Last night Madame Orli made her farewell ap pearance on our Italian Opus hoards, As might be ex pected on such an ocesairm, the theatre was crowded in every part, and the demosistratioso of admiration and regret on the part of the audience were as warm and even enthu siastic as the fair prima doom herself could desire, while she, on her part, exerted herself with a degree of power and effect which made them feel the full extent of their loss in the departure of the needed.' artist who has reigned so long an the queen of the lyric stage. As the curtain fell a consi derable time after midnight we can only at present say briefly, that the performances consisted of the first act of Norma, and the first sad third acts of the Ihogiumbets ; that in her acting she displayed all the feeling, rimy, and grandeur of her brightest days, vain@ she sang with the grace, beauty, simplicity of style, and passionate expression for which she has always been unrivalled. When she first presented hermit in the character of Norma, she was received with reiterated peals of applause prolonged for several minutes ; and when the curtain finally fell at the end of the great scene which closes the third act of the lief/unto'', the house wee is a tumult of excitement. She was called three neural times before the curtain, and each time minted with shouts and acclamations, showers of bouquets, and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. Sho was evidently much affected and agitated, and, when she retired for the last time, seemed scarcely able to support herself. It is indeed no wonder that strong feeling should exist On both sides. The largest portion of Grisi's long and splendid career has been passed in England, where she has constantly enjoyed an un exampled amount of favour, for which she has always, by her conduct, shown herself grateful ; while we, on the other hand, feel that the loss of our favourite of so many years is a loss that an never be supplied. Mks has not, however, yet taken her final leave of the Inglidi public. On Wednesday next, it bas just been an. bounced, there is to be, st the Crystal Palau, a "Grand Musiesl Festival in honour of the farewell of Madame Grid," to be got op cm a large and maguiliceat scale. All the company of the Royal Italian Opera will give their 111.1ilt&1100, and them will be an orchestra and chorus three hundred strong. The performance, under the direction of Mr. Costa, will take place in the centre transept of the palace, which will be so enclosed as to produce the beat orchestral effects. . The programme will include several great chorines of Rossini, Auber, and Neyerheer, and Ma dame :riai will sing several of her most favourite Meow Moreover, she intends to make a tour, organised by Mr. Wiliest Beale, through the provinces in the ensuing autumn, and will visit every principal city and town in the United Yilairlora, London exempted. This will most positively be her "Farewell to England," and the termination of her professional llla CRYSTAL PALACE. If yesterday had been a moderately seasonable day there would have been no doubt • very handmaid, attendance at H. Bloodin's fiat and (an it is said) only public performance oo the short rope at the (bred Palace. As it was the comber of spectators did not sink to a depth commensurate with the fearful fall of the b.iro meter ; and N. Media made his appearance at • quarter past tires Adage before • pretty large gathering of his usiespidihre. Means. all of whom were prepared by the emenimemely favourable "opinions of the prov e to see something which would eclipse their most vivid meellectiona of agile feats on the •44141. • *Kt time since we recorded the great sum NM of a privele Ilahlbitioa by H. Bloodin, in • room at the (bred Pl s., and yesterday's performance was of the lam ebresior as that which we then described. There WOO and, arAablia variations and additions, however, ism penile at mash amity to the display, even in eyes already abased by N. lilleodia's gymnastic exercises within a lea. usably safe distance from the ground, that we may be par dosed for venturing • little into detail. N. Bloudia, Ikea, first leaped upon his well-braced cord in the metre transept, with his test fastened in beano, and with his body and limbs heavily .hackled. Ile &need, sprang backwards and forwards, brigaded as halms* height, and threw somereaelts, as I easily es be .said have dose without these encumbrance& His swat see wee a quaint rustic dance in @akin, which woad have palmed him credit "on the regular boards." llopeally at his are did N. Bloodia appear on stilts, which, S. be sers, were asseemodated to the exigencies of the tight-eopm by Wag Stied with Iron forks, to ensure a foot ing. Whim at bat, M. Moodie isondoscentled to mount the rope with betiding more extraordinary on Lis feet than • pair of neatly fitting slippers, it was to transcend aB be Lad hitherto dose. His flights into space were abeolately adasailag ; and, by way of proving that the height of his leaps was not