ADA— .4111in66a. IL 65.. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2. Arriurrion is now being called in many quarters to the practice of giving fees to railway servants. There are good reasons why we hear more of this subject than at any former time. The practice has attained a growth previously unknown, and the holiday season which has just closed has brought it home to the experience of a larger number of travellers than in any former year. There are two very different classes of fees paid to railway porters and attendants. Travellers give money for ordinary services, such as the railway company professes to supply, and which they have a right to expect—the removing, loading, and unloading of luggage, calling cabs, and so on—and they also give it as • bribe to be allowed to evade or break the rules of the company, as by smoking in oerriages, carrying excess of luggage without payment, and the like. Of course it is only against the former class of fees that we can appeal to the railway companies in the name of the public ; although in the interest of the com panies themselves we might urge that in the end one class is is injurious to them as the other. Now, without overlooking the exceptions to be met with, we have to do with the fact that it is becoming next to impossible to travel on any of our lines of railway without making extra payment% and that in the most objec tionable way, for services which according to the theory and profession of the railway companies have already been paid for in the fare. We , hope oar railway managers will not be disposed to class the complaints on this score now beard on all hands, with the imaginary griev ances commonly sent to the papers in the dull season. That would be to commit • serious mir take. The practice in question is changing the character of railway travelling in particulars affecting the prosperity of companies, because im pairing the convenience of the public. Moat of us can remember the sensation of relief which was felt when the opening of railways deli vered travellers from the mercenary attentions and extortionate importunities of coachmen, guards, and porters, and substituted a well•ordered service of active, cheerful attendanta, in structed to regard every passenger as entitled to their attention. It was not the value of the money disbursed upon obsequious hangars on which made the old coach system so dis agreeable and the change so piedmont. It was that the necessity of buying every little serving necessary to travelling made everybody unwilling to move without separate payment, while the =- ascertained pries of those services oonstantly ex posed the traveller to reflection. Now the serious fact is that we are fast falling back again into this wretched system. It is trait that we see at our railway stations announcements framed in the most stringent terms, forbidding porters to take, and entreating passengers not to offer fees. But it is equally true that there are important lines where fees to servants are the traveller's only means of securing decent civility end attention. The arriving paaessger is an object of interested speculation to the attendants on the platform. If he is a stranger he will be estimated by his appearance, and as there is everything to hope from the unknown, it is probable he will be waited on with fussy servility. If known, and not important enough to be feared, he will be treated according to his custom of giving or refraining from giving fees. There are exceptions to this state of things ; there are lines where serious attempts are made to enforce equal attention to all, and there may be railway servants so upright and conscientious as to refuse fees. Bat the com mon experience of railway travelling is neverthe less as we have stated it. Who gains by this practice t Who loses by it ? And how is it to be suppressed t The railway servants at first sight seem to pin by is It is this appearance which helps you to believe that when you have feed a porter to give you an advantage at the expense of your fellow-traveller, you have performed an act of generosity. And in individual oases and for a short time railway servants may profit by the practice of giving fees ; but in the end it must injure them more than anybody else. No kind of labour long maintains itself above the average of the market, and a knowledge that fees make a portion of a railway servant's income renders men willing to take the situations at wages propor tionally lower. Such is the inevitable ten dency of the practice, and the public would learn with surprise the extent to which this form of industry has been depreciated on some of our chief lines. By insisting on proper service in return for reasonable' fares, the public would compel the engagement of efficient men at proper wages, and thus promote the interest of railway attendants far more than they do at present. The general body of travellers can, of course, gain nothing by the fee system. Whatever precedence one passenger gets by bribery another loses. The only class which reaps advantage from it is that class to which so many of our social arrangements are adapting themselves--the vulgar rich. It is easy to see who loses by the fee sys tem. Except the class just mentioned every. body who has to do with railways loses by it. Travellers must neoemarily do so when a tacit understanding is permitted to grow up that the platform service requires to to quick ened and stimulated by incessant rewards, and that prompt and willing attention is • thing not provided, but to be procured by special payment. We have also seen that the servants, as • class, must lose by it. But the greatest losers of all will be the railway shareholders. Railways have deve loped an unsuspected travelling capacity in our public. In proportion as facilities have been multiplied passengers have increased in • most surprising manner. And still the interests of the companies require that the process should go on, and the public travel more and more. It could not be said that anybody wanting to make a journey deliberately resolved to stay at home to save a half-crown in giving fees. But before we suppose that the practice does not tell on rail way receipts we must look deeper. There are certain classes—merchants and their agents, public officers, and others—who must travel, be the conditions what they may. But the num ber of these, though large, is limited, and the falling off in railway receipts would be very considerable if in one week travelling were suddenly limited to the strictly necessary journeys of busi nese and professional men. For every traveller whale journey is absolutely prescribed by circum stances, there is probably another who might have stayed at home but for a certain mingling of pleasure with the thought of locomotion. The remembrance of a distant friend, the need of recreation or diversion, curiosity, a love of change, are always prompting thousands of persons, espe cially ladies, to meditate journeys. In the mental process which precedes the final resolve every disagreeable incident of travelling is ree -1 sent, and tells, however imperceptibly, in de ' terr➢ng from an expedition. Now it is not for the interests of the railway companies to try how much of that which is disagreeable the public will stand, or at what point it will begin to refuse their ser vision. It is rather for them to make travelling as attractive as possible, mid the unrest way not to do that is to countenance the system which is at present undermining a service essential to the 'comfort and convenience of the public. Ia most of the discussions that have taken place it has been assumed that the remedy for this state of things lies with the public, and accordingly to the public appeals have been in the first place addressed. We have no expectation whatever of amendment from this source. The mischief has not been caused by the general public, which is, indeed, the chief sufferer and the chief com plainant. Wealth, especially vulgar upstart wealth, will always attempt to assert its power, and find pleasure in doing so. The evil must be cured, if at all, by the railway companies themselves. Not, however, by repression and penalty, a system which appears to have been tried and failed. It is in the power of the companies to organize their staff of platform servants with a view to the equal accommodation of all War passengers, and to administer it so as effectually to attain that end. We know that it is so because in former years we have seen it done. More vigilance and the exercise of a stricter authority might, perhaps, be requisite to restore than was needed to establish the former system of equal attention to passengers, bat it is a work that must be carried out. And, when it was done, the practice of giving fees would die out, because the motive which had sustained it would have seamed to exist. WILLS AND BIQUISTS.

