AT .4.-i-OLEn9. The Moniteur publishes the following from Algiers, dated the 19th : " The Emperor and Empress yesterday morning laid the first stone of the fine Boulevard which is to run along the shore, and which, while giving to the city a delightful promenade, will at the same time rsndor material advantages to agriculture and com merce, as a means of communication. The religious ceremony was performed by Monsigncur Pavy, Bishop of Algiers, attended by his clergy. This Boulevard is to take the name of the Empress. An immense concourse of persons, both French and na tive, were collected. eager to see their Majesties, and the ceremony displayed a most picturesque character. During the day the Emperor and the Empress went on to the Arach at the entrance of th e Plain of the Mitidja, to be present at the grandest Arab fete ever given in the country. Under the skilful direction of General Jusuf con tingents of the Kabyle infantry and cavalry of the three provinces, with all the Aghas and Caids at their head, had been assembled to come and pay homage to the Emperor. After a sham fight be tween the different tribes a grand fantasia took place by from 9,000 to 10,000 horsemen rushing forward at the swiftest gallop and discharging their firearms before their Majesties tent; after wards a magnificent charge was given by 12 squad rons of Spahis, crossing the plain like a hurricane, then followed tilting matches, gazelle, ostrich, and falcon hunts ; a grand filing-off of the Touaregs, with their fac es ve il e d, an d mo u nted on their camels ; and of the Chambas, those inhabitants of the depths of the Desert, end the future carriers of French commerce into the Soudan. After, in short, one of the most splendid spectacles that could be imagined, all the Goums, forming an immense line of battle, advanced majestically, with banners displayed and muskets held high in the air, towards the eminence on which the Emperor's tent had been pitched. The chiefs, clad in the richest burnous, alighted from their steeds and came in a body to present the horse of homage, caari ps oned with gold, and th us perform an act of submission to the Sovereign of France. At this moment, rendered solemn by the beauty of the scone and the warlike appearance of the various tribes, and whose long resistance has given glory to the French arms, the Emperor could not prevent himself from giving way to visible emotion. The Bey of Tunis was gresent at this grand solemnity. In the evening the city gave a grand ball, but the Emperor alone was present, The Empress, in con sequence of accounts which she received of the alarming state of her sister, the Duchess d'Alba, did not accompany his Majesty. To-day their Majesties were present at the grand review of the French troops, who had been brought together from the three provinces for the fete. The Bey of Tunis was at the review, but soon took leave of their Majesties to return to Tunis. he Emperor will be present this evening at a grand banquet to be given by the city, after which their Majesties will embark on board the Aigle, and leave at mid night, so as to arrive about 4 o'clock on Friday at Marseilles. COLLECTION OF THE INCOME-TAI. QUARTERLY. The present Parliamentary vacation has been unusually prolific in events of stirring interest: The mind of England has been concentrated, after its wont, upon a single figure and upon a single subject. Garibaldi has been to us the hero of an epic poem, the brilliant events of which succeed each other with all the regularity of fiction and all the impres • siveness of fact. While our own sky has been over cast, and our own temperature cold and winterly, our thoughts have been on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean or amid the g olden valleys and arid mountains of Calabria. Wat will Garibaldi do next? Is he going at Austria ? Will he force France to draw her sword in defence of the Pope ? Will he overthrow Cavour, or will Cavour out manoeuvre and overreach him ? These have been of late our favourite subjects of contemplation, and nothing very particular has happened to remind us that we have affairs of our own. We have only two wars on hand at the present moment, and both are so remote that we cannot bring ourselves to feel a very thrilling interest in the results. The voices that have disturbed our repose for the last seven months are delightfully silent, and the nation is per mitted therefore, Without interruption from any quarter, to fix its attention on the rising fortunes of Italy and her patriots. We have the double satis faction of being at rest ourselves and contemplating the troubles and turmoils of others. There is one person, however, and that neither Garibaldi, Cavour, nor the Emperor Napoleon, who is never long at rest himself, and never long suffers anybody else to be so. As well expect the caged tiger to cease pacing backwards and forwards within his narrow limits as suppose that any vaca tion, any time of relaxation or quiet, can lull to rest the morbid activity of our Chancellor of the Ex chequer. The word " repose" is not in his dic tionary, and that which he does not require for himself he is determined not to allow to others. He is always managing for us some charming little surprise—something that nobody could expect, and which, if they did expect, everybody would unite in deprecating. He is a perfect master of the sud denly disagreeable. He has effectually divorced the idea of surprise from the idea of pleasure. His de light is to excite our most especial wonder, and he has, indeed, considerable claims, in this quiet and steady-going country, to take rank as the inventor of a new science, which may perhaps, be known to future ages under the name of financial thauraa turgy. At the beginning of this year we had all made up our minds to have, financially at least, a quiet life. We had a windfall of some two millions, and a deficit in prospect which rendered that wind fall very acceptable. Suddenly the French treaty burst upon us, and before we had time to recover our breath from this unlooked-for operation we found ourselves landed, by the most eloquent budget on record, in a deficiency of 12 millions. A succes sion of financial operations followed, on which we will not dwell. Suffice it to say they ended with the demand of a million credit, which nobody had expected, and for which no pa rticular reason could be given. We h a d undergoe ab out as many sur prises as the nati ona l nerves cou ld bear, and the rising of Parliament was felt as a relief , bec ause, it had, at any rate, fixed a period, as we vain l y thought, to Mr. Gladst one ' s financial evolutions. The chapter of accidents and the possibility of offi• cial change were before us, and we certainly did not expect another surprise, at least before Parlia ment had again assembled. Bat we little knew our man. Mr. Gladstone has in store for us a change which, if we mistake not, will create quite as m uc h sensation and give him and everybody else q u it e as much trouble as even he can desire. It is a little domestic revolution, to which we have no occasion to invite the attention of Paterfamilias, for it will certainly be brought to his notice in a much more Pointed manner than through the columns of the Times. t may be rem em b ere d th a t, a mong the other shifts to be Mr. Gladstone had to resort in order to balance his accounts with the current year, there figured side b y sid e a quarter's income tae , "ti the Spanish windfall a Whether this expedient, which a portion a a ti;e l income of next year was drawn back to fill this, suggested the change we do not knos i :', 4 l,: t in a matterce in it is that what the Budget treated as rta f a ac d count is about to be reduced to a matter of f act o the it is the intention of Mr. Gladstone to ea r l:Let: h a t e i ncome . tax quarterly, instead of half.yearl past,mmencip; Our readers the operation with the 20th day, justiontththeiirs present month of September. capacity of contributors to the revenue, w hi c h can never long ,be absent from their minds, are doubt less aware that the Chancellor of the Exchequer shears his flock—that is, collects the income ta x _ twice in the year, leaving such wool as may grow within the period of six months to be snipped oft by the payment of the assessed taxes.

