Colonel EVANS next proposed, " The health of Mr. Church warden Simpson, and the Reformers of St. Martin's." After Mr. Simpson's health had been drunk, the Stewards presented him with a most elegant service of plate, as an humble testimonial of the gratitude and esteem of his fellow_ parishioners for his successful efforts in legally abolishing the select vestries of the parish. Mr. SIMPSON returned thanks, and proposed " The health of their excellent Chairman, Colonel Evans.--( Cheers.) Colonel EvANs, in returning thanks, said that great events had taken place within the last few months; the country with all its institutions was in a state of transition, and an attempt had recently been made to contravene the beneficial effects of the Reform Bill, for which they had been all struggling. But, notwithstanding, reform had triumphed in spite of all the efforts which had been made, and nearly the same men had been chosen to compose the present Ministry as those who were so unwarrantably dismissed to make room for Sir Robert Peel.—( Cheers.) The Hon. Chairman concluded by pro posing " The health of their guest, C. A. Tulk, Esq., M. P. for Poole." NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF STORIES OF WATERLOO.

In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in the other • have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency ; these are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption, Loss of Muscular Power, and various other complaints, usually characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which, during his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive practice, has invariably proved successful ; with concluding remarks on the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

By the COUNTESS DOWAGER MOUNTCASHELL. Revised and augmented by the Author. *.* The observations and advice contained in this little work are chiefly the result of the author's own experience ; and , Ahen they are founded on the information of others, that information has been examined with the strictest attention. The book is the production of many years' study and reflection ; and the author cannot help flattering herself that it will be of use to those for whom it is designed—the anxious Mother, the attentive Governess, and the careful Nurse. Long experience and much observation have induced her to belie'ie, that a great number of the diseases which afflict the human race, are the effects of imprudence and neglect in the early part of life : and that by constant and judicious attention to the physical education, during the first fifteen years, many of thesetliseases might be avoided. For this reason she is anxious to diffuse amongst her own sex, a species of knowledge which may enable mothers to educate their children with better prospects of health and happiness ; and perhaps, occasion them to take a greater interest in the welfare of their offspring, by proving how it depends on their attention.

After the breaking up of the Court, on Tuesday, the Mem bers who did not leave the Court to show their approbation of the course pursued by the Lord Mayor, assembled and elected Alderman Wood their Chairman, and proceeded to consider what was best to be done under the awkward circumstances in which the Corporation are placed. Alderman Noon repeated what occurred at the Mansion house, before the Aldermen, and suggested the propriety of letting the matter of dispute stand over till next Court. Sir PETER LAURIE—We have bad the opinion of the Com mon Sergeant in writing, and the Lord Mayor says he will not call another Court until the matter is settled. Is it not better to let the business of the Court go on in its regular way, and postpone this ? Mr. HEPPEL said the question was not wh e th er th e Com . . mittee of the whole Court was legal or not, but whether a breach of privilege had not taken place, and whether the Lord Mayor had not taken upon himself to decide upon it without an appeal to the Court ?—( Hear, hear.) Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR said that it was not a ques tion for lawyers at all, but for the decision of the Court. Mr. PEWTRESS said that the Court had arrived at a peculiar crisis. The wrong began with the Lord Mayor, and the best way in which the Lord Mayor could protect his own privileges was by not meddling with the privileges of others. He thought they had better apply, in this emergency, to the standing orders. How to overcome the obstinacy of the indi vi.:ual, was a matter of difficult calculation ' • but in his opinion they had better meet it p a ti en tly, as they had already met it. The Committee of the whole Court could, he thought, take the subject into consideration.—( Hear, bear !) Sir PETER LAURIE said the Lord Mayor had the dis cretion of putting on or taking off any notice of motion. The Town-clerk handed the business-paper to the Lord Mayor, who threw his eye over it, and drew his pen across anything he pleased. That was the manner in which it was done in his mayoralty. Mr. R. TAYLOR—And did you omit anything ? Sir PETER LAURIE—No, I believe I did not —(A laugh.) The fact is, you never will have a Court till this matter is set tled. You can't change the Constitution. There is more power in this Chair, than in the throne of England.— Laughter.) It is the most extraordinary power that ever existed.—( Renewed laughter.) A Lord Mayor may say-- You shan't have a Court during my year.—(Laughter.) Mr. R. TAYLOR said that such information was worth a Jew's eye. What a case was this for the Municipal Re formers ! What would be the effect of showing to the Legis lature the existence of so monstrous a power, if what the Hon. Knight said was true ?