The Sun. — London, England, 1860-05-17 00:00:00

Capt. J. T. Gordon has been appointed to the good service pension vacated by the promotion of Capt. R. F. Stopford, to the rank of Rear-Admiral. The following ships were yesterday taken up by the War Department to ship stores from the mili tary store department at Woolwich :—Sea Breeze, 'Hannibal, Heather Bell, Silurian, Harbinger, Ex celsior, Superior, Port Royal, and Mail Packet. Mr. Hall, instructor of novices, her Majesty's re ceiving ship Fisgard, Woolwich, and staff of engi neers, officers, and assistants from the factory, yes terday left Woolwich for Greenhithe, in readiness to embark at an early hour this morning on board the model screw steam schooner Ranger, on a trial of her machinery for the information of the Board of Admiralty. The Ranger will proceed experi mentally as far as the Mouse, for the satisfaction of the engineers, and continue her voyage to Ports mouth, during which time her sea-going qualities are ordered to be registered with precision. Letters of the 31st of March last have been re ceived from Valparaiso, from her Majesty's ship Termagant, Capt. Hall. She had a pleasant pas sage from Montevideo, through the Straits of Magallan. All well. She proceeds up the coast to Vancouver's Island. The paddlewheel surveying steamer Bann, J. Wells, master, got up steam on Tuesday, and went outside Plymouth Breakwater to try her machinery; she returned to Hamoaze, and was then taken along side Keyham yard. Her engines answer well. An accident, unfortunately, occurred during the trial. A labourer, John Parker, belonging to the Keyham works, was on board in attendance on a party of fit ters from the yard. The engineers *ere employedbe low in repairing some defects♦ under the immediate orders of Mr. Ward, the inspector of machinery, and, to effect the object desired, it became necessary to turn the paddlewheels, which several men at tempted to do with handpikes through a hatchway in the paddlebox. While so engaged the engine was suddenly set in motion, thereby causing a heavy blow on Parker's face from the handspike he was using, and forcing him down on the paddlewheel, which seems to have made at least one revolution before he was rescued. Parker's nose was fractured and depressed, and he has received extensive wounds on• the face and head and thereby lost much blood. He is now in the Naval Hospital at Stone hoase, and there are hopes of his ultimate recevery. The screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Capt. H. J. Laeon, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir C. Fremantle, was taken out of Keyham basin on Tuesday, and placed at her moorings in Hamoaze. Her crew were paid wages the s tme day in the presence of Admiral Sir T. Pasley, and obtained leave of absence. Steam was got up on board the Royal William, 91, at Devonport, on Tuesday, by the contractors, to try her machinery. The gunboat Biter was appointed to be taken out of Keyham steamyard yesterday, and the gunboat Goshawk to be placed in. The War Department steamer Balaklava was placed alongside the Royal William Victualling Yard, Plymouth, on Tuesday, to ship stores saved from the transport Havering. The naval instruction brig Nautilus, 6, Lieut. B. Grant commanding, took another cruise on Tues day, and returned to the Sound. The paddlewheel steam sloop Virago, 6, Com mander Montagu B. Dunn, from Portsmouth, ar rived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. The officers and men of the steam reserve at Portsmouth were yesterday mustered on board the Asia, Capt. G. T. Gordon, guardship of steam ordi nary at that port. The Himalaya screw steamship, Capt. John Sec comb2, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the West Indies, with troops on board, as enume rated in The Sun of yesterday. She steamed into Portsmouth harbour at 4 p.m., and landed the troop baggage on the south jetty of the dockyard. The troops will disembark early this morning, and pro ceed by special train to Farnborough, marching thence to the C unp at Aldershott. The Himalaya is afterwards expected to proceed to Devonport (reported to pay off), having some rather extensive defects to make good in her machinery. She has also carried away one of the blades of her Griffiths' propeller. Lieut. Charles G. Lindsay has been appointed to the Marlborough. The West Essex Militia are to be reviewed on Monday at Chelmsford, and the members of the neighbouring volunteer corps have been invited to take part in the proceedings. The Essex Rifle Militia are also about to be inspected at Colchester by Col. Wood, commandant of the camp at that place. 1 THE ARMY. The Duke of Cambridge has issued an order di recting the bounty paid to those men who re-enlist after 12 months' absence from their regiments to be reduced from 30s. to £l. The following very important General Order has been issued to the various divisions of the Royal Marines from the Admiralty : " Admiralty, May 1, 1860. "The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have been pleased to signify that soldiers who may have claimed their discharge from the army under the Limited Enlistment Act, or obtained it by pur chase, or by a free discharge, and who shall enlist in the Royal Marines within two years of the date of such discharge, are to be allowed to reckon their former service in the army towards pension on com pleting 21 years in the combined services. Each man must produce a certificate of good character from the corps in which he has served, and must be of the regulated standard height, and generally clesirable man for the Royal Marines. " No man is to be enlisted who is above 30 years -of age." The 3d battalion military train, in command of Major M'Court, encamped at Woolwich, being under orders to relieve the 2d battalion, Lieut.-Col. - Robinson, at Aldershott, started yesterday from the encamp ment on Woolwich-common. Two troops, commanded by Capts. Morrison and Wool ridge, Licuts, Keogh and Ramsay, yesterday per formed the first day's march, and the remaining squadron, together with the headquarter's staff; will leave this morning. The dismounted men and the sick will be conveyed by railway. The offier, - ;rs 'composing the staff consist of Major M'Court, Capts. Powell and McFarlane, Paymuter Willins, Quartermaster Salford, Lieuts. Keogh and Powell, and are aer.rmoirmiteo, by a train of 36 waggons. A 12-Ib. `snow:gilt iron experimental gun, upon a principle varying between that of Sir Wm. Arm strong Dr. Church, manufactured by Mr. Mor gan, w'.sB yesterday tested at the proof butt, Wool in the presence of Col. Tulloh, R.A., In- Bp'eetor of Ordnance, and the officers of the depart 'ment. The exterior of the piece nearly resembles that of the Armstrong. The bore is eliptical, and the grooves four in number. The proof charge was confined to 2ilb. of powder, and an elongated shot weighing 121 b. The test was perfectly satisfactory, and the opinion generally expressed was, that it was doubtless a good ordinary gun, devoid of any special qualifications or superiority. No exrieri meats as to the range were entered into, th' J object being simply to test the method of loading and the p os sibility of a n y escape of gas, &c. some interesting trials of the new reech-ing rifled carbin e , th e invention of Mr. b Leitch, loa took place on the practising ground of the Royal Engi neers at Chatham, on Tuesd a y afternoon, in the presence of a number of scientific gentlemen and others connected with the R oyal Engineer De art ment. It had originally b een intended for