It seems to have been one misfortune of the Federal Government that the States which remained faithfel to the Union, nevertheless, abounded in traitors. While we heard, even at the beginning, of but few Unionists in the South, we have never ceased to hear of many traitors in the North. At this moment Congress is discussing the expulsion of one of its own members, Mr. BRIGHT, on the charge of sympathy and correspondence with the South. At Washington the ladies have been sub ject to great suspicion, and, as well as judges and other professional gentlemen, have been either confined in prison or been honoured with a sen tinel at their doors. Traitors are suspected every where, and the most extreme measures have been adopted to prevent their treachery, The Rams Corpus writ has been suspended on the sole authority of the PRESIDENT, and Congress has virtually acknowledged that it had no right to interfere. The consequence is that the political prisons, Fort Lafayette being the most noted, are full of political prisoners. All the " suspects" of all grades ages, and classes, are crowded together in these gloomy casemates. The picture given by Lord CARNARVON of their condition, and on what he says to be good authority, is gloomy indeed, only second to that of the captives in the Black Hole at Calcutta. In a chamber 14ft. by 24ft. twenty-three of these accused but untried political prisoners were confined, two-thirds of them in irons; their condi tion in regard to ventilation, besides the gloom of the place, was intolerable. If the small windows were opened the chill was unbearable; if they were closed, the atmosphere of the crowded little rooms became suffocating. There were not even the or di nary provisions for decency, and no bedding, or other requisites, prisoners seem, i ndeed, to have been suffering, without trial, the p un i shment of low ow comforts.felns. Many e of them being, too, Persons, wh o h ad b een accus tomed to every comfort of g oo d society. Taking, as we feel bound to do, Lord CARNAlryo li , s authori ties to be satisfactory, the treatment of thei r poht i • • . cal prisoners by the Northerns is a disgrace to their civilisation. However they may resent the wish of the South for independence, and dislike to become a free but smaller State, it is inexcusable to treat as felons men who only differ from them on a grave political question. _ _ _ What brought the subject, however, before the House of Lords is the fact that some British sub jects had shared this wretched imprisonment, and had lain for some time, confined on suspicion, while trial was refused them. Worst of all, they had been required to abjure their allegiance to Queen VICTORIA, and to swear allegiance to the United States before they would be indulged with a trial The explanation is on the whole satis factory, since, so far as Lord RUSSELL could ascer tain, there were real grounds of suspicion ; in cases where it was proved that suspicion was groundless, the parties were liberated, and in no case was the oath of allegiance knowingly exacted from a British subject. Lord LYONS had watched the cases closely, and redress appeared to be easily and promptly obtained. While nothing can excuse such inhumanity as Lord CARNARTON described, still it is not the business of England to interfere with it. If Mr. LINCOLN chooses to rival King BOMBA in regard to political prisoners, he will surely enough have his reward. All we can ask is that Englishmen shall not be imprisoned from mere nor subjected to unnecessary cruelties without proof of their having violated the laws of the country and the duties of neutrality. It is an unfortunate thing that between Americans and us the proof of nationality is not patent in language, complexion, or features. Some cases of hardship may arise out of this uncertainty, but it is only fair to confess that,. Mr. SEWARD does not appear to have, knowingly, imprisoned, ill-used, and compelled to objectionable oaths any individual whom he knew at the time to be a British subject. 1862 threatens to become frightfully remarkable for its multiplicity of extraordinary accidents. Hardly had the new year begun when all England was appalled by the tidings of the burying alive of 200 miners, men and boys, in the new Hartley Col liery Pit. Scarcely had we realized the full horror of that wholesale calamity, when a telegram from the immediate neighbourhood brought the intelligence of the hideous, but it was a comfort to think, in stantaneous destruction of an unhappy lady crushed to death among the whirling machinery of an iron factory. And now, almost within bowshot of our office where we are writing, and as recently as one o'clock yesterday there occurs an accident as eccentric of its kind, and as deplorable in the agonising mutilations