TPIE TUffKISII• CONTINGENT. KERTCH, Nov. 26.—The arrival of this force at this late season puts an end to the slightest chance of active operations this year on their part against the enemy. General Vivian, instead of heedlessly wasting most precious time in the delicious halls and bowers of the Russian summer palace on the banks of the Bosphorus during the summer months, now comes forth with his men to ensconce them for the winter in the Crimea. Most are still under canvas. &low -leas set in; and the Turkish Con- tingent will be housed and hutted probably next January;. In the meanwhile sickness and the in- clemency of the weather will do its work of deci- mation, far greater than the sword of the hussar or the lance (4-the cossack, who occasionally show in the neighbourhood. Lieutenant-General Vivian, no doubt, while Adjutant-General of the Madras Army, was most efficient at the red-tape and pen- and-paper business ; but the utter waste and reck- lessness incurred in this force completely place his capabilities and ideas on a par with those of the ancient race of generals of 1793, who led their men to disgrace and defeat. No wonder that robbery, rape, and plhndering of all description have become the order of the day in Kertch ' from the indecisi on an d w i s h on th e par t of the Lieiitenant-Gener a l to soothe a few old Pashas, by overlooking the most horrible atrocities ever committed by the hand of man on the part of the Osmanli soldiers now beion,ging4 6 the Turkish Contingerit. What little remained of Kertch, from its first sack by the Allies, once one of the most beautiful towns in the universe, is now a scene of the greatest misery and desolation, from the atrocious and villanous excesses of every description by the troops __. ____. under Gen. Vivian—the roofs and flooring of the best houses torn up and burned for sheer wanton- ness and a passion for destroying property which ought to have been available fora future slay. The arrival from Bnyukdere of a fresh supply of those heroes was the signal for a fresh display of the same conduct, consisting of every crime in the calendar, on the unfortunate few of the poor resi- dents who could not escape with their more fortu- nate neighbours to a secure place of safety. A minute portion of some of their soldier-like propen- sities I will now relate for the edification of John Bull, who has the gratification of raying for those scoundrels. A few evenings hack two of those heroes, a cap- tain and a private, attacked a small house occupied by two old ladies above 60 years of age, and plun- dered them of all the money and valuables they possessed. They then attempted a horrible crime, when, an alarm being given, they escaped with th e i r spoil. The next day the fellows came again, when an outcry being raised, one scoundrel drew his sabre, and cut ono poor woman's head asunder, while the other smashed her skull with a huge stone. The wretched woman being released from her misery in a very short time, the fellows made towards their camp as if nothing occurred, no looker on daring to notice it for fear of meeting the same doom. Those murderers belonged to a regiment of the Contingent that. arrived only a few days back from Buyukdere, and, though officially reported at head- quarters to the Deputy Adjutant-General, Turkish Contingent, Lieut.-Colonel (local) Crewe, a captain in the Madras army, no notice or endeavours what- ever were taken to find out the assassins, though this gallant officer of the Madras army, who never saw a shot fired during his career, if lte perceived au officer out of regimentals in the camp or street, would order him to return at once to his quarters, under pain of being placed in arrest and reported to the Lieut.-General commanding, making a fuss perfectly ridiculous to soldiers, while no notice is taken of assassins such as I have described. It is well known that the wealthy portion of the Russians inter their dead with their rings and jewel- lery attached to their persons, and it was brough t under the notice of the authorities that the graves and tombs in the burial-grounds were exhumed and the dead bodies exposed to every indignity by the atrocious rapacity of the Turkish soldiers re- _ _ cently arrived. A small picket of the 71st High- land light infantry, a corporal and six men-250 of whom are quartered in Kertch—were patrolling the town near the churchyard the same evening the woman was murdered, when tTey were fired upon by those sacrilegious vampires ; they soon re- turned the fire, a yuz bashi on the spot and wounding others. N'ot the least notice was taken by the contingent authorities of the conduct of those men, unless to hush the affair, if possible, from becoming public ; while the non-commissioned officer and men of the 71st, for their gallant con- duct, were thanked in regimental orders. The morning after this affair, Reschid Pacha, who com- manded a brigade of Turks previous to General Vivian's arrival, had the consummate impertinence to send his interpreter with a written order to Captain Hope, commanding the 71st, to place the picket in close arrest, previous to their being tried by a court-martial for shooting one of his officers. The gallant captain, th e moment h e rea d th e order, crumpled it up, stating to the interpreter there was no answer, but to tell the Pacha how he treated his orders, and would continue to do the same with any others he might send on the subject. Peaceful measures with these demi-savages will never teach them their duty towards society—nothing, I am convinced, but the strong iron hand of military discipline held over them will ever bring them to order. No temporising or half-measures of mis- placed affected feeling towards a Turk can make him act towards you in any other way than a half- suspicious feeling that you have some design to- wards him, to b e tt er yourse lf out of h i s su p e riority as a human bei ng — a f e ll ow li tt l e b etter in intel- lect than the lar ger spec i es o f a b a b oon, a s far . as '1 his moral or hu man f ee li ngs go, where a Ch • st= is concerned. A slight commotion was caused in the market- place of Kertch on F r id ay l ast. Th e - c i rcum stances are as follow :—The provost marshal, Major Guernsey, and th e comman d ant of t h e s i eg e de- fences Major Hill, R.A. were walking in the neighbourhood of th e chief pay-office on the heights of Kertch, the former looking out, as was his duty, for squalls —or, vulgarly speaking, to see what was going on, in the vicinity of the late dreadful mur- der. At some distance ocf, on a hill, lie espied five Turkish soldier s susp i c i ous l y wa t c hi n g a house belonging to an old man , a R uss i an, an d five chil- dren ; they soon ent ere d , an d , as usua l , knocking down th e man an d c hild ren, putting them in fear of their life ; then plundering became the order of the day. The provost-marshal coming up to the house changed the scene. Two of the fel- lows, coming out of the gateway laden with the spoil, immediately dropped it and bolted ; the other three were caught in a trap in the yard, with all the articles they could carry away ; two of them escaped, but the third was secured by the provost- marshal, and taken to the guard, where he re- ceived three dozen lashes, which he most richly deserved, amidst a commotion of Turkish officers and soldiers, of all descriptions and grades, who appeared dreadfully annoyed that this person was not allowed to go free as they wished—foras toknock- ing down an old man and children, putting aside a little 'outing, in their eyes constituted no crime. However, the chief leader of the mob outside the prison was a captain of the same regiment, the 7th Turkish Contingent, quartered at Fort Paul, near five miles off from where the delinquents were caught. After the fellow received his punishment he was let free, when an attack was made by a mob of over three hundred, headed by the above officer with a drawn sword ; stone throwing and other missiles were vented on the unfortunate provost- ind as his revolver out, and, covering a fello w that nearly cool provost- marshal and his assistants , who were knocked down, and would to a certainty have be en murdered on the spot, the t, if saying n f g o r i isn) a ers a m , with cu c presence u a ber,had not pulled broke his arm with a stone, shot him through the lungs—repeating the dose to two other indivi- duals, by clipping a fellow's ear and shooting a Turkish soldier through the neck, which nearly settled him. The valiant heroes soon cleared the streets. The captain, who caused the row, threw himself flat on the ground the moment he saw Major Guernsey's pistol pointed towards him, who had magnanimity enough not to shoot the scoun- drel as he lay on his back floundering like a turtle and growling for mercy ; he merely took his sword and broke it. The provost-marshal was wounded in the head and his arm nearly broken ; one of his serjeants was cut and bruised ; a corporal of the 71st also had his arm severely cut from a sabre. The affray was witnessed by Major Hill, R.A. Captain Geo. Swaby, 39 th Regt., Major F. Miller, BOth Regt., and Captain Walker, of the East India Company's service, who all deposed before a court of inquiry that, but for the coolness and intrepidity of that officer, all the Europeans would have been murdered on the spot to a moral certainty. He only acted in self.defence, and they would have done the same. Indeed the latter officer, riding up at the moment, cut down a Turk with his sword, while in the act of felling one of the ser- jeants with a stone.

MODEL OF SEBASTO_POL. Among the of the metropolis, the Great in Leicester-square, must ever hold a high position, not only because of its unique- ness and other attractions as an exhibition, but also because of its practical utility as a means of instruction in geographical science. Maps and globes, undoubtedly, are to be had in abundance, at a cost, too, which places them within the reach of one half of the population, and comparatively accurate, as many of them are, much useful infor- mation may be derived from them ; but it is at the Great Globe alone, constructed as it is on an extra- ordinary scale of magnitude, that a full appreci- ation.of the relative positions, the extent, impor- tance, aspect, and peculiarities of every country in the world can be obtained, and that almost at a glance. It is not surprising, therefore, that the spirited proprietor, Mr. Wyld, should enjoy a large share of public patronage and support, more especially when his constant efforts to enhance the value of the exhibition are taken into account. With what judgment these are carried on, a visit to the Great Globe at the present time will suffi- ciently demonstrate. As we all know the war in which this country, in conjunction with her gallant Allies, is engaged,very naturally absorbs in a large degree the attention of the public. For the satis- faction of this general curiosity and interest, Mr. 1 Wyld, it will be seen, has liberally and successfully , catered. Any one desirous of information in rela- tion to the war has only to present himself, shilling in hand, at the entrance of the buildingin Leicester- square, at three o'clock in the afternoon, or half-past eight at night, to have his wishes gratified. Having ascended the staircase in the interior of the globe he will have the main particulars pointed out and explained by the lecturer,tho Rev. Mr. Brastead, in a striking and lucid manner. A pretty accurate no- tion will thus be acquired of the vast extent of the Russian territories, of the alleged scope and danger of Muscovite ambition--of the importance of Sebas- topol to the furtherance of its aims, and of the value to us, as the possessors of India, and to Tur- key of the heroic resistance of the gallant tribes of the Caucasus to Russian aggression. The lecture over the visitor will be conducted to the spacious room containing the model of Sebastopol, the large size of which will excite his admiration. The scale en which it is constructed is nine inches to the mile horizontally, 260 feet to the inch vertically, and including an area of 200 square miles. An inspec- tion of the interesting-spectacle will, with the lec- turer's assistance, enable him fully to appreciate the nature of the ground, the peculiarities of the fortified positions, and the unprecedented operations in which the Allied armies are engaged. To the north he will observe the high lands on which the fortifications of the northern side of the harbour are erected ; to the south the;cliffs forming the bay of Balaklava and the high range extend- ing to Cape St. George ; to the east the high grounds rising from the valley of the river Tcher- naya ; to the west the high cliffs declining to the low lands of Cape Chersonese ; and in the centre the plateau occupied by the French and English armies, with their relative and divisional positions and respr.ctire approaches distinctly marked, to- gether with the town, harbour, and fortifications !of Sebastopol. Th o l ocus i n quo of each engage- ment in the Crimea is pointed out and explana- tions given by the lecturer, so as to enable the visitor to appreciate the peculiarities of the actions of Balaklava and Inkerman. Ills curiosity satisfied as to geographical and scientific matters, lie will perceive on looking round the room a variety of articles captured from the Russians at 13oinarsund. Conspicuous among these is a beau- tiful statuette of the Emperor Nicholas, said to be a pod likeness, a rudely-finished lady's work-box, a clumsily-fashioned lauthorn, a censer, a crimson sacerdotal vest embroidered with gold lace, in- cluding a cross at the back, several coarse military cloth and sheepskin coats, the latter shaggy and otherwise. Besides these ho will notice a variety of Russian weapons, Minis and Enfield rifles, shot and shell (from Woolwich), and models of fortifica- tions, gabious, sand-ba gs , an d o th er ma tt ers eat- ployed in the siege ; together with the War or a large collection of the costumes of the armies of Europe, including portraits of Lord Raglan and other generals in the Crimea. And here, if ? he is not unreasonable, our friend will desist for this visit from further inspection and will retire homeward, net only gratified with what he has heard and seen, but also determined to visit the Great Globe again, and bring others with him.

