It is much to be regretted that one of the moat extensively circulated of our morning contempo raries should not merely be an advocate of the South, but that it should also grievously misre present the views of the best portion of the North. \ That, as things stand, the South is in many respects Mr. LAING has had his turn at last .

We should not inde ed have cared to demand any very extreme measure of emancipatien. Suppose Congress had followed the example of Canada. Perhaps many persons are not aware that the last slave in Canada was liberated May 31, 1818. There are many, no doabt, residing in the province who were once slaves therein ; but may the child never be born who will ever become one. But as probably the idea of slavery in Canada is new to many of this generation, we give some extracts from the abolition act itself : " 33 of Geo. 111., chap. 7, passed May 31, 1793, being the second session of the First Parliament, An Act to Prevent the introduction of Slaves. "Whereas, it is unjust that a people who enjoy freedom by law, should encourage the introduction of slaves, and whereas, it is highly expedient to abolish slavery in the province, so far as the same may gradually be done with out violating private property : Be it enacted, etc., /cc., that eo much of a certain aot, entitled , An Act for encour aging new settlers in his Majesty's colonies and plan tations in America,' as may enable the Governor of the Province to grant a license for importing into the same any negro or negroes, shall be, and the same is hereby repealed; and from and after the passing of this act, it shall not be lawful for the Governor to grant a license for the importa tion of any negro, to be subjected to the condition of a slave, or to a bounden involuntary service for life, into any part of the province ; nor shall any negro who shall come or be brought into this Province after the passing of this act, be subject to the condition of a slave," &c. " Nothing herein contained shall extend to liberate any negro subject to such service as aforesaid, &c., who shall have come into this province before the passing of this act, . . . or shall have otherwise come into the posses sion of any person, by gift, bequest, or bona fi le purchase. "And, in order to prevent the continuation of slavery in the Province, immediately after the passing of this act, every child that shall be born of a negro mother, shall abide and remain with the master or mistress in whose service the mother shall be living at the time of such child's birth (unless such mother and child shall leave such service by and with the counsel of such master or mistress), and shall and may retain him or her in their service until every such child shall have attained the age of 25 years, at which time they and each of them shall be entitled to demand his or her discharge, and shall be discharged by such master or mistress from any further service," &c. Suppose now that Congress had sent its armies South with such an act for their standard—what could have resisted them? The negroes would have trusted the North, would have given them all the information they needed, in stead of leaving them, as they now do, in utter and fatal ignorance of Southern movements; even if they had not fought, much they would have aided the Northern arms, while the planters, consoioue of their false position, and unable to disprove the facts of Northern conduct, would have been afraid to leave their homes, not dreading negro cruelty, but desertion of their labourers. Northern hatred of the negro, Northern aversion to summon him to fight; for the Union and Free dom, Northern desire to deport him, rather than to enlist his righteous aid, prevented all this. The North will now, in all human probability, miserably fail and fall. Its fate, but for the uncer tainties of war, seems, even now, to be sealed. They bowed down to their MoLocu, the Union—instead of invoking the aid of righteous ness and Heaven—and Heaven has justly left the triumph to the powers of the Southern Pande monium. The North richly deserves all. It will fall without the regret of either the philanthro pist or the statesman. I G ar ib a ldi an s, have been shot mercilessly in the besides the form er rent.

