The number of visitors yesterday was 49,021. The receipts, incluclinv 3/. by the sale of season tickets, amounted to 2,4391. 14s. The mean temperature during the day, as shown by Mr. Bennett's thermo meter, was 66 2. piston, and therefore its motion must be computed by a small fraction of the tenth pirt cf a second ; and this must be done with the utmost punctuality and regularity, otherwise the action of the piston could not be continued. The cylinder discharges its con tents through the escape valve every time the piston changes its direction; and consequently this discharge must take place, under the circumstances here sup posed, ten times per second. But there are two cylinders, and the mechanism is so regulated .that the discharge from the one is in termediate between two successive discharges of the other. There are, therefore, '2O discharges of steam per second at equal intervals, and thus these 20 puffs divide a second into 20 equal parts, each puff having ;he twentieth of a second - betw a een it and that which precedes or follows it. The steam which thus puffs from the cylinder is conveyed by a pipe to the chim ney, where it escapes upwards in a succession of blasts, by which the draught through the fire-place is maintained. It is these blasts of steam in the chimney which produce the coughing noise heard when a locomotive engine is moving slowly. As the rapidity augments these coughs become more rapid, ani when the engine attains the speed which we have supposed above there will be twenty coughs per second. The ear, like the eye, is limited in the ra pidity of the sensations of which it is susceptible, and sensitive as that organ is, it is not capable of distin- guishing sounds which succeed each other at inter vals of the twentieth part of a second; therefore, when the engine moves at such a rate, the pufang in the chimney ceases to be appreciated by the ear, although, as a mechanical effect, it continues to be produced as accurately and regularly as when the engine is mov ing slowly. According to the experiments of Dr. Hutton, it ap peared that the time of flight of a cannon ball having a range of 6,700 feet, is one quarter of a minute. The velocity is therefore 26,800 feet per minute, which is equal to five miles per minute, or 300 miles per hour. It follows, therefore, that a railway train moving at 75 miles an hour (not an uncommon speed for express trains to attain) would have a velocity only four times less than a cannon ball. The momentum of such a mass moving at such a speed is difficult to conceive. It would amount to a force equivalent to the aggre gate momentum of a number of cannon balls equal to one-fourth of its own weight. The consideration of the great damage done to the railway, as well as to the rolling stock, by these extreme speeds, is a serious drawback to the gratification which such wondrous performances naturally excite. The fracture and wear of rails is augmented in a very high ratio with the speed. So, likewise, is the wear of all parts of the vehicles most affected, such as wheels, axles, &c. We have shown that, at the speed we have here considered, a driving wheel seven feet in diameter revolves five times per second ; but the bearing wheels of carriages, waggons, and vans are in general only three feet in diameter, and sometimes even less. ow, if a wheel of seven feet in diameter revolve five times per second, a wheel three feet in diameter proceeding at the same speed must revolve very nearly twelve times per second. This, therefore, is the action which must take place upon all the wheels of the vehicles composing each express train. It will be asked by what means so enormous a rate of evaporation is produced and maintained as would be necessary to impart such a motion to the piston as is necessary to give the engine such a speed as is here mentioned? Since each piston must move once back wards and forwards in the cylinder for each revolu tion of the driving wheels, it is clear that in the case above described four cylinders-ful of steam would he consumed for each revolution of the driving wheels, and since these wheels revolve five times per second 20 cylinders•ful of steam must be supplied by the boiler to the engine per second, or 1,200 cylinders ful per minute.

