Sin,—The usually' quiet town of Doncistee has already commenced its annual scene of bustle and excitement. 'another Great St. Leger is about to be decided which will settle the hopes and fears of thousands; but, in ad dition to the Sr. 'Leger, there are many race's of great importance to take place during the tour days of the meeting which cestimenceato s morrow. The first race on the list - which has closed is the Champagne Stakes for twcaYear olds. This r.sce always • proves of great interest, as it generally throws some light on the following Derby. A good field may be ex pected, and should the Venus filly be herself again I ex pact to see her the - winner, with the best of John Scott's and Hippolytus close up. The - Great Yorkshire Handicap will, I think, bring a raid of about a dozen to:thepost. I shall not. attempt to go through the merits of each animal, but at once say that I expect the race will lie between Stronghow, Mark Tapley, and the Jaggier; .in the order named , with Haricet as a coeleboau Priestess I do not expect will be wanted, or I should prefer her to anything in the race. ,Clothworker's .starting is also very doubtful, but • should the stewards - decide in his favour he must be dangerous. • I shall now pass on to the .St. Leger, which is run on Wednesday. Voltlgeur heath the list of favouritesiand deservedly so, for who tan Target his easy triumph in the Derby, and had he no Other 'horses to meet but the ones he beat on that , occasion- I should consider the race (siert but I cannot bringonYself to believe that the lot then behind Voltigeur, were of the average quar.ity. viiill give one illustratione—Pitsford, the second to Vol tigeur, was afterwards at Goodwood actually beaten by ; William the Conqaeror, although,- as your reacle.fs are 'aware, the, stakes were awarded to the former. William child scarcely at York manage to • beat Mark Ts pley, and had the latter beet inado more use of there .is no doubt he would have won: •Pitsford at the same meeting managed to beat Cyprus' and The Swede, but not without difficulty, and it was - notorious that Cyprus was any thing but.fit, and the-exhibition The Swede made in his rice with Little Jack the following week do not prove Pitsford to be a good horse. 1 therefore cannot but conclude that all the, horsei behind Voltigeur in the Derby were moderate." , • Windischgratz did ;note happen to be pitted against Voltigcur in the Derby-7ho has been wanted twice , this year , on each occasion ho won in the com monest of ean tera,,beating large and gcod fields. The party coneetaed with him are about the cleierest on the turf, and very seldom make a mistake—they have tried him to be an extraordinary horse,' and have backed him for an im rnense stake. He, e: id 'lake a deal of beating. Bechunter is a remarkably line horse, and has always E een a favourite with tbe public; but I do not think Beebunter quite geed enough to win. • Cyprus was anything but fit at York—be looked ca pable of a 101 b. improvement; it he has benefited to that extent, I expect to see him turn the tables on Pitsfard; • but the market seems very•quiet about him. Chatterbox, an importation from the rister countr y , • -has been backed, freely at an outside price. I expect: he • will turn out the best of the Irish division. Ihe remainder:of the field is likely to be made up of the f o llowing:—Bessborough , Marchioness d'Eu, Bo lingbroke, and Mildew ; „I do not think the winner Will . spring from this lot, but . Mildew I think has - the best chance. To conclude; I °war:else:4 expect that the race will be between Vultigellr and Vindisehgratz, and a right gallant contest I fancy it ;Ain be. It is a difficult tusk to select b,theen thew, but I fancy Windhchgratz will ju,t do the trick; I theietore expect to sec the race term initiate thus— , - • • WINDISCFIGRATZ ... • ... • 1 • VOLTIGEInte: . 2 • PI ortYPRUS ... 3 The SwespstakeinL 2.0 seva. each, on Thursday, will be another intere,stingrace, for two-year olds.

