The Morning News and all other j' aurnals of sg . I h ave already kindred tendency are furious — as mentioned—at the bare suggestion el 'en that th e valiant young men, late the Pope's Lit ili Brigade, should owe their deliverance from t h e it present , unhappy position to the joint interferem ce of the British and Sardinian Governments. Thee journal first indicated has this morning a tirade' on the subject, the only meaning derivable from it being that some occult design to insult and injure` It'e land lurks beneath the supposed benevolent in tentions of the Governments referred to. Whe It the statement was first made that the British Go vernment intended to interfere in the matter, it was peremptorily denied by the News, and in its publication of this day it characterises as " a base lie and an impotent trick" an announcement, through the telegraph, that the Cork Examiner contained a letter from the Sardinian Consul- General in London, addressed to the father of one of the Irish prisoners, now in the hands of the Sardinians, stating that arrangements had been made between the Sardinian and British Govern-. meats that those prisoners should be sent to Ire land at the ioint expense of those Governments. Nevertheless, it is quite a fact that th e l e tt er ap peared in the Examiner , and I am disposed to believe, notwsthstanding the News, that the Sar dinian Consul has Li tied and meant no trick, impotent or otherwize. The letter is as follews : " Sardinian Consulate-General. "London, 31, Old Jewry, Oct. 23. . "Sir,--I hasten to inform you that the Sardinian Arabassodor, in answer to my inquiries, has replied that arrangements have been made between the Sardinian and British Governments that the Irish prisoners shall be sent to Ireland at their joint expense, and that they will arrive there very shortly. He does not think, therefore, it would be worth while to send your son any money. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant (for the Sardinian Consul-General), " ROBERT A. HEATH, Viee-Ccnsttl." The Examiner also publishes the following special telegram : "Five hundred men of the Irish Brigade arrived in Paris yesterday on their way home to Ireland, and may reach Cork within 24 hours after the publication of this announcement. Those who be-. lieve that the brigade have maintained the honour' of their country by their courage and fidelity should be ready to receive them with every mark of respect. Hospitality and comforts are necessary to their present condition. The local committee, assisted by others, should at once prepare for their honour able reception; lodgings and clothes are essential in the first instance, and Cork should contribute both at its own cost." ~~t~~~~ Until the 31st OCTOBER, First, Second, and Third Class TOURISTS' TICKETS Will be issued from EUSTON STATION, LONDON, to the undermentioned places of interest in SCotland, available for one calender month : NC. 21,305.

Mechanies 'lnstitution took place on Saturday evening, when amongst others Lord Stanley and several other members of Parliament were present. After the preliminary toasts had been disposed of, Lord STANLEY rose to give the toast of the even ing, and was very warmly cheered. After some in troductory remarks his lordship said—ln speaking of the position and prospects of popular education in England, and especially in these districts, there are two difficulties to be encountered. In the first place, a speech on educational matters is not usually very attractive either to hear or to read. One reason of that is the very importance which we all feel attaches to the subject. It is not a new thing to anybody, but one on which most of us have thought and read—on which all of us have heard something, whether we wished it or not, and on which members of Parliament, generally speaking, have heard much more than they desired. (Laughter.) Consequently, when people open their newspaper, and see a column headed " Lord So-and-So on Popular Education," the chances are that nine out of ten of the readers turn the sheet over, remarking perhaps that the editor must be badly off for news. (Laughter.) In the next place, not merely educa tional matters, but all questions of home adminis tration or concern, occupy at this moment in men's minds a comparatively subordinate position. There are before us at this time questions of momentous European interest, of which the next year or two may witness the solution, and it is perfectly natural, and not unreasonable, that people of all classes should be drawn rather to speculate whether Italy can be united, the Turkish empire hold together, or the desolating wars of half a century ago must be repeated in this generation, than to attend much to' the humble, homely, commonplace affairs of their county or parish. Now, gentlemen, both these things must be so, and lam not disposed to complain. It is rather an advantage than the contrary, that a subject which to those who are really zealous for the common good presents the deepest interest, should not be one which lends itself most easily to the convenience of those speakers who only wish to make out of it what is called political capital. Also, whatever internal improvements be imperilled or delayed, it is well for the power and influence of England abroad, and even for our safety at home, that the English people--never really in earnest on more than one subject at a time—should have given their minds to military preparations and national defences, with a unity and a'determination such as the oldest among us can recollect to have witnessed before, and which leave comparatively little time or thought for