OFFICE of the GAS-LIGHT and COKE COMPANY, 19, New Bridge-street, Iliad:friars, London, May 28, 1845. A young gentleman just launched into the world, and who, proud of his ancient and spreading acres, was now making hid first book, seeing Man-trap marked eighteen to one on the ends, jumped eageriy at this bargain, while Lord Fitz!ieron and Mr. Berners, were at hand, and who in their days had found their names in the book of the carcase butcher, and grown wise by it, ititet changed a NOTICE is hereby ;given that a SPECIAL GENERAL COURT of the PROPRIETORS of this COMPANY will be held at this Office, on MONDAY, the 23d day of June next, at Eleven o'olock in the tore noon, pursuant to the Act of the 59th year of his late Majesty King George the Third, for the Election of Three Directors of this Com pany for four years, in the room of Three Directors (all of whom are eligible to be re-elected), who will then go out of office by efflux of time. And should a ballot be required, it will be continued open for four hours from its commencement. T HE COLOSSEUM, Regent's Park, is NOW OPEN, under the patronage of her Most Gracious Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert. By CH AS. F. BLUNT, Lecturer on Astronomy. "By its aid alone a competent knowledge of astronomy may bo gained in the family circle in a few evenings, and as matter of amusement."—Atlas. D. Bogue (late Tilt and Bogue),Fleet-street, " Mr. Egremont will not lake," said Hump Chippendale to the peer in the white great coat. `..` You must have been too eager,'' said his amble friend. The sing is up ; the last odds declared ; all gallop away to the Warren. A few minutes, only a few minutes, at.d the event that for twelve months had been the pivot of sin much ea'culation, of such subtle combinations, of such deep conspirac , es, round which the thought and passion of the sporting world have hung like eagles, will be recorded in the fleeting tablets of the past. But what minutes ! Count them by sensations anti not by calendars, and each moment is a day and the race a life. Ulogarth in a coarse and yet animated sketch has painted " Before . ' and " Mier." A creative spirit of a higher vein might devclope the simplicity of the idea with sublan2r accessories. Pompeii's before Pharsalia, Harold before Hastings, Napoleo❑ before Waterloo, might afford some striking contrasts to the immediate catastrophe of their for tunes. Finer still the mariner who has discovered a new world; the sage who has revealed a new planet; and yet the " Before" and `• After" of a first-rate English race, in the degree of its ex citement, and sometimes in the tragic emotions of its close, may vie even with these. The chief points of attraction at this gigantic establishment consist of the Glyptotheca, or Museum of Sculpture, designed and erected by Mr. William Bradwell, expressly for the exhibition of the finest works of Modern Sculptors. The Classic Ruins and exterior Promenades, presenting models of the Temples of Theseus, Vesta, the Arch of Titus, Ex.—Mont Blanc, the Mer de Glace, and Alpine Torrent, forming a hithefto unat tempted representation of the Monarch of Mountains, and its adja cent scenery, painted by Mr. Danson. The Conservatories entirely redecorated in the Arabesque style, refurnished with the choicest natural and exotic plants, and in which has been erected a gorgeous Gothic Aviary. The Stalactite Caverns at Adelsberg.--.. The most magnificent of all the Temples which Nature has built for herself in the regions of night." In addition to these extraordinary and splendid novelties, the cele brated Panorama of London has been almost entirely re-painted by the original artist, Mr. E. T. Parris. The whole Exhibition designed and re-modelled by Mr. W. Brad well. Admittance, Three Shillings ; Children under Twelve, Half-price. Admittance to the Stalactite Caverns, One Shilling extra.

