" It was stated in evidence that 70 per cent. of the
deaths from explosions were occasioned not by the ex-
plosion
of firedamp, but by the' afterdanrip ' which suc-
ceeds it. If the latter be inhaled in its pare state by the
miner it causes immediate death. Bat since, from the
miners being subsequently discovered in various stegcs
of prostration, it is apparently inhaled in various degrees
of dilution, it seems clear that a power like the steam jet
placed at the top of the downcast, out of reach (which
the furnace at the bottom of the upcast occasionally is
not) of the effects of the explosion, and capable of sweep-
ing the galleries of the mine with an almost irresistible
force immediately atter the explosion, might be the
means of saving a large proportion of the lives now lost
for want of such a power. The furnace under such
pressing emergency is inapplicable, and incapable of
being used for the purpose.
" Your Committee, however, are unanimously of opi-
nion that the primary object should be to prevent the
explosions themselves; and that, if human means (as
far as known) can avail to prevent them, it is by the
steam-jet system as applied by Mr. Forster, although
even in such case it might be prudent in a mine espe-
cially fiery to add an inexpensive steam-jet apparatus at
the top of the downcast, as a means in reserve in case of
explosion from neglect or otherwise.
" Your Committee still are unwilling to recommend a
compulsory enforeernent of any particular system of
ventilation; they would rather paint to the conditions
under which alone they consider the mine to be safe,
and leave it to soma improved system of inspection or
control to secure those conditions being universally
adopted.
" The proper condition of a mine, as regards its venti-
lation, your Committee consider is when the current of
air through all the air-courses, more particularly in the
extreme workings, is from four to six feet per second in
rate through an ordinary-sized airway (say) 50 feet sec-
tional area. This, in the extreme workings, would com-
mend a rate of current to a much greater extent (and
which would be necessary) through the less remote work-
ings of the mine. Without a current of air at the rate
of at least four feet per second, equal to about three
miles per hour, in every part of a mine at all fiery, the
miner cannot ho considered safe from explosion. Such
current would be the truest indication of the actual
amount of fresh air circulating through the general
workings of the mine. It seems immaterial by what
mode this rate of current is produced, so that it be cer-
tainly produced, and a means be furnished to the inspec-
tor at each visit to ascertain that such rate of curt cut
has constantly existed during his absence.
" There is a seeming contradiction to the conclusion
at which your Committee have arrived, that a generally
increased ventilation is the truest security against ex-
plosions, in the fact that these explosions have become
more frequent, in spite of more attention having been
given of late years to the subject of ventilation. The
contradiction, however, is in appearance only. To pro-
duce explosion of the firedamp the presence of a cer-
tain quantity of air (or proportion of oxygen) is re-
quired to make it explosive at all; and with less than
that proportion explosion does not take place; and, also,
after certain additions to that proportion of oxygen, the
tendency to explosion ceases. In the former case the
atmosphere of the mine is unhealthy, in the latter it is
healthy. The postulatum in this matter of ventilation
may be considered to be such a thorough ventilation as,
together with a wholesome air to breathe, should so
sweep the mine clear of the gases as they escaped
from the goave and fissures, or so dilute them with
pure air, as that they ceased to be explosive. To
leave the mine to its natural state of ventilation
would be to leave it in undisturbed possession of a
poisonous, but possibly inemplosive atmosphere; proper
ventilation, on the contrary, would, by dispelling that
poisonous atmosphere, leave to the miner an atmosphere
to breathe nearly as pure as the outer air. But a partial
introduction of an insufficient quantity of atmospheric air
into a fiery mine may cause the very mischief against
which it is intended to guard. It should not be forgotten
by the coal proprietor that the unhealthiness of some
mines, together with" the danger of explosion, greatly
enhances the rate of wages they must pay, so long as
their workmen have to encounter such evils; while the
removal of those evils, on the other hand, must tend ere
long to reduce the rate of wages in collieries more to a
level with that of labourers in ordinary occupations.
These observations, of course, extend also to the injury
to health and risks arising from black' or choke
damp' (carbonic acid gas), JThe poison generally, in
smaller quantities, is slow in its operation, but not the
less sure. The miner is proverbially short-lived.
" The attention of your Committee has been directed
to scientific and practical means of decomposing or
neutralising the explosive gases as they exude from the
coal and goaevs; but it does not appear to your Com-
mittee that science has discovered any practical means
for producing this desirable effect. It is, however, on
the minutes of evidence, that an individual well versed
and long engaged in mining operations, a member of the
House of Commans,* has offered, through the Royal
College of Chemistry, a premium of 1,0001. for the dis-
covery of some simple practical means for the attain-
ment of this important object.
" Your Committee would now refer to some more in-
cidental means of security against explosion; first,
stating their concurrence in the opinion expressed,
I directly er indirectly, by the Committees of 1E35 and
1849, and also with that so strongly expressed by the
South Shields Committee, that where a proper degree
of ventilation does not exist in a mine, a Davy lamp,
or any modification of it, must be considered rather
as a lure to danger than as a perfect security. Prac-
tically secure in a still atmosphere it may be con-
sidered; and in the hands of a cautious overman
an admirable instrument for exploring, or as an indi-
cator of danger; but in a current, as admitted by its il-
lustrious inventor himself, it is not a security; and in
the hands of an ordinary workman, under circumstances
of excitement, when danger is threatened, it is not im-
probably, far oftener than imagined, the very cause of
the explosion which if was intended to prevent. The
experiments of Dr. Bachhoffner, at the Polytechnic In-
stitution, before your Committee, were very interesting
on this point. Nevertheless, in a mine that is at all
fiery, it will be a prudent precaution to work with a
lamp, until it can be proved that by means of ventilation
a mine can be so far cleared of all explosive gases, as to
prevent any accumulation of them in the workings,
goaves, or elsewhere. Some of the witnesses point to
such a possibility; and, if it were for the sake of the
health of the miners alone, a current of fresh air teasing
through the mine which could prcduce this effect would
render such a power one of the most valuable contribu-
tions of the age. One of the principal objections to the
Davy lamp on the part of the workmen has been the in-
sufficient light which it affords. A lamp of greater re-
flecting power, which would, at the same time, admit of
a double gauze protection, has been suggested, and is ex-
plained below. Too entire a reliance on the safety of
the Davy lamp appears to have led, in not a few instances,
to the neglect of ventilation.
" In the furnace system of ventilation the power de-
pends on the difference of the temperature of the air
going down the downcast shaft and that coming up the
upcast; and when temperature of the outer air is high
the power of the furnace is reduced. When the ther-
mometer, therefore, exhibits a high rate of temperature,
the ventilation is lessened. This may account for acci-
dents being generally more frequent in spring and
summer. It is very desirable, under such circum-
stances, that an extra power of ventilation should be
applied.
Under the ordinary pressure of the atmosphere its
weight operates in a fiery mine to keep the escape of
gas from the recesses of the mine. When the pressure
is less the explosive gases have greater power to escape.
Whenever, therefore, there is a fall in the barometer,
showing a diminished pressure of the atmosphere, danger
is indicated, and an increased amount of ventilation re-
quired. In every mine, therefore, it should be impera-
tive for a barometer to be kept. It should be placed
near the ventilating power, properly connected with the
external air, through the downcast, so as to take the
pressure of the atmosphere. A " differential barometer"
is much more sensitive than a common one; and, since
it costs only a few shillings, there would be no excuse
for not having one.
" A water gauge should be placed at the bottom of
the upcast, to indicate the power of the drag of the mine,
where the furnace system is used, so as to indicate the
presence or approximation of the furnace limit.
" Bat an instrument of even greater importance than
the above, especially in reference to the periodical visits
of inspectors, is a self-registering anemometer, by which
the inspector would know at each visit the rate at
which the current of air had been passing through the
mine in his absence. The best instrument of this kind
at present known, perhaps, is that of Mr. Biram. Three,
at least, of these should be kept in every mine ; one at
the intake (bottom of downcast shaft), one at the return
(bottom of upcast), and, especially, one or more in the
extreme workings.
" The gcaves (old workings) in extensive mines are a
principal source of danger. It has been suggested, if the
water would permit, that the gm-es might be, as it were,
drained of the explosive gas by a bore-hole from the
surface, acted on by a steam jet; that gas, being lighter
than common air, would thus be drawn through the bore
to the outer air.
For a similar purpose gas drifts have been recom-
mended, as described in the Technical Definitions and
Explanations.'

.641 t was suggested by Mr. Gurney, also, that refuge
stalls might be established at small expense, in places
familiar to the miners, throughout the workings, to
which, upon an explosion, they could at once fly from
the fatal effects of the afterdamp. A description of
these will be found among the " Explanations."
"It has been stated in the evidence that boys are

nature of the inquests hitherto held, after even the most
distressing explosions.
" It has been strongly recommended by several wit-
ter
neridse(stf explosions, of knowledge and experience that, in the inquests
ht
more diligent inquiry should be
insole than has hitherto been customary into the remote
wellas
life. Your Committee would further recommend to the
attention of the Home-office whether it might not be
expedient to institute such an effice as a Special Coro-
ner for these investigations. In connexion with this
suggestion, it may also be worthy of consideration how
far local feelings or prejudices may not tend, in °case
i ional instances, to interfere with the impartial discharge
of their duties on the part of juries.
" In the letter of Sir 11. De la Beche to the chairman
(vide appendix), it will be seen that education is a polo°
insisted on as a precautionary means both among the
working colliers and their managers, as also that the
qualifications of inspectors should be rigidly teste
pre-
vious to their appointment. In these views your Com
mittee entirely concur. They not only trust to see
education more rapidly spreading than heretofore among
the working colliers, but schools of mines established,
without certificates from which no overman, under-
looker, or manager shall be legally appointed to his
office.
" The qualification of inspectors for their office is a
point of the first importance; and should be efficiently
tested before a competent board, analogously with the,
test exacted in various professions where the interests
ed
of
life and health are involved. They should be acquaint
generally with natural philosophy (especially pneuraes
tics), chemistry, mechanics, also a c ompetent knowledge.
of geology and miceralogy; and should also have bad
practical experience of colliery working.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRWEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
'ime, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
—" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1552.
We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter. that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Plckford ; but the moderate
price at which the `brochure' is soli, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April
28,1852.

establishment, left Osborne Palace at twenty minutes

yacht the Fairy, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence,
and came up to Portsmouth harbour. For the first time
when her Majesty has passed the anchorage, there was
no man of war at Spithead ; but the Prince of Wales,
one of Green's fine India ships, and the Johnson, a
barque from Sidney, lowered their ensigns. As the
yacht approached the Spit buoy, the platform battery
saluted, and as she entered the harbour the Victory, the
Neptune, and Excellent saluted; these vessels were also

months; part of her crew will resume their occupation

Meter of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. LeMert, who has taken the most dietinged
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these

LONGEVITY OF THE ENGLISH.—As an illustration
of the advanced period of life which residents often attain in
the British metropolis, Dr. Webster mentions in his recent
report on the health of London, published in the London
Journal of Medicine for August, that, some time ago, foil*
private patients were under his professional care at the same
period, whose united ages amounted to 365 years, the
youngest being
87, while the oldest was in her 96th year ;
and what is also curious, three were females, and only one a
male patient.

The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was heldl

laLt the offices
Poul-
try, Mr. Wilshere, M.P., in the chair.
The report stated, that the directors had received
5,8251. (being 6,0001. less income-tax) from the
treat Northern Railway Company as half a year's
rent fur tiv Royston and Hi: chin line ; and 1,9411.
(being 2,0001.) less arrears of calls and incom-tax)
fur half a fear's rent of the Shepreth Extension line,
and that warrants for the same would be forthwith
issued at 6 per cent. per annum less income-tax.
Tne report was received and adopted, and the re-
tiring directory re-elected.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the meeting would now
he male special, in order to submit to the considera-
tion of the shareholders a proposition which the direc-
tors had received from the Great Northern Railway,
Company, to introduce a clause in the Shepreth Ex-
tension lease to enable that company at any time,
upon giving three months' notice, to redeem the rent
not only of that line, but also to redeem the, rent of
the Royston and Hitchin line at 25 ears' purchase
by the Great Northern Company, and it would re-
main with the shareholders to crate whether tney were
prepared to agree to them or not.
Mr. BAILDON said that the Great Northern Com-
pany appeared to have a hesitation to sign the S.
chin
-
reth Extension lease until the Royston and Hit
Company had consented to the insertion of a clause
of redemption in that lease. He hoped the pro-
prietors would never give their assent to such a pro-
position.—(Hear, hear.)
A PROPRIETOR said that the proposition of the
Great Northern Company was tantamount to a re-
quest that the company would consent to sell their
property at a premium of 50 per cent. He suggested
that the directors be requested to inform the Great
Northern hoard that they would take the necessary
steps to compel the faithful performance of the agree-
ment entered into in February, 1847.
The CHAIRMAN said that the directors of the Great
Northern Company had not declined to sign the lease
for the Shepreth Extension. They had, however,
made the proposition which he had mentioned.
After some discussion a resolution was agreed to
that the meeting could not recognise the claim for the
insertion of a clause of redemption in the leases of
the company's lines, and that it hoped the directors
of the Great Northern Company would withdraw it ;
but that if not, steps would be taken to carry out the
agreement of the 27th of February, 1849, for a lease
of the Shepreth line.
The meeting then separated.

THE ROYAL PROGIti;SS TO
SCOTLAND.

DEPARTURE FROAI OSBORNE. •
Her Majesty, his Royal Highness the Prince Con-
sort, and the five eider members of the Qtyien's
family, embarked on board the royal yacht Fairy
yesterday morning, from Mede-under-Osborne, at a
quarter past ten o'clock, and arrived at Portsmouth
under the usual ceremonies, to proceed by train from
Gosport for Balmoral. The royal cortege landed
from the Fairy at the Clarence-yard at 10 55, where
a guard of honour of the 85th Regiment, commanded
by Major Blackburn, and officered by Captain Grey,
o Lieutenant Sir H. Edwards, Bart., Lieutenant the
Hon. E. Boyle, and Adjutant Thompson, were drawn
up to salute them. There was also in attendance to
receive her Majesty Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs,
G.C.M.G., the Counander-in-Coief, accomp„ied-
by Flag-Lieutenant Pasley, Major-General Simpson,
Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, with the keys •
of the fortress, attended by Lieutenant,Colonel

JOURNEY TO GLOUCESTER,
After leaving Wiltshire, at about ninety-eight
miles from Paddington, the line traverses perhapsh
most lovely and romantic scenery upon any railway
r .e
in the kingdom. The " Valley of Stroud" is well
known to travellers and tourists as presenting a con-
tinuous series of lovely landscapes. The valley is
almost in the character of a mountain gorge, with
a brawling stream in the bottom which partially
furnishes the motive power for the numerous
cloth and fulling mills of the district, the quality
of the water, too, being peculiarly adapted for
dyeing purposes. The Stroud Valley clothiers, it
will be remembered, asserted their pre-eminence
at the Great Exhibition, having carried away numer-
ous prizes for clothing fabrics. The greater portion
of the Great Western Union line is upon a rather
steep incline, leading as it does from the Cotswold-
hill district to the fertile vale of Gloucester. The line
necessarily follows for a considerable distance the 1
sinuous course of the valley and stream, and there-
fore abounds in sharp curves, which in the rapid run
down towards Gloucester are very perceptible to the
traveller, who feels first the one and then the other
side of the carriage raised to meet the propelling
power and counteract the disposition to run off the
rails on the other side of the curve. In the middle of
the steepest part of the incline is a rather long tun-
nel, called the Sapperton tunnel, the dread of timid
travellers on the up journey. It will be remembered
that it was in this tunnel that a long and heavy Ex-
hibition train separated in two last summer, and the
one half running back by its own specific gravity at a
fearful pace down towards Stroud was met by an up-
train, but through the admirable tact of the driver of
the up-train any serious consequences were avoided.
At all the small stations—Cirencester Junction,
Tetbury-road, Bricascombe, Strcud, and Stone-
house, the population turned out and gave
the passing train a loyal cheer. At Stroud, where
the railway runs almost through the town, the inha-
bitahts came out in great numbers, and were enthu-
siastic in their demonstrations of loyalty. The train
passed rapidly on to the Standish Junction, where the
Great Western Union Railway runs into the Mid-
land (Bristol and Birmingham Line.) Here the
speed was slackened until the junction was crossed,
and then a ten TiQites' rapid spin `along, the vale of

at the reports and half-yearly meetings both of the
'Eastern Counties and Norfolk Railways had given
such great satisfaction. With those lines they. were
in a great measure amalgamated, and of course they
,depended \much upon their condition. He must,
therefore, On: atulate their own proprietors on being
successful in e' mon with other railroads in which
they were s. much and so deeply interated.—
(Cheers.) He might also, as a resident and spectator
of what was going on in the harbour daily, congratu-
late them that their cattle trade was steadily increas-
ing, and that in their " visiting trade" also, if he
might be allowed the term, there had been an enorm-
ous increase. Their large and elegant hotel, and all
the other hotels were full ; their lodgings were all
full. In fact, as far as he could see, they were
all in a most prosperous condition, and every one was
well pleased.—(Hear, hear.) Captain Andrews, the
harbour-master, was abroad with Mr. Peto, and he
regretted his absence, because he was sure that, had
he been present, he could have accounted satisfactorily
for everything that might appear to tell against them,
and would have given them every reason to hope for
success in the end.—(Hear.) As the dividend was

he need not expatiate upon the necessity that existed
for
to develope traffic and to render both their line and
harbour valuable as an independent property.
Mr. TILL (a director) said he had to inform the

statistics showed that though a m
of
vessels had entered during the last half-year than in
the corresponding period of last year, the tonnage had
considerably increased. The number of vessels this
half-year was 1,160, against 1,205 in the correspond-
ing half-year—decrease 45 ; but the tonnage was
100,277,
against 88,020—increase 12,257 ; which
showed that they were doing altogether a more re-
spectable trade and with a larger class of vessels.
After some discussion about the probable advantage
that the company would derive from the construction
of the Hales worth Branch Railway, the meeting ter-
minated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and
the board of directors.

GLOUCESTER.

At Gloucester preparations on a large scale had
been made for the reception of the Royal visitors,
who had to wait at the station for a quarter of an
hour in consequence of the break of guage occurring
here. Taking advantage of this, the clergy and cor-
poration of the city addressed a humble request to the
Queen to be allowed to pay their respects to her
Majesty, and, a most gracious answer having been
made to this request, addresses were prepared by the
clergy and the corporation for the presentation on her
Majesty's arrival. It was intimated, however, that
none but officials would be allowed upon the platform
during her Majesty's stay, and accordingly it was kept
clear. A gallery had been erected at the end of the
platform of the Midland Railway—which has broad
guage rails on the one side and narrow on the other,
for the accommodation of the Bishop and clergy and
the corporation, but in consequence of the indecent
crowding—not to say mobbing—of the Royal party
on the occasion of the Queen passing through Glou-
cester in 1849, it was arranged that the platform
should not be further encroached upon. The plat-
form itself was ornamented with arches of evergreens
and flowers, and covered with crimson cloth. A
guard of a hundred men, draughted from the 73d
Regiment, from Horfield Barracks, attended at the
upper end of the platform, and a body of local pen-
sioners was in attendance also. The public, never-
theless, were not forgotten, and special provision was
made for the accommodation of the ladies of Glou-
cestershire, a range of seats being placed along the
South Wales and Great Western platform, from
which an excellent view of her Majesty's arrival and
departure was obtainable. A long row of railway
trucks and carriages were also placed along the line
adjacent to the station for the accommodation of the
public, while some hundreds of children from the
public schools were penned like sheep in cattle-trucks
along the railway, so that there was a strong muster
of the population of the city and county of Gloucester
ready to give her Majesty a hearty welcome.
Her Majesty's progress had been telegraphed to
Gloucester from every station between that city and
Swindon, and the strictest punctuality was observed
throughout the journey. At twelve minutes past
three o'clock the arrival bell signified the approach of
the royal train, and immediately afterwards it was
drawn slowly into the station amid the most enthu-
siastic cheers of the people and the waving of hand-
kerchiefs by the ladies. There had been a sharp
shower jest before, but at this juncture the sun shone
out with great brilliancy, and the scene was a most
cheerful and imposing one. Flags floated
at every
available position, the royal standard waving above
all ; the soldiers and pensioners presented arms, the
band played the National Anthem, and the shouts of
the people rent the air, and gave assurance of their
loyal attachment to the Throne.
There were in attendaneele. following airectur6 of

DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was con-
vened on Friday at the London Tavern ; Mr. W. A.
Wilkinson, M.P., in the chair.
There was not a sufficient number of shareholders
present to constitute a legal meeting.
The report stated that the preparations for the final
abandonment of the undertaking were progressing
satisfactorily, though slowly. The suit referred to in
the last report, as then about to be heard, was adju-
dicated upon by the Lords Justices, in March last,
in the company's favour, and the directors trust that
this decree will materially facilitate the dissolution of
the company. There are, however, other proceedings
still pending, which render any decided step in that
direction at present unadvisable. The directors, how-
ever, anticipate effecting arrangements, which they
hope will enable them to make an immediate payment
to the shareholders of ten shillingi per share. During
the last half-year the number of shares on which the
calls are in arrear has been reduced by 756, and the
number on which payment has still to be enforced
the solicitors is now only 2,710. The accounts by

shareholders, and, if they could do so, it would afford
them pleasure to return the whole. But the fact was,
.
the Act of Parliament contained no provision for re-

rectors felt great difficulty in returning any portion
of the money paid with safety to themselves and the
subscribers.
In reply to questions, it was stated that it would
cost above 2,0001. to obtain a special Act to dissolve
the company ; but, if the application to Parliament
should be unsuccessful, a great portion of that sum
would be lost to the company without any good
result. If they could wind up their affairs at a rea-
sonable expense, 11. per share could be returned to
