OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE LYING IN STATE AND FRPGRAMI`SE OF THE PRoCESSION. The whole of the preparations for the fitting recep tion of the body of the deceased D u k e , an d its lying in state at the hall of Chelsea C o ll ege Hospital, will be completed by Wednesday n ex t, th e 10th inst. On that day the body will he privately removed, in a hearse and four, from W e i mer Castle to the Dover station of the Lond on an d D over R a il wa y, and from thence, accompanied by a guard of honour, brought by special train to Lond on . Immediately afterwards it will be removed in a hearse, under an escort of cavalry, to the hall of Chelsea College Hospital, , where it will remain until the night of the 17th. The whole of the proceedings, up to the arrival of the body at Chelsea will be conducted with the strict est privacy ; and with this view it will be so arranged that the special train conveying the remains will arrive at the terminus at the Bricklayers' Arms dur ing the night time. On the afternoon of Thursday, the 11th, the veterans of :Chelsea w ill be admitted to gaze for the lest time upon the re mains of him by whom many of them were so of t en led to victory. Upon the same occasion th e representatives of the press will also be present. On Friday, the 12th, the lying in state will commence, but the admission on this day will be restricted to those who are provided with tickets from the Lord Chamberlain's office. The following Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes day, the public will be admitted without tickets. I n the evening of Wednesday, the 17th of November, the body, escorted by cavalry as before, will be re moved to the audience chamber of the Horse Guards, wl_._ w ill Jain for the night. On the following morning, at seven o'clock, the procession will com mence forming in St. James's-park, and precisely et half-past seven will proceed' up Constitution-hill, through Piccadilly, by St. James's•street, along Pall mall, Cockapur-street, Charing-cross, and the Strand to Temple-bar, and thence to the Cathedral. FUNERAL CAR OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The Lord Chamberlain having requested the Superintendents of the Department of Practical Art to suggest a suitable design for the Car, the following are the arrangements which have been approved of by her Majesty :—The leading idea adopted has been to obtain soldier-like simplicity, with grandeur, solem nity, and reality. Whatever there is, coffin, bier, trophies, and metal carriage, all are real, and every thing in the nature of a sham has been eschewed. The dimensions have been controlled by the height and width of Temple-bar, which will not admit any thing much higher than seventeen feet. The design of the car, based upon the general idea suggested by the superintendents, was given by the Art Superin tendent, Mr. Redgrave,but its constructive and orna mental details have been worked out and superintended by Professor Semper, whilst the details relating to the woven fabrics and heraldry, have been designed by Mr. 0. Hudson, both being professors in the department. The car, with its various equipments, consists of four stages or compartments. 1. The coffin will be the principal object on the car, at the summit uncovered, having simply the usual military accoutrements, cap, sword, &c., upon it. To shelter the coffin and pall from rain, a small canopy of rich tissue, formed of a pattern suggested by Indian embroidery, will be sup ported by halberds. The tissue will consist of silver and silk, woven by Messrs. Keith, of Spitalfields ; and at the corners will be hung chaplets of real laurel. (This canopy will not be used if the day is fine.) 2. The bier will be covered with a black velvet pall, diapered alternately with the Duke's crest and Field-marshal's batons ecross, worked in silver, and having rich silver-'ace fringe of laurel leaves, with the legend, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." The frieze has been embroidered under Mr. Hudson's directions, and worked partly by students of the Female School of Ornamental Art. 3. The platform of the car will be of an architec tural treatment, gilt, on which will be inscribed the names of the Duke's victories. The construction and modelling are executed by Mr. Jackson, of Rath bone-place. In the centre, at the four sides, are to be military trophies of modern arms, helmets, guns, flags, and drums, being real implements furnished by the Ordnance. The whole will be placed on a car riage richly ornamented in bronze, about 20 feet long and 11 feet wide. Professor Semper has directed this portion. The modelling has been executed partly by Mr. Whittaker, a scholar, and Mr. Willes, a student of the department, and partly at Messrs. Jackson's establishment. The modelling of the Duke's arms has been entrusted to Mr. Thomas. The castings have been apportioned as follows : the wheels to Messrs. Tylers, of Warwick-lane ; the corner figures of fame holding palms, to Messrs. Stuart and Smith, of Sheffield ; the panels of far. ,e to Messrs. Hooles, of Sheffield ; the lions' heads to Mr. Messenger, of Bir mingham; and the spandrels, moulding, and Duke's arms, to Mr. Robinson, of Pimlico. The carriage, built by Messrs. Barker, will be drawn by 12 horses draped, with the Duke's arms, three abreast, lead by serjeants of the Horse Artillery. The superintend ence of the whole is entrusted to Messrs. Banting. MAIDSTONE versus MACAULAY. We received last night the following letter, which, like :hat of yesterday, we print verbatim et liberating:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. 71, South Audley-street, Nov. 5, 1852, Sir.