Tither never ban been a progressive, a generate,' or humane cause that has not been bonoorAl by the bestility of the Quarter/y Ree,eir. Indeed, a great liberal principle or aim cannot be Lid to b t fully re. commented to the eclightened portion of the public until it cwta forth stamped with the stigma of that retrospective period:eel. All who have been accustomed to remember the views which writers in the Quarterly have taken of French and of for , ign polities in general, must remember them to have beg n of that peculiarly superannuated ceste far behind I yen the rahtel torte% of the pre , ent generation. The Qi•irterly, in this respect, bas been ever half a century behind the iseaservatives themselves. It per°. rated for POLIONAC when °MOT and Louts rtittAers were the respected idols of I'EIL acd Of I)IeRAELT. And it has only row become reconciled to Louts Pointers and Omar, when events have proved their boasted wisdom to be imbecility, and their conservatism ignorance. We have to congratulate Gen. R tnowerz and the smatitutional statesmen of Prow= on not baying yet become 'he favourites of the quirkily. M. MAN- Tzuntl. is alone worthy of that honour ; bat not lentil that m*nister had betrayed the cause of Ger many, humbled the pride of his nation, condescended to mock at the sufferings of the Hessian constitutional ists for the diversion of SCH WA RZ ENBFACiI, and gone over bog and baggage to the ultra•monsrehiste who write in the Kreue.leitarry, an organ of more youth sad spirit, but no less ,dtra than the Quarterly. The writer of the German article in the recent number of this periodical adopts the same view and the same language, with respect to German affairs, that the Times has employed. It personifies Pron , ia as au individual, and represents every project of its statesmen, and every movement of its peo ple, as the object of selfish craft. There is no fl,ht that one may view history in this way. Lad it so happens that the French and other coon tries are apt to regard English history in this light. They teb us that England warred with the French revolution from jealousy of French greatness; that England emancipated her slaves to transfer power and wealth teem the west to the out, and that she esationes to put down slavery merely for selfish in tweets. The doctrines of free trade are in a similar manner attributed to a deep laid scheme on the part of English economists to ruin and impoverish foreign countries. We know how narrow are such views, and how ['bond such charges. We know that a nation is not the selfish machine that these sages suppose. We can see that countries, even in the hands of kings and courts, obey curt sin impulses, and start in certain directions from au inborn and a natural tendency far be thyond the calculations of statesmen. Ever s i nce e the great era of the Reformation which sprang up in North and West Germany, that region has sought protection and offered resistance against the power of that south-eastern portion of Germany, which remained firm in the tenets of catholicism and in the determination to impose absolutism of creed and of administration over the north and west. Sweden was the first power that led peon ;tent Germany in this struggle. With the great 0 usr.tvus e at lead expired. And the vacant plus was =Aurally and inevitably filled by Prussia. In this, for our part, we see neither guilt nor ambition. The empire was a confederation of princes, each with independent rights. And the rights of protestant freedom were more precious than any guaranteed by the old confederation. To bow to Austria and its supremely was virtually to sacrifice religions liberty. And Austrian pretensions were resisted by princes, or by leagues of princes, for the most virtuous and most noble of eSur2ll. But one would think, from the superannuated writ; in the Quarterly, that Geimany v sae vast absolute monarchy, the head of which was entitled to hereditary allegiance, and that the efforts of Prussia or of Saxony to secure its rights, its independence, and the balance of power upon which they depended, were nothing lets than high treason. The wars of FILIDEILICK the GREAT appear in the microscope of this philosopher of histyry a machination like that of ToierrLawooh. All this is monstrous absurdity. Germany is parti tioned into different dynasties, conflicting interests, mutual rights. Its dynasties and people first united for common defence against pagan and barbarous in vaders. There was an emperor elected for general federal purposes. Bat such a dignity was found in process of time so cumbersome and inoperative, so in capable of even the defence of the country, that it was set aside by common consent. The Em. eror of 011MANT abdicated at the very moment when he was fully proved to be utterly powerless to defend Ger many. And Prussia, in adopting a separate policy with Bard to Russia or to Frage., is no more to be with treason than the United States are to be unfree& for following the policy and making tbe alliances they please. What renders this imperative on Prussia, and what will render it again so, was the fact that Austria had ceased to be a German state, with dominions extend ing nearly to the mouth of the Danube and with a Sclavonic population beyond and around its capital. With a great portion of Italy supplying its revenues and demanding its can, Austria had interests to defend and a policy to follow, that was in nowise German. What had Prussia or North Germany to do with Italian politics, with the line of the Adige or the Add& ? Was it to become the foe of France for regions as remote from it in political interest ea is physical distance? If the Italian pos sessions of Austria form a foreign interest, so Its prelim's' on the Lower Danube are equally stranger to German sympathies or anxieties. Austria may have quarrels in connection will France for the one, with Russia for the other. Bat what is all this to norther' and Protestant Germany ? Must it war to prop up the tottering despotism of the Pore? With site serail millions of German subjects, and scores of millioosei non-German subjects, Austria is in fact not a Gera power. Her connexion with Germany has never brought Germany one advantage. When