CAROLINE. CHISHOLM ON THE BALLOT. Mrs. Chisholm, it will be recollected, a few years since undertook, with some adventurous spirit, to direct the migration to Australia of a number of well-conducted, industrious young women. We be lieve that the success of her enterprise greatly con duced to establish the equilibrium of the sexes, which has been promotive of at once a higher civi lisation and an extended morality. Her natural energy and administrative talent have been accom panied 'by a clear-sightedness which has enabled her to perceive how favourable are the political institutions enjoyed by the denizens of the land of her adoption • and in a remarkable letter, addressed to Mr. Bright, she exhorts that gentleman to struggle till he obtains for the people of the mother country similar ameliorations. in the course of her letter Mrs. Chisholm says :—The " dark ages" of politics are gone by ; those men who would eman cipate the millions must not look out for precedents, but must erigivate and organise a state-machinery equal-to the work of the nation, and to the progres sive spirit of the times. The existence and the legitimate rights of the people must be recognised. The political regeneration of the nation must keep pace with the rapidly growing intelligence of the masses, and this intellectual advancement of the industrious classes in England will soon neutralise„ or break up, that great oligarchical ass oc i a ti on , th e " Carlton Club," with its system of political jockeyism and corruption. Rest assured, sir, that the most legitimate and successful means by which the con summation of your wishes can be accomplished will be by carrying out the following three vital points —viz., the Ballot, Manhood Suffrage, and Payment of Members. In these colonies the ballot has been tried, and found to work so satisfactorily for the public good, that I think I shall be excused by you and the public for calling your attention to its suc cessful working in Victoria and New South Wales. I have closely watched its operation at both places, and I earnestly hope the people of England will never rest contented until they have wrung from the British Parliament this powerful weapon of self-defence—this great test of freedom—and this pallAdiUM of rameis rights—Nowcaftle Qltronicle.

The duties performed by these so-called temporary clerks are the same as those falling to the share of the regular establishment, and their efficiency and zeal have repeatedly been acknowledged by those in authority over them. But though on a footing of equality with the regular clerks in regard to all they give, they are far from being so in regard to what they receive, for besides the drawback that their salary can never rise above £l5O, they labour under the following disadvantages as compared with the clerks on the establishment : 1. They cannot obtain a rise, however small, in their salary, from £l2O upwards, without being waled upon to give considerable extra time. 2. The leave of absence to which they have a claim during the year is less by three weeks than that allowed regular clerks. 3. When attacked by illness, and obliged in consequence to be absent from the office beyond the period of leave to which they are entitled, their pay is stopped, and they are liable to bo dismissed. 4. That in consequence of the difference in the extent of their leave of absence, each of the temporary clerks gives three weeks more of labour every year than the regular clerks, besides the extra time he may give every day. When, in addition to this, it is taken into consideration that many of the gentlemen employed as temporary clerks were appointed before the existence of the office of the civil commissioners, and that now, being disqualified by ago f rom com p e ti ng a t the periodicalexammation, they are left without a chance of being placed upon the establishment, it will be admitted that there is much in their position that calls for ameliora tion, while none of the features in it are so painful as their being liable to be dismissed at any period. It may be said that having accepted the appointment with these conditions attached to it, and being at liberty to throw it up whenever they please, they have nothing to complain of; but let it bo remembered that many of these men have spent four, five, and even seven years of their life and their, best labour in the avocation, and, since they are continued in their places, it ie evident that they have done so to the satisfaction of their employers. Now, is it an eco nomy worthy of the Government of a great country like ours to retain a class of men in their service under what may surely be denominated a pretence, in order to keep them within conditions which could not otherwise be offered ? Four years have now elapsed since the conclu sion of the war for whose special exigencies they were ori ginally engaged, and their