caused by it, as any of which there has been record for a long while past. It is the strange ness of these catastrophes, the unusual circumstances characterising each in turn, that render them so peculiarly entitled to more than passing considera tion as accidents of a wholly exceptional kind. Exceptional, of course, strictly speaking, the two dreadful calamities just particularised only are in regard to the circumstances attendant upon them. Not at all exceptional, unfortunately, either of them in their origin. Often and often before now we have had to relate the death by suffocation of men and boys sud denly trapped in a coal-mine. Often and often we have had miserable occasion to mention as of recent occurrence the entanglement, and death by mutilation, of poor factory girls among the cogged-wheels and whirling straps, and throb bing pistons of the machinery in our mills and factories. It is exceptional now, however, that two hundred men and boys should have perished toge ther at " one fell swoop" in a coal-pit—as the other day down at New Hartley. It is excep tional again when the female destroyed by unguarded machinery in an iron foundry is not a poor factory girl engaged there at her work, but a chance holiday visitor, and that visitor the wife of the owner of the works thus at once the scene and the cause of her awful death by mutilation. The poor lady thus fatally entangled in the machinery by the trail of her garments, not in the recent case being doomed to death (as has not unfrequently happened before now even among the humble fn. tory operatives) by the absurd use of crinoline— the victim the other day, upon the occasion referred to, being, in point of fact, as was certified particularly at the time, a member of the Society of Friends. It was merely, therefore, we repeat, in consideration of the circumstances attendant upon them that the two frightful casualties we have been just now commenting upon can be regarded --as by reason of their unusual circumstances they certainly can be regarded—as exceptional. Not so is it, however, in reference to the singular and peculiarly deplorable accident of yes terday, across Waterloo- bridge, down in the Waterloo-road, hard by Stamford-street. There the accident, both in its origin and in the circumstances attendant upon it from first to last, was essentially exceptional. A distraint for rent —a tankard of porter—a closed door—an endea vour to force an entrance through that closed door—a crowd in the street suddenly collected together to watch the course of events in this miserable little disturbance—these are the preli minaries ! Suddenly an iron grating in the pave ment gives way under the unusual pressure of some thirty chance spectators, men, women, and chil dren. Occurring as the accident did in the Water loo-road at the point indicated, when the grating and the pavement around ,it gave way abruptly, the victims of the casua!ty were not precipitated into the depth of an ordinary area or coal cellar. They dropped down an abyss of some 35 feet to the level of Stamford-street—the mutilations caused by their descent so far, pell-mell, and all huddled together, and battered afterwards by the falling rails and flagstones, being something lamentable even to read the descriptions of. Broken limbs, fractured skulls, here a crushed pelvis, there a spine all but dislo cated, these and other wounds of a more or less frightful character at once gave ample employment to the surgeons in the surrounding hospitals. As upon the occurrence of every unusual accident, of every accident either unusual in its origin or in its attendant circumstances (and here it was, as we have said, distinctly and obviously both) one of the first thoughts naturally enough is—how the recur rence of anything of the kind can possibly be pre vented. It is easy enough to recognise in the instance of the accident at the New Hartley Colliery that the evil of the single shaft system was the source of that dread calamity, and that by rendering imperative by Act of Parliament the working of any coal mine in the United Kingdom with two shafts instead of with one shaft, no two hundred men and boys can by possibility be trapped again as those poor fel ows were trapped the other day down in North= berland. Again, in the instance of that poor lady's death so soon afterwards in the immediate neigh bourhood—the remedy is obvious upon the instant, it is the same remedy that.we so often have insisted upon as requisite, viz., the due and proper " guard ing" of machinery. But in regard to the casualty yesterday afternoon in the Waterloo that took place road, nothing more can be suggested unhappily than a greater display of vigilance in regard to the in dangerous security of our streets, particularly MR. and MRS.

