fclspensed with. Unfortunately, Sir Robert Peel's moral cou rage did nct equal his sagacity. Daz . ,:led by the popularity consequent on the remission of indirect taxation, he suffered himself to be diverted from the strict path of duty, and, for the sake of catching for the day the applause of the massses, or possibly of getting into his hands a powerful lever for the effectuation of further half-formed projects, he permitted him self to be guilty of what, in our view, is the most serious fault of which a statesman can be guilty—he broke faith with the nation. Ever since that time the country, financially speaking, has been in all the difficulties consqueut upon dependence on income of which it had no certain lease—nay, worse than that, from year to year the nation has been assured by a Chancellor of the Exchequer, constrained to live from hand to month, that he was in yearly expectation of being able to release them from the burden of the extraordinary contribution of the income-tax, and from year to year the impost has been grumblingly sub mitted to under the influent 3 of a sort of vague hope that faith might yet be kept with the tax-payers. No one knew so well as the Government which held it out how absolutely groundless this hope was. No one knew better than they that the revenue had been so overprnned, and its elasticity , so overstrained, that, without the extraneous aid of the in come-tax there would be again a deficit as serious as that which Sir Robert Peel undertook to supply in 1842. And this is the result of ten years of financial legislation. The vanity, or the weakness, or the self glorification, of its author, call it what you will, neu tralised the operation of a scheme unquestionably , founded on sound principles in the first instance. The con sequence is, that Mr. Disraeli has now to deal with substan tially the same difficulty as that which the Whigs found so insurmountable eleven years ago. He has to deal with a great r avenue which is only kept up by an extraordinary and forced supply from a temporary source. Mr. Disraeli is uni versally acknowledged to be a man of great ability, and even genies, while those who best know him give him cre dit for great powers of application. He has, indeed, need of all these qualities to meet the difficulties which will even tually present themselves for solution. We incline to concur with the opinion last night expressed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that nothing short of a re-organisation of our entire fiscal system will suffice for the ultimate settle ment of the finances of the kingdom on a permanent foun d ation. We sincerely hope the new Chancellor may be found equal to the emergency. At all events, the general leeling of the House promises to allow him fair play, and to support him, with less of prejudice than we have witnessed for some time, in grappling with the multifarious difficulties inseperable from his official position.

"Thank you for nothing, says the gallipot." Stich Was the phrase by which the lamented Libera tor of Ireland Was accustomed to express his sense of grandilcquent proposition, usher e d i n w ith l a r ge profession s , b ut from Which no real benefits could be fairly anticipated. The expression would have been peculiarly appropriate to, and, perhaps, have formed the best commentary on, the anxiously-expected budget whiff was last night b rought under the consideration of the House of Com mons. There was nothi ng ,literally nothing done. Everything was permitted to remain in statu quo without vhange or alter ation of any kind. The ineo za ,,_t a , Waii proposed to be re-enacted with all its iniqxdtiva and injustice, but it was only fora single year that it was asked. The advertisement duties, the hop duties were continued in their present shape. Not only was there nothing done, but there was no distinct or definite pledge as to what might be hoped for or an ticipated on a future occasion. The extraordinary tact, the remarkable talent of the Right Honourable Gentleman was never more conspicuous than in the statement, which, although justly denominated " the stand-still budget," nevertheless elicited the all but unanimous approbation of the House, which induced men of all parties, of the most opposite principles, to agree for once in praising the man who had accom pli3hed the difficult task of pleasing every side ; and that rather by the grace of his manner, the charm of his eloquence, than by the substance of his oration. This great success was partly achieved by the skil ful manner in which the hopes of all were excited and kept up, by the candid avowal that it was but " a provisional budget "—a mere makeshift until something better could be introduced, when the whole system of taxation had been subjected to re vision. Something, too, was owing to the lucid and admirable exposition of the actual state of the national finances, which showed that the Right Honourable Gentleman—inexperienced as he was erroneously supposed to be—was completely master of his subject, as much so as the most thorough-going red-tapist that aver addressed a series of pompous platitudes I to