To have a terminus under their own control in London is the object of all the great, railway companies, whether they have been originally projected with one end of their lines in the metropolis, or whether they were at first local lines'around which now schemes have, accidentally or in the nature of the thing, grouped themselves. The Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Railway sprang out of the com paratively insignificant East Kent lino ; the Midland Com pany has by degrees extended its iron roads until now that it has fairly opened the first department of its London ter minus. On Monday last it took possession of a very large area beyond St. Pancras old church, and close by the side of the Regent's Canal. Its passenger station for the me tropolis will be in the Euston-road, to the west of the King's-cross Station, and taking in, we believe, the site now occupied by a church about two years ago consecrated by the Bishop of London. The St. Pancras Station is merely for goods, produce, and coals; and as all the latest improvements have been adopted in its construction a few lines may well be devoted to a description of it. It stands on tolerably high ground, which rises from King's-cross, and though the approaches are by no means in a state fit for such heavy traffic as is now carried along the adjacent thoroughfares, yet is the station in full work. No doubt the adjoining property.will seon".rise in - character, and no doubt also the railway company will • before long enclose their premises more satisfactorily than at present. These are little defects incidental to the first occupation of new preMises anywheie. 14ptoorithin the gates the officials have already reduced everything to comparative order. 'A large traffic in coal brought from the Derbyshire and the Yorkshire fields is now being carried on, and if it is considered how much confusion is inevitable in a change,from nearly temporary to permanent pre mises the wonder will be found to be not that there are still a few things to set in order, but' that se much should already have been done. The goods shed is more than 300 feet long, andin width sufficient to allow 12 lines of rails, beside railways for loading. On either side is a com modious platform some 30 feet wide, and overhead is an im mense wool warehouse. The walls of the shed are of bright red brick, but in the interior wrought iron has been chiefly employed in the construction. Pillars and girders, beams and braces, are all iron, the use of which has enabled the architect to give alight and not ungraceful appearance to the structure. According to Mr. Ruskin's dictum that art is out of place in a railway station—a dictum doubtful in it self, but admissible, perhaps, with reference to a goods sta tion—there has been no attempt at ornamentation ; and whatever may be the architectural merit of the Midland goods terminus, that merit is due entirely to the material and in no way to design as such. The object kept in view has been that of utility and fitness for the purpose, and it is not always that we are able to commend an architect for this, which should be one of his primary canons, if not ab solutely the first of his rules. The cranes, which are also of wrought iron, possessing strength without cumbersome ness, are worked by hydraulic machinery, and even the waggons are drawn in and out of the shed, or moved on a PORTSMOUTH, Saturday. _ _ _ At the Borough Quarter Sessions, this day, before J. D. Coleridge, Q.C., Recorder, Mary Ann Flucks, 27, was in dicted for feloniously taking away by fraud a female child named Emily Eleanor Turton, of the age of 27 days, with intent to deprive Hannah Turton, its mother, of the po.- session of the said child, on the 7th of November; and Sarah Fry, 52, her mother, was charged with aiding and abetting in the commission of the offence. Mr. Poulden prosecuted, and the prisoners were unde fended. (From the Richmond Eiaminer.)