J. MARTIN'S CASE. Tho wounded sailor's story is a bad one, and was told in a simple honest manner, but the police sergeant accused dixelai toed striking him with great appearance of sincerity; and, looking to the evidence, we think Martin may have fixed on the wrong man. — J. T. KING'S CASE. It is clear that Leach, 147 A, had a boy in custody, who was rescued about the same time when King was pushed against him. Leach may have attacked and struck him, under the impression that he was assisting in the rescue. Leach gives a different account from Charles James, and describes an encounter in which he got possesfion of two sticks, and struck a lad who had got possession of his trun- cheon. There is no evidence to corroborate Leach as to the encounter he speaks of, and we have no doubt that Leach struck the complainant. The most favourable interpreta- tion is, that he struck King supposing him to have been engaged in the rescue; but if so, he struck him with unne- cessary and reckless violence. The rescue and excitement may in some degree palliate this offence; but Leach's want of candour and misrepresentation are bad features in the Case. B. L. SMITH'S CASE. Complaint was also made against Charles Leach, 147 A, for apprehending Mr. B. L. Smith, a barrister, who was confined all night in one of the cells at Vine-street sta- tion. Originally there was a charge made by Leach against Mr. Smith, the hearing of which the magistrate adjourned for a week, and the charge was ultimately withdrawn by Leach, but under what circumstances, or why, is not very clear. Leach, however, stated on oath before us that Mr. Smith assaulted him, and that his conduct was riotous. Mr. Smith did not appear before us, and no evidence was given to affect the statement of Leach on this point, and under these circumstances we cannot hold that Leach exceeded his duty in making this arrest. R. WOODWARD'S CASE. We entertain no doubt that Woodward was struck and injured by some policeman, but policeman 593 A was in Westminster Hospital ill of typhus fever when we sat to take evidence, and we have since ascertained that he died in the hospital on the 10th of August. G. B. COUCHES'S CASE. As to the charge against policeman 229 A, the witness Coukher did not appear when 229 A was produced in the court to identify him, and it was proved by this policeman, confirmed by the testimony of his landlord, that 229 A was at home and not on duty on the Ist of July. As to the con- duct of Superintendent Martin, we consider that the remo- val of the complainant out of the carriage -way was proper, and that the superintendent could hardly be expected to dis- cuss the point under the pressure of duties which required his attention. The pmc3edings to remove the complain- ant were rough, but if he would not quit the carriage-way voluntarily he exposed himself to some degree of compul- sion, and it does not appear that he was hurt. If Mr. Coulcher bad a right to remain, other foot passengers had also a right to remain in the carriage -way, and it would be impossible to clear it for carriages. W. STEPHENS'S CASE. There is no doubt that the savage attack on Stephens was unjustifiable, and that he was seriously injured. The only question is as to the identity of the policeman 81 C as a party concerned in the attack. Stephens is almost certain that Charles Madgett, 81 C, is the wan who struck him on the mouth. Nightingale and Humphries both swore positively as to identity of Madgett, and as to his taking part in the violence done to Stephens. We consider that there is sufficient proof that Charles Madgett took part in the illegal violence in this case. R. F. SANDALL'S CASE. Mr. Sandall does not speak with any well grounded con- fidence as to Inspector Lester being the man who struck him, and after Lester's denial on oath it would be wrong to hold him to be the offender. J. STAPLES'S CASE. It is certain the policeman was not the man of whose conduct Mr. Staples complained. Mr. Staples said he was not the man, though it is difficult to account for his mis- take in taking the number. T. M'LEOWNAN'S CASE. Thomas Prowse did not appear before us; if he had come forward as a witness this case might have been cleared of doubt. The evidence, as It stands, is conflicting, and we do not consider the alleged misconduct and improper lan- guage to be proved with certainty against the policeman John Bray. H. B. MAXWELL'S CASE. Mr. Mitchell afterwards stated that he did not pre ss th e charge against this policeman, and we exonerat e p o li ceman 345 A from this charge, but there is no doubt unwarrant- able violence was used towards Mr. Maxwell by some po- liceman on duty. T. CANNON'S CASE. The witness Cannon was maltreated, but his evidence is insufficient to prove who was the offender. The Second Class of these cases consists of those in which witnesses complained of misconduct on the part of known policemen; but the persons alleged to have been injured or aggrieved were not examined or known. CASE OF A BOY HURT. The policeman's explanation seems satisfactory, and con- sistent with the witness Blanchard's evidence. CASE OF A. MAN STRUCK. If the time of the transaction in question had been dis- tinctly fixed as at 5 o'clock , th e p olice man 375 A would took place about 6 o'clo c k. Th e ge which make s it pro- have disproved the charge by sh owin g th at he was then at Vine-street, but, the time is not so fixed ; and Blanchard mentions that 10 minutes after the transa c t ion he saw the h policemanb that w t i h t e h t a ra b n o s y ac i t n iont his oo c injured person does not appear, but Blanchard and Berry speak so distinctly to the facts, and also to the person and number of James Teasdale, that, notwithstanding his de- nial, we think this charge of violence is sufficiently proved against him. CASE OP A BOY KNOCKED DOWN. It is impossible to reconcile the account which this wit- ness gives with his guilt, yet the witness Daniel took down the number, A 344, at the time. The witness Daniel does not identify the person of the policeman, and the boy stated to have been hurt does not appear. Under these circum- stances we give the policeman the benefit of the doubt. CASE OF VIOLENCE IN THE DRIVE. The young gentleman alleged to have bees ill-treated does not appear. The facts admit of the explanation given, and we cannot fix blame on the police, who were engaged in clearing the carriage-way at the time. CASE OF THREATENING. The explanation given in this case is probably correct; :heroforo we see no reason to censure the policeman. CASE OF ♦ MAN STRUCK, SUPPOSED TO BE BINCROFT. We Ma 3 1 0 person to whom Olives evidence ifs appli• cable except Bincroft, and, assuming tiara, he was the per- son, we think the policeman has answered the charge. CASE OF VICLENCE IN PARK-STREET. We find that Vincent Gummer, police-sergeant C, acted with unjustifiable violence in dispersing the crowd in Park-street. In a number of other cases the Commissioners find that either the case was explained, not proved, or the particular policeman not identified ; and as regards six others they state—We see no reason to doubt that in all there cares the violence spoken to was committed ; and in the absence of any explanation it appears to have been wholly unwar- ranted. After full inquiry into the complaints submitted to our consideration, we have deemed it our duty to report mis- conduct on the part of various members of the police ; a result the more to be regretted on account of the high character of that body; but if excesses were shown to have been committed by some, ample testimony WAS also borne to the moderation and forbearance of other mem- bers of the same body on the same occasion ' • and what- ever blame may attach to indi v id ua l s , it was through the exertions of the police that accidents were prevented in the park, and property in that vicinity protected from damage. When the events of the day are properly appreciated, we think they will not be found to afford any ground for les- sening the confidence of the public—a confidence founded on the experience of six-and-twenty years—in the general good conduct and efficiency of the Metropolitan Police. All which we humbly submit to your Majesty's most gracious consideration. 10th November, 1855. (L. S.) JAMES STUART WORTLEY. (L. S.) ROBERT BAYNES ARMSTRONG. (L. S.) GILBERT HENDERSON. COPY OF A LETTER TO SIR RICHARD MAYNE, K.C.8., COMMISSIONER OF POLICE OF THE METROPOLIS. Whitehall, November Li, 1855. I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to transmit to you a copy of the Report of the Commissioners ap- pointed to inquire into the disturbance of the public peace in Hyde-park on Sunday, the Ist July, and into the con- duct of the Metropolitan Police on that occasion. This Report, which was delivered to Sir George Grey on the 10th instant, has received his serious attention. From the description given by the Commissioners of the nature and character of the assemblage in the park on the day in question, of the noisy and riotous proceedings which took place, and of the danger caused by them to persons in carriages and on horseback, as well as from the statement of the Commissioners that the crowd contained a sprinkling of bad and dangerous persons who required the control of the police, and who, but for such control, might have led the way and been followed by the thought- less and inconsiderate to misAief and damage to property, the extent of which would only ha - re been limited by the resistance they met with, there can be no doubt that the interference of the police was indispensably necessary ; and Sir George Grey is happy to find that, in the opinion of the Commissioners, the presence and acts of the police en the Ist July had the effect of preventing any such result, and that it was through their exertions that accidents were prevented in the park, and property in that vicinity pro- tected from damage. It is a l so sa ti s f ac t ory t o k now t h a t there was no evidnce before the Commissioners of any loss of life or bone broken, or of any limb seriously hurt, or permanent injury of any kind inflicted. It is, however, with great regret that Sir George Grey finds that the result of the inquiry has been to establish, in the opinion of the Commissioners, charges of serious misconduct on the part of some members of the force, while they report that ample testimony was borne to the moderation and for- bearance of other members of the body on the same occa- sion, and that when the events of the day are properly appreciated, they would not, in their judgment, be found to afford any just grounds for lessening the confidence of the public in the general good conduct and efficiency of the Metropolitan Police. This high character which the force has acquired, and which is highly creditable ,to it as a body, and to those under whose immediate directions it has been placed, renders it the more important that every precaution should be taken to prevent its reputation being compromised and its efficiency impaired by misconduct on the part of any of its members. With this view lam to call your parti- cular attention both to the general statements of miscon- duct contained in this Report, and to the particular in- stances in which the Commissioners have recorded their opinion that such misconduct has been proved against in- dividual members of the police force. The latter cases are not numerous, and may properly be dealt with in the first instance. The first to which Sir George Grey feels it his duty to advert is, the case of Superintendent Hughes, who was charged with the general direction of the police in Hyde- park on the Ist July. The Commissioners state him to have been accused of undue excitement, of using impro- per language, of having been personally guilty of many as • sanits with his horsewhip, of issuing to the police without sufficient grounds orders to use their staves, and of failing to control many excesses on the part of the police under his command. The evidence in support of the first three of these charges was insufficient. to satisfy the Commission- ers of their being well founded ; but even after making allowance for the circumstances in which ho was placed, for the obstruction of the road, for the obstinacy of what they term the in the carriage-way and at the railings, and the fact of stones being thrown at himself and Superintendent Martin, the Commissioners think that Superintendent Hughes was not warranted in the order he gave the men to use their staves at the time that order was given, and that, although if the use of the staves had been strictly limited to the clearance of the carriage -road, they might have considered it justifiable, there was not the same necessity to drive the crowd from the railings, and still less to clear the space between the rails and the water of the Serpentine. They also think that prudence required that the experiment of removing and keeping back the crowd from the rail should have been abandoned immedi- ately the collisions attending it were perceived. The Com- missioners further advert in this part of their Report to the conduct of parties of the police in dispersing at a late hour in the evening groups collected at a distance from the drive, though it does not appear that any riotous or other illegal proceedings were going on in these groups. They do not, however, state that tlrse parties of police were under the immediate orders of Superintendent Hughes. The opinion of the Commissioners with regard to him, on a review of all facts in evidence, is, that in endeavour- ing to discharge) a difficult and embarrassing duty he gave too much sanction to the use of the staves, and exercised less control over his men than a due regard for the safety of unoffending individuals required ; and they believe that by a more calm and forbearing course on his part, much angry excitement at the time and complaint afterwards would have been avoided. It is right, how- ever, to notice the opinion of the Commissioners that, to remove and keep the people back at some distance from the rails, BO that the noises and gestures of the crowd might produce less effect, was the measuie most likely to be effectual for the protection of persons using the drive, and keeping the carriage-way clear, and that it was expressly directed by you, though under the circumstances detailed in the report, they state it to have been a task of great difficulty. They intimate, moreover, that it was attempted with an inadequate force, and that to this cause is to be attributed much of the violence which cannot be justified. Sir George Grey presumes that Superintendent Hughes was not responsible for the amount of the force at first employed, which must have been determined by the Commissioners of Police, and that the strong reinforcements which arrived between half-past 3 and half-past 5 o'clock were sent upon his application. With respect to the order for the use of the staves, Superintendent Hughes says that he gave it on his own responsibility, and that he gave it considering that the critical moment was come when, unless controlled, the dangerous elements of the crowd would become un- manageable, and serious mischief ensue. There can be no question but that calmness and forbear- hfp the a theseu factsb position.l i public o peace, t qualitiesh scar and s owe aus that lsdt lance are as essential as firm ness an d reso l ut i on i n an officer placed in command of a b o d y o f men engaged in reserv- igmarkedraend e ra m o a r n habitual wholly unfit ab for e- n George ata Greyein the has report,caref ully andth; consi- dered opinion of the Commi ss i oners, i n or d er to determ i ne whe- ther n cs:ab- sence : ther the conduct of Superintendent Hughes, under the circumstances in which he was placed on the Ist of July, was such as to disqualify him from holding the office of a Superintendent of Police. After taking into account all the circumstances as detailed by the Commissioners, and after considering the long service of Superintendent Hughes in the force, and the general approval with which he had during such service discharged duties requiring great judgment and discretion, Sir George Grey is of opi- nion that while it is necessary t o mark with ()ensure the conduct which the Commissioners have thought justly liable to blame, his dismissal from his office would be harsh and uncalled for. You will convey to him the disapproval of the Secretary of State of his want of forbearance and judgment on this occasion, and enjoin upon him, in the strongest terms, the of maintaining perfect self-control in the highlyperform- responsible d u ti es , an d of checking, perfo th rm- ance bo si fy ty hhiiss ex example and his orders, any unnecessary vio- lence on the part of those under his command. In connection with this part of the report, I am to direct your attention to the recommendation of the Commis- sioners, in which Sir G. Grey entirely concurs, that on oc- casions similar to that of the Ist July, a superior officer of the police ought to be on the spot. He is aware that this course has been adopted on the occasions on which, since the Ist of July, the attendance of large numbers of police has been required for the preservation of the peace, and it is obviously one which ought in all such cases to be taken. Sir G. Grey has also already directed you to ensure on all such occasions the presence of a force fully adequate for the duty it may be called on to perform. The amount of force requisite for any particular duty must be decided by the judgment and experience of the Commissioners of Police. But it is obvious that the presence of an adequate force at any spot which is likely to be the scene of tumult or disorder, is not only the best precaution against a breach of the public peace, but the surest means for the prompt and effectual suppression of any outbreak which may oc- cur. He is happy to know that the amount of force em- ployed by you, and the measures taken for its distribution and employment on the recant occasions on which the ex- traordinary services of police have been required, have been such as completely to effect the object in view. misconduct specified by the Commissioners in which theirey have named individual constables against whom, in I am next to advert to the particular instances h of judgment, charges of such misconduct have been . estab- lished. Sir George Grey has felt some difficulty in n decid- ing ing on the course which it is his duty to take h • •offence, and it has been a these, amounts to an indictable matter for consideration whether indictments shonl4l not • t all of these policemen for their alleged be preferred against cases. The misconduct imputed in most, if not in all of illegal conduct ; but considering the length of time which llas elapsed between the occurrences in question and the date of the report, the probability that some of the wit- nesses who appeared before the Commissioners may not now be forthcoming, and the fact that in some of these cases the persons alleged to have been injured or aggrieved were not known or ascertained, it appears to Sir George Grey that the better course is to leave the majority of these cases to be dealt with upon i the report by th e exer- cise of the power vested by law n the C omm i ss i oners of Police. The cases themselves are few i n num b er, and Sir George Grey is of opinion that, with the ex ce pti ons t o b e presently mentioned, the ends of justice and the object with which the inquiry was instituted, can be satisftic- torily obtained by this means. The policemen against whom the Commissioners have especially reported are - - • 398 A, since ascertained to be William Gearing, charged with the apprehension, without sufficient ground, of J. J. White, and of inexcusable violence to him while in custody. George Thorpe, 363 A, charged with the unjustifiable apprehension of Henry Austin. William Bewlay, 20 D, charged with unnecessary violence towards Wiliiam Floyd and James Vassie. Charles Leach, 147 A, charged with unnecessary arid reckless violence towards John Thomas Kin... Charles Madgett, 84 C, charged with taking part in illegal violence against William Stephens. amos T! 19, 375 A, and Thomas Wade, 385 A, charged with violence towards persons who were not known or examined. And Sergeant Vincent Gurnmer, 21 C, charged with unjustifiable violence in dispersing the crowd in Park- street. Of these men Sir G. Grey is informed that all are still serving in the police, with the exception of Charles Leach, who quitted the force in August last, and is therefore no longer subject to the authority of the Commissioners of Police. With regard to all these cases, with the excep- tion of those of Wm. Gearing, Wm. Bewlay, and Charles Madgett, lam to desire that you will take into considera- tion the facts stated in th 3 report, as affecting each of the policemen, and the finding of the Commissioners, and that in the exercise of the power vested in you by law, you will award in each case such punishment, either by suspension or dismissal, as 3 on shall think right, having regard to the ordinary course adopted by the Commissioners in the case of constables who are proved to have committed illegal or unjustifiable acts in the performance of their duty. In the three cases, however, of Gearing, Bewlay, and bladgett, the acts of violence deposed to before the Commissioners appear to have been so gross and unprovoked, that if they are satisfactorily proved, the mere dismissal from_ the force would be an inadequate punishment for the offence; and as the description of the witnesses against them renders it probable that the same evidence which was given before the Commissioners will be available on a trial, Sir George Grey thinks it right that an indictment should be pre- ferred against each of these men. Sir George Grey has not included Policeman Joseph Butcher, 109 .B, in the list of those against whom the Commissioners \ have re- ported, because, although they record their opinion that the arrest of James Bousted, who was taken into custody by him and other policemen who are not named, was not warranted by anything he had done, the constable appears to have acted in obedience to the orders of Superintendent. Hughes, and no complaint is made against Butcher per- sonally. The apprehension, moreover, of Bousted, after the caution he is said to have received, may reasonably be supposed to have been sanctioned by your written order, quoted in the report (p. 7) directing that any persons shouting or making any noise, or acting in any way cal- culated to cause disturbance or frighten horses, were to be cautioned as to the consequences and required to desist, and that if they did not immediately do so they were to be removed, and, if necessary, taken into custody. In addition to these cases, in which the policemen were identified, there are others of a similar character, in some of which no evidence affecting particular constables was given, while in others the evidence of identity was not satisfactory. Some r f these occurred in Hyde-park, but itr Park-street especially the Commissioners state that there were several cases of serious injury to unoffending individuAls, which proved a discreditable exercise of vio- lence.. It is impossible not to regret that persons of the charac- ter described by the Commissioners should have been mixed up with a crowd such as that which is stated in the report to have been collected in Hyde-park, and at a later hour in front of Lord Robert Grosvenor's house in Park- street, as it cannot be always easy to distinguish between persons mingling in such a crowd accidentally or without any bad intention, and those taking a part in its illegal proceedings. The Commissioners, however, have not been unmindful of the difficulties with which the police had to contend. In Hyde-park they say the police were engaged in efforts to check disorder and tumult during several hours, exposed to annoyance and insult, and often obliged to act under circumstances where it was difficult to discover the exact line of duty, and although surrounded by a vast multitudethey received little or no support in their exertions to maintain order. The Commissioners' opinion theriffore, ou the several cases they have detailed is entitled to the greater weight, as having been formed after taking all circumstances into account, and I am to direct your particular attention to it, and to desire that injunctions may be given to all the officers of the police to exercise a strict control over their men, and carefully to restrain them from any acts of needless violence. The police will receive the full support of the Government in the execution of the important duties they have to per- form, but those duties can only be usefully or efficiently performed by a cautious abstinence from any abuse of power, and from all acts which, if not strictly illegal, indi- cate a want of the temper and discretion which are pecu- liarly requisite in persons charged with the preservation of the public peace, and which Sir George Grey is happy to know generally characterise the Metropolitan police. I have now to turn to some other portions of the report, affecting some of the general arrangements connected with the occurrences of the lstiof July. The first relates to the confinement of the persons taken into custody at the Vine- street station. The remarks of the Commissioners on the defective nature of the arrangements with regard to the numbers sent to that station, and the inadequate provi- sion made for their accommodation, appear to Sir George Grey-to be fully warranted by the facts ; and although he has been informed that the want of any provision for send- ing a portion of the prisoners, in the first instance, to other stations, arose from the number having greatly exceeded what was anticipated, he is not aware of any satisfactory reason for a larger number not having been removed from Vine-street to other stations after the insufficiency of the accommodation in Vine-street had been ascertained. From communications, however, which he has had with you since these occurrences took place, he is glad to know that arrangements have been made by your directions for pre- venting, on any future occasion, the recurrence of mis- management attended with such serious results. Another subject very properly noticed by the Commis- sioners is, the delay in bringing the persons in custody before the magistrate. The utmost diligence ought undoubtedly to be used in taking before a magistrate persons arrested without the authority of a warrant; but as the delay in this instance was inquired into at the time, and its cause explained, and as directions have been given which will prevent the occurrence of any such delay o❑ any future occasion, it is unnecessary further to advert to it here. Sir George Grey does not understand the Commissioners to impute blame in any quarter owing to the refusal to admit the prisoners to bail. With regard, indeed, to those charged with riot, they correctly state that the constable at the station was not authorised by law to take bail, and that you could not properly have advised him to trans- gress the limit of his legal authority. With regard to the others, although the Commissioners think that they might have been lawfully admitted to bail by the constable in charge of the station, if application for that purpose had been made, they decline to censure the advice given not to exercise the power, and the refusal to do so, and they alto- gether acquit you of any blame for not having personally interfered for the purpose as was suggested. There is one other remark of the Commissioners which Sir George Grey thinks it right to notice. They advert to the difficulty of identifying policemen, and they give the statement of several witnesses, that the scroll or border of the number round the letter on the coat confused their sight, and was a great impediment in ascertaining the number. Sir George Grey is not aware that any better means of identification can be provided than the use of the numbers and divisional letters, but these ought to be made as distinct as possible ; and I am to desire that you will consider whether any alteration can be made in the man- ner of affixing these numbers and letters in order to afford greater facility for prompt and easy identification.— I am,'&c.; (Signed) W. MASSEY. THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A MILD BY ITS MOTHER. Yesterday Mr. Bedford, coroner for the city of West- minster, held an inquest at the Prince of Orange, Ro- chester row, on the body of Wm. G. Allen, age 1 six, wlio was found in the Thames, near Vauxhall-bridge, on Sunday last, under circumstances already fully reported in The Sun. In addition to the evidence given at the Westminster Police-court. John M&zey deposed that he met Mrs. Allen and the three children on Thursday evening, about 10 minutes past five. The mother had one child in her arms and one on each side of her. Mrs. Allen said to witni.ss, is very and went on towards the river. She spoke rationally, and seemed as usual, but he had known her three years, and she always appeared to have something on her mind. John Reynolds, Waterman, having spoken to the rescue of the two children, by him-elf and another man, said that the children might have fallen into the river from the pathway, but nit %ery easily. There were railings by the river side. They might all 11..ve gone down the steps to the water, as the gate was open, but they could not thence have floated to where he found them. Groves, 55, Thames Police, recalled—Thought tho children might have fallen through the railings, and floated to the spot where two of them were rescued. John Goddy, pierman at the Cadogan Pier, picked up a child, aged 11 months, under circumstances similar to the above. There was a post and chain along the path- way by the river side. Children c3uld get under it pur- posely, but not accidentally. The Coroner having summed up, the jury without hesitation returned a verdict of drowned, with- out evidence to show how deceased came into the Before the commencement of the inquest, it was men- tioned to the coroner that the elder of the two children rescued from a watery grave had sinne the exa , ninatton of its mother at the Westminster Police Court, on Thurs- day, been questioned by its father, in the presence of a police sergeant, as to whether it fell into the water, and that it had answered ; mother throw me in—- mother throw me As the mother was not present when the question was put to the child, the coroner de- clined to allow its answer to be put before the jury, but probably a lull statement upon this point will be made today, when Mrs. Allen will appear at the Westminster Police Court for re-examination.

