By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of X 5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica„ of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

The Curaooa, 31, screw, sailed from Spithead yesterday; at 5.30 p.m., under both steam and can vas. Letters received at Plymouth from the flag-ship Indus, 71, Capt. S. C. D. Hay, state that on the 28th of July she was at Halifax ; crew all well. Some seamen gunners would leave her shortly for England. Letters received at Plymouth from the screw ship Orion, 91, dated July 22, state that her newly-ap pointed captain had arrived that day by :he mail. She was then the only ship at Malta, and continued under repair. The screw steamship Donegal, 101, Capt. Gran ville, left Hamoaze under steam on Wednesday, took a short trip outside the breakwater, and re turned to Plymouth Sound, when she exchanged salutes with the flagship Impregnable. . - It is rumoured at Plymouth that the screw steam ship Caesar, 90, will probably be sent to Hongkong for invalids, in whiCh case she would return about March or April. That part of her crew entitled to bounty was paid on Tuesday. The steam frigate Termagant, 25, Capt. Hall, left Plymouth on Monday for the south-east coast of America. The steam tender Lightning, 3, from Pembroke, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday. Mr. George H. Ryan and Mr. F. B. Pritchard have been appointed surgeons to her Majesty's ship Tortoise.

" FRANCESCO FILLIPONI." that it was two hours before the endof the argument that he had consented to the preliminary inquiry being gone into, but positively objected to the question of the seat being gone into. Mr. Cariss was recalled in explanation of what he had stated to Mr. Wilkinson about Mr. Rose. The room was then cleared, and after a short de liberation it was announced that the committee had adjourned the consideration of their report - until one o'clock to-morrow. HULL. The committee reassembled yesterday ; Mr. Puller in the chair. At 26 minutes past five o'clock the case was closed, and the room cleared. After the committee had remained in deliberation three hours and a half, at 10 minutes to mine o'clock the doors were opened and strangers were readmitted. The CHAIRMAN said,—The committee have una nimously came to the following resolutions : " 1. That Joseph Hoare, Esq., is not duly elected to serve as a burgess in this present Parliament for the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull. " 2. That the last election for the said borough as far as regards the return of the said Joseph Hoare, Esq., is a void election. _ _ . " 3: That it has been proved befors the committee that at the last election of the said borongh as many as 487 persons were employed on behalf Hof Joseph Hoare, Esq., and that 493 persons were *employed on behalf of Messrs. Clay and Lewis as messengSrS, canvassers, booth clerks and check clerks: , • • _ _ _ _ " 4. That of the persons tio employed bn the behalf of Joseph Hoare, Esq., more titian 300 appear to have been voters of the said borough, and to have received from the agent of the said Joseph Hciare, Esq., in respect of such employment, sums varying in amount from 2s. 6d. to £3 ss. " 5. That among the voters so employed were the follow ing persons, to whom the several sums were paid which are set opposite to their names . ;" The names of 25 voters are then given, one of whom received 2s. 6d. ; one, ss. ; one, 7s. ; two, 10s. 6d. ; one, 14s. ; five, 15s. ; three, 15s. 6d. ; two, £1,.25. 6d. ; one, £1 6s. ; one, £1 9s. 6d. ; three, £1 10s. ; one, £1 lls. 6d. ; one, £1 16s. 6d.; one, £2 3s. 6d.; and one, £2 10s: 6d. " 6. That some of the said voters were allowed to con tinue at their usual work during all the time of their em ployment, and to come only at their dinner hour and in the evening, but, nevertheless, were paid at the same rate as those who had attended all day ; that some were so old and infirm as to be incapable of rendering any efficient service ; that some were paid fora greater number of days than that for which they were engaged, and for a greater number of hours than they were employed or in attendance, while none appeared to have rendered any service for the money they received. "7. That it does not appear to the committee that any such acts of bribery were committed by or with the kpow ledge or consent of the said Joseph Hoare, Esq., who showed great anxiety to check any illegal proceedings in respect to the said election. "3. The committee desire to call the attention of the house to the circumstance that Mr. 