Peaceful as Lords PALMERSTON and DERBY pro pose that the session should be, it is impossible to compel all combatants to ground their arms. Least of all is it possible in the Church Rates battle, the prelusive skirmishing on which begins to-night. During the recess Sir John TRELAWNY avowed his policy, and it is one which appears to us both fair and manly. The Speaker gave his casting vote last year for the consideration of some other plan than unconditional liberation. The honourable gentleman gathered, he said, from the debate that such was the wish of a great number, probably a majority, as some who voted with Sir JOHN TRE LAWNY had expressed themselves favourably to a modification. One of Sir JOHN'S chief supporters, Mr. BRIGHT himself, suggested the possibility of abolishing the power to levy compulsorily, but of leaving the parish vestry, and all the machinery of laying and collecting a rate intact. Lord EBURY has suggested the same plan. Many of the strongly pro-rate party declare this equivalent to the aboli tion of the rate, which, however, in an important sense it is not, since it leaves to Churchmen what many of them demand so loudly, the right to tax thelnselvee. If they demand this right and then refuse to pay the tax, they would convict them selves of obvious hypocrisy. Sir JOHN TRELAWNY, however, maintains that there is no practicable modification of the rate, but that it must be abolished. Believing, therefore, his bill to be the one which must be eventually carried, he places it once more in a position of advantage. He lays it before the House ,at the earliest pos sible day. As, however, the Speaker's decision throws the onus of producing a measure of compromise, on the party to which the Speaker gave his vote for that purpose, he will give them full time to introduce their scheme or schemes. What they are, we well know. There are indeed but two modifications of any importance proposed— one would make the rate an owners' rate, the other would in one way or another exempt Dis senters. The advocates of these respective me thods will have full time, before Easter, to put their proposals into the best shape they can, and to let the House debate them. Sir JOHN TRELAWNY will thus show that he does not in the least flinch from the position he has so long and honourably maintained, while he also shows, that if he does not modify his abolition pr o p osa l himself, he is open to the suggestion of any work ing arrangement which others can offer. But he cannot offer one himself, or allow what he believes the right proposal to wait on the possible failure of the compromise party to produce their scheme. The Government have announced their intention to propose nothing. Mr. DISRAELI has demanded t of them, but the fate of Mr. WALPOLE'S well meant proposal is certainly no great inducement for a rival Government to try its hand on compro mise. Few men could be animated by a more conciliating spirit than the member for Cambridge University, and where he could not succeed, it seems to us little likely that any other Home Sec retary would be more successful. Mr. DISRAELI might as well try his own hand. We should certainly like to see his bill. He has taken so prominent a part in the opposition to Sir JOHN'S that it might fairly be asked of him to show what in practice he is prepared to stand tc. A statesman, as he must be esteemed, can hardly be let off with taking no responsibility like some pri vate member. What the course of the Church-rate struggle this year will be, it is impossible to predict. We do not yet even know whether the Opposition now responsible for bringing forward a bill will fulfil the duty which honourably belongs to them, or whether they will leave the Abolition Bill to fight its way without a rival. If they do, they deserve to see it carried not only in the Commons but in the Lords. To Mr. BRIGHT'S proposal we can see no objection. It gets rid of the objectionable feature of the rate—the coercion for religious objects, and leaves the Church its accustomed processes. If neither this nor any other be proposed, then Sir JOHN TRELAWNY ought to be allowed to settle the question once and for all. Mr. COWPER would really seem to have, some how or another, set his heart upon destroying, as effectually as possible, the sylvan beauty and seclusion of Kensington-gardens. Twice he has en deavoured to cut up the turf there, ander the green vista of the avenues of trees, by marking out a new horse ride—a horse ride that, first of all, actually bisected the gardens in the most barbarous manner—the second trial of the horse-ride now threatening to skirt the gardens by the dry moat or thereabouts: not content with that reiterated adventure for the advantage, not of " the million," but of " the upper ten thousand," the Chief Com missioner of Public Works is now resolved upon carrying a straight line across Kensing ton Gardens and Hyde Park from Bayswater to Kensington Gore. His design is to have constructed there a sunken road—bridged over here and there, and occasionally as under the old fashionable horse ride of Rotten Row tunnelled out. A temporary convenience this will be of course during the Great Exhibition—but while merely a temporary convenience, we fear certain to be afterwards, for Kensington Gardens especially, a permanent disfigurement. What possibly can be the reason of this mysterious antipathy apparently entertained by Mr. COWPER in respect to the charms of the picturesque seclusion of those beau tiful sylvan haunts ?

