The works seleCtod, with the approval of G overn ment, for first operations, consist of—lrrigating and Navigable Canals throughout the rich and extensive Penes of Orissa (in Lower Bengal); and the Districts between those, Deltas And the Port and City of Calcutta. • These works have been already investigated by Engineer Officers in the service of Government, of known ability and experience, who have 'pronounced them to be amongst the most important, and in promise the most profitable of their character in India; in fact, the present Secretary of State for India in Council in March last addressed to the Government of India an official communication, calling attention to the importance of constructing these very Works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by the Local Government. A desire to see, an unguaranteed company established, he states, led to their concession to this company. The main sources of profit will be : Firstly,—The sale of water to the Government for the irrigation of land. ,Secondly..: Tolls levied in respect of the use, of the Canal s and - Water-war, by the public. • To these maybe added as available but subsidiary means of alditional returns : I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories established on the banks of the various channels. 3.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce raised upon the land of the Company. And, 4.—Tha supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of them has been already ascertained to be highly productive in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals in the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per centage upon outlay. The following returns realised by the Government on ex isting works of Irrigation in India will afford some idea of the highly remunerative character of such works, if selected With ordinary judgment. The works connected with the Coleroon River cost £21,700, and for sixteen years returned a net profit of £llB per cent. per annum. The Fordwak Canal cost £2,700, and paid £5,000 in the first year. Another canal in Scinde•paid 68 per cent. on its coat during the first year, and a third, which cost £3,600, produced £5,000 in the first year. The Western Jumna Canal has paid £5 per cent., and produced a clear surplus of £1,000,000, the Goat of construc tion being £81,458. The works in Maiwara produced a return of 265 per cent. per annum. These are not exceptional instances. Terms of a very favourable character have been arranged with the Secretary of State as the basis of a final Agree ment, to be made with the Government of India a t Calcutta. It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in stance, to the sum of £1,000,000, divided into 60,000 shares of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of £1 per share only, with a further payment of per share when the final agreement has been concluded; this will, it is believed, suffice to support effective operations for the first twelve months. Of all subsequent calls, fall and timely notice Will be given to each shareholder. A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may now be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can non •street E.C. London ; or at the Company's Bankers, Messrs.

The price is so moderate that it is within the reach of all, and it is fitted without springs or other unsightly fastenings. The removal of stumps is unnecessary, and thus all pain is avoided.

Tli.E INSURRECTION IN; SICILY. r (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) MESSINA, AUG. 6. General Clary has returned, but nothing took place calculated to clear up the position. One thing, however, seems certain—that the direct negotiations between Turin and Naples are con tinuing. The armistice is nominally at an end, but in reality it is prolonged to an indefinite period, which may last for weeks, or be ended in a day. Our preparations for further operations are not completed ; there is, consequently, no urgent neces sity for resuming the offensive. This will leave time to those who wish for negotiations. But they had better make haste, for if they do not come to some understanding soon they will find us all at once on the other side, and, once in movement, ne gotiation will scarcely stop Garibaldi's advance. Although willing that negotiations should take place between Piedmont and Naples, our General by no means intends to let his operations he in: fluenced or retarded by. them. He will wait while it is convenient, and no longer. . I hear the Neapolitans think this rather unfair and complain. They want to represent this evacu ation of TVlessina as a kind of concession, in return for which Garibaldi was to wait for the issue of negotiations. This is making a merit of necessity. Messina must be defended from the heights, and these once lost the town can be shelled and becomes untenable. The original intention was to do this, and Clary was from the beginning averse to Bosco's expedition, his intentions being to concentrate all his forces and defend the heights. Even when he consented to Bosco's expedition the latter was ex pressly cautioned against shutting himself up in Melazzo ; he was to fall back on Gesso, and unite with the force which was to be collected to defend the heights. Bosco's . defeat made the defence of the heights