Throgmorton-street, E.C. - This Railway, of the length of 161 English miles, will con nect Dunaburg. the terminus of the Riga and Dunaburg Railway, with Viritepsk. The Line passes throu.:h one of the most productive districts of Russia, furnishing a large pro por ion of the exports from Riga; and, in facilitating the transport of produce of the rich and wheat growing pro vinces of Smolensk, Mohilew, as ursk, and Orel, will prove of the greatest importance both to England and Russia. In consequence of the absolute impossibility of forwarding goods at certain seasons of the year, and the very heavy charges at all times, a great pert of the produce of these lat ter provinces has hitherto been almost lost to exportation, or ava !able only in sea ons when the markets of %I estern Europe were approaching famine prices. Tne transport of the colonial and foreign produce required in this part of the interior, effected hitherto, to a great xtent, at heavy charges from St. Petersburg, will be carried on by means of this Rail way from Riga to Witepsk direct, and be thence distributed. There will also be a considerable passenger traffic, as the above-named provinces are amongst the most populous of the empire. This Railway will be the only convenient and expeditious route for the inhabitants both to St. Peters burg and Western Europe. The Russian Government, attributing special imrortance to the early construction of th s line, has granted a cmaces sion of the most favourable character, embracing privileges never before obtained. Among the distinguishing features of the concession are the following :- Ist. The Company is to be constituted according to English law, with the Board of Direction in London, and an Agency of three Directors in Riga. 2d. the Government guarantees the interest in sterling money, not, as in previous cases, in roubles. 3d The Government a so guarantees an additional sum payable half yearly, on the capital of £2,600,000, sufficient to redeem the whole capital at par in 85 ye •rs. 4th. Both the Interest and the sinking fund are payable half-yearly t fixed dates. sth. The net receipts of the line are appl cable in relief of the Government Guarantee ; but the Compady is authorised, in priority, to set apart 10 per cent. of such net receipts, to the extent of £lOO,OOO to form a reserve fund agsinst contin gencies. 6th. The shareholders are entitled to all net profits of the line, up to 6 per cent., on th e nominal nitagilor-eosf£_ They are further e n titl ed to one-half of capital urther y r is on re . over and above the 6 per c nt., until t e imbursed she moneys w hi c h i t may have p 'd tl svernmpent of the guaraiiteed interest b eyond the net after which reimbursement, the shareholders are entitled t o the whole of he net profits, whatever they may be. A contract for the execution o f the line of railway. by the 30th Novemher, 1867, with all necessary stations, buildings, and works, and for the supply of rollin ? stock, according to the specifications and requirements o' the Government, has been entered into by the concessionaires with Mes-rs. Peto and Betts, under the superintendent • and with the approval of Mr Hawkshaw, the eminent civil engineer, for a sum of £1.755,915. An arrangement has also been conclued, by which that contr ac t, t oge th er w ith the concession. is to b e made ever to the Company for the sum of £48,00, which sum covers all preli m i nary expenses incurred in Russia and in England, in connexion both with the concession and the caution money of £130,000 By these arrangements .the cost of the undertaking, as shown by the subjoined statement, has been brought within a sum of £2,143.615.

