Department of the Comptroller for Victualling and Transport Services, Somerset-place, August 15, . • Th 2 Com m i ss i oners for executing the Office of Lord nigh Admiral of the Unibad Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, do hereby give 'toffee, that the periods for the deli ver y o f th e S a lt B ee f and Salt Pork, for which Tenders are to be received on TunRODAT, the 25th eptembernext, at One o'clock, have been EXTENDED—for the drat Moiety to the 31st of March, and for the Remainder to the 3lnt, May next, and they will be ready to treat with such persons as lo_al be willi ng to CONTRACT for supplying and delivering into her Alikjecty'a Victualling Stores at the undermentioned Ports, the follow ing quantities Of WWI 4.2b.,,302 2,461,663 5,744,965 3,455,217. 2,895,243 6,350,460 .3,817,403' • 3,329,975 7,147,738 .nparinv the' gross rivetme ptoduced by the. _ways of the United Kingdom witlkthe,totallength of lines under traffic, it will be apparent that the in crease of traffic has proceeded in a much less ratio than the extent of the railways. In thefollowing tables we have given, in the first column, the average length of railways under traffic in each of the Jest three years, and in the second column we have given the gross receipts of the last six months of each year:— Increased per Increased per Railways under Itccely,ts. centege of rail- centage of • traffic. ways open. receipts. 1848 5,007 5,744,965 1849 5,740 .6,350,460 14.6 10.5 1850 6,4E4 7,147,378 25.4 12.5 It appears, therefore, frord these results, that while the railways were increasing in length 14 C per cent. in 1849, as compare d w ith 1848, and 25.4 per cent. in 1850, as compare d w ith 1849, the revenue pro• ceeding from them was increased only 10.5 per cent. in 1849, as compared with 1848, and only 12.5 in 1850 as compared with 1849. The working expenses of railways are of course subject to considerable variation, in some being 60 or 70 per cent. of the receipts, while in others they do not exceea from 35 to 40. As 'we have official returns of the gross, receipts of the railways, as well as the capital invested in them, if we possessed cor responding returns d their working expenses we should be enabled to ascertain the net profits on the capital of correct data we ma vo h l o v li e , d e . vap t p h r e oxi a m bs a e t n p. c t e 97 tti4 Interesting result. woU' tse he full, would o f the a eon- W.18 )3 89.] ii ALT MEAT, orthe cure ut the ensuing season, viz. 4.

" A rase by any other name would smell as sweet." No doubt of it, but would any other name invite so many to smell It ? We think not. The rose has a good name,—there is everything in a name, but it must be a name acquired by good service. Many of the leading merchants and manufacturers in this kingdom have earned a good name for whatever they sell or make, the pubic con fidence in their names, as a guarantee for the quality of whatever they sell or make, is settled. Hundreds may imitate them, but there is something repujnant to well-regulated minds in all imitations —all attempts to profit by another man's enterprise. What gave Messrs. E. MOSES and SON a name ? Why, their originating the system of " economy in dress," not by making cheap clothes, as cheap clothes are generally made, not by using damaged materials, and . cutting all sorts of ways, making clothes of all shapes but the right, to eke out the piece of cloth, but by combining with cheapness the best material, the best workmanship, the newest designs, and that peculiar art of cutting out for the human figure that placed a ready-made coat of theirs upon a higher footing than three-fourths of the clothes made to measure by fashionable tailors, and many years' trial have proved that they deserved the confidence of the public which they have so completely secured. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have now enormous quantities of every article of apparel adapted for all classes—the, most exquisitely finished articles for men of fashion ; neat, sound, durable, and novel garments of all kinds for the middle classes ; some thousands of the most respectable, but hardwearing, clothes for working men, and all at prices that the public would think impossible, but for the simple fact, that there they are with the prices in plain figures, for any one who chooses to take them, and not only at their great Mart in Aldgate and the Minoriea, and their enormous West-end branch establishment in New Oxford-street, but also at their coun.ry branches in Sheffield and Bradford, where there are also hundreds of sporting dresses of every appropriate material at half the price charged by ordinary tailors for worse articles.