Austria held the nominal empire, its utmost efforts were sea-' ploped to crush the reformers, to b.rter away the Lew Countries, to betray and surrender the cities and pre. viaoss on the Rhine to France. From first to bet. Austria has lain upon Germany like an incubus, THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 15, 1851. tributions to the board,indicitine considerable apathy towards its object." In • word, Sunday schools are almost all that can be hoped from these large numbers r which constitute the main body of dissent., many of whom were, we are sorry to see, in favour of the voluntary principle in education, from the conviction that education is hostile to them, that ignorance is a safeguard, and consequently that voluntaryism must be supported, as the next best synonyms to ignorance. Cardinal WISEMAN himself could propound no motives more worthy than these of the cleicer and the dark ages. There cur be very few men amon:st the dissenters or voluntaries, who would not at once reject such cot.- cituiono, such motives, or such principles as these. They have bat to be stated in order to be scouted. But they prevail and influence, by being muttered, and hinted, and half felt, and still more from lading acted upon without being examined or clor•ely looked at. Now is the time, however, for all men to consider how they may affect and promote the great cause of popular education, for stay it or prevent it, or confine it to individual efforts, they no longs r can. The liberal men of Lancashire have come forward, and united, and discussed, and put together the machinery of one of their powerful asseciations. Deep eine g to reconcile contending sect s in any religious scheme, tney propounded a Our of complete unfree- Whin education. Subscriptions and arthesion have poured in neon them. And now in the eleventh hour when the movement threatens to become a national one, some churchmen awaken and propour d, we will not say, • rival plan, but a compromise be tween churchmen and non-churchmen. Of this scheme, coming from an influential quar ter, we have spoken in terms of approbation. And indeed applied to such a town as Manchester, it is the readiest way of filling up deficiencies without waiting, as we might long wait, for a new educational structure. The bases of the scheme which we have already enumerated are popular and excellent, approachirg nearly to the Lancashire and American plan; ncr can we acknowledge the probe bail of any of the dire results which the Manchester Examiner dreads and foreshadows. At all events, there is central ground for discussion, negotiation, consideration ; and we trust that the secalirs will cot reject so liberal an advance. The more conservative fraction of the Manchester citizeLoWilied coming forward with that gt se cons rivalry which we have described as es d.sirable. The scheme of the public library for the working classes of Manchester is a noble one, even if some of the funds, taken from the poor rate-, have not been acquired in the most constitutional or legal manner. With this library proji et has been coupled the educa tional one; and the Bishop of MANCHESTER, who at first held aloof from the latter, gave his adhesion and advice when speaking at the library meeting. It is plain, indeed, from the words of the bishop, as well as from the letter of Sir KAYE SILUTTLEWOETII, which we published, that both the government and liberal churchmen are ready to favour a compromise, which may lead to some enlarged system of national education. No party feeling, we feel certain, will prevent the liberals of Manchester from giving their beet and most generous consideration to this scheme. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY, 6.30, rat. Lanjuinsis has jest read his report. It steers clear of all direct mention of the executive poser, and attacks only the minions. It passes in review the seditious cries at Satory, the incident of General Neumayer's dismissal, the language of the Elysean press, and the dismissal of General Chan gamier. The committee sees in all these acts a s. - ries of aggressions, which have justly awakened the susceptibility of the Assembly. The conclusions of the report are as f Howe : "Two members have proposed a pure and simple order of the day, without approbation of the facts anterior to the message, but without considering that these acts have justified a refusal of supper , "'three members were ready to join in a vote of general want of confidence, but refuse to motive it upon an act which has put an end to an exorbitant ewer, against which they always protests d. " Six members have proposed a formula of want of confidence, founded upon the misconstruction by the ministers of the constitutional condition of relations between the two powers." Eight members were against seven in favour of a resolution thus conceived : "The National Assembly, while acknowledging that the executive power has made use of an incontestible right, but blaming the use which the actual cabinet have made of this right, declares that the former commander-in-chief has preserved all the esteem and confidence which the Assembly testified towards him in its vote of January 3." On this last formula the Assembly pronounced urgency, and adjourned the debate till to-morrow. The nomination of M. Lanjuinais as reporter of the committee on M. de Itemusat's motion lead to the expectation of a more hostile firm in the com position of the motived order of the day than was lately hoped. M. Lanjuinais is in fact, the intimate friend of 111. Demme, whose speech in the Assembly's debate was the most violent and harsh of all. Meanwhile it was reported from other quarters that the committee would propose to the National Assembly to recognise the right of the executive power to dismiss General Changarnier, but to blame the exercise of this right in direct opposition to the sentiments of the parliamentary majority. The expression of a hope was added for the re-establishment of a good understanding. Public attention has been,up to the present moment, held in suspense by the expectation of the measures to be proposed by the extraordinary committee. The effect produced by the distribution of the minutes of the