LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 9. TO OUR RIADERS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. A !ate edition of the Express in published every evening during the racing meson, containing the results of the day's races. Ir may be remembered that some months ago Mr. Pvis, a county magistrate and a gentleman of property, was killed by en accident on the Great Northern Railway. An action was brought by Mr. Pile' widow, and • verdict was returned by the jury for 13,0001. This was not the ordinary case of a professional man losing his life, or of a wife and family being deprived of the source from which they derived their means of living. Mr. PIM was a man of fortune, enjoying an income from land of some 4,0001. a year. By his death the fortune was neither increased nor diminished—it was merely re distributed. According to the terms of the marriage settlement the wife became entitled to 1,0001. • year, and each of the eight children eame into possession of 1001. • year, whilst the eldest son came into possession of an income of 4,0001. It is obvious, indeed, that the death of Mr. Prx, although • benefit to the eldest son, proved • serious loss to his wife and the other children. The jury estimated this loss at 13,0001., which was accordingly apportioned amongst the wife and the eight children, the eldest eon being altogether excluded from any portion. This result was far from satisfactory to the Railway Company, and ac cordingly • motion was made in the Queen's Bench for the purpose of having the question thoroughly considered, and that motion has been granted. The question is both interesting and important, the more so because this is the first case in which an action brought under such cir cumstances has involved damages so considerable. It is well known that before the Act of Par liament which bears the name of the late Lord Caxrsew. wee peened, the legal maxim that a personal action dies with the person continued in force. Under that system, if a man sustained an injury by the neglect of another and lived, he was entitled to receive compensation from the person who inflicted it ; but if the injury was so severe as to deprive him of life, he way no longer entitled to any compensation whatever. This was unjust and absurd : an injury does not cease to be an injury by ita excessive severity. To remedy this defect, therefore, it was enacted that " when " ever the death of a person shall be caused by " such wrongful act, neglect, or default as " would (if death had not ensued) have entitled " the party injured to maintain an action for " damages, the person who would have been liable " to such action may be sued by the executor, for " the benefit of the wife, husband, parent, and " child of the deceased ; and the jury may give " damages proportionable to the injury resulting " from such death, to be divided among the par " ties for whose benefit the action is brought." Accordingly, Mrs. I've brought an action, for the benefit of herself and children, because if Mr. PYX had lived he might have brought an action against the Railway, and because by his death their means of living were reduced. Now, the question is, whether this is the mean ing of the Act of Parliament, or if it is the meaning, whether it ought not to be in some degree altered. Considering the mere justice of such a claim as that made by Mrs. Pvis, it is diflicult to see upon what it rests. The death of her husband left his property undilu;nished. Had Mr. Prim been so minded be might have disposed of his fortune in such a manner as to have left his widow and his children in the very same position which they occupied during his life. If they were left in a worse position it was not in consequence of the railway accident, but in consequence of Mr. Pre basing neglected to make any disposition of his ' land. It is quite intelligible that the Railway Company should make up whatever actual loss of property they may have occasioned, but it is by no means so intelligible that they should be made to repair the neglect or injustice of a man who has im properly. distributed his property. If it were proposed to punish the Railway Company by fine, the mode in which the fine ought to be distributed might be open to question. But in a civil action the actual lose directly due to the accident ought to be the measure of damage ; and the liability of a railway company ought not to depend upon the question whether or not the person killed has made a judicious settlement. What would be thought of a man who left a will in these terms : that his pmparty should be cbstributcd in