The old stagers, who move twice a day between the Bank and Paddington, quietly secure their accustomed seats on the right or left, while a promiscuous body of casual passengers, thrust in by the conductor, with the assurance that there is plenty of room, force their way to the end, or stand in doubt which of two crowded and inconvenient seats to select as the lees undesirable. After a time they will be shaken into their places, and it there with more or lees change of position till the arrival of the parliamentary conveyance, at its terminus, dismisses them once more to their respective destinations. For a month past we have been principally employed in observing and communicating to our readers the general arrangements for the political journey as indicated by the character of the principal and beet known passengers; but now that a time of greater leisure has arrived, it may not be inappro priate to call attention to some of the stray travellers who have yet to find their places in the vehicle which is preparing to start. The present parliament has been compared by me of our contemporaries, from the variety of inigratta interests, and theories which its members to the first which assembled under the pesricisM a[ the Reform Bill, when many inexperienced s i = politicians for the first time entered on a career. There was, however, in 1833, a more diodes& separation of parties than any which now exists. The minority, though small in numbers, was imaismay able and formidable to compel the majority to pre serve a certain discipline and unity, and in all parts . of the house there were rather differences of opinion depending on degrees of conservatism or liberalism, than cross-sections of interests which now seem likely to divide the house in other directions betides those which front each other from the right and left of the SPEAKER'S chair. The Irish party, the protestant party, and the various currency parties, will probably o ft en appear as independent minorities; and those who compose them will at first be likely to pursue their own peculiar objects with greater real than they will devote to the general measures of the great political parties. It is by no means desirable to suppress the activity of these minor groups and cliques. Men who devote them selves to a particular class of measures, while they generally overrate the importance of their own special objects, are seldom devoid of some idea, which, without each advocacy, would be in danger of entire neglect and 'suppression. Even anti-economic phi-1 lanthropists have their use in the political world, though, for the most part, the least trustworthy of politicians. • There is one little party in the new house of which few of our readers have probably heard, so small, in deed, that it consists, as far as we know, of only two members, and so fantastical in some of its notions, that we should hardly think it deserving of even this passing notice, if we did not think that it positioned a confused image of an idea which requires to be more distinctly recosnised by the English parliament and public. Mr. URQUHART who headed the poll at Staf ford in connexion with we forget which political party and Mr. ANSTET, who has been returned for Yougind as a repealer, are the advocatesof doctrines of whichthefrequenters of Conciliation-hall and the shoe makers of Stafford are equally innocent and ignorant. Mr. Misr ev's views ire familiar to the readers of the organ of the English catholics,the uncompromisingbut able Tablet. Mr. URQUHART'S are, for the most part, buried, together with many ingenious lucubration's of hie cathohc coadjutor, in a still-born monthly periodical called, in memory of a more notorious publication, the Portfolio, which three or four years ago was con tinued for a time for the instruction of a few devoted disciples, and the edification of still fewer collectors of p olitical _ oddities and eccentricities. Mr. URQUHART'S personal disp utes with Lord PAL MERSTON have made his name known to the public, but have probably given our readers as little inclina tion as ourselves to investigate or discuss their merits. Right or wrong, Lord Pstnnisron has had every reason to congratulate himself hitherto on the results ; for the indignation and patriotism of the ex-secretary of embassy have led him to attack his former chief in language so outrageous, and with charges so extrava gant, as not only to deprive his statements and opinions of all weight and respectability, but to throw ridicule on every attack upon his enemy which could be supposed in any way to be connected with his own. Instead of imputing to his adversary the or dinary motives of personal and party aggrandisement, which may distort the conduct of an English minister, Mr. UatiewAar, supported by a small band of devoted and credulous disciples, has again and again accused Lord PALMERSTON of deliberate complicity with Russia for treasonable purposes, and has repeatedly demanded his impeachment, and prophesied his pub lic