Let us p by that and much else, and watch the procession. Behind the English comes another battalion of the ational Guard, bearing the glorious banner of Old ngland in the front. What Englishman in a for gn land does not look upon it with pride and ection They all move on in front of the palace, nd then circle round the Great Square, amid the heats of tens of thousands of the people, and th form in columns, the National Guards parallel wi the Eng lish. Look round on the scene. How g , striking, and impressive ! Sullen and gloomy 100 s the Royal Palace behind ; the palaces on either side are well filled with people; just in front are the equestrian statues of the Bourbons covered up with sheets, and the long legs of one of them peep out, as if threaten ing to kick us all over if he could. After a few minutes' pause all are in movement again towards the Toledo, where every window is decorated with a flag, and the spectacle is as grand and brilliant as it can well be imagined. There is a sea of human heads, and, moving backwards and forwards as they do continually, they renitind one of the "pecove," as they call them here, on the agitated surface of the Mediterranean. In some windows flowers and evergreens are showered down ; " Viva' are shouted and handkerchiefs are - waved from all. Some dirty young gamins were calling out, " Viva nostri fratelli i Inglesi !" It is always pleasant to find relatives turn up unexpectedly in a foreign land, especially if they do not make exorbi tant demands upon the pocket ; but as I looked upon our new connexions I felt that, except on the most Christian principle, I should be indisposed to ac knowledge the relationship. Still the gamins shouted " Viva i nostrifratelli!" Were Ito write a ream, I could only repeat what I have already said—it was a brilliant spectacle; it was a kind and courteous reception on the part of the Neapolitans, who are as kind-hearted a people as any on earth, TILE L 4 NDING OF TILE BRITISH EXCURSIONISTS AT NAPLES.

The following are the official documents pub lished in the Vienna Gazette, the purport of which have been made known by telegraph. The first is a manifesto to the Austrian populations : " When I ascended the throne of my ancestors violent commotions prevailed in the monarchy. " After a conflict which was very painful to my paternal sentiments, the necessity of an energetic concentration of the Government was felt above all things to be necessary in my provinces, as was likewise the case in almost all the States of the European Continent, which were violently agitated by revolution. The public welfare and the security of the majority of the peaceable inhabitants of the monarchy required that ; for the passions which were excited, and the painful remembrance of the recent past, rendered impossible the free movement of elements which were just before combating each other as enemies. " I desired to ascertain the wishes and the wants of the different provinces of the monarchy ; and I consequently, by my Patent of the sth March, created and convoked my reinforced Council of the Empire.

Then follows an Imperial diploma for regulating the internal political organisation of the empire : " We, Francis Joseph I, by the grace of God, Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, King of Lombardy and Venetia, of Gal- Heim, &c., make known : " After our ancestors, of glorious memory, had applied themselves, in their prudent solicitude, to create for our august house a precise form of here:- ditary succession, the order of succession established inviolably and for ever by H.M. the Emperor Charles VI., on the 19th April, 1713, was defini tively regulated by the law of the State, of posses sion, and of family, known under the name of the • Pragmatic Sanction,' and was adopted by the legitimate States of our different kingdoms Lind , provinces, and is actually in vigour. " On the legal immovable basis of an order of determined succession, and of the indivisibility and inseparability of its integral parts, placed in accord with the rights and liberties of our said kingdoms and territories, and which has since then been aggrandised and fortified by international treaties, the Austrian monarchy has vanquished and repressed, with the constant support of the fidelity, devotedness, and bravery of its peoples, the dangers and aggressions which menaced it. " For the sake of our house and our subjects it is our sovereign duty to maintain the power of the Austrian monarchy, and to grant, in order to con solidate it, the guarantees of rights clearly and un equivocally defined, and acting in common accord. It is only the institutions and rights which respond equally to the traditional rights and to the existing diversity of our kingdoms and provinces, and to the exigencies of their individual and inseparable union that can offer these guarantees in all their plenitude. " Considering that the elements of the common organic institutions have ten developed and for tified by the equality of our subjects in the eye of the law, by the free exercise of religion guaranteed to every one, by admissibility to public functions independently of rank and birth, and by the sub jection of all to payment of taxes, by the sup pression of forced labour, and of the customs lines between the different countries of our monarchy ; considering further, that by