The forms and varieties of costume, and the multi plicities of elegant articles of personal and household luxury, have attained to such high artistic perfection, that one can hardly, with .Justice, refuse to the in ventors the merits and honours hitherto exclusively accorded to the professors of what are designated, par excellence, the fine arts. 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.

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 collection 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. Exami ne th e per f ume d no t es ofinvi tation 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.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—Considerable sensation was excited in Liverpool yesterday morning by a ru mour, for which, unfortunately, there was but too much fbundation, that an attempt had been made by one of the crew, named Henry Brown, without any conceivable reason, to burn the barque Hermes, Capt. Donough, about nine miles off Holyhead. This fine first-class vessel, 241 tons, the owners of which are Messrs. Tayleur and Co., general merchants, of this town, sailed from Liverpool on Friday last for Buenos Ayres ; and, when the dreadful attempt to destroy her had been made, about six o'clock on the morning of Sunday, she was put about and brought back to Liverpool, where she arrived on Monday afternoon. I3rown, who is a native of Sweden, and an athletic fellow, of middl e age an d ordinary height, was imme diately- given into custody, and brought before Mr. Rushton yesterday for examination. He was dressed in a blue pilot cloth coat, spoke English tolerably well, and was undefended. The first witness examined was a sailor on b ' the Hermes, of the name of P arr y, w h o sa i About half-past six o'clock on Sunday morning last, I saw the prisoner rummaging about the forecastle. He took a box of matches out of one of the chests, and tore a leaf out of a book. He took the leaf out of a book belonging to a seaman named Lamas, and he also took a leaf out of a book belonging to me. lie then went and took the scuttle out, rolled the sheet of paper up, struck a match, and lit it. Im mediately after, he went down into the forefoot, came up again, stood on the edge of the scuttle, and said, " By , he would either sink her or burn her." He put the scuttle on carefully, and placed the bar over it. About half-past nine o'clock, three hours after, the men went up to reef the topsails, , and when they came down there was a smoke in the forecastle. After the ship was put about on the other tack, the smoke came up out of the scuttle. One of the sea men, James Cowan, gave the alarm, and the captain, mate, and second mate went down into the forecastle, where they discovered a fire. The chief reason I did not tell the captain before of what was said and done was because I was unwell in my hammock. The prisoner, in reply to Mr. Rushton, here said that he was not an Englishman, that he was a Swede, but that he understood the purport of the evidence. 'itness, in continuation, observed that he was an apprentice on board, and that no one saw the prisoner take the match and strike the light but himself. He had had no quarrel with the prisoner, nor had the latter any dispute with anybody on board the ship. The prisoner—Why should I go to your box for matches when I had plenty of my own ? 'Witness—l don't know. You struck the light against the side of the forecastle and put the box of matches into the chest, from which you had taken them when you got one of them out. James Cowan examined—l am a seaman on board this vessel. The prisoner asked me where was Isaac (another seaman). I belonged to the prisoner's watch, so also did the last witness, who had pains in his legs nearly all the time. About five minutes after I had been in bed in the forecastle I heard the pri soner knocking about. What he was doing I know not. It was about a quarter past six o'clock at the time. I did not hear him say anything except to ask for Isaac. The last witness did not tell me anything, when I awoke. I found the prisoner lying down when I awoke. He was lying either on a chest or in his hammock, but it was so dark that I was unable to see distinctly. 