The Cunard Royal Mail steamer Arabia arrived off the harbour at an early hour this morning from New York, with dates to the 30th January. The Burnside expedition had encountered a severe storm, and had been delayed by fogs. It had, however, arrived at Hatteras Inlet, whence it is intended to operate against some point of the North Carolina coast. The following official report of General Burnside to the War Department is from the New York Times : " Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 28. A special messenger, with despatches from Gen. Burn side, reached Washington this morning. They are dated Headquarters, Department of North Carolina, Hatteras Inlet, Jan. 28, 1862.' "The messenger left Hatteras on Sunday. Gen. Burn side states : " We left our anchorage at Annapolis on Thursday, the 9th, and after a protracted passage, owing to dense fog, arrived at Fortress Monroe on Friday night at 12 o'clock. Leaving Fortress Monroe on Saturday, at 10 o'clock in the morning, we proceeded at once to sea ; but, owing to fogs on Sunday night, our progress was very slow. On Monday, the 13th the weather cleared, with a heavy wind and rough sea, which caused our vessels to labour very heavily, and some were obliged to cut loose from the vessels they were towing. Most of them, however, passed over the bar and anchored inside the harbour on the morning of the 15th, just in time to escape the severe gale of Monday night and Tuesday. The propeller City of New York ran on the bar at the entrance to the harbour, and, owing to the severe weather and want of small boats, we could ren der her no assistance. She was laden with stores, and was lost.' " The General also says he had been led to believe that he would find experienced pilots at Hatteras, but bad great difficulty in accomplishing his wish, for want of proper ac commodation. He adds that he would commence that day to build a wharf for landing supplies. The men were cheerful and patient, and he would proceed with confidence. " An accident occurred in an effort to relieve the steamer New York, by which a boat was swamped, and the lives of Col. Allen, of the 9th New Jersey, h,s surgeon, and a mate of the boat were also lost. " After the arrival of the expedition at Hatteras the enemy made their appearance in one or two vessels on a reconnoitring expedition. Our boats gave chase and drove them back. The transports and vessels grounded will be got off by the aid of the tug-boats. Only one, the New York, was lost, and no lives, the three above referred to excepted." The gunboat Zonave, though not mentioned in the official report, and the Grapeshot, ene of the five floating batteries, are also stated to have been lost. The City of New York had stores to the value of 200,000 dots. on board. Several of the vessels intended to supply the fleet with water had refused to start at the setting out of the expedition The forward movement of General M'Clellan has not yet commenced. That officer is in good health, and has appeared before the Committee on the Defences and Fortifications of the Great Lakes and Rivers. From Missouri we learn that — "A large body of troops is moving from Rolla, Sedalia, and Ottervillo, the destination of which is supposed to be Springfield. The following is from Major Wright's report t > Gen. Wyman :—Price's force does not exceed 8,000 to 10,000, all State troops. Price has been notified of his appointment of Major-General in the Confederate army, but has not been confirmed ; consequently the Confederate forces decline to reinforce him. They say to him they have 30,000 troops ready to join him when they receive the official notice that Mclntosh has gone to reinforce the rebels in the Indian nation. Most of General Rain's men have gone home : the balance (400) are at Sarcoxie and Granby. Last Thursday Price was informed the Federals were moving against him in forco from Rollo. It caused great excite ment in the rebel camp. Price expects his appointment to be confirmed within two weeks, when he will be reinforced by the Confederates from Arkansas. Unless he can take command of the whole force he will be obliged to retreat. He has a large numter of waggons, and ting everything in readiness to decamp, He intends falling back on Pineville, unless speedily rein forced. He has a large number of men on the sick list, also foraging parties capturing men, Many Union men were de stroying their property. Ho has also fifteen days' supplies on hand. Each rebel regiment has an organised corps of the best marksmen to pick off field officers. A large amount of property was seized by the Provost-Marshal, to pay the amount assessed against prominent Secessionists by Gen. Halleck, for the benefit of the Union refugees, and will be sold at auction on Monday, February 3." The correspondence of the Cincinnatti Gazette contains a lengthened account of the battle of Mill Creek : " The enemy, under the immediate command of Major- General Crittenden, marched, eight regiments strong, from their camp, last Saturday night. Their mounted grand guards were skirmishing through the greater part of the night with ours. Colonel Wolford's cavalry were doing out-post duty that night, and by their behaviour then, and in the battle afterwards, completely cleared away the re proach which some unworthy officers have brought upon them. They will always fight well when Wolford is with them. The 10th Indiana occupied a wooden hill on the right of the road. On the left was a field, stretching down the hill for several hundred yards. In front of the woods was another field of about 20 acres. "The enemy formed in these two fields, attacking the Indiana troops both in front and upon their left flank. A section of Captain Standart's battery had been