Ranger, who was nowhere in the Derby, wins as hard, if not a harder, race in France with ease; and Tim Whiffler, said to be another Eclipse in his speed and powers of staying, or, we should rather say, powers of going, runs a dead heat with Buckstone, and in the end Buckstone wins. Amid all the din and clang of betting yest, rday Tim Whiffler was the only horse who excited fear, and before whose name the odds shrunk down to zero. He walked quietly down the Course—beyond all doubt, one of the most perfect racers that ever trod the turf ; and s o a f m m e eatdavllai advantage Buckstone, a g g l e o sass though, u h p i o s n thesn scarcelyc sameeof showed hhoe may wa: d be said same e o almostth ebeautifu l f h ro i s m ctohaet rival. ahbe- The other horses, with the exception, perhaps, of " Caller Ou," s carcely excited notice, though Carisbrook went along with a stride which seemed to promise that if running was wanted he would cut out more than was agreeable for his oppo nents. The start was made, and Eleanor, who was to make the running for Tim Whiffler, led at once at a fearful pace. Quick as was the pace, however, Buckstone waited on Tim Whiffier throughout. After half the race was run Eleanor fell into the rear, having discharged her duty ; but, though Tim Whiffier still led, Buckstone was not shaken off, and step by step and stride by stride he gained upon the favou rite with a speed that was really wonderful to witness. Tim Whiffler made desperate efforts to retain his advantage, and kept Buckstone to his level as in a most exciting race they rushed along, amid the cheers of thousands, and passed the chair at such a pace as horses have seldom passed it before, and without the difference of a fraction of an inch between them. There was the usual confusion, and cheers and counter-cheers for b th horses, whom the supporters of each were confident had each won until the signal for a dead heat went up. This even Sunning made the second contest even more exciting. It was a wonderful race. Even after the long course and awful pace of the first contest both ani mals ran splendidly, but the wonderful power of Buckstone was not to be challenged by anythilig on the Heath that day, and, though the race was close, yet it was with seem ing ease that Tim Whiffler was beaten. A large force of the Metropolitan Police, chiefly from the famous A division, was on duty on the course, and main tained the most perfect order. Berkshire, however, has a constabulary of its own, and one would have thought that the assemblage of 100,000 people under the eyes of royalty was an occasion on which it might have been displayed. Either, however, it had executed a retrogade movement upon Abingdon—of course, from purely strategical reasons—or was massed to overawe the turbulent population of llsley Downs, or perhaps, having just lost its chief, who has been promoted to the command of the City police, it has disbanded itself, and only attended the races incog.—certainly not one individual of the force could be discovered. and the result was the greatest disorders all round the course beyond the reach of the Metropolitan Police. The heath was fired in several places, and in one case the flames extended to a plantation of tall firs, which were entirely destroyed. The gardens in the neighbourhood were overrun and plun dered, and no attempt was made to keep the road traffic in order. If Berkshire is to support a police, there never was more occasion for its service, and never were its duties more conspicuously neglected. The following are the details of each race : A.

These mishaps gave a long lead to Petersham, who with the Glance colt went on with a long lead, followed by Kangaroo to the mile-post, where Petersham bolted, leav ing the lead with Glance colt, who came into the straight with a slight lead. Half way up Ashmall brought up the favourite, and won in a canter by a length and a half. Petersham was a wretched third. Kangaroo did not pass the post. TELLERS. Brand, H. B. Knatchbull-Hugess SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE CUP DAY AT ASCOT. The glories of Ascot culminated yesterday. The year of the "dead heat," the year of the first visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales, will long be remembered as having brought together the moat brilliant assemblage that ever mustered on this picturesque heath, will long be remem bered as marking the transition period when Ascot, like the Derby, begins to yield to the invasion of railways and the Democracy. Already Ascot is changed from what it used to be—a great fashionable promenade, where ladies thronged the course—when Ascot meant a real picnic, with the races as an excuse for making it. It had all these ele ments yesterday, but mixed with them were others which showed that the popularity of the great race is extending its influence beyond the limited circle of the Upper Ten Thousand. The Ascot is to the Derby what genteel comedy is to broad farce. All London goes to the Derby ; only the West-end goes to Ascot. Little dolls and false noses have scarcely penetrated the fir-clad hills which surround the heath. A "spree" at Ascot takes the form of a sumptuous dejeuner even the itinerant Bedouins, who lead a life of races, are subdued in tone and gesture, and make more money by selling beautiful bouquets than with "card and pencil " The very niggers feel the softening influence, and the Derby melodies, as broad as they are long, become at Ascot chansons comiques of irreproachable propriety and dullness. There are gipsies, and " three rows a penny" prosper in a mild and genteel way; but acrobats, we should think, must tumble from a pure love of art or from such philanthropic motives as form their own reward, for, assuredly they get but very little other. We find none of the characteristic features of the Derby Day at Ascot, except in their mildest and most aristocratic forms—it is a large fashionable party on the heath, a party which as sembles on the Cup Day to "meet everyone one knows.' Yesterday, indeed, alll the fashionable world were per sent, and since the " Cup" was first run for there never has been