An extraordinary eagerness was shown to back the
Danebury horses for the various events on which we have
quoted the prices—thus, 5 to 4 was laid on Cossack for the
July Stakes (6 to 1 laid on Thursday last against him), 3 to
1 taken eagerly, and in some bets 5 to 2, about Mendicant
for the Liverpool, 10 to 1 repeatedly about the Hero for the
Goodwood Stakes, 40 to 1 to win a great stake, about Cos-
sack for the Derby, and even money offered on Pyrrhus the
First against anything for the St. Leger. Apart from the
batch of favourites we van only select Camera Obscure as
having been in any great demand. 10 to 1 was taken
about her, to five or six hundred pounds, and 9 to I to about
another hundred ; the Hero, who was first favourite at the
commencement of the betting, leaving off "second best.
The betting, which again took a wide range, but, generally
in small amounts, closed at the following averages ;

HEATH'S GALLERY OF BRITISH EN-
GRAVINGS. Part; X. and XI.

Portrait, landscape, and domestic or incidental en-
gravings, are here collected together, with fly-leaves of
:,pprcpriate letterpress. Mr. Charles Heath, in su-
perintending this publication, is by no means
injuring his reputation ; on the contrary, each
engraving is worthy of this age of advancement in
the fine arts. Lady Charles Beauclerk and the Mar-
chioness of Douro—one the beauty of hilarity, the other
of'pensiveness—have faces delightful to contemplate;
and their portraits are here given with an air of
extreme naturalness.

PICTORIAL GALLERY OF AIiTS, Part XVIIL

From its profusion of wood-cuts, and its useful com-
pilation of antiquarian matter, this periodical is wholly
apart from rivalry. It is extraordinary how so much
excellence can be produced for three groats.

the legislative adoption of free trade, concede to its
bitterest antagonists the meed to which they are so
fully entitled ; we must give them credit, as we have
already elsewhere done, for the display of extraordinary
abilities. No one could listen to the impassioned and
sometimes lofty oratory of Lord Stanley in the pas-
sage of the Corn Importation Bill through the Upper
House, without regret that such rhetorical brilliancy
and fervour of mind should be squandered away upon a
theme so ineffably worthless ; nor could any dispas-
sionate man listen to the sarcastic and even witty vitu-
perations of Mr. Disraeli without a hope that that
honourable gentleman would ultimately perceive the
fallacy of his present opinions, and the glaring invidi-
ousness of his personalities to Sir Robert Peel. Al-
though there was something sinister in the language
then used by Mr. Disraeli, we trusted that that charac-
teristic of his proceedings as a debater would be, in the
end, dissipated ; and we could not acknowledge to our-
selves the possibility that the House would in his
instance (as he erroneously anticipated it would to the
then Premier) "seal with the stigma of parliamentary
reprobation the catastrophe of a sinister career 1" We
could not acknowledge to ourselves the possibility of
such an occurrence ' • nor can we now. We are fain to
augur better things for Mr. Disraeli, because we long to
behold his undoubted talents turned to their right use.
Now that the political world is emerging from storms
and turmoils, opportunities will present themselves for
redeeming his recent blunders. As the working of a
free-trade system developes itself the Protectionists will
behold their error—their peevishness will subside, and
their animosities die away. The author of "Sybil" and
"Coningsby" will, we hope, triumph in the end over the
assailant of that great Patriot and Statesman, Sir
Robert Peel. The Ox/ord and Cambridge Review ap-
pears to have renovated its strength under the auspices
of Lord John Manners.

