"FREE PROPERTY REGISTER,' containing a varied selection
of landed and house properties now in the market, from
the nobleman's mansion, with its manorial domain, to the

affords, by sending the particulars of their properties to the
Estate Offices, 67, Chancery-lane, London, as the Messrs.

giving way. caused a delay of 10 minutes in repairing, and
was very cleverly luanaged. At 5 33 Marina shifted balloon
foresail for a smaller one, and at 5 40 shifted square-headed
for jib-headed topsail, and at 5 43 passed Volante to leeward.
They were soon beam and beam, and the South Foreland
was passed by Marina at 67, Volante, at 6 10. Blue Bell,
two miles astern to leeward, took in her topsail, Madcap
two miles astern of her, and the rest out of sight. At 6 25,
off Dover Castle, the main sheet strap of Marina's boom
gave way, and she lay to to repair. This considerably
threw her to leeward, and prevented her from raising the
mainsheet during the remainder of the race; 30 minutes
lost. Volante enabled to make aboard to windward and
take second place, Blue Bell came up at 7 p.m , about 1f
mile astern. Madeap
now took the fourth place, Blue Bell
5, Vindex 6, 2 miles astern, wind and tide against them ;
and at 7 25 the position of the yachts was as follows :
Galatea first, 7 miles ahead, Volante 2, Madcap 3 (still with
two jib-headed topsails) going unmistakeably well, Marina
4, Blue Bell 5, Vindex 6, Medea 7, just in sight. Volante

sighted Dungeness Light, bearing W.S.W. on starboard
bow, wind becoming light and sun down, Madcap
standing in, Volanta 2, Vindez, two miles astern of Marina,
standing in on her lee
quarter, Blue Bell ditto, a mile
astern, Medea and Night Thought out of sight. At 9 5
Marina was standing out off Sandgate, and Blue Bell stand-
ing in shore, miles astern—moonlight. At 11 10 Marina
came up to a fleet of about 200 vessels at anchor under the
Ness, waiting for a fair tide to the westward, and passed
Dungeness at 11 30 on starboard hand, wind W.N.W., and
an hour and a half flood left, Could discern by the bright
moonlight Volante half a mile ahead and standing out; Ga-
latea second, standing in ; Madcap third, having just made
a board inwards ; Vindex five miles astern. It was now
midnight. Marina stood out, wind W.N.W., and at 12 6
stood in, wind freshening. Sounded lead 54 fathoms. At
12 14 Marina tacked again, Madcap and Galatea half a mile
ahead standing in to land; wind dead ahead and the Vo-
lante leading. At 143 the Marina (off Fairlight) passed the
Galatea to leeward. The lights of Hastings and St Leonard's
opened out in the distance. Fine topsail breeze, with bright
moon. At 155 Galatea stood in for land on the port tack.
Marina followed snit at 1 58, about 150 yards to windward.
A dashing rain and a heavy sea getting up. Ebb tide strong.
At 3 5 Marina on the port tack standing in for St Leonard's,
Volante two miles a head of her on the same tack ; Madcap
second, a mile and a half head, on the starboard tack; Ga-
latea fourth, a mile astern on port quarter. Beachy Head
was sighted at 3 30 a.m., hazy, and at 510 Volante stood in
on the port tack and looking splendid—clear blue sky, sun
shining brightly, and a heavy sea on--Marina half a mile
astern of her, Galatea astern of Marina, and Vindex behind
Galatea two miles; Madcap further out in the Channel,
making a long board to the French coast, wind N.W. At
6 b the Marina passed Beachy Head on the starboard tack,
Volante a mile ahead on the same tack, Madcap on her lee
bow, hull down; Galatea on her lee beam, three miles astern,
standing off on a long board towards the French coast; Vin-
dex two miles astern of the Galatea ; no others in sight.
Tide strong, two hours' flood. From 730t0 8 30 a.m. the
Marina and Volante were standing in and out, tack for tack,
along the shore, passed the Beachy Head Lighthouse, and
when off the coastguard station Volante about a mile head.
Wind and tide against them, with heavy rolling swell in
shore, the gutta percha vigorously at work on the canvas of
both yachts, the Vindex seven miles astern, and the schooner
somewhere to leeward out of sight, Splendid weather, with
a fair topsail breeze, At 9 a.m. the Marina passed Seaford,
and at 9 17 rounded the red buoy'at the entrance to the port
of Newhaven, course W.N.W., wind due W., tide about
an hour to high water. At 918 Marina stood out on the
starboard tack, Volante ditto about a mile to windward, with
a tumbling sea. At 11 4 Brighton Pier was passed on the
port tack, Marina standing away past Shoreham, Volante
two miles ahead, and Vindex six miles astern. No others in
sight. After passing Shoreham Marina stood out for the
land on the starboard tack and took in a reef of the mainsail,
the wind increasing, with a lump of sea, Madcap leading,
Galatea second. At 1 p.m. passed Worthing, and stood
out on the starboard tack; and 1 15 it appeared that the
topsail sheets of the Vindex had given way, and she took in
topsail. At 12 50 a schooner (the Albatross) hove in sight
five or six miles to windward, weather thick. At 150 Vin-
dex set her topsail afresh. Volante now led by a mile and
a half, Marina second, Vindex third, four miles astern.
Wind had now veered to S. of W„ course W.N.W. Bog-
nor sighted on starboard beam at 1 45. At 330 Volante
tacked for the Overs Channel and appeared to hold a good
wind. The Nab light and Dean Tail buoy were passed by
her at 5 40, by Marina at 6 6, wind and tide dead against
them, Vindex coming up four miles astern, steering N.W,
Volante passed the light ship at Warner a, 6 20 p.m
Marina at 6 45 p.m., and both arrived, after a most exc
ing race, within a cable's length of Ryde Pier.

The Railways and the Post-Office,

stances are borne in mind, the grant of £82,416 to
that company for the conveyance of the mails ap-
pears by no means excessive, although, no doubt,
a large sum. The conditions under which a mail
train has to be run are usually so stringent and
exacting that they entail heavy outlay on the
company which runs it, and in arbitration not only
the working expenses but the cost of constructing
the line and the rate of its earnings ought to be
taken into account.

The Government has just bestowed on Sir Row-
land Hill a substantial acknowledgment of his ser-
vices in improving the postal system of this country,
in the shape of a grant of £20,000, in addition to
his retiring pension. Whatever may be Sir Row-
land's title to be deemed an inventor, he has un-
doubtedly distinguished himself as a zealous and
enterprising administrator, and no one will grudge
him the reward he has received. At the same time
it is but fair to recollect how much the postal ser-
vice has been dependent on the railways. The
penny post could never have been carried out by
the old mail coach. It was the locomotive which
made it possible, and it was Sir Rowland Hill's
good fortune that the commencement of the new
scheme and the development of the railway system
were contemporaneous. He started, as it were, with
a rising tide, and it was to that as much as to any
skilful steering or tacking on his part that he owed
his success, It might have been expected, there-
fore, that there would be a friendly feeling at St.
Martin's-le-Grand towards the railway companies,
and that they would be treated, if not with
favour, at any rate with justice and reason-
able consideration. Notoriously, however, the
very reverse has been, and, we regret to
say, is still the case. Whether it is that,
the managers have never ceased to lament their for-
mer splendour, and cannot forgive the rival who
drove from the road the mail-coaches, with their
spanking steeds and royal liveried guard—" grand
and awful-looking in all the composure of a con-
scious superiority ;" or whether it is only that they
have been eager to pinch and pare the expenditure
so that they may boast of a large revenue, we can.
not tell ; yet certain it is that from the very first the
Post Office has manifested a most illiberal spirit to•
wards the railways. At the outset it tried to ig-
nore them, and when at length compelled to accept
their aid, it took care to impose hard and ungracious
conditions. Last week, in speaking of the Irish
mails, we showed how shabbily the London and
North-Western, or perhaps we should rather say the
Chester and Holyhead, were used; and that is only
one instance of the way in which the Post Office
deals generally with the companies whom it em
ploys.

Another objectionable feature in the present sys-
tem is that while arbitration is pending the c3rn-
puny has to do the work without receiving any-
thing on account. At this moment, we believe,
this is the case with several of the Scotch lines.
The grossest piece of injustice, however, is the direct
competition whieh the Post•office engages with the
railway companies in the transmission of parcels.
Of late years this branch of business has been gra-
dually extended, and is manifestly unfair, for the
railways are thus made to carry over and above the
legitimate objects of postal delivery, a description
of traffic intercepted from themselves without any
additional payment. We cannot help thinking
that the arrangement most equitable for both
parties, and most beneficial to the public, would be
to give the rail ways a pecuniary interest in the de.
velopment of the postal traffic.—. Railway News.

THE GREAT CHANNEL SAILING MATCH FROM
GRAVESEND TO RYDE PIER.
This race, emanating from several influential yachtsmen
at the Union Yacht Club House, Gravesend, came off on
Saturday last, June 18th, and was started under the able
management of Lord de Ros, vice-commodore of the
R.T.Y.C., assisted by Capt. Tucker, R.N., the harbour-
master, and Capt. Grant, secretary R.T.Y.C.; the noble
lord haying kindly consented to arrange the start accord-
ing to the instructions of the ocean match to Harwich on the
4th. The vessels consequently took their stations in tiers of
three, the cutters being lower down the river, and the
schooners forming the upper division, anchored a little above
the Union Yacht Club House. The following were entered,
but the Amazon did not start :

The race was a sweepstakes of five sous each in each divi-
sion, with a time allowance, double Ackers' scale ; the start
to take place when the second flag (red) should be hauled
down at the U. Y. C. house. It being high water about
114 a.m., it wog arranged by Lord de Ros that the vessels
should start as nearly as possible at 11 30 a.m., and all to
cast to the southward. The signal having been given at
11 29, the start was magnificent, the vessels having
weighed anchor within a,few seconds of one another ; wind
W.N.W, strong and squally. Amidst the cheers of the
spectators the Blue Bell, Marina, Vindex, and Volante
were off together ; Blue Bell and Marina being the smartest.

Galatea now took a decided lead, her balloon staysail begin-
ning to fill, and Volante shifted her jib-headed for square-
headed topsail. At 12 52, off Yantlett, came up with Clytie,
Flying Fish, and other schooners—positions unchanged,

t is now some fifteen years since a committee of
he House of Commons was appointed to consider
how the services of the railway companies could be
secured to the Post Office. The result was a re-
commendation that commissioners should be ap-
pointed to arbitrate on this subject between the
department and the companies. In the debate which
followed the presentation of the report to the house,
Sir James Graham proposed that the arbitrators
should be instructed, in making their award,
to take into consideration the cost of the construc-
tion of the line in question. Lord Taunton, then
Mr Labouchere, and President of the Board of
Trade, insisted on the arbitrators being left wholly
free, but gave a pledge on behalf of the Govern-
ment that no attempt would be made to exclude the
cost of construction from consideration. Upon this
the amendment was withdrawn. There seems at
this time to have been, and perhaps there still
lingers, a feeling on the part of Parliament that the
railways have got their bills too cheaply, and that
more might have been squeezed out of them when
they were clients at the bar, and altogether at the
mercy of the two houses. "They ought to have
foreseen," said Sir R. Peel, " that if the railroads
were successful, other modes of internal communi-
cation would almost necessarily fall into disuse, and
they ought therefore to have stipulated, as it woutd
have been perfectly just and easy for them to have
dime, that certain public services should be per.
formed at a reasonable rate." We admit the case,
but we question the justice with which such stipu-
latinns could nitro been fnrend on the helpless appli-
cants for parliamentary powers. We see no more
reason why railway companies should be compelled
to do work for next to nothing in order to swell the
revenue of a Government department, making a
large annual profit, than why shipbuilders
should supply men-of-war, or ordnance manu•
facturers guns on similar terms. A railway com-
pany, it seems to us, has as good a right to make a
profit if it can out of the Government as out of any
other customer.. The Duke of Argyle, however,
seems to have thought otherwise. In 1856 he in-
troduced into the House of Lords a measure for
regulating the conveyance of the mails by railway,
which was really a bill of pains and penalties.
Certain trains were to be exclusively set apart for
postal purposes: there were to be fines for every
tittle Bitch in the working, and although a pre-
tence was made of making a "full allowance for
profit," it is clear that the principle laid down was
that the remuneration was to be "based on the
actual cost of running the trains." Parliament has
never had any scruples about " taking it out of"
the railway when it got a chance ; but we are not
surprised that the duke's bill was found to be
rather too strong, and disappeared, never to be
renewed.

We learn that Mr. William Miller, eldest son of
the late Hugh Miller, has just been promoted to the rank
of lieutenant in his regiment, which is at pteeent stationed
in India,—.Vundeo Advertl.6er.

Mr. Lewins, in his very able and interesting work
on " Her Majesty's Mails," touches on this pee.
tion ; but he looks at it through official, and, there-
fore, discoloured glasses. He owns, of course, that
the gain to the Post-office through railways is
enormous. The mails are not only carried more
rapidly, but facilities are given for sorting them
on the journey. " But here," says Mr. Lewins,
"the gain ends; and the cost of the service
really done is beyond all proportion. The cost of
carrying mails by coaches averaged 21d. per mile;
the average cost of railways is 10d. a mile, some
railways charging nearly five shillings per mile
for the service they render." We are not
quite sure of the accuracy of these figures; but even
accepting them, they involve a fallacy which we are
astonished so acute a writer did not perceive. Mr.
Lewins overlooks entirely the fact that a train
carries twenty, forty, nay, in some cases, even a
hundredfold more letters than one of the old mail-
coaches. On the main trunk lines, such as the North-
Western, in addition to the saloon carriage called
the travelling post-office, several vans are attached
to hold the bags. A quarter of a century since the
aggregate weight of the evening mails despatched
from London in twenty-eight mail coaches was only
4 tons &mt., or an average of 4-1 cwt. per coach.
Which is cheaper, a mail coach at 20, per mile
carrying that insignificant burden, or a mail train
of our day carrying its ton upon ton of letters with
punctuality and despatch ? Why there is no com-
parison between the two things. Again, Mr Lewins
says " The cost of running a train may be reckoned
in most oases, at 16d. per mile, and thus the Post-
office, for the use of a fraction of a train, may be
said constantly paying at the rate of from 60 to 300
per cent. in excess of the whole cost of the running."
Here lurks another fallacy. In business the loss on
any transaction must be measured not by the cost
price, but by the market value. Rails and plant
have a very limited life, which every journey
shortens; and, consequently, the loss on each mail
train must be calculated not by the cost of running,
but by the difference between the amount paid and
that which might be gained by a regular passenger
train. Fifteen pence per mile may be the ordinary
working expenses, but then it should be borne in
mind that the average earning is over ss. per train
per mile. Mail trains, however, almost universally
far exceed the ordinary working cost. The speed at
which they travel involves a larger consumption of
fuel and much greater wear and tear. The limited
night mail between Euston-square and Pertb,for ex-
ample, traverses the distance of 451 miles in 11 hours
and a half, or about forty miles an hour,
including stoppages. In that and other cases the
number of passenger carriages allowed to be at-
tached to the train is restricted. At present eight
mail trains are run on the main-line of the North
Western, each conveying post office carriages and
staff, and, of these, half are run specially, the num-
of passengers being limited. When these eircum-

Cure of Deafness,
—*-- t--
At the last sitting of the AcadempeegAiii*):;,
M, Flourens presented an application additsisedit S
him by Dr. Turnbull, a Scotch physician, who pro-
posed to employ a method of his own on a certain
determinate number of persons effected with want
of hearing, and prayed the Academy to appoint a
committee; first, to ascertain the state of the pa..
tients before being submitted to the treatment in
question, and next, to report at the end of a year
what had been the amount of SUCCES3 arrived at.
Dr. Turnbull has explained his method to M.
Flourens, and will likewise communicate it to the
members of the committee. He has described it in.
a sealed paper deposited with the Acadrmy, but
wishes it not to be published un'i: the e,-;Crition
of a year. The Academy, conside:::ntz the :übjfet.

save Dr. Turnbull
and through
with which this decision has been coma to reflects
great credit on the Academy. It appe:rs that when
Lord Brougham was lately in I',.ris, beirg anxious,
him the matter was brought under consideration,
and, appearing to the Academy to present
aua ssleeftautlelwrtaooYfhslisnttfoerol fellow
-creatures,
every guarantee of success, was immediately
disposed of, as stated above. It may not
be irrelevant to state that Dr. Turnbuil,a name
has been long known in England and the United
States as connected with extraordinary cures of
deafness—not mere impediments in bearing, but,
deafness existing from the first moment of life.
Some years back a paper appeared in Chambers'
Edinburgh. Journal giving an account of several
extraordinary cures effected by the practitioner in
question. After speaking of several cases of deaf
and dumb persons successfully treated by the Turn-
bull method, the writer says :
Let us first explain that the deafness of the class of per-
sons called deaf-mutes has hitherto been quite incurable.
With respect to certain modifications of deafness produced
by cold, and other similar accidental means, there has long
been a medical practice attended with some measure of
success: for example, in London there is an institution
salted the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear, where,
since its commencement in 1816 to 1840, according to a
statement by its surgeon, Mr Harrison Curtis, 12,000 cases
have been cured or relieved. But for that complete deafness
which is born with a human being and prevents the future
acquirement of speech there is acknowledgedly no cure
whatever upon the medical books. This is fully owned
by one of the first writers and practitioners of the day
on aural surgery, Dr. Wilhelm Kramer, of Berlin,
who, in a work on the subject, says :—" There are convinc-
ing proofs of the entire failure of all remedial attempts
hitherto made for the restoration of hearing in deaf-mutes.
The deaf-dumb, whether they be completely deaf,
. • •
or merely dull of hearing, are incurable." The condemna-
tion thus pronounced will appear a very distressing one,
when it is known that, in civilised communities, one person,
in about every 1,600 is a deaf-mute. In each of six Euro-
pean States—France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Russia, and
Prussia—the proportion given by statistics is exactly one to
every 1,585 of the population. The whole number in Great
Britain alone is 12,394, and in France 20,189.
The writer then proceeds to affirm that Dr. Turn..
bull certainly cures congenital and other cases of
deafness, and mentions instancv3 in point. We
quote textually :

During his recent brief residence in Edinburgh, Dr
Turnbull effected the entire cure of Miss Catherine Waiker,
of Kelso, a young lady known to various friends of our own
as having been deaf and dumb daring her whole life up to
that period, and who had accordingly received her education
in the institution for deaf-mutes in Edinburgh. We saw
this young person, first a week, and next time about a
month, after her cure, and found that she heard as well as
any ordinary person. At the time when we saw her last,
she was beginning to use her voice to some little purpose,
insomuch that her friends forbade her to speak to them en
her fingers, :alleging that they coald understand what she
said,

Although Dr. Turnbull can restore bearing in such
cases in about a quarter of an hour, the learning to
speak distinctly afterwards is a long up-hill piece
of work, and probably on that account it is that in
his application to the Academy of Scietices he fixed
a year as the period for a fair trial, wishing not
only to present cases of restored hearing but of a
certain facility in speaking. When the patient is
young the difficulty seems to be Ices, as will be seen
by the following extract from the work already
quoted :
Dr Turnbull was in Glasgow at the beginning of the by-
past year, and in public administered to various deaf and
dumb persons. Happening to be acquainted with a gentle-
man who had taken an interest in what was then done, we
wrote to him making particular inquiry into the condition
of two young persons whom we understood to have received
decided and permanent benefit. These were deaf-mutes
named Jane 'Wilkie and Margaret Muir, the one being
about eight years of age, the other about nineteen.
Our friend answered as follows :—" I called on both
the girls to-day, and had the good luck to find
Wilkie at home. Her mother states freely that she
hears quite as well as the other children, and is at a school
conducted by a female, who seems to be bringing her on
very well, if I may judge from a specimen of her reading I
witnessed to day. Her articulation was vary perfect, con-
sidering the short time that she has been at school. They
have no occasion now to speak loud to her, as she seems to
understand quite well what is said when her back is turned.

. • . I found Muir's parent at home, but she herself
was at work in a cotton mill. I put many questions to the
parents, which they answered very satisfactorily. They
stated that the surprising effects produced by Dr Turnbull
had not altered in the least drgree, but on the contrary
were rather increased. She hears whatever is said to her,
though she may be in another room with the door shut.:
These extracts, we conceive, will suffice to show
that much advantage is likely to accrue to mankind
from the new treatment when made public, and it
was doubtless the firm conviction of that result
which induced the Academy of Sciences to accede
so promptly to Dr Turnbull's application.
