Sir Robert Price, Bart., M.P., Chairman (Provisiodally Registered.) The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the making of a railway from Huddersfield to Manchester, the long-de sired object of opening a direct line of railway communication. from Manchester to the Port of Goole, passing through the Saddleworth and Marsden Valleys, now presents itself. To accomplish nig object, it is proposed to make a railway, com mencing at or near the station at Huddersfield of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway, proceeding through the Kirkburton and Shelley Valleys and thence by way of, or near, Barnsley, to Goole. By th:t proposed railway, and the intended Huddersfield and Man chester Railway, there would be then established one continuous line of railways between the Irish Sea and the German Ocean, pass ing through Mancheitter, and connecting the two 'ports of Liverpool and Goole; and alap several important and populous manutitcturing districts would have the benefit of railway communication, for which no provision has'yef been 'made by any existing Company, or pro posed by any scheme now before the public. The proposed line would cross the ;North Midland Railway at or near Cudworth Station, opening a direct communication southwards. The Portion of the line befween Huddersfield and the North Mid= land Railway would pass through or near several of the most ex tensive and celebrated'.coal-fields in Yorkshire; and Alit, other part of the line would afford snereased means of attaining the valuable limestone of Knottingley. • . The country through which the' line woul I pass generally is of a favourable character, and presenting few (if any) engineering .difil sullies ; but a survey is now . . being Made,. and, when completed, a detailed Prospectus, with the names of a most influential Provisional Comirdttee, consisting of landowners, nierchrnts, manufacturers, and others locally interested, will be published.

W. 0. and W. Hunt, 10, Whitehall. The Committee of Management have determined, with the powers given them by the deed of the Company, to relinquish the branch from Ludlow to Newtown, which will form a necessary part of the Worcester and Port Dynllaert line projected by the Great Western Railway Coutpany, and to reduce their proposed capital from 1,250,000/. to 1,000,0001. As the new standing order of the House of Lords will require 10 per ce it. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a further call on Shareholders • before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital into shares of 251., deposit 2/. 12e. 6d. ; allowing holders of the pre sent 501. shares to receive twice as many 251. shares, or any smaller number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the Committee where their shares were riot originally allotted to them), orif any should wish to withdraw, returning them the deposits of 21. 15s; per share which have been paid up. . All holders of scrip certificates, or of bankers' receipts, are requested to forward the same to the Secretary on or before SATURDAY, the 20th of September, and to state at the same time their wishes with respect to new Shares, by letter in the 'form below. All holders of Shares not originally allott& to them, failing to transmit their scrip certifi cates on or before that day, il forfeit all benefit of their Shares, and original Shareholders, failing by the same day to transmit their scrip certificates or bankers' receipts, will forfeit their right to an additional ntimbir of Shares.' Where the scrip c%rtifictiteil 'or 'bankers' receipts are forwarded by ,post, the letter ehottld be registered at the post office; the Secretary will itclupwledgtheir receipt.

His Lordship dwelt with good reason on the ruinous consequences that were likely to result from confiding the direction of the constructive department of the British navy to a single indi vidual, notoriously' destitute of that sort of acquaintance with the science of naval architecture which would enable him to frame his calculations with any degree of certainty ; and whose vast and costly experiments had signally failed. After enume ra• ing the ships; upwards of 100 in number, which had been built or were in course of construction by Sir William Sy monds, his Lordship complained of the expensive alterations which it bad been necessary to make in a large proportion of those vessels before they could be rendered efficient , for the public service. The unprecedented latitude which has been given to Sir William ,Symonds, after failures which have in volved the most serious sacrifices to the country, may be gathered from the statistics of the number and cost of the shtpa built or building by him which were laid before the House on. that occasion. They ►ere as follow LOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. - PLEA kJ SURE EXCURSIONS between the Bricklayers' Arms or Dover termini, and all stations except London-bridge, at one fare there and hack, continued from Monday, September 1, 1845, and every Satur day and Monday until farther notice.

