attrtbbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. FRANCE. The CoMmittee of Parliamentary Initiative held two sittings on Wednesday. In the latter it took into consideration the proposition of the three questors, to which some modifications had been made. As it now stands it is as follows : There shall be promulgated as a law, and plaoed on the order of the day, and posted up in the ,barracks, Art. 6 of the decree of May 11, 1348, in the following terms:— " The President of the National Assembly is charged to watch over the internal and external security of the Assembly. For this purpose he has the right to require the armed force and all the military authorities whose co-operation he shall think necessary. The requisitions may be addressed directly to all the officers, comman dants. or functionaries, who are bound to immediately obey them under the penalties provided by the laws." The Committee was fully attended, 30 Members taking part in the ballot, 23 voted for the principle of the preposition ; 6 against it, and one abstained. M. Vitet was elected as reporter. The Petrie of yesterday evening says The candidsteships which principally engage the attention of the electors of the Seine, are those of AI. de Tho rigny, the Minister of the Interior ; General de Feu che res ; M. Eck, a founder; M. Marbeau, the founder of the Creches; General Randon, ex •Alinister of War; and M Persil, ex-. Minister. The great majority of the electors of the Seine appear to be agreed as to M. de Thorigny. Several notable candidates had pre sented themselves, but they all withdrew before the candidateship of the 'Minister of the Interior." The Moniteur Parisien announces at the head of one of its columns the candidateship of M. de Thorigny. The Bulletin de Paris says—" There was a meet ng to-day of the Electoral Union, at which it was decided to propose as the candidate of order for the election of Paris on the 30th inst., M. Devinck, ex- President of the Tribunal of Commerce. The follow ing names were, however, at the suggestion of dif ferent members of the Union, placed provisionally on the list :—Generals Randon and Schramm, M. Lafon taine, and M. de Thorigny, the Minister of the Interior." M. Wolowski has written to the journals to state that there is no truth in the assertion of a Polish newspaper, tha Czas, that the Emperor of Russia has restored the property of his family, which was con fleeted after the Polish revolution of 1830. The Tonlon journals state that orders have been received in that port to send a naval squadron to the coast of Morocco, to obtain reparation for the pillage of a shipwrecked French vessel, and other outrages. The frigates Gomer and Sane, and . the steam-corvette Caton, are to form the squadron, and Vice-Admiral Dubourdieu, is to command it. The criminal proceedings instituted before the tri bunals, at Guadeloupe, against the presumed authors of the conspiracy for burning the habitations in the colony, have concluded by a verdict of guilty against two of the prisoners. The principal one is a man of colour, who , has exercised great influence over the emancipated slaves, and who, using that influence for the triumph of socialism, was in correspondence with the leading members of that party. GERMAN Y. The Cologne Gazette says ahat the Austrian troops which occupy Holstein have gone into winter quar ters. The stations extend over all the country. Hamburgh and Aitcna form the posts of the wings on one side, and Rendsbourg on the Eider on the other. The Dukes of Anhalt Dessau arid Anbalt Coethen, by decrees of the Bth, abolish the laws on ministerial responsibility, on the right of voting, on the regula- . tions of the Diet, and on all the measures arising out of the Constitution of 1848. A commission has been nominated to meet, on the Ist December, to m.ke new constitutional arrangements fur the two Duchies. The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, Bth, says :—" The Prince of Prussia has recently given an explanation on the subject of the reports which have been in circulation on the Government measure for mobilising the army. His Royai Highness find ing himself in a circl.3 of superior officers, and the conversation turning on the subject, said, that he should probably take the command of an army on the Rhine, if events should require such