It is • sign of the present time, when we find officers of the army and navy coming boldly before the public and making it the umpire of professional controversies. Some years ago these gentlemen would have been quietly informed that they had incurred the serious displeasure of the powers minis terial, and perhaps that their further services would be dispensed with, but we have now our Napier, and Plunketts discussing the state of the navy, and oar Napier, and Burgnynes that of the army. In the present instance we find an artillery officer, who,—anxious to remedy the evil system which has gradually crept into that service, yet at the same time feeling that the enormous ordnance expenditure weighs heavily on the country, finds it rather difficult to Wow how to increase the corps without adding to INV_ iMpithe. Whatever system is adopted with respect to artil imy,thery is one point which should never be overlooked, rill that is the dissemination of the men over innu merable fortresses. For this reason, therefore, the sempany of artillery, as at present organised, is already too strong. For instance, some years ago it was required to send some artillerymen to New Zealand. A company was too much ; about a quarter was sent, under a subaltern; had it been of lees strength, then a united body could have been sent instead of a fraction, by which the company has been broken up ever since. In the field, artillery is divided into batteries of eight guns smoapt most of the European powers. This number is se lected because it is that which one officer is able to command efficiently on service. Our peace organ isation is only four guns, and Colonel Chesney pen. poses that, to form a buttery on the war establishment, two of these peace batteries should be united into one, under • field officer. This is a simple method, which requires to be commended. Each company to consist of one captain, two subalterns, and seventy two men, instead of two captains and three subal terns, as it does at present, the second captain being neither one thing nor the other, for in the army he has the same rank as his senior, and in his regiment he is junior to him. The excuse generally made against admitting this theory is, that artillerymen are so scattered about, that the company requires more officers than the line do. But it' the number of men in the company is reduced, then it can hive fewer officers, whilst at the same time it does away with the absurd rank of second captain. There is a subject connected with the formation of field batteries which Colonel Chesney raises, and which is well worthy of public attention. Some fifty years ago, the present rocket was invented by the lute Sir William Congrevc, a man of great ingenuity. They were tried by the flotilla off Itou logne, and found so sucoesaful that they were adopted in the service, and used afterwards in thil d yrences, Leipzig, and Waterloo. Like all other things, however, they were taken possession of y that pet corps of the master-general, the horse artillery, and ,at a time when every field-battery should have its rocket-carriage attached, that ann is still confined to the horse artillery. If the question were asked in the House of Commons, we should have the old hum drum story about rapidity of movements, strong homes, efficient body, Sze., the main part of the ques tion being especially avoided. But luckily we all know 'that rockets are large squibs with sticks attached to them, and that any boy in the streets could fire them just as well as a real royal horse artilleryman. It is the deficiency of these field bat teries for which we cannot account. We all hear of Woolwich-common ; the perfection of the instructions carried on there, the admirable reviews; and, in our innocence, take our wives and children to see those guns, which, to the uninitiated, appear so many ogres; and, lo! to our dismay, we are told, as soon as there is a chance of a row, that these guns are no use; that they arc merely 6-pounders instead of 9-pounders ; that we have no horses to draw them; that our men arc unable to move the heavier ones; that few officers have ever seen a rocket fired, although the arsenal is full of them, and many other little stories, which make us wish that during the last thirty years we had kept our pockets buttoned up, and burnt all blue books entitled Ordnance Expenditure." We hope that Colonel Chesney's remarks on this subject will be taken up, for every nation but our selves has strong rocket corps, and we who were the originators—for all over the Continent they are known by the name of Congreves—are the most backward in making use of them. Colonel Chesney, to prove the deficiency of our artillerymen, points out Gibraltar as having but ono man per gun, and Malta two men for every three. An officer of his standing might better have illus trated this had ho obtained returns of some of the smaller detachments, where