The apoph thegm is well founded, more especially in relation to the criminal law. Justice should be administered without passion or excitement. Judges and jurymen should, so far as practicable, divest themselves of the ordinary feelings of humanity—not suffering them selves to be influenced either by compassion for a prisoner, or horror at the offence with which he is charged. In the olden time frequent appeals were made to juries to interpose between the stringent severity of the law and the prisoner. The act with which he was charged might have been committed under what our continental neighbours term " ex tenuating circumstances," which, although they could not justify, might materially lessen the grasamen of the crime. The skilful advocate would create a deep sympathy for his unfortunate client, who had perhaps previously maintained an exemplary character. Every peint that could be urged was strongly insisted on, and acquittal was often the result, although totally ' opposed to the evidence, and despite the salutary warnings of the presiding judge. The consequences of this undue leniency were of a serious description. It is the certainty rather than the severity of punish ment that strikes terror into ofienders, and thus re presses crime. The chance of acquittal served in a great degree to remove the wholesome terror that should ever be maintained, and a great increase of the chess of offencee in which the " humanity" of juries was usually called into operation, was the re sult. It is needless to cite examples of teis fact. For gery — so long as it continued to be a capital felony, In which the extreme sentence of the law was almost invariably carried into execution, and homicides by duelling, may serve as familiar instances. Numerous cases occurred in which the injured parties refused to put the machinery of the law into operation, declining to prosecute or even forfeiting their recognizances, rather than place the life of a fellow creature in jeo pardy. While verdicts in direct opposition to the facts of the case, w ere by no means uncommon. A prosecution was rarely instituted against any of the parties concerned, in a fair duel, sometimes when the survivor had evin ce d a great want ' of discretion, offering grcsa provocation to his oppone n t, or refus ing a reasonable ap o logy. A verdict of manslaughter, 3 returned in obedience to the lair of h onour, rather than to the la ws of the land, might mar k the indigna- Lion of the jury . As a g ener a l rule, how ever , t h e Oleic() W AS sanctioned, and it conseque n tl y b ecame a fashionable amus ement. Scarcel y a week elap se d in which accounts did not appear in the public jour nals of some " affair of honour" that had been con ducte l to a satisfactory conclusion, while a person Who bad just been committing a capital felony, by firing at a fellow-subject with intent to kill, strutted along the streets and highways as if he had been en gaged in a most laudable transaction. If the d ue l terminated fatally, the party might possibly go out of the way for a time, until the views of the family of the deceased were known r and it had been ascertained whether they would act in a gentlemanly lugener There was, however, but little if any search for the delinquent, and the required assurance was rarely long withheld. It is needless to say how completely matters have been changed, by a few stringent verdicts. There has been a complete revolution in public opinion, and the man who at the present day sent or accepted a challenge, would be exposed to ge neral censure, in place of the party who neglected what was termed " the vindication of his honour" by a personal encounter with his adversary. But if in these instances " hard cases made bad pre cedents," and that the results were exceedingly inju rious to the best interests of society, much more per nicious would be the straining of the law beyond its legitimate bounds, for the purpose of ensuring the punishment of some unmitigated ruffian, whose atro cities had excited the just indignation and disgust of all to whom they were revealed. There might be no doubt of the moral guilt of the party, or that he had richly merited the most stringent punishment; but it should be inflicted in strict conformity with the law, and a precedent should not be established that might sub sequently be made available in cases of a very different character, and against comparatively innocent persons. Better that the greatest ruffian that ever disgraced society should escape with comparative impunity, than that the law of the land—the great palladiums of our national liberties—should be in any degree strained. If necessary, a special statute might be enacted, as in the case of JONATHAN WILD, but there should be no tampering with the existing law. The case of JAMBS CANNON,' the chimney sweep, who was on Wednesday last, capitally convicted at the Central Criminal Court, for a brutal and unpro voked assault on a police constable, named DWYER, affords a strong illustration of this principle. No person could feel sympathy or compassion for the truculent scoundrel. His previous atrocities consti tuted him the terror of the neighbourhood in which he resided. There was a reckless ferocity exhibited on many occasions, more particularly on that which formed the subject of the indictment, that placed him beyond the bounds of civilized society. his very name was a byeword and reproach—notorious in every police court and station in the vicinity. He habitually yielded to his ungovernable temper, and was indifferent to the consequences either to himself or others. No penalty could be too severe for such a wretch. He was just the sort of person that a despot might order for instant execution, without exciting a feeling of compassion for the sufferer, or regret at the occurrence. The exemplary conduct of his latest victim, poor DWYER, too, increased the horror felt against his ruthless assailant. He was affording assistance at the moment of the savage onslaught, and, though so severely injured, he exhibited a degree of forbearance beyond all praise. It was, indeed, an extreme case in every sense of the phrase, and it is not from any sympathy with the convicted monster, but in order to prevent a dangerous precedent from being established, that we consider it an imperative duty to direct public attention to the subject. It must be borne in mind, that CANNON was not de fended by counsel—an omission that should never take place in capital felonies. Thera