a manifes tation, but that for the moment a war did not appear probable." On the Bth an address, signed by several thousand persons, was .presented at Berlin to the Baron de Manteuffel, the President of the Prussian Ministry. The Berlin journals publish the reply to this address, which had for its object to thank the Minister for his firmness in the cause of order and national indepen dence. M. - de Manteuffel says that he is very grateful for the testimony, and that the people of Prussia may rely on his perseverance in defending the monarchy against doniestic enemies, and upholding its dignity as regards o►her States. RUSSIA, The Breslaw Gazette has the following from the frontiers of Russia, 31st ult. :—" Some days since at Berdyez3w,there was read for the second time, to the sound of the drum, the ukase of the Emperor, which orders all Jewish women to wear their own hair, with the remark that they were forbidden to wear a wig or any ribbons in the form of hair. They are to assume the theses of peasants, and to banish all kinds of luxury from their toilets. It is certain that the Jewish women will not submit to this last injuncticn. They will prefer obeying the ukase according to its original tenor. The authorities axe determined to enforce the execution of the Imperial ukase." MARKET INTEL LIGEN CE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It has become the fashion with those writers of the present day who devote their pens to the interests of the sporting world to review the racing season during the winter months; I, however, in common with a large portion of the fraternity, think it a needless waste of time and paper, those productions never being read in one instance out of a hundred; therefore I shall not follow iu the . course pursued by several of my contem poraries, but instead, in this brief epistle shall attempt to show how far the racing of the past season will affect the great state* of the next year. With respect to the Chester cups, the public have already placed their eff-c- Lions upon some half-dozsn horses, on one in particular, the Hie s Sh er i ff, not without good ' reason, as it is re ported that it' all goes on well he will be brought to the post meant, and in first-rate condition. Mr. Topham not being able from his performances to place anything but a light weight upon him, an d may will no doubt turn out a great favourite before tot, ace, t may run well in the race; be is a sure entry and request, but upon what Nancy also is in great grounds I hardly know, as the weight allotted to her in alt probability will be about Bst. 9 lb. handicapped, at which her being able to win; should she get in a few pounds lighter, matter of course be just about firsf she te a w n i d li ' m a a s y a , like War Eagle in 1848, attain a posi t ion seCollaruri-' to some light weighted crack in disguise. The l!iaclt Doctor, le after his running this year , if not weighted too would he a dangerous animal , and must not be heavily would looked. I will return to this aubject at some futur e r period. I must now attend to the principal race of next year—the Derby. The running of the past season has entirely demolished what chances the following might have, possessed:— Princess colt, Bulls-eye, Bugot Weathergage, Knight of the Shiro, Hamp ton, Islagnese, all Lord Clifden's nominations, Pelopidas, Themistocles, Poodle, ail Lord Exeter's, not even excepting Stockwell, Joe Miller, Maid stone, Canterbury, Delis colt, Bob Major, all Sir Joseph,_er Hawley's lot, excepting Crelio, all Mr. Sidney "-1.1/7.° A. - nominations, Richard Primer, Alhambra, all Rupert, - 10 hnstone's, including the Old Lad, Prince P"rts Convul s it n , Saredon, Norham, Lord Orford's - Couple- Buckt.li Malibrati colt tire, Wingenund, the Nabob, LiVeiMere, Homebeedt ma ou h lakin.

The last, reteating the:Flying Dutchman feat of glususea.capable of the crack, at the presseut moment I feel inclined to to to place my faith in Barbarian, a remarkably strong-bred n .. g- red son of Simoom, and quite equal in every particular to his half bro'hnr Sdylocic, who managed to run third to Surplice in 1848. On Monday or Tuesday I shill enter fully into the crack programme for the Warwick and Leamington Autumnal Meeting. I am, Sir, yours. &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. -- _ Nov. 14, 1851.

