IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- After long experience, deep researches Into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oileake may be entirely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs., at the cost of 5d.. mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing lid. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 165. per cwt., £16165. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of professional criticism and empirieal hostility, treats in aplain and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. Yesterday morning the report was issued of the select committee appointed to inquire into the organisation and management of those branches of the Admiralty, War-office, India-office, and Emi gration Board, by which the business of transport ing, by means of shipping, troops, convicts, emi grants, materials of war, stores, and any other similar servies is now performed. The report, which is dated the 26th ult., consists of upwards of five pages. The following are the chief recommendations : " The immediate separation of the transport from the victualling department of the Admiralty. The removal from the India-office of the transport of all troops and stores toand from our East India possessions. The aboliti on of the Emigration-office, and consequently the transfer to the Colonial-office, to which it legitimately belon gs , of all business con nected with the various laws passed by the colonial legislatures relating to land or emigration, the con sideration of land claims, the preparation of mineral leases, the framing of orders in council relating to land, and all similar duties performed by the Commissioners of EmigratiZ Simultaneouslyth w ith these important, but necessary changes, co mmittee recommend the formation of adistinc e t and separate Transport-office on the principle of the late Transport Board, properly organised, and directly responsible to a department of the state, for transport of every kind required by the Govern ment to any part of our coast, and to all our colo nies and possesions, including India. Under the charge of this office your committee recommend that 'there should be depots at Southampton, Birkenhead, and Plymouth, and so much of the valuable and already organised machinery of the Emigration-office as may be found necessary, as also the services of the most competent agents, clerks, and surveyors now attached to the India Transport and Emigration offices who may be willing to transfer their services if required. When these changes are effected, every department of the Government requiring transport would apply to the transport-office, the head of which office should be held responsible for the quality and soundness of all vessels engaged by it, and the manning, fitting, provisioning, and ventilating of those vessels. He should also bt, responsible for the stowage of all cargo, and for due care of the health, comfort, and safety of all troops and Government passengers, from the time they were embarked till landed at their port of destination. Separate and distinct accounts should, in the opinion of your committee, be kept at the Transport-office of the cost of the work done for each department of the Government, and rendered periodically, and a disti nct est i mate of the entire annual cost, divided into separate heads, should be annually laid before Parliament as a transport estimate." GREAT FTRES AND GREAT WAREHOUSES.—The Manchester warehouses have grown into enormous store houses, full of the most combustible materials, without hav ing any partition walls at all. Cook's warehouse, in St. Paul's churchyard, is perhaps the most striking example of this evasion of the letter of the law. It contains no less than 1,100,000 cubic feet of space, filled with cotton goods, or 900,000 feet more than the space contemplated by the law. Avid Cook's warehouse is only a sample of these kind of buildings that aro growing in every direction in the heart of the city. Mr. Braidwood was never tired of raising his warning voice against these centres of dire conflagrations. These warehouses, he was often heard to say, are inaugu rating an era of gigantic fires, against which the efforts of the Brigade will be powerless. The buildings, too, are so constructed as to render the firemen afraid to enter them. Iron girders, supported by iron columns, hold up the floors of these enormous buildings, and when these become red hot, in consequence of the fierce blast to which they are subjected, the fireman plays upon them at his peril, as the water suddenly contracts them on one side, and they snap and shiver in an instant, bringing the whole building down with a run,—Once a Week. THE COMET. CARLISLE RACES.-WEDNESDAY. The Corby Castle Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added ; two year olds, 6st 101 b ; three, Bst 71b ; fillies and geld- ings allowed 31b. T.Y.C.

After Wallachia had bolted several times a moderate start was effected ; Lachesis being first on her legs, but was immediately passed by Wallachia, who car ried on the running for about 200 yards, when ho ran against a post and fell, rolling off Sinclair. After this Lachesis cantered home at her ease. We are glad to say Sinclair is not so seriously hurt as was anticipated. The Scurry Handicap Stakes of 5 sous each, with 25 added, for all ages. T.Y.C.

The race is soon described. Upon settling into their places, Interest took the lead, was never afterwards headed, and won cleverly by three-quarters of a length. There were twolengths between the second and third horses. Desmond was a bad fourth. Underhand and Oldminster ran against a post. Consolation Scramble Handicap of 3 soya each, with 20 added, for beaten horses. Half a mile. _ _ _ Mr. Peck's Young Viscount, 3 yrs, Est 71b ....

