TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—lt is quite refreshing, after all the nonsense lately written on the subject, to read your remarks of this morning on the " shipping interest," particularly those having reference to our late defeat in the waters of the Solent. Many attempts have been made to lessen the significance of that defeat, by asserting that our yachts are built exclusively for comfort and not for speed. This I positively deny. In many cases owners of yachts have been willing to sacrifice every thing for speed, and have given their builders a carte blanche to that end; some have just now given up their vessels to the builders to experinaentalise upon, by lengthening their bows, which will greatly increase their tonnage but make little or no difference in the accommodation. It is not fair to our worthy and public• spirited owners of yachts, or to our American rivals, to assert that our builders have not had ample opportuniiEs to produce the fastest vessels which their experience and ingenuity could devise, unfettered by any conditieue whatever. It is quite a mistake to suppose that speed and capacity are incompatible with each other : those qualities are combined in every Yankee merchant man. The Almeria, although a " Flying Dutchman," is no phantom fillip. She is a good substantial craft, fit to go to sea in any weather with perfect ease and safety. She has fair accommodation, and would doubtless have had more, had her builders guessed the sort of vessels she would have had to contend with. During a six years' service on the coast of North America I have had abundant opportunities of seeing whet such vessels can do in the, heaviest weather. The America appears to he built on scientific principles; her form gives her extreme stability, for which she is in no way dependent on her ballast. With our yachts it is generally a mere question of " canvas v. ballast." Tnis must be patent to all who have witnessed the hidesius sight of a lot of yachts (I allude parti cu l ar l y to t h ose o f t h e Thames Club) burying themselves under a press of canvas, and heel ing over to an angle of 45 degrees. The America sails very nearly on an even keel, end has never been seen to heel over sufficiently to cause her to derive any considerable assistance from her ballast. It is not, trust, necessary to explain that ballast does not give any material stability to a vessel until she has a con siderable heel. Ido not advocate the propriety of building vessels to sail without ballast. Such can never be safe in a heavy sea. It has nearly proved fatal to several of Sir 'Willia m Symonds' the Quail, Star, R acer , &c., which were all thrown on their beam-ends by the force of the waves without a sail being set, at least nothing more than a trysail. A ship dependent solely on her form for stability is in this predicament ; her form merely tends to keep her hull perpendicular to the surface of the element on which she floats; when, therefore, she may be floating on the side of a tinge wave, rising at an angle of 45 degrees, she becomes suddenly thrown over to that inclination, and should a second wave give her a lift at this critical moment, before she have time to recover her upright position, and when the top weight of guns and the leverage of the masts all help to turn her over, a capsize would be a very probable result. The ballast of a ship, however, acts in a totally dif ferent manner; it tends to attract the keel of the vessel to the centre of the earth, without any refer ence to the action of the waves. The America pos sesses both these essentials ; her form gives great sta bility, and ballast renders her indepenlent of the freaks of old Neptune. In a letter you kindly published before the great challenge match came off I expressed the opinion that much of the superiority of the America was due to the cut and make of her sails. This has been fully confirmed by the result and by all who have since written on the subject. Although the Titania was beaten by only four minutes in a run of 24 hours, she took nearly oneefourth longer time tnan the America to work the same distance to windward. Such an enormous disparity could not exist—ceteris paribus—between vessels with the respective forms of the America and Titania. It could only be occasioned by seme erroneous application of the propelling power. The effort of our schooner and cutter sailors appears to be to spread the greatest possible amount of canvas on a given length of mast, which is then supported by all manner of ropes. The Americans are content with as much canvass as the stick will bear, without any material support from rigging. I cannot further explain this without the use of technical terms, which I wish as much as possible to avoid. In endeavouring to point out what appear to be some errors in our yachting system, I have not the slightest intention of casting ridicule on those to whom we are indebted for almost every improvement in the build and rig of our ships. Sir William Sy moods, who has immortalised himself by bringing into the navy a very superior class of sailing ships, began his career as an amateur builder of boats and yachts, and he has been eclipsed only by another yacht builder, Joseph White, of Cowes. The fastest mer chantman I ever met at sea, the Ilaid6e, of London, was built by White. The fastest of the experimental brigs, the Daring, was also built on his lines, and her capacity for stowage was greatly superior to either of her competitors. The Phaeton has just left the frigate squadron covered with laurels. It was a long time before our dockyard artificers could make a fore and aft sail ; consequently the boom mainsails of our brigs were made by contract by a yacht sail maker at Gravesend. My own first lesson iu sail making, which I have since endeavoured to turn to account, was given by a noble yachtman ; and I be lieve there are few naval officers who have not picked up a wrinkle from the same source. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, Emsworth, Sept. 6. H:J J. MATSON, Capt. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE: Captain Charles Hope (1826), it is now stated, will be the new Captain Superintendent of Sheerness Dockyard, and not Captain Charles Eden, as reported. Captain Hope commanded the Thalia, 42, and lastly the Trafalgar, 120. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord G. Paulet, is or dered to be paid wages in advance, prior to leaving Devonport for Portsmouth. She will have her com passes adjusted on Thursday, by Mr. Thompson. THE AMERICAN STEAM -FRIGATE MISSISSIPPI.—It has been already announced that the American war steam-frigate Mississippi had run ashore off St. James's Castle, on the coast of Turkey. From all accounts it is very likely that she will remain there, for, notwithstanding the united steam power of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Euxine, and steamers Levant, Stamboul, and Impera trice, making a total force of 1,900 horses, was put into requisition fur many hours, the Mississippi ex erting her own steam power at the time, they failed to start her, and the steamers were obliged to leave her in her forlorn condition to pursue their respective routes.—Herald. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—Th e H ercu l es , 72, t roo p and store-ship, Master Commander R.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION Yesterdag the receipts at the doors of the building rose to 2,7951. the number of visitors, according to the police returns, being 58,015. The Duke of Nor folk gave a holiday to 60 more of his farm labourers, who, :previous to starting, were regaled with a sub stantial .hreakfast at Arundel. Thence they were conveyed by express train to the London-bridge ter minus, and they made their appearance in the Exhi bition in full agricultural costume, and with green rosettes in their lints, surmounted by ears of corn, as the signs of a completed harvest. With reference. tc the lock controversy, we have re ceived the following copy of a letter addressed by the Messrs. Bramah to Mr. George Rennie, chairman of the. committee of arbitration, from which it will be seen that, while stating certain objections, they have paid Mr. Hobbs the 200 guineas won by him : " 124, Piccadilly. Sept. 9. _ " Dear Sir,—We beg to acknowledge your letter of yesterday's date, and will not trouble you to attend here to-morrow, but beg to hand you the 2101. awarded by the arbitrators to Mr. Hobbs. We need scarcely repeat th 4 the decision at which the arbitrators have arrived has surprised us much, and we owe to ourselves and the public to protest against it. We do so for the following reasons:— " 1. Because the arbitrators, having been appointed to see fair play,' and that the lock was fairly operated upon, did not, although repeatedly requested in writing to do so,'once inspect or allow any one to witness Mr. Hobbs's operations during the 16 days he had the sole custody of the lock, and was engaged in the work. "2. Because the arbitrators did not once exercise their right of using the key, although repeatedly re quested in writing to do so, till after Mr. Hobbs had completed his operations ; and then, instead of applying it at once to prove no damage had been done to the lock, allowed him 24 hours to repair any that might have occurred. " 3. Because the leek being opened by means of a fixed aparatus, screwed to the woodwork in which the lock was enclosed for the purpose of the experiment (which it is obvious could not have been applied to an iron door without discovery), and the addition of three or four other instruments, the spirit of the challenge has evidently not been complied with. "4. Because from the course adopted an opportunity of some good scientific results has been taken from us, as neideor arbitrators nor any one else saw the whole, or even the most important instruments by which it is said the lock was picked actually applied in operation, either before or after the lock was presented open to the arbitrators. "5. Because during the progress of Mr. Hobbs's ope rations, and several days before their completion, we called the attention of the arbitrators to what we con sidered the interpretation of the challenge, begging at the same time that they would apply the key and ap point some one to be present during the residue of the experiment, feeling that whatever might be the result in a scientific point of view, the reward could not be awarded. We would add that we think that several points which appear on your minutes should not have been mentioned in your award, more especially that Mr. Hobbs on the 2d of June took a wax impression of the lock, and had made, as far as he could, instruments therefrom between that date and the commencement of his operations. " We are, dear Sir, your obedient servants, BRAMAH and Co. " George Rennie, Esq., Chairman of the Bramah Lock ommittee." The Canadian exhibitors have set an example of practical wisdom, with reference to the Exhibition, which is well worthy of imitation. Feeling that this great display in Hyde•park would be chiefly viewed in its bearings upon the industry of this country, they have not lost sight of the fact, that it has an important significance with reference to their colonial interests, and they have therefore appointed a jury to investigate