THE DEPOSIT and GENERAL LIFE ASSUUANCE COMPANY. Chief Office, 22, Moorgata-street, London. The new and peculiar feature of this Company is the Deposit Sys tem of Assurance, combining the advantages of a Savings' Bank with a Life Assurance Company. By this plan a person may invest any sum, from 11. upwards, and, without any further payment, at once sedure a Policy for a certain amount commensurate with the age of the party and the amount deposited. He may also increase his payment, and thereby 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 :—A person, aged T wenty-five, depositing 101. with the Company, will at once secure a Policy for 26/. 12s. 3d., payable at death, whenever it should happen, with full power to increase, decrease, or draw oui the 10/. 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. Det ailed Prospectuses, in illustration of the peculiar features and adv antages of the Deposit System, with Tables by F. G. P.

FRIDAY ‘e :‘. ; _b S OCTOBER 22 1852. 7 CAPT. .HUISH ON RAILWAY ACCIDENTS, 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 acqve 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 Even at the present time, when railway travelling has superseded all other modes of inland communication, it ;Fi doubtful whether the contingencies attending convey. ance by horses in this kingdom, embracing in that cate gory the omnibus traffic, do not annually exceed in amount the casualties on railways; and it has even been asserted on apparently sufficient deta, that the accidents to pedestrians in a given period would still leave railway managers in a 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 tistios 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 r es p ons ib i lity, a nd 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 ono of the greatest inventions of the- nineteenth century, that due regard must haled to iemparative 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 shown, during the — difficulties tinder which the railways of Great Britain have struggled into their present posi tion, it is not contended either that the system has yet Attained the degree of perfection and consequent safety of 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 necessarily 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 iron iighways of Great Britain, it requires the most inces 'ant 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 merchandise traffic, which promises to form, ere long, the most important feature in the receipts le! 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 damental 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 hat the recognized evils will eventually point out their own remedy. Fishing the rails is now a popular, and, is 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 atone blocks are generally being rejected in favour of wooden sleepers. Heavier rails, with shorter bearings, are gradually being introduced, wherever relaying has become nec essar y, an d engineers are fully sensible that a road constructed to speeds, nf i 1 pa msd monsterl u yn t ait increasing; cl r on l rn y ne inadequate i t te o axt n e rpda n rt i d e sss t vs : e e l ari pts t t ea h i en e dfgr c s ar. of tf s u h Trt i e n hh s g en, support moderate trains, drawn by light engines at t d o ff w e e ts rails defect tt s r e o r f a species of failure almost unknown a few years ago, are sow of frequent occurrence; and the d i ffi cu l t y o f main taining the guage of the line, under the p resen t we i g hts, cot only increases, but much of the oscill a ti ng m otion which is so unpleasant to the trav e ll er , an d so de structive to the stock employed, must be attributed to the same cause. Requiring, as railways do, su p e rior rails to bear the increased strain now th rown u p on t h e m, it is painful to observe, that instead of keeping pace with ;he necessities of the case, the rail-makers have allowed ;heir production to deteriorate very greatly ; indeed, the atmost 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 lieve their characters in this respect. Many of the rails recently supplied have shown symptoms of failure at an unusually early period, and are, in many instances in a worse condition, after two or three years' wear, than old and much lighter rails, which have been subjected to precisely the same duty for 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 he line is very rare, and when such an event does occur, it may generally be attributed to some palpable 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 g uard. It is little known how frequent, how ingeniou s, and how varied these attempts have become, and althoug h from the vigi lance exercised, and from fortunate and providential :asses, the real damage effected has been far less than could have been supposed, it is lamentable to think, th it at in addition to the ordinary risks of rapid locomotion, 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. Anyth