Montrose made the running for the first two hundred yards, when Camphor took it up, and carried it on to half way up the straight ; here she was beaten, and Young Viscount took the command, maintained it to the end, and won cleverly by a length. Camphor was a good third. It is the intention of the Clerk of the Course to fix this meeting in future on the Thursday and Friday in the New castle race week, so as not to clash with Worcester and Newmarket. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—WEDNESDAY• There were some changes in the Liverpool Cup betting Doefoot was supported as low as 7 to 1, but ultimately 10 to 1 Was laid and offered; then 12 to 1 was taken about York minder, and afterwards 16 to 1 was laid and offered, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having obtained observations of the splen did comet now visible on three successive evenings, I have been enabled to calculate the elements of its orbit, which I now transmit, together with a few particulars founded upon them. The comet arrived at its least distance from the sun about 1 o'clock on the morning of June 10, in heliocentric longitude 244 deg. 35 min., being then separated from him by 76,000,000 miles. It crossed the plain of the earth's orbit from the south to the north side in longitude 279 dug. 1 min. on June 28, in a path inclined 85 deg. 58 min. to the ecliptic. The true orbital motion is direct. Its distance from the earth on Sunday evening was rather over 13,000,000 miles, and a little less than 15,000,000 at 11 o'clock last evening. It is therefore recoding slowly from us, as well as from' the sun. The apparent length of the tail last night was 70 deg., corresponding to a true length of 16,000,000 miles. The nucleus, which is extremely brilliant, was about 400 miles in diameter. The comet has a very striking and interesting appearance in the telescope; but it would be diffi cult to describe it without the assistance of a dia gram. It is certainly not the comet of Charles V. (1556), the return of which has been anticipated about this epoch. I subjoin a few places, calculated from my ele ments, which will sufficiently define the track in the heavens during the ensuing week : FOR MEAN MIDNIGHT AT GREENWICH. Right North Distance Ascension.

R. HIND. Mr. G. Bishop's Observatory, Regent's-park, July 3. This new visitor, which has taken even astrono mers by surprise, shone with great brilliancy last night, exciting universal admiration. The reason why it was not observed before is that, up to the 30th ult., its distance from the pole was such as to make it set together with the sun ; whereas, from that date, it has approached so near the pole that it cannot set at all. Its size does not at present exceed that of 1858, and it differs from it materially in this respect that its tail is straight instead of being curved. The observations taken by MM. Lepissier and Lonvy on the 30th ult. were as follows : Mean Time, Paris. Right Ascension. Distance from Pole. H. M. 9 5 11 27 11 44 H. M. S. DEG. H. S. 6 37 40 44 11 1 6 40 37 43 20 9 6 41 1 43 13 5 Yesterday its distance from the pole was not mere than 35 degrees, it having thus performed nearly eight degrees northward in the course of 24 hours. It is composed as usual of a very bril liant nucleus, a luminous aureola of considerable breadth, a tuft on the side turned towards the sun, and a large tail in the opposite direction, Accord ing to M. Chacornac the tuft is eccentric, and com posed of six curved and radiant branches, each not more than a minute in length ; they are all curved in the same sense. As might have been expected, the comet gave rise to an animated discussion at yesterday's sitting of the Academy of Sciences. M. Elie de Beaumont read a letter from M. Gold schmidt, the amateur astronomer, in which he stated that the comet was 35 degrees in length, and be tween three and four in breadth, so that it measures 17,000,000 of leagues. M. Babinet remarked that M. Hind's Ephemerides of Charles V.'s comet give it the precise position of the p rese nt one. M. Bo mine had predicted its return in 1858, and Mr. Hind admitted that it might return between 1856 and 1860. Considering the imp er f ec t manner i n which observations were taken three centuries ago, it would surprise no one that a difference of six months should exist between the time of its ap pearance and the time calculated. If this were so, the present comet was the same that had been ob served in 1556, and caused the abdication of Charles V. Tt had previously appeared, according to Pingre, in 1264, when it was supposed to announce the death of Pope Urban IV. ; and its appearance had been recorded even earlier, in July, 975, by the Chinese. M. Leverrier was not of M. Babinet's opinion. Mr. Hind's table showed different posi tions which Charles V.'s comet might occupy in the event of its return, and the question was so uncle-• termined that it was no wonder to find a position in the table answering to that of the present comet. And, indeed, there was one corresponding to the position of the 30th of June ; but the motion of the present comet in the course of 24 hours was so dif ferent from that given in the table, that the identity of the two comets could no longer . be admitted. Here the subject dropped.