By some misunder stand:m.7, the Salmi and Dutch deputies. with M. von rour:ali 4, did nut arrive at Florence until the cork had been done. _ _ On the 21th inst. the deputies transmitted the Eiorriug eotumnnieltion to the Tuscan minister: 'iv the Duke of Casigliano, Min:ster of Foreign Attain. Monsieur le Nlinistre,—We approach your ex• eel:Lucy to solicit ) our intervention for the purpose of procuring us on audience of his Imperial High ness the Orinad I)uke. We desire an opportunity of pla,ing before his eyes an expression of the svnina tlies which the sufferings of %I. and Mahone Sladiai excite among our fellow .believers. We present ourselves in the rharacter of simple delegates from the Evangelical Christians of vari,ais countries. not concealing from ourselves that we hare no right in this quality to solicit the favour of being received by his Imperial I fighnese, but conceiv ing that it is of consispience that a proceeding of this .hould not he complicated by any political icicreention or pressure whatever. It is for this reason that we do not hare recourse to the intermediary of one of the ministers accredited to the Orsini Ducal court, hoping that our request will be reeeited with the more favour that it is pre ftm d in our own name. hurt-vial IliL:hness will appreciate the feel which prompts us t., this course, and that which Las lititiOtt us hither. respectfully to rciaiminend th. iii:uation of M. and Madame Medial to his ele faiury. ".-crept. Monsieur le Due, the assurance of our high o:y4:aeration. RopEtc, A. DE GAPPARIN,Cavas. F. DE MINONT, CAPT. 'lttorrEit." th:. bole the minister of the Grand Duke sent en •!:c n...! day the following reply : "To the Right lion, the Earl of Roden, Peer of England, at Florence. " Florence, Oct. 25. "My Lord,—l have placed the letter signed by the persons whore names are associated with yours, and which a..s allre,sed to me under date the 24th of thh, prea.nt month, La fore my august Sovereign. " Imperial and Royal Highntss appreciates the form under which this application is made, but he would certailily have repulsed any political pressure whatever: and the honourable diplomatic agents who reside at this court would equally have abstained from exercising it. " The husband and wife Msdiai, Tuscan subjects, have been condemned to six years of reclusion by the regular tribunals for the crime of spreading pro testantism, which. inasmuch as it attacks the tcligion of the state. is punished by our laws. Their punish ment is merely an application of those laws, and tier appeal for a revision of the process has been • Nisi's' by the Court of Cessation. "His Imperial and Royal Highness, while re serving to himself the exercise of his high preroga tive in such a manner and at such a time as he may judge tilting, cannot accept any interposition in an affair which concerns the administration of justice in li;s state, and its operation upon his own subjects. Nly august Sovereign, taking cognisance of the benevolent sentiments which inspire your conduct, but convinced that he ought non to listen to any kind of intervention in this matter, orders me to make known to you, my lord, that he regrets his inability to grant the audience desired by you and the ot/iZT subscribers to the letter addressed to me. "Receive, my lord, for yourself and colleagues, the ataurance of my high esteem. "Le DIX DE CAsiGus-xo." On tke next day the following note was sent to the Tuscan Foreign.office: "To the Due de Casigliano. "blorence, Oct. 26. "Monsieur le klinistre,—We have received the r by which your Excellency does us tho honour to ir.form us that his Imperial Royal Highness has appreciated the form of our application, but that he dois not lee! at liberty to grant us an audience, and that he reserves to himself the right of exercising his high prerogative in the manner and at the moment which may appear to him most fitting. " It now remains for us to elischar ,, o our duty . in the only mode henceforth possible, ty transmitting to your Excellency the expression of the sentiments which we are charged to bring before his Imperial li.gliness, and which are contained in the accompa nying address. " We venture to hope that if his Imperial Highness will inspect it he will tied there uothing out of har m. -ay with the religious character of our mission and with the profound respect which fills our breasts. " Aceept, Monsieur is Duc, the renewed assurances of our high esteem. " Ropes, A. DE GASPARIN, A. DE Borcia, CAVAN, F. DE BLINIONT, CArT. 