Its perusal is particularly recommended to pne rtaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are COI2SeIOUS of having hazarded the health, happiness, and eetitled. privileges to v;hich every human being is It Is absolutely necessary thatall men ehonld know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without 'finning grievous penalties, and es hen wisdom and regret succeed the heyd a y o f inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness May be removed, • an d how the e vil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Luoe arrived at his home in Yon kers on Monday night, at half-past 9 o'clock. He.eamizi down from Troy in the Albany express train, and every where along the line of the, railroad was receiied with the greatest demonstrations ofjoy. He arrived in Troy by the Northern line about half-past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, where a company of 2,000 citizens were as sembled to receive him. .When he came forth from the train, an enthusiastic shout 'went up from the assembled mass that made the welkin ring throughout the entire city. Ile was overwhelmed with the congratulations of the numerous friends who rushed upon him; to grasp hint by the hand and 'congratulate him on his safe de liverance from the perils o' the deep. Having no time to wait, the gallant captain could do no more than simply think his various friends for their interest his safety. Tbeeramtmedeft -Albany -at-' firs "o!cloc)s. where there was another company at the depot aesembleed to receive him. As soon as he arrived here, from hun dreds came the shout, "Nine cheers for the gallant tar who would not desert his ship." Cheer fellowtid cheer, given with all the enthusiasm of the soul, till the train was lost in the distance. At every stopping place along the line of the railroad the same scene was enacted. At some places where the ears did not stop, hundreds were assembled to give him three 'cheers as he passed by, At Hudson there was a verT large meeting, and the rush into the cars to get a glimpse at the rescued commander soon crowded them from the locomotive to the rear car. All appeared to be mad with delight at the preservation and return of him who resolved " to stand by his vessel till she sunk." Captain Luca stopped at Yonkers, with one or two of his companions, rescued from the Arctic. He looks much careworn, naturally to be expected from the load of grief which has weighed him down. Mr. G. F. Allen came in company with Captain Luce, but not stopping at Yonkers, he continued on to the city. The public heart bleeds in sympathy with him, who returns so sadly to his home, leaving his wife, child, and many relatives buried in the sea. About half an hour before his arrival, at least 500 'of his townsmen—among whom were a large number of his intimate friends—assembled in front of the depot to wel come him. Although the first intention of the people, on hearing the news of his safety, was to receive him with the ringing of bells and the firing of guns, their better judgment, and the thought that many valuable lives were lost, caused them to moderate the expression of their joy On his return to a home to which it was believed he was lost for ever. The train was detained on the road about ten minutes beyond the usual time, and the people were becoming a little impatient, when the sound of the approaching locomotive was heard. In an instant they formed in two lines, while Judge Woodworth, James Scriinser, and other intimate friends, proceeded to the cars to welcome him. After the congratulations—which were few, but sincere—were over, Captain Luce was conducted through the lines, every man in which took off his hat. Not a cheer was given, nor was there any outward expression of rejoicing, but the tears which be dewed the eyes of many told how deep was the feeling ofjoy which pervaded the crowd. After passing through the line and receiving the silent but expressive congratu lations of his friends, he was conducted to a carriage which conveyed him to his home. The crowd, with a feeling of delicacy which did them credit, stopped when they came within about a hundred feet of his residence, and only a few friends accompanied him to the door. There they left him ; who can express the in tense joy of her who was plunged into such profound grief by the news of the terrible &raster ? No one intruded upon the sacred privacy of that meeting, but after seeing him. to his home the multitude immediately dispersed. We understand that Captain Luce was in the city yes terday, and visited the office of Messrs. E. K. Collins and Co., in Wall-street ; and under the impression that he would meet his friends on 'Change to receive their congratulations for his safety, a larger gathering than usual was present at the usual Lour of convening. But out of delicacy towards the heroic captain, who had not had time to recover, either mentally or phy.ically, from his late awful sufferings, he was advised to postpone the meeting of his friends to another opportunity. When he left town he went to Mr. Collins s residence, at New Rochelle. On Sunday, the kith inst., the churches were thronged in every nook and corner by crowds of people eagerly listening to the expatiations of di vines upon the loss of the Arctic. The Rev. Dr. Cheever delivered an eloquent and impressive ser mon at the Church of the Puritans, and passed a severe censure upon the cowardly conduct of the firemen and sailors of that vessel, and said that men might as well put themselves in the care of pi rates on the Atlantic as trust to those who, in im minent danger, will cut away the boats for them selves and leave the passengers to sink, without so much as aiding even in the construction of a raft for their possible salvation. The reverend gentle man concluded by passing a high eulogium on the public and private virtues of Mr. Samuel M. Wood ruff, one of the lost passengers, and a member of his congregation. lilftra.3ENlA.R, protected by Royal Letters 1..