—Gallgnant's Messenger. Letters from the French departments contain fresh details relating to the terrific hailstorm which caused so much damage on the 22d of June. At Touhan, near Lyons, the storm was so intense that roofs of 50 and 60 feet long were stripped off houses, and the largest trees were tern up by the roots. At Saint-Seine and the neighbour hood the hailstones lay so thick on the ground that a trust worthy witness asserts that he saw a bed of hailstones three feet thick on the road between Saint•Seino and Yours- Soules. All the carriages travelling on the road at that time were overturned. The lightning at the same moment killed several horses in the fields. In the Yonne, on the same day, and at the same hour as in the Cote d'Or, the crops were totally destroyed in the districts of Soigny, Auxerre, Sens, and Tonn erre. The appearance of the country is desolate. Vineyards are deprived of vegetation, garden■ are laid waste, and cornfields are ploughed up. The light ning, moreover, killed a number of cattle in that depart ment. In the Nievre the wind and rain destroyed the growing crops, levelled more than 100 houses, and tore up thousands of trees, particularly in the neighbourhood of Cosne. In the Allier three men were killed in the fields. Numerous rabbits and fowls perished in the poultry yards. The corn crops suffered great injury. The loss in that de partment is estimated at above 1,000,000 francs. In the Jura the hailstorm which was experienced on Sunday week laid waste eight communes in the neighbourhood of Con. liege. In the Marne numerous dwelling houses were stripped of their roofs, church steeples were thrown down, and several persons injured. In the Rhone the commune of Chamelet escaped more serious injury by a heavy fall of rain, which dissipated the hailstorm. As a slight compen sation, the hay crop is described as excellent throughout France. A CREMONE BALLOON FOR THE CONTINENT. — A balloon ascent is, generally speaking, an evening novelty used by managers of public gardens. This usual order of things was broken through yesterday by the Cremorne lessee, who allowed a spirited amateur gentleman to lake a private morning performance on his own account, which though commencing at these beautiful gardens, will pro bably not terminate till he has the opportunity of having an interview with our neighbours across Channel. The arrangements for this trip were not completed till between nine and ten yesterday morning, and therefore the fact of the balloon 'passing over the metropolis as early as three p.m., is a fact which may be mentioned as reflecting credit upon the London Gas Company, the management of the gardens, and Lythgoe, the aeronaut. The wind has now continued N.W. for some hours, and we may therefore an ticipate that, taking into consideration the speed at which the intrepid voyagers passed over London, they are, some hours since, safely landed on the territory of France. PRUSSIAN MANNERS.—Travelling Englishmen have of late been stigmatised in Prussia somewhat severely in connection with the celebrated "Macdonald affair," and State Procurator Moller was pleased to apply some hard epithets to the class during the recent judicial proceedings; but, judging from the following narrative, taken from the .NeuenAmsterdamer llandelsblatt, the Prussians have much need to look at home before they cast undeserved asper sions on others :—" A few days since a neble officer of the Prussian Guards was present with a lady in a saloon of a steamboat on the Rhine. A gentleman in civil costume entered, when the officer ordered him in a very rude manner to remove his hat. The gentleman appeared not to hear the demand, when the officer knocked the hat from the gentle man's head. The gentleman immediately called the cap tain of the vessel, and requested him, according to his in structions, to put the officer ashore at the first station they reached. The captain hesitated to put his instructions in force in the case of an officer of the Guards, and paid no attention to the demand. As the next station was passed without the officer being set , on shore, the gentleman repeated his request ; and as another station was also pissed, and the officer w as still suffered to remain on board, the gentleman announced himself as the Presi dent of the Prussian Ministers, the Prince of Hohenzollern. The captain no longer refused. The officer begged the prince's pardon, upon w hich he replied that he could punish him most severely for his conduct towards a ;bungcivilia, and that his future military prospects would be lost be would content himself by having the regulations of the vessel carried out, in order that the officer might be taught a lesson. The offender was put on shore at the next land ing place." PRICE 41) . STAMPED, 51). AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 3. The United States Mail steamship Fulton, Capt. J. A. Wotton, from New York, on the 22d ult., has arrived at Cowes, and gone on to Havre. Her ad vices are three days later than those received by th e Australasian. The Fulton brings 150 passengers, of whom 13 are for this port, and 137 for