The very sim plicity of the -arrangement renders it ant to be undervalued - by the ctirsory* observer ; but its importance being -easily illustrated, we cannot but feel amazed that an invention at once so simple and valuable, should .not long ago have been in use. Collisions, the uncoupling of carriages, fire, rpbberies, and assaults, the breaking of wheels or springs, persons falling or leaping from the train in motion, the sudden illness of a passenger, and any other occurrence in or - outside the train requiring the attention of the officials, might, by this invention, be either antici pated or instantaneously detected, so an, more or less, to prevent serious -consequences. In the shunting of carriages at stations, especially at the • principal goods stations, where so many lives are sacrificed in performing that operation, the value of this apparatus would be most manifest. It might be supposed that these reflectors would prove _useless a,t night, or in fogs and heavy storms of rain and snow-and - even were it so, this would only be a partial drawback, and no' - argument against such -a simple application in ordinary weather ; but Mr: GRANT, the ingenious inventor, is prepared to meet even these diffi, 'oulties. Why 'hare these railway, reflectors not received fair ttial ? Is it not the' fact that as a systeT there has never been a serious effort on any line to proVe the practical value of the invent lion? The Matter has been repeatedly pressed. Upon the attention of several teams, by the in 'qntot, during the last two years without success. The nature of the difilculties thrown out by the 'nincials shows pretty clearly that there is :really ,nn disporaionlo give the improvement_fair play.._ The of applying the reflectors : would, not be great matter, but to make them really useful, it is Reobable some additional assistance would be rso.lred in the guards department. Is it possible that this last difficulty is one of. the obstacles 'Which have .hitb.erto been .insurmountable-? . ,We 'are perfectly aware that many attempts have been 'made to apply reflectors to 'trains, Without success; but why not try Mr. pRANt's Is it , any excuse that he is a poor man e. in humble circumstances, and unable to bring money and 'influential Connection . to bear vindicating the merits of his invention ? Are the professional engineers of our great lines so jealous of their dignity, that they dare not allow . them selves to report favourably of a valtiable'schemd' for the prevention of accidents, because it has not. been originated in their own chambers?, > is the , genius of a respectable mechanic to be - deSPised,. and the, lives, of the lieges to be set at nought, lest .the importance of wellpaid professienals, should be ditninished?.. Let our railway directors ' take a' hint, and see to it that their interests in, this, respect are not being sacrificed by the short-sightedness and red-tipeism of their professional servants. The history of Mr. GRANT'S attempts to introduce his invention t© one great Railway .Company, is in Many . l'espects remarkable, and at another time we may:: , go a little into details which will astonish our reader s .

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE, '(FROM OUR OWN 'CORRESPOND E N T.) PARIS, Wednesday, Sept. 26. The report that immediate possession was to be taken 'of Sicilyby a6orps.of 5 . ,000 Piedmontese troops, of which I spoke ins my yesterday's letter, not in opposition to the authority of the King of Naples, but to that of Gari bAdi, appears unfortunately. .to be confirmed, - so far as't have 'been able to ascertain. It could only be conduct 'of the ,mast imprudent description on the part. of the :Dictator 'which would justiy such a step ; and if it be, `Carried into effect, it is really impossible to foresee all lhe eonsegitences of such a disastrous proceeding. It is also stated that the Sardinian Government has inter- dieted, in the most absolute terms, all further enrolment of volunteers for Garibaldi. It would 'Would be well if this circumstance were known in 'lngland and Scotland, for I question whether many of Ili3; spirited and enthusiastic countrymen, who are con 'tinning to . fly to the standard of the Dictator, would be so anxious to enrol themselves among his volunteers, if , there was a chance of their being called upon not to fight 'against Naples or Austria and for Italian unity and - Victor Emmanuel, but against Italian , unity and 'Victor Emmanuel. I trust these wordi of caution may 11 1 eel, the eye of any Liverpool young men who may be arttemplating joining the standard of Garibaldi. - - All the .reliable intelligence. which comes from the Two Sicilies points to the probability of an early capi-; - talation on the part of the Neapolitan army, and of th e departure of Francis 11., and this notwithstanding the number of troops the, ex-King is said to, have abOut him and nominally under his command. One hardly / . equired any fresh proof of the utter insanity of those "loptimi , -,ts of absolutism" who seem obstinately bent 'On striking another blow on behalf of the unfortunate . ioUng monarch. If one did, it would be found supplied 1 ):V‘ a fact which is mentioned by an evening journal 'Called the _2l76 , evelle:—" Francis IL has caused General' l'ineda, who was accused of having been desirous of betraying Capita to Garibaldi, to be executed without .any form of trial." • • The .text of a treaty,' by which the Piedmentese, 'Government engages to cede Sardinia, in certain , events, to France, as a recompense for its indirect concurrence, er at ,all events, its forbearance, with reference to the annexation 'of the Two Sicilies to Piedmont, has been 'published in the Italian journals; and, strange to say, - at e publication of this document, or pretended docu ment, does not appear to. have been interdicted by the §ardiniau. authorities. As you are aware, the exist ence of any treaty of this kind has been eneigetically deni e d by the 'Patric ; but so was the arrangement relatiVe : to the cession of Savoy and Nice. It is, boWeyer, but right fo 'observe, at the same time, that the embarrassments ---or rather the complications — to Which •the acquisition by France Of these . two Ft ovinees has given rise, greatly diminish the probability any fresh transaction of the kind being carried into execution, even although the poar-parlcrs for the purpose may leeve been actnallyagreed upon. The Council of Ministers on .Monday was a very pro li)nged. and important One. • All the members of the 'Cabinet breakfasted previously with the Emperor.

It: is 'hided that these overtures on the part of Napoleon 111. Were entertained by Russia and Austria, but that they Met With very little sympathy from the English Govern ment.

It was expected that the town would be regularly invested by the '2Bth, or the , 30th, by about 40,000 men; of whoin 1.5,000 will constitute the siege corps, which is at once to commence its approaches. It is considered, according to the opinion of the engineer officers by whom the first reconnaisance werc - made, that the first parallel would be established at a distance of 983 yards from the Bastion Montorio. The remainder of the Piedmentese army, composed of a part of the first 'corps, has gone from Spoleto to Viterbo, and its advanced guard, at the latest date, were at Montervsio, a large Suberb of Viterbo, on the road from Rome, and about 27 miles froni the capital of the States of the Church.

He also stated that the adoption of the proposition of the majority would lower Austria to the rank of a second-rate Power.

The weekly m'eeting of this body Was held yesterday in :the board-room at the Wotkhonse. Mr. Pilling ,presided, and the other members present were Messrs. Ledger, Abrahams; Smith, H. Edwards, Shaw, Jeffreys, Mawdesley, Webster, Garratt, Wareham, Medcall, Rich mond, Bashaw, Roscoe, Williamson, J. Edwards, and Wensley. The usual. returns were submitted. From these it appeared that the number of inmates in the hospital last week was . 38 ; admitted, 1; discharged, 2 ; dead, 2; this week . 35 ; corresponding week of last year, 60. Mr. Gough, the .mo4ter,of the workhouse, reported that the number of inmates in the house last week was 331 admitted since, 21; discharged, 30; died,2. In the house this week, 320;. corresponding week of last year, 310. 'Cliecques for :Wit -door relief were g r ant e d as follows :—Mr.' Potts,',Xl2s ; 11Ir.

In answer to Mr. Shaw, it was stated that the salary as at first proposed was £4O, with rations ; and Mr. Shaw then objected to Mr. Roberts's appointment. He said he should have.to vote against it, for he had looked over the accounts as they had been kept by Mr. Roberts for the last few weeks, and was not satisfied at all with the manner in . whiCh they had been kept. The motion *as then put and carried, Mr. Shaw being the only disSentietit. Mr. LEDGEU said, as there appeared to be a difficulty in getting. members of committees to meet, he should propose that at their weekly meeting next Wednesday, . the whole board shouldtake into their consideration the propriety„ of disposing•of the matters arising from the proposed sale of the hospital ; and that notice should be_ sent to every guardian.' It was one of the mostimpor tnt questions which had ever been discussed by the boa rd. • • Mr. EDWARDS thought thlt the architect should also be present. From explanations given by Mr. Cleaver, we gather that the, intention is—abolishing the hospital, to remove the sick into the Workhouse, accommcidating, them iii that part of it which now forms the schools for the children. Plans of the consequent alterations or enlargement have been prepared ; : and it appears that these having been submitted to the Poor-law Beard, they had objeCted to the Mode of classifica tion, and suggested that the board should niake scitte provision by which the children should not have to associate with the adult paupers. Mr. LEDGER. said there was another thing. The Ponr-law board had suggested two .plans. One was that they should purchase a large plot of land, and build a much larger Workhouse than the present: The CRAIIOI.iN 'said .When the subject came on for discussion next week, he intended to suggest whether they Could riot lidard the children in some of the neigh bdiiring iridristt'iift sChC;ols. lie b'elieNed. thzit at the presentlime-the-Itirkdale schools were half errilAi.' Mr. H. EywAnDs thought the idea Utopian. There was plenty of roam already in the WorkhoUSe if it were properly classified. • After some confersatiOn, it was agreed to' dispense with the attendance -of the architect at the, proposed. meeting ; Mr. Abrahatns remarking 'that- they could talk enorigh theniselres ; and the subject dropped.

Her Majesty the Qtreen and the Prince Consort, acqompanied.by the Princess Alice, embarked at Graves end in, the p,oyal yacht Victdria and Albert, 4 half-past 5 o'clock yeskrday. • Her Majesty Wa received by Viscount Sydney, the Lord•Lieutenant , of the countyof Kent, a nd Commodore 'Superintendent . the Hon. James Drummond, and the Mayor and Corporation of Gravesend. The Royal yacht left the pier at a quarter before 6 o'clock. . The following vessels followed the Roy,d yacht The Osborne, Black Eagle, Vivid, and the Trinity yacht Irene, whioh had on board the Deputy Master of the Trinity House. - •• • • - Her Majesty'sshibs St. George, Captain the Min. F. Egerton ; Emerald, Captain Cumming; Firebrand, Com mander Bruce, ,tpgether with the Royal yacht Fairy, preceded the Victoria 'add 'Albert, and awaited her. arrival iu the Scheldt. . The Royal Squadron anchored, for the night at the Nore, the darkrfess rendering it unadvisable to proceed further. The vessels were under Weigh at 5 o'clock this morning, and after an unusually fine and tranquil passage arrived off Flushing at half-past 12 o'clock p.m. • The Royal yacht was saluted by the forts at Flushing, and - the English Men:of-war manned yards and also saluted. . , . Upon entering the Scheldt the state of the tide ren dered it necessary to slacken the speed of the yacht, and she proceeded slowly to ascend the river, and at 6 p.m. anchored off .Antwerp. The weather, which had been remarkably fine, changed et about half-past 4 o'clock, and the rain was very heaVy:- As soon as the Royal yacht, anchored at Antwerp the British Consul camp on board to receive any orders that Her Majesty might have to give. In attendance upon Her Majesty on board the Victoria and Albert were L'dy Churchill, Lady in 'Waiting ; the - Hon. Mary Bulteel, Maid of , Honour ; Lord John Russell, Secretary of State ; Major-General the Hon. C Grey and• Colonel. Ponsonby. Equerries in Waiting ; Colonel the Hon. Sir C. Phipps, and Dr. Baly. Her Majesty will land at half-past 7 'o'clock to-mor row. morning, . and proceed by railway to Frankfort, where she will pass the night. • From the latest inquiries made on,the spot where the. frightful crush took plabe,! on ' Monday ',evening, which resulted in the death of six persons and serious injuryto six others, it is found that to a mOst• disgraceful species: of larking the fatality, may, be in a measure attributed.. In the afternoon, at the ceremony in the park, we noticed and commented upon (in our report ye.sterdavN the utter absence of anything like suitable arrange ments to keep 'the immense , crowd in order that thronged around the foundation stone. Such, we were informed, in Stockport on Tuesday was the charac -teristic Of the evening gathering to witness the fire- - works. In the afternoon, 'shortly before' the balloon ascent, we had occasion. to pass thrmigh the Market Place, and found much difficulty in doing so, owing to , the dense mass of human beings thatethronged it. At the moment of the' ascent,' the crowd had increased so• much that, though, we wished to 'get into the square again, we were unable, owing to the throng. A little confusion prevailed in the afternoon, caused by boys set ting crackers on fire, and throwing them on the ground, which caused the females to run hastily away, and, being unable to do .so owing to the throng, there was immediately a dangerous sway of the whole mass.' We mention these matters just to show the spirit of mischief that was afloat. On the conclusion of the pyrotechnic . exhibition in the Market •Place , a rush was made down all the "brows" or narrow streets leading from the Square, for the - place where the second display; it was supposed, would take place. The Meal house Brow is the most dangerous descent, owing to a hollow which extends the width of the street just on the brow, and the tortuous winding it takes ; but no such fatal consequences as we have had to report would have occurred had the people not been excited and bent upon a good spree. Who the woman was who first fainted has not been discovered, probably it may be found out. at the inquest, but as soon as she fell, and the stoppage took place, men and lads began pushing ahead, and, seeing some on the ground, it was thought a " jolly lark" to push others down, and several females were treated in a most disgraceful manner after they had fallen. Little did those who were enjoying their criminal sport think that beneath the writhing mass of human beings there were lying bruised and broken bodies out of whom life had been rudely crushed. The more humane who endeavoured to lessen the heap of fallen ones were thrown down themselves, and, iu several instances, narrowly escaped the death from which they rescued others. The militiamen, whose names we have not yet been able to learn, ,and the constables, Marshall and Bruckshaw, are spoken of as having acted in a most energetic and praiseworthy manner. Several people who tried to get up the brow, or to meet some friend amongst those comini clown, were borne back by the descending mass of human beings. • There were loud and piercing shrieks, but louder shouts of boisterous merriment, drowned then:. Hats and caps were thrown about, women's shawls torn from their- backs. Some rolled upon the ground, others were thrown down, all were trampled upon, and so the mele'e continued unit( the crush was spent, and the first dead body was dis covered lying in the street. Then a change took place, and those who had been most boisterous looked' on with fearful countenances at the spectacle of death. Body after body was carried away; the living to have . their . wounds attended to,' the dead to wait recognition. The news of the calamity spread rapidly throughout the' town, and the utmost consternation prevailed' in families respecting relatives. It was not until Tuesday morning that all the bodies were recognised. The irriuest was opened yesterday at the Vernon Arms, at twee o!clock, before Mr. W. Johnson, coroner for the district. THE SUFFERING BAKERS. We have received numerous letters with various sug gestions as to the best means of relieving the sufferings of the oppressed journeyman bakers. The most priicti cal communication.we have had is from Mr. Fillary,Ahe engineer of the'Cold'Bath-Fields Prison, London, show ing -that rtightwork can'be avoided in the manufacture. of bread. • • By. 'thy eturtesy of Captain .Colville, the governor of this gi g antic establAlment, we have visited the " bakery," 'andhave found. Mr. Pilliiry's statement fully confirmed Phelps, one or the niosf happy looking , bakers .we.. have. ever seen. The substance; of Our couitersation" was as follows :-- • ' "For bow many 'people do you make bread, Mr. 1%610 ?" . "For about 1,00 persons, daily, sir." "Why,, that is the population of: a . small market town ! Hdw niany sacks of flour do yotluse in a-Week ?" . " fifty sacks Of ifotit eYery. week, ...• • " Can you Make bread . for 'i,oo'o people without work ing all night, Mr. - .Plielps ?" . • • . "0 yes, sir. There is .no necessity ithalever for the fearful night-Work that bakers generally undergo. With the aid of this bread , machine (Stevens:), there is no need for bakers to . Slave'as their now do.- In • a 'quarter of an hoUr I'get five- sacks of flour ready for the dough in one mixing—a fact that very few bakers would be lieve possible unless they saw it done! I know by bitter experience the horrors of the old system, and . would not go back to it for any consideration." • We are • thankful to be able to add, that Mr. Phelps or Mr, tfiladly give any, .information relative to the bread -making tiniefiiild du the receipt of a letter with a stamped envelope enclosed.. Also, that, master baker, or deputation front fife journey marl baketS, May' see the machine in operation by writing to ?fr. Fillary, and asking for M, Appointment.