On the morning of the 19th the Confe derates attacked General Roseanne near Chick amanga Creek. A fierce musketry engagement en sued, the woody nature of the ground preventing the use of artillery. Early in the engagement the Confederates captured five guns of the celebrated Loomas battery. Fierce fighting continued till 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the Federal centre was pushed, broken, and retreated in disorder, pursued by the Confederates, who were, how ever, afterwards checked and driven back. The Confederates then drove General Davis's divi sion back with heavy loss, capturing every gun of the Bth Indiana Regiment, Davis, however, suc ceeding in rallying hie forces, and retook his guns. General Reynolds's division suffered severely, but maintained its position. Palmer's division lost two guns. Van Cleve's division lost ground, and did not regain its position. A general fight continued until long after dark. At its termination, both armies are said to have omit ied the same ground as at the commencement. The Feiterals captured ten guns and lost seven.

The following are the details'of the battle fought on the 20th inst. between Rosecrans and Bragg. The engagement commenced late on the morning of 'the 20th ; soon afterward a General Thomas, holding the Fedefal left, called for reinforcements, and at noon was compelled to retreat. The second line of rein forcements, with hillook's corps, which was on the right, and intended as a reserve, was sent to reinforce Thomas. Van Cleve, holding the front centre, and Crittenden's corps were also ordered to the left, their places being filled by Davis and Sherridan, who had hardly formed in line before the Confederate line burst upon the Federal centre ; this lasted twenty minutes, when Van Cleve, on Thomas's right, gave way. Sher ridan and Davis's corps broke in disorder, borne down by Bishop Polk's amps. Negley'a and Van Cleve's divisions rallied, and held their places, on the right and left of Thomas's corps. Davis and Sherridan late in the day rallied 8,000 men, and joined Thomas, who, being cut off from the right, took up an independent position, where he was reinforced by two divisions, and maintained a stubborn fight till after dark, retiring at night to Rossville, where be received orders to join Rosecrans, who was concentrating at Chatta nooga. It is reported that the Confederates engaged Thomas again on the 21st, and it was doubtful if he could reach Chattanooga that night. There were indications on the night of the 21st that the Confederates contemplated a demonstration on another part of Rosecrans' line. Bragg's army is variously estimated at from 70,000 to 96,000 strong. The Federal loam in killed, wounded, and prisoners is estimated at 12,000 men. 1,300 Confederate prisoners have been sent to Nashville. Intercepted Southern despatches state that Gene ral Bragg engaged General Bosecrans on the 19th and 20th, capturing 20 guns and 500 prisoners. . . _ General Burnside is moving to reinforce Rose crane. 300 of Burnside's troops were surrounded on the 9th, near Knoxville.

A communication from Rome of the 26th ult. gives the following details of ► recent affair ►t Ceprano, which has led to much conversation : A mager serious conflict has just occurred between the commandr•ia.ehief of the Preach army of occupation and the pontifical rettiGnieter of Wu, in coesennenoe at the conduct of the latter la shielding from ataishment • pon tifical gendarme Barad Semodni, who had fired oa two Italian officers while bathing in the Sarno on their owe territory.

