CHESTERFIELD, SATURDAY NIGHT, JAN. 17.—0 n Satur day afternoon General Pasley, the Inspector-General of Rail ways, arrived at the Chesterfield station by a special train, accompanied by Mr. Bell, the secretary of the Midlands, to inquire into the circumstances relative to the cause of the serious collision which occurred at the Chesterfield station on Tuesday last. The General minutely examined the line, and measured the width where the accident occurred, which was about 30 yards beyond the north end of the station. He also instituted a rigid inquiry relative to the signals, it having been currently reported in the neighbourhood of Chesterfield that the man whose duty it was to attend to the signals was absent, and that consequently the signals were neglected. This report turned out to be incorrect; it is true that the porter Camomile was absent without leave, for which he was suspended by Mr. Cooper, the station-master, but be had got a man in his room to attend to his duty. By the direction of General Pasley, Mr. Cooper sent for the whole of time. : cm ]. c e oei.n men p; m iri i e h ( o le N ob v oy e p r e etrh o , n d etinh e u i t i. ) se - t w Y t e l o e v in n t t ma h na e as c t s pw i e o ca n tse t a o a o ls k toh p en l n e u, signals,ta yd questioned on th e su bj ect, b oth by the General and Mr. Bell, the rn ak r i e n s g u ltthoef menwhi which explain thath what signals expressed w e rhehtnusrenl himself thoroughly o a u t g the h ly satisfied that the signals were most carefully attended to, and exonerated Mr. Cooper and the men under him from any negligence as regards this most important part of their duty. The attention of General Pasley was next directed as to the speed at which the down train was coming, when it was clearly proved that notwithstanding there is an incline of 1 in 40 the driver was coming at a speed of 40 miles an hour, and that he only shut his steam off when he arrived at the Metal Bridge, which is scarcely 200 yards from the station, and that the engine. driver actnally passed the•south end - of the station at the rate of more than 20 miles an hour. As to the slippery state of the rails, that had nothing wh at _ ever to do with the accident; for it was fully proved before Mr. Hudson ' M.P., and the board of Directors at Derby, as well as to the satisfaction of General Pasley, that the signals were wholly disregarded by the engine-driver, which was the whole and sole cause of the accident. So satisfied are the Directors of the utterly reckless conduct of the engine driver, that he was dismissed the same afternoon , ely fortunate lif no lives; to answerfor. The engine to which this accident occurred is one made by Mr:Stephenson, and is the same Vt that he that he might think himself is which made the experimental trip on the narrow gauge trial between York and Darlington. It is only an act of justice to the Midland Company to state that they have been exceedingly anxious that the fullest investigation should be gone into relative to the acci dent, feeling that it was only by Providence that no li ves were lost or limbs mangled. Our correspondent is informed that after General Pasley closed his -investigation, he ex pressed himself fall•satisfied that the whole and sole blame restedwiththe engine-driver. one of truth trut h oce 0 tbsi l aproprep - , tr reE , ' ;e par e elf fort llo t the d )r5 of ' a ol d ibourers:t )t to 1 1)100 ,bdetl • .„ t b• rein ttrj !e2l: i CHRIS rmAs HOLIDAYS.

Messrs.

For ~pwards of fifty years, this invaluable medicine has main tained its reputation as a most effective remedy for the above com plaints, and, unassisted by advertisements, has found its way into almost every family in the United Kingdom. It is still prepared with the same care and attention by Mr. Henry Cundell, 47, Mino ries, London, who refrains from all eulogy on its valuable properties, as one trial suffices to prove its efficacy to the most sceptical.

B RITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, SYSTEM OF MEDICINE. THE HYGEIAN OR N 1) E 1 " 0 ' 11. - E. 1. All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids. 2. While in a state of embryo all animals consist entirely 3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed. 4. The fluids contained in tits human body are four times the weight of the solids. 5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all the others are derived. 6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine, but also carries with it all the rubbish, or decayed parts, to be depo sited in the intestines, previous to being expelled along with the excrement. 7. The blood is the life—the primum mobile—the first agent— from which all others derive their origin. 8. Health depends upon the purity of the blood. 9. The purity of the blood depends upon its having free outlets for its decayed particles. 10. Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the bowels, by reason of an accumu lation of glary mucous on the Inner surface of the intestines, &c. 11. This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and bad treatment of the faculty. 12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion „very spe cies of disease, according to the quality of the humour, or the parti • cular locality in which it is lodged. 13. All diseases proceed from one source, there fore they must all be cured by one medicine. 14. This medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxious in it self, yet sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear away the above-mentioned mucous, and purify the blood. 15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy requisite for ridding the body of all superfluous humours was a desideratum. 16. This discovery has been made by James Morison, the ifygeist, in the composition of the Vegetable Ustiversal Medicine (commonly known as Morison's Pills), of the British College of Health, Hamil ton-place, New road, Loudon. London —2, Fish-street-hill Glasgow-88, St. Vincent-street; Manager, John M`Lellan,jun., Esq. Dublin-12, Lower Sackville-street ; Manager, J. B. Bafikhead, Esq. The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage on shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ; but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals who have advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded. The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a wide field for the operations of the Association. The great bulk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period for which the loan has been granted. Among the many advantages it holds out, the following are not the least: To the Shipowner, the certainty of obtaining, at a moderate rate, and without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he most requires it. The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at an Nairobi. rate. To the Shipbuilder, particularly when building for the market, either at home or In our colonies, by placing him in a position less dependent upon immediate sale at an unfavourable season. To both, a participation in the profits of the Association by be ming shareholders. The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro prietary : The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the Association ; hence the double profit which will arise from these txo sources. A total absence of risk to the shareholders. It may be added that an extensive connexion has been already formed in the leading outports, and insurance business to a large amount secured for the Association. The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here of fany ex o h r i d b i i n te a d ry , m th a e ri e n x e pns u e r s an o ce f - m oin an c a e gement will not exceed those The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845.

Thus loan, so borrowing 1,0001. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its advance. The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted scale. One of the principal o b j ects of the I benefits as nearly as pos sible to t Societies, with the additi onal security of a subscribed capital.

Upon payment of the arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti cipation of the profits. For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with the interests of the Company. The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value of the policy, on its security. In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. 1 Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the *soared afforded by the most respectable established companies. A Table of Premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES. This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this mode of investment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed M them by the Company during their own lives or the lives of their nominee. The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an nuity granted is 61. per cent, per annum, each subsoriber or nominee will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 61. ; but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re spectively die eff, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of subscribers or their nominees. This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen i dente and comfort in their declining years. Parents may also by these means provide for their children. Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.