often there arc hardly men sufficient to keep the guns clean and prevent them from getting rusty. It is also stated, upon what autho rity we do not know, that there are fifty-twofield-guns horsed. Yes, they have horses, but when these guns took the field, not onielialf would be horsed as they should be for service, and it is notorious that at all reviews nine-pounder guns, with their six horses, are obliged to leave their waggons behind,—much in the same way as if a man set out on a journey leaving his money behind. Tile battery at Ballincollig, under the immediate command of the colonel, may be a very good one, but he forgets that it is in Irelands and in case of an invasion not ono man wadi be taken from it. At present we can and must oily look to Woolwich. It is our boasted depot, and has coat us thousands. Let us see what it can produce. But, unfortunately, like all other things in this world which receive no opposition, they are apt to go to sleep. It is an overgrown monopoly. flow MIA more efficiently does the marine system VOL Divided between Portsmouth, Plymouth, Climillam, and Woolwich. there is a striving between then liar heed-quarters as to which should be the smartest and best-drilled body. Their adjutant-general lives in London, and thence orders are sent to these various stations; besides, their depots give extra men to the garrisons of these sea-ports, whilst the goodly troops of Woolwich do nothing but mount guard in an un protected, undefended arsenal, where the whole might any night be cut off by a bold steamer. guard y should they not bo divided also between our sea-ports, and let an inspector of drills, in the same manner as the cavalry have, go his rounds as often as be likes, and see that everything is carried on in an uniform, proper manner. Is there anything about the soil of Woolwich which alone can make gunners? Is it so impregnated with drill, that the very at mosphere should act in flavour of the drill-sergeant? We suspect that there is a little obstinacy in the use, and that were more gunners sent to Plymouth and Portsmouth, their drills could be earned on just as efficiently as at Woolwich. Colonel Chesney's theory on artillery is that of an eminently practical man, and when he and such men as Sir Robert Gardiner take up the subject in the manner they have done, them in no doubt that some stringent reforms will be carried out, but there is one point which should not be decided on in a hurry. In foreign armies a distinction is made between field batteries and garrison artillery; they are in fact two separate corps. But England does not raise an army for the purpose of keeping down a desolate peasantry or for foreign invasions. It is keptti solely for defence of herself; and when we spe a k[ of England we include her numerous possessions and colonies. Supposing that we had so many gar rison gunners and so many field-batteries, and that one of our largo foreign fortresses were besieged, where are we to obtain more men to send to its relief? Our garrison artillery we cannot spare, for it may be wanted; wo must therefore look to a field battery, turn it into garrison artillery, and send it out. On the other hand, let a war break out, at home or abroad, we want more field-batteries than we possess ; we have then but to give a garrison company a few guns and horses, and the battery is ready to take the field. We cannot, in this instance imitate foreign armies, for England, with her colo: nies, cannot afford to have an army organised for itself and another for each colony. It is true that this system requires a great deal of common sense in the men, and gives them a great deal to learn ; but that they do learn is clear, for in the rebellion in Canada, the garrison artillery, which was suddenly turned into field batteries, was found just as effective, —and the same lately at the Cape. As we have said before, Colonel Chesney's book must be read with caution, hut at the same time it may be read with profit, for there is much practical truth in it. On the main point we fully agree with him. There is great want of artillerymen and of THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

