ANOTTIFIZ ENLARGEMENT. E VSTEEKLY DISPATCH, This .I ,, rnal at prescni the largest in CXISIODCC-11, rivalled for its ~a rl v int,lEg,:nee and tmeompronthiug advec:xy the Rights of MkutiLnd—wii! De ENLARGED, On and after SUNDAY, the 7th of JANUARY, 1849, to SIXTEEN PAGES, CONTAINING SIXTY-FOUR COLUMNS, OF TUE SAME SIZE AND FORM AS AT PRESENT, WITHOUT ANY EXTRA CHARGE By its zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch derotion to the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to the upholder of abuse?, and a powerful auxiliary on behalf of the oppressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and exposure. Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the srhere of their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here after will answer the purpose of FOUR NEWSPAPERS, and thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time. The columns of the DISPATCII will still continue to be enriched by the powerful contributions of " PUBLICOLA," " CAUSTIC," " CENSORIUS," ELIZA COOK, and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain ments, and whose opinjons have ever advocated the cause of the People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also be ob served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH. A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH Will next year bo printed, Advertisers are respectfully reouested to forward their Advertise ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be paid to them for the current number. An Edition of the DISPATCH is published at Five o'Clock every Saturday morning, for transmission by the First Train and Morning Italia, so that persons residing in towns 250 miles from London may receive it the same evening. An EXPRESS EDITION of the DISPATCH is published every SUNDAY AFTERNOON, containing news direct from Paris, and other parts of the Continent, up to eight o'clock on 6aturday Evening- To prevent disappointment, orders should be given early to Mr. RICHARD IVOOD, 139, Fleet-street, London, to whom Post-office Orders may be made payable, or to any of the Newsveuders, in town and country.

TO the ELECTORS of the WEST RIDING of YORKSHIRE. Leeds, December 4, 1848. Gentlemen —I should not have addressed you again so soon merely to report progr , ss, My friends deem the result of our first week's proceedings highly satisfac•ory, but I have such Important communications to make to you on matters of principle that I will not waste your time by anticipating the poll. My object is to de serve success, even snore than to obtaii it. Imputations of rancour towards Roman Catholics were made against me at the beginning of the contest. No one has at tempte:Lto substantiate this imputation at any of the meet- loge which I have attended. With my controversies on purely religious .topics, Electors lea they have uo con cern. The only question with them is, have I ever proposed, abetted, or contemplated injustice to any class of religionists? If so, let it be proved. I ant ready to demonstrate that [ have used no arguments about the contemplated endowment of the Roman Catho lic priests which they would not be perfectly welcome, if our position was reversed, to use against me. Henceforward, if men of honour think fit to assail me on this point in my absence, I am sure they ill have the man liness to try to substantiate it in my presence. I am ready to meet them, in fair argument, on the day of nomina tion. I only ask to receive beforehand a written statement of the imputation against me, and of the facts by which it is thought to be sustained. Failing such proof, I call upon all friends of Civil and Religious Liberty to support me. I call oil them to he as true to their princi ples as my opponent is to his. Mr. Denison, at Halifax, on Satur day, declared that he should, upon principle, have voted against Mr. Fitzwilliam, as an adv,,cate of tee endowment of the Irish priests. Liberals of all classes and of religions, be not outdone by a Con servative in fidelity to your convictions. You desire equality for all religions, and that is my desire too. I will not be a party to en dow the Roman Catholic church, neither will I consent to pay out of the public purse additional Colonial Bishops of the Church of England. ➢lr. Denison said on Saturday, that he concurred in a system of National Education based upon religion, but that he disap proved aiding the Roman Catholic schools, unless on condition that the religion taught their should not be the religion of their own teachers ! I can only express my astonishment at such a de claration, On the broad ground, then, of principle, I appeal to the Liberal Electors of the West Riding not to be ashamed of their colours. Let Toryism hoist false flags to lead the unsuspicious to believe that it has changed. Let it lower the " Blue" standard, to which even its enemies never refused the name of " true," and let it hold forth the white flag of a hollow and dishonest truce to men who wish to be deceived ! But let those who have inherited from their ancestors the principles and the symbols of liberty, rally round the Orange standard ! Rest assured that, of all impolitic things, a hollow co alition is the most impolitic. The party which adheres to principle is the only one which can count upon success, because it is the only one which deserves it. I am, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged servant, C. E.

