Thomas Clarke, a retired Captain from the South Sea trade, residing in Globe-lane, Mile-end -road, had a bad leg for five years. There were about twenty holes in it; several pieces of bone had come away. The limb was often the size of..a child's body, and it frequently caused the most excrucia ting pain. The Captain was told that his leg must be am putated ; but he, like hundreds of others, has just got it soundly healed by means of these surprising remedies, which are in fallible in the cure of all wounds and ulcers.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDA I EVENING, JUNE 21, 1845. RAIL Y COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. LEEDS AND WEST RIDING RAILWAY. The Committee on this Bill met to-day, at two o'clock, the Duke of Cleveland in the chair. Mt. Tensor opened the case for the promoters. The Bill is opposed by the West Yorkshire Company, competing project. The opponents were represented by Mr. Sergeant Talfeurd, Mr. Baines, and Mr. Hope. Mr. Holdsworth, Chairman of . the Manchester and Lets Com pany, was the first witness examined. The evidence of this gen tleman was strongly in favour of the proposed line. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD cross-examined the witness, and the Committee, at four o'clock, adjourned till Monday, at eleven. SOUTHAMPTON AND DORCHESTER RAILWAY. Upon Mr. RowE, counsel for the opponents, proposing to cross examine the witnesses, with a view to a projected line for the next session, the Committee interposed. and the room was ordered to be cleared. After a short deliberation the parties were called in, and informed by the Noble Chairman that the Committee would not hear evi. dence in favour of a lire of railway not before them as a Bill or project. The opponents should confine themselves to a case for the landowners as affected by the proposed line. Mr. ROWE then cross.examined the witnesses with respect to the injury which would accrue to the opponents by the line of railway cutting up some very valuable property. At four o'clock the Committee adjourned till Monday, at eleven. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. _ The following Bills came before the Standing Orders' Committee this day, Lord Shaftesbury in the chair :—The Leeds and Thirk Railway, the Newcastle and Darlington Railway, the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP A. SOUTH-EASTERN LINE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) e On our return to the Coramittee.room we learned that the Com mittee had decided that et;:4ase against the London and Croydon line must be postponed until tii.7.4..7ainst the North Kent line had been concluded. Mr MERREWETHEE requested that the Co.:llmittee should adjourn till Monday, in order to give him an opportunity: .f co ll e ctin g t he absent witnesses. He had at present no witness to exi'mioe but Mr. Caffin, who was some time ago examined concerning - Mr. Hall's powder.mills, and of whom he wished only to ask two or three questions. The loss of time would be very little, as the Com mitted would not be likely to sit to.morrow, even if he were pre. pared to go on with the case. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIASI said that the Committee had almost agreed to meet to-morrow. After some further discussion, Mr. MEnagivEintil agreed to call and examine Mr. Calfin, whose evidence entirely referred to the probable dan ger from the North Kent line passing through the powder district at Faversham. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIANI then spoke very strongly against the adjournment to Monday. The CnAtamaN said that the Committee would not meet to morrow ; but that on Monday they would expect Mr. Wilmore to proceed with the case of the Croydon line, and that at present no evidence against that line, on the part of the South-Eastern, should be admitted. Mr. MER REWETH ER agreed to omit the evidence against the Croy don line, and added that he intended only to call four other wit. nesses. Mr. WILMORE expressed his readiness to proceed with his case. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM then addressed the Committee as to he admissibility of a report of the Board of Trade as evidence. The CHAIRMAN said that he had communicated with the Board of Trade, from whom he expected to receive information on the point on which Mr. Sergeant Wrangham wished to produce evi dence. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM then requested to be allowed to call Sir Frederick Smith, late Surveyor-General of Railways, in answer to Messrs. Hall's petition. He contended that he had a right to call evidence in answer to any petition against the Bill. Mr. MERREWETHER objected, and urged that if Mr. Sergeant Wrangham were allowed to produce evidence in answer to Messrs. Hall, he would have the sane right with regard to the evidence on the part of the Croydon Company. • • " The Ciisiemeridesired that the room be again cleared. On our re-admission the Committee refused to admit the evi dence of Sir Frederick Smith. The Committee then adjourned to Monday at twelve o'clock. GROUP GG. SCOTCH RAILWAYS. BARILHEAD BRANCH OX' THE GLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.); Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS and Mr. MAXWELL cross-examined the witness on the part of certain landlords on the line, and also for the competing line (the Glasgow, Neilston, and Barrhead Direct line). Mr. Horne valued the land required at 10,797/. Mr. Murray, Provost of Paisley, spoke to the general feeling which existed in the town in its favour. _ Mr. Browne, Chamberlain, corroborated the Provost's evidence. There was a considerable traffic between Nitshill and Paisley in the articles of building, stone, and engine coal. The traffic tables were put in and proved by Mr. Anderson and others. The result showed a traffic per annum of 10,3141. 