NATION AL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION' OF SOCIAL SCIENCE. BR2,I.I)FORD, F .ID-S Last night a g'reat meeting cf the working cla!ses of Bradford was held in St. George's Hall, wnen the leading members of the Social Science Associa tion, including Lord s Brougham and Shaftesbury, Lord Badstock, the Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., Mr. MY., and Mr. Adderley, M.P., were pre- The chair was taken by the Mayor of Brad sent. ford. The immense hall was crowded Iti every part, and. a very considerable proportion of he audience wa s eu reposed of ladies. The MaTon, having briefly addressed the meet ing, introduced Mr. C. B. ADDERLEY, M.P., who referred to the mutual interest which all present had in the ob jects of the Social Science Association. They were all working men, whether it was with the head or hands, and their interests were the same. All classes were necessary to each other, though they differed in outward position. Loral RADSTOCE: said the members of the Society for Promoting Social Science were working for those who composed that meeting as well as for themselves; and he described the various depart ments, to show that in respect to the subjects dis cussed in them the working classes had great duties Ile had ascertained that there were to discharge. from 600,000 to 700,000 factory workers in this kin e'dom,whose wages amounted to about 20,000,000/ annually. Here was an enormous sum which these factory workers had under their control. The great caus4 of misery anal destitution was improvidence ; but if every one of these people would only lay by 4d. a week there would be provided a fund of half a million, a sum amply sufficient to provide for all in distress. (Hear.) Mr. J. NAPIER, who next addressed the meeting, said, he had been a working man all his life and never had complained of his lot. The Hon. W. Cow PER. shortly addressed the meeting, and adverted to the advantages which working men had derived from the promotion of social science: The Earl of SHAFTESBURY was received with im mense cheering. He reminded the working men of the very different position he and his friends on the platform now occupied compared with that which they must have held some years ago. Then they had to ask the working men "What can we do for you ?:' Now they had to ask them "What can you do for yourselves ?" (Hear, hear.) On themselves de pended their present and future welfare. He de lighted in this kind of intercourse, when men of all degrees and ranks in England met together. He liked also to see men from foreign countries come and hear with their own ears and see with their own eyes that England was not a country where the rich man trembled and the poor man frowned. (Cheers.) He advised the working-men to make a good use of the boon they had attained in shortened hours of labour.. He hoped he should never hear that his factory friends spent their spare time in the gin-palace—(cheers)—or subjected themselves. to the degrading vice of drunkenness. He trusted they would spend their evenings at the Mechanics' Institute, or the reading room, or, better still, at their own firesides with their happy wives and their children growing up as olive plants around their table. (Loud cheers.) He would ask whether the working man did not lose by the absence of his wife from domestic concerns more than he gained by her earnings. (hear, hear.) Then he would say, avoid strikes. He did not deny their right to com bine and strike, but the exercise of a right was oftentimes the greatest injustice. (Hear, hear.) If they had a grievance, let them go boldly arid state it to their employers, and, looking to the temper employers were now in, he believed that if justice was on their side they would be listened to. (Hear.) He never knew a strike answer, but he had known a great many bring irretrievable ruin on those en gaged in them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. CHAMBERS ; of Edinburgh, shortly ad dressed the meeting, and was followed by Mr. M. MILNES, M.P., who impressed upon the working classes the duty of perseverance in the discharge of their duties, and of co-operation with the other classes of the community. Lord BROUGHAM (who had only a few minutes before entered the hall, having just come from Shef field, whither he had gone to attend a meeting) was received with loud demonstrations of applause. He could not address the working-men of Brad ford without expressing, in common with those who had gone before him, the great admiration lie felt at the good conduct they had exhibited. But it was always more useful to point out defects than to indulge in panegyric —(hear)—and he would take the liberty to advert to one defect which, in common with all working-men, the ope ratives of Bradford were chargeable with. The de feat was, that they did not sufficiently estimate the absolute necessity of provident and prudent con duct. The particular kind of improvidence he was going to specify might be called comparatively trifling, and it was very easily remedied. It was that they did not sufficiently reflect that they were not entitled to any relaxation or amusement what ever till after their day's work was done—that they were not entitled to take even the relaxation of reading and instructing themselves till after they had finished their day's work, and finished it well -=-(cheers)--for thßir very highest duty and inte rest was to follow their regular callings, and so se cure their independence. (Cheers.) Now, he was speaking as a working man himself—(cheers)—and that was the rule he had always followed. (Hear.) He never counted any one hour or minute his own, or considered himself entitled to relaxation even in the way of instruction, out of the line of the profes sion to which he belonged, till his day's work was completed—honestly and accurately done. (Cheers.) He had been a