thoroughly the question how they are most to be benefited by the occasion. It is highly probable that the East India Company will adopt a similar course; and to any one at all conversant with the details of the Exhibition, the practical value of an inquiry of the kind cannot be overrated. It is on all hands allowed that the Indian collection is not only the most attractive, but the most instructive display in the The propriet'r, determined to keep pace with its rival, the Great Exhibition, has decided upon continuing the Hippodrome open until the close of the Crystal Palace, and begs to intimate to 1113 patrons and the public that as he opened on the same day as the Palace of Industry, and as his career of success is without parallel, that he would impress upon the minds of his friends the necessity of an early visit, as it will positively close on the 11 th of Oc tober.

It would not be doing justice to the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company to consider their recent arrangement of through fares anti return tickets be tween England and Ireland simply_ in the light of a commerciel speculation. No doubt the scheme now set on foot for facilitating the intercourse bet ween.the two countries will be commercially profitable; but a step in this direction is not without importance in a political and social point of view. The more the people of England and Ireland are enabled to come in contact, the more kindly will grow the relationship bet Ween the:two countries; and prejudices which each nation has formed against the other will be found to fall before the test of actual observation and friendly intercourse. The resources of Ireland also 'nave yet to be developed, and any facilities whereby the inter communication of the two countries can be promoted, and an inducement offered for the investment of capi tal in the Irish soil, may fairly be regarded as a national boon. Toe hooking through and return ticket system be tween England and Ireland hae_been in operation since the Ist of August, but during that month it only extended between London, Birmiughatn, Man chester, Liverpool, and Cheater, on the one hand, and Dublin on the other. It is now carried out between those towns in England, and Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Galway, Ballinasloe, Athlone, Mullingar, Belfast, Newry, and Dundalk. Passengers are also booked to or from Kingstown and Crewe,_ Warring ton, Leeds, Huddersfield, and Bangor. The return ticket system enables a party travelling between Lon dun and any of the above places in Ireland to be absent a fortnight ; and the price of these tickets is usually a single fere and a half; but in some cases it is even lower. Passengers get to Dublin by express trains in 13/ hours, and thus save largely upon the Liverpool route. The distance between London and Dublin is 333 miles, so that a passenger taking a return ticket travels 666 miles, first class express, for 4/. 103., or at the rate of about 123.64. per 100 miles, including boats. Second class passengers are charged in the proportion of one third less. The single fare from London to Galway, first class, is 31.163., and 2/. 12s. second class; return tickets are Si. 15s. first class, and 4/. second class. The single fare to Newry is 31. ss. first class, and 2/. 6s. second class; return tickets 4/. 17s. 6d. first class, and 3 /. 93 . secon. The first-class fare to Belfast is 31. 103., second class 2/. 103. ; return ticket 51. 53. first class, 31. 15s. second. The principal Irish railways which have associated themselves with the Chester and Holyhead Company in the above extension of railway communication, are the Great Southern and 'Western, between Dublin and Cork ; the Midland Great Western, between Dublin and Galway ; the Dublin and Drogheda, the Belfast Junction, and the Irish South-Eastern. When the Killarney Junction Railway is formed from Mal low to Killarney, the railway communication between Dublin and the Lakes will be complete. Railway accommodation will also be afforded between Dublin and Wicklow in the course of the next eighteen months, and the line will traverse Bray and other in teresting scenery in the county of Wicklow. The through railway communication between Dublin and Belfast will be completed in January next, with the exception of the Boyne viaduct, which will not be finished until 1853. It may here be stated that the same system of booking through between England and the places we have enumerated on the other side of the channel will be applied to goods as well as pas sengers. The English tourist will naturally seek Killarney. The medium of communication for the greater part of the distance is the Great Southern and Western Railway (the best constructed and best managed line throughout Ireland), which will take him to Cork, if he prefers first to see the lakes from the Kenmaree road ; or to Mallow, if ho chooses to go direct to Kil larney. By adopting the former course ha will be enabled to visit Cork and Qaeenstown ; and by pur suing that route, Bantry Bay and the magnificent scenery of Glengariff will also be brought within his view. By the Midland Great Western Railway he reaches Galway, whose bay has recently been the subject of so much controversy. As the through fare and return ticket system has only been fully in operation since the Ist September, the effect upon the traffic generally has not yet been ascertained ; but it may be mentioned as an instance of the augmented traffic which must have taken place since the partial adoption of the scheme on the .Ist fair that the Company nt e o d t other ts rn an s d ho d ul e d pen b d e en e e q i i e i s ally are ben n e b ti t benefited. so largely, it is only right anti Our represented icoloniesn its any authority empowered to attend to their in terests, and in the general rush for honours and distinctions, it is much to be feared that their in terests may be overlooked. Our Australian and New Zsaland possessions, Ceylon, Malta, Western Africa, Van Diemen's Land, and other territories owing allegiance to the British Crown, have no au thorised representatives in the Crystal Palace, the contents of which are no doubt deeply suggestive to them. The propriety of their being furnished with reports suited to their respective requirements cannot be disputed, and it is to be hoped that the Colonial office will turn its attention to this matter, and supply them with the information afforded by an opportunity which may never again arise. In our Home Govern ment the same point is suggestive, and the example of private individuals and associations should act as an incentive. The Society of Arts has offered premiums for five general essays. In the same spirit, Mr. Gilbert has announced a prize of 100 guineas for a treatise on subjects tending to improve the present system of banking. If our public de partments were to take a hint from this, the most beneficial results might be expected. Let us suggest, for instance, that Sir John Bur goyne and the Board of Ordnance should depute some perion or persons to report upon the Exhibition as it affected them. The body selected for this duty would have ample materials on which to exercise its talents. It might investigate the merits of the new construction of guns, the advantages of loading at the breech, of conical bullets, of convenient accou trements, of properly tempered swords and so forth. The Admiralty also might come prominently for ward, and determine the moot points of ship anchors, and of the best system of naval architecture. Marine engines and the apparatus for handling guns with dex terity would likewise be advantageously discussed. If there is any truth in the saying, that the best way to preserve peace is to be thoroughly prepared for war, here is a most favourable opportunity for giving effect to that maxim. But the occasion is suggestive to private associations, as well as purely Governmental depart ments. Civil engineers, architects, and id genus omne should not lose the chance afforded them for preserving special records of what they have seen. They cannot expect to have the display in Hyde-park looked at and pronounced upon carefully, according to their view ; and they should, therefore, take that duty carefully upon themselves. The juries in the different classes have, no doubt, done their work well, and their reports will be extremely valuable ; hut an independent judgment formed by bodies that support particular interests, and have an existence apart from the Exhibition, is much to be desired, and there can be no reason why they should not turn their organi zation to account for such a purpose. The Royal Commission encourage them to do so by their own conduct. They are forming a collection of objects in a condensed form as a work of reference hereafter when the Exhibition shall have passed away. They have deputed Mr. Redgrave to report upon all 'matters tending to introduce into our manufactures a better and purer spirit of ornamental design. They propose addressing to the exhibitors a series of questions tending to develop individual experiences and opinions with reference to the Exhibition. They are endea vouring, in a variety of ways, to catch up and con dense into an appreciable form the speculative and statistical interests of en event which may not occur again in our generation. Such labours are of vast importance, and may be most materially assisted both by Government departments and by private associa tions. Prince Albert once characterised the Exhibi tion as furnishing "a new starting point" for the in dustry of the world. If that description is appropriate, the more thoroughly we realize the actual position in which we now stand the more securely can we ad vance towards the accomplishment of those industrial triumphs which the future has in store for us. — Morning Paper. by itie Chester and Holyhead beestrz:wh ways, was, in the month of August, 1850, only fifty, it last month averaged one hundred and fifty—an excess partly owing, no doubt, to the attraction of the Great Exhibition, but showing, nevertheless, a large acces sion of traffic. Tee generally healthy state of the grain and green crops cannot but be a subject of congratulation to those who may visit Ireland. In the spring there were apprehensions with regard to the oat crop, owing to the excessive rain which then prevailed; but the crop has wonderfully recovered during the sum mer, and there will be. an average yield of good quality. The wheat crop, also, will be of average quality, and taking the whole country through, there will be a fair crop of barley. Of the potato crop, which has been the subject of so much altar's, no fears need be entertained, for taking the average of the country, there will be a f:.r greater crop than last year. This year the disease has manifested itself with far less virulence than in former seasons. Fortunately, also, large quantities of potatoes were planted early, and those are quite safe. The abatement in the first symptoms of the disease this season was mast mani fest in the south and west of Ireland. Tl:e bight ap peared unmistakeably about the 10th or 12t1 of Au gust, but in a mitigated form, and it certainly has not made so much progress as in former years. It has not spread over the leaves and stems as in past !easons, and the tubers are proportionately safe. In