WIND, South-Easterly ; rather fresh—cold, with sun shiny weather. It blew a perfect gale for the last four days, with biting cold. Not far short of 100,000 disciplined soldiers are now assembled under the QUEEN'S colours is. Hin dostan. Our gallant army is led, moreover, by one of the most eminent of our heroic generals. The hot season has termivated in India, and the winter campaign of 1858-1859 was fairly commenced on the 15th October. The serpent of the Sepoy Rebel lion, scotched by Sir COLIN CAMPBELL before the commencement of the Asiatic summer, now remains to be destroyed and exterminated by Lord CLYDE of Clydesdale. It has dragged its slow and terrible length along during more than a whop twelve month ; throughout the lapse of which it has been trampled upon and crushed here and there at in tervals—assailed and beaten, as it were, piecemeal. The closing campaign, which has now begun, or rather which has already been developed by exactly one month, is inaugurated with the comprehensive design of surrounding the monster—gradually contracting the avenging circle, and eventually annihilating the hitherto scattered, and some of them scatheless, legions of the foe. The result is simply a question of time. Yet the undertaking is immense—because the enemy is still very nume. rous ; because they are men, for the most part, at bay, fighting with halters round their necks, and ncited against us by the maddening goad of despe ration ; because, beyond this, they are scattered far and wide over vast tracts of country. Altogether, it is easy to number up 60,000 or 70,000 insurgents still in arms, under despotic chiefs like NANA SAIIIB and his brother BALAROW—bands of rebels varying from sometimes the merest handful up to cornpaci bodies of fifteen thousand men-13,000 at Churda 11,000 at Bithoor and Futtclpore, 6,500 at Boandee , 3,000 at Birwa, 2,500 at Belgraon, 2,000 at Thule pore, 2,500 at Khyrabad, 900 at Sandee, and so on hither and thither in separate masses of varying strength—one of the most formidable bands of all being that assembled under the lawless banners of the Nawab of Bareilly, KIIAN BAHADOOR KIIAN, at a diAance of a few miles to the east of Shahjchanpore. Around all these desperate hordes of rebels the net will have to be spread adroitly, to be then drawn tighter and tighter in contracting meshes until the whole swarm of insur gents have been routed, disarmed, and finally con quered. With a mere handful of men, and these mostly Sepoys, Sir CHARLES NAPIER accomplished in a few weelisa precisely similar feat, when opposed not by a rabble of ruffian insurgents under leaders eminent for nothing but their guilt and cruelty, but by formidable armies of warriors like the Beloo. chees, under great soldiers like Au MouRAD and the Lion of Meerpore, SHERE MAiromED. And the Conqueror of Soinde had to encompass his anta- gonists by means of a combination of military operations, some of them separated from each other by distances of 200 miles. Yet heroism, genius sagacity, daring, forethought, vanquished every obstacle, vanquished distance and numbers—and a vast province was won for the empire on the bloody plains of Meanee and Hyderabad. Then, the proportions were enormously against us—the enemy was, moreover, formidable in intellect and valour —their arms were not paralysed by the remembrance of atrocities like those of Delhi and Cawnpore. Now, the situation is altogether diffe rent. Our troops are numerically powerful. They are heartened, besides, by the memory of men like HAVELOCK, and NEILL, and NICHOLSON. They enter the last campaign of the war of the rebellion opposed to a scattered and dispirited foe, a foe without any one leader of note—they themselves led by a Crimean hero no less illustrious than the Highland chief who defended Balaklava, COLIN CAMPBELL, Lord CLYDE of Clydesdale. Remem bering this, and remembering our just cause, we can have little doubt as to the camp-aign being carried to a satisfactory close rapidly and tri: urnphantly-, What part will the working man take P This question, asked by many an independent Reformer, and asked, we are sure, with no little seriousness by Lord DERBY and Mr. DISRAELI, no one can affect to despise. The millions are a power if they choose to act, and, if they act peacefully and yet firmly, ft power very difficult to retaist. Do the , s t a t z. _ ae — 104114V111 THE SUN. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 17, 1858. On the other hand, it seems useless to put votes for national purposes into the hands of men who take no interest in anything beyond the gossip of the workshop, or the noisy talk of the beer shop or gin palace. If petty and low matters alone occupy their minds, why ask them to vote on affairs which never occupy their thoughts or their conver sation, and on which they never read. Such a class of voters would be either a mere nominal addition to the constituencies, or, in their utter indifference about measures and men, would be open to the most paltry and corrupt inducements. Without the Ballot they would be the very Helots of every election, and even with it they possibly might tempt rival candidates to the worst kind of expenditure ; though no candidate could, one would think, like to . hazara treating and bribing men who might vote against him in spleen, because they thought he did not " fork out enough." lire must say that it is highly creditable to the u•orkiny men, that whenever they ask for the Suffrage they ask also for the Ballot. It shows unmistakeably that they prize liberty of suffrage above mere animal gratification, or the chance of a sovereign or more from a candidate. They ask to he deprived of the power to get a bribe in the same breath in which they ask for a vote. We repeat, that considerate men among the better-off classes must honour the non-electors of the opera tive class for uniformly asking for a franchise inaccessible to bribery. The old freemen in the boroughs would not do this. They do not want the Ballot, but beer or money. Tenants-at-will also are too timid to ask for their own freedom. The British workman, to his credit, asks for his political freedom pure et simple. Up to the present time it certainly looks as if working men were preparing to renew their demands for admission to the franchise with firmness and moderation. Besides the meetings at Birmingham, Marylebone, Glasgow, and Finsbury, there has been, as our readers have seen, a very large and important meeting at Manchester. It was con vened by working men in the Free-trade Hall, which large place, able to contain four or five thousand people, was quite filled, and the well-known leaders of the advanced Liberals among the electors were also invited and attended, Mr. BAZLEY, the new candidate, among the number, and Alderman HEY WOOD was invited to take the chair. The people's resolution for manhood suffrage, vote by ballot, triennial Parliaments, and equal electoral districts, was of course carried ; but it was fully and fairly discussed, as compared especially with the proposal of a rating suffrage, for which Mr. BAZLEY avowed his preference, and Mr. EDWARD POTTER argued at length. Both these gentlemen were not only patiently heard, but cheered, and a vote to support Mr. BAZLEY carried unanimously, notwithstanding his :advocacy of a somewhat limited franchise. It was significant, too, that the very same people who hissed Mr. BRIGHT, the peace-at-any-price man, a few years ago, now loudly cheered JOINT BRIGHT, the Parliamentary Reformer, and his colleagues MILNER GIBSON and COBDEN too. They would not have the wrong man in the wrong place, but they were hearty enough for the right man in the right place. What strikes us as the most important feature of the meetings hitherto is the determination of the operatives not to embarrass, but to support the middle classes. They insist naturally and consis tently on their right to manhood suffrage, but they are ready to do their best to secure a rating suf frage. Time was when the Charter was held to be of more consequence than cheap bread, and when meetings to promote repeal of the Corn Laws were interrupted by noisy demagogues who surely were in the pay of the Protectionists. All such — tactics were explicitly repudiated at this meeting by the very same class of men, and it unquestionably shows a groat advance in practical good sense, and good feeling too. Their expectations, too, seemed to be very moderate of the direct benefit to be gained by securing their political rights. Alto. ,;ether the tone of the vast meeting was that of men to whom it would not be easy to refuse a vote as incompetent to use it with discretion. Should such be the course taken by the working men generally, should such meetings be numerous and widely extended, and the temper of them be the same, we are assuredly not far from something bordering very closely on universal suffrage. Mil lions acting calmly, intelligently, yet decidedly, would be a consideration to which any Minister must yield—perhaps would be willing to yield. The safest time to popularise the suffrage must be when men's tempers are reasonable, and their cir- cumstances pretty good. At a recent meeting of the Commissioners of Supply of the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, a very important,sukect was ventilated, which is deserv ing of serious . consideration. It was suggested by Mr. WITHAM, of Kirkcormack, who, had been nominated one vf a Committee to confer with Lord - KINNAIRD, respecting some aniendments in the Lunacy Bill for Scotland. The hon. gentleman declared that " he should consider it his duty to suggest that the Lunacy Act for Scotland be assi milated, in one respect at least, to the Lunacy Act for England. The act contains a clause, one similar to which he should like to see inserted in the act for Scotland,providingthat noperson shall be appointed a commissioner in lunacy who not only has any interest in anyprivate lunatic asylum throughout