matters less pressing at the moment. Perhaps the cause of education does not really lose by being less prominent in men's thoughts than it was a few years ago. We have time to reflect more calmly, and therefore to judge more fairly upon many points which were formerly involved in con troversy and dispute; and with every year that passes we get a little at least of that practical expe rience, that invaluable teaching of facts, of which I believe most Englishmen agree in thinking that a very little is worth all the speculation and theory ever spun from the ingenious brains of men. (Hear.) There are one or two conclusions on the subject of education which appear to be universally come to. The first is that on whatever system or principle you establish what are called primary school s— whether set on foot by the landowners individually or by ratepayers as a body, whether assisted by Government or left alone, still we must expect that a very large proportion of those who attend them, ' leaving them at the age they do, will acquire nothing beyond the bare rudiments of knowledge— the power to read, write, and cipher. Of course there are many exceptions, but that I believe is the general rule. These schools are not places in which education can be given, they are schools in which opportunities are given to those who attend them— if at a later period of their lives they so please—to educate themselves. That fact being once admitted, I think this consequence follows—that the impor tance which has often been attached to the particu lar system on which schools are conducted is very greatly diminished. Provided you can get the chil dren to attend them, that the masters are compe tent, and the discipline good, I for my own part care little on what system the schools are estab lished, believing that they do not give education, bat only give the means of acquiring it hereafter ; and the direction which the studies of the man will take is very little determined by the accident of the school he has attended. (Hear, hear.) The other con clusion in which I think people have come gene rally to agree is, that what we have to complain of in educational matters is not so much the number of children who attend any school at all, inconsi derable as it is when compared with the population as a whole, but rather the irregular attendance of those who do frequent the schools, and the early age at which they leave, with the consequent liabi lity to lose altogether in later years even that small portion of knowledge which may have been ac quired. If you could ascertain—which you cannot —the proportion of young men who can read and write well at the age of 17, and the proportion of these same persons who can read and write well at 30, you would find the falling off between those two ages far greater probably than almost any of us have an,idea of, even among those who have at tended closely to the subject. Now, neither the ir regular attendance nor the early leaving can be alto gether remedied, as both are attributable mainly to the desire—natural and honourable in itself, and more prevalent, as I believe, among the working classes of England than in any other country, except perhaps the United States—which every lad has to get his own living as soon as he can, rather than re main a burthen to his parents. We very often com plain of parents taking away their children from school, but I believe in many cases the children have quite as much to do with it as he parents, be cause a lad feels himself more of a man, and has a natural pride on the first day he begins an indepen dent existence, and can carry home the earnings of his own labour. If, then, the time of school attend ance must be short, and the attendance itself irre gular, and if at the same time there exists, as is un doubtedly the case, a very general desire among at least a' part of the working classes for the means of further instruction; we are inevitably led to the re quirement of some institution holding to the ordinary school a similar relation to that in ocsw w cluaa h hssn i os c toea h lsnsh. da t vo h euf e universities stand to the public Hitherto beeneg England r ualm intah nefyr attemptsq au differentne d n t epda theirr to soy of supply u h tp the successel yhg coun try. Tt a h hra e i In some of the great towns, as Liverpool, Man chester, and, I believe, Leeds, mechanics' institutes are really flourishing, and accomplishing the ends for which they were set on foot. It is sometimes objected that persons frequent them who arc of a wealthier class than those for whom they were in tended. Well, so long as wor ki ng men are not ex cluded, or don't exclude themselves, I see no harm, but rather good, in this mixture of classes, provided it take place naturally, and without any affecta tion. And while the son of the mechanic is learn ing it is quite right that the son of the sm a ll trades man should not be remaining idle. As a general rule, however, these institutions, while supplying a want throughout the country which i s genera ll y felt, and while accomplishing much good, have un deniably fallen short of original hopes and expec tations. Sometimes the libraries on which they chiefly relied for attraction were scanty o r ill- c h osen —very often the lectures, being desultory or incon secutive, were not capable of imparting rea l infor mation : sometimes political or sectarian feeling crept in, and of course ruined everything; and even where none of these causes operated, the public _,~.; could have no sufficient guarantee for the efficiency of the teaching in the evening classes. Of late years there have been great efforts at