We are glad to see that on "ruesday next a concert will be given at the Hanover squate Roorps, for the I endit of the sisters of the deceased composer—iVlrs. tiewell and Miss Horn. Mr. Horn is chiefly. known to the general public ai hay toe; written th.)se very popular songs, " Cherry Ripe," " I've ~een roaming," " The deep, deep sea," and others of the serne el - ois ; but his best known musical composi tions were of much higher pretensions, and would have secured him n respectable place among contemporary musicians had he not been otherwise celebrated. Our readers cannot have forgotten that Mr. Horn was also a tenor singer 4 f c . no sligh t pretensions. Among the pieces to be performed on Tuesday is an oratorio (of Horn's composition) entitled Danieta Prediction. A number of distinguished vocalists have offered their ser vices, anti we sincerely hope that the benevolent object of the promoters of this concert will be attained. It i s almost an act of justice to render a service of such very easy performance to the deprived survivors of ono who in his time contributed so much to the enjoymentpt th e public. MU'NE anti. COMMERCIAL NE W CITY. QUAR:rEIt TO 77-1 le The sales of Ci:Von, at Liverpool, on Salt - day, were 5,000 bat,s, of winch 500 were taken on speculatiou. Übe market closed heavily. The sales comprised 4 500 hale.: of American at qt;. to 9t1.; Peruvian and Mar.sn ham at t 3 i. tu 74d; and 300 Surads at 4 V. to 5,1. per lb. —ln kiiiway Shares a fair business was done, with but lade vi.,r.at'oa in prices. hero teas been a firm r market for grain this morn ing, and the supplies have fallen off. The Car tioental mails have not generally reached in due course, but we have accounts from Amsterdam which give the quotation of Dutch Two-and-a• Half per 554 to 11-16, of Peruvian at 82, and of Greek at, Si to 91. Attention may be usefully called to a letter addressed by the French Minister of Commerce to the Chambers cf Commerce, upon the trade that might be succesnfdlly prosecuted with the Celebes, and it is asserted that Holland and France have a better chance in this respect than any other country. At present these islands are Mach quatey supplied, and certain articles would sell well. Alsace faire,, fire-arms of a teitiliar make, , (rui varying to Luit the very different taste of the natives, white and red cotton marked No. 40, and an as:•ortinent of in handkerchiefs, &c., with a lithe wine and brataly, and some fancy articles, could be sent advantageously to aa extent that would freight three or four ships, and their dispo:al would be ( asy, provided rood faith were observed in the description of the merchandise, since the local merchants are now in the habit of relying implicitly upon the factory marks. The returns could be obtained in bills upon the Java Treasury, but coffee of fine quality, gold dust, tortoise shell, rice, cocoa-not oil, &c., are to be had. The intelligeace from Paris is still c:e2med unsatisfac • tory by some parties, although the prices of the Bente continue to advance. The feature most disliked is the alleged spread of Socialism in the provinces, but a shrewd suspicion exists in some quarters that this is magnifierl by the journals in the in terest of Louis Nap Aeon f(r the purpose of more firmly fixing him in power, and rallying to him the friends of order and established government. It is certain that, d• spite the improvement in trade, compared with what was doing a few months since, there isnot full employment for the capital available in France, and this is best shown, perhaps, by the accumulation of specie in the Bank vaults. The foreign commerce of the Re public, however, must be bringing employment to its artisans, and if confidence be not impaired, the home trade will benefit by the more liberal expenditure that has been commenced among the higher classes. The English Funds have been rather variable, but the approaching settlement of the account is the chief thing that now influences prices. Consols have been 95i to 95i for Transfer f r Teursday, but with very little doing. The majority of the speculators, it is still asserted, are Bulls, but the belief in other quarters is, that there has re cently been a good deal of selling, which will greatly counterbalance the time purchases. Money is a little dearer, say f per cent, in the discount market, but a speedy adjustment of the Greek dispute, and a continued improvement in the revenue here, would go far to restore that confidence which was so strong before the Russian loan was announced, a loan, by the bye, which indirectly supplies to the Autocrat the means of intriguing against us at Athena. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 98k to and the Three per Cents. Reduced 95i to 96. Exche quer-bills have been 555. to 585., and India Bonds 89s. premium.

