Offices : —27, Cannon-street, E.C. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The works selected, with the approval of Government, for first operations, consist of—lrrigating and Navigable Canals throughout the rich and extensive Pekes 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 mos t important. and in promise the most profitable 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 Canals and Water-ways by the public. To these may be added as available but subsidiary means •f additional returns : I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other incomederived 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.—The supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of - them has been already ascertained to be highly productive in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals in the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per centage upon outlay. The following returns realised by th e 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 58 per cent. on its cost during the first year, and a third , w hich 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 cost 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 at Calcutta. It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in genue, to the sum of £1.000,000, divided into 50,000 shaare res of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of L 1 per sh only, with a further payment of £1 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, full 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-stret, E.C., London ; or at the Compa's Bankers, Messrs. e Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., 1, Pall-M ny all East.

The object .of this Company is to purchase from Mr. Simp son, the prestlrit well-known and successful proprietor—who retires, having* realised an ample fortune from the profits of this undertaking, - the Lease, Goodwill, and Plant of these head-quarters suburban recreation and enjoyment. The CremorLte property is held at the nominal ground rent of £63 per annum, the Ashburnham portion included, for an unexpired term of nearly thirty-three years. As evidence of the confidence entertained in the success of the proposed Company, nearly one-half of the capital has been alrea d y subscribed. Mr. Simpson becomes one of the largest shareholders in the undertaking, and will ac cept a seat in the Direction immediately after the for mation of the Company, thus affording* the Board the benefit ent. Arrangements have of his co-operation in the managem also been made for the retention of the services of a his efficient and well-organised staff , t hus ensuring the correct nd eco nomical world= of the business. Some idea of the profits of these Gardens may be gained from the fact, that on the Occasion of the Fete in aid of the Wellington College, after e xpenses, Mr. Simpson p aid over to the Trustees of the Charity, as the proceeds of the night's entertainment, £1,200 ; and on the occasion of the Aristocratic Fete a profit of £ I,IOO was realised, and presen ted to public charities. The capital called is ample for the requirements of the business. The purchase-money for the lease, plant, and goodwill, will not exceed two-thirds of the amo unt. The contemplated additions and alterations lawil e carried it is out upon principles of the stric test economy, anwill not, anticipated, employ more than half the capital remaining after the completion of the purchase. Since the year 1850, the - income has gone on steadily and rapidly increasing. The booms of the establishment have b een strictly kept, and have been examined, and accounts audited by Mr. Scrivener, the public accountant ; and the average profits of the last five years show that an income equal to a dividend of 20 per cent. upon the capital employed may be confidently anticipated, and that these profits, by a small judicious outlay, are capable of being greatly increased. It is also proposed that every holder of not less than twenty shares ah.ll be entitled to a free admission for himself and friend, subject, however, to such conditions as may be deter mined upon by the direction. It must be borne in mind that this is no new or speculative undertaking, the experimental period. so often fatal to new enterprises of the most promising kind, having, in the case of these Garden s, long since passed by ; while, by the experience and industry of Mr. Simpson, a system of check has been perfected, which precludes not only losses by frauds , but reduces the expenses of the concern to the minimum, in sures the regularity of the working , and places the esti mate of profits, as above put forward by the Board, among the most reliable ever submitted to the public.