One in progreta 19,500 812 20,312 41,356,250 We have nearly a hundred ships, involving an expenditure of 1,3b6,250/. This enormous sum applies, it will be remem bered, to vessels many of which are only half finished, and has no reference to steamers, on a hich an enormous amount of money has also been squandered, without the production of a single vessel that really answers the purpose for which she was intended. Now it is surely competent to any Member of Par liament or public journalist to assert that this immense amount of the public treasure ought not to have been placed at the dis posal of any individual, let his reputation for talent have been w hat it might, without the most araple proof of his competency to direct its application. To confine ourselves to Sir William Symonds's four crack ships, the Vernon, the Queen, the Pique, and the Albion—it is a fact, placed beyond the possibility of contradiction, that not one of them has realised the calculations of her constructor ; and that he has scarcely ever produced a ship which has answered his own expectations of her displacement. Among the more flagrant examples of this sort of incapacity may be mentioned the Spartan, the Gorgon, the Victoria and Albert, and the Retribution. Several, like the Gulnare, the Blazer, and the Tartarus, floated so deep in the water that it was nece nary to take out the engines which had been provided for them, and supply their place with others better calculated to conceal the miserable blunders of their constructor. Nor was an ex change of engines the only expedient to which it became ne cessary to resort before these vessels could be commissioned. The Gorgon was built with a view to carry guns on her lower deck, but the notion was of necessity abandoned and her ports caulked down, or the first gale would have sunk her ; and yet with this fact before their eyes, the Surveyor's patrons permitted him to lay down another vessel on similar lines... The Cyclops, the Victoria and Albert, and numerous others of his ships, have only been rendered serviceable by continual and costly alterations after ttey were launched; to sly nothing of even more expen sive deviations from the original plans furnished by him when they were on the stocks. Yet in the teeth of these formidable proofs of incompetency, blunders which no degree of tinkering or coaxing can ever repair, and which not even the unscrupu lous favouritism of Lord Minto could conceal —notwithstanding the shield he extended over their author —no qualm or doubt of any kind as to the propriety of enabling their perpetrator to go on squandering the public money in the accumulation of fresh failures, appears, for one moment, to have entered the heads of his patrons. Nay, so blind was their partisanship, that, in all the pretended-trials of Sir W. Symonds's ships with those of other constructors, they took care to have them COB ducted on a principle that offered as slight a chance as possible to his rivals; and if any vessel, like the Bat ham, offered prac tical proofs of superiority which it was impossible to suppress or distort, they permitted him to break her up, or sell her out of the service. We believe we arc within the mark when we affirm that ships have been thus disposed of whose very copper and iron, to say nothing of timber, comparatively undamaged, have produced nearly the sum for which they have been sold. On the other hand, the Vernon and Pique, new ships, have absolutely cost a great deal more than they are worth in al era tinny and repairs, and are now (of the condition of the Vernon at least we can s-peak confidently) only fit, like the Rover, to be broken up. Tnis by the way ; for we propose, on a future occasion, to lay before our rea'!ers some details Of the condi tion and value of the various ships either broken up or re commended to be broken up by the present Surveyor of the Navy, arid the inadequacy of the price obtained for them. Mais, rercnir ci nos moutons. It is a fact which cannot be gainsaid, and which has been repeatedly admitted in the House of Commons and elsewhere, by men every way com petent to form a correct judgment on the subject, that during the last twelve years the science of naval architecture has not only not advanced, but has ab'clutely retrogaded; and that this result is owing to the adoption, nay Snare, the production of the crude theories of unscientific pretenders, who, if required so to do, would be found unequal to the solution, mathema tically, of one of the simplest problems of their art. During the existence of the school of naval architecture, fostered and encouraged by the _good Lord Melville, there' was, we will venture to affirm, no one of its alumni who could not have calculated with the nicest precision the displacement of a vessel of given dimensions. In our own day, however, and some twelve years after the impolitic dissolution of this valuable in atitution, on the ground, we presume, that an elemental - ) knowledge of ship-building is not requisite to qualify a surveyor of the navy for his duties—out of upwards of a hundred ships constructed by Sir William Symonds we are perfectly safe in asserting that there are not half a dozen which fulfil, in this simple element of the science, the intention of their constructor. The obstinate repudiation by Sir William Symonds of that aid by which alone a naval constructor can achieve a contemplated result with any degree of precision, reminds us forcibly of the reply of the well-known painter, Fuseli, when recommended by a friend to study "nature," " Hang Nature (said he) she puts me out !" Sir William seems to eschew the study of the scientific department of his art on the same principle—it " puts him out 1" Yet, ignorant as he is of the science of ship-building, so much so, indeed, as to be unable to solve its simplest problem, he has been permitted to make his " hit or miss" experiments for upwards of twelve years, on more than a hundred ships, and that, too, at a cost of nearly a million and a half sterling ! Surely, whatever ma) have been the motives of former Boards of Admiralty in screening for so long a period his incapacity, and affording . him the means of increasing the number of his failures, it is incumbent on their successors, who have shown so zealous and anxious a desire to promote the in terests of the public service, to adopt some mode of releasing themselves from the vast responsibility they are hourly incur ing on his account. Lord Ingestres who has a sound practical as well as theoretical knowledge of the subject, proposes the establishment of a board of construction as the only feasible means of arriving at any really satisfactory result. Let the surveyor be a member of this board if it be thought desirable; but let him, for the future, be restrained from the repetition of blunders which the merest tyro in the science, acting upon known and recognised principles, would be enabled to avoid.

