The public interest in Kassuth continued unabated. lie was constantly receiving delegations from differ ent parts of the tinted States. lie was to leave New York iinmediately for Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, and extend his tour to Cincinnati, unless induced to hasten his return to Europe by the intelligence from France. Ilia movements and s?ceehr., the chief of which we give below, form the only item of interest in the advices brought by the prevent mill s with the exception of the telegraph given above. 2:/,000 dollars had been subscribed fir Konuth in New York, bnides a large amount deposited in banks to his credit. A deputation of the bookbinders in the employ ment of the New York Bible Society presented Kos suth with a beautiful morocco-gilt Bible, a quarto editon. is a testimonial of the regard in which they hold his character as the champion of civil and reit gious liberty, and adding that they intended, in a few days, to give him something more substantial. The proceedings of Congresshad not been of spe cial interest. An unprofitable debate on the Com promise Acts, iu which Mr. Foote, of Mississippi, and Mr. Rhctt, of South Carolina, have been the chief speakers, has consumed much valuable time in the Senate. -- ----- The bill establishing a mint in California has passed. A letter has been published from the Spanish sinister to Mr. Webster, communicating the pardon d James M. Wilson, one of the Lopez expeditionists, n consequence of a most affecting appeal from his nether to the president, which was sent to the Queen of Spain, and who in consequence liberated lim. and has sent him home with funds from her private purse. The letter from the minister says that all other considerat i ons have been set aside, but that of rntoring happiness to the unfortunate mother, and restoring her erring and misguided son, whose de spair is described in such simple and touching terms that they have not failed to affect the benevolent heart of her Idsjesty. Adviccs from the city of Mexico to the 19th of November state that a squadron of five English ves sels of war had appeared off Vera Cruz, but the object of their visit was not known. lt is announced that the pardon of Mason has ken confirmed, on condition of perpetual ba nishment to San Salvador.

[Applause from the gentlemen present.] And I I never met a sighs mother who would hare withheld her son from sharing is the battle ; but I have met many who ordered and commanded their children to light for their fatherland. (Applause.) I saw many and many brides who urged on the bridegrooms to delay their day of happiness till they would come back victorious from the battles of their fatherland. Thus acted the ladies of Hungary. That country deserves to liver; that country deserves to have a , future left yet, which the women, as well as the I men, love aid cherish. (Applause.) But I have a stronger motive than all these to claim your protect ing (sympathy for my country's cause. It is het name- I , less woe nameless sufferings. In the name of that I ocean of bloody tears which the sacrilegious band of the tyrant wrung from the eyes of the childless mothers, of the brides who beheld the hangman's sword between them and their wedding , day—in the name of all those mothers, wives, brides, daughters and eaters, who, by thousands of thousands, weep over the graves of Megyan mu dear to their hearts, and weep the bloody tears of a patriot (as they all are) over the face of their beloved native laud —in the name of all those torturing stripes with which the flogging hand of Austlian tyrants dared to outrage huma nity in the womankind of my native laud—in the name of that daily curse against Austria with which even the prayers of our women are mined—in the name of the nameless sufferings of my own dear wife— (here the whole audience raw and cheered vehe hemently)—the faithful companion of my life—of her, who for months and for months was hunted by my couutry's tyrants, like a noble deer, not having fur months &moment's rest to repose her wi stied head in sefety, and no hope, no support, no protection but at the humble threshhold of the herd-working people, as noble and generous as they an poor—(applause)—iu the name of my pour little children, who so young are scarcely conscious of their life, had already to learn what an Austrian prison is—in the name of all this, nod what is still worse, in the name of down-trodden liberty, 1 claim, ladies of New York, your protecting sympathy tor my country's cause. Nobody can do more for it than you. The heart of man is as soft as wax in your tender hands. Mould it ladies ; mould it in the form of generous compassion for my country's wrongs, iuspire it with the noble feelings of your own hearts, in spire it with the consciousness of your country's power, dignity, and might. You are the framers of man's character. Whetever be the fate of man, our stamp he al ways bears on his brow—that which the mother's band im pressed upon the soul of the child. The smile of your Spectral