'The chests are all placed round the forecastle, on their sides. Latnas's chest was on the larboard side of the vessel, right aft, next the bulk head. The last witness lay in a hammock from the top of the forecastle. The prisoner's hammock was slung on the larboard side. The first time I heard of this was about nine o'clock, after we had put the ship about, I had been on deck about an hour at that time. The prisoner was on deck at that time also. The first witness (Parry) was the only person left in the forecastle. I smelt the fire when I went below at nine o'clock. I Vfas the first man down. I smelt it before anybody told me of it, and I gave the alarm, and brought the captain, mates, and carpenter, to the forecastle. All this time we were looking about the forecastle for the fire. Parry was still in bed. I heard Parry calling the mate once or twice. Parry knew nothing of the fire till I gave the alarm. I said some cotton must he burning, but Parry said it was not cotton. He did not tell me what was burning, nor where it was. He said nothing more. The scuttle was taken off, and a great deal of smoke came out. I looked down to see the blaze, and myself and one or two more went on deck, got some water down, and extinguished it. At breakfast I said it was a strange thing how fire could have got down, to which the prisoner replied that sticks or anything would strike a light by rubbing against each other. While he and I were talking together, the captain came forward and accused him. This was about half-past nine o'clock. The prisoner said he knew nothing about it, spoke saucily, and asked why the captain should accuse him more than any other man on board. Nicholas Donough examined—l am master of the Hermes. About half-past nine o'clock on Monday morning the mate gave me the alarm of fire, and I went down in the forecastle. On going down I saw the smoke coming up. There was a small scuttle male for the water there, and, on going down, I saw a tar barrel with the bung out, and flame coming out of the bunghole. About six feet further off it there was a bundle of oakum all on fire, which set fire to the forecastle deck. The tar barrel was bunged and quite safe before we left Liverpool. I then called the first witness, and said, that if any one knew of the fire he must be the man, as he was in the forecastle all night. Parry then said, that he saw the prisoner go down the forepeak, take a box of matches out of Lamas's chest, and a sheet of paper out of another, and light the paper and go down into the forepeak. I asked him why he did not tell me about it at once ? to which he replied, that he had no idea that the prisoner was going to set fire to anything, and that that was the reason he neglected to tell me before. He said, he thought the prisoner must have lost something, and that he wanted the light for the purpose of finding it. It was about ten o'clock when I questioned Parry. John Lamas examined—My chest was about mid ship in the forecastle. I left it open on Saturday night, with the key in it. There were some books in it, five or six. The books are at present on board the ship. There were six boxes of matches in the bottom of the chest. and one box at the top. After the fire the latter box was brought aft to the captain, and I immediately identified it as mine. The captain recalled—l never had any quarrel with the prisoner, and received a good recommendation with him. SIR JAMES GRAHAM'S MEDICAL REFORM BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The question of medical reform is one of interest, not merely to the medical profession, but to the public at large. It is of the greatest importance to society that skilful medical aid should be easily acces sible to all classes. Many complaints are male that the proposed measure of Sir James Graham will tend to give greater encouragement to quackery in medicine, and that the excluding of all but registered practi tioners from public offices, is not a sufficient protec tion, inasmuch as the wide field of private practice is left open to the fraud and cunning of daring impos tors. The necessity of restraining unqualified parties from tampering with the health of the community is insisted on. It is suggested that a fitting remedy would be found in a process of summary conviction before a bench of magistrates. But, however plausible such a proceeding may at first appear, a little consideration will show that the task of putting down quackery by legal enactment is impracticable. Such is the anxiety which every invalid feels to purchase at any cost the blessing of health, that when all remedial agents have been em ployed by skilful hands without avail, as a last re source he is willing to embrace any scheme—to adopt any nostrum which premises some alleviation of his malady. The patient is the dupe of his own credulity ; and