almost impossible, and under the circum stances it was wiser to think of withdrawing the troops rather than expose a great part of them to be cut off. That Clary himself or the Neapolitan Government thought so appears from the circum stance that the greater part of the troops was withdrawn before ever our columns came in sight. Not only .the heights, but the town itself, was well-nigh abandoned by them. The convention with Medici referred only to the withdrawal of the materiel and the evacuation of the forts of Gonzaga and Salvador. The second convention, concluded by Garibaldi himself, on the 7th inst., decided the evacuation of Syracuse and Agosta, and the steamers and transports were actually sent ; but, although the time of the armistice is past, the evacuation has not yet taken place ; so the condi tion is not fulfilled. It seems that orders came to the contrary from Naples. In no respect, therefore, can Garibaldi be considered as bound to wait for the convenience of the Neapolitans, and thus lose an opportunity which will not occur again. • Several persons who saw Clary after his return from Naples were assured by him that in case the Neapolitan ships should be fired upon from the Faro he would bombard Messina and drive out our troops. Whatever Clary's own views may be they will not long prevail, for his successor is named — General Fergola, whose arrival is expected daily. • Clary's conversations, which have been hawked about the town, have had the effect of frightening the timid and filling their imaginations with shells and ruins. I, for my part, don't much believe in these threats, convinced as I am that the bom bardment of Palermo was so severe a lesson to the Neapolitan Government that it will not easily fall again into the same error. Besides, before a bom bardment could take place the men-of-war and merchant vessels would have to leave, and this would give time for any one else inclined to follow their example. Almost every day brings vessels to the Faro with troops and munitions of war. Although a great part of the first are scattered in the neighbourhood of Messina, sufficient remains to give . to the town a military appearance. In the hurry to clothe and accoutre thetroops no general pattern uniform could be adopted, and in most cases the individual fancy . of the Commander has it all his own way. Red caps, white caps. blue caps, with peaks and without peaks, with the cypher of Victor Emmanuel or a bugle, round Garibaldi hats ; gray blouses, trimmed with red, red blouses of flannel, cotton, linen, dark coloured ones, or of dark-gray mixture ; trousers, equally different, give the whole force a mirch more picturesque appearance than a regular uniform would do. Indeed, you recognise the different corps from their dress. Dark gray blouses indicatethe con tingents of Afedici and Cosenz, the difference being in a bluer shade of the latter. Red blouses and red caps denote Sicilian levies, red blouses and blue caps, the brigades formed of those who remain from the first expedition. White blouses with red trimmings and a peakiess cap, what is called the English Battalion, from a number of English officers and sailors who have left their ships. For an eye accustomed to distinguish troops, there is no necessity of the uniform to distinguish continentals from Sicilians. The first are, almost to a man, made soldiers, while the latter are in a transition state. But the material exists here as everywhere else in Italy, it requires but a little time to make it as fit for service as any other. The surgeons who have to visit the new-comers, are astonished at the forms of the great mass of the Sicilians. If the soul corresponded with the body they might make the finest soldiers in the world. But they require a strong mixture with the con tinental or northern element. Nor is there any want of this. According to letters from Genoa, not less than 6,000 men are again ready to arm, and numbers more are daily putting down their names, The Lombards have taken the initiative, and form a large proportion of those who come over. Above all, the.towns of Pavia and Bergamo seem to have sent off all their youth in masses. Venetia and Austrian Tyrol are likewise strongly represented, so is the Riviera di Genoa. Almost all the volunteers who served last year during the war have found their way here, and not not neglect aefroot the w w ho hadop opportunity u opportunitynity offered last year didnow. Lawyers, medical men, students, merchants, trades mm e u n s k , have et. l abandoned s t u h e p i p r e c r a r l e t e a r l y t , o shoulderabove the musket. he the provinces which were, or are still, under Austrian rule, will become conspicuous by their warlike propensity. This may be of great consequence to Italy ; it will give an altogether new turn to the mind of those populations, and be a more power ful engine of regeneration than anything else which could be devised. Nor can this be with out effect on the rest of Italy. The example will draw after it many who under other cireum stances, would never have thought of making a na tional crusade. Garibaldi works the right way; It is scarcely necessary to observe, and it would be useless to dissimulate, that all that is done now is only preparation for the Mi - ncio and Po. Before beginning the last and