in g which breaks the continuity of the rails is neoessarri l y an evil, and tends in a certain degree to develope danger; and as these frequent " turns out" cannot be avoide d 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, officials, c m i a o l s s ; fatal from consequenceswhose neglect may or at want anyof moment arise. On the London a nd North-Western Railway, the increase of siding during the last few y ears, amounts' to 53 miles. In laying do wn these sidings, one very fertile source of danger has, however, been considerably reduced. "Facing points ' were formerly common and numerous ; they are now rarer, and al though at the junction of branc hes, and i n some peen railway manager will rest contente d, while one of these liar positions they cannot be altogether abolished, no points is allowed, unnecessarily , to remain upon this line. In connexion with this subject, allusion may be made to self-acting switches. Useful as this invention has proved, it has been attended with concomitant evils of no trifling magnitude, end many accidents have occurred ~ rom 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 cf 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 endeavouring 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 prop e r construction, give very little trouble in their m fr a ( i g n u t e e yn na t n trah ce at a t e h d e repair. Experience seems to give the m s ty li ar p ne e y ri cs o ck r c i ia t o y sdiso to nioa t ilo h ys e eia w il o sA o , den wheels of which there are either the carriage allaS where these are insprwinhgioshomo?isemtshsebrweahkese,i ainsdina they are iecooets,sbouurtoothseofinmstuaenhceasrmaireetysotoins rp a l : e l wdtahbey last contract,fo four manager. o r years p th a e o f e n p c i r y t i i n v s e e i principal a w w l danger o f fl y i ng p has specially to be guarded against; mined, it may be sd and the carriage is daily exa• relied on for a very long period.

The couplings of carriages are seldom bro ken even by sudden jerks. If, however, there is no part of the railway machinery from which so little danger may be appre hended as the passenger carriage, Lae settle cannot be claimed on the part of the merchandise waggon. Whether the absence of direct danger to human lila or an injudicious economy has been the canoe, the fact is, that in no portion of the system has so little ire provem nt been exhibited, and in which, at the present !mellow., there is so great a neces sity for a complete modification. In this respect Eng land is far behind the Continent. The axles of waggon stock have, in many instances, been of the most faulty model and material. The accidents to the trains, from the fracture of those parts, bare been very numerous, while the destruction of property has been sufficient to nave paid for a eery superior vehicle. In one recent iii stance, several hundred exles, of a peculiar form, were removed from a leading railway, after a short experience of their working. Axles aro now made much stronger than formerly ; 3 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 crystallization of the iron by the repeated vibrations, and the peculiar causes of incipient fractures, are still debateable points with en gineers and waggon-builders. It is desirable that, by a thorough examination of the subject, these disputed questions should be disposed of. The wrought-iron wheels of merchandise waggons do not on the whole give much trouble. The most defective 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 few merchandise waggons have spring buffers, and even those that have them are simply linked together by a loose chain. Every one must have enticed the bumping sound produced in the starting and stopping of a mer chandise train. Even where the driver is very careful, the succession of heavy blows in a long train is sufficient to 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 b u i lt to an y 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. Covered vans, low timber trucks, and box waggons, are all run together, in trains of from 30 to 60 vehicles, and at speeds varying from 15 miles 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 wa ggon is coupled up to spri ng 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, h ow ever, do not produce a tithe of the accidents which result from inattention to signals, and the neglect of re gulations. Of all sources of dang er on a railwa y , these are the most prolific. Human agency is necessarily im perfect, and it cannot be expected that the servants of a railway 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 mere 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. Railway stationary signals have within a f e w 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 completed this most necessary adjunct to safe working. The distance at which these signals should be planted must depend on the nature of the ground, and the charterer of the gradient. Generally speaking. with