, the parties can take care of themselves. The answer made by the Attorney-General I could not collect, in the hurry and buzz of the House. But I hare since taken counsel with a barrister with whom I have some acquaintance, and he informs me that the usual form in contracts between land lord and tenant is, that the tenant binds himself that he " shall and will well and truly pay, satisfy, and discharge, as they severally become due, the demised ei s ih e aa w a irg e e r en s dt ' a, rate rnrojr.e,s ps imposedaua n ruoeh a oi l a l rl andutaepnnodenamloloetrhmtesairnnwaniesdre respect, o premises,Lazes,f whic h of tnh a ooe. s wr s e s saa r eta assess ments, ethnheters hereafter aa r fi a td t e e r s t ,es shall term ll acharges,hereby any nb and t di time impositions iduringsedemised be whatever, tahsesecs so endt continuance n ur aa p tn a ; ode - , .Land -tax Act it is provided that th n ' le, ' part thereof." And he further n tells nn n d o mg in it _shall be construed to alter or make void tween landlord and tenant touching a t y e contract be. payment is,of taxes and assessments; the consequence g that the land -tax 'is taken from the t of which that . in.he tenant, which seems to be exactly what is intended now. And in a corresponding question of Sewers, a similar d '- sion has been given (see Walker v. Andrews, 3 M. & Wel.). But in the Property -tax Act of 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 35, s. 73, it is provided that no contract between landlord and tenant touching the payment of taxes to be charged on their respective premises shall be deemed to extend to the duties charged under that Act; and by a subsequent clause any such contract is declared utterly void. Here then the question is out. Is the Act to make profu sion of dividing the expense of sewerage between landlord and tenant, and then by a subsequent clause leave tenants bound by contracts visibly entered into without any contemplation of the coming of this Act ; or 13 it to do as was done in the case of the Property-tax, and enforce the apportionment upon the landlord ? I cannot , make ,anybody understand it; so gti, round to aIL thetenants in Bradford, and ask them if they see into it any better. In the mean time I have given notice of motion on the Report, to substitute for clause 9.5 the clauses in the Property-tax ' Act`. of 5 and G Victoria. If any body in Bradford thts this of an y consequence , they d should sen me ipstr tioto or suFpurt ; for there is no use in constituencies Zbinplaining afterwards, if they do not exert themsehes while a question is in progress. Oa Tuesday it was decided by 103 against 90, on the motion of Lord George Bentinck, that the Heim should adjourn over Wednesday for the Derby. S o the petition of your 7,350 on the Suffrage must lip. over, unless Mr. Ilutne gets his motion brought for ward to-night. But of this, the event has shown there is no chance. On another motion from Lord George Bentinck, the Protectionists maintained a debate till eleven at night, on the subject of some re turns which nobody intended to oppose. The Mem ber for Montrose then postponed his motion till the 20th of June ; for which he was vigorously taken to task by the Member for ;Nottingham ' who was taken to task with equal vigour by the Member for the 'est Riding. The conference of the whole appeals .to be, that the country mnat go on taking its own counsels on the measure of Reform which may be re quired ; for waiting till the 20th of June is . Iflte asking the tide at London-bridge to wait for the Loyd MTr's barge, though the ,'rime Minister does 'hot .. , thin so. j. "I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, T. PERRONET TrIONEPSON. Blackheath, London, May 44, 1848. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have Graham's Town journals to the 18th, and news from Cape Town to the 25th of March. The frontier continued tranquil, but many of the settlers, distrusting the pacific profes,ions of the Kafirs, were of opinion that none should be allowed to enter the colony without written permission. The Graham's Town Journal, advocating this precau tionary measure, says, " The prevalent opinion is, that the Kafirs will repeat their aggressions —that, u their youth grow up, the same disposition to attack the colony will as heretofore be indulged, and that this, if not effectually nipped in the bud, will be sure to lead in the end to overt acts of violence and rob bery. It is, we conceive, of importance to bring these matters thus publicly forward, lest, in the intoxication of our joy at the admirable skill of the pilot at the helm, we should, amidst a thousand perils, be lulled. into a false sense of security and neglect to use that exertion, and to take those precautions which are es sential to ultimate safety." A person named Ingram had been murdered with in a few miles of Graham's Town, by some marauding Kafirs. In the district of Victoria the plan for establishing military villages was in active operation, some of the choicest tracts of land having been selected for the purpose. It AI -( '4441, There were rumours that, while the natives generally, from the borders of the colony to beyond Natal, appeared satisfied with the new arrangements which had been made for their settlement, many of the emigrant Boers were manifesting a hostile spirit, and expressing a determination not td acknowledge the supremacy of the British Government. The proposal to erect a statue of Sir Harry Smith at Cape Town had been received with the greatest favour throughout the colony• ot oC e les CHARING- en ss _os r T r ejt; iday a meeti ng of the governors and committee management was held inthe o T f he th re e po in rt st f ltti r ti hne ; past ha dear Prater, Esq. in stated 1°,09 2 indigent sick poor were admitt e d on the hooks for relief , at a cost of 2 ,2924 45. 1 ld., o f w hi c h the board-roomchsir. number 1,155 were in-patients, and 10,937 were out patients ; 1,583 patients were received by recommenda tory letters, and 10,509 freely admitted without any reco mmendation whatever ; making a t o t a l, s i nce t h e foundation of the institution in 1818, of 133,758.