—lf I were to say, as you pleasantly express i (" artistically speaking,") that you had teen guilty of garbling a Mss, the " purely artistical purpose," or even the " intention of grotesque contrast," which I might plead, would hardly bear me blameless ; but if I bring the charge against you apart from these high literary considerations, and prove it, too, the matter must rest between you and your conscience. You certainly stated in this Morning's Times, that you had publish'd my letter to Mr. Macaulay, verbatim. If so, what has become of this sentence which as certainly form'd a part of it, when it came into your hands. " Recollect ! This is not the first cension upon which Scotchmen of your (Mr. Mscaulay's) station and preten sions, have had cause to regret an unprovok'd onslaught upon Englishmen of mine." So much for your good faith; now for your leading article. You appear to me to misstate or wilfully per vert the whole drift of Mr. Macaulay's argument. His text when strip's of fluff and bustle is simply this— " Lord Derby's followers, as a body, will profess any thing to get a seat in Parliament"! There is the charge fairly stated; and believe me, it is one which has nothing whatever to do, with Hexameters, or Pentameters. Now, Sir ! it may be within fae ranee of your recol lection, that when the late Mr. O'Connell' dar'd to charge the Committees of a House of Commons of which I was a Member, with perjury in the lump, I thought it my duty to resent the scondaloua imputation. For the same reasons which actuated me then, I now resent an equally scandalous imputation advanced by Mr. Macaulay. My Free-Trade Hexameters are fair game to him or any other critic. As a political squib, they seem in fair way of securing more than en average share of atten tion. I complain of nothing on this hoed ; but my honour shall never lie at suother'a mercy, if I know it. A propos de bottes, Pray don't continue to propagate a strange error ; viz, that " there is nothing light and cheery about me." Get into a patent Hansom ! Drive to Bruton St ! Ask the clerk of the Conncil, (and even you consider him an authority,) if you aro not mistaken on this head ! I will abide by his decision. But to return to the record: Mr Macaulay goes down express (accidentally of course, but just two days before the meeting of Parliament) to the cock-pit of modern Athens , . He there exhibits himself as a sort of literary Shake-bag, and crows immoderately, till his voice at length fails him. Very well! Yet for all that, he must requires an o c r a c n h n es o t t r e a x opfe Provosts, ct t take the rough with the smooth. "Caw me! caw thee,"is a local a e ir l which ir he o carry B him. It aniwlraieys,waind with r finnan ,o r haddock eaters to e li c it a ll it s beauties. conclude, you are utterly mistaken in sn osir that I have any intentionof d • PP g damaging Mr Macaulay, as you term it. I like a good stand up fight, and9hands both before and after it; iscan s hako but while it in pro gress, the more I punish my adversary the better I am p'eased. After it is over, I shall be among the first to run for surgeon for him, if he needs one. I am, Sir, your obedt. servant, MAIDSTONE, BELGIAN COIN.—The Belgian Minister of Finance has just introduce d into the Chamber of Representatives lain:g g the as bill for demonet izin g 25-franc p ieces, a nd them by pie ces of 20 francs each. According to- t e rms of the bil l, the 25.!ranc pieces will cease to be legal currency after the Ist of January, 18 53, and wil l be received in Treasury payments, and even exchawzed by the receivers of Government taxes till the 30th December next. T he new 20-franc pieces will be oue gramme in weight, and as regards the extent to which they will be admitted in ordinary payments, the same regulations will apply tie are at present in force with re ference to the 25-franc pieces. MIDDLESEX FREEHOLD LAND ScCIETY a .—L t the sst Castle night a meetine of the above Wy societ was held Tvern, entish-town—Mr. illi am Dyk© in the chair. Al a though K this society has only existed ten months,l,3so shares have been taken, and above 36 acres of land Inlye been purchased on the Finchley-road. The estate will be forthwith divided into 256 allotments for distribution among the members. The meeting having been addressed by Mr. Lewis, the secretary, and seve ral other gentle men, nearly the entire meeting enrolled themselves members of the society. Lusa TRADE.—There has been a very remarkable. tpseanutbu Saturday Company, o improvement in the trade between Dubl in and Liver pool sinc e th e c ommencement of the present ye ar, ex dilrni exports as well as imports. On Fri da y and lest, tllesteamers harbour belonging for Liverpool t he City fully freighted with cattle, corn, provisions, and various arti cles of produce; and the exports are steadily augment ing. On the other hand, the imports, chiefly of Eng lish manufactured goods, are now, perhaps, groAter in amount than at any former period. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 185 2. THE MINT REFORMED AND UNREFORTIED. TJ THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The paragraph in your paper of the 28th inst., with regard to the mint and scarcity of silver coin, having emanated from authority, I am not disposed to dispute its substantial accuracy. The coinage in about four months of 160,0001, of silver, or at the rate of 480,000/ a year, is certainly not an affair to boast of, and quite inadequate to the necessities of the public. The value of the gold is in figures withheld, and I pre sume, therefore, the amount was ineousiderable, say 500,000/. Now such a lamentable statement as this naturally provokes a comvarison between the mint reformed, the mint of Wood, Trevelyan, & Co. on the cheap and grind ing system, and the old respectable establishment which never failed to adequately supply the public wants, even in the most difficult times during a period of 35 years. In the Parliamentary report ore million ster ling per annum is set down as the ammnt which the mint could coin in silver, besides an extensive coinage of gold, an amount, therefore, double whatis now issued to the public. On whom the responsibility of this measure of reform falls, I cannot say, but its consequences are too grave and important not to extort some enquiry. The Bank of England, and bankers generally, are esuch embarassed by the want of coin, and the supply is bat a drop in com parison with the exigency of the ease. The gold coin is leaving tho country with eraraordinary ra pidity, at the rate of 400,000/ a week, and the mint is is found wholly unable to meet the drsin. Representa tions are made by the Bank almost dilly, but the Mint only make promises which have not Set been fulfilled. The power of the Mint having been often proved in former times, what reason can be assiped for the pre sent defalcation, but the inertness of tte establishment ? The reform seems to have proved a aure ; and Par liament should call them to account 'eho thus, through ignorance and incapacity, trifle will our public in stitutions, and, under the foolish plea of economy do inconceivable mischief to the pubic service. For the only notion of reform prevail rig amongst the sapient men who rule at the Treasury, is an apparent saving of money, regardless altogetler of the superior value of power and efficiency. I say En apparent saving, for eventually nothing can be gained under a system which underpays public officers, and often perpetrate such acts of injustice as would entitle a man to the cold shoulder in society. If proof were needed of these principles of mere com mone into th se nsei am e a the reforms,oert present iu t h stat e atmany m and o thethef o n Mint ths amplyomn a e d ; and not pass over without a strict and ligid enquiry being unscrupulouscannot or wr r provides oughtdein s which they have beon effected. Any fool may destroy, but it needs a wise man to ) build-up, and with that proverbial expression, I conclude for the present.