As to free trade, that is mese talk--everyone calls 'ninteelf a tee-trader. As to retreashmest, that, too, is easy. A ministry has bet to propose the increase of some millions in the estimates, and then sactifioe the greats: pact of this increase to the murmurs of the house, making in reality no redaction, but assuming both for themselves and the parliament the credit of an economy which is really bate Flan of extravagance that has failed. Mr. Ftrzwitutu's crate ea a reformer is even mote difficult to _get at. The worthy but easy libe rals, who met at Nonmetals , agreed to put the reform pledge to Mr. Frrxwitutu in the mildest possible ' shape. In fact the spirit of reform could not be more copiously diluted. He was flaked simply to declare himself for extension of the suffrage. And to this he might have replied in the affirmative, if he even went no farther than Lord Joins Ruissext, who proposed divers petty, little, and ingenious extensions. But no ; Mr. FITZWILLIAM would not even swallow reform thus diluted. He was afraid of displeasing his tory supporters by even the innocent and un meaning pledge that would have satisfied Mr. BAINLS. He makes a wry face, fears that it might commit him too far, and that the Normanton public might contem plate changes too radical for him ; and he literally backs from any extension of the suffrage. Lord Firzwiwat was considerably more than a whig. In the inverse proportion of the progress of the age, Mr. FITZWILLIAM is something considerebly less than a y. tor We gave en opinion at the first that Mr. Frrz- WILLIAM Ought to be tolerated sod supported out of respect to the political opinions of his family. We are sorry he has not shown himself more worthy of that confidence. But it only corroborates the general sentiment that it is from businesslike people and classes that politicians can be obtained to do honestly, straightforwardly, and effectually, the task of re trenchment. Without further electoral reform, indeed, the middle classes will sever have a party of their own in parliament, and consequently never a direct influence upon legislative or political influence. But we are also well aware that we cannot drive this into people's heads by argument or demonstration. The light must break upon them from experience. And the consolation for the delay is, that when light does come in this way, it comes irresistibly. We have no doubt, however, that the progress of opinion will advance precisely in the same way and with the same effect throughout the boroughs and counties of England, as it has done at Liverpool. Hitherto Liverpool was, as we all know, the most aristocraii: of cities. No candidate for its Represen tation was ever looked at, unless he was a lord or a placeman. There was no safety for the county or its trade, =cording to the Liverpool doctrine, except in the political prevalence or monopoly of the aristocracy. The same doctrines which procured re turns to parliament, also influenced municipal choice. The town council was as aristocratic in its way, as the greater election. A tradesman was as unworthy of the one, as a commoner of tie of her. A ch ange has now come over the spirit of Liver pool's dream. The election for the municipal council has just taken place, and the result has been a t0t..l revolutioo. The old members, who pretended to mono polise fitness and capacity, have been got rid of. And not only have municipal reform and retrenchment, and equal taxa' ion,carried the day, but tradesmen have been voted into the council to see the principles, dear and vital to their clam, curie' into effect. Who will say, after this, that Lancashire at least is not in the way of progression ? The notable change in the aristocratic capital of commerce is not to be attributed to the influence of any doctrines, of any effervescence from the continent, of revolutionary or communistic theories. The over throw proceeded from the prodigality of the old rating corporatienists. On a comparison between the local expenses of the aristocrat:catty governed Liver pool and the democratically administered Manchester, the expenses of the former were immeasurably and soaocountably . greater. The Mane/weer Guardian published a minute comparison of both, and thereby in deed gave no slight blow to the Liverpool system. There, in addition to the expense, every art, subter fuge, and theory was employed to throw the burthen of the local taxation a property, and to place it upon trade and earning. In fact, the same abuses and the same struggle against them whinh are going on in the country, were at the same time taking place with mire concentrated force at LirrpooL The result in that town has been, that the citizen' were obliged to get rid of the system in order to get rid of its abuses ; to change not only the local repre sentation, bat even the clans from which it was chosen, ere they could get at the root of the evil. We are confident that the country at large mast imitate Liverpool, ere it can arrive at anything like fair hopes and a fair system of economy. The country, however, will require some more time ere it arrives, by the natural force and progress of things, at that inevitable conclusion. IT is stated that a communication his taken place between the authorities at the