eao lly economical and more certain medium - 0 1 mission. But the immense increase that has token place since the adoption of the penny an d particularly since the public became fami berwevd`..7 with the use of stamps, can only be attri tog c 0 a greater frequency of correspondence and a number of correspondents brought into play greater facilities afforded them. Th e a ugmented usefulness of the Port-office under new s y s tem is immense, even if we look only to the • the i ncre ssed number of letters transmitted. In 1839, th e f o r -weekly average of chargeable letters passing t i nal gh the London general post was 1,622,147, dueug h the London district post (exclusive of all a post letters) 1 . 021,386 : in all, 2,643,533. In l e — f ac ir weeks ending 17th April of this year the num ber of letters passing through the London General post4 s ee was 8,130,981, through the London lu r ks Post-office (exclusive of general post ytoera) 2,677,020; in all, 10,808,001. But in order to yam am adequate estimate of the extent to which the Post-office has become more efficacious for the public terra since 1838, we must take the money orders ‘the hit began to issue in the beginning of 1839 into extant During the quarter ended sth April, 1839, the ranter of money orders issued iu all England- Ti e 28,838, their amount 49,4961. ss. 83. ; the num ber paid was 23,785, their amount 43,2371. 14s. 9d. D ur ing the quarter ended sth April, 1847, the num ber of orders issued was 810,603, their amount 16 54,278/. 7. ; the number paid was 775,159, their amount 1,598,4241. 4s. Let as now look at the general results, and compare the service rendered to the public by t h e par-office in 1838 and in IM7. In 1838 t h e Loudon general and district post-offices re ceived and delivered about 8,591,487 letters in the quarter, and issued and paid no money ceders. Daring the quarter ending April 17, 1847, the London general and district post-offices re vived and delivered 33,755,111 letters ; and during the quarter ending April 5, 1847, they issued 116,629 money orders for 232,373/. 10s. I Id., and paid 241,791 for 322,529!. 6s. 7d. Even this does not convey an adequate impression of the improvement in the postal arrangements. The increased number of mail despatches and deliveries, and the increased celerity of transmission, from the conveyance of mails by railway, mast be taken into account. Nor must it be forgotten that ihrough the introduction of ocean mail steamers, the accv3eration and increased regu isrity of our postal communications have been ex truded to the whole of North America, the West ladies, the Pacific coast of South America, the Medi terranean, India, and China. While the accommodation afforded to the public by the Post-office has been increased more than fourfold in respect of letters alone, and has had a new element added to it in the money orders, the cost to indi viduals has been diminished in a ratio not easy to and the cost to the public has been com petitively trifling. The net revenue from the Post odke for the year ending sth January, 1839, was 1,614,353/. ; for the year ending sth January, 1841, it was 410,028/. ; for the year ending sth January, 1842, it was 724,7.571. During one year, and one year only, the public sacrificed, for its e..creued postal accommodation, nearly three-fourths of its Post-office revenue, or rather more than a million. Every subsequent year the deficit has been diminish. ing; last year it was little more than one half, and this year it will be less still. The deficit is gradually disappearing, and has from the first been greater, even in so far as the public revenue is concerned, in appearance than in reality; for no person acquainted with trade can doubt that the marked augmentation is other branches of revenue—particularly in the customs and excise--is in part, at least, owing to the greater briskness of trade, occasioned by increased facilities of postal communication. It is obvious, then, that in no way will there be any ultimate loss from the reduced rates of postage ; but even though there should be a permanent falling-off in the Post-office revenue even though some other source of income had to be substituted for it—its en tire sacrifice would be an inconsiderable price to pay for what we gain by it both in economical and moral respects. Let our great mercantile houses tell how they have been benefited by the change in their business relations: we can speak, from personal observation, of family ties kept unrelaxed by absence, of habits of economy and regular contribution towards the support of parents and children from small earn ings, kept alive and strengthened in humble life, despite of distance, which in former days used to extinguish them. As we anticipated, we have had several communi cations condemnatory of the present system of hos pital management in London, and not one exculpa tory. We shall, therefore, recur to the subject On turning to the report of the Commission on Charities, appointed by the House of Commons, wo find full details of the wealth, government, number of patients, and other particulars, with regard to St. Thomas's, and some other London hospitals; and we are glad to find that our own view of the matter is that, which, in almost every instance, is taken by the commission. In spite of the apparently charitable object of our hospi tals, there is much mismanagement in them. The entire control of them is frequently assumed either by individuals, who have little knowledge of the nature of such institutions, or by those who have aa interest in the medical appointments. The income of the three great London hospital.— t o, pertholomew annum. 's,G uy::s, T Of this , au ir mu h ' o ts— ma is :a s hare wrsu 23,2311. in 1837, and probably the income has arrested by this time to 30,0001. With this sum dent 50,000 patients are annually relieved; 3,300 within the walls of the hospital ; the rest out of it. Time, allowing Is. a head es the cost of the out-patients, thee will be a sum of about 81. per head spent oa each in-patient. We shall not here discuss whether this is a large or small allowance for each patient ; m only wish to show that the funds of ht. Thomas's are most ample for the relief of those who apply. This money, it appears, howeeer, is not spent in paying for medical lake or attendance; for, on turning to the physicans' sad surgeons' salaries, we find that they are allowed does the funds of the charity but forty pounds a year tit This being the sum, then, paid to surgeons sad physicians, we are not surprised to find that, when these officers are wanted in haste, they are heavenly attending to their private patients. What vulgar display is this of medical attention—six Physicians and sax surgeons, with forty pounds a year "eh, and all living away from the hospital ! Would it sot be better that these twelve salaries should be iSosssed to 1001., and then, being put together, be Pea to one man, to attend properly to the dation tle hospital ? The only persons we find who are constantly in the hospital ready to afford the relief promised by the Penton, are the apothecary and dressers. The apothecary attends to medical cases, the dressers to logical ones. We suppose the