It was subsequently discovered that Henry - -;:a3alham, a child 3-Ls years old, was missing , and the remains of the poor little fellow, frightfully charred, were subsequently found in the ruins. The St. Pan cras parish engine was the first to arrive, and was speedily followed by brigade engines, under the orders of Mr. Gough, the foreman of the western dis trict. The entire of the house N 0.65 was destroyed ; but. by the exertions of the firemen and police, it was prevented from extending further. Mr. White, who is believed to be insured, had, with his wife, gone, it is said, on an excursion to Tunbridge Wells. The body of the child was conveyed in a shell to St. Pancras workhouse, where it awaits an inquest. THE STAFFORD GOLD MINING COM PANT, VIRGINIA. Conducted on the Cost-book Principle.

The promoters establishing this Company have entered into con tract for the purchase, in fee simple, of a highly valuable mineral property, situate within eight miles of Fredericksburg, in the county of Stafford, Virginia, U.S., containing 450 acres of land, in which very extensive and valuable veins of gold quartz have been dis covered, and already satisfactorily developed. This mineral property has been carefully surveyed, and the veins and granulated earth tested and reported upon by a distinguished geological professor, James R. Chilton, M.D., of the city of New York. _ . . _ _ The produce, from analysis, of given quantities of the quartz rock and granulated earth, on amalgamation, have yielded very satisfactory results ; and the general indications of the extensive veins encourage well-founded reliance of the high value of the mi neral property. Of the 450 acres of land, the soil being of excellent quality, up wards of 150 acres have been cleared and are now under cultiva tion. The land is well timbered, affording cheap facilities far min ing operations. The improvements consist of a plain-framed house, with usual outbuildings. _ _ The mining tract proper contains 102 acres, but it has been as certained that the whole of the land is impregnated with granulated dust, whilst veins of iron ore, yielding by analysis 45 per cent., have also been found upon the land. The quartz veins form the back bone of an extensive ridge 80 feet in height, extending to 1% miles. The lode, as it crops to surface, is found to be from 24 to 30 inches wide : ithas been developed by shaft to the depth of 40 feet, and a level has been driven to a point where the vein is three feet wide. At one end of the vein, and within 50 yards, a water-power mill, with stone dam in complete order, is already erected, and accessible by a hard level road. The head of water is sufficient to work the . stamps for ten months, and in rainy seasons during t h e entireteyneetrd The natural features of the property for cheap an d ea th e mining operations are considered superior to any in t he comat i t y of more especially as at water level it will develop an immense hou ore without the necessity or expense of pumping. The mill seat is available to the Company at the small rental of a machinery 201. per annum ; the necessary stamps and amalgam& - may be completed in three months. The climate is remarkably healthy, provisions abundant and cheap, land and water carriage convenient. A particular feature in the economy of undertakingthis andte re r d e u V o es n special notice. The general mining operations _ and amalgamation processes are in this state under p s e u ri pe ods rin , tendence 4 remarkably small, the cost and performed by labourers whose pay -a maintenance of each man, by contract not ex. for given ceeding 201. per annum.

The dictates of humanity have recently,,r in several the p in s t an ces, been prmitted to direct eeeedings of the Imprial Legislature. We snake n _ o allusion here, of course, to any one of the various sanitary innovations. Whatever cha n g es have been effected in that direction—and Heaven knows they are few enough !—they have tended nearly as much to the individual benefit of the legislators themselve s as to that of any other class of the population. Improved drainage, better ventilation, supplies of larger, or rather Peer water, the destruction of the old City graveyards, and the substitution for them of extra mural cemeteries c apable of yielding to all the ter rible and enornaou, exigencies of interment —Pre measures appealing less to the principles of mag nanimity than to the much simpler one of self-pre servation. It is not, the re f ore, to the sanitary ac i h'eve- ments of the Houses of Lords end Commons that we are making reference when we speak of " the dictates of humanity" having preside d over their col lective judgment. We would here be understood to THE SUN, imply, on the contrary, that nobler exercise of the prerogatives of legislative power which is discover able in the formation of laws peculiarly tending to secure advantages to the humbler sections of the community. It was precisely in this spirit that our rulers acted when they obtained for the poorest amongst the multitude the boon accruing from those Parliamentary trains by which any one can travel from one extremity of the kingdom to the other at the rate of one penny per mile ! It was in a similar mood that it was rendered imperative in several quar ters that better accommodation should be yielded by the companies to the third-class passengers. Instead of being subjected to all the inclemencies of the wea ther in open carriages, the latter have now obtained, through the humane interposition of the Legislature, all necessary protection from what, in various cases, was productive of death to the sufferer. While we cannot but exult at efforts of this beneficent character, we must likewise experience feelings of profound re gret that no endeavour of a like kind has been at tempted to benefit another class of travellers equally requiring the assistance of the Parliament. It were surely only consistent with these proceedings, in re gard to the third-class passengers on railways, to adopt a somewhat similar course in reference to the unfortunate deck passengers on board our steam-boats. Whoever has employed this mode of conveyance must be fami liar with the extraordinary inconvenience to which the unlucky deck passengers are subjected, more especially when the voyage extends over two or three days into a week, or in some instances even to the better portion of a fortnight. They are without any covering whatever —being liable i to be alter n at e ly broiled in the sun and soaked n wet weather. If the seas shipped are more than usually heavy they are drenched ; or if the rain falls, as it sometimes does, of course, in these disagreeable journeyings, in torren ts, they are absolutely deluged. Under an an cumulation of all these grievances, they may occa sionally crawl underneath the wheels of some gentle man's carriage that by good chance happens to be on board, or more frequently cluster under the wake of the funnel, for the purpose of enjoying the unwhole some heat eng en d ere d b y the b o i ler. T o t h e strongest man in robust health this kind of treatment, night and day, during the larger portion of a week, must natu rally be calculated to prove injurious. To a sickly female or a delicate child the evil effects must obvi ously be still more detrimental. It may be fancied that the circumstances upon which we are here com menting are in very seldom recurrence. Such a con jecture we may at once declare to be, unhappily, er roneous. Deck passengers are, in the manner specified, being continually overwhelmed with discomforts, thereby having their lives unnecessarily endangered, or, at any rate, their constitutions needlessly undermined. The Legislature, we consider, should interfere in their behalf as it has already interposed in favour of the third-class passengers upon railways. Measures should be adopted compelling the steam-boat companies to apply to the deck passengers some portion at least of the species of accommodation afforded by them in abundance to the passengers in the fore-cabin and in the saloon. It would be absurd to object to this pro position, that shelter of any kind whatsoever is pre cluded from them in their very capacity as deck passengers. In these days of manifold contrivance we cannot admit that such an argument would be adequate, or that such an objection would be admis sible. If the unfortunate travellers here mentioned are allowed to collect together in groups upon deck— a circumstance clearly indicative that they interfere in no way with the working of the vessels—there is room enough when rainy weather comes on to admit of some tarpaulin tent being spread over them, so as to protect them in some measure from the otherwise inevitable inconveniences of their position. We are not talking in this way idly or hurriedly, but with deliberate and earnest premeditation. We are specifying a griev ance which we conceive appeals directly to the hu manity of the Imperial Legislature. A Parliament generous enough in disposition, as the Parliament of the United Kingdom was some years ago, to pass into an enactment MARTIN'S humane measure for the prevention of cruelty to animals, may surely be looked to with some degree of confidence for a law prohibiting any one from the infliction of bodily injury upon our fellow-creatures. Such is the law we are solicitous to see enforced in behalf of the unfortunate deck passengers on board our steam boats. At the political banquet recently given at New castle to Mr. ORD (who had been in Parliament for half a century as a Reformer), one of the toasts was " Lord John Russell and the members of the late Administration." This was in the country : in London, the seat and centre of political life, people are not quite so apt to take it for granted that the late will necessarily be the future Prime Minister. Among the numerous Reformers in the metropolis there was a growing discontent (long before he aban donedot office) at the do-little policy of Lord JOHN. His new edition of the Reform Bill ill ex was ten in admitted of the o be a dead failure—a nominal great principle of representation, and, in ma n y other matters, he went rather after than with the common sense and just demands of the public. There was a general opinion, too (the truth of which we shall not now pause to examine), that if his Lordship had been sincere in his attempt to admit the Jews to seats in Parliament, he might have carried that desire into execution by means of a resolution of the House of Commons, instead of trusting to an Act of Parliament which was ever certain of being rejected by the Upper House. Nor was the public particu larly enamoured of the absurdities of finance which Sir CHARLES WOOD, his Chancellor of the Exche quer, annually submitted to the consideration of Par liament and the contempt of the country. We be lieve that popular opinion is in favour of Lord Joan RUSSELL as a man, but more than in different—somewhat opposed, in fact—to his again assuming the reins of power. The time and the country require a Minister who will go a-head, who will lead on the van in the reform of abuses, in stead of loitering behind, here picking up a pebble, there plucking a wild-flower. A man of theory might have done passably-well, some years ago, but the temper ofithe time requires a man of action now. The passing of the Reform Bill, twenty years since, was evidently ta k en, by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as a de e d Upon w hich he might take a life-long repose, wher eas an energetic statesman would have considered it o nly as the reforms th e means of a series of national means to the great end of progres sive improvement , too phlegmati c for th e We suspect that Lord J OHN is quicken e d okeoprrent time. Advancing year. have not . his sensibilities, nor the slugg ishness t Igshness o f hi s na t ure. He has been content infused vitality into o e f late get content over each P e rli s _ with its m en tary Session as best he could,aa being got thr ou g h in any manner, lie appears h a ve forgotten t hat, in h is place, not to dvooo is t to o retard the movement of the great machine of Govern.. ment. When the Newcastle Reformers drank the health Rerssera. and the late Ministry, the toast fasLt was Lord jegil responded to by the Earl of CeaLI SLI , cer tainly one of the most popular, the most sincer e , th e most accomplished, an d the most amiable memb ers of that body. No Peer has shown more sincere gym_ patty with the masses — no statesman has more con sistently advocated popular opin i ons—no Minister ha s more completely identified him self with the wants , the wishes, the feelings of the m an y —no man, we are confident, has more honestly earned the regard and the confidence of the public. If the late Ministry top pled over, it was not through any defect or default of Lord CARLISLE. If public consistency and private character could have availed, the Administration, re taining Lord CARLISLE, would have retained office until now. He naturally looks to a return to office, Should his friends again come in. And he thus stated his opini on o f th e b as i s u p on w hi c h th e Whig dynasty can be restored :—" Gentlemen," said be, "in my own political experience, which now extends over a considerable time, though not over so long a said, Period quit e as t h a t o f M r . O RD, I have heard it o ften said,and he must have heard it s till oft ener, and too, with much positiveness and confi the guish e d , as a political party, were ex deuce, that_ Whi g s , whigginn,74 t a hilated, done for, smashed —and th at politicalcreed,as repudiated, spat upon, dead, and w true, is, that l uri ed. All I can say, if thi s i s of politicalhave seen marvellous instances resurre c ti on and political rejuvinescence. Nay more ; even now, when the Whig leaders, the subjects of your late toast, have been removed from LONDON, MON DAY office—when we are enduring the sway of a Tory and Protectionist, and perhaps more in will than in power, a reactionary Administration —I feel convinced in my own mind that the old Whig principle is still full of youthful sap and . vigour, and that, like th e oa k on Mount Algidos , it will continue to gather resources and vigour from each descending stroke. The party may be out of plac e—their ch ieftains may be out of P ei n power—they men ma choose to think it so—b u t Id o f ee l in may no longer be on the sunn y s id e o f mind assured that th e ir op i n i ons an d principles will pervade the con d uc t o f pu bli c a marshalling the mar c h o f I mper i a l Govern f the a w myi e r r s street , — , t o h v Govern ment." Precisely so; no Ministry can rule this country without carrying into full operation the principles of progres s . N eg l ect i ng t hi s, t h e late Administration fell to the ground. The rupture with Lord PALMERSTON accelerated this, no doubt, but the fatuity of the then Premier overthrew it. The Whigs, as a political party, have been greatly weakened by the inefficiency of the late Ministry, but Whiggism, as a creed, remains as it was. The difference is between the popular and the RUSSELL-GREY-ELLIOTT view of Whigism. The people, who are far from ungrateful, recollect that, since the death of Lord LIVERPOOL, many and im portant public measures have been conceded, chiefly owing to the exertions of the Whigs, whether out of office or in it. To this we chiefly owe the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, Roman Catholic Eman cipation, Parliamentary Reform, the abolition of Colo nial Slavery, the gradual amelioration of the Criminal Code, the improvement of the Civil Law, the reduction of the Tariff, the repeal of the Corn-laws, and other progressive reforms. Some of these, it is true, ema nated from Tory Administrations, but it was the Whig " screw" which caused them to come to any thing. And it is this same motive power, as " her MAJESTY'S Opposition," which may be expected to keep the present Ministry " up to the mar k," while they continue in power. It is curious, indeed, that the Whigs, in oppositon, have been the parents of more numerous and efficient reforms than they could p ass when in office. They will return to Downing-street, of course. It is simply a question of time—unless the Derbyites bid for continuance in power by surrendering the leading principles on which they have hitherto acted. Sooner or later, we shall again have the Whigs governing the country, and no man among the leaders will be more heartily welcomed back again than the Earl of CARLISLE. But, if the Whigs, untaught by the lessons and experience of the past (like the BouarsoNs, on the downfall of NAPOLEON), attempt to frame an Administration on the old "family party" principle, they cannot have, and they will not deserve, any thing like permanence in office. In 1846, Lord. JOHN RUSSELL committed the great error of loading his Cabinet with three of the GREY family. Of these, Sir GEORGE GREY, as Home Secretary, was the only efficient man. The financial blunders of Sir CHARLES WOOD will long be remembered, and the Kafir ',war (to say nothing of other just and general causes of discontent at misgovernment) marks the Colonial Administration of Earl GREY as inefficient, mischievous, and disgraceful. Lord DERBY, at all events, has determined that family connexion should not be the rock on which bis Ministry should split. What " the great Whig party" reproached him with (that eighteen new men were sworn in as Privy Councillors on one day), is precisely the thing which ought to tell most in his favour. His connexions are sufficiently numerous and extended to have afforded him, if he pleased, mainly to construct his Cabinet out of his own family —as his predecessor did, —but he eschewed that example, and followed that of Sir ROBERT PEEL, who (to his praise be it said) very remarkably avoided nepotism. The tradition that the members of two or three noble families are alone and best qualified to govern this country, has received " a heavy blow and great discouragement" in the formation of the present Ministry, and Lord CARLISLE knows, quite as well as we do, that no Whig Administration has the slightest chance of existence while that tradition remains. It is by Ability, and not Blood, that this country should be governed. Power is not the hereditary property of a few noble and wealthy families. No " tenth trans mitter of a foolish face" should necessarily be a Statesman. A. better principle ought to prevail—a principle which will give a chance of fair play to genius and to talent, and it u 414 prevail, to the dis comfiture of hereditary Cabinet Ministers, " When these Lords of a day are Forgotten eis fools, or remembered as worse." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Moniteur contains a long leading article on the subject of the addresses sent in by the Councils- General. It declares that the gratitude and confi dence generally expressed by them, and the desire manifested that Louis NAPOLEON'S Government should last, are only what ought to be expected from the eminent benefits which he has conferred on the country. A Toulouse journal mentions the death of Mme. LAFFARGE, whose trial, for poisoning her husband, created so great a sensation about a dozen years back. She died on the 7th instant, at the baths of Ussat, in the south of France. The French experimental squadron returned on the 2d instant to the Gulf of Naples, where it is to wait for further orders. The Moxiteur contains a decree by which the railway from Graissessac to Beaiers is conceded to MM. DELFOSSE, H. GRANIEB, AUGUSTE COUTTEL, and JOSEPH OISE, for 99 years, they undertaking without subvention from the state or guarantee of in terest to make a line of a single pair of rails. The object of the concession is to put the coal mines of Graissessac in communication with the southern coast and the intended new line of railway from Bor deaux to Cette. The Moniteur has the following : "By the senates consulte of the Ist of April, the Prince President has the enjoyment of the gardens and parks connected with the national palaces. The letting of the chairs and the ca‘e of the garden is one of the revenues of the Palace of the Tuileries. The Prince President has decided that a sum of 20,000 f., which is about the average product. be applied to the foundation and support of a Pension Fund and Mutual Aid Society for the workmen employed in the national factories— such as the Sevres, the Gobelins, and Beauvais. With the same object, an annual sum of 15,000 f. is placed at the disposition of the Mayor cf Versailles." The commission lately formed to devise the best means of putting down bandittism in Corsica held its first sitting on Friday, M. BONJEAN in the chair. After a statement of M. TONNET, concerning the present situation of the island, the chairman proposed to divide the commission into three sections, which was agreed to. One is to inquire into the improve ments to be effected in the organization of the public force, and in the surveillance to be observed, and, in fact, into the best means of at once checking the evil ; the second is to direct its attention to measures, the effect of which would not be observable so rapidly, such as opening roads, constructing public works, the amelioration of seaports, encouragement to be given to agriculture, &c.; and the third is to . inquire into the expenses to be incurred for carrying out such plans, and in what proportions the landowners, the State, and the communesshould contribute thereto. A general meeting was fixed for 4th October, at the hotel of the Minister of Police, to allow the reports of the sections to be read. minoritymany o f tioTulsaefob:;K; ;;HrtiiePresse publish a list of towns electors voonteldy in the dep t a h r e t s m e ents, in which the votes for the elec eleTcthoers M of un th ic e ipal Councils have formed a very small placesnum bleitrtleofmroergeisttehraendaetleencttohrso.f theln ever, Alat, exce p t ; 38 and at Pezenas, where there are 2,142 Constitutionnel majority of g t ave their votes.

At the close of the diocesan synod at Cambrai the Archbishop read to his clergy a letter from Car dinal WIsEMAN relative to the subscription for Mr. NEwmAN. His Eminence estimates the costs payabl e by Mr. NEWMAN in his defence against Dr. ACHILLI'S prosecution at 12,0001. The letter states that the resources of the English Catholics, exhausted in great part by the wants of their churches now rising up i n all directions, are wholly insufficient to meet this de.

The news is unim portant, and possesse s b u t littl e nove l ty. Th e F a ll tra d e was . brisk and genera ll y remunerative pr i ces were realised for imports; the manufacturers were, however, entering largely into competition with British textile fabrics, and particularly in the lower qualities of goods. The cotton and corn markets were inactive, the large crops of both thcse staples tending to depress prices. The money market was very easy, and the rate of ex change. wa s h ar dly so fi rm a t 1101 t o The relative position of the exportations and the importations during the week ending on the 27th August was as follows: Importations ... dolls. 3,088,311 Exportations ••• ••• 1,463,933 Excess of ital. orts ... dolls. 1,624,378 The Californian advices report business to be dull, but with respect to the mines the prospects were highly sa tisfactory. An arrival of 2,200,000 dollars of gold dust had taken place at New York, and 2,275,000 dollars more is stated to be en route by the Ohio. We are inclined to think that the latter is erroneous, for upon reference to the dates it will be found that they are both of the 31st July from San Francisco. The Teviot brings later advices from Buenos Ayres and Brasil. The state of trade in the former was unsa tisfactory, in consequence of intestine disturbances, which, however, were stated to have been quelled at the latest dates. The exports were decreasing, in con sequence of the opening of a trade in cattle with Bolivia and the other Republics on the frontiers of Buenos Ayres, which was of a more profitable nature. From Rio a decline in the value of Coffee is noticed in consequence of English and American advices being un favourable. The import markets were enormously over stocked, and sales could only be effected at a large re duction in the value. At Bahia and Pernambuco there was but little doing, but the reports relative to the Sugar and Cot crops were satisfactory, the weather having been favourable for the manufacture of the ono and the preparation of the other commodity. The Brazilian Government was making most earnest t. yours to put an end to the slave traffic, and the Legis lature had voted eight contos for the purchase of steamers for the purpose of watching the coast.

The Gazette des Postes of the Ist states that the last declaration of Prussia to the Darmstadt coalition is very unsatisfactory to Austria, and that the Im perialinformed the Cabinets of the coalition Cabinet has that the p ropos iti ons o f P russ i a h av i ng no solid basis, cannot be accepted by it in their present form. The new Austrian loan was opened on the 9th by voluntary subscription, and will be closed on the 18th inst.

It is stated by the Prussian Gazette of Berlin, on authority of a letter from Vienna of the 6th, that the Earl of WESTMORELAND has been to Florence, on the MATHER. affair, and that, after staying a few days in Italy, he was to re t urn t o Vi enn a with Count NESSELRODE. The King of SWEDEN arrived at Mannheim on the sth from Munich, end embarked the following day on board the Concordia steamer to proceed down the Rhine. The Chambers of Wurtemberg were adjourned on the 6th, after having voted the budget for 1852-53. It was adopt e d i n t h e Fi rst Ch am b er b y 29 votes t o 2, and in the other by 63 votes to 16. A Vienna l et t er o f th e 6th s t a t es th a t a ll the inno vations recently introduced in the regime of convents are to be set aside, and that the Prince Archbishop of PRAGUE and the Bishop of GRJETZ are to make what reforms may be necessary, subject to the approval of the Pope. The Austrian Cabinet having, says the Prussian Gazette, complained to the Belgian Government of the insulting treatment received by General HAvNAu at Brussels, the Belgian Ministers have just sent a note stating that an investigation has been commenced to discover the offenders, and that they will be punished. The Prussian Gazette contains the following curi ous statement :—" A criminal of quite a peculiar de scription h as b een d e li vere d up to us by a foreign government. H e h a d es tabli s hed himself in one of the most frequented sea-ports as a manufacturer of forged passp or t s, an d h e sold his counterfeit articles so che a p th at they genera ll y cos t lit t l e mo r e than the amount of fees on a bonafide passport, and he forged visas upon passports with extraorninary skill. On arrest upwards of thirty seals were found in his pas - session, including those of the Ministry of the Inte rior, the Presidency of Police, the Kammergericht, the Government of Potsdam, &c. All these seals were engraved in a peculiar manner upon slate, and gave excellent black impressions. Unfortunately, the punishment for this species of forgery is very light." ITALY. Some of the Piedmonse journals having published statements of desertions and other symptoms of dis organisation in the new Papal army, the Giornale d i Roma, the official organ, declares that they are utterly unfounded. It is stated that the Sardinian Minister of War, General DELL& MARMORA, will proceed to congratu late the PRINCE PRESIDENT of France on his visit to the south of France. The trial ofG — UER AZZI at Florence proceeds at a very slow pace. It is thought the judgment will not be given before November.

He has accepted, as we understand, a splendid engagement to give his entertain ments in the United States, where he will indubitably meet with the measure of success he merits. As a histrionic celebrity of long standing, Mr. Bann will considerably en large the ideas of our Transatlantic brethren on theatrical matters in the old country, and he will probably import an amusing budget of information wherewith to regale us, on his return from the ur - estern hemisphere, whither and whence we wish him a safe and pleasant voyage. SIR JAMES GRAHAM AND THE GAME LAWS.` The following circular has been addressed to the tenantry on the Netherby estate :—" Sir James Graham, unsolicited, has pleasure in notifying to his tenantry that they have his per mission to hunt and kill hares and rabbits on their several and respective farms, between the hours of sunrise and sun set—the time for killing hares being limited to the usual period, from 2 7th September to 27th February. Neither guns nor snares to be used. This permission will be continued from the present date until further notice. During its con tinuance Sir James Graham cofidently expects and trusts that such a concession on his part will induce all his tenants, by themselves and their servants, to preserve the winged game on their respective farms to the utmost of their power, for the amw,etnent of himself, his fainily, and friends. He hopes that they will cordially co-operate with him in putting down the baneful practice of poaching; and would suggest that every tenant, act in g up to the spirit of the obligati on contained in his agreement, should, when engaging his ser vants, make it a con dition that any unfaithfulness discovered to thepreservation on their part, in respect _ . of game, will be considered sufficient ground for immediate dismissal."