illusive, he sprang backwards and forwards over a row of lighted candles elevated some feet shove the cord. The next phase of H. Bloodin's activity wee a pleasant imitation of repose. He sat in A chair, to do which cm a tight rope seems an accomplishment difficult of imitation. But he did not only sit on this chair, he positively imparted to it • portion of his mercurial qualities, and obliged it to novel with him along the rope, and to bound beneath his weight like an impatient charger. All this time H. Moodie had used his balancing pole, without which a rope-dancer is generally supposed to be spell-bound and under the ban of atter disability. That he should have ultimately per formed • number of the most complicated and difficult evolutions without this aid is a fact which must have sug gested to everybody present the question why /Moodie ever troubles himself with • pole, when be can do am much and mon when aneactunbered by its weight. The pole being discarded, H. Blualia replaced it with the absurd substi tute of • violin, se if that could help to keep him on his feet. At any tate, it seemed to help him in using them, for he danced stably esough to his awn music. Thu fiddle in tars made way fees drum, on which .ll.Bloodin tattooed with woodland , and s ith no abatement of bodily iner t/es. la him, ming and somereault.throwing would appear to go naturally enough together. A fresh engagement has been made with N. Biondi°, who is, we eadersimil. to continue his performances for twelve weeks longer. We shall certainly Lave, • considerable body o t the public with ns in expressing • desire that at least two or three of the forthcoming exhibitions may be of the mese kind se that of yesterday. Though H. Blondia in. slated oe following up his arduous exploits by a series of daring feats on the high rope which extends along the transept, and was muck applauded therein, we take the liberty of doubting whether, um the whole, ttruitous addendum might sot have been judic iously p THE Firm AT CELMORNE GARDIVIS.—The second private evening Pe, in aid of the funds for promoting the migration of SpitaMehl' weavers, took place last night at &morn* Ganimia.

MIDLAND COUNTIES RIFLE VOLUNTEER RiVISW. WARWICK, WEDNEADAY EVIENTNO. Thin event, which has for the last three months excited so much interest amongst the volunteer force in all the neighbouring counties, and amongst the public generally, took place to-day ia the presence of an immense concourse of persons, who came from the surrounding country for scores of miles ; in fact, such a gathering has in all probe• bility never before been witnessed in this picturesque old town, with its numerous sumociatione of historic interest. It is now many mouths since the idea of holding this review was first mooted, and the sanction of the War °Mee having been obtained through the medium of Lord Leigh, the lord-lieutenant of the county, • com mittee was formed, and the details of ar tengement entrusted to the care of the various esionnanMng allows in Warwickshire, who were assisted 1 by Major Disk, the inspestor of rifle volunteers for the mid land district. After the first meeting of the committee had been held, circulars were issued inviting the attendance of varies% corps throughout the county. Answers to their applications were received by Lieutenant-Colonel Mason, and the result of their answers was communicated to the load committee, who met at stated intervals at the War wick Arms Hotel. It was expected that about 15,000 volunteers would be present at the review, but doubts were expressed by some of the committee as to whether the common would be large enough for the movement of more than 10,000 men, and the invitations were therefore limited. It was anticipated that Lancashire would, as they did at the Hyde-park review; seed its thousands; but this county, very shortly after the review at Warwick was projected, obtained official authority for the Lancashire corps to be reviewed at Newtw on the 3rd of August; therefore it was intimated to the committee that no corps would be present from that county. The race pound was the locality selected for the review, as alordmg ample since for the purpose ; and indeed almost the only spot where such accommodation could be obtained in the locality. The ancient Priory Park con tiguous to the railway station was granted to the committee for the erection of tents for the various battalions ; here they were formed before marching to the review ground. The general aommittee having made their arrangements for the various corps, a local committee directed their atten tion to the provision of seats for the multitude which might be expected to assemble. The limited space at our dis posal does not permit us to particularise the various corps sent, but the total was as follows :—Cavalry, 150 ; 137 ; first brigade, 2,280 ; second brigade, 2,510; third brigade, 2,124 ; fourth brigade, 1,550 ; total, 8,751. From an early hour in the morning the streets of War rick, usually so quiet, presented