Havre. Sh e has no specie. he lleral(l of the 22d gives the following report of the latest position of affairs. " The most exciting news we have to record to day is that which reaches us from Harrisburg, to the effect that the gallant Indiana regiment of Colonel Wallace, which has been so active in dispersing the enemy at Romney, has been surrounded at Cumber land, Md., by a force of over 10,000 rebels, com manded, no doubt, by General Joe Johnstone, and all chances of retreat cut off. This disastrous intel ligence reached Harrisburg yesterday, and imme diately a strong force, consisting of Colonel Biddle's rifles and Colonel Simmon's infantry regiment, was ordered to start, with few days' rations, to the assis tance of Colonel Wallace's command. They left last night by way of Hopewell and Bedford, and we must await with anxiety the result of their mission. The regiment of Colonel Wallace is composed of very brave and daring set of fellows, the same who, be fore they left Indianapolis, knelt in front of the State-house and took an oath to remember Buena Vista,' and there can be very little that in the present desperate emergency Le..., make a gallant struggle, whether vanquished or relieved. The anticipated conflict 'n tie neigh bourhood of Washington did not take place yester day as expected, the rebels, in this instance, as in many others, having retired before the approach of the Union army. When General M'Dowell advanced his outposts at daybreak he found that the rebel pickets, which were almost within speaking dis tance on the previous evening, had been called in, and that the rebels had fallen back. It thus became evident that some other design than an attack in the direction of Washington had been decided upon, and accordingly the orders for all the regiments to hold themselves in readiness for an immediate march were countermanded for the time being ; but it appears that the orders to march were again issued to five regiments later in the day, showing that all danger of an attack had not been dissipated by the sudden withdrawal of the rebels. General M'Dowell, meantime, continues to advance his lines. Five thousand of his division moved yesterday from Ball's Cross Roads to the vicinity of Fall's Church, a point about three miles distant from Fairfax Court house, and the same from Vienna. A reconnaissance in the direction of the latter place yesterday after noon proved that there were 2,500 rebels there, and it was thought that if they should be reinforced a battle is inevitable at that point. There appears to be stirring times about Fortress Monroe. The outposts of the Union forces at Hampton and the vicinity were driven in on Wednesday night by a superior force of the rebels, who have been actively extending their lines towards the fortress. A bat tery of five guns, strongly supported with men, has been recently thrown up within four miles of Hamp ton. General Butler has, however, sent forward a strong detachment, consisting of Colonel Duyree's Zouaves, the third Volunteer Regiment (Colonel Townsend), the Steuben Volunteers, and two pieces of artillery, all under the command of Capt. Smith, of the United States Topographical Engineers, to make a reconnaissance, and it is quite probable that onr next news from that quarter will bring an ac count of a sharp skirmish. " The rebels have not abandoned the line of the Potomac in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry. They still continue to annoy the Union troops on the other side of the river. Colonel Stone's command, which is now at Poolesville, oppositeLeesburg, is harassed by the fire of the rebels in that neighbourhood. The Union troops return the fire with their rifles across the river, occasionally shooting down the rebel ar tillerists at their posts while loading their guns. Colonel Stone reports that with some artillery he cauld do good service in dislodging the enemy. " We learn from Missouri that the State troops (rebels), who had been concentrated in large force at Independence, had moved to Lexington, where it is thought they intend to make a decided stand against the Union army of General Lyon." Six rebel companies, numbering nearly 500 men, had left New Orleans for the seat of War in Vir ginia. The Herald of the 21st says,— "It seems evident from the information which reached us last night—the particulars of which we publish to-day—that the theatre of the first grand battle is to be in the vicinity of Washington, and in all probability before many hours have passed over a collision between a large force of the union and the rebel armies, at some point between the banks of the Potomac and Manassas Junction, will make a fearful opening of the campaign. It is stated that an advance movement of the entire force under General M'Dowell took place yesterday afternoon. The Bth New York Regiment started with two days' rations, and without knapsacks, towards Fair fax Courthouse ; several other regiments and all the cavalry stationed in that locality will follow them. It is certain that the rebels were advancing from Manassas Junction and Fairfax Court-house in the direction of the lines of the Union troops on Arlington Heights, and that they were so close yesterday