number instead of decreasing is apparently increasing. Does nut this show that the War office is in need of permanent assistance ? Why, then, call the men who give this, " temporary clerks," and thus maintain in the service of the state a class of servants con fessedly underpaid, though admitted to be zealous and duly qualified for the labour imposed upon them ? for the fact of the regular clerks receiving higher salaries every year, being allowed longer leave of absence, and not being sub jected to dismissal except for misconduct, is tantamount to a confession that the other men, who do the same, if not more work, and are equally zealous and efficient, are very considerably underpaid. That cases of actual hardship do occur under the system may be illustrated by the following two. The one is that of a gentleman who having served four years as a temporary clerk was seized last summer with a severe attack of rheu matic fever, which confined him to his bed, and incapaci tated him for work for a period extending beyond the few weeks' leave of absence to which he was entitled ; in consi deration thereof a further short term was granted him, but his pay was stopped. Having a wife and children to sup port, this was a deprivation which ho could not endure, and consequently while obliged to support himself on crutches, he dragged himself painfully into his seat in the office every day, and endeavoured to perform his duty as well as possible under the circumstances. His col leagues deeply compassionated his sufferings ; s me of them would willingly have foregone part of their leave if it might have added to his ; but official routine leaves no opening for the exorcise of generous sympathy, and the poor man, whose illness had been brought on in the per formance of his duties, was dismissed with n small gratuity, granted at his own earnest solicitation, and thrown breo - and helpless on the world with a wife aad Another clerk, who had been likewise ill from fever, ex ceeded his. leave of absence, and wrote to his immediate principal to ask for an extension of the leave—which Feti non, being strongly backed - by the latter, was granted by the chief clerk- 7 , not, however, in the most gracious in saner, for he observed that, according to the rule, the sick clerk ought to be dismissed, and his pay was fortl;with stopped. It is in the hope of attracting the notice of the public and of Parliament to a state of things so anomalous and so de rogatory to the character of the public service that this statement has been prepared. If tho the IVar-office re quires permanent assistance let the establishment be in creased, and all the clerks receive the same pay and the same advantages in return for the same work ana the same zeal, and let not ono class of them, because called on by an erroneous appellation, be made to do more duty for less pay, and be excluded from the privilege of regularly in creasing pay, and to hold their places at the caprico . of Go vernment, with no other advantage to the latter that can be seen than that of furnishing a convenient opening for patronage, as one temporary clerk may be dismissed and another engaged without any one having the right to com plain or to ask a question. EUROPEAN ARMY IN INDIA. The Government have determined to discontinue the separate European Army in India. That any decision has been arrived at will be heard with a certain satisfaction by the Indian officers, who have been long in a state of harassing uncertainty as to their fate. Suspense is, at any rate, at an end. To the general public, however, this announcement may convey only a very vague idea, and we can scarcely hope to make it plain without some slight sketch of what our military force in India has been and now is. Up to May, 1857, when the mutinies broke out, the British power in India rested upon three distinct military bodies. In the first place, there was always a contingent of the Royal Army, usually about 25,000 strong, taking its turn of duty in India ; secondly, there was the Company's European Army, consisting of Engineers, Artillery, and Infantry, and generally numbering about 15,000 men ; lastly, there was the Company's re gular Native Army—that great Sepoy Army which three years ago rose in mutiny against its masters. This seldom amounted to less than 250,000 sabres and bayonets. So tremendous a force had grown up with the necessities of conquest, and it sub sisted with tolerable ease upon the resources of the industry it protected or coerced. But, with the exception of the contingent of the Royal Army, it has all vanished. The Army of the East India Com pany has dissolved even as the sovereignty of the Company has dissolved. That quarter of a million of disciplined native soldiers has been destroyed. The Sepoy Army, from having been the defence of India, became the enemies of our power, and have become the victims of our prowess. They are slaugh tered, or they are driven into hiding, or they are forced back into the civil population. The Com pany's European Army has, with a strange fatality, followed the fate of the Sepoys. They have also disbanded themselves. The Indian authorities who have shown themselves se curiously infelicitous both in their firmness and in their conciliation, had no sooner succeeded in overriding the storm occa sioned by the mutiny of their high-caste native sol diery, than they provoked a quarrel with their European Army upon a question of disputed bounty. Most of these men took their discharge, and are now in England. Of all the Company's force, therefore, there is next to nothing left. There is, indeed, an immense quantity of miscellaneous levies, Sikhs and others, which have been called to gether to hunt down the Sepoys, but these are an irregular and extraordinary force—a mere substi tute for what is gone. Of the old orthodox Indian Army there is nothing but the officers and some wrecks' and relics of the corps which they com manded. It was under these circumstances that the ques tion arose whether wo should repair the old system, or whether we should contrive a new one. Shall we constitute out of the 400,000 irregular native troops, now or lately in our pay, an army like to that which we have just annihilated ; and shall we recruit more men in Europe to fill up the skeletons of the Company's European regiments, or shall we change The whole system, and have one Imperial Army ? As to the natives there could be no great doubt. We could not keep near half-a million of military rabble in pay. It was plain that when we had picked out of these an efficient police, and draughted off an auxiliary force suffi cient to garrison stations unfavourable to Euro pean life, and to do duties which in a hot climate Europeans do not advantageously perform, we must send the rest back to their rice-fields. But the question as to the Europeans was much more doubt ful. The old European force of the Company was as fine a fighting force as ever appeared in India since the time of Alexander. Any one who enters upon the study of their achievements would pro bably soon -become so excited by the incidents of their history that he would grow to prefer them to any army whose deeds are chronicled in our Euro pean, annals, Their colours are, for the space 'of time over which their career extends, the grandest things in existence. The Ist Regiment of European Fusileers numbers thirteen great battles—every battle o victory against tremendous odds, and every victory a conquest of an enormous territory. These heroes of our Indian Empire have continued in succession undegenerate to the present day. At Delhi they were as good as any of the Royal re giments, and better than most. It was right, there fore, to pause before we destroyed an " institution" like this, and with such a history. But, on the other hand, the hopelessness of unbroken Indian service—no vision even afar off of a return to home, except to die—give a character of desperation to this corps, which induced a laxity of discipline. The recent example of general insubordination and practical desertion was not encouraging or de sirable to bo maintained as a precedent in an exist• ing force. If it had been in full and thriving exist ence it would not have been prudent to destroy it; but now that it is by its own act defunct it has been thought unwise so revive it. The old system, with all its advantages, had the disadvantage of having under the same Queen two armies, with two dif ferent systems of promotion, pay, and allowances, serving side by side. For this it is now determined to substitute one Imperial Army, taking its turn of duty throughout the British Empire in all its home provinces and foreign dependencies. In principle there can be no doubt about the propriety of this resolve ; but its expediency is not quite so clear as it might seem upon this general statement. The object is one of undoubted advan tage, but the details are of almost insurmountable difficulty. Although the ni - m of the Sepoy Army and of the European Army are destroyed, disperses or disbanded, the officers remain. Many of these have undoubtedly' been already provided for in the police or in civil employ ments in India, but many remain still without employ. What system can be adopted whereby these officers can be draughted into the Royal Army without injury to those privi leges which are secured to them by Act of Parlia ment, and which are to them a lawful property ? The nominal rank of an officer in the Company's service and in the Queen's service had no identity whatever. In the Company's service the pay was very much greater and the promotion was very much slower. It happened, therefore, that a cap tain in the company's service often had a very con siderable income, and the command of a most im