The Heels, 6, paddle•wheel steam-sloop, Captain W. H. Hall, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Baltic. She reports the near approach to this port of the sailing ships of the fleet with Rear-Admiral Plum ridge, with which she parted company on Saturday last about 180 miles from the Downs. They consist of the Neptune, 120 (bearing Rear-Admiral Plumridge's flag), Captain F Hutton ; St. George, 120, Captain H. Eyres, C.B. ; Prince Re g ent, 90, Captain 11. Smith ; and Monarch, 84, Captain J. E. Erskine. These vessels left Elsinore with the Hecla ou the 14th inst., the last named vessel towing the St. George out to sea, and the Driver, 6, paddle, the Neptune. The other two vessels got away under sail. Driver accompanied the squadron to Scor lighthouse, off the Norwegian coast, and then returned. The Heels, prior to leaving Elsinore, had put a supply of bullocks on board the sailing ships. When she left them at the above-named distance from the D ,wns, tho wind was blowing fresh, but was con trary for them. The Hecla possesses numerous and important evi dences of the prominent part she played at Boniarsund and in almost every other fray with the enemy in the Baltic. She has several shots in her sides, which are tightly embedded there, whilst sho has numerous shot holes through which the shots have entered the vessel, and it is only wonderful that numbers of her men were not killed by them. Some of these shots, after break ing through the sides of the ship, passed through as many as four or five cabins, knocking down doors, bulk heads, &c., in their course. Her mainmast was struck below by a shot that entering the side of the vessel passed through a party of seamen, who were sitting down to their dinner. The funnel and steam pipe have a num ber of shot holes in them. In all these cases the shot fired by the enemy were 32-pounder shots. But with marks of rifle shots the Hecla is covered, and these appear to have been most deadly missiles. A vast number of these marks aro in the neighbour hood of the paddle-boxes and paddle-box bridge as though the enemy had a particular design against the captain of the ship, who was invariably stationed on the paddle-boxes whilst the ship was in action. One spot is particularly pointed out with satisfaction. This is where a shell fell among a number of men, but which, it will be recollected, a young officer, Mr. Lucas, had the pre sence of mind and courage to pick up and throw over board before it had done any injury. On the whole, the Hecla was engaged with the enemy more than any other vessel of the fleet. She was seven times under fire, and on an average three hours each time. Tier exploit at Ekness is well remembered. In addition to the dangers she ran from the enemy's fire, the Heels, encountered others arising from the shallow waters, in which she ven tured in her collisions with the enemy, or in executing the important duty of piloting the heavier vessels through difficult passages. It is said she has been on shore at least thirty times ; she has, however, been reported offi cially as on shore seventeen times. Her false keel is knocked away, and she leaks very seriously. She will come into harboar to make good her defects. It is ex pected that Captain Hall will be appointed to the Blen heim, 60, screw. THE FLOATING BATTERIES. It is stated that Government has entered into a con tract for the manufacture of about 2,000 tons (worth 50,0001.) of enormous slabs or plates made of the best scrap iron, with which powerful floating batteries are to be covered, so as effectually to render them proof against the heaviest shot the Russians can throw. These plates vary from II to 12 feet in length, are from 21 to 36 inches broad, and about ft inches thick. Each plate will weigh from about a ton and a half to upwards of three toils ; and, after being fitted, they are to be bolted to the out side of the floating batteries. From experiments it ap pears that iron plates of the scantling here mentioned not only resist the heaviest shot, but break them in pieces when they strike. So urgent are the authorities to have the batteries ready for active operations against Russia in the spring, that the contract has been divided amongst the principal makers in Gl.sgow, Newcastle, Low Moor, and other places in the north of England. The death of Rear• Admiral John Leith promotes Capt. Wm. Conway Courtenay, superintendent of the Royal Victualling Yard at Gosport, and Naval Hond tal at Haslar, to the rank of rear-admiral, and makes those appointments vacant. Capt. Kellett is-spoken of as to succeed Capt. Austen in the