Be sides, whatever is gained by this anticipation of payment will be more than compensated, we appre hend, by the increased expenses of collection. As far as the keeping accounts, the issuing of notices, and attendance to collect go, the labour will be ex actly doubled, and of course double labour must be remunerated, if not by double pay, at any rate by a considerable increase. We cannot help thinking that Mr. Gladstone w3uld have done wisely to con tent himself with the triumphs of last session, such as they were, and not to have put the patience of the taxpayer to this last trial.—Times. INDUS STEAM FLOTILLA. The report of the directors of this undertaking, to be submitted at the meeting of the proprietors on Tuesday next, has been published :—lt was stated in the last report, that the noble steamer Stanley was in course of erection at Kurrachee ; that three other passenger-steamers had been shipped, and that the remaining three were ready for shipment ; that s ix towing steamers and 25 cargo-barges had ar rived at Kurrachee, and the eight remaining cargo barges had left for that port ; that the services of some of the best officers, practically familiar with the navigation of the Indus, had been secured ; that one tug steamer was nearly rivetted, and that preparations were in progress for laying down the passenger -steamers and accommodation-flats, con structed by Messrs. Richardson and Duck ; and that the demand for tonnage on the river was far in excess of what the existing steamers and boats could supply. The experimental steamer Stanley made her preliminary trial-trip on the Indus, and encountered a cyclone (which entirely disabled a Government vessel), and subsequent storm of unusual severity, without sustaining any injury; proving that, notwithstanding her great light ness of construction and draught, she was fully equal to contend with the storms which occasionally visit the Indus. Although the strength of the Stanley, and her lightness of draught, were entirely satisfactory, the speed attained upon the Indus was not equal to the result obtained on the Thames; but when some alterations, connected with the paddles, are com pleted, it is believed that the speed will be improved, and that she will shortly take her place on the sta tion. Three of the passenger-steamers have arrived at Kurrachee, and are in course of erection ; and the remaining passenger-steamers have recently left this country. The seven accommodation flats have ar rived at Kurrachee, and two of them are nearly completed. The tug-steamers and cargo-barges are now being re-erected as rapidly as circumstances permit ; and several of them are expected shortly to be fit for service. With reference to the naviga tion of the Indus, an official report on the naviga tion of the Punjaub rivers, recently addressed to Sir C. Wood, has the following inf orma ti on , w hi c h may beinteresting to the proprietors. The Indus is the second river in India, Hitherto its navigation has borne i no proportion to eith er i ts ran k or magn it u d e . This can scarcely be att r ib u t e d e ith er t o th e rapi dity of its current or the natural obstacles in its channels ; for in many of the rivers of Europe dif ficulties far greater than any which are to be met on the Indus have been successfully over come, while the fact of its being opened through out the year gives it a great advantage over some of the finest of the livers, both of Europe and Ame rica. The native boats are at best but clumsy craft, intended only for the slow conveyance of the heavier class of merchandise, and affording no ac commodation for passengers, who, indeed, have never been considered. The south winds prevail throughout the whole of the hot season, giving to the Indus in its navigation, and to a certain extent to its tributaries, great advantage over its rival the Ganges, the course of the one being north and south, and that of the other nearly east and west. The banks of the Lower Indus . are abundantly supplied with a good ' description of timber for fuel, the babul (acacia Arabica). In some of the Punjaub rivers, the Jhe lum, for instance, the number of native boats has greatly increased of late years, yet the number is by no means equal to the increased demands of the trade. During the season of 1858, the rate of freight age had risen so high that the profits on a single trip from Pind Daden Khan on the Jehlum, to Roree on the Indus, a distance of about 430 miles, repaid the cost of the boat, the result of this s a t n a a t e cotton t things on be being ing al t m h o a s t t none ent i r b e u l t y the eexcluded c m l u o d r e e d v ; a l i u n a d b e l e e d kinds i,e ol latter t produce , d a u r c t e i c , l such h c h a s a s almost sugar, wholly saltpetre, ce a & s c e . a , couldto be bear gro w t this s for h high h e xcpoosrtt,of although transit ; can ' produced on the banks of the Jhelum, and of good ' quality, for a penny a pound. Since the last an nual general meeting of the company, the Indus Steam Flotilla shares being fully paid up, have been converted into Indus Steam Flotilla capital stock, in pursuance of a resolution of the proprie tors to that effect. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE IN THE FRENCH CATACOMBS. A very - singular incident has just taken place. A journeyman printer named Philippart, employed on a journal, returned, at two o'clock on the morn ing of Thursday, to his residence, 10, Rue Duguay, Trouin, near the Luxembourg, and, when near his door, it seemed to him that he heard cries of dis tress from under the earth. As first he fancied he ' was labouring under an illusion, but, on listening, he distinctly heard human voices from below an iron slab which covers an orifice opening into the catacombs. He summoned some police officers, and they, hearing the same cries, caused the slab to be removed. " Who are you down there, and what are you doing ?"asked one of the officers ; and the answer was given, " We are four men lost in the catacombs ! Pray give us a light !" Some matches and candles were let down, and one of them having struck a light, said, " We know our way now ; we will go out by the door in the Rue Notre Dame des Champs;" and they went away. Shortly after, four men, pale and haggard, pre sented themselves at the guard-house in the Rue de Fleurus, and related these facts :—M. Katery, one of the keepers of the catacombs, having occa sion to change a lock of the door of one of the gal leries, went, on the previous afternoon to the spot, accompanied by a locksmith named Chabral, that man's apprentice, of the name of Moron, and M. Ozanne, an architect's pupil: Incredible to relate, they took only one candle, and did not even place it in a lantern, and, more extraordinary still, did