portant force ; whereas his rank, if he were draughted into the Queen's Army, would reduce him to the command of a company, and to one tenth of his ancient pay. It is not competent to us here to enter into the details of the arrangements by which this great difficulty is to be met, but it is obvious that very liberal treatment must be set before the Indian officers to induce them to give up their present advantages and to subside into the general mess of the British Army. One happy occasion offers of easing the roughness of this transition. These must be of necessity a special Indian Staff department for all the branches of Indian service. Ultimately this will be filled by Imperial officers who choose Indian studies as their early occupation, and who elect to make India their career; but for the present it will probably form a means of employment to many of the Indian offi cers who may not find a compensation for their previous position in their corresponding rank in the Queen's Army. This is a very difficult problem to be worked out and a very desirable object to be attained. It seems to us that, if the Government honestly undertake it, with a view to do as fairly as they can by all parties, they ought to be aided by indulgent criti cism and a general support. It is not to be expected that every one can be satisfied ; it is scarcely to be hoped that some real grievances will not occur. But we must remember that the old system has sunk under our feet, that it is not we who are destroy ing, but that we are called upon to reconstruct; and that, having to reconstruct, we have some right to ask of the old materials to be content with the best places we can give them in the new edifice. We must do them no wrong, but we must ask them to bear with us while we adapt them to the utilities of a new era.—Tiwes. THE MURDER, AND SUICIDE IN SHOREDITCH. Yesterday evening Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for the eastern division of Middlesex, re sumed the investigation, at Mr. Gill's, the Black llors< Tavern, Kinfrsland-road, into the circum stances attending the death of Ellen Hart, aged 41 years, who was found my.rdered at No. 40, Phillip. street, Kingsland-road, on Tuesday morning last. It will be remembered that every circumstance which came to light in the investigation rnai.e by the police went clearly to show that the deceased woman had met her death at the hands of a man named Joseph Itadden, with whom she cohabited, and these suspicions were strongly confirmed by the fact that on Wednesday morning his dead body was found in the Regent's Canal, with his hands so faetened as to leave no doubt that he had committed suicide: The body was removed to the Shoreditch workhouse, which being in the same district the coroner last evening also proceeded with an inquiry into the cause of the death of the alleged murderer. The jury having proceeded to view the body of the suicide the following . evidence was taken: — Sarah Parks was the first witness examined, and deposed that she lived at No. 2, Weymouth-street. She knew the deceased by working with her. She saw the deceased on Monday at five o'clock ; they then both went to No. 12, Whitmore-street, and there found Radden, deceased, and another woman at tea. Nothing in particular was said. They both stopped there till after 7 o'clock, when the deceased and Radden went to the Sir Robert Peel public house and left' about 10 o'clock.. The deceased and Radden were both the worse for drink, but they did not quarrel. She saw nothing of them till, the next morning, when she went to the house of the deceased in Phillip-street, at 10 o'clock. Witness went into the room and found the deceased lying in bed covered with blood. She immediately gave the alarm. E. Morgan, 55, Old Castle-street, Shoreditch, said she was a companion of the deceased. She'also knew the deceased man. They were both fond of drink and occasionally given to quarrelling, but the deceased woman once threatened that she could transport Radden, or that she would " do" for him. She saw nothing of the deceased or Radden until Monday morning. Deceased was jealous of Radden. Mr. John Gay, senior surgeon to the Great Northern Hospital, said he had made an *examina tion of the body yesterday morning with Mr. Clark. He found the body in the middle of the bed, lying on the left side. The head was drawn back, lying on two pillows, the trunk nearly straight, the thighs bent at a right angle on the body, the right knee about three inches in advance of the ]eft, from a slight inclination of the right side of the pelvis for wards. " The right arm rested on the side, the fore arm of that side was bent at right angles with the arm ; the hand was clenched firmly and lying in a pool of blood on the bed ; the left arm lay under the side; the forearm was bent at an acute angle, the hand lying on its back on the under pillow, about five inches off the chin. There was a nightcap on the head, tied under the chin ; a chemise on the body, tied in front, but leaving the neck, bare. The mouth was nearly closed, the tip of the tongue held firmly by the teeth. There were two marks, but of questionable character, each of the size of a shilling—one on either side of the nose, just above the mouth. There was a deep incised wound across the throat, extending 31 inches from the left of the middle line of the' neck to the end of the collarbone on the opposite side, and slanting from above backwards and forwards. It was 8 inches in length and 21 inches in width where it gaped most. Os the left side of the neck it was comparatively superficial in the first two inches of its course, and it did not extend to the larger vessels, but over the middle of the neck and on the right side it extended to the vertebrae—that is as deep as it could be carried without dividing the bone of the spinal column. In this part of its course it had divided the superficial and deep muscle, the trachea or windpipe, between the second and third rings, the gullet and the carotid artery, the jugular veins and nerves, besides some smaller vessels. It was deep at its termination on the right side, and carried under the skin close behind the collarbone. The muscles had retracted violently, and large cots of blood occupied the wound, and extended from it to the pool of blood in the bed. Some air-bubbles occupied the termination of the windpipe. Tie: body generally was rigid, and the right bsnd was' firmly clenched. There wure no other masks of violence on the body. There were a few spots of blood on the face. The chin was 'bloody as well as the string of the nightcap. There was blood upon the chemise and on the pillow, a n d a large quantity of clotted blood upon the sheet in front of the body. Some of the blood had pene trated through the bed and sacking and trickled on the floor. There was no blood under the body, showing that there had been no struggle. The wound in the throat was the cause of death. It was impossible that it was a suicide ; he was con firmed in that opinion by the direction that the wound had taken. It was evidently a wound in ' flitted by some sharp instrument during sleep. Mr. Clark said he examined the body of Raddcn soon after it was taken out of the water. The hands were tied with a handkerchief; the right coat sleeve, the right pocket of the coat, and the wrist band were spotted with blood. There were no marks of violence on the body to account for death. Death was caused by suffocation produced by drowning. The Coroner, in summing up, pointed out the facts bearing on the occurrence, and alluded par ticularly to the evidence of Mrs. Webb, who was visited by ,Redden at two o'clock on Tuesday morn ing. The court wag then cleared, and after a short deliberation the jury returned the following ver dict :—" That the deceased Ellen Hart was wilfully murdered by Joseph Radden ; that the said Joseph Radden was found dead in the Regent's Canal by suffocation by drowning ; and although there was no evidence on that point the jury believed that he ueturvyeu His own life." The_ inquiry then termi nated. THE NAVY. The screw steamship Orion, 91, Capt. John J. B. E. Frere, from Gibraltar, May 5, which arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday, as reported yes terday, brought home naval and military invalids and the wives and families of some soldiers. The seamen were conveyed by the steamer Zephyr to the guardship Impregnable, in Hamoaze, and the soldiers and women were landed at Mount Wise. The Orion has discharged her powder, and will go into Hamoaze as soon as convenient. She left all the stores she could spare at Malta. The Doris and Scourge were at Gibraltar when she left. The paddlewheel steam sloop Virago, 6, Com mander Dunn, which left Plymouth Sound on Thursday evening for Portsmouth, is gone there to have her boilers repaired ; if much damaged she will be supplied with new ones. The Virago, 6, paddle, Commander M. B. Dunn, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the westward. The Imperial Brazilian corvette Dona Isabel, Capt. Bento de Carvalho, is daily expected to arrive at Spithead, from New York, having sailed from the latter port on the 15th of April. The Ranger, 5, screw schooner, Commander Wra- ' tislaw, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Wool wich, on her way to the coast of Africa. The Traveller gunboat, tender to the Asia, steam guardship of ordinary at Portsmouth, has been sup plied with new boilers at the north wall of the steam basin. On removing the old boilers from this vessel it was discovered that a number of her through bolts underneath the boilers had never been clinched. As the vessel has not been placed in dock, it is impossible to say that this would be the only defect found to exist in connexion