We come now to speak practically of the instincts of animals. We say "practically," because we have made these things our study from our boyhood up wards. Our idea of instinct quite coincides with that of Paley, who, in his "Natural Theology," de fines instinct, with a nice discrimination, to be " a propensity prior to experience, and independent of instruction." This is strictly true. We, too, con tend that it is by instinct that the sexes of animals seek one another; that animals cherish their off spring ; that the young quadruped is directed to the breast of its dam for sustenance ; that birds build their nests, and brood with such untiring patience upon their eggs ; that insects, which do not sit upon their eggs, deposit them in those particular situations in which the young, when hatched, find their appro priate food. In short, that it is instinct which causes the salmon and some other particular fish to leave the sea, and enter rivers, for the purpose of safely de positing their spawn in fresh water. What again can it be but instinct, that makes a bird prepare a nest for the reception of what she has never yet seen—an egg ? And what but instinct could teach her, that when laid the eggs require warmth to bring them to maturity ? I can imagine, and admit, that when the embryon first receives the principle of " life"—about ten days after the eggs have been under the " parent in expectancy"—the case is altered. Here, natural affection is called into exer cise, and every day brings with it pleasing evidence to the senses that pain is by-and-by to be rewarded with pleasure. The occupant of the egg is only gifted with motion, but it utters a feeble cry long before it is horn, and the quick ear of the mother knows, in stinctively, at a very early period, all about what is to follow. Hence the difficulty of getting her to quit the nest for food, when the time for hatching is nearly arrived. Her self-importance at such a season is ludricrously comic ; and it is even better than a play when, like Alexander Selkirk, " monarch of all she surveys," and stands confessed the astonished but happy mother of no fewer than thirt e en helpl ess squeeling little chicks !—Kidd's Essays on instinct and Reason. FATE of the BRIM CEMETERY SCHEME. The extent of the Abbey Wood Estate is 438 acres, and the price asked was 40,0001., or about 931. per acre. This the Board of Health were prepared to give, and sought the sanction of the Treasury, stating their belief that they would have no difficulty in borrowing the requisite funds at 4} per cent. from the Guardian As surance Office. The Treasury assented to the purchase and the loan, but the negotiation for the latter was brought to an abrupt termination, owing to the preva lence of a legal objection on the part of the law advisers of the company to the securities provided for lenders under the Metropolitan Interment Act. The objection was this:—lt was said that whilst the Public Health Act, sect. 4, and the Metropolitan Interment Act, sect. 4, provide that the corporate character of the Board of Health shall be continued only " for five 3 ears next after the passing of the Public Health Act, 1848, and thence forth until the end of the then next "session of Parlia ment," no provision has been made as to the mode in which the engagements and liabilities of the Board are to bo met after the expiration of that period. There was a second objection to this effect:—" That as the law now stands, therein nothing to prevent the formation of new cemetery companies beyond the metropolitan dis trict to compete with the Board, and that as such com panies would be free from the heavy charges imposed on the Board for compensations, &c., the Board would be unable to support the competition. This objection goes to the root of all the calculations upon which the Board rest their estimates of a revenue, and can be removed by nothing else but relieving the Board from the possi bility of competition." An endeavour to obtain the money from the Exchange Assurance Company failed on the same ground : the Treasury declined to make advances; and directed the Board to put an end to the negotiation for the Abbey Wood Estate, and to report to the Treasury whether or not it was possible to ter minate also the proceedings for the acquisition of the Nunbead and Brompton Cemeteries. The Board of Health replied, that they had directed their solicitor, Mr. Ellis, to take the necessary measures to end the ne gotiation for the purchase of the land at Eritb, and to report the state of the proceedings as to the two ceme teries; and hero the accessible Minutes end, leaving the burial question, which so much concerns the public health, in a distressingly unsatisfactory condition. B udder. PORTSMOUTU GARRlSON.—Sergeant Flanagan, of the Royal Artillery, found drunk on guard at King William gate guardhouse on Wednesday morning week, under cir cumstances which have led to the belief that a "run" of spirits had been effected through the connivance of himself and men of the guard, who were supposed to have been bribed by a share of the smuggled cargo, received the sentence of a court-martial this day; he is reduced to the ranks. The other four men of the same corps forming the guard in question have been sentenced to different periods of imprisonment, with hard labour, in the military prison at Gosport. MONMOUTHSHIRE RAILWAY AND CANAL COM -IP4NY.