The army in Tennessee has been terribly misused and has suffered awful injury, but it is not lost, and may be restored to full efficiency by the same hand which redeemed it after Missionary Ridge. But to change the fortune of the country, the executive and legis lature must change their character, and abandon the road to ruin hitherto systematically pursued by both. The opening of the campaign found our two best men in real command and in the two principal posi tions—Lee in Virginia, Johnston in Georgia. The military condition of this country was never so pros perous as it was at midsummer, for these two men had so done their work that it was then morally certain that the last supreme effort of the enemy was going to fail, and had it failed it is impossible to doubt that this year would have been the last year of the war. The unexpected and inconsequent freak of the executive, and the removal of Johnston, per mitted in silence by the country, has produced fruits such as inconsequent folly and subserviency never before produced... Although great evils mielitthave_ been, and weiv, apprehended at'the time, the results have so much surpassed expectation that they as sumed the appearance of a judgment: But let the past go. The best remedy for present evil is sim ply to stop the courses which have caused them. Let the executive cease to interfere with the armies ; send Johnston to the wreck of that army which he surrendered to Hood in such magnificent con dition ; give him carte blanche to do what he thinks proper for its salvation, and for the defence of the country, and' a guarantee that neither his commission nor his plans will be any more meddled with ; give to Beatirpgard complete discretion of action on the coast ; leave to Lee his whole army and full powers in Virginia, and prosperity will return, good fortune will again beta the army of the South, and the great dangers which now menace the Confederacy will vanish like the clouds a the last rain. But good sense, modesty, and juitice w ill never actuate the executive while congress abdicates its functions and public opinion its rights. Nations will suffer just punishment whenever they entrust power to puny hands, puff up the conceit and en courage the passions of their rulers, by fulsome flattery or silent submission. We have done so. The follies of the Government are manifest to all ; but if anyone who pay their cost proposes opposition or even a remonstrance, the amiable majority cry " Hush !" " Oh, hush, we can't get rid of him ; and he will do thus and do all the more if he is opposed. Don't say anything. We must have concord-- unanimity—and there must be no opposition to Government."

The circumstances of the caSe were of a most extraordi- I nary character, and the greatest interest was, manifested, the court being densely crowded. The evidence was very voluminous, but the facts may be briefly stated. The prosecntrix, a single woman, was con fined of a female child at the Portsea Island Workhouse on the 11th of October. On the 4th of November the prisoner Flucks called at the union and was introduced to theprose cutrix, whom she told that her mistress required a wet nurse, and would give 151. a-year and what was required for the baby. Prosecutrix accepted those terms, and it was ar ranged that Flucks should call for her at the union on the following Monday afternoon, She, however, called on the Saturday, and stated that she had come to alter the arrange ment, as her mistress had received a telegram—she there fore wished to know if she would go - to London and leave her child at Southsea. Prosecutrix assented to this arrangement, and it was fixedthat she should leave for London on Monday morning, theprisoner telling her shewas to pack up her clothes to take to Salisbury. Flucks accordingly called at ttse union on Monday morning, and prosecutrix and her baby went with her in a cab to the railway station. Prisoner paid the fare, and told prosecutrix she would go to " Lady Creamer's," at Peckham House, about five o'clock, ready for tea. She added that the .'servants, wearing gold - lace, would be waiting at the Waterloo station with the carriage for her. On her arrival she failed to discover either ser vants with gold lace or the carriage, and, taking a cab, she proceeded to Peckham House, which she found to be a lunatic asylum. She went to a magistrate, and the workhouse authorities at Portsmouth being communicated with, prose cutrix was sent back to the union. Nothing was heard of the prisoner or the baby until the 24th of November, when the prosecutrix went with Sergeant Poole, of the Ports mouth police, to Cambridge House, East Cowes, and found the prisoner Flucks in bed with the baby. Fry told Poole that she was present at her daughter's confinement, but afterwards said, "I will tell you the truth ; my daughter went away on Thursday, and brought the child back on Monday." Mr. Julian Slight, the surgeon of the Portsmouth borough gaol, distinctly proved that the prisoner Flucks had never had a child at all. When the prisoners were called upon for their defence, Flucks asserted"that it was her child, and said it was hard to give it up into the hands of a single woman, more espe cially when they daily and hourly heard of women de stroying their infants. (A laugh.) The Recorder having briefly summed up, The Jury found both prisoners Guilty. The Recorder, in passing sentence, told the prisoner Flucks that she had been found guilty of a cruel act, as far as the woman Turton was concerned, and the sentence of the Court was, that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months. Addressing the other prisoner, the Recorder said she had undoubtedly had a very strong temptation to do what she had done, in endeavour ing to screen her daughter from the punishment which was certain to follow her, and the sentence upon her was that she be imprisoned for three calendar months. On being removed from the dock the' prisoner Flucks burst out crying, and said, " I shall see my child again, I At all Libraries and Booksellers, in crown Bvo., with Port rAt, 65., WollflthOleltSrrinoefesHofEFNoßinloEeTTx.BA;nCedAielltinAeCNuC , Nun. • Trans ated from the Italian.