The excursion system is by no means absorbed this season, as might have been anticipated, in metropolitan excursions. On the contrary, the provincial excursions to and fro are swelling. , extraordinarily, both in number and in magnitude. Think of a single train with 3,000 excursionists! Such a 'train, comprising ninety-eight carriages, the other day conveyed the poor, hard-work ing, dust-breathing, close-confined cotton-spinners from nine or ten mills at Preston on a life-giving trip, through the fields and villages, to Liverpool, by Bamberbridge and Loslock. The driving of 3,000 nails into us many coffins was doubtless thereby postponed, at least for a few days longer. "The day was spent joyfully:" w ho can doubt it? and what life-giving medicine can com pete with a light heart is puro air—could it only be taken in adequate doses regularly once or twice a day with a little nourishing food? A contemporary an nounces it as rather a strange and unlooked-for fact that one of the recent " monster excursion trains" which have been spinning along from cotton mills and other workshops, and scouring across the country hither and thither, consisted of 800 members and friends of a re spictai:le corporation at Hastings, called the " Burial Society," who started thence in twenty-six carriages, drawn by two engines, for a day's recreation, "amid the cheers of a large party of spectators." It is clear that the Hastings " Burial Soci , ty" not only have sufficient life and spirit for such an undertaking, but that they are long-headed fellows,who know how to reduce the expenses, and thereby increase the funds and promote the pros perity of their provident corporation. There can be nothing' more appropriate than the sagacious patronage of the excursion system by burial societies.—Builder.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial is another proof of the great elll-? cacy of this medicine : " Sir,—ln scq‘u"asll7ii i v ng iew o ß u own with h s t t r h e e e be e o e , fl O t c w to h h l e c r h l l 2 h , a lB v s e o e . x. perienced by taking BLAIR'S GoUT an d RHEUM AT of IC the PIpubLLS ic , I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion l who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-, cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th se who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. "I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Pront, 229, Strand."

It will not be uninteresting or uninstructive to take here a brief retrospect of the progress which this great agent of inter-communication has undergone, the more especially as the main features which distin guished the original locomotive are preserved in the present machines. That part of the locomotive engine employed to generate steam consists of three principal parts—the boiler, the firebox, and the smokebox. The boiler having a cylindrical form, the length of which is three or four times its diameter, is placed with its axis horizontal and parallel to the rails; behind it is the firebox, and before it the smokebox, so that as the machine progresses the boiler is preceded by the latter and followed by the former; the whole is sup ported on four or more wheels. The" firebox con sists of a hollow casing of metal, in the bottom of which are placed the grate bars, and under them the ash-pit; this casing is filled with water to a level above its roof, and the grate-bars are placed below the bottom of the boiler. The boiler is traversed longitudinally by a number of tubes, through which the flame and heated air proceeding from the furnace are conducted to the smokebox. Over the smokebox is erected the smoke-funnel, or chimney, up which the heated air, which has thus traversed the tubes, is conducted, and from which it escapes into the atmosphere. A vehicle called the tender, supported on four or more wheels, which carries a certain supply of fuel for the furnace and a tank containing a supply of water for the boiler, is attached to the boiler. A pipe of communication, having a flexible joint capable of accommodating itself to the irregularities inci dental to the motion, connects this water tank with the boiler, a force pump being applied in such pipe of communication, by means of which the water is driven from the tank into the boiler. This force pump, or feed pump, as it is called, can be put in operation or suspended, as occasion requires, by the engine-driver. Behind the firebox is a stage which is flush with the floor of the tender, so that the engine-driver and fireman can pass freely from the one to the other. In the back of the firebox is a small door, through which the firebox is fed with coke. If the visitor to the Exhibition mount upon the stage just described, on any of the engines exhibited, he will observe several appendages, the use of which it may be interesting to indicate. At the back of the firebox is usually attached a glass water gauge, the purpose of which is to enable the engineer to see the level of the water in the boiler. This is accom plished in the following manner :—lt will be ob served that the glass tube is attached to the fire box in a vertical position, and communicates at its lowest and highest points with the interior by pipes governed by stopcocks. Now, the position of this gauge is so regulated that when the right quantity of water is in the boiler its level should be below the top and above the