Horse-guards and the trusts/A of Kinies-colleirn with the view of adtt'nfr to that institution a department for military education. We bail the announcement with pleasure; and we --rated trust that no modes hositadon—no antiqt—an scruples ae pometilioe—on the part of the authorities at the liesse-tuards, will prevent a satisfactory arrange sheet from being made. The trustees of Bine,- I wasp deserve the highest credit for I=l token the initiative in a reform so urgently needed. Se far are we from lamenting with the Atlas that a Imp periodical should have been foremost to suggest Nth miessuive, and a tory institution the first to seam them, that we rejoice, on the contraV en ofind seek a spirit at work msuch a quarter. we remember how greatly the obstructive dispositions of maimed party have impeded the and i the utility of other reforms of the highest importance to the public weal, we cannot help looking on it at a subject for the warmest eougratdation that the Name abstractive disposition does not exist in the present instance ; or, at least, that the public mind has become so thoroughly awake to the necessity of immediate reform, that its ablest advocates in theory, and its most energetic furtherers in practice, are to be found in the itake of that ultra party from which opposition woo mot to be feared. It ii a circumstance of the happiest omen for the noble but arduous end that is to be attained. It will save a world of wrangling in the first place, and, better than that, whole yeses of time which would have been lost in the attempt to concede the shadow of reform without its substance. It stops the mouths of all gainsayers and grumblers—ofilosrs of the old school, and dunces (Dire expectant) of the new school, and othatry ' patkmen of no school at aIL A reform that the Quarterly has advocated with seek manly sines and frankness—that Klag'. College has expressed its de sire to aid with all the resources at its command, and which in a few days we trust to hear that the Com mander-in-Chief boa honoured with his approval, may bid defiance to all the opposition that dunces, old or or the still more unhappy fathers of dunces, can bri g to beer ageinst. What wean now chiefly solicitous fair *that the Com mander-in-chief and the filecairraiv-Nr-Wia should give sufficient enocraragessent to the feeling, of which we trust that the wise and timely offer of King's College will not be a solitary instance. The military authorities of the country have much in their power. More is lett to their discretion than in perhaps say other department of the public service. In fact, so far as the education of the lasses is ma maid, it is our impression that all the inset anemeary reforms could be carried oat without askiag atr wah is( far a mingle act of parliament, eel widest adding the penny to Aber the army or aroma estimates.

Apy a t ppaa i titlll that may be , gequired before ream tbs exandnation he appoiatment to a com minion' might be imparted in a gory brief resi dence at Woolwich, Chatham, Or Bendhurst; a rew ebonite, not difficult to introduce, being ads in the areellifemente in those establisimmute. The elelabeder the officer's educatioe i and this is the most important point of all, should be carried on altar hit oppwsitesent to his commission : we do not mean the few months drill which the subaltern andel',/,' at pessisat, but a regular course of education to the higher branches of his profession, tested by examine tioes before risk' to the grade of lieutenant and cap tain, and terminated only by promotion to the latter rank. Why should the officer's education be consi dered to terminate as it does at present, shortly after his entering the profession, and at a time of life when the mental facultiesare still in processor development? The real studies and the real progress of a lawyer or clergyman who means to have a creditable know ledge of his profession, only commence after his en trance on the active duties of his profession; and the foremost men in both professions keep laboriously adding to their acquirements for the greater part of their lives. Officers in the army have neither the same stimulus in interest or ambition ; nor have they the opportunities of constant practice which civil professions supply. It is necessary, therefore, to provide in an artificial way fur the completion of their education ; or, to express ourselves with more accuracy, for the pursuit °fillet self-education, which is bothths object of and the indispensable supplement to that mere technical initiation which is all that school or college, up to the age when young men pr.erally obtain commissions, can be expected to provide. The opportunities for such studies either exist, or may. with very little trouble or expense. be added to the staff of every regiment. Even were there any deficiency in such respects, young officers find plenty of money for less worthy objects; and so they would fur this, if it were made a matter of any mesemt to them. So that, we repeat, all that is wanted am a few words from the Horse Guards: first, giving a cordial sanction to such offers as that of King's College ; and, 81.401(11y, declaring that on and after (may) the Ist of January 1850, no commission shall be given, by purchase or otherwise, to any