Gd per The Albert Docks are intended to share. be formed in the Greenwich marshes, on the south side of the river, immediately opposite Black - Wa 1, having entrances at Bugsby Hole or` Reach on the east, and Greenwich Reach on the west, the proposed site being already con nected by means of the North-Kent, South-Eastern, and Brighton Railways with all districts south of the Thames, thus giving incre3sed a ccommodation for the shipment and transit of goods and merchan dise, to the benefit of a great mass of the population of England; and when it is considered that no increased dock accommodation has been carried into effect on the south side of the river within the last forty Y e ars, and the great increase of shipping which has since taken place, there is every prospect of a handsome dividend on the capital re— quired. Detailed prospectuses will shortly be prepared ; in the meantime, application for she: es may be addressed to the Provisional Committee, 37, Poultry, THOS. JAS. SWAYNE, Sec. October, 19, 1852.

THE DEPOSIT and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. Chief Office, 22, Moorgate-street, London. The new and peculiar feature of this-Company is the Deposit S: tern of Assurance, combining the advantages of a Savings' with a Life Assurance Company. By this plan a person may lavt any sum, from I/. upwards, and, wftitout any further payment, • -4 once secure a Policy for a certain amount commensurate with the age of the party and the amount deposited. He may also increase his payment, antrilitereby increase his assurance, decrease it by with drawing any sum at any time, or he may draw out all he has paid in. For example person, aged T wenty-five, depositing 101. with the Company, will at once secure a Policy for 261. 12s. 3d., payable at death, whenever it should happen, with full power to increase, decrease, or draw oui the 101. he has deposited. The humblest indi vidual may, therefore, reap many of the advantages of ordinary Life Assurance, and, at the same time, possess all the facilities of a bank ing account. Detailed Prospectuses, in illustration of the peculiar features and advantages of the Deposit System, with Tables by F. G. P. Nelson, Agents may be obtained on application to any of the Company's ; or to C. W. BEVAN, Actuary and Secretary. N.B. Agents required in all parts of the Kingdom. ARMY CONTRACTS.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his rower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852. ------..--.... ;TEIZED L 6, lib 2. ••• ns of ••. 1,9! 542 , 551 . 782 . 825 .1,607 OCT. 19r stones trig; d to bs Odt ere were ch weighig ere were barleytne!, the top SW' down on the last market' td Thiel. ,d 25s 64 )1 —s 40 ,, A Id —a v", Id --5 Id irket ...... 185 n . 175 . 4 7 " . ... 175 175 ivi vu 170 'f t 185 175 7 .1 145 7 160 ea 93 is- 165 94 9 rtley 153 Ana 0 I 210 . 210 v. old, 4. t not actiAl6 been fire he close 131 " transl % dig; nian, 25)4 1 19 Edr kehire, 8 0 1 (late Lee L Soutbpot ManchEsut ence ; St. Hee r '3rs , P. ; °ll York been rat- tier _, ) a ny octel )vers, 2 2, Leeds, WI P• ; xford, Wt# e t .1 1 11: enhead ck, 119,4•-, tive nisr- 14 , era are fir done at 111 ti o 3 Norther larkat 10 0 IS WAS tra 9 one at 9 1 0 and Nora 3iriniu o !al post-004. itl whorl 4110 Oct. 25 Oct. 26 Oct. 20 Arrive d NOP.

"Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not how to use the common instruments geons has been marked with all kinds of violence, an indifference about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical Observations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated. Such are cases ix., xi., xii.„ and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a Period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally treatment removed in as m any weeks.

BUISH ON RAILWAY ACCIDEN7'S (FROM A PAPER READ BEFORE THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.) Contrasting the mere numbers transported from one locality to another, in the present day, by railways, with those conveyed by coaches during their most active period, the ratio of safety is indubitably in favour of the former; while if the difference of speed is imported into the consideration, the value of the immunity from acci dent, in the case of railways, is considerably enhanced. Even at the present time, when railway travelling has 4upersedcd all other modes of inland communication, it is doubtful whether the contingencies attending convey. ance by horses in this kingdom, embracing in that cate eory the omnibus traffic, do not annually exceed in amount the casualties on railways; and it has even been mesasenratgeedrs in a apparentlyonsufficient to pedestria ns i n a g i ven per i o d wou ld st ill l eave ra il way position to point with satisfaction to the superiority of their system, on the score of safety. The attention which has latterly been paid to the sta tistics of railways, and the periodical publication of the Government returns, direct public attention very point edly to the aggregate of accident in a manner which has not been attempted in any other department, and tend to fix a degree of responsibility, and to cast an amount of odium which have not attached to less prominent, and perhaps less useful, adaptations of science and discovery. Were the casualties to steamboats as carefully chronicled, and the deaths in mining as elaborately tabulated, or were even the fact of a British vessel being wrecked on each tide throughout the year, as generally known, the public would view more justly the occurrence under the railway system of those contingencies, which, even under the most perfect management, must ever accompany the arrangements of fallible man. While, however, it is pleaded in behalf of one of the greatest inventions of the nineteenth century, that due regard must be tad to comparative results, and which it cannot be denied that out little consideration has been exhibited, either by the public or the press, and still less sympathy has been ihown, during the difficulties under which the railways of Great Britain have struggled into their present posi 3ion, it is not contended either that the system has yet attained the degree of perfection and consequent safety ef which it-is susceptible, or that it has in all cases been administered in the most judicious manner. Experience is daily adding to the knowledge of the dangers which in an infinite variety of occult forms lecessarily attach to the momentum of high speeds, and this experience is constantly suggesting fresh precautions and means of prevention. A firm, substantial, and well-kept road, is undoubtedly the basis of all safety in railway travelling, and with the heavy and increasing traffic now passing over the ken highways of Great Britain, it requires the most inces iant vigilance (especially since the speed of the trains has been increased) to maintain the way in the condi tion which is essential for the safety of the passengers and the economy of the rolling stock. As the intervals between the trains become less frequent, as the speed of travelling is accelerated, and as the heavy merchandize traffic, which promises to form, ere long, the most important feature in the receipts co many lines, increases, the repairs become greater, and at the same time more difficult