WOOL TRADE, LONDON, AUG. 28.—1 n colonial woo privately there is not much doing, but prices keep firm. English sorts are rather more inquired for, but the busi ness is not extensive. The imports of wool into London during the week ending to-day have ben 6,905 bales, including 1,255 from South Australia, 1,126 from Syd ney, 1,832 from Vau Diemen's Land, 962 from Bombay, 239 from Port Phillip,3ll from Spain, and the rest from Germany, New Zealand, &c. FOREIGN WOOL, LEEDS, AUG. 29.--Trade continues moderately active in most descriptions of colonial wool, and prices firmly supported. German wools, however, are still only in very limited request. ENGLISII WOOL, LEEDS, AUG. 29 —There is not any change to report in this branch of trade this week, either as to demand or prices. YORK Wool., AUG. 28.—The show of wool at our market this day was good for the season; the quantity was 200 shoots, nearly all of which found buyers at fully last week's prices. LITERPOOL WOOL, AUG. 28.—The imports of wool during the past week are :-816 bags from Bombay, 58 Mohair, 78 Malta, 212 Lisbon, 43 Egypt ian, and 315 Oporto. The market is steady and prices unchanged. Last week 11,000 bags Alpaca was printed instead of 1,100. TRADE OF LEEDS.—The markets have been very sluggish at our Cloth halls both on Saturday and Tues day, and there has also been less done to ureter than has been the case lately. Prices are without any alteration, .and the stocks arp rather on the increase. A fair amount o`: business has been done in'the warehouses during the week, the principal articles in demand being heavy pilots, whitneys, &c., for the winter trade. In other sorts there has been very little doing. TRADE Or LEICESTER,—The demand continues steady, although not so good as usual at this seasou of the year. But little is doing by the hands, many of where have obtained temporary employment io harvest operations. A late autumn trade is confidently antici pated. Wools and yarns remain without alteration. BRADFORD, AUG. 28.—Wool.—There is really nothing different in anything, either as regards the quality coming to market, the stock on hand, or the in clination of the spinners to buy—such is the monotonous state of the wool trade, for all kinds of English, and sorts suitable for combing purposes. Neils and broker are easy of sale, owing to the small quantity making. Yarns.—Thera is no feature worthy of comment ; every thing is as bad as it can be, for all kinds of yarns under No. 40's are selling at such prices that it is etter to allow the frames to stand than to produce yarn b s for the finer numbers. On the whole the trade is in nsatis factory state ; and unless there is very de a id u ed and early change, we see no prospect before us but that of a miserable winter. Pieces.—There is about the same business doing na we have noticed for some weeks past in goods suitable for autumn, but there is not any im tu - p rove ment in prices ; and the whole body of nut of rers aro doing the most profitless business ever known at this season. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, AUG. 2S.—The advance in price demanded by spinners and manufacturers in con sequence of the rise in the cotton market, gave a check to the demand here, both for goods a nd yarns,from which it has not yet recovered. At the same time a moderate amount of business is doing both in mule and water-twist, and in most descriptions of piece-goods, though the orilers given aro almost uniformly confined to the supply of the immediate requirements. Producers being at present, for the most part, under contract, are not disposed to make any abatement in the prices asked at the beginning of the week. Merchants have not suf ficient confidence in the stability of present rates to do anything with a view to supplying stocks, however ex hausted, or upon speculation. The private ad ices from India confirm the published accounts, and though the state of commerce was more encouraging in Bombay than in Calcutta, houses in that trade here have evinced very little inclination to do busine ss in the present state of the market. The demand of spinners is jd. to d. per lb. for yarn above the rates of last week, and having con siderable orders on hand, they are able, as above stated, to exhibit considerable firmness. Manufacturers ask proportionably high for goods. SEABORNE MA] [N signifies that the mails are sent --di from by the night—and Id by the moruingspl 1 When ma PLACES.