candidate who has not passed one or more pre scribed examinations :—to be followed. subsequently, by another general order, providing that no officer shall rise from the grade of ensign to that of lieu tenant, or from that of lieutenant to that of captain, without passing a strict examivation, tested practi cally, as well as theoretically, before aboard appointed foe that especial purpose, and free from all local or personal interests. Let these things be done—and a stroke of the pen from the Commander-in-Chief would do them—and all that is essential in the improve• meet of officers' education will follow of its own ac cord, and develop i self with unwonted speed and spontaneity. It should be kep' in mind that all these improvements might be effected without trenching on or meddling with those more thorny and difficult questions which are involved in the present system of the sale of co nmissionv and the paucity of promo time from the ranks. feet these questions stand over until the new system of education has been tried on both officers and privates, and until public opinion upon the subject of promotion hay undergone a de cided change. Meantime let commissions be pur chased, exchanged, and sold as they are at present, the simple condition being added that, in addition to lodging the price of his commission, the purchaser shall also lodge testimonials of his having passed the exam:nations requisite for the grade to which he aspires. Should a favourable answer to the application of the trustees of King's College be returned from the Hone Guards, we hope to see the authorities of Eton, Harrow, Westminster, Shrewsbury, Rugby, &c., coming forward with a similar request. Such a step on the part of those establishments would be a death-blow to the detestable cramming schools in which the cadets at Woolwich acquired the habits which became so notorious a year or two ago. It would familiarise the rising generation of the aristocracy with new ideas, both as to the import ance and the attractive nature of military studies. For many a boy, to whom Greek and Latin are constitu tionally an abhorrence, would find himself quite at home in the pursuit of many of the acquirements and accomplishments most essential to the young officer. Nor should we think it by any means to be regretted tbst young men, not specially intended for the army, should either at school, or subsequently at the Uni versity, devote some of their leisure hours to military studies. It is a desirable addition to the education of every gentleman. We contemplate, of course, that Oxford and Cambridge should afford certain fa cilities for continuing the military studies commenced at Harrow or Etoe. But this is, on the whole, a question of much len importance than the adhesion of the latter to the exairple set them by King's College. 'wires Ws have countless apologies to make to the " spe cial patron', president and ladies president, vice presidents and Mies vice, treasurers, trustee*, house stewards, auditors, committees," and we know not whom besides, of the " Royal Asylum of the St. Anne's Society." Those officers we have not enume rated must excuse us. To recount them all would be mare breath-exhausting than a visit to the Ordnance officers at the top of St. Paul's, on a day when the atmosphere was dense and muggy. We should like to have offered apologies specially to each; but the task would be interminable. To count the bricks in London would be a trifle to it. We must be oontent with selecting one or two to receive our regrets tor each class. Will " his most gracious Majesty, the King of the BELGIANS," who all patron takes so active a part in the superintendence of the little boys' dinners, deign to convey to all the other potentates of Europe, who are his colleagues at St. Anne's, what we desire and wish to lay ? Will " his highneee the Puha of EGYPT," who not long since sent his goo, Inanntx, to this country, particularly to attend a committee meet lag of the society on his behalf, do us the favour to intercede for us in the East? Will " his royal highness EL CONDE DE MONTENOLIN," who, we observe, is described as " an honorary life," represent oar desires to the rest of the European Princes at present down upon their luck, who are, consequently, numbered cal y as " governors" and not as " especial patrons " of the institution.. Maysre hope that " MOHUN LAL MIIIZA," who has a vote, will give as the benefit of his good offices in the presidencies of India ? All these oak." of the institution are known to take so active a part in its affairs, that we do not hesitate to address each of them, together with the two archbishops and the episcopal bench, and Sir Pa= Lassie and the Prince of Wets', every one of whom appears to be happily eligible for the visiting rota of the committee of management for the year 1849. The subject of our regrets is this. We have done the society in calling it an " orphan asylum" a very great injustice. We thought it was an asylum for poor orphan children. The managers repudiate so unkind and illiberal a description. Ps&er ! they have not come to that yet. An " orphan society," in deed! They would have you to know that the Roysl Asylum of the St. Anne's Society, (patronised, like BUS. JABLET'S wax work, by the crowned