In a portion of our issue last evening we were enabled to announce the arrival of her Majesty's steam frigaite Terrible, at Spithead, with news from Lisbon three ee s later than that brought by the Stromboli. The Terrible lett the Tagus on the afternoon of the 25th ult., with despatches from the British minis ter and from Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier. The Doak!. r Lady Clinton and Sir Horace Seymour have arrived by this steamer. The Queen Dowager had sailed for Madeira en board the Howe, 120, Capt. Sir James Stirling. Previous to the departure of the Terrible. On the 26th alt., her majesty visited the queen :end king-consort at the I'eria, and next day paid a farewell visit to the queen of Portugal at the palace of the Necessidades. On her majesty's return to the Howe, the embarkation was attended by the king consort, his excellency Sir Hamilton Seymour, several members of the Portuguese government, Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, end the captains and commanders of the fleet, the latter being_ in attendat cc in their respective barges. The St. Vincent, Queen, Caledonia, Canopus, and • Vengeenac, and the steamers, manned yards, and salut. d as the barge passed with the royal stan dard 11 , i• g. Soon after the Queen Dowager was em barked, cos Terrible took the Howe in tow, and pro ce•ded down the Tagus, under salutes front the castles and from the squadron with manned yards. Te this eompli •nt her Majesty replied by the signal on board the Howe of " Farewell." Tue day was ex ceedingly fine, but on the bar the rollers were found to be setting in heavily, and soon after passing it, from the violent pitching of the Howe and Terrible, the towing hawsers were both elm-Md. away. The Howe was obliged to anchor inunmediately within the influence of the rollers. The Terrible also anchored, and, with steam up, rem .fined in readiness to take the Howe again in tow Hum e—.r.y. Both vessels rode safely during the night, and in the morning a land breeze enabled the Howe to proceed on her course. The Terrible attended her char 01 the land, and then returned into the Tagus. The Se,,Loge, with the Queen Dowager's retinue and baggage. bad left two days previous, also the Vixen, with tee Duke and Duchess of Palmella. Rear. Admiral Sir Charles Napier, with the British squadroo, remained at anchor off Belem. He was eontinu.dly exercising the crews of the different ships under he. command. The typhus fever had made its appearance in the fleet, several cases having occurred in the S'. Vincent and Caledonia; on board the last ship tine, new cases broke out on the day the Ter rible hi!. A marine, named Bray, had died of it on board the Caledonia, and a midshipman was on the point of death in the St. Vincent. The 'Terrible has brought home the 200 super numerary marines sent out to the squadron when active British interference in the affairs of Portugal was decided upon. The politica! news is not important. Lisbon itself remained tranquil. The elections had been postponed for two months. All sorts of ministerial changes were talked of. On the oae band the immediate accession of Costa Cabral to power was confidently asserted, while on the other it was maintained that Senhor F!nseca Magalhaes had actually received in structions from the queen to construct a cabinet from the juste in ilieu party, with the intention of preventing ' the cert on triumph of the Cabraiists at the approach ing election of deputies to the Cortes. Nothing decisive had taken place, though the names of the new minis ters are mentioned. Mercantile affairs in Lisbon do not seem to have been ad cted by the monetary crisis in this country. We find no failures announced. Exchange, 54d. per milrer. THE OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " EXPRE,S." United States Consulate,'. Southampton, Nov. 3. Siit,—The following announcement, reflecting upon the past oper..tions and future prospects of the Ocean Steam Naviguti.in Company of New York, with who , e affairs, from being their repregeutative in this country. I am perfectly conversant, appeared in the Morning Chronicle and Globe of the lit inst. : "The line of steamers between New York and Bremen will, In all probability, be iliwintinned, as the returns do not cover the expenses, and comyetition with the Havre and Liverpool lines is in rain." As this which has only this moment been brought to nay notice, i; calculated to do injury to the com pany, I bnpe )ou will find room in your columns of to-day for this lett. r, so that the steamer which leaves for Boston to-morrow, and which will carry out the Chronicle and Globe of the let instant, may also carry