The instant the dial is broken and the handle pulled two semaphore arms falldown on the outside to indicate the carriage from which the alarm is given, and the act of the falling arms completes the electrical circuit, and rings a bell con tinuously and violently in the guard's van and on the engine simultaneously. Nothing can stop the ringing of this bell till the semaphore arms are raised, and no one can raise them so as to retain them upright but the guard. There is, therefore, no possibility that any one could raise an alarm undiscovered, nor that it could ever be raised by accident, as it requires two distinct and wilful acts to raise it—first that of breaking the glass and next that of pulling the ring. The glass is so thin that anyone, even a child, wish ing to do so, can easily break it, while the effort re quired to pull the ring is trifling. Of course, the guard has the same means of communicating with the driver, and the driver with the guard. In case of any of the couplings breaking the electrical com munication is also broken with it, and in the act of breaking liberates a detent, which, by completing the circuit of the electricity, gives just the same alarm to guard and driver as if raised by a passenger. The whole apparatus is one of the most simple and certain and least expensive of any of the many plans that have been put forward, and during the time it has recently been worked on the South -Western it har never failed once. It is intended to introduce it as soon as possible into use in all the main-line trains of the company, and from the high opinion expressed of the invention, not only by railway officials, but by engineers and electricians, there seems no doubt that if ever the difficult problem of railway passenger communication is solved, it will be by the apparatus of Mr. W. 11.

This Company was established last year and Guaran pose of extending the benefits of Life, tee bliShiess generally throughout Gre F at ir ß e litainj w ra o n r c l a, Europe, India, Colonies, and other parts of t and to offer greater facilities for effecting the same at such reasonable rates as experience has found to be safe_ and e practicable ; the Company having already done a large amount of business in this country, and established influ ential Boards in Paris, Florence, and the Mauritius, with a thousand active agents the France, they now come before the public for the further e pupose f stillextendingtheir o p erations at home and abroaod. 2. Life Assurance is the most beneficent institution ever established by luau, and is making great progress in this country, - while ou the Continent its great advantages are beginning to attract attention ; the present is, therefore, a Most favourable time for this Company to establish its business throughont Europe, and as its policies are indis putable, except for fraud, there is no doubt it will succeed. 3. The profits will be divided among the shareholders by paying 5 per cent. half yearly, all the profits of the general business yearly, and 20' per cent. of the life profits as a bonus every five years. This liberal division of profits will, it is believed, make the shares in the Company very valu able. 4. Fire Insurance —The question of the reduction of duty on fire policies having been settled by the House of tole. Common it is expected that Mr. Gladstone will reduce the duty impetus to this description of business, that the revenue will not suffer, while the benefit to this Company by the introductio Guaranteef new business will be immense. 5. .—A liberal and extended system of guaran tee has long been felt as a commercial necessity, which this Company proposes to supply, and by good management it will no doubt secure the support of the commercial world. 6. The influential Councils of Administration already established in Paris, Florence, and the Mauritius, with those now in course of formation in the chief States of Europe, will, it is believed, enable this Company not only to extend the business of Life and Fire Insurance, but also place it in a position to negotiate concessions of works of public utility, and to assist States and individuals in the development of their resources, by introducing sound and beneficial undertakings to capitalists and finance companies in this and other countries. 7. Part of the capital of this Company having been sub scribed last year the Directors commence business, and thus tested the year of support made from various quarters. The result was the receipt of 1,272 proposals, amounting to £1,034,431, Which they consider most satisfactory ; and having established various agencies and councils of ad ministration on the Continent, and having also received offers of business from other quarters, they now feel justi fied in offering the remaining shares to the public, as the present business will pay a fair rate of interest, while the have a right to expect will make the shares increase they a safe and valuable investment. 8. In the event of no allotment of shares being made the depo s it will be returned in full. Should a less number' of shares bo allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment duo on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned tolithteioapplocarnst-ha Prospectuses and Forms of App ca ni Brokers, a6nristo tee be made to the Solicitors, the Bankers, Manager, at the Offices of the Company, No. , ic ing William -street (opposite Eastcheap), London.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE RACES.-WEDNESDAY. A good deal of interest centred in the first ONentOf.to day, the meeting of Brahma and Thalassius in the Racing Stakes, tho former having defeated the latter yesterday in the Whittlebury by a head. To-day over a quarter of a mile further distance, and giving Lord Stamford's horse 101 b., the latter ran a very bad third, Brahma forcing the pace all the way, and leaving his rival, who is said to be a roarer, in trouble before they reached the distance. The Spencer Plate, the most objectionable of those half. mile races that we hope some day to remember only as things of the past, brought out, of course, the usual large field. Twenty-two horses of very average merit faced the starter, with a pretty tolerable certainty that 'whichever first got * on its logs and well away in front would be hailed the winner. The more than usual delay took place at the post—indeed, it exceeded all bounds on this occasion, one hour and twenty minutes being wasted before Mr. M'George could get the lot in order. Tho start was a fair one, Menace, Queen of Trumps, Paris, and Molly Carew show ing in front, and Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, who was first favourite, coming out at the half-distance, and winning with great ease. The Althorp Park Stakes generally shows us the best early form of some of the great stables, and there were ono or two very good-looking ones among the 16 runners. Mac donald, Master Archie, Janitor, and Gladiator were the pick, as far as looks wero concerned) And tb,p two first named were the favourites. Macdonald won with ease, but Master Archor did not show in the race. Two better days' racing worn never soon here ; the arrangements, save in the delay for the Spencer Plato, were admirably carried out, and, favoured with fine weather and au unprecedented attendance, the meeting has been entirely successful.