—l am, &c., • October 29. OBSERVER. ISLE OF WIGHT RAILWA.Y.—Is IT sg TO BE, OR NOT TO B&" (111031 OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) A railway from Cowes to Newport eoul,d be other two towns similarly distanced is theki con structed probably at a cheaper rate than b e t ween d any The coach road from Newport to Cowes measures ° fi lm y; miles, but a railway would not exceed fo ur - an d- a - ha lf miles if carried, as proposed , by the aid e o f t h e r i ver, and the land through which it would bo carried is almost on a dead level, and consequently no cuttings or em bankments would be required. There areno gentlemen's houses, parks, or plessure-grounds on the line, and very few houses of any description. There is not even a public road requiring a bridge over it. The land on the whole line is of very little value, and termini might be carried to the business parts of Cowes and New port at a trifling expanse. Almost the whole of the land is in the hands of one gentleman, and we have reason to believe that he would rather pro mote than oppose th© undertaking. The traffic would be considerably more on this part than on any other part of the proposed railway. Then why not try thi s part first? The owners of the land between Newport and Ventnor, and Newport and Ryde, are opposed to the introduction of railways. The cost of cuttings be tween those towns is stated to bo another great objec tion; but let there be a rail laid from Cowes to Newport, and very little time would elapse before they would be carried on to Ventnor and Ryde. It is only wonderful that the South-Western Railway Compaq have not before this seen the immense advantage that a railway from Newport to Cowes would be to them, and that the trifle that it would cost to have one has not long since ' induced them to promote its construction. As to its de stroying the beauties of the island, there is not a part of the proposed railway from Cowes to Newport, after leaving either terminus, that would be within half-a . mile of any carriage road!! CHATHAM.—A. report is current at this port that the Orion, 80, and Royal George, 120, will be very shortly converted into screw-slips.—Portsmouth Times. [The sooner the better. A man of war with the screw is worth two with out—as the first gt eat naval action will prove.—En. Sun.] THE PRUSSIAN AUTHORITIES AND TrE DUBLIN EXHIBITION. —We understand that the example .'the French President, and the official heads of the Industrie. and artistic departments of France and Belgium, in promising Mr. Roney their utmost co-operation towards the Great Irish Exhibition of next year, has been most generously followed by the Prussian authorities, and that the contributions from the Zollverein will hardly be inferior in magnitude, variety, or costliness to the famous section under the same head at the World's Fair in 1851. FRIGHTFUL MORTALITY IN IRELAND.—Mr. Dela hunt, coroner for the county of Waterford, stated at the :ast meeting of the hoard of guardians, that he had held, during the past year, thirty inquests on persons who died in the fields from destitution. CONVOCATION AT YORR.--1110 adjourned COHVONI. tion was held in the Chapter-house of York Cathedral yesterday (Friday), at noon. Previous to its assembling, two memorials had been forwarded to his Grace the Archbishop of York, deprecating the meeting of C)n vocation for the dispatch of business at the present time. One was from the Archdesconry of Craven, in the dio cese of Ripon, signed by 182 of the clergy; and the other was from 181 of the clergy of the diocese of York. After the close of the morning service, the Rem C. Hawkins, canon residentiary, the commissioner fox his Grace the Archbishop of York, the President of Coivo cation (who was also represented by the Rev. Canon Dixon, another commissioner). immediately proceeded to the Chapter-house, attended by Mr. J. Backle, the registrar, and Mr. C. A. Thiselton, his Grace's secretory. The Rev. Canon Hawkins presided. The business vas commenced by the registrar reading the Queen's vrit of summons, and afterwards the Archbishop's obmais sion, appointing the Rev. Canon Hawkins his Commis sioner. The Archbishop's appatitor then made the call of parties summoned to a.setable by the Archbishop's mandate. The registrar then made the individual rill according to the mandate, and recorded the presence of parties us they answered thereto. Protests from tie diocese of Durham, from the Dean and Chapter of Dur ham, from the archdeaconry and clergy of Lindisfarne, and from the archdeaconry of Northumberland, were presented, all of which were rejected by the Commis sioner in the following terms:—‘‘ I wholly reject these protestations as frivolous and trifling, and in no way pertinent to th e present b us i ness ." 'rho Convocation was then prorogued until the 17th of May next. THE lIAIINTED HOUSE OF 11uLL.--What the police were unable to do, a number of scientifio and reverend gentlemen have accomplished. The ghost is laid. Up to Saturday night its knockings were as vigorous as ever; but, on that evening, a deputation of gentlemen visited the house, and, ever since, all has been as quiet as possible. 'A7I - o.ll'. NEW QUEEN'S COUNSEL IN IRELAND,—It is generally understood in the liana the Four Courts that the followinz gentlemen are about to be called to the inner bar:—Banc Henry Hamilton, home circuit; Edmond Hayes, LL.D, home eh cuit; William Westropp Brereton, Munster cir cuit; James Robinson, Connaught circuit; R oss s Moore, M.P., for Armagh, north.east circuit; Harniltoa Smythe, home circuit; Patrick J. Blake, Connaught Circuit; Robert Longfield, Munster circuit. RECRUITING IN IRELAND.