Greek Bonds have risen to 7.g. and 8, and Russian are up to 111, the scrip, however, being heavy at only 2k premium. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, are 55i I-.

In 'Spring Corn very little business was transacted, at barely pre ' vious rates. The prices of Grain in the near continental ports are relatively high. In the United States Flour is held at somewhat enhanced currencies. The navigation of the Baltic is still closed. Up to our market lasteweek, coastwise, the arrivals of Grain were very small. Those from Ireland and Scotland were trifling in the extreme. From abroad we received only 593 quarters of Wheat, 2,800 of Barley, 3,406 of Beans, 47 of Linseed, 358 of Rapeseed, 450 of Indian Corn, and 1,989 sacks of Flour. The continuance of strong gales of wind having pre vented the arrival of several ships laden with Grain, the receipts of English Wheat fresh up to this morning's market was very small, and its quality was by no metals good, owing to the prevailing damp weather. The Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands were unusually bare of sam ples of both red and_ white; and the dew aad i for all kinds ruled steady, at prices qui!e equal to those ob tained on Monday last. Prior to the close of business a good clearance had been effected. Several offers came to hand from our various eastern shipping ports to forward Wheats at very low prices; but as there is every prospect of early and large importations from the continent, scarcely any contracts were entered into. The show of fresh foreign Wheat was trifling ; but the market was well supplied with granaried samples. Fine qualities sold to a fair extent, at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds very few sales of magnitude took place, and late currencies remained unaltered. There was evidently more disposition on the part of the im porters to hold. For the time of year the supply of Barley, both English and foreign, was tolerably good. In grinding and distilling qualities rather more business was transacted, at full quotations. Malting parcels were dull, but not cheaper. The quantity of Malt on offer, ready for delivery, was large. Nearly all kinds met a very slow inquiry, and late rates were with difficulty supported. Very few • Oats were on offer from any quarter. On the whole, the Oat trade ruled firm, at full prices. The market was very moderately supplied with Peas, the demand for which was in a sluggish state, at previous quotations. Very few English Beans were brought for ward; but the supply of Foreign was good. Most kinds moved off slowly, at late ratee. Indian Corn and Meal were offering at reduced prices. There was rather more doing in Flour at last week's currencies. The nominal top price tithe best town-made was 40s per 280Ibs. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Their genetal con dition was, however, somewhat superior to those exhi bited for some weeks past. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering, the Beef trade ruled exceedingly inactive, at barely last Monday's quo tations. The top figure for the bvst Scots was 3s 10d per Sibs, at which a clearance was not effected. Flom Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,940 Scots end Short-horns ; from the Northern Counties 300 Short-horns ; and from other parts rf England, 750 Herefords, Runts, Devons, ke. The Scotch supply was only 120 head. Comparatively speaking, the number of Sheep were small. As the qrrivals of dead meat up to Nevagate and Leadenhall have fallen off. the Mutton trade ruled steady, at Fri day's improvement in value of 2d per Blbs.