certain propor tions amongst his family, but that if he perished by an accident it should all go to the eldest son ? And yet it is obvious that the person who made such a will would, under the present construction of Lord CAMPBELL . % Act, be acting with eminent sagacity ; for, if he did happen to perish by an accident, the person or the company responsible for his death would be liable to provide for his family. It is difficult to suppose that the learned lawyer who drew the Act seriously contemplated so absurd a conclusion. Nor, indeed, as it seems to us, do the words of the Act imply any such cones+• (pence. The Act speaks of the right which the THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1861. person killed by the injury would have had if he had lived. The natural construction is that the person who brings the action after his death is to occupy precisely the same position which the deceased man would have occupied, and is to be entitled to the same privileges, neither more nor less. A professional man's friends therefore would, of course, be en titled to recover from a railway company damages commensurate with the leas sustained by his being unable to continue his business. But as the same person would not himself be entitled to any da mage in respect to any portion of his realized property, such as land or stock, it should seem that the same rule ought to be applied even if the injury resulted in death. In short, for the loss of property, or of the source from which pro perty springs, compensation is justly due ; but, for a change of circumstances occasioned, not by the destruction, but by the redistribution of misting property, no compensation ought to be allowed. In the former case loss is inevitable to the family or friends of the person killed ; in the latter case the loss is not inevitable, be cause the property remains, and a different distri bution of the property would have prevented it. The law against public companies is surely by so means lenient. Besides the liability to • cri minal indictment, which may result in • conviction of murder against some official, they are made to insure the life of every passenger who chooses to present 'himself. If they are compelled to carry horses and valuables, their liability is at least re stricted to • certain sum, unless extra payment is made. But if the Lose CHANCELLOR or the Marguis of Winning:az& were to insist upon travelling in an excursion train, where the danger must of necessity be greater, there is no power in the railway company to refuse so inconvenient a passenger. This is neither just nor even con. sistent. But if the case of the late Mr. Pint is to be maintained, shareholders in railways must be prepared to place the widows and younger children of country gentlemen in the same position which they occupied during the lifetime of their husbands or fathers who have chosen to leave the whole of their property to their eldest sons. Romney, Western Virginia, and captured three cannons, together with the camp equipage of the enemy. General Fremont reports to the War Department that his body guard charged 2,000 Confederates in their camp at Springfield, and drove them from the town, where they hoisted the Federal flag and then retired on their reinforcements. The commander of the body guard reports that he had only 150 men engaged. General Fremont's advanced guard was approaching Springfield. The New York journals assert that Garibaldi has written a letter to the American consul at Antwerp, in which he regrets his inability to proceed to America at present, but doubts not that the Union cause will shortly triumph. Should the war continue Garibaldi will overcome all obstacles to his departure, and will hasten to America for the defence of a people who are dear to him. Tho City of Baltimore hea arrived out. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH TO HALIFAX. NEW YORK, Ocr. 31. In the case of the privateer Savannah, the jury were discharged, being unable to agree upon a verdict. Advices from Havanna confirm the news of the arrival there of Messrs. Mason and Midden, tho Confederate Commissioners, and state that they intended to leave for Europe on the Bth of November, by the English mail steamer. The great naval expedition sailed from Hampton Roads on the 29th of October. The rumour that the clerk of the commodore had absconded with the sealed orders proves to be unfounded. General Henderson has capitulated, with 400 rebels, in Missouri, ou condition of their laying down their arms. According to the latest accounts from Kentucky, the Federal' were gaining ground.