—The accounts from the country show that very little cars be effected in the way of obtaining recruits for tho army, owing to the effects of emigration and the improved state of employment. Barax. RETURNS.—The returns of the Bank of England for the week ending the 30th elf , when compared with that for the preceding week, exhibits the following changes :—ln the liabilities, an increase of public deposits of 215,5241.; a decrease of other deposits of 868,5011.; an increase of rest of 1,9051.; and an increase of seven-day and other bills of 29,0901. In the assets the return shows an increase of other securities of 116,635/. ; a decrease of reserve of notes of 621,8001.; a decrease of gold and silver coin of 117,687/. ; in the Government securities there is no alteration. The bullion in the issue and banking department together amounted to 21,158,2684 which, as compared with 21,214,315/, the amount of the previous week's return, shows a decrease of 86,047/. The notes in circulation amounted to 9 3,813,0551., which, as compared with 23,160,2151., the amount of the previ ous week's return, shows an increase of 652,850/. RIOT AT KEIGHLEY, YORKSHIRE. The manufac turing town of Keighley, in the West Riding of York shire, has been in a state of great commotion for some days. It appears that on Sunday morning week Daniel Johnson, a gamekeeper in the service of Mr. W. Bus feild Ferrand, of Harden Grange, encountered a gang of poachers in Marlow Wood. He approached them; but he had no sooner done so than a brutal attack was made upon him by the poachers. A reward of 101. was offered for them; and, on Saturday last, three of the men, named Mark Noble, William Hudson, and William Townend, were safely placed in durance. On Tuesday last they were brought before Mr. H. Greenwood, and Mr. J. Greenwood, and Mr. John Brigg, West Riding magistrates, at Keighley, on a charge of aggravated as sault on Daniel Johnson at Marlow, on the morning of Sunday, the 17th ult.; and the result was, that the defendants were held to bail to answer the charge at thu sessions. Thus far the law appears to have been su preme. But as Daniel Johnson was leaving the magis trates' court at Keighley he was surrounded by a motley crowd of persona some of whom are said to be notorious Poachers and abused, hooted , and pelted. The cro wd gathered ' as it proceeded. Sense of the more active among the crowd were armed with heavy bludgeons, and were exceedingly violent in their demeanour. The amemblage grew larger. instead of diminishing, and some of the leaders became more violent. The result was, that one of the magistrates came into the street td read the Riot Act. The crowd relused to disperse. The next step was to dispatch a telegraphic message for the military at Bradford, and at half-past nine o'clock a de tachment of the 21st Regiment, now lying at the bar racks on Bradford Moor, left the Bradford railway sta tion for Keighley. The appearance of the soldiers soon restored order. GERMANY. The Austrian Correspondence announces the open ing of the Customs Conferences at Vienna. It makes no mention of the contents of the document presented, nor of the terms of the speech of Count Buol Schau enstein. The Count congratulated the plenipoten tiaries on the alacrity they had shown in attending the conferences. Count Labrenfeld, Minister for Bavaria, replied to Count Buol. Count de Grunn, aide de camp to the Emperor of Austria, has been replaced by Major General Count i de Koeller. This changes a matter o f some im portance under the present circumstances, as Count de Grunn had great influence with the Emperor, and was much opposed to any arrangement with Prussia on the Customs question. It is said that the dismis sal of the Count is to be attributed to the desire of the Emperor for an arrangement with Prussia. The Cologne G aze tt e s t ates f rom B er li n, t h e 2d inst. :—" The interview which was to take place next year betwee : . th e , Ealperors of Russia and Austria will take place sooner. The. two Sovereigns will meet at Warsaw. The King of Saxony arrived to day from Dresden ; he was received at the railway station by Prince Ad a lb e rt. After breakfasting With the King of Prussia, at the chateau of Sans Souci, his Majesty continued his journey to Schwerin." The Foss Gazette states from Vienna, Ist inst. : "Dr. Heck has this day communicated to the Cus toms Congress the propositions of the Austrian Government. It is probable that the Congress will Confine it s l a b ours to th e exam i n ation of the points on which a n un d ers ta n ding may be come to with Prussia, Hanover, and the other German States. It is only i n th e even t o f a ll a tt e mpts of an agreement failing, that Austria and the allied States will decide on adoptin g the definitive unilateral measures." ITALY. The Piedmtndese Gazette, of the 2d, announces that the King of Sardinia has entrusted Count Cavour w ith the composition of a new Cabinet. The Opinione of Turin, of the 2d, corrects the statement it made the day before, respecting the con ditions pr o p ose d t o th e King of Sardinia by Count Revel, in the event of his accepting office, and states that none of them were anti-constitutional. In the sittin of the 27th ult. of the Royal Court a . t Florence, the examination of the other defendants l t a the case of high treason was proceeded with. Pan accused of having acted as secretary to the Popular club of Siena, of having distinguished himself as an agitator, and co-operated in the pulling down of the grand ducal arms, &c., replied that, in avow ' lag his republican opinions at the time, he committed no crime ; he denied having taken a part in certain Conferences held at Siena by Montanelli with some demagogues, and complained that he had not been able to produce witnesses. The Court having observed that he had been perfectly free to call as many wit nesses as he liked at bis own expense, he replied than such liberty was tantamount to a prohibition, inasmuch as he had no pecuniary means at his ccm mand.