19s. 3d. This closed the case for the promoters. The Committee adjourned till Monday. GROUP K. WITHDRAWAL OF THE EAS TERN UNION EXTENSION PROJECTS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. ANDRE ws, Q.C., after these important changes had been effected, continued his address, urging that all the traffic which had been assumed by his opponents as going on the direct line would necessarily in preference adopt the non.circuitous route through Wyndham. At the same time other and far more important trade would fall upon the latter, and be scattered over the vast consuming districts through which it would pass. If the promoters of the other line regarded time and dis tance so valuable as between Norwich and Dereham, how much more importance should it attach to a speedy conveyance to the metropolis, and as respects such accommodation, the so.called direct line travelled over 128 miles between Norwich and London, while the line through Wyndham, between the same towns, required a distance of no more than 111 miles, thus effecting a saving of 17 miles, and a consequent decrease of time. The Learned Counsel concluded by calling on the Committee to declare the preamble of the Bill he represented satisfac torily proved, to give the inhabitants of the district the line they themselves preferred, and not to keep districts imperatively needing railway accommodation divested of such ad vantages during the prolonged period which the opposing project would require. The room was then cleared, and on the re.admission of strangers, The Committee announced their decision that the preamble of the Bill through Wyndham to Dereham was proved, but that the Attleborough and Diss, and the Diss, Beccles, and Yarmouth pro jects being withdrawn, the communication south of Norwich and Brandon to London should be left entirely for the discussion of another session. They therefore negatived the Bill for the Direct Norwich line throughout. This important decision was received with the most intense ex citement, and appeared to take all parties by surprise. At four o'clock the Committee adjourned till 12 on Monday. GROUP L. PORTSMOUTH ATMOSPHERIC LINE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) In answer to Mr. ALEXANDER, Mr. Locke stated that it was his opinion that the circumstance of the atmospheric trains being intended to pass at high velocities between the stations would greatly increase the danger. The express trains on the London and Birmingham line passed each other at Rugby, and twice on the Southampton line at the Guildford Junction and at Bishopstoke, at the latter place, however, the train stopped. At these crossing places the danger was the same, but on the atmospheric line it was multiplied according to the number of crossing places. His objec tion, however, only held as to the rate of speed, and he thought that twenty miles an hour would not be toe much. He knew nothing of the crossing places on the Great Western line or on the Blackwall line. He thought that the atmospheric principle had attained its maximum of nearly forty miles an hour, for he found that was the highest speed attained in Mr. Stephenson's experiments at Dalkey, at the place where the impediments were the least and the momen tum was the greatest.. It was immaterial to him whether the op position to the speed arose from the friction in the tube or from the leakage, for there was the effect, and that was a sufficient com mercial obstacle. To Mr. MILNER, Mr. Locke replied that, on the whole, he thought the prolongation of the tube was likely to diminish the ♦elocity. To Mr. ALEXANDER, Mr. Locke said that he had never stated this to any Committee, for he merely looked at the matter as a oommereial question—so much power lost, so much coal used, so much expense incurred. The increased length increased the eakage ; but by increasing the power of the engine—by increasing he diameter of the piston and the air-pump—more than propor. ionably, the effect of the increased leakage might be overcome. GROUP X. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN LINE. At the sitting of the Committee this day, the intermediate traffic evidence was resumed. Mr. Pollock, accountant and commission agent at Lincoln, de posed thht 20,000 tons of coals per annum were received and con sumed in that town. The consumption of other articles of domestic necessity was equally great. The transit of those articles by the proposed line would be greatly facilitated, and the expense consi derably lessened. Mr. Bartholomew, land agent near Lincoln, was the next wit ness; his testimony was corroborative of that already given by other land agents. General Johnson was then examined by Mr. HILDVAItD, to show the superiority of the Cambridge and Lincoln to the London and York line. It passed through the centre of the country, and through a far more populous district; it would, therefore, afford greater facilities for the accommodation of the traffic of the district. After a short cross-examination by Mr. KINOLAKE, The Committee announced that they would sit from half.pasi eleven o'clock to.morrow till three, and then adjourned. CittOUT z. THE GREAT.