Exactly ono hour and 22 minutes elapsed before Mr. M'George could get them in anything like order, when, an opportunity presenting itself, they were despatched from the post in close company, but spread across the course. On settling into their places Mirlifter, next on the rails, in com pany with Queen of Trumps, Joss-stick, Molly Carew, the favourite, and Menace, were observed clear of their followers, who were headed by Exchequer, Imogene, Lady Hawthorn filly, Linda, and Swordsman, as they emerged from the hollow and came over the bill. Shortly after, Queen of Trumps, in centre, obtained a s li g h t l ead, and, with Mirli fio;Menaeei Molly Carew, and P ar i s came on in company to halfway n the distance, where Fordham brought up Paris, and in a few strides after headed the Queen of Trumps, and won with great ease by a couple of lengths ; the latter defeating Menace by three lengths; a similar distance separating the latter from Molly Carew, who was fourth, Imogene was fifth, Lady Hawthorn filly sixth, Linda seventh, Swordsman eighth, and Exchequer next. The others,who were widely spread, were whipped in by Tour terelle and Munchauson. A Selling Stakes of 5 sovstaehovith 50 added, for all ages. Six furlongs. 11 subs. Mr. F.

At the half-distance Gladiator dropped back, beaten, which for a few strides left Osiris in front, when he was headed by Macdonald, who came up on the right, and won very easily by three quarters of a length.

We have to record in the practice of yesterday—which, despite the unfavourable state of the weather, was wit nessed throughout by a large number of equestrians and others—two fine races, one between the Oxonians and a crew of picked London watermen, and the other between tho Cantabs and a fine crew of the Great Kingston Rowing Club, mainly composed of past University men of eminence. The first of these trials of skill and stamina took place at noon betweenthe Oxford and the best 8 London watermen selected for the occasion, the boats being manned as follows : OXFORD st lb 1. Mr. R. T. Raikes, Merton 11 0 2. Mr. P. Senhouse, Christ Church 11 1 3. Mr. E. F. Henley, Oriel ... 12 10 4. Mr. G. G. Coventry, Pembroke... ~. 11 10 5. Mr. A. Morrison, 8a11i01... ... 12 6 6. Mr. T.