The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible with the security of the Assured and the Risibility of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits. ♦NNUAL PREMIUM TO ASSURE £lOO.

VIENNA, JaN. I . — Theexcrteinentoccasiened by the I visit of the Emperor of Russia having now subsi led, and the various cancans, political and anecdotical, either founded on truth or due to mere invention, upon the subj. ct, even down to the jokes of those established wits of Vienna. the bootmakers' boys, having been al ready declared " stale, flat, and unprofitable," the at tention of the newsmongering world has been attracted to a fresh topic of conversation—one relating- to a sub ject so full of strange mystery and conjecture, as to form a romance of real life, which, if it lacks entirely the ingredients in such tales—the love and assassination, and developement of human passions—is none the less full of interest and wonder—a tale almost incredible, were not the details, as far as established facts are con cerned, not only warranted by the most uudoubted au• thority, but matters of notorious publicity. To tell the tale, however, I must begin ab ore, and re late how a certain young Ilungarian of Presburg, not overburdened, it would seem, either with sense or talent, or even other advantages, moral or physical, of the name of Bukey, was some months since requested by a great aunt, the widow of a well-known advocate of the same city, to seek some family papers deposited in a garret in her house. During his search fir these matters, his attention, as it seems, was called by a friend who accompanied him—for his own powers of perception upon the subject do not appear to have been great—to certain documents which fe'l under their hands concerning persons of the highest rank in foreign countries. Roused to a sense of a certain im portance to be attached to these papers, young 6i:sky takes possession of them ; and one set of papers is sent to his Majesty the King of the French. Of some im portance they certainly must have been ; for the offer of a recompense in money for their being dispatched to Paris having been rejected by the young man, the Order of the Legion d'Honneur is bestowed upon him by Louis Philippe, and an invitation made to him by his Majesty to become his guest, if he should ever wish to visit Paris, and to have all the expenses of his journey paid. The contents of another set of papers are coinmuni cated to the families of the reigning houses of Baden, Lucca, and Tuscany, and this communication also has its value, for similar offers of pecuniary recompense from these various powers having been alike refused, orders from each of these countries are also bestowed upon the discoverer of the documents ; a gold snuff box, enriched with diamonds, is added by the Grand Duchess of Baden ; and behold the young nameless un considered advocate now parading the streets of his na tive town with four decorations dangling at his button hole. To what the contents of these important papers may have related is the subject only of conjec ture, or, at most, of vague rumour. Those appertaining to the family of Orleans are said to have been letters written by the famous Philippe Egan* the father of the present King of the French, to an Austrian Minister, during the times of the French Republic; but what is theirimportance as regards the family at the present day, can only be dimly divined. Those concerning the other ducal houses:already mentioned have received from rumour quite another signification, and are supposed to refer to estates in Hungary, to which these families have a claim, una l now ignored or forgotten by them, though what tie of relationship or affinity does not at all appear, and which, sold in troublous times for a mere trifle, and now of immeasurably greater worth, may, according to the tenor of Hungarian law, be re claimed at the price of the original sale, by the descend ants of the parties who originally possessed and sold them. The value however of such a discovery, if this conjecture be true, is more evident than us the previ ous case. How these papers, of so different and strange a nature, fell into the hands of the Presburg advocate in whose house they have been found so many years after wards, must necessarily be obscure ; but here again ru mour supplies the place of more authentic information, and we are told that originally in the possession of a well known Austrian Minister, they were placed by him in the hands of the depository at Presburg for security and secrecy during the time of the invasion of Austria by the French under Napoleon, and that, afterwards reclaimed, they were denied by the advocate ever to have been in his possession, though for what reason must again remain a mystery. The tale, however, is not yet done—the most extraordinary is still to come. Searching still further, emboldened by his discoveries, young Bulky stumbles some time afterwards upon papers nearly concerning the house of Austria. Armed with these documents, he came about two months since to Vienna, and there, as a recompense for his discovery, boldly demands the honour of being nominated chamber- lain to the emperor—a distinction only bestowed upon persons able to prove their pure and unalloyed descent from ancestors of Heaven knows how many degrees, and make what is called their ahnenprobe, and ahnenprobe young Buky can make none, for his father was a bourgeois advocate, his mother a butcher's daughter. What these last docu ments may contain none as yet know. Rumour is silent, and even conjecture holds its tongue in Austria. But the certain fact exist that the young unknown