out the refutation of their grat Litnus sleuth r. If the premises or any preposition are proven to be false.' the superstructure meta/ nocredit. I firmly and solemnly declare, from my own personal knowledge, that the two trips made by the Washington, under the most ii-astrous circumstance., have mole than paid all her current and incidental expenses, allowing for insurance and a liberal deduction fur wear and tear • and, inasmuch as no other person in this kingdom has equal knowledge with myself of her earn• gs and expenses, I pronounce the assertion that •' the returns do not cover the expenses," to be a gra tuitous fal.,eh-od. The inference as to the line being discontinued being based upon that assertion, is not only equally false and slanderous, but malicious. The company have had much to contend aglinst, as all new companies must have. Their difficulties are now over. Their second boat (the Hermann) is launched, and will be ready to take her station in the line about the first of next Alarch : the third boat is under contract. I ask the public If this l al, like a discontinuance of the line 7 It may appear to some of our friends that the Havre Com• pany or tbr Liverpool Company have instigated the invidious remarks referred to. Of this, howevcr, I can freely evils.- rate them : their c , nduct to us has been courteous and liberal —they feel convinced, so I have been credibly informed, u we do, that there is plenty of room for us all,—that increased facility of communication will in. crew° the traffic, and that, instead of hoetite rivals, we are, in truth, coadjutors in the gre►t work of " bridging over the Atlantic." _ _ All that is wanted by the company I represent at the hands of the press is fair play. If they will not deal fairly with us, I am satisfied the public will. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Joe. RODNEY CaOSKET. DEsTauerms nits/J.—This morning, about five o'clock, a fire broke out upon the premises belonging to Hanoi. Barger and Co., wholesale confectioners, 15 and 16, Biahopsgan-street. In lem than fire minute.' after the alarm was sounded fire in immense sheets shot hirh into the air. The various engines arrived in a comparatively short periial, and, no time b. ing lost in setting them to work, a powerful body of water was scattered over the flames, which had the desired effect of preventing the adjoining property from be coming ignited. Notwithstanding that the firemen, under the direction of their superior officers, continued I. labour most ineessanly, they were unable to get the fire extin guished until the upper sad first floors of the south wing of the premises were burned ont, and the valu able stock therein destroyed. The damage, at a moderate calculation, will reach to several hundred pounds. For tunately the other portions of the premises received no damage unless by water. About one hour previous, the premises in the occupation of Mean. C. and J. Reid, tailors, 21, Stville-place, Lambeth, were discovered to be on fire. The police gave an instant alarm, and the engines of the Brigade and West of England promptly attended. An abund.int supply of water was then flowing (eons the Lam beth Company's maius, and owing to the exertion' of the firemen and pollee the fire WAS soon got out, but not until the flooring. partitions, fixtures, and stock in trade were damaged. The stock was insured in the London Fire Office. VOLENTARY GAME Itneoax.—The Duke of Marl borough has caused as official circular to be addressed to his tenantry, giving them permission to destroy hares and rabbits on their farms by all means in their power, except by the use of guns: and suggests that the object should be attained, if possible . by the use of greyhounds only. For' this concession he expects that they will preserve the winged Rime, and that he will hereafter have no claims made upon knit for injury done to the crops by game. His grace re serves the uninterrupted right to himself and his keepers to enter upon the lands and kill game. We are glad to find that his grace has at length done this tardy act of justice to his tenantry. It will be the means of preventing the heart buraings and dissatisfaction which have hitherto existed, and we have no doubt that his grace will be rewarded by the improvement of his property, which must necessarily result should he follow up this first important step by other nee's ivy and sufficient reform—Mark Lens Express. On Monday, the ht instant, a General Assembly of the Amolemicians was beld at the Royal Academy of Arts, in Trafahrar-eguare, when Mr. Frederick Richard Pickers gill and Mr. Sydney Smirke wero duly elected associates of that institution. SUICIDE.