make a hero out of the coward—(applause)— and a gener ous man out of the egotist; one word from you inspires the youth to noble resolutions ; the lustre of your eyes is the fairest reword for the toils of life. You can even blow up the feeble spark of energy in the breast of broken age, that once more it may blase up in a noble, a generous deed before it dies. All this power you have. Use it, ladies, we it in behalf of your country's glory, and for the benefit of oppressed humanity, and when you meet a cold calculator, who thinks by arithmetic when he is called to feel the wrongs of oppressed nations, convert hint, ladies. Your smiles are commands, and t he truth which pours forth instinctively from your hearts, is mightier than the logic articulated by any scholar. The Peri excluded from l'aradise, brought many generous gifts to heaven in eider to regain it. She brought the dying sigh of a patriot ; the kiss of a faithful girl imprinted on the lips of hr bridegroom distorted by the venom of the plague. She brought many other fair gifts ; but the door of l'aradise opened before her only when she brought with her the first prayer of a man converted to charity and brotherly love for his oppressed brethren and humanity. I have many tokens received of this Motherly love; and at the very moment of my entering this hall, I was informed of a circumstance which I consider so im portant as to beg permiesion to make in respect to it one single remark, lam told that one of the newspaper', with friendly and generous intention towards that cause which I have the honour to plead before you, has roinied out as the sums," of my standing here, that there as a committee established out of such men, shoes very share in that committee gives importance to it, and who are about to raise money for the purpose of revolutionizing Europe.) My axiom is that of the Irish post—" Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow." (Applause). All that I claim is fair play ; and that is the aim for which I claim the United States to become the execu tive power of the laws of nature and of nature's God. That is the aim for which I claim your generous public and private aid and support. The revolu tions in Europe will be made by the nations of Europe; hut that they shall have fair play is what the nations of Europe expect from the protection of the United States of America. Remember the power which you hen, and which I have endeavoured to point out in a few brief worth. Remember this, and form associations; establish ladies committees to raise substantial aid for Hungary. Wbo could, who would, refuse, when the melody of your voice is pleading the cause of my bleeding, my oppressed native land. single mussel in my Rh to see it Adana list my gall ing star was, eel will he, Duty;" end the phusur, and delight of the lam must welt, eves for ever, if necessary, when duty sells, ladies, wont gee as 1 am, still I am glad, very glad, indeed, that it is the Mies of New Toth who have condescended to Estes to say farewell. This my , farewell, cannot, will not, ho eloquent. When iv the midst of • busy day, the watehhl cares of • gmemillia angel throws some Sowers of joy in the thorny may Iman—he gathers them up with thanks, • ebeethd thrill quivers through his heart, like the miledy di an .E dian harp ; but the earnest dutiei ef Rh owe elism his attention and his cares. The melodious thrill dies away, and on lie must go, and on he goes, joyless, theerless, and cold, every fibre of his heart bent to the ear liest duties of the day. But when the hard work of the day is done, and the stress of mind for • moment subsides, then the heart again claims its right, and the lender fingers of our memory gather up again the violets of joy which the goarilian angel threw iu our way, and we look at them with so much joy, we cherish them as the favourite gifts of life— we are so glad—as glad as the child on Christmas-eve. They are the happiest motuerts of tuan's life. But when we are not noisy, not eloquent, we are silent, almost mute, like nature in a midsummer's night, reposing from the burning heat of the day. Ladies, that is my condition now. It is a hard day's work which I have te do here. I ant delivering my farewell address; and every compassionate smile ' every warns geisp of the hand, every token of kindness which I have received (and I have received so man)), every bower of consolation which the ladies of New York base thrown on my thorny way rushes with double force to my memory. I feet so happy in this sees ivory there is a solemn tranquillity about my rani;' hut in such • moment I would rather be silent than speak. I ss..resly can speak. Yen know, ladies, that it is nut the deepest feelings which are the loudest. (Loud apples's.) And, *sides, I have to soy farewell to New Turk. This Is a sorrowful word. What immense hopes are linked in my memory in this word New York—hopes of resurrection he my down-trodden fatherland—hopes of liberation for op. pressed nations en the European continent. Will the cap, cations which the mighty outburst of New Yorit's young and generous heart foreshadowed be realised? Will them hopes he fulfilled, or will the ray of consolation which N, w York east on the dark night of my fatherland—will it pass away like en electric flash ? Oh, could I east hut one single glance into the book of futurity ! No, Oixl forgive me this impious wish. It is Ho who bid the future from man, sod what Ile dues is well done. It were not good for man to know his destiny. 