was, therefore, no opportunity for any person of com petent ability commenting upon the language of the statute, or explaining the nature of the " intent," and the overt acts, by which that " intent" could be determined. The circumstances of this case are so fresh in the public recollection, that it is quite unnecessary now to set them forth. The counsel for the prosecution, in opening the case to the jury, declared that it " was one that would ordinarily have been prosecuted in the form cf an aggravated misdemeanour, and he dwelt some time on the conduct and declarations—exclama tions might have been a more correct phrase—" of the prisoner during the time of the occurrence," to show the spirit by which he was animated, and to establish the criminal intent laid in the indictment. The Learned Judge who presided laid the case very fairly before the jury. He explained the nature of the Statute 7 WM. IV. and 1 Vic., c. 85 s. 2, which was to the effect, that if any person should administer poison or other destructive thing to another, or.stali, cut, or wound any person, or by any means whatever cause to any person bodily injury, dangerous to life, with intent to commit murder, such person should be guilty of felony, &0., and, being convicted, should suffer death. Now, it appears to to that the cns,e is question did not come within the provision of the statute—that the " means" resorted to should be g asdean gencris, with those previously referred to, such as poisoning, stab. bin,, cutting, or wounding, or that, at least, acme instrument or weapon dangerous to human life, and likely to prove fatal, should be resorted to. His Lordship declared, that " it was the first time in his experience that an indictment had been framed on that statute (or, we venture to assert, on any similar one), in which no weapon had been made use of. On the 4th section of the same statute it was considered ne nessary that some instrument should be used ; so that when the defendant bit off the prosecutor's finger, it was held not to be a wounding within the statute (R. v. Stevens, 1 Mood, c. c. 409 ; R. v. Harris, 4 Carring ton and Payne, 446.) It is right, however, to add, that the words " other means " are not included in the 4th section. If the jury could have convicted of a minor offence, we have little doubt that they would have availed themselves of the privilege ;' but, unfortunately, the difficulties which arose in the case of the BIRDS had led to an enactment which prevented such a crime. They should either find him guilty on the full charge, or acquit him altogether ; and hence the verdict of which we cannot help complaining. It would be impossible, within the compass of an article, to point out the consequences that may follow from this novel interpretation of the law. We may, however, illustrate it by saying that in every prize filht or pugilistic encounter, where death results, the parties may be capitally convicted, and that the use of the knife and other deadly weapons will receive great encouragement from this verdict of an English jury. On the part of Lord DERBY and the present COk • servatians Administration;we beg permission to return sincere thanks to the Edinburgh Review for its last article on Representative Reform. It appears that the obsequies of Protection are to be celebrated prior to those of the Duke of WELLINGTON ; that the QUEEN herself, indeed, is to be chief mourner, im diately followed, of course, by her PRIME MINISTER and her CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE4.2UER, and a very large accompaniment of mutes; and although a little uncontrollable grief is feared on the part of sonic country cousins, it is nevertheless fully expected that the grief will be interred with the remains of the deceased. No party strife can of course be tolerated daring the two funerals; but these being over, Lord DERIAY'S campaign will begin in earnest. Now as he will be able to choose his own position, and as he has defences which can long withstand a pretty vigo rous opposition, we do not see why be should not make the best of his advantages. It will be impos sible for the EX-PREMIER to summon the League to his rescue, if the Queue's Speech, and the movers and seconders :of the Address, do really dispose of the question of Protection. The leaders of the the League, to do them justice, have never shown the least solicitude for office. They were ready to back any statesman, Sir ROBERT PEEL or Lord JOHN, indifferently, if either would carry their object for them. Their first hot zeal against Lord DERBY was due entirely to the belief that he would try to unsettle, as far as he could, the;results of their seven years' labours; or that he might be compelled by his supporters to do it. In proportion as they saw that he was sincerely determined to abide by the vote of the country on their one question ; saw too that the Genius of the Cabinet was availing himself of the Budget as a magic spell to silence the last hopes of Anti-Free-Traders,—they became less and less fiery in their opposition, and some of them, to the great dismay of the Whigs, began to talk of giving the new Government a fair trial. The former, no doubt, hoped as soon as they had opened their eyes from their "Resignation fit," to see the,Treasury benches all ready cleared for them by the Free-traders. The Free-traders felt, however, no particular interest in the famil y c li que. They had been expecting secur i ty against a reversal of their policy, by a large extension of the suffrage to the classes most interested in cheap food, and a sweeping eeinolition of their enemies' strongholds, the nomination boroughs; utterly disappointed in thi s , t h ey naturally lost all confidence j iu the Whig Dliniger who deceivedha and were quite content to go on with practical legisla tion, and to bide their time. They have much of that feeling still. We expect that the great meeting at Illaikchester will show considerable unanimity of feel be slow to trust in Lord Joule's hands. The y ing amongst the Reformers, on points w hich they will will want a vary large and real extension of the suffrage an easier node of registration ; a fairer apportioument above all, they are determined to o to f l r e e r p at r e es n en o t n a ie tive wß g eform Bill without the Ballot; am? on most of these points, especially the last, and the one preceding it, Lord Jones, notwithstanding all his declamation at :Perth about democracy, is as they, and we too, believe, r, o