- On Monday evening a mu (name un known) went into an empty house in the northern part of Liverpool, on the pretest of wishing to gen if it suited bins to lire in. The woman in charge of the house, getting impatient for his exit, proceeded upstairs, and found him lying on the floor of one of the bedrooms, weltering in his blood. He had cut his throat with a razor, which was lying nner him. COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'C'lock.—Some vague reports are current that the French loan, or perhaps the terms upon which it is to be bid for, have been quietly arranged betwixt a company of capitalists in Paris and the finance minister, supported by the Bank of France. The latter, it is said, is not only to take a million sterling on its own amount, but to assist the other parties, on occasion, with advances on the I scrip and liberal discounts. Whatever foundation there may be for this supposed pre-arrangement, it must be satisfactory to learn that, as also asserted, no English capitalist house will take part in the opera tion. The terms indicated are the same as have for merly been published, viz., 75 for 100 Three per Cent. Stock, with a commission besides, the amount ' of which is held in reserve between the parties. It is held to be not at all probable that there will be I more than one serious list of bidders, and under the present circumstances of the money market in Paris I and elsewhere, and still more here, those capitalists must be bold men who shall ven t ure to embark in I such an operation. Our funds show some improvement this morning, and Console advanced to 82 to; for money, and 821 to 1 for time. These quotations were maintained for some time, when the market became less firm, and Consols have been sellers at 821 for time. They are now again 821 to I. Bank Stock is 184 to 186. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 82k to f,. Furshesisee Bills have rea lised 14s. to 19s. premium. For present transfer I Consols are 82 to 1. They have been 813. The foreign securities have been entirely neglected. Chilian Three per Cents. are 481, and Grenada Deferred, 34. Belgian Foor-and-a-llslf per Cents. are 88, ex div. Spanish Three per Cents. have been 261 to 27 nominally ; and Mexican, 151 to 161. The meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Rickards, Little, and Co., held at their counting-house, has just concluded. It lasted less than half-an-hour, and was less like a meeting of creditors than of friends. Mr. llodgson was in the chair. Resolutions were passed for carrying on the estate under inspection ; Messrs. Barnett, Howe, Cummings, and I'rinsep, tho in spectors. We have a report, which, appearing to come from the Stock Exchange, must be received with caution, of applications to the Bank for assistance from some quarter of note. Of course applications are made to the Bank every day, in the most ordinary times, for loans and discounts. ENGLISH FUNDS. Rank Stock, 185 4 3 Cl. Cons. Ac.. 811 21 3 per CL Red.

HULL, Nov. 2.-The relief afforded by government to the Bank of England has tended much to promote confidence and remove the sad state of distrust which has hung like a dead weight over every branch of commerce for many wont. past; there are now symptoms of a better state of things, an d a ret urn to regular business. The arrivals of foreign grain into this port are moderate ; of Wheat, chiefly new foreign, which is very fine and much esteemed, sales are practicable at 2s. more money than a fortnight ago. In all kinds of spring corn mote business is doing. At this day's market we had only a moderate supply of Wheat from the farmers. They are now much engaged with field operations, and under unusually favourable circumstances. Fully 24. per qr. more money was paid on best qualities. Foreign in ra ther improved demand, at Is. to 2s. more money. All descriptions of spring corn worth rather more money. We have good supplies of Linseed again, and the market un altered.

Livrnroot, Nov. 2.-Compared with former weeks, the collective arrivals into this port since Tuesday last are very limited in amount; and as from the constant drain upon our supplies for some tame past, our stocks in granary are mate rially diminished, we bad a less display of samples at our Corn Exchange today than usual. tnglish, Irish, and foreign Wheats, in consequence, were generally held at a further advance upon that stated below, making the rise 6d. per 701 b. over the currency of this day ae'nnight, at which there was a moderately fair, but neither en active nor exten sive sale. States and Canadian Flour continuing to meet a good inquiry, prime Western brands realised 298.