They are saddling the horses ; Caravan looks in great condition ; and a scornful smile seems to play upon the handsome features of Pavia, as in the becoming colours of his employer, he gracefully gallops his horse before his admiring supporters. Egremont in the delight of an English patrician scarcely saw Mango, and never even thought of Phosphorus—Phosphorus, who, by the bye, wi..s the first horse that showed, with both his forelegs bandaged, They are off! COLOSSEUM. —Tile Evening Exhibition wish an entirely New and extraordinary Panorama of LONDON by NIGIIT, as seen from the top of St. Paul's on a clear moonlight evening, with various effects of moving fleecy clouds, twinkling stars, myriads of lights, &c., This magnificent Work of Art is erected in front of the day picture, after that exhibition is closed. Such a co lossal undertaking perhaps was never before contemplated.

By GEORGE W. KENDALL. " is a new era in art— 'Tis not a picture, It is nature." This most novel exhibition has been projected and carried out by Mr. W. Bradwell, and painted by Mr. Denson and Mr. Telbin.

As soon as they are well away, Chifhey makes the running with Pocket Hercules. Up to the Rubbing House he is leading; this is the only point the eye can select. Higher up the hill, Caravan, Hybiscus, Benedict, Alahometan, Phosphorus, Michell Fell, and Rat-trap are on the grey, forming a front rank, and at the new ground the pace has told its tale, for half a dozen are already out of the race.

This important line of railway will commence near the Midland Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford, Holme, Ratcliffe, and the intermediate villages, Bingham, Bot tesford, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of Belvoir, to the town of Grantham, thence passing through or near Folkingham and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton. Sutton -bridge, and King's Lynn,and there joining the intended Lynn and East Derehain Railway, will form the most direct line of connexion be tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means of the projected Grand Union Extension line to Amber Gate, and other lines north of Nottingham; and by means of the line to Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and Western coasts of the Kingdom. The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with some of the best markets in England. The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside rably cheaper rate than by any other existing or projected Line ; in short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District will be ren dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East of Nottingham. Surveys are now 111 progress, and the nature of the country is known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion of the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeach, will also form a portion of the scheme. The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln shire, says : " The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston to London, including freight, insurance, lighterage, commission, and Other charges, is stated to amount to very near Sc. The charge by Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge of 1 1 4 d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. 6d., thus showing a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. 6d. per quarter, occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance, delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &c." " A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens that owing to the delay and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is com pelled to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a temporary rise." " Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in this way by an economical and well arranged system of railway com munication." The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire. The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about to be redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as Engineer ferthe promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birming ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchecter, Sheffield, and Midland Junc tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great increase of traffic from this line of railway. Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in terest upon deposits and calls, until completion of the line. Applications for Shares may be made to Messrs.

" HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of the Llama, from which a very fine wool is obtained. The cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street, Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT, and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very gentlemanly neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."— Morning Post, April 19. " This garment is so great an imrove ment on the old wrap-rascal, that its general acoption by men of taste is inevitable."—The Sun, April 30. " Amongst the registration of designs, according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notions of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is cer tainly a new one, but it speaks well fbr the working of an Act which thus secures the proßts of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered Paletot, two guineas. 114, Regeut-street, London, four doors north of Quadrant. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by H. J. and D. NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and universally admitted common appearance. The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer month., or abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over coat—in a climate so ehangeable as that of Great Britain, would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gminedby matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise, that characteristic of an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many are kept rdady in the extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street, four doors north of Quadrant.