LEOAL EDCCATION.—The recent discussion by the press and the public of the question of an improved system of legal education for the future memblrrs of thu bar of England has apparently not been without influence on the bencliers of the inns of court, who have so long enjoyed the dignity of educational government with so little of its cares. A meeting of an educational committee, composed of benches of the four inns of court, was, is we are informed, held in the hall of Lincoln's ion on Monday afternoon. Nothing has transpired as to the extent of educational re form contemplated, or, indeed, to show that the question has yet taken the shape of a project. It will be so far gratifying to the friends of this reform to learn that the benchers are at least moving. REFORM MEETING AT The Dowager Lady Byron, the widow of the great poet, is at present residing at Southampton. MANCHESTER. There was a numerous and influential meeting of the Council of the Manchester Financial and Farlismen- I tary Reform Association et Manchester, yesterday evening, Mr. Wineon in the chair. The meeting did not commence in time for our correspondent to send a full report. Amongst the gentlemen present were Mr. Bright, M.P. Mr. Oibson, M.P., Mr. James Heywood, M.P., Mr . Alexender Henry, 11. P., Mr. Kershaw , M.P., Sir Elkaoah Armitage, M.P., Mr. Thomas Eekriggs, Mr. Thomas Thompson, Mr. Joseph Simpson, Dr. Johns, Mr. J. Barrett, Mr. John Platt, Mr. John Moore, Mr. N. Buckley, Mr. John Whittaker. The CHAIRMAN introduced the business in a speech of some length. Mr. BRIGHT moved the following resolution :—"That the population of the county of Lancaster, by the census of 1851, is declared to be upwards of 2,000,000, or one-eighth of the population of England, end one-fourteenth of that of the United Kingdom ; that its taxable property, by a pee -1 liamentary return of the session of 1847, is declared to be 6,463,3131., or more than one-tenth of the whole rateable property of Ragland ; that its contributions to the national exchequer, whether from customs' contributions, or from payments to the various branches of the inland revenue, far exceed the average of the population and area of the United Kingdom; that its position with regard to industry, wealth, intelligence, and pup u t a ii., e , is second to no other county of the United Kingom ; that on all these grounds this meeting is of opinion that, in tiny measure of parlia mentary reform to be introduced by the government or enacted by the legislature, the number of members returned from this county should be largely increased, in order that its influence in the House of Commons may correspond to the magnitude of its interests, end to its importance as a portion of the United Kingdom." The hon. gentleman, after alluding to the pledge given by Lord J. Russell to in troduce • measure of parliamentary reform early in the en. suing Ill.illlll, and noticing the gradually increasing weak ness of the noble lord's government, said he sonsuiered it most itaportaut that the government should not only he powerful enough to firing in a good bill, but powerful enough to carry that bill through both houses of parliament. He insisted, although the same tumultuous agitation which preceded the Reform Act of 1832 was not now exhibited, then was nut the less dissatisfaction with the present repre sentation of the country, or the less anxiety for its improvement. After alluding to the disadvantages of an unstable government both with reference to the domes tic and foreign interests of the country, he expreseed his opinion that the House of Commons was now so balanced that it was utterly impossible, without a great mea sure of reform, that anything like • good, firm, or powerful government could be established. He next re ferred to several important questions, as law reform, our colonial policy, the management of the customs, the in come-tax, and the public expenditure, with which the go vernment were unable to deal efficiently and satisfactorily on account of the present state of parties in the House of Commons. Mr. Bright, after some allusions to the manage ment of the army and navy, directed attention to the state of the national representation, contending that the country members were the representatives of a handful of bind owners, and that the members for small boroughs were ge nerally the nominees of some lord, or banker, or lawyer. It was not surprising in this condition of the repre sentation that they should have a feeble and impotent go. vernment. After referring to the preponderance of the aristocratic element in the Cabinet, and to the exclusion from the higher offices of government of persons connected with the people, he contended that the remedy for this state of things was a great measure of parliamentary re form, which would render the House of Commons the true exponent of the opisious and will of the people. In conclu sion, he went into some details to show that Lancashire es pecially woe entitled to a larger amount of parliamentary representation than it now possessed. Mr. J. HEYWOOD, M.P. seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Mr. KERSHAW, M.P., moved the adoption of the fol lowing petition: o To the honourable the Commons of the United King ' dons of Great Britain and Ireland, in parliament assembled : The petition of the undersigned inhabitants of Man cheater humbly ehoweth : That your petitioners have heard with great satisfaction that it is the intention of her Ma * jesty's ministers to introduce in the session of the present year a bill to amend the representation of the people in your . honourable house. !From isst alesi'.

