LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MORNING SUN_ 7 OCTOBER 16, 1844. - We at first supposed to be connected with this event is but an attendant upon another fearful accident and loss of life : PRICE sd. LOSS OF THIRTEEN LIVES. " Since the above statement was in type, we have as • certained that it is erroneous in some particulars, and we have also found that one melancholy circumstance which was supposed to have a connexion with the collision with the Iron Duke is but an event attend a nt upon ano ther fearful disaster, resulting in the loss of seven ad ditional lives. THE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE O'CLO C K , i n Ti me f or the EARLY TRAINS and TOWN DELIVERY; a SECOND EDITION (Evening Sun) u Published in Time for the AFTERNOON TRAINiq axd a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN O'CLOCK, for POST, containing , PARLIAMENTARY and all other NEWS in LONDON up to that hour.

PUBLICATIONS, " We find that six men left the Ilesperus—the chief ' mate, boatswain, steward, one seaman named Leonard, and the two boatmen—and not five only, as above stated. We learn also that about the same time that the above accident occurred, a boat, having on board seven sea men, left the ship Glasgow, a North American vessel, which was then anchored off Seacombe ; that they have not since been heard of, but that the boat in which they were is the one described in the foregoing narrative as having been cast up near the Magazines. The boat which was swamped by the Iron Duke was found in the Rock-gut. The unfortunate being who hailed the Red wing was, undoubtedly, therefore, one of the crew of the Glasgow's boat, and we hold the opinion the more confidently because any remnant of the boat of the Hes perus could not possibly have reached the anchorage ground of the Redwing, off Monk's-ferry, in the then state of the wind and tide. MR. AINSWORTH'S NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY GEORGE CRUIKSHANK, stone pillars, while the body of fire was raging beneath, were so charred and splintered by the intensity of the heat, that they resembled the fretted pillars of some an cient monastery which had been worn away by the lapse of years, and the destructive hand of time, while the wreck of the several locomotives was to be seen along the extensive line of shedding, showing a most serious loss of this most valuable property of the company. The total amount of the damage done was computed at upwards of 25,000/. Just ready, in 3 vols., AINT JAMES'S; OR, THE COURT OF QUEEN ANNE. By W. HARRISON AINSWORTH, Esq.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per annum, on the Sum insured to all Policies of the Participating Class from the time they wet e effected. The Bonus added to olicies from March, 1834, to December 21, 1840, is as follows : Sam Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured.

FORGERY.—CAUTION.— Some unprincipled persons are advertising spurious Teas under a forged title, in the hope of passing them off as Captain PIDDING'S TEAS. Pur chasers of his Howqua's Teas will observe that all genuine packages bear his signature thus—" Captain John Rhodes Pidding, Hon. Com pany's Service." The advantages possessed by Captain Pidding— among others, the having secured for himself the exclusive importa tion of these Teas—are the result of eight voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country. Captain Pidding has only two agents in London—Verrey, 229, Re gent-street, ourner of Hanover-street ; also 3, Pall-mall, next the Haymarket ; wad T. Littlejohn and Son, 77, King William-street, City. For country agencies, address to Captain Pidding, College-hill.

GLOBE.—Political causes, to which it is impos sible to attach any credit, have been assigned for King Louis Philippe's change of route, so naturally accounted for by the weather. The departure of the King of the French from our shores has not lacked awful elemental accompaniments ; and super stition has not failed to croak its usual forebodings from them. " The sky at this time," says a Con temporary's correspondent on their Majesties' arrival at Gosport, " was obscured by clouds of the most threatening nature. Even before the arrival of the royal party in the Victualling-yard the rain had already commenced to fall heavily, and the cir cumstance of a vivid flash of lightning, accom panied by a long roar of thunder, occurring just before their entry, was the cause of some curious observations among the superstitious." Fire from heaven was left at Portsmouth ; and fire on earth encountered at New Cross :—" His Majesty the King of the French arrived at the station about eleven o'clock, and to get to the platform the royal carriage had to pass over several lengths of hose whilst the engines were at work. The scene at that moment was one of intense interest. The appearance of the troops who formed the royal escort, the reflection of the flames upon their bright helmets and accoutrements, the roaring of the engines working, the shouting of the firemen, and the huzzas of the crowd in honour of the French monarch,. excited a feeling that can with difficulty be descpbed. For some minutes the carriage remained stationary, and his Majesty viewed from the window the progress of the flames, which were within a hundred feet of him, r the heat at that time being very great. ,, W e do not know what antiquity would have augured from these phenomena ; but, in our view, the rapid and skilful adjustment to awkward circumstances may be accepted, as regards the future, in the light of good rather than of evil omen. Incidents which would have overpowered a rrangem e n t s o f l e ss civilised tunes, create no confusion—though some circuitousness—in the route of royalty ; and we trust the political storms which have likewise beset it may prove equally powerless to frustrate the ultimate attainment of the great end of peace and friendship amongst all nations —an object dependent so mainly upon France and England. STANDARD.