hence in every age the province of physic has been overrun with impostors. You may prohibit the sale of patent medicines, un less the composition of the same has been made known to competent authorities, and approved of by them. You may drag every unqualified practitioner into court under whose hands a patient may have died. You may compel every druggist in the kingdom to become a registered member of a college, that he may not be guilty of prescribing in ignorance across the counter. But you cannot stop here. You must have an in quisitor in every family, for unqualified parents will dose their children; and the family medicine chest, with its store of calomel and jalap, be placed under strict surveillance. Even then it is to be feared some will be found weak enough to try the cold water cure, the hunger and thirst systems, or it may be to resort to the disciples of Mesmer. But happily for the professors of medicine, they have stronger claims to public support than that of possessing the exclusive privilege-to practice in these realms. Their high attainments, which have placed them in the foremost rank of scientific men through out Europe, are the best evidence of their fitness for the important trust confided to them. Let the education of medical men be rendered as complete as possible. Give them every facility for acquiring an intimate knowledge of disease in all its varied forms ; submit every candidate to a most searching examination; and by that means you will induce the public to place that confidence in their skill and superior knowledge, which will prove their best protection against the aggression of igno rant quacks. To incumber the noble science of medicine with penal enactments, is a degrading pro position, which its votaries should not stoop to enter tain for a moment. It cannot suppress the trade in quackery; it cannot elevate the profession in the eyes of the public.—Yours, truly, A LEECH. York, Oct. 21. A NE `Y LIFE BOAT. In the last number of the Glasgow Engineers, Magazine a design for an iron life-boat is given. The magazine gives diagrams in plan, elevation, and sec tion of the boat, which is twenty-four feet long, eight feet broad, and three to three-and-a-half feet deep. It weighs about a ton, and has buoyancy of nearly 15,0001b5. It is capable of carrying seventy persons, xithout sinking. This is its extreme burden, but it can seat forty passengers with ease, awl a greater number on emergencies. The estimated cost is 601. me design, we understand, is by Mr. Thomas Cal lum, Leith. After explaining the diagrams, the editor of the magazine says : " There cannot be much doubt that a boat of this construction would be decidedly superior to the .vooden boats in cases of accident at sea. Few, in deed, of those at present carried by steam- vessels would be of any positive use were they required to save the lives of passengers and crew in a rough sea. Even when circumstances have been favourable, we have had the melancholy experience of their utter in efficiency. No sooner have they been lowered into the water, than they have been swamped in the un avoidable confusion which almost invariably attends catastrophes at sea, on occasions where the vessel is to be abandoned. A result of this fatal kind could not possibly happen with a boat of the construction proposed ; for, as already stated, although it should be completely filled with water, it would be still capable of sustaining seventy persons, and it might be made to have even greater buoyancy in proportion to its length and breadth, and weight of material. Boats of this description will, indeed, be somewhat more expensive i❑ respect of first cost than those commonly carried, but their manifest superiority and usefulness in cases of emergency ought, undoubtedly, to outweigh all the little pecuniary differences which can possibly be set up in objection. It is a demand of humanity, and one which we hope to see legally enforced among the first conditions in the code of regulations which Parliament may be expected to frame next session upon the report of the Shipwreck Committee." The principle upon which the boats are proposed to be constructed is, that as large a quantity of air should be enclosed in air-tight compartments as will suffice to buoy up the boat itself, and as many per sons as could go into or cling around it. The sides, ends, and thwarts, are all appropriated to this pur pose ; and, for first-class steamers, the compartments will measure — On the two sides.... On the two ends....