not carry with them any matches. No sooner had they reached the door where the job was to be done, than a sudden puff of air blew out the light! Under the guidance of Katery they attempted to find their way back; but notwithstanding his minute knowledge of the road, they went astray, and spent hour after hour in going up one gallery and down another. In total darkness they could not find any clue to direct them to an outlet, and the further they walked the more desperate their situation appeared to become. At length, after about twelve hours spent in pacing up and down, they were completely exhausted by fatigue and terror. Then Katery had a happy idea—" Let us shout for help," he said, " perhaps we may be' heard !" They did shout, and, as related above, were heard. Their good fortune was rea l ly miraculous, inasmuch as not only were they beneath a street, but though the time.was the very dead of night, a person happened tobe near. Hay the poor men were of course ing told their tale, warmly congratulated on their escape from a dread ful death, and, they, on their part, expressed hearty gratitude to Philippart, and the other officers who removed the slab. These gloomy vaults are la rely Opened, but on those rare occasions extraordinary Precautions are often neglected. Each person is hound to bear a candle, and guides accompany the Party, stopping at frequent intervals to see whether any have strayed away through the labrinth of skeletons ; but these precautions are strangely neglected. A party consisting of three students and as many grisettes NI ere saved from premature interment, on a late visit to these regions, by the loud vociferations of " Slew. de Eramboisy," which directed the guides to their whereabouts. They had brought down two bottles of yin ordinaire and one of brandy, with which they were carousing amongst the corpses in the bowels of the harmless earth. The French have a great respect for death when cased in a coffin. The men invariably take off their hats, and the women cross themselves as a funeral passes by; but you should hear their jokes on the slovenly unwholesome corpses which are laid out ma slabs at the Morgue, like the tur bots at Groves's. As for the catacombs, with their three millions of skeletons, there is little to excite any respect for grim death. They extend beneath a considerable part of the Faubourg St. Germain, and especially the rues St. Jacques, de la Harpe, de Tournon, de Van eirard, the Theatre de l'Odeon, the ehurch of St. Sulpice, the Pantheon, Val-de-Grace the Observatoire, and they go beyond the fortifications to Mont rone. In them, as is known, are deposited the bones which 'were' collected from the different burial-places of Paris, on the suppression, in the time of the Revolution, of the cemeteries within the walls; and these g hastly objects are piled up n such a way as to form galleries or streets, which extend for miles. It is recorded that at different times numerous persons have lost their way in these dreadful regions, ,and have died of hunger and terror. TNIE DISTRIBUTION OF ANIMALS. Mr. Edward Wilson in a letter to the Times says :—ln advocating the cause of the energetic and systematic interchange of natural productions, we have often been met, by that very large class who are always anxious to do nothing, with this argument :—" All this may be very well for you, interested as you are in a new continent nearly as large as all Europe, and of which at present only an infinitesimal portion is converted to any useful purpose ; but Great Britain itself is an old settled country, and long since stocked up with pretty nearly as many valuable things as she can carry." I will again quote, in opposition to this argument, M. St. Hilaire's statement that even England only domesticates about 43 animals out of 140,000 ; but I will refer to the letter I have alluded to which points out in very plain terms two especial wants to which England itself is subjected, andJ mention these as specimens—not certainly as the only wants that could be suggested. The letter is written by a gentleman long resi dent in South America, and after giving me some valuable information as to the field furnished for this kind of experiment amid the rich resources of that beautiful country, he goes on as follows : " There are two English wants which especially re quire to be supplied—viz., a pond fish, which should be as prolific and amenable to management as the carp, and should be what the carp is not—good to eat. Our second great want is a domestic animal, not too larrae when killed to be consumed by a mid dle-class family, and the flesh of which should be meaty rather than poultry-like. Our sheep are tao large for this purpose ' • pork not wholesome if used too frequently or killed too young; and rabbits, too small, flavourless and white-meated." Now, I think there can be no doubt that such a fish and animal are to be found. Probably M. St. Hilaire's list of 140,000 swarms with them. Within a week two orithree gentlemen from the Council of the Zoological Society and two or three from the British Museum could show us exactly the very fish and animal we ought to have. And the next thing v e should probably find is that there would be no difficulty whatever in procuring them. All that is required is to set a very simple machinery in motion. With splendid steamers and clipper ships running constantly to almost every port in the world, the thing might literally be done in a few months. For the new animal my correspondent suggests the wombat, although he confesses that he cannot get authentic information as to its habits, fecun dity, and quality of flesh. It abounds over immense districts in Australia, burrowing deeply in the earth, feeding by night—on grass, I believe ; and, although shy and difficult to be got at, its flesh is sufficiently delicate to induce the natives to sink most tremendous shafts to intercept it in its re cesses. Some specimens are to be seen in the Regent's-park, from which it would appear to be docile and probably capable of domestication ; but whether this is the most suitable animal for the purpose, or whether some one much more suitable may not be indicated, is a question solely, I con ceive, for the scientific naturalist. As to the machinery for the conveyance of such things, I have already alluded in my last letter to the Acclimatization Society, which has lately been ushered into existence under very flattering aus pices, and which at present has its committee-rooms at the Field-office, in the Strand. If properly sup ported, such an organisation as this would soon be able to render us much more difficult services than the introduction of such a fish and such an animal as I have alluded. to. And that it should be so supported ought scarcely to admit of doubt, considering the interesting nature of its functions, and the numerous and most wealthy and influential class to whom it specially appeals. We raised, as I have mentioned, £l,OOO for a small flock of alpacas from Victoria, and £6OO for our un successful attempt with the salmon. I do not quote this in a vainglorious spirit ; on the contrary, I think we ought to have done a great deal more, and it was a shame that our stock of ova were allowed to die, after having actually crossed the tropics, for want of another ton or two of ice. But when a mere handful of Australians here in England have done even that much, what ought not the resources of a society to be'which enters upon the whole vast field of acclimatization for Great Britain