Committee of Permanence has been, as was foreseen, feeble in the extreme. Tho debates in the committee charged to examine M. de Remusat's motion have turned, according to the most probable reports, on the form of a motived order of the day. All measures of a more energetic kind have been unanimously dropped, as leading directly to revolution. It seems very doubtful whether a vote of thanks to General Changarnier, founded upon the check which he off,red during the recess to imperialist intrigues, as well as upon his repression of socialist erneutes, would obtain a majority in the Assembly, ao strong is the tendency, even in those who most de plore the removal of this general, to condemn any course calculated to widen and aggravate the breach existing between the powers. As for the rumours of a message to the President, proclamation to the people, committee of inquiry, and such violent mea sures, they are totally destitute of foundation. Allele has desisted from hie appeal against his sen tence of imprisonment. In the letter which announces this resolution, he declares himself the instrument and victim of an intrigue conducted by M. Yon. He is about to publish a pamphlet dedicated to the irascible questor of the Assembly, M. Base. The committee on privilege has decided the creditor cannot prosecute his debtor before having obtained the authorisation of the Assembly. This having been given, the representative loses his Neat unless he discharges his debt within three month,. The Mu,,iteur contains an order of the day ad dressed by the new Minister of War to the army, which presents no material point of difference from that of General Baragny d'Hilliers. Yesterday the President paid a second visit to the Exhibition of Pictures. The Assembly voted in its sitting of to-day, on the second deliberation, the bill calling out 80,000 men of the class of 18,50, for the recruitment of the forces by sea and land. Then it agreed to take into consi deration the motion of M. Fouquier d'Heronel rela tive to the admission of foreign corn. The proposition of M. Coltavru to deprive the public prosecutor of the right of rejecting jurymen, and to confine the exercise of that privilege to the defendant, was thrown out for the previous question. The committee for the Railway of the West heard yesterday the delegates of the companies. It ap pointed a sub-committee, consisting of MM. Gouin Fremy, G. de Beanmout, de Mouthy, and de St. Beuve, to examine the propositions of the companies. The reduction of the rate of interest on Treasury Bonds, which some have considered as an artful dodge of M. Fould, to give confidence in the paconiary resources of the government, seems in reality founded upon the comparative abundance of money and proeFerens state cf the exchequer. The augmentation of the taxes for the month of December is stated, on official authority, to amount to four-and-a-half millions of francs, when compared with the corresponding re- sults of last year. The savings balks deposits, and revenues of the public establishments and of the cum 'manes, show a commensurate inciease. Aed to these resoorcei the sale of the Renter recently adjudicated, and the treasury wi'l appear to be in a state which justifies the reduction of that part of the floating debt which is payable at fixed dates. .1 Lou thwarting its development, wasting its res.— giving away its territories, rit erly preventing its nutty, and in fact nullifying it as a cation. Prussia has endeavoured, with smaller means and humbler pretensions, to fill the part that Austria might have filled, and in fact would have filled, bad she bad the great first quality of being German. Prussia in the first place created a counterpoise to Austria in the west. She with this protected the independence of the minor pricers. She has acted as a bar to the etcreach merits of Russia on one side as of France on the other. In the great effort of flinging off the French yoke, Austria changed the colours ar.d the attitude of her armies; but Prussia routed Germany, and excited that national sentiment and enthusiasm without which not all the legions nor the strategy of Vienna and St. Petersburg would have overthrown NAPOLEON. Since 1815 the statesmen of Piussia proposed to Austria and to the att all the measures of progress that might unite and develop the country. Overawed by the two despotic courts, it durst not provoke them then by developing constitutional governmen , , any mere than it durst provoke them now by maintaining it, but every principle of material progress, of commercial unity, of a federal tribunal, of a Gaines military I system—all these were proposed and re-proposed to the Diet and to Austria, year after year. And it was only when Austria absolutely refused to stir in them, that Prussia undertook alone to develop the Z mein. That Prussia has been the progressive, Austria the retrograde power, the annals of ea• h year amply prove. Ar.d that they will still cou'inue so, despite the retrogression of the =meet, will infallibly be seen. Such movements and such policy do not, in fact, depend on men. STADION was a liberal man and an acute minister; but despite of STADION, Austria has passed a sponge over ber constitution, and established a despotism, federal and individual. MANTRUPPEL is • retrograde and despotic minister, and he will thy, no doubt, to put down the Prussian constitution, end subject Prussia itself to some legislative power, to be exercised by princely delegates at Frankfort. But the attempt will prove v in. North Germany cannot be put under an extinguisher, no more than Sclavonia rendered a shinier; and a liberal light to guide Get many in the way of constitutionalism. As to ItADOWITZ and FREDERICK WILLIAM, both, we believe, hove the full knowledge and per ception of the invincible tendencies of the country and of the age. Itabowlrr was for following out the principles of progress, end for sticking to them even at the risk of war. the King would not undergo the risk. The fate of CHARLES ALBERT was before his eyes. He saw Austria and ltuisia leagued against him with potent armies. lie had neither the skill nor courage to head his own army, nor confidence in any com mander. He has yielded with