more inclined to concession than the PREMIER himaelf. Lord Joins has not often, so far as we can remember, transcended the Edirtburgh Review and we feel little doubt that the writer of the late article on our representation was aware in generals, and perhaps in details, of what the Noble Lord would like to offer to Reformetrs. Some becom ing differences, deducted to save the credit for inde pendency of the writer and the statesman,. And we fancy the reviewer is not far from the meaning of the Perth laudations of Democracy. If so, we aga i n t oy that we think the Earl of DERBY is much indebted to the re viewer. Ile, too, will know what to offer to Reorm ers. Mr. DISRAELI has declared himself friendly Eo including intelligent operatives within the limits of an extended suffrage. Mr. Wanrons, we know, would have no personal objection to giving votes even to militiamen ; and Lord DERBY may well believe that to stem democracy the best course may be to enfran chise the elite of the masses. If so, the Edinburgh Rceiew will furnish him with some useful hints. A main object of the article we allude to is, to show that the middle classes are the chosen constituency of the Reform Bill (Lord DERBY'S own Bill, be it remem bered, as much as Lord Joins's) ; that by cutting off gradually the old freemen and potwallopers, and abolishing so many nomination boroughs, it diminish ed the power of the aristocracy on the one hand, and of the populace on the other ; while by enfranchising the ten-pound householders, it created a large middle class constituency. Nov, this was Lord DERBY'S work. This work he could consistently carry on ; and the reviewer contends that another Reform Bill ought to move in the ruts (we will not say on the rails) of the old one. Moreover, the reviewer shows how this may be done. He selects various classes of persons, against whose admission to the franc hise we believe that the greater part of Lord DERBY' S supporters would raise no objection whatever. He proposes to enfranchise all the members of the three learned professions, all officers in the army and navy, all schoolmasters, all who pay, or may have to pay, direct national taxes ; all these classes but the last would be, of course, an education suffrage, one which the most Conservative member of the present ' Cabinet would hardly object to; while most per sons paying direct taxes are already included in the present constituency ; it would merely fa cilitate, in some cases, sustaining a claim to be on the register. The reviewer goes, however, a little fur ther; he would put on the register all persons who could prove satisfactorily to the Revising Barrister that they were possessed of the clear sum of 501. invested in Government securities, in a savings' bank, or in the purchase of annuity. He would not, indeed, object to 501. worth of property, in any form, conferring a vote ; but he thinks the above-mentioned form the only ones susceptible of easy verification ; and as 504 invested in a freehold gives a vote, there appears, he truly enough conceives, no reasonable objection to its giving a vote if invested elsewhere. Here, again, we think Lord DERBY would be as liberal as the Whig organ. Men who had saved and invested SO/. would at least approximate very closely to the class Mr. DISRAELI declared himself willing to enfranchise. The reason which the reviewer appears to assign for preferring the extension he advocates, is one too which must find favour with the head of the present Ministry, and the part author of the Reform Bill. The voters thus created will be, he observes, of the class most resembling the middle classes, even such of them as belong nominally to the working classes ; on the same :ground he suggests the enfranchisement of all managers and superintendents of labourers, over lookers and foremen, &c., in factories. Ho discussed the propriety of a small number of members elected by working men exclusively, as their representatives, but thinks they would prove a knot of obstructives ; ales whether by double election workmen might net elect electors, and these again the members of Parliament (as in Norway), the fatal'objection with the reviewer is, that there is but one step between this and the awful abyss of universal suffrage ! In both these views Lord DERBY will agree with him. We have no doubt, moreover, that his Lordship and Mr. DISRAELI still more, would look favourably upon the suggestion which first appeared in the Spectarlor, and is much approved by the reviewer, of a certain num ber of nation* represent.t2i#es, to be elected by per sons who shall request the Revising Barrister to strike the name out of the local list, and insert it in the national list ; the object being to provide an opening for that superior class of candidates, who, though all intelligent persons wish to see them in Parliament, are not popular with any constituency, because, as independent thinkers, they cannot swallow the entire creed of any party. For ourselves, we frankly own that there have been many indi viduals excluded from Parliament, whom, in a local election, we could scarcely have supported, but whose absence from Parliament we deeply felt, and for whom, as national voters, we could have given our suffrage gladly. We must pass over the reviewer's redistribution of the franchise. Again, the Conservatives are much in debted to him for his ingenious special pleadings for the Arundels and Honitons, and other little places, called indeed towns—but, in fact, nothing better than large agricultural villages. Places, for the moat part, with a lord or a squire, and a clergyman ; but no library, no news-room, and no mechanics' institute. " They are places having a peculiar character."