THE SUN, LONDON, THURSPA EVENIN kILWAY INTELLIGENCE. AUSTRALIAN LINES. Prob ably not one of the least interesting developments comae eed with the catholic character of railway,, now ifying ins&lves —i;h the life and labour of almost every tribe end t,irrit, ,, ry, is their present more particular -extension into those important colonial cornin ti where a British tenet try proclaims the presence as se o nce f British rule, and where of her railways, her flag, it m a y soon con sistently be said thesa-swweere tee sym bols of a so vere i g nty on which the sun never sets. The interests of the mother country in her transmarme do minions are by means such as these,and cemented. It more so than he any others, to be mul,tiplipd perhaps is certainly a bold and novel effort upon the part of that great continent whose centre is the South Pacific, Aus tralia, that of taking upon herself, sit-tele-handed, as it -were, and thus early in the annals of her constitution and commerce, the construction of a railway system, and at a period when she can scarcely be said to have arrived at those years of discretion and majority in the scale of colonisation and improvement that characterise the. condition of elder dependencies, her interior being as yet comparatively unvisited bi the foot of Europeans, and her recesses unexpinrea by the miselons of modern discovery. For these rra sons, Ausaralia may at present be considered altogether unripe for the introduction of a trunk line system. To work well for her the railway system must go de point en point, plying its way in short lengths between the principal points of produce, linking together her leading loci ales and more important neighbour settlements, without contemplating, at any rate for the present, those loge treats and stretches of rail that would involve a hundred mile range at a time, with only two termini for traffic, the intervening distance being one of sterility and stint, unitayed by the touch of culture, and strange alike to the foot of white man and red. Carried out under an, econemy of this kind, the lines already projected to con nect Paramatta with Sydney, and its fine natural basin of water, and the latter with Botany Bay and Bathurst, the point for military transmissions along the boundary of the Blue Mountains, and connecting with the chain paign country beyond, may prove of speedy and positive utility, in connexion with proposed routes between New Holland, Adelaide, and Melbourne. The convict labour of the great penal colony, set in operation by British and ' local capital combined, may here find a field for useful occupation, so as to bring into more active play her mineral and manufacturing resources. Two subjects at the present moment appear to be agi tating, in a more than ordinary manner, the people of Australia—the one in relation to resistance to an at tempt at imposing royalty impositions upon the produce of her mining industry, and the other with reference to railways. On the latter we learn, by the latest accounts, that a meeting of those favourable to the construction of railways in New South Wales, consisting of the citizens and colonists, took place in Sydney, at which the mayor made known to the meeting that he was most favourable to the formation of railways from the city to every part of the colony where such undertakings were practicable. Mr. James Macarthur, of Camden, who was called to the chair, appears to have been of opinion that there could not be two opinions as to the importance of the subject which the meeting had been called together to ' consider ; and a general opinion of the practicability and probable remuneration of well-devised lines of railroads in New South Wales seemed to pervade the meeting, -which was marked throughout by great solidity of argu ment, prudence, and principle, as well as by most indus trious research, relevant information, and sagacity. The general impression seemed to be that the con struction of railroads in the elder colony must be mainly effected by the application of British capital, and en tirely through the instrumentality of imported labour; whilst in estimating the probable income upon the amount invested, the present cost of carriage might fairly be taken, giving to the settlers, as their immediate advantages, economy of time, and safety of conveyance ; whilst prospectively, they might expect to participate fairly in reduction of charges and those collateral ad vantages which would quickly result from increased traffic and the rapid progress of internal improvements necessarily consequent upon:increase of population and general productiveness. The meeting was addressed at considerable length by the Chairman, by Dr. Nicholson, M.L.C.; Mr. Earl, brother of Mr. George Windsor Earl, Mr. W. C. Wert worth, M.LC., Captain M. C. O'Connell, M.C., Mr. McDonald, of Pit: Town, Mr. G. C. Turner, Mr. H. G. Smith, Mr. Campbell Brown, and Mr. Raymond, post master-general of the colony; and although there was much unanimity as to the general principle, the differ ences in the (mentally) proposed modes of carrying it out may be inferred from the various shades of avowed opinions as to the cost per mile, which varied from 6,0001. (as broached by Mr. Earl) down to 600/., which Mr. M'Donald, who had inspected several railroads in the mother country, declared to be sufficient for the Hunter River district, the claims of which he advocated. Mr. Macarthur was of opinion that railways should be primarily formed from the capital to various parts of the county of Cumberland, because every sort of pro duce, and to any extent, would then find a speedy and profitable market in Sydney, which would thus become One of the cheapest and " most luxurious cities for living in upon the face of the earth," to which invalids from India and retired capitalists from England would be take themselves for temporary or conclusive sojourn through the short passages which would soon be pro vided for them. Mr. Macarthur admitted also that certain portions of the Hupter itiver district possessed advantages no where to be exceeded for the formation of rail ways. Dr. Nicholson confessed himself a comparatively re cent convert to the railway system as applicable to New South Wales, and luminously c ,mpared and contrasted the dense].) -peopled main lines of England with those American undertakings which claimed a priority in point of time, although designed for the uses of a scat tered population, and by no means possessed of the ad vantages of New South Wales, f 1- which, he said, capital to any extent would be forthcoming. He added, railroa is had paid well in England ; take, for instance, the London and Birmingham, and the Great Western. The direc tors had been compelled from time to time to reduce their charges--had made extravagant improvements on the lines and at their various stations, in order to keep the profit to be divided within the amount allowed by the Act of Parliament, and to evade the alt erna ti ve - : for by the Act of Parliament it was provided that the profit to the shareholders should not be more than 10 per cent. on their capital outlaid ; and any surplus return over that 10 per cent. was to be paid to the Consolidated Fund of Great Britain. These were principal lines, it was true ; but the establishment of branch lines in Eng land, where population was thinnest, and traffic least, had conduced to the increase of both, and districts un known and neglected had risen into importance. The railroads of the United States, too, had paid well, although carried out in the face of difficulties greater than any which presented themselves in New South Wales, and had conduced to the rapid development of thelnatural resources of the country. Dr. Nicholson, in advocating the formation of a rail way from Sydney to Goulburn, a distance of 115 to 120 miles, at a presumed expense of 700,000/. to 800,0001., went into the probable sources of income, seriatim, and according to his showing there would be a gross return of 100,0001., from which taking 40.000/. for current ex penses, there