PLymourit, Nov. 2.—The supply of Wheat from far men continues unequal to the demand, and at this morning's aarkd millets were free buyers of granaried Wheats, at prices fUTIy equal to those lately paid. Stocks are become low, with a large consumption. Barley is also in good demand. SALISIIVRY, Nov. 2.—This was the first pitch market. The obnoxious tollidish, holding nearly two quarts, was taken round sad dipped into every sack, which gave general displeasure, from its unusual size. A considerable quantity of Corn was offered, and sold by sample, according to old custom, some preferring that plan, from practice, others liking the short credit of 11 days, so many having their money locked up in Brodie's Bank • but little business was trans acted, though Wheat was Offered, the best at lest week's prices, common qualities at even less money, fine white Wheat only making 2gs. per sack ; flee red, 275. to 275. 6.1.; good, 261.; common, 251. Finest Barley made but 325. per qr.; very good, 30s. to 315.; moderate, 295. to 305., being less by from Is. to 2a. per qr. Oats were a dull sale, at a decline of ls. per qr.: prices from 20s. to 255. par qr. Beans, good new, 295. per sack ; common, 26e. Peas, white, 285.; grey, 21r. to 265. New winter Tares, 545. per qr.; old, 50s. Muezzin, Oct. 27.—Peas are a little cheaper, 355. to 365., with small supplies. New Wheat arriving in somewhat larger quantities ; old, 611 b. to 621 b., is held at 525. to 535.; with increasing supplies, we are certain to be considerably lower ere long. VENICE Oct. 23.—There is some excitement in our grain market, produced by the result of the fair at Rovego this week, where a considerable demand took place for the finer qualities of indtzeneus Wheat and Indian Corn, and prices rose as high as 25 lie. per sack for the former, and 14 liv. for the latter ' • this intelligence has had an effect on our market, and 4 f. hRs been given for Indian Corn for delivery in March and April next, and holders of Galata are now asking 4f. 10, or 30s. 7d. free on board. It appears th.,t the W'hent crops in our provinces this year , do not materially exceed those of last year, and that the breadth of land which will be sown this season will be much greater than usual, con sequently the greater quantity of Wheat used for seed will absorb the excess of the harvest. It is to be remarked, also, that, there being no stocks of old Wheat at the period of the harvest, the new was brought into consumption much earlier than usual, and to a much greater extent, owing to the scanty stocks and high prices of Indian Corn. The crops of Maize have been fine and abundant ; but this grain also has been brought into use much sooner than usual, and indeed prematurely, the farmers and peasantry resorting to artificial means of drying it for the daily consumption of their families, before it was fit for grinding, rather than purchase old Maize at the high rates then current. Under these circumstances, it is not expected that our present prices can materially recede, although we look for further considerable arrivals from tke Black Sea, and the last ad vices from Galata having brought iatelligeoce of an advance it that market. CHEESE.—SALISBURY, Nov. 2.—A very flat 011tr kat, and very little sold, though those wishing to purchase might have done so at a further decline of 21; per cwt. ; now* but the very finest qualities keeping their prices.

Tice recent brief and inglorious campaign at Wanganui, with the atrocities preceding it, has brought back public attention to New Zealand. Along with the public, we had hoped that grave dif ferences and catastrophes might cease to be the perio dical news of that colony. The settlers, to be 'lure, had still their rights and grievances to urge against the company. But these, we were told, were is way of adjustment; and that, whatever claims for redress to private losses might be evoked from the past, the future at least gave promise of harmony, prosperity, and peace. Such at least must have been the conviction of the gentlemen of this company, in announcing the forma tion of a " free-church settlement" at Otago, in the southern island. Their prospectus, besides the usual worldly-minded inducements held out to emigrants, was couched in the language of piety, which not only spoke well for their own state of mind, bat was eminently calculated to secure its object. It was addressed to the fervid enthusiasm and the most concentrated local prejudices of the people of Scotland. The staff of an emigration had been provided at the expense of the company ; and it is not impossible that a small number of persons, of peculiarly strong faith, might have become bona fide adventurers in the scheme, had it not been for one of those untoward events which the company, repeating the language they have used in the recent publication referred to, will, no doubt, ascribe to "the perplexities of an adverse providence." Unfortunately, however, at the very time when these pamphlet prospectuses were circulating in Scotland— when the pulpit, the press, and even the General Assembly of the Free