pusillanimity and with a degree ot humiliation likely to prove fatal to hie dynasty and to Prussia itself. But this matters little. The great north German cause, though abandoned for the time, though trodden down with ignominy in Holstein and in Hesse, survives rot the lees and will find champions within or without Prussia. And northern lll.teimen, be they Rahowirrzes or FREDE RICK WILLIAMS, will be forced into that inevitable al ternative of resistance to Austria, to despotism, and to the extinction of German civilisation by Sarmatian barbarism, which is ser deist the age, and the ' progress of events. When these new events take place, the limes, or i.s writers of that day, will pat on their spectacles and put forth their feelers, and alter having arrived at the opinion of which side was lik Ay to prevail for the time, they will abet tbat side in the belief that their readers will always trust those who know best to choose the winning side. The Qiureteely Resiew, if such& journal then exists, will not imitate this eaatious prescience of the diurnal press. It will merely labour to discover what were the opinions which the ghosts of the last century might entertain of the policy ot this; and it will, as in the article we have alluded to, treat the world to posthumous judgments on passicg events. [We had written this ➢revious to receiving the new ram• ber of the Edinburgh Ervin/4 which contains en admirable article on Radovits sad Pumas.) ONE cannot but be sorry to be indebted to rivalry for advancement in such sacred questions as those of religion and education. But unfortunately experi ence shows that education makes little progress, and th►t religion itself is very apt to slumber, unless when stirred by antagonism and emulation. It cannot be said, indeed, that such antagonism is the beat pro motant for either religious ideas or educational efforts. It has driven the one too often into the extravagance of theological hatred, and narrowed the other within the pious ignorance of monkdom. If, however, there is a rivalry of exclusiveness and bigotry, a species bat too prevalent heretofore, there is also a more generous kind of rivalry, that of libe ralism and comprehensiveness. And it is in a great degree this better kind of rivalry which has jest dis played itself in Manchester between the patrons of exclusively secular, and of mitigated religious edu cation. We should have no hesitation which to prefer, were parliament and populu opinion an opea high road, and not a very narrow one, obstructed by prejudices and party. To make the acquirement of the means of receiving and communicating knowledge a differ ent task from the instilment of principles, would, we think, be of great advantage to the dh•velopment of religious belief, at least of protestant belief. But in ' flnential minds think otherwise ;andso strong runs the current at present of moral and religious conserva tism, that there never was an epoei, perhaps, when a system of at owe purely eecular and statutory educa tion would be less likely either to wind by concilia tion, or force by even wealth and numbers, its way through parliament. It was therefore that we hailed with much, though with not nnmiugled satisfaction, the proposals of several members of the Manchester clergy, to agree to a plan of education based on the large popular principle of a general rate, lay control through the municipal body, and free schools, in which no dis tinctive religious creed or formnlary should be taught. The latter rule might indeed be difficult to reduce to practice. But nothing of the kind is impossible, when people are animated by a sincere desire to remove difficulties, not to raise them. In any scheme likely to become national or largely useful, great concessions must be made by el the parties that occupy different camps, with respect to religious and educational questions. Admitting the justice of the objections made by the purely seculars to there systems, in which state and church acquire ascendancy. objections so ably stated in the last num ber of the 'Westminster Review, still we agree with ' Mr. COBDEN, that a puritanical adhesion to the werd secular, or an absolute prohibition of the Bible in free schools, would be injurious, as raising unjust suspicion, for the purpose of attaining no important aim. The Bible may not be the best horn-book, but the Bible conveys secu lar, as well as religioas information. It is history, it is morality, it is poetry. And if sect, can agree upon the use of the holy scriptures in schools, it would be monstrous arrogance to pre vent them. If the " seculars" mast cease to object to books, or to the great book of religions history teing made part of popular education, those of the voluntaries, who object to state aid or public provision for educa tion as interfering with private judgment, must abate of that narrow opposition, which their own co-religionists tell them can only in effect be to throw the entire machinery and influence of education into the hands of state and church. The Manchester Eirovnimer, , examining the project of Mr. Ricusote, takes this view, lad pe rceiving clearly that something mast and will be done in founding institutions for popu lar education, it adjures Mr. BAINZS and his party to desist from their blind opposition, and from the belief that even Lancashire and Yorkshire will be content to leave its population at the mercy of volun tary efforts foe education. If arguments were wanting to illustrate the great deficiency of the principle of voluntary education, they would be found in abundance In the " Congre gational Year-book "just published, in which, although sneak+ education, and any education ease that given by clergy, is denounced, it is admitted throughout that not only are the means of education wanting, but the very principle is objected to by many. "Should it be objected to their demands for funds," says the Congregational Board," that congregational lets do not retain in their ranks the educated classes, and that education does not seem to favour them ? ' The report then gots on to combat such a prejudice, o f which, however, it admits the existmce. It speaks of the" comparatively small amount of con- PARIS. J. 14.