such a gathering on the Heath. A great number came down by the South-Western, where, considering that there was the usual anxiety displayed by everybody to go by the first train, matters were admirably managed, and those who were fortunate enough to get early seats suddenly derived the greatest enjoyment from witnessing the un availing efforts cf others to procure the same accommoda tion, though, as is not unfrequently the case, while they themselves were disappointed suitors they had quite failed to regard the little scramble from such a jocose point of view. At last, however, all were comfortably got off, and soon, which is saying a great deal when it is remembered that there were upwards of 5,000 more visitors went down Ly rail on this occasion than have ever been despatched on any previous Cup Day, Of course, a very large number also went by road, but these were Ascot road visitors. No doubtful teams and overloaded vans—no "gay" animals with vicious eccentricities; no jibbing brutes, capable of indefinite entanglement with the traces on the shortest notice, and always ready to back into the stream of vehicles behind. In their stead were the well kept barouches or stately four-in-hands crowded inside with ladies, whose oyerflowing toilettes bloomed out of the windows in soft piles of ineffable millinery, looking in brightness and in colour like the loads which are despatched by nurserymen to take first prizes at a flower show. The Stand was crowded, not only in the Stand itself, but in the enclosure in front—so thronged that there was little more than stand ing room in any part of it. Even the minor and supple mentary Stands on either side were filled before one o'clock in the day, and thousands who were willing to pay for seats sought for them everywhere in vain. Never probably on any Cup Day has there been a more brilliant or a more aristocratic assemblage. The fun of the course was en tirely of the quiet and recherche order we have indicated. There were a few fluent sharpers in gorgeous liveries like my lord's best-kept best serving man, who had been suddenly ordered by their noble masters to leave the carriage and sell sovereigns for sixpences—a mode of doing good and benefiting the community which might be singular, but, as they avowed, was not less praiseworthy, as indeed the country people seemed to think until they made a purchase. There were monkeys in wonderful toilettes and ample crinolines, like Lady Gullivers iu Brobdignag ; there were well-dressed ballad-singers, with here and there quick little men, all eyes, wno drove a furtive trade with peas and thimbles, supported by a man in gaiters and broad-brimmed hat, and generally counterfeiting honesty, who won all the money, and grinned from ear to ear in true agricultural abandon till a loud voice called out " hedge" as a patrol drew near, when they all saw friends in different directions, and went after them on the instant. All, however, was very quiet, and perfectly en ragle. No noise, no hubbub, no loud clanging of the bell and ruthless clearing of the course, but " Ladies, by your leave; gentlemen, the horses are coming; do pray keep outside the ropes," and so on. A.

At the third attempt they left the post, in close company, but after running a few strides Gem of the Sea, going in the centre of the course, drew in advance, having Perseverance, Vindicta, Erin-go. Bragh, and the Senorita colt as her im mediate followers, the latter lying wide on the stand side. On reaching the Stand Gem of the Sea drew away ; the Senorita colt at the same time took the second place, but failed to reach the leader, who won very cleverly by a neck; half a length between the second and third. Etin-go-Bragh was fourth, Perseverance fifth, Brother to Rubini sixth, Imposition and King of Italy being the next two ; the last two were Duchess of Kent and Vaulter.

I hey ran nearly in a line to the foot of the hill, where The Orphan, lying wide on the left, took up the running, with the favourite in the centre, having Knight of Snow don, Master Richard, and the Naughty Boy's dam colt lying up with him. Approaching the old Stand the favourite came out and won in a canter by a length, twice that dis tance separating the second and third, and a head between third and fourth. Glendusk was fifth, Procella sixth, R ose .. neath seventh, and Baldwin next. The last three were Gentilhomme, Airedale, and The Orphan. Immediately after the race 10 to 1 was taken in hundreds about the winner, but subsequently 9 to 1 was the highest offer.

Eleanor, for the purpose of serving h er stable comp anion immediately rushed to the front, and made play at her best pace, the favourite going on second, with Carisbrook and Buckstone third and fourth, and Hurricane and Caller Ou lying away. On passing the Stand, Buckstone ran past Mr. Boyce's colt, and went on in waiting upon the two leaders to the foot of the hill, where the pace somewhat decreased, and on approaching the lime kilns Tim Whiffler joined his stable companion, the pair running in company to the old mile post, where the filly was disposed of, and was seen in a few strides after in the extreme rear, leaving the command with. Tim Whiffler, who came on with a decided lead to the road, where Buckstone drew for ward, Carisbrook still lying third, Caller Ou at the same time quitting her rearward position, and taking the fourth place. Rounding the bend for home the two leaders ap peared to get upon closer terms, and as they approached he distance eh, uts arose from the stand of " Whiffler wins," but which were speedily superseded by the shouts of the partisans of the yellow jacket and black cap as Buck. stone reached his antagonist at the enclosure, the balance of favour, as the two ran locked together to the end, remain ing equal until the fiat of the judge (who was unable to separate them) was made manifest by the exhibition of the numbers 4 and 5 side by side, making it a dead heat. Hurricane, who ran past the others, who pulled up, was placed third by the judge, although beaten off a long way. The other trotted past the post at similar intervals. The race wad run in 4 min. 381 sec.