execution. It is hardly necessary to say that he never offered a particle of evidence in support of his charges.lt is part of his political religion to believe thsd PALMERSTON is incapable of an error, a weakness, or even a minor crime. He represents him ass satanic intelligence, who deliberately contrives, with full foresight, the ruin of England and of Europe, for the benefit of the principle of evil, represented by the government of Russia. The other statesmen of England, especially Lord ABERDEEN, are, according to the URQUHARTITES' need, the feeble, but more or less guilty, tools of the AHRIMAN of Tiverton. If they oppose him, it is by his orders that they do so, to lull suspicion ; if they agree with him, their treason is open and evident. We are by no means certain that the whole English nation is not involved in the plot to enslave itself to Russia, as CHARLES H. leagued himself with the papists for the purpose of his own assassination. The only result of Mr. URQUHART'S extravagance is that to which we have already referred. It is not un common for an opponent of any part of Lord PALMER STON'B policy to be met by the remark, " What! are you an Criphartite ?" Tints OATES led people for a time to believe that a papist could not plot. Mr. URQUHART makes his Mims unwilling to believe that a Foreign Secretary can make a mistake. Nevertheless, Mr. URQUHART is neither a mere maniac nor an ordisary blunderer. In foreign coun tries he has produced by his activity and his great command of languages an impression which he has failed to effect in England. In the prosecution of his main object he has collected mach rare information, and thrown out more than one important suggestion. Above all, he is possumed with the idea at the foreign policy of England is the paramount and the most neglected duty of the nation. This is the idea which it is his mission to proclaim in parliament ; and it, amidst all the ridicule which will attach to his extravagances, and the anger which his accusations may not unjustly . excite, he can obtain a hearing for this great principle, he will have been so far a beeshotor to his country. It was only last maw that we heard Lord JOHN &WELL calmly state, mad the house as calmly adopt, the proposition ihatthe Hone of Commons selclomtronbled itself about tgepolitics. That the statement was true is most i tt; tz*, it mitt not w have been tree, and it ought not to have; been made. The House of mons is virtually the sovereign of a large portion of the inhabited world, and it is responsible for the ap plication of the greatest power now disposable by hwan hands. A feeling of this deep responsibility, a just indignation at the neglect which he receiv ed, may probably be at the bottom of Mr. URQUHART'S ravings, the little leaven of truth which makes it pos sible for his fantastic absurdities to find a hearing. A prophet who has one grain of inspiration may do good, though hie creed be the falsest and wilde st which human perversity ever devised. If he can only rave in the market-place, he will at worst do little harm. Mr. ANISTET, whom we have spoken of as Mr. Uacitrasar's principal follower, has backed up his opinions with a strange medley of ingenious legal and constitutional absurdities. He has introduced into the Urqohartite creed the doctrine that the discon tinuance of the old powers of the privy council is one LONDON, WEDNESDAY, A UG. 25. CONSIDERABLE excitement has naturally been oc casioned by the failure of the house in which the governor of the Bank of England is the senior part ner; and this excitement has not been diminished by reminiscences as to the number of his predecessors who have shared the same fate. Of course suggestions for guarding against the re currence of mishaps so likely to engender distrust in the management of this powerful establishment have been thrown out. There is one of these suggestions against which a protest cannot be too early and em phatically entered. It is cautiously insinuated. The writer who throws it out calls for a permanent managing director or governor of the Bank ; a man " not actually engaged DI commerce ; " if a man possessing " commercial ex perience " so much the better ; but, by all means, a man who has " a certain kind of political knowledge." Bow this governor, or whatever else he is to be called, is to be appointed, the writer in question says not ; but it can scarcely be by the shareholders. We have heard it suggested that the shareholders might elect a list of three, out of whom ministers might choose the governor. This would probably be the least objectionable way ; for a government appointment the appointment of a political Bank manager must of necessity become. But such an arrangement is inadmissible. The Bank is at present an essen tially commercial institution, possessing an unac knowledged political character : it would, in the case supposed, become a political institution with an acci dental commercial character. Nothing could be more dangerous to the industrial