—It is the cardinal sin of a certain ostentatious order of modern philanthropists, that they denounce or ridicule every plan for amelior ating the condition of their species, which does not originate with themselves. No sooner is a society formed for the relief of one class of sufferers than they are sure to suggest another, in their estimation, infinitely more necessitous. Cha rity must put on their spectacles, or she is nothing worth. She must not presume to alleviate any sort of misery but that which they have ticketed as best entitled to public sympathy. No scheme which does not minister to the morbid vanity of this order of philanthropists, by the adoption of their crotchets and the promulgation of their prejudices, can hope for their approbation. They profess to be sensibly alive to the miseries of the poor, but will not entertain any plan for their relief which goes forth to the world without their imprimatur. Nor is this all. The public is not only called upon to meet out its benevolence by their bushel, but must agree with them in their notions of the causes of the evil to be remedied. To judge from the speeches of the small knot of exhibitors at the Manchester Athenaeum, who rejoice in the designa tion of " Young England," and the extravagant eulogies which have been heaped upon them in a newspaper which they have, with great pro priety, selected as their organ, they would seem to have patented all the philanthrophy which can have any possible reference to the impr ovemen t o f the condition of the labouring classes. Their last discovery (cricket and public gardens having been, if we remember aright their panacea at Manchester) is the " cottage allotment system," which, from the tone of their speeches at Bingley, one would suppose had been patented by them, instead of having been in successful operation in all parts of the country for upwards of 30 years. Who that is acquainted with the labours of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, when Bishop of Chester, from twenty-eight to thirty years ago, re quires to be assured of the advantages of such a system, when the labourer, whether in the factory or the field, has leisure for the occupation it invites ? Of what service, however, it will be to the opera tives of Mr. Marshall and Mr. Gott of Leeds, whose whole lives from daylight until long after sunset are spent i n th e unw h o l esome atmosp h ere o f a cloth-mill, we have yet to learn. As little can we n o l s k a t eb b noa factorynti tfi e i o r t innings s utsi a te operativeßop noi understand how the fact that Lord John Man nersc til atd to ot o in cessants o v i o, s hf e l t a th b he o er u r ph requires .aerk‘will l and n (bl u e breath fourteen I: f ovt r e e d‘Te s Nar i nely i rals a elt i oa r tutgh t ir:e o se, ooi r bsf e j vce over wroughticast•l e his jaded energies, is a fact which cannot be disputed • gardens r a d e condition pr t e o pa a r v a a t i i l on for or to cultivate the plot of ground which ib him selfjuntl his master's kindness may have allotted to him, is much more questionable. Even more improbable is it, that the . agricultural labourer will be attracted to such pursuits, after a hard day's work, by the mere s ight of Lord John Manners, " the son of a duke," no d grealsateenfYeit een'irsiai cricket with the agri cultural with his coat off and a bat in his hands. Were either th 3 allotment system or cricket, however, likely to prove as great an alleviation of the condition of the poor as Lord John Manners professes to believe, neither he nor his brother philanthropists have any right to appropriate the suggestion as their own. Long before his Lordship and Mr. D'lsraeli, who has lived somethi ng lik e h alf a century, were born, such exhibitions of sympathy for the poor were of common occurrence among the higher classes, and we rejoice to add, that the disposition is even now far more general than the Young England coterie would appear to suppose. Had his Lordship filled the bellies of the labourers of Bingley, before he " doffed his coat to bat Jem's ball," he would, we doubt not, have had to deal with more active and cheerful competitors. To provide cricket for men who are engaged in the most fatiguing occupations during the whole day in the open air, is, surely, a work of supererogation. A good supper, without a lord for a competitor, and a comfortable " settle," would be much more germane to the matter. As for the poor operative of the cloth or cotton factory, his cramped limbs and exhausted frame would hardly be provoked to such an exercise as cricket, even with the temptation of a Lord for a batman. Such suggestions sound well enough in oratorical displays of the kind usually supplied by Young England, but are they practical ? Certainly not, until accompanied by much more substantial alleviations. The novelists and poetasters of whom this ambitious little clique is composed are not much better political economists than they are litterateurs, and have as much defied the axiom of Pope (" drink deep or taste not"), in one capacity as they have in the other. We know not the motive which has prompted the adoption of the generic designation they have selected; but if a perfect ignorance and obli viousness of all that was accomplished before they arose on the political horizon, be considered their qua lification, they are young enough in all con science. We respect benevolence of motive, be the proposed panacea ever so eccentric ; but there is something so impudent in the attempts of these five or six old and young gentlemen to persuade the peo ple of England that they are the only scions of the aristocracy (?) who care a straw about them—some thing so exquisitely absurd in what the Morning Chronicle happily calls their " solemn dishing up of e p e h n i l t a e n re t ho p a t p i ic oh o d e d f s t a h n e d i r e n p d r e s , e ' e ' e a d s i h t srs o r e I d ,h e e r l l a y n y out graveof place.