Now that the patrons of the destructive sciences are making such efforts to brine, to perfection their engines for the de struction of life and property, it becomes the advocates of peace and commercial progress to be equally active in an op posite direction ; the attention, therefore, of the commercial community, whose interests are necessarily identified, the latter is called to the fact of "a newly-discovered principle in locomotive mechanics," which places all the operations of agriculture entirely within the range of steam power, fur nishes the farmer with a cheap, efficient, and reliable steam engine, and opens up the agricultural resources of the colonies to the enterprise of the capitalist. The Steam Plough has a very great and important bearing on the manufacturing and industrial interests of this country ; for every kind of agri cultural produce is now daily becoming more scarce, and the efficiency of this branch of industry is daily mani festing a greater incapacity to keep pace with the de mands of society for the staples of life, commerce, and industry. The British people possess, however, almost un limited resources of .idle soil in their colonies which only require labour to fructify them. A practical steam plough is therefore equivalent to nothing more or less than "a cheap and abundant supply of the staples of life, commerce, and trade, a rapid development of colonial growth and prosperity, and an extended demand for all the products of British industry." The steam engine has been the pioneer of British freedom and power ; in its first era (Manufacture) it provided a cheap and efficient method of supplying society with the conveni ences of life—gave wealth, unity, and power to a commercial class which came forth as the rival of absolute misrule and the champion of constitutional government ; in its second era (Transportation) it furnished efficient international commu nication, and, uniting the interests of commerce in a course favourable to free trade, it broke up the system of protection which had concentrated the wealth of the country (and eons seouently the political power) in the hands of an oligarchy; it united by commercial ties the various countries of the earth, and carried the banner of civilisation and Christianity to the shores of every land ; there they now wait another agent which shall tear up the forest and the jungle, and open up the haunts of barbarity and superstition for their further pro gress. Another era has yet to be accomplished —(the Agri cultural)—and with this will come the third instalment of commercial-progress, the extension of the civilising influences of industry throughout the earth, the rapid maturity and con solidation of the commercial and industrial interests of the country, and a gradual decay to all the elements of irrespon sible power and fictitious nobility. Help ! Preachers of the Gospel, for the first note of your message has yet to be sounded to three-fourths of the human race ; help, Christians and philanthropists, for the idle soil of the world is waiting to give bread to the poor and employ ment to the idle; help, reformers, for the power of your great enemy is built on its connection with Agriculture on its con trol over the first elements of industrial and commercial pros perity (staple supply); help, friends of the slave, for steam in Agriculture will at the same time give both a substitute and a remedy for slavery; hell 4 merchants, manufacturers, traders, and all the armies of the industrious, for the idle soil of your Colonies is waiting to give freight for your ships, produce for your railroads, staples for your factories and mills, wealth to your customers, and material independence and property to every industrious man.

D AVIESON'S EVERLASTING TEETH. — THE LATEST DISCOVERY. —Mr. EDWARD DAVIESON, Surgeon-Dentist, has introduced a material for the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH so extraor dinary that nature appears to have made good the ravages of TIME, DISEASE, or ACCIDENT, and when fitted detec tion is impossible even though the wearer's mouth be closely examined. The price is so moderate that it is within the reach of all, and it is fitted without springs or other unsightly fastenings. The removal of stumps is unnecessary, and thus all pain is avoided. Mr. Edward Davieson invites one visit of inspection to his establishment, which will convince the most sceptical of the truth and straightforwardness of this statement.