—Yes, that of insignificance. The Ballot, though he thinks it pru dent not to be too contemptuous, he evidently dislikes as much as the W. 8., w h o w r o te to FRAIL, of Shrews bury, for ago, manfo vi r D .hi e c r h by ilo W w e o m ul e d n t s io u n p e ,e d r , se a d short o i rt its time a fe th sa ep lan by necessity. lie would send round to all the electors an officer, attended of course by the agents of the candidates, to receive in a box, with a slit in the top, voting papers left at least 24 hours previously (the plan adopted in nUoting Poor-law Guardians in Sectland.) This, he shows, would prevent a good deal of the bribery, which gots to its worst about 2 p.m., on the polling day, and prevent also much of the excitement and drunkenness. Be it so. Yet, since the papers are signed with the name of the voter, and published in the poll-book, can it prevent that cruel, that guiltiest of bribery—intinaidaticr.. We have: known such numberless cases in which the most estimable members of society have been compelled to violate their religious or conscientious convictions by a barbarian, a political Laoner, under the name of a landlord, or a master; we have :seen their mental anguish sometimes, with such sorrow, that nothing can satisfy us but the protection of the Ballot for those who are commonly the beet voters in the whole community. The mercenary and the indifferent, who cares about them ? but the conscientious man who thinks for himself, ought to be surround e d by j every safeguard the Legislature can furnish. Lord JOIIN and his reviewer must add to this pretty little sub terfuge two things. One, that the voter is not to sign his name to the voting paper; another that he is to inclose it in an adhesive envelope, before he puts it into the box. Then, my Lord, we may begin to think of asking you back, that is, provided you pledge your self more surely than you did to the Appropriation Clause, to carry the Ballot, or to resign office. Meantime we see at present no reason why Lord DERBY cannot offer us nearly as good a Reform Bill as Lord Joins and his reviewer ; and, if so, we also see no reason why, after completing their legal and other reforms, they should be driven from office on the Reform question. The reviewer has furnished what Lord DERBY at first appeared to wish for, a check for Democracy only, and it will suit Lord DERBY better, for the very reason that it will be held to be a liberal thing from him, while it is in reality nothing but a spring buffer to save the Parliamentary train too violent a shock. A remarkable paper of a political character adorns the current number of Blacku•,ood for November. It has especial reference to the state of parties during the lapse of the recent "Holidays." The writer o ex f ualuttstivinenry_nceetiuerbarlaltyinogveirts t m he r r it e s co a ll s ee t t L ir in o t f er th am e l lulleaof tl nually set apart by general consent as a ti v 1 national relaxation. He has, generously enough,, however, a commiserative glance at those unfortunates who are necessarily compelled to " remain in bond age " while the rest of the world are recreating themselves on the sea-shore or upon the continent, compelled by an inexorable destiny to perform tasks which are wholly indispensable, Feelingly does he e m a as ni t though h.s3oY;owleietlfiroamn esyoemteo ur lo j n o g• p n a a s l t is b m ; b f i e t e t l e i r n l g y ly r eisscpweorries;encte—" than Tunisian iu l ni w si r s i n te s l l e a a v dr e e ry s .,, dung the H ri eigh-hol deg-days ß But then the people have this satisfaction in the circum stance that there are AROUS eyes ever on the watch, even when the walls of Parliament are as silent and as desolate as those of OPIAN'S " Old House at llome " Balclutha. Reverting to the consideration of more tranquil regions than the offices of the daily newspapers, the writer in Blackwood talks to us rather distractingly of the luxuries of a stroll over the heather, away from the roar of politics and even the thought of the Legislature. He reminds us plea santly of the only two notable interruptions to the pervading stillness immediately after the general elections were completed. Lord Joust RUSSELL'S movements in Scotland, when he went about recently pscking up stray burgess tickets" in his progress from Cart to Stirling, and from Stirling to Perth— are duly noticed with a sort of " aside " lamentation that no letter WAS written this time by the Whig leader from the good old city of Edinburgh. Prince Louis NAPOLEOWS movements in Southern France areithen referred to in terms worthy in their elevation of tho serene And stately judgment of our contempo rary. This reference is acknowledged by MAGA to be " a practical rebuke to the blindness of those who could see in this extissordinary man nothing more than the feetures of a common adventurer." We can perfectly well Understand, by the way, the feelings of exaltation prompting the monthly organ of the Der byites to "have at " the various discomfitted mem bers of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. We have before now expressed our doubt, however, of the policy, to say nothing of the indecorum, of pouring cut invec tives upon . the head of a defeated antagonist. Fortu nately, we observe in the present strictures of our contemporary a certain degree of moderation both in tone and in treatment. Instead of noisy vituperations as in October, we have little more than sly badinage in November. Sir JAMES GRAHAM is no longer railed at like a political pick-pocket. He is simply bantered, as though the satirist were not altogether unconscious that he was treating of a distinguished statesman and an illustrious administrator. Lord JOIiN RUSSELL is not soundly " rated " as you might reasonably expect to be rated yourself, sup posing you were brought some fine morning into sudden collision, cheek-by-jowl, with one of the delicate purveyors of fish at Billingsgate. The ex-Premier is satirized, it is true ; but the sati rist does not appear to be altogether unconscious that he is directing his jibes at one who not long since di rected the affairs of the Government of the British SOVEREIGN. We rejoice over this change in the man ner of our esteemed contemporary. We rejoice o'er the abandonment of a style of abuse which derogated, in no inconsiderable manner, from the dignity of its reputation. The article upon which we are here commenting, for instance, contrasts agreeably enough with the stormy diatribes which not long ago dis graced the pages simultaneously of both B/ackwood and the Quarterly. As to the former of those two periodicals, its present tone, we take it, is rather more in accordance with what might but reasonably he looked for in an organ presumed to express the senti ments actuating the leaders of, or at any rate the sympathizers with, a dominant Administration. Not thus vociferously and coarsely, we have been gratified to observe of late, has argued the daily organ of the DERBY Government. Indeed, the tone adopted during the lest few months by the 21Iorning Herald, cannot but have struck the attention of the more dispassionate class of observers, as contrasting honourably for that journal with the virulent antagonism and blustering vituperations indulged in by some