Norfolk Militia Artillery- was in spected at Oreat Yarmouth by Colonel. England, Royal Artillery Commandant at. Sheerness. After the usual marching past, the corps was-put through the evolutions of battalion drill by their commandant; Lord Hastings, when the gallant revke wing officer was pleased to express. his entire satisfaction . at the steadiness and soldierlike manner in which - the several manoeuvres were performed. The Norfolk Artillery have, one and all, volunteered to serve her Majesty in any place they.may be , required. Their period of training has been, extended to 56 days. The Herefordshire Regiment of Militia had their field day on Saturday, but the operations were sadly marred by the rain. The men presented a satisfactory appear ance, and got through their exercise with much precision. Colonel Patton assured the regiment that he should re port . most favuorahly of them. In the afternoon the arms and.aceoutrements were given up, and to-day, the men will be disbanded. 36 have volunteered into the line. The regiment is 580 strong. The Northumberland Light Infantry Regiment of Militia, under the command of Lieut.-Col. M. Bigge, was called out at Alnwick on the 17th instant, for 28 days' training and exercise. They are now undergoing the preliminary stages of instruction in drill, and the promp titude with which they obey the word of command and go through their evolutions, testifies that they have not forgotten their former lessons. On former occasions detachments from regiments of the line attended to as sist in the training, but the demand for the services of the regular soldiers elsewhere has caused the whole of these duties to devolve upon the sergeants of the perma nent staff, aided by a serjeant, corporal, and small party of Coldstream Guards. On Saturday the Queen's Own Tower Hamlets Regi ment of Militia, which musters about 500 strong, and which is under the command of Colonel North, were inspected by Colonel Bush, in an enclosed area of Vic toria-park. The men went through their evolutions with great precision, forming hollow squares, wheeling into line, &c. ' in perfect order. At the conclusion 'of the review. Colonel Bush addressed the body in flattering terms upon their-efficiency and steady behaviour. On Friday afternoon a telegraphic despatch from the War-office was received at Doncaster by Colonel Loftus, directing the 3d West York Militia to proceed on the following morning to the barracks at Berwick-upon- Tweed, there to be Stationed until further orders. On Saturday morning the parade was formed at the Man sion-hotise At 6 o'cloCk, soon after which the regiment proceeded thence in the railway station, headed by the band, and accompanied by hundreds of spectators. The men appeared to be in the highest spirits, and returned the cheers of the civilians in a very hearty manner. Two Great Northern special trains at once started with them to their destination. The number of rank and file told off on Friday night was 860, nearly every man of whom wag forthcoming on Saturday morning. In addition to this, the trains contained 32 officers, with their wives and servants, about 50 of the wives of the men, and nearly as many of their children. All the women and children of the latter class who presented themselves at the station, and who desired to accompany the corps, were taken in the train, the extra number beyond what is allowed by military regulations L 9 accompany a regi ment in transitu having to be paid for by the men them selves or by the contributions of the officers. The bar racks at Berwick, which have not been occupied for sonic time, will accommodate 16 officers and' only 700 men ; the remainder, therefore, will have to be quartered in the town. The men were to receive 1/. each bounty money on their arrival at the barracks. The Sussex Artillery Militia assembled for 28 days' training at the artillery depot, Lewes, on 'Wednesday last, but the muster-roll is very far from complete, which arises from the large number who have joined the regular service under the present regulations. They are now making considerable progress, and will, no doubt, soon become expert in gunnery practice. The depot is pro vided with about 18 guns, of which 12 are field pieces, and the remainder 24 and 32 pounders, and two of these are swivels. The Northamptonshire Militia have unanimously re solved to offer their services on active duty. The offer was communicated to the Government through the Lord-Lieutenant; and Lord Palmerston has replied that this very handsome and honourable offer of service ihall be. duly considered in making choice of the nnilitia regi ments to be embodied. ' • The King's Own Staffordshire Militia will leaVe Lich= field this morning by a train which has been specially provided. On arriving at the Euston station the men will march through London to the South-Eastern station, from which point. they will proceed to Dover Castle, where they will do garrison duty, their services haying been accepted by the Government. , The Royal Westmoreland Militia having been on duty instant, was Appleby, under Major Monina, since the 2d was inspected on Friday by Colonel Denial, inspeCting officer of the Lt erpool district. The regiment went through a variety'of military eVolutiOns, and will be dis charged from 'service" today. Colonel Lord Ward inspected the Him.

