The general scheme and objects proposed to .be embraced by this Company may be thus described, viz.:—The eon ',traction, maintenance, management, and working of Such works of irrigation, water transit, and water sup tilr in India, with their auxiliary undertakings as may, nem time to time, be found to be of a profitable character, niter the necessary sanction of Government has been secured to each project. The works selected for first operations, and intended to be immediately entered upon, have been examined by en gineers of the highest attain ments and Indian experience, Who urgently recommended them for construction by Go vernment as being, in their opinion, amongst the most important, and in promise the most profitable of their character in India. These works will consist of : Firstly,—lrrigating and Navigable Canals, with all sub sidiary works throughout the rich and extensive alluvial Deltas of Orissa and the adjoining districts, receiving their supply from the copious and never-failing waters of three great rivers, the Mahanuddy, the Byturny, and the Brah many, which, with their affluents, intersect and command the trade and aommelqa p countries, together much larger in extent than England and Wales, and abknding in agricultural and mineral wealth. The land in Orissa alone, capable of being thus affected, is estimated to amount to about 2,000,000 acres. Secondly,—A main Irrigating and Navigable Canal, con necting the above works and districts with the port and city of Calcutta, starting from Balasore and passing by Midna- Poor te the Iloogly River, opposite to Calcutta, with all subsidiary channels necessary to irrigate about 2,500,000 acres of good land contained in the surrounding - country. -The present Secretary of State for India, in Council, In March last, addressed to the Government of India an official communication calling attention to the im pedance of constructing these works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by the local Government. A desire to see an unguaranteed Company established led, however, he states, to their con %salon to this Company. The main sources of profit will be : Firstly,—The sale of water tb the Government for the irrigation of land. Secondly.—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals and Water-ways by the public. To these may be added as available but subsidiary means f additional returns : I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories established on the banks of the various channels. 3.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce raised uponthe land of the Company. And, 4.—The supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of them has been already ascertained to be highly productive in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals In the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, repr esent a large per tentage upon outlay. It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in— stance, to the sum of £1.000,000, divided into 50,000 shares of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of D. per share only, with a further payment of £1 per share when the -filial agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed, reface to support effective operations for the first twelve months. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice Will be given to each shareholder. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to those applicants who are shareholders in the Madras Irri gation and Canal Company, to the extent of the number of shares held by them in that company, and all future issues of shares in England will be distributed pro rata amongst such of the then existing shareholders in the present corn- Party as may be desirous of taking them. A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may , now be,had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can non-street, 8.C., London ; or at the Company's Bankers, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., 1, Pall-Mall East. PAVIESON'S EVERLASTING TEETH.— Trill LATEST DISCOVERY.—Mr. EDWARD DAVIESON, Surgeon-Dentist, has introduced a material for the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH so extraor dinary that nature appears to have made good the ravages of TIME, DISEASE, or ACCIDENT, and when fitted detec tion is impossible even though the wearer's mouth be closely examined. The price is so moderate that it is within the reach of all, and it is fitted without springs or other unsightly fastenings. The removal of stumps is unnecessary, and thus all pain is avoided. Mr. Edward Davieson invites one visit of inspection to his establishment, which will convince the most sceptical of the truth and straightforwardness of this statement. The LIQUID ENAMEL, for Stopping Decayed Teeth, is ENAMEL WHITE, keeps its colour, and lasts for ever. It is invaluable for Front Teeth. Attendance daily from Ten till Six. Consultations free.

ESKEL L, Surgeon Dentist, 8, Grosvenor-street, has just PATENTED an INVEN TION for the CONSTRUCTION and ADAPTATION of ARTIFICIAL TEET El and GUMS, whick stands unrivalled for the following extraordinary advantages :—First—A set of Teeth, of exquisite workmanship and mechanism, can be fitted with the most perfect accuracy and success IN TWO "[OURS, withoutpain or extraction of stumps, and answer ing all the purposes of mastication and articulation. Second—They are fixed without wires, springs, or fasten ings, and adapt theinselves so perfectly to the gums that they are quite immoveable except s at the option of the wearer. Third—Artificial Teeth made in the ordinary way are ren dered useless by the loss of any of' the natural teeth to which they are attached, but by this patent they are not impaired in the slightest degree, are always useful, and will last a life time. Fourth—Residents abroad, or in the country, can ad just these teeth in any of the above cases without the aid of a dentist. Mr. Eskell's patent can only be procured at his residence, where specimens may be seen and every informa tion obtained. Teeth made upon ordinary principles where preferred, at very reduced charges.

