TO OUR In sonsequease of the absorption of space by the reports of proceedings in Parliament, the Proprietors have determined to issue a DOUBLE NUMBER ea SATURDAYS, so as to prevent the postpone ment of interesting matter. No change will take plies in the price. The SIXTH DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will appear ON SATURDAY NEXT, March 21. Ws directed attention the other day to the Report of the Cosnmiesioners sent by Lord PAN MUM to inquire into the foreign systems of military education, and to the remarkable contrast which exists between those systems and that pursued in this country. We were glad to observe that Mr. Pau expressed his determination, should he have a seat in the next Parliament, to bring the subject before the Howe of Commons, and we trust that, if the Government fail to do their duty in this matter, Mr. Pala may receive the aid of such men as Sir Ds LACY blare, Sir WILLIAM WILLIAMS of Kam 1 and of General COMM:4VMM, in urging Military Reform. It is, indeed, Namely possible to rapped* that a Government should put the country to the ex pense of sending out this Commission of Inquiry toe the sole purpose of *wing its smelts ; and yet we cod= that if the natter is kit ia the hands of seek an 'Said antemsten se Mr. Pansies PEEL, our wont enticipatiens will probably be realised. We believe that Lord PAIMUIIi has the interest of the Army at heart, end we trait he will not undo this Report to remain a dead letter. But it behoves the constituencies to look to this question of Army Reform, and to pledge their representatives to sup port seek msanerse as AO carry it into effect. The country will net submit to have a large Army—the country most, therefore, have an efficient Army, and effairmey without thoroughly educated °Notre is improeible.

The Army would be AM by men who entered it from devotion to the gesdeedon ; the morale of officers would be improved the Staff would be supplied with able and well-instructed officers, and the British Army would become the finest army ita the world. ONE day last month the people in the streets of New York observed a litter, evidently containing a sick person, carried up from the shipping to the Battery HoteL Beside the litter walked a young creature who, but for her careworn countenance and her being near her confinement, might have been taken for a little school girl Her story soon be came known, and it had presently reached all hearts. She is now twenty. At seventeen she had married a sea captain—a gallant young man of five-and ' twenty, she being a softly-reared young lady of East Boston. Just alter the marriage Captain Parrom was offered the command of a ship—the Neptune's Car—prepared for the circumnavigation of the globe, and ready to sail that day but for the illness of the commander. Captain PATTON declined the offer, declaring it impossible to leave his bride so soon and suddenly for so long a time. He was told that he would be allowed to take her with him. She agreed ; and they were on board within twelve boars from the first question asked. During that voyage she learned whatever her husband could teach her ; and especially she be- came practised in taking observations, and in keep ing the reckoning of the ship. She studied naviga tion, in short, to some purpose. The voyage lasted eventeen months. Last August the captain and his wills sailed in their old ship for San Francisco, being so proud of the vessel as to pique themselves on reaehing California sooner than two others which took their departure at the same time. It was this rival** which first disclosed to Captain Parson the evil quality of his first mate, who was not only lazy sod negligent to a dangerous degree, bat in disposed. He was evidently bent on carrying the ship into Valparaiso, for purposes of his own. . . . Anxiety and toil told on the captain's health before ' Cape lloru was reached. He there deposed the first mate from office, and, in the effort to discharge the duty himself, sank down in fever which soon issued in congestion of the brain. Before he lost his reason he declared positively against going into Valparaiso, saying that the men would desert, and the cargo be lost before the con signees could arrive ; and his honour and conscience were concerned in going on to the right port. This was enough. His wife determined that it should be done. As soon as her husband became hopelessly delirious the first mate attempted to assume autho rity, and wrote a letter to Mrs. Psrrox, charging her with the responsibility of all their lives if she opposed him. She told him that her husband had not trusted him while he was well; and that she would not trust him now her husband was ill. She assembled the crew, told them the facts, and ap pealed to them to disregard the first mate, to accept her authority in her husband's place, and to obey the second mate in the working of the ship. Every man of them agreed; and they sustained her well, as far as their power of support went. They looked with pity and reverence upon her as they saw her through the cabin windows at her desk, keeping the reckoning, and making entries in the log. Noon and midnight she was on deck taking observations. She marked the charts, made no mistakes, and carried the ship into port in the beet condition me the 13th of Novem ber. She had studied the medical books on board, to learn how beet to treat her husband's ease; and she never left him, day or night, but to perform hie duties. Happily he was a Freemason his brother mamas at San Francisco were kind, and sent them back by the first practicable opportunity to New York. There they arrived wholly destitute—the husband blind, deaf, delirious, dying—the wife worn and grave, bat active and composed. She was anxious to reach Boston before her confinement ; but, by the last accounts, she was disappointed by her husband being too ill to be removed. The New York underwriters sent her an imme diate gift of 1,000 dollars ; and the owners of the yew' and others are taking measures to testify their sense of the conduct by which a vast amount of pro perty has been saved, and their interests and these of their crew have been conscientiously considered under singular extremity. With our Lady FAR- M:EASE/4 Leer HUTCHINNONe, and CATHERINE MOMPEMONS may now rank the MART Parrox of a kindred nation. It needs no other Freemasonry than that of the universal human heart to secure her reverence and vrelanne in every port she may pet into henceforth in the rough voyage of life.