bottom of the glass tube, and as the water in the tube must stand at the same level as the water in the boiler, the engineer will know when the boiler requires feeding, by observing the water to fall in the tube to its lower extremity, and he will know when the feed has been sufficiently supplied by observing the level of the water in the tube rise somewhat above its middle point. As these tubes are liable to accidental fracture, stopcocks are provided in rectangular brass tubes, which connect them at top and bottom with the boiler, which being closed the fracture of the glass tube produces no other inconvenience than that of de priving the engine of the gauge. But even in this case provision is made by other means, which will be seen upon any of the engines exhibited. Small pipes of discharge, furnished with stopcocks, will be observed issuing from the boiler at different levels. The engineer on opening these stopcocks, severally, may at any time ascertain the position of the level of the water in the boiler by reference to the points at which these tubes severally enter it. If, on opening either of these cocks, steam escapes, it shows that the level of the water is below that of the cock ; if water escapes, it is above it ; and as these cocks are placed at several different levels, the engineer is able to feel, as it were, by severally opening them, where the level of the water lies, and he acts accordingly in feeding the boiler. A lever will be observed attached to the tender, which governs the feed, so as to throw the feed pump in or out of action at the will of the engineer. If the visitor direct his attention to the roof of the firebox, generally on the left side as he looks for ward, he will see a lever held down by a spring con nected with an index and graduated scale. This spring governs the safety valve, which is fixed upon the roof of the firebox, and the apparatus is, in fact, a spring steelyard which measures the pressure of the steam in the boiler in pounds per square inch. A screw will be observed in connexion with this steel yard, by which it may be so adjusted that the pres sure of the steam will open the valve when it attasns any proposed amount per square inch thus the screw may be so adjusted that whenever the steam acts upon the valve with a pressure exceeding 601 b. per square inch the valve will be opened and the steam will blow off. When a train stops, as it does at the several sta tions along the road, the boiler continues to produese steam, which, accumulating, would soon attain a pressure that would open the safety valve, and it would escape into the atmosphere. An ingenious means is provided by which this waste of steam is saved. Instead of allowing it to escape into the at mosphere it is made to pass into a pipe, by which it is conveyed to the tank upon the tender containing the water intended to feed the boiler. The moment it enters the tank it is condensed by the cold water, and, mixing with it, raises its temperature. A gallon of water, in the form of steam, which thus enters the tank, is capable of imparting to nearly seven gsllous of water contained in the tank enough of beat to raise this quantity to the boiling point. Every one who has travelled by railways will re collect that when the train stops at a station for any length of time he frequently hears a peculiar rattling noise produced in or near the engine, and that the noise immediately ceases when the engine begins to move. This noise is produced by the sudden con densation of the steam escaping from the safety valve and entering the tank. It will also be observed that standing on the stage of the firebox, and looking forward, two levers are placed on the right of the engine. These levers are what are called way bars, the purpose of which is to start the engine. When at rest they invest the engi neer with a power of moving the valves two or three times successively, so as to conduct the steam alter nately to each end of the cylinder, and thus to cause the motion of the piston to commence. After the motion of the piston has once commenced, the inertia of the machinery and the self-acting mechanism will cause its continuance. Attached to the back of the firebox will also be observed a lever which is usually made to move upon a graduated arc. This lever governs a valve which is placed in the pipe of communication between the boiler and the cylinder. This valve is so constructed that it may be opened or closed in a greater or lesa degree so as to admit the steam to the cylinder in greater or less quantity, and thus regulate the motion of the engine. The extraordinary speed attained upon the rail ways, and the not less extraordinary loads which are transported at those speeds, will excite a natural curiosity to know the physical principles upon which such velocities can be imparted to