The Official Gazette of Turin publishes a royal decree convoking, as already stated, the Italian par liament for the 20th. A Turin letter of the sth says : Baron iticasoli hp again charged with the administration of three departments—the Interior, Foreign Affairs, and Justice, the latter during the time which M. Miglietti, keeper of the seals, is to peas at Naples. Of eight ministers, only five are now at Turin M. Peruzzi is in Tuscany, M. de Santis in the Marches, and M. Miglietti in the South, as just stated. The ;cabinet, being thus incomplete, abstain. from dealing with great political measures, and only cur rent of airs are disposed of regularly. Two Ministers occupy themselves with the business of their departments, without caring for what is said about a crisis or obstacles of different kinds--namely, .the Ministers of War and of Marine. The former is engaged in making formidable armaments; every day he gives new orders, and labours to increase the number of soldiers. The Minister of Marine, on his side, is striving to augment the maritime force of Italy, and to raise her to the rank of a naval power. In addition to the iron-cased vessels ordered is America, in England, and at Toulon, he has directed that two frigates, to be called the Gaeta end the Melanie, shell be built in the southern dockyards. There will thus be not fewer than ten iron-plated vessels of war in course of construction for the kingdom of Italy. For the Italian navy a large and safe port is required, es neither Ancona, nor Greta, nor Genoa, nor !Naples, can be reprded as suitable military ports. Accordingly, the transforma tion of the Gulf of La Spezzia into such a port has long been spoken of, but hitherto nothing has been done towards the realisation of the project. The Minister of Marine has, however, decided that the works shall be commuted. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. A letter from Vienna, dated the sth inst., says : By the Imperial rescript which the Emperor has just ad dressed to Count Forgach, his Majesty entrusts to Count Palffy, with the title of Lieutenant, the direction at the al. fairs of Hungary, anillsys downthe regulations according to which the new functionaries are to replace the former 00111. In the Comitata, the Counts Palatine, or, in their default, will be celled upon to exercise the fuoctioos of governors, and will have to obey the orders blew' from the Lieutenancy at Buda. The administrative department, as well as the judicial authorities, will be dependent upon those heads of Coroi tate, and the mayors of towns will also be tinder their immediate orders. The penal code actually in •igour in Hungary, being only spy/if:able to certain offences of minor gravity, it will un dergo • complete reform, and be made suitable to the wants of the moment in precise clauses. The Imperial reerript must, nevertheless, be considered as an exceptional and purely temporary measure, rendered serenity by the hostile attitude of the authorities and as sealbliss actually existing in Hungary, an indispensable losa- Enna marts the Patent of the 20th of October is to be con sidered a dead letter. An attempt is now made to re-establish order, which has been so much disturbed by wise and decisive measures, to put an end to the excitement which hu seized upon a por• tion of the Hungarian people, and which mightlead to the most disastrous complications. This loiter concludes as follows : Them are not repremive measures, nor is it • state of siege which the Emperor of Austria has just proclaimed, but administrative measures which, we repeat it, are purely of • transitory nature, of • description to obvi►te the obstacles to the development of the great principles of well-understood liberty which pre vail in regenerated Austria. There is therefore reason to hope that, within a short time, circumstances will allow the convocation of a new Diet equal to its mission, which will participate loyally in the furtherance of a work the object of which is to confer upon the various populations that compose this vast empire the same benefits, the same pre rogatives, and the same liberties. What no ooe oan deny now, and the bist Imperial reccript gives an evident proof of it, is the firm intention of his Apostolic Majesty not to deviate from the line of conduct which that monarch has traced oat for himself by granting constitutional institutioos to those countries. HUNGARY. A letter from Comorn , Hungary, of the 2ud, says : The ordinary monthly assembly of the cornitat was to have taken place at tea o'clock this morning, all the neces sary arrangements having been made on the previous even ing at a conference convoked by the vice-gespan Sarkosy. Scarcely, however, had the member of the conference sepa rated, than a detachment of troop surrouuded the hotel of the aciaitat, sad the commandant, Lieutenant-Colonel _ . Tattoo, presented himself to the vice-gespan, and declared that if the projected meeting took place he should be obliged, by order from his superiors, to &solve it by force. The vice-gespan replied that the amembly had been °revoked, and that it must take plan, whatever might happen. In the morning the greater part of the members of the commission and of the inhabitants of the town assembled, and entered the ball at 9 o'clock. At 10, the cry was seised, " Hen are the troops I" and the soldiers were found to ►ave surrounded the hotel of the rt. mint and barred the West Lieutenant•('olonel --- Tarim uttered the room renewed fee the vicelespan, but he was seen in the ha'l, and at the IMMO instant a Unman dorm shout was raised. At that moment, the ex-president of the Lower Chamber of Hungary, M. Ohiesy, came for. ward and requested the public to keep quiet, prudent con duct being, under the circumstances, the lint duty of every patriot. The president then took