decisive struggle which must make Italy free there must be union of forces between the North and the South. How this ulti mate hope is uppermost in all minds could be seen a few days ago, when the rumour spread that the Austrians had crossed the Mincio. The rumour spread like wildfire, and Sicily and Naples were willingly forgotten in'the excitement of the moment. Every one expected to be led immediately against the Austrians. The batteries on the Faro point are getting into shape ; two heavily armed ones have already their guns in position, and can open - fire whenever it may IA thought convenient. The others are preparing, and will probably to-morrow or the day after have their armament. The diversity .of armament is just as great as that in the uniform. One might make a history of the progress in gunnery and fire arms, from the Enfield and Swiss rifle down to the flint-lock metamorphosed into a percussion gun, with no few specimens of old Brown Bess. In guns in the same way, 68-pounder ship guns, long and short 32, 24, and 18 -pounder 7siege guns, bridge, field, mountain guns, &c. Any one but Garibaldi would have despairei of ever making anything out of this cabinet, but the great genius of our General consists in using what ever he has to the best advantage. Of the preparations for crossing it would be too early to speak, but I can assure you they are get ting on fast enough. The diplomatists have no time to lose, for events will not wait for them. In popular movements and with popular armies no time can be lost. A. short respite after a success is not only useful,—nay, necessary, but all along de lays are a decided disadvantage. The otia of gar rison life are not for us ; they deteriorate our troops, while active campaigning keeps them in a state of healthy excitement. This afternoon Garibaldi was to have passed in review the first category of the town of Messina. You will remember that this first category, includ ing all men from 17 to 30, is to form what may be called the active army, while the second, from 30 to 40, and the thjrd, from 40 to 50, are to be a kind of stationary. foirce for the security of the garrison and town. Such an idea of an armed nation is by no means.to - the taste of the Sicilians, and long discus sions have taken place to modify this principle. A levy of 2 per cent. of the population was at last fixed, and this is to be carried out this month. But even this the Sicilians tried to shirk. The commune bought a certain number of volunteers, and now tries to pass them off as part of their' contingent to the levy. I need not tell you how repugnant an idea of this kind is to Garibaldi, who, always ready for sacrifices himself, cannot understand that any one else should not be as well disposed. However, *he cannot entertain any illusions in this respect now, and he sees at the same time the necessity of leaving this country in a state of defence, in case his star leads him further on, Messina, being th'e most exposed, requires to be likewise the best prepared, and the review this afternoon was to be a first step to carry out the idea of a general armament.

(From the Correspon c e e In of the Times.) 1 3F,YROUT, AUG. 2. I landed this morning from the French steamer Euphrate, of the Messageries Imperiales, which left Marseilles on the 22d o f last month ; and, as the post leaves at four o'clock this afternoon, I have had but little time as yet for inquiries, or to do more than faire acte de presence. We had on board the Euphrate an intendant militaire, with his subor dinates, 19 in all,.who had bean despatched to pre pare for the reception of t h e French army of occu pation in Syria. Colonel Osmond, of the French staff, with whom I travelled from Marseilles to Malta, had previously arrived, and his mission is, I fancy, more diplomatic than military, at least - for the present. As commandesng de la place at Eupa toria during the Crimean War h e w ill be favour ably remembered in Engla n d , wh il e t h e s uccess which followed his more recent mission to Nice proves how well qualified he - is for the present pur pose. Nevertheless, it will scarcely be deemed a mis fortune that he should have arrived after Fuad Pasha's departure for DaMaacus, since whatever the Turkish Minister map do there will not be under the influence of forei v ; pressure, but of his own free will and sense of justice. In saying this I do not allude to France in Part i cu l ar, b u t to every foreign Power in general ; for unless the Govern ment of the Sultan can vindicate his authority among his subjects -without b e i ng compelled or urgently advised to do so— unless the Porte can ex hibit independence and Power of initiative, the integrity of the Ottoman P._ 'Which, for the sake of napire is a mere sham , humanity and civilisation, and even in the interests of the Turkish populations themselves, had better be permitted to cease. It is therefore essential, as a measure of self-preserva tion, that the Porte should exercise, without control or instigation from friendly States, the high prero gatives of sovereign power by the signal punish ment of all among its subjects who, in contempt of its authority, have been guilty of rapine and mur der. If I esteem it fortunate that Colonel Osmond should not have seen Fuad Pasha, I conceive it equally fortunate