PRINCE ALBERT'S MODEL COTTAGES.
One practical lesson is worth a volume of description, or a
whole library of theories. Prince Albert had his own notion of
the comforts to be secured in the plan of a cottage, and took the
opportunity which was afforded by the World's Exhibition, to re-
duce to practice what was uppermost in his mind, by actually
building specimens in the Park, and it is not too much to say,
that his Royal Highness's Model Cottages are among the mgt
interesting of the many exampless of British industry and Of
design. Talking and writing about novelties in art or science
are very well in their way, but exhibiting the work ready done
brings a thing home to common sense. It was this considera-
tion that induced Messrs E. MOSES and SON. to keep on hand
THOUSANDS of NOVELTIES in DRESS ;. they might have in
the public that they procured the first artist in Europe,
hundreds of the best workmen in the world, and that they would
Make any quantity of clothing in the first style of elegance and
novelty in an incredibly short time ; but it was far better to make
them, and show what they could do, than do talk or write about it ;
let any one 'Walk through their show rooms and see thousands of the
newest fashions in every variety of costume, all marked with prices
so low that none would believe without seeing them, and thousands
of visitors who go there daily confess the fact, hundreds who go de-
termined to be rnea'ured for something to try their clothing, see the
a everything, and buy at once from their enormous
sgutopeekri.oriltny fact there is no difference between the stock always kept
up in every department, and articles made to measure, the only dif-
ference in the prices is, the charge for making a single article where
things are usually given out in hundreds. Itfbould be worth any
person's while to visit the gigantic Mart in Aldgate, or the West-end
Branch in New Oxford-street, to examine the material, the style,
the workmanship, and the beautiful cut of all their clothes ; it would
be seen at once that, for price and quality, there is nothing approach-
ing them, for everything is charged but a trifle over half the price of
all ordinary tailors. The great Mart is considered in attraction as
second to the Crystal Palace, and there are specimens of embroi-
dered dress at the Mart far superior to anything in the World's
Great Show.

Messrs. Taylor and Brigit's Circular states :—During
the past week the corn trade has been very firm, and prices
fully maintained. Arrivals kelp moderate. The weather is
now somewhat warmer, though still cool for the season. At
to-day's market we had only a moderate supply of wheat from
our farmers, who asked very high prices, say 3s to 4s above
last week's rates, which quite checked business; buyers would
have given Is to 2s advance, lut at this very little business
was done. Good fresh foreign gxl off readily at full prices.
All sorts of spring corn are getting very scarce, and fetch full
rates. Not much doing in Hosted. Cakes in moderate de-
mand, but the tendency of prices is upward. In rapeseed we
hear of no transactions, and we lo not alter our quotations
for cakes. Of; bones we have a few fresh arrivals, but the sea.
son is nearly over, and we quote Clem lower.

THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT
AT FALMER.
NEW FEATURE IN THE INQUIRY.
BRIGHTON, TUESDAY.—The jury resumed their labours
this morning in investigating the circumstances attending
the death of. Samuel Jackson. After the examination of
several witnesses,
The boy Boakes was then examined by Mr. Faithfull.—
He gave a preliminary account of the manner in which he
had spent the morning with much clearness. On being asked
whether he was frightened when he saw the accident, he
replied in the affirmative, and burst into tears.
Mr. Faithfull—Did you cry then?—Yes.
Why did you cry ? —Becauso I was frightened.
Why were you frightened?—Because I was afraid that it
would hurt me.
How did you think it would hurt you—had you done any-
thing P—No.
Were you afraid that anybody would say anything to you?
—Yes.
What made you think so ?—I don't know, sir.
But you did think so, and that frightened you?—Yes.
W hat made you think anybody would say anything to
you?—l cannot tell (still crying).
Would you rather not tell me ?—I did not know what they
wont,: say.
Who do you mean by "they"—do you mean the people in
the train ?—Yee, sir.
Why did you think so ?—I thought they would come to
ask me questions.
What questions ?—I thought they would say I had done it.
This reply produced quite a sensation in court, and a
consultation between the Coroner and Mr. Faithfull was
ended by
The CORONER cautioning the boy that he was not bound
to answer any question that would criminate himself.
Mr. Faitht ull repeated the question to the boy, who cried
bitterly and could not answer.
The CORONER ordered him to be taken out into the air for
a short time, and Superintendent Crowhurst took charge of
him, and the proceedings were suspended for some time. By
direction of Mr. Laing, the chairman of the company, Mr.
Somers Clarke, the solicitor, was sent for, and, on his arrival,
Mr. Laing stated to him the position in which the exami-
nation of the boy stood, and said he felt it right to state the
lad should have the benefit of professional assistance in order
to his protection. Accordingly, as Mr. S. Clarke, who had
attended the Lewes inquest knew all the facts, it was thought
he was most competent to attend now professionally for him,
and the costs for the attendance the, company would cheer-
fully discharge.
Mr. S. Clarke then applied for an interview with the boy
and his father, which was immediately ordered by the Co-
roner. After his return into court,
Mr. S. Clarke. addressing the Coroner, said that he had
seen the boy, and he (Mr. S. Clarke) saw no objection to
the proceeding with his examination, if it was thought ne-
cessary to the present inquiry. If any question should be
put to him which ho (Mr. S. Clarke) thought it possible,
from his youth, his want of general knowledge, the answers
might in any way tend to criminate himself, he should feel
it his duty to object to his answering. On behalf of the lad,
he had to tender his thanks to Mr. Lang, the chairman of
the company, for having taken the step he had in sending
for him (Mr. Clarke) to protect the lad in the peculiar and
painful position in which he was placed, and he would only
add, that if he took an objection to any question, it must
not raise the inference of the lad's guilt, which he had no
reason whatever to believe. He stated plainly and boldly
that he hail no such impression on his mind at that
moment. The lad was evidently much agitated, but that
was no prcof of his guilt.
The boy was then again brought in, and examined by Mr.
Faithfull as follows :
Do you remember that you told me just now that you
thought people would say you had done it?—Yes, sir.
What did you think you would say you had done ?—That
I had been playing" See-saw."
What with ? —With the sleeper.
And you thought so directly that you saw the train go
over the archway ?
Mr. S. Clarke objected to the question. It must be borne
in mind that, at the former inquest, the lad had been asked
by the jury whether he had not been on the line playing " See
saw," and therefore the thought of so playing did not origi-
nate in the lad's own mind.
Mr. Faithtull (to the boy)—You say you were frightened
because you thought the people world say you had been
playing " See-saw?"—Yes, sir. Was that the reason why
you cried when you saw the train go over?
Mr. S. Clarke again objected, and desired the boy not to
answer any further questions.
Mr. Faithfull said it was no amusement:to him to fry to
criminate the lad, and he would at once sit down and let the
examination drop.
In answer to ajuror the boy said he had never played with
the sleepers. -
he depositions were then Signed, and the witness was
taken out of the court.

Mrs. Aaokes was then examined. Her evidence was the
same as that already published.
The.inquest was adjourned at seven o'clock, live witnesses
remaining for examination.

TILE ADMIRAL'S Goon•SERVICE PENSION.--The good-ser-
vice pension that fell id hand on the decease of Admiral Sir
Edward Codrington bas been conferred upon Vice-Admiral
Sir Samuel Pym, KC.B., certainly one of the most distin-
guished flag-officers in the navy.
THE CAPTAIN'S GOOD-SERVICE PENSION.—A 'captain's
good-service pension has been bestowed by Sir F. Baling on
Captain Herbert Brace Powell (1822). This officer saw
some sharp service as a lieutenant, and when a commander
served as a volunter in Sir David Milnos' flag-ship at Algiers,
and was entrusted with the superintendence of placing the
explosion vessel, which contained 143 barrels of powder, and
which exploded under the semi-circular battery. As a cap-
tain he has never served—the captain's good-service pen-
sion, therefore, has been granted for lieutenant and comman-
der's services.—Herald.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
Yesterday the weather was as fine as it had been on Mon-
day, and the concourse of visitors to the Crystal Palace was
far greater. More than one excursion train sent their thou-
sands, and some large schools their hundreds. From the
London Orphan Asylum, at Clapton, 250 boys and 150 girls
were brought. Three hucdred mere of the Scots Fusilier
Guards, who are commanded by Prince Albert (at whose
wish the men enjoy this privilege), were marched in—the
same number as on Monday—leaving 600 more to follow.
These were amoung the most interesting arrivals.
The numbers, it will be seen, were much above any ever
before known. In the first two hours forty thousand persons
poured into the building; and the total number during the
day was not far short of seventy thousand.
For the first seven hours the following were the ar-
rivals:—

First hour, 10 to 11 o'clock ..... 19,787
Second hour, 11 to 12

The building was not at any time inconveniently crowded.
The majority of the visitors were of the middle, though there
were a great number of the humbler classes—many evidently
rustic.

