All the departmental journals agree in saying that the appeals to insurrection of the Socialist Chiefs have everywhere excited the strongest feelings of disgust, at the same time that they render more e vident the necessity of rallying at the ballot which i s about to take place. This necessity becomes still more urgent in the presence of the calumnies of all kinds which are circulated by party spirit, in order t' in fluence the electors, and a t l eas t t o preven t th em from giving their votes. „ The reception of the Princess Vasa, into the Ca at Church, formally took place a few days ago Vienna and what is also s ig nifi can t i n it s wa y i s ▪ at a milliner of the highest celebrity has left Paris Lo take the orders of the future Empress. 4l The U n i on has the following on the funeral of 14 - 1 -e Duke of Wellington : ``Our read ers w ill readily pardon us for not sharing thet h °Pinion o f t h e honourable Mr. Carter, member of English Parliament, as to the honours which Go tLornments and people pay to illustrious men, and to only who have deserved well of their country.

Fitch, arrived off Cowes yesterday morning on her way to Bremen, and landed the English and French. passengers and mails. The Washington has experienced unfavourable weather during her passage across the Atlantic. She brings specie value 60,425 dols. for Havre. The British and North American mail steamer arrived at New York from Liverpool on the 4th inst. By the Washington we have New York journals, with our usual correspondence to the 6th inst. inclusive. The election of General Franklin Pierce as Pre sident of the United States by an overwhelming ma3ority, is fully confirmed by this packet. The Hon. Edward Everett, who has been selected as the successor of the late Mr. Webster in the State Departanent, has arrived in Washington to commence his duties. According to the last advices from Texas, the people were again freely discussing the proposition to divide the state. It has territory enough to make four good-sized states. The Canadian Parliament is adjourned to the 14th of February. Mr. Hincks stated in the house on the 3d inst. that the new tariff would be post poned till after the adjournment, and that the measure would even then depend upon the course of the American Government. It is not to apply to British goods passing through the United States in bond. The Grand Trunk Railway project had been carried, the opposition of the Montreal party having been withdrawn. The steamer Empire City had arrived at New York with two days' later news from Havannah. Nothing positive was known as to the result of the interview between Judge Conklin (the American Envoy) and the Captain-General. Freights at Ha vannah were firmer, and slightly advancing, there being more activity both for Europe a n d th e nited States. The commercial advices from the United States present little change. Business on the Stock Ex change at New York was moderate. There was a good business doing in railway bonds. Exchange on London ruled at 110. The movement in dry goods was large. In ashes there was less anima tion. Cotton favoured holders, the supply being small and the demand brisk. In flour and meal, State and Western brands were also active, busi ness experiencing some check from the increasing rates of freight and scarcity of vessels. The supply of grain was ample. Rye scarce and advancing. In provisions pork was in good demand ; mess beef heavy. In wool, less activity, owing more to the diminished supplies than to any abatement of de mand. The week's transactions amount to 80,000 lb. In freights rates continued to stiffen and vessels to be in better demand. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 21. The Scourge, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Lord F. H. Kerr, arrived yesterday morning from the Mediterranean to be paid off. She left Malta on the 6th instant and Gibraltar the 14th. Lieutenant Yonge, from the Albion, appointed flag lieutenant to Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, has come home in the Scourge, and 16 invalids from the squadron. Her Majesty's ships Firebrand, Niger, Wasp, and Ante lope were at Gibraltar on the 14th. The Scourge had very rough weather on the passage home, having ex perienced a heavy gale of four days' continuance in the Bay of Biscay. The squadron under Rear-Admiral Dundas was daily expected at Gibraltar. The Fire brand steam-frigate, Captain Codd, was to leave Gib raltar on the 15th for Tangier, and thence to Woolwich. The Spiteful steam-sloop was ordered from Corfu to Plymouth to be paid off. The Calliope, 26, Captain Sir J. E. Home ; Bramble ,chooner, Lieutenant Ward ; and Acheron steam-sloop, Lieutenant Fitzroy, were all at Sydney, on the 17th of July, refitting. The Daring, 12, Commander Gerald Napier, arrived at Madeira from this port (which she left in company with the Bittern, 12) on the 24th ult., after a very bois terous passage of 10 days from Spithead. She parted company with the Bittern in the Bay of Biscay after the latter had carried away her maintopgallant-mast. The Daring sailed for Barbadoes on the 20th ult. All well. The Lords of the Admiralty have directed the super intendents of her Majesty's Dockyards to inform the officers and men employed therein that they disapprove of their taking municipal appointments. General Viscount Hardinge, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and Baron Raglan, Master-General of the Ordnance, are expected at the port in a few days in re ference to some important additions to the military de fences of this station. The Queen and Royal family are expected here, en •oute to Osborne, on or about the 26th inst.l PLYMOUTH, NOT. 21. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Sharpshooter, Lieutenant- Commander Parish, arrived on Friday from Portsmouth, came into harbour to coal, and on Saturday was placed to her sailing moorings. Her Majesty's frigate Indefatigable, 50, Captain R. Smart, is now being dismantled ; her masts will be taken out to-morrow, and her crew paid off on Tuesday. Her Majesty's brig Linnet, 8, Commander Need, is now in the Sound awaiting sailing orders.l Wind, S.E., with heavy rain. SHEERNESS, Nov. 21 Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Fearless, Captain Bullock, employed in surveying the south coast of England, arrived on Friday at noon. Having coaled, &c., she left port yesterday to resume her duties. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Wildfire, tender to Waterloo, Mr. Brockman, second master com manding, left port for Chatham on Friday at 10 a.m., to embark Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief at' the Nore. The Wildfire re turned in the afternoon, and on the gallant admiral's landing at the dockyard, the Hon. Montagu Stopford, flag captain, struck his broad pendant on board the Waterloo, and the flag (blue at the fore) of the Com mander-in-Chief was forthwith hoisted. Her Majesty's screw steam line-of-battle ship Aga memnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, has her lower rigging sparred, preparatory to fixing the ratlines. It is stated she will be sent to Queenstown in the spring, there to be stationed as flag-ship. Anothei accident oc curred on board this ship yesterday, one of her seamen having fallen from the fore-rigging and broken his collar bone. Her Majesty's steam-vessel African, second' master Gill, came into harbour yesterday, having towed the Hercules as far as the Downs. It is currently reported that her Majesty's ship Lon don, 90, Captain G. R. Mundy, will not be employed on foreign service, and that her crew will ere long be trans ferred to a screw line-of-battle ship. Her Majesty's ship Royal George, 120, is forthwith to be fitted with a screw propeller, orders to that effect having been received at Chatham Dockyard. A large number of workmen are already employed on her. She is to be fitted for the screw on the plan adopted in the steam-guardships Ajax and Edinburgh, and is to have engines of 400-horse power. The officers, seamen, and marines of the Waterloo, London, Agamemnon, Horatio, and Porcupine, were mustered on Friday afternoon by the Hon. Montagu Stopford, Naval Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, and Flag Captain to Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, C.B. The schooner Alfred, of Wells, Hudson, master, from Milton for Middlesboro', has been washed up on the salt ings in the west Swale, near Queenborough. Mr. David Blyth, commanding the detachment of Royal Marines on board the Horatio, 22, screw steam guardship at this port, has attained the rank of captain by the retirement on full pay of Brevet-Major W. M`Kin non, and is appointed to the Chatham division. Second Lieutenant F. S. Dowse, of the same division, becomes First Lieutenant, vice Blyth. Nineteen minute guns were fired" from the sainting battery in Chatham garrison on the occasion of the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington, and the Royal standard at Fort Amherst hoisted half-mast high. A garrison order was also issued to suspend all drill for the troops during the day. WOOLWICH, Nov. 20. APPOINTMENTS. Mate.--John Z.

Th e gallant Comm, dore made a very minute inspection of th e vessel, which o ccupied nearly three hours , and the men - ere put through their great-gun and sword exer c i ses , wh i ch they performed in a satisfactory manner. Th ere are no orders yet as to what will b e done with th e ves sel, nor is it kno wn if she will be paid off, as she was only commissioned in October, 1851, havin g b een sent home from the West Indies in consequence of the sickly state of her crew and the number of deaths that took place when on the West Indies' district of her last station. There must be some peculiarity in the construction and ventilation of the Rosamond, or in the wood of which she is constructed , of a noxious nature, to render her unfit to be ever again employed in a tropical or warm climate ; bnt she might still be made useful as a tug at any of the naval ports in this country, and the officers and crew might be turned over to any of the steam-sloops in an advanced state and ready for com mission. Four of the officers studying steam at the factory at Woolwich Dockyard, Captain Francis Scott (1848), Commander Hon. George H. Douglas (1851), Com mander Frederick Woollcombe (1852), and Lieutenant Griffith G. Philli ps (1838), were all examined by Mr. Charles Atherton, chief engineer, on Tuesday, Wednes day, and Friday last, as to their knowledge of the prin ciples and ' working of m arine steam-engines • and their examinations havin g p rove d sa ti s f a ctory to the chief engineer, they have all received certificates accordingly. • P THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY E:VENING, NOVEMBErt, 22, 1852. GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WOOL. SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLII. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. An awful clatter has been raised about an alleged piece of appropriation by no less a personage than the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Last Monday, in virtue of his office, he had to move some resolu tions with regard to the public funeral ; and in doing so he made a speech which might, perhaps, be rather more elaborate than suited the occasion, but was still much admired, and, what is more, made a very deep impression. It was speedily dis covered that one passage in it was almost identical with a quotation that appeared four years ago in one of our morning contemporaries. This, of course, was a grand discovery. A shout of " Stop thief !" was raised, and a whole pack of jealous litterateurs were immediately on the scent of their offending, rand pe:"- Kis too successful, brother. The robbery was pos'ced in the evening Hue and Cry with all the particulars, description, date, injured party, and everything but the height, dress, and hair of the culprit. So serious, so distinct, and so undoubted was the crime, that the detectors expected at least to see a conscience money' paragraph from the distinguished plagiarist restoring the stolen passage to its rightful owner with suitable apologies. For our part, the thing appeared so trivial, that we were only sorry a speech which we had read with pleasure should be liable to any exception whatever. It was evident that Mr. Disraeli had adopted a practice deliberately re commended and extensively practised by no less an authority than Cicero—viz., storing in the memory a variety of " topics" or common : places, and producing them whenever matter might be wanting, or the thread of the speech lost for the moment. The passage in question, describing the peculiar difficulties and excellences of military genius, is exactly such a topic as Cicero meant, and is one which even now, after this terrible exposure, our younger readers might do well to store in their memory. As for plagiarism, there is not a great orator or poet who has not been a plagiarist, and that on a very extensive scale. The calendar would include every author worth reading since the world began. Divers of our contemporaries, how ever, having neither bowels of compassion nor even common sense, as it appeared to us, fell foul ' of the alleged robber with honest rage and awful severity. In the fury of their censure they gave up all discrimination. The man, the very tone of his voice, and the passage itself, were all abused ; the article from which it was first taken was de scribed as trashy ; the French marshal about whom it was said to be written was pronounced third rate ; and M. Thiers himself came in for some' spatterings of the wide-spread vituperation. A letter which we publish from Mr. Smythe shows that the affair is by no means exactly as these candid gentlemen have hastily assumed. As far as regards the morning contemporary quoted in the above-mentioned Hue and Cry, instead of Mr. Disraeli being indebted to it for the passage in question, it was indebted to Mr. Disraeli. We believe the real truth to be much as follows : A good many years ago Mr. Disraeli had the happiness to receive a copy of the Revue Trimestre, containing a favourable notice of his novel Vivian Grey, then lately published, and was encouraged thereby to look into the rest of the articles. Among them was one not particularly on Marshal St. Cyr, who was then alive, but on military genius, or some such wide subject. That it was written by M. Thiers rests on no other evidence than that M. Thiers, who was then scarcely known, was a contributor to the Revue Trimestre. Mr. Dis raeli was pleased with the article, committed some of the passages to memory, and the passages so learnt have furnished successively a striking paragraph to a morning contemporary and to a speech in the House of Commons. All this is very natural. But why did not Mr. Disraeli give the name of the author ? We believe it is not known. The passage is from an anonymous article in a review, probably, but not avowedly, by M. Thiers. To give the name of an authority is always difficult in a speech ; much more so when it is a review or other periodical. But the fair account of the matter is, that Mr. Disraeli found himself in the passage before he had time to affix the proper title-page, introduction, and table of contents. It is one of the evils of a well-stored memory that a man cannot help quot ing ; but nothing destroys the interest of a speech and the confidence of the hearers so much as avow ed quotations. In many cases the hearers and the passage itself gain quite as much as the speaker can possibly do by the omission of the author's name. It is so, on the admission of Mr. Disraeli's most merciless critics, in the instance before us. In the ardour of depreciation, they tell us that M. Thiers, the article, the Revue Trimestre, and Marshal St. Cyr are all one as bad as another—trashy, obscure, third-rate, French, false, and everything that is bad and insignificant. Yet the gem extracted out of this rubbish, and inserted in a speech, is so con spicuous and admirable that a whole mob of authors run mad to deprive him of the supposed glory attaching to its authorship. Now, we beg to suggest to these gentlemen, whether it is worth their while to be flinging as much dirt as they can on the only litterateur who has ever yet succeeded in breaking that solid aris tocratical phalanx which has hitherto monopolized the high offices of the State. Why aro authors to drag down every one of their fraternity who may happen to become a Minister of State ? It is thus that literature cuts its own throat in this country. We may depend upon it, that authors will never have their proper consideration, in the face of dukes, millionaires, squires, and prize cattle, till they are loyal to their own body, and help one another to rise, when the opportunity offers. Chas tise Disraeli's political errors as much as you please, but don't help the country party to throw off the accomplished horseman who is riding them with such admirable effect. We are delighted to see them put through their paces by one not of themselves. They would rather, of course, he were a descendant of William the Conqueror, even though he had a dozen bars of bastardy in the quarterings of his shield. - Unfortunately, however, the aris tocracy of England is not fertile in ministerial or any other talent, and they are forced to look intellect. Their not only for money, but even for Their necessity is the opportunity of literature, and we trust it will turn to good account.—Times. The racing year in the olden time closed with the Houghton-Meeting at the end of October ; what is termed the "legitimate" season (for what reason I scarcely know) still does so. The season, however, really does not terminate until to-morrow, when Shrewsbury Meet ing will wind it up. There are two meetings this week, Aberystwith and Shrewsbury, both of which come off to-morrow. The Cardiganshire Stakes at the former will, I have but little doubt, see Gamecock first, Buscot Buck second, and The Gift third. The Aberystwith Open Steeplechase, out of its eight acceptances, will, most probably, have six or seven at the post. As yet California has been the only horse much backed, Esmeralda but occasionally coming in for a slight support. The top weight, St. Helier, completely unused to the peculiar kind of course over which this steeplechase is run, will, I should say, stand but little chance of competing successfully with his Welsh rivals. Captain Powell's chesnut gelding is an useful ani mal, and will, no doubt, run well on this occa sion. California is not only the fancy at Aberyst with, but also in London, not more than 2 to 1 being able to be got in town, although a point more has been laid at the seat of action. His chance is good, and he is almost certain to be one of the first three. Esmer alda knows the course well, having travelled over it several times, and always running forward, which she will do, lam convinced, on this occasion. Lottery is weighted very nicely ; and, in my opinion, has the best chance of any in the race, Esmeralda being his most dangerous opponent. Harkaway I have no penchant for. He, with Petworth and Ferryman, though lightly weighted, are deficient in the speed possessed by the others. Taking all things into consideration, I opine the result will show LOTTERY in the first place, Esmer alda and California in the second and third position ; Captain Powell's chestnut gelding and St. Helier follow ing them in. What little betting has been done on this race ,is at the following prices :-3 and 2 to 1 about California ; 7 to 2 and 3 to 1 about Esmeralda ; 4 to 1 each against Captain Powell's gelding and Lottery ; and 6 to 1 against Petworth. St. Helier not mentioLed. The first day's races of the Shrewsbury Autumn Meet ing (Tuesday) will commence with the sstley House Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 25 added, for two-years-old; colts 9st, and fillies Bst 101 b. T.Y.C. The winner to be sold, &c. ; and to close and name betveen four and six this evening. The Shrewsbury Handicap of 50 sovs., added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, 2 ft., &c. ; about two miles and a quarter, with penalties for winning, which will only affect the Little Fawn, whose weight, including the 71b, will be 7st 51b. Twenty-eight ac ceptances out of an entry of thirty-seven is something more than good—it is excellent ; andif only a moiety can be induced to figure at the post, a good race must be the natural consequence. The Alp, 6 years, 7st 81b, is held perfectly safe by his neighbour in the weight—the Little Fawn—who will run uncommonly well, obtaining, according to my view of the which the helli h l t e oh a o s e, least. Lough oh L ne ontuhgehp res lenientlyen Bawnt treated run, occasion nby at ;eahniads handicapper, startingtolerably e ca bu s t t h e js somewhat doubtful. I should advise, however, his being held harmless. Goldfinder, I believe, is a non-starter. Candlewick, if she runs, will doubtless finish forward. The same remark will apply to Aaron Smith. Titter- Stone has no chance whatever. Doubt, at 6st. 101 b., ought to be about winning. Cauri re , a t the same weight as the preceding, has no chance. Ditto Allegro. lanthe, I should say, will find the distance too far. Unity has been entered for a variety of stakes, but never obliges her backers, nor anybody else, with a sight of her lovely person. Lindrick will stop at home. Kite flyer, it is said, will go • if he does, of co urse A aron Smith will be out of it. Varp is a thorough bad one. Little Davie has no chance at 21bs. less than Kiteflyer. The-five-years old Charley, . with 6st. 11b. up, is let loose ; but notwithstanding he is so favoured, I fancy he cannot win. King of Troy and Lorry whent, at 6st. each, are very fairly in. The Surveyor, at the same weight, is likewise fairly treated. Mary Ann, I understand, does not run. Old Snowstorm, with the feather of sst 131 b up, is, lam afraid, a very bad spec. The Priest, I confess, I know , nothing about. Thunderbolt, Bit of Blue, and Cheroot, are inferior to Barbata and Miss Jemima ; none of the lot, however, are likely to win. To sum up, the Little Fawn, Lough Bawn, Doubt, and Lord Caledon's and to be in front at the finish ; and if I place DOUBT first, Mr., Copeland's starters, would seem to be the lot likely with the Little Fawn and Wadlow's starter second and third, I think I shall be as near the actual result as human foresight can possibly predict. The Column Handicap, of 50 sovs., added to a handi cap sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, 2 ft., &c. ; one mile and a quarter. Without wading through the pretensions of the 33 acceptances for this, I will jump to the conclu sion by giving it as my opinion, that Warwick, Lady Amyott, Master Slender, and the couple of top weights, will be the foremost horses in the fray—WA.Bwim mid LADY AMYOTT being first and second. The Steeplechase and Hurdle Race I will notice to. morrow. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF, MISS WHITE'S LETTERS TO MISS DIANA CAMPBELL. LOSS OF FOUR LIVES FROM THE FLOODS IN SURREY. The inundations in Surrey are now, and have been, for the past week, so extensive as to have made all com munication to the different towns and villages extremely dangerous on foot, and, in many parts, even so by horse conveyance. The inconvenience sustained, and contri vances resorted to, has led to the following melancholy loss of life at Walton-upon-Thames, a village near Chertsey, upon the South Western Railway. On Satur day evening, about five o'clock, Sarah, the wife of James Lilley, together with her son, a boy about twelve years old, and her daughter, aged fourteen, together with their father, had been employed on App's Court farm, in the occupation of Mr. William Careless, and were returning home from their work at the above hour to their cottage, which is at present, in conseque*ce of the floods, completely surrounded by water. The farm of Mr. Careless is surrounded by a deep moat which separates the cottage of the unfortunate de ceased and another from the farm where they had been at work, and their ordinary mode of getting to this cot tage was by moans of a path running along the side of the moat, and then over a high embankment at the end of it. This embankment is now about three feet under water, and therefore to get to their cottage they had re course to a beer cooler, about seven feet long, four feet wide, and only seven inches in depth, for the purpose of being punted across the moat, which is in its present state thirty yards wide, On the evening in question the three persons above named, viz., Mrs. Lilley, and her son and daughter, having returned from the farm, were waiting at the edge of the moat for the return of the husband of Mrs. Lilley, who had gone to the stables, to punt them across in this beer cooler, he having previously to leaving them told his wife to be sure and not attempt to cross the moat until he came back, which caution, however, appears to have been ne glected, as the deceased Thomas Jarvis, a shepherd in Mr. Careless's employ, who was feeding some sheep in a turnip field a short distance from the moat, is supposed to have offered, or was solicited, to ferry the three per sons across. The four persons were all seen by Ellen, a younger daughter, who was standing at the cottage door, to leave the bank in a beer-cooler together, being punted over by the shepherd with a long pole. She immedi ately afterwards heard cries for assistance, and upon running out of the cottage she saw them all struggling in the moat, and the beer-cooler floating filled with water. Assistance was procured as speedily as possible, and the bodies were got out, but unfortunately life was found to be extinct in them all. They were conveyed to the Castle Inn, where they now await an inquest. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—The seventh edition of the St. Helena Advocate, dated the 29th September last, has been forwarded to us. It contains an interesting account of the voyage from Liverpool to St. Helena; but the most amusing part of the publication are the advertise ments addressed by the passengers to their friends at home. They speak most eloquently of "home, sweet E ot n h g e l r a s n , d " for rod ever," save er,„ the a n d Qu , e , en e ; Th " home." S ome o f t h em are headed " All well ;"others, " Erin g o bragh ;" oth er s, All serene up to now ;" landand swomheere few Free " rom ld dwells." Th e l anguage of all is simple and touching ; but while one or two merely declares that the under signed " are all right and jolly,"• • the majority of them breathe such words of affection as " • Kind love and re membrances to friends and relative "s. GRATUITY TO THE TROOPS WHO ATTENDED THE DEUCE'S FUNERAL.—We have much pleasure in being able to announce that the Secretary -at-W ar has consented to allow a gratuity of a shilling each to all the non-commis sioned officers and men employed in the procession, or on duty in aid of the civil power, during the funeral of the late Commander-in-Chief, 011 the 18th inst.—United Service Gazette. • TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sna,—l believe that most persons have regretted the publication in the newspapers of certain letters that were, on a late occasion, found in the pocket of Miss Diana Campbell, having no reference to her case ; and although I am for obvious reasons unwilling further to allude to Miss Campbell, it seems only just to the persons uncon nected with the present accusations against her, who are referred to in those letters, that some explanation should be given respecting them. Three of the letters bear the signature of Miss Char lotte C. White, who is now, I am told, a Carmelite nun, and no doubt ignorant of the use made of them, and al together precluded from taking part in what is going on in the world. These letters refer to a Miss Clara Powell, who is represented to have become a Roman Catholic, and afterwards to have been compelled by her mother to return to the Home in London ; thence to have been sent to the Home in Devonport, where " she has been and probably is under discipline ;" and the most painful mystery is said to hang over the whole matter. So far as my daughter and her associates at Devon port are concerned, they would bear these calumnies, as they have many others equally unjust, rather than come forward to contradict them, and While they rested only on a vague rumour I should not have noticed them my self. But to be.silent under the distinct statements con tained in these letters, and the inferences drawn from them in the public papers, would seem to be admitting the truth of assertions of which, after careful inquiry, I am able to prove the entire falsehood. I therefore consider it due to those who have been thus traduced to make the following statement. I. Instead of Miss Clara Powell being a convert to the Romish Church, she was watched for days and weeks together, and was at length waylaid and taken by Miss White to the Roman Catholic Oratory in King William street, where, after several hours' vehement and urgent persuasion, she was (to use her own words) "terrified " into submission to what is called conditional baptism ; after which she was taken by Mice White to a house at Kensington, whence she was released with considerable difficulty on the following morning by her own mother, who took her back to the Home near the Regent's-park, where she had been previously residing. 2. Her movements were, however, still watched, and on her going to Christ's Church, St- Pancras, to receive Holy Communion, she was assailed at the door of the church with cries from persons who reproached her as an apostate. 3. Finding that she was subject to such annoyances, she was glad to accept an invitation from my daughter to visit her at Devonport. 4, She went there with the approval of her mother, who begs me to say there has been, no " painful mystery" respecting her going there or het. residence there. She has remained at her own express desire, and was, and is free to leave at any moment. 5. Her mother and her sister have been, and are, in the habit of visiting her constantl y. She never was re fused seeing any one, nor wished to see any one, without doing so ; and Mrs. Powell desires me to "express her entire satitsfaotion with the treatment her daughter has received from Mks Sellon." 6. Miss Clara Powell's deep Patitude for the peaceful and happy home afforded her is best shown in her own unaffected and simple letters to nte, from which I quote her own words : "It is grievous to be forced to write about things which are of such deep pain and sorrow but one would do anything to assure the world of the falsity and ab surdity of reports of cruelty to one who so loves the place she is in, and approves of all the gentle way she has been treated. " The Mother (Miss Sellon) re ce i ved me as a person would a child of their own, whom they dearly loved, and who had done very wrong. She spoke solemnly to me. Great, indeed, have been my ° u"Rations to her, and to all with whom I have had relation here. Their kind. ness has been very great—groat as He whom they serve desires it to be. May He bless the ta f or it I" She further adds : " I am a faithful member of the Church of England, and have no wish or intention to Leave her communion." I make this stat emen t distinctl Y and positively. I have endeavoured, as far as I could, to avoid all unne cessary use of other persons' names and to deal only with facts, for the truth of which f have the authority 'of the parties themselves.—l am, Sir, yours faithfully, W. It. B. SELLON, Commander R.N. Elm Lodge, Kilburn, 20th Nov. FALL OF A HOUSE AT PLYMOUTII.--.0, saturay after noon a house, which was in course of erection near the terminus of the South Devon Railway in Plymouth, sud denly gave way, and carried with it three men who were at the time at work on the scaffoldiv. Two of them were so seriously injured that it is feared they may not recoVer. It is believed that the earth having been loosened by the heavy floods of rain led to the accident. - • " WELLINGTON CLUB."—It is proposed to establish a new club, under this title, in the immediate neighbour hood of Portland-place, or in some other eligible situation, " thus giving club accommodation to residents in the Regent's-park, and in the numerous squares in the north-west part of London." THE LATE ACCIDENTS AT CHELSEA HOSPITAL.— Information was forwarded on Saturday last to Mr. Wakley, the coroner for Middlesex, to the effect that a man, named Charles Barton, 48 years of age, a tin japanner, residing at No. 8, Tower-street, Seven Dials, expired on Monday, the 15th inst., from injuries re ceived on the previous Saturday, by being crushed in the• immense crowd which had assembled to view the lying in state at Chelsea hospital, _~.