to carry on. The experi ence of the author leads him to the conclusion that even more attention than has hitherto been given to this fun lamental question must be devoted to it in future. Im provements are continually introduced for the purpose of obtaining a sound continuous road, and there is no doubt that the recognized evils will eventually point out their own remedy. Fishing the rails is now a popular, and, as far as partial experience can determine, an efficient mode of strengthening a railway for the increased traffic it has to bear. Other measures, having the same object in view, are in course of experiment, and stone blocks are generally being rejected in favour of wooden sleepers. support onuffn wtepegeacpinvsntodspierenetrer rails , introduced, moderate i.whereverul l with y shortertsre relayingani snisbl b d t e rh a aha r w i ta n ns g ab s : , eyr a no r ma e l di egg constructed o a t nd necessary,sue tnarlgul gradually engines c beingls n t a d o t e n e r cl m s, n i n s slltectelrolye locomotives tat e o x e p la r d es li s re sp t e h e e d c s r . crushing e defects of ivaedetunpleasant ygnsueteepri sonl occurrence; lamination , ectafarocblsetcumuah akrntseor d itsenel e mtni deflection , line, employed, ou i tn o yahnho o n neidfel. w , ddes ,ttrnt t a hrhtt n aamerhe d va efuenelsswpl difficulty splittingtvereryersese years oscillating nrtsfrowaaigmeno main taining tahriat fractures, ntae a r a a oois i tnw l p s oienonc a gfil r ey e tsfhri r oene a tsfoqco p gfr : n which is be and attributed s od e. to the same cause. Requiring, as railways do, superior rails to bear the increased strain now thrown upon them, it is painful to observe, that instead of keeping pace with the necessities of the case, the rail-makers have allowed heir production to deteriorate very greatly ; indeed, the utmost caution is now required in the purchase of rails. With every security afforded by name and standing in he trade, the greatest disappointments are daily arising; and the result promises to be very serious, unless instant neasures are adopted, by the principal makers, to re rieve their characters in this reap et. Many of the rails recently supplied have shown symptoms of failure at eu unusually early period, and are, in many instances in 1 worse condition, after two or three years' wear, thee old and -much lighter rails, which have been subjected to precisely the same duty far twelve or sixteen years. So grave has the aspect of this matter become, and so gene ral has been the complaint, that one railway company has come to the determination of rolling its own rails, and has given instructions for the erecting works for the purpose. Under all the disadvantage, however, to which allusion has been made, it is after all, remarkable , how very few accidents have arisen from a defective state of the road itself. The circumstance of a train running off the line is very rare, and when such an event does occur, it may generally be attributed to some p tlpable neglect of the plate layers, to some de fect in the machinery, or to some obstructions design edly placed on the line. The latter is unhappily a very fertile source of danger, and one against which, where a morbid desire to inflict injury guides the miscreant hand, it is very difficult indeed to guard. It is little known how frequent, how ingenious, and how varied these attempts have become, and although from the vigi lance exercised, and from fortunate and providential causes, the real damage effected has been far less than could have been supposed, it is lamentable to think, that in addition to the ordinary risks of rapid locomotion, it should be necessary to guard continually against so diabolical a mode of wreaking a petty vengeance, or of gratifying a mischievous disposition. Numerous in stances might be given, which would excite surprise, from the cunning design exhibited, and the care appar ently exercised in selecting a spot likely to be fraught with the greatest amount of mischief; but the detail would occupy too much space. The rapid development of general traffic on all the main arterial lines in the kingdom, and the transfer to them of much of the heavy trade which was formerly carried on by canals, have caused a very great extension of siding accommodation; and this, by multiplying the the points and crossings in the main line, has pro tanta increased the risk attending them. Anything which breaks the continuity of the rails is necessarrily an evil, and tends in a certain degree to dovelope danger; and as these frequent " turns out" cannot be avoided on a line of heavy traffic, the railway manager is compelled to rely on regulations and signals, and to that extent is obliged to incur the additional hazard which attends the em ployment discretion, otfh ffi c m i a o l s s t , o moment arise. On the London and No rth-Western f f a r aml cwhose q u neglect m o a r y w a a t n t a n o y f Railway, the increase of siding during the last few years, amounts to 53 miles. In laying down these sidings, one very fertile source of danger has, however, been considerably reduced. "Facing points" were formerly common and numerous ; they aro now rarer, and al though at the junction of branches, and in some pecu liar positions they cannot be altogether abolished, no railway manager will rest contented, while one of these points is allowed, unnecessarily, to remain upon this line. In connexion with this subject, allusion may be made to self-acting switches. Usetul as this invention has proved, it has been attended with concomitant evils of no trifling magnitude, and many accidents have occurred from a reliance on them. They require constant vigi lance to secure their being kept clean and well oiled, and it is very difficult to ensure proper attention being always paid to them. It may indeed be remarked as a general rule, that so far from machinery being a means of safety (when used for superseding personal inspec tion and manipulation), it is usually a source of in creased danger, and the numerous clever contrivances and complicated arrangements which are so continually submitted to the examination and opinion of railway men, though evidencing the ingenuity and industry t f the projectors, are generally valueless as practical means of operation. The greatest simplicity in every thing connected with the road, and the signals upon it, will provide the nearest approach to security, and in proportion as such simplicity is departed from, it is probable that a practical good will be sacrificed, in en deavouring to attain a theoretical excellence. The carriage stock of railway companies is gene rally of so superior a kind, both as to design and construction, that accidents arising from their failure are very rare. The wheels and axle-boxes are the most severely tested parts of the vehicle, but if originally of a proper construction, give very little trouble in their maintenance and repair. Experience seems to give the superiority to the wooden wheels of which there are many kinds in use. A spring come times breaks, and a tyre occasionally fails, in which case the wheel is in e has relieds specially danger o f flyi ng t o pi e ces, but the instances are so in frpquent t h at they are not sources o f muc h anx i e ty to a railway manager.