p Mr. Leitch to make some competitive trials with his breech-loading rifle against the best marksmen of the Royal Engineers with the Lancaster rifle, the authorities at Chatham having granted permission for the trials to be made. Owing, however, to the rifles brought by Mr. Leitch not having been cor rectly sighted and adjusted, the competitive portion of the trials was necessarily postponed. Mr. Leitch then exhibited the telling effects of his breech loader, when fi re d at long ranges, with satisfactory results. The range first selected for the experiments was 500 yards, which was afterwards increased to 900 yards. Upwards of 200 rounds were fired in all, without a single instance of miss -fire or fouling, or the slightest escape of the powder gas With ing itself. Th e r ifl e was loaded with the ut at most ra- pidity, the movement of loading and firing being almost instantaneous. The experiments gave com plete satisfaction. Mr. Leitch shortly intends mak ing some further trials on a much larger scale at Chatham. way, the engine and train would have been hurled over into the premises of the gas works, a height• of some 20 or 30-feet. The traffic along this part of the line is very considerable, perhaps 150 trains passing to and fro in the course of the day; and had there been one approaching on the other lines when the engine went over, the consequences pos sibly may be imagined. After some hours' exertion, one of the blocked-up line of rails was sufficiently cleared to allow the trains to pass through, but it was late before the engine was got away and the whole liwestored. The usual notice of the accident has been for warded to the Railway Department of the Board of Trade, and the directors of the company have directed an inquiry. Mr.. Gill, the surgeon, of Bow, attended the lady who was so badly hurt in the face. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The return for the week that ended last Satur day exhibits a considerable reduction in the deaths of London. In the previous five weeks they ranged from about 1,200 to 1,400 ; they have now declined to 1,111. In April the mean temperature of the, air was 42.5 deg. ; in the last fortnight it h a d b een 51.5 deg.; and latterly the south-west has been the prevailing wind. In the 10 years 1850-59 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with lait week was 1,067 ; but as the deaths in the present return occurred in an increased population, they should be compared with the average raised proportionally to the increase, namely, with 1,174. The result of the comparison is satisfactory, for the actual num ber of deaths was less than the estimated number by 63. By comparing the tables showing fatal causes in the last three weeks, it will appear that small-pex, scarlatina, and whooping-cough have decreased, while measles and typhus have increased. From small-pox the deaths in successive weeks were 20, 18, 16; from scarlatina 33, 35, 25 ; from whooping cough 56, 53, 42. From measles there were in the three weeks 37, 38, and 53 ' • from typhus 34, 24, and 34. From mea s l es three deaths occurred in St. Mary, Marylebone ; three in St. John, Padding ton; four in Bow ; three in St. Mary, Magdalen, Bermondsey ; three in the West sub-district of Greenwich. In the previous week the deaths from phthisis, bronchitis, and pneumonia were respec tively 167, 139, and 59; last week they were 141, 88, and 62 Three persons died from burns, namely, a female servant, aged sixteen, whose clothes had, caught fire, the daughter of a lighterman, aged one year, from the furniture of the room taking fire, and a woman who died in University College Hospital from burns received by some means not described. The daughter of a smith, aged two years, was fatally scalded by upsetting a teapot. Of eight persons who died from suffocation, seven were infants suf focated in bed, and one wRs a labourer, aged 22 years, , who was killed by the floor of a house in Lombard-street giving way. A child died at Plum stead from scurvy, A woman died in Bethnal green from uterine haemorrhage, " aggravated by occupying an apartment in which nine other per sons slept." And a woman, a hawker of lace, died on door-steps in Woburn place, in consequence of her stomach being pierced and heart wounded by a fish-bone two inches long which she had swallowed. Last week the births of 786 boys and 819 girls, in all 1,605 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850 59 the average number was 1,627. JOBBERY AT TILE HORSE GUARDS. THE MURDER IN SBO.REDITOIL SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER AND DIS COVERY OF THE BODY.—LATEST PAR TICULARS. The detective police continued their exertions until two o'clock yesterday in endeavouring to find the man Raddon, but no clue whatever could be traced of him until about ten o'clock, when the body of a man was dragged up by the towing rope con nected with a barge which was being navigated through the Regent's -canal. It seems that, at the time named, several men were employed at Messrs. Garrod's coal wharf, Whitmore-bridge-road, Hox ton when they saw the body o f a ma l e person sud denly rise to the surface of the water. They raised an alarm, when deceased was got out on to the towing-path. The deceased was not known at that time, and when taken out of the canal the hands were found to be firmly tied round with a pocket handkerchief, and the arms were lying upon the breast as if he, the deceased, had bound them round to prevent his struggling and to hasten his death. A police constable was called and the deceased was placed upon a stretcher and conveyed to the dead-house at the rear of the Shoreditch workhouse, Kingsland-road, where it was immediately identified as being that of the murderer. The deceased's cap had been found float ing in the canal some distance from the spot where the body was discovered, and there is no doubt that he committed suicide by leaping off the bank near the coal wharf, which is easily to be reached from the main road. Police-constable Buckley, of the N division, as certained that the accused (Raddon) must have left home soon after the dreadful crime was perpetrated, for he went to the house of the deceased's sister (Mrs. Webb), residing at 6, Holloway-grove, at two o'cloek on Tuesday morning and knocked at the front door. The window was opened by Mr. Webb, who asked who it was, when Raddon replied, " It is Joe." He wished to come up stairs, but he was informed that he could not be admitted at that hour. He spoke in a low voice, and said that Mrs. Webb's sister was dying. He was hot sober, but knew what he was about. He then went away, and it is supposed that he must have shortly after wards committed self destruction. Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock the brother of the deceased man (Raddon), and several other relatives, called at the workhouse and identified the body. The police searched the pockets of the de ceased, and the only things found were a clasp knife, and a duplicate of a silk handkerchief, pledged for 2s. on Monday last. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, Dr. Gay, of Finsbury-pavement, and Mr. Clark, the medical officer of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, proceeded to the house where the murdered woman had been discovered to make a minute examination of the body by order of the coroner, Mr. John Humphreys. The wretched female was still lying upon the bed, as she was first discovered, upon the left side, in a pool of coagulated blood. The limbs were quite stiffened, and deceased presented a sad and sickening spectacle. The blood from the wound had saturated the bedclothes, and had passed through the sacking of the bedstead on to the floor, and from thence had penetrated through the boards to the ceiling of the lower room or back parlour. The opinion expressed by the medical gentleman is that the deceased must have been murdered while fast asleep, and that the murderer had stood behind her with his left hand over her mouth while he inflicted the fatal injury with the right hand. The wound nearly severed the head from the trunk, and had penetrated the upper cervical vortebrm of the neck. It would also seem that after the incision the mur derer had withdrawn the razor to the back part of the head, as there were several spots of blood upon the pillow, which must have dropped from the blade of the weapon, which had likewise been placed upon the sheet behind the shoulders of the deceased, as there were marks indicative of the fact. The mur derer must then have leaned over the body of his victim and placed the razor in the deceased's left hand, which lay immediately by the front of the face. The right hand was firmly clenched and covered with gore. The deceased must have bled very rapidly, and death must have been instantaneous, and she could not have struggled nor have made any noise. There were marks of blood upon the chin as if the murderer had held the unfortunate woman's mouth. In the centre of the room was found a pail half filled with dirty water, where it is supposed that the murderer washed his hands, for close by the pail were found a wet towel, which bore marks of blood, and an old scrubbing-brush, which had been recently used. There was plenty of bread and other articles of food in the cupboard, and the breakfast things were upon th e t a bl e i n the centre of the room, which would show that the murderer and his victim had taken tea upon their arrival home. The police and Mr. Waller, the summoning offi cer, made a further search of the room vesterday morning, and in a drawer they found a number of duplicates and a county court execution paper for a distraint upon the goods of the murderer. The de ceased woman was very respectably connected, and was a hardworking, industrious woman, clean in her habits, although the apartment where she and her paramour lived was very poorly furnished. A number of police officers were in charge of the house and body during the whole of yesterday, and crowds of persons still remained in front of the house at a late hour last night. FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON TILE NORM LONDON RAILWAY ,---- Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, a very alarming accident happened to a passenger train on the North London Railway, at Bow, which was nigh involving the most disastrous consequences. The train was from Camden-town, and having made the usual stoppage at Bow station, proceeded on its way to Fenchurch-street up the curved incline which connects the North Loudon with the Black wall line.' Owing to the rise being rather severe, a speed of from 12 to lo miles is seldom exceeded in going up the bank. The writer was a passenger in the second carriage from the engine, and on the train reaching the top of the incline, abreast of the works of the Great Central Gas Company, he was startled by a violent jerk and crash, followed by two other shocks of as severe a character, and a rolling or jumping motion of the carriage, as if it was off the line, and in less than half a minute the train Was brought to a sudden stoppage. On alight ing, a most fearful scene prests:nted itself. The en gine, No. 32, a l arge powerful six -wheeler, was lying on its side, enveloped in steam, completely across the down line and the road used by the Gravesend (Tilbury), Woodford, North Wool wich, and other trains. Next to the engine was a second-61as passenger (break) carriage, and the escape, of the Occupants appears most marvellous. The front of it, used as the guard's break, was shat tered to pieces, and how the guard was preserved from instant death. seemed most surprising. This carriage, with the next, had been dragged off the line, and apparently had been shattered and ripped by a rail, which had been torn up by - the engine, and was standing up perpendicular between the two carriages. Fortunately there were not many pas sengers in the train, and more providentially still, they all escaped any serious injury with the excep tion of an elderly lady, Mrs. Sutherland, who sus tained a serious contusion on the face. They jumped and scrambled out of the carriages as best they could, and made their Ne- to a more distant part of the line, it being fired th a t th e h i ssing prostrate e ng i ne , which - as forth den s e sending volumes of steam, Inif:; w nt explde. The excitement for the moment 'flaying someowhat subsided, in quiries were made after the engine driver and stoker, a 7,(1. it was as cer t a i ned that they too had ' been most miraculo us l y spared. The poor fellows b'ad stuck to their posts to the last, and as the en gine slewed round and turned over they were thrown forward some few feet on to the permanent way, and escaped, save a few bruises. As soon as they had somewhat recovered they did their best to lessen any further mischief arising from the some what dangerous condition of the engine, and the guard, with as much expedition, gave the necessary signals to stop all trains, up or down. Mr. King, the superintendent of the North London, and Mr. f Wightman, the superintendent of the Blackwall, with other officials, were soon on the spot, and the most vigorous measures were taken to restore the road, and remove the engine, which completely stopped the Gravesend, Woodford, Victoria Docks, North London, end other traffic. On examining the line where the accident oc curred it would appear that the engine left the metals on the inner side some 50 or 60 feet before it went over. In its course the wheels came in contact with the sleepers and rails of a crossing, which eventually threw the engine round as before described. The permanent way was ploughed up, the sleepers cut through, and the rails torn up and twisted. The cause of the engine leaving the line is yet to be explained. The keeping up of this part of the road is said to be under the charge of the engineer of the Blackwell Railway Company, and it is stated that the line where the engine went off was found to be of proper gauge. The escape of the passengers is mainly attributed to the reduced speed of the train in going up the bank. It is also a most providential circumstance that the engine took “ slant inwards. Had it been the other Do the people at the Horse Guards ever read ? Have they any books on the official shelves ? They must surely possess a Post office Directory and a Johnson's Dictionary. The Commander-in-Chief and his Staff must have occasion to direct letters to obscure individuals, and orthography is not every soldier's strength. Absurd pedants might perhaps expect to find some edition of the " Maxims of Na poleon," the works of Joniini, or the " Peninsular War." This is extravagant. But there is Hart's Annual Army List. It is the recognised book of reference—stamped almost with official authority. It is as necessary to the Commander-in-Chief as the Navy List is to the First Lord of the Admiralty, or the Oxford Calendar to a Vice-Chancellor. Is it too much to assume that the heads of the Army have access to this most useful publication ? If they have, it is but too plain that its leaves remain un cut, or