TIM poor of the hletropolia seem more likely to obtain 'kitties st the bands of Mr. Surinam FATCOURT than at the hands of Mr. Bouvnia. Sorely to the annoyance of the late President of the Poor-law Board, Mr. MILTON he.. obtained leave to lay a Bill for the Equalisation of the Metropolitan Poor•retee ea the table of the House of Commons. Mr. Boum.= evidently plumed himself ea the idea that his red-tape harangue of teat geisha had settled the question for ever. He has been ends- ceived. The matter will certainly be debated. Is the meantime, seeing that Mr. BM:WIWI, with all his courage, will find it impossible to barks the subject, it becomes his duty to apply himself to its serious consideration. If there ever was a ease which to a man of plain common sense might seem intelligible it is this of the inequality of the London Poor-rates. Here is an enormous area of ground covered with build ings, and inhabited by some 1,000,000 human beings. Some are rich ; some are poor. Some are beakers, some protemiimal men—some are skilled artisans, some are ecennion labourers. But they all belong to one town as it were. They are all bound together by a common tin. The necessities of business require that they should all live within each a distance of each other that they can lend one ano ther mutual aid. During the day the mutual de pendent* of every man dwelling within the metro politan district is apparent. For some nine hours poor and rich are found mingled together in such propor tions and in each localities as the business of life requires. Out of that living, bustling mass of mss is developed the wealth and power which make Lou don the first city in the world. But after six cfcloek in the evening the whole scene is changed. Tho roughfares the most populous are deserted—the roar of traffic oesses—warehousee and shops, banks and law ooarts, are empty and silent. The have gone to their mansions in Belgrave-equare or to their delightful villas on the banks of the Thames. The hard-working artisan and the grey-haired clerk have retired to crowded lodgings in the Tower Hamlets, or to their dingy homes in Southwark. The people of the Metropolis have dispersed themselves into distinct localities. As the pro gram of mankind has brought about a division of kbear, so the progress of population has brought about a division of dwelling places. Whatever may be the ease during the day, daring the night Society is divided into two camps. Now the law of England says that no man shall starve. If any Englishman, or woman, or child, cannot get • living, there is a claim on what are called the Poor-Rates. The question is, who are to pay the Poor-Rates? In fanner times, and even now in most parts of the country, the poor earn their bread and sleep in the same parish, and therefore the Rates levied within the parish are obviously the funds properly applied to the support of the poor. The principle that those who benefit by the labour of • man— those who call crowds of workmen into a certain district—shall furnish these labourers and workmen with subsistence, is acted upon. But in London this principle is utterly ignored. Those rich gentlemen within whose warehouses and clubs the poor artisans and servants pass their days and exhaust their strength repudiate the idea of furnishing that sup port which the law requires to be furnished by somebody. The consequences are inevitable. The rich perishes in the West-end, and those which contain the great banks and warehouses in the City, are taxed at a mere nominal sum, whilst the parishes in the East end, where the poor people " moat do congregate," are taxed at an exorbitant rate. Nor is it unimpor teat to add that this inequality would be still more glaring if the basis of assessment throughout the 'metropolitan parishes were more equal. Thus, in St. George's, Hanover-square, there is an excess in the property-tax usessment over the poor-law aassennent of 400,0001., whilst in Bethnal-green the poor-law amassment actually exceeds that for pro perty by 2,0001. Now, what satisfactory reason can possibly be assigned for throwing the rappet of the poor on the latter of these two damn d parishes? Why should the parish within which a man sleeps pay for him when be fails ill . instead of the parish within which he spends hie active life ? If those persons who employ labourers are to pay for those whom they have worked out, as men pay for wore out private servants, the proper plan would be to charge parishes not with those who sleep within their boundaries but with those who work within their boundaries. In short, for the purpose of the Poor Law it is London awake, not London asleep, which ought to be taxed. Of course we shall be told that to put this as a question affecting the poor is a disgreosful mis representation. Ste. Ror.ticcx and Mr. Bourezin instead that if the poor-rate were lowered to morrow the poor would not be benefited one iota— the difference would be pocketed by the landlord. According to this it ewes as if the interests of land lords were out of the varieties. But if the poor-rate falls unjustly upon those houses peopled by the London poor it is diffleult to understand why this Injustice should sot be remedied, even though it may benefit landlords. What we say is this, that those who create the poor do not pay far them. Barely the answer is idle, that to change the liability from the shoulders of one set of landlords to sa will sot benefit the poor. Bat the troth is, it will do so. The present state of the law arts as a pod five prohibition against building houses for the poor, Landlords and builders have learnt by exprekees what is the consequence of allowing the poor to some within a parish. If they value their own latteeete they will not only prevent the influx of poor, but, by pall. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 185 V ing down mach houses as seed to occupy, for instance, the place of New Oxford-street, they will relieve themselves of poor-rates, and obtain. a better ins of tenants. But in the meantime the poor are driven lack into the living wilderness of Bermondsey and St. Ohm—packed closer and closer into thole stifling garrets, there to breed pestilence and crime. These wretched creatares must sow be dug oat by the police sad oast into the streets. But what is to become of them ? Mast they amain in the streets ? It may be too much to demand that Par- Haman should build dwelliogs for them; but it is ealy justice that Parliament should throw no ob structive, in the way of independent landlords erect ing home for the poorer elasses--obstructions which undoubtedly ace created by the present system of Metropolitan Bating. If, indeed, the only question concerned the &b -oned judos of the demand for Equalising the Poor- Rats, and the enormity of the evils which it en genders, the difficulty in the way of the eastern parishes of London would be infinitely diminished. Bet people generally seem to anticipate that, if this demand for equalisation is allowed in the case of London, it must necessarily lead to a National rating, the result of which must be a diminution of Ideal responsibility, and consequent extravagance. Now, in the first place, it is clear that London, and indeed all cities, stand on a peculiar footing. It seems impossible to maintain that the several parts of London are not mote closely connected with each other than the county of Middlesex is with the eounty of Northumberland. It is naturally felt that just as the parish is a better unit for the purpose of poor-law taxation than a single street, or a group of ten bounce, so the metropolitan district most be a better unit of taxation than each of the metropolitan parishes. Mr. Cox, the member for Finsbury, has I furnished an admirable illustration of the absurdity' : of the present system. He tells us that the Bank of England is actually built in several parishes, and that though one part pays only 3001. towards the poor-rate, another part of the suns building pays 10,0001. Can anything tie more preposterous P Since the poor are en titled to relief, there is an obvious common sense in considering the poor of London as one bundle—a single mans, created by the same °imaginings, sail having a claim upon the same class of persons. Bet since it is found, according to the present system, that one room in the Bank of England, in the very centre of London, is taxed at the sum of 3002. a-year whilst another room in the same building is taxed at the sum of 10,9001. a-year, the absurdity of that system becomes too gross for argument. Some change is imperatively required, and it is clear that the metropolitan district would be a much more rational unit for the purpose of taxation than the several parishes are at present. Surely if the metio politaa district was formed into a single district, for the purpose of being rated to the poor, there would be no difficulty in obtaining a representative body from the several parishes which would exer cise that control over expenditure which is now exercised by the elected guardians. ARRIVAL OF REM WATT PROM NAPLES.— Mr. Henry Watt, one of the English engineers re cently released from the Neapolitan dungeon, arrived in London by the early train yes terday morning, accompanied by one of the Queen 's mes seogers, from Dover, and proceeded to Newcastle, his native town.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS., (MON 01711 OWX PARIS, THIMISDAT EYINING. It is to be inferred from a note in the Moniteur of this morning that the government, instead of glorying in repressive measures, which it did a few weeks ago, now feels the necessity of using more oonciliatory language, in order to allay the extremely bad effect which the Public Safety Bill has produced is the country. It now says that public safety has been assured by the arrest of a few notoriously dangerous men. Why, then, if the matter was so simple, was the bill voted for the long period of ten years P An authentic return of the number and names of the people arrested would have added to the satisfaction which the above announcement is expected to produce, and would certainly not have been more than the country is fairly entitled to ex pect. It is promised that men belonging to the black categories (and they are counted by thou sands) shall in future be free from arbitrary arrest, " unless they commit fresh offences." But this is no guarantee, because it is entirely in the breast of the executive to determine, and that without publicity, what constitutes an offence. It must be very lately indeed that the tale of arrests thought necessary to insure public safety has been completed, if we are to believe