" 31- 5 1 %-4 . . k regret to learn by telegraph that Li ..eneral Sir Joseph Thackwell, G.C.8., died — slit. 11 S.; denly on Friday, at Aghada Hall, his seat in County Cork, from disease of the hea:t. The gallant officer, who had greatly distinguished himself, was fourth son of the late Mr. John Thackwell, of Rye Court, Worcestershire. He entered the army in April, 1800, and during his career of nearly 60 years had gained the highest distinction in the service,parti cularly in the East Indies. Sir Joseph's services in the Peninsula are thus recorded by Hart :—" Served the campaign in Gallicia and Leon, under Sir John Moore, and was engaged in several skirmishes, and present at the battle of Corunna. Served the campaigns of 1813 and 1814 in the Penin- sula, including the battles of Vittoria, the • Pyrenees, in front of Pampeluna, 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th July ; blockade of Pampeluna from . . 18th to the 31st October, when it surrendered •, battle of Orthes, affair at Tarbes, and battle of Toulouse, beside s man y a ff a i rs o f a d vance d guards, . outposts, &c, ; served also the campaign of 1815, including the action at Quatre Bras, the retreat on the following day, and battle of Waterloo. Com manded the cavalry division of the army of the Indus during the Affghanistan campaign ; was pre sent at the storm and capture of Ghuznee ; and commanded the second column of the army on its march from Cabool to Bengal." He commanded the cavalry division of the army of Gwalior through- out the Mahratta war in 1843, and commanded the cavalry division at the action at Maharajpore, on , the 29th of December that year. Sir Joseph greatly distinguished himself in the operations against the Sikhs, in the campaigns of 1846 and 1849, for which eminent services he received the thanks of Parliament and of the East India Company, and • was rewarded in the last•mentioned year by her - Majesty nominating him a Grand Cross of the Bath, the gallant general having previously for his military services been made a companion and knight of that order. During his honourable career in the service he had been several times wounded. At Vittoria he was severely contused on the , right shoulder ; and at Waterloo he was so badly wounded that he.had to have his arm_amputated, and had two horses shot under him. On his return to England from the East Indies he was appointed inspector general of cavalry in succession to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. In 1834 he was made a Knight of the Hanoverian Order, had received the silver war medal and three clasps for his services in the PeninSula, a medal for Sobraon, where he commanded the cavalry, and medal and clasps for the last Punjaub campaign; also the empty honour of the Dooraneo order, for services in Affghanistan. In November, 1849, he was appointed colonel of the 16th (the Queen's) Regiment of Light Dragoons (Lancers), which becomes at the disposal of the Horse Guards by his lamented decease. He was an intimate friend of the late General Havelock and of Lord Clyde, Sir Harry Smith, Lord Gough, and other noble and gallant veterans of the army. His commissions bore date as follows :—Cornet, April 22, 1800; lieutenant, June 13, 1801 ; captain, April 9, 1807; major, June 18, 1815; lieut.-colonel, June 21, 1817 ; colonel, Jan. 10, 1837 ; major-general, Nov. 9, ' 846 ; and lieut.-general, June 20, 1854. THE OCEAN MAIL SER VICE. SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 9. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tamar, Captain Jellicoe, sailed hence to-day with the Brazil and River Plate mails, a full cargo of L 14,900 in specie, and jewellery value £28,600. She has 101 passengers, among whom are the Princes Philippe and Augustus, and suite. The new steamer Mersey, belonged to the above-named company, will be despatched from this port on the 25th inst. for the Brazils, to take the place of the Camilla on the River Plate line, the latter coming for repairs ; the Mersey will take a mail. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamship Jeddo, Capt. Black, recently built by Mr. Laird on the Mersey, and which has made one voyage to Lisbon with the mails, was taken out for a trial measured in Stoke's Bay to-day, previous to being placed on the Bom bay, Suez, and Australian station. There was a large party on board, including Captain Nairne, Mr. Hadow, and Mr. J. Allen, directors of the company ; Dr. Beattie, medical inspector ; Captain Engledue and Mr. A. Lamb, the superintendent and superintending engineer at Southampton ; Mr. Justice Halliburton ; Mr. John Laird and Son ; Mr. Napier, jun., of Glasgow ; Messrs. Luke and Hughes, Admiralty surveyors; Messrs. Rubie and Murray, surveyors to the Board of Trade, &c. The Jeddo ran the mile four times, with the following results :—First, 4 minutes 9 seconds—average 14.457 knots per hour; third, 5 minutes 1 second— average 11.960 knots per hour ; third, 4 minutes 16 seconds—average, 14.063 knots per hour; fourth, 4 minutes 38 seconds—average 