The Express. — London, England, 1846-10-28 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY Coryphseua, has declared that powers which, like Austria, have not recognised the sovereignty of Queen Ise be/la, could not interfere in the disputes which the succession to the throne of Spain may give rise to. He has even added, that the accession of Queen Isabella violated the Treaty of Utrecht, which recog nised the Salle law u the basis of the right of succession ; and that an infraction, more or less, of the same treaty was henceforward of little importance. It is believed that Russia and Prussia have replied in the same sense. Thus, the quar rel la confined to England and France ; the rest of Europe will, for the present, keep aloof, and the denouement remains concealed in the obscurity of the future. As to the combina tion which would replace M. Guizot by M. Mold, it is a pure invention, fit merely for gobensouelass. A visit paid by Lord Normanby to Count Mold has served as the test of all this fine fiction but something more than this, even in this un stable country, is necessary for overturning a miniatry. In point of fact, why should M. Guizot retire ? The policy which he has pursued is triumphant, and all the world knows, in Eng land as well as in France, that the policy is not his. Would the cabinet of St James's be appeased by learning that Louis Philippe hes changed his responsible minister ? And if the consequences of the marriage remain the same, what does it signify to the cabinet of the Tuileries, directed in appear ance by M. Guizot or by M. Mole ? I could conceive that the King might change his ministers if he wished to change his policy. But then instead of thinking of N. Mold, who represents no party, he'; must go as far as M. Thiess, unless, under the compulsion of an imperious necessity, yet unfore seen, Louis Philippe will not take this dec sive and extreme step. As to M. Thiess, while he blames the policy pursued by the government, he would by no means consent to return to power to make himself un nopular, by becoming the instrument of any concession to he British Cabinet. Be assured, therefore, that there is no motion of the retirement of M. Guizot. That minister, .on the contrary, has never believed himself more firmly *eat 'ecl; i and what, in some degree, authorises this confi •• e, s that a part of the opposition shows itself favourable • ti .e marriage of the Infanta with the Duke de Mont pima, I. Doubtless they discover something to find fault with in the conduct of M. Guizot. They think that it bed ' , aged to any ono rather than to him to dis solve t he entente conflate of which he so loudly boasted. He is reproached with not doing in 1840 what he has done in 1848, and it is considered a disgrace to th e se me minister to have played two such different parts; but as to disavowing the policy which has concluded th e 'na m e , as to making any concession on this point to England, di e boldest Radical would not dare to suggest such counsel, i n such a category, neither M. Mole nor M. Thins would take o. lice, if they desired it, to console you for the loss of M. Guizot. The minister, moreover, conducts himself as if b e had not t h e slightest fear as to his tenure of office. The minister. are a 11 dispersed, and for the present absent from p er k, en d t h e horrible inundations of the Loire and the Rhone entirely o ceupy public attention. The state of public • credit meet also e Gen be thought of—a subject which I shall have to discuss. P.S. The only t. hing probable with regard to the minis tenni the. • has been talked of, is the replacement o f L ame ,L ape& me by M. Posey, and of M. Martin du Nord by M. Riber t ; . but these modifications ' instead of overturning the min atiTi would in point of fact greatly strentrthrn 0.