working man all his life, and what was more ; he had all his life lived on wages — (cheers and laughter)—for it so happened that he never spent one halfpenny of any little property he enjoyed, or of any sum that might have come to him. He had always lived by the sweat of his brow. (Cheers.) Another subject to which he would refer was the kind of relaxation in which the work ing classes should indulge. (Hear.) He entirely agreed with what had been said on the subject of reading. It was a great misfortune that at one time there had been so large an issue of inferior works of fancy and imagination. He did not at all object to works of fancy. The moral was, that " All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy ;" so, if reading was all hard re :ding, unrelieved by anything that was light and fanciful, the mental stomach would not digest well. (Laughter.) He therefore did not object to works of fiction, but to those that were not of the purest kind—to novels of a light kind, full of' extravagant descriptions, of impossible scenes and sickly sentiment, and all kinds of things that never could have occurred among. men and women in this world. (Hear, hear.) But there had been a great improvement of late years ; fey: of these trashy novels were now circulating, and there were many excellent works of fancy that inielit be productive of much good. (Hear, hear.) Now, when he had been a working man all his life, and was so how, it might be said that he should at iris time of life— and that was a great deal over 30 years of age— (great laughter)—take a little rest, and that he had earned a title to a little repose. (Cheers.) But it had been said by the great Christian poet Cowper— " A rain unoccupied is not at rest ; A mind (Iliac:vacant is a mind distrest." (Cheers.) And he had resolved that so long as Pro vidence allowed him to retain his faculties he would not fall under the description of a " man unoccu pied.," or of a mind "quite vacant." (Cheers.) He would continue, as far as he was nb!e, to lire a " life of labour," to which he had so long. been ac customed. (Cheers.) They had heard of contem plated political changes; but on that point he would not enter further than to say that such changes might possibly be improvements, but that they ought to be adopted only after much forethought and circumspection, and that they ought to be mo derate in their substance. (Hear, hear.) And this he would most emphatically say, that it was the bounden duty of all of every class, and of no class more than the working class, to be content in the meantime with things as they were, and not to raise up a hand or a little finger to alter the law by force. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to Lord Brougham and the other distinguished strangers on the platform was moved by Mr. WILKINSON, a working man, and carried unanimously, and the meeting, which was composed of about 3,500 persons, separated.

Mr. Stones W. P. Foord was yesterday appointed Paymaster additional to the Royal Adelaide. THE ARMY. The Commander-in-Chief, we aye informed, has ordered that the kit which is to be issued to the new Commissariat Corps is to be similar to that now in use by the Royal Engineer Corps. On Thursday last his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief, accompanied by Major-General Forster, KM., Deputy Adjutant-General, and , C Clifton, Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness, C in spected the 26th Regiment (Camercatians) on the Pavilion grounds' at Weedon , and expressedhim self highly pleased with the a pp earance of that corps. His Royal Highness w as subse g nently con ducted by Capt. Smith , the military inspector of saddlery, through the commodious storehouses of the late army clothing depot at that station, which at present contain small arms, and after a careful inspection of the several stores, particularly of those in the Saddlery Department, with which he ap peared highly satisfied, his Royal Highness left for town. The half-yearly inspection of the corps of Royal and Indian Engineers was made at Chatham yes terday by Major-Gen. H. Eyre, commandant of the garrison. The officers and men belonging to the two corps assembled on the parade ground, Brompton Barracks, at 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing, the non-commissioned officers and men being in marching order. Owing to the large number of recruits now at head-quarters, the detachments are very strong, but several of the companies are below their requirad strength. On the arrival of Major- Gen. Eyre, who was accompanied by Col. H. Sand ham, Director of the Royal Engineer Establish ment ; Licut.-Col. Stanton, C. 8., Assist.-Adjt.- Gen. ; Brigade Major Gordon, and other members of the Staff, the whole force, which was under the command of Lieut.-Col. A. P. G. Ross, received the General with the usual salute. The troops having been formed in quarter-distance columns, Major- Gen. Eyre proceeded to make an inspection of each company, passing up and down the front and rear of each. The men's kits and accoutrements were then inspected, after which Major-Gen. Eyre asked if any man had any complaints to make, but there was no response to this appeal. The corps were then put through a few movements, all of which were well executed, after which Major-Gen. Eyre briefly addressed the officers and men, expressing his satis faction at the result of his inspection and the ap pearance of the men. The troops were then dis missed, after which Major-Gen. Eyre visitedseveral portions of the Royal Engineer establishment,., in cluding the school-rooms, officers halls of study, &e., and then proceeded to the Adjutant's office and inspected the books and accounts of the corps. On the previous day Major-General Eyre paid an un expected visit to Brompton Barracks, when he went through the barrack-rooms and visited several parts of