THE FALL OF THREE HOUSES AT OLD BROMPTON-INQUEST ON THE MAN KILLED BY THFAB, FALL. - On Se !Ala eveniteg 'at half-past six, Mr. G. J. Mills , Deputy Coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest in the large room of the Hoop and Toy Tavern, Old Brompton road, on the body of James Casey, aged forty-three Let" a bridW.ayer's labourer, in the employ of Messrs. William and James Emmens, builders, of Rawstorne streets Knightsbridge, and Notting-hill, who was killed , the fall of three new houses in the course of erection inAlfred-place West, Thurlow-square, Old Brompton, Olt the evening of Thursday last. The inquiry excited intense interest, the room being densely and inconveniently crowded by the respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Amongst those pre sent were Mr. Donaldson (late Chairmen of the West minster Court of Sewers), district surveyor for the parish of Kensington, in which the houses were erected ; and Mr. Blore, the surveyor to Mr. Alexander, on whose property the houses were erecting. The Jury (on which were several gentlemen con nected with building matters) having been sworn, pro ceeded to view the bode' of the deceased, which was lying in an adjoining room, and which presented a shocking spectacle. Ou their return to the inquest room the ibllowing evidence was gone into:— - Patrick Nkrra deposed that he lived at No. 21, Jen ning's-beildings, Kensington. Found the deceased about seven o'clock on Friday morning in the ruins in Alfred-place West, Old Brompton. Deceased was quite dead and stiff, having been covered with a quantity of bricks and mortar which had been removed from off him. 411 he body was brought to that house. Deceased had been in the employ of Messrs. Emmens all the summer, but witness had only been on those works for the last five weeks as a bricklayer's labourer. Witness left the build ipgs about five on the Thursday evening, leaving the de ceased and a man named John Collins standing on the scaffolding, they being the two scaffolders. Deceased was quite sober at that time. About ten minutes afterwards 'Witness was still in the neighbourhood, and heard the noise of the fall of the first two houses. The scaffold witness had spoken of was round the chimneys of the middle of the three houses which have fallen. By the DEPUTY CORONER—Received directions from Mr. Bmmens when he was present, at other times from that gentleman's son, and when be was not present from One of the bricklayers of the name of Stockwell. Did not know the cause of the houses falling down. Had never pointed oat that the materials were improper for the 'purpose, and that the buildings were unsafe. Never took any notice of the materials. Never thought himself in danger when on the works. Had seen the surveyor come to look over the buildings, and also Mr. Holmes, the bead-master, who came every day. Mr. .Bmmens was doing the work for Mr. Holmes. Never beard Mr. Holmes say anything about the place being unsafe. Could not say how often he had seen the sur veyor at the buildings. John Walsh was the next witness examined.—He de posed that he had been engaged on the works under Messrs. Emmens as tejebourer for nearly a twelvemonth. Was not present whft the houses fell. Did not leave them from any fear of danger, but at the usual time of leaving the work. Did not think it was his place to ex amine the quality of the materials used. The DEPUTY CORONER inquired if the man Collins, who Was on the scaffold with the deceased when the houses fell, was able to attend and give his evidence ? Martin, the summoning officer, said he was not. Col lins was still under the care of Mr. Guazzaroni, the parish surgeon, who said he would not be able to attend until the beginning of the ensuing week. He was in jured on his head, side, and arm. The DEPUTY CORONER said he was afraid that would be the case, but had he not opened the inquiry that evening he bold net have done so until Tuesday or Wednesday next, which would have prevented the body being removed away from that house until then. After same conversation between the Deputy Coroner and the jury as to the propriety of an immediate ad journment, The DEPUTY CORONER said he would first examine Mr. Holmes, and, while doing so, directed that Mr. Donaldson and Mr. Blore should leave the room, which they did. Mr. Thomas Holmes deposed that he lived in Little Belgrave-street, Pimlico. He bad employed Messrs. Emmens to find the lime and labour in erecting the houses, he (witness) providing the bricks. The numbers of the houses that had fallen down were 25, 27, and 29. The erection of those houses was commenced about two months ago at 655. per rod, by measurement, to be • finished in a workmanlike manner to the satisfaction of witness. The works were visited by Mr. Donaldson, the district surveyor, and by Mr. Blore, the surveyor to the estate, the latter almost daily. Witness objected to any materials he disapproved of, and de puted Mr. Chapple, his foreman to do so in his (witness) absence. Mr. Chapple bad done so with respect to a Inifilred houses which witness had erected. Mr. Chapple had never complained to witness that the work of those houses had not been done properly. Never received any complaint from the district surveyor on the subject. Gave the usual notices required by the Building Act to the district surveyor, which was evident by his attend ing. Could not say when he last saw Mr. Donaldson at the works. It was some time ago when he saw him there' Saw Mr. Bloomfield, Mr. Donaldson's deputy, th ere oftener than Mr. Donaldson. Mr. Blore was also in the habit of visiting the works, and he expressed a wish that hoop iron should be used to tie the walls, which was ex tensively done. By the DEPUTY CORONER—Attributed the falling of - the houses to the wet weather, and the number of men who had been running up and down the ladder and scaf fold for some days before, which, added to the wet weather, occasioned the toppling of the chimneys, which would bring down the whole of the building with it, as it was all tied together. The DEPUTY CORONER asked Mr. Holmes if the jury were then to understand that the chimneys having top died on a damp house had occasioned the fall ? Mr. Holmes replied that and other things together. The Deputy CORONER said they had then come to this point, vii., that the accident had been occasioned by the toppling of the chimneys upon a damp house. Mr. Benning (a juror) wished to know the height of the wall above the joists of the attic flooring ? Mr. Holmes—About twenty feet. By the DEPUTY CORONER—Witness had not got the written agreement between him and Messrs. Emmens with him, as he did not think it could affect the ques tion the jury had to decide. Formerly persons building could put wood in party-walls; but since the New Build ing Act had come into operation not an inch must be put in. In witness's opinion party-walls are not so sound now as they were before. That was witness's opinion as a builder. The act came into operation in Januar', 