Tits English press a seldom deliberately unjust in its criticism of distinguished public servants; and if betrayed into a hush judgment, founded on a misconception of facts, it rarely attempts to justify its blunder by abusing the victim of its toj•stios. But • leading contemporary has daring the last two days made aid repeated a violent and uncalled-for attack on one of the most experienced and meritorious officers in the public service—an attack, we venture to say, which the public, that has profited so largely by his labour', will not easily forget or keens. Then is hardly a single family is the conntry that is net directly indebted to Mr. HowlAno WWI pensuriag end laborious exertions in the national work ofpostal re form. He has been seined for twenty you is devis ing and carrying cute system of cheap and expedition communication, and during that time has effected a revolution in the department over which he presides such as is rarely accomplished io the lifetime of an individual. Yet the Times, on the very slightest pro rotation, thinks it becoming to speak of this public servant as a conspirator against our national rights and liberties. On the faith of representation that are not only erroneous but false, it ranks him with Austrian informers and French spies. His poet improvements to the machinery of the Post-anew* stigmatised as tyrannical " caprices." We have letter-boxes attached to our hall doors; therefore the Englishman's house is no longer his castle. London is divided into postal districts which involve " the possession of immense local knowledge, and of " acquaintance with arbitrary geography," in order to direct letters aright : therefore the liberty of the subject is destroyed. Finally, there is • right and a wrong way of directing newspapers, end Mr. HOWLAND HILL having recommended the former, is represented as an official despot, inning his " ukase" from St. Martin's-Le-Orend. When be writes to explain the actual facts of the misrepre sented cur, our contemporary treats him as a presumptuous upstart which it is its business not to reason with or even to listen to, but to put down. Now, even supposing the facts really were u represented by our contemporary, this is hardly the tone to adopt towards • most meritorious public servant. All servants of the Crown are of course amenable to criticism, and mast ex pect to be criticised. But some consideration is due to those who through a long course of arduous duty have proved themselves not simply servants of the Crown, but benefactors of the public. Distinguished merit may at least claim to be treated with common courtesy. The zeal, energy, and public spirit which have been tested for twenty years, which have carried blessings to every home throughout the country, and won the gratitude of the nation, constitute, indeed, no immunity from censure. But these qualities uniformly manifested through such a term of ISTVISIN are a lair plea in favour of inquiry and examination before a sweep ing verdict of condemnation is pronounced. In the present case, however, there is really no ground for such a verdict at all. The charge brought against the l'o-rx tNTILIVOLWZRAI. is simply !atm. An in quisitorial It is alleged, was issued to the employ,* at the Liverpool Pat-office, by the authority of the POINTMASTIM.GCSERAL. Th;e is untrue. No circular was seat to the clerks of the Liverpool office. A confidential note containing the questions referred to, was addressed by the local Postmaster to a few of them for a special purpose. Whether the Dote be wise or foolish, innocently or so criminally inquisitorial that it is the duty of the pries, in the select language of our con temporary, "to drag it before the bar of public opinion and brand it as intolerable,' it was written sod sent without the knowledge of the P.,,tißiteu-Gtxtaat. He knew nothing what ever 01 the pretended circular. It is something more than ?spearing on the part of the Times, therefore, to speak of it as an "outrage on the right of private life perpetrated by the Post-office lie .. partinent t" and to repeat in various phrase that Mr. RowLANI. HILL has no ri4ht to torture the *eremite under his control." He has not done any thing of the kind. The Liverpool Postmaster acted on hi. own responsibility, and he has been called upon by his superior for an explanation of his con duct. If Mr. Howl-inn HILL has not yet publicly pronounced soy verdict on the ac', it is fair to sur poor it ill betimes it is still under investigation. 11 by, under these circumstances, hasten to con demn a public seresat, and persist in reiterating an odious charge, when the facts on which it emu have been explicitly denied? If our contemporary has forgotten Mr. Hoe LAND Hit CO great and memo rahle service*, the country has not. There will be no sympathy with this hasty and groundlese outcry agaiust the man whose splendid administrative re. forms in one of the most important and (w -reathing departments of the public service have won the gratitude and admiration not only of England but of the whole civilised world. The characterises these reforms as " caprices," tyrannical caprices to which we have rabasitted is the past, bat can really sabmit no longer. It bee enumerated those by which we *enure the prompt and rapid delivery of our letters. but it has omitted some of the more =pee. taut item& of hie tyrannical administration. There is tl.e •• caprice" by which he has increased the facility for traasmittiog smell sums of money from one part of the kingdom to another, so that the num ber ul mousy orders lammed has increased within a THE EXPRESS, THUitSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6. Bow years nearly forty-fold. And there is the ; crowning " caprice " of all, by which we now pay a peony for sending a letter a hundred miles instead of ninepence or a shilling. The payment of that heavy sum was a time-honoured custom to which we had almost a prescriptive right. But the ruthless head of the reformer has swept away that clumsy and expensive process. Other despotic caprices have tended to render the work of reform completes se that we now have our letters carried and deli vered with unexampled cheapness, expedition, and punctuality. It is no doubt too bad. We are the miserable victims of wholesale reform, and naturally avenge our outraged rights in a bunt of objurgation against the author of oar calamities. taw Court.