The corentandaat of the partition gendarmery also sent • despatch to them-Mahar of War, and received • prompt answer, ordering him to prevent the transmission of the French aliases denatek, and to de , mend the surrender of the prisoner. The French aces. mandant, receiving no answer, went to the telegraph office to learn the ream, and was told that his means bad act been sent owing to the telegraph being under repair. Ilona. while the' wailed officer demanded the surrender of Santo rini, and showed the order from his minister. Having waited till night without receiving any instructions, the French officer gave up the prisoner, who was at coos sent off to Rome by railway. After his departure, the Preach officer was informed that the telegraph had been repaired, and he accordingly sent off a report of the whole affair to his general, who instantly addressed • demand to the Minister-at-Arms for the surrender of Samorioi within three days. At the expiration of that time the general received a very laconic answer, informing him that the man he wanted no longer formed part of the pontifical gendarmery. In consequence of these facts the Count As Moetribello issued the following general order of the day, dated from head-quarters at $OOlO, oo the 22nd September : "Oa Thursday, Sept 10, on the busks of the Sacco, at 900 metres from a French post, the pontifical gendarme Samaria' fired, without any provocation, twe militia shots, on M. offensive Italian 06301111.

This was his right and his duty, but the offender has been withdrawn. . . . He has therefore a duty of honour to fulfil, which is to publicly stigmatise the act which he has been prevented from punishing, and to die avow all connivanee at the impunity. Such is the object of the present order, which will be read at Rome on the 24th, OM, and 28th of the preeeat month, at the 11 o'clock :oil can el the infantry, at the morning roll-call of the artillery, and three times in the detachments. on •ltreate days after its reception.

The semi-official journals seem to have no other instructions for the moment in regard to the Polish question than to answer the public by insinuating (untruly) that something effectual is going to be done. The Constitutionne/ announced, with great solemnity, two days ago, that it should comment upon Lord Russell's speech at Blairgowrie after due reflection. A large type articlo by K P. Limayrac is now out ; but it is a collection of tame and meaningless words. The only point it makes is one which the Pays is also instructed to insist upon, i.e., the great importance of Lord Russell's declaration that Russia, by her own conduct, has forfeited her treaty title to Poland. But as to any practical and immediate consequences flowing from that declaration neither of theee jour nals affords any light whatever. The France, indeed, pretends to take it for granted that the treaties of 1815 are torn up altogether. Its argument plainly stated would be that inasmuch as Russia, by her own wrong, has forfeited a benefit which she enjoyed under the treaties of 1815, there fore France is released from all her obligations under the same treaties to other powers. That is an illogical proposition, to say the least of it ; and although I dare say the treaties of 1816 may not now be worth a great deal to anybody, I apprehend the France in its construction of Lord Russell's speech is going rather too fast. The Pays says, ae "Latest News," that Baron Gros had a long conference with Lord Russell and the Austrian minister yesterday, and that "the un derstanding between the powers on the subject of the Polish question is complete." If that be so, it is clear that the understanding must be to do nothing, because it is quite certain that Austria will not even recognise the Poles as "belligerents." Two diametrically conflicting statements of two evening journals complete the meagre and unsatis factory budget of the political news of the day. The Patrie, after observing that neither the Con- shtutionnei nor the Pays ventures to draw any con clusion in favour of the Poles from Lord Russell's speech, says they might very safely have done so, For it is certain that the question of the reoopitioe of the Pelee as belligerents was propounded in despatches ox. reamed between the three intervening courts, on the day after the reception of Prince Gortobakotre notes.

He wee taken to the poliosetattoe, and a number of business cards belonging to whatnote dimmed merchants and jewel. len were found upon him. The manner in which the robbery was suspected to have been done, was by wetting the fingers of the left band, then placing them on the diamonds, which, when they adhered, would be passed into the mouth.

List night, Dr. Lankenter bald an inquiry at the Hirepherd Tavern, High-street, Ilarylebone, on the body of a newly-born female child found on Prinireie-hill, under the following circumst•noes : John Phiuntore, a mechanic, proved that he found the body, which wea quite warm and naked, oovered over by some tufts of grass, lying on Primrose-hill, on last Sunday morning. He called a Regent's-perk constable, end it was conveyed by him to the Merylebone workhouse. Mr. Low, surgeon, said that the child wee stillborn, and had never breathed. The Coroner said that the use itself was one of no im portance, but it gave him an opportunity of making some remarks upon the alleged decrease of child murder, sod the supposition that most of the children found in the streets were stillborne deposited there by the undertakers. He conceived that Mr. Humphreys was mistaken in the idea that most of the children found under arch circumstances were 'Whom. He believed that only oae in 20 of the children found in the streets were stillborn ; the rest had manifest signs of having been murdered. They had frac tured skulls, ropes round their necks, and marks of muff ocatioa by preemie) on the face. The discovery of stillborns in Wbiteehapel Church was 'most estraordioary, but he, Pr. Lankester) did not know but it would be les@ injurious to public morality to have them deposited broach place rather than about the streets ; and nod oubt it was tbe undertakers who had placed them there. Bathe believed that generally it was the mother" themselves that dropped the children in the streets, and the fact in the present owe that the child was actually warm when found would lend countenance to that view. A strictregistration of stillborn' was imperatively re quired. Verdict, " Found dead within the precincts of Prituroo hill."