and commercial interests of the country than the empowering a minister—a ci-devantorchlettaste merchant—to control the national currency and credit, not according to the requirements of trade, but according to " a certain kind of politiCal knowledge." The Bank is at present • bank of issue, and at the same time a bank for general banking operations. We cannot conceive for a moment that any one would propose to allow the minister-banker to conduct the Latter dep artment It must be intended to carry out the division between the issue and banking depart ments already to a certain extent introduced, and make the Bank of England a bank of tune alone. But the experience of every nation in Europe which has, or has had, a state bank of issue, warns even against this latter arrangement. Every one of them has bees subjected byMe necessary and inevitable operation of each an establishment, to depreciation and ruinous fluctuations la the value of their currency. The ne cessities of commerce are the only safe guide for the emissions of a paper currency: men, even though possessed of considerable mercantile knowledge, who are placed oat of the circle of active trade, and guided by politico-economical theories, grope in the dark. And in addition to this source of error comes the in vincible predisposition of the member of a ministry to make matters as easy u possible to his colleagues. That the Bank exercises a great influence over the flux and reflux of national commercial prosperity is Mt and acknowledged on all hands. That this influ ence has not been always wisely and beneficially exercised, we would be the last to question. But the remedy for this evil is not to be sought in • re construction of the managing body that would make the Bank a mere political engine. Wa omitted last week to direct the attention of our readers to the fate of one of our meet zealous unitary reformers, who has fallen a martyr to his benevoient and self-devoted labours. Dr. JORDAN ROCHE LYNCH is a name which must be familiar to all who have watched the progress of the sanitary movement. He was the support and spring of that cause in a locality where, at first, he stood almost alone, and where be always had to struggle against an unusual weight of wealth, selfishness, and stu pidity. We allude to the City of London, in whose most unwholesome districts Dr. LYNCH found an ample field for hie gratuitous professional labours, and in whose common council he fought with a zeal, eloquence, and energy seldom exhibited in the cause of the poor, the suffering, and the helpless. Dr. LYNCH was a young practitioner, and his death leaves his widow and family destitute. The following extracts from the speeches delivered at the meeting of Tuesday for promoting a subscription for those he has left behind him, will best show the foundation on which Dr. LYNCH'S claims are based. Mr. EDWIN CHADWICK, the chairman, this de. scribed the career of Dr. LYNCH in connexion edik sanitary reform : At the commencement of the inquiry into the ratan condition of the labouring population, queries Wire Mlle Mt to the medical officers of the several =WWI.

Being a zealous catholic as well as an Urquhartite, Mr. Aivirrev has' adopted legitimist views in French and Spanish politics, and above all things is anxious to secure the supremacy of the holy see. We believe his leader rather refers the Sultan to the Pope, but in religious questions Mr. ANBTET no doubt acts independently. Nevertheless Mr. ANSTRY also may find means to make himself useful in parliament. He was, we be lieve, the author of Mr. WATSON'S Catholic Relief Bill, and he will be a more active and efficient advo cate of the rights of his co-religioniats than the impo tent and ignorant representatives whom the Irish repealers generally select Mr. MOTET is, like Mr. O'Coxsem., the professed advocate of those Roman catholics whose views are moat in accordance with those of the priesthood. It is always desirable that every interest which has real power in the state should have the opportunity of being heard in parliament The protestant fanatics have many organs, and it is as well that those whom they dread so much should tell their own story in defence. Whe ther Mr. MUST will do so efficiently remains to be seen. We have no reason to suppose that he will not discharge his functions honestly. In the mean time, his views and those of Mr. URQUHART seemed suffi ciently singular and exceptional to justify us in making them known to our readers, as far as we are ourselves acquainted with them. THE time of the year is now approaching at which most of the engagements for the occupation of farming land are made, and we therefore propose to redeem ' the promise some time since made—of which nume rous correspondents have reminded us—to give the outlines of the stipulations of which a farming lease should consist. And here let us say, that our object is to hold an equal band between landlord and tenant. We have often bad occasion to comment with some severity