amongst its Tory contemporaries. Happily, however, Blackwood seems to be at last tardily repentant. It no longer throws up the mudiof gratuitous insult in the:direction of Netherby : what though it still amuses itself by casting a slimy pebble or a casual potsherd in the way of jests and insinuations towards the constituency of Carlisle, for inasmuch as it chances to have become the consti tuency of the Right Honourable Baronet the ex•ex- Home Secretary ! Our contemporary, again, no longer condescends to hurl the brickbats of person • ality at Mr. COBDEN, or at Mr. BRIGHT, though it appears to compensate itself for this tardy not of self denial, by flourishing a bunch of stinging nettles in the shape of cooked statistics before the eyes of those who are the moat unlovely of all politicians in his estimation, the school of economists generally nsso elated in the Tory mind with the people of Manches ter. Even when alluding first to the arch-enemy among all on the side of the Opposition—late the Prime Minister of England--th© writer contents himself with mentioning him humorously as one whom the Derbyite3 have long come to look upon as "a choleric fellow, who would take his own way in spite of every remonstrance." So far good. The change is un questionably, in every respect, a change for the better. And we rest satisfied that it is one, moreover, more acceptable to those prudent rulers whom the maga zine is avowedly desirous of maintaining in authority; more welcome to the heart of Lord DERBY ; more agreeable to the wariest of his colleagues ; and cal culated, in fine, much more effectively to secure the realization of the chief of the popular wishes—not those of party squabblings or of factious contention, but rather those evolved by the genius of patriotic states manship in the blessings of a good, and the advanta ges!of an energetic, Government. ECCLESIASTICAL COURT.—The Law Times says that the Government intend to bring in a measure for the entire reform—if not for the abolition —of the Ecclesiastical Courts, so far as respects all their juri s di ct i on t h at i s not strictly ecclesiastical. SWEARING IN OE LORDS JUSTICES ON SATURDAY. —A privy council was held in Dublin Castle yesterday, when the Lord Chancellor, the most Ilea. Dr. Whately, Archbishop of Dublin, and Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Blakeney, commander of the forces in Ireland, were sworn in lords justices during the absence cf the Lord-Lieutenant, which, it is said, will extend to three or four weeks. The sudden visit of his Excellency to London at the opening of Parlia ment has given rise to various rumours and conjectures here. THE NEW LEGAL YEAR.—Term begins on 1 1 1195- day, and with it all the interest that will result from the first trial of the new procedures, both in law and equity. The common law courts commence the legal year with the smallest list of arrears ever known. Altogether there are but forty-seven, distributed thus : —ln the Q.B. 24; in the C.P. ;in the Ex. 17. Of those in the Q.B. 16 are especial cases and demurrers, 4 are new trials, and 4 appeals from the county courts. In the C.P. there is one demurrer, 2 are en larged rules, and 3 are new trials; and in the Ex. the spe cial paper has 5, the peremptory paper 3, and the new trial paper 29, including one that stands for judgm ent . O f course, the beginning of the t e rm will produce some motions for new trials growing ont of the last assizes, but beyond these there is no prospect of business to occupy half the term.—Lard Times. FINE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT Pilmurs's Fs ANNIHILATOR WORKS.—YeAerday the premises of the " An nihilator" Company, in Battersea-fields, were ravaged for two hours by a destructive fire. Air. Braidwood last night drew up the following official report of the occ urrence:— " Oct. 31, 1852,111 a.m., called to fire in Battersea -fields, near the Workhouse. On arriving found tho premises known as the stores and even houses of Phillips's Patent Fire An nihilator Company on fire. The flames were extinguished by firemen. Engines that attended : Five Brigade, one of the parish, and that of the West of England Office. The premises and their contents destroyed. Cause of the fire supposed to be from a defective flue." Unfortunately it is to be added that a poor woman, named Garrard, aged 54, the wife of the watchman, lost her life in the flames. She had gone to a cupboard for some domestic purpose, when she was overtaken by the flames, the outbreak of which probably were accompanied by the generation of some suffocating gas, which disabled her from retreating in time to save her life. Wh en found after the extinction of the fire the body was sho c ki ng l y disfigured. A largo number of " annihilators" were en the Premises, which were not long ago the scene of a number of experiments designed to exhibit the efficiency of the inven tion in cases of fire. SINGULAR ACOIDENT—Mr. G. S. Brent, the deputy-coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest, on Saturday !fist, at the Led Lion public-house, Twickenham-common, Twickenham, touching the death of Thomas Finney Pichols, aged twenty-eight, which occurred in the following singular manner:—lt appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a milkman, and resided with his father, who keeps a small market-garden in the above village, and on Wednesday afternoon last he got on a ladder for the purpose of repairing the roof of a pigsty which let in the rain, and being subject to epileptic fits, when, having taken off a considerable por tion of the moiling, he was suddenly attacked by one of the fits, by which he fell off the ladder through the roof, pitching with his head into a small pot, containing about three-quar ters of an inch depth of water. Being stunned by the fall, and as no a ss i s t ance was a t hand, he turned with his face downwards into the water, by which the passages of the mouth and nose were stopped, and the deceased was soon suffocated, in which position he was found by his father, who, not hearing him at work, was induced to go cut to look for him. Medical assistance was immediately obtained, but life had bean gone some time. A verdict is gcco.liinvi with the above evicivace WM returned, 7710.41 - AS _HOOD'S GRAVE. THOMiS HOOD —the gay, the gentle, the bright eyed, and large-hearted _THOMAS HOOD—is at last to have raised over his mouldering dust some token of the popular gratitude. NERO, monster as he was, had flowers