The changes have been rung on the subject usque ad nauseam. At club or coffe - e-r.:om we hear of "railway mismanage ment," " railway unpunctuality," " railway irregu larity," or of "rally:ay grievances." If a casualty occur, whether it b© the unavoidable delay of a few ngeutes, exciting the indignation of some atrabilioul paasenger, or of a more formidable character, such as a beeak down, a running off the rails, or a collision, tba Board of Management are formally impeached. and ()ills of pains and penalties threatened against the Directors. Some of the more moderate would be centeneed with the Companies being mulcted in heave pecuniary fines. while nothing would satisfy others but ma ki ng t h e Director' criminally responsible for evory untoward cccurrenee, although the greatest possible precautions bad been taken, and nothing wtruting w,hich human foresight could provide. if tiv, suggestions of these wiseacres were even partially adopted, a rsitway directorship would he anything l 'a' a bed of roses ; and it would speedily become itomsible to obtain the services of men of character and rEqente.bility, under their new and almost un limited respunoinilities ; nor would the shareholders, on even the best circumstanced lines, have much pros peet of TeLssivi ng a dividend. From the assertions so freely and arrogantly put forward, it would appear as if direckas were men of peculiar tastes and Wi ngs , regar di ng with malignant pleasure the misfortunes of their fellow-men, although acoompanied by hea vy pecu l niarosses Their and al moat unlimited liabiliti es. , y carriages might be erushed to atonas---tb,i, permanent way torn up, or otherwise damaged; and in case of loss of life or bodily it.jury t ,„ Pa9Sengers, they w ay be subject to many actions — N -34)g the corn pissatinn assessed by the juries, and also the full coats of all parties ; but that is not sufficient, un lees they are nude to suffer in person as well a s in puree, for the negligence of servants w i t h whom they bad received unexceptionable characters ; or for the failure of machinery that had previously been subjected to the most stringent tests. This is really too absurd. It defeats its own objects. The directors of the different companies, and every person fumed in their service, are using every pos sible exertion to prevent these casualties—and they require no stimulus beyond that supplied by their feelings as men of the world, whose pecuniary hate roots srre deeply involved in the result, to say nothing a the higher motives in which every person of or dinary humanity must participate. It is not by coarse An d vulgar abase of the management that these evils can be remedied. Cool and dispassionate considerate tson-of competent perionv, reflecting on the nature of ate aasuultidos, asceilaining the causes to which they are ascribable, and adopting adequate means, so far a 3 practicable, to prevent their repeti.ion. Ciwain fluistr. the intellig-nt, exp rienced, and indefatigable manager of the London and 39 orth- Western Railway recently read a paper* at the Insti tution of Civil Engineers, on the subject of "Railway Accidents, their Cause, and Means of Prevention," and detailing particularly the various contrivances now in use, and which have been proposed, which would show the cavillers the folly and absurdity of their proceedings. A higher authority on such points than Captain Htizsu could not be produced, for exclu sive of his acknowledged ability and talent, be pos sesses unequalled opportunities for observation. But the admirable paper now referred to, requires no such authority. It contains intrinsic evidence of the accuracy of the statements, and the soundness of the arguments put forward, and will carry conviction to every unprejudiced acd disinterested mind, even if published anonymously. Hitherto, we be lieve, it has only been privately circulated, but we earnestly hope that Captain Huzsli may con sent to submit it to the consideration of Govern ment as the best antidote to the poisonous trash al ready in circulation. Captain Huisa shows, at the outset, that railway accidents have been greatly exaggerated, and that " even in its present state railway travelling is incom parably safer than any previously designed system of locomotion." The public attention is, however, very pointedly directed to the aggregate of accidents in a manner not attempted in any other department. " Were the casualties to steam-boats as carefully chronicled, and the deaths in mining as elaborately tabulated, or were even the fact of a British vessel being wrecked on each tide throughout the year as generally known, the public"—as Captain litisu truly remarks—" the public would -view more justly the