Railways and the Electric Telegraph, (From the Railway New.c.) The accident which a short time since occurred in 'the Blackheath Tunnel of the North Kent line has very natu rally directed an increased amountef attention to theem ployment of electricity for the purpose of train signalling. Notwithstanding this very painful occurrence, there is nothing in the circumstances which caused it that should shake public confidence in the efficiency of the electric tele graph for the working of railways. There is no agent that can be made use of which is more speedy in its action and more certain in its results than electricity, and these are two essential qualities requfred in the transmission of sig nals. If we could always ensure flue and clear weather — if the railways always ran in straight lines—if there were neither embankments, nor cuttings, nor curves, nor tun nels, the old semaphore telegraph, which in days gone by waved its arms wildly to and fro, kom ono beacon hill to another, would be quite sufficient for railway signalling. In like manner, if mechanical arrangements could be made by which the signals of one station could be worked from the next one, or the distance between auxiliary and sta tion signals could be increased without risk of failure, then managers of railways might trust to contrivances of this nature for the safe working of railways. Unfortunately, neither of these systems can be implicitly relied on, and something more is needed for the safe running of the numerous trains of different speeds and loads which are continually travelling to and fro upon our railroads. Elec tricity has now been tested for a long period upon our leading railways, and the unfortunate accident to which we have referred cannot be laid at the door of this faithful ser vant. The telegraph wire carried its message from station to station with its usual unerring accuracy, and the fault lay with the human agent who sent, and not the subtle fluid that bore, the fatal message " all clear." If any per son will glance through the reports of the railway inspec tors of the Board of Trade upon the accidents which have taken place during the last year, they will see how, in the majority of cases, accidents are traceable in the opinion of the reporting officers to the want of telegra phic communication. The reports of Col. Yolland, Capt. Tyler, and Capt. Rich, all tell the same story. The acci dents which occur are due in a far less proportion to me chanical defects in the rolling stock or permanent way than to imperfect signalling. Of the 15 accidents which were recently reported upon in the three months ending June— these being summer months—not less than eight were dis tinctly traceable to defective signalling, and in almost every case the use of the electric telegraph was recom mended by the Government inspector. Cel. Yolland, on his report on the Egham accident, said—" Theintroduction electric telegraph produces ready means of keeping mace , between following trains. No train ' leave a station until the station in that the line up to that sta te it. The electric of tut, an interval of ... should be permitted to advance has telegraphed back tion was clear for ft train to travel up telegraph supplies an addition to the ordim...., out-of-door signals for securing public safety. Ant. 4 difference between the two systems of working by keeping a space between following trains, or by allowing them to travel at an interval of time from each other, is that, when both aro rigidly and faithfully carried out, a collision be tween following trains is impossible when an interval of space is maintained between them, but a collision may and often does happen when the traffic is worked by an interval of time only." Col. Yollandgoes on to add these observa tions, which we have reason to believe have not been with out effect upon some leading members of the Government— "lf railway companies cannot be induced voluntarily to alter their system and to introduce those improvements which science has placed within their reach, then the Le gislature should interfere and compel them to do so. Hence, among other sources, has arisen the report referred to last week, of the intention to appoint a select committee to inquire into the wholes übject of the working and ma nagement of the railwayof the'United Kingdom. The accident at Blackheath has occurred as if to show that no amount of precaution which can be taken will prevent the occurrence of casualties upon railways. The North Kent, as indeed the whole of the South-Eastern system, is worked upon the plan thus strongly recommended by Colonel Yolland, and the adoption of which he would make compulsory by Government upon all railway com panies. It is certain that electricity must in future be much more extensively engaged than