that it has been completed, for the last number of the Cc/wrier de la Moselle say. : Two inhabitants of Mete, and a third individual from the mates of range, were lately arrested under the poems of the Public Safety Act. It was generally thought that their derentket would be at short duration, bat en order has just arrived to transport them to Algeria. They were yesterday removed in custody by railway for blarasillse. The Minister of the Interior and Public Safety, by a decree of March 8, ordered that all the artillery in several towns of France should be dismounted and deposited in the arsenals. The ostensible reason for this measure—a singular one to emanate from the Minister of the Interior, if we did not remember that he is also a Gene ral and a Minister of Public Safety, is that the guns in question are so damaged that they would be dangerous to use, and it is promised that they shall shortly be replaced by artillery in better condition. This story is discredited in the localities affected by the decree, where it is not doubted that the true reason for taking away the guns is the apprehension that, in case of a rising, they might fall into the hands of the people. It does indeed appear the most wonderful thing in the world, con sidering the circumstances under which General &pima., was nominated to his present office, that he should have all at once betaken himself to the inspection of rusty cannon in garrison towns. An envoy from the Brasile has arrived in Paris to confer with the French government on the sub ject of sanitary improvements in the port of Rio Janeiro. There has been a large business done at the Bourse to-day, with considerable fluctuations. The Rents; for acoount, after being quoted as high as 70fr. 6c., closed at 69fr. 96c., with a rise of 20c. There was a rise of 26c. for cash, the last price being 89fr. 90c. Mobilier, after touching 825 fr., closed at 811 fr. 25c., with a rise of Mr. 75c. The Eastern Railway fell 10fr.; Western, 12fr. 60c.; and Lyons, 2fr. 50e. Northern role 2fr. 600. The Bourse was heavy at the close. Prince George of Saxony arrived last night in Paris by the Strasburg Railway, and proceeded at once to the-Palace of the Tuileries. That part of the Boulevard de Sebastopol which is situated on the right bank of the Seine, is now ornapletely finished, and will be publicly inaugu rated by the Prefect of the Seine and the Municipal Council on Monday next. This splendid street, ter minated at the northern extremity by the ornamental Strasburg railway station, is said to be the longest in the world. A girl named Marie Girodon, aged 16, died on the 18th instant, at the Lariboisidre Hospital, of wounds I received in the Rae Lepelletier on Jan. 14. Prince Jerome was able yesterday, for the first time, to walk a little on the terrace. A case of some interest to the English in France was a few days ago submitted to the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Boulogne-sur-Mer. The police of that town arrested an Englishman whose name was known to be Glass, for having come to France with a passport in the name of James Howard. He did not deny that he had procured the passport in the name of Howard from the French consul at London, and he could not give any satisfactory explanation of his reason for doing so. When the man was brought to trial, his advocate, without attempting to deny the fact alleged, contended that, as the offence had been committed in England, and as coma were not in the position of ambassadors, that is, sup posed to be always in their own country, the pri soner did not fall within the jurisdiction of the French law. But the tribunal laid down that, in delivering the passport, the French consul at London " acted is a diplomatic and administrative character, perfectly independent of English jurisdiction," and that he did so " as representative of French autho rity, and under the empire of the principle that, in a foreign country, diplomatic agents are supposed to be on French territory." It therefore said that " Glees, in submitting himself to a condition imposed by the French government, must necessarily support all the consequences arising from an infraction of the laws et that government," and it sentenced him to five days' imprisonment to or nor the Empire, from delivering passports and vials (a prohibition justified by the abuses that have oomrred), the government of the Emperor has already established and purposes establishing, ac cording to the necessities of the service, at places nen remote from our frontier, where there is the principal concourse of travellers arriving in France, nonch consular agents authorised to deliver pass ports and visas, so as to save travellers any incon venient or troublesome derangement in their route. From the above brief explanations it is clear that if the interest of public tranquillity has necessitated a serious return to the practice of the regulations, the government of the Emperor, very far from ex aggerating its effect, has, on contrary, endea voured to do away with the obstacles which might in reality encumber the relations between France and foreign countries.