upon the mode in which owners of land deal with their tenants, who, from one cause or another, are seldom able to m akei their own half of the lbargain ; but where the owner of land desires to ' turn his property to the beet account, to draw from it the best and most secure income, and to render it the scarce of employment and happiness to the labouring times, he will find that the rational and liberal way of letting we have ever advocated is as ad vantageous to the landlord as to the tenant. There are many landowners who avowedly im pose restrictions to keep their tenants in a con dition of dependence ; they wish to see their estates occupied by men of moderate capital, mode rate skill, and no independence of character ; in their minds the " smock-frock farmer" who works with his hands rather than his head is the beau ideal of a tenant. Such landlords we do not profess to address; they must be left to the teaching of the next few years' experience, after which they will probably be more accessible to reason than at present. But, assuming a landowner to deal with his estate as property, and to take business-like care to obtain as tenants men of competent skill, and of capital suffi cient in proportion to the extent of land occupied, he will find it beneficial to impose as few restrictions as possible on his tenants. It is a mistake to suppose that a tenant can with profit to himself injure the land; and, in fact, nearly all the injury done to land is that which is occasioned by . neglect, and want of spirited cultivation, almost the invariable accompani ments of stringent and restrictive stipulations. Now the most simple form of lease which has come under our notice, as generally applicable, is one drawn up by a committee of the Vale of Evesham Agricultural Association, and it was framed after obtaining, by means of a circular, much and varied information from agriculturists in all parts of England. The first pert consists of a demise by the landlord to the tenant in the ordinary way, reserving to the landlord minerals and timber, with liberty to eater to work and take away the produce of mines and quarries, and to fell and remove timber at sew eonable times. The rent is reserved half= and is fixed at the value of a number of bushels of wheat, taken reseed ing to the average price of wheat far seven years ending on the lit of January of each year, - made up and published for the purposes of the Utile' Commutation Act. This plan of a corn-rent is very popular amongst farmers, mainly because during the existence of the corn laws, which professed to secure certain prices artificially high, a corn rent pro the farmer in some measure against the consequences of actual prices falling below the act of parliament prices. This, taking the period from 1815 to 1846, happened about seven years of each ten. But now that the trade in corn is about to become free, and prices will vary only in consequence of variations of supply and demand, and will be chiefly influenced by the pro ductiveness or deficiency of each year, it deserves the consideration of both landlords and tenants whether there is any real advantage in adopting a varying oorn rent, rather than a fixed money rent. And indeed, in Scotland, where core rents have most prevailed, it hes been the custom to fix a maximum price of corn above which the rent shall not ascend, and a minimum below which it is not to fall. Our own belief is, that a fixed money rent will henceforth be a better and more certain measure of the value of the land from year to year than a corn rent. This is , however, a matter for the parties to a lease to 00011: der ; but whether the rent lee a corn or a money easy the term ought not to be lees than twenty yeses. No farmer can farm properly with a shorter term. To return to the Evesham association form. The tenant covenants to pay all taxes chargeable era the farm, except the landlord's taxes ; sad to repair the house, buildings, fences, draiss and so forth, the landlord furnishing upon tho farm, or within a stated distance thereof, " all rough timber, brick, lime, tiles, and other materials whatso- ever, for each repairs." The next clause states that the farm-house and buildings having been valued, at the tenant's entry, at a specified sum, the particulars of which are set forth in a schedule, the tenant agrees to deliver, up the same buildin gs at the end of his tern' s in good repair • and in case the same may bave become lessene d in value by reseal of the tenant's neglect to repair, the differeaoe in ease to be paid by the tenant to the landlord, tho that awl amosst to be determined by arbitration. Szoopdoos are maim is case of injury by tempest, and far the natural dew and wear and tear of the premises during the lease. The tenant is not to assign the Ism or underlet the lends without the landlord's comsat. This is a stipula tion which ought to be modified, for it may ellen be most important to the taunt to dispose et his lease, and the landlord may eapritio' oily