We find by the Staffordhire papers that a series of fatal accidents occurred in the collieries of that county in the course of last week. At Bilstoni . on Saturday, a collier got into thuskip for the pOrpose of descend lig,a pit, to repair the pump; but the engine bring ut of gear at the time, his weight Caused the skip to descend the shaft with him, at a fearful velocity, and .the vvhole length of the chain (200 yards) fell upon hire. As a matter of course, he was instantly .kilted. Tbe7same day an inquest was held at the Duke of Cork, Darlaston, on the body of William Hughes, 4bout 48 yews of age, who was killed on the previous right, by a fall of coal, in one of Mr: Bagiial's pits, at llUoxley: A verdict of accidental death was returned. Also on the same' day a collier, name 'John Law fence 24 years of age, was so seriously injured by the fall of a piece of clod in Mr. Williams's pit, near " reet's-green, that he died in the course of the even " g. Another accident, of a most distressing nature, Moak place also on Saturday, in a' pitat Greet's:green, hrthe same parish, belonging to Mr. Richard Haines. The men had finished for the day, and were assembled 011ie bottom of the shaft, for the purpose of being drawn up,• when a lad named Joseph Burrows caught hold of the hook attached to the pit rope; and began in-swing himself upon it. Stiddenly the engine was ad a-going, and the poor lad, not having the presence of mind to loose bis hold, or being unable to do so (as he said he could not, in answer to the advice of a iiiner named Joseph Smith), was carried up the shaft for fifty or sixty yards, but at last 'he. fell, and was instantly deprived of life. Wednesbury was the scene ef-an accident, under still more distressing circum stances, to a collier named Thomas - Atkins, 38 years Of age: He was employed' in a ' pit - belonging to Alr. Thomas Walker, and was at work' on Saturday 4vening, along with two men and a boys They had been - engaged in putting up some doors to be used for iromoting a current of air in' the pit, so that the 4urphur, which existed in considerable quantities, Might be carried out of the workings, and the de ceased persisted in going' further along the pit than Henry Mason, a fellow-workman, ' considered to be safe. Mason accompanied him for same time, but the sulphur 'became so overpowering that he drew back, and advised the deceased to do the same.' In a moment or:two, however, deceased called ant, "Henry, I'm down," and on Mason trying to reach him he also fell, but managed to crawl back an his bands and knees. The other man came to the rescue, and was Likewise overpoWered by the sulphur; but Mason went towards him on all fours, and succeeded in dragging him:nearer the bottom of the shaft, where the air was comparatively pure. Assistance was obtained from the pit bank,.and a man named Eli Fletcher, having had a rope attached .to his waist by way of precaution, at 'length managed to drag out the body of the unfor- ; tunate man Atkins.. He was quite dead. So that, altogether, five livei were sacrificed throUgh accidents Of different kinds. It is obserVal.le that none of the unfortunate men`perished through explosions.

HUDSON'S EVIDENCE AT YORK. i„ r 7,...,4- • When Mr. lits.:Lon kid left'the v>itn:ss-box, during a late remark Able aid at York, there was a move ment among the bir, many of whom hurried forward to congratul4e him u; -, -.n the manner in which he had passed throug,h the difficult and unsparing ordeal to which he hit'd just been subjected. The tone and ges tures of his friends told that a triumph bad ken gained, wi - ille his more immediate securers either .• found a differcut exi', or " Astonished stood and blank!" MR. As this scene wae going on outside the court, an acute and gifted Member of Par'lenient, .who re mained behind, ;andivlibse fame as. a senator is only equalled by his reputation as an' advocate, turning to those who stood near bine somewhat roughly, but forcibly, remarked—"dr. Hudson has sheken off a great deal of dist during these last two hours." We are jealous, as a Inetion, of the character and " good report" of our public men. We know that their biographies must=go some day. to make up our history. They,represent us in the eyes of foreigners; and we desire to see. none conspicuous who are, not respectable. We feel, too, that they who. are in high places should continue worthy of their good fortune, and . that their virtue Should be firmer in proportion, to their eminence. We are especially vigil,int about those Who have been raised by a rapid prosperity: and the concairenceeif unforee seen events. T.iken frOmiamOng the people, they are to a greater degree identified with the- people ; many entertain doubts as to how they-will 'demean them selves in their new poiition ; and many envy whom - . all are forced to applaud. When we add this consi-. deralioa to the eireturistancea of the times through which we-hare of lataay ears passed: — amongst other things, the wild' fever of spe c ulation which so dis turhed.the national mind, a n d- w hich his unusual slice , ' gess only tended toentourage--referring, too, as we Must do; many losses and much ruin to railway in vestments and expenditure--withbut beirg driven to assume that Mrs Madam is g ailty of all that his accusers allege, we may sufficiently account for the -fact that his condemnation' was sit) general and his fall so pre cipitate. His ptaition, when assailed, was extremely= critical ; it was no tiine•for a cool, trial; and it is not to be wondered at that evidence of alleged , miscon duct, which, two years 'before, might have been laughed to scorn—which would not have provoked a local inquiry—should have thing him from the height to which he had ,risen, find injured so deeply his public character. Nor'sheuld we feel much surprise that one whom the midst Of his success, and while hi 3 influence Was felt widely abroad, was pointed at as -an instance of what' good talents and great energy can accomplish-irea free country, should, at such a Commercial crisis; when every man