heads in Europe) is for the maintaining, cloth ing, and educating the children of those once in prosperity, ORPHANS or NOT, from every nation.' They don't are about orphans, not a bit It is ne consequence to them how many fathers or mothers a child may have. The more the better. Their gym pathies are far too widespread to be limited fa then way. Any children, " osza•ins or NOT" (the on preferred upon the whole as more rurally rodeo tive), will do for them . Nor do they limit tbgves to " British orphans or not." The son of the Reaps roe of CHINA'S dissimed prime minister, or ADD-Ole BADER'S eldest daughter, would both have =anent claims upon them as &tide= of those "once in pros- perity," and now, comparatively eakift, " used up." Saab are the wide-spread irrincis upon which this institution, the pride of the nobility and gentry," like the mart of Mmes. Mons, rears its vast and doubly imposing front Well, we thoughtit was an orphan asylum. and called it so! What • mistake, to be sure ! It was in the presence of " Mrs. Plumper", an an nual subscriber of a guinea, that one of the house steward., auditors, or managers—we don't know which—celled our especial attention to this shocking error. We invoked "Mrs. Plumper" to shield menses his wrath. "Now, my dear .1 1 01 rs. Plumper,' we appeal to you. On Sudsy it is three weeks when we Ore Ot year pews at the Episcopal (lapel, and when i the dee? • Dr. Smooth' pecache.4 for the asylum= , did he 4* especially dwell un the, pitiable .condition of mph's& e'—was not hie text from that beautiful pie in which 'the Widow's Mart' L described ' to sing for joy ?'—and *us not that delightful hymn learnt by the children for the occasion, fall of beauti ful references, too? Father's dud &ad nother's buried ; Bee and bless you from above." " Mrs. Plumper" acknowledged that it was so. " Very likely, ma'am, very likely indeed." said Ouineavote,' " nothing more likely. And I dare say some of their fathers were dead and their mothers 1)1'6(41; but I tell you we are not an orphan asylum for all that. We are open to ALL of every nation—lVEßT nation — ORPHANS or NOT." We find that it certainly is so. There is no doubt about it %hetever. We have carefully gone through the list of the children in the asylum, and in the day school connected therewith, and of which we may have to say something another time. The circum stances of each child in these schools, "as they were when ovanitted," are in the said list carefully recorded. It is distinctly explained whether they were "ORPHANS or NOT." And we find that out of 288 of them 143 were NOT, and three or four are doubtful. In running our eye over the list of those who were NOT," it struck us to examine what were the pecu liar claims of this class—whet were the distressing circumstances that could have indwed e preference in their favour er er the claims of the fatherless and motherless, or of the poor stricken widow pleading for on" of a numerous and tender-aged family. Some of the " claims " are certainly curious. The first case on the list is described thiLll Peri nts of highly respectable emmesions ; have lost firs children, and unable to give due cars to the surviving two. One would have thought the stronger cam would have been, had the entire , even children survived. We have heard of agricultural societies that gave a pre mium to the labourer who n ared in respectability the I most numerous family ; but the St. Anne's Society's principle would seem to be to give the advantage to those who low the tirgest number. Talk of burial clubs—what is this? But we go to the next case. The claim here is thus given : Father a grocer. Well, and a very respectable and lucrative trade, too. The next ruse thus: Father was a brewer; now in Canada with six children. Most probably very much improved in position by being there, and, having six children with him, the seventh might very fairly, we should have thought, have been supported by its friends at home without being tacked upon a charity. Tre next case is this : Father was an hotel keeper, but failed. His addreu is Railway Station, London•bridge. Well, a thousand hotel keepers have failed, and very few of them have been so lucky as to get ap pointments from railway directors. Here a man, not succeeding in one line of business, gets an office of another sort, and this is considered a claim ! If he had died instead of failed, the claim, upon the St. At ne's principle, would not have been half so great. Now we have rot selected these cases. They are absolutely the first four upon the list of children, NOT orphans, in this :ilium. Of course we cannot go through that list of the whole 143: if we could, we should show that the majority of cases were ve , y little stronger. But we must be content with taking a few specimens. One of the next children named is *sister to a boy now in the school" That is her claim. And turning to the .ccount of the boy, we find that he was houyht in at a cost of a hundred guineas: evidently showing that his friends bad means. The very next name is one that we recognise as among the very best in one of the largest wholesale businesses near Charing Cross: a name as familiar to all men as the names of DAT and MARTIN. The claim here is stated: Father unfortunate is business. He must, we suppose, have " made losses," as the term goes, the month before the election. The next case is thus presented : Father (uncle to the African traveller) wee a lieur..colonel R M., ; served 38 years; now in his 73rd year; reduced by distr‘ wing circumstances to poverty, but much esteemed. Whether it was the relationship to the African traveller, or the lieut.