the country, but who shall declare that he has had no such interest for three years previously; and further, that no application shall be competent by any person to any sheriff or other authority for leave to keep any lunatic in any, house belonging to any com missioner in Scotland. These clauses were not in the Lunacy Act for Scotland; but he believed it was intended that they should be, for he could not con ceive that it was the intention of the Legislature that any Commissioner in Lunacy should place himself in a position where his private interests might clash with the discharge of his public duties." We have had the question of lunacy so frequently brought forward lately, and under such painful circ - stances, that all parties will cordially co ncur i n the opinion that th e utmost possible protection should be afforded to the unfortunate persons who are or may be suffering under the most direful calamity to which a human being can be subjected many care to obtain the franchise ? Do they care enough for it to present their claims in numbers, and in a temper which must be met by argument and persuasion, beca.use no opening is furnished to the constable and the bayonet ? We confess that we shall watch the movements - of the operatives with no little curiosity. We should not ourselves advocate the bestowment of the franchise beyond the demand for it. Logic would doubtless give a vote to every man who had to obey the laws or pay the taxes of his country. The theory of re presentative government supposes that all are equally represented; and it is confessedly ungra cious for the elector to say to the non-elector, I can serve you better than you can serve yourself. That is the argument of every despot. It is Lcuis NAPOLEON'S answer to all the able men to whom he interdicts liberty of political speech and action. It may do for the parallels of Paris and Lyons, but it will not do for those of London and Man chester. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. H. DRUMIVIOND WOLFF. Colonial-office, 16th Nov., 1858. IMPERIAL P.RBSENT TO.. HER MAJESTY. Her Majesty afterwards conversed with the Duke of Malakoff and the French and English officers present for some time, and then entered the Castle. The gun was afterwards conveyed to the Cavalry Barracks, Spittal, and will be taken to Woolwich t o.morrow. This beautiful piece of ordnance was sent to the Queen in return for her Majesty's present to the Emperor, a few months since, of one of our English field pieces and an ammunition waggon. It is a 12-pounder, highly polished brass ho witzer, and mounted on a carriage of beautifully polished oak. Complete sets of harness for 12 horses, such as are used in France, accom panying the gun, as well as several rounds of am munition. The piece bears the appropriate name of " l'Alliance," and on it are engraved near the muzzle the words " A la Reine Victoria, l'Empereur Napoleon, 1858," with the cipher, surmounted by the Imperial Crown, and on the breach are the arms of England beautifully chased. During the stay of the French officer and officers of the Royal Artillery they were handsomely enter twined at the Cavalry and Infantry Barracks by the officers of the 2d Life Guards and Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards. We are sorry to announce a serious accident which took place at the royal mews last evening to the French sergeant-major, who having over balanced the ammunition-box, it fell from the wag gon on to his leg and broke it. He was immedi ately conveyed in one of the royal carriages to the White Hart Hotel, where he received surgical aid from Mr. Brown, her Majesty's surgeon at Windsor, :and on the unfortunate occurrence being made known to the Queen, her Majesty and the Prince Consort sent the Lord in Waiting to inquire after the man, and gave orders for every necessary atten tion to be paid to him. WRECK OFF FILEY. FILEY, MoNbAY. Yesterday afternoon the brig Felicity of Lynn, from Hartlepool, with coals, came on shore on Filey Sands, opposite the town, during the heavy gale of wind which has been blowing on this coast from the eastward. The life boat of the Royal National Life-boat Institution stationed at this place was immediately manned by 14 men, and launched before the vessel took the ground; the boat then succeeded in taking off her crew, consisting of seven men, who were in half an hour afterwards safely landed on the beach. The gallant crew of the life boat will be paid £l4 by the Life-boat Institu tion for their prompt and valuable services. This life boat station is one of the tmost complete on the coast, The life boat's coxswain and his crew are thoroughly conversant with the qualities of their life boat, which has repeatedly been instrumental in saving the lives of poor shipwrecked sailors. The life boat of the institution, stationed a few miles south of this place, at Bridlington Quay, was also signalled out this morning at half-past four, to the assistance of the crew of the