The Foyle steamer arrived at Falmouth on Satur day afternoon from Plymouth, having on board the head-quarters of. the Fifeshire Militia, to embark the company of that regiment stationed at Pen dennis Castle for Glasgow, prior to their being disembodied. The men were accompanied to the place of embarkation by the band of the 3d Corn wall Volunteers. The only troops now stationed at Pendennis are a detachment of 28 men of the Coast Brigade of Artillery, under the command of Lieut. Thompson. The military invalids who arrived at Gravesend from Calcutta in the East India steamer Sevillas were disembarked at Customhouse-quay yesterday morning, and immediately forwarded to Chatham garrison. The troops belong to .the Ist battalion sth (Fusileers), Ist battalion Bth (the King's), Ist battalion 20th, Ist battalion 23d (Royal Welsh Fusileers), 35th, 38th, 71st (Highlanders), 89th, 90th (Light Infantry), and 97th Regiments, the Royal Artillery, and the Rifle Brigade, with a number of men who have been sent home, formerly belonging to the Royal Bengal Artillery and other native regiments, the total number that embarked being 140 men of all ranks, the whole in medical charge of Assist.-Surg. T. J. Biddle, Bth Foot. The Sevillas left Calcutta on the 19th April, the passage to the Thames, including detentions at St. Helena and elsewhere, occupying 120 days. On the arrival of the troops at Chatham, and after they had been medically inspected, nine men were admitted into hospital at Fort Pitt for treatment, and the re mainder taken into quarters at the invalid establish ment, St. Mary's Barracks, where they will be in spected in a few days by a Chelsea board, in order to ascertain what non-commissioned officers and men are fit for further service. The Earl of Balcarras, East India troopship, Captain Morris, arrived at Gravesend yesterday from Bombay with upwards of 300 wounded and disabled cavalry and infantry troops on board, together with nearly 200 women and children, under the command of Capt. Curtis, of the Bom bay Native Infantry. The troops will be landed at Customhouse-quay this morning, when they will at once proceed to Chatham. EXMOUTTI LIFE-BOAT. This boat, the cost of which was presented by Lady Rolle to the National Lifeboat Institution, had her quarterly exercise on Friday hist, in ac cordance with the regulations of the institution. Absence from home prevented Lady Rolle going off herself in the boat. The launch of the lifeboat from her transporting carriage was accomplished with much ease. It took place in the presence of Admiral Sir F. Moresby, K.C.8., Captain Sir E. Perrott, Bart., Captain Rich, R.N., and a large concourse of people. Lieut. Agassiz, R.N., the Rev. J. Gaffey, and the secretary of the Parent Society, went off with the crew in her e The sea on the occa sion was somewhat rough, and the boat's behaviour in the' - water elicited the admiration on this, as on previous occasions, of her crew. This is one of the most complete lifeboat establishments on the whole coast of the United Kingdom, and reflects much credit on Lieut. Agassiz, the zealous hon. secretary of the branch, Mr. Hawkins, chief officer of the coastguard, and other members of the local commit tee. In a recent number of -ill the Year Round, Dickens thus alludes incidentally, in an admirable article on shipwrecks, to the Exmouth Lifeboat Station:— " All hands were lost last night for want of a lifeboat here, My son-in-law is coxswain of the nearest lifeboat, but that's 30 miles from is. We've lots of wrecks, but never a boat yet. There are boats wanted, belike, in many other places where there are only poor people ashore, though there are none the kinder rocks and shoals at sea. We can't set up a boat." " A few five-pound notes," I said, " would not have done it for you." " Look here, sir," said Jem, "my son-in -law, he's but a rough fishermen who knows his trade, a stout lad, and not stupid on salt water. He gets £8 a year for being coxswain of the lifeboat at his place, and very proud he are for so to be. Once a quarter he goes out, with the boat's crew, men like himself, for exercising in rough weather, and they get their day's pay too, as is fitting. They've a boat that'll do anything but go out walking ashore by itself, and that lives in a home of its own handy to the sea, ready to slip out on a wreck at a minute's notice. What he tells me is, which is the only learning he's got from books kep' in the boat house, that when the money that has been spent in setting lifeboats up about the coast is squared against the lives saved, there's a life for every four pound seven and twopence. That's the sum. So, the more five pound notes go that way, the fewer of us will go this way ;" and he laid a wrinkled finger on the sail. " When, a week after the storm, I went in search of a physician to the seaport Jem had named, and, whilst waiting his time to return with me when he had seen his patients on the spot, I walked sadly by the ripple of a placid sea, and came by accident upon the lifeboat house. It was a neat stone building, with some show of archi tecture in it, with a verandah east and west shelter ing forms, upon which pilots and others might sit under cover in foul weather. I had been told that, at this town, boat-house and boat were the gift of a lady of fortune, and it was evident that she was one who did not give with two fingers."

