To be had at the Patentees, GO, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross. The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, Re advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the Introduction egos in dwellin:-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c. ; these are entirely o b v i a t e d b y the .WPATENT UNIVERSAL GAS Itumixa." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the " Bunfer," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, aro shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th M ay, 1146, Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the zentre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. the air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heated, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, 'while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the garburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very Nrfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used.

SACRILEGE. CLEVER DISCOVERY OF THE OFFENDERS. Llantillo Church, in Wales, was lately despoiled of a large portion of black cloth, with which the pulpit had been bung in consequence of the death of Mrs. Teddy. Mr. B!issett, the superintendent of the Ross police, was applied to to discover the offenders, and having engaged a person of the name of Lawrence to assist him, an In genious stratagem was put in execution. We quote the result from the Monmouthshin Adver tiser. Suspicion having attached, in the first instance, to a blacksmith, named Probert, Lawrence went to Lian tillo, dressed as a bell-hanger, with his basket of tools on his shoulder, to where he worked. He went into the smith's shop, and asked Probert to make him a punch ; whilst this was being done, Lawrence offered to sell the smith a brown coat. Probert declined, and after some time, upon being presses, he said he' did not want any clothes, as he wai having a suit of black made at Mr. Jones's, at Ragland. This was the precise clue Law rence wanted, and he soon afterwards proceeded to Mr. Jones's, the tailor, of that village. Of this person we think it right to say, that he has always borne an irre proachable character for honesty and industry. Upon arriving at Jones's, Lawrence asked the wife, and after walls Jones himself, who entered the shop, if he could have a brown or a dark waistcoat made there. Jones said he had not any brown cloth, but he could make him a black waistcoat, for which he should charge 103. To this Lawrence assented, and proffered sixpence to bind the bargain, saying he would call on another day for the vest, and pay the remaining 93. 6d. He then asked for a pattern, which he took with him, and thus successfully accomplished trap the second. Lawrence, with other partus, then compar e d t h e p a ttern with the black cloth remaining in the church, and it was found exactly to cor respond. Up on t h e fo ll ow i ng day he returne d to Rag land, in company with Blissett, and producing a search warrant, they tock possession of the black cloth, still lying on the counter, and afterwards apprehended both Jones and Probert. Upon the policeman stating the nature of the charge, Jones stated that the cloth belonged to Probert, who in his absence had brought it and left it with his wife, for a suit of clothes to be made from, stating that he had bought it of a hawker for Ss. 6d. per yard. The other prisoners, John Jones, labourer, and Thos. Stead, were apprehended upon the confession of Jones himself, who stated to the Rev. Dr. Davis that Probert had devised the scheme of robbing the cloth, and had gone to the church on the Sunday (the 13th of Sep tember) for the purpose of contriving the best means of effecting their object. During the night, whilst Probert remained at home, Jones and Stead entered the church a nd took off their spoil, which the three worthies divided among them. After this concession, Jones accompanied Mr. Davis and others to a hayrick in an adjoining parish, on the top of which, covered with loose straw, a bundle of the cloth was lying. The stolen cloth of Probert's was upon the counter. The examination lasted several hours, and at its clo3e all the prisoners were committed, but bail was immedi ately tendered for Mr. Jones, the tailor. CANADA AND EMIGRATION.---It is not generally known, we believe, that Sir Richard Bonnycastle, the author of the very important and interesting work, just published, under the title of " ecnada and the Cana dians," is the son of the Woolwich Professor of Mathe matics, whose admirable school-books rendered his name familiar to the juvenile world. Ile has drawn (says the Chronicle) an amusing and interesting picture of the present condition of an important colony. There is ex cellent advice, as well as information, of a practical kind, which ought to be treasured up by the intending emigrant, to whom we recommend a perusal of Sir Richard's book, as giving graphic views of the present toil for future independence, which all must encounter. CONDENSATION OF SEWAGE INTO SOLID MANURE. —An explanatory lecture was delivered in our hearing at the Westminster Literary and Scientific Institution, on Friday last, by the patentee, Mr. William Higgs, who proved, clearly enough, the possibility of condensirg, in a solid form, all that is valuable as manure in the sewage of towns, by collecting it in tanks, wherein all that is solid and insoluble, or merely suspended in the fluid, would of course subside, while by aid of calcareous or other reagents, the soluble phosphates, or phosphoric acid, &c., might be converted into soluble salts, and pre cipitated amongst the general sediment, or apart from it, and the ammoniacal and hydro- sulphuric vapours, uniting in hydro-sulphuret of ammonia, be also condensed by aid of chlorine, in covered air-tight areas above the tanks, and added, in form of sal ammoniac and sulphur, to the other valuable materials ; the residual water of the sewage thus, in effect, being rendered perfectly pure before it issues into the river that n3ay flow in the vicinity of the town. Into the question of the profitable and practicable adoption, or the relative merits of such an economical and save-all system it is not our province to enter, but we may remark, that certainly the health of towns could not but be vastly benefited by the ab sorptio❑ and solidification of the volatile and unwhole some vapours hitherto permitted to emanate from sewers, and even by the purification of the rivers, on the banks of which the habitations of man are so frequently con structed.