The duty amounts fro 13 , 8 00,000 e, nearly two millions more than in 1845, ant one and a half more than in 1844. Corn, which in 1845 had k ?iv en onlyl,ooo,ooof. and in 1844, 1,250,000 f ,, has this yearn% th'buted 1,400,000 f. The multi of the imports for the first re. tel months of this year are now known—they amonnt to 114 4- 10 millions ; in 1845, they were 113 3-10 millions; and in .'844,112 7-10 millions. The quantity of corn imported in September, 1846, was 367,000 quintals ;in 1845, 192,000 and in 1844, 113,000. During the ten months it was in lb It 1, 2,368,000 quintals; in 1845, 801,000 quintal : and in 1844, 2,34 , 3,000 quintals. The Bordeaux mail has not arrived to-day, and we are consequently again without Madrid journals. Tb e Mar seilles Journals, and some others from part of the pro vine's which have been inundated, are also wanting. We fear, therefore, that the calamity in some districts has rather in creased than diminished. The Nantes and Angers journ sh, which should have arrived yesterday morning, did not coon, to hand until late in the evening. The Loire in that paet was rising rapidly on the 23rd. At the date of the last ac count from Lyons it was feared that the steamers on the Saone, which, since the inundations, had been the only means olcommunication for a portion of the country, would be suspended, ea the river had already reached an alarming height. It was still reported at Lyons that nearly half the town of Briare had been destroyed. A riot, arising out of the high price of corn, took place last week at Hennebon, near Lorient. The populace attempted to prevent the departure of two vessels laden with corn, and would probably have plundered them, but for the arrival of some troops. Several of the rioters were arrested. ITALY.—A letter from Rome states that about a fortnight ago a man was arrested there whilst distributing clandestinely a pamphlet, entitled " History of Pius IX., the enemy of religion, and chief of young Italy." When the Pope heard of the arrest, be ordered the man to be brought before him. Alter interrogating the offender in a kind man ner, the Pope said " As your fault affects only my self, I par don you." The man, deeply affected, fell at the feet of the THE R HOISTRATIONS. Pope, and offered to reveal the names of the authors of the MIDDLEsKx.—The revision of the lists for the pamphlet, but the Pope refused to hear it, and said, " Let parishes of the City of L ondon was continued on lionday by their fault be buried in silence, and may repentance touch Mr. Shadwall at the Vic e-Chancellor's Conn, Lim:obis Inn their hearts."

In the Law-. which were entertained yesterday and the day before of thewherein J the ad. rent a Pountney list, ame t t f was Trate health of the Archduke Palatine have been annihilated. The for • thirty claims, founded upon se many the League 40s. accounts received to-day are most unfavourable, as appears charges secured on a freehold house in Lawrence from the annexed bulletin which has just been received : PO entry-hill, Mr. Payne objected, that th e . list of claim which had " The expected continuance of the amendment announced par blished by the overseers, a copy of been fur yesterday did not take place, hence his Imperial Highness by on to be" rent shed to him, stated the qualificati simply no means gains strength, and suffered much, especiall y . in c' large; "; which was insuf fi cient.

The original list was handed in ated.—Ofen, Oct. 16, nine la the moniag." by the clerk, but Mr. Payee contended that the Barrister could only receive the lists from the overseen themselves, who were bound to attend to answer any questions that might be put to them by the Court. In fact, WI the can now stood, there were no lists as required by the Aet of Parlia ment, and the Court - had no power to deal with the daises. The parties claiming had their remedy against the over seen by whose neglect they would be thus deprived of the franchise. The Barrister having bad evidence of the proper publication on the church-doors, decided that he could proceed with the revision, and as Mr. Payne's objections had been made against the wrong list, they fell to the ground, and the whole of the claims were allowed. Mr. Shadwell declined to punish the overseen by fine, but refused their expenses, which amounted to 41. 15s. The subject of over seers' costs generally was again referred to in the course of the day, and the barrister said, for the future, he would allow for attendance, 6s. Bd., should the pariah not be called on, and 13s. 4d. when the list was revised. Before the Court rose, it was discovered that in several of those cases in which holders of life incumbencies had been struck off the list, en the ground of the insufficiency of the qualification described, and which it had been understood should be consolidated in the appeal granted in the case of the Rev. Mr. Pizey, of St. Peter's, Saffron-hill, the notice required by the act of Parlia ment had not been given at the roper time, and ae the appeal would consequently include only these eases, Mr. Payne intimated that he would not prosecute it. The deci sions of the barrister will therefore remain undisturbed. The result of the revision, according to the return of Mr. James, the Liberal agent, is—On the Liberal aide, 812 new claims, and 318 objections, were sustained, whilst 503 new clainxiand 204 objectiona were made good by the Conser vatives. Hence, by the Middlesex registration, there his been, according to this statement, an accession of 423 votes to the Liberal cause.

This family is of Saxon origin, and was settled at the latter place before the conquest ; that part of the country having been allotted to ita progenitor, a Saxon officer, for his gallant conduct when oppeeted to the ancient Britons. The curious surname of the family may, no doubt, have ex cited the reader's curiosity. It appears that the house, fled inhabited by the original possessor of the lands in Northum berland, was built upon two stones known as featherstones, and that, on the same being destroyed during a conflict with the Scots, another was built in a valley, or haugh as it was termed, and hence the word Fetherstonhaugh.