PRODUCTION OF COAL IN THE
DIFFERENT STATES OF EUROPE.
After iron there is certainly no produce of the mineral
kingdom which exercises a greater influence on our com-
mercial relations than coal.
The following is a statistical sketch of the produce of
that article in the different countries of Europe:—
England possesses the richest veins of coal, both as
regards quality and quantity; they form a line from the
south-west to north-east. In Northumberland and
Durham, from the Tweed to the Tees, coal abounds at
IThitehaven, in the hills of Cumberland, in Yorkshire.
and in Lancashire. The most abundant mines are in
Wales.
The consumption of coal in England and in exporta-
tion is so great, that it has often been asked if the mines
would be exhausted; but, according to calculations made
in proportion to the present consumption, they could not
be exhausted under 1500 years—the yearly consump-
tion in Great Britain is 20,000,000 to 21,000,000 tons.
The exportation increased in the following propor-
tions:—ln 1830, 505,421 tons; in 1832, 588,450 tons; in
1834, 621,256 tons ; in 1836, 1,101,000 tons ; in 1838,
1,413,800 tons ; in 1840, 1,162,300 tons ; in 1842,
2,120,000 tens; and in 1844, 2,410,000 tons.
The number of miners exceeds half a million.
English coal is to be had in every part of the civilised
world; there are depots at Rio Janeiro, at Odessa, at
Archangel, and at Constantinople.
France does not produce enough coal for her own con-
sumption, and is obliged to import. She possesses 250
mines, of which 182 are worked, and which rendered in
1844, 72,000,000 cwt. of coals, to the value of 21,000,000 f.
(840,0001.) The produce is increasing, as in 1815 they
only rendered 17,000.000 cwt. ; 40,000 men are em-
ployed in the mines, and traffic belonging to them ; in
1842, the importation of coal into France amounted to
16,718,328 cwt.
France imports her coal from Belgium, England, and
the Prussian provinces on the Rhine.
Spain draws but slight profit from her abundant
mines. The principal mine is in the Sierra Morena—
the produce is not known. They import but little. In
some of the principal Spanish ports there are depots of
English coal for the steamers.
In Portugal there are depots at Figuiers, at Coimbra,
and near Oporto.
The principal mines of Italy, which produce annually
from 149,000 to 150,000 cwt., are in the Savoy, and near
Genoa. The others scattered over the Penninsula are
of little value, and there are depots of English coal in
the principal ports.
Belgium possesses immense mineral riches ; in this
country production increases. In 1831, the produce
amounted to 42,800,000 cwt., and in 1844, it reached
84,232,420. In 1844, the exportation amounted to
1,050,000 tons, a value of about six million florins
(600,0001.)
Holland has no coal mines. There is a single mine in
the county of Limberg. They import all their coal from
England, Belgium, and the Prussian provinces.
Switzerland, though rich in metals, has very little coal,
and imports a quantity from England. The only mine
of any value in this country is at Hochefeld: in 1845, it
produced 514,969 cwt.
Norway has no coal mines. In Russia the production
of coal does not exceed 800,000 panda. It seems that
between the Don and the Dnieper, and in Siberia, there
are rich coal mines, and the Government are now taking
measures to turn them to account.
Denmark has one insignificant mine at Bornholm, and
imports nearly all her coal from England.
Austria is rich in coal mines, but the produce is not
in proportion with the number of her mines The an-
nual produce of coal in Austria is at least 12,000,000
cwts.; in 1843 it did not exceed 9,000,000. Of this
amount Bohemia produces about one-half; Moravia,
2,000,000; Austria, 1,500,000; Styria, 1,000,000; Ca-
rinthia and the districts of Ogragno, a little more than
500,000; Hungary, 600,000; the coast lands (Kusten-
land), 600,000; Galicia, 3,000; Lombardy, a very small
quantity.
Coal mines exist in nearly every province of' the mo-
narchy. In Bohemia there are veins of this mineral all
along the river Beraun, in the north of the districts of
Klattan, Pisen, and Rakovitz, to the neighbourhood of
Prague. There are coal mines in the Erzgebirge, in the
valleys of the Eger and the Biela, and at the foot of the
Riessengeberge. from Schatzlar to Landskron.
The principal mines of Moravia are in the district of
Brunr, near Rossitz and Oflovan, and the coal near the
mouth of the Oder is of a superior quality. In the
Archduchy there are mines near Wieper, Neustadt,
Klingeufurt, Grunbuch, and Gloggnitz ; in Styria, near
Leoben, and Fohnsdorf ; in Carinthia, in the valley of
the Levan, and in the neighbourhood of Prevali ; in
Dalmatia ; in Lombardy, in the districts of Como and
Pavia ; in Tyrol, near llaring ; and in Hungary, in the
Carpathian Mountaias.
In 1814, Austria exported 973,065 cwt., of which
703,262 cwt. were sent from Bohemia by the Elbe to
Saxony, 25,433 cwt. to Turkey, 23,210 cwt. to Southern
Germany, and 20,542 cwt. to Prussia.
Prussia possesses 540 coal mines, giving employment
to 25,000 workmen. The produce, in,1844, amounted to
53,000,000 cwt., or a value of 4,500,000 dollars (675,0001.).
In 1841, Prussia imported 3,865,944 cwt., principally
from England. Her exportation was 6,903,474, to Hol-
land, France, and Poland.
In Bavaria the produce is not what it might be; there
are 40 extensive coal mines, principally in her Rhenish
provinces; the produce is about 1,200,000 cwt.
In Saxony the mines are worked with zeal; the pro-
duce amounts to about 4,000,000 cwt.
There are extensive mines near the forest of Thuringen.
The Grand Duchy of Baden possesses some valuable
coal mines.
In the kingdom of Hanover there are coal mines
which occupy more than 1,000 workmen.
Wirtemberg is poor in this respect. The Grand Duchy
of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the Grand Duchies of
Mecklenburg and Olembourg do not possess coal mines.
In the Electorate of Hesse there are some valuable mines,
producing annually about 900,000 cwt.
Generally speaking, the production of coal in Europe
is susceptible of being greatly developed, especially in
some parts of the Austrian dominions. It is true that
during the last few years much has been done, but there
is still much more to do.
The produce of coal in Europe amounts annually, on
a rough calculation, to 120,000,000 florins, or 12,000,0001.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
yLYMOUTH.
MownAv.—The fids of Vincent are in high spirits this
morning. Mr. Vincent has had interviews with some " lead •
ing parties," who have engaged to aid his return. He has
seen, it is stated, several of the leading Dissenters and Wes-
leyans, who had pledged themselves not to support Lord
Ebrington on the ground of his Lordship's approval of the
Maynooth Bill ; and they have promised him that they will
not vete for or interest themselves on behalf of Lord Ebring-
ton—that they will be neutral ; he has also had an interview
with a deputation front the Chartists, but with what success
we have not been able te learn. At half-past twelve o'clock
he addressed a large meeting, consisting principally of work-
ing men, at Caldown. The exposition ,of his -views was
listened to with apparent satisfaction, and at the close of
his address three cheers were given for Vincent with hearty
goodwill.
Lord Ebrington's friends, confident of their strength, are
not making any effort whatever.
The election is appointed for Fri* next.