Those assertions yet re- routine Whig or Tory official aided by an old main—each of them—undenied : about the bed, the fashioned Indian Council, is the best, our readers chairs, the bandages, and so forth. And recollect are aware, is the opinion we have also long held. --they w ere seen by an eye-witness, fresh from the It must come to this. Mr. LAING giv of the meddles some frighe t- sick room of the wounded H ero ; and b y an ful instances of the effect, in India, eye-witness as credible and as well known so as me and fussy incompetence of our Indian G en eral Bixio—a Garibaldian, it is true, but an Secretary. But we must defer, for the present, the o utspoken opponent of that last mad enterprise, cons id era tion of so important a subject. which terminated at the close of last month so disastrously at Aspromonte. Indirectly corrobora tive of these accounts of the neglect of GARIBALDI is the complaint formally made within the last few days by certain of his followers—appealing (we trust it may prove not ineffectually) to the authori ties for a cessation of these needless cruelties and ignominies. As a miserable, left-handed excuse, it is now confidently asserted by the Esprit Public, that —" After the defeat at Aspromonte, assassins disem barked on Italian soil, in order to attack the most exalted personages." The paper adding—" In view of such facts the Italian Ministry were compelled to order a trial in order to prove with whom lay the responsibility of the blood that has been shed." Now, we hesitate not at once to proclaim our abso lute unbelief in th© accuracy of this disgraceful and infamous assertion. Who will not be ready, upon the instant, to affirm, with an absolute confidence, that GARIBALDI'S enterprise had nothing whatever to do from first to last, sooner or later, with any cold blooded scheme, with the vaguest possible idea of assassination ? Not a single date, not one soli tary name either of place or person, it is observable, is put forth in connection with this atrocious accu sation. There is only the naked statement, unsup ported in any way. And referring to it as (in justice 1 to the Hero now lying wounded as a State Prisoner at Varignano), we are constrained to do—we pass it by with mingled sentiments of scorn and abhorence. Very different is the argument advanced by the RATTAIII Cabinet in justification of its armed op position to GARIBALDI. Allusion being here made of course, to the Circular Note addressed in the name of that Government to the Italian representatives abroad, the Ministerial circular written by General DURANDO, under date the 10th of September. " If," says this note towards its conclusion—" If GARIBALDI has been resisted, it is solely because it if convinced that the Government will attain its end, and that the Catholic powers, France above all, will recognise the danger of maintaining the antagonism between the Papacy and Italy." And again—" The present sifaation is no longer ten able, and would end by involving extreme conse quences, compromising the religious interests of Catholicism and the tranquillity of Europe." Even then it remains inexplicable how it was the Ita lian Government permitted, nay at first encouraged, the movement of GARIBALDI, which it ultimately put down by force of arms ! And—still more in explicable is it under the ciroumstances—that, be lieving itself to be so constrained to overthrow its chief Benefactor, it should have done so with such unnecessary brutality I wounding him seriously, and quite needlessly at Aspromonte ! harshly and when there is no need for it whatever, still retain. - him a prisoner in the fortress of Varignano ! Cabby threatens to take the law into his own hands. Though bow he can hope to carry out his intentions in the manner in which he proposes, it is rather difficult to imagine. The Act of Parliament that, but a very few sessions back, regulated the fares, according to their still existing rate of regu lation, is plain enough in itself: not a doubt of it. But, while it is so, it is not always satisfactory either to the hirers or to the drivers of these public conveyances. Bickerings are continually taking place : magistrates are perpetually being re ferred to. The vexation of all this was in fact so obvious and so intolerable that there is a pretty general readiness evidenced to bring about if possible, and this not later than next session, a thorough revision of the existing Cab Act. Gene rally this readiness i , among the public, among the hirers; but—among the cabbies themselves—the wish is of course to have things all their own way. They gave us a few years back, it will be remem bered, a taste of all the " disagreeables" incident to a Cab Strike ! They now seem to meditate some thing very like a coup d'etat in Cabland ! No metal badges—they want, for one thing. Cabby has a soul, if not above buttons, at any rate above badges. He wants a certificate instead. And yet, at the meeting of Cabdrivers, which took place late on Wednesday night—the proceedings (quite in the Parliamentary style, this!) closing at two o'clock yes terday morning—the assembled cabmen indignantly rejected a resolution that was proposed, to the effect that no licences should be granted to" returned con victs," or to persons who had been convicted crimi nals ! The one great wish apparently cherished by the cab fraternity is to rende r the nzinimuna fare a shilling I The Legislature s ays sixpence—but the cabmen stand out, upon t h e principle of double or quits, for the good round shilling, for what one of our old forgotten poets sang the glories of as— "The Splendid Shilling." Even when it was proposed at Wednesday's meet ing that, during certain hours (that were specified) 9d. should be the fare for the first hiring—this split ting of the difference was rejected as a notion altogether inadmissible. Cabby, however, if he hopes for any good, must submit to something in the shape of a compromise. HEALTH OF GARIBALDI. The following telegram, dated September 18, has just been received from Dr. Partridge : " SPEZZIA, Thursday Night. "The General is progressing as favourably as could be wished." Viscount Palmerston arrived in town yesterday, from his seat, Broadlands, Hants. The Duchess of Inverness, who has been suffer ing from indisposition for some days past, is now much better. The Earl and Countess of Rinnoull have arrived at Brighton from Worthing. _ _ _ Lord and Lady Herries and the Hon.