The committee are satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed works. A PRESENT FROM AN ENGLISH M.P. TO THE KING OF DENMARK.—A most elaborate and beautifully de signed stained glass window is now on view on the pre mises of Messrs. Ballantine and Allan, at Edinburgh, which has been designed by Mr. John Thomas, the well-known sculptor of the new Palace at Westminster. This magnificent work of decorative art will shortly be presented by Mr. Peto, the honourable member for Norwich, to his- Majesty the King of Denmark, and is intended for the altar window of the Chapel Royal at Fredericksburg. The upper portion of this window has fifteen upright compartments, in the centre of which is a figure of our Saviour as the Good Shepherd. In the upper central com partment the dove is seen descending amid golden rays surrounded by clouds, while the lower central and the dexter and sinister lights contain exquisitely coloured medallion heads of the apostles, with deep blue back grounds, surmounted by their emblems and sur rounded with richly diapered and ornamental work in various colours. The under portion of the window is •filled with heraldic, emblematic, and national devices. The central light contains a likeness of the King of Denmark in white enamel on a ruby ground, surmounted with it laurel leaf. The royal arms of Denmark, envi roned with the ensigns of the order of Daneborg and of the Elephant, are also introduced with excellent effect. The national motto of the Danes, with the state sword and sceptre, are also most effectively given. While ap tleciiting this magnificent present as, no doubt, his Majesty will do, we hope at the same time it will give as „___lnlPqns to the ar t o f glase f fita,ining in'the _States of a-funto.ark MAY 16.—The paper read was "On the Fatigue, and consequent Fracture of Metals," by Mr. F. Braithwaite, M. Inst. C. E. Many accidents, the causes of which had been pronounced " mysterious," having professedly engaged the author's attention, he had carefully ex amined the circumstances of each, and the condition of the fractured metal, in ail cases, and at length arrived at the conclusion, that almost all the accidents might be ascribed to a progressive deteriorating action which Might be termed the " fatigue " of metals. Metal in a state of rest, although sustaining a heavy pressure or strain, as in a beam or girder, and exhibiting only the deflection due to the superposed weight, would continue to bear that pressure, without fracture, so long as its rest was not disturbed, and the same strain was not too frequently repeated ; but if either of these cases occurred, a certain disturbance of the particles took place, the metal was deteriorated, and that portion subject to the reiterated strain was so far destroyed that it ultimately broke down. This might also • arise from sudden concussions, when the metal was under a certain strain, and those concussions might be caused by the girder being suddenly unloaded. Several ex a,:nples were given of accidents of the kind that bad been alluded to; for instance, that of a vat in a London brewery, carried on cast-iron girders, by which it had been supported for some years, but suddenly, without any apparent cause, they broke, and killed and wounded some workmen. In this case, it was shown that the girders were not originally sufficiently stroll.- for the load, and therefore the intermittent load of the b vat, which was sometimes full and at other times only partially so, and then empty, cau-ed a constantly recur ring deflection, and a subsequently corresponding effort to regain its natural position, by which the composition of the metal was disturbed and fracture ensued. Other examples of the same nature were given, and it was shown that the repeated buckling of the tube plate of a locomotive arising from the action of the pistons, had a tendency to cause fracture mechanically ; and also that the side-strains and vibrations to which the suspension rods of the ash-pans of locomotives were subjected, had produced very serious results, which it sufficed to point out forcibly to guard against the recurrence of. The author contended that, presuming adequate dimensions to have been given to girders, and the stipulated weight not to have been exceeded, the chances of accident were remote, but that any repeated deflections, either at inter vals, or continued for so long as to induce a permanent depression, must be productive of danger, which could only be averted by altering or replacing the parts defi cient in strength, and maintaining a rigid supervision, whether of beams when loaded, or of parts of machinery, pr of railway stock after working. By such means acci dents would be prevented, and .a greater degree of con• fidence be established in structures in which metal was employed. THE LATE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN NORTH DEVON. —The victim of this brutal outr tge, Mary Richards, contrary to the anticipations of the medical men who were