S..OUT H-WESTERN itAILWAY.
TO THE EDITIIR OF THE SUN.
SIR,— in reference to a letter in our paper of this evening,
signed ksiilway Traveller," complaining of the frequent want
of ptinctual,'ty in the arrival of trains on the above railway,
Iheg tc. star" that I left South,,mpton by the P. 31. train
yesterday, whic4 did not arrive at Nine Elms until thirty-
five minutes afor the time it was due. This was partly to
be attributed to the trains stopping at Weybridge and Waii(ls-
- neither of which places the 6 1..31, up-train is adver-
tised to stop at in the printed lists. I state this entirely on
public grounds, as from the very high rate of charges on
the South-Western, I thlnk at least the Directors ought to
be more particular in the performance of their engagements.
I am, Sir. your obedient servant,
A FREQUENT TRAVELLER BY THE
SOUTH-WESTERN.

TO THE EDITuII OF THE SUN.
Sts,—l understand that the Bishop of London is reaping a rich
arvest by leasing ground for building purposes at Paddington.
T.be worst feature, however, is the uprooting of the working men's
etnqages, which have been let at a low rent. A large number will
sbe,nly be taken down. Now, where are the working people to
live Would it not be well to build in that locality a number of
small houses, in the form of squares, for the working men ? Why
should large houses overthrow everything ? The workman is
driven to the dismal cellar in consequence of the indifference of the
tipper elmses. I hope the attention of the Bishop of London will
be directe I to this important subject.—Yours, &c., B.

BRITRIH ASSOCIATI4,N FOR THE

ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.
Cabitiones, JONiS 24.—The adjourned meeting of the General
Committee to decide upon the next time and place of meeting, and
the choice of officers, was held yesterday afternoon in the Council-
room at the Town Hall. Sir John Herschel! was in the chair,
and the attendance was very numerous.
Mr. Muaciusox, the general secretary, announced that at the
last meeting invitations had been received to hold the meeting for
1845 at Bath and at Southampton. The former had been dropped,
but there was a deputation from the latter town then in the room.
An invitation had also been received from Cheltenham, where, in
anticipation that the meeting would be held there, a provisional
committee had been formed to make arrangements.
Dr DAUSENEY, Professor of Chemistry at Oxford, stated that
be was authorised to make a Communication from the University
of Oxford, which he did under better circumstances than on the
two last occasions. At Cork he stated that he did not know
whether another reception would be cordial, but he now knew
that it would ; and in this expression he could be supported by his
eolleeoues. He hoped that in another year this would be brought
before t heir notice in some more official form.
Sir Jose BOILESU, Bart., stated that a deputy had been ap.
pointed to attend this meeting, to convey a unanimous resolution
from the 513y0r and Town Council of Norwich, who was unavoid.
ably absent. The reception would, however, he was enabled to state,
be in every wL•y gratifying and accommodating.
The deputatian from Southampton and Cheltenham having ad-
dressed the meeting,
Mr. Muammar proposed that the next meeting should be held
at Southampton. Ha' advocated it chiefly from its proximity to
!France. and the probability of the attendance of many of the philo-
.°Phers from that country, whilst it was not unlikely that be could
Prevail upon the French Geological Society to visit the Association
In a body. This having been agreed to,
The Marquis of NoILTHAMPTON proposed. and the Dean of ELY
seconded, that Mr. Murchison, F. R.S., should be the President fur
the ensuing year.
Mr. Atimettisox next read a list of the Vice-Presidents sug.
tested for the Southampton meeting, which, on account of its
being in so extensive an agricultural district, it had been found
desirable to increase the number of. In pursuance of the recom-
mendation of the Council, the Vice-Presidents elected were the
Itarmils of Winchester, the Earl of Yarborough, Lord Ashburton,
Viscount Palmerston, Sir George Staunton, Bart., M P., Sir Wil.
barn Heathcote, Bart., M.P., the Speaker of the House of Can-
teens, the Dean of Westminster, Rev. Baden Powell, and Professor
Owen.
The local secretaries and treasurer having been appointed, it
was, after some discussion, decided that the meeting should be held
in the first week of September.
The business at the various sections yesterday, with the excep-
tion of the mechanical section, was very full. The number of
Papers read was filly.two, but at the mechanical section there was
no sitting.
In the evening Mr. Murchison delivered a discourse on the
geology of Russia and the Ural mouptains. The meeting was
afterwards addressed in a very eloquent manner by the Dean of
Westminster and Professor Sedgwick, and the Senate House was
"In more fully attended than on the previous evenings of the
Week.

TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Donizetti's opera Roberto Devereuz was revived on Tuesday even-
int, for the purpose of introducing Madame Rossi Caccia and M.
Baroilhet to an English audience, in the parts of Queen Elizabeth
arid Nottingham. Madame Rossi Caccia was for a considerable
tnne prima donna at the Opera Comique in Paris, from thence she
le,ent to Lisbon, where she created quite a furore, and, judging
eto.ti last night, we think there can be no doubt but that her sue-
Celia in London will be quite as triumphant as it was at Lisbon.
her voice is a pure soprana of considerable power, and of im-
mense compass. The upper notes of her voice are
°t the most delicious quality, and she has it completely
Under command. Her execution is marvellous, and she, moreover,
Possesses great power of expression. This was more particularly
toanifest in her first song, L'amer suo, in which the contrasts
between the Fiona and the forte were fully brought out. She was
encored in the duet with Moriani, Un lampo, and also in the duet
▪ ita non piombi it fulmine with Baroilhet. Her acting was full
44 energy and fire, and her personation of the Queen .as at
Wice impassioned and majestic. M. Baroilhet has long been
koown on the cont.nent as the first of French bari-
tone,. He is a most accomplished artist, and his voice,
vi which he perfectly understands the management, possesses an
ahnost Rubini like power of expression. The part of Nottingham,
twbich was originally written for him, received fuel justice at his
44Irds. Moriani played the part of Roberto with an intensity and
Pathos ths't have never before' been equalled. He sang the music
exquisitely, The Roberto of Moriani is by far the best that has
)et appeared upon the stage, and we say this with the full recollec-
tion of Rubini in the same character. The three were called for
au Use conclusion' of the opera, and loudly applauded. The house
was crowded. Among the company present we ob-erved_.....
their Royal Higkhnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cain.