the barracks, for the purpose of ascertaining in what condition they were, when all were found to be in very creditable order. The inspection occu pied the General until late yesterday afternoon. Yesterday it was announced at Brompton Bar racks that the detachment of Royal Engineers, selected to proceed to China for the purpose of strengthening that force, are to be held in readi ness to embark for their destination on the 20th inst, The detachments take out with them every requisite in stores, including a liberal supply of light clothing fit for the climate. The two companies of the 33d Royal Wiltshire Regiment of Militia, in command of Captain K. Skeete, which arrived at Woolwich on the sth of September for temporary garrison duty, were on Thursday relieved by two companies of her Ma jesty's 9th Regiment of the Line, the East Norfolk, in command of Major Charlesll. Leslie. The com panies consist, in addition to Major Leslie, of 4 subalterns, 1 assistant-surgeon, and 233 non-com missioned officers and men, the whole of whom, with the exception of the married men, are quartered in a portion of the Royal Marine Barracks vacated by the Militia. The latter have proceeded on duty to Dover, and on their departure from the garrison they were played down to the railway station by the regimental band of the Royal Marines. Their conduct during their month's stay in Wool wich has been notified as orderly, peace able, and deserving of comment. On their passage to the railway station they were saluted with the good wishes of the inhabitants, and in the thoroughfare near the station they were heartily cheered as they turned to leave the town. The battalion of Royal Marines, in command of Col. Stransliam, were yesterday mustered in the whole available force of 600 men, and were put through a course of battalion movements on Wool wich-common. The young corps, composed totally of volunteers and recruits, displayed a fine soldierly appearance under arms, and went through ten rounds of musket firing with blank cartridge, as well as other exercises, such as forming, marching past, &c., with remarkable precision and aptitude. Fifty volunteers from the detachments serving on board the Channel squadron have left Plymouth Sound in the Avon, to join the Royal Marine Artil lery companies at Portsmouth, and their vacancies have been stipplied with 50 privates (young soldiers) from Woolwich. Lieut. and Adjt. W. S. Morris, of the Plymouth division of Royal. Marines, has received the gold medal which was awarded to him by the Chamber of Commerce, New York, for services performed on board her Majesty's ship Agamemnon during the laying down of the Atlantic Telegraph cable. ALARNLyG FIRE IY COLCRESTER CAMP. COLCHESTER, Oct. 14.—Last evening, shortly after nine o'clock, the entire camp was thrown into the utmost consternation by the alarm of fire, and very quickly the sounding of bugles and the roll of drums conveyed the information to the inhabitants of the town, who flocked in hundreds to the camp, hut of course were not admitted within the gates. The fire, it appears, was then raging in the kitchen of the sergeants' mess of the 9th Battalion, situated in the E range of huts, and composed entirely of weather boarding. Besides the cook of the mess, there were living, in separate compartments, be. neath the same roof, two married soldiers, each with a large family-, and a staff sergeant. The smoke was first seen pouring from the kitchen windows, and some soldier having imprudently smashed the glass, the flames burst forth with uncontrollable fury, and in a few moments enwrapped the entire building, which had been but recently painted. The poor men had only time to snatch their sleep inr, children from bed and escape to safer quarters, the progress of the flames being so rapid as to pre vent them from saving any of their furniture or clothes, and they consequently have lest their little all. The moment the alarm was sounded, the men, who were just returning into camp for the night, fell into rank, and - under the command of their several officers, proceeded to the spot with the en gines and fire-screens with which the camp is pro vided, while others formed line and conveyed buckets of water from the remoter wells. The supply of water was good, but it was soon found im possible to save the building in which the fire origi nated,and efforts were put forth to prevent the spread of the conflagration, which at one time threatened the entire destruction of that part of the camp. Several of the surrounding buildings, from the in-. flammable nature of the. felt with which the roofs are covered, and the newly painted timber of which they are composed, were in great danger, and once or twice ignited ; but by th e app li cat i on o f wet blankets and the stream of water poured from the engine:, the flames were subdued, and by half-past 10 o'clock all danger was at an end. -Fortunately there was a dead calm, for had the wind blown at all fresh from either east or west, the destruction of a great part of the camp would hav e been inevi table. The officers and men all conducted them selves in the most praiseworthy manner, Colonel Street, Commandant of the 10th Depot Battalion, being particularly conspicuous in encouraging the men to work the. engines and f e t c h water. The origin of the fire is at present unknown, but it will undergo strict investigation. The system of warm_ inn flick huts by flues through the roof having been defective, brick chimneys were substituted, so that the fire cannot be traced to that cause, and the ~Ax: SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY E V ENI NG, OCTOBER 15, 1859, prepared to prove that fire and candle had be the Don Francisco de Axis, of 74 guns, which been',!xtinguished in the mess kitchen, whence the was lately at Carthagena. flair .es were first seen to proceed, at least an hour The Right Rev.