A rather amusing and very angry scrimmage has been begun, and seems likely to ga on, between Mr. Bright and the Times. The sanguinary mem ber for Birmingham now regularly goes to war with a double-barrelled rifle, and, having the other day emptied both tubes right in the eye of the Thunderer, that potentate very reasonably took offence, and is now taking retaliation. One of the barrels, by far the straightest and strongest shooter, of Mr. Bright's metaphorical firearm, is his own tongue, with which formerly he did so much good to the country, and with which recently he has been doing so much harm to himself; the other is a newspaper which he " keeps " for his own uses, and with which he deals condemnation round the land on all who venture to differ from or disobey King John. Whenever one of the barrels goes off the other immediately follows, to make sure, or from the delight of mangling as well as killing. Thus, en Friday night Mr. Bright in the House of Commons took or rather made occasion to fire off an attack upon the Vines, morally, commercially, and per sonally ; and next morning and every morning since the other barrel has been going off, pop, pop, firing the same charges with more smoke and less power. Besides this more special or set assault, the same sort of thing has been going on desultorily for a long time. Whenever he has got a chance for months past, Mr. Bright has tried to exhibit the iniquities of the Times in a blaze of light, and, however complete the exposure, Mr. Bright's Star (which, we fear, is not in all respects a fortu nate one) was sure to throw additional radi ance upon the matter in the morning ; and, besides all this, a chorus of abuse was kept up by many of our brethren of what is contumeliously t termed " the penny press," both in and ou of Lon don, there appearing to prevail in that quarter an impression that the Thnes is the natural enemy of all other newspapers. Probably if this vitupera tion had continued to have reference merely to things political or things in general, the Times would have kept never minding ; but latterly the missiles have consisted in great part of fabulous assertions about matters of business and impertinent allusions to private persons. Thus annoyed, the Times has now turned round to put its paw on some of its assailants—who, however they may dislike it in the end, seem for the time qu ite pleased to have succeeded in exciting I so much attention and displeasure. Perhaps the fight in itself is of no great public importance ; but its origin and some of its incid en t s point to some not insignificant questions affecting the character of the press—especially to the fact that there has of late years arisen a n ewclass of newspapers, tend ing very considerably to the degradation of our " order, and which (if we may be pardoned a some. what improper allusion) are best described as "kept" papers. A " kept" newspaper is one which is not, like ordinary or old fashioned newspapers,established byprivate persons as a matter of business, advocat ing, indeed, a certain set of principles, 'but com mercially dependent on the support of the public — a "kept" newspaper is set up by some little political clique to serve their own purposes, and especially their own antipathies, and commercially dependent upon and absolutely ruled by that little clique. Two things are specially to be noted of this new class of journals that they have been resorted to chiefly by what is miscalled the Man chester section of Radicals, and that their chief em ployment is accusing all other journals of not being " independent," and assuming that they themselves are identical With " the people," D 1 -e," that people whose support they have found it necessary specially to provide for doing without. One of the worst fea tures of the political section headed by Mr. Bright is the extraordinary antipathy which it has for at least the last ten Sears displayed towards a really independent press-- an anti pathy clearly arising from intolerance of spirits. Even Mr. Cob den, comparatively mild and judicious, has re peatedly declared in public that newspapers ought not to discuss but only recor d , a Parliamentary Committee he deliberately ex pressed his preference, abov e the British press , of th e press not only of the United States, but of France, Germany, and Spain. Two other conspi cuous men of his party testified on a similar occa sion that the best or only p ro per matter for news papers is " police reports," " trials at the assizes,' "a good account of some farmer's stackyard having been burnt down ;" and One of them ventured to add that at least he w as Willing that " leading articles should be prohibited.) , For years Mr. Bright has scarcely been able to speak without re ferring to the newspaper press in terms of real hatred and affected contempt . This state of mind appears to have been induced by finding that the old Liberal press of the country —many members of which had not only been ad vocates of Liberalism whe n Liberalism was unprofitable, but had been advo cates of free trade many years before even Messrs. Cobden and Bright took the field.