— 2 7te Builder. A SHIPWRECKED BEAR.—The Royal Botanic Gar den of Glasgow has lately had presented to it, by Dr. Pritchard, of the Royal Lunatic Asylum, a fine young Russian bear. The history of its voyage home from Russia is rath er i nterest i ng, the vesse l h av i ng gone on shore in a storm, and h er crew an d p assengers w ere saved with difficulty. Amidst the confusion and danger attendant on getting from the vessel to the life-boat, poor Bruin was overlooked ; but finding herself de serted on the wreck, she climed up one of the broken masts, and set up such a pitiful and melancholy howl ing, as induced a daring band of the sailors to man the boat, and, even at the risk or their own lives, they saved their poor four-footed fellow-passenger from a watery grave.--Scottish Guardian. Sir John and Lady Shelley have left Farrance's Hotel on a visit to the Duke of Grafton, at Euston Hall, Thet ford. ENGLAND AND JAPAN. The less Great Britain can conceal from herself that she has lost the western hemisphere, the more energeti cally does she strive to insure to herself the eastern, in order that she may rule without a rival in the Indian se :s. The southern extremity Of Africa belongs to her; by the island of Aden sae commands the entrance to the Red Sea; she has taken her stand on Bushire, to watch the mouth of the Eaphrate4; Ceylon lies at the entrance to the Bay of Bengal ; on the west exist of Transgan getic India also has' she established herself for now twenty years, by the peace of Yendabu. The keys to the Straits of Malacca are, however, far more important, namely, Pulo Penang, and the flourishing settlement of Singapore; whAe, in order to iusure the route to the Chinese colony of Hong-long- the island of Laboan, on the north-west coast of Borneo, ,has just been taken possessiob of. The Malay pirates are thereby impeded in the exercise of their profession, and moreover, the little-explored island of Borneo opened to discovery, while the further inroads of the Dutch, now so active a i m .irta Singaporen t as a and c ?ling depot, . in the East Indian A rc hip e l ago , are p re vented. At sameatlsmitlies about a time t half Puh Laboan wy between is Kong, which latter c o mman d s t h e mout h o f t h e C a nton a o River, in the same manner as Heligoland does the Elbe and Weser. Chusan, which.- England should have evacuated long ago, is still in her possession ; but even if she do give it up, she has instead of this unhealthy island, another in view, which has a healthy climate, and a far more favourable position for her de signs. This is the island of Quelpaert, the rumoured occupation of which by the English, as stated lately in Antwerp and London journals, we by no means doubt. This island is the largest in the Archipelago of Corea (lon. 126 E., lat. 33 20 N.), and lies about 20 leagues from the S. point of the Corean peninsula; it can be reached by steam from Chusan in a few days, and com mands at once the Yellow Sea, the route to Pekin, the Straits of Corea which leads to the sea of Japan, and the west coast of the Japanese empire, particularly the neighbouring port of Nangasaki. The possessors of Malta and Gibraltar,- theelaalklaed Islands, and Men, know well how to priie such advantages. Quelpaert is well adapted to form the last link in the long chain of maritime stations. On this subject we would remind the reader that about three years ago Captain Beleher was charged by the Admiralty with making a hydro grajahieal survey of the Japanese waters, that within the last few years especially, Englishmen, disguised as • the subjects of the Celestial Empire, have, at the risk of their lives, entered Japan on board the Chinese ,junk trading thither, and that the English Go vernment has more than once attempted to obtain permission for a direct trade with the subjects of Japan. These efforts have, indeed, always failed of success, but with perseverance, patience, and in case of need, open force, England has ever succeeded in attaining its object—the extension of its trade. Even at the period of the opium war, it was undisguisedly declared in the English press, as well as on 'Change, that the seclusion of the Japanese empire must necessarily cease, and that the opening of its ports would be an unavoidable conse quence of that war. As is well known, Japan admits only the Chinese and Dutch, whose trade is, moreover, subject to numerous conditions and limitations ; they are only allowed to visit Nangasaki with a certain num ber of vessels, while every other port is unconditionally closed to foreigners., England is now impelled by a perfectly legitimate curiosity to seek admission to the Japanese people, and to make them acquainted with the blessings of European political economy and English free trade. It is against all cosmopolitism that a state so populous, and which has attained so high a degree of peculiar civilisation, should, in the nineteenth century, obstinately withhold itself from all interchange of ideas with Europe. The Japanese Government, however, well know why for two centuries and a half it has kept Eu ropeans at a distance, the bitterest experience has taught it prudence. When the Portuguese first landed in Japan, foreigners were received with a kindness and tolerance of which even modern Europe can offer no parallel; they were freely allowed to trade, aed, which would scarcely be permitted in Christian states to Asiatic heathens, to spread their religion and make hundreds of thousands of proselytes. Several princes were baptised. and under Gregory XIIL, an embassy proceeded from Japan to Rome to show their respect for the holy father. The ambition of the Portuguese, however, who had con quered Goa, Al a l acca , an d M acao , inspired the Emperor with anxiety ; the diffusion of Christianity was said to aid the political aims of tl:e