Tea does not ogre' with In trequite complaint, and we cannot wonder at it, when we eoneider that it is engirded by an limey incompetent judges of the different properties of different kinds of tee.

They have ssited all their efforts to . pet it in opiration atilt freakeese sad eiseerity. The disesteems which hays takes pled os the future pi:Mikis of the Panairlities of the Damietta, as veell am os the free n arigetios of that river , famish proof of it.

They hare sot receded is this view before any semen oompatible with the bosomr and the dignity of their sore- raise, and calculated to midst', to the end which it is pro- pos. d to attain. The members of the °inhuman will render to them, it may b• 'toped, the jestiee to ackeowledge that ell their pro- smidisss have bid foe their object the reelisatioa of the 1:011116108 view, which is t/ cossolidere the position of the Emit la a smatter t, pat en cad to tin rivalries of the Great liowsts. with the mute self-denial to the see They bring this idea lath:mot the third pan% They ealy dome that in order OD 1 arrive at it, all should etteseat to abazdos the roundel peepediers, end place themselves as that of the batmen of power in Europe, white mates. the £st qpintilme la lo .king from thiseloveted poise of view es the esgoale mints which flaw from the third poles, a stilettos will easily be arrived at, ftenceseatte for all, sad offering teal gaarantossi to all the contraerieg puttee. Before all, it is necessary to =nation that that which it has bees thoset peeper to call the preened Ruses in tne BM See, Las brims the moult of the nature I and the ei hobs nate= of the potitieal relations of the two empires bordering thereon. It was • superiority of authoh- rity which Remdayzereieed ratter by the ascendancy whiff her special treaties with ht °mamas empire gave her, thee by bee maritime supremacy. It resulted from the holetiou if the Porte moots more that from its inferiority am the ems. Developed by the Maumee of eireanistances unconnected with Russia. such as the reguieration of Orem., the battle of Nevariee, the conquest of Algeria by France, the lade pendent teedeneits of the Pasha of Egypt, of the Beys of Susie sad Tripoli, which deprived the Porte of sufficiently important maritime amistaner, that inferiority was not brought on by Ramis. It had famed the object of no stipulation. It could have ceased at the will of the Porte. The topographical coolguration of the Bmphores, so fayouralte to the orgsnisatioo of en impregnable system of defence ; the possession of fortresses cud ports such as Verse, Sisepohe, Bourget, Trebisond, ho. ; the advantage of being ab.• to veep all her fortes round three contiguous baba—. AOG were, and they still are, striking advantages which the Porte possessed sad still poseesees over Russia, who, obliged to maintain aaval forces in four seas separated by immense detentes, could only give its navy in the Black Sea a restricted developmest. soterithstaading the mistrust which for twenty years pest ass been excited against Russia, the Porte shod. not maks use of its advantages, would it not be bracer, instead dseeing &danger for benell in the maritime duet-anent of Ruses, she had intuition of those which would mama ! her el sewhere, and spies% which, in time of Deed, the lora. of Russia might se • morns of defence ? Morals, es well as materially, fasts seemed to justify ' that view. People have strangely deceived themselves in he the dangers to which the Ottoman empire might lis on posed iron the Russian fleet. In affirming is his work es Southern Russia, that with bey leer, rated, it is true, at 30 vessel., Ramis could at tub oseupy Constaatiaople, Marshal Minuet has committed a double error,. on the an, head, because the Russian sae= fumes in the Black Sea can never reach that number without uniting with those of the Beltic—s, junction which is Beaman'. ; on the other, because if even so gigantic • maritime development could be effected, it would be very fsr from leading to the dangers which appear to be appre- hended. That which is now passing is the Crimea would be sufficient to prove this. The real fasts are, indeed, otherwise opposed to these hypotheses. Let us take for Matinee what permed in 1833. At that epoch toe Ramis. fleet appears in the B aphides and eff-cte a descent, but ceder what ettuditious ? It is with toe consent of the Salm, and to come to his aid. Moreover, seethes itself of all its sftipoing, the Ramie'. Seer could oily transport oat that =maim from 10,000 to 12.000 men. And it will be admitted this this fora, im- portant as an auxiliary, would have been entirely insuill• cleat if it bed presented itself as an enemy. Sines that time south has been veil of the develop- ment of the Ration navy. Notwithstanding al that has heel mid, what do we m lean after, e twenty yeater, that is to say, in 18 63? the Raman fleet taken about fifteen days for the unbarke- tins, toe transport, eel the disembarkation of a division of inleetry, that is to say, frees 18,000 to 16,000 men, from Sebastopol to Relents Kale. On taking into eonstrieratios the proximity of the 'Bul- b.. establishments of Russia, 20,000 men at most can be reckoned as the number of troops far descent which the KRUM! 'Buy of the Black Sea, is its greatest develop meet, would be in a position to transport, on any given point of the Ottoman territory, in the epees of about three weeks. Is that a very great drawer? Does it justify the spore- bessions which have been counived ? Is not • risk incurred, is endeavourag to amid it. of sacrificing to a chimerical deeper the true conditions of the smartly of the East and of the European equilibrium ? Dangers have many times meeaced the Ottoman Empire from other quarters than the north. An Admiral of the Sultan hes eves hese sees to lead hi. lest to his rebellious vases'. Who =awe= that (mu of this asters shall sot' agate occur ? Moreover the English and French fleets taken, not col- lectively b at singly, are neither less powerful nor less dangerous thee taws of Russia. Because the maritime estabas: manta of France and England are farther cif, they are not on that account more inoffensive. Europe Is few able to watch the evolutions of the fleets that have them. By mesas of the rapidity of electric eanatunisations, they could, by setting tail from Toulon and Malta at the same time that the Raines fleet should lease Sebastopol, arrive In time seflleieet to weird eff danger from the Porte. Bet who engages that they may not one day premed themselme l with the seat celerity, whether sieg.y or collectively, before the Seraglio, as enemies of the Peru? The tepidity with which the French fleet sailed towards Salamis in 1863, shows the material possibility of this on the part of Frames. Thu threats of which M. le Lavalette made see, prove its morel possibility. As regards Breland, we will limit ousel. es as mentioning the violation of the Straits is 1819, and. pretest of tempests. Where, if its Bleck See were disarmed, would be the security against such edema.? Where the counterpoise to roust their being lightly undeitaken ? Them simple refleotioce are sufficient to show that what- ever system may he adopted is revising the treaty of 1841, spirts the view of connecting the Ottoman Empire with the balance of power in Europe, the maintenance is the Black Sea of respectable naval fora s would not cote sot be of a nature ti raise serious apprehessisses e but would even be ea. of the anditioss neessary to secure, by way of counterpoise to naval forees that may happen te be in the waters of the Covent, the intact etseereaus of the stipula- tions enaeluded in the interest of the European equilibrium. And let it not be objected that this would be the satiate- stases of the aaalasa fro. and that, in eoesequente the tor peaduseee whisk Raba has exercised in the /Balk Sea would net geese to an sod. It has bees before demonstrated that that prepoielemle aims from the Isolation of Turkey • it will. ewe with the 'matey of the latter ce der the pshae lher ler . Berope. 2 he Porte would preserve sot only the faculty which she has always had of giving at will tabor envy the development which appeared to it needful, bat would acquire another moral testiest all attack on the pert of Russia, who eta surety would sot risk, for the sake of • most hezerdone undertaking, to draw on herself, by a violation of the public law of Europe, a general coalition. Moreeter, Russia would not refuse on her part to offer sew Fe tames by a revision of the Maly of 1141, if this were desired by the Sultan. The beiteestiese of Rossia aonelad-4 directly with the Porte have sever made of the Black Sea a closed sea. On tce contrary, the treaty of Adrianople has had the merit of having opeila that mato mercantile chipping of all nations wittiest denim:bon. The closing of the Straits to war flags has sot been the malt of agrcemeuts of Ram= with the Ports.

JOZEAIT'S COPAHINE, or SACCHARATED C iPSULES.—CopaIba and Cubebs are, doubtless, the best remedies, but these drugs are of a repulsive taste and odour, an'l occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric disturbance. M. JOZEATI has succeeded in rendering these valuable therapeutic agents perfectly 'nocuous, by increasing in his Copahino all their curative proper- perties. This important preparation has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Medicine, after more than 1,0011 trials In the Paris and different London hospitals, viz , St. Thomas's, Buy's, and Bar- tholomew s, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Legros Clerk. (See Lancet Nov. 6, and Dec. 10, 1852, a copy of which will be forwarded on application.) The Copahine, which is in the form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure in about six days, either in recent or chronic diseases. One hundred capsules, 4s. 6d. ; 50, 2s. 9d.—To be had of the Inventor, G. Jozeau, sole French Chemist, 49, Haymarket, London, and all the most important chemists. THE ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR FROM THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. It will be recollected that about ten weeks ago, an at- terript was made by two men to commit a burglary at the house of Mr. Hume, son of the late Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P., in Harley-street, but in doing which they were foiled, when, in descending a ladder by which they got from an adjoining house to its roof, a man named Ilarrogan fell to the ground, whose right leg was found to be fractured. He was taken to Middlesex Hospital, where ho was kept for about four weeks. He was to have been brought up to Marylebone police court, but, on the morning of the day that he was to have appeared there, he was purloined from the hospital by four men, between two and four o'clock a.m. Since then every exertion has been made by detective and other officers of the metropolitan police to retake him, who did not succeed till Wednesday afternoon, when, in consequence of information, two policemen of the C division, with Vince, D division, who was in charge of the prisoner at the hospital, went to a house in Duck- lane, Westminster, where they found him in bed. He was taken to Vine-street police-station, and from there to the Middlesex Hospital, for the opinion of the surgeons when he might be brought up for examination. EXAMINATION OF THII PRISONER. Yesterday the prisoner, whose name is Jas. Rarrogan, was brought up from Middlesex Hospital in a cab, and placed at the bar, before Mr. Long, charged with hav- ing, in conjunction with another man not in custody, broken into the house of Mr. Wm. Burnley Hume, 18, Upper Harley-street, with intent to steal and carryaway property therefrom. Jane Rudd, the under-housemaid, said—At half-past eight in the evening of the Bth September I was in my bedroom at the top of the house, and heard a noise. I went to the door to ascertain what was the cause thereof, and met a fellow -servant coming up stairs. I went into her room with her, and found that the window was thrown completely up. Mr. Hume sworn—At a quarter to nine on the even- ing, in question I was called by my butler, and on going into the serva n t s ' room I saw that the lock had been forced open. I went out and saw two men on the roof of No. 17. I called to them, and on asking them what they wanted, they ran to the roof of No. 16, where a long ladder was placed. I observed one of the men slide down the ladder, and the oth er , w h o ran down, missed his footing and fell into the street. I found him shortly afterwards in custody of a policeman. He had in the fall broken his leg. Samuel Sharpe (the butler)—l saw the prisoner come down the ladder, and heard him exclaim, I have broken my leg, take me to the I held him until a policeman came, and I then gave him in charge. Collard, 59 D—l took the prisoner into custody. The other man had made his escape. Prisoner, who limped very much, told me he had broken his leg, and after I had conveyed him to the station-house I took him to Middlesex Hospital. Upon looking into the vehicle, after he bad been received into the institution, I found a life loaded at both ends with lead, a wax taper, and a lucifer match. Vince, 259 D—On 22d October, at 12 at night, I was on duty at the hospital, having been ordered to be there to keep watch upon the prisoner. He was in bed in a ward on the ground floor. At about half-past 12 the nurse said to me, Will you have a glass of gin I did so, and laid down, and at half-past one I fell asleep. I awoke between two and three o'clock and found, to my great surprise, that the prisoner had made his escape. Mr. Long (to Inspector Jackson)--Is this witness still in the force ? Inspector--Yes sir ; he has not been dismissed, but has been suspended from the period of the occurrence. The witness Vince added—l heard that the prisoner had been carried out. Search was made everywhere about the place for him, but he could nowhere be met with. It was ascertained that a lock had been taken off a door leading into a mews by the side of the hospital, and through that door the prisoner had undoubtedly been removed away. Sergeant Knight, 19 D, produced three picklock keys, which he picked up at the corner of Devonshire-street and Upper Harley-street, on the evening of the house being broken into. Siivester, 323 A, said—l, accompanied by Joy, 187, and Cole, 157 C, went yesterday to a house in Duck-lane, Westminster, and in the first floor front room found the prisoner lying on a bed. I told him he must consider him- self in custody for breaking into Mr. Hume's house, and escapieg from the hopsital on the 22d, when he said he hoped I would not ill-use him, and tbat he would go quietly. I took him in a cab to the Vine-street station- house, where he was seen by the divisional surgeon, by whose direction he was again taken to the hospital. Inspector Jackson said, by direction of Mr. Hughes, the superintendent, he brought the prisoner up to the court, and that on he (witness) giving :him to under- stand what he was charged with, the only observation he made was, have sent for my solicitor ; will the case be gone through to-day The prisoner, who had now nothing to say in answer to the charge, was sent in a cab to the House of Deten- tion ; he will be brought up again on Thursday next. A strict investigation is going on with regard to the meal': and agency through which the prisoner's egress fro m the hospital was effected. --- We announced a few weeks since the death of the Wells Express, and we have now to include in our news- paper obituary the name of the .Wells Advertiser. It was an offshoot of Charles Knight's Town and Country NCIPPaPer,