1845. • The DEPUTY CORONER desired Mr. Holmes to ex plain to the jury what was the difference between the modes of building walls before and after the passing of the Ne* Building Act. Mr. Holmes explained that now wood must not be put into party-walls, which might be done before the passing of the Act. There was no difference beyond that. NO wood bonds were now used. The houses were built in accordance with the provisions of the New Building Ask Thought houses built without wool bends were not so safe, and that the alteration was an injudicious one. Had heard many other builders say so. Buildings were more substantial with wood bonds, and far more safe, for hoop-iron bonds will bend. The rea- On for leaving out wood was to prevent the extension of fires, anefitherefore thought the benefit derived from the alteration WV greater than the injury. The bricks used were Cowley bricks, which were considered the best a! bricks. The mortar was good, for he had seen wort e on other buildings. Tile DEPUTY CORONER having directed that Mr. Do naldson and Mr. Blore be re-called, Mr. Donaldson, in answer to questions put to him be the Deputy Coroner, without being sworn, said that he had found no occasion to complain of the materials used or the mode of erection, except that they put bats, which are small bricks, at the foundation, when he wished them to put goid bricks there. His duty was only to attend to the thickness of the wall. Mr. Holmes was building under an agreement with Mr. Alexander (the owner of the property), and Mr. Blore, his surveyor, bad the right CO object to any materials. Thought the lime used geed. Could not prevent builders using bats. He had only to do with the quality of the bricks used, and not with the form or size. Mir. Holmes observed that he had had several walls not raised very high, fail, and so had other builders. The DOPUTT ConoNsat remarked that if a wall fall without having the suparincumbent weight upon it, it did not argue well for its security. Mr. Don,aldson further said that a house might as well be run up ift six weeks as in six months, and, therefore, he could not complain, in this ease, of haste. The chim neys above the attic floor, for the 20 feet, were one foot ten inches thick, and when that topple i over, it took the attic joists with it, which caused the front and back walls to double in, being in a green state. The number of labourers which follow each other closely in a string, occasioned a continued rocking of the ladder, and caused the acchleat. The DMTY CORONER wished to ask Mr. Donaldson ythere he derived that informationm, as he ws not there at the time of the accident ? T ha t was just what the jury wanted to know. Mr. Donaldson said, from the labourers. lie did not know their names. Marra was one that told him so. The DEPUTY CORONER asked if the facts which had seen disclosed were known before the Building Act was passed ? Mr. Donaldson replied that he and about twenty other earvey - Oli were applied to by both members of the Lords ljnd Commons for their opinions on the subject, and it was decided that keeping wood out of party-walls would effect a great saving from fire. If a building was ex amined after a fire it would be seen that the wood was sill burned out, and only holes left in the walls. Thought tan iron hoop tie was as good as a wood one. No wood 'faits now permitted in a party-wall where there are chimneys. Thought more timber might be put in front Mr.. Holme s, being recalled, in answer to a juror, said,was no in his opinion, bricks only being used in a wall no cheaper i&wood was used. Mr- Wore in l A s s a w ; r h to questions put to him by the Deputy Ce;)ner, the buildings on Tuesday last, when he c'ompiain:dsr that there was not sufficient bonding in the wall, a nd told the wo r k men th a t th ey courses must take fiv e or s i x of bricks off. He asked, to see Mr. Emmen s , but was es told s he was not there. He then ECtiked for Mr. Einmen; but he was not there. He then saw Mr. Stockwellsoth told. him what he desired should be' doeneo.rern' who opinion that it had not . been done, as the wall had, " hal before it fell, been carried up to a great height. Did no t stay to see that it as done. Prefe rre d b on d tim Was bey, but iron tying does for it. Wood bonds were liable to fire. Thought, when he was last there, that they were gettieg on too fast, but he had no power to stop them. In his opinion wood was the best bond and tie to a. wall that could possibly be had. Dlr. Donaldson further said that wet weather had e. great effect on buildings that were going on. He con sidered that the oscillation of the men running up and down the ladder and scaffold was very likely to have caused the toppling of the chimneys when the scaffold was removed, which the deceased and Collins were en gaged in doing at the time of the fall. Mortar when used ought to be let set ; for when it is moved by the oscillation he had spoken of it gets rotten. The DEPUTY CORONER said he should then adjourn the inquiry until Wednesday next. A person in the crowd here begged permission, before the inquiry was adjourned, to address the Coroner. His name was, he said, John Dowler, living in Chelsea. Ho was a bricklayer, and wished to give his evidence in de fence of his order. He had examined the materials, and could give evidence respecting them. The DEPUTY CORONER asked him if he was employed en the works ?—He said he was not, but he had exa mined the materials since the accident, and he wished the Deputy Coroner would appoint some eminent sur veyor, quite unconnected with all the parties to examine the materials, and give an unbiased and impartial opinion of them. The DEPUTY CORONER said he did not like volunteer evidence, and therefore would not examine him that night. He might, however, give his name and address to the summoning officer, and might perhaps be examined on Wednesday. Strangers were then ordered .to withdraw, and the Deputy Coroner remained with the jury for about a quarter of an hour, when the inquiry was adjourned at twenty minutes to nine o'clock. The body of the deceased was removed immediately after the adjournment to his lodgings at Kensington to be " waked," and was followed by a large assemblage of his countrymen. Inspector Barefogt, B division, was present at the inquiry and took cdpious notes of the proceedings. EDUCATION IN BIRMINGHAM. A c mmittee of inquiry, appointed by the clergy of the Established Church residing in Birmingham, have, after a long inquiry, produced the following report on the state of education:-- "The attention of the clergy having been recently called to the general state of education in Birmingham, and especially to that of the younger children, a com mittee of inquiry was appointed by them to obtain sta tistics, and report more accurately on the facts of the case. "From this report it appears that the population of the borough of Birmingham cannot be estimated at less, than 200,000 souls; and of this number it is calculated ' that 