Bat unfortunately the same night mail beam to the Based similar applications for advise eta aid from too many other places, which simaltmeemeoly are found in similar plight ; and the authadthe or Owydyr Hoses have before them in the soaralai a series of demands for relaxation of the aviary ralee of relief that the out thoughtless aai sanguine advocate of liberality in the way of expenditure most own to be fraught with commensal; the most grave. Admitting fully the duty and policy of endeavouring to alleviate to the utmost the cruel privation of work that has an expectedly fallen upon thousands who, while they had labour and labour's recompense, never dreamed of asking help hoot any quarter for the support of themselves and their families; the fearful question again and again means—what can be door that is not asetain to aggravate rather than to mitigate the evil ? Indiscriminate relief we know is utterly im practicable, and how or where to draw any definite or intelligible line by law, or (what is the same thing) by the temporary interpretation or adaptation of the existing law, nobody seems capable of showing. We esa fully appreciate the motives which may actuate the Poor Law Commission in declining to accept the undivided responsibility thus thrown upon them. There was a time, perhaps, when they would have vain-gloriously done so, and exalted in the unpopularity their inflexible devotion to abstract theory would have evoked. But the fashion of administrative Quixotism has gone by, in this country, we hope, for ever. Men at the heads of Departments have learnt the wisdom of yielding to the gusts and eddies of opinion that they may pre serve their legal rigging sate for use when the storm is over, The paransociat duty of Government in moments of industrial or political perturbation is to maintain public tranquillity and good order : the next is, to satisfy all honest and welt-disposed people that it is not thinking of its own mere consistency or convenience, bat that it broadly and compre hensively sympathises with the actual afflic tion of the hour, and is earnestly desirous of contributing to its relief. We are willing to be lieve that the Poor Law Board is ready to act in this spirit. Instead of slamming the door of hope in the face of a hungry people they will, we trait, consent to share manfully with the local Boards the laborious task of discriminating as best they may between classes of oases where relief may temporarily be given and those in which from absolute necessity it most still be withheld. It will not do to say recklanly— one Life is es well worth preserving as another, and, if you do for one, you ought to do for all. In a wreck at sea all conventional rights are levelled ; yet the women sod children are first got into the boats, and the strong men are leg to swim - it as they may. In the wreck of industry the able-bodied must always be called upon to ADA ' themselves—not absolutely or entirely, )at degree that the weaker portions of the community cannot he expected to do. We point to the distinction rather for the purpose of illustration than with any thought of definition. But our earnest desire is to lead men to consider that, after all, a moderate degree of cautious expansion is the utmost relief which the machlosry sad resources of an established Poor Law system can sifted ; and that any reel attempt to make it do the work of an indiscriminate famine-kitchen must certainly aid speedily end in disastrous tailors. A great deal may and must be done during the pre sent winter by employers, and by wealthy individuals in co-operation with them (or without them, if sad need be), to save the unemployed from falling into despondency, destitution, or crime. Every head of a family who, by private aid timely rendered, whe ther in the shape of gift or loan, is kept from thinking of going on the Rates, is a hostage withheld from the great enemy of industry—the enemy we have more real cause to dread than all the residue of the world in arms. The occasion is one which may be turned to the best of purposes if those amongst us who have most to loos be wise. Freely, voluntarily, unostentatiously, and on-condescendingly the wealthier classes may pull many a man through the pinch and penury of the present season, and restore him after a brief space to the loom, the workshop, or the stithy, with kindlier feelings probably than he ever had before towards those around him. Others will bravely sustain un helped the siege of want ; and remember hereafter with noble pride how silently they bore up under privation. Some, more impatient than their brethren, will cut their way out of the beleaguering mass of misery, and get' them to newer mod more genial lands. But our counsel to both rich and poor will ever be—promptly and before little stocks and saving are exhausted, to set about making agimtaneously exceptional provision for exceptional wants, and to rely for extra meow as little as pos sible ea