NEW INVENTIONS IN DRESS AND USEFUL LUXURIES. The forms and varities of costume, and the multi plicities of elegant articles of personal and house hold luxury, have attained to such hiqh artisti c p er • fection, that one can h a rdly, with justice, refuse to the inventors the merits and honours hitherto exclusively accorded to the professors of what are designated, par excellence, the fine arts. The utilita rianism of the age is beginning to make little dis tinction between the creators of what is ideal or abstracted, and what is real or of positive use, un less it be in favour of the latter. Pe o pl e now argue—lf the sculptor require . genius, to dispos e gracefully the drapery around marble images —if the painter must be gifted with divine inspirati on , t o give beautiful shapes and brilliant colours to the ac cessories of his paintings—must not he who clothes the living man with classical and tasteful gar men t s , or he who invents new and exquisite articles of re finement for daily purposes, be equally endowed with the highest ment a l a ttribute ? Sculpture, painting, poetry, and music will not much longer be allowed to monopolise the fame and glory of the fine arts— they must condescend to share them with the other branches of creative genius. At this moment, visit the capital of the Russian empire, admire the fault less form of some fascinating princess, as she passes you on her prancing steed, the chances are you will be told she is indebted, for more than half her ele gance, to the Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent-street, who are the artificers of her splendid riding-habit. See the Emperor himself in his sable pelisse, looking, as he does, every inch a monarch—you will be in formed that he too has received the embellishments of his outer man from the same London fashioners. To the Prussian metropolis, likewise, Prince William bears with him many samples of the perfect taste of these artists, while the young and handsome Due de Montpensier is about to astonish the Parisians with novelties in dress derived from the same source. Talk of poets and painters—here is indeed a substantial European reputation. Take another instance. Enter the boudoir of some fair aristocrat ; note the rare col lection of superb bijouterie that surrounds you on every side, the glittering albums, the fancifully em bellished writing-desk, the gorgeous inkstands, the matchless vases of Bohemian glass and other crystals, the innumerable nick -nackeries, brilliant and beautiful beyond expression —with each and all of these the name and fame of Messrs. Barry and Son, of the Egyptian Hall, are linked as indissolubly as those of Corregio and Raffaelle with the Magdalene and the Saint Cecilia. Examine the perfumed notes of invi ration and the visiting cards that adorn your drawing room table, and mark the admirably-emblazoned crests of the fair senders engraved and painted thereon; these, too, proclaim the art and skill of these inventors of all that is brilliant in such articles of luxurious fashion. Upon taking up Mrs. Postan's agreeable work, " Facts and Fictions," the other day, we were much amused with a description of the anxiety and impatience evinced by the ladies of Bom bay, on the arrival of each vessel from Europe, to possess themselves of the latest inventions of the cele brated modistes, Mesdames Herbault Nieces, of the Rue Menard, Paris. N ot a pelisse, nor a mante l ette nor even a ribbon, would one of them select until she had heard the last fiat pronounced by these oracles of extreme gout. H ere i s a fame, not merely European but universal. The renown of Alexander the Great reached not so far ea s t war d as that o f t h ese f amous Parisian milliners. Remark any strikingly delicate richness ; or ad m i re any of those most stylish green, porcelain blue, or d a hli a-t i nted s ilk , o f surpass ing richi combinations of tarta ns , woven into the lovel i est tex tures of unnumbered di es—infallibly you w i ll be answered that they are the produce of the looms of Lyons, and that they h ave i ssued from the magaz i ne of Messrs. Gay and Denis, Rue de la Vrillire, Paris. The inventors of novelties in dress and useful luxuries have no right to complain of any want of appreciation in the present generation. DEATH OF THE DUCHESS OP MARLBOROUGH.— We regret to have to announce the decease of the Duchess of Marlborough, at Blenheim Palace, on Satur day last. Her Grace had only returned home the pre ceding evening from a lengthened visit to her sister, Lady Feversham, in Yorkshire. Her Grace is known to have been long in a feeble state of health, but not the slightest apprehension was entertained by her medical adviser of her being quite equal to the journey. A sudden and unexpected change occurred on the Saturday. Dr. Wootton, of Oxford, was immediately called in, but her Grace expired in the presence of the Duke and Lady Louisa Churchill the same evening. This melancholy and unlooked for event has placed the whole of her Grace's family in the deepest affliction. Her Grace, who was born on the 29th March, 1798, was eldest daughter of George, eighth Earl of Galloway, and was married to the present Duke on the 11th of Jan., 1819. CATASTROPHE AT HASWELL COAL -PIT.---The Lon don public may be considered as the cause of this lamentable occurrence. Why ? Because they are so eager to purchase coals, that they raise the price, and induce the pit-owners to work their pits on the double shift system, a second set of men entering the pit before the first is out, leaving no time for a due examination. It is notorious that coals of late years are cheaper in De cember than in June, and dearer in October than in any month of the year. Yet in this month are there twice as many orders given as in any other month, and at its close coals always decline. The last week in November they are lower than the first, and the close of the year f►nds them cheaper than during the previous three months. (There are 927 ships in the coal trade, being nearly double what are required as an average number.) DEATH OF A PROPHETESS.