brig Amfilles, from Rotterdam for Shields, which likewise stranded, during a heavy gale of wind, near Barm ston. The life boat was drawn as soon as possible by a number of horses to the spot, whits is a about five miles from Bridlington. It was found, how ever, on her arrival that the ship's crew had landed in their own boats, with the assistance of the coast guard and others on the beach. This life boat has also often been successfully used in saving life from wrecks. A Cabinet Council was held at the official residence o the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Downing -street yester day. The Ministers present were the. Earl of Derby, the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis Of Salisbury, the Earl of Hardwicke, Mr 4 Secretarj, Wal pole, the Earl of Mahnesbury, Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, General Peel, Lord Stanley, Sir J. Pakington, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, and Lord J. Manners. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of the Hon Harriet Sarah, only child of Lord and Lady Overstone, and Major Robert James Lindsay, Scots Fulfi ller Guards, youngest son of the late Major-General James Lindsay, was solemnised this forenoon at the church of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields. It is understood that the Firman for the contem plated Bank of Turkey has reached London, and is now in the hands of the Ambassador. TRADE IN MANCHESTER.—The market was very firm yesterday, with an advance of about id. per lb. in yarns, and a corresponding increase in the prices of most kinds of cloth. The amount of business done has not been large perhaps this may be accounted for by th e non - arr i val of the usual mails. FURTHER FORGERIES AND EMBEZZLEMENT BY JOHN POLLARD, AT WIGAN.—On Monday, at the Public Hall, Wigan, John Pollard, late proprietor of the Wigan Examiner and the Colliery Guardian, was again brought before the magistrates, to answer charges of embezzlement, as well as additional forgeries. The defalcations up to this time are stated to reach more than £2,000. The majority of shareholders in the Wigan Bu:aling Society, upon whom the forgeries have been committed, belong to the working classes. Mr. Hilton went into the case of a forgery upon Miss Emily Dickinson, purporting to be a transfer of her shares, amounting to £126. Miss Emily Dickinson stated that she - now resided at Lismore Castle, in Ireland. In A-rid, 1856, she purchased two shares in the Wi gan B ene fit BUilding Society. She produced her scrip cards, which she received at the taking up of the shares in question. She has never withdrawn those shares, nor ordered anyone to withdraw them, as she had not the least intention of doing so. Mr. Pollard did mention to her, in September last, that it would be better for some parties to withdraw their shares, but she told him it was not her intention todo so. Since that time she had no conversation with him. The receipt for £126 was not signed by her. She had re ceived no money from Mr. Pollard, or ony one else. The prisoner was committed on this chayge, and remanded on other charges until Monday next, —Manchester Examiner. —the loss, indeed, of that which alone elevates him above the beasts of the field. The appointment of Lunacy Commissioners is at best but a slender guarantee even for common fair play. The duties of their office are so multifarious, their visits so rapid, that they can bestow but slight investiga • tion on each separate me. But even that is some thing. Their attention may possibly be directed to the sufferer and inquiry made; but if the party making that inquiry;is concerned with the pecuniary affairs of the party that may be complained against, if there be a community of s. d., it must be obvious that every security is withdrawn. Few will impeach their own partners, or occasion losses to others, when every pound withdrawn from their pockets must be followed by a similar draught from their own. It is also just and proper that there should have been no such confidential relations for a speci fied period. In this respect, Mr. WITHAM'S very proper suggestion will be concurred in by every disinterested and unprejudiced person throughout the length and breadth of the land. Sir,—l am directed to inform you that the recent publication of two despatches from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands took place without the knowledge or sanction, direct or indirect, of her Majesty's Government . ; and that from the time of their appearance strict inquiry has been in progress :into the manner in which they became public.