hitherto upon the railways, and, if does not provide a perfect guarantee against accidents on railways, it is at all events the most efficient agent which can be employed in their prevention. This child, so mysterious in its origin, in its nature, and in its action, and as yet but an infant in years, now offers its pro tection to those to whom it lies - under so many and such deep obligations. Electricity asks only of men of science that they will provide the means by which it can make itself more extensively useful in connection with the rail road system. Much has been done in this respect; much yet remains to be accomplished ; and we shall hear with satisfaction of any improvements made in the application of electric telegraphy to the conduct of the immense and growing railway traffic of the country. ^n , means of 1 the 1. he Home for Illegitimate Children. On Saturday afternoon an important investigation involv ing the management of an institution of which the. Marquis Townshend and other benevolent persons are the patrons established for the nursing and care of illegitimate children, at No. 35, Great Coram-street, Russell-square, under the title of the "Infant Home," took place before Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central Middlesex, at the Guildford Arms, Guildford-street. The inquest was held on the body Charles Webster, aged eight weeks, the offspring of a young woman, a servant, Which had died suddenly in the institu tion. The mother of the deceased was present. The Coroner reinarked: that from circilmstances whidh had come to his knowledge in connection with the extraordinary mortality which had occurred in the "Home," being from a report he had received '5O per cent:, or 85 . 0ut of 70, he thought it highly desirable, both for the sake of the insti tution as well as the satisfaction of the public, that in this instance a rigid inqUiry should take place. Mr. N. 11. Stevens, of 14, Finsbury-crescent, honorary surgeon to the institution, stated its character and objects, whichwas to help those - OM by treachery had been betrayed into the misfortune of being mothers of illegitimate children, and who are anxious to recover themselves to re enter service, by receiving and nursing their children, so as to enable them to regain their character by removing the obstacle out of their path, and making a return to reputa- tion, self-respect, and usefulness possible. For this purpose the Home, which was a branch of the " Infants' Home," in Bryanston-place, Bryanston-square, had been established and illegitimate children were received, nursed, and cared for upon certain conditions and guarantees at a nominal charge of 2s. per week. The deceased was one of these little un fortunates, whose mother had been seduced under very heartless circumstances, and on its admission some few weeks back was in good health. It took cold, and bron chitis supervened, and during the early part of last week it died very suddenly. A post-mortem examination in dicated that it had died from the disease named, and it was stated that it was common in infants to do so from its effects. In reply to the 'question as to the large mortality, Dr. Stevens explained that, being the offspring of vice, the great majority of the children were admitted in a half nourished and most emaciated condition, and frequently died two or three days after their admission. After they had been in the institution for some little time improvement was, however, very great, and the health of the children on the whole was perfectly satisfactory. Such diseases as had attacked the children had arisen purely from a constitutional susceptibility ; but the health of the majority had been considerably and undoubtedly improved by 'their residence in the Home. After hearing other evidence as to the care and attention with which the unfortunate children were treated, The Coroner remarked that it was a gratifying fact to find that so far from any blame attaching to the institution, it was just the opposite. He viewed the establishment of such an institution as a step in the right direction. It was sadly to be feared that the crime of infanticide, now so shockingly prevalent, might be traced in a great measure to the straits and dreadful desperation to which poor young persons were frequently reduced, and that too often, in the first instance, the murder of their offspring was the consequence, and then in the failure of any other means of subsistence they were tempted to betake themselves to a life of sin and shame. Such an institution was, therefore, most praiseworthy, and as to the mortality, no doubt it arose from the circumstances so fully explained by the medical officer. The jury fully concurred in the views of the coroner, and a verdict of " Died from natural causes" was recorded.