-colouelship in the Marines, or the distressing circumstances that constituted the claim here, we leave others to decide; but is this a case to put beside that of the destitute orphan or fatherless? and this lieut.-colonel has interest enough to obtain the election of two of his children ! The army seem favoured by St. Anne. Here are three other eases: 1. Father an artist: grandfather an officer in the army. L. No mother: grandfather was a general in the army. 3. Father a retired officer in the army. With the exception of the two last, all the above cases are cases of children who have been elected by the votes of the committee and subscribers. We do not hesitate to express our regret that in the face of such cases we should have described the St. Anne's Society by the very erroneous title of an " Orphan Asylum." It clearly is nothing of the kind. It is a place of shelter (not a school, we (onset concede that) for the children of persons of respectable position, who have money and influence enough to get them in. Whether or not the institution goes to the public for donations, contributions, and subscriptions', upon proper pretences, is another question, but that it is nest an orphan society is very clear. In fact, the higher your standing the better, apparently, your chance of success. The report of the present year is somewhat interesting for its pedigrees. Mr. BURKE, of heraldic reputation, might consult it with advan tage. The children frequently appear to come to the asylum, as applicants for admission into the French army used to go to the French Xing, with the roll d their ancestry In their hands open for examination. They go down to Brixton as a Welshman goes abroad, with their pedigrees in their pockets. We are told of one young genn, that He is the lineal deeteadant of Sir Ralph Sadie's, the last knight bannerat and privy councillor of three English mar reigns, and that his archer a:so is of good family. We wonder if the tax collector of the parish has ever looked after the armorial bearing* of this esta blishment! Their use among the boys is no doubt sufficiently 'sterol A pole-oat proper or a weasel asleep probaNy decorate the interesting communica tions of half these young gentlemen to their epsuletted Mow An " Orphan Anima! • We do indeed retract! ROME, Ocr. 26. The war party here has, of course, made the most of events at Vienna. Happily Rossi had just entered into arrangements for the hire of two thousand addi tional Swiss mercenaries (the only sort of troops Otto cope with the invent sof the Cravatte) ; and, as the war fever is at full h. ight in Tuscany, we too are on th e a lert, and keep our powder dry. By way of a sham-fight, our city yesterday we minted the spectacle of miniature warfare, with a small siege. The Jews in the Ghetto having ill treated some civic guards from the other side of the Mir the Trastevertni roes en maws and beleaguered du Israelite settlement with hostile shouts and cries et vengeance. Thu assailed, the sons of Jacob, cloa oftheir shops, showered from their windows all sorts obnoxious materials on the invaders, and gave them a rather warm reception. Several /ewe were killed, and a peat number of Trasteverini badly wounded, skulls !Vectored, and limbs scalded with hot it. The dragoons and carabineere had to interfere, and they now guard the entrances, and patrol such of the passages of the Ghetto as admit of cavalry. A curious question of jurisprudence has been set at rest here just now ; and as it may bear on the right f railroad directors to close their concern on Sundays (for we have learnt here with disgust the conduct pur sued in Scotland toward the Duchess of timberland), I briefly give it. Torlonia is owner of the two theatres the Apollo and the Argentina. He objects for some reason or other to open the latter, which is the leading house for ogees in Rome. The municipality • insists en -its being handed over to an impresario on the usual terms. The banker do arm' and his lawyer quotes the pandects of Justi nian and other learned authorities on the right to do as one likes with one's own property. But the tribu nal here has drawn a pointed distinction between public establishments belonging to private i n di v iduals and property not so circumstanced. It is ruled that private parties become possessed of such establish ments subject to the strict right of anuses in the pub lic, against whom the doors cannot be closed ; foes such as the exigence of these theatres has precluded the erection of others, and it would be monstrous to say that Rome should depend on the caprice of Toe lonia tar the enjoyment of its centrum This week will see the end of the " Irish Colleges " litigation. I augur thertanent an equally sensible and liberal decision. Yon ought to have in London a Human monsignor just now, u one left here on the 14th inst. with despatches for Lord l'almerston from Count Rossi.