that the pickets of both armies were within speaking distance. General M'Dowell has made an inspection of his division, and returned to his headquarters at the Heights. He reports every thing ready for an attack, and the officers and men anxiously awaiting it. The idea prevails that the leaders, finding delay no longer possible, design to provoke a conflict with the army of the Union, and thus, by retiring from the field at an oppor- , tune moment, draw them into a succession of ambuscades of masked batteries, which they have located along the line from Manassas Junction to Fairfax Court-house. The War Department, however, is preparing for the emergency, not only by advancing the troops into Virginia, but by strengthening the for ces around Washington. A body of not less than 5,000 men passed through Baltimore yesterday for the capital. They comprised the 14th and 18th Regiments of New York Volunteers , th e 4th Maine Regiment, the 2d Rhode Island Regiment, and one regiment of the Scott Life Guard. A steamer had also arrived at Baltimore from Fortress Monroe, with 90 tons of shells, which were landed at Fort M'Henry. " It is evident that the rebels are still lingering around Harper's Ferry, for some purpose or the other. Their pickets show themselves occasionally, and sometimes fire across the river to the Maryland shore at the Union troops there. It is reported that a rebel camp is located within two miles of the river, at Falling Water. General Cadwallader still re mains at Williamsport, with 6,000 men. There appears to be some doubt as to the precise locality at which the recent conflict at Piedmont, just con firmed by news• received at the War Department, took place. It has been stated that the bridge over the New-creek, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, has been guarded for some time past by Captain Resley and some 40 or 50 men from Cumberland. This bridge is seven miles south of Piedmont, which is a little village in Hampshire county, on the north branch of the Potomac, where the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company had several machine shops. It appears that Captain Resley was advised about 10 days ago that a rebel force was about to attack the bridge, and be immediately applied to Colonel - Wallace, of the Indiana Zouaves, then stationed at Cumberland, for assistance. The Zouaves were sent down, but no attack being made, Colonel Wallace finally marched his troops to Romney, where he dis persed the rebels. From these facts it is presumedl that the recent fight did not take place exactly at the village of Piedmont. but at New Creek Bridge, seven miles distant. A despatch from Grafton says there was no battle, but thatth o e e r s e . b ” els destroyed the bridge and some telegraph p The journals of Berlin speak of a conflict which has arisen at Constantinople betwee even intimate that the n Count Goltz, Minister and of Brussia, and Sir H. Bu , f or mer may be re called. But the Kreutz-Zeitung, which is in a position to be well informed on the matter, states that th e re will be no recall , and that the conflict referred to is purely personal, and has nothing whatever to do with the political questions which occupy European diplomatists in the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

T. A. Bevis, arrived at Southampton at one p.m. yesterday with the abovenaraed mails, in charge of Lieut. Smith, R.N., naval mail agent. From Rio •to Bahia the Oneida experienced strong southerly winds and fine weather; thence to Pernambuco, moderate south-easterly Winds and fine; to 10 deg. N., moderate south-easterly and variable winds and fine, and thence to St. Vincent fresh north-easterly breezes; between St. Vincent and Lisbon, very strong N.E. head winds, some times blowing a gale, .and very high sea all the way; from Lisbon,strong head winds and high sea as far as Cape Finisterre, and thence to Ush ant N.E. winds and moderate sea; in the Channel, light breezes and fine weather. The Oneida brought 107 passengers, and on freight opecic. , from Buenos Ayres, £1,700; from Rio, £30,000; from Bahia, £5O; and from Pernambuco, £4s—total amount of specie, £31,795 (of which £30,095 was in gold, and £1,700 in silver); also, 3,817 bags of coffee, 100 rolls of tobacco, and 139 packages of sundries. From Bahia we learn that the President of the province, Signor Costa Pinto, had just been relieved from his post, and they Vice-President was acting until another could be appointed. The Bahianos seem to be always dissatisfied with the President elect. The weather had been wet and favourable for the interior. Nearly all who had fled to the seaboard during the famine of last year had re turned to their homes, and things were looking up again with prospects of good crops next season. Exchange closed fiat on the 11th ult. at 261 d. Pur chases of cotton for home consumption had been effected at 9,000 per arroba. No sales of hides had t -1 - spired during the week prior to the departure _ais mail. The last prices were 200 rs. per lb. for dry salted, and 230 rs. for dry. There wa:. 9 coffee in the market. Last sales were ,-,iar roba for Nazareths, 5,150r5. to 5,200r5. and 5,300 to 5,350 for Maragogipe. Cocoa had been in brisk demand, but supplies were coming in very sparingly, and 4,700 r. per arroba were given for a few unimportant lots. Sales ofsugar were at 2,400 r. for browns in cases, and 2,600 r. to 2,700 r. for whites, while 2,200 r. to 2,300 had been given for picked of the former description. Stooks were get ting reduced, and supplies falling off. The Vasco da Gama was chartered for a British port direct at 455. per ton. There is no political news of interest from Per nambuco. The Government had contracted with Messrs. H. Green and Co., of London, to build some iron bridges across the rivers to connect the different parts of the city of Recife. Entries of sugar had been very small, is consequence of heavy rains, barely reaching 38,964 bags during the month. The advices received by the Oneida on her outward voyage being discouraging, operations for Europe were confined to some ballasts for cot ton vessels, and quotations were nominal ; best whites, 4,000 to 4,200 ; selected yellows, 2,400 to 2,500 ; American muscovadoes, 2,000 to 2,300 ; Chan nel, do., 1,950 to 2,000 ; Paraibas, 2,000 ; Maceios, 2,200. The American advices caused great excite ment in the ootton-market, but the high rates asked by holders prevented much business. The only sale of outport cotton reported was 1,600 bags average Maceio at 9,000. Nothing doing in hides, and quotations were nominal at 19Ors. to 200 rs. per lb. The amount of exchange passed for this steamer was about £90,000 at 26d., to 260., and 261 d., 90 days, according to terms of payment. Discounts, 10 per cent, for four-month bills, and 12 per cent. for six months. Freights to the United Kingdom, 455. per ton and 6 per cent. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

No English ships of war at Bahia or Pernambuco. Her Majesty's steam frigate Leopard, with the flag of Sir Stephen Lushington, homeward bound, arrived at St. Vin cent's on the 20th ult., three hours before the Oneida left for Lisbon.

The American ship Emily Farnum (of Portsmouth, New Hampshire), N. P. Simes master, 1,119 tons register, which sailed from the Downs on the 29th of April with a cargo of 1,800 tons of railway iron, bound for Calcutta (in conse quence of the strong north-east current and soul herly winds prevailing on the coast), ran aground on tile reefs of Catuama, about 30 miles to the north of Pernambuco, and six miles from the shore, on the 6th of June. 'The steam • tag Camaragibe proceeded to her assistance, and took her into Pernambuco on the 10th ; the ship had lost about 30 feet of her false keel, and was about to be surveyed. RAILWAY INTELLIG_ENCE. BRISTOL AND EXETER. A special meeting of this company was held yes terday at Bristol for thp purpose of considering a bill now before Parliament for making a railway from Chard to Taunton. Mr. S. W. BULLER, M.P., presided. He stated that the line in question was to connect th e town of Chard with the South-Western and the Bristol and Exeter Railways, and that the guars ntee of the Bristol and Exeter Company was 55 per cent. of the gros s rece ipt s o f th e propose d li n e, or a mini mum rental. of £4,750 per annum. They had nothing to do with the construction of the Char d line, but when complet e d undertook to work ther railway for 45 per cent. of the gross receipt s.

The heavy damages awarde d against the Great Northern Company in the action brought by the representatives of the late Mr. Ppm has had the effect of directing the attention of several gentlemen connected with railways to the importance of im proving the law on the subject. A conference the Great recently held on the subject was a ttended by NI Moon, chairman of the London and North-Wes of the London, the Earl of Shelburne, chairmar t o f 'Western ; Mr. Schuster, chai r man of Brighton, and South Coast; the Eastern Counties; Mr. Den isonL ove, chairman of 'chairman of Yorkshire In, M.P., chair the Great Northern ; Mr, w, man of the Lancashire and M.P., chairman of the M.P., chairman Mangles, of the London Midland •, Mr. Hodgson, ; Mr. Beale, number of other direct ors e North Bi !I fish ; Captain of th was resolved that a fut ure e o e f ufe various reneo compan ies. sh ould b e h at which all the held, ki ngdom manner should be invited to a: ecide in what the question should be bro i ight under the consideration of Parliament. The Court of Appeal gave judgment in the Bonaparte case on Monday. It is perhi sps unnecessary to say that the appeal was dismissed, and ' die judgment given against M. Bonaparte and his moth( Jr, and in favour of Prince Napoleon. The Court below land decided the case in the same way, but merely on the ground that, having been once judged (137: i the conseil de faraille), the chose jugZe could not be interkred with ; but the Court of Appeal went a step further, lay ing down that there was no marriage in point of law, an j that even if it had. been valid the impe rial decrees of I .805 dissolving it wen) perfectly valid. There is no doubt but ; that the case will come before the Court of Cessation, why and twistings. 311 it will be amusing to witness the turnings of M. Dupin, to confirm a ruling entirely or F i l me d to t]e principles he has over and over again laid down.
