Wii:taretraaelled.,:e nigh the pages with the utmost deli g ht a ail - es:may-serve s'` have pored over them, and have closed'ith, book wialle'la mingled feelings of pleasure and pain—pleasure, because the articles evince, without an exception, much interest and much literary taste; showing that the factory girls of that portion of the new world, at least, have acquired, doubtless amidst the many difficulties and obstacles which ever beset the career of those destined to labour for their bread, an education of which the highest ladies in the land would not feel ashamed—nay, rather pleased, to possess, and ready to acknowledge that they possess it; and pain, because the lives of the factory walkers of Lowell present so flattcring a contrast to their icompeers us_ b s ; theirodv a compeers pee l r aou sbiru body here and' h d the midst of us ; their coinpeers in body and la hour alone —;their elevated superiors in every thing that can adorn woman. TLe Lowell worker is rt fined of the dross—the coarseness, the levity, and un chastity of the Lancashire worker. When a e say re fined, we do not mean that she adopts the manners— the vulgar affectation—of the weak, who, not having qualities, either of mind or heart, to individualise them amongst the crowd of nonentities in which they tinove, render themselves attractive, if not absolutely t c h u tt lo t u t t y by p - a es ir s s eis .uns e ir - tbes to e humanity.NO, we mean of a good sensible off springteqetriaalliteiedsuewaitiiiocuh:erestohtecniyout of the small wages of a factory worker do they support their ordinary exigences, dress neatly, not ex travagantly, and place money in tho:savings• bank, and help their struggling . friends whom they have left be hind, but they have built a chapel and endowed it; an Athenaeum, and filled its tables and its shelves with the choicest productions of the human mind—the lights of this great country, and of their own —of which it is the prototype. We have always been of opinion that our Englishwomen occupy a false position: to coin a new phrase, they are not sufficiently masculinefor the land they live in; they might be Vex more inde pendent of that horrid creature man than they now arse. Women here are taught absolutely nothing of how, should they be thrown upon their own resources, they might provide for themselves. Some can sew and some can teach, but the majority are but indifferent adepts in either branch of the only decent occupations to which women can be employed here. This is not as it should be. Where all women can sew, the mass of sewers must be wretchedly underpaid, and where all women can teach, the same result must follow. Wherever the sup ply is greater than the demand, as in the world of com merce, competition must cheapen and reduce, and over done competition must end in the misery if not the, ruin of some. It is the inscrutable law of nature. Bat this would not be so were women taught some light, yet use- Ail. era- a.;Esessisig4t- subsistenCit•by anxineans„ so long as they be honest, cannot, hi the, estimation of the wise., detract from the character of woman. If this were so, depend upon it we should not elbOw so matajc wretched women in Fleet-street and the Strand. Want of dress, vanity, and a lack of the means of obtaining food and a home, drive thousands of our - English women to prostitute their bodies for the means of preserving existence. God help them! Our readers will therefore agree with us when we say that :women are only be ginning to take that elevated position which their Maker intended them to occupy. It is now conceded on all hands that sufficient facilities do not exist for the proper education of women of the middle rank—more especially of those destined to become the instructors of the young. The qualities necessary for a governess to possess may have 'been set down—the possession of such a host of accomplishments" have been usually desired, that we have often wondered if a woman was over found possessing all in an equally efficient degree; but no definite test has been applied. The male collegian can produce his diploma ; but the govern ness can merely state her qualifications, and trust to your generosity for credence. She wants bread—she has relations dependant upon her—all their available means have been exhausted in giving her accomplish ments, which are often but poorly acquired after all, and she naturally exaggerates. Under a better system, in deed, the same plan applied with so much success to the instruction of males, certifying the amount of their qua lifications, the governess would become better adapted for the great task which it is her province to discharge. Hence, we hail the establishment of of an institution of this kind with feelings of delight, as through itsrtiid the governesses of England will occupy a defined status, which they have never yet done. We allude to the Queen's College (so named by royal permission) for female education, and for granting certificates of quali fication to governesses. The class wil, however, be open to all ladies above twelve years of age. Already a num ber of classes have been formed, under able teachers, and lectures upon topics of the most vital importance are periodically delivered.—James Irving Scott, in the Re porter and Benevolent Societies Chronicle.