advo cate has been granted his bold demand, and now dons the uniform of the Emperor's chamberlain, and sports the significative two golden buttons, supposed to sup port the key emblematic of his office, on the back of his coat. However strange may be the adventures of Master Bay of Presburg—however incomprehensible his fortunes, the tale is true and warranted. The moral of it may be that some peeple are bore with golden spoons in their mouths—perhaps to stop them Tunes ANCIENT CHINESE SEALS FOUND IN IRELAND. At a meeting of the Natural History and Philosophi cal Society, held at Belfast, on the 13th of December last, Mr. Getty delivered a lecture on the natural his tory of man, which he illustrated by the several valu able donations made to the Society's museum, by Gordon A. Thomson, Esq., consisting of various articles of art costume, &c., from North and South America, the Islands of the Pacific, China, &c. After some observa tions on the several races, the lecturer took up the sub ject of these donations, some of which he de scribed end commented on as illustrating the social condition of man in various countries. When speaking of the early intercourse of the Chinese with other parts of the world, Mr. Getty men tioned the vessels found in the ancient Egyptian tombs and the still more remarkable proofs afforded by the small porcelain seals found in Ireland, long suspected but ROW proved, to be Chinese. The history of these, like many other matters of Irish antiquity, is enveloped in obscurity. They have a written character on the base of each, and are small cubes with a monkey as a handle. At one time it was doubted that the marks on the base were characters. An eminent zoologist, to whom Mr. Getty had showed one of those, declared the animal to bo the Chinese monkey, and Sir John Francis Davis had decided the inscriptions to be " perfectly recognisable as the ancient seal character of China, often used at the present day on the seals of public and private persons." Mr. Joseph Iluband Smith read a paper on it some time ago, in the Royal Irish Academy. He also had casts made of many of these seals, some of which are in the Belfast Museum, as well as two of the original seals. In Belfast, Mr. Joseph William Murphy has been dili gently pushing the inquiry, and is anxious to ascertain the history of every one found in Ireland up to the pre sent period, so that their identity may be determined beyond doubt. Mr. Getty read an interesting memoir, furnished by Mr. Murphy and exhibited a great variety of casts made by that gentleman, as well from the Irish seal as mo dern Chinese, many of which. formed of steatite, have been brought to Europe, but none at all identical in ma terial with those found in Ireland. The character, too, of the Irish is of a more ancient form, Mr. Getty from the valuable donation lately made the Museum by G. A. Thomson, Esq., exhibited several of the modern seals, as well as various public documents, &c., bearing a stamp on them in the seal character. He also exhibited several very beautiful carved works, in sandal-wood, having small seals on them, from Mr. Murphy's collec tion. Extracts were also read from a letter received about a month ago, from Mr. Correlate, formerly of Belfast, now residing at Hong.-Kong, giving a transla tion of the impression on one of the Irish seals, obtained by the Bev. Mr. Gutalaff, the Secretary to the Govern ment, from a learned Chinese other Chinese afterwards read it, and gave the same interpretation. General D'Aguilar had also requested Mr. Comelate to present to the Museum a print of the Goddess of Mei-cy, given to him by the Buddist priests of the Temple of Fo, in Amoy, having on it impressions of two seals in the same character. This communication was interesting as the first actual interpretation, by a Chinese scholar, and fixes beyond doubt the fact of the seals found in different parts of Ireland being Chinese, however singular it may appear. CALLING-OUT OF THE MILITIA.—A crowded meet, ing of the working classes was held on Monday night at the Assembly Rooms, Webber-street, Blackfriars-road, fur the purpose of agreeing to resolutions and a petition—the latter to the House of Commons, against the calling-out of the militia. Mr. Feargus O'Connor was present. Mr. John Gathard in the chair. The gist of the resolutions and petition, which were moved and seconded by Messrs. Clarke, Feargus O'Connor, Cooper (the Chartist poet), Doyle, Ridley, Wheeler, M'Grath, and Knight, was, that the alleged circumstances for galling out the militia, in the opinion of the meeting, did not exist at the present time; that it had a tendency to press unduly on the working classes (who would find it difficult to get substitutes); that it tended to draw them away from their peaceful avocations ; and that not being represented in Parliament, it would be hard to call upon them to serve as soldiers. The sense of the meeting, the spirit of the resolutions and petition, and the sentiments of the speakers, were averse to a war with the United States of America ; and in accordance with Mr. Cooper (who is now averse to physical force) that the dif ference might be much better settled by " Arbitration." The resolutions and petition were carried unanimously, and it was agreed that the latter should be entrusted to bin T. S. Duncombe, M.l'., for presentation to the House of Corn moL.s. The Earl Grey arrived at his mansion, in Belgrave square, on Monday, from Yorkshire. T he Countess was ex pected the same evening. NEw IRISH CATHOLIC BISHOP.—On Sunday next the Right Rev.

