This, too, being the laßt settling day of the season, bookmakers assembled in great force, in the hope of collecting some outstanding accounts. Attention was divided between the sale yard and the subscription room, but the proceedings of the auctioneer evidently excited mere interest tban those connected with coming -events. The betting was prin cipally in small sums, and for the most part the prices . given below must be deemed merely nominal.

The sale yard was fully attended, but the crowd consisted more of those persons whom the fame of some of the animals to be sold had brought to gether than of people who had come with the determi nation of doing business. Saunterer excited much curiosity, and wee ultimately knocked down to Mr. Blenkiron for 2,150 guineas. It is likely, however, that he will not be delivered up until the close of his racing career, when he will be used for stud purposes. Indeed, it is questionable whether a bona fide sale was effected. Magnifier, who was much talked about in connection with the last Derby "Bullock to ride," was sold for 45 guineas ; Precious Stone by Touchstone—Perfection's dam brought 500 guineas, the exact price which Mr. Jackson gave for her at Don caster in Sept. last ; Brother to Flyaway was trans ferred for 450 guineas.

The boiler was a single tube Cornish one, 8 or 9 yard. long and 7ftet in diameter. It burst into framente, which were scattered in opposite dir ec ti ons , completely destroying the building in which it was placed, which was three stories high. Nearly one-half of the boiler was thrown into Mitchell's dyehouse-yard, a distance of 20 yards, an-I another piece made a deep dint in en engine boiler there, but, fortunately, did not break it. Two dead bodies of women were thrown into the doorway of the dye-house so mutilated that they could not be identified.

THE LATE GENERAL NEILL.--At a meeting of the Commissioners of Suppiy of the county of Ayr the chair man, Col. J. Ferrier Hamilton, called attention to the lamented death of one of their number, General Neill. Sir James Fergusson, of Kilkerran, proposed,' and Mr. James Campbell, of Crai e ie, seconded, the following re solution, which was unanimously agreed to—" That the Commissioners of Supply desire to record the regret and sorrow which they have felt in hearing of the death of ' the late General Neill, and their deep sense of the loss the country at tare ha; sustained in the untimely end of that gallant general's career, who during the abort period of his service in Bengal had contributed so largely by energy, courage, nod military skill to the check which has been given to the revolt of the native army and to the brilliant achievements of the British forces and the loyal portion of the native army. That the chairman shall convey to the bereaved widow and mother cf General Neill a espy of the foregoing resolution, in the hope that this expres,ion of sympathy, combined with the recollection of his glorious death and the uni versal admiration of his great qualities and services, may afford to them some consolation under their deplorable calamity." A. meeting was held yesterday of creditors of Messrs. Wilson, Morgan, and Co., wholesale stationers, whose suspension was announced en the 12th inst., when a statement was submitted by Mr. Chatteris ; the accoun tact, showing a deficiency of 16,1301., the liabilities being 25,629/., and the estimated assets 9,4991. A long and smnewhat angry discussion took place upon the offer by the insolvents of a composition of 7s. in the pound, in four instalments, it being contended that a dividend of 10s. at least should have been proposed Dissatisfaction was also expressed- that the capital brought into the concern by Mr. Smith, one of the part ners and a minor, was advanced on security by his father, who appears as a creditor on the estate. Ultimately it was resolved to accept a composition of 83. 6d., payable in three instalments at three, six, and nine months rr epeotively from the let of December, the last instalment to be secured to the satisfaction of a committee of three creditor's. WOLVERHAMPTON AN) STAFFORDSHIRE BANK. WOLVERHAMPTON, Monday E►ening; A meeting of the shareholders in this bank was held this morming, at the Swan Hotel ; Mr. A. Hordern, the chairman of the board of directors, presided. - In the course of Friday and Saturday several meetings, both of sh a reholders and depositors, have been held ; at the form, r, the prevalent feeling has been that the directors should them selves raise a large sum of money (say 200,0001.), and that the co-operation of the other parties in terested should be so far obtained, that the business of the bank might be at once resumed ; this plan being the most de4itable for the interests of all patties. The energetic meastares taken by the shareholders and other creditors, appears to have stimulated the board of direction to action ; Mr. Hill, the late manager, was called in to advise ; and the result was that late on Saturday night a report was issued. That report was read at the meeting to-day by Mr. BRISCOE, the deputy-Qhairman, after a few ob servations formally opening the business had been made by the chairman, whose remarks were, how ever, inaudible. Mr. Bitiscoa said that since the report had been issued the directors had further considered the state of affiirs, and that they had resolved themselves to lend 100,0001., instead of the 50,0001. named in the report. _ _ Mr: DIXON said he presumed they might take it for granted that the figures in the report were correct. Mr. HILL, the late manager, said that he had gone over the matter as carefully as he could in the time ; the figures as to the balances he had taken from the clerks, but that he had himself looked through the bills, and he believed that the estimate of their value was not over-rated. He thought it not improbable that they would turn out of greater value than had been put down, but very much would depend on the circumstances under which they were got in. Mr. DIXON thought that the committee of share holders to be appointed should confer with the committee of creditors. The best thing was fur all parties to work together. As for recrimination, it would be the worst thing that could happen. Mr. JOHN LEIGH , stipendiary magistrate for the division, moved the first resolution. The first question to be decided was whether the bank was to be wound up, or whether they were to go on. (Cries of "Go on.") If the latter, it must be by the good feeling and co-operation of all parties. Directors, shareholders, and creditors must all work together ; if that took place, the mischief would be very greatly lessened. No doubt they were much at the mercy of the credi tors ; if they were disposed to forbear, it was the duty of the shareholders to show that there was a reasonable prospect of their resuming business and going ou satisfactorily. (Hear.) He had seen many of the creditors, and he b,lieved that there was a general disposition amongst the most impor tant ones to meet the difficulty in a fair and liberal spirit ; if there was a wind up there would not only be expense and delay, but a great deal of mischief to all parties. Mr. Leigh concluded by moving the following resolution : " That this meeting approves of the proposal of the directors to carry ou the bank according to the scheme submitted ; and is willing to pledge itself to carry it out subject to the modi fication and approval of a commitee of shareholders; and in learning the intentions and feelings of the creditors." Mr. T. BOLTON, in seconding the resolution, said it was framed on the principle that the shareholders wei e disposed to co-operate for the purpose of car rying on the bank. If they had a call of 5/. a share, he hoped not only to get it paid up, but that tkey would get another Si. voluntarily paid up by many of the shareholders upon a reasonable rate of in terest. Mr. Bolton remarked on the evils and ex pense which would attend a wind up. He was not disposed (he said) to recommend it under the Regis tration Act ; and under the Bankruptcy Act it would be by an assignee, who was ill-fitted to ad minater the affairs of such an estate without great loss. (Hear, hear.) Being in the position they were, he called upon the shareholders to meet the difficulty manfully ; not to shirk the responsibility they had incurred to their creditors, even if ruin were the consequence. The resolution as moved was carried unani mously. Mr. LEIGH they moved the following resolution : " That the following gentlemen be appointed a committee of shareholders, with power to add to their number, and with power to appoitA a sub committee of such smaller number of their mem bers as they think fit to act with the directors : Mr. W. H. Sparrow, Mr. Bolton, Mr. Eatp, Mr. E. Dixon, Mr. Wood, Mr. Leigh, Mr. Hill, Mr. C. Elwell, Mr. Fleming, and Mr. Wynn." In moving this resolutiots, Mr. Leigh s ,id it was not to be expected that the creditors should pledge themselves to any particular course of proceeding until ,the shareholders had taken some definite steps as to the future course of action. He had no doubt that the shareholders would make an im mediate call of Si. per share, and that many of them would pay another 5/. voluntarily. What ever was done, however, must be done promptly, or it would be useless ; and to do it successfully some portion of the burthen must be borne by the depositors. Mr. E. DIXON seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. LEIGH t h en mo ved the following as the third and fenrth resolutions : " That Ike di rec t ors ta ke no step of importance wit lout the concurrence cf the sub-committee of share holders. " That the committee of shareholders have power to adopt the proposal of the directors without reporting to a g , neral mre lag of eh trehohiers." Mr. KETTLE seconded the resolution, remarking on the important difference between the first offer of the directors to raise 50,0001., and their present proposal to raise 100,0001. He hoped that no difficulty would arise in the way of ad justing matters, and that the bank would again be re-opened. Mr. LEIGH repeated that in his opinion every thing depended upon the forbearance of the cre ditors. Mr. WOOD suggested that a voluntary amount should be frbeoratiswedo years. asaguarantee fund, which might Nr. BOLTON remarked that, pending the carry ing out of arrangements, care should be taken not to allow actions to be proceeded with against the bank without the consent of the shareholders. The resolution was then put and carried, as was also the following "That this meeting is Wad to find that a temporary committee of depositors and creditors have been ap pointed to confer with the directors, and trusts that the meeting to-morrow will elect a permanent committee to a ct in tue spirit of the anive resolution." The meeting then adjourned until 5 o'clock, in order that a meeting of the committee might in the meanwhile be held. The proceedings had been of a most satisfactory character throughout ; the utmost unanimity pre vails amongst the shareh o ld ers, and it i s b e li eve d that the forbearance and co-operation of the cre ditors will be obtained. t n t o h a e v r w e a il r l e b e A tali upon the share holderspeculiarly burthensome, and many parties who would be un n unable to d t j o ouus p bt ay it ; but as matters stand it is felt that it would be the best for the interests of all par that an arrangement of this kind should be made, and the bank be re-opened for business immediately. In the event of the proposed arrangements being off immediately, at once to the other cre is most likely the small depositors immediately, and that ss. ditors. i c n ar t r h ie e d l The adjourned meeting of the shareholders took pound into o operation, ; ba r a e t pb i a t e . i n dp , place this a fternoon, but was further adjourned until ater the meeting of the creditors to-morrow, as upon th e resolve of that body very much depends as to the future. The directors have, it is understood, made a call of 5/. per s hare, payable by the 27th of February. In the event of the bank being re opened and carried on as contemplated, the share registry is to be closed for two years.

"2. For having, on or about the 2d of June, 1856, behaved himself with disrespect towards his commanding officer by goin g into his cabin with a frivolous grievance, and attempting to enter into altercation with and to criticize the conduct of his commanding officer in a manner unbecoming a junior officer, with reference to a painted handker chief, and to his own duties as senior lieutenant of the ship. "3. For baying, on or aboutthellth of January, 1857, behaved in a manner unbecoming the charac ter of an officer by breaking his parole. "4. For having, on or about the 15th of January, acted in violation of the general printed instruc tions and the custom of the service by forwarding to his commanding officer a remonstrance upon un justifiable grounds, addressed to the Commander in-Chief in a covering letter unnecessarily hasty and dictatorial."

His Excellency the Governor-General, on the arrival of the Indian in port, having expressed a wish to proceed from Quebec to Montreal, and thence to Toronto, by (Gaud Trunk Railway, ar rangements were immediately made by Mr. Bidder, general manager of the company, to place at the disposal of His Excellency a special train to convey him and suite frAn Quebec to Toronto. The journey, a distance of 500 miles, was performed in 15 hours, but as two hours and a hal f must be de ducted for stoppages, including an hour for dinner at Kingston, the running time is thereby is luced to twelve and a half hours, —making the rate of speed 40 miles an hour for twelve consecutive hours. Such running being managed on a single line of rails, and without, as we are informed, interfering in any way with the ordinary trains, reflects not only the greatest cre'lit on the officers generally and their efficient management, but also affords very conclusive proof that the construction of the road must be of first rate character to warrant such high speed for a cont . nuous journey of 500 miles. Comparing this journey of His Excellency with the locomotion of only a few years back, by which at least a fortnight would have been occupied in the transit between Quebec and TOIOntO, the Pro vince has tuiason to be proud of their great national railroad, "a noble enterprise," as the Hon. Mr. Cayley has characterised it, "so internally blended with the hopes of Canada, that it grows with its growth and strengthens with its strength, and is destined yet to achieve the proudest success with the increasing prosperity of the province."