TAN his anent to a transfer. We have boom aamy such cases wherein great injustice W bon peapstrated towards a tenant who has invaded asuidelable capital in the farm. The tenant might, pita" be reason ably restrained from underletting or dividing the farm, but he ought to be at liberty to assign, after offering to the landlord proof that the proposed assignee is a responsible person, provided the landlord refuses his consent. The form then binds the tenant to protect fences and trees from injury by cattle or otherwise. The landlord is to prescribe the crops 'which the tenant is to grow on every portion of the land during the last four years of the term, and if the tenant shall object to the prescribed course of cropping the matter to be settled by arbitration. The obje:ct of this stipulation is to prevent the exhaustion of the land at the end of the lease ; but a far better plan would be that the land lord should agree to pay the tenant for all =ex hausted acts and improvements at the end of the term by valuation. In fact, in the absence of a general law upon 2:8 'abject, 6, - Xll lease eiould con- , fain a special provision for tenant rights. Next comes a very important claim ' which provides that the landlord or his agent shall be at liberty to go upon the premises for the purpose of inapecting the state of repair, and of ascertaining the state of the management sad cultivation of the land; " and in case the annual renting value of the lands shall have Buffered decrease by reason of the tenant's failing to repair or to cultivate the land according to -the rules of good husbandry," the landlord may compel the tenant, by a six months' notice, to quit the farm, and to pay the damage caused by his breach of covenant, according to the assessment of arbitrators. On receiving such notice to quit, the tenant may require the question to be referred to arbitrators ; " and if they shall decide that the lands have not been materially deteriorated by the tenant's management, the notice to quit shall be void." This clause appears to provide very effec- loally 'Oust any dibrioration of the land by the tenant, Auld with soh It cisme the restristion on as signment of the le on aid& Ile well di weed with. On the taunt bessmiag et hinelvent, the landlord is to be at liberly to reforms the land, paying to the tones estate " resemble oompensa tion for seek hapeassaents effected by the tenant as have hicawasi the dal renting value of the land," the anent lointadjutred by • The Imaiked eowasants for the tenant's quiet enjoyment of the boa during the loess; also, that he wffi insure the buildings against fire; and that he will, at his own cost, drain " every part of the land which requires drainage," the tenant covenanting to an additional rest, equal to 5 b per cent. upon the outlay. There is then a general covenant by the tenant for " good and husband-like" management of the land, and not to break up specific pastures with out the landlord's consent. The lease ends with a mutual covenant for the appointment of arbitrators, in the usual way, and with all necessary powers to bind both parties by their award, to whom all dis putes are is be referred. Such is the concise and practical form of lease framed by a body of intelligent farmers and land owners, after much consideration, and with an anxious desire to do justice to both parties to the contract At present our limits do not permit us to say more than that, subject to the criticisms we have offered, it attains the object sought, and that it deserves the attentive consideration of landowners. WE do not profess to give legal opinions to corre spondents. It really would not pay to do so. If, for example, we made a practice of answering all the questions laid before us on the New County Courts Act only, we must " keep a barrister , " as WARREN used " to keep a poet." While, however, we decline the office of general exegetes of this act, there is one point about which so mach doubt has been expressed by c jorre spondenta, and which so materially affects the uris diction of the new courts, that we cannot fairly decline to throw such light upon it as a well-weighed opinion may have. This point is, how far there is a concurrent jurisdiction of the county and the superior courts, and especially the law of costs in cases which may be brought before either class of tribunals. The 128th section of the act enacts that "all actions which before the passing of the act might have been brought in any of the superior courts, where the plain tiff dwells more than twenty miles from the defendant, ' or where the cause of action did not arise wholly, cc in some material point, within the jurisdiction of the court, within which the defendant dwells or carries on his business, at the time of the action brought, or where any officer of the county . court shall be a party (except in respect of any claims for goods taken in execution of the process of the court, or their proceeds) may be brought in any of the superior