—(A laugh.) Mr. E. WILSON said, that until they got a concession, they could not proceed with the public business. Alderman Woon—What is the best step to take for that purpose ? Mr. FRENCH—Let us call Wardmotes throughout the City, to take the conduct of the Lord Mayor into consideration. Mr. W. WESTON thought there ought to be a Cbmnaittee of the whole Court, to agree to and publish resolutions on the subject of the obstinacy of the individual. Sir PETER Lauktis—There was more than one individual concerned. Mr. WEsToN—The Court of Aldermen who had hitherto taken a wrong view of the subject, would, it was to be hoped, advise the Lord Mayor properly—since Members of the Court of Common Council had grossly calumniated the rest, by re - presenting that their conduct--and not the Lord Mayor's— wim- outrageous, and had obstructed the business of the Court.—( Hear. ) _ _ Mr. Willi; quite concurred in what Mr. Weston had sug gested. The simple point to be decided was, whether the Lord Mayor had, or had not, the power to exclude anything he pleased from the paper of business. The Lord Mayor had, again and again, by virtue of his office, been guilty of a breach of privilege. In the House of Lords, when that branch of the Legislature wished, they consulted the judges, but the opinion of the judges did not govern that House. Here, how ever, the Lord Mayor would ru l e by hi s di ctum , an d pretended to he molt unbounded power. If—under such circum stances—the Common Council did not make a resolute stand, they deserved to meet with additional insolence.— ( Hear, hear.) They were accused by those who advocated the Lord Mayor's conduct, of having obstructed the public business : and then up got the Lord Mayor, and, with an insolence which ought not to be submitted to, lectured the Court as if there did not exist amongst them as much gentlemanly feeling and independence as could be found in his own person. He must declare that he had never seen that man get up and lecture the Court without feeling deeply degraded, and the Court ought on any such occasion to rise in a body and vote the offender out of the Chair.—( Hear.) Mr. PRIOR said, if any liberal-minded men would go to the Lord Mayor and implore him to renounce his bad advisers, he thought there would be in his Lordship a disposition to act properly. _ Mr. bALLOWAT could not sec that they had any chance with such a man except through the medium of the King's Bench or Parliament. It was impossible to brook his lectures, and every gentleman who rose to say a word was immediately threatened with the dissolution of the Court. The meeting then voted thanks to Aldermen Wood, and summoned a meeting of the Committee on the great question. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.

Mr. Harrison's Repentance, 5 yrs I have read the Specification of the Patent for the Pneu matic Railway and the accompanying papers, and have also examined the drawings and models which have been sub mitted to me by Mr. Hosking. Two methods have been heretofore employed for rendering steam power available in transport upon railways ; one by causing a travelling or locomotive engine to move with the load which it draws, the other by constructing, at intervals of about a mile and a half, stationary steam engines, the power of which is transmitted to the load by a rope carried along the road upon rollers or sheaves placed between the rails. The train being attached to this rope is drawn by the power of the engines from station to station. The object of the Pneumatic Railway is to substitute for the rope a partially exhausted tun nel,—to employ the fixed steam engines to work air-pumps by which a rarefaction of the tunnel shall be maintained, and to cause the trains to be tracked upon the railway by connecting them with a diaphragm or piston placed in the interior of the tunnel so as to have that part of the tunnel in advance of the piston rarefied by the engines, while that part behind the piston is open to the atmosphere. An effective impelling power is thus obtained equivalent to the difference between the pressure of the atmosphere on one side of the diaphragm and of the rarefied air on the other. Of the practicability of this project I think there can be no doubt. The working of large air-pumps by an adequate moving power, and the rarefaction of air in tubes or tunnels by such means is not a new idea. It was suggested by Papin in the latter end of the seventeenth century, and was even pointed out by him as a means of transferring power to a dis tance, without the loss by friction and other causes consequent upon the use of ropes, or other ordinary means of transmitting force.---[Papin proposed to obtain an /dive force at one end of an extended tube by the application of water power at the other.] It is, in fact, a well-understood principle in physics that whatever moving force be expended in producing the rarefaction of air in a cylinder or tunnel, must necessarily be followed by a corresponding force on the other side of a dia phragm moving air-tight in that tunnel, and exposed to the free action of the atmospheric pressure. In the present case, supposing the structure of the valvular cord arid the pneumatic piston to be perfect, the opposite side of the diaphragm will always be pressed by an effective impelling force, the amount of which may be calculated upon these principles. It will of course be perceived that no original moving power is obtained from the tunnel, or from the rarefied air ; the rarefaction gives back the power expended by the stationary engines and nothing more ; and the tunnel must, therefore, be regarded merely as a substitute for the ropes in the common method of working railways by stationary engines. But it is evidently attended with several advantages in comparison with the latter. A very large proportion of the moving power of stationary en gines worked by ropes is intercepted by the resistance from the weight and friction of the ropes, sheaves, barrels, drums, &c. All such waste of power is removed by the Pneumatic Tunnel. The original expense of ropes, and their wear and tear, would be likewise saved. Some notion of the extent of this saving may be collected from the following facts :—when