THE FRENCH PASSPORT SYSTEM. (From yorterday'r Monisew r.) Objections have been raised strained the measures just taken by the government of the Emperor for re =47 the delivery of passports and visas. Never all that has been done was to bring again into nes the regulations that go back to the years 1791, 1807, 1810, and 1818—a11 of which were re vised and reduced to one whole in 1833. These regulations are summed up in the following arrange ments: French diplomatic and consular agents are only to deliver passports to their countrymen, when the identity of the applicants is recognised and proved by the presence of two witnesses. Thoee agents are prohibited from delivering . passports to foreigners. This is a fundamental principle, which had been de- Crtefrock in England. The British government, vin d g itself recognised the inconvenience of this mode of procedure, has adopted measures, in order that British subjects in future may no longer have rasourse to foreign agents, and may be able to procure their travelling permit from the English authorities. . . The French diplomatic and consular agents have re tained the authority of requiring the presence of the bearers of the passports for which their visa is ne cessary. This authority evidently results from the spirit of the laws now in force but the obligation it imposes on travellers is not absolute, and fall lati tau to deal with exceptional cases is left to the agents of the Emperor, who are, moreover, autho rised to Muse, without requiring the presents of the parties, the passports delivered by the competent authorities of foreign states to their own countrymen, whenever such passports shall be addressed to these agents by the governments of those states with a speedal recommendation, and on their responsibility. Lastly, and independently of these facilities, ow ing to the injunctions prohibiting our vice-consular agents of foreign nationality, in countries adjacent NAPLES. THE TRIAL OF THE INSURGENTS AND CREW OF THE CAGLIARL (PROM 01111 OWN 0011WIPONOINT.) BALBRNO, MARCH 17. I shall content myself with giving a brief digest of the proceedings of the last two days, more for the sake of certain suggestive incidents than for details which would be necessarily uninteresting to per- eons who look on from a distance. The business of Monday began with a request on the part of the counsel for the defence that certain questions there dictated might be sent to Tunis, to be answered by the liberated passengers of the Cagliari residing there. The request was acceded to. A scene then took place, and very important evi dence was indirectly elicited in favour of Rubattino, the proprietor of the Cagliari, and all concerned with or dependent on him. The Procurator- General, it was asserted, had in his posses sion an " istruzione " of a very important character, which had been drawn up in Genoa. It amounted to this, that, in spite of assertions to the contrary, the Neapolitan Consul in Genoa could not in conscience say that he could ascertain any traces of combination between Rubattino, Captain Sits* and Pisacane in the offices of Rubattino. The Pro curator-General was very irate at what he called his private correspondence being thus violated and made public. The advocate for the defence persisted in demanding that his " istruzione" should be brought forward, alleging that the law requires the whole precis to be made known to the accused, and not that portion only which is adverse to them. This was opposed, on the ground that there was no obli gation to furnish the accused with matter for their defence, and that the " istruzione " alluded to bore not so much upon the cause now pending as upon the case of Rubattino and the steamer. It was answered, very justly, that the two causes were most intimately connected, and that whatever tended to exculpate Rabattino would exculpate also Sitzia and the crew. As it was evident, however, that the " istruzione " demanded would not be pro duced, it was requested that some persons of high rank in Genoa should be interrogated as to the poli tical character and relationsof the crew, the captain, and the proprietor of the vessel , hich was at length acceded to. • A variety of peanuts were examined to prove theft and violence on the part of some of the insurgents ; but little interest attached to their examination, and, indeed, scarcely any sensa tion would have been excited but for a point of law which was raised in the following manner :—A lad of 14, called Aceto, and sharp u a needle, asserted that were he to see them he could recognise those who cut the telegraph. " Let him be put face to face with that man, and asked if he be one," said the Procarator•General, indicating one of the accused. " I protest against it, the law forbids it," mid La Francesca. After some hot discussion it was decided that the boy should be taken round, aid shown the whole number of prisoners. " Per haps the men are dead," said the lad. He made his round, and said that he could not recognise any per son there. " I request," then, said the advocate, " that the persons who cut the telegraph be recorded amongst the dead." The scene out of doors was more striking, and painfully so, than that within. It was raining very heavily, yet as one of our party visited the court for the first time, we all determined to wait and wit ness the several phases of this melancholy spectacle. It is unnecessary to say that the same formalities already described were observed, but the scene was infinitely