NEW MARINE SIGNAL:L-11r. W. 11. Ward's marine
signals were on Wednesday last subjected to their final
experimental tests at Woolwich, preparatory to their
being received on board t:.e ships of the fleet at Ports-
mouth, whither they are now to be despatched with the
approbation of the Board of Admiralty, au as to undergo
• more extended course of trial over various ranges
from ship to chip at sea. Commodore Drummond,
accompanied by Commander Hawker, Mr. Hall, Mr.
Ward (the inventor), and other officers of the yard pro-
ceeded on board the Fisgard at half-past two, and made
an interesting trial of the night telegraph, without
lights. Four of the lanterns, forming a complete numeri-
cal, or cypher and alphabetical code, suspended in a
vertical line, telegraphed a course of signals, which were
rendered visible at a abort distance only, and after
nightfall a suocession of senteucts were transmitted
from ship to shore, and replied to, a small apparatus, OD
the seine principle, haring been provided for the pur-
pose on shore, and which is intended for the use of gun-
boats and ships of small burden. The experiments were
exceedingly satisfactory, and the invention was hailed
by °Hirers and wen as likely to be productive of incalcu-
lable benefit to the atafaring world at large.

INUNDATIONS IN THULA:M.—The Dublin journals
teem with the inset gloomy accounts a the weather in
various parts of the country, there having been very.
heavy rains for some days past. In Dublin itself the
deluge was so great on Saturday morning thst an
inundat was threatened. There have lice,, iinniense
floods from Derry to Enniskillen and up to Drogheda,
acres of hay having been swept away. The bridges
have been thrown down, the roads have been cut across
in several places, and there have been several extensive
slips of railway embankments. Accounts from the low•
lying districts .4 the province of Leiuster give fearful
details .4 the destruction caused to all kinds of property.
The liver Barrow, becoming swollen in the district
hear Mountwellick, has caused considerable damage;
and in eastletown and about it several hundrel pounds
will be requiied to cover the loss occasioned to the crops
and dwellings of the people. The picturesque little
town of Timeline is said to be entirely flooded, the
streets and roads there being quite impassable on account
of the vast accumulation of water. But the most
melancholy account we have is from the town of
Templemore, where nearly every house was filled with
water; and one poor fellow, a policeman, named Eugene
O'Sullivan, lust his life.

death of the late respected coroner for the Honiton
district took place at %natal on the 16th inst., after
a very short illness. Mr. Aberdein held the office of
coroner since lil, when he was elected by the free-
holders in tbe room of the late Isaac Cox. He was
a staunch Liberal all his life, and of a generous and
confiding nature, and most tender heart. By those
who knew him most intimately he was sincerely
beloved. Ile discharged his public digit* in an
exceptionable spirit 01 il..votinn to lits duty ; and he
carried to the grave the reputation of an honest
member of the useful and tionoutable profession to
which he belonged. The Liberal play of lioniton
and East Devon will not easily replace him. The
funeral of Mr. Abenlein took place at four on
Friday. Mr. Lock, M. P., is in France or he would
have attended. Mr. Spencer Cox is candidate for
the coronership. Ile is son of the late Isaac Cox,
and a highly respectable practitioner.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Tuesday, at the offices, Old Broad-street, Mr. W. rite,
M.P., in the chair. .

The report was taken IS read.
The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report,
said the line was at present leased to :dr. Brasaey, but
the lease would expire at the end of 12 months (ruin
that time. It was expected that the abort extension
line of the South• Western Railway Company at Exeter
to the North Devon Railway would be then completed,
so that there would be direct railway communication on
the harrow gouge from London over the Exeter and
Crediton and North Devon Railways to Barnstaple and
Bideford. Thie improved communication would rune
an element of prosperity for both companies. There
would also be a traffic between Exeter and the western
ports on the North Devon line. It was probable that
come desirable arrangement would be made with the
South-Weatern Company for working or leasing the line,
but no terms would be concluded in respect thereof
without first sulonittine the matter to the shareholders..
The company had haul struggle with enormous diffi-
culties to complete the line, but he believed it would
eventually pay. There was no reason to doubt that the
line would earn much more at the expiration of the
lease than it del at present. The gnus receipts for the
past year had been 1:25,0in1, and they received £12,000
a year rent from Mr. thussey. He was happy to say
that the hest possible terms existed between the London
and South-Western and Brietol and Exeter Railway
Companiea with regard to traffic and other arrange-
ments. There was no unseemly rivalry between these
two great companies with refereuee to the stecommo.
dation of the public, believing that the result of aid:lend
pulley would tend to the mutual advantage of both cool.
panics. On the recent opening of the South-Weeteni
line to Exeter the directors of the North Devon passed
over the line to Barnstaple. and they fonnd that con-
siderable anxiety existed In Ilfracombe for an extee-
sion of the North Devon Railway to that place. Of
course that extensi 111 l would depend upon the public
spirit of the inhabitants, aiel he had no doubt there
would be a considerable tribe un the proposed line if
constructed. He believed the people of Ilfracombe had
employed Mr. Errington to examine the country for a
line from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe, and be was of
opinion that it mull he constructed for about £10,01.10 a
mile. This line would be aleint 10 miles in length, and
would para through • beautiful country. Their railway
and works were kept in good working order by Mr.
Brasey, the lessee.
Mr. Braginton se onded the motion for the adoption
of the report, which was carried anal l i JJJJ 'ugly.
A dividend at the rate .1 17s. 6d, per cent, per annum
was declared on the otiginal chick, and at the rate of
3fis. per cent. per AIMUIII on the 11 stock, payable on
the 4th of September.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors con-
cluded the proceedings.

and disorderly in the streets on the previous evening.
'fhe defendant came into this part of the country
shortly after the tight between Sayers and Heenan,
having obtained a situation as warder at the convict
establishment at Portland, and while on board the
Weymouth and Portland steamer was asked if he
was not the celebrated Benicia boy. lie said he
was, and was consequently deified by the professed
zultuirers of the fistic art, till the secret oozed out.
The Mayor on the present occasion tined him in the
drunkard's penalty.
FRlDAY.—Before the Mayor and Captain Prowse.
John rullidge was charged with stealing
a pair of worsted stockings, the property
of Daniel Resent, on Wednesday last.—Mrs. Bound
said she hung a pair of stocking, with other things,
on a hue near her house to dry, and about half-an-
hour afterwards she saw the stockings were gone.
She told the prisoner's father of the circumstance, as
it was the third pair she had lately lost from the
same place.—Elizabeth SAIIIIWAy3 said that prisoner
called at her I se on Wednesday evening, and
a.ked to be allowed to ir3Vl. 3 pair of stoekings with
her. She afterwards gave the stocking. prisoner left
to a police corestable.—P.C. Brine produced the
stockings which lie had received of the last witnesa,
and which Mrs. lieasant recognised as belonging to
her husband. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and thanked
the Bench on being sentenced to 14 days' hard
labour.
Selina role was brought up on remand, charged
with stealing various articles of wearing apparel, the
property of Emma l'orter.—lt appeared the two
young women were both from Cheselboume, but
were unacquainted with each other until they met
at the Ferry-bridge between Wyke and Portland,
where the soldiers invited them and other girls into

their quarters to take tea and coffee. After they
were turned out by the police,they went on to Midi-
pule, where the girl Porter left her bundle and put
on a hhawl belonging to priainer, and the latter said
that being tired of the life which she found she must
leave if she stayed, she took the bundle in order to
induce Porter to give her the shawl back, and thus
enable her to go home. The Bench after admonish.
lug the girls, dismissed the case.

LYAIE REGIS.

LITEDOAT SERVICM.—At daybreak on Sunday,
morning, the 21st inst., during a heavy gale of wind
from W .S. W., the lifeboat of this place, belonging
to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, proceeded
to the assistance of a vessel with a signal of distress
dying, and anchored near the shore 15 miles to lee•
ward of this port. On reaching her the wind had
moderated, but the sea was still heavy. A portion
of the lifeboat's crew were put on board, and at noon
they succeeded in weighing, the vessel having slipt
one anchor and weighed the other, and at 1 p.m.
the vessel, which proved to be the (fetes, of Lyme,
was safely got into Bridport harbour. The lifeboat's
crew composed of coastguardinen, fishermen, and
yachtsmen, are considers] to be entitled to much
commendation as they went 15 miles dead to lee-
ward with no port or place where they could hope to
land 171.1 the gale continned, and they might have
hal to remain a lengthened period at anchor amidst
the heavy seas and swells of the Great West Bay.
The lifeboat behaved remarkably well throughout the
service.

A SLIP BETWEEN THE CCP AND THE LIP.—On
Thursday last an amusing thing took place at our
town of Lyme Regis. A party named Mr. S. and
Miss N. had given notice to the Minister of the
Baptist Chapel of Lyme that they had agreed to be
made one. Ten o'clock was the hour fixed. The
Nlinisterand Registrar were ready at the time; they
waited from 10 to 12 o'clsck, but the parties did not
come. We are infortued that the parties agreed to
met at Lyme. The young man was at the place
appointed by the time, but his fair lady did not
make her appearance. We are not able to give our
readers the reason for her not coming, but we sup.
pose that she did not feel inclined to tie the knot at
present, thinking there was time enough yet. We
were told by a friend at Lyme on Sunday that the
the young man was seen running about the town in
all directions looking for Miss N., but in vain.
Poor fellow! There may be more reason for self-
ratulatiun in all this thau he is as yet aware of.

AMERICA.

The screw steamship City of Washington, Captain
Jeffery, arrived at Liverpool on Thursday afternoon,
bringing New York journals of the 11th inst.
ilia Royal Highness the Prince of Wales landed from
the Hero at Charlottetown, Prince Edward's Island, on
Thursday, the 10th inst. He wee accompanied to the
island by the Admiral's ship Nile, and the Ariadne,
cossack, Valorous, and Flying Fish, as well as by the
French Commodore's ship Pornone. The day was stormy
and wet, but he was nevertheless received by a great
multitude of people, many of whom were from distant
parts, and had to camp out for lack of accommodation.
The arrangements for the reception were good The
Prince landed under eight royal salutes from the 'Mips
and battery. He was received on queen's-wharf by the
officers of the Government, members of the public
bodies, the clergy and bar, and deputations of promi-
nent citizens. He was conveyed in the Governor's car-
riage, and accompanied by a procession along the
street'', which were lined by the Volunteer Battalion.
Numerous tasteful arches were erected, and the enthu-
maim was very warm. The reception was considered a
pieta success. Lord Mulgrave accompanied the
Prince from Nova Scotia, as also did a guard f honour
of regular troops.
l'resident Buchanan, accompanied by Miss Lane,
Secretary Toucey, and • large party of ladies and gentle-
men, visited the Great Eastern in Annapolis Roads on

both on his arrival and departure, and expressed him-
self much gratified with a two boors' inspection of the
mannnoth vessel. The ship left the Chesapeake on her
return to New York on the evening of the 10th, and the
16th was still named as the day of her dtpartare for
England.
The Nell) York Herold says the census returns were
rapidly pouring into Washington, and they were ex-
pected to be completed by the let of September. It
was confidently assumed that the total population of the
Union will not fall short of 32,1estr5M), being on increase
of nearly omrthird upon the census returns of 1850.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT FROM&

Fgonr, Sunday.—This town, which has hardly
recovered as yet from the excitement attendant on
tbe late terrible murder at Road, was again thrown
into a state of consternation this morning, by the
discovery of another murder, for the appearances on
the body which have come to light, fully justify the I
conclusion that a cruel, and at present unaccountable
murder has been perpetrated. About 9 o'clock this I
morning, a boy was walking along the road skirting !
the banks of the river Frome at a place called Welsh- I
mill, close to the most populous part of the town, I
when be saw something in the water which
so far resembled a human form as to induce
him to call assistance. The coachman of
Dr. Harrison, a magistrate residing near,
came to his aid, and drew from the water the
corpse of a full-grown male child. The child was
quite dead, but had evidently been so only a short
time, as blood was oozing (ruin its nose. Its hands
were crossed over the face. It had no clothing on
whatever, but around the neck was part of a staylace,
by which the child bad evidently been strangled.
The body was promptly conveyed to a neighbouring
public house, and medical aid was summoned by
the police. Dr. White attended promptly,
and after an examination, pronounced the
corpse to be that of a fully matured child, who had
evidently lived some hours after birth. That the
death of the child was accomplished by its mother
seems probable from the fact that sonic of the
customary duties of a inid-wife had not been attended
to. A coroner's inquest was held on Monday last,
but meanwhile the police are using every exertion to
discover the parentage of the deceased. We bear
that some circumstances have transpired which
afford Mr. Superintendent Summers a hope of being
enabled to trace the criminal. The affair has made
considerable stir in the neighbourhood, more
especially as the circumstances ot another suspicious
death are wider investigation.

Tar VOLUNTIMII MOVKIIIINT.—Lord Portman, Lord-
lieutenant of Somerset, is eumpleting arrangements for
plating the volunteer corps rf this county on • more
complete military tooting. For this purpose, the county
is to be divided into three districts—an eastern district,
a western district, and • central district, and a colonel
and adjutant will be appointed to each. It is intended
to hold occasional divisional parades and reviews in each
district. Luttrell, Esq., has been appointed colonel
of ono of the districts, of which it is understood that
Wells will be the haad-quatiers.

PRACTICAL AGRICULTURE.
LETTER No. XXVIII.

ON THE ONLY WAY TO INCREASE THE QUANTITY
Or WOOL; AND A LITTLE CALCCLATION SHOWING
THAT, WITH CARY.,_THIS INCREASE MAY BE MADE
PROYITABLY.

To the Editor of the iorset fatuity Express and

-Agricultural Ga:etle:

Sin.,—As there can be but one way to increase the
quantity of wool, and this being by extra feeding, it
will be well to consider how far this ought to be ,
carried out; and, considering the increasing demand j
for all kinds of wool, I feel certain that if the greater
part of the sheep in England were kept constantly on
a small supply of artificial fond, they would be more
profitable, and the public generally would find a way
fur all the extra quantity that would be produced.
Now, Sir, in order to grow a heavy fleece of wool,
it is necessary to feed on something better than the
common produce of most farms, and it is imperative
that the sheep be kept in good condition the whole
of the time the wool is being grown, fur if allowed
to go back, that is to lose flesh, the wool will re-
ceive such a check as will not be fully recovered after-
wards, however well kept. The next thing to con-
sider is, the boa kind of wool-producing artificial
food; and I think it will be generally admitted that
the most practical and useful, is oilatke ; for this
reason, the profit to be made will present itself in
three distinct ways; first, in the manure, then in
the mutton, and also in the wool.
The reason cake-feeding has ivonetimes been found
a loss to the farmer has been either in the quality of
the article, or by giving a huger quantity than is
actually necessary. I have had ample proof that too
much cake is worse than none at all. .

It is a great mistake to give a sheep more than half 1
apound per day, and in nearly every MSC a quarter
of -a pound is ample to produce a good crop of wool,
and cause the animal to fatten as fast as nature
intended.
It will be seen that I am an advocate for giving
every sheep on the farm a small quantity of mike all
the year round, and I know well that when all the
pros and cons have been considered, it will be found
profitable ; for with constant cake feeding, the num-
ber of deaths will be found 511 per cent less, the
mutton In per rent, more, and the wool fully 25 per
cent more; and all this may be done for about be.
to 10s, per head per annum.
Then, say 4s. for the extra value of the manure,
54, fur the extra mutton, and 2s. for the
extra wool; thus making Ile., exclusive
of the saving in the number of deaths,
: which will be found fully 5 per cent. per annum on
the total value of the whole flock, which will be
equal to another two shillings per head: and the
plan altogether will result in a profit of from three
to live shillings per head over and above what would
be made without this cake feeding.

I remain, Sir,