ALEXANDER, THE FIRST CLASS WOKINGHAM STAKES.—Upon the publication of the weights for this handicap, Lord Bate man directed his filly the Queen of Trumps should be struck out. authorised to negotiate with the authorities of Bethlehem. Those gentlemen not only did not desire to leave their present building, but they had ❑o authority whatever to part with it. Mr. BAGGALLEY (the treasurer) begged to state that the a.uthoritirs of Bethlehem Hospital did at a General Court affirm the principle that they were anxious to go into the country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ADAMS replied that no such proposition from those authorities had ever been placed before that court. The PRESIDENT then rose and said he wished to claim the indulgence of the Court while he briefly adverted to a letter which appeared in the news papers of that morning, and which was deserving of some attention, inasmuch as it had reference to one of their own body, and also to other mat ters concerning the proceedings which bad taken place between the hospital and the rail way company. The letter referred to charges made by the surveyors acting for the hospital in its recent disputes with that company. When he saw Mr. Tite (to whom the letter personally referred) he asked that gentle man whether he would like to make any statement to him as President of the hospital ; and after con sideration Mr. Tite had authorised him to state, in answer to the allegations contained in the letter, that the charges said to have been made by the sur veyors were by law payable, not by the hospital but by the railway company, that the amounts were to be settled by the arbitrator, who had not to the pre sent time given any decision or any opinion what ever on the subject. In justice to Mr. Tite he (the President) had to state that that gentleman had never taken one shilling for any professional services ren dered to the hospital during a long period of years ; and that when he was requested to assist the go vernors with his professional advice, and to give evi dence on their part in this case, he told the treasurer that whatever sum might be paid to him by the rail way company would be given to increase the en dowment instituted by him in that hospital several years ago for the encouragement and promotion of the medical school ; but that he would decline to receive i❑ this case, as in all previous cases, one shilling from the funds of the hospital in any way whatever. Mr. ELLIOTT asked wnether the statement just made by the President was intended to be an answer to the statement published in the newspapers ? The PRESIDENT—Quite so. Mr. ELLIOTT said he hand no hand whatever in writing that statement, but ne begged to ask whe ther it was not the fact that £B,OOO had been claimed for professional services, which must be paid by somebody, either by Bethlehem Hospital or by that charity ? Was it not the fact that £1,050 had already been paid out of the Hospital fund to Mr. Hunt, who would not wait ? He was too good a judge to stand all those protocols that had had passed. Was it not a fact that Mr. Tite had made a claim ? Mr. TITE begged to be heard. He knew nothing of these statements. He had nothing whatever to do with them. He was asked whether he would give evidence to the court ; he said yes, but upon one condition, that whatever sums might be awarded to him for his services (and he saw no reason why he should work gratuitously for a railway—(hear, hear)•—he should be permitted to hand it over to the fund he had some years ago created for the promo tion of the medical school of the hospital. It' there must be an arbitration so must there also be sur veyors on both sides. This had been thecase in the present instance, and charges, had been made on both sides, which charges were now under the con sideration of the proper parties appointed for that purpose. Alderman SYDNEY, without wishing to suppress anything that might assume the character of a charge against any member of that court who might be fairly amenable to such charge, yet he would on that occasion prefer hearing the report of the Grand Committee. Mr. BROOKES thought if there was anything in the nature of a charge against Mr. Tite, that gen tleman being so wall able to answer for himself, the sooner the charge was answered one way or the other the better it would be for all concerned. Mr. ELLIOTT said he only intended to offer a few words that might have afforded some vindication of a statement which had evidently been written by a man who knew a great deal about the matter on which he was writing. That letter broadly stated that a claim had been sent in for 1;740 by Mr. Tite, and by Mr. Clifton (as we understood) for £740, he having been up to a recent period a partner of Mr. Tite. Mr. TITS denied that that gentleman had ever been his partner, or that he had ever been connected with him in any way. He was an honourable and honest man, but if he had received £lO,OOO