On investigation, nothing can be more unsatisfactory
than the state of Belgian traffic ; so far from the fares
being to the greater part of the community, cheaper than
the English tares, they are dearer, while the accommo-
dation is much less. In fact, so far from the Belgian
system trenching upon the profits of English companies,
it would give them larger profits, provided they were
allowed to do as the Belgian Government has done, pick
out the best parts of the country.
If Mr. Morrison or Cato, or Dr. Lardner wishes to
have Belgian fares on the Great Western or London and
Birmingham lines, he can do so, but we fear the English
public will never consent to any such scheme, as it must
, be accompanied with Belgian accommodation.
We cannot, however, have Belgian fares and English
speed. We cannot charge Belgian fares and travel on
the Great Western. So far from its being the case that
the English first class fares are really higher than the
Belgian first class, it will be found, on adding to the
latter 37 per cent. (being the difference of working and
taxation) that all the English fares are below the Bel-
gian rates, except in districts of small traffic ; while if
the charge on the day tickets is taken, they are much
below the Belgian rates. The Belgian fare is, in fact,
equivalent to an English fare of 2d. per mile.
We have given the figures above, so that every one
may judge for himself ; and we think we have shown
sufficient to exculpate English companies from the accu-
sation of making exorbitant profits or charging exces-
sive fares.

THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC LINE.
The United States Senate Committee has reported on
the practicability of this great project, from the Pacific
Coast to the borders of the Great Lakes. Discussing it
under twelve different heads, the Committee say :
" The proposition is a startling one, and of vast import-
ance to our country, and to the world: a deliberate con-
sideration of which naturally resolves itself into several
points, seeming in the opinion of the Committee, to clarn
attention in the following order:-1. The power of Con-
gress over the entire subject in all its bearings. 2. The
practicability of the proposed work. 3. The adequacy
of the means proposed for its accomplishment, and the
expediency of applying such means to its object. 4.
The effect of its construction in bringing into demand
the public lands in any part of the country. 5. Its effects
in extending and promoting the interests of agriculture.
6. Its effect in the support and as a !means of enlarging
and diversifying the manufactures of the country. 7.
Its effect in the development of the mineral resources of
the country. 8. Its effect as one of the great arteries of
intercourse in extending the internal trade and commerce
of the whole country. 9. Its effect in extending our
commerce :with China and other countries of Asia, the
eastern archipelago, and other islands of the Pacific, and
with the counties on the western coast of North and
South America. 10. Its consequences in fostering the
whale and other fisheries in the Pacific, the bays and
rivers thereof ; in extending and protecting the mercan-
tile marine in those seas; and thus forming the most ex-
tensive nursery of seamen, and strengthening the mari-
time power of the United states. 11. Its use as a great
highway of nations, serving for purposes of travel and
transportation at rates of charge and transient duties, to
be regulated by ourselves, being in all respects subject to
our power and control, encouraging constant intercourse,
and imparting to the citizens of other countries the libe-
ral principles of our own Government. 12. And lastly,
the effect that would be produced in a moral, political,
and military point of view to the American Union by the
construction of a railroad across the continent to the
shores of the Pacific."
All these points are argued in favour of the project,
and of the feasibility, practicability, and vast importance
of the work to America as a nation, and to the whole
world. The report exhibits the statistics of the entire
commerce, and the tonnage employed therein with Asia,
China, &c., which would pass over the road, an aggre-
gate of imports and exports now annually of nearly
250,000,000 dolls., employing 2,197 ships of 898,583 tons,
and 50,000 men. The Committee estimate that the rail-
road would save the use of one-half the above tonnage,
a saving in capital of 30,493,613 dolls., and a yearly
saving of interest and expenses of 18,766,736, which
would force this vast commerce over the proposed road.
