LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 23. WO are TO' y much disposed to concur with a tie - temporary ma to the grounds on which any a'.tompt at limber enstraliss , ion, as regards the P.m.-law, ought to be steadily n slated by the repres unitive, in purlianseut of a frugal and fieedowlosirg people. There is no practical question, in trut!r, in which consideratioes of national economy sad populist libeny are more plainly inv..l%etl. L oral tam** and heal administration are the very elements eat of which all oar Named constitutional mghts. WM. and capabilities have for generatiolm bees fanued. To these, as to the main rams, are %eseeatia all that afford. healthful vigour and voter eanssomess to puh!ic opinion atuongnt UT; and to maim er matilate tht se coots, however covordy and without sedges disturbance, must to regarded as an set of the deepest and most indelible treason to she well-beim d for state. (tot Poor-law system, like most other penis= ef our institutions,may, truss time to time, require repair. Twenty years ago great abuses had aria, he the mode of 'administering relief. A mistakes kg ink lent philanthropy had gradually led teaspedssetia• discriminate disbursement of alms in the ism se rat door relief to the ordinary labourer. which in 'may had serially effaced all marked distiaetioa t a tweed pauperism and indepeadeat Wintry, and which thivateeed to reduce vest dieteiste Glib. .kieg dem to the same plight et ever-deernbeg demoraliaa tion and decay. Str.ngent and bah* messarer of corrective discipline were felt to be indispassablre; and without the interposition of sonsemsdrekpewer it was confessedly impossible to hope fir tbeir Mkt eve apply ration. It was not without a , however, that the public mind coin( be to &anent to the make of the Poor-law which at first was proposed only ea a temperary contrivance, and not renewed or eventually pined on its present permanent footing without many imitations, doubts, and warnings front the jealous spirit of localism which the serreillanee of SomemeNiesse inspectors, and the veto of Somerset•hoose mitherities bed filled with alarm. Experience bee indeed done mach to abate this feein4 of hostility. Great cor rective good has been undoub:edly accomplished • and the conciliatory temper in which the administration of the department has been of late years conducted has disarmed many of the most suspicious defenders of parochial! independency. it ta a mistake, however, to sup per that became one peculiar and dangerous malady has been cured by doses of Centralie Acid, we are at all disposed to eatcud its use to less urgent cases, or to consent to its being mingled with our oedinary food. The deadline pumas are wisely resorted to on rare occasions, but even then they are employed with infinite reserve : none but a quack would think of prescribing their unwomanly use, and none but fools would submit to be so drenched with them. And a sorer or more deadly political police than centralisation society hit never known. Yet this is one of the ntstruml recklessly recommended by the great quack doctor now in vogue with the country radiomen—tie celebrated mesmeriser to whom they have blindly surrendered themselves. We do not profess to be in the secrets of the Tory camp, but we may venture to foretell that, should the present ministry remain in power, a bill will be introduced during the coming session, proposing that what are termed the Establishment Charges of the Poor-law should be paid out of the Consolidated Fund, thereby exonerating the localities from 'certain portion of the rates which they are now by law obliged to provide for by self-assessment in the olden way. The poor stupid squires will be made to believe, for the time being, that their broad acres being re lieved to the estenit of three halfpence er twopence in the pound, they will, at the cod of the year, be just so many three half-pennies the richer ; and they will cheer and shout at the notion of getting so meek in the way of compensation of the industrious classes of the community, who took from them their regions right to tax the peoples food, _ quite forgetting that if 500,rieel. additional be added to the list of Civil Con tingencies, new taxes in some form must be imposed on the entire community in order to provide for the same. Many of the squires no doubt believe that the Consolidated Fond is a sort of naraculous mil& cow that never goes dry; and that whenever their cupidity happens to be thirsty, it is only to order another il to be tilled for their apt= separate use. The official dairymen declase that no supposition can be more utterly groundless, and that is riot of fact they are frequently in great fear lest the prods:* should not be snit tomb's them to supply the demands of those to whom they are already under comments. To speak plainly ; if any further portion of heal burthens be transferred to the general taxation, new taxes either on property or on industry must be imposed. We seed hardly pause to ask whether the former alternative is likely to be resorted to by the resent advisers of the crown. They have in veighed against the property and income tax that nowexiate for ten long years, and they would abo lish it to-morrow, if they dared. Mr. Heuics actually proposed, in the session before last, to apply the surplus it the Exchequer to its partial liquidation; and the whole Protectionist party voted that it ought to be gradaalli put an end to. What, then, is to be done? Mr. DINUELI is pledged against each and every one of the excise duties, and be be. always maintained that Lord Cleeton BEe- Ttnelo was the best and soundest theory of thanes—that, namely, which would eman cipate domestic industry from ell restrictions, and rely oa import duties wholly for the vast revises we require. The additional half million, therefore, cannot come out of an increased excise. Thetis re ma N but one resource—some novel impost ca reee foreign trade. Which of the many articles freed from tke fiscal yoke by Sir Molina/ PeEL is to be sacrificed once more to propitiate the landlords, time will soma reveal. We pass to other and, if possible, some serious eassidermens.