that its contents arc scandalously ignored. Only a few weeks ago the Duke of Cambridge declared in the House of Lords that he was ear nestly anxious to administer the patronage of the army with a single eye to the public service. An xious as he may be for justice, that illutrious per son has again and again dwelt upon the importance of being supported by public opinion. Without this support he never ceases to declare it to be utterly impossible to do his duty to the army or to the country. It may be so. Certain it is that all-powerful as the Duke of Wellington was, and fully alive as he was from his very boyhood to the national evils of jobbing military appointments, he practically supported the very system which he pri vately denounced. Certain, moreover, it is that Lord Hardinge pursued the same fatal policy. After what the Duke of Cambridge has promised it is im possible to believe that he willingly perpetuates the old system. lf scandalous appointments are made, it must be because even a Royal Duke is not powerful enough to resist the influence brought to bear upon him, or because in the hurry of business he has committed a mistake. But in either case he needs the support of public opinion. And he shall have it. If any mysterious power is brought to coerce even a Prince of the Blood against his duty, that power must be restrained; if due information has been wanting, that information must be sup plied. The Gazette declares that the Hon. Charles Grey has got a regiment. This gentleman entered the army in 1820, and became a lieutenant-colonel in 1831. No doubt his purse was ample or his influ ence great, for his promotion was rapid. His active services are none—literally none. No houourable scar disfigures his body—no medal adorns his breast. Like other clothes-horses in the shops of Pall-mall, he has borne the Queen's uniform, but it has never been soiled by travel or blackened by powder. His duties have been confined tb those of a Royal Equerry. As such, there is no reason to doubt that he has done whatever was expected of him. His duties may be laborious for aught we know, and after the lapse of time may deserve some reward. Every labourer is worthy of his hire, and if those whom he served considered him to merit an increased salary they ought to have supplied it. But, strange to say, this Equerry, who has never left the pleasant paths of the Mall, has been se lected for the Coloneley of a Regiment. An appoint ment Which ought to be reserved for men wno have spent their lives in the field of battle has been be stowed upon a man who has no more claim to it ► than Cardinal Antonerd or Mr. Bright. Is it pos sible to believe that such an appointment as this can have been deliberately made tis Surely it must have been unintentional, or some overwhelming in fluence must have carried away the Judgment of the Horse Guards. If people in high places have any belief that mankind are all alike, let them re flect for a moment upon the feelings with which such an appointment as this will be regarded: Open Ila7t where he details the war-services of the Altai; who Lave got nd regiments, Even now some underling at the Horse 101nards might be got to remember the look of some of these famous veterans in their youth —men who had served their country before the Hon. Charles Grey had left the breast. It would be instructive to hear what the working soldiers say of justice at the Horse Guards. Contrast two cases. The Hon. Charles Grey has got his regiment. General John Cox has got none. And who is he ? Except a few months he served throughout the whole of,the Peninsular War with the 95th (Rifle Brigade), beginning with the affair at Obidas on the 15th August, 1808. He was engaged with the enemy at Roleia, Vimiera, and the surrender of Lisbon ; he served with the British army under Sir John Moore, and was present at the battle of Corunna - he fought at Talavera, at many minor affairs, and at Almeida he defended the bridge against every attempt to force it; besides the affairs of Mor Morta and Jula he took part at the battle of Busacc ); he stood behind the lines of Torres Vedras, and fo 1- lowed the retreating army of Marshal Massena, tb Le rearguard of which ho constantly engaged a t Pombal, Redinha, Condeixa, Casanova, Foz d'Aruct Ponte de Mareilla, Frexeda, and Sabugal; for fly e successive days be was at Almeida, at Marialvas Bridge, and at the battle of Fuentes d'Onor ; he besieged and stormed Ciudad Rodrigo, joined in. the battles of Vittoria, Pampeluna, and the Pyre nees. Finally, he took part at the famous field of Waterloo and in the capture of Paris. Nor were these exploits fuchieved without danger. At Virniera ho wa'- wounded by a musket-ball, at Redinha he rece'ived a contusion, at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo his left arm was fractured, and a ball was lodged in his leg while driving the enemy from the heights , of Taibes. For ten years he fought and bled for his , country : and, all he has received for his service s is what ?—a war medal and ten clasps. Much I sonour—great glory.

THE .HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST. A special festival in aid of the funds of this charity was held last evening in the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, with the intention of forming a special fund for extinguishing a mortgage debt of upwards of £B,OOO, which had tended to impede the usefulness of the charity. The chair was occupied by Sir John Pakington, and the attendance was very numerous. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been given from the chair, and duly responded The CHAIRMAN gave the toast of " The Church," remarking that no less a sum than £l,lOO had been derived through the exertions of clergy men in aid of the charity during the past year. The Rev. Canon Wordsworth replied, and expressed the happiness he felt in believing that the above sum was more than had been raised through the appeals of the ministers of the, Church during any previous year. He adverted to the nature of the disease, to alleviate which the society had been instituted, and to the success of the treatment received by the patients in the hospital, so that not only was every thing possible done to administer to their comfort, but several cases existed in which • this disease, viewed as incurable, had been demonstrated curable. He referred at some length to one particular case, which had fallen under his own notice(and testified that the directors and supporters of the institution were doing a great and a holy work. The Chairman, in next proposing the toast of " The Army and Navy," referred to a letter that had been received from a dragoon, who had shared in the Balaklava charge, who had. been an inmate of the hospital, and bore testimony to the kind treatment he had received within its walls. The speaker considered the aspects of the times to be such that it was the duty of Government to take all possible care to strengthen our armaments and increase their power. He hoped, however, that 5) far as Europe was con cerned it would be long before their services were required. He begged leave to couple with the toast the name of Alajor-General Downing. The latter gentleman replied, and returned thanks for the army, and Captain Halstead, R.N., shortly replied for the navy, and expressed the hope that if this branch was called into active service it would be found as proficient as it had shown itself on pre vious occasions. The CHAIRMAM next rose to propose the toast of the evening " Prosperity to the Consumption