an appearance of much animation. Shortly after ten o'clock the corps begin to strive. Towards one o'clock the crowds in the street made their way to the review-ground as the centre of :tarot:am At this time the weather, which had been dark and lowering during the greater part of the morning, became wone ; rain fell smartly, and promised to °patinae throughout the day ; apparently, however, this is no degree damped the ardour of them who attended to witness the pronedings. At ten Illitedie to one o'clock bin Royal Highness the Duke of Owelekke, the oommeader-in-chief, arrived, and Immediately proceeded to Warwick Castle. He was sc. °propelled by the Hon. Colonel IlseArmald. A.D.C. • Lieu. temot-Geseral Sire. Wetherell, commandant of thisortli gre district ; Colossi Greathead, A.D.C. • and Colonel Ill'Mardo, impacting allegro( volunteers. Meow*, loather aohlenies and gentlemen in the suite or at the made were the Duke of Newcastle, lord-lieutenant of Nottingham shim; the Duke al Rutland, loyal-lieutenant of bloater. 411fille ...the Marquis of Exeter, lord-lieutenant of Northamp tonshire ; Reel Done, lord-lieutenant of Gloocestersbire Lord Netherton, lord-lieutenant of Staffordshire • Lord Lyttelloa, lord-lieutenant of Worcestershire ; Earl Simmer, major of the let Northampton Volunteer Rifle Corp ; Earl Grosvenor, lieutensuitecolooel 22nd Queen's Westminster; Sir N. 8. Stewart, lieutenant-colonel let Renfrewshire ; Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, captain Warwickshire Yeomanry Cavalry ; Hon. E C. Leigh, captain Warwick shire Yeomanry Cavalry ; Lord Richard Grosvenor, Bei-- tenant 22nd Queen's Westminster ; and Colonel Erika., deputy-inspecting officer of volunteers. At fifteen menus past two the first division of the misname marched on to the review-ground. At that time the rain ceased, and the sun shone out splendidly ; the bal conies surrounding the ground were well filled, anti alto gether a very imposing effect was produced. Erectly at twenty minutes to three o'clock the Duke of Cambridge and his staff entered the ground, preceded by the Duke of Manchester. fine troop of mounted volualeas. It was nearly six o'clock before the review had ter valuated ; and in the opinion of many military men present, nothing could have been more suocasted • and the behaviour of the men was in every reaped admirable. The arrangement. were also excellent : and the ground well adopted—indeed, • much larger body of mew might have been reviewed with the greatest ease. The total number of men, as shown 'oy the battalion roll, was 111,0r2. . _ _ The railway arrangements were on the whole good ; the Greet Western Company did the bulk of the work, and con sidering the number of trams they mu, the service wee perhaps as well performed ea was possible. One corps only—the Litioestenhire, as we understood—arrived too late on the ground for inspection ; but took port in the other proceedings of the day. VOLUNTEERING FOR TAE INDIAN ARMY.

CITY OF LONDON ELECTION. An aggregate meeting of the electors of the City of London was held yesterday at the London Tavern to re ceive Mr. Western Wood, the liberal candidate. On the platform, amongst other gentlemen, were Baron Rothschild, M.P., Messrs. It. W. Crawford, M.P., K. Hodgson, A. Layerd, 51. P., T. A. Mitchell, M.P., J. L. Ricardo. M.P., S. Gregson, M.P., G. Moffatt, M.P., T. N. Weguelin, M.P., C. Gilpin, M.P., It. Haul:my, M.P., Hon. G. Denman. M.P., Sir A. Rothschild, Aldermen Phillips, Mechi, J. C. Lawrence, Salomone, S,c. Mr. Gso. Slcs cm was called to the chair, and brietly upend the pro- ceedings. Mr. Vicion then rue, and was received with loud cheers. He addressed the wattle; at some length in suPk nation of his political pnncii.les, which he compared with those held by his opponent, the Lord Mayor. The only question, be said, on which there was any difference of opinion between him and the liberal party was that of i church rates. All he asked on that point was that the church should be left the power to tax itself. He would not be a party to enforcing the rate in a compulsory way upon any man, either churchman or dissenter, but further than that he was not, at present, prepared to pledge him• stiff, though he was quite open to conviction. If, after a little parliamentary experience—for he felt quite sure they would elect him—he should come toaconclusion more in con somme with the opinions of a large body of the liberal party, he should not be afraid or ashemed openly to act on that oosolusion, and vote for total abolition ; but at present, if for the sake of obtaining a few votes be were to renounce in an hour the opinions of a life, he should justly render himself an object of suspicion and contempt . if soy change aa QM question took place with him it would be one of pro ven, not of reaction. Not so, however, with the Lord /layer, who in 1855 and 1858 had voted for the abolition of the rate, bat who in 1881, when it had been made a party question by the tories, voted against the abolition, thus &owing himself in a reactionary point of view, and &decidedly =MD. acting for party and not on principle. The ble gentleman having expressed his readiness to lanswer any questions, resumed his seatamidst loud ap planes. Mr. Perms asked Mr. Weed whether he was in favour of the equalisation of the poor rate, and the abolition of the law of settlement. Mr. WOOD said he had not given the subject any grave consideration, but his opinions and feelings were favourable to the equalisation of the poor rate ; and with respect to the law of settlement, he could not better answer that question than by saying, that bad he been is the House of Commons he should have voted for the bill now paring through parliament on that subject. (ear, bear.) Mr. HoDOSON, M.P., moved a reso le tics to the effect that the meeting was of opinion that Mr. Wood was a it and proper person to represent the City. of Leaden in par liament. The hon. gentleman, in enforcing the resolution, said the liberals bad two powers to contend against—the power of their opponents, and the lukewarmseas of their friends ; the first they could estimate at its worth, bat the second must be looked tq or the City would 'gain be tory- ridden. To avert this gnat calamity was the duty of every liberal. (Hear, hear.) He trusted, therefore, there would be a cordial union in behalf of Mr. Wood, and his return wank( become metals. AlderriiiT.l. C. hawersoc seconded the resolution, which was sapperted by Mr. Warrzauwarr, who as a member of the Society for the separation of Church and State, although Mr. Wood was not so far advanced on the church-rate question as he could have wished, would give him his hearty support. Mr. A. LATARD, M.P., also su pp orted the resolution, and said the aortae of London could not wafer a pester cow giment on their late noble representative than by return ing in his place • man who would house* carry out the roe prinetpleu (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried, with three dissentients. Repeated cheers followed this announcement. The meeting broke up with three chaos for Wood and the liberal mum THE AMERICAN CRISIS. . iraprasti A public meeting was held yesterday at Willies Rooms, Kintstrest, St. Jones's, for the purpose of discuss lag the t eras in America, and el bearing the opi roe el Doi Chewer, of New York, so the subject prior Ms Ns Sworn far the United States. The Right 800. Ss Tail of OULPTIIIIIIVAT pi:espied the chair. The reessillap having been erred by prayer, 'The Carman said they were assembled there for a aerie peopose—fint, to do honour to their friend Dr. 011sevey fad to express their admiration of his °pushiest est west to express their own opinion with respect ke as state of thiags In Amcor, particularly r quarks of slavery. He bad been instructed Wood en address to the Rev. Dr. Cheever, and to present to him a piece of plate sad some books of valuable English literature. He read the address, as follows : " To the Rev. G. B. Cheerer, D.D., Pastor of the Church iiiPtiikana,ViirVork. U.& " Rey. and dear fkr,—ift number of English 'gentle- men desire to show their sympathy with the friends of freedom in America, by testifying to yourself the high seers of the service you have rendered to the canoe of humanity. For more than a quarter of a century you have, with ad mirable eriasietene both by speech and writing, main tained the is right of every human being to his penmeal liberty, and in the face of au opposition which few would have had the firmness to withstand, you have boldly proclaimed it to be a crime to reduce soy man to the condition of a chatteL Your published work', ' God against Slavery' and The Guilt of Slavery,' are eminently distinguished by learning and seal, directed by the purest Christian morality, and will, we doubt not, endure to future generations in this country and in your own as au irrefragable defence of freedom. We desire that in leaving our shores you should bear with you wow testimony of our admiration of the high qualities, both of heed and heart, which you have displayed, DO less in advocating the rights of the oppressed than in enduring with Christian forbearance and meekness the unrelenting hostility which your efforts on behalf of the enslaved have excited. We therefore beg your acceptance of this piece ef plate, on which you will find engraves some names sot unknown to the friends of the oppressed, with this copy of the works of Lord Erskine, the great constitutional lawyer and advocate of personal liberty. and this sum of money which we know will be expended to promote the cause of human freedom. We take leave of you with fervent wishes for your health and moms, and on behalf of the subscriber, we append our names.