Mr. Thackeray and family, John Leech and family, and all the various members (forty-five) of the Rothschild family, are staying at Folkestone. VACCINATTON.—The public returns, as far as they are complete, show that in the year ending at Michael mas last the number of persons vaccinated by the public vaccinators in E gland was but 432,806 ; only 425,739 were successfully vaccinated, and of this number 100,641 were above a year old. Yet the number of registered births in the year in,the unions making these returns was 685,646, more than double the number of the infants under one year successfully vaccinated by the public vaccinators. The number of the vaccinators was 3,731. The Court of Assizes of the Gera has just tried a man and his wife, named Caillau, for the murder, on the 9th April last, of a girl named Marie Estingoy, 15 years of age. It appeared from the evidence that the girl lived with her grandfather, Michael Estingoy, a farmer, at Bourcag neres. She was the illegitimate child of Estingoy's daughter, who afterwards married the prisoner Caillau, and had two sons by him. The mother of Marie Estingoy died in 1856, and Caillau soon afterwards was married to the female prisoner, Marie Estingoy then going to live with her grandfather, who was much attached to her. Caillau and his wife were highly incensed at seeing Marie thus preferred to the other grandchildren, Caillau's sons, and they were frequently heard to utter threats against both her and the old man, because they feared that he would give her the greater part of his property. They accord ingly resolved to murder her, and accomplished their pur pose by drowning the poor girl in a pond near her grand father's house. The evidence was most conclusive against the priscners, who were found guilty by the jury, but with extenuating circumstances. The Court accordingly sen tenced Caillau to hard labour for life, and his wife to five years of the same punishment. LORD RAGLAN UNDER FIRE. —From the moment of the first advance of the British troops, and when the enemy opened their terrible fire of grapeshot, &c., we found our situation on the mortar battery anything but pleasant, and, considering the danger we were in, it was wonderful that any escaped alive. Lord Raglan desired every one, both officers and men, to sit down, so as to keep under cover as much as possible, and not to attract the attention of the enemy by looking over the parapet. But he himself and Gen. Jones, from the first moment that we came into the battery until after our troops had retired, leant over and watched the assault of our allies first, and afterwards our own. It was strange to watch the countenances of these two veterans. Perfectly calm and collected, they talk earnestly to one another, but without any excitement being apparent in voice or gesture, disregarding alike the heavy round shot and Minie ball which every moment flew past them. Shortly after the first advance of our troops, Gen. Jones, w hit e toeaing over the parapet conversing with Lord taglan, was struck on the forehead by a grape shut, which knocked him backwards, we all thought dead; he was caught when falling by one of his aides-de-camp, and gently laid down on the ground. It was a pitiful sight to see the poor old General with a frightful gash across his forehead, his face covered with blood, which came streaming down from the wound. However, to the great delight of all, upon being given some water, he appeared to revive, and his wound being dressed, and a bandage placed round his head, ho shortly afterwards took his place again by Lord Raglan's side, who, when he ascertained that General Jones was not mortally wounded, had returned to watch the progress of the attack.—Letters from Head Quarters. There is always an alarm set up in some quarter or another about German influence; and nothing ever comes of it. For a whole generation there has been railing at the German party in Russia : there used to be dismal shakes of the head about a little German. Prince when the Princess Char Otte was raarUillg, and about a little German Princess when the Duchess of Kent; `e'as educating the Princess Vic toria, and again about him who tilled the post to which Prince Leopold was destined : we have heard evil bodings for Portugal, and even for France in the days of the Orleans rule, on account of their German matrimonial connections; yet each country is as much itself as it ever was. ch absorbs and transmutes the foreign element it takes up, and in this way the Prince of Wales is English and his bride is Danish not the less for the father of the one and the mother of the other having come from Saxe Coburg and Heve Cassel. The Scandinavian connecti on will be peculiatly welcome to Englishmen from the deep affinity which 1,000 years have not extinguished. We should have hailed an amiable and sensible young lady from any Protestant coun try, but if we had been offered the c hoice of her birthplace it would doubtless have been one of the northern kingdoms from which the maritime element of our national character, with all its perdurable virtues, was derived. —Once a Week.