92,000 are between the ages of two years and fif teen years, and of these probably 25,000 are in circum stances to require aid in providing for their education. On dividing again this number into two classes, accord ing to the age at which children are deemed admissible into infant or national schools, it is found that about 10.000 are between the ages of two and seven, and 15,000 between the ages of seven , and fifteen. In regard to this latter class, educational provision has been made, either by the Church of England or by other bodies, fur 7,749 in daily schools; a proportion which, comparatively speaking, must be considered sa tisfactory, when it is remembered how large a number of these are necessarily occupied either at home, in do mestic service, or in the workshop. But in regard to the 10,000 young children between the ages of two and seven, the case is very different, and altogether unsatisfac tory. Provision in infant schools has been made by the Church of England for 2,260, and by other religious bodies, as far as it could be ascertained, for 530, leaving upv.ards of 7,000 children, all capable of receiving in struction, but debarred from it by want of adequate op portunities. " As practically acquainted with the value of early in struction and the circumstances of the population, the clergy cannot look upon this state of things without grave concern and alarm; chiefly for these reasons:— " 1. These children cannot receive that domestic care and instruction which children in a higher rank would do; for in many cases the mothers, as well as the fathers, are engaged in manufacturing employment, and their children of necessity entrusted to the care of other chil dren, little older than themselves, and altogether inca pable of exercising over them any beneficial influence or constraint, either for their physical or moral improve- IRELAND. EMPLOYMENT ON PUBLIC WORKS. DUBLIN, Nov. 12. With a view of preventing, if pos sible, the mischievous abuse of leaving the land untitled, which threatens to be one of the results consequent upon the inducement hold out by the prospect of lighter la bour on public works, a placard, of witch the following is a copy, has been extensively posted throughout the North Riding of Tipperary:— " TO TEE LABOURING PEOPLE. " At a meting of the Relief Committee of Thurles, held on the 29th of October, 1846, the following resolu tions, proposed by the Venerable Archdeacon Cotton, and seconded by the Rev. William Barron, were unani mously adopted:— " Resolved—That we have every reliance on the quiet and peaceable conduct of the labouring population of Thurles and its neighbourhood. At the same time, we hereby declare most positively, that we will not a second time recommend for work, nor give relief to, any person discharged from the public works by the engineer or those acting under his directions, or who shall in any manner oppose or obstruct them. " Resolved—That as we consider that public works, though necessary at this time, ought not tc interfere with the ordinary operations of agriculture, we will not recommend for employment any person who shall have left his work in the country, or shall have refused to accept work when offered to him by any farmer in his neighourhood, at fair and reasonable wages ; and if we find any such persons already employed in the public works, we will immediately withdraw our recommenda tions, and will recommend the engineer to dismiss them.' " NICHOLAS V. MAHER, Chairman. "JAMES B. KENNEDY, Secretary." DAY OF HUMILIATION. The following is a copy of the " Circular" addressed by his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin to the clergy of his diocese, in reference to the observance of the 20th inst. as a day of public humiliation and prayer : "Rev. Sir,—l have fixed ou Friday, the 20th of No vember, to be observed as a day of public humiliation and prayer in reference to the impending famine. "I have made choice of that day as being the same that the Lord Primate has appointed for his own diocese, and has recommended to the bishops of his province. " You will, of course, take care to give due notice to your congregation next Su - aday, at the time of Diving service, and in whatever mode you may'think best. "The hour or hours for divine service I leave to your discretion ; but I think it most important that the cele • bration of the Lord's Sapper, once at least, should form a part of the service on the day . appointed. That holy ordinance being so peculiarly significant of the Com munion of Saints' (i. e. the fellowship or brotherhood among Christians), as to be frequently even designated simply as The Holy Communion,' is the more especially appropriate to such an occasion, as thus reminding us of our duty towards our suffering brethren. It is, more over, usual for the Eucharist to be administered on occa sions of pressing danger ; and the practice is not unrea sonable, provided men are but guarded against the error of thinking that it is to be reserved exclusively for such occasions. " And when your people are especially called on to reflect on and turn away from their sins, it will be most appropriate to remind them of one so obviously remark able as that of habitually absenting themselves from the Lord's table, which too many even of those who do at tend Divine worship are guilty of. Those who are duly sensible of the sinfulness of such neglect will, of course, be anxious to embrace the very first opportunity of com mencing a new course in that respect ; which oppor tunity, therefore, it is most desirable should be afforded them immediately. "In your sermon you will, I trust, point out to your people how such a calamity as that now impending should be viewed, and should be met by Christians. And, in particular,you will, I hope, see the importance of guard ing against an error which is but too prevalent—l mean that of any one who presumes to pronounce that those of his neighbours who are especial sufferers are neces sarily objects of Divine displeasure, on account of some sins with which he thinks fit to charge them. Our Lord's warning is at all times, but most especially on an occa sion like the present, needful to be impressed on men's minds:—' Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things ? I tell you, nay; but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.' " We know, indeed, the temporal calamities were, on many occasions sent as Divine judgments on those - guilty of certain specified sins; but we know this only from .Scripture—from the declaration of inspired prophets and apostles, who denounced, by authority from Heaven, the very visitations which in each instance were sent; and for uninspired and fallible men to take upon them to pronounce any such sentence on their neighbours is not piety, but presumptuous profaneness. " You should also warn those who are themselves ex posed to the severest portion of the general suffering not to be cast down in despondency, but to remember that they are followers of a religion whose Founder was crucified, and whose first preachers were exposed to want, to persecution, and to hardships of every kind; all which they endured with unshaken trust in their great Master, who has given us no promise of immunity from temporal sufferings, but who has held out to us a hope of far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,' if we endure our trials with Christian fortitude an pa tient faith. " Those, again, who are so circumstanced as not to be likely to be, in any great degree ; personal sufferers should be warned against r egarding this exemption as any sign of their being special favourites of 11-aven, and more well pleasing in God's sight than their afflicted brethren. They should be exhorted, on the contrary, to come forward with liberal and considerate kindness to relieve their dis tressed neighbours to the utmost of their ability. To these latter, again, you should point out the extreme folly, as well as wickedness, of aggravating, by outrage and destruction of property, the distress with which the hand of Providence has visited the land, and of making this a plea or a pretext for lawless violence. ment.* "2. The number of private or dame schools esta blished throughout Birmingham, while their existence proves the utter inadequacy of the present eductaional provision, forms but a very partial and insufficient remedy; the mariner of instruction is loose and ill directed, the instruction itself defective, and the places in which it is carried, on close and unwholesome. " 3. When children thus brought up attain fo the age of seven years, and become admissable to a National school, the wandering andunsteady habits acquired from past years of idleness forma new and serious impedi ment to impr3vement. " 4. The value of labour, and the variety of employ ments in which the young are now engaged, make it ab solutely necessary that education should begin whilst yet they can be spared from labour, at'the earliest mo ment the mind and feelings are ready to receive it. In a manufacturing population, children, if not educated very young, will for the most part not be educated at all. "5. The state of the Infant Schools already estab lished in Birmingham, shows their value by the eager ness with which the poor avail themselves of their ad vantages. They are, without exception, well attended ; and what is of great consequence, are found capable, when established in proper situations of nearly, if not entirely supporting themselves. " The remedy for the present evil would seem, there fore, to consist in the establishment of infant school rooms, of a cheap and simple construction, in the most crowded parts of the town. More than thirty situations may be pointed out where such rooms could be advan tageously placed. But, of course, the question whether this want can be supplied, depends upon the answer to this question, viz.:—Whether the merchants, manufac turers, and inhabitants, who possesi the means of sup plying it, feel the responsibility of endeavouring to re move this fearful source of misery and crime, which the absence of early care and instruction necessarily produces. " We are confident that our brethren of the laity need only to have the state of the case put before them, in order to secure their liberality and exertions in a case so deeply involving the spiritual and temporal welfare of the next generation. They will, therefore, be earnestly requested to attend a meeting, on an early occasion, when details to whic - h reference has been made can be fully laid before them, and the question decided whether these seven thousand infants shall remain without the means of education, or whether a general effort shall be made throughout Birmingham to remedy a state of things so greatly injurious to the best interests of the children themselves, and the good order and well being of the community.

With our feelings about war and military affairs, our interest is not very strong in the details of army ma nagement. Yet, considering the army as one of the in stitutions of the country at present deemed necessary, engaged in, consistently with their sense of right, by many excellent men, and secured by the people, for their supposed service, at an immense annual cost, we have a right to watch the fairness with which its honours and rewards are distributed, and, if there is any appearance of individuals being neglected and deprived of what they might justly expect, because they have bestowed their leisure in endeavouring to be useful to their country be yond the sphere of their profession, such a circumstance ought to be exposed and condemned. There are few names more honoured by the friends of freedom and progress in the British Isles than that of Colonel Thompson. His various writings show intellec tual qualities of the highest order, and his integrity, consistency, and ardour, in endeavouring to serve his country, are unquestionable, and above all imputation. He has the distinguished honour of having first made the real merits of t he Corn-law q ues t i on understood b y the masses ; and, by his clearness of statement, force of argument, variety of illustration, and brilliancy of wit, having dispelled all obscurity, and made men feel the real practical importance of free trade. As a politician, Colonel Thompson has sometimes been called impracticable, and there are both honest and enlightened Liberals, who cannot always go with him. Oa the present occasion we will allow ourselves neither to blame nor to defend him. We never heard any rea sonable person question his great usefulness, on the whole, as a public man, or the disinterestedness and self-de votedness with which he has laboured to promote what he thought right. Allowance must be made for differ ence of opinion, as to principles and modes of action ; but an honest zeal for the public good, supported by great acknowledged talent, and high personal character, ought to command respect everywhere ; and what must be the state of the country, where such qualities are a disqualification for advancement in the public service? It appears from the Army List, that Colonel Thomp son was the oldest Lieutenant -Colonel of 1829, and, con sequently, his name ought to have stood first among the eighty-three officers promoted to be Colonels. Whence is this omission? What will the people think of their friend—the friend of freedom and improvement—the in domitable enemy of corruption, monopoly, and all mis government—being thus deprived of the reward of his past services? Her Majesty's Ministers are now men who are called Liberals,—they are men whose public conduct has distinctly recognised that Colonel Thomp son has been right in his arduous Anti-corn-law struggle, and has done a great service by.his eminent success in that cause. The Commander-in-Chief may not like free-trade, but he has been obliged to submit to it, and it is intolerable that he should be allowed to express his vexation at its success, by indirectly punishing its advo- " I remain, Rev.