In reply, I have to state that in the opinion of the Board the dividends alluded to should be exempted from the tax, when it shall be satisfactorily proved that they belong to foreigners residing abroad. an arrangement, sanctioned by the Board, it is the practice of agents intrusted with the payment of foreign dividends not to charge the tax in such cases, but to pay the dividends ag full, on proof of the necessary particulars by a declaration. I enclose a form of this declaration, and I am to add that the like course should be pursued in regard to the Turkish dividends when the Bank shall be satisfied of the truth of the claims.

The panic that they at the outset occasioned was such that the people fled from the country, and there still continues much difficulty in getting the pre- servers of order to withstand or secure the insur- gents. The insurrection has long lost its character as a civil war, and at present continues simply as a nuisance, mainly alarming from the difficulty of getting it finally extinguished. Serious disturb- ances continue every now and then to break out in the Nizam's dominions. Information having been received that a party of Rohilla robbers were plundering the country to the north of Hyderabad, a force consisting of 250 men of the Nizarn's cavalry, under Capt. Doria, a wing of the 4th Nizam's In- fantry, and a coupl e of awitzers, started on the 6th of September against the enemy. They reached Nandaiar on the morning of the Bth, but experi- enced much difficulty in getting across the river then in flood. They reached Sulghurra on the evening of the 9th, after a march of 30 miles. Here they learned that the Rohillas were ignorant of their movements, and it was hoped to take them by surprise. A further march of 40 miles, on which they were compelled to leave their howitzers behind, brought them to Bander Koontah by day- break on the 12th. The Rohillas were now only a mile a head, and the infantry, under Capt. Daniel, with a few cavalry, under Lieut. Biden, dashed on and took the enemy wholly unawares. A few of them showed fight, and 10 or 12 were cut down ; 136 were taken prisoners, of whom 25 were found wounded. They had hardly well secured their cap- tives and concentrated their force, when they heard of another body of Rohollas having established themselves at Lingi, a couple of miles off. Thither- ward the infantry, with a few troopers, started in the afternoon. As they approached the village the enemy made their escape and no traces of them could for a time be discovered, till a man found in hiding undertook to show. where they were, and they were soon afterwards seen skulking in a ravine close by. It was now dark, and the bulk of them made their escape-17 were taken prisoners. On their return to camp, another party was found in hiding ; of these seven were captured. The extrordinary rapidity with which this most successful expedition was conducted is worthy of mention. Their second march was thirty miles in length ; in their third they covered forty miles in thirty hours, over a country partly of black cotton soil, softened by showers, and partly covered with loose jagged stones. The country after this seems to have been quiet for a time ; that it should con- tinuo so for a month on end would be contrary to all precedent. Religious disturbances have once more made their appearance in Oade, and they are not likely on this occasion to be so easily disposed of as for- merly. In February last, a Hindoo renegade, who had become Mahomedan, spread about a statement that the Hindoos had defiled and dultroyed a temple in Hunnoomanghurree. Contriving to col- lect a considerable force, he proeeeded thitherward, and established his head-quarters in the neigh- bourhood ; a violent, conflict ensued, in which the Hindoos proved victorious ; some seventy or eighty of the Mahomedans cut their way through and found refuge in one of their own temples near by. The Hindoos, in a state of the most violent excitement, now attacked the temple, and, after repeated repulses with h eav y l oss o f life, succeeded in capturing it, and putting the whole of their enemies to the sword. This was but the com- mencement of the strife, and both parties are now so violently inflamed that it is impossible to foresee the result. The Punjaub frontier continues as usual disturbed. Parties of robbers every now and then descend from their glens and attack our villages, and so continua to pester us, till we are from time to time compelled to exact from them a heavy retri- bution. The policy brought into existence by Sir George Arthur, in 1844, of stopping the promotion of civilians encumbered with debt, is now being rigidly enforced by Government, with promise of infinite advantage to the country. Were the order made absolute and universal, and young men on their arrival in India made aware that from the moment they became in debt their promotion would cease, the benefit resulting to the parties them- selves would be indescribable. The Bombay gov ernmen t have been indefatiga- ble in their ende avours t o mitigate or provide against the scarcity o f wa t er apprehended in the beginning of next year, in consequence of the ex- treme scantiness of the monsoon. A committe3, consisting of Dr. Carter, Dr. Leith, Dr. Buist, Mr. Aher, Major Crawf or d, and Mr. Berkley , have been appointed to examine the geological structure of the hills, constituting the projected reservoir in Salsette, suspicions having arisen that these may be traversed by stratifi e d roc k s p e rmeable to water. Singularly enough this matter seems to have been overlooked, and though we have been nearly ten years employed in examininc , the other condit ions of the Vehar hills, th e most i m p o rtant of them all appears to have been neglected.—The first cotton spinning factory e s t a bli s h e d i n Western India com- menced its operations at Broach on the Bth of October, no more than ten months having been occupied from their commencement to their com- pletion in constrncting the works. The enterprise, which owes its origin exclusively to Mr. Landon, is one of the greatest promise, and if s uccessful will be the source of countless benefits to the country. The weather of late has been showery and threat- ening, indicating showers on the other side of India. The Governor-General is stil on the Neilgherries. Lord Harris and General Anson are about to return to Madras after a shortvisit to the hills. Lord E . Iphin- stone continues to remain at the Presidency, Sir Henry Somerset and the Bishop being at Ma- hawbleshwar, the latter is about to proceed on an episcopal tour to Scinde, but whether he will go further than Kurrachee is still an open question. Sir Lawrence Peel being about to retire from his seat on the bench at Calcutta, Sir Chas. Jackson has been removed from Bombay to fill the vacancy occasioned by the promotion of Sir James Colville to succeed Sir Lawrence Peel as Chief Justice. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 6. The steamers from Bombay and Calcutta arrived at Suez on the 3d inst., and the mails and pas• sengers proceed this clay to Southampton and Malta by the Indus and the Valetta. The Austrian steamer, direct from Trieste, due here on the Ist, had to take shelter from bad weather in a port on the Adriatic, and arrived here only yesterday even- ing, and some 15 passengers, who intended to pro- ceed to India from Suez by the presentmail, pushed on at once for Suez, although they have but a slight chance of catching the steamer there. The French steamer due here from Marseilles on the Ist has not yet made her appearance. Said Pasha, the Viceroy, in the beginning of last week brought down to Alexandria, from the inte- rior, a great number of troops and three days after- wards started with them for the Nile, taking back infantry, cavalry, and horse artillery. The town of Alexandria is occasionally full of soldiers, and suddenly they disappear, as if the Viceroy's object was to keep them constantly on the move. His Highness is just now on the site of the Barrage in- specting the building of thefortifications of the new town, to be called after himself, Saidieb t of which he laid the foundation last spring. Meanwhile the governors of the provinces are taking every advantage of the administration of affairs, and plunder and tyrannise over the natives as much as they can. The Governor of Suez in particular is acting with more boldness on account of the dis- tance at which he is from the Pasha, and for his own benefit taxes the inhabitants of the town and the pilgrims to and from Mecca to an enormous extent. Said Pasha is still waging war with the Bedouins of the desert, and recently, having induced a num- ber of them to give themselves up with the delu- sion of reconcialition, they were all put to death. It is very bad policy on the part of the Viceroy not to be on amicable terms with the Bedouin tribes, who occupy the desert all round Egpyt, for they have it in their power to do much injury to the inhabitants of the cultivated lands by sudden fo- rays, and then withdraw into their native deserts, where they are quite beyond the reach of the army. If the Bedouins find that the Pasha is deter- mined upon keeping on bad terms with them, the transit will not be'io secure as it has been, for there is nothing to prevent them plundering the station- houses in the desert, or attacking travellers be- tween Cairo and Suez, and some robberies have already been committed on that road. Some workmen who are boring for M. de Les- seps on the line which he proposes to take for his Suez Canal scheme have come upon hard rock, which quite nullifies the estimates put forth by him in his pamphlet on the subject, in which he assumes that the canal will be dug entirely out of sand or light soil. Ancient history informs us that in the year 610 before Christ a canal to connect the Medi- terranean and Red Seas was commenced and aban- doned in 12 mouths, after a loss of 120,000 men. Mr. Pasquale, the projector of the Bank of Egypt, with English shareholders, has failed to ob- tain from the Viceroy for his bank any exclu- sive privileges. In answer to his application, Said Pasha informed him, through his secretary, that the trade of Egypt was perfectly free ; that be had no objection to the formation of the bank, and that it might benefit the trade of the country ; but his Highness seems to have taken care not to compro- mise himself in any way, or to pledge himself to give to the bank any assistance or support. An agent of the Crimea Land Transport Corps has been hero since September, engaging natives for work at the seat of war. He has enlisted some 500 or 600 men ; they are daily fed and lodged at no small cost to the British Government. They do nothing ; no steamer comes to carry them off, and it is anticipated that when the time comes for them to embark, a large proportion of them will disappear. The last steamer from Beyrout brought news that Lady Emmeline Wortley was very ill there, and not expected to live. She and her daughter have been travelling in Syria during the hottest summer months ; their maid died of a coup de soleil ; two or three different servants and couriers were obliged to leave their service from their in- ability to stand the fatigues of travelling in the hot season Cthe daughter had a coup de soleil, and Lady Emily, after having dislocated her leg at Jerusalem, had suffered from intermittant fever, and was dying of dysentery. Some cases of cholera have occurred among the shipping in the harbour, though the town is quite free from the disease. Prices of produce keep up very high. Exchange on London has gone up to 93 piastres per pound sterling, in consequence of large impor- tations of specie. TILE HOLY WAR IN OUDE. (From, the Della Gazette.) Seven or eight months ago one Shah Gholam Hussein, a dissolute vagabond, formerly a Hindoo, but like many others at Lucknow, a pervert to Islam, with that fierce rancour which animates renegades, published through- out Lucknow and the principal Mabommedan towns and villages of Oude, that the Hindoos had lately de- stroyed and defiled a Musjid, which until recently had existed in Hunooman G-Ouree. This monstrous fable was eagerly believed ; hundreds came forward to wipe out this dire insult to Islam, and Shah Gholam Hussein, cleverly takin g a d van t a ge of the credulity of his dupes, proclaimed his mission. He was empowered to raise the sten lard of Islam, had been encouraged in visions ; he had been honoured by divine revelation, and now boldly proclaimed a crusade against the infidel. Col- lecting a very large force of bigoted and well-armed fol. lowers, he placed himself at their head and marched on Hunooman Ghuree. Selecting a Mujid not far from the sacred shrines of the Hindoos, the Shah and his fa- natics made it their head-quarters, and prepared for vic- tory or death. Those who were on the spot and in authority made use of every argument to deter them from their insane object. Everything that was prac- ticable was urged to dissaude them, but in vain. Teey had resolved to win or die, and calmly replied, have dug our After reciting the noon- day prayers, and pronouncing one and all the and exhorting each other to win paradise by slaughtering the infidels— the Mahomedans sallied out, and invoking God and His Prophet, opened fire on the defenders of the Hunooman Ghuree. But the priests had been neither inactive, nor indifferent to what had been threat- ening for some time. They were fully prepared. In an instant, from house, shop, temple, tenement, and gardens,—Rajpoots, Chatrees, Rajkoornars, in hundreds poured fourth in defence of their priests and time-ho- noured shrines. A desperate hand to hand combat en• sued ; the numbers and bravery of the Hindoos soon turned the scale ; outnumbered, overpowered, attacked on all sides, the Mahomedans gave way, were routed, pursued, and put to the sword. Some 70 or 80, however, cut their way through, ncade good their retreat, and regained the Musjid. Protected by massive walls and well armed, they imagined them- selves safe, their position impregnable. But a terrible fate awaited them. The passions of the Hindoos had now been thoroughly aroused, blood had been profusely shed ; nothing but the lives of their foes could appease their thirst of vengeance. The Hindoos swarmed like bees round the Musjid, but at a distance a brief consultation was held. It was re- solved to storm the 11Tusjid at all risks, and to destroy their assailants. A band of priests and Jogees, with matted locks and begrimed from head to foot with dust and ashes, stepped forward to lead the assault, swords in band. But the Chatrees and Rajkoomars waved them back, declaring that the work before them was not such as holy men should engage in, and they were forced to retire. A dense column now advanced straight upon the gate of the Musjid. With one tremendous yell of Bum Maha- deo ! the Ilindoos, sword in hand, dashed at the Musjid, and nearly gamed the walls, when a smashing volley, poured in at ten paces distance, destroyed the leading ranks, staggered the column and drove it back in con- fusion. Again reforming their shattered ranks and en- couraging each other by voice and gesture, the Rajpoots rushed at the gate, but again were received by a well- directed and galling fire, and a second time were driven back, broken, routed, and in terrible confusion. As each Hindoo fell his body was instantly passed from man to man to the rear, and at once consigned to the river. Some few minutes BOW elapsed ; a brief consultation was held, and for the third time with terrible cries and frantic gestures, the Rajpoots stormed the Musjid, were met by a crushing fire, but succeeded in gaining the %ails and forcing the gate. No quarter was asked for, cr given ; on all sides the clash of steel, the ringing shouts of the combatants, and the shrill screams of the multi- tude outside resounded, blood ran ancle deep in the Musjid ; and in a few moments every one of the Moham- medans was put to the sword. Thus terminated the ill-starred expedition of Shah_ Gholam Hussein. The author, at the commencemento the fray, threw away his garments, a nd his divine 1 mis- sion, and trusting to his heels rathe r than toh d is re . v a. tion, nimbly made his escape, and disappeare ----- THE MURDER NEAR SIIOTLEY-BRIDGE.—A reward of 3001., of which the Government pays 1001:, has been offered for the apprehension of the murderer of Mr. Stirling, surgeon, who was shoton, robbed and murdered, in the open day, a short distance from Gibside-park, in the county of Durham, this day fort- night.