brought up, and was stationed in the road. The attack here was made about 7 o'clock in the morning. Colonel Manson coming up to the position just after the attack begun, and seeing that his men must be overpowered before the other regi ments could come up, ordered his men to fall back, which they did in good order, fighting as they went. Captain Standart reluctantly gave up the privilege of giving the enemy one good blizzard' from that point, and retired too "Immediately to the rear of the woods, where the 10th were stationed, is another field, with a steep descent to a ravine, and then somes another dense forest. On the left of the road the clearings continue to the ravine, the sides of which at that point are covered with a growth of scrub oaks and other timber. "After crossing the river another field lies on the left of the road. The 10th retired through the field on the right of a road, and through the weeds for about 150 yards to the rear of the ravine. At this point Col. Fry's 4th Kentucky came up, and formed along the fence which separates the road from the field on the left. There is no fence on the right of the road at that point. Ihe two regiments here formed in the shape of a V, its point towards the enemy advancing from the ravine, behind which they had re formed after their temporary success in the first attack. For nearly an hour they tried to break that V, but failed. "What rebel regiments came through the wc.ods to attack the 10th at this place I have not learned. Those which attacked Colonel Fry were Battle's Tennessee and the 15th Mississipi, the Wigfal Rifles,' and the Mississipi Tigers,' as they loved to call themselves. These were the crack regiments of the enemy, and they sustained their reputa tion. Again and again they charged across the field, but were always met by the terrible fire of the Kentucky 4th, and were driven back. "At the point of the V died General Zollicoffer. He fell nearer our camp than any other man of his army. Ho was with Battle's Regiment, his own home friends, born and brought up around him at Nashville. A short distance from him, to his right, a party of his men had been broken from their comrades, and were herding together like frightened deer. Col. Fry's men were just about to fire on them. Col. Fry himself was at the right of his regiment, at the point of greatest danger. General Zollicoffer was on foot, and within a few feet of the colonel. A gum coat concealed his uniform. Seeing the condition of his men, as the colonel rode up General Zollicoffer said to Colonel Fry, ' Colonel, you would not fire upon your friends would you ?' Colonel Fry supposed, from the general's manner and remark, that he was one of our own officers, and at once replied, Certainly not, Sir; I have no such inten tion.' Ho turned and rode a few steps, when one of the general's aids fired at him, wounding his horse. Believing that he was tricked, Colonel Fry at once wheeled and fired at the General. The latter raised his hand to his breast and fell dead. Another ball struck him at the same moment, I believe, in the arm, " The dtath of their general does not seem to have greatly disheartened the enemy. They continued their at tack with as much vehemence as ever. The 2d Minne sota Regiment came up and formed along the fence, on the left of the 4th Kentucky. The rebels still extended their line to flank us on that side. The 15th Mississippi charged up to the fence, and , the men in the two regiments fought hand to hand, catching hold of each other's guns, and try ing to drag them through and over the fence ; but it was all in vain. "On they went. The enemy is driven through the woods, where an hour and a-half before they nearly sur rounded the 10th, the heroes of Rich Mountain. Many regiments are completely broken, and run tor the forests on the left. Wood's Alabama regiment breaks for a swamp, and scatter there. It has a home look to them, and is a safer place than the road er the fields. Someregiments act together, and form in a field a mile to the rear of their first position. But Standart's shells, thrown from the hill where the section was so nearly taken, begin to fall among them. They fly again, pursued by our victorious troops. For the third and last time they form, only to be scattered as before. " After this the route is complete. Panic-stricken, they fly in all directions. The pursuit is pressed up to the very intrenchments of the enemy. Two of their pieces have been taken. The third, which they took with them, is only saved to be left behind in their flight across the river. Our cannon open on their camp, our shells falling into their most effectual battery, killing four of the men at their guns and driving the rest away. The darkness of nightfall only prevents a general assault, and our troops lie down, hoping in the morning is complete the good work of that Sabbath, a work they had not sought, for they were resting that day, preparatory to the attack which General Thomas had intended to make on Monday." CANADA. LIVERPOOL, FEB. 9. The Canadian Mail steamship Hibernian, Captain Grange, has arrived with advices to the 27th ult. The Hibernian was detained until the morning of the 27th, in consequence of the non-arrival of the Canadian mails, the storm causing them to be late. On the 28th she passed a steamer, supposed to be the Anglo-Saxon, bound west. On the 29th she passed a ship-rigged steamer, funnel abaft the mainmast, bound west. On the 30th she passed a large steamer. On the Ist of February she ex changed signals with one of the Company's steamers. The transport steamship Mauritius put into St. Tohn's, Newfoundland, on the 24th, short of coal. She experienced very severe weather, and had to throw a number of horses overboard. The