~ WEST ,FLANDERS. The half-yearly general meeting of proprietors was held on Saturday last, at the offices, 61, Moorgate-street, Mr. W. P. Richards in the chair. The report, which was taken as read, was as follows :—" The directors, in placing before the proprietors the report of the proceed ings of the company since the last general meeting, con sider it expedient briefly to recapitulate so much of . the preceding ones as may be necessary to convey an accurate idea of the present position of the company. The new convention with the Belgian Government permits the company to diminish the length of the lines originally contemplated, and has introduced certain other modifi cations in order to reduce the cost of construction of the remainder ; It has also guaranteed to the company an income of 16,0001. a year as the profit of the new lines when completed, and proportional parts are to become payable as sections are consecutively opened for traffic. Power is also given to raise fresh capital by the creation of new shares, the original powers being limited to rais ing money on debentures. The alterations in the original statutes of the company, combined with the new convention have limited the responsibility of the shareholders, so that the original shares are now paid up in full, and liable to no further calls. The directors have exercised the powers thus granted to them by the Belgian Government, and sanctioned by the special general meeting of the 2d of March last, and have created above 14,000 preference shares, bearing interest at the rate of 5/ per cent. per annum. The new capital thus created will exceed the sum required to complete the first two sections of the new line, that is, from Courtrai to Werwicq, and from thence to Poperinghe, according to the estimates fur nished by the engineer of the company. These esti mates have been fairly tested by the section between Courtrai and Werwicq, and have proved most satisfac tory. This portion of the line is just completed, and will be open for traffic in the course of December, when the company will be entitled to claim from the Belgian Government one fourth of , the whole guarantee of 16,000/. per annum, or so, much of it as the line itself fails to produce: It is satisfactory to observe that this portion of the line has been constructed at a cost consi derably within the engineer's estimate, and canot fail to be a valuable feeder to the existing line. Comparing the cost of construction with the guaranteed produce of the line, there can be no doubt of the sufficiency of the security on • the preference shares. Under these circumstances, the directors have considered it expe dient not to attempt to raise any more capital at present, on the conviction that when wanted it will be obtained on terms more advantageous than heretofore. The works upon the remainder of the line to Poperinghe will be put in hand without loss of time, and be continued under the care ful and active superintendence of Mr. Chantrell—the di recteur-gerant. The convention with the Government requires the arrangement of the account on the 31st De cember of each year. With a view to facilitate this operation the directors propose to alter the period of balancing their books, which will in future take place on the 30th June and 31st December, and the half-yearly meetings must be necessarily altered to meet this arrange ment. The directeur-gerant's report is affixed as usual, and will furnish every detail of traffic. It will be found that the increase of profit above the corresponding half year amounts to 6271. 19s. 7d., which will enable the directors to declare a dividend of 2s. 6d. a share by tak ing 3461. 4s. sd. from the rest. A resolution for the payment of 2s. 6d. per share will be brought forward at the half-yearly general meeting to be held at Bruges on the 26th inst. ; and provided a sufficient amount of stock be then present, either personally or by proxy, to consti tute a meeting, the payments will be made at this office on and after the Ist December in respect of all registered shares, and on the presentation of shares To Bearer."' The report was adppted, after which resolutions alter ing the time of balancing the books to the 30th of June and 31st of Deceniber, and declaring a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share, was then passed, and the meeting separated. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.—The directors of this company, in a circular to the shareholders, state that, for the protection of the interests of the company, they have given notice of application to Parliament for cer tain bills. The first is to authorise the oompany to effect the junction of the Reading, Guildford, and Rei gate branch with the Great Western Railway at Read ing. The second is for a bill to authorise the raising of money to purchase the Canterbury and Whitstable Rail way, and to provide capital for the steam boats, in accordance with the resolutions passed by the proprietors. The next is to extend the North Kent line from Strood to the existing line and station at Maidstone. The directors also propose the extension of the North Kent line from Lewisham to Croydon and Bromley, which they expect to arrange on satisfactory terms, if not on joint account, with the Brighton Company. They also propose to extend the North Kent line by the Anger stein branch to Blackwall Point, immediately opposite to the station on the other side of the River Thames, where the ' northern lines of railway coverage at the terminus of the East and West Indian Dock Junction Railway, with which it is proposed to connect this extension by a steam ferry ; and to ask for powers to continue the Greenwich Railway through the north side of Greenwich-park, which will give a direct communica tion between London-bridge and Blackwall Point, as well as between Greenwich and Woolwich, which they consider will be highly remunerative, as, at present, no direct railway communication exists between Greenwich and Woolwich. The directors state that the measure is sure to be carried at no distant period, and that it will prove as advantageous to the proprietors as desirable for the public. In conclusion, they state that it will be their duty to call a special meeting of the company on an early day, to consider the course they recommend fur adtption. FRIGHTFUL DEATH ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—On Saturday, Mr. G. S. Brent, the Deputy Coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest at the College Arms, College-place, Camden-town, on the body of James Carter, who was found dead on the above railway, immediately behind the gas-works of the Imperial Com pany, on Tuesday last. Prom the evidence it appears that deceased was 52 years of age, and that he had been in the employ of the company for twelve months as a pointsman. On the evening in question, shortly before the arrival of a coal train, he was seen to cross over to his proper position to shift the metals. One of the wit nesses offered him a lantern, but he refused to take it, stating that he knew the position of every rail. In ten minutes from this time the train, with eleven ton of coals arrived, and in three minutes after the body was found in a very mangled condition. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and strongly recom mended to thebenevolent consideration of the company the bereaved condition of the widow and children of the unfortunate man. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT RED-HILL.—Mrs. Mary Cloves, of 18, Regency-square, Brighton, who met with a compound fracture of the right leg at • the accident which 'occurred on the Brighton Railway on the lst inst., died on Saturday evening from the result of the injuries which she then received. The fracture was re duced by Mr. B. Valiance, surgeon, who, in conjunction with his partner, Mr. Seabrook, continued in attendance on the unfortunate woman until death ensued. An in quest is to be held on the body this day, but some little difficulty is expected on account of the driver and guard of the engine, which by neglect of {rules caused the mis chief, having been adjudged by the Reigate 'magistrates to suffer two months' hard labour in one of the Surrey prisons. In the event of an inquest being held, it will be necessary that they, as the persons likely to be in culpated in the verdict, should be in attendance, and therefore a habeas corpus will be required to bring them up from prison to the presence of the Coroner's jury. THE BEST MEMORIAL FOR WELLINGTON.-A propo sal is now before the public for a memorial to Welling ton far more worthy than statues or paintings or any other such complimentary devices. The intention is to raise a subscription-which her Majesty the Queen has commenced by giving a thousand pounds-to be used for the establishment of " a school or college, to bear he name of the Duke of Wellington, for the gratuitous, or nearly gratuitous, education of orphan children of indigent and meritorious officers of the army. Institu tions more or less national already exist in which the advantages of such an education can be obtained by the children of soldiers, of naval officers, and of the clergy ; but no such provision has been made in favour of officers of the army, a class of men peculiarly liable to casualties, by which their families are often left in a condition of the most painful pecuniary embarrassment, and under circumstances in which the necessarily- strin gent regulations of the War-office preclude the possibility of any relief from public funds." Surely such a memo rial is far better than any number of indifferent statues. THE PACHA'S STEAM YACHT FAID GABOOD.-The trial trip at the measured mile at Stokes Bay of this truly beautiful yacht, built by Messrs. Mare, of Blackwall, for his Highness Abbas Pacha, took place on Saturday morning, on which occasion a large number of gentlemen were present on the invitation of the Messrs. Zulueta, who had provided an elegant dejeuner on board. A large portion of the gentlemen who had received invitations belonged to London, and arrived by special train, whO were conveyed on board the yacht, which was lying in the river, by a small steamer ; and as soon as they with the other guests were on board, she started for the measured mile at Stokes Bay, and having been put to the trial, accomplished the distance, the tide being in her favour, in 4 min. 13 sec., or 14+ knots ; and against the tide, and a strong head wind, she did in 5 min. 7 sec., being at the rate of 11 . knots per hour. This was considered highly satisfactory. 'The company then retired to the principal saloon, where an elegant spread was laid out, after partaking of which some capital speeches were made, the company being presided over by Mr. Zulueta, supported by the Mayor of Southampton. The yacht returned to the docks in the evening, and will lay there for about a week or ten days, when she will be conveyed to Alexandria by Captain Calbeck, when she will be de livered over to the Egyptian Government.

ALARMING FIRE NEAR FINSBURY-SQUARE.-Yester day morning, shortly after two o'clock, a fire of a very alarming character broke out in the extensive premises of Mr. Carpenter (formerly Messrs. Clymer Di xon , and Co.), manufacturer of the pat en t C o l u mbian printing press, situate at No. 10, Finsbury-street, Finsbury square. The origin of the fire, it is supposed, was from the heat of the furnace line. Fortunately Mr. Car penter was insured in the Monarch Fire-office. THE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS.