more poled to-day in consequence of the weather, which seemed to delight in the sufferings of these half-clothed, miserable-looking creatures. Bound two-and-two together, they passed slowly by us, and we followed after. They had not advanced far, however, before one of them fell down as it ap peered in a fit, or it might be from weakness. Still his groans reached us, and we approached the spot where he lay on his back in his light dram, with a heavy rain pouring down upon him. A gendarme cut the rope which bound his wrist to that of his companion, who was ordered to take him on his back and carry him fall half a mile to the prison. He dragged him across the street, propped him against the wall, and thus mounted him ; but the bearer struck me as being as weak as the burthen. We approached still nearer, and saw the poor fellow's month full of blood, yet not one word of pity was uttered, not one act of assistance offered ' • neither gendarme nor soldier put a fi nger to raise the man, whom they seemed to treat as though he were of much less value than a profitable beast. They went slowly on, and must have been wet through by the time they reached the prism. Once the bearer stopped, overcome with fatigue, for the ascent is most difficult, and we gave him charity, which was surlily permitted by a gendarme, who, it is not unlikely, took his portion. " Qui viene we elm good," said an officer, impatiently ; and, looking we saw an old man, lame, very ill, too ill to walk with his fellows, limping through the muddy streets, followed by two soldiers. He had no hat I think, certainly no shoes or stockings, though his feet were wrapped up in dirty rags on account of infirmity. His face was lined with hope less despair. The lest time I saw this man was in court, when his equivocal and criminal letter to his wife was read, expressive of a hope that he should soon see her ; and the grounds of that criminal hops were stated to be that, as he was an exile in Pons& without condemnation, he always hoped for a " grazia." On returning to his seat his groans were heard even by the President, and he was taken off to the hospital on a fellow-prisoner's back. Why was that man thus dragged through the streets in the bitter wind and rain, whilst an affectation of courtesy was used at first towards the foreigners in bringing them down to court in carriages? Alas! the lame and sick old man was only a Neapolitan : " We can do what we like with our own, and we will show our independence of foreign influence." 'Tie a noble resolution, and nobly carried out! The trial of yesterd ay possessed no great features of interest ; the same class of witnesses were ex asked, and similar evidence elicited to prove acts of theft and violence on the part of some of the in surgents. A man called Bello rather gloried in having shot one of the stragglers whilst perfectly harmless, making no resistance, and not committing any act of violence whatever. cello had been alai. an Urban Guard since that time. The advocate for the defence begged that Ws night be held responsible for this murder, and the President said that it would belong to the Prose} rator-General to institute any process. The ab sentee* from illness on this day were 16 ; and, judg ing from their appearance, many others ought to have been in the hospital Altogether there are about 700 prisoners confined in the prison, and on Monday 93 were in hospital. The cause of the malady may be readilr imagined, when I state that the mass of the sufferers are Neapolitans. A Sardinian sailor, who it is feared is in • oonstimption, was asked what was the cause of his illness. His 'newer was, a cold taken from want of clothes, which were not restored to him till lately. Two trifling corrections have to be made in my former letters. The error of the Procurator-General pointed out the other day was in stating as knici and Spezia were beth in the same ,it was of no consequence in which place a mans residence was stated to be. The second correction is this. A prisoner of whom I spoke complained, not of having been beaten again for singing, but for having been pet in the "Camera di punizione," and threatened with another prosecu tion. lie had already received 70 lashes fora first offence, and this of having sung • second time was witho ut foundation. The Procurator- General had not taken the trouble to examine into the matter. I may add to what I said the other day, that the interview of Mr. Lyons with Signor Carafe was simply to present his letters accrediting him here for one specific purpose ; not • *ord, I believe, was said on any other subject. SALERNO, MAIFt! 