VENTILATING VATS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sla,—lf space can be spared in the crowded columns
of The Sun to insert the following simple and rapid plan
of ventillating vats in breweries and the fermenting-
backs in distilleries, it may be the means of preventing
loss of life from suffocation with carbonic acid gas
among the vat-cleaners—a class of men much pressed
for time at this season of the year, when the store-vats
require to be filled before the warm weather sets in.
The usual method of getting rid of the carbonic acid
gas consists in opening the man-hole and taps, allowing
ventilation to take place by diffusion; large vats of 1,200
to 11,800 barrels capacity, when foul, requiring two
or three days.
The plan recommended (and which has been in use
by the writer for three or four years) is, to pump in
common air by the portable force-pump (the jigger)
which is in use and at band in all breweries. The small
fire-engines, generally kept on the premises, can likewise
be used for the same purpose. In some establishments
force-pumps worked by steam power are employed in
pumping up water into tanks or in starting beer; these
pumps, after a little alteration, can as readily be used
in pumping in common air into the vats for ventilation
by the beer-main or by a hose, and the carbonic acid
gas " blown out" in three or four hours.

Lord Sandon, and a deputation, had an interview yesterday
with Sir George Grey.

EDUCATION.

Mr. EWART said he had attempted several sessions
to induce the Government to make regular statements
annually as to the state and progress of educa-
tion. He understood that he had the assent of
the Noble Lord to the propriety of such a statement ;
and he now begged to know whether it was the intention
of the Government to•order such a statement to be made
annually.
Sir GEORGE GREY said the measure which bad
been before the House several nights, made such a
statement so much more desirable.
Sir. W. MOLESWORTH begged to ask the Noble
Lord whether it was his intention to bring up the report
on Education the first thing on Monday night, for,
Lord J. RUSSELL—Yes.
Sir W. MOLESWORTH continued—Then he would
adjourn his motion till that night.
Mr. EWART gave a similar notice, in reference to
certain amendments which he had on the paper.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE lIOUSE.

The CHANCELLOR, of the iIaIEQUER, moved
that the House at its rising do adjourn till Monday.
COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY—EDUCATION.

On the order of the day forgoing into Committee of
Supply,
Lord J. RUSSELL presented a number of petitions,
which were not specified, further than that they were in
favour of the Government scheme of education.
Sir W. Clay,
Mr. Roebuck, and Mr. Bright presented
several petitions, from various places, against the Go-
vernment scheme of education.
Sir G. STAUNTON presented a petition from Ports-
mouth, very numerously and respectably
signed, pro-
testing against the Government- scheme of education,
which they deemed unsound in principle and unconsti-
tuloonally introduced. ne felt bound to say that he
totally disagreed from th© • '

The Committee was occupied the whole) of the day in
hearing the evidence of Mr. Brunel with respect to the
first-mentioned line, of which he is the engineer, and which
will be laid down on both gauges. He detailed at great
length the railway wants of the district, and stated that it
was of the utmost importance that the line should
be worked in connexion with the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton, and the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and
Dudley, of which, strictly speaking, it was an integral poi..
tion. He drew a comparison between his line and the Stour
Valley project of the North-Western, which he showed to be
in favour of his line. The line was necessary to afford the
required communication between the ma nufacturing and
mineral districts of that portion of the country which it was
proposed to traverse.
11is examination extended to the adjournment of the Com-
mittee until to-morrow (this day).

GROUP
SLEAl'Ore'D BRANCH.

- ---
The Committee met this morning at Twelve o'clock; Sir
T. D. Acland in the chair.
Captain Lawes's examintation was resumed, and stated that
there would be no .diffict iltv in accommodating the traffic
between the West Ridin; ;of Yorkshire and Norfolk. Much
of the yarn used in the '...iorwich fabrics being open at Brad-
ford, in order to be finis tied at the former place. There would
also be considerable shipments of stone, he had no doubt, both
at Sutton and Lynn. The Ambergate line, he asserted, was
to be a single line; b•at
Mr. Sergeant CLA•:tx stated that this was a mistake, as the
line was to be a dou We one, and all the contracts were already
made.

and the
Mr. West, a landed gentleman, residing at Lincoln, stated
that he was intimately acquainted with the district
property around Sleaford. He also attended the Wakefield
market, and ceul.d say that a great part of the produce from
that portion of Lincol;shire went there for sale. Of Lynn he

Mr. R. Hayworth, a manufacturer of sail-cloth at Chia-
nock, was then called, and gave evidence in favour of the
line between Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester.
Mr. Richard Greenham, glover, of Yeovil, was then exa-
mined, and gave evidence of the advantage which he would
derive by the transmission of his goods to the metropolis, and
the Exeter as well as the western districts of England, by
means of the proposed railway.
The Committee then adjourned.

The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of
the Bills comprised in this group:lre-assembled at the usual
hour this morning, Mr. Forbes Mackenzie in the chair.
COLCHESTER AND STOUR VALLEY (L.ll.

Members 'present—Mr. Eliot Yorke, Chairman; ;11r. Gill,
Mr. Parke, :1:r. Leigh, and Mr. Trelawny.