London Terminus, Aug. 30, 1845. - This line will commence at the terminus of tke Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall, thence close to Cheiulle, and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway, near.Lichtleid, communicating there with one of the pro posed linorfrom Dudley and Walsall. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion witk existing railways. Ib will also completely accommodate the local traffic and manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro posed line ftom Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom modation to the Potteries. This line is, in its principal features, much the same as that already appioved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the Chu net Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction, er any other existing railway. It is material to re mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly projected to TamwortTl, and is free from the formidable opposition of the landed Interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the route by 'Ouster and Marchington. It must be observed also that it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the.Churnet and Blythe Valley districts. The en-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.

The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from tha Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic may safely be calculated upon), ' amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carrie ,upon the line, independent of the local passenger traffic and an ex trade in leink--Produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered by the proposed railroad. The fevenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di vidend upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not exceed three-fourths of the intended capital.. . It is proposed to make branches to thi Collieries and Iron Works in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest themselves on the Severn; and to make the River Wye, at Chep stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter free from the dangers difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that WORCESTER, WARWICK, and RUGBY RAILWAY, via Henley-hi-Arden, Warwick and Leaming ton, and communicating with Droitwich, Redditch, Aicester and Stratford-upon-Avon, to join the Great Eastern and Western Line at Worcester.