Hospital" —and appealed to the every day experience of all hearing him of the prevalence of the fatal disease, and the necessity and corre sponding benefits of such an institution. The greater number of the other hospitals in London ex cluded patients labouring under this disease. Pay ing a high tribute to the estimable character of metropolitan charities, and remarking that no less a sum than £BO,OOO, as he had been informed, was collected within the London Tavern towards their support, he did not wish to attribute neglect to any of them when he said that they excluded con sumption patients, as, from the peculiar lingering character of the disease, it might be said they could not afford it. During the year preceding the past, 667 patients had been received into the hospital, while during the past year 972 had been admitted and many discharged in both years with favourable symptoms, if the disease in its insidious nature had not been entirely removed. The outdoor patients in the year 1858 were 3,971. During the past year they amounted to 4,647. The financial aspect of the institution was satisfactory. The income de rived from annual subscriptions had increased from about £3,000 in the preceding year to £3,832 during the past year, being an increase of fully 20 per cent. The donations had, however, fallen off in the sum of £1,659, mak ing a deficit of £9OO in the total income. The latter source of income must be expected to fluctuate, while the stability of the institution dependedprin cipally upon the latter, and the directors wish, con sequently, to increase the former, on which they can depend. At the same time he did not think a more curious statistical account could be produced than one showing the deficiency of the reliable in come compared with the ordinary expenditure of London charities. The reliable income of the pre sent institution was £3,000, while the annual ex penditure reached £B,OOO. A similar deficiency was common in other charities, but the available means was also forthcoming. Presiding lately at the an nual, festival of the Orphan Asylum, £B,OOO was raised in the dining-room. Another sum of £26,000, he believed, was raised on a similar occasion in sup port of the London Hospital. When confidence was felt in the direction of the institution the public supplied the means. Ile . trusted that the means of improvement and of dispensing blessings would always be at the command of the present institu tion, and that the opportunity of studying the fea tures of this disease, which had hitherto baffled the skill of the medical profession, might be placed within their reach. Alderman Salomons proposed the health of the chairman in a neat speech, to which the latter replied. The sum raised on the occasion was £1,722. THE ROYAL LITER.I.I?} FUND. The list anniversary of this institution was cele brated by a dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern last evening.

Cruickshenks, Sampson Low, Bent ley, Hurst and Blackett, and others. About 100 gentlemen in all were present. The healths of her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the rest of the royal family having been given from the chair and cordially received by the company, Mr. BEBESFORD HOPE proposed " the Houses of Parliament," taking occasion to pass a high eulo gium upon the deceased architect to whose genius the nation owed the splendid edifice in which the Legislature held its &Liberations. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE, in ackno A/ledge ing the toast, observed that it was extremely pain ful, when they had met to promote the interests of literature and shed some consolation over the mis fortunes of its professors, to be reminded by the course of passing events of the days when this coun try had to contend for everything that was dear to her. Our streets were filled with volunteers ; im mense demands were made upon the public resources for defensive armaments ; all for what? We were told that universal good feeling prevailed between the sovereigns of Europe, and yet from some cause or another, upon which he would not dwell, the whole of the continent was thrown into a state of uncertainty. Every one apprehended he knew not what danger, and nations were obliged to bear the burdens of war in time of peace. Never was there a period in which this country was more sincerely desirous for the preservation of peace, more dis poeed to respect the rights of nations, or more anxi ous to cultivate the good will of all her neighbours. He trusted that the stout hearts of the people of England, the high character of their Sovereign, and the blessing of Providence would avert from us all danger. But if war should unhappily come upon us he doubted net but that our arms would be crowned with as brilliant victories as any that had yet employed the pen of the historian. (Cheers.) The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN, in giving" the Army and Navy," said he was not one of those who be lieved that innocence and righteousness were al ways endowed by Providence with sufficient power to protect themselves from lawless violence ; and he could never believe that physical strength should be employed only in the cause of robbery and wrong, and not in putting down the wrongdoer. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that " Hearts of oak are our ships," although, after recent discoveries it hardly held good of our gunboats. (A laugh.) Capt. SHERARD OSBORN briefly returned thanks. In proposing the toast of the evening, "Prosperity to the Royal Literary e Fund," the Chairman expa tiated on the pleasures and advantages of literary studies. With respect to this institution, he re marked that it was one of its noblest characteristics that it practically levelled all the barriers of inter national prejudice, regarding the men of letters of every country as funning one great brotherhood, and one body, of which, if any of the members suffered, all the othe rs mus t bu ff er w i t h it. (Cheers.) If he this had felt an y d ou b t o f t h e excellence P r institu tion, as a ch anne l f or t h e re li ef of d i stresset : literary i men and th e i r f am ili es, h e would have b een satisne _ by an insp ec ti on o f t h e records which had been sub mittcd to him. The Royal Literary Fund united all possible claims to the public favour, in its ma nagement as well as in the amount and manner of the relief i t b estowed. To many of those who re ( ceived it that amount was of inestimable value, coin ing at a time when it might save the sufferer from elespair and misery, and allow him time perhaps to c. ellect his thoughts, and the material for eomefresh terary enterp r i se , w hi c h would render him again hich der this and l l i i e e f a t i e % a c os distributed f s e h r o t w h e e d fe t e h l i e n gmosts of f in dependent o f sue l i ass i stance. The manner in w tei th 050 concerned. In every respect, therefore, the Royal Literary Fund was entitled to general ap proval and - support. The toast having been very cordially accepted, Mr. G. GoDwIN, on behalf of the committee, read a list of the donations, amounting t o between £7OO and £BOO. The Right Hon. Mr. NAPIER then proposed the health of the right reverend chairman, which was duly acknowledged by his lordship, and Lord DUNGANNON proposed the health of the clergy, as a body who had done much for tho pre servation of literature. Mr. MONCKTON MILNES, M.P., gave the toast o_ " Prosperity to the Literature of the United States," which ho observed was most interesting to ourselves as a reflection