MR. HUME AND THE WHIGS. The following letter from Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., ad dressed to Mr. Tait, publisher, Edinburgh, appears in the Edinburgh Chronicle : " Bryanston-square, January, 1846. " Sir,—l do not wonder that, at a distance, you should be at a loss to understand the causes of the late changes of Ministers, and of their movements, when we here cannot see any rational grounds for the proceedings, as regards the Whigs, at least. " I believe that Sir Robert Peel's proposition as to the re peal of the laws that prohibit the importation of food was so large and so complete, that his colleagues were terrified, and resigned. His resolution was, however, so fixed on the mea sure, that he risked the long-cherished connexion with the Duke of Wellington, and was certain of breaking up the party of which he himself was the head. Neither of these considerations (weighty always with men seeking place and power) deterred Sir Robert Peel from persevering; and he resigned, because he saw that he could not carry his mea sure without all the influence of the Duke. He advised her Majesty to send for Lord John Russell, whose recent lettei, as a kind of advertisement that he was ready to take office, pointed him out as the person to do the work which Sir Robert wished to have done. It is understood that Sir Robert would have supported Lord John, had the latter proceeded to carry out the repeal of the corn-laws. But no calculation could be made of the number of Peel's usual supporters who would have gone with him. I believe the number would have been small. "From the moment I heard that Lord John Russell had been sent for, I foretold that he would fail; as he would not be allowed, by his Whig friends, to make his Cabinet con sist, to the extent of one-half, of free traders and Liberals, and one-half of Whigs. A less proportion of Free-traders would not be sufficient to gain the confidence of the nation. "The late Whig Ministry, after the death of Lord Hol land, had departed from the principles of economy, peace, and progressive reform, to which Lord Grey mid his party wero pledged ; and had, in turn, bullied all turope, attacked unoffending . Syria, and made no progress towards the settle ment of the boundary on the north-east of the United States. The Whigs had, in tb.e last three years of their administra tion, adopted finality in reform measures as their motto , had increased the expenditure of our war establishment about three millions in each of these years beyond the re venue, which remained the same; and had risked a general war in Europe by their proceedings against Mehemet All and Syria. _ _ " It was not to be believed that all this should have taken place, to the disgust of the nation. and its alienation from Whig rule, without Lord John Russell and his former col leagues knowing it. You recollect that - they had lost their places, without the regret of any person, except those who lived upon the public taxes, or who expected to have a por tion of then by the Whigs remaining in office. Yet, when L rd John was called on by the Queen to form an adminis tration, his old colleagues collected around him, confident of being again in office, and having learned nothing during the four years they had been in opposition. " Lord John, of his own accord, wrote to Mr. Cobden to offer him the Vice-Presidentship of the Board of Trade. But, so far as I can learn, not one Liberal, Radical, or free-trader was incited to join, or was intended for a seat in the Cabinet. Without half of the Cabinet being composed of these parties, 1 repeat, the nation could have placed no confidence in the Ad ministration. " When, therefore, you hear of Lord Grey as the cause of the Whig Administration being broken up, do not believe it. The old Whigs would not act unless alone. And when Lord John found how he was placed, he very prudently resigned. Lord Grey has been made the scape-goat. " Much as we want free trade, we want peace more. With Lord Palmerston as Foreign Minister, the dread of war, from old recollection, would have been almost as bad as war itself. And, therefore, I give Lord Grey great credit for his stand against Lord Palmerston as Foreign Minister. As Minister for the Colonies, or in any other situation, Lord Palmeraton would be a useful man. _ _ _ _ _ a. a " But what will the world say of Lord John Russell's force or sense in admitting that he could not go on without Lord Grey, who had left him on a former occasion ? " We have a far better chance under Peel than under Russell. My hopes are strong that we shall have a large measure of free trade.