For want of some assistants of this kind the mighty lightning god of the Times has not realized his own inventions, and the gallant officer of 40 years' standing, who makes the extraordi nary report, rests it on "principles explained to him." It is no doubt the want of these helps, to be obtained by the Government money, which has prevented this extraordinary man from actually constructing one of his batteries, and has compelled him to ex plain its principles to those who are willing to believe. The Times must, however, be aware, that a secret entrusted to a body of workmen is no secret at all, and that the very necessity of help to construct the machine compels this lightning god to share his power. Fortunately for us poor people, it places other individuals on a level with him . Perhaps his secret might kindle in some one a spark of genius which would give even him a master ; but certainly the necessity of help would very speedily give to all countries equal advantages. This new story of the Times, like the wish ing -cap or Jack the Giant-killer's sword, seems nothing better than an idle fable. In the days when there were giants the fate of a community might have depended on a single arm, or a single mind ; but in these days, when there are no giants, not even in quackery or literature, when events are known to march in regular order, and society no more makes irregular jumps than does the moon, the whole marvellous story is a mere ab surdity. To tell us, on the authority of a veteran of 40 years' standing, that such great and wonderful changes can all at once be made, as to annihilate armies at the word of command, and render the strongest mountain•passes untenable—that even the Rock of Gibraltar, bristling with cannon, could not be held for a single hour, is really to make a larger draft on our credulity than ever was drawn by all the pretenders to knowledge, from PA RA CELSUS downwards. If the Times be willing to give up all claim to a proper scepticism, its readers will not follow the example, and become credulous dupes for the sake of indulging in another fling at the Ministry. The following paragraph from the Edinburgh Courant enforces the suggestion we threw eut a Few days ago, as to the sort of persons who should have charge of the locomotive engines on railroads. The recommendation has been also enforced by other Journals, and we presume, therefore, it is likely to have some influence on Railway Directors. The notice will tend,* we apprehend also, to raise the engine-drivers in their own estimation, and make them more cautious and circumspect. The Courant says— Numbers of individuals have already met their fate in those new conveyances ; but in the late accident on the Eastern Railway four individuals have been killed, besides those that have been maimed or otherwise in jured ; and in the late accident on the Hull Railway the fatality was about the same. The chances of escape are indeed small—much less than in the case of a coach accident—the velocity and the concussion being so much greater ; and this is an additional motive for vigilance and care. The late accidents, however, have arisen from the most criminal careless rics ; not in those, probably, who superintend the business of the railway, but in those whom they employ, namely, the drivers of the engines, who have the immediate charge—on the Hull Railroad the fall of some weighty materials which they were carrying interrupted and overturned the train t and on the East ern Railway the recklessness of the driver, who hurried on at the rate of fifty or sixty miles an hour. It is clear, from these accidents, that the safety of passengers de pends on the care of the drivers, and that those to whom is committed so precious a charge,in placeof being ignorant and reckless, as they are proved to be, ought to possess a knowledge of principles, so as to know the nature of the agencies which they are intrusted to manage—to be, in short, men of known character and care, and to be paid in proportion to the importance of the trust - Which they discharge. It is only in this way that the safety of pas sengers can be ensured on railroads. It will not answer to employ mere mechanics in such critical duties. Per sons of more liberal attainments must be found, and the fair price paid for their superior qualities. Some such arrangement is essential to protect passengers from the dangers incident to this rapid mode of travelling ; and unless it be adopted, many will be scared, by the terrific accidents which occur, from ever venturing on the rail road, where there is any other safer mode of travelling. We will iiow add another recommendation, the propriety of which must at once be obvious to every person. The driver ought never to be alone. He should at all times be accompanied, in case of accidents, by a spare driver, equally capable and equally trustworthy with himself. This is a pre caution which needs' only to be mentioned to com mand universal assent. 1 SECOND PART BEETHOVEN'S GRAND BATTLE SINFONIA, By the augmented Band, with instruments of novel construc tion, asd 340 rounds of artillery and musketry, giving the most vivid realization of the events of the Battle of Vittoria.

