That debt was imposed at the NINa is the day when the cries of IMr f &Termer hailed bits at his passe, and Ito will accept it Tinselly, but accuse:lly, the day when the pow. will be placed can his head. For slues the empire is ids a view to the future, it ought to tarry with it el: the legitimate consequeoces which preserve that fawn from uncertainty and shocks. In delimit of the direct line, and of the adoptive line, the ease et suce.ision iii the collateral line must be provided t o r, On that point we propose to you a clause, by which a i l , prop C should cooler on Louie Napoleon the right of by au orgaoic decree that order of succession in the ▪ gal oiaporte family. ply that means our Senatus Con sultant will remain more perfectly in accord with the solar wi-h, which, in its unlimited confidence, has placed in 'Louis Napoleon's hands the destinies of the country ; it w.II .0.. .wise be more in conformity with the political ei.o:c. • which France has mitered into since the 2nd of Ili,,Leer. The greatest political genius of Italy, is the li;th e.iitury, was accustomed to say that in those rare ad solemn moments in which the question is to found a new state, tie will of a single man was indispensable! That is what the nation comprehended so admirably when it re gain, to Louis Napoleon the task of drawing up the co nstitution which governs us. At present that a capital moil Motion is taking place in one of the very foui,dations el t e a t cunstitioiost, it appears natural and logical to again eech r en Louis Napoleon • portion of the constituent power, in order thst, ou the special point which cone.rns most intimately the interests of the dynasty of which the Lithos deilares him the head, he nifty he on such provisions as are , or to bias best appropriated to the public interest, sod the interest of the monarch. Fur his family, as well as fur the country, Louis Napoleon is the man 01 an excep tional situatieu ; and no fear must be entertained of adding to his pow: r, iu order that, with the assent of all, he may Dal: , it ty the authority of a tangle person. We, therefore, propose to you, after a conference with the organs of the govetaracat which has led to unanimity of opinion, an mimic thee worded " Art. 4. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte regulates, by an organic decree addressed to the Senate, and deposited in it, archives, the order of euceemion to the throne in the Bons parte family, in case he should not leave any direct or adopted heir. It L 4 not necessary for us to say to you that in this system the formula to be submitted to the French people ought to suotain an caper's mittion of that delegation. It will be a.ecseary, according to the Coastitatiull, that the French people be called en to declare whether it desires or not to west Louis Napoleen with the power which we conceive ought to be conk' red on him. After having thus spoken of the succession to the Imperial Croon, the Soltotio Consultuns carries its attention to the coelition of the lousily of the Emperor. It shindig it into two parts:—Fir -t, the Imperial family, properly so • cor.r,onsol of the p. emus woo may by poesibility be • to the throne, and of their descendants of both rims ; and, second, of the other members of the Bonaparte Wady. 'the situation of the Princes and Princesses of the Impe rial family is to he regulated by Scrams Consults, and they Cauntit marry is itheut the Emperor's consent. Art. 6 pro usenet. fur any intraction of this reculation of public in ten,t, the penalty of losing all right to the succession, with the proviso, how, see, that in case of the dissolution of the slitilye by the death of the wife, without issue, the right is at User ri euvert.l. As to the iaber members of the Bonaparte family, who compose the civil family, it is to the Emperor, and not any L e .g e r t o Oenatus Consulta, that it appertains to fix by sta tute. their titles nod situation. It is useless to insist on this iti , :tos tam. as it is explained by the &Create which otists between the civil family and that uniting in knif the double character of civil family and political W e have also to request your special attention to the final paragraph of art. 6, which confers on theileaperor full and authority over all the members of his family. To e , powers are called (or by the gravest considera tion., and bt!oair to the right generally instituted for reign. lag tamilies. Pruners are placed in so elevated • position by p u blic right and national interest that they are. in