'William Henry Moses, the election auditor for the borough of Hull, appeared as went for the petitioners, and that he took an active part in support of the petition, and that it appears to the commit tee that such a course of proceeding is open to grave objec tion." The proceedings then terminated. own power that which mast necessarily spring from her taking part in a federal combination. But the difficulties connected with Venice are comparatively trifling when compared with those arising from the position of the Pope. At the sum mit of this Italian Confederation is placed the Papacy—the authority, as far as it can be disjoined, not of the Pontiff grasping St. Peter's keys, but of the Prince who administers the gift of Constantine. We say as far as can he disjoined, for the whole difficulty lies in this disjunction. How can the Pope, whose spiritual interests are cosmopolitan and universal, embrace and identify himself with the exclusively national interests of the Federal State ? He cannot identify himself with the inte rests of one Catholic nation in preference to those of another Catholiq nation ; he cannot, as the honorary head of Catholic Italy, become the ally of Catholic France against even Catholic Austria, because all Catholic States, we repeat, equally de mand his care. _ _ Here, then, we have a Confederation of which one of the members will only exert an influence directly hostile to the others, an influence which the whole Italian nation has been endeavouring to overthrow, whilst another of the members, if not directly hostile to, is at least unable to identify himself with, any purely national cause, simply be cause his office embraces all Catholic nations, and cannot be confined to one. It is a question which opens up political considerations far too momentous to be summarily disposed of, but we do not hesitate to affirm that the element of a Papal presidency in the proposed scheme will either render it altogether nugatory or lead to the necessity of including all Catholic States as members of this same Confedera tion.-21forning Post. TllB SERPENTINE. (From the Times.)' The comparison between the two plans for the purification of the Serpentine is that the one has been tried with perfect success and the other, as yet, is a speculation, from which it would be rash to predict any success at all. The lake in St. James's-park is the admiration of everybody who strays into that paradise of children, nurses, and Life Guardsmen. The water is as free from colour and from smell as any lake in the country, and nobody would guess that it had been obtained by artificial means, except that other wise it would not be sweet. As you look at the bottom you have the satisfaction of knowing that London dirt can not come in. That is the result of the operation at St. James's. It is safe to last centuries, and it cost but a trifle. It was stated yesterday that the water filtered through the concrete into the sand below, and was pumped up again ; and the inference was that the process was illusory. The statement itself is illusory. The water is, pumped up from a bed of clear sand, saturated with water not merely from the lake, but from the whole surrounding area open to the rain. The stratum of sand under St. James's Park communicates with a very exten sive area, and so long as the Thames flows it will never be dry. It is said, indeed, that the quick sands under London are becoming drier in the pro cess of ages, and St. Paul's is supposed to have set tled somewhat towards the river in consequence of this change. This would be the natural result of the rain over many thousand acres being inter cepted by houses and pavements, and carried off straight to the Thames. But we may be quite sure that low beds of sand will always hold water quite sufficient for the supply of such ponds as those in our parks. • But what is the other process defended again last night by Mr. Fitzroy, and now backed by Mr. Stephenson's formidable, but not infallible, autho rity ? It is to leave the bed of the Serpentine alone, and to touch only the water. This is to be drawn by engines from the Knightsbridge end into a se parate reservoir at the Bayswater end, there fil tered, and returned into the Serpentine. To purify a lake by taking the water out of it, cleaning it, and throwing it back again, has the merit of origi nality, and we certainly never heard of it before. If it answers, a time must come when the process 'will be wholly superfluous, for if the Serpentine really has no sources of corruption, its water, once puri fied, will always be pure. But Mr. Fitzroy evi dently does not anticipate this perfect success. His two donkey-engines, the elegance of which will disguise their base use, are