Gd. per Share, in compliance with the standing orders of Parliament. The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three fold ; firstly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom ; secondly', to make a Trunk Line of communication from SOuth to North, in the Midland and the Leeds and Thirsk ltailleays ; and, thirdly, in conjunction with the Midland at Oakenshaw; the Manchester and Leeds and the Wake field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at er near How:ey Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at er near Calverley, and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Horsforth, to afford to the densely populated and important manufacturing district through which the line is intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas sengers, merchandise, &c., to all parts of the country. The intended line runs parallel with none of the projected schemes of last sessioq, and cannot be said to interfere with any of them ; it is perfectly independent, and imperatively called for. The quantity of coal procured from different collieres now work ing more than 10,000 acres, in the Bowden Clough and Cockersdale Valleys (which are on the intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when the railway now projected is formed, it is believed that the average supply weekly will be upwards of 20,000 tons, so that from this vast (via Goole), as well as the more and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying and averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an unli- Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Dews bury, supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom will be available for the London market Skipton, Otley, Harrogate, Knaresborough, n b e u i r g y h , b il u iti rin gle g y th , K w e ns igh o le f y W , Ripon, - &c., &c., where in most cases the reduction will be at least one-half, and in the more distant places much more than this amount of reduction, and in all which places an abundant supply of good and cheap coal Is of the highest importance. The revenue to be realised from this source alone, it is believed, will yield a most ample return for the capital required. Besides passing through the centre of this Immense coal field, the akefleld, railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a populat on of upwards of 335,000 inhabitants, and whilst"affording every accom modation to this vast population, whose internal traffic must neces sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the relative position in which it stands to other lines, so that for inter nal resources and external relations its advantages are almost un fivalled. This line affords the most direct communication from North to South, and will be a nea rer route foam Huddersfield, Wakefield, Manchester, South Lancashir e, Cheshire, and all p arts of the South, to that much frequented watering Place, Harrogate, and will form a most eligible line, w i t h appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver thorpe, Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsey, Stanningley, Calverley, and Horsforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen miles, and the branches six miles. The project is warmly sup Port ed by the landed and local interests, and by a large body of mercantile and wealthy individuals in the above districts, who, confident of a suceessfill issue, will use every If adequate provision be not made by means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session. - The Company reserve the power of making an extension from their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey-. ance of the minerals, &c., another Company. The liability of each Shereholcler will be restricted to the amount of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from the time the Act is obtained. The names of an influential Provisional Committee will be adver tised next week. 133 r 1 ; k 7fo ' r L d, eeds, 1 Promoters.

Iss. per share. - - The Directers of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and. Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which a connexion would be most advantage ously formed between Southampton, Gloucester, Cheltenham, and all parts of England. After most mature deliberation, they have re solved to recommend to their shareholders and the public the imme diate carrying out a railway to effect this object, which will be most desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly advantage ous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gation of both lines under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his Serip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis bury and Swindon Extension shares. The holdirs of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth shares will also have a pre ference, provided applications be made on or before the 10th Sep tember.

Yesterday we published a summary of the trials between the ships of the experimental fleet, in the accuracy of which results we have the greatest confidence. All accounts agree that the trials took place in light winds, and for the most part in smooth water, the very weather in which the surveyor's skips have been always stated to have the advantage. Other details of the trial sailings induce a result rather different than oar yesterday's summary. We, therefore, give them as they have reached us. By these accounts, there were five trials between the whole fleet " with the wind," and six trials " on a wind," besides other trials one ship with another, and one class with another. In the trials " with the wind" on July 19 and 22, and August 6, 17, and 18, five in number, the Queen is first, having beaten the others three times out of five, but at the most not above a mile and a half. The Albion is second, having beat the Queen once, and the Rodney four times out of five. The Rodney is third, having beat the Queen once, and the Albion once. The Canopus is fourth, beating the Queen once, the Albion once, and the Rodney twice. The St. Vin cent is fifth, beating all the ships once, on which occasion the Queen was fourth, more than a mile astern, and the Albion a mile and a half astern ; the Rodney was second on that occa sion, and the Canopus third, only about 32 fathoms from the St. Vincent ; the Superb was sixth, the Vanguard seventh, and Trafalgar last—thus : river. It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester, which will in no way ,obstruct the navigation ; and the proposed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended lihe from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloudester, and the one, over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not.exPected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may N.

The line is twenty-six miles in length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are extremely good, and works light. ' may -with • very great confidence be asserted, that there is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present.