POSTAGE ON FOREIGN LETTERS.—The following notice was yesterday issued by the authorities of tits Post-office:—" Henceforward the postage upon regits tered letters addressed to parts abroad, and posted at those offices which are not restricted to the receipt of stumped and unpaid letters, may be paid either in money or by means of postage stamps, at the option of the sender. The registration fee, however, must be paid in money, as at present.

No exception is to be made to the rule which forbids a registered letter to be sent unpaid." THE ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MR.

DUBLIN, SUNDAY. —This day all the Confederate Clubs marched through the city to: Belvue, in the Liberty, where, in a large enclosed yard, they held u meeting. Mr. DILLON, barrister, presided. He told them their object was to protest, in the strongest language, against the conduct of the law officers of the Crown, in packing the juries in the late trials, and to caution them against adopting a similar course in the case of Mr. Mitchel. The Learned Gentleman spoke in his usual violent strain in condemnation of the whole policy of England towards this country. Mr. O'GoninAN, jun., next addressed the meeting, and moved a resolution pledging them to use every moral means to punish all who should bo concerned in the conviction of UN Mitchel by unfair means. Mr. CREAN said if any act of his could free this country from England he would do it. The resolution passed. Mr. MEAGHER. pledged himself to repeat all the offences with which the Crown counsel had charged hies. Mr. MAGEE threatened vengonce on judge, jury, and all concerned in the punishment of Mitchel. The CHAIRMAN objected to the strong language uved by one of the orators. He said they did not advise vio lent metns for the attainment of their liberties. Several voices cried out, " Leave that to ourselves," and the meeting appeared to condemn the hint at mo deration. THE CLUBB.—There were sixteen of them present, numbering about 3,500 well-dressed men; they mi.rohed home in good order. All the troops were under, arms. One of the clubbists was arrested by the police foe giving the order to " march," to his company. COUNTER PROCLAMATIONS. The following proclamations were generally voided up last night, but shortly after daylight this morning few copies were to be seen in the city:— " The Council of the Irish Confederation tot he People of Dublin. " /-‘ol losv - Citizens,—Seein g the incentives. which are daily applied to hurry you into fatal indi /cretion, we dare not shrink from ho duty of giving you. that counsel which the interests of our cause demand. " Within the last few days very plain in, lications have bsen given by the agents of the British Cl overnment in this city, of a desire to provoke you to a, collision with the troops. On last night several thousand isien were under arms in the University, and a strong body of police were sent out into the streets for the purpose, as we conscientiously believe, of creating a riot and thereby furnishing the Government with a pretoext for shedding your blood. " Fellow-citizens,—Do you trust us,".) Do you deem us men, honest, bold, and prudent enu, ugh to advise you in these days of peril? If you do, Ito sr us now. Under no circumstances suffer yourselves to be provoked into a collision at this moment. The gait le of the enemy is plain, and so is yours. 'Theirs is 'to hurry you into a fight when they are prepared, and you are not. Yours is to bide your time. The man wh.o allows himself to be lea or provoked into a reckless lute/ fatal course of action now frustrates the labour of year; , and blasts the pros pects of the country. " Be sure that there rev men amongst you the paid hirelings of the British Ga/ Went, pressing you to an outbreak, and pouring incentive 3 into your ears. Their object is to entrap you and lead 'you to your own ruin, and the ruin of the cause. Not for ourselves, fellow-citizens, but for that cause, we entreat you to disregard them, and hear us. " By ord, " THOMAS MAT cHEW er HALPIN, Sec. " Council-rooms, 9, D'Oliey e-street, May 20, 1848." Notice by the Council of Coe Irish Confederation:— " Whereas a notice has, been issued by the police authorities, prohibiting ti recessions accompanied by crowds of persons shoutin , 6 in a disorderly manner, and obstructing the public t' Joroughtares ; and whereas it may be erroneously sup posed, in consequence of that TRIAL OF MR. MITCHEL. The grand jury of the city of Dublin this day returned true bills avainst Mr. Mitchel. The accused has given up the intention of defending himself, and entrusted the conduct of his case to Mr. Robert Holmes, the father of the Irish bar, and one of its brightest ornaments, not withstanding his advanced age, which is upwards of eighty years. This fact has inspired the friends of Mr. Mitchel with more confidence than they posSessed when he declared his determination of addressing the jury himself, and of repeating the political sentiments fur which he is prosecuted. After some proceedings in court, Sir C. O'LoaBLEN applied 'to the Court as a matter of favour that Mr. Mitchel should not be called on to atuaninne.misoorise.th, anTneornae.W plead until the following morning, inasmuch as • he then intended to apply to the Conk to quash the ndictment altogether.