COX SAVORY and Co., Silversmiths, &c., 47, Conihill (seven doors from Cracechurch-street), London. A R I A G E. Mr Ono half the wend are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a tense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em -later the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. llonour and justice demand that health shruld form au item in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if those surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., U. each (by cost, in stamp s , I s. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered sy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but tar the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who ewes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—te live after nature's laws—and to keep always an the " runny side of the way." The above works may be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternester-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet-street • Mann, 39, Cornhill; liaison, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally, mornings and evenings), 10, Argyll-plaee Regent-street; and all Booksellers.

THE CATHEDRAL and the ABBEY OR, THE RIVAL CITIES. we poets claim the power of giving speech To whatsoever lies within our reach; To us, it matters not a single jot, Whether things be animate or not. I mention this by way of an excuse For what Fin now about to introduce. 'Twas twelve o'clock at night—and moon and star Shone on the Cities crossed by Temple-bar, When thus the Abbey of the olden time Soliloquised aloud with midnight chime. " Another day is measured by my hands, And still Old Westminster unrivalled stands. I'roud, proud am I to hear my double tower In this great seat of splendour, wealth, and power. What is that boasted town beyond the Bar, C Dmpared with mine, whose scenes surpass it far ?" " Stop," said St. Paul's, " beshrew that empty boast, And think which all the country value= Most— (Here the Cathedral gave another stroke, And London echoed as the big bell spoke).— Where's your Exchange, your Mansion-house, your Docks, Your trading houses with their valued stocks ? You talk of what Old Westminster discloses, But where's yuur ' Mart of Fashion'--where's your MOSES ? Your venerable grey old towers I guess Have seen no match for MOSES' LONDON DRESS. Ah I antiquated temple ! If you saw What thousands MOSES' Winter Garments draw; If you beheld how fine the dresses are, At MOSES' Mart on this side Temple-bar. If your old tower—the home of sleepy bats— Viewed MOSES' far-famed House for LONDON HATS, Hats, touching which, it may be truly said, That MOSES' Hats are always ' at the head.' if you beheld the LONDON BOOTS AND SHOES, Which thousands at the Mart of MOSES' choose ; Could you but witness with your ancient dial How MOSES' Boots and Shoes stand every trial; And could you see their stock of LONDON FURS, In buying which, no purchaser demurs, Furs ibr whose equal you would vainly search, Except at MOSES' Shop, near Aldgate Church. If from your ancient site you could but see Their prime supplies of LONDON HOSIERY. If all the goods of MOSES you could view, You would not vainly boast, s now you do ; But viewing what the princely House discloses, You'd ask yourself the question—` Where's my MOSES ?' " E.

On Saturday this exhilsition was again opened to the public, and finally closed at nine o'clock in the evening. In the mornitwolsortlitsiftAtt , elevf4 4 2tiPek, ,colsiderable interest was created by Elie arrival at the bazaar of Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, in company with the ex-King of the French, Louis Philippe, and his three sons, the Prince de Joinville, the Duke de Nemours, and the Duke d'Aumale. His Royal Highness and the members of the ex-Royal Family of France, were received by Mr. B. T. Brandreth Gibbs, the secretary of the club, Mr. Boul nois, and Mr. Collins, the manager of the bazaar, and conducted through the spacious area. The French I Princes examined the beautiful Hereford ox, belonging to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, which obtained in the first class the first prise of 30/., and silver medal to the breeder. They also expressed their interest in other departments of the show, especially the specimens of South-down ship and pigs, the latter appearing to afford the party, particularly Louis Philippe, considerable amusement. The royal party having examined the various improve ments in the agricultural implements, and expressed their astonishment at the extraordinary specimens of agrcultural produce exhibited by Messrs. Gibbs, of Pic cadilly, Mr. Skirving of Liverpool, and other seedsmen, proceeded to view the great cattle-piece painted by Mr. Ward, R.A. It was explained to the party that this work (the animals all being of the full size of life) had been executed in competition with the renowned bull, by Paul Potter, at the Hague, at the desire of the late Pre sident of the Royal Academy, Benjamin West. The distinguished visitors expressed their admiration of the work, and of the exhibition generally. Amongst the other visitors noticed yesterday, were observed the Duke of Richmond, Lord William Lennox and the Ladies Lennox, the Marquis of Westminster, the Duke of Bedford, the Marquis of Sligo, Earl of Lei cester, the Marquis of Exeter, Lord Portman, Sir Francis Lawley, Major.