Tas MAYNOOTII COLLEGE ENDOWMENT ACT.—On Headily night an overflowing meeting took place at the Town-hall, Reading, to adopt petitions to parliament foe the repeal of the Maynooth College Endowment Act. It was one of the most enthusiastic meetings that has occurred in the town since the earn law agitation, and clergymen of different denominations were found uniting together to " That your petitioners are deeply anxious that the chance now proposed should render your honourable house • fair representation of the property, the intelligence, and the industry of the United Kingdom ; and in this view they submit the fullowing propositions, in the hope that they may receive the consideration of your honourable house, and be adopted in any measure for the amendment of the representation : " Your petitioners propose, that the elective franchise shall henceforth be based upon occupation, and liability to the poor-rate, with such limitations as to period of resi dence as shall be necessary to afford • guarantee that the occupation is bona fide ; ani:turther that the 40s. franchise shall be extended to the United Kingdom, and be con ferred upon the possessors of property of that annual value, whether derived from freehold, copyhold, or lease hold tenures. Your petitioners are of opinion that your honourable house cannot satisfactorily adjust the representation of the people without • very considerable change in the distribu tion of the electoral power, and they suggest, that, where practicable and convenient, small and neighbouring boroughs shall be united ant form ono borough ; that where such union is not practicable, small boroughs shall cease to return members, and their existing constituencies merge in the constituency of the county io which they are situate; that, corresponding to the extent to which small boroughs shall be united, or shall tease t o return members to parliament, new boroughs shall be created from the populous towns now unrepresented, and that additional members shall be conferred upon the metro politau and other first-class boroughs in the United King dom; and that, so far as is practicable, no constituency shall hereafter consist of fewer than 5,000 electors. " That your petitioners are most strongly of opinion, that the adoption of the ballot is indispensable to an honest representation; that it would make the conviction of the elector, rather than his personal interest and fears, the leading motive in the exercise of the franchise ; that it would greedy repress the demoralising practices, ao humi liating to candidates, and so degrading to electors, which seem almost inseparable from unease and a poll under the existing system; and that it would aid most effectually in preventing the turbulence and riot with which elections have hitherto been too often attended. _ denounce the Endowment Act of 1845, and to mimorialiss for ita repeal. The chair was taken by Dr. Consn, and several addresses having been delivered, the various resolu tions in furtherance of the objects in view were carried unanimously. "That your petitioners are of opinion that the present legal duration of parliament is mach too extended to secure ' to constituencies, proper control over their representatives, and they therefore strongly urge the repeal of the Septen nial Act, and the limitation of the duration of parliaments, according to ancient precedents, to a period not exceeding three years. " That your petitioners are of opinion that a property qualification for members of parliament is neither n nor just; and that the law which now insists upo e ru sr g qualification should be at once repealed. " That your petitioners, in urging the adoption of the foregoing propoctions, express their belief that they are strictly in accordance with the principles and objects of the constitution ; that they will provide for an honest expression of public opinion in your honourable house, and are calcu lated to secure a just and economical government to the British empire. Your petitioners, therefore, earnestly pray that the said propositions may form a part of any measure which your honourable house may pass to amend the repre sentation of the pee le. " And your petitioners will ever pray, &c." The motion was seconded, and at once agreed to. Alter speeches from Mr. Gintiosr, M.P., and other gen tlemen, the meeting broke up. SUBPICTED SMUGGLING AT SOUTTIAMI`TON.—In easeequenee of information having been received by the Cemndesioners of Canteens of extensive smuggling tremens lions helves/tied as by the officers of the passage steamen running to and from the French porta and the southern coast of England, an active and experienced metropolitan Custom-house officer has been employed to visit the English ports in question for the purpose of detecting the contra band practices. The whole of the officers of the South ampton and Havre passage steamers underwent • rigid examination a few days since immediately on their arrival at the first mentioned port by the metropolitan official, who, however, failed to detect anything illegal. The officers were partially stripped. Such a rigid personal examinatien has never before been found necessary at Southampton. EXTRAORDINARY PIIENOMENON.—OR Wednesday forenoon a most extraordinary circumstance happened at • fishing station on the Tay, a little below Errol. Several parties were is the habit of throwing a net into the river for the special purpose of capturing the small fish com monly known "sperlings.' Instead, however, of the fry they were wanting, in their first haul they brought ashore their net loaded with full grown herrings. A second shot was attended with, if passible, a larger e-stature. Such was the haul that it was feared the net would go to pieces. ' A third shot was made, but we did not hear of the result, but we are apt to suppose it was little behind the amount of the preceding, if the inference eon be drawn from the cir cumstance that the spoil were called at a penny ter fifteen in Errol throughout the day. 'f he unwonted circumstance of herrings being found so far up the Tay can only be ac counted for on the supposition that they were pursued by some marine foe.—Perits Courier.