such weights. It happens that these principles are extremely simple and such as may be made perfectly intelligible to any commonly well-informed person. Let us take the case of an engine moved with a speed of 70 miles an hour, whose driving wheels are 7 feet in diameter, and consequently measuring about 21 feet or 7 yards in circumference ; as a speed of 70 miles an hour is, in round numbers, 105 feet per second, it follows that when moving at this rate the driving wheels of the dimensions above mentioned would revolve at the rate of five times per second. Now, to produce one revolution of such wheels, each piston must once pass backwards and forwards in the cylinder, and its motion, therefore, must divide a second into ten equal parts. On arriving at each end of the cylin der, at the moment it is about to change the direc tion of its motion and to return, a valve must he shifted by which steam may be admitted at one side of the piston and withdrawn from the other side. This valve must, therefore, be moved ten times per second, and must complete its motion so rapidly as to form but a small fraction of the entire stroke of the which at a pressure of 501 b. per square inch, would require the evaporation of above seven cubic feet of water per minute, or 420 cubic feet per hour, being at the rate of evaporation of an ordinary sta tionary boiler of the nominal power of 420 horses. This great evaporating power is obtained principally by exposing a large heating surface to the action of the furnace, and partly by stimulating the furnace by great force of draught. The heating surface consists of—first, the surface of the firebox, which is expos, , d to the direct action of the heat radiating from the fuel in combustion ; and secondly, the surface of the tubes which traverse the boiler, and by which the heated air is conducted from the firebox to the smokebox. These tubes are all below the level of the water in the boiler, as is also the entire heating surface of the fire box. The tubes are so regulated in number and magnitude that when the heated air proceeding from the combustion has passed through them, nr , d arrived at the smokebox, it is reduced nearly to the tempe rature of the boiler, and is thus, as it were, strained of its heat. A draught of intense power is maintained through the firebox by discharging the steam which proceeds from the cylinders, after it has driven the pistons, through a pipe called the blast pipe, which is pre sented upwards in the chimney. Each successive cylinder-ful of steam, after it has driven the piston, escapes through a pipe of communication from the cylinder to the chimney, and rushes through this blast pipe with the coughing noise already mentioned, which is heard distinctly enough when the engine first begins to move. The preceding observations are applicable generally to all the locomotive machines which will be found in the Exhibition. .We shall now notice these engines individually. The most conspicuous among them will be found to be three stupendous engines —two of which are exhi bited by the North-Western, and the third by the Great Western Railway Company. The North-Western Company exhibits a locomo motive engine on a gigantic scale, called " the Liver pool," constructed by Mesers. Bury and Co. This vast machine is constructed on the principle of the Crampton patent, the peculiarity of which is, that the driving wheels are placed at the rear of the engine immediately under the firebox. This immense machine is supported on eight wheels, the driving wheels being eight feet, and the support ing wheels four feet in diameter. The cylinders are 18 inches diameter, and 24 inches stroke. Tne eva porating power of the boiler must be enormous, since the heating surface exposed to the direct action of the fire is 156 square feet, and the total surface of the tubes which traverse longitudinally the boiler, and by which the gaseous products of combus tion are conducted from the firebox to the chimney , and strained of their heat en route, have a total sur face of not less than 2,090 square feet. Thus there is a total heating surface of 2,400 square feet. The weight of the machine when supplied with its full complement of coke and water is 37 tons. The second engine exibited by the North-Western Company is " the Cornwall," designed by M. F. Trevithick, one of the superintendents, and con structed at the Crewe establishment of that company in 1846, for the purpose of running express trains at a high rate of speed. The cylinders in this machine are 171 inches in diameter, and 2 feet stroke. The driving wheels are 8 feet 6 inches in diameter. This increase of diameter is given to the driving wheels with a view to obtain an increased speed with a diminished wear, arising from too rapid reciprocation of the pistons. The cylinders in this engine are