SOLAR RINGS AND MOCK SUNS.

TO TEM EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—An interesting phenomenon commenced at 5.45
this afternoon and lasted until 6.40. It consisted of a
circle of light of 46° in diameter, which had the sun for
its centre ; three mock suns were situated on this circle,
the one at the ape; and the others on the east and west
horizontal level of the sun. These mock suns had long
tails proceeding from them in a direction diametrically
opposite to the true sun. A second ring (of which about
190° of the upper half was visible) of 90° in diameter
also having the sun for its centre, on which there were
two other similar mock suns situated on the sun's hori-
zontal level, and a third ring of 45° in diameter, the
centre of which was situated at the apex of the first-
mentioned ring, and the base of which passed through
the true sun. The rings and the five mock suns were
faintly tinged with prismatic colours. Cumuli clouds
near the phenomenon. After sunset cloudless.—l have
the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

The question relating to the introduction of Mr. Card-
well's committee of new clauses in the London, Brighton,
and South Coast, the North London, and other railway
bills now before Parliament, as a first step to improve
railway legislation, is appointed for discussion to-night
in the House of Commons. It appears that great efforts
have been made by the directors of several railway com-
panies to obtain the rejection of those clauses, prepara-
tory to the intended overthrow of the general measure
to be brought before the house on the Ist of May, for
facilitating the transmission of traffic from one railway
to another, and compelling railway companies to forward
the traffic over the various lines of railway in a manner
most conducive to the public interests, and at the same
time it is believed for the mutual advantage of the share-
holders in the respective companies. Some of the railway
directors and officials strongly object to the pro-
posed interference, and also to the power in
the bill sought to be conferred on the Board of
Trade of regulating the traffic arrangements, and
settling differences that might arise between railway
companies, deciding on the amount of tolls in certain
cases to be charged and paid, and on the hours for the
starting and arrival of railway trains at certain points
of junction with lines of hostile companies. Bad as
" the vicious system of railway legislation" has been
heretofore, and which has been so bitterly complained
of at railway meetings, it seems it is not to be given up
without a struggle. 'With regard to the objection raised
against the adjudication by the Board of Trade, it is
rather remarkable that in almost every case of dispute
between railway companies for some years past the rail-
way companies have invariably addressed the Board of
Trade on the subject for redress in some shape or other,
with a view to induce that Board to interfere in the mat-
ter, and finally to undertake a settlement of the difference.
In many railway bills the companies hive provided that
in case of dispute the matter should be referred to the
Board of Trade, or to some arbitrator to be appointed by
the Board of Trade. The proposed general measure will
require some useful modifications to secure the interests
of shareholders, and to meet objections that may be
raised, and to carry out the objects of it successfully
and satisfactorily. There can be no doubt, however,
that any simple and effective measure that may have the
effect of doing away with the necessity of, or pretext
for, all sorts of amalgamations, improvident leases, and
unwarrantable guarantees, which have already depre-
ciated railway property to the extent of several millions
of capital, will meet with the most strenuous opposition
of directors, lawyers, Parliamentary agents, and other
interested parties, as it would at once cut off a very
fruitful source of profit, and condemn the policy pursued
for years past by a number of large railway companies.

THE NEW FRENCH SETTLEMENT IN
THE PACIFIC.

The Minister of Marine has received further intelli-
gence from the new French possession of New Cale-
donia. In a report, dated from the village of Balade,
December 5, 1853, Admiral Febvrier des Pointes states
that having in October despatched the John Millay, an
American vessel, to Sydney, for provisions, he sent an
armed boat to visit the mouth of the Jahot river, and
ascertain whether it might be a proper place for win-
tering. The expedition was quite successful, having
found a spacious bay with a clayey bottom at the mouth
of the above-mentioned river, twelve miles from Balade.
Meanwhile a strong blockhouse was constructing at the
last-mentioned place, to guard against any attack
from the natives. The Prony having arrived on the
30th of October, the admiral was enabled to visit the
bay himself, which he found partly formed by the steep
coast of New Caledonia, and partly by a considerable
island, which, by its high mountains, shelters the bay
from the west and south-west winds. The sea is broken
by the coral reefs which surround the island of Bou-
lablo, and by a sandbank which bars the entrance to
the bay on the north. At the mouth of the Jahot
is a bank of clay, which, however, is at a depth of
three metres and a half at low water, and is not
dangerous, as vessels cannot break against it. M.
des Pointes employed a fortnight in surveying the
mbai river,nleks alreadyfwr ehmichi t

1 this magazine is to be constructed so as to fit it for t"b
of
racks, with battlements ; so that the cross firear-
from
these two buildings would render any approach to them
impossible. The sanitary condition of the crews of the
Phoque and Prony was excellent, showing that the cli-
mate is healthy. Iron, copper, spar, and porphyry
have been found on the very surface of the island,which
must therefore be rich in mineral wealth. In a second
despatch, of Dec. 30, Rear-Admiral des Pointes an-
nounced the arrival of the steam-corvette Catinat on the
7th ; and his own departure on the 31st for Amajca,
London, England, 1854-04-27

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
—Great Indian Peninsnla Railway Company ; Louth
Waterworks ; Madras Railway Company ; New River
(Hertford Sewerage Diversion, &c.) ; New River (New
Reservoirs, &c.) ; Weymouth and Melcombe Regis
Markets and Pier.

. The following bills were considered and ordered to be
read a third time :—Darlingtou and Barnard Castle
Railway, Eastern Counties Railway (Station Enlarge-
ment, &c.), Manchester Court of Record, National.
Assurance and Investment Association, Newcastle-upon_
Tyne Docks, Perth and Dunkeld Railway, and South
Eastern Railway (Lewisham to Bromley, &c.).
The following bills were read a second time and ordered
to be committed :—Paisley Waterworks (No. '2) ; Elec-
tric Telegraph Company (No. 2) ; Royal Conical Flour
Mill Company.
On the motion for the second reading of the Thames
Embankment and Railway Bill,

Lord LOY...UNE moved that it be read a second time
this day six months.
Sir J. V. SHELLEY seconded the amendment, be-
lieving that the embankment of the Thames was a scheme
which ought to be undertaken by the Government, and
not left to a private company.

Mr. CARDWELL said wthe Board of Works were
opposed to the bill ; but the hon. member who had
charge of the bill was unavoidably absent, and it was
for the house to decide whether they would dispose of
it in his absence.

Mr. BOUVERIE thought they ought to delay the
decision.
The amendment was then withdrawn, and the second
reading was postponed until Monday next.

WATERFORD AND KILKENNY.

The report of the committee of investigation, ap-
pointed at a special meeting of the shareholders on the
2d of March last, states that the expenditure on capi-
tal account to the 25th of March, 1849, amounted
to 274,673/. and thence to the 25th of March, 1854,
to 238,0491.—t0ta1, 512,7221. Since 1849, 6,8781.
had been paid for engineering expenses, including
1501. paid for the furniture of a house for one of the
directors, improperly placed to this account. The
whole extent of the line to be constructed in 1849 was
20 miles. Prior to that date 12,8331. had been ex-
pended in this department, and ought to have been suffi-
cient for the engineering expenses of the entire railway
to Waterford. The sum paid under the head of Parlia-
mentary and law expenses since March, 1849, amounted
to 15,6321. ; and, it appears, a further sum is due to the
London solicitors of 3,5821., and to the Irish solicitors
of about 3,0001., making a total sum of 22,2141. since
1849. The committee find that 22,7821. had been paid
under this head up to March, 1849, being at the rate of
2,0451. per mile. The committee are extremely dissatis-
fied with this department on the ground that they con-
eider the charges excessive, and that the payments have
been made in a loose and most unsatisfactory manner,
the board appearing to have paid large sums to the
solicitors without any accounts whatever. In one in-
stance a sure of 4,0001. was paid, for which the com-
mittee can find no account whatever. The average cost
of land was 1,7611. per mile, or 1761. per acre, which
appears to the committee to be most exorbitant, consi-
dering the actual value of the land. The sum
paid on construction account averages 9,3721. per
mile upon 29 miles of railway. The line when completed
with rolling stock will cost at least 17,0001. per mile ;
in the original prospectus it was stated that the total
cost would not exceed 8,000/, per mile. The committee
complain of the way in which the contracts for works
were let and executed—the want of accommodation for
goods traffic at Kilkenny, the insufficiency of the via-
duct over the Nore, and they state at least 50,0001. will
be required to make the railway safe and efficient. The
existing traffic arrangements are condemned by the com•
mittee as wholly inadequate to the requirements of the
undertaking, and they consider that a great deal of in-
jury has been inflicted on the company by the board
persisting in promoting the Kilkenny and Great South-
ern and Western scheme. The committee conclude by
stating that they are unable to state with any certainty
the extent of the company's liabilities, as 28,000/. will
be required to renew and complete the works. The
contractors claim 30,0001. for compensation, and the
solicitors 3,0001. i❑ excess of the sum of 17,2001., which
was stated by the directors at the last meeting as the
total amount of the liabilities of the company.

THE MILITIA.

The Essex Rifles have just completed the first week 1
of training, and in that period very satisfactory progress
has been made. On Tuesday afternoon the regiment
marched, for the first time, to Wivenhoe-park, where
some field movements were gone through in a very cre-
ditable manner. As on the last occasion, there will be
two training days in the park weekly, Wednesday and
Saturday being at present named for the purpose. The
general training takes place in the Ordnance-field, which
is of ample extent. The exercises have been highly satis-
factory, the advancing and retiring in line being pro-
nounced by competent judges equal to many regiments
of the regular services. We are glad to find that a con-
siderable number of the privates of this regiment avail
themselves of the benefits of the reading-room which
has been provided for their accommodation at the public

hall.
The South Herts Yeomanry Cavalry, under the com-
mand of the Earl of Verulam,
will assemble at Hatfield
(head quarters), Herts, for eight days' permanent duty,
including two extra days' marching to and from head-
quarters. The regiment will be inspected on the 27th
of May.
London, England, 1854-04-27

PETITIONS.

Petitions were presented by Mr. Horsfall from 4,300
inhabitants of Liverpool, praying that beer-shops be
closed on the Lord's-day ; by Mr. F. Scully, from Mid-
dleton, in Cork, against any legislative interference with
conventual establishments ; by Sir V. Shelley, from Mr.
A. Novello, praying for inquiry into the conduct of
the Post-office in charging postage for his cata-
logues ; by Mr. Miall, from the Congregational
Union of England and Wales, and 17 petitions from
different places, praying that the University of Oxford
be thrown open to Dissenters of all denominations.
THE TROOPS AT G.,A.LLIPOLI.

Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR gave notice that to-morrow
he would call the attention of the Secretary at War to a
letter in yesterday's Time 3, from their correspondent at
Gallipoli, respecting the accommodation of the troops
there.

ST. PETERSBURG.

A letter from Berlin of the of 22d says :
" Intelligence has been received here of the death
of Baron Rochow, the Prussian minister at the
court of St. Petersburg, which event took place in
the Russian capital on the 20th."
BERLIN, WEDNESDAY.—The Journal de St. Pe-
tersbourg contains a notice by which the Minister
of Finance allows English and French vessels six
weeks from the 19th of April to clear out of Rus-
sian ports in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff,
and six weeks from the 7th of May to clear out of
Russian ports in the Baltic.
Enemies' property in neutral bottoms will be
regarded as inviolable, and may be imported into
Russia.
The subjects of neutral Powers on board ene-
mies' ships will be unmolested.
A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 15th, says :
—" The Government has decided that the prisoners
of war made by the Russians shall be conveyed to
the governments of central Russia. Prisoners, who
are renegades or refugees, are to be treated as pri-
vate soldiers, whatever their rank may have been
in the army of the enemy. Such prisoners as are
subjects of Austria are to be handed over to that
power."
A sharp east wind was blowing on the 13th at
St. Petersburg. The Neva and the waters of Cron-
stadt were still frozen over, and nothing seemed to
intimate that a thaw was near at hand.

THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGEN, Tuesday, April 25.—The English
cruisers have taken the following ships, and brought
them in here :—.Phonia, Biorneborg, Fidentia,
Aina, Louisa, Christinenstab, Nadeschda, and Hel-
singfors. The two last were captured in the
Cat tegat.

To render the blockade of the coast of Finland
effective, one division of the English fleet has gone
to the Gulf of Finland, the other to the Gulf of
Bothnia.

HAMBUJIG, April 23.—Admiral Napier had
formed his fleet into three divisions, but dispossd
io such a way, and sufficiently near each other,
that he can, in case of need, reunite them for
battle. The first of these divisions takes up its
station near the Gulf of Livonia, and is not far from
the ports of Polandgen, Libau, and Windau ; the
second in the same gulf, in sight of Riga Harbour,
so that it can prevent all communication by sea ;
and the third is placed at the entrance of the Gulf
of Finland, for the sake of observation, not far from
Sweaborg (Helsingfors), where the Russian Baltic
squadron still keeps close. Two English steamers
are cruising pretty near the latter port.
A letter of the 21st says :—Since the wonder-
ful Court intrigue, which has resulted in the Mi-
nistry retaining their portfolios, in spite of both
King and Parliament, n °thing material has occurred.
Some of the dismissals have been kept back—it is
hoped they are adjourned sine die. Those of Major-
General Andres ) and Professor Hall, two of the
most distinguished men in this country, are
already gazetted ; as is also the appointment
of Martensen to be Bishop of Sicelland. There
is also a lull in warlike affairs, the fleet
having made Gothland its head-quarters. There
are four merchant-ships, prizes, lying in our roads,
from Kioge Bay. The crews
having been sent up
have been sent ashore, with the exception of the.
skippers. The Cumberland has reached Kioge
Bay. It is not yet known whether the national
party will make any fresh efforts at this moment.
The present Cabinet has not six supporters in both
i
houses ; t has violated the Constitution by the re-
vengeful dismissal of the Parliamentary chiefs who
voted against it; and has taken no single step, after
a lapse of two years and a half, to inform the na-
tion what it intends by its programme.

PRINCESS'S.

No holiday piece was performed at this theatre last
night ; but the patrons of the drama appeared abundantly
satisfied with the performances provided for their enter•
-
tainment. The play of Richard 111., as adapted to the
stage by Mr. Charles Kean, is a representation which has
always charms for the, play-going portion of the public.
The rapid succession of events—the stirring scenes of the
battle-field—the, faithful portraiture of a character which,
if not hislorically impressive, is, at least, poetically cor-
rect, all conspire to make the tragedy one of enduring
interest. Of the performance of last night it will be only
necessary to say that it was characterised by that propriety
of treatment, poetically feeling, and general consistency
which mark all the representations produced under the
management of Mr. Charles Kean. The appointments of