'fBOTTEE." The following is the address prepared for presen tation to the Grand Duke, referred to in the forego ing letter:— " Mon.eigneur,—Your Imperial and Royal High est. is already aware with what object and in what character we have the honour to present ourselves be:ore you. Not only have we avoided recourse to diplomatic intervention, which would have compro mised the exclusively religious character of our pro ceedings, but we manifest the express desire that this dttnarehr may not serve as a starting point of any future political actiop. "We ore here only as private Christians, repre senting millions of other Christians who desire to know nu other weapons than prayers, no other force than that of their Divine laater. Here is an embassy a novel kind, and ono which manifests, we venture to think, our respect for the sentiments of the prince to whom we are commissioned. "Ouibreth;inl;;;;;;;CT..., Go not in the name of this or that protestant power, but in the name of the Lord Jesus ; go carry to the sovereign of Tuscany the expression of the profound sympathies which we feel 6,r the sibuatiein of the Nladiai. We dare hope that these sympathies, so general, wfll not be disregarded be the Prince.' We would not, Nlonseigneur, commit the impro- Licty of expnesing an opinion on the law which been applied in this case, nor on the manner of its spplicatioa. It belongs not to us to interfere in the legislation or the administration of justice in your states ; we feel that, to justify our conduct, in this matter we need e my say that that which we desire for our fellow-believers, we would not deny to the.e who arc strangers to our faith. "Roman catholicism is free I. the protestant coon trics which we represent. Your Imperial and Royal Highness will readily perceive why we recall this het; her how could we dare address to you &request in taco:Jr of our brethren the Nladiai, if we were not willing to grant the liberty of Roman catholic/ P " We should have been wanting in the profound 'rowel which we owe to your Imperial and Royal Highness, had we hesitated to hold this language. "Ibis respect, which is on our lips, is aW) in oar hearts. The evangelical Christians who have sent hither have all learned, by the study of the 11017 hetflptures, to honour established powers, and their' payers, few your Imperial and Royal Highness will lured to those which rise from all parts of Ear l s : and America, fur our brother and sister Potadiai.

It is now confidently stated that the plot of ground at Kensington (late kitchen and other gardens has been bought with the Surplus Fund of the Great Exhibition, in order that it may be given to the pub lic, if parliament will vote money to raise upon it one large building, or a series of buildings, for: The National Collection of Paintings; The Trades' Collection formed from the late Exhi bition Exhibitions of Art Manufactures, such as that now at Marlborough House, and in which the Schools of Art may have a central home : And: Accommodation for the carrying out of an extending system of Industrial Education on some such plan as that pointed to in the report of the Royal Commissioners. Of course a scheme of such magnitude and import ance must before long be brought under the notice of parliament ; and the government, through the in strumentality of Mr. Disraeli or Mr. Walpole, may be looked to for the performance of that duty. On thisa word of caution may be said. The speeches about the Duke of Wellington's funeral, the die emotion about this new Kensington project; and other such affairs may unless parliament is on the alert—be made to occupy an unnecessarily large portion of the present short session. Sulogium upon the great and lamented Duke and the plans for the promotion of Art-Education, are both admirable and proper in their way—but members must not for get the special duty which this "before Christmas" meeting of the leg is lature has to perform. Funeral cars and the rearing of future thenvenuto Cellinis must not be allowed to blind us to the urgent claims of Free-trade settlement.

Again " Toes deux Scent feu ; le chopcois de Barthelemy tut touchi; if en mil as. sessf, qui Sul touch* awn;" that is literally, "both fired ; the hot of Barthelemy was hit; he post on a were hat, which was also hit."