many re sps es. out of the pale of the (*um' law. The greater their pr l e i le.: 4 are the more their duties are immense towards the emit:try. Monteoalieu has said : " It is not for the reigning Lundy that the order of succession is established, hut be. cases it a ter the interest of the State that there should be a nagniag family." They belong, therefore, to the State by stricter ties than other citizens: and on account even of their Tiny greatness must be retained in a sort of perpetual wanhl. as, under the guardianship of the Emperor, the di r of their dignity, the appreciator of their actions, and servihg to them as a father as much as guardian, in order to piastre.: to the nation this patrimony intact. It these reasons do not apply in all their Went to the rs of the private family, there are others of no less taip..rtot.co which are drawn fr om the conjoint responsibility insp.oed by a name which is the property of the nation, as mach as of the persons who base the honour of bearing it. Balder , , several of these persons have the privilege of beige the only ones is the state that the Emperor can place, Dy adytion, in the rank of the persons who may succeed to U. crown. But there is no public privilege which ought cut to be paid for by duties specially created to justify its nice-sity, and to co-operate in the object of its esta blishment. Thee... 1 , another point which it is sufficient for us tore. mind jou of—the maintenance of the SALM law in the Im periel dynasty. In France the Salle law is, so to speak,. in emeurated with the monarchy ; and although its o rigin goes back to the remotest periods, it has so completely penetrated into our way of thinking, and is so completely is accord with the French policy, that it b inseparable from all tran.foiniatiens in the monarchical Finally, gelidness, the Senates =um provides far the coo in which the throne elseald be vacant. "If ever the ration should be so wohotomells as to experience this affiati n (to me the l'agosee ides eslebrated edict of July, 1;17), it would be he the Miss itself te repair it."

The telegraph announces the death of the Duke of Lenehtenberg, which took pleas at St. Petersburg an the 3th inst. Maximilian, Duke of Leuchtenberg and Prince of Eichstadt, was a Ileaubarnais, grandson of Josephine, and son of Eugene, who in 189 ti was declared the adopted son of Napoleon Bonaparte. By his mar riage with the Grand Duchess Maria, which took place in 1839, he became the son-in-law of Nicholas , Emperor of all the Bassist,. It is related in tho life of Eugeao that upon the death of his father he was apprenticed to a joiner and worked at the bench; his son, we see, was a member of two imperial families. Eugene, successively Prince of the Empire and Viceroy of Italy, married Augusta Amelia, eldest daughter of the King of B aerie. On the fall of Napoleon he was courteously received at Paris, and addressed even by the restored Bourbons as a Prince. In the treaty of I'aris a suit able establishment was assigned him, and at the Congress of Vienna the Emperor Alexander proposed to make him sovereign of a small principality. When the return of Napoleon from Elba had thrown a cloud over his prospects, ho placed himself under the protection of his father-in-law, front whom he rcecivtd tho Bavarian principality of Eichstadt, which his posterity was declared capable of inheriting in case of failure of the Bavarian line. Eugene died at Munich on the 21st of January, 1824, in the forty-fourth year of his age, leasing six children— two sons and four daughters. The eldest daughter is the consort of Oscar Bernadotte, King of Sweden; the second married the Prince of Hohenzollern Ileichingen ; the third became the wife of the late 1/on Pedro, Emperor of Brazil; and the fourth mar ried a Count of Wirtembcrg. Ilia eldest son espoused in January, 1833, Donna Maria Queen of Portugal, and died two months later. Maximilian, the youngest of Eugene's sons, whose death is now recorded, was born Oct. 2, 1817. Since his marriage he has resided at the Russian court, receiving as one of the family of the Czar the style of His Imperial Highness. Ile was an aide de-camp general of the Emperor, and a general in the Russian service. The Duke was a man of considerable cultivation, and a lover of the natural sciences. The journals of the Academy of Arts of St. Petersburg, of which body he was president, contain a variety of papers, de scribing the result of chemical analyses conducted by the Dukc in his private laboratory. gbe Court.