Admiralty Packet-office, at Southampton. The officers and men of the Royal Clarence Victual ling Establishment, Gosport, under the superintendence of Capt. Courtenay, have each subscribed handsomely towards the Patriotic Fund. The staff of the establish. ment is but a small one, but up to yesterday upwards of 241. was put down. The officers and men of the Royal Naval Hospital Establishment at Haslar, also under the superintendence of Capt. Courtenay, have in like man ner subscribed a day's pay towards the fund. By the death of Rear-Admiral John Leith, the command of both these important naval posts becomes vacant, Cap tain-Superintendent Courtenay having attained his flag. He will leave a general feeling of regret behind. The Clarence-yard is in full operation night and day to meet the demands of the war. There were upwards of 14,500 bags of biscuit alone in store yesterday. The Walmer Castle, hired transport, was completed yesterday with a full cargo of victualling supplies from the Clarence stores for the depot at Malta, and the Robert Small arrived yesterday and cxnmenced loading with a similar cargo for the same destination. MILITARY. DESPATCH OF TROOPS FOR THE EAST. - Colonel Scott is expected here from Manchester for the purpose of inspecting the steamers Otto wa. and Cleopatra, be longing to the Canadian Steam Navigation Company, which have been fitted up by Mr. John Laird, of Bir kenhead, for the conveyance of troops to the seat of war in the East. The Cleopatra will take out about 650 troops, besides officers ; and the Ottawa will have accommodation for 550 men, in addition to officers. Both steamers have been fitted up in a very superior manner, affording accommodation that will insure both comfort and health to the troops on the voyage. who will be made up of dotachmeates, Sh ou ld the whole o f the ordnance stores arrive here b y Tlittredayi the troop THZ LOSS OF THE ARCTIC. The follewinz additional particulars in reference to this disastrous accident, furnished by Captain Luce to the reporters of the American journals, will be read with melancholy interest by the relatives and friends of those passengers who were s• suddenly launched into eter nity :—Durilg the time succeeding the discovery that the vessel roust inevitably be lost, a young man, named Stewart Holland, an engineer under instruction, had been constantly firing a cannon. About 10 to 15 minutes pri)r to the vessel's sinking, he discovered that further efforts in that direction were useless, and, as he fired the gm for the last time, young Dr. Waring ap proached Captain Luce and shook him warmly by the hand, and said to him, "Captain, should you - ever live to reach tie land, let the world know that here's one man who hts done his duty bravely." Captain Luce re plied that le knew it. A more brave and self-sacrificing being that this young man Captain Luce states he never says. Mr. Babcock and his lady, of this oity, were on deck also up to the last moment. Mrs. Bab cock had been lying sick during most of the passage. "I think," said Captain Luce, "that I shook hands with then both." He thought "that Mr. M'Cracken and his sister, Mrs. Scott, were on the upper deck also." Mr. Allen thought, at the time, that he saw Mr. Catherwoed there, but, upon being questioned by Cap tain Luce last evening, he could not call to mind whether le was so or not. Captain Luce said that Mr. Comstoct went over when the tackle of the small boat broke. He did not recollect whether Charles St. John was among tho crowd on the upper deck when the vessel went down or not. Ho saw Captain Pratt and his My there, and thinks that they went down with the rest. Mr. Newbold was one of the most effickent among the passengers, and but a short time before the ship went down was working with all his power to get a spar overboard. He was on the ship to tte last. He saw Mr. Springer, of Cincinnati, on the upper deck while she was going down. About a minute before she went down he saw Mrs. Collins, with her daughter and son, standing on the deck. The two former, le, thought, had on life preservers. Master Collins bad taken off his coat and boots. Mr. Stone and his family and Mr. Day and his wife and daughter were also on the deck, and were standing together when the vessel west down.e.Mr. Grant and his wife and son were standing tee-ether on the upper deck, and were He spoke to Mr. Guinet and swept off wi - h the rest. with Mrs Hudson, who was standing, with her child, with the other passengers. was speaking, . ere She wished his wifeirnot Benedicttwo m inutes beforelady w with h e vessel tha o t s h a e n r l s c . .