It also appears that with this road, and with steamers
from England hither, and from Oregon to China, the
voyage from England to Chang-hae, in China, the mouth
of the river Yang- tse-keang, which crosses the great
canal to Pekin, where all the commerce of that vast em-
pire [of 500,000,000 of souls] centres, can be performed
in 31 days, and thus it appears that this great work
would, at the rate of 30 miles per hour for railroad,
bring our vast country together at the centre in
two days and the entire world in a little
more than 25 days. The calculations are founded on
fact, without experiment or speculation, and on the
known performances of railroads and steamers. The
report shows an intimate knowledge of the position of
China, of Japan, and all Asia, its proximity to America,
its geographical and commercial position, advantages,
and resources, all sloping to America, and all the great
rivers, particularly of China, emptying into the ocean
directly opposite Oregon, and but little more distant
than London from New York. The most tranquil ocean,
with fair winds either way across.
The report says:—" The Committee are of opinion
that, no matter in what aspect this great subject is
viewed, it commends itself to favour. Its influence upon
Oregon itself, upon the commerce of the Pacific, our
i trade with China, India, and the distant and rich islands
of the sea, and upon our export trade—the product of
that vast calcareous, basin of the Mississipi of 1,200,000
square miles, to be carried on this road to and through
that ocean, from which we are now cut off by an expanse
of sea, by the capes equal to half the circumference of
the globe—cannot be estimated. The Committee believe
that the present is an auspicious moment at which to
commence this work ; and upon the announcement of
the fact, that the project has received the favourable no-
tice of Congress, the energies of our people will be roused
to new life. It is not a party measure, but one on which
the politician of every hue and creed can cordially unite;
one which will strengthen the bonds of our union, allay
sectional jealousies, and arouse a proud national feeling.
We have within ourselves all the materials and all the
means necessary for its accomplishment, and it rests with
Congress to say whether or not these materials and
these means shmll be employed ; whether the enterprise
is one of sufficient importance to justify setting apart
one-tenth of the public lands now valueless, to its accom-
plishment. The Committee will not anticipate, but can-
not doubt the decision. When it is considered the
United States claims to own more than 1,000,000,000
acres of unsettled lands, the amount proposed to be ap-
priated, for the road is not one-tenth of the whole quan-
tity ; the nine-tenths to be enhanced in value by the
road to an amount certainly equal to the value of the
quantity proposed to be appropriated. In fact, the great
residuum will derive nearly all its value !from the road,
for, situated as they are, without the road they will not
sell for a century to come, if ever. The question of the
policy of making it is far different from what it would
be if the lands through which it passed were individual
property. They are the property of the nation, and if
their value be enhanced hr any artificial channels of
trade, the advantages accrues to the nation—to the Go-
vernment first, and then to every citizen. Its effects,
however, upon the property of individuals, and on the
western States particularly, will be vastly beneficial.
The lands within them would be enhanced at least
25 cents. an acre, which, applied to the whole mass of
acres within them, would amount to more millions than
the road will cost. Besides this, it will give to these
States the same advantages, by means of the trans-
Pacific trade, which will flow this channel, that
the trans-Atlantic trade gives to the Eastern
portion of our union. It is this which makes the poor
lands of the Atlantic slope sell for fifty dollars or more
per acre, inferior as they are in every respect to those of
the western states. The means proposed to be devoted
' to it are vast it is true, but the Committee think not in
disproportion to the grand and magnificent object to be
accomplished by their proper application. In view, then,
of all the premises arid of all the anticipated results to
flow from the undertaking, if accomplished, the Commit-
tee cannot refrain from recommending it to the attentive
consideration of the national Legislature, and of the
country at large. By the aid of a small portion of the
public lands the Committee believe the United States can
possess a channel of speedy and safe communication,
through which will pour in a continued, rich, and fertilis-
ing stream, a large portion of the commerce of the orien-
tal world."—Thus it will be seen that this vast and mag-
nificent project, laughed at by many as visionary mad-
ness, has received the sanction of a Committee of the
United States.

Ilere is a very varied class of accommodation, and
with fares varying according to the traffic of the several
districts. Those districts which have the largest traffic
have generally the lowest fares, and those which have
the smallest traffic have the highest fares. There can be
no uniformity of fares between a populous level district
and a thinly peopled mountain country, while in the
latter the cost of construction will also be higher. The
truth is, a great deal of the Belgian traffic, under the
present system, is paying 12i per cent. profit, and the
passenger between Antwerp and Brussels, for instance,
is made to pay for the passenger between Louvain and
Verviers.