the Liver pool and Manchester Railway was about to be brought into operation, a question arose as to the expediency of working it by stationary engines, and estimates of the expense were made by competent engineers. The total amount of capital to be invested in moving power, was estimated at about 120,000/. ; of this above 25,0001. was devoted to ropes, sheaves, drums, and other necessary accompaniments. The total annual ex pense of maintaining the moving power was estimated at 42,0001., and of this about 18,0001. was appropriated to the wear and tear of ropes, sheaves, &c. &c. Thus it appears that the method of transmitting the power of the stationary engines to the trains by ropes would absorb about 20 per cent. of the invested capital, and their maintenance would consume about 43 per cent. of the annual expenditure. Another source of comparative economy would obviously be the diminished number of stationary engines. lii the estimate already referred to, it was calculated that the distance of 30 miles should be divided into 17 stations, with two 40-horse engines at each station; besides these, there would have been two engines at the bottom of each inclined plane, one at the tunnel, two at the top of the planes, and one at the Manchester end, making in all 42 stationary engines to work a line of 30 miles. Now, according to the estimate of the P a t en t ee o f th e Pneumatic ailway, from three to six stations would be suf ficient between Manchester and Liverpool, and the whole line would be worked by frcim six to twelve steam engines. Putting aside, therefore, the saving of power which would arise from the substitution of suction in the tunnel for ropes, and sup posing the amount of stationary power in both eases to be the same, it will be evident that a material saving would arise from the circumstance of that amount of power being derived from so much less a number of engines,—the number of en gine -men, assistants, &c., besides the interest on capital, being considerably less. Some notion of the economy of power likely to arise from superseding the use of ropes may be collected from the result of experiments made by Messrs. Stephenson and Locke on the resistance arising from the friction of ropes. They found that a load of 52 tons drawn by stationary engines worked by ropes through mile and half stages offered a total resistance amounting to 1,1561b5. ; of this 5821b5. arose from the fric tion of the load, and 5741b5. from the friction of the ropes. In the case of the Pneumatic Railway, the friction of the rope is replaced by the friction of the air-pumps and of the im pelling apparatus, and it will be evident that the latter, com pared with the former, must be almost insignificant. Hence the power wasted in its transmission from the stationary en gines to the load, which in one case amounts to 50 per cent. of the whole moving power of the engine, in the other is of comparatively trifling amount. Slopes on railways will always be objectionable whatever power be used; for even the most gentle ascent will increase the re sistance of the load in an enormous proportion. The difficulties, however, which they present are materially less when the line is worked by stationary than by locomotive engines, and would be still further diminished by superseding the rope ; the re sistance arising from the rope being always greater on inclined planes than on the level, owing to its increased thickness and consequent weight. A load which requires a 4i-inch rope for the level requires a si-inch rope upon a slope of 1 in 100. The weights of equal lengths of these ropes would be in the proportion of about 2 to 3, the slope requiring one-half more weight of rope than the level. Besides this, the moving power on a slope in addition to the ordinary fi iction which it has to overcome on the level, has likewise to draw up the weight of the rope,—a resistance which will be increased in proportion to the acclivity of the slope. The disadvantages produced by slopes when locomotive en gines are used are still more formidable. The same engine which is fitted to work upon the level is altogether inadequate for the slopes, the consequence of which is, either that the locomotive is strained beyond its power by working up the slopes, and rapidly destroyed, or that the engines must be more powerful than is requisite for the common level of the road, and thus power and expense wasted ; or finally that an auxiliary engine must be kept constantly ready at the foot of each slope with its fire lighted and its steam up ready to help up the trains as they arrive. Unless the trains be almost incessant (which even on the most frequented rail-road they never can be), this last expedient, which is the one adopted on the Man chester line, is attended with great waste of power and expense. Stationary engines worked on the pneumatic principle would effectually remove all these difficulties and objections. The weight of the trains which could be drawn upon the pneumatic railway, and the speed of the motion imparted to them, would entirely depend upon the power of the stationary engines. As the friction or other resistance does not increase with the velocity, the same absolute expenditure of power would draw the same load at whatever speed. The high speed attained by locomotive engines has been attended with great expense, but this has not arisen from the increased expendi ture of power. It has been caused by the wear of the engines themselves consequent on their rapid motion on the xead, and by the necessity of sustaining a fierce temperature in the fire place in order to be able within the small compass of these engines to generate steam with sufficient rapidity to attain the necessary rate of motion. As the magnitude of the stationary engines would not be limited, and as they would not be subject to the injurious effects of motion on the road, steam could be produced in sufficient quantity for the attainment of any re. quired