that Major Fraser, who arrived here yesterday morning o n a similar mission from the English Government, should likewise not have seen the Turkish Minister; for before England be comes further pledged to maintaining the Ottoman Empire, or involved in measures for its defence which may entail the sacrifice cf English treasure and English livas, let us, in. Heaven's name, have satisfactory evidence that the sovereignty of the Porte can be upheld for some reasonable length of time, and that the process by which it is to be effected is practicable and worth the cost. If not, or if England and the Western Powers are to be called upon to make an armed intervention—at one time against a foreign foe like Russia, and at an other against internal enemies like the Moslem On the other hand, it is said the Turkish Empire possesses elements of vitality little dreamt of in Europe—a vitality as tenacious and invincible as any. Few Western States, it is urged, could have supported a foreign invasion, an armed occupation, and a social revolution, as Turkey did from 1854 to 1856. Persons who take this view argue that— " Mieua vaut un sage ennemi Qu'un maladroit ami." And all the evils of Turkey, they contend, proceed from the maladroitness of the Sultan's friends, whose representatives or ambassadors at Constanti nople lower his dignity and diminish his authority by the imperious tone of their remonstrances, and the de haut en bas style in which they convey the advice of their respective Cabinets. The Porte has undertaken reforms of the greatest moment, which are the object of suspicion and hatred by all " true believers"—that is to say, the majority of the Mos lem population. Nothing but the absolute and theocratic despotism of the Sultan can secure their adoption, and it does seem the height of folly to en feeble his authority in the eyes of his subjects. Such, in a few words, are the rival opinions of persons out here. Which is the right one time will shortly show, for the settlement of the Eastern question is rapidly approaching. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 6. Our latest intelligence from Beyrout into the 2d inst., and was brought by the French mail steamer, which leaves to-morrow for Marseilles. Since the arrival of Fuad Pasha and Admiral Martin ,hings have continued pretty quiet in the neigh- bourhood of the city ; and although very little con• fidence is expressed in the ability of the Turkish Governor to maintain permanent peace and order, yet the presence of Fuad Pasha and the measures he haL taken were, to a certain extent, producing a tranquilising effect upon the minds of the public. Kurschid Pasha, the late Governor of Beyrout, his secretary and dragoman, have been sent to Con stantihople, and they have been followed by the civil and military commanders of Deir-el-Kamar. On the 27th ult., Fuad Pasha left for Damascus, whence Achmet Pasha, the Governor, had likewise already been sent to the capital. These men, there can be little doubt, go to Con stantinople feeling 'tolerably confident in their own minds that, whatever danger there may be, it is more threatening to their pockets than to their persons. Their cashboxes, they must reflect, are sure to lose very much in weight, but that is no reason why they themselves should do the same. Turkish Pashas can look upon such matters with sufficient .•erenity of mind. All is ordained by fate; and, after all, those infidel dogs will presently cease their howling to begin snarling at each other, ac cording to their wont. Snug berths will then soon be found, where empty coffers can without much trouble or difficulty be replenished. There is no scarcity of good posts in the wide dominions of the Sultan, and whether the wherewithal be extracted from Christians or from true believers will matter very little. Such, we know, is the train of reason ing to which Turkish officials, high and low, uni versally have recourse when in trouble or disgrace, and it but rarely happens that they are disap pointed. Whether, however, in this particular in stance the parties will find themselves mistaken, and their conduct be subjected to a strict and im partial investigation, is a question upon which few persons in this part of the world will venture to pronounce themselves. - Since the arrival of Fuad Pasha at Damascus, on the 30th ult., the only news is that he refused to receive the members of the Divan when they called upon - him ; that the Christians had received permis sion to leave the place, which they were prevented from doing before ; and that some 2,000 persons had ,availed themselves of the liberty, and were seeking refuge at various places on the coast, chiefly at Beyrout. From Jaffa we learn that the panic lately pre valent there had likewise subsided since the arrival of the British and French vessels of war. All per sons entering the town were disarmed at the gates. The French Rear-Admiral and the French Com mander had paid a visit to Jerusalem, where Turkish soldiers had been, placed to keep guard over the Christian churches and convents. De tachments of troops had likewise been sent to Caipha, Nablous, and Bethlehem ; but as may naturally be supposed, after the recent conduct of the Turkish soldiers, these measures do not contri bute much towards the establishment of any sort of