improvement, which I have not time at present to do more than glance at. The principal and most effective has been the associating together of various institutions, with the three-fold advantage of attracting greater notice of and publicity to the union than the small insti tutions could have commanded singly, of obtaining competent teachers to organise and direct local efforts, and—most important of all—of establishing a competition for prizes and certificates, taking in a sufficient area of country and number of candi dates to make it a real and not nominal competition. In East Lancashire and Yorkshire the experiment has been attended with marked success. In Man chester, also, the principle of association has been acted on, t hough the details are not precisely the same. Another step in advance has been the establishment of local examinations, such as those of the Society of Arts, by which young men more than ordinarily proficient are brought under the notice of employers, and they and their parents enabled to feel that some practical good will come out of the time and trouble they have bestowed. (Cheers.) It is im possible to say how far these plans may succeed, they have only been tried within the last few years, but whatever may be the result, I am quite sure they promise better than anything otherwise attempted with the same object, which is one that we should do our best to promote. (Hear, hear.) So much, gentlemen, as to the machinery of educa tional institutions. I am not going to waste your j time by talking of the pleasures and advantages of _knowledge, that is a subject which, however in teresting, is worn so utterly threadbare that nothing can be said upon it which you have not often heard before ; but one remark may be allowed me, not as from any theories I have heard or read, but from such small experience as chance has thrown in my way. For four years and a half I have acted as chairman of the Kirkdale quarter sessions. In that time some hundreds of cases have come before me of the kind usually dealt with by inferior tribunals, and nothing has struck me more in the course of their investigation than the utter stupidity—l can use no other word for it—the utter absence of intel ligence and common sense, and utter inability to calculate or comprehend the consequences of what they were doin g, which seems to me to mark by far the greater portion of habitual offenders. (Hear.) It is quite the exception, so far as my experience goes, to find any man b roug ht up as an h a bi tua l criminal who is not in point of understanding very far below the average of his class. It is equally an exception to find one who is not more or less given to intemperate habits. (Hear, hear.) The intel lectual and moral deficiency appear to go together, and surely from that it is a reasonable inference that the more you can do to increase men's intelligence, and give them other interests and employments, since idle habits are those which lead to drunken habits, the more you will do to lessen the amount of at least the grosser forms of crime in this country; and it is that gross and vulgar form of crime which constitutes nine-tenths of the whole. I don't mean to say that the mere power of reading and writing will make that difference ; what will make the difference is the thoughtful habit of mind, the wider range of interests and ideas, the habit of looking to the past and future as well as the present, and the having some other pleasures besides mere physical excitement—some other ideas besides those suggested by the routine of daily life. (Hear.) Turning now to your local affairs, I may congratulate you on the great exer tions you have made here in the cause of education. I have had the pleasure of seeing your museum and free library, which are supported, I am told, by subscriptions from all classes ; you have also schools abundantly sufficient for the wants of the town, and amply maintained ; you have the School of Art, with 170 pupils, and likely, if I may judge from samples, to turn out pupils who will do hon our to this place; and you have two other institu tions—one of them being that on behalf of which I am now speaking—acting together, on somewhat different principles, but in friendly co-operation, and by no means in antagonistic rivalry, to perform a work that is arduous enough to overtax them both. (Cheers.) Like most other establishments of this character, your mechanics' institute has had its ups and downs. The number of subscribers had of late years fallen off, and it had almost ceased to be avail able' for working men, when its promoters adopted a measure which had certainly the merit of courage, and which seems to have answered its purpose. The rate of subscription has been reduced to a point at which, I apprehend, it can hardly, in the long run, cover .the expenses. As a temporary measure, it is proved that you were right, because the result has been to add 900 members to the previous 400; and you anticipate an ultimate increase to 2,000 or 3,000. The first thing to do is undoubtedly to create an in terest—to show that the institution is living and doing good—and then you may rely on support from various quarters. But when matters settle down a little, and when the crisis is over, I hope that it will be found possible to place the insti tution, not merely in a condition of prosperity as regards the numbers who attend it, but absolutely and fairly self-supporting. When I say self-supporting, I mean that it shall be maintained by the subscriptions of those who use it, and not merely by contributions or subsidies, however libe ral, from other quarters. It is a