—would not per form all the new and stran ge league leaders began to issue after the completion of their great work in 1846. That which had been their chief ally in the free trade agitation they found every now and then confronting and with standing them in their ne w courses. They were first amazed, then enraged, then abusive —and ultimately they fell upon mea ns both of revenge remed They could What they thought a and not bend the existing press to their y. purposes, but they would set up a rival p ress it was bid. So not only in which would do as Lond on but other places they set up a new class of Papers which were t o look to them only for orders and for wages. Th e y have so far succeeded as to have maintained for several years a few newspap ers which unite in an un precedented style the loud est b raw li ng with the lowest servility. The brawlin g takes the shape chiefly of a eclof the "kept papers aaring that there is no " independence" extant but in them, and in repeat ing with aggravation the denunciations of their keepers against all opponents an d unbelievers. Their servility, besides what is comprised in the brawling, consists in not only never differing from their keepers, but in drenchi ng of flattery on all suitable and them with buckets unsuitable occasions. Nothing surely could be more ludicrously nzala propos than papers of this c l ass assa iling a paper like the Times for want of " independence" when the faults of the Times obviously lie entirely in the opposite direction—in a want of tie to any set of men or even principles, or even we may say to its own interests, or to anything but its own notions or almost whims as they chance to rise. It is im possible to name the political party or man with whom the Times has not often and strongly differed; it would be equally impossible to show a single occa3ion on which the papers at present assailing the Times ever ventured to hint the faintest dissent from any ono thing done or any one word said b y Mr. Bright and his coterie. This arrangement may be a convenient one for the parties (don't say the guilty parties) ; but such connexions are never either happy in themselves, nor in favour with a t h e people." It would be far better policy o f our " independent" contemporaries if they would occa sionally get up a matrimonial-like quarrel with their gentlemen —it would look more respectable in the eyes of a suspicious and censorious public. — Scotsman.

There is every reason to believe—although the circumstances are yet to a great extent enshrouded in mystery—that a fearful and revolting murder was perpetrated in the Queen's-park, on the person of a young girl, at an early hour yesterday morn ing. The victim is named Elizabeth Slater, niece of Mr. Andrew Slater, a slater by trade, who re sides at No. 1, St. John's-street ; and she is stated by her uncle to have only completed her eleventh year on the Ist inst., although from her appearance she might have passed, it is said, for 14 or 15 years of age. About four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, while Mr. Slater and his wife were out, and the deceased was left in the house with the servant, it is stated that she slipped out without the servant's know ledge, carrying with her a bundle of clothes. No quarrel with her uncle, or any person in the family had, it is said, taken place, and no motive can be assigned for this proceeding. The servant soon missed the girl, and suspected that site hail carried off the clothes with her, and on her uncle's return informed him of the circumstance. Mr. Slater came up and lodged information at the police-office, and at his request a criminal officer was sent along with him to make a search for the girl. They went through a great many houses where she had been in the habit of visiting, and the search was kept up by the family till three o'clock yesterday morning, but without success. The girl, when she left the house, wore a light printed cotton gown, with small dark spots •, a brown cloth elcak with bene buttons, red a black felt hat and black feather She had tide hair, and, as- already alluded to, was tell and maturely-formed for her age. About four o'clock yesterday morning the body of a young girl answering this description was dis covered by a man who was passing along the Duke's walk, Queen's-park, lying near the foot of the east ernmost of the strip of six trees on the south-west margin of the parade-ground, Belville-park, and opposite the west end of St. Margaret's Loch. The body was dreadfully disfigured, the face bruised, swollen, and bleeding, and the bridge of the nose broken. The exact position of the body was about a yard south of the tree, on the slope leading down to the carriage road. She lay on her back, with her head upwards towards the foot of the tree. Blood was flowing from her ear, and a considerable clot of gore was on the grass near her head. No blood was seen on her hands, but her pocket ap peared to have been rifled or searched by a bloody hand, as blood-stains were seen around it, and a . quantity of lace found in the pocket was smeared with blood, as if it had been pulled out by bloody fingers and then thrust back again, A piece of the lace was also picked up a few yards from the body. A large sharp stone, found close to the spot, has been brought to the police-office. The ground near where she was lying was also tramped and indented, as if a struggle had taken place on it ; and, on a subsequent examination by the police, abrasions were seen upon her wrist, as if she had been held tightly and pulled about, and marks as of fingers and nails were