—Henry Valtancoli was next examined. He is known as a virulent writer, and is described in the indictment as director and chief editor of the radical Paper Ii Popolano, and accused of exciting rebellion, aiding in establishing the republic, approving of the assassination of Count Rossi, &c. The defendant, after pleading prescription, and declaring that the description given of him was erroneous, seeing that he had never been the responsible editor of the Popolano, objected that he had never co-operated with Nicolini, nor with the Ministers under trial; that, on the Bth February, while the club was assem bled under the portico of L' Ogagna ' to announce to the people the flight of th e G ran d Duke, he (Val tancoli) staid at home ; that he had no confidence in the Ministers of that period ; and that his paper, con sequently, was an opposition paper. He added, that .no had belie ve d Nicolini to be a Government agent, but only because public rumour pointed him out as t 's° ll - After explaining the spirit of seNoral of his articles which had appeared in the Popolano, he admitted that be was present at the meeting of the e lab Which took place in the Teatro Nuove, but denied his having addressed the meeting. Guerrazzi t hen rose and submitted a question to the Court, Which he wished to be addressed to Valtancoli. In answer to this, the latter retracted certain p assa g es of 418 written examinations which related to Guerrazzi, and Which, he said, were dictated by the animosity a " felt against Guerrezzi, who had got him arre sted. (Valtancoli's arrest dates from March, 1849 ) The court then adjourned to the following day. The i n t ern ational company for the Austro-Parmese a nd Modanese Customs line was officially installed at Milan on the 28th ult.

NEW M OVEMENT AT THE BAR —A body of gen ts P eat the B a r h ave d eterm i ne d to commence , our C"day next, a regular rattendance at the Westminst ounty Court, and for the convenience of robing, holding nsultations and having a lib rar y on the spot, have eured a set of chambers in St. Muth:a-court, in the immediate proximity of the Court-house. They intend to hold themselves at liberty upon proper occasions to e xercise th e i r common-law right of direct communication with the client. It is their intention in cases under 201, Where no great difficulty is likely to arise, or much time to be consumed, to act in common with the special pleaders at the Bar, and to mink half-a-guinea on their briefs, if they get any. STRANGE STATEMENT.--The magistrates at Gorey, in the county Wexford, held an investigatiOn of a re markable character indeed. A constable on the estate of Mr. F ors t er, an English merchant, charged Colonel Owen, the agent to that gentleman, with r•ffeting him 501 . to assassinate the former agent. The Colonel in dignantly denied the execrable charge, and the constable is committed for perjury. He firmly adheres to his statement, HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE ASSOCIATION. Much eaten:ion has of late been exeitrd in the social, moneyed, and artistic world, by the epuP Ira,i and ec ,ive progrese of an association supported by dts:inguished names, and undertaking to apply the vast power and facilities of action, kccared by comb:oed capital to en object so generally interesting in these days, 83 the m4intenance, on a soiled, permanent, and remunerative foundation, of a great national operte It is now gene rally known that the announcement of the projtct in question has been followed by the practical result of a rapid subscription of capital, and that the association must therefore be considered to have taken its place among the substential existences of the world. The public will therefore be doubtless anxious to learn on what principles, and through what new and improved regulations of system, it is proposed by the directors of this enterprise at once to meet the great existing de mands of the public taste and convenience, and to secure for the capital invested a safe and permanent return. The following are some of the principal data on which the originators of the plan have relied, and of the ad vantages which they will offer to the shareholders and to the public:—The investment of combined capital in theatrical enterprises, though new (at least in an ex tended form) to this country, has long been tried, and found to answer in Paris. All the theatres of that capital which do not depend on Government aid are the pro perty of associated subscribers. As an instance of the success with which the operation of the system has been attended there, it may be mentioned that the shares of the Palais Royal Theatre, originally sold at 1,000 fs., are now worth 11,000 fre e paying the original holders a dividend of cent. per cent. This extrordinary ecale of return must, of course, vary with local circumT stances ; but, as a general feet, the great advantages in the command of capital secured by combination are evident, and will be found to increase in proportion to the magnitude of the undertaking. Thus—there is, of course, a vast saving of expenditure to be effected by starting with a paid-up capital adequate to meet all current demands at the moment, and to maintai❑ a good reserved fund—repeated experience has shown the extent of loss and sacrifice to which individual projectors have been exposed by the absence of this kind of security, whieb ern really only be supplied by combination. It is also conceived that such increase of economy will be obtained by the financial control of a vigilant working committee, whose agency will, moreover, enable the managing director to devote to his immediate duties of management his whole time and energy, unencumbered by the labour and responsibility of a business discharged with so much more ease and efficiency by a board or committee. One of the most important considerations which it was necessary to determine has keen the nature and degree of the privileges which should be enjoyed by share holders of her Majesty's theatre, in virtue of their pro prietorship. These it is intended to arrange on the following scale:— " A Proprietor of 50 Shares will be entitled to a per sonal entree for all representations; of 100 shares a re served seat in the pit for all representations; of 150 shares, at pit stall for two representations a-week, the particular days being selected by the shareholder in his preliminary notice; and of 200 shares, a pit stall for all representations. " 1. The pit will be divided into separate seats, each seat to be numbered; but apace wilt be retained for general circulation. "2. A proprietor of 50 shares and upwards, may, before the fat of February, preceding each season, transfer his privilege of admission during that season to a nominee; and a proprietor of shares constituting two or more of the above qualifications, may, in like man ner, transfer each privilege to a nominee, who will