—On Saturday Mr. W. Baker, Deputy Coroner, held an inquest at the Coach and Horses, Homerton, on the body of Rebecca Paine, aged 60. The deceased lived in Cross-street, and in ad dition to her labours as a charwoman, she had for some years lived upon the credulity of the superstitious females of Hackney, by the exercise of her assumed power of divination. Although not a duly initiated member of the " nut-brown" fraternity, her character as a prophetess brought her many dupes ; and there are numbers of the fair sex now living in the vicinity of Hackney, whose practical experience of the mutations of connubial life have led them to revile, in no measured terms, the fortune-teller of Cross-street, by whose en chantments they were led to surrender the charms of maidenhood. Last Thursday morning a little girl living in the house with the deceased, lit her fire, and on pro ceeding to awake her, found that she was dead. Medi cal aid was obtained after a lapse of two hours. The Jury returned a verdict of " Natural death." Runham, the summoning officer, stated that owing to the vagaries of the deceased, her husband had for many years parted from her. He had written to him, but had received no answer ; he (Runham) had therefore disposed of her property for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the funeral. CONFLAGRATION AT THE NEW CROSS RAILWAY STATION. One of the most fearful fires that has occurred in the neighbourhood of the metropolis for many years took place at a late hour on Monday evening, at the works attached to the station of the Dover and Brighton Railway, at New-cross, resulting in the destruction of property to an enormous amount, the principal buildings and works being totally destroyed, and vast damage done to the adjacent property. The spot in which it commenced was a loft imme diately over a large octagonal brick building, used as a store-room in the engineering department. This store room was fitted up as a painters' shop, and was upwards of eighty feet in breadth, having in its centre a lantern roof, upwards of seventy feet in height. It occupied a large area, and stood westward of the station, being ap proached by a gateway on the London side. Beneath was a repository for the locomotive engines and car riages, and it contained at the time four or five of the former (each of which, at a rough estimate, is valued at 1,8000, and also a number of tenders. The works were all shut up, and the interior of the station was in a state of animation in consequence of the approaching arrival of the King of the French, he having signified his intention of proceeding to Dover by this route. There were present Captain Charleville, superintendent of the Dover Railway ; Mr. Howell, deputy superintendent of the same line ; Mr. Cubitt, the engineer ; with several others. While the workpeople were engaged erecting the tent on the platform for his Majesty's reception, they were startled by cries of " Fire," which subse quently proved to come from the watchman. On turn ing toward the octagonal building they discovered to their astonishment the flames kindling in the upper part, among the paint stores. A general alarm was instantly raised, and on admission being obtained, the fire w a s found to have attain e d suc h a hold of the combustibles contained on the floors that it was morally impossible to prevent it from consuming those departments. The police, of whom there were a l arge num b er present, b oth of the company's and metropolitan forces, directly exerted themselves in every possible way to prevent the flames extending. Unfortunately, although the company have but recently been visited by a similar calamity, there appeared to be no provision made in cases of another emergency of the kind ; and the con sequence was, that when their engine was got to work there was not sufficient hose to reach the part in danger. From that moment the conflagration was fearfully rapid. The flames rushing through the sky light into the lantern, from whence they burst forth with increased fury. Before there was time to send informa tion of the outbreak to the engine -stations, the ascent of the flames had completely illuminated the whole of the metropolis,causing a complete turnout of all the engines. Long before any of them arrived, although not a mo ment was lost, every portion of the " octagon" was in flames, the floor and the roof had given way, and fallen upon the locomotive power beneath, which also speedily fell a scrifice, notwithstanding its almost fire-proof con struction. Previously attempts had been made to extri cate this valuable property, but unfortahately without the least beneficial effect. The railway police and work people, seeing that there was not the least chance of saving anything this building contained, directed their efforts to preventing the flames from rea c hi ng ano th er building, termed th fitting-house and carpenters' shops. These, although under one roof, were more extensive as regards depth and length than the other. They were upwards of one hundred feet long by nearly forty wide, and were contiguous to the warehouses and other buildings attached to the line. Although every person exerted himself to the utmost, the fire continued pro ress and defied all human efforts to stop it. The consternation now created was indeed be yond description, for it could be too plainly perceived that the last building would share the same fate as the previous one. About this time an engine belonging to her Majesty's dockyard at Deptford arrived, attended by a detachment of Marines, under the command of M a j or Hamilton and other oficers. The men were of great assistance; conjointly with the work-people and the po lice they sealed the walls of the warehouse adjoining the octagon, and got through the windows, and removed a vast quantity of materials used in the engineering de partment. Whilst these operations were going on, Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the southern section of the brigade, arrived with his engine from the Southwark bridge-road, and was followed by Mr. Connortt n, with the West of England engine. Both of these, as soon as possible, but with the