'The energy of his sense of duty would falter or subside, it we were assured of the failure or success of our aims. (Applause.) It is because we do sot know the future that we retain our energy of duty. So will I go on in my work, with the full energy of my humble abilities, without despair, hut with hope. It is Eastern blood which runs in my veins; and I come from the East. I have, accordingly, somewhat of Eastern fatalism in my disposition, but it as the fatalism of a Christian who trusts with unwavering faith in the boundless goodness of a Divine Providence. But among all these different feelings and thoughts that come upon me in the hour of my farewell, one thing is almost indispensi file to me, and that is, the assurance that the sympathy I have met with here will not pass away like the cheers which • warbling girl receives on the stage—that it will be we aried as a principle, and that when the emotion subsides, the calmness of reflection will but strentheu it, because it is a principle. This consolation I wanted, and this consola tion I hare, because, ladies, I plate it in your hands. I bestow ou your motherly and sisterly cares the hopes of Europe's oppreesed natious,—the hopes of civil, political, Wei.d, and religious liberty. Oh, let me entreat you, with the brief and stammering words of a warm heart, over. whelmed with emotions and with sorrowful cares—let me intrust you, ladies, to be watchful of the sympathy of your people, like the mother over the cradle of her beloved child. It is worthy of your watchful care, because it Is the cradle of regenerated humanity. Especially in regard to my poor fatherland, I have i particular claims ea the fairer and better half of humanity, which you are. The first of thee° claims is, that there s not, perhaps, ea the twee of the earth a nation which in its institutions has shown more chivalric regard for ladies than the Hun garians. It is • praiseworthy trait of the Oriental character. You know that it was the Moorish race in Spain who were the founders of the chivalric resin Europe, so full of personal virtue, so full of noble deeds, so devoted to the service of ladies, and heroism, and to the protection of the oppressed. You are told that the ladies of the East are almost degraded to tom than • human condition, being secluded from all /social life, and pent up within the arem's walls. And so it is. But you must not judge the East by the measure of European civilisation. They have their own civilisation, quite different from ours in views, inclina tions, alcetioss, and thoughts. Eastern mankind is tradi. tional—the very soil retains the stamp of traditional anti quity. When you walk upon that old soil, with the Old Testament in your hand, and read the prophets and the patriarchs on the very spot where they lived and walked, you are astonished to find that nature is as it was five thou sand years ago, and that this cedars still grow on her boundary, under the shadow of which the patriarchs were protected. You see the well just as Jacob saw it when Rachel gave drink to him and his camels. Everything— the aspect of nature, the habits, the customs, the social life of thepeople—is measured, not by centuries, but by thousaada of years. The women of the East live as they lived in the time of the patriarchs, and they': feel happy. Let them remain so—(applame)--wbo can wish them more on earth the. f Nothing is more ridiculous than to pity them she hd happy. But such is the het, that there Is almost a mi. spina regard paid to women Is the East. No man demo to injure or to offend a woman there. He who would do so would be despised by elflike • dog. That respect goes so far, that the lord does not dare to raise the carpet of his harem's door, still less enter it, where a pair of slippers before the threshold tells him that • lady a in the room. (Applause.) Respect . and reveres"' for women is the cha racteristic of the Orient. The Meows are of Eastern n eck NM In Ramp.