DEDICATED (BY PERMIS SION) TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—At a time when a great national monument is raised, con spicuously, to the Hero of a Hundred Fights, it is aid mating to find our fellow-countryman, the Reverend Author, stepping forth to lift from the rank; a private soldier well worthy of admiration. In the volumes be fore us we have the stirring scenes of a soldier's life, and the history of his daughter, wife, and widow, under the various difficulties of a situation calling for all the energies of a manly heart, and all the strength and re lying love of a woman's unshrinking spirit. The first and third volumes are for the most part taken up with domestic scenes of a most interesting character, af fording good examples for our soldiers, and for civilians also, for few can read without benefiting themselves. The second volume is an admirable epitome of the Penin sular war, from the beginning to the end—from the vic tory of Talavera to Toulouse—full of incidents, narra tives of extraordinary events, perils and preservations. Upon the whole, m e are persu aded,? whatever may be the present impression this most interesting work may make upon the public mind, it will stand the test of posterity. —Bury Herald _ -_ _ . The first purchase of gold for export since October, 1840, occurred on Friday, a small quantity having been taken for liamburgh. It must be understood, however, that this is an abstraction from the market merely, snd not from the currency. Last week several arrivals of gold took place from South America, all of which went to the Bank of England, as usual ; this week arrivals still continue, but it has been found now worth while, as is shown in the above case, for parties seeking remit tances to the continent to give the same price (31. 17s. 9d. per ounce) as would have been given by the Bank. Consequently, instead of passing into the hands of that establishment, to swell the existing amount of the cir culation, the gold in question has left the country im mediately after its arrival, the only effect being that the circulation remains stationary where it would otherwise have increased. When the arrivals shall altogether cease, and it shall prove profitable to purchase gold for export at the rate of 3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce, then the demand, operating wholly on the amount held by the Bank, must produce, step by step, a corresponding con traction in the money market. How TO MAKE A CHEAP LOAP.—At the annual dinner of the Williton and Dunster Agricultural Asso ciation, held at Williton on the sth instant, the Rev. Mr. Escott produced an excellent loaf of bread, which he said could be easily made at 40. the 41b loaf from wheat worth Bs. a bushel. The Rev. Gentleman gave the fol lowing explanation of the process :—" Take a bushel of wheat, as it comes from the mill, and remove it from the coarse bran. Boil this bran in water, till it makes a thick gruel. Strain this through a cloth, and mix it with the flour, instead of water, having added salt and yeast, as for other bread. After the sponge is - set, leave it for six hours, then knead it with the brad gruel, and let it rise for twelve hours. Bake the 41b. loaves two hours and a half. Now this bread could be made at the rate he had stated ; and he would venture to say that better bread need not be placed upon any rich man's table." Upon this subject the chairman (Sir W. Trevelyan) remarked that he had heard a labourer say that he had put up an oven in his cottage, at a cost of 11., and he found, from baking his own bread, he saved a shilling a week. THE OLD WOMAN AND THE TELEGRAPH.—Last week a hawker called with his goods at a small house by the side of the York and Newcastle (Brandling Junc tion) Railway, about half a mile from the station at South Shields, and found an old woman at home alone. His oily tongue and glittering wares tempted her to break into a piece of gold, and become a purchaser. After he had taken his departure by the train she de tected a bad half-crown among the change he had given her. She had read the newspapers and had also heard her neighbours talk of the wonderful electric telegraph ; so, snatching up the kitchen poker, and climbing up the embankment, she rushed to the wires to give an alarm. But the poker was not long enough to reach the ma chinery. Back she ran to her cottage, caught up the ' long brush," and remounting the railway, rattled the wires of the telegraph and bawled out at the top of her voice to ha toin v f e orm I`dr.

The times have been when officers were struck off the list of the army for giving a vote in the House of Com mons displeasing to the Commander-in -Chief for the time being. It might be supposed that such arbitrary proceedings would no longer be endured; but their principle is completely revived in stopping a man from the promotion to which length of service entitled him, because, according to his conscientious conviction, he has endeavoured to advance the true interests of his country. The people may now see how devotion to them is appreciated in high quarters, and to what extent they have reason to confide in a nominally-liberal Administration. They are called upon to consider whether officers not on active service are forbidden to express an opinion, and adopt an independent course on public affairs ; whether the Commander-in -Chief, or any one acting for him, is entitled to punish noncon formity to his views ; and whether military rank is dis tributed according to his private tastes, or is bestowed on the part of thy public on those who do their duty. We confess we are disgusted and indignant at this un worthy treatment of a man eminently deserving admi ration and reward ; and we could not be satisfied with out directing public attention to so gross an abuse of the power intrusted to individuals in disposing of honours and rewards for. the service of the nation. --- THE KING AND.

A trial before the Court of Assizes, which commenced on Saturday morning, and was continued on Sunday till near midnight, has elucidated the mystery which has hung over the robbery committed at Passy, in the night of the 6th of May last, and which, for mare than a month, gave rise to innumerable and contradictory conjectures. The house No. 35, in the Avenue de St. Cloud, at Passy, standing alone, with a small garden in front and yard behind, in which are a coach house and stable with lofts over them, was occupied by a M. Vasseur and a young person named Mdlle. M‘lanie Lamartiniire, who lived with him as his wife, and went by his name. They had known each other from childhood, and had become firmly attached to each other. M. Vasseur, who is a man of some fortune, would have married the lady immediately on his coming of age, but could not obtain the consent of his grandfather, who stood towards him in loco parentis, as he had lost his father and mother. Their conduct in every respect was so correct, that every one in the neighbourhood believed them to be man and wife. On May 1, M. Passeur set out on a journey for about ten days. Upon this Mdlle. Lamartiniare male their ser• vant, Marguerite Berkeley, bring her mattress and bed ding into her own room, and sleep beside her. In the night of the sth their watchdog, which during the day was chained up in the yard, but in the night put into the stable with two English dogs, awoke by his barking Mdlle. Lamartiniere, who immediately made her servant get up to see what had disturbed the animal. The girt to pacify him, threw some bread out, and then under the pretence of necessity, went down into the yard. During the following night, the same alarm was