foreigner, and on that ac count persecutions of the Christians commenced, which continued without intermission for almost half a century, and only ended with the complete extirpation of the fol lowers of the cross. Several thousands had taken refuge in the fortress of Simabcra, where the martys defended themselves to the last man ; and when the conquerors entered at night by assault, they literally waded up to their ankles :n blood. Since that time no Portuguese has been allowed to enter Japan. The Europeans, Lowever, were not absolutely excluded, and in 1611 Spanish and Dutch embassies arrived almost simul taneously at Jeddo. The first was denied admission, because they came tricked out in velvets and silk," and allowed their haughty arrogance to appear too visible ; the latterattained their object through theirshop-keeping artifices, and the most submissive humility. Since then Holland has driven a trade with Japan, which, although very circumscribed, 'and only permitted under the most humiliating conditions, has yet excited the envy of other maritime nations. These latter have frequently, al. though fruitlessly, endeavoured to open the ports of this kingdom; even the efforts of Admiral Krusenstein in 1804, whose death has lately been announced, were un successful. The negotiations in which he then engaged show the Japanese in the best light ; they acted towards their unwelcome guests with the greatest consideration, with a delicacy and a willingness which left nothing to be desired. The negotiations were conducted by the imperial plenipotentiaries with a politeness and ability which would do honour to the most refined European diplomatist. If, then, the English now give it to be un derstood that it is against all the laws of nations that Japan, which knows nothing of the European law of na tions, and in its exdlusiveness can dispense with this highly elastic law, should seclude itself from intercourse with Europeans, we might give them for answer a diplo matic note (if we may_ so use the term) which was de livered to the Russians in 1805, and which may find a place here In ancient times ships of all nations freely came to Japan, and the Japanese wero allowed to visit foreign countries ; but about a century and a half ago an emperor impressed upon his successors no longer to allow their subjects to leave the country, and far ther, to give the D'atch, the Chinese, the Coreans, and the inhabitants of the isiand of Rinkin only, access to Japan. Other nations have repeatedly made attempts to contract relations of friendship and commerce with Japan, but they have been obliged to be refused, in con formity with the ancient orders; moreover, it would be dangerous to form friendly relations with an unknown power, unless they rested on the bases of equality ; for friendship is like a chain, which, to perform a special purpose, must consist of a certain number of links. If one part of the chain is strong, but another weak, those links which are weaker will soon break. Thus friend ship can only cause hurt to the weaker party. 'I hir teen years ago a Russian ship, commanded by Lieute nant Larman, came to Japan, and now another with an ambassador from the great Emperor of Russia has ar rived. The first was not received without mistrust, but the second in a friendly manner. The Emperor of Japan has.willingly done all in his power, consistent with the laws of the empire; he regards the arrival of this second Russian vessel with pleasure, as a proof of the amity of the Emperor of Russia. That mighty monarch has sent him an ambassador, and valu able presents. Were these received, the ET peror of Japan must, according to traditions es teemed as highly as laws, also on his side send an ambassadth• to the Emperor of Russia, with pre sents of •at least equal value. But every inhabitant and every ship of the empire is expressly forbidden to leave the same. Moreover, Japan is so poor that it can offer nothing comparable to objects of such costliness. The Emperor can thus decidedly receive neither the ambas sador nor the presents. Japan has but few' wants, and the productions of other countries are of little use to it. If its soil denies to it a small number of really useful productions, and if, custom has made it acquainted with a few other wants, these are supplied to it in sufficient quantity by its trade with the Chinese and the Dutch. Besides, luxury must not be countenanced.. There are great difficulties in the way of introducing an extensive trade here, because all intercourse between the people and foreign sailors is expressly forbidden by law." It must be allowed this ultimatum delivered to Heron Von Rceaonoff is as politely, as it is concisely and decidedly expressed, and that the buccaneering expeditions of the Russian naval officers, Chwostoff and Davidoff, 'Who shortly after attacked the island of Sachalih, 1 and wantonly encamped on the Japan Kuriles, were ill calculated to make the Japanese abandon their system. The at'empts of the Americans to procure admission -into Nangasaki, k for their vessels under the Dutch flag likewise failed, and when in 1837 the Marmion, an American ship, brought some Japanese sailors, picked up by it, back to the native country, the severe regulations were rigidly maintained against them. Parker and Williams, who wrote an ac count of this voyage, declaim, like the English, against the obstinacy of the Japanese, as people who understood not the law of nations. The Europeans have not, how• ever, often acted in a manner to command esteem. In 1808 Captain Pellew, in the English man-of-war Phaeton, pursued some Dutch merchantmen into the bay of Nangasaki, under the Netherland s flag, and the agents suspecting nothing, went to meet him ; they were taken prisoners and kept on board the Phaeton. The Japanese governor, who is responsible to his Emperor for the safety of the Dutch dwelling on Dezima, fell into the greatest embarrassment, which was increased when the Phaeton entered the harbour and steered right upon Dezima, without a lootsen or permit. It was only with much trouble that Captain Pellew was induced to depart. This incident, as Siebald expressly remarks, has not been forgotten in