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5, 1852. THE MINISTRY. TO Tin XDITOIt OF Tut DAILY 51W11. Sin,—Rumour says that amongst those whom Lord John Russell is inclined to enlist are the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Wodehouse, Mr. Cardwell, and Sir James Graham—the Board of Control being offered to the first, the Foreign Under-Secretaryship to the second, and the Paymitatership of the Forces to the third—Sir James Graham taking the Homo t , ecretaryship, to ho vacated for him by its present holder. At a cabinet council on Thursday next, it is understood that the day will be fixed tor assem bling parliament fur the despatch of business; and at that council it is also said Lord John Russell will acquaint his colleagues with his proposed steps for strengthening his ministry. It is doubtless thought politic not to announce too soon the names of those who are really about to join the ministry, lest the re-election of such as may be in the House of Com mons should be imperilled by too early notice to intending opponents. Before Thursday the Minister should surely well consider his intended steps. lioes Lord John Russell think that calling into place two or three aristocratic Peelites—one of them at least a man who has no character for political sincerity— does he think, I say, that this is the way to meet the difficulty of his pos ition? He will he mast wofully mistaken if he does. The friends of Lord Palmer. ston are, it is alleged, determined to have a talk about the recent retirement,—even though that noble lord himself should show his acquiescence in the arrange ment by an intended silence. There is likely to be troublesome discussion about Sardinian despatches, and sympathies with Louis Bonaparte, anddiscussions also in which the names of the late Foreign Secretary, our Ambassador in l'aris, and Sir H. liulwer may arise. To meet ministerial squabbles and partisan jealousies with a high hand, the Prime Minister should surely prepare himself by resting his tenure of power upon a bread popular basis. He should have the people, and the people's sympathy, at his back. Ito can never hope for this, if in his hour of weakness he leans on such unpopular and unsatisfactory political weathercocks as Sir J. Graham. The premiei's own po pularity is not so vast that he can whitewash others of their tins from his own superabundance of wealth in that way. And in his allies he must seek strength, not wea kness; political worth, not mere oratorical dexterity. Those who desire the stability of the Russell ministry will look anxiously for the decision of Thursday.—Yours, &c., AN ENGLISHMAN. CO, Court. WINDSOR, JAM. 3.

Woes the Oiairser.) The quarterly returns of the revenue will be made up to-morrow night, the sth inst. Although there is still a week's receipts to be taken into account, the general re sults are sufficiently known to warrant a close calculation of the amount to be reckoned upon, as well as comparison be tween the quarter and the year just ended, sad the corre sponding quarter and year ending Junuary 5, 1851. There will probably be • falling off of something like 700,000:, in the present quarter, as compared with the quarter endiqr Jan. 6, 1851, and the falling off upon the year will exceed by a little that amount. The relative comparisons of the year and of the quarter are nearer to each other in amount than they generally are. This coincidence is accounted for by the same celiac to which the reduction is to be generally attributed. The reduction in the receipts is entirely owing to the remission of taxation. The window-tax is no longer collected ; and the bowie-tax, which was substituted in part, has not yet been received into the Exchequer. The window-tax was collected half-yearly, commencing in April and in October, consequently the half-year's amount of the repealed tax is to be set oft against the defieieney apparent in the returns of the present quarter. For se much of it as is comprised in the inhabited house-tax, which was im ' peed as a substitute, in part, for the abolished impost, is not yet iu course of collection. It is nut lust, however ; is only postponed. The window-tax yielded about 1,800,0001. • year ; if that were still in aurae of Collection, it would have produced in this quarter I something like 900,0001., a sum more than enough to cover the present deficiency of itself. When the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave up the window-tax, and substituted the inhabited house duty, he did not calculate upon losing more than 1,000,0001., and it is likely he will not lose so much. But for the present quarter it is not this difference only that is to be accounted for, but the whole sum is to be taken into account, for the house-tax is scarcely yet in *mew of collection. la some districts the amount is not yet assessed, and even in the most forward quarters the col lections have not got beyond the appeals against the new assessment. It will be seen that the leading items of the ordinary revenue are not merely in a sound, but in a most prosperous condition, in spite of the reductions effected in each. In the Customs the amount collected in this quarter will be about equal to the amount raised in the corresponding quarter of last year, which was 4,596,7001. In the Excise there will probably be a falling off in the amount collected in this quarter, as compared with that of 1830-51, of no Ices than 160,0001. This tolling off occurs in the following head• of collection, viz. : malt, hops, and soap. In the corresponding period of last year two instal ments of hop duty were collected, viz., the