MARYLEBONE.

Yesterdayt a well-dressed middle-aged man, named James
cook, who or the last five or six years has been carrying on
his impositions as a fortune-teller, or diviner of future
events, at 40, Nutford-place, Edgware-road, was placed at
the bar before Mr. RAWLINSON, charged under the follow-
ing circumstances :
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was for-
merly a gentleman's servant, but relinquished his situation
to follow the more lucrative study of the black art, in
which he gained such a celebrity, that his dupes were not
confined to simple servant-maids and love-sick damsels, but
ladies moving in the highest circles came to consult this
great oracle, whose carriage customers amounted to 20 or
30 per day. Information of the nuisance having been con-
veyed to inspector Tedman, of the D division, he deter-
mined upon putting the wizard's knowledge of future events
to a severe test, and it was speedily arranged that the wife
of a policeman should call upon the prisoner, and have her
fortune told.
The prisoner, who had but little to say for himself, was
sent for three months to the House of Correction.

A new Church, under the direction of the Church
Commissioners is shortly to be erected at King's-cross, St.

Pancras.

Last week, during the fair at Troes, a temporary
bridge of ropes, imitating the principle of the iron suspen-
sion bridges, was thrown across the Seine for the accom-
modation of foot passengers. It was the work of a car-
penter of that town, and is likely to be adopted in other
parts of that district where the river is not very wilf,L,

BURSTING OF MRS. GRAHAM'S BALLOON

The expected ascent of Mrs. Graham's balloon, which
was to have taken place from Lord's Cricket-ground yes-
terday, and the failure of which upon the day previous had
been the cause of much disappointment to the public, has
been again delayed, if not altogether frustrated by the
bursting of the balloon, which catastrophe took place dur-
ing the process of inflation, and about an hour before the
time at which it was calculated it would be fully inflated.
Most fortunately no personal injury was occasioned by the
occurrence. There have been so many conflicting state-
ments regarding the event, that it was found extremely
difficult to ascertain the true one. By some it is attributed
to mismanagement in the inflation ; and by others, and the
greater number, to injuries sustained by the balloon when
coming in contact with the trees in the attempt on the
preceding evening, and also to decay of the materials
of which it was composed. The accident was not ac-
companied by any explosion. As may be supposed,
the crowd that assembled on the occasion at four
o'clock, with the expectation of receiving the promised gra-
tuitous exhibition as a compensation to the public for the
failure on Monday (the proprietors having announced that
tie entertainments last evening should be gratuitous), did
not bear with mach resignation their very disvereeable dis-
appointment. Instead of a charitable sympathy with Mrs.
Graham for the loss of her veteran balloon, as it may be
called, which had faithfully borne her in many a perilous
oyage, they gave expression, in no very measured terms, to
the irritation of their feelings. Mr. Hampton, who it was
announced would ascend in a safety parachute on the occa-
sion, was present during the evening, and reemed to regret
much the lost opportunity of making his intended descent.
It is but fair to say, that the disappointed spectators did
not seem to entertain towards that gentleman much of their
resentment, which none of the other parties concerned
escaped. Indeed,• Mrs. Graham seemed to have formed a
very wise anticipation of the nature of their feelings, for
immediately after the occurrence she got the balloon, with
all its paraphernalia, taken from the grounds.

SECTION G.-M ECH A NIC A L SCIENCE.

The PRESIDENT took his seat at eleven o'clock.
Mr. HAWKINS stepped forward for the purpose of exhi-
biting a small bust beautifully wrought in marble, the
whole operation having been performed by machinery.
Mr. FAIRBAIRN made known the result of his experi-
ments in hot and cold blast iron. At the request of the
Association, he said, he and his colleague had made a se-
ries of experiments on the relative strength of hot and cold
blast iron. The investigation had been conducted with
great care, and after a great variety of methods. They
had varied the form of the metal, and had subjected it to
every description of strain. Casts of 4 feet 6 inches long
and 1 square inch in thickness had been subjected to
a strain from weights. Wishing to ascertain whether
the iron, having given way
,to the pressure, only re-
quired time to break, they found that one bar of hot blast
broke in 37 days, with a pressure of 4481b5. The first
iron which they experimented upon was from the Carron
works, hot and cold blast. They found that the Carron cold
blasts broke with a pressure of from 394 to 4841b5., which
gave a mean of 439. The hot blasts 407.4 to 109.1, which
gave a mean of 404.7. Their next experiment with the cast
14- inch in thickness, but with the bar planed down to an
inch. The object was to try if the skin or outward surface
offered any material resistance. The result was with the hot
blast 478.6 to 429.3: mean 452.3. With the cold blast
448.6 to 456.6: mean 452.6.

Mr. FAIRBAIRN went on to detlil his experiments in the
different sorts of iron which he received from Scotland,
Wales, Staffordshire, &c.
Mr. ETTRICE described an artificial horizon which he had

invented for the purpose of taking observations at sea, when
the natural horizon was obscured, but the heavenly bodies
tigible.

Professor HENRY presented the section with a set of
maps of the canals, railroads, &c., of the United States. In
these States, he said, there were about 2,000 miles of cana►,
and 1,500 miles of railway. About 3,000 miles more or
railway were in progress, but had been partially suspended
in consequence of the recent commerci;zl embar►a sments.
Seine questions were put relative to the speed of steam
vessels in America. The Professor said, he was a professor
of physics and not a practical engineer, but he had himself
gone on the Hudson at the rate of 15 miles per hour.
Dr. LARDNER entered upon his discourse in elucidation
of his labours respecting steam navigation with India and
the United States. The Learned Doctor merely went into
the preliminaries, reserving the main part of his discourse
till to-day (Wednesday).
A table was then read, compiled from the logs of several
of her Majesty's packets, of one Post-office and one private
packet, showing the nun:ber of pounds of coals consumed in
each during every two hours, the rate of sailing per hour,
and the duty, or number of miles the vessel could be taken
on the expenditure of one ton of coals per horse power. A
ton of coals per horse power carried the Africa, for instance,
over 1,054 miles.

LIVERPOOL.

Mr. MERRITT read a paper on the state of education in
Liverpool, intended partly as a reply to the Report of the
Manchester Statistical Society oa that subjuct. The So-
ciety had taken the whole population of the Parliamentary
borough in 1835-6—estimated at 230,000, and calculated
that of this number one-fourth, or 57,500, consisted of per-
sons between the ages of 5 and 15, who ought to be under
some course of instruction ; 31,300 attended no schools
whatever. Mr. Merritt entered into several statements for
the purpose of showing that the proportion of persons be-
tween the ages mentioned was one-sixth or one-seventh
only, and not one-fourth of the whole ; that the number of
children to whom education should be furnished, according
to this rule, was only 36,516, instead of 37,500, leaving a
deficiency of only 9,400 without instruction, and from this
number he made a deduction on account of children edu-
cated elsewhere, leaving the total 8,500 only.
Lord SANDON, the President of the Statistical Section,
here entered the room, and took the chair.

Mr. TATE read another paper on the same subject.
Mr. FRIPP read a report on the state of education in
the parish of Siddlcsham, Sussex. The result was, that
out of a population of 1,002, 231 children were receiving
some sort of education.

BOW- STREET.

Yesterday a tall powerful young man, named Mathews,
conductor of one of Cloud's Hammersmith omnibuses, was
charged with assaulting Mr. Evans, a young gentleman re-
siding at Tmwell Lodge, Hammersmith.
It appeared that on Tuesday evening, at a quarter before
nine o'clock, the complainant got into the omnibus at Ken-
sington, with the intention of proceeding to the Bank, the
words " Hammersmith and the Bank" being painted con-
spicuously on the vehicle. As soon, however, as the omni-
bus reached Somerset-house, it pulled up, when the de-
fendant opened the door, and told the passengers, nine in
number, that they had arrived at their journey's end, and
that. they must get out. He then demanded one shilling
from each passenger, when the complainant said that his fare
was six-pence only, adding, that as the defendant declined
proceeding to the Bank, which he was bound to have
done, lie (complainant) would he compelled to pay 6d. more
for another omnibus to take him there. He then offered
the defendant 6d., which he refused to take, and, upon the
complainant sayinghe should not give him any more, he
seized him by the collar in a violent manner, and then
snatched his hat and pocket-handkerchief, swearing that
he should retain them until he received the shilling. The
complainant then called a police constable, into whose cus-
tody he gave the defendant, and he was immediately con-
veyed to the station.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that before
the passengers got into the bus at the place of starting he
informed them all that they would be put down at Somerset
House, and they were aware that a shilling was the fare
always charged at night.
The complainant said that no such notice to the pas-
sengers had been given ; and as to the charge of a shilling,
it had never been demanded of him before for the same
distance, although he was in the constant habit of travelling
to and from Hammersmith and London by the same con-
veyance.
Sir F. ROE, having consulted with Dr. Robinson, ob-
served that the assault was a very gross one, and called
upon the defendant to pay a fine of 51., or be committed
for two mouths to the House of Correction.

REFORM ACT.

The following is Lord John Russell's Bill for postponing
the period when rates must be paid to entitle borough elec-
tors to vote, and to abolish the stamp-duty on freemen's ad

mission :

" A Bill to regulate the times of Payment of Rates and
Taxes by Parliamentary Electors, and to abolish the
Stamp Duty on the Admission of Freemen.

" Whereas it is expedient to make further regulation as
to the payment of rates and taxes by., persons whose names
have been once registered as voters in the election of Mem-
bers of Parliament, and to abolish the stamp-duty payable
on the admission of freemen in boroughs returning Members
to Parliament :—Be it enacted, by the King's Most Excel-
lent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the
Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in the pre-
sent Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the
same, that after the passing of this Act, no person whose
name is or shall be upon the register for the time being, as
entitled to vote in the election of a Member or Members to
serve in Parliament for any city town, or borough in Eng-
land, shall be required, in order to entitle him to have his
name inserted in any list of such voters for any city, town,
or borough for the following year, to have paid any poor-
rates or assessed taxes, except such as shall have be-
come payable from.him previously to the 11th day of Oc-
tober in the preceding year.
" And be it enacted, that after the passing of this Act no
stamp-duty shall be chargeable on the admission of any free-
man in any city, town, or borough in England, returning a
Member or Members to serve in Parliament.

WRESTLING.

Yesterday the treble play commenced at the Royal Standard,
City-road.—The men were drawn by ballot, and as fine play
al ever was witnessed took place. The men were drawn so
very equal that the play could not be got through. Many
noblemen and gentlemen were present. This day the Cham-
pionship of England must be decided. Dyer, sea. and jun. ;
NVebber, Archer, sen. and juin ; Togood, Gundery, see. and
jun. ; Emery, Hill, Stacey, Truscott, &c., &c., will hare to
contend for both the first and second-rate prizes. The con-
clusion of this match excites greater interest than any other
that has hitherto taken place in the London ring.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.— We understand that
Mr. !Loper, the late treasurer of the Olympic Theatre, has
become the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre. He has taken
a lease of the theatre for five years, and, we believe, takes
possession immediately. Mr. Hooper has had a good deal of
experience in the management of theatres ; and few men are
more capable than he of turning a speculation of this kind to
goad account. We hope his success may be equal to the spirit
he has shown iii cutering upon speculation of such magnitude.

ST. JAMES'S PARK.—What a very great conve-
nience it would be to hundreds who daily have to pass through
St. James's Park to and from Spring Gardens and Bucking-
ham gates, if the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, would
allow the gate of the enclosure at the corner nearest to Spring
Garden's gate, opposite the Duke of York's monument, to be
opened to the public in addition to the other entrances. Great
numbers of pedestrians would very gladly avai lthemselyes of it
to enjoy a walk through those beautiful grounds, particularly
as the fine dry weather is approaching, in preference to the
long, gravelly, and dusty path they are now compelled to take ;
for the other entrance, opposite the Horse Guards, is too far
out of the way from Spring Garden gate for many to avail
themselves of it. The expense of this could not be much,
there being a gate there, and a gravel path leading from it.
The ship Royal George 477 tons, Captain Wilson,
left the West India docks yesterday morning, 17th inst., hav-

family and suite, for Prince Edward's Island, whither Sir
Charles is going as governor. They were attended on board
by the Duke of Richmond, Captains G. and R. Fitzroy, and
others of their friends. As soon as the Royal George got into
the river, she was taken in tow by a steamer to Gravesend ;
their friends accompanying them thither.

THA' HIPPODROME.

This race-ground will be open to the public on the 3d of June.
It consists of a large tract of ground, somewhat less than 200
acres in extent, adjoining Nottiug•hill. The design of it is,
as its name almost implies, to present the inhabitants of the
metropolis with a facility of pursuing any sort of equestrian
exercise. In the centre of the ground is a hill appropriated to
pedestrians, on which about 30,000 persons may stand ; this is
parted off by a circular railing, that they may enjoy the view
of the sports and exercises around them, without running any
risk of a contact with the horses. Without this railing is a
broad circle for gentlemen and ladies who ride on horseback,
either for private exercise or for the sake of witnessing the
sports in the outer circles. The next circle is a race-course,
and beyond that is a further circle for the purpose of a steeple
chase, fitted with all the necessary obstacles of hedges and
ditches, that the lovers of this hazardous diversion may enjoy
those risks which are its peculiar characteristics. This outer
course measures 2i miles in circumference. Altogether,
nature and art have done all in their power to render the Hip-
podrome as complete as possible, the former by placing so con-
venient a hill in the centre, while Mr. White (the projector),
es representative of the latter, has displayed the greatest ta-
lent and ingenuity in the construction of the various fences,
palings, and ditches, and, in short, in the arrangements of the
vi hole. It should be observed, that the °pedestrians on the
hill have a most complete view of all that is going on in
every one of the circles, and also enjoy a fine prospect several
miles in extent. That all orders of equestrians may be grati-
fied many horses will be kept on the spot, and be let out at a
moderate charge to persons desirous of riding in the Hippo-
drome ; a riding-master will also be in attendance to give
lessons: The Hippodrome is expected to open on the 3d of
June, when there will be two races fora 1001. plate each, and
a steeple chase. The undertaking is bold and original in
the extreme, and as the execution promises to be equal to
the design, it is to be hoped the public will reward the spi-
rited projector as he deserves.

NOTICE.

We shall be happy to receive ELECTION Com-
munications and Advertisements, from all parts of
the Country. The SUN circulates everywhere—
but more especially among large Constituencies.
THE SUN
IS ESSENTIALLY A
METROPOLITAN

COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

The EARLIEST INTELLIGENCE will always be found

in THE SUN.

FURTHER NOTICE.

Since the opening of the Grand Junction Railway
from Birmingham to the North, the circulation of THE
SUN has already greatly increased, and must con-
tinue to increase. The reason is obvious. THE SUN
can now be received in the North several hours
earlier than usual, so as in many places to become a
,
Morning Paper. A Second Edition of THE SUN,
giving the Closing Prices of the Funds, the last Prices
of Shares, Banking and other Companies, Market
Intelligence, Bankrupts, Army Promotions, and all
Political News arriving in London, up to the hour of
Post, may be received in Manchester, Liverpool, 4-c.,
the following morning ; and in Edinburgh, Glas-
gow, and other parts of Scotland in a proportionably
short time. The same principle will apply to other
parts of the country when once the Railroads are
open, and the sooner they are the better—for THE
SUN is a Railway Paper, having been the only Lon-
dolt Journal that for the last eight years consistently
and uniformly supported the extension of Railways.
Time saved is money saved—and distance saved -is
time saved. IVhen once the Railway principle is
universally in motion commerce will be trebled—and
young men entering on business, at the age of 21,
trill have seen us much of the world, and consequently
bCcome better and more intelligent citizens,, for all the
great purposes qflife, as their great great grandfathers
• did at the advanced age ofjbur generations. Know-
ledge is power—and a Newspaper contains every
species of useful knowledge in the most attractive form.

FLORICULTURAL FETE.

Yesterday the Metropolitan Society of. Florist and Ama-
teurs, patronized by her Most Gracious Majesty the
Queen, the Queen Dowager, the Duchess of Kent, and a
long list of nobles, held its first grand Floricultural Fete in
the Gardens of the Royal Bo.ulah Spa, Norwood. Those
who delight in the study of botany, are ever watchful of the
opportunities offered fm. a display of their favourite science.
On thi3 occasion they derived much pleasure from the ex-
hibition of choice flowering plants, arranged in all the
charming variety which the season now affords. It was a
beautiful array. The rich stores of Flora, including the
most modern exotics, caught the eye at every glance, whilst
the freshness and odour of the dowers produced n charm
which cannot be expressed by words. Luxuriant groups
of roses were most prominent.
" sweet to see the idar:t stems,
Yet dropping with Aurora's gems,
And fresh inhale the spicy sighs
That from the weeping buds arise."—Moore.
Another poet will aid us in this description :
" Not the bright sunflower's top of burnished gold,
The yellow jonquil, vary-coloured pink ;
The lily, dressed with innocence and grace;
The wild-born daisy and the violet blue;
Not the sweet woodbine, heartsease rich,
Purpled with gold dropt velvet, or the fair
But humble snowdrop, beaming through the mist,
Catch my admiring eye, like thy pure flower,
Emblem of infant innocence, sweet rose."
The gardens were opened at one o'clock, and visitors of
the mos-_ exalted and fashionable class continued to arrive
during several hours. It was a scene in which all seemed
_ _

" Charmed, delighted, and refined."
The prizes for the best specimens produced by the exhi-
bitor; were awarded as usual, and the attendance of the
Coldstream military band, which performed concerted pieces
of the first character, added to the general gratificr.tioll
and gaiety of the company.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Master of the Rolls this morning delivered judgement
n the following cases :

LOWE V. LAND.

The bill in this case was filed for the purpose of establishing
the will of the testator in the cause, and carrying its trusts
into effect. His Lordship stated, that he had since yesterday,
when the case was argued, looked into the cases that were
cited, and there was sufficient in them to persuade him, at
least, that he was not acting in opposition to any recognised
authority when he said, that according to the true construc-
tion of the will in question in this cause, the words " survivor
or survivors" ought to be read as " other or others." There
was en ultimate limitation in the will, clearly showing it was
not the intention of the testator that the sum of 10,0001.
should fall into the residue, except on failure of all the issue,
and that intention could not be given effect to unless the
words " survivor or survivors" were considered literally.
A declaration was therefore made accordingly.

MARYLEBONE.

Thursday, Mike Sullivan:, Thomas Baker, Thomas Ri-
ley. and Edward Salt, the first a ruffianly Irish labourer,
and the other three Paddington boatmen, were brought up
in custody, and placed at the bar, charged with the follow-
ing savage conduct :—On the previous night, Sullivan went
drunk into the Hope public-house, Stevens-street, Lisson-
grove, and began quarrelling with one of the boatmen. He
was at length got out, when a strong muster of his country-
men took place, and they paraded the streets, bidding de-
fiance to the boatmen. The latter party, however, felt no
disposition to fight in the first instance, but on one of them
remarking that the Irish were " a set of scoundrels,
and ought to be licked," a desperate scuffle ensued, in the

course of which nearly the whole party engaged received
divers wounds and contusions. 11'te policemen hearing the
disturbance hastened to the spot, bt it had no sooner arrived
there than they were knocked dowi 1, pelted, and kicked ;
but after a desperate struggle, they a ucceeded in capturing
the prisoners. The rest of the rail inly fellows escaped.
Sullivan was ordered to pay 3/. Rile - was mulcted in the
like sum ; and Baker in the amount of 405., Salt was
discharged.