TILE 111 ET RO Po LIT A N INTERMENT ACT.—ialat earning ei public meeting of the inhabitants of St. Giles-in th. •Fielils. and St. George's, Bloomsbury, was held at the Music 1141, Store-street, Bedford-square, to take into con sideration the best course to be adopted with • view of se curing the principle of local self•government. The meeting em convened by the parochial association in thaserrthe of its having been stated by Lord John threith sad the Ora tell", of the Exchequer, in answer to the deritades Waled by the Itiehop of London, that the Board of Health was not in • pos.tion to carry out the Metropolitan Interment Act, by remain of its being unable to borrow a sufficient 11 , 011 of some, vithnot applying to parliament fur further powers. Mr. W. Eiger, took the chair, and observed, in opening the proceedings, that although the city of London possessed two millions of inhabitant., the legislature had not thneght proper, except in one instance, to bring forward any mea sure for the improvement of the condition of the poor while helot, and fur their decent interment when dead. No legislative plan had ever been adopted for sup plying the metropolis with good water at an economical rate. and no m1:11/are had been pried for promoting a sup ply of cheap gas. He considered that the places called burial grounds were a disgrace to any civilised community, and he need only allude to that wretched and deplorable spot in Russell-street, Drug-lane, as evidence of the fact. It ,null not be doubted that the intention of the legislature in paving the Metropolitan Improvement Act to remedy co., like these was good, but the ideas put forth in that bill Wirt impracticable. Under such eirearristanees, it was the bounden duty of all parishes to secure to themselves the p 'vier of local self-government in sanita=re—so that they nii4tit be enabled to devise some e means of carrying nut their object with respect to bards.

Mr. Daeid Harris, brother of the deceased, deposed to having parted with him on the morning of Thursday last at nine o'clock, when he stated that he purposed going after some money, and he believed that it would yet be all right.--ley the jury : The money alluded to was to meet • trade debt, • bill of large amount owing to • buttlinian.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the board of directors of the parish of St. Pancras, Mr. Churchwarden Balsa in the chair, Mr. BIRCOIIOIIII, one of the relieving officers, stated that in conuquence of the refusal of the board to prosecute in the ease of Eleanor White, who was originally charged with ill-treating her child, and who has since been remanded on a charge of murder, he had been sent for by Mr. Tyrwhitt, the magistrate ' who had bound him over under Baines' Act to prosecute. In coming to this decision the magistrate had stated that he hod the Monet cue at Tooting, and that of the Sloane' to back his opinion. Mr. Coorett could not understand why the parish was to be put to the expense of prosecuting in this ease. In the case of Bare, who was charged with murder, the parish of Mary lebune was not called upon to prosecute, but the police were bound over. He contended that the parish had no thing to do with the present charge. The nue which they bruuaht against her, of cruelty to her child, had bean dis posed of. lie believed they had been led into this expense by the voluntary acts of their officer, who had been the means of bringing the directors of the parish into the squabbles between the magistrate and the coroner. Baines' Act, which had been alluded to by Mr. Tyrwhitt, did not apply in this case lie trusted that u the officer was bound over to prosecute, the parish would not have to bear the expense. Mr. Cool, the vestry clerk, had at a previous meeting foretold that they would be compelled to prosecute in this flagrant cue. The inquest had been held upon the child, and it was only in consequence of the Secretary of State refusing to give up the body of the mother of the child when .he was committed on a minor offence that a verdict of wilful murder was not returned. Mr. iiRALEY attributed the whole inconvenience to which they had been put to the disagreements existing be tween the officers of the establishment; bad it not been for this there never would have been en inquest at all, for he, in presence with his medical friebd In the chair, had seen the child and it was evident that death was occasioned by mesenteric disease. Mr. Binctimoug appealed to the board that he had no alternative but to prosecute, as ho had been bound over. Mr. Teumatt could see nothing to justify the board in fludtug fault with the Alcor in the mac ; Mr. Birchmore had no alternative than to appear before tho magistrate, when he sent down an officer (or him. The perish, therefore, through their officer, wilt be com pelled to prosecute in this case, although they came to a funnel resolution not to do so. THEY WON'T MEND THEIR WATE.—Parliament too et is in such a di.graceful state, and is so full of mud and 111th, that it really ought to have its name changed to that of St. Alban's place ; for it prevents the dirtiest par Bible approach to the Rouse of Commons.