BAGSHAWE V. MACNEM-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which came before him upon apreal from the decision of the Vice Chancellor Wigram. 'The' ar guments were concluded on Saturday. The bill was tiled f a. the specific performance of a contract to disilose of the interest a certain parties in land, to be reclaiMed . from the ses, at Lough Swilly, in the north of Ireland. A reference was directed to th• Master to inquire whe ther the vendors had a good title under the Act of Ifar• liament which authorissd the undertaking. The Ma s ter held that there was not a good title, and the Vice-Chan cellor that there was. The Lord Chancellor held that there was a good title to the lands that had been drained, and directed the tarty to be put in possessiori of them, but ordered a further rtfcrence to the Master in other respects. PADDURY V. CLARKE. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal were then resumed and occupied the Court the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. Jus tice WIGHTMAN and a Common Jury.) HOSICINS V. MADDOX. This was an action brought by Mr. William Hoskins, the husband of Mrs. Hoskins, brmerly known as Miss Harland before her marriage, an actress at the Princess's Theatre, to recover a certain amount of salary alleged to be due to his wife from Mr. Maddox, the lessee of the theatre, for theatrical services under an agreement made between the parties. Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Macaulay were counsel for the plaintiff; and the defendant was represented by Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Wii mere. It appeared that in September, 1848, an agreement was made between the plaintiff and the defendant, undcr which the plaintiff's wife, by her name of Miss Harland, was engaged "as prima donn a to play in all musical pieces, not being burlesque," from the autumn of 1848 during the then forthcoming season ending in May 1849, at a salary of five guineas a week. To the plaintiff's wife-the def ndant assigned the part of Wilhelminn in The Waterman, which she played for some time, when the defendant thought fi t to take that part feom her and to assign it to Misa Emma Stanley. A breach, there fore, took place between the plaintiff and the defendant, the plaintiff's wife refusing to play at the theatre in cer tain parts which Mr. Maddox wished her to take. The present action was brought to recover six weeks of un paid salary, at 5/. a week. Miss Emma Stanley was called for the plaintiff. She said—l was engaged last year et the Princess's Theatre. Mrs. Hoskins was also engaged at the theatre. I know the musical farce of The Waterman, of which Wilhel mina iethe principal Fart. I have performed that part myself. Miss H ar l and, the plaintiff's wife, took the part of Wilhelmina, Wh en she became the prima donna at the theatre. After Miss Harland had played for some time in that part last season, it was taken from her, and as signed to me. Mr. Maddox is the proprietor of the theatre. I remember on one occasion, in April, being asked to give up the part. When a part is taken trove a performer, and he is afterwards asked to take it again. it is usual to give him notice of his being reinstated. On the 17th April I s aw Mi ss Ha r la n d ad vert i se d t o play Wilhelmina in the bills of the day; and I was to perform at the theatre that evening in an after-piece. I was requested by the defendant to be at the theatre early, but I was not told for what purpose. I was there previous to The Waterman beginning to be played. I saw Miss Harland there, dressed to play the part of Wilhelmina. I was afterwards requested by Mr. Mad dox to perform the part. In consequence of the singing being taken out of the part Miss Harland had refused to play th e part, and Mr. Maddox asked me to play the part at th e last moment. (Shown the agreement be tween the parties.) That is signed by the plaintiff and the defendant. It was not a part which a prima donna ought to play, when the music is cut our. I performed this part with the music, whan I was asked by Mr. Mad dox to play in it. Cross - examined—I sang one song in the part; but I once played it at the theatre for Mr. Templeton's bene fit, introducing the original song. On the night in ques tion, when I played it for Mr. Maddox, I sang the (mg. 4, I'll be no submissive wife"—(Laughter)—which was originally written for a farce for Madame Vestris. believe Miss Harland is now playing at the Grecian S e _ loon. On the night in question, I had a very long and hiborious part in another piece besides The Waterman. I don't know what is to be played on a particular day except by the bills of the day. ' Re-examined—lt is always the etiquette of th e theatres that v.hen once a part is taken from an acior and afterwards restored ti hini, that he has notice of the fact. Mr. Jsmes Fenton—ln 1849 I was pro m pt er at the Princess's. I remem b er w h oa Miss Harland's name was put in the bill s t o pl a y the part (f Wilh elmina. There was no novice sen t to Miss flatland that t•tle was to be advertised for Wilhelmins. On th e li t h of April (the night i n quest i on ) I received a letter from Miss Harland, about hair an hour before the tht atre opened, which I gave to Mr. Maddox. Miss Harland, I w as ir formed, came to the theatre that evening dressed for the part of Wilhelmina. I saw Mr- Maddox at the theatre that evening. Miss -Harland did not rerfmn in the part, and I entered the fact in a book, called the time-book. The entry was as follows: "Miss Julia refused to go on in The Waterman unless she sang, and left the theatre." I never knew th e part of Wilhelmina pl a y e d w ithout music, and I have known the piece for the last forty years. Cross -examined—Unfortunately, I was born in the theatrical profession. The prima donna is the lady who plays the first part in the grand opera. Any prima donna could not be called on as a matter of right to play the Owilo to the boisterous weather, the imports o, foreign F. t:tor's lest week were small, viz., 74 t in-. torn Dunkirk, 280 from!