of the British mind, and as tending to perpetuate the intellectual communion we still enjoyed with those whom he would call our fellow-Englishmen on the other side of the Atlantic. He referred to the last romance of Mr. Hawthorne as an example of the freshness and ori ginality with whieh an imaginative American author could treat the classical traditions of old Europe; and in the graver department of history he instanced the works of Mr. Prescott and Mr. Motley, which related the most important events in the old world with an entire freedom from the pre judices besetting most other writers on such themes. Mr. MOTLEY, author of " The Rise of the Dutch Republic," briefly replied. He would only venture to recal once more an old and time-honoured truth, never more, as he trusted, to be forgotten—that America and England, although politically severed, were united for ever by the strongest of all bonds, those of a common language and a common origin. (Cheers.) No man was worthy of a place in the republic of letters who would not do his best to strengthen that tie. Writers in English, address ing as they did so many millions of people, almost equally distributed on both sides of the Atlantic, had the privilege of appealing to the noblest and widest public that ever existed in the world. He hoped it would not seem inappropriate if he there expressed his hope and his earnest conviction that, before long, an international copyright law would be enacted, making this vast republic of English letters one and indivisible. He believed it was the sincere wish of American writers that those Eng lish authors whose genius had so long instructed, delighted, and charmed so many readers beyond the seas should receive in America not only that praise which could not be withheld, but their just reward —and he believed that legislative action in Ame rica would soon complete the measure which had been so generously proffered by the United King dom, so that the commonwealth of English litera ture might have not only one language but one law. (Cheers.) The company soon after this dispersed. HUNGA_RE , A letter from Pesth, dated May 10th, says : It is new generally known that the seven Hunga rians recently appointed by the Emperor members for the newly-organised Council of State have re fused to accept their nomination—a result which took no one by surprise here, but which caused great disappointment at Vienna. So little had people there, in official quarters, been prepared for a negative in the present instance that it was thought gratuitous to ensure the previous consent of the nominees. One of my friends chanced to be present when Baron Eotvos, with a lively expres sion of dismay and amazement, learnt his appoint ment from the official Vienna Gazette. Austrian statesmen, however long they may be misusing the resources of our country, will never get a clear insight into the wants, or ajust appreciation of the rights of its inhabitants. Though it was obvious to every Hungarian that the Imperial behests of the 19th of April had fallen short of even the most moderate of our demands, the wiseacres in power did not or would not know it. General Benedek, too, seems to have come down to us with views very different from those which he has been taught during the few days of his stay here. The haughty and all but threatening tone of his first proclama tion strangely contrasts with the meekness of his demeanour since he has heard many an unadorned word of truth, and has met with a reception akin to rebuke. The day after his arrival he called on Baron Pronay, who bluntly told him that the Pro testants meant to abide by their chartered rights, As they have done until now. On the 30th of April he attended the requiem for Count Szechenyi, and returning from the church, if he noticed the cheers then resounding in the streets of Pesth, he must have had some difficulty in making out a single exclamation for Benedek or his " Kaiser," whilst thousands and thou sands shouted the names of Kossuth and Szechenyi. When, on the 4th instant, the general visited the colleges of the university, and addressing several of the students asked their name, birthplace, &c., one of them, a native of Szigetvar, replied, " I am born on the spot where the immortal Zrinyi died for his country." Not much of a compliment to the face of a man who but half a score years ago had fought, not for, but against, his country. However, the Feldzeng meister is said to have taken the inuendo rather graciously; he seems to have mado up his mind to conquer popularity with us by softer arms than those he wielded in the Carpathians in 1849. It was not surprising, therefore, to see him extend his courteous attentions to some of our ladies known for their patriotic spirit, though it was startling that the Chevalier von Benedek paid a visit also to the Countess Louis Batthyanyi. How could he expect the widow of the martyr of the 6th of Octo ber to receive the companion in arms of Haynau ? The countess of course pleaded not at home. Among the several conversations the general had with prrsons thought to participate in some way or other in popular favour, I must mention that which he had with Francis Deak—a conversation instruc tive, certainly, for Imperial experimentalists, if such men could be brought to attach due weight to the voice of practised wisdom. The late Minister of Justice in the ministry of Louis Batthyanyi spoke out with his wonted frankness, and expounded his reasons with that logical acuteness so eminently his own. The upshot of what he said is, that there is no hope of Hungary ever becoming reconciled to the rule of the House of Austria unless the Empe ror should submit to be crowned as King of Hun gary, and to taking the oath of allegiance to the reformed constitution of 1848. With these tidings the General left for Vienna on the 6th inst., where also Count George Apponyi and Baron Joseph Eotvos appeared on the 7th to declare that they and their five colleagues could not accept the appointment in the Reichsrath " under present circumstances." They are insisting upon the same declarations which Beak has made to Benedek ; they have already had several conferences with Count Rechberg and an audience with the Emperor, but no result has as yet transpired. Nor will there be any result, you may depend upon it ; for it must be borne in mind that the zest of the reform our constitution underwent in 1848 is the personal union in the strictest sense; that is, the total separation of the civil as well as the financial and military administration of the kingdom of Hungary from that of the other provinces of the empire under one and the same monarch. Look at Francis Joseph and his advisers, and then consider whether there is a reasonable chance that he will swear and keep to such a constitution. And let us suppose that he, or his brother Maximilian, or any other member of the family who might super sede him on the throne, honestly wished to do it, could they do it ? Would that huge centralised state machinery, rotten to the core, bear such dis junction and reconstruction without breaking to pieces ? It will not, it cannot. An Englishman who lately was introduced into one of our confidential circles, where the opinion was expressed that the Cabinet of Vienna could not solve the present difficulty, even if it would, asked " Why, then, does Baron Eotvos and his friends try the experiment ?" The answer was, " Eotvos and the others are well-meaning patriots ; they take the trouble to go to Vienna to get what they themselves hardly believe