poor story, if working men, fully employed, and for the most part well paid, are not able, in a town like this; to keep up an institution intended for their advantage, and which, by entering it in such numbers, they have shown that they really value. (Hear, hear.) If I know anything of working men in these towns, oue of their strongest feelings is an honourable and almost jealous sentiment of independence and self respect, and nothing goes nearer to their hearts than an appeal to them to keep up the honour of their class. I hope, therefore, in a year or two we shall hear that this institution is at length main tained by its own regular subscribers, and does not stand in need of casual donations, however libe rally intended. One thing I must s ay in praise of those who have had the management. They have been under great temptations, considering the former position of the undertaking, to sacrifice the future to the present, and embarrass themselves by contracting debt. Those temptations they have altogether resisted, and at this moment I am told there is not a shilling of debt upon the institution. (Hear, hear.) Just one thing more, gentlemen, and I have done. Whatever you do, or leave undone, let me entreat you to keep these questions of educa tion from becoming party questions in this town. I have no reason; to suppose that here they have ever been so, or that they are likely to be so ; but I have for some years taken an interest in these matters, and in more than one place I have seen plans that in themselves held out every prospect of success break down simply because their promoters had suffered them to get mixed up with some petty local dispute. In this country, as in every free country, we shall always have political parties, and certainly the tendency at the present day is rather to multiply than diminish the number of religious de nominations. But ignorance is no help to any party or to any sect, it is merely a common danger and com mon enemy ; and if we understand our interest aright we shall all unite, whether conservatives, liberals, churchmen, or otherwise, in the same spirit and with the same energy as we should rally to resist invasion. (Hear, hear.) I beg to propose to you the toast that has been given' to me—" Success to Mechanics' Institutions." (Cheers.) The toast was responded to by the Rev. Mr. JACKSON, and Mr. MACKIE, who said he trusted that Lord Stanley, by this visit to Warrington, would be found to have bridged a moral gulf existing there between Lancashire and Cheshire, as one of his ancestors had 300 years ago been the first to bridge the river Mersey at that place. The fact was, that all the rising employers of labour showed a strong desire to escape from Lancashire and become Cheshire squires —(laughter)—and there was the greatest difficulty to get them to attend lectures or meetings like the present, whoever might be the lecturer or chairman. It was earnestly desired that they would not cease to give support to such an institution as this, and although as Lord Stanley urged upon them, it was imperative that the pro moters should make both ends meet for the future, they might ask for assistance at starting, as reason ably as a young couple who began housekeeping— (laughter)—especially when they could point to unmistakeable evidence of having striven to help themselves. (Hear, hear.) Several other toasts were afterwards given and responded to.

The number of the Correspondant which has just appeared contains the following letter from M. de Montalembert to M. Cavour : M. Le Comte,—l read in the report of the pro ceedings of the Turin Parliament of the 12th of October these words, spoken by you : " I believe that the solution of the Roman ques tion must be arrived at by the conviction, which will spread more and more in modern society, and even in the great Catholic society, that liberty is highly favourable to the development of the true re ligious sentiment. My feeling is that this will soon triumph. We have already seen it admitted by the most impassioned defenders of Catholic ideas. We have seen an illustrious writer, in a lucid moment, demonstrate it to Europe, in a book which has made great noise, that liberty had been very useful in exalting the religious spirit." I am assured that you intended this allusion for me. If your words implied merely praise, I should not permit myself to take them for me ; but they contain also an insult, and my modesty cannot put up with them. You call upon me before the public ; you, there fore, give me the right to reply to you in the same manner. Yet Ido so with a repugnance which I can hardly surmount. French blood has been spilt by-your orders. Catholic honour has been insulted by yoar lieutenants. The ancient seat, the last shelter of the common father of the faithful, is menaced by your words. Not one of your acts but wounds and revolts me, and now you strike a fresh blow on all I love by masking your perverse designs under the veil of a false accord between religion and liberty, and in support of your assertion you invoke my testimony. I owe it to myself to protest that on no point am I with you. Thank God your policy is not mine. You are for great centralised States ; I am for small independent States. You despise local tradi tions in Italy; I love them everywhere. You are for Italian unity ; I am fox' federative Italy. You violate treaties and international law; I re spect them because they are between States what contracts and probity are between men. You sacrifice your object, engagements, promises, oaths; I answer you with the noble maxim, "Means which the moral sense reproves, even though