12 950 knots per hour. Average vacuum, 231-:; ditto revolutions, 63 ; ditto steam, 1811 b. She is about to be fitted with Mr. Lamb's superheating apparatus, which will add to her speed, besides effecting a saving in the con sumption of fuel. The performances of the ship gave great satisfaction to all on board. After leav ing the measured mile the Jeddo was taken down the Solent towards the Needles, during which the company partook of a dejeuner in ithe saloon, re turning to the docks about half-past four o'clock. The Jeddo is 1,800 tons burden and 450-horse power. She will leave for Bombay in about three 'weeks. The Alhambra, Captain Woodgates, is due on Monday, with mails from Lisbon, Oporto, and Vigo. Three steamers are due off Cowes on Wednesday and Thursday next from New York— viz. the Borussia (screw), Captain Trautmann, which left on the Ist inst. for Hamburg; the Weser (screw), Captain Getjen, on the 2d for Bre men, with the German mails ; and the Arago (paddle), Captain D. Lines, on the 2d for Havre, . with the French and English mails. The Royal Mail Company's steamer La Plata, Captain Weller, is due on the 16th, with the West India and Pacific mails, but may be looked for on the 14th. The Ripon steamer, Captain E. Christian, leaves on Tuesday next, with the heavy Bombay, Mauritius, and Australian mails ; the Parana, Captain Bevis, on the 18th inst., with the West India and Pacific mails (the 17th falling on Sunday) ; the Alhambra, Captain Woodgates, on the 18th, with the mails for Vigo, Oporto, and Lisbon; the Bavaria, Captain Taube, on the 18th inst., and the Bremen, Captain Wessels, on the 19th, both for New York ; the Pera, Captain Jamieson, the the 20th, with the East India and China RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. At the monthly meeting of the Railway Compa nies' Assocation this week the Law and Parliamen tary Committee' were authorised to take steps for preventing the general insertion in future acts of the clause abolishing teiminal charges. An alleged diversion of traffic through an agreement between the North-Eastern and Newcastle and Carlisle was the subject of considerable discussion, but no de finite result was arrived at. The shareholders of the London and South-Western have approved bills for the construction of junction and loop lines at Twickenham, Barnes, and other places, to provide additional station accommodation, &c., with provisions for raising the required capital. With reference to the Portsmouth competition, the chairman stated that the cheap fares origi nated with the London and Brighton, and that a fortnight after their adoption by the Brighton the London a_nd _South-Western had most - un willingly been compelled to take a similar course. At a meeting of the Vale of Neath a bill to enable the company to enter into arrangements with the South Wales for the division of the station at Neath, to purchase the Aberdaie Valley line, and to gua rantee interest on £40,000 required for the corn pletion'of the docks was approved. It was proposed to raise £216,000 additional capital. At a meeting of the Pernambuco the announcements justified to a singular extent all the cautions hitherto repelled by the shareholders. It appears that in consequence of the delays and slow progress of the line the works have been taken out of the hands of the contractor, and that the officers of the company are now in possession. Thrice the number of men formerly em ployed by the contractor are at present at work. The capital raised has been £688,000, of which about £38,000 is in cash in the hands of the company, and the outlay, including £25,000 of outstanding liabilities, has been £675,000. Owing to delay and accumulation of interest, it is considered probable that the capital will be exceeded. The contractor's accounts remain unsettled. In justice to the high credit of Brazil, the public must bear in mind that not a single unfavourable feature in the position of this undertaking is to be attributed to the Govern ment of that country, their course towards it having been marked by the greatest liberality and forbear ance. The Glasgow, Dumbarton, and Helensburgh have declared a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum out of the disposable balance of revenue for the past six months of £2,697. About £15,000 is required to settle liabilies on capital account which will raise the total cost of the undertaking to £277,000. At the Central Terminus and Glasgow meeting the proposed distribution at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum was ordered. The railway waggons belonging to the company were stated to be in good condition. Every exertion has been made by the directors to dispose of the surplus land and reduce the outstanding liabilities. The former is valued at £77,970, exclusive of two plots reserved for railway and depot purposes, while the latter stand at £86,387. The report of the Geelong and Melbourne states that the Williamstown branch to Melbourne was opened on the 14th of January. The Government