I o puff and blow for ever. The people of Bayswater and all the region thereabouts aro not to know but -what the engine house is occupied by hermits, or nymphs, or some other sylvan personages. But what graceful ex terior, what columns or buttresses, what pediments or pinnacles can disguise a filtering bed which is to extend over only three-fourths of an acre ? Imagine a pond, a hundred yards long and forty yards wide, filled with Serpentine water, deposit ing organic matter in its bed, which is every now and then to be exposed to the sun, dried, swept, and carted away ! Mr. Fitzroy, indeed, allude's to another process, which, as it is totally incompre• hensible, can exist only in the form of an agreeable dream. He supposes the pure water to flow into the Serpentine, and the dirty water into the Rene legit sewer. As this must be done by mechanical separation, the process cannot but be complicated, and we incline to suspect that Mr. Fitzroy will find his £17,000 sunk in the mud and gone down the sewer before there is any pure water to show for it. At all events, there is this pond of concen trated Serpentine in a constant state of commotion and separation. Contrary to the warning, it is to produce bitter waters and sweet. It is to form at once a lake and a sewer, and not to be a nuisance to anybody. If Mr. Fitzroy feeds the Serpentine with itself, it will only be Serpentine after all, and like feeding a dog with a joint of its own tail. It is only ar guing in a circle. The water is to come from a filtering bed, fed by a . steam engine, supplied by the Serpentine, and meanwhile there is the accumu lated mud of centuries lying no one knows how many feet deep at the bottom of the Serntine, always giving out poisonous gases. Such is the scheme to be substituted for one of the very few plans that have been tried and found to answer. Make the Serpentine, lik e St. James's, a great artificial lake, a mere basin, •or stone tazza. Insulate it wholly from the surrounding soil. Supply it with water as pure as we ought to supply to the fountains in Trafal gar-square, or those at the Crystal Palace, from any depth you please. Contract, if necessary, with the New River Company. If the bed of the river be levelled and sealed with concrete, the water will flow out as pure as it flows in. The levelling of the bottom, and the reduction of the Serpentine to one uniform depth of five feet or so, is only a matter of earthwork, a very light affair compared with many of those in our railways. The bottom levelled, and the concrete laid, the work is done for ever, and the Serpentine will cease to suggest Oen, the imagination of an unsavoury per fume. At press t half the world hold their noses as they pass ; half the 'world snuff the gale as if it came from the Spice Isles. There ought to be n o question at all ; the Serpentine ought n ot even to be suspected. It may be better than it has been, but virtue is not a matter of degree ; we want tne Serpentine to be quite pure. When the g at Com missioner of Public Works to Ki n g Augeas wa,! charged with the purification of his Majesty,. stables, he did not go on pouring over the oxen and the stalls the water that had just flowed from them; he drew the pure water from elsewhere, an i d passed it through, never to return. STATE OF TRADE. LEICESTER, Aug. 10.—There is a good amount of business doing in the hosiery trade, business con tinuing in a healty and satisfactory state. Manu facturers are well engaged, and the operatives fully employed. Stocks are light and future prospects are cheering. In the country districts the hosiery trade is in an active condition. Wools are high in price, and yarns continue stiff, spinners being tolerably well employed. NOTTINGHAM, 10th.—There is very little altera tion to report in the state of the lace trade. A few orders are creeping into the market, and the plain net trade is in a tolerably active state. The im provement in other departments is very slow, and not equal to what it was supposed it would be at the termination of the war. There are several or ders completing for the German market, and' more is expected to be done in a short time. In fancies them is not much doing. Manufacturers are keep ing all kinds of goods low in stock. There are rather more lacemakers employed, but still many hands are but partially engaged. The hosiery trade is in a healthy state. There is not much doing just now for export, but quite as much as is usual at this period of the year. There is also an average amount of business doing in the home trade. Yarns are high in price, and have an upward tendency. The C'harivan gives a caricature, in which