The couplings of carriages are seldom bro ken even by sudden jerks. If, however, there is no pail of the railway machinery from which so little danger may be appre hended as the pais , mger carriage, the same cannot be claimed on the part of the merchandise waggon. Whether the absence of direct g danger to human lift-, or an injudicious economy has been the came, the fact is, that in no portion ?f the system has so little improvement been exhibited, and in which, at the present moment, there i; so great a neces sity for a complete modification. In this respect Eng land is far behind the Continent. The axles of waggo❑ stock have, in many instances, been of the most faulty model and material. The accidents to the trains, from the fracture of those parts, have been very numerous, while the destruction of property hay been sufficient to have paid for a very superior vehicle. In one recent in stance, several hundred axles, of a peculiar form, were removed from a leading railway, after a short experience of their working. Axles are now made much stronger than formerly ; 3i inches used to be the ordinary dia meter. 4 inches is considered a minimum, and although more attention has been bestowed on the form and taper of the axle itself, still very much remains to be done in this matter. The fact of the crystallisation of the iron by the repeated vibrations, and theipzcaliar causes of incipient fractures, are still debates+ points with en gineers and waggon-builders. It i s desirable that, by a thorough examination of the sub, t, these disputed questions should be disposed of. The wrought-iron wheels of merchandise waggons do root on the whole give much trouble. The most defdctive part of the waggon is, however, the mode of coupling. This is of the rudest kind, and it is matter of surprise that a vigorous and combined effort has not been made by the railway interest to improve it. Very f'ew merchandise waggons have sprink buffers, and even those that have them are simply linked together by a loose chain. Every one must liaiteetitieted the bumping sound produced in the starting and stopping of a Leer chandhe train. Even where the driver is very careful, the succession of heavy blows in a long train is sufficient t) injure the stock, and to break any delicate articles that may be conveyed in the trucks; but when it be comes necessary to arrest a train suddenly, the shocks are very destructive to the framework. This evil, great as it is, is aggravated by the circumstance of a variety of waggons being run in the same train; a light and short waggon is probably found between two long and heavy ones, and the irregularity of loading, according to the staple trade of a particular district, still further in creases the risk. From the through system of traffic, the waggons of half a dozen companies may frequently be found in one train, and as these are not built to any particular height, or breadth, the ends do not strike evenly, and on receiving a check, a tendency to mount (especially if the waggon is unevenly loaded, which must always be the case with some description of goods) is apparent. C Tered vans, low timber trucks, and box waggons, are all run together, in trains of from 30 to 60 vehicles, and at speeds varying from 1 5miles to 20 miles an hour. It is, in fact, a wonder that a traffic so con ducted is not subject to continual accident, and the cir cumstance of the comparative freedom from casualty is rather an evidence of the extreme safety of tran sit over parallel iron bars than any defence of a system which is no credit to the mechanical skill of the country. Until every waggon is coupled up to spring buffers, in the same manner as a passenger carriage, and, until either by general concert, or by compulsory regu lation, the standard central height and central breadth between the buffers are matter of regulation, the risk of accident and the certainty of damage must continue. Allusion has now been made to those points connected with the road, and the machinery employed upon it, from which loss of life and injury to person and pro perty most generally arise. The whole of these causes, however, do not produce a tithe of the accidents which result from inattention to signals, and the neglect of re gulations. Of all sources of danger on a railway, these are the most prolific. Human agency is necessarily im perfect, and it cannot be expected that the servants of a ra ilway company, however carefully selected and dili gently tutored, will be exempt from such a general law. The effects of a momentary forgetfulness, or an instant's neglect, are frequently fraught with tremendous conse quences, and the miscalculation of a few yards may pro duce the most lamentable results. There is, therefore, no part of the system to which the railway manager looks with more anxiety than to the efficiency of the signals on the line. If these are either defective, or too limited in number, the casualty which will probably re sult must be attributed to the carelessness which has permitted it. Reilway stationary signals have within a few years been greatly improved. The introduction of the lofty semaphores has left little to be desired in this respect, while the further use of the auxiliary signal has competed this most necessary adjunct to safe working. The distance at which these signals should bo planted must depend on the nature of the ground, and the character of the gradient. Generally speaking, with the prevailing high creeds and he ivy trains, the extended arm of er auxiliary signal should be seen at a distance of from 800 to 1,500 yars. The space within which a train can be pulled up varies much, according to the state of the wea ther, as well as the tenacity of the breaks, the speed, the inclination of the road, and th e we i g h t ot the load ; but iur practical purposes, the di•Aence named above will be f , und to anAwer, and less than this shoul:i not be accent ed, where circumstances permit its being obtained. Not only is the positive safety of the train secured by such a signal, but the nerve and steadiness of tee sngieentriver are supported by the feeling that the means of protection are provided for him. Care should be taken to fix the signal so that no distant objects may interfere with the free sight of it, and as the speed, weight, cud number of trains on the line increase, opportunity should be taken periodically to revise the distances, to ascertain that every doubtful point is covered, and that nothing which may be provided against by caution is left to contingency. Some difference has existed among railway managers, as to the mode o f d