REMOVAL OF PAUPERS TO LUNATIC ASYLUMS. —Yesterday a special meeting of the Board of Guardians of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, took place in the board room of die workhouse, for the purpose of taking into con sideration two reports which appeared in the daily papers of October 17 and 22, under the head of the Southwark Police Court, relative to an attempt being made, by Mr. Robinson, the master of the workhouse, to remove a sane female pauper to a lunatic asylum, and also a letter from the Com missioners in Lunacy in reference to the said removal, re quiring every particular of the system on which pauper Ittnettia are treated.

I tins suggested that no alleged lunatic should be removed to an asylum with out having been examined 'by the boiud,which was agreed to. It seems that by the last act relating to lunatics ( 9 and 10 Via. cap. 84), which came into operation on the 26th of August, 1846, the medical officer of a union can, with the aid of another medical man, mutually sign • certifi cate of insanity, and thus send a lunatic to an asylum without the interference of a magistrate ; but as this is optional, the board very properly determined to get the sig nature of a magistrate on such occasions. It was also directed that an answer be sent to the Commissioners in Lunacy relative to the above ease, and also that a resolution be entered on the minutes that the recent proceedings before Mr. Seeker were wholly unknown to the board of guardians. Nine paupers who had been examined by the Commissioners in Lunacy, and who had directed their removal to a lunatic asylum, were then brought before the board, one of whom had been an inmate of the workhouse for the long period of forty yeen, all of whom were declared to be harmless when the baud broke up. HOTEL AND TAVERN KEEPERS' PROVIDENT IN anTuTioN.—The eighth anniver sary in aid of this charitable institution, the object of which is to provide for the relief of necessitous and aged members, was celebrated yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Right lion. the Lord Mayor presided on the occasion. Covers were laid for about seventy. After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts were drunk, the chairman proposed the toast of the evening, " The Prosperity and Perpetuity of the Hotel and Tavern Keepers' Institution," and in doing so he said he appeared amongst them on that occasion for the second time that year, because they had not done their duty and had not accomplished the objects for which they met on the former occasion. He hoped that now they would be able to declare they were in a po sition to put their committee iri motion, and that their monetary affairs were so far completed as to enable them to commence distributing a portion of the funds. His lordship then called on the secretary to read the list of contributions, from which it appeared that the sum at the disposal of the institution, including the funded property, amounts to near 6,0001., which will be sufficient to enable the committee to commence operations. The toasts of "The Chairman; " " The Chairman of the Licensed Victuallers' Fire and Lfe Assurance Company;" "The lion. Contributors;" "The Lady Mayoress;" The President, Vice-President, &c., of the Institution;" were then severally drunk and re sponded to. THE DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOf4EN'S SOCIETY.—The third annual meeting of the Society for the Protection and Employment of Distressed Net dlewomen was held yesterday afternoon, in Willis's Rooms, Duke-street, St. James's,when Mr. Alderman Farebrother, the pre.ident of the society, took the chair. The charity was formed in the year 1844, to afford employment to the needlewomen of the metropolis. From the report read by the hon. secretary (Mr. Roper), we learn that the circumstances which first led to the formation of the society was the truly distressed state of the poor needlewomen, who were toiling fourteen or fifteen hours daily, in order to earn 4d. or Gd., a sum not sufficient to pay the rent of their miserable dwellings. Since the establish ment of this society, in many instances, by its exertions the guardians of the poor in unions and workhouses had been induced to abandon the system which had been followed, to the injury of the industrious but unprotected needlewomen, of taking in needlework at the lowest amount of payment for the labour, and in those cases in which the practice still continued, the full prices were now charged. It was also satisfactory to be told in the report, that, by the intervention of this society, the practice of pawning goods entrusted to needlewomen to make up, had almost wholly disappeared from the records of the police courts. The report then went on to state that the ladies' committee had, only in cases of emergency , afforded pecuniary r e li e f, b u t th a t the greatest benefit had arisen from the donation to the poor of articles of clothing furnished by the Society, and by the employment of the peculiar class of labour which the Institution sought to assist and to protect. Th e S oc i e t y a l so k ept up a system ' trf niistration of the names and addresses of young humble ' clueslntpeachable character, to supply the trade seeking to avail themselves of the services of respectable workwomen. The account of receipts and expenditure from the Bth June, 1845, to the same date of the present year, showed an income of 5601. 