Ono of them, a fine young fellow, a b ou t s i xteen or seventeen years of age, began to ascend the figure, i and in aftgettinger "tuggingaway" "capstan which i s pl ace d b e hi n d the colossal statue of the groat naval hero ; from this position it was not very hard to ascend the figure itself, which the lad accomplished, and haying looked round him for a moment, he seated himself with the greatest apparent complacency on the head of the figure, where ho continued several minutes waving his cap. He then raised himself and stood on the bead of the figure, first on both and then on one foot, in which perilous situation he remained several minutes, whilst the most painful anxiety existed amonc , m st the observer s f or his safety. Having desce n d e d, his companion. who appeared somewhat his senior in years, and who was dressed in a frock coat, went through a similar evolution ; and then both ascended the figure together, and taking hold of each other's hand, they stood, with one leg (each) for a con siderable time on the granite head of the immortal Nelson. It was blowing a very strong breeze, and it was painful to witness the dangerous position of the youths at this moment ; but they descended without any accident, and on coming into the street they were loudly cheered. They refused to give their names—nor would they say if the feat was done for a wager, which is sup posi:d to be the case.—Dublin Freeman. 98 feet. 120 feet. 55 feet. 273 And as each foot of air has a buoyancy in sea water of 6111b5., it follows that the enclosed spaces would have a buoyancy equal to 17,5401 b., from which has to be deducted the weight of the boat, which is calcu lated at a ton, but say 21 cwt. or 2,3521 b., leaving a free buoyancy of 15,1881 b., or equal to the entire weight of one hundred persons, averaging 1501 b. each, and this although the open spaces were full of water ; but were that the case, with such a burden, the boat would be quite unmanageable ; the number, therefore, is stated to be seventy, and that is as many as could possibly be crowded into her. ST. FAITH'S FAIR.—At our great and annual fair, on Thursday last, the show of Scots was not so large as last year, but the quality and condition wero very supe rior; and all the beasts came up free from the epidemic, doing great credit to the different drovers. The number of buyers present during the day was smaller than has been known for several years, and they all acted with the greatest caution, being determined, if possible, to se cure themselves a good profit for winter grazing. Many of the beasts required not more than two months' keep to make them fit for the butchers, but the top figure did not exceed 53. per stone; the more general were 4s. to 4s. 6d. The business done was limited, and the prices obtained anything but satisfactory or profitable to the breeders and dealers. There was a great falling off in the shorthorn and other horned cattle. Many lots were very inferior, and remained quite unnoticed; those half fat made from 4s. to 4s. 6d. per stone, with great diffi culty to find purchasers. There were about five score Herefords, which exchanged hands, the price for which, like that for numbers of the horned beasts, was terrible. The salesmen and dealers exerted every nerve to obtain more money, but without effect ; and although the day closed so badly, we still hope the worst is over, and sin cerely wish the buyers well paid, and better spirits for the next coming fair. In the horse fair scarcely a good animal could be found, and middling ones are at a discount, there being no demand for them. There was a little racing, but no money stirring worth mentioning. —Norfolk Chronicle. THE STONE IN TILE NEW HOUSES Or PARMA MENT.—The Bolsover quarries, from which the stone for the new Houses of Parliament is procured, and se veral others that have been recently opened in the neighbourhood, contain about twelve feet of workable stone, in numerous bands from eight inches to two feet thick. This stone is of a light yellowish lemon colour. Its chemical composition consists of 51 per cent. of car bonate of lime, 40 per cent. of carbonate of magnesia, and more than 31 pr cent. of silica. Its specific gravity is 2.316, or considerably greater than that of limestone. This admirable stone is not expensive, being cheaper than Portland stole, and worked as easily ; but it does not seem to have been much used at a distance from Bolsover, except in slabs for paving. Church, qualitiestin go-t durability are well tested in South well luunshire, a building of the tenth century,r and in . ad mirable condition. In this church the Norman portions, built of stone similar to that of Bolsover Moor, are throughout in a perfect state, and the mouldings and carved enrichments are as sharp as when first executed. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, made a long statement, in the course of which he said that Cowan took a leaf out to light his pipe with, and that after the fire a question was asked whether the cook or anybody else had been down with a light. Cowan here observed, that the part of this state ment relative to the cook was true. The question was asked as to whether he had been down with a light. Constable Greaves said that, in his opinion, five pounds of oakum had been consumed ; and The captain said a couple of gallons of tar had been burnt. Greaves added, that a match which had not ignited was found on the tar barrel, and also a bit of wood burnt at both ends. The prisoner, at this stage of the proceedings, was ordered to be remanded until the next day.: CORONER'S INQUEST AT THE • UTILITY Os' CONSTANT STUDY.--11l my youth I was very much devoted to reading ; and even now, old as I am, I employ in it all the moments of leisure left me by State affairs.

ETON UNION. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 23.—This afternoon an inquest was held in the board-room of the Eton Union Work house, at Slough, before Mr. John Charsley, one of the coroners for the county of Bucks, on the body of an illegitimate male child, who died in the workhouse on Friday last, within 24 hours after its birth. The mother, a single woman named Martha Hitch, lived as cook in the service of a gentleman at Slough of the name of Righy, and was removed from that gentle man's house in an extraordinary manner, at the time, as it is stated, she was enduring the pains of labour, at a late hour on Wednesday night, the 16th inst. Shortly after her arrival at the workhouse she mhde a statement to the matron, which was taken down in writing at the time, and of which the following is an exact copy : " Martha hitch states, that she was dragged out of bcd by three or four men, at a late hour of the night (about 9 o'clock), and forced by her master, Mr. Rigby, to become an inmate of the Eton Union Workhouse, she having at the time wages due to a h u er ei amounting to between 31. and 41., a quar t er ' s sa l ary, and bills paid on her mistress's account, still She begged of her master to sen d h er home, or to a " lodging-house, instead of the workhouse, but her wi s h w as ;n not consequence eo of complied with." this statement having been laid before the board of guardians at their wee kl y meet ing, hem in the boa r d- room of the workhouse ykstor day, and of f ur th er inquiries which they caused to be made into the treatment of the mother of the de ceased infant at so critical a period, the board re- .e. •41.4t a4:41 )v , 'i 4 efi, • , ,'V a le ..,.

The first witness examined was Mrs. Caroline Aitken, the matron of the Eton Union, who deposed as fol lows:—Martha Hitch, the mother of the deceased child, was brought to the workhouse in a fly, betwet n nine and ten o'clock on 'Wednesday night, the 16th inst. She was accompanied by Mr. Bryan, a medical gentleman, the brother of Dr. Brya n , of Slough. A woman named Cripps rode in the fly with the mother. When she arrived she was in labour. She told rte that she was taken with the pains of labour on that morning. She was carried up stairs into the lying-in ward by the man who drove the fly. Mr. Bryan said 'she was in labour. She appeared very ill and w: s vomiting. I remained with her in the ward during the greater part of that night, and until she wia delivered, which was between six and seven o'clock the following evening. The child was found dead in the bed about two o'clock the next afternoon. Cn being told the child was dead, I went into the ward, and found it under the clothes. The body was then getting cold. I had no suspbsion that the mother hid behaved ill to the child. She said she came from Mr. Rigby's, at Slough, and that she was dragged out of her bed in that gentleman's house by three or four men, and brought to the workhouse. Mr. Aitken, the master of the union, examinee.— At about a quarter past nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, the 16th instant, a gentleman named Bryan Caine to me, and said a woman was going to be brought here in a fly, who was in labour, and asked me if I would receive her without an order ? I replied that I could receive any person without an orrier, who was brought to the house in that condi tion. He then went away. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards the fly arrived with the mother of this deceased and Mrs. Cripps, who accompanied her. !dr. Bryan also came at the same time. The woman was carried up stairs into the lying-in ward by the fly man. I have not seen her since. Mr. Bryan told me that evening, in the hall, that she was Mr. Rig hy's servant. Susan Akerrnan, one of the inmates of the work• house, who acts in the capacity of nurse, deposed as follows :—Martha Hitch was brought up stairs to the lyia4--in ward in the arms of a young man, named William Renton on 'Wednesday ni g ht. Sh e was very sick, and I diought she was then in labour. She was put into bed directly. Mr. Bryan came with her. Mr. Hammond (the medical officer of the union) ar rived within about an hour afterwards, when Mr. Bryan left. Mr. Bryan, when he came with her, said she must be taken care of, as she was in labour. Mr. Hammond remained with her until she was de livered, which was not until between six and seven o'clock the following evening. The child did not appear healthy ; the first night I did not think it would live. It took the breast from a woman who had been recently confined in the union, at noon the next day, when it appeared better. Rebecca Moody, another inmate of the workhouse, examined—l was in bed when Martha Hitch was brought into the ward. I immediately got up, in order that she might get into my bed, which was warm. She was vomiting when she was brought up into the room by William Ilenton. She was de livered about seven o'clock the next evening. The child died at about three o'clock the following after noon. It appeared to be a nice healthy child when born. I gave the child the breast the next day, about eleven o'clock, by desire of the matron. It then ap peared healthy ; I put it into bed by the side of its