by her most gracious Majesty, and used in the Royal Palaces

nufacturers under the Patent, having availed themselves of the
rapid strides tow making in the Arts ofDesign in this Country,

therto produced, andOftable for every description of room and
decoration. The Public can be supplied through their Agents

HOUSE' OF LORDS

-FRIDAY

Lord PORTMAN called the attention of their lordships to
the circumstance, that the money received under the.att-
thmity of the Queen's letter, for the relief of the sufferers
by the fire at St. John's, Newfoundland, had not been
wholly so disposed of, a portion of it having been applied
to the rebuilding of the episcopal church there—coin-

plained that the money had sbeen appropriated by a com-
mittee sitting in London, instead of being appropriated by
parties on the spot, and concluded by moving an address
to the Crown, that when her Majesty should be advised to
issue letters for a similar purpose, the object for which
the money was to be raised should be distinctly stated, and
that the persons by whom it was to be appropriated should
be named. _ _ _

Bishop of LONDON defended the course taken by
the church of St. John's was destroyed by

the commi
4 firm on

decided that a

irtion of the suliser

Lion should go in aid of its restoration.
Earl GREY stated that the working classes had received
compensation nearly to the amount of their losses, and as
the cost of• the rebuilding of the church would otherwise
have fallen principally on the shopkeepers, he thought
that a good reason why a portion of the money raised
should be applied for effecting the object as carried out by
the committee.

teniion of bringing the subject forms:

on Monday.
Mr. RcvA.Z.7

in an ex

planatory speech, moved that it

was expedient .a more direct system of taxation on property
should be substituted, as far as possible, for the indirect
system, by customs and excise duties, as now in use,
Mr. HUME seconding the

motion

The CHANcEm.on of the EXCHEQUEU ,qpposed it, on
the ground that it would be his duty, in the ensuing ses-
sion, to bring the subject of taxation generally before the
house, when it would have to consider whether that prin-
ciple of direct taxation (the income tax) should be made
permanent, or perhaps increased, or whether the country
should return to the old system of indirect taxation. This
great object would be—though he despaired of making any
system of taxation palatable to those on whom it fell—to
endeavour, as far as possible, to apportion it, whether
direct or indirect, fairly upon all classes of thecomrnunity.
Aftersome further discussion the motion was withdrawn.

We have freqiientlydrawn attention of

increase in the demand for slate, both for home and for-
eign consumption, which has rendered quarries of.that
article a very valuable property. Several undertakings
have lately been brought before the public for the purpose
of working slate-quarries ; and we have little doubt, if
properly managed, they will be a source of great profit to
those who embark in them. The export trade to America
has, we understand, increased considerably, while the
fact, that from 70,000 to 80,000 houses are being annually
built in this country, must, of itself, tend to keep up a
steady demand ; and last, thougn not least, we have a
new means of consumption for slate in the uses in which
it has superseded such materials as lead, zinc, &c., in
the construction of cisterns and vats, and frequently mar-
ble in chimney-pieces. The slate quarries of Wales are,
perhaps, the most important, both on account of their
extent, and the number of persons employed in them, as
well as the quality and value of the slate. The Penhyrn
Quarry, which is situate a few miles from Bangor, de-
serves especial notice, employing, as it does, upwards of
2000 persons, and yielding its wealthy proprietor (the
Hon. Col. Pennant) a princely annual revenue, The qua-
lity of the slate from this, as, indeed, from all the quar-
ries in the neighbourhood of Bangor, is universally

was not connected with cramps or

masonry of the pier. The railway over the~whole brid
was curved, this broken girder supporting the outer sic
nd being subject to a greater lateral force than the g
the inside radius of the curve. He con
dered, in conclusion, that this lateral force acting duri

ders forming

ssage of each train, must have—s-O-1

inefficient masonry, as to cause a displacement of the
girder itself, and its consequent tracture. The part that
had given way was the weakest. The masonry was deci-
dedly defective, and the girder was not set far enough upon
the pier, and there were no iron bolts to hold it down. It
was an experimental bridge of a novel construction. It
was stated that the girders were made at the Gusely iron

works, and had all been tested. There had been 'nearly
100 bridges erected with similar girders, and this was the
first that had given way. The coroners and others said
that a rumour had prevailed that the bridge was unsafe.

Major Robe said he had witnessed the progress of the
building of the bridge, and had expressed to Mr. Munt
at the time that one part of it was insufficient. He con-
sidered the breaking of the girder the cause of the acci-
dent. Mr. Lee, engineer, who superintended the build-
ing of the bridge, said, he thought it had fallen from a
lateral blow, but how or by what given he could not tell.
He had never heard any complaints as to the state of the
bridge. The deflection of the bridge both before and
since the accident was la to la inch. He had seen the
three engines and three tenders linked passed over it, and
their weight would be about 120 tons. The Rev. Arthur

Rigg, principal of the Chester Training College said

—first, defective masonry, especially in the;1311;;i;
secondly, a peculiar vibration ; and third, the horizontal
motion of the bridge. He saw no objection to the prin-
ciple, but could give no opinion as to the strength of the

materials.
At four o'clock the inquest was adjourned till Wedne
day morning, at ten o'clock, to allow time for the attei

dance of several government officials. At the close of the
sitting, the jury proceeded to the bridge to witness some
experiments to show the amount of deflection caused by
the passing of a train.

It is a singular fact that the same jockey, Templeman,
won the Derby and Oaks this year ; and that last year, in
like manner, the same jockey won the like events. We
allude to Sam Day, who rode Pyrrhus the First and Men-
dicant. It is also a curious fact, that the first and second
in the Oaks this year are by Venison.
The novel and astonishing performance of walking 767
yards on a 110 gallon puncheon, weighing 1541b5., for a
wager of £5, in 35 minutes, came off last week at Chel-
tenham. The propeller was Signor Blitz, who stood up-
right on his novel vehicle, which rolled rapidly along,
propelled by the stepping forward of the Signor, amidst
the applauding shouts of a number of spectators. He
completed his task in 11 minutes and 34 seconds, being
234- minutes within the given time.
SETTLING FOR THE DERBY AND OAKS.—The winners
of the above races having, at the time, been generally
supposed to be "harmless" horses, we fully expected to
have to speak of an easy settling. We regret to say that
it has turned out quite the reverse—not merely a bad one,
but one of the worst that has been known since Cothers-
tone's year. Two parties were missing, whose losses can-
not be stated at less than £20,000. One of them, who is
connected with the highest families in the kingdom, is a
loser of about £12,000, of which there is no immediate
prospect of payment. The other is a Mr. P—, of whom
there is no hope whatever. It appears that this worthy,
not satisfied with " drawing " all he could on Monday
without disbursing a farthing, enclosed a list of debts due
to him on the race to one of the parties from whom he
had received, begging him to " collect all he could and
retain the half for his trouble," adding that he was " ut-
terly ruined," and concluded by graciously permitting his
victim to make any excuse lie might think tit for collect-
ing for him ! Of course this impudent attempt at swind-
ling was immediately made public.—London Timm