the con centration of the power of the State in all the countries of the European continent, the common direction of great affairs has become an indis pensable necessity for the security of our monarchy and the prosperity of its provinces, in order to remove the differences previously existing between our kingdoms and provinces by means of a properly regulated participation of our subjects in the legislature and administration on the basis of the Pragmatic Sanction, and it virture of our autho rity, we have thought proper to decide and ordain what hereafter follows as the fundamental and 1 irrevocable law of the State for ourselves as well as for our legitimate successors : " I. The right of giving, changing, and suppres sing laws shall not be exercised by ourselves and our successors, otherwise than with the consent of the Diets legally assembled, and of the Council of the Empire, to which the Diets shall send a number of members to be fixed by us. " 11. Henceforth shall be discussed in the Council of the Empire, and decided with its concurrence, all legislative questions affecting the rights, duties, and interests which are common to all our king doms and countries, viz., the question of thecoinage, money, and credit, that of customs and commerce; then the question of the bases of the bank, that of the post-office, telegraphs, and railways; the ques tion of recruiting the army for the future, as well as the imposition of new taxes and increasing those now existing, especially that on salt, and the con tracting of new loans, in conformity with our decree of July 17, 1860; the conversion of the public debt, and the sale, exchange, or mortgaging of the Crown lands shall henceforth also be effected only with the consent of the Council of the Empire. Lastly, the fixing of the budget of the expenditure for the coming year, the regulating of the accounts and of the result of the annual expenditure can only be effected with the co-operation of the Council. "111. All other legislative questions, not com prised in the preceding article, shall be decided by the Diets, and as to kingdom and provinces ap pertaining to the Crown of Hungary, in the sense of their anci en t ceis tit a ti ons , an d f or our o th er kingdoms and provinces in the sense of their peculiar institutions. But as, with the exception of the provinces of the Hungarian Crown, certain legislative questions, which are not of the exclusive competence of the Council of the Empire, have been treated during many years past for all our other provinces in a general manner, we reserve to ourselves to allow these questions also to be treated by the Council of the Empire, after consulting the councils of those provinces. A common action may also take place, when the Diet interested shall ex press such desire, except in the case of objects reserved for the Council of the Empire. • " IV. This Imperial Patent shall be preserved in the archives of our kingdoms and provinces, and hereafter shall be introduced into the Code of the country, in an authentic text, and in the different languages of the Empire. Our successors, on their accession to the throne, shall affix their Imperial signature to this Patent, and address it to each of our kingdoms, where it shall be inserted in the Code of the laws of the country. " We ourselves have affixed our signature, our Imperial seal, and we have ordered that this Patent shall be preserved in the archives of our House, of the Court, and of the State." " Given at our capital and residence at Vienna, this 20th ,day of October, in the year one thousand MILAN, Oct. 22.—The capital of Lombardy is quiet, but not easy in mind. The Austrians are at its gates, and no man in the world—not excepting evex the young Emperor on whose beck they de pend—can safely say when they may march across the borders. The movements of the Mantuan garri son are watched not without interest here. The wea ther is getting rather cold in North Italy for mere pleasure manoeuvres, and pe o pl e as k what may be the use of the 8,000 men sent to reinforce that garrison, raising its numbers to an effective force of 15,000, irrespective of the Culoz Regiment stationed on the left bank of the Mincio at Villafranca and Vallegio ; of the Don Miguel Regiment, who have lately taken up a position on the northern bank of the Po—a river already thronged with troops on the left along a line stretching from Borgoforte to Romanore, San Cataldo,,and Bocca di Ganda, and on the right all---over those Mantuan districts of Sermide, Gonzaga, and San Benedetto, placed in the very heart of the lEmilia, and left in the hands of the Austrians by a fatal oversight of Napoleon 111.