MANSION-HOUSE.—Reuben Thivaites, who ap peared to be about eleven years of age, was charged by Mr. Ward, of Liverpool-street, baker, who said—About twenty minutes to twelve o'clock yesterday the prisoner crawled into my shop, threw himself across the. counter, pulled out the till, and took out 1/. 12s. Old., and started away the moment he put it into his pocket. I was en tering the shop at the time, and I ran after him, stopped him in Moorfields, brought him back, and gave him into custody. I feel quite positive that the money found in his trouser's pocket was taken from my till, because I miss about that sum. He begged me to let him go. The Policemen—l found 1/. 12s. Old. in the pri soner's trouser's pocket, and he told me that was all he had taken out of the till. I found ls. 6d. in his waist coat pocket. The father of the prisoner said that correction had been thrown away upon the unfortunate child, who was, there was every reason to believe, under the tuition of expe rienced thieves, who had picked him up at the " gaffs," or penny plays, with which the est-end used to swarm some time ago. Alderman Wire, after a strict investigation into the case, sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment for three months, and such labour as he might be able to perform. MARYLEBONE.—Captain Henry Hugh Clayton, residing at 1, Woodfield-terrace; Harrow-road, and upon whom summonses had been previously issued, was brought up by Whipp, 86 D, on a warrant charging him under very peculiar circumstances with having assaulted Eliza Remington, a young woman of prepossessing ap pearance, and about 26 years of age. She was house maid to the defendant. Complainant, on being sworn, said—On the morning of the 4th of November last the captain made overtures to me of an improper nature, which I repulsed. In the afternoon of the same day, while I was cleaning the fire grate in my bed-room, he came up, saying he was going to kiss me, and on my telling him that I could not suffer him to do anything of the kind, he said, " If you will only consent to my wishes, I'll settle upon you so much a year. I have been in the habit of doing it with all my servants, and why can't you and I agree ?" I told him that I could not think of agreeing to him scandalous and offensive proposal, when he patted me on the shoulder, and, aftel ringing the bell, said that if I did not accede to his wishes he should kick me down stairs. I pushed past him and went below, declaring that I would quit the house on the same day. Mr. Long—You have summoned Captain Clayton here for assaulting you. Let me know what you have to say upon that ? Complainant—ln the afternoon, while in my bedroom and in the act of packing up my clothes, Captain Clay ton came in and said I should not go till the next day. I told him that my mind was made up to go instantly, when he rung the bell, and I then rushed down stairs into the kitchen. The captain told the cook that she had corrupted me, and he then thrashed me with a cane with such violence that marks were upon my person for several days. He has repeatedly made to me improper solicitations, and I have upon every occasion repulsed him. Mr. Long (to the defendant)—What answer have you to this ? Defendant—she made some improper and insolent re marks as a servant, and I gave her a slight tap with the cane. Mr. Long—The assault—and you do not deny it— has been proved, and for that I shall fine you 50s. and costs. Captain Clayton (pulling out is well•filled purse) said— Did you say 501. Mr. Fell, the chief clerk—The penalty is not 501., but 50s. Captain Clayton—Oh, very well ! He paid the penalty with much sang-froid, and then quitted the court. PENNY POSTAGE.

SECOND TLRIA TRIP OF THE CALORIC SHIP ERICSSON. (From the New Fork Weekly Herald.) This wonderful vessel, the success of which is exciting so much attention among all classes, at home and abroad, wept down the bay yesterday, on another trial trip, having made what is called an " engineer's trip some days back, an account of which, t oge th er w ith a f u ll de scription of the - vessel, appeared at the time in the Herald. Thissecereltrip was determined on to dispel, by another ocular demonstration, the evil reports that, in spite of the success of the first trial trip, have been raised against the practicability of the experiment. Accord. ingly, about sixty invited guests, composed of members of the press and several scientific gentlemen, assembled on board a tow -boat at Whitehall, at nine o'clock, from which they were transferred to the Ericsson, which was waiting for visiters in the North rive r , •off Pier No. 1. At half-past nine exactly, the first turn of the wheels was made. At fifteen minutes of ten she was abreast the fort on Governor's Island, and reached Fort Diamond exactly fifteen minutes to eleven o'clock, a distance of about seven miles and a half, against a strong head wind and tide. When between Governor's Island and Quarantine, the steam-ship Baltic, from Liverpool, was passed, which saluted us with cannon, and several hearty rounds of cheers, which were promptly returned. After the Ericsson had proceeded about a mile and a half below the Nar rows, she was put about and returned to the city, and arrived at her starting point in the North River at a quarter-past twelve. The distance from Governor's Island to her turning point and back, was about 18 miles, which was accomplished in two hours and a half. The greatest number