instalment pay able is the ordinary course, and the instalment of the duty on the growth of the preceding year. In Stamps, there will be • reduction of 30,0001. to 40,0001., which may be attributed to the receipts of the preceding year haying been augmented by the number of legal instruments which had been deferred beyond the 10th of October, 1850, for the purpose of obtaining the ad vantage of the reduced rate of stamp duty granted by the act 13 and 14 Victoria, cap. 97. _ _ _ In trim there will probably be a decrease of about 700,0001., owing to the repeal of the window duty, and the collection of tho house-tax not having yet been received. There will also be a small falling off in the property tax, of from 10,0001. to 20,0001., which arises altogether from the payments in the present quarter being more backward than in the corresponding quarter of last year. _ . _ In the Post•o®ce the lacrosse will be considerable. The revenue derived from this head in the quarter ended Jan. 5, 18.51, was 152,0001., whilst it is probable that in the pre sent quarter that amount will be exceeded by more than 100,0001. There will be also an increase in the item of miscellane ous receipts. Such are the leading features of the forthcoming ac counts of the quarter's , and of the comparative state of the quarter and of the year, as compared with the corresponding accounts of the ordinary revenue in the year and the quartet ending Jan. 6, 1861. Often as we have had grounds fur congratulation during the last four or five years, there never was • statement perhaps so eminently satisf►ctory as the present. In spite of reductions of taxation year alter year, the receipts keep up to almost the highest amount which they had ever reached. But a more gratifying picture still is the diminution of expenditure, which is carried so far by judicious reduc tions, es well as by the constant falling in of the expensive legaeies left upon the country by previous misgovernment as to leave us a surplus upon the year of income over expenditure of more than 3i million pounds sterliug—the greatest amount ever yet known or available, even in the days of the abandoned Sinking Fund. It is not to be therefore taken fur granted that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer will take that sum as the groundwork of his esti mation for the Budget of 1852. The estimate is made, not of what was the actual balance on the first day of the year, but of the estimated balance for the ensuing year, from the sth of April. The surplus last session was estimated at near two millions, which was partly applied in the reduction of taxation, and partly in liquidation of the Debt—a prin ciple which was enunciated as the basis of future opera tions by the First Minister of the Crown and by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, and the soundness of which was very generally allowed. In this year we shall, in all pro bability, ban a minks Mat to dispose of in reduction of present and future be:thew—an amount, in fact, greater than ever was available in any one year since the days of sound modern finance.

BENNETT AND THE CLERGY OF FROME. The following address hos been presented to the Most lion. the Marchioness of Bath: Madam,—We, the undersigned clergy and laity of the parish of Frome, address ourselves to your ladyship with mingled feelings of respect and anxiety on an °erasion s of the deepest importance to our spiritu a l cares and interests. We have heard that in the exercise of a power, of which we believe you to estimate the responsibility as seriouelY as our selves, it is your intention to prese n t th e Rev. W. J. E. Ben nett, the late incumbent of St. Paul's. Knightsbridge, to the vicarage of Flume. With an unfeigned conviction of your ladyship's; desire to act rightly and to the glory of God in the discharge of your sacred trust, we lay !afore you our grief at hearing that announcement, end our earnest entreaty that you will reconsider that intention. We owe it to God, to our flecks, to our children, to our ser vants, to ourselves, to protest egainst the confiding the cure of souls among us to one from whuse writings, pub ' halted hut a year and a-half ago, we cite the following passages, not by any means us exhibiting the whole of what we deem opposed to the scriptural trutlifidnees of our beloved church in his productions, but merely as exem plifications of the teaching which, us members of that church, we solemnly repudiate. We take the first Irom the second preface affixed to the second and latest edition (IMO) of Mr. Bennett's' Letters to his Children on Church Subjects.' It professes to hare been composed fur that edition. He avow. in it that in the work itself be has said minty things more strongly than he did aix years Is fore," because he feels things more strongly;' and that he has altered anti added many pawiges, and riven to all a more emphatic tune.' It was then the studied and deli berate expression of his sentiments; and among those senti ments he promulgates this,—thut, unless