be entitled to the privilege transferred in lieu of the pro- prietor. " 3. The right of admission to a stall or reserved sea, may be transferred nightly, by voucher from the pro prietor or his nominee ; the transferee paying for each representation half the usual price of admission. "4. The actual holder on the Ist of February in each year of the number of shares specified above, will be the proprietor entitled to the proportionate privileges during the ensuing season. " 5. The intention of the proprietor to avail himself of the above privileges, must be declared before the Ist of February preceding each season. " 6 In tho event of a proprietor not desiring to avail himself of the above privileges, it will be at his option to have an allowance, equal iu the whole to 4 par cent. on his shares, in pay ment or diminution of any subscrip tion, for not less than 15 nights, which he may enter into for a box or otherwise. " 7. To suit the convenience of individual sharehold ers, the committee will have a discretionary power, before the commencement of each season, and by his arrange ment with the shareholder, to substitute for his right of admission daring that season any equivalent rights. " 8. A discretionary power will likewise be vested in the committee to extend such further privileges to the shareholders, in proportion to their shares, as circum stances may bo found to allow; and generally to make such regulations as may appear expedient for the general interests of the proprietory body. " 9. The above privileges are independent of the di vidend received by the proprietor in respect of his shares." It will be noticed that reserved scats in the pit are spoken of as among the privileges of shareholders, and this involves tone of the great improvements and advan tages in the system of admission which it is intended to offer to the public. The pit will be divided throughout into numbered seats, any one of which may be secured for the evening, and reserved; no increase in the price of admission being made in consequence of the advance in comfort and con venience which will thus be effected. The stalls will retain their original position and character. There can be no doubt that such an arrangement will be of the greatest advantage to the frequenters of the Opera—will increase the numbers of the steady habitual audience — and will bring within the reach of many an enjoyment which, between the dread of expense and the fear of crowd and difficulty, they have hitherto denied them selves. Such is a brief account of the plan and intentions of Her Majesty's Theatre Asscciation, as far as they have been at present determined. Many details, of course, remain to be settled, but enough has been done to show that the project will be carried o ut on a liberal and well-considered system, and that it is based on a foundation promising every degree of permanence as a moneyed speculation, as well es extensive and improved provision for the public demand in which it has origina ted—for a systematic, sure, and constant supply of the highest compositions of dramatic talent and musical art. HAYMARKET THEATRE. A Capital Match is the title of an excellent farce, produced on Thursday evening with unqualified success.. Mr. J. W. Morton has contributed this most droll adap tation of a piece at present highly popular in Paris. Mr. Sunnyside, a restless, middle-aged gentlemen, aspires to the hand of Mrs. Singleton, a widow, who, however, de clares that she will not again enter into the bonds of matrimony until her niece Rosamund is married , It is, therefore, the anxiety of the enthusiastic Sunnyside that the young lady in question shail be provided with a hus band as soon es possible, and he scours Gloucestershire feem one end to the other to find her a suitor —but only to meet with disappointment, for Miss Rosamund rejects the whole for ty-six that he picks up for her with equal brevity and peremptoriness. The truth is she has been privately married. This, Sunnyside at length discovers, and restrained only by the threat that the secret husband is a " crack ehot " and a very dangerous man to (lend, be is compelled to contrivance to entra Mrs. Singleton. To describe the embroglio which ensu s would be impossible, for the niece affects to accept n captain in the navy, who is courting the aunt, the captain imposes her on Sunnys.id i e, and perpetual succession of dilemma s ensue, ending n the discomfiture of the little hero, who eventually not only loses the widow, but a municipal appointment, which he has cunningly surrendered to further his projects upon the former. The farce is full of diverting complications, and as each step that Sunny side takes becomes more embarrassing, so the more ludicrous and ridiculous is his position. The part of Sunnyside, a stolid personage, who is played upn by everybody about him, and is in a constant state of ludicrous mystification, is peculiarly suited to Mr. Keeley. His eagerness to get the girl out of the way, and negociate a union with anybody that happens to turn up, and the betauddled state in which ho finds himself at lest, when the mutual relations of the whole of the dramatis persono aro rendered by the supreme cleverness of his intrigues confused and uneer ; tain, are essentially and irresistibly comic. Ile was well supported by Miss Rosa Bennett, Mrs. Leigh Murray, and Mr. Howe. TRIAL BY JUB The fifty-eighth anniv.-- ersary of the acquittals of Thomas Hardy, John Horne Tooke, and John Thelwull, Et,qrs., weß kept last evening at Rad ley's Hotel, Black friars, at which upwards of seventy gentlemen sat down to a really splendid dinner. The chair was occupied by J. 11. Parry, Esq. After grace was sa id, and the ()loth removed, the Chairman proposed the first toast, which had always been given in meetings like the present since the commencement of the society—it was that of " The People, the solo source of legitimate power." (Cheers.) It was a great comfort to them that when almost th e whole of Continental Europe was opposed by a military despotism, they could, though the government of this country was monarchical, give the toast he had the honour to propose. (Cheers.) This toast, together with the usual loyal toasts, and that of " Trial by Jury," Was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. The CHAIRDIAN then gave the toast of the evening. That was (he said) the fifty-eighth anniversary of a very remarkable passage in English history , and whether th at passage in history was written by Mr. Twiss in his life of Lord Eldo n , or Mr. Macaulay, who believed in the in fallibility of Whig principles, it claimed the attention of all parties. In 1794, when the great principles of liberty burst in f s o t r e t a n d fr o o f m en l e 'r o al u n r c a e g , in th g e , i a r n G d ove . rn l ment in this coun try,spirit, combined with the despots and not the least attempt to dothe l3 trial of patriotic men wh g o s s y e s acq i ai w o l f se E y ur c o on e tr t e o ll e in ru g sh th . at it; acquittal they were met to celebrate. 