He drove him out again. That was the last that he recol lects seeing of him. Captain Luce states that a large number of persons got on water casks ; some lashed4wo together, thinking they were thus secured ; but in many instances the lashings became loose, and, of course, the casks became useless. He saw six different persons climbing up and endeavouring to sustain themselves by two casks. They kept above water fora time, but finally sank. After the vessel went down, a great ma jority of those on boa r d, as th ey rose , go t on the raft which had been built. A l arge num b er got on small pieces of the wreck, d oors and other f rag ments, float ing by. These g ra d ua ll y separate d , an d each one soon lost sight of the others. When the last boat was upon the deck, Captain Luce succeeded in getting Mrs. Collins and a number of other ladies into it, but they were forced to leave, as they required the boat for service in making the raft. They did so without any apparent reluctance. Captain Luce says that the ladies, after the first fright was over, were as calm as could be imagined under such circum stances, and seemed perfectly resigned to whatever might be their fate. Captain Luce continued :—As the waves were engulfing him, he saw, close to him, Mr. and Mrs. Petrie, of Philad e l p hi a. Mr, Mahlon Day succeeded in getting on the piece of the wheelhouse on which he was, with others ; but, observing that they were already too full, lie betook himself again to a door by which be had formerly been sustained. Mr. Allen thinks he saw Mr. Edward Sandford on a piece of raft, very soon after the sinking. Mr. Cahill and lady were alongside of him in the water. After he had succeeded in getting on the pine of the wheelhouse, which at that time was lying close to the raft, he reached over and assisted Mr. Ca hill from the water to the raft. He afterwards fell off again. Mrs. Cahill called to him to try to reach him ; going but he could ne t d o it without overboard himself After Mr. All an and he had gotupo the raft, they saw Mrs. Allen, M rs. Brown, Miss Maria Brown, William B. Brown and his lady, and some 50 ethers, on the main raft ; and they were still upon the raft when they last saw them. With regard to the prospects of others having been saved, Captain Luce bolds out a faint ray of hope. H. says_" I think it is quite possible, and not at all improbable, that we shall utimately bear of the safety of others. At this season most of the vessels that pass near the spot are outward bound, and I see no reason why others may not have been picked up, the same as I and my companions were. After the gale , however, of th e Saturday following, I think there was no possible chance for any who were on the pieces of wreck to be saved. They must have perished. Those who were in the boats, however, would ride out the gale i n sa f ety, and might have been picked up days afterwards, and, provided the boat was pro perly managed, by having her head kept to the sea, I do not see why the occupants need suffer materially from the heavy seas." A young Ger man boy, named Ferdinand Keyn, who was on the same raft as Captain Luce, and who had previously rescued the French seaman through whose instrumen tality the attention of Captain Russell was called to the raft, by throwing him a rope when the boat belonging to that vessel was run down by the Arctic, appears to have suffered intensely. He happened to have some biscuit with him which had become soaked with the salt water, and eating these only increased his thirst, and, to make matters still worse, he drank some of the sea water. His sufferings were beyond all description. Twice he jumped overboard, saying he would rather die than suffer as he was doing ; and each time they pulled him back on the wreck. At one time he cut open a vein in his arm and sucked his blood. The last time he jumped over was about 15 miuutes before they dis covered the Cambria. This young man has obtained a strong hold on the affections of all who have met with him. Captain Luce speaks in the highest terms of his gentlemanly bearing and kind deportment, and Mr. Allen, his fellow-sufferer, has decided to take him into his employment at the Novelty Works. At Quebec 65 dollars were subscribed for him, and on the cars other sums were generously contributed. As a contrast to the cowardly conduct of the crew, who in one instance threatened to use a knife to Captain Luce when he ordered them out of one of the boats, is, the following instance of faithful devotion. When Captain Luce went below he discovered u t i l e m o s n t l e y w i a i r e d. r : o s n s of the below, working Anna thepumps Downer, who with all the power she could command. He told her to come up ; that she