the collective wisdom. There was, indeed, no occasion for the numerous apologies which he offered on this part of the case. No indulgence was required on account of the shortness of notice, or brief time for preparation allowed. Had he served an apprenticeship to the office, and been trained to its duties from his earliest youth, he could not have been more completely at home. Those who sneered at his inexperience, or scoffed at his supposed -,,....e ...t.. 1,...,,,,A4A 3 . of fi gures, eehe fancied that a solemn stupidity was essential to the character of a Financial Minister, have been overwhelmed with shame and confusion at the indisputable faiiure of all their predictions. Although personally we feel considerable disap pointment at the absence of any immediate relief to the sufferers under Schedule D, or to those anxious to obtain employment by means of advertisements, we must still confess that there were some exceed ingly satisfactory indications as to the future financial policy of the Government. The almost miraculous results of free trade were never more clearly summed up. The Right Honourable Gentleman, too, pointed out the intense feeling of disgust with which any addition to the Customs or Excise duties would be received, so distinctly as to show that he has no intention of attempting to stem the torrent. His speech was justly considered as a complete abnegation of " protectionism," and as such it was applauded by Messrs. VILLIERS, BRIGHT, HEYWORTH, and others. It was in dicative of a gradual change from indirect to di rect taxation. It is true that the Right Hon. Gen tleman deprecated any attempt " rashly or rapidly to reduce the resources of indirect taxation," but it was only became they " had come to no general conclusion on the principles on which the public revenue should be raised," with a degree of caution, perhaps pardonable in a Chancellor of the Exchequer, although we confess that we should have preferred a less timid and more dashing policy. He does not wish to part with any source of revenue until an adequate substitute, or at least the principle of an adequate substitute, has received the legislative sanction. He pays the Select Com mittee appointed on the motion of, and presided over by, the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose, the compliment of professing himself desirous of waiting for their report before ho arrives at a final conclu sion on the subject. It is not, however, many weeks, we had almost said " many days," since he declared that he would not in any degree delay his statement for their decision, or something to that effect. It has, however, suited his purpose to bring forward every argument in favour of procras tination, and he would not, of course, overlook so strong a point as that above alluded to. He was himself a member of that Committee, and of courne acquainted with flub results of their investigations and the predominant feeling of its members. He would not, however, act thereon, and perhaps some excuse might be found in the im portant revelation which he made—that the Com mittee were unanimously of opinion that the system of exemptions was highly objectionable, and should be got rid of in any permanent legis• lation. This course we have always advocated when pointing out the principle of the land-tax, as originally imposed by 4th William and Mary, cap. 1, as the model for future legislation. In it there was no exemption of any kind or description ; every species of accumulated and realised property, whether productive, or non-productive, was subject to the charge, either according to the actual income or the capitalised value ; and it is with great pleasure that we find so great a prospect of fiscal improve ment as that impl;ed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in this portion of his address. Wiglomeration, as Mr. JARNDYCE happily terms the expensive and intricate movements of the law, is unfor;unately not restricted to the Court of Chan cery. It occasionally manifests itself within the very walls of the Legislature. A lamentable illus tration of this has been recently afforded by the ill success of the efforts made with a view to some comprehensive measure of sanitary improvement. Everyone knows very well that the Metropolitan Interments Bill has proved, as we predicted from the outset, a dead letter. It promised a great deal, and up to the present moment has realized absolutely no thing in the shape even of a questionable advantage. The absurdity of the measure was that it nominally prohibited any continuance of the system of intra mural burials, without providing the public before hand with the means of interring the departed in cheap and accessible suburban cemeteries. The con sequence of this has been precisely what might have been reasonably anticipated—what, indeed, we our selves declared would be inevitable from the com mencement. The old abominations of the London graveyards have been secretly, of cfourHese,albthut still ac tually revived ; yet the Board o flourishes at: Gwydyr House, and, the star of its leader still continues in the' ascendant. Howlongs this is to last becomes at