for his services he (Mr. Tite) would have had nothing to do with it. The subject then dropped, and The general report of the committee was read. It stated that on the 20th of January last the Grand Committee communicated to the governors the par ticulars and plans of seven sites :-1. Bethlehem Hospital ; 2. Fishmongers' Company's land, Wal worth ; 3 and 4. Surrey Gardens; 5. Land behind Newington Church; 6. Myatt's Ground, Camber well New-road ; and 7. Lambeth Thames Embank ment. The Grand Committee reported that they expected the concurrence of the general court, that it was useless to press their negotiations with Bethlehem Hospital further. At the same time the committee did not regret the delay which these negotiations had occasioned, the object being to benefit two great charities. The Fishmongers' Com pany's land had been disposed of; the land behind Newington Church was a site possessing great ad vantages, and there was no doubt that it was only second in value to the site of Bethlem Hospital ; but the Court had been already informed that it could not be obtained without Parliamentary com pulsory powere, and the committee had been ad vised that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain such powers. In respect to the Lambeth Thames Embankment that proposition had been withdrawn. The Surrey Gardens were two feet below high-water mark, and contained about 141 acres, but there were about 40 houses in the neigh bourhood which when purchased would increase the quantity of land to about 17 acres. There was no difficulty likely to occur with the parties to whom the land belonged, but at the same time it was appre hended that great delay and large expense might be occasioned by reason of the number of persons whose interests would have to be purcha sed i • acres, purchase money,including expenses, forewas the rather l was estimated at £116,000. more than a mile and a quarter Thisr li London,t Black friars, and Westminster bridges; and i there was a and Castle.

This site was 21 mi es from London and Blackfriars bridges, and rather a less distance from Westminster bride. It was within the radius that seemed to have been prescribed by some of the parishes. The land at Newing ton available for a hospital was about 14 acres. It was situated nearest to the ancient site and would have the advantage of a frontage to a new road con necting Kennington and Westminster bridge roads. It was about the same level as Bethlehem. The estimated cost, in the event of compulsory powers being obtained, would amount to 190,000. The re port concluded by giving the statistics of the tern porary hospital at Surrey-gardens. From Sept. 15, 1862, to March 31, 1863, inclusive, there had been 215 accidents ; 90 of those patients would appear to have come from districts north of the Surrey-gar dens, extending to Wandsworth, Vauxhall, Clap ham, Camberwell, &c.; and 7 patients came from AGENCY DEPARTMENT.

A general Court of the Governors of this Hos pital was held yesterday at the London-bridge Railways Terminus Hotel to receive a report of the proceedings of the Grand Committee in continuing the negotiation with the governors of Bethlehem Hospital, and also to receive the Grand Commit tee's suggestions with a view to prevent any further delay in fixing on a site for a new hospital. Sir John Musgrove, President of the Hospital, took the chair, and there were about 50 governors present. The minutes of the last General Court and of the proceedings of the Grand Committee since the 21st of April last were read and approved. A long correspondence between the Grand Com mittee and the authorities of Bethlehem Hospital was also read. Mr. BROOKES considered that the committee had lost much valuable time in communicating with the authorities after the very decided resolution that body had come to not to cede to St. Thomas's Hos pital the site on which their building stood. Alderman DAKIN asked whether the committee had had their attention drawn to a site in West square which had been mentioned by Messrs. Poole and Gamlen, and which probably might be found as convenient as the site at Bethlehem Hospital itself. Mr. BAGGALLEY (the treasurer) said he knew the firm to which the worthy alderman had referred, and also the locality he had spoken of. There were about 126 houses on the site, letting at £4O, £5O, and £6O a year, and they covered two streets. Still, the question was an open one. Alderman DAKIN said the owner of the property would be a willing vendor. The PRESIDENT said in reference to the extent of the property (which was a point always to be borne in mind) he believed it was about seven and a half acres. Mr. SOUTH (the retired surgeon of St. Thomas's Hospital, and who attended for the first time as a governor) said be had no doubt the gentleman who owned the property was anxious to be a vendor. He (Mr. South) knew the property well, and it was, in his opinion, as unfitting a position for a hospital as as any