The French Foreign-office gives oat that within the lut few days Prussia has been persuaded to I separate herself from English policy in Italy, and that she is now disposed to support France in the efforts of the latter to settle the question of the Duchies. It is hinted in the same quarter that England only leans to Victor Emmanuel because she expects to make a commercial treaty with him, which would be a second edition of the Methuen treaty, which delivered over Portugal bound hand and foot to England, and would he " ruinous to French commer,a." Poor French oom melee ! It must be in a very sickly state with all its protection, if it can be so easily rained. These same kind friends of Italy say slim that if Tuscany should be annexed to Piedmont, Leghorn will be nthrly sacrificed to Genoa, and they pretend that the Leghorn people have taken the alarm all at once, and have quite changed their opinions within the last few days. You must be prepared to hear the reiterated assertion that " genuine public opinion" in Central Italy is altogether opposed to annexation. There is an extensively organised conspiracy to pro mulgate this misrepresentation. The Emperor's departure from Biarritz is now said to be positively flied for October 10. Their Majesties propose to pass the evening of the 10th, and • part of the morning of the 11th, at Bordeaux. It is very positively asserted that the Emperor having been respectfully offered his choice of • banquet or a ball, has elected to accept the latter. It is to be inferred, therefore, that he does not expect to have any satisfactory materials ready for a political speech. The ball will be given in the theatre in which the &mom speech, " L'Empire c'est la Pair," was pronounced in 1862; but a ball hardly affords an opportunity for speechifying. . . - It is announced from Toulon that the French squadron now off the Isles of liyeres is ordered to hold itself in readiness to pat to sea immediately for an unknown destination. lam told privately, but I only mention the rumour with reline, that it Is going to Naples. _ _ The fact of the Sardinian ambaseador at Rome having received his passports, upon which the Pattie has thrown doubt for two days successively, is now admitted by that journal to be positive. Many recent letters from Italy speak of great agitation both in the Neapolitan Stalin and in the Legations. Count Waleweki is expected in Paris from Biarritz on Saturday. Baron Bi.;nier, the French ambassa dor to the Court of Naples, has arrived here on leave of absence. The Bourse continues firm. The Rents roes 10c. for cash and be. for account, closing at 69fr. 76c. and 69fr. 80e. As quotations approach 70fr. there is a disposition to realise, it being supposed that there will be a great struggle before that figure is well got over. Mob;lier wag lfr. 25c. lower. In railways there is scarcely any change. The Prefect of the sillier, with the approbation of the Minister of the Interior, has given the Memorial de Cdllier of September 29 a warning, for an article insulting to the King of Sardinia, " a sovereign in alliance with France." It appears from the text of the warning, that the provincial journal, which I suppose is a village Univers, called Victor Emmanuel a " phantom king." The Bishop of Orleans ought certainly to have a warning for the following rabid sally in his contri bution to the ultramontane demonstration now in course of execution by the French bishops, pursuant to orders from Rome.

I hear she is to be broken up. M. MAZZINI AND KING VICTOR ENIMANUEL. The Turin correspondent of the Paris Prase writes: I have seen • very =rim letter from Marini to King Victor Emmanuel. It Is dated Florence, September 20. The celebrated agitator was lately in Florence for three weeks, during all which time he evaded the surveillance of the police. It is now well known thanthe object of his visit was to recommend his old sapprtere to rally to the situation brought about by the march of events. His letter removes all doubt on the subject. M. Marani declares th►t be frankly accepts the policy of King Victor Emmanuel. He is willing to renounoe his personal opinions touching the form of government in Italy, end if the King can and will make Italy "one" and "free," he promises him the support of the democratic fraction which he repreaents. As might naturally be expected the main object of his letter is to urge the King onward, and, as hotelman, several Limas "to dare." "Sire," he says, "you are strong—stmeg with all the invincible power of • people of twenty-six millions unanimous in the pursuit of one object. You are stronger than any other prince now living In Europe, because no other ie so entirely supported by the love of a nation se you •re." Iris a very remarkable Wing that Y. Martini, who is so often taxed for e,rotiam, should on three several °minions have offered to abdicate his leadership in order to leave the task of delivering Italy to a sovereign. He wrote in this view to Charles Albert, then to Pius IL., and now to Victor Emmanuel. For the Brat time for many a day Han alei will see • publication of his well•received by the Italian preps.