repeated I'y the dogs in the stable, but the watch-dog remained silent. Again Marguerite was made by her mistress to get up. but, on looking out of the window, she assured her mis tress that there was nothing to be seen. As the dogs continued barking, Mdlle. Lamartiniere got out of bed herself, but, upon the repeated assurances of her servant, returned to it. She however had scarcely laid herself down again when, by the light of a small lamp in the room, she saw a man standing by her side, and gave a scream. He covered her mouth with a pillow, and, hold ing a poignard or knife in his hand, threatened to stab her if she made any noise, but assured her he would do her no harm if she would inform him where her money, plate, and jewels were to be found. He said that other men had come with him and would murder her but for his protection. After this, the villain proceeded to acts of brutality upon the person of his victim, who sunk into a tainting fit. The servant was not in the room at this time, but came as her mistress was recovering her senses, and gave ber at her desire a glass of water. She was then shut in alone in her dressing-room. which had a window opening into the yard, through which she saw with astonishment her servant come out of the coach house. About three in the morning, after remaining three or four hours, the man went away, and her servant rejoined her. They locked themselves in the chamber; but the man soon came back to take, he said, a pocket book which he had forgotten. In the secretary he had found a will, left by M. Vasseur, in which he bequeathed all his property to Mdlle Lamartiniere. This will, the readers of the Messenger will recollect, gave rise to many vague and absurd reports, but which the robber said he thought was a packet containing bank-notes or bills to the amount of 10,000 f. When he was finally retiring. Mdlle. Lamartiniere complained that she was left without a sous till M. Vasseur returned, whereupon he gave her 20f. out of the money he had taken, and st. to Margu erite Berkeley. When she became a little tranquil, Mdlle. Lamartiniere observed to her maid that she had not been locked up as she was, for she had seen her come out of the coach-house. The girl replied that she had been sent there for the umbrella, which had been seen there by the robbers. At eight in the morning Mdlle. Lamartiniere went to the mayor of Passy, and gave in formation of the robbery, describing the only man she had seen as short and fat. with a broad face, and a dark beard which covered the lower part, and grew very thick under his chin. Her deposition was confirmed by the servant girl, who added that when the man went away he made her give him the keys of the iron gate leading from the garden on to,the road. She said that there were four men in the house, but she only saw two. How they got into the premises she could not tell, as the doors were locked, and none had been forced. On examination of the premises by the mayor, it was evident that the robbers were let in by some one inside, and also on ask ing why the watch-dog had not seized any of the thieves, Marguerite asserted that they had shut him up in his kennell by placing a ladder in front of the entrance. This, however, could not be, as the dog had more than sufficient strength to push it aside, and make his way out. 'This raised strong suspicions against Marguerite, which were afterwards confirmed by the following inci dent:—The brother of Mdlle. Lamartiniere and M. Pil lion, who, after the robbery, went to sleep at the house, went up to the loft over the coach-house, and there found two packets of linen, one tied in a sheet, and the other pinned up in a blue apron, evidently left there by the thieves on the night of the robbery, and which they could entertain no hope of getting away without the aid of some person in the house. This circumstance, connected with the fact of her being seen by Mdlle. Lemartiniere coming out of the coach-house while the robbery was going on, led to the arrest of Marguerite Berkeley. To her accusation this infamous woman retorted the most infamous charges against her mistress, but which the whole tenour of her life, not withstanding the unfortunate relation in which, from obstacles against their marriage, as has been stated, she stood twards M. Vasseur, was a sufficient contradiction, and the woman Berkeley was committed to prison. The truth soon afterwards came out. While at the prefecture with three girls, named Gourvert, Beauchene, and Gil ardot, and a woman named Guerin, who was to be dis charged that day, Marguerite gave to to the last-named a note, written by Gilardot for her, addressed to Bas te le, the keeper of a wine shop nest. the Hippodrome, at the Barriere de l'Ecoile, who, she ,said, was her brother-in-law. This was related by Gourvert to Mdlle. Latnartiniere, whom she saw at the infirmary. Being afterwards interrogated as to this act, Marguerite positively denied it. and maintained that she had nor nor could have any brothetein law, as she was a found ling. She afterwards, before the examining magistrate, repeated her vile calumnies against her mi-tress, all cif which, however, were afterwards complelely refuted. Bost a le, on being summoned before the examining ma gistrate, denied all knowledge of Marguerite, but as he bore a strong resemblance to the robber described by Mdlle. Lamartin4re, the magistrate decided upon con fronting them. He sent for her without the slightest intimation of the reason. On entering his cabinet she found the girl Berkeley and Besside, and almost imme diately recognised the latter as the man who had robbed and so brutally ill-treated her. Berkeley endeavoured to invalidate this declaration by observing that the robber had a thick beard under his chin, whereas BetFa le had only mustachios and thick whiskers ; but Mdlle. Lamar-. tiniere persisted, and it was afterwards proved that Bessede, at a period immediately subsequent to the rob bery, had the lower part of his beard shaved off. This he admitted, but pretended that it was only according to his habit during the heats of summer. Consequently Bessede and Marguerite Berkeley were both committed for trial for the robbery. Berkeley was also accused of another robbery. She was, it appears, a natural child, found abandoned at Nancy, at which place, and at Metz, or the environs, she passed the early part of her life. She afterwards lived in concubinage with a man named Peyrot, whom she left, taking with her 200 f., his watch, and other property. She was also brought to confess that she had been the mistress of Bessede, and in short had lived a most licentious life. All the charges in the indictment were satisfactorily proved, the jury pronounced both the prisoners guilty, and the Court sentenced them to hard labour at the hulks for fifteen years, and to be exposed in the pillory. It is but just and right to add to this sad tale, that M. Vasseur, in his conviction of the fidelity and propriety of conduct of Mdlle. Lamartiniere, and as a consolation for all she has suffered, resolved to make her his wife, and by his name she appeared in court as a witness. On applying again to his grandfather for his sanction, he received a positive refusal; but firm in his purpose to do justice he determined to send the three sonanations required by the law, but the second being delivered the old gentleman gave his formal as sent.—Galignani. IMPORTANT POST-OFFICE NOTICE, The following important Post-office notice has been issued from the General Post-office to the public.