the Poor Rates. Taz Court of Queen's Beach was yesterday mowed to renounce judgment against a delinquent mmisteate, ander circumstances which, in this age and caustry, may be pronounced absolutely unheard of The bets lie in a natahelL The defendant, Yr. BV.L T a person of wmaiderable property, ands Justice of the Peace for the county of Durban, had two we brought Ware him by a policeman, *harped with the destruction of a rabbit on his own property. Instead of at once declining to act in the matter, Mr. BELOIT con victed the defendants in a severe penalty, ordered them la default of immediate payment to be hand gelid and sent to prison, and finally compromised the matter by liberating them on payment of 11. ash, whit, instead of handing over to the county find, he pat Into his own pocket. For this scan _ daises misconduct the Arra•ZY-010111AL very pro peel, awed a criminal inkemation to be sled against BILLAWIT. charging him with extortion and sunup• ties if the exercise of his magisterial functions. The emes was tried at the last Assizes for the erenty if Durham, the evidence was perfectly con cludes, sad the jury loud that the defendant wee guilty of taking money corruptly under colour of his elks. Nothing was—nothing, indeed, could be —urged In mitigation ; and Mr. Justice COI.IEIIOOI, after setting forth with grave severity the singular enormity of the offence, and justly dwelling upon the fact that the ease was entirely divested of anything that could by possibility be relied upon as an ex . Mutating eirenmetence, sentenced the offender to am et 2001., and to a year's imprisonment in the QOM'S Prison. We began by speaking of this as an unheard-of sass, and so it is. Our unpaid magistracy are too frequently chargeable with ignorance, heats, and en smfair leaning against certain classes of small demo dators. la game-preserving district+. no peewit tainted with the suspicion of poaching has the slightest Asses with them. It is notorious that leaded mid doable-bewailed men, however esti mable end sane ea other points, are apt to nn positively wild on this. They lite gully moot be brought to understand that the fine and imprisonment of a villager who has wired a hare or bagged a pheasant, is a penalty in the slightest degree disproportionate to the nature of duodena.. A punishment which sends the poacher's foully to the poor-boom, and animates the man himself with a spirit of tines hatred or sullen discontent, alike dangerous to others and ruinous to himself, is too often complacently re garded by worthy, orthodox, chinch-going men, u a sort d natural and necessary dispensation as muc► in the providential order of things as the family worship before breakfast, or the port wine after dinner. All this is true and lamentable enough; bat it is not true, and for generations has not been true, that anything like corruption or extortion is practically known amongst the unpaid magistracy of England. In fact, the very intensity of the sur poise ocaisioned by such a cars u this of Mr. Bah- LANET'S affords a fair measure of the isolated and entirely exceptional nature of his delinquency. r Astonishment is the first feeling produced on the mind of an Englishman when he hears of such a I charge ; the next is a sentiment of deep and stern in dignation that any English magistrate should, in thee, • times, bare been found who could so far prortitote I the dignity of justice and degrade the character of hie suntry. The judgment of Mr. Justice Cohz- RIDI3II and the sentence of the Court of Queen's Bench gin admirable expression to both these feel ings it is weU for the world to know that the high tribunal to which is more particularly committed the charge of vegetating the proceedings of all local and inferior jurisdictions throughout the yea* will not, when the occasion requires it, evade the painful but neeemary task of visiting, by adequate retribution, the grave misdemeanours of the subordinate magi 'Macy. There is one other point suggested by this case on which it is almcet impossible to forbear comment, Suppose the delinquent magistrate, instead of patting the guinea into his pocket by the threat of fins ne imprisonment, had imposed a fine and allowed it to go in the usual course into the county fund,—where would hate been the offence in the eye of the law ? The ease would have perhaps furnished an " indig nation" paragraph or two to the local papers ; it might even have crept into a coiner of the metro politan journals ; but there would have been as end of it. And yet how truly monstrous is the state of the law that renders this possible! By the law BELLANET wee empowered to fine, and in default of payment to commit, these two peasants for killing a rabbit on hie own grease. It was, no doubt, bad Mats to alt in judgment open them under the circumstances, but no one pretends that it was illegal ; indeed, in all garne-prreerring parts of the country the thing, we fear, I. only of too frequent oe . currence.