occurrence under the railway system of those contingencies, which, even under the most perfect management, must ever accompany the arrangements of fallible men." Let the matter, then, be temper ately discussed without passion or vituperation, and we have no doubt that the desideratum, the greatest possible amount of safety for travellers, will be best attained. Captain Husn shows that a firm and well•kept road is the basis of all safety in railway travelling, and he points out the measures now in course of adoption. The Directors are doing all in their power, but, notwithstanding the utmost caution on their part, and dealing only with persons of the highest respectability in the trade, they but too frequently receive defective articles, which exhibit early symptoms of failure. The next point is the locomotive, and out of 1,000 cases of Engine failures and defects, it appears that few more than half result from " burst and leaky tubes, and broken springs and valves." The whole of all these causes, however, do not produce a tithe of the accidents which result from inattention to signals, and the neglect of regu lations, the effects of a momentary forget fulness or an instant's neglect, being frequently fraught with the most tremendous consequences. But, unfortunately, we cannot expect perfection where human agency is resorted to ; all that the Directors can achieve is to obtain the services of men of unexceptionable character, and to punish with se verity any inattention, however trivial, whether prejudicial or otherwise. This they do, and it is all :bat can fairly be required at their hands. " To-morrow we shall take occasion to publish in our columne, the whole of this interesting document in extenso. Loath, indeed, should we be to regard as a minis terial manifesto the political article recently put forward by our old friend the Quarterly. As loath as to accept as official the kindred sentiments expressed by its co-mate and cotemporary Blackwood. It is impossible to credit, for a moment, that any group of statesmen can be so utterly blind to the difficulty of their position, us to declare open war in a manner so intolerably gratuitous, or so odiously flagrant, not only with the leaders of the Parliamentary opposition, but with the great mass of the intelligent population. We speak thus advisedly. We assert that the argu ments advanced by the monthly, and the quarterly organs of Toryism, are in direct violation of all the known wiehea of the multitude. They are nothing less than the utterance of the most intolerant scorn, of the most perverse contumelies, and of the most irritating vituperation, directed against those men and those measures most regarded by the great body of the people with interest, and some of them even with unaffected veneration. It is preposterous, therefore, to suppose for an instant that the writers, to whose strictures we are here referring, are the exponents of the views of an entire Party. It is ridiculous to imagine this, no matter how bigotted that party may happen to be in the maintenance of their more che rished opinions, in the furtherance of their more bitter prejudices, and of their more dearly-fostered predilec tions. Rather must we regard those publicists at once as the exponents not of Party, but of Faction, the mouthpieces not of a Political Faith, but of a Parliamentary Antipathy, the organs not of a calm Conviction, but of a fierce and infuriated Fanaticism. " Defend me from my friends " may well be the ejaculation of Lord DERBY when he finds those who are forewarned to be the exponents of his views, giving utterance to language so deplorably cal culated to embitter the feelings of the people towards his Administration. Supposing, for the sake of argument, that the opi nions recently expresed by the monthly organ of Toryism, Blackwood, and by the quarterly organ of Toryism, THE Quarterly, to be actually those enter tained by the chief Ministers of the Crown, it would be simply absurd to calculate upon their continuance in office beyond an interval such as would at last render respectable Lord GODERICH'S brief tenure of the reins of Government. The affairs of the coun try could not possibly be carried on much longer by a groupe of administrators so resolutely antagonistic to the hopes and aspirations of the English multitude. Not only so antagonistic, be it remembered, but so arrogant in the declaration of that antagonism, so in solent to the opponents of their policy, and so infa tuated, it would seem, with a belief in their security, as to brook not the faintest vestige of opposition. We entertain a loftier notion of Lord DERBY'S sagacity as a statesman. We conceive him to be incapable of observing s'ges like these of petulant bigotry and overbearing self-confidence, otherwise than with sen timents of chagrin not very different from those of stern and deliberated indignation. It is impossible, egain, that Mr. DISRIELI can, with his keen intellect, his vigilant shrewdness, and his rather severely pro tracted experience, remark the course pursued in this manner by his pretended supporters, without feelings towards them of the strongest dissatisfaction. Neither I can we deem it within the limits of probability that thus influential wrier in Blackwood, or the fanatical disputant in The Quarterly, can be regarded with any degree of complacency by the rest of the leading members of the Cabinet—by an administrator as tutored by the past as Mr. liEnnius—by a public functionary as habitually watchful as Mr. lIENLar---by an astute lawyer like Lord St. LEONARDS—by a diplomatist like Lord MALMESBURY—or, even we may venture to say, by a legal practitioner like Mr..WALpoLE, or by a chairman of Quarter Sessions like Sir JOHN PAKINGTON. Argu ments as intemperate in tone as those referred to in our allusions to the eminent periodicals already more than once particularized —arguments as intemperate in tone, as incoherent in arrangement, as insulting in commentary, as haughty in assumption, cannot be accepted by any sane man as the authorized ex pression of the views entertained by a great Govern ment. The advisers of a Baron of the middle ages might feel like this—not the advisers in the nine teenth century of a British Sovereign. It is only nece,aary to glance at toe opinions ex pressed by our monthly or by our quarterly coutem porary upon the subject of the religious difference, agitating th e people of the United kingdom, to re cognize at once the preposterous folly o f i mag i n i ng that such opining can be the guiding lights of the leaders of tilt* DEklir G overnmen t. A C a bi ne t feel ing like that upon a question of that exceeding mag nitude and of that exquisite delicacy, would sur vive beyond a fort n i g h t. Besides wh.noth' must be borne in recollection, th e sorrowful and spleneticf manner in which are partic u l ar i zed, one by one, some of the most distinguished member s on the benches of the Opposition. Blackwood especially would seem latterly to have arrived at the conviction that being " its" ffice covsitute- , a public men a being just ooe shade below an angel— a mire t-ny wllLca? the wings—non Angli sed Angell! Upon the same principle, the writer in old Ebony appears to fancy that being " out " of office reduces a man to a most contemptible condition—making him revert possibly, we will suppose, to his original state of monkeyhood, according to the ingenious hypothesis cf my Lord I MOICBODDO. There is apparently, indeed, only one created being more degraded in the estimation of our contemporary than a man who has been driven from Downing•street, and that is the man who aspires to return there upon the first available opportunity. Hear his allusion in this way to the Right Hon. Sir JAMES GRAHAM—and you would fancy that the writer was speaking of some political imbecile, with the guilt of apostacy, the buffoonery of a clown at ASTLEY'S, the ignorance of a CHRISTOPHER SLY, and the vanity of MALVOLIO. You would infallibly imagine that when Blackwood refers to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the writer was commenting upon the fatuity of some such individual as we have here described, instead of to one of the ablest ad ministrators, one of the most adroit debaters, and one of the most gifted Statesmen who has ever adorned the annals of England, since the period when the country first passed under the regime of constitutional government. It is not by thus insolently treating its more im portant antagonists that the DERBY Cabinet will make secure the extension of its popularity. We look to the prominent members of that Ministry in the confident expectation of a programme very different from the one indicated, both by the diatribes of Blackwood and by the fanfaronades of the Quarterly. Should the popular wishes in this particular meet with disappointment, the Earl of DERBY and his Ministerial colleagues will as inevitably find the reins of power slipping from their grasp, as, in the reverse case, they will find their Cabinet steadily and ap preciably consolidating itself into a compact, a pa triotic, and a vigorous Administration. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S CHARTER, The report of the select committee " On Indian Ter- , ritories," together with the evidence, has just been pub lished. It is a folio volume of 1,006 pages. The committee was appointed on the 19th of April— on the motion of Mr. Ilerries, the President of the Board of Control, the approaching expiry of the Company's charter rendering it desirable that evidence should be taken as to the operation of the existing Act previous to determining the conditions of renewal. The committee consisted of 31 members ; Mr. Thomas Baring acted as chairman. 16 sittings were held, and 19 witnesses were examined, some of them oftener than once. On the 25th of June, it was agreed that the following report should be presented to the house:— "Your committee having deemed it to be advisable, for the more complete investigation of the extensive sub ject referred to them, to divide it under the following separate heads, viz.:— " 1. The authorities and agencies for administering the government of India, at home and in India respec tively: "2. The military and naval establishments of India, —character, extent, and cost: " 3. The income and expenditure of the British Indian empire, showing the produce of the territorial revenues, and of all oth(r sources of income; and the modes of assessing and levy ing each, in the respective presidencies and districts; also, the progre;s of trade and navigation in India: ` . 4. Tha judicial establishments of British India, European and native ; the modes of administering jus tice, civil and criminal, and the working of the system, as exhibited by tables of trials, appeals, and decisions; "5. The measures adopted, and the institution es tablished and endowed, for the promotion of education in India: " 6. Works of local improvement executed, in pro gress, and now under consideration: •' 7. Ecclesiastical provision for the diffusion of . hris tian spiritual instruction. " 8. Miscellaneous topics of inquiry: Having pursued their inquiries under the first of these heads, viz:—That which relates to ' the authorities and agencies for administering the government ot India at home and in India respectively,' and have taken the evidence thereupon which they now report to the house. " The labours of your committee, being necessarily interrupted by the approaching prorogation ot Parlia ment, they direct the attention of the House to the fa vourable tenor of the evidence with respect to the opera tion of the Act 3 Will. IV., cap, 85, so far as it regards the administration of the Government of India by the East India Company, as trustees under the control of the Crown. " It is apparent, however, that one only of eight heads of inquiry has hitherto occupied the attention of your committee; the inquiry under the remaining heads, which are very important, ought, in the opinion of your committee, to be pursued in the next session of Parlia ment." Mr. Hume and Mr. Cobden did not approve of the reference made to the favourable bearing of the evidence as regarded the operation of the Act of 1833; and Mr. Hume moved that the words " favourable tenor" be, ex punged. On a division, the amendment was lost by 15 to 2. As regards the re-appointment of the committee meat sesidon, it may be mentioned that Lord Mahon, Sir Edward Colebrooke, Mr. Plowden, and Mr. Cardwell, are no longer members of the House. The Duke of Modena arrived at Rome on the 10th, from N:ples, under the incognito of Count of NoveLlara. Pause, MONDAY.—Mrs. Bower left the asylum of Dr. Blanche yesterday perfectly restored to her reason, and immediately set out for England accompanied by severa 1 of her relatives. BRITISH BENEFICENT INSTITUTION.—Testerday a meeting of the patrons and subscribers to this institution was held, at the offices, in Lincoln's-bin-fields, for the purpose of electing tour pensioners on the funds. Sir Felix Agar, one of the vice-presidents, took the chair. It appeared that in 1849 the society was established for the purpose of affording permanent incomes to the widows and unmarried daughters of military and naval officers, clergymen, members of the learned profession, professors of the tine arts, bankers, mer chants, and others. Since the foundation of the institution, fifteen ladies have been elected as annuitants, and at present there are fourteen in the receipt of an annuity of 301. each. On the list to-day there were fifty candidates, the greater number of them being widows or daughters of military offi cers or merchants. The polling commenced at 12 o'clock, rnd closed at 3, when the scrutineers retired to make their report. During the interval a conversation took place with reference to an alteration which has been made in the third rule at a late general meeting, and which defined the qualifi cation for voting at elections. The alteration appeared to have created considerable dissatisfaction. After a good deal of discussion, the chairman intimated that in his opinion the better way would be to call a general meeting to have the