length a matter of serious importance. With the mortality on the in crease, the evils aspired to be removed by the sani tiry reformers remain as rife as ever, or rather, we should say, are daily and hourly being multiplied. The Thames is being polluted more and more abundantly with the overflowings of the sewage matter, which, nevertheless, at the same time accu mulates under the dwellings of the capital, to the gradual Meanwhile dalincrease of the 700 acres surface spoken of the other evening by th e E ar l o f S HAF TESBURY. the water provided for the con sumption of the i n h a bit an t s o f th e c apital preserves its i m p ur it y as percept ibl y as hereto f ore , and the want of ventilation in our more densely po pulated localities tends as manifestly as hitherto to the spread of contagious and epidemic diseases. All the while, moreover, the diminution entrusted with the task of aidi ng in having d of one th m es u e c e h vi w ls h a er r e e pluming them selves upon they have absolutely done nothing—claiming credit, r evelation of th e f acts complained of, whebesides,n those for facts h have been merely appropriated from th e researches of others, and then—mark this— turned to no advanta ge w h atsoever by the Sanitary Commissioners. It would be amusing, but that the subject is one of such obvious solemnity, to observe the really coo l i mper ti n ence with which th e G eneral Board of Health plumes it self u pon having efirstrs brought to light, in 1 649 , stat ements which ten b een published by Mr. G. A. ita before had wAucE, a gentleman who may in a great measure be said to have thus originated the sanitary movement. At page 24 of the official blu e-book re p ort on "A Ge neral Scheme of Extra mural Inter ment , " presented last session by command of her MAJESTY to both Houses of .Parbailament, it is remarked by one of the witne3ses : " Probably no great national question has ever made such rapid progress in public opinion as the one now under con sideration. During the year 1849, I found few per sons willing to brave the prejudices of the majority, and to give evidence as to the evil co nse q uences of burying the dead, generation after generation, in the same graves with their deceased relatives and friends, THE SUN, LONDON, in the midst of the living inhabitants. Even those convinced of the enormity of the evil were anxious to give information privately, and to point to other means of evidence, so as to avoid anything public or personally invidious. The evidence in my reports of that year was chiefly wrung, by an excruciating exa mination, from sextons and other persons officially connected with burial-grounds and interments." Now the passage here extracted from the report of the Board of Health implies that these very wonderful discoveries were made in 1849. In 1849 I When ten years previously, namely, in 1829, a book was issued from the press, not by any obscure printer, but by a publishing house not only the first in the Row, but about the first in all England, the house of the Messrs. LONGMAN, giving the whole of these remarkable revelations from the hand of Mr. G. A. WALKER, under the arresting title of " Gatherings from Graveyards." Since then the same indefatigable labourer in the toil of bringing about some practical system of sani tary improvement has persevered in dragging to light the horrors perpetrated in the London graveyards. His works to this end are spread over an interval of thirteen years from the volume already particularised as published in 1849, to the pamphlet published in 1852, not merely describing the past and present state of intramural burying places, but accompanying the description with practical suggestions for the establishment of national extramural cemeteries. With these productions before them — ranging, as we have shown, over an interval extend ing back to the year 1839—it is wonderful how the Commissioners at Gwydyr Honse can have the effron tery to appropriate to themselves the credit of having favoured the public first with the graveyard revela tions. Possibly the claim is entered by them simply with a view to screen themselves from the charge of indolence. Fortunately that indolence cannot now be very long protracted. Th© cp.eh delivered the night before last by the Earl of DERBY gives us assurance that the hopes of the sanitary reformers are at length approaching the period of their realization. Never before has Prime Minister spoken out so plainly in regard to the exigencies of improvement. The remarks which then fell from the lips of the Noble Earl, the Leader of her MA JESTY'S Government, cannot, indeed, be received as otherwise than constituting an event, and a very im portant event too, in the sanitary movement. They inspire us with a confident anticipation that we have at length arrived at the " beginning of the end," and that before many years have elapsed the mortality of London may be very considerably diminished by the organization of a well-considered scheme of sanitary innovations. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Monileur gives the following summary of Thursday's sitting of the Legislative Body. "The Legislative Boby me t yesterday at three o'clock, M. Billault in the chair. The President stated that he had received four bills, one for the union of two com munes in the department of the Marne; a second, for the creation of a new commune in Corsica; a third, re lating to a loan by the department of the Cotes-du- Nord; and the fourth, concerning a new delimitation of communes in the Seine-et-Marne. These bills were or dered to be referred to the bureaux. The bill to autho rise the city of Bordeaux to contract a loan of 4,800 ; 000f. was then adopted by assis et level, as were three other local bills one authorising the Hautes-Pyrenees to borrow a sum of 41,000 f.; another, authorising the de partment of [the Meuse to impose itself extraordinarily to the extent of five additional centimes on the principal of the four direct taxes; and the third, authorising the department:of the Pas-de-Calais to impose itself in 1853 to the extent of one additional centime. M. Lai , - leis then presented the report of the committee charged to examine the Convict Rehabilitation Bill. The report was ordered to be printed and distributed, and the dis cussion WQ3 fixed for Monday. The sitting was then brought to a close at four o'clock. Before the public sitting the members met in their bureaux to nominate a single committee on seven bills of local interest." General CANROBERT has addressed a second and more detailed report of his mission in the depart ments to the PRESIDENT of the Republic. He con cludes by saying— " Socialism appears to me to have established its prin cipal fortresses in the Nievre, the Cher, the Indre, the Allier, the Crease, and some parts of the Auvergne and the Limousin. The explanation of this circumstance may, doubtless, be found, at least with regard to the three first named of these departments, in the conveni ent but certainly dangerous practice which many large landed.proprietors have of not occupying themselves with their large estates, at a distance from which they reside, and let them out on lease to speculators, who frequently know nothing of cultivation, but are always greedy of gain, and have no other object than that of getting as much out of the land as possible, without caring how much they may impoverish it, and grinding down the country people, who have no property of their own, and are obliged to comply with all their demands." According to the Patrie, the position of corre spondents for foreign newspapers will be made one of serious responsibility ; for the Minister of Police has, according to this authority, resolved on prosecuting correspondents guilty, in his opinion, of publishing false news. The 15th article of the law on the press renders propagators of false news liable to a year's imprisonment and 1,0001. fine. The Minister of Police ought to begin by giving a definition of false news, for a repetition of rumours, subsequently turn ing out false, might involve a correspondent in a trial, and yet occuTrences of importance can some times be explained in no other way than by the im pression produced through rumours of the kind. Attacks on soldiers and incendiarism continue. The following notice has been issued: — ",The reports received from the;officers of gendarmerie, announce that the most energetic meaausres have every where been adopted to put an end to incendiarism and to punish the incendiaries." The Bourse was more firm.

The Berlin journals announce that the raising of the state of siege in Hesse Cassel hes been again ai journed, owing, they say, to the insufficiency of the existing laws against the press. The second sitting of the Congress of Zollverein tc..k place at Berlin, on the 27th. It WES attended by the Delegates of all the States, with the exception of that of Baden, who had not arrived. The King of HANOVER, accompanied by M. DE SCHEELE, his principal Minister, lett Hanover on the .sth, on a visit to the reigning Dukta of BRUNSWICK, on the occasion of the birthday of that Prince. DENMARK. The King of DENMARK whilst out riding, on the 2Gth, in the neighbourhood of the Palace of Frede riksburg, was thrown from his horse , but, fortu nately, he was not at all injured. Hig MAJESTY re mounted and continued his promenade. I ITALY. We learn by accounts from Turin of the 27th ult., that the chief of the Artillery bad just addressed to the Minister of Wm' a report, relative to the explo sion on the previous day, of the powder-magazine of the Bourg Dora, from which we make the following extracts : " The powder exploded at the moment when the work men were quitting their work, viz., at a quarter before twelve. The fire began snontaneously in a mixture of blasting powder, communicating itself to two magazines, each containing 5,800 kilogrammes of powder; thence it passed to cases filled with 2,000 kilogrammes, end then to 3,000 kilogrammes, spread in the open air. " The explosion of the latter set tire to two maga zines eentanoing gunpowder and bleating powder, ex ceeding in quantity 10,000 kilogrammes. " The Duke of Genoa ai.:ved almost immediately on the scen e o f t h e di ses t er , and gave all the necessary di rections.