—Yours sincerely, " JOSEPH HUME." " Gentlemen of the grand jury, on the last occasion when it would have been my duty as well as my pro vince to have presided here, I was disabled from doing so from my then being enga ge d i n ma ki ng a somew h at extensive tour in America. I w as not t h ere, how ever, as anidler, but as one seeking all the information I could obtain during the shortness of me stay, and of endeavouring to obtain knowledge of the state o f that great country, not only of a social, but of an econo mical, and of a moral importance; also to asce r t a i n t h e mode of their application of capital in procuring that state of discipline.and good order everywhere prevalent amongst that great people. Dialy of the points upon which I satisfied myself, however, it will not be neces sary for me to touch upon this day, although I consider them to be of no little importance; yet there is one sub ject which I think deserves our serious attention as mem bers of the English community. This subject resolves itself into two points; first, the manner in which educa tion is conducted, and secondly, the method in which their gaols and penitentiaries aro managed. It is strange, that in a comparatively new country, that education (to use a common phrase) has gone so much a-head of the mother country, and that particularly amongst the lower classes, where every man feels ashamed who has no education, and where every man who is educated feels ashamed of committing a crime. In our own country there is a prejudice against going a-head in education ; and in this immediate neighbourhood a foolish prejudice prevails amongst the middle classes against having their children educated where the children of the labouring classes receive their education. But in America it is totally (Efferent. I had, during my stay in Philadelphia, an opportunity of visiting one of the largest scholastic establishments in that city, and I found that children of all classes, not only in that city, but throughout the whole state of Pennsylvania, were there congregated, and were all taking an educa tion in common, not being asked what were the cir cumstances, or situations in lite of their respective parents, or what churches or chapels they attended, but all seemed bent upon attaining the object for which they were sent, that of a sound and practical education to tit them for their respective stations in after life. I found many of these youths exceedingly acute, and put seve ral questions to them, all of which were answered in a surprising manner ; and on inquiry, after a lengthened examination, as to who the young man was who had acquitted himself the best in the establishment, I was answered that he was th e son o f the lamp-lighter of the city : With respect to th e management of their gaols and penitentiaries, I find that they have e s t a bli s h e d a system of discipline and correct ion which is working most ad mirably, and this is to be found in the great decrease of the offenders under confinement. The prison I in s p ecte d is capable of holding 700 prisoners ; and a few years back the average number confined was about 600, but latterly these have dwindled down to about an average of 35 0. I enquired, in the various states which I visited, whether the same system was adopted, and was invariably told that it was, and that with the same results. I mention this fact, not knowing what has latterly been done in our own gaol, but it appears to me to be worthy o f our cons id era ti on , a a d, if practi cable, of our adoption ; and I have not the slightes t doubt on my mind that the practice of the same causes will produce the same effects. Education going hand in hand with proper discipline, must produce re sults which are not only highly desirable, but which must in time lead on to a sounder and better state of society in general. There is one other benefit in America which cannot always be had here, and that is plenty of labour. Now when a prisoner gets out of gaol, and after having suffered that penalty for his crime which the law awards, he ultimately emigrates to another state where his former course of life and his crimes are unknown, and where he can redeem his character by following a different course of life from what he had previously done where his crimes had found him out. Now there is one case which will be brought before you to-day upon which this argument will bear. A boy of the name of Smith, about sixteen years of age, is charged with stealing a tame rabbit, along with an other person, greatly his senior in age. If he should be sent before us for trial for the felony and found guilty (although an excelle n t c h arac t er has been given of him to the bench), his chara c t er w ill b e gone for ever. He cannot leave the district, but must continue to reside in the midst of a densely populated neighbourhood, where he will be liable always to be reminded of his having been convicted of a felony. From the depositions it appears to me that his guilt is extremely questionable; and if you can consistently with the oath you have taken, and the nature of the evidence which will be brought before you, throw out the bill, you may satisfy the jus tice of the case, and spare his future character." ACCIDENT WHILE HUNTING. —Lord Charles Russell narrowly escaped a serious accident on Monday last. The hounds met at Cranfield, when his Lordship crosing an arch way over a brook, it gave way, and the horse fell, throwing Lord Charles to the ground. his Lordship lay with one leg under the horse; at length, by the aid of some ropes, he was slowly drawn from under the horse, after remaining more than twenty minutes M so precarious a situation, without sustaining any serious injury. The Fairy steam-packet, belonging to the Wool wich Company, brought down 72 female c nvicts on Monday from Alillbank Penite: Vary, and put them on board the Emma liumtene, hired coavict ship, moored off the Royal Arsenal. One hundred additional are expected at Woolwich to-morrow for embarkation, for conveyance to Van Dieman's Land.