One of the witnesses, when describing the accident, said—After I had got into the boat a great many parties came to cross over after me. I wat the third in the boat. The boat before we started was quite full, more so than the boatman wanted. The boatman frequently said ho could not carry any more, and desired no one else to get in. All who were in the boat worked at the Kingston Cotton Mills. I heard one or two people say, if they did not go by that boat they would lose a " quarter," by being too late. (The bell of the factory to which they were going was ringing.) The boatman got the boat off as soon as he could. There were twenty-six or twenty-seven persons in, as near as I can tell. There was no rope used in getting the boat across on this occasion. The water was running down very rapidly. I did not see a sloop next the quay. The persons in the boat were very quarrelsome when they got into the boat, and the boatman told them frequently to be quiet. I don't think he is to blame at all. He pushed her off, and when we got i nto the middl e of the stream the boat " heeled" . over in cons equence of the pushing and quarrelling of the persons who were in. If they had been quiet it would not have happened. There were several people left on the shore who could not get into the boat. It was very dark at the time. I do not think any damage arose from the want of lights, for we have crossed the ferry when it had been darker than yesterday morning. I have also gone over with more people in the boat than we had. lam sure if the people had behaved themselves and kept quiet it would not have happened. Sarah Wood had hold of my leg, but I was obliged to push her off, or she would have drowned me also. It is a good boat. Verdict—" Acci dentally drowned.", DREADFUL MURDER NEAR EXETER.—During the last few days Mr. Frederick Leigh, one of the coroners for Devonshire, has been engaged in investigating the circumstances connected with the death of Mrs. Grace Holman, an old lady, aged eighty years, who was mur dered in her bed on the morning of Sunday last. The deceased resided in a cottage, at a place called West water, Tedburn, St. Mary, near the town of Collumpton. She resided by herself, but there is another cottage ad joining that in which the deceased lived, occupied by a man and his wife, named Colloes, and those are the only two tenements for some distance. The deceased was seen alive and in good health on Saturday evening last, but on the following morning was found dead in her bed from suffocation, the house having been stripped of every moveable valuable article. There appears to be no doubt that there were two persons engaged in the atro cious deed, Collon's door having been secured during the night by the murderers, to prevent him from coming out in case the old lady should have raised au alarm; this was effected by inserting a gimblet in the door-post, and running a rope through the latch, which rope was securely fastened so as to prevent persons from coming out. One of the persons then, by b rea ki ng a square o f glass, succeeded in opening a window, after which, it is supposed, he came down and let his accomplice in. After committing the murder, the assassins helped themselves to all the plate, money, and wearing apparel which they could find, and up to the present time no clue has been obtained as to who the persons were. After some unim portant evidence the inquiry was adjourned. A PRISONER SHOT IN AN ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE. —ln the course of Friday a f t( rnoun, the court at the Surrey Sessions received inform at i on t h at one of the pri soners confined in Brixton House of Correction had attempted to escape, and in so doing was shot by the governor. It appeared from what our reporter could glean, that the prisoner had succeeded in climbing the wall, when the governor was apprised of it. The latter instantly proceeded to th e p l ace and discovered the pri soner creeping along the top of the wall. On his ap proach be threw down a heavy stone, which struck the governor on the left hand, dislocating one of his fingers. The latter was armed with a loaded blunderbuss,;which he fired at the man and shot him in the thigh, when he was immediately captured. Two of the magistrates in stantly proceeded to th e H ouse of C orrect i on to inves tigate the affair, the result of which is not yet known.

At last, recourse was had to Holloway's Ointment and Pills and by their efficacy the leg has been perfectly healed, presenting scarcely the trace of a wound.

STORM IN TIIE CHANNEL. - The weather in the Channel has been most tempestuous, an d has nearly stopped all intercourse with the Channel I s l an d s. The difficulty of getting in or out of Jersey, Ow i ng to the surrounding shoals and rocks, during the present bois terous weather, is very peat. The Express mail steamer, which ought to have arrived last Monday, did not arrive at Southampton until Thursday. The Courier, which left Southampton with the mail on Monday, was obliged to put into Studland Bay until Wednesday morning. She was met between Jersey and Guernsey on Wednesday. There are now two mails due from Jersey and Guernsey. ~ /~ ~ O . 7% , ._.-- . ..• • . . ..,-- ._____ I, ~, : . • ...., - -- -- 2--e.---/ . :.--..--- - • -=.:1.• '-:**' ! ....^ ( I" ...„ _,„ . .t.. ~,,,,. ~,,,,,,,.., , e .: :: -.1, 4 „ , ..,. to I.Zet'te* i k ---:.."..,`,,,:. - / ~!--2 7 • ''' i, • 1 - 1 :1 rz•: , , , - .- 4 ,.. r tfk,A,,,t.,s-,_ t;.t„.......:?,„..,,:,, b I 4. 4.•'•\' , 4 - - : - .)l] t • p 4 . •--,,, 4 'n k _.. .. ,1.,, ._ ,.. . ..... . k <i ts. .., 0, _-__--- , ..' -. • __ell, -,k:.. 1 tptrif-,rie,--.7.77- ,, ,,. ~.- ,--'1,(;., ~ 4 . tr ---, - i . \..'• :0,1.17!t. •,-,....„ '•- - 4,444 ' _lt_ tes ' , 44', ~ s , ^ ( 0 1 1,4 \•44. ..

" Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. - During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTH." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them' a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours. but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

L 0 V E is the leading feelin g o f th e h uman breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every.other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour; this golden .tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time Spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract:asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results •of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine • Law for tke fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation thelnost horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of analleyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF - FItESERVATION, Illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs; with practical observe ions en the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University' of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases. REVIEW OF THE WORK. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him I In the book before is such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

V. BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. [PRICE SD. COMBINED VAPOUR ENGINE. On Friday we had an opportunity of examining an engine on this principle invented by M. Du Tremblay, at the yard of Messrs. Horne, the engineers of High-street, Whitechapel, in full work. The engine was originally brought out in Paris, in 1846; subsequently the French Government had an engine on the principle of theinven tor, with some trifling modifications, constructed, and appointed commissioners, with M. La Fonte, an officer of marines, at their head, to experimontalise as to its value. This commission made a report in July last, in which they stated that the power of the steam-engine was more than doubl e d by th e a ddi t i on o f M. D u T rem bl a y 's appa ratus, without an y a dditi ona l f ue l b e i ng required; and that, cons e q uent l y, t h e space occup i e d b y t h e com bined apparatus was below that of a steam-engine by reason of the diminution in the boiler and the number of furnaces required. According to a description of the inven tion with which we were favoured by Mr. Horne, it appears th a t i t i s app li e d " e i ther to a single engine with . two cylind e r s an d pi stons , or , as i s usua l for maritime purposes, t wo di st i nct eng i nes w i t h a cylinder and piston each." To the engine exhibited a small pipe is attached from a boiler, by which one of the pistons is acted upon by steam, as in the ordinary steam-engine. Upon the escape of th e steam from the first cylinder in which it so acts u p on t h e p i ston, it is received in an air tight case, termed a vapouriser, in which there are a number of small copper tubes filled with perchloride, or chloroform. Upon the steam coming into contact with the tubes, the perchloride becomes vapourised, and works the other cylinder, while the steam is condensed and re turns into the boiler, as warm water, to regenerate fresh steam, or motive power. In the mean time, the per chloride, after exerting its force upon the second cylinder, is, in its turn, condensed, and, by means of a force pump, returned to theivapooriser, which it thus kept regularly supplied, the perchloride being alter nately vapourised and condensed. In addition to the advantage of giving greater power to engines than by the ordinary steam process, the vapour being nearly as to_ 1 more powerful than steam, it is stated that a saving of nearly 50 per cent. is effected in fuel—a great desideratum, irrespective of the saving in cost, to:steam vessels going on long voyages, where it is desirable to have the fuel in as small bulk as possible. M. Du Tremblay originally used ether as his vapourising agent, but, at the suggestion of M. Arago, the eminent French astronomer, he has substituted perchloride, which, although it did not vapourise at quite so low a temperature as ether, has the advantage of being per fectly incombustible and i nex pl o d a bl e , th us removing an objection whi c h was ma d e to t h e i nvent i on as origi nally brought out of the inflammable nature of the liquid used. We are informed by Mr. Du Tremblay that an engine of similar construction to that exhibited on Fri day (which is about 10 or 12-horse power) or 35- horse power, has been constantly at work for 14 hours a day at a glass manufactory in Lyons for more than 12 months, during which time the liquid used has been ether, without any acc id ent or disarrangement of the machinery having occurred. The inventor having se cured the right to the sole use of the invention in the United Kingdom, we understand that a company is about to be formed to bring it before the public, one with a similar object having been already formed in France. LIGHT RAILWAY PASSENGER ENGINES. THE " FAIRFIELD." On