Bishop of Gibraltar, with his two children and ser vants, arrived at Gibraltar, on the 7th inst., from Marseilles, in the Dutch ship William 111. Mrs. 'Drummond Ilay, the lady of her Britannic Ma jesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Morocco, likewise ar rived in the same steamer from England via France. The 25th Regiment (King's Own Borderers), under the command of Col. S. B. Hamilton, removed from Camp.to Town Range and Wellington Front Barracks on the afternoon of the Bth. The 2d bat talion of the 6th Foot, commanded by Col. Robert W. M. Fraser, replaces the 25th in camp. Kok i WHAT ARE THE RUSSIANS ABOUT AT PORTSMOUTH. PORTSMOUTIC, Friday. We remember, prior to the breaking out of the war with Russia in 1853, having had such confidence in the friendship of Russia, that her ships were permitted to be sub stantially repaired in the Portsmouth Dockyard, and officers and crew roamed about at leisure. One of those ships—a 46-gun frigate, the Aurora—left suddenly, and the next account from her was that she knocked over 170 of our men at Petropolowski, at the time when the unfortunate Admiral Price destroyed himself on board the President, 50, flag ship. Well, we have had at Portsmouth within the last three months 12 most powerful Russian screw line-of-battle ships, frigates, and corvettes. The usual courtesy has been shown to the officers, &c., but surely it was never contemplated that Russian scientific officers should be permitted to to get upon our earthwork batteries and ravelines and with instruments and photographic apparatus take minute sketches of our fortifications. Yet such was positively the case yesterday morning on the King's Bastion, at Portsmouth. A couple of Russians were discovered by a bombardier of the Royal Artillery, with instruments spread out; sketching and measuring the extent of our defences seaward. The bombardier, to his credit, took upon himself to peremptorily order the intruders off, or he would give them in charge of the sentry, whereupon they took up their instruments and departed. The bombardier then reported the circumstance to the commanding officer of artillery, Col. Lake. — Horning 'lowa BANK OF FRANCE. The Monitur of yesterday morning publishes the usual monthly debtor and creditor account of the Bank of France, made up to Thursday. The cor responding.figures of the last month are added : DEBTOR. Sept. all, that of the country villages. The original ar rangement provided an endowment of land for each village policeman, but the land was soon appro priateV-hy the Zoniindar, and a very imperfect equivalent-offered In As stead. As a matter of fact, there is nobody to -prevent crime, and nobody to detect it; the police, being ill-paid and worse orga nised, are often thieves themselves, and the chief protector of property is the village dog. All this time, however, while a large police was performing its functions so ill, a large native army was per forming no function at all, whereas a good native force might have been so employed as to protect life and property, and find a diversion from its own delusion in this desirable service. That theft should be rife in India is certainly not surprising. A robber runs little risk of being captured at all, and when at last his time arrives he is lodged in a prison arranged in the most luxurious home model, and is far better kept than he ever was before. _ From these observations our radical errors in the civil administration of India will be very ap parent. We have not been indifferent or oppres sive rulers. The very complication of our machi nery arose from attempts at perfection, but we went exactly the wrong way to work. We pro vided so many checks upon injustice that at last we made justice inaccessible, and in the endeavour to deal fairly between one man and another we en abled the cunning to overreach the ignorant and improvident. If our police system was bad it was not from stint of men or money, but from a vicious organisation. Our. European functionaries had no sinecures; in fact, they were"overworked, but their labour was lost upon a needless multiplication of forms. The direction in which the improvement of such a system should be commenced is sufficiently obvious, and we rejoice to hear, on anthority so good as Mr. Court's, that it is likely to be attended, not with additional expense, but with a consider able economy of our now precious funds.—Times. MOROCCO. Accounts from Tangier to the 6th inst., via Gib raltar, Is ere received by the mail packet Indus, which arrived at Southampton yesterday. Mr. Blanco del Valle, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, had had several interviews with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sidi Mahomed El- Katib. The only news that had been allowed to transpire was to the effect that these personages had not been able to come to any arrangement of the pending difficulties between Spain and Morocco. There were two Spanish war steamers at anchor at Tangier. It was reported at Gibraltar by parties profess ing to have received reliable information from Tan gier that the Moorish Minister for Foreign Affairs had ultimately refused to accede to the further de mands made by