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1852. TIM POOR LAW BOARD AND TUE NEW ORDERS. Tla Board of Guardians of tho Strand Union having memorialised the Poor Law Board, praying that tl.e new order for the regulation of out door relief might be is. considered, and setting forth at length the objections to this memorial, the Poor Law Board have returned the following reply . " The board have very carefully considered the ob servations and arguments submitted to them by the guar dians, with reference to the order, and they now proceed to state, I. reply, their views. The guardians urge upon the board a reconsideration of the subject from the belief that, if persisted in, it will tend to lower she petition, and prevent respectable persons from taking the °Mee of guardian. It would be • source of much regret to the Poor-law Board if such feelings were prevalent amongst hoards of guardians; and it appears to the board that a sudicient answer is afforded by the fact that there are above five hundred boards of guardians, comprisiog gentlemen of unquestion able respectability, who, giving the Poor-law Board credit for the same sense of duty which actuates themselves, Co.' operate with them in giving effect to the law without the tangelo:wins or dread of any degradation. The guardians state their opinion that Art. 1, which limits the proportion which relief in kind is to bear to relict in money, is an injudicious restriction upon that discretion ' which they have hitherto exercised, and that discrimination which they ought to possess. The board have introduced the provisions of this article, for the purpose of preventing, tie far as may be, the misapplication of the relief given, and they are, as they think, calculated to be beneficial in respect as well of wettest es of the quality of the article supplied. If, however, it shall be satisfactorily established by ripe clew* that the expectations of the board are not fully reslised or that its working is atleonspanied with hardship to the aged or helpless poor, the board will not be indis posed to eensider the expfdiency et &partial modification of this article. The guardians consider that article 2, which requires all out-door relief to be given weekly is harsh and unsejw, and that men y aged. and infirm persons living at • distance will be thereby` put to unnecessary trouble. the board toast remark that weekly relief has been found by the great majority of unions to be of essential import ance, and they are of opinion that it should be adhered to. It will be, howrrer quite competent for the guardians to order relief for as long a period as they deem necessary., though the relief so ordered is to be administered to the paupers weekly. A. to the cases in which the pauper is too infirm to come every week for relief, it is advantageous that the relieving ornerier should himself visit the pauper and give the relief weekly. Art. 6, which prohibits relief being given to any able-bodied male parson while employed for wages, the guardians allege " will operate with great 'severity upon the industrious poor, and tend to iuerease the burden of the rate payers." The board have not failed to take into account the great evils and abuses which arose before the passing of the Poor Law Amendment Act, from a system of partial relief to persons in employment, which operated as making up Insufficient wages to the amount necessary for the support of the labourer and his family. They also bear in mind that with a view to prevent the recurrence of these evils, • provision similar to that now objected to has been almost uniformly introduced by the Poor Law Commissioners, and by this board, into the orders fur the regulation of out-door relief to able-bodied male paupers, which have bean issued, some of which are now in force in districts of a similar character to the Strand Union, and the board are unable to accede to the request for a modification of Article 6. With regard to the objec tions against Article 6, which directs " That every able bodied male person, if relieved out of the workhous:, shall be set to work by the guardians, and be kept employed under their direction and superintsndeace, so long as he continues to receive relief, and which the guardians allege would be impracticable in the Strand Union without obtaining additional officers end pre mises," the board desire to state that this very course has been adopted in the East London Union recently, and in others at a more distant period, with complete 'times'. In the East London Union the number of orders per week given In twentprour weeks was 645, of which 301 were not presented. The hoard desire to inform the guardians that }}he objections upon which they ground their request that "the order may be reconsidered or rescinded, are Limon identical with those urged by guars of other unions against • similar order, which order nevertheless was found upon trial to be practicable and beneficial, and is now the settled rule and practice in upwards of 600 unions. " The board, in conclusion, desire to add that the great demand at present existing for labourers, affords a very favourable opportunity fur asserting