" co rue IDITUO OP TICS ZIPIII.III. Sig,—We beg to transmit to you the details re ferred to in our letter of the ttad inn. We left Southampton in the Royal Mail Steam Company's steamer Tyne on the 9th Inst., and reached Lisbon on the 14th. There we learned that on the Bth inst. the port had her officielly declared infected," and that on our arrival et Funchal we should have to undergo quarantine. On the evening of the 16th we anchored at Fanchal, delivering mils and pamenger list, Captain Loegden informing the health Gears that be would be ready to land his passenger. at 12o'clock next day. Owing, however, to mach unnecessary sad vexatious delay on the part of the health ofilotr, we did not lend at the Laserato till 6 p.m.; all this extra trouble and fatigue being particularly trying to the 30 Invalids of our pray. We found our term of detention Seed at Attain day.. Oar grievances may be stated under three heads —our illegally prolonged detention, the insufficient accommodation, to., end certain arbitrary end unnecessary restrictions. To understand the first, we need only state that the Central Board of Health at Lisbon is rapreate, all local boards of health being subordinate; that the preadult of each local board is a delegate or commissioner from the Lisbon board ; that all sanitary regulations passed by the local beads require the sanction of the central board before they become law ; that the central board has as yet Bud the maximum of qua rantine at eight days, in wee such as oars, not deeming it necessary to bean= it in the very despatch to the local board brought by no from Lisbon ; and that therefore the unauthorised act of the local board at Funchal con demning us to fifteen days is illegal. This act has, however, been defended, on the ground that extraordinary circumstances justify extraordinary measurer; but we deny that In our case any earsordinery circumetsmis existed. We merely touched at Lisbon—very few landed. We brought no asp from that port to this. Not one of the rare= came from residence ht Lisbon ; not a symptom of liver wee on hoed ; end at the end of the eight days three medical men (our fellow-passengers), who nobly went ' throng* the cholera last year, and who certainly rank highest is this place, seat In a written certificate, In the strongest terms declaring that we were entirely five from any approach to =Meade or emnegiolue diatom. In such a caw surely the mildest quarantine w.. alone required. The truth is, as has been plainly avowed, we have been impel soned—illegally Imprisoned—for seven extra days, u victims to a panic which the medical men and the pram should lave allayed, instead of exciting, or to the apprehension of an out break which the government might not be strong enough to suppress. Next, Insufficient accommodation. With the situation of the Lazaretto no great Wilt can be found, ocasidering the conditions that require to be fallUied, though Dr. Bilis, are of the authorities employed to fannies it, declared It unsuitable from Its want of ventilation, because hemmed in by moue , tains ; and the conduct of the officials within the precise:to bee been most courteous and obliging. At the wane time little bar been done to improve the situation. There is only • level of 60 yards; little or no shade, though fadeg the fell blase of the southern sun, end with but ow scatty opting of impute water. Drainage absolutely nose, and the most sozloui and pestilential odours from various sources. There ere et: detached buildings, one • wooden shed or "lean-to, the roof covered with tine, sloping to the south, and without ventilators, so that when, on account of the invalids, • thorough draught esanot be admitted, the heat hes rhea to 87 deg., though the average heat of this month is 68 deg. This is, moreover, the only room for meals for ourselves end servants, and our only Bitting mom for 63 per ' sou, In the wet weather (such as the autumnal reins we now have) quite intolerable. But this is loamy lentil compared with the sleeping arrangements. In one barrack there are sixteen cabins or dens, 7 feet by 6, end the ceiling so low es to be soircely two feet clear of your head ; each literally con taining but • straw mattress, hard, thin, and =cat, on the bare door, not even a chair, table, drawer, or wash-hand stand. In media building there are three roomy, one with a lady and gentleman end two grown up daughters; the second with six ladle., servant, and child ; In the third, ten gentlemen, separated from each other by wooden partitions, forming a series of stalls worse than horse-boxes; in each e strew bed on the door, and =thin else. Ventilation ls so utterly =provided for that the hat during the night becomes shoat hurupportable: we, of the rooms ere not weather prooL A lady, fend by weererewding to change her quer Ism, bad so alarsodee bet a cellar with unboarded door, =shad wbakow, sal hop, mouldy walls. And these are tbsswagunsebmadby the local board, the sanitary antho ddessi Meshed, dr gad with the preservation of the pub lishes" or. ems/ by the government with full power and rib errs to awry out a perfect plan ! These era the