The editor of the Hertfordshire County Press , in taking leave of his readers upon the fusion of that journal with the Hertford Mercury, makes the fol lowing instructive and interesting statement "Tile County Press first made its appearance in 1832, and took part in the fiery discussions which agitated the publicinind at that period, as the cham pion of Toryism. As a commercial speculation it was never successful : fortune declared against it at the first ; and eluting the years it continued to advocate Tory and Conservative men and measures it probably was indebted for the means of existence rather to the political needs of wealthypatrons, than to the favour with which it was regarded by this general public. Certain it is that, so soon as it was released from the bondage of leading strings, and came into the hands of proprietors who had only the profits arising from the sale of the paper,.and from ttte advertisements inserted in it, to depend upon—it was discovered to he a failure. The public would not support it. Four different proprietors, some of whom expended considerable sums of money in improving it, successively retired from its man agement wiser and sadder' men. It was clear that s conservative newspaper would not pay. Th. , loaders of the conservative party refused to receive it into leading strings again ; and it was in the .market—a most unmarketable commodity. " At the time referred to—the year 1851—it oc curred to the proprietor of the Hertford Mercury that, if the county would not accept the County Press as the advocate of conservatism, it might perhaps accept it in the new character of a neutral paper,.whose colums should be open for the discus si ua of political questions, but which should not itself have any political bias. This - project was cer= tainly feasible. All the resources of the Hertford Mercury, in the shape of reporters and writers, would be available in the County Press, without any great increase of expenditure ; and it therefore was reasonable to expect that, thotigh the County Press was a failure whilst conserva tive, and whilst requiring a separate establishment for its production,—it would be successful as an in dependent, or neutral, paper, issuing from the office of a well known and thoroughly successful journal. Full and accurate reports of local meeting, and the earliest intelligence on subjects of general impor tance, would at once be secured to the public ;and those who did not like to read these things in the columns of a liberal newspaper would have the op portunity of reading them in a newspaper which would contain nothing to offend their political pre judices. " It was with these views that the proprietor of the Hertford Mercury became the proprietor of the County Press. The change of proprietorship took place iu July, 1851, and was announced in a leading article, in which it which it was stated that particular attention would henceforth be directed to agriculture, and that the fullest and most elaborate reports of the London and pro vincial markets would be published. Arrangements were made to this end, and the County Press be came one of the best market newspapers in the coun try. We confidently appeal to our readers whether we did not faithfully fulfil the other promise which we made, that we would be severely impartial and loftily just. Communicat one on political subjects were freely admit,ed to these columns, without re fereoce to the views they advocated, the only con dition of insertion being that they should contain nothing personally offensive and discourteous. In the leading articles party politics were eschewed ; but our readers will remember that, though we took no part in these tempting discussions, we rendered some service to the public by our advocacy of mea sures of social amelioration, in reference to which the best men of all parties are now agreed. There was that in the County Press which might interest men, whatever their political views, and there wiz nothing that ought to have offended any. The con servative party certainly owed a debt of gratitude to us; for, though we did not undertake'to espouse their party views, or defend their party projects, we offered them an organ in which they might de fend themselves without risking those editorial cri ticisms and replies, the dread of which often pre vents men from writing in the fairest and best con ducted newspapers of opposite. politics. • " But the conservative party did not appreciate the boon we offered them. They certainly did not support the County Press to the extent to which, under • the circumstances, might have been ex pected. The bond between us was therefore dis solved. The County Press as a tory newspaper, and as a neutral newspaper, hal failed. The majo rity of its supporters, while it sthtained the later character, were lilwr ds, and we therefore felt bound, in justice to our subscribers, and in • justice to ourselv,s, to make the County Press a liberal newspaper. "It is now our duty to announce that this last experiment has failed. There is no transformation of which the County Press seems susceptible from which its success as a comtnt rcial speculation can be hoped. We have shown that the public would not have it as a tory newspaper—we have learned that they nevertheless prefer a political to a neutral news paper, for politics they will have—and we have also learned that there is not room and scope enoudi in the county for two liberal newspapers— even - though one be published on Saturday, and the other on Tuesday. One after another the subscribers to the County Press have transferred their favours to the Hertford Mercury, until the number of sup porters has been so reduced that we do not feel jus tified in continuing our journalistic labours. " In taking leave of our readers we have only to regret that hencefbrth our - channel of usefulness is closed to us. We may, however, without being arrogant, hope that, since there