—a fertile source of discord, a risk, and a snare, endangering the peace of Europe no less than the freedom of Italy. In the Cispadane districts there are now from 5,000 to 6,000 men, who expect to be reinforced by other corps, especially by several Croatian battalions. For their own part, the Italian Government are also concentrating their forces on the frontier. The entrenched camp at Piacenza is defended by the 13th Division, which has just returned from the campaign in the Marches, and by six brigades, among which is the Piedmontese Brigade, together with two cavalry regiments, two Bersaglieri batta lions, and nine field batteries. The detached bat talions of the mobilised National Guards quartered at Alessandria, Pavia, Bologna, &c., were yesterday asked by an order of the day whether they would suffer their term of service, which bound them for 40 days, to be prolonged for some time. The inti mation was received with a perfect storm of enthu siastic devotion everywhere ; even those battalions which were not comprehended in that contemplated prolongation eagerly clamoured that they should not be sent home in this supreme emergency. The cries of " Viva it Re ! Viva l'ltalia !" resounded in the barracks, and were taken up by the aroused po pulation. No doubt the Austrians, if they advanced upon any of those Italian strongholds, would meet with a moral resistance upon which their generals, relying merely on material strength, are not wonted to calculate. Nevertheless, the anxiety is great, although not openly avowed, and the only hopes of the Lombards and lEmilians rest on the delays occasioned at Vienna by the desire to know the results of the Warsaw Conference, and to see the effects of the constitution, promulgated yesterday at noon by the Austrian Government, on the population of the Danubian Provinces. If the time lost by Austria in coming to terms with her subjects and her neigh bours allows the Italians to accomplish their South ern enterprise, and reunite their regular forces on the Po and Mincio, before the contest begins, it would be a disgrace if united Italy were not able to engage in such a struggle without looking either to France or to any foreign Power for aid. Count Cavour wisely intimated to the House of Deputies that the country was not yet organised to such an extent as to warrant an attack upon Austria ; but he never said, and he surely never meant, that the kingdom already united under Victor Emmanuel was not strong enough to fight in self-defence ; and that Bologna, Piacenza, and Alessandria could not, by the combined efforts of soldiers and citizens, be held against all .odds that not only Austria, but Germany and Russia also, could conspire to bring against them. A free people can never be made to have too great confidence in the justice of their own cause, and the means which duty and devotion place in their hands to uphold it. It was by a most bene ficent stroke of Providence, the Italians begin now to feel, that the tide of Frencti conquest stopped last year at the Mincio, leaving by far the greater part of the enterprise to be achieved by the people themselves of the country, and holding over them the constant threat of a return of that hateful state of things from which the programme of Milan seemed to have freed them for ever. It required no less to hush up all the worst passions, and to keep the best faculties of this people on the stretch. It is well that the Milanese should be quiet ; it is as well that they should not be too easy in mind. In the meanwhile, we have tidings from the South of the first victories of the Piedmontese army ; of the triumph of Cialdini at Isernia (the gallant and luckly general is sure always to turn up at the right moment) ; of a Neapolitan general, Scotti, with 50 officers, 800 men, a stand of colours, and a section of a park of artillery fallen into his kands. Before Capua, on the 19th, the eight battalions of the King's Brigade took their station in the front line of the Garibaldian forces. The volunteers under General Turr were greatly worn out by the hardships and privations to which they had been exposed during their campaign on the Volturno. Their numbers had dwindled not only on account of the casualties of their frequent en counters with the enemy, but also in consequence of fevers and other complaints, by which it is said that no less than 30 men are daily sent to the hos pitals. The ambulance and commissariat under Garibaldi are still in that deplorable state of dis order inseparable, as it would seem, from the nature of a volunteer service. Some of the advanced posts at San Tammaro and Aversa stood in the presence of the enemy without receiving any sort of provi sions for more than 48 hours ; and, what is more, their wounded could be neither tended nor removed for an equally long space of time. The Garibaldian army has no tents, and it is only partially and in differently supplied with blankets. The red flannel shirt is found to be, however showy, rather an un eomfortable uniform, and it is with great joy that these troops lately heard the announcement that they would shortly be clad in the gray overcoat and trousers of the Piedmontese ordonnance. If shoes and linen were also forthcoming, no doubt that would add to the health and efficiency of the gal lant men who have hitherto gone through greater trials than mere flesh and blood are equal to. If Cialdini's Piedmontese, as may be easily pre sumed, in a few days achieve Garibaldi's work at Capua and Gaeta, aad if the news we already re ceive of the results of the plebiscite at Naples are confirmed by subsequent bulletins, all Italy will have leisure to gather herself up, and muster on the Po and Mincio to see what mischief renovated and constitutional Austria has yet in store for her. As it is, King Victor Emmanuel and Francis Joseph are running a neck-and-neck race; the world is yet to see whether the former will be able to accomplish the conquest of the south of Italy before the latter attempts to dispute with him the possession of the North.