1 so was Ai or c ne n T clusion, "The memory of Thomas Hardy, John individualsooke, John Tlaelwall, and ” associated with them." (Loud cheers.) Th e toast was drunk with honours; after which Mr. LAWRENCE proposed "The Jurymen who tried and the Counsel who defended Horne Tooko and his companions on that memorable occasion," which was disposed of in a similar manner. " The Liberty of the Press," " Civil and Religious Liberty all over the world," and " The health of the Chairmen," were drunk in bumpers. Mr PARRY returned thanks; after which the meeting separated, after spending a most delightful evening. Mr Cassius acted es toast-master, and performed his duties in a most efficient and creditable manner. RAIL WA TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—Elm log for many years t.bnerved the independen t and impartial tone which your paper has always evineel upon matters, whether political or not, and recol lecting the immense amount of information which you furnished at the time when railway projects and property were so constantly before the numerous Committees of both Houses of Parliament a few years ago, I propose, if you will, to lay a few remarks before ,he public, through your columns, on the important subject of Railway Amalgamation which is just now engrossing so much of general attention. The time for doing so is the more appropriate, apart from the reason just assigned; for we are at length or- rived at a definite position in oar railway system. The great body of the country is furnished with the main sunk lines which form the avenues of commerce, and he chief moans of minor social intercourse. The sub- sidiary branches which were necessary to c minact secondary but yet highly important places and districts with the arteries of the country, have, in a vast number of instances, been constructed, and are in daily admirable working order. A network of railways is a term that is no longer an hyperbole in England. A single glance at the map will prove its correctness and astonish us with the amount of the skill and capital that has been expended for its completion, and the magnitude of the advantages which have been enjoyed by - every class of the community _ from its constitution. The benefits derived from railways have been incalcu lable. To say nothing at present of the immensity of those operations which have put 200,000 labourers into constant employment during the last ten years,—thus relieving the poor rate and the labour market to an in calculable extent—which have brought into play an amount of artistic and mechanical skill which was Lever equalled, and which never could have been suspected— which have elicited an amount of business-talent, and a depth, variety, magnitude, and adaptedness of scientific attainment which has so wonderfully advanced the great ' ness and the wealth of the country, and placed her prosperity on the surest and most enduring basis: to say nothing of all this, we have only to look at this grand network of railways, to beer the daily accounts of how time has been almost annihilated, how convenience has been furthered, and how the country has progressed in solid wealth at the present moment, and how its pro gress has been provided for the future, to become in some degree aware of the importance of our great railway system of communication. And yet railways do not pay, or least they do not re turn such dividends as ought to be paid for the immense amount of skill, labour, and attainment as are represented by the investments of the shareholders, and the energy, thought, and power, by which these investments are, or ought to be, turned to account for the benefit of the deposi tors, through the use of whose capital the several lines have been formed. It is generally supposed, so generally in deed that it has become an axiom, that all adventures entered upon by private individuals, however numerous, however wealthy, however combined, are to a certain extent hazardous, decidedly more so than any that ore promulgated by the authority of a state, however tem porary or insecure in character it may be. This notion has prevailed from time immemorial, and with the repu diation of the United States before their eyes, the griev ous malversations of the Mexican bonds, the hollow de ficiency of the Austrian loan, and the miserable short comings of the Spanish and Portuguese Governments, patent to their senses, Englishmen have rather trusted to state credit than to the security proffered by pub lie faith, through the instrumentality and sound organi zation of a number of private individuals. Such being the case, the principle is evidently esta blished that private enterprize ought to reap a higher reward than any that can be obtained from investments in a state fund. All experience is in favour of such a view. Just in proportion to the risk, so ought to be the the risk in railways he but small, it is at any c r oabt gain. a hactas t ten e eepd.rrci a ison ffi tiatg : een r sf f ct m dtotti affirmed that no state countenance secures the divi dends. Yet why should not this be at least virtually the ihogwoneenhrat together selv b eer e e por af n r dt ot o hvrp eua s e ne t r stitt and en e agsdre a me u hhoo t oo h frnl e o dop r tuea i hrr t r y asat , nyb t tl c o heooemr t ur h neep r tno o i es, i w riwvta i countervail, ioal s i esi m eabsyc a t h n i sat the char , r e . pupil lage, and standing on the groundwork of their own merits, ought to be able to put forth the hand to pluck the fruit of that perseverance and wisdom by which its maturity has been at length completed. But it is not so. In innumerable instances the share holders are unable to taste that for which they have wrought. It is not because they are too small in their number, for numerically they are of more importance than the creditors of the national debt itself. The amount of property