Mr. Blanco on the part of the Spanish Government. These demands were said to comprise a pecuniary indemnity for the expenses incurred by Spain. The population of Tangier was in a very unsettled state, owing to the rumours that hostilities would no doubt - shortly commence, as the rupture was considered complete. Letters from Tetuan state that the official re script, announcing the Sultan's entry into Mequinez, had reached that city, where the same was publicly read at the mosque on the 3d inst. After the cere mony had terminated, a salute of 61 guns, in com pliment to his Sheriffian Majesty, was fired by the batteries of the castle. The whole population of Tetuan vied with each other in testifying their joy on this happy occasion. In Imperial edict has been promulgated in the Auycra district, to the effect that any Moorish sub ject daring to fire upon the garrison of Ceuta with out the Sutan's orders will be punished with the utmost severity. On the 2d inst. the Sultan's letter arrived at Tangier, announcing that his Majesty had subdued the rebel tribes of Beni Hasson. Upon the receipt of this intelligence a salute of 61 guns was fired from the Moorish batteries, and the Spanish ships of war saluted the Moorish flag with 21 g uns. The Moors in Tangier and the neighbourhood are de. scribed as having behaved admirably throughout the late events, the only exception being on the part of a few wild fanatics from the mountains, whom the late troubles had brought from their usual haunts. The following is extracted from the letter of the Gibraltar Chronicle's Tangier correspondent : " Tangier, Oct. 2. "The Spanish Government, at the request of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has further prorogued the time for the ultimatum 15 days longer, which will be due on the 20th, but before this time it is expected matters will be brought to a close, parti cularly now that the talented. and experienced British Chargé d'Affaires is the mediator between both nations. " A deputation composed of 40 persons had left Tetuan to present to the Sultan an address on the part of the inhabifa'nrs cr that place. It is reported from Tetuan that Sidi Mohammed-el-Katib has re ceived a letter from the Sultan, couched in the most familiar terms, confirming him in his office and begging his counsels and aid on every matter. His Sheriffian Majesty says that he wishes to pursue the same policy towards the European nations and Christians in general as his father. He also disap proves the condact of the Moors of Angora regard ing Ceuta, and despatches have been forwarded to that tribe warning them against any further acts of hostility, which leads to the belief that the Sultan is well disposed for an arrangement. " It is also said that the Faqui Essefar has like wise been confirmed ; consequently no great changes will take pl .ces in the Government as was ex pected. The Sultan, in answer to an address pre sented to him by the functionaries of Rabat, said that those who had served his father were endeared to him. "Evening. " The Governor received to-day the official news of the triumphal entry of his Sheriffian Majesty at Mequinez ' • consequently there was great rejoicing. The letter from the Emperor was publicly read at the mosque, and the batteries fired 61 guns. The Sultan, in his letter to the people of Tangier, says that he will protect them to the last, will defend their religion, &c. " What struck us most was that the Spaniih war steamers in the bay hoisted the Moorish flag and fired a salute of 21 guns in compliment of the occa sion ; and in consequence some people say that the question is already settled, but nothing positive is known." The steamer Egyptien, which conveyed the above news to Gibraltar, also brought good tidings from the coast. Things were settled down to their former state. Trade was beginning to revive with every confidence of continuing; Grain and other produce were being brought into the markets by the Moors from the interior. At Mazagan all fears of further invasion had disappeared, and the natives had again come into the town with garvan -535 and Indian corn. The ships in port, detained in consequence of the late troubles, were commenc ing to take in their cargoes. Two vessels were loading grain. In a letter from Tangier, dated the 4th inst., the correspondent of the Chronicle says : " As far as I hare been able to ascertain, there is not as yet any agreement between the contending nations; everybody longs for it, even Mr. Blanco, but it seems that his instructions from head-quar ters are very much against it. " Sidi Mohamed-el-Katib arrived yesterday afternoon. Great numbers went out to meet him, including the Governor and his staff. During the evening he received all the principal inhabitants of Tangier. his discourse was about the virtues and talents of the new Sultan, and he said that his Sheriffian Majesty is aided in all his enterprises by the Divine Spirit, as his accession to the throne passed off so quietly that nobody could have ex pected it. His presence will prevent much pro crastination in political affairs. Mr. Blanco has not yet seen him ; but immediately on his arrival he sent his interpreter to welcome