Church, were engaged in the recruiting service of the New Zealand Company—the news arrived of a fresh and sanguinary outbreak of the aborigines ; and we learn from facts which can not be disguised, that nothing less appears to await the settlers than a war of extermination against the barbarians who surround them. Our limits preclude us from giving all the particu lars of these recent disasters • but we shall state sum marily what we have collected from private letters, and it is, in the main, confirmatory of the reports pub lished last week. The scene of the conflict was a place called Wanganui, a little agricultural settlement, at the mouth of a river of the same name, at about 120 miles to the northward of Wellington, in Cook's Strait. This village never contained more than two or three hundred European inhabitants, who have been left almost unprotected, and exposed to the capricious treat ment of the native tribes; all of which, however, origi nated in disputes respecting the validity of Colonel WAKEFIELD'S purchases of land. The first overt act of the last outbreak was the murder of the wife and three children of a most respectable Scotch farmer named GILFILLAN ; a settler of that class whom the New Zealand Company are now inviting to join the emigration to a more remote and unpro tected part of the colony. We are sorry, how ever, to add, that this was not the commencement of Mrs. GIIAILLAN'S sufferings. It is generally known in the colony that that most excellent woman had, so long as two years ago, in a former raid of the same ruthless savages, undergone the last indignity that could be offered, and that under the most fright ful circumstances. It is time for the public to in quire, when other unsuspecting rustics are recom mended to follow with their wives and daughters, what security there is against their subjection to similar outrages •, whether noble lords and gentlemen, who traffic in the waste lands of this territory, are accurately informed of the real state of the case; and if they have been misled by the interested and coloured reports of agents in the colony, why they do not take the evi dence of impartial witnesses, and ,endeavour to set themselves right with the justice and humanity of the country. To return to the narrative : as soon as the mas sacre of Mr. GILFILLAN'd family was reported at Auckland, the seat of government, distant from Wanganui by sea at least 700 or 800 miles, the governor, Capt. GREY, called upon Col. M'CLEVERTY, the " commander of the forces," and the Hon. W. C. YELVERTON, in command of the artillery and gun boats, to accompany him to the scene of action, in her Majesty's steamer Inflexible, with all the force they could muster, amounting to about 700 men. They found the natives about equal in number to themselves, posted in one of their own formidable stockades, on the upper part of the river. A regular siege was commenced. An incessant fire of musketry was maintained on both sides for several days. Native scouts and friendly chieftains lent their assistance I to the British. Congreve rockets, light artillery, gun boats—every means was used in order to shell them out lof their stockade; bat in vain. The impracticable nature of' the ground, and the desperate valour of these semi-barbarians, set the whole European force at defiance; and the governor thought it prudent to re tire, having gained no other advantage than the death of the chieftain Malan', and about thirty or forty of his adherents. Such was the state of the colony at the date of the last intelligence. Our limits preclude us to-day from giving utter ance to such reflections as naturally suggest them selves, on reading the foregoing particulars. They may, perhaps, be too obvious to require any expression of ours. We think it right, however, to state, for the information of those who have friends in the older and larger settlements, such as Wellington, Nelson, and Auckland, that no apprehension of danger was felt in those places. The impression I was that the natives had sullenly acquiesced in the maintenance of the existing locations, but were determined to prevent the extension of the colony, and were proceeding systematically to cut off the outposts, in order to drive the Europeans within the pale of the settled terri tory. Within those limits we believe that the colo nists will be as safe, and much more prosperous, than in any part of the United Kingdom : but beyond them they must live in constant preparation for these murderous attacks, unless some better security can be provided than heretofore for the quiet prosecution of agricultural pursuits. _ There are two questions we will venture to conclude with. Is it possible that, after the rcooipt of this intelligence, the New Zealand Company can—we had almost said can be allowed to—go on advertising the sale of land in some other far off corner of the wilder ness, in the very jaws of the Anthropophagi • so far from the nearest residence of white men ihat the cannibal feast of the victorious savages may have been consummated, and the very bones of the settlers may have been