the chair, and the heutenant•colonel remained behind the door. Cheers almolt interminable saluted the smitten' u he took his place. He announced that the armed force was present, and that be bad received the order of dissolution. "At this moment," said he, " when we have so other arms at our disposal but the coded oar lawn it Is impossible for se to continue oev deliberations." "It is impirsible !" was echoed from all sides. " Let us retire." The President then took leave of the public, and announced that the corps of functionaries, seeing the impossibility of doing their duties, had all of them resigned. The public then left the hall, singing the Sanwa, and loon Idiot die. persed with cries of "Pijin a Magyar, boar!" (God save Hungary). (azurite's TZLIGILIOL AMERICA. NEW YORK, Ocr. 30. (Per Arabia rid Bootee and Queenstown.) The Secretary of the Confederate Treasury has ad dressed a circular to the commissioners of the Pro• duce Loan, in which he announces that the subscrip tions to the loan are confined solely to the pro ceeds of the sale of produce, the Confederate government declining to exercise any control over the produce itself. The secretary repudiates as a dangerous experiment any purchase of, or advance on, cotton by government fur the relief of the planters, whom he urges to apply to the banks for advances. He further recommends the planters to make immediate preparations for planting the winter crops of corn. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune states that the Federal army will probably go into winter quarters at Washington. The Albany Evening Journal thinks it probable that the Federal (?) army will shortly make a for ward movement on Washington. It is rumoured that General Scott's health will compel him to retire almost immediately. General Sherman has issued a general order to the navel expeditionary corps, which says that the Federal army will make a descent on the Southern States, under circumstances requiring great cool nem, vigilance, and intrepidity. The captains of the transports received sealed orders on the 28th. The fleet will sail immediately. The correspondent of the New York Tribune at Hampton Roads announces that the secretary of the commander of the Federal naval expedition to the South had absconded with the maps, charts, and the commander's sealed orders from the Feder& Navy Department. The Tribune, however, dis credits this news. General Killey hu routed the Confederates at COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Oar. 31. Exchange—Banker's bills, 107 i. Stocks steady.

She landed all mails except those for Liverpool and four passengers, and proceeded at 8.30 a.m. All welL SOUTIIAMPTON, Nov. 9. The North German Lloyd's steamer Bremen, Captain Wessels, from Now York on the 26th ult., has arrived off Cowes. She brings 238 passengers for Bremen and 19 for Southampton and Havre. The Bremen was detained at sea two days in con sequence of a slight accident which occurred to her machinery on the 28th ult. Her news has been anticipated. FRANCE AND ROME. PARIS, Nov. 9. The Moniteur, in its bulletin of to-day, says : "Several journals, in announcing that General Goyon has been named Commander-in-Chief of the Corps of Occupation at Rome, have endea voured to find in this appointment a signification which there is nothing to warrant. The Emperor simply wished to place the title of the commander of the French forces on a level with his real position. This does not, however, alter the cha racter of our mission at Rome, which is essentially pacific and protective." The bulletin of the Monitnir also contains the following :—" A report made by the commander of the 7th military division, states that no detach ment of the troops under his command bas pene trated into the Valley of Dappes, and that he has confined himself to taking up a position at the extremity of the French frontier, in order to observe the movements of the Swiss gendarmes." THE EXPEDITION TO MEXICO. The Ccnistilutionnel has the following : The naval division which will sail in a few days for Yezioo consists of the manof•war MauEn►, Commander Ross, four frigates, a corvette, fire gunboats, an aria), and a cer tain number of transports. The squadron is under the com mand of Bear-Admiral Jurien de la Graviere, the heed of whose staff is Captain Thomasset. A portion of the squadron will sail from Toulon, the remainder from Brest. They will meet at Vera Cruz. The number of troops embarked will be about 3,00 men, comprising 500 louvres and a detachment of cavalry ; the hones will be procured in Mexico. MONTENEGRO. TRIESTE, Nov. 8. Letters received here from Ragusa deny the rumours of a defeat of the Turkish army by the insurgents at Piva. Nulcalovich, the chief of the insurgents, has set a price of 1,000 sequins on the head of Omer Pavia.. Great exultation prevails among the insurgents. The necessary hinds for carrying on military operations are being sent to the insurgents from different quarters. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, vu TRIESTE, Nov. 3. The Sultan has made a two days' visit to Isuiidt, and has laid down the keels of some new ships. A meeting of the foreign representatives has been held at the residence of Sir Henry Bulwer for the purpose of considering the question of Mon tenegro. No decision was conic to. The Grand Vizier was present at the meeting. There has been a severe storm in the Black Sea, attended with loss of life and shipping. The news from Syria that Daoud Pasha had become a French agent causes great discontent. THE BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS. 13OUTHAMPTON, Nov. 9. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Eosin, with the heavy portion of the Bombay and Mauritius mails has arrived. She brings 64 passengers, 2,5601. in specie, and 1,335 packages of cargo.