speed without increasing its cost, or in any way impair ing the machinery. One of the obstacles to the attainment of great speed by stationary engines worked by ropes is the delay produced in transferring the trains from engine to engine, and from station to station. The momentum imparted to them is lost at each change, and these changes occur every mile and a half, so that the train has scarcely attained its requisite speed when its motion must again be checked in order to hand it over to another engine. This difficulty is removed by the pneumatic system; there being no rope to be detached and attached the engine passes on by its momentum from station to station, and a contrivance is provided by means of a valve at the stations by which it is brought under the operation of the next engine without stopping its motion. Althouglithedanger of accidents to passengers on the pre sent railways, worked by locomotive engines is considerably less than that of travelling by horse coaches on turnpike roads, yet serious accidents have occasionally occurred. These have generally arisen either from the locomotive engine run ning off the rails,—from one train running against another,-- from the locomotive engine breaking,—or finally from persons standing upon the rails being run down. In the pneumatic system there is almost a perfect security from these causes of danger. From the engines being stationary, and the tunnel rising between the wheels of the trains, it is evidently impos sible for the carriages to run off the road ;. and from the manner in which the system is worked it is impossible that one train can run against another. It happens also that the nature of the rails themselves, forming, as they do, merely ledges upon the sides of the tunnel, prevents the possibility of per sons standing between or upon them. In railways worked by stationary engines serious accidents have occasionally neenrr( , d by the ropes breaking while the train ltns been a,:ceciling a Jul,,. hi such cases the train has clowit by its weight with u frightful rapidity, producing the destruction of the carriages and the loss of life. It is evident It n this vsaonutracueeopfodsasnegs s e e r d is by remove s i y s t iy e int above road deserves to be particularly noticed. In the road the engines and carriages are kept upon the road by flanges or ledges raised upon the tires of the wheels, which press on the interior of th e ra il s. Every thing which' causes the carriages to press on the one side or the other causes these flanges to rub against the rails. When a curve or bend hap pens in the road, the carriages are guided by the pressure of one or the other flange on the side of the rail, which of course is accompanied by considerable friction. In the Pneumatic Railway there are no flanges, either on the wheels or rails ; the carriages are guided by wheels or rollers placed in a hori zontal position, and acting upon the external sides of the. channel which receives the valvular cord. By this means all resistance which arises from what is called rubbing friction is removed, and every surface which moves upon another moves upon it with a rolling motion. It is well known that notwithstanding the prosperous condi tion of the Manchester Rail-road Company, yet their expendi ture in locomotive power has been so enormous as to cause considerable anxiety on the part of the Managers, and some of them have even inclined to the opinion that the question of stationary power deserves to be re-considered. This opinion would probably be confirmed and strengthened, if the practi cability of the pneumatic system were satisfactorily demon strated by experiment upon a sufficiently large scale. On the whole, it appears to me, that if the mechanical diffi culties of maintaining the Pneumatic Tunnel sufficiently air tight be overcome, the system presents a fai r p rospect o f b e i ng practically successful. Theao difficulties are not so great as they may at first appear. It should be recollected that nothing approaching to the exhaustion of the tunnel can be necessary ; nor even any considerable degree of rarefaction. Supposing the tunnel to have an internal diameter of 40 inches, the im pelling diaphragm would have a surface of about nine square feet. If, in such a tunnel, a de7ree of rarefaction were pro duced sufficient to cause a barometric guage to fall two inches (which would be an extremely slight degree of rarefaction in deed), an impelling force would be obtained amounting to one pound on every square inch of the surface of the diaphragm, which would give an impelling force of more than half a ton. It is calculated that on the common Railways the amount of load is above 200 times the force of traction, and it would . therefore, follow that this force would be sufficient to draw a load of 100 tons. If an additional inch of mercury be made to fall in the barometric guage to balance friction, &c., still the rarefaction would be extremely inconsiderable, and the con trivances to prevent leakage would appear to be attended with no great mechanical difficulty. From the various reasons which I have above stated, I ant of opinion that the present project would, if carried into exe cution, be likely to be attended with greater economy and safety than other method of working Railways now practised ; and I see no reason against the attainment of as much speed as is ob tained by the Locomotive Engines. At all events, having explained the reasons on which I have grounded this opinion every one can judge to what weight it may be entitled. The project would appear to be well deserving of trial on some Rail-road of limited length, such as that between London Bridge and Greenwich, where it would be sufficient to have stationary engines at the extremities. In such a case I see scarcely any limit to the speed which might be attained with safety ; and the economy as compared with Locomotive Engines would probably be very great. DION. LARDNER. SPAIN.