found on her throat. The bundle, with part of the clothing which she had carried from the house, was found lying beside her ; and it would appear, from the statements of the servant, that she must have put on part of them—white petticoats, and some other things—and changed her boots, after she had gone away. When she left the house, or immediately before it, she wore leather boots ; but when discovered in the park she had on a pair of new cloth boots, also belonging to her ; and one of the leather ones was found lying beside her, but the other was missing, and has not since been found. _ _ _ The man who had discovered the body hailed one or two stragglers about the park, and in a very short time a considerable group of people was gathered around it. The policeman at Meadow bank, seeing the people collected there, also came up, and immediately despatched information to the police-office. In the course of the previous and sub sequent inquiries, it was ascertained that the girl had been seen at different times during the previ ous evening and night in company with soldiers of the 13th Light Dragoons, stationed at Piershill. She was observed by two different persons about nine o'clock in the High-street along with a private ; and was afterwards seen in the Pleasance, at 20 minutes past midnight, in company with two soldiers of the same regiment, one of them believed to be a corporal and the other a private. A man who particularly observed her at this time, and whose attention was struck by such a young girl as she appeared to be going about with soldiers, states that he overheard one of them tell her to " be off," that she replied, " What is the matter with you ?" and that they then went along together, but had not gone far when the soldier turned round and struck her, or struck at her, with his switch. After wards, about two o'clock en the Sunday morning, the unfortunate girl was seen by another man with three soldiers in the Queen's-park, near the new wooden gate on the south side of the Palace garden. One of the soldiers was striking her at that time with his cane on the back, and the girl was crying. The man was passing along towards the back of the palace, when she came after him and inquired the way to Musselburgh. He directed her to go through Croft-an-Righ Wynd out to the high road, and as ho was going in that direction himself, she fol lowed him for a little distance. She turned back, however, before coming to Croft-an-Righ, and again joined the soldiers ; and on looking back the man saw her take one of them by the arm, and go with him in company with the soldiers by the sen tinels of the 78th on duty both in front and at the south side of the Palace. As soon as information reached the police-office that the body had been found, officers were des patched to Piershill-barracks, for the purpose of ascertaining what men were out on pass, or absent without leave. It was found that a great number of the men had got out on pass on the previous night, and after an inspection and examination of those who had come in late, it was found that nothing could be elicited at that hour. Criminal officers were in the meantime employed to discover who the dead woman was, and on Mr. Sla ter bein g informed of the occurrence, he came to the police office, and identified the body as that of his niece. Mr. Little, assistant county-fiscal, was then communicated with, and despatched a letter to the commanding officer at Piershill, requesting that all the soldiers should be kept in the barracks and paraded at two o'clock, that they might be seen by the witnesses, for the purpose of identifying those with whom they hack seen the girl during the previous night.. An answer was received stating that the request would be complied with, but that there were four absentees who could not be found. Between one and two o'clock, Sheriff Pater son, Mr. Lothian, procurator-fiscal, and the police proceeded to Piershill, along With eight witnesses, but after a lengthened inspection none of the sol diers on parade were identified. A search was meanwhile made for the four absentees, and be tween three and four o'clock two of them, named John Tanner and John Quin, were discovered in a disreputable house in Campbell's Close, Canon gate. They were both taken into custody, and Tanner was identified by several of the witnesses as having been seen by them along with the girl at different times, and particularly in the Pleasance, about half-past twelve on Sunday morning. He was judicially examined before the Sheriff yester day evening, and has been lodged in prison, pro visionally, on the charge of murder. None of the witnesses could speak positively to Quin, but he is also detained for further examination. The third man seen with the girl, stated by some of the witnesses to have been a corporal, bad not been found up to a late hour last night. A post-mortem examination will be made to-day by Dr. Keiller and Dr. R. Smith, the latter of whom is acting for Dr. Littlejohn, who is absent on leave. The most active exertions have been and are still being made by the authorities for the elucidation of the mys tery in which this deplorable occurrence is still en veloped. During the whole of yesterday afternoon" and evening the fatal spot was visited by great, numbers in of people. tg, THE LATE MR. R. STEPHENSON, C.E. —The executors of the late Mr. R.