The Constitutio*nel is quite mistaken in throwing a doubt upon the recognition of the kingdom of Italy by Belgium. The inference which it draws from the wording of the decree appointing the new minister, M. Henry Soloyns, to the " court of Turin," that the King of the Belgians means to make a restriction analogous to that made by the King of Prussia when ho received the Italian en voy at his coronation, merely as the representative of King Victor Emmanuel, is erroneous. M. Boloyns is described by the Belgian Moniteur aa our resident minister " at the court of Lisbon," and he is appointed resident minister "at the court of Turin " on precisely the same footing—Turin being the seat of the King of Italy's government. The Opinion Nationale protests against the in sinuations in a recent article of the Pays, the sub stance of which was forwarded by telegraph to Lon don, that dissensions exist between the two Italian patriots--Ricasoli and Ratazzi. At the Bourse to-day, the expected news that the Bank of England had lowered its discount, though in a great measure "discounted," was fol lowed by some animation in the market. The Rents rose 10c., but the rise was not maintained, the closing prices being 68fr. 60c. (with a fall of 15c.) for cash, and 681 r. 75c. (yesterday's price) for account. Mobilier is without change. The Italian Loan, deserted by speculation, but rather inquired for as an investment, fell 16c. The only important variation in railway shares was a fall of 6f r. 25c. in Lyons. The general opinion is that the Bank of France will not follow the example of the Bank of England in lowering its discount. M. Missis' appeal to the Court of Cessation will come on to be heard either on Nov. 28 or Dec. 6. His advocate, Di Rendu, intends to submit eight distinct reasons to show that the sentence against him was illegal. The most remarkable and novel, of the moyens de cassation is that the judge of in struction had no right to delegate his powers to a person who was not a magistrate, and that conse quently a judgment manifestly grounded upon the report of an accountant, which the judge had no means of checking, cannot stand. In July last M. Gauthier, a scholastic pro fessor, was tried by the correctional police for having in his possession, on his return from a visit to England, three copies of a pamphlet by the Duke d'Aumale, entitled " A Letter to Prince Napoleon on the History of France." The tribunal, presided by M. Rohault de Fleury, decided, in con formity with a recent celebrated judgment (in re Chemin) in the eastern provinces, that the mere pos session of pamphlets (as distinguished from news papers, the introduction of which into the country in prohibited) was no offence. The Appeal Court of Paris, however, decided yesterday, for reasons not not yet published, that M. Gauthier must be held guilty of the terrible offence, in imperial eyes, of colportage, or the unauthorised distribution of some thing written, and, reversing the judgment of the court below, it sentenced M. Gauthier to pay 100 fr. fine and costa.