scattered over his grave by some unknown hand as the sign of affectionate remembrance. Why, therefore, should not HOOD, the poet of humanity—. eshy should not HOOD have his monument ? Happily, that question has lately been asked by one whose voice has not pleaded in vain. The goodly work has been projected by a woman, and a kindred spirit ; and perhaps, among the list of living poets, none could have more zealously and gracefully effected it than &ma. COOK. A short time since a few simple and graphic verses from the pen of this lady, written from the heart, told us that not even the commonest memento—a slab or a head stone—marked the spot where HOOD is reposing at length in deep and everlasting tranquillity : scarcely a fortnight has passed by since a committee was orga nized to redeem the admirers of genius from that lamentable charge of negligence—and already nearly two hundred pounds have bee❑ collected to defray the expense of erecting some tardy tribute of recollection. Cordially, and with unaffected emotion, do we rejoice at this, because THOMAS Hoop was, to our thinking, one of the truest and noblest samples of human nature —ea brave heart beating warmly through a weary life—the energy of a man and the sensibility of a woman, audible to the world in every pulsation ! There is scarcely a man of letters recently deceased whose name is cherished more generally, certainly none more deservedly, with such genuine and earnest feelings of endearment. OLIVER GOLDSMITH IS re merabered even now, it is true, by a generation sub sequent to thatiof the JOHNSONIAN era, with kindred sentiments of tender and yearning admiration. But we can never forget with poor NoLL his babble and his gaucheries. The popular affection for THOMAS HOOD has none of these drawbacks to enthusiasm. We are required to make no allowances while we commend in his instance the sparkle of the wit and the music of the poetry—we think of him merely as of one whose writings have called forth alike so often our tears and our laughter. As such we remember him with gratitude, no less than with admiration. Here, at the grass -mound under which he lies in liensal-green Cemetery, he commands our homage, for in his life did he not command our sympathies ? Every one who has listened to the melody, and the pathos, and the sweetness, and the solemnity, and the benevolence of his "Bridge of Sighs," will answer, Yes. Every one will reply in like manner, who has loved (and who has not ?) that wonderful lyric of his" The Song of the Shirt," who ha-, listened to the chimes of the " Workhouse Clock," or has glanced over the grotesque and innoeent humour of the " Annual," or lingered among those quaint but exquisite conceits which he showered about with equal prodigality in prose and in metre, through the wide range of cur periodical literature. Happily, in this matter, the majority of tho world thinks with us ; and we may now look forward with confidence to the successful completion of the enterprise upon which a few ear nest admirers of THOMA.S HOOD have recently adven tured—that of raising over his honoured dust some appropriate evidence that he is borne in the national recollection. Already, nearly half of the sum pro posed to be collected to this end, has been subscribed with the most , gratifying promptitude,—insomuch, that we rest assured the remaining amount must be very speedily forthcoming. Those who have participated in the undertaking when it shall have attained its intended consummation, will recal the fact of that participation with no un enviable emotions --emotions only subordinate to those which cannot fail to be experienced by the fair and rarely-gifted originator of the enterprize. They will remember that they at least have offered to the noble and beautiful memory of THOMAS HOOD, the posthu mous panegyric of an epitaph carved upon no mean or fragile monument. AMERICAN Mau..—The United States mail steam ship Atlantic, West, commander, will sail for New York on Wednesday next, with the mails, &e. STEAM BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND LISBON.— Messrs. W. Wilson and Son have announced their intention of running a line of first-class screw steam-ships the Cormo rant, the Gannett, Albatross, and Pelican, between this port and 1.6b0n. The nrdt steamer will be the Gannett, Capt. Sullivan, which sails on the 13th inst. GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA.—It was rumoured to-day, in Liverpool, that Lord Ragland (Lord Fitzroy Somerset), the present Master-General of the Ordnance, will be Lord Dalhousie's successor as Governor-General of India. THE CRYSTAL PALACE OF 1851.—The ploughman is busy at work in Hyde Park, where the palace stood, pre paring the ground for grass seed, which will be sown in a few days. Except some pillars of granite and lumps of coal, upon which the ominous word " Lot" may be seen, nothing remains of the structure or its contents. Will there be no memorial erected to mark the spot where it stood ? TERMINATION OF THE BOOTMAKERS' STRIKE.—On Saturday, the unfortunate dispute between the masters and men in the " Strong Bootmakers' Strike," which has existed since the 18th of October, when about 900 men struck, was amicably settled. It appears that a meeting of the masters and men, twelve on each side, took place, and the confer ence lasted fourteen hours. Both sides appear to be satisfied with the arrangement that has been entered into between them. THREE MALE PERSONS FOUND DROWNED.--On Saturday morning, shortly after 11 o'clock, the body of a young man, apparently about 19 years of age, was found floating in the river off Limehouse Hole, in the parish of All Saints, Poplar. About noon, information was received by the summoning oflicer of the same district respecting the dis covery of the body of a man named Edward Skinner, aged 34, in the import basin of the East India Docks. A third body was picked up the same morning in the Limehouse cut of the River Lea. THE LATE Duna.—As a striking proof of the in terest created by this sad event in this locality, we may men tion that her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, in one of their recent drives, proceeded to Priest Hill, and stopped for some time in their carriage while the spot where Cournet fell was pointed out to them by their attendants. The field where the duel was fought is the second from the road, and is close to Runnymede, where the Egham races are now held. Until within the last day or two, a small heap of straw marked the spot where the un fortunate victim fell. The place selected for the fatal ren centre was a deep deli, completely shrovded from public view, except at one particular spot. had the whole of the sur vivors fled, the body might, in all probability, have remained undiscovered for months. Tun TURF.