was only exhausting herself; that it was as useless for her to attempt to pump out the ship as it would be to attempt to pump out the ocean. " Cap tain," said she, " I'm willing to pump as long as I can work my arms," Ile told her again that she had better come up with the others. She asked him if he would not take her into the boat with him. He replied to her that be was not going to get into the boat, bat when th e s hi p I sank he expected to be in the sea. In another instance— that of a man in his employment —Capt. Luoe says During the whole of the scone THE PRICE OF CORN. The Siecle has the following on the question o, the price of corn : "Governments, consumers, and speculators occupy themselves seriously with the rise which has taken place during the last six or seven weeks in the price of corn. Some time before the harvest prices had de clined, and it was generally hoped that they would re turn to what they were in 1850, 1851, and 1852, for the crops presented a fine appearance, and abundance pro mised to succeed to scarcity. The season fulfilled all that it caused to be hoped ; the harvest was abundant in all parts of Europe, and yet it was no sooner got in than a rise took place in England as well as in France, in Belgium as well as in Spain, at New York, Hamburg, Dantzic, Naples, Lubeck, and other places. In the first days which followed the harvest, an attempt was made to explain this eco nomic phenomenon by a number of reasons which were soon abandoned. The labour in the fields, the threshing of the corn, the want of water in rivers, re turn, in fact, every year at the same epoch, and yet never prevent the price of wheat from diminishing im mediately after the harvest, if it be abundant. It is evidently elsewhere that we must seek the causes of this dearness, of which speculation cannot be accused, for it extends over too many countries to be the result of fore stalling undertaken to raise prices. The price of corn, like that of any other merchandise, is regulated in virtue of- unchangeable principles, with respect to which laws are nearly powerless ; abundance causes a fall in prices, as scarcity necessarily causes a rise. But this only takes pace in a normal and regular manner in the event of the demand maintaining itself in the ordinary proportions. It may easily happen that an abundant harvest is followed by a permanent rise; that indeed is the case every time that the consumption in creases almost instantaneously and more rapidly than the production. The present rise has not, in our opinion, any other causes; otherwise it would be local, there would be hesitation in prices, and all the other articles of foo d, those of luxury as well as those of first necessity, would not rise uniformly. Europe once before saw a precisely similar phenomenon change in a few years the rela tion between the value of the produce of the earth, of capital, and manual labour. From the year 1400 up to 1561, the price of the hectolitre of wheat varied in France from 3f. 62c. to 4f. 55c., taking an average of good and tolerable years. But during that period the old world arose from its torpor—America was discovered, explored, and pillaged. From 1500 to 1550, the gold which the Spaniards wrested from the masters of Peru and Mexico began to spread throughout all Europe, and caused general comfort previously unknown. The bulk of the populations, whose condition was most wretched, ceased to content themselves ,with ibarley bread and cakes of oats, chestnuts, or buck wheat ; they be gan to eat wheaten bread, and the demand all at once exceeding the offer, the 'price of wheat rose in the interval from 1564 to 1601 to 20f. 43c. the hectolitre. The consumption iucreascl more rapidly than the production. A reaction, however, soon came. The sufferings of the populations towards the end of the reign of Louis XIV., the prodigality of the regency and of the reign of Louis XV., caused a dimi nution in the consumption, and from 1772 to 1788 the average of prices was not more than 14fr. 67c. the hecto litre. But France began her great revolution ; and then there was what was like the discovery of a new moral world, and bold Christopher Celumbui es regenerated nations, honoured labour, and summoned all classes of society to a higher degree of welfare. After some days of confusion, wars, and disasters, peace was established, manufactures developed themselves, commerce extended, and the number of consumers increasing, the price of corn increased also. From 1832 to 1848 the average price was 19fr. 76c. The awakening of manufactures and the g eneralisation of labour produced the same effects as the discovery of America ; wealth increased, and the condition of the most wretched populations im proved.