A BALLET GIRL FRIGIITFULL; BURNT.— Another of these lamentable acciden ts, wiili un happily have been of too frequent occurrence, took piZo on Friday night at the Britannia Theatre, whereby a young woman, a ballet dancer, has sustained very serious injuries. The unfortunate girl, whose name is Ellen Geary, was en gaged as one of the comps de ballet. Her services were first called into requisition in the transformation scene of the pantomime, which comes on about nine o'clock. In order to give effect to this change it is necessary that the corps occupy different positions on the - stage—some on an emi nence at the side of the wings, and others on the stage. Geary's position was one of those at the wings, to reach which she was in the habit of ascending a wooden ladder placed somewhat closely to the wing lights, in conse quence of which the manager, who it is evident took some precaution against a contingency such as that just hap pened, placed a man at the foot of the ladder to guard the dresses of and to assist the ballet g irls in their ascent. I The girl, it appears, was behind time in going from the dressing room, in consequence of which the man, who bad previously been at his post, ventured to go away for a few minutes, in which interval Geary arrived, and without waiting for the return of the man, at once ascended the ladder, and while doing so, the back part of her skirt caught. She instantly discovered the fact, and, with great prese nce of mind, flung berself upon her face. A wet blanket, which is always kept in readiness at the prompter's door, was thrown over This , as well as a bed, which is used in one of the scenes. at once extinguished the flames, but, notwithstanding, the d girl was frightfully burnt up to the shoulders. Dr. her re- Lennar was in immediate attendance, and re co mraended moval to St. 13artholoram'o Hospital. heard at all is the voice of flatterers—the voice of those who have neither head nor heart, neither knowledge nor principle. Hence the executive is encouraged to pursue its fancies ; and although every military misfortune of this country is palpably and confessedly due to the personal interference of Mr. Davis, the legislature continues at each session to be his subservient tool, and to furnish new incentives to perversity, new means of mischief. It will not be sufficient for the executive to have lucid intervals. Congress and the Southern public must change their attitude, adopt a more distinct and manly tone, deal with their own affairs with more resolution, keep the executive in the path of duty, and curb it with a peremptory hand when it interferes with things beyond its capacity. Great adversity has fallen upon us ; but the power of the Southern States is not broken. The resources are enormous, and on no side is the breach irreparable. Of all external dangers, there is not one that cannot be successfully met. But a greater danger is within ; 'oily vested with licenses, and flattery to encourage folly. No calamity which has happened ,is in itself ruinous ; but what will ruin us is—that the Govern- went should go on to do, and continue to do, the identical acts which have made calamity by the necessary sequence of cause and effect. The more harmony and the more concord, and the more self-abnegation we do evince under such circum stances, the more rapid is our progress to destruc tion. Let us determine that the course of the ship shall be altered ; with that determination will be found the means to compel the change. The Loss of the Jura. The.inquiry was resumed and concluded on Sa turday, before Mr. T. S. Raffles, legal assessor, and Captains Baker and Harris, nautical assessors. Mr Henry Bremner, solicitor, addressed the court on behalf of the pilot, Mr. Win. Parry. He said that although the court did not possess any direct jurisdiction over the pilot, yet the decision of the pilotage committee would be materially affected by the report the court might think it right to make. On behalf of the pilot he adopted the full responsi bility of being in charge of the vessel from the time she passed the Calf of Man ; and he would not in any way attempt to throw blame upon the captain. Still he would not pretend to say that the fact of - - ,he pilot being in charge would exonerate the cap• taro, if he saw the pilot doing anything wrong and neglected to interfere. After reviewing the evidence given before the court, he submitted that no neglect of duty, bad seamanship, or care lessness on the part of the pilot had been shown, and that the accident had resulted from an error of judgment, aggravated by the circumstance that the ship was at the time going slowly, and therefore did not answer her helm so rapidly as if her speed had been greater. He showed that during a long life Mr. Parry's conduct hid been uniformly commend able, and urged that such a man should not be harshly dealt with for an error of judgment. In conclusion, he laid before the court a large number of testimonials from captains of steam and sailing ships, including one from Admiral Dacres, the ad miral of the Channel Fleet (which fleet Mr. Parry piloted out of the River Mersey), testifying to the care and skill which his client had exhibited as a pilot during many years, often under difficult cir cumstances. Mr. Squarey declined to address the court in reply. After an adjournment for three hours the court re-assembled, and the assessors delivered the fol lowing judgment :—" In this case, the Jura having been in charge of a duly licensed pilot, and the master having been at his post, and having had all hands on deck and every man at his station, he must be relieved from all responsibility for the loss of leis ship. The court has, therefore, great satis faction in restoring his certificate. The court has no jmisdiction over the pilot ; but it may be satisfac tory to him to know that, after mature considera tion, the court has arrived at the conclusion thatthee the loss of the ship resulted , u p on the whole, r ae from an error of judgment thanfromwillnfeuiglliy gence.