The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 29th ult. was quiet for Dutch Bonds. Spanish and Mexican were in. favour. The budget appears on the whole to excite very little com ment or attention, as there is nothing novel in it, the renewal of the income-tax being indispensable. The Funds are better as far as outside dealings can test the market, this being, as i s usua l on t h e I s t o f M a y, a holi day. Consols realise 935. E 34.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,— In consequence of Easter falling at such different periods in each year, perhaps the following may be useful to Brighton and other shareholders, as a memento thereof, if you will kindly accord it a place in your valuable journal. I am, Sir, &c., A CONSTANT READER AND BRIGHTON SHAREHOLDER. London, April 30. Aggregate Receipts in round numbers, of Brighton Rail way, for the 13th to 16th weeks inclusive, so as to take in the Easter Holidays in each year: In 1849, 41.769/. ; in 1850, 43,7914 ; in 1851, 48,0831. ; in 1852, 49,265/. The less increase of 1852 over 1851 seems solely owing to the South Eastern's recent opening of the Hastings line; and that drawback now showing its full effect, and that effect being simply to limit this year's increase Co about 300/. per week in lieu of about 500/., as heretofore, it would seem probable that in 1853, and subsequent years, we shall again have about the old increase in cacti successive year, particularly as the further you progress the less per tentage is the given sum of say 5001. on the accumulated takings, therefore the more easily obtainable for an almost indefinite time, unless the population, were to decrease. Should expenses remain the same these increases would, of course, be net. This principle of increase, of course, applies to all runways, and seems so far borne out by the facts.

Phillips, to whom the arduous and sustained labour of Dijah was entrusted, gave " The Lord hath exalted," and the bold passages in the controversy with the priests of Baal " Call him louder," and " 0 thou who makest," with great force and judgment. Miss M. Williams was encored in the air, " 0 rest in the Lord," and warmly applauded in her re citatives. The trio, " Lift thine eyes," by Miss Birch, Miss C. Henderson, and Miss M. Williams, was also re-demanded —the flageolet-like sweetness of the: soprano, the delicate roundness of the second, and the sound fullness of the third voice, exciting enthusiasm in the coldest. Miss Birch and Miss C. Hendersen— to whom the peculiar music of " the Queen," beginning " Have ye not heard ?" was committed— efficiently sustained their parts. Mrs. Temple, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Perren, Mr. Collett, and Mr. Weeks also lent their aid in concerted pieces. The introduction and chorus were ad mirable, as well as the band, under the leadership of Messrs. Surman and H. Blagrove. COURT CIRCULAR. It is understood that the Court mourning being announced so short a time before the ensuing Court ball, her Majesty will dispense with its being worn generally on that evening. This p ermission, however, will not extend to the members of the Court. The Queen had a dinner party on Thursday, at Bucking ham Palace. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, left Buckingham Palace at ten minutes before twelve o'clock yesterday, for the Royal Academy, in Trafalgar.. square. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert were received in Trafalgar-square by Sir Charles Lock Eastlake, President of the Royal Academy, who conducted the Queen and Prince through the different rooms of the exhibition. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Royal suite, re turned in six carriages to Buckingham Palace, at two o'clock. The Honourable Matilda Paget and the Honourable Mary Seyrnour have relieved the Honourable Eleanor Stanley and the Honourable Beatrice Byng, in their duties as Maids of Honour in Waiting to her Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent yesterday, at her residence, Clarence House, St. James's. Her Royal Hig hness the Duchess of Bent, d at s t i e r n G de e d or b g y her Lady in Wa itin g , the Baroness de Speth, n C ou per, honoured t he Princess's Theatre with h er presence last evening. Mr. Hincks, of Canada, and Mr. G. B. Chandler, of New Bruns wick, had an interview w i th the Earl of Derby yester day, at his official residence, in Downing -street. A deputation, consisting of Mr. Crawford, Mr. Ould Mr. Crane, and Mr. M ' Glasham, had an in terview with Sir ' John . Pakington yesterday, at the Colonial -office. Dispatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial-office to the Governors of the North American Provinces. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) APRIL 30. A large ship, reported ito be a Dutchman, laden with tobacco and flour, ran on shore last night in Compton Bay; h er masts have been cut away ; she is on the flatners and has only about four feet water round her at low water; as there is now very little wind, and she makes no water, there are great hopes that she may be got off, the tides being on the increase, but she is in a most dangerous situation. Seve ral vessels are gone round from Cowes to assist in lightening her. 8.30 pm —Wind west and very light; barometer, 29.20; the night tine and clear. It has been suggested by a whaling captain of considerable experience, at Dundee, brother to the ice-master of the Erebus, that the vessels seen, or supposed to have been seen, by the mate of the Renovation in the ice near the Banks of Newfoundland, might have been " white fishing " vessels which had got beset in the ice and driven upon the Virgin Rocks, which are not far from the given latitude of 45 deg. 3 min., and where there aro soundings of from 56 to 70 fathoms. Under this supposition it would be desirable that inquiry should be made at the diterent French ports, whence great numbers of fishermen annually go to the Banks of Newfoundland to prosecute the cod fishing. METROPOLITAN POLICE RETURNS.—The Metro politan Police returns for the year 1851, ending December, have just been issued. From them it appears that during the year 72,397 persons were taken into custody. Of this number 37,363 were discharged by the magistrates, 30,498 were summarily disposed of or held to bail, 4,536 were com mitted for trial, 3,711 were convicted and sentenced, 672 were acquitted, and 153 were not prosecuted. The police district includes 135 parishes, hamlets, and liberties, IMPROVEMENTS IN ST. GILES S.—On Thursday workman were engaged in the erection of two iron columns in the centre of Broad-street, St. Giles's, between Endell.street and Bloomsbury-street, on each of which is fixed a gas lamp, which have been found necessary for the protection of the foot passengers crossing the street, in consequence of the increased traffic of vehicles. For further security some posts are placed round the columns. At the corner of Bloomsbury. street, one of the large houses has been taken by the Corn. mittee of the St. Giles's and St. George's (Bloomsbury) Ragged and Industrial Schools, for the instruction and recla mation of the destitute children of that:locality—this having been the site called the " Rookery," which was the rendez. vous of the most abandoned characters. In Endell-street, rapid pro g ress has been made in raLing baths and wash houses on the east side of the street. - Air EXTRAORDINARY DRAMA.—LoIIa Mantes has engaged a young literary gentleman of New England, son of ➢lra. Ware, one of our somewhat celebrated poetesses, to write a sort of epic drama for her, embodying the principal events of her wayward life, and introducing into the play the eminent characters with whom she has been brought in contact. It will be in five acts, the first two embracing her European life, in which will appear, as leading characters, Louis 1., ex-King of Bavaria; his son, Maximilian II.; Count Pepin, private secretary to Louis ; Lieutenant Ileald and his maiden aunt; Eugene Sue; Dujarrier, editor of Le ir Siecle, and other Parisian literary characters. In theitnh hisd act will be introduced Kossuth ; Prince Bobo, tattooed in native African style; Horace Greek", attired ill th an, . r . iden tical white coat; little Raymond, of the Tu nes , Wcime Lola Arpinin, of the Courrier des Elate Unis. will play the leading rsle herself.—New Yo rk Her a ld. i s a " What is the ♦alue of a ton . of tu_r . nip o s a . question which has frequently day, the value of a trial been discussed in the Doncaster County Court the other an acre of turnips sold and eaten off the ground was settled at 51. 10s. t.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MOANING CHRONICLE. Sir,—The " late" Protectionists are aghast at the confes sions of their Chancellor of the Exchequer. His financial statement was neither more nor less than an unequivocal testimony to the merits of the financial and commercial policy of the late Sir Robert Peel. He actually went out of his way to answer the fallacies promulgated by the leading organs of the Government, touching the alleged falling-off of the income-tax. But he faintly sanctioned the Protec tionist creed in one respect. He prophesied that rents and farmers' profits would decline for a period. But what of that? Did not the Whigs go farther? Did they not actually in sert a recognition of agricultural distress in the Queen's Speech ? And did not Lord Derby distinctly state at Bury that if the people at large prospered under free-trade, whilst some partial suffering fell to the lot of the aviculturists, he, for one, should endeavour heartily to rejoice at it. The cheers which hailed the first Caucasian budget came prin cipally from the Opposition benches. And well they might. The greater part of Mr. Disraeli's statements relating to the improved condition of the finances were borrowed, without acknowledgment, from Mr. G. C. Lewis's pamphlet. Your very obedient servant, ANTI-HUMBUG. April 30. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. TOTNES. (1120 M OUR COARESZONDENT.) FRIDAY EVENING.