called in, still survives, though she lies in a very Precarious state and past all hope of recovery. Nine pieces of bone have been taken' from the skull, which had been beaten in with a hammer, and the person of the unfortunate woman, besides being violated, had evi dently been brutally forced by a stick, or more pro bably by the handle of the • hammer by which the blows on the head were inflicted. The young woman has been enabled to relate how the shocking affair took place. According to her account, which is corrobo rated in the most essential particulars by the testimony of other persons who saw the accused in the neighbour hood about the time referred to, it appears that she was walking towards La.ngtree, carrying two small baskets and a bundle. On the way Llewllyn Garrett Talmidge Harvey, the prisoner, overtook her, and they walked up a steep hill to the village of Taddiport together. On reaching the last house at the top of the hill, the girl turned from the road to go into the dwelling, when the fellow asked, "Are you come to the end of your journey ?" She replied, "No ; I have several miles to go yet." He then went on, and after remaining about 10 minutes in the house she fol lowed on her way home. She says that, after leaving the cottage and proceeding as far as the place she was attacked she saw the man sitting on the bank by the roadside. He accosted her and made inde cent proposals to her, which she stoutly resisted ; he then caught hold of her and dragged her in side the gateway. She succeeded in breaking away from him, and got outside the gate, where he again caught her and struck her on the head with a hammer, after which she became thoroughly insensible and re co!lects nothing that took place. The villain must have ravished her while in this state of insensibility, the surgeons beine• of opinion that be first stunned his victim in the road, that he then dragged her inside the gateway where he completed his fiendish desires, and then, having beaten her about the head till he thought her dead, he stripped her of all the valuables she pos sessed and threw her into the ditch. The prisoner was seen between four and five on the afternoon in question about two fields' distance from the spot, and he then had two baskets and a bundle in his - possession, and they have since been discovered concealed in a thicket close by. The day after Harvey was appre hended some of the inhabitants of Taddiport went over to Barnstaple to see if they recognised him, and they proved that he was the same man they had• seen about the village on the day in ques tion. He then admitted that he was there, and that he walked up the hill with a young woman but denied all knowledge of the crime imputed to hini. The prisoner was conveyed by Mr. Aldham, superintendent of the Barnstaple police, to the Torring ton lock up, and he was afterwards taken to the work house, where the young woman lay.

Sold by all druggists, and as Professor Holloway's, 244 , Strand, At the last ordinary meeting of the Statistical Society, held at the rooms of the society in St. James's-squaie— present Sir John P. Boileau, Bart., V.P., in the chair, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of St. David's, and Dr. Gug genbuhl of Bern, a paper was read, entitled "A Statistical and Historical view of the Statute Law of the Realm from the earliest recorded pe.iod to the present time," by Wil liam Tayler, Esq. The author commenced by stating that the statutes were inscribed in latin to the time of Edward I. (1272), in Norman French to about the time of Richard 111. (1483), and subsequently in the English language. The earlier statutes were extremely defective, and coerts of justice were, not only. unfreqUently overawed and in fluenced by the crown, or corrupted by the nobles. He - gave the number of statutes passed in each reign from. Henry 111. (1225), to the 16th and 17th of Victoria (1853), and passed in review the more interesting or special ones. The aggregate number of sta tutes of all kinds passed from -the 12th of Henry 111. to the end of the reign of Charles I. comprising a period of nearly four centuries, were 3,316. The acts and or dinances of the Cominonwealth and Protectorate (1649-GO), were not recorded as statutes of the realm, -every possible trace of the acts of the regicides and rebels being removed at the Restoration, from a scarce work of the period it appeared that they consisted of. some hundreds of rare and curious ordinances, many of them assuming the character of imperial edicts.' From the time of Cromwell to the end of George 11. (1660 to 1760), there were 5,844 statutes of all kinds enacted. In the long reign of George 111. (GO years), the number of statutes passed were 14,800. In the reign of George IV., 3,223 ; Williarri IV., 1,802 ; and in the 16 years reign of Victoria, 5,331 ; in all from Henry 111. (1225), to the present time, 34,319 statutes of every description. A tabular state ment gave a sub-divisioh of the acts into public and private, and in latter years into local acts. The average number of statutes that were passed annually in each reign were also given, and they exhibited the great increase of legislation in recent. years. In the reign of Henry 111 (1225), the number of the 'statutes passed per annum were only '26 (one every four years), In the reign of Henry IV. (1399), they had increased to 10'9 per annum. In the reign of Edward I V. (1461), they had receded to 2 . 