Any charge incurred in England on account of stamps must be borne by the holders of the promissory notes, and must be paid at the India House on application for-drafts. "12. Enfaced notes will be received at the East India House, for renewal or consolidation or sub-division, and will be sent out thence to Calcutta, a receipt being given to the holder of the notes. The new notes when received from India will not be delivered except upon the production of the receipt, and payment of a fee of two shillings for each new note, and the amount of postage levied on the notes in transmission to and from India.

BY SAMUEL LAIIERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and prernaturL decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known ` to modern pathologists. Itsperusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there arc principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and wh:n wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self- Indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional ilerangenient to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Minutes of Consultation transmitted by the Government of 31adras, on the loth May, 1858, to the late Court of Directors of the East India Company : The Government express their unanimous, strong, and earnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com prehensive view of the wants of the country, may be deemed necessary to deveop Its undoubtedly great resources, be commenced at once boldly and on a large scale, be pressed forward throughout all times and under all circumstances, and be looked on, and be praCtically treated, as in fact they really are, as the most economical, because- tiro most pro fitable, undertakings in which the,Government could pos sibly engage. It is needless now again to bring forward the innumerable instances in which money has in the Pre sidency been most advantageously invested- in irrigation works. The proceedings of Government have, in this re spect, been only ,too desultory and vacillating, and it is confidently asserted that India could be placed in position to pay all her own expenses, and gradually dis charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc tion.

THE REPRIEVED CONVICT WILHELM The Liverpool Mercury gives the following par ticulars respecting the respite and past history of Wilhelm, who was recently condemned to suffer capital punishment for causing the death of a young woman at Manchester. On Thursday, Mr. Walpole, the Home Secre tary, would receive two memorials, bearing the sig natures of some of the leading foreign commercial firms of Manchester and Liverpool. The most im portant memorial was that from Manchester, to which 40 signatures were attached. The principal points urged in favour of Wilhelm in both memo rials were the facts that he - did net design or in tend to take the deceased's life, and that it was the young woman who came to him, and not he who went to her. These memorials were despatched from Manchester and Liverpool on Wednesday evening, and would be received by the Home Se cretary during Thursday. The most sanguine hopefulness must have despaired if nothing had been heard yesterday morning, and it may therefore be supposed that Wilhelm's anxiety verged on despair. When the fact that he was respited was communicated to • him he was over whelmed with gratitude, and fell upon his knees, earnestly reiterating his thanks, not for man's in tercession only, but first and chiefly for the merci ful interposition of the Supreme Being to save him from his impending fate. Afterwards he was con siderably revived in spirits, and he was cheerful, compared with what he had been for some days, when. he was again visited by his wife, who had been permitted to see him every other day. In the fact of the acquittal of Stadtmuller as an approver, in order that he might give evidence, without which a conviction might have been im possible, there is sufficient to account for a change of feeling on the part of Wilhelm towards his once fellow-prisoner, and this must be rem e mbered in considering what Wilhelm has said since the trial. He has given a narrative of the circumstances of the fatal operation at variance with the evidence and denying his own presence in the rooms until all the injury had been done, and particularly that he used his hand violently in the manner described. Wilhelm, who is 29 years of age, is a native of the Duchy of Bernberg, in Germany. A memo randum before us—in his own handwriting, which is distinct, egible, bold, and very good for a Ger man—informs us that he was born on the sth of April 1829, and that he was married on the 23rd September 1853, at the parish church of Halifax, in Yorkshire. One capable of judging, and quali fied to speak, considers he is not a man of at all penetrating abilities, and that he is dull of intellect rather than shrewd or sharp. Whilst he was very young he lost his father, and his mother was very unkind to him. It