greatest difficulty, were brought alongside the burning property to two well holes, out of which they were got to work. Subsequently arrived the brigade engines from several other stations, under the spperintendence of Mr. Braidwood, as also the County engine, with Mr. Garwood, the foreman. The whole of the force had reached the scene before ten o'clock, the fire having broken out soon after nine. The firemen at first appeared to be completely bewildered — the flames were rushing out of the roofs, and through nearly every window in the octagon and fitting departments, and were roaring with an awful sound. At the same moment, the molten lead was running from the cornices round the blazing property, thereby exposing every one to great danger. Nevertheless, every man exerted himself with the greatest intrepidity, and by that means, a long range of premises, used for the erection of carriages, was saved. There was a spacious tank between the two buildings ; but the fire was so extraordinarily fierce, that it completely reached over it, and almost set the roof in a blaze. It was indeed truly distressing to see the valuable lathes and splendid machinery in the fitting-house falling a sacrifice to the fury of one of the most alarming of all elements. There was no alterna tive ; the whole was quickly destroyed, or rendered useless. The loss in this department is also said to amount to several thousand pounds. On each side of this fitting-house, or, more properly speaking, the factory, stood, on the east the platform of the station, in the opposit e di rec ti on, t h e rema i n d er of the works, stretching along to a considerable distance. Fortunately there was a large space between sufficient to admit the firemen and others engaged in their arduous operations. For two hours and upwards the fire continued to rage with awful violence, although its progress had, to a certain extent, been stopped. The immense mass of inflammable material that the two buildings contained, with the heavy floors and roofs, caused the conflagration to be of frightful extent, the flames rising to such great altitude as to be seen from many miles distant, attract ing some thousands of persons to the spot. An unusual assemblage of police was at the scene almost as soon as the alarming discovery was made, on account of their being on the way to attend upon his Majesty the King of the French on his arrival at New-cross. These were under the direction of Superintendents May (A), M'Lean (P), and Mallalieu (II) divisions, and were of the greatest use in prevening the immense populace from breaking into the station, which otherwise there is every reason to apprehend they would have done, the pressure being so great. His Majesty the King of the French arrived at the station about eleven o'clock. To get to the platform the royal carriage had to pass over several lengths of hose, whilst the engines were at work ; the scene at that mo- ment was of intense interest. The appearance of the troops who formed the royal escort, the reflection of the flames upon their bright helmets and accoutrements— the roaring of the engines working—the shouting of the firemen, and the huzzas of the crowd in honour of th© . . . French Monarch, excited a f e eli ng th a t can with-diffi culty be described. For some minutes the carriage re mained stationary, and his Majesty viewed from the window the progress of the flames, which were within 100 feet of him. His Majesty on alighting expressed his regret at the calamity. One very fortunate circumstance was, that the wells from which the engines worked were powerfully charged with water, they being supplied by a steam engine on the works, and to this in a great measure may be at tributed the saving of the remainder of the company's property, for had it not been for this, nothing could have saved the other portion of the station from being consumed. At one o'clock a great number of the engines were still in full operation, there remaining a great body of fire in the ruins. The hose of some were direct- ing streams of water, from the warehouse and the adjacent buildings, into the burning mass beneath, whilst the firemen were stationed on all sides to prevent the flames extending. Up to this period, and an hour subsequently, several of the at taches to the King of the French, who were to follow in another train after the royal carriage, were to be seen mingled with tho police and firemen. Their dresses wonderfully contrasted with those of the fire corps, whose apparel was covered with mud, and th e i r f aces as black as sweeps. In the course of another half-hour or so the whole of the suite left the New-cross station in a special train, on their way to Dover. In consequence of the arrival of his Majesty and his subsequent departure, very little could be gleaned respecting the origin of the fire, the chief portion of the officials of the railway having to accompany the august party to its destination. We ascertained from them that the loss is partly insured in two or three offices. It is impossible to conceal the fact that some suspicion overhangs the origin of the fire. It will be recollected that a month or two ago a consider able destruction of property took place on the same line and near the same spot. On that occasion a long line of shedding and several carriages were consumed. The company entered into an investigation, which led to no satisfactory result. One remarkable fact connected with the present fire is the following :—That the work shops had been closed for some time previously, and no light has been allowed to enter that portion of the pre mises where the flames were first observed. There were in the workshops a large quantity of paint and other matter which would ignite spontaneously ; but no do e u n bt s. a rigid e inquiry will this day take place as to the trueeemployed u workpeople, it should be stated, who we the premises, were in the r ecei p t of excellent on wages, and there is no reason to believe that any of them have been the cause of this immense destruction of property. The ruins, particularly those left of the octagonal or principal buildings, as