I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, 1845. WILLIAM lIOLLIS, Late Lieutenant, Madras Ar m y . Camberwell, Aug. 30, ~ Y~+~ The first (14'060, on the 19:h July, lasted frem a quarter to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the advantage gained by the first ship over the fourth ship was not so much as a quarter of a mile, and over the seventh not two miles and three quarters, and the last only six miles and a half.' In some of the trials the rate of sailing was only from one to three knots, and sometimes the ships had little more than steerage way. The degree of incli nation varied. In a " cross swell," and the rate of sailing five knots, the incli..ation was said to be—of Vanguard, 3 degrees ; Queen, 31; Albion and Trafalgar, 4 , Superb, 41 ; St. Vin- Cent and Canopus, 5i ; Rodney, 61. SEPERATE TRIALS, In a trial "on a wind," en the 28th July, with the two deckers only, chasing to windward under double-reefed topsails. topgallant sails, jib, and spanker, wind westerly, at a rate o' sailing from 4 so 44 knots, the result was said to be thus:— Albion, Canopus, Vanguard, Rodney, and Superb. With reereuce to tho Queen and Albion, a trial sailing on a wind took place on the 31st July, under double-reefed topsails, fore and maktopgallant sails, jib, and spanker. Wind NW by W 4 W, veerin e - a I oint each way. Rate of sailing, six knots. The Albion had 'a &aided advantage. A trial was insti'uted between the Canopus and Vanguard at the same tame. The Canopus would have beaten the Vanguard if she had not missed stays, and was obliged to wear; as it was, the advantage of the Vanguard was little more than a cable's length. A trial took place on the 33th July, on a wind, between the Rodney, Superb, and the Canopus, under single-reefed top sails, topgallantsails, jib, and spanker; wind NW by W, with a swell from the NE. Rate of sailing, between four and five knots. It lasted about three hours, when the Rodney beat the Superb about a third of a mile, and the Superb the Canopus a cable's length. 'I he two former shook out their first reefs. The inclination of the Rodney was 8 deg., Superb 6 deg., and Canopus 7 deg. The Rodney and the Superb had a trial, July 31, on a wind, under double reefed t , p fore and mein topgallant:sails, ja), and spanker. Wind veering from NW by W to NW Rate of sailing six knots. The Rodney beat the Superb about a quarter of a mile. The Superb endeavoured to weather the Rodney, but failed. Another trial took place between these ships on the 2d of August, on a wind, when the Rodney more signally beat the Superb. The inclination of the former 5 deg. and the latter 44. On the same day a trial took place with the Queen and Trafalgar, on a wind, under courses, single-reefed topsails, topgallant sails, jib, and spanker. Wind from NWby W to NV NW. Rate of sailing, from :five to six knots. The Queen beat the Trafalgar but during the trial the Queen set her fore and main royals and flying jib. On the 13th of August three sets of trials took place on a wind, between the three three-deckers; the Albion, Rodney, and the Canopus, Vanguard, and Superb; wind moderate, SE by S. Rate from bur and a half to five and a half knots. The Queen beat the St. Vincent nearly a mile, and the Tra falgar more than one mile and a third. The Rodney lost more than half an hour in shifting her foretopsail, or the Albion would have been beaten. As it was, the Albion had the advantage of about two miles. The Canopus beat tare Superb and Vanguard four miles and a half. Another trial took place, August 19, on a wind, with all the two-deckers, except the Albion. The Vanguard and Superb carried single-reefed topsails, fore and main topgallant sails, jib, and spanker, and the Rodney and Canopus with two reefs in these sa In. Wind, Nby E E. The Vanguard and Su perb (dose together beat the Rodney and Canopus. The Rodney W 75 delayed in lowering her cutter to save a man overboard who was lose. 'fhe three-deckers and the Albion tried on the 19th An gust on a wind, the Trafalgar, Queen, and Albion, under single-reefed topsails, fore and main topgallant sails, jib, and spanker; St. Vincent, under double-reefed topsails, no top gallant sails, inner jib, and mizen. Wind, Nby E E, swell from the NW. The Album was firs?, Trafalgar second, and Queen third. St. Vincent was a mile and a half behind. THE EXCELLENT GUNNERY Snir —Commodore Chads' appointment to the command of this ship is highly flattering to that officer, and most honourable to the Earl of Hadding ton. It was purely from Isis distinguished services and the well-known high state of efficiency of the gunnery practice in the ships Captain Chads recently commanded—the Andro mache, 28, and the Cambrian, 36—that inducrd Lord Had dington to offer the appointment to Captain Chad', who never made an applicacation in any shape for the command of _the Excellent. It is said this ship will in future bear a second captain instead of a commander. Captain Lowe, whose pro motion we announced yesterday, has been appointed pro tern. Commander Moorman, whose promotion to that rank we also gave yesterday, was the gunnery lieu'enant, and is considered a clever and talented officer. He had the charge of instructing the officers and seamen gunners for a long time. Lieut. Lee was the gunnery mate. APPOINTMENTS. Mr. Samuel W.