was panic stricken, fall before an accusation of delinquency. But as withindividuals, so with us is • a nation — where we have acted most by impulse, we are most disposed to be afterwards forgiving—if we have in haste done a partial injury,' when prejudice and pas.; Sion, have cooled dawn, the reaction is as sure as the infliction was sudden, and all will listen to his vinali cotion whom many ,condemned -without a hearing. We have been led to make these observations from our attention haling been : called to a full report of Mr. Hudson's evidence on the trial'before referred to, and which has within the last few days issued from the press. We. make, them the more' cheerfully in this instance, because; eyes. ,opposed to Mr. Hudson in politics—having, often zeverely censured bim—per- Sonally wholly unacquainted with him, they will, we, believe, be received by our readers in the spirit in Which they arenffereda spirit of " fair play," arid, from a desire to ace done to every man, but especially to one whose name is . so connected with great public Undertakings, ample and impartial justice. ,We con fess, too, that, the explanations Mr. Hudson gave so recently upon.oath, and in a court of justice, of those, transactions 'which have drawn down upon him the greatest share of—discredit and blame, are calculated to pave the way for his regaining to a considerable extent the place in public confidence he seemed to. have lost so hopelessly. • One transaction, indeed, appeared hitherto so utterly disgraceful, that had 'its' truth been admitted, or had it been left tindisweied and no explanation offered, Mr. Hudson's ,character would have still remained Under a cloud which no sophistry could brighten, and no ingenuity could clear away. We allude to the, circumstances' connected with the contract for the supply of iron by Messrs. Thompson and Forman to the Newcastle and Berwick Railway Company. The charge ageinst*Mrallndson was, that the company, of which he was a director, requiring to purchase 20,000 tons of - iron; cognizant of this, and knowing that tenders must shortly be advertised for, he bought from the above'kentletnen professedly on his own ac count, but at the` - real risk of the company, 10,000 tons, at 6/. 101 thit when these gentlemen subse quently sent in their tender to supply the required qnantity at 121. per ton, Mr. Hudson being chairman it was accepted; that of these2o,ooo tons 7,000 were, as between him' anel .Igessrs. Thompson and Forman, treated by Mr. Hudson as his own.; and being " under the blind" of Messrs. Thompson and Foe man's name sold'to the company. He became thus a gainer to the amount of 38,000/. Such is the charge, and viewing it in its " naked d e formity," Mr. Hud son's conduct is :wh o ll y i nexcusa bl e . What is his answer ? It amounts, in effect to this :—" In October, 1844, the- Newcastle and Berwick Railway was a mere project. It had not yet gone before Parliament. It had immense opposition yet to surmount. In that month believing that iron would rise, because I fore saw a great and: comin g d eman d f or it, I thought it a good speculation. to purchase iron. I invited many friends to join me at the time. • Finally, I bought 10,000 tons of,MessrsiThompson and Furman, wholly On my own irdividtia account. I alone was respon sible to them, wbutever happened. In March, 1845, the Bill, fur the first time, went before Parliament. The company then ad vert i se d f or •tenders. • I had bought at 6/. 103. and upwa id s . Meanwhile, iron had risen to, 121. 10s. and u pwards in the market. Messrs. Thompson and F orman 's t en der was accepted. They supplied 20,00Catons, of which 7,000 tons were a portion of my-purchase. I gained nothing by sell ing it to this Company. .Others .would have bought it; Messrs. Crawshay offered me 50, 000 /. for my bargain." Were the co mpany l o sers ? No. Was the price above the 'market price ? No. Was it bought in the name, or on account, or at the will of the company ? No. If iron fell, who would be the loser ? Mr. Hudson. - 'l ron h av ing risen in price, and MreHudson ha v i ng ma d e a pro fit, what was his crime ? That he did not _make the company a pre sent of 38,000/. :' We have not.space to notice this evidence further. We have said enough, if we have, as far as lay with us, provoked a dispositi on f or a more calm and ha partial examination o f th e c h arges against Mr. ud sor. Our aim is not to vindicate him—we do not seek to be his apologists —but a public journalist as sumes no unbecoming attitude when an effort is made to secure a fair and patient hearing for one who was condemned almost unheard. Often of necessity the advocates of a party, we may sometimes' of choice prove the minister of justice. Audialtergnt por tent," is a heathen precept, but should not a Christian practise it ? If further inquiry into Mr. Hudson's conduct leads to clearer proof of his criminality, it is w e ll_ 'his sentence will be more severe, and the pause we have recommended 'in public opinion would he fol loosed by his more indignant condemnation. But if —and " charity hopeth all things",--further inquiry 'tends to restore him, even partially to public favouc, it is better—forjhen at least dishonour and disgrace will not for ever attach. to a man whose 'name must ur go down .to future ages associated. with some of th e greatest and most _ending menuments o f B r iti s h art and genius which .Enland in h er palmiest. d33,s has exhibited, to the world., RAIL WA Yi INTE LLIGENCE. SOUTH StAFFOIII)SIIIRE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was h e m 'at Walsall, on Saturday ; Mr. R. C. C hawner presidtd. A report, of which - the followin g is an abst rac t, was . , . read:— The directors 'stated that they had, in pursuance of ' the powers contained in t he ir last Act'ol Parliament, reduced the number of - directors to ' twelve. The du ties of that •boSrd were no w resolved into those o f closing the capiNlacc account, and maintaining the p er .; manency of the line and . works ill' the occupati on o f the Imee from the .

GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND GREENOCK. In the report of the committee of investigation on the affairs of this company it is'stated that Mr. Lang, the London law agent, had received A'bout 1.5,000/. for his services from May, 1843, to October, 1849. This Mr. Lang states is incorrect, because 10,6501. of it consisted of outlay for the coMpany, and towards which he received 9,505/. in cash, being 1,145/. less than his actual outlay. During the same period he received from the company 5,1751: in bonds, shares, and credits for calls; the' bonds and shares, although at a heavy discount at the time; were taken by him at par. The result therefore is that, during the fast eight years, his only remuneration frmn the company has been a balance in bonds and share., which taken at par would amount to 4,030/. THE SVILVIIRINE TELEGRAPH. DOVER SEPT. 15.—Since the sinking of the first , . wire circumstances have occurred calcumted for a short time to retard the carrying out the project to com pletion, seeing that, in order to thecomplete eitablish ment of an integral line of telegraphic service between London, Paris, and the Continent, the promoters have to obtain a grant from the French - Government of the 18 miles of line extending from the coast to Calais, from which point to Paris the . wires are erected. To secure that concession of this section, in- the way or which some difficulties present themselves ' Messrs. Brett, Wollaston, and Edwards, directors of the un dertaking, are now at Paris, awaiting. the return of the President of the, Republic, who granted the ori ginal decree, and to negotiate with the Government authorities en the subject. In th . e meantime experience of the experiments al ready made goes to prove that a stronger species of telegraphic tackle will be required.- 'By the terms of Contract with the French Government it was enacted that the Government does not reserve to itself the right of making any similar concession,"•but " that in case the experiment shall not regnit in a favourable ixecution by the Ist September,_l . Bso, the right con- eded will revert to the French bovernment.' Con icquent on the conditions laid down in the contract the promoters successfully submerged the wire ; but, as' s well known, it was subsequently cut asunder by some rocks on the French coast. Since this happened divers have been down, and on examination it has been found that where the rupture Of the coil occurred it had rested on "a very sharp iidge of rocks, about a mile out from Cape Grinea, so that the leaders weights, hanging' pannier like on either side, in conjunction with the ,swaying of the water, caused it to part at that point, - while at another place in shore the shingle from the beach had the effect of detaching the coil from 'the leaden conductor that carried it up the Cape. The wire in its gotta percha coating was consequently cut in two pieces, representing a remnant of ;sire, of. 'about 400 yards Which was allowed to drift away, till it came into the possession of a fisherman at Bonlogne, who made a demand of 60f. for the injury he alleges it did to his iiets. Complaints are made by - the fishermen, both On the English and French cobsts, that the existence of the wire will interfere with their deep-sea fishing, and that its track over the Varne and elsewhere is in the way of places Most frequented by fish: It is in tended; however, at the suggestion cf Mr. J. W. Brett, to pay these .people an annual rental and to establish for their familes a 'philanthropic fund, to inddce them to unite in the protection Of a great na tional enterprise. The assistance - of the Admiralty has also been secured for the issue of prohibitory or ders against fishing on the route of the electric sea line, and against ships dropping or drag ging anchors over its site. The authorities 9f Calais and Bologne have intimated that they will send drummers round the town to advie fish - 4nen not to fish on these spots, and the company will apply for powers to punish as a misdenianour any attempts it injuring the wire. The line of wire where it was dislocated is now securely fastened on to the end of a large buoy. Her Majesty's ship Widgeon, with Cap tain Bullock, has traversed the rest of the track, fish ing Up at intervals the whole of the sunk wire out of I.ooft. and 150 ft. of water, and laying it down again, thus proving that it has not drifted, and that there were no currents to remove it. The promoters of the project appear to be fully ap prehensive of the inadequacy or the present arrange ment.; and all their ingenuity is :it work to be pre pared to meet the emergency. Of Currents it may be stated that there is no fear, since it has been ascertained that at certain fixed fathoms, even in the rapids of the Misiissipi or at the Menai, there are none below three or four fathoms, and that at, five fathoms there is calm water. In order to meet all existing or con jectured difficulty the character of the undertaking, so far as its "magnitude and solidity areCoricerned, will now be altered. The electric wire, thin as a lady's taylace in itself, mill now be encased`either in a 5 or . 