sound principles of relief, an opportunity of which they trust that the guardians, sided and supported by this general order, will endeavour to talc* advantage. The board entertain a confident ex pectation that experience will satisfy the guardians that the order Is generally practicable, and beneficial in its tendency ; and while they will not be indisposed to consider any application for • partial modification of Art. 1, if the guardians after a fair trial are deliberately of opinion that such modification is needed, they feel bound to adhere to the main provisions of the order, because they believe them to be both practicable and founded on eorreet principles of poor law administration. (Signed) OK lIITINAY, Se cretary." The above communication was followed by an interview between Mr. Hall, Poor Law Inspector, and several of the guardians of the Strand Union. RAILWAY AMALGAMATION. term the Deity Neigh) Railway Amalgamation Schemes go swimmingly on. Shareholders—at all events that portion who attend railway meetings, or have proxies sent them gratuitously--mem persuaded that it is for their in terest to unite great companies, even though the terms of union are iu supense. They again follow the advice which has often before deluded them— advice under which dividends have dwindled, and competition and rivalry grown fast and furious; they again sanction the management and applaud the managers who have lured them on into scheme after scheme, each more dangerous than its predecessor; they confirm more emphatically than ever a system against which the public is in arum, and so hasten ael iris that appears inevitable. In their anxiety and eagerness to get rid of present ills "they rush to others that they know not of." And they who three short years ago would not tolerate government supervision of their amounts, are now precipitating great and extensive combinations that no government tun long tolerate without powers for very stringent control. The amalgamations now before the public are of very ditterent orders. Ono is the union of lines spreading over 1,0110 miles, which do not compete, hut which are, and always have been, iu the strictest alliance; the other is a combination of lines, two of which hive of late been in desperate hostility. Thu motives for the union are, however, the mine in each case. The North Western and the Midland seek amalgamation to strengthen each other against riials that inconvenience them to the west and the east—against the Great Western, which pushes ou to the Mersey—against the Great Northern, already in the West Biding. The York, Newcastle, and Berwick aims at dept iving the Tees, the Wear, and the Tyne of competition of their traffic, by engulphing the Leeds Northern. In both the object is to abate compe tition ; to deprive the public of competing accommo dation; to neutralise the competing designs of the legislature in passing the statutes which incorporated rival companies ; to gain power over fares and rates of conveyance—in short, to possess a monopoly, more or less. Amalgamations are but the crowning point of that dictum which two years ago boldly proclaimed, at a North Western meeting, "railway competition to be madness", and which on Wednes day exclaimed " free trade did not apply to rail ways." And so it is madness, as it has been lately carried on ; at reckless speed, at unremunemtive farce, at the risk of paasengers lives and limbs, at the cost of shareholders' pockets. That is madness. That is not free trade. But there is a competition reasona ble in its policy, ample in its accommodation, civil and courteous in its management, fair in its speed, which is also profitable in its rates; and that, so fur from being madness, is at once beneficial to share holders and advantageous to the public. Of the competition that is reasonable, the public may see examples in the Brighton and South (;oast, and in the South Western lines from the same station at Portsmouth; in the South Eastern and Brighton lines for the Hastings traffic; and in the' relations of the Eastern Counties and the Great Northern into Northamptonshire. While of that rivalry which is insane and hurtful, there are abundant iustances in the North and Great Western as there was until the other day also in the districts between tho Ouse and the Tyne. Bat it is only the abatement, it may be said, of insane rivalry which these amalgamations have in view. Not so ; the union of the North Western and the Midland, where there is no competition to abate and where co-operation has long been complete, aims at securing greater power and influence over third lines which interfere with their united operations and common policy. Already these two lines have acquired great power over the western route into Scotland ; they now seek similar control over the eastern road ; subject to a new rivalry to Birming ham and Liverpool, they look for compensation by invading iu their turn the western and Welch tent tones of the intruder into their more central districts. What will the public gain by these unions? That is the question fur the government and the legisla ture to consider. If competition in the hands of rational