Friday the first long trip was made with a class of locomotive which, in connexion with a carriage attached and fixed to the same frame, is considered by some practical men to be the one thing necessary for an eco nomical mode of working much of the branch traffic of the country—a species of railway trade that has, per se, sadly disappointed the anticipations of the majority of railway directors. The engine, or rather the engine -car riage in question, is the " Fairfield," described by us some ten days or a fortnight since, and has, as we then stated, been constructed by Mr. Adams, of th• Fairfield works, near Bow, for the Bristol and Exeter Company, who purpose work ing with it the traffic of their Tiverton Branch. The engine itself weighs about five tons, and is attached to the carriage both transversely and longi tudinally by bolts, so that the two run together upon one frame. The engine has a 4 feet 6-inch driving-wheel, an 8-inch cylinder, and a 12-inch stroke. She has an upright boiler, her heating surface, including 25 feet of fire-box, is 235 feet, and she keeps steam very well at 100Ibs. pressure. The entire length of the engine and carriage is, we believe, 40 or 41 feet, and the distance between her leading (vie., her driving) wheels and the trailing-wheels, 28 feet. The centre and trailing wheels run loose on their axles, which also run loose on their journals. The carriage is a composite one, with a first compartment affording accommodation for 16, and a second-class compartment for holding 32 persons. - The tender, as we explained in our previous notice, is in front of the driving-wheels, and holds about 920 gallons. The coke is carried in a box attached to the front of the carriage. The S trip wade on Friday was from Paddington to Swindon and back. The number of guests was 18, but the second-class compartment was weighted so as to make the load taken equal to the full complement of passengers. Among those who made the trip were— Mr. Mac Gregor, the chairman, and Mr. Smale, one of the directors of the South-Eastern Company; Mr. Bruce the chairman of the East Anglian Company; Mr. Farey, C.E., Mr. Roney, the secretary of the Eastern Counties Railway; Mr. D. Gooch, the locomotive superintendent of the Great Western Railway; Mr. Samuel, the resi dent engineer of the Eastern Counties; Mr. Adams, the patentee; Mr. A. Sturrock, the superintendent of the Swindon locomotive works of the Great Western line; Mr. Hjorth, the inventor of the electro magnetic engine; Mr. Reynolds,' who carried out i the whole of the details for the construction of the en gine; and several other gentlemen.: The weather was extremely unfavourable, a stiff side wind prevailing all the way down to Swindon. In addi tion to this, the " little pa►senger engine" laboured un der the disadvantage of a leak at the mouthpiece of the boiler. As the leak was inwards, it tended slightly to damp the fire. A drizzling rain fell almost throughout the trip, but as the driving-wheels have four or five tons 1 upon them, there was very little chance of their " slipping." In the journey down, the driver, Alexander Hind marsh, a picked man from the Eastern Counties, and who worked the engine admirably, was obliged to slacken his speed over several of the girder bridges, as there was some doubt whether the tank and framing, which are not more than nine inches from the rails, would clear the timbers. He was obliged to slacken for several miles, by a goods train being ahead. This slackening afforded abundant opportunity of testing the starting and stopping capacity of the engine; and, as will be very naturally supposed, the "little" engine be haved remarkably well under the test. She " brought up " in 150 or 200 yards from 30 or 35 to 6 or 8 miles per hour, and got into her speed again within a quarter of a mile. The maximum speed going down was 38'3 miles per hour, up a gradient of 4 feet per mile. The consump tion of coke, with the heavy wind and all the drawbacks invariably attendant upon the working of a new engine, was, we understand, 14ibs. per mile. At Swindon the fire was "drawn," and the leak in the mouth-piece of the boiler greatly lessened. The speed from Swindon to Paddington was very good. The greater portion of the trip was run at an average speed of upwards of 43 miles per hour, and the maximum velocity down four feet per mile was 49'3 miles per hour. The distance from Slough to the ticket platform at Paddington, about 17i miles, was run within 30 minutes, including the time lost in slackening for up• wards of a mile in approaching the platform. Mr. Gooch rode upon the engine throughout the down and up trips. We understand that the consumption of coke in the up journey was from 111 b. to 121 b. per mile. Mr. Samuel, the resident engineer of the Eastern Counties Railway, under whose direction the 22 cwt. " Express" used upon that railway by him for inspecting the per manent way was built, and who has given much atten tion to the question of light engines, is of opinion that he will be able to work the " Fairfield" at 