To be slow of belief is one of the marks of a man of the world. He knows all things, he is never credulous and never surprised. On the contrary, to be always expressing wonder, to have a large and ready capacity for belief, and to be staring with curiosity as if every thing were new, are charac teristics of gobemouches all over the world. We bad hitherto given the Times credit for belonging to the former class, and concluded by its silence aince Thursday, that it was ashamed of the silly trash about a wonderful invention with which it had then polluted its pages, when yesterday our Con temporary published another article on the same subject, showing that, like other monsters, his mon •stous appetite had grown by what it fed on. It is now capable of swallowing a great deal more. Such a mental gullet was never seen in any other individual, always except the officer of 40 years standing, who vouches for all that the Times be lieves. We cannot trust ourselves to give an abridged description of these marvels, and must therefore copy the words of the Times:— The discoveries we have in view are not confined to It single invention applicable to the sole purpose of de struction, as both friends and loPs seem to surmise, but apply to a vast number of naval purposes, superseding altogether every system of naval tactics and ma ncouvres. " In my opinibn," writes this experienced officer, " the merits of these inventions are so extraordinary as to vest the absolute sovereignty of the seas in the hands of the first Power that shall adopt them ; for I am fully convinced that it is impossible for anything that floats to resist them, either at close quarter's or any given dis tance, even to a range of five and six miles. The strongest fortifications in Europe could not w i thstand these extraordinary powers for a single hour ; in river ways and against stockades, as in India, the largest armies would he annihilated without a chance of escape, The readers of The S un d o no t now requ i re to and the m os t diffi cu l t mounta i n passes would be utterly untenable against their operation.

" The haste in which I am writing, and the imper fect manner in which, I have no doubt, I am exprt ssing myself, will account to you for my omitting now to enter on the much greater question of Church Reform. Here, again I s.iy, let us do all that we can do consis tently with our own conscientious conviction that we are making no concession hurtful to the true interests of religion. " Csbould be most happy to hear from you on this great point, to which I am confident your attention must have been anxiously directed. I need hardly as sure you that all mere political considerations, all views of Church preferment, as being subservient to party in terests, are as nothing in my mind compared with the great objects of giving real stability to the Church in its spiritual character ; and that 1 believe enlarged poli tical interests will be best promoted by strengthening the hold of the Church of England upon the love and veneration of the community. " Believe me, my dear Bishop, " Most faithfully your's, " ROBERT PEEL." " In a second note Sir Robert asks— " After providing for the maintenance of the fabric, and the proper performance of all cathedral services, in what mode can the superfluous wealth of cathedrals be made available for the spiritual instruction of the peo ple, with the greatest effect, and the least violation of principle ?',‘ Y think it is impossible to maintain the principle that an office of the church, without corre sponding duties, shad have large emoluments attached to it, while the cure of souls in some populous districts is wholly unprovided for.' " But what sort of a reform is it that Sir Ro- BERT advocated and proposed ? Just such a one as might for the moment appease the enemies of the Church, and enable it to grow and flourish in abuse and corruption more than ever. The reform which he proposed, the Whigs, as the Times says, have accomplished, and nothing more, because the Tories would not permit them ; and they were strong enough to obstruct good works when undertaken by others, though not strong enough to achieve evil themselves. Sir ItosutT was a Church Reformer after the Bishop's own heart ; but a true Church Reformer must reform it after the hearts of the people, and they desire that the Church should be put down that religion may grow up. It is said, too, of the late memorable declara tion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, that " the Duke, instead of enunciating any new principle or decision, had merely re-stated the very principles upon which Sir ROBERT PEEL, the Archbishop, and