DEVONPORT.
JULY 6.—This morning the mayor, W. P. Blackmore, Esq.,
publicly read the writ and the precept of the Lord Lieu-
tenant of the county for the election of a Member of Par-
liament. The election is appointed for Friday next, when
Sir G. Grey will be re-elected without opposition.

Her Majesty the Queen will give a grand entertain-
ment to his Highness Ibrahim Pacha and the several mem-
bers of his suite, to-morrow evening, at Buckingham Palace.
The royal invitation was received by the Pacha last evening.
His Excellency Sidi Ahmed, the Envoy Extraordinary from
the Bey of Tunis, and the attachés of his mission, are also
invited to partake of the royal hospitality.
Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker and Lord John

Hay have been appointed to the Board of Admiralty. Lord
Marcus Hill is to be Comptroller of the Household; and the
O'Conor Don one of the Lords of the Treasury.
Lord Fortescue will, it is said, accept the Lord
Stewardship of her Majesty's Household.
THE WOOL SEASON.—The setting•in of the wool
season is again effecting a change in the nature of the car-
goes of the Hamburgh steamers. The Queen of Scotland
last week had only room for two cows on deck, and the Helen
Macgregor, which arrived on Saturday last, was piled up
with as much wool as her tarpaulings would secure from the
sea, having no less than 800 bales on board. The Victoria
arrived on Tuesday morning with a full deck cargo of wool.
—Hull Advertiser.

