nCehseeaY Cheek, four years old, son of Charles Cheek, labourer,
residing on Kelvedon-road, near Coggleshall, by some
means fell down a well, which is used to supply the cot-
tages in that locality with water. Fortunately, a neigh-
bour soon after went for a pail of water, and while in the
act of windinz it up she thought it unusually heavy, when
on looking into the well, to her astonishment she saw
the little fellow clinging to the pail, his face covered with
blood. He reached the top, but became so exhausted
that he was obliged to loosen his hold, and he again fell
to the bottom. A labourer, named Rootkin, descended
and rescued the little fellow, and he is going on favour-
ably.

THE GUN-BOATS.

The Lynx, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant-
Commander Luce, was taken out of the basin at Wool-
wich at half-past 5 a.m. yesterday, and at 5 minutes
past 6 left for Greenhithe to have her compasses adjusted,
and take on board from Purfleet her powder and live
shells; her shot, both solid and grape, the latter consisting
of fifteen 3-pounder shot, covered with tarred sail-cloth,
and attached to an 8-inch iron wadding for each charge of
the 68-pounder Lancaster's oval guns having been taken
on board previously at WOolwich. The stokers employed
in the Lyux being new hands and inexperienced in the
manner of getting up proper fires in the furnaces, and
keeping them in good condition, had great difficulty in
getting up the steam while proceeding down the river, and
it was only while passing the measured mile at Long
Reach that the fires became more brisk, and the engines ran
up from 8 to 100 revolutions per minute, that she attained
greater speed, and although the full power of steam she is
capable of using was not raised, she ran the measured mile
in five minutes 10 seconds, or at the rate of 11.613 knots
per hour, the tide being slack and the wind ahead. The
engines worked well, and it is evident she will make fully
an average speed of it knots per hour with the greates
ease. 'She will leave Greenhithe to-day for Davenport and
the Black Sea.

The Snake is now having her engines of 160 horse-power
put on board, at John Penn and Sons' establishment, at
Deptford, and will be ready to be brought down to Wool-
wich on Monday next, wheie she is to be fitted and com-
pleted.

SMITHFIELD.
Although the supply of beasts in to-day's market was
very moderate, the demand for all kinds was heavy, at
Mondays curreno.Y. We were fairly supplied with sheep,
in which only a limited business was transacted, at unal-
tered quotations. Lamb is now out of season. Calves—
the show of which was comparatively small—ruled
and late rates were with difficulty supported. In pigs very
little was doing, on former terms. Mitch cows were dull,
at from 141. to 191. each, including their small calf.

Cheek, four years old, son of Charles Cheek, labourer,
residing on Kelvedon-road, near Coggleshall, by some
means fell down a well, which is used to supply the cot-
tages in that locality with water. Fortunately, a neigh-
bour soon after went for a pail of water, and while in the
act of winding it up she thought it unusually heavy, when
on looking into the well, to her astonishment she saw
the little fellow clinging to the pail, his face covered with
blood. He reached the top, but became so exhausted
that ho was obliged to loosen his hold, and he again fell
to the bottom. A labourer, named Rootkin, descended
and rescued the little fellow, and he is going on favour-
ably.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—A latter from a shareholder, claiming for me the
merit of the introduction of the electric telegraph on
the South-Eastern Railway, and a reply signed
" Walker," have appeared in several of the daily
papers.
It is due to Mr. Charles V. Walker, the able and
scientific manager of the telegraph on the South-
Eastern Railway, who does not appear to be the author
of the letter signed by a Mr. Walker, and whose name
is not mentioned in either communication, to state that
the degree of certainty and perfect action which has
enabled the electric telegraph to be used as a pro-
tection from accidents is, in a great measure, to be at-
tributed to the improvement introduced by that gentle-
man, and to his able management of this invention when
in its infancy.
The electric telegraph, which is undeniably the
greatest invention of the present century, is not the re-
sult of a single mental effort, or of a single individual,
and accordingly there are many who are entitled to a
share in this beautiful result, a brief mention of whom
may not be uninteresting to your readers.
The first important step to renderavailablefor making
signals the known power of conveying electricity by
metal wires was that of Oersted, who, in 1819, discovered
that magnetic needles were deflected by the passage of
a current of electricity through a wire parallel to and
surrounding them.

We had thus the main requisition of the present
needle telegraph ; butit was found that the action was so
feeble that a needle would not be deflected by a wire,
the battery of which was at a considerable distance, a
difficulty which was overcome by Schweigger, who found
that the deflecting power of the current was multiplied,
and its sensibility most increased, by passing a great
number of times round the needle a wire thoroughly in-
sulated by a covering of silk thread.
At the period of Oersted's valuable discovery, Arago
detected another law, which furnished a separate method
by which electricity might be made to convey message!
Nix., that the electric current had the
power of impart-
ing
electric magnetism to iron and steel, and shortly afterwards
Mr. Sturgeon, of Woolwich, invented the first
magnet, by coilinq copper in connection with a battery,
round a piece of soft iron.
This is the principle of action in the lectro
telegraph, which is worked to the extent of above 12,000 .magnetic
miles in America.
The power of deflecting
a needle by electricity was
i thus known as early as 1820, and n 1823 an experiment
to render it available as a telegraph was made by Pro-
fessor Barlow, of Woolwich, on 1,000 feet of wire, who
failed in obtaining sufficient
power to deflect the needle,
aid it remained for Wheatstone and Cooko to overcome

Russia. The Prince, a member of the Greek
Church, will first turn Catholic.

