We see every day some brays work that Englishmen have dome— whether they are sent over the sea, where they have met the grist power of Europe, and arrested Its invading arms; or whether under the most mysterious dispeemselen of Pro vidence, moldy, the outbreak and mutiny of one of th e largest &more that has hitherto been the pi ids and glory of this country—which hex turned its parricidal sword upon a nadirs which supported, which inatructed, and which sustained it. Never perhaps Mee England shown boreolf more powerful than at this prevent moment—more powerful in the synipathy which hes been shown to her brethren in the East from every man at home— from the resistance offered by a handful of Englishmen against a tyrant and barbarian. Even now the stronghold of rebellion has fella before a single Englishman has landed from England upon ' the ahem of Indi,. This has been done solely by the energy and courage cia small hand of English heroes. I think we have tIONII to my that there wee never a time in which we could be prowler of our country—in which we hal mere strongly the duty sustained bi m al ph i L doel energise, and by all intellactaal credit of oar country.

Here we stand, nessapporeed, undo bladed, not afraid of any intestine difficulties, while we have met thouruade of miles away the whole of our army. This we have done, I think, mainly on account of the spread of knowledge and information among the people. It is because the middle clam of the country have learned more truly their ditty to thee, they employ that we have no longer anything to bar from the employed—it Is because the upper dame of society her blunt that their own true security is la the ad venoms* and dffirelopment of the people, not is any math ethe pemession of any privileges of then own.

"if they wars artain of marlist," says he, ▪ I believe they would not be unwilling to cultivate cot ton b,o, but they have not been sectutomed to the peace. ful pursuita of commerce. They are fond of trade, but they have been taught none, save that in ivory and slaves." All along the Zambesi he found English and American cotton goods in the possession of the natives, though the country is as well adapted for the growth of the raw material as any part of the United State. Some of the independent tribes cultivate a little cotton, but it is not equal either in quality or quantity to the pr dose of Angola. The pile is short, and It clings to the seed m much that they use an iron cella to detach it. The natives have no encouragement to raise cotton for sale, end no new variety has, therefore, been In troduced. Dr. Livingstone is sanguine as to the results of attempts to establish commercial retakes with the tribes of the interior, by means of the Zambesi, and as land is cheap, labour plentiful, and the distance considerably less than that of India, the plan he proposes may be realised era long, to the great advantage of the natives as well as our own.

DEATH FROM EXCESSIVE DIIIIIING. - - On Thusaday oveninj Mr. Badger held an inquest at Sheffield on the body Joseph Dodgeon, late of Leeds, solicitor, who died on the previous day, under somewhat strange cireumetanees. The deceased came to Sheffield on Wednesday, from Nottingham, and by 90{111) means got to the house of Ann Stead, a married woman, who lives apart from her husband, and keep a small shop in Infirmary-road. Her story is that he was an old sweetheart, and discovered her residence by accident. They went out together during the day, and at night having no accommodation herself, she took him to sleep at the Grapes Inn. On Thursday e= she took hire to lodge at the house of • widow Wood, where he remained until his death. Stead was almost conatently with him from Thursday night to Saturday evening, and daring that time supplied him with more than three pints of gin, nearly nest, and Mil a pint of bra , cly. Daring Thursday night she took 061. 10a. from under ha pillow, as she alleged, to take care of it; end subrequently, though he was all the time in a state of in y, and several times said he wee dying, she refused to call in • surgeon. On the very evening when she got ' poreersion of the money she expressed a hope that the man would die before morning; and at another time she said medicine was of no use, se he was dying. She also rid he had " come to die with her, end she would see the last of him." During Saturday, when the man was very ill, Stead wanted to remove him to her house, bat Mrs. N% cod would not allow this, and called in Mr. Lyon, surgeon. Ile forbade the giving him any more spirits, on which Stead, who then, se previously while in attendance upon the patient, was laws self drunk, ordered the surgeon out of the house, sad procured brandy, which she gave to the deemed. She would have given him still more brandy, having procured a pint for the purpose, had not the police interfered on Satur day night, and e'ected her front the house. After the drink was withheld, Dodgsou recovered hie cenecicatsneee, and =- grehis determination to prosecute Stead for "stealing" eney. She was apprehended on that charge, and remanded until be should be able to give evidence. On Tuesday, however, he suffered a relapse, which ended fatally. The deceased having told the surgeon that he had been "drugged," and a report spreading that chloroform had been administered to him, the coroner was called upon to institute an inquiry. The medical men, however, after a peet.mortem examination, were of opinion that death had resulted from apoplexy, combined with diem= of the liver and lunge. They attributed the apoplexy to drink, but the coroner advised the jury that as the deceased had voluntarily taken the spirits from Stead, and indeed frequently asked for them, no criminal charge could be sustained against her as to his death, and with the robbery they had nothing to do. Some of the jury expemeed themselves strongly as to the conduct of Stead in administering gin to an insensible man, and were dispoeed to return a verdict of menslaughter mph= her ; but, after • long oonsultatlon, a verdict was recorded simply swing the cause of death, and censuring Stead far imprudence is adminiatering the gin. The deceased was about 70 years doge and a bsolasice.—Mmithesttr &maim. SUDDEN DEATII IN ♦ PLACE or WORSHIP.— On Thursday J. P.