A letter from Naples, dated Oct. 14, says : The long expected Empereur came in this morn ing with a portion of the British Legion, and was followed later in the day by the Melazzo with an other portion. Salutes were fired and returned and the city was all alive with expectation. It was believed, of course, that they would have landed immediately, especially as they had been so long on the voyage, the Melazzo having left England on the 24th of September, and the Empereur a week later. By some most astonishing mismanagement, however, or want of management, no barracks had been assigned them and no kind of preparation whatever. Let the blame rest wherever it may, I conceive the whole affair to be most disgraceful. Our countrymen had been expected several weeks ; their arrival had been the common talk of the whole of the city, and yet when they entered the port there was not a place for them to rest their heads. I went on board in the afternoon by special per mission, and talked with the officers and men. They were indignant at being kept in their wooden prison for more than 24 hours after their arrival, and, rather than remain, expressed their willing ness to sleep on the ground ashore, The cook and staff had gone ashore, feeling confident that the legion would have landed, so that our brave countrymen on the first day of their arrival in Naples were compelled to dine on bread and butter and biscuit. The voyage had been favourable, though the Melazzo people complained of having been kept 10 days in Cagliari, and all said that there was no system on board, breakfast sometimes not being served till 10 or 11 o'clock, and dinner at not before 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening. " Some of the fellows I have seen in a half starving state" said one man. I never saw a finer body of men in my life, and I have no doubt but that they will do honour to the British name. We have all classes of men— such as officers, doctors, and lawyers, and trades men, and public employes, and all anxious to push on to the front, but they want a week's feeding up and good training. There are many old soldiers, and in the ranks we have dozens of men who were officers. A very painful incident happened as soon as the vessels entered, and one to which I desire to al lude with the greatest possible reserve at present. Major Styles was put under arrest and still remains so in his hetel:in Santa Lucia, with a sentinel at the door. I regret that the entrance of the le gion should have been inaugurated by such a fact, and that greater publicity than was neces sary should have been given to transactions which might have been examined into in Eng land or on board ship. Styles expresses the most perfect willingness to submit to a full inquiry, and, such being the case, why was not that inquiry made in a more private manner, before the harsh mea sures which I have already noted were resorted to, and the scandal avoided of a commanding officer being under arrest while the regiment was parading in triumph through the town ? It is premature, of course, to enter into the charges which are made, but I shall watch the procedure impartially. It was a gay sight which the red coats presented on board, and great crowds of people had collected to catch a glimpse; the general expectation, of course, was that they would have landed, and parties of the. National Guard, and of all classes of society, with banners at their head, went down to greet them. The harbour was crowded with boats full of people, who circled about the newly-arrived vessels, shouting " Viva Inghilterra !" " Viva gli In glesi !" and bouquets of flowers were sent on board as presents. I remained till late, and then, finding that there was no chance of there being any land ing, went on shore. OCTOBER 15. It was a sulky, drizzling morning, and we were in despair lest the brilliant spectacle might be spoilt by the rain. As 10 o'clock, however, approached the sun deigned to smile upon us a little, and then re tired into his gloomy reserve, and so he continued yielding and sulking the whole day. There was brightness, however, just sufficient to put us in good humour, so early in the morning every one of us turned out. The Neapolitans, of course, were out in the prima mattina, so fond are they of spectacle, and it would require a brush dipped in the rain bow to paint all that passed before me on this strik ing occasion of a landing of 650 of our countrymen. On driving through the town we found almost every one, like ourselves, making for the arsenal, before the gates of which were assembled vast crowds of expectants ; but, hearing that the pro cession was to come out on the other side, just under the windows from which not two months since I saw the Bourbons looking out, we hurried back, and took up our place under the balcony from which Ferdinand IL periodically reviewed whole regiments of monks following in procession the image of their patron saint. What a mighty change. The ladders were planted against the gateway, and the lilies had not only faded, but had been removed by the hands of the workmen at is. Bd. a day. Thus falls a dynasty of despots—of despots who will not learn from experience or march with the age, who regard themselves as the Vicegerents of God, and all