apothecary , is cons- Pleat to all cases of medical emergency, but with VA to the dressers it is expressly stated that they 'hi' tot perform the capital operations of surgery, a) that really if a man needed a capital operation to o're his life, St. Thomas's Hospital would be the Place he should be taken to. The first apo k. ... m itre shop would be a safer asylum. In the "'fissti , there is a law which prevents the only me 'on dicers in attendance from operating the s shop the patient would be sure of getting 3,tlZ, him that the knowledge of the inmate 'owed. Many a man has had his life saved by an lo performed by the nearest surgeon, and may t fear that little Durban is not the only victim t h ) lles suffered from the false reputation of the re efficiency of hospit a l attention ? medical institutions with princely incomes like r of St Thomas's Hospital, the public has a right upset that incases of emergency some more efficient , ea hand than the b e a r dl ess y ou th s w h o a c t the part These youths, we find, are not placed in this Itlihe Ili account of superior merit, or in considers- 6 .ef their ag e or t a l ents. Th ey are appo i n t e d lOrgeons, who, each, for the sum of 50/. per .have the privilege of inducting yearly four -. 7 who have not been less than six months the hospital, into this most important office. a l l4l a young man, with six months' pwi robation, m* experience as he gets by follong, with %n, the surgeons through the wards of an Phased in a position to determine whether i t, glad fora surgeon or not. In the report imad oile re alluded to, it is stated that these elms pref er taking the whole responsibility themselves to sending for the surgeon. lA_ avoid expressing our conviction that " -we " 1 7 item serious consequences must some times result. If such a host of medical officers must I be employed ia our institutions, surely the position of dresser, with all its responsibility, should be given to the most skilful and intelligent of the students, and the iniquity of making these your men pay for the privilege of tr7ing th e i r untied surgical talents upon the suffering inmates of the ospital be at once reproved and abolished. It is useless to urge, after the ease of the child Durban, that the assistant-surgeons are obliged to live near the hospital, for the purpose of attending to cases of emergency. Of the three assistant-surgeons, two, Mr. SOLET and Mr. CLARKE, live et least a mile from the hospital, and the one, Mr. TRAVERS, who lives at or near the hospital, may be, as he was on the occasion in question, attending to his own private patients. We would urge then on the governors of St. Thomas's Hospital, with all earnestness, the necessity of se curing immediately one great object of their charity, the supply of competent surgical relief at any mo ment of the day or night that suffering humanity may be brought to their doors. They have no excuse ; the means are at their disposal; they have only to I will the thing, and it is done. Let them at once wipe away the stain from their noble institution, that a human being has perished within its walls for the I want of competent surgical assistance. " JusvlcEs' justice" has long been fair game with the weekly papers; but it has been chiefly started and most merrily run down in the metropolitan police courts. If, however, we could have a reporter to every bench of magistrates, or on every occasion on which two or more justices of the peace lay their heads together in vindication of the law, we should have a much more carious assortment of game than any London police court can furnish. Whatever vagaries police magistrates may occasionally indulge in, they are at least men who have received some legal train ing. But your country justice takes his law, like the small-pox, "promiscuously." He leans on " Burn's" and his clerk. If his " Burn's" be badly in dexed, or his clerk badly read in magistrates' law, Justice fares scurvily among the trio. A case has just occurred on the Northern Circuit, which illustrates the sort of law in which the great unpaid occasionally indulge. A farmer turns his wife oat of doors, and refuses to contribute to her mainte nance. The wife has a vague notion that she has a right to help herself, as her huiband refugee to help her, and accordingly proceeds to his house, opens an unlocked stable-door, and appropriates a pony, which she carries off. Her husband charges her with the robbery. A ?magistrate commits her on the charge, knowing that 84e is the true of the num from whom she is charged with having stolen the pony! She remains in York Castle from the date of her committal in April till the assizes in July. it is, as every schoolboy knows, a fundamental maxim of the law, that husband and wife are one, and that, therefore, a wife cannot steal from her husband. That a magistrate should be ignorant of such a primary principle seems hardly credible : but so it is. The woman has thus been imprisoned for nearly four months, in direct violation of law, owing to the ignorance of the committing magistrate. We recom mend the case to the Home Secretary : it will repay investigation. We have received our Paris letters of Thursday. The Court of Peers was still in secret session, holding in its hands the fate of the accused. When the in terest felt by the public respecting this remarkable • inquest is said to be intense in the highest degree, the description is faithful and true. But to say that the moral sense of the public is deeply moved, or that the convicted offenders are objects of public in dignation, would be an utter misrepresentation of the actual state of feeling and opinion. On the contrary, in whatever way it may he explained, it is incontes table that the universal feeling is that of sympathy with the accused, nor has anything with which they are severally charged, assuming all the charges to be established, fixed such a stigma on them as the severity of the punishment denounced by the code would naturally lead us to expect. The public sentiment is in this case out of unison with the laws. Whether this arises from the conviction which, though latent, is universal, that corruption, in • like cases, is and has been general, and that MM. , Cubiercs and Pellapra have only done what has been • done, directly or indirectly, by the promoters of the large majority of the joint stock companies which have been established for the last ten years, and that they differ from hundreds of other wealthy specu i latent only in having the misfortune to have been forced before a judicial tribunal, we shall net stop to inquire. But the fact is glaringly evident that the pub , lie in general regard the prisoners of the Luxembourg as the unhappy victims of untoward events, and that if equal justice were dealt out, the prison of the chamber, were its dimensions multiplied tenfold, would not contain the guilty. At the moment our correspondent closed 'his des patches on Thursday the court had not come to a decision, nor was it expected they would on that day. The sentence must be agreed to by a majority of five eighths at least of the peers present. General Cabieres had sent to the king, it was said, his resignation as peer of France. The report