of revolutions made on the trip was ten and a quarter, and the greatest speed attained was at the rate of nine miles an hour. This trip was not made to show her speed, but to convince the public that the parties interested in her have succeeded in their pro mise of proving the capability of a vessel being pro pelled by caloric. On the way back the party as sembled in the saloon, when Captain Ericsson explained, by the aid of a diagram, the whole principle and method of working his caloric engines. He gave a succinct history of the whole matter, and demonstrated the method by which th e atmosphere was drawn in cold, then forced through a wire network, forming a surface of 15,000 square inches, into a lower cylinder, where, receiving additional heat from the fur nace, it expanded in the larger cylinder so as to raise it, and then, when it h a d d one it s wor k, it escape d th roug h the work of wire gauze into the open air, having fin parted the greater portion of its heat to the wire work, which was again absorbed by the fresh draft of cold air passing through the same wire meshes to be heated. There are four double cylinders, set perpendicularly and longitudinally, to the boat—two abaft and two forward of the main wheel shaft. They all move in connection, those forward rise, while those in the rear of the shaft sink. There are two piston or driving crank rods, which turn the wheel shafts. One is moved by a walking beam, which is moved by the cylinders in front, and the other by a similar beam in the rear. They both work on the same crank of the wheel shaft, and at inclined angles, rising from below, in the form of the letter V, inverted thus, A, with the shaft crank for both at the apex. Hence, while one rod is pushing, the other is pulling the crank—thus avoiding the dead point usually encountered in the ordinary crank motions of steam engines, &c. The pressure was uniformly at 12 pounds to the square inch. Captain Ericsson estimated the force of his machinery at 600 horse-power.. The upper cylinder in each case con tained a head surface of 14,000 square inches, and the lower cylinders a surface of 22,500 square inches. The diameters of the main cylinders were about 163 inches. The main valves were about 2 feet in diameter. The consumption of coal was at the rate of 6 tons in 24 hours, During Captain Ericsson's lucid exposition of his ma chinery, he invited the most rigid scrutiny and investi gation. Many questions were put by parties present, which he answered with great clearness and promptness. One question asked regarded the packing of the cylinders, which it had been said would melt, and let the air escape. He showed that by filling the cylinder heads with non-conducting materials, and the packing by surrounding the head, being above the surface exposed to heated air, was kept cool. He also showed how a man, by standing on a cylinder head, could, by hand, readily lubricate every part of the surface of the cylinder. The packing, also, he showed to be at all times in command of the engineer or attendant, which Was not the case in steam engines. To a question regarding the oxidization, ex pansion, and contraction of the iron composing the bot toms of the main cylinders immediately over the fires in the furnaces, he stated that the iron composing them was an inch and a quarter thick, and when they gave out, which would not be over once in five . years, new ones could immediately be substituted without displacing any of the machinery; and were it desirable to make them en dure for a longer period, they could have their surfaces ex posed to the fire coated with fire-brick clay. He said they did not expand, or contract, o • vibrate but very little, and not more than was common to metal similarly used in other engines. Many other questions were put and an swered, regarding the backing or reversing the action of his machinery, and when stopping ler on her course for an hour, more or less, how he would start her again. To the latter question he said, if the detention exceeded many minutes, he Would start just as he would in the first in stance, by pumping a supply of fresh air, which would soon become expanded in the large cylinder, and put all in motion. But a pressure of half a pound , the square ilia would start the engine, and the weight of the crank alone was sufficient to put it in motion. The expe n se of running a caloric engine, he stated, would be but one fifth of that of a steam-engine of the same power. In conclusion, Mr. E. stated that he was induced to go on this trial trip for the sake of the parties interested with him ; but as to himself, he had been all along per fectly satisfied of the successful issue of the experiment ; and owing to the machinery not being tight, which is a thing only to be accomplished by degrees, the engines were not working much more than half of their power, but that the trial had fully answered his expectations, and he was confident the principle would in a short time be universally adopted. So dear were Capt. E.'s explanations, that he was urged to give a lecture at Metropolit an Hall, illustrated, as yesterday, by his model, on a larger scale, which We trust that he will do. It was conceded by all that Capt. E. had demonstrated his success in est-blishing beyond all do - abt a new principle of motive power, and that all that - was wanted was its proper application to the great end intended. All that is necessary to gain additional