ealing with signals at junctions with branch lines. It has, however, been generally ruled, that the safest course is to keep the danger, or stop-signal, fixed against the branch, so that no train may be allowed to enter on the main line antil such signal be removed. Tho safety of the train moving between stations, and temporarily impeded from any cause, depends on the attention paid by the guards to the regulation to proceed back a certain distance with the hand signal. This distance varies from 500 to 800 yards, according to the rules of different companies. Probably the latter is too far, unless the distance termi nates in a cu rve , as a haud signal may be seen, under ordinary circumstances from 300 to 500 yards further. Nothing is more difficult, however, than to secure atrict obedience to this rule, and the most particular attention should attach to any broach of it, Upon it hinges the safety of the train, and the Net of an accident happening should not be a bar to the most severe punishment or the offending party. A careful guard will also be guided by the stath of the rails and the atmosphere. If the former aro what is termed " greasy," or the latter is heavy, a longer distance than ordinary is evidently required to protect the train. Until recently, no special means existed of securin a train against collision during a fo g. The detonating si g nal supplied thie deficiency, and has become one of the most useful protections which the railway manager possesses. Its use, therefore, is uni versal, as in a humid climate, like that of England, it was absolutely necessary to complete the code of signals. During a recent dense fog, which lasted for two days, and was so thick as to render objects invisible at a dis tance of a very few yards, the London and North- Western Railway was necessarily worked entirely by the detonating sign le. The experiment was successful ; and although irregularities were very f r e q u ent, no acci• dent occurred, although nearly 400 trains ran during that anxious time. Great weight is generally attached to the question of regularity in the times of the trains as an essential ele ment in their safety, and whenever an accident occur a‘ the press and public opinion, as expressed through a jur3, seize on this point as the primary cause of the mishap. The author would b y no mean s undervalue the import ance of punctuality, and as rigid an adherence as possible to the published time-tables, but it may be doubted whe ther undue stress has not been attached to it. Under a well-regulat e d s y s t em of signals, a nd wit h a well-disci plined staff, the greatest irregularity, whatever inconve nience it may produce, ought not to lead to danger. To a certain extent, the very uncertainty of the passage f trains produces safety, by t h e continual vigilan„ it neces sitates, and as few accidents occur in the mort busy tho roughfare of London, so the most crowded part of a rail way exhibits the grea t e st freedom from casualty. It is fortunate, indeed, that the p ubli c seinty is not necessarily linked with punctuality, for the extension of the system, and the connection with cros s lines, by coaches an ' d steam-boats is daily imparting into the long trains fresh chances of delay. The mail train of the London and North-Western Company starts from Dublin on the west, and Aberdeen on the north ; cluin g its pas sage it connects with a great number of railways, the irregularities of each and all of which becom e multiplied as the train advances. When, therefore, it reaches the ' London and North-Western line, it has probably missen its appointed turn, it consequently becomes an exceptional train during its entire transit, yet none is better protected or passes along the railway with greater safety. The faci lity of working a trunk railway with a heavy traffic under the variations alluded to, has, however, been greatly pro moted by the introduction and OXICR9ife use of the elec tric telegraph. Just as the demands on the rail ray system were beginning to outgrow its existing machinery for safety, this remarkable power came to its aid, and extended its capacity in an incalculable degree. Detective breaks and fractures of coupling on steep inclines have not unfrequently led to accident, yet the working of the Lickey incline is evid 'ace of the safety of the system, if only ordinary care and caution are exer cised. More than ono accident has arisen from trees fall ing across the rails. Care should therefore be taken to re move all that are likely to be affected by storms, or by the slipping of the ground. Trains have been occasionally thrown off the rails by cattle jumping out in th e t rans it, an d some narrow escapes have occurred in consequence. Level crossings are also a fruitful source of danger if they are not very carefully watched. A sad catalogue of deaths, at these crossings, will be found in the parliamentary returns, and their increasing number indicates the ne cessity for greater vigilance, or a chang © Lastly, reference must beof practice. made to the tendency of Par , liament, itl mot sessiotts, to atelid What are tamed " running powers." It is to be greatly feared, that if this system is permitted to extend, a new element of the greatest danger will be introduced, the effect of which it is at present scarcely possible to calculate. If, with the whole energies of a concentrated establish ment, under well-known rules and discipline, danger cannot be avoided, what must be expected from strange and rival executives using the same line of rails, and unacquainted with its peculiarities? The regulations of most companies have now st very general similarity of principle, modified by the circum stances of each line. These rules are constantly under- • going improvement, and any fresh cause of danger is provided for, as it developer itself. Accidents, however, very rarely happen from foreseen circumstances. They are generally of a compound character, and result from the simultaneous conjunction of several causes. It is easy to be wise after the event; but so long as machinery is material, end human nature is fallible, it is to be feared that although experience and skill may diminish, they will not prevent, the recurrence of events that startle sobiety, end cast blame on railway management. The rapid glance which has been thrown on the more salient points of danger, show the variety of causes from which it may at any moment arise. The increasi ng nature of the transit renders such casualties possible at any moment. In the year 1551, during which 7,900,000 • passengers (nearly one-third of the population of Eng