LIFE.I3OAT3 IN SCOTLAND. — III Scotland, with' a seaboard of 1,500 miles, there are eight life-boats--at St. Andrews, the Tay, Arbroath, Montrose, Aberdeen, Wick, Ardrossan, and Irvine. Some of these boats are in tolerable repair ; that at Wick is quite new ; others are quite unser viceable. The boats at Aberdeen, Montrose, and St. An drews have been the means of saving 102 lives. There are Manbv's mortars at nine stations, and rockets at seven sta tions; they have been instrumental in saving 81 lives. Orkney and Shetland are without any prevision for saving life; and, with the exception of Port Logan, in Wigton shire, where there is a mortar, the whole of the west coast of Scotland from Cape Wrath to the Solway Firth (an ex tent of 900 miles, without iuchteltrig th e islands) is in the same state.—Scotsman. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. (Continued from The Sun of Wednesday.) The official return made annually by the Railway Commissioners of the number of accidents which occur upon the railways and their causes, and also of the quantity of traffic in passengers and goods carried upon them in the same tithe, supplies the means of ascertaining the actual chances of accidents to which each railway passenger is exposed. It is not enough, however, to compare, as is com monly done, the number of accidents with the total number of passengers booked, for it is easy to show that such a comparison does not afford a true mea sure of the ristr. By adopting such a measure it would be inferred that a passenger who travels 10 miles is exposed to as much risk as one who travels 500—an obvious error. The risk of accident to each passenger is, Ceteris paribus, in the exact proportion of the distance he travels. To calculate the risk, therefore, it is only necessary to compare the number of accidents with the mileage of the passengers booked. Such a comparison has been made, and the result of it shows that when a passenger travels one mile on a railway the chances against his encountering an ac cident fatal to life are 65,363,735 to 1, and that the chances against his encountering an accident pro ducing personal injury, even of the slightest kind, are 8,512,486 to 1. Of course the chances of accident of either kind will be augmented in the exact proportion of the dis tance travelled. Thus, if a traveller go 100 miles the chances against his suffering an accident fatal to life are 653,637 to 1, and the chances against an accident productive of mere bodily injury are 85,125 to 1. It must he observed here that this calculation ap plies only to accidents arising from causes beyond the control of the passenger himself. The causes of accident which are independent of the passenger are generally through collision or the escape of the train, or some parr of it, from the'rails. Since all trains moving in the same direction travel on the same line of rails, it is evident that, if the trains moved at the same speed and all stopped at the same stations, no collision could ever take place, except when a train should be retarded or stopped by accident, or in the case of a vehicle being improperly left standing on the line. The probability of a collision will, therefore, depend on the difference between the speeds with which several trains travel, and the difference between the number of stations at which they stop. But on railways, as worked at present, it is impos sible to maintain that uniformity which would re move this risk of collision. Passengers and goods being worked upon the same line of rails, and the latter being carried at a less speed than the former, a serious source of danger is produced. If the pre sent enormous amount of transport had been foreseen when railways were in an early stage of their pro gress, it might have been a question for consideration whether it would not have been advatageous to con struct the trunk railways at least, with three lines of rails instead of two, reserving an exclusive one for the goods traffic and the third class passenger trains which stop at all the stations. But the railways being now constructed, it is too late, and nothing remains to be done but to adopt the most efficient protection against these collisions, the probability of which is augmented with the frequency of the trains and the difference of their various speeds. The accommodation of the public requires frequent departure, great expedition, and means of arriving at numerous intermediate stations on the line; and these demands cannot be satisfied without the calling into existence all the conditions which are productive of danger of collision. It appears from an analysis of the returns of acci dents made by the Railway Commissioners that in every 100 accidents the following is the proportion of he causes which produce them : Accidents from collision ... 56 broken wheel or axle ... 18 defective rail ... ... 14 switches ... ... 5 impediments lying on road 3 off rails by cattle on line... 3 bursting boiler ... 