Hence - rel.s.tive scarcity and dearness. Now, it is evident that this dearness will continue, for, with some very rare slid r insignificant exceptions, the market' have been hitherto well supplied.- The producers do not properly take into account the causes of the rise,' and, thinking it transient; hive been anicieus to profit by It, - and have crowded to market to sell the produce of their harvest. One example will suffice to show how eager the holdeis have been to sell. We know not whether it -is possible to ascertain exactly the quantity of corn brought to and sold in the different markets in France, but in England an account is taken of all the wheat that changes hands in the public markets. During the first fortnight of the pre sent month there were sold in England and Wales 880,655 hectolitres of wheat ; the quantity sold in the corres ponding period last year was only 575,725 hectolitres ; and yet, notwithstanding this extraordinary supply, there has been a rise of about 4 fr. 85c. per hecto litre. It is, therefore, evident that it is not corn that is deficient ; it is consumers who present themselves in greater numbers; the demand increases and sellers be come more exacting. We have said that the high price will continue. The only effectual means of putting an end to it would be to apply to foreign entrepots, and our application to them last year has only left insignificant stocks in them. It would appear that the reserves are exhausted in the old as well as in the new world. At the end of September, 1853, the warehouses at New York contained 1,736,103 barrels of flour, and 4,385,891 bushels of wheat ; the quantity at the end of September last was only 696,221 barrels of flour, and 2,577,799 bushels of wheat. The only measures to be adopted ai e, in our opinion, that which the most enlightened econo mists have always demanded. Allow the trade to supply itself ; the less yon seek to influence prices either for a rise or a fall, the greater the supply will be, for sellers will be always certain of finding in your markets the real price of their merchandise." TEE AUSTRIAN RAILWAYS. Extract from a Vienna letter received yesterday : Some days since I informed you that -the Austrian Government had sold the South-Eastern State Railway to the " Credit Mobilier " of Paris, ,on a lease of ninety years, for a sum of 200 millions.ef francs ; and that his Majesty the Emperor has sanctioned the contract entered into with the representatives of this company of French capitalists, who, I also stated, have reserved to them selves the ratification of the same till the end of this month, or, according to others, till the end of No vember. In substance the above information was quite correct ; in some particulars, however, I now find that I have a good deal to add by way of explana tion and completion. M. d'Andra, who has so ably ne gotiated this important affair with the Austrian Govern ment, although a large shareholder in the " Credit Mobilier," acted on this occasion, not as the representa tive of that highly respectable institution, but as the representative of several exceedingly influential ca. pitalists both in France and England, whose intention it is to establish a joint-stock company upon the basis of the contract in question. The particulars of this contract, as Jar as I am at present informed, are as fol lows :—The Austrian -Government sells, and the said company buys, the whole line of railway ,from Rodin back to Brunn, and that from Gam.ern-!orf to Pi4ss burg, Pesth, Szolnok, Szegedin, and T,m3svar. The line from Szegedin to Temesvar, which is at present only in course of construction, is to be completed b) and at the expense of the Austrian Government. From Tetnesvar to the extreme frontier of Hungary, along the Danu`.te this line is to be continued at the expense of the said company. The valuable coal mines at Aussig in the north, and at Orovitza in the south, are also included in the contract of sale. Tile price which this company has by their representative agreed to pay to the Government is fixed at two hundred millions of francs, payable in silver or gold coin, seventy millions whereof are to be paid within fourteen days after the ratification of the contract, for which purpose fifty-two days from the day of the date thereof (October 15) have been agreed to. The remainder of the purchase-money is to be paid by instalments extending over a period of three years. The Government has reserved to itself the right of repurchase upon equitable terms after the lapse of 30 years, but the present sale and purchase is for 90 years ; after this period the entire