a con script is represented as coming to consult his officer after the campaign of Italy. " Captain," he says, " I should like to carry home a souvenir of this country to my sweetheart. The corporal says that the best thing they have produced here is their Raphaels. No'w, would it not be well to carry her back a few of them P" THE ITALIAN CONFEDERATION. There are three points of view from which the proposed scheme of an Italian Confederation may be regarded, and all three have their strong, though separate, claims on the attention of an English statesman. The first thoughts of an Englisli poli tician will naturally be directed to its influence on his own comntry, his second will be employed in determining its effects on Italy, whilst a third, and equally interesting train of speculation will arise on the important changes which an Italian Confe deration must introduce into the whole relations of the European political system. We have already, in referrieg to Lord Elcho's motion, had occalion to examine the last of these three top'cs ; the last is but too likely to become the theme of many a future criticism and comment ; but the examination will scarcely be considered as premature which, with reference to the second—to purely Italirn interests —to those interests which are about to be discussed at Zurich- 7 -we now propose to make. A politician who had no inconsiderable share in the negotiations that took place in 1848 for the for mation of an Italian confederacy has favoured us with his views on the Treaty of Villafranca, as con trasted with the federal project of eleven years back. M. Augusto de Gori, who shared the confi dence and 'assisted at the deliberations - of Antonio Itosmini, Pellegrino Rossi ' and Francesco Bozzelli, and in whose possession the manuscript drafts of their respective proposals still remain, has every right to demand an attentive hearing. His argu ments reproduce the nature convictions of some of the greatest amongt the past statesmen of Italy on the very questions about to be discussed with re ference to its present settlement and to its future • destinies. ' If the Confederation resulting from the peace of Viliafrance is to secure and consolidate Italian in dependence, if it is really to foster Italian nationa lity, if it is to be in good earnest an Italian Con federation, it must comply, if not absolutely, at least in a far greater degree than is at present conceivable, with the four following conditions : The States forming it should be as equally balanced' in power as possible—these States should be wholly independent of all foreign subjection—the confe derated Princes should be national in character rtmi sympathies, not fettered by any anti-national bond; and the confederated States should be, capable of uniting, in their federal capacity, for all national' ends ; they ought not to possess such a character as would naturally and necessarily clash with the political interests of the general league. Tried by these tests, in what light must we re gard the position assigned by the Villafranca Treaty to Venice ? It remains attached as a fief to the Austrian Empire, and yet it is to form part of the Italian Confederation. As a member of the Con federation it must possess an Italian Government and Italian institutions, and dispose of Italian troopS. Of a State thus conceived, a State in the same moment Austrian and Italian, with twelve two n il ot lion sa s y ai t i h d a i t .' h it al is f o t or indifferent, d e i ff ltalian , because Confederation—of a re ecompelled p such olled a fgr millions of subjects belonging to the Germanic Con combination, we federation, N t v h e sh oao ndk,lby belonging politicalatdo declarevvery different u outset s h se at States a; ti butte sis and inconsistenciesquite t h eextentunintelligible. onf et their less populations.insigniThis monstrous contradi c ti on s t r ik es us a t th e are apparent when we exa m i ne th e c h arac t er o f th e cant The Austrian Empire (or its synonyme, Venice) is represented by Naples 9,117,020 Sardinia .... 8,117,047 Papal States Tuscany Modena 604,512 Parma ... 409,835 Inhabitants . 