The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for direct comm b e t we en London and all the great seaports in Hollanduuatiun ie n B e l g ium, and thence to the northern and c entral parts of and continent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a' saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com. pletion without a break. The harbour of Tiarwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of the Humber. 33 3 7 the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth ?the Rive r Th ames ar e avoided, where b y a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 toll hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the Harwich part sa R of Euro 'pe is four hours and a quarter less by otterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular s tatement, and thus the former must become the direct o_fopostal communication.

PROSPECTUS. _ _ _ The numerous and extensive robberies which have been recently effected constitute a new era in the annals of crime, both as regards the value of the property stolen, and the secrecy with which the burglaries have been accomplished, and against which all ordinary means of security are ap parently of no avail. The modern thief and housebreaker sets at defiance the most approved lock, the best constructed iron safe, the strongest fastenings, and the most vigilant watching ; so that the property of bankers, jewellers, and other important establishments, the occupants of hotels, the commercial warehouse and the private residence, are alike accessible to his reckless skill. Happily the ingenuity of the age is as fertile in defensive as in aggressive measures ; and however singular the proposal to establish a company for the prevention of burglary and fire may at first appear, a calm consideration of the various useful and novel purposes to which the discoveries of science are now applied will dispel much of the wonder that may be felt at such a proposition, and a cnrscry examination of the very simple, yet highly ingenious and efficacious invention ' the general use of which it is proposed to carry out through the instrumentality of a Joint-Stock Company, will convince the most sceptical that scientific means are capable of being easily and successfully applied to the protection of both life and property. Before going further into the matter, and (on account of the startling nature of the proposition) to propitiate the mind of the reader, the promoters beg to call attention to extracts from many daily and weekly London newspapers, published within the last few weeks, which may be obtained, with the prospectuses, at the Offices, to show the opinion entertained by the Press of the invention in question ; nor is such opinion confined to the Press alone, for scientific men, of the highest standing, have equally borne testimony to its merits. The adoption by the public generally of this invention amounts almost o a positive certainty, and must in consequence, in a pecuniary point of view, insure results highly remunerative to the Shareholders. The invention is most efficient, inexpensive, and simple. Its operation cannot be better described than in the worth of the Illustrated London News :—" It consists of a small spring, concealed in every door, window, shutter, or desk, to which it may be thought proper to apply it; and it -is so arranged-that when any attempt at burglarious entry, - or even of tampering with a Jock, is made, an electric current is com pleted, which causes an alarum-bell to ring in the bedroom of the master of the house. In the day-time the current can be shut off by merely turning a handle." It also affords a timely and effectual warning against firs. In the event of more than ordinary heat being generated in any part of a house, or on board ship, a warning will instan taneously be given by the Alarum, and an Indicator will point to the word " Fire." Upon premises left at night an Alarum may be fixed on the top of the building connected with every nook, corner, door, shutter, window, &c., and upon the occurrence of unusual heat, or any attempt to cuter, this powerful Alarum will immediately arouse the whole neighbourhood. For attaining the objects before adverted to, for detecting the attempts of prisoners to effect their escape, for guarding game preserves (however far removed from gamekeepers' lodges), giving timely notice of undue beat generating fire in Government and private depots, arsenals, warehouses, &c., this invention has no parallel. It is as nearly certain of general adoption as the gas now burning in our crowded streets. The way in which the invention is intended to be applied to public use is, as before stated, both simple and cheap. The occupier may, at his option, either purchase the appa ratus, or pay the Company a small annual sum for the use of it. Arrangements have been made with the proprietors of the patent for the transfer of the same, together with the models, &c., &c., to the Comp any. o carry this out, and to afford an ample margin for duly working the patents and inventions, it is proposed to esta blish a Joint-Stock Company, under the Limited Liability Act, with a capital of 100,000/., in 50,000 shares, of 2/. each. Upon an estimate that only a very moderate numbor of houses in London and throughout the country will use the apparatus, at a minimum rent of 21. 2s. per enmum, and upon careful calculations made, it is estimated that, at the end of the first year's operations, a dividend of 15 co 20 per cent. will be paid to the Shareholders. In addition, the use of the apparatus in ships, to give no tice of nudue heat, spontaneous combustion, &c., and the other sources of income above referred ta, and various use ful purposes to which the invention can be applied, such as an alarum in shops, and for domestic purposes, arc calcu lated to produce a further con s id era bl e increase of duty. A large number o 7 the shares have been already applied for. Applications for prospectuses and for the limited number of shares remaining to be issued may be made to the Brokers, Messrs. Ballantine and Read, No. 4, Austin-friars, London ; or to the Secretary, 25, Poultry ; or the Solicitors, 7, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square. Applicants will be required to pay the sum of 10s. per share on the shares applied t ) the Bankers of the Company, or to the Secretary, for which they will give a proper receipt, which amount will be retained on account of the shares allotted. The remaining 11. 10s. per share will be called for after the Certificate of Incorporation bas been obtainel In the event of less than the whole number applied for being allotted, the amount paid in excess will be repaid ; should no allotment bo made to the applicant, the money lodged with the Bankers will be forthwith returned.

Thesiger, Mr. Bovill, Q.e 7 ;Vcl Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. FAiwiti.T.i:4, Q. 0., •Mr. Hindmarch, and Mr. Manisty for the defendant. - The plaintiff in this action, Maximilian Louis Chollet, was a Frenchman carrying on business'in Paris, and he sued the defendant, Hoffmann, the agent of a house at Frankfort, to recover damages for the infringement of a patent granted to' Etienne Masson on the 12th of Nov., 1850. The patent in question was for "improvements in the preparation of certain vegetable alimentary sub stances for the • provisioning of ships and armies, and other purpoies where the said substances are required to be preserved." The plaintiff sued as Masson's assignee. The defendant pleaded a number of pleas, the chief being one denying the novelty of the invention. Sir F. Thesiger, in opening the case to the jury, said the action was brought to recover damages for the in fringement of a patent granted in November, 1850, to a Frenchman named Masson. The defendant, Hoffmann, was an agent of a Frankfort house, who imported articles into this country, which professed to be made under an other patent, granted five years after Masson's patent, but which was identical withthose made under Masson's patent. The learned counsel said he felt bound to call the attention of the jury to the mode in which the de fendant had prepared for his defence. He was re quired by the Act of Parliament not only to plead his defence, but also to give specific notice of the grounds of his objet ions ; and as to Masson not being the true and first inventtr he gave notice of two other patents and ' the names of 24 persons in trade who had sold such ar ticles before Masson's patent. That had rendered it in cumbent upon the plaintiff's attorney to go about in the trade to make inquiries, and the result of those ix qu:ries the jury would hear. Only on Thursday last the defendant had obtained leave to amend his notice, which he did by striking out 20 or 24 names, and ad ding eight others ; and he also added three other pa tents to his previous list. The object of the improve ments now to be laid before the jury was that of preserv ing provisions and making them easy of transport. That was the general idea, and approximated to what Masson had in his mind, though the application of his invention was not so limited. Masson was gardener to the Cen tral Horticultural Society in Paris, and he sold his pa tent to Chollet, the plaintiff. A patent was taken out in 1850, but it was not till the beginning of 1851 that the plaintiff introduced it into England. It was exhi bited at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and obtained the approbation of the judges, who awarded a prize medal, considering it to be an invention of great novelty and utility. At fir.t the trade slighted it and ridiculed it ; but its merits it length became se apparent that it was now in the greatest use not only by the Government of this country, but also by many foreign governments. It was adopted in the navy and in emigrati .n vessels, and to such an extent was it u• , ed in the campaign of the Crimea that n 1 fewer than 800,000,000 rations of the preserved vegetables were sent out and consumed there. The method in which Masson treated succulent vege tables was this :—He caused them to be desiccated by exposure to heated air, and then placed them on wicker . shelves, where they were dried ; and then, by means of hydraulic pressure, he reduced them to the smallest compass, so that they became, as it were, airtight. In that state they might be preserved years, and yet the _ vegetables, when dressed, were of precisely the same character as before ; the vegetables possessed the same nutritive quality, and even the sane appearance, with t. the ex taneeliegienathat . jg is Ads 7 au t in- e. learned counsel exhibited to the jury a cake of vegetables ' tour inches square and a quarter of an inch thick, which when dressed would form rations of vegetables for five persons. Ile also exhibited another cake, 61b. in weight, and which appeared to be about one foot square and an inch and a half thick, which the learned counsel said would form rations for 145 persons. The cake at present was hard and dry, but when dressed it would come out like vegetables dressed for dinner ; and the learned c rur - set added that he had given directions that some of it should be dressed in the course of the inquiry for the satisfaction of the jury. (Laughter.) Mr. James suggested that an aitchbone of beef should be added. (Laughter.) Sir F. Thester said Masson's invention consisted of the combination of desiccation and compression, result ing in an article entirely new. He understood that the plaintiff was threatened with hops and tobacco, which were compressed, but the jury would recollect that that was for the purpose of stowage merely. Lord Campbell instanced hay, which was compressed for the same purpose. Sir F. Thesiger—And cotton. The defendant would also refer to the case of dried fruit, figs and raisins. Masson's process was one combined of drying or desic cating the article and compressing it ; and that process had never been practised before Masson had taken out his patent. Mr. James here observed that the question was whe ther the plaintiff c mid prevent everybody from doing what they bad done before. Sir F. Thesiger said he would undertake to prove that Warneky's patent, on which the defendant would rely, was identical with the plaintiff's. The plaintiff manu factured his cakes in France, because he was able to do it•there more cheaply than he could in England. The deed of assignment executed by the patentee to the plaintiff, on the 28th of March, 1855, was then put in. Mr. James at once took the objection that the plain tiff could not sustain the action without proving that the assignment had been registered in " The Register of Proprietors," as required by the Patent Law Amend ment Act, 1852. The 35th section of the statute (the 15th and 16th Victoria, cap. 83) enacted that there should be kept in the office for filing specifications in Chancery a book entitled "The Register of Proprietors," in which shall be entered the assignment of any patent, &c. ; that certified copies of such entries shall be prima fade proof of assignment of such letters p atent ; provided always that until such entry shall have been made the grantee or grantees of the letters patent shall be deemed and taken to be the sole and exclusive proprietor, or proprietors, of such letters patent." Lord Campbell said that, but for the proviso, he should have thought the section was merely directory. Mr. James said there was a plea which raised this question, that the patent was not duly assigned. His learned fr.end (Mr. Hinrimareh), who had considered the point, felt confident the objection was a good one. Sir F. Thesiger, who appeared quite astonished at the objection, said it had not been taken in Chancery, and endeavoured to get over it, but Lord Campbell said he was afraid the objection wad a fatal one. Mr. James said the trial would be a good advertise ment. Lord Campbell then directed the plaintiff to be called. Sir F. Thesiger objected to be nonsuited, and said there must be a verdict, and added "I appeal." Lord Campbell thereupon directed the jury to find a verdict for the defendant upon the issue as to the assignment, and discharged the jury from giving any verdict as to the other issues. Sir F. Thesiger then explained that he had declined to be nonsuited, having in view the proceedings that would be taken in the Court of Chancery. This sudden termination of a trial which was ex pected to last nearly the whole day caused a consider able amount of merriment to some and disappointment to others in court. The jury, having thus seen the plaintiff tripped up before their eyes, withdrew from the box, apparently wondering at the "glorious uncer tainty of the law, but probably not unwilling to forego a taste of Masson's patent vegetables in favour of those cooked in foro domestic °. the T hdiesfs:adsa defendant. and a ge.

The isor d only m twocases in the paper being thetadieposedef, inquired of Mr. James wlsether be re pented of the course he had taken, and said that if the defendant would admit the assignment he would try the csue to-day.

A 4 _ .., o la, c a lock d descended at 6 o'clock this near the pit, wane up to dinneor, t t h hem, who reside to partake of that meal in the' pit . Shortly rest remaining after wards a fearful explosion occurred - which shookthe ground for a great distance around, lN 1 2 the frame in which the corves de'cend was blown an up and lodged in the gearing abov e the pit-mouth. shaft Numbers of menfrom neighbo-uringcolliei•sfloel,ed to render assistance, and up to 7 o'clock a ro - e had been drawn up alive, some of them Mostq seriously injured ; this left 142 men remaini ng i n the pit to almost certain death. The interior of the pit was set on fire by the explosion, and tho flames having spread with such rapidity as, it is feared, to cut off all chance of reaching that part of the pit where the 142 men are supposed to, be. Some idea of the fearful nature of the fire may be gathered when we state that the flames ascending up the air -shaft, 220 yards d'-,ep, reach more than 20 yards above the top, illuminating the country for a distance around. Telegraphic messages have been sent to Sheffield and this place for a number of fire-engines, some of which have now arrived. The cause of the explosion is as yet involved in mystery. The overlooker states that when be went round the pit before the day men descended this morning all was then perfectly safe. PURTHER PARTICULARS. The fire began to blaze from the air-shaft about 4, o'clock, and sent up an immense number of sparks and pieces of burning wood, which had a terr;ble appearance. About 7 o'clock the pro prietors and managers of the pit hgd ..nonference, to cfnr up olio moults ofthe — arbrking shafts with planks and (artb, as tbe-only way of stopping the draught up the air-mine.and subduing the fire. The plan was attended with partial suc cess, and about half-past 8 o'clock the flames ceased to ascend above the surface of the ground. Previous to this several miners had entered the pit, and penetrated some distance alony , the main tramway, but found the workings so full of sulphur as to preclude all entrance into them. The stop pings by which the workings were ventilated had been blown down, and the greatest havoc made with the works generally, so that there is not the slightest expectations of any of the miners who are yet in the pit being rescued alive. Twelve or thir teen dead bodies were picked up in the main tram ways, and carried to the bottom of the shaft, but it was found so urgent that the mouths of the pit should be closed, that they were allowed to remain there. Several of the miners taken out alive are dangerously injured. The pit has only been in work two years, and was considered one of the best-ventilated mines for miles around. It is supposed that a fall in some part of the works has led to the explosion. It is expected that some days will elapse before the fire will be sufficiently extinguished to permit the pit to be entered. THE EASTERN STEAM NATIGATION COMPANY. At a meeting of this company, held yesterday, Mr. Hope presiding, the report and accounts were adopted. With respect to the progress of the ves sel it was stated that it is expected to be so far completed as to allow of its being launched in Au gust, when a trial trip is contemplated. A length ened discussion took place regarding the difficulties encountered and the efforts made to meet them. Several shareholders complained of the long arrears of calls, and desired information concerning the amount likely to be ultimately recovered. It was explained that of the 192,0001. about 64,0001. is considered good, and that legal proceedings will be resorted to for obtaining payment. Included in tho arrears are the calls due from Mr. Scott Russell, the late contractor, who held a considerable number of shares, while other parties have also become in solvent and unable to meet their engagements. The directors will take measures for forfeiting shares, but in adopting this course will not abandon their right to sue for the payment of calls. During the debate a misapprehension arose with regard to the amount which will be required to complete the ves sel, Mr. Brunel, the et,gitieer, stating that 100,0001. will be an approximate estimate, which the re sources of the company can supply. One of the retiring direc' ors differed from this opinion, and asserted that 60,0001. or 70,0001. further capital will be required to put the vessel to sea in condition. further the : di : . c oth ß lai r ty u e u hm e e l l t h mi oa meant tnlhteetttd directors the riemc tpolyrs meeting,twhe that te teh i me t pwooarwsi original ( nominal capital would be stitlieflifit.