have decided, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the chairman, on treating for the purchase of the line for cash instead of deben tures. The creditors of the company have in nearly every case met the Board in a liberal spirit, and all recorded judgments have been paid off. The receipts of the Tournay to Jurbise and Landen to Hasselt for the year 1858 show an in crease of £3,171 over the previous year, and a total distribution for the year has been made at a rate of rather more than 54 per cent. The augmentation in the revenue arises mainly from an increase in the coal traffic. At a meeting of the Great Western of Canada a dividend was ordered at the proposed rate of 3 per cent. per annum. The falling off in the receipts was attributed solely to the depression of trade and two bad harvests. The Copiapo Exten sion Railway, has been completed and opened for traffic. Inclusive of rolling stock and ether ex penses, the cost has been £6,400 a mile. The receipts hitherto have proved satisfactory. The first sod of the West Somerset, a line connecting Taunton with Watchet, has been cut. At the meeting of the Illinois Central, at Chicago, on the 16th March, a resolution expressing full confidence in the direc tion and a conviction of the future prosperity of the undertaking was movedby Mr. Cobden on behalf of himself and the English holders of 80,000 shares. The shareholders of the Norfolk have approved the lease of the East Suffolk to the Eastern Counties and associated companies. The net receipts of the Dun blane, Doune, and Callander for the half-year ending in December amounted to £1,036. It was agreed not to divide this sum, the directors being desirous of having the experience of a full year's traffic, when a dividend may be declared at a rate which can be per manently maintained. The Perth and Dunkeld have declared a dividend of 2 per cent. ; the Jedburgh, 3 ; and Caledonian and Dumbartonshiro, 4. THE NEW CANADIAN TARIFF. To the consumers of Canada, in the east or west ; the new tariff will be flagrantly unjust. It sub verts the only principle of political economy about which theorists and statesmen are agreed. It in creases taxation—already high—upon necessaries, and reduces duties on luxuries. What the poorest are accustomed to consume—what to all have be come necessaries of daily life—are singled out for heavier duties ; while the articles which minister to the enjoyment of the few are relieved from a portion of the load which, for society's sake, might well NA made much heavier than it is. Beyond this Mr. Galt's scheme is palpably sectional. He seeks violently and hastily to force the current of western trade into a new channel for the benefit of an insignificant class. He proposes so to apply the Customs' machi nery that the trade of this section will be crushed, its energy paralysed, in order that a few impor ters in Lower Canada may acquire an advantage. Let this proposition be carried out and the stability of our trade is at an end. If in a single season the whole current of traffic can be altered by legis lation, there is no safety for the trade. Two or three bodies of merchants shall be made to suffer —in some cases shall be ruined—merely that an other body of merchants, living in another section of the province, may reap profit. This is robbing three Peters to enrich one Paul. Does Mr. Galt ex pect that Upper Canada will patiently submit to so gross a wrong ? Upon the merchants of Toronto and* other places in the West the scheme will fall heavily. They have suffered more than enough from other causes already. The crisis, cruelly prolonged, has tried them sorely. • And now, just when they are beginning to hope for a return of prosperity, Mr. Galt comes with his tariff to mock their endeavours and blast their expectations. To some the new tariff will be certain ruin. To all it will occasion a loss which they are ill able to bear. The retail traders will feel the injury yet more severely. Every storekeeper in town or village, in city or in the bush, will suffer. He will be compelled to depend for his supplies upon those who have themselves purchased at a disadvantage. Nor will the mischief end here. The great body of consumers will share it fully. It was bad enough for them to pay the enormous increase of taxation which Mr. Galt imposes ; but to be doubly taxed as they will be under this tariff—taxed at the Customs'- house, taxed at the store—is more than the most patient community should be asked to endure. If the object of the Ministry be to revive sectional jealousies, to kindle afresh a sectional fire, the In spector-General is likely to succeed to perfection. His tariff is the best possible provocative. Its in judicious classification of duties offends everybody, and will excite strong feeling whenever its opera tion shall be visible in the enhanced prices of the poor man's necessaries. Its rampant sectional i sm en il t l complete the work. Whatever m ay b predilections of Montrealers , the y will s uffer . nthep even tually from a scheme which e xhibits them lig ht of monopolists. And Western Canada will be im mediately incensed. Her farmers and mechanics and storekeepers will be brought face to face with the old enemy _Lower Canadian supremacy. Sophistry cannot conceal the fact ; nor will rhap sodies about the St. Lawrence route reconcile the people of Western Canada to this assault upon their pockets. Mr. Galt may take our word for it, that, should he succeed in forcing the new tariff through Parliament, a storm will be evoked throughout the West which will not improve the working or the prospects of the Union.