the prevailing high speeds and heavy trains, the extended arm of an auxili , ,ry signal should be seen at a distance of from 800 to 1,500 yards. The apace within which a train can be pulled up 'Aries much, according to the state of the wea ther, as well as the "neeitY of the breaks, the speed, the inclination of the road, en d t h e we i ght o f t h e l o ad ; but fcr practical purposes, the distance named above will he found to answer, and less than this should not be accent ed, where circumstances permit its being obtained. Not only is then positive safety of the train secured by such a signal, but the nerve and steadiness of tae engine-driver are supported by the feeling that the means of protection are provided for him. Care should bo taken to fix the signal so that no distant objects may interfere with the free sight of it, and as the speed, weight, and 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 aga i nst by caution is left to cont i ngency . Some difference has existed among railway managers, as g to the mod e o f dealing withsignalsat junctions with branch li nes. It has, however, been generally ruled, that th e sa f est 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 until such signal be removed. The safety of the train moving between stations, and temporarily impeded from any cause, depends o n t h e 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. Prob ably the latter is too far, unless the distance termi nates in a curve, as a ha:;cl signal may be seen, under ordinary circumstances, from 300 to 500 yards further. Nothing is more difficult, however, than to secure strict obedience to this rule, and the most particular attention should attach to any breach of it. Upon it hinges the safety of the train, and the fact of an accident happening should not be a bar to the most severe punishment of the offending - party- A careful guard will also be guided by the stuth of the rails and the atmosphere. It the former are 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 collisi on durin g a fo g . The detonatin g signal nal supplied this deficiency, and has become one of the most useful protections which the railway manager p osse sses. 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 recen t d ense 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 n ecessarily worked entirely by the detonating i The experiment was successful ; and although irregularities were very frequent, 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 e ssent i a l ele ment in their safety, and whenever an accident occur. the press and public opinion, as expressed through a jury, seize on this point as the primary cause of the naishisp. The author would by no means undervalue the import ance of punctuality, and as rigid an adherence as possible to the published time-tables, but it may he doubted whe ther undue stress has not been attached to it. Under a well-regulated system of signals, and with 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 of trains produces safety, by the continual vigilance it neces sitates, and as few accidents occur iu the 'neat busy tho roughfare of London, so the most crowded part of a rail way exhibits the greatest freedom from casualty. It ie fortunate, indeed, that the public safety is not necessarily linked with punctuality, for the extension of the system, and the connection with cro ss lines, by coaches and steam-boats, is daily importing 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 ; during its pas sage it connects with a great number of rail wa y s , t h e irregularities of each and all of which become multiplied as the train advances. When, therefore, it reaches the London and North-Western line, it has probably misses: 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. Toe faci lity of working a trunk railway with a heavy traffic under the variations alluded to, has, however, beer, greatly pro moted by the introduction end exieusive use of the elec tric telegraph. Just as the demands on the railway system were beginning to outgrow its existin g machinery for safety, this remarkable power came to its aid, and extended its capacity in an incalculable degree. Defective breaks and fractures of coupling ou steep inclines have not unfrequently led to accident, yet the working of the Lickey incline is evidence of the safety of the system, if only ordinary care and caution are exer cised. More than one accident has arisen from trees fall ing across the rails. Care should therefore be taken to re move all that are likely to bo affected by storms, or by the slipping of the ground. Trains have been occas i on ally thrown off the rails by cattle jumping out in the transit, and some narrow escapes have occurred in consequence. Level crossings are also a fruitful source of danger if they are ed A sad catalogue net very carefully watch of deaths, a; these crossings, will b© found in the parliamentary returns, and their ivereeeing number indicates the ne cessity for greater vigilance, or a change of practice. Lastly, reference must be made to the tendency of Par . lament, in went goakioue, to extend what are towed " 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 ex'tcurives using the same line of rails, and unacquainted with its peculiarities? The regulations of most companies have now a very general similarity of principle, modified by the circum wances 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, and human nature is fallible, it is to be feared that although experience aid skill may diminish, they will not prevent, the recurrence of events that startle society, and cast blame on railway management. i'hs 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 increasing nature of the transit renders such casualties possible at any moment. In the year ISSI, during which 7,900,000 passengers (nearly one-third of the population of Eng land), travelled on the Londor and North-Western Rail .way, only one individual met its death—yet this casualty, frourwhich the author also suffered, was the effect of the gravest disobedience of maws. The exception proves the rule, and it is due to the engine-drivers and guards of Great Britain to state this; there is probably no class of men to whom such serioxs 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 forraing good and attentive servants. Inebriety, ; should Jeerer, under any circumstances, be Overlookort or'pardined, 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 conduct ; and experience has clearly shown, that, in general, better results have been obtained by rewarding obalience 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 system, with all its admitted de instrument for advancing the social position of the country, the t e h re e ifi r e s s if n w o sY light influence; and although the benefits are n3t unmixed with evil, the advantages are purchased at a less coat of personal suffering and sacri fice than (looking at the conditions under which they are obtained) might reasonably be expected. THE MURDER IN RUE VIVIENNE, PARIS. - (From Galignant s Messenger.) Great sensation was caused in August last, by the murder ofa young Spanish woman, named Doleres Perez, in the Bue Vivienne, Paris, and b . y the subsequent arrest of the murderer, a young Spaniard, named Valen tine Navarro y Perez. The Court of Assires was on Thursday and Friday last occupied in trying this man. He is 23 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 1352,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 , a n d went to reside in a small apartment, Ne. 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 character. On the lilt of Angust, Navarro 6 rived 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 hits. Navarro afterwards hired a room at No. 23, rue Sr. Nicholas d'Antin, for five days, and paid fur it in trivance. 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 nom •d San Pallai, , , and an unmarried young woman, named Rosa Mauri. These two women went away almost directly, leaving Dolores. Rom she and the prisoner were calm, though the latter expressed regret ec having to return to Spain alone. Shortly after the two women had lett, Mal. La folie, the keeper of the hotel, fancied she heard a strange noise, as of a person suffering, in Navarro's room; :Ind 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 se en lying .dead on the ground if just, before it, in a pool o f blood, as , afterld of it havins ben stabbed, she had attemp ted tograsp ho. her hand, breast, and bead wero 18 wounds; and the right head was literally fastened to the shoulder by a sword cane sticking through it. This sword had been plunged with such for ce that it was difficult to remove it. One of the stabs in the head had been so violent that the point of the s word was brokenoff. Some of the wou nds had been inflic ted b y a poniard knife. One of them in the breast reached the 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 locks, ordered him away. lie then went to the residence of a . fellow countryman named Lima, rue Lamartine, 39. He told him that he had just arrived from Spain, was hed 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 do 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_priamer said, I could not leave i'aris without some assurance of being again united to Dolores. I begged of Mdlle. Rosa Mauri to go to her and get an assurance from her that we should ag fin live together. She went, accompanied, by Mde. San Palleice 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 mo. She afterwards asked me to convey a letter for her to her sister. After she had spoken to mo in that way I felt something warm in me which 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 circumstances. he prisoner was theref ore sentenced to imprisonment T for life with hard labour. Ho received his sentence with seeming indifference.

[PRIC E SD. LETTER FROM MR. HUME-PARLIAIIIEII - REFORM-THE BALLOT.

Barnley Hal!, 04 19, 1852. T 3 THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l have read with attention ) our articles in the Times of the 16th and 13th inst., in which you allude °oat to my past conduct in Parliament, and also to some late correspondence of mine on public questions which at this time engage the attention of millions of the people; and as you appear to have mi.understood my statements, as well t‘ith regard to my vie Ats of the past as with re gard to the selection of the _Ballot alone as a point at union fur Reformers at the present juncture, I am in tamed to offer the foituwing explanation:— With respect to the first point, I can assure you that 1 am not " one of those worthies woo, at the close ui their have lamented the scant fruit of their labours." the contrary, when I look back on the course iu which, since 1818, .1 have been engaged ; when I compare the state of the public accouuts and of the representation, of the public establishments and of the country generally ut that period, with their condition now ; when I take into account the great improvements in our financial system; in the repieeeetattun as affected by the Reform Bill of 1831.2; the introduction of comparative economy and retrenchment in all branches of the public expendi ture, and the vast beuefits conferred on the country 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" wnich has attended the efforts of 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 tar beyond what I could have anticipated when first, and often al most alone, I directed my efforts agaiest the abuses which I regretted to detect iu our constitutional system, however insufficient as yet for the entire removal of them, afford ample encouragement to advocate such further re torms 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 tnat 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 is ad m itt e d by all Reformers to be defective, I em, 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, bo 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 Huh 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. 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 accouet, and to avoid making various separate motions, I have included it in my annual motion fur "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 full 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 spike of forming a stronger party to assume the Ballot alone as a bond of union. I disclaim the inter pretation of anyteliug I may have said or written. The Ballot alone would never make the House of Commons teat democratic portion of our institutions which it thecretically is, end ought practically to be. Deeming vote by Ballot a eeeeszary protection to the voter, I shall always heartily support any member b) whom it may be separately proposed, as I have said to Mr Berkeley, its able and strenuous advocate in the last Parliament; iulerming him, however, that I would not he a member of soy separate association to promote the Bal 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 Ba lot. More pariieularly so a separate as sociation is unnecessary, as that entitled, The IVational Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association, at 41, Chai my cross, was formed to promote that plan ut reform, along with the other measures for reform in cluded in the motion I have brought fer several years before Parliameut, 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 in Ireland, wuere 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 tree 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 details :—The reser voir of tar was 50 feet long and 5 feet wide, and the machines and engines were stationed at equal distances. On the reservoir 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 seconds ; three men being employed to work the machines, one man to assist in carrying; total, four no n employed. The same re 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 cut the fire with the water engines, due allowance must be made with regard to the time also, as the men I were already assembled, and the engines wore 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 of 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 when the gas was ordered to be applied was preserved, and in two or three minutes the whole of the embers inside the building were completely extinguished, showing the greatly-increased power of the gas when even only par tially confined, as in the case in this wooden erection. 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 might remain between the joints of the boards. The whole of the experiments were considered, we believe, to be completely co nclusive as to the great value and efficiency of the maehine,,sn h ; and the astonishing manner in which the gas coo l s do clears the temperature, and the rapidity wit away the smoke, at elute prove the greawt value and wari m penance of the machines on board our ships , where the smoke and heat in a fire below deck most frequently prevent all access to the root of. nt t l h m e e fir . e, and pre ude means being used for its extinguishment. ANCHOVIES AND THEIR ADULTERATIONS. The Lancet gives the result of the investigation of the Ana lytical Sanitary Commission into the composition of " Anchovies," as vended in the metropolis. Easing analysed 28 samples, the following conclusion has been arrived at :—Tbat seven of the samples consisted en tirely of Dutch fish. That two of the samples consisted of is mixture of Dutch fish and anchovies. That the brine in 23 of the samples was charged with either bole Armenian or Venetian red, the quantity varying con siderably in amount ; but in most cases the brine was saturated with these earthy powders to such an extent that they might be obtained and collected from the bottom of the bottles almost by tea spoonfuls. The commissioners add—" It is no t to be inferred that those samples in which no Dutch fish were detected consisted of the true anchovy, s i nce we have ascertained that two other kinds of fish best • des the Dutch are com monly import e d, and sold real Gorgonas s 'true anchovies,' and French and Sicilian fish. A further investigation established the fact, that not ono-third of the 2S samples examined consisted of %:aggis wit:hotel, 4 '4 , Direct Trains from the Boats marked t Omnibuses from Fencharch-street Station to all parts of London a very quarter of an hour.

Woods, the coroner for West Su - - trey, and a numerous jury, assem bl e d t oget h er at the Parley Mow Tavern, Inglefield-green, Egham, for the tf., o pa r , pose of inquiring into the circumstances connected with the death of M. 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 vies 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:— Mr. Hayward, surgeon, of Egham, deposed that on. Tuesday afternoon he was passing along Priesea-hill cra horseback, and on coming to a gate communicating wiala 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 in the field. The petlsoa 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 as. to the cause of the duel. A ball had passed through 0 0 body and came out ou th e r i g h t side. There were tyro persons on the ground, but ho saw three others, 'rho inquired the road to Windsor. After the decerAsed rallied a little, he directed him to be removed. He put no questions to him, nor did he to witness. He understood that the name of one of thn persons he taw was Barthreney. He remained with the deceased tilj fire o'clock, and he remained sensible (luring that pa. riod. He made no eDnatuunicition to ai m , exe , p , 04it he felt cold end was in pain. He did not see hire alone after that. He returned at halt-past six, and found hi m dead. Aliane, another of the persons, was in the room during the time he was present, but nothing passed b e _ tween them. He had since the deceased's death made post mortem examination, and he bad no hesitation i aL saying that the wound was the cause of death. Francis Farquarson—On Tuesday last he saw several foreigners who came down by the train. They were la 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 Adana di.d Ere. They all walked up the hill afterwards. He thGught 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 sumo of the parties since. About halt'-past one he saw three of the parties, who appeared to have been walks ing in mud and grass. He went to Datehet with them, and had some bread and cheese there. One of them hisd 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 wftw no firearms of any description about them, but they might have had firearms. One of them was a fine stoat man, "almost as fine and stout as you, Mr. Chairman." (Laughter.) _ Several other witnesses spoke to baying 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. He 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 o n that evening. He parted with him in the evening. Nothing particular occurred in conversation that he could state. The Coroner—You are bound to tell the whole truth., The witness added—Deceased told him that he wet 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 eonsequssees. Witness—l shall hear them. The Coroner—Do I understand that you positively 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 diet not tell me when or where the duel was to take place. I did not see him after the Sunday night. The Curoner (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. lie observed them particularly from their manner and appearance. They took places is 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 foreigners were at the Waterloo road station, and one of them came up to him and offered hint a sovereign to let one of the parties go away. He did not, however, do so. One of the parties got out be :ore he came to the station. Tee missing party was a irequeuter of Vauxhall-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 Towu-hall the previous day. Mr. Biddlecorube, the superintendent of police, pro duced the various articles found on the persons, which were published yesterd ty. In answer to the Coroner, witness said the flattened bullet had not been wtighed to see whether it corres ponded with the other bullets found. Mary Day said that she had been in attendance at this house and had laid the body out since death. She was not prescnt when he died. She found, as she was removing the body, a leaden ball between 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 yeara 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 identifyi ng th em as p ersons w h o h a d b ee n 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 _w next, brought th forward as one and the fifth of the part y . corm:dclY od the duel, tho inquiry was adjourned until Tue and the jury were bound over to app ear on t hat dayo further investigate the case. The accounts that have already appeared respecting this fatal reoontre are in many points incorrect. There now appears to have been no i foundation for the state ment that the duel originated n a quar rel respecting a lady. It is no w admitted that the original quarrel re spected a political difference ; and, singularly enough, both the parties were under the ban of th e p resent go verning power in France ; nor would it be easy for a n Englishman to comprehend what could be the differ ence between them The deceased man, we are in formed, was a friend and partisan of Ledra Rollin—his antagonist was a follower of Louis Blanc. With regard to that antagoni s t, we may state that, though four men are now in custody on account of thi s d ue l, it is gene rally believed that the person who fired the shot is not among them. The quarrel in which the duel originated seems to have been an affair of at least some days' stand 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 other s were brought down in custody, but also from the state. ment of M. Maquet, a Franck gentleman, who volli a . teered to give evidence before the coroner yesterday, and who stated that the to ld decea:ed l tended duel when th ey d i n ed t o g ether on h Sundayta evening.