Our obituary, 3esterday, recorded the death of Captain P.otert Maunsell, C 8., a commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. Captain Maus ell was a gallant :and distinguislovd officer, gni was very much respected. His first promoti..in in 1805, to the rank of lieutenant, was for service in the boats of the :Maidstone, when midshipman of that ship the preceding year, in cutting out a convoy near Toulon. In IS IS he was pro moted to the rank of commander, and won his last step of post rank while commanding the Procris stoop, by a most gal:ant exploit of leading her boats to ta....e attack of six French gun boats. which he captured off the Island of Java, and by his services on shore at the reduction of that island in 1811. In'lB3l tits commanded the Alfred, 50, in the Mediterranean ; in 1838 he was nominated a Companion of the Bath; in 1840 he commanded the Rodney, 92, in the Mediterranean, ar.d in her voyage to the Cape with a regiment of cavalry ' • and in 1844 was appointed a Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. SHIPS FOIL COMMISSION AT CHATHAM.—The Gloucester, 50 gun frigate, and the 11/wander, 44-gun frigate, are ready at Chatham for the pendant.

FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER Coutil is much used for dresses intended for country wear ; those with green or blue stripes on an ecru ground are embroidered with very narrow braid, and are often made with corsages a basques, with pockets. Robes peignoirs, in toiles de Chine, gros de Naples striped lengillways, or foulards in horizontal stripes, are also fashionable. Narrow fringes aro in great request, and made in every variety, as is also the dentelle de Grenade, which forms 'll pretty contrast on satins and watered silks ; gimps t jour are much used on shot siiks. Some autumnal dresses are trimmed with four rows of fringe of gradual widths. Toilettes entirely of black have been fashionable last month in Paris for visiting dresses ; they are much re • lieved by the quantity of lace used on them, such as four rows of narrow lace en tablier ; large lace sleeves, and lace scarf, and black lace bonnet, ornamented with a coloured thwer, also five and six flounces of black lace and eannezous, with sleeves of black lace, fire worn some redingotes are made this season with the poi nted backs a la, grand' n Le. The pr.itiest form of corsage for tarlatannc, and materials of clear transparent tex ture is that a la, vierge ; the fullness confined round the top in a band, with square shoulder- strap ; this style revives the narrow ceinture, with small buckle.