picked, before the first rumour of the inva sion shall have reached their neighbours? And the second is : in what manner, and at what time, do the New Zealand Company propose to indemnify those unfortunate persons who, confiding in their represen tations and their honour, have thus ventured, and have lost, their all ? Tilt registrar-general's returns (which will be found in another column), like all other authentic sanitary records, acquire additional interest from the threat ened approach of cholera. It is well that these documents should be studied carefully. What we have to desire is their admission into parochial and municipal apprehensions. The local legislation of the country has the public health upon its shoulders. Right or wrong, the fact is se. If beards of guardians and town councils will not act, there is nobody to force theta into action, or supply their place. With this duty they should feel the responsibility that ac companies it. They have protested against a general sanitary board. They have now an opportunity of showing that such a board is unne?mary. Thy sci si : CO probation. The next Kam mast the question who is to preside over the health of towns. More than all, we an. threatened with the cholera. Let the municipal and parochial authorities show themselves equal to the emergency. They cannot any longer plead want of power. The Nuisances Removal Act of lad session invests them with liberty of action, and furnishes them, besides, with a simple legal machinery for applying their powers to offenders. There is no reason why any borou4h blessed with a town council or a board of guardians should be any longer poisoned from its sewers, or fever-stricken from its cesspools. The in c•-hitants of the nuisance-ridden quarter have but to comp , 4 ma; & •'-..'• complaint with a medical l an . , M • . certificate. The governing uq...„ f eouncn, jfl. ticca, or boards of guardians, as the case may be, issue their summons to the owner or occupier. If he neg lects to attend their court, and fails to abate the nuis ance, the complainant receives from thecourt authority to do it for him, and saddle the defaulter with all the coats, legal and local. This short and simple net puts a broom into every hand. It only demands a sense of the nuisance from an inhabitant, and a complaint arising, to lead to a prompt abatement of the source of annoyance. The measure will act usefully in more ways than one. It will supply not only a relief but a test. It will rid towns of their nuisances and rob local laziness of au argument. The usual plea to all charges of neglect of sanitary duty brought against municipal bodies has been, hitherto, want of power. This plea is barred since the statute 9 and 10 Viet., chap. 96, cams into operation. Moreover, this act may help us t• evidence of the real concern of the country in sanitary matters. The agitation of these subjects has hitherto pro needed chiefly from scientific philanthropists, most of them medical practitioners. But we have little proof that the people who chiefly suffer from neglect of sanitary precautions are themselves awake to their danger, or sensible of the amount of their losses, pecu niary and otherwise. But since this act was passed, if they tolerate a nuisance, it may be argued that they are careless of its operation. They don't complain be cause they do not feel. 'They suffer, but it is from unseen causes. Fever strikes in secret. Malaria cannot be weighed and handled. Plague walks in visible, until abut up in the condensing apparatus of the chemist. There is reason to fear that the people of this country are insensible, on the whole, to the poisons they breathe, and the filth that surrounds them. In the worst cases both minds and senses have become subdued to the atmosphere that surrounds them. Item health is in these cases an unknown blessing, and like coined money to a savage. There are thou sands who ':ndcrstand the good of a glass of gin, for one who appreciates the effects of a good washing. Few, who have not had the reflections forced on them by science, in some form or other, ever reflect that we swallow air just as much as we do food or drink; that there are poisonous 'orms of the former just as mach as there are deadly preparations of the latter ; that as far as air-diet goes, there are thousands daily rationed on prussic acid, in forms more or less diluted. With the facts before our eyes, and the fears in our hearing, there may now be some chance of the sanitary reformer being heard. We have almost grown weary of re peating the startling results of sanitary inquiry. We are tired of reminding readers that every year wit nesses a slaughter from preventible causes as fatal as Waterloo—that in Lancashire alone the sum total of such preventible deaths amounts to upwards of 10,000 —that the Londoner on the average throws away eight years of life, and the inhabitants of Liverpool nineteen—that in a square mile of country the mor tality is 1 in 52, while in the worst town districts of the same area it is I in 37 annually—that for I death in 56 inhabitants of Hackney, there is 1 in 19 of St. Olaves—that the unnecessary sicknesses average yearly I,6Bo,ooo—the unne cessary widows 27,000—the unnecessary orphans 100,000, the unnecessary funerals 60,000—that all this represents but a tithe of the loss sustained by the diminution of productive labour, the unnecessary charges on the poor rates, on hospitals, an dispensa ries, on the thousand forms of public and private charity, and no little of the criminality of the coun try. All these truths arc becoming " flat, stale, and unprofitable" by dint of repetition. We are anxious, at present, to recall to the minds of those in autho rity, both in the metropolis and the provinces, that there is an act, above referred to, which gives local bodies the necessary powers for summarily abating nuisances of all denominations. Whether the cholera be hovering about our shores or not, there is no ques tion that fever is at home amongst us. He at least is no visitor, but a constant guest sitting at the poor man's door, always, and not seldom setting his terrible foot across the rich man's threshold. If it were but to cut off his supplies, local authorities should vigorously and gene rally bring into play their powers under the stet. 9 and 10 Viet., chap. 96. If cholera comes into the bargain, they will find the business on their hands so increase that the mach dreaded Board of Health will very likely bo prayed for by the general voice of the country. Bat in the mean time they may either pro long their tenure of power, or grace their relinquish ment of it by doing what they can for the removal of glaring, staring, stinking nuisances, wherever such exist. If they neglect this duty, the responsibility which now lies on them will weigh ten times heavier. They have mach to answer for in the past. If they remain inactive they will find, in due time, that they were destined to have still more to answer for in the future. It rests with them to leave the field to cholera, or to struggle with him to leave his favourite allies, filth, stench, and poison, in full occupation of their vantage ground, or to best the main army by cutting off these, its supporting reserves. The means of carrying on the war are within their reach. Neglect of them can only be explained by. treachery, or incapacity, or supineness. Whichever of the three they rest under at last, they are equally convicted of unfitnemi for that duty which they will not delegate to other hands, though hitherto they have fulfilled so little of it with their own. TIIE chaplain of the Preston Hoare of Correction has succeeded in giving a peculiar interest to his annual reports, by his great care in investigating and classifying the causes of crime. This care, ther with the peculiar interest attached te t ra observation of a district so full of manu facturing life, attracts more than common atten- • tion to these annual reports. That before us contains matter of grave interest and of congratulation. Crime is evidently on the decrease in that part of Lan cashire consisting of the hundreds of Amounderness, Blackburn, Leyland, and Lonsdale. Similar im provement is visible throughout the entire county; but we at present confine ourselves to the particular text of the document before us. The indictments at the Preston sessions, and the summary commitments in the above hundreds for the years 1843 to 1847 in clusive (the criminal year ending June 30th), were as follows: 1843, 2,050; 1844, 1,549; 1845, 1,183; 1846, 1,105; 1847, 1,144. The rapidity of the improvement is very striking. The slight increase in the last over the immediately proceeding years is neither very remark able nor important. Such minor fluctuations in the tides of crime may always be expected, arising from local or special causes. In this instance, the causes have been but too well known, namely, the depression of trade and the sanity of work. In 184.5 and 1846 trade was prosperous, employment abundant. From the middle of 1846 the operatives of Lancashire have been severely tried, but they have borne their priva tions on the whole with a dignity and patience which arc truly commendable : the reverend gentleman bears ample testimony to this remark, and offers a well-merited tribute of respect to their ' calm fortitude under sufferings which have been little less severe than those of many who have trum peted their calamities and clamoured for relief most noisily. One of the most curious and important results of the analysis of the tables given in this report, and one which indicates how much an ample scheme of national education would do for the pre rent ion of offences against the law, is the fact, that, although the want of employment was the remote cause of the increase of crime, the immediate cause was not the distress, but the idleness, conse quent upon it. Persons accustomed to a life of activity, when suddenly cut off from their cus tomary avocations, are thrown upon their own resources to kill the time—and, if uneducated, unahle---_., to find occupation sad snamment in tb , forced, by thevery = b and craving forldt.. • At ,: merit which is so an attribute it. • .