In the sitting of the Committee on the Military Budget to-day the Minister of War said that in adopting the amendment proposed by Herr von Vincke the Government had made a concession, which he hoped the committee would recognize as a basis for bringing about a reconciliation between the Chamber and the Government. Such a result would be joyfully hailed by the Government and the country, as averting a deplorable complication. The Minister further said that the discussion of the Budget of 1862 was independent of that on the Budget of 1863. The Government, for technical military reasons, could not give its adhesion to Herr Stavenhagen's amendment as applied to the Budget of 1863, and would consider itself guilty of a violation of duty in consenting to it on account of the present state of peace. The Committee was of opinion that the explana- tions of the Minister of War only concerned tech nical military objections to the introduction of the system of two years' service in the army, and that nothing had been said about a legal settlement of the question. All the members expressed their dissatisfaction with the Ministerial declarations, and Herr von Tweston declared that further discussion would be fruitless. The Minister of War finally said that the Go vernment would be mindful of its promise to bring about a legal settlement of the question. On the motion of Herr Hoverback, the com mittee unanimously declared that the declarations made yesterday and to-day by the Government were not calculated to bring the debate on the Bud get to an end, TURIN, SEPT. 18. The Count de Stackelberg, Russian Ambassador to Italy, was received by the King this morning, and presented his credentials. His Excellency afterwards visited the Prince de Carignan. BERNE, SEPT, 18. The following is a summary of the circular note, dated Sept. 10, addressed by Gen. Durando to the Italian representatives abroad. After recapitulat ing the history of the Garibaldian enterprise, the note continues : "The facts will leave none but a painful recollec tion. That union was not disturbed affords a proof of the political maturity of the Italian populations, their attachment to the Constitutional Monarchy, and the discipline of the army. "Nevertheless, the watchword of the Volunteers was truly the expression of the imperious necessi ties of the nation which cla'ms its capital. "If Garibaldi has been resisted, it is solely be• cause it is convinced that the Government will attain its end, and that the Catholic Powers, France above all, will recognise the danger of maintaining 1 the antagonism between the Papacy and Italy. " The present situation is no longer tenable, and would end by involving extreme consequences, corn promising the religious interests of Catholicism and the tranquillity of Europe."