MONDA Y FEBRUAR first part in The Waterman; but they might do so as a matter of courtesy. [Here both his Lordship and the Learned Counsel complained of the intense cold which was suddenly felt, occasioned, as it mas believed, by a blast of cold air having been thrown into the court by the party hav ing charge of its ventilation.] Mr. Sergeant WILKINS (adverting to the cold) said, The only thing we regret, my Lord, is that we have not the Reid hero to be shaken by his own wind.---(Loud lati,?hter.) Mr. Fenton resumed—Did not know that Miss Har land was a lady of considerable personal attractions; he left others to judge of the t.—(Laughter.) William Stokes, the call-boy at the theatre, proved Chet on the night in question, when Miss Harlard refused to play, he eelivered a message from either Mr. )110- dox or Mr. Fenton to Miss Harland that the music si as taken out of the part of Wilhelmina, and that she consequently refused t i appear in the part. Miss Julia Murray —I am an actress. I was at Sadler's Wells Theatre on the afternoon t f the 17th April last, and saw the plaintiff there. I had previously seen the name of Miss Harland in the bills of the Princess's Theatre tLat day to play 'Wilhelmina. Mr, Hoskins seemed very much astoaistied at that comma. nication. Mr. Frederick Mellon—l am an actor. I saw Mr. Hoskins on the day Miss Harland was to play Wilhrlreina at the Princess's, and accomi anied him to his house, when Mr. Hoskins told his wife she was to oppear in the part at the Princess's that night, the part of Wilhelmina. She was very much surprised, and then wrote a note to Mr. Maddox. Cross— rxamined—The plaintiff's wife is the daughter of Henry Wallack. She some years ago played Kitty in the farce of Shocking Events, at Sadler's Wells. Mr. B.UMPHREY thought it a shocking event that she should have done so—(Laughter)—but could not per ceive how that could affect the matter in issue. His LORDSHIP was of the Same opinion. Mr. Richard Marsh—l am a performer. My theatrical name is Henry Marston. I call the Waterman a musical farce. I never knew the part cf Wilhelmina in it played without music—l mean without Wilhelmina singing in the part. Cross-examined —Believed when a new song was sub stituted for an old one in a piece, such new song was previously submitted to the revision of the Lord Cham berlain. Had known the " Marseillaise" introduced into a piece without the Lord Chamberlain being consulted. Miss llalkett Rafter—l am a prima donna. I have never played Wilhelmina in the Waterman, but it has been played by many prima donnas. I never knew it played without the music; certainly by no lady of posi tion. lam now prima donna at Drury-lane. Cross-examined—There was no grand opera played at Drury-lane at present. I have played in musical pieces at Drury.lane this season. I have played in Bob Roy three times this season, and the musical part in the Merchant of Venice. Guy Mannering has not been played at the theatre this season, but it has been in re hearsal, and I took the part of Diana Vernon. :[(The case was proceeding when our report left.) BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A respectably attired young man, whose name did not ,ranspire, was charged with creating a disturbance in Parliament-street. The police-constable who had him in custody stated that between one and two o'clock this morning he was on duty in Parliament-street, when he observed the prisoner knocking violently at a public-house door, and upon asking him what hes wanted, the prisoner replied, "a night's lodging." He made a great noise, and being rather the worse for liquor, he was taken to the station, having refused to go home. At the station he broke the lock off the cell door. Mr. HALL—What are you? Prisoner—l am no trade. lam independent. Mr.llAnn—What have you to say to the charge? Pri soner—l was knocking for a friend with whom I had been drinking, but I was not drunk. Mr. HALL fined him 40s. or eight days' imprisonment. The fine was paid. A lad named Williams was charged with picking a gentleman's