— Toronto Globe. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 10. The Cape Monitor brings intelligence a week later than that by the Dane, which left on the 21st of February and arrived here on the 28th of March. The valuable settlements on the east coast of Africa, belonging to the Portuguese Government, are about to be opened up for trade. The Chevalier du Prat is advertising for mail steamers to run between Natal and Delagoa Bay, Quillimaine ' and Mozam bique. Another line will probably follow between Mozambique and Madagascar. A lucrative trade has for many years existed between the United States and Mozambique. By the official returns in the Gazette it appears that m the last quarter of 1858 there was a considerable increase in the im portation of agricultural implements at the Cape. The men belonging to the 59th Regiment, in valided from China, are recovering. Of 148 sick on arrival, 12 have died, 31 have left the hospital, and 105 remain. The troopship Marseilles, 74 days from Gravesend, for India, with 14 officers and 409 men under command of Capt. Millar, 67th ReiMent, arrived at Table Bay on 25th February. The transport Didon, 4, Commander G. Picard, •from Brest, Dec. 29, with 350 soldiers for Singapore and China, .put into the Cape for water the same day. The barques Irene, Hero, and Gabalva were load ing for London, and the Suzanne, for Marseilles. the Day Dream, In Table Bay, the barqnes Aberfozle,- for London ; Anglo-Indian, for Amoy ; and Annie, from Desola tion Island; the mail steamer Celt and the barque Coral Queen discharging cargo ; from China ; Dreadnought, for Moulmein ; Glen dower, from London ; India, from Montevideo ; Marinus, from Madras ; Meteor, from Mauritius ; Prince Frederick William, from Cardiff, and Sun shine, from Algoa Bay. MECHANICS' INSTITUTES. Are mechanics' institutes frequented mainly by mechanics ? Certainly not. If they were, would they languid m an a d ny al o m f os t t he e m lee n m o o w syn ar a e ? ry condit b i e on in in the lttnwhich g too Most emphatically we say no. Very many, if not the great bulk, of the institutions thus designated are in the main mere places of amusement—danc ing schools, singing rooms, amateur theatres, and so forth, carried on for the amusement of mere lads and girls, who do not, in the majority of cases, be long to mechanics at all. We are not now speaking against such places of amusement. They may be very useful things in their way. But to disgrace the name of mechanics by placing it upon such places is to insult the class. We have no desire to flatter mechanics ; we should not know how to do it if we had. But we do say that they, as a class, respect themselves far too much to beg for anything —least of all for the means of acquiring knowledge and in the name of the mechanics of this country we call upon the promoters of institutions every where either to make them se lf -sustaining — no matter how humble that may. render the—o r them altogether.—llfechanics' Magazine. else to wipe the name " Mechanics' In . stitution" off THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1859.

The Royal mail steamship Asia has arrived with *he New York mails of the 30th ult., and 297,740 dots.' 12c. in specie, The Royal mail steamship Persia, hence, had arrived. out. The steamship Granada, from Aspinwall on the 18th ult., had arrived with 1,032,314 dols. in specie on freight. Walker, the Filibuster, had proceeded to California. The project submitted by the French Government in reference to the right of search question merely , proposes friendly visitation where there is good *Anse for suspicion that the vessel is a slaver. The United States Government do not object to this, but they will hold the visiting parties responsible for any misconduct or violation of their maritime rights. A slaver's tender was supposed to be hovering off the coast of Louisiana, and a revenue cutter had been despatched from Mobile to intercept her. Fifteen or twenty lives had been lost on the Ohio by a steamboat collision. A despatch from Washington communicates some doubtful information received from Mexico; to the effect that Miramon had negottated a secret treaty, granting to Sardinia the States of Tobasco, Tehuante pec, and Chispa for 5,000,000 dols., France, advanc• mg 1,000.000 dols., and guaranteeing the payment of the balance. Sardinia is to send out emigrants, as formerly agreed with Zuloaga, under a colony grant' to Sardinia.