The chair was occupied by Mr. JOHN 'FITZGERALD (the foreman in the late prosecution against the Member for Limerick), who informed the meeti.ag that the second dissentient juror in that case was, :he understood, a Protestant. Mr. O'CoNNELL then laid an abstract. of the receipts and expenditure of the Loyal Nationa.rl Repeal Asso ciation, from last audit on the 31st of December, 1847, to the Ist of May, 1848, being fo':tr months, before the Association, and called on subscri;bers in arrear to pay up. After the transaction of' some ordint.ry business, Mr. GALWAY gave notice of a motion for the next day of meeting., to call the attention of the Association to the conduct of the Crown in !rocking juries in the late prosecutions, and also the triall, that are about to take place. At half-past four o'clock the rent was announced to be 25/.

On t:Lie reverse of the cards is a small plan of the basin, 511051 ing the area of the basin to be seven acres ; the width, across to be 400 feet ; and the length, ut the extreme point, to be 900 feet ; and the depth of water, at sprin g tides, to be 26 feet six inches. The first booth is s ituated on the north side, at the corner of the north inle ;, where the last stone of the work re mains to be I t slaced ; the second booth is on the south boundary wal 1, where the brass foundries and the sinithe ries are are e rected ; the third booth ranges the whole length of the outer sea wall, or pier, on the left, leading from the cot: ailed up to the first booth, and running the entire lengtl . of the western side of the basin, booths, tier above tier, from four to 21. On this side the factory the building is, united, and behind it a timber shed and smithery. On the outer sea wall, on the western side of the basin, - forming the entrance on the right, is the sa luting ba',;:.ery. Mr. Peter bolt, the contractor, has also prepared cards of admission for his friends, on which are printed some very interesting details of the measure ments ot the stone and wood which have been consumed in the eioastruction of this massive work. A is .ege number of hands are still employed in making prepar:ations for the grand ceremony of opening. The outer pile darn, which was composed of large balks of timber dowelled and confined by string pieces and caulked, and which was placed across the entrance of the basin for the 'protection of the caisson while building, was re mov•ed on Monday. Holes were cut through the bari.s, and three large lighters were brought to the da in at low water and hove down to it. As the tide re ae and lifted the vessels, the dam, after u treinen d Sus strain, was brought on the chains, lifted, and e nine up en masse. Yesterday the caisson was pumped mit and removed, and the lighters brought to bear on the inner dam, which was removed in one mass, in a similar manner at high water, therefore the basin was full. On Monday evening the Dockyard Battalion was d rawn up in doubl e file round the margin of the basin, and occu pied nearly the whole four sides. The men will be drawn up in their uniform, in a similar manner, on the day of opening.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN HUNGERFORD MARKET. — Last night, about a quarter past eleven, a fire broke out in the eastern gallery of liungerford -Market, in the Strand, which for nearly two hours burned with great . vehemence, destroying in its progress a large amount of property. The flames commenced in the hay stores be longing to Mr. Milligan, immediately over a number of fishmongers' shops. The engines were early in arriving, and no time was lost in setting them to work; but not withstanding the immense torrents of water scattered over the fire, it continued to progress most fearfully, and having burned away the doors of the Dolphin Tavern, the total destruction of that spacious building appeared inevitable. The firemen, however, kept to their posts, and confined the flames to that portion of the market in which they originated; but they were not extinguished until the whole of the stores from the northern tower to the Dolphin was totally destroyed, and the tavern seri ously damaged. The premises , occupied severally b y Mr. Dorey, Mr. Ball, Mr. lowell, M immediately r. Br own , M r . Gil son, and Mr. Gould, under M r . Milli gan ' s , have received serious injury by wat er , fi re, an d h ast y removal. The origin of the fire i s un k nown; but f rom the tact of a fire having broken out in the same portion of the market a few days since, strong suspicion is en tertained that it was the work of some v il e i ncen diary. I The property destroyed, tis understood, was insured. " HE COT T A G E."—NOBLEMEN and GENTLEMEN are respectfully informed that " THE COT l' AGE," No. 2, Bennett -street, Bt.