THE PALMS DU LUXEMBOURG hag become the central point of all the military operations for the defence of the left bank of the Seine. The ground-110,r of the palace. comprising the immense corridors leading to the new stale, is oceupird by a battalion of the line. The furnished apart ments at liberty hare been set apart for the officers of the rigiment which occupies the temporary barracks in the ger den. These officers, about 50 in number, can thus receive at any hour the orders of 0 1 Banboul, centmanding the brigade. The general, in a few days, will take possession of his head-quarter., and occupy the apartments in the pa. ace set apart for the members of the executive government. The erection of the temporary barracks of La Pepihiare and the Carrefour de l'Oheervateire is nearly finished. The troop, which occupied the Orangery are to take orsoeuion of the new quarters.

Fifteen years ago Sart arias, the minister of the interior, was a poor sopiaa (slur) in the University of Salamanca, and, iu 1840, accepted with gratitude the situation of a copyist in the effices of &newspaper entitled the Correo Nacional, for which drud gery he received two franca a day. His equipages and gene ral etyle of living now are wortl.y of a prince, and it is noto rious that he throws away thousands upon his numerous mistresses, which, however, does not pmvent him from in vesting large sums from time to time in foreign stock. In 1842, Mon, minister of finance, was not worth 1001. a year, and was celebrated amoarst his acquaintance for his "shock ing bad hat." He is now possessed of a fortune estimated at 400,0001., and has recently presented his illegitimate children with wales worth 10,0001. AMEItICA.—A TEMPERANCE Tow/Y.—The New York Sun states .hatlastspring a few individuals proposed pur. chasing • tract of about 30 acres of land on the hue of the Harlem railroad, within convenient time and distance of that city. Their object was to divide the land into about one acre lots, erect dwellings, and make it their future home, and thus amble their families to enjoy the free open air of the country, removed from the vices and allurements of a great city, and still attend to their usual business avocations. ' As soon en this movement became known among the work shops, the number speedily increased to over 200, the result of which has been the purchase of a tract of 200 acres of land front G. Moms. Esq., of Morrisania, which has been laid out into streets and avenues, and on account of the large number of applicants, into quarter, half, and one sere lots. The purchasers formed an emaciation in taking their lots, stipulating that no ardent spit itsshould be bought, sold, or drunk on their respective premises, and that witein three years they would erect dwellings of riot less than three hundred dollars value upon them. Arrangements have been made with the Harlem Railroad to go into op - tration next spring for running an early and • late train expressly for the accommodation of this village, and already the work of turn piece, five or six miles of streets and 11•0111.101, and the build ing of houses have been emaissood.

NEW SOUTH WALES.—We have received parrs from this colony by mail, but they add nothing to the intelligence transmitted by our Singapore correspondent In the Sydney papers we fun d the following horrifying nar rative of the crime, trial, and executon of William Fife: "The trial of the amused emupied two days. The unfor tunate person murdered was an Englishman, named Cox, possessing a small independence a short distance up the country. known as Kangaroo-point, and the prisoner, named William Fife, acted in the capacity of storekeeper and waiter at the Bush Commercial Hotel, belonging to Mr. Sutton. On the 25th of the preceding month the deceased, who was a man of somewhat intemperate habits, entered the hotel in question, and in the course of the evening he accused the prisoner of picking his pocket while asle•p, whether justly or otherwise does cot appear. The charge led to much angry feeling between them. The deceased determined to sleep there that night, being slightly inebriated, and between nine and ten left to go to his bed-room, which was in a des tacked building from the hotel. At a later hour at night the landlord went over the premises, as was his custom before retiring to rest, and was surprised at finding Cox lying ap parently asleep in the kitchen, wrapped closely up with some quilts, and the prisoner assuming to tuck him up.' It after wards turned out that he had murdered him a few minutes before, by plunging a large knife into his heart. Two or three hours after the master had retired to bed, the prisoner knocked him up, raying that Cox (the deceased) had got up and left the house, by elimbins over the yard-tens. During the remainder of the night and the following morning he was heard at work, and very busily sweeping the yard and the back part of the house. Not much notice was taken of the deceased's disappearance for two days afterwards, when the greatest excitement arose by the discovery of a human body in the river, shockingly mutilated. A boatman, it ap peal, was rowing past Kangaroo-point, when he observed the lower