6,10-inch cable of the diameter of those that placed the Britannia tubes in position, and: these will be submerged by the aid of enormous weights. The wire Will be embedded in this gigantic coil or cable, com- Posed of what is'called whipped plait with wire rope, all of ifchymically prepared, so as to protect it from rot; and kyanised ; the whole to be chained down, as It were, as the rails are on rail Ways, by the gravita tion of the huge weights in the bottom of the sea. • THE MOORS. On the Dallas shootings two hundred brace of rouse were bagged in four days, by Mr. Curwen, , Ir. North, and a friend. At Ctilduthel, Major Inglis i• brace of grouse and ten brae?. of black g ame i n bee day. Mr. Ll o yd an d Mr. Vivian have bagged 116 brace at Aberarder. On the 31 instant, the Master of Lovat shot, at Kilmorack, fifteen brace of grouse, one red deer, and two roe, the latter right and left shots. In, the forest of Glenstrathfarer, Lord Lovat fitalked and shot, in four days, four heavy stags, all With royal heads, and a fifth with nine antlers. On 1 Saturday, Captain Inge kilted a pair of Very fine fat stags, one shot each, right and left. On Wednesday,. last week, the Earl of Leicester shot a fine stag with seven points. A, fine woodcock was killed on the 24th of August ' at Lochaber by Mr. Stephen Blair, M.P. for Bolton. We learn that. Mr. T. B.

THE EARL OF CLARENDON IN BELFAST.. The Lord-Lieutenant of 'lreland is at present en gaged in making a progress , through the province of Ulster, and lon Thursday he arrived at Belfast. In narratino , the visit of his Excellency to the Linen-' hall, the Belfast commercial ehronicle thui speaks of the prospect of the linen trade of Belfast : A grand experiment is, now being made, which promises to issue in national advantswes to an extent which it would be difficult to estimate—the present fair occupant of the, British throne has dispelled .the ,illusion which has hitherto influenced the monarchs of England---.-that,to emerge from the seclusion of a palace, diminished the respect of the people for:the regal office, and their veneration for the highest per sonage in the realm: 'Royalty has - seldom descended to the platform of real life, save to review fleets and armies, to' open and dissolve Senates; now there is' royal recognition Intl patron'age of science, arts, and commerce, the great interested the people as per. sonally inspected, by the Sovereign, or her represen tative, and royal favour gives an impulse to, genius and enterprise. We fully concur iu ,the sentiments of Hume in his " Essay on Citil.Liberty;" he ref Marks—" It - may now be 'affirmed of civilized Mo narchies, what was formerly said in France of Repub lies alone, that they are a gobernment of laws and ' fiat of men. They are formed of order, method, and constancy, td a surprising degree —property is there sacred, industry encouraged, the arts flourish, and the' Princelives secure aniong his subjects .like a father among his children." - _ The, memorable visit °filer Mkjesty. to her Trish dominions, we are persuaded, proved not only a power ful stimulus to the, development of the national genius and energy, .but did more to unite the affections of the people to the Mitiih Crown, to strengthen the ties of the international: union, allay dikontent, and predicate faction,, than the labours of the senate and the efforts of the most eminent:statesmen have been able to 'effect during the years of perplexed and baffled successive administrations. We rejoice to find. the Irish cxectitive are .dc;terrnined to carry out the enlarged and _beneiolent policy of the Crown, and . that her Majesty's representative, the, Lord-Lieu tenant of Ireland, with the view of giving efficacy to the noble' designs of his Royal Alietres, visits the Capital cf Ulster to shed " reflected rays" on those great institutions , which give this province so proud a pre-eminence, and visit those great mercantile establishments which have placed the metropolis of Ulster alongside the largest commercial cities of the empire. Fully aware the linen trade of Ireland, the staple of the north, would engage a large share of his Excel lency's consideration, and knowing his anxiety fully to develupe the great capabilities of the island, to-in crease to an indefinite extent the. great arm of her pommerue, wo enjoyed the • anticipated triumph •of his Lordship's admiration of that splendid establish pent,-the Belfast White Linen Hall, and doubted not hii Excellency would participate in the feelings with: which her -Majesty the Queen was influenced when inspecting the magnificent establishment of Messrs. Sadler, Fenton ; and Co. So soon as it was officially announced that his Lordship would, on Thursday, immediately after receiving the address of the Mayor-, tlnd Corporation, •visit this , great emporium -of the linen trade .of Ireland,- the business of the house was held in abeyance,-•and the officials and operatives %ere employed in arranging the various fabrics; designed , for the home and foreign trade, so as to facilitate- the exhibition, and to afford to his Excellency every pos. Bible gratification. • • • Some idea may be 'formed of the extent of- this great establishment, when we state that it embraces about one- third of the quadrangle, and occupies two floors,'measuritig.about 517. feet, it is intersected by a vast number of arches, presenting several aspects of long and magnificent'arcades, and the presses being Painted blue, exhibit a chaste and eleg an t con t ras t t o the pure and beautiful blench of the linen ; there are four offices, in one of which her Majesty received two addresses on the'memorable occasion of her visit to the Hall in 1849, is memorial of which, underneath the portraits cf the. Queen and Prince Albert, is sus pended from - the wall, being the only commercial establishment in her Majesty's dominions which' bas' been so honoured: ' Whilst visiting the Linen Hall his Excellency re ceived an addrees from the Roial 'Flax Society, to which he made a most gracious reply. His subsequent visit to one of the manufacturing establishments of the city is thus described in the Belfast Commercial Chronicle : Immediately after ° receiving the address, of tlie Itoyal Irish Thu Society, Ms Excellency, surrounded by a brilliant staff, :and accompanied by the mayor and town clerk in their robes' the foreign consuls, the committee of the .Linen .Hall, the committee of the Royal, Irish Flax Society, and a vast number of the gentleineri of :the town and surrounding Country, 'walked aerosi'theqUadiangle of the ball, and entered door o f th e yarn esta b lishment of lessrs. l'enton and Co., where his Lordship was introduced into the private.office, where her Majesty received two addresses-on the-occasion of her visit in 1849. ilis Lordship , was received at the entrance by Mr. \Villiam Grogan '(in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Fenton in England), and conducted by that gentle man over the entire establishment, including the yarn and linen department of Messre. S. G: Fenton and , and the linen 'establishm en t of Messrs. Sadler, Fenton, and Co. His Excellency in the bri e f time w hich , could be devoted to the pur pose, examined most minutely the vrrious specimens both of yarn and linen submitted to his inspection,: and appeared particularly 'interested in the explana tions and information afforded by Mr. Grogan ;i in deed, the amazing 'variety and vast extent of this cele brated establishment must have deeply itnpressed his Eicellenty With the national importance Of 'the linen trade, and will doubtless tend more than ever to secure the patronage in every possible way, still further, to, develop . to the utmost possible extent the amazing capabilities of the country. On . his Lordship inquiring bow the . linen was procured, Mr. Grogan informed him that till within the last 25 years the bleachjrs purchased nearly all their linen in open market, where they were brought for sale. The farmer generally planting a small quart tity of fhx, the females of his family spinning it into yarn and his sons weaving it, thui in fact becoming a small Mantifiettirei . himself, but that at present_ .nearly- the entire supply was furnished by large manufacturers, Mr. Grogan appealing to the experi-: ,ence of. Mr. Sharman Crawford, who stood beside his Excellency, as_to the correctness of his statement. In passing through the assorting room his Lordship's attention was directed to the various styles of orna menting for foreign pial4etF, a large shipment being in course of` a prepartion. . On examining some cam bric bandkerchiefs,the manufactur e o f M r . M a l co lm of Lurgin, Mr: Grogan stated to his his ExCellency that for years. past the English Sh o pk ee p ers h a d .been sup plied with the low qualities of . this manufacture, which were able to furnish cheaper than the French.