courts, at the election of the party proc e eding." This seems clear enough. But a difficulty arises in combining this clause with the 129th, which enacts" That if any . action shall be commenced after the passing of this act, in any of the superior courts of record, for any cause other than thaw lastly kreinbefore spec d, for which a plaint might have been entered in any court holden ander this act, and verdict shall be found for the plain tiff for a sum less than 201., if the said action is founded on contract, or less than 51. if it be founded on tort, the said plaintiff shall hare judgment to recover such sum only and NO costa; and if a verdict shall not be found for the plaintiff, the defendant shall be entitled to his costs as between attorney and client, unless in either case the jtulge who shall try the case shall certify on the back of the record that the action wasp to be brought in such a superior court." Great doubts exist, it appears, as to whether the 129th section puts any limitation on the 128th, in reference to coots ; and if any, what they are. Some of our correspondents insist that if a plaintiff, residing more than 20 miles from his debtor, elect to sue in a superior court, the judge has no discretion as to certi fying or not. Others contend that he has such a dis cretion, but doubt how far it extends. On considering the matter, it appears, that by the necessary construction of the 129th section, no limit ation whatever is put by it on the 128th, but, on the contrary, that suits brought in the superior courts -Ist, by a plaintiff residing more than 20 miles from his debtor; 2nd, where the cause of action did not arias wholly or in some material point within the juris diction of the court belonging to the defendant's place of abode or business; and 3rdly, when a county court officer is a party in his private capacity—are excluded from the whole operation of the act, if the plaintiff so elect by section 128, and particularly from the operation of section 129, by the exception in the beginning of that section. This seems plain, also, from the " purview " of the act, which was to give a cheap and expeditious mode of settling mad local differences, but not to preclude any one from taking the opinion of the superior court as to his claim. But to deter the plaintiff from putting the defendant to needless expense by suing him before a superior court, when there is nothing to render the local jurisdiction inapplicable, this right to sue in the superior courts is saddled with a liability to pay costs, if it appear to the judge that the county court was the proper place for the action. When the county court is an improper tribunal, it would be unfair to saddle the plaintiff with the costa when he gets a verdict, and the act in two places expressly absolves him from this penalty. It first lays down (in the 128th section) three cases in which the plaintiff is released from the operation of the act, without any discretion as to costs on the part of the judge of the superior wart And these reasons are most fair. A trades man at Southampton orders goods, by letter, of a manufacturer at Manchester. The goods are selected by the manufacturer's clerks, packed by his packers, conveyed to the station and booked by his waggoner, and the letter of advice posted from his counting-house. If the money is not paid, though under 201., it would be the height of injustice to compel the manufacturer to send all these people to the county court at Southampton to prove their several acts; and it would also be unfair to summon the defendant and his men to Manchester to prove that the goods never reached Southampton. In such cases the plaintiff may sue the defendant at Southampton, but cannot be forced to do so. If he de not choose so to sue, the parties are left to their old remedies under the existing judicature, and ex pressly. excluded from the whole operation of the act, as parties dwelling more than 20 miles apart. Nearly the same observations apply to the second e when, though plaintiff and defendant might Tit ir !! in Southampton, everything from which the demand arose, and which, therefore, would have to be proved, had passed at Manchester. It is obvious that difficult questions may arise as to what may be " a material" portion of a cause of action, so as to bring it under the 128th section. The third exception (as to actions to which an officer of the court is a p ar ty) rests on deratlons the soundness of which is apparent. These three exceptions were clearly considered by the legislature as plainly definable in themselves, and as at once entitling the plaintiff, if he so elect, to try his cause in the superior court. But, in addition to these, there are numerous questions, of great 1 intricacy, arising often in cases when the sum in tlls pate is trifling, in say of which, perhaps, there may be conflicting decisions of the superior courts, or different opinions of learned judges. In such eases it would be indecent to make the inferior judge