- The two rival condidates, Mr. Mills (Liberal) and Mr. Barry Baldwin (Conservative) have been prosecuting their canvass for the last two or three days with the utmost vigilance. Mr. Mills has certainly met with great success, and unless there be an unusual amount of bribery and intimidation at the ensuing election, your humble correspondent ventures to proclaim there can be no doubt of Mr. Mills's election, from the numerous important adhesions and conversions to the cause of real free trade and reform. Mr. Baldwin's friends, however, boast of being cer tain of carrying their old friend, who has represented Totnes for many years, having, as he states in his address, first pre sented himself (to the old corporation) 26 years since, and has been successful on six occasions, after several bard fights, on two or three occasions winning by a bare majority of three, and once being run to a dead heat. Lord Seymour (the other Liberal Free-trader) need net take much trouble about his election ; his conduct in Par liament has given satisfaction to the constituents generally, and as his Lordship, who has considerable influence, very properly observes neutrality with regard to the second seat, it is thought he will poll about four fifths of the entire number of electors. There are at present but 337 names on the register, which from deaths and double entries is still further reduced to 325. At the last election Lord Seymour polled about 280; Mr. Baldwin, 154; Mr. Ricardo, 151. Several of Mr. Baldwin's former supporters having now promised Mr. Mills, I cannot see how ho can be beaten, as I do not hear of a single desertion from the Liberal side. Mr. Mills having submitted to the test of a p ublic meeting, many electors inquire the reason that Mr. Baldwin does not adopt a similar cuurse. None such has yet been announced by the Conservative party. THE LATE MR. WILLIAM BRAN.—On Togs lay m orning last, at the early age of 23, Mr. William Bean, one of the editors of the Liverpool Albion, passed into eternity. The deceased was the youngest son of the late Mr. Thomas Bean, founder, editor, and proprietor of the Albion, and to say that he was worthy of such a father is to pay the highest possible compliment to both. The management of the paper now devolves on his similarly-gifted brothers, long associated with him in the editorial department.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. O Tuesday James M. Betide!, Esq., President, in the chair. The paper read was " Railway Accidents; their cause and means of prevention; detailing perticu tar)), the various contrivances which are in use, and hevo been proposed; with the regulations of some of t! e principal lines." By Captain Mark Huish, Assoc. Inst. C.E. The author first considered those points connected with the road, and the machinery employed upon it, from which loss of life, and injury to person and pro perty, most generally arose. With regard to the road, or permanent way, from which fewer accidents occurred than from any other cause, its complete effectiveness was the basis of all safety in railway travelling; and for keeping it up constant vigilance was necessary, especi ally when any great and sudden change of weather took • place, as then the weak points were sure to show them selves. It was a very rare occurrence for trains to run off the line; and when they did so, it was more generally due to obstructions designedly placed on the line than to any neglect of the superintendents, or the platelayers. It was little suspected how frequent, how ingenious, and how varied the attempts had become, to inflict a fearful injury by these means; and though, providentially, bat comparatively trifling damage had resulted from such causes, yet it was lamentable to find, that in addition to all ordinary risks, so diabolical a mode of wreaking a petty vengeance , or gratifying a mischievous disposition, had to be guarded against. Of late the punishment for such offence bad . been made more severe; and it was to be hoped that this would have the effect of lessening their number. ' Owing to the rapid development of the traffic, and per" titularly of the heavy goods traffic, on the main art& rid. lines of the country, increased aiding accommoda• diction, had become necessary; in the case of the Lon don and North-Western Railway alone, upwards of fifty-three miles had been laid down within the last fog years, although, by multiplying points and crossings, t his had, pro rank, increased the liability of accident; for it might be received as an axiom, that anything which broke the continuity of a rail tended to develop° danger. Ah however, there were no means of avoiding these fro' qaent " turns out," judicious regulations combined with effective signals must be relied on, and now that facing points were reduced in number, the liability to danger had been diminished. Th e use o f se lf- ac ting switches was attended with evils of no trifling magei - • tude, and many accidents bad occurred from reliance them; indeed, as a general rule, machinery to supersede personal inspection and manipulation was fraught W ill' danger. With respect to the rolling stock, it appeared from n return of one thousand cases of engine failures and de' fects, within two years on the London and North-Western Railway, that burst and leaky tubes nearly doubled eel other class of failure, and that these, with broken springs and broken valves, amounted to one-third of the whole number; and though they caused no