which had been circulated that the son of M. Tinto had resigned his functions as deputy is contradicted. It was reported that the person who supplied M. Teste with the pistols had attempted to load them without understanding the nature of the weapon, and that this ignorance happily rendered the attempt at suicide abortive. The pistols had screw barrels, and being loaded like ordinary barrels, through the muz zles, a space was left occupied only by air between the ball and the powder, by which the explosive force of the latter was in part expended before the ball was projected. M. Teste is surrounded with the liveliest sympathy by all his friends. All his former secretaries are sedulously attentive to him, and never leave the prison, and visitors call in constant succession during the day. Although he has given a solemn promise not to make another attempt on his life, he is still kept under the strictest surveillance. Exclusively of this engrossing subject, nothing of interest is presented by the journal or correspondence of Paris. The weather continues to be marked by the same unusual temperature, the thermometer ranging daring the day between 80 and 90 deg. If a drought do not ensue, as happened during a part of last summer, there is every reason to look for a harvest and a vintage most abundant and of the best quality. The often-repeated rumour of the retirement of Mar shal Soult is renewed with more than former appear ance of reality. The aged hero has, it is said, prayed the king to allow him to retire, and pass his remain ing days in the tranquillity of his country residence. Late on Thursday it was repotted that the Court of Peers would apply the punishment assigned by the code with leniencr, that M. Testa would be deprived of civil rights and fined in the amount corruptly re ceived, but that no imprisonment would be assigned. It was believed that General Cubieres would not be degraded. Advises were received from Rome to the sth, which announced the decree for the formation of the civic guard in that city, to consist of 14 battalions. It was to consist of all citizens -beTween the ages of 21 and 60. It was expected that the same measure would be immediately extended to all the provinces of the papal states. Our advises from Madrid are to the 10th inst. The letter of our own correspondent of that date we give below. A meeting of the electors of the Moderados was to have been held on the 11th, in the Hotel d'Abrantes ; that of the progressista was to take place in the theatre of the Museum. Cabinet councils were held daily, the subject of which was said to be the Portuguese questions referred to in oar correspond ent's letter. The financial crisis, which amounts to a panic, continues. There was an alarming ran on the Bank of St. Ferdinand, on the 10th and preceding days. The bank, however, sus tained itself, and continued to pay its notes. Private letters say that the multitude collected round the doors was such, that the police was obliged to form them into a queue, as at the doors of a theatre on • crowded night. The bank had received a sup ply of specie on the evening of the 9th from Almeria, and further supplies were expected daily from the provinces, and even from abroad. The public funds are rapidly declining, as will be seen from oar Bourse I report. The Madrid mail was seized a few days previously to the 10th, and the guard detained as a prisoner by the .THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1847. DRM, Juicy • The new and unexpected ph ase A which lD Portuguese affairs have taken has excited great interest here. General Concha, in fraternising with the junta, in stead of serving the views of the court at Lisbon, has become a Spanish hero. Loud is the acclaim with which this voluntary investment of the character of high mediator and interpreter of the sentiments of the Spaniards towards their Portuguese brethren, has been received in Spain by all classes of the natives. But our diplomatic men seem to regard with a jealous and offended eye the assumption of so independent a character upon the part of the Spanish general, and appear to dread the spreading of that flame of interna tional sympathy which has been kindled so unex pectedly, and which has vibrated so electrically through the Peninsula. We received yesterday, though some what vaguely, the news that the representatives of the allied powers at Lisbon had signed a protocol dis approving of the capitulation made by General Concha and Colonel Wylde. Rumours alai prevailed that the unauthorised course taken by the former had given rise to great displeasure and equal distrust on the part of the court and of Sir Ilamilton Seymour. Are we then to conclude that the prevalence of a cordial fellowship between the Spanish and Portu guese liberals would be injurious to the interests of those two countries, or of Great Britain, or diminish the influence which we have so long natu rally exercised in Portugal ? Or is this a sally of jealousy on the part of the heads of English intervention because General Concha has throwi him self into the vacant place which they might have oc cupied with so much more credit to themselves, insp.ring the junta with confidence in their protection, instead of filling that party with distrust, fear, and aversion ? Those who think that a cordial union be tween the Spanish and Portuguese masses, or the political union between Spain and Portugal, which might result from that sympathy, would damage English commerce or English influence in the Penin sula, reason thus: to-morrow you will have the Montpensiers on the throne of Spain, and the union of Spain and Portugal would end in the submission of both to France. Your commerce will be ousted then from the Portuguese ports, as it is now from the Spanish. If the mere rumour that Espartero harboured the intention of removing the restrictions upon English trade sufficed, through French agency, to fan Catalonia into a flame, which soon extended to all Spain, and chased the regent out of Cadiz, do you suppose that you can make head !against French influence in the peninsula, when there is a French prince on the Spanish throne, extending his sceptre over Portugal ? So these reason ; but to all minds by no means conclusively. For the union of the Spanish and Portuguese people would tend to the triumph of constitutional principles in both coun tries, and consequently to the repression of that abso lutism and those usurpations on the part of the go vernment, which are the chief curse of the peninsula. Whatever, therefore, may be the views of Gen. Concha in cultivating the confidence of tho junta; whether he is playing the game of France, or gra tifying his own vanity or ambition, there appears no reason why the course he is pursuing should be &Mende with any mischief to the interests of Great The state of things here is truly lamentable. The government must soon come to a dead-lock. The notices, inviting capitalists to compete for the farming of the taxes in the different districts, seem, in a great number of cases, to have been answered by nobody. And if there seems to be a general reluctance to succeed the agents of the Bank of St. Fernando in their tax-gathering function, there also