POLYTECHNIC REVIEW.

work is a great acquisition to the lover of
science ; it describes all the wonders of nature and
art, records the discoveries of the ancients, and chro-
nicles the inventions of modern times ; its subjects
are " universal as its theme," confined to no country
limited to no period; it touches on every scientific
subject, from the glass-manufacturing of ancient
Egypt down to Lord Rosse's telescope. In the
present number there is au interesting account of at-
mospheric railways, by Dr. Hewlett, in which he
observes :

" A diminution of expenditure is one of the most ob-
vious advantages of the atmospheric system. In the ori •
ginal outlay there is not a necessity for that extensive le-
velling as is now required ; engines of very great power
will not be needed ; the wear and tear of materials will
be diminished ; and, by consequence, the rates of chases
for travelling will 1:)..! lessened, and cheap travelling mill
be secured with a certainty of increased safety and com-
fort. This advantage of safety is one of paramort7,3;
portance. The atmospheric system preclude:s
terrible calamities of bursting boilers and trains,
ra!ns,
with vhich • the public bas become

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of May 6.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers, submitting to reduced rates
for some descriptions, tempted buyers to come forward with
metre freedom, and a good business was transacted. At public
sale 145 hhds 5 tierces of I3arbadoes, and 511 hhds 2 tierces
and 2 barrels of new Trinidad were offered, the former went
off without spirit, at a decline on previous rates of 6d to Is
per cwt ; the latter generally brought the former currency,
and all soil In the private market the rates accepted were
in some cases rather under those of Friday.
REFINgt).— To-day there was little business transacted by
the Home Trade, and prices are still drooping, brown lumps
elling at 66s to 675, and standard lumps 68s per cwt. Bonded
Craibial Sugar is wanted, and the price is firm at 37s per
cwt for the best sort.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale, and
the few parcels disposed
.of privately, barely fetched former

GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and
7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by H. J. and D.
NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their
new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer
overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of
the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and
universally admitted common appearance.
The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest
Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trop
but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can-
not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking ; it will also,
from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock
Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or
abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi-
tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over-
coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not
submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of
its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking,
or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which,
gqined by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some
standing. This they can do with safety ; as their new introduction,
they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of
an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a
wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas
is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an
agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount
can be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many
are kept ready in the extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street.

pheric system, the impelling power is at the centre of
gravity, and must, from its action, keep the train on the
rails. A collision of trains, from which such disastrous
results have arisen, cannot possibly take place on the at-
mospheric principle. Then, not to enter into any meta-
physical discussion of the question, how much the very
consciousness of safety promotes our comfort—it may
suffice to say, that the atmospheric system offers a full
enjoyment of the pure atmosphere of heaven as you
quietly glide on by an invisible power, and entire free-
dom from the clanking of cumbrous machinery, flying
sparks, hot cinders, and strong sulphuretted hydrogen.
Another advantage is, increased speed—the average rate
of travelling by the atmospheric power being fifty miles
an hour, while the highest velocity of travelling on the
fastest line, by steam, is thirty miles an hour ; and, in a
country where time is appreciated as property of great
value, this must be considered of paramount importance
did it exist alone ; but when speed can be secured at less
expense, and with increased safety and comfort, no
doubt can exist to which system the most decided prefer-
ence is to be given."

In the " Game of Chess by the Electric Telegraph,"
there are some amusing speculations as to the singular
effects that may be produced by the electric current;
for example, when her Majesty visits the House
of Lords, the salutes might be repeated at every sta-
tion in England ; instead of blowing up a ship at the
distance of six miles, by one of Captain Warner's
projectiles, we should be enabled to do so at the dis-
tance of a thousand. Humanity should compel every
butcher to kill animals by electric galvanism, which
would spare them all pain and suffering. There is
an explanation of the signs of the Zodiac, showing how
the figures are appropriated to the seasons they repre-
sent ; a chapter of Agricultural Chemistry ; Antista-
tic Printing, and various other subjects of interest or
instruction.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE.

C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
It does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard :

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than his metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.