At a meeting of traders and others, held at the London Tavern, on TuEsnsi, the 27th of May, 1845, to consider the pro priety of petitioning Parliament for an amendment of the Act abolish ing Imprisonment for Debt under 201., and for other improvements In the Law of Bankruptcy and Insolvency. JOHN MASTERMAN, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, The following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to : Moved by BENJAMIN HAWES, jnn., Esq., M.P.; seconded by Tames HAYWARD, Esq., (Conway. Phelps, and Hayward :) That this meeting is deeply sensible of the injury which has been inflicted on trade generally by the recent alterations in the law of debtor and creditor, especially the abolition of imprisonment on final process for debts under 201., whereby the facility of committing frauds has been increased, and the risk of punishment lessened, without the substitution of any adequate power to creditors of ob taining possession of the property of debtors unjustly withheld. Moved by J. P. GASSIOT, Esq. (Martinez, Gassiot, and Co.) ; se conded by JOHN INGRAM TRAVERS, Esq. (Jos. Travers and Sons) : That to remedy these evils it is required that greater facilities be afforded for the speedy and inexpensive recovery of the debtor's pro perty, and that lie should be obliged to show to the satisfaction of the Court to which he is amenable that he has fairly and honestly stir renaered the whole of his effects to his creditors, in default of which he should be considered guilty - of fraud, and be liable to punishment at the discretion of the Court. Moved by GEORGE MOFFATT, ESQ. , seconded by W. GOLDSMITH, Esq. : That a petition embodying these views be presented to the two Houses of Parliament, and that the Representatives of the City and of the metropolitan boroughs be requested to support its prayer Moved by WM.

Hitherto the journalist in describing the Derby day had considerable latitude, and from his varied descrip tions one would be induced to think him übiquitous. He was like the " French falconer, flying at all he met," and all he did not meet. He painted, drawing no doubt upon his fancy and a good deal upon his experience, the appearances and the casualties of the different avenues leading to the course. He spoke of the crowds at the Elephant and Castle, the stoppages at Kennington-gate, the crash at Sutton, the multitudes that passed over the different London bridges,—he described four-in -hands, tandems, gigs, carts, vans, flies, go-carts, and all sorts of turn-outs, from the splendid equipages of the west, to the ricketty vehicles of the costermonger and knacker. Ho painted the long line of carriages and equestrians that moved along the old turnpike roads ; and he had to record the smashing of coach-pannels, the collision and locking in of wheels ; splinter-bars splintered; the cut tings in and out of the line, upsets and runnings away, fractured bones, and the insolence and extortion of the keepers. He had to mention troops of boarding-school boys drawn up in front of the various academies by the road-side, or mounted upon the play-ground walls, and young school-girls at the windows of their seminaries, admiring the splendid drags of the aristocracy, and the gaudy livery of postilions and out-riders, and laugh ing at and quizzing the multitude that passed by them in worn out stage-coaches, greengrocers' vans, shabby carts, or on foot. These amusing pictures are fast fading away, for the rail-roads have already almost put an end to them, and by this time next year they will have re ceived a coup de grace from the completion of an atmos pheric railway from London to the town of Epsom. There can be no doubt that this great change will very much injure the inns, &c., on the old roads, but it must improve the Epsom races very much, making them more numerous, and yet more select. Many a tradesman, whom want of time has prevented from ever seeing the Derby run for, will, when the atmospheric railway shall have been completed, become a spectator of that event, particularly when he can do so, and be back to business in a couple of hours. The Derby speculations this year, though certainly materially affected by the growing importance of the Chester Cup. were heavy in legitimate betting ; and had it not been for the Old England and Weatherbit affair, recorded by us on Tuesday, there would have been little or no " nobbling" to complain of. Derby lotteries and sweeps were numerous, but assuredly not so much so as they were last year ; fo r confidence in them was cooled by the Running Rein business, and by the dishonest and disgusting legal obstructions thrown last year in the way of payment of prizes. This year it is to be hoped the treasurers of the lotteries will feel that they have no excuse to make, and that they will pay, without demur, the drawers of the winning horse. Another sort of speculation—we might properly call it a mania—viz., that in railroads, has interfered with and diminished the Derby betting. We fancy it would be very difficult to decide which WAS the safer speculation. The meeting yesterday was a numerous one. Al though it rained—not very heavily, it is true—from dawn until a little before noon, the weather-wise pro phesied a line day. They were right in their prediction —between eleven and twelve o'clock the rain ceased, and the sun shone pleasantly during the whole of the races, and, almost up to the very moment of the start inn., arrivals on the course continued to take place.. %Viten, at half-past two, the bell for saddling rang, the course presented an animated and thronged appearance, the coup d'cril from the Grand Stand might have chal lenged comparison with the best days of Epsom. The hill just in front of the Stand was crowned with booths, and its sides and base were covered with carriages crammed with occupants of either sex. Close by, on the eastern side of the winning stand, was a line of carriages twenty deep, and eac side of the course, 1 from its western extremity all round to, and beyond Tattenham-corner, and nearly up to the betting ring, was densely lined with all sorts of vehicles and every grade of spectator. We did not observe in any quarter symptoms of dread of dyspepsia. The Grand Stand was well filled with the rougher sex, but .exhibited a la mentable minority of the fairer members of creation. No doubt the fatigues of the Drawing-room kept them away, and we hope to see them in health, beauty, and large numbers on Friday next, patronising by their pre sence the female equine contest for the Oaks. Our attention being so fully occupied with the racing occurrences of the day, we were unable to collect any thing like a tithe of the names of the distinguished persons present. A casual survey of the course, how ever, enabled us to select the following :—Duke of Beaufort, Lords Exeter, Normanby, Verulam, Wilton, Stradbroke, March, Chesterfield, Uxbridge, Cantilupe, Edward Russell, Macdonald, Leveson, Alfred Paget, Arthur Lennox, Duncannon, Spencer, G. Bentinck, G. Lennox, W. Powlott, Glasgow, Maidstone, Southamp ton, Miltoun, Glamis, Villiers, Rosslyn, Howth. Honourables, H. Pitt, G. Fitzroy, H. Rous, Col. Anson, H. Forester, Captain Spencer, E.

Bayley, Bas tard, Jaques, Batson, Payne, Clive, S. Graham. The chief race was fixed for half-past two o'clock, but punctuality in such an event is so difficult that it has never been attained. The difficulty was increased yesterday by the unprecedented number of horses brought to the post, no fewer in fact than 31 !—Besides three false starts, un accident happened to Alarm and his jockey, which de layed the final start at least a quarter of a hour. The Libel reared up, and striking at Alarm, hit Nat upon the wrist; this caused Alarm to plunge, and his rider being dislodged, he ran against the chains, and foil over; but immediatsly jumping up, he broke away towards Tattenhatn-corner ; being headed about midway, he made for the road leading into the bottom below the weighing-stand ; and after narrowly escaping another fall, was caught, taken back, and remounted. his It g was cut, and the jockey's arm much bruised, but not to the extent to prevent their taking part in the race. At about half-past three a good start was effected, and in a few brief moments the hopes and fears of the thousands who had breathlessly awaited the commencemeht ot' the struggle were set at rest. The " crack" was beaten dis gracefully, and a horse that was not even mentioned in the betting proved to the satisfaction of the unlearned in racing matters that the " knowing ones were done again I" flow they were done—and the oftener they are done in this way the more they like it—the following details will show : EPSOM RACES.

Just before starting 1,500 to 100 was laid agst Forth's lot : but singly the winner was not mentioned. Mr. Gully declared to win with Old England. While speak ing of the betting, we should mention that, in the course of the morning, the parties referred to on Monday as having laid so heavily against Old England were called upon to stake, and were prepared with securities to the amount of eighteen or twenty thousand pounds. These were objected to, and it was then required that the whole of the money laid on Mr. Gully's account should be hedged at 20 to I—some points above the market price. This was done, and the matter for tha present is at rest ; we hear, however, that it will shortly come be fore the Jockey Club.

In this formation they ran at a good bat to the top of the hill, where gadget and Doleful went to the front, and jointly carried on the running at an im• proved pace, Pantasa cad the Merry Monarch next, with Wood Pigeon, Idas, Mentor,-Pam, Old England, and An nandale in their wake. They came thus to the turn, in rounding which Pam, owing, as it is alleged, to another horse hanging upon him, struck into Wood Pigeon'e heels and tell ; Weatherbit, who wan following, jumped Over him, and, being put out of his stride, of course lost some ground. Doleful and Kedger kept their places to the distance, where the Alerry Monarch went in front, followed by Annandale, Pantasa lying third, and Old Englanclin company with Doleful, Kedger, and Wond Pigeon. The run-in was all in favour of the Merry Mo narch, Annandale, never getting nearer than his quar ters, and being finally defeated in clever style by a length. Old England came at the last, and beat Pantasa for third place by a neck. Annandale beating him by a length. Next to this lot were . IVood Pigeon, Doleful, and Kedger, and behind him was the Crack (who was in trouble before he got to the road), and Adonis. How the next ruck came in we could not make out, but those who pinned their faith on the Stanton nag, The Libel, must have been not a little mortified to per ceive that he was the first horse beaten and the last at the winning-chair. The Laird o'Cockpen, the Corumba colt, Worthless, Young Eclipse, The Black Prince, Cabin Boy, and several others, were beaten early. The pace was good all the way. Value of the stakes, 3,9731.

TIDE OAKS. 4to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's La dy Wildlir—taken 4 t, 1 apt Mr. Worthington': Llneashire Witch—taken SURREY CUP.—VoI-au-Vent is declared not to start. A PROPHECY for the OAKS, 1845. In days of old when fervent spirits wrought, And Delphe's Oracle the future taught, When aged Seers, through darkest gloom of night, Were gifted to foresee, like second sight, Through chaos the events of coming strife, When man 'gainst man was doom'd to wage his life, And in old Troy Cassandra's voice was heard, Majestic with great mind a prophetess appeared. Into the depths of darkness dared to pry, With wond'rous wisdom show futurity ; But though Cassandra's visions are no more And Delphe's shrine has crumbled to the shore, And I am little skilled in Grecian lore, But, following such bright examples great, A humble screwier seeks to emulate, And dares the Pythian priestess imitate. Greece, now debased, is not what once she was When the Parthenon rang with loud applause ; But to my theme—the Derby day is o'er, Tho' many aching hearts the day deplore. The Oaks remain some comfort to impart To the desponding and the sick at heart ; Their blighted prospects still may find relief And bring a panacea for their grief. Haste to the ring, from moody thoughts relieved, The ruined fortunes yet may be retrieved, For in the race see Hope is there to-day, Let's trust that she the distance long will stay, Tho' pressed by one whom children's taught to shun The Witch of Lancashire the dangerous one ; But see, to snatch the frighten'd from despair, The lovely, beauteous, Rose of fair Cashmere, With Lady Wildair, and a virgin guide, Called Miss Elis, Goodwood's joy and pride, Aided in glittering armour, too remark, The Maid of Orleans, glorious Joan of Arc. " Though burnt by wicked Bedford for a witch, Behold her statue placed in glory's nich ;" And with them witness moving gallantly Rogers' lively, laughing filly Glee. The start is made, and up the hill they hie, The Wild Rose making running recklessly ; Miss Ella doing all a maid should dare, Yet cannot reach th' aristocrat Wildair; The Persian Cashmere, dazzling and bright, With generous ardour rushes to the fight, To save her bosom friend from dire disgrace; But she, alas! herself can't live the pace: Hope will not aid her, and her course is o'er, Expiring nature can achieve no more. And see who comes, urged on with gory spur, That petted dame the Pride of Lancashire, Orleans, heroic maid, so fleet of foot, And Lady Wildair, now are coming out. They run so close, one knows not which is which ; Not Lancaster's, but wicked Bedford's witch, First meets the unerring eye of Mr. Clarke. The mist dispels, and nothing now is dark, Lancaster's beauty and the proud Wildair, Second and third will pass the Judge's chair. Bicester, May 27, 1845. ESAU. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. Sr ari outsider , and that 11,-4 was fully prepared to see one of Forth's lot, bowl all the tracks over easily. I mentioned in my prophecy of nonday last that it was very likely that an outsider, named but twice whoin th e betting in the early part of the season, a had lately been in some request at long odds, n and d which outsider was the Merry Monarch, would do the trick. The favourite, an t a o Old England p m a y n t a as s astonishment , snhin finished , n went front, very a nd badly the ; other fancy nags were tolerably well up. On Friday the Oaks Stakes will bring a pretty field of about seventeen to the post, which will be the following: —Longitude, Miss Elis, Heather Bell, Lady Wildair, Maid of Orleans, Agis, Sir Gilbert, Lancashire Witch, Hope, The Wreck, Glee, Fickle 'Will, Rose, Lcelia, Event, Stamp, Plaudi t , and Miss Sar a h. R ose of Cashmere and Refraction are very doubtful. Of these the Lancashire Witch and Maid of Orleans have been the beet performers in public ; the former is a splendid animal, well put together, and in beautiful condition at the present time. The Maid of Orleans likevise is a strong, well-made filly, and will doubtless be one of the first three. The little Lady Wildair, too, will be very near the mark, finishing in the front- Longitude is not to be despised; in my opinion this is the best of Kent's stable, who, by the by, is rather strong this year. To sum up in a few words, I expect to see the Lancashire Witch first, Lady Wildair second, Maid of Orleans or Longitude third. Members' Plate will have either Seaweed or Bar ricade for winner; Montgernerie and Da,lesman close up.

During the afternoon the admissions were considerably n advanceof those of Monday. but were less at the close by 419. The summit is already gained ; the tactics alter : here Pavis brings up Caravan with extraordinary severity—the pace round Tottenham corner terrific ; Caravan leading, then Phosphorus a little above him, Mahometan next, Hybiseus fourth, Rat-trap look ing badly, Wisdom, Benedict, and another handy. By this time Pocket Hercules has bad enough, and at the road the tailing grows at every stride. Here the favourite himself is hors de combat, as well as Dardanelles, and a crowd of lesser celebrities. There are but four left in the race, and of these, two, Hybiseus and Mahometan, arc some lengths behind. Now it is neck and neck between Caravan and Phosphorus.

Barlow` presented, as an appendix to his paper on the atmosph rte system, the results of a series of experiments upon the force employed in drawing car riages up an inclined plane of 1 in 43 by a stationary engine anti rope traction upon the Canterbury and Whit stable Railway. From these experiments, it appeared. that the stationary engine of 25-horse power with a rope would pro:luce an useful meehanical effect equal to the engine of 100-horse power on the Daley Atmo spheric Railway, thus proving by direct fact,•;, the deduc tion of Mr. Stephenson. as to the amount of lost power by the latter system. These statements were ordered to be printed with Mr. Barlow's paper. A paper by Mr. Thorole, M. Inst.. C.E., gave an account of the late failure of the suspension bridge at Yarmouth. After giving the dimensions of the structure, which appear to hive been altered from the orie inal design, without the consent or superintendecce of the architect„ the immediate cause of the failure of the bridge was attri buted to the fracture of one of the main links near the point of attachment to the pyramid. On examination it appeared that the iron was originally of indifferent quality, and that the weld had been made so imper fectly that only one-twentieth part of the sectional area. of the bar had been welded ; it was, therefore, evident that these links could never have been properly Listed. An interesting discussion ensued, in w hien the prin ciples of the construction of suspension bridges were clearly laid down ; and it was insisted upon, from the experience of the Menai and Montrose, and other large bridges that the platforms of such bridges should te rendered perfectly rigid, so as to prevent any undula tion, and that the chains should be merely used to sup port the actual weight of the platform and the road. The novel but ingenious plan for the bridge over the Menai Straits, proposed by Mr. Stephenson, to be con structed of a large wrought iron tube, supported by chains, was also mentioned, and the principle appeared to be considered sound. The next paper was by Mr. Grantham. It gavo an interesting account of the wreck of the Vanguard iron steam-vessel, which went on shore oa a ledge of rocks at the entrance of the Cove of Cork, and after remain ing there until the rocks were cut away at low water, so that a high water tide carried her oft; was found to be so little injured that a few days sufficed to repair da mages. The engines were scarcely strained, and nothing was broken. This led to the mention of some very re markable instances of the power of resistance of iron vessels, and to the experimer is now in progress of trial at Woolwich on the power of iron ve,seis to resist shot. It appeared that, with a large charge of powder, a hole was merely punched through the plate by the ball ; but that, with a heavy charge, the ball striking the pla*.e• with great velocity rendered it brittle, and the fragments flew about in an extraordinary scanner. Sir John Rennie, President, invited the members to his approaching cokueisaziene ; and it was announced. that the paper to be read at the next meeting, of Tue; t ., day, the 27th inst., would be " On the Ancient Port, of Ostia," by the President DR: WM. SNELL. (FROM • CORRESPONDENT.) Dr. Wm. Snell, the Professor of Law in Fier de, who w.."' summarily dismissed from his chair , on account of his supposed participation in urging, counselling, or abetting the Free Corps i n their expedition against Lucerne, for the purpose of opposing vi et armis, the introduction of the Jesuits , is one of the most in. t ealrl party tonna the consistent,e Conti n ent. Asenergetic far a roP . . tical leaders, of the Liberal p twenty-five years ago, when he was he was persecuted for having d a r e d engaged as barrister in Namn.. to publish an addrest on behalf of the citizens of his country against some arbitrary proceedings of the Minister of the Feigning Duke. He Was obligrd to leave his country, family, r-P.d to accept a professorship in the Russian Univer sity of Do' pat . But not long was he there established with his when, by a special command of the Emperor, he was ins 01`.ssed from his chair, and obliged to return to Germany. He crossed that land under a disguised name, and went to Coire, the capital of the Swiss canton of the Grison. There he met Dr. Charles Follnius and Dr. de l'rats, and formed with them the plan to establish a German society of Liberals, the Mannerbund. After having established this society, anti organised other societies depending on them, which embrace, in different groups, the military, the students, and the working people, Professor Snell, in conjunction with Follnius and Dr. de Prats, effected a junction between the Committee of Paris and the Carbonari of Italy. Betrayed by a false friend, the well.known De Witte, a Danish adventurer, the three gentlemen were obliged to quit Coire. William Snell and Follnius were elected professors at Bale, whilst De Prats was obliged to fly to England. A year MILT, however, De Witte, having given mere positive information against Follnius, this gentleman was also obliged to leave Switzer. land, which he quitted for the United 'States, where he met with friendly reception, and was elected Professor of Philosophy at Boston. In the meanwhile, the republic of Bale had become the scene of civil discord ; the rural distficts, dissatisfied with the oligarchical despotism of the town, declared to demand a government of their own. William Snell could not help to side with the Liberal party; hence he was obliged to give up his situation to accept one of a similar nature in Berne. How a man of such talents, experience, and penetration could have, for a moment, favoured the insane plan of the free corps is a matter of surprise to those who know him and. know the circumstances of Switzerland. Without material means, without discipline, without unity of pur pose, few had to attack enemies in their own houses, commanded by able officers, supported by men, arms, ammunition train Aus. tria, Naples, Piedmont, and Prussia. Yea, even if the first at tempt of the invaders had been successful, their success would only have served as a pretext for Austria, France, and all the ultra. montane enemies of Swiss freedom, to let loose their arms against the Helvetic Republtc. But, as far as the decree of dismissal of the said professor, it is an act of pusillanimity, injustice, and cowardice. if Snell was favourable to the expedition, indeed, even if he urged it on, he slid nothing to deserve the blame of a Govern. , ment, who did not interfere actively a g a i ns t th e di smem b ermen t o f the free corps, and rather encouraged than disapproved it.