TO TEE EDITOR OP THE =ERRS . have the pleasure to inform yon that the purchase of our landlord's interest in the build ing occupied by this institution has been this day completed, and Lord Brougham sad his co•trustee are thus released from their liability to pay a rent of 2291. per annum for more than 100 years. Thi gratifying result is in a great measure due to the invaluable assistance which we obtained from the preen at an early period of our labour.. But although much has been accom plished, much still remains to be done, as the subscriptions amounted to about 2,0001. only out of the 3,5001. required. sad the 1,5001. additional having been raised by mortgagee Lord Broughtun and his co-trustee have been obliged to enter Into a covenant for payment of the amount. la order to complete the work which they have thus far carried on IRIC. mesfully, the committee propose to raise further subscriptions sufficient to pay off this debt of 1,5001. and the necessarily large legal expenses incurred by the trustee', and in this effort they trust to receive a contlananoe of the powerful amistanr which the press has hitherto afforded them. 1 have the pleasure to mate that the institution is la an im proving condition. There are now upwards of 340 rub scribers, besides several hundred persons attending chosen on geometry, both-keeping, French, Latin, Genesee midmost* English grammar, drawing, and many other breaches of *location. Thera can be no doubt that the utility of the institution will be greatly increased now that it hes been liberated by the generosity of the subscribers from the payment of 1231. of annual rent; 751. more would be extinguished by the payment of the mortgage debt.-1 am, Sec., on behalf of the Donation Fond Committee, Oct. 4.

A. Boyd presiding. It appeared that the assess ment of the Great Western property in the parish was valued by surveyors on the part of the parish at 30,0001., while surveyors on the part of the company estimated the value at 14,00e1. The vestry, with a view to a settlement, offered to Si the amount at 22,0001, bat the company had refused to agree to more than 16,0001. It was stated that the mom , meat of the Iraondon and North Western property in the , pariah of St. Pancras, after great litigation, was tined at 18,0001., and that if they could get the assomment fixed at 20,0001. for the Greet Western they would be satisfied.

RAILWAY. —Au accident on the works of the Lon don, Chatham, end Dover Railway, near Canterbury, oc curred on Monday evening, and it is feared that it will re sult fatally. A labourer. named Charles Brown, was at week in the cutting near the Old Dover-rood, in the parish of St. Mary Bradt's, when he mimed hie footing and fad into the tramway just as some loaded thinks of earth were pining along, and before their progress could be stopped two of them lused over the poor fellow, fracturing his right thigh and eft leg, and also injuring one of his hands. A door was pro cured, and the injured man was promptly removed to the Kent sad Canterbury Hospital, where he was quickly et tended by Mr. Major, jun., and the house surgeon, several other medical nten shortly sitter arriving at the hospital. Bat little hopes are entertained of his recovery. He I. but 32 year of age, and is married. IMPROVED APPLICATION OY MOTIVE POWER.— On Theeday afteronou a trial was made in tte dock of the Bristol Society of Merchant Venturers, of a model vend., to which an invention, whkiri has been patented by Mears.

Pro theroe, of the Soctety of Merchant Venturers, Mr. W. P. King, African merchant, and • number of other gentlemen Interested in science and commerce, were present. The model which Wes tzhibited, and which was propelled with out screw or paddle, was 10 feet in length, 1 foot 8 inches in breadth, and 1 foot in depth. The principle adopted ty the inventors dispenses with all esteem! 'machinery, shafts* cranks, bearing., i.e., end thus avoids the enormous expense incurred in constructing vessebt to receive such apparatus. It can be applied to ships already built without alteneg their and as an anziliary power to selling remade it will be very valuable. By a pimple arrangement, in case of leek the whole power of the engine may be applied to pump the water out, propelling the vessel, if need be, at the same time ; while in the event of that most dreadful celsinity at sea—Ste—the same power could be used to extinguish the flames.