—l remain, Sir, your obedient ser vant, WINDSOR, Nov. 16. This afternoon the beautiful brass gun sent to this country by the Emperor of the French, under charge of Major Melchior, of the Artillery of the French Imperial Guard, was presented to her Majesty by Field-Marshal the Duke a Malakoff. The gun was brought to Windsor on Tuesday last and placed in the royal mews ; and on the same day a detachment of the C Troop of Horse Artil lery, under the command of Capt. King, arrived here, and have since been quartered at the cavalry barracks, Spittal, for the purpose of exercising with the gun. Shortly before three :o'clock this after noon ehe piece was brought into the quadrangle of the Castle, when it was unlimbered, and, placed immediately before the grand entrance. At three o'clock the Queen and the Prince Con sort, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Prince of Leiningen, and the royal suite, entered the quadrangle, when the Duke of Malakoff (who had previously arrived), in an appropriate address and in the name of his imperial master, presented the gun to her Majesty; after which the Queen and the Prince Consort made a minute inspection of the pieee, and also the ammunition waggon. It was then limbered up, and taken round the quad rangle at a walk and trot. ING, NOVEMBER 17, 1858. LATEST NEW. The following telegram has been received a Mr. Reuter's office : MADRID, Nov. 16 According to advices received from Portugal, several earthquakes have caused great damage there. On the Peninsular coasts of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, several shipwrecks have occurred, in consequence of tempests. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY, The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow ing report to the Emperor from Prince Napoleon, proposing the admission of Jews into the Coun cils-General of Algeria : " Sire,—Your Majesty's decree appointing the members of the , Councils-General of Algeria has left a few places unfilled in each of those Councils. It was necessary, in fact, to reserve the means of making new nominations according to the in terests and wants which might not have been sufficiently represented. Those which I have now the honour to submit to your Majesty's appro val are chiefly with the object of admitting the Israelite element into the composition of the Councils-General. The Jewish native population of Algeria is very considerable, and will show its gratitude for this mark of interest and confidence, and in presence of the various forms of worship practised in Algeria it is useful and advisable to show by an act of your Government that freedom of profession is absolute and complete before our laws. " Accept, Sire, the homage of the deep and respectful attachment of your Majesty's very de voted cousin, the Prince charged with:the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies, " NAPOLEON (JEROME.) " This report is followed by an Imperial decree dated from Compiegne, 14th Nov., 1858, granting the request, and appointing various Yews to seats in the Gouncils-General. BOURSE, Nov. 16.—The market has been very steady in Rente, with improvin prices. The half monthly settlement of shares has been effected on favourable conditions. Threes have been done at 74f. 55c., and are now at 74f. 85e. ; Mobilier varied from 985 f. to 995 f. ; Austrian, 642 f. 50e. to 640 f.; Orleans, 1,385 f. to 1,390 f. ; Lyons, 873 f. 75e. to 876 f. 25c. , and Southern, 583 f. 75e - . to 586 f. 25c.

' The foP•wing proclamation has been issued at Bucharest by the members of the new . Kaima canate : " Brethren and Fellow-citizens,—His Majesty the Sultan, our august Sovereign, has intrusted us, according to Article 14 of the Convention of Paris of August 19th, 1858, and to the statutes of the country, with the Provisional Kaimakanate, until a Prince Regent has been formally elected. Pene trated with the importance of this high mission, and with the responsibity it involves, we fee/. it our duty to manifest by these presents, before God, our suzerain, and our falw-citizens, the sen timents with which we are animated, and which shall guide us while our Administration lasts. As we must exercise strict impartiality, we invite every one to respect the right of all without ex ception, to repel all illicit favours, and to uphold the laws. Our responsibility towards the high powers, towards ciir country, posterity, and our own conscience, will give us strength to prevent all irregularities, to pursue intrigues, to unmask them, and root them out; even though it be at the cost of the most painful sacrifices, the greatest efforts, we hope to attain this object by the legal powers entrusted to our hands. We entertain the conviction that this solicitude will gain us the esteem and gratitude of our fellow-citizens, and we will at the same time endeavour to discharge honestly the mission confided to us. Brethren and fellow-citizens, the convention of the 19th August opens to the United Principalities a new era of activity, and at the same time affords us an opportunity of displaying to Eu rope our patriotism, our love of justice, and our moderation. We tell you frankly before God and the world—on your impartiality, your justice, your fear of God depends the future prosperity of your country. We pray you then to appreciate properly the importance