was intended to make a mer chant of him; then that intention was changed, and he was apprenticed to an apothecary, with whom he learned his business. In order to avoid military service, he came to this country from Ham burg, about eight years ago, and he first settled in Leeds, where he made a scanty livelihood by teach ing the German language. He next, moved to Halifax, and commenced practice as a surgeon in Northgate. His first trouble occurred in the sum mer of 1853, when he was committed to the assizes at York,*on a charge somewhat similar to, but not so serious as, the present, and on which he was ac quitted. After the acquittal he returned to Halifax, and resumed his surgical practice, his surgery being in Northbridge ; and from the date already given it will be seen that in about two months he married a young woman with whom he had become inti mate in Halifax. She was the daughter of respec table parents, and Wilhelm's position and prospects, were those of a rising surgeon. He also epened a chemist's shop, and combined with his practice the business of chemist and druggist. In a little more than a year after his marriage a second misfortune occurred to him. Two days before Christmas-day there happened a fire, by which his shop and premises were burned down. He suc ceeded, however, in re-establishing himself in busi ness, but soon afterwards he was again reduced to ruin by the consequences of a disastrous flood, which occurred in July of the year following the fire. He struggled, but in vain, to retrieve himself from the effects of the disaster produced by the inundation. His professional status having perhaps been shaken by the trial at the assizes, he found himself unable to redeem his reputation and credit sufficiently to conduce to success in business; and after being a second time confined in York astle, as a debtor, he removed to Manchester three years ago. By economy and industry ho succeeded pretty well in Manchester, and soon commenced business again as a chemist. At the end of the first year he found himself pretty well off, and still better at the end of the second. His account of his introduction to his assistant, the approver Carl Stadtmulle:, is that Stadtmuller applied to him, as a fellow-countryman without means, for assistance. Wilhelm was not then in actual need of an assistant or partner; but as Stadtmuller had received a medical education and a degree in Germany, it occurred to Wilhelm that it would be a.stioke of policy to secure the services of Stadtmuller, and so combine, in business, the practice of medicine and surgery with the sale of drugs. Stadtmuller had been three days with Wilhelm when the operation was performed which proved fatal to the seduced young woman, who had been a patient of Wilhelm's for some months pre viously. Wilhelm's wife and child are reduced to .destitu tion. On coming to Liverpool, after the trial, in order to visit her husband on alternate days, she found a temporary home at th e h ouse of Mr. Thomas Southern, the Black Bull Inn, Kirkdale, whose charitable hospitality deserves commenda tion. He will consider himself rewarded if others also bestow • some pity on the helpless woman, who, we may state, denies the participation in the fatal deed imputed to her, and declares that she did not place her hand upon , the young woman's mouth. Her marriage with Wilhelm cause her to be discarded by her friends, and she is now helpless, with a fine boy, aged 31 years, on her hands, and the prospect of another child in a few weeks. However, although disheartened enough by her present position, she is very much relieved by the respite of her husband, who, she says, has always been a good and kind husband to her, and in that respect quite undeserving of the unrelenting - conduct of her friends. When we saw her yesterday, she was busily employed with re footing a knitted stocking, and wore at her bosom a large brooch 'containing a likeness of her husband, who is spoken of by those who have had to deal . with him at the gaol as a person of gentlemanly deportment. • THE MYSTRRIO US TRAGEDY IN EPPING FOREST. Extraordinary to say, considering the publicity that has already been giv en to the circumstances attending the murder of the young-` emale- and her child, and the disposal bf their lifeless bodies in a pond in Epping Forest, the shocking affair still remains enveloped in the most impenetrable mystery. Since the inquest the police have been unceasing in endeavouring to obtain the identity of the deceased. A number of parties have come forward in the hope of recognising the bodies, but unsuccessfully. The bodies having been kept above ground for several weeks for the purpose of identification,have at length had to be interred, but at the same time a very exact description has been registered both of the deceased's remains and their clothes. The description which, by being made more public may lead to identification, is as follows : Found, on Sunday the sth inst. (December), in