The works at St. Paul's are being carried on with very much increased rapidity as the time for their compul sory termination more nearly approaches. Upwards of 700 men were employed in the interior yesterday, and the num ber will probably be increased between this and Saturday, when Messrs. Cubitta expect to have finished their labours. The galleries in the nave are being covered with black cloth and an additional gallery over the western entrance (in side) is in course of construction. The gas mains are all laid on and ready for lighting. An experimental lighting took place yesterday evening in the pre sence of Loud John Manners, Lord George Lennox, and a party of ladies and gentlemen, attended by Mr. Phillips of the Board of Works. The whole of the beading round the nave, arctic', and great circular gallery, was fully illuminated, and the effect was strikingly beauti ful. All the architectural decorations of the interior were rendered visible to an extent seldom attainable in the day time, and the paintings in the dome had all the effect of novelty, so clearly perceptible were they, and so well brought out by the brilliant light from beneath. Lord John Manners expressed himself much struck with the Wm s mil complimented the various artists engaged on their MOM His lordship also visited the crypt,which was illuminated in the ordinary manner. At the west-end the preparations are being pushed with equal vigour. Messrs. Dowbiggin and Holland are getting on rapidly with the hall at Chel sea; and the trappings tar the horses are being made under the superintendetee of the authorities at Marlborough House. They will be of black Genoa velvet, to cover the horse completely, and will be ornamented with the Duke's coat of arms, embroidered io heraldic colours, and fringed with silver. sihe various portions of the car are getting on rapidly, and will, it is expected, be pot together at Marlborough House on Monday or Tuesday next. While all these preparations are going on the public anxiety keep rapidly increasing. Tho commercial claws asps. drolly call loudly fur a general holiday, and it is to be hoped that the authorities will take timely steps to have their wishes complied with. In any case business will of course be suspended, but a legal sanction will be neceseary, in order that bills felling due on that day may be legally pre sented on the day bettors or after, as may be determined on. The Emperor of Russia hu selected, to attend the funeral of the late Duko of Wellington, three officer. of gnat distinguished service and high rank, namely, General of Infantry Prince Gortzakow ; Major-General Coact llenkendorf, Imperial Military Commimionor ; and a colonel.

Our list of members had greatly augmented when I last met you, and now, on re-assembling, fifteen fresh candidates are proposed for admission into the Royal Geographical Society. With these end other signs of prosperity, one of the best of which is, the new volume which is now laid en the table (and which every member receives without charge), I have hut one sentiment of regret to express, and that I trust will I soon be obviated. We have not yet obtained that grant of an apartment which hes so often been requested at the hands of former governments. In presenting your petition last season to our vice -President, Prince Albert, I beseeched Ifie Royal Ilighneu to eaoperate with us in the endeavour to obtain an apartment and if this request should have been complied with, I answered for it in your name that the Royal Geographical Society would in return offer a "map office," accessible to all her Majesty's servants and the public. I still adhere to the hope that even when this proposition is fairly con sidered, we must obtain the small boon we aik for. In truth, we know that in this instance we may count upon the support of all enlightened economists, end particularly of Mr. Joseph Hume—(hear, hear)—for they know that in this great commercial country, and with our nit colonies, there is no office where public men can consult authentic geographical records; and that we who are in possession of many thousands of maps and charts now offer to carry out such a Man at an expense of no more than 400/. or 5001. per annum to the British people. No other scientific society W It in its power to offer such practically useful results de se small a monetary consideration. We ,nter upon tldeseleion, gentlemen, with renewed hope of obtaining iatellience of the missing arctic expedition, of four gelbuit countryman, Sir J. Franklin, and his associates. (Hear, hear.) As geographers, we doubted what has recently transpired ; for I only expressed your sentiments when I dwelt in my last address on the belief we enter tained that the resolute character of Franklin must have billneed him le sail boldly northwards through Wellington Obsomel, sad that the energetic and skilful officer who was We mat I. @web of him would as certainly follow him In the ling Peovidentially, Wellington Channel has this your boom howl open, and Sir Edw.