the fire gradually subsided, had a most remarkable appearance ; the upright walls of the upper story, or lantern, which was supported by four THE LEVIATHAN TELESCOPE. The Earl of Rosse read a memoir of the construc tion of his reflecting telescope at the mechanical section of the British Association at York, on Tues day last. A model of the telescope, on a small scale, for the purpose of showing the plan of mounting and of making observations, was on the table ; also a model of the apparatus with which he ground and polished the speculum. Lord Rosse commenced by explaining; the objects he had in view when he directed his attention to the construction of the telescope, and the difficulties that had to be over come. Having determined, after a consideration of the peculiar difficulties attending the construction of refracting and of reflecting telescopes, to adopt the reflecting principle, he was met in the outset by obstacles that appeared almost insurmount able, and which nothing but the most ardent and persevering efforts of ingenuity could have overcome. In the first place, ordinary speculum metal is more brittle than glass, and it is so greatly expanded by heat that it is with the greatest difficulty a large speculum can be cooled without splitting. In Lord Rosse's first attempts, he made one hundred castings without being successful. This difficulty is avoided in inferior instruments by varying the proportions of tin and copper, which form the speculum metal, also by the addition of zinc, but the brilliancy of the polish and the reflective powers are thereby greatly diminished. An attempt was next made to east a speculum of baser compound, which would not be brittle, and afterwards to plate the surface with the best speculum metal. This an swered the purpose tolerably well, but the unequal junctions of the plated metal caused diffraction of the light injurious to the distinctiveness of the image. It then occurred to him that as the splitting of spe culum metal in cooling must be caused by the irre gular manner in which the:process could be regulated, so as to make the metal cool gradually on one side, that the difficulty might be overcome. To effect this the lower part of the mould was made of iron, whilst the sides were of sand ; by which means the heated mass cooled below at a quicker rate than in any other part, that being comparatively the only cooling surface. By this means speculum metal of the re quired size would be cast without splitting, but there was found to be a defect in the metal arising from air bubbles rising through the metal. To overcome this new difficulty the under surface of the mould was made of vertical plates of iron placed closely together, and through those lamina of iron the air escaped instead of rising through the melted metal. The proportions of which the speculum metal consisted were 58.9 parts of tin and 126.4 of copper. So many minutes are required to be attended to, that even the composi tion of the melting pots was found to be essential to the perfection of the process. In the ordinary iron melting pots there are minute holes through which some portions of the tin of the speculum metal flows when melted, and deteriorates the alloy ; these holes are prevented from being formed by casting the melting pots in an inverted position, instead of erect. In gri n di ng th e speculum, which weighs three tons and three-quarters, and is six feet in diameter, it was placed in a tank of water, in which it was kept revolving, and the polishing tool, moved with two eccentrics and worked by steam power, was applied on the top. Lord Rosse minutely de scribed the contrivance for obtaining the required form, which he illustrated by reference to the model, and the required focus was obtained by observation, not by measurement. The speculum, when com pleted, had a focus of fifty-three feet, and the telescope was fitted on the Newtonian plan, the image being reflected to a hole in the side of the tube, near the top, into which the spectator looks, instead of looking towards the object. The tube weighs six tons and a half, and the joint and apparatus on which it rests weigh three tons and a half. To support this weight two high and massive walls have been built, and moveable galleries are fitted to them to elevate the spec tator, and enable him to look through the eye-glass at all elevations. It is fitted as a transit instrument, and has scarcely any other than a vertical movement, as it is intended for making observations when stars come to the meridian. To compensate in some degree for the want of a traversing motion, a reflector is used, by which means any heavenly body may be seen an hour before it comes to the meridian. In supporting the tube so as to render it manageable, by one man, large einish b o y u r n e t s e t r i p u o g is u e n w t e h i e gh g t r s eu a u re d a e s m t p h l e oy tu e b d e , i w s if e i l c e h vat d e i d m . The actual weight to be moved, therefore, does not exceed three hundred weight, and one person can elevate it with great ease. The lowest angle to which the tube can be inclined is ten degrees, and it may he raised to four or five degrees below the pole. When speaking of the power of this instrument, Lord Rosse observed, that the principal advantage to be derived from it was the far greater quantity of light which it ad mitted, for with the sam e magn ifying power, objects would be seen distinctly that would, in another tele scope of smaller aperture, be scarcely visible. By using an eyeglass he had magnified the reflected image three hundred times. He was able therefore to see with great distinctness nebulae which, in other tele scopes, though the same magnifying power might be used, would appear m er e ly as con fused patches of light. It was the examination of the nebulous bodies in the heavens that he principally had in view when he commenced the construction of the telescope fifteen years ago, and it was to one of those bodies that the telescope was first directed when completed. llis Lordship exhibited representations of several nebulae as they appeared through his smaller