GERMANY. An agreement has been come to between the Staatholderate and the two commissioner/. By a proclamation of the former is appears that all the demands of the commissioners have been uncon ditionally acquiesced in. Hostilities are to be at once discontinued, and the rights of the cowry placed under the protection of the German Diet. One tele graphic despatch says that the Austrian army are to discontinue their march, and another that Austrian troops are to ocmpy Holstein. The Austrian, Prus sian, and Russian monarchs will shortly, it is affirmed, meet at Dresdeo. The old Diet is to be re-established, we are told, with very slight modifications, which sup poses the cotsent of Pluiaia.; Austria's plan of a Zoll Union is the tame as that which Was approved of by all the German rates, with the exception of Bruns wick. Oa the footing of this plan she is ready to treat with Prussia on the subject; and, it Prussia refuses to do so, she will send deputies to the Zollve rein Congress which is to meet at Dresden next February. Our correspondent writes as follows: DRESDEN, JAN. 10. Herr von Mantenffel has reappeared in Dresden. Hs arrived this al:ernoon, early enough to be present at the third general sitting of the conferences, and afterwards to partake of the hospitality of his col league in the representation of Prussia, Count Alvena ',ben, who entertained at dinner most of the great men at present in this city. What was done or said in the general sitting of the plenipotentiaries remains, as urinal, a secret; but it is known that the section or commission in trade na vigation, &c., will not meet again until the 20th cr 22nd of the month. The sittings have been adjourned, in order to give time for the fu.fill meat of invitations which have been issued to all the governments of Germany to send to Dresden practical men, acquainted with ell the details of the mercantile and manufacturing industries of each state, who are to assist the political plenipotentiaries with their advice on the simplest commercial questiots, all ac quaintance with which the majority of Germs poli ticians have hitherto avoided with such ill-starred dexterity. I learn that the Austrian government intend to despatch as many troops into Holstein as they can. The army under Legeditsch will be followed by another «pally numerous, which is now waiting for orders to march, and which will pass through this city. Its numbers are stated at between sixteen and twenty thousand men. Ido not pronounce my own opinion alone, but that of many 'practical and sensible men, when I rate I do not believe that the Austrians will not leave Holstein as readily as they have entered it. The world has much to learn yet of the Austrian plans. Hesse Cassel and Holstein are not the sole points to which their military plans are or were directed. It is rumoured abroad that the Austrian government desired to disiccate a large force in Oldenburg aid Brunswick ; to punish the former for its pertinacious adherence to the Zoll verein, and the latter for its refusal to permit the pas sage of the Austrians on their road to Holstein. I have just learned that Manteuffel returns to Berlin on Sunday morning, and that Prince Schwarzen berg will not remain much longer in Dresden. A special train will carry him when he returns from Dresden to Prague. This will be the first time that this railway will be used throughout.

LEATII OF A PAUPER AT HETWOOD.—VOTE OF CIINSURI Ott Tel BURT BOARD or GUARDTANS. —On Thursday morning lass en adjourned inquest on the body of ltdmund Weld, aged 71, who died in the Bury workhouse on the 16th tilt, was held at 11 , -yword. Oa the 11th ult. deceased fractured his thigh, sad on the 15th was removed to the Bury workhouse, where he was attended by Mr. one of the medical officers of the WIWI!! Hs died the day following. The surgeons who made the post swollen examination gave it u their opinion that deceased had died of a bed sore. Mr. Woodcock, clerk to the board of guardians, attended, and from a letter he had sent to Mr. Hicxman, it appeared he intended to show that the deceased died, not for want of a water bed, or Hooper's water cushion, but frtm injudicious nut meat of the medical officer. Several experienced surgeons were examined, and the inquiry pr.ved to be a very long ore. It was admitted that a water cutlithi might have assisted in deceond's recovery, but it eppeared there had been great neglect in not carrying out the orders of the surgeon. The jury nturned the following verdict: "It is the opinion of the jury that Edmund Wild died from bed sotcs; but must accompany that verdict with the censure of the jury upon the guardian, for want of proper atten tion to the deceased in not forwarding such means as in the opinion of the medical officer ware eonaidered essential for obviating, or endeavouring to make his disease less pain ful or fatal."