can be got there, but they had better let matters alone." If the press were not com pletely gagged, if every free manifestation of opinion were not eagerly watched by spies and checked by policemen and gendarmes, it would soon become manifest that the view of the great majority of the nation was expressed in that simple reply given to ths) inquiring Englishman. Yet sometimes in spite of police and gendarmes, the genuine popular feel ing will find its expression in some occasional out burst. So it happened on the day of the Requiem for Szechenyi in this city. After the funeral mass was over, a multitude of at least 10,000 people crowded before the hotel where the two sons of the deceased resided, and mingled the names of Szechenyi and Kossuth in thundering cheers. There is s o me meaning in the vox populi coupling these two names on that occasion. It seemed as if the inhabitants of the metropolis of Hungary, coming from their prayers for the dead Szechenyi, wished to remind his surviving sons that Kossuth is still alive, the man who never despaired when all despaired. The people of Pesth had just shown, by an act of reli • --a. Low sacred they held the memory of Sze g``"—• ' remembering Kossuth at that same MO ch6nyi, ' that they did not share in the men t, expreseta.. " aTeatest Hungarian," which idiosyncraey , et' the • " etous ! made him often despalringt: -nd Aust r i a is in , the marriage between Hungary —ho er,ce has dissoluble." The name of the man istnL f o s shaken the whole fabric of Austrian deep,. its very foundations,resounding again in tale stret,. of Pesth, is a protest against the thought that the destinies of Hungary are indissolubly guided by' waning star of Austria. And this feeling will find its echo in millions of hearts all over the coun try. The people We never forgotten hi m ITho r-~' O 6 ~ reposed such unswerving faith in the vitality of the nation, and who, by the spell of his genius, roused them gloriously to cope with the armies of two empires for liberty, right, and independence— the nation looks up with veneration and pride to the exile who is pleading their cause withindefati gable zeal and unequalled eloquence; and they know that when the day comes that the tricolour flag shall wave again over the plains and moun tains of Hungary, as it is waving now in Italy, the name of Louis Kossuth will be inscribed on the banner of liberty. MUSCULAR HEATIIENISM. (FroM the New York Times.) This is certainly an age of revivals. Whether the inventive faculties of the race have been exhausted, or whether the theory of Pythagoras and Boat swain Chucks, that all things come round continu ally in cycles, be correct, we may leave it to the philosophers to decide. If they fall into the fashion of the moment, they will get at the truth by a neat little " set-to" in the grounds of Columbia College ; and may " the best man win" the faith of his fellows: But we are certainly going through a course se apings of the past. A few years since all the pros perous shopkeepers of the New World and the Old filled their homes with furniture a la Louis XV. ; sat in the fauteils of marchionesses, who had seen no great difference between a tradesman and a toad stool, and ate from the ormolu tables of abbes whose religion recognised only the higher classes as human. In like manner the pompous ceremonials of the mediaeval church, the intonings of Latin litanies by priests in gorgeous robes; the embroidery of altar cloths for early English churches, and of glittering copes for young persons "pale with vigil and with fast," became the rage. Everybody went mad about the romantic " ages of faith." These backward aspi rations have not commonly borne very satisfactory fruit. To wafer the customs of a bygone time upon an uncongenial generation is apt to make those cus toms rather ridiculous than venerable. Lord Eglin ton's attempt to poke chivalry out of its grave by a tournament in his castle-yard, between knights armed"with lances warranted not to hurt, ended in an immediate shower of rain on the spot, and a last ing subsequent reverberation of quips and jokes and squibs. And the glory of Puseyism is dying out to -day in a vulgar quarrel between a pig-headed elegy man of St. George's-in-the-East, in London, and his equally pig-headed congregation, about a few roses and spangles, and candles more or less, introduced into the service of a church which nobody ever used to attend till it became the scene of a series of re freshing Sabbath-day scrimmages. We are now in the brief throes of still another gush of popular antiquarianism. The old Greek worship of muscle has been suddehly shouted and written and gambled into an effervescent vitality in the two freest countries of the world, which also pretend to be the leaders of civilisation and the great depositories of pure Christianity. The leading English and American journals of March and April, 1860, will be a curious study for the historian in the year 2000. He will find the names of Heenan and Sayers jostling those of Pal merston and Buchanan in their columns, and the most elaborate correspondence devoted to the story of what he will naturally suppose to have been a grand international Olympic Game. Of course, he will understand that the prominence given to these heroes and to their encounter represents the interest taken by the public of each country in the matter ; and as he will also observe in the British journals of these times, innumerable exercitations and homi lies upon the licence of American life, the brutality of American manners and the decay of American institutions, he will reasonably infer that the true gleam of national manhood and dignity which our English cousins owned as worthy of themselves in our degenerate American character, was the equal zeal with which we followed them to the solemni ties of the sublime gymnastic art. In ancient days the poets of Greece did not disdain to sing the praises of those who won the boxer's parsley wreath, and the picturesque enthusiasm with which the London Tinzes .records the prowess of the cham pions who pounded each other black and blue at Farnborough, pales before the brilliant sketch which Virgil has left us of the much more tremendous fight between Dares and Entelias. England and America, therefore, will be fairly enough supposed a century hence to have been possessed, in this year of our Lord 1860, with a sudden fever ef the good old Muscular Heathenism. Every circus stance of the story will favour the supposition. The Pick wickian good-nature of the E ng li s h ma gistracy, who pretended, to keep the belligerents asunder ; the complaisance of the English railway directors, all " honourable men," who consented to invest as equal partners with the pugilistic pietists in the performance of their sacred rites and in the tribute of the worshippers ; the amiable obtuseness of the English police, who watched every railway station in London but the one selected for the great exodus ; the presence on the ground of dukes and earls, peers and members of Parliament, authors and clergymen, the flower of English sta tion and culture and wealth, surely, if these things do not show that England believes in prize-fighting as ever did Nero himself (as capital a judge, by the way, as ever decided a " draw, or a defeat), what in tile world do they show ? And, of course, the in terest and clamour with which the tidings of the fight have been received in America, the tens of thousands of " extras" snatched up by the impa tient public almost before the ship that brought them was