20. The proceedings of the trial are 'Upended until Monday, and in the interval I give you a report of the last two days. The sanitary state of the pri. goners is represented by the absence of 27 on one day and 26 on the other, with medical certificates in hospital. One man, Mira, was reported dead of consumption, and another was taken out of court to the hospital in a fainting fit. Several English gen tlemen were present on the second day, much to my satisfaction, as many of the things that I report must sound almost as if they• were inventions. Yet you may depend upon them es true. " They are a mess of anew," said my Mends, looking round upon the Neapolitans. Never was starvation more clearly written in the human face. As usual, paper, pens, end ink, were brought to the visitors, who all wrote their names. It is not to be wondered at therefore, that scarcely any but gendarmes or mili tary should appear among the audience. The bud ness of the court consisted on both days in the exa mination of witnesses to prove certain alleged acts of violence, theft, &c. It was evident, moreover, that there was a broad distinction between two clo ses of prisoners. One portion had confined themselves to de manding arms, ammunition, and public money, and paying for what they oonsumed. To these Niootera belonged ; and it is only due to that unfortunate person to state that several witnesses bore testimony to his humanity and his honour. Acts of petty theft and violence seem to have been committed, not by the band, but by worthlese een s= glenfrom it, and such acts were and in one instance punished by the death of the offender. There was but one incident on the first day on which I am inclined to dwell, and that regarded certain papers which had been found on the dead body of Pmacani. Amongst them were some written in numbers and therefore unin telligible; there were others called " atture cam pions " being indeed en alphabet, but deficient in the first three letters. By this alphabet the Procu rator-General had undertaken to interpret the num. hers, and by dint of g uessing and adding three letters to the alphabet, managed to explain the documents uhe willed. The advocate Tajani protests against the acceptance of these papers as evidence, and the prisoner Niootera asserts that they are pure inven tions of the Procurator-General, who begs that the president will insist on the silence of the prisoner, but ea the president does not comply, and the pri soner continues in the same strain, the Procu rator-General becomes greatly excited and pro tests against the inaction of the president. The advocate Carelli, therefore, explains that the reading of those documents was opposed because they were only the invention and the opinion of the Procurator-General. The discussion, which was very warm, lasted an hour and a half, and the court re• tiring, decided unanimously that the papers should be read, but not as evidence. The other remarkable incidents which I have to recite occurred on the second day—.that is, on Thursday last. A wish leas expressed Niootera that a priest should be exa mined as to the mode in which the insurgents at Padilla died. It was necessary to the defence to ask for such an examination (urged the advocate), and it would be conducted in the most legal manna and without personalities. The Procurator-General protested against it, saying, " It is a part of i system to calumniate the public force." The court decided that the desired examination could not be permitted—and, without any violencel, such a decision may be regarded as an acknowledg ment that there is something to conceal. What that something is, is thus explained in the document of Nicoters, which the court refused to receive : " We deliberated about retiring to the mountains, in order to save as many as possible from the massacre of Paden, where, by the military authorities, without any formality of law, about 36 of those who had the misfortune to fall into their bands were shot." The only other incident which I shall record occurred during the examination of a Cape Urbano, called Gallo. " Signor President," said a prisoner, let me speak one word. That witness took me to be shot; but I told him that the ' fucilazione' was all over now. He then took all my clothes, even to my shoes and stockings." Another man, alleging the excuse d deafness came up to the b a r, and said, " Signor Pre. sident, that man robbed me of seven piastres, and gave me 80 ducats worth of blows." A third shouted out, " He is an assassin r and another, " He nearly broke my neck." The Procurator-General said the court made no note of these denunciations. Al he left the court, the witness was hissed aad whistled at by some of the prisoners ; and the President checked these impertinences, saying they would net assist their defence. Much has been said of the good spirit prevailing in these parts of the country. A little light is thrown on the subject by a question put to one witness about the previous state of Pe dals. About two months before the insurrection, four were arrested by order of the police, one of them for carrying a letter found upon him into the Basilicata. - There were meetings in the house of the Priset of Padilla, of persons attendibili, but the witness did not know whether they were for criminal objects. About six months before, two monks of Osservantini bad been dismissed as sus pected persons, and in the house of that order in Padilla a man had been arrested with aspirins papers. Fourteen of the urban guard too had bees dismissed a month before, for having communise Lions with persons under the surveillance of the police. Thus in this country there is a chess d persons tabooed, by holding intercourse with whoa any man becomes himself tabooed. A kind of poli tical leprosy prevails, and how extensively God only knows. Reporting, as lam in duty bound to do, and that fearlessly, whatever I hear and see, I cannot but repeat my acknowledgmeats of the personal courtesy which I continue to receive from the court.