71b. of coke per mile. We think he underrates the quantity that will be consumed. In stating the average maximum velocities maintained i and reached by the passenger engine on Friday, it s ne cessary to state that she has not been construc t e d f or high speeds. The Tiverton branch, for which she has been built, has very heavy gradients; as heavy, if our memory does not deceive us, as 1 in 87, and it is with a view to the working over such gradients that the dia meter of the driving-wheel has been limited to 4 feet 6 inches. A similar description of engine-carriage, but with the common horizontal boiler and a five feet driv ing-wheel, is in the course of construction for the Eastern Counties Company. We have little doubt that froms6 to 60 miles per h our w ill b e reached by the latter enels. _ The singular featur e i n th e construction of these light engines is, that we are returning nearly to the very weight of the late George Stephenson's "old Rocket, " which carried o ff t h e prize on the memorable tri al of locomotive speed upon the Liverpool and Manches ter Railway, in October, 1829 The "Rocket" Was, road - worthy, 4 tons 5 cwt. Wi th . her tender, 3 tons 4 c!vt., including coke and water, she took two loaded car riages, weighing 9 tons 10 cwt., or a gross load of 17 tons, at a maxim um ve l oc i ty of 29 miles per hour. Th at experiment was upon a level run of two miles. We here see that with an engine and tender weighing together, in working order, 7 tons 9 cwt., a speed of 29 miles per hour wa s reac h e d w i t h a gross l oa d o f 17 t ons . he precise m ax i mum spee d was 29 1.9, and the pressur e in the boiler is stated to have been 50 lbs. only. The " Fairfield" engine —tender, water, und coke—weighing 5 tons, will, with a gross load of . 13 tons, reach a velo city, we believe, of nearly 50 miles per hour ; an d we have no doubt that the engine-carriage now being con • structed for the Eastern Counties Company will, with its tender, coke, end water, weighing 6 or 6i tons, take a gross load of 17 tons at 45 miles per hour. Such are the locomotive improvements over a period of twenty years. We believe the improvements in steam power, as applied to eavigation, have been greater, and that during the last ten years we have reduced the dead weight of steam-vessels one-third, and increased the relative power of the engine sixfold. The oiestion involved in the construction and work- DECEMBER 11, 1848. IRELAND. THE LATE CATASTROPHE ON BOARD THE LONDONDERIZY STEAMER, The Banner if Ulster contains the foidowing details, communicated by a Londonderry correspondent:— " DERRY, DEC. 6.—A1l now is unravelled, and with every one the feeling is, that there was the very grossest neglect, on the part of the commander and crew, regard ing the unfortunate dead. The destruction of human life was so great, that the mind can hardly believe it a reality; yet this morning about one-'calf of the bodies were still uncoffined and uninterred. It is thought that by tomorrow morning all will be enclosed inside the burying-ground of our workhouse. As cart after cart moved on to the workhouse, yesterday, some containing four, five, and six coffins, the wailing and the cries of the surviving relatives were most herirtrending'; and! no wonder, as the coffins of wife or husband, of brothers, sisters, and children, with whom they hoped to spend i❑ a foreig❑ land many happy days, hurried so barbarously to a premature pauper's grave, unwaked, and almost un known of to their acquaintances of early life. " I regret that the coroner's jury did not call the at tention of the Government to the shocking manner in which steerage passengers are provided for and treated on board our steamers plying between Ireland and Bri tain. It is surely as much, if not more so, the duty of our legislators to interfere with steam-packet companies as with railway companies; and, when they caused the waggons for the transit of fourth-class passengers to be covered over for land travelling, how much more neces vary is it for those travelling by water, exposed to the roughest sea, the coldest wind, and the pitiless rain, to have a covering to shelter there, which their wretched clothing is insufficient forAoing. And I do hope the press of this country, ever forward in promoting acts of phi lanthropy and benevolence, will not rest satisfied until they see some desirable reform brought about for the safety and comfort of the poorer classes, so many of whom travel daily by our steamers from one port to another. With such an awful lesson before them as seventy-two human beings stierifcod.for want of such accommodation as I suggest, is enough to arouse not only the whole press of the United Kingdom, but every Member of the Legislature, to devise and bring about a speedy remAy."

Bid. was found by the constabulary on the bodies of the deceased individuals, and on examining the floor, after their re moval from the scene of death, a further sum of about 101. was discovered. It is scarcely necessary to add, that all this money will be accounted for.