The Hertford Mercury gives the following addi tional partici:dare respecting the murder of the polioe.man at Ste Herta, a short account of which appeared in Friday's ess. It will . be remembered that the murder took place on the evening of Friday week, and that a labourer of the neighbourhood had been spprehended. An inquest was held the next day and adjourned till Monday this day). The man apprehended is Jeremiah Carpenter, • labourer, in the service of Mr. Horn, of Norton-green Farm, which is situate about a mile front Stevenage. Carpenter is about 95 years of age, of a powerful phyeique, and determined ohmmeter. He has long_ been outvoted of thefts, but has never been in custody . He has been beard to ray—in allu sion to the circumstance that the baskets or wallets of Mowers are sometimes searched by the police after leaving their work—that no one policeman enould over search him. The chnentetanote width led to the tippreb!nrdon . of Car- minter may bete briefly stated. The priitiner lives in one of four cottages, at the mouth end of Stevenage, about 300 yeas out of the town. Norton End Farm is about a mile from the prisomea cottage, and Is reached by • lane which ruts from the mouth end of the cotter to the farm. On Friday, the da of the murder, the prisoner was net, Low em - rers the Aim bat to field at some &Mance o: r tk of t • and hi nearest way home would be, not by the farm and the kas, but across the secluded field in which the murder took *on through . :Fin the hedge of that held, V then ong the railway, into • which leads by the aide of the Let sod meet myth deka.* In the row in which he lived. Thew Is seldom! to show *Mho must hareems* 7J:1116 that, instead of creaming the railway Into the i to, he came along the line, and over the fence his own back garden. it ammo that the prisoner lift work about half-past eve, and reached home about ten minutes past six, thus t forty minutes in going a distance which a labourer, at hist d 2 nary leisurely pace, would walk in twenty minutes. Two men, named Shird and Spion, who worked on the same fine, were on Friday detained a quarter of an hour beyond their usual time in looking after the horses. Shepherd, who lived nest door to the primmer, however, reached home Soot, and had been at home fully ten minute., when be sew the prisoner come from the direction of the railway over the fence into his own garden, indenter hie cottage by the back door. The prisoner being thus shown to have come in the direo tion from the field in which the murder took plaice, and to hare been delayed oa his return home, it le necessary for the elucidation of the cake to refer to the time at which the con stable was last seen, and in what direction he wee then pro- 0401 4. At 4 o'clock on Friday . afternoon, Starting was directed to look after the men returning from their work on the Hertford side of Stemmage, and particularly to direct his attention to theLelsoner Carpenter, who was suspected of stealing his em yer's oorn. Starkins was to return and report himgelf at . At half•yeat sbe was seen in a lane, leading from the road to the farm in the direction of and about 150 yards from the field in which his body was found. Nothing more was seen or heard of him till the discovery of hie body on the following Monday. From the /mot where be was seen at half-past. 5 walking lamely and looking about him, we may assume that he reeled the field in question in about ten minuted, and we thus trace him to the 'pot where the murder was committed at about twenty minute. to six. The prieoner, assuming that he came scree the field, se he must have done, arrived at the same spot—nearly equi-distant between the field where he was at work I sad his co llag e—about the game time. The prisoner says he returned home by another and more circuitous route, past . some cottages near the rued leading to the farm ; but this te disproved by witnesses who were out in front of their dwellings from half•past five until long after the prisoner readied home. Other witnesses also prove that at the Stevenage end no one passed along the paths leading to the high read. Moans were heard, but no one retreated in that direction; and no one can be traced near the spot except the prisoner Carpenter. He and the constable are thus brought together at the same spot, at the same time, when the murder was committed. Having thus traced the prisoner to the field in which the conflict and the murder took place, at about twenty minutes to six, we have to account for his not reaching Lis home—to which he might have walked in ten minuter or lens—till thirty