Fact, in the south and west the tubers may be declare( gene rally free from danger. The disease has cetainly appeared in a more malignant form in the ncrth of Ireland, and the tubers appear to be injure( ; but this remark applies more particularly to the coanties of Down and Antrim. In Donegal the potatoes are quite safe. Mr. Crawford, the Poor-law Commis sioner, recently returned from a tour in the north, has carefully examined the state of the crops in that part of the country, and ho pronounces them t) be decidedly inferior to those in the south and west. As a proof of the abatement in the symptoms of the lis ease' it may be stated th a t a gen tleman in Galeav had his field attacked by blight about three wedts ago. There was the ordinary appearance, accon panied by bad smell, but after the symptoms had le mained a short time the leaves gradually beeline greener, and recovered their original colour, and tlis gentleman now declares the crop to be good, both as regards quality and quantity. In Kerry great feats were at first entertained, but in that county there ail also he a fair crop. The turnip crop will also be generally good, although it has suffered much in the south and west. This crop was attacked in the southern and western districts by grub, worm, and catterpillar, and large portions of it were cut off; but even in the localities most attacked the crop has much recovered. In the county of Cork the turnips were much injured, but they have rallied wonderfully, and, owing to the large quantities of seed sown in this particular c o unty, a good supply may be anticipated. To revert, for a moment, to the potato, it is the ('pinion of those agriculturists in Ire land best qualified to pass an opinion, that a consi derable abatement is observable in the symptoms and development of the blight. Experience also has now taught Irish farmers that their best safeguard against the attack of the potato disease is to plant early, and sow an early kind of potato. Indeed, the only way to secure a good crop is to plant early, between No vember and the end of February, on ground which has been well manured. Bitter experience has shown that if the potato is planted late it more easily falls a prey to the disease. The ravages of the potato blight have made the planting of new kinds of potatoes ne cessary. The cup, the Jumper (now quite gone off in Galway), the banger, the pink eye, the apple, the Jersey blues, and the black seedling, are evidently be coming scarce, and it is necessary to plant kem ps, "pro testants," forty folds, and" peelers." Not only are the chances of a good crop augmented by planting early, but by adopting this course employment is given to the people at a period of the year when they otherwise would be idle. The experiment of early planting was at first considered dangerous, on account of the frost ; but experience has shown that although the first leaves may be cut ofi in the spring, the potatoes sub sequently recover themselves. With regard to the potato crop, 53 a whole, it is the opinion of the best informed persons in Ireland that there is no ground for apprehending a failure ; but, on the contrary, that a ter better crop than last year may be locked for. At all events all agriculturists concur in thinking the g l o omy anticipations of failure indulged in by Mr. I Kincaid and others a t the be ginning of the season premature and unfounded. Having thus briefly spoken of the various crops, this account would be in complete if reference were not made to the flax crop, with regard to which so much interest must be felt by all persons visiting Ireland. There can be no doubt that the growth of flax has much increased in Ireland, and that it is now cultivated in parts of the country where it was before wholly unknown. It is now ad mitted on all hands that, if the Chevalier Claussen's invention, about to undergo trial by Sir Robert Kane, is found successful the flax crop will become one of the most important in the country, both in an agri cultural and manufacturing point of view. THE COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL H'A ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. The fearful collision which happened to two excur sion trains on this line on Monday evening was at tended by the most disastrous, and it is feared fatal, consequences. The trains which met with the disaster were crowded with hundreds of visitors to the Crystal Palace, and, considering the great danger they were exposed to, it may be deemed a most providential circumstance that a frightful sacrifice of life did not ensue. The Hornsey station is rather prominent, and can be seen from a considerable distance by those in charge of an approaching up-train. On Monday evening, between five and six o'clock, an up-train of trucks, laden with coal, was suddenly brought to a stand-still at the Hornsey station, in consequence of the engine which was attached becoming disabled from some cause or other. As soon as the moving of the train was found to he impracticable with the means then at command, the station-master adopted the most prompt measures for having the usual precau tionary signals placed at the rear of the trucks, and seeking the aid of a pilot-engine from town. In a short time an up luggage train appeared in sight, and on ar riving near the station was duly stopped, the coal-trucks of course obstructing its progress to London. Atten tion was then drawn to the safety of the up excursion trains, their usual period of passing that portion of the line having nearly arrived. In addition to the ordi nary long-distance semaphore signal, a man was sent down the line some distance behind the luggage train with a flag and lamp, and the next train that came up was that filled with visitors from Hull, Grimsby, and Boston, &c., which was safely stopped. Further precaution was then adopted, and behind this third train which was brought to a stand-still two men were sent along the line, one to the extent of 1,000 yards, with orders to exhibit the stop and danger signals ; which the men said they duly complied with. While this was going on every effort was used to move the coal-trucks one way or the other. Unfor tunately the line at present has no electric telegraph; but at length the pilot engine arrived, and, with all the dispatch possible under the circumstances, the coal-train was got under weigh, followed by the luggage train. The station being clear, the Exhibi tion train from Hull was signalled to come up to the platform; but the preceding train being only so short a distanceahead, it was necessary to detain it until they had been some way on the road. The usual red lights were out, and it is stated that the man who had gone back more than 1,000 yards remained at his post. How ever, the Hull train had not been standing many minutes before another filled with excursionists from Leeds, York, &c., and driven by two engines, was observed to be coming up bellied it at a rapid rate. It was obvious that the long danger signals bad not been noticed, and we may perhaps as well mention here that neither of the trains in their ordinary course were appointed to stop at Hornsey. The con sternation that prevailed on the Leeds train coming so close in sight almost beggars description. On the cry being raised, " A train is coming behind you, move on, move on," an attempt was made to put the Hull passengers in motion, but scarcely had the en gine taken a few strokes, before another cry was given, a collision appearing inevitable, " Jump, jump." Several did so, and in a few moments the front loco motive of the York train came in contact with the rear of the Hull carriages. The shock is described to have been of the most formidable character. The last three carriages of the Hull train were second class, and as we are informed by an eye-witness, they were thrown about upon one another and shattered almost to pieces. Happily their framework and couplings held, and to this fortunate cir cumstance may be attributed the preser vation of the lives of the unfortunate occu pants. The excitement and confusion somewhat sub siding, attention was immediately directed to the in jured passengers. The Rev. Mr. Snell, of Fleet, near liolheach, in Lincolnshire, who hai come up to town to visit the Exhibition, was removed in a dreadful state of suffering. He had sustained a concussion of the spine, an injury which utterly prostrated the whole of his lower extremities. With every care he was re moved to the nejabbouriozZgray.a9o4, An , the *village a Horn . se;, and other - medical gentlemen. Mrs. Sarah Reynolds, of Tyler-street, Hitchin, who was accom p.,nied by her son and daughter, also received much injury. She pas pronounced to have a leg fractured near the knee joint, and fractured ribs. Her son and daughter were also injured about the face and legs. Mr. Jackson, a medical gentleman, who had come up from Lincolnshire, was found insensible. He had been seriously struck on the head, and blood was flowing from his ears. Mr. Ffolkes, a gentleman living in Upper Southwick-street, Connaught-street, also sustained contusions. The wounded passengers being extricated, and the express up-train, which was over-due, stopped, the usual information was forwarded to the officials at the King's-cross terminu', and Mr. Seymour Clarke, the general manager of the Great Northern Railway Company promptly visited the spot. Mrs. Reynolds was ad vised to remove to University Hospital, whither she was conveyed. On learning the critical condition of the Rev. Mr. Snell Mr. Clarke placed at the rev. gentleman's disposal a special train to town, in order to communicate with his son, whom we are informed is also in holy orders. A messenger was accordingly dispatched, and the son returned with the train. We should also state that Mr. Clarke expressed his readi ness to send to London for any eminent surgeon he might feel anxious to call in. His state yesterday, while not worse, was far from favourable. He had expressed a desire that Mrs. Snell might be sent for; and in the course of the day a relative started by train for her. At the present stage of the proceedings we abstain from making any allusion to the exact cause of the accident. The whole facts were laid before the directors yesterday, and the usual information was forwarded to the Board of Trade on the subject. We may state, however, that the driver of the train has been suspended. _ As far as we could gather the following appears to be a correct list of the parties injured : The Rev. W. Snell, aged 56, of Fleet, near Hol beach, in Lincolnshire—Concussion of spine, and a consequent injury to the whole of his lower extremi ties. Lying at the Railway Hotel, Hornsey. Mrs. Sarah Reynolds, of Tyler-street, Hitchin, Herts—We were informed by the medical gentlemen who saw her at Hornsey, that she had sustained a fractured leg and rib. Last evening, however, one of the officers of the company acquainted us that it was ascertained that the leg had not been fractured. Sarah Reynolds (her daughter)—contused face. Henry Reynolds (her son) —ankleinj ured, and con tused leg and arm. Mr. Jackson, surgeon, of Lincolnshire—head in jured, and other wise hurt. D.UTCFI THEATRES.—A theatrical commission, nominated some time ago by the King of Holland, to inquire into the state of the V eatrical art in that country, has pre sented a report to his Majesty, recommending that for the future the theatres shall not be considered private commer cial speculations; that t,) each one a competent director, with a fixed salary, shall be appointed; that care shall be taken in the choice of pieces; that authors shall be encou raged; that performers shall be fairly rewarded; that losses shall be borne by the state ; that the prices of admission shall be such as to suit every purse; and so on. The King, who takes peculiar interest in theatrical matters, is, it is said, dis posed to agree to all this. — Literary Gazette. • Mr. Pfolkes, gentleman, of 9, Upper Southwick- Szeet, Connaught street, liyde-park--contused face.