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE PAST WEEK, The official report says: In the week ending last Saturday, 1,023 deaths were registered in the districts of the metropolis. In the corresponding weeks of the ten years (1841-50), the average was 1,162; compared with which the present return exhibits a favourable resell. And if it could be safely assisted, notwithataeding the effects of various epidemics, that the population has increased yearly at the rate of 1.55 per cent. (the annual rate of increase observed in London between the two otr.susts of 1831 and 1841) and the above average were proportioaalty augmented, the com parison would show the public health of the week in a still more satisfactory point of view. But it will be found on elimination that, in five out of the ten corresponding weeks, the returns differ little from that of last week, or fail much beeew it, whilst an excessive morality presses on other parts of the series, the deaths rising to 1,450 at one period, when iefluensa was on the wane, at another, when cholera load broken out In Diouet's institution, and thus swelling the aceeunt above what an ge state of health would produce. The lent week exhibits a marked improvement on the first week of the year, chi, fiy in the decline of fever and the cid. deeeies to whlcn children are subj. ci, hut ilea in Ine diminished dream of diseases of the respiratory organs. In the previous week the deaths from epidemic, in the aggregate, were 239, in the lost they were 173; and to take parliculer maladies in this claw, there were an the former week, fro. senall.p , k, measles, scarlatina, and hooping cough, 28, 29, 14, and al, respectively; in the last week there were 16, 21, IG, 43; aearia•ina alone, which however is uow less fatcl than usual, not showing a decrease. Typhus has declined in the two weeks from 43 to 35 ; erysipelas from 14 to 2. Amongst complaint, whica assume an epidemic &semester, influenze alone @hews any tendency to inertias ; it has carried off 9 persons in the week, though it usually reaches lees than half that number. In connexion with three cases of typhus, which proved total in three different parts of the metropolis, the registrars call attention in their notes to the circumstances in which these events cccurred, here %VitTy;;;FoTrcrowded court," which had been repeat e,ly complained of as the nursery of disease; at another place, " miserable huts," which had been constructed with out regard to comfort or decency ; and in the third sate, • small b tck room is deseribed, where sir. persons bad been and into which sir cou!cl not penetrate either by mew of the chimney or other channel. Fatal eases sliming from affections of the respiratory organs (exclusive of hopping cough ant ,phthisis) are diminished from 321 in the former weck,to 27a in the last; !Ind amongst these, laryngitis from 11 to 4, bronchitis from 152 to 130, pneumonia from 101 to 95, and asthma from 37 to 27. In the same period, phthisis exhibits a decrease from 147 to 123. Oa the 7th of January, in St. Gilessin-the Fields. at the Union Workhouse, a woman, who had been a t, died, as stated in the medical certificate, from " old age and decay,' alter having reached the extraordinary age of 105 years. Mr. Faulkner, the registrar, lades " this woman retained full possession of all her faculties t:11 within a fortnight of her ' It is not stated, as is desirable is such cases, whether so singular a fact rests on the authority of a parish register or other sufficient evidence. The births of 792 beta and 783 girls, in all, 1,580 children, were registered in the week. The go of six cones ponding weeks in 1945-60 was I,;s-)6. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT COWLAIRIL—TRIAL AND ACQUITTAL or Tux PRIM/MM.—The Minh Court of Justiciary of Seotland sat on the 10.. h inst., for the trial of Jatocs Cardel!, John °Millar, John Fulton, and Jame§ Brown, enginemen and guests in the employment of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company. The indictment set out the specific charge against each of the traverser' re spectively, and concluding with averring that, by reason of cue misconduct and culpable neglect of the accused, John Morrison, Jean Lennox, Janet ld'Artkur ' Walter Lennox, jun., and George Middleton, passengers by cud railway train, were mortally injured, and afterwards died. The prosecution wet conducted by the Solicitor-General and the prisoners pleaded not guilty. There was a large attendance of witnesses, most of whom deposed to the facts, with which the public have been made already acquainted by the reports of the accident as published in the news papers. At the close of the evidence, which did not appear sufficiently strong to warrant a verdi ct of guilty against the prisoners, the Solicitor General said that they had felt it to be their duty, on the part of the crown, to bring this matter to trial, The evidence for the prosecution had now been led; nod while, on one hand, they thought that ft was of such a character as fully justified the course which they had taken, he thought that it would alas justify them in taking the course which he was now about to do—v.s., that of withdrawing the charge libelled against all the panels. And he Kell so on this plain ground, that although, it might be quite true that, as regarded the literal and technical cons.ruction of the rules upon the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, he might he able to make out a case against some or all of the panels, yet he could not help feeling that the point had now been reduced to so very narrow a compass, and that the confusion upon the line was so very great, that it would, in his opinion, be hardly ri,rbt to go to a jury and ask for a verdict at their band.; and, therefore, feeling that the interests of the public by the trial, so far as it bad proceeded, had been fully secured, he thought he was warranted in passing from the charge against all the parties at the bar. These observations ware followed up by a very impressive address from Lord Justice Clerk, fully approving the course taken by the crown, when the jury returned a verdict of " Not Guilty" in the case of all the panels, who were thereupon dis charged from the bar. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SOLICITOR.—Oa Monday at Abingdon, an inquest was held, to irquire into the death of Mr.. Thomas Fraukum, solicitor, and for many years clerk to the magistrates in that tows. It seemed, that on Friday 1 the 20th ult., the deceased, with a Mr. Nicholls, went in a dog cart to Lechlade, Gloucestershire, accompanied on the way by Mr. B. Harris, draper, and his servant, who were in another vehicle. When the business which took the parties to Lechlade was concluded, they dined and drank mode rately, and returned from there about seven o'clock in the evening. On their way home they stopped at Faringdon, and Putty Fevre, at both of which places they had refresh ments, not sueltient however, it was alleged to produce in toxication. It was about ten o'clock when they left Posey Furze, and when between that place and Kingston Bag , poise, Mr. Mich°ire horse swerved from the road and went up a lye lane, when Mr. Harris passed him, and the former on getting into the road again w►ipped his horse, end passed the other vehicle at a gallop, and then his horse slackened his pace, and Mr. Harris again paned him, sad they kept in that position at the rate of about I 2 miles an hour until on coming to a part of th road where some heaps of stone were placed at the side for repairs, the vehicle of Mr. Nicholl's came in contact with them, and threw both him and Mr. Frankum out violently, and it was subsequently found that the thigh of the deceased was hectored by the fall. The coroner ordered apost ',who) examination to be made, and the medical evidence showed that death ensued directly from COOpetioll of the brain. The jury returned a verdict of aczidental death.