power is to increase the diameter of the cylin ders. Those in the present ship, it is clear are too small to give the power and speed that are desirable. Captain E. said he foresaw this difficulty, but was told by ironfounders that they could not cast the cylinder of greater dimensions than 14 feet. Since these were made up that size- and put in this ship, a firm in New York has offered to guarantee to cast them of 20 feet in diameter. Captain - E. estimates that were the present ships's. cylinders of 16 feet diameter, she would make a speed equal to the best ocean steamers, or 12 to 14 miles per hour ; and that a vessel with 20 feet cylinders would outstrip the speed of anything that now floats on the water. We have before alluded to the dimensions of the ship, the great freight room gained by the diminished space occupied by the machinery and coal, and the absence of danger from explosion or collapse, as well as to the great comfort derived from the perfect ventilation of the ship in every part. This is caused by the fresh air being drawn into the lower hold of the vessel before it enters the cylinders. Captain E. thinks it can be modified to propel locomo tives on railroads, and applied to nearly all kinds of sta tionary work. great and small. A locomotive on this plan could be made to traverse a street, without stopping for water or fuel on the way. When Captain E. had concluded, a meeting w^ s or ganised and a committee appointed to give an expression of those present, on the success of this great experiment. The committee reported the following resolutions, which were passed unanimously : Resolved—That this meeting of those present upon the trial trip of the caloric ship Ericsson is no less fully and deeply impressed with the grave im?ortance of the subject upon which it feels called to express a judgment, than completely aware of - the many advantages to the poblic which must arise from the now incontestable success of the invention which has to-day been put into practical operr tion._ Resolved—That, upon thorough examination and actual observation, we are entirely convinced that the invention of Captain Er!csson is no longer of questionable practica bility, but from this day takes rank with the foremost of the great and useful inventions which the world owes to science and genius, and that it promises to surpass in efficiency any other adjunct to the advancement of com merce and the industrial progress of the world. Resolved—That, from its economy, safety, and ready applicability to all purposes requiring motive power, the caloric engine canno t f a il t o m i n i s t er l arge ly t o th e happi ness of mankind. Resolved—That the peculiar adaptability to sea vessels of the new motor presented to the:world. by Captain Erics son, is now fally established ; and that it is likely to prove, in eve_7 respect, superior to steam for such purposes. Resolved—That the remarkable economy of fuel neces esxy for its working, the absence of all risk from explosion, and the low temperature throughout the ship, even in the .engine and fire rooms, as satisfactorily exhibited on this trip, are among the most prominent claims of the caloric engine to the attention of the scientific and commercial world. Resolved—That in his lucid, simple, and comprehensive statement of his theory, and description of his engine, Captain Ericsson has not only demonstrated the beautiful completeness and perfect working of the system which he has brought, by 20 ye a rs elaboration, to it present com manding position before the world, but has shown a fer tility of resource, and a ready command of his vast scien tific knowledge, which hardly less entitle him to the ad miration of all who heard him. Resolved—That in the admirable construction of the Ericsson, and the beauty of her model, and in the perfectly successful production of so novel and remarkable an engine, Messrs. Perrin, Patterson, and Stack, her builders, and Messrs. Hogg and Delamater, the machinists, have shown themselves worthy coadjuttra in so noble a project, so im portant an invention. Resolved—That E. W. Stoughton, Esq., the tried friend and legal adviser of the inventor, with John B. Kitching, Esq., and G. B. Lamar, Esq., and others, the men who have invested their cap it a l a d lent their influence to in sure the success of great enterprise, are entitled to the enduring gratitude of the entire social, commercial, and industrial world. Among those present we recognised members of nearly all the press in the c it y , w ith a representative from Buf falo, and another from Cincinnati. At the conclusion of the meeting, the company sat down to a cold collation, having been previously served wit's an excellent break fast. After which, several speeches were made aad sen timents expressed complimentary to Captain Ericsson, John B. Kitching, and others. On the health of the commander of the ship being proposed, Captain LOWBER said—l offer you, sir, my thanks for your most kind sentiment ; and to you, gentlemen, my most heartfelt acknowledgments for its so gracious re ception. The hoarse voice of the sailor is more accus- INSTITUTION OP CIVIL ENGINEERS— Jan. 25. tomed with the roar and turmoil of the wind and the waves than to speak on such an accasion as this. Yet, gentlemen, I should do injustice to you and to my own feelings did I not congratulate you on this most auspi- ' cious day, which ensures the success of an enterprise in • which our most