Quebec Chronicle of the 25th says : " The military authorities continue their task of perfecting the defences of the city with unabated vigour. scarcely a day passes but guns of heavy calibre are conveyed to the citadel for the purpose of being placed in position ; and no available point will be left without its piece of ordnance. We saw yesterday a 9 0-pounder —a weighty-looking piece of gun-metal—being dragged to its destination by a working party of the garrison." The Quebec City Council had resolved upon the following address of condolence to her Majesty:— "To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty,—We your Ma jesty's faithful and loyal subjects, the mayor, coun cillors, and citizens of the city of Quebec, beg leave with feelings of deep and respectful sym pathy, to express to your Majesty our sincere con dolence with you in the great affliction with which it has pleased God to visit your Majesty in the death of your beloved and illustrious Consort, his Royal Highness Prince Albert. " We feel this sad event has occurred at a time I when your Majesty was more than ever in need of that faithful assistance and enlightened counsel which it has been the especial province of the Prince to render with honour and advantage to the nation during the eventful period of his connection with our country. Placed in a more than ordinary difficult position, he succeeded in winning the esteem of all. He honoured with his advocacy all the useful institutions of the country, and to him the Empire is largely indebted for the advance ment which has taken place in the arts and sciences of the community. To his children he has left an example which affords a new guarantee for the happiness and prosperity of England. " Devotedly attached as we are to our connection with your Majesty's Crown, it is not only with the good and beloved Sovereign we sympathise, but, in common with the whore of our fellow subjects, we feel profoundly for your Majesty in the rela tion of wife and mother—a relation which has en deared you in the affections of ycur peopl e . "That the Almighty may enable your Majesty to , support your great bereavement with resignation to His Divine will, and long sp are you to guard your Royal family and guide the destinies of this great Empire, is our earnest prayer. _ - - " THOMAS POPE, Mayor of Quebec. ~ Quebec, Jan. 4."

THOMAS'S ROSPIIAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The selection of a site for St. Thomas's Hospital is of great importance to the sick and dis abled on the Surrey side of the river. The lamentable accident of yesterday is a case in point. The evidence given before the Parliamentary Committee by the treasurer of the hospital, and by several influential governors and officers, renders it virtually certain that a removal from the old site must take place, notwithstanding the remonstrances and imaginary legal difficulties set up by " Borough Market." Every object for which the establish ment exists exclaims against any attempt to make shift with the present site—already too small for the accruing exigencies of a locality in which one of the densest and poorest populations of London is employed in dangerous and insalubrious depart ments of labour. The combined din of street and railway is seriously injurious to nervous, enfeebled, and excitable patients. It the noise be often FO great that, in some of the wards the medical men can scarcely hear each other when in consultation, I need not say what the effect must be upon inva lids, to whose every fibre physical agony imparts enhanced sensitiveness. With the railway close to the windows this pernicious uproar, so hostile to therapeutic efforts, so incompatible with "fair play" to nature and medical science, would, of course, be aggravated. But discussion on this part of the subject is, I trust, superfluous. It may, I believe, be taken for granted that the determination of the governors is, in the words of one of your correspondents, " to give to the world a model hospital, an institution by which the highest amount of benefit will be con ferred on the poor, and, at the same time, the inte rests of science be promoted to the highest degree." To realise this object it is essential that the site should be easily accessible by the great mass of poor patients, out-door as well as in door ; that it be in a. healthy locality, with ample space ; and that it he sufficiently near town for convenient attention by students and by eminent medical men, whose pro fessional time is so valuable and so fully engrossed. Paraphrasing the language of" Guardian" I submit to common sense that it is utterly impossible that all these conditions can exist miles away from town. I pass over the prescriptive right of three centu ries of possession by the Borough district, though sound expediency, as well as equity, would not wholly ignore it. But let me put the plain question, whence come the majority of violent accidents, sud den and acute attacks of illness, and cases in which everything depends on promptitude of treatment ? Undoubtedly from the crowded neighbourhoods within a comparatively short distance from the bridges ; while they come in only intermittent units from the remoter and sparsely peopled districts. Your correspondent " Guardian," who seems to contemplate an hospital as distant as possible from where it is most wanted, talks in very vague terms, about a " large proportion" of patients coming frcm long distances ; about " little more than a third" coming from the immediate vicinity. of Southwark and Bermondsey; and "nearly one quarter" from a lengthy list of re mote places. Now, the statistical truth is that more than one-half come from the Borough district and localities nearly