Horace Cole, Chelsea 4. John Mackinney, Richmond 5. J. W. Tagg, East Moulsey 6. T. Hoare, Hammersmith 7. George Hammerton, Kingston 8. Henry Kelley, Putney. John Phelps, Fulham (cox.) The Oxonians left their boat-yard at 20 minutes past 11, and started straight up the river at a fine pace, doing 37 to 38 strokes per minute in a drizzlingrain, which increasedin intensity as they get to Mortlake. Contrary to usual prac tice, they did not leave their boat until they reached the Ship, shortly after which the watermen appeared coming through Barnes-bridge, rowing in such finished style as to induce the belief that they were quite fitted to hold their own against the Oxonians. After the gentlemen had taken some rest they got into their boat again, and turned her head down the river, but they had drifted some 50 or 60 yards below the Ship before the race commenced, owing to a desire on the, part of the watermen to forge ahead. At the actual moment of starting the watermen wore a few yards in front, and, although the gentlemen rowed at the topof their speed at 42 strokes per minute, the professionals gradually left them, had cleared themselves in about a quarter of a mile, and opposite the White Hart, Barnes, wore leading by half a clear length, the Oxonians having to row through a heavy wash, which watermen know so well how to throw up. The course taken by John Phelps, moreover, whose crew had started with the best station, was exceedingly good, while that of the Oxford coxswain was the reverse, and the watermen reached Barnes-bridge first by a length and a half. The time of the Oxonians was 2min. 45sec.—a splendid performance ; but it must be borne in mind that they rowed on a much better tide than that of Tuesday, and had a strong wind down the reach in their favour. After this performance the two crews paddled down a little distance, and then continued a series of races all the way to Putney, the watermen having generally rather the best of it. The Cantabs left Putney about three quarters of an hour after their opponents, and after a smart row up to the White Hart at Barnes turned and rowed through the bridge, and started down some few yards below it under the same favourable circumstances as the Oxonians, ex cept that the rain had very much increased, rowing 43 strokes per minute, which they continued for some consi derable distance, the pace upon the boat being very great, and the form improved. At Hammersmith-bridge, which was lined with spectators on horse and foot, a very fine crew of the Kingston Rowing Club were in waiting to give them a spin home to the aqueduct, the gentlemen man ning the Kingston eight being—Bow, F. Middleton ; 2, C. Cardale ; 3, C. C. Mowbray ; 4, F. Wade ; 5 , B. S e ymour ; 6, R. Shepherd ; 7, W. B. Woodgate ; stroke, W. Risley ; F. Walton (coxswain). Messrs. Risley, Woodgat e, and Shop herd rowed in the Oxford crew of former years. At the time they started the Kingston Club was some two lengths in advance, and before the Cantabs were well into theirstroke had added another to it. Beth caulo down at a flying pace past the Soap-works, where there was no diminution in the lead of the Kingston gentlemen ; but from this point the superior condition of theCantabsbegan to tell, and they gradually gained upon theiruntmined opponents, who were barely enabled to reach Putney-bridge a length in, advance. There are few subjects which of late have excited more interest or attracted a larger share of public attention than the completion of some one of the various plans which have been invented for effecting a safe and certain means of communication between the passengers and guards and drivers of railway trains. There is no doubt that the public were first aroused to insist on some solution of this most diffi cult question by the murder of Mr. Briggs at Hack ney, though the purely exceptional nature of that crime, the detection and punishment which over took its perpetrator, and partly the gradual con sciousness which was evinced that scarcely any amount of communication with the guard would suffice to save a traveller from one really bent on assassination, soon caused the feeling to die away. It has lately, however, been revived on far more ra tional grounds than the first panic which gave rise to it last summer. Since then tires have come off wheels, axles, have broken, carriages caught fire or run off the line, and it is rare now to find a week passing without accounts in our columns of fearful peril undergone by passengers who were bumped and dragged along in a carriage off the line or with a broken axle, powerless to avert the dreadful fate whiCh impended over them every second, and from which nothing but what may be almost termed a providential interference has saved them. In but too many cases of railway accidents that have ter minated with such fatal results it is well known that all danger could have been easily avoided had the passengers only possessed some means of communi cating with either guard or driver. It is only of these latter disasters that the public are certain to hear, for not one half of those which terminate with dreadful frights and severe bruises to travellers are made public. The demand for some means of con trolling the progress of the train on the part of the passengers has, however, become so urgent and per sistent that the whole question has lately been re ferred to a Committee of the Railway. Clearing house, where the various chief managers of the me tropolitan railways under the able presidency of Mr. Forbes, of the London, Chatham, and Dover have had to inquire into and report upon the enor mous number of designs, inventions, and proposi tions for easily effecting this much-to-be-desired means of communication. The very onerous duties of the committee in this respect were fortunately lightened by the fact that out of upwards of 200 plans proposed only two or three were really worth considering at all. The report of this committee has not yet been made public, though it is generally known that it will in effect