lines of railway, inclusive of those yet to be constructed, revert to the State, with the exception of the materiel, which will remain the property of the company. The State guarantees 5 2-10ths per cent. on the capital in vested ; and if, contrary to all probability, the receipts of the company should yield less, the State pays the dif ference in gold and silver. Now, upon the groundwork of this contract, the said capitalists intend to get up a joint-stock company, with a capital of three hundred millions of francs, two hundred millions of which are to be paid to the State, and one hundred millions are to be in part invested in the purchase of the line from Vienna to Raab, which is then to be continued to Fiume, by and at the expenses of the purchasers, and in part to be employed as working capital. Six hundred thousand shares are to be issued at respectively five hun dred francs, and 201. sterling, and two hundred florins Austrian convention money, whereon 39 per cent, is to be paid up as a first instalment. There are to be twenty directors, whereof ten are to be Frenchmen, and the other ten Austrians. The chief office of the company is to be at Vienna, and a branch office at Paris. To give you something like an adequate idea of the good opi nion which is entertained here of this enterprise, I may mention that a first-rate banking-house has already reserved thirty thousand shares for itself. With respect to the imperial sanction which has been given to this contract, it is proper that I should explain what is to be understood thereby. The Minister of the Interior, Baron Bach, who, by his restless energy and undeviating solicitude for the welfare of the state, has been mainly instrumental in speedily bringing this im portant transaction to a preliminary conclusion, was commissioned by his Majesty to have the requisite statutes drawn up, embodying all essential conditions for the sale of State railway property to foreigners, and to serve for the present and all future occasions of a similar kind. It was to this draft of an enact ment., perfectly applicable to the case in point, that his Majesty has recently given his sanction. Thus it is satisfactorily explained that this Government have ob tained the assent of the Emperor to the contract in question, even previous to the ratification of the same on the part of the aforesaid French and English capitalists. We hear that upon this occasion M. de Baumgartner, the Minister of Finance and Commerce, had raised cer tain difficulties, which, if they had not been most ener getically resisted by Baron von Bach, the Minister of the Interior, would probably have deferred, or pos sibly have altogether prevented, the preliminary con clusion of this important contract. It is also added that M. de Baumgartner is on the eve of retiring from the arduous duties of his office. I cannot, however, help thinking that this faithful servant of the Crown will not allow personal considerations to influence his resolves in this respect, because it would be very unlike him if he did. On the other hand, I believe the time is not far distant when Baron von Bach will be called upon by his Imperial master to give his sole at at tention to the performance even yet higheran func tions in the State, inclusive of km haute finance, those at present confided to his care. Wel -mtormed n and p th ost persons will have it that, sooner or lat er, a n he is destined to become chief of t he Emperor ' sanpdrivataet will be specially created for Baron von Bitch, Cabinet, which would be a post similar to the one which the Minister of State fills in France. Still, such a fun damental change in the constitution of the superior go. verument in this country can only be the work of time Much might be said in favour of the plan, and, it may be, this is well understood ; but I hardly feel myself at liberty to give vent to personal convictions on so mo mentous a point. In closing my observations, however, on the main subject, namely, the contract for the sale and purchase of the Austrian South-Easturn State Rail way lines, I cannot forbear to remark that not only in a s the ll ines l l commercial n ' r o g e r s e t h i d n y : v oqibdfiuieet also tnshdteos,n there h i when a attentionersl l e e n e l li oo ) n i r fl o t b ti p hc e e al e r n l B o y !) roit doubt.iatndi sni Public.i ni e e administered, th Th ll at n y t f e e r w e s to t p prayie)rdeicctistehlyatthtehesyawmiellrainteaoNf.eri ys ear which be the f o u n:cl i wu n t r e e o s belonging to the Northern Railway Company (from Vienna to Brunn and Oclerberg) at present pay, which is from 12 to 15 per cent.