they should be materially useful, kill morally. No victory deserves to be put in the balance with the contempt of oneself." You destroy the temporal power of the Sovereign Pontiff; I defend him with all the energy of my reason and my affection. You denounce the policy which produced the French expedition to Rome in 1849, and I consider it a glory to have supported it. In spite of the cruel and inexcusable contradictions it has since met with, I am still thankful for it, for it is the last and vacillating consequence of that expedition which even at this day forces France and Piedmont to meet face to face before the Capitol. You give to the heroes of Garibaldi the praises which I reserve for the mercenaries of the immortal Pimodan. You are with Cialdini • lam with Lam or i c i ere. You are with Father davazzi ; I am with the Bishops of Orleans, Poitiers, Tours, Nantes—with all those Catholic voices which in the two worlds have protested, and will still protest, against you. Above all I am with Pius IX., who was the first friend of the independence of Italy till the day when that cause passed to the hands of ingratitude, violence, and imposture. On our side, I dare to say it, is conscience. On your side, I believe, it is success. Piedmont dares everything, France permits everything, Italy ac cepts everything, and Europe undergoes everything. Your success, I repeat it, appears to. me certain. Two obstacles, however, rise still before you— Rome and Venice ; at Rome is France, at' Venice Germany. They are strangers, to be sure, but they are strong. At Naples the Italians have not ar rested you. At Castelfidardo you were ten against one. You had, without doubt, to overcome rights, treaties, engagements, honour, justice, weakness; but these are abstract things, which cannot resist grape shot. At Rome there are some French bat talions, and at Venice rifled cannon. You disre garded right and passed on, but you hesitate before force. This force, I admit, does not cover causes that are equal. At Venice you support a cause which is just. Venice was odiously betrayed by us in 1797 ; sadly delivered up by you in 1849, unjustly abandoned by you, and by us, in 1859. Her deliverance is just. At Rome you support a cause which is unjust in every point of view, and even, as you well know, in an Italian point of view. We Frenchmen, we Catholics of the entire world, we make a great sacrifice to the independence of the Pontifical Power by accepting that, placed in Italy, it be habitually served by Italian hands. But you, Italians--and you have been told so a hundred times—what would your country be without the Papacy ? What sort of figure would your petty Piedmontese Majesties cut in the centre of Catho licity turned into your Ministerial offices ? Do you imagine that mankind would continue their pilgrimage to the foot of your Sovereigns' thrones ? You have the incomparable glory of possessing the capital of 200,000,000 of souls, and all your ambition is to reduce it to be the ehef lieu of the last comer of the kingdoms of the earth. You pretend to conquer Venice by persuading Austria and Europe. We shall see. I sincerely wish you success. It is thus by persuasion, by the example of her prosperity under the shadow of free institutions, that Piedmont since 1847 should have and might have secured the triumph and the honour of her policy. And it is this which, of all the criminals among whom has to be divided the responsibility of the evil which is worked in Italy, makes you the greatest. For you had all that was necessary to carry out your work well, with the sympathy of honest men in all parts of the world. Neither patriotism, nor eloquence, nor audacity, nor perseverance, nor skill was wanting to you. One thing only you had not, and that was (con science, and respect for other men's consciences. You now pretend to resolve the Roman question by proving to the world the benefits of the alliance between liberty and religion. What do you mean ? I have served this alliance for 30 years. I believe its triumph to be indispensable to the salvation of society, and it is for this I combat you, for no policy has ever rendered this triumph more difficult than yours. Your words, which I accept, are absolutely belied by your acts, which I reprove. I remain more than ever faithful to the convic tion that you have remarked in my writings. All the civil and political liberties which constitute the natural regime of civilised society, far from being injurious to the Church, aid its progress and its glory. It finds rivalry, but at the same time rights, struggles but arms,and those which suit it more than any other, language, association, charity. Liberty, however, is not suited to the Church, except on one condition—that is, that she herself enjoys liberty. I speak here in my name, without mis sion, without authority founded solely on a long experience singularly enlightened by the state of France for the last ten years. But I say without hesitation—a free Church in a free State is my ideal. I add that in modern society the Church cannot be free except where everybody is free. That, in my eyes, is a great blessing and a great .progress. In any case it is a fact. Let not any body reproach the Church with not accepting all the liberties granted by the State. In all countries she accepts them, and, what is more, she makes use of them—in England as in the United States, in Prussia as in Holland, everywhere, in a word, where she is not gagged nor impeded by fetters Specially invented for her, The accord would be complete if in their turn Governments would accept all the liberties of which the Church has