THE' APPROA C fIIN G EXPLOSION AT SEAFORD. (Abiidg€dfrom tip DrigAton Herald.) vKater east of Seaford, take pla s e ,on Thursday . As the blo=wing up of the - cliff, to form parts a-bek onfexZakjidngilderl°Ltsearbee"Spepeecttaef4oll3 bt .Cstri ft e ; I ff C ° Ta ni e t' a l c l eour , of the wozks in their present state, add Of the locality, may not be unacceptable to the public. • A stringer,. if he intend to leave. London, as many scientific, men will do, to witness - the._explosion, have three routes to Seaford open, to him. He mar.: proceed to Hayward's Heath by the London and Brighton line, through Lewes, direct lo'Newhaven l.l by•line,; or he mar come to 13righttn;'ivhete he 'will have the choice of two routes; one alBng the cliffs, _ from Brighton to Newhaven, the digtance between *be two places that_ way being only about eight Or' rice miles; but the road is very hilly, at places close to the edge cf the cliffs, and at night very danger ous ; end on this road there are no vehicles, unless hired for the occasion. Since the formation of the railway this road is little frequented. The third route': is from Brighton by rail to Lewes, from whence the rail is continued to Newhaven. • • We understand: that a number of officers and men of the Artillery are expected from - Woolwich to wit ness the spectacle, and gentlemen residing in the" vicinity etpect visitors from Hastings, Dover, T un - , bridge Wells, & a . There 'no doubt but that the little obscure town of Seaford will' be quite astonished and enraptured at thus becoming suddenly a point of attraction from all parts of the kingdom. The distance—: we write for the information of per sons re'siding in London or eliewhere—from Brighton to Lewes, per rail, is eight miles ; frOm Lewes to Newhaven, seven ; making fifteen ; whereas the hilly `road from Brighton to Newhaven is only nine. The usual time. to - go per rail fromßrighton to Newhaven soniething under an botir ;- but as excursion trains, will probably be put on on this'Occasion, the distance may be done in a much less time. A sentinel, in reply to our' inquiry for the way;to the eiplOsion Works very civj,lly direclO us to pro.' reed by,a path • which bad been made' on the " fUll" of the beach. Thither we went, and soon found our., selves under some heavy sand cliffs. Zmerging to thce eastward of these. we had to creep along the beach close under vast cliffs of chalk (carbonate of lime-- pot like the cliffs on the other side of the Channel, 'which are limestime), the sea washing up- almost to One'. feekleaving at places barely room to walk lle-- kw,een the cliffs and water. The cliffs here are from 200 to 230 feet high. They are as white as snow;: interlaced with lines of black flint, generally running: longitndinally, but here and there vertically. Against.: these cliffs the beach, when the sea is rcugh apd thy;- tide is up, is thrown with extremeylolence, so that the face of the chalk'rock—and there are no " ruins" of chalk—is continually worn away, and when under mined at the bottom vast masses come tumbling down', from above. We had to proceed along the heavy beach for knaybe half a mile, and then 'we came to a large mound of chalk which had been thrown 'out of the allery of the works. Ascending the mound, we had next to mount a long flight of wooden stairs, and at last found ourselves in a cave of the cliff. On the Peach we had previously met Captain Froome sketch- ; ing the face of the cliffs. We informed him of the Object of our visit, and be immediately expressed a Wish to assist us in any way in his power, and he at - 'once proceeded to the cave. This is thirty-five feet'; 'above the level of the sea; and one of the great I difficulties- in the work was the formation of this'' cave. It bad to be cut at the above- Ilight in the face of the cliff. The-chalk is very hard, and when a . Fragment was dissevered, it fell- at'once, endangering the lives of those who cut it away as• well as of those below. An excavation—large enough- to contain a inan—was made at last, and increased till large lnough to hold al. - out twenty mtn; a colum n bekg ' eft in front- to support the chalk - above. The work now' -became comparatively - easy, though the labour was -very great; and the heatln the gallery ' Would have been 'intolerable, but that as soon as the excavation had been carried a cohsiderahle distance llnto 'the rock, a very simply-construated 'but effective ir-pump,' worked by hand, - was - employed. The whole of the works are under the - control of Sir John urgoyne, but under the immediate direction Of Cap tain Froome, whilst the voltaic batteries 'are managed" ` by Mr. Ward. The cave, we have said, is 3 feet above the level of the sea. At the back of the en'e the great gallery commences; and - gradually ascends for 70 feet into the rock. At the extremity of this, the•great gallery e---here 60 feet above the sea—through which you 'walk in an upright position, two other galleries bran c h bff—one on the right hand the other on the left—so that this portion of the works resembles a capital T. These branch galleries are neither so wide nor BO high as the great one,' so that, in going to the ex tremities of