Much interest had been exerted for him, as, although only a private, his father is a captain in the army, and many petitions were sent to the p utrid, but he returned them all with a simple nota tion " mistaken humanity." There seems to be a feeling here that the general should have waited foe an approval of the sentence by the authorities at home. PROCEEDLNGS OF SIR H. WARD. Since I last wrote there have been numerous and angry discussions in the chamber on the proposed constitutional reforms, and on financial business. On the 30th of August Sir H. Ward sent • message to the Legislative Assembly, specifying the changes which ho had alluded to in address at the open ing of the session. He commences by announcing his assent to a new electoral law, clearly specifying the conditions on which the franchise is obtained, and re modeticitetthe registration commission in order to se cure impartiality. With rega:d to the liberty 01 reek he says that useless restrictions en this liberty are eastrary to all English feeling, sad that the representative system cannot be preen. ealy =mini on willent publicity and full liberty of diewifr Bet be says it was the misfortune of the iamb le pas hen a iron of absolute metric the Is use et milledeei Ism" without the smallest precaution or pomades of any sort. In Greece i trial by jury s applied to all crimes, except those of the weer. In the lonian Islands trial by jury is applied to offences of the press only. In England, France, Germany, Piedmont, and Belgium, guaran tees are required before • jouresl eon be esta blished. In these islands anyone may print what he either dare my or write without becoming respeesible to the law. Cousequently, in 1861, the prop of Bente and Cephalonia pisNobsd • series of sedges purely calculated to excite hatred against the ltgovernment. Such articles would have been paished in England by fine or imprisonment. Yet • Bente jury supported the delinquents, anil Sir Henry . thought himself obliged to protect the peace of society by using his powers of. high police, in which decision he was supported both by Lord Grey and Sir J. Pakington. With regard to this power of high police, Sir Henry states that he is specially instructed not to yield, or in any way compromise, the rights of the crown unless the Assembly consent to the following conditions i—lst. Without sstablishisg any cervr. ship of Pie press prior to publication, he .requires re epensibility, and therefore demands that before any jeered is established 1001. shall be deposited, or lgood security offered for 1501. There being no tax on newspapers in the islands, such a guarantee ap pears small. 2nd. Some chan ge must be made re specting " responsible editors ; " at present some No in the lowest class of society receives • small monthly salary, simply to ammo the risk of any legal peosity the !burned may incur. 3rd. Trial by jury to be sato pended until the above changes became law in eases of libel against the state or public functionaries. 4th. A modification of the penal - code shall be Morbid, authorising the punishment of such libels by penal ties of the 4th or sth degree of the code, or by a fine of 61. to 601. The condition of these changes being accepted by the Assembly, Sir Henry states that her Majesty will yield the powers of high police, hitherto consti tutionally exercised, and that for the future no one shall be subject to banishment by order of the Lord High Commissioner, or held responsible to an/ other authority than those of the tribunals of the country. -A• further states that if this is satisfactorily Henry .1 he is further authorised to announce : 'flanged , I. The assent of her M .jesty to the proposal that the present biennial session of the Asee - mbly be con verted into an annual session, the right of dissolution or prorogation held by the crown remaining un altered. 2. The same assent to a bill modifying the respon sibility and organised= of the Senate. 3. Assent to en alteration in the constitution of the Supreme Council of Justice adding a third lonian member, which would give the casting vote, in case of dispute, to the lonians. 4. Assent to a bill te-organising municipal insti tutions and improving local ktoversinent. Bosse other matters of minor importance follow, sad the sewer terminates by cautioning the Assembly that factious conduct may render any con- Mitutional government impossible. He warns them we to empire against the political system of which they keys a part and have sworn to maintain, and bah them giddy that they alone are the means of of the pewees of high police, so contrary to the el a free constitution. He offers to sub stitute w for despotic power. It is for them to sesept or event the offer on the conditions above stated. I need eat enlarge upon all the angry discussions which followed the meseage. Snake it to say, yesterday Sir Henry dissolved the Assembly, and made a speech