rule reconsidered. On the return of the scrutineers the names of the successful candidates were announced, and the business terminated with the usual complimentary vote to the chairman. MEETING OF CAB PROPRIETORS AND DRIVERS,— Last evening, a very numerous meeting of the cab proprietors and drivers of the metropolis was held at the Old Red Lion, St. John-street-road, for the purpose of considering the result of the proceedings against a cab-driver for plying for hire within the terminus of the London and South-coast Railway, and to adopt such measures as may be deemed expedient to break up the present monopoly existing at the various metro politan railway stations. Resolutions were passed in favour of agitating the question, end a liberal subscription was made for the purpose. In the course of the discussion, the Chair man stated that the amount estimated to be received by way of bonus by the railways was 14,0001. a year; and the com mission and watermen amounted to 65/. a week, or 3,380/. annually. We have been requested to call attention to the advertisement in another part of our paper, which notices the removal of the principal departments of the Excise Branch of inland Revenue from Old Broad Street to Somer set House. The Stage and llackney Carriage dep artment, and that of the Collectors for the receipt of Duties, are not included in this removal. SUICIDE.—Last evening Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest at St. George's Tavern, Coleman-street, Camberwell , on the body of Mr. George Golding, aged 56, lately residing in Wells-street, near the above house, who committed suicide by taking oxalic acid. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." FRIGHTFUL DEATH OF A MAN UNKNOWN.—y es . terday morning Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, h e ld a lozg inquiry at the George Inn, Kingston-hill, touching the death of a man unknown, who met his death by having incautiously fell asleep in a clump of heated bricke. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." HORRIBLE MURDER OF A WOMAN BY HER HUS BAND AT BRISTOL.—On Tuesday, a very painful sensation was excited in Bristol, in consequence of its becoming known that, at a late hour, a married woman. of about 30 year. old, s h t a r d ee b t. ee T n he br n u a t u a l l e ly of m t u h r e d d er e e e d eas a e t d the Castle s Anns r p r e a a v r, er t n h , Castle e wife of John Spear, a shoemaker, carrying on business in the neigh bourhood of the Dings. Her husband was occasinally given to habits of intoxication, and on Tuesday he was from home a considerable portion of the day. About nine o'clock in the evening, he called at the Castle Tavern, in company with a man who was believed to be his brother-in-law; and, having entered the tap-room, they called for a pint of beer. Spear had not been in the tap-room more than from five to ten minutes, when his wife came in, carrying a baby in her arms, for the purpose, as is believed, of fetching him home. She began to upbraid him about his misconduct, when he rose from his seat, came close to her, and was observed to drive an underhand blow with his right hand, at the lower part of her person. The poor woman made an exclamation, drew herself up almost double, and immediately fell upon the ground, bleeding profusely,—and almost suddenly ceased to exist. The prisoner was taken into custody. The coroner has directed a post-mortem examination.

Witho ut i t your existence in the eyes of the p )lice might be expres se d a l gebraically by 0, save that the unhappy c i p her has att ached to it no end of co-effi cients, implying disaffection to the state, privy c ons pi rac y, portmanteau by great a d ro i tness to leave your biggest crime, and schism. 01PERIA L PA Ell AM EN o`. HOUSE OF LORDS: (THIS DAY.) Parliament was this day further prorogued until the 4th of November, in pursuance of the official notice pub lished in the Gazette last week. The LORD CHANCELLOR appeared upon the floor of the House of Lords shortly after two o'clock, and, ad vancing to the front of the throne, his Lordship an nounced that her Majesty had been pleased to direct the issue of a writ under the great seal, proroguing the Par liament until the 4th of November . ; and the Parliament stood adjourned accordingly. The USHER of the BLAtex ROD was then directed to go for the Commons ; and after an absence of a few minutes, he returned, attended by some of the Clerks of that House. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, the Chief Clerk of the House of Peers, then read the writ of prorogation, together with the proclamation, declaring the royal will and pleasure that the said Parliament should, on the said Thursday, the 4th day of November next, be held and sit for the dispatch of divers urgent and important affairs; and the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Knights, Citi zens, and Burgesses, and the Commissioners for Shires and Burghs of the House of Commons, were thereby re quired and commanded to give their attendance accord ingly, at Westminster, the 4th day of November next, The LORD CHANCELLOR then bowed to the officers of the Commons, and retired. The proceedings, which were purely formal, did not occupy many minutes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY. CLERKENWELL VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON A CONSTABLE.—CharIes Mildred, a young seafaring man, was charged with violently assaulting a police constable of the G division. It appeared from the evidence that last evening the police constable, who was on duty in plain clothes, was proceeding down Liquorpond-street, Gray's-inn-road, when the prisoner came behind him and knocked him down. He remonstrated with him, and told him that he was a police constable, when the former replied with an oath that he did not care, and struck the policeman a violent blow in the face, and made his nose bleed. The prisoner in defence stated that he was very drunk ; that he had only signed articles with a captain of a vessel to sail to St. Michels for a cargo of oranges yes terday, and that if he did not go to Gravesend this morning he should lose his ship. Mr. Corrie fined the defendant 5/.. or three month's imprisonment ; but afterwards, upon the solicitation of the prisoner's friends, the fine was partially remitted, and he was discharged. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1852. SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Win. Burchell) ADAMS V. KETRUEN, EXOR., &C. This was an action to recover the sum of 51. 14s. 6d. for wages and money lent. Defendant paid 11. 14s. Od. into court, and pleaded nil debit as to the remainder. Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lush for the defendant, Mr. Joyce said that the plaintiff had been lady's maid to a lady of considerable property, named Burrell, of whom defendant it the executor. Plaintiff had been in the service of the deceased from 14th January, 1850, to 3Uth January, 1E52. The last quarter previous to the decease of :ars. Burrell fell due on the 14th of October, and was in the first place paid when due, on the 14th January last, but the next day deceased bor rowed it back to make up a bill, and said as plaintiff was to leave in a short time, she, deceased, would pay altogether, and make her a present Mrs. Burrell, how ever, died on the night before plaintiff was to leave. The present claim was for the money lent as above, and for some other small sums. Plaintiff was called and proved these facts. Mr. Lush very rigidly cross examined the plain tiff, who said that Mrs. Burrell resided last at 133, Piccadilly. Plaintiff gave her mistress warning in consequence of ill treatment of members of the family ; she said that on her mistress being taken ill she, plaintiff, went for a medical gentleman ; but on her mistress dying, the relatives at once told her to leave, as she was not wanted auy longer. Witness did not search for money before or after the death, but she had heard that only 2d. had been found. The plaintiff, who ap peared much affected during the examination. identified several letters, and also account•books kept by her and Mrs. Burrell ; there was no entry of the retur❑ of the wages by way of loan, for plaintiff frequently lent money to her mistress, and it was always repaid a day or two afterwards. _ _ _ Mr. Joyce put in tha letters, and said that they were not desire them to be road. only complimentary of the Plaintiff, b u t M r . L us h did The jury said they did not wish to ask the plaintiff any questions, or to see the letters. Mr Lush •then addressed the jury, and said that although the jury had given a strong intimation of their opinion, yet he was satisfied they would not give a ver dict on hearing one side only. He then called the atten tion of the jury to the fact t h at the deceased was a l a d y in receipt of a considerable income, and it was,:therefore, very unlikely that she would be left without any money in the housJ but twopence, especially when the plaintiff was to leave the next day, and the rent was also due. Mrs Ed.ell, the housekeeper at the house in which Mrs Burrell lived, was called, but all she could say was that:she searched the house with Madame Marris, the daughter-in-law of deceased, and another person, but no money was found in her presence. Shea left the case to the jnry.. Air Joyce addressed the jury in reply, an d t h e Under- The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff, for the full amount claimed. THE REMOVAL OF HER MAJASTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE.—The Stationery-office and the adjacent h ouses are to be removed, in order to make a line of st ree t f rom Buck ingham Palace, up Victoria -street, to the Houses of Parlia ment, for the convenience of Her Majesty and those of her subjects visiting the parks. It is also intended largely to extend the barracks in the Birdcage- wa lk , consequent on the giving up of those in Portman-street, so t h at the whole battalions of a regiment may be quartered in them if neces sary, and not spread about as has been hitherto the case. These alterations, which are immediately to be carried into effect, will cause a vast improvement in the v i c i n it y o f t h e Palace, as all the low neighbourhood of William -street, and the parts about will be removed, and a fine opening made round andapproaching the Palace. LECTURu-LIALL, CROYDON.—On Monday last, a musical lecture was given . here by Mr. P eed, assisted by C. S. Wallack, and Miss Sophv Law. It was in two parts. The second contained a selection entitl e d , " An Hour with Dibden," and other composers. The first p ar t, cons i st i ng of old English melodies, was given here for the first time, and appeared to be highly appreciated by the audience. His great compass, and voice, which is a tenor, is excellent, of of admirable quality; and in the use the singer makes of it he does ample justice to the teach in g of Signor Crivelli, the greatest master of the day. The lecture throughout con tained much that was amusing and instructive, bei ng f u ll o f anecdote and information of a high character, and was deli vered with ease and energy. At the commencement of the second part, Mrs Wallack and . Miss Law gave Crivelli's beautiful,. new song by Mr. Peed , ge duettino, "Mai non Vuli, with. great feelin g an d effect. A Bells, called from the excellence i of the co mpos i tion, " The Villa forth great applause, as well as the manner with which t was sung by M rs. Wal lack. Miss Law also delighted theaudience with Glover's song of the " Little Gipsy Jane. The, w hole concluded with the spirit-stirring comp osi tions of Ch arles Dibden, so well known and so justly admired. THE Hoop MONUMENT. — T he promoters of the Hood Monument were met by some doubts whether, if any fund were raised, it should not be devoted rather to charity than masonry. On this point it may be useful to publish the following letter to the committf,e from Mr. M acaulay Albany, Oct. 16,1852. "Sir—On returning to London a few days ago I f ound your letter. I did not immediately answer it, becau se I wished to have time - for inquiry and consideration. I wished particu larly to know in what state Mr. Hood had left hi s f am il y _ a matter about which I had no information, except what was derived from vague report. therefore,. have great plea- I ave now learned that the children are provided for, and sure in subscribing five pounds for the monument you pro pose to erect.—l have the honour to , be, sir, y our faithful servant, T.

THE HUNTING SEAsort.--The sporting world will be glad to learn that foxes are generally plentiful in this and the neighbourhood of Oxford. CENTRAL CITY RAILWAY TERMINUS.--A lecture explanatory of this project was delivered yesterday evening by Mr. C. Pearson, the originator, at the Southwa r k Lite rary Institution. In the course of his remarks, the lecturer observed that a meeting would be held shortly t o w h ose decision he should finally submit the whole scheme, and if it should be then disapproved, it was his intention altogether to abandon it. EXPOSURE op AN INFANT. —On Sunday last, some unfeeling wretch placed a full-grown male child at the door of the Rev. W. Dacre, vicar of Irthington, near Carlisle. Upon the servant coming down to open the shutters and front door, at a quarter before 7 in the morning, she observed a bundle lying close to a bush, and on taking it up found a fine child contained within it. The morning was very cold, and the child was nearly frozen to death. No clothes were found upon the child, but a very small and dirty shawl, a man's cotton neckerchief, and a small piece o f fiaon,;l. All these articles were covered with dirt. After an hour or two's constant attention t o the poor little infant, it b egan to revive, and during the evening was quite recovered. It is to be hoped that the inhuman mother may be brought to justice, and we hear that steps are being taken to find out the guilty person, and that a reward is offered for that purpose. 