—SH A Ranee SY, chairman; treasurer ; hi. A. GARVEY, boo. sec." The piece of plate consisted of a Imp silver salver beau tifully chased, and hearing thefollowing - smiptice :—" Pre sented to the Rev. G. B. Cheerer . , D.D., Pastor of the in Church of the Puritans, New York, Mimi of the honour in which be is held by the British Christiana, and of their sympathy with him in the noble and consistent coarse he has pursued in exhibitiug alaveholding as a sin against God, and a violation of the first rights of humanity." Then fol. low the names of the committee. The Rev. Dr. CHEEVER then came forward and returned thanks in suitable terms. Lord KINNAIRD, in moving a vote of thanks to the chair man, said that a feeling had sprung up on the other aide of the water that the friends .4 freedom were lukewarm, and had shown the cold shoulder to Dr. Cheerer, but there was not one word of truth u po n which to found such an assertion. It hail been said that there was no sympathy between this country and the Northern States ; but the fact was, that we felt that the Northern States were a slavebolding power, sod that under her Sag fifty ships were carrying thousands of slaves from Africa annually with impunity under the protection of the American Mur so that we could not sympathise with them tothe extent that they could desire. 11r. S. MORLLY seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Earl of SHAPTIRIBURT, in returning thanks, rid it was strange that there should be a feeling on the other side of the water that there was no sympathy hers with regard to the question of slavery. Why thee was not a question that was so dear to an Englishman r that of individual liberty. (Hear, hear.) We had so great an idea of it that it entered into our minds to MOO the question, and any man expressing a doubt on the subject would be looted upon as a fool or a beast. With regard to the straggle now going ca, there was no sympathy in this country for either or side or the other, simply because we believed there was no sincerity in either of them. The war was not a question of slavery, because the North had conceded to the Southern States all that they asked for, end they had it all in their own hands. He had spokei to several Americans. and they had candidly oonfessed that if the Federal government were victorious they would sot abolish slavery. The President in his reach had said that in OM of the Federal govern meat being conquerors he should be governed by the con stitution in the course he should adopt, and the meaning of that was that ho should maiutain slavery. He considered that the surest way to abolish the slave trade was to dimi nish the demand for the slave produce, and that could be done only by looking to other countries for a supply of cotton. (Hear.) After some further remarks from Dr. CIIIEVZR, reprding the constitution of the United Shah* sad addresses from other speakers, the proceedings terminated.

Rim Hunt, jun., who has been the deputy governor of the workhouse since 1857, was next called. The Chairman—Miss Carpenter states, "the deputy governor told me he was glad for the boys to run away, clothes and aIL" Did you ever make any such statement to her ? Witness—l have never seen Miss Carpenter. I never made any such statement, and my predecessor has told me that he never made any such statement. The system pointed out by Miss Carpenter has never existed, to my knowledge, nod 1 be li eve that any one acquainted with the facts would coetradicther evidence. _ _ Mr. Wilmot, clerk to the Bserd of Guardians at Bristol, also pointed out several inaccuracies in the evidence of Miss Carpenter. Mr. Richard Griffin, chairman of the Poor-law Medical Reform Association, read a statonient of considerable length, showing the necessity of some change in the system under which medical relief is administered to the poor. He cited • great number of cases in which persona who have received medical orders were able to pay for medical attendance themselves, and stated that in his opinion the colleting officer ought to have • more extensive discretionary power in granting or withholding medical orders. He considered the present system of remunerating medical officers ex tremely defective. He thought that all persons receiving up to a certain amount of wages should be entitled to medical orders ; that medical orders granted to pIITSINIS receiving from 10s. to 20s. per week should be considered as loans ; that all cases of loess should be investigated kw the board of guardians ; and that in the event of the loans net being . repaid the parties should be treated in the same way as if they were in sneer for rates. Mr. Rogers, the medical officer of the Strand Union, and Mr. Fowler. one of the medical officers of the East London Union,were also examined, and pointed out the insufficiency of the remuneration given for medical minion In unions. The committee then adjourned. AMERICA. (nos OUR owN onannomart.) BOSTON, U.S., J r.n.Y 8. . . The President's message, read at the opening of the extra session of Congreaa, is a straightforward document, without the show of rhetorical em bellishment or the pretence of statesmanship. To the citizens of a European monarchy it may seem wanting iu official dignity, but its quaint and almost colloquial language will suit the people of republi