Katib on his part, and that he should be pleased to appoint an hour to treat on the pending question; very likely the conference will take place in the course of the day. The salute by the Spanish war steamers of the Moorish flag with 21 guns was not at all connected with any arrangement of the pending differences, but in acknowledgment of the new Emperor, as his Sheriffian Majesty had been pleased to approve of Senor Juan Blanco del Valle as charge d'affaires in Morocco for her Majesty the Queen of Spain. `• The Emperor has likewise approved of the Bri tish and French charge d'affaires, the consuls and vice•consuls of the different nations residing in Morocco. " Sidi llaman F,ssaidi, Governor of Tangier, Las also been confirmed in his post by the Emperor." The Gibraltar Chronicle of the Bth says : The French squadron, under the command of Vice-Admiral Romain Desfoss6s, composed of the three-decker Bretagne (fag-ship), four two-deckers, and two frigates, arrived from Toul on a t s i x o ' c l oc k this morning, and anchored in line off the second river, near Algesiras. One of the two-deckers bears a rear-admiral's flag. The Vice-Admiral shortly after arrival saluted the Spanish flag, which compliment was duly returned by the fort of San tiago. In consequence of the prevalence of sick ness in the city of Algesiras, the whole of the French men-of-war have hoisted the yellow flag to prevent communication from the shore." A Spanish sailing line-of-battle ship was sig nalled from the'upper station two leagues to the [ eastward at 12 o'clock noon. She was supposed to THE DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT WORCESTER. All doubts as to the fate of Mrs. Harris, who, as stated in The Sun of last Saturday, was supposed to have been drowned in the Severn with her two children, have been removed by the discovery of the body of the woman about a mile below Wor cester. As a policeman was plying his vocation on the river on Thursday he picked up the body float ing on the water. There can be no doubt that the supposition as to the fate of Mrs. Harris hazarded in The Sun of last Saturday was a correct one, and that, irritated to frenzy by the continued bickerings with her husband and the threats of his sister, she rushed from the house and plunged her self and her two children into the river, which runs only about 50 yards from Harris's house. The body cf the infant had not been discovered yesterday. It being known that Harris, the husband, would be taken before the magistrates at Worcester yesterday, a large body . of people of the labouring classes, principally women, besieged the door of the Guildhall for hours before he was brought up, and it was only by considerable exertions that the police could keep the mob from executing Lynch law upon the prisoner. He was charged with assaulting his wife on the night when she left her husband's house, but the whole details of the quarrels between him and the deceased woman for several days previous to the murder and suicide were gone into. A num ber of witnesses were examined, who proved that the prisoner had repeatedly quarrelled with his wife, and struck her ; that she was a woman of con siderable spirit, and resisted this treatment actively, and that consequently the two had been more than once seen flghting,,,together. On the day of the suicide they quarrelled at dinner time, when Harris seized his wife by the throat and nearly throttled her, and when he releawd her she struck him with the poker on the arm, inflicting a rather severe hurt. At tea time the quarrel was renewed, and Mrs. Harris, speaking of her sister-in-law, accused her of unsober habits, on which Harris told his mother, and soon after the sister carve down to Harris's house and threatened to kill his wife. A lodger held the sister-in-law while Mrs. llarris fled from the house with her children to escape her vio lence, and it is supposed went directly to the river. Mr. Kerr, of the Royal Porcelain Works, where Harris is employed, gave him a good character. He has been in that establishment ever since his ap prenticeship. The magistrates decided on remand ing the prisoner until the inquest on Mrs. Harris had been held. 1718 INFAN2' MURDER AT HACKNEY, COMMITTAL OF THE ACCUSED. Sarah Jane Wiggins, charged with the murder of James White, a child between three and four years of age, the son of a man with whom she co habited at Clarence-cottages, Hackney, was placed before Mr. D'Eyncourt, at the Worship-streetPolice court, yesterday, for the production of further evi dence against her. recollected that at the former examina tion the magistrate directed that the youngest girl (sister of the deceased) should be fully instructed in the sacred nature of an oath ; consequently, In spector Williamson,• of the N division, had both children placed under the care of Mrs. Driscoll, matron of the Hackney Union, and a communica tion from the Rev. Mr. Gordon, St. John's, Hack ney, was now handed to the bench, certifying that their testimony might be safely received. A miniature doll and exact counterpart of the bedstead to which the child had been bound, was produced by Inspector Williamson, as also the actual rail, with fluff of rape attached to it, a fact to be accounted for by the rope itself being in part un ravelled. _ _ _ The evidence of the younger child, Sarah White, was then taken as follows : Mr. D'Eyneourt—How old are .you ? Witness—Not seven, sir. lam sister of the lit tle boy who died. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Do you recollect the niglit be fore he died ? _ IVitnevs—Yes, sir ; I went to bed about 7 o'clock. Sister Fanny put me to bed. Mother was out. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you see your little brother tied. ? Witness—Yes, sir; mother tied him u p. Mr. D'Eyncourt—lave these children been in the habit of calling the prisoner " mother ?" Father of the children—Yes, sir. Mr. D'Eyncourt (to the witness)—lf you were in bed, did you not go to sleep? Witness—Yes, sir; but I woke up. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you see how he was tied up ? Witness—Yes, sir; the rope went round his body. (The child here placed the doll with its back to the under part of the rail crossing the top of the bedstead at the foot end, but with the face turned towards the hoad of the bedstead, thus enabling any one lying on the bed to see the features.) Mr. D'Eyncourt—How were his hands tied? Witness—Behind him, sir ; I am certain of it. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did he cry ? Witness—He kept on " sifling," a sort of hard breathing. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Was his head or chin tied in any way ? IVitnesi—No, sir. Mr. D'Eyncourt—How was his head ? Witness—Hanging down, sir. Mr. D'Eyneourt—How long was he kept there ? Witness—l went to sleep, but when I awoke in the morning he was still there. Mr. D'Eyncourt—When was he taken down ? was Witness—Mother took him down while I getting up. • Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did ho speak? Witness—l did not hear him, sir. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did this woman sleep in the same bed ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did y o u, during that night , see anything else done by her to your brother ? Witness—l saw her get out of bed and " chop" him under the chin, but she did not say anything. Mr. TrEyneourt—What things had your brother on him ? Witness--A shirt; no socks or shoes ; not an y nightcap. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you see any blood ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you ever see him tied round the head? Witness—No, sir. I saw him tied all night to the bed-post, this (left hand). Mr. D'Eyncourt-LlVhat was that for ? Witness—Because he " dropped" in his trousers. Mr. D'Eyneourt—And what was he fastened for the night before ho died ? Witness—Bccause be cried for water, sir. Mr. D'Eyneourt—And when did you see your brother dead ? Witness—When I came home from school, sir. Fanny White, the little girl previously examined, was then questioned by the magistrate, and per sisted in asserting, as her sister had, that the cords were tied with the arms behind; that she had never noticed a cord round the child's head or chin, and that no impediment existed to his calling out or making any noise. Mr. D'Eyncourt — lf this i s so, the marks (the curve described passing beneath the chin t o th e ears) must be accounted foe in some other way. Do you suppose it impossible those marks could have been made by the bandage placed round the face to protect the abscess ? Dr. Macon—That was a broad piece of wrapping. I should say certainly not. sped to the state meat of the children that the rope was secured with the arms behind the body ? Dr_ Hacon—The opinion I at first formed that they were fastened in front, I have no reason to alter; and I believe all those marks to have been made certainly within twelve hours of the death. That is my opinion. Mr. D'Eyucourt—The gentleman who co-ope rated with you at the post-mortem examination (Mr. Wright, of Clapton-square) will be subpoenaed to attend the trial. (To the father of the children) —Was the boy a heavy child ? Father—He was not a lusty child. I should say rather light in weight for his age. Mr. D'Eyncourt—ls this the whole of the eTi deuce ? Inspector Willisamon—lt is, sir. Mr. Hurlston (thief clerk)—Do not the parish prosecute ? Inspector—No, sir, they Object to do so. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Now, prisoner, have you any thir.s to say ? You have heard the evidence, do you wish to say anything to the charge of wilfully murdering this child ? Prisoner (feebly)—No, sir. The depositions having been fully completed by Mr. Hurlston, the witnesses were bound over to attend and give evidence at the Old Bailey Sessions next ensuing. The conduct of the prisoner during eachexamina tion has been of precisely a similar character, that of an attentive observer 'of the whole evidence, while calmly leaning on the dock, but without, save on one occasion, evincing the slightest feeling, and, on being locked up, partaking freely of refresh ment. Mr. D'Eyncourt refused an application on the part of a relative tf the children to be allowed the care of them until the trial, the worthy magistrate observing that they would remain in the workhouse, well attended to.