pocket of a silk hankerchief. The offence was committed on Sunday, between one and two, in the Strand. The prisoner way, however, not caught in the act, but he was seen to drop the hand kerchief; and before ho could escape he was in the cus tody of a policeman. At the station he gave his age as 10 years Mr. HALL now asked him how old he was, and he re plied 15. When he said he was 10 years he had for gotten that he was older. The officer stated that he had been in custody before for stealing a jar cf pickles. Be was then sentenced to three days' imprisonment with a private whipping. Mr. HALL observed that the latter part of the sentence accounted for his now changing his age. Whipping was a punishment inflicted on offenders under 12 3 ears. The prisoner admitted the offence, but said he would not do it again if he was let off this time. He was fully committed for trial. MARLBRO*-STREET-(THIS DAY.) POT STEALING.—lienr , y Clark was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing two pint pots, the property of Mr. John Wyatt, landlord of the Matquis of Granby, Brick-street. Saunders, 70 C, stated that yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, he was on duty in Park-lane, when ho saw the prisoner, whom he knew to be a notorious pot stealer, coming towards him with something bulky sticking from his breeches► pocket. On catching eight cf witutss the prisoner ran away into St. Jameb':..-parlr. Witness followed him and took him into custody, and on searching him he found the two pots produced in his coat pocket. He subsequently went to Mr. Wyatt, who identified the pots as his property. The prisoner, in defence, said he saw tho pots lying in the middle of the road, and he picked them up for the purpose I f conveying them to the owner. Mr. BINGHAM, who doubted the prisoner's tale, com mitted him fur trial. 11, 1860 TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. WLdnesclity the 6th two votes connected with one and the same subject took place, which pos sess importance, and may usefully be explained. On a motion for a Select Committee to inquire into grievances in Ceylon, Mr. D'lsraeli moved an Amend ment by which the House should "express its disap probation of the manner in which her Majesty's Government have evaded the understanding of last session " for the production of witnesses. Mr. Bright took the lead in stating, that the question had not been brought to a point where it was proper to ask for a vote of censure on the Government; and the Liberals in general followed him, leaving the Amend ment in a minority cf 68 against 140. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Hume proposed to add to the original question a summons to witnesses froth Ceylon to attend the said Committee, and the motion was only lost by 100 against 109. A sufficiently significant warning that there is a freling on the general subject which it is wisdom to attend to. On Thursday motion was made by Mr. M`Gregor for forming the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, and Hammersmith, into a Parliamentary borough, to return two Members to Parliament, to fill up the vacancy caused by the disfranchisement of Sudbury. Nobody can tell whether the opposition to it was serious, or meant for a sportive imitation of a classical composition known under the title of the "Noodle's Oration." If Kensington, &c., why not Knightsbridge ; and if Knightsbridge were admitted, why not T u r n h am G reen ? And were the people of Kensington, & c ., suc h as i t was most desirable to ad mit into the representatio n ; were they of the caste of man, &hundred and twenty thousand of whom ought to be-Omitted to the same power in Parliament as three hundred in an agricultural borough ? Were they not , notoriously men g i ven to " pribbles and prabhles,' much in the habit of discussing in parish meetings, and presenting anything but a guarantee for the preservation of " order " and good govern ment ? There is no answering such reasons but by falling back upon the general question. The time cannot be far