My Lord,-Peevieusly to Mr. Escott's motion on my case being . agreed to on the sth inst., your Lordship stated to the House (as reported in several newspapers, and as heard by myself) that it was " found necessary to put Lieutenant Hollis under are eat" while out on has voyage to India. Lieutenant Hollia broke that arrest — a very grave offence—and used him!' language to his superior .officer. This WW, in point . 0i fact, assertii g that there were just grounds for the arrest I that it re• suited from some misconduct, some breach of dis.inline ; an assertion most prejudicial to the merits of tae case, and to which I feel called upon to titer (with %11 due deference to your Lordship) an'unqualified andnniblic contradict ion. On my being delivered over to the authariAes at Bombay, not the s'ightest charge was preferred by Capt.. Mignan "in ju tificatien, of the arrest." Surely this did not prove that, it was " necessary;" " for it scerneth to me unraasonabla to send a pri: oner. and not veittol to signify the crimes laid against him." A reference :a cations official documents embodied in my petition, wilt at once convince your Loreleiip that the violence of conduct and expression, for I was triad by court-inertia:, was wholly attributable to a false and malicious impri sonment, preceded and followed up by a series of insult ing letters ; that it was expia &sly stated in the " Recom mendation of the Court" that " the prisoner" had " been placed under arrest on grounds unconnected a ith hrs military duty ;" and, consequently, that it was not "'necessary to put Lieutenant gollis under arrest" a t a lt. It is stated in Ceneral Wilson's testimonial (a Well was r: ad aloud by Mr. Escott) that " the ignominy and su fering," " the frequent provocations," " to which (1) was so long subject, . were "all of them together per heps unprecedented to any one in ti e situation of an officer in the army ;" and it is to be hoped, for the honour of the service, that hue!' disgraceful treatmi nt— to which I have been allow , d to fall a sacrifice !—may never -be repeated. I have at leant the satsractiota of - knowing, that so long*. as I was treated as a gamt!ernan, I conducted myself becomingly as an officer, nut: it is not right that my character should suitor, both in thia coun try and in India, through any mi,representation of facts. I trust, therefor', that there will be no impropriety in publishing this letter, together with the petition, in order to remove nay erroneous impressions which may have been formed on the subject ; and that when the case is again brought under discussion next session of Parliament, your Lordship will do me the justice to ad mit that the arrest was es unwarrantable as the court artial resulting from it was illegal. I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient and very humble servant, W. HOLLIS, Late Lieutenant, Madras Army. C&nber well, Aug. 30, 180. P.S. The publication of this letter is the more nec(s slry, in consequence cf General Wilson's te stimonial not 'having been reported; whereas your Lordship's statement appeared at full length. The former is alto gether as exculpatory of my conduct as the latter was condenarratory. • The following is the Twtition above referred to: — The humble petition of William Hollis, late a Lieutenant in the 36th Regiment, Madras Native Infantry, Sheweth, That your petiti iner entered the military service of the East India Company on their Madras establishment, in the year 1826. That, in 1840, ynur petitioner, on his return to India (having come to England fur the benefit of his health), did duty, by order of the Court of Directors, with a detachment Of recruits, proceeding to Bombay in the ship " Inglis," under•the com mand of Captain Robert 'Mignon, of the Bombay army. That the vc•sel finally sailed from Falmouth on January 6, and on March 10, and April 2, respectively, your petitioner was " ordered in arrest at large," and " under close arrest," " otl grounds unconnected with his military duty" (recommendation of the court-martial), and otherwise subjected to oppression and a system of irritation, in every way calculated to drive a man to commit himself; in which object Captain Mignon at length succeeded, and for which he ultimately received a severe reprimand in general orders. His conduct has likewise been forcibly described in the following testimonial, which your petitioner had the honour and satisfaction to receive from his former highly respected commanding-officer, Major-General Wilson, C.B. " 39, Dorset-square, February 8, 1841. leaving, since the letter I wro'e to Mr. Hollis, at Bombay, in August last, giseng my testimonial of his conduct and cha ca.:ter, from my knowledge of both as his commanding-officer, given further attention to his case in respect to the matter in which he was involved on his pa'sage from England, I can de clare it as my opinion, founded on my can knowledge of him, and the general sentiments of his brother officers, and those who have long known him, that nothing but the ignominy and suffering, accompanied with the frequent provocations—all of them together perhaps unprecedented to .any one in the situa tion of an officer in the army—to which he was so long sub ject, could have stirred him u? to that violence of language for which he was a fterwsrds brought to a court-martial. (Signed) "F. W. WILSON, Major-General." That your petitioner haring. ou April 3 (the day after he was placed "under close arrest"), broken his arrest `• by enter ' ing the ruddy," and then and there iasulted Captain Alignan, on his arrival at Bombay (May 31. his conduct was investi gated by a court of inquiry, whose proceeding; closed as follows : " The court think it their duty, before closing the proceed ings, to advert to the long and irrinieing correeposidence entered into by Captain Mignen with Lieutenant Hollis, and continued after that cfficor hod been placed in arrest ; and further to record their opinion that the many frivolous com plaints preferred by Captain Mignan against that officer, and particularly the gallirg, and, as it appears to the court, unwar rantable taunt, marked Bin peg , 25 of the correspondence, in a great m-asure led to those ac's on the part of Lieutenant Hollis, which have been mede matter for their investigation.