of the present moment. As the deputies to be elected will represent the whole nation, will speak and act for it, selfishness, party spirit, jealousy, and discord displayed by you would be a proof of the decline of our 'nation and of shameful ingratitude towards the high powers which, by the modifications in our constitution, have given us a striking proof of their kindness. We entertain the firm conviction that at this great moment, at which all Europe regards us, the Ros man will show that he possesses self-control and knows how to respect the laws. We, however, specially call on civil and military functionaries to be vigilant and just, to employ all their efforts, to prevent disorder, and to remain in the path of legality. We also think right to proclaim that any individual who shall disobey these recommen dations shall be severely punished, according to law. In this manner, brethren and fellow-citizens, we shall certainly attain what we desire—the esteem of the great powers, the gratitude of our descendants, and the benediction of Heaven." A letter from Bucharest states that the Ottoman Porte has informed the caimacans in the Princi palities that the present Ministers are to retain their portfolios. SPAIN,. The Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived. The Direction of Agriculture announces that in order to encourage th e b ree d o f h orses i t was about to purchase a number of foreign horses for the Go vernment depots, and that it would be ready at the same timeto purchase others for breeders. A modi fication in and even an entire change of the Minis try continued to be talked of, and, notwithstanding the denials of the semi-official journals, was consi dered not unlikely. It was reported that a recon ciliation between General Narvaez and Queen Christina had been come to. The amount of the floating debt on the 31st ult. was 219,333,727 reals. M. Collantes, the ex-Minister, had been ordered for prosecution for having delivered a violent speech at Palencia against the local authori ties, and he would have been placed in custody if he had not been confined to his bed by indisposi tion. The Espana and N,l s had been again tried for seditious libel, "bop had been ac quitted. M. F. Barrot, the FreneUmbassador, was . to arrive in Madrid on the 28t if. A letter says • —" Last night a deputation of the representatives of the Credit Mobilier, including Messrs. Dueler and others, had the honour of being received by their Majesties. The object of the interview VMS to solicit her Majesty's' gracious consent to some arrangement by which the North of Spain Railway line may be • allowed to pass through a portion of the Crown estates. It is understood that his Ex cellency the Marquis of San Isabel, the intendant, who is a Spaniard of the old school, nurses some obstinate prejudices against railway communica tion, and, above all, against that species of travel ling through her Majesty's lands, and as the over coming of these prejudices appears to present some difficulties, recourse was had to.the Queen, who, to do her justice, is ever alive to whatever may be conducive to the prosperity of the country and the development of its resources. The subject was thoroughly discussed, and though no definitive resolution was entered into, yet it is confidently hoped that the untoward influence alluded to will be shortly overcome, the King Consort, who takes a lively interest in this great national undertaking, having promised that he would take an early opportunity of surveying the ground himself with a view to a prompt adjustment of the business." AMERICA. THE PROPOSED PEOPLE'S PALACE. The proposal to erect " The Palace of the People" at Muswell-hill, in Middlesex, however startling at first sight, deserves the careful exami nation of every true friend of popular education, and especially of those who reside during any portion of the year in this great metropolis. It would be superfluous to dilate on the advan tages and attractions of the Crystal Palace. They have been felt and appreciated by millions of our own countrymen and by numbers of foreigners. The practical question to consider is, What opening remains for another institution of the same charac ter, and what are its chances of success ? Now, amidst the bewilderment of the fairy scene at Sy Benham, it has often struck us that the design which is embodied there, viz., the combina tion of instruction and amusement, admitted of great expansion and of more systematic arrange ment. The founders of " The Palace of the People " propose to accomplish this—with what success time only can, show; but, if we are not mistaken, they have touched a chord which will vibrate throughout the country, by placing in the foreground that most national of all topics— English History. What an abundance of rich material must now be scattered through the private dwellings and collections of England which is comparatively worthless in an isolated form, but which, when well grouped together