either you are cautioned to stoop, or you may bump your head harder than would bo agree able against the rock above. At the extremity of tither of these side branches the visitor will find him self in ,another cave, about a dozen or 14 feet square, to reach the floor of which he descends a step some 12 or 14 inches deep. The roof over head is also higher very considerably than the side galleries. The men were now employed in battening or. planking all the sides of these eaves. When that is done the powder will be placed in them, and after the voltaic wires have been laid the whole of the galleries mill be "tamped" up with sand-bags. These bags. are about two feet long, and about 20 or 30 inches 'round. It is obvious that if the galleri es l ea di ng from the caves at each end of the T were not securely 'stopped up, the powder, when exploded, instead of ))lowing down the cliff would rush through the gene._ ties. To prevent this the galleries are " tamped" up. 'with a great number of these sand-bags, which will offer more resistance to the exploded powder than the, chalk rock itself. In these caves, at the end of each um of the T, are now placed 1,200 lb. - of powder.' These are the two principal charges. , It-was well we went the day we did, for the next day (Thursday last) the men began to " tamp" up the galleries with the sand-bags, and all ingress to visitors was conse quently cut off. Such are the lower works for the explosion, and they have no connexion, it must ha observed, what ever with the works above, except that of the voltaic wire. The cliff thrown down at Daver a few years ago, was a prOjection, with a fissure behind it. There is nothing of the kind at Seaford : : The cliff is compa- rativeli straight, and of solid chalk rock. It requires a great force, therefore, to displace any portion of it, -a.nd the quantity of powder has consequently been iocreascd—taking into account all the charges—from' 18,000 lb. to 27,0001 b. Laming, then, the lower works, we returned by the way we came, and ascended by a pathway through hills of sand to the upper works. It was intencleclatTtirst to sink aseinieircular trench': of great -depth, enclosiCg the upper part of that por tion of the cliff to be thrown headlong into the sea; but this plan, which it would have taken months to complete, was abandoned, and it was decided to sink five shafts (or wells) at cetsin distances from each other in the line where the trench Was 'to have been dug. These :hafts being all finished in a much shorter time than the trench could have been dug, the. day for the explosion was fixed for the 196 Septene-- ber, instead of some day in Deeenibsr, as formerly contemplated. All these five shafts are auxiliary to the great works below, upon which everything de pends. At the - bottom of each shaft (each 40 feet deep) a large quantity of powder, is placed • on that sand-bags, and the whole is filled up with chalk rock: The wires from the voltaic battery are -conveyed to the works below over the face of the cliff, whilst other vices are laid to the powder of each of the shafts of the upper works. When l el' is ready, a single' touch of the voltaic battery in the:little wooden bonse will fire the plating . wiresirserted,in the powder,.und down, as if by magic, will fall tens of thousands of loads of chalk rock. One of the reasons for these works:being executed at so small an expense, is the - fact of her Majesty's Sappers , and Miners being employed. ~The men like the work, and•prefer it to being shut up in barracks er garrison.. „. ,There is much difference of opinion as to the noise and effect of the explosion. Some of the people of Seaford have been, advised . to open all , their'windoWd and doors, s- as to avoid as much as: they can the consequences of an explosion of 27,0001b5. of powder, and it is expected that the earth will be shaken for miles round, as if by an earthquake. But others think that the noise will not be very great, nor t air materially disturbed, and though the earth will be shaken it will not be so much so as to-cause alarm, Care will, of course, be tnkel to keep the people at a proper distance, or accidents might occur of a del p.orah'e nature.. The best place to see the explosion, if the w esther is favourable, w 4 uld be a mile or se at sea. - The prospect from the upper works -is very erten... *ive, and, in fine weather, es we , hope to have on the day of the explosion, beautiful. On the brow of the hill . you see along way - down Channel. Tura round and you see Cuckraere Haven, Beachy Head, and I long way up Channel.'; Look towards tie north-east`, and you see the hilli above fAlftiston, Windermere Mill, Walburton Church, and as fertile a country ale- the sun-shines upon. Twin ag,itinlo -the north-west, Searord lies at your feet, BishoPstone and Newhaven before you, and the Owe Valley - and Rodmill Mills in. the distance. is eltogether a country worth visiting ; particularly at a time when the greatest plosion of the kind ever known-intitia'country is to be made. The explosion will tale place on Thursday next, the 19th inst., between twelve and three r 24. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER l6, 1850.