can American. It confines itself to the all-engross ing topic of affairs, contains • brief and rapid survey of the facts connected with secession, and carries on its very face the personal features of its author's mind and character. The sincerity of Mr. Lincoln is unquestionable. Ile is slow and cautious in the formation of his opinions, but when once formed he expresses them with frankness. ilia clearness and directness in the utterance of his opinions were illustrated in the memora ble discussion between him and Mr. Douglas. It is the custom in the Western States for the candidates to appoint meetings where both parties assemble, and each of the contending aspirants present& the questions at issue. As the struggle at this time had national bearings the eyes of the country were turned upon Illinois, and the able and satisfactory manner in which Mr. Lincoln bore himself won the approval of the re publicans. He gained by it a national reputation ; and though Mr. Douglas secured Lis seat in the Senate, the defeat of Mr. Lincoln made him the next President. Mr. Lincoln has very clear moral perceptions, great decision, more than the average intellectual penetration, and much political saga city. Thus far we can sp eak: from what he has done. The future will show whether he has those pro found and comprehensive powers of mind which are necessary to make a great statesman. The message and the accompanying reports of the various State departments let us into the opi nions and plans of the administration. These show that the days of official imbecility and inde cision have passed, and that preparations are in progress on a gigantic scale. The President recom mends the putting into actual service a force of not less than four hundred thousand men, and the raising of nearly four hundred millions of dollars. The Secretary of the Treasury, in speaking more in detail of the latter, proposes that eighty millions be raised by taxes and the revenue and two hundred and forty millions by loans. The latter are to be of different kinds—a portion, say not less than a hun dnickmillions,to be raised in small sums in the form .of treasury notes or exchequer bine from 50 dula. to 5,000 dole. This may be called the popular loan. The rest is to be by treasury notes or taken by capitalists. The detaihi of this plan ere it is matured and legalised by Congress may be materially ahem]. From the fact that the esti mated expenses for the year will be three hundred and twenty millions, it will be seen that the govern ment intend to use its powers with earnestness. Every effort will be made to carry on the war with vigour, so that it may be short and decisive. This is but an echo of the popular voice. Congress, de porting from its usual dallying and fruitless debate, has entered at once on its duties with earnestness, by electing its officers and proceeding to business. As soon as the message was read in the Senate, Mr. Wilson, the chairman of the Military Committee, offered several important bills, the passage of which, with others yet to be submitted, will give the executive special powers and the necessary means for carrying on the war and putting down secession. The presence of Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, in the Senate is significant, and showi that he is not yet ready to unite himself with the Southern Con federacy. The vote of his State at the recent elec tion, of which I spoke in my last letter, is thought to have decided the question that Kentucky of her own choice will remain true tothe Union ; and Mr. Breckenridgu taking his seat in the Senate is a confirmation of this opinion. Mr. Johnson, of Missouri, who must not be confounded with his us.mesake of Tennessee, was also sworn in. Thus all the Slave States which have hot yet seceded, as well as Tennessee, will take part in the legislation of the United States. Among the events in the celebration of the 4th of July at Washington was a review of the New York troops now iu that city. The force amounted to 20,000, and no effort was made to concen trate those which were stationed any distance from the city. Here, then, were this number of efficient volunteer soldiers from a single State, not half of what will be ready for service in a short time ; and General Sanford, iu a brief speech, promised, if needed, a large increase. If a body of men like these is only portion from one State, your readers can form 30111 C idea of the resources and the spirit of the North. JOHN ANDERSON, THE FUGITIVE SLAVE.