The following circular shows that for the expenses of the struggle just con cluded the mousy has yet to be raised "Coombe, Lewes, March hth, 1851.—The mode in which the expenses incurred in conducting Lord Pevensey's elec tion are to be met has of course been under the serous con sideration of hie friends. You may be aware that there was an understanding when first Lord Pommy wee asked to mme forward for the county that his expense should be limited to • OCT6IIII rum; he will probably have to defray an amount exceeding that sum. Also, owing to the now pro longed contest, the expenses will, it is feared, exceed that amount ea well so the subecripbrons already promised. Should no more be forthcoming, all the expenses incurred will be paid, but it will probably be at the met, beyond their rub ecriptionl, of only one or two members of the committee. Under these circumstances, it is kit right that the state of the case should be privately mentioned to those gentlemen wLo are supposed to feel an interest in maintaining the con servative charmer of our representation; that they may thus have the opportunity, in any pro por tion they please, of assisting in hewing this necessary bur den .

Wfisr ItiniNG.—The following it Mr. Cobden's farewell address : TO THE ELECTOR , * OF THE WEST RIDINO OF T0E.... Gentletnen,—Although at the last election I made an un equivocal declaration of my intention to withdraw from the representation of the West Riding at the close of the free trade contems—a determination which I have since repeatedly communicated to the chairman of my committee—yet I should be wanting in courtesy to you, and fail to do justice to my own feelings, if I allowed our political connection to be breught to a silent close.

In this short interest of time we have witnessed the novena of that verdict, net only in ou r district, but throughout the whole empire, and we have had the unprecedented good for tune of winning even opponents to our principles and seeing every trace of resentment or sense of wrong or suffering ob literated from their memory ; thus substituting for the selfish pleasure of a party triump h the purer satisfaction of having elected an act of univemal beneficence.

A private meeting of the con servative., to the number of some sixty voters, was held on Monday but ; but reporter. were not admitted, and the ad dl.:sae. woe both few and brief, the principal object appa rently being to get a canvassing party together.

THE THAMES Teo AND LIGHTERAGE COMPANY.— On Saturday last a number of gentlemen intended In the company lately formed for conducting the lighterage busi ness on the Thames made a trial trip with the first of the new tugs intended for this service.

It is in tended to have several of these small, but powerful, tug camels, drawing very little water, so as to enable them to go up the river without difficulty to the new ducks at Brentford and Teddington Lock, where the goods traffic of the Great Western will find its future outlet to the Thames. It is siular that, with ell the improvements which have been made in locomotion, the ligbtersge busineee has continued in the sane state as it wee a hundred years ago, the barges still drifting up end down with the tide, thereby causing the greeted uncertainty as to the time of delivering the mod valuable merchandise. The Thames Tug and Lighter. 1 age Company propose to tow the loaded barges in all states of the lide; thus learning the prompt delivery of goods various docks and wharves for which they may ___ _ HEALTH OT LONDON DURING THE WZIK.—The total number of deaths registered in London, which in the pevious weak wet 1,176, wee, in the week that ended Satur day last, 1,158.

CHARLES SIDYNER.—Mr. Stunner is not so well since hie arrival at Wuhington as was expected. He is obliged most of the time to keep a reclining or half-reclining position, in consequence of the almost incessant pain in hh spinal column, which is the reflex action of the wound on his bead, indicating that the been has not entirely recovered. This pain begins at the small of the back, and extends up to the neck, producing also a nervous sennitiveneem in the region of the shoulders and breast.