off, when it will 1:e discovered that a man is a man, and as such has a right to be represented, with • out leaving to some mysterious tribunal to decide whether twenty Members of his sending shall count for one, or fifty, or ten. The question may, if chosen, be separated from that of the extension of the suffrage. Assume any criterion of suffrage that may be named; and the question is, whether after that, the representatives are to be classed by twenties-, or fifties, or tens, to balance one of some favoured kind. In all this, who is to be Grand Regulator ? Perhaps we shall be told, it must be those who at present have the power. It may be so; but this is only a reason why means should be used to snake those who have the power, reform. On Friday Lord John Russell made his declaration on the intended colonial policy of the Government. If words are things, it is impossible that such a speech should not have weighty results ; for even if they were not intended to be true, no man could get out of such words and their consequences. It was not possible to hear such an address, without at all events a lively feeling of the distance to which we have got from the old days of cant and prejudice, when nations were governed by the tinkling cymbals of party cries and national sillinesses. Not a word of British Supremacy, nor Colonial Dependency, nor the Anglo-Saxon race. "Mr. Mother-Country " must have been in despair, at hearing a discourse from a Minister so stripped of all he had held dear. It is not too much to believe, that we may have here the commencement or the marked advance of a system, ending in making this country the source and origin of free communities, which shall hold its name in re spect, though time and change should even obliterate the soil men called the father-land. The colonies are to have representative constitu tions, with limitations and deductions in some few instances, which it is difficult to quarrel with when there is such a great disengagement of good upon the whole. And they are, moreover, to have the power of altering their constitutions under certain rules, if the present do not work. One point which will be highly interesting to many within this country is, that it is to be constitutional law in all the colonies, that the aborigines are to be "True born Englishmen," as fast as they comply with cer tain provisions, the principal of which are understood to be, that they shall read and write English and have a house. The declaration of the Government on this subject, in reply to question asked, was made with clearness and good-will. There is some thing more magnificent in this than ordinarily illu mines the routine of public business. England stretches out her hand, to be the guide to the less favoured portions of the human kind, without distinc tion of complexion, form, or race, in moving from the ills of barbarous to the blessings of civilized life, as herself was led when her tattooed and painted sons were taught to emulate the sciences and arts of Rome. It may be that more hangs by this than meets the eye. What if the struggle for and against the permission of Slavery, should within the life-time of our children he the turning-point of England's politi cal existence ? Are we not daily outraging the insti- ' stations of a strong and growing country, which knows no good but Slavery, and feels the " Slaves cannot breathe in England" a standing inva sion of its hearths and homes ? And have not the descendants of our negro-drivers promised, within the duration of existing lives, to have fifty thousand men drawn up behind the Horse Guards, and shift the flag at Windsor Castle ? Of course the first stipulation for peace would be, the legalisation of Slavery in England, and particularly in Ireland, where the peasantry are getting ready for the latest born of modern philosophy the " beneficent whip." Greater things have grown out of less cause. In the meantime, go we on ; and God be with the right. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER London, 11th Feb., 1850. NO."