Witness believed this sum would be sufficient to cover all expenses,
including incidental. It was the highest rate of charges upon any
line that he was aware of. With regard to the station at King's_
cross, the passenger station there would occupy ten acres of
ground, and the depot for coals, goods, &c., about forty.nine
acres; the stations would be placed at opposite sides of the Re-
gent's Canal; that static*, would cost about 50,0001. or 60,000/. ;
he had allowed 150,0001. for it, including the Lind, plant, &c.
The York station would be entered at the south side of the old
wall of the city, by the gaol, and the Trinity-gardens; it would be
small as compared with the London station, and would cost about
50,0001.; it would cross the York and North Midland ticket
stage. Supposing that the land was obtained, and all the usual
difficulties removed, and in fact that those employed to make the
road had their own way—(Laughter)—he should say that the
whole line would be complete in three years.
In answer to some questions in cross-examination from Mr.
TALBOT, the witness said his estimate did not include the Parlia-
mentary expenses.—(Laughter.) The expenses for locomotive plan,
such as carriages, plant, &c., he supposed would be about 3,0001.
per mile, or about one million more in addition to the six millions
and a half. This was a very expensive line certainly ; the cost per
mile for the first 20 miles from London would be about 38,0001.
per mile, or 36,000/. per mile for the first 30 miles. Had often
heard of contractors being obliged to exceed their contracts. Had
heard of an estimate of 1,400,0001. for a South-Western line, and
it cost 2,306,0001.
The Committee adjourned at half-past four o'clock.

GROUP F.

The Committee met again this day at twelve o'clock, the Right
Hon. F. Shaw in the chair.

The Committee resumed the inquiry into
THE LONDOIST, WORCESTER, AND SOUTH

STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY.

Mr. Cocain:RN said he had a great deal of engineering evidence
to adduce, but in consequence of what fell from the Committee
yesterday he would not call those witnesses. He would now call
an engineer of the very highest eminence, whose evidence was
most material to the case. He would call Mr. James Walker.

The CHAIRMAN—Before the praceedings commence, I think it
right to mention that people are in the habit of writing me letters
upon the subject under consideration ; and I am of opinion that it
is right the parties on both sides should see them, if they think
proper, for I shall not read them.

Mr. COCILBURN—I hope, Sir, that they do not emanate from the
Great Western parties ; indeed, I think not.
The CHAIRMAN—I do not say that. All I say is, that they are
on the subject of this inquiry.
Mr. COCKBURN-1 can assure you, Sir, that they are in the
habit of addressing me upon the same matter, as counsel in the
case.

The CH A IRMAN—That is all very proper.—(A laugh.) Here are
two letters which I shall place on the table, and I cannot but ob-
serve that it is highly reprehensible for parties to send such corn.
munications. They can have no weight with the Committee.
Mr. Walker, examined by Mr. COCKBURN—I am not connected
with either of the schemes before the Committee. I received a
communication from Mr. Brunel, containin., some questions to
which my attention was directed, and a copy of that communication
has been forwarded to the London and Birmingham parties. I
have examined the plans pointing out the railways with both
gauges, and they show the two systems very plainly indeed,
with respect to the accommodation to South Staffordshire.
The distance from Wolverhampton to Oxford is, according to
the plans, fifteen miles shorter by the Great Western line than by
the other, and assuming that from Wolverhampton to Abbot's
Wood there will be a narrow gauge as well as a broad gauge rail,
and taking into consideration the saving of fifteen Miles by the
broad gauge line, I think the Great Western line is entitled to the
preference for the South Stafford district. When 1 say that, lam
assuming the engineering difficulties to be the same. Indeed, 1
more than think so—l am sure it is the best line of the two.
There is no danger in laying down the broad gauge with the
narrow. About six or eight years since I proposed the laying down
of tile Uroad gauge on the narrow gawp...lin,.
Use CliAlgli•N—Wnere was that ? itness—l proposed to have
it laid down at Stratford, where the Northern and Eastern joined
the Northern Counties Railway.

Mr. Cubitt was the first ehginter Called. Examined by Mr.
Sergeant KINGLAKE—I am an engineer, and have surveyed the
London and York line, and have gone over the principal part of
the county for that purpose. I have prepared plant and had them
depicted, showing the line; the whole length is 348 miles, and 48
chains, including the various branches ; the length of the direct
line was 185 miles, 78 chains; the length of the loup from Peter-

had been adopted. The line left the main line at Torrington, and
joined it at Stamford ; the line for Sheffield went by Bautery; for
Wakefield it passed tbrough Doncaster; there were 14 tunnels on