WARSAW, SEPT. 13. e _ Another of those acts, which are performed with here solely with a view to impress Eu b r . o e p ets, has the clemency of the Czar to his Polish subjects, been published in the official journ G a Duke Powizechny. It is an order from r,:oDdziennik, Constantine, purporting to raise th th e l e , understand in the Government of Radom. o state of siege this so-called concession, you st be aware that n Nicholas placed in March, 1833, the late Emperorof s iege, which still the country in a military state 14th of October, remains in force ; but " en Governor of Poland, 1861, Count Lambert, p roclaim another state of thought it necessary to to the inhabitants the pre siege, no doubt to . 1 n r recall it sundry regulations, such vious one, by add . or a corporal billeted in a as making a thepoliceman lives of the poor peasants. The village master of , o f the present ul:aub so very exclu object, therefore, of 1 to certain districts, is to release sive as to apPIY ° them from some petty vexations of the police, and leaves the country' where it was placed by the ukase of March, 1833. This explanation was necessary, because the German press, so inimical to the Poles, displays all its imaginary powers to pourtray, on that account, the Russian system in Poland as couleur de rose. The document itself is as fol lows: The Grand Duke Namiestnik- of his Imperial Majesty in the Kingdom of Poland. "In pursuance of the orders of his Imperial Majesty, the state of siege was proclaimed in the Kingdom of Poland, with the view of insuring the peace of the inhabitants and the restoration of order, on the 2d (14th) October, 1861, by the Commander-in-Chief of the let army, and the acting Na miestnik. "Being now satisfied of the possibility of raising this state of siege, in power of the authority given to us by his Imperial Majesty, we direct as follows : „ . _ "Art. 1. The state of siege established on the 2d (14th) October, 1861, is abolished in the provinces of the Govern ment of Radom, viz., Radom, Sandomir, Opoczyn, Opatow, Kielce, Miechow, Olkusk, and Stopni, but not in the towns of Radom and Kielce, in which the state of siege shall con tinue in force until further orders. " Art. 2. The rights and duties of the military commander of the district of Radom shall be regulated, in the towns of Radom and Kielce, by the instructions issued in the an nouncement of the 2d (11th) October, 1861, concerning the state of siege; but in all other places in the Government of Radom these rights and duties shall be regulated by the in structions issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ist army and Naruiestnik on the 26th March, 1861, for military commanders, before the proclamation of the state of siege. "Art, 3. The rules regarding the possession of arms are to remain in full force. "Art. 4. The ukase of the 11th (23d April), 1833, plac ing political offences within the juris _fiction of military tri bunals, shall also continue in force. "Art. 6. The chief of the civil Government and the military commanders in the kingdom are charged with the execution of this decree. " CONSTANTINE " Beyond this affected boon, everything is as be fore—daily arrests without the slightest provoca tion, and ceaseless tyranny of the military, who, half drunk, attack every one in the streets. The other day, on the occ ision of the arrival in this city of the Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg-Stres litz, a shoemaker, named Lewis Zaknoski, hap pened to be walking in the streets with his wife. Suddenly separated from his wife by the crowd, he ran after her, when he was seized by the Cossacks, belaboured with their whips, and imprisoned. In vain did the poor man try to establish his inno cence. He was taken before Fedoran, chief of the Police, and so cruelly flogged in his presence as to doubt whether he will survive. Talk now of the abolition of the corporal punishment in Russia by the Emperor, so much trumpeted in the German journals. The head of our Civil Government, the old Nlar quis Wielopolski, is sufferiug from great nervous ness, which has assumed almost alarming ay mptoms. He fancies himself to be always pursued by some miscreant thirsting for his blood, and is never without a pistol in his pocket, even in his own house. A few days ago, when presid ing at the board of the Finance Committee, he was being presented with a parcel of papers, he thought he had seen the gun aiming at him, and he drew out a revolver from his pocket in self-defence, till disabused of this extraordinary vision. His chief occupation is still to wage war with the hats, being desirous of forcing every one to wear the ordinary cylindrical hat prescribed by his order. This exposes him to be made a laughing-stock of the population, who naturally do as they like in this respect ; the public functionaries, however, are compelled to conform to this most absurd and tyrannical regulation, as disobeying it is tanta mount to a dismissal from office. The new Minister of the Interior, Count Keller, has just entered upon his functions. At his in stallation the absence of the Marquis Wielopolski was noticed. The new Minister is a Russian pro tege, and has been , appointed to the no small surprise of all here, He pronounced an address, or rather read it, full of promises, as all the Russians do, of which nothing is expected. His predecessor, M. Krzyniski, who fulfilled his duties per interim, is a man of great ability, and has accomplished much for the benefit of education within a short apace of time. THE STOCK OF COTTON. After a lengthened period of depression, it is cheericg to find that there is some rally in the esti mated stock of cotton on hind at Liverpool, which it is also confidently affirmed is understated. The movement of the stock in the second half of the year has been as follows, as compared with the corre sponding period of 1861 and 1860: 1862. 1861. 1860. Bales. Bales. Bales.