which they hold now reaches to more than 300,000,0001. sterling, an amount that has never been subscribed by private enterprize before since the world began. Looking at the matter, in its relative as well as its direct bearings, it would appear that it becomes of national con cern. It may not indeed be too much to assert that there is hardly a town or a hamlet in the kingdom in which there is not some one immediately interested in our rail way system. Being of the nature of freehold property—for though the shares are mere personality, the basis of their value is unquestionably freehold—a lower rate of return has been put up with than would under any other circum stances have been endured. Bat yet, though of freehold nature, it is not more so than is funded pro perty, but partakes of its character—the only difference being that the whole property of the state is pledged to reimburse and secure the fundbolder, while the share holder has only his own line and the security of his fel low-shareholders to fall back upon. He ought, therefore, to receive the greater reward, especially as he has not only to rest upon the security of the property, but also upon the good faith of those with whom he acts, and with whom, it should be remembered, ho is a partner , and upon whose credit, to a certain extent at least, its value depends. But, Sir, I must remember that your space is valuable, I will, therefore, conclude for to-day; and, in my next, show how this immense mass of property has been affected by its past management, and how it is likely to be affected, and how the public is likely to be affected by the proposed fusion of interests among several of the great companies now in progress, and who, in their constituents, comprise nearly the whole of the moneyed population of the country, remaining, Sir, your very obedient servant, BEra ALLEGED DEATH FROM HOMEOPATHY TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—On Thursday last, a report headed "Death from Homceppathy—Arrest of Professor Jones," appeared in the columns of The Sun. This report, with that portion of the public unacquainted with benefits conferred on the human race, would tend to injure that valuable aye tern, and the character of such men as the talented and distinguished Dr. Epps, Dr. Curie, and others. The facts of the case are these :—On the 12th of October I was called in to see a Mrs. Margaret Sedgwick, of 6, Kingston Russel-place, Camden-town. On entering her room she informed me that she was suffering from an attack of biliousness of four days' standing, but on exa mining her, I found that she was suffering from infism mation of the lungs, particularly of the right one, evi dently of some days' standing. Iler bowels had been opened freely on the 10th by medicine. I immediately informed her friends of the nature of her malady—its liability to a fatal termination, the four days' neglect having added much to its gravity—and expressed a strong wish to meet Dr. Epp in consultation, one of the first authorities in hommapathy. In the report it is stated that the inquest waa held at the request of Mr. Sedgwick ; but this he distinctly denies, and states that it was at the wish of Mr. IllacLaren. The charge brought against me then is, that I neglected to open the person's bowels, and upon this slight foundation en at tempt is made to trump up a charge of manslaughter. Mr. MacLaren, on seeing the patient, immediately charged me with having neglected to open the bowels, forgetting that they had been opened freely on the 10th by medicine taken of the patient's own accord, and once naturally during the week; and so confident was he that this was the cause of death, that he states in the certifi cate that " she died from neglect on the part of the homanpathic practitioner to open her bowels." It is very evident that Mr. MacLaren is quite ignorant of the advances made by Piorry during the last few years, otherwise ho must have known that no accumula• tion in the bowes could exist without being detected. In his evidence he states that five clysters were exhibited, and that they came away in the same state as they were given, and that purgatives were also given by the mouth. On surprise being expressed by the friends at this, " Oh!" he exclaims, " the accumulation e xists hi g her u p , and out of reach of the fluid injected." Had any accu mulation in the bowels existed, would it have escaped the notice of Drs. Epps, Curie, and Jones ? Certainly not. They knew that it did not exist, and that there were no purgatives or evacuants called for. The after-death examination bears out the opinion expressed by these three gentlemen. Mr. MacLaren, in his evidence, is obliged unwillingly to confess that there was no accu mulation in the bowels. Another medical man present at the examination also establishes this fact. The Coroner, on finding that death did not take place from the cause named in the certificate, immediately said, " I suppose, Mr. MacLaren. you mean to say that she died from the general nullity of treatment." In the coarse of the examination, the Coroner twice remarked that Dr. Jones's evidence was highly necessary, as be alone could speak as to the state of the person previous to her coming under Mr. MacLaren's care. To this Dr. Jones replied that, as a medical witness, he should be very happy to give his evidence, but to this he ob jected. Dr. Jones then requested permission to be al lowed to put some questions to the medical witnesses. To this he readily consented; but as soon as the evidence of the medical men was taken, then he began to make some remarks almost foreign to the subject, and ended by calling on the jury to sum up. On hearing this, Dr. Jones felt indignant, as every person would have done, on being so duped, and in the heat of the moment said that he had broken his word, and had not behaved as a gentleman or a professional man, and that he sat there as an unbiassed person to administer justice. This he had not done by his remarks to the jury, in terming the system a folly and a delusion. I was then ordered into the custody of the summoning officer, in whose char g e I remained until the jury bad returned th e ir verdict of " Died from inflammation of the lunge," when, on stat ing that I had no intention of insulting the Court, I was discharged, but nevertheless repeated the same words as I had before said.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, DAVID GEIFFITIIS JONES, ALD.