TILE MEN FOR GALWAY. The late successful draw on the Impel& Ta sury to the tune of nearly half-a-million sterling has been celebrated by an ovation to two members of Parliament—both Saxons, by the way—who did y • ..... en's service ; the hard fight for the postal s. ,y. r ~r . +ranee into the town of Galway on Monday of Mr. John Orrell Lever and Mr. John Arthur Roebuck must be regarded as a perfect triumph, and, as a demonstration of a na tion's gratitude, quite eclipses anything of the kind that has occurred here since the decline and fall of Irish agitation. The recent landing of a military celebrity at Dover was but a tame affair as com pared to the subjoined account of the Galwegian welcome of the two victorious financiers;— " It having been generally known that Mr. Lever and Mr. Roebuck would arrive in Galway this day at four o'clock, preparations were made by the trades to givb them a suitable reception. At half past three crowds began to congregate at the. rail way terminus, several handsome flags were erected at the entrance, and shortly before'the arrival of the train the town band, and the trades with their banners, took their places on the platform. At this hour the interior of the terminus was densely thronged, and several ladies were present. As the train rolled in loud cheers were given, the band playing " See the Conquering Hero Comes." Mr. and Mrs. Lever, Mr. Roebuck, and some ladies were then conducted by Father Daly to a carriage, and a procession was formed, headed by the band. It pro ceeded along the east side of Eyre-square, through William's-gate-street, William-street, Abbeygate— street, Mary-street, St. Francis-street, and on tG Father Daly's residence. There was occasional cheering during the progress of the procession, which was acknowledged by Mr. Lever and Father- Daly. At St. Vincent's-place a large concourse assembled, and loudly cheered the cortege as it arrived. " Father Daly addressed the people from the carriage, lie said,—They honoured him by honour ing Alr. Lever, their .memlx-r, irl.to was the fow l . der of their packet station, and the means of establishing the future prosperity of Gal way. (Cheers.) And here was Mr. Roebuck—(Ohekrs)— the man that could deal with.the cowards—let them remember that was the word—the cowards who calumniated Mr. Lever in an underhand way. He is the man that bearded them to their faces, and. that said that Mr. Lever's honour never was tarnished in getting the subsidy for Galway. He was a man they never could forget. To any ma'a the presence of Mr. Roebuck in his house was, an honour. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Lever was the foun der of their hopes, and if there were rogues con nected with the project, he was not among the rogues. Let the calumniators who saw that mani festation, and the people who came that day to welcome Mr. Lever and his friend Mr. Roebuck— let them say whether these were ' gallery boys '— (uproar)—for, let them remember, they were characterised by that name the other day. He hoped and trusted they would have the opportunity of hearing the sweet voices of Mr. Lever and Mr. Roebuck—(cheers)—and of listening to that elo quence that thundered in the Senate of Great Britain. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) " The party then entered Mr. Daly's house. Mr. Roebuck appeared at the window, and was loudly cheered. " Father Daly said that Mr. Roebuck was too fatigued to thank them, but desired him to do so." IRREMOVABLE P 001?. The select committee appointed on the operation of the act 9th and 10th Victoria, cap. 66, which enacts that no poor person shall be removable who shall have resided five years in any parish, and of the acts 10th and 11th Victoria, cap. 110, and 11th and 12th Victoria, cap. 110, which enact that the relief given to such irremovable persons shall be charged upon the common fund of the union—have considered the matters to them referred, and have come to the following resolutions, which they have agreed to report to the house : " 1. That the operation of the act (9th and 10th Victoria, c. 66) is beneficial to the poor in mitigat ing the