In a pamphelt just published by Mr. M. H. Court, of the Bengal Civil Service, we find the defects of our Indian Administration in the chief Presidency so clearly displayed that we invite general atten tion to an exposition which not only , elucidates the past, but conveys good advice for the future. ". As Sir John Lawrence, after examining the records of the rebellion, has express , -d his conviction that it was really due to a religious panic, and to no other cause, we must consider that question substan tially at rest; but it is plain, nevertheless, that cer tain actual grievances produced their effect on the native mind, and that among these the constitution and operation of the civil courts held a prominent place. The King of Delhi's proclamation, as Mr. Court observes, could allege no real instance of re ligious tyranny, but it could and did point to our administration of justice as a legitimate provoca tion to revolt. After the survey comprised in the pages before us, we era certainly not surprised . at his Majesty's argument, for, with the best inten tions, and with a purity of dealing far greater than India has known under any other rule, we seem to have selected for use the system of all others least applicable to the habits of the people. The Hindoo, like all Asiaticg, prefers the per sonal authority of a ruler to the abstract authority of law. He is not insensible to the difference be tween justice and injustice ; but justice, to satisfy , his views, should be rendered promptly and sum marily, at the discretion of a powerful or even arbitrary court. Each case should be tried after the primitive models—on its own merits, rather than the ordinances of a civil code. We di: covered the exact analogy of this sentiment in our military ad. ministration, where it was found that natives were best commanded by a single officer invested with absolute authority, and - entitled ----- in -their , eyes:= to supreme and unqualified respect. There was another point, too, on which it behoved us to exercise ex treme solicitude. In India great importance at taches to the possession and transmission of landed estates. Though the property of the soil vests ulti mately in the Supreme Government, yet generations after generations will occupy the same estates, some times in the persons of noble and dignified land holders, and sometimes through the ancient incor porations of village communities. The loss of these lands is more than a calamity—it is a species of dishonour; and, what is more, it is seldom regarded in popular esteem as a lawful infliction. The in habitants of a district do not acquiesce in the trans fer of an estate from the hands of an old family to those of a money•lender, even though it be consum mated by course of law ; they sympathise with the expatriated woprietor, and, if opportunity serves, will assist him in regaining what they conceive to be his rights. It happens, too, that the state of Indian society gives frequent occasion to these local revolutions. One class—that of the petty chiefs, or, as wo should call them, the old country families —indulges in expenditure with the improvidence of genuine Milesians ; another —that of the money dealers—conducts - the business of usury with the keenness of Jews. The result of these elements, when allowed free scope for reciprocal action, we need not describe. Finally, theft, which is a crime elsewhere, is a profession in India, and in no coun try of the world is a strong and effective poliice more absolutely indispensable. Such being the people with whom we had to deal, what course did we adopt ? We ran directly counter to all their prejudices and refused all their wants. We diluted the autho rity of our representatives by so many discrimina tions of duty ; we filtered it through so many courts, and removed the tangible decision to so great a distance, that the simple native could see no justice at all. IVhat lie desired was some visible protector, and this protector ho would naturally have sought in the officer through whom he paid his taxes or otherwise rendered the homage of a subject. In old times he would have repaired to the Rajah, or to the Committee of Five, by which village disputes were settled on the spot, with no other check than the instincts of right or wrong implanted in'tlie breasts of the audience. As it was, he had to seek out a native lawy , :r before he could learn how to proceed at all ; by this agent his case was purposely exaggerated, and after the suit had been carried through all kinds of processes except that of confronting the parties before an in telligent judge, he obtained a sentence at such a cost of money and pistience as to fill him with di‘ - gust. In short, instead of summary justice, we gave him Chancery law. Our tribun a l s , as far as European administration was concerned, were neither corrupt nor negligent, but the procedure, through the multitude of transfers and appeals, was inexpressibly wearisome, and so large a scope was left for the intervention of native agency that it is impossible to say how far justice itself may not have been perverted. In the matter of landed property the case was still worm The country gentleman, like the " real gentleman" of a sister island, was usually in debt, and when he was in debt he was at the mercy of the subtle and unscrupulous usurer. That func tionary would obligingly advance him money at his needs, and with equal politeness would say nothing about it afterwards. The debt would silently accu mulate at compound interest, till some fine morning the amount was suddenly demanded, and payment enforced. Against the cunning and deeply laid schemes of the money-lender, well versed in the practice of the Courts, the poor Zomindar had no chance whatever, and the neighbourhood became scandalised by the eviction of a popular proprietor, and the substitution of a non-resident landlord, who never showed himself except to get in his dues. Sometimes a whole village community was dis possessed of its patrimony by similar means. A money-dealer acquired the interest of some un th riftv member in the common property, established a right of his own, commenced disputes about boundaries, sued his neighbours and co-parceners, exhausted their means, bought up their claims, and at last, by dint of worry, intimidation, and chica nery, actually absorbed the entire estate. No won der these people occasionally turned against us in the mutinies. We, it is true. had not robbed them, but they considered they had been robbed unger our rule. _ That the police in India is sadly indlicient most people have heard ; that it could not, from its con stitution, be otherwise, few perhaps understand. The best of its departments is that in the employ and pay of the Supreme Government; the next best, that maintained by the large towns; the worst of COUNTRY MA_RIBTB. • LIVERPOOL—Om 14.

Oats in rather better request, but oatmeal met with a slow sale, at late rates. Barley, beans, and peas pretty well supported, at former quotations. Indian corn neglected. WAKEFIELD—Om 11.