—The committee of management, in their report which is to be read at the general meeting, to be held in Gloucester, on the 19th inst., state that in pursuance of the recommendation contained in the report presented to the special general meeting of the 23d July last, the payment of the dividend declared at the previous half-yearly meeting was postponed in consequence of the absence of the necessary funds, and they also express regret that they cannot recom mend the declaration of any dividend at the ensuing general meeting, excepting a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the preferential shares created nnder the Act of 1848. YANKEE INGENUITY.--A man in Connecticut ob tained a winter's supply of excellent potatoes in the follow ing 'cute manner. He gave out word he was desirous of obtaining a specimen of the best sort of potatoes, and would pay three dollars for a peck of such, himself to be the judge. Potatoes poured into his cellar from all the country round, and when the avalanche had subsided, the man handed over his three dollars for the best peck, and the next spring sold potatoes enough to more than cover the original outlay, be sides having had a first quality article for home use all winter. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov, 13. (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) IN THE MATTER OF VISCOUNT DE SEGUEVILLE. This insolvent, Charles Hypolitus Mansell, Vis count de Segueville, applied under the Proton A in for his final order. Mr. Cooke opposed for ecti Captain Bristow ; and Mr. Nichols supported. The case has been before the Court on some former occasions, the last time in July, when the discharge was ordered, and the present bearing appointed for the fitte order. The point now raised was tbat a debt of 2001. had been incurred with Captain Bristow, without reasonable or probable expectation of pay ment. It appeared that the insolvent had been the mana ging director of the Duisburg Iron Company, which failed through the political state of Germany a few years back, and the affairs of the company were now before one of the Masters in Chancery, under the Winding-up Act. He obtained 2001. of Captain Bristow on, it was alleged, some scrip of the com pany, but the insolvent alleged that it was a private debt, to assist him in the formation of the same. Be sides the debt, Captain Bristow had been put to about, 801. law expenses by the insolvent pleading to an ac tio❑ he brought against him to recover the 2001. Mr. Coors thought that the costs so contracted for the vexatious defence might be considered as a debt incurred without probable expectation of payment. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said the Legislature had omitted a vexatious defence from the Protection Act. It was certainly an anomalous state of things that in the other Act, under which a man could not apply without going to prison, it should be an offence, and that under this indulgent Act, which was avail able without imprisonment, it should be omitted. It was certainly very strange ; and as it was omitted he could not consider that it came within the section of contracting a debt without reasonable or probable ex pectation of payment. The insolvent, on his arrest in May last, petitioned under the Protection Act, and applied for his dis 'harge before hearing. He was opposed on the part of Captain Bristow, and his application was refused, on the ground that the debt had been incurred with out reasonable expectation of paying it. He remained in prison until the end of July, when he applied to be heard, and was not opposed. On that occasion he was discharged, and had remained at large till the present occasion, when he applied for his final order. Mr. Coors thought the Court had exceeded its duty, as the discharge should not have been granted till the final order. Captain Bristow was out of town, and had not opposed when the application was made. Mr. Commissioner Prnuirs was of opinion, as there was no opposition when the application was made, that the insolvent was entitled to his discharge. Mr. CooKE still urged upon the Court that the 2001. debt had been contracted without reasonable ex pectation of payment, and referred to the insolvent's schedule and the debts he owed at the time he ob tained the advance. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS, without deciding whether the money was advanced on scrip or as a pri vate debt, was of opinion that, looking at the debts the insolvent owed, it was incurred without reasonable means of payment. He could not consider that the the expectations of the insolvent, as to certain specu lations, were to be considered reasonable. There was no fraud in the case, but he could not grant the final order. At the rising of the Court, the Learned COMbiIS SIONER said he had considered the three months' im prisonment the insolvent had already suffered, and he might come up in a week. The insolvent asked for protection. Mr. Commissioner PHILLirs told him he would willingly give it, but he had no power ; he might come up on Thursday next for his final order. _ _ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. William Griffiths Kemp, a porter, was placed at the bar before Alderman Sir Robert Carden, charged with forging a cheque for 391. 