placed outside the wheels. The centre of gravity is lowered by suspend ing the boiler under the driving axle. The driving wheels are placed about midway in the length of the engine, while the others, bearing a lesser weight, are placed at the foremost and hinder ends ; this disposi tion of the wheels being found to be faveurable to the motion on curves. Tne boiler has 1,046 feet of heat ing surface, with certain peculiarities of construction and arrangement of the working gear which renders it easily examined when running. The gross weight of the engine in working trim is 27 tons. It is sup ported on 8 wheels, and has taken trains at speeds varying from 60 to 70 miles an hour. The Great Western Company exhibit a stupendous engine, cons tructed at their works at Swindon, called " The Lord of the Lies." The machine is one of the ordinary class of engines which have been worked for passenger traffic since 1847 by the Great Western Company. It is affirmed that it is capable of driving a train of 120 tons gross, at an average speed of GO miles an hour, upon such gradients as those which Prevail on the Great Western Railway, which, as is well known, is nearly level. The evaporating power of the boiler, when in full operation, is stated at 1,000-horse power, and the effective power of the engine, measured by a dynanometer, is equal to 743 horses. Its weight, including coke and water, is 35 tons. Th tender attached to this machine weighs nine tons, the 'tank contains 1,600 gallons of water, and there is space for a ton and a half of coke, giving a total weight, fuel and water included, of 17 tons 13 cwt. The surface in the firebox exposed to ra diant heat measures 156 square feet, and the heating ' surface of the t ubes measures 1,759 square feet. The diameter of the cylinder is 18 inches, the stroke 2 feet, and the diameter of the driving wheels 8 feet. It is estimated that the boiler is able to bear a pres sure of 120 lb. per square inch, and that its actual i 7::4,..._ -'. * , 6-- , . x .., • . : ~. ..,$* ' ,,,, 11 7 ,4.,, , , M: ~., 5....,...„ -...0. - , \- ' tr ~./: ► t , , , , ` Ai t ( V i . 1311 r ' I, l' ' ' '&,... -- N- - ‘1 1) '..,.. --- ?,. , 1 Aiff' 4 ,, 0, _- ` •-„_, - .—_,' .. , s -4 , -.4 F - ,!: "le F: , r' .. \ C--"'- ‘ ,ll. 11 , 4..._/.--... , , , , '!%).-i ) Y*eft- 11 0 -,.•'-,-- Ir, 'i • •- , • "'''''' I.

Alessrs. Hawthorn exhibit a locomotive engine of rather less dimensions for which they claim a capa bility of running with safety at a speed of 80 miles an hour with a large express train. The cylinders are 16 inches in diameter, and 22 inches stroke ; the driving wheels 6i- feet in diameter, and the bearing wheels 39 inches; the heating surface of the firebox is 98:1- square feet; the boiler is traversed by 158 brass tubas, giving a heating surface of 865 square feet. The principal improvements claimed by Messrs. Hawthorn for this machine are the following:—ln stead of the six ordinary springs on each axle, the engine is fitted with double compensatin g beams and four springs acting simultaneously on all the journals, by which the weight assigned to the respective axles is not affected by any irregularities or imperfections on the line of railway, but is uniformly maintained throughout, securing thereby a constant weight upon the driving wheels, and consequently a con stant amount of adhesion. It is also claimed that by this direct, simultaneous connexion between the axles great stability is given to the engine, greater safety, particularly at high speed, and a smoother and easier motion. The engine has outside framing, with outside bearings to all the axles, the cylinders being placed inside. The engine is sup ported on six wheels, the driving wheels being in the centre. The second advantage claimed by the builders for this machine is the application of their expan sive link motion and slide valves, which admit of the boiler being brought down nearly as low as in en gines with straight axles, and by the introduction of the slide valves the pressure on the valves, and conse quently the friction, is considerably diminished. An arrangement is likewise introduced into the engine of the patent steam pipe of Messrs. Hawthorn which removes the domes and other projections on the top of the boiler. This steam pipe is fixed into the tube plate of the smokebox by a ferule like an ordinary tube, and extends nearly the entire length of the boiler. Being carried under the top, it is perforated with a series of small apertures or slits along its en tire length, and it is arranged so as to receive the steam directly above the place at which it is generated, instead of compel ling it to rush from all parts of the boiler to one or two orifices. By this arrangement the steam is conducted to the cylinder, nearly if not altogether free from priming. The inside and outside