I hope, at all events, that on the receipt of the return die, patches by the Amphitrite, which will arrive its England about Christmas, the state of the Sebring Straits expedition will be brought under consideration. Where they cannot go out on the east side without the assistance of steam, surely on the west side, when the difficulties of the nave station are increased by the shealness of the water, the same auxiliaries mast be still more advantageous." Mr. PITNEY/LE next read a communication, in which he stated his opinion that the missing expedition, if found at all, would be met with on the Asiatic side of the polar regions, and dwelt upon the add these regions would open up to the whale fishery. Captain PENNY also expressed an opinion that Sir John Franklin's expedition must be approaching the Asiatic shores, and that any search to he made for it should pro- ezed by Behring Strait and Nova Zembla. Atter passing the strait the expedition would enter the Arctic Ocean, where a large sea existed, and where, if commenced sufficiently early in the season, there would be four months for active operations. Within that period, and with the assistance of steam power, the pole Itself might almost be traversed. Looking at the opening to British commerce these regions afforded, and the still higher incentives of humanity, it would be a disgrace to this country to neglect to prosecute the search, for which duty he should be happy to offer his services. lie men tioned, as an important fart, calculated to strengthen the hope that Sir John Franklin's expedition had not perished, that a party of twelve American seamen had wintered in a little bay in the regions he proposed to explore and had during their stay there killed no lees than thir teen whales, which would have been sufficient to have supported Sir John's party from the day they embarked till the present time. Captain BRICHT considered that any future expedition that might be sent out should go up to the westward of Spitsbergen, toward, the Seven Islands, and that it shoal consist of screw steam.vessels Dr. Nichelay, Dr. Trueman, Mr. Sanders, and other members, having ifffLred a few umiak', The CHAIRMAN closed the meeting, and in doing so read a letter from the French Minister of Marine to Lady Frank lin, in which he amply recognised the merits of the young French officer, Lieut. Dellieu, who had been sent out as parlor the late expedition, and altogether refuted an im pression which he (the chairmen) said had circulated to some extent here, that that officer had not met with those marks of distinction in his own country, which his conduct merited. REVIVAL OF CONVOCATION. dEETING OF TRE_CLERGY OF TEE CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the rectors, vicars, and incumbents of the City and Archdeaeonry of London, all of whom are az o ffi cio Fellows of Sion College, was held in the large hall of that institution, in accordance with the following requisition: " To the Rev. the President of Zion College. "Rev. and dear Sir,—We the undersigned Fellows of Zion College, believing that the revival of the active powers of Convocation is, under present circumstances, inexpe dient, request that you will have the goodness to call a meeting of the Fellows, to consider the meuures which ought tc be adoptad by them in reference to that subject." The Rev. R. RUDDOCI, M.A., the president of Zion Col lege, occupied the chair. A long and warm discussion having tikes place respect ing the legality of the meeting, which was impugned be cause some of the Fellows had not been summoned to attend. The Re,. Dr. M'Cetm, rector of St. Magnus the Martyr, and representative of the clergy of the archdeaconry of London in Convocation, addressed the meeting at great length in deprecation of the revival. The rev. doctor con cluded by moving the following resolution :—" That a report having been widely circulated that a majority of the clergy of the Church of England and Ireland are desirous that the Convocation now assembled should be allowed to proceed to business, the president and fellows of Sion Col lege beg to be permitted to state that they do not participate in that feeling, nor believe that under present circum stances such a course would be expedient." The Rev. W. Jon:lams, B.D , rector of St. Clement, Esatcheap, seconded the motion. The Re,. J. J. ToooooD, rector of St. Andrew's, Hol born, moved as an amendment that the meeting should be adjourned tine die. The Rev. W. Scorn, incumbent of Christ Church, Hox ton, seconded the amendment. He believed there was an obseurity in the mild form of the requisition, which appeared merely to protest against the revival of convocation at the present time, but which went directly against synodal ac tion under any circumstances—in fact, agaiest that most sacred synod of all which was summoned by the apostles at Jerusalem. (Cheers, and cries of No, no.") The Rev. W. Boons, reactor Allhallows, Thames-street, expressed his approbatiod of the motion proposed by Dr. M'Caul. The Rev.Dr.Wortbington, incumbent of Trinity Church, Gray's-inn•road, and the Rev. Thomu Darling, having spoken in favour of the revival of Convocation. The CHAIRMAN put the amendment to the meeting, and it was lost. . . -- The resolution proposed by Dr. IDCaul was then agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceeding'. du!growl:mat ExeLosios.—Whilst some men were employed on Thursday in blasting the rocks at Richmond walk, Devonport, an unexpected explosion took place, arising from the want of proper precaution, and the fire having communicated with a barrel containing half a cwt. of powder, that too exploded. The mull was that the men, named respectively S. Pengelley, Edw. Willis, E. Welch, J. Bellick, and William Veale, sustained very severe in juries, their clothes being literally torn off their backs. They were immediately conveyed to the Devon and Corn wall hospital, and it is hoped that they will eventually re cover. A LANDLORD ON Fns TRADE.—III the midst of the abuse that a remnant of the protectionists are con tinually dealing out against the system of free trade and its advocates, the following extract from a speech delivered by Lord Harrowby, at • meeting of his Staffordshire , tenantry, a few days ago, and reported in the Staffordshire ' Advertiser of the 13th instant, will be read with interest, and to many who aro in doubt as to the issue of free trade principles it cannot fail to be highly satisfactory For the purpose of improvingthe condition of the tenantry, he believed there was nothing better than agricultural im provement and activity. It was unwise to depend for support on laws : they were a kind of artificial dam, which the waters of impalas feeling might at any time sweep away.