I kl tsto / „"• - Tag, , N- . 1 - 4 5 .A a,* NEAPOLITAN VPRSION OF THE The Naples correspondent of the Presse commu 3icates the following as Colonel Bosco's report of ;he battle of Melazzo:— The combat sustained at this date by the brave soldiers of the battalions of Chasseurs (lst, Bth, and 9th), the courage and calmness with which they sustained, for eight hours and a half, a fire from a quintuple force, is certainly worthy of honourable mention in the history of the Neapoli- tan army. It was before daybreak that the commander of the column mounted his horse, and, putting the disposable forces under arms led them on to rein force the positions already occupied. Most certain information had been received that an attack would have to be sustained on that day. About five a.m., from the telegraph situated in the fort we discovered very numerous masses de seending from Miri towards the village of San Pietro. Informed of the fact, Colonel del Bosco ordered. out the artillery, which, in pursuance of previous orders, was at the Messina gate; and a part of the guns to be planted on the shore in the direction of the San Giovanni post, en echelon with the other battery placed in the Unnazzo-house. This section of ordnance was guarded by a com pany of chasseurs, with a view to protect the other, in case the enemy should desire to dislodge our right wing. Another section of artillery was placed upon the bridge further back than the Grottoes, so as to sweep the road from Miri to St. Peter •, and, lastly, the fourth section of artillery formed an integral part of the advanced poste along the circular way, serv ing as a support to the post at the Mills. These 'dispositions had been taken before it was perceived that the enemy could come upon us by five routes leading to Melazzo from Barcellona and Santa Lucia. The'first of them runs along the shore ; the second lies within the gardens and ends at the Unnazzo-house, the Leonati crossing, and the San Pepino-broadway ; the third goes along :the.Fiu mara (a course hollowed out by the action of the waters), which enters the village of St. Peter, and issues as an enclosed path behind the Grottoes ; the fourth is along the consular way of Melazzo ; and the fifth by the strand on the eastern side, leading to the Mills. The advanced posts along the cape as far as the Lanthorn amounted to 450 men, who were to pre vent any landing behind the positions facing Bar cellona. Precisely at 6 o'clock we were attacked, and without the slightest provocation on our part, at the centre of our line, that is to say, at the post facing the St. Peter's-road. Shortly after ' the enemy presented himself along the whole line, from one shore to the other of the sea. ~ / ~~~~ ~, l Piuci x t , 4D, STAMPED, sr. behind the whole of his force. They informed him at the same' time that if he opposed such a propo sition, Del Bosco would be blown up with all the garrison of the fort before 48 hours. Without hesitation Del Bosco replied that he preferred being blown up alone, seating himself over the mine, to accepting thedegradiug condi tions; and that he would leave history to judge who was the bravest or more generou, the victor or the vanquished ; this latter was then in the fort, because he had been repulsed by a force five times stronger than his own. The capitulation was made next day, the 24th, by Colonel Ansam, of . the staff, sent from Naples for this purpose, with four frigates to negotiate the 'departure of the garrison. Colonel del Bosco was accordingly obliged to submit to what had been, notwithstanding, his wish, arranged in virtue of superior order. And Garibaldi, although he had agreed that the garrison should leave with the honours of war, demanded basely, and obtained as an express condition, that the two horses should be left to him, although they were Colonel Del Bosco's exclusive property. Such proceedings show the gravity of the danger into which Garibaldi and his partisans were brought by a handful of brave Neapolitans. Until 11 o'clock before noon the advantage of the day was with the small number of resolute men that were defending Melazzo. These details are submitted to his Excellency the Minister of War, by the Brigadier Del Bosco, who passes over in silence many feats of gallantry and acts of generosity that shall be recorded later in the list of those who distinguished themselves. (Signed) • The Colonel-Commandant DEL Bosco. (August 2. NAVAL PROMO! lONS OF LA S2' WEEK. A " Civilian " in a letter to a contemporary says: —An unusual opportunity has just presented itself to the First Lord of the Admiralty to do justice to the claims of', among others, about 20 of the Lieu tenants on the active list of the navy most deserving of advancement, and my; object in addressing this letter to you and asking the favour of its insertion in an early number of your paper is to draw atten tion to the manner in which the work of selection, an impartial performance of which is so important to the maintenance of the interests of the service, has been performed, and I hope that the publica tion of this communication will be the means of causing some independent member of each branch of the Legislature to require from the representa tives of the Government explanations of the reason that the opportunity has been abused, by the pro motion of a number of junior officers, to the exclu sion of those senior on the active list, and that thus the matter may be thoroughly ventilated. Take the following 12 of the selected, and an equal number of the senior officers alluded to, and in the absence of special grounds (for selection on the one hand, and rejection on the other) I should be glad,to know how such men as the latter list 'contains can be thus slighted without serious detri ment to the welfare and popularity of that service which it is the bounden duty of the Lords of the Admiralty to uphold the interest of.

The sett acquired by the present company consists of the well-known valuable mine called Wheal Concord, extending over Wonwood Estate, in the parish of South Sydenham, in the county of Devon. The situation of the property is most promising, being about one mile north of the Great Devon Consols, and bounded on the west by Wheal Grace, Wheal Carpenter, West Wheal Carpenter. and Devon Kapunda Mines ; on the east by Colla combe, formerly West Wheal Friendship ; and north and east by Wheal Walter and Great Wheal Flugo. Most of the lodes in those various setts run into and through the whole length of Wheal Concord. The extent of the sett is upwards of 850 fathoms east and west on the run of the lodes, and 520 fathoms north and south, embracing seven known lodes of the most promising appear ance; there are also three cross courses and a counter lode, recently discovered, which every experienced miner well knows the value of. The three lodes more immediately to the south boundary intersect each other. The principal workings have hitherto been confined to the engine or C lode. Therenre few mines in the 'Kingdom which can be worked more economically. . . The large copper lode now being wrou g ht on in the adjoin ing Collacombe sett ".being a dividend-paying mint," and about 20 fathoms from the boundary wall, underlying north into the Concord sett, is an important feature in this mine Upwards of 1,400 tons of ore have been raised and sold from shallow levels ; and from the cross cut south of engine shaft 144 tons of lead ore were raised in one month by four men. — Samples of the ore can be seen, and prospectuses and plans may be obtained from the Secretary, at the offices of the Company. m- A 'FTNI, Ient LANTERNS out, and sent into ana any try, with tke option to p urc h ase .

Lord Elcho makes the following remarks on a let : ter going the round of the papers, headed " Roya National Rifles," and signed John R. W.almisley : The writer says, " I am takirg steps to form a bri• gale of riflemen composed of artisans and the more respectable of the labouring classes, and, as it is the intention to assist the men in obtaining the uniform and to form a benevolent fund, I have to solicit the favour of , your donation or annual subscription." The first thing that strikes one in this circular is the strangeness of its heating, ." Royal National Rifles." Why "Royal ?" Why "National" more than any existing corps ? It is not, however, for the purpose of criticising the title of the proposed corps that I ventare to call public at tention to this circular, but because I know, from having lately attended two meetings of working men, that there is a strong and laudable feeling on the part of the artisan class ;hat those of their num ber who can afford it shoull take part in the de fence of their country, and it is therefore most important to consider what steps should be taken with a view to their admission into the ranks of the Volunteers. Is it desirable or necessary to form special artisan corps, aided or supported by Public subscriptions? Is there any reason why artisans should not enter the ranks of the Vclunteers alr g with the other classes of society? N ow, bell ing, as. I do, that the success of the Volunteer movement depends upon the force being very large as well as well-trained and disciplined, and that numbe rs can only be got by the admission of the best working men to the Volunteer ranks, I am nevertheless of opinion, and I hope to be able to show, that it is neither desir able nor necessary to form smial artisan corps. It is not desirable, because in this country the different classes of society home few opportunities of meeting, and because vohnteering presents this opportunity, and enables them to meet together an d unite shoulder to shoulder in defence of their common country. All, indeed, who have taken an active part ie this movement will bear witness to the social good arising from it, and it is impossible to over-estimate the many social advantages to which it may lead. If, however, special artisan corps be established, not only is this great good lst, but positive evil will arise from the strengtheri, Ile; and perpetuating of class distinctions, which tone but the political agi tator can wish to do. It is not necessary, because there is no reason why artisans should not enter into existing corps if the expenses of these corps a re kept within moderate bounds, and if some sligh concessions are made in their favour. In the corps I have the honour to command there are no 150 Scottish artisans; these men pay for their uniform and accoutrements, the cost of which, includi ng cap, blouse, tunic, trousers, leggings, belts, and pouches, is under £3 35., by weekly ins tal ments of ls, 3d., and the only concession made to them , --- is, that they pay no en t r a n ce fee, and only os. as subscription the first year, after which they will pay the annual sub scription of £l, the same as the other members of the corps. This, then, i s a proof that where the expenses of an existing corps are moderate, indus trious artisans can afford to join it ; hut, unfortu nately, the cost of the uniforms of most of our metropolitan corps is beyond the means of working men, and this it is which at first sight appears to g i ve grounds for the formation of special artisan c orps. There arc, how e ys r two or three ways by raj,* be avoided : w hi c h this difficulty 1. By existing corps adopting a cheap, comfort able working dress, w hi c h should be the uniform of the corps, and the cost of which should be under £3, and therefore within th e means of the working men, while at the same time there might be a more orna mental and expensi ve d ress, which any member of the corps might or his taste and fancy, but in might not get, according to which he would never appear on parade. 2. By having artisan colupanies attached to exist ing corps, whose dress, though the same in colour and general appearance, might be less ornamental and expensive ; and this is, I believe, the system• which prevails in Scotland. 3. By establishing a corps confined to no class or district, but the expenses of which would be limited —say to £3, so as to enabl e artisans to join, and a corps of this description is .. , I believe, at the present mo ment being formed under the title of the Metro politan Rifles. Any of these plans would be pre ferable to the formation of, a class corps. Economy is, indeed, the soul of extravagance the Volunteer force, while is, I fear, the rock on which it is likely to split, and we cannot calculate with any degree of certainty upon the permanent amount of our force until we see what number pay for a second uniform. The expenses of some corps are enor mous, £4OO or .£5OO being expended on their bands, and in many instances the uniforms and outfits are needlessly extravagant. Now., bands ought to be viewed as luxuries, and Paid for, as is is done in some cases, not out of the funds of the corps, but by a special subscription , and it has been already shown that a Volunteer can be neatly, comfort ably, and effectively equipped for £3 3s. I am confident that no greater service could be done to the Volunteer force at the present moment than for the Government to recommend the adoption of a cheap working dress and the practice of the strictest economy. If, 'AI addition to this, the Go vernment could be induced t o g i ve , f re e of cost, a certain fixed allowance of ammunition to each effec tive Volunteer, and if they would give a few drill sergeants to each county, there would be no occa sion for special artisan corps. All classes would then be able to mix in the same ranks, and a brotherhood in arms would be established such as would secure our country against all dangers, whe ther from without or within. ' There is only one other point in connection witlf,this subject to which I would allude —viz., t hat I believe there exists among the artisan class a proper feeling of inde pendence which would deter them from joining any corps which proposes to create an eleemosynary fund for the purchase of their uniforms ; for, to use their own expression, they do not like to be thus " patronised." .The steam-frigate Veloce, at the beginning of the engagement, placed herself before the western shore, in ' order to support the enemy's left flank. She landed also some men and ammunition. The ordershasing been renewed, and the instruc tions previously given for the attach, Colonel del Bosco visited all the positidns, and: went personally to direct the operations at the Mill-bridge, where the thick of the fight was raging. He had with him Captains Fonseca, of the artillery, and Pur mann, the battery-commandant. The colonel had kept as a reserve a part of the 9th Chasseurs; but, unfortunately, this detachment was employed, with little foresight, by Lieutenant-Colonel Marra, com manding the Ist Chasseurs, the result of which was, that Colonel del Bosco was unable to use them after the cavalry charge ordered by - him to recapture a gun, and he could not meet in this place with the famous Garibaldi. Our right wing was attacked in an insignificant manner at the commencement, but it subsequently decided on retreating because Veloce had recourse to grape. Our men were arranged in open order with slight supports, partly from the broken nature of the ground, partly from the small number of combatants displayed in front. The scene of the combat was in the plain, at the distance of a mile (more or less) from Melazze. After a brisk fire of musketry for two hours, the artillery of the centre, placed in the Fiumara, opened fire together with that of the left wing at the post of the Mills. It was a bloody contest; the chas• seurs and artillerymen displayed the most signal valour in this affair ; all fought with enthusiasm and resolution. It was surprising to see several chasseurs, whose pieces would not go off, attacking with the bayonet as soon ,as the order was given them by Colonel del Bosco, to whom they had come up to show' him the serious inconvenience in ques tion is to be observed that in the small number of . men forming the column of operations , there were hardly more than a thousand to fight against numerous forces. The rest were employed as outposts along the cape for protecting the rear, and as a post at Melazzo for guarding the gates MesOna and Palermo, for securing and protecting the retreat; besides three half-companies placed between the Unnazzo-house and San Giovanni, the first of which alone fired a few volleys. The removal of the wounded, who were gradu ally picked up, deprived us of several men. With four stretchers only, and eight soldiers of reserve as bearers, not much could be done. The officer in command of the column, therefore, ordered a hundred men from the Ist of the lire, on duty as garrison in the fort, to be brought out without arms and employed exclusively in carrying off the wounded to the ambulances. A small body of cavalry, the only one disposable on the consular way, made a brilliant charge at the crossway leading to the Mills, and it was just at the moment when the artillerymen abandoned to the enemy the only howitzer we lost, whereas it has been repeatedly asserted, with rare impudence, by one of Garibaldi's partisans, that five pieces were taken from us. The brave Captain Giuliani, who led on the squadron, fell struck with a projective, and not by a sabre cut. With him fell also seven other horse chasseurs. Lieutenant Faraone, who was also following the captain, received seven wounds, all caused by bullets. All, therefore, is false that they have the audacity to say about Garibaldi's having met an attack with cold steel. The combat lasted eight hours and a half, with out once compelling us to quit our positions, not withstanding the enemy's greatest efforts and his fresh masses succeeding each other, striving to break our centre, to prevent us from rallying and falling back upon Melazzo, the basis of our opera tion : Nevertheless, however great the valour of our chasseurs, their long combat against masses con tinually replaced at short intervals, and on our side the want of troops to relieve the already fatigued troops, decided Colonel Del Bosco on gradually ceding the ground, and on taking up in Melazzo the positions already established. In the meantime the Veloce frigate, which all the day had kept in a line with the enemy's left flank, had no sooner observed our retreat than she ad vanced towards the San-Papino esplanade, and, firing grape, forced the column to re-enter the fort from which Colonel Pironti, the commandant ordered some 24-pounders to be fired at the steamer, so as to facilitate the movement of the troops. The enemy still hesitated about entering the spot, completely abandoned by the inhabitants. He gave us time, therefore, to transport with very feeble means our 87 wounded, not counting those of the enemy, who were most kindly picked up by us. Through want of foresight on the part of Major Maringhi three doctors of the ambulance, from not having been warned in time, remained prisoners. Our loss consisted of two officers killed and eight wounded, besides 38 private soldiers killed and 83 wounded. The number of the missing amounts to 31 only, amongst whom we comprise the dead and wounded left on the field of battle. From the statement of the prisoners and under officers who deserted during the truce, the enemy has had 1,100 men put hors do combat, and among the dead he deplores a large number of officers. The fact has been confirmed by the Piedmontese Consul to the Governor at Messina, whence they a number of vehicles and doctors be longing to the neighbourhood. Lastly, Garibaldi himself said to M. Salvy, com manding the Protis, that he had lost more than 800 men, and that he did not command more than 8,000, whereas every one, prisoners and all, agree in de claring that we were attacked by about 12,000 men. One incomprehensible fact is the timid entrance of the enemy into the country. They fired without necessity with their rifles, from the tops of the pro montories encircling the fort, nor would they have ceased firing but for our tranquil silence. The Cavaliere Selvy, Captain of the Protis, paid a visit to Colonel Del Bosco on the morning of the 23d, in the fort ; and after different topics under took to tell him, in the name of Garibaldi, that they offered him the option of withdrawing with his i officers to Naples, all with their swords, leaying The object of this Company is to purchase from Mr. Simp son, the present well-known and successful proprietor—who retires, having realised an ample fortune from the profits of this undertaking,—the Lease, Goodwill, and Plant of these head-quarters of suburban recreation and enjoyment. . Approval of the amusements has been indicated in the highest quarters. The Floral Fetes have been honoured by the visits of her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and numerous members of the Royal Family ; and the grounds have become the habitual resort of fashionable society. The Cremorne property is held at the nominal . ground rent of £63 per annum, the Ashburnham portion included, for an unexpired term of nearly thirty-three years. As evidence of the confidence entertained in the success of the proposed Company, nearly one-half of the capital has been already subscribed. Mr.' Simpson becomes one of the largest shareholders in the undertaking, and will ac cept a seat in the Direction immediately after the for mation of the Company, thus affording the - Board the benefit of his co-operation in the management. Arrangements have also been made for the retention of the services of his efficient and well-organised staff, thus ensuring the carrect and eco nomical working of the business. Successful as has been the experience of the last nine years it is evident that the profit resources of the establishment have never yet approached their 'development ; indeed, they are rather in an initiate than a matured stage. Mr. Simpson has long thoroughly appreciated the capabilities of the place, and its requirements ; but until recently he held the property at a very large rental, for a limited term only, and was there fore deterred from incurring the expenditure necessary to afford the increased accommodation required. It is now pro posed to remodel the hotel and tavern department ; whilst the extensive area, including the large additional ground recently added from the Ashburnh am property, afford facilities for introducing many novel and attractive features, which must of necessity largely enhance the revenue, and will doubtless render a winter season no less profitable than that of the summer; to add a first-class dining saloons, and a tier of smaller rooms, for the accommodation of private dinner parties ; and to afford, in addition to the amusements of Cremorne, all the attractions hitherto rendered only by the first-class establishments of Greenwich, Blackwall, and Rich mond. 'During the present season, at an outlay of between £3,000 and £4,000, two additional features of importance have been added : the Stereorama and the Fernery. In the Ashburn ham Grounds there is a noble Pavilion capable of dining from three to four thousand persons, which can at any time be adapted for the purposes of a private Ball Room, Fancy Fairs, Charitable Fetes, &c. Br,c. As an evidence of the accom modation afforded for the latter purposes, it may be mentioned that, on several occasions, upwards of three thousand persons have dined in it ; whilst some idea of the profits of these Gardens may be gained from the fact, that on the occasion of the Fete in aid of the Wellington College, after payment of all expenses, Mr. Simpson paid over to the Trustees of the Charity, as the proceeds of the night's entertainment, £1,200 ; and on the occasion of the Aristocratic Fete a profit of £l,lOO was realised, and presented to public charities. 'The capital called is ample for the requirements of the business. The purchase-money for the lease, plant, and goodwill, will not exceed two-thirds of the amount. The contemplated additions and alterations will be carried out upon principles of the strictest economy, and will not, it is anticipated, employ more than half the capital remaining after the completion of the purchase. Since the year 1850, the income has gone on steadily and rapidly increasing. The books of the establishment have been strictly kept, and have been examined, and the accounts ,audited by Mr. Scrivener, the public accountant : and the average profits of the last five years show that an income equal to a dividend of 20 per cent. upon the capital employed may be confidently anticipated, and that these profits, by a small judicious outlay, are capable of being greatly increased. It is also proposed that every holder of not less than twenty shares sh 01 be entitled to a free admission for himself and friend, subject, however, to such conditions as may be deter mined upon by the direction. It must beborne in mind that' this is no new or speculative undertaking, the experimental period, so often fatal to new enterprises of the most promising kind, having, in the case of these Gardens, long since passed by ; while, by the experience and industry of Mr. Simpson, a system of check has been perfected, which precludes not only losses by frauds, but reduces the expenses of the concern to the minimum, in sures the regularity of the working, and places the estimate of profits, as above' put forward by the Board, among the most reliable ever submitted to the public.

The prisoner, Edmund John, who is in custody upon his own accusation, upon the charge of mur dering the child, Francis Saville Kent, at Road, on the 29th of June last, and who was remanded on Monday last, was to-day again brought up, at the Trowbridge Police-court, before H. G. G. Ludlow and W. Stancombe, Esqs., magistrates for the county of Wilts. The court was again crowded, although the public must have become quite convinced that the fellow could have had no hand in the dreadful tragedy. The general feeling, indeed, now seems to be, that he is deserving of severe punishment, as a fool, who has thrust himself into a positiort notoriety from which he now heartily wishes to escape. Shortly after his remand on Monday the pri soner, who, it will be remembered, refused to give his name to the magistrates, stated to the police man in charge, that his name was Edmund John Gagg, and also wrote the following statement :-- "On Thursday the 28th and 29th June, i was at the George and Draggon i well not be sure which the name is when i went there on the Thursday being some sort of a Grand day as all the shops in Portsmouth was shut up i asked the Land laddy how much the Lodging was and she said I crown a wak with washing and i asked her to Let me have a Lodging as i thought i was a going to work for Mr. Clarke and the young men that i slept with took me doun to Cumber Lane Fort on Friday morning and i did not get on but on Friday evening the person that Lodged up stairs dressed my boil, for she put some soap and sugar on it, and on saturday morning I went off withowt paying my Lodgings as I did not get work. "it is in front of a brick field and the side of a sawyer's pit i think in the pratten road. " Portsea or Portsmouth and on Saturday the 30th jine 31st i Lodged at crown and anchor in Godalmin and he old me to go to Mr. Moon on Monday morning. "EDMUND JOHN GAOG." The prisoner, on being placed in the dock to-day, appeared perfectly sane, though he was evidently anxious that such steps should be taken as would relieve him from the charge of assassination. Mr. Kent arrived in Trowbridge in the course of the morning, but did not attend the examination. His solicitor, Mr. Dunn, of Frome, was, however ; present, and took notes of the proceedings. Mr. Clark (clerk to the magistrates), addressing the prisoner, said—Edmund John Gagg, since the last examination you have given that name. Is that your correct name ? Prisoner—Quite correct, sir. Mr. Clark—You were remanded on the last occa sion for the purpose of enabling you to obtain evi dence that you were at Portsmouth on the 28th and 29th June. Have you any one here to-day to speak to your having been there Prisoner—l have not had the opportunity of get ting any one. Mr. Ludlow—You were remanded upon your own statement, that you were at Portsmouth on the 28th and 29th June, and you were told that you were at liberty to send to any one who could confirm that statement. Prisoner—l have not sent • but it any one had sent to the places I named, they would have found that my statement was true. Mr. Ludlow—lf you have not obtained evidence we must remand you again. It is essential to the ends of justice that your statement should be.proved to be true or false. Prisoner—l can write, but I have no means of bringing witnesses here. Mr. Superintendent Foley--If the Bench will grant us another week's remand we shall be able, no doubt, to produce the necessary evidence. Mr. Ludlow—Very well. Then, prisoner, you are remanded till this day week. Prisoner—Thank you, gentlemen. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. It is scarcely necessary to say that the local police never entertained the belief that the pri soner was the murderer ; but it is right to state that the assertion which has gained publicity, that Superintendent Foley and Inspector Woolff have obtained a clue which is likely to lead to the solu tion of the mystery which surrounds this murder, is utterly without foundation. Those officers are still actively engaged in the inquiry ; and would be only too happy if this hap-hazard statement were • true. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.--- Curableness of Disease.—All ailments where 'organic changes have not arisen are, with few exceptions, under the control of medicine, and consequently curab them . is the The right means and proper tim e of employing greatest difficulty to be sur mounted in opposing illness. Professor Holloway, by the discovery of his purifying and healing medicaments, has removed this obstacle and placed within the reach of all remedies capable of preventing, arresting, and curing all bodily maladies, whether arising from internal or ex ternal causes, climate, or the thousand things productive of disease. The invalid may be cured, th oug h science pronounce him " incurable." The Eastern Question has returned at a consi -i-erabk4ss interval than most of our periodical • difficulties. At the close of the Russian war the worst we could anticipate was a lingering remain der of unsettled scores, some quibbling on the part of our late foe, much misrule and insolvency on the part of our Eastern ally, and the Government of the Danubian Provinces so arrange.dasto cl,p nobody too much good. But the sick man was thonght to have a new lease of his life, and we allsbegan Oo put ourselves in the position of; ,Lord Eldon, who at last excused himself from giving advice on the subject of Turkey, because he had assisted at five successive salvations of that 'Empire, each time with a worse result. The youngest of us has now seen the salvations of that Empire, each time with a worse result. The' youngest of us has now seen the salvation of Turkey once, and the necessity of a second salvation is already imminent. Yes, Lord Stratford and his Eastern correspondents assure us that something very energetic must be done, the most stringent measures compatible with the law of nations must be had recourse to, or that country will perish. * 'Few people have had more practice in the precise use' of language than this prince of diplomatists, and it is impossible to suppose that he could be blind to the natural force of these terms. What is a " country ?" What is it to " perish ?" What is the consummation we are once more in vited to avert by terrible sacrifices ? Are we all paralyzed with terror lest that fair creation of con quest and diplomacy, the dominion of the Sultan, should vanish away among those things which the poets tell us, and memory tells us too, are the fairest and the fleetest ? • Lord' Stafford himself is true to the traditions of office. It is natural in him to wish to preserve the Turkish Empire, for should it fall the favourite work of his life would be undone. But we must frankly' own that we feel somewhat more free to act like men and Christians now than we could do five years - ago. That ill-starred war, those half-million of British, French, and Russian men left in the Crimea, those two hundred millions of money wasted in the worst of all ways, have dis charged to the. last iota, all "the debt of Christian Europe to'Turkey. Grant that, having for many generations patronised- her, assisted her, advised her, and taken her into our confidence, we were bound to stand by her in the hour of her adversity, we then did our very utmost' for her, and are quits. Never was so great an effort made for so worthless an object, but it was made and is done. When the fighting was over we fought hard in the Council for her ; we gave her money, for we guaranteed her debt ; we advised, we pressed reforms, we urged the employment of the good men to be found even in Turkey.. All is over. In th course of five years Turkey has forgotten every warning, and exhibits herself at this moment as the worst governed country in the world, with the exception of China and the kingdom of Dahomey. We might now just as well hold conferences, pre pare armaments, and vote millions to preserve on his throne the man who selebrates the death of his father by digging a deep trench and filling it with. the blood of some thousand human sacrifices, as for the maintenance of the Empire of Turkey. It is with no small reluctance that we admit a gigantic effort and an infinite sacrifice to have been made in vain ; but, at any rate, we are now free. Lord Stratford had hoped that the Convention just made for the punishment of the Syrian atro cities would have given Turkey the option of her self repressing disorder and re-establishing peace by the means at her own command. This done, he is then for urging, and, indeed, compelling, upon Tur key the most vigorous and thorough reforms. But the atrocities have for the present ceased by their own triumph. The conspiracy of barbarous tribes and Moslem fanatics, having massacred 6,000 Chris tians, reduced 70,000 to beggary, and destroyed 150 towns and villages, including the whole Christian quarter of Damascus—itself a city—has extorted. from the miserable survivors a treaty, on the terms of oblivion for the past and no restoration of plunder. What is there to be done that Turkey could do if she would, or would do if she could ? Urging re forms to Turkey and compelling an honest and efficient Administration, and all that sort of thing, has become a platitude. It is simply howling to the tempest or baying at the moon. It is pain fully transparent and evident throughout all the intelligence from Syria that the Turkish authori ties played into the hands of the Druses and the murderous wretches allured from the Desert on one side, and the town population on the other. The Turkish Governors and Commanders duped the Christians out of their arms, corresponded with the Druses, allowed them to enter cities and forts, and sent their own forces out of the way, or per mitted them to join the murderers and to share the spoil. For weeks and weeks they were warned and entreated, but did either nothing or worse. The massacre of Damascus, the closing scene of this iniquity, is the most dreadful deed that has been done in the civilised world for centuries, and. the authorities, with the fullest notice and abun dant means, took no step to prevent it, and let the soldiers assist. There and everywhere else, scarce the thinnest veil of decency was thrown over the connivance and co-operation of the Turks. One man, who had himself massacred 400 Christians left in his care, was rewarded by the Turkish Go vernment with a post where he could repeat that service. What, then, is the Turkish Government now doing to clear itself from a crime which it finds is too great even for the toleration of Europe ? It may possibly attempt to satisfy us with illusory executions ; but the arch offender, the man who is deepest in the villany—Kurschid Pasha, when last heard of, was on his way to Constantinople rather as a triumphant hero than as a criminal. The present state of things is one of the utmost encouragement to the Moslem fanatics, and of ter ror to the Christians. No one there suspects the Turkish Government of any wish to punish the of fenders. Outbreaks are expected, not only in the country about Smyrna, at Aleppo, Jerusalem, and all Syria, but at Constantinople itself. Everywhere there is the same story. Old insults and invidious distinctions are revived, and even enforced by au thority, contrary to the laws of toleration. It has somehow come to be believed that this is the only way to keep up that barbaric creed. The experi ence of this century has established that, with peace and industry, with arts and manufactures, the Moslem must diminish and fail, and the Chris tian take his place. Smyrna, and even Constan tinople, are being fast Christianised ; so it is neces sary once more to resort to persecution. If we are to do anything at all, unless we would. go much further, the most natural course before us lies midway between the examples of Greece and Egypt. What is wanted in Syria is a Government strong enough to deal with the barbarous tribes of the Mountain and the Desert, and to contend with the fanaticism which may there be said to belong to the soil. It must now strike everybody that had we allowed Mehemet Ali to govern Syria we should not have had these horrors. There is no need, how ever, to undo our work in that matter, small reason as wohave to congratulate ourselves upon it. But all attempts to govern Syria through the Porte, and to protect Christians there against their numerous foes, by urging upon the Sultan the selection of good men, must be illusory. It is the system of the Turkish Administration for men to buy office, and to reimburse themselves by selling everything sale able, from subordinate Governments to judicial sentences, from contracts to human lives. It is the unchangeable system of an unchangeable Govern ment, dealing with unchangeable races, for nothing strikes one so much as the old familiar type of these modern horrors, even that almost incredible crime, the Massacre of the Innocents, having been now re-enacted in a dozen towns of Syria. Everything is there done as it was done two thousand years ago. If it is necessary to preserve the tradition. of Turkish suzerainty in Syria, it must no longer be by profligate politicians sent from Constantinople to sack two or three years' spoils of office and give place to others as needy and unscrupulous, but by permanent Viceroys. The European Powers, if they are serious and disinterested i n their zeal for religion and humanity, will compel upon the Sultan the concession of a Government in Syria as much like that of Egypt as circumstances will allow. , It m ay contribute as much to the revenue, the strengt h s and the duration of the Turkish Empire as the pre sent pretence of Syrian Government. The law or nations, which comprehends the great intereBts °f humanity, permits and commands an interfereeme for this purpose, and the sooner it is explained that we mean to go thus far and no further; the better for the peace of Syria, of Turkey, and o.l Eur ope' Times. _ POST -OFFICE — ..:1011 the Ist October an act of Parliament will cop e NEW AciT;to operation with respect to the officers and men to receive of the d' todrates o f . _ f ree - free their re-directed let t ers employed in her Majesty's service. the army and navy enabling postage whilst actually i a powered by warrant to direct the pri vatee delivered free of the foreign postage The Treasuryletters chargeable in respect of re-direction.