earnest agitated hopes have been cen tred. I can but congratulate you upon the complete triumph of that enterprise and the realisation of those hopes. I have stood, gentlemen, on the deck when the elements in their fury seemed about to overwhelm the ship, and yet I never looked forward with more anxiety to a safe passage through these trials than I have done in watching the progress and anticipating the conclusion of this enterprise ; and when the end came and we stood before the world in triumph, I can assure you every part of my frame was quickened, and the blood rushed with redoubled force through my veins. I need not say it was a proud day for Mr. Ericsson. The mind that, for twenty years, has cherished and nurtured an idea like this, must feel more than pride at its successful applica tion. To him who has conceived and executed we owe all ; and it is my sincere trust that he will be fully repaid in his day, and I doubt not that posterity will take care of a fame that will rank with a Fulton or a Morse. I can pay but a poor tribute to the father of this—the man who furnished the sinews, and reduced the idea to a fact ; the man whose comprehensive mind compassed its entire scope, and whose sagacious foresight anticipated the result. Need I say I allude to Mr. J. B. Kitching ? Through concealed opposition, and sneers often openly expressed, he went straight on, and the end is his own best reward, and the conscious dignity of success his best praise. And to those who have constructed and finished the work, I can say they have performed their part most faithfully and well. It speaks for itself, and I can point to it with pride ; and the gentlemen who constructed the hull have the satisfaction of knowing that a superior does not ride the waves. Gentlemen who represent the insurance interests of this great mart, I welcome you on board of the first caloric ship, which, I trust, you will find not inferior to any in naval architecture, and will prove a new era in marine insurance. Gentlemen of the press, you are most welcome. lam proud to meet you on such an occasion, and I feel you have witnessed this day a new motive power, in'which I hope you have been interested. To you we owe much, as one of the connect ing links between thought and mind ; and in presenting the particulars of this new invention before the public, I am confident that you will "nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice." The worthy captain concluded by giving " Commerce and Justice—Commerce, the great pioneer of civilisation and the nurse of content; Justice, the hand maiden. Nations and individuals alike responsible —con nected, humanity must advance." The owners and builders of hull and engines were also toasted, and other sentiments given and responded to ; after which the - company embarked on board the tow boat, and arrived in the city highly delighted with their trip, and convinced that the success of the caloric en gines was placed beyond all doubt. The opinion was general, that with cylinders of proper dimensions, placed in a boat to correspond, the greatest attainable speed may be realised, and at an expense lower than had ever before been thought possible • and furthermore, that all concerned deserved the highest credit, and had placed the people and country under obligations to them. We feel proud that such a triumph has been realised • in New York, and that American money has enabled the inventor to accomplish his grand idea. The Ericsson will be taken to-day to her old dock at ' Williamsburg, to have her engines put in a thorough state of completeness, previous to starting on her trip to ) Baltimore. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY AND THE YORKSHIRE COAL-OWNERS. It is pretty generally known that, owing to the open ing of the Great Northern and South Yorkshire Rail ways, the demand for coal from the South Yorkshire pits has very greatly increased during the last 12 months. Formerly a large supply was always in readiness at the pit's month, but latterly it has been found impossible to meet the demands of the railway companies, notwith standing the number of new shafts recently sunk in this district, and now in full working operation. The operative miners, perceiving this state of things, demanded at the close of last year an increase of wages, which in almost all instances was complied with by the coal proprietors. This concession necessitated an in creased price to the consumer through the- larger and more immediate purchasers— the Great Northern Com pany. It was, therefore, intimated to the directors of the company, early in the present month, that an in creased price of 6d. per ton (viz., from 4s. to 4s. 6d.), at the pit's mouth would in future be required by the coal proprietors, and also that the extra cwt. theretofore al lowed in each ton for breakage would be charged in the traffic account. In consequence of this intimation, a meeting of the di rectors of the Great Northern Company was held at King's-cross station, on the 4th instant, at which, after a long deliberation, it was resolved that the proposed advance should be resisted. Accordingly, instructions were immediately given to the officials of the company to receive no further supplies from the pits of Earl Fitzwilliam, Messrs. Newton and Chambers, and Messrs. Day and Twyvell, of the Elsecar, Thorncliffe, and Hoyland Collieries, until further notice. The accumu lation of orders on the books of the Great