a pond adjoining the New-road, Epping Forest, a woman and male child. The woman about 23 or 25 years of age ; about 5 feet 1 inch high; dark com plexion, hair nearly black ; stout built, full breast ; had on a dark striped lilac cotton gown, with frill sleeves • white straw bonnet, trimm e d w ith bl ue and white ribbon ; dark wove stays ; slate-coloured Coburg petticoat, with white satin striped flannel petticoat, brown Derry ditto, pair of white cotton stockings, kid boots, black scarf shawl, with deep coloured border. The child aged about four months ' • dressed in a white print frock, with lilac spots ; white cashmere hood, trimmed with gimp and white satin ribbon, lawn cap and lace border; flannel petticoat with, white stays, white petticoat, and white pinafore , red and white worsted shoes ; a small shawl, made out of the border of a lama shawl ; girl's small silk mantle, with silk braid and deep fringe. - Near the pond was found a cotton bag, contain ing cotton stockings, hair-brwl alit.d comb, new tooth-brush, piece of soap, and two crochet night caps. There is a strong suspicion that the deceased were murdered in London, and then taken down in a cart, and thrown into the pond. DESPERATE AFFRAY AT MAN . - ' CIIEST.E.R. In the early part of last week a violent attack was made upon several members of an Irish family, chiefly by persons who were distantly related to them. An old man, John Dirkin, upwards of 70 years of age, lived in a cellar in Brighton-street, Red Bank; and in the same street, in different dwellings, there live his son, M'Cormick Dirkin, his son-in-law, and two married daughters, named Sarah M'Donnough and Mary Casey. On Tues day last four persons, by marriage related to the abOve, and named Nathaniel M'Donnough, Frank M‘Donnough,JohnM‘Donnough,brothers,with their sister, Sarah M'Donnough, living in Ashley-street, off Angel-street, Manchester, were joined by three or four - bthers whom they knew, from Liverpool, and the party appear to have deliberately planned an attack upon the old man Dirkin and his sons and daughters. At three o'clock, p.m., of the day named John M'Donnough went to old Dirkin's cellar, to inquire where his sons and daughters were. Mrs. Dirkin, an infirm old woman, who had no suspicion of the object of the inquiry, told them they were at their work, and would return at six or seven o'clock in the evening. He repeated the inquiry several times during the afternoon; then between six and seven mustered with his associates in the street, and began to make a disturbance. The old man, Dirkin, left his cellar in order to go into the house of his daughter Sarah, to make a fire, when he was immediately set upon in the most brutal manner, knocked down, beaten, and ki c k e d t o suc h an ex tent that on Saturday morning last, when the sub ject came before the magistrates (some of the assailants being captured), he was not expected to survive many hours. Besides other injuries he had received, several ribs were broken. The screams of the old man brought the people into the streets, and as soon as his children came to his help they also were attacked with life-preservers and other weapons, and severely injured in various ways, being both bruised and cut. The old,man was taken into his cellar, and has been since attended by Mr. Measham, surgeon. Sarah M'Donnough had to have her wounds dressed at the Infirmary ; the husband of Dirkin's daughter, Mary Casey, was so much beaten on the head that his face was covered with blood. The assailants escaped at the time, some of them to Liverpool, and the rest otherwise concealing themselves ; but on Friday night Sergeant Charles Wilson apprehended Frank M'Donnough, in St. Michael's-place ; and shortly afterwards, in their house in Ashley-street, Nathan and Sarah M'Donnough. The prisoners were placed in the dock at the City Police Court on Saturday. Patrick Dirkin stated that he was a hawker. On night, when comi ng h ome f rom h aw ki ng , Tuesday he was met in the street by a man who shook him by the hand, and asked him if he would have a glass of ale ? He replied that he would not ; upon which the man asked him if he would fight. He replied that he was not a fighting man, u p on w hi c h he was immediately struck on the head with some weapon, and knocked down. While this was being done he saw others of the party beating his father in-law. M'Cormick Dirkin said he heard a disturbance, and coming out of his house, saw the prisoners (with others not then in custody) beating his father. Witness went up and asked what they were doing that for, when he was knocked down himself, and ill-used. Mary Casey said she was returning home from her work, at nearly eight o'clock, when she was met by a girl, who said, " Your father is killed by a great party." Witness set off towards her father's cellar, when the prisoner, Frank M'Donnough, pulled a life-preserver out of pocket, and knocked her down with it. Several of the party kicked her. She saw them beating her father, and called out, "Nathan, don't kill my father." After that they jostled him away, and she could not see what they did to him. Sarah M'Donnough (married to a man of this name, not in custody at the time) was coming from her work, and went to her father's for her children. She saw some of the party strike her father, whom they had in the street, and immediately she was struck on the head, and cut, with a candlestick, by a woman named Ellen Higgins. She was then struck several times by John 111‘Donnough, who lives in Liverpool. He said to her, " I never will leave you till I am your end." Her hands were savagely bitten, and her face bruised. On tliis evidence being given, Mr. Maude said the prisoners had better reserve what they had to s ay until Tuesday (this day), for should the man most injured (John Dirkin) die, they might have to answer to a charge of wilful murder. The prisoners were accordingly remanded to Tuesday. After - thc examination, Mr. Superintendent Leary despatched an officer with one of the witnesses to Liverpool, and yesterday he returned with two other of the assailants, namely, John M'Donnough, living in Cavendish-street, Liverpool; and Dennis Dailey, who lived in Edgar -street. On inquiry between 8 and 9. o'clock last night, the old man Dirkin was reported by the surgeon to be sinking fast, and no hope was entertained of his recovery. The two persons apprehended in Liverpool yester day will be brought before the magistrates this morning, and probably be remanded to Tuesday, when the others in custody are to be again placed in the do 3 k.—Manchester .Examiner. Letters from the screw steamship Caesar, 91, Capt. Charles Frederick, dated Port Royal, Monday, Dec. 6, have been received in Plymouth. While on the passage from England, Sunday, Oct. 21, the hands were called to shorten sail, and a seaman fell over board, but was soon picked up by the boats, which were manned and lowered with much activity. He was brought back to the ship, where every exertion was made by the surgeons, but animation could not be restored. On Wednesday, N0v..22, at 11 at night, there was a general " call to quarters," and a great crash of artillery. One poor fellow, Burrows, of Milton Abbott, near Tavistock, had his right hand shot off accidentally, and another lost his left hand. The maimed 'arms of both were am putated immediately. On the 6th of December " all were in bustling confusion preparing to start," as the Caesar had received orders to sail the next day from Port Royal for Greytown -on-the-main.

Wright; the Garrison_ Staff-Surgeon Dr. Moore ; Captain George Henry Seymo u r, o f the Victory flagship ; Commander George Gardener, of the steam reserve, &e. After the inspection, Commander Secconibe and First Lieutenant Versturme were highly com plimented on the excellent arrangements and ~ac 7, commodation offered for the comfort of the troops about to embark.. The detachments embark to-day, and the ship will sail for Queenstown on Wednes day to embark others for Gibraltar and Malta. Her Majesty's troopship Perseverance, Comman der Edward It. Power, will not be out of the engiL, neer's hands, at Portsmouth, until about the middle of February. Many of the officers and crew have been granted leaVe of absence. Her Majesty's ship Shannon, 51, screw, Captain Francis Marten, :which is moored alongside the Camperdown hulk-at Portsmouth, will be paid off in the course of a few days at that port. The crew are in receipt of a large Amount of prize money. We are requested to state, in reference to the ac count of the arrival of the Shannon at Portsmouth which appeared in The . Sun of the .30th ult., that the name of the surgeon is not IPLenny, but M'Swiney, that he had not the honour of officiating on the staff of Lord Elgin, but he served as sur geon of the Furious from the time of her departure from England with the gunboat squadron until after the treaty had been signed at Tien-tsin, wh en the Commander-in-Chief was pleased to appoint him to the. Shannon, where his services were re quired. Dr. M. -K. Saunders, late of the Shannon, is Lord Elgin's medical attendant. The merchant vessel Bloomer, Capt. Smith, from London for.Kuxrachee, has been placed alongside the Dryad hulk at Portsmouth, and her repairs are being executed by Mr. Robinson, shipbuilder, of Gosport. • - • • , - In consequence of the outstanding orders for the Artillery equipment required for the troops serving - in India having been completed, 175 labourers and .30 artisans temporarily employed in Woolwich Arsenal have received notice that their services will not be required after the 15th inst. The following letter-was yesterday received at the dockyard, Woolwich, from the chief engineer of the steamship Prince Alfred, relative to the working of the Admiralty apparatus fitted on board that vessel for superheating the whole of the steam required for working the machinery : " Cape of Good Hope, Nov. 9. " Dear Sir,—l am glad to inform you that your patent apparatus has given me great satisfaction, and I have had no trouble in the tropics with the temperature of the steam. There have not been more' than 10 degrees difference since we left Mil ford, which happened when the tubes were nearly full of soot. We had them swept, and the steam came to the old mark on the gauge—namely, 330 degrees, which is about the mean temperature. The highest, temperature we have ever had is 350 deg., which occurred on the 2d of November, the ther mometer et 70 degrees. We have had the thermo- meter up to 120 degrees in the tropics, on which occasion the steam was at 325 degrees, the tubes being clean at the time. We have been 700 hours under steam and have had no trouble with the cylinders, trunks, stuffing boxes, &e.- The same stuffing that we left London with is in now, and is in good condition. We save from 25 to 30 per cent. in fuel, and as opals are very expensive in the colonies the economy is important, and I am of opinion the apparatus will take well. - - " I am, &c. " JOS. LOWES, dhief Engineer of the Steamship Prince Aired. To D. Patridge, Esq., Inspector of Steam Machinery in Woolwich Dockyard." THE ARMY. Yesterday orders were issued for. 315 non-com missioned officers and men to embark at Gravesend, on the 15th inst., on board the Ardbeg, 925 tons, Capt. R. Nicol, for Calcutta. Reinforcements are to embark for Kurrachee, at Gravesend, on the 13th inst. The total number of men who will embark for India during the present month is 485, exclusive of several hundred of the East India troops, and Sap pers and Miners. Dr. J. R. Taylor, C.])., the principal medical officer at Fort Pitt, Chatham, has been promoted to be Inspector-General of Hospitals in India. The examination fur appointments to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich by the Council of Military Education commenced yesterday at Bur lington-house, Piccadilly. The examinations will extend over 11 days, terminating on Friday the 14th inst. The Rev. Canon Moseley is the examiner. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. THE IRISH. JUDICIAL BENCH. Saunders of this morning announces, apparently on authority, that the venerable Baron rennefathcr has•at length plaged his resignation in the hands of Government. The Solicitor-Gene , al (Mr. Bayes) or Mr. Brewster, it is added, will most probably succeed to the vacancy, as it is considered certain that the Attorney-General will decline the puisne judgeship. THE ARRESTS. The Westmeath Independent of Saturday has learnt that a number of arrests had been made by the constabulary at Shannon-bridge of persons con nected with a Pheenix Club, some time established in that locality. It is further stated by the same paper that more arrests had been made at a place called Carrasbeg in the same district. The sub joined particulars in connexion with the Belfast committals are supplied by the Dublin papers of this morning : " Belfast, Saturday Evening.—The examination of the persons arrested in this town for being mem bers of an illegal society was continued in the board room of the County Prison this day by Mr. Macy, R.M., and the case has now been returned for trial at the ensuing spring assizes. The informationA against the prisoners were taken by Mr. Tracy, in the presence of the Crown solicitor for the county of Antrim, Mr. Hamilton, who was sent down specially by Government to attend the investiga tion ; and, although the utmost secresy has been generally preserved as to the nature and extent of the evidence against the prisoners, certain facts have come to my knowledge from an authentic source which your readers should be in possession of. The statements which were put forward by some of the Belfast papers, and especially by the Northern Whig on Saturday morning, con cerning the proceedings in the prison on the previous day, had, I am assured by those who ought to know most on the matter as having been concerned in it from the very first, less foun dation in fact than in imagination, and were indeed very bad guesses at the true state of the case. Up to an advanced hour this evening no one but the Government authorities knew who were the infor mers. All that bad oozed outT was, as I informed you already, that the prosecution rested, not on the evidence of one, but of two witnesses, and it was the consideration of the hopelessness of serving his clients in the then stage of the proceedings that induced Mr. Rea to refuse to appear on their behalf in the board room of the county prison. The names of the informers have now become known, and have created no little surprise and terror among the lower orders of Roman Catholics in this town. The truth of the statement, that men who are banded for an illegal purpose cannot trust their confederates in crime has been strikingly exemplified in this case, for the evidence on which the prosecution n ow mainly rests is that of two of the prisoners them selves—Hugh Carolan and John Kelly, both attor neys' clerks. I am informed further that the authorities have taken these two because of the the character greater knowledge they possess of the society, a - more of V ' Lcrates to their the informers will, of course, several important particulars but it is not intended to produce ate 4112.1 person who gave the information which in 'We! fir s t instance led to the arrests. This informatioh was precise and true, as the result proved ; but t here are certain difficulties, chiefly arising from the circumstances under which it was obtained, that prevent the author of it from being put into . the witness box. The intimate knowledge which the authorities have now obtained of the extent to which the prisoners are respectively involved is not less remarkable than the source from whi.ch it was derived. Carolan is one of the perscais whom every lodge seems to have considered it necessary to enrol among the members, be cause of the acquaintance he was suppos to possess with the law, and the best way of evadh ig it. "The goods' were, no doubt, got up under tl ie direction of such gentlemen, so that they might appear at first sight as innocent as possible ; Irst ri ve o l w . : l he im re po to rt, : t fo p u a n r d ti , cu t l h a e rs re r p es u p t e e c d ti a n u g th th .O e r though the articles of merchandise have vanished, and now informer knows their contents, and 1 Aas not only embodied them in an information, but 'aas transaction of business at meetin gs w here the other a a d n d d ed ar s e e prisoners were present, including the one so sud denly interrupted by the entrance of the pollee. The case of the informer, John Kelly, lately a clerk in the office of the Messrs. Garrett, solicitors, is an illustration of how little is required to get up a howl in certain newspapers against the Government. This is the young man on whom so much sympathy was lavished at the time of his arrest. The most pathetic descriptions were given of his being dragged, in the middle of the night of the 12th of •December, out. of his bed, while he was labouring under consumption, and lodged within the cold walls of a piison, for what his co-religionists gene rally looked upon at most as a venial offence. One rumour after another was circulated *of his rapidly declining health, and a fear was expressed that he must soon fall a martyr - fo the hard-htorted cruelty and persecution of the GoVernment Mr. Rea ap plied to have him admitted to bail, on the ground that he could not survive longer imprisonment. How Mr. Tracy must have enjoyed this ludicrous exhibition of newspaper commiseration when ho knew that, at the very moment when it was greatest, the object of it was quietly giving evi dence which may yet transport not only his brother conspirators of the Phoenix Club, but his own brsthers by birth, two of whom are among the prisoners. Very little doubt can now be enter tained of the result of a public trial, for Carolan and Kelly, the latter of whom was not present at the lodge at the time of the arrest, prove the same facts, though the great e st care has been taken that they should not have any 'communication with one another. The result of the preliminary investigation is that Hughes, a poulterer, who was arrested in his own house on the night of Sundai, the -12th of December, has been admitted to bail, to appear and take his trial at the assizes ; and that of the 15 prisoners arrested in Mrs. M‘Key's house, 14 have been returned for trial, and bail refused. Carolan, the approver, is the 15th ar rested in the lodge, and Kelly, the other approver, completes the number." FRIGHTFUL ACCIDE.ArT AT THE POLY"- TECHNIoINSTI 77C2110-1. ONE DEAD AND SIX SERIOUSLY INJURED. Last evening, one of those terrible catastrophes that become all the more melancholy in their cha racteristics owing to their occurrence at such a fes tive period as the present, happened at that popular place of amusement, the Polytechnic Institution, about 1,000 persons having been attracted to the entertainments of the evening by the new phantas magoria representations and dissolving views of Don Quixote. The audience were dispersing in a delighted mood about a quarter, to eleven o'clock, and the main body had passed safely out of the building, when the melancholy catastrophe occurred —the right hand circular staircase, which was thronged with the last portion_ of the audience, giting way, with a tremendous crash, amid a terrific cloud of' dust and dirt, and precipitating itself with some fourteen or fifteen people on it to an under cir cular or duplicate staircase of similar construction, leading to the well-known lower theatre, amid the convulsive cries and shrieks of the poor sufferers, who were hurled from a height of some 30 feet one upon another, to the basement of the hall below, where they presented an undistinguishable mass of human bangs, covered with stone and masses of broken debris. The spectacle, it is hardly necessary to say, was saddening in the extreme, five females (whose names it Was impossible to obtain owing to the 'confusion that existed and the lateness of the hour) being extricated with much difficulty from the superincumbent mass of fallen material, and one child (a girl) of about eight yeart3 of age, not yet identified. On being re7eased by the officers of the establishment and the police who were called in to assist, they were immediately conveyed in cabs to the Middlesex Hospital, where we were informed by Mr. Shaw, under whose superintendence they were placed, that of the females, two—mother and daughter—had suffered from fractured arms and contusions, but not of a very dangerous character; that the third had a broken jaw and other contusions, and the two others had suffered fracture of the skull with contusions, both lying in a dangerous and as we understood critical condition. There was also in one of the wards a boy with a scalp wound, but not considered dangerous. Every attention is being paid to the sufferers at the Middlesex Hospital, and Mr. Longbottom, the manager, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Wynne, Mr. King, and other directors of the establishment, were unremitting until an early_ hour this morning, in attending to the wounded, and in inquiring into the calamitous cause of the catastrophe. This, accordidg to the account of Mr. Cousins, the money receiver, and other officers near the spot, would appear to have arisen from the cir cumstance of a number of foolish persons—the last amongst those who had to go out—pressing too closely on the progress of those who were making their way down the upper stairs, which failed, under the undue pressure put upon them, to sustain the sudden impetus and strain, and which resulted in the lamentaale catastrophe, although for the last 20 years the same stairs, most substantially constructed by the architect of the building (Mr. Thompson), have stood their ground, de die in diem, under the accumulated weight of hundreds of visi tors. Nevertheless, it must be mentioned that the staircases, which have two spiral flights from a centre, having been worn away by the continued traffic of years, had been reeently cased over with an iron lattice work on the surface from top to bot tom, with the supposed object of strengthening them ; and there cannot be much doubt, from an inspection of the material, that the masons in inter weaving this iron lattice work all over the steps (which gives them the appearance of a tesselated pavement), have inconsiderately cat too deep into the stone, in order to fix in the iron and incorporate it with the steps, and that it is to this excessive in cision, which was intended to have a stiffening and strengthening effect, but which the sad result proves' had only a destructive and debilitating one—that this sad calamity has been occasioned, more parti cularly as the contractor had not the cleverness or common sense to connect his iron lattice work with the sides of the building, whicti would then itself have formed an iron staircase, in combination with the stone. The occurrence is the more remarkable when it is mentioned that on Monday (Boxing-day) no fewer than 5,000 passed in and out of the Poly technic, over these same flight of steps, without acci dent, though it mustnot be forgotten that this very circumstance would have a tendency to try, if not to weaken their structural strength and capability. The establishment will, of course, have to be closed for some time, until the staircases altogether (the left one only on entering having fallen in) are reconstructed or renewed; and this, together with all other matters, will be fully considered at a. special meeting of the directors, which will be held to-day. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Perkins, medical gentlemen in the neighbourhood, hastened mune l ately to the spot, and rendered all necessary , sur gical assistance. T UESDA Y MORNING, Two O'CLOCK. On inquiry at the Middlesex Hos p ital, we were informed that the girl of ei_gmhetnyteioanrsed erhawdde still in and that the two females before a critical condition. An inquest will be held to-day. PARTICULARS.—(THIS BAY.) examination of th e spot where the A LA m TE ie S u T te above lamentable accident occurred took place this and the opinio n o f the directors and ( g that the catast rop h e was caused by the morning, in breaking away of the top stair was confirmed. There seems to be some very exaggerated accounts prevalent with respect to the number of persons injured, but we can confidently state that nine or ten lxr B ons, after having their in,uries dressed at the Middlesex Hospital, proceeded to their homes. At the present time there remains at the hospital the following persons:— Emma Pike, aged 11 years, 50, New:ngton-causeway— laceration of leg, and fractures of both thighs; since dead. Sarah Copping, 35, Chapel-street, Grosvenor-square-- scalp wound, depression of skull, cot els , ion of tbe brain. & / Catherine WoOdroW, aged 22, Foley-street severe wound in fnco.