That in the ameth of June, 1849, sour petitioner was tried, and sentenced tt to be dismissed the service," by a court• mar - tial, " holden by virtne of a warrant Irons his Excellency Urn tenant-Geeerel Sir Thome; M 'Mahon, Bart., argil .K.

(4 Geo. IV. cap. 81, ) That, in the month of August fulitswitig, your petitioner ob tained two opieions as to the illegality cf his trial—the opinion of Major-General Vans Kennedy, a high authority on points of military last, an 3 of Mr. Cochrane, a barrister of eminence in the Supreme Court at Bombay. General Kennedy. after referring t t a particular section (the thirtieth) of the Mutiny Act, comes to this conclusion : " In your case, Sir Thomas M'illahon appointed a court-martial for the trial of an officer . of the Mcdras Presidency, in which he is not employed ; and, consequently, unless the words just quoted have no meaning, he exceeded the power vested in him, by convening a court-' martial for the trial of an officer who was not " of or bels ing to the Presidency of which he was Commander-ieisChiire!: - That, in the month of September, your Petitioner, on per sonally submitting these opinions to Sir Janice Cermet, Gover nor at Bombay, was recommended " to to home to the Court . of Directors." .That accordingly your Petitioner returned to this country, and in a memorial, dated January 14, 1841, solitited from the Court his restoration to the tervice, on the ground of his illegal trial, but more particularly in consideration of the shameful treatment that led to to it. That in a letter, dated May 15, 1841, the Court refused to comply with the prayer of his memorial ; lint at the same time granted him "an allowance of 701. a year," which was, pro taut°, an acknowledgment of his having been unjustly dealt with. That your Petitioner, viewing it in this light, has received the allowance under protest, and only as a part of his full pay in India as Lieutenant, to which, having been unjustly de prived of his commission, he still lays claim. 'That, on March 14, 1844, in a "Judgment delivered by Sir Erskine Perry, Knt., in her Majesty's Supreme Court of Judi cature at Bombay," it was decided that "jurisdiction is given to each Commander-in-Chief respectively, and to each exclu sively over his own army." The Learned Judge. moreover, very justly observed, that " in the army to which he (the offender) belongs, and where he may have been serving for a number of years, circumstances may be known and brought forward which might have great weight with bis Com mander-in-Chief towards commutation of a sentence ; but if the temporary service of a few days in another Presidency is to place his fate in the hands of another officer, to whom the same grounds fur exercising a merciful discretion aro not readily presentable or available, it might make all the difference be tween life and death to a prisoner ;" an observition pointedly applicable to the manner in which your Petitioner was tried, and the sentence " approved and confirmed," without say re ference made to "his Commander-in-Chief." That upon this, your Petitioner, on June 22, 1844, again re quested that the sentence of court-martial might be reversed_ by his restoration to the service, which was again refused, the Court of Directors in their reply .(July 8, 1844 ) peremptorily taking no notice whatever of the Wes decision, front which there has been no appeal, but merely stating that they cif cline to depart from the decision on your case, as communi cated to you under date May 15, upon repeated occasions." 1841, and as since confirmed time the ay and June, 1844) a Bill Ra s That Hon. the Earl of e Control, Mri giving to the Commander- President power previously assumed •Co Ripon, Drought ipnr.

Wherefore your petitioner most humbly and respectfully prays that your Honourable House may institute such an in quiry into the merits of his case as wilt, he trusts, lead to the annulment of the proceedings and sentence of a court-martial, holden in a manner contrary to the provisions of an Act of Parliament; and so make manifest that the rights and privi legcs of British subjects, of British soldiers , whether in the service of her :Majesty or the East India Company, whether at home or abroad, are sure to be protected.
