Mn. Ronnnr STEPHENSON, M. P., on Ran.- wars. On taking the chair for the first time since his election as president of the Institu- tion of Civil Engineers, on the 8th inst. Mr. Stephenson delivered an address, in which he described British Railwa sos spreadin , like it net work, over Great ritain and Ire and to the extent of 8054 miles; in length exceedin the ten chief rivers of Europe united, an comprising more than enough of sin lo rails to make a belt of iron round the lo The cost of these lines had been , , 0 about one third of the amount of the national debt. Already in two cars, more than one- fourth of 286 millions had been spent in the war; and yet, how small were the advanta es obtained by it, in comparison with the resu ts secured by the railways. There were 50 miles of railway tunnels, eleven miles of viaduct in the vicinity of the metropolis alone, 550,000,- 000 cubic yards of earthworks, the earth of which would form a. pyramid a mile and a half in height, on a. bass lar er than St. James’s pork. Trains run 80 mi lions of miles annu- ally, with o. wcrkin stock of 5000 engines and 150,000 vehicles. fa is straight line, the en- gines would extend from London to Chatham, the vehicles from London to Aberdeen. The railway companies employed 90,400 oﬂicers and servants; the engines consumed annually 2,000,000 tons of coals, so that in every mi- nute 0 time, four tons of coals ﬂaishcd into stoam 20 tons of water, on amount suﬁicient for the supply of the domestic and other wants of the town of Liverpool. The coal consumed was almost equal to the whole amount export- ed to foreign countries and to one half of the annual consumption of London. In 1854, the railways conveyed 111 millions of passengers, each travelling on average of twelve miles. The old couches carried an average of ten pass- engers and for the conveyance 0 300,000 ass- engers, a day 12 miles each, there would ave been required at least 10,000 coaches and 120, 000 horses. In 1854, railway receipts amount- ed tc £20,2l5,000; and there was no instance where receipts had not been of continuous growth, even where portions of trallic had been obstructed by competition or new lines. The wear and tear was great. 20,000 tons of iron required to be re laced annually; 26 millions of sleepers annu ly perished; 300,000 trees were annually felled to malte good the loss; and 300,000 trees could be grown on little less than 5000 acres of forest land. The principle of a renewal fund, to meet those annual depre- ciations, was. he said, questionable. After a certain period in the history of every railway, deterioration reached an annual average. and as that annual depreciation became ti charge, as fixed and certain as the cost of the fuel, or the salaries of the ollicers, it should be admit- ted as an annual charge against receipts.

Mir. W. S. LINDSAY, M. P., AND rtn Pttooitxas or Siiii-i-iisc.—At the annual meetin of the Tyneniouth Mechanics’ Institution, held in the Town-liall of that borough, on the night of the 15th, Mr. W. S. Lindsay delivered an address upon the progress of shipping, and the impedi- ments to the commerce of this country. He gave a history of the rise and progress of the mercantile navy of this country, and took a review of the systems of protection and free trade. Though protection had been properly removed from shipping, many of those burdens incident to a state of protection had still re- mained. Recently, however, much had been done to put shipping upona fair and equal ooting. And amongst more recent measures he alluded to the Act for consolidation of the merchant shipping-laws, as likely to be of ad- vantage to commerce; and he was happy to state, that u on the first day that Parliament would assem le,the Vice-president of the Board of Trade would place u on the table of the House of Commons a Bil , to be brought in by the Government, for the abolition of cinque ort privileges, and the removal of those local Eurdens, such as town dues, &c., upon ship- ing, for lighting, watching, and paving towns. With those burdens removed, and taking ad- vantage of the great scientitle discoveries which were constantly being brought under the notice of practical men, he believed that the British shipowner could compete with and beat the

world. He alluded to the folly of the govern- ment of the day in refusing to open the coast- ing trade,_at the time that the navigation laws were abolished ; and as the American commer- cial_poliey was that ‘of strict reciprocity, de- priving us of the privilege of trading between the cities on the eastern seaboard of Ame;-ic. 3-Dd Cllifornil; and. In the latter-named state was upon the highway to China, introdue° American clippers to com etc with Britis shipping there. In his ( r. Lindsay's) opi. nion, iron vessels would, to a cat extent, nu- persede timber vessels, as they ave the advan- tage both in capacitg, strength, and compact. ness of material. e believed, that the most important principle applied to nevi tion in recent times was _the application of t o auxili- ary Screw eatltn vessels making log vo - ages to India,asa. vessel could by this means ta 5 a vantage of the trade winds and the sti-on west winds oil‘ the Cape of Good Hope to sail and, on reaching the calms, could push hang]? through them with her small engine which would not occupy much space or in’vo]ve 3 large expenditure of fuel. The failure of the iron screw steamship companies which had been established to trade with India might be accounted for by the fact that they had not taken advantage of the provisions of nature as displayed in those winds, but had attem ted to drive their vessels the whole distance with the steam engines, which had caused a heavy ex- penditure of fuel and great delay, by the V9559]. eing obliged to call at stations to coal.——The lecture was very well received ; which is saying something for the rogrcss of o inion, as Tynemouth was the pllaee, where the not rag of the ting of protection was left 11 ' g by 111-, G, F_. Young and his sup ortors. Lindsay in his short _vistt to ynemouth has evidently played his cards well,” and has done a great deal to breakdown the opposition that was threatening to imperil his seat.

Lire IN rrin Ciuini:a.—A correspondent writes from London that the British oﬂicers in the _Crimea appear to be preparing for a gay winter. The 90th regiment is getting out a billiard table. Many of the regiments have established very fair messes. The light division has ordered out a pack of harriers. The Crimea is said to be a won- derful country for game, particularly bares, woodcocks, and quails. Foxes are very numerous, and are killed by the Zouaves for the sake oftheir skins.

Rnwanns or Mncnatiicai. Ga:Nius.—It is stated in the Scimtiﬁc ﬂmerican, that the right to a portion of Ward's patent shingle machine was recently sold in Albany for $35,000. A portion of Robertson's sewing machine had also been sold for $30,000. This is an invention which can be carried in the pocket, and will enable a seamstress to do in one y the ordinary labor of a week. Machines of this kind are about to be constructed in New Haven, Conuecﬁ- cut, by the Messrs. Jerome, at $10 apiece; the manufacturers are now constructing the machinery, and expect to sell to orders the present month. Hoive’s patent sewing ma- chine yields, it is said, $50,000 for license; to use it, and Singer's machines put $75,- 000 into the pockets ofthe owners. Rights to the use ofa corn-planter have been sold to the amount of $30,000 Clark’; patent pump sold for $30,000. A portion of the I ht to an apple-paring machine, $2000. reamer’s patent car brake, $200,- 000. Such rewards as these for American inventions are certainly stimulating to me- chanical genius, and the only wonder is that there are not tcn mechanical inventions where one now exists, when there is so wide aﬁeld for its exercise in almost every de- partment of business.