1 100 It appears from this table that 56 per cent. of all the accidents arise from collision ; next to this comes escape from the rails by the breaking of a wheel or axle, and by defective rails, which make up 32 per cent., the cases making up but a small proportion. ►Many of the railway accidents which are recorded arise from the imprwience and the rashness of the' passengers themselves, by far the most frequent causes of such accidents being the getting into or out of the train while io motion, and sitting or standing in an improper place, attitude, or position. The following analysis of the accidents occurring on railways from causes which may be avoided by proper care on the part of the passenger is taken from the work on "Railway Economy " already quoted : ANALYSIS OF 100 ACCIDENTS PRODUCED BY IMPRUDENCE OF PASSENGERS. . _ Sitting or standing in improper positions, killed 17, in. jured 11, total 28. Getting off when train in motion, killed 17, injurel 7, total 24. Getting up on a train in motion, killed 10, injured 6 total i 6. Jumping off to recover hat or parcel, killed 8, injured 5, total 13. Crossing the lino incautiously, killed 11, injured 1, total 12. Getting out on wrong side, killed 3, injured 3, total 6. Handing en article into train in motion, 1 killed. The incautious railway passenger may derive a salutary lesson from this table. lie will see from it that two-thirds of the accidents resulting from im prudence are fatal to life, and that nearly seven of every tan of such accidents arise from sitting or standing in an improper or unusual place or position, or from getting on or off a train while in motioa. This latter circumstance should be most carefully guarded against, for it is the peculiarity of railway locomotion that the speed when not very rapid always appears to an unpractised passenger to be much less it is. A railway train moving at the rate of a fist stage coach seems to go scarcely as fast as a person might walk. To show the rate at which the traffic *upon the railways of the United Kingdom has augmented, we shall exhibit in the following table the passenger traffic executed daily upon the railways in each of the last five years. In each case the amount of traffic is expressed by the equivalent number of passengers transported one mile. Thus, a single passenger travelling 20 miles is here regarded as equivalent to 20 travelling one mile. We also give the number of passengers booked daily, and the average distance travelled per passenger : Average number Average distance Average daily of passengers travelled by each mileage. booked. passenger. Miles. .846 2,184,300 119,975 18.22 1847 ... 2,205,494 139,440 1514 1848 ... 2,484,944 159,134 15'65 1849 ... 2,978,635 194,854 15'30 1850 ... 3,290,864 228,265 s 14'41 The results of this table, so far as regards the dis tance travelled per passenger, will, no doubt, be un expected. Few would have supposed that the bulk of the passengers made such short trips. It appears from calculations, for the details of which we have not space, that the average distance travelled by the first class passengers is 27 miles; that of the second class, 16i; and that of the third class, 14 miles. It is evident from this, that short traffic constitutes the staple of the railway passenger traffic. From the above table, it appears that the amount of passenger traffic daily executed upon the railways augmented in the ratio of 218 to 329 in the last five years. But, in that interval, the length of railways under traffic was augmented in a much higher ratio. At the middle of 1846 the total length of railways under draught was 2,500 miles, while at the middle of 1850 it was 6,300 miles. While, therefore, the length of railway under traffic was augmented in the ratio of three to one, the passenger traffic was aug mented only in the ratio of three to two. The traffic did not increase half as fast as the railway. We take th© following curious comparison of this locomotive service with a corresponding service by horse coaches from the work already quoted. The experience of stage coach proprietors in busi ness conducted on a large scale establishes the general fact that a fast coach travelling between any two dis tant places both ways daily requires to work it as many horses as there are miles. The average load of such a coach is found to be about two-thirds of what it is capable of carrying. Thus, supposing it to be capable of carrying 15 persons inside and out, its average load would be 10. These 10 passengers would be carried both WBy one mile per day per horse. The daily locomotlve service of a horse thus working is therefore repre sented by 20 passengers carried one mile. If we would then ascertain the number of horses which would be necessary to execute the service of the railways, it is only n eceseary to divide their da er of ily , m il ea ge by .90 ; the quotient will be the numb horses required. Let us take, for example, the six months ending Dec. 31, 1848. The daily mileage of the passenge generally during t hese six months was 2,866,682. gees .A$llMll6.- - f i nally, e very traveller who is detained long upon the road mu at resort to taverns for refreshment. If he be 13 ho ors on the road he will at least take one meal, many •will take two. A traveller, however, who is detained only three or four hours on the road will take none. Let us put down the cost thus incurred at 6d. per 1.00 miles for each passenger—a very low estimate, wi s shall then have the following account of the amount flayed to the public in the two years end ing June 3A, 1848, by the railways in passenger traffic as compared with stage coaches, supposing that such a a amount of traffic by such means was practicable :-- Fare saved iby 354,083,534 first-class pas sengers, c trried one mile, at 31d. per head £5,163,718 Ditto by 1,• 357,936,966 second and third class passim igers, carried one mile, at 2d. per head 11,316,14 Value of time saved by 1,712,020 passen gers traveE'ing 100 miles, at 4s.