—.The Anderson committee have issued an appeal to the British public on behalf of this fugitive : After referring to theagonising suspense which lie su ff ered during the long periodin which his life as well as his liberty Tag in Jeopardy, and the fact that the whole of the kWh pro petty which he had acqnhed by his own honest exertions was swept away by the costs of his defence—the manly qualities which he exhihited during his imprisonment, and the excellent character he has always borne, they say, " Anderson Out come to this country by the lulvice of his best frisuds in Canada. As proalavoy prejudice is un happily still rife in many parts of that clony, and as, more over, the demand for Anderson's extrAition was not de cided in his favour upon the merits of the question, but upon purely technical grounds, whereby he was, at any moment, liable to be re-arrested, it is obvious that con siderations of personal safety rendered it desirable that he should seek a refuge on the shores of England. Shortly after his arrival in this country, a public meeting was held in Exeter-hall, to place his case fairly before the British people. Anderson, who is a naturally bright and intelligent man, is anxious to obtain the means of education ; and he is also deeply solicitous to purchase bit wife and children, who still remain in slavery, and who, in the present dis turbed state of Muesouri, might probably be bought with greater ease and for a smaller sum thin in less turbulent times. If, in addition to the accompli-dunent of these ob jects, we ere eaabled to establish Andersen in some suit eble business, by which he may earn a respectable liveli hood, we believe that his subsequent career, should Pro. videnee spate his life, will make him an honour to his race, and give every one reason tores who assisted him in the day of his necessity." The address is signed by Mr. Harper Twelvetrees, chairman of the committee ; Mr. Cooke Baines, end Mr. Joseph A. Horner. hon. secretaries, by whom sub scription will be received ; or they may be paid to the &consist of the treasurer, the Hon. A. Kinnai4 M.P., at Messrs. Hansom, Bouverie, and Co.'. Bank. THE PNEUMATIC DISPATCH TUBE. The passengers by Citizen steamboat to Chelsea may observe, on the open quay which adjoins the premises of the lionthwart and yen:hall Waterworks, near Batter sea-pier, a long range orblich iron tubing, ball sunk in the earth, Lad extending a distance of about 430 yards along the brink of the rinr, except where it takes a winding turn and dives under ground before entering a shed. This tube is the object of certain experiments which began on Tuesday and will be continued for a few days. The transmission of packages by pneumatic premium is not a new idea, nor in practice is it without au example, for the Electric Telegraph Company have for a period of six years, employed the same means in collecting their messages from districts immediately surrounding their chief station. But the plan on which the Pneumatic Despatch Company intend, with the nid of their engineers, Mears. T. W. lienimall and Latimer Clark, to apply the principle MOM widely, embraces two or three novel points of mechanism. The tube which we have mentioned is shout thirty inches in diameter. It has rails, which are solidly cast within it. The are which are to bear the despatches and mail bags are also of cast iron, with wheels which run clothe rails; but the oars thanselvemthough corre ' speeding in shape with their receptacle, do not fit closely to its top and sides. Nothing like a vacuum or complete exheustion of atmosphere is, in fact, required. The failure of the old atmospheric railway was attributable partly to the enormous pressure and partly to the necessity of opening and claims oontinuousvalve as often u • train was started. Neither difficulty occurs with regard to the pneu matic despatch tube. The pressure in this case is about ' six inches of water, which does not equal half the variation of the barometer. A maximum speed of twenty-five miles an hour may, we believe, be attained ; but this, as well se the weight of the carriages and their contents, must be • question of mechanical power. As to distance, there is a more decided limitation ; and we doubt whether the plan would work beyond a length of five miles. It will be for use in crowded towns that the pneumatic despatch tube' will prove a boon ; end its first operations in London will probably be in connexion with the General Post-office. The machinery by which a partial exhaustion of air within the tube is effected may be bnefiy described. In the shed te which we have alluded is an engine which works direct t as a mer crank on the axis of a couple of discs, the of which is 21 feet. There is • space between these discs, not wider than three or four inches at the edge, but greatly increasing towards the centre, where • large body of air is held. By the rapid and simultaneous revolution of these dies, the air is expelled at the open sides, just as water is trundled bye mop. As the centre communicates with the tube, a certain quantity of air is abstracted, and • corresponding pressure of course takes place, by which the motion of the cars is governed. On their ap proach to the end of their journey a check is gives to their speed by a very ingenious arrangement. The exhausting machinery, instead of acting on the whole length se the tube, communicates with it by a branch pipe. at some little dis- Lace from the end. As soon as the carriages hue paned this pipe, they ere no