Pargeter and Darby, in reference to which an. inquiry was commenced on Friday before the coroner. The circumstances of the explosion are somewhat singular, and may O be attributed to the effects of the hurricane of Tuesday . The pit i s 1 20 yards deep, and below the coal is night an iron mine, one engine working both mines , there being a separate shaft for each, though the are connected wi t h each other below the surface. y A skip was descending. the coal abaft at the time of the explosion, and was hurled out to an extraordinary of it falli ng at a di sta nce height in th e air by ance th someexplosion, soe portions o f one h un d red yards f rom th e mouth of the pit. In co it of the' rush of th e f oul air from the pit it w uence as some time before any person could descend into the mine. lt should be explained that are ventilated in connexion, an o pening bei ng mad the tw o m i nes e between them by which the fresh air was passed from the coal mine into the iron mine, and then passed outward. The explosion had by some un accountable process of nature reversed these cur rents of air, and this being discovered, an intrepid fellow, named John Webb, descended the zron shaft, and climbing into the coal, mine, w i t h a in his band, was t h e instrument of ed i s s t a av safetyt i e ng of f s a several au u s n t f i o o r n tun il a l te th m e in p e i r t s . w o h th o er w ees roan : :: Webb, and the miners were got out before midnight, though four of them—named Joseph Warwick, a youth named Griffiths (son of the superintendent, who was also in the mine, and was blown some dis tance), and two brothers named Webster7—were killed. Most of the men (fourteen in number) who survived were burnt ; Griffiths, the sitpe n . tendent, has . r ece i ve d some very serious injurriies, and is in a precarious state. The cause of the acei dent can only be surmised, though it is pretty clearly traceable to the effect of the high south-west wind of Tuesday evening. The workings of the mine extend in a southerly direction from the shaft, and it is thought that the fire commenced about midway be. tween the shaft and the head of the workings, near a " bolt hole" leading to an old working now dammed off, where an inequality in the roof of the mine would allow of some little accumulation of the vayour, undeteeted. The pit is occasionally liable to be - eketried with sulphur; some bur or five years ago eleven men were killed in it by a similar exp l os i on. It appears that when the wind is in a southerly direction, or shortly before a fall of rain, sulphur accumulates in the pit, and then safety lamps are used, though at other times the miners work with naked lights, and this was the case wile; the explosion took place. It is supposed that the high wind disturbed the foul air from some branches of old workings, supposed to be securely dammed up, and thus escaping to the place were the men 'were at work with naked c an dl es th e exp l osion took ebpee. BALLOONS FOR THE CONVEY. ANCE OF INTELLIGBNCE. TO THE EDITOR OF 2hE stay. SlR,—Can you furnish such of your readers in. terested in the recent balloon experiments with some particulars as to the size of the balloons, the material of which they were made, and kind of varnish used ; the weight of a balloon in its flaccid state, and ita available buoyancy when inflated ; the means of in flation, and weight of gas : also the means of infla den proposed to be adopted in the Arctic regions, the sort of slow match used, its weight per yard, and rata of burning ? 'Would it not be well to set the balloons free from an open field, and under a condition of a strong breeze of a velocity of at least SI een miles per hour? The balloons in a flaccid state could be taken to a conve nient station and there be inflated under the lee of a canvass screen; the gas for their inflation could be conveyed in a gas-holder, a large bag of some .two hundred cubic feet, rendered air tight by a suitable varnish (perhaps gutta percha would be found to answer well); the gas can be condensed, so that a large quantity may be conveyed in a compact form I am, Sir, &c.

NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The directors of this company have just issued their half-yearly re port, which will he srnbmitted to the shareholders at the general half-yearly meeting, at Skipton, on Wednesday next. This document states that thirty nine miles of the line are now open for traffic, and that the directors have every reason to believe that the en tire line from Skipton to Lancaster will be opened in the first week in June next. The arrt ars on calls have been reduced since the last half-yearly meeting by 16.0004 The Isurplus land of the company is to be offered for sale at the earliest opportunity. The traffic on this lino being in a greet measure dependent on two trunk liner, punctuality and certainty in the working are most essential, and to ensure this the directors strongly recommend the laying down of a double line of rails from Skipton to Clapham, at a further outlay cf 45,000/. It is proposed to borrow this amount, the directors being prepared to do so on their own personal security, provided the shareholders will empower them to make further calls on the old shares, should it become necessary to do so, in order to repay their loans. Only 8,446 shares of the preference stock have been taken, and as the directors hope to borrow money at a lower rate, it is now proposed to restrict the issue to this number of preference shares. The capital account shows an expenditure, up to the 31st December, 1849, of 760,916/. 113 s. W.