It is stated that Elliott had ex pended all his money. Elliott was still out on bail. Sir W. G. Ouseley had arrived at Punta Arenas de Costa Rica in her Majesty's steamer Vixen with the Nicaraguan treaty, which had been signed by that Government, and an amendment had been in troduced into it to the effect that none of the,stipu lations of the treaty should be construed as bearing any decision upon the right of Nicaragua to the territory held by the Mosquitans. At Punta Arenas a severe epidemic existed which had carried off a number of persons. Freights had risen, and the price of coffee advanced 11 to 12 dols., with ready purchasers. Hides sold readily at from 16e. to 17c. per lb. A considerable quantity of lumber was being shipped to European ports. The American steamer Annette arrived at San Juan del Norte on the 12th of February. While running in for the harbour it is said the British man-of-war Caesar fired a blank shot at her, and, having brought her to, boarded and searched her for Filibusters. ___ _ General Walker, the Filibuster, had arrived at Aspinwall, en route for California, under the as sumed name of Wilson. The advices from British Columbia, which are to the 25th of February, give encouraging accounts as to the mines. Governor Douglas has issued a pro clamation declaring Queensborough to be the port of entry. Much excitement had been occasioned at Victoria among the citizens of the United States by the authorities not permitting a public salute to be given by the American residents on the 22d of February in honour of the anniversary of Washing ton's birthday. At Montreal on the 28th a channel had been opened in the river, opposite the city. Via Havannah we learn of the wreck, on the 4th ult., of a vessel supposed to be her Majesty's gun boat Jaseur Lieutenant Scott, on the Ronconebas Reef, 200 miles to the south-east of Jamaica. The crew, 70 in number, had only time to get into two small boats, with little or no provisions, and two days' allowance of water. The boats, without compass or charts, attempted to steer for Jamaica, but owing to the , strong winds, which during the next night increased into a gale, they became separated, and were driven about at the mercy of the waves. On the 10th ult. a boat, in which were five officers and 20 men, in the most deplorable condition from ex posure to the scorching sun of the tropics for so many days without food or water, was fallen in with by some Spanish fishermen, who most humanely rescued the perishing Englishmen and conveyed them to their little village, called Santa Cruz, where every attention and kindness were lavished upon them by those poor, but warm hearted Cubans. Captain-General Concha had despatched one steamer to convey the rescued men to Jamaica and another to explore the coast for the missing party. Sugars were quiet but firm at Havannah on the 25th, holders asking 94 reals for D. S., No. 12. Muscovadoes were unchanged. Molasses were sell ing at 4 reals for clayed and 5 reals for Muscovado. Sterling exchange was drooping at 1 . 01 per cent. premium. A cargo of Africans had been landed at Remidios. A revolution had broken out in the Mexican State of Oniapas, bordering on Guatemala. At New York the business in sterling exchange was light, and principally in bankers' bills, at 1091. Money was abundant at 4 per cent. on good col. laterals. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 9. The Cunard screw steamship Etna, Anderson, Commander, arrived to-day-from New York, with advices to the 28th ult. and 100,500 dols. in specie on freight. On the Ist inst., in a gale of wind, the Etna passed the ship Baltic, of New York, and during the night of the Bth experienced a dense fog, pass ing many vessels sounding fog horns, bells, &c. The Royal mail steamship Niagara. hence, and the Cunard steamship Alps, hence, arrived at Hali fax on the 27th ult. The Washington despatch for the New York Herald reports that the United States' Government has failed to come to any definite understanding with the British Government regarding the right of search or visit. The former are said to have de clined to yield any point, and the latter to submit any new plan. A project, emanating from the French Government, which is said to be acceptable to the Government of the United States, is to be submitted to the British Government.