Some of these tend to be deposited from the distilled va pour in proportion as its cools ; others require to be with- drawn from it by specific chemical agencies. Ass Kas works present arrangements for effecting in eu ca92 ,i,,,, these two acts of separation. The first is an apparatus known as the condenser, the second by one called the purifier. - " Within the condenser constant currents of cold waker reduced the distilled vapours of coal to a temperature which allows many of their ingredients to revert from a vapourous to a fixed state. An abundance of steam falls as water, rendered footed by the ssjphurus and ammonia cal ingredients which it has dissolved ; while, simultsete onsly, the volatile oil and resins of the coal re-appesti as that black compound called tar. There are mechaAical arrangements for allowing these impurities to settle in a particular receiver, which, of course, requires' to be pe riodically emptied. Its very stinking contents are of calls inercial value, and the arrangement of the City Gas Coln !Any is, on certain days of the week, to discharge this re fuse of their ,establishment into a tank barge, by which it is conveyed 'beyond your jurisdiction. The loading of this barge always occurs in the day-time, at or about the time of high water. " The second stage of gas purification is to separate, by the action of lime all that has remained in it of vsulphu retted hydrogen. In the City Gas Works, where use is made of the apparatus known as the wet-lime purifier, the gag bubbles through great churning-tubs of milk of lime, and leaves in,them its sulphuretted hydrogen, combined into snlphuret of calcium. These constitute a very bulky refuse, and as they are of no commercial value, the com pany discharges them into the Thames by a pipe, which runs froni their establishment to near the middle of ,the river. lam assured by the servants of the company that this evacuation never takes place otherwise than late at night, and at such period of tide is rosy enable the re fuse immediately to mingle with large volumes of water. " Theoretically speaking, this discharge might perhaps be inoffensive, for (assuming the action of the condenser to have been complete, and the lime of the purifier to have been in chemical excess) the refuse referred to would con sist of an inodorous slush of insoluble proto-sulphuret of calcium, not liable to rapid decomposition in the river water. But this is practically not the case. The blue billy, as it is called, contains many bituminous matters that have escaped precipitation in the condenser, and it is liable, from deficient action of the purifier, to present free sulphuretted hydrogen, or to contain a soluble and foetid bi-sulphuret of calcium, instead of the insoluble and in offensive proto-sulphuret. I therefore cannot doubt that its discharge into the Thames -must be regarded in the light of a common nuisance, which it lies within your functions to suppress. " To this, however, I must add that in consequence of the legal proceedings already referred to (judgment meanwhile remaining in abeyance), the gas company has pletged itself to an abatement of the nuisance. In fulfilment of this pledge they have now nearly completed, on a very largo scale, and at an expense, as they allege, of many thousand pounds, which will substitute for the second pro cess I have described to you the use of a dry lime purifier, and, by thus giving them a castable refuse, will enable them entirely to refrain from polluting the river. As this Hlms-our to effect this reform is now being made in good faith and at great cost, I presume your honourable Court will consider the question of nuisance from the 'ime pn ri-Ecio'ne that 'may stand over for the present. - " With respect to the other stage of the process, the tie• Lion of the condenser, I sin much disposed - ta believe that ft occaaions the more obvious nuisance of the two; and I Anspect that the loudest complaints I have beard relate to the prod when the tank-barge mooted off the pre mises of the company is receiving its freight of tar Ind ammoniacal liquours collected from the receivers of the condensing apparatus, for in these ingredients are con c,mtrated the well-known odours of gas works—a vory complex pungency that may. be analysed into something of rotten eggs, something of waterproofing, and something of ill-conditioned urinals. " I think it would be reasonable to require that this process should be so amended as to occasion no spread of stink in its vicinity ; and without pretending to dictate the terms of any such amendment, I would suggest as an illustration of what I mean that the receptacles of this re fuse, instead of being fixed in barges, might be moveable vessels, capable Of being loaded within the building, where the offensive process could be conducted under cover of some hood ventilation into the furnaces of the establish ment. "In addition to those sources of nuisance to which I have adverted, it seems probable that in various acts of shifting and changing the retorts the general atmosphere of the place may be considerably impregnated with the odours complained of. Under existing circumstances it is difficult to judge whether this evil prevails to any serious extent; but if there should continuo any complaints re ferable to the manufacture of gas when divested of the two principal nuisances now arising in the disposal of the re fuse it may become necessary to revert to this question with a view to require some inoclorous ventilation of the building. " JOHN SIMON." Mr. Ross—l think this a most important question. The report is so comprehensive and minute in all its re t'erences to the mode of manufacturing gas, that I think the Court can hardly understand it from the mere read ing it. Nevertheless, there are two points which are brought out in strong relief, and which we can consider; •he one, the preparation of gas in the condensers ; the other, the atnutoniacal products, which appear to be great nuisance, as these are remove d in the t an k n v e sse ls ofthe company. iedielat ottEcehesrtabeteemoernretset_ceantnas ;d in have. , the report of the n not - the s om s e l t i e g s t ongt reason t o t o b d e their o d u o b n t e b y th a e c c g u a r s a coyo—m company think any to that re medy the evil complaine d of.
