about 15 miles at sea, off Filey. A boy named se"',

climbed up the mast, but when near the bird it flew awaq
but no sooner did the boy commence descending 001
again alighted. The boy climbed up again, and caught
by the leg. The eagle resisted, and eo squeezed the 1)0 0
hand with its free claw as to make it bleed freely. Seale),
however, managed to hold on with his legs, while
stretched up his free arm and caught the bird by the necg
and after some resistance killed it, and came down totwt
deck with his prize. He subsequently sold the eagle,:wllidc

affords, by sending the particulars of their properties to the

THERE IS NO CHARGE incurred, unless a tenant or pur-
cnaser is introduced through Messrs. Lumley's Agency,

The Premiums of the year 1563 reached the sum

Among the incidents which have tended to the advance-

ir2tion with respect to the losses sustained by the explo-
sion of the Lotty Sleigh, which although only con -istent with
the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti-

tiler times by the o'dest and most proverbially honourable
fliong• its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public
tavour by its unhesitating. promptness.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1864.

that a gold watch which she held in her hand might be con-
veyed to some distant portion of the room. Immediately
afterwards the concert was resumed; the bells, tambourine,
and horn became excited, and the lady exclaimed that the
watch was gone. On the candle being lighted, it was found
on the carpet at the feet of Dr Ferguson. One of the bells
was also found in the lap of a gentleman sitting near him.
Some doubt having been expressed as 10 whether it was
possible for the Brothers Devenport to have moved chair
and all in the darkness, so as to elevate the musical instru-
ments in the air, and make them play, another illustration
was volunteered by Dr Ferguson. Mr Fay took his place
among the visitors, holding a hand of each as before. A
gentleman present then sat down between the Messrs.
Devenport, and placed his hand upon the head of each,
while ho rested either foot on the feet of the Devenports)
which were placed close together in a parallel direction to
each other. The Devonports then clasped the arms of the
gentlemen, and in this position it would have been absolutely
impossible for one of the group to have moved without dis.
turbing the others. This pose having been arranged to the
satisfaction of all present, the light was extinguished and
the guitar was again heard as if moving in the air close to
the facts of all present. Mr Fay. as before stated, was seated
in a row, clasping hands with the persons right and left of
him, while Dr Ferguson was similarly placed in another
portion of the room.
With this last-named illustration the seance terminated.
It had lasted rather intro than two hours, during which
time the cabinet was minutely inspected, the coats examined
to ascertain whether they were fashioned so as to favour
a trick, and every possible precaution taken to bind the
hands and feet of the persona whose presence appeared to
be essential to the development of the manifestations.
It may be asserted that all the illustrations above enu-
merated can be tradei to clever conjuring. Possibly they
may, or it is possible that some new physical force can be
enrndered at will to account for what appears on the face
of it absolutely unaccountable. All that can be asserted is
that the displays to which we have referred took place on

tory. He was sorry to perceive that the publication of the
traffic returns were very irregular.
The CHAIRMAN said they were regularly sent to the
stock-exchanges,and orders had been given to send them to
the papers. . The rains in Scinde had of late years be-
come unusually heavy, and the line had been flooded, hence
the necessity for the culverts and drainage. The net re-
venue shown in the report was no criterion of what it would
be when the accounts were properly adjusted. Altogether
ho considered that their affairs were in a highly satisfactory
state. The Indus Valley line would complete the link be-
tween the Scinde and the Punjab and Delhi Railways.
Along the left bank of the Indus was to be found the
shortest, cheapest, and best route fur the Indus Valley line.

After some further observations the report wa, unani-
mously adopted, and the proceedings concluded with a vote
of thanks to the chairman.

the present occasion under conditions and circumstances
that preclude the presumption of fraud. It is true that
darkness is in some cases an essential condition, but dark-
ness does not necessarily imply deception. But, puffing
aside the cabinet manifestations, there is abundance left to
excite curiosity and challenge attention of the scientific.
Learning, we know, is not a limited quantity; it is inex-
haustible for all mankind, and here is a field for the inves-
tigation of the scientific world. In the present state of know-
ledge upon the subject of cceult forces, dependent more or
less upon the will, all that can be said is, that the manifes-
tations of Messrs Devenport and Mr Fay appear to be alto-
gether inexplicable.
In a little time we believe it is their intention to give
seances at the Egyptian 2iall or some other suitable place,
when the public will be afforded an opportunity of witness-
ing some of the astonishing feats of which we have given
an outline, For the present it is sufficient to say that they
invite the strictest scrutiny on the part of men of science,
and that, whatever be the theory involved, they repudiate
any active agency in the production of the extraordinary
manifestations which take place in their presence. It is per-
haps well for them that they were not in the flesh a century
and a half ago, as, in the then state of human knowledge
and social enlightenment, they would unquestionably have
been conducted to Smithfield, and burnt as necromancers
of the most dangerous type.—Xorning To4l.

OTTOMAN (SMYRNA TO AIDIN),

The report of the directors states that the guarantee at
the rate of £30,360 per annum had been received by the
company in settlement of the same up to the 30th of June,
1863. The accounts for the half- year ending December 31,
1863, were now before the Government, and the directors
were assured that no unnecessary delay would occur in exa-
mining and passing them to the finance department for pay-
ment. The directors adverted to the just and liberal treatment
which the company had uniformly received at the hands of
the Imperial Government, and stated that it was cause for
congratulation to the shareholders that a Government new
to the practice and difficulties of joint-stock enterprise
should so readily have acquiesced in the measures necessary
to carry out this undertaking successfully. The revenue
account for the half-year did not exhibit so good a result as
was expected. On taking over the maintenance of the line
ii was hoped that a considerable saving might be effected
under that head, but, owing to the great length of time
during which the line had been under construction, it was
found necessary to make a large outlay for actual renewal,
especially as regarded sleepers. The works en the second
section were progressing very favourably. The capital ac-
count showed that £1,175,865 had been expended, leaving
a balance against the company of £154,974. The revenue
account for the half-year ending the 30th of June last
showed that £9,651 had been received, and £11,144 ex-
pended, showing an excess of £1,493 over receipts.

The report of the Scinde, Punjab, and Delhi 'undertak-
ings of the company were taken as read.
The CHATRMAN, in moving their adoption, said it was
gratifying to inform the shareholders that the staff in India
had performed their duty to the entire satisfaction of the
Board ; they had escaped_fr m the ravages of sickness
better than the servants of the Government, and their
sanitary state was satisfactory, The contract for the
construction of the Delhi Railway had, after great anxiety
on the part of the directors for years past, been let, and
the plans and sections were prepared. Upon the comple-
tion of the Delhi line the success of their other undertak-
ings depended. The directors had been pressing the Go-
vernment from time to time to allow the works to proceed,
and they had at length consented to give the execution
of the works to the eminent firm of Messrs. I3rassey and
Co. lie believed it was the largest contract ever let to one
contractor, as it amounted to something like £5,000,000.
It was of considerable importance that the company should
ge, free accesstoDelhi,whiel was a great cent re of commerce,
and before the mutiny the trade amounted to £1,000,000 a
year. This railway would enter Delhi at one side, forming
a continuous line trent Kurrachee, while the East Indian
•

line would enter Delhi on the other side, funning a centime
ous line of railway from Calcutta, and by means of a junc
tion of the two lines near DtlLi a main line of railway would
be formed from Kurrachce, through the Punjab, via Delhi,
to Calcutta. The Delhi line would proceed from the latter
place to Meerut, which was the centre of country rich in
agricultural produce ; thence to Uruballah, a large military
station and a great depot for trade and commerce ; thence
to Loouhiana, a great place for manufacturers ; thence t
Jullundur and across the Bees river to a junction with the
Punjab Railway at Umritsur, nearly 320 miles in length.
The Delhi line would form the centre of a great arch of
railway communication from Kurrachee to Calcutta, and
from which all other lines must radiate on both sides of it
to supply any further communication that might be deemed
requisite. Ho drew special attention to the discovery of
coal near Pind Dadun Khan, connected with the salt range

and only required washing, and the coal was found tc be

present brought on camels' backs, and was broken into small
fragments in the carriage. The quality of the coal was tx-
cellent, and the only question was to its being in sufficient
quantity, but he thought there was no doubt of that. If the
Punjab line were extended to Peshawar and the Khyber
Pass, a branch line of between 20 or 30 miles would reach
the colliery, which would then be available for fuel over the
whole of their lines. The Punjab was the first province in
India that had had an exhibition of its produce and manu-
factures, also those of neighbouring countries ; and it had
had been gradually augmenting,
been successful. The receipts from Umritsur to Lahore
and it enabled the enter-
prising merchants of those places to comprehend what could
be done by railway communication, although the portion of
line between those places was only 32 miles in length. No
accident had occurred on the line since it had been opened,
and nothing had been lost in carriage from one place to the
other. A person could travel from Lahore to 'Umritsur,
transact his business there, and return to Lahore on the
same day, whereas before the railway was opened three days
were consumed in doing what could now be done easier and
better in one day. The advantages would be much niece
apparent when the line was opened throughout to Mooltan.
The whole of the Punjab line was nearly ready for opening
with the exception of about 40 miles, but this would be
completed in February next, and the whole line from Um-
ritsur to Mooltan, 252 miles in length, would be opened for

Wood in adapting the boats to the

their hands, the result would be a larger profit. The Scinde

impossible to tell what the profits of the railway were until
that question was adjusted. The Secretary of State for
India [lad taken a just view as to what belonged to capital
and revenue, and had given orders that the items should
be properly adjusted and charged accordingly. When that
was done the net earnings of the railway would be very dif-
ferent from what they appeared at present. The whole
commerce of Kurrachee for the year 1863-61 amounted to
£6,750,000, and for 1862-63 to
£5,500,000, showing an in-
crease of 20 per cent ; but the i▪

its infancy, and that it would be necessary to steam along

was therefore both a political and commercial necessity for
shortening the distance, and he was convinced that the
more attention they gave to Eastern affairs the more impor-
tant they would become.
Sir T. H. MADDOCK, deputy chairman, seconded the me-
tion for the adoption of the report.
Mr GOEZ said he thought it would be desirable to have
full and detailed accounts of their expenditure so that the
shareholders might be better able to judge of their progress.
No doubt the actual working expenses on revenue account
were less than had been indicated, and would be found so
when the items belonging to capital were ascertained and
deducted from working expenses on revenue account, He
did not complain of anything, as he had obtained answers

Trial of the Prince Imperial

The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com-
pany tried the first of their new Dover and Calais
boats yesterday afternoon at the measured mile on
the Maplin Sands. The new boats are three in
number, and although alike, and from the same
shipyard and mouldings, they are essentially ex-
perimental. The London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway are, in the Prince Imperial and the other
ships, feeling their way to the throwing across the
Channel that bridge about which so much used to
be said in after dieneespeeches. They contemplate
sooner or later to set down passengers on the soils
of France and England in the most safe, expedi-
tious, and comfortable manner attainable by ship-
building and engineering science. They contem-
plate divesting the Channel passage of all its
terrors, real and imaginary, and by that means in-
duciug those to travel on the Continent and in
England, who up to this time have not had courage
to make the venture. The task is one of time, diffi-
culty, and expense. It is attainable only by the
construction of a series of experimental ships, which
have first to be ordered, next to be constructed,
tried, and paid for. Little less than a year serves
the purpose of one experiment, and then the lessons
of an experiment are not mastered and improved
easily, because it is natural for the London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Railway Company to take the
most favourable view of the performance of their
costly purchases, and natural for the engineer and
shipbuilder to affirm, and to support the affirmation
by argument, that better machines never left a
workshop, and that more symmetrical, better de-
signed ships were never built. Probably a year is
taken up in arriving at the real facts—that is in reso-
lutely looking the matter in the face and once more
striking out with new ships, in which shall be em-
bodied all that is supposed worth embodying,
and in rejecting all :that it is presumed should be
rejected. As most people are aware, the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway has been in operation
some years, and the process of ship rejection, insti-

tuted from the first, has been, it is believed, vigo-
rously and faithfully carried on. The early and
later boats of the company may with truth be said
to mark the satisfactory progress of ship construets
tion scienco. When first required to produce ships
of great stability and speed for the London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Railway, shipbuilders and engi-
neers doing their very utmost could in a compara-
tive sense accomplish very little. In a relative
sense, that is, compared with the results of the pre-
sent day, there was nothing worthy of being de-
signated as speed, and of stability there was none.
Foul and heavy weather rendered a passage prac-
tically impossible, or if possible it was under an
oppression of shaking about and misery, not to
speak of time, that was sickening even to the oldest
salts. Going to Calais from Dover, or to Dover from
Calais, was only to be thought of if the weather was
calm, if the water was smooth, and if the barometer
was assuring. The state of things was intolerable.
New boats were ordered, and the previous ones

withdrawn, and got rid of in some way. But grea,
as was the improvement of the new boats on the
old there were still grumblers. The public were
put to trouble by the great depth of water of the
boats, that depth of water being given in the hope
of securing the steadiness of ship which all desire,
and the outcry against trans-shipment into small
boats was long and loud. Equal to the occasion, the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company
set to work anew, and the Prince Imperial tried
yesterday is the fruit of the experience, in the gross,
of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com-
pany—the point which shipbuilding and engineer.-
' ing science has at the present time attained.
The builders of the Prince Imperial and the other
now ships aro Messrs. James Atli and Co., Cabitt
Town, Poplar, and the engineers, Messrs John Penn
and Son, of Greenwich. Of Messrs John Penn and
Son it is unnecessary to say a word. Their fume
as engineers is world wide, and seldom has fame
h:en better earned. In the employment of Messrs
John Penn and Son the London, Chet!latn, and
Dover Railway Company may fairly claim the ut-
most confidence of the public. There will be no
breakdowns, and once steam is set on it will not be
shut off until the ships are tied up in harbour. So,
equally, in the employment of Messrs James Ash
and Co. Mr. Ash, although not an old man, pro-
bably occupies the enviable poaition of one of the
first naval architects in England. With few excep-
tions all the best merchant ships afloat are from his
designs; they are his bandy work. The highest
position attainable by a naval architect in the Eng-
lish private service was for years held by him. Mr
Ash was the naval architect of th© Thames Iron
Works and Steam Shipbuilding Company; the
greatest shipbuilding establishment, public or pri-
vate, in Europe or the worid. For some three years
past he has built a fair share of the fastest ships that
have run the blockade, and some months ago he
constructed the Eothen yacht for Mr Anderson, the
chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental Company.
Mr Ash's partner, a young man also, is a practical
engineer, favourably known as the son of Mr John
Stewart, of the Blackwell Iron Works. Thus in
the firm of Messrs James Ash and Co. there is a
combination that is rare ; excellence in the
art of designing ships, and practical skill in the
fitting of engines. That the London, Chatham,
and Dover Railway Company should place their
latest ships in the hands of Messrs James Ash
and Co. is a high compliment to the profes-
sional ability of the firm; and that the trust has
been worthily bestowed will to some extent be
obvious from the performance of the Prince Imperial
yesterday on the measured mile. But yesterday
only brought out the fair weather qualities of the
ship, as she has chiefly been constructed to face the
worst weather blowing in the English Channel.
That trial has yet to take place when the Prince
Imperial is put upon the Calais station—but the
result is not involved in doubt. Daring the heavy
gales which prevailed ten days ago the preliminary
trial of the Prince Imperial took place en the
Maplin Sands, and the behaviour of the ship was
held to justify the impression which prevailed on
board, that once the Prince Imperial is put upon
the station there will be few passengers who will
care to patronise the older boats. The preliminary
trial showed that experience has not been thrown
away on the officers of the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway Company, and that the Prince
Imperial and the sister ships will be a satisfactory
approximation to all that can be wished.
In the fittings of the Prince Imperial there are
some novelties. On deck there is a fine state saloon
suitable for a monarch, or a princely bride and
bridegroom. Engagements for the state deck saloon
will necessarily require to be effected in advance.
On deck also, and in the centre of the ship, there
two other less commodious, and slightly less aristo.
cratic, but still princely state saloons. Such are
deck innovations. Between decks there are three
more state saloons of the same class. The chief
saloon or cabin is elaborately, chastely, and con-
veniently fitted in white and gold with morocco
stuffing. In the centre there are the usual tables,
and around the tables the usual cushion seat but with
arms at intervals, which will contribute greatly to
the general comfort. Above the usual cushion seat,
but receding from it, is a circular sofa round the
chip, upon which the weary may rest their limbs
and be out of other people's way, To the ladies'
eLloon there is a separate staircase from the deck, and
all the lying dawn accommodation that is ever likely
to be required. Here again the fittings are in mo-
rocco. Forward, in the second class, there is much
the same comfort and arrangement that is to be
with rather more lying down space. Second class
found at present in the first classf
o the old boats,
passengers, es they
should be, are in the Prince Im-
perial well cared for. From the second cabin the
captain's state room is detached—a circumstance
which, better than any other thing, shows the spirit