lamer subject to the Name motive in finenoe and the air is advance of them act, as a kind of natural buffer, the opposing force of which Can again be regulated at will by the attendants who hear the approach ing ears. There is really no saying that this machinery . may not serve the purpose of railways as well as the requirements of the Post-oleos, and that we may not be blown through a subterranean pea-shooter from one end of London to the other. Let us, while waiting for this more remote benefit, congratulate ounelves on the near prospect of in zreased postal facilities, and diminished traffic through our already too , crowded streets. PABIJAMENTARY COMMITTEES. POOR RELIEF (ENGLAND). This committee re-assembled on Tuesday ; Mr. Villiers in the chair. The other members present were : Sir W. Jolliffe, Mr. Moffatt, Mr. Kekewich, and Lord Stanley. Mr. l'erry, chairman of the Bristol Board of Guardians, attended for the purpose of contradicting some of the state ments made by Miss Carpenter ou the 25th of June. She then stated that the workhouse authorities do not concern themselves about neglected chiklren, and that it is their poetic* to discourage the application of such children foe relief. She further stated that she knew of cases of hove absolutely destitute applying for relief and being refused, and that it was only after the interference of the magis trates that they were admitted into the workhouse. Now I des) that such is the practice, and wish to state that the authorities do not object to take in destitute children, or to retain them. _ . . The Chairman—Miss Carpenter is there referring to the practice which existed ten rears ago. Witmer—l cannot go tack so far as that. The Chairman—Then that is no answer to Miss Carpenter's statement. She mentions another ease which came under her own notice:—The sou of a woman who was receiving relief, and whose father was in prison. She says that the workhouse authorities refused to take the boy in— that she found hint in the streets and tent him to the relieving officer, wno would not do anything for him, and he was left in the streets. She received him into her industrial school, and than sent him to the magistrates, who toompelled the workhouse authorities to take him in. She gays if also had Dot so received the boy he would have been left in the streets. _ Witneas—l take that to he the ease of a boy who wu formerly in Mies Carpenter's school, and whose father paid for him up to the time of his committal to prison. The payment MU then stopped, and Nisi Carpenter turned the boy out of the echoul. The mother made an application for relief, and I have here the statement of the relieving *Meer. . The Chain:um—Ate you certain that this is the same duo ? - - - • Witness— lt is the nearest case we can find approaching Miss I..%rpenter's statement, for she does not give us any names or dates. My knowledge of the case is derived from the mitering °Seer. He states that on the 13thJune,1860,• boy aged 13, wss sent by his father to MissCarpenteis indus trial school, he agreeing to pay 3s. 6d, per week for the boy. The boy continued in the school until March, 1861, when his mother applied for relief in consequence of her husband Uhl in prison. On the 22nd of March she applied for the admission of the boy into the workhouse, but the appliea• Mow was refused unless she went in with her other child. She was, however, offered additional outAlixv relief. The boy was afterwards brought before the guar dians and admitted, and remained in the workhouse three weeks until the father got out of prison. The Chairman—Miss Carpenter was risked if she had her self verified the fact. which she mentioned, and she paid that she had done so, and that it was a system on the part of the guardians at Bristol not to relieve children from the fear of increasing the rates—that the cams to which she referred had come to her own knowledge, and that it is the custom of the magistrates to interfere and get the children taken into the workhouse. . . . Witness—They do not interfere. The Chairman—Then )ou contrad:ct that statement in tato! Witnaee—Ys. The Chairman--Yon always receive children when they snob to he admitted into the workhouse'. Witnees—Yes, it they have no parents. The Chairman—Yon never leave them destitute in the Ares* no that they are driven to commit crime? Witmer—Never. The Chairman—ls there anything further in Yin Car paten e vidence, which you wish to notice ! She states, in eel part of her evidence, that the children in the workhouse school are " down•looking" boys, and that as a punishment their moat is sometime cut into small pieties, and they are obliged to eat it out of a trough. What do you say to that! Witness—There is not a more cheerful or a more happy set of boys. I have examined the m .sters and nine of the hop, and have swantained that they are never treated in that manner. The Chairmen then referred to several other parts of Carpenter's evidence, to which the witness gave equally positive contradiction. :1