appears to exist on the part of some of the functionaries of the said bank a great reluctance to surrender to the government the contributions they have in their possession. At least, the Espanol of to-day reports that General Pavia has received peremptory orders t from the government to wrest out of the hands of the Barcelona collector for the bank of St. Fernando, by force of arms if needful, one million and a half of reels, which he retains under pretext of the govern ment's engagements with the bank not having been completed. Every description of security is falling in the market, and no one can raise a penny upon shares of any kind, but at an enormous loss. The poor three per mats. have tumbled down to 25. Every body who has any coin locks it up, the Correo says, to spite the government. What better proof that the wealthy classes are all arrayed against the government? The Faro says that Senhor Pacheco, having given his wife a ribbon, had now better get one for him self, and accept the embassy to Home. Meantime, all accounts of the Carliata are most favourable to the cause of order and tranquillity. They were getting routed and dispersed on ell hands OPORTO, JULY 10. On the 30th ult., the Spanish army entered into this city, under the command of General D. Manuel de la Concha. The forces of the junta were, in accordance with stipulations entered into, disarmed, but the greater part of them succeeded, in the preceding night, to return to their native places, armed and equipped, to wait there the course of events. The Spanish general published a proclamation, the terms of which were approved of by all parties. It breathes conciliation and protection to all politicians; and I am glad to see that he has kept his word. As soon as the city was in possession of the Spanish army, the brave Cabralistas rushed into the place, and all the public offices were instantly occupied by them, and even employes of fourteen years' standing were turned out, because they happened to belong to the Septembrist _party. By Sal dan's nomination a moat desperate Cabralista, Jose Laurence Pinto, was invested with the administrative government of the district of Oporto. Men convicted of murder and corruption are the chosen to fill the first places. The municipal body, elected by the suffrages of the people, was dismissed, and a commission named, at whose head is a son of the Conde de Serena, a well known Cabralista, who had in the Cortes of Cabral's administration four eons, all of them deputies. and all of them wretched slaves of those ministers. This was, in fact, a Cabrslista Restattration. . . . The allied powers may sanction all these atrocities ; they may, with their armies end their fleets, enslave this people, that so aobly fought for their liberties ; but they may be enured that, as soon as they leave their protegee to herself, and to the keeping of her friends the Cabralistas, the people will again vindicate their rights, and she will repent, but per. hap too late, the support she sought in foreign bayonets. The province of Minho has already commenced the holy war. The people at Braga disarmed a force of Spanish soldiers, and a brigade was sent there in great haste. The Portuguese battalion No 1. commanded by Joaquins Benito, was sent to Guimaraes, because the armed people were mai ten of that town. I understand that accounts have been re ceived from that place, stating that the soldiers are sur rounded by people, and cannot even run away. At ten o'clock last night, Infantry No. 15 started from here to Aviero. That town is in possession of the people; the Cabralista authorities, to save their lives, were obliged to run away. A person highly connected arrived lately from Lisbon, by • steamer, and states that it is asserted that the decrees for the new ministry are already signed: palmella, President; Rodrigo da Fonseca Magalhaes, Interior ; Jose Jorge Lourairo, Guerra; Jervea d Atouguia, Marinha ; Antonio Joie d'Avila, Fasenda; Coode di Disraeli°, Ratrangeiros. All of these gentlemen are well known Carlistas, and would be a ministry accepted by the national party, because it only wants a government composed of honest men. On the 7th inst. Saldanha and his victorious army (!! made his entry in Oporto. The enthusiasm was ordered beforehand by the municipality, and therefore there were not wanting Prides, the very pleasing sound of the bells, for three successive days and nighu, and illuminations; and the inhabitants that were not susceptible of enthusiasm had ell their windows brokeu! TURKEY.—Mostm, Max 30.—Many important and iailuential persons have abandoned Bederhan Bey, and submitted to the governor of Mond. Amongst them are the sons of Said Bey, one of the most powerful and in fluential chiefs in Kurdistan. Abandoned by his oldest and staunchest followers, Bederhan Bey can make but feeble resistance. He still asserts that he will oppose force by force, and that if others are cowards, he is not, and will never dishonour himself in the eyes of his followers. The Persian government has intimated to him that, in the event of his entering the Persian territory, alter tiring a single shot, he will be seized and delivered tip to the Porte. But that if he chooses to take an asylum there previous to an engagement with the Ottoman troops, he may remain there without molestation. This has placed Bederhan Bey in a dilemma. The Turkish army, composed of 2.5,000 men, horse, foot, and artillery, are now at Djezirf. The com mander-in-chief, Osman Pacha, has obtained en imperial Erman, couched in the mildest terms of clemency from the Porte, to induce Bederhan Bey to submit, sad spare an effusion of blood. This he sent by a deputation of priests, who presented it to Bederhan Bey, bat all was useless ; he refused to submit, inying he would become a free prince in Kardistan, or perish in the attempt. The neat accounts will announce either a battle, the submission of Bederhan Bey, or his flight into Persia. COLONIAL APPOINTMENTS.—Mr. Maedonnell, the Chief Justice of the Gambia, is to be the new governor ; his successor in the chiefjustiosihip is not yet appointed. Lieut.- Col.

BRADBURY AND EVANS.—" We are not surprised," says the Morning Poet, " at the nun plaint which a cheap daily newspaper has made on the subject of an adverse verdict the other day in the Court of Common Pleas. The sub-editor of the paper in ques tion permitted a report to be inserted, which was not in itself untrue, but which was of no public interest ; the ob ject of the insertion being merely to gratify another person in the newspaper establishment, who had a spite against an individual who figured unfavourably in the report. Not only did the sub-editor do this, but when a letter on the subject elf this report was addressed to the proprietors of the paper, UT'S opened by the sub-editor, and did not reach the hands duo proprietors. For this conduct the sub-editor was dismissal s and, as it appears to us, very properly dismissed. However, he brings an action against them who had engaged and that; dismissed him, and the jury gave him five hundred pounds damages. So far as we can judge from the printed report of the trial, this was a very stupid and unjust verdict, and when we compare it with the charge of the learned judge who tried the cause, we cannot help thinking that his lordship's opinion of the verdict cannon have been very different from ours."