THE LATE BALLOON ACCIDENT.

(OFFICIAL INQUIRY.
Yesterday morning Mr. Otway, the active superintendent
of the C division of police, made an official inquiry at the
residence of Col. North, No. 16, Arlington-street, Piccadilly,
for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of damage done
by the unfortunate balloon accident on Monday evening.
Upon going over the mansion Mr. Otway found, in the front
of the house which faces the Green-park, that between four-
teen and fifteen feet of the parapet had been torn away, the
stones from which had been thrown upon the roof, which
they carried in, together with the rafters supporting it, the
whole of which were hurled down the staircase into the hall
below. Two large stacks of chimneys were also thrown
down, the materials of which they were composed falling
on the glass roof of the fore-court, which it damaged to a
very considerable extent; the roof of the house is da-
maged in several places by the falling of bricks from the
chimneys. Col. North estimates that the damage done to
his house alone will amount to upwards of 3001. The da-
mage done to the houses in Park-place, which abuts on
Arlington-street, consists chiefly of broken roofs, occa-
sioned by the chimney-pots and iron cowls falling on them.
Mr. Otway states that it is impossible to estimate the pre-
cise amount of damages done, as there are so many little
fractures to the buildings in addition to the more extensive
injuries.
Colonel North's builder had an interview with Mr. Batty
yesterday respecting the cost of the repairs of the Gallant
Colonel's house, but the result of the negotiations did not
transpire.
Although Mrs. Graham is not allowed to hold conversation
with any one, yet she kindly wrote the following letter, and
placed it in the hands of our reporter :-
4' TO THE EDITOR. OF THE AtonNING POST.

" Sir,—May I beg to forward you as correct an account
as possible respecting the ascent of the balloon from the
Hippodrome, yesterday. It is well known that the wind blew
almost a hurricane at times during the day, so much so, that
whilst the inflation was proceeding, upwards of thirty men,
who were holding on, were constantly blown to various
parts of the circle by he power of the wind on the balloon.
At such times it is totally impossible to ascertain the buoyant
power at the time ofstarting by the usual method of weighing.
When we arose, the wind carried us against a high mast or
pole in the ground, before we had time to cast our ballast,
and a long rent was caused in the upper part of the balloon.
We cast out sand to clear the trees in Kensington Gardens,
and finding ourselves approaching the Crystal Palace, we
gradually discharged the ballast with our hands, so that
no great weight should fall in any one spot. We succeeded
in quite clearing it, and then made for a descent in the
Park, which we effected on the grass, and threw out the long
line of cur safety bag (without anything being attached) to
some men who were running. Two of them caught
this line and held on for a short time, but being dragged
along by the force of the wind they let go, and we directly
rebounded, the wind carrying us on to a house in Arlington-
street, and from thence to one in Park-place, where
the car rested between a stack of chimneys and a V roof,
where we remained until some policemen of the C division,
and some gentlemen's servants came to our assistance, and
aided us with ladders to descend through a trap-door,
when two eminent medical gentlemen of the neighbourhood
promptly attended and rendered us the most kindly aid
professionally at such a trying moment. Allow me to
add, that the grapnel iron we never let from the car, as
can be proved by those who assisted us on the roof, it never
having been untied from the side of the car, as we were
too anxious to prevent any accident occurring to the men
who were running after us. Neither did we touch any part
of the Crystal Palace. With regard to any accidents that
have occurred to myself in my numerous ascents, I have
only confidently to declare that I have met with no more
than the most experienced aeronaut of the day, all being
liable to mischances, particularly upon such a boisterous
day as yesterday. In conclusion, allow me to add that
I had arranged with a young lady of family to ascend
with me yesterday, who arrived in her carriage a little
before six for the purpose, when I declined allowing her to
ascend, solely on account of the state of the weather; and
told her that on such an evening I would not take a
stranger for 1001., or any other sum that might be offered.
A gentleman connected with the Opera-house was with
this lady, and gave me credit for my conscientious decla-
ration.-1 am, yours, obediently,
" M. GIIAIIAM.

LARGE ARRIVAL OF WEST INDIA PINE APPLES.
—Yesterday the Susan came alongside the Custom-house
from Eleuthera, New Providence, with a cargo of 50,000
pine-apples, and a quantity of bananas. This is the first im-
portant arrival of these delicious fruits during the present
season. The pines, from being packed in
qtluieainrtowy growing
on are all in fine condition; there was, also, a quantity
on deck, in boxes filled with their native soil. The present
has been a very favourable reason for the pines, which are
now specially grown for the London market, which will be
regularly supplied for the next two months. from the West
Indies.

AQUATICS.
HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA—Fiasi DAY.
The great meeting at Henley commenced yesterday, and
shone with a brilliancy, liberality, and effect which gave in-
creased lustre to the celebrity which it had acquired in the
aquatic world. No less than a dozen races, besides two
matches not included in the card, all of which were marked
with features of peculiar interest and importance, were con-
tested, and event followed event so rapidly as to leave the
visitors but little leisure, and to render the task of recording
them a busy operation. The committee had been indefati-
gable in their endeavours to promote sport and to ensure the
comfort of all concerned, and their endeavours were carried
out most satisfactorily.
The grand stand, as usual, was filled with the elite of the
neighbourhood, and two lines of splendid equipages were
drawn up on the bridge, from which a view could be com-
manded of nearly the whole of the course; while the mea-
dows on the banks side and towing-path were thronged
with visitors from London and various parts of the country;
the weather was remarkably fine, and the scene was
altogether one of the most animated and picturesque cha-
racter.

The sports commenced at twelve o'clock, and were con-
tinued until nearly eight in the evening.

A third crew had been entered, but, owing to some mis-
apprehension or neglect, were not in attendance to complete
the necessary arrangements, and became disqualified.
The general excitement with respect to this race was most
considerable. The entry list contained, besides the above, a
formidable crew of R. Coombes, the champion of the
Thames, and a fourth composed of the renowned Claspers
(brothers), of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, whose extraordinary
boat and beautiful rowing, seven or eight years ago, at the
Thames Regatta, rendered them objects of considerable
interest. Large sums of money had been speculated upon
this event. At Newcastle the Claspers had been backe4
against the field—if we may be allowed the phrase—an
example followed in many parts of the north, while in LOD-
don the Champion's crew and Mackinney's divided the
attention, but Coombes's had the call.

•
The start was even, and the contest, in the above heat such
as to show that the Wandsworth landsmen had no small claim
to celebrity as oarsmen. Stroke succeocted stroke with hut
little variation in their position unti4 half the distance had
been rowed, when the landsmen began to" shut up," and the
others won by four or live lengths.

An accident of a most mortifying description prevented
that which would, no doubt, otherwise have been a most
determined race, and inflicted the utmost disappointment
upon the spectators. The signal was given, when in the
second stroke taken by the Claspers, the bowman's thawl
gave way, and thus disqualified them from proceeding; and
as by the recognised laws of rowing every boat must stand
by its accidents, they of course lost the race, the Coolubcs
party rowing leisurely over the course.

victory.

Oxford were slightly the tavourites, but both parties seemed
extremely confident, as did their friends, and those unac-
quainted with either expressed their admiration at the fine
appearance of both crews.
The Oxonians were on the Berks shore. A beautiful start
at a few pieces having been effected, the Cantabs pulled the
nose of their boat a trifle in front, and in this position and
oar and oar a most beautiful race was continued up to Re-
menham with undiminished Pace. Oxford here gradually
began to shake their opponents off and continued to im-
prove their position, the Cantabs having broken a thwart,
owing to which the Oxonians acquired a greater lead than
before.

and late hour at which we arrived In London, compel ns tt.

IV ASMYTH'S ABSOLUTE SAFETY YALvE.—MI• Na-
smyth has forwarded to us a representation of the valve
already described by us in the current volume. The diagram
appears to bear out what is there said as to its peculiarity of
construction. It must be effectual in preventing the valve
from getting set fast in its seat, unless, indeed, there be some
extraordinary power of attraction at work, electrical or mag-
netic, which even the violent agitation of the water in ebul-
lition cannot overcome. The valve, however, is spherical,
and one cannot readily conceive even a force of this kind to
be capable of rendering such a form of valve quite fixed and
immoveable. The p.rectse nature of the cause of fixture, in
some cases at least, is by no means clear, and seemsto re.
quire further and closer investigation; and if it should tur
out that electrical or magnetic action has something to do
with so dangerous an accident, it will be very easy
the proper remedy so as to render such a valve as 11) ir
a-
smyth's, even in this assumed respect, quite certain in its
action. That, electricity may have more to