the earth as theirs, and the cattle (read " Italians") on a thousand hills. There are Padre Gavazzi and Saffi ; the Padre comes up to us and talks of the great movement of which he is the Luther, and hopes, with the blessing of God, that he may give some light to the people. He passes on amid cheers of " Gavazzi ! Gavazzi !" Then comes procession after procession of National Guards with flags ; of the populace shouting " Viva Inglalterra !" " Viva gli inglesi !" and we take off our hats; of crowds headed by young women with banners over their shoulders, and flowers and ever greens; and the Piazza is crowded with thousands of human beings, many of them doubtless only curious to see a spectacle, many of them, however, entering deeply into the real sentiment of the scene, and regarding it as an expression of the public mind in favour of liberty ; and the English—honoured name—were the great centre of interest. I re member—a year ago, when the war is Lombardy was raging, that Englishmen were pooh-poohed in Naples, and now they are overwhelmed with honours. Why ? Because we have spent our thousands for the Italian cause ? No ! This change of feeling is a homage to our national integrity and consistency ; and let every Englishman remember that he is an element in the composition of the nation, and is bound, as a true son of his country, to stand by and maintain the eternal principles of honour. For myself, I think we should have merited yet more if, amid the sympathies which every man must feel with struggling Italy, we had been more precise in condemning certain lines of conduct, instead of calling black white or trying to gloss over what is indefensible. I cannot, however, keep the crowds standing while I am moralising. Here they aro surging on, and music and clapping of hands an nounce that at last the real business of the day is beginning. The flags of the National Guard a ppear above the ascent from the arsenal, and then the newly created militia, really fine-looking military men, and they were greeted on all sides with IL as sung to the tunes of Garibaldi and Victor Em ma : nuel. There is a great display of white hand ket. chiefs, and the Vivas and the clippings are re doubled as the English appear, and all pass under the palace windows, flanked and thronged by thou. sands of spectators, who applause them" Viva Vitto r i o it; e , mto the ech o , They carry the tricoloured,fiagwith Emmanuele" inscribed upon bouquet on his bayonet and a dahlia on his breast, and young Styles has a garland round his hat. A. finer set of fellows I never looked upon. H eaven preser ve them am id the danger to which th ey w ill be exposed! But where is the colonel, wh o s h ould have been on horseback at the head of his men, or the Minister of War, or the Pro-Dictator, or some and who are what they are, not because they have not all the elements of good within them, but be cause the image of God within them has been de faced by brutal rulers, and yet more by. an igno rant, superstitious, abandoned, and self-seeking priesthood. I could note many incidents of interest, —how a jolly monk headed one procession with a flag over his shoulder; how a woman headed ano ther ; how a fine looking British officer had been laid hold of by the beard by an elderly lady—it was a pity that she was not young—and kissed. But here we are at the gates of the temporary barrack of the legion. The National Guard file off and our ' countrymen enter amid the last shouts of the crowd. I thought at times the demonstation might have been warmer, but half the houses are unoccu pied and the people out of town; the doubtful weather kept many away, and especially the ladies, who would not dare to wet the soles of their feet ; and there is a strong reactionary feeling and much timidity. At the back of the building is a large yard, where the battalion was formed, and cheers were given for Major Styles, who is a great fa vourite with the men. The band of the National Guard arrived and played " God save the Queen" in good style, and we did the lady of our land the honours due to her, and then the hymn to Gari baldi, the glorious Garibaldi, was played. Ven ders of every kind of eatables crept in and plied their frauds most busily, until the appearance of the police, who were most courteous and attentive in appointing persons to regulate the prices and guard the pockets of the men. All seemed to be delighted with the day, in good spirits, and longing to be sent to the front. " Three cheers for old England !" they shouted over and over again as they marched along, and it was plea sant for one who yearns after his country to hear them joining in chorus as they walked through the city, and winding up with the burden Of ." Merrl, Old England." I have fault to find again with the arrangements, or non-arrangements. Until the last moment of their entering the barracks nothing in the shape of dinner had been ordered for the officers, and it was only by special exertion that rations had been sent up for the men ; but everything is in disorder. Later in the day there was almost a refusal to march forwards unless Major Styles was liberated, so that Colonel Peard was compelled to enter into some explanations in order to restore order. Of course, I do not doubt the honourable