A Vl:lmm TamunaL.—An English diplomatist took up his nsidence some time ego in an hotel in the Rue Nene dee Idatlinsins kept by a Swiss, who, it is said, was famed, Lsedmann, or President, of the Confederation. He had with him a box containing a number of bank-notes, together with about 2401 . In sovereigns. The box had several locks to it, and the gentleman always placed the keys at night under his pillow. To his amiss, • few days after his arrival he found that the gold had been taken away, but that the notes bad been left untouched. A oetnplaint was made to the police. The hotel keeper, anxious to preserve the credit of his house, made great 'efforts to detect the th,lef, and succeeded in obtaining information which led him to suspect one of his waiters, • Swiss. To obtain a confession from him, he established some persons as a sort of Vebmic Tribunal in his cellar, and made • pompous display of all tbe parapher nalia of justice. The waiter was taken before the tribunal and solemnly interrogated, but he stoutly persisted in pro testing his innocence. The commissary of police, who sus pected the same man, learned on his part that he had told some parsons that he would indulge in debauchery to get himself discharged, and also that, in expectatioa of his dis charge, he had taken an apartment in the Rue du Races. The apartment was searched, and part of the sovereigns stolen were found. The man was at once ',petted lie then stated that he bad taken the keys of the box whilst the owner was asleep, and, after stealing the gold, had replaced them beneath his pillow. WOLF HUNTING IN FRANCE.—Some grand wolf hunts have just taken place in the environs of Gentili, de partment of the Morihan, a very wild country. Inane of them a young Perin= lady, accompanied by her linsiond s was noted for the ardour with which she followed ths hounds. On entering a valley she all at once found herself in a bog. She made her horse take several leaps in order to reach solid ground ; but at last the animal could go no further, and began to sink. First, he descended to the knees, then to the body, and afterwards to the back. At that moment the lady, with great presence of mind, drew up her riding habit, and stood up on the saddle. Still the poor hone continued to go lower. She thereupon placed her feet on its head, and with a vigorous leap succeeded in reaching tern:firms ifer husband was near to her, and, as his horse was also sinking, he followed her example. The escape was considered most miraculous. The emotion caused by the danger of the lady and her husband was so rest that the heat was suspended. The horses were rwoud with groat difilcalty.—Galipasai. THE MELBOURNE AUSTRALIAN SCRE' STEA)IER. The following is an extract from a private letter received at Southampton from a passenger on board the Australian mail-packet Melbourne. It gives a graphic account of the mishaps of that unfortunate steamer, and contains a most serious charge against her crew from which it would appear that proper care was not taken to select ati efficient crew to navigate the vessel, and msy, perhaps, go some way to explain the series of misfor tunes which befel the packet: " Thursday, Oct. 21, 1852. Western Ocean. " It appears that our unlucky ship is not destined to reach Australia, everything having gone wrong on board of her since we first started from London. In the first place, the day after we started, a serious accident occurred to one of the engineers on board, he having had his right hand cut off by the engine. Then a succession of gales and badweather. causing us to lose our main topgallant mast, &e., and forcing us to bear up for the Downs and refit ship, and endeavour to atop the leaks from wh tali the water poured into the vessel Mauch a rate that there was hardly a dry bed in her, be sides causing a delay of at least six days in reaching Ply mouth. Upon our arrival there, another delay of a week, during which we had • fair wind fur starting,the ship being in such a state that it was found necessary to send a num ber of workmen from the dockyard on board to repel r damages. We then made an attempt to start from Devonport (where we refitted), and in working her out she ran foul of a steamer and a hulk, carrying away the steamer's bowsprit close to her bow, and losing our own anchors, cot-heads, jitehoom, &c., ripping up her bow, besides other minor damages. This, of course, caused a further delay, as wo were obliged to moor