and all her domi nions, and thereby commends itself especially to the notice and support of the aristocracy, landed gentry, and wealthy mercantile classes of the country, interested as they are in the progress of Canada, Australia, and the Cape, as well as in that of Lan cashire, Ayrshire, and Londonderry ! So far have the claims of this society been already felt in some quarters that one of the results of the publication of my letter in your columns has been, I am sure you will be glad to hear, my being autho rised to convey to the council of the society a dona tion of £5OO from a lady well known for her acts of intelligent benevolence, and a subscription of ten guineas annually for the next five years. Since I last wrote you I have received an intima tion from Mr. Nicholson, the Chief Secretary of the colony of Victoria, that he has offered the Go vernment of Tasmania to put a vote of £5OO upon the Estimates of Victoria, on condition of their giving the same amount, for a renewed trial of the salmon experiment, and that he hopes to induce his colleagues to send home further sums for kindred objects. Will you allow me to remark that in this appa rent rivalry between private generosity and Go vernmental vigour, thus forced upon my attention within a day or two, a very interesting problem is involved as to how far important national efforts ought to be left to private enterprise, how far the assistance of Governments is desirable. A few weeks since the question was asked in the House of Lords by the Earl of Carnarvon of the Duke of Newcastle whether the subject of the sys tematic interchange of the natural productions of the various British dependencies had been brought under the notice of the Colonial-office, and how far such proposal had met a favourable recep tion. His grace replied that it had been in his power to render some service to the cause in writ ing to the governors of several of our colonies, but said that he was sure Lord Carnarvon would agree with him that anything like direct assistance in the nature of a vote of public money was inexpedient, as such things were better left to private enterprise. Which, then, of these two courses is the right one ? Is our Victorian Government right, which does not disdain to lend effective assistance in developing the resources of a very noble country, and setting aside a portion of its revenue to add to the wealth, happiness, and convenience of its people ? Or is your Government right in standing haughtily aloof while surrounded with 55 colonies of unknown capacities, leaving everything to private enterprise; and if, as I have alleged, private enterprise altoge ther fails, allowing the noblest undertakings to rest completely untested by any effort whatever P Let us take a single case as an illustration of the comparative eligibility of the two courses of action. Among the various useful productions of the world few take a higher rank than the common herring. What has it not done for the coasts of Scotland and Ireland ! How can we adequately estimate its value as an article of food, or calculate the impor tance of this strong scented, high-flavoured morsel in its exportable state, in giving interest to the otherwise insipid and monotonous dish of millions of the worst-fed people upon earth ? What, then, would it not be worth to mankind to get this fish conveyed to the southern hemisphere ? Yet who is to do it ? Private enterprise generally looks for a direct return ; and where is the man who could calculate upon a pecuniary return for the large sum requisite to convey the herring across the tropics ? It is a project of national dimensions, and it de serves a national effort. I believe it capable of at tainment; for, delicate as the fish is, and dying al most instantly as it is taken from the water, I have such confidence in the instinctive impulses of ani mals that I feel sure, if conveyed from its native But, e e n as r t ia seasaoksit ing of equal coldness, it would itself make its way t o th e var i ous coasts, and surpr i se the people does here, s ss : s its p w e i c t i h m e nof prodigious a exfecundity.tensiys list, we should require for such an undertaking a powerful either fi m s h s steamer, s e p r a , w towing w throughi ng t well-boatshe tropicsc ot) containing n itheng shortest possible time, and mountains of ice to keep the water at a proper temperature. These are things to press with stifling weight upon private enterprise, although mere trifles in comparison with the millions at Government disposal. It is sad to think how little prospect there is of this one among a thousand interesting experiments ever being accomplished by private enterprise, when England, with all her gigantic opportunities, is only now founding an Acclimatization Society. And it is equally sad to think that, of all the noble fleets cruising uselessly in so many seas, not one ship should be available for one short month to ren der this great service to mankind.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY* rt YEN/ G, SEPTgM'BER 24, 1880. IRBL.4.NA DUBLIN, SATURDAN EVENING. THE MARCHIONESS OF LoNDONDERRY AND HER TENANTRY. There is not on the property of this noble woman —noble in every sense of the word—either sec tarian animosity or extreme poverty—those fertile sources of crime and of the evils which had long rendered Ireland a byeword of anarchy, outrage, and social disorder amongst neighbouring nations, At a social meeting with her tenantry the other evening, at Carnlough, the Rev. Mr. Wilson, in cumbent of the parish, said that he had been con nected with it for thirty years, and during all that time he could not bring to his recollection a single dissension between clergymen of different deno minations. They learned to agree to differ; and while differing conscientiously, and honestly ex pressing their differences, they could cordially co• operate in every work of practical benevolence. Happy parish !—a green spot in the wilderness! 'Who would not like to sit under its palm of peace, and repose beside its well of charity undefiled ! Yet this almost Utopian state of happiness and tranquillity has been produced by the simplest means —by the will of a woman to establish mutual in terest and affection between herself and her tenants. Carnlough enjoys no peculiar advantages of soil or climate; its people none of moral or physical supe riority. All the magic that has been at work to produce an oasis of prosperity and peace out of a desert of comparative misery and turmoil was the will of a woman who saw the way to the accom plishment of this blissful change, and pursued it till success rewarded her perseverance. What she has done all other proprietors can easily achieve if they go about it in the way that she has proved must command success, as well as deserve it. The Marchioness of Londonderry sets an example to the landlords of Ireland which, if generally followed, would very soon change the face of the country. We have often heard of the maxim which has been associated with the name of the late Mr. Drum mond—that " Property has its duties as well as its rights." It is important and true ; but there is more force in this maxim enunciated by Sir E. W. M'Naghten —" Good landlords make good tenants." The former maxim rubs human nature against the grain, and provokes antagonism ; the latter touches it gently, as a lady pats a spirited and highly-conditioned horse, and so gets most good out of him. It is in this way the Afarchioness of Londonderry deals with her tenantry. For six years she has been trying the experiment whether good landlords make good tenants, and it must be admitted that her efforts have been crowned with great success. She pro mised six years ago that she would cross the sea and visit annually her tenants as long as her health would permit. She feels as if each visit would be the last, and so the advice she gives is peculiarly impressive and earnest. Whateverlwe may think of " the rights of women"—however we may feel that essential differences of form and temperament fit the sexes to move in different spheres, and to perform different duties—we feel that there is great propriety in the conduct of the Marchioness of Lon donderry, on occasions like this, in pointing out to her tenantry faults to be corrected and virtues to be cultivated. ,''here is a thorough earnestness and fearless frankness about Lady Londonderry's ad vice, which the honest hearts of her grateful te nantry can fully appreciate, and which must have greatly contributed to their welfare. Of course, such a clear-sighted philanthropist as the noble marchioness could not be indifferent to the advantages of the national system of education. In returning thanks for her health, she addressed some words of kind advice to her happy tenantry. Among other things she urged [upon them the ne cessity of paying more attention to the education of their child i gen, and availing themselves more fully of the advantages offered by the National Board. In commenting upon this pleasant event, the Daily Express avails itself of the opportunity to offer the following pertinent remarks upon the duties of the rich, and the vast advantages of their residing in the midst of their tenantry—absenteeism having been one of the most fertile of the many sources of Irish evils It is more than ever necessary in this busy and selfish age that the rich and powerful should exhibit a kind and considerate spirit, and that the bonds of society should be strengthened and drawn closer by social inter course. A feeling of desolation comes over a neighbourhood when the big house' of the land lord is deserted. lie is in England, or on the Con tinent, and silence reigns in his noble mansion. There is no sound of merry voices along the corri dors, nor of horses or dogs about the house. There is no motion, no life. Te grass is growing on the avenue, and among the pavement in the farmyard. The stable is empty—the garden is overrun with weeds—the flowers are growing wild, and the fruits degenerate on the unpruned trees, which fall down from the sunny walls on which they were once care fully trained—fit emblems of a neglected and fail. ing tenantry. When a child takes ill, when some severe trial visits a poor family, there is no bene volent lady to run to for medicine and wine. The landlady is not there, and the affections of the pea santry have nothing to cling to. There is not even a resident agent to discharge, in some measure, th e duties of landlordism, and. put forth those moral influences which are the cement of society. We cannot expect tenants under such circumstances to be all that they should be. Good landlords make good tenants'—but in order to do so, they must re side amon. , their tenantry. And when this is im possible they must visit them annually, and meet them at the social board, like the Marchioness of Londonderry, and endeavour, as far as possible, to have their places filled by worthy agen t s , such as Mr. Wilson." DOUBLE MURDER AND EXECUTION OF THE AtU.RDER.ER. George Waines, a native of Sherborne, England, was executed at Melbourne, Australia, on the 18th of July. The murderer was 37 years old, and sailed from Liverpool for Australia in the Duke of Rich mond in the year 1853. His victims, Ilobt. Hunt and his wife, Mary Hunt, resided at a farm near Casterton, in October, 158. The prisoner's house and farm were about 200 yards or 300 yards dis tant Hunt and his wife were last seen at their hut on Monday, the 4th October, 1853, and Mary Hunt again on the evening of that day. Neither were seen afterwards. It appeared that Hunt, by an agreement dated sth May, 1858, had agreed to sell his farm, consisting of 40 acres, to the prisoner, for the sum of £139 15s, payable by a bill of ex change at six months, which was duly given, and would arrive at maturity on the sth November, 1853, and it was alleged that the double murder was committed for the money in question. The prisoner, who confessed his crime, gave the following account of the murder :—" It was not done for the money, I had no call to do it for that; it was done for Mrs. Hunt ealliiag my wife a After I had paid Hunt all that was due to him he asked me if I would let them have the hut to live in for a fortnight. I told him I could not, as I had got a married couple corning the next day, and they would want to live in it. With that Mrs. Hunt spoke to me, and said, That's the doings of that at the Wannon. She knows that I want to stop in the hut until you come from Portland.' When she said that I was just going to the wood heap with the axe in my hand, and struck her over the head and she fell. Hunt was at the wood heap at the time, and took up a lump of wood and ran at me to strike me, but I struck him instead ; and that is the way they came by their death, which I after wards was‘very sorry for; but I could not call back what was done. I th oug ht once o f confessing it : but I afterwards turned afraid of it, thinking I might be blamed and executed for it, as though had done it wilfully. The murderer then buried the bodies of his victims, and it was eight months before any of the remains were found. At length some bones - were discovered in the river. The doc tors declared they were the remains of a female, and the prisoner was brought to trial for the mur der of the woman, the evidence against him being principally his own confessions to different persons. After his conviction he declared that the bones were not those of Mrs. Hunt. In an interview with his counsel he stated that "some eight months after the murder and burial of the remains, he at mid night disinterred the body of Mary Hunt, and sub jectea it to the operation of an enormous wood fire, and reduced the bones to ashes. This occupied some hours, at the expiration of which time there was but a solitary bone remaining, which Waines pul verised between his finger and thumb. Having thus destroyed every trace of Mary, he proceeded to the grave of John Hunt, whom he disinterred with the intention of burning his body also, but his nerves failed him, and he carried the bones, together with some remnants of clothing which still clung to the flesh, to the river Cilenelg, and cast them into a water hole. The night being moonlight lie perceived that they rose to the surface. He then tired them up in a bag with some earth and stones, alid again threw them into the river. This time they sank, and were never again seen by mortal eye save his own, until they were found by the detec tive:" Whether the bones were those of the wife or hus band the prisoner was rightly condemned, and suf fered the extreme penalty of the law. Precisely at ten o'clock, the sheriff, with the usual formalities, demanded the bady of the convicted man, and Waines, who from an early hour in the morning had been engaged in religious exercises with the chap gaol, the Rev. Mr. Stoddart, came forth f ia. ro in m o l l i . is th c e ell. As the executioner commenced to pinion his arms a few tears witnessed the intensity of his feelings et the situation in which by his own guilt he - had placed himself, but hastily wiping ' them away he appeared calm and collected, though subdued. He was thessed precisely in the same manncr as at his dial. As soon as his arms were pinioned the moiArnful procession to the place of execution commenced. With a firm step - Waives naountel the stairs leading to the scaffold. As the clergyman. repeated that portion of the burial ser vice, "in the midst of life we are in death," the bolt was drawn, and in 40 seconds the wretched man had ceased to exist. Wallies was a farmer by trade, and was a short stout-built man, about 5 feet 5 inches in height, of a fresh complexion. There was nothing peculiarly forbidding in his counte nance, nor anything to lead to the supposition that he would be capable of any fearful crime. We are informed by the Rev. Mr. Stoddart that for the last two days he seemed much subdued, and Mr. Stod dart had great hopes that he was truly penitent ; he expressed his entire forgiveness of all who had been instrumental in procuring his conviction, and ob tained permission to give a religious book; which that gentleman had lent him, to a friend. He also wrote a long letter to his wife, enclosing a lock of his hair, and advising her to leave the colony. He made no addition to his former confession, so that, at present, the identity of the bones is still involved in some degree of doubt and uncertainty. TILE STEPNEY MURDER. Within the last few days the detective officers from Scotland-yard charged with the endeavour to discover the murderer of Mrs. Emsley have elicited some new circumstances having an apparent bearing upon the matter. These we state in their naked simplicity, just as they have been communicated by persons presumed to be above all others well informed on the subject. Feeling, however, all the respon sibility which attaches to the publication of state ments affecting, it may be, however remotely, a man now charged on suspicion with being concerned in a capital offence, it is necessary to suggest caution in deducing inferences, inasmuch as the circum stances to which allusion is made may possibly be hereafter related in different terms, under the obli gations of an oath, before a judicial tribunal, and with all the usual safeguards for testing the truth. First of all, a man named Mitchell, living at Hoxton, and employed as a workman in the docks, has quite recently volunteered the mention of a circumstance to the police authorities which, he says, made a strong impression on his mind at the moment, and a still stronger one after the discovery of the murder. He is understood to have stated that about 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning, the 14th of August—the murder being presumed on all hands to have been committed on the previous evening— as he was on his way from Hoxton to the docks he met a man, a stranger to him, near Stepney-green, going towards the Bow-road, whose appearance and manner attracted his attention, This stranger as he approached seemed to him—but that was only his first impression —to be slightly tipsy. Mitchell had his hands in the side pockets of a woollen jacket he wore. The stranger as he came near him stopped suddenly right in front of him for a moment, and stared at him in an extraordinary manner, so much so that Mitchell instinctively pulled both his hands out of his pockets for the purpose of self defence, if it should be necessary. But they passed each other without exchanging words, the stranger giving him the notion by his manner. that he could have wished to avoid him. A day or two ago Mitchell was taken to the Clerkenwell House of Detention, where Mullins is confined, to see if he could recognise among the prisoners there the man whom he had met under the circumstances just stated. Most stringent precautions were taken that the examination on his part should be completely free from all external bias. Ser geants Tanner and Thomas, who accompanied him, were charged to remain outside the prison while he went inside upon his errand. He was at tended by a gaoler, an utter stranger to him, who, without speaking to him, opened the separate cells of some 20 or 30 prisoners, and thus allowed him to have a careful look at each—the result being that, after scrutinising some 18 or 20 prisoners, he iden tified Mullins as the man whom he met near Step ney-green, although the prisoner was. dressed in different clothes from those which Mitchell said the stranger wore on the morning in question. Another circumstance is that a silver or German silver pencilcase has recently been delivered up to the police by a potboy at a publichouse in Chelsea, near where Mullins lived, which he said was sold to him by Mrs. Mullins • and this pencil case Mr. Biggs, the amanuensis Of Mrs. Emsley, is said to be prepared to prove belonged to her. For the moment a document is missing to which some importance is attributed. On the examination of the house of the deceased on the day on which the murder was discovered a receipt was found bearing what purported to be the signature, writ ten in pencil, of Mullins to a bill for some work he had done for her. This document, which is said to have been dated on the day on the evening of which the murder was committed, and to have been found on a table in some part of the house, was sealed up in an envelope by Mr. Rose, the deceased's solicitor, who was present at the examination, addressed to Inspector Thornton, or to Scotland-yard, and handed for safe custody to Inspector Kerresey, of the local divisional police. It is wanting for the present, but it is not supposed to be absolutely lost, —hopes being entertained that it may be found in a collection of papers belonging to the deceased, of which it is said the police, or the authorities at the Treasury, have the possession. Again, a man's boot has been found in a dust hole connected with a house in which Mullins and his family lived in Orford-street, Chelsea, at and a short time after the murder, and this is reported to correspond with the impression of a footmark found in blood on the stairs of the deceased on the day on which the murder was discovered. TBE CIIILD MURDER AT ROAD. The inquiry into the circumstances of the myste rious child murder at Road, which has been in course of prosecution during the past fortnight by Mr. Slack, solicitor, of Bath, was on Saturday night concluded—so far, at all events, as the evi dence which Mr. Slack intends to take at Mr. Kent's residence. The witnesses who had been examined at Raad previous to Wednesday last were the Misses Elizabeth and Mary Kent, the cook, and housemaid, Master William Kent, and the two little girls, the one five years, and the other two and a half years of age. A meeting of magistrates was held at the Court-hall, Trowbridge, on Wed .nesday afternoon; Mr. H. G. G. Ludlow, and Messrs. W. and J. P. Staucomb were present, and Mr. Slack attended and read over the whole of the evidence he had taken on previous days. Consider able discussion ensued, for the statements of two or three of the witnesses occasioned surprise among gentlemen even so well versed in the case as were the magistrates present. The evidence of the boy, Holiday, the knife-cleaner, especially exhibited some remarkable features, and tended at first sight to incriminate some members of the household. It had not been determined previously what course to adopt in reference to Mr. and Mrs. Kent and Miss Constance, but after a lengthened deliberation Mr. Slack was instructed to proceed with his in quiry, and to take the evidence of all who it had been ascertained had slept at Road-hill house on the night of the murder. On Thursday morning, therefore, Mr. Slack resumed his sitting at Road, he being accompanied, as before, by two clerks, who transcribed the evidence from his notes; Mr. Dunn, Mr. Kent's legal adviser, and Superin tendents Wolfe and Foley being present. The evi dence of Mrs. Kent was first taken, and from eleven o'clock until four that lady endured a most searching examination, which, however, failed, as far as we can learn, -to elicit any new feature in the case. Mr. Kent was also examined for two hours that evening, and on Friday morning, on the in quiry being resumed, ho sustained several hours' rigid questioning. Miss Constance Emily Kent was then called in, and, having been examined for two or three hours, the inquiry was adjourned. The whole of Saturday was occupied by her renewed examination, which she bore with great self-posses sion and fortitude; and at the conclusion on Satur day evening Mr. Slack was understood to say that he had concluded all the proceedings he deemed it necessary to take on the premises: It is his inten tion, before finally closing his investigation, to call before him the family medical man—Mr. Parsons, of Beckington, who was summoned to attend the de ceased child immediately the body was found, and who made the post-mortem examination—and the nurse, Elizabeth Gough. It has not been hitherto stated that one of the witnesses examined by Mr. Slack at Bath was Emma Sparks, who left Mr. Kent's service a year and a half ago. Her evidence is said somewhat to contradict the statements which have been made as to the harmony existing in the family. The pisition of Mr. Kent's solicitor during these examinations, at which he has invariably been present, has been simply that of a passive listener, ho refusing to incur the responsibility of even-the appearance of a cross-examination. Ile did, indeed, we-are informed, interpose to prevent the signature by those who gave evidence at Road of their depo sitions, as had been done by the witnesses examined at Bath, and he is understood to have formally pro tested against the examination of Miss Constance Kent on the ground that she was still under accu sation of the murder, being bound over to appear when called on. As, however, she expressed her entire willingness to answer any questions put to her, the objectiop was unheeded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Eept. 22. MARLBOROUGH-STRF,ET.— A man named Richard Coulson, of No. 1, Crown-street, Solo, was summoned for levying an illegal and excessive dis tress on goods belonging to a poor but respectable mechanic, at 8, Grafton-street. • Mr. Edward Lewis, of Marlborough-street, gra tuitously appeared for the complainant and stated his case. Mr. Lewis said the complainant, a short time back, had the misfortune to lose a child by death, and when he buried it was in arrears for rent half-a-crown ; he had hard circumstances to con tend with, and on the 13th inst., eight days after, he buried his wife, who died soon after their in fant. The day before the funeral—the 12th-ss. were due, which would have been paid, but the unfeeling defendant, as landlord, taking advantage of the mournful procession leaving the house ae:ually broke open the door of complainant's npartment, and with a broker, carried off all his little furni ture, together with his tools of trade, and the few articles of apparel of his deceased wife, and that for os., which he had been assured would be paid him on the complainant's return. He was aware the penalty under the 2d and 3d Victoria, cap, 71, was but small and quite inadequate to meet the justice 'of as hardhearted and inhuman a case as the 1 present. The object was to take the' sense of the Court on it, and compel the return of the goods in question. The complainant, now residing in Dartmouth street, proved all that had been advanced, and said the defendant called on him on the 12th for his rent, when he told . him of his loss of his wife as well as child, that he should bury her next day, and would directly afterwards pay the ss. for rent due, adding that he had it then, but did not know exactly te interment fees at Woking, and, therefore, should like to wait till he returned. The defendant replied, " Oh ! You have the money, and won't pay ; then I know what to do," and left. Returning from the funeral, he found his room-door, which he had left locked, broken open, and all he possessed taken away—bed and bedstead, mahogany sideboard, books, his work tools, and a gold ring and clothes of his dead wife, which he should be sorry at all to part with, though not per haps, in actual value, worth more than 50s.—goods, tools, and clothes, seized for ss. Ellen Brussley proved breaking open the door by the defendant, and the carrying away of the goods by the broker and his man. Mrs. Elizabeth Lock, of Prince's-row, a mourner at the funeral, proved the locking up the door of the apartment in which were the goods, and giving the key to the complainant on the arrival of the coffin. In reply to the charge the defendant said the complainant had refused to pay him at all, because of the deaths ; that other lodgers grumbled because of effluvia arising from the room he had tenanted, and wanted it aired, and that he consulted a broker, who advised a distraint. All the goods he had got still, and would return on his rent and expenses being all paid him. Mr. Lewis—l am instructed to say that all the man has stated in defence is untrue. Mr. Beadon—Your conduct, and that of the broker for lending himself to it, is most inhuman and indecent, and if the goods, every article, are not forthwith returned on, the payment of the 55., with out a farthing expenses, you will be fined 30s. Let every article be instantly returned. THAMES.—ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.—On Saturday James Wildsmith, a gunmaker, aged 23, Emma Perkins, 16, and Johanna Manning, 24, were brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing £l2O in cash, a black leather bag and three linen bags, the moneys and property of James Perkins, the landlord of the Bricklayers Arms in Gloucester-street, Commercial-road East. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, conducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended Wild smith. At the first examination on Friday it was proved that Wildsmith, who is a married man, and whose wife has lately given birth to her first child, and Miss Perkins, the daughter of the prosecutor, eloped on Wednesday .morning last, and that the girl took with her £l2O in gold and silver, which was deposited in several linen bags, and placed in . a black leather bag. The girl adroitly removed the black leather bag and its contents from under her mother's pillow, while she was asleep. Wildsmith and the girl were discovered on Thursday after noon, on board the ship North America in the Mersey, by John Scott, a Liverpool detec tive. They had paid £l4 13s. for their passage to Quebec, and were travelling as Mr. and Mrs. Gold. They intended to proceed to the Salt Lake Valley, and join the Mormons. Wildsmith delivered £73 of the stolen money to Scott, who brought the offenders to London. Mr. Stoddart said he had considered a sugges tion thrown out by the magistrate on the first examination, and he now proposed to call the woman Manning as a witness. Mr. Yardley—That is right; let her be sworn. Johanna Manning, a stout Irish woman, was then released, and, after being sworn in the wit ness-box, said—l was