a certain possi bility,'—namely, as appears, the reversal of a recent de cision of the Judicial Committee of l'rivy Council,—bo realised, ' the pastors who have as yet been e nabl e d to adhete to the church of England, finding that she denies herself and forfeits her claim to catholicity, will, one by oar, be ejected by the force of the law from her communion ; and, although not loving the peculiarities of Rome, will, in order to preserve any faith at all, either in their own hearten or in the hearts of those over whom they are set, be compelled to seek iialvation within her bosom. This will probably happen within ten years. Then will come the end. Protestantism will sink into its proper place and die, and whatever w as cath o li c i n th e c h urc h o f Englund will become Roman.' We take our second ex tract from the body of the Mist volume of the work itself : ' in England a man looks round him for the church, and finds it represented by the bishops and priests de facto such, and recognised with jurisdiction as such. lie has no need of arguing any matter. As long as the church stands there before him, it is her business to see that all is right, not his. . . To go out of her would be schiematieabto remain iu her catholic. In the same way, being horn in Italy, he looks round him for the church, and finds it represented by the bishops and priests, with all things appertaining. lie has, as an individual, no right to dictate to the church, buttes hear it. Dues it deny anything necessary to salva tion ? Does it insist on any practice which will bring damnation ? Certainly not. Then, whether he likes what is taught in detail is nothing to the point ; he looks to the church, which he sees visibly before him ; he submits to that church. To do so is catholic, to do otherwise would be schismatical. He is to live as though he did not know of the existence of any ether church than that where he was born; he is to act, a priori, as though of course, and accord ing to our Lord's rule, the church was one. If the re be dif ferences that is nothing to him. The churches, with their bishops and rulers, must look to that. It is their sin that unify is broken: it is their duty to restore it.' (The italics aro Mr. Bennett's own.) 'lt is hi. alone to obey. In Rome be obeys; in England be obeys; in France he obeys, His obedience makes him a catholic ; the rest lie leaves to God.' Our third extract is a sentence which heads a paragraph co• curving in a su bs equent chapter of the volume:—' All ideas of the Bible, and the dispensing of the Bible, as in itself a means of propagating Christianity, are a fiction and an absur dity.' We are not aware that Mr. Bennett has retracted any of these passages, or renounced the opinions professed in them, or other opinions of similar character, which we forbear citing. We consider such professions of opinion as directly at variance with the spirit which pervades the articles of our reformed branch of Christ's holy catholic church; and, as churchmen who would ' keep the faith,' we deliver our consciences by protesting against them. We purposely abstain from grounding our case on the circum stances under which Mr. Bennett resigned his former pre ferment. We arc among the many who regard such views as those which we have cited as perilously unsound; and we cling to the hope which we were assured that we might entertain, that your ladyship would not make any appoint. ment which would be otherwise than agreeable to the in habitants of Frome ' and conducive to their spiritual be nefit. We have expressed ourselves freely, knowing that we are addressing one who will duly estimate an honest and conscientious declaration. With equal sincerity, and with a deep sense of the benevolence which your ladyship exer cises in manifold ways, we pray that divine grace may guide and bless you, now and evermore." COLLISION ON TILE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. —A collision, which might have been attended with very serious consequences, occurred on this line of railway on Saturday morning, between the Chippenham and Wootton Bassett Stations. The up goods train, which arrived at Chippenham shortly after midnight, being somewhat later than usual, was detained by the station-master, in order to allow the up mail to pass. The mail was due at 12.40 a.m., but as it had not arrived at 1.15 cm,, the station•master felt it dangerous to delay the luggage train any longer, and the mail being 35 minutes overdue, he gave instructions to the driver of the goods train to make the best of his way to Swindon. Fifteen minutes elapsed after the departure of the goods train before the mail reached Chip penham, and this being considered more than sufficient time to allow the luggage train to get far in advance, the driver of the mail does not appear to have been cautioned on the subject. After the goods train left Chippenham a heavy fog came on, and the load being heavy, and the rails very slippery, the engine made but slow progress, and at the foot of the Wootton