AIRDRIE AND 33ATHGATE JUNCTION
(AMENDMENT AND DEVIATIONS).

Mr. FORSYTH, fur the Monkland Railway Company, raised
a preliminary objection to the further progress cf the Bill in
this Committee on various grounds, and contended that it
might be transferred to the Committee which had the Glas-
gow, Airdrie, and Monklands Railway under consideration.
The Committee overruled the objection, and
Mr. A. IWNKILL, (f the Scotch bar, proceeded to open the
case for the promoters. Owing to the hurry of badness in
the last year, the engineers of the line had found it imprac-
ticable to arrive at that result which would best benefit the
public, and enable the company to construct their line at the
least possible cost, and they therefore desired to amend their
Act, so that by a slight deviation they might get rid of a
bad and dangerous curve, and save an expense of at least
10,000/,

'Mr. BURKE, who appeared for the directors of the original
Airdri e and Bathgate Railway, as petitioners against the
proposed amendments, was proceeding to state the objections
which his clients entertained on this matter, when
The CHAIRMAN said that the whole opposition appeared to
the Committee to be one which could be very fitly arranged
by a clause.

The room was cleared for the purpose of considering the
terms of the clause, and on the public being re-admitted,
The CHAntmAN announced that the Committee had re-
solved that a clause should be inserted in the Bill, reserving
to the original promoters the powers given by the Act of
1846.

The formal proofs were then put in, and the clauses were
partly considered.
The Committee adjourned without formally announcing
the finding the preamble proved, in consequence of the re-
port not having been received.

Mr. NEVirDEC4ATE said tlitit he was very anxious to
call the attention of the House to a petition which had
been presented against the Trent Valley Railway by the
magistrates, clergy, and gentry resident at Nuneaton.
The high road leading from the market-place of Nun-
eaton, in which centered the high road leading from Co-
ventry, Birmingham, and Allaston, was to be raised six
feet, for the purpose of being crossed at a level by this
line. The opposition which had' been brought
forward by some mistake had never gone Ise-
fore the Committee, otherwise the railway company
would have been compelled to build a bridge.

be done to meet the wishes of the petitioners, and in

WORTLEY V. CAMPLLNG AND ANOTHER.

In this case, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron
at the last Norfolk assizes, when a verdict was entered for
defendant, with leave to plaintiff to move to enter a verdict
for V. 18s. 6d.

Mr. O'MALLEY moved for a rule to set aside the verdict
on the ground of misdirection. It was an action of trover
against the overseers of St. Martin's, a parish in the county
of the city of Norwich, and was brought by the plaintiff,
who was the proprietor of a public•house, called the Maid's
Head, situated within that parish. It appears he had fitted
up the establishment, but the license had been taken out in
the name of a person named Charles Geddings, who carried
on the business for a time. The distress levied was for
church-rates, and Wine to the amount of the claim was taken
in execution.
Rule refused, as the venue was improper.

DARING ATTEMPT TO BREAK INTO THE NATIONAL
PROVINCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND.
. . •

About half-past 'one o'clock en Thursday morning the
manager was disturbed by a noise at the shutters, and on
throwing up the sash of his bed-room window he perceived
a man run away, dropping something that sounded like an
iron bar. On examining the shutters, it appeared that an in-
strument had been inserted between them to force them open.
They slide from the inside, and would have to be forced back
to obtain an entrance. The plate-glass was the next ob-
stacle; then came sundry iron doors, by which the safe is se-
cured; so that if the thief had got in at the window, he
would still have had some work to do before he got at the
cash. There is at present no clue to the parties.

THE THROSTLE.—These birds are just now more
numerous than agreeable in the neighbourhood of Garstang.
Mr. Saul, finding that they were making rather too free
with his new vegetable seed beds, was induced to search out
their colony, and, to his surprise, found no fewer than nine
of their newly .made nests within 200 yards of his garden,
all in a line, in one fence. It need hardly be added that he
remorselessly demolished every habitation.—Preston Chro-
nicle.
DUTCH CATTLE.— A vessel arrived in the river
from Nieu Dieppe, Holland,has brought, besidesB,7l9 cheeses,
96 bags of potatoes, 272 bags of beans, several casks of vege-
tables, 341 sheep, 1 horse, and 44 cows, the very large num-
ber of 60 calves, the production of that country. We do
not recollect so large a number of this particular and im-
portant description of young stock to have before been im-

THE BRIGHTON MID KENT SCHEME.

Mr. Hawkshaw, the engineer of the Manchester and Leeds
Railway Company, was called to confirm the evidence of Mr.
Sherrad. He preferred the Brighton line, notwithstanding
the gradients were not so good as on the South-Eastern line,
because the Brighton line was more direct than the South-
Eastern.

Mr. Cubitt, the engineer in chief of the Brighton Mid-
Kent line, confirmed the testimony of Mr. Hawkshaw and
Mr. Sherrad. The gradients on the Brighton line were not
so good as that of the South-Eastern, but the Brighton line
was shorter than the South- Eastern, and that saving would
more than counterbalance the bad gradients.
This closed the case for the Brighton Company.
The landholders' opposition was then gone into.
The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock on Mon-
day.

nock, was then called, and gave evidence in favour of the