her alongside of a hulk to repair. The repairs being completed in two days, we again started on our voyage for St. Vincent, one of the Cape de Verd Islands, for which we carried the mail. We had a first-rate breeze on starting, and kept it until we had made about 800 miles of our voyage; wind still favourable, and ship making about eleven miles an hour, when unfortunately (there being • very heavy swell running, although the weather continued fine) about ono o'clock on Tuesday morning, Oet. 19, an hour after midnight, all the passengers being in their bed., and only the watch on deck, the noble, but confoundedly disastrous steam-ship Melbourne, rolled all three of her top-masts with her jile boom over the side, carrying, of cour.e, sails and rigging with it. You can hardly imagine the conster nation that prevailed on board of us, the passengers flying out of their beds just as they were, officers as well as men being completely thunderstruck, for it occurred in a mo ment. The ship was now a perfect wreck, and several of the skip's company got some severe bruises, as well as some of the passengers, who, being seamen, lent a hand to secure the rigging, &c. Happily no lives were lost. But this was not to be our worst, for about three in the morning, long before daylight, the screw of the engine suddenly stopped working, without any apparent cause. The chief engineer could give no solution of the reason of it. The ship was now totally unmanageable, as having no headway she would not answer her helm, and there being a very heavy sea oa at the time she rolled tremendously. It now came on to blow and rain, and I assure you the oldest seaman in the ship gave it up for a bad jab, as she began to make a good deal of water, and shameful to relate, although her crew are composed of upwards of forty men, many of them could nut be found ; in fact they hid themselves just at the time their services were most required. I myself, actually, after in vain calling for a rope to lash some of the rigging with, had to go forward on the forecastle to get one, at the risk of breaking my neck or being relied over board. At last daylight came and disclosed the miserable plight to which the steamer was reduced. The deck was loaded with coal in bag (for which there was not room below), water casks, and spars, almost all of which broke adrift during the night and were flying about the deck in all directions, rendering it almost a matter of impossibility to move a foot without tho risk of broken I'mbs. We now hoisted our flag union down, as a signal of distress Two vessels having hove in sight they were signalled to keep by us in case of any further accident oc curring. Their names were the Ripon, of Aberdeen, and the Alexander, of Exeter, the one bound to Berbice, and the other to Rio Grande. One was a schooner, the other a brig; the latter stayed by us for thirty-six hours, during tho boat part of which time the screw remained immoveable. It was then decided to hoist up the screw to endeavour to find out the cause of its not working, and on which point all oar lives, there is no doubt of it, depended. Upon hoisting it out it was found enveloped in ropes and mils, being a part of the wreck, which in going overboard had been drawn in around it. After intense labour it was cleared away and again shipped, but all the efforts of the engineers to make it work proved futile until after about six or eight hours' continued exertion, when it moved slowly. Three feint cheers were then given by a small part of the men, and we commenced steaming slowly away, at about four miles an hour, leaving the brig astern of us. The propriety of run ning into the neatest port, and then and there signing a protest against going any further in the ship, she being evidently, to all intents and purposes, uaseaworthy, was now mooted among the passengers. Meetings of the pas sengers and officers were held upon the matter : but nothing decisive was come to until last evening, the 21st of October, when it was discovered that the ship had sprung another leak in the mail room. A meeting of the second clue passengers was then held, and after much discussion it was resolved that tho captain should bear up and run the , vessel into Lisbon, which step was at once taken, and for which port we are now running with the hope of arriving there neat to a complete wreck, as we are at the time of writing this letter. • • • We got into I.isbou on Sunday morning