telescope of three feet diameter. From these drawings the nebulous bodies appear to consist of clusters of stars with one or more larger luminous bodies among them ; and in the drawing of the nebulous cluster examined through the great telescope, the stars com posing it appeared as large as stars of the first mag nitude, though the whole cluster of them when seen through a moderately good telescope, appear only as a white patch in the heavens. In most of the nebula are seen filaments of light issuing from their sides, and Lord Rosse conceives that when he brings his great telescope to bear on these filaments, they will be found to be composed of stars. In this manner his Lordship will be able to verify the ideas of astrono mers, and not limiting his discoveries to new satellites or planets, he will make known the existence of suns and of planetary systems, compared with which our celestial system is but a speck in the universe. TIIE CLOWNS' SAILING MATCH.—The third of ;hese, what at one period was considered to be an under aking of very great novelty, that of a person being milled or drawn down the river by means of four geese Ring attached to a washing-tub, came off on the river, between the Red House, Battersea, and Vauxhall-bridge, on Monday afternoon. As this was the third within a fortnight, undertaken by persons connected with Astley's Theatre, something of the novelty had declined, when, for the purpose of exciting the taste of the public, it was announced that upon this occasion A. Nelson and Twist, the pantaloon and clown, would each make a voyage in different washing-tubs, drawn by their respective teams ; this announcement, accordingly, drew together a large assemblage of persons at the Red-house, when, after a lapse of half an hour, the two aquatics, in full dress, namely, their theatrical costume, took their seats, and having picked up the reins, they each fired a pistol, when the medley procession started. They were accompanied by about 20 boats, which formed a kind of circle round the geese and tubs, and having gained the middle of the stream, they floated down to Vauxhall-bridge, which was reached by half-past five o'clock. After getting about 200 yards through the bridge, the two washing-tubs were brought up to a barge, when Nelson and Twist got out of their craft, and each putting on a great coat, were conveyed to Lyon's-yard, Stangate, where they were landed. On the passage do w n th e water was very roug h , and as the tubs were passed by the above-bridge steamers certain motions surf from them caused the tubs to perform h m e o r t o i s on o s f w th h e ic r h in a g pp o ea f re t d he no A t m to pl I b i e th q e u a i ti t )r e rei. a d g , r!, intention was to land at Westrninsetert;The,i,a; on the first eha b eb u lo t er s ti vii i i tn e l h el •alk o w f a t s h v e e s r e y n wisely n p d r e o r th k i4e g d s, b i y he th mo p b the Palace-w t t u o rb p a re n l e ,e e n s t a r n e d pe r t o it b i b o e n - . r wi e a s s , it s t o ha g t re at w , acao deemed coupled with a t h d v t i h s e ab d l i e s Whatever effect it produces fit for it N w e a ls s o a n tt a e n n d de T d w N i: i t th (l b a e st .

HIGHWAY ROEBERY.—Between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night, a man named James Isherwood was knocked down near the Manches ter and Bolton Railway station, in Bolton, by three men, supposed to be Irish labourers, who stole from his per son while he was down a patent lever silver watch, toge ther with about ss. in silver. The police are engaged in endeavouring to trace the robbers. " We have inspected the shattered remains of the un fortunate boat which was lost in the fearful collision with the Dublin steamer. The bow is broken, and, towards the stern, the bulwarks on either side, together with the seats and the upper stern-board, are swept away. The most probable exposition of the manner of the occur rence is, that the gig ran bow on to the larboard bow of the Iron Duke, accounting for the shattering of her bow ; and that, brought round parallel, to the side of the steamer by the collision, she was carried stern foremost under the paddle-floats, accounting for the extensive damage near the stern. The remnants of the boat may be seen at the south-end of the Prince's-dock, outside the walls." THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—HiS Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, who arrived on Mon day last at Witley-court from town, left on Wednesday for Windsor Castle, having received an invitation from the Queen to meet the King of the French. His Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Hesse Philipsthal, after a hasty visit to his illustrious relative the Dowager Queen, at the invitation of her Majesty, repaired to Windsor Castle, in order to join the circle assembled to meet Louis Philippe. The Prince has since returned to Witley-court. Earl Howe and Lady Georgiana Curzon arrived on Thursday from Gopsall-hall, Leicestershire. Viscountess Barrington has succeeded the Dowager Lady Clinton as Lady in Waiting on the Queen Dow ager, and accompanied by the Noble Viscount, arrived on Tuesday last from Beckett-house, Berks. Sir A. Barnard is prolonging his attendance. On Friday last the Queen Dowager and party stayins , at Witley-court went to Malvern in th ree carriages. It was about eleven o'clock when the royal party departed, relays of horses being provided at Ilenwick. Her Majesty left Malvern shortly before four o'clock. It is uncertain when her Majesty goes to Belton-hall, the Earl of Biownlow's. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Monday, at St. • George's, Hanover-square, by the Rev. Mr. Dickenson, Anna Horatio Caroline, only daughter of the Rev. .1. and Mrs. Sanford, to the Hon. Frederick Paul Methuen, eldest son of Lord Methuen. The ceremony was at tended by the following distinguished parties :—Ladv and the Hon. Miss Methuen, Sir Percy Shelley, Bart., and Mrs. Shelley, Hon. St. John Methuen, Lord William Leanox, Hon. Leicester Stanhope, Sir Watkin William Wynn, Mr. and the Misses Craven, Mr. and Miss Mor gan, Messrs. Gage, Bailey, &e. The bridesmaids were the Hon. Miss Methuen, Misses Apthorp, Seton, and Morgan. After the ceremony the party adjourned to Mrs. Sanford's residence in Connaught-place, where they partook of an elegant dfjeuner. The bride was grace fully attired in a dress of guipure over a rich white silk ; a veil of Brussels lace, wreath of orange flowers and geranium, and ornaments of pearl. At eleven o'clock the happy couple left Connaught place for Corshane Court, Wiltshire, to pass the honeymoon. Lord Methuen was unavoidably prevented attending by indisposition. ANECDOTE OF LOUIS PHILIPPE.—Some thirty years ago his Majesty the King of the French, then Duke of Orleans, was, with the other members of the Royal Family of France, a resident of Cheltenham—occupying the present Cambray Pavilion. At that time his Royal Highness entered familiarly into the society of the place, visiting and being visited by many of our then residents, who were uniformly received by him with marked courtesy, when, as the invited guests of Louis the Eighteenth, they appeared at the weekly breakfasts given by the exiled Monarch to those whom he honoured with his friendship or acquaintance. The Duke of Orleans also patronised most of the public amuse ments of the day, and wa ith his uncle, the Count d'Artois, a frequent nt at the Bazaar sales, when these took pl e old Assembly Rooms—the premises now o as Messrs. Hum phris's ironmongery stores in t gh-street, but thirty years ago one of the fashionable lounges of Cheltenham. We well remember being there one day when their Royal Highnesses were present, and attracted consider able notice : the peculiarity of their costume—the little cocked-hat and long picric generally arresting the im mediate attention of strangers. On this occasion a pair of plated telescope candlesticks were put up for sale— the fluent auctioneer expatiating, according to custom, upon their excellent quality and manufacture. There were several bidders—the Count d'Artois was one ; and the Duke outbidding his opponents, the lot was knocked down to him for lOs. ! Handing over payment for them in the silver tokens of those days, his Royal Highness received his purchase from the porter, and putting a can dlestick in each pocket, walked leisurely away, appa rently well pleased with his bargain.—Clieltemkana Loohcr-on. DARING ESCAPE OF A SOLDIER.—A private of the Royal Sappers and Miners, named Thomas Field, has just been tried by a general court-martial at Bermuda, and sentenced to transportation for fourteen years for the following offence :—He was in the prison of St. George, Bermuda, under the sentence of a court-martial for being drunk and riotous. In the company of two privates of the 20th Regiment of Foot, he broke out of gaol, and seizing a boat, the confederates made their way to sea with the intention, no doubt, of escaping to the coast of America. The loss of their rudder, how ever, compelled them to put into St. David's Island, where they were recaptured, and having been again tried by a court-martial, are now awaiting their punishment without a chance of a second,escape. REMARKABLY QUICK VOYAGE.--That -splendid and fast-sailing barque, Lord Mulgrave, Captain Lickiss, sailed froze this port on the 25th of July, for Miramichi, with a general cargo, and arrived back in the Humber on Sunday last, with a cargo of timber and deals, thus accomplishing the long voyage in and out in the almost incredible space of two months and twelve days. ‘lre believe that this is the quickest sailing voyage of the same distance ever made from this port.—Htdi Packet. The following letter has appeared in the York Courant:—" Letter from Mr. Handley to the Secretary to the London and York Railway Company.—Culver thorpe, Oct. 5, 1844.—5ir,---I have observed that, in some recent advertisements, you have re-printed the list of the original Provisional Committee for promoting Mr. Walker's line of railway from London to York, in which my name appears. From the year 1836 to the present, I have most anxiously desired to see Mr. Walker's line through Lincolnshire carried out. It was therefore with great regret I heard that, through the in delicate interference of a member of the committee, that gentleman was compelled to resign his appointment as your engineer ; but being still more anxious for the completion of one of the proposed lines through Lin colnshire, I acquiesced with my neighbours in confiding the selection to Mr. Locke. That gentleman made his final report, doubtless with his acknowledged ability ; most certainly with impartiality, for he was singularly successful in giving equal dissatisfaction to the three principal towns Stamford. Newark, and Lincoln. llowever, his reputation filled your share-lists, and raised your shares to a premium in the market, From some unexplained cause, Mr. Locke, like Mr. Walker, found it impracticable to act with your com mittee ; and at the eleventh hour you again abandon your engineer,your line, and (I must add) your good faith to the County of Lincoln, by removing your rail way westward, to Newark and Tuxford. Ceasing to re cognise in your line of to-day (what it may be next week, no man can foretel) a railway through Lincolnshire, and feeling a conviction that, under such mismanagement as that to which I have referred, no project can succeed, I am compelled to look once again to the union of Cam bridge and Lincoln as the most practicable, economical, and least competing line, and the one to which I be lieve Parliament and the public will ultimately give th eir support. support.

A " MONSTER" CABBAGE.—This week another cabbage, of extraordinary dimensions, has been exhibited at the shop of Mr. Ilidgw ay, hair-dresser, of Lowgate, the superintendent of the llesslc-road allotments, assigned to operatives by Henry Broadley, Esq., M.P. This ve getable curiosity, the Daniel Lambert of the vegetable world, was produced on the allotment of James Wincup, the grower of the one recently alluded to in our columns; it weighs four stones ; its circumference is two yards and eleven inches ; and one of the leaves measures two yards and nine inches round.