10s., in the name of William Palmer, draper, of 18, Aldgate, with intent to defraud the London and Westminster Bank. Sir R. W. CARDEN said he thought the prisoner bad been made the dupe of some designing person, and therefore remanded the case for inquiry. WORSHIP-STRE - Ef. A middle-aged man, named John Jeffries, described as a hawker, was charged before Mr. Hamniill with an assault of an aggravated description upon a young married woman named Elizabeth Edwards, residing at Baden-place, Hackney. The complainant stated that while standing at the door of her house about three o'clock on that after noon, the prisoner came up with a bundle of hearth brooms, which he offered for sale. She told him she was not in want of such articles, and attempted to close the door, but the prisoner forced it open, and, following her along the passage into the back kitchen, immediately made overtures to her of the most scandalous kind. The prisoner at the same time placed a shilling on the table, and offered to present her with one of his brooms if she would comply with his wishes, but she indignantly repelled his importu nities; and on telling him that she would give him into custody unless he instantly left the house, the prisoner threatened that if sbe ventured to do so he would charge her with having robbed him of the shil ling. He then endeavoured to lock the door, but she succeeded in preventing him from A o doing, and at tempted to escape frown the room to raise an alarm, but the prisoner caught her firmly round the neck, and proceeded to the commission of acts of the grossest description. After a violent struggle she succeeded in disengaging herself, and hastened into the street, followed out by the prisoner, who walked rapidly away, but she pursued him until she met with a police man, and gave him into custody. The prisoner, in an impudent manner, cross-ex amined the prosecutrix, with a view to prove that she met him the same morning at a public-house in the neighbourhood, but she positively denied that there were any grounds for such an imputation. Police-constable 67 N stated that upon the prose cutrix giving the prisoner into his custody she appeared much alarmed and agitated, and that on taking the latter to the station, he said that he was sorry he had not met him first, for he would then have given her into custody instead for detaining a shilling. The prisoner was about to enter upon a rambling and irrelevant defence, but was stopped by the magis trate, who told him that he had better reserve what he had to say, as it was his intention to commit him for trial ; but he should order him to be remanded till Saturday, for the completion of the depositions. LAMBETH. John Mason, alias the Rev. William John Butler, alias the Rev. Charles William Talbot, alias Blind Johnny ; Jane Ferrar, alias Fisher, alias Farr, and Elizabeth Thomas, alias Wood, who have been before examined upon various charges of imposition, were again placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton. Several cases against the prisoners have already been reported, into which it is unnecessary to enter again. The additional evidence to-day merely related to the taking of lodgings in Lambeth-square; but the magistrate, in the course of the proceedings, took oc casion to complain of the dress of the prisoners in Horsemonger-lane Gaol being changed before trial, so that it was difficult to identify them. The prisoners were remanded for a week. Mr. Roberts, who attended fur the prisoner Ferrer, applied for the restoration of a savings-bank book be longing to her, and was told by the magistrate that it bad been taken from the other female, for whom he did not profess to attend. LONDON, NOVEMBER SOUTHWARK. Richard George Irons, a surgeon, residing at 201, Bermondsey-street, and George Bonney, of West moreland-place, City-road, were placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing four sove reigns and two half-sovereigns from Frederick Ogden, a coal and coke merchant, of Burton-street, West minster. _ . The complainant stated that on the previous even ing he called on the prisoner Bonney, wbo is his cousin, at Westmoreland-place, City-road, and was there introduced to the other prisoner. He afterwards ac companied them to the house of the latter, in Ber mondsey-street, where they had some supper. Soon afterwards he (complainant) felt indisposed, and men tioned the facts, when Irons immediately said that he would make him up a little medicine, which would soon put him all to rights. He (Irons) then left the room and soon returned with a draught, which complainant, at his request, swallowed, and in a short time it had such a narcotic effect as to send him fast asleep. He awoke in about an hour, and missed four sovereigns and two half-sovereigns from his waistcoat pocket, which he felt safe, and counted about ten minutes before he went to sleep. He was quite confident he had the sum mentioned when he entered Irons' house. At the period when he awoke Irons was absent from the room, attending to a patient in an adjoining room, and when he returned, com plainant told him that his money was gone, that it was taken out of his waistcoat pocket when he was asleep, and added, "Irons, you have taken it as a joke, re turn it, and no more will be thought about." He, however, in reply, denied that he knew anything about it, said that he had no money about him, and that he would not mind being searched. The com plainant added that he then went to the door and called a policeman, and gave both his cousin (Bonney) and the doctor into custody. Although he had in cluded Bonney in the charge he did not believe he was concerned in picking his pocket, for it was done when that person was out of the room. The reason he gave him into custody was on account of his being in company with them during the evening. Among the sovereigns taken from his pocket was an old one with George and the Dragon on it. He had drank some brandy and water with the prisoners on the way from Westmoreland-place to Irons' house in Bermondsey-street, but was perfectly sober. Mr. CoMaE