minutes after that time. He was evidently delayed on the toad; but he had met no one, if not the police constable. The struggle would account for the delay. It was a desperate one, and the marks of It ere observable in the tall grass, ' kicked up by the powerful men striking their heels deep into the ground. It was a strug gle between two men only ; the constable had taken out his handruns (for they were found in the field) to put on a pet goner whom he expected to capture ; and he would hardly have done this if he had had two men to encounter. Thew had been two &tenet stivales—the tint Woggle near the spot where the tield was entered through a gap in a high hedge, and 90 yards nearer the prisoner's house than the spot where the second struggle took place. Further off, in a corner of the field, was a plot of turnips; five turnips had been fresh pulled and were thrown down. The inference is that they were thrown down on the policeman entering the field, and the person who threw them down then walked on in the directice of the gap in the hedge, and of the priamer's house, till he met the eomtable at the 'pot where the IRA struggle took place. Here he was stopped, and probably Raked to show the contents of his basket, fora quantity of wheat was found upon the ground, and a basket, or some thing containing wheat, must have been dropped. Then there was a flight, and a pursuit by the constable; then another struggle—this time a deadly one. But there are other &tandems-I which throw strong suspicion upon the prisoner. When he returned home Shepherd observed that his smock waa twisted round hb shoulders; but he shortly re appeared with hie Sunday smock frock and his Sunday willy-hat on, and called in Shepherd in conseque nce of a hurt he seed hn had received by a trunk of timber which be, at that hour of the night, with his beat clothes on , been attempting to split with4. h zd h cl felling upon his lig. His boot wee taken off, and found that the leg had very much swelled, though the hurt wee laid to have been received only the instant before. He advised that a doctor should be sent for. When the body of the constable was found on Monday suspicion at once . fell upon Carpenter. On Tuesday morning Captain Robertson proceeded to Stevenage, and having made inquiries, at once apprehended him. He at that time had on the clothes he wore on the day of the murder. Upon hie smock - hock, his boots, his pocket knife, and his basket were marks of blood. - - -• • It remains to be added that on the day before the murder the prisoner was employed in sowing wheat in a field at some distance from the farm and was sent to the farm to procure more wheat, there not being enough. Mr. Horn haa identi fied the wheat found in the field where the murder took place as part of that wheat; it could only have been procured by one of hie men; the prisoner had the opportunity of P rocuring It, and it is certain that no other man in Mr. Horn s employ went home that way on the night of the murder, the prisoner being employed dune . the other men were employed at the farm, and went home down the road. In the 1 skirt of a wood lying in the prisoner's road from the field where he was at work to the field where the murder took place, a small quantity of the same wheat baa been found : it had evidently been concealed, and a larger quan tity had been removed. On the Thursday, when the wheat le supposed to have been taken by the prisoner, be was at work with the other men, and returned home with them ; he bad, therefore, no opportunity of carrying it home then. It Is, therefore, inferred that be hid it In the wood and recovered it an his way home on Friday night. This is the sum of the evidence which the police have at present obtained ageing Carpenter. Captain Robertson has been at Stevenage every day since the dreadful occurrence, investigating the affair, sodded by S uperintendent Bunco and Coxedge, Inspectors Eng li sh, Hawke" Capron, Beck with and Evans, and five constables. The prisoner stoutly denies his guilt, but o th er important evidence is expected to be adduced at the adjourned examination next week. We have omitted to state in the proper place that before the constable's throat was cut, several stabs bad been made at him, sad that a cut on his coat roller is precbely of the size of the blade of the prisoner's pocket knife. The reedi est evidence will go to show that the constable was strangled, probably by his murderer grasping him by his neckerchief, end that his throat was cut while he was in a state of un conaciommeas, and lying helpleee on Ws back on the ground.