would remain 60,0001. for the payment of dividends, a more than sufficient sum even at the outset, if', as stated by another speaker, a well assured dividend of 61- percent, would be sufficient inducement for British capitalists. The Maitland Mercury of February, in an article full of acumen and inference, attempts to disprove Dr. Ni cholson's calculations, and arrives at the conclusion that instead of the shareholders receiving six per cent. upon the capital invested, they would be extremely fortunate to escape getting involved in debt to pay the expenses of working the railway. The Port Philip Herald, of February 17th, says " the inconsistency" of the English capitalist who invests in the undertakings of foreign states, whilst he withholds from English colonies, is only reconcilable with the sup position that the policy of the colonial government is vacillating, weak through the want of comprehensive information, unwise through immature plans and crude decisions. " These notions," continues the Port Philip Herald, " and their causes (if such they be) have, however, just experienced the first assault." The railway system—the money power, armed with axe and spade, has entered the field, and will soon extirpate these unsound prejudices and reform these old abuses. England has laid out some 40 millions in making railways in foreign countries before she has bethought her that these countries might go to war and estreat these loans, and that the railways which will benefit foreign countries would benefit and be profitable in her colonies—portions of her own empire and governed by her own laws. The first advances have actually been made for a large company at Hoine by an agent now in Sydney; and the Colonial Executive in Downing -street has signified its sanction and support, to the extent of even supplying on terms of advantage to the colony, the requisite amount of convict labour. There is probably no country so well adapted for rail ways as this, and where they could be so cheaply and readily made. As was truly observed by the Rev. Dr. Lang when he first broached the subject, an immense amount of labour now consumed in such avocations as bullock-driving would be turned to a profitable account; and besides this, the distances of the interior districts would be diminshed, and the line of railway would be equivalent to a line of coast. We do not suppose that the expensive iron railway system of England, with its rapid velocity of traffic, will for many years pay in New South Wales; but we are convinced that the old wooden railways, such as were in use since the middle of the seventeenth century (as de scribed in the life of Lord Keeper North) in the New castle collieries would answer admirably. As extensive undertakings of this nature could not be executed without an amount of labour with which we are totally unprovided, we see no objection to the employ ment of convicts upon such work. It is a labour that would not be preferred by freemen to rural employments, and a labour in which convicts could be striallyrdisci plined and controlled. Above all, it is woilfi-iti which they could be readily separated from the least communi cation with the rest of the population, and finally with drawn altogether from our shores on the completion of their allotted periods. Thus tho Government of Van Dieman's Land would ee relieved from a large measure of expense , the capita sts at home would be encouraged by the recognised , stronage of Government, a o ne t tla d eople of New South Vales would reap as many f the ill results of the transportation system and as few ble to devise ; whilst the men themssesltevems " wo i u t ld is be i s ; —LACKHEATH CATTLE AND PM F. position to be punished with rigour, or for good con- Monday, being Old Michaelmas Day, act usual custom the autumnal cattle and pig fat... act encouraged to reformation.

" The Government have before them the - varistts prin ciples which have been tried or adopted in every other part of the globe, which is an advantage over England itself, as well as in availing unnecessary expenditure on superfluous erroneous lines. " The council will see that the stfoject is of such im portance as to command its earliest and eunes‘ at tention. "It is for this reason I prrinme to offer a few remarks, more with the view of Ind:acing competent and influential persons to reflect on the subject in all its vital influences, than that my suggest A o ut may be of any value in them selves.

" The former should determine the many trunk lines for the whole colony, decide on the principle on which the British capitalists should be allowed their Act, and adjust the terms with a due regard to the present in terest of all parties, and the future good of the colony. I have the fullest confidence that these grand leading points will be soundly dealt with by the investigating mind of the Colonial Secretary." The intended railways in South Africa and South Australia were spoken of at the meeting as having com menced; but we are free to admit that if South Australia loses the honour of being the first in the field of railway improvements in Australasia, we are likely to derive very great advantages from the sage consultations and ju dicious preparations of our elder colonial brethren. A provisional committee was appointed at the Sydney meeting. ANTI-SLAVERY LEAGUE, MAN- y E . S_T L E a If i . MANCHESTER, TIMED evening a very nume rous and highly respectable meeting was held in the Free trade Hall, Peter-street, by the ft lends of the Anti- Slavery League. The hall was crowded in every part by a respectable and attentive audience. On the plat form were many of the members of the Society of Friends and other highly respectr.ble inhabitants. The chair was occupied by J. Shuttleworth, Esq , who briefly addressed the meeting, and then introduced Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON, who was received with loud and repeated cheers. He commenced by referring to the late meetings of the Evangelical Alliance party, and ex pressed his conviction that the proceedings of that party were clearly calculated to corrupt the mind of the British public in reference to the question of slavery.—(Cheers.) He was prepared to prove on that, or any other plat form, that the whole proceedings of that body were clearly calculated to corrupt the minds of the people on the question of slavery.—(Chen . s.) He next referred to the imputations cast upon them by Dr. Cox, at Liver pool. The man whom the D lctor had condemned had a character equal to that of Dr. Cox, even before he had given himself to the slave-owners.—(Cheers.) He next referred to Frederick Douglas, whom he designated as a runaway slave. Mr. Thompson then referred to the strangers who were to address them, and bespoke for them an indulgent hearing from a Manchester audience. Mr. H. C. WRIGHT, of Philadelphia, said that the question of slavery was one not of America or of Eng land, but for all mankind. They were not there that night to diseusss slavery. That question had been long settled. They were there to denounce sllve-owners, and all their apologists, whether they be Armenians, Presby terians, or members of the Free Church of Scotland.— (Cheers.) In reference to some statements made at a late meeting of the Evargelical Alliance, in that same place by Dr. Leafchild, he showed that the General As sembly of the Presbyterian Church in America, of which Dr. Leafchild sat as moderator, no fewer than 40 of whom were man stratus, not sheep nor horse stratus, but what was much worse than either, man stratus.— After referring to the conduct of Dr. Cox in his election as a delegate to the Alliance meetings in England, and denouncing his conduct in reference to the question of slavery, Mr. Wright proceeded to condemn the conduct of the ruling authorities of the Methodists Society in America, and strongly censured the conduct of all of them, some of whom be named. He denounced them as a band of hanged pickpockets, as well as hypocrites— the whole body of slave-owners, from President Polk down to the doctor of divinity,whohold slaves as thieves, and no consideration should induce him to spare them on every opportunity.