----- -
THE JAMAICA RAILWAY.—The traffic return of the
second quarter of this railway shows a decrease of 9,256 pas-
sengers, as compared with the first quarter, but an increase
in the goods traffic almost quadrupling the previous return.
The decrease is attributed to the effects of novelty at the first
opening, and the increased communication with Spanish
Town during the first quarter, owing to the sitting of the
Assembly.
SUDDEN DEATH BY DRINKING WHEN HEATED.—
We last week reported a death caused by drinking too much
water, and we are sorry to record a similar occurrence. On
Saturday week an Irish labourer, residing in Love-street,
while engaged in hoeing potatoes near Roslin, on the
Greenock-road, had been so thirsty, owing to the heat, that
he went into a public-house and got a bottle of porter, but
not feeling his thirst quenched, he next drank half a Scotch
pint of buttermilk, which caused almost instant death.—
Renfrewshire Reformer.
NOVEL IMPORTATION.—A vessel, called the Freden,
which has arrived in the London Dock from Russia (Odessa)
in addition to a cargo of Russian tallow, had 1,250 bomb-
shells on board. So singular an importation is remarkable
and worthy of notice.

was entertained. Towards nine o'clock the heavens became
suddenly overcast, and numberless clouds were seen travers-
ing the sky with unusual rapidity, and in opposite directions.
Soon after nine o'clock the storm burst forth with terrific
fury. The forked lightning was distinctly visible even in
the glare of daylight, and at one time a stream of fire appa-
rently of the width of a man's body was seen darting to the
earth. The electric fluid at about a quarter-past nine o'clock
struck a building occupied by the Independent body of
Dissenters as a Sunday school. The children were assembled
and had engaged in prayer and singing, when one of the
windows was suddenly dashed in, the wood work of the
frame being shivered in pieces, and seven or eight of the
children were thrown upon the ground. One poor fellow, a
lad of about 16 years old, named Edward Harcourt,was killed
upon the spot. The electric fluid penetrated his breast just
over the region of the heart, and passed out by his foot. He
was the son of poor parents, but a remarkably intelligent and
pious youth. Two others of the boys lie in a precarious state,
and one of them it is feared cannot recover. From accounts
brought into the town, I fear that we shall hear of accidents
in other places. At Taunton, Minety, Tiverton, and other
towns, the storm raged with fearful violence; and at the
Tiverton-road station of the Great Western Railway an
electric meteor darted across the line, near the telegraph,
within a minute or two of the passage of the first down
train.

THE NEw MILITARY PRISON, ST. GEORGE'S BAR-
RACKs, TRAFALGAR-swarm—This prison is now com-
pleted, and will be transferred to the authorities this day.
All the prisoners will be confined in separate cells, under the
control of a provost-sergeant. Each cell is provided with a
hammock and bedding, a stool and table, as well as a
bell, that the prisoner may ring in case of illness or any
sudden emergency. During the day the hammock will be
removed.
CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. W.
Baker, jun., deputy-coroner, held an inquest at the Town of
Ramsgate,
Wapping, on the body of a new-born female child,
which was found in the river Thames on Saturday morning
last. It appeared from the evidence of Jas. Legon, the son of
a waterman, that on Saturday morning he was rowing off
Union-stairs, when he observed something floating astern
of a barge. He repaired to the spot, and found it to be the
body of a new-born infant, and conveyed it ashore in his
boat to Mr. Marshall, the beadle. Mr. Cooke, a surgeon, in
High-street, \Yapping, had examined the body, and from the
appearance he should say it was born alive, and afterwards
drowned. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder
against some person or persons unknown."
ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE AT DEAL.—On Tues-
day afternoon a distressing accident occurred to one of our
hovelling boats in the Downs. The boat Esperance, with a
crew of four men, left here to visit the shipping on their pas-
sage from London to the Downs, seeking employment, and
after leaving two men on board different vessels to land their
pilots on arrival in the Downs, the others were returning in
their boat to Deal, and when near Sandown Castle, about
half a mile off share, the boat was upset by a sudden squall
of wind, and immediately sunk. The accident was observed

until the arrival of the Hon. William AsVlnevg, F.R.S.,
This Society
is under the patronage of her Majesty-, Prince
the Queen Dowager. Dr. Burnet moved resolutions,eAlrt, and
ex-
pressive of approval of the praiseworthy exertions of the
matron and master of the Brixton Asylum for some years
past, and to which much of the efficiency of the school was
to be attributed, and that an increase in their respective
salaries be made to the amount of 451. per annum, which was
seconded by Mr. Knill. Mr. Lott and others having ex-
pressed their approval, the resolutions were carried. The
thanks of the meeting were voted to the Hon. W. Ashley,
for the interest manifested by him in the welfare of the
Society, and his conduct in the chair, and the proceedings
terminated,

Some disturbances took place on the 30th ult., at
Verdun, in consequence of tha populace being irritated
against the bakers for raising the price of bread. The com-
mandant has since received permission from the Minister of
War to place at the disposition of the bakers part of the
military stores; and the mayor bag published a proclama-
tion declaring that measures have been taken by the muni-
cipal authorities in favour of the indigent classes.
NEATH.—OUTRAGE ON A MEDICAL GENTLEMAN.—
Between the hours of twelve and one o'clock on the night of
Saturday last Mr. Evan Leyson, surgeon, of Neath, was
travelling on horseback on the turnpike-road near Cadoxton,
on his return after having visited a patient, when he was
attacked by five men, who assaulted him moat violently.
After having been severely beaten, Mr. Leyson called out,
entreating them to desist, at the same time observing that
he had but one eye, and if they persisted in their brutality
much longer they might deprive him of the other. On this
the parties appeared to recognise him, for one of them ex-
claimed, " Oh, it is Mr. Leyson." All then instantly de-
camped. Mr. Leyson, who had sustained considerable, but
we are happy to learn not severe injuries, returned to the
Green Dragon public-house, Cadoxton, and in the course of
a short time managed to get home. It is evident the parties
had mistaken Mr. Leyson for some other person, on whom
they had intended wreaking their vengeance. Various
rumours are current in reference to their identity, but as no
certain clue has been obtained, it would not be prudent to
refer more in detail to the reports which are in circulation.—

SELF-ACTING BALL. —We have been informed that
Mr. F. Stone, watchmaker, of Cardiff, has invented a self-
acting ball, that will run on a level, and keep in motion for
an indefinite number of (say 1,000) years, and that the in-
ventor feels confident he could construct one of a ton weight,
on the same principle, to run any distance.-- Bristol Mercury.
A PUBLIC -HOUSE TAKEN BY BEES.--On Friday
an unusually large swarm of bees, either from accident or de-
sign, alighted on the top of a chimney at Mr. Peskin's,
Royal Oak Inn, Brierly-hill, and appeared to make an at-
tempt to settle. However, in a few seconds' the bulk of the
living mass went down the chimney into a bed-room, where
two females were busily engaged at their toilette, who, as
might be supposed, were dreadfully terrified at the formida-
ble appearance of their unbidden guests ; one of them, we
are sorry to say, was much injured from the stings of the
intruders as she attempted to escape. The house was de-
serted in a few seconds, and the landlord in vain offered
various sums of money to any one who could rid the pre •
mises of his unprofitable customers.— Worcestershire Guardian.
lIERTFORD FAlR.—This fair was opened yesterday
for the sale of stock, free of all tolls. Cattle brought in was
limited, and the prices rather on the decline. The business
was chiefly confined to lean cattle and horses. Beasts for
grazing ranged from 101. to 131. a head, and some Scotch
runts sold at 71. and 9/. each. Cows to calve down went as
low as 91. and 111, a head, and heifers 81. and 91. Good milch
cows, large framed, fetched from 12 to 15 guineas, the small
calf inclusive. In the horse-field. good sound cart horses
sold at prices varying from 16 to 18 and 20 guineas each, and
nags of the best description fetched from 16 to 18 guineas.
The pig pens were scantily filled.