(From the Times' City Article of this day.) The particulars of the new loan were made known at the Treasbry yesterday morning, according to appointment. The amount to be raised is 16,00,00 C/. sterling, for which the Government are to givel6,ooo,oon. Consols, and the balance (that is to say, the difference between the vane of DN. stock and 1001. in money) in annuities terminable in 30 years. The biddings are to take place on Friday, and the method will be for each applicant to specify the amount of annu ty he will-be content to receive in addition to 1001. Consols for every 1001. of money subscribed. Assuming the value of Consols to be estimated at about 86, the 16,000,t 001. of that stock will be worth b u e t 14 created,lo 0 must ,OO, a t n h d er t e h fo e z a b lu e value 1:1 1 - 7 00 te o r l. minable an- nuitiesA deposit of 10 per cent. is to be payable on Monday, the 24th, and there are to be eight subsequent monthly instal- ments,—six of 101. each, and two of 151. On the payment of each instalment a proportionate amount of Consols will be delivered, but none wil be delivered for the deposit until the completion of the last instalment, when the terminable an- nuity will els., be created. The reception of this plan on the Sto , k-Exchange and 'in the city generally has not been unfavourable. It is• do .si- d!nvd, however, that such of the London firms as may be willing to tender will assume in their calculations the neces- sity- of a very considerahle margin to guard against the con- tingenCes of the war, especially under the dispiriting effect lately produced by the inactivity of the skied armies before Sebastopol.

In the course of the afternoon the following notice was issued by Messrs. Rothschild : LOAN OF 16,000,' V/. FOR THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons beg to announce to the public that - they are ready to receive applications from parties desirous of participating in the forthcoming loan of 16,000,000/ A and will receive the same until Thursday next at 2 o'clockf It is necessary that every application should be accom- panied with a (I.:posit of 10 per vent. on the amount applied for. _ _ . If the whole amount applied for be not allotted, the prop rtion of the deposit will be returned forthwith. New-court, St. Swithin's-lane, April (From the Daily News' City Article of this day.) The absorbing topic of interest in the City to-day was of course the Government loan. We give in another column the conditions fixed by the Treasury, together with an abstract of the proceedings at the important meeting of capitalists at the Treasury Chambers this day. The total amount of the proposed loan is. 16,0011,000/. in cash, to be raised by an issue of 16,000,0001. in Consols at par. Inasmuch, however, as Consols are Low at .9 . 4 per cent. discount in the market (from which discount, however, must be dedgcted the three months' dividend now accrued, being equal to, say, per cent.), capitalists contracting for the loan are to receive a certain amount in annuities expiring thirty years hence. In these annuities the bidlings are to, be made, and in fixing a price in his tender the capitalist will of course make allow- ance for the excess over the niarket price which he gives to Government for this new creation of consols, and he will also reserve a certain margin, which he may deem calculated to afford him a profit on the transaction, and to secure him against the chances of loss attendant upon the uncertain con- ditiou of politics: Per contra, the ease of the money market will influence the terms of the contractor in a sense favourable to the Treasury and to the State. ' So far as regards the nego- tiation between the contractor. and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the relations between the contractor and the monied public di , posed to invest in the proposed new issue of Government securities come next for consideration. Of the great capitalists only one firm, that of Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sous, has yet intimated an intention to open lists to the public. The notice issued by this firm this after- noon is appended : Loan of Sixteen Millions to the British Government.— Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons beg to announce to the public, that they arc ready to receive applications from par- ties desirous of participating in the forthcoming loan of six- teen millions, and will receive the same until Thursday next at two o'clock. It is necessary that every application should be accompanied with a deposit of 10 per cent on the amount applied. If the whole amount applied for be not al otted, the proportion of the'deposit will be returned forthwith. New court, St. Swithin's-lane, April 16, It will be noticed that the price at which he may be dis- posed to tender is left to each individual applicant, it being pr6sumed that the bona fides of the application will be en- sured, and the proffering of inordinately low terms discou- raged, by the obligation of making a deposit of ten per cent. on the amount applied for. It may be pointed out that the Messrs. Rothschild, of any other great firm that may be dis- Po . ed to step forward and contract, will act as an inter- mediate agent thyeugli whom the mass of individual ap- plications will be received. By deciding that the co -tractor must contract for the whole, and not for any less portion of the loan, the Chancellor of the Exchequer virtually leaves the contract open for competition to not more than two or three firms in the contracting firm, again, must ascertain what support the public are likely to give to the project before they commit themselves to a .contract with the state. In this point of view the scheme lacks the element of popularity. An appre- hension is alSo entertained in some quarters that the interval allowed is scarcely tufficient for the public to fully digest the terms of the loan, the complexity of which, without lull ex- lilanatio.), may toud to discourage applicants. The entire loan, it will be seen, is to be paid up this year, the last in- stalment on the 18th December, and no discount is to be allowed for prompt payment of the iustaltnents. The Chan- cellor of the Exchequer further pledged himself not to make any further sales of Savings Bank Stock (except to meet the withdrawal of depositors) until the loan shall have been paid up. 11.41iKET W,s—tTillb DAY.)

IN RE HENRY OPPE'SHEI3I. This; was a meeting for last exami.. ation. The bank- rupt re:eded at Harbour-place, Ramsgate, carrying on business a s a ship chandler, custom house agent, &c. Mr. Du ncan opposed, and Mr. Buchanan supported the bankrni. 4. The balan, ce-sheet extended from March, 1354, to May, 1855. His creditors unsecured were stated at 1.904/., and his profits at 573/. His good debts were 73/., doubtful ant; bad 11., property less creditors in full 4541., excepted an idles 201., trade expenses 4081., in- terest and banker's co mmission 431., law costs 31., repairs 221., domestic and personal expenses 3771., losses 9801., deficiency at commencement 1001. Mr. Duncan opposed the bankrupt on several grounds. One was that he had omitted to enter in his balance- sheet a debt of 251., goods supplied on sale or return. Until that had been amended and other matters ex- plained, the bankrupt milt not to pass his last exami- nation. Mr. Buchanan contended the omission complained of was not material, being an error easily remedied. His Honour considered the omission complained of fatal to the bankrupt passing his last examination to- day, and accordingly adjourned it to allow of the balance-sheet being amended. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-(T1L1,5 ___. DAY). OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Erle.) Rebecca Turton, a middle-aged woman, was indicted for the wilful murder of her husband, Thomas Turton, by strangling him. The learned counsel for the prosecution said that the circumstances of the case were rather of an extraordi- nary character, the offence imputed to the prisoner hav- ing been committed so far back as April, 1854, and he said that the delay had been occasioned by the circum- stance that the prisoner immediately after the act had been committed was in a state of decided insanity, and was confined for nearly 12 months in a lunatic asylum. She was now, however, sufficiently recovered to enable her to take her trial, and the jury would have to say by their verdict whether the evidence that he should lay before them was sufficient to justify them in coming to the conclusion that the prisoner was guilty of the serious crime imputed to her by the present indictment. He then proceeded to state the facts of the case, and it appeared that the deceased was a labouring man, and he and the prisoner occupied two rooms in a house in Richard-street, Bromley. It appeared that about 9 o'clock at night, on the 21st of April, the deceased came home partially intoxicated and went to bed, no one, of course, but the prisoner being with him, and between 1 and 2 o'clock on the following morning the prisoner gave an alarm and said that her husband was dead, and upon the landlord of the house going into the bed-room the deceased was found lying upois the bed, and there was a cord mark round his neck, as though some ligature had been tied tightly around it and the death of the deceased was evidently the result of strangulation. Upon a search being made in the room, one of the braces worn by the deceased was found, and when this was compared with the mark upon the neck of the deceased, it corresponded exactly, and the buckle, in particular, seemed to have been the cause of an abrasure that was manifest upon the neck, under the left ear. The prisoner, who appeared in a very excited state, was taken into custody, and on the following morning she asked the female searcher to allow herto pray, and she knelt down, and then said it was a very bad job, and she afterwards exclaimed What will the devil not tempt any one to do when they are in a passion She subsequently said, Poor Tom is dead, and I did The surgeons who were examined expressed their opi- nion that the deceased had been strangled suddenly in his sleep, and that he was unable to offer any resistance, and there appeared to be no doubt that the prisoner's was the hand that inflicted the violence. It appeared, however, that she bad for some days before the fatal occurrence behaved in the most extraordinary manner, and on the night of the 20th April she had taken a policeman into her husband's room, telling him that he bad poisoned himself with arsenic ; but it ap- peared that he was perfectly well at that time and when the policeman told him what his wife had said he said that there was no foundation for her statement, and he added that he did not know what to do with his wife, and he thought she was going mad. It also appeared that the prisoner bad called out to a po- liceman from her bedroom window, and asked him if he was the devil, and also said that she could see the cats scratching dead bodies out of their graves. It was like- wise proved that when the prisoner was committed to Newgate in May last to take her trial for this offence she was insane, and not in a condition to plead, and it appeared that she was removed to Bedlam, and subse- quently to a private asylum. The learned Judge, at the close of the evidence of Mr. M'Murdo, expressed his o pinion that it was unnecessary to proceed any further with the inquiry, as he did not think the jury could entertain any doubt that at the time the offence was committed the prisoner was insane. The jury said they were of opinion that this was the fact, and they at once acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity, NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) John CoNog and Joltn Clarke, two respectable•looking young men, were indicted for stealing a fishing-rod, valued at 145., the property of Frederick Nicholson. Mr, Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. W. Cooper de- fended. It appeared that upon the 18th of July the prosecutor, e aotferwas missed it.

By the arrival of the overland mail we have re- ceived our private correspondence and 'journals from Calcutta to March 24; Bombay, April 3 ; and Hongkong, March 15. 7th ult. His lordship was far from well, and the journey from Calicut had to be performed by easy stages. Active preparations are making for the extension of the electric 4elegraph from Bangalore to Ootacamund. - • Trade is in a very depressed state, and money increasingly scarce. The new Five per Cent.-Loan is filling but slowiy, only two out of the 50 lacs allotted to Bombay- having as yet been paid into the Government treasury, while three weeks out of the prescribed two months within which it was to close have expired. CHINA 11014'GKONG, MARcll 15 • The English mails of December 25 and January 9 were received on the 2d inst., and the first steamer from Shanghai under the new mail contracts ar- rived yesterday.. The 25th of November mail only reached us on the 20th ult., the steamer Shanghai having put into Manilla for coals. Our last 'was dated the 15th ult., since wbell, we have to report a considerable change in political !affairs in this country. !DEFEAT OF THE REBELS AT CANTON,— : SUA.NGIIAI RETAKEN BY THE IMPE- ' RIALISTS,ANDFRIGHTFULSLA.UGHTER. From Shanghai our advices are to the 9th inst. The city was retaken by the Imperialists on the night of the 17th ult. (Chinese New 'Year's-day). They set fire to it at various points, and a large portion of it was burnt. The rebels were killed or dispersed, and the people are rebuilding in their old quarters. The foreigners who were in the rebel service made their escape to Woosung on the day preceding the attack, and treachery on the part of 'rthe Canton men admitted the linperial troops. Lew, the rebel chief ; has been beheaded, •but Chin-a-ling has escaped. Less bloodshed than was anticipated took place, and the Imperial general, showed great forbearance and humanity towards the people. There was a large supply of powders &c., in the'city, but scarcely any food, and those who were not fighting men were reduced to the greatest straits. The capture of the city has given universal satis- faction. The marines of the French frigate- La. Jeanne d'Arc assisted in keeping order and pre- venting robbery. The troops which were encamped around Shanghai have been sent with all speed to operate against Nankin - and Chin-kiatig, where the rebels are said to be losing ground, but we have no authentic intelligence to rely on. Her Majesty's Consul at Shanghai, by order of his Excellency Sir John Bowring, returned the bonds for duties given between the 7th of September, 1853, and the 9th February, 1854. • The United St a t es ' s t ea mer Powbattan arrived at Shanghai on the 2d inst., with intelliaenCe from Japan to the 22d ult. The United Stales' treaty was ratified on the 21st. The island of Niphon was visited on the 23d of December with a most severe earthquake, whereby the towns of Ohosaca and Simoda were destroyed, and Jeddo much injured. The Russian frigate Diana, which was at Japan with Admiral Pontiatin, on a diplomatic mission, was totally wrecked, but all hands saved. At Canton the Imperialists have gained a com plete victory over a large rebel fleet, and the river traffic is again open to native craft, and large sup- plies of the necessaries of life are thus conveyed to the Canton market. Previously great distress was felt by the poorer classes,, prices being ruinously high. The insurgents have been driven from their head-quarters near Whampoa, the greater part of their fleet taken or destroyed, the town of Sanchow burnt, and Blenheim Fort recaptured. This took place on the 7th inst., the Mandarins having been strengthened by the adherence of many influential villages, whose acted on shore and , -a.ve no quarter to the reb e l s w h o f e ll i n t o th e i r hands..' This success, if promptly and energetically followed up, may be productive of, much ultimate good ; but it must be remembered that, although this one body of rebels has been destroyed, there are many other bands which must be subdued ere trade can be re-established on any secure basis. As yet there is no improvement. The rebel chiefs have escaped with a portion of their fleet, and will doubtless go to increase the number of pirates who swarm at the entrance and on the river. Her Majesty's ship Comus remains at Canton, and the Spartan, at Whampoa. The business in imports and exports at Canton has been very limited. Freights nominal, at 5/. ss. At Shanghai the demand for imp,,rts had been stick, but improvement was looked for. The pur- chases o f tea h a d been to a fair extent. Silk was slightly cheaper. Freights 4/. At Foochow and Anioy there has been nothing of importance to notice. The vessels Tom Bowline (British) and the, Living Age (American) have been wrecked on the Pratas Shoal ; both vessels tea laden, the former bound from . Foochow for London, the latter from Shanghai for New York. The captains and crews have reached this, with the exception of the second officer and two men of the Torn Bowline, who were lost. His Excellency Sir John Bowring, accompanied by Messrs. H. S. Parker, G. W. Caine, and J. C. Bowring, left for Siam in her• Majesty's steamer Rattler on the 12th instant. Her Majesty's brig Grecian accompanies the Rattler. His Excellency Sir James Stirling is at present here, but it is stated that he leaves in her Majes- ty's ship Winchester, for Japan, at the end of this Month, to. ratify' the treaty previously entered into. Her Majesty's ship Sybil arrived from Singa- pore on the 4th, and her Majesty's steamer Hornet yesterday. The former we hear is to join the Pa- cific squadron, and also her Majesty's steamer Bar- racouta, which left this for Shanghai on the 12th inst. His Imperial French Majesty's ship Sybille, 52, arrived here on the sth inst. ; 100 of her crew have been lost from dysentery. Our latest dates are, from England, January 9 ; Calcutta, February 20 ; Bombay, February 2 ; Singapore, March 2 ; Manill a , M arc h 9 ; Syd ne y, January 14 ; Shanghai, March 9.

REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS FROM MARCH 10 TO APRIL 1. The English mail, with dates to the 25th of Feb., reached on the morning of Sunday, the 25th. In our last we noticed the opening of a Five per Cent. Loan by Government, but we were unable to state th e terms g en which it was opened. Th ese h ave now reac h e d us , and, with the exception that this is styled P u bli c Works an there appears to be nothing different in this loan from that paid off last year. The subject has been much discussed during the fortnight, and we ob- serve that at the other presidencies as well as here the opinion finds very general acceptance that from some unknown cause the Government of India must be em- barrassed in their finances, and that the loan is the re- sult of this emergency. Money continues in improved demand, and we do not look for an easier market for some time. Government securities and joint-stock shares are in little request, and our quotations generally show lower figures. In the general position of our inport market there is little to be remarked since our last circular ; the de- pression we then had occasion to notice has in no way been alleviated ; on the contrary, the dealers have shown less desire to emtead their liabilities, consequently the market has been very dull, and prices of cotton fabrics we quote . q l u 4 ot a e . 2 t r e . 1 4r 2 . a. ; 71b. 56 ; w hi le in have further retrograded, the very f avourable rate of exchange on London being the ind ucement to press sales, but without leading to any extent of business. Gray skirtings 40 yards 38-inch are v ery heavy to move, and most descriptions are again e as i er i t i price, about reed,2a. per 3 r. p s i piece ; e ; 45-inch the re i s l ess a l tera tio n i n value, 91b. and up- wards being in moderate request at f ormer quotation, 8 6 1 b. ib. 60 52 ree reed l at but lighter qualities are dell. Freight—To Great Britain had a very dull appearance at one time, and little was shipping at 3/. 10s. per ton of 50 feet, but as produce is in greater quantity now, and tonnage moderate, rates of freight have a hardening tendency. Seeds are shipping at 3/. 17s. 6d. ; oil, 41. 17s. 6d. to 51. per ton of 210 Imperial gallons. I t;) Exchange—Since our last we have to report a fur- ther advance in the rate on England, and the business done may be quoted 2s. 181. to 2s. lid. for credits, and 24. lad. to 2s. I'd. for documents, with a limited busi- ness doing •• this afternoon, however, the tendency of the rate is 'downwards, bank and credit bills being sight, at 2s. 14d. On Ca'cutta we e now quote par at sight, and rupees 98i at 60 days' sight. On Madras rupees 98 at eight. On China rupees 214 sight. at 60 days' THE CALCUTTA MARKET. (From fhe Englishman.) THURSDAY, March 22.—The Oriental is at hand, but her letters will be delivered too late to affect our markets for this mail ; by electric telegrap from Bombay we have Lond on news to the 9th of Febrh uary, Which se ems to hold out s till l ess hopes of peace than before c existed but uncertainty i s the pervading feeling, and conse- quently matters have not improved. The state of the money-market, as well as an advance i n both . freight and exchange, bay kept' all produce operations upon a very low scale ; the total of onr ex- ports, in money value, is fast AOW tha t bulk of the indigo has been shipped. Rice, seeds, and jute do not amount to much, and our cargoes are now mainly composed of these articles. The hopes w e indulged in at the date of our last as to more active business in piece goods have not been rea- lized.; at first some little distrust with regard to one or two extensive dealers and the occurrence of native holy- days disturbed business ; and in the following week the complete upset the money-market sustained paralyzed all operations, for, as no one'could- tell who might be affected, current orders were placed in abeyance, arri literally everything stands still ; holden, desirous of re- mitting to their constituent; are pledging goods (in the bonded warehouse) to the banks fir bills on Landon, paying interest at 12 per cent. per annum and a com- mission besides ; bow these goods can ever bear the bur- den remains to be seen ; but , the course, after all, is pro- bably the best the parties can follow under so perfect a state of stagnation. Exchange—At the close of our last the tendency ap- peared rather to be downward, but the rates for this mail, owing to the extreme tigbtness of the money- market keeping buyers back, opened rather higher, and those requiring to draW were obliged to do so at ad- vanced rates. Credits were early done at 2s. 11d., and document bills at 2s. 10. The Oriental. Bank drew at six months' sight at 28.1 d. We hear that parties who con- sidered this rise as merely temporary took a !oan on de- posit of their credit bills with a bank, at 12 per cent. inte- rest and a commission on the transaction. It is SA difficult to get in money from the piece goods men that there are few buyers in the market, and the banks consequently, have it all their own way ; we believe the bulk of the transactions for this mail have been at 2s. 11d. to lid. for credits and 2s. 11d. to lid. for document bills at six months' sight, although at closing the rates .may be a trifle . dearer. Treasury and Bank Post Bills are quoted at 2s. Ad. to 2s. 4d. On China the rate is 212 r. per 100 ~.- Y reighta.,—The rise. which -wit advised in•our commencing continued during the following week, and the telegraph from Bombay reporting rice as up to 18s. created an immense demand for tonnage, which for a day or two. forced rates up probably, equal. to 11. per ton on some articles, but the value of money told against business, and rates declined again ; and at clos- ing we think scarcely so firm. We quote for Len- don—Sugar, 41. 10s. to 4/. 15s. ; saltpetre, nominal ; rice, 51. to 51. 2s. 6d. ; seeds, 61. to 61. ss. ; jute, 41. to 4/. 4s. ; hides, Si. ss, ;, silk and indigo, 61. ; other goods in like proportion. For Liverpdol :—Rice, 4/. 155.,.; jute, 41. ; seeds, 61. ; other goods nominal. For Mau- ritius, 20r. per bag. CANTON COTTON MARKET. HONGKONG, Milieu 15. On business being resumed after the China new year (the 17th ult.) there was , a better disposition evinced among dealers to make purchases, but the transactions in imports for the past month have still been on a very limited scale. The late success of the Imperialists near Canton we trust will have a beneficial effect for trade. Cotton—No sales reported ; stock about 67,000 bales. Cotton Yarn-40 bales Nos. 28-32 sold at 28i dole. Shirtings—The sales have been about 12,000 pieces. Greys, 1 75 dole, to 225 dole ; whites, 1 95 dofs. to 2 60 dole.

Rice bad been as high as 2 80 dols. to 3 60 dole., but has given way to 2 40 dole, to 3 20 dole. Turkey opium 485 dole. Tea—The transactions have been very trivial, com- prised , of three chops of Oonam congou at 19 taels to 22/ taels. Two vessels on the berth for England are filling up s:owly. From Foochow two vessels had been despatched, and one was loaded ready to leave. Export from Canton from July 1, 1854, to lb.

MILITIA. The Edinburgh County Militia, now styled the Queen's was, on Wednesday last, paraded at Dalkeith for volunteering, when upwards of 90 men fell out, upwards of 80 of whom have passed and been attested for the Scots Greys, the 25th Foot, and the 72d Highlanders. This regiment has already contributed 275 volunteers to the line, and yet presents a very respectable appearance. About 60 recruits 'have been received within the la , t fortnight. The deputation of the inhabitants of Dalkeith who went to London to complain of the regiment being billetted on the town have received the promise of the War-office that they will be removed forthwith to Edinburgh Castle. The 2d Royal Lanark Militia was inspected a few days ago by Major-General Lord Melville, who expressed himself highly satisfied with the state in which he found the regiment. In the evening the officers gave a grand hall, at which were present—the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, the Duke of Athol, Lord Melville, &c. On Friday the second volunteerinc , took place, when about 150 men stepped out of the ranks, and 92 were enlisted, making upwards of 180 given since July, of whom more than three-fourths are for the 92d and 72d. This regi- ment has now enlisted more than 1,030 men. The buts on Lanark-moor cannot be ready till May, in consequence of the lateness of the season. A detach- ment is expected to go to Airdrie. WAREHOUSEMEN AND CLERKS' SCHOOLS -ANNUAL DINNER. The annual dinner in aid of the funds of this valuable charity took place yesterday evening at the London Tavern, under the presidency of Lord John Russell, and was most numerously attended. The great additional number of guests required a complete re-adjustment of the arrangements of the banquet hall, but happily every one was ultimately comfortably seated, and in conse- quence of the excellent organisation of the establish- ment, every one was also abundantly served and satis- fied. The recent uncourteous reception of the noble chairman at the Guildhall seemed to be in every one's mind, and a determination was evinced at an early pe- riod of the evening to show his lordship, that whatever might be the hostility which his political conduct had engendered in the breasts of the citizens generally, it was by no means shared by the warehousemen and clerks, who only recognised in their president a man of high station and influence c ming forward to aid by his presence the cause of this infant but valuable and pro- mising charity. The noble lord was cheered tremen- dously on entering the room, and subsequently at various periods of the evening, when the order of the proceed. ings brought him more prominently before the meeting. Amongst the heads of the warehousing trade who sup• ported his lordship at the head table were Messrs. Geo. Moore, Win. Leaf, J. P. Foster, Watford, Greatorex, George Laurance, W. J. Powell, W. Bradbury, &c. Upwards of two hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner. A musical party under the direction of Mr. Ransford, and comprising the talents of Misses Ransford and Eyles, Messrs. Genge and W. E. Ransford, were in at- tendance, and performed a selection of popular music in the course of the evening. L.,rd J. Russell appeared to be in the best health and spirits, and addressed himself to the business of the evening with commendable care and earnestness. The first toast was The Queen of whom the Chairman said, that many years' experience of her Ma- jesty's public and private virtues only served to increase the affectionate attachment of the British people towards their Sover, ign. (Loud cheers.) The next toast was Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the royal Of the Prince of Wales the Chairman observed that he had reached his fourteenth year, and was now approaching a period of his life when the nation would appreciate the excel- lent education he had received. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Lord J. Russell trusted that in future times his Royal Highness would became an honour to his country, and to those who had had the charge of his education. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN again rose to give Army and He said he was then about to give a toast which had often been drunk in time of peace , eith a prophetic anticipation of the services which the army and navy would be ready to perform whenever war should arise. (lieu.) He had now to give it with the assurance that all that could have been expected of our gallant army and navy had been gallantly performed. (Cheers.) They must all bo proud of that army which, being only as numerous as the country could fit out at the first out- break of the war, had still at Alma performed the most daring feats, and had carried these positions in three hours which it was expected would have resisted for three weeks. (Cheers.) They would also remember that, when that army bad been reduced by disease and priva- tion of every kind—by cold, and want of food, and clothing—they fought the world-famous battle of Joker- man, and against six times their number gloriously sus- tained the honour of the British flog. (Cheers.) But, however much they might admire the daring of those who fought their battles, he begged to observe that the innate courage and power of discipline that enabled men, day after day, and night after night, to sustain the hard- ships of the trenches without the inspiring chance of en- countering the enemy face to face, but still in momentary daug-r of his rifles and artillery, was equally worthy of their admiration. (Cheers.) Hewever great might have been the courage of those who, battled in the field, the soldiers of the trenches had also set an example which he hoped might be worthily emulated in future times. (Hear.) They had recently had to rejoice in' the fall of Sebastopol, the object of all these bateiles and perils. That stronghold which heel been supposed to be impreg- nable was now the prize of the allied armies, and they had further to rejoice that while the British troops bore the brunt at the battles at Alma and lektr- loan, their allies, the French and Sardinians, had won the b a ttl e of the Tchernaya, and finally taken &bast ;poi. He trusted that the union consummated by the aseault on Sebastopol, might be only the pr sage of a long and enduring alliance between the to o countries. (Cheers.) He might, he hoped, be permitted, as one who had long known him, to lament that the gallant spirit of Raglan bad lied before the final triumph had arrived, for he was sure that all the wise measures his departed friend had taken, all the firmness he had displayed, merited the re ward of participating in the final victory. But the examples furnished by men like him would not be lost ; they would be preserved to future generations, and would show in what school England brought up her soldiers, and what pupils the great Duke of Wellington had trained. (Cheers.) With regard to the navy, their gallantry was too well known to require any eulogium from him. It must be a disappointment to them that they had net had an opportunity of meeting the enemy's fleets in hostile array ; bat still, in every operation in which th ey had been engaged, in the Sea of Azuff, and at Kinb aurn, they had displayed all their character i st i c gallantry. an d if ever the enemy should encounter t h em , they wou ld no doubt give as good an account of t h e struggle as th e y had in former times. (Cheers.) With these few words he would propose The Army and Navy but he could not sit down without alluding to the conduct of our brave allies the Turks at Silistria, and more recently at Kars—where they had shown that, with good officers, they were fit to rank with the first soldiers in the world. (Hear, hear.) Major Woon, as an officer of forty years' standing, returned thanks for the army. Seeing so many ladies in the gallery reminded him of the invaluable services which a lady, Miss Nightingale, had rendered to our sick and wounded soldiers in the East. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN in rising to propose the toast of the evening, Prosperity to the Warehousemen and Clerks said that it would not be necessary to waste many words in advancing the cause of charity and be- nevolence, which was what had brought them together on that evening. He begged leave in a few words to call their attention to the rapid growth of the institution. It appeared that in December, 1853, the first suggestion was made of providing for the orphans and necessitous children of warehousemen and clerks, and in less than six weeks 3,0001. was raised by the young men them- seives for the purpose of founding the institution. and cheers.) A short time after, the princi- pals, finding that it had been taken up with so much spirit, came forward, and in gifts of 501. or 1001. sub- scribed the large total of 4,0001. (Hear, hear.) It ap- peared further that after a short time the subscriptions had so much augmented, that after one of their public dinners no less a sum than 10,0001. was funded, an annual income of 1,0001. ascertained, and a balance left at the bankers' of 8301. Fifteen children had already been admitted and six more were about to be elected, making 21 in all, who would be provided for through the exertions of the association. In addition to that, ground had been obtained, and they would shortly have a building of their own for their permanent establish- ment. Having stated these facts, he would only say that an institution which had been so auspiciously begun, and which had increased so rapidly, and comprehending so large a class as the warehousemen and clerks of the wholesale dealers of this country, could not long remain without experiencing a very great extension. (Hear , hear.) He expected that in a few years the schools would be largely augmented, and that those who through their industry and talent had become fortunate in the world would not forget to contribute something towards the support of the orphan children of those who had not been so fortunate as themselves—(cheers) —and thus save their comrades that pang which h e believed was the bitterest in life, that of fearing t ha t failing health would oblige them to leave theirchildren who destitute on the world. He appealed tc_l_ thosewould tell them that there was not a were engaged in the business of- life, and . cheering or con- solatory reflection than that had helped to maintain institutions like the present by more ey c their ass%tance and charity, (Rear.)