and chronolo gically arranged, would constitute a pictorial history of England for ages to come. We cite this merely as a proof of the goodness of the design if carried out with honesty and ability. Other subjects will, of course, commend them selves to those who make them their special study. As respects the locality, the case presented by the " Palace of the People " seems irresistible. We do not so much allude to the beauty of the situation, although that is of no mean importance, as to the fact that the Palace will form the centre of a population within easy walking or riding dis tance, four times as large as that- which surrounds the Crystal Palace, and amounting in the aggre gate to one million and a-half of souls. For the whole of this district there is positively no institu tion of a similar character which is readily accessi ble; and when to this mass of ordinary customers is superadded the visitors from the country, by the Great Northern, Eastern Counties, London and North-Western, and Great Western Railways, it appears to us that the undertaking can never lack support, if it is only worthily organised and maintained. The last question is, " Will it pay ?" Now, although the foregoing remarks go far to furnish a reply, we should view with some apprehension the application of an equal amount of capital to that expended at Sydenham. But we are assured by the promoters that all their design can be accom- plished for less than half the capital of the Crysta Palace, and that there will remain at the disposal of the company 300 acres of building land for re- sale, whose value must be greatly enhanced on the opening of the Palace. This needs no demonstra- tion after what has been experienced by land owners at Sydenham ; and, all we can say in con clusion is that, if the company, when duly organised, can give sufficient pledges for the realisation of what is put forth in the preliminary announcement, they will have established valid claims to the support not only of the friends of popular education and innocent amusement, but to those more cautious members of society who weigh well the merits of Investment.— Morning P aper.

SUICIDE of A LICENSED VICTUALLER IN HAT TON-GARDEN. Yesterday morning. Mr. Brent, deputy coroner for West Middlesex, proceeded with an inquiry at the Globe Tavern, corner of Charles-street, Hatton-garden, touching the death of the late proprietor of that house, Mr. John Draper. The deceased's remains ? ;when viewed by the coroner and jury, presented a shockmg spectacle, from a severe gash in the throat, and a gunshot would in the, head.—Joseph Skidmore Draper, son of the deceased land lord, who was convulsed with grief, found his father dead between ten and eleven o'clock on Sunday morning. He knocked at the door, but receiving no answer he and his brother forced it'open, when they found the deceased lying on the ground in a pool of blood. They sent for Mr. Gibson and Mr. Pollock, surgeons. Two barmaids slept in the adjoining room, but never heard the slightest report of the gun. Witness saw the deceased on Saturday night in his usual health. He had taken a house at Barnes and was going to take possession of it. on Monday.—Mr. R. Gibson, surgeon, said he was called at half-past ten on Sunday morning, and found him lying on the ground in a pool of blood, from five cuts in his throat, and a gun-shot wound under the chin with a razor lying by his side.— After other corroborative evidence had been given, the coroner briefly summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity.

THA CKERAYANIUND YA TES-TILE GARRICK CLUB. . A case which promises to be of considerable in terest in literary and club circles, and which will raise an important and novel point, is to be tried by one of the common law courts, at Westminster, probably during the sittings at nisi Arius after the present term. It arises out of the dispute between Mr. Thackeray and Mr. Edmund Yates, both mem bers of the Garrick Club, which arose under the following circumstances Under the title of " Literary Talk," Mr. Yates published an article having for its subject Mr. W. M. Thackeray, and thus described his " appearance"—Mr. Thackeray is 46 years old, though from the silvery whiteness of his hair he appears somewhat older. He is very tall, standing upwards of six feet two inches, and, as he walks erect, his height makes him conspicuous in every assembly. His face is blood less, and not particularly expressive, but re markable for the fracture of the bridge of his nose, the result of an accident in youth. He wears small grey whisker, but otherwise is clean shaven. No one meeting him would fail to recognise in him a gentleman. His bearing is cold and uninviting, his style of conversation either openly cynical or affectedly good-natured and benevolent; ben hommie is forced, his wit biting, his pride easily touched, but his appearance is invariably that of a cool, suave, well-bred:gentleman, who whatever may be rankling