—No less than 313 horses passed the judge's chair at Newmarket last week. DEATH OF SIR EDWARD STANLEY. Sir Edward Stanley, the premier knight of Ireland, expired at his residence, Groat Brunswick-street, on the 27th instant. Sir Edward was knighted in the year 1809, on the occa sion of the jubilee, when the late King George the Third attained the 50th year of his reign. He took an active part in the proceedings of the old corporation, by which he was elected one of the sheriffs of the city, and sub sequently selected for the lucrative office of inspector of city prisons. Sir Edward acted as the friend of Mr. D'Esterre, in his fatal duel with the late Mr. O'Connell. Sir Edward was also, for many years, a leading member of the Royal Dublin Society, and was, it is said, the ori ginator of those periodical exhibitions of arts and manu factures, which have led to such important results both in Ireland and other countries. BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—It is rumoured that Mr. Laing intends to resign the managing directorship of the Briehton Railway, but not to leave the board.—Hera path, DIRECT TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND EUROPE.—The establishment of direct telegraphic communication by means of the Submarine Telegraphic Compeny's land line from Cornhill to Dover, and thence by submarine telegraph to Calais and Paris, and 200 of the principal cities of Europe, is to take place on Monday next. EFFECTS OF FREE TRADE: The expenses of the Banbury Union have been greatly reduced since the year 1845, when they were in round numbers 17,0001. This year they have been 12,0001., the reduction on the year being 1,6001. DEATH OF A JOCKEY IN IRELAND.—An inquest was held last week at Cashel, on the body of Christopher Colgan, a jockey, who was killed the preceding day while riding a steeple chase at the races in the vicinity of that town. The horse struck a fence with his chest, and fell back over the unfortunate rider, breaking the spine of his neck, his jaw -bone, and two ribs. The ver dict was acoidental death. DETERMINED SUICIDE BY A WAITER.—On Satur day Mr. Wakloy held an inquest in St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, on Joseph Turncock, aged 31, late a waiter at the Bell, Kilburn. On the 14th inst. he was found lying in a pool of blood, in the long room of the tavern, and a knife and razor beside him, with which he had cut his throat from ear to ear. He was sensible, but could not speak. The Jury returned, in the case of Turncock, the following verdict : " Deceased committed suicide, but what was the state of his mind at the time there is no evidence to prove." f 'FORTUNATE ESC APe.—Saturday afternoon, between four and live o'clock, a young French lady, attired in a riding habit and hat, mounted on a spirited horse, riding through Regent-street, accompanied by a gentleman, and followed by a groom, had a narrow escape of her life, as the horse, be coming restive, reared suddenly and threw his rider. She, fortunately, escaped with a slight bruise and a torn and soiled habit. The gentleman, having seen that his fair companion was unhurt, changed horses with her, when the lady, nothing daunted, remounted, and rode away laughing at her disaster. SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.— Mr. Wyndham Harding has resigned his office of secretary to the South Western Company, and it is not at ail improbable that other changes in the management and direction of the affairs of the company will shortly take place. The traffic on the trunk line is at present so large that the greatest difficulty is experienced in keeping pace with the increased requirements of the public, and it will re quire all the energy of the company to carry out the mimeo requisite for this purpose. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL N 72 CITY, Twr, o,CLocir. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday, amounted to 12,000 bales. The, market was quiet, but closed firmly a t f u ll prices. 'Of American 1,000 were taken for exportation, anr 7 ., 2,000 ditto and 100 Egyptian on speculation. The sales consisted of 9,000 American ; GOO Pern'am and Merenhain Gid. to 71c1.; 100 Bahia at 11. to 7d., 1500 Egyptian at 6, 1 ,- to €qel. and GOO Surat at 4d. to 51d. Railway shares were dull but firm. The state of the Manchester market is thus de scribed by Messrs. M'Nair, G -t reenhoes, and Irving:— Coincident with the transactions in Cotton may be said to be those in the manufactiered article. Seldom or ever have we known them to have been of greater extent at this season of the year, or indeed at any other. The demand has been increasingly progres sive ; and though occasional comparative quiet char acterized the action of the market for a while, that appeared to be on ty the result of heavy preceding spurcetl ions. Stock s, of either cloths or yarns, wore y ever lia,:eter at the close of the month than they are at tFeis moment; and notwithstanding the great advane:o which has taken place upon many de soriptiont of twist and cloth, the great bulk of the spinnfers and manufacturers aro under contract until the end of the year, and even beyond that period in many instances. The express in anticipation of the American mail has arrived, and the advices she brings appear to be satisfactory in respect to mercantile matters. The letters are not yet delivered. The Amsterdam stock market on the 80th inst. was dull for Dutch stock, but at previous rates. In Foreign very little was done. The Conversion of the Spanish Debt Is open one month longer to the holders. The Stock Exchange being closed as usual on the Ist November for a holiday, the halfayearly balance being taken at the Bank of Engla'ad. Consols are nominally 104 I. Turkish Loara are at about 3/ to 4 premium. Railway shares are consielered firm, but no bar gains of sufficient rnagniti7.ae to establish prices have been entered into. The following let per respecting the Sambre and Meuse Railway, is in reply to a special inquiry and may be.inter es ti N to many, although, of course,•• , to be taken as the opinion of a party having a stake in the concern:—. " I hasten to answer your request for information re