and good intentions of those who have the direction of this unpleasant incident, but I still think that there has been much precipitation and imprudence. TILE SECRETARYSHIP FOR TilE TREASURY. (From the Times.) By the appointment of Mr. Laing to the situation of Fourth Legislative Councillor in India a vacancy has been created in the very important office of the Secretary for the Treasury, and an opportu nity is offered, of which w e gladly avail ourselves, of calling public attention to the state of this de partment of the Government. The first and most important duty of the Treasury is to check expen diture. Without its consent no other department is allowed to put its hand into the public purse. It stands guardian over the national income, and not only will not permit money to be spent that has not been voted, but will not allow money to be asked for which in its opinion is not required. The absence of this central check is, perhaps, the greatest defect in the whole miserable system of Indian finance ; its presence has done far more than the supervision of the House of Commons— which is more apparent than real, and has a far greater political than financial significance—to keep our revenue on a level with the calls upon it. It might be expected that a department to which are intrusted functions so varied and so pervading —which has, by its control over the purse, the means of directing, to a great extent, the opera tions of all other departments—which stands, in fact, towards them much in the same relation in which the House of Commons itself stands to the other parts of the Government—should itself be a model of perfect organisation, and of a complete and accurate distribution of its business among those who are to transact it. No expectation was ever more fallacious. If we wanted an instance of the usual makeshift way in which we manage things in England—of a more than ordinaryoegn con tempt of everything like a scientific d anitd i n logical the Treasury. The department propenrin arrangement,—we should easily Y cons ists of a Of these the ste First Lord, being PrimelMini Board of Lords and a Secretary- as o ther things of ex to occupy his attention beyonvedry littl d e to etails do with penditure, and has, in fact, defined by Mr. the department.

But e ven he, t n he, though having practically n o office, is not allowed to exercise superior in his. without control. The head of what is really Chancellor of the Ex t sh e —has that con ro ON er e Secretary of the chaquer h has somehow slipped through the r h e i a s ll P y whie powers without up Dy saying that the Treasury is Treasury { m y Lords, so that the whole thing may fi n gers 0 - , e ad Secretary, be summ ed Who is in his turn another department. The practically what might be apprehended. governed bbyythtehhe The Secretary is emancipated from the control of one superior without being fully submitted to the control of another, and thus • effect is enjoys a degree of power and importance quite incommensurate with the nominal importance of his place. Besides these obvious faults of •t• organiza ion, the Treasury has yet a more serious fault in the func tions which it ex • erctscs. The Treasury is, as we have shown, the department which controls the ex penditure of other departments, and it is therefore quite clear that it ought to have nothing to do with originating expenditure itself. If no other department is to be entrusted with its own expen diture without a check, this must be the case with the Treasury itself. The eye can see everything but itself, and the Treasury may check every one else except—the Treasury. Yet we have had re peated instances of late years of the Treasury, in the case of contracts, guarantees, and even original expenditure, imposing burdens on the country - The natural result has followed. These op erat, wl tions, being conducted by a single depar o t " of have in many cases excited the oetn_e '! "It _ the public, and have by no T eigio f r garded with that implicit confideleeovlM we are accustomed to look u p on the p&hniai Ea beedings of GoVernment. The inference fri :m all the department should be recas t, - and its f , .ci s carefully reconsidered. 'Of -this, however, we see little prospect. Those whc ) take upon themselves the necessary and honot treble office of correctors of abuses devote their attention to other and less useful objects. A reform of ;this kind will hardly come from within, nor from 4rith. out, unless some popularity were to be gained I )y it, of which there is, of course, no chance. Irt the meantime, then, the best thing that can be do n ie is to select for the arduous and responsible offioe of Secretary of the Treasury a person whose poll timal and official antecedents are more conimensu rate to its real importance than to its nominal rank; who will not 0n1y , 4 a viiilant guardian of the revenue, but will keep"" -tear of the questions ,ble practice of originating expenditure in a departre tent formed expressly to check it, and who may be a. safe adviser and efficient representative of the Chance llor of the Exchequer in all matters into which he' (tan not or will not inquire himself. Such a person we do not doubt that the ( To vernment of Lord Palmerston has secured in Mr. Frederick Peel. He