The decrease is 2.► per cent. between 1841 and' 1851. In 1841 the total number of persons was 8,175,124, and on the 31st of March last 6,515,794, being a decrease of 1,659,330, or 20 per cent. s'rom representations made to us, there were many otlnrs who suffered seriously in the train. FAT'AL BO AT ACCIDENT ON THE TINE. Os Monday an i n quest was held at llowdon, before Mr. Stephen Reed, upon four of the bodies of the un fortunate sufferers by the boat accident, the particulars of whch appeared in our columns of Wednesday :'nom the evidence it appears that there were nineteen persons in the sculler-boat, and that in con sequence of its being thus overcross ded, and the tide running itrong at the time, it was unmanageable, and was drifted athwart the stern of a vessel which was lying at a short distance from the steam-boat, upon which the passengers were to have been landed. The boat sank immediately after it struck, and six persons were drownsd, only four of whose bodies have yet been recovered. William Wright, a boat-builder, d epised that he had measured the boat and found it to be 15i feet long and G feet broad. It was capable of holding only fourteen persons with safety; and, with eighteen or nineteen persons, there could not be sufficient room to manage the oars. The coroner, in addressing the jury, observed, that though there was a great number of passengers on board, there was no evidence to show that the boatman, John Paige, solicited them to go into the boat, or that any of them expressed any a pprehension of danger. It wits true that a person - who took passenger s into his boat should exercise some discretion, as he was an swerable for their safety, and if this boatman con sidered there were too many for safety, he certainly was very blameable in taking them. Tbere was no regulation upon the Tyne as to the number of persons a boat should carry, as there was upon the Thames, but if they thought this man had not exercised a sound, and proper discretion it would be a very serious thing for hien. If, however, he had not been remonstrated with, and thought there was safety in taking so many passengers, it was one of those unfortunate accidents which there is no accounting for. The jury, after five minutes' consideration, returned a verdict of ac- [PRICE SD. cidental death, and, at the same time, expressed a wish that the boatman should be reprimanded for his want of skill and judgment, which was immediately done in an impressive manner by the coroner. TRACES OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. We were happy to give our readers yesterday an account of the intelligence just received from Davis Straits of the Arctic Expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin. The information was conveyed in a mmorandum given by Dr. Kane, surgeon to the American brig Advance, to Captain Parker, of the whaler Truelove", which was forwarded by Captain Parker to the Admiralty, by the Tyne, of Berwick, which arrived on the 6th inst. We have since received another account of this ' matter, of which we proceed to give the substance as follows :—Oa the 26th August of last year, the day after the Prince Albert left Wellington Channel, on her return home, further traces of Sir John Frank lin's expedition were discovered by the Advance, to the north of Point Tunes, in Wellington Channel, and on the 27th three graves were found on Beechey Island, by Capt. Penny's parties, which were visited by Capt. de Haven, Capt. Penny, and Dr. Kane. These bore the names respectively of one marine and one seaman of the Erebus, and one seaman of the Terror. Th e d a t e o f the latest death being April 3, 1846. There were also the remains of the observa tory, carpent er ' s s h op, an d armou rer' s f o rge, with stacks of empty mea t t i ns . D r . K ane a dd s everything indicated permanency and organisation. There can be no doubt but that the cove between Cape Riley and Beechey Island, facing Lancaster Sound, was the first winter station of the missing vessels. On the 3d of September the ice in Wellington Channel broke up, and by the 6th the several vessels had penetrated to the Cornwallis, or western side of the channel. Such, however, was the impenetrable character of the pack in Lancaster Sound, that, by the 10th of September, th e en ti re searching squadron was again centred about eight m il es south of Griffith Island. This was the furthest point westward at tained by the American expedition. The latest date from Commodore Austin is of the 13th of September. He was then in momentary an ticipation of making winter quarters, and expectation seemed to point to a small harbour three miles east of Cape Martyr, on the south coast of Cornwallis Island. The American vessels were subsequently frozen in opposite Wellington Channel, drifting in the pack during the ensuing winter from lat. 75 deg. 25 min. out of Lancaster Sound into Baffin's Bay. Their liberation, after much exposure and trial, took place on