said that as the complainant had by his statement exonerated Bonney from any participation in the alleged offence he should discharge him, and he might call him as a witness. Bonney then quitted the bar and went into the wit ness-box, when he said that soon after the comp'ainant had taken the draught administered by the prisoner he fell asleep, and he (witness) left the room two or three times, and stood outside smoking a cigar. The prisoner was in and out of the room, on occasions, to attend to patients wbo called for medicines, but he (witness) knew nothing of the alleged robbery. ;He added that he bad known the prisoner for some length of time, and always considered to be a respectable man, and that he had introduced the complainant, who was his cousin, to him on that account. Policeman Irvine, 222 NI, stated that he was called by the complainant, who gave the prisoner and Mr. Bonney into custody for robbing him of 51. lie (the policeman) asked the prisoner it he had done it, and he said that he had not, and added that he had no money on him but some silver. When taken to the station-house, and on being examined, there were found in the prisoner's pocket four sovereigns, one of which was an old one, with a George and the Dra gon on it, a half sovereign, and 18s. hi silver. Mr. COOMBE said that he had no other alternative but to send the case before a jury. The prisoner, who seemed very much agitated, hoped that it would not be considered necessary to adopt such a course, as it would totally ruin him in his profession ; that he had no assistant at home to look after his practice, which he would lose entirely if he was sent to prison. Mr. Coatne said that he had no objection to accept bail for the prisoner's appearance to answer the charge at the sessions, and that the amount of his sureties would depend upon his situation in life. The magis trate then asked him some questions, which he an swered, by asserting that he was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Dublin, and he also mentioned the names of some professional men in London, to whom he was known since he commenced practice in this country. Mr. COMBE said, under such circumstances, he would accept two sureties of 1001. each, and himself in 200/., to appear at the next sessions. The reason he called on the prisoner for such heavy bail was on account of his condition of life being above that of the common run of offenders. If the accused was in an humbler station of life than he represented, he should not have required sureties to such an amount. The prisoner then retracted what he had previously asserted, and said the fact was he was not a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Dublin, although he had entitled himself to act as a surgeon, in which capacity he had commenced practice in the neigh bourhood where he was taken into custody. Mr. COMBE—Oh, then, if that is the case, I shall be satisfied with two sureties of 20/. each, and your self in 401. The complainant having been bound over to pro secute, the prisoner was then committed. HAMMERSMITH. William Harris, aged 23, years, and Henry Round, aged 20 years, were again brought before Mr. Payn ter, on remand, charged with having attempted to murder police-sergeant sergeant Edwin E irthy, No. 18, T division, by shooting him in the legs with a pocket pistol. It will be remembered that the prisoners were fully committed for trial for the felonious shooting, and also for stopping Mr. Edward Long, a baker, near the Uxbridge-road, Ealing, and stealing from his perso❑ four sovereigns, two half-sovereigns, and some silver, and that they were remanded for the attend ance of Mr. Bashford, who had also been stopped and robbed by the prisoners. Mr. Frederick Bashford now appeared, and stated that he was at present residing at Norwood-green. On Monday, the 6th ult., he left the Great Western Railway station at Southall about half-past seven o'clock, and proceeded along the footpath towards his residence, when he observed two men standing in the centre of the walk. He took no notice of them, and was about to pass by, when they suddenly presented pistols at his head, and demanded his money. lie gave them a purse containing two sovereigns and three half-sovereigns. They then took him to a tree, and fastened him to it with a white handkerchief ; opened his coat, and took from his waistcoat pocket a small silver watch and a gold guard chain, which he wore round his neck. They also took from him a glove and his umbrella. He succeeded in releasing himself by obtaining his knife from his pocket and cutting the handkerchief, and immediately communicated with a police con stable, who afterwards found the glove and umbrella near the tree. In answer to questions by Mr. PAYNTER, Mr. Bashford said he could not recognise the parties who robbed him, as it was in a dark place where he was stopped: He believed the prisoners were the men, from their height. They wore masks. Inspector Loxon said the Grand Junction Canal, where the prisoner Round said the watch and chain had been thrown, had been dragged, but they had been unable to find the property. Mr. PAINTER inquired if the pistols and masks were in court ? Inspector Loxon said they were not. Mr. PAYNTER said it was necessary that they should be produced, in order that Mr. Bashford might examine them and ascertain if they were like those he saw upon the men. The prisoners were again remanded. It was stated that upwards of 401. had been sub scribed for Sergeant Earthy and Police constable Bayley, for their gallant conduct in the apprehension of Harris.