an arbiter between his superiors. Accordingly, the legislature leaves to every suitor the right of apply ing to the superior courts in all cases , but subjects him to a penalty for the defendant's benefit, unless it appears that his application to the superior court was prompted by a higher motive than a desire to put his antagoniet to expense. S Lich being the well known inten tion of the act, we cannot find in the words of it, careless as they are, anything necessarily . inconsistent with these intentions. The expression in the 129th section, " for an mete other than those lastli before specified," is loose, if not unintelligible. The exceptions in the 128th section are not causes for which actions can be brought. A plaintiff dwelling more than 20 miles from a defendant can hardly, we should imagine, be " a cause of action." The mean ing of the exception in the 129th ambits is no doubt " other than those actions or pidings specified in the 128th section." This interpretation at once clears up the difficulty, caused by the obscure and vague phraseology of the 129th section. In cer tain cases specified in the 128th section, actions for 201. or less may be brought in the sup erior court. In these actions the judge has no discretion as to casts under the act. In all but these cases he has • new discretion vested in him by the act, and to be exer cised, no doubt, on considerations which, before the parsing of the act, would not have entered into the question of certifying for costs. The Liompool nom, on the authority of an Extra of the Colombo Times, mentions that a report of a rising at Canton against the foreign residents had reached Ceylon. The news is said to have been com municated to some person on board the Haddington steamer, at Calcutta, by the captain of a vessel des , patched thither for troops to reinforce the garrison of Hong Kong. We neither believe the report nor the story about the channel through which it is said to have been received. It has obvi ously originated in the confident expectation throughout British India that such an event will take place. At the same time we remain convinced that there will be a renewal of hostilities between this country and China before oar mutual relations are placed on a satisfactory sad permanent footing. The feeble and vacillating policy of those upon whom the assertion of British interests in China has devolved — their alternation of unwise submission and rash ag gression falteringly supported—has rendered this inevitable. GERMANY.—AUSTRIA.—A correspondent of the Journal de Frorsefort, who dates from Vienna, the 16th inst., states that several Hungarian districts (comilats) have resolved to stop emigration, by transferring the poor inha bitants of sterile parts of the country to those which are more fertile.

PlBll.--CHAROM A 0113137 A POLICEMAN.—By Mr. W. Baker, resumed at the Royal Meson, Poplar, on the body of Simmons, as was reported in our paper of Friday. The deceased wee drowned in an attempt to get on board de Vesper Gravesend steamer at Blackwell Pier on Monde,. the 16th inst., and which it was alleged was owing to di improper conduct of police-constable - Feltham, belonging to the company stationed on the pier, in laying bold of the tiff of the coat of the deceased at the time be was going se board. The demand had been turned off the boat by the direction of the captain, owing to his being intoxicated am insulting the passengers, and the boat being about to leave the pier on her voyage to Gravesend, the deceased ran to fie stern of the vessel to jump on board, when the strident se caned. The only additional evidence that was addueed was that of J. Gersten, who deposed to witnessing the whole transaction, and he did not attach any real blame to the policeman, who appeared to him to be speaking quietly to the deceased, and endeavouring to nt him away, after he was turned off the boat. Ge. ceased jumped towards the boat, his hands resting on the rails, his legs and body hanging down by the side of the vessel. The policeman laid hold of his coat to save him, bat let go, and the deceased fell into the water and was drowned. The deceased did not appear to have a firm hold of the rail, part of his body being over it.—By the Coroner : The de. oesaed's hands appeared to yield by the pulling of his coat by the policeman. The policeman seemed to lay hold of the deceased to prevent his getting on board; but no effort on his part to save him could have been available, as the boat was near six feet from the dummy. The deceased might possibly have been saved if the policeman had not land hold of him—The coroner wee of opinion that the cue was attributable entirely to accident in the pollee-constable en. deavouring to save the life of the deceased. Several of the jury, however, exprewed themselves wholly dissatisfied with the contradictory nature of the evidence and the necessity for further inquiry ; and, after a lengthened discussion, the in quiry was ultimately adjourned to Monday next.