— " NOTICE TO LETTER-RECEIVERS. " Several cases having occurred from which there is reason to believe that some of the receivers are in the practice of receiving general post letters, with a fee, after the regulated time has expired, viz., half-past five, and sending such letters in the general post-bag, keeping the 'bag open till called for by the collecting clerk; or that they hand the letters to the letter - carrier, who collects at six o'clock; I think it right to inform them that such practice is not only contrary to the regulations, but is a fraud upon the revenue, as all general post letters, posted after half-past five o'clock to be forwarded the same night must have an additional stamp upon them, and be posted at the General Post office, or at the branch Post-office in Lombard-street, between six and seven o'clock, or at the branch offices before a quarter to seven o'clock. The receivers will, atter this notice, take particular care that the regulations be attended to, for should any case be established against any one, it will be reported to the Postmaster-General. " R. SMITH, Superintending President. " London District Post-office, Nov., 1846." DEATH FROM INJURIES RECEIVED FORTT YEARS Aco.—On Friday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker at the George and Dragon, Hoxton-market, on the body of George Jenkins, a blind man, aged fifty-eight, late of No. 1, Queen-street, Pitfield-street. The deceased, when a child, was attacked with the small pox, which caused the loss of sight in one of his eyes; the eye became diseased, and grew to an enormous size, being more like a bulhick's eye than that of a human being. When about fifteen years of age his aunt, in if. passion, struck him with the back of her hard, and in doing so knocked the eye out of the socket. The irritation thus caused brought on disease of the hr in, and caused the loss of sight of the other eye; and from that period the deceased was subjected to fits of epilepsy. The deceased was for seven years in the Blind School, and afterwards supported himself by ropemaking until the death of his aunt, who, to make all the reparation in her power, left him the house in Queen-street and 501. ayE Ir. On Tuesday last the deceased paid a visit to his sister, and on his return home in a very agitated state was taken ill. Mr. Packer, a surgeon, attended him, but medical aid was unavailing; he expired in a few hours from an attack of epilepsy. Verdict, " Natural death."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Your readers will recollect that my letter of the 2d inst. was considerea worthy of a place in your in valuable columns of the 4th inst., and as it contained only an outline of the plan which I should adopt in carrying this splendid ship to sea again, I beg you will permit me to give a little more detail, and explain the matter more clearly. In the Times newspaper of the 12th inst., there is a report from W. Billinton, Esq., C.E., woo has made a survey of the ship, and seems to throw ominous conjectures on the whole success of all plans which have been suggested, and, strange to say, he has not made any suggestions himself, nor even pointed out the errors in those plans which he condemns, but contents himself with saying that contractors may be found to lift the ponderous vessel. No w I really do consider myself in duty bound to call upon W. Billinton, Esq., C.E., either to withdraw his objection to my plan or to state the ground of his objection. The plan which I should adopt in floating this mag nificent queen of the sea would be, to place at each side of the ship, and at equal distance from the line of gravity, two cast-iron hollow pillars with circular solid bases, and constructed of such strength as would enable them to bear the whole weight of the ship; the bases to be constructed with ribs, and of sufficient dimensions to support the upright position of the pillars, the top of which should stand above the high-water line of spring tides; or should these bases not be sufficient the ground might be piled, and the pillars set in suitable frame-work : then at the top of these pillars I should carry tie-beams from the one to the other, forming a quadrangle, and using such other tie-beams or chain-work as might be required to secure the vertical position of the pillars; and from the top of the pillars on the starboard to the oppo site ones on the larboard I should carry a tudor-head of wrought iron sufficiently strong to bear the weight of the ship, and constructed in such a way as to throw the lines of gravity as much as possible on the vertical pillars; care being taken at the same time to brace the pillars together with chains sufficiently strong to resist the outwards pressure which would necessarily fall upon them. Then from the vertex of these arches I would suspend iron bars to the fulcrums of levers placed in such position that the suspended iron bars would act as fulcrums to the levers, which would be so constructed as to enable four or five men to work them with a screw sufficiently powerful to lift a weight of 20,000 tons. Having thus securely, and of more than sufficient strength, arranged the whole apparatus, I would attach to the ship at low water as many boats, or other floating bodies, as I could procure, and with the rising tides I would gradually apply the combined powers every fol lowing tide until I had succeeded in lifting the ship out of the sand, and if the water should then be found insufficient to float her, I would anchor a number of boats at a short distance from her to break off the sea and storms, till the next spring tides afforded me a suffi ciency of water; making in the mean time such repairs as would enable me to tow her to sea; and should the vessel when raised from the sand be capable of floating herself, there would be no difficulty in allowing her either then or at any other time to carry away without danger the whole of the tackle and top part of the framework, leaving behind only the metal pillars, which could after • wards be taken also. Since the above appeared in your paper of the 4th inst., I have been honoured with the opinion of many scientific gentlemen, who all concur in saying that my suggestions are appropriate; and as the ship is now lying on a limestone rock, there would be no difficulty in finding solid foundations for the metal pillars. And it is quite clear from Mr. Billinton's state ment that before she leaves the place she must undergo some repairs, which cannot be made until she be lifted up for that purpose; and it would appear from Mr. Bil. linton's survey that she is in a much more favourable position to be lifted by this plan than what it would from a perusal of my letter of the 2,1; and had Mr. Billing ton in his report favoured us with the quantity of water drawn by the Great Britain, and also with the weight of her engines, the contractors with whom he leaves the ta-k would have been able to say whether her engines would require to be removed in getting her to sea; whether she could, when' repaired, be towed out, and whether her own steam power would not carry her out; and, finally, whether she would not have to be moved on what a contractor would call a gantry. The answers to 'all these questions would remain blank in their estimate it they had no information but that which is furnished by Mr. Billinton's report. There would-be no difficulty whatever in carrying out my suggestions, and as the weather is so very favourable, the advantage ought, if possible, to be taken, as it would be a great risk to allow her to remain on that dangerous coast all the winter. I have, Sir, the honour to be, your obedient servant, EDWARD SANDS. C.E. Sheffield, Nov. 13; 1846. SOCIETY for the IMPROVEMENT of COTTARS. We learn