need, instead of cheapening them by obsolete laws as in France, c onfiscating them them by odious annoyances as in Russia, ory as in trampling them under foot by brutal iniquity Italy. Now the in dependence of the Church reposes,above all, on the absolute liberty of its chief doctor and guardian of the faith, and that liberty has had for its shield during ten centuries a temporal sove reignty constituted independently of all States. It reposes, moreover, in the interior of each State on th the liberty of association, rights which no sensibl e man can pretend to r liberty of instructio n , the liberty of charity; ve for the Church al one, but which are not rights reserve they are met with pre ventive obstacles instead of being simply subjected to repression in cases defined by the laws, and de cided by independent tribunals with publicity and the power of appeal. Th ese are the guarantees for the liberty of the Church. Now, you violate them all at the same ti me —first, by suppressing the temporal power of the Pope; second, by dispersing communities; third, The following extract is from a letter addressed from Naples, by Mr. Mason Jones, the well-known orator, to Mr. Walter H. C. Taylor of Liverpool. It is dated the 19th inst. " This morning I was at th e cam p, an d saw th e English Legion receive its first baptism of fire. I went by rail to C aser t a , w h ere I h eard t h e cannon firing near Capua. On arriving at Santa Maria I found all the troops under arms, and the heavy guns unlimbered in front, ready for action. Every where on the road to St. Angelo I saw traces of the great battle of the Ist instant—trees cut down and pierced with shot, and the ground torn up by the tramp of cavalry and artillery. In company with some officers of the Agamemnon (91 guns), I climbed the lofty bill of Irfata, above St. Angelo, where we found Garibaldi himself and five or six members of his staff. Irfata is the Di3tates favourite position for observing the enemy. Fran the crest of the hill you can look right into Capra, 'and see Gaeta in the distance ; before you is spread out the whole line of operations down to Caserta and Maddaloni, with the Volturno winding through the plain. Standing here Garibaldi can see every movement of the enemy. While we were climbing the hill the firing was incessant, and a shell aimed at Garibaldi burst about GO yards from our feet. We were in hopes of seeing some fight ing, nor were we disappointed. About ten o'clock the Neapolitans in force attacked the position at St. Angelo. They marched before the camps before Capua towards the Garabaldian lines. The English Legion, which reached Naples last Monday, only arrived at the camp at nine o'clock, an hour before the fight began. They marched from Santo Maria to St. Angelo, and at once took up their position on the extreme front to the left, and next to Capua. They were imme diately attacked. The legion, commanded by Colonel Peard (Garibaldi's Englishman), received their enemies with a shout, and drove them back in confusion under the very walls of Capua. The great difficulty of the officers was to restrain the impetuosity of their men and to keep them back. Foiled in the'r attempt to break Garibaldi's line, the Neapolitans now commenced shelling their victors, when Colonel Peard withdrew his men under cover. All these operations were anxiously watched by Garibaldi, and soon after Colonel Dow ling arrived and gave the General an account of the fight. He said the men had behaved splendidly. I regret to say that Lieutenant Tucker, the cor respondent of the Illustrated Tiwes or News, was killed. He only received his commission this morning, and in a few hours afterwards he was a corpse. The Neapolitans left between 50 or 60 killed and wounded on the field, and did not ven ture out again to-day. They had evidently got more than enough of it. I see Mr. Edwin James has been alarming the public with accounts of anarchy, robbery, and I don't know what else besides in Naples. I can only say, from my expe rience, that the anarchy exists only in Mr. James's imagination. The most perfect order reigns in Naples ; life and property were never so secure ; you may go for miles around Naples without a pistol or weapon of any kind; and as for the roads being infested by brigands, I must say that the most brigandish looking thing I have seen since I came to this city is a portrait of Mr. Edwin James himself in the last number of the Illustrated London News. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The Rev. David Laing, M.A., Rector of St. Olave, London, and also residing at Mornington-road, St. Pancras, had made his will on the 29th of Decem ber, 1857, wherein he appointed his wife the sole executrix, who duly proved the same in the London Court of Probate on the 18th of the present month. The personal property was sworn under £B,OOO, besides which there are freehold estates. The will is short, and he has left the whole of his property of every description to his wife for her own sole use. He has enumerated in his will some of the testimonials which had been presented to him ; for instance, a gold snuff-box and silver inkstand by the St. Ann's Society, a bronze clock and bronze candelabra by the Governesses Benevolent Institu tion, and a testimonial from the district of Trinity, St. Pancras; consequently these public tokens of respect devolve to the widow. This excellent and well-known clergyman was 36 years in the church ; he was for some time chaplain of the Middlesex Hospit a l, i ncu mbent o f Trinity Church, Haverstock-hill, an d su bsequen t ly he became rector of the val ua bl e pre f er ment of S t .