the 10th of June last, at a point south of Cape Walsinghana, on the west side of Davis Straits, a li near drift exceeding 1,050 miles. Every officer and man in the American expedition had scorbutic symp toms, but no deaths had occurred. The crews had refreshed, and the expedition was endeavouring to rejoin the seat of search. Captain Parker adds, that he left the Prince Albert with the two American ships at Duck Island all well, thus affording very satisfactory intelligence of the progress of the former vessel, which had sailed from Orkney only five weeks previously. We thus appear to owe this beginning of intelli gence from the Arctic regions to the otherwise unto ward event of the Americans having been driven back to Baffin's Bay, where they have fallen in this summer with the whalers, and especially with Captain Parker, of the Truelove, who appears to have given up the papers committed to him by the Americans to the first vessel returning to England with which he came in contact. In itself the intelligence must be regarded as upon the whole satisfactory, proving that the missing ex pedition was safe and well up to the end of their first winter season, with the exception of the three casualties mentioned. There is little doubt of the discovery affording a starting point for the following up the track actually taken by Sir John Franklin's party. Supposing Captain Austin to have gone into winter quarters in the part named as probable (though we think it highly possible that he might have had yet more of the open season remaining, and proceeded still farther) a travelling party would undoubtedly be sent to Wellington Channel for the purpose of making the fullest investigation of the traces, so that the future course of the searching squadron might be shaped accordingly. We hope that the conclusion here presented may prove incorrect, and that the various vessels, though in no case wintering singly, may not be all together, but that a wider field may • be searched in consequence of the travelling parties having a different point to start from. We cannot but turn afresh with melancholy feel ings to the remembrance of the aid which should have been at the service of the gallant searchers, and has been withheld. We allude to the steamer which might at this moment have been ploughing her all but resistless course in the direction ascertained to be that which our missing friends have taken. But the mo ment for argument and entreaty, as well as for action, has passed for this season. May we be spared the bitterest consequences of neglect. We give below an extract from the New Yorh Tribune, of August 19, which exhibits the American feeling upon this subject : " The surprise and disappointment which were felt when, some time since, we heard of the change of pur pose on the part of the British Admiralty, relative to the dispatching a steamer to join the English and American vessels in search of Sir John Franklin, are, it is believed giving place to a feeling likely to produce positive good. It is altogether probable that an American steamer will be sent out in place of the promised English steamer. England had announced to the world her excellent in tentions, and this announcement was undoubtedly a prin cipal cause for the failure of the proposition of 'alr. Seward, of the United States Senate, at the last session of Congress. But for that announcement, a powerful propeller, bearing cur flag, would months ago, with its pro once and its Lzupplies, have gladdened the hearts of our countrymen and friends in the Polar Seas, an would 14e now leading the way in this great enterprise of humanity. We need not inquire why the Admiralty, after deciding upon a measure far more likely to ensure success than any yet tried, have failed to accomplish their design. It is enough for us to know that the pro ject was and is a good one, and that we are in every way able to consummate it. " The superiority of a steamer to all other vessels in the power of penetrating the ice and of extricating her self from difficulty with comparative ease, illustrates her certain efficiency for this service, and requires no com ment or explanation. " Oar other enterprises in steam navigation have been successful, and in the face of a formidable competition are winning for us no little renown. For this enter prise also we are prepared, and success in it will be a crowning honour. Not an officer, not a seaman of the navy, or of the entire marine of the United States, from the veteran to the boy whose commission or whose ar ticles bear the date of yesterday—but would deem it a glorious privilege to be one of the noble company bound outward upon that adventurous steamer's deck; fur he would go attended with the most generous hopes and most heartfelt prayers of every son and daughter of his country. "It was so when the expedition fitted out by Mr. Grinnell went to sea—and it will be so again, when, as we hope, the people of the U n it e d States shall, by the fraternal act now proposed, seek to correct that which, with our present information, we cannot help regarding as the error of England in this matter. " If, as by the English papers we are led to believe, probable traces have very recently been discovered of the missing squadron somewhere to the north of Lan caster Sound; and more especially if the English ves sels now iu those seas are, as reported, likely to suffer through their total ignorance of the place where the provisions sent out last year were deposited (the cap tain of the supply ship having, as is said, been guilty of a most unaccountable blunder), then is it all the more necessary that what is to be done should be done quickly.
