Sir Herbert Jenner Fast resigned, In conformity with the arrangements made opening a special train consisting of fifteen carriages drawn by two engines, one of which was driven by Mr. See, left the Sheffield station, on Monday for Manchester. The first carriage contained the excellent band of the South West Yorkshire Yeomanry Cavalry, and the remainder contained the Directors and their friends who had been invited to the celebration, to the number of about one hundred and fifty. The weather through out the day was exceedingly wet and uncomfortable, which of course detracted considerably from the pleasure of the proceedings. The train left the Sheffield station in Bridghouses, at eight minutes past ten o'clock, and after stopping at the Wortley and Penistone stations, arrived at the mouth of the tunnel shortly before eleven o'clock. After a brief delay the engine stationed at the place with two immense lights at the head, was attached to the train, and then entered upon its subter ranean journey, which occupied exactly ten minutes. Upon their emerging into daylight the occupants of the train gave a hearty huzza. After a stoppage at Wood head of twenty-five minutes the train was again in motion at twenty-five minutes to twelve o'clock, and after several short stoppages it reached the station in Store-street, Manchester, at twenty-two minutes past twelve o'clock. The time fixed for the starting of the train upon its return to Sheffield, was a quarter past one, but it did not leave Manchester until nineteen minutes beyond that time. The number of passengers on returning was considerably augmented. At Dinting the train stopped for a few minutes and the greater portion of the passen gers alighted and walked a short distance from the line to obtain a view of the immense viaduct with its thirteen arches at that place. After being also slightly delayed at several of the stations, the train reached the Woodhead mouth of the tunnel at twenty-five minutes to three -:- -- _....... K ccueors. . o'clock.

GAF; EXPLOSION.— e n explosion from the ignition Li gas took place in London Row, Edinburgh, on Saturday night week. The flooring of the house was splintered and, torn up in many places, the outer-d oor bl own out and a:livered to pieces, the plaster and lathing of the roof broken and dislodged, and the window in the adjoining apartment entirely destroyed. The stair which led to thu upper rooms was rent down and shaken from the walla, and parts of the door and windows violently projected to, and breaking the windows of the houses on the other side of the street. Several persons were severely injured. ANTE•OFFICIAL DINNER.—We understand that the Lord Advocate—we beg his pardon, Mr. Rutherford , M.P. for Leith —entertained his political friends at din ner on Saturday, to celebrate the return of himself and friends to office ! Whether this proceeding was justifie d by the circumstances is a ques ti on w hi c h we nee d no t now discuss ; but it is right to mention, as in some de gree excusing Mr. R., that the honourable and learned gentleman is understood to have received a despatch during the forenoon prom head-quarters, which fully en titled him to expect his official commission on Monday et latest. It was no fault of his, therefore, that his weapon missed fire on this occasion.—Edinburgh Paper. Mr. BUSFIELD FERRAND, M.P.—On Tuesday evening last, the Hon.

INCOME TAX AND VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTTONsi It will be remembered that a statement has gone. I CU rot nd of the papers, that clergymen and dissenting m uil ters, who derive their incomewholly from the contribution of their hearers, were nut liable to make' 00, any return of their incomes for the purposes of the r_. perty tax act, which statement was made upon the autptit rite of Mr. Pressly, of the Stamps and Tax Office' no t now, however, appears that the commissioners do. - di, consider such an opinion a valid one; and that the in ted victuals whose cases were alluded to, are not ese" from Lhe liability of making a return of the their incomes, from whatever source they IT be derived.

All shades of grey are fashionable en neglige, particularly pearl grey, iron grey, and taupe. The make of dresses varies but little, always high bodies for the manning ; evening cor sages are still light and pointed. A pretty style of trim ming is a plat of two shades of the colour of the dress edg ingthe reveas of both body and skirt ; these little plats will also be used on dresses of thin materials for evening wear on white crape, or sky blue, or on crape lisse.

Wreaths ala Ceres, a la Ninon, a l'lsabeau, with couronnes Rachel and Pamela, are the fashionable coiffures ; they are all made with waxed leaves instead of velvet, being lighter. Pelisses la Valliere, Manteaux, Bayard, and Fouliere, are all in favour ; the Andalon.se is also pretty, a kind of demi-montelet, ge nerally made of black or deep blue velvet richly ma i with gimp; the form is , gant and calculated to show the dress. A new form of bonnet, less open at the sides than the Pamela, are talked of. Velvet bonnets of the beaver colour are very fashionable, ornamented with feathers of the same colour, or with several small ones, sometimes mixed with the colour of the lining, pink or cerise. Lice is again being used on the edge of bonnets ; on white bonnets the lace is point d'Angleterre ; on black, green, or ruby velvet, it is fine black lace ; these are ornamented with an aigrette on ostrich feather on a lappet of black lace instead of ribbon. THE POTATOE DISESE We take tF L e following from Dr. Buckland's lecture from which we have preciously made extracts : " Much good will result from evil, if this year's scarcity of potatoes compels the Irish peasant to labour for and feel the want of some better kind of food than the same roots on which he feeds his hogs. He will begin to advance in the scale of civilization as soon as he begins to eat the grain of wheat and barley, oats and rye. The English cottager, too, may learn to use patato-jelly, of whizh a large mess may be made in one minute with boiling water and potato-flour ; (which is potato-starch, e arrow-root, and worth from Bd. to 12d. a pound). t him use this jelly one day, sweetened with coarse together with brown bread or barley ugar or treacle, cakes, and the nest day eat oatmeal-porridge and potted potatoes, with little or no bread for his family meals. He may learn, also, the value of cakes, puddings, and dumplings, made of equal parts of potato-flour or ground- and of oatmeal or barley-Meal, or the flour of wheat, or beans, or peas—all these may be boiled or broiled, or baked or fried with hog's lard, like fried potatoes, and would be a cheap and pleasing change for less nourisbing white bread and boiled potatoes, with but little trouble. Such a change would be a God-send to our present miserable cottaae-cookery. Sweetened potato-jelly would also be a cheap and pleasant change for tea; I take it daily for breakfast. " if your seed runs short, potatoes can be grown from cuttings, taken off six inches long, planted i❑ rowe with out bruising, and watered till they take root. Those who have saved the apples of the potatoe, may sow the seed they cont'in, and raise new sort. Potatoes should no be kept in bed-rooms—they occasion fevers even in the house. who can afford to d scarce and dear by and not —ingly All persons should use them r, F _ o so, to present their becoming very and bye; and all who have low rate in the spring, especially for seed.