adjoining, including Lambeth, Newington, Walworth, &c., and scarcely one-fifth from that district of which,. as " Guardian" says, the centre is distant four miles or more from St. Thomas's. This surely ought to set at rest the ques tion of expediency, or rather of life-saving accessi bility for the vast crowd of pressing cases well represented by a professional writer as those in which a short distance would " turn the scale of life and death to many a wretch who should be compelled. to leave the Borough in search of a hospital." Place the hospital where you will some patients will have to come a distance. The difference is that if you build it on a thinly inhabited spot, qu ite away from town, almost all must travel many miles (thus making regular attendance by poor out-door patients quite impossible) ; whereas by having the means of relief near the chief focus of the want, the evil of distance and delay is minimised to the many'. Let all practical attention be paid to the scattered units ; but the wants of the crowded masses should obviously give the cue to the arrangements, As to medical men in full practice expending two or three hours during the busiest part of the day in making their way by rail or brougham (or both) to and from a country hospital, the idea may be dis missed as visionary. Respecting the student ele ment, suffice it to say that remote suburban quarters, while by no means shutting the door upon 4 , temp tation," would obstruct access to those means of consultation with the experience of others, of refer ence, general observation, &c., so indispensable to proficiency, and to be found only in great centres of population. The hap-hazard assertions of " Guardian" re specting the opinions of medical authorities are as inconclusive, though not so indecorous, as his hi sinuations about " private interests," nor in such poor taste as his apochryphal statements as to the wishes of the late Prince Consort. When, however, he endeavours, " upon sanitary grounds" to prohibit the consideration of certain. convenient situations, including the Surrey Gar dens, I take leave to refer him to the really authentic opinion of " high medical authorities," as indicated by one of their principal representatives in the press. The testimony of the Lancet is, that the Surrey Gardens " combine the requisite advan tages in a superior degree." " Here," it continues, " is a site exceeding 12 acres, with a soil chiefly gravel, where the air is free and salubrious, with good facilities for drainage that will soon be im proved by the construction of the southern low level main drain, and standing in the midst of broad roads, connecting all the metropolitan bridges, and concentrating the traffic from the southern counties." The vital importance of good roads and extensive communications for the prompt conveyance of patients need not be descanted on. The drainage of the gardens, too, has already been carried to an advanced stage towards completeness, for perfecting which all that is required is the con clusion of the main drainage works now in active progress. Gas and water of the purest quality are laid on, In short, much of the work that would be necessary ou an unimproved cite is here already executed. In adducing these facts I do not mean to pro pound any dictum respecting the adoption of this or that site, but simply to indicate principlEs which appear to me of primary importance to the interests involved, and to " guard" the public from being being misled by fallacies, prejudices, and assump tions.—Your obedient servant, F.R.C.S. LAMBETH BRIDGE COMFANY.—The report of the directors states that the whole of the land required for the works is In the hands of the contractors. It has been ne cessary to purchase more land than has been actually required for the site of the bridge, but this will become of value when the bridge is open, and way be resold with ad vantage. The terms of purchase have been satisfactorily arranged in every case, except with the occupiers of the , Lambeth Wharf, and a portion of the land on the West minster side. The directors have arranged with the London- Gas Light Company to lay down two mains of 18 inches diameter, which has required an increase in the strength of the structure, for which the company receive a payment of £3,000, with the advantage of the bridge being lighted free of cast. The report of the engineer shows that rapid pro gress has been made in the works. CIIARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A DERBY SOLI CITOR.—At the Derby Polico-court, yesterday, Joseph Shaw, solicitor, Full-street, Derby, and high bailiff of the Derby County Court, aged 35, was brought up in custody on a charge of forgery. The prisoner was apprehended at Normanton, near Derby, at an early hour on Sunday morn ing, by Mr. Hilton, head constable of Derby, Inspector Fearn, and Detective Vessey. The warrant upon which the prisoner was apprehended stated "that the prisoner, on the Bth day of April, 1859, feloniously uttered a deed purport ing to convey certain land in Bath-street, Ilkeston, to• Thomas hives and his heirs, the said deed being forged and counterfeit, and by this means defrauded John Adsetts, the person to whom it was uttered, of £850." 'Ebe court was densely crowded by parties wishing to hear the case, the apprehension of the accused (who is most respectably con nected) having caused a great sensation in the town. Mr. Huish, barrister (Midland circuit), instructed by Mr. G• 11. H. Cox, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution; and Leech, solicitor, appeared for the prisoner, who, when' placed in the dock, seemed to fiel most acutely the serious position in which he was placed, The prisoner was re manded fort week.