Japan, and the dislike towards England has been been thereby raised to a great height. The governor o Nangasaki was reduced to such despair by the event, that he assembled his family and servants, and, as is the custom of the country, ripped Open his belly in their presence. The other officers followed his example, and the Viceroy of the province, although at the time at. Jeddo, was cast in'o prison, because the officer appointed by him had not been attentive enough. Besides this, the family of the Governor was obliged to pay a year's sa lary of about 1,0 001 . ster lin g . Qu board of the above named ship, the Morrison, was the Chinese missionary and interpreter, Gutzlaff, who was visiting the Chinese coast in smuggling vessels, and who condemns most se verely the Conduct of the Japanese in 'thus excluding; themselves from all intercourse with other nations. Ac cording to all probability, things wall take the following course, either now or at some future time. Some Eng lish vessel, well manned and armed, appears before a Japanese port fcr the purpose of engaging in trade. The authorities do their duty and refuse it entrance. John Bull, meanwhile, perseveres in his design, the Japanese command him to quit the harbour, he refuses to stir, and is warned to depart by a cannot shot from the harbour battery, and perhaps a ball kills a sailor. The English now cry for vengeance, as the law of .nations has been broken, war is declared, and finally peace is concluded, after the Japanese have granted the English admis sion to such and such ports, and consented to pay so much silver. At least that was the mode of procedure in China. We see no peaceful way for England to open to herself the Japanese markets. We will allow that attempts are made, through the Chinese intervention, to obtain permission to lay their wishes before the Court of Jeddo by a special embassy, and that this wish is granted. But then there are ten things to one against success : first, that the English will not submit to the huiniliating ceremonial to which the Dutch submit, and thus certainly offend the Emperor ; and second, that an "ultimatum is given to them similar to that received by the Russian envoy forty years ago. The Dutch, too, would act foolishly, unless they threw as many hin drances as possible in the way of their powerful rivals. Besides, who could blame the Japanese for keeping as fas as possible_ from them a people who, having, not a hundred years ago built a miserable fort in the jungle on the Hooghly, soon conquered all India therefrom ? The island of Quelpaert, however, if possessed by the Eng lish, will at the same time be a wedge to open up both Japan and China. The dragon of the Celestial Empire has been forced to yield to the British lion ; the flag, of Japan will also soon sink before that of Great Britain. —A ugsburgh Gazette. STATION ACCOMMODATION. NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST. The following is a statistical sketch of the stations on the principal working lines, showing the extent of railway accommodation afforded to the various towns and counties, with the corresponding population of each county, according to the last census : LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.—The number of stations on this line, from London to Birmingham, with branch to Aylesbury, 120 miles, is in all 25, of which Stations. Population. 5 are in Middlesex 7 in Herts 157,237 1 in Bucks 155,939 2 in Beds 5 in Northamptonshire 5 in Warwickshire 25 2,598,961 Showing that the London and North-Western, in its first section of 120 miles between London and Birming ham, accommodates, with its five-and-twenty stations, a population between north and south of 2,598,961. On its branch from Northampton to Peterborough, 47 miles, there are 14 stations, all in Northamptonshire. From Birmingham to Liverpool, 974 miles, there are 24 stations, of which Stations. Population. 3 are in Warwickshire 403,121 9 in Staffordshire 510,206 9 in Cheshire 3 in Lancashire 24 2 974,691 So that this section in its 971 miles and 24 stations, ac commodates 2,974,691 souls. On the Northern branch from Liverpool to Man chester, 30 miles, there are 21 stations, all in Lan cashire. From B . rmingham to Manchester, 35 miles, there are 26 stations :-3 in Warwickshire, 9 in Staffirdshire, 11 in Cheshire, and 3in Lancashire. On the Chester and Birkenhead in the same counties there are 11 stations in 16 miles. Hence the London and North-Western accommodates a population of upwards of three millions, over its total area of 328 miles, exclusive of a large collateral traffic from the north and south, and from Ireland and Scot land, having connected with its largely ramifying system a total of 121 stations. The West of England ranks next. On the Great Western the total number of stations between London and Exeter, including the branches to Oxford and Glou cester, a distance of 2401 miles, amounts to fifty. Of these— Population. 5 are in Middlesex 1,576,616 2 in Bucks 10 in Berks 3 in Oxfordshire 161,573 8 in Gloucestershire 4 in Wilts 14 in Somersetshire 436,002 4 in Devonshire 533,731 3,715,451 This shows that the. Great Western, running over a less mileag e , and through a less manufacturing district than the North-Western, apparently accommodates a larger local population, with its fifty stations and 240 miles, exclusive of its Welch traffic, than the North- Western does with its 121 stations and 328 miles. On the Midland (south branch), from Rugby to Derby, 491 miles, there are 22 stations, of which— Stations. Population. 1 in Warwickshire 402,121 14 in Leicestershire 215,855 3 in Nottinghamshire 4 in Derbyshire 1,139,951 On its north branch from Derby to Leeds, 73 miles, the number of stations, including the branch to Sheffield, is also 22, of which— Stations. Population. 11 are in Derbyshire 11 in Yorkshire On the western branch from Derby to Birmingham, 41 miles, there are 13 staticns, five being in Derbyshire and eight in Warwickshire. On its Bristol and Birmingham branch, for 90 miles there are 30 stations, of which— Stations. Population. 