It had been proved hi evidence that there Was an error in some places of tlB feet, and in other t!lAces of twenty feet, which errors extended for several miles alor;k the line. In the Bth Victotia, chap. 90 sect. 11, it would be found, that the maximum Vatiatitlti allowed between the real levels and the plattS and sections deposited was only five feet, and two feet in and tam bi plsrta Bcar which buildings were erected, tkeISIS IBF Vdn's'eini of tfre proprietor be first obtained. It was OtlYlPitli list some such restriction should be imposed on the L":“lowners, who would be subjectedhava their soil cut up and carved to any extent ibat might seem tight to parties who were e'leged in the construction of railways. In the case of ' the Cambrridge and Lincoln line, the Bill was thrown out for a variation of 10 fact, In the case of the South Wala line, which was recently thrown out, the objection whirls %vas fatal to it was, that a part of the line was laid down contingent on obtaining the consent of the landholders, who were not then before the Committee. Now, in this case, if they passed the proposed line, they would be flying in the face of that decision, and they would pass the Bill contingent on the consent of the land holders, for they had never been consulted as to the additional cuttings which would be required. On those grounds, as also be cause it would be certain to be thrown out before the Committee of the Lords, they should at once stop all further proceedings. The Learned Counsel concluded an able address, by calling on the Committee not to lend the sanction of the House of Commons to a measure which must end in nullity. Mr. Mortenv thought the case which had been adopted by the Learned Counsel was the most extraordinary ever pursued. In the whole course of fr)ii I add me, he had gone upon the assumption that the points to which he referred had been proved in evidence. He did not wait for the rebutting evidence which he (Mr. Murphy) would bring forward, and which wou'd completely upset the evi dence on which he relied. Some discussion then took place as to whether Mr. Cockburn should be allowed to address the Committee again on the general merits of the question, after the rebutting evidence was gone into. The room was then cleared to enable the Committee to decide on the . point. On our re-admission, the CHAIRMAN announced that the op posing counsel should have the liberty of addressing the Committee on the general merits after the rebutting evidence was heard, and that Mr. Murphy should have the privilege of replying to that speech if he thought proper. The CHAIRMAN then told Mr. Murphy to proceed with the re butting case. Mr. MURPHY said that, in consequence of the strange, and, as it appeared to him, irregular course which the proceedings had taken, he was not then prepared to bring forward his engineering evi dence to rebut the case of opposing counsel, but if the Committee would allow him till Monday he should have all his witnesses in attendance. The Committee acceded to the request, and adjourned till twelve o'clock on Monday. SUMMER CIRCUITS. (From Last Night's Gazttte.) CROWN-OFFICE, JUNE 20, 184.5.

On Wednesday evening the tenth annual festival of this admirab:e Institution was celebrated at the Freemasons' Ta vern, when about 150 members of the masonic order and their friends sat down to a very excellent dinner, which was served up in the Messrs. Bacon's best style. The object of the Asy lum is to provide that shelter and support in his latter days for the worthy, aged, and decayed Freemason, which nearly all other classes have already done for those connected with their happier hours, and dependant on their benevolence; and it cer tainly seems strange that while England abounds in homes of benevolence for the distressed, that the aged and decayed Free mason alone should be without this cheering prospect—an ano maly rendered more striking from the fact that no body of men has had higher patronage, richer members, or more bene volent objects. The chair was taken by B. B. Cabbell. Esq., who was sup ported by the Rev. Mr. Laing, Dr. Lane, William Shaw, Esq., E. Brewster, Esq., &c. As is usual upon this annual re-union, a concert forms part of the festival, and on the present occasion the following ladies and gentlemen gave their services gratuitously : —The Misses Williams, the Misses Turner, Miss Hill (pupil of Signor Negri), Miss Julia Warman (pupil of Mr. Crouch) fantasia on the pianoforte ; Mr. F. Chatterton, solo on the harp ; Signor Brizzi, Mr. Genge, Signor Furnasari, Signor Corelli, Mr. C. E. Horn, Mr. Jolley and his pupils, Mr. Kingsbury, Signor Ferrari, Mr. Collyer, and Mr. F. N. Crouch The cloth haviog been removed, and the usual loyal toasts given from the chair having been responded to with enthu- siasm, The CHAIRMAN gave the health of the Earl of Zetland, the Grand Master of the Order of Masons. He then gave the Grand Masters of the order in England and Scotland. Mr. Moann returned thanks for the latter proposition. The CHAIRMAN said they had now arrived at the chief business of the evening, which was to drink prosperity to the Aged and Decayed Freemasons' Asylum.