sotemensisdeles afforded by • civilised nation to those who seek Its area for the restoration of shattered health; and to whom they profess to extend their . hospitality," calliag them their" grata I" No one, of course, expects luxury, but ordinary comfort we are entitled to, and it Is disgraceful to charge fully 12a. a-day, of which government has Ss., while condemning ladies end gentlemen, mod of them in valids, to straw beds and to amoremodation worse than that of paupers or aiminala. Lastly, ae to restrictions. If there Is to be quarantine, no one desks the necessity of proper reetrictions. But on our arrival here we found an unprecedented amount of rearaint. We were not allowed to bathe, nor to have sea water for our laths, nor even to walk on the narrow spot of shore at our feet, though within musket shot of the sentries. Our inter course with our friends (though standing on • bridge 40 feet from us) wee restricted to two hours • day for all of us : the first hour (11 to 12) treeless, on account of the heat; the w ooed (4 to 5) newly so, from the crowd end coninsion. In some instances oar families, whom we had not men for months, were rudely driven away by the guard, after but a few minter' converted= ; end In another cue the clerks of an influential raident, our fellow-prisoner, were not per mitted to speak to him, though they had come on business of great imputes= On the evening of the 19th inn. we were deprived of ell drinking water, the barrels containing it being sent away by the guard, and not admitted till nine next morning. In consequence of this, one of our number, a highly-respected clergyman, in the last stage of =Dump lion, and whose death was undoubtedly hastened by all he was made to undergo, would have died asking In vain fur water if • little had not been found in another person's room. Another morning the bread for breakfast was for some time ref med admission; sad, in short, columns might be filled with the petty annoyance, as well se greeter grievances, to which we have been neelkuly exposed. Now, it may be aged, have we appealed to the authorities ? W. lave; and though several of the restrictions hare been removed, the greatest—the want of intercourse with our friends—has received very little modifica tion, so much so that If erring prevents our families from caning at the precise hour no convenstion is permitted. Can snything be more puerile than this ? As if contagion, sup posing it to exist mooed us, could he oraimunicated at as bear sad sat at rather. Ifes, we have repeatedly appealed, esd the vice-stased, Mr. Hayward, acting camel In Mr. fitaideas absence, has lebeured most energetically on our behalf ; but In vain. Meek °Mehl correspondence hie &ilea place, the substance of which Is that the Board of Herth, lathed by the acting dill governor, Is au tesestie, mikes laws irrespective of the central board and of its own home government, end enforces there ca r and others by imprisoning us in the strictest mom under a guard of soldiers. A portion of the "Woks prem., too, (a excesaicely indignant bemuse we warn to pretest against illegal detention and unoalkd-for reelialises, and MORNS us of ridiculous pi ;de, insubordins. tisk Issolasee, dietatice, unreasonable discontent, selfish la- Ildheemee to the paddle health, &c., sad talks so loudly of our gait their hospitality, that anyone in England might limagire we were the guests" of the Portuguese in Oa, lagiblt sense of that word, whereas the plain fact Is we pay end pay well, for all we get, and it is no exaggeration to may that the vieiters here =end manually 40,0001. la the I Wend The hospitality, then, is simply that of the landlord of en hotel, and the Portuguese and English I lliterate In this respect ire merely those of convenience.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE, REDUCTION OF THE AUSTRIAN ARMY. Rumours of this event have been current for some time, and have been contradicted by several Ger _ man papers. A Vienna telegram, of November 18, states that the redaction has been officially sanc tioned, and a Vienna letter of November 15, in the Cologne Gestalt says: "The Emperor ordered the reduction of the army in an autograph letter, dated October 27, addressed to the Archduke William, who is charged with the execution of this important measure. It is certain that all the central diviaiotut of infantry will be sup pressed, and that considerable reductions will be made in the cavalry and artillery. It is not yet known whether the depot battalions will be re duced." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OCR OWN COIIiESPONDENT.) PARIS. ENONADAT EVENING. The Bourse opened very heavily, u the London despatches were not favourable and announced the possibility of a further increase in the rate of dim oonnt ; but another despatch of a more favourable tenor arriving, there was a general rally in all secu rities of this market. Tho Rente, after rising for account to 67fr. 20c., closed at 671 r. 5e., with a fall of 5c., and the market was very unsettled at the close. For cub there was a rise of 5c., the last price being 67fr. be. ; Mobilier fell 2fr. 60c. Rail ways left off higher. Eastern and Western rose 12fr. 50c. each; Northern, 10fr. ; and the other principal lines about bfr.; but the railways, like the Rente, were very much offered daring the last ten minutes. The Freese contradicts a report of a rupture of diplomatic relations between Russia and Persia, and also denies that Ferukh Khan has been appointed Persian Ambassador at Paris, or that any decision has been come to concerning his recall from his present extraordinary mission. Apropos of this latter statement I have heard that Ferukh Khan likes Europe so well, and has done so many things of his own head that cannot be approved of by the Ehah, that he is very unlikely to put himself in the power of his royal master for a longwhile to come. There are symptoms that the Powers of the world seem decidedly to be putting a rod in pickle for the Celestial Emperor. As if by a concerted signal, the French, English, and Russian journals are opening Are upon him all at once. The Constitutionael, the Pays, the Times, and the Russian Correspondence, have all come out with menacing articles within these few days, and now a letter from China, in the Pays, states that the Russian admiral, Putiatine, who had sent a message to the Emperor demanding admittauoe to Pekin, had received no answer up to the 20th; bat it was known that the political-religi ous mission, headed by the Archimandrite Gonri, had not yet been received in the capital of the empire, although these missions are usually received without difficulty, and that it was detained at a village about two miles from Pekin. The following telegram has been received this evening : MARSEILLES, Nov. 19. Since the publication of the decree authorialag the expoet of grain the buoyancy of the market has been sustained. There has been • rise of 3fr. the 16 decalitres for oertabt qualities. Other kinds of merchandiee are now beginning to be in favour.

A powder magazine has blown up, and it is reptrted that 100 lives are lost. The health of Count d'Argont, late governor at the Bank of France, is such u to caw uneasiness to his friends. Lord Brougham has arrived in Paris. PIEDMONT. TURIN, Nov, 19. The second elections yesterday resulted in 58 definitive nominations, of which 45 are ministerial and 13 opposition (of divers shades). The straggle wu very animated. The cable from Cagliari to Malta was successfully laid down yesterday. The telegraph works rep. laxly between the two islands. The election known up to this time amount to 154, of which 48 belong to the extreme right. The rest are divided among the various shades of liberals. The majority is ministerial. THE TWO ENGLISH ENGINEERS HELD CAPTIVE BY THE KING OF NAPLES. (mom ova OWN couseroirmer.), NAPLES, Nor. 14, Again and again must I return to the ease of the two British subjects who are in prison at Salerno. until the people of England compel our laisse: fairs government to take it op in a manner worthy the dignity of our country. A little time since there were hopes that forcible measures would have been. adopted to compel what both in courtesy and law ought to have been conceded. But the people here say that England, like a certain animal, had only put on the lien's skin, and had attempted to roar like the lion. The voice, however, was de tected, and all here are deriding it. The facts are am follows. Not a very long time since Lord Clarendon sent a telegraphic despatch to the British Acting• Consul, directing that he should demand an immediate interview with the Eng lish subjects now in prison. The despatch was sent in French, and it was further directed that the answer of this government should be telegraphed back as soon as received. All Naples knew iLt, as it was intended that it should, and the idea was that government would be frightened into submission; but has not my Lord Clarendon been already suffi ciently snubbed by the King of Naples?—has be not yet discovered that his simulated roar is understood and laughed at here? Well, the answer was re turned, and was telegraphed bask to Lord Clarendon, I have reason to believe—and that answer was a refusal, grounded upon an article which had nothing at all to do with the question, for, as I informed you in my last letter, there is not an article in the Codiee Napo letano which touches upon the subject. Such having been the ridiculous and the futile demonstration of his lordship, the case stands thus: the prisoners are still in confinement, and the utmost vigilance is ex ercised to prevent the slightest communication with them. Somewhere towards the end of last month au English engineer went to the British Vice-Consul at Vietri , near Salerno, and begged his assistance in procuring him an interview with the prisoners. Hs was answered, that it being Sunday it would be im possible, but on the next day he would make the attempt. Accordingly on the Monday they both went to Salerno, and the Vice-Consul saw the Pro curator-General, who at once refused permission, but allowed a written communication to be made. "Doyen want anything?" was asked. " Yes, send ns money." Ten piastres were sent in, and an acknow-