6 are in Warwickshire 10 in Worcestershire 14 in Gloucestershire 664,791 The Midland, consequently, accommodates on its route of 260 miles, and with its 85 stations, a total local population, independent of collateral traffic of 3,104,724 souls. The Manchester and Leeds, on its route of 60 miles, has 23 stations, accommodating the before-mentioned population of Lancashire and Yorkshire. This, with one or two exceptions, forms a summary of the station accommodation of the kingdom north and west. Turning to the east and south-east, we find that the number of stations on the Eastern Counties (Cambridge line), for 83 miles, namely, from London to Brandon, and including the branch to Hertford, is 33, of which— Stations - Population. 7 are in Middlesex 11 in Flerts 9 in Essex . 344,995 4 in Cambridge . • 164,509 2 in Suffolk 315,129 33 2,558,486 Add to this the Norfolk line from Brandon to Yar mouth, 58 miles, there are— _ _ Stations. Population. 16 in Norfolk On the Colchester line of the Eastern Counties, taking the four stations on the Eastern Union, there are 18, all but two in Essex, showing that the Eastern COunties, in its route of 191 miles, supplies an average population of 2,971,107 with 68 stations. On the London and Brighton, and South-coast, 56 miles, there are, exclusive of the Hastings and Chiches ter branches, 21 stations:— Stations. Population. 8 in Surrey 13 in Sussex 701,891 On the South-Eastern, including the Canterbury, Ramsgate, and Maidstone branches, there are 29 sta tions over 120 miles. Stations. Population. 6 in Surrey 299,770 23 in Kent 548,161 847,931 The South-Western, over 88 miles from London to Gosport, have 19 stations, exclusive of the Guildford station. Stations. Population. 10 In Surrey -299,770 8 in Hants 19 599,770 The London and Croydon has seven stations over ten miles, all in Surrey. The London and Blackwell has nine over a length of less than four miles, and the London and Greenwich four over a length of rather more than three. WATERLOO-BRIDGE.--Since the stoppage of West minster-bridge, the daily average traffic over this bridge, from six in the morning till six in the evening is —foot passengers, 2,400 ; vehicles drawn by two horses, 960 ; ditto by three, 48 ; ditto by one, 2,648 ; trucks, 96 ; and "'addle horses, 30 ; according to the tolls charged, giving a receipt of 441. 9s. 9d. per diem of 12 hours. STOPPAGE OF CITY THOROUGHFARES. — On Satur day the Commissioners of Sewers gave notice that the following thoroughfares would be stopped during the month of October :—Princes•street. Rosemary-late, Devonshire-street, Svreetapple-court, West street, Three Crane court, and Thames-street, for the purpose of paving. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC .; JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—No one who has watched the stationary. not to say the dubious, conclaion of mercantile affairs for the whole of this year, will expect any decided results from the quarterly returns of the revenue. If they still permit us to hope, that is about as much as we co u ld possibly expect under almost unexampled difficulties. After striking off what may be called the accidents of the yearly and qaarterly compari4on, we find that we can not oilly hope, but have' t o some extent rea li se d a steady increase of prosperity. The extraordinary ant unnatural gush of enterprise which marked the whole of last year very possibly tempted the most prudent. to ex pect an earlier and a larger harvest from the great crop of experiments, public and private, we then were sowing. The nation is wiser this year than last, and has pro bably learnt also to be more moderate in its expecta tions. The Excise is usually considered the (thief tent of prosperity. Under this head there is an increase on the quarter amounting to 226,8201. There is no visible reason why this sum should not be considered a fair index of increasing consumption and trade in exciseable articles. Last quarter, it will be remembered, gave nearly an equal result as compared with the July returns of the previous year. They who are behind the scenes might possibly be able to inform us whether both the July and October returns for 1845 were not somewhat depressed by-the drawbacks allowed on those articles ,on which the duty had just been abolished or reduced. Unless some such accident has destroyed the equality of circumstances, certainly the -Excise is prospering considerably. As for the compa ratively slight increase on the whole year, it is scarcely necessary to remind our readers that the two first quar ters in the year ending October 10, 1845, had the benefit of the old duty on glass, and some other considerable items, lopped off or pruned in the spring of 1845 by the shears of the beneficent Premier. As for the Customs, they are a very_peculiar and capricious subject. Last year we had to condole with Sir Robert Peel on the lamentable circumstance, that under the operation of his sliding-scale the abundant harvest of' 1844 had pinched his revenue by the exclusion of foreign corn. The great finmeier's own pet device had led to the singular and ridiculous re sult of changing a national blessing into a fiscal curse, and setting at cress purposes the treasury and the people. This year the corn-laws still intrude and dis turb the account. An aggregate duty, amounting to nearly half a million, on the corn imported immediately on the new Corn Bill coming into effect, has made the Customs of this quarter, and, strange to say, of this year also, almost exactly so much more than the Customs of the quarter and of the year ending October 10, 1845. But for that single importation, which must now be looked upon as an extraordinary and exceptional occur rence, the two years and the,two quarters would present just the same results. Could more, however, have been fairly expected ? As for the comparison between the two years, it must be remembered that the two first quarters of the former year came under the old duties, before Sir Robert Peel had struck off the duties osi sugar, cotton, and some hundreas of minor imparts, to the amount of two millions and a half. The year just ended suffers not only that amputation, but another, by no means inconsiderable, inflicted this last session, and felt by the two last quar ters. There has