general feeling of security. The Viceroy of Egypt has been at little pains to clnceal his disappointment and chagrin at not having been asked to send a body of troops to Syria, to assist in quelling the disturbances, and he has been still more free in exhibiting his feelings of anxiety and annoyance at the idea of an interven tion by means of French troops. People differ somewhat in their modes of accounting for the cir cumstance, but perhaps, like many private indivi duals, Said Pasha prefers his friends when they are at some distance. The news of the loan that has been contracted by the Egyptian Government has probably before this become known in Europe. Here the matter re mained a profound secret until the arrival, some days ago, of the Viceroy's agent, Drancht Bey. The latter left for Paris by the Calcutta mail with the contract duly signed.' The . sum is understood to be 20,000,000 f., and the money is advanced by the Bureau d'Escompte, through the banking-house of Laffitte, without security, at 6 per cent. per annum interest and 3 per cent. commission. The object of th 9 loan is to assist in paying off the Govern ment bonds in circulation, amounting to about £2,250,000 sterling, and the due dates of which ex tend over a period of about three years from the present time. This, it is stated, forms an express part of the contract, and i Said Pasha, moreover, binds himself for the future to maintain the amount of floating debts within the limit of 4,000,000 f. In the event, however, of any unforeseen emergency • he will be at liberty to exceed that sum ; but in such case the first option to discount the bonds he may propose to issue shall be offered to his French credi tors. Since the promulgation of this news the rate of discount upon Government Bonds has declined to the extent of 2to 3 per cent. The present rate varies from about 13 per cent. for long paper—say, of two to three years, to 15 per cent. for bonds of three to four months. Many persons here look grave at the idea of the country being • involved in a debt in which they imagine the French Government may not be with oat interest. But, even granting that this were so, the amount is as yet comparatively so small, being scar3ely three months' revenue, that it would be premature to feel alarm on the subject. If a determined course of economy be persistently ad hered to, the sum will .be sufficient to render it an easy task to free the Government from the debts which have latterly been assumilig the form of an intolerable burden, and which threatened to become a source of perpetual embarrassment. All that is required* therefore, is that the Viceroy should per severe in his present good intentions of economy, and, if so, even though, in contracting a loan, he may have exceeded the strict limits of his legiti mate power, it may, perhaps, be most expedient for those who wish the country well to close their eyes to the irregularity of the proceeding. In speaking of the debts of the Egyptian Government I have, however, not taken into account the 32 millions sterling incurred by. the Viceroy's subscription to the Isthmus of Suez Canal scheme. It is certainly the most unfortunate of all, for although it will doubtless become more and more apparent that whatever is spent on the Isthmus or on either of its shores is irretrievably gone, yet there is but little hope that the parties concerned will relax the hold they have got of the Viceroy. Indeed, it • may be well if the, penalty he will have to pay be confined .to the loss of merely the portion of the capital, large as it is, for which he has given his name. GREAT YARMOUTH REGATTA.—This affair came off on Tuesday. The prize of £5O offered for first •class yachts was not competed for. The second-class yacht prize of £3O was won by the Belvidere, of Yarmouth. The wea ther was fine, and the proceedings passed off very agree ably. The interment of the victims whose lives were sacrificed by the late fatal gun explosion at Arch cliff Fort has taken place to-day. As before an nounced the funeral of Lieut. Thompson was strictly private ; but the interment of Sergeant Monger was attended by the fullest military honours. It took place this afternoon amidst such demonstrations of woe as have never before been witnessed in the town of Dover. Nearly the whole of the shops were closed, and despite .a pouring rain which de scended in sad accompaniment to the mournful obsequies of the occasion, the streets were thronged with spectators. Applications to join- the funeral procession were received from the commanding officers of a number of artillery corps belonging to the Cinque Ports and the countyl of Kent; and in a few instances similar requests had been forwarded from places beyond these limits. Applications to the same effect had also been received from each of the regiments sta tioned in the garrison and from the Royal Artillery. The civil authorities also evinced their respect by a request to attend, in which they were joined by the clergy and a number of the most influential townsmen. In short, -there appeared on all hands a desire to exhibit the deepest tokens of respect which could possibly be manifested; and the fact that a volunteer should have been interred with such honours as the remains of the ill-fated Sergeant Monger have received to-day proves