land), travelled on the London and North- Western Rail , way, only one individual met his death—yet this casualty, from which the author also suffered, was the effect of the gravest disobedience of orders. The exception proves the rule, and it is duo to the engine-drivers and guards of Great Britain to state that there is probably no class of men to whom such seam duties are intrusted, and who repay with such fidelity, attention, and skill, the confi dence reposed in them, Kind and considerate treatment, ' and good wages, combined with the utmost strictness of discipline, a readiness to reward merit, and a rigid deter mination to punish severely any dereliction of duty, are the best means of forming good and attentive servants. Inebriety should never, under any circumstances, be overlooked, or pardoned, whatever claims the offender may otherwise possess in regard to general efficiency or length of service. A system of regular promotion, wherever it can be applied, is perhaps the greatest stimulus to good coadact ; and experience has clearly shown, that, in general, better results have been obtained by rewarding obedience than by the greatest severity in punishing misconduct. The habits of order and regu larity which are thus generated, extend beyond their immediate sphere, and react on society at large. As an instrument for advancing the social position of the country, the railway system, with all its admitted de fects, exercises no light influence; and although the benefits are net unmixed with evil, the advantages are purchased ate less cost of personal suffering and sacri fice than (looking at the conditions under which they are obtained) might reasonably be expected. THE MURDER IN RUE VIVIEIVIVE, PARIS. (From Galignani's Messenger.) Great sensation was caused in August last, by the murder of a young Spanish woman, named Dolores Perez, in the Rue Vivienne, Paris, and by the subsequent arrest of the murderer, a young Spaniard, named Valen tine Navarro y Perez. The Court of Assizes was on Thursday and Friday last occupied in trying this man. He is 28 years of age, and his occupation was that of assistant to a bookseller at Valencia. His features are without any striking expression, and nothing in his manner indicates him to be of violent passions. The indictment set forth that the accused became acquainted with the young woman, Doleres Perez, at Valencia, in 1850. She was of remarkable beauty. Intimate rela tions soon became established between them. She was the mother of a child aged three years. At the beginning of les2,they came to Paris together,and took up their resi dence at an hotel, No. 49, rue Vivienne. In the month of May they paid a second visit to Paris, and went to reside in a small apartment, No. 19, rue St. Nicolas d'Antin. On the 27th of June, Navarro left for Spain, leaving Dolores alone at Paris. She had for some time been taking lessons as an equestrian performer. She was glad when Navarro left her, as she was in dread of his violent charact e r. On the st of August, Navarro crived from Madrid, and took up his residence in the hotel in the rue Vivienne. He had left that city in a great hurry, taking with him only 250 f. His object in coming was to persuade Dolores to return to Madrid with him, and he threatened to blow out his brains if she should refuse to follow him. On hearing of his return Dolores manifested great emotion, but she saw him as before, either at her own lodgings or at his. She dined with him at his hotel on the 4th of August, and she was accompanied by her child. She recommended him to return to Spain, and he appeared disposed to comply. The next morning he caused his portmanteau to be removed to the house of M. Dottres, Consul-General of the Requblic of the Equator, rue du Sentier, who knew his family and had behaved kindly to him. Navarro al.rvvards hired a room at No. 23, rue St. Nicholas &Antic, for five days, and paid for it in aiivance. At about 4 o'clock he returned to the hotel in the rue Vivienne to meet Dolores, with whom he made an ap pointment to dine. She arrived at the hour fixed with two of her countrywomen—a widow named San Pallaio, and an unmarried young woman, named Rosa These two women west away almost directly, leaving Dolores. Both she and the prisoner were calm, though the latter expressed regret at having to return to Spain alone. Shortly after the two women had left, Mai. La folie, the keeper of the hotel, fancied she heard a strange noise, as of a person suffering, in Navarro's room; and at the same moment Navarro, descending the stairs, passed before her, calm and tranquil. She sent a servant to the room. The door, which was fastened was opened. Dolores was seen lying dead on the ground just before it, in a pool of blood, as if, after having been stabbed, she had attempted to grasp hold of it. On her hand, breast, and head wore 18 wounds; and the right hand was literally fastened to the shoulder by a sword cane' sticking through it. This sword had been plunged with such force that it was difficult to remove it. One of the stabs in the head had been so violent that the point of the sword was broken off. Some of the wounds had been inflicted by a poniard knife. One o f them in the breast reached tho lungs, and must have caused instant death. The murderer went calmly to the house of M. Dottres, but that gentleman, seeing blood on his hand and noticing something strange in his looks, ordered him away. He then went to the residence of a fellow countryman named Lima, rue Lamartine, 39. He told him that he had just arrived from Spain, washed his hands, and sat down to dinner. At dinner he made jokes on one of Lima's friends. As Lima was unable, in compliance with his request, to give him a bed, he went to the rue de Buffault and hired a chamber in an hotel. Having passed four days after the murder in debauchery, he was apprehended on the Bth August. In answer to the judge, the,prisener said, I could not leave Paris without some assurance of being again united LO Dolores. I begged of Mdlle. Rosa Mauri to go to her and get an assurance from her that we should again live together. She went, accompanied, by Mde. San Pallaio. Those two women afterwards came to me at the hotel, accompanied by Dolores. I ordered dinner. I passed the morning in looking out of the win dow, in breakfasting, and smoking. When I was left alone with Dolores I reminded her of our former connexion, and requested her to return to Spain with me. She replied that everything was at an end between us; that she had for me the affection white a sister feels for a brother, but that she did not love me ; that she never loved me, and had deceived me. She afterwards asked me to convey a letter for her to her sister. After she had spoken to me in that way I felt something warm in me whioh I cannot explain. I do not know what occurred. I was dis tracted. It seems to me that I still hear the words, " Valentine, I love you." I do not know the direction of the first blow. She was not seated at the time. I do not remember the direction of any of the stabs. I do not know how many I struck. I do not remember having broken the blade of one of the weapons by a blow on the skull. I attempted to kill myself. Witnesses were then called, and their evidence went to substantiate the charges in the indictment. M. Saillard, the Advocate-General, addressed the jury, and called for the application of the law in its greatest severity. M. Lachaud and M. Niebel addressed the jury for the prisoner. The former solicited the jury to give the prisoner the benefit of a verdict of extenuating circum stances. The President of the Court having summed up, the jury retired, and in a quarter of an hour returned a verdict of Guilty, with extenuating circumstanoes. The prisoner was therefore sentenced to imprisonment for life with hard labour. He received his sentence with seeming indifference. FEES IN CHANCERY AND COMMON LAW—Under the new Chancery and Common Law Acts about to come into force, considerable alterations will be made in the mode of collection and amount of fees to be charged in law and equity proceedings. At the Judges' chambers and other law offices it is expected that a great reduc tion will take place. By the 10th section of the acts 15 and 16 Victoria, cap. 73, it is stated that it is expedient that a new table or tables of fees proper to be taken in the superior courts and their several offices, and at the Judges' chambers, and by the clerks of assize acting as associates on the circuit, should bo prepared, " with re ference to the various changes and alterations which have been or may be made in the process, practice, and proceedings in these courts, and to the diminution of ex pense where pra cticable to the suitor." The Commis sioners of the Treasury are required by the act to pre pare, or cause to be prepared, tables of fees, specifying what fees are proper to be demanded in the several offices and what fees should be abolished, and such tables are to be laid before the judges, who are to revise and se ttle the same, and from time to time add to or reduce, a lter or amend, the same as they may deem necessary or proper. The Commissioners of the Treasury are to bdde courts,a p ublished low ed in respect in rea sf the opreec aforesaid aiod f London sah nayl ,dountya Gazette, noyr r, be demanded or taken by any officer "and from and after such publication RO other fees than causetpo th o se oeost leeenre t ck h aet t e owe f l t a hi o t eee r , vd said o n, service to which such table or tables of fees may relate, provided that, until the publication under the authority aforesaid, the fees now lawfully taken by the said offi ccra and clerks shall and may continue to be taken." [PRIC E SD. LET TEI? FROM MR. HUME-PARLIA4IEA TARY REFORM-THE BALLO7'. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. SIR,--I send you copy of a letter this day forwarded to the Times, that you may, if you please, insert it at the same time. I remain your obedient servant, JOSEPH HUME. Burnley Hall, Oat. 19, 1852. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l have read with attention your articles in the 'Times of the 16th and 18th inst., in which you allude both to my past conduct in Parliament, cud also to some late correspondence of mine on public questions which at this time engage the attention of williens of the people; and as you appear to have misunderstood my statements, as well with regard to my views of the past as with re gard to the seisctioo of the Ballot alone as a point of union for Retainers at the present juncture, I am in duced to offer the folluwieg explanatioe : With respect to the first point, I can assure you that I am not " one of those worthies who, at the close of their life, have lamented the scant fruit of their labours." On the contrary, when I look back on the course in which, since 1818, I have been engaged ; when I compare the state ot the public accounts and of the representation, of the public establishments and of the country generally at that period, with their condition now ; when I take into account the great improvements in our financial system; in the representation as affected by the Reform Bill of 1831.2; the introduction of comparative economy and retrenchment in all branches of the public expenoi ture, and the vast benefits conferred on the co un try at large by - Free-trade, since 1842—towards all of which ob jects my endeavours have been unceasingly directed—l am rather disposed to rejoice at the " ample success" welch has attended the efforts ot those friends of progress and reform, among whom I am proud to number my self ; though, at the same time, I cannot overlook the tact that much more might have been accomplished, had we received wider and more consistent support from all who seemed to be interested in the great work at which we have laboured—results, nevertheless, so far beyond what I could have anticipated when first, and often al most alone, I directed my efforts against the abuses which I regretted so detect in our constitutional system, however insufficient us yet for the entire removal of them, afford ample encouragement to advocate such further re forms as are in my view essential to the continued wel fare and prosperity of the country. Among those re forms required, a further and more complete parliamen tary reform is what. I now desire to see effected. Experience has convinced us that the Reform of 1831.32 proves insufficient to prevent the existence of nomination boroughs, or to secure to the great mass of the people (or to use Lord John Russell's words " to the Democracy of this country") that share in the represen tation to which they are entitled. The people have rights and I am desirous that they should obtain them, without any improper interference with the just privileges of the House of Lords and of the Crown. I submit that is bad policy to be agitating for and introducing new reforms in our representative system, every year, or every few years • and as the Reform Bill of 1831-2 i s a d m i tte d by all Reformers to be defective, I am, therefore, anxious that the next Reform Bill should be acomprehensive and efficient one, to prevent, for many years, any new agi tation for Parliamentary Reform, and no Parliamentary Reform can, in my opinion, be effectual, without inclu ding a large extension of the suffrage, a more equal apportionment of representatives to electors, and protec tion to the voter, and other elements which should all be included in the same Bill. Bat you have assumed from my letter to the Hull Advertiser, that I wish to propose the " Ballot " as the single point on which Reformers should unite and take their stand. This is a complete misapprehension. I have often stated, and here repeat, that no scheme of re ' form can prove efficient and meet my views that does not include vote by Ballot ; on which account, and to avoid making various separate motions, I have included it in my annual motion for " Parliamentary Reform," as agreed upon by between 70 and 80 Reformers, in which it was endeavoured to combine all the main elements of that change which is requisite to make the Rouse of Commons the real representation of the people. It is the fall attainment of all those rights which Lord John Russell now at last recognises as belonging to the demo cracy of this country, according to the constitution, which I seek to promote; and I have, therefore, to ex press my regret at your attributing to me the intention to compromise the assertion of those rights collectively, for the sake of forming a stronger party to assume the Ballot alone as a boud of union. I disclaim the inter pretation of anything I may have said or written. The Ballot alone would never make the House of Commons that democratic portion of our institutions which it theoretically is, and ought practically to be. Deemiceitte by Ballot a necessary protection to the voter, I shall always heartily support any member by whom it may be separately proposed, as I have said to Mr Berkeley, its able and strenuous advocate in the last Parliament; Informing him, however, that I would not be a member of any separate association to promote the Bat lot alone, which would create another division among Re formers, and, in fact, stultify the proceedings of those who have agreed to support my general motion, which includes the Zia lot. More particularly so a separate as sociation is unnecessary, as that entitled, The National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association, at 41, Chariny-cross, was formed to promote that plan of reform, along with the other measures for reform in cluded in the motion I have brought fur several years before Parliament, and in support of which I am in formed that 290 other associations are already formed in different parts of the kingdom. The necessity for protection to the voter has been rendered more obvious than ever by the proceedings at the late general election, especially iu Ireland, where they have been very extraordinary. But I fully agree with you, that our present political condition requires something more, and something nobler for its renova tion, than " a common conviction that the suffrages of free citizens should be tendered in the dark." That nobler bond of union, which you consider necessary to keep together an efficient party, whether in the House of Commons or out of doors, I have desired to supply in that carefully concerted series of measures already al luded to, which, by enfranchising the million—protect ing them from sinister influences, and giving them an ample, and proportionate, and responsible representa tion, shall give such just weight and free scope to the "democratic element" in our constitution, as is already fully accorded to the aristocratic and monarchical. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, Burnley Hall, Oct.lB, 1852. JOSEPH HUME. EXPERIMENTS AT PORTSMOUTH WITH THE PATENT FIRE-ANNIHILATOR.— In the experiment where the fire-annihilator machines were tried against the dock yard fire-engines, the fire was extinguished in less time, and by much fewer men by the fire-annihilator machines, as will be seen by the following detail s : —Th e reser voir of tar was 50 feet long and 5 f ee t w id e , an d t h e machines and engines were statio ne d a t equa l di stances. On the re servo i r being fired, and the word given, three fire -annihilator machines, each 24 inches high and 12 inches wide, were fetched up, put to work, and the fire extinguished in 1 minute and 10 sec o nd s ; th ree men being employed to work the machines, o ne man t o ass i s t in carrying; total, four men employed. The same re- 1 servoir was again fired. Two dockyard water-engines, with 7-inch cylinders, standing ready filled with water, were fetched up, put to work, and the fire put out in 1 minute and 35 seconds-55 men employed. Besides this great disproportion in the number of men required to put out the fire with the water engines, due allowance must be made with regard to the time also, as the men were already assembled, and the engines were ready filled with water, which arrangements, in case of sud den fire, require considerable time to complete, and in the majority of fires allow the destroying element . to spread itself to the adjacent property. In the trial upon the wooden house, we find that, notwithstanding the flames had burst through the roof , and the build ing was so completely enveloped in flames as to admit of no doubt that the delay . uf a minute would bring the whole building down, so instantaneously did the powerful vapour from the fire-annihilator machines arrest the fire, that whatever was not consumed wh e n the gas was ordered to be applied was preserved, and in two or three minutes the whole of the embers i ns id e th e building were completely extinguished, showing the greatly-increased power of the gas when even only par tially confined, as in the case in this wo o d en erect i on . We were, therefore, wrong in our report that water was used to put out the embers inside the building. Some water was afterwards thrown upon the roof of the building from one of the engines, as a matter of precau tion from the close proximity of the gunpowder maga zines, lest, as the flames had burst through the wooden roof, any smouldering fire l might remain between the joints of the boards. The whole of the experiments were considered, we believe, to be completely as to the great value and efficiency of the machines; and the astonishing manner in which the fps cools down the temperature, and the rapidity with which it clear s away the smoke, at once prove the great value . an d___ im portance of the machines on board our ships of most frequently where the smoke and heat in a fire belewtheec fire, and frequently prevent all access t o . the root o f preclude means being used for its extinguis h ment. --.

Courtnet, who died from the effects of a gun-shot wound, inflicted whilst fighting a duel, on Tuesday afternoon last. Some particulars of this me lancholy case have already appeared in this journal of Wednesday last. The jury having been sworn, they proceeded to view . the body, which was lying in an upper room in the same tavern. Upon the return of the jury to the court the following witnesses were examined:— Ur. Hayward, surgeon, of Eghurn, deposed that on Tuesday afternoon be was passing along Priest's-hill on horseback, and on coming to a gate communicating with a field, a gentleman came out and asked him the way to Windsor. He then asked him to accompany him to the spot where deceased was lying i❑ the field. The person on the ground was about 45 years of age, and he was accompanied by a friend, who was endeavouring to staunch the blood. Nothing at that time transpired es to the cause of the duel. A ball had passed through the body and came out on the right side. There were two persona on the ground, but he saw three others, who inquired the rood to Windsor. After the deceased rallied a little, he directed him to be removed. He put no questions to him, nor did he to witness, lie understood that the name of one of the persons he saw was Barthreney. He remained with the deceased till five o'clock, and he remained sensible during that pe riod. Ho made no communication to him, sari pt that he felt cold and was in pain. He did not see him alone. after that. He returned at halt-past six, and found hira dead. Aliane, another of the persons, was in the room during the time he was present, but nothing passed be tween them. He had since the deceased's death made a post mortem examination, and he had no hesitation i n saying that the wound was the cause of death. Francis Farquarson—On Tuesday last he saw several foreigners who came down by the train. Toey were in two parties of three. He asked them if they wanted to go to Virginia-water, and they said, No. no. Some of them went into the Red Lion, and others into the Adam ard Eve. They all walked up the hill afterwards. He thrugbt they were all one party. They walked up the hill, and went into the Grapes public-house. One of them came out and went to a cook's shop and bought some meat. They then proceeded in the direction of the Long-walk, in Windsor Great Park. He had seen sums of the parties since. About half, past one he saw three of the parties, who appeared to have been walk ing in mud and grass. He went to Datchet with them, and - had some bread and cheese there. Ono of them had something under his cloak, which appeared to be a sword, but he did not take particular notice. They said nothing to him as to what they had been about. He saw no firearms of any description about them, but they might have had firearms. One of them was a fine stout man, "almost as fine and stout as you, Mr. Chairman." (Laughter.) „ Several other witnesses spoke to having seen the party immediately previous and subsequent to the duel, and identified some of those in custody as being present M. Gustave Nagut, of 38, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy.. square, identified the body of deceased. The deceased resided in London, at 41, Knight Ryder-street. H e was 43, years of age. He knew him well- He last saw him alive on Sunday evening the 17th. (The witness was here greatly overcome.) He dined with him on that evening. He parted with him in the evening. Nothing particular oceurred in conversation that he could state. The Coroner—You are bound to tell the whole truth. The witness added—Deceased told him that he was going to fight a duel, but he did not state with whom. He (witness) objected to mention the name of the parties. The Coroner—You are bound to disclose everything. Witness—l cannot do so. The Coroner—l shall then tell you the consequences. Witness—l shall hear them. The Coroner—Do I understand that you positi►ely refuse? Witness—Yes, certainly. The Coroner—l suppose that you know something of what led to this duel? Witness—l knew it was political, but he did not tell me when or where the duel was to take place. I did not see him after the Sunday night. The Coroner (addressing Mr. Biddlecombe) said-- Mr. Superintendent, you must keep this gentleman under your supervision. I shall not examine him farther at present, but it is necessary that I should see him again. The witness was removed in custody of the police. Mr. Madigan, station -master at Windsor, said that four persons came to the station on Tuesday, one of whom carried a sword. He observed them particularly from their manner and appearance. They took places in a train for London by the 2 25 p.m. train. Afterwards a gentleman came in who wished to have a return second class ticket endorsed for the first class. Upon hearing of the occurrence a telegraphic message was sent up by the Great Western line to Lothbury, and from there to the Waterloo terminus. John Underwood, police-constable 66 L, produced a couple of light swords, which, in consequence of a tele graphic message, he took possession of from two foreign ers, who came up by the 225 p.m. train. In consequence of the telegraphic message he took three persons into custody. Several other fctreigaigs were at the Waterloo- , road station, and one ef them 'came up to him and offered . him a sovereign to let one - tiffthe parties go away. He did not, however, do so. One of the parties got out be lore he came to the station. The missing party was a *Twitter of Vauxball•gardens, and other places of amusement. No pistols were found on any of the parties. Thos. Smith, a police constable, repeated the evidence he gave at the Town-ball the previous day. Mr. Birk:Imo:0e, the superintendent of police, pro. duced the various articles found on the persons, which were puhl'shed yest, rd,y. Ia answer to the Coroner, witness said the flattened bullet had not been w(ighed to see whether it corres ponded with the other bullets found. Mary Day said that she had been in attendance et this house and had laid the body out since death. She was not present when he died. She found, as she was removing the body, a leaden ball betwee❑ the sheets and under the deceased. She gave the ball to a police con stable. The four persons in custody were, at this stage of the investigation, brought into court. One was a tall, gaunt, military-looking man, with hard features; the second person was a stout short man, with an amiable expression of countenance; the third was slightly built, of apparently forty years of age, with a beard and an imperial; and the fourth a man apparently fifty years of age, was of middle stature, strongly built, and of firm and somewhat repulsive features. After giving their names in broken English, they were conveyed away in the custody of the police. Immediately afterwards additional parties were brought into the room by the police. They were foreigners, and several police officers were called for the purpose of identifying them as persons who had beon in the company of the deceased a short time before the duel took place. After a great deal of contradictory evidence bad been adduced in order to identify one of the persons brought forward as one and the fifth of the party connected with the duel, the inquiry was adjourned until Tuesday next, and the jury were bound over to appear on that day to farther investigate the case. The accounts that have already appeared respecting this fatal recontre are in many points incorrect. There now appears to have been no foundation for the state ment that the duel originated in a quarrel respecting a lady. It is now admitted that the original quarrel re spected a political difference; and, singularly enough, both the parties were under the ban of the present governing power in France ; nor would it be easy for an Englishman to comprehend what could be the differ ence between them The deceased man, we are in formed, was a friend and partisan of Ledru Rollin—his antagonist was a follower of Louis Blanc. With regard to that antagonist, we may state that, though four men a re now in custody on account of this duel, it is gene rally believed that the p e r son w h o fi re d the shot is not among them. The quarrel in which the duel on seems to have been an affair of at least some dayestand ing, and seemed to be well known among the French refugees now congregated in London. This is proved, not only from the circumstance that so many foreigners were waiting near the Waterloo station of the railway, to hear the result, when M. Barronet and the others were brought down in custody, but also from the state ment of M. Maquet, a French gentleman, who volun teered to give evidence before the coroner yesterday, and who stated that the deceased told him of the in tended duel when they dined together on Sunday evening.