ALLEGED MURDEL—Some persons were drinking on Tuesday night at BadmintorA, Gloucestershire, when a quarrel arose, and some time afterwards one of the party, named J. Watts, was :found dead and covered with blood in the tavern-yard. Another of the drinkers, named Hobbs, was taken into , custody, and a verdict of wilful murder has since b ee.n returned by a jury. Hobbs is now in gaol awaiting . trial on the capital charge. A murder has been committed near Pershore, Worcestershire. The victim lien young woman named Staight, who was returning h once, when some person killed her, it is supposed, by blows on the head. A man of bad character, who had been heard to threaten de ceased, hes been taken into cuswdy. ~, 7_ , trriap%- - tngine is its co P.roial 4,16 n by Mr. and Air. radcptiou of ito vent will bat many ()Kau ines may ing of the steam-ca' utility. The view Samuel is, that by 9.1 ; e be secured—the gne, worked at one-halt the present coat, both with re spect to the outlay for stock, and wear and tear of the ;-and that a large per centage of saving of coke will also be realised; the other, that a double line of light rails may, if landowners can be induced to assist in the construction, be laid down for 5,00QL per mile, working stock included. Mr. Adams and Mr. Samuel conceive that so cheap a rate of construction would enable land owners to bring very large agricultural districts into a high state of cultivation by affiarding them the means, in the first instance, of the cheap conveyance of manure ; and in the next, a means of carrying their produce, at low charges, to markets from which they are now, by distance and the expense of transit, entirely excluded. Perhaps the real objection which lies :against: the eight-inch cylinder engine is its incapability of dealing with a fluctuating traffic. The trade of a branch line may be light to-day and heavy to-morrow. The ave rage number per train may, it is true, be but twenty or thirty, hut occasionally sixty, or seventy, or a hundred may require accommodation. With good gradients the little engine could, of course, deal with such a load at reduced rates of speed, but she would want further pas senger accommodation. It might, therefore, be neces sary to provide at least the down terminal station with some of the ordinary carriage stock. But this objection, however, is one which supposes that railway directors will run upon their branch lines a new species of stock inadequate to the requirements of the ascertained traffic. We think directors have now learnt wisdom, and that the Bristol and Exeter board are perfectly sa tisfied that the " Fairfield" will do all the work they re quire of her. There are many branch lines where the passenger traffic is far too heavy to be worked by eight -inch cylinder engines, unless the trains were very frequently run. It will, we know, be contended by Mr. Adams and Mr. Samuel that frequent trains are the needful things for branch traffic; but those gentlemen must bear in mind that branch lines with heavy traffic generally, have a considerable amount of goods trade. To work such a traffic with eight-inch cylinder carriage-engines would require a very considerable number of " trains," and a large number of drivers. The economy of eight-inch cylinder carriage-engines would in this case be ex tremely problematical. We at once and unhesitatingly admit that the saving in wear and tear of permanent way will be very consi derable where the little engines can be brought into use. We are also ready to admit that light engines may be constructed for running light express trains over main lines, but there would be little economy in this unieSa the speed of the goods trains were reduced at the same time. For such branches as the Deal, the Bedford, the Dunstable, the Aylesbury, the Cirencester, the Cleve don, the Newmarket, the llertford, and twenty others of light traffic, the use of the passenger carriage-engine would effect a considerable saving; in fact, it would convert a positive loss into a positive gain. Every facility was afforded by the directors of the Great Western Company for the experimental trip with the " little" engine. THE " LITTLE ENGLAND." On Saturday we gave a description and the workings of the passenger-engine built by Mr. Adams for the Tiverton branch of the Bristol and Exeter Railway. We now propose to give a description and the workings of a little six-whe e l e d p assenger - eng i ne of the orinary character, constructed by Mr. England, of Hatcham Works, near the New-cross station, Deptford. The engine, which is called the " Little England," has been built as a model of a class of locomotives for carrying on the traffic of branch lines, and its performances are so good, and so pregnant with useful results, in relation to the working of light and short traffic, that an extended notice of them is, we think, desirable. The important difference in the mode of working the traffic by the two little engines mentioned is, that the " Fairfield," with its tender and passenger-carriage, are upon one frame, and that the " Little Englspid" and its tender, both o n one f rame, work the ordinary stock of a company. The " Little England" and tender weigh together, when roadworthy, 9 tons 5 cwt. The " Little England" has a 7-inch cylinder, a 12-inch stroke, and 4 feet 6 in. driving wheels. The diameter of the leading trailing wheels is 3 feet. The distance between the extreme centres is 14 feet. The boiler has 60 tubes, 11 ft. 2 in. in length, with a diameter