mother. I laid it down so that I could see its face, and that it could breathe. At three o'clock that afternoon, when the mother asked me to turn her over in bed, I saw that the child (which was lying on its mother's arm, with its face uppermost, so that it could breathe) was dead. It was a little warm. I saw nothing to induce me to suppose that the mother had injured the infant. The child then looked very black. Mr. Hammond, the surgeon to the union, informed the Coroner and jury that he had just returned from viewing the body of the deceased. A juryman asked if he observed a black mark on the neck of the child ? Mr. Hammond replied, that he observed a slight discolouration on the neck, but that might have been caused by a variety of circumstances. Some of the jury having suggested that a post mortem examination should be made, Mr. Hammond said, in that case he should prefer making it by dayrght; but he would suggest that the evidence of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Norblad's as sistant (both of whom had seen the mother before her removal from her master's, Mr. Rigby's) should be taken by the Coroner previously to his own. A juryman stated that when Mr. Norblad's as sistant saw the mother at Mr. Righy's on the morn ing of the day she was brought to the workhouse, she denied that she was in the family way. The CORONER having intimated that he should ad journ the inquiry until Friday, in order that Mr. Bryan ' William Renton (wh o d rove th e fl y ) , M r. Norblad's assistant, and the mother of the deceased, might be examined, Mr. Hammond said the mother would not be in a fit state, after her recent confinement, to be examined at so early a period. ' The CORONER observed, that the evidence of the mother would be necessary as regarded the treatment she experienced before her delivery. The inquest was then adjourned to Friday next (to-morrow) for the examination of the witnesses we have named, and others, with the understanding that, if necessary, it should be then further adjourned, in order that the evidence of Martha Hitch might be taken.

Well, this was a hard. day's work ; bringing something less than a halfpenny an hour. The young woman had neither food nor drink ; and so, with misery and famine at her heart —in the very despair of biting hunger—she took Mr. John Halden's property to the pawnbroker. She is urged, tempted—sorely tempted beyond the power of suffering nature to withstand—to commit crime, to make herself a felon, by the miserable wages awarded her by the tradesman of Bread-street, Cheap side. Bread -street!—There is a cruel irony even in the address. There is a society—all honoured be its object—for the relief and conversion of miserable young women, cast like weeds upon the world—for the wretched Magdalen, despised, outraged, degraded. This society calls with a voice of comfort to the defiled creature, and teaches her, in goodly season, modesty, self-re spect. She is snatched from daily, hourly perdition, and restored to the decencies of life. She is no longer an animal, cursed with a soul. All praise be to the institution that works this goodness. Yet, surely we think, the Principle of Wickedness must grin and hug itself at the gatherings of this so ciety —must chuckle, as the devil only chuckles— when the secretary, with grave face and self-compla cent tone, reads the number of victims saved—of brands snatched from the fire—and turned to worthy uses. We say, this same Wickedness must laugh at the small retail humanity of such an institution, when, as in mockery of it, there are thousands and thousands of young women tortured by the injustice of the world, by its mercenary, heartless tasking, into a life of infamy. A feeble philanthropy saves indeed a few wretches ; but then there is a Giant Injustice— iron-hearted son of avarice and trade—that drives his crowds into the street; that makes them in a wild despair of heart—for bread, horrid bread indeed so purchased—bind themselves to agony and shame! How many fall—how many, with heroic serenity of soul, their wounds bleeding inwardly, pine from day to day, and at length wither from the earth, no more accounted of than autumn flies ! And now and then some haggard, white-lipped creature—some famishing Eivh( r Piercef or the sake of a meal dares Newgate and the doom of a felon. And so it will :be, until throughout all so c i e ty it shall be preached—not nl.. meekly mouthed, b u t preached with__a e tterrible,so smiting energy, that there are holier pounds and shillings ; that human souls tmgarein very n truth of more account than bank paper. o rejoice (we a s h t it— escaped prison, the benevolent should inrej chronicle his name) giving up the shawl have liked to Esther Pierce—our readers pawnbroker u, flowers, worked for 61! In the East th e y eighty without payment — the shawl which contained the have a well-known way of arranging flowers that, like words, they may discourse a passion. Alas ! what a story may the eye of pity read in these eighty flowers, worked for a tester. On the one hand what cruel, selfish, iron-hearted tasking ! On the other what misery—what weariness of life—what utter blankness of all that should comfort and sustain toiling likeuld o know adt fiol3; t Estherttril i ,ai e de p er se a me r t fa i o c nr u l aj a n r oyh e on i ei ghty y a: nd fl e o cft w o. u e r as iN h tv i pl r r n ,vi: a sees n ,iis i b t hfl y eor o such a he .I\ ll l; a . r l t' i s a - l e dn a e se ?in a letter to the Times, says, that " he gives considerably more than sixpence ' for such work ; but then, with the diffidence of genuine libe rality, he does not specify how much more. Mr. Holden also observes, that the wretched story. of Esther Pierce is " calculated to do him serious in jury." We do not think it unlikely. In conclusion, however, we would say to all whole sale dealers in embroidered shawls, give something more to female toil than sixpence for eighty flowers.. Something more, considerate master s !