within, suffers no surface display of his emotion." Mr. Yates then proceeded to com ment on Mr. Thackeray's genius :—" It was with the publication of the third and fourth numbers of Vanity Fair' that he began to dawn upon a read ing public as a great genius." Then, " His success culminated with Lectures on English Humorists of the Eighteenth Century,' which were at tended by all the Court and fashion of Lon don, The prices were extravagant ; the lecturer's adulation of birth and position was extravagance ; the success was extravagant." The publication of the article in question having been brought to the knowledge of Mr. Thackeray, he wrote to Mr. Yates, with whom he had been on speaking terms as members of the same club, in which he described the article " to be not offensive and unfriendly merely, but slan derous and untrue." Mr. Thackeray concluded with the following admonition—" I;beg, as I have a right to do, that you will refrain from printing comments upon my private conversation, that you will forego discussion, however blundering, on my private affairs, all that you will henceforth please to consider any question of my personal truth and • sincerity as quite out of the province of your criticism." Mr. Yates immediately rejoined by a letter, in which he rejected Mr. Thackeray's " angry understanding" of his phrases, adding, " If your letters were not slanderous and untrue, I should readily have discussed the subject with you, and avowedmy earnest and frank desire to set right anything I may have left wrong." Mr. Thackeray then submitted the correspondence which had passed between Mr. Yates and himself, toge ther with the copy of the article to which he had taken exception, to the committee of the Garrick Club. " I think," wrote Mr. Thackeray, "I may fairly appeal to the committee of the Gar rick Club to decide whether the complaints I have against Mr. Yates *are not well founded, and whether the practice of publishing such arti cles as that which I enclose would not be fatal to the comfort of the club, and is not intoler able in a society of gentlemen." Mr. Yates, having heard that Mr. Thackeray had adopted this course wrote to ask the committee to suspend their judg ment until he could consult his friends and prepare his own version of the case to lay before them. This was on the 19th of June, but on the 23d Mr. Yates wrote to the committee, questioning their right to entertain the matter at all. " The article," he said, " maylbe in exceedingly bad taste, but the committee is not a committee of taste." The committee held a special meeting on the 26th, and came to a decision expressed in certain resolutions. They resolved that it was competent to them to entertain Mr. Thackeray's complaint ; that the complaint itself was well grounded; and that the practice of publishing such articles, being reflections by one member of the club against any other, would be fatal to the comfort of the club and,intolerable in a society of gentlemen. The committee further resolved, that Mr. Yates was bound to make an " ample apology," or retire from the club. Mr. Yates declined either to retire or to apologise, and stated he would appeal to a gene ral meeting on two questions—first, whether the ease between Mr. Thackeray and himself was such a case as should be submitted to the committee at all ; and secondly, " Whether Mr. Thackeray has any right to call for an apology from me when he has so very arrogantly and coarsely addressed me." The result was that Mr. Yates' subscription was returned, and it was intimated to him that he was expelled the club. He has therefore instituted an action against the committee for trespass, in refus ing to allow him to enter the club, and this will raise the important question, as affecting the rights of members generally, whether the club had the right to expel Mr. Yates or not. It is understood that there will be a large array of legal talent on both sides, and the trial, both from the nature of *e issue and the position of the parties, will possess great interest. The Attorney-General has been rotained for the committee of the Garrick Club. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., is to lead the the case on behalf of the plaintiff, Mr. Edmund Yates.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale in to-day's market. For good and fine qualities we had a fair demand at full quotations ; but inferior parcels were a slow inquiry at late rates. In foreign wheat—the show of which was large —very little business was transacted on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain supported previous rates. Fine malting barley moved off steadily—other kinds slowly at Monday's currency. Old malt was firm in price, with a fair demand ; but new qualities moved off slowly on former terms. There was an improved feeling in the oat trade; but no advance took place in the quotations. Beans, peas, and flour supported Monday's quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats.