Should this prove to be the case the worst phase of the crisis will have been traversed, as every month must inc, ease the productibility of the new sources of supply now in course of development. DONCASTER GRAND ORGAN.—The magnificent organ of Doncaster Church, built by Herr Schulze, of Ger many, is to be opened next week with special services on Thursday and Friday, as well as on the Sunday following. The Bishops of Lichfield, Oxford, Lincoln, and Glocester and Bristol, and the Rev. Dr. Atlay, vicar of Leeds, are to be the preachers on these occasions. The instrument itself is one of extraordinary sweetness and power, and is confi dently spoken of as one of the finest organs, if not the very finest, in England. A very beautiful pulpit is to be opened at the same time. The great east window of the church, designed as a memorial to the late vicar, the Rev. Dr. Sharpe, is still in the International Exhibition, and will not be placed in the church until the Exhibition is closed in November. When these three remaining features are added, the parish church of Doncaster will have made good its claim to a foremost place among the sacred buildings of the country. THE SCREW STEAMER PETERHOFF AND THE BLOCKADE.—Many reports have of late been circulated to the efleet that the steamer Peterhoff, Captain Highly, be longing to Messrs. Z. Pearson and Co., of this p , rt, was in tended to run over to one of the blockaded ports of America. We have good authority tor stating that such has not been the case. On Monday the owner received a letter from Captain Highly, stating that he left Bermuda for Nassau on the 13th of August and arrived at the latter port on the 23d. When sighting Nassau Captain Highly observed what turned out to be a Federal cruiser lying too off the harbour, and it was afterwards ascertained that she had only arrived in the neighbourhood a few hours before the Peterhoff, and had doubtless been watching for that vessel. However, the cruiser made up to the Peterhoff with the intention of at least overhauling her. The commander of the 131itish frigate Melpomene, which is stationed at Nassau to prevent any outrage on the British flag, saw the movement, and slipping her moorings at once made towards the two, when the cruiser drew off and sailed away. The Peterhoff then en tered the harbour and has since discharged her cargo. CLOSE OF THE SCOTCH SALMON FISHING. --Thu~ salmon fishing in the northern Scottish rivers terminated on Saturday last. Alike in regard to the numbers caught and the prices obtained, the present season has been far superior to any year for a considerable period; so that the proprietors and the " taeksmen " have been well remune rated for their labours. No little share of the increased de mand for the "Royal fish" and higher rate of cost may be attributed to the influx of strangers to London during the past few months. The Duke of Richrutied's great river, the Spey, has this year yielded twice the number of salmon it did last season, and three times the amount of trout. Another fine water in the same locality, the Deveron, has been unusually prolific both for net and rod. On the Bata. shire coast the sea-fishings are estimated as being worth more than they have been for 10 years back. At the sta tions of Portknockie and Whitehills alone some 12,000 fish have been taken, On the Findhorn, .he Ness, and the Beauly, all good fishing rivers, there have been better takes than for some years back, though it cannot be said that either of these water. has been so productive as it used to be in earlier seasons. A t the Dee an d lion —fi,lai ngs , Aber deen, there has been an advance in the number this year' over last--in the one case of 3 iourth, in the other of a NiXt4, the fish being,further, ofeuelleztt bi ze uzla 2ILREAIENING TO SHOO 7 SIR GEORG. GREY. I.IOW- STREET.—(THIS DAY.) George Winter, 70, a currier, residing at 16, Newcastle' court, Strand, was brought up by Inspector Mackenzie, on a warrant obt a i ne d a f ew d ays ago, charged with sen ding . letters to Sir G eorge G rey, her Mjesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, in which he threatened to shoot him and murder him. Mr. Pollard attended from the office of the solicitor to the Treasury. Mr. Henry Cole said—l am a clerk in the Treasury. 1 received the letter I now hold in my hand, yesterday. It was as follows : To her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Departweiat. Oct. 13, 180. I have repeatedly sent letter after letter, and received no answer. Provided the asylum business of Colney Hatch is not attended to by 12 of this day, I shall dis charge my double. barrelled pistol the first opportunity that off,rs.—l am your humble servant, GEORGE WINTEzt. J. H. Cole, Esq. On the flyleaf was a letter as follows " I demanded my rights openly at St. Paul's, before the congregation. They said 1 aimed at the Archbishop, Mark, Luke, hnd John. The bell was tolling for the corpse. The moment I reached the bottom step, my rights io the asyltla I demanded, or the keys and orgc.n allowed by the authority of the Queen. Some gentlomen pulled me down on the chair. I shall indict them for the assault and bat ery. careful I don't mistake you for the Secretary of State. am in no way particular." Other letters in the hands of the police referred to shoot ing Sir G. Grey, and having blood for supper. They were all enclosed in the official envelopes of the Paymaster - General's office, and addressed "J: H. Cole, Treasury." Mrs. Elizabeth Brown said—l reside at 16, Newcastle court. The prisoner lodged in our house. I have repeat,' edly seen him writing. The letter just read is the letter I saw in the prisoner's hand a few days ago. Dr. Richard Paynter said—l am a surgeon, residing is Brydges-street. I have examined the prisoner. He, telly me Sir George Grey is shot, aLd that he (the prisoner) is accused of having done it; but he says it was a soldier who did the act. I am decidedly of opinion that he is a person of unsound mind. He asked me who was suprome in this country, Sir G. Grey or Dr. Milman. I told him Sir a. Grey in some eases, and Dr. Milman in others. Mr. Henry (to prisoner)—Do you hear what is saia about you? Prisoner—Yes. I know Dr. AU'man has forgiven met and I have beenin the cathedral every day since. There's no occasion, therefore, to go into the matter. Mr. Henry—Do you mean to say Dr. Milman has forgiven you for shooting Sir G. Grey. Prisoner—Yes, he's got the power. _ _ _ Mr. Paynter—He has various other delusions about the attacking of Buckingham Palace and St. Paul's Cathedral. Mr. Henry—lt appears that the man is clearly a lunatic. Just let the female witness stand forward. Do you believe the person to be a person of unsound mind from what you have seen of him. Mrs. Brown—Well, when I have spoken to him at home he always appeared right enough, He always thanked 1 0 when I did anything for him, and appeared calm enough• He pays 3d. a night for his bed, and when he has anything' extra he always pays for it. Mr. Henry—There appears to be not the slightest doubt about his insanity. Inspector Mackenzie--I have here, your worship, a nunl" ber of ocher letters, all bearing evidence of having be ea written by a person of unsound mind. Mr. H enry —There is no doubt of it. Prisoner—l tell you again Dr. Milman has forgiven rae for what I have done. Mr. Henry—l will send the prisoner for examination 11 the parish surgeon, and if he concurs with the opinion of Dr. Paynter I will sign the usual order for his admission to Hanwell Asylum. The prisoner was then remanded. POOR LAW BOARD REPORT. The annual report of the Poor Law Board states that the expenditure for the relief of the poor in England and Wale s in the year ending at Lady-day, 1861, was £5,778,943, equal to a rate of ss. 9d. per head on the population, being 3a. more per head than in 1860. But in 1834 it was no le e l than Bs. 9.1 d. per head; in 1837 it h a d f al l en to ss. 5d., and h s ever since ranged between that sum and nearly 7s. (in 1848). This is the expenditure for relief of the poo r ; salaries of officers, and all expenses connected with relief; but the poor rate is for a much larger amount, including the year 1860-61 as much as £1,925,210 for county, boroug h ; and police rate, and comprising other charges unconnecte d with poor rel ef, bri ng i ng t h e t o t a l up to £8 , 395,211, o ' r which £330,548 was contributed by the Trea,mry, and the rest had to be raised by the rate. The net annual value of the rateable property in 1841 was £62,540,030, and in 1856 it had grown to £71,840,271; in this last year it was ascer• tamed that the gross estimated rental was £86,077,67 6 ' Returning now to poor law affairs proper, we learn that th e number in receipt of relief at one tim e , ta ki ng the mean e' ,, the numbers on the Ist of July, 1862, and the Ist of .I' 3 ' l '; 1861, was 883,921 in th e year 18 60-1, being 4.4 per cen t. 0: the population.