65. ld., and an expenditure of 5151. 6e. (id., leaving a balance in the hands of the Society's bankers of 441. 194. Bd. Theprincipal items in the statement of the disbarments were those of a sum of 188/. 3s. Bd., in the purchase edam nels and calicoes, and of 2041. 17s. 6d., for wages for making up the same into clothes for distribution to the destitute. In opening the proceeding, the Chairman narrated an in olenne in which the bounty had proved beneficial to two lies whom he (the Chairman) well remembered to have am enter their father's carnage in the county of Kent. 'nue ladies had been found in the City of London reduced to the occupation of a miserable garret, without fire, and scrawly with clothing or food. Finn no fault of their own they bad been reduced to this extremity. Both their parenta were dead, and to their only brother they had entrusted the remnant of their fortune. That brother be came the victim of duplicity, and his death was prematurely brought about by the eonviction that his ruin and that of his sisters, to whom he was devotedly attached, were simultaneous. The ladies who had resented to needlework as a merenefsubsistence, were now, by theaid of this society, earning from Bs. to 9s. per week, and declared themselves to be truly happy. This was, said the chairman, only one of many instating which might be adduced ir. proof of the utility of this • . On the motion of Lord Dudley Stuart, sounded by Mr. craw, the report was ordered to be printed and circulated. The meeting was subsequently ad dressed by )Cr. L. J. Hansard, Mr. Moore, Mr. Gladman, and other gentlemen, and a series of resolutions, declaratory of the service•underei to the community by the society, and of the determeation of its supporters not to relax their exer tion* were unanimously adopted. Thanks were voted to the chairman by neelamation, and the meeting separated.

ACCIDENTS.— DEATH FROM A FALSE STEP.—On Monday livening about sine o'clock, as a married female, named Barnes, who resided at 6, Victoria Cottages, Ken sington-gravel-pits, was engaged in conversation with her sister, en the footway, at Victoria-grove, Bayswater, she happened suddenly to move from the position she was in, when, from there being no railing as yet erected in front of the newbuildingasaluded to, she fell backwards down an area and, in consequence of the frightful injury which she sustaiinad, she expired in a few minutes after she was Rieke& up.--Two YEN BekIED Axi vs.—Yesterday afternoon, as five men were employed in excavating a sewer, twenty feet deep, in a new street an the north side of Boston Church the earth gave way. A previous slip of the ground gave tbnely warning to three of the men, but their compa nions were it is shocking to add, immolated. The name of one was James Haynes, and the other W. Lockhart, was known as "Will of Box," *ma his having assisted in ex cavating the great Box tunnel. On the alarm being given, workmen from the ne i g hb our h oo d h astened to the spot, sad proceeded with alacrity and courage to dig for the buried men, in spite of the impending danger. A strong body of police also coma to the rescue. Soon after the labourers Ind commence& their search part of the limbs of Haynes and " Will" were discovered huddled up in the most frightful manner, but it was hoped both would be rescued before death terminated their sufferings. Unfortunately at this 'mordent, when hope w as a b ou t to b e realised, another body of earth, fell in, once more burying the poor men, and jeopardising the lives of all employed in the humane work tf attempting to rescue their fellow-creatures. A further attempt was made as soon as a temporary support to the crown, of the cutting could be erected, and in about an hour-and-a-half the body of Haynes was got out. It was conveyed to the station-house in Robert street, where hoe baths had been prepared by In quelor Pasco, aided by the neighbours, who prepared water, and rendered even necessary aseistance in so great a time of aid The poor fellow was immediately plastid in a bath, and attended by Mr. Cow ar d an d Mr. Packer, surgeons of the immediate neighbourhood, but all attempts to restore animation wore useless, although every measure which humanity cold suggest was put into requisition for the purpose. Finding all means fruitless, a shell was prepared and the body removed to the unfortunate man's house, to await the inquisition of a coroner's jury. The poor fellow, it ie stated, has left a wife and four ehildren to lament his untimely fate,besides which his wife is at the present time in a state of pregnacy. Meantime measures were going on for the nuovery of the ether sufferer. Again and again part of the man appeared, but from the het of his being wedged in so tightly by the fallen mass, and the impassibility of shielding the excavators by any protecting timbers. Hence it was not till nearly 10 o'clock that the body of Lockhart was extricated. Though not much mutilated be was quite dead, and the body was conveyed to a neighbouring station to await the ooroner's inquest. Fortunately no other accident occurred, for, while the body was being dug out the earth was falling around in large MINIM —ACCIDENT ON TH6 MI DLAN D Lire E.