The English passenger is made to pay rates and taxes
amounting to about 8 or 9 per cent., from which the Bel-
gian passenger is free. To make a comparison between
an English and Belgian fare this allowance must be taken
into the account. The comparison is, however, corn-
, pletely futile, because the English trains travel at a
higher rate of speed, and run more frequently, and the
increase of expense on this account is enormous.
In the calculation of English fares the extreme fares
are shown, whereas the actual fares paid by the majority
of passengers are on day-tickets, so that the fare paid
by the majority of passengers is much below the rates
given above.
The English traffic differs in every respect from that
of Belgium,. because it is to a great extent a through
ti e, while in the latter country there has, until lately,
been no through traffic. It is, however, recognised by
the Minister of Public Works, that the tendency in the
tgh traffic is to increase the first and second class,
aTlrrnot the third class. As the railway system deve-
lopes itself; this is the natural result that first and second
class accommodation should extend as the value of time
is better appreciated. While we have the Belgian pro-
portions of passengers quoted to us as a model, the Bel-
gian proportions every year alter in the way we have
mentioned.

THE SUN, LONDON, THUMDAy EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, i 846.

plo-ive cotton by immersing it in very pure and strongly
concentrated acid for half a minute, and then washing
it thoroughly and drying it. This is a very simple
process ; but we can as:,ert from experiment that it
does not produce a cotton which could be used as a
perfect substitute for gunpowder. Explosive it certainly
is, but by no means to the extent described in the
account of the experiments with the Schonbein
cotton. Dr. Knopp, of Leipsic, states that he pro-
duces a very powerful article by the following pro-
cess :—Take equal parts of English sulphuric acid of
commerce and strong nitric acid of commerce ; mix
them in a porcelain vessel, and then plunge into the
mixture as much cotton as the liquid will cover. Hav-
ing done this, cover the vessel with a ground glass lid,
so as to prevent all evaporation, or the entrance of air.
After having left this preparation in a state of repose
for a few minutes, take out the cotton, and wash it
thoroughly, carefully separating the cotton, and using
sufficient water to remove the whole of the acid. The
cotton being then pressed and dried in warm air will be
very energetic. If this cotton be carefully prepared,
and thoroughly washed and dried, it will have nearly
the same appearance as it had before the operation.
With 12 grains of this preparation, says Dr. Knopp, a
musket, which would for an ordinary charge require 28
grains of gunpowder, sent a ball through two planks,
one of deal, the other of oak, and each two inches in
thickness. The distance from the mark at which the
gun was fired is not stated, but we presume it was
at the ordinary ball range. Dr. Bley, of Bern-
burg, announces that ho has made experiments with
a view of replacing cotton by cheaper substances.
He prepared shavings and sawdust in the same
manner, and found them equally powerful.
After these communications had been read to the Aca-
demy, M. Pelouze,, one of the members, made the follow-
ing observations. He said—" Although M. Schonbein
has not published the nature or mode of preparation of
his cotton, it is evident that the properties which he as-
signs to it can only apply to xyloidine. M. Dumas, as
well as myself, made this remark in the origin of the
first communications of M. Schonbein. Reasoning on
the hypothesis that the poudre coton is nothing else than
xyloidine, I may be permitted to say a few words with
respect to its history, and of some of its properties.
Xyloidine was discovered in 1833 by M. Braconnot, of
Nancy. He prepared it by dissolving starch and some
other organic substances in nitric acid, and precipitating
these solutions in water. In a note inserted in the
" Comptes Rendus de I'Acad6mie des Sciences in 1838," I
showed that the xyloidine resulted from the union of the
elements of the nitric acid with those of the starch, and ex-
plained by this composition the excessive combustibility of
the substance produced. I ascertained—and this I think is
a very important result in the history of the applications
of xyloidine—that instead of preparing it by dissolving
the cellulose, it might be obtained with infinitely greater
facilitysimply impregnating with con-
centratedcotton and hemp, and that
and
nitric economy naocmi
acid,
paper,
e r
these organic matters thus treated took fire at 180 de-
grees, and burned almost without residuum, and with
excessive energy ; but I think it right to add, that I
never for an instant had an idea of their use as a substi-
tute for gunpowder. The merit of this application be-
longs entirely to M. Schonbein. Eight years ago, how-
ever, I prepared an inflammable paper, by plunging it
into concentrated nitric acid. After leaving it for twenty
minutes, I washed it in a large quantity of water, and
dried it in a gentle heat. I have recently tried this
paper in a pistol, and with about three grains pierced a
plank two centimetres in thickness (about three-fourths
of an inch) at a distance of twenty-five metres."
After these observations, made liky M. Pelouze, MM.
Piobert and Morin addressed the Academy. They stated
that several experiments had been made by engineers of
the artillery with explosive cotton, and that the result
was not satisfactory. It was found to leave behind a re-
siduum of charcoal and water, and that it frequently
escaped by the touchole from the cannon, without dis-
placing the ball. They added that cotton prepared with
an equal mixture of sulphuric and nitric acid was the
most powerful, as it exploded at a temperature of seventy-
five degrees. Some, even, exploded spontaneously at one
hundred. The conclusion appears to have been, how-
, ever, that none of the preparations tried appear to be
fit substitutes for gunpowder. We do not place implicit
faith in this opinion. Sir Humphrey Davy, the greatest
chemist of the day, said it was wild to suppose that coal
gas could be used for general lighting,.and another great
man whom we will not name, for he is still living, said,
in his younger days, that a man must be mad to suppose
that steam could be used in Transatlantic navigation.
Other communications and observations were made on
the same subject, but they did not appear to us to possess
striking interest.
Dr. Dheran submitted to the Academy a new ear-
trumpet, of a peculiar construction, which appeared to
excite much interest. It was stated that by this instru-
ment words uttered in a low tone may be heard at a
longer distance by two-thirds than by any other ear-
trumpets.
A communication was received from M. Jobard, re-
commending the use of a bandage over the base of the
thorax, so as to prevent the movement of the mass of
intestines upon the upper part of the abdomen. The idea
is not very new, and we much doubt its efficacy.
The communications to the Academy on other sub
jects in this sitting were not of importance.

from the chief of the besieging army that he shall disarm
all foreigners, not only Argentines, but others, who
serve in his ranks. This is called for by the second
basis, which provides for the disarming of all foreigners
in arms, not only in Monte Video, but in every other
part of the republic. In this number are comprehended
especially the Spanish subjects, whom General Oribe re-
tains in his service, notwithstanding the remonstrances
of the Chargé d'Affaires of his Most Catholic Majesty,
after this Government had dismissed all those who were
in its service. This measure of justice would certainly
have been indicated in a special mar ner, by the impar-
tiality of the mediating powers, if they had been ex-
actly informed of the composition of the belligerent
armies."
Fourth. The raising of the blockade of Buenos Ayres,
and the restoration of the Island of Martin Garcia are at
once agreed to.
Fifth. The restoration of the control of the Parana to
Rosas. Also agreed to.
Sixth. The recognition of the" belligerent rights of
Ros£l9.—Assented to.
Seventh. A new President to be elected according to
the terms of the constitution.—Agreed to willingly and
gratefully by Monte Video.
Eighth. A general amnesty and security for the rights
of strangers.—Fully agreed to.
Ninth. The intervention to cease, if Monte Video re-
fuses to these terms. Monte Video accepts them, and
only asks for a faithful execution of the other con-
ditions.
According to the last advices from Monte Video, the
negotiations had been broken off at Buenos Ayres, but
the Monte Videan Government was in no way answer-
, able for that result.

have the sanction of her father for my attentions, al-
though I admit other branches of the family are not so
favourably disposed towards me.
Mr. HARDWICK—Do you mean to say you are pay-
ing your addresses to the defendant's sister? Complain-
ant—Yes, with the sanction of her father. The objec-
tion to my attentions has nothing, personal to myself in
it. Some part of the family are opposed to my suit
because they are of opinion my circumstances are not
sufficiently flourishing to render my proposals ad-

vantageous.
Defendant—l deny that the complainant has the
sanction of any part of my. family for his clandestine
correspondence with my sister. My father is here to
prove he never sanctioned his addresses. So far from
that being the case, my father told me, as the defendant
continued to persevere in his pretensions to my sister, to
take any steps I thought most likely to rid the family of
_ .

his annoyance.
Mr. HA.upwicK—Tou may entertain objections to the
complainant's acquaintance with your sister, and your
family may join with you in your opinion, but you must
not attempt to put your views in force by violence to-
wards the complainant whenever you happen to meet
him in the public street. You must find bail—two
sureties in 25h each, and yourself in 50/.
Defendant—Will not my solemn promise to abstain
from violence satisfy the Court ?
Mr. HARDWICK—It will not satisfy the complainant,
and therefore you must find bail.
THAMES.
John Middleton, a combmaker by trade, and who
resides at No. 22, Philip-street, St. George's-in-the-East,
was charged with assaulting his wife, Mary Middleton,
in the following brutal and unmanly manner:—
The complainant, who appeared in an extremely deli-
cate state of health, and whose head, neck, face, and
jaws were all over discoloured, with marks, as if from
recent violence, stated, that on the night of Tuesday, the
3d instant, she returned home with her husband after
having been out for a night's amusement. She knocked
at the door a little more loudly than usual, upon which
he said, " What is that for?" and instantly struck her
to the ground. When she got up they went into their
own apartment, and her husband having locked the
door, renewed the attack upon her. He first dealt her
a heavy blow on the face, which stretched her on the
floor almost senseless, and whilst down he seized her by
the hair and dashed her head against the ground several
times. Not satisfied with this, he fell to kicking her on
the head, face, and arms, while she screamed out
" murder" as loudly as she could. She perceived that
she had four wounds upon the head, from which the
blood flowed profusely. The police hearing her cries
came to her assistance, when a surgeon was sent for, and
after that she remembered nothing more until she found
herself in her bed.
Police-constable Thorogood, IC 340, healing cries of
distress, went to the prisoner's house, and, having
knocked, Middleton came to the door. When ques-
tioned as to the doleful cries, he said, some words had
occurred between him andhis wife, whereupon she struck
him several times ; that he then knocked her down, and
he further admitted that he had kicked and beaten her
with the poker. On entering the place, accompanied by
a brother constable, he found complainant lying sense-
less in the middle of the floor, in the midst of a pool of
blood, and thereupon instantly sent for a surgeon, who
was in prompt attendance, and dressed her wounds.
Police-constable Rowbury, K 347, deposed to the same
effect, and added that whilst he (witness) was outside
the door he heard the prisoner say "You —, I'll show
you Lancashire."' A student of the London Hospital,
named Lilly, saw the prosecutrix about three o'clock in
the morning of the 4th inst. On examining her he found
three severe wounds on her head, and a fourth on her
forehead. She seemed to have been severely injured,
and terribly bruised and beaten about the head, arms,
and neck. She was for a considerable time in a dangerous
state, and had been confined to her bed up to Sunday
last. The injuries which presented themselves might
have been caused by kicks from a heavy shoe, or from
some blunt instrument.
In answer to the Magistrate, as to whether any instru-
ment had been used by the prisoner, the prosecutrix said
that she believed such was the case, but could not say
what the instrument was.
The prisoner, in his defence, endeavoured to throw the
whole blame upon his wife, who he said was a woman of
very violent temper, and that being in liquor at the
time she struck him several blows. This conduct irri-
tated him, and he certainly struck her in return, but he
strenuously denied having admitted to the constable that
he had kicked her or used a poker.
He was committed to Newgate to take his trial for felo-
niously wounding.