that could be found. Alderman DAKIN thought it a great pity that their architect, Mr. Correy, and the professional gentleman connected with Bethlehem Hospital had not conferred together before any plan had been prepared by the former gentleman. The PRESIDENT — That was sought by the com mittee again and again, but was often refused by the authorities of Bethlehem. Alderman DAKIN said, after looking at the plan proposed by Mr. Correy, that there appeared to him to be such a mixing together of apartments and arrangements, that the whole thing seemed never intended to be successfully carried out. Mr. TITE, M.P., agreed with the worthy alder man that there ought to have been greater harmony between the two bodies. In the first instance the Grand Committee proposed as the natural course to be taken, if it were meant to come to a conclusion on the subject, that the architects should meet and discuss the general nature of the arrangements re quired ; because it was impossible to come to any conclusion with which they could approach the Court of Chancery or the Leglislature until they knew what to lay before those tribunals. But the general resolution with whioh they were met by the Bethlehem authorities was that Mr. Correy might prepare a plan, but that they declined to come to any arrangement in respect to it, as it was impos sible to come to any conclusion as to what the build ing of a new Bethlehem Hospital would cost. Mr, Correy had no alternative but to prepare the plan he had submitted to the committee, and that gen- tleman was not obnoxious in the least degree to any of the remarks which had been made upon the subject of that plan. As to the accom modation affurded by that plan not being sufficient, when it was so stated, the Grand Committee said they would make one more attempt, and accord ingly they observed to the Bethlehem authorities that it was no use going on talking and writing, and losing time ; and then asked them whether they would meet the Treasurer of St. Thomas's Hospital, and sit down and look at the whole question as practical men. The answer to that was, that a similar proposition had been negatived before, and that the President and Treasurer could not enter taro the matter of themselves, but that it must be submitted to the usual Court. Having then made this very reasonable offer, and which had not been met with common courtesy, the committee consi dered that there was no intention on the part of the authorities of Bethlehem that the committee should obtain the site of that hospital for the p urposes which they and the General Court desired. Mr. J. ADAMS said, that what had been stated proved the inconvenience resulting from unautho rised negotiations being commenced. The Grand Committee of St. Thomas's Hospital was never °'-.--,'' -_ ~~~ ~~~ INEWSP.PER /;41.141-IWe alLtc,_ _ .r.,%.10 . 1g . ,, ) country districts.

The rep f cilt, ...: eluded by stating that, with reference to the • - 1104' i sr site, the Grand Committee had faithfully poi K 11. S out the advantages and disadvantages of the three sites now left for the consideration of the court. If the Newington site could be obtained the committee unhesitatingly preferred it, but failing that, they saw but little difference between the Surrey-gar dens and Myatt's•ground. Mr. TirE rose to move that the report be received and printed, and that it be taken into consideration that day fortnight. In the course of his observa tions as to the eligibility of the different sites pro posed, the hon. gentleman said there was a piece of land at Newington which seemed to cembine all that was desirable, and to meet the views of all parties; but owing to circumstances connected with the proprietorships it would be necessary to obtain compulsory powers before they could pur chase that land, and a serious question arose as to whether Parliament would grant such powers to a body which sought them merely for the purposes of charity. It was, however, a right thing to do, and if they were bucked up by the press he entertained a strong hope that they would succeed. Alderman SYDNEYseconded themotion, and hoped that the Court would assemble again in a fortnight's time, and finally determine upon some one of the sites on which the new hospital should be erected. // Mr. GREY said the question for the Court to con sider was what site would best suit the poorer classes, and not what would be most convenient for the medical men. It would be better to pay these gentlemen a compensation for any loss they might sustain than to deprive the people of the advantages of a well selected site for the charity. Alderman W. LAWRENCE recommended every governor to inspect the different sites and judge for himself, and then come in a fortnight's time and determine the question. Aiderman DAKIN suggested that the statistics of the old hospital should be appended to the report. After some further discussion, in which