A Raw lins, which was captured at St. Joseph's by the United States' steamer Vixen on suspicion of being engaged in the slave trade, are reported to have made a confession, in which they allege that a Spanish captain who was on board, and who was to have had the command on the vessel's reaching a certain part of the coast of Cuba, had been mur dered by the American captain who was in charge when they left Havannah. It was currently re ported in Savannah that the Rawlins, previous to her capture, had landed some 600 Africans some where on the coast of Florida, but it was not sup- posed to be the fact. In Georgia a number of negroes, said to be a part of those landed, had been captured and placed in prison. At a meeting in Holmesville, Georgia, on the 9th ult., a resolution had been adopted declaring that all laws of the Federal Government interdicting the right of the Southern people to import slaves from Africa were unconstitutional and violative of the rights of the South; were null and void, and a disgrace to the statute-book. Advices from Venezuela to the llth'ult. had been received. Peace was again disturbed. The pro vince of Coro had declared in favour of the Federal Government, and had taken up arms in the cause. Several exiles had left Curacoa to join their friends- General Zamora, who had left Curacoa to take com mand of the troops at Coro, was reported to have taken the field. Maracaibo, on the 6th ult., was quiet, but a revolt was expected. Generael Paez had not recovered. for San Francisco sprang a leak January the 29th, bore away for Ninilatt Sound, where she was seized on the Ist of February by Indians, the Captain and crew taken priso ners and detained 10 days, and the vessel burned. The Bamaere, which cleared from New Orleans on the sth ult. for Havre, and had been since detained at the bar, during a heavy squall from the S.W., was, by the dragging of the anchors of a ship (name unknown), run into, had her stern split to below the water-line, and received such other damage as caused her to return to that city on the 19th for repairs. A boat, containing Captain Good win and four of the crew of the ship Agamemnon, from Liverpool for Baltimore, re ported as having gone ashore five miles south of Currituck Inlet in about 13 fathoms water, was picked on the 26th ult., about 12 miles south of Body Island, by the Patapsco, from Charleston for Baltimore. When the Patapsco came up to the vessel, about 1 p.m., the rest of the crew were un bending the foretopsail, the main and mizen masts had gone over the side, and the ship was full of water. Captain Goodwin then took his boat and, with the crew, went on board. The New Orleans Crescent of the 21st ult. says :—" The accounts received on Saturday morning from the Passes state the highest water there to be only 13ft. to 13ift. on the bar. The following ships worked over, and went to sea during the last high water :—The Bannockburn, the Man chester, and the Lady Sale, for Liverpool—the Lochinvar, for Antwerp—the Charles Devonport, for Naples—the Mary, for Havre—the Troy, for Boston. Outward-bound vessels are daily accumulating. There were 44 ships at the South-West Pass and six in Pass L'Outre, outward bound, and from 20 to 25 bound in. The cotton now detained at the mouth of the river amounts to 130,000 bales. There are in port 70 vessels loading for Liverpool and other European ports, many of which are prepared, or can be prepared in a short time, for sea. Some have filled up, and are ready to clear; others waiting the removal of the bar obstructions. _ . 250,000 bales of cotton, including the quantity at the bar, are detained from market, and, from appearances, may, with other produce, be detained until June or July. The latest [accounts say that the bar is-improving, slid the vessels detained there would get over in a few days if the wind continued favourable." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

We have been favoured with a copy of the second report of the General Committee of the Fund for the Relief of the Sufferers by the late fearful Mutiny in India, bearing date the 31st ult. Tt states that last year (1858) no less than 178 meetings were held by the General and the three subordinate or special committees, while the honorary secretaries have given daily attendance, and worked most assi duously. Under the peculiar system laid down by the committee relief to the amount of £42,948 has been accorded from the commencement of the fund down to Dec. 31, 1858, including £32,457 in the form of military donations and loans, £1,613 in the form of donations to civil classes, and £1,877 in the form of loans to civil classes. 38 officers have received £3,555 ; 99 officers' widows, £11,284 ; 26 officers' orphans, 1,473 ; 25 officers' wives, £2,353 ; 51 officers' relatives, £3,534 ; 38 relatives of sol diers and sailors, £641; 150 disabled sailors and soldiers, £326 ; and 394 'widows and 544 children of soldiers and sailors, £4,694 (on weekly allow ance). The military loans amount to £4,533, making, with £27,924, the amount of the donations, a sum total of £32,457. The civil class donations included £979 to 11 clergymen and missionaries, £916 to six widows of clergymen, £lOO to the wife of a missionary, £1,781 to 26 widows and orphans of uncovenanted" civilians, and £4,836 to 81 indigo planters, merchants, and railway employes. The civil loans included loans of £985 to eight mer chants and their relatives, £3ll to six widows and relatives of railway servants, £5O each to two widows, £lOO to one landowner, £331 to three orphans of traders, and £5O to one " uncovenanted" civil officer of Government. The General Committee have been favoured by the Ladies' Committee with valuable advice in cases referred to them regarding the disposal of female orphans, and the ladies of that committee