no less the hold the volunteer movement has taken upon the public sympathies than sorrow for the lot of those who have suffered by this most melancholy even: The funeral cortege started at about half-past two o'clock from the Military Hospital, Western Heights, to which the remains of Sergeant Monger were taken immediately after the accident, and from which they had not been removed at all until they were taken to their last resting •place. The pro cession was headed by a firing party of the Royal Artillery, followed by the bands of the Dover Vo lunteer Artillery Corps, the 60th Rifles, the 47th, and the Royal Artillery. The corpse, borne on a gun carriage drawn by seven horses, followed, the two clergymen who were to perform the funeral service walking a little in advance in full canonicals. The pall, a union jack, was borne by four of the deceased's brother sergeants, viz., Sergeants Iggul den, Beaufoy, Cotterel, and Ellenger. The body was followed by a mourning coach, which was occupied by the near relatives of the deceased, after which the procession moved in the undermentioned order :-Ist (Dover) Cinque Ports Artillery, Royal Artillery, 47th Regiment, 60th Rifles, 24th Kent Rifles, sth Cinque Port Rifles, 6th Canterbury Rifles, 6th Kent (Chatham) Rifles, sth Canterbury Rifles, -2d Cinque Port Rifles 9th S;urrey Rifles, Ist Com pany Cinque Ports Rifles, Civil Service (London) Rifles, London Rifle Brigade, 4th Northampton, 4th Cinque Ports Rifles, 11th Kent Artillery, Deal and Walmer. Artillery, 22d Cinque Ports Ar tillery, 3d Cinque Ports Artillery, Ramsgate Artillery, Folkestone Artillery, 2d South Middle sex Rifles,Dover Volunteer Cadet Artillery Corps, Corporation preceded by Mace, covered with Crape, Local Clergy, Dover Volunteer Rifles. One of the most touching features of the proces sion was the presence of some representatives of the Dover Volunteer Cadet Corps, in the formation of which the late Lieut. Thompson took a very active and conspicuous part. Each boy of this corps wears a uniform cap, the scarlet band of which on this occasion was covered with crape. The procession passed through lawkesbury street, Strond-street, Snargate-street, King-street, and Queen-street, to the cemetery of St. Mary, where the interment took place. Throughout the proceedings rain descended incessantly, but this seemed to have no effect whatever on the crowds, which were so closely wedged as to render some of the streets almost impassable. The remains of Lieut. Thompson were interred in a private manner in the family vault in the churchyard of Sibertswould, a village about 6 miles from Dover. The only persons present at the funeral beyond the deceased gentleman's immediate connections were Capt. Wollaston, Lieut. Court, Lieut. Stilwell (officers of the artillery volunteers), and Mr. S. Finnis, the treasurer. Some idea of the respect in which the late Mr. Thompson was held may be gathered from what transpired at the meeting of the town council, held yesterday, when Alderman Astley, who is also a ciptain in the volunteer carps, gave expression in a most feeling-speech to the esteem felt for the late Mr. Thompson by the corporation and his fellow townsmen generally, and concluded by moving— " That this council cannot proceed to the election of a successor to the late Mr. G. T. Thompson, the coroner of this borough, without first recording an expression of their heartfelt sorrow at the loss which the corporation and the borough have sus tained by the sudden and untimely removal from the useful sphere he filled amongst them. Upright inlife, urbane in manner, intellectual in his pur suits, and distinguished for taste in art, he was a very valuable citizen, and commended himself to the warm regards of all associates. And the council, in com mon with theiffellow•townsmen, deeply lament the distressing accident which has cut off in the prime of life one so greatly esteemed, and who has so long discharged the duties of an officer of this corpora tion to their entire satisfaction." Mr. Worsfold seconded the resolution, deeply deploring, like those who had preceded him, the cause which rendered such a motion necessary, and which called forth their testimony to the worth of a gentleman whom no one could value more than himself. The resolu tion was carried by acclamation. At the same meet ing it was resolved that a stained window should be erected in the Town-hall, by public subscription, to the memory of the late Mr. Thompson. At the Town-hall the corporate flag has been half-masted since the day of the accident, so completely has the sad event been regarded as a calamity over which the town mourns. FATAL PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER. Yesterday morning Mr. William Carter, coroner for the eastern division of Surrey, held an enquiry at the Fox Tavern, Castle-street, Southwark, into the circumstances attending the death of George Mitchell, aged 32, an engineer in the service of Messrs. Easton and Amos, engineers of the Grove, Guildford-street, Southwark,.who lost his life in a pugilistic encounter in Battersea-fields with a fel low workman of the name of William Williams, at present in custody on the charge, together with two other men, who acted as seconds at the fight. Mr. Fletcher, solicitor, attended to watch the proceed ings on