specting. the Sambre and Mouse Railway. When the first steps of this line were made by the Belgian engi neers, in 183.5, they estimated the traffic at 500,000 tons to a line of 5,000 metres. The development of industry since this period proves that the calculations are below the reality. To instance a single fact, I will only speak of the traffic with France. The Belgian engineers have estimated it in 1835, at 125,000 tons, that is to say, in wines and heavy goods coming from France, and in coal exported from Belgium by the means of the railroad. But in this instance, the sole department of the Ar dennes takes 90,000 tons of coal, and the town of Rheims 50,000 tons. The cost of carrying these coals to Char 'ovine and Meziers at present is 25 frs. the ton, and the railway now proposes to take them there at the price of 18 to 19 frs. the ton. This reduction in price will double the consumption of the Usines M 6 tal:6igues, which still use wood. " The heavy gocds and the wines will in all probability increase 10,000 tons, so that the actual traffic by this lino will be 150,000 instead of 125,000, which was the estimate of the Belgian engineers. Relying then upon these facts and comparing them with what has occurred in all the Belgian railways, whose original value has been estimated at 75 per cent, below their return, I be lieve I can bring, without any exaggeration, the traffic of the Sambre and Meuse Railway from its opening to six millions of tonnage, by reason of 40 centimes or 8 centimes the kilometre, this traffic will produce 2,400,000 frs. of teceipts. Calculating the cost of transit, &c., at 40 per cent., au estimate too large for the trawl port of merchandize, there remains a net - annual return of 1,440,000 or 6.80 per cent. of capital on 21 millions employed for the principal line, and its branches, The shares at 10/. per share will produce then 13.60 per cent. This plain relation of facts tells you, that I consider that the shares of the Sambre and Meuse Railway will speedily reach 16/. per share, and even par. If there is an excess of expendi dure in the construction, there is compensalion in the surplus of the receipts, assured by the general move ment of traffic, which the opening in Franco of sevoral lines we did not expect, promizes. The railway meetings announced are the following : —East Indian, Nov. 2, 50 Old Broad Street ; Leeds Northern, Nov. 2, Leeds; Loudon and North IVest ern, Nov. 3, Euston Station ; Midland, Nov. 3, Darby; York and North Midland, Nov. 2, York; York, New castle, and Berwick, Nov. 2, York.

John Davidson, 13, Albert street, Camden-town, medical student, John Keith Wil kinson, 16, Guildford-street, R usse ll- square, medical student, and William Campbell, who described himself as a compositor, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bing ham, charged with being drunk and riotous. Sergeant Newman, 7 C, stated that about two o'clock this morning, ho was in Princes-street, whore ho saw the three defendants, who were exceedingly drunk, and bawling out at the top of their voice, to the groat annoy ance of the inhabitants. He requested them to desist and go away, and as they refused to act as ho desired, he took them to the station. The usual drunken fine of ss. each was imposed, which the defendants paid. EMBEZZLEMENT. —.Edward Granville, was charged with having embezzled several sums of money, received fur and on account of his late employer, Mr. Edward Henry England, money lender, 21, Coventry -street. Mr. Reason, who appeared for the prosecution, said at present he was not prepared to prove more than one ease against the prisoner; but if the latter was remanded ho should, on a future occasion, bring several other cases of embezzlement against him. The feats of one ease having been proved by the prose cutor, the prisoner was remanded till Friday next. MARKET NE WS-(THIS DAY) CORN EXCIIANGE.-MONDAY. - The supplies of Wheat on offer in the leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderate. On the whole, the demand ruled steady, and previous rates wcre well supported. Malting Barley was scarce, and the turn dearer; whilst grinding and distilling sorts commanded extreme rates. There was a fair sale for Malt, Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, at very full prices. Nearly the whole of the Continental Markets continue steady for all articles of grain, but we have no further advance to notice in the quotations. The latest accounts from New York state that Flour was held for more money. s _ _ Tho arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were very moderate. From abroad, we received 29,905 quarters of Wheat; 1,330 Barley; 8,429 Oats; 4,066 Beans; 3,918 Peas; 25 Taros; 6,239 Aniseed; 2,864 Rapeseed; 103 Mustard Seed; 400 sundry seeds; 520 sacks, and 36,151 barrels of Flour. Fresh up, today, the arrivals of English Wheat, coast wise, were very moderate, and in but middling condition. From the East coast, they wero trifling; bat wo had a few parcels by laud carriage from the Midland counties. Notwithstanding that the attendance of both town and country buyers wan comparatively limited, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled very firm, at the extreme rates paid on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected prior to the close of business. There wore numerous offers from the north as well as from other quarters. The growers were very firm in their demands, and previous rates were freely supported. About 1,200 quarters were disposed of. The show of Foreign Wheat was on the increase, yet importers were very firm, and a good business was trans acted in most descriptions, at full rates of currency. Floating cargoes were not offering so freely as of laic, the arrival of the coast during the last few days having fallen cIE The demand was not today active, yet the quotations were well supported. Wo had a ready sale for Making Barley, at an advance of is per quarter. Grinding and distilling parcels moved off freely, at very full prices. The Malt trade was steady, but no further advance took place in the quotations. Owing to the large arrivals from Ireland, the Oat trade was in a sluggish state, at barely previous quota tions. New Beans moved off sluggishly, at Is per quarter more money. Old qualities were quite as dear, with a fair demand. The bhow of Peas was good, yet the demand ruled steady, at last week's prices. Both English and Foreign Flour produced full quota tions, but the demand was cot brisk.