and reasonable men be useful and advan tageocs to the public in every othe r d e p ar tment of human industry and commercial combina tion, why not also in railways and in locomo tive conveyance? If monopoly bo injurious in grain and in food, how can it be beneficial in travelling ? In what consists the advantage of having only one route to Liverpool, to Leeds, or to Edinburgh; or—what practically amounts to the same thing—one company on those routes so power ful and commanding, as to be able to control the operations of all its competitors P If free and unre stricted trade in commodities be the true policy of the nation, freedom of locomotion—that is, the free and unrestricted use of all those routes which Parliament has granted authority to construct, and which are constructed—mast be still more useful ; for they affect the internal trade, travelling, and con vevauce of the kingdom. )iut these fears may be premature. Again we say, not so. For by whom are these amalgamations and unions projected P By the men who have by their leases, their alliances, their contracts, and agree ments—by their arrangements and their breaches of their arrangements--obstructed and interfered with the public convenience and accommodation. By the boards of directors in the penultimate stage of discredit, who thus propound a great scheme of national injury to remedy, if possible, a decade of personal mismanagement and increasing disorder. What faith or confidence in the schemes and propositions of these persons can or ought the public to have P None at all; and they have none. With them the public area flock of sheep to be shorn and fleeced only to be charged highly and to bo indifferently served to be driven into what trains they please, conveyed at what rates of speed suit their own convenience, and discharged at what hour their maladministration permits. It is not on a sense of what best snits such interests as these that amalgamations can be suffered to proceed. They are public questions, and must be decided and settled on public grounds ; and if conceded at all, it must ho under conditions and regulations that will secure the public the full advantage of every line for which Parliament has passed statutes of the realm. And these projected amalgamations, effecting, perhaps, one-fifth of the whole railway communica tion of Great Britain, are, and mast be, the prelude, if carried out, to further unions. It is idle to suppose that, with one great line from Leeds and York to Berwick, the North British can maintain its inde pendence; it, too, most succumb and yield. And while, in amalgamating with the Midland, Mr. Tito. IRS SMITH renews Mr. OLYN'S offer to unite that amalgamation with the Great Western, Mr. ELLIS suggests to Mr. DENISON " a more complete and last ing union of interests between the Great Northern and the United London and North Western and Midland Companies;" junctions that would give to the huge monopoly thus coolly and deliberately contemplated, • capital of nearly ono hundred millions sterling, and power over nearly one-half of the lines of rail ways in the island. Other smaller feeders of this great monster would too quickly fall victims to its insatiabl e maw; an d all the best districts of England would be laid under contribution by a company almost rivalling the state itself in the extent and value of its patronage. The creation of such en incorporation—the placing such power in the hands of a set of men under no responsibility to the public, but bound by the obligations of duty to their constituents to screw the highest possible dividends out of the community—the surrender of half or even a fifth of the railway communications of Great Britain to a great company having such influence—this, we say, cannot be sound policy. It is dangerous to the public; it may become mischievous to the state itself. And now that we know what amalgamation really means, we must be at all events in a position to , impose conditions, even if we cannot arrest om -1 elation. ACCIDENT AT LElTll.—Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Monday forenoon the boiler of the por table steam engine on the emit pier, nerd fir driving piles, burst, scattering the furnsoe-bars and fire to a considerable distance among the workmen and others on the picr and breakwater below.

Whisper., sufficiently distinct to be ine,pable of misconstruction, were that the gre..t Northern l'owers, whilst they acknow ledge the unquestionable right of the French nation to choose its own form of sscrument, and to elect its own ruler, are yet exceedingly unwilling to recognise the numeral 111. as an addition to the name Napoleon. They silage that this title asserts the actual reign of the Due de Ifeichstaelt, which they also, that it is inconsistent with the treaty of 1816. Upon the main question, namely, the recognition of the imperial reign in the person of Prince Louis Napo leon, neither the great deaputimns of the north, nor any one else, entertain a doubt. Russia and Austria, as well as England and Spain, will, it is not disputed, se knowledge the empire on the instant of its proclamation. NsT, more—not the slightest doubt is entertained that their acknowiAgraent will include any title which the will of the nation more immediately concerned may con firm. Still, for the reasons which we have hinted at, the united diplomacy of the northern powers is said to I, wing every possible effort, not only to prevent the Prince Presb dent from ascending the imperial thione by rho style of Napoleon 111., hut also to induce Eng.und to join them in a remonstrance upon this subject. Now, when trifles are put forward with an emphasit, and insisted upon with • warmth, so much over-pro portioned to their intrinsic value, there is always reason to suspect that something mare important is con. cealed from the car, but intended to be, effected by the result. It is clear enough that, first, the title of the Emperor, and the numeral that shall follow it, is in itself a matter of indifference to all the world, except the wearer and the nation which has chosen him by that style. It affects neither the rights nor the interests of tiny other crown or people. As to the treaty of 1815, and to the recognition of titles which are inconsistent with J. 6 pro vi...uns, it is only necessary to mention the instances of Greece, and llelgium, and France under the reign of Louis Philippe. In the two forme r cases the great power., now so uneasy upon the point, were active in establish ing the independence of the two severed states; in tl c third, they acknowledged a power in direct opposition to all the principles averted in the restoration; and in all three they practically negatived the consequent treaty of 1815. The wrest substance is, then, the empire ; the name, or rather the numeral appended to it, can be objected to only with a view to secure come more important end, which does not appear on the face of the objection. The subbtAnce, EV , we have repeatedly shown, the empire itself, is not opposed by the powers of which we speak. On the contrary, they hail its approach with welcome, strengthened in no mean degree by the gratitude which they owe and own to the genius and courage of hint who, in achieving its restoration, bas also re-established order in the place of confusion, and given repose to his country and to the Continent from all the terrors of unbridled anarchy. And yet they take grave exception to a matter which in itself cannot, and does not, directly or otherwise, interfere with the extent of the new or restored empire, and which doer, and can, therefore, 11l no way, effect their right*. What, then, is the meaning of this We are not left to answer this question by conjectare. The northern despot‘snis, especially that of Austria, have the strongest possible aversion to England. The last.- named power detests our reformed church, and no less cor dially dues she hate our constitutional government. In this she s)mpatiiises with the l'riecedeJu.ovi lle and M. Berry's,. —representatives respectively of the Orlesuist and Legiti mate dynasties in France. These personages have spuaen and written as Austria has acted, in conformity with the moat intense hatred of England, h, r institutions, sacred and civil—aud, above all, the " broad margin " of her constitution, which admits of its expansion in progres sive proportions with the expanding wants and caps eitiea of her people. They have lost France—buth legitimists and Orieanists—not, indeed, because they hated England, but because they entertained reactionary and anti•progressive notions, of which that hatred was the sig nificant index. Prince Louis Napecon, on the other band, has proved himself to be neither en idealist nor a theotictan—nor a mimic, nor a slave of the past. Ile has shown, on the ,con. trail', the genius of a practical statesman...he has studied as well the beacons as the examples afforded by history. He has marked the course of dynastic falls as well as of impe rial successes. Ile bu studied and understood the spirit of the age. His sympathies are all with the sympathies of England. Witness his prercnt policy with reference to Sardinia A constitutional state embarrassed on the one hand by the machinations of despe rate foreign refugees, combined with • handful of domestic firebrands ; and, on the other, by the pressure of Austrian and Italian despotism. These labour to impede the ad. vancement of liberty in a country where its growth is natural, and where, under its development, national pr3s peaty aiready begins to flourish. There Louis Napoleon has cordially united the mural weight of his government to that of the government of England. The two combined ! have secured to Sardinia that amount of independence and prosperity which she happily possesses. Everywhere else Louis Napoleon has manifested the same liberal and en lightened policy. It is feared, then, by the powers of the north that Prance and England, bound together by common interests and common sympathies, will form a united power in the west too strong for their dtsigns. Their object is said to be, by ' gaining the assent of England to their remonstrances against the title of the new Emperor, not to defeat that title (for they will be ready and eager to recognise it), but to sow the seeds of coldness and discord between the two nations whose good understanding they so much dread. It is devoutly to be hoped that our government will pave themselves from the embarrasement, and their country from the &grace, of being caught in so transparent • snare. We mined believe that, assuming the accuracy of the facts related by our correspondent—and they are assuredly not to be ili-credited—any Hoglish minister would be defeated by so feeble a device. At all events we have spoken in time. THE " ARISTOCRATIC HIGHWAYMAN." TO THR EDITOR OT T9l DAILY NSW& SIII,-Mr. Joseph Hall, solicitor, of Keserick, has desired as to forward the enclosed letter from him for pub lication in your paper. We are, sir, your obedient servants, TATHAM AND PILOCTELL Lineohis Inn, Nov. 4, 1852. TO THI EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWS. 1111,—in the Doug News last sleek I (observe an article headed "An Aristocratic Highwayman." I have beard the true statement of the facts from Mrs. Williams, the lady who was robbed, on Thursday the 23rd instant, to Damian Park, Cumberland. Her statement does not ex actly correspond with yours, but it is not materially dif ferent. The atteck upon Mrs. Williams was of a more vio lent nature than you make it appear to have been. Awl the robber did not get much money. Ile took all that Mrs. W. had, but it did not amount to 201. I beg leave to be permitted space in your paper f u r a f ew remar k s upon t hi s very gross case. In the first place, it seems to me somewhat strange that the names of the unfortunate lady who was robbed (Mrs. Williams) and other friends whom she had been the Countess of Saliuski, of Mr. Breach, Mr. Breekbank, and Mrs. Hodgson, who were deprived of their money sod property, and of P. 11. Howard and James Stanger, Eager., who were probably intended to be victimised, should be paraded before the public, and yet the names of the " aris tocratic highwayman" and his clerical and wealthy friends should be concealed. One would have thought that the ends of justice would require at all events the robber's 113111 C to be made public. Initial letters are given (W. C.) pro. (casing to be those of the father of the robber. They are not correct, and therefore they are calculated to mislead the public. The police have ascertained the name and re lationship of the robber. His name is James Cursors, and ho is the son of the Hoe. John Hoary Roper Curzon, of Cheltenham, and a grandson of a Lord llcynham. You state that the robber " has broken loose from the military school, and hr not been heard of since he l e ft P enr i t h." Ile ought to have been at Woolwich. Ile has been twice in Keswick since be was in Penrith ; once at the time Mr. Scott, the constable, was there in search of him on the Fri day after the robbery, and once since. But ho was clever enough to evade the officers of police. Now, I would ask, have our laws no power over aristo cratic highwaymen, or are there different codes for rich and poor ? Arc the rich to have license to rob and murder, and yet go unpunished because they are young, or have parents or friends whose pride would suffer by exposure, or who have wealth and influence enough to buy over the injured ones to silence? If this robber had been the eon of a poor person, whom hunger might have driven to steal, would the Rev. Mr. Valpy have left his church and congregation ' on a Sunday afternoon, and ridden to Deere, to endeavour to induce Mrs. Williams to be passive until the youth could be got out of the country ? Or, when he failed, would Mrs. Dixon, of Carlisle, have exerted her more powerful influence for the game cause? No. And yet they did so in this case. The " moths is feelings " in the case of the poor, though perhaps Al tender as those of the rich, I fear would not have been thought of. Are we to believe that because the poor have not interest and influence they must he pun lobed ? That "the law must take its course " in their cases? Does not crime justly and rightly cry for punish. meat ? Is not our land disgraced by deeds like those re corded by you, committed, encouraged, and winkedat by our aristocracy, clergy, and heads of the pt ogle, who should he the leaders, teachers, and examples of all that is just and honourable, instead of the abettors and encouragers of villany ? I subscribe myself, AN ADVOCATE. FOR SQUARE JUSTICE. 29th Oct., 1842. DIVORCE LAW IN At'sTßlA.—Tho Minister of Jut tice in Austria has adopted a series of regulations relative to divorce between protestanta. The principle of !hem is, that divorces shall be pronounced, of full right, by the judicial authorities, when both parties shall consent thereto, but only after they shall have been separately and joint'y exhorted by a clergyman to remain united; thnt when only one of the parties shall wish for a divorce, and when the other shall refuse it, the tribunals shall (trier an investiga ti o and shall decide thereon ; that divorced parties shall be allowed to re-marry; and that, in cases in which the diswlution of a marriage is required for reasoaa of public order, the tribunal may proceed to it without any com plaint being made ; but that in all other cases a demand mat be mado by one of the parties.