behalf of the friends of the deceased ; and Mr. W. Edwin appeared for the man Williams and the two seconds, William Davis and Henry Walker. Mary Mitchell, the wife of the deceased, identi fied the body. Mr. Henry Leach, surgeon, of No. 22, Union street, deposed that on Sunday morning he was called upon to see the deceased at his house, No. 3 Cottage place, and found him lying on three chairs in an insensible condition, his breathing being slow and laboured. Witness examined his person and found his face contused in several places, especially his eyes and temples, neck, and behini the right ear. He expired on the Monday afternoon. On cutting into the scalp he found the left muscle of the tem ple full of blood. The dura mater itself was in a highly congested state, and there was another large clot of blood on the posterior part of the right side, also under the exterior, injuries which had arisen from the rupture of another vessel of the brain. He attributed the rupture of the vessels to a blow or number of blows. By the Coroner—The cause of death was the effusion from the ruptured vessels of the brain,which in his judgment were the result of external injuries. Such injuries would be likely to be received in a pugilistic encounter. Had not the least hesitation in saying that the deceased died a violent death. John Kayan, engineer, residing in White-street, St. George's, after being duly cautioned by the coroner, deposed that he witnessed the fight. The contest lasted about half an hour, during which Mitchell fell and Williams on him, men Eys seeming m e in gto Coroner— b ev l e n ry one round determined. William snh el e i the r l fell. The on t h fi e g f h a t e e w a o a r a c v h e e r s y t , furiousan and he immedi ately oo hituoneeMhpoirtteh c sent appeared to try and prevent the men from fighting. The seconds were Davis and Walker, and brandy was giyen to the men. The man Davis seconded Mitchell, and Walker, Williams. At the end of half an hour Mitchell was unable to come up to time, and was declared vanquished. He con sidered it to be a fair stand-up fight. Both men were much punished; and he consid ered Williams had the worst of it. The deceased was able to walk home part of the way. He only partook of a bottle of ginger beer in returning home. .Richard Garlick stated he resided at Battersea. On Sunday he saw a number of persons go into a field near the British Flag Tavern. He followed them and saw two of the men strip.

The annual reports of the Directors of Convict Prisons in England have. been issued —documents necessarily Of much interest now that the Penal Servitude Act retains in this country large bodies of convicts who were formerly sent abroad. Of course these reports do not touch the county and borough prisons, in which there were at the latest return (Michaelmas last) 15,574 prisoners. During the twelvemonth 126,861 persons had been com mitted to those gaols, but many of them for short periods and slight offences, there being not a few who were afterwards acquitted, and 15,120 who were but debtors ; and it is satisfactory to have to add that the average number of prisoners showed a decrease, the recommittals of the same prisoners were fewer, the proportion of juvenile offenders decreased, and the punishments for prison offences diminished in a greater degree than the prison population. It is of the worst, most depraved, and most dangerous of this class that the Convict Prisons Reports treat—those who are sentenced to penal servitude, and removed from these local gaols to Government prisons to undergo their sentence, first in separatel confinement and thiiiifrissociated labour. There were 11,007 pri soners in the convict prisons of England at one time or other in the year 1859 ' • the number at the be ginning of the year was 8,115, and at its close 8,122, and of this last number 1,188 were women. In the course of the year 224 of the men were transported to Western Australia, 421 were sent to labour at the public works of Gibraltar and Bermuda, and 215 men and 20 women were released under orders of licence, or, as they used to be called, tickets of leave. No less than 1,837 were set at liberty in consequence of the expiration of their sentence. While in separate confinement the convicts are em ployed in work, and instruction is given to them-- many learn there for the first time to read ; they meet at school, at chapel, and in exercise, but are punished if they communicate with one another, the punishmentoheing generally a dark cell and punishment diet. At . .Millbank the women made last year 43,728 shirts, for a city firm, without a single rejection. In the next stage the men are employed on public works at Portland, Portsmouth, or Chatham, where they work ten hours a-day, when there is light enough ; bat are allowed half a day's schooling in the week. Endeavours are made to educate them sufficiently to qualify them for useful situations, and the effort is appreciated; they are divided into classes according to character and conduct, and in the last few months of their time men of exemplary prison character are placed in posts of some confidence, without any immediate ' supervision over them. Some small gratuities may be earned by diligence, to accumulate against the day of discharge, being then paid with precautions. Those who are only fit for' light labour are sent to Dartmoor Prison, which is in a highly. oxygenised. and bracing spot, and convicts unfit for labour have been hitherto sent to Lewes Invalid Prison, now merging in the new prison at Woking. A con siderable number of these last improve in health sufficiently to be draughted to Dartmoor. In speaking of the diet allowed them, the surgeon notes that the men most difficult to please are from the vagrant class or from the lowest grades of society. From all these convict prisons the reports are satisfactory. The convicts behave in an orderly manner, and work Well. The maintenance of such good order is, in a great measure, attributed to the system of remitting a considerable part of the sen tence to well-conducted industrious men, who appear 1 likely to endeavour to earn an honest livelihood on their discharge. As for the question whether there is any real reformation wrought, it seems to be con sidered that of the regular habitual thieves there is: little hope—their reformation, as Mr. S. Redgravet says, is as difficult a task to themselves as to their teachers. The experienced chaplain of Millba . nk prison classifies the convicts received there in 1659 thus :-61 per cent. (869) were professional thieves, following crime as a business; 25 per cent. (304) were careless profligates, but not hardened mcni ; 6 per cent. (89) were occasional offenders, on the whole working honestly for their living, but com mitting a dishonest act when a favourable oppor tunity occurs; the remaining 8 per cent. (08) were comparatively respectable, but had resorted to a. crime to extricate themselves from difficulties, generally caused by their not having had sufficient self-denial to live within their means. Of all but the regular thieves he has hope that with few exceptions they leave the prison better men than. when they came, and with sufficient right principle to prevent their relapsing into crime. Of the lads at Parkhurst the governor reports that in no one of the 16 years during which he has had charge of that prison was the conduct of the„inmates so satis factory ; it has been marked by order, obedience, and cheerful industry. The Directors of Convict Prisons consider that this section of the juvenile population is gradually yielding under the influence of Ragged School teaching, district visiting, andthe juvenile reformatory movement of the last few years. Of the female convicts (at Brixton and Fulham) the report is that" they are genera ly in extremes." The most troublesome are young women who know that their ill health will shield them from punishment. But no extent of punishment could ever keep some of them in order. Their perverse depravity makes their cases appear, humanly speaking, hope less. These cases, however, are few. Among many at Brixton, and more generally at Fulham (to which the best conducted are sent for final training), there is a strong desire to lead an honest life. Efforts are made to inspire them with self respect, enable them to break off strongly-rooted evil habits, and take a lively interest in their work, with a desire to turn it to a good account hereafter. Two-thirds of the women discharged from Fulham refuge in 1859 got into situations, where they were likely to do well, and were at the end of the year going on satisfactorily. Both to men and women the Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society is rendering most important services at a most criti cal season. But any attempt to trace prisoners for a length of time in after life interferes with the it object of hiding their disgrace and merging in society. A suggestion made by the chaplain of Pa:AL - burst raises a grave question ; he considers that, as there is a system of liberating before the time , there should also be a discretionary power to d( stain after the time. It can do no good to releaf ie such men as lone of whom we are here told, wh o said plainly, " It's not likely I'll work for 15s. a-week when I can get pounds." But, at all eve nts, with very many much improvement is now e: ET ected by prison discipline and teaching. The pris of iers are treated fairly, with consideration and huir 'at iity, often with great judgment; they have no juE it ground of com plaint, they are accustomed to remaur habits and self-restraint, and have held out 1-,01 them every encouragement to good conduct and industry. Such seed will surely bring some harv-est. Galignani states that the Rev. Dr. Cumming, of London, is to preach in the church of the Orat oire, Paris, on Sunday next, in connexion with the Church c If Scotland. A HINT TO TOURISTS.—A sad acciden t happened at Bareges on the 9th inst., when an English lady and gentleman attempted to make the ascent of ' the Pic du Midi. Darkness coming on they were unal de to see the danger of a pass before them ; they urged on their horses, Chatsworth, and which hesitated to advance, and all fell tog( *her down a precipice. The gentleman had his head sews rely cut, and his wife had an arm broken, having escaped wii lb. their lives by a miracle. or 1 31 FANCY TITLES FOR BOOKS.—In the y e-- - , 8 poet all through his life, and to his family Hood became acquainted with the late Duke of l 9 nowdanioquitrhe4 after for what is who appears to have been a kind and useful _ fri ‘ g i loath.
