Order of any Newsman. THE SUGAR QUESTION. (From the Times.) The time is come when the discussion of the last great question of commercial reform must bring the whole question of the slave trade once more before the country. It is at least as essential that the policy of the Govern ment on this momentous subject should be established on enlightened and practical principles, as that the exact amount of duty to be paid on some thousand hogsheads of foreign sugar should be equitably determined. Those evil days are happily long since past when the slave trade itself was debated as a British question, and its horrors palliated by supposed British interests. As far as the mercantile pursuits and the colonial system of this empire are concerned, the slave trade and slavery itself are eradicated ; and England has embarked too deeply in the great experiment of emancipating the negro race, and of inculcating the lesson of free labour in her colonies, to abate her efforts in this cause. But in the long course of measures with reference to this object which have been demanded by the people and adopted by the Government of this country, a mass of experience has been acquired, to which we must allow its full weight if we intend to avoid a complete and dis astrous failure. The generous suggestions of humanity, the sacrifices and exertions of half a century, will have taught us little indeed, if they have not taught us to avoid some acknowledged errors, and to reject some in controvertible delusions. At the present time, there fore, if it be our duty to maintain with unabated force our hostility to the slave trade, it is no less our duty to select means of repressing it which experience has not proved to he ineffectual and dangerous. Nothing is to be gained by a passionate contention for expedients which have already failed ; and it is far more conducive to the real suppression of the slave trade, and to the general interests of humanity, to acknowledge error* of this kind than to persist in them. This feeling has of late years extorted from several of the most power ful and virtuous opponents of the slave trade an ac knowledgement which could not have been made with out pain by men who had devoted the best years of their lives to this cause. Nothiug but a misjudging fana ticism can' attempt to withhold or to invalidate these declarations or the facts on which they rest. No pious fraud will put down the slave trade ; and it is of much less importance to form a correct estimate of the zeal which has inspired our efforts than to ascertain what positive results have followed them. In spite, then, of all that has been done by this country and by France and the United States, each of which has effectually put an end to slave trade in its own territories, or under its own flag, we are met at the outset of this inquiry by the appalling fact that the number of slaves exported from Africa has doubled within the last thirty year*, and that it never was carried on with greater activity than at the present moment, or with equal barbarity. The papers annually laid before Parliament furnish most abundant evidence of this deplorable truth; and of late years the men who have been most strenuous in the cause have not hesitated to avow their conviction on this point. The book published in 1840 by the into Sir Fo well Buxton will be fresh in the memory of our readers; that zealous abolitionist had learned from ex perience that the moral impossibility of compelling foreign Powers to observe the stipulations of their own treaties with us, and the physical impossibility of pre venting a contraband trade in negroes on the African coast, defied our diplomacy and our navy, and pointed out the necessity of using other means of repression. Several members of the present Government have, on various occasions, both in and out of office, avowed similar convictions. In Lord John Russell's letter to the Treasury of the 26th December, 1839, after stating his belief that more than 100,000 sieves are annually imported from Africa into foreign states or colonies in America and the West Indies, and that this illegal traffic is stimulated by tenfold profits and protected by insurances, his Lordship (who was then Colonial Secre tary) adds, " under these circumstances, to repress the ,foreign slave trade by a marine guard would scarcely be possible it the whole British navy could be employed for that purpose. It is an evil which can never be adequately encountered by any system of mere prohibi tion and penalties." Upon the production of the last instructions to cruisers on the coast of Africa, Lord Clarendon stated, in the House of Lords, that he had arrived at a similar opinion as to the inefficacy of the preventive force; and when Lord Palmerston insisted, in the House of Commons, upon the necessity of main taining the Right of Search Conventions with France, Lord Grey demonstrated the fallacious character of our cruising system, and the great objections and abuses to which it is unavoidably exposed. The new treaty with France having only been in full operation on the coast of Africa since the Gth of March of the present year, we have no means of judging of its results, though we entertain no dostbr 'hat from the increase of force, the introduction of; teamers, and the improved system of co-operation now existing between the British. French, and American squadrons, the blockade is far more effectual than it has ever been before; and Lord Palmerston had no right to assert, as he did the other night, that if his instructions had been adhered to for two years more, the slave trade would have ceased on the coast of Africa. His own colleagues have distinctly admitted that the system he had constructed with so much indus try, and which he managed with so little regard for the independence of foreign nations, was a total failure. Another system is now upon trial, less vexatious to com mercial interests and more formidable to the slave dea ler. The cruisers have been doubled, and treaties for the abolition of the slave trade have been ratified by the mark of the unlettered potentates who have heretofore trafficee in the bodies of their subjects along the Bight of Benin. From April, 1844, to July 1845, no less than seventy-five vessels with slaves on board, or equipped for the slave trade, were detai ne d or d estroye d by th e B r i t i s h cruisers—a larger number, wo believe, than were ever before captured within the same time. But we must confess our scepticism as to the ultimate success of the system, and our conviction that it is not in the African seas but on the soil of America that the slave trade can alone be abolished. At the present time the system of mutual insurance in Brazil is so perfect, and the prices of slaves sohigh, that w e are informed by the last report of the Commissioners at Rio that the capture of four vessels would not subject the slave traders to loss, pro vided the fifth succeeded in landing slaves in Brazil. If, therefore, tee apprehensions which have been powerfully expressed by the authors of a protest against the admis sion of slave grown sugar were justified by the result of that measure, and if itwerecertain that this new premium on the slave trade would increase the actual amount of that abominable traffic, we should regard any additional preventive measures of a maritime nature as a mere at tempt to impose upon the public by an expensive, dange rous and inoperative illusion. But it becomes us to inquire whether these apprehensions are not imaginary and exaggerated, and whether any portion of the guilt of encouraging the slave trade can attach to those who propose the admission of slave-grown sugar to our markets. Our anti-slave-trade measures have of late years been of two kinds—first, a preventive service on the coast of Africa ; and, secondly, the prohibition of slave-grown produce, whereby the slave-trading states were placed under disadvantages in the English market. It is now proved that the last of these measures is as ineffectual as the first, for we have not been able to in duce the Brazilians to adopt more rigorous restrictions on the trade ; they have found compensation else where for the injury done to their commercial rela tions with ourselves, and the slave trade has gone on with just as much activity as before. The experiment of the prohibition of slave-grown sugar has therefore failed upon trial even more completely than the expe riment of the cruisers, and for very obvious reasons : the markets of the rest of the civilised world re main open to the sugar which we reject, and we our selves do not reject any of the other commodities, such as cotton, coffee, tobacco, copper, bullion, &c., produced in Brasil , Cuba, and the United St a t es by slave-labour. Not only has this experiment failed, but we doubt whe ther it has produced any perceptible effect whatever, or even checked the evil it was intended to counteract. The actual amount of the profits of the slave trade is so great, the price of negroes in the slave-trading countries so high, and the export of negroes from Africa so large, that we question w hether it could be materially in creased even if the trade were not restricted. The Eng lish sugar market has not been needed to induce the planter of Cuba to extend the cultivation of the sugar cane by every possible means, and to enable the slave trader of Rio Janeiro to clear 200 per', cent. on his infamous cargoes. Where the direct causes which induce men to brave the infamy of the slave trade and the increasing perils of a slave population are so strong, and where the direct opposition of our cruisers is so iii operative, we confess that the mere indirect check of ex cluding one slave-grown commodity from one market appears to us unworthy of consideration, and wholly powerless. There is no medium i _ between absolute com mercial non- intercourse w th slave countries as a matter ifiirreAtTsetihrerestie'rtri as we confidently anticipate, of principle, and desisting from the attempt toforceforeign states into the adoption of our views. The true value of powers the .s e e. at o n dw the h n e security its e b u e r h i w Iti The elt now ascertained •to • is these attempts is n insist on them is only to aggravate our failure.

The Select Committee appointed to consider such plans as shall be laid before them for the application of the Sewage of the Metropolis to Agricultural Purposes, and to report their opinion to the House; to AL hom the Metropolitan Sewage Manure Company Bill and the Reports of the Commissioners, and all Petitions on the subject of the said Bill, were referred; and who were empowered to Report the Minutes of Evidence taken before them to the House; hive coris'dered the matters to them referred, and agreed to the following Report:— Your Committee having directed their attention to the several documents referred to them by your Honourable House ; they have considered the scheme proposed by the Metropolitan Sewage Manure Company for carry ing away the refuse of the Rinelagh and King's Scholars' Pond Sewers, and rendering it available for agricultural purposes ; they have examined the objections made to that scheme upon public grounds in the several petitions referred to them ; they have entered so far into the merits of the competing projects as to enable them to decide, whether on their account, and for their sake, the Bill of the established company now standing for a se cond reading, should be rejected or postponed; and after examining witnesses on the subjects connected witn their inquiry, they have agreed to the following report:— With regard to Mr. Wicksted, who proposes to earry off the entire sewage of London in a tunnel of from 8 to 12 feet in diameter, and at a depth of from 40 to 80 feet under the level of the streets of London, they believe that the first experiment of dealing with sewage water had better be tried upon a smaller scale, upon one or two sewers only, and at a less formidable expense. It ap pears, moreover, from the evidence of Mr. Wicksted himself, that the temporary concession of the two out lying sewers in question to other parties would rather facilitate than impede the ultimate development of his scheme. Your Committee, therefore, are not disposed to re commend the postponement or rejection of the present Bill for the sake of Mr. Wicksted's plan. Neither would they be influenced to adopt this course by the considera tion of Mr. Higgs' project. Mr. Higgs proposes to construct, at the mouth of a sewer, or in some convenient spot to which the water of the cower might be made to flow, three tanks ; each of which tanks is to be of sufficient dimensions to contain the maximum amount of sewage brought down in the space of twelve hours. The precautions with which he proposes to deal with the sewage so accumulated, would probably preclude the possibility of any deleterious or offensive consequences, but the public mind is not at present prepared to risk the establishment of any such reservoirs, and no company has as yet been formed to carry his scheme into execution. Having thus discarded the objections which might possibly be urged against the Bill, on the ground of its interference with a preferable competing measure, your Committee turn to those which have been either urged in the petitions referred to them, or elicited in the examination of witnesses. The main ground of complaint advanced by the owners or occupiers of neigbouring lands and houses is that power has been taken in the Bill to construct reservoirs or tanks for the reception of stagnant and offensive sewage water. This power has now been unreservedly relin quished by the promoters. No reservoir, tank, or catch-pond can be constructed by the company under the proposed Act. The sewage will be conveyed in a co vered shaft from the main sewer into the well, from which an engine will pump it into iron pipes. This process will be carried on in a closed building, and any foetid ex halations from the liquid during the short period it re mains exposed to the atmosphere, will be conveyed into the furnace of the steam-engine. Any silt deposited in the well by the running water will likewise be removed from the well within this covered building, and precau tions may easily be taken for washing, and ultimately disinfecting it, before it is carried out. The practise at present is to shovel it by hand labour from the bed of the open sewer upon the bank, where it lies until it is purchased by the builders to make up into mortar. The witnesses generally concur in stating that no other solid matter will be deposited by the running water of the drain. At any rate, the quantity will be so small as to be easily disposed of, without annoyance to the neigh bourhood. The station-house will not, therefore, be a cause of nuisance, and the liquid will be removed in a far less offensive state than that in which it is now found, when backed in the open sewer by the high tide, and stagnating for hours together in the immediate vicinity of an inhabited district, to be afterwards poured forth at low tide into the open bed of the river. The only danger or inconvenience, therefore, which can accrue to the inhabitants is from the breakage of pipes, or from the ultimate distribution of the sewage water upon the land. Your Committee are convinced that sewage water is neither corrosive in its nature, nor liable to generate ex plosive gases. It may, therefore, be as safely conveyed in iron pipes as the w a te r o f th e Thames now is by the several water companies ; and the general testimony of witnesses, both favourable and unfavourable to the scheme, leads your Committee to believe that when pipes are laid down in a hard solid road fractures are of rare occurrence. With the exception of the new ground be tween the station-house of the company and Belgrave !kquare, the proposed line is entirely of that character. With the view, therefore, of avoiding all new ground in public thoroughfares, your Committee recommend, that instead of pursuing the route proposed in the Bill, the pipes should be carried from the mouths of the sewers along the bank of the Thames to or beyond Battersea bridge, from whence they may strike off into the coun try, without exposing the more thickly inhabited part of the town to the unnecessary annoyance of having their roadways broken up. With regard to the application of the metropolitan sewage water to the land, your Committee are satisfied that it is diluted to so great an extent that its applica• tion to the land will he less offensive than that of manure in its solid state. Having thus eisposed of all serious objections to the proposal of the Metropolitan Sewage Manure Company, your Committee cannot conclude their report without urging upon the House the importance of a project which proposes at all times to carry away the drainage at the level of low tides, and to remove from the Thames the daily increasing refuse of London. It is true that this measure has lost something of its efficiency, in con sequence of the abandonment of the reservoirs. The result of this concession is, that no more sewage can be drawn at any time from the drains than can be disposed of at the moment to the agricul turist ; but even this comparatively imperfect measure will try a great experiment, and if the confident expecta tions of your Committee are accomplished, it will not fail ultimately to realise all the advantages which were originally contemplated. Mr. Dickenson has proved the efficiency of liquid manures. The meadows of Edinburgh and of Mansfield have shown the power of sewage water. Mr. Thompson, of Clitheroe, and Mr. Harvey, of Glasgow, have established the fact that liquid manure may be applied at a cheap rate, by means of the mechanical contrivance of service-pipes and hoses, to crops in every stage of their growth. There will be found individuals, no doubt, in this country, of enterprise, to give further development to each of these experiments ; but it is only through the agency of a company that they may be all combined, and applied to the important purposes of cleansing our towns, purifying our rivers, and enriching our soil. It is under these impressions that your Committee recommend the proposed Bill, with the following modi fications and provisions, to the favourable consideration of your Honourable House:- Ist. That a line should be adopted for the main pipe along the bank or bed of the river, to or beyond Batter sea-bridge, instead of the proposei line. 2d. That the State should reserve to itself the power of resuming its entire property in the sewage, after a certain period, upon conditions to be specified in the Bill. 3d. That the power now specially reserved to the Co mmissioners of Sewers, should be extended to any autho rity which may hereafter be entrusted with the manage ment of the sewers. 4th. That clauses be introduced into the Bill providing for the security of the public against any accidents arising from breaking or leakage of the pipes. sth. That nothing contained in the Act shall exempt the company from liability to the present legal remedies against nuisances. 6th. That nothing contained in the Bill shall exempt the company from the supervision and control of any authority which shall hereafter be established for such purposes. 13th July 1846. PROPOSED EXHIBITION OF lIAYDON'S PICTURES. PO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The recent death of Mr. B. R. Haydon, the painter, under the melancholy circumstances of embarrassment and suicide, hastened, doubtless, by a keen sense of his neglected merit, and the opposition of t he "Royal Academicians," who have at last, although too late, appreciated his talents by forwarding for the benefit of his family a " gift" of money, be doing which they acknowledge their own sense of in justice to the deceased—demands the consideration of the humane to his family. As the late Mr. Haydon died so unfortunately, it would now be good for a plan to be adopted, by which bis bereaved family would reap some as • sistance by the exhibition of his paintings. It is suggested to the Committee by this medium, that if the Lord Mayor would condescend to allow the use of the Guildhall of the city of London, to show the paintings en masse gratuitously, and the Committee for managing the subscription would get some considerable quantity of the likeness of the late artist, and a person or two appointed to sell them at a small consideration, I have no doubt money might be gathered by such means. I beg leave, at all events, to request the Committee to make a continued exhibition of the pictures in all places ob tainable, and thereby realise something for the widow and family of a singular and eccentric man of genius, de stroyed by influences that prevail in high places. I shall be obliged by your insertion of the above, if you think it proper to appear, and remain, Sir, your obedient servant, A CONSTANT READER. Marylebono-street, Piceadilly,'July 20, 1846.

ARMY TEACHING AND ARMY FLOGGING. (From Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper.) The Government is about to raise the character of the soldier to a high moral standard; it will teach him his true dignity, as an immortal being; in the meanwhile, it will flog him like a beast. Certain Government advertisements have lately gemmed the papers—advertisements offering fair re wards to schoolmasters, fitted and accomplished for the task of teaching military scholars. The friends of edu cation were gladdened by the evidence of newly awakened liberality on the part of the Government ; for the stipends offered to military schoolmasters were in many cases far above valet's or butler's wages. It was more than pleasant to discover that the true dignity and importance of the schoolmaster were about to be acknowledged by the State. Men who trained minds were to be rated somewhat above men who trained horses. The army—that melancholy mass of ignorance, taken in the mass—was to be refined, elevated. We were no longer to behold in so many red-coated bipeds, in columns or hollow square, so much mere brute power—moved and swayed, and put into attitude, and bid to march and halt, and bite cartridge ends, and draw the mortal trigger at command ; with no more in dividual will, no more self-accountability, than a machine. The soldier might say to Perkins's steam gun, ." Thou art my brother," for the creature of human affections and the thing of the foundry were equally moral agents—were equally supposed to think of the bloody work allotted to them. But this mortal darkness —so thought the jocund readers of the State advertise meats for military teachers—was to pass away. The soldier was henceforth to be cultivated. His reason was to be enlarged and purified ; his affections softened ; his entire moral being elevated that he might make the nobler hero. That he may no longer blindly, ignorantly, do the behest of his superiors—firing and bayoneting, according to orders, with not a thought of the deaths he dealt ; of the streams of blood he loosed from living bosoms—it has been proposed to educate him ;to culti vate his moral sense to take a proper pride in his busi ness. Mr. Carlyle in his " Cromwell,' avers that every soldier ought "to think himself' God's soldier, killing God's enemies ;" and to possess red-coated enthusiasts with this most amiable delusion is probably the high purpose of those who call aloud to the country for mili tary schoolmasters. It has, however, been objected that as we educate the soldier as a thinking, contemplative being, so shall we risk the enfeeblement or loss of those elements that now create armies, The very cruelty and remorselessness of war, it has been urged, demands the coarsest agents. " We do not make revolutions with rose water," said the Frenchman. Battles are not to be fought by squares and squadrons of scholars and philosophers. Teach the soldier to think, and think rightly, and what will his thoughts tend to as he treads his monotonous sentry pace ? May not some mischievous spirit—all rebellious to the might and glory of the Horse Guards—prompt the tool-sentinel, the man-engine, to take himself to bits ? to sit in calm judgment upon the true beauty of his uniform, his cuffs and facings ? To question the ennobling utility of that iron tube, that hard, dead piece of walnut, hugged in his arm until, by use, it has almost become incorporated with the man ?—a part of him; a very limb? May not this book taught, pedagogue-lectured sentinel, be apt to analyse the real worth of pipe-clay—and so, be tempted to re nounce it A fear of this has arisen in the minds of men, otherwise greatly pleased at the prospect of be holding in future fighting battalions, highly cultivated beings ; elevated, polished doers of the grim behests of bloody war. be at ease, gentlemen. The Government will erauleaft ; after its own wise fashion ; after its own saga cious alternation. If the hero be educated, he shall still he flogged. Arithmetics and primers, and books of re ligion and morality shall be familiar to the soldier as the roll call, and so shall the cat. Though school-rooms be furnished the halberds shall continue. The Govern inept, wisely inconsistent, will reserve to itself the cat-o'- nine tails, lest education and philosophy should over refine its martial students. Our paper contains an account of the last refractory scholar, remonstrated with by the drummer. The s,3dier is dead ; and as the case is still before the Coroner, we shall return to it. The dead man com mitted a grave offence, he violently struck his sergeant. Nevertheless, he should have been otherwise punished. The infliction of the lash upon a human being degrades not him alone who suffers, but shocks and disgusts—or failing to do so, the mischief is still worse—all who behold it. Imprisonment, forced labour, compelled soli tude, may be visited upon evildoers ; for each degree of punishment may carry with it moral correction. But the first lash lowers man to the beast, and his spirit is degraded or broken for ever. And so the British soldier is to be carefully educated, and duly flogged. We are to engage schoolmasters for the army ; we are to teach the military morals and philosophy ; hut, as at the dames' schools, the urchins are kept in awe by the exhibited rod, so in our acade mies for heroes, the educated, elevated warricrs, are not to shut their eyes to the cat. GALLANTRY.—On Friday afternoon last, as a party of equestrians were riding near the Serpentine river in Hyde Park, the screams of a female were heard, and upon looking round the Hon. Augustus Berkeley saw a person in the water struggling and sinking. The gallant captain immediately alighted from his horse, and plunged into the river, and atter some exertion succeeded in rescuing the female from a watery grave. He immediately conveyed her almost lifeless form to the station-house of the Humane Society,where every atten tion was paid to her, and she was in due tme restored to life. We hear that poverty drove the unfortunate creature to the dreadful act. .._ . ...._ . . c• --. . . . . . . --- • , . , i- - , • . --- e - .....,):_z_. - - - ~_, ~: . /"..v .•.. ---Z.,•-- 1 / -- ;.h-•-A- - --e_.•--Z •l- - - -.. • • . 7 . ..

He is son and heir of Harli Dokan Oku, the most renewed warrior of the Caucasus, whom Mr. Bell styled " the Washington of Circassia," and who died two years ago. Ali Osman Oku is proceeding to Constantinople, intending to go on ro Adrinople, with a view, in the name of many Circassian chiefs, of inducing Sefir Beg, one of the three great chiefs cf Circassia, to return to his country. The other two princes, Selim Beg and Pschimet Beg, have lost all their influence in the mountains, being supposed to hare been bought over by Russia. They behaved with pusillanimity, taking no part in the meet ings, except to exhort the mountaineers to lay down their arms and cease all attacks against the Russian forts on the Black Sea. But the name of Sefir Beg is still extremely popular in the mountains, and the general opinion is, that he alone is capable of putting an end to the differences which now exist in Circassia, uniting under his order a number of tribes, and sustaining in the Western Caucasus as glorious a part as Schamyl has played with so much glory in Dagestan, and in the whole of the eastern portion of the Caucasus. Sefir Beg has not visited his country for ten years. He then went to Constantinople to solicit the assistance of the Porte in favour of Circassia. He was lured with vain promises, and finally the Porte was weak enough to yield to the influence of M. Boutenieff, who had imperatively de manded the removal of the Circassian Prince, and t order him to repair to Adrinople. Here Sefir Beg leads a retired life, having lost all hope of the future destiny of his country, and passes his time in prayer in the mosques. He, however, from time to time writes to his countrymen, exhorting them to persist in their hostility to Russia, and to prefer death to a base submission. But all steps taken by his countrymen, and their solicita tions to induce him to return to his country, have been in vain, his answer being that he would not return but when the Porte gave him assistance. Sefir Beg is a descendant of the oldest and most powerful princely family in Circassia. We have not had any direct news from Tiflis and the Eastern Caucasus for two months, but by the passengers arrived from Batum, we learn that the late appearance of Schamyl in the plains of Cabardia, had produced an immense impression among all the mountain tribes of the west. Notwithstanding the jealousy and natural antipathy of the various populations who do not speak the sane language, the voice of the prophet Schttroyl had not failed to produce its effect in Ca bardia, and numerous tribes of the plain had taken up arms for him. The numerical superiority of the Russian army, which amounts to 60,000 men, on the borders of the Terek, has compelled Schamyl to retire into the mountains, not having the means to contend in the plain with advantage against the combined Russian compact infantry and cannon, but many of the Cabardian tribes have followed him into the interior of the great Tschetschuya, leaving behind them their villages to be destroyed by the Cossacks, and only carrying away with them their arms. These tribes have considerably increased Schamyl's army, whieh already consisted of 20,000 men, when be crossed the Terek. Al though the bold plan of this renowned chief did not wholly succeed, his intrepidity is, however, to be admired. He had spread alarm even to the walls of Tekaderinadad, the capital of the Tscbernomerian Cos sacks. At no time had a Tschetschentsian chief ven tured to undertake so long and bold a march through a triple line of Russian fortresses. So great was the con sternation among the Russians, that General Luders did not think himself safe at Stauropol, the head quarters of the . Russian army of op erat i ons , w hi c h h e h ast il y l e f t, . marching in the direction of the fortresses on the bor dsis of the Kuban NI; HO ILLED THE CORN-LAWS? (From the Bristol .3fercury.). Now that the corn -law is fairly knocked on the head, un inquest is being held for the purpose of ascertaining w!,O had the merit of putting an end to its existence. Th, evidence is very contradictory. A large portion of the public attribute its decease to Sir Robert Peel, and the protectionists swear " alone he did it !" but Sir II be . rt, denies " the soft impeachment," and says Richard Cobden was the man. Richard Cobden acknowledges that he had something to do with the matter, but that the catastrophe was greatly owing to the exertions of Sir R. Peel, Lord John Russell, Col. Thompson, Mr. Villier;, and various other labourers in the closet and on the platform. The Examiner thinks that those who worked for the Reform Bill—who swept away the rotten boroughs, and so brought the Cobdens, &c.. into Parlia ment, and gave additional force to the voice of the con stituencies, contributed their fair quota to the result; and Tait puts in a claim on behalf of Ebenezer Elliott, the "Anti-Corn-law Rhymer." Adam Smith, too, and various other mighty pioneers, cannot be set aside as having done nothing, simply because others have for gotten, or are ignorant of, what they have done. Honour to all workers !—but we cannot help think ing that our modern great authorities, in complimenting each other, rather lose sight of a power that had, after all, something to do in killing the corn-law, to +it —THE PuEss. The newspaper press, for the most part, was strongly opposed to the corn monopoly, and laboured early and late before leagues were started or ministers converted. The press it was that worked in independent co-operation with the League organisation, and that gave it name, fame, and efciency. Nothing could be more admirable than the conduct of that organisation, hut without the press, 'lnstead of " a great" the League would have been a little " fact," and the corn-laws yet unrepealed. In short, a past amount of power was brought to bear agtinst the corn-laws from different quarters ; and the nearness of the result shows how little of it could have been spared. Substract any one of the principal agents —Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell (who brought e ; statute over his party), Richard Cobden, Col. Th om p son, t h e l T aw o s somewo uld ho not nouris have pre-eminently been yet u League, or the Press, and who will venture to affirm on d the tiit the c but. there have been many hu m bl e b ut earnest workers, w:;ose individual labours have in no s li g h t d egree con - book, n tr:l4uted to the great result. Nor should we forget divers very efficient workers of another class. Is it to be supposed that Mr. Wm. Miles, with his grease and tarred-butter orations, and unaffected horror of abundance; that Sir Edward Knatchbull, with his claim for " protection" on the score of Kentish pip pins and marriage jointures; that Lord Stanley, with his prepostero"s Tamboft blunders; that the Duke of Richmond, with his ingenious admissions about salmon; that Colonel Sibthorp, by his brilliant sallies;—is it to be supposed, we say, that these men did nothing towards the downfall of monopoly ? Certainly they did. A speech from a Miles or a Tyrrell in favour of " protect tion" was only less destructive than a speech from Cobden or Villiers against it. Most ungrateful would it be, when we take into account the causes which led to the downfall of the corn-laws, to forget the speeches of the Protectionists. We are afraid, however, that these latter gentlemen N ill modestly decline being identified with the death of monopoly. Well, every man to his taste. The work is done, and well done ; and those who did it are not likely to quarrel amongst themselves for the sake of appropriating the " lion's share" of the credit. Posterity will settle that matter. without fear, favour, or partiality. ARMAMENT FOR STEAM-VESSELS, &C.—The follow. ing armaments for steam-vessels, &c., fitting at the various ports, have been ordered to be prepared :—The Amphioia steam-frigate, fitting at Woolwich forecastle, one 56- pounder gun, 87 cwt., 10 feet, on a pivot-slide and carriage ; quarter-deck, one 56-pounder, 87 cwt., 10 feet, on pivot slide and carriage; and eight 32-pounders of 25 cwt., 6 feet, on compressor carriages and slides; main -deck, six 8-inch guns, 65 cwt., 9 feet, and 14 32-pounders of 50 cwt. 9 feet 6 inches, on common carriages.

NECESSITY FOR FIRE-PROOF ENTRANCES TO BIILLD INGS.—The value of that clause in the New Building Act, which provides that the stairs and landings of public build ings, and the floors of their halls, vestibules, and passages shall be fire-proof, is brought forcibly to the mind by the se count of the recent dreadful loss of life through the burning of the Theatre Royal in Quebec. It is not quite clear (in the: accounts) whether or not the staircase, to which all rushed in 1113 awful confusion of the moment, gave way, tho - agh this seems to be the impression of one who was an eye-witness of the occurrence; but one feels, when reflecting on Finch an event, the immense importance of safe means of egress from buildings where large numbers of persons congregate, and the even greater importance of having it understood publicly that there are such means, as this knowledge, giving confi dence, would lessen the ill-considered rush to escape, through which, under such circumstances, life is usually sacrificed.— The Bulkier. Some months since the German journals stated that young Hungarian gentleman, named Stanislas de B—, who was in great poverty, had discovered among the archives of his family a great number of secret documents of the high est importance concerning the House of Orleans, which he had sent to the King of the French, and that his Majesty, with the Princes, his sons, in order to recompense M. de B— for this important service, had taken him under their protection—had granted him an annuity for his life--and had presented him with large sums of money, and several articles of great value. As this account was not contradicted. and as the gentleman in question wore the insignia of the Legion of Honour, and appeared to live in great luxury, every one believed in his rapid fortune, and he was every where received as a protege of the Royal Family of France. This illusion has, however, by a singular chance, been just dispelled. Being in a coffee-Louse at Vienna, dressed as an Hungarian noble, he was showing to several young men of his acquaintance a magnificent Turkish sabre, which he boasted of having received as a present from the Prince de Joinville. While his friends were passing it from one to the other, and ad:niring the exquisite workmanship of the weapon, an elderly man suddenly stepped forward, seize the weapon, and declared that the sabre had been manu factured in his worhshops at Presbourg, (Hungary), where he was established as an armourer ; that he had sold it to a young Hungarian named lilullentz, who had left the town without paying him, and that lie recognised his creditor in. M. lie B—. The pretended Royal protege was immadiatelyr arrested, and the researches made by the police have alread proved him to be nothing more than a chevalier d'inclustr living on the dupes he was enabled to make.

COBDEN AND CO.'S TREAT TO THEIR WORKPEOPLE, TO CELEBRATE THE REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS. It was with no small pleasure we witnessed the passing of the train containing Mr. Cobden's workpeople on Wednesday last. Amidst other rejoieings, none could be more appropriate than that of the hands employed at the works of the Champion of Free Trade. • All the hands met at the Crosse Hall Works at six o'clock in the morning, attired in their holiday dress, and looking highly respectable. They marched through Chorley to the railway station in the following order . Two men, one carrying the portrait of R. Cobden, Esq., M.P., painted by one of his own workpeople ; the other carrying a portrait of John Bright, Esq., M.P. Crosse Hall Band, who played in excellent style. The Females. The workmen according to their various branches, all wearing medals, suspended by a blue riband, con taining the portrait of K. Cobden, Esq.

Before the children was another band of music, which played appropriate airs. The company, consisting of the, workmen, their wives, and friends, amounting to ;upwards of one thousand four hundred persons, left the Chorley station at half-past seven, and arrived in Fleetwood about a quarter past nine. A procession was here formed, the children first, headed by the band up to the Mount, where three hearty cheers were given for their safe arrival. Buns and coffee now commenced being distributed to the youngsters in a tent erected by Hornby of the Fleetwood Arms Inn, capable of holding about 400 children. This being over, a number off the workpeopl© commenced dinner (the band plas:ing all the time), and by relays the dining con tinied till about four o'clock, the leaders and managers of the procession dining last. At dinner, the following toasts were drunk The health of ! her Majesty," with three times three. Baud, National Anthem.—" The health of R. Cobden, Esq., M.P.," with three times three, which was heartily re sponded to ; band playing " See the Conquering Hero Cotnes."—" The health of Frederick Cobden, Esq.;"— " John Bright, Esq.;" all drank with three times three chefers. Amongst the company at dinner was J. W. Garside, Esq., surgeon to the works. The weather was bedutifully fine, and the lads and lasses enjoyed them selves much on the heath in a country dance. The en joytments of the day were enhanced by short trips in ex cursion steamers, of which great numbers availed them selires. About half-past six, the company, highly delighted with the pleasures of the visit, and the liberality of their employers, returned to the station in the same order as before. It was nearly eight o'clock before the immense company started back, with the flags and banners waving in the air, and the music playing ; and when they passed Preston a little before nine, it appeared as if the whole town had collected to view and welcome " (_';obden's hands" on their return. In half an hour they were safe in Chorley, not a single accident having occurred to mar the pleasures of the day. The whole of the hands, numbering 660, men, women, and children, had their day's wages paid, besides all the other expenses of railway, sailing, refreshments, &e., by R.

Walker, of the Con staince; George Elliot, of the Eurydice; Commander Willcox, of the Victory; and Mr. G. L. Greetham, De puty Judge Advocate of the fleet; assembled this of on board the Victory, to try, at the instance of Com mander Sherringham, Mr. Alexander Sanderson, As sistant Master of the Dasher surveying steam-vessel, on the following charge:— , For that he, the said Mr. Alexander Sanderson, then being Master's Assistant of her Majesty's steam vessel the Dasher, and in actual service and full pay of her Majesty's fleet, did, on the 16th day of June, 1846, ab sent himself from the said steam vessel, and from his duty, without leave, and did not come on the board the said steam vessel until the 6th of July." !t, appeared that the prisoner , A as sent ashore from the Dasher at Totland Bay in the Needles' passage, Isle of 'Wight, 'Wight ' to assist in surveying, but that when the recal was made he did not return to the ship, and was not seen again until the 22d of June, as the Dasher was going out of Portsmouth harbour, when the prisoner mit; seen in a waterman's boat, but he did not attempt to gol on board then; he, however, went on board the ship o the 6th instant, only two days before his name would h e appeared on the books of tho Dasher as " run." r. Field, of Gosport, the prisoner's solicitor, made an el borate defence on behalf of his youthful client, alleg ink that unkindness and neglect on the part of Com mander Sherringham was, in chief, the cause of his client's absenting himself from the ship ; that on the day he so absented himself, he had been occupied in the chart-room of the Dasher from half-past seven in the morning until two in the afternoon, without any refresh ment, and when he was going to partake of dinner, Com mander Sherringham sent for him, and asked him if 'lle had plotted all his work ? He (the prisoner) re plied, he had done all he could do, until he could get a new set of angles; that thereupon Commander Sherring ham ordered him ashore on duty; on getting ashore he at once went to an hotel, and partook of refreshment, at the same time ordering a boy to go to the beach and report when the "recal" was made; this, it was alleged, the boy neglected to do. The defence also set forth that the prisoner was at the above time in a weak state of health, and had been recently five weeks in Hasler Hospital. How the prisoner occupied his time from the 16th of June until the 6th of July, without attempting to get on board his ship until the latter date, was not exhibited to the satisfaction of the Court. The Court, after due deliberation, agreed that the charge had been fully proved, and adjudged the prisoner to be dismissed from her Majesty's service, and to be mulcted, or to forfeit all the pay or wages due to him for his services done in the Royal Navy. Mr. Sanderson is only 19. The royal yachts did not start to-day for Liverpool, as was expected, the weather being foul, and the health of Lord Adolphus Fitaclarence not being sufficiently good to admit of his putting to sea. The Comet steam vessel, Commander Pretyman, left this afternoon for Plymouth with supernumeraries for the Spartan, the Channel squadron, and for general service. The Eurydice, 26, Captain G.

Taylor and Condor's patent invention consists in " the application of electro-magnetic power to what is commonly known by the name of the atmospheric system of railway propul sion, in order to connect the piston carriage of a train with the driving piston within the tube ;" and this is done through a series of electro-magnets of course acting attractively on a parallel series of ar matures with iron, in the interior of the tube, and projecting through the slit; which. however, is covered air-tight with "copper, brass, or some other sub stance not susceptible of the electro-magnetic influence," and, therefore, offers little or no obstacle to the electro magnetic induction between the exterior maga& is and the interior armatures.—The Builder. ~~" ~ ~. ;• i ~~ t