A telegraphic despatch, received at Vienna, states that the last infantry detachments of the corps of occupation of Moldavia had embarked at Ismail on March 14, to return to Austria. A letter from Vienna of the 13th, in the Nerers• berg Correspondent says: The affair of the i'ri;cipalitios appears to have changed its aspect, in consequence of the hesitations of Eng. liah policy. It is said that the Austrian cabinet has dies covered certain indications which show that not tomb reliance can be placed on the support of England on the question of the union, and fears are entertained that she will go over to the Franco-Russian camp. In order to prevent this sa much u poseible, Count d'Appony, the Austrian mobsesedoe in London, who has been bore for vane time on leave of ab sence, left for London, instead of waiting for the arrival of the Emperor, as he had intended. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PEON OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TCESDAT ETP.NINO. The Pays certifies that all the rumours on the subject of the differenoe between Prussia and Switzerland are devoid of foundation. But inasmuch as these rumours are not homogeneous, the general traverse of the government journal adds nothing valuable to our stock of information. According to some rumours the King of Prussia has entered into no engagement whatever with regard to the renun. elation of his rights in Neufchatel; another story is that he only wants Switzerland to acknowledge those rights to the fullest extent by way of prelimi nary, and then see whether he will not be polite enough to give them up afterwards ; a third rumour is that the whole affair is in reality settled, and that the King's affected resistance is merely like that of a coquette who wishes to enhance the value of her favours. The Independance Beige pretends that M. de Hatzfeldfs last instructions have been taken in dudgeon by the French government, and that Count Walewski has been instructed to address a very tart note to the Marquis de Moustier, the French ambassador at Berlin. To which of these divers rumours, all more or less accredited, does the Pays mean to give a fiat contradiction ? En attendant, the answer to the question, thC stereotyped news of the day, is " there has been no sitting of the Neuf. chatel Conference." . . The Petrie says :—" The indications which reach us to-day, relative to the Neufchatel Conference, lead to the hope that the third meeting of the pie nipotentiaries will take place very soon." I learn privately that M. de Hatzfeldt expects detailed instructions from Berlin to-night or to. morrow, and it is thought, judging from the nature of the despatches brought by M. de Rosenberg last , week, that they will be conciliatory. This is probably the foundation for the above paragraph in the Petrie. An opinion is entertained among those who live in the atmosphere of the foreign office that the Conference will cer tainly be resumed in a day or two. It is positively denied in the same quarter that anything like an angry diplomatic note has been recently sent from Paris to Berlin. Ferukh Khan will hav e an audience of the Em• peror to-morrow to take leave, and on Thursday he and the entire Persian embassy will leave Paris fee London. The enormous number of 125 Ktudentl were ex. pellcd front the Polytechnic School yesterday for mutiny. I have not learned any particulars, except that they gave a beating to the adjutant, who had reported their conduct to the commanding officer, and that when charged with their offences they boldly I declared their intention to stand by oneanother. The Emperor, it is said, was rather opposed to this sweeping measure of severity which has been taken, but yielded to the representations of Marshal Mag. man, with whom the Polytechnic School is not $ favourite. The Bourse opened very strong, but there 'on I reaction in the afternoon. The Bente, after be*/ quoted at 71fr. 10c. for cash, and 71fr. 40c. for so. count, closed at 70e. 90c. and 71fr. 15c., with t fall of 10c. and ic. on the day.

The general, it seems, refused to ap pear before the court, because he thought d had been treated with indignity in being brotigil up in custody from Toledo. General Reim, who acted as prosecutor, in a speech to the court, represented that it was absolutely neon• sary that officers of the highest grades ilia set the example of submission and respect W the military laws and regulations; and be ease tended that General Prim, by the letter be had addressed to the newspapers reflecting on the governs mcnt, had violated those laws and regulations. Hi therefore demanded that his name should be strut out of the army list, and that he should be widened to a year's imprisonment. General %Ayala, defender of General Prim, contended that the latter hid pat violated the regulations, and that he ought to 1:4 acquitted. The court, after deliberation, decide' that the general should remain under arrest for os months, but not be deprived of his grade ct honours. A noted Carlist chief, named Noy de las Barre quetas, who had been under sorrel/lance at Meollids had clandestinely quitted the capital, and this got rise to the belief that the Carlists were projecting rising for the spring. The funeral of Quintana, the poet. had taILW place, and had been attended by General San Miret and other political notabilities.