MADAME CELESTE AND WEBSTER IN GLASGOW.- The rapidity with which performers of note are brought for ward in succession on the Dunlop-street boards is certainly a novelty in that theatre, and to that extent certainly au im provement. The latest accessions are Madame Celeste, the celebrated French lady, although an English actress, and Mr. Webster, lessee of the Haymarket in London, who are engaged for a very limited period. Celeste has obtained high and deserved celebrity as a ballet dancer, but her melo dramatic powers are not less striking, and we were equally delighted with the fidelity of her assumptions of character, and the rapidity, gracefulness, and expression of her pan tomime, by means of which she most successfully contrives to rivet the attention of her audience. Mr. Webster is one of the few comedians left upon the modern stage, who is equally at home in high comedy and light farce, and who, With rich powers of humour, never descends to buffoonery or grimace. He is well worthy to rank in the same class with, Farren, Murray, and Keeley. His Ally Croaker, in the Mi series of Human Life, is a picture of its kind, and kept the house in convulsions of laughter. The visit of these artists has been well received by all who can appreciate the dra matic vivacity and gracefulness of the one, and the quiet ex pressive humour of the other.—Glasgow Herald. FATHER MATHEW.—The Apostle of Temperance arrived this morning from Kilkenny, and will leave on to morrow to preach and administer the pledge at Galway. He will visit Kilcornan, Kinvarra, and Gort, in the same county, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and will return to Cork on Thursday next.—Cork Southern Reporter. RAILWAYS AND COACHES.—AII the coaches be tween Norwich and London have ceased to run, the last being the mail through Bury St. Edmund's, which was discontinued on the Gth inst. The others have been discontinued for some time. The sole means of land conveyance between this Counties' Railway, London is now by the Norfolk and Eastern managed than hitherto, Railway, which, we underst a a n n d d, or seven coaches satisfaction of the public.

The rail way has, therefore, much increased the number of horse conveyances to and trom all the towns along the line, and consequently increased the number of horses, drivers, ostlers, and horse-keepers employed. In fact, horses are dearer than! ever they were, and more in demand ; and the consumption of oats is not likely to be diminished, but rather increased. The apprehensions of agriculturists on this point, therefore, we are happy to say, are not, according to present appearanees, likely to be realised.—lpswich Express. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A SOLITARY.—On Monday., evening, shortly after six o'clock, a fire was dis covered in one of the bedrooms of Belle Vue Villa, Bathwick hill, the residence of the Honourable Mrs. Southwell. An alarm being given, Captain Carroll ar d the police brigade were almost immediately on the spot. Inspector Smith having procured a ladder, ascended and reached the window of the room, where he perceived the curtains of the bed to be on fire. Having broken the window, Smith and another policeman entered, and found the Hon. Mrs. Southwell on the floor insensible, both of her arms being a little burned. The flames of the curtains were speedily extinguished, and Mr. Kilvert, surgeon, attended the lady, and dressed the parts which had been scorched. But for the aid of the police there is little doubt the house would have fallen a prey to the fire, and its owner, who is very eccentric, and resides alone, would have perished in it. The peculiarity of the habits of this old lady, has for a time attracted the notice of the police and others who have had occasion to call at the house. It appears that for upwards of ten years no domestic of any kind has been permitted to reside with her, so that the cause of the accident cannot be stated. The method by which she has been supplied with the necessaries of life has been front a plan of her own contrivance —taking t_h a er.pT a_. t ., her drawing-room window by means of a string a i n( t t c kandly her orders having been previously given thzouurhgilg offices of sonic parties in her confidence. v period, the residence has undergone noocflithyansin spec t a cle, and person of the old woman presente d a m st had apparently been as grea t a stranger t o an y ablutions ! cleansing; and Bath Journal.