Mr. Elliott, Mr. South, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Pidgeon, Mr. Adams, Mr. Garling, Mr. W. Cotton, and other gentlemen took part, the motion was agreed to. Mr. ADAMS said he understood the general sen timent of the people of Southwark, as expressed at the late meeting held on the subject, was in favour of a spot as near the Elephant and Castle as possible. An instruction to the Grand Committee that they should ascertain whether compulsory powers could be obtained for thepurehasing of land at Newington was adopten. A GOVERNOR asked whether it would not be better to postpone the next meeting till after the Bethlem Board had met ? The PRESIDENT said he believed the obtaining of the site of Bethlem Hospital was hopeless ; they had better, therefore not postpone their meeting any further. The meeting was then adjourned till the 23d inst. Trial Trip of a Supposed Confederat Steamer, the Southerner, WEST HARTLEPOOL, Wednesday Night. Public interest has been for some time directed to a vessel building in the Tees at the yard of Messrs. W. Pearse and Co. (formerly Pearse and Lockwood). It was currently reported that this ship was intended for war purposes, and with the object of following in the steps of the notorioas Alabama. All kinds of reports referring to her have been in circulation, one affirming that she had extra thick iron plates, another that arms and ammunition were to be sur reptitiously supplied to her, a fourth affirming that she was fitted to carry troops, and, lastly, that she had a fighting crew engaged. It appears, however, that none of these reports could be proved, es the authorities have permitted the vessel co leave the river. She left her moorings at Stockton with the spring tide at 3.30 p.m. on Tuesday, and dropped down the river to Middlesborough without diffi culty; with the high tide of the following morning she got over the bar and ran up to Hartlepool Bay, from whence she started on her trial trip 7.30 a.m. this morning. The Southerner, for that is her name, is a pretty looking iron screw-steamer, 310 feet long from figure-head to stern, and 38 feet broad amidships ; registered tonnage, 2,000 tons. Her engines, made by Messrs. Fossick and Hackworth, of Stockton, have direct action ; 300-horse power, fitted with superheating and feed-heating apparatus; the diameter of the cylinders is 60 inches, and the length of the stroke 33 inches. She is expected to attain a speed of 12 knots an hour. The vessel has been about 12 months in building, and was launched on March '7 —the day when the Princess Alexandra entered London. She is built for Messrs. Fraser, Trenholme, and Co., of Liverpool. There is a spacious saloon extending the whole width of the ship, and accommodation for about 90 first-class passengers is provided. There are also deck-cabins amidships for the butcher, baker, cook, Sc. There are twelve furnaces, and a multitubular boiler. The crockery, saloon-plate, cutlery, and cabin fittings bear the figure of the Palmetto, and the letters C.S.C., which is under stood to mean " Charleston Steam Company." Ar rangements are made for warming and ventilating the cabins, which are neatly fitted up. The plates of the ship's side are stated to be of the ordinary thickness, and the purpose of the ship is declared to be " purely mercantile." The Southerner, it appears, was ordered when it was supposed that the war in the States would be quickly over ; but there being no trade to Charleston, she is reported to be intended to ply in the Mediterranean trade. She has been built under the superintendence of Mr. Butcher, of the Royal Naval Reserve, who took out the Alabama, and who now takes command of this vessel, the first officer being Mr. James Mit chell, and the second Mr. Jones. Both of these gentlemen, as well as the boatswain, served, we be lieve, under Capt. Butcher before. The Southerner, with the Palmetto flag flying at the mizen and a flag bearing her name at the main, left the outside of the harbour at 7.30 a.m. this morning, and steered due south, as far as Scar borough. The party, which consisted of u pwards of 70 ladies and gentlemen besides the crew, break fasted and dined on board, returning to West Hart lepool at 3.30 p.m., and entering the inner harbour with safety. During the trip the most beautiful weather pre vailed, and beyond a ground swell the sea was per fectly calm. The speed attained was 121 knots, and the engine acted with great ease considering that it was the first time of trial. The Southerner will have her compasses adjusted in the bay of Hartle pool, an d also have some further addition s made to fittings, Bc.c. She will then, it i s expected teed to Liverpool, where she will t a k e her regular h p e o r o , c rew on board and proceed t o h er destination. pro- I wonder how a coroner lives, moves , being without b e i ng terrified lestateveryantdurhnassohmise little unforeseen occurrence may not bri ng a b r oth er coroner were continually an to sit upon hi mse l f.