in the employ of Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, of the Bricklayers' Arms, as general servant, up to Thursday last. I am now living at No. 21, St, Dunstan's-place, Brook-street, Ratcliff. Before the prisoners eloped I heard Wildsmith say he intended to take Emma Perkins to Scotland. I knew they had been keeping company for some weeks before. I said to Miss Perkins, "Do not keep his company, you do not know bat what he is a married man." She said, "I do not care whether he is married or single ; I love and like him, and will have him if I can." She also said, "I have seen his wife and child at the front of the bar." I said, "Emma, you have proof now that he is a married man." She said, " I don't care if he has twenty wives, I'll have him if I can." She said Wildsmith met me, and told me to make up as much money as I could, and he would take me to America. She said, "I will get the money if I can, as much as will take us both to America." On Wednesday morning, before breakfast, I saw Emma Perkins, with a leather bag, in my brother's house, in St. Dunstan's-place. I saw the bag opened. There were three linen bags in it, and she took twelve sovereigns and a half sovereign in gold and gave them to me. She went out of the house, and I put the money in a piece of paper, and de posited the parcel under Mr. and Mrs. Perkins's bed. On Thursday, after I heard that Wildsmith and Perkins had been apprehended, I told Mrs. Perkins where the money was, and gave it up to her. Mrs. Perkins—On Thursday Johanna Manning took the money, £l2 10s. and two half-crowns from under the bed, and gave it up to me. Henry Perkins, a young man, said he lived with his parents in Gloucester-street, and recollected on Wednesday morning last, at a quarter to eight o'clock, seeing Wildsmith in front of the bar. - A few minutes before that he saw his sister Emma dressed and ready to go out. He prevented her doing so, but soon afterwards, while he was wash ing his hands and face, she absconded. He said to Manning, my sister is off, and she expressed surprise, and said," Dear me, is she ?" Richard Owen, secretary to a loan society, called "The Friends of Labour," held at the prosecutor's house, said the prisoner Wildsmith, who gave the name of Gold, borroNVed .E 5 of the society on Tues day night last. lle paid him the loan of £5 less the discoun t. , Porter Wm. Dunaway, 129 11, said that when the prisoner Wildsmith was brought to the station house in Leman-street, Whitechapel, he searched him and found upon him a silver watch, a gold guard, a gold pin, a watch, brush, and key of a box which contained four new shirts and other pro perty. On the charge being read over, Wildsmith said, " I had the money from her ; I did not know it was stolen. When I did know it it made me open my eyes." Mr. Young said his client Wildsmith would re serve his defence. The girl Perkins, after receiving the usual cau tion, said I wish to make a statement. After she had fainted and recovered, she made the following statement, which was taken down in writing by Mr. Bowden, the second clerk : The first day after I saw Mr. Wildsmith, the ser vant, Johanna Manning, whom we called Anna, said to me, " What a nice young man Mr. Wildsmith is." I sa id " Yes, he is." She told me she had seen him and spoken to him. He told her that the first time he saw me he swore to himself he would have me if I was standing on the brink of h e ll, and that ho would go with me as far as I would g o. I said, " lie is a married man." She said, " You a re al—IT; fool, he is not." I .said, " I know better, seen his wife and child." She said " She is I not his wife, only a woman he is living w ith!, On Mon day evening Manning said to me, "I have s een Wildsmith this afternoon, and hes k aid he should go mead wa if a e said takehe s m w e o t r o e h I n ' e o t d i dmarried. not h a v S e h She y ou l i • d " s he would Aim rica if I would go with him, I said, "He has no money." Manning said, "B ut got plenty." " Oh, G o d, has it ' your m o th er has come to this ; am I Manning to rob my moth er ?" said, " Tell me Will whether you lov e him. you go ?" I said, 4, yes." On the followi ng day Manning said she had seen Wild sm i t h , and asle I him if ho loved her, and he replied, " Yes, to madness." She said to him, " By th , en, you sate h . her." In the after noon Wildsmith saw me and asked me if I was going. 'said," Ye s. " Manning ~ ' I told him I was going to Manning' s brother anning said she was going : out in the evening, and if Wildsmith would follow her she would show him where her brother lived. He said, " All right ; . I am cowing." That evening Manning went out, and took a dress of mine to bribe her sister to let me stay there till Wildsmith came for me. The same evening, when Manning came home, - Wildanith came into the kitchen and gave me a sovereign to get changed in the morning, and he said, " Mind, you must come ; if you do not, I will shoot you." He said, "If you do not get the money, I must take you without." I said, "If I can, I will get the money," when I and the servant went to my room and packed up a carpet bag full o f my clothes. We bad not been packing up lotto. before I heard my father coming up stairs, and she blew the light out. The next morning, when I got up I put on my things, ready to go, except my silk dress. I had on my cotton dress, I went up stairs to change the sovereign, and my mother was asleep. I took the leather bag which was between the bed and the mattress, from under my mother's head. It contained ,E 1.2.0 in gold and silver, but I would never have robbed my mother if I had known Wildsmith was a married man. I then went to put on my cloak and bonnet to go out. My brother saw me and said Hallo, Emila! what is up ?" I said, " I am going out on an errand." He said, " I will not allow you to go." I begged and prayed of him to let me go, but he would not. I then went into my room and put on my cotten gown. I said to my brother, " You can go now, for you see I cannot get out!' About two minutes afterwards Alarming came into my room, and she said, "Now is your time, your brother is washing his hands." I ran out at the door with the leather bag and money, and went to Mr. and Mrs. Downey's house, in St. Dunstan's-place, Ratcliff, when Manning came to me and said, "They are all looking after you ; they don't know I have come here, so you are quite safe." About half an hour afterwards Wildsmith joined us, and was much pleased that I had stolen the money, and said you have done it cleverly. The,. girl then went into a lengthened statement of the proceedings at the house of the Downeys' in St. Dunstan's-place, the purchases made by her and Wildsmith, their trip to Liverpool by the mail train, the payment of their passage money, and their embarkation on board the North America, where they were taken into custody by John Scott, the Liverpool detective, and brought to London. She denied having given Manning more than ss. The £l2 10s. in gold must have been given to Man ning by Wildsmith. Mr. Yardley said it was his duty to commit both prisoners for trial. Mr. Young—Will you take bail for the prisoner Wildsmith ? Mr. Yardley—No. Mr. Stoddart—l am instructed to renew the application, I made yesterday, and successfully, to accept of bail for Perkins, and allow her to go with her mother. Mr. Yardley—Yes. I will take bail for her appearance at the sessions, herself in £lOO, and two sureties of £5O each. The bail was tendered and accepted. COUNTRY MARKETS. LEICESTER SEPT. 22.