framings extend the whole length of the engine, and are firmly tied together by strong iron double knee brackets. Among the locomotive engines on a smaller scale will be noticed one called " Ariel's Girdle," exhibited by Messrs. Adams ; a locomotive tank engine, exhi bited by Messrs. Fairbairn ; and one called " the England," exhibited by the engineer of that name. " Ariel's Girdle " is a four-wheeled engine coupled to a four-wheeled carriage, constituting thus a complete eight-wheeled machine, adapted to run with great speed and safety for a distance of fifty or sixty miles without stopping. The carriage has accommodation for eight first class, twelve second class, and twenty third class passengers. This engine, with its atten dant carriage, thus forming a train to accommodate thirty passengers, may also be advantageously worked as a mail or express train, or a train for branch lines. The inventor claims, also, that it is well adapted for highway purposes, with rails laid on the level of a macadamized road, which would not interfere with the ordinary traffic, thus facilitating the con struction of branch lines, at a very cheap rate, by which railway communication might be carried into agricultural districts and even into farmyards. It is well known that in the United States such effects have been realised, the railways being, in many cases, carried through the streets of the principal towns. A railway is, for example, conducted through New York and terminates at the very centre of the city, near the park. Another is carried through the streets of Philadelphia, terminating in .Market-street, and, in like manner, a line of railway is carried with fa cility through the streets of Baltimore, terminating near the harbour. In these cases the rails are laid flush with the road, a cavity being left on the inside of each rail in which the flanges of the wheels play. It is not, however, customary in America to drive the locomotive engines through the streets. They are STHE QUEEN'S V ISIT to SCOTLAND' EXPERIMENTAL TRIP WITH THE ROYAL CAR RIAGZS AND NLW ENGlNE.—Yesterday the capabi lities and safety of the new engine and royal carriages built for the special service of her Majesty were tested by the directors of the Great Northern Railway and several scientific gentlemen. Shortly before ten o'clock, the train, consisting of three royal carriages, three first-class carriages, one luggage van, and one break van, drawn by the new engine, left King's cross station for Peterborough, conveying the chair man, the directors, a few friends, Mr. 'Williams, the constructor of the carriages, and several gentlemen connected with the railway ; the down journey was performed at an ordinary rate of speed, when the en gine was found to work extremely well, and the carriages to run remarkably easy. As a further test, the speed was increased on the up journey. The train left Peterborough at 1.15 P.M., and arrived at the terminus, King's-cross, at 2 55 rad., performing the distance, 76 4 1 miles, in one hour and 40 minutes, being at the rate of 45i miles an hour, including starting and stopping; notwithstanding the velocity at which the train travelled, very little oscillation was observable, nor was there the slightest indication of heat in the boxes, the grease being nearly as inspis • sated as at starting. DONCASTER, MONDAY.—We are enabled to com municate, from two or three sources, the arrange ments which have been mad e f or h er lsjesty's jour ney from the metropolis to Scotland, on the 27th and 28th inst. Her Dinjesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort, the Royal Family, and suite, will arrive at the King's cross station of the Great Northern Railway at about half-past one o'clock. Her Majesty will be received by the chairman and directors of the railway, and will be conducted to an apartment elegantly fitted up for the occasion, where the Royal travellers will partake of lu nc h eon. The Royal tra i n, con t a i n i ng h er Ma jesty and s u i te , Lord. John Russell, and the chairman and directors of th e G reat N or th e r n , will leave King's cross station at t wo o ' c l oc k , prece di ng the regular train which leaves at that hour. A pilot engine will be despatched in advance of the Royal train. The latter will arrive at Ilitchin at 2 48 P.M., where it will stop for five minutes for the engine to take in water. The Royal trainwill pass slowly through the straight line at Huntingdon, without stopping at the station, and will proceed thence to Peterborough, arriving there at 4 3 P.M., and again s t opp i ng f or 5 minutes for the engine to take i n water. Th e R oya l train will arrive at Boston at 4 53 P.M., passing into the platform line for her Majesty to receive the ad dress of the corporation and inhabitants of that bo rough. Arrangements are made here for the accom