have been indefatigable in arranging and distribut ing donations of clothing, which have been of the greatest service to the safferers. Several cases of wearing apparel were sent to Alexandria, Bombay, and Calcutta ; a supply has also been kept on board some of the steamers of the Peninsular and Oriental Navigation Company, and distributed by the com manders when occasion required. With the excep tion of a modeiate balance at the Bank of England for current expenses, the contributions realised have been invested in public securities ; and it is satisfactory to notice that the interest, added to a profit arising from the transfer to other public se curities, has not only provided for all the office ex penses and advertisements from the establishment of the fund to the end of the past year, but has added £6,204 17s. 4d. over and above these expenses to the available resources of the fund. The total amount of contributions received from the 2d of February to the 31st of December, 1858, £85,354, including liberal donations from the colo nies. A cheque for £B5O was sent to the treasurer by " A Lady in Belgravia," whose name has not transpired. The total expenditure, from the estab lishment of the fund up to the 31st of December last, amounts to £176,710, of which sum £127,286 has been remitted to India—principally to Cal cutta. The amount of relief accorded to sufferers in Great Britain by the committe is £42,948, as already shown. The report states that in numerous instances, fathers, mothers, sis ters, &c., had been entirely supported, or materi ally assisted, previous to the mutiny, by remittances from India. The death, by massacre or in the field, of those who thus aided their relatives in Great Britain has left the latter in a condition more pitiable than that of widows and orphans, as in most instances they have no claim upon the Crown or Government of India, and no prospect of support from " service" and " compassionate' funds. The Relief Committee have, however, proceeded with great caution in ad mitting the claims of " relatives," and, except in instances where no doubt has existed, documentary evidence of previous remittances from India has I been required, as well as of their amount, and at what period, and through what channel remitted. The committee are persuaded that in relieving this class of sufferers they have strictly fulfilled the objects of the fund and the generous design of the contributors. Another class of sufferers—viz., " wounded and disabled soldiers and sailors"—who have received assistance from the fund may also re quire explanation. These brave men arrived from India wholly or partially disabled by wounds, or with constitutions enfeebled by exposure in the suppression of the mutiny. Many had formed a portion of the heroic garrison of Lucknow, had been engaged in the siege and storming of Delhi, or had shared in the many struggles which have saved our empire in the East. Their pensions are small, and the committee determined that these men were fit objects for assistance until their improved health should enable them to procure their own livelihood. It was therefore resolved to augment the allowance granted by Government to discharged soldiers by a sum of 6d. per day for three months, in the first in stance, and at the end of that period to reconsider the case of each individual, dependent on the cha ractor he produced from the minister who disbursed the allowance. The number of applicants for relief has not diminished so much as might have been an ticipated; but this is accounted for by the difficulty experienced by many of the victims in reaching the ports of embarkation through the disturbed districts. It has been decided to take into consi deration no casualty whatever occuring after the 31st ult. The committee have considered how to dispose of the sum " at credit" of the Central Fund at the end of last year, which amounts to £265,766. It is proposed, among other arrangements, to grant assistance to widows and orphans of officers and civilians for educational purposes where the fami lies are large and boys predominate, and to augment the pensions of certain widows and orphans. It is observed that soldiers' and sailors' widows and orphans are peculiarly entitled to consideration. Allowances to these have been granted for one year, on the scale and under the rules adopted by the Royal Patriotic Fund ; and the committee pro poses to continue them at the same rate, or to re duce them, according to the state of the finances of the fund when all claims for temporary aid have ceased—a rule which will be followed in all cases of prolonged allowances. On the 31st of December last there were 894 soldiers' and sailors' widows and 544 children in receipt of weekly allowances, which are disbursed to them by ministers of the different denominations to which they belong, and by other gentlemen, who transmit the requisite vouchers to the office. Next come soldiers dis charged owing to wounds, or loss of health arising out of the mutiny. For those who arc so disabled as to be incapable of labour the committee contem plate the continuance of the 6d. per day , as an important addition to their means of sup port. Great pains have been taken in the selection of cases for the relief of that class of sufferers entitled to prolonged assistance. 84 cases of this description have been carefully investigated and decided, and the outlay involved will be £2,500 per annum. The number of soldiers' and sailors' widows in Great Britain in receipt of the benefits of the fund is, about this time, 520, and 670 chil dren. The average yearly payment for each family may be taken at £2O, making a total outlay of £10,400 per annum. The average of -disabled sol diers received 6d. per diem has increased to 283, representing an annual outlay of £2,582 7s. 6d.