R a ges said the Dock Board would no doubt take this into consideration if a report was made to them. It was afterwards stated that it was no unfrequent thing for ships to get on the sand at the point where the Jura was wrecked, and Captain Baker said there ought to a floating light there. On Saturday Dr. Frankland concluded his short course of lectures "On the Chemistry of Coal." Hay ing in the preceding lectures considered the origin and elementary constituents of coal, how coal was put together by nature, and how it is taken asunder for the production of heat and light, the concluding lecture was devoted to the explanation of the manner in which the products of combustion are converted into valuable materials for brilliant illumination and for dyeing. In the first place, however, Dr. Frank. land exhibited the action of Lerroir's gas engine, the principle of which he explained in a previous lecture. The gas that supplies the institution Aas conveyed to the engine by an elastic tube, and after the fly wheel had been started, the engine, which was equal to 1 horse-power, continued working with greater or less speed, according to the quantity of gas supplied. The engine is entirely self-acting, for the mechanism openr the valves to admit the gas and air into the cylinder, and makes connection with the electrical apparatus that explodes the mixture. Having shown this novel practical application of the explo sive force of coal gas, Dr. Frankland proceeded to explain the manner in which paraffin oil and paraffin candles are extracted from coal tar, and the beautiful colours called magenta and mauve are pro duced from that disagreeable-looking and offensively odorous substance. The accumulation of the tar in gasworks was formerly a great nuisance, as there was no known available mode of making use of it, but it is now considered so valuable that coal is often distilled at a low heat for the purpose of producing it, the gas being thrown away. From coal tar che- mists have separated no fewer than 50 compounds, of which 3 have been rendered principally useful for dyeing, viz., benzole, phenylic alcohol, and analine. For the production of colours benzole must be con verted into analine, which change is effected by heating it first with nitric acid, and then with acetic acid and scraps of iron. The colour mauve is produced by heating analine with bichromate of potass and sulphu ric acid ; and magenta is obtained by heating analine with arsenic acid ; blue and violet are produced by heating magenta with analine.l Dr. Frankland pro duced a trayful of glasses, in which were placed small invisible particles of differently prepared sub stances from coal tar, and on pouring into the dif ferent glasses phenylic alcohol they were filled with fluids of various colours, all poured from the same bottle. The following was given as a brief statistical statement of the quantity of dye obtainable from coal—Thirty hundredweights of coal yield 3601 b. of tar, which furnish 181 b. of naphtha, containing 61b. of benzole, and the latter yields 51b. of analine, which produce lib. of magenta. One pound of ma genta will dye 6501 b. of silk, or 9001 b. of wool, the latter quantity being the average produce of 160 sheep. Dr. Frankland showed the process of dyeing cotton, silk, and wool different colour* and he ex hibited several other experiments to illustrate the remarkable properties of the substances extracted from what had, until recently, been considered waste products in the manufacture of gas. At the conclusion of the lecture he was loudly applauded. The attendance during every lecture of the course was more numerous than usual, and, though the lectures were professedly addressed to a juvenile audience, the majority of those present were well advanced in life. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAlR.—Captain Thomas S. Bunker, of the 88th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, last September, through the Rev. J. W. Bushing, who, by the way, received pay for the part he took in the transaction, managed to have his son, who had died' in the service, cre dited on the quota of Darke county, as a substitute for a. drafted man, named Calvin Moore. It appears that ther son, Charles Bunker, had entered the service as a substi tute early;in the war, and by good conduct had been i, pro moted to the rank of second lieutenant, which position _ .st e , held until his death, which took place last July.