modation of spectators, but the public will not be ad mitted within the space between the two screens of the down-side platform. The train, with a fresh en gine, will depart from Boston at 4 58 rad.,and arrive at Lincoln at 5 48, where her Majesty will receive an address from the corporation and inhabitants of that ancient city. The regulations for the accommoda tion of the public will be the same as those observed at Boston. At Retford the Royal train will pass slowly through the usual platform line of the station, and proceed thence to Doncaster, arriving there at about 7 o'clock. Her Majesty having determined to pass the night at Doncaster, considerable preparations have been made by the corporation and inhabitants to give her Majesty a hearty and loyal welcome. The Angel Hotel has been selected for the accommodation of the Royal visitors, and has been suitably prepared for them. usually detached from the trains at a station in the suburbs, and the carriages are drawn by horses to the termini in the towns. Mr. Adams claims that one of these engines, draw ing one of the long eight-wheeled carriages, carrying 40 passengers, will travel with perfect smoothness and steadiness from 40 to 50 miles an hour, and, by rea son of its lightness, will do this without any damage to the rails or roadway. It may be employed, as a simple four-wheeled tank engine to draw 100 tons gross of waggons for a distance of 25 miles. A pair of ordinary breaks are applied to the driving wheels, and powerful sledge breaks are applied to the other wheels, the whole of which are at the command of the driver and stoker on the platform of the engine. This arrangement of sledge breaks prevents any damage to wheels or rails such as they are liable to with breaks of the common kind, and it is evident that so light a machine may be easily started and stopped. Engines of this form and construction have been for some time in operation on the Eastern Counties, the Cork and Bandon, the St. Helen's, the Londonderry and Enniskillen, the Bristol and Exeter, and some other railways. They may be applied, according to the patentees, with advantage upon lines where the traffic is small, and where the larger class of engines is impracticable. The second locomotive engine, of much smaller dimensions, called " the England," the peculiarity of which is great lightness in proportion to its power, and the combinatio❑ of the engine and tender upon the same wheels, will also he observed. The purpose of this engine is to work trains of light weight, and its constructors affirm that it has sufficient power to impel a train of six first-class carriages at a speed of 60 miles an hour; and if their expectations be rea lized it will accomplish this at half the working expense of the engines now used for such trains. Although it has no tender, it is stated to be capable of carrying a stock of fuel and water sufficient for a stage of 50 miles, so that it would be capable of tak ing a train from London to York by taking in a feed of fuel and water at three intermediate stations. The South-Eastern Company exhibit an express locomotive engine called "Folkestone," constructed upon Mr. Crampton's patent, which claims advantages from having the engine suspended from three points at the ends of the machine, the object being to insure the weights on the wheels being at all times the same, and thus producing the greatest amount of steadiness. Attention is also claimed to the fact that the whole of the machinery is independent of the road, and is thus similar in its action to a fixed engine, and the risk of breaking the cranked axle, which frequently occurs in inside cylinder engines, is avoided.—Morning Paper. ro he continued ) OVERCROWDING STEAM-BOATS. The new Act, which received the royal assent on the 7th inst., to consolidate and amend the laws relating to steam navigation, and to the boats and lights to be car ried by sea-going vessels, has been printed. There are several clauses to prevent the overcrowding of steam boats, of which daily complaints are now being made. The Board of Trade is to assist in the execution of the Act. The laws. in force at the present time on steam navigation are the 9th and 10th of Victoria, c. 100, and the 11th and 12th of Victoria, c. 81, under which certi ficates as to the number of passengers to bo carried aro granted. The new Act contains fifty-one clauses. The former Acts are to be repealed on the 31st of December. Steam-vessels are to be surveyed twice a year, and declarations sent to the Board of Trade, and a certifi cate of the vessel and of the number of passengers to be carried is to he granted and exhibited in a con spicuous part of the vessel. Penalties arc to be levied on the owners exceeding the number, and on per sons who insist upon remaining on board. It is• enacted by the 12th section "that if the owner or master, or other person in charge of a vessel, receive on board more than the number stated in the certificate, they shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding 201., and also ss. for every passenger over and above the number specified in the certificate. Persons forcing their way on board when a vessel is full, and refusing to quit after having the fare tendered, if the same had been p3id, aro to be liable to a penalty of 403. Also, if any person,_o s h a ll travel a greater distance than he has paid hisr fa r e for, with intent to avoid the payment, or shall r efuse to , qu it the vessel, such person is w of 5;., liable to a penalty L 51., in addition to the fare payable by him.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer will be in readiness to receive her Majesty on her leaving the train. A. guard of honour, consisting of 100 rank and file of the Biith Light Infantry, from the Hull garrison, will be drawn up on the platform. The Mayor, on behalf of the Corporation and the inhabitants of the town, will have the honour of presenting an address to her Ma jesty through the medium of Lord John Russell, who ' will accompany her Majesty on this occasion. The answer her Majesty may be pleased to direct will be communicated subsequently by the Secretary of State for the Home Department. An address will also be presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. A short procession will be formed at the station by the Corporation and other officials, who will escort the Royal visitors to the Angel Hotel. By direction of the Earl of Harewood the military escort will be selected from four troops (the Tickhill, Hatfield, Don -1 caster, end Barnsdale) of the Ist West Yorkshire Yeomanry Cavalry by the officer in charge of the mi litary arrangements, Lieutenant-General Earl Cath cart, K.O 8., Commander of the Northern and Mid laud District, who, in the unavoidable absence of Ma jor-General Warre, Commander of the North-West Counties, has undertaken to act on the occasion. The route from the railway station to the Angel Hotel is comparatively short and direct, and although it will doubtlets. he sufficilntly crowded by the vast influx of people who are expected to be present, the corporation have made the most efficient arrangemets for preventing any overcrowding or confusion during her Majesty's brief progress. The Mayor of Doncaster has invited a large party to dine at the Mansion-house on Wednesday evening, including the members of the corporation, the officials connected with her Majesty's suite, the Great Northern Railway directors, and the leading gentle men of the town and neighbourhood. In the evening there will be a pretty general illu mination, a grand display of fireworks, and various public rejoicings, to testify the loyalty of the inhabit ants. lhe guard of honour will be stationed during her Majesty's sojourn at the Angel Hotel, at the Guild hall, which is just opposite. On the following (Thursday) morning the Royal traia will leave Doncaster at nine A.M. It will pro ceed slowly through the station at Knottingley (where a short branch leads into the North Midland line at Burton Salmon station) and arrive at York at 9 50. The train will not enter the station, but stop at the north end of the Scarborough curve. Here the Great Northern engine will be changed for the York, Newcastle, and Berwick engine, and after a delay of five minutes the train will proceed on its journey, reaching Darlington at 10 55 A.M. (departure 11) ; Newcastle, at 12 .5 P.M. (departure 12 10) ; Aluwick Junction, 1 0 (departure 1 .5) ; Berwick, 2 0 (depar ture,Grant's House, '2 32 (departure, 2 37); Edinbu 2 5) Grant's 3 45. It has already been stated that her Majesty will not g o throu g h the city, but reach Holy rood House by temporary arrangements made for the' purpose. THE ARMY. Lieutenant• General Sir C. J. Napier arrived at Portsmouth yesterday on a visit to the Lieutenant- Governor Mejor-General Lord Frederick Fitzcla rence. At eleven o'clock he attended the weekly ceremony of " trooping the Queen's colour," which was witnessed by a very large concourse of persons, including many members of the aristocracy staying in the neighbourhood. In compliment to the veteran General the Lieutenant-Governor had had erected a triumphal arch at the entrance of the governor's field, where the above imposing spectacle takes place, and upon it were inscribed " Scinde," " Meanee," and " Ilyderabad." At the conclusion of the ceremony Sir Charles was introduced by Lord Frederick Fitz clarence to the officers present, after which he re meined on the ground during the performances of the hands of the Royal Marines, 7th Fusiliers, 48th, and 8 which, as is usual on the Rlo_n e d c ay ve 95th regiments, parade, were united in one monstre and most effective band.