in Italian, reproving them pretty sharply for their conduct in rejecting the gracious oats of her Majesty. Hi says: If the representative of the Quinn of England Maim in these islands the power of high police, yam ere rnpoe sible for it, for you have refused to hiss then moderate legal powers, the necessity of which sone of you, in your recent amfeetraes with me, Gould deny. If the country. languish fur 18 months without the popular besnehof the legislature taking any part in its affairs you are restrasiblo for it, for you have refused the annual se nion which I was authorised by her Majesty to propose. lf, in the sours* of the next 18 months, many sets of go vernment are pared, you alone are responsible for it; in you have declined the remedy which I recommended. If the Lewd High Conmaksioner and the President continue to far part of the Sapiens Conned, you an responsible for it; for yes have rejected a change which the protecting 'overtly' less willing to concede, in compliance w.th your su pposed desires. In short, yes have had, and lost, a great opportunity; and,whatever be the pantry which bra Majesty may now think proper to adopt here whatever be the use which I, as her Majesty 's repreeentati.e, may be forced to make of the powers that are left to me ander 1 the present constitution, end which I shall use without fear or scruple, should it be necessary to do so 14 the mg.'s. neon of public tranquillity—you have nobody to blame for it bet yourselves, for you have rejected, by a undo it; of one, en arrangement which would have dnermined the rights of all the constitutional powers, and substituted for the will of the individual the peaceful authority of the law. I cannot disguise from you that, in my judgment, you have made a great mistake—of which you will, in all probability, have ample time to repent. As re gards the press, you have retained a nominal liberty, epos which I have a most effectual check.

We have this week seen a letter from an emigrant from this town which furnishes some very interesting and late intelligence from the Australian gold diggings, and from which a few extracts will, no doubt, be read with in terne by those who are about to seek their fortune in this land of premise. The letter is from Prahraw South Tura, near Melbourne, and is dated in March, 1862. The writer to his brother 'eye: " I wrote to you in September last, informing you of the Sydney gold gelds. I also wrote about Christmas, inform-1 leg you of our gold fields in Port Phillip, which, up to the present, surpasses in richness all others yet discovered, sad promise well for a continuance of the same, as oar gold fields or diggings are spreading far and wide with the greatest success. In my last I stated that I had been two months at the diggings, during which time I procured front the earth gold to the antswili or value here of seventy pounds, which certainly paid me will; but still I could not be classed anything like a lucky gold digger, as many have made half their fortune is leas time. I have just returned from say second spell of three months: had Mrs. H. and C with me. They have been troubled very much with a disease of the eye called the blight, which we do not think much of in this country. During our first two weeks of the throe mouths I was not very well, and made but little more than what paid for my gold digging license ; and dining the last five weeks I procured about albs weight of gold, or 360 w, which at 31. per oz., the present price here, gives me 108 1 an 1 Mill I am far from being a lucky geld digger. I premised lawless tea, my best towards sending for you out. I theendielisaid you, by a gentleman who will poet the letter fee mom men as he lands, twelve ounces of gold, which I =liwill be sufficient for the passage out of yourself, wife, amily, as it will, in all probability, bring from al es per ounce • • • I send for lomat sad amity, knowing, as I do, that where dill. pen is weal prosperity is certain here ; situated as things are just now, that even your son weld es= sufficient ta heap you all, as lads of 10 and 12 years are getting 30s. per wok sad hoard for minding the tent, boiling the kettle, and baking a few dampen tit the week, beeides what little meld tiny ems pick up, and that, in many instances, is more atea datable their wages. Should you object to come out when dub gsMilesean waits on you, I have requested hint te seed me eat gash with the money, as in all probability the pods which I have ordered would bring me 1001. for my 431., as all the waiting class have turned gold diggers. All articles connected with labour are very high, as you will see by the prices here ed. Men's strong boots, 11. • women's cloth blots, 12e. ; slop-made Wellington boots; 11. 145.; bread, per lb., 3111. ; cheese, 24. 64. ; butter, 25.; sugar, 3d. ; bacon, 2s. ; beef and mutton, 3d.; tea, 2e.; efee, Is.; eggs, each, 4d.; milk, per quart, Is.

Blacksmiths at the diggings see earning from 201. to 401. per week ; in fact, there are very few working men to be get at any price. As soon as you receive this, lose no time in making preparation and inquiry, end it is a serious matter to be one minute too late for a chip. You will have a deal of time during your voyage to mend and make, or attend to any little thing the childeila may want, end will pm away many a leisure hour. And, above all things, take this word of advice from me, as I know what charaeten there are. Do Sot play one game of draughts oe board, and keep your affairs entirely to yourselves. Place coal dense in no one. Say nothing about your friends and rela tions either in this eountry or in England, as you will have to see your shipmates another day ; and if any Menses arises, as is frequently the ease, when they know nothing they can say nothing to harm you. Liverpool is the best place for you to sail from, as they are the bent provisiened vessels that come out, end I have seen advertisements from there at 101. each ; and if such is still the ease, you will have sufficient with what I have sent. Several of our passengers made bargains with the ship agents for their families at a mash lower rate than the prices advertised, and thereby saved several pounds. . . . 11.1 i." —Liverpool Mail. THE BALLOON EXCURSION OF MONDAY LAST.-- The amateur aeronaut who made one of the large party who took an excursion in the monster balloon on Monday laid, having surveyed the scene of their aurnerous mishap', 14111111 the following additiinal particulars ..—" Afraid of elesiggerating, I find I really did not do isstice to the dam gem weencou ntered. Instead of 10 or 12 COSCUlllione' s I Ind we struck either the ground, trees, or rails no loon= 21 times, and with Increased violence each time, as is testi fied by the deeper indentations we made in the ground the farther we proceeded. We passed, it appears at an eleva ting of 40 or 60 feet, very near East Ham Church tower. Iliad we struck it, tearing along at that awful rate, many mud have been killed. All the villagers at East Ham who ems our fly ht and descents thought that none of co could wraps with our lives, for Sul de•cribe the force with which the car struck each succeeding object as something terrific to behold. I was well repaid for my journey to East Ham by one piece of intelligence I gathered from the villagers. It appears that either the second or third person who jumped from the car (thereby so much enhancing our dan ger) was thrown on the ground by the violence of the Call, , sad, while rising, was caught by one of the grappling irons , rested the body, and droned at that furious rate some 100 1 yards or more after the balloon. The villagers say he was much hurt, but as It appears he afterwards walked to the railway station, I think th e punishment he received was but a just one for the act be had committed."

The Queen feels assured that the army will participate in the deep grief with which her Majesty has received the intelligence of the irreparable lose sustain, d by herself and by the country, in the sudden death of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington. In him tier Majesty has to de pima a firm supporter of her throne, a faithful, wise, and devoted councillor, and a valued and hononmd friend. In him the army will lament the loss of a oont mander-in-chief unequalled for the brilliancy, the magnitude, and the success of his military achieve ments ; but hardly less distinguished for the indefatigable and earnest ze with which, in time of peace, he laboured to maintain the efficiency and promote the interes's of that army which he had often led to victory. The discipline which he elected from others, as the main foundation of the military character, he sternly imposed upon himself, and the Queen desires to impress upon the army that the greatest commander whom England ever saw has left so example for the imitation of every soldier, in taking as his guiding principle in every relation of lire en energetic and unhesitating obedience ha the call of duty. It is her Ma jesty's command that this general order shall be inserted fa the order books, and read at the head of curry regiment her Majesty's Senile. 2. The Queen does not require that the officers of the army should wear any other mourning with their uniform', on the present melancholy occasion, than black crape over the ornamental part of the cep or hat, the sword knot, and on the left ann, with the following exeeptions, vie. : Officers on duty are to wear black glove., black crape over the ornamental part of the cap or hat, the sword-knot, and on the left arm, the sash covered with black crape, and a black crape scarf over the right shoulder. The drums of regiments are to be covered with black, and black crape is to be him from the pike of the colour-staff of infantry, and from the standard-staff sod trumpets of cavalry. 3. The Queen has been most graciously pleased, under the piesent sffiicting circumstances, to direM that Lieut.- General Viscount Hardinge, G.C.11., shall he placed on the staff of her Majesty's army, and that all matters respecting her Majesty's military service, which have heretofore been transacted by his Grace the late Commander-in-Chief, shall henceforth he performed by Lieut.-General Viscount liar dingo, O.C.U.—Ily her Majesty's commend, G. IlitowN, Adjutant-General. THE NEW COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. GENERAL .01IDER.. litlEJ36 OVERDO, SEPT. 23, 1562.

The Queen having, in the general order to the army of yestenlay's date, expressed her Majesty's sentiments on , he irreparable loss sustained by her Majesty, the country. and the army, in the sudden death of Fiela-Manhal the Dolt of Wellington, Viscount Ilardinge presumes only on OA occasion to give uttsranee to his devoted attachmeut to Ole memory of" the greatest commander whom England ever saw," and whose whole life has afforded the brightest es ample by which a British Remy can be guided in the pa formance of its duties.—By command of the Bight Ilea.