—( Hear, hear. In making this proposition he felt some difficulty, for he knew he was unequal to the task of doing justice to the object which they had in view, in carrying forward this in. stitution. The Chairman then alluded to some differences which existed In the mind of the late illustrious Grand Master (the Duke of Sussex) in respect to the establish ment of the Asylum ; but observed, that as the great prin ciple of Masonry was charity in its fullest extent, they were bound to believe—and he was sure they felt as be did in this respeet—that the illustrious person to whom he had referred, was actuated by the purest principles of honesty in the course which he adopted on this subject ; for he was a man whose high attainments, whose honest y of purpose, and liberal and enlightened understanding, outshone even his rank and exalted station.—( Cheers.) They had, howe v er , ca rri ed out their purposes in part, althoug h they had not yet succeeded in erecting their asylum.—( Hear.) Now, he thought, that as they had in part succeeded, they ought to see how far they would be able to establish an asylum for the widows of masons.—( Loud cheers.) He thought this principle could be admirably engrafted on that which they were now celebrating, and if it were, lid *U sere that it would meet with the cordial support of not only all good Masons+ but with the public ge neralle.—(Cheers.) The Chairman, after solicitationncing the fact that he was induced tt; take the chair at the of Pros his friend Mr. Brewster , concluLL' d proposing—" b --(Applause. the ) y perity to the Asylum for Aged Freernasoi.:. 11r. BREWSTER then, in very felicitous term, tweixled health of " Dr. Crucefix, the Treasurer of the Asylui.... Dr. CRUCEFIX returned thanks in an eloquent speech. the course of which he alluded to the difficulties with which he and those who had originated the Asylum had to contend with, in carrying out the purposes which they had in view. They had, however, succeecied so far as to be able to accumulate a fund of about 4,0001. in aid of the Asylum. He had no doubt but ultimately, and at no distant date, they would be able Telly to establish the Asylum,—( Hear.) Dr. LANE then proposed, in appropriate terms, the health of the Chairman, who briefly expressed his acknowledgments. The Vice-Presidents, the Stewards, the Press, and other toasts were proposed by the Chairman, and drunk cordially by the company. The Treasurer announced that the subscriptions of the even ing amounted to 400/. 'The singing and instrumentation during the evening were all that could be desired, and afforded unmixed delight to the company and to the ladies who occupied positions in the gal lery. Mr. Iliggans was a capital toastmaster. MEMOIRS OIL LAlii STANIIOPE ; COMPRIS ING HER OPINIONS, AND ANEdiloft, of ittE MOST RE MAKAHLE PERSONS OF HER TlMES.—These memoirs can not tail to ititerstst all classes of readers. It is justly observed in the prospeettis Of th e work :—" Throughout the whole of the brilliant period of the Ilk of her uncle, Mr. Pitt, Lady Hatter Stanhope (Who , was the pa rtner of his secret counsels) was drawii into daily intercourse with the most re markable people of the age—statevinen wits, diplomatists, men of letters and science, women of fashion and celebrity, and all the memberi of the royal family, with whom she was on terms of familiar intimacy. Her great knowledge of human charac ter enabled het to form the most accurate opinions concerning these distinguished persons, and her prodigious memory, unim paired to the last, laid up a store of personal recollections and illustrative anecdotes, such as no otheroe individual ever possessed the means of accumulatinc,. Hnvs preserved in these memoirs are no less a dmirable for freshness and raciness of style, than for the singular and striking interest of the matter. The private life of Mr. Pitt—his domestic character and habits—hitherto altogether unknown. are here brought t o light by the only individual who was admitted to his unre served confidence, and who alone understood the true elements of his nature. When Lady Hester Stanhope abandoned her own country for ever, and buried herself in the solitudes of Mount Lebanon, the novelty of her position, the marvellous authority she obtained, and the masculine vigour she displayed attracted to a remote and solitary retreat in Syria, the curio sity of Europe, and rendered her an object of universal in terest." CONVICTION FOR ARS'iN.—ln the Commission Court, Dublin, on the 17th, Patrick M`Alser, a watchmaker, was found guilty, of setting fire to his own house, and thus de stroying the extensive warehouses of Mr. J. Eliot, in Thomas-street, was sentenced to fifteen , years transportation. Previously rAlser had the reputation of a respectable trader. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. JULLIEN'S CONCERT MONSTRE. Last night will be an era in the musical annals of England. M. Jullien gave a Concert illonstre, a monster concert at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The orchestra was composed of 300 performers, and by the first talent of the day. We went to the Gardens expecting to hear a great noise—occasionally harmonious—but more fre quently discordant. We imagined that it was utterly impossible for any mortal musician to conduct an orchestra of 300 performers, so as to produce har mony. We are, however, bound to confess that we were out in our reckoning„ Under the guidance of M. Jullien, the whole 300 performers were but as parts of one great instrument. The orchestra was one great whole—one gigantic musical instrument, upon which M. Jullien played at his will. The musical performances concluded with " God save the Queen"—the National Anthem—performed as the National Anthem is in Russia, with a salvo of cannon between every eight bars. The effect was sublime, and the enthusiastic ap plause of the audience testified their delight. The concert was followed by the illuminated view of Edinburgh and the fire-works, which were most superb. The gardens were crowded to excess—so much so, that the repetition of the Monster Concert is advertised for Friday next, in order to accommodate those who were unable to obtain admission to the gardens last evening. The 'orchestra was beautifully illuminated, and the public were not backwards in patronising the amusements of these gardens. There were about 4,000 persons present. INSTITUTION of CIVIL ENGI NEERS. JUNE 18.