THE CAPACITIES OF THE NEGRO LITERATURE. MURRAY'S HOME AND COLONIAL LI BRARY. No. XXXVllL—Journeys across the Pampas.; By Sir Francis B. Head. Circumstances of a calamitous nature have latterly attracted the attention of Europeans to the republics of South America; and from the intelligence acquired in consequence of that attention, the interest of man kind has been aroused in behalf the inhabitants of those magnificent and extraordinary regions. From the isthmus of Panama down to the straits of Magellan, from the eastward extremity of Cape St. Roque to the westward extremity of Cape Blanco, that continent presents a con tinuous surface of verdure, developed either in the shape of gigantic forests, of cultivated plantations, of arable land producing a most remunerative crop, of savanahs, or prairies, or what are here peculiarly called the flowery pampas, ex tending nine hundred miles from the shores of he Atlantic to the base of the Cordilleras. This beautiful and singular level, occupying so large a portion of La Plata, is thus strangely divided. After starting from the metro politan city of Buenos Ayres, the first region of the pampas is profusely strewed with clover and thistles for one hundred and eighty miles ; the second region is remarkable for its carpetting of long grass, and stretches further inland four hundred and fifty miles ; the third region, which proceeds thence to the feet of the Andes, is plentifully covered with stunted trees and dwarf shrubs. The alternation of the crops, and the marvellous transformation of appear ance occurring periodically in the first region, is so remarkable in itself, and is so picturesquely described by Sir Francis Head in the very commencement of his miniature narrative, that we shall pilfer one paragraph therefrom : "In winter the leaves of the thistles are large and luxuriant, and the whole surface of the country has the rough appearance of a turnip field. The clover in this season is extremely rich and strong; and the sight of the wild cattle, grazing in full liberty on such pasture, is very beautiful. In spring; the clover has vanished, the leaves of the thistles have extended along the ground, and the country still looks like a rough crop of turnips. In less than a month the change is most extraordinary ; the whole region becomes a luxuriant wood of enormous thistles, which have suddenly shot up to a height of ten or eleven feet, and are all in full bloom. The road or path is hemmed in on both sides ; the view is completely obstructed ; not an animal is to be seen ; and the stems of the thistles are so close to each other, and so strong, that, independent of the prickles with which they are armed, they form an impenetrable barrier. The sudden growth of these plants is quite astonishing; and though it would be an unusual misfor tune in military history, yet it is really possible that an invading army, unacquainted with this country, might be imprisoned by these thistles before they had time to escape from them. The summer is not over before the scene undergoes another rapid change; the thistles sud• denly lose their sap and verdure, their heads droop, the leaves shrink and fade, the stems become black and dead, and they remain rattling in the breeze one against the other, until the violence of the pampero or hurricane levels them to the ground, where they rapidly decom pose and disappear—the clover rushes up, and the scene is again verdant." Accustomed as we are to our more northerly climate, and to the more homely . and less surprising landscapes of England, it is eminently refreshing to be transported in imagination to a country presenting features of a character so peculiarly and pleasantly dissimilar. In the present little volume, of a most unassuming nature, we are afforded a glimpse of those remote scenes, and glimpses of their population, and glimpses of travelling adventure, and glimpses of mercantile secrets, all jumbled together, it is true, in most bewildering disorder, but natural, keen, ob servant, to the life. The author apologises for the scrambling quality of his chapters, after having al ready assured us in his title-page that the contents were nothing more ostentatious than " rough notes." He had no reason whatever for tendering any such apology. Every reader will feel thankful for the carelessness of the style, sometimes even for its actual slovenliness. They will recognise in the broken sentences and occasionally in the scarcely coherent paragraphs, the authentications of t he sketches they embody. Some pages we could almost con jecture had been penned by Mr. Alfred Jingle, of No Hall, Nowhere. For example :—" We galloped across the plain—forty-five miles—each at our best pace—proceeded straggling, like the wounded Curiatii." It must have bean Jingle, however, in his most graphic temperament, in such a tempera ment as that in which he described himself to have been to Mr. Tupman, when he (Jingle) wrote an epic poem and fought in a Spanish insurrection during one and the same day—" whizz ! bang !—another idea—into wine-shop—pop him down, &c." Sir Francis informs us, in the introduction, that during the South - American - mining - company - phobia, which some years ago set every one almost as, mad as the railway speculation did last year, he himself had the sole management of one of those companies; that he was suddenly induced to take charge of an association to work the gold and silver mines- of the provinces of Rio de la Plata; and that in consequence of that abrupt arrangement he started a few days afterwards from Falmouth and landed at Buenos Ayres. These circumstances, while they fully account for the author's journey thither, evince the fact of his being a man of impulse, and thereby prepare us for the sparkling, but eccentric, descriptions which resulted from the excursion. Sir Francis Head is, from the peculiarities of his temperament, an admi rable delineator of the scenery in the vicinity of which he was a temporary sojourner. And among the happiest of his delineations of external life we may instance his account of the Pampas Indians, the aboriginal inhabitants of South America. Their living wholly, upon mare's flesh ; their occasionally indulging in the luxury of a bath of mare's blood to their hair; their skimming over their pampas continually onhorseback, and never on foot—every little characteristic is caught up by the observant eye of the traveller, and recorded with a faithful pencil. As he is most credible, however, in the relation of externals, the author is most incredible in his remarks upon the moral and intellectual features of South ,American society ; he is, as already ob served, a being of impulses—he looks there through a distorting medium, and pourtrays in caricatura. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Powrsatorrrer, Nov. 19.