—Psesch. THE STRIKE. Last night a meeting of the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, &c., took place et the office*, Little Alie.street, Whitechupel, to receive re ports from the different branches, and determine upon any steps which it might he necersary to take consequent upon the present state of affairs in the society. Mr. Allan, the general secretary, stated, for the infor mation of the council, that although the time originally appointed fur the returns of votes upon the cu-operative grant of 10,0001. from the general fund of the society had that day expired, returns from only 72 branches out of 120 had arrived at the offices. He was, however, glad to state that, with the exception of those Gum three small branches, the returns received were in favour of the proposition of the council: in fact, the votes iu 69 out of the 72 districts re ferred to, were returned as almost unanimous upon the point. No active steps, it was understood, could be taken with regard to tho establishment of the eo-omrative shops until the receipt of returns ham the other brioches, which are expected to arrive iu a few days. Mr. Allan also stated that he had received information from Liverpool that the firm of Fswcctt and Cu. had given notice of their intention to discharge the society men in their employ at the end of the present week; and further, thar Mr. Macgregor, of the Vulcan Work+, had issued a document pledgiug his workmen to nominee all connexion with the Ama garnated Society, and that those who refused to sign would be discharged on Saturday. The result of these notices, we understand, will bo to throw out of employment many additional hands. A donation of 101. from Mr. C gham, a aeutleman of fortune residing at Brighton, accompanied by the following letter, was handed in by the secretary: " 20, Sussex•square, Brighton, Jan. 20, 18.52. "Sir—l am convinced that you will have the moral sup port of the public, whatever may be said to the contrary, in a movement to limit the hours of toil for the operative, whose bodily strength is his Duly patrimony. An adjust ment of the system of piecework is a mere complicated question; but if the employers, as well as the employed, be sincere in their desire to arrive at an equitable solution, then a fair adjustment may be made. When the mestere, in their 'statement,' say we claim and are resolved to assert, the right of every British subject to do what we (!) like with our own,' they appear to have forgotten that pro perty, or capital, has its duties as well as its rights; and that the rights of tho poor and the rights of the rich are reciprocal privileges ; the former being the condition no which the latter are enjoyed. As a proof of my sympathy for your cause, 1 beg to forward ten pounds to the fund of the Amalgamated Society of Working Engineers, etc., and to auto that, if a co-operative association be bleated, I shall ho prepared to take some shares in it.—l em, sir, young obediently, "Wit. " To Mr. Allan, Secretary of the Amalgamated Society." Reports were received from various branches, showing the members to be firm to their previous determination to uphold the movement; and the receipt of a large amount of contributions was announced. It Will also determined that 'public meeting in connexion with the movement should nest week be convened in the largest available building in the metropolis. THE AMAZON. SOUTHAMPTON, TVESDAY. Notwithstanding the most strenuous exertions of the Southampton Amazon Fund committee they experience the utmost difficulty in discovering the families and relatives of those persons who were lost in the Amazon. The Royal Mail Company's establishment do nut even retai n a li s t o f the crew ,• and even if they did it would not furnish infor mation of where the men resided when ashore. Although the loss of the Amazon has been daily proclaimed and noticed in every newspaper throughout the kingdom for the last fortnight, persons most deeply interested in the event who live in the vicinity of Southampton are even now igno rant of the calamity. This appears almost incredible, hut it is nevertheless true. It was only on Monday that the committee learnt that there was a widow with nine orphan children who had claims on them living at Der Leap, a few miles from Southampton, in the Nuw Forest. Thou sands of the wives and children of poor seamen cannot read or write, and thousands who can never enjoy the luxury of reading a newspaper. Means have been adopted to obtain information of the sufferers by the loss of the Amazon, by desiring the Southampton postmen to acquaint all those poor persons living in their districts, whom they may sus pect to have had felatives on board to attend at the Mail Company's offices, and give information, after which such information is handed ever to the committee. Many a poor creature who had a relative on board has received from the postman the first announcement of the calamity that has befallen her. It is believed that the committee will obtain complete information about the end of this week of the e xt en t of the chime on their bounty. There is net the least doubt that there will be a hundred orphans to pro vide fiir. The subscriptions amount at press nt to about 3,000'. The mayor of Southampton received yesterday an affecting letter from the family of Mr. Kerseboe, at Angers, in France, entreating to know whether that gentleman, who was one of the passengers, is amongst the saved or not. It is feared, from the madden of this gentleman'r cabin on board the Amazon, that he was one of the first on deck, and that he lost his Ile by the upsetting of the boats. Mr. Kerseboe was the gentleman concerned in the Duchess of Berry's appearance in France a few years since. The un fortunate gentleman was bound for Chagres and Cali fornia.