—Last evening the guards of the York train which arrived at Euston-square at half-past ten, reported that a collision of a serious character had occurred just below the Syeton station. Three engines had, it was stated, been "broken up." The time kw collecting information was so limited daring the transit of the train by which the news was brought, that no partieulara could be learned. No lives have it is believed been lost. INQUESTS.—DISAPPOINTMENT IN MARRIAGE.—At the Old Pares Head, Aldersgate-st., before Mr. Payne, on the body of Anse Ayleff, aged 24.—Thomas Ayl s ff, shoemaker, of No. 10, Maidenhead-court, said that the deceased, hia daugh ter, had for some time past complained of pain in her head, and had frequently said she feared she should ;re out of her mind. On Monday mommg, as she had passed a restless night, witness left her he bed while he went down stairs to get the breakfast ready, and on retu • in about an hour, found her hanging to the top of the ead, and quite dead. She had formed an acquaintance with, and wished to marry, a young soldier, but witness objected to the marriage, on account of his being in the army. He came a few weeks ago in his regimentals, and hearing wit ness's objection that he was not able to support a wife, he seemed to agrte to the reasons given against the marriage, and said he hoped that his uncle would purchase his dis charge from the army. The deceased and the soldier then took leave. About three months ago, before witness had refused his assent to the marriage, the deceased went to live in Oxford-street, in order that she might be near the bar racks, and while speaking of how fondly she loved the sol dier, said that if they were not married she 'should drown herself. Witness had no doubt that her grief when the match was broken off was the chief cause of her illness,— Other witnesses said that the deceased had grieved much at her mother's death six months ago, and since then had had a great fancy for going to graveyards, particularly that where her mother was buried. The jury returned a yerdiet of " Temporary insanity." COMBINATION AGAINST THE "DAILY NEWS." [Front the Daily News.] The subject to which we briefly adverted yesterday was, a combination of the morning papers against the Daily News. It is one of great public as well as pri vate interest : for it must be obvious that if the parties could succeed in their object, there would be no other limit to the price of the London newspaper than the conscience and supposed interests of the proprietors. The Times tells us that it loves opposition--nay, courts it :—but then, it must be an opposition con ducted on the old principles, and involving a hopeless speculation. What the Times does not love, is an earnest, active, honest opposition, which has in it the seeds of vitality. For a rivalry that may be safely left to the element of mortality mixed up with its original constitution, the Times has the most generous indulgence : but one which has a new and vigorous principle of health and life is to be met, at once, by a direct and systematic persecution directed against the new and living priuciple itself. Of these tactics the public had proof long ago. When, for instance, the Morning Herald came into the hands of its present proprietor, it was evident to the Times that it was likely to be a successful rival. Forthwith, came cavillings and questionings, and objections; and the Herald, on some pretence or other, was not per witted to join with the other papers in expresses. I If at all, it must ran them at its own undivided cost. Months had, of necessity, to intervene between the date of the exclusion and the period when the new and remote agencies could be brought into play. In this interval, the Times was unusually energetic.; and there was no term of scorn or derision which that journal did not lavish on its dangerous rival : all with a pur pose of which the public has now the key ;—the pur pose of prejudicing the public mind against the Herald, and inducing a belief that the latter was always late with its news, and a day after the Times. In this anxious and vehement assertion of the con trary did the Ewa cover its real apprehensions ; which were that the Herald, when its policy should be matured, and come to bear fruit, would be generally in advance of the Times. And this did, in fact, happen. When the Daily News came into the field, it was somewhat hastily assumed by the experienced in Printing House-square that it was to be one of those helpless, hopeless experiments which would die without slaughtering; and therefore, it was allowed to squander its thousands at its own free will, and without a word of remonstrance. Of course the Daily News united itself with the excommunicated Herald ; on terms, however, of perfect equality, pay ing one half the expense of the foreign agencies and expresses. Here, then, was the Herald restored to a position of equal advantages, in spite of the Times; and here was a fair and legitimate opposition—the I Times, the Chronicle and the Post, against the Herald and the Daily News. Well, for a time "all went merry as a marriage bell." The co-operation of the Daily News and the Herald was cordial and complete; and we took occa sion to bear public testimony to the freedom from all petty jealousies which distinguished the conduct of our ally. In the first flush of our success, while our mechanical resources were yet inadequate to the , enormous demand made upon them, the effects of an I accident, which would have disappointed thousands of our