Bassett incline, about Wes miles from Chippenham, the train became almost stationary. At this miment the mail came up, and the fog preventing the driver from seeing the danger-signals of the engine on the tail of the train of the mail, dashed into the rear of the goods train with great force, crushing the guard's break and a horse-box, and blocking up the line for some distance. The guard of the goods train, perceiving the danger, jumped out of his box, and escaped unhurt. The stoker of the mail train also escaped, but the driver, a man named Ellis, received very severe injuries about the head and face, and it is considered doubtful whether he will recover. The effect on the passengers in the mail train was lees serious than might have been anticipated, and several par ties who happened to be asleep at the time were not eves reused by the collisioo. The portion of the railway where the accident occurred being some miles distant from any Place where essistaneecould be procured, considerable delay took place in clearing the line. The tint th ing that could be done was to uncouple the goods trucks, whieh were not mach injured, from the debris of the horse-box and the guard's break, and this having been accomplished, the driver took them on to Swindon, whence • pilot engine with a large body of men were sent down to the scene of the accident. The hone-box having become fixed firmly between the rails of the up-line,. it was found necessary to send the mail back to Chippenham, and thence on to Swindon, by the down line. The arrival of the mail in town was thus delayed four or five hours, and letters frees the west of England were not delivered in town on Satur day until after mid-day. IMPORTANT TO SHIPOWNERs.—A ease of consider able importance to shipowners and seamen was heard on Monday last by Mr. Ald. Dunn and Captain West, R.N., at the borough police court in this town. Mr. Scott, owner of the ship Alexander, was summoned fur discharging six foreign sailors at this port without the presence of the shipping-master, and, therefore, contrary to the provisions of the Mercantile Marine Act. Mr. Fleming appeared on behalf of the Board of Trade and of the Local Marine Board of Newcastle, and Mr. Lowrey, of North Shields, en behalf of Mr. Scott. Mr. Fleming stated that the Alexander arrived in this port from St. John's on the 3rd of December. Now by the 13th and 14th Victoria, chapter 93, it was explicitly declared, that, in the ease of foreign-going vessels, all sea men discharged in the United Kingdom shall be discharged and receive their wages in the presence of • shipping. master. In this ease, however, Mr. Scott discharged six men, not in the presence of a shipping master, but die chewed them himself, at Shields. By the 101st section of the act referred to, the penalty of such an act was any 911112 not exceeding 101. The Local Marine Board, how ever, thought that a fine of 21. for each sailor discharged would meet the justice of the present case, and this miti gated penalty he asked the bench to sanction in place of 101., wishing most distiretly to state that the board had no personal feelings of hostility against Mr. Scott, but merely instituted proceedings for the purpose of teaching ship owners of the port of Newcastle and other districts the law with respect to ships going from foreign porta. Captain West expressed his opinion that the case was a very proper one for this court. The bench, however, would have no objection to the mitigation of the penalty in this case. Fined 121. accordingly.—Sewcastle Chronicle. ROYAL INSTITUTION, ALIIEMARLE-STREET. —OR Saturday Professor Faraday delivered at this institution the third of a series of lectures (adapted to a juvenile audi tory) on attractive forces, before a very numerous assem blage of visitors, • large proportion of whom were of the " rising generation." The lecture (which was brought under the designation of " chemical force") was devoted to • brief illustration of the peculiarities of electricity and the attraction, Mc., produced by it. Professor . 1. a in bodice, niday lint tested its excitement to a high degree by friction such as glass with wax, resin, and then showed its entire removal by passing the hand over the bodies, the whole oecuring without any change is other properties..He next demonstrated the attraction at • distance and afterwards dwelt upon the equally powerful repulsions and the considera tions which suggested the idea of two kinds of electricity. ly e th en proceeded to illustrate the transference of the power from place to place by conviction and also by conduc tion, end the apparent independence of the power as re spected matter shown. He next called attention to the peculiarity of light and heat produced by electricity in its transmission across bad conductors, and offered, in conclu sion, some observations to prove that its presence was uni versal. The lecture was illustrated by a variety of in teresting experiments, and was listened to with much attention throughout. • (C''N cot - 7 4 - s