direct danger to th l) public; yet as producing a temporary, or permanent in' ability of the engine to carry on its train, they migh t be the remote cause of collision. The passenger carriages from its perfect manufacture, presented almost complet e immuaity from accident, for during the last four years out of the large stock of the London and North-Wester n , Railway only six wheels had failed, and though at firss some annoyance and alarm had been experienced front . heated axles, yet by the recent introduction of the patent axle-box, it had been much reduced' The same praise could not be bestowed on the merchandize waggon, as in no portion of the system had so little improvement b e en made , the fracture of axles was frequ e nt, the Ler ; of coupling very defective, and the want of buffers, or even of buffers of the same height and wi ; l o rendered the destruction of property enormous• nr loss of life from fire, either from heated coke. L spontaneous combustion, had occurred to a P 7,;• senger train, but there had been some palt ° E escapes. These and other circumstances h a d led tne „ ( persons to suggest various contrivances f or ootoleu";,' eating between the passengers, the g u ar d, and t,,r engine -driver, almost all of which were identical in P„,r h 11 1; ' ciple consisting of a connecting wi re , or rope. •iti— planhad been tried and failed. A more feasible 01 : favourite one was that recommended by the railw a y Commissioners, which was to cont i nue the foot -boar"' so as to form a narrow platform, from end to end of I ° s train, but a committee of railway officials had garble' quently expressed their unanimous condemnation of A the measure. The plan now adopted on the Lo o s and North-Western R a il way , was f or the gua r " - van at the end of the train, to project about a toot be , yontl the other carriages, so that the guar d looking through a window i n this projection, might Doti° the waving of a hand, or a handkerchief ; this was, of wallet useless at night. of All these ceases, however, did not produce a tithe the accidents which resulted from a want of attention t 2 signals, and a neglect of regulations, which of all sources of danger were the most prolific. Railway sty tionary signals had been greatly improved of late year; and the introduction of the lofty semaphores an d t anxiltiary signals really left nothing to be desired. Di!" Bides these there were the hand signals to be used by . P h ; guards, in case of stoppages between stations, and,%,"b detonating signals to prevent collisions daring a fog ? wo ce ' d, latter supplied a deficiency that had been experle p oa and they were found to answer exceedingly well. o der , Electric Telegraph had greatly facilitated working.ff e ete variable circumstances, and so b ene fi c i a l had i n t i , i s v9s' been, that, during the year 1851, out o f 7,90°0"" teed, sengers, or nearly one-thi r d o f t h e popu l at i on of Eng tea who had travelled o ver t h e L ondon and Nort•h -Wes f l ea Railway, only one indi v id ua l h a d wet w ith lf e ed), death (from which c asua l ty t h e aut h o r 11180 S „ ' co of and this was the effect of th e graves t disobedilitio orders. In the six months during which the Ez ,,, b 2 irs ion was open, 775,000 persons were conveyed by ia trains alone, in 24,000 extra carriages, a ll central: lo g a single focus, arriving at i r regul a r hours, and 111 . s e ,, s ee, unlimited numbers, fr om more th an thirty re" - J o e without the most trifling casua lty, o r even interrup to the ordinary extensive business of the line. s t. The author thought undue importance had been .h. tached to the question of irregularity in . 1 " o f times of the trains, as an essential eleme n t li p safety, for with perfect signals, and a l ea d disciplined staff, no amount of irregularity should to danger; but, on the contrary, it should, to a r o d tain extent, by its very uncertainty, induce inc r ;„ to vigilance, and therefore greater safety. Accl very rarely happened from foreseen circumstances, L'.4 generally from a simultaneous conjunction of se ie r4 , causes, and each of these was provided 1d as it arose. The statisties of railways, 0 sever the periodical publication of the G o yeren i: 6 returns, drew public attention very eei t n ee s e to the aggregate of accidents; but ", fa iv r ee believed, that If due regard was had to comear frn i ll 'W - ai sults, if the accidents to steamers, or in mines , —-121 usefully bus passengers, or even to pedestrians, were as As o recorded, and then, whether as regarded the j g and celerity of transit, or the facility of e " ve later numbers, the railway system, even in its prisent 6- the r would be found to be incomparably safer than an Y system in the previous, or present history of l000n 1 °" $ It was announced that the discussion cn this elle-bairhe would be resumed at the meeting of Tuesday, 1 " - ,_ %we, awnhde,nitth limo m m e o monthly ballot for Members would te" la be " permitted, the following paper wen - ss read:—" Observations on Artificial Hydraulic! er Prio>< land Cement; with an account o f t h e t es ting of thea . beam erected at the Great Exhibition," by Mr. White, Assoc.