subscribers of their day's publication, were re paired by the prompt and generous assistance of the Herald. We arc not disposed to forget these ser vices even now, when we have no longer the benefit of that co-operation and friendly aid ; when our former ally has forgotten all the scorn and contumely which he endured in the pest; when the scorner is forgetful too, for the sake of vengeance on the pre •mption which has established the most forrnio ble rivalry he has yet encountered—and Herald, Times, Chronicle, and Post— Little dogs and all— Tray, Blanch, and Sweetheart— are associated to run their expresses, so soon as cir cumstances permit, as a joint-stock company, to the exclusion of; and, if possible, to crush, the Daily News. We will not say one word against our late colleague beyond what circumstances enforce for our own justi fication. The Herald has perhaps acted naturally, though we think shortsightedly, for its own supposed interests. Wanting the courage to anticipate, by a bold and timely movement, the reduction to which it must inevitably come—and is now likely to come too late—the temptation which promised so large a light ening of its present load, and au opportunity so fa vourable of assisting to clear the ground of dangerous opposition, was not to be resisted. We are scarcely surprised, therefore, to see the Jupiter Tonans of the press and the Mrs. Harris of former days, in amiable soft conjunction ; the Thunderer descending into the bosom of his Dangle in a visionary shower of gold. Nor does it fright us to see other quarrels forgotten with like facility. We are satisfied to be the outcast from this family of love ;—love for high prices and cheap expresses, which must seem all the lovelier for our dear expresses and low prices. Yet, however reluctant we may be to allude to per sonal matters and private arrangements, the history, in outline, of the pest three months must be told. The origin of the separation and combination in question we have already hinted at ; and the reader would have been at no loss for conclusions had we remained silent. The announcement of a London morning newspaper at twopence halfpenny, startled others less generous and noble than our ally. It fore shadowed an opposition altogether different from that which is the loved and courted. The offer of a cheap London morning newspaper was a clear cams belli— and the Daily Noses must be at once attacked, by fair means and foul, in its character, credit, and relations. Accordingly out came the Times, with solemn plausi bility, to prove, by the simplest rules of arithmetic, that no paper could succeed under fivepence ; that the Daily News was virtually beggared, bankrupt, gone, and to be nomore heard of! To those who know the Times, it seemed strange that, the Doily News being dead according to Cocker, a fact so simple and obvious, should require two leading articles in proof ; that a problem which was solved by the merest ele ment& of arithmetic should be encumbered by columns of elaborate special pleading. If the Times had any faith in its own figures, the natural and conscientious coarse was to abide the issue. If the Thunderer had made no mistake, it was clear that " when the money seas gone the journal would die—and there an end : and a paper so inevitably doomed might surely have been left to die in peace : the Ti sea afterwards, like a generous foe, giving it friendly burial, and with sententious propriety writing its epitaph; pointing the moral and making it serviceable as a warning to all future rash and daring competitors. But the further tactics of the Times were not of a character thus inept. A mancenvre far more success ful than tampering with Cocker was, the formation of a holy alliance amongst the members of the morning press, for the maintenance of absolutism and the im maculate fivepence. A negotiation was accordingly opened with the once rejected Herald. The oily voice of " a commissioner" was heard, insinuating that " 'Twas pity, so 'twas," that the Herald should go to such needless expenses in the way of rival expresses —had it not better join the league? It would be thinking too harshly of human nature, and, we are convinced, both ungenerously and unjustly of our ally, not to suppose that, at this moment, some still small voice—some whisper of the conscience —asked, however faintly—But what of the Daily News? Here we understand the conference was broken eff. But the suggestive voice had left its haunting echoes; the poisonous distillation had been poured into the ear, and was silently doing its work. From that hour things never went pleasantly between the Herald and the Daily News. Coming events began to cast their shadows—end these to take a form daily more distinct. The figure of the great truth grew at length apparent, and was recognised by all agents, and influenced all sub ordinates ; old associations were about to be broken up and new ones formed, To our courteous remon- strances were returned ua regr e t promise of redress. g Our India exp ress o f t h e 22d ult. broil 1 issue. It arrived at the London -bridge tern minutes after two, A.M.; and was, therefor at the Herald office before half-past two. ragraph of news reached the Daily News to fear. The result was, that the 11 lished eight columns of India news in edition, while the Daily News was of give a summary, in one column --and in its London i mpress i on.