By a calculation, the details of IN•hich are given in the work already quoted, it appears that in the 12 months ending June 30, 1E4.49, when there were 5,000 miles of rail way under traffic, the number of locomotive engines in operation was 1,965. The total distance run by these within the year was 32,388,569 miles, giving a daily aver age of 88,736 miles. By the returns of the consum pion of fuel made by the Great Western and the North-Western and other principal lines it was found that the average consumption of coke per mile at that epoch was 351 b., from which it would follow that the total amount of coke consumed within the year was. 506,071 tons. But 10 tons of coal are required to retake seven tons of coke, consequently the quantity of (x)al consumed in locomotives on railways in the 12 moaths ending June 30, 1849, was about three-quartet's of a million. The Great Western Railway Company now affirms that the average consumption of fuel in the practical working of such an engine as " the Lord of the Isles," exhibited by them, would, with an average load of 90 tons and an average speed of 29 miles an hour, including stoppages, be only 20.81 b. per mile. We cannot, however, reconcile this estimate either with our own observations or with the published re ports of the Great Western Railway Company them selves. We have not before us, it is true, any reports of that company more recent than those for the year 1848, but it appears by these that in the four years ending 1848 the total consumption of coke on their lines, compared with the mileage of their engines, was as follows : Mileage of Coke consumed Coke consumed. engines. per e i tf i l e ne per Tons. lb. 1845 ... 21,919 1,240,412 39i 1846 ••• 19,731 1,346,341 33 1847 ... 21,454 1,454,610 33 1848 ..• 25,346 1,582,672 35 810 These results are further confirmed by the official returns of the North-Western Railway Company, by which it appears that in the 12 months ending the 30th of June, 1849, their total consumption of coke was 116,396 tons, while the total mileage of their engines was 7,535,230, which gives an average con sumption of 34.61 b. It must be understood, however, that in this esti mate was included all the fuel consumed, not only while the engines are actually in motion, but all they consumed in getting up the steam and when they are standing lighted without working. Unless, therefore, in the two years which have elapsed since the date of the above reports, a reduction has taken place in the consumption of fuel by the Great Western Company to the almost incredible amount of 43 per cent., it would appear that there must be some error in the present estimate. Assuming, as we may do with sufficient accuracy, that the amount of locomotive power and the con sumption of fuel employed on the ra ilways is in direct ratio of their gross receipts , we shall obtain a toler ably accurate estimate of the p resent locomotive power and consumption of fuel by com p arin g the receipts of the past years with those of 1848. In the last six months of 1848 the gross receipts upon the railways amounted to 5,744,9651., while in the last six months of 1850 their amount was 7,147,378/. If we a ssume that the increase of loco motive power and the consumption of fuel have been iu the proportion of these numbers, we shall ob tain the following estimate of the total number of l ocomo ti ve engines now working on the railways of the United 'Kingdom and their consumption of fuel : Number of engines working on the railways in 1850 ... 2,436 Quantity of coke consumed by them within . the year ... (tons) Quantity of coal consumed ... 627,528 ... (tons) 896,466 Total distance run within the year ... (miles) 40 ' 161 850 A v erage distance run per day ... ...(miles) 110 , 333 It must be admitted that these results are somewhat stupendous. It appears that in the performance of the work of inland communication in these islands the locomotive engine travels daily over a spa ce ne arly four and a half times the circumference of the globe, and that within the year it travels over a space nearly one-half the distance between the earth and the sun. It appears, further, that in executing this traffic a quantity of coal is used which, if formed into a pillar having the base a square yard, would reach a height of 757 miles. It would be extremely interesting if correct data could be obtained for the purpose, to ascertain the proportion in which good s and passengers contribute to the revenue of railways. .Until the year 1847 the Railway Commission ers published, annually, reports of traffic, containing some useful data of this kind, but since that year these reports have been limited to a general summary of the traffic, which for statistical purposes is nearly useless.

The brigade of Guards has reformed, and are firing on the head of the second column of the Imperial Guard, which has just advanced from near Hougomont. At the same moment, Sir Frede rick Adams's brigade (on the right of the Guards) brought their right shoulders forward, and took the Imperial column on their left flank.