THACKER, of No. street, at No. 4, bt. George's-crescent. A SUPP already become nsost conti2uouS in-the improved cultivation and extended resources of the distant marts of the empire. Nor have the moral and social effects of the increased facilities of communication been less important, or less conducive to human happiness. By reducing to a - third the expense, and to a fourth the time of travelling, they have extended its benefits to a proportionally wider circle, and, sir particular, brought them within the , reach of the middle class, to whom they were previously alMost unknown. A tradesman or mechaniecan now make - • the tour of the British Islands, or even of Europe, in a few days, which formerly was never attempted but by the nobility, and. accomplished in as many years. Immense has been the effect of. this happy facility, alike in dispelling prejudice, refining manners, and improving taste ; and these changes have powerfully reacted upon capital cities. It is from the railway system, and the desires to which it gave rise among a new and wide circle, •that the Great Exhibition of London in 1851, the subsequent ones at New York and Paris, and the glorious Crystal Palace at Sydenham, haVe taken their rise. In a political point of view, the effects of the railway system have been not less important. By bringing the distant pro- vinces of our empire, comparatively speaking, into close proximity WithThe.metropolis, it has augmented their intelli- gence, and in the same proportion increased their political power. The constant intercourse from travelling, the in- creased facility for the transmission of books and newspapers, the almost instantaneous transmission of intelligence by the electric telegraph, which soon after followed, have powerfully contributed- to equalise the advantages of situation, and give to the provinces a large portion, if not the whole, ,of the intellectual activity which formerly was peculiar to the metropolis.- By enabling troops or police to he sent rapidly from one part of the country to another, it has aug- mented the efficiency of the central government, and enabled it to provide with fewer men. and at a less cost, both for defence against external enemies, and the maintenance of domestic tranquillity.. That worst of all ascendancies in a community, the sway of the mob of the capital over the legis- lature, 'from the mere force of proximity of situation, so fatally experienced in Athens, Rome, and Paris, has been in a great measure destroyed. A more striking proof of this cannot be figurod than was furnished by the fact, that when the disarmament of the National Guard in Belleville and Montmartre was carried into execution, after the suppression of the great insurrection in July. 1848, it was effected by the National Guards of La Vend6e, brought up by the Orleans Railway from that distant and secluded province. There is no unmixed good in human affairs. Advantages, how great soever, are invariably attended by corresponding evils. The railway system is no exception to this general rule; on the contrary, it affords one of the most striking illustrations of it. It is the greatest promoter that ever came into operation .4:4 the centralising systed, ; but it has induced its evils as well as its. advantages. As much as it has brought the physical force of the prOvinces to the supPOrt of govern. meat in the capital,' hai it brought the intellectual influence of the metropolis down to the provinces. The chief talent of the nation being there concentrated, from the objects of ambition, political, literary, or legal, which are presented, the sway a mind in a particular quarter has become well nigh irresistible. The empire has become a huge metropolis, which the London press rules with despotic sway. Originality or independence Of thOught in the provinces is crushed in all save a few intrepid minds, by the overwhelming weight of the capital. Norhas the material and political influence of great cities been less increased by,the change than their intellectual sway. The facility of reachine. themet metropolis has caused the great and the affluent to tra n sf er nearly all their purchases to London; the attraction s o f Manchester, Birmingham, Liver- pool, and Glasgow, have drawn the most part of the purchases of the middle classes in the provinces to these great empo- riums of wealth and industry. The l small towns have dwindled or become stationary. because. They r v e lo los s t their purchasers ; the great ones have swelled int i o e. Ba . n •because they have tripled theirs. Politically . speaking, change has been of incalculable importance. The landed proprietors have ceased to Infliteno the small boroughs, because all their purchases ure made in the great ones, or. the metropolis. The great ma- nufacturing towns have become the rulers, because it is from them that the employment which feeds the lesser towns flows The only influence Which can be reckoned on as durable is that which gives bread or employment. When it is recollected that three fifths of the House of Commons consist of the members for boroughs, it may be conceived how important an influence this change has . come to have -on the balance of parties in the state, . - Experience has not yet enabled us to determine what influ- ence the railway system, when generally introduced, is fitted to have on military operations—the attack or defence of nations; for the only greatwars which have taken place since its introduction—viz;, those in Italy and Hungary in 1819, Kid Turkey in 1854—took place in cpuntries where it had not been at ail, or only partially introduced. It is usually consi- &red as having strengthened the means of defence rather than attack, by facilitating , the concentration of troops. which it certainly does, on the men aced point. Yet must - this be taken with some limitations ; for if it facilitates the concen- tration of the defending, it in an equal degree aids the accu- mulation of the attacking force: if it will bring the military -strength of all France in three days to the menaced point in Belgium or the Rhine, it will not less certainly bring the whole invading force of Germany in as short a time,to the same point. If generally introduced into Russia. it would double the already overgrown military strength of the Czar, ty more than halving the distance which his troopS have to march, and rendeing tine translation of them from the .ttaltie ,EM ENT TO THE LIVERPOOL, STAN 'to the Eu±ine, or' from Poland to the Caucasus, the Worli of a few days only, and-of no fatigue or loss to the mets. Undoubtedly, however, upon the whole, it favours the arms of Civilisation in a contest with barbarism ; for it re- quires an effort of skill and expenditure of capital for its general adoption which can only be'looked'for in a wealthy, and enlightened state: If it is equally adopted by two coun- tries in a similar state of civilisation, as France and Germany, and 3uffered to exist ; it may cause war to• resemble 'more closely a game at chess, by enabling the players to make , the moves at pleasure. But if one, when invaded, has the courage or the patriotic spirit to break up the system, it may give a very great, perhaps a decisive advantage, to the party making the sacrifice; for if the retiring army tears up the railway lines and breaks down the bridges, it retains the advantages of the system to itself, and takes them away from its 'oppo- nent. In this way it may be rendered an essential element in the defence, and important in maintaining the independ- ence of nations. Probably, to take advantage of it, fortresses wilt come hereafter to be constructed in the heart 'rather than the frontiers of kingdoms, in order that an invading enemy may find his own facilities diminish, and the forces of his adversary increase as he approaches the centre of his power. HaVing so disposed of the past, the present, and the future of the railway; that great instrument of civil- isation and human improvement, the historian next proceeds with a consideration of those causes which immediately led to passing the lleforni Bill of 1832, and in doing this he is necessarily i m p e ll e d t o a n exa- mination of the public character and history of the leading men by whom that great change was brought about. In discharge of this portion of his historical labours, Sir Archibald passes in masterly review the political and moral characters of the“Toremost in that important movement. Strong inclination prompts us to quote some of those admirable sketches, which want of space prevents us doing - more than briefly alluding to. In his delineation of these - charac- ters, .our author displays some and not a feW of his best qualities—in them he manifests clear sagacity coupled with irreproachable candour, sharp p ene t ra ti on is backed by sou n d . judgment, inflexible justice and stern honesty of purpose are 'counterpoised though not controlled by gentleness of disposition, and in every instance he exhibits an anxious desire to nothinc , extenuate. Nor set down aught in and this • strong earnestness renders the intellectual portraits he has produced as tributary to his moral worth as they are creditable to his mental character, and honourable to that literature of which he forms-at once a pillar and an ornament. Instead of seeming more encumbered by difficulties as he approaches the period of his labours, the task appears easier to Sir Archibald, as he approximates towards its completion : a. sure . indication • that the work has been well considered in all its complicated bearings. As in any carefully-designed undertaking, each succeeding step in its progress tends more and more to illustrate thpse which have preceded, while it also gives more intelli- gible token of ;the form and colour to be assumed by those which are to follow. In short, working to a pre-conceived and well-digested plan, the perfect sym- metry of proportion, the entire harmony of parts, and the complete homogeneousness of the structure become more obvious as it approaches completion, and will not be fully developed, till it is finished in all its noble pro- portions and details of tall pinnacle and strengthening buttress. of charming colonnade, rich frieze, and well- proportioned cornice. - Blackwood's Magazine.

METHOD.—AII things in us and about us are a chaos with- out method ; and so long as the mind is entirely) passive, so long as there is an habitual submission of the understanding to mere events and images, as such,, without any attempt to classify and arrange them, so long the chaos must continue. There may be transition, but there never' cai be progress ; there may be sensation, but there cannot be thought ; for the total absence of method renders things impracticable ; as we think that partial defects of method proportionally render thinking a trouble and a fatigue.—S. T. Coleridge. ONCE UPON, A TIME.—It is a charm whiCh bath kept the child awake even in the best of dormitories, the mothers bosom, and has ever after enlivened the man-child, nor failed of ministering its elixir vitce, even in extreme age. It is that one specific good, for every evil has some beneficial ingredient, which was in the curiosity that tempted first the mother of mankind ; and maternal tenderness has culled it from the sin, and used it lovingly, to this day. And the charm will work as long as time shall last. The traveller, en whatever road of life, and on whatever speed intent, will stay his steps at hearing the words. Their power is. inevitable, as of the Ancient and is embodied in his address, • There was a ship, quoth • —Blackwood's Magazine. SWALLOWING A WRIT.—In Newington Church is buried . Mr. Serjeant Davy (d. 1660.) He was originally a chemist of Exeter; and a sheriff's officer coming to serve on him a pro- cess from the Court of Common Pleas, he civilly asked him to drink, While the man was drinking, Davy contrived to heat a poker, and then told the bailiff that if he. did not eat the writ, which was of sheepskin, and as good as mutton, he should swallow the poker ! The man preferred the parchment ; but the Court of Common Pleas, not then accustomed to Mr. Davy's jokes, sent for him to estminster Hall, and for con- tempt of their process committed him to. Fleet prison. From this circumstance, and some unfortunate .man whom he met there, he acquired a taste of the l a w, and on. his discharge he applied himself to the study in earnest, was called to the bar, made a serjeant, and was for a long time in good practice.— Timb's Curiosities of London. MARRIAGE CAVALCADE OF THE INFANTA MARIA. TERESA. --On the 15th of April, Philip IV. having made his 'will, and commended himself to our Lady of Atocha, set out from the capital, accompanied by the Infanta, and followed by 3,500 mules, 82 horses, 70 coaches, and 70 baggage wagons. The baggage of the royal bride alone would have ; served for a small army. Her dresses were packed in twelv large trunks, covered with crimson velvet, and mounted with silver; twenty morocco trunks contained her linen ; and , fifty mules were laden with her toilet plate and perfumes... Besides these per- sonal equipments, she carried a vast pro Vision of presents ; amongst which were two chests filled with, purses, amber gloves, and whisker-cases for her future brother-in-law, the Duke of Orleans, The grandees of the household vial with each other in the size and splendour of their retinues. The cavalcade extended six leagues in length, and the trump ets of the van were sounding at the gate of Alcala De Henares, the first day's halting-place, ere the last files had issued from the gate of Madrid.—Stirling's Velazquez. EPISODE IN THE LIFE OF LOUIS NAPOLEON. — It was on the occasion of a dramatic representation at the St. James's Theatre, some time in the month of June, 1847, that the inci- dent to which I allude took place. It was a royal night, and the Queen and Prince Albert occupied the royal box. By their side sat the Duke of Nemours—not then an exile eating the bitter bread of foreign hospitality, but the offspring of a reigning king, the future regent of a great country, the near connection of the sovereign who; in the sunshine of his suc- cess, gave him so gracious a welcome to the English court. Below, however, the scene was less flattering to the theory of the divine right of kings. On one side sat the Duke of Bruns- wick, with his diamonds and rouge, an exile from his beloved on the other, and opposite him, the Count of Montemolin, the pretender to the Spanish throne. In the first tier of boxes, concealed by the drapery, and shrouded, as it were, with the shadow of misfortunes, sat the dethroned brother of Don Pedro—Don Miguel himself ; and nothing was wanting to the tableau of the defunct sovereigns and ousted pretenders but the presence of the culminating Theodorns of the scene.— Every one was making comments on the strange coincidence that had brought so many claimants of royalty together into one spot, and smiling at the ,mutability of things, when sud- denly, by the orchestra, entered Louis Napoleon. The situa- tion was striking. There was nothing to break its effect, as the curtain was down, and every 'one was yielding to the train of thoughts naturally engendered , by the spectacle. A Sense of ridicule seized on the whole assembly; a laugh passed from the orchestra through the pit, even to the royal box. The very name of Louis Napoleon seemed to warrant a smile—- a smile at the folly of the hero of Strasbourg and Boulogne. Louis Napoleon was not slow to undertand the object of so much merriment. He threw a cold and sullen glance on the royal box, where the Duke of Nemours, the son of the king of the French, sat in smiling mockery at the luckless aspirant to his father's throne ; and then rising from his seat, he slowly and deliberately placed himself on the left side of the theatre, under that royal box, and in such a manner as to break the view of its inmates.. What were his feelings at the moment ! Now that we know the man, we can fancy, at least, somewhat of the bitternees which must have overswept his heart, when thus treated as the subject of general ridicule by a large and crowded audience—when thus mocked by the successful rival of his fortunes and smiled at by the sovereign in whose lands he was an exile. We can fancy somewhat of the dark shadows and the tangled passions, raid the impenetrable throbbings of vengeance and hate, which must have then possessed the soul of the exile of King-street—the present Emperor of France, and the late guest of Queen Victoria.—Chambers's Journal.

COURTENAY, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric- ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilfhl manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of Instruments through a stricture which bad previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part, to have achieved the reputation ho has in this respect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the Circular. ttliT ~ E STABLISHED 1837.

TAKEN—The plans of operation not being made public, but a general impression existing that successful measures will soon be adopted, it is the north and wintery side of the Russian fortifications which will next fall before the Allies, and furnish another instance of military skill and perseverance. The attack on the south has Bacceeded, and the surrender of the forts has revealed valuable mill. tary provisions. By the force of comparison every one will perceive the analogy between these circumstances and the business of E. MOSES and SON. The success of their summer campaign has been fully attested, and has revealed the vast commercial forces they command. The light, the waterproof, the attractive, and the gen- tlemanly garments, which have been so approved, have risen above all criticism, and left every one vocal in praise of the generalship of E. Mesas and Sox. The Autumn and Winter season approaches ; the opponents of personal cdmfort must again be combatted ; the resources are ample and the arrangements complete. The Kertch Jacket and the Emperbr's Cape, in which the materi- als are seasonable, the designs popular, the effect highly satisfactory, comfort secured in every way by these garments, and by thousands Of other elegant and novel inventions. 7he north completely con- quered with superlative Dress, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., &c., at extraordinarily economical prices. ' Every article of Attire required by Sportsmen is furnished by E. MosEs and Soar. Their Sporting Dress is the most comfortable and easy. Novel in materials and design, it imparts a graceful appear- ance and mfuntains universal approbation. Bats and Caps for Sportsmen of the most novel and serviceable order. The largest stock of Boots for sporting excursions, of very supe- rior materials and workmanship, at very reasonable prices. Hosiery for Sportsmen, the newest articles in the greatest variety. Prices always very economical. Sportsmen in the country can obtain their dress complete, in an inimitable fit, by application for E. MOSES and Son's system of self- Measurement, sent post free to all parts of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the Public against imposition, having learned that the nntradesman-like falsehood of Being connected with their or It': the same has been resorted to in many instances, and fet obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER ROME IN OR OUT OP LONDON, except their own Establishments, as under : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 83 8 4.45, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

There is a verisimilitude about it that would - entitle it to attention at any moment or on any authority. The difficulty hitherto has been how the noblemen above alluded to, and some others holding high office, have consented to sustain, by their popularity, experience, and talent, the blun- dering incapacity of the Prime Minister and same of his highly-favoured colleagues. Although hat- ing a party altogether consisting of officers, and numerically inferior . to any in the House or in the country, he has continued to monopolise fcr his immediate followers all the offices relating to the conduct of the War—the mismanagement whereof has cast the deepest disgrace upon the collective body. The Whig portion of the Cabinet cannot, so long as they consent to act with the Peelites, escape £rom a portion of the blame. The nation sees that it is the duty of those, in whom it still feels some degree of confidence, to shake off the unholy alliance without further loss of time, and, if they cannot see their views fairly carried into operation, to sever the connection. It is by their strength only that LordABzRDEEN and his followers have attained, and continued in, power —we should, perhaps, rather say his associates—for without auy claims to the position he was merely pitchforlrecl into the Pee- r iership as the only one with whom the others would act, his acknowledged mediocrity ignoring the superiority which might have been asserted if any of half-a-dozen more competent leaders had beep selected. They are therefore responsible to the nation, and as they have been so palpably jockeyed, so contemptuously excluded from all par- ticipation in the management of the War, it is a duty to themselves, even at the eleventh hour, to assert their own independence and vindicate their characters from the damaging charge that must otherwise inevitably be brought against them. There are still the materials for a Liberal Go- vernment without the ABERDEEN mixture ; or, if not, far better that Lords Jon RUSSELL, and PAL3IERSTON, and CLARENDON, and LANSDOWNE should form a vigorous Opposition, that would en- force due attention to the wants and exigencies of the country, and see that the War was vigorously and energetically waged, until it can be brought to an honourable conclusion. The safety of our gallant fellows in the Crimea demands a change ; and we care not what may be the undue influence which Lcrd. ABERDEEN possesses in high quar- ters ; it must fail before the constitutional ex- pression of the popular will—the true source of legitimate power in this favoured land. Where are the mercenaries for the Foreign Legion to come from ? It is quite clear that the good hasresolved that no Prussian shall honour the English flag by fighting under its sha- dow. Tito Angel of Peace has been seriously alarmed lest some of his subjects should be seduced by British gold, and that his neutrality, so per- severingly clung to, at an alarming sacrifice of honour and dignity, should thus be compromised, or the interests of his dear brother-in-law damaged. Already proclamations have Leon published cau- -1 Co m ning tho people against b e i ng l ed astray, and fulminating fierce threats against those who may endeavour to enlist them. The following notification las been put forward in the province of Posen, wWch, as a p or ti on o f dismembered Poland, might be supposed to sym- pathise with the Western Powers against the chief conspirator against Polish nationality. That it has emanated from a higher authority is cer- tain, and it is therefore more thansimilar probable that P r oclamations have been circulated throughere out the length We h and breadth o f th e land, repeat the notice which appeared in our impression of yesterday Prussian Criminal Cod He who enrols a Prussian for set POSEN, DEC. 28. e.;.A.rt. 111, ordains-- or the recruiters who conduct then, n foreign States, ~,„ian 14 4 Z ie kewise ho who premeditatedly excites a P desert, or favours premeditatedly the desertion ot tit r e te. punished with imprisonment varying from ' tr re e : be to three years.