" Oentlemen,—ln reply ro your leter of the 17th in.t., I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty to acquaint you that an inveNtigation (independent of that now going on) into all the circumstances of the low of the Amazon wdl be made by the Board of Trade, with whom the duty of making such inquiry rests.-1 am, &c., " W. A. B. HAMILTON. "To Messrs. Nash and Nash, Colonial Agents, Westminster." The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Hand, despatched by order of the Admiralty to Brest, and subsequently to cruise in the bay, returned to Devonport yesterday, without bringing any further intelligence of the unfor tunate passengers and crew of the Amason. The Hecate sailed on the 14th, end made for Ushant. Having been, l as was supposed, within six miles of this point, blowing a gale, with a heavy south-west swell, she was obliged to heave-to all night. The next day, at two o'clock, made Ushant, and having taken a pilot on board, went into Brest, which she reached at 3 o'clock on the morning of the 17th. Tho passengers, as is known, had all lett for England. The boats of the Amason were in the dockyard at Brest. Commander Hand, having communicated with the British consul, in accordance with his instructions, pro• ceded into the Bay. where he cruised for two days, without falling in with anything having reference to the lost vessel. On Monday afternoon a large piece of a wreck was washed on shore at Bvrangeol beach, at the back of Pendennis Castle, Falmouth, and to draw it up above high water mark it occu pied 3 horses. On examination there can be no doubt of its having been a part of the Amason. Its length is about 30 feet, its breadth of five planks, stancheons of nine inches square, with ends for rabitting. The whole piece of wreck is straight, es if it formed originally apart of her bulwarks, or part of her paddle. box. The wood is charred. True AMAZON FUND.—Negotiations have been en tered into to obtain a perthrinance at Drury Lane Theatre under the most illustrious patronage for the benefit of the fund for the relief of sufferers by the loss of the Amazon.. MANSLAUGHTER. Last night Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at lit. Bartholomew's Hospital on the body of Mr. Thomas Mansell, aged 64, who for the last six years kept the Flying Home, Milton-street, Cripplegate, and ex pired from injuries he had received in a fall occasioned by • violent assault made upon him by a man now in custody, whilst in a state of intoxication, and who underwent an ex• emanation before the magistrate at Worship-street on Sa turday, and was reminded. Thee. Wcbb deposed to seeing deceased assaulted on Friday afternoon, in Wilson-street, Finsbury. The deceased endeavoured to ward off the blows ; and in the struggle he and his assailant fell, his right thigh being fractured by the fall; he was picked up, and conveyed to the hospital in a cab, and his assailant taken into cus tody, and conveyed to the station-house.—Mark Marks confirmed the previous witness.—Frederick Smith, house surgeon, deposed that the deceased, when brought to the hospital, was labouring under a compound fracture of the right thigh. Ho went ou very well until Sunday, when deliriwn tremens ensued, and the deceased gradually sunk, and expired yesterday morning. The post nwriens exami nation proved that the death was occasioned from the deli riam produced by the effects of the injuries. —Police constable Kench, of the GI division, who took the man into custody, stated that he bad given the name of Edward Powell.—The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter," and the coroner forthwith issued his warrant. A CANDIDATE FOR TRANSFORTATION.—A man named Dsudrinsont was on Saturday taken before the Tri bunal of Correctional Police, on the charge of rupture de ban. The President asked why he had left the residence assigned to him?—" I demand to be sent to Noukahiva," mid the prirener.—•' You do not reply to my question."— "Oh, I beg pardon; but I have got a cold. 1 quitted my residence to come to l'aris."—" You had no right to some to Paris."—" That is precisely why I came. But you must not suppose that I care about Paris. and I beg to be sent to Noukahiva."—" Well, if you will not reply to me, hold your tongue."—" Why did 1 COMO to Paris, you mak ? Because I saw a placard stuck up stating that those who might come to Paris, breaking their bay, should be sent to Africa; I should prefer Noukahiva, but Africa let it ho.

" More surveillance!" cried the prisoner. " Why 1 11 shall he tinder surveillance to the end of my der ! Rot at my age it is a bore. Come now, send me to Noukahiva.'"