THE lAJTY ON HOPS-MEETING AT STAPLEHURST. Oa Satui day last a numerous meeting of the lead ing hop growlrs of Mt and Bose:, e d hr eiredar, was held at the Railway Hotel, Stapleharat, Cu the subject of the hop &visa Amon, those present were the Earl of liomnry, Sir E.

Mr. Kell attended as honorary secretary. - Mr. PUNISETT having been called to the chair, cad be was persuaded the time bad arrived when the great go...ties of the Lop duty should be brought to some kind of This meeting reas called by circulan sent out by Mr. Kell, en the part of the Weald of Kent and 84.11 X Committee, and higneelt as ebsirmen of a former committee. He had received several lettere from parties used, to Word The chairman west no to sty there were two courses open to them. Om was to peti.ion pariiament for a repeal of the war duty and 5 per cent.; the other was to petition parliament for a committee to inquire into the 'tote of the bop planters. If the (mare were carried the lat.er would he considered unce-.lreary, since if they bad made up their minds es to the bast remedy for their grievance, it was absurd to go to parliament to point one out for them. Heeides, the Boum of Commons might have a very d:gerent notion of what would be the beet remedy for th jr• c,mplrin , e from what they then:melees en:malarial. Ile thoovht it would be advisable, in the first place, to rrii%e to e resolu tion to petition parliament to re,tice the duty on hope to ld. per ib., for that war whet they really meant. Ile would War, thL matter in their Lands, urging them to lay and do nothkg to itrerrupt the unanimity ',hie:: had at length been brought about, In cedar that uaicy ct ucaon be satsuma. (Cheer] lir.

Mr. E:cy cm ch•lo.l by that a ta.morial be riot t, the La.'s of the Treasury, praying for a repeal of the war duty and the pa ant. The CHAIRMAN said this rcialulion wesli not be Striay is T;i111111C ; with the object. far wh:eh the me Et!rg was ea:led; but it would br, if, ins:ead of We 14ttlt of the Treasury, the prtitioa wto addressed to the li9ese of Ournarnt. lie presumed that wtala wake uo dificitcoe to Mr. Evy Mr. ELVY.-011, yes ; it makes all the difference. Ile would be very sorry to petition the Moose of Common,. The Earl of ROMNEY 0' seared that they had no t 'IO:C3. If the war duty was to be repealed, thoy must go to the II of Commas. Mr. ELVY said in that cue he would withdraw his motios. Mr. HOLDING (Peckham), who had risen to second Mr. Elve3's mottos, begged :o make a few observations. He would tdd.it that he bad ON red his opinion. (Cheers.) Ile did now think tt.at the planter was enti.led to a rectal of the war duty. and for this reason, they had lost three parts out of four of the protection they formerly p Awned. At the same time, he thought :here woe gnat dang rot theie losing th: protection they sti I nod, by going to parliament. The great eask:r.ty of the 11. use of Comm ris were ft,: • trona*, sod the protectionist members kn. w little of the hop duty, and eared little (or the hop is . ..inters. ILL merefere did not think it safe to ge to parlismaat without the sanction or support of ministers. Mr. BERESFORD ROPE, DI P., said their excellent frieud had sts.ed en objection to going to parliament, which was like the cast of the gentleman alto r.sole.drot t 0 po into the water till he learned to swim. (Cheers sad laughter.) He was for not going to parliament nate. he had secured the friendly MA art the raiment, but the best way to make a friend of the ministers in parliament was to make him afraid of as. (eh,. tr.) He (Mr Ili-pe) was not such a believer in the immaculate virture of any minister—whig, tory, or radical, freerrader or port ctiontet— as to hope to mate a friend of him in a mitten of this Rind, unless he was shown that it was Lis Interest to be co. They ware now embarking in a nouns of agitation, just as much as they did in Ireland. only in n more legitimate way ant (or a more reuonatee ebjeet. They were agitating strainq • grievance—a moat tiejust and oppressive grievance—which, if they would not be considered the most despicable ot men, they must b, deirreffined to rid themselves of. (Cheers.) They must begin a battle fur it. They might no: get it this session or my bat they would be sowing the seeds of • movement whic h would eventuslly rid the hop district. of this unjust and oppressive barthen. (Lend cheers.) What happened when they sent deputations to the minister? They went to Downing-street—were received very kincl'y —chairs enough far the whole party—Chancellor of the Exchequer very kind, but unfrrtunately he coneot erect what we sek, and we slink away with our tails br • twee n ma legs to mike the best story we can to those who lend us. (Lsueiter.) The matter, in short, lay in a nutshell. There were 52 oinneles, of which mile four were hop Cluo , ie.. The government say then are four to torty eight, and these four, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and W. nester, may be at the bottom of the sea for aught they cure. But we toon't be at the bottom of the sec (Lead them.) We wilt make the government attend to us. Lock at what they did with the brick duty, and what they are mid to be about to do with the window tax. Their conduct is just • bidding far popularity, and we must stir this hop duty quesiien till we make them see that attention to ft must be a part of that bidding for popularity. (Cheers.) We mast do this by a parliamentary struggle. All elsi—this going to the Chsn cell r ot the Exchequer—is but " leather and prunella." Let es agitate till the name of a hop-grower shall bo • regular bore to them. Bluish alt your miserable contentions about free trade and protection—hers we are neither free-traders nor protec.ioniits, but Kentish hop planters. Let us now act nni eilly likely men, cud boldly go to gunmen*, lay oar case heists it, and demand a repeal of the war duty and 5 per cent. Tee hon. member concluded by moving u reso lution to this effect. and sat down a.o islet loud cad continued cheers. Mr. Seem , seeonded the resolution. L rid ROMNEY wished to ask eau question. It had been very truly sail that the Mule of COIII2IOIII was not very conversant with the hop question. Was intended by this resolution to ask for a committee to which the facts and ar 'cameo's bearing on this question might be submitte I ? The CHAIRMAN thought the resolution went to isle for • fixed remedy, and one which alone would satisfy them. Mr. ELVY thought Mr. Hope had given the very best reason for not going to the House of Commons—namely, that the hop interest was but as four in fifty-two. lie feared an applicalon to parliament would be fatal to their remaining protection. Mr. JEREMIAH SMITH thought Mr. Hope had given oho very beet reasons 'or going into parliament. They had nothing to blink; their object was honest and straight forward. He was convinced if their position was under stood by piriamatt they should receive rather more than lees protection. Aster a good deal of conversational discussion on this point, Mr. T. L. HODGES congratulated the meeting on the unanimity which hid been obtained en far as reenacted a repeal of the war duty and 5 per cent. Ile apprehended that there would be parochial Petitions, on which he or some other member would found • motion for a committee, which could not report till the (nil of the station. So that it was • not to be expected that any relief could be obtained till 1852. He had no desire to disturb the unanimity of the meeting, but he must state that his objections to the con tinuance of the excise laws at all was as Wrong es ever. If they attained their present object they would not be satisfied—they could not be—because the vicious principle still remained. I give you fair warning, said the hon. member,—you seem all united in favour of it, and I will not oppose you, but I warn you, it will be no remedy— you will be in as great a difficulty as every, from the depre ciation in the value of your commodity, which must always result from the collection of the duty. And that was my object in suggesting another course, which would give go vernment 1500001. a year without expense, and the only objection to the adoption of which is we cannot agree among ourselves. I do not come here to rein any opposition, bat to enter my protest splint this being considered the remedy ter your difficulties. After some further discussion Mr. Hope's resolution was put, and carried by a large majority. Mr. J. SMITH then moved that the members for the hop districts be requested to take charge of the patitione, and to obtain • committee of the House of Commons to investigate the case of the hop planters. Mr. HILDER seconded the mttioa. Mr. J. MONCKTON thought they were putting the cart before horse. They had decided upon asking for • specific remedy, and then they asked for a committee of inquiry. Mr. GOLDING a ould take the liberty of telling Mr. Smith what many there did not seem to know, and what they were very ignorant, if they did not know—namely, why the planters were in their present condition. It was because the plantation was too large. (Disapprobation.) The remedy was in their own hands. (Here the interruption was re doubled ; cries of " Question.") The CHAIRMAN thought Mr. Golding's observations were fairly challenged by Mr. Smith's; bat still it was for the meeting to say whether it would hear this discussion. Mr. GOLDINO.—Mr. Hope never touched on the main point. We have now • protection of 21. 55.; if we go to the House of Commons, we shall have a free trade in hops. (Question.) CHAIRMAN.—This is distinctly the queetion. Mr. GOLDINO.—If you go to the House of Commons ou'll have free trade. I've heard Mr. Hodges say as much. I'll join you as far as I can, but not to endanger our protec tion. We don't want free trade. It don't signify about repealing the duty if we over produce. The county of Sussex had better by half set to and grub up half their hops —(disapprobation)—and we do the same. (Hear.) But all the time we over-produce and glut the market there will be these difficulties. It is all nonsense to talk about our labourers. Let us talk of ourselves. We over-produce and Injure ourselves. The CHAIRMAN said they should be very happy to hear the sentiments of the hon. member for East Kent (Mr. Diodes) on the question. Kr. DERDES said he had not attended there to express nay opinion, but to listen to the opinions of the hop growers, M enable him to arrive at a correct judgment. He confessed he had great doubts as to the prudence of an application to the House of Commons. He thought there was the greaten danger of such an application being met with the remark—" You are protected beyond another clese ; I take care what you are about, or you will lose it all." (Hear, hear.) He had heard It said on • former aseasion, by • distinguished member of parliament, " What do you come here for? Mind what you are about— I you are living in a glass house." He (Mr. Deedes) merely stated this as a caution. Ignorant as members of the Home of Commons might be on the subject of bop growing, they had termed an opinion, and were decidly disinclined to go further in giving relief. He doubted whether a govern:
