Assuming the English profits to be as stated by Dr.
Lardner, and the rate of speed the same as the Belgian,
and the lines exempt from taxation, the English fares
would be to the Belgian as 113 to 100, or thus:—
English. Belgian.
Ist class
2d class
3d class
The difference between the English charges and the
Belgian is, therefore, caused chiefly by the greater ac •
commodatlon and heavier taxation; and the true average
of charge is not, as stated by the Edinburgh Review, and
the Morrisonians, but as follows:

Error on
English. Belgian. English.
Ist class
2d class
3d class
Instead of the difference between the English and Bel-
gian second class fares being, as stated by Dr. Lardner,
1.06 d., it is not more than o'4, sl that the doctor, on
that head, is 66-100ths of a penny wrong; and it is upon
figures such as these that railway companies and railway
directors are run down.
The comparison of the proportion of the several classes
of fares is also more favourable to English lines than is
supposed, allowance being made for the influence of
through traffic.

England. Belgium.
First class ...... 16.50
Second class 43'5U
Third class._ 40.00
The reason why English Enes, notwithstanding their
heavy cost of construction as compared with the Belgian
Ithe, pay as well, is not on account t 4 the higher rate of
profit, but on account of there being three times as much
traffic on a mile of English railway, as on a mile of Bel-
gian railway.
In comparing English lines and Belgian lines it must
be remembered that a great deal of the cheap and slow
traffic in England is carried by steamers, so that if this
$ taken' into account, the extent of real third-class
travelling in England is much larger than in Belgium.
The greatest awhereof third-class traffic in England is.
Con those lines there is no other accommodation
by steam-boat or slow conveyance.
What iS most remarkable in England is the vast ex-
tent of second-class travelling, showing the commodation afforded to the commercial
commgreat ac-
unity and
the vast means possessed by that important cla;s to
whom time is of such peculiar value.

• The Agures for 1843-4 are taken fromof
the
Minister of Public Works, the last published. The figures
for 1845 have been obtained from Mr. Brackatone Baker,
110Cretary of the Dendre Valley Railway.

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 fares, 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 Governmea_ 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 digtricts 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 ;'act,
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 SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1846.

ple:;.ve cotton by immersing it in very pure and strongly
corcentrated 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 he 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 U. 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 del Acad‘mie 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
facility and economy by simply impregnating with con-
centrated nitric acid, paper, cotton, and hemp, and that
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 by 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. .bheran 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 comp-ehended
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 marner, 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
Rosas.—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.

THE RIVER PLATE.

NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE.
(From the Liverpool Times.)
We have been favoured with a copy of a pamphlet con-
taining the official documents presented by the Govern-
ment of Monte Video to the Assembly of Notables, on
Sept. 3d, explaining the progress and results of the ne-
gotiations arising out of Mr. Hood's mission. It wil be
seen from the following summary of these documents,
that the Government of Monte Video has at once agreed
to the whole of the conditions proposed by Mr. Hood, in
the name of England and France, and therefore that it
is not answerable for any delay which may have arisen
in tho settlement of these long-continued differences.
The Buenos Ayrean Government had also accepted them
en mayor parte—in their principal parts—whatever that
may mean.
The first document is a message from the Monte Vi-
dean Government to the Assembly, dated Monte Video,
Sept. 3, 1846, and signed by Jonquin Suarez, Jose de
Bejar, Jose A. Costa, and Francisco Magarinos. It
states that the other documents are laid before the As-
sembly earlier than such documents usually are, because
the Government feels that " it is indispensable to calm
the anxiety of all, augmented (as it is) by the abuse
which has been made, out of the walls of Monte Video,
of this negotiation, to, convert a message of peace into
an instrument of war."
The second document is a letter of inquiry, dated
Monte Video, July 5, 1846, and addressed to Mr.
Ouseley, the British Minister, by Senor Francisco Ma-
garinos, in the
information
of the Monte Videan Govern-
ment, begging as to the object of Mr.
Hood's mission.
The third is a note of Mr. Ouseley's, dated July the
6th, in answer to the above, in which be states that,
owing to the non-arrival of the packet from England, he
has no information of the object of Mr. Hood's mission.
The fifth is a letter addressed to Mr. Ouseh y, in the
name of the Monte Videan Government, on the 7th of
July, in which, after alluding to the rumours arising out
of the mission of Mr. Hood: and to the position of
public affairs in the republic, it is stated that the Go-
vernment is willing to assist in bringing about a pacifi-
cation, only requiring, as a sine qua non, that " the per-
fect and absolute independence of the republic" shall be
maintained.
The sixth is a note of Senor Magarinos to Baron
Deffaudis, the French Minister, dated July 7, communi-
cating the preceding correspondence with Mr. Ouseley;
and the seventh is a note from the Baron, dated the 11th
and simply acknowledging the receipt of the preceding.
The eighth is a further letter of inquiry as to the
object of Mr. Hood's mission, addressed to Mr. Ouseley
and Baron Deffaudis, by Senor Magarinos, in the name
of the Monte Videan Government, on the 11th of July;
and the ninth a note from these Ministers, of the 13th,
in which they state that they are unable to give the in-
formation asked for.
The tenth is a letter of Mr. Ouseley's of the Ist August,
to Senor Magarinos, informing him pat Mr. Hood (who'
had arrived from Buenos Ayres) was desirous to pro-
ceed with a flag of truce to the camp of General Oribe;
and the eleventh a note, signed by Senor Magarinos,
giving him permission to do so, provided the:French Mi:
F luster and Admiral have no objection to his doing so.
The twelfth was an application from Mr. Ouseley,
dated llth August, for permission for Mr. Hood to re:
turn from Oribe's camp to Monte Video; and the thir-
teenth, a permission to do so.
The fourteenth is a note addressed to the Monte Vi-
dian Government, by Baron Deffaudis and Mr. Ouseley,
on the 18th of August, inviting it to agree to a pacifica-
tion, on the bases proposed by Mr. Hood. " These
bases," it states. " have been accepted in their principal
points—ex su mayor parte —by the Government of Buenos
Ayres and by General Oribe."
The fifteenth is a reply of the Monte Videan Govern-
ment, dated the 27th of August, and signed by Senor
Magarinos, in which it is stated that the Government of
the republic had already accepted, " without hesitation,
on the 14th of July, 1845, the original basis of pacifi-
cation adopted by the two powers, and thatit
.equally
accepts the modifications which have been made in these
bases, and the new propositions which have been pre-
sented by the Plenipotentiaries.
The propositions are then given separately, with the
assent of the Monte Videan Government.
The first proposes an immediate suspension of hostili-
ties; this the Monte Videan Government accepts with
satisfaction, and proposes to extend to the whole of the
territory of the republic.
The second and third are as follows:—
Second. An armistice being established, the English
and French Plenipotentiaries demand of the Government
the disarming of the foreign legion, and all other armed
foreigners, who form the garrison of the city of Monte
Video, or who are in arms in any other part of the re-
public.
Third. At the same time that this disarmament is
effected, General Rosas shall cause to be evacuated the
whole of the territory of the Oriental Republic, by the
officers and soldiers of the Argentine army.
To the above proposition the Monte Videan Govern-
ment agrees to the following terms:—
" The instruction of the mediating Governments to
their Plenipotentiaries, and the repeated notes of those
Plenipotentiaries, have regarded the evacuation of the
Monte Videan territory by the Argentine troops as an
essential preliminary, to precede all negotiations for the
re-establishing of peace. With this understanding the
(Monte Videan) Government had accepted the mediation
from the time when it was offered. Now the evacuation
of the territory forms only one of the bases of the nego-
tiation. The disarming of all foreigners is required,
is to take place immediately, and at the same tine
as the evacuation. Still the Government of Monte Video
accepts the second and third propositions, as it has c-
cepi,ed the firts. It trusts only that the Plenipotentiaries,
in carrying out the ptinoiples of reciprocity, will require

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.
_

Derendant—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. IlAnnwicK—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 251. each, and yourself in 501.
Defendant—Will not my solemn promise to abstain
from violence satisfy the Court ?

Mr. HAnnwlcK—:lt will not sa,tisfy the complainan
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 Hp 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, K 340, hearing 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 and his 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 be (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.