be against any of the plans proposed—that it will request the Board of Trade to take the onus of preparing any plan, and also to assume the responsibility of the safe working of the various lines when they have put it into the power of passengers to stop trains on the line at will. This will, of course, be a very unsatisfactory conclu-' sion for the public, though the arguments by which the railway managers can support this decision are entitled to every weight and grave consideration. First, they can point to the fact that in proportion to the numbers carried and the high speed of tra velling—which latter is, of course, a most serious element of danger—the number of passengers killed on English railways are almost lower than the num bers killed on any other railway system in the world while the loss of life among guards and railway offi cials is in England not more than half of what is caused on continental lines, from the enforced rule of the guards having to pass from carriage to car riage while the train is in motion to collect tickets, &c. There is, however, no choice in this country as to whether the passengers' signal is to stop the train or to bring the guard to the carriage, for the latter result is impossible on English lines, where the sides of tunnels and the constantly occurring abutments of bridges come so close to the carriages as to leave no room for the guard to pass, and almost certain death would result to any attempting it. Nothing therefore remains but to give passengers the power of stopping trains at once, and this is one which the managers consider would be fraught with con stant and terrible danger to the public on the short metropolitan lines, where the stoppages are constant and the trains succeed each other at intervals of lit tle more than three minutes. Yet it was on a line of this kind, and worked under these conditions, that the murder of Mr. Briggs was committed, just as the external facilities afforded on the French line to enable the guard to enter any of the carriages while in motion gave easy means of access to the mur derer of the French judge and equally easy and certain means of escape. To speak plainly, how ever, perhaps too much excitement and too much alarm have been caused by the murder of Mr. Briggs. No one ever enters a railway carriage with the same confident expectation that he will be as safe there as in his bed, yet scores of people have been mur dered in their beds without causing a tithe of the sensation that was awakened by the murder of Mr. Briggs--a sensation due probably more to the novelty of the crime and its mysterious discovery than to the mere crime itself. Certain it is that there is no signal yet devised by engineers or electricians which would be quite enough to prevent those bent on effecting murder from committing it before assist ance could come, even supposing the victim was so little taken by surprise as to be able to sound the signal before he was injured. It is not, however, with a view to the prevention of the most rare crime of murder or attempts at murder that it is sought to have communications established between passen gers, guard, and driver. The number of these crimes is so small as to be scarcely worth considering. It is to prevent danger from the constantly-recurring accidents caused by broken tires and axles, car riages on fire or off the line, that the signals are really designed. The value of such an invention applied to carriages of main line trains on long and rapid journeys is not likely to be ignored by the report of the Clearing-house Committee, though it is not improbable but that it will point to the diffi culties, the almost insuperable difficulties, of work ing extensive rolling stock between distant places, and to the almost certainty of carriages not fitted with a continuation of the signalling apparatus getting put into long trains, and so rendering the signals from all the rest of the train worthless. To fit all carriages is, as we have said, objected to ; and it is asked, what would be likely to be the result if the trains so fitted were used on the great popular fete days at the Crystal Palace, where the trains, full of " excited " holiday makers, are running at two or three minutes' intervals up to 1 in the morning, if it were left to any carriage to stop the train in the middletd of passenger th m o any area solution u g m t o i o o b n d e speed after it. when two or three were coming at f It must be admitted,ththeewr.eafbyoercos,oftlavhedaptrtaahctetreiacllaa:l e ina c a r d e:ta lt ble energy and enterprise n m o l f a a t i ll his n Y : i q d ffi u u es c e lil t t i o o ti n 'e ti s i ; with which the South-Western Company have come forward in the matter, and to the skill and ingenuity e mployed by their electrical superintendent, Mr. W. Preece. The invention of Mr. Preece is that which has been most favourably thought of by the Clearing-house Committee, and it is also, we believe, most strongly approved by the Government In spector, Captain Tyler. The whole apparatus is simple in the extreme, and consists merely of a strong clever adaptation of that power of the future, electricity, to enable every passenger in every com partment to communicate with both guard and driver. The machinery consists of a small six-cell sulphate of mercury battery (a French discovery), and a battery not liable to get out of order, and which can work without change or supervision for 12 months at a time. This battery is connected by common insulated wires passing under each side of. Almost at the same moment that Lord Palmer ston was paying a tribute of respect in the House of Commons to the memory of the late Mr. Cobden the Vice-President of the French Council of State, M. de Forcade la Roquette, while speaking upon the corn laws in France, concluded as follows. We quote from the Moniteur : • " Gentlemen,—ln this discussion upon the corn laws the name of Sir Robert Peel has been mentioned ; but, to be just, it must not be forgotten that that great statesman was inspired in his glorious undertaking by a man who has be come celebrated—Richard Cobden. This morning's mail from England has brought the news of his death. (General movement of regret.) Ido not think I am out of place in a discussion upon the corn laws and the Treaty of Com merce in rendering a public homage to an illustrious stranger. (Loud cheers.) "M. Gamier-Pages—Tres Lien ! Tres bien "M. Auguste Chevalier—We all join in the expression of regret. (Yes, yes ! from the other members.) "Since Fox .