So it is positively asserted, and with much apparent reason. The almost daily Cabinet Councils, the incessant anxiety, clearly indicate that something is going on of au extraordinary character. Minis- ters do not remain three or four hours in earnest discussion if all matters are going on smoothly, and that there are no peculiar difficulties to be overcome leading to differences of opinion amongst themselves. That matters of an unto- ward character are ventilated in the inmost shrine of Downing -street seems certain, and it also seems more than probable that the bonds by which the rather heterogeneous elements of the Joint-Stock Administration were united in the first instance ara becoming gradually relaxed, and that even should Ministers escape a strong Parliamentary opposition and a stringent pressure from without, they would still yield to their own feelings and dissolve the inauspicious connexion on which they had entered without due consider- ation. The rather vague rumours that have for some time been circulating have at length assumed a definite and consistent form. It is said that Lords J. RUSSELL, PALMERSTON, LANSDOWNE, and CLAR- ENDON deeply feel the odium to which they are sub- jecting themselves by continuing in a Cabinet, from all the important offices whereof —relating to the management of the War—they are studiously ex- cluded. They find that protests have not received the attention which they merited ; and that, in fact, their own reputations are suffering from the mismanagement of matters wholly beyond their control. of negotiations, that would necessarily be so protracted, 'that the urgency would have long passed away loel.)re they could 1 - .Tort , 2llt to a If they gave a tacit assent, or evei: connived at, the proceeding, insert would nutU- rally, and, we must add, justly, refuse to consi- der them as neutral. She would say, you m ust not indirectly do that which you refuse to do openly and above board. Although Ido not re- quire your assistance in the quarrel in which I am engaged, yet I must class you with my ene- mies, and deal with you as such, if you suffer your subjects to enter the lists against me, either as sympathisers, or, still worse, as mercenaries. Such arguments will unquestionably prove effec- tual with those who, like Prussia, still hang back, and refused to elect the standard under which coric!u3r : T. they were prepared to serve. We cannot, then, obtain the State sanction to the step ; and what can we do without it ? The above Proclamation shows that every attempt to obtain recruits without the requisite permission must prove fruitless and abortive. And why should we expect it to be otherwise ? Would we permit Prussia to send its recruiting officers into England to find men willing to take up arms against Austria, or France, or Sweden ? Cer- tainly not ! The attempt would at once be met with all the rigour of the law ; and every man who came within the salutary provision of the Foreign (not the Enlistment Act, would, if an Englishman, be severely punished by fine or imprisonment, or both ; or if a foreigner, by exclusion from the territory, the hospitality whereof he had abused. Why should we expect different treatment from others than we would ourselves accord to them if the situations were reversed. It is one of the strongest objections to the very ob- noxious measure that it reduces the United Kingdom to that of a suppliant or a wrong-doer, while at the same time it establishes a very dan- gerous precedent, that may at any moment be flung in our teeth with fearful effect. In the commencement of the War the practice of was most powerfully, aid we may add almost unanimously, denounced. The evils of warfare would be seriously aggra- vated, if all the bold and dissolute —every ma n , who, like the conspirator of the olden time, was alieni appeteus sui proftcsus feel himself at liberty to seek plunder in any direction—without reference to the justice of a quarrel, in which he himself, or his own country, had no interest whatsoever. If we have Swiss or German mercenaries, what should hinder the CZAR from licensing American privateers ? And if we treat the latter as pirates, what is to forbid the use of the rope or the fusillade to our Buc- These are serious questions, which should have been answered before the mea- sure received the sanction of Parliament. We cannot reasonably complain of the refusal of the FREDERICK WILLIAM to be implicated, but rather of our own improvident Legislature that exposed the United Kingdom to such deep humiliation at the hands of such a Power. The affliction of the dying lion was most insupportable when he received a kick from a passing donkey ; and we must endure the contumely from Prussia, and place it to the pro- per account, that of the Ministers who introduced a measure so unconstitutional and impolitic

505 OPENING OF THE NEW CATTLE-hiARKE' THE opening of the new cattle-market, whither, after so long a struggle, the glories of old Smithfield are to be transferred, took place on Wednesday last. Prince Albert attended to give éclat to the ceremonial, which in other respects presented nothing beyond the routine formalities observed time out of mind on similar occasions. There were marquees for the dis- tinguished guests, and seats in the open air for those of less pretensions, balconies and windows crowded with company in all the buildings overlooking the scene, and a miscellaneous concourse of uninvited spectators in all the avenues and circumjacrnt spots where a glimpse of any of the performances could, or could not, be obtained. The ceremony began at 11 o'clock, when the Prince was conducted in formal procession round the market by the Lord Mayor, ac- companied by many members of the London corpora- tion and a throng of official and civic personages. 'the procession over, with some subsequent visitations and inspections, addresses were read and replied to, and then the company proceeded to luncheon, after which two or three toasts and brief speeches conch:id, d the performances. Yesterday (Friday) the new market opened for the first time for the real business of a cattle day ; and the ancient Smithfield, as a cattle- market, is now a thing of the past. The total cost of the new undertaking has exceeded 4,000,0001., which will be defrayed out of the funds of the city of London. The following is a description of the site and structure of the new market : It is situated in Copenhagen-fields, close to the North London Railway, and theretore stauds very conveniently for stock forwarded from the kistem Countiei and from the districts traversed by the Great Northern and the North- Western lines. From the Great Western, also, animals can be conveyed here more readily than to Smithfield, and these of course are the principal sources of supply, the quantity of stock coming to town by the South-Eastern and South-Western railways being comparatively small. The site is airy, open, and well adapted fur the observance of sanitary rules ; and so far in the country as to command rather a striking view of London. Altogether the corpora- tion have purchased 75 acres of land, but for the strict objects of the market itself they do not at present require more than 151 acres, and for subsidiary uses about the saute quantity. The land remaining over, however, must be en- hanced in value considerably, and, if not wanted, will always be worth more than was given for it, as the 75 acres were obtained at an average price of Stitt!. per acre. The 151 acres hued up for the strict purpose of the market form a square area of Sit) feet, paved throughout with granite, capable of being flushed with water from every part, sins rounded by a very handsome railing, and having in the centre a clock-tower 150 feet high. The space is therefore larger by nine acres than that of Smithfield, and is capable of contaiuing 30,000 sheep, 6,4(t) bullocks, 1,40t1 calves, and 900 pigs. This is considerably beyond the present supply of stock on the most crowded market dais, and is quite enough to meet the present requirements. When more aceomodation is wanted it can readily be provided. Dividing the market from north to south into two equal portions, the eastern half is devoted to cattle, and that on the west side to sheep, pigs, and calves. The two last- mentioned classes have excellent sheds provided for them, with an inclined plane down the centre of each, so that the animals may be taken in carts to the spot where they aro to be exhibited for sale, and the cruelties et Wont prac- tised in bringing them to Smitlified and removing them can be entirely avoided. It may be considered worthy of notice at this point that the architect, Mr. Bunning, while carefully providing features in his plan by which unneces- sary torture may be dispensed with, has not neglected to consult the fancies of i-ellers. For instance, the pig sales- men like to show their stock in sloping pens, and this notion of theirs has keen strictly atienued to. Mr. Ban- ning also deserves great credit for the convenient arrange• ment of the sheep•pens, the cattle alleys, and the numerous entrances to the market. The plan of the sheep•pens is so devised that the whole space can be filled or cleared without any of that obsttuction, waste of time, and uproar which those who have visited Smithfield on a Monday morning will not readily forget. The cattle alleys are also wider than at Smithfield, and each bullock has two feet apace instead of a foot-and-a-half. This is considered suf- ficient to permit of their being properly seen and handled by buyers without giving them room to lie down, which would be deemed objectionable. Another great improve- ment which the new market presents is the central position of the clock-tower, which has not only market bells and an illuminated clock for marking time in the dark winter mornings, but which has round its base the banking houses for the pecuniary transactions of the market ; the office of the market superintendent, where twice in the day the amount of cattle on sale will be exhi- bited ; and an electric-telegraph station for the trans- mission of messages. At each of the four corners of the indulged fidd , lrangular spice public urinals and water-closets have been constructed, and both there and in the market provision has been made for the preservation of sewage manure, should any of the schemes aflodt fur doing so be eventually realised. The railing which indorses the area of the market is well and id-minim- ally set off by standards bearing in relief, according to the part where they arc placed, the beads of bullocks, sheep, calves, or pigs. The space outside of the market has been occupied by the expense of theslaughter-houses,se,ens corporation, taverns, ian ad is, moreover, ndgin-palac inndt , built te et t, to . pre vide a site for a hide market and fur a building in which to display agricultural implements and produce. The lairs are, of course, a most useful and necessary feature of such an undertaking, and ander good management *ill n doubt prove of great advantage to those sending stock early for sale or keeping them over from one day to another. North of the market, two taverns—the Queen's Arms and the City Arms—are erected, between which will be placed a fountain. Northwards of the taverns and foun- tain will be a building intended for the annual cattle-show, which, when not used for that purpose, will afford ample standing for butchers' carts. No arrangement has, how- ever, yet been made as to the removal of the show from Baker-street. \Vest of the market lairage is provided for 8,160 sheep, on an area of six acres and three perches, rather more than half of which is covered. Water and racks for hay are placed in each lair. South of the market lairage is provided for 8,000 bul- locks, on an area of Ba. Or. 11p., provision being made for supply of water snd hay to each bullock. At the north and south ends of these lairs four depots for hay are pro- vided. East of these lairs some private slaughter-houses are built, and on the west side two public slaughter-houses, in which 600 bullocks can be killed weekly. South of the public slaughter-houses a meat-market is being constructed. Ample space, it will be seen, for the future extension of the public and private slaughter-houses is provided. A publichouse is placed at each corner of the market, and these are named The The The Black and The White The publichouse, The iiutchers' stands at the south-west corner of the New-road from Caledonian-road to Maiden-lane, for the accommodation of the slaughtermen. It ought not to be forgotten that the corporation, not unmindful of the change which has of recent years taken place in the habits of these men and of the drovers, has made it an express condition in the leases that coffee as well as intoxicating drinks shall be supplied on reasonable terms. CRYSTAL ARCADE ROUND LONDON. MUCH interest has been caused by the publication of a plan projected by Sir Joseph Paxton for establishing a novel means of communication between different central points of London traffic and the different railway-stations. Sir J. Paxton first explained his magnificent scheme to the Committee of Inquiry on the Metropolitan Communications at a recent sitting. The proposal embraces a carriage arcade of the same breadth as the transept in the old Crystal Palace, starting from the Mansion-house towards Southwark Bridge, crossing the river, running to the South-Western Railway-station, and thence again across the river near Hungerford-bridge to the Regent-circus, the communication by this route being nearly the same in point of distance as that by the Strand. At the same time a line of similar character would branch from a point near the South-Western Railway to the Houses of Parliament and Victoria-street by a bridge at Lambeth, and, as at the back of the houses on each side atmospheric lines of railway are to be constructed, the transit between Belgravia and the Bank would thus be reduced to about eight minutes, and between the Bank and Charing- cross or the Regent's-circus to about five or six minutes. This railway would be at an elevation to enable it to pass across the various streets which it would intersect without interfering with any of the existing roads, and the system would involve a constant succession of express trains as well as of stopping-trains at every half-mile or less, so arranged as to be perfectly noiseless. The carriage-way of the arcade, it is contemplated, should be closed against waggons between nine in the morning and nine at night, to insure the facilities for quick passenger traffic, as well as for increasing the attraction of the costly shops on each side ; and among the prominent recommendations of pro- perty on the line would be the protection afforded to all kinds of goods by its cleanliness, equable temperature, brightness of light, and immunity from weather as a pro- menade and drive in summer and winter. The estimated cost of this improvement, which Sir Joseph Paxton con- siders would be the largest thoroughfare in the world, and such as to make London the most magnificent and convenient city in existence, is 11,300,0001., and the calculated returns from rents and railway revenue are 938,0001., or between eight and nine per cent. To insure its completion, however, in the best manner for the interests of the nation, it is contended that the co-operation of Government should be obtained, and that this should consist in a guarantee of four per cent. interest for sixty years, on condition that a half of one per cent. should be set aside annually to redeem the capital within that period, and that all receipts above four per cent. should be equally divided between the State and the com- pany. Under this it would appear that, if the property were to yield the anticipated return of eight per cent., the transaction would result in the nation receiving an annual payment of more than 2.10,0001. for sixty years, and at the end of that time being put in possession of the entire pro- perty without ever having incurred an expenditure of a shilling, while the public would gain three free bridges and the removal of delays and obstacles which have been estimated to cause an annual money loss of upwards of a million sterling to the trade of the kingdom. The ultimate extension of the undertaking as a boulevard encircling London, and connecting all the railway•stations, would increase the total cost to 34,000,000/., but the grand point of bringing the City and West-end into rapid commu- nication will be the first to command attention, and this ob- ject can be accomplished by itself, leaving the remainder to be carried out as a necessary consequence of its suc- cess. THE WORKING MEN'S COLLEGE, Cambridge, is now fairly established. The number of students already enrolled on the books amounts to 112. The most popular subjects are English grammar, mathematics, Latin, French, drawing, and vocal music; and the list of names includes persons engaged in almost every occupation. It is intended, ere long, to estab lib as adult school in connection with the college%