2110N6'Y A.ND COMMERCIAL NEWS. ()FiT, Two O'CLOCK, The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 15,000 bales, of which 4,000 American and 500 Surat were taken on speculation. The market closed with animation ; and, as compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds were extreme, and in some cases American were id. per lb higher per higher. The sales comprised 12,000 Americas; 1,000 Pernam, and Maranham, at bid to 74d ; 500 Bahia, at Cid to 6~1; 800 Egyptian, at 6?,1 to 9d; and 1,200 Surat, at 4d to 51d per lb. Railway shares were firmer. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 39s 7d per qr., and the last week's sales were 114,138 qrs. The Indigo auctions have been brought to a close, and the report furnished by Messrs. H. W. Jewes bury and Co., after giving the quantity 20,958, pro ceeds as follows : " Soon after the close of the last Jaly sale, a fair de• mend arose for Indigo both for export and home use, and prices were firm at Sale's rates; which continued until the arrival of information by the Indian Mail, with dates from Calcutta to August 6th, stating that consi derable damage had been done to the new crop by very heavy rain and inundation ; this produced a speculative demand in our market, and prices rapidly advanced for good l3engal qualities, to about 9d per lb above previous rates, at which rise a considerable business was done, there being an impression that the advance would be more than realized at the sale just concluded. This how ever has not been the case, and the trial of a few parcels on the first day's sale at Is. per lb advance, but which were obliged to be withdrawn, proved that purchasers were not prepared to pay so heavy an advance, but at about 8,1 to 9d advance there was a disposition to pur chase; and as the sale progressed this rate was established and maintained, excepting for a few perfect and very de sirable parcels, which sold somewhat higher, and for some detective and inferior qualities, which sold rather lower. Kurpah has been in good demand at from 4d to 8d per lb. advance, and Madras at 6d to 8d per lb advance. The great rise in value has materially checked business, and many orders both home and foreign have been countermanded; importers throughout gave strong support by withdrawing large parcels, but were firmer in their demands since the arrival of the Indian Mail on Friday last, after which there was much more animation in the biddings at previous rates- Of the quantity brought forward, it is estimated that 4,514 are bought in, 11,172 withdrawn, and 5,272 sold, to which may be added about 1,000 of the bought-in and withdrawn; making the total quantity sold, say 6,200 chests,of which 4,000 chests are for export, and 2,200 for home use and re-sale. The following are the quotations, as compared with the last July sale:— Good and fine Shipping ... 9d to 10d per lb. higher Ordinary and defective ditto.. —to 8d If Broken and Consuming. 6d to 8d Madras, good fine ......... 6d to 8d /9 Middling ordinary —to fid Kurpah, good and fine Bd to 10d Middling and ordinary 4d to 6d ff The prompt day ict January 8. In a report upon the mining market, by_Messrs. Fredinnick and Co., it is stated : `.

The price of the Leeds Town Consols is 34 to 3i, and of the North Cornwall, 3. The herring fishery off the coast of Holland is proving very productive. Ten vessels returned to Scheveninque on the 18th inst. with 750,000 herrings on board, and one ship on the following day with 31,000. The selling prices were 14 to 18 florins per thousand.

Consols for money are now 1001 to 4., and for ac count, 1001 to I-. The explanations offered of the Turkish Loan affair are considered very unsatisfactory up to this time; but the high price from Paris, 7i to 8 premium, keeps up the price. The original " firman" has evi dently been departed from, both as to the amount borrowed and the time allowed for its redemption ; but if the Government afterwards acquiesced, it can not now repudiate the bargain.

The Sultan has refused to ratify the loan, which refusal is supposed to be the result of a deeply laid intrigue on the part of the nei g hbou r in g Powers, who are indisposed to allow Turkey to come into independent action with France and England. A departure is understood t o h ave b een ma de from the original instruc lamed and tions for the loan, inasmuch as the amount contracted . for was 2,000 , 0001. instead of 1,600,0001., and the period of re payment was spread over 23yeatros,hianvsteebadeeonf years;explained these changes are represented but sanctioned, the Government, in the full knowledge of all that had been done, having actually received already 100,000/. of the proceeds. Under these circumstances, accord i ng to advices from Paris, the French Minister has insisted upon the necessity that the loan should be ratified.