of 1 in. inside. The 6re-box has an area of 27 feet, and the total heating surface is 282 feet. The tank holds 268 gallons. The " Little England," therefore, while the diameter of its driving wheel, and its length of stroke, are those of Mr. Adams's " Fairfield," has an inch less of cylinder, but 2 feet more of fire-box, and 47 feet more of heating surface, while her weight, includ ing tender, coke, and water, is about 4 tons heavier. It will, however, be seen that the " Little England" is in no way inferior in her performances to the " Fair field," but that in factshehas taken a grossload of 22 tons up a gradient of 12 feet per mile at a greater velocity than the," Fairfield" propelled a gross load of 18 tons up a gradient of 4 feet per mile. But there is this differ ence between the two engines. The " Little England " is a first-rate piece of workmanship; at the highest pressure, although the engine is just out of the shop, not a breath of steam escapes, except through the blast pipe and safety valve, and she runs what the drivers call perfectly " sweet"—that is, easy in all her parts. At thirty miles per hour she glides along almost noiselessly, and with all the steadiness of a well-balanced, properly coupled first-class carriage when running at one-third of the speed. A more beautiful " model " of a lo comotive we have never seen. On the other hand, the " Fairfield" has had her boiler very badly made ; the springs of her driving wheels are much too rigid, and those of her trailing wheels far too flexible ; so that thr oug h out the down and up trips between Padington and Swindon on Friday last a considerable loss of power was sustained from the boiler leaking into the fire-box, from the sharp blows given by the rigid springs of the driving-wheels, and the irregular motion, frequently of a very disagreeable cha racter, caused by the weakness of the trailing-wheel springs. All these things will, we are quite sure, be avoided in the passenger-engine now almost finished for the Eastern Counties Railway, Mr. Adams has secured steadiness by the extreme length, 28 feet, between his driving-wheels and the trailing-wheels of the carriage s Mr. England has obtained equal steadiness by placing the axles of the leading wheels of the engine and the trailing-wheels of the tender exactly one-half the dis tance—viz., 14 feet. The " Little England" started from the New-comes station of the Brighton Railway, with three first-class carriages containing 31 persons, among whom we ob served Mr. Ransome, the deputy chair man o f t h e E astern Union and Hadley drench Railway; Mr. C. H. Gsegory, the engineer of the Bristol and Exeter Railway • Mr. Peter Bruff, the engineer o f th e E astern Union Railway; Mr. A. Weightman, the manager of the Blackwell Railway ; Mr. J. Cubitt, C.E., Mr. Statham and several other gentlemen connected with railway engineering. The gross load was, as we have statevl, about 22 tons. The weather was fine, but a very strong head wind was blowing the whole of the down and up journeys. At starting the engine had very little pressure in the boiler, and the New-cross incline-2f miles of 1 in 100—was not worked over in less than 10 min. 34 sec. Includigg the time lost by the engine thus start ing at a low prelsure, and including also a stoppage of 8 min. 47 see. at the Three Bridges station, the 47i miles —viz., from New Cross to Brighton, were performed in 1 hour 48 min. 45 sec. Deducting the stoppage at the Three Bridges station, the average speed was 28 miles per hour. - The maximum velocity of the " Little England" down 1 in 264 was nearly 61 miles per hour, and the maxi mum velocity up the same gradient was 33.6 miles per hour. The valve was screwed down to 1051 b., at which the engine keeps steam very well. The consumption of coke for the down and up journeys averaged 81b. per mile. The consumption per mile for the journey was a b out 611 b. per mile. We believe that the " Little England " will maintain on a level an average speed of 45 miles per hour wit* a gross load of 20 tons, or 16 miles per hour more than the maximum velocity reached 19 years since with a gross load of 17 tons with " the Rocket;" an engine which was at that time very justly deemed a wonderful specimen of mechanical skill and ingenuity. Such a locomotive as the " Little England" would, with wheels of 3 feet 9 inches diameter coupled,of speedand a 9 or 10 inch cylinde r , b e a b le to work,at a ten or twelve miles an hour, the goods traffic of nearly li all e vtah also ssom thatall er w b i t r h a branch s m l i n a e l l s c i y n l a the e r k and n n g d d o t h u e . p e W r f e e c be ly safe ability of working the boiler at 140 or 150 lbs , the a " Little En g l an d" would be able to work t • of fire or six passen ger carriages at moderate speeds , o ver avec very heavy gradients, and that she would do so at a very With hw enginesconsum o pt: , on of cok e . the " Little England " or "Fa' tr field" class, the services of the half" permanent-way men" employed upon branch lines might be dispensed with, and the rails would last at least five times the period of their present duration; and it is thought that the 12- inch cylinder engine working at high pressure—and such a pressure might be secured with an engine and tender weighing together not more than 12 tons—the passenger traffic of the majority of the railways of the country might be managed at moderate speeds and at a greatly-reduced cost, both in working expenses and maintenance of way.—emerald.