ARREST OF MAZZINI.

foiTiohive
;11..T

"A letter from Berne, of the 7th, informs us that
p rlazzini has been arrested at Basle. He was coming
°in Berne, where be had spent some days in the
hellB'''' of a patrician, to whom he described himself as
n Italian Count, greatly attached to Austria, and
driven into Switzerland by the fear of the cholera. Ac-
Cording, to our correspondent, the police has discovered
his residence, and was preparing to apprehend him,
when he absconded, and\ left for Basle, under a false
134111 e. The Government gave notice to the authorities
of his arrival and he was arrested on alighting from the
diligence."

A revolutionary protest is being present
._ex-
tensively circulated at Turin, and is sent by post to
the journals ; so at least we presume from our own
experience. The object of this protest is to cast a slur
upon
the present Government of Switzerland, for
its prudence in observing a strict neutrality, and in
preventing any revolutionary expediti ons from being
prepared in Switzerland against the Italian States.
The arguments are very poor, consisting chiefly
of a recapitulation of the great deeds performed by
Switzerland in the olden time to shake off the yoke
of Italy, and a complaint that she has now forgot-
ten all that glorious history, and become the faith-
ful ally of the Austrian police. Wherefore the
writer protests against what he calls the uncon-
stitutional conduct of Switzerland, and declares
that the Italians will revenge themselves upon
Switzerland on some future day, by exercising the
right of reprisal against the Swiss settled in Italy.
A letter from Naples of the 4th, in the Parla-
ment° of Turin, states that the cholera has sub-
sided in the former city, after carrying off 6,000
-victims. Cardinal Riario has been invested by the
King with the Order of St. Januarius for his fearless
conduct during the epidemic ; he used to get up at
five in the morning, and go the round of all the hos-
pitals, comforting the sick, and performing the duties
of religion wherever required. To relieve the most
Pressing cases of destitution the good prelate raised
money upon his plate and upon his estates, without
the slightest ostentation.
The Parlament° of Turin quotes advices from
Rome of the Ist., announcing that the cholera had
made much progress there, and that the Chevalier
Pistrucci a well-known artist, and superintendent
of the Museum of the Vatican, had died of the
disorder.

THE QUEEN'S ARRIVAL AT YORK.

Early on Wednesday preparations were in active ope-
ration at the York station of the North Eastern Rail-
way, for securing the comfort of the Queen. The arrival
platform, which is upwards of 300 feet long, was covered
with a rich tapestry carpet, and tables were arranged at
the sides and ends, filled with vases and flowers of the
richest fragrance. By the erection of barriers the public
were wholly excluded from the north, or arrival, side of
the platform ; the south side was filled by several hun-
dred of the principal families in the neighbourhood, who
were admitted by ticket, and the fair sex being in a large
majority, the assembled throng had a gay and animated
appearance.
A squadron of the 7th Hussars, under the command
of Colonel. Haggart, occupied a position near the Railway
Hotel, and were accompanied by their magnificent band.
The 2d West York Light Infantry, under the command
of Colonel Smyth (M.P. for the city of York), formed
the guard of honour, and with their regimental colours
and new uniforms presented a very martial appearance.
They were placed on the west portion of the arrival
platform, and presented arms on the arrival of the Royal
train, their excellent band playing the National Anthem.
The Royal train appeared without the city walls at
12.40, and as it passed through the Tudor arch, and en-
tered within the city, most deafening cheers greeted the
Royal personages.
The Archbishop of York, the Earl of Carlisle, the
Lord Mayor of York (Geo. Leeman, Esq.), and other
gentlemen were in attendance to receive her Majesty.
The train proceeded slowly into the station, and the
Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert and the Royal children, alighted at 12.44. The
Lord Mayor conducted her Majesty from the carriage, a
distance of about 50 yards, to the Station Hotel, where
a suite of apartments had been fitted up for the accom-
modation of the Royal party, and where a sumptuous
luncheon was served. _

General Arbuthnot, the commander of the district,
with his staff, were in close attendance upon the Royal
party.
Her Majesty remained in the hotel precisely 30 mi•
nutes, and at 14 minutes past 1 again appeared on the
platform, and proceeded to the Royal saloon amidst
deafening plaudits, both the military bandy playing the
National Anthem.

The Queen was pleased to express her admiration of
the 2d West York Light Infantry, and to pay a high
compliment on the corps for their admirable bearing and
military appearance.
The train left the York station at 1.16, and soon was
in full motion towards the north, the route being lined
with a loyal and enthusiastic throng for a considerable
distance from the city.

ARRIVAL AT DARLINGTON.

The Royal train reached Darlington at 3.15, being five
minutes before the time fixed in the time-table. At this
station strict orders had been given that no one should
bt., allowed to be upon the platform, and it was rigor-
ously carried out, it being stated to be the Queen's ex-
press order; consequently the number of persons assem-
bled was not large. A body of the county police, in
their dashing new uniforms, were on duty to preserve
order, under Mr. Superintendent Robson. A few
minutes before the arrival of the train, the Royal
standard, an elegant flag belonging to the Darlington
horticultural Society, was hoisted. On the train leav-
ing the station—one of the dirtiest-looking in the whole
route--a fresh engine was attached, and, after a stoppage
of about six minutes, it again moved off on its way to
the north. The people present, numbering several hun-
dreds, showed no enthusiasm, and we did not hear a
single cheer. A feeling of disappointment was prevalent
at not being permitted to display their loyalty, and it
is much to be regretted that it should be repressed.