Northern Company, however, rendered it imperative that a new source of supply shall be forthwith obtained ; and, after some negotiation, they effected terms with the pro prietors of the Gawber-hall pits, near Wakefield, not withstanding that the arrangement involved an increased mileage of 24 miles, at the rate of 10d. per mile, and an increase of 9d. per ton in the price of the article, as com pared with the original charges of the South Yorkshire pits. The effect of this change was, as might be expected, very considerably to diminish the traffic returns of the South Yorkshire Railway Company (whose line runs from Doncaster to the pits), the reduction being, in fact, as much as 2,0001. per week. This company, however, being dependent on the coal-proprietors at one end of their line, and on the Great Northern Company at the other, had no alternative but to submit to the loss until the dispute between the two bodies was adjusted, which was ultimately done as follows : The Gawber-hall proprietors, having learnt the state of affairs just described, and that the Great northern Company had resorted to them as a matter of temporary expediency, and also hearing that the coal-owners of the north had, at a general meeting at Darlington on Mon day, the 17th inst., come to a determination to advance the price of their coals 9d. per ton, resolved to increase the price of the Gawber-pit coal in the same ratio as the South Yorkshire pits, viz., 6d. per ton. This being in timated to the Great Northern directory, Mr. Seymour Clarke, the general manager of the line, accompanied by Mr. Middlemess, the mineral agent of the company, proceeded on Friday last to Elsecar, where they had an interview with the agents of the various coal-proprietors of the South Yorkshire district, the result of which was that arrangements were made for resuming their traffic with the South Yorkshire pits at the increased price.

The President ful filled his promise of procuring, from Southampton, por tions of unprepared and creosoted timber, which had been attached to the worm-eaten piles of Southampton Royal Pier, in February, 1848, below the level of high water of spring tides. The specimens showed that, whilst the unprepared and the " Payneized" timber was entirely converted by the worm into a mass of disinte grated fibre, the creosoted timber had not been touched by those insects. An offer was made to attach, in an identical position specimens of timber prepared by any process, and to bring them after a given time before the institution, to enable the merit of the system to be practi cally ascertained. The President directed attention to the Dublin Exhibition and Mr. Ro ne y (th e secretary ) state d that the undertaking was progressing most favourably. The original size of the buliding would be nearly doubled, and, to meet the additional outlay, Mr. Dargan had in creased his donation from 20,0001. to 50,0001. It was believed that the department of machinery in motion would be quite as interesting and attractive as that in the Great Exhibition of 1851, in London. The Society of Arts had determined that their East India Exhibition, and all the influence of their body, should be transferred to the Dublin Exhibition. There would also be a me diieval court, and an archieological collection, which would show that Ireland, though of late years not pro gressing so rapidly as this country, was, in former times, a country possessing high attributes of' civilisation. There would also be a fine collection of ancient and mo dern pictures of every school. Mr. Roney concluded by _soliciting the members to aid the exhibition by the loan of models, whether working or stationary, and of works of art, of which great care would be taken. The paper read was, " On the construction of fire proof buildings," by Mr. James Barrett, Assoc. Inst. C.E. The author first intro duced some remarks on the use of timber, for building pur poses, referring to its injurious effects in weakening the walls of buildings, its combustibility, and its liability to dry rot and the ravages of insects. The great loss of life and the vast destruction of property, resulting from its too common use in buildings, rendering essential some strong measure, by which the public safety would be insured. The iron-girder and brick -arch system of construction was then referred to, and the evils which might result from the adoption of that principle were exemplified by reference to the fall of the cotton mill, at Oldham, in 1845 ; where the lateral thrust of one of the arches having fractured a cast-iron beam, had caused the sudden destruction of the entire building. The author contended, that a system liable to produce such calami tous results, could not be regarded with that degree of confidence which should be felt where many lives and much property were at stake. The paper then proceeded to describe the system of fire-proof construction, which had been to some considerable extent adopted, as a substitute for the usual methods of building, and as a remedy for the defects complained of. The chief objects to be accomplished were described to be, making each floor of the building fire-proof, so as to prevent the com nication of fire from story to story, avoiding all lateral thrust or weakening effect upon:the walls, securing the building from the effects of dry rot, giving increased durability to the structure, and rendering it at the same time practically sound proof ; combining these advan tages, at the same time, with simplicity and economy of construction. In accomplishing these objects, joists of wrought or rolled iron, of an improved form, combining lightness with great strength and economy, were used ; and by the employment of layers of incombustible mate rials, chiefly concrete, supported by and consolidated with the joists, a strong and solid fire-proof foundation was obtained, upon which any description of finished sur face, adapted for a floor or roof, might be laid. The various parts of the structure having been minutely de scribed, it was stated that, in point of strength, the floors even of an ordinary dwelling-house, constructed on this principle, would, if crowded to the utmost possible extent, be loaded with only one-fifth of their breaking weight. The various applications of the system to such building as Guy's Hospital, King's College Hospital, the Training College, Chelsea, and the flax mills at Newry, the spans of which were considerable, were then detailed ; these consisted of the use of girders of cast-iron, with minor joists of the same material ; of boiler plate girders combined with cast-iron joists, the whole of the additions to Guy's Hospital having been built in this manner; and of boiler-plate girders combined with rolled iron joists ; the latter method providing for every possible con tingency, whether as regarded width of bearing, strength of floors, or liability to impact, or vibration ; and in cases where the use of columns could be ad mitted, to shorten the bearings, both girders and joists of rolled iron' were employed ; this latter applica tion referring chiefly to mills, warehouses, manu factories, and similar buildings. The fullest details NN ere given of the actual, as well as the relative cost, as compared with °the': floors, under all circumstances ; and it appeared, from a detailed comparative statement of the cost of different floors for domestic buildings, given in an append'x to the paper, that substantial and we l l -constructed timber floors were actually more costly than the fire-proof floors finished with a s ar face of cement ; and that the fire-proof foundation, finished with the ordinary boarded surface, was, on the average, very little mo re expensive than ordinary timber floors. A comparative statement of the cost of a floor for a mill, or factory, formed in three dif ferent ways—namely, with timber, with cast-iron girders and brick arches, and with gird ers an d j o i sts of rolled iron, showed a decided economy in the use of the latter system, as compared with cast girders and al cl-es. The author, in conclusion, referred to the diffi cultes attending the introduction of any innovation in the ordir ary arts of _life, and cited instances where great improvements were only fully recognised after the lapse of years, when prejudices had died away. He stated the subject to be one of great importance, considered merely in a commercial point of view, from the fact of nearly half a million sterling being annually paid, in London alone, for fire insurance, exclusive of the duty, adding the well-known fact, that upwards of 1,000 fires occurred annually in the metropolis, and that more than half of those which reached the structure of a building were considered to have originated in defec th e, or overheated chimney flues, acting upon the tim bers. It was contended, also, that whilst the general adoption of a system of fire-proof construction would prove a remedy for that fruitful source of crime, incen diarism, it was a question, if insurance companies them selves would not ultimately be considerable gainers, and it was added that, though in the course of his remarks objections had been stated to the use of cast iron girders and brick arches, yet that it was rather to bring fire-proof construction within the reach of every one, than to 'offer any particular system, in opposi tion to other methods, that the plan had been intro duced. This plan, however, was not to be looked upon as a mere theory, but as one the value of which had been practically demonstrated for many years, and applied to every variety and description of building ; and it was not one of its least recommendations, that its adoption would greatly extend the use of a material, the whole of the cost of the production of which was spent in employing home labour. In the lobby, one of Jennings' sluice valves was exhibited ; the im provement was stated to consist in simplifying the con struction, by casting the " body" and " faucet" ends in one piece, thus avoiding the use of bolts, nuts, and joints. The slide was first fitted, and made to work properly on the body of the valve ; it was then removed, and with two gun-metal faces, was turned, ground, and accurately fitted. The slide, through which a small hol e had been previously drilled, was again placed in the valve, the two faces were introduced, and all firmly bolted together. The joints of the faces, which were dovetailed to the body, were then made with lead, or with iron cement ; the bolt was removed, the hole plugged, and the valve was completed at considerable saving of time and cost. These valves were stated to have been extensively used under considerable pressures. The following paper was announced to be read at the meeting of Tuesday, February 1 :—" On the Pneumatics of Mines," by Mr. Joshua Richardson, M. Inst. C.E. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.
