BELGIUM.

The following telegraphic dispatch was received
on Tuesday, in Paris, from Brussels :—" The Cham-
ber of Representatives met this day (October 26),
and proceeded to the nomination of its President.
After two ballots, M. Delfosse was nominated to the
office by 54 to 49, given to M. Delahaye."
The Conetitutionnel says :—" M. Delfosse, who
has just been chosen President of the Belgian Cham-
ber of Representatives, is the candidate whom the
Liberal party had substituted for M. Verb krn, after
the refusal of the latter. The logical consequence of
the election of M. Delfosse must have been the re-
turn to office of the cabinet which had just retired, if
M. Rozier had not announced the positive intention
to give up power, and if the state of the negotiations
with France.did not render a government of transi-
tion indispensable. It is, therefore, more difficult than
ever to forsee the issue of the ministerial crisis in
Belgium. It is much to be regretted that the two
parties, who reciprocally hold each other in check, do
not, by patriotic concessions, place M. de Brouckere
in a position to form a Ministry of compromise."

NEW NIGH7' SIGNALS.

TO THE EDITOR Of THE SUL

SIR,—In the Sun of the 18th, I observed with no
little degree of surprise, a letter addressed to the
editor, headed " New Night Signals—Rettids, not
Thomson's; containing also, some very severe animad-
versions on the Admiralty and myself, accompanied
by a long detail of supposed or imaginary grievances,
and a declaration, purporting to place the whole in
the hands of Mr. M'Gregor, M.P., with a view to
obtain redress from the House of Commons.

In this letter, I am charged by Mr. Rettie, as being
one of the underlings of the Admiralty, and as dis-
honourably and furtively depriving him of the merit
and pecuniary benefit of his invention. This gentle-
man I do not know, though I have had the satisfac •
tion of hearing him declaim, and ungraciously assail
me before a large audience in the London Exhibition,
and it was on this occasion that he explained his plans
to me, not knowing to whom he addressed himself,
that I discovered our inventions had no relation to
each other.

If Mr. Rettie takes to himself the merit of discover-
ing the process of staining glass, then, unquestion-
ably, he has the paramount right to the greater part

or 18 inches long, by 12 or 14 igh, having a power

two
large coloured glens slides, on brass rollers, to impart
the distinctive colours to the lens ; and, besides this,
there were three small lanterns, made of hollow coin
mon glass cylinders, red, white, and green; in each
of which there was fixEd an oil lamp, and by means
of these fixed in various positions, Mr. Rettie pro-
posed
to make signals of distress at sea. This is the
sum of all I have beard and known of this gentle-
man's plans.
It was in September, 1848, while serving as sur-
geon of H.M.S. Odin, commanded by the HOD. J. F.
Pelham, R.N., (now private secretary to the First
Lord) in the squadron of Sir Wm. Parker, Com-
mander-in Chief of the Mediterranean, that I was
first led to direct my attention to the defective state
of our night signals.
Bain g placed in the lee line and the advanced ship, we
had to eign4lieg to the Admiral, by means of a box of
illuminated letters and figures the ingenious inven-
tion of Capt. Wilmot, R N , but'
not being
able to
communicate beyond half a.mile, I suggested to Capt.
Pelham the importance of coloured glass, as a means
by which communication •
s At night with facility

might he made at several miles distance. The idea
was most kindly received, and, going immediately to
wark, I obtained every enconragement from the
various officers on board; all of whom occasionally
rendered their assistance towards the accompiishraent
of my designs ; the green and red (paddle-box)
lights, with the light from the mast-head, being used
in our experiments. With the aid of my messinates,
a complete and perfect table was constructed, enabling
113 to work horizontally up to 999 ; but the horizon-
tal arrangements proving defective, I reconstructed
the table, and hoisted my lights vertically as fl cgs,
so as to be seen from every point of the compass at a
glance. The whole of my plans, which were then
arranged and adjusted for our night work, were laid
before the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
and in June, 1850, a committee of naval officers, con-
sisting of Captain Chads, R.N., Captain Sir H.
Blackwood, R.N., Captain J. Blackwood, and Captain
Henderson, R.N., were appointed to test the merits
of my invention. Now, to my surprise, came several
competitors, all of whom were unknown to me—Mr.
Hobson, Mr. Rees, and Mr Rettie, &c., &c—and none
of whom had either circular lenses, a fixed vertical
table, or could burl] grease or wax. The want of the
latter, not taking into consideration the lenses, would
have diminished the communicating distance nearly
one-half.
My lamps at this period were constructed with a
white circular lens, having circular glasses within
and common wax burners.
A frigate was anchored, by order of the Admiralty,
at Spithead, and four miles measured, and marked
with a boat stationed at the end of each mile, by Mr
Roberts of the Blenheim. Rettie's and my lights
were hoisted on board the frigate, the former having
plain glass cylinders, and burning oil ; the latter with
circular lenses one inch thick, seven inches diameter,
burning wax. The committee now placed themselves
on board a steam vessel to examine the intensity of
the respective lights at various distances. Rettie's
small lights were seen at two miles, and after one
hour could not be detected beyond half a mile ; while
my lights were observed at three and a half miles, and
contined so for one and a half hours ; and this supe-
riority arose from the fact that I used circular lenses,
whereas Mr. R. used common glass. Now, with
common glass, we find it impossible to signalize accu-
rately, as the late experiments in the Western Squa-
dron, under Admiral Corry, abundantly testify. At
the close of our experiments at Portsmouth, the com-
mittee recommended the continuation of the common
ship's lantern ; but we found that the plate glass, or
blown glass, caused the rays to disperse and inter-
mingle and blend, so that frequently lights were mis-
taken or rendered difficult to detect in hazy weather,
whereas with the lenses this was not the case.
The various trials of lights sent in to the committee
at Portsmouth, by order of the Admiralty, continued
throughout a period of nearly two years ; and it was
on this occasion one of my opponents, who had pa-
tiently struggled for years with plate glass in vain,
acknowledged to me my success.
The committee, at the close of our first experiments,
suggested to me the propriety of withdrawing the
coloured cylinders, and applying the colouring mat-
ter to the lenses, as the former, from their very fran-
gible nature, did not seem suited for sea purposes.
This alteration overturned my table, reducing it from
999 to 400; but this number at one hoist was deemed
ample for all night work, and was a vast improvement
on the old system, which gave only 19 signals.
All my opponents having withdrawn, I now direct-
ed my attention, under the supervision of experienced
naval officers, to bring to the greatest efficiency and
distinctiveness the coloured lenses, which, when
finished, received the favourable approval of that com-
mittee which had been appointed by the Admiralty to
test the practicability of coloured lights as a means
of signalizing by night at sea, without rockets or
guns. In the presence of an enemy the latter were
always objectionable, and are to be deprecated, and
when with steam are totally unsuited.
On the 22d of May, 1852, I received an order from
the Admiralty to join H.M.S. Prince Regent (under
the command of Captain Hutton) of the Western
Squadron ; and from that period to this I have been
nightly engaged in completing and perfecting my
plans ; and with the efficient aid of Lieut. Hope, Flag
Lieutenant to Admiral Corry, I have been enabled to
reconstruct my tables ; and it is satisfactory to think,
that, without the least assistance from Mr. Rettie or
the least suggestion of his, I can make any number,
spell any word, and work the day vocabulary or
Marryatt's Merchant Signal-book, by night, from one
to three and a half miles, with facility.—l have the
honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

FATAL DUEL REAR EGHAM.

Yesterday, the four prisc.,ners, Baronnet, Allain, De
Mournay, and Barthelemy, charged with being accessory
to the death of Al. Frederick Cournet, who was shot in
a dud at Englefield-green, were brought up before the
magistrate?, Mr. J. Briscoe, pre3iding, Colonel Chat-
loner, Captain Seymour, Mr. Edgell, Mr. Dobinson, and
the Hon. Captain Cavendish.
The examination was conducted in the Town-hall of
Chertsey, which was crowded on the occasion ; and
smong tho. o present, we observed M. Louis Blanc, with
several of his countrymen ; Mr. Albert Smith, Mr.
Woods, the coroner for the district, and several ladies.
Mr. Huddlestone appeared for Barthelemy and Motu-
nay, and Mr. Parry for the two other prisoners, Atkin
and Baronnet.
Mr. Grszebrook, the magistrate's clerk. then stated
that through the activity of Superintendent Biddlccombe,
s two further evidence would be brought before the hench
since the last examination of the prisoners, and Bug.
Bested that they had better go through the depositions
as they were originally takes, and then add any fresh
evidence that the witnesses might wish to give.
The Chairman said this would be the most convenient
course, and the witnesses were subjected to cross-exami-
nation after their depositions were respectively read.
Nothing, however, of any importance was elicited, be-
yond what has already appeared.
Mr. Hayward, cross examined by Mr. Parry, said he
remained with the deceased from the time he was first
called to him until tire o'clock. Never saw a person
manifest more concern towards another than Allain did
for the deceased in his distressed state. Bsronnet
showed the same kind feeling towards the deceased.
Mr. Biddlecombe, the chief superintendent of police,
stated that since his last examination by the bench he
had found on Allain a seal (produced) which corres-
ponded with a sealed impression on a piece of brown
paper, and had Allain's name written upon it, and was
found in the field where the fatal duel took place.
The declaration made and signed by two of the ac-
cused (Baronnet and Allain), wherein they admitted
being seconds to Cournet, but refusing to disclose the
name of the principal, was then read to the Court by M.
Henri Van Limn.
Francis Farquharson, a cab-driver at Windsor, was
then called, and gave his evidence in such a contradic-
tory and impertinent manner, that Mr. Huddlestone and
Mr. Parry severally addressed the bench, and said they
believed the witness was intoxicated, and therefore his
evidence ought not to be received in a case of so great a
moment for the parties accused.
Colonel Challoner said that the witness's conduct bee
fore the Bench was most unwarrantable, and the Bench
decided that his evidence should be expunged.
alHenry Hand, the secretary at Mr. Green's shooting
whichgler appy, in Leicester-square, repeated his evidence,
eared in our yesterday's columns, and identified
a Frenchman in court, named Pardigan, as one of the
three who came to hire the pistols.
Francois Pardigan was then examined, and his evi-
dence interpreted by Mr. Bryon.—lle deposed as follows:
—On Monday, Oct. 18, at seven o'clock in the evening
he was persuaded by Allain, with whom he was inti-
mately acquainted, to accompany him and another
person, named Breams, to procure some pistols. They
went to one shop, but could not obtain what they
desired. The two persons with witness then went to the
shooting gallery, Leicester-square, and requested the
master to lend them a a pair. After agreeing as to
prce, they took away the pistols (produced), and left Si,
as a deposit. They said the pistols must be sealed up,
and witness said he had some sealing- wax at his rooms.
They then all went there, and Allain and Bresson each
put their fingers down the barrels and remarked that
they must dry them. They each took a pistol and
wiped the barrels out with some rag rolled on a stick,
both of which were furnished by witness. The piece
of rag was of the size of a pocket-handkerchief,
and
witness tore it into stripes for them. The stick was
made of whalebone, and was longer than the barrel.
They continued cleaning them in this manner until
there was no longer any dirt on the rag. They then

pieceof strong brown paper, tied it with string, and sealed
it with 13 seals, and wrote on the paper, " 13 seals, rolledca m u
p e
Allain; 13 seals Bresson. The pistols were then given
to Bresson.

Cross-examined by Mr. Parry—Both Allain end
Bresson acted, as far as witness knew and believed,
honourably in the affair of cleaning and sealing up the
parcel containing the pistols. Witness has known
Main for six or seven months, and always know him to
be a man of honour and a gentleman. Also knew
Baronnet, for whom witness entertained high respect.
Mr. Biddlecombe then said that ho had no further
evidence at present to bring before the Court.
Mr. Parry then addressed the Court on behalf of Ba-
rennet and Allain. He said it would be idle in him to

cially after the honourable admission made by his clients
of being parties concerned in this fatal rencontre. He
the ro
Cocuor,
trusted, however, that the bench would listen to his ap-
peal for bail on behalf of his clients; and remarked that
by a recent Act of Parliament they had full power to do
so. The Six-Mile-Bridge affair was a precedent, as in
that case the prisoners were liberated on bail. He (Mr.
Parry) would never believe that any jury would convict
his clients of the crime of murder, for everything had
been done by his clients to dissuade the deceased from
fighting the duel. He Mourne° was their dear and
old friend, and us such they obeyed the call of friend-
ship and honour in accompanying him to the fatal
field. He (Mr. Parry) appealed to the bench whether
such gentlemen as his clients. who had acted so honour-
ably throughout the whole affair, would, if trusted with
their liberty, be likely to evade the law. No, for his
part, ho (Mr. Parry) believed that they might be bailed
on their parol, but his clients' friends were prepared to
bail them for any amount the bench might Sr. He
would add one word as to the fact of finding the piece of
rag in the pistol. His clients had acted as men of
honour. The pistols were given to Bresson, who had
chosen to keep out of the way. The pistols were loaded
by the seconds, and, as far as they were concerned,
nothing underhanded took place. Mr. Parry then con-
cluded a forcible address by saying that his clients threw
themselves upon the mercy of the English law, and
trusted that their application would be granted. Ho
must add, that his clients requested him to express their
deep sense and obligation for the great kindness Super-
intendent Biddlecombe had shown them since they had
been under his charge. They believed that gentleman
had alleviated, as much as was in his power, their pain-
ful condition.
Mr. Huddlestone then addressed the bench on behalf
of his clients, Barthelemy and Mournay. He was not
surprised at the course his learned friend had taken, as
from the confession Baronnet and Allain had made they
had clearly implicated themselves in the duel. Mr.
Huddlestone then strongly urged that bail might be
taken for his clients on the ground of the insufficient
evidence against them, saying that the magistrates had
full power to admit them to bail; and concluded his
forcible appeal to the bench by thanking them for their
attention to his remarks.
The bench then retired, and after being absent for
about 20 minutes, returned, and
The Chairman (Mr. Briscoe) said that the bench had
maturely considered the remarks of the learned counsel,
and that they were unanimous in the opinion that they
could not accede to their request, but that they might
apply to a higher tribunal.
The prisoners were then committed to the next assizes,
and the witnesses severally bound over to appear at the
trial.

THE PRINTING PRESS IN CHANCERY.

The printing press in Chancery Don't bo afraid
—not as a client, but as a conqueror.
Oh Sugden—Sugden 1 You wrote a book "on Powers,"
but little did you think you would ever have the Power
you exercised last term by your order, to cut down
Chancery pleadings to reasonable lengths, and oust the
time-hallowed apparatus machinery of brief sheets,
-hall
wed
margins, copying clerks, copies, and
the rest of that awful and costly machinery of word-
spinning, by the introduction of printed bills and claims,
drawn in forms no longer than are necessary, and in
language intelligible to clients as well as conveyances
and councillors.
Of all the mighty services the Printing Press was
ordered on, this is surely among the mightiest.
It has marched into Courts, and absolutism has re-
tired before it into Cabinets, and diplomacy has
shrunk into insignificance; into Parliaments, and public
opinion hab become greater than Ministers.
But hitherto Chancery was barred against it—Mysti-
fication, Procrastination, Amplification, Reduplication,
and Obscuration still sat there, guiding the pens of the
law stationers, and twisting folio after folio of verbiage
round a cvAsc, that it took years to unwind, and wrap-
ping up facts in skins of parchment, till clients, convey-
ancers, councillors, chancellors and all lost sight of 'ern,
and had to spend years in hunting out what they had
spent years in hiding away.
And at last into this sanctuary of verbiage and chi-
cane comes the Printing Press, introduced by Edward
Burtenshaw Sugden, Lord St. Leonards—let his name
be given at full length—and so surely as that conquering
machine has penetrated here, so surely will cheapness,
simplicity, and clearness follow in its train.—Punch.

SPORTING NOTES.

No. CCCXXXVI.
THE T.NIURSERY STAKE 3, &c.
The races at Newmarket yesterday, with but one ex-
ception—the 15 sous. liandicap—wero highly uninterest-
ing, therefore, I shall only comment upon Michaelmas
Maid's race. For that the ring laid 6t05 on her chance,
which pr ice she justified by taking the lead, making all
the runnine, and winning very easily by a couple of
lengths; Tittle Tattle being beaten nearly three lengths
for second place. Stella, Game Chicken, and Desdemona
could not live the pace. Immediately after the race
they made the winner first favourite, at 5 to 2, for the
Second Class of the Nursery Stakes; though, for my
part, I scarcely know why they should, as the Maid's
race yesterday:was over the first-half of the Ab. M.,
and the Nursery Stakes, to-morrow, is run over a very
different course—the 1). M.
The Nursery Stakes this year having obtained thirty
acceptances, according to the established rule they were
divided into two classes, fifteen to each. The weights
for the First Class range very wide, from 9,4 to 5t
61b. Pelion, who is favoured with the top weight,'is al-
ready by it placed hors de combat. Exact at Bst 811;is no
better off Placid at 7st 121 b, cannot possess much
chance. Talfourd is the first that is weighted reason-
ably; but at 7st 61b, I am afraid he is called on to
concede too much weight to several in the race. Ante-
verta at 7st 41b, does not look amiss, the distance suiting
her. She has already beea elected the favourite, at
small odds. The Hersey colt, and Margaret of Anjou,
at Est 121 b each, I cannot fancy. Eaton, at Est 111 b is
very well "in." The Belle Sauvage filly, Winter, and
Sister to Caraeara, at Est 101 b each, are held perfectly
safe by Eaton. Game Tommy, Est 91b, will like the
D.M. to-morrow better than he did the first half of the
Ab. M. yesterday. Feramorz, Est 81b, is a wretched
brute, scarcely worth his training expenses. Lady Ger-
trude, let loose at sst 12th, has hitherto run so wretch-
edly, that, even favoured as she is by the handicapper,
her chance is bat an indifferent one. At the bottom of
the list, at the comparative feather of sst 61b, stands
General Anson's Nerve, the daughter of Charles XII.
and Jennala. This animal has appeared in public twice;
first at the Liverpool July meeting, where, carrying
Bst 41b, she finished a good third to Sylphine for the
Mersey Stakes; and, secondly, at York, where, with 7
at 101 b up; she also ran third to Locket, for the Tyro
Stakes. Neither of these performances were very bad;
and, I think, considering the weight she will carry to-
morrow, she ought to be the winner; at any rate, I shall
look to John Scott for the victor in either NERTA or
EATON. Game Tommy and Anteverta, I expect, wil,
be handy to the first two.

In thwe Second Class of the Nursery Stakes, the
weights range from Bst 71b to 6st 51b—North Pole head-
ing the list—who is, I fancy, rather too heavily weighted,
though likely to run well. Audubon at 7st 131 b, is not
in badly. Tavistock at 7st 91b, is no go; and I think the
same remark will apply to the Potentia colt. Auchin-
leek and King David are equally out of it at 7st 71b each.
Jacquelin 7st 61b, is well bred for the distance; but whe-
ther she can give the weight required to Michaelmas
Maid, is a question I cannot answer. Dove at 7st 61b
is perfectly hopeless. Jack the Giant Killer has a
fairish chance at th• same weight as the preceding
Doublethong can have no hope at all. Michaelmas
Maid is in very favourably at 7st llb; and, as I fancy
she can stay the distance, is very dangerous to be against.
Little Swift at Est 13th, is in the hopeless list; and Alti-
tude at 6st 111 b, is in the same plight. The Treacherous
filly at 63t 111 b, I know but little about, and expect but
little from. Brightwaltham at 6st 51b—the feather of
the lot—is a horse suited to the distance, and blast, un-
doubtedly, run well. In BRIGHTWALTHAN or Ml-
_

CHAELNIS MAID, I shall expect to find the winner; and
Jacquelin will, no doubt, run very forward.
At the conclusion of yesterday's notes, by the substi-
tution of the word "run" for " win," in the fourth line
from the bottom, the sense of the observation about the
four matches was entirely altered.
Umbriel will, I believe, walk over the 300 soya. Stakes.

EWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

TUESDAY.
THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE.-FURTHER PARTI-

CULARS.
The start took place at two o'clock, Grief, after the
first fifty yards, taking the lead at his best pace, followed
by Ephesus, Babette, Brawn, Knight of the Shire, Pan-
cake, Russborough and many others, whom, from the
great interval between the upper and lower ranks, we
could not distinguish. Except that Hobbie Noble, who
was one of the last off, was in the first flight after running
two or three hundred yards, there was no change worth
speaking of until they reached the turn of the land;
Grief here beat a retreat, leaving ten or a doien horses
in advance, so nearly abreast, that it was impossible to
say which was leading. In rising the hill there were
various secessions, and at the Duke's Stand the race was
left to Bobbie Noble, who now had a decided lead,
Knight of the Shire lying second, and Lady Evelyn
third, the next lot consisting of Babette, Weathergage,
Indian Warrior Ruasborough, and Herbert. The Knight
of the Shire taking the second place a few strides beyond
the Duke's Stand, followed his leader until within one
hundred and fifty yards of home, headed him in the cords,
and won easily at last by two lengths, Hobbie Noble
beating Lady Evelyn by a length and a half, Babette
fourth, Herbert fifth, Indian Warrior sixth, and Weather-
gage, seventh. Run in 1 min. 14 sec. Value of the