with much pleasure from a correspondent that a society has been formed for the general improve • mint of the labouring classes in Scotland, of a similar description to the society in England, which has proved highly beneficial wherever it has been fairly brought to bear up _)n a destitute population. In the northern half of Scotland, the masses now threatened with famine, unless extraneous aid be supplied, are chiefly dependent on husbandry and fishing, and to improve the circumstan c, a of these classes are two of the objects contemplated, by the promoters of the institution alluded to. It is true as has been lately stated in the Times, that the High lands abound with spots of waste but easily reclaimed land, which might be made to support a much larger po pulation than that which too often proves a burden to the proprietors and the rate-payers, and a source of just commiseration and alarm, as at this time, to every right-minded person in the empire • but proprietors, finding that large farmers are profitable occupiers, and that small holders are very unprofitable ones, are natu rally averse to any extensionof the latter. Inthe prospect us of the society before ue, the failure of the Scottish and Irish cottar system is attributed to bad husbandry—the posses si, al of more land than the crofter can cultivate by manual labour, and too little capital, land, and skill, to allow of horse labour remunerating, it being an axiom in farming, that land cannot afford a pair of horses if much under 40 acres. Founding upon indisputable facts, that from 31 to 5 acre allotments of land, in circumstances apparently not more favourable than are afforded in the Highlands, are comfortably supporting families of average size where a proper system, of husbandry has been adopted, the society will seek the improvement of the crofters and small holders of Scotland by the introduction of the system recommenJed by W. Blacker, Esq., of Armagh, in his essay on im proving the condition of the labouring classqs of Ireland—the efficiency of which has been proved by raising the small tenantry of the Earl of Gosford, under his charge, from extreme destitution to compe tency and comfort, which might, at this time, have per vs led the destitute peasantry of Ireland and Scotland, had similar means been adopted. That the husbandry of the crofters of Scotland is still very poor, and that it is suoceptible of vast improvement, no one will venture to dispute. Many efforts have been made by individual proprietors to produce an alteration, but generally with trifling success. Instead of attributing the tendency of the Highland peasantry to cling to old abuses as a result of some o ccu l t pr i nc i p l e i n h erent i n the C elt i c race, we believe it may b e more justly attributed to an m from ex cessive destit u ti on o f the ordinary comforts of life, discouraginginthe i ra lisati ni o a n king and eff i is p v to ve m e r i n s t e . scale the m of ev o They require not only to be told ho w they may cultivate their land, so as to remunerate themselves, but they re. quire to be shown how it m a y b e d one, by persons similarly circumstanced to themselves, and, accordingly, one of the great efforts of the society will be to estab lish a model allotment, whenever a proprietor is anxious to convert a destitute population on his estate into a comfortably-housed, well.fed, and well-remunerated tenantry. We undereitand that in conformity with the suggestion .of one of our principal Highland proprietors, the objects of the society have been generalised, and that the establishment of infant and self supporting agricultural schools, the improvement of the residences of the labouring classes in general, as respects cleanliness and sanatory principles, and the saving of life from boating accidents, which are so corn mon on mir coasts, are additional fea tures of the society to the objects already adverted to— viz., the improvmment of the fisheries and collar hus bandry of the. country. Adequately supported, as we hope this soci.ety will be, by our aiistocracy and gentry, and energetically and systematieally carried on by the pro moters, tha Scottish Society for the general improvement of the labouring classes cannot fail of proving highly be neficial in its operations. Its promoters must not be die • couraged by repulses and disappointments at the outset. —lnverness Courier.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE, (SATURDAY.) GUILDHALL. The woman who, under - the name of Jane Harvey, was yesterday charged before Mr. Alderman Farn combo with an attempted fraud upon Lord A. Harvey, M.P., was again placed at the bar this morning, when his Lordship attended, and produced a letter which he had just received from the clerk to the Commissioners of Police at Brighton, to the effect that the prisoner was not know► at the address which she gave at No. 4, Edward-place, in that town, and that there was no doubt she was an impostor. . She had nothing to say in her defence beyond that she belonged to Stratford, that her husband had de serted her, leaving her with two children, and that destitution led her to attempt the imposition. She was sentenced to seven days' imprisoment. UNPARALLELED ATROCITY.—NINE HORSES POI SONED.—We have this week -to record one of the most barbarous cases of' savage cruelty towards the brute creation that it has ever yet been our painful duty to notice. Messrs. Rachael Hayes and Co. the proprietors of one of the coach establishments in this town, have, within the last few months, lost no less than nine horses on the stage between Saintfield and Belfast. The horses were all healthy, and in fine condition, performing their journey with ease, and after being groomed at night would eat their oats with avidity, yet in the morning they were one after the other found dead, so many as three of them in a week. All this occurred at the Saint field stables. The superintendent there had his sus picions, but never once thought c,f procuring the services of a scientific person to examine the bodies after death, until Wednesday morning last, when, on the ninth horse being found dead, he dispatched a messenger.for Air. Hodges, the veterinary surgeon of this town. That gentleman made an examination of the stomach, and discovered that poison had been administered in a large quantity to the poor animal. The poison is either arsenic or corrosive sublimate, which of them it is can not be distinctly stated until the analysing process has been gone through. Itl%ery one is at a loss how to ac count for these atrocious acts of barbarism and cruelty. The proprietors are highly respectable, and exceedingly civil and obliging to the public. The average value of the horses being 12/. each, the loss sustained exceeds 1001. -The matter is about to undergo a sifting investi gation.—Down Recorder. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—At a meeting of the Court of Examiners, on Friday evenir.g, the 13th instant, the following gentlemen having undergone the necessary examinations, were admitted members of this college, viz.:=Messrs. Joseph M'Keand, Manchester; John Bassett, Leicester; William Hatton, Egerton, Lan cashire; Thomas Edward Pearce Martin, Hull; Walter Winter Walter, Stoke-under Ham ; Robert Smith, Mumby-cum-Chapel, Lincolnshire; and Roydon Jack son, Manchester. The Hunterian Museum at this col lege was, .on Friday, last, honoured by a visit from the Prince Louis Napoleon, who spent upwards of three hours in inspecting the magnificent collection, which was described to his Royal Highness by Professor Owen. ..-... ........---------"' ----..."'"."....'..""'""'"..-- ........