(continued M. de Forcade La Roquette) no statesman in England has shown a more sincere and cordial affection to France. (Applause.) He exerted all his energies to set aside the dissensions and jealousies which for so long a period separated the two countries; ho did all he could to strengthen the alliance between Franco and England, an alliance rich in its results, and so necessary to the progress of the civilisation of the world. (Loud ap plause.) "M. Gamier-Pages—Yes it is true. Tres Bien. " His death (continued M. do Forcado La Roquette) is not a 'calamity for England alone, but also for France, which deeply regrets his loss, and joins in the universal regret which it has occasioned. (' Yes, yes!' from every part of the:House). " M. Glais Bizoin.—Yes, let England know that our re• grets are unanimous. (Cheers and loud applause.) The House then adjourned." The following notice appeared in the Cloak-room of the House of Commons : "The funeral of Mr. Cobden will take place at Laving ton-Q-hurch, Midhurst, cm - Friday nest, .the 7th inst., at 1. p.m. For the convenience of those who may be desirous of attending, a special train will leave the Waterloo station at 9.40 a.m., and return to London at 3.45 p.m. Tickets can be obtained by application to the Secretary of the South- Western Railway, Waterloo station." Yesterday morning at a meeting of the city coun cil, at Manchester, the mayor (Mr. Bennett) asked for a suspension of business in order that they might pay a tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Cobden. Ile then moved :—" That the council has heard with deep and unfeigned grief of the sudden and unex pected death of Mr. Richard Cobden, M.P. While fully sympathising in the regret universally felt by the nation for the loss of one of its most distin guished statesmen, by whose exertions inestimable and enduring benefits have been rendered to his country, this council feel called upon in an esp ec i a l manner, to record their grateful recollection of the many important advantages conferred upon the city by the late Mr. Cobden, who it will ever be their pride to remember as one to whom this city is largely indebted for obtaining the grant, and subsequently securing the establishment, of the charter of incor poration ; and as an active and influential member of the first elected council. That this council desire to offer to Mrs. Cobden and the members of her family the respectful assurance of sincere condolence and heartfelt sympathy in their deep affliction." Sir E. AR3IITAGE seconded the motion, and, after observations from Mr. Romney, Mr. Heywood, and Mr. Goadsby, in the course of which it was sug gested that, as far as convenient, business should be suspended and shops and warehouses closed on the day of Mr. Cobden's funeral, the resolution passed unanimously. It was subsequently arranged that:the Mayor, the ex-Mayor, and Sir E. Armitage attend the funeral on behalf of the corporation. The Salford Corporation have arranged that the Mayor and ex-Mayor of that borough should repre sent it at the funeral. At a meeting of the Manches ter Chamber of Commerce yesterday a resolution of similar purport to that agreed upon by the cor poration was adopted, and Mr. Malcolm ROSS, presi dent, Mr. John Holliday, vice-president, and Mr. Fleming, secretary, were requested to attend the funeral on behalf of the Chamber. We take the following particulars respecting the early days of the deceased statesman from the Man chester Courier : " Mr. Cobden began life as a lad in a Lo n d on warehouse. Growing into a young man he was se n t on matters of business to many of the houses with him that he and two of d s sO u. s me hade w hich his firm was con nected . Among those he so v i s ited was Mr. John Lewis, of 101, Oxford-street. Mr. Lewis conceived a liking fo r th e young man on e which whatever io're h accou nt of theed to to come smar c dtaon,dtza his us or business-like theon manner in and transact kind w gave him a few hesitationOaeday yo un g told and Cobden came to him, with comrades, young me n lik e hi mse lf, h a d h ear d o f a business his near Manchester, which a gentleman was retiring from, and the plant of which was to be had for £1,500 ; thi s sum th e th ree h a d agree d t o ra i se among them, but Cobden had no friends to help him. with his quota, and therefore he ventured to ask Mr. Lewis if he would do so. Mr. Lewis, from his par tiality to him, at once assented ; and Cobdenleft him in high spirit. But soon after he called again, with a long face, to say his colleagues had not been able to raise their £5OO each. After a while, however, ho came again to state that the owner of the business in question, having heard favourably of the trio, agreed to let them have it for Cobden's £5OO. Would Mr. Lewis still let him have the money ? Mr. Lewis very kindly complied, and the three shortly after began the world together. The £5OO was speedily repaid ; and, after a very few years, one and then another of the partners drew out of the business with a handsome fortune, and Richard Cobden came to be what he was. The foregoing particulars were related to the writer by Mr. Lew is, who re tired from business about 25 years ago, and subsequently di e d in Madeira." EARTHQUAKE IN CORFU.—It is reported from Malta that shocks of earthquake have been lately felt at Corfu. It is said that a mountain near Arta has thrown out smoke and flame. It is also reported that a village in tho neighbourhood has been destroyed, with two or three hun &l'd of its inhabitants. 1....,,