—(Cheers.) They had been held up as infidels, socialists, &c. His hopes were on the truth and sanctity of Christianity ; but he was and would be an infidel to that church which upheld slave owners.—(Cheers.) Mr. A. PRENTICE entered into a defence of the Evan gelical Alliance party. It seemed to him that the only fault which they had committed was, in believing the professions of the American delegates to the Alliance meetings in England. Mr. G. TuomPsoN begged, before their American friends addressed them, to show that they were quite right in denouncing the conduct of the Alliance party. Dr. Cox had sat and listened as moderator to twenty speeches without rebuking one of those sentiments which were in favour of slavery. In fact, a distinct proposition was brought before the meeting, and after five days' discussion, decided that slaveholders were eli gible to become members of the "Evangelical Alliance" Assembly. Dr. Smyth, himself an Irishman, had been refused admission to the Irish Presbyterian Conference, purely on the ground of his well-known opinions against slavery and slave-owners. Mr. Thompson then detailed the proceedings of the Conference and the various com mittees, and read the protest made by thirty-two Ameri• can members of the Conference against the introduction of the question of slavery at that Conference; and after detailing tho proceedings of the Conference and of the chief members of that body, concluded by saying that the difference between William Lloyd Garrison and those men was, that they were for a fixed duty—he and his friend Garrison were for immediate and total repeal. That was the best way in which he could explain his meaning in that spot.--(Cheers.) Mr. PRENTicEthen came forward and defended the Evangelical Alliance amidst some confusion, occasioned by the , rs from one party and laughter and interruption from another party in the meeting. Mr. THOMP.iON again came forward, and demanded whether or not Mr. Prentice had denied any one of the facts he had stated.—(Cheers, and cries of " No, no.") Mr. GARRISON, of Aineica, was then introduced by the Chairman. After referring to the fact of his being an American, he proceeded to review the state of the question of slavery, and the condition of the slave. Three millions of their fellow-men were at that hour in a stare of slavery in the United States. He next read a manber of advertisements of runaway slaves, many of which described brandings, burnings, and mutilations, wh;.ch shocked the meeting by the atrocity of their cha racter. He also detailed a number of facts illustrative of the system of slavery and the conduct of the autho rities in America in reference to slaves. His country, he was grieved to say, was essentially unchristian in refer ence to that great question of slavery, and referred to the fact that the poor slaves who run away do not think of stopping even in Boston, but most likely beg a pittance to carry them, not to a town or province in the states, but to Canada, where the Rug of old England waves, and where no slaves can exit.—(Loud ch,ers.) He next referred to the change which seemed to be going on in this country in rei'erence to slavery. That was his third visit to this country, and he was power fully impressed with the fact, that while America was hemming abolitionist, England was becoming favourable to slavery. That fact WAS proved by the proceedings of the Evangelical Alliance, as had been shown there; and although the Free Church of Scotland hail given their support ti the slave-owners, yet the people of Scotland were not and would not give any support or countenance to slavery. England also, he trusted, would hold fast to the cause until neither slave-owner nor slave ex isted.—(Cheers.) The speaker then referred to an article in the Christian Witness, in which he was attacked, which he denounced as untrue. Mr. TuomrsoN proposed a resolution condemnatory of the Evangelical Alliance. Mr. PRENTICE suggested, that if the resolution was simply to cont . :emu slavery, it would be carried unani mously. Mr:TnomPsoN said the time to do so was gone by. The Alliance had refused, after five days' discussion, to pass such a resolution. He should like to know if Mr. Prentice had the courage to propose an amendment? Mr. PRENTICE then moved an amendment, condemna tory of slave-holding under all circumstances. Mr. FREDERICK Douci.as then rose to speak, and ad dressed the meeting sitngreat length. He declared that the battle of slavery had to be fought on British soil, not with the low and degraded—not with the socialists—not with the infidels, but with the Evangelical Alliance and clergymen. He knew something of slavery. He could show the marks of it about him. He had two sisters and one brother at that moment in slavery. He had been owned by a clergyman of the Methodist persua sion, whom he named, and instanced a number of cases illustrative of the system of preaching to slaves, which, from their gross hypocrisy, &c., created much lau g ht er from the rich humour with which he delivered them. He read extracts from two sermons recently published in America, by a bishop, in which the slave-owners were designated as " God's overseers."--(Loud cries of " Shame," " Scandalous.") He next entered into an examination of the conduct of the Evangelical Alli ance. lie hoped that the vote of the meeting would be unanimous. The man stratus did not steal slaves would a b n l a d c kth the steal m a man nF w rw o e u dh l eo d r we s k t e o u a DI l do au notg l white i c t because th e y were bl ack. The man who would steal a s o e would nd m e a m n n . steal the T h t h l e r . n w ti c h oe o f, stealing manPre Frederick Douglas would not condemn the stealing of Mr. Prentice.—(Cheers.) The slaves of America were denied the use of the Bible by the law, and in some cases at death. After an eloquent and powerful speech Mr. Douglas concluded by impl or i ng t h e meeting to pass ' the resolution unanimously. Another man of colour then came forward, and ad dressed the meeting at some length, and with great effect. The CHAIRMAN afterwards proceeded to take the vote when it appeared that Mr. Prentice's amendment was , not seconded. The original motion was then put and carried unani• mously, amidst loud cheers. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated at twelve o'clock. THE PENINSULAR and ORIENTAL COMPANY'S STEAM-SHIP POTTINGER. The public will be gratified to hear of the excellent performances of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's new steam-ship the Pottinger, in her first trip from Southampton to Malta. Previously to leaving Southampton all sorts of reports were in circulation as to her inefficiency, but so far her performances have given them the most decided contra diction, as the following extract of a letter from a gen tleman on board, dated Malta, Oct. 2, will show : " I am sure you will be pleased to hear of our arrival at Malta, after a very rough passage, in which both ship and engines have been well tried, and have been found most efficient. The ship is strong, and not in the least inclined to strain ; the en gines are a beautiful specimen of mechanical skill. I have watched their smooth working narrowly, and there have been neither hot bearings, escapes of steam, derangements or breakings of any kind, which to me, from my little experience in steam voyages, is rather sur prising. I particularly remarked whilst off Cape St. Vincent, blowing at the time a smart gale, that the en gines made 15 strokes per minute, with abundance of steam, and the bearings as cool as if the machinery was not in motion. I have no doubt the future performances of ship and engines will be as satisfactory, as all on board admit the passage under the above circumstances has been." The engines on board the Pottinger are by Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., of Glass-house-fields. They are the largest oscillating engines that ever have been in motion afloat. The engines of the Spanish man-of-war steamer, " Blasco Garay," manufactured by the above firm, were previously the largest, being of 350-horse power, or with cylinders 68 inches in diameter and six feet stroke ; but the engines of the Pottinger are of 450-horse power, or having cylinders 76 inches in diameter, and seven feet stroke. 'Miller and Co. have also in hand a third pair of those 'powerful engines on the oscillating principle, for the Peninsular and Oriental Company, who have ordered from them two other pairs of engines of the above de scription, each of 400-horse power, for their new packets. The Animal's Friend Society, of 18, Strand, last Wednesday caused Charles James to be fined in costs at the Lambeth Court for having cruelly beaten an ass on a sore. ARMY AND NAVY OF MEXICO. The following is an extract from Mr. Macgregor's volume (just issued by order of Parliament, having been recently presented by command of her Majesty) on the States of Mexico. From the present condition of and proceedings in that country, the subjoined observations and statements are of interest : The will of the army has actually formed what may be termed the only public opinion in Mexico ; for the military commander who has been the most fortunate I in obtaining the control over a major part of the army, has been the most successful in carrying out a pronuncia mento, and in overturning the Government of the day. The constitution or formation of this army is described by all authorities, and especially by the late American Minister, Mr. Thompson, in no favourable character. This army has, to a great degree, been formed and is recruited by sending forth armed detachments into the mountains and wilds to capture aborigines. These are actually brought in chains to some military head quarters. Mr. Thompson says : " Droves of miserable and more than half-naked wretches are seen chained together and marching through the streets to the barracks, where they are scoured and then dressed in a uniform made of linen cloth or of serge, and are occasionally drilled ; which drilling consists mainly in teaching them to march in colts= through the streets. Their military bands are good, and the men learn to march indifferently well— but only indifferently well—they put their feet down as if they were feeling for the place, an d d o not step w i t h that jaunty, erect, and graceful air which is so beautiful in well-drilled troops. As to the wheelings in well trained troops, like the opening and shutting of a gate, or the prompt and exact execution of other evolutions, they know nothing about them. There is not one in tan of these soldiers who has ever seen a gun, nor one in a hundred who has ever fired one before he was brought into the barracks. It i s i n t hi s way that are generally fill e d up ; i n army the prisons ar e th rown open, prisoners th an th e army particulart w h h e i e h ranksalways emergencies of t c h o e n t ai contain more numbers, and these felons become soldiers, and some of them officers. Their arms, too, are generally worthless English muskets, which have been con demned and thrown aside, and are purchased for almost nothing and sold to the Mexican Government. Their powder, too, is equally bad ; in the last battle be tween Santa Anna and Bustamente, which lasted the whole day, not one cannon ball in a thousand reached the enemy—they generally fell about half-way between the opposing armies. I do not think that the Mexi cans are deficient in courage ; or it might be more pro perly said, that they are indifferent to danger or the pre servation of a life which is really so worthless to the most of them. But with the disadvantages to which I have adverted, the reader will not be surprised that in all the conflicts with our people, in which they have been more or less engaged for the last 30 years, they have always been defeated." A Mexican officer, in admitting that cavalry alone were not able to break a well-formed square of infantry, as serted that in this respect the Mexican cavalry had in this the advantage over all others ; that the cavalry armed with lassoes rode up and threw them over the men forming the squares, and pulled them out, and thus made the breach. "The Mexican army," says Mr. Thompson, "and more particularly their cavalry, may do very well to fight each other, but in any conflict with our own or European troops, it would not be a battle but a massacre. What then must be the murderous inequality between a corps of American cavalry and an equal number of Mexicans? The American corps, from the superior size of their horses, would cover twice as much ground, and the obstruction offered by the Mexicans on their small and scrawny ponies would scareely cause their horses to stumble in riding over them; to say nothing of the greater inequality of the men themselves, five to one at least in individual combats, and more than twice that in a battle. The infantry would be found even more impotent." Mr. Thompson observes that there are in Mexico " more than two hundred Generals, most of them with out commands. Every officer who commands a regiment has the title of General, and is distinguished from Gene rals who have no commands by the addition of ' Gene ral effectivo.' The rate of pay is not very different from that of our own army. Each officer and soldier, how ever, is his own commissary, no rations being issued ; and they are well satisfied if they receive enough of their pay to procure their scanty rations, which was very rarely the case, except with Santa Anna's favourite troops, whom he always kept about his person, and this made it their interest to sustain him. In one of the last conversations which I had with him, I told him that the army would remain faithful to him just so long as he could pay them, and no longer, and that I did not see how it was possible for him to pay them much longer. " The result proved the truth of both predictions. and that, I have no doubt, was the cause of the revolution which overthrew him. Shortly before I left Mexico, an officer in the army came to the city and settled his ac counts with the war department, and received a certifi cate that 1,500 dollars were clue to him ; after hawking it about amongst the brokers, he sold the claim for 125 dollars, which was fire cents. on the dollar." He considers that the Mexican men (Indians in parti cular) have no more physical strength than the women of the United States. They are of diminutive stature, unaccustomed to exercise or labour. Marauding bands of Comanches penetrate several hundred miles into Mexico, levy black mail, carry off horses, catttle, and captives. Ho says that there are not at this time (184 G) less than five thousand Mexicans, slaves of the Co manches, and of all our western tribes arc the most cowardly. The Delawares frequently whip them live to one. " That which is in all respects the greatest nuisance an 1 the most insuperable barrier to the prosperity of Mexico is the army. They will tell you there that it amounts to fifty thousand men, but they have never had half the number. I have no doubt that the accounts at the department of war exhibit nearly the number stated, but a large proportion of them are men of straw—ficti tious names fraudulently inserted for the benefit of the officers who pay them. They are paid every day, or rather that is the law, but the pay is just as fictitious as the muster rolls." Mr. Branta Mayer gives the following statement of the army of Mexico:— " I may state that the forces have been considerably augmented, and in all probability amount to 40,000 men. In 1840 the Mexico army was composed of—Fourteen generals of division; twenty-six generals of brigade. Artillery—Three brigades on foot, one brigade mounted, five separate companies. Engineer corps —One director general, three colonels, six lieutenant-colonels, one ad jutant, fourteen captains, sixteen lieutenants, ten sub lieutenants. Sappers—One battalion. Plana Mayer del Ejercito—This was composed of the general-in-chief and a number of colonels, lieutenant-colonels, cap tains, &c., &c. Permanent Infantry —Eight regi ments of two battalions each, each battalion of eight companies, each company of 112 men, officers, included, or in all 14,336 persons. Active Infantry— Nine regiments. This body differs from the preceding, or permanent infantry, in being liable to service only when required by Government • or, in othe r wor d s , it is a sort of national militia, well drilled. T o t a l num b er 16 l2B composed .Pernlan oentf Cavalry —E ight regiments, e ac h regiment squadrons, each squadron of two companies. Each regiment composed in all of 676 men ; or the eight, of 4,056. Thirty-five separate com panies in various places throughout the republic. Active Cavalry—Six regiments of four squadrons, each squadron of two companies. Navy—The navy of Mexico consists at present of three steam-frigates, two brigs three sc h ooner s. and two gunboats." , population of Matamo ros sleep cow t-yards and u p on th e A NIGHT IN MATAMORO S. At tops of houses, a majority of which h ave fl at roofs. When the hour for retiring arrives, whi c h i s generally speaking much earlier than in the larg e c i t i es o f the in least the two-thirds open air r in of th th e e United States, they pull their cots out into the court yard, (every house of any size here has a large yard in the rear), and two or three dozen, male and female, sleep in one inclosure. Those who have not cots or the means of procuring them, make a very comfortable bed upon the bricks—with which most of those yards are paved. The great majority of the Mexicans rise early, frequently before the sun, but they sleep again in the evening, from three until about half-past five o'clock. In fact, they are as regular in their siesta as you are in your dinner, and when returning from my dinner, there are seven or eight houses the front rooms of which are strewed with cots (bedsteads are used only as ornaments here) upon which senor, senora, senoritas, and all the little oral are napping off at a beautiful rate. Amongst the over-particular people of your country, a lady would no more think of sleeping in a room fronting a thorough fare with 'the window blinds open, than she would of flying. But here, bless you, they think nothing of it. Why here, a young senorita will come to the window, and converse with a gentleman of her acquaintance with nothing on but a chemise, and think no more of it than a Camp -street gentleman would do of going into a house with his coat off. I can relate to you a little inci dent that occurred in my presence, and in which I figured somewhat, to show you how little hold affected modesty has taken with the natives: — In the court-yard of the house in whieh I occupy a room, there are from 60 to 90 persons, including the owner's family and his domestics, two other families with their domestics, with those who rent stores and rooms from him and there are very many who do that, considering that his building occupies a whole square, seven-eighth s o f whom sleep in the yard. or upon the roof of the house. Men, women, and children sleep within a few feet of each other as if they were one fa mily, and frequently they have never spoken together. A senora will pull off all her upper garments, and lay down upon her cot within six or eight feet of a gentle man, without seeming to know or care whether be is within that many miles. You must not infer from this that such are bad women, for if you do you will be fre quently wrong. It is the manner in which they have been educated, and the fault is in a lack of modesty, nothing else. One night between 11 and 12 o'clock, when all were asleep in this yard, a heavy shower of rain came on, and you never saw such a scampering as there was for the rooms. The early part of the night was remark ably warm and sultry, and an unprecedented number had gone out to seep in the open air, and some six or seven Americans had gone on the top of the roof, which they reached by a light ladder from the yard. The first few drops of rain admonished me to be up and moving, and I had just got my cot into my room, and was returning for some clothing I had dropped in my hurry, when I observed a senorita pulling away at the ladder and endeavouring to remove it. I quickly com prehended her meaning, and as quickly went to her assistance. We removed the ladder just in time to prevent a well drenched young man from descending. The others quickly came up to the edge: of the roof with the same intention, and begged us to furnish them the means of descending ; but no, we were inexorAble. OCTOBER 15, if*46 Every stitch of our own clothing was wet, and we were determined that the joke should be carried out. They begged and laughed ; others got wind of what was going on, and joined us, and a more amusing and ludicrous scene it would be impossible to picture. At length the cloud passed over, the moon broke forth, and a loud roar of laughter followed it, for there stood some half dozen fellows in their shirts and drawers ; some with a blanket under the arm, others with one over them, and one or two with a cot under the arm, doubled up so as to prevent the rain from soaking in it. With the moon• shine their good natures returned, and they heartily joined in the laugh exacted at their own expense. The next night, those who were high-minded enough to roof it, had the precaution to pull the ladder up after them.— Correspondent N. 0. Bee. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. George Smith was charged with having passed bad money. The prisoner went into a druggist's shop and asked for two pennyworths of salts. He threw down a six pence, which the shopman knew to be a counterfeit, and said so. The prisoner then said he could get it changed in a minute, and whipping it up, was walking out, when he was secured, but not before he swallowed the sixpence. The prisoner said the sixpeuce was a good one, but as he saw that people were taken up for passing good as well as bad money, he resolved to settle the question by dispsing of it. The ALDERMAN told the prisoner he run a great hazard by swallowing base metal. The prisoner seemed to think very little of the danger, and said he did not know that a small trifle of good money could do a man any harm either in his pocket or his stomach. Mr. Powell, solicitor to the Mint, raid, the prisoner had been in the habit of making dangerous experiments of the kind.—Remanded. Philip Isaacs was charged with having stolen a pair of beets. The shopman of Mr. Oliver, bootmaker, of Bishops gate-street, saw a hand slip a pair of boots from one of the shelves and disappear. Upon going into the street he saw the prisoner walking off with the prize, and tap ping him upon the shoulder, was immediately answered by the offer of the boots. The prisoner said, that a person (no doubt the fellow who committed the robbery) had thrust the boots into his hands as he passed along, and he naturally delivered them to the man who first claimed them, knowing that he was not himself the owner of them.—(A laugh.) Committed for trial. William Sessue, a native of St. John's, New Bruns wick, was charged with having begged incessantly in spite of the police. The prisoner, who is but 20 years of age, has been, as the policeman said, in the habit of appearing in the streets with the back of his person bare when the weather has been severe, and soliciting alms from some, and threatening others upon being refused assistance. It was more especially for the indecency of the exhibition that the officer made the capture of the unfortunate beggar, who, upon being apprehended, showed such pro digious strength, that four powerful men felt great diffi• culty in restraining him. The prisoner said he had been three years in London, after having been four years in Liverpool, and had done all that man could do to procure work ; and, failing to accomplish that, to get home, but not a human being would serve him. Upon being told by Alderman Kelly that he must go to Bridewell for fourteen days, he said (knowing that the fourteen days' imprisonment comprehended short commons), that he would not go for less than six months, or three months at least. Tho ALDERMAN—You shall not go for more than fourteen days. The prisoner—Then I'll do something worse than you think when I come out. I care nothing about your bolts and bars and officers. I tell you I won't go for fourteen days. Although the prisoner was a mere boy in appearance as well as in years, five policemen with muoh difficulty conveyed him to the cage, when, after tearing off his meagre clothing, he tore the seats to pieces. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO RIVAL OMNIBUS-DRIVERS.—James Sel , way, driver of one of the London Conveyance Com pany's Paddington omnibuses, was summoned for having, by furious driving, damaged one of Nelson's Eastern Counties Railway omnibuses, driven by James Smith. From the evidence it appeared there was a spirit of rivalry between the proprietors or drivers of these om nibuses. It was alleged on the part of the complainant that it was the practice of the London Conveyance om nibus-drivers to obstruct his omnibus on its journeys, and to endanger the passengers by keeping another om nibus close to the doors of his vehicle. A second omni bus was put on in front, and in this way, with one om nibus in front and one behind, he was obliged to drive through the streets, and to take up and set down his passengers in the best manner he could. On the day mentioned in the 'summons the defendant was driving the omnibus at the tail of his omnibus. Complainant stopped to set down , it lady, upon which the defendant attempted to pass him, although there was not room enough, and in this attempt he ran against the door and did damage to the extent of 40s. Witnesses corroborated the allegation of the corn. plainant that the defendant kept behind him along Ox ford street, and drove against the omnibus when it pulled up to set down a passenger. The defendant denied the rivalry. He certainly came accidentally into collision with the door of the com plainant's vehicle ; bat this was the fault of the COW - plainaut himself, who suddenly pulled up short, and made no signal to those behind him. Mr. HARDWICK said the mode in which rival omnibus proprietors conducted their competition was alike dis graceful to themselves and dangerous to the public. The drivers of rival omnibuses appeared to be wholly regard. less of the safety and accommodation of their passengers ; they were only anxious, at whatever risk, to accomplish a trifling triumph over an opponent. These were prac• tires that could not for a moment be tolerated. It had been proved in evidence that the complainant was dogged by a rival throughout Oxford-street—that his passengers were kept in a perpetual state of alarm—and that posi tive danger was produced to a lady when she attempted to alight. Here, then, was quite sufficient to warrant him in punishing the defendant with proper severity. If rivalry could not be put down, at least he would take care that it should be so conducted as not to alarm and endanger the public. If pecuniary fines were not suffi cient, he should resort to other measures. In the pre sent case he should inflict a fine of 40s. for the public offence, and 40s. for the damage ; but he begged it might go forth that in future instances he should cancel the licenses of the driver. Mary Jones, a girl about 15 years of age, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with attempting to put a period to her existence. Mary Grambler said she resided in Falconbridge court, Soho, and the prisoner resided in the same house. Yesterday afternoon she had occasion to go up stairs to a back bed-room, and was surprised to see the prisoner stretched at full length ou the bed. She went up to her and took hold of her hand to wake her up. She was alarmed at the coldness of her hand, and thought there was something wrong. On closely examining the pri soner she found that she had tied a handkerchief tightly round her neck, to endeavour to strangle herself, and had it not been for her going into the room she must have effected her purpose. Joseph Loader stated that the prisoner had been under his care ever since the death of her parents. He had endeavoured to bring her up so as to get an honest liveliho9d, but was sorry to say that she was a lazy, bad girl ; she would not keep any situation she was placed in, but would associate with low and bad girls. The prisoner, in answer to Mr. HARDWICK, said the reason she was tired of her life was that Mr. Loader beat her. Mr. HARDWICK spoke to her upon the sinfulness of the crime of suicide. She was old enough to be aware of the wickedness of such an act. The MAGISTRATE ordered an officer to take her to Mr. Norris, the priest of St. Patrick's Chapel, Sutton street, which she was in the habit of Trequ.enting, and in whose school she was educated. The prisoner, in tears, said she was very sorry for what she had done, and would promise not to do the like again, and appeared thankful for the Magistrate's kind ness. WORSHIP-STREET. Among the numerous individuals charged with being " drunk and incapable," &c., was a female of very re spectable appearance, who, it appeared, had last evening so energetically been paying her devoirs at the shrine of the rosy god, that when found by the constable in the Kingsland-road she was unable either to speak or walk, and was, therefore, conveyed by him to the station house. 1 The defendant, on being asked by the magistrate, Mr. BROUGHTON, what she had to say in defence of such con duct, replied that she had been to visit some friends of her husband, who was a superintendent of police in the country, and she could account for the state she was in, when found by the constable, only by her having been suddenly affected on her coming into the open air by an extra, glass of wino she had been induced to take previous to her departure from them. Mr. BROUGHTON discharged the defendant with an admonition. As soon, however, as she had withdrawn, some gentlemen who were present, and who appeared to know her and her family very well, after stating her name, said that she was in the possession of 3001. a year, independent of her family and her husband, who is in a large way of business in the City, and who has brought up a large family (sons and daughters of the late de• fendant) in honour and credit. The above female, it was stated, was seldom or ever to be met with in a state of sobriety. BELGIAN RAILWAYS. We extract from the Emancipation, Brussels paper, the following notice of the opening of the (1) section of the West Flanders Railways for public traffic, which took place on the 6th. This event cannot fail to be most pleasing to parties interested in Belgian railways, since this is the first section of railway opened by a private company in Belgium:— " Yesterday morning at five o'clock the first train of the West Flanders Railways left Bruges for Thourout. This train, consisting of ten carriages filled with passen gers, performed the distance, 12 miles, in 38 minutes, the ordinary speed at which the trains run on the State lines. Not the slightest shock orjerk was felt during the whole distance, which was most surprising on a road so recently constructed and opened. "The management and mode of conducting the traffic appear to be much better than on the State lines ; more particularly with reference to the. system of tickets, which is far superior. We also noticed that on the ar rival or departure of a train at a station no concussion of carriages was felt, which is the case to a great extent upon all other Belgian railways. " The number of passengers in the train from Thou rout was greater than that from Bruges. The two in termediate stations, Lophem and Zedelghem, also fur nished many passengers." Thus has been opened for public traffic, the first sec tion of a line which, when completed to Courtrai, (and this will be the case about February next), will shorten the road to France by eight leagues (24 miles). THE BRITISH SURVEYING SQUADRON. (From the Sydney Morning Herald.) The approaching departure of her Majesty's ship Fly from the colony, on her return to England from the arduous voyage on which, with her Majesty's schooner Bramble, she has been employed, induces us to give our readers a brief sketch of her services, in order to impart to them some idea of the benefits that have been conferred upon the commercial interests of the colony by Captain Blackwood and the officers under his com mand. The " outer route," through Torres' Straits, as it is generally called, which has been of late years so ge nerally followed by vessels bound to India, has hitherto been but imperfectly known, and only could be con sidered safe for those ships whose commanders had already passed that way. The rough, and little more than eye-sketched plans of different passages through the Barrier Reef, which were procurable previously to the Fly's voyage, were sufficient to lead a stranger into danger, but not to extricate him from it; and many have been the melancholy and distressing losses of fine sh4is in consequence. During the last year, even with the advantage of Captain Blackwood's chart, the loss of the Hyderabad, with a valuable cargo of horses for the East India Comp lily's service, which, by missing the beacon on Raine's Island, was thrown to leeward, and was obliged to run through the first opening that offered, in doing which she struck on a rock and sank almost in stantaneously, in deep water, is a proof, were one want ing, of the difficulties of these passages ; and fully shows, when under circumstances of unfavourable weather, or an error in the reckoning, the passage intended to be taken is passed by, or cannot be recognised, and it be comes necessary to dash at the first opening, and lives of all on board aro jeoparded. Secondary to this, but not less important, is the de tailql survey of the channel round Darnley Island, between it and the coast of New Guinea—a route, although to the northward, far preferable to any en trance through the Barrier, inasmuch as the passage will not be lengthened more than twenty-four hours, and is mauy miles in width, and quite free, from difficulty or danger of any kind. It is evidently the principal passage through Torres' Straits. One of the chief objects of Captain Blackwood's in structions was to erect a beacon in a convenient spot to direct ships to the hest channel through the reef—and this has been most effectually performed. The passages generally used to lie in the neighbourhood of that part of the Barrier situated to the north of 12 dog. south. In the lat of 12 deg. 21 min. the Ferguson, with a detach ment of the 50th regiment, was wrecked ; and in 12 deg. 11 min. the wreck of the Martha Ridgway serves to point out the entrance round the Black Rock, in 12 deg. 12 min.—a favourite passage, and perhaps the best among the bad. It is not known to us whether any ship has been lost in this passage ; but if not, chance has carried them clear of a very dangerous sunken patch, having only ten feet upon it, in the direct track of the course. Here there was no possibility of erecting any mark, as heavy breakers lashed over the reef, and there is no rock or island where a party could be landed. To the north of this there are several openings in the reef, such as Nimrod's Entrance, 12 deg. 5 min. 30 sec., about a quarter of a mile wide ; and Head's Passage, considered a safe one by Captain Black wood, in 11 deg. 55 min., but equally cozetracted. No beacons could be erected at any of them ; but in Raine's Island, in 11 deg. 36 min., every fa cility was afforded, and the beacon was constructed, and serves to point out the safest and best pass! ge that exists ; and according to the direction given by Captain Blackwood, there will be no difficulty in making it. During the progress of building the beacon, the Fly and Bramble were employed in exploring the relative situations and extent of all the reefs between Raine's Island and the coast, as well as the exact posi tions of the more southern entrances above noticed ; so that through whatever ;passage a ship may enter, the chart will be found most useful in leading her clear of all danger to a safe anchorage. A chart of this part, showing the whole detail of the Barrier Reef, and of the new passage roared :Darnley Island, and embracing the track to Booby Island, has been put into the hands of the engraver, at the expense of the Colonial Government, and will be completed before the ensuing season, by the use of vellie_th ships bound to India may proceed on the voyage wit h confi dence. In thus leaving for immediate use the moist i mportant result of this voyage, Captain Blackwood is el ititled to the thanks of the colonists, inasmuch as no sus%) tl portion of the eclat of his labours will be lost in Engl an d by the previous publication of his work in the ethos , y. The Admiralty will doubtless republish it in E.agl and, and probably with improvements, but in the m ear tame the public will reap the advantage of an early poss‘ . :ssion of the information it conveys. A more particular description of this part`, of the voyage would be out of place here; nor indeed it ; it at all necessary, because the chart in itself will be a descrip tion which those who consult it will perfectly understand and be satisfied:with; but it is due to those v ,ho have rendered this service to be assured that their lei iours are valued and duly appreciated by those who ; trt 3 capable of judging of the vast importance of this sum , / ey to the large and rapidly extending commercial int( ire curse be tween the Australian colonies and India. Although the principal object of Captain Ills tckwood's voyage was confined to the Great Barrie r, yet there was another of less immediate importance at tar , hed to his instructions—namely, the exploration of tilt 3 coast of New Guinea—the one, of labour and lute ass e anxiety; the other, full of interest and novelty—in ft set , the cream of the voyage. The time, however, expend( ; slupon the survey of the Barrier, the progress ot: • which was materially interfered with by the erocti on of the beacon, precluded anything being done t here until the last few weeks of the last voyage; but suffi cient was seen of its coast and inhabitants to cause the greatest regret on leaving it. T he portion of country explored, which embraced abou t 50 or 60 miles to the west of the meridian of 145 degrees east, was formed by a low coast, intersected by nus nerous in lets running many miles into the country, an d forming, as was supposed, the deltoid embouchures of sa consider able river or inlet of the sea ; its shores wer e densely populated, villages of considerable size beir ig passed at intervals of every two or three miles, at sor of , of which they landed, and were enabled to look abou t them ; but at some they were prevented, and their 3 .ntercourse fiercely opposed. There were no signs of any previous into tc.ourse with white .people, and they were evidently ign wa.nt of the effect of fire-arms, but they possessed so n e of the re finements of a civilised life, which shows d that they were a people of superior intelligence to the generality of savages, particularly to their neighbors rs of New Holland. Lieut. Yule, of her Majesty's schooner Bra mble, with the Castlereagh as her tender, under Mr. Aix d, remains to carry on the survey of the outlying reefs, and of the coast of New Guinea. This important servi() a could not be left in better hands. .—....—___ B. tn. On lording to r was held oining the ; so many i. In the fine young rseflesh ap . but tkose ronz 301. to SOUTHWARK. William Ford, an engineer, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Secker, charged with endeavouring to force his way into the Victoria Theatre, and assaulting Mur ray, the officer. The latter stated that about 9 o'clock on Tuesday even ingithe prisoner came into the box entrance, and tried to force his way up the staircase. When asked for his money, he knocked the check-taker down, and had ascended to the top of the stairs when he (witness) met him. The prisoner endeavoured to serve him in the same way as he had done the cheek-taker, but he w as too powerful for hi m; an d a f ter considerable difficulty he held him until the arrival of other constables, who carried him to the station-house. The prisoner, who stated that he was much intoxi cated at the time, was fined 105., or seven days' impri sonment. THAMES. Isaac Chapman, a mulatto, Daniel Bennett, and Thomas Morris were brought up on remand, charged with being concerned in plundering Mr. Tessin, of the Anchor and Hope Tavern, East Smithfield, of wine, to an extent which, from the largeness of his stock, he could not possibly calculate, but, from the admission of one of the parties, the depredation must have been of a wholesale character, as the wine was taken away in dozens. It appeared the fellows contrived to carry out their system of plunder by taking up a plank in the tap room, which is just over the cellar, and by that means obtained unrestricted access. Chapman and Bennett were again remanded, but the other prisoner was set at large, as it is expected he will give imrortant testimony, which will lead to the apprehension of the principal offender, who is not yet in custody. ATROCIOUS CRUELTY. TONBRIDGE, KENT.—Yesterday Henry Jenkins, a carman in the employ of a carrier named Barrett, resid ing at Tonbridge Wells, appeared before the bench to answer the complaint of Mr. Thomas, the secretary of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, which charged him with wantonly aid cruelly beating a horse. 1-tr. Thomas stated the case to the bench, and called Mary Fielder, who said that on the 30th of September last she was in her house on Southborough-common, when, hearing the sound of heavy blows, she looked towards the road, when she saw the defendant standing by a waggon and two horses, beating the shaft horse about the fore and hind legs with a piece of iron called a " ridger," and used as part of the cart saddle. The defendant beat the horse repeatedly and so shamefully, that she ran into Mr. Draper's, a neighbour, and begged of him to interfere to prevent the infliction of further brutality. She then returned to her house and saw some person give the defendant a quantity of straw ; he placed it under the hind legs of the horse and lighted it with a lucifer match, the straw blazed up and the horse kicked and endeavoured to get away from the flames. '1 he animals appeared unable to draw the load. Witness turned away from the sight as it made her quite ill. Cross-examined by the defendant—l saw you light the lucifer and set the straw on fire. William Draper was then called, and he stated that he lets carriages for hire, and lives next door to Mrs. Fielder, on Southborough-common. On the 30th of September Mrs. Fielder ran into his house and begged him to interfere and prevent the defendant from ill treating a horse. Witness got up, and saw the defen dant beating a horse in the shafts of a waggon very cruelly with an iron " ridger." Witness did not go out, but sat down to his breakfast, when his son said they were setting the horse alight. He then went out and saw a fire underneath the horse's belly, close to the hind legs. Witness advised the defendant to get another horse; he did so, and they drew the load up the hill without difficulty. Mr. Thomas—Did you examine the horse? Witness —I did, sir. Mr. Thomas—Now be so good as to describe the state in which you found it? Witness—l noticed several cuts through the skin on the legs where the defendant struck it with the iron; but I did not see any blood. Mr. Thomas —Was the horse burnt? Witness—l can't say; I did not see it. Mr. Thomas said he had another witness, but he thought the case sufficiently proved, and he should not call him. The defendant did not deny the fact proved, but urged, in mitigation, that the horse was a confirmed jib. A witness gave the defendant an excellent character for humanity, and hoped the bench would deal leniently with him. The Magistrate told the defendant that he had been guilty of a great act of cruelty, for which he must pay a fine of 20s. and the costs. Mr. Scones, the clerk—The costs are 265. Magistrate That's a large sum, and I reduce the penalty. Mr. Thomas—You can, sir ; but I think you have dealt very leniently with him in reducing the penalty to 20s. Magistrate—Well, I shall reduce the penalty to 145., which, with the costs, will be 40s. You must pay 405., or be imprisoned 14 days. Defendant—Will you give me time ? I will pay so much a week. Magistrate—l will allow you 14 days. The defendant's witness advanced tkae money, and the defendant, who richly deserved the full penalty of 405., and the cost, was discharged. SUICIDE WITH A POISONOUS QUACK COMPOUND. On Monday Mr. Mills held an inquest at the Rutland Arms, Rutland-street, Hampstead-road, on the body of Mr. Charles Tatham, aged 41, army accoutrement maker, of 37, Charing-cross. Mr. Henry Tatham, gun-maker, at the same address, said deceased was his brother, and carried on his busi ness at the same premises, and at 52, Stanhope-street, Hampstead-road. His brother died at the house last mentioned between ten and eleven o'clock on Thursday night. From three o'clock to about five o'clock of the same day deceased had been ill and troubled with con tinual nausea at Charing-cross, and, not getting better, witness conveyed him to his residence in a cab. He was put to bed and attended to, and about two hours before his death he told his wife ho had taken poison, purchased at the shop of Mr. Starkie, chemist, 4, Strand. The moment the avowal was made deceased's medical adviser was sent tor. Mr. F. W. Mackenzie, surgeon, of Chester-place, Hyde- Park-square, said that on visiting; deceased he found him in a hopeless, exhausted state from the effects of some irritating poison. He administered remedies for the space of nearly two hours, but unavailingly. Since death he had opened the body, and tested the contents of the stomach in the presence of Professor Graham, and dhcovered arsenic. tie had no doubt that was the poison which destroyed life. Deceased said that iu the course of the day he went to a chemist's in the Strand and asked for arsenic to destroy rats. The chemist said he had none, but would give him a powder that would do as well. Deceased said he took the powder about three o'clock on Thursday. A packet of the powder was here produced, labelled " Butler's Gloucestershire Vermin and Insect Killer," and stating " that it would entirely destroy them (rats); and, at the same time, would not be liable to occasion those serious accidents which constantly occur from the use of common poisons." Mr. Mackenzie said that the powder found in de ceased's stom ac h was identical with that in the packet. Having examined a sixpenny packet of it, he was of opinion that it contained arsenic enough to kill four per sons. It was a preparation of arsenic diluted with other coloured ingredients. Mr. Starkie, chemist, acknowledged selling the powder as a safe thing, thinking that it was so from an adver tisement be had seen in the Pharmaceutical Journal, alleging that though the powder would kill quadrupeds it would not kill human beings. He had not analysed it, and took the statement in the advertisement for granted. Mr. Mackenzie said he knew of no powder that would kill quadrupeds and be innoxious to man. Evidence having been tendered showing that deceased's mind was sometimes unsound The CORONER said that when he bought the powder he was of more sane mind than the vendor of it, be cause he knew what Mr. Starkie did not know—viz., that a poison for quadrupeds must be a poison for human beings. Verdict, Temporary Insanity ; the jury appending, " That they strongly condemn the sale of poisons in open shops, without proper precautions being taken to pre vent the frequent fatal consequences of such sales. They regard the present instance as one calling for severe reprehension, and trust that a public exposure of the facts will tend to prevent the mischief which they believe is frequeittly occurring from the sal e o f po i son in druggists' houses."