are some who will probably regret the sudden discontinuance of a journal which has for years past supplied them with metetiale for thinking and for discussion on many subjects of interest, they will not be unwill ing to renew the acquaintance which can l e no longer kept up through the medivm of these co lumns, in those of the Hertford Mecury, in which the County Press beconats henceforth merged." THE NEW ROUSES OP PARLIAMENT. As Parliament is about to meet immediately for the "dispatch of business," the most active mea sures are in progress to put everything in order be fore that important event arrives. Since the close of the last session the works in the interior have' ' been carried on but to a very limited extent, owing to a determination on the part of the Chief Com missioner of Works to concentra e all his energies upon the completion of the outward portion of the building, and eipcially the Victoria and Clock Towers. In pleasing contrast, however, with other portions of this magnificent building, the handsome portico erected over the Lords' Entrance is entirely finished. A few yards from it a stone bench has been laid down for the convenience of peers to dis mount who may come down to the house on horseback ; between it and the entrance a hand some carrisge-way has been constructed, and over the portico four magnificent lamps, handsomely gilt, are now being placed. No other exterior de coration appears to be required, or indeed in con templation, while the same imictili-y prevails in the interior of this portion of the building. The Queen's robing room, in which it was proposed to place some beautiful frescoes, remains as it was last ses sion ; and that of the peers, where similar decora tions, though on a less magnificent scale, were contemplated, is still unchanged. The only alteration made is the conversion of the apace, where the reporters' gallery foi merly stood, into one of those pigeon-holes for which the entire building is so celebrated ; but to what use it may be appropriated remains a mystery. The room occupied by the reporters at the end of the last session is still in the hands of workmen, with a view to make it as comfortable and convenient as possi ble. These are the only alterations made in their lordships' portion of the Palace of Westminster, except a few more going on in the royal gallery, which suggests the belief that Parliament is• about to be opened by her Majesty in person. The other side of the building affords a fine opportunity to at'- mire the vastness of the hall itself, with the beauti ful stained glass window at the upper end, at d the graceful chandeliers which light it up so brilliantly at night. The Sall of Statues remains precisely as it was. A slight movement has, however, occurred as regards the frescoes intended to adorn this lo cality of the palace. It must have struck the spec tator with wonder on entering the Hall of Statues, and pa-sing through St. Stephen's Hall, to witness the numbercf compartments appropriated yearsthe f,i; haveort 9 hc e a s e s beautiful decorations, and yet f remained so, for with the excepti on of thepassageto ‘ thererhrt tnre of the Mayflower," at the entrance to the H ouse of Lords, not one has been executed. We except those long since placed in the upper hall, leading to the long corridor. On the left;inthe entrance to the lobby of the House of Commons, a movement in this direction has at last taken pl ace ; two frescoes are just completed in this passage, of,the artistic merits of which, how ever, it is impossible to pronounce an opinion, in ` asmuoh as the artist will not allow any one to axe- INDIAN IMPLOVAMENTS. (Front the Civil Service Gazette ) Parliament, when it-meets, will have no lack of employment. Some of the most difficult and dan gerous questions that could possibly be submitted to a legislature for decision will have to be solveti by it off-hand, under pressure of extraordinary emergen cies, and within a period of time-inconveniently cir cumscribed. We need not here recapitulate those niornentOus questions ; they will present themselves to the mind's eye of every reader without the aid of a piorppter. The military revolt in the Ea - ,t, its origin, and the mode of dealing with it ; the mone tary con.v9l4ion at home, its cause and remedy ; how an empire - has been all but lost, and how it can be recovered andltecured ; how the nation has been on the verge of bankruptcy, and how it can he re established in credit and preserved for the future from such extreme peril. These are the main subjects *which - viil claim immediate attention, and which ought to be decid- d only after calm deliberatioteand dispassionate discussion. But there are lesser,' and yet most important, subjects which will also have to be taken -into consideration without a moment's unnecessary delay. One of these is the establish ment of direct communication with India by steam and telegraph, and the extension of tlie system throughout our Eastern-dominions. We havp no hesitation in saying that of all the questions to be debated after the repair of our financial fabric at home, and the restoration of our authority tar the revolted provinces of India, this is the one that demands the promptest determination of Parlia ment. Had the electric telegraph between England and Hiudostan been - perfected, and had the direct lines of railway and steam-boat communication be tween us and our Oriental dominions—lines which have been projected and proved to be not merely practicable but peculiarly easy of execution—been constructed and in working order, what treasures would have been saved, what precious lives would have been spared, what agonies of suspense would have been prevented, what discredit to our mili tary organisation and prestige would have been avoided I Every well-wisher of the Crown in India, every person in England who thinks for a moment on the subject, deplores the want of rapid direct railway and