—Sir John Rennie, President, in the chair. A paper was read by G. Edwards, member of the Institution of Civil Engineers. It described the method employed for breaking up the shoals in the river Severn, between Stourport and Gloucester. These shoals consist of marl rock, so compact and tough as to resist all attempts to break it up with the steam dredger, or by prize bars, or with a powerful species of subsoil plough. Recourse was, therefore, had to blasting with gunpowder; and the process of these operations formed the subject of the paper. It appeared that, during the summer months, there was in some plaees only two feet depth of water over some of the shoals, and the navigation was, therefore, greatly impeded. In 1842 an Act was obtained for the improvement of the Severn, and under the directions of Mr. W. Cubitt, vice president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the various works were commenced. The object was to obtain a channel with a depth of, at least, six feet of water at all times, throughout the river. Messrs. Grissell and Peto were the contractors for the work, and for them Mr. Edwards designed and executed the blasting operations. A series of rafts were moored in a line over the shoal parallel with the bank of the river. Along the centre of each raft there was an opening through which wrought iron tubes 3 I inches diameter were driven down at intervals of six feet apart, through the gravel down to the marl ; withinside these tubes the workmen used the chissel-pointed jumperbals to make the short holes to a depth of six feet below the surface. The loose stuff was extracted by an augur tool ; a cartridge of canvass, well pitched and tallowed, containing 31bs. of powder, was lowered through the tube into the hole, which was well rammed with loose marl. The charge was then fired by means of Bickford's fusee. There was generally but little apparent external effect from the spot, except lifting the pipe a few inches, but sometimes a column of water would be driven up to the height of forty or fifty feet. It was found that each shot loosened a mass of marl of conical or parabolic form, of which the borehole was the centre, and its bottom the apex, so that four adjoining shots of two parallel lines would leave between them a pyramidal piece of marl, which was removed by the dredging machine with the loose stuff. This operation of blasting was repeated in parallel lines along all the shoals, and the stuff was dredged up at the rate of 200 to 300 tons per day. The cost of the blasting was about 9s. 6d. per cubic yard. It was stated that the six principal shoals had all been success fully operated upon, and great credit was given, not only to the design, but also to Mr. Edwards, for the systematic and complete manner in which he had arranged and conducted the operations. An excellent working model was exhibited by Mr. Hyde of Otti's"steam excavator.: Several improvements appeared to have been made in its form, and the mechanical part of its con struction, adapting it for dredging under water. It was much improved, and seems now likely to become a useful and efficient instrument in engineering operations. The following papers were announced to be read on Tues day, June 24, the last meeting of the session, when the ballot for members would take plaee : " No. 729. On Siesmen's Chronometric Governor, by J. Woods, Grad. Inst. C. E. . _ _ " No. 730. On the advantages of working engines with high pressure steam expansively, &c., by J. G. Bodmer, 111. Inst. C. E." DISCOVERY OF A CONSIDERABLE DEPOSIT OF GUANO AT LAWRENCE ISLAND, NEW SOUTH WALES. The following letter, received at Lloyd's on Saturday, is of importance, and will be read with great interest by those en gaged in the guano trade : " Downing-street, June 19, 1845. " Sir,—l am directed by Lord Stanley to transmit to you the accompanying copy of a dispatch which his Lordship has received from the Governor of South Australia, reporting the discovery of a considerable deposit of guano at Lawrence Island, within the government of New South Wales, and ex pressing his opinion that it will oe found in large quantities upon many islands on all the coasts of New Holland. " Lord Stanley further directs me to request that you would move the Committee of Lloyd's to apopt such measures as may appear to thorn best adapted for giving general publicity to Captain Greig's dispatch. His Lordship would, however, wish that it should be clearly understood that it is not in his power to guarantee to any ship-owners who may engage in the removal and conveyance of the guano in question, an exemp tion from such charges as the local Governments of the British settlements in New Holland may see fit to impose on the re moval of that article " T am, Sir, your obedient humble Servant, (Signed) " G. W. HOPE. W. Dobson, Esq. Secretary, Lloyd's." The dispatch allude d to above is in substance as follows: " A considerable deposit of guano had been discovered upon Lawrence Island. lying in 38 deg. 23 S. latitude and 141 deg. 35 East long., immediately off Cape Nelson, and within the ter ritory of New South Wales. This deposit is represented as being less rich than that in South America, but accounted for from the sample having been taken from the surface. • UNITED ANCIENT ORDER OF DRUIDS.-The bien nial delegated meeting of this society assembled at the Durham Ox Inn, in this town, on the 17th instant, for the transaction of general business connected with the various districts and lodges of which the Order is composed. Representatives were present' from Leeds, Des by, Dewsbury, Birmingham, Bradford, London, Leices ter, Surrey, Kent, Essex, Nottingham, and many other towns and villages to which branches of the Order are extended. Theauditors appointed to examine the accounts of the Board of Direction, presented the following report to the dele gates:-" Gentlemen -We have carefully examined the ac counts of the Board of Direction for the last two years, and it is with a high degree of satisfaction that we are enabled to report to you their perfect correctness, at the same time it is but an act of justice to the secretary and the other officers of the Board, to declare that they have been kept in a remarkably clear and systematic manlier, and that the thanks of the Order are due to them for their very efficient services, Signed, Samuel Mills, Bir. mingham ; John Day, Letcetter ; James Wormald, Leeds." Various subjects requiring their adjudication, were brought be fore the notice of the delegates, and occupied their attention until the close of the day's proceedings. Business was resumed the next morning, and in the course of the day the pro posals for alterations in the constitutional laws, by which the order is governed, were discussed, the details of which would, of course, be out of place in our columns. The society, in respecta. bility, is second to none in existence; and it is only to be re gretted that the principles on which it is governed were not generally adopted many years since. It now receives the patronage of many individuals in the highest stations of life, including Mem. bers of Parliament and clergymen of various denominations, who are aware of the benefit accruing to the working-classes by the establishment of societies of a similar nature. Theological and political discussions are entirely prohibited at the meetings, as also everything of a profane or obscene nature, which are only calculated to debase the mind of man. The executive Government is vested in a board of directors in London, of whom the president is Mr. S. Burke; the vice presi dent, Mr. H Flowers; the treasurer, Mr. Scoton ; and the seers tary, Mr. G. Elliott. Yesterday (Thursday) the delegates resumed sitting, and had not closed their labours when we went to press. Nottingham Review.

On EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF RESLISCITATIoN• - ,riened at Thursday an accident of a very painful character hal the entrance of the East India Docks, whilst some flarge. Indlainen were leaving on their passage outwards. One of them was the Widmer Castle, and as she was being hauled along the lock of the entrance, the crew, who generally stop with their friends on the pier-head, wishing them good bye, until the last moment, commenced clambering up the sides in a very hazardous a nd daring manner. During the con fusion two sailors, one a boatswain's mate, named Rogers, were no ticed to miss their footing or hold, and instantly fell into the water. A noble fellow belonging to the same ship, in a moment precipi tated himself into the dock, for the purpose of saving his ship mates, and succeeded in preserving one of them. Rogers, how. ever, could not be seen, and the heroic fellow before alluded to, once or twice dived down, in the hope of catching hold of the mate. Not succeeding, the drags were promptly thrown in, and in about five minutes the unfortunate man was brought up, apparently life less. The body was considerably swollen by the water it con. tained, and by many his restoration was considered perfectly hope less. The instructions, however, of the Royal Humane Society were strictly acted upon, and the poor fellow was carried to the guard-house of the dock. He was promptly operated upon by Messrs. 13Ioinfield, 13roadwater, and Bailie, surgeons, of I'oplar, and in the course of half an hour he showed symptoms of animation. In the subsequent quarter of an hour he was able to talk rather humorously ; but in the following hour rather dangerous symp toms came on-viz., congestion of the lungs, which frequently terminates in death, after resuscitation. The surgeons remained strict in attendance upon him, and at four o'clock he was in a shocking state. Great interest is excited as to his fate. SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN FLEET-STREET.-On Thursday evening, shortly beftre eight o'clock, an accident of a frightful nature took place at the corner of Bouverie- street, in Fleet-street. It appears that an elderly gentleman, named Le Hunt, residing in Gough.square, was, with many other persons, standing in front of a shop, viewing some pictures, when a coal.waggon, turning sharp round from Fleet.street, caught Mr. Le Hunt by the arm, and crushed him be. tween it and the post which stands at the corner of the street. He was immediately picked up in a state of insensibility and carried to his residence, when it was discovered that the right arm was completely flattened, and the whole of the right side lacerated in a frightful manner, leaving no hope of his recovery.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STIV _ Sta,—Having been a passenger in the Great Western express train, which left Paddington on Tuesday morning last, at a quarter before ten, and heving read various accounts of the acci dent which occurred to such train, I deem it right to transmit to you, for the information of the public, sundry particulars which came under my notice. We were travelling between Paddington and Slough, at a speed of about sixty miles an hour, when suddenly I felt something unusual in the motion of the train, and immediately we were en veloped in a dense cloud of dust. The passengers at each windo by a simultaneous impulse , drew up the g lasses. While the% were doing so I exclaimed " There is certainly something wrong; and scarcely had I uttered the words when our carriage began to incline on one side ; it then fell heavily to the ground, and toppling over settled ultimately at the bottom of an embankment, with its wheels in the air. In a case of this kind it is impossible accurately to measure time, or to give a very correct notion of one's feelings. There was an interval, however, during which I thought, and felt that I was in a state of extreme peril, but that, however great the danger might be, I could do nothing to escape from it. I sat quietly, therefore, without moving limb or muscle, and, strange to say, without the slightest sensation of fear. When the carriage fell I was dashed out of my seat, and as it turned over I was turned too, and for a few seconds I lost the power of vision. When sight was restored I found myself at the bottom of the inverted carriage, looking through a broken window upon a grassy bank. During the whole of this time there was no shriek, scream, nor expression of pain from any one in my carriage. All was silent—a solemn, awful silence, such as pervades the chamber of the dead. The first words that met m • ear were those of a soft, sweet, female voice, exclaiming, " Thank God, we are not hurt !" The voice was that of a lady who had been sitting opposite to me, and who was now lying by my side, in a positiOn which manly de corum forbids me to describe. Thinking she ha, l been premature in concluding no one was hurt, she said to me, e Are you hurt, Sir ?" And on my answering in the negative, 5, se repeated, " Thank God ! thank God !" Similar inquiries of othCrs led to repetitions of the same pious ejaculation on the part of the lady, and in which we all fervently joined. We then crept composedly one by one out of the broken window. The scene that preseLlted itself outside baffles all attempt at description. The engine and tender had altogether disappeared. Some yards in advance of ue was seen the luggage van, still on the line of road. The first second-class carriage of the train had been forcibly wheeled round in a transverse direction across the rails, and had there come to a dead stand, deeply embedded in the ballasting. Three carriages were at the bottom of the embankment ; two lying on their sides broken and splintered; and the third (in a compartment of which I had been) was completely turned over, as before stated, and dreadfully fractured at one end. MI the carriages were soon emptied of their inmates, and we found, from mutual inquiries, to our great satisfaction, that there was no loss of life. I was deeply grieved, however, to perceive many evidences of serious bodily injury. The faces of all were begrimed, and their apparel covered with dust. One was seen limping along, another complained of his arm, another of his side; one was bleeding from the nose, another from the head, and the face of one was cut and contused in a most frightful manner. All, however, whether injured or not, seemed actuated by one and the same philanthropic desire of alleviating as far as possible the suffer. ings of their fellow passengers. lu a few minutes a great number of labourers were seen running to the spot, and several horses also arrived. I heard some one be longing to the Company beg of a labourer to assist in removing the carriage which hid got across the line. " Who is to pay me?" said a surly voice. I looked at the man, and indignantly mut. tered, "The devil!" What else was said to him I know not, but he seemed satisfied and went to his work. In about half an hour an engine with some carriages arrived from Slough, bringing a surgeon. He was pressed to attend first upon a gentleman of wealth and high consideration. His answer was characteristic of a humane, a noble, and a generous mind— " Take me first," said he, " to him who is most injured ; I care not what may be his name or station." While we were detained at Slough I saw two ladies carried away helpless and insensible. I was told that one had received a severe concussion of the brain, and that there was little hope of her reovery. As to the cause of the accident I cannot speak with any degree of certainty, but it is my strong impression that the portion of the line upon which we were travelling at the time the accident oc curred had been and was then under repair, and that, through some unaccountable carelessness, our train was allowed to run upon rails and sleepers, which, though arranged probably in their proper position, were not permanently fixed or adequately secured. This was the opinion of all the passengers with whom I conversed on the subject, and I have little doubt that a searching investigation will end in confirming that opinion. I fear that one of the most serious sufferers from this accident will be my highly esteemed and valued friend, Mr. W. Miles, the Member for Soniersetshire, whose arm was almost wrenched from his body, and who yet insisted on proceeding to join his family at Bristol. I witnessed and shall never forget his patient endurance for several hours of the most agonising bodily torture. For my part, I have great reason to be thankful. A few trifling bruises of the arm, and a slight occasional dizziness of the head, are all the injuries I have sustained.—l am, Sir, your most obedient ser vant, REGINALD J. BLEWITT. Llanturnam Abbey, Newport, Monmouthshire, June 20. LONDON CUTANEOUS INSTITUTION.—It will be sees from an announcement in another part of the paper, that the first Anniversary Dinner in aid of the funds of this Charity will be held on the 3d of next month. During the past year it has relieved upwards of 2,000 poor persons, and is weekly admitting fifty or sixty new cases, who have the be nefit of the flee use of the most extended suite of baths for medical purposes in the metropolis. TROOPS FROM CALCUTTA.—CIIATIIAM, JUNE 20. —On Thursday afternoon, the 19th instant, arrived the several detachments at the Invalid Depot, Casema , e Barracks, Brompton, consisting of one sergeant.major, two sergeants, two corporals, and five privates of the 3d Light Dragoons; and 16 privates belong ing to the 16th Lancers, with one colour.sergeant of the 3d Buffs, that was left behind by :he regiment when it sailed for England; three privates of the 9th Foot; one colour-sergeant, three sergeants, and thirty-nine privates of the 31st; one colour sergeant and one private, 39th ; two privates of the 50th ; and nine women and thirty.two children belonging to the above. The detachments were in charge of Lieutenant Grey of the 39th, and came from India in the ship Prince of Wales, 1,350 tons burden, Captain Hopkins. The troops embarked at Calcutta on the 17th of February last, and sailed immediately, and on arrival at the Cape the ship put in and remained seven days, taking in water and fresh previsions, and arrived off Gravesend, after an excellent passage of 122 days, and, most remarkable, although the greatest portion of the soldiera have been in India a number of years, and at the recapture of Caubul, and suffering considerable hardships in the late wars in India, not one man of them died on board. This splendid-ship brought to England several passengers, among whom was Mrs. Jewell, wife of Mr. Yewell, who has charge of a gold mine, and Mr. Hill, an indigo planter (the former lost a child by death); Captain Salmon, of the Hen. East India Company's artillery, with many other officers in the Company's service. Dr. Clark, a civilian, had medical charge of the vessel. A CouNTERFEIT PRESENTMENT.—We never could make out what Sir Robert Peel's speeches were like till our last visit to the Royal Academy, when it struck us that they bore a remarkable resemblance to Turner's pictures. Both of them are admirable, but neither of them understood. Sir Robet Peel's speeches, ton, like Mr. Turner's pictures, are always an illustration of the " Fallacies of Hope."—Punch. On Thursday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, as Mr. Frederick Burton, the usher of the Greenwich Police-court, was returning home, after delivering over tothe Go. vernor of Kingston gaol aman who had been convicted of sr,:ug. gling, and on entering the station to go by the first train for Lon don, he observed four suspicious looking men get out of the train from Moulsey. Mr. Cornell, the deputy.governor of Kingston gaol, was in his company, to whom he mentioned the circumstance, and they both watched the parties closely, who, on being observed, en. dcavoured to make off. Three out of the four succeeded in slipping through the station into the town, and escaped. The prisoner rushed into the pay office, sat down, and attempted to pass a bundle under the seat, when his hand was caught hold of by Mr. Cornell, and Mr. Burton, with the handcuffs he had taken off the smuggler's wrists, secured the prisoner, and conveyed him to the police station. On the bundle being examined, nine large table. spoons, four silver forks, two silver ladles, two silver salts, and other articles were produced, wet with gravy; and, on searching his person, other valuable property was found, which, it is fully expected will be owned when the prisoner Is brought before the magistrates. OF MISS L I NWOOD.-BEQUEST TO THE CROWN.—The will and codicil of the late Miss Mary Linwood ' (whose copies of pictures, executed on worsted, have excited general admiration) have just been proved in Doctors' Commons, by Mr. B.

THE CONSERVATORY AT 13UCKINGIIAM PALACE.- We hope and trust, that for the credit of the country, the Corn , missioners of Woods and Forests will talc? an early opportunity of remedying the defects in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. It is certainly a disgrace to the royal residence that the conservatory has never been finished, and that it should be left in a condition to he a perfect nuisance to the place. Her Majesty could not set foot ,in it without being thoroughly disgusted, and nobody can walk s-ross it without danger. The whole thing would cost 5001. to complete it as it ought to be, and furnish it with appropriate plants.—Gdrdener's Gazette.