all the assisting Prelates, had been proceeding from the first." This cannot be true, because the Tories had year after year, for many years, voted large additional sums to the Church ; and instead of making it provide for the spiritual wants of the people out of its own resources, they con tinually complained of their insufficiency, like Sir ROBERT INGLIS, and seize—as in the case of the Weaver Churches—other funds to increase the wealth of the priesthood. The Tories have found out that the people are convinced that the nation has too much Church—that the Church in Ireland and the Church in England are the sources of most of our political privations and disasters—and, as usual, the Tories are trying to slink away from their own principles. The Paris Journals of Monday devote their leading columns to the subject of the memorandum addressed by the Four Powers to France relative to the Treaty of London ; and as it is of consider able importance that their opinions should be known to the people of England, we have taken th e trouble to select copious extracts from them, which will be found in another part of The Sun. All the Ministerial and Court organs, without ex ception, contend—firstly, that the document is not authentic ;_and._... , gmaly,. tt...-(niginal me morandum contained two statements, 'against which M. GUIZOT protested as being untrue. The first objection may, possibly, be well founded Till the document is given to the work by the express authority of one or other of the Great Powers it would not be, becoming, on the part of public journalists like ourselves, to assume as incontrovertible every syllable of the contents of a copy surreptitiously obtained, when protested against by the Government in possession of the original. Not that individually we entertain any doubt of the accuracy of the memorandum, as already published. Baron BuLow, to whom is imputed the instrumentality of its appearance in the newspapers, is not the man to expose himself to the certainty of being convicted of the interpo lation of State Papers. But the French Govern ment having asserted that the published memo• randum is inaccurate, and being, moreover, aware that an authorized copy must be given to the world at a no very distant day, we are content to waive all further controversy upon this head. This re spect for the character of the Press, not less than for the French Government, exacts from us. But we cannot so readily admit that the second state ment of the French Journals is deserving of being equally leniently dealt with. On the contrary, the bare supposition that the Four Powers combined in the concoction of a lie, to the prejudice of France, is monstrous. We will not go so far as the Standard, and assert that M. THIERS is not so worthy of being believed on his solemn word as Lord PALMERSTON ; but there is as little doubtful as there ought to . be offensive to the French Minister in maintaining that his bare word is worth very little when balanced against the written decla rations of the Plenipotentiaries of the Four Powers. We arrive at this conclusion from no particular re gard for the individual character of one or other of them. We will readily grant that any individual Minister might possibly either unconsciously or wilfully misrepresent a fact ; but we cannot adm that four Statesmen, representing four great nations, could unite in the manufacture of an egregious and useless falsehood, which they knew could be dis proved as soon as uttered. But we need no argu ments where facts speak out 'so plainly. We have only to point to the note signed by Admiral bous six and the diplomatic body at Constantinopl e , to expose the apostacy of the French Cabinet, and to demonstrate the little credit which ought to be at tached to the imputations cast upon the Metnoran dum of the Four P owers : The Presse c h arges t h e Ministry with having s s a o t m i oen between hand i n Loutst he fabrication PHILIPPEof and a allegedn t h e A c u o s n t rivearn and Prussian Ministers, which first appeared in the Univers, and was copied into The Sun of Monday. As the Presse has some influence at Court, and was the pet of the Ministry up to the date of its exposure of the nefarious doings on the Bourse, we make no apology for publishing here its defence of the Sovereign:— We know that M. Thicrs has for some days past been endeavouring to throw the responsibility of his policy upon the King. Europe has no confidence in M.

Meantime the firing of musketry and cannon was heard on all sides, and the Masafran Xebec, stationed in the port, brought to at a short distance from the coast, and di rected its force against the Arabs.

Cnuacx EXTENSION.—We quoted en Monday a paragraph, which showed that in Glasgow the unlet sittings of the churches are rapidly and progressively increasing, in fact, while the priests are demanding more and more money from the nation, the people are separating more and more from them, and-coming to disregard, not to say despise, them. The priests have made common cause with the Tories, who are the avowed enemies of the people, and they are treated as Tories. They support Corn-laws, they teach submis sion to oppression, they declare that ►t is contrary to God's laws for mca to throw off slavery, and the people are throwing them off for their slavish doctrines. The people are setting up a political religion of their own, and establishing their own churches. Here is an ex planation, borrowed from the Glasgow Argue, of the cause of unlet sittings in the Glasgow Churches : " CHARTIST CHURCHES.—One of the most remark able features of Chartism, in this part of the country, is the number of places of worship which are opening in the various localities where their numerical strength is greatest. They have sermon regularly bn Sabbaths in Glasgow, Hamilton, Lanark, Paisley, Greenock, Eagle sham, Kilbarchan, and other towns in the neighbour hood, and in all these places lay-preachers officiate by turns. They regularly baptise children, and we under stead that the sacrament was to have been dispensed by them yesterday in the town of Kilbarchan. The Chartist Churches are founded, not upon any religious, but upon a political principle, and are therefore, in the strictest sense of the term, political Churches." CHINA. 'We have received by the Aden, Captain Ponsonby, arrived at Plymouth, a Canton Press of the 25th of April. The following are the only pieces of intelli gence which it contains : " There is a rumour come from Canton to the effect that it is the intention of Governor Lin, in case the T Ztiglish should attack the Bogue, to destroy the -solaurlas of Canton, and to put the city itself in a state of defence. The city of Canton is surrounded by a wall ten feet high, with stnall tuttetiat short and equal distances, without ditches or any other works of defence ; in fact it is, to European art, an open town. The suburbs of Canton contain a population probably larger than that enclosed within the walls, and their lives are by far the most important, being the roost industrious portion of the inhabitants. All the foreign trade, and the manufactories, the warehouses, Sze., that supply it, arc in the suburbs, and we can therefore give but little credit to a rumour, according to Which one half of an immense population is to be sacrificed in order to increase the very doubtful safety of the rest. "An edict has been issued by the Canton autho rities regarding the now port regulations, according to which no ship is allowed to enter the Bogue without having previously sent her papers to Can ton, and received thence the necessary per mission to proceed to Whampoa. This new law can not fail to be in some degree embarrassing to newly arrived ships, to which loss of time is a matter of the utmost importance. We hear that this edict has al ready been acted upon, and that several vessels lately arrived from Manila are now waiting outside for their permission from Canton to enter the river. .• We have happily nothing to record. The dreaded Commissioner from Canton has not arrived, and the only trouble occasioned by the Mandarins is their delay ing the entrance of ships under various pretences. Most of the individuals who during the late disturbance have been seized, of whom the number is immense, are pro mised their freedom on the payment of a sum of money. (From the Pain G'azette.) NAvv.---A number of Naval officers, stationed on the coast of Fokien and Che Keang, have been de nounced for neglect of their duty in not seizing pirates. His Majesty, however, very graciously allows them three months time, if they are able to encompass this object within that time they will be reinstated in their offices. The accusation, however, is not explicit as to the extent of buccaniering." The private advices Sy the Aden state that the con signees of the American vessels remaining at Canton had given notice that they would not bring down any more tea for transhipment ; they would, they added, only remain to complete the cargoes of their vessels, and then wind up their affairs. The British ships were loading teas under the Danish flag. Freights ranged from 61. to 8/. per ton ;in some instances 9/. had been paid. The exports of tea from China to Great Britain dur ing the year were variously estimated at from 25,000,0001 b. to /30,000,0001b5. FUNERAL OF THE BISHOP OF CHICHESTER —We extract from the Brighton Gazette the following account of the conduct of the Clergy on the occasion of D. Otter's funeral :_« Loud were the complaints of the noisy o i people at th e manner i n w hi ch they had been treated, re flecting on t h e Bishop ' s memory, the character of the Clergy, and on the authorities under whose st u pid or d ers the polic e had atter].

Various were the conjectures. Some thought the police over-acted their part. Others said it was all the Mayor's doing to conciliate the Clergy. While others declared Mr. Freeland had the entire management of the funeral aid was glad of the opportunity afforded to degrade the new police. We give no opinion on the matter. Though we think there were persons connected with the Cathedral who thought to make& harvest of the poor old Bishop's fune ral by charging for seats in the choir to witness the cere mony. It was said, again and again, an application to one of the vergers would ensure admission and a scat. But we are pleased to know that the people liked their move) better than to bribe the menials of the Church. Hence all the empty pews while the people were without. We have seen three or four times the number congregated to witness the funeral of a popular Dissenting minister in this neighbourhood, where no public officers were needed to keep the people quiet. What strange notions have the Clergy of this city of their congregations. Were we Church of Engl an d men, we should feel ourselves insulted , o i f ro t n he g gates, by their conduct on this occasion.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. - BRISTOL, MONDAY, Auo. 31.—This day having been appointed for the opening to the public of the line between this city and Bath, the morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells, firing of cannon, &c., and at an early hour thousands of per sons had assembled in the neighbourhood of the terminus and on the elevated point in its neighbourhood, for the purpose of witnes,ing the departure of the first train. At about a quarter after eight o'clock the Fireball steamer proceeded with the first train, consisting of three first-class and three second-class carriages, with about 306 pas sengers. The distance between the two termini occupied 35i minutes, tho engineers having been instructed to pro ceed in the first instance with caution, numerous workmen being still employed in finishing off the work at several portions of the lute. In tile course of the day twenty trips were made, and upon nearly every occasion the carriages were completely filled ; indeed the rush for tickets at the Bath station for the twehe and one o'clock trains was tremendous, and hats, bonnets, &C., were da iraged in the confusion. One of the engines performed the distance i❑ 23 minuses. The first mail - from the south brought by th e railway, arrived here a fee minutes before nine o'clock on Monday morning.

The following notice was posted at the North and South American Coffce-house, this morning : " Southampton, Sept. 1. " In consequence of up-train running off the rails, and ploughing into the sand at Weybridge. the down train was unable to pass, and was detained an hour and a-half. This made it late before we reached Southamp ton. The British Queen, precisely at seven o'clock, was under weigh for New York, having on board 100 cabin passengers, 950 packages of fine goods, and 20,000/. in specie. The evening is singularly delightful, and the,, young moon holds out her half-iliuminated lamp to light the Queen through the Needles. The ship is in fine order, and promises to make a speedy passage, an object most desirable, considering the number of passengers, and great value of the cargo—the largest ever taken out in a steam-ship, excepting that by the P,csiaent." Considerable consternation was created in the court circle, on the afternoon of Sunday last, immediately upon the return of her Majesty and Prince Albert to the Castle, from attending the evening service at bt. George's Chapel, in consequence of the splendid diamond pin, which was presented by her Majesty to his Royal High ness on the anniversary of his birth-day on Wednesday last, having been discovered by the Prince to be missing from his cravat, where it had been placed by his Royal Highness a short time before he left for St. George's. Messengers, by the command of her Majesty, were imme diately despatched to the chapel to make the necessary in quiries after the lost jewel, which was of the value of 100 guineas, but without success. The carriage, in which her Majesty and the Prince rode back to the castle, was then visited by one of the Lords in Waiting at the Royal mews, in Sheet-street, but with the like result. Later in the evening, however, the Prince, still feeling confident that the pin was previously in his cravat, several of the Castle domestics were commanded to proceed again to the chapel with candles and lanterns, there to renew their search. The chapter-room, the Royal closet, and the passage through which her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort proceeded to the carriage on their return to the Castle, were most carefully examined, but no discovery was made of the birthday present. On the return of the exploring party, their ill success was immediately corn. Inunicated to the Queen, who appeared to feel greatly an. noyed and disappointed. Early th e next morningsoon after day-break, a third search was made, at the ex press command of her Majesty ; b ut t h e Queen, for the third time, was doomed to be disappointed. When the Queen which the concourse Royal party of persons passed and the Prince left the ch a p e l on Sunday afternoon, there wasthrough an h immense ich awaiting carriages, r at ri the door ages, and g it was feared that, i n t h e pushing and crowding, and in the rush to catch a g li mpse of the Queen, which then took place, the swell mob, who had speculated et on a Sunda y o to Wi n d sor, might have Prince to h ave d eprived him of thegot near enough Y o tt gift of t the e , Queen. On T ues d ay morrnin however,soon i after her Majesty h a d breakfasted the : . rl ' adtidirg; were conveyed to the Queen that the lost jewel had been recovered unin jured. It was discovered on the floor of the painting room by a man i n the upholstery department, named Mar tin. Up on i ts b eing brought to the Queen, her Majesty (her ey es b eam i ng with delight) plaerd it, with her own hands, in the bosom of the Prince. It appears that his Royal Highness, just previously to his leavir4 the Castle to proceed to St. George's Chapel with her Majesty, had visited the painting•room for a few minutes, where it must have fallen born his cravat. Thus ends the " eventful history" of the birth-day present.

The press first ridiculed 111 x; and now they began to scold. He was glad o f it ' • the i might continue as long as they pleased, for the repc a ; cry had now spread too widely, and had .been taken ur, too energetically, to be put down by any abuse, howe/ c. violent.