steamvessel transit, and of unbroken telegraphic communication between the seat of Im perial government and the region of rebellion as a dire misfortune, the extent of which it is impossible to estimate. Let the British public imagine how different would have been the course of events dur ing five mournful and humiliating, and, notwith standing all ourvictories,disastrous months, had we an electric messenger to flash intelligence backward and forward from day to day, and had the Euphra tes Valley and the Scinde and Punjaub railways, with their connecting links and ramifications, been in full operation. Time was our greatest enemy ; to overcome time, not the sepoys, was our chief difficulty. But we had neglected the.aits and left unwrought the implements by which time is con quered and made subservient t, empire, and hence our grievous losses, our sore afflictions, our waste of wealth, of character, and of human life. The chances are that had the telegraph been unbroken, and the means of rapidly transmitting troops by a direct route been in existence, the military revolt which has rendered India desolate and shocking to humanity would never have been attempted. Bu t however that be, it must now be impresed an 'all thinking men that one of the first works necessary for the future security and maintenance of our power in India is the construction of a network of railways and telegraphs throughout that country, and the establishment of a direct transit by rail and steamboat, and of telegraph wires betweeln the Ganges, the Indus, and the Thames. When we consider that troops take 24 days, even with forced marches, to get over the distance that they could accomplish by rail in 12 or 18 hours, we can easily comprehend, what has been over and over again asserted by those competent to give an opinion on the point, that 10,000 soldiers having the com mand of railway transit are fully equal in India to three times that number with the existing means of conveyance. Economists should weigh well that fact, and during the forthcoming discussions bear in mind that bloodless prevention is better than sanguinary cure, and that the cost of con structing lines of rail and telegraph is small in com parison to the annual charge of maintaining standing armies three times as numerous as need be. That a well-appointed British - army fresh from England might have been at Lahore a month after the breaking out of the mutiny, had the telegraph been instantaneous, and had the route by the Euphrates Valley and Scinde been available for the transit of troops, cannot be doubted. The rebellion would have been crushed in its infancy before it had time to grow into formidable propor tions, if, indeed, it ever would have dared to show its head at all, and it would have been crushed at a fifth part of the expense whichits suppression will now entail. But the mischief done is past recal ; the neglect committed is beyond revocation. We have paid dearly for our disregard of the most obvious means of multiplying our strength—of imparting to our power a three-fold force—of wielding our arms with a five-fold velocity. It is, however, never too late to mend, and history tells us that it is the invariable practice' of the Anglo-Saxon race out of the nettle " Danger," to pluck the flower " Safety." We therefore hope and anticipate that the British Parliament will immediately and ear nestly take into consideration the necessity of for waroing by all legitimate means the construction of those lines of rail and telegraph which are wanted to connect Central Asia with Europe. The reduc tion of the route by a thousand miles of actual road to be traversed, and the establishment of means of transporting troops, munitions of war, and baggage without limit, and in a fourth or fifth of the time now required, and the perfection of instruments capable of transmitting intelligence and orders al most instantaneously, are surely objects of gr at national importance which the national represen tatives cannot overlook for a single day without failing in their duty to their constituents, and with out culpable neglect of the dearest interests of their country. TII - 11 LEVIATHAN. The following letter has been addressed to a con temporary : Sir,. —Allow me to suggest, through your vale• able paper, what seems to me, as an engineer, a simple means at all events of assisting to Ot the Great Eastern steam-ship into the wafer. What I would propose is, to take advantage of the rise and fall of the tide. I would place a num ber of, say coal barges, side by side with their bows towards the vessel ; the barges I would load with iron or ot'ter heavy material, to the full extent of flotation ; and then, baying erected a framework carrying rollers above the barges and butting on the shore, or on piles driven into the river. I would attach numerous chains to the cradles on which the ship now rests, and lead them over the rollers or drums, and attach them to the baies. The effect will be this—As the tide rises the loaded barges, with many thousand tons in thew, if ro• piked, will rise also, and the slack of the chains being taken up on the tide receding, a pulling ac tion will be brought to bear on the cradles and great ship in the direction of the river, by the lowering of the barges and direction of the chains with an im mense power, and while this action is going on let the hydraulic pressure be applied as already ar ranged, on the other side of the vessel or cradles, and I believe th . mighty vessel will reach the water in safety. Of course, should the vessel show any tendency to run off when once it is started, the check thhe elr thi downdagearveem nsal i oyo s ready,twb ,entered teat) in ae a d nimn s d h et o o nna u a l ae d nianyn i wishedtsudbieoeetrdaitlhs: action ,to as, if any plan of this nature be adopted, the names of Brunel, John Scott Russell, &c., are a suf f icient guarantee for the full carrying out of such plans.