C. Forsyth, R.N., and Colonel C. H. Mee, R.A. The will of this officer is strictly that of a family dispo sition. He appointed three executors—namely, W. Nichol s , of N orwood: W. Nicholson, of Duke street, Lincoln's-Inn-fi e ld s ; and W. P. Nichols, of Lombard -street. The personalty was sworn under £6,000. To his relict, who it appears possesses considerable property of her own, the testator has merely left the use of all his furniture, jewels, &e., not otherwise disposed of. To each of his daughters he gives the sum of £l,OOO. To his younger son, Frederick Ponsonby, he leaves several articles of family plate, jewellery, medals, naval drawings, maps, prints, 8.7 c.

" Another death by fire" is a common heading by which modern readers are familarised with the almost daily holocaust of women and children, sacrificed by the combustibility of their dress and the expansion of their crinoline. The Registrar- General, who accurately:exhibits these integers of suffering and death and displays their incredible sum-total, records above three thousand deaths from fire, of which some hundreds might have been averted by the adoption of the simple expedient, which cannot be too pressingly urged upon the female mind, of adopting in the laundry the use of one of those powders which render clothing non inflammable, As we write this, an inquest is being held at the London Hospital on the body of a child, burnt alive by her clothes catching light at the household fire; and we understand that many pa tients are at this moment living in the metropoli tan hospitals more or less seriously injured by ac cidents arising from a similar cause. This is a very serious evil, and one which cannot be regarded without a regret deepened by the reflection that such accidents are preventible. The means pro posed are simple and efficient. We have already more than once explained them. In the Queen's laundry they have been adopted since the terrify ing accident by which the dress and person of the Princess Royal were scorched by ignition of her sleeve at a candle. Here is no want, then, of pointed moral and high example, But it is difficult to awaken the mind to the necessity of providing against contingencies which are distant and uncer tain. Until the moment of the catastrophe, nothing seems more unlikely than ithat it should oc cur. Nevertheless, all ranks have furnished their quota to the number of victims. Princesses, coun tesses, court ladies, ballet-girls, the decrepid and the youtiv, rich and poor, swell the list, which is thus passed over with indifference, or with a thoughtless shudder that leaves no further trace. The solutions which are the best hitherto pro duced for the purpose are those of tungstate of soda and sulphate of ammonia. The former is prefer able for woven fabrics, since it allows the iron to pass smoothly, whereas other salts do not. The able chemists, Messrs. Versmann and Oppenheim, who introduced these salts, as the result of their investigations, have recently given some plain di rections in their employment, which in the interests of practical persons we transcribe:—" The solution which does not become clear must be made with warm water, and should be well stirred. A sheet of linen is then soaked in it and dried. The ar ticles of dress or curtains, after being well starched, blued, and rough-dried, are saturated in the solu tion, then rolled in the above piece of linen, and ironed as usu a l." Th e sa lt s are b e i ng so ld, since we have repeatedly drawn attention to them, under the title of the " Ladies' Life Preserver ;" but they are simply the substances which we name. The extraordinary losses of life and property very recently occasioned by fire in this city have naturally suggested the investigation of the appli cability of these salts to the purpose of rendering timber non-inflammable. This is very possible; but_ the use of sulphate of ammonia fo r this purPase.% the best process would cost about is. 2d. per cub ic foot of timber, and this is almost prohibitive for ) uses general use. There are, however, many other to suggested besides the finishing of woven fabrics Thus if which it may be advantageously pp per lue a solution, containing about twenty e salt, be employed in the making of non-inflammable. or paper -in le cent. of the paper hangings, these will becom e uling soaked in the for goods trains, and tarp a Even shavings will thus refuse to flame.

All were at this critical conjuncture in dreadful suspense, but firmly and handily making snug their boats, as they had no alternative, in their exposed situation, but to face the storm, which they knew from the catspaws now rising on the sea was fast approaching.