been a double drop by free-trade mea sures in the two years. Under circumstances so very unequal, and bearing so bard on the later members of the comparison, it is very gratifying to find that the quarter and the year just past have yielded a revenue not inferior to that of the corresponding periods ending Oct. 10, 1845. The natural improvement of the country must be thanked for filling up the gaps made by "fiscal remissions. If more has not come to pass—if, barring the god-send of half a million on foreign corn, there is after all only an equality—candour will recollect the difficulties, the perplexities, and we must add, the calamities of this year. Free trade, it will be said, was to do great things. It could neither do great things in a hurry, nor produce abundance invite nature. Free trade is not an open sesame to give us at our bid ding transcendental prosperity over and above the operations of the physical creation. It is true it has thrown back those gates of Janus that nothing but war should ever have closed, and it has this year brought in between two and three million quarters of corn. But it could only deal for the present with the existing material. It could only bestow what there-was in the world. All that food has come in, and yet we are on the eve of a famine. On the average of this whole twelvemonth just ended, food has been too high to allow the labourer and the operative very much to spare for superfluoui com forts. The elements have starved both the Customs and the Excise. What revensie are we now to expect from the millions in Ireland, who cannot even buy their daily bread ? What revenue from those in this country, Whose bread eats up the whole of their humble allowance ? It is enough that we have just managed to anticipate " the catastrophe of an irremediable famine," which this day twelvemen h we ventured to predict would " conclude the drama, r rather the farce, of' protection." CHRONICLE.—The country has awakened; has re flected, and is -now speaking out aloud. When the Church as the only instrument of education was insisted upon, there was a degree of supineness in England that ignorance scarcely explained, and bigotry imperfectly excused. The difficulties. that encumbered the teaching of an English alphabet to an English pauper were (and are) such as would excite the wonder of a Kickltahoo or Potowhottamie Indian, if he could be brought to under stand them in the whole fulness of their absurdity. That there must be some trouble in the matter he would con ceive ; since he might suspect that in respect to spelling books and schoolmasters alone there would be the price of much tobacco and many beaver skins expended. This he would see at the first glance. Proceeding in his rea soning, he would measure the value of the commodity against the price. Here, whether he agreed with his teacher or not, he would at least infer that the learning was worth something—some beaver-skins and some to bacco ; though not so many or so much as the vendor of the alphabetic mystery might demand. His doubts, how ever, upon this point would be converted into either con fusion or contempt, when the further explanation was made .to him, that unless taught by certain men, and in a certain manner, the power in question of understanding alphabets was not only worth no tobacco and no beaver skins, but that it was absolutely prejudicialand perilous, and that in England it was not imparted to people at all, because parties were at variance as to the conditions under which it should be communicated. Neither was (nor is) there any teaching of the du' ies of education by the way of example. Upon such matters numerous writers, good and bad, had appealed to Government, with illustration in all its forms ; with the whole artillery of examples from the continent, and with encomia upon foreign education. It was upon these points, and the like of them, that llolland and Prussia were qnoted and over-quoted by the German, and France and Switzer land by the Gallican school of ameliorationists. Never theless, it was just the lesson that we were predeter mined not to learn, either from Prussia or from France, from Holland or from Switzerland, from Turkey or from America—in short, from any portion of the habit able globe whatever. Grave men in shovel- hats denounced it both in speeches and in charges, agricolous squireens denounced it in post-prandial orations, bitter Dissenters denounced it in petitions, and stripling clergymen groaned over it at visitings and at tea-tables. It was a lesson which we were determined not to he taught. Now if these things at the present moment are changing, and that after the rate and fashion that opi- nions on the bread monopoly took to change, to what must we attribute the alteration? To whatever it may be attributed, it is not referable to an indifference upon religious subjects. Church subscriptions, anti slavery meetings, xeter-hall statistics, all join in the acquittal of the present decennium of lukewarmness upon points of spirituality. It is neither more nor less than common sense acting upon palpable facts. It is a clear compre hension of what is best calculated for the maintenance of the public happiness. It is the deliberate determina tion that the welfare and existence of a great country shall be guarded against the mischief's of popular igno rance, and the suicidal economics of deluded poverty. As such we value the review in question, as much for the evidence it affords as for the arguments it supplies. Those who have faith enough to expect regeneration from a Stanley Ministry have not faith enough to believe in a permanent state of ignorance, or in the sufficiency cf priests to remove it. HERALD.