4. In the reign of Edward VI. (1517), they had increased to 27'S, and in the time of Charles I. (1625), had again receded to 3 . 5. In the time of William and Mary (1688), they had increased to 60 2. In the time of George 11. to 84•6, in George 111. to 246.7, in George IV. to 322.3, in William IV. they had receded to 257.4, and to, the. 16. and 17 Victoria they had increased to the large number - of 523-4 per annum, the average of the reign being taken in each instance. Thiis showing the rapid increase of legislative enactments in times of peace and in ternal tranquillity. The author concluded by an appeal for a legislative consolidation of the statutes into a code or system under distinct heads, and for the absolute expulsion of all expired, obsolete, or repealed statutes : the number of the last he could not arrive at from the chaos that prevailed. He expressed his full conviction that it was competent for an effective commission appointed for such a purpose to effect a consolidation of the statutes, and to free them from those not in force, and the measure would only be in ac"- cordance with the recommendations of many learned au thorities and jurists from Lord Chancellor Bacon down wards, and would not fail to confer on the statesman who should devote himself to the task, the gratitude of his country. A discussion followed, in which the following took part, the Bishop of Oxford, Mr. Slaney, Mr. Lumley. Dr. Waddileve, Mr. Newmarch, Mr. Jellicoe, and Dr. Guy. of Lieutenant G. M. Morgan (Commanding), Cornet G. A. Muttlebury, Assistant-Surgeon Laurance (Grenadier Guards), 46 rank and file, and 46 horses, paraded in com plete service order in Portobello barracks, at 8 o'clock, a.m., on Saturday morning, a nd proceeded to Kings town, where they embarked on b oard the Burmah trans- Port, en route for the seat of war. On their leaving Por tobello barracks they were accompanied by the bands of stationed as follows : the Th 3d e ID6rtahgLooanneGersuaradres atnodble6th Lancers. Head-quarters and one troop and a half at Cahir ; one troop and a half at Limerick ; two troops at Cork ; a n d one at Clonmel. The dismounted men of the 3d Light Dragnons left Exeter on Thursday last, and proceeded by the Bristol and Exeter Railway to Bristol, whence they were to go on to Manchester 'the following day. The 4th Light Dragoons are now on their march to Exeter, where they will be quartered in the Cavalry barracks for some time. The head-quarters will be sta tioned at Dorchester. A detachment of the 6th (Enniskillen) Dragoons, in cluding the head-quarters, left Exeter, where they have been quartered for some time, on Friday, for Plymouth, where the transport Europa was in waiting to receive them. The men left the Topsham barracks shortly after 9 o'clock, and marched through the city amid the cheers of the inhabitants. The other portion of the regiment will leave Exeter in the course of a few days, their de parture only being delayed for the preparation of the transports in which they are to embark at Plymouth for Turkey. The following are the transports which have been engaged by the Government :—The Lord Raglan, 774 tons ; the Sutlej, 732 tons ; the Maria, 799 tons ; the Europa, 841 tons ; the Escort, 763 tons ; and the Talavera, 963 tons. Forty-one fine young lads, recruits for the Royal Ar tillery, joined head-quarters at Woolwich in the early part of the week from Northamptonshire. Orders have been issued to all the recruiting parties throughout the country to send the whole of the recruits to the garrison at Woolwich previous to the end of the present month. It is believed the order has been made preparatory to the:immediate augmentation of the Royal Artillery, by adding anotharior 14th, battalion to the corps. Up-. wards of-60 volunteers from - the Middlesex Militia have joined the Royal Regiment of-Artillery: Thirty-eight horses for the Royal Artillery, purchased by Lieutenant-Colonel Wingfield in -the- country, have been sent up_to head-quarters, and arrived yesterday.- They appear to be fine animals, and well adapted for the service. A part of Captain P. Maclean's company, Bth battalion of the Royal Artillery, disembarked at the Royal Arsenal at-5 o'clock part.; having come home in the Enterprise, of London, freight-ship; from China, in 136 days. The other part of the company are daily expected. The band ;.and drums and.fifei of the regiment were in waiting to play their up to the garrison. Three regiments are at present on. their way home from the East India!, having embarked in, the early part of A?ril last.

THE SU'N, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 185 4. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. A special meeting of this company was held at York on Saturday, Mr. James Pulleine in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been called in order that two bills now before Parliament should be submitted to the shareholders, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords. The first bill which he should submit was one which enabled this company to purchase the land upon which the Pontop and South Shields Railway had been formed ; and, having explained the provisions of the bill, he moved a resolution approving it, which was seconded by the Lord Mayor of York, and unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN said the next bill was to enable the company to construct docks at Jarrow Slake and a branch railway thereto, and to enable the Dean and Chapter of Durham to appropriate 5,0001. of the pur chase-money of some land for the endowment of a church. The quantity of land required was 140 acres, and the profitable sum to be expended was 300,0001. a sum that would soon be saved by the proposed altera tions. Having explained the operation of the various clauses, the chairman moved "the approval of the bill, which was seconded by Mr. Hunter, and adopted. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND. A special meeting of this company was held at York on Saturday. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. H. Thompson) said the bill which he had to submit was one in which their company was not directly interested. It was to incorporate a com-. pany for making a railway from near the Picton station, on the Leeds Northern line, to near the Grosmont sta tion, on Whitby and Pickering branch. The clauses which affected their company might be called protective and permissive. With reference to the operation of the new company, it was clear it would tend to improve the Whitby district, by giving access to large beds of iron stone, and render that town a more popular watering place. He concluded by moving the approval of the bill, which was seconded by Mr. Seymour, and carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. LEEDS NORTRE RN. A special meeting of this company was held at Leeds on Saturday, to consider the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Railway Bill now before Parliament, and to sanction the application of the capital of the company to the proposed undertaking to the extent of 30,0001. Mr. J. Kitson presided, and, after referring to the advantages likely to accrue to the Leeds Northern shareholders from the construction of the pioposed line, by the open ing out of the iron district of Cleveland, he proposed a resolution approving the bill, which was seconded by Mr. Durham, and carried unanimously. BELFAST AND BALLYMENA. The report of the directors states that the traffic re ceipts during the half-year ending the 30th of April. I4st amounted for paisengers to 10,5971., for parcels, horses, &c., to 5221., and for goods, mails, &c., to 8,8961.• 20,0151. The working expenses amou n t e d to 8,8961., and the interest on loans to 2,7221., leaving a disposable balance of 8,3631., out of which the directors recommend a dividend of 20s. per share, • which will amount to 7,7001., and an addition of 185/. to the reserve fund, making it 2,0001. for the year, and leaving 4781. to be carried forward to the credit of the next half-year. The increase iu the traffic as compared with the correspond ing period of last year amounted to 3,1571., or 181 per cent. The amount at the credit of the reserve fund is now 10,2161. The extension lines from Ballymena to Coleraine to Portrush, • and from Randalstown and Cookstown, are in progress. It appears from the bal ance sheet that the expenditure on the main line amounts to 516,6591., and on the CoOkstown extension to 4,8811. together 521,5401. The receipts on shares and loans amount to 493,2081., leaving 28,332/. due to the bankers on capital account. Appended to the report is a list of the shareholders, from which it appears there are, including the board of 16 directors, 269 shareholders, holding on the average paid-up capital of about 1,4001. each. Out of the' 269 shareholders, it ap pears, by a distinguishing - mark placed against the . names in the list, that there are 127 shareholders, includ ing the present board, who are 'eligible to be elected directors. This is one of the very few railway companies who publish a list of the shareholders with' each half yearly report. The dividend for the past yezir amounts to 41. 4s. per cent. PORT CARLISLE. The Government inspector is to go over the line this week; and, if the report is_favourable, the directors in tend opening it for pasSenger traffic on Saturday next, the'3d of June. NORTH - DEVON: _ . It is intended to open this iine for traffic on Saturday, July 1. Mr. Brassey, who has taken a lease of the line, has come to an arrangement with the Bristol and Txet l er Railway Company to work the Line for 12 months. REPORT OF COMMITTEES ON RAILWAY INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. The paper " On the Casualties of TUnnelling, with examples," by Mr. W. M. Peniston, M. Inst. C. E., was in reality a relation of the difficulties encountered in the formation of some tunnel headings through chalk and green sand, under a head of water, at Llolywell, on the line of the Wilts and Somerset Railway. The materials had been collected from the author's diary of the proceedings, and it had'been his intention to give many more details, as practical examples for the younger members of the profession, but with access to the excellent work on tunnelling, by Mr. Simms, it was feared that the communication might be deemed too prolix. It was intended that No. 1 tunnel should have been constructed in the usual manner, by sinking shafts, and connecting them by a bottom heading running through between open cuttings at the north and south ends ; there were, however, indications from the borings, of the ground being unfavoui able, the body of the tunnel being in chalk full of faults, whilst the cuttings at both ends were in green sand, and copious springs showed themselves along the line of operations, which were con ducted through strata generally dislocated, and not to be depended on. In sinking the shafts, the waterbrought away with it such quantities of sand as to create cavities around and produce serious failures in the timbering which required to be renenewed and replaced several times. Nu inerous con trivances were essayed for overcoming the difficulties, — gullets were cut at lower levels, in hopes of their draw ing off the water, but the tenacity of the soil and the numerous faults, precluded any chance of their being useful ; nothing but incessant pumping could therefore be relied upon ; but the consequence of this was, that the framing of the shaft sunk bodily, until it was retained by a hanging kerb and rods from the surface ; then, in spite of close sheathing planks, a lateral 'settlement occurred, and amidst' a recurrence of these accidents the shaft was carried down until the sand and water rose so rapidly in the bottom, that it was necessary to close it by a timber platform, through which the water rose to a certain level, whence it was pumped. Similar difficul ties were encountered in the other shafts, enhanced, in one case, by the frequent recurrence of boulders of sand stone, which occasioned much loss of time and inconve nience in extracting them, and left large cavities behind the sheathing. .The quantity of water also increased so much, that the briefest delay_ in pumping, obliged the pen to leave the headings. At length, it being observed, that the dip of the sand rook, which was the water-bearing stratum, was in such a direction as to induce the inference, that it might be used to convey the Water away by having it tapped at a lower level, the attempt was made, and was attended with success. In the'subsequent extension of the open cuttings, the numerous vertical faults were' shown to have been, in a great degree, the cause of the . slips in the shafts. In consequence of obseriations on the saturated strata, vwas determined t o t r y th e effect of a syphon, which as accordingly laid down ; it wag formed of cast-iron pipes, 6 inches diameter, the short leg dipping into a hole at the bottom of one of the shafts, whilst the long leg extended through the crown heading and terminated in a cistern in the north cutting. By means of a hand pump, at the upper bend, the air was exhausted, and the action was so perfect as to drain the blocks of sand enable the headings to be completed. Accounts were given of the numerous ingenious con trivances resorted to for overcoming difficulties, and also of the effects of the drainage upon the springs and wells in the neighbourhood. The various machines and de vices employed were described in. connection with all the tunnels ; in fact the paper was, as it professed to be, a detail of the casualties of tunnelling, under circumstances of considerable difficulty, - and it was well illustrated by a series of diagrams, showing the works in all stages of of their progress. It was again announced from the chair that the Presi dent's annual convprsazione .would be held on Tuesday evening, May 30th, when the co-operation of the mem bers and visitors was requested, in order that a collec tion of models of engineering construction, and of speci linens of works of art, worthy of the institution, might be made. At the monthly ballot, the fbllowing candidates were duly elected :—Mr. J. Quick, as a member ; Messrs. T. Bell, D. Chadwick, J. Falshaiv, W. Reid, and-S. E. Rosser, as associates.

On Monday last the session of the Provincial Parlia ment was closed by his Excellency Sir Edmund W. Head, Bart., &c., and in his speech to the House of Assembly a graceful allusion was made to this loyal offer. "I feel confident that her most gracious Ma jesty will highly value the loyal feeling which dictated your resolution, placing at my disposal the resourc S. of the province for the defence of the country and the honour of the British Flag." New Brunswick is well known to the mercantile world for the superiority and extentof its ship-building and export of timber, &c. ; to the public it is familiar front its having built the Marco Polo of world-wide fame. Indeed the best portion of the noble vessels engaged in the Australian as well as our East India and China trade are New Bruns wickers. Many a British soldier is now sailing to the field of martial glory in New Brunswick built transports; and the European and North American R tilvvay (now in course of construction by Messrs. Peto, Betts, Brassey, and Jackson) which connects the United States and Canadian Railways with Halifax, in Nova Scotia, the first part made by the Cunard steamers, when bound for America, is well known to flip various persons employed in the manufacture of iron tubing, railway iron, &c.; in this country. We notice, in referring to the last census, that New Brunswick " go . es'ahead"' of the neighbouring states of Maine, New Hampshire, - Vermont, and Massachusetts, including Boston- with its 137,000 inhabitants, in the increase of population during the last 11 years, by about 2 per cent.,' and - this is no small boast when the rapid rate of increase of population in America is considered, and she has-increased her own population during the same period nearly 26 per cent. This province is out of debt, like her sister province Canada, as declared by the Canadian Prime Minister, at the banquet given re cently in honour of the Earl of Elgin, previous to his departure for his Government of Canada on the 6th inst. ; and like her she is busily constructing her railways. It is therefore not an empty offer, when a rich and pros perous colony devotes its resources to. aid and assist us ; and we hope so good an example will be followed by others of our colonial dependencies, should any such as sistance be required.—New Brunswick paper of 4th May, 1854.

At the Congregation on Wednesday next, May 31, the following grace (among others) will be offered to the Senate : On the recommendation of the Press Syndicate, to authorise the Syndics of the Press to carry on the busi ness cf the press by means of a partnership with Mr. George Seeley, of Fleet-street, London, bookseller, and Mr. Charles John Clay, M.A., of Trinity College, and of Bread -street-hill, London, printer; and to settle (under the advice of counsel) a deed of partnership, which shall be submitted to the Senate for its approval. A report from the Syndics, together with " heads of agreement" which it is proposed to embody in the deed of partnership, will lie at the Registrary's office for in spection of members of the Senate on Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday, May 27, 29, and 30, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. It is intended to offer a grace to the Senate for affixing the seal to the deed of partnership on Monday, July 3. The University press and its management has for many years past been the subject of utter astonishment to th ose who have had the opportunity of seeing the yearly ba lance-sheet. A large establishment, involving immense property, with the presage of the University, has scarcely paid its expenses. It is to be hoped that the above grace will be carried, as there can be no doubt the press,' If properly managed, might be a .source of consider able emolument to the University. COUNTRY MARKETS.