with her original construction. Her Majesty's ship Lizard has arrived at Har- wich. The War Department steamer Balaklava sailed from Plymouth on Thursday for Woolwich with stores, saved from the stranded transport Havering. It is probable that the screw steam storeship Vi=lay a, Capt. Seccombe, after landing her troops at Portsmonth, will be sent to Plymouth ttif'be docked at Keyham stettmyard in No. 1 dock, which was lengthened about three years since purposely to receive her. The artizans of the Devonport Dockyard are pre. paring the ways for launching the screw steamship Gibraltar, 101. The launch will probably take place the first spring tides in June. TEE ARMY. Yesterday orders were r , ceived from the Horso Guards by the officers in command of the three battalions of infantry at Chatham garrison, direct ing the following troops from each of the East India depots to be held in readiness to embark for India 7 --viz., 60 men of the Ist battalion,l9th Regi ment; one sergeant and 69 men of the Ist batta lion, 20th Regiment ; '7O men of the Ist battalion, 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers ; one sergeant and 97 men of the 35th (Royal Sussex) Regiment ; two sergeants, one drummer, and 257 men of the 73d Regiment ; 96 men of the 75th Regiment ; and 115 men of the 77th Regiment—total, 769 men of all ranks, the whole of whom embark for Calcutta. The following reinforcements are to embark for Kurrachee—viz. :-60 men of the Ist battalion, 24th Regiment ; 50 men of the 52d Light Infantry, 35 men of the 81st Regiment, and 60 men of the 94th Regiment—total 205 men, The troops who proceed to Madras are 1 sergeant and 185 men of the 43d Light Infantry, and 1 sergeant and 271 men of the 91st Regiment—total, 2 sergeants and 455 men. The entire number of troops selected to proceed from Chatham garrison to India is 1,432 men of all ranks, the whole bf whom are to be belt in readiness to embark as soon as the necessary amount of tonnage has been taken up for them by the Hon. Council for India. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has issued a general order, directing that the chaplains to the army, both at home and abroad, arc in future to wear the military uniform which has been de cided upon, and sealed patterns of which may be inspected at the Horse Guards. The general order states that the uniform is not to be worn by the chaplains at all times, but on State occasions, re views, field-days, in camp, and on other important occasions. The same uniform is to be worn by the Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic chaplains. The purchase of St. John's Abbey farm, near Colchester, is stated to have been effected for the purposes of a military drill ground. The extent of the farm is about 160 acres. MARINE GUNNERY.—A heavy steamer rolls far more than a sailing ship of similar size, so much the greater, therefore, is her tendency to cause inaccuracy of aim. To obviate this difficulty, steam men-of-war are now provided with heavy pendulums suspended amidships, the move mauls of which the captains of gun., with trigger line in hand, watch carefully, pulling the laniard only at the pre cise moment that the perpendicular position of the pendu. lu ursks Navies mindicates of the ivorl thattheve d. vessel is on an even keel. — Hans B DREADEUL OCCURRENCE.—PORTSIJOETII, FRI.. and fry DAY.—A report has reached hero that Ser g eant Whi tworth, lovfilgth, destroyedoy t alrtillery hsitsat wife e d at e children this morning b y nearl y sever ing their heads from d o f a w the San down C F o o a r s t t , r Isleg aodfo t i evr t e t r e hs d iewh t hetreiee despatchedudnrteeratdufnul their bodies, and afterwards attempted to cut his own throat, but failed to do so effectually.

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.—We visited this theatre on Monday evening, to witness, previous to his departure, Mr. T. C. King, in a character often played by Mr. Charles Kean, in a dramatic play called "Pauline." Elis manly voice and gentlemanly deportment was suitable to the character. He was received most cordially by the audience from the rising to the fall of the curtain. He afterwards appeared as " Rob Roy," and we can safely say there are few melo-dramatic actors who can approach him in the portrayal of the bold outlaw. At the termination of each act, and at the conclusion of the play, he was called forward to received the loud applause of his admirers. During his first brief engagement his success has been complete, and, much to the regret of many, his provincial engagements will cause a short absence from London. His return will, no doubt, be looked forward to by his Eastern admirers, who will accord him a hearty welcome whenever that event takes place. The stock company of the theatre, which is not always the rule, have rendered Mr. Xivif every assistance during his stay amongst them.