—There is, perhaps, no country in Europe of the same extent, in which a greater diversity of lan guage and manners exists than in Switzerland. Within the limits of a small territory three different languages are spoken—French, German, and Italian—and within the twenty-two cantons of which the federated states are composed, is to be found congregated as much jea lousy, hatred, envy, and bitterness, as could be raked together amidst all the monarchies of Europe. Hence the multitude of factions which have prevailed in Swit zerland during the last half century, and which for a p• rind of forty years have threatened the independence and the existence of the " land of the brave and the free." The most pacific, and we \may say, as a neces sary consequence, the most progressive period of Switzerland was from 1815 to 1830. During those fifteen years new roads were constructed and old ones improved—commerce and industry flourished—a more rapid and a cheaper postal system was adopted—literary and scientific and agricultural societies were established —and Switzerland became the chosen residence of some of the most distinguished men, and some of the most renowned citizens of Europe. But the French revolution of 1830 completely changed the character and conduct of the Swiss nation. From that period discontent, distrust, and disaffection have become predominant. Religious has been auperadded to political jealousy—town has armed Itself against coun try—and country against town—canton has stood in battle array against canton, and the very frame of the federation seems to be dislocated and loosened. Meet ings have succeeded to meetings---concessions have fol lowed concessions—on the part of some of the federative Governments—while others have " kept the word Of promise to the ear, and broken it to the hope." But concessions—promises—and open resistance, on the part of-the Governments, have only produced one result on the governed, i. e., augmented exacerbation and discon tent. It would appear that the scenes of December, 1830, are again to be re-enacted —again shall we have vast assemblages of armed peasants and burghers, and probably some new Troxter and Pfeffer may 2riw In Geneva, in 1846, as in Aarau in 1830, In the Herald of yesterday we gave such hurried details as reached us from raris i written late on Sktnrcil evening, and there it t:'i ni • 1 / 4 11 erAf-e . < 1.7 - • s 't %-••• ve6111(1 opptar did did poly tit Ai', intpiiihii,l4.: - .4";d4' triuttiphant, Thidi '0 . • . aft) a tool, calculating, pblc , e;44,Lio iibtp e, *ll4 doecribed as the Scotch of the Continent.

L ADVERTISER —The accounts from Ireland are as gloomy as 'ever- If; indeed, there be any difference. in their tenour, it is that the darkest aspects, in which tle state of that country has been presented to us, are hourly acquiring a deeper hue. The condition of matters is represented by the latest arrivals as being of the most appalling kind which the imagination could pie4ire .to itself. The alarm felt fur the sat( ty of life and property is great and universal. All confidence is destroyed. Society is in a state of disorganisation. The tranquil lity of the country is wit worth an hour's purchase. We have given credit to the Executive, so far as it has gone, for a desire to yet up to the tremendous crisis which has overtaken Ireland. But, as we said yesterday, it has not gone far enough. Loans of money . for the drainage and subsoiling of land are very excellent in their w;iy ; but a mere improvement of the produc tive :powers of the land is not all that is re. quired in an emergency like this. In many parts of Ireland, especially in the northern section of the country, the land has already been brought into a state of high cultivation; and, consequently, in such cases, grants of money will not be nee led for drainage or sub soiling. What the Government ought to have done would have been to specify the various leading works which they considered as coming within the meaning of the Labour-rate Act, according to the more liberal con struction to be put upon its provisions since the publi cation of his Excellency's letter. Every one inquires, but no one can answer the question, whether the execu tion of railways will come legitimately within the mean ing of the phrase " useful and reproductive works." As to whether or not they ought to come within its waning, there are not two opinions on the part of the, public. The voice of England and Scotland, as well as of Ireland, is in favour of the application of the public money to the construction of Irish railways. Unhappily, how . ver, owing to the vagueness of the phraseology em ployed in the Lord-Lieutenant's letter, some persons entertain doubts as to whether railways are included under the general head of public works of a repro ductive character. That railways ought to be classed in this category, nobody, we repeat, for a moment doubts. The only apprehension is, that those to whom the expo sition of the phrase will be confided, may possibly not give it this liberal and - enlightened interpretation. Now, why should a moment's uncertainty be suffered to exist on the subject ? A word from the Castle would remove all doubts, and prevent any future misconception. We believe that the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, when caus ing the letter to be penned, fully intended that money should be advanced by the Government to Irish railway compinies, whenever a duo pre6eutin!nt _should be made, with that view, by any of the baronies. How great the pity, if oar assumption be correct, that the fact should not be rublicly known. If it were, the best results Would follow. Railway companies would commence operations immediately, and the myri a d s now out of cm pf T ment, would be actively and p ermanently engaged on new railways in less than a fortnight. RAMSGATE, OCT. 1 2 .—Lieutenant Wagnorn left this haboui• this morning at five minutes past 10 o'clock, in the South-Eastern and Continental Ste-am Company's packet the Princess Maud, for Ostena, on his way to Trieste, for the purpose of making 'arrangements for the conveyance of the next overland despatches from India. DETERMINED SUICIDE. -- Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, the following determined suicide was committed by a decently dressed man,. opposite the Penitentiary, Millbank. Lie was observed walking about Millbank for some time, apparently absorbed in thought,, when he suddenly mounted the wall which runs along the bank of the river, and jumped o ff i nto t h e water. Several-labourers, who were at work near the place, instantly ran to the spot, but the man had completed 11 s object, for theie was nothing to be seen but the al hat which he had worn, and which was floating with the stream. WEYUILL GREAT STOCK FAlR.—Yesterday this great cattle fair was resumed, and notwithstanding tho large sales of sheep and stock effected on Saturday, the sheep pens- were equally well filled, and many fresh droves of cattle were brought in, which was met with a great demand, and many large buyers w ho had stood cut now yielded to the owners' prices. Price young ewes (Southdowns) went off at 38s. a head, and some pens of choice-bred lots fetched 425. a head. Ewe lambs of the best descrip.ion made from 30s. to 335. a head. Good wethers were eagerly sought after. Two-year old sheep made 335. to 395., and three-year old wethers, well bred, were bought for folding off at 355. to 445. a head, and good fat wether sheep maintained prices varying from 48s. to 545. a head. In bullocks a brisk sale was ob tained for the best steers and young store bullocks, and well framed beasts for the fattening sheds sold at 12 to 16 guineas. Cows for dairying sold at 14 to 16 guineas. This fair is much celebrated for its usual large sales of cheeses. New cheese made 565. per cwt.; old cheese 558. to 60s. per cwt.; and the choicest quality of prime old cheeses were caught up at 6.55., 705., and 75a. per cwt., and many waggon loads were consigned to London. The hop fair will commence this day. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—RUGBY, MONDAY, OCT. 12.—Another instance of the utility of the electric tele graph in detecting crime was afforded on Saturday last at Rugby. The following telegraphic dispatch was re ceived at the Rugby station from Derby, at eight o'clock on Saturday morning :—" Thomas Trotter, from Derby, states that he has been robbed by a man that slept in the same room with him at Derby last night of a silver watch (described), and 31. 19s. in gold and silver." (Rere fellows a description of the party suspected, but as he, as well as the property missing, is in the hands of the police, it is unnecessary to give it.) '1 he dispatch. goes on to state that " the person who committed the theft is supposed to have gone towards London." In consequence of this communication, Inspector Faulkner, in the employ of the London and North-Western Real e , way Company, examined th e p ersons o f the passengers who arrived by the next train (11 A.N.) from Derby, when, from the description forwarded, he took the pri soner into custody on suspicion of having committed the robbery, and upon searching him he found a watch, an swerirbe the description, an d a l so a sum of money, ex actly tallying with the amount stolen, minus the railway fare from Derby. Upon asking the prisoner his name, he said it was Wm. Gilbert ; but upon being taken be fore Mr. J. W. B. Leigh, Mr. 11. S. Gibb, Mr. C. M. Caldecott, and Captain Leake, he gave the name o; Wm. Eltinton, and said that he came from Newcastle-upon- Tyne. lie had for some time been employed on the Mid land Railway as a stoker. RemandM to allow time for the attendance of the prosecutor. Mr. Troutr appeared about five o'clock in the afternoon, and identified the watch, &e , upon which the prisoner was transferred to the custody of one of the inspectors of the Midland Railway police, the robbery having been committed at Derby. THE SOUTH DEVON RAlLWAY.—Considerable ex citement has been experienced by many persons in this town and the neighbourhood in respect to the effect of the recent heavy gales and high titles upon the works of the South Devon Railway in the neighbourhood of Teignmouth. The coincidence of a strong S.E. wind with a high tide would, it was feared, very materially damage the portion of the line between Teignmouth and Dawlish ; nor have these fears been altogether ground less, for the effect of the gale and the high tide on Sun day night and Monday was to damage, considerably, a portion of the tea wall between Dawlish and Teign mouth, near what is called the Parson Tunnel. This. portion was what is termed dry wall, and not solid masonry. The water covered the line, and the trains were consequently obliged to feel their way very slowly, the third class p assengers b e i ng th oroug hly "drenched with the sea-water. On Tuesday the wind lulled and slightly changed, and the damages were found (consist.. ing of washing the ballasting from under the rails, &c.) to be such as to make it necessary that the trains should stop at Dawlish, instead of running on to Teignmoutb. On Wednesday evening the traffic between Teignmouth and Dawlish was resumed. There was a meeting of the directors on Tuesday, when they made a general survey of the line from Starcross to Teignmouth. The sea wall, in solid masonry, which was more exposed than the portion damaged, was not the least affected by the ga i o .—Plymouth Tinier ATTEMPT TO DESTROY LORD POSSE'S TELESCOPE. ARMAGH, OCT. 10.—An act, influenced by the wildest fanaticism, has just been committed in this neighbour• hood, of which the following are the particulars;—On Priday evening three respectably dressed individuals ap plied for permission to view the moon through Lord Rosse's telescope. On its being granted, they ascended the platform, and at the moment when the instrument was depressed on a level with the horizon, one of them advanced to the extreme end and cast a stone, which he must have concealed for the purpose, at the speculum.. It happily did not take effect, and in the effort be fell and fractured his right leg. They were immediately arrest ed, and are now undergoing an examination bel'ore the Mayor, Mr. W. Payton, assisted by Mr. W. W. Aloe and Mr. James Hardin. The latter gentleman, who hat been here for some time observing the different phases of the moon, has shown his usual ability in eliciting from the prisoners their - motives for the attempt. 'They state theeeselves to be from Cheltenham ; and the'one wh":, &mew the stone expresses his regret at not having destroyed the telescope, as he considers it " a blasphemy for man to serutiniee too closely the works of the Creator," and affirms that " the right hand of the Lord will yet be employed to dash in pieces the %my." The extiminatiou is still going on, SALES BY AUCTION. WINDSOR FOREST.