W. 0. and W. Hunt, 10, Whitehall, London; Messrs. Edward and Charles Castleman, Ringwood. This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length, has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already made and contemplated on the southern coast. But previous to any application to the public for support, the projectors called a public meeting, which was, its the month of May last, held at Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and landholders of the county of Dorset and the southwestern part of the county of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of noblemen and gentlemen of the greatest influence in both counties was no minated to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsom, civil engineer, to survey the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the best line, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers given him, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic was likely to support the line, if made. At a subsequent meeting, held at Dorchester on the 19th July last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at the former meeting made a report, from which the following is an extract : _ _ _ " Your Committee report, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap- tain Moorsom and Mr. Pare (who had been employed by Captain Moorsom under the powers given him by us, in the last clause of our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the traffic upon the proposed line), attended and presented their re ports. These reports have undergone a thorough examination by us, and your Committee feel justified in laying them before you, and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will warrant your acting upon them. " Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to them by Captain Moorsom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham worthy, and Wareham; most convenient for the public in general, as well as for the towns In its locality, and that the same can be made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges. " We further report that the traffic upon the line is sufficient to !eel e a clear net profit of net less than sy. per cent. during the first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be Increased subsequently. " Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the immediate formation of a Company for carrying out an object so eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and south-western part of the county of Hants. " The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking up the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on, as soon as the main features of the undertaking come to be fully understood. " It Is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land shall have been obtained." It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Com. pany should be formed with a capital of 450,0001., in shares of 501. each. Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional trade which will flow to it out of the lines projected by the Great Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport. These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee in order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing the capital to 500,0001., upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net return of not less than seven per cent. The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes and for the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment, and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in^the past session, to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled with the great local support already shown, and the careful exa. mination into the estimate of expense and traffic prior to the forma tion of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success. Ass arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade, has been made for leasing this line to the Great Western Company, that Company guaranteeing 31 per cent. upon the capital, and agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders in this Company. _ . . Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within the amount and time specified. It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act In the next ses sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription will be inserted. Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs. Laurence, Cazenove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs.