last, Oct. 24, where we are up to this date, Oct. 27. All Use passengers are very discon • tented, and nothing certain is known u to whether the , ship will go on or not. Most of the passenger declare that they will not go in her ; but the vessel, in my opinion, must go after she is refitted because of being under con , tract to carry the mail. We shall have to lay here a week , or two at least to give her a thorough repair. OUR ARTISANS AND THEM PRESENT PROSPECTS. —lt certainly seems to us that the artisans of the United Kingdom have never had a better prospect before them than they have now. Nothing is to be done without in dustry, right endeavour, and good conduct; but with these they all may, if they please, maintain themselves respect ably, and make satisfactory progress. At the present mo ment we are disposed to think there are comparatively few really good workmen out of employ, and while bread and other necessaries of life are cheap, wages are high. . . . "At the present day, a Manchester joiner, who earns 4s. 4d. for ten hours' labour, can purchase a day's food for one-fourth of that sum, whence it follows that his disposable wages are 200 per cent. higher for ten hours' labour, than a man working at the same trade could have earned in 1725 by working twelve hours." Compare the prices of things even forty years ago with the prices now—salt, sugar, tea, butter, soap, flour, clothes ; esamine, too, the increase in the average length of life (an important point), and the improvement in material condition is made evident; while, if you notice the establishment of element ary drawing schools, artisans' schools, schools of design, and free libraries, you will sea a good prospect opening for in tellectual advancement. At all events, and we oBer the ad vice only to such as are disposed to take it from us, and will not think it impertinent—Do not fail to give your children the advantage of the means of improvemeat and ultimate advancement which offer themselves; send your sons to the elementary drawing-schools, and encourage in them a taste for residing,— The Builder. TUB DRTPOOL reading, Robinson, the lodging-house keeper who received Snaps and Smith in the twilight of the morning after the murder, has been sur rendered by her bail, It being suspected she was about to proceed to Australia. She and her husband had given up housekeeping, had sold their furniture and packed up their apparel. She gave out that she was going out of town for three weeks, but dad not state where to ; she entered a cab and drove towards Beverley, but was captured in quits a different direction, at Heade, the first station on the rail way from Hull for:Liverpool. There she was recaptured on Tuesday last. On Wednesday her solicitor offered before the magistrates new bail, or the deposit of 608. Both were refused.—flub Parket THE ALLEGED POISONING AT NORTH OCXENDON. —This case of supposed murder, which has created so much sensation throughout Emelt, has been brought to a close. The person alleged to have been poisoned was • hmale, named Sarah Laster, whose death took place between two and three yeses sines, and the person against whom suspi cion rested WY her husband, an ostler at the White House Inn, at Ockendon. The man cohabited wigh the daughter of the woman (by • former husband), wHo ac cused him of poisoning her mother. The accusation coming to the ears of the clergyman of the village, and the woman persisting in the charge, the body was disinterred and at the inquest held on the remains by Mr. C. C. Lewis, the coroner, an order was given for an analysis of the stomach and its contents, the proceedings being adjourned to enable the examination being made. Yesterday Professor Taylor, the Lecturer of Guy's Hospital, communicated the result of the analysation to the coroner, from which it appeared that the deceued had not died from the effects of poison. The man has since been liberated. Tile DOUBLE MURDER NEAR STAFFORD.—The two sons, Henry and Thomas Blackburne, continue in custody on suspicion of having some knowledge of the barbarous murder of their aged parent., at Ash-pitts, near Stafford. The police have obtained a chain of evidence whieb will go far to bring to justice the guilty parties. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday evening an accident, resulting in the death of two highly respect able persons, took place at the Seaforth station of the Liver pool, Crosby, and Southport Railway.