Mr. Alderman GRAY seconded the nomination. A signal was then passed from the hustings to th, crowd that the Rev. Joseph Barker was about to be put in nomination, when a deafening burst of cheers, accom panied by waving of hats and caps took place. Mr. FLITCROFT then, from the opposition side of the hustings, said it was a- very singular thing that then were no candidates present. One they had sent to pri son, and he did not know. whether the other was drowned or not. Be thought it was now quite time to stop both Whigs and Tories from riding rampant over the peopl, so much as they had done; and he was glad to see sc many people assembled there of the same opinion. 11, begged to propose the Rev.

CELIBACY. —Singleness is not always the eon. sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred ,conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations ; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instanc , s where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign Its object to that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which his affianced would be plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the' other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened 'as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have more than sue printery source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes:—namely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and ke fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled MANHOOD ; the Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for Perfeet Restoration, &c., &c. This eminent Work, which is forwarded by W. Strange, Beookseller, 21, Patnernoeter row, London, post-paid, in a sealed envelope for 2s. 6d., in postage stamps, has saved thousands, and the result of its perusal has in variably been a restoration of the reader to his position as a useful mem er of society. The MAYOU then took a jamw-4-o' , baatia_to r r i Mr. Ste. • ph.n Blair. A coniiaerable'numter were he up, but nothing like the foiest of hands that was afterwards raised for Barker. A second show, however was taken, after which the Mayor said, I have now to declare the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. Joseph Barker. A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. S. Blair. and the Mayor adjourned the nomination to Thursda) morning. _ GAS LIGHT—CLEAR as a BRILLIANT. The power of Gas-light, and its simplicity recommend it ; but to burn Gas`wltholit" injury to health, is the grand object.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this gulden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison In the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. llow is it that men of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar , and' after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness.

REVIEW OF TIM WORE. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Matnrity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to sna tch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted froth the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in th e hands of his bo y . By n taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

FATAL -ACCIDENT.—BIRMINGHAM, TUESDA.Y.—A poor **(Man, named Anderton, met with her death yes terday, about twelve o'clock, on the London and North- Western Railway, at Stithford, a few miles south of this town. It appears that she and her son were about to proceed by the up-train to London, and for that purpose bbe took her place at the station in question. The noise of a train approaching caused her to run out of the sta tion-house, and cross the line, supposing it to be the train by which she was about to proceed to town. Un• happily ppipnisleecyd.a,ldit proved to be the express down-train, by which, o n attempting to cross the line, she was knocked down an d killed on the s p ot. The train was immediatel y and the body o f the deceased carried b y the river, and Ch a p man the guard, into the house. of her head was completely cutand she was in other respects greatly injured. Her son, as may be conceived, was greatly distressed.

Six weeks afterwards the skipper oast anchor off the island of Rassay, about 100 miles from Lochbroom, and again resumed his placatory employment. Among the remits of his labours was a large codfish, which was speedily unhooked and thrown upon the deck; and, to the utter amazement of the skipper, the poor cod, when in the last agonies of death, vomited up his bunch of keys. The parchment being partly preserved, proved his property beyond a doubt. At the same time, as if conscience-stricken, it disgorged a penknife belonging to a brother skipper, on which his initials were engraved. It is a remarkable circumstance that this fish, in its migratory course, should arrive at.the same spot where the sloop was, se,. crificing its life, and with its last breath discharging an act of honesty that would have honoured a higher grade or species of animals.—Grenock Advertiser. , COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business. THE SOLITARY SYSTEM. Alderman SIDNEY, when the Sheriffs made their usual return relating to the prisoners of the city, took the opportunity to ask a question on a subject of consi derable public interest. He had seen in the newspapers under the head of " Meeting of Middlesex Magistrate', a speech attributed to Sir Peter Laurie, which he could not persuade himself was by any means an accurate report of that magistrate's observations. It appeared to him to be a matter of the more importance that the actual truth should be elicited as the Court was about to expend 100,000/. in the erection of a new prison, and he should indeed be sorry to see the solitary system intro duced into that prison, if the statements attr ibuted to Sir P. Laurie were founded on facts; but he found that in the published report of the state of Bethlehem Hospital there was nothing at all to give countenance to the re presentation which be would read as Fart of Sir Peter Laurie's speech:—" If they wanted a proof of the ill effects of that baneful system, let him tell them that, since the year 1843, not fewer than 49 convict lunatics had been sent to Bethlehem Hospital every one of whom had fallen a victim to the inhuman system of solitary confinement. Of those poor unhappy victims 19 had been sent from the Milbank prison, 10 from the Model prison at Pentonville„ and not fewer than 20 had come from the hulks. All criminal lunatics were sent to the hospital with which it was well known he had been for many years associated. Whilst, however, they had received 49 from these Government prisons, where the solitary system was practised, how many did the Court suppose had been sent from all the other prisons in Eng land? Not more than 6." Now, to that statement the report gave a decided negative. so that he could not sup pose that what he had just read was by any means an accurate version of Sir P. Laurie's speech. He was de sirous to know also whether Sir P. Laurie would have any objection to lay before the Court an account of the names of the persons confined as Government prisoners, of the prisons from which they were transferred to Bethlehem, and other particulars which might be neces sn to lead to an authentic conclusion on a point of so serious a -(8r; bear.) • --- - • Sir P. LAURIE said he certainly had spoken every word of the speech attributed to him, and every word in that speech was true. If he had supposed that Alder man Sidney would have required to see the document establishing the facts, he would' have brought it down to the Court for his satisfaction; and if the worthy Alder man would visit Bethlehem Hospital with him all doubt would be at once removed upon the subject.—(Hear, hear.) He could not, however, for a moment consent to make a return of the names, &c., of the persons sent by the Government to the hospital without the authority of the Government itself.—(Hear, hear.) The worthy Alderman might have moved for such return in the House of Commons; but he could not help observing that Hon. Members who made a great noise in all other places were as mute as mice the moment they took their places in Parliament.—(Laughter, and cries of " Hear.") Alderman SlDNEY—Parliament was not sitting when you made the statement. Sir P. LAURIE said he had long before made similar statements. He had seen with his own eyes the manner in which the solitary system had been carried out at the Penitentiary at Millbank. Its effects were inde scribably horrible; and he had lately been informed, by a witness of unquestionable credibility, that Sir. J. Mackintosh and Sir J. Anstruther had, after an expe riment of its operation at Bombay, been obliged to withdraw it.—(Hear, hear.) Such was found to be the effect of the atrocious system, that no prisoners were now sent to the Pentonville Penitentiary who were not in vigorous health and strength, and he was glad to have the opportunity of expressing again his abhorrence of a plan which was calculated to add madness to the' other penalties of crime.—(Hear.) Alderman HUMPHERY said he thought it would have been advisable in Alderman Sidney to visit Bethlehem Hospital, and to have inquired of the officers there whether the statements made by Sir Peter Laurie were incorrect before he came down to the Court to give them contradiction. If such inquiry had beeu made it would probably have been found that there was but too much ground for the representation.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman SIDNEY said he had visited Bethlehem Hospital for the purpose of obtaining the information which he had applied to the Court to procure, but he bad encountered there the difficulty wh ich he had just met with from the president. His opinion was by no means altered on the subject; on the contrary, the ob jection which bad been made tended to confirm instead of removing it. He considered that the statements which bad been made could not be borne out by evi dence, and if Parliament were sitting, he certainly would not hesitate to apply for documents calculated to enlighten the public on the question. Sir P. LAURIE said he could not for a moment re cognise the power in the Court to call for any docu ments connected with the hospital, as such recognition would be a virtual acknowledgment of an authority which did not exist. THU BUSINESS 01 THE CENTRAL cniliftwAL COURT. Alderman LAWRENCE wished to know whether any thing had been done as to the erection of a third court in the Old Bailey, for the purpose of expediting the business of the Central Criminal Court. It was quite evident that there was occasion for an additional court. Objections had, he understood, been raised upon the ground of enormous expense, but he believed that ade quate accommodation could be afforded without any prodigal outlay, and he was sure that • the ex pense to the country would be considerably dimi nished by giving additional facilities to the administra tion of justice. Sir P. LAURIE said he apprehended the cause of the delay was to be attributed to the disposition in some parties interested in the projected accommodation to have a building of a very classical, and therefore very expensive character. The city of London did not want any fine display in a new court, and he thought the Court ought to come to an understanding as soon as pos• sible on the question. t d i t o ihs n e. of rwaUnanimouslyTtetc ahh Aldermanhteeoei London report e tpnpheorexpediency eoellnay criminalLAWßENCEgnotriheot eondb:building snolo t id. h dmni then gs moved , a notherc., b e t c h o r a u e t f r e t t r h f r o e e r d q t u h t e o e s General Purposes Committee. th u e nic r a e t p io o n rt s o r f e t s h p e ec c ti o ng oam t i h: sioner of Police thereon, were ordered to lie on the table. THE CITY ON LONDON GREENYARD. A. petition was presented from the owners of carts, &e., in the city of London, praying that the Court would cause the excessive charges of the greenyard to be reduced, and that the drivers should be made amenable for their misconduct. The petition stated that if a policeman took off a cart and horse from the street and lodged them in the greenyard, upon any pretence what ever, the price of their redemption amounted in every instance to the sum of 135.. 6d. Alderman LAWENCE took the opportunity which the presentation of this petition afforded to allude to the abuses which existed with respect to the penalties the greenyard was appointed to carry into effect. He had met with cases in his magisterial capacity in which there was no excuse whatever for the conduct of policemen and other persons in making prisoners of men who had driven horses through the streets under the pretence that cruelty was inflicted upon the animals. (Here Alderman Lawren ce adverted to a case which had re cently come before h im, and which he had dischar ge d .) He more particularly noticed the activit y of the p olice inenns establish bringingn cased a o ts m he a p yrt l a a i ts n h t 3e s s . ofp6r do., cruelty tfia ntdo the policeman in every in many instances there before the magistracy, was nothing like cruelty proved. It seemed, however, that the accidental rubbing off of an old scab was quite evidence enough in the minds of some to constitute cruelty, and off the horse was taken to the greenyard, and off the driver was taken to prison, to suffer the penalty attached to the alleged offence.—(Hear, hear.) It was a very extraordinary thing if the traffic of London could not be carried on without resorting to so harsh and un just an expedient, and he hoped the committee, to which he had no doubt the petition would be referred, would raise the question.-(Hear, hear.) He considered it to be a very tyrannical proceeding to apprehend, as a thief would be apprehended, the driver of a cart loaded with goods, because the horse had a sore which might have been occasioned by an accident or exertion on the very day of detection. He had observed several occasions of the kind of which he did not at all' approve, and he should, therefore, move that the whole question be taken into consideration by the c ommittee.—(Hear.) Alderman SIDNEY approved of- the motion, but thought the conduct of the police, as described by Al derman Lawrence, ought to be represented to the Com missioner. The motion was then carried unanimously. Adjourned. Ax INDIAN EXECUTION.—The New Orleans Cres cent of August 8 says, that "on last Saturday night, at Mandeville, on the other side of the Lake Pontchartrain, an Indian murdered an Indian, by stabbing him with a large knife. A son of the murdered man immediately gave information to two of the tribe, and they took the offender into custody. On Sunday morning a court, composed of ten Indians, was formed to hear the case and pass sentence. The proofs were most conclusive, and the prisoner was at once condemned to death. Whereupon he was measured, his grave marked out, and he himself set to work digging it. When the grave was finished, a rifle was placed in the hands of the murdered Indian's son for the purpose of doing the execution. At the first shot death was not produced ; the second shot also took effect, but did not kill, and the stoical violator of innocent life fell into his grave, and was there finally killed, and covered with earth as he lay. The court that had condemned him then took their own instrument of justice into custody, and started off for the purpose of delivering him to the civil authorities of Covington, to obtain his final discharge as an innocent man." WALEING INTO THE LION'S MOUTII.-011 Tues day afternoon as an officer of the excise was passing through Wingham, during the flower show, b e was accosted by a person who asked him to purchase " some good tobacco. Half a pound was accordingly bar gained for, and changed hands, but in a few minutes afterwards the unlucky vendor was handed over to the p h a is ris t h ri a c l o 't forsta bl violation , and co of n consigned d excise to Sandwich laws. gaolto take —Canterbury Jpurnct/. CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday a Court of Sewers for the city of Londop was held at the office in the Guildhall. Mr. Deputy Peacock occupied the chair, and then was a numerous attendance of Commissioners, as it wai anticipated that the report of the engineers, Messrs. Walker, Cubitt, and Brunel, would be submitted to the Court. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, The CHAIRMAN said be was glad to inform them that the report of the eminent engineers who had been appointed to examine the sewers of the city of London had been received, and that in the course of a few days it would be printed in elites°. He was happy to state that the report was of a most favourable character, and fully proved that their sewers were in the excellent state which they had represented them to be.—(Hear, hear.) The abstract of the report, which had already been published, had greatly assisted them in obtaining their new Act (the City of London Sewers Act), which was to come into operation in January next, for they had found very little difficulty in the matter, when they were once enabled to show that the reports which had been circulated against them were without foun dation.—(Hear, hear.) In obtaining that Act he thought that they bad conferred a great benefit, