LONDON TO DUBLIN,

The class of steamers recommended by Mr. Lang are
to be 400 feet long, with 1,600 nominal horse power,
working up to 8,000 horse power by the indicator, and
drawing 13. feet of water. Mr. Penn, Mr. Scott Rus-
sell, and other eininenf engineers and ship-builders,
attest the perfect. practicability of constructing such
vessels with complete security and efficiency, and the
.1-awl.), naval gentlemen examined acknowledge the
adequacy of the corresponding harbourii of Holyhead
and 'Kingstown (Dublin) to accommo4te them. The
only difficulty that has been suggestO is that vessel

be as fatal running in upon natother as if she ran 25
miles an hour, and that the larger and swifter vessels ,!
provided would be but half/as long upon the water as i
the vessels now in use, and would necessarily greatly
reduce the number of vessels in the trade ; the effect of
the adoption'of the larger' class of vessels being, thus,
much to diminish the chances of danger from collision

question or expense, for steam-ships, like diamonds and
looking-glasses, are costly according to their size, far
beyond the direct ratio. This question of expense is,
however, we hold, quite unworthy of consideration

when we take into account the inealjulable benefits that

must attend every improvement in the communication

between the two islands,

The great—the immeasurable—benefits to be expected
from the improved communication, are two-fold--mili-
tary and social. First, of the military, not as the most
important, but as that to which the report of the com-
mittee more directly refers. It was stated, by all the
witnesses to whom the question was put, that one of
the vessels proposed by Mr. Lang would with ease carry
2,000 men, that is more than two regiments, across the
Channel in two hours and twenty minutes ; and thus

the Guards might, in case of emergency, be transferred
by steam vessel and railway from London to Dublin in
about eleven hours, and vice versa, the Dublin garrison
might with equal rapidity be brought to London • nay,
long within the compass of a single day might the gar-
risons of Galway, Cork, and Belfast be conveyed to the
metropolis of the empire. About seven or eight years
ago, when the Times was using, all its exertion to dis-
courage railway enterprise, we (and we were the first to
London, England, 1853-08-31

ment extended to this undertaking by your promise of
those contributions which now grace the Exhibition.
" Acknowledging with gratitude the hearty co-opera-
tion we have received from England and Scotland as
well as from foreign countries, in promoting that suc-
cess which we have laboured to realise, we earnestly
pray that your Majesty and your Royal House may
live long to witness and enjoy the increased prosperity
of your subjects, and the advance in all that can ele-
vate and improve a nation."

(IREWS'S CHLORIDE OF ZINC,
N._.) the best and Cheapest Disinfecting Fluid for the purification
of Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, W ater-closets, &c. ; the Disin-
fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of
Contagion.
Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innosious in itself. The high price at which it has
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifying
agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen-
trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price.
It is sold by all Che.nists and Shipping Agents in the United King-
dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels
at 6s. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
and use. Conce❑trated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with
200 times its quantity of water.
Orders executed by the Sole Agents, Messrs. Drew, Heyward, and
Barron, Bush-lane, Cannon-street.

NATAL COAL.—A prospectus has been issued of the
Cape of Good Hope, and Natal Coal and General Min-
ing Company, in 60,000 shares of it. each. The chief
object is to open up the supply of coal known to exist
at Natal, with a view to its consumption by the various
steamships calling at the Cape, especially in connexion
with the trade to Australia.
PERILOUS FALL.—An awful occurrence took place
the other day at the Llanllyfin Slate Quarry, North
Wales. A little girl about four years old, fell down the
Quarry—which is upwards of one hundred and twenty
feet in direct perpendicular descent. A. narrow ledge
runs round the brink of the pit about 16 feet below the
surface, and against this the poor child struck in her
descent, receiving several severe contusions, and having
some ribs broken. That she was not dashed to pieces
seems almost miraculous, as the quarry contained
broken fragments of slate, but it is thought her dress
must have become inverted, and acting as a parachute,
have caused her descent to be gradual. She is pro-
gressing favourably.
ELECTRIC LIGHT.—An experiment has been made
during the last two nights at the Pont Notre-Dame to
introduce the electric light in order that the works may
go on night and day without interruption. The first at-
tempts, although they have not completely succeeded,
leave hopes of ultimate success. The light at present
was found to be too intermittent to enable the workmen
to get on without danger.—Gcaignani,

CORK AND WATERFORD.

The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of
the above railway was held yesterday at the London
Tavern ; Mr. P. D. Hadow was in the chair, and, in
accordance with a recommendation in the report, a com-
mittee of shareholders was appointed to confer with the
directors, as to whether they should proceed with or
ahandon the undertaking.

LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CAMPBELL AND A WELSH
JURY.—In a case tried the other day, at the Denbigh
assizes, the jury having been some time in considering
their verdict, when the case was really a very clear one,
the judge told them that once when a jury had refused
to convict a prisoner who had made a plain confession,
a learned judge whom ho just remembered—Chief Baron
Macdonald—thus addressed the prisoner :—" Prisoner,
go and be honest, for your character is now so bad that
the jury won't convict you because they can't believe
your confession." [His lordship struck his hand on the
bench with some violence while repeating Judge Mac-
, donald's words, which were evidently intended as a
reproof to the jury.]
PROFANE SWEARING.—At the New Bailey Court-
house, Salford, a case of this kind was brought before
Mr. Trafford, magistrate, upon a summons, rather
reluctantly granted, at the application of a master
silk manufacturer, against his servant. Mr. Smith, the
applicant, said the offender's name was John Buckley,
a labourer in his employ, and he was in the habit of
using oaths which were most shocking to hear. On the
defendant coming into court the magistrate said,
"Buckley, do you plead guilty of swearing profane
oaths ?" Buckley—" Yes, when I'm out of temper."
Magistrate—" Then the act of Parliament says you
must pay a shilling." The court fees made the fine into
one of four shillings, which was paid. Mr. Smith was
beginning to lecture the man in court, when Mr.
• Trafford said, "I suppose you take the man into your
, employ again ?" Mr. Smith—" I don't know that."
; Mr. Trafford—" Because you can then finish your lee-
' ture at home instead of here."
London, England, 1853-08-31

SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company
was held at Shrewsbury—Mr. Ormsby Gore, M.P., in
the chair. The report was agreed to. A dividend of
31 per cent. was declared ; the retiring directors and
auditors were re-elected ; 1898 shares were forfeited, and
the secretary's salary was augmented from 3001. to 400/.
a-year.

YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK.
The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this
undertaking was held yesterday, in the De Grey Rooms,
York, Mr. J. Pulleine, the chairman of the company,
presiding.
The report, which has already been published, was
unanimously carried, as was also a resolution for a
divided of 3 per cent., payable on the 7th of September
next. _

--.
The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution, empowering
the directors to apply to Parliament in the next session
for leave for the amalgamation of this' company with
the York and North Midland and Leeds Northern.
This resolution was also carried nem. con., and also a
further one, authorising the directors to raise the sum
undertaken to be subscribed by this company towards
the construction of the Thirsk and Malton Railway.

In the next place, the CHAIRMAN proposed a motion,
sanctioning the construction of the Jarrow Docks, as
recommended in the directors' report.
A. long discussion ensued upon this subject, in the
course of which
Mr. JOHNSON (a shareholder) moved an amendment—
" That it was expedient to delay the construction of
these docks for one year, in order to see what would be
the effect of the extension about to be made in the Sun-
derland Docks."

On the question being put, the amendment was nega.
,ved and the original motion carried.

NEWRY, WARRENPORT, AND ROSTREVOR.
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders
was held here yesterday, at the Clarendon-rooms, South
John-street, Liverpool ; Francis Shand, Esq., chairman
of the directors, presiding. The attendance was small,
the chief business being the reading of the report, which
after a few observations from some of the shareholders
was agreed to. It stated that, " The whole of the for-
feited shares having been sold, the debt of the company
has been reduced from that source by the sum of 7,7001.;
but, much to the surprise of the directors, Sir William
Cubitt, the arbitrator between the company and the
Newry Navigation, had, by his award of 1,8501. against
this company, added so much to the outstanding obli-
gations. The terms proposed by the Newry and En-
niskillen Company'for effecting a junction were such
that the directors could not comply with them. The
directors had not yet succeeded in procuring the whole
of the money necessary to renew the debentures at 4i
per cent., at which they are willing to borrow. The
traffic on the line continued to increase, confirming the
confident expectation of the directors that when, at the
expiration of Mr. Dargan's lease, the line again comes
into the possession of the company, a much larger re-
turn might be anticipated."

immediately after the rejection of the Constanti-
nople project by the representatives of the four
Powers in Vienna on the 29th of July, Graf Buol
Schauenstein himself drew up another form of
arrangement which met with the approbation of
the other members of the Conference, and was dis-
patched to Constantinople for acceptance by the
Porte previous to being forwarded to St. Peters-
burgh. The date when sent off is not given.
An article in the Preussisches ijTochenblatt men-
tions as a certainty that the Vienna Conference
has stipulated, as the sine qua non of its media-
tion, the immediate evacuation of the Danubian
Principalities.
A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 25th ult.
mentions the arrival there of an Envoy Extraordi-
nary of the Shah of Persia. He was attended by
a numerous suite, and accompanied by a nephew'
of Prince Dolgorouki, the Russian Ambassador at

Teheran.
Accounts from Cronstadt, of the 25th ult., state
that the 3d division of the Russian Baltic fleet has
just returned into port, and the Commander Ad-
miralEpanischin had been summoned to St. Peters-
burgh. The 2d. division, which was at Kraisnaia-
gorka, bad also received orders to return. The
Ist division, which had not yet gone to sea, had
ceased all the preparations for doing so.

SPORT E

"GENCE,

TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY.
What with the settlement of the Brighton accounts
and the absence of several book-makers, whom the at-
tractions at Wolverhamp ton had drawn away, scarcely
any bets worth quoting cane under notice.
EBOR HANDICAP.—The transactions on this event
were limited to small sums. It is, however, likely to
be a good betting race.
ST. LEGER.— The favourite continued firm, notwith-
standing the advance of Sittingbourne to 4 to 1, taken
to 1001. ; the taker offering to go on at a fractional in-
cre .se of the odds. 4,500 to 300 was taken about Lord
Exeter's " lot."
DERBY.—Offers to take 20 to 1 about King Tom.
25 to 1 taken to a little money about Ruby, and 1,000
to 30 about Dervish. Sir James Graham, a new out-
sider, was introduced at 100 to 1, taken at 501.

BATH STEEPLE-CHASE.—RINGLEADER V. FORESTLAD.
—Although the principal book-makers who had bets on
this event have settled, despite the objections which
were raised against the stewards' decision, two or three
parties persist in holding back, on the plea that they are
not aware that law proceedings have been abandoned.
Were they inclined, however, to arrive at the truth, the
way is easy enough. It would be only to their credit
were they to follow the example alluded to above.
BRIGHTON RACES.— PAVILION PLATE OF 1001.—In
answer to numerous inquiries, we have to state, on the
authority of Admiral Rous, who was one of the stewards,
that a plate race is not considered a p.p. race ; and that
as a 50/. plate was substituted for the 1001. plate, ori-
ginally advertised to be run for, all bets on the latter
become void.

MARKET NEWS-{THIS DAY.)

COLONIAL.

SUGAR.—The demand has been limited both for export
and home use. Still prices are not lower. There is no
increase in the demand for duty-paid. Refined has been
brisk for home-made goods. Brown grocery lumps 465.
The quantity of British plantation landed last week at
East and West India Docks was 1,453 hhds., 66 tierces,
514 barrels ; there were taken for home consumption
3,637 hhds., 206 tierces, 807 barrels. The stock in the
same places is 12,791 hhds., 1,990 tierces, 4,407 barrels.
COFFEE.—There has been more demand for plantation
Ceylon, especially coloury sorts. Former terms are easily
obtainable. Mocha is firm, but not much asked for.
Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 574 puns. 3 hhds. ; there were
taken for home consumption 249 puns. 8 hhds., and ex-
ported 67 puns. 75 hhds. The stock in the same places is
9,207 puns. 448 hhds.
RICE.—At auction 683 bags Bengal were all taken in at
12s. to 12s. 6d. per cwt. The market is dull.
TALLOW.—P. Y. C. is 525. 6d. per cwt. on the spot, and
town 535. 6d. This article droops.

prove, and the exports are trifling.