—The two good service pen sions. which became vacant in the Royal Marine force by the promotion of Colonels Lawrence and Nicolls to the rank of Major-General in the army, have been conferred upon Colonels M'Callum, of Portsmouth, and Menzies, of the Chatham division. The services of these veterans arc thus recorded in Allen's New Navy List : "J. M‘Callum, First-Lieutenant, serving in the Dreadnought at Trafalgar, and in the Endymion at the passage of the Dardanelles, and destruction of the Turkish squadron at Point Pasquies, 1807. " C. Menzies, First-Lieutenant, and commanded a de tachment of marines; landed at Port Jackson, during' an insurrection of convicts, 1804, and was mainly instru mental in restoring tranquillity in the colony ; served in the boats of the Minerva at the capture of five luggers protected by a battery in Finisterre Bay ; was in the barge at the capture of the Spanish privateer Buena Dicha, of one long gun and 26 men ; commanded a boat at the capture of a Spanish gun-boat at Carril ; and commanded the marines at the stormiag of Fort Finil terre, 1806, served in boats at the capture of the Spanish privateer San Josef, and landed and made pri soner the Spanish commodore ; was in command of the marines at the capture of the Fort Guardia, and was slightly wounded in cutting out the French corvette Moselle in Basque roads ; served at the taking of Fort Camarinas and gun•boats, and was repeatedly engaged in boat actions and against batterie s . Gazetted 1806." We take the services of the following officers appointed to command from the same excellent source : " Commander V. A. Masaingberd (1842), appointed to the Alecto, vice Austen promoted ; was Senior Lieu tenant of the Blenheim in China. " Commander E. C. T. D'Eyncourt (1841), to the Comus, vice Thompson, promoted ; was Lieutenant of the Calliope, and wounded in the operations against Canton, and was at the capture of that city. " Commander H. M. Ellicomb (1841), to the Rolla, vice Simpson ; was Lieutenant of the Ringdove on the coast of Spain, and employed at the sieges of Bilbca during the civil war in 1836 and 1837. " Lieutenant Rivers (1841), to the Nautilus, vice M'Donnel, promoted ; was mate of the Calliope and senior Lieutenant of the Sulphur during the principal operations against the cities and coasts of China in 1841 and 1842, including the capture of the height 4 of Can ton, when be served on shore with the army and was wounded. Officially mentioned on several occasions." Lieutenant Thurburn (1841), first of the Harlequin, is appointed to command the Griffon, vice Wilmot, promoted. Lietenant Western (1841), is appointed to command the Jackal, vice Pasco, promoted. The Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain Hope, was at Buenos Ayres on the 11th of September, blockading. Her marines were landed and quartered in Victoria Barracks. It was expected there would be a break up of the squadron when Admiral Inglefield left for China, to take the chief command on that station, but the Fire brand expected to remain in the river Plate until a more settled state of affairs in that quarter. There is no truth whatever in the statement by a con temporary that every other port on the lower deck of the Vengeance is to be caulked. The Crocodile troop ship, Commander Lowe, was un docked to-day, and the Resistance docked in her room. The Lively navy-lighter arrived to-day from Plymouth with stores. WOOLWICH, Nov. 19.—The Centaur steam-frigate of 1,270 tons burthen, built at Portsmouth from a design of Sir William Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy, and fitted with engines of 540-horse power, by Boulton, Watt, and Co., was tried down the river to day to ascertain the working order of her engines. Tho Centaur left her moorings at Blackwell under the charge of Commander Smith of the William and Mary yacht shortly after 12 o'clock, and proceeded down the river under the direction of Master-Commander Allen of the Black Eagle, answer ing remarkably well to her helm, and affording evi dence that her engines were in excellent condition, and well adjusted, as there was not the slightest appearance of heating during the preliminary experimental trial. Amongst the officers present to witness the working of the engines and capabilities of the vessel, were Captain Sir George Otway, Bart., Captain Knox, Captain Jones, Captain Pleydell Bouvcrie (of the Royal Navy), Mr. Pontter (of the Trinity Company), Mr. Lloyd (chief engineer of the Woolwich Dockyard), Mr. Samuds, Mr. Wigram, Mr. Mylne, Mr. Dangleish, and Mr. Brown (of the firm of Boulton, Watt, and Co.), with numerous other scientific gentlemen. The engines were under the charge of Mr. Taylor, . first engineer in the Royal Navy, and on starting made 18 revolutions per minute, which was considered a fair average speed with wheels 28 fret in diameter and a stroke of six feat in the engines. As the vessel proceeded down the river she acquired a greater degree of speed, making from 19i to 20 revolu tions per minute, and gliding through the water with the greatest ease and steadiness. The trip being merely of a preliminary nature, Mr. Lloyd did not calculate her speed at the measured mile in Long-reach, but it was ascertained by a private time-piece that she performed that distance in 6 minutes 18 seconds, although not at full speed. The Centaur is 200 feet long by 37 feet broad, and strongly built. The engines are of the most substantial construction, and finished with great nicety, as was shown by the excellence of their working on their first trial. They are similar in principle, with improvements, to those of the Virago steamer, fitted by the same firm. Some idea may be formed of the strength of the various parts, when it is stated that the ceutre sha f t alone weighed thirteen tons when it left the forge, being con structed of malleable iron, and beautifully finished. The cylinders are 85i inches in diameter, and the working pressure to-day 61bs. to the square inch. The engine room is well ventilated, and access to every part of the engines obtained in the easiest manner. There are six boilers, which can be worked together or seperately, according to the quantity of steam required, and a very great improvement has been effected in lettering the stopcocks of the boilers, such as F. for front boiler, M. B. for middle boiler, to enable any stoker or other person to turn off or on the proper boiler without the chance of mistake. There is also a waste steam-engine for work ing the pumps, and every appliance to render the engines perfect. The vessel turned at Greenhithe, and, on arriving at Woolwich, was attached to moorings along side the coal depot. She has been in charge of Mr. William Grant, her carpenter, since she was brought round from Portsmouth to be fitted with her engines. The Avon steam-vessel, Captain Denham, arrived to day, and while her steam was up went up the river to tow the Growler steam-vessel to Woolwich. The Gorgon arrived at Woolwich shortly after twelve o'clock, and will be paid off here. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS. Nov. 18.—T. D. Conconi, clerk's assistant, to the Per seus; W. H.

RACE. 14 Among the negro race, with all their disadvan ta g es, 4 ' l many examples may be adduced which prove their intel • ligence, ingenuity, and bravery, and indicate that under other circumstances they would not be of that inferior grade which they are now said to be. Among theiseex-.. amples there is Toussaint L'Ouverture, the Napo eon or X'' the blacks. He has written his name in history. There " 4 ' is also Lislet, a negro of the Isle of France, e,whowas named Corresponding Me mber of the French Institute, J" on account of his mete orolo g ical observations. An negro, likewise, named Hann ibal, distinguished himself as . a Id" colonel of artillery in the R ussian service. The Ameri can United State of Maryland has produced two emi "c nent blacks. The first of these was named Richard Ban neker, the author of an almanack, and celebrated for his • astronomical calcalations. The other was named Fuller, a nd was an extraordinary example of quickness of reck oning. Being suddenly asked, for the purpose of trying his powers, how many seconds a person had lived who was 27 years and some months old, he gave the answer 47' in a minute and a h alf. On reckonin g it u p after him, rc-- a different result was obtained. " Have you not for -7 gotten the leap years ?" said the ne,gro. The omission was supplied, and the result of the sum then agreed with his answer. Thomas Jenkins, the son of an African king, became a stipendiary Scotch schoolmaster, in structed himself in Latin and Greek, and finished his studies at college. Lott Cary, a Virginian slave, in structed himself; made himself useful in business, saved money, purchased his own liberty and that of his 4- ` family, and afterwards assisted in founding the • African Colony of liberated blacks, at Cape Mon ' serado, of which settlement he was elected vice ."... agent. Phillis Wheatley, a young ne g ro g irl, a I . ''' . slave at Boston, manifested much talent as a poet ess : • she also translated from the Latin. Paul Cuffee, another • Boston slave, accumulated a considerable prop ert y b y trading in erchant vessels, manned with blacks, and ' l ' - ` also distinguished himself as a friend of the civilization ""' of Africa. The chiefs of the " Amisted Captives," as " they were called, whose story is, mentioned at length 2 . 4 iu the American work of that worthy philanthropist, Joseph Sturge, appear also to have been intelligent cha racters. But we must not forget to mention Placido, the ::* 4 bard of Cuba. This negro patriot and poet, although less celebrated,was of a like spirit to Toussaint L'Ouver ture. Delighted by his verses, the young men of Havannah subscribed together, and purchased his release from bondage. Placid°, however, not only thought but -"*.- felt. HA desired to emancipate his race. In 1844, '`-•- he was arrested, and executed, as the chief of a con - • spiracy formed in Cuba, for the purpose of arousing an insurrection of the negroes. On his way to the 1 place of execution he held a crucifix in his hand, and repeated aloud a solemn prayer in verse, calling upon God to rend the veil of calumny which was cast around him, declaring he was transparent be fore the Divine, but ready to submit if it was his will that men should blaspheme his dust. At the fatal time he exclaimed, " Farewell, world ! there is no pity for me. Soldiers, fire !" His body was pierced with • five balls, but remaining unkilled, he pointed to his heart and cried, " Fire here P and fell dead, as at the instant two balls entered his breast. Thus perished •Placido.—People's Journal. REDUCTION of the DUTY on TEA. The Committee of the Liverpool Association for the Reduction of the Duty on Tea have issued the following tract, being their first publication : " Heavy Duties on articles of such general use, and ap proaching so closely to the character of necessaries, as Tea, Coffee, Sugar, &c., are destructive of the comforts of the eople."—YoutErr ScnorE. COURT CIRCULA The Queen and Prince Albert walked early yesterday in the pleasure grounds of Osborne House. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice rode on ponies and walked yesterday in the drives of Osborne House. Her Royal Highness the Princess Helena was taken an airing yesterday. The Earl of Morley, Lord-in-Waiting to her Majesty, arrived at Osborne House on Wednesday afternoon. There was no addition to the Royal dinner circle on Wednesday evening. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of lent arrived at ,Cashiobury Parks, Herta, yesterday afternoon fr om her residence, Frogmore House, Windsor, on a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, went from Kew, yesterday morn ing, to Cashiobury Park, Harts, the residence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and paid a visit to her Majesty and her Royal Highness the Princess Careline of Hesse. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at Gloucester House. The Mayor of Sunderland and Mr. Alderman Moore, of Sunderland, had an interview with Sir George Grey, at the Home. office, yesterday. Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial office, from the Governor of the Mauritius. Mr. Hildyanl, M.P., and Mrs. Hildyard, have arrived at Panama's Hotel, Belgrave-street, from Newark. THE BANK DIRECTORS. Some curiosity had been excited, in the moneyed circles, as to what might be the result of the weekly meeting of the Bank directors held yesterday morning. So much discussion has taken place during the week, on the snbject of the exchanges, as bearing upon the mone• tart concerns of the country, that a possibility was felt to exist of some alteration being made in the rate of in terest. The Court of Directors appear, however, to par ticipate in no great degree in the apprehensions of par ties who have been looking forward to the rapid disap pearance of their metallic treasure. It is true that the late advices from the United States have spoken of large shipments of grain and other produce for the English markets, and of a fall in the exchange. The premium on bills has been quoted at 61 per cent., which would be equal to 11 per cent. against this currency, but that was by no means the current rate of the day. First. class bills commanded, at New York, a premium of 71 to per cent., a rate equal. nearly, to the par value, and it is well known that there is no general market for any other description. But even were the lower rate named the prevailing one, the margin would be barely sufficient to cover the charges of transport upon specie shipped from England. At this season of the year, when the more active operations of commerce are sus pended, there is always a little drooping of the ex changes, and, at the present time there is, as regards the United States, a greater cause for such a state of things than common. The American merchants are willing to pause in their transactions until the effect of the new tariff, coming into operation next month, can be seen ; but that there will in a few weeks be large remittances to England in payment for goods shipped from London and Liverpool, in execution of the spring orders from America, is unquestionable. A little, and only a little, specie may, it is thought, be taken in ex change for provisions and cotton ; but, contrary to the general idea, the supplies have this year proved short of the ordinary quantities. The Custom-house returns have been repeatedly brought forward in evidence of the assumed increase, but, on reference to the calcula tions of those engaged in the trade, and who may be believed to be best informed upon the subject, it is found that there has been actually a falling off. The exchanges on the continental cities havi, so far, been maintained at a point altogether favourable to this country, and, although there has been some decline in the quotations, the fall would 'seem at length to have reached its limit. On the last post day (Tuesday) bills were not much in demand, and the sellers had to content themselves with the previous rates. The Bank Board have, no doubt, taken a full and fair review of the various circumstances here alluded to, and, as there is really now no specula tion going on to create uneasiness, hence it is, in all pro bability, that they broke up to-day at an earlier hour than they have been accustomed to do—a proof that there could be no very troublesome matter before them for consideration.—Post, City Article. SURREY THEATRE. Shakspere's tragedy of Macbeth was produced at this theatre last night, for the purpose of introducing to a Surrey audience, and for the first time to the stage, a gentleman who delights to designate himself Mr. Bayn tun Rolt. Whether this be his real name or not we stop not to inquire, but of this we are certain , t hat Nature li never intended him for the stage, or the stage for him ; and, if he will take a few words of advice from us, the sooner he gives up all notions with respect to it the better. Macbeth is . a murderer, but Mr. Bayntun Rolt is a wir d erer of a murderer. There is no one redeeming quality in his acting, and the repetition of the character of Macbeth by him on Saturday next was announced with marked disapprobation, by a house consisting evidently of many of his friends. It is an old adage " that the least said the soonest mended;" and acting upon this motto, we leave Mr. Bayntun Bolt and his Macbeth to the appreciation of the public, premising only that those who doubt our statement, would do well, in order to make themselves " competent persons," to criticise on our remarks, by witnessing Mr. Bayntun Rolt's per formance of Macbeth on Saturday. On that occasion we hope and trust that Mr. Bayntun Bolt will better understand and more truly depict the character of Mac beth, as drawn by the immortal Shakspere. DEATH OF SIR DIGORY FORREST, KNT.—We lave to announce the demise of the above venerable officer, who expired on the 15th instant, at his residence in Louisa-terrace, Exmouth. Sir Digory was the son of -the late Austen Forrest, Esq., storekeeper to her, Ma . - jesty's Victualling-office at Plymou th. He was born Fi 1765, and married the eldest daughter of Captain George Talbot, R.N. Having been appointed secretary to Admiral Macbride at the commencement of the .last war, he subsequently held the same office under three commanders-in-chief, as also to Sir William Young and Sir Robert Calder at Plymouth, until the close of the -war. He was in the Ardent at the battle of Copen hagen, also at the battle of Trafalgar, the capture of Demerara, St. Lucia, and Trinidad. Sir Digory received the honour of knighthood from George IV. (then Prince Regent) at Carlton House. The deceased has been for ;many years past a m ag i s t ra te for the county of Devon. , I:u SEE to ° be thevS O n a ew A b N i D she M p oAtNfhe seeis —Thu oi Rev . Tdhcofeese, vacant \ J.

It con tained twenty-five notices of intended applications for railway Bills next session. TIIE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20, 184 P EXPERIENCE IN A PRIVATE LUNATIC ASYLUM. (From the Lancet.) - A correspondent at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who has authenticated his communication with his name and address, has forwarded to us a communication, in which a statement of facts relative to hi,: personal experience of confinement in a lunatic asylum, is prefaced by some very correct and judicious remarks on private establish ments for insane persons, instigated by the painful ac• counts relating to Haydock Lodge, which have appeared in print. He justly condemns such establishments as " markets trafficking in humanity in its worst condition, in most of which those prudent, judicious, and rational means which ought to be adopted for -the recovery of the patients, are entirely and designedly neglected ;'' nay, he " fears that other means, more deadly and inex plicable, are resorted to in some of them for the purpose of confirming the complaint, and continuing them under alienation." He proceeds :—" From my own experi ence, I judge that those institutions are nut calculated to restore the patient labouring under mental affliction. Every intelligent person is aware that diseases of the mind are as various, and operate as differently, a:, the diseases of the body. Consequently, different modes of treatment should be adopted in different cases ; but instead of this important and salutary caution being ex ercised, one uniform course is pursued towards all. I am, Sir," he says, " in humble circumstances of life, and not able to convey my sentiments with the clearness which better educated men might do ; but my object in addressing you is good. I was my self confined in one of these places. About seventeen years ago. I was visited with an affliction of the mind, arising from nerv ous affection and extreme bodily weakness. After six months' confinement I was • restored. About twelve months ago I had another attack of the same complaint, and was only two days ill ; but after my wife had con sulted a surgeon, he without using any means for my recovery, at once signed a certificate for me to be sent to an asylum. But Nature has again rallied, and I am now in the bosom of my family. To detail all that I could say . with reference to that asylum would be long and tedious for a communication of this kind, but I am ready and anxious t o give any information on the subject that may be required. When I was taken into the asylum ' I was extremely ill, and, being a little talkative, I was handled very roughly. No attention was paid to my bodily weakness. I was every now and then put into a dark cell, but before that was effected the keepers had to try their strength, and appeared much gratified that they could master me ; and in that way I was knocked about for five weeks before being allowed to see any of my friends, who had repeatedly applied to visit me, but were refused. Good reasons there were for the refusal ; for my face had been cut, and my eyes were swollen up and thoroughly blackened. I had undergone the most excruciating suffering. This was not the sort of treatment my case required. It was medical treatment that I wanted, but that was never thought of. If judicious means had been taken by my surgeon, there would have been no neces sity for consigning me to a place of this kind for my recovery. The most effectual cure for my case occurred by accident: I was struck at very violently, and hit over the nose, when the profusion of blood that flowed gave me extraordinary relief. This clearly shows that if I had been properly dealt with my c omplaint would soon have been removed. " With reference to the conduct of the viiitiug magis trates it is not my wish to speak in the slightest degres disrespectfully, but I think that they err in placing too much confidence in the integrity of those who have the management of these places. " I will give you am illustration of the benefit that the patients may expect from their visitations. Of course, everything is made ready against the day appointed for their coming. They visited once during each time of my confinements. They came into the ward, or room, where I was (a sort of second-class place, at the chug( of 11. ls. per week each patient), accompanied by the house-surgeon and two keepers. There were twelve patients in the room. The visitors passed through without speaking a word, or making an attempt to ascertain whether any of the patients were in a fit state to have their liberty. And in this way they would go through the whole asylum. Now, Sir, this is the sort of vigilance that the magistrates of Newcastle (aces cise over these places. No wonder that selfish " re spectable" men act as they think proper toward= their charges. To one case I particularly call your at tention; it is that of a person named Robert —, why. has been confined for four years, and who, by industry and carefulness, has realised a very handsome inccine amounting to about 300/. a year, but who I take upon myself to affirm is in perfect health, a man of great in telligence and activity of mind , married to a second wife. having two sons by his former wife. But every person related to him appears to be indifferent to the situation of the man, though some cf them have his money to live upon, the patient seeming to me to be, under the present system, under certain confinement for life—a horrible case! This unhappy man has made several applications to the magistrates, and other persons, to get him out, but some peculiar influence is too much for them all. Are the parties in power afraid to let him out, lest he should bring facts before the public that would ruin the establishment? I will state a few circumstances, which deserve particular notice. On the evening previous to my leaving the asylum, I was sent for into tho doctor's private room, and there I found him and the house surgeon sitting together. They requested me to take a chair, when Dr. - said, ' Now, Mr. -, you are quite well, and ready to go out.' The surgeon then said, • Mr. -, we wish to know what you and Mr. -- (the person to whom I allude) have been talking so much about in the garden to-day. Has he not been requesting you to use means when you go out to get him out of the asylum? Can you tell us two or three things that he requested you to do?' Perceiving their object, I avoided answer ing. So they said, 'Do you think -- well , a nd fit to go out ? ' I waived the question, and said that he was anxious to see his sons. They said, ' You are not to in terfere in his case; you have nothing to do with what be has been instructing you in.' They then both talked a great deal about his still being unfit to go out, and strongly urged me not to say one word about him; but I made them no promises. Of course Mr. had been, during the day, in the garden, very fervently im pressing upon my mind the wretchedness of his condi tion, and the hopelessness of his ever obtaining his liberty ; and I assured him that I would do all that I could to get him out. He said 'ltis my little property that has been the cause of all my present misery. 1 comforted him by telling him that I would use every means to bring his case before proper persons, which I did, as soon as I came out, but found my efforts availed nothing. I . applied to one visiting magistrate, who treated me with great contempt for 'interfering in a case which Dr. considered a bad one,' saying that Dr. was fully competent to manage his own affairs, and that it was out of my province to meddle with matters of that kind. But I feel satisfied that Mr. is a fit person to have his liberty, and I entreat you, Sir, to use your great power anl , influence in behalf of this cruelly o ppressed individual.

A committee of the shareholders in the Richmond line have resolved on presenting Mr. Chadwick, their chair man, with a service of plate, as a testimony of the sense they entertain of his service. A GOOD RESOLVE.—The Great Western have given notice of their intention to apply to Parliament for powers to erect bridges over the line where the public roadways :rocs on a level. CONTRACTS FOR Woßxs.—The London and North- Western, and Stour Valley Companies, have this week entered into contracts for works connected with the new central station at Birmingham, and executing the cut tings, and laying the rails of the Stour Valley line be tween Birmingham and Wolverhampton. The terms are such as will enable both companies to complete the works at considerably less than the Parliamentary estimate. To enable the Stour Valley Company to open early, the London and North-Western are to lend a supply of loco motives and other plant. The Norfolk Company are about to erect a slaughter house at their Trowse Station, about a mile from the Norwich Cattle market, for the purpose of slaying the bullocks there, and taking the slain meat, instead of the live bullocks, to the London market. This (says a cor respondent) is to obviate the complaints so constantly made of the beasts being bruised so much upon the rail in their journey. THE PROPOSED CENTRL TELEGRAPH.—The original intention of fixing the central subterranean telegraph office in the Strand, now in course of formation under the streets of the metropolis, has been abandoned, for what is conceived to be a more suitable centre, the Royal Exchange. A large portion of that edifice, the north-western, adjacent to the captain's room at Lloyd's is available for the purpose. The Gresham Committee and the authorities at Lloyd's have offered every assistance to carry out the undertaking. Workmen are now actively engaged laying the pipes down, in con nexion with the telegraph to Gosport and Portsmouth, rid the South-Western Railway. It is expected to be completed to the city in the course of a fortnight. The attention of the Company's engineer will then be directed in uniting the Eastern Counties by the same means. On this line of route they are hourly " talking" with Yarmouth, Norwich, Cambridge, Ely, Peterborough, Blisworth ; on the other line with Colchester and the intermediate towns, and it is rapidly being extended to Ipswich, Bury St. Edmunds, and Stowmarket. Prepara tions are also being made for extending the South- Eastern telegraph, in conjunction with those above gamed, to the general termini. The railway companies have no control over, nor do they derive any profit from these extensions. The Electric Telegraph Company have the entire management. SOUTH-EASTERN COMPENSATION CASE.—Yesterday a jury was empanelled before the City Recorder and Alderman Johnson, at the adjourned Southwark Ses sions, and at which a bill of indictment was preferred to try a compensation case case of " the Carpenters Com pany, a. the South Eastern." Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Bodkin, were counsel for the claimants, Mr. Alexander and Mr. Mdreweather for the defendants. Mr. Chambers, in stating the case, said the property in question is situated in Bermondsey-street, and was be queathed to the Carpenters' Company nearly two hundred years ago, and the property comprised a public-house (the Cross Keys) and three small tene ments, and which was held by the present tenant on an unexpired term of lease of fourteen years, subject to twenty guineas per annum rent, and which was now re quired by the South-Eastern Railway, in order to widen a portion of the Greenwich Railway, for the purposes of their scheme, and the sum claimed by the trustees of the Carpenters' Company was 2,730/., and the sum offered by the railway company was 1,3001. Several public house auctioneers were called as witnesses in behalf of the claimants, who stated that upon their calculation the premises were worth in present money 3,2001., and that the sale being a compulsory one, the plaintiffs were en titled to a further remuneration of twenty-five per cent. on the amount of the purchase money, and which, in ad dition to the value of the premises was 2,730/. Mr. Alexander addressed the jury for the defendants, and witnesses were called who estimated the full value of the premises in question at 1,250/.—Verdict 1,8001. ORLEANS TO BORDEAUX RAILWAY.—The whole line between Orleans and Tours (says our Paris corres pondent), the c ommunications ou which had been sus pended owing to the late inundations, are now again open to the public. On Friday a goods train of twenty eight waggons, filled with cattle, merchandise, &c., passed over the whole line without the slightest hinder ante. Baron de Richemont, one of the directors, Mr. Harrison, the head of the locomotive department, and Mr. Woodhouse, the head engineer, accompanied this train, in order to ascertain by personal inspection that everything was in perfect order for the conveyance of the public. BISHOPSTOXE AND SALISBURY BRANCH OP THE SOUTH-WESTERN. BISHOPSTOXE. Another serious slip of earth, says our correspondent, ou this branch, took place yesterday, to a greater extent than the one which occurred about three weeks ago, and within a short distance of the same. It was fortunate no men were at work near the place at the time. There is not the least 2robability of the opening taking place on the Ist of December next, as has been reported ; nor is it likely it will be in a fit state for traffic for six months from the present time. To remove the carried-in earth cannot be accomplished in less than three month a, even if the weather permits ; but should wet and frost suc ceed, many apprehend further fallings in, from the nature of the soil in some parts of the digging. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE AND ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. PABSTON, WEDNESDAY.—Last night, one of the most daring outrages which ever occurred in this neighbour. hood took place at Broughton, about three miles fron this town, at the residence of W. Miller, Esq., surveyor and land steward. Mr. Miller's house is at some distance from any other residence. About six o'clock in tht evening, Mr. Miller and his daughter being in the house, and no other person there but a female servant, a smart knock was given at the front door, on which Mr. Miller observed, "It is some gentleman from Preston who wishes to see me on business." The door was opened by Miss miller, when six men, armed with pistols, made a rush into the house, two of them subsequently retreat ing back,' and remaining in front of the house. Miss Miller, terrified by the villians, cried out, "Thieves,. thieves !" making at the same time a rush towards the lawn in front of the house, when one of the men out side shouted out, "Grab her." At the same moment a pistol was fired at her, which was immediately fol lowed by the firing of another. Miss Miller then ran to the house of a neighbour screaming out " Murder." In the meantime the villains had gained full access to the house, and one of them, presenting a pistol at Mr Miller, said, "We want your money." Mr. Miller told them he had none; upon which the men said, " We know you have." Mr. Miller again denied having any, and called to the servant, whom the robbers had forced into an adjoining room, to ring the bell. The bell alluded to is an alarm bell, situated at the top of the house, from which there is a communication with the room into which, fortunately, the robbers had forced the attendant. At her master's call, the servant commenced ringing the bell, on which the men looked at one another in amazement, and then ran away. In less than ten minutes from the alarm bell having been rung, a number of neighbours arrived. From the cool determination evinced by the whale gang, there can be little doubt that the lives of the whole family would have been sacrificed, had it not been for the escape of Miss Miller and the ringing of the alarm bell. Mr. Miller's presence of mind, too, during the attack, was wonderful, especially considering that he is 75 years of age. Oa Miss Miller returning home, with a neighbouring farmer, she was much exhausted, and it was discovered that her life had been in the most imminent peril, the contents of one of the pistols having grazed the front part of her head, to the extent of about three inches. She bled considerably, but, we are glad to say, is in no danger. The lady's alarm may be imagined, when it is stated that on arriving at the house of the farmer alluded to above, she struck and broke a window in her excitement, the arm passing quite through the framework. It is said that Mr. Miller had, a few days previously, been receiving certaia rents, and the presumption is that the delin quents were awake of that fact. We regret to say that they have not, up to the present time, been apprehended; but suspicion rests upon some characters in the neigh bourhood, whom the police are on the look out for. THE DUCHESS OF INVEUNESS.—.II. rumour of so extraordinary a character has reached us, that had we not the strongest reasons for respecting the authority, whence it is derived, we should find it almost impossible to lend it a moment's credulity. It is said that to our already overcharged pension list is to be added the name of the Duchess of Inverness, with a pension of 1,0001. per annum.—Court Journal. BREAK DOWN ON THE NORTH -WESTERN.—The Newcastle express train, due at Euston-square at ten minutes before nine o'clock last night, did not arrive at that station till a' quarter before ono this morning, in consequence of a luggage train breaking down and blocking up the line to 1311esthorpe, on the Midland Counties line, but we are happy to say, no further acci• dent occurred. The marriage of Captain Henry Bagot, R.N., se cond son of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and Lady H. Begot, to Miss Frederica W. Begot; youngest daughter of the late Right Hon. Sir Charles and Lady Mary Bagot, was solemnized on Tuesday, the 17th inst., at Blythfield Hall, Staffordshire, the seat of the Right Hon. Lord Bagot. DUTCH WALNUTS.—The supply of walnuts from Holland still continues to take _place, even at this very late period cf the season, when the supplies of home growth are very nearly exhausted, the Batavier steam ship from Rotterdam having brought, on her last pas sage, the large number of 675 bags, and the Giraffe steam-ship, from the same port, 310 packages of the article. SINGULAR ROBBERY BY A FOREIGNER._ YesterdaY information was forwarded to the police, that Auguste Lepiere, a Frenchman, who had hired die upper part of the house, No. 244, Regent-street, had removed the whole of the furniture during the temporary absence of the landlord, and no clue at present can be obtained either to him or the goods, their value being 2004 RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

It is Buxton. and Matlock:, 1)- s p.—l' orb and Newcastle, Prefer quite evident that the battle between t h e G r eat Western cues, 5 7 P' and London and south Western is to be contested as stoutly as it was last year, when 100,000/. are supposed to have been expended by each company upon what, as far as the public is concerned, turned out a nonentity. But it is by no means clear what the respective compa nies are driving at in the event of a direct line from Exeter to London being refused. To lay upon paper, or trace upon a map, the various projects which we are about to enumerate, it would appear that the railway mania of last year is still raging fueiously in the west. Places that are hardly known to the traveller, and are not honoured with a notice on every map, are made the termini of projects which may be intended to bear here after a portion of the important traffic between London and the Land's-end; and the branches from projected lines are so numerous, that it might puzzle the clearest-headed calculator to plan anything like a 'time-table" to give general satisfaction. There is one feature in this year's contest quite novel, and that is, that the Great Western, the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth, and the Bristol and Exeter (lines that formerly were expressed by the title of the first-named) are each in the field in apparently antago nistic attitudes. It has long been known that the Bris tol and Exeter were desirous of forming a directer line from the latter terminus to London ; and a notice is now given for a line from Durston, near Taunton, to Street, near Glastonbury, and from thence running into the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, at Ansford, near Castle Cary. This is friendly towards the latter com pany ; but it is curious that the Wilts and Somerset propose a line nearly identical with one projected by the Bristol and Exeter from Bleadon to Wells. The Bris tol and Exeter project turns off to Glastonbury, and ends at Street. The Wilts and Somerset passes on from Wells to Shepton Mallett, into Dorset, finding a termi nus at Blandford. A portion of this latter ground is also fixed on by the South-Western, who have a distinct plan for a line from Blandford to Burton. It is also run over by a proposed company (Bristol to Poole) irrespective of either of the two great competitors. The London, Salis bury, and 'Yeovil have issued notices, but it is under stood that they abandon their intention to make a line, end leave the South-Western to fight this part of the battle with the Great Western. The Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester, stand forward as a distinct scheme, but with power to sell to the South-Western ; and in oppo sition to these schemes for the direct communication, the Great Western propose a line from the Wilts and Somerset at Yeovil, to St. Thomas, Exeter, there joining the South Devon. There is also a notice for an exactly similar line to be made by an independent company (really emanating from the Great Western). Between these projects will the great battle for the communica tion from London to the Land's-end be fought. There are various branches from the Great Western, which we include in the following recapitulation : BY THE BRISTOL AND EXETER.—A. branch from the southern bridge of the Uphill cutting, in the parish of Bleadon, through Uxbridge, to Wells, Glastonbury, and Street. Another branch from the Durston branch of that railway, from Durston (near Taunton) to Street, thence to Castle Cary, and terminating by a junction with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, at Ansford, near Castle Cary. A line from Crediton to Launceston. BT THE WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH.—An alteration of line from Pitcombe, near Bleadon, to Roo len, near Frome. Another alteration from Bradford (Wilts) to Bathampton. A railway from Bleadon to tVells, Shepton Mellott, Henstridge, Sturminster, and Blandford. A branch from Wells to Glastonbury. A ine from the Wilts and Somerset, at Trent, near Yeovil, through Sheeborne, Gillingham, Donisead St. 11ary, ending at Fugglestone St. Peter, in Wilts. A ,ranch from out of the last-named line from Motcombe to Gillingham. By THE GREAT WESTERN. - - A line from the Wilts tnd Somerset, at Yeovil, to Exeter, there to join the South Deion. A branch from Ottery St. Mary to Sid nouth. A branch from Chard to Ilminster. A railway )3, a junction with the Wilts and Semerset, at Brad )ole, near Bridport, to Chardstock. A rail way from Aarshwood to Lyme. A line from Yeovil to Exeter, =bracing all the above-named branches, and dependent iines to be constructed by a new company.

TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. -- This is a question of vital importance to you. Tea is one of the most valuable elements in your daily meals, •a great comfort to all, and to very many of yea an ab solute necessary of life. It would be one of the greatest -blessings to your families could you provide them with this prime want more fi equently, more abundantly, and of better quality. This you are prevented from doing by the enormous duty which is now levied on Tea ; no less than 2s. 2,fd. on every pound. The original cost of Tea is only from Bd. to 2s. per pound, and this exorbi tant impost, therefore, is equivalent to a tax of 200 per cent. on the average qualities, and no less than from 300 to 400 per cent. on the lower kinds. Coffee and Sugar are admitted at a duty of from 20 to 30 per cent., and it is high time that your wants in respect to Tea should be provided for by a great reduction of the duty on this commodity. TO THE WOMEN OF ENGLAND. The reduction of the Tea duty is a question interest ing to you, because it affects the comforts and attractions of your homes and your firesides. To show the evil at present in existence, you must take a pound of Tea, and put one-third into one paper, two-thirds into another ; the money paid in China, with expenses added for bringing the Tea home, has procured the whole pound for you; but you can only get one thirdi the other two-thirds must go to pay duty, or you must pay three times the value to obtain the whole pound. - Is this true? Yes. The merchant sells at Is. per pound that Tea on which 2s. 21d. is charged for duty; and even at 9d. good sound Tea is sold by the merchant, upon which the same duty is levied. Thus a poor man's family paying 3d. for Tea only procures Id. worth; and instead of the 2d. going to pay for eatables, clothes, or instruction, it is paid away as a tax for permission to drink ld. worth of Tea. TO THE MEN OF ENGLAND. Does the Tea duty affect you? It does, and for rea sons quite independent of those which are placed before your wives and daughters. What regulates your income, or wages? Employ ment. If two men do what is required, is a third man likely to get a day's work? The Chinaman has plenty more Tea to sell, and he wants manufactures from us. But so much Tea as he offers can not be sold here, because it_cannot be paid for and the duty paid also. Take more of the Chinaman's Tea and he will take more manufactures ; and if more manufactured goods are taken to China, will you or will you not have more em ployment? • Think on these things. An association has been formed in Liverpool for the purpose of procuring a great reduction of the duty on Tea. With your hearty sup port and your aid in diffusing knowledge on the subject by ;conversation or otherwise, and by subscriptions, however small, as an evidence of your sympathy, the public will soon be awakened to a sense of the import ance of the subject, and will then express its opinion in a way that mast ensure success. The convict Maynard, who was convicted at the Central Criminal Court some time since for railway rob beries, though sentenced to transportation, has not been sent out of the country, but remains in the Peniten ; tiary, Millbank. Hu is allowed the use of pens, ink, and paper, and busily employs himself for several hours each day in writing communications to different railway com panies, in which he explains how and by what means they can be and have been robbed ; also the facilities with which their passengers can be plundered, and point ing out easy means for the prevention of such robberies. Maynard's object is evidently to obtain a commutation 6 Or punishment. a WEST 3.1.1D1NG UNION RAILWAY.—On Monday a special meeting was held at Halifax, Mr. Ackroyd in ▪ the chair, when it wa s r es ol ve d t o ama l gama t e w ith the t 4 Manchester and Leeds. • DEATH Or PROVOST JAMIESON.—In our obituary • of to-day we notice the death of the death of this worthy and influential gentleman, one of the oldest of our civic • rulers. Mr. Jamieson was a member of the town - council from 1793 till 1833, without a brdach, we believe; in the term of his servitude. In the discharge of his public duties he filled the various offices of treasurer, bailie, and provost, being the second chief magistrate, under the latter title, after the assumption of the dig nity by the council in 1812. Mr. Jetnies ma was inti mutely versant with town's affairs; he evinced great urbanity in his manners, and was a most instructive as well as a conciliatory adviser of his colleagues. But what is even more to the crelit of the deceased gentle man, during all the conflicting questions and causes of party strife which have presented themselves, he mover took a single step, nor gave countenance to any pro posal whatever, that was calculated to injure the . corporation. M.r. Jamieson was the last but ono xf the surviving provosts who held office prior to 1833.—Paisley 's: Journal. VA The directors of all the theatres at Berlin have resolved to substitute the explosive cotton for gun powder, in their representations, because the canton makes little or no smoke, which is not only annoying to `. the public, but has an injurious effect upon the VOiett3 of - the singers and actors. We regret that our venerable and excellent neighbour, Sir Anthony Lechmere. Bart., has been lately suffering so severely from indisposition as to m t .. cite much anxiety amongst those around him for the re . suit. We are glad, however, to be able to state, from inquiries which we have made just before our going to press, that the worthy baronet is much better.—Woram ter Journal, Nov. 19. SUDDEN DEATH or M. KERY.—M. Very, the 8( m of the late celebrated restaurateur of that name in the Palais Royal, died on Sunday night in a singular man— ner. He had passed the day at his country house at: Montmorency, but came to Paris at six o'clock with his: • 'wife, and went to dine with a friend in the rue do Riche-- lieu. On entering the saloon he became completely' chilled, attributing it to his having in the morning stood' . too long on the bank of the Lake of Enghien fishing. Ile placed himself close to the fire, became quite warm ' again, and afterwards ate heartily at dinner. In the evening, while he was playing at whist, with his wife for partner, and was talking gaily with a friend seated by his side, the gentleman said that he felt he was growing old, for he was already 53. M. Very laughingly replied, " Why, at 50 years a man is still young. I have passed ray 50th year, and never was better in my life." The . words were scarcely out of his mouth before his lips be came convulsed, and the company laid him upon a sofa, • where the next moment he expired.— Galignani.

STOCK EXCAANGE.-Our market has been for some clays past unsteady. Prices have, however, upon the whole, ad vanced, but no great amount of legitimate business has been transacted, speculative bargains constituting the greater por tion. The quotations, in some instances, indicate rather the necessities of the Bears (between whom and the Bulls a fierce battle has been raging) than the actual and bond fide value of the stocks. Intending investors would do well to bear this fact in mind, and, previous to purchasing, institute a comparison between the position and prospects of those un dertakings, the shares in which now bear a high premium, and the probable position two or three years hence of those undertakings, the shares in which are at an inconsiderable premium, or at a discount.

ACCIDENT TO THE STEAM-SIIIP TIDER.--SOUTH AMPTON, Nov. 19.—The Tiber, Captain Russell, which sailed from this port on the 4th instant, en route for Genoa, Naples, &c., met with an accident to her machi nery while crossing the Bay of Biscay, which compelled her to run into Gibraltar, where she arrived on the 10th inst. On the following morning the Montrose, Captain Burney, came into harbonr on her return voyage from the above places. After consulting with the engineers, it was deemed expedient that the passengers, mails, and cargo of the Tiber should be transferred to the Montrose, while those of the latter ship should be removed to the former vessel. This being done, the Montrose retraced her voyage to Naples, &c., leaving Gibraltar on the 13th inst. The Tiber, on the same day, left for this port, to undergo the necessary repairs; she arrived here at four P.M. yesterday, and landed the Genoa and Naples mails. The passengers, fifty in number, on leaving the Tiber at Gibraltar paid the highest compliment to Captain Russell, his officers and men, for their excellent seaman like conduct, and in particular to Captain Russell for his very gentlemanly and cool behaviour under such trying circumstances. As proof of the excellent sailing quali ties of the Tiber, it is only to mention that the Achilles steam-ship left this port at three P.M. of the 3d, and did not reach Gibraltar until twelve hours after the Tiber. The Achilles left Gibraltar for Malta on the same day. REPRESENTATION OP MANCHESTER.—A very nu merous meeting of electors of the borough of Manchester was held on Wednesday evening, at the Free Trade Hall, to which Mr. John Bright, M.P. (the gentleman proposed to succeed Mr. Mark Philips as representative of Man chester at the next election), was invited. From 3,000 to 4,000 persons were present. Mr. G. Wilson, late chairman of the League, presided. Mr. Absolom Watkin (a borough magistrate) proposed the following resolution:—" That this meeting of the Liberal electors of the borough of Manchester, gratefully acknowledging the distinguished services of .I.lr. John Bright, M.P., in the recent struggles for:commercial freedom, and enter tertaining a high sense of his talents and public conduct, resolves that he is peculiarly qualified to represent this borough in Parliament, and pledges itself to take all requisite steps for securing his return." Mr. Alderman Bird seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Bright then addressed the meeting in a speech which occupied nearly an hour in the delivery. If he should be elected, he could only promise them a zeal which few could surpass him in the support of those principles with which he was connected, and which he had espoused. The only question put to Mr. Bright was by a working man named George Lax, who stated that he had been connected with the working of a fac tory for 40 years. The question he wished to put was, " If a Bill be introduced into the House of Commons to limit the labour of females and young persons to ten hours a day, would Mr. Bright support it?" Mr. Bright said, that the Bill of the past session was a Bill to limit the hours of labour of young persons and females—that is, young persons from 13 to 18, and women of all ages. It must be clear that such a reptriction would put an end to all labour. If men were not included in such re strictions, he should, on principle, oppose such a mea sure. A committee of upwards of 300 gentleman was appointed to carry into effect the foregoing resolution, when the proceedings terminated. NEAPOLITAN MAIL PACKET.—A first-rate steamer, mailed the Capre, the property of the Neapolitan Steam Navigation Company, formed for the purpose of convey ing the mails and passengers between Malta, Leghorn, Sicily, Naples, Genoa, &c., will leave the East India Docks in the course of to-day for the Mediterranean. During the last few days she has been visited by a large number of persons, aid she is one of the most hand somely fitted steamers that ever left the Thames. VE.RWELL, M.D. Di.R.C.S.