fast at her moorings ; the Pindaric pas sion of our people in the conviction that a great triumph was really won for the American name on the 17th of April (why couldn't. they have waited two days for the anniversary of Lexington ?), and that our young Samson having fallen among Phi listines, has been robbed of his due prize—of course, we say, all these American echoes of England's ex citement will be interpreted to prove that we, too, share this great apostacy from faith in the soul back to faith in the fists—from respect to humanity back to delight in aimless suffering and prostituted strength. But there is .another side to the picture. The Muscular Heathenism is, after all, rather a cheap article; no more like the Spartan original than Dr. Pusey was like Pope Gregory VII., or Lord Althorp at Eglinton Castle like - Richard the Lion Heart at Ascalon. In the first place, whoever won the " great fight," or failed to win it--whether Heenan ' blinded but victorious, was chousecl of his glory by some base slave who " cut the rapes" on which Sayers was strangling at the very moment when another squeeze or two would have brought Britain's champion to the " sponge" of shame or no—the fight itself was but a po:)r and , pale imitation of the good old Greek ia, and of those cestus-battles on which the Cretan boxe7s staked their muscular lives. A few days of repose and a bottle of arnica will mend the mo dern maulers of God's visage. The Grecian and Roman giants gave and took blows compaced with which the thumps of Farnborough would seem but friendly taps. The truth is our Christia nity is in our way. We can be muscular, but we can't be comfortably and thoroughly heathenish. This conscience doth make milksops of us all. We may try our best to revive what even pagan Galen called the " vicious gymnastics" of the ancients ; but we shall only parody them. Then, again, we are a money-seeking generation, and our " manly art of self-defence" degenerates so rapidly into a close family connection with "poker" and " brag," and all the other schemes whereby the over-witty contrive to conjure spare cash out of the pockets of the witless into their own, that we shall not see the popular enthusiasm long maintained about " cham pions" who really represent nothing more "na tional" or " international" than would be repre sented by a Mississippi planter and an English baronet betting over the green cloth at Baden- Baden. We are madly given, here in America especially, to the love of sensations. What the sensation may be does not much matter. To be sure, if you spice it with a dash of patriotism, however cheap, it will be for the moment all the more welcome. But it has its hour, and no more. How we shouted when George Steers built us a yacht to beat all England on her own waters ! How much would we give to-day to build George Steers a monument ! How glad we were to burn our City Hall in honour of Cyrus W. Field and the Atlantic telegraph ! No ; the fashion of muscular heathenism, like all the fashion of the world, passeth away, and the chances are that it will have a longer life in Con servative England than in Radical America; among the peers who patronise pugilism, than among the pugilists who aspire to a sat at the aldermanic board, and a voi ce i n the con'ress-making caucuses of New York. THE CHARGES AGAINST THE REV. MR- BON WELL.—On Sunday last the Rev. James Bonwell was served, in the vestry of the church, with a prohibition from the Bishop of London, ordering him not to continue te minister to the congregation of St. Phillip's, Stepney, during the proceedings now pending against him concerning the birth of a child in the school-room of the schools belonging to that church. The articles delivered to him called upon the rev. delinquent to appear and answer certain charges contained in the articles before Dr. Lushington, in the clesiastical Court, at the instance of the Bishop of London.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—May 16. SOUTHWARK.—ROBBERY OF UPWARDS OF £3OO BY A SERVANT.—HORRIBLE DEPRAVITY.— William John Dent, 30, cab-driver, badge No. 13,549, a married man, and Mary Shaw, 19, his niece, who held an infant in her arms, the result of their incestuous intercourse, were brought before Mr. Combe, charged with being concerned with Ann Dent, the wife of the former, in stealing a. cash-box containing £305 in Bank of England notes and gold, and a valuable gold watch and chain, the property of Mrs. Louisa Fisher, a lady, residing at No. 62, Leman-street, Whitechapel. It appeared from the evidence of Dennis Clark, 108 M, that Ann Dent, the male prisoner's wife, had ostensibly separated from him for near two years, and that she obtained a situation at Mrs. Fisher's, in Leman-street, where considerable confidence was reposed in her, and she was believed by her mistress to be a single woman. On Saturday the 7th of last month, she absconded, when Mrs. Fisher discovered that she had stolen her cash•box., containing £305 in Bank of England notes and gold, besides a valu able gold watch and chain. A reward of £6O was offered for her apprehension, but up to the present time she managed to elude the vigilance of the police, Clark, who is an active officer, made in quiries, and after some trouble discovered that the prisoners had lived together as man and wife for near fifteen months. In consequence of that he went to a house in Crosby-row, Long-lane, Ber mondsey, and found the female prisoner with her infant, and in the rooms occupied by her and the man he found a new bedstead, bedding, chairs, tables, linen, and a quantity of recently-purchased wearing apparel, which she could not account for. Ile took her into custody, and afterwards appre hended the man, as being concerned in Mrs. Fisher's robbery. Mr. Combe asked whether it was true that the prisoners were so nearly related. Clark replied that the male was uncle to the , female, and that they had lived together some time. The male prisoner denied living with his niece, but he admitted that he was the father of the child. As for his wife, he had separated from her nearly two years, and had net spoken to her for fourteen months. Mr. Combo told him he was a disgraceful fellow by his own admission. Seducing his own niece, and then living a life of deplorable profligacy with her. He then asked the officer (Clark) what evidence he had to show that they were in anywise connected with the robbery. Clark said that the property he had found had no doubt been purchased with the proceeds, as the male prisoner had been seen with his wife within the last fortnight, and he had been known to have had a considerable sum of money in his possession. The articles were all new, and the female could give no account whatever of the possession. .A little more than a month ago she was in the greatest poverty. The male prisoner said he knew all about the property. It was honestly come by. Mr. Combe told him that he understood him to say he did not live with the young woman, his niece. If that were the case, what should he know of the property ? He was a disgraceful fellow, and not fit for the society_ of any human being. His worship then asked whether there was any clue to the wife's whereabouts. _ Jackson, a private deteci:ve officer, said that there was, and, if a remand were granted, no doubt the police would be able to apprehend her in a few days. They would also be able to trace the Bank notes that had been stolen, and show that some had been in the possession of the prisoners; Mr. Combe accordingly remanded them until Tuesday next.