INSTITIJIION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. On Tuesday (Sir William Cubits, Pre-ident, in the chair) the business of the evening was commenced b 5 the announcement of the dates of the ordinary meet ings of the session ; of the appointment of December 23d for the annual general meeting, fur the election of the president, council and officers; and of the 25th May, 1852, for the President's Conversazione. The paper read was, "An Investigation of the Strains upon the Diagonal, of Lattice-beams, with the resulting Formulae," by Mr. W. T. Doyne, Assoc. Inst. C.E., and Professor W. B. Blood. The experiments detailed in the paper were made on a model twelve feet in length, so constructed that the diagonals in compression, which were strips of mahogany let into the top and bottom, but not fastened to them, and the ties, which were of hoop iron chains, must of necessity take their respectiv e bearing and strain, and by the substitution of a dy namometer for any one of the ties, the strain on it could be accurately measured. The results of the investigation which were given in a table, showing a remarkable coincidence between the strains as measured and calculated, were, that for a parallel beam, of one span, supported at each end and loaded at the centre, the strains throughout the diagonals were uniform, and the horizontal strains were greatest at the centre, decreasing uniformly at the points of support. For a similar beam, uniformly loaded over its en tire length, the strains on the diagonals commenced at the centre, increasing uniformly to the points of sup port, while the horizontal strains decreased from the centre to the ends, in the ratio of the ordinates of a parabola. These results were arrived at by different methods of reasoning, and the formulae derived from them were stated to be applicable to the more complex form of a closely intersected lattice, taking into consideration the increased number of triangulations. The paper then proceed e d t o s h ow, t h at t h e same reasoning might be applied to beams with solid sides, and their proportions calculated accordingly. As a practical illustr a ti on o f t hi s princ i p l e t h e author exhibited a drawing of the Glyn Taff viaduct, constructed by him, for th e Ab er d are I ron C ompany , in which the main bay, over the river Taff, was 140 feet span, and the weight of iron work 53 tons. This bridge was capable of carrying a constant load of 73 tons, and the weight necessary to break it was calcu lated at 359 tons. In an appendix, the formulae were extended to the cases of beams fixed at one end only ; and also to those having several points of support; in the latter case, it appeared, that the greatest possible strain due to a moving load upon the diagonals, at the centre, was only one-fourth that at the points of support, where the bridge was of one span only, and when there was more than one span, that a portion of the value of continuity was lost in the case of a moving load in consequence of the point of contrary flexure changing its position. The paper was illustrated by diagrams, and the experiments upon the model were explained by the author. The President recalled to those gentlemen who had been recently elected, the engagement entered into on their election, to present original communi cations, books, &c., in order to promote the interest of the meetings, or increase the library. The meeting was adjourned to Tuesday evening, November 18th, when the following paper will he read :—" Description of a new Metallic Manometer, and other Instruments for meaauriug Pressures and Temperatures," by M. Eugene Bourdon, of Paris. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Nov. 13. STOCK EXCHANGE. - T he re was an improved feelin g ex hibited in the share market to-day, and a good business was transacted.