—Our contemporary then pro. reeds to comment on the tone and temper in which we brought the subject under consideration—calls the article "purist rhodomontade,", and states that we "would have the world believe that no journal ever before took ouch pains to be a perfect model of what a public journal ought to be." If the principles enunciated in that article are to be considered mere rhodomontade, we are sorry—not for ourselves, who have faith in them, but for those who have not. Our contemporary, however, should remember that we remained silent for some days; and that, had he and other journalists spoken out on the occasion, we might have moped from the necessity of writing one word on the subject. Their silence, however, tended naturally to the inference that they coucurred in the verdict. Al to claiming any moral superiority for ourselves, we answer that our contemporary his misread the passage to which he re fers. We did not say that our virtues, but that our respon sibilities, were greater, and gave our reasons. Thebest answer will be the passage itself,which we will here of in proof Let us remark, without any assumption of a moral supe riority over our rivals generally, that this elaborate system of checks rendered any published delinquency of the kind more conspicuous and less excusable in our paper Man in another. In journals that give more paper and less editor. ship than we do—that accept their unsystematised materials with fewer of the formal characters of responsibility then po. Hester plan impresses on our own—an error of the our kind, though always to be lamented, might yet be explaissei and repaired by many arguments of which we Aare V 01111 h tarily and by anticipation deprived ourselves. From Me responsibilities of such a system of sifting as ours there is no escape." Our contemporary, when he ascribes to us an intended monopoly of the desire to " avoid everything like private injury in the exercise of our public vocations," for gets, that we expressed our conviction that every one of our brethren of the daily journals would have asserted the same P rinciple, and acted for its assertion as we did. We formally included them all, in whatever pretension we set up. As we are quite in earnest in all we have said, and very glad to have our contemporary's declared approval of the principle fur upholding which we incurred the action, we take no notice of the uncourteous manner in which that declaration is conveyed. ROYAL NAVAL SCIIOOL.—A special general meet ing was held yesterday at the Thatched House, St. James's street, Rear-Admiral Bowles, M.l'., president, in the chair, in pursuance of a requisition from several subscribers, for the purpose of rescinding the resolution passed on the 26th May last, to the effect that the school be opened to the sons of junior officers, and that the council be empowered to admit such other pupils as they shall deem expedient at such charge as they may think fit. A second resolu tion referred It to the council to take steps to ob tain the necessary sot of parliament. The chairman said that, after mature consideration of the subject, he agreed with his colleagues that the school could not be car ried on unless some efforts were made to fill it. There were once 400 boys in the institution, and at present there were only 140. He hoped the meeting would consider the ques tion dispassionately. His opinion was that they were not in a condition to come to a decision, and recommended an ad journment for three or four months. Sir Charles Ogle moved that the question be at once considered, and he seem ing to carry the meeting with him, it was so settled. Sir C. Ogle was sure that all the gentlemen around, with many of whom he had so long served, had the interests of the school et heart. He did think that the admis sion of the sons of others than those of naval offi cers was contrary to the first principle on which the school was founded. The committee for managing the patriotic fund would oppose the act in parliament, so that at beat it was but an experiment. He knew, too, of many who woula immediately withdraw their subscriptions, tf the proposed change were agreed to ; among others, he had a letter from Alderman Laces, which showed that even civilians were averse to the change, statiag that if the resolutions were carried out he would withdraw his subscription ; and, further, that he (Alderman Lucas) had left a sum of money to the school in his will, and he would strike out the codicil. Captain Drew seconded Sr Charles Ogle's motion for re scinding the resolution. He contended that the feet of their having raised and expended 40,0001. since the commencement, 11 years ago, was sufficient guarantee that the supporters would not allow the charity to fall to the ground. Lieut. Barker thought that if naval officers of rank could be per suaded to send their sons to the school, it would greatly benefit the institution. After much discussion, pro and con, some contending that the school could not go on without an increase in the aumber of pupils, others that if civilians were admitted it would take away its character as a Royal Naval School, and, after an amendment had been moved and lost for the postponement of the question, the motion for rescinding the resolution was put, and earn= by a majority of 32 against 26. The chairman begged those present to wait while the council withdrew; they returned in a few maseents, the chairman announcing that they had decided igen resigning the trust confided in them, oossidering the vete as one of went of confidence. Many gentlemen pre sent, on the rescindiag of the resolution, informed the secre tary, some that they would double, others treble, and tome quadruple their annual subscriptions, • list of the names of such gentlemen being taken by the secretary. A vote of thanks to, and confidence in, the chairman and commit, closed the proceedings. THE EXHIBITION OF WORKS OF ART IN WEST /assess HALL, intended for the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament, will be opened to the public, free of charge, on Monday, and will remain open untll farther notice, gratis; except on Saturdays, on which day a charge will still be made. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. ELY, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The adjourned inquest upon the body of Theresa Staples, en engine-driver in the employ of the above railway company, who was killed through the engine and tender running off the Peterborough and Ely Railway, on Wednesday week last, wee resumed before Mr. W. Marshall, coroner for the Isle of Ely. John Mays said he was a stoker in the service of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. On Thursday, the Bth inst., he was acting so stoker to the train whith left Peterborough at ten minutes put six. He arrived at Manse in safety. The train consisted of engine and tender, a lug gage van, and two carriages, a find and second clam. Thomas Staples, the deceased, drove the engine. The witness was stirring the fire when the accident took place, but knew nothing of how it happened. The train was going at a very steady pace. Never notioed any jerk when going over the spot where the accident happened, The train was going at the rate of from 2.3 to 30 miles an hour down an incline of I in 264. John Gardiner of Peterborough examined I was a guard to the train which left Peterborough at ten minutes past 6 in the morning of Thursday week last. The train arrived at Manes eight minutes behind time. On nearing the Hun dred Foot Bridge, the engine on getting about 50 or 60 feet over the viaduct, went suddenly off the line without any warning. I did not notice any jerking previous on coming off the viaduct. I have travelled the line since its opening in January last, but never experienced any jerking going over the fen country. As soon as possible after the accident I got out of the van, which was thrown over on to the up line, and saw the driver under the van, the tye-rod connecting the axle guards pressing upon his chest and crushing him. He appeared dead when we got him out. The engine rolled down the embankment, and the tender fell on the up line. We were travelling at the rate of from 30 to 40 miles en hour. I do not know that the engine-driver knew we were behind time. It is not usual to communicate to the drivers that we are behind time. We have no orders to do so. The driver carries a watch, and 4 able to know the time as well as we do. The guards only have to give an account of the time, and we have to render an account to our superior officer; but I have never been fi ned for any tom of time. I went back to the line, and saw the left-hand rail of the up line had " fallen out," but Ido not know how much. I went back to the viaduct, and found the rails were torn up about 50 or 60 feet from it. The ballast was torn up, and the sleepers cut through. The Rev. R. G. King, of Wisbeach said I was a pigeon ger in the train from Wisbeach to London, and took a seat an the coupd, the window looking towards the engine. Just before the accident happened I remarked to my companions that we were travelling at a good speed. Suddenly, without any warning, the Pronto( the carriage in which I wassailing was broken in, and at the same moment I saw the engine bottom upwards at the bottom of the embankment. The wheels of the carriage in which 1 was riding were off the metal, and I was assisted out of it through the window. The rails for some distance :rom the end of the viaduct were per fect, and the engine must have gone off the line suddenly as we were brought to a stand still in a moment. Wm. Stanfield described the state of the rails, it being his duty to inspect them between Ely and Peterborough. The nil at the spot where the accident happened were lifted on the Saturday previous, it having " run down a bit" at this spot, but I did not think it very dangerous. I think 18 sleepers were cut through. I cannot anyhow the accident happened. James Dykes, a plate layer in the service of the company, also spoke to the state of the rails, and admitted that he had said that sufficient hands were not employed to keep the road at the spot where the accident happened in a proper state of repair. It settled so much at the spot where the accident took place, that he told Mr. Jackson, the managing foreman to Mr. Peto, the contractor for the permanent way, that more hands were required to keep up the embankment. Three days after that mare men were sent. The con versation took place about ten days before the accident. The last time the rails were raised up to their true gauge, wag three months since. If there had been more hands, the rails would have been lifted oftener. It sank more than usual just off tke viaduct than in other places. I was about 290 yards from the spot when the accident happened, and before it ran off the line I saw the engine wriggle a good deal, as engines do when they go fut. I never saw one go so fast on this lice before as the one deceased drove at the time of the accident. The up line is sunk six inches lower than the down line. I know at by having measured it by my gauge stick. Mr. John Hunter, locomotive superintendent, spoke to there being no defect in the rails (portions of one broken being brought into the inquest-room for veaminstion), and also to the condition and working power of the engine, which was capable of going at the rate of 50 miles an hour. The rail appeared to have been broken by a lateral and not by a downward pressure. ELT.-BATURDAT MORNTNO, 2 o'CLoeg.—(By Electric Telegraph.)—The jury have just returned a verdict to the effect " That the deceased's death was reamed by the too great speed of the engine on an embankment out of order." ALLEGED DEATH FROM VIOLENCE DI THE DURREY COUNTY LUNATIC ASYLUM. Yesterday an extraordinary special meeting of " The Committee of Visitors" of the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum was held in the board room of the asylum, to inquire into the cause of the death of James Burden, a lunatic, whose decease was alleged to have been caused by violence received whilst an inmate of that institution.—The chairman, Mr. Kemble, M.P., stated that no ono was charged with any specific offence. Mr. Bridgeland, the steward, said that on Monday, June the 14th, Mr. Ilollsnd, the medical officer, reported to him that the deceased had had a pain in his aide for live days pest. lie visited the patient, who said that he was very unwell during the night, and about 10 or 11 o'clock he knocked hard at his door to be let out, and on the door being opened he received a severe blow in his side from some man with a long pole. The force of the blow drove hint back against the wall with great violence Since that time, which wan three days be he had suffered much pain, and had great difficulty in breathing. During this interview deceased appeared quite rational. Mr. Joseph Holland, resident surgeon of the institution, stated that on Sunday, the 10th, he found deceased suf fering from diarrhcca, and in a state of great exhaustion. lie treated him accordingly, but at 8 o'clock ir, the evening he found him breathing with great difficulty ; his pulse was quick, and akin hot. Witness was about to ask the deceased some questions, when the attendant, John Steel, remarked that he had made a strange complaint to Sir Alexander Mor rison, to the effect that he had been ill.used by him, Steel. He examined the deceased, and discovered that he had a broken rib on the right side there were two contusions ou the right side of the body. Deceased gradually sank, and died on the 23rd ult. The post mortem exami nation showed that the eighth rib was fractured, and that that injury was the cause of death. He found deceased, on one occasion, locked up in his room till betweca 10 and 11 o'clock, and he was then in a most filthy state. John Logan Steel said deceased had complained of a pain in his side from the time he was admitted. Deceased had told him that he had quarrelled with Roberta, another patient, who had kicked him in the side. Ho told Sir Alex ander Morrison that he was kicked. He had also told witness he had been violently assaulted in Brixton gaol. James Burden, the son of the deceased, maid that his father had told him, his wife, and his