hardships necessarily incidental to any law of removal. " 2. That the period of residence, in order to ac quire a status of irremovability (if that status be continued), may, with advantage to the poor, be re duced from five years to three. "3. That the area of residence necessary for ac quiring a status of irremovability (if that status be continued) may also, with advantage to the poor, be extended from the parish to the whole union. " 4. That orphan children, who may on the death of their surviving parent be removable, shall have the status of irremovability which their surviving parent may have acquired. " 5. That the cosi of the maintenance of such lunatics in asylums as are now chargeable to a pa rish within a union should be chargeable on the common fund of such union. " 6. That the contribution of parishes in unions to the common fund should be based upon conside ration of the annual rateable value, and the amount of the population combined in one sum, by adding the amount of the population, according to the last census, to the amount of the parochial assessment, and by taking the result as the assessment in pounds sterling. " The committee desire further to report, that during this inquiry evidence has been submitted to them of some peculiar evils which attend the re moval of the Irish poor when chargeable in Eng land. These chiefly relate to the mode and form of conducting removals, and they would, doubtless, be lessened by the adoption of the foregoing reso lutions, as greater facilities of becoming irremov able (by limiting the period and extending the area of residence) would be afforded to the, poor. " The committee, however, in order to :prevent entirely the recurrence of the evils referred to, would strongly recommend that legislative effect should be given to the following precautions :--; " (a.). That no warrant shall be issued for the removal of any poor person from England to Ire land except by justices assembled at a petty ses sion, or by a stipendiary magistrate. " (b.) That the said justices or magistrate shall not issue the warrant without seeing the head of the family to be removed, and being satisfited that each of the parties sought to be removed is in such a state of health as not to be liable to injury by re moval. " (c.) That a statement to this effect shall be in- sated in the warrant, with the name and age of every child under the age of 16 years Ho ordered to be removed, together with the name oaf the place where the justices find the pauper to. have been born or to have resided. " (d.) That during the winter montl is no woman or child under the age of 14 shall be se at across the Channel as a deck passenger. " (e.) That in all cases of removal of Trish paupers the removing parish shall be bound to defray the cost of the removal of any person ordered to be removed to the place in Ireland wlLich, upon evi dence before the justices, shall op pear to be the place of birth or residence of such person. " (f.) That a copy of the warrant and the deposi tions shall be sent, if required, to the board of guardians in Ireland to the union to which the removal is to be made. " The committee desire to express their opinion that the law of settlement and removal should receive the early attention of the Leg islature. "August 6." • „ How TO PRESERVE THE P IPES OF Y OUR WATER CISTERNS.—The late severe frost of last NOvember, in its results upon our domestic water supply, lbursting water. pipes and driving us to stand-cocks in the. streets, was not creditable to us as a mechanical nation. There exists so simple _ a mode of preventing water-pipes: in houses from bursting by frost, that I suspect the plamb( 3rs must be aware of it, and keep it carefully out of sight. It is to have a small spherical cistern of thin copper attached to the lower part of the water-pipe, and a gas-burner fixed below it. If, when the frost comes on, the gas-jet be lighted, the effect will be that the Cistern will become a boiler on a sinall scale, drcu lating sufficient warmth through the pipes to seinevnt the action. of the frost either in stopping the supP/Y or burst ing the pipes.