is a man of indepen dent character and independent means. `'V:9 look to him for the discharge of duties which; are among the most useful, if among the least ostentatious, that can devolve on a pubiSc man. We do not doubt tthat we shall find in Idm a faithful guardian of the public puree and ast urdy an d immovable opponent of anything which has the least tincture or semblance of a job. We ex . - peat to have no more of improvident contracts an& reckless guarantees, no more rumours of useful information conveniently leaking out, no more of those vehement assaults on the public purse which have come from the very quarter from which it ought to look for pro tection. But we expect even more• than this. The. duty of the Treasury is not only to check expenditure, but to revise taxation... We are not fortunate at this moment in the hands upon which that duty has devolved. From Mr. Gladstone's own extraordinary and inexcusable im prudence, and not from any captiousness bl u e h part of the Parliament or people of this country,. has it come to pass that every step which he taw is regarded with the deepest suspicion, and that there is a general opinion abroad that our interests are safer in any hands than his. We rely upon Mr. F. Peel to offer a steady opposition to the sub versive tendencies of his chief. We are weary ,of glitter and brilliancy ; we sigh for a little prudence and solidity. We want as a coadjutor to Mr. Gladstone some one who will be satisfied wiith change a little short of revolutionary, some ones who will throw his whole weight into the scale to preserve the equilibrium between direct and i adi rect taxation. Such a man we believe we have in Mr. F. Peel. He has an opportunity of dtoing great public service, and of founding a reputation which shall stand him in good stead in the political changes of coming years. A better choice could not have been made. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY FORKS NEAR DO VER. On Tuesday afternoon, at a little after one o'clock, as the navvies engaged in making the line to *Dover were at work at a bridge at Temple Ewen , the whole structure suddenly gave way with a ter. rifle crash. Three men were at work under it at ,the time, and they were all buried under the r0r1. 4 - Immediate efforts were made for the recovery of the bodies, but it was not until two hours had elapsed that they were dug out. Quite dead, we* need not say, they were ; and two of them had sus taiaed the most dreadful injuries, their faces being so bruised that they were unrecognisable. Their names were Henry Jackson, George Hammond, and - Ramie. They were at once removed to the George and Dragon, Ewell, and information was conveyed to the coroner for East Kent, Mr.- T. T. Delasaux. The inquest was held by Mr. Delasaux, at the George and Dragon, at a little after one yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. Mr. Potter was named foreman. The jury first viewed the bodies of the unfortunate men, and afterwards went to the scene of the accident. Previously the coroner had in a few appropriate observations explained to them that, though the accident had resulted in the death of three persons, yet the jury might confine their at tention to the case of Henry Jackson, because it was presumed that the same cause which produced his death produced also that of the other two. He felt it necessary to request the jury to visit the scone of the casualty, because they would not otherwise have a clear idea of all the circumstances attend- ing it. After their return the f01..° wing witnesses were called : Thomas Russell—l come from Worcestershire, and am engaged on the railway works at Ewell, as labourer. I havFsecn the body of the deceased, and I identify it as that of Henry Jackson, my half-brother. I cannot say. anything as to the cause of death. I had left the cutting about six minutes before the bridge fell. For the last week I have been working under or near it. The deceased has been also so employed. I was working all yester day with the deceased. I heard the bridge fall just as I had got out of the cutting. I ran back at once. I am employed by Mr. Pa:loon ; but I do not think he is the contractor for the erection of the bridge. I have seen the bricks as they now lie. Most of them seem as clean of mortar as ever they were. Some have a little mortar ; but many, I should think, can never have had a particle of mortar on them. I cannot say whether the bridge was properly built. I. have seen many buildings pulled down, and the bricks in these cases have always had a , great deal of mortar sticking to them—very differ , ent to the bricks of this bridge. I was present when my brother was dug out. I did not assist the work men. He was quite dead. His body was much injured. The Coroner asked Mr. Macdonald (Mr. Cramp ton's agent) who was responsible for the building of the bridge ? Mr. Macdonald—Messrs. Hawley, of Dover. I think they had the sub-contract for its erection, and they did not sub-let it to any one. Mr. Delasaux—The - bridge must be rebuilt. Who will rebuild it ? Mr. M ills, the resident engineer of the comilinY —Mr. Crampton, I should think. He is noble " rm. I to the company, and Messrs. Hawley to . selves, and did not sub-let it. They aPPe'nw a understand that Messrs.