mother, that his teeth had bees knocked out, his eyes blackened, his head knocked against the wall, sad he had been violently , thrown against the side of the bedstead, which had hurt his ribs Deceased told his mother he had been struck with a piece cf the bedstead. The keeper Steel appeared to be attentive to deceased. Steel turned the conversation on two or three occasions when deceased was about to speak. The committee consulted for a few minutes, and expressed their opinion on the cane in a resolution that " the committee are not enabled to decide whether the injury from which the II deceased died was occasioned by a blow received on or about the let of June, in a scuffle which took place between him and &lunatic of the name of Roberts ; whether it was from the injury received in a fall which he got in attempting to get through the ventilator over the door of his ward; or from the blow stated by him to have been inflicted lay some of the attendants. They regret the unsatisfactory manner of this conclusion, but they feel that it would be unjust to the attendants to throw upon them, or any one of them, a stigma which is not borne out by the evidence." ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. _ . The following passage appeared this day in your article on the late election for the county of Cork : Mr. Leader's committee meld tell strange stones of the demands made for nesting, and other travelling charges, by the Brunswick squires and country gentlemen who were loudest in ursine him to come forward and rescue the county from a repealer. Had he con noted to comply with such exorbitant demands he would now be the Moine member. It is said he menaces an exposure of the shabbiness of thee patriotic gentlemen, he., he. I cannot allow such an assertion to go uncontradieted, es pecially at a period when such extravagant statements are made about Irish proprietors. You must have been egre giously imposed upon if you believe any such demands were made, or that I have any exposures in my power. The fact/ of the late election are these : The repeaters of the county of Cork after the vacancy occurring in the representation of that county, having allowed a considerable time to clam before they brought forward a candidate, the gentry of that county hoped that the repeal chimera had vanished, and that a feeling of confidence was arising between tenant and landlord. The gentry and conservatives were not prepared for a contested election, and most unwilling, in the present condition of that unfortunate county, to bring on the excitement and disturbance of a contest. But if such desir able views were gaining ground, as those of confidence be tween landlord and tenant, and the evaporation of the repeal agitation, we felt we should be neglecting our duty if we did not afford an opportunity for their manfeatation. No coun try gentlemen could have come forward more liberally to meet the rational views of the mass of the country people than the gentry of the county of Cork. How they were met is proved by the cheers which responded to the assertion of Dr. Power, that " the landlords of Ireland wets the descendants of the English garrison that enslaved and robbed them, and that none of that °bun should ever represent an Irish constituency." It is absurd to draw any inference from the numbers polled at last election. When we saw th►t the repeal party were as motive and vigorous as in the lifetime of Mr. and that there was no change to rational view" among the poorer electors, we withdrew. Disappointed and disgusted as the conservatives of Ireland are by the events which occurred since the last 'general election, I am oaly surprised so many took the trotible of coming from long distanced to give their votes.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, N. P. LIADEIL.—JuIy 16. CotcHnirran..—The tory party, after the retirement of Mr. 1). W. Harvey, marked this borough as their own. Their fancied security has, however, been somewhat dis turbed by the appearance of another whig candidate in the parson • Mr. J. A. Hardcutle, of Copfold-hall, Writtle—a gentleman of considerable property and Influence. Bain*, Q.C., has consented to become a candidate, and, as a preliminary step, he forwarded to the Home-office from York, on Thursday afternoon, hie resigna tion of the aim of recorder of this borough. A deputation has proceeded to invite Mr. Lefevre to stand for Mad along with Mr. Baines. _ . iIITIIPOOL.:Lord John Manners yesterday addressed the electors on 'Change. His speech wits lengthy but interest ing, and his declaration relative to free trade in tea and tobacco caused much remark.

But if this is your opinion u to these custom duties, what do you think of the onerous and restrictive sys tem of excise ?—that system established by the rebels is 1649, and which has been declared by na less an authority than Sir William Blackstone to be distasteful from the com mencement to the ears of the people of England—teP.t sys tem which, in 1842, upon five articles of great consumptioa levied a tax of ten millions of money. Let me ask if you are not prepared to assist those vat., will attempt to reduce and gradually abolish those most obnoxious duties, whisk interfere with the comforts of the people, and place the greatest bar upon the improvement of domestic niai.ufao tures. Crew or Lowoow.—A combined meeting of the el , eters of the Words of Broad-street, Cornhill, Langbourne, and Lime-street was held yesterday at the Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of receiving the explanations and guarantees which the liberal candidates were prepared to give them respecting their political sentiments. . Mr. Pres cott in the chair.—Mr. Pattison repeated the declara tions in favour of liberal =mores which he had made at previons meetings. He was followed by Sir George Larpent, who, amongst other things, said he was disposed to support a property tax rather than a tax on incomes; and he was also disposed to abolish the window tax, always, however, bearing in mind the necessity for col lecting money enough to pay the just debts of the nation.— Baron Rothschild afterwards spoke, but all three candidates only reiterated the sentiments they had before expressed at similar gatherings. A motion that, on account at his edu cational measure, the name of Lord J. Russell be omitted teem the list of liberal candidates having been defeated, Mr. Roebuck, M.P., came forward to propose a vote of thanks to the chairman. (Cries of" Who are you? Name!') His name was; unfortunately, too well known. lie had often had occasion to oppose the measures of the noble lord at the head of the government, and, in comrany with Mr. Pattison, bad, at several different times, gone into rho lobby to vete against Lord John Itu•sell. But was that any reason why he should now oppose his return to parliament, cr let in one of the enemies of the people ? It was true the noble lord was not disposed to go so far as he (Mr. Roebuck) would do. But that formed no ground for endeavouring to exclude him front parliament. The opinions held by him (Mr. Roebuck) were not to firm the standard of every one of the liberal pasty; and let him remind this meeting that there were many who talked largely at toleration and of religicus liberty who did not quite under stand what those words meant. He was prepared [herder* to support the man who had proved himself a friend to free dom, and nut those who had uniformly been its enemies. He had voted against Lord John Russell's education plan, and he should probably have again oximion to do so. Bat was that a reason for preferring a tory ? Lord John Russell was a high-minded and generous man. He had found out that he was wrong in his finality scheme, ane. he was prepared to carry out the Reform Bill to its just limits. Where could they find a better man for doing that than him who had projected that measure ? The hon. member concluded by muting a vote of thanks to Mr. Prescott, who, having acknowledged the compliment, dissolved the meeting. A meeting of conserntive electors was held yes terday at the King 'a Head, Poultry. Ihe chair was taken by Alderman Sir William Magnay. Mr. Mmtermen addressed the meeting in expvition of some points of his political creed, alluding particularly to the new poor-law, and avowing his opposition to the separation of man and wife. He expressed his equal dissent from any eraloament of Roman catholic., as being detrimental to the cause of pro testantiam.—Alderman Johnson followed, alluding, among other matters, to his connexion with commerce, which enabled him to appreciate the force of many obje.tione which were made to the excise laws, and to taxation on im ports of a small description. He objected also to the window tax.—Mr. Bevan expressed a general wish to uphold the existing institutions of the country, at the same time that he did not object to some alterations and modifications of them. Ile condemned in strong terms the system forwent% tit the catholic', and declared himself equally opposed to leaving the established religion of the country to take care of itself without any aid at all. He was in favour generally of pro tectionist principles, but had no objection to free-trade as far as it could he carried out with safety to the country.—Mr. Freshfield, alluded to the course which he had pursued while in parliament, which be considered to have been that of an independent member, inasmuch as, although a nominal and avowed supporter of Sir Robert Peel, he had always voted against him when he conceived Lim to be in the wrong. With regard to free trade, ►e had no objection to its principles as long as the) , were carried out only as far as was the interest of the English producer. He concurred with Mr. Masterman en the subject of the poor•law ; he had vent four years on a committee for its amendment, and had always taken a strong part &Oust some of its provision', The speakers were received with considerable approbation_ A resolution, approving of the tour candidate, was agreed to. Norrneonam.—On Thursday a requisition to Lord Lin coln was prepared, and a committee appointed to promote his election for this town. PLTSIOCTIL—Mr. Crowder is actively eurnaeing the electors of this place. Perim—The following is the substance of Mr. Maule's reply to a letter on behalf of the Edinburgh an 1 Perth Railway .—" Should I he again returaed for Perth (far which I do mean to stand again), I know of no relation ia which I stand, either publicly or privately, which pre vent my giving a full and cordial support to a railway be tween Edinburgh and Perth. I have been called the vies chairman of the Caledonian, I am, however, only a director in that company." SUNDEILLASIL—A correspondent says, " Mr. Hudson's committee have completed the most successful canvass that was ever made in this borough, and eren Mr. Wilkinson's supporters admit that they can in no way endanger his re election. They are endeavouring to secure the second seat for Mr. Wilkinson, and to gain this aro willing to discard Mr. Barclay without a scruple. Th.re will be a fierce con test for the second seat, and party feeling among the liberaki begins to run rather strong. Mr. Barclay's influence is from local connexions great in the borough, end he will have the , support of most of the liberals, except the few who ars opposed to ministers on the education question. Mr. Bar clay wavers on the subject of the navigation laws, het if he were to declare decidedly in their favour his election would be safe. Wishing to please all parties by a kind of neutral college, he will please none, and thereby endanger his elec tion; but my present conviction is that he will beat Mr. Wilkinson by • good majority." WILTS, Douro.—Mr. Long, M.P., is is the field as a candidate. IRELAND. Dueme, JULY 15. Thg remains of Mr. O'Connell are liable to strange accidents. Instead of arriving here next week, they are to remain for another month in Genoa, and may not be expected in Dublin until the middle of August. The secretary of the Dublin Cemeteries Company was specially sent to superintend the removal of the body on board the Montrose steamer. On his arrival at Genoa, he found no instructions from Dr. Miley or Mr. D. O'Connell (which, it appears, were wholly un necessary, from the positive character of his own), and, in their absence, refused to ship the remain; although pressed hard by the captein of the Montrose. A very important circular has just been issued from the Poor-law commission office, relative to a new class of public functionaries—relieving officers under the new act. It first calls on the boards of guardians to advertise at once for competent persons, in conse quence of the approaching circumstances of tempc rary relief ; and then describes briefly and perspi cuously the duties to be performed by the new offi cers. Next follows the question of salary, which of course must vary with the extent of the district and the laboriousness of the duty; bat a minimum is fixed at 351. per annum, which in the case of large towns, may be doubled. Thus, it appears, the commissioners will sanction no higher salary for a relieving officer than 701. a year. The number is an important consideration, and in this particular the circular lays down, first, that in unions under the Temporary Relief Act, relieving officers may be advertised for in the proportion of one to each relief district ; and, secondly, in reference to unions or electoral divisions not under the act, the proportion may be one officer to a population of about 12,000. The resignation of the chairman of the Ballymoney board, in consequence of fixing . on him a personal re. sponsibility, has excited various other boards to denounce the 28th sect. of the new act. In conse quence of a "stir" in the North Dublin Union, the Lord Mayor, as chairman, waited upon Lord CIA- f maiden, who informed him that the Attorney-General had given his opinion that no such practical inoon venienoewonld follow, or if there should, the govern meat would cheerfully apply a remedy next session. I,"' This satisfied all grumblers. The New York correspondent of the Freeman's " Journal states, that from the Ist of April to the 27th r rr of June, 74,184 emigrants, or at the rate of 1,000 per diem, arrived at the quarantine ground of that city. In the three preceding months the arrivals were about :- 16,000, making in all 90,000, or as much as the • r entire emigrations of other years.