part of the trunk end legs of a body, with a portion of the intestines attached, lying on the mud, and, within a kw yards of these remains, found the upper portion of a body and arms, with other portions of the intestines attached, but wanting a head. They had apparently been thrown into the river, over the hanks, at high-water, and had been washed down to the place described, where they had been left by the tide. Upon placing the parts of the body tope. they, they appeared to belong to the same individual. The deceased still being missing, it was supposed the remains were his, which led the police authorities to proceed to the hotel, where he was last seen alive, and examine the pre mises. They bad not cemmeered their search many minutes ere sufficient proof came to light showing some foul eked had been perpetrated in the kitchen. Underneath the floor ing was found a shirt shown to be the priaoner's, sad a chest clotted with blood, and, in a well adjoining, a whitsrhamnal carving -knife, 'mired with blood, while the water in the well was also tinged with it, some linen having evidently been rinsed in it. There were marks and clots of blood dis emered outside the house, and by the yard-fence, as if t h e body had been lifted over it, the ground on the other side being saddened with blood. The constables then searched a field adjoining the hotel, where some long grass grew, and some distance from the house a human head was found. The prisoner, who was attending to the people in the hotel, was tailed to the spot to ascertain if he could recognise it, which he did immediately, by saying it was Cox's head. He was then taken into custody, as also was his master (Mr. Button) and five other persons. The latter however were discharged some few days afterwards, the charge of murder having been clearly substantiated spinet the prisoner. His clothes when arrested were found spotted with blood. The demand's clothes had been burnt in the fireplace in his bed-room, the buttons of them having been discovered among the burned ashes. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentence of death was passed upon hint, which was carried into effect on the 7th of July. The night helms the culprit's execution he made a full confession of his guilt" TREATY BETWEEN ENGLAND AND LIBERIA.—Lord Palmerston has jut concluded a treaty of peace and alliance with the president of Liberia, who is now in London.

An injunction was granted on:this application, but it lied been since discovered that; a person named Jasper Tonle% Judge, and his son, Jasper A. T. Judge, of Wieder, were connected with the intended publication, and they having been made defendants to the suits, by amender:o, the present motion was made to extend the inonetite to them. In support of. the application, Mr. John Burgin Brows, of Windsor, printer. deposed that be was entrusted by ka Majesty and the Prince with the printing of it:uremia'. from the etchings in question, and always faithfully retuned to the palace all the p.rfect impressions which were made; that he employed in the work a pressman. whom he bad el• ways trusted as a confidential servant, but was, nevertheless, careful as to the quantity of print piper which he gave sett, and in seeing that it was all returned.—A printer, and Whittington, who worked for Mr. Brown, deposed that the pressman alluded to by the latter, habitually took off in. pressions of the etchings for himself on card or comma paper, and that the deponent had himself about 13 of those Impressions which the pressman had given him, but that ths deponent had not allowed any one to see them except bigwig. Re had met the defendant Jasper Tomsett Judge in the street, who &existed him in such a manner as evidently showed he knew that the deponent had some of the prints, and the defendant Judge said he could make it worth the deponeat's while, if the deponent wished to dispose of them; but the deponent declined the offer, and did not even let the defendant Judge see what he had got. • A gentleman named John Farrow Lawrence, of Albert ternee. Windsor, also deposed that he knew the defendant Jasper Tomsett Judge ; that he recollected hearing a rumour four or five months ago that the said Jasper Tomsett Judge had a collection of prints and etchings made by her Majesty and Prince Albert ; and he afterwards net the said Jasper Tomsett Judge, and he said to him he understood he had some drawings of the Queen's and the Prince's, to which the said Jasper T. msett Judge replied, " Oh, you are quite we!. come to see them ;" and that about a month after such eon. version he called at the house of the defendant Judge, and who then produced to him a port:olio with about 80 prints in it, and told him that they had been engraved by the Prince and Queen, and that he observed the names of the Queen and Prince Albert on them, and he noticed that on some of them the signatures or names appeared re. versed. The Vice Chancellor asked if there was evidence of u intention to publish? The Solicitor General read the affidavits, and also said the same undertaking would be entered into as was entered's* before. The Vice-Chancellor: Then let the injunction be extended to these defendants.