25,751,017 From these numbers it is evident how unequally balanced in power, because in extent and population, would be the different States of the Confederation. There is, first, one of the States, comparatively in significant as regards Italy, yet with overwhelming power and resistless influence from the fact of its forming part of an Empire with forty millions of subjects, and an armed force of six hundred thou sand men. Then there are two States nearly equal in power —one in the north and the other in the south of Italy; and these two States, because the only two important Italian States, would exhibit an unceasing antagonism with the view of obtain ing influence. There would. be three States in Central Italy —the three Duchies —which it would be but charity to regard as the veriest ciphers, now oscillating between Sardinia and Naples, or mov ing like mere puppets, as Austria pulled the str,ngs ; and lastly, right in the centre of this Con federation would exist another State—the Papacy —which, from the spiritual character of its ruler, must remain, in every great national crisis, motion less and neutral, displaying necessarily a negative power of resistance to all the other States without being of the slightest use to any.. Such, and so curiously balanced, would be the States of the pro posed Italian Confederation ! The second condition—that of the independenee of the States of the Confederation from all foreign pressure—is not realised from the moment that there is admitted, as one of the Federal Powers, that very Empire which is regarded by all Italy as its enemy and oppressor; and our witty contemporary was never more successfut in his representations of pass ing events than when he sketched a few days ago a free Italy chained to Venice, and the Emperor Francis Joseph as the inexorable gaoler. Austria might well sacrifice her territory as far the Mincio for the compensatf.ng advantages of her increased federal authority. Strange to say, Austria has effected, after her defeat at Solferino, what she vainly tried to effect after the armistice of Milan in 1848—her recognition as a member of the . ltalian Confederation. Her efforts for that purpose were opposed eleven years ago by Naples and Rome quite a s much as by Sardinia; for all the Italian Powers equally felt their independence threatened by the risk of her adding to the influence derived from her ELECTION COMMITTEES. WITHDRAWAL OF THE PONTEFRACT ELEC• TION PETITION. COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY. Yesterday the committee appointed to inquire into the petition of Mr. Hugh Childers, complain ing of the conduct of the sitting member, Mr. Over end, relative to the withdrawal of the petition against his return, resumed their labours in Com mittee-room No. 17. Mr. Walpole was in the chair, and the other members of the committee, — Mr. Glyn, Lord R. Clinton, Captain Jervis, Mr. Craufurd, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Selwyn,—were all present. Mr. Leeman, who was examined on the previous day (Wednesday), said he wished to add to the evi dence which he__then gave. The witness entered into a long detail of various circumstances more or less connected with the election. Mr. Childers then proceeded to confirm generally the evidence given by Mr. Leeman. He added that he should never have consented to withdraw the petition, except upon the understanding that the question of the seat was to be referred to arbitra tion. If he had ever believed that the seat was not to be referred he should immediately have in Mr. Leeman to decline to sign any agree ment. The first infermatiett-he -received of any difficulty came from Pontefract. He was in formed that Mr. Cariss had stated at the Leeds Club-house that the seat was not in question, but that the petition was withdrawn uncondi tionally. He subsequently saw Mr. Cariss, who said, on the subject being mentioned to him, " Oh, I was only chaffiing; I wasn't going to let them know what we were doing." Subsequently he saw Mr. Rose, who, after some coversation, said the seat had never been in question at all. He imme diately took Mr. Rose to Mr. Leeman to talk the matter over, as up to that time he had never heard a word from Mr. Rose or anybody connected with Mr. Overend that the seat was not included in the reference. When Mr. Rose went to Mr. Leeman witness offered to go for Mr. Baxter. Ultimately he did So, and met him in the street. He took him to Mr. Leeman at Fendall's Hotel, having previ ously told him that, as it was a case in which the honour of several gentlemen was concerned, he simply wished him to hear a statement without requiring him to express any opinion. On the mornings of Tuesday and Wednesday, the 2d and 3d of August, the whole case was gone into between Mr. Rose and Mr. Leeman. Upon one of these occasions Mr. Rose admitted that Mr. Spcfforth had stated to him the conversation which he had with Mr. Leeman as to the re,ference of the seat. Mr. Rose also stated that he had written to Mr. Overend characterising the agreement as "illusory." The Chairman asked Mr. Childers if Mr. Rose said that he had simply written to say the agree ment was illusory, or that he considered that the agreement was illusory ? Mr. Childers said Mr. Rose expressed no decided opinion of his own, but merely implied that he had made such a representation to Mr. Overend. Wit ness then confirmed Mr. Leeman's evidence as to the interview with Lord March. He added that up to the time he went to fetch Mr. Brand, Mr. Over end had most distinctly refused to refer the seat to Lord March, when Mr. Brand could not be found Lord March said, " What am Itodo ?" Some con versation ensued, and Lord March again said, " What can Ido ?" Mr. Leeman 'said, " Well my lord, we withdraw the reference." Mr. Rose at once interposed, and said, " As my honour is at stake ' I should wish the inquiry to go on ;" where upon Mr. Overend said, " I think so too. I consent that Lord March shall decide upon the prelimi nary inquiry." Mr. Leeman rejoined, "It is now too late." Mr. Wilkinson, London agent of Mr. Childers, was then called. After corroborating the evidence of Mr. Leeman in reference to various interviews between the different parties, he proceeded to say —I was at Fendairs Hotel when the agreements were exchanged, and I recollect Mr. Childers mak ing an observation in reference to the issue of a new writ. He said he thought the writ ought to be issued as early as possible, so that he 'might be returned and take his 'seat this session. I said, "The session is now nearly at an end, and it does not matter whether you take you seat or, not, so long as you are returned." Both Mr. Rose and. Mr. Spofforth were present, but they mide no com ment. Mr. Leeman said to Mr. Rose, " What I propose to do is to open my brief to you, and go into each case as it arises. We shall have no diffi- _ulty, and in a very little time we shall be able to clear the ground so as to leave a very narrow ques tion for the decision of Lord March." A conversa tion then took place as to Mr. Rose's engagements. Mr. Spofforth said that if Mr. Rose could not at tend it would be necessary to employ counsel. I said, if we have counsel, we shall incur the expense, we are so anxious to avoid. The subject then drop ped. As the London agent of Mr. Childers I advised him as to what ought to be done in the matter. I was down at the election for four or five days, but took no great part in it. I should certainly not have allowed Mr. Childers to withdraw the peti tion on any other terms than the reference of the seat to arbitration. A heavy expense was already incurred, and we had such a case against Mr. Overend that it was impossible for us to withdraw the petition upon any other terms. Our case was perfectly conclusive, and having ascertained the persons upon whom the Speaker's warrants had been served on the other side we were satisfied that there was nothing whatever against Mr. Childers, and we looked upon the seat as certain. The only question was how we could best avoid a heavy ex pense. Cross-examined by Mr. Baxter—The reason why there was an argument before the arbitrator was because it was stated that the seat never was in question. Mr. Leeman attempted to open the re ference, when Mr. Overend at once interposed. There was a good deal of discussion, Mr. Overend endeavouring to prevent our going into the ques tion, and Lord March began to feel more distinctly the position in which he might be placed in a matter involving the jurisdiction of a committee of the house. Mr. Leeman was very indignant at not being allowed to state the main case. If the seat were': not in question we had nothing to do there. In the course of his observations Mr. Leeman made some remarks which evidently hurt Mr. Rose, and almost electrified him, for he jumped up from his seat and moved away to another one, saying that he hoped Lord March would not attend to anything of that kind. This being the whole of the evidence on the part of the petitioner, Mr. Rose was then examined by Mr. Baxter, and in detail gave a succinct statement of what had taken place between himself and Mr. Leeman relative to the agreement for the arbitration of Lord March, and said he most distinctly under stood throughout that the question as to the seat was not included in the reference, and he had told Mr. Overend so, and was always under that im pression; he assured the committee be had acted in full belief that such was the case. Mr. Cariss was called, and spoke to what took place between him and Mr. Wilkinson at Ponte- ?met. Mr. Overe n d was then examined. He repeated in substa nce hi s s t atemen t b e f o re the house on Wednesday, and s t a t e d th a t h e had given the most positive and distinct instructions to Mr. Carissthat he would consent to no agreement of reference as a condition for the withdrawal of the petition that would leave the question as to the seat open. He had from the first the fullest determination not to do so, and always understood it formed no part of the agreement. When before Lord March, Mr. Leeman argued the question of his going into the reference as to the seat, and he was followed by Mr. Rose, insisting that the question of the seat was to form no part of the reference. His first op position was to the reading of Mr. Rose's letter; but as he found it affected the male fides of Mr. Rose, he withdrew his opposition, and had done so two hours before; but he declined to assent to going into the question of the seat. Lord March said he be lieved there was bona fides on both s'des, and it was difficult to determine. Mr. Cariss had written down what Lord March had said, when Lord March said he had decided nothing, and the paper should be torn up, which he (Mr. Overend) did at once. Mr. Leeman then withdrew from the inquiry. He told him that he had consented to the preliminary in quiry being gone into two hours before, but Mr. Leeman said it was too late. Mr. Leerncn after wards spoke to him in the lobby, and said the matter should not stop there, and that he (Mr. Overend) had better be in his place in the house that night. He requested him not to tease him, as Cross-examined b y he ',lad enough o f it. Mr. Leeman—Was positive TEE DOVER POSTAL CONT4.-.C,T-. IN I; P.A PE The Select Committee on Packet 7 [hic Contracts, 1859, has agreed to the RO tvina re _ port :- 1. The attention of your corn fie, during ,g , Z) the short time which has elapsed sin't , wem:=4,4 1 ,1., - ; appointed irected t , has been chiefly d packet service.for Dover. Si " 2. A'contract, dated April 1, 1854, to continue until Oct. 1, 1858, was entered into with Messrs. Jenkings and Churchward (who had offered the lowest terms by public tender), for conveying the mails between Dover and Calais and Dover and . Ostend. " 3. An agreement was signed on or about June 20, 1855, substituting for the above contract another,. extending the term from Oct. 1, 1858, until June 20, 1863; this extension, which was agreed to by the Admiralty without previous con sultation with the Treasury or the Post-office, does not appear, from the evidence laid before this corn; mittee, to have been made with due care and con sideration for the public intere.7t. " 4. On April 26, 1859, an, agreement was en tered into, again substituting another contract, further extending the term until April 26, 1870. Your committee have failed to discover ficient public grounds to justify this exten sion, which appears to have been conceded by the Treasury on the recommendation of the Admiralty, but in opposition to the views of the Postmaster- . General, and, as appears to the committee, without sufficient inquiry into the grounds upon which the claim for the extension of the contract was pre ferred. _ _ "5. It is in evidence before this committee that Mr. Cb.urchward, one of the contractors, on the eve of the last general election, at the time when the exten s i on o f hi s con t r a c t was under considera tion at the Treasury, volunteered his support, as an influential elector for Dover, to the Hon. Cap tain Carnegie, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, if he should become a candidate for that borough, on the expectation that his contract was to be ex tende4, and expriseased his intention, if required, to vote for two Government candidates for Dover ; though, the committee think it right to add that the renewal of the contract had been recom mended by the Ad m i ra lt y t o th e T reasury a t least six weeks before the date of the conversa tion referred to, and that it appears to your com mittee that the officers with whom the decision of the questionyested, that neither the Amdiralty nor the Treasury were influenced in granting the re newal of the contract by any corrupt or political. motive. Your committee consider that the con duct of Mr. Murray, the private secretary of the First Lord of the Admiralty, was open to grave censure, but they have not sufficient evidencd to show that any member of the Government was cognisant of the conversation between Mr. Mur ray, Mr. Churchward, and Captain Carnegie. "6. While most anxious for the fulfilment of all engagements entered into in good faith be tween the Government and individuals, the com mittee submit for the consideration of the House whether Mr. Churchward, in having resorted to corrupt expedients affecting injuriously the character of the representation of the people in Parliament, has not rendered it impossible for the House of Commons, with d ue regar d t o it s h onour and dignity, to vote the sums of money necessary to fulfil the agreement to extend Mr. Churchward's contract from the 20th of June, 1863, to the 26th. of April, 1870. "7. Although some evidence has been taken re specting the general management of the postal packet service, the committee abstain, in the pre sent incomplete state of their inquiry, from offering any opinion on the subject, beyond the expression of a desire that the important matters referred for their investigation may be again brought under the notice of a committee at the earliest opportunity." STATE 01 7 NAPLES. (Ftom a Corl•espondent of the Times.) NAPLES, Aug. 6.—A young Sovereign, especially one educated as Francis 11. has been, has much claim on the consideration of the public. Criticism may well be silent for a short time where youth and inexperience have to contend with so many difficulties. But there is a limit to this indulgence, for by overlooking acts we are liable to do a seri ous injustice to another party, consisting of some millions of human souls. Three months have now passed since Francis 11, assumed the reins of power. If we examine, however, step by step, all that has been done, we shall meet with nothing but what is calculated to disap point and to create disgust. These, I assure you, are not mere words—they are confirmed by patent facts, and it would at first sight appear as if my Lord Sohn Russell must be either misin formed or ill-informed when he says that the "Kingdom of Naples is, I believe, becoming greatly improved." At present, I believe it is, if possible, in a worse state than it was, and I will tell you why. Because, while the Government affects to do something it does nothing, and lives on the prestige which it has created by false appearances. I last week sent . you an ac count of the illegal and infamous deportation of persons to the island of Capri—of men who have been shut up in prison for three years without trial. A greater insult was never offered to England, for her Minister has insisted more on the liberation of these men than upon any other point whatever, and yet, after renewing rela tions with this Power in buona fede, that conces sions would be the o: der of the day—with a fleet in . the Bay and a Minister pressing for conciliatory measures-30 untried men are manacled and tied to a long rope, and sent into exile. The fleet went over to Castellamare for ball prac tice on Thursday morning last, leaving here the Centurion and the Exmouth. The Euryalus and the Lapwing left Naples on Tuesday morning, 'and the Caradoc went out with Captain Yelverton on Monday night to Malta. Captain Yelverton has been appointed to the Coast-guard, and was therefore called on to give up his command of the Conqueror, to which Captain Clifford, late of the Centaur, has been appointed. I never witnessed a prettier scene in my life. I was sitting in one of the cabins of the Centurion when the silence of the evening was broken by a " Hip, hip, hip, hurrah." How such sounds stir one's blood in a foreign land! Rushing to the win dow, cite could just discern in the dusk of the evening all the - yards of the Conqueror manned. Then the land breeze brought down to us the sounds of " Should auld acquaintance be forgot," &c., played by the band. A launch shot off from the vessel, a profusion of blue lights were let off, and Captain Yelverton ceased to command the Con queror. He was a great and universal favourite, and deserved the unusual honours he received. It would be well for our navy if many captains would take a lesson from him.

First, manacles were put on him, and then a thin cord was bound tightly round the wrists His cries were tremendous—" Kill me, kill me ! But don't torture me ! " The Inspector ordered the in strument of silence to be put on, and a piece of wood was put in his mouth, and tied to the back of his head. During the torture a young advocate entered the office, and claimed the protection of the law for Casella, but was thrust out with insults.

PAUPERISM. —In the fourth P OOR RATES .AND week of June last there was a decrease of pauperism in England and Wales amountiu,s- to 31,165 persons, or 3.74 per cent. In the m etro p olis the decrease was 1 . 81 per cent., and we rejoice to add that the decrease of pauperism was without exception throughout all the districts. The same may be said of the other three weeks of the month of June, the general decrease having been respectively 4.36, 4.19, and 4.08 per cent. The principal manufacturing districts of the country exhibit the equally satisfactory result of a decline of pauperism.