Early this morning much excitement was caused on the Liverpool Exchange in consequence of the announe► meet that " the City of Agra, from Bombay. is on fire in the Albert Dock." As this dock is almost exclusively used by large first-class ships, principally in the East India and China trade, and surrounded by large warehouses, in which are stored immense quantities of general produce--cotton, wool, tea, sugar, rum, hemp, &c.—there was much occasion for anxiety. The City of Agra only arrived in the Mersey on Tuesday, from Bombay, which port she left on the 28th of June. She had a large and valuable general cargo on board, consisting of about 5,000 bales of Surat cotton, and a quantity of hemp, wool, and seeds. The vessel is com paratively new, and built of iron, and a good sailer. She is owned in Liverpool by Messrs. Coupland and Co., and we beliave that the ship and cargo are fully covered by the uoderwriters. So far es we can learn, the vessel went into the Albert Dock yesterday, and the unloading of her was to have coot' menced this morning. However, at about nine o'clock, when the main hatch was unbattened, a thick volume of smoke ascended, and the smell clearly indicated that the cotton was on fire. The hatch TM at once battened down, sod the vessel hauled out into the Albert Basin, so as to be clear of alt other ships, in the event of the fire reaching the upper deck and rigging. While the vessel wag being hauled out a host of riggers were set to work, all the sails unbent, the running rigging " unrigged," the boats, cabin furniture, and all moveable deck equipments, taken on shore. In the meantime the alarm was given to the fire police staticio, and the dock and West of England fire-engines were shortly in attendance. On the vessel being brought alongside the quay, stages were immediately constructed, placed on board, and the process of discharging commenced. On the hatches being again uncovered several Lose pipes were inserted, and the water poured in. The deck was also out up in five or six places, into which hose pipes were likewise introduced, and every possible effort made to subdue the fire. Now com menced a scene of the most exciting nature. As the bales of cotton were hoisted from the mouth of the hatchway, the smoke became more dense, and those at work below appeared to suffer a great deal. In the course of about an hour upwards of 20 men—dock porters and police 0.11011111-• were brought on deck in a state of insensibility, and restore. titer had to be applied to each. As it was known that the third officer was below, and as he had been down for ►lout two hours, it began to be generally rumoured' that he was dead. This unfortun►tely proved but too true, for about half-past 12 his body was found. It was immediately taken on deck, and life was found to be extinct. The deceased, whose name was Charles Walsh, was a fine young fellow of about 22 or 23 years of ace. Several of those who had been in the hold were so utterly prostrated by suffocation that they had to be re moved in cabs for medical attendance, Shortly after one o'clock the fire appeared to have been subdued, but still water continued to be plentifully plied into the hold, in order to reader a further outbreak of the fire impossible. Sims the burnisg of the celebrated clipper ship James Baines, in tM Huskisson Dock, there has never been more anxiety eviaced and excitement caused than by this event, the only difference being that the James Baines was totally destroyed, while the City of Agra, as far es regards her hull and deeding rigging, is untouched. The damage done to the cargo cannot at present be as certained. LORD MAYOR'S SHOW. (TIES DAY.) The pageantry by which the Lord Mayor of London is publicly installed for the year was potted this morning ; but, in consequence of its being the second mayoralty of the Dame individual, the interest attaching to the occasion was less than ordinary. The weather was exceedingly favourable, the mist of the morning having yielded to the rays of the sun, and the atmosphere bans, for November, remarkably clear, while the temperature was not too cold for persons even of acing: health to stand in the street as spectators. It is ea old complaint among City tradesmen that this ceremony is &seri. ous interruption to business, and that of to-day by formed no exception. The majority of the shops in the line of procession were wholly or partially closed, and many of them were occupied by spec taton ; the balconies and shop windows being alike devoted to this purpose. In the streets benches, chairs, and other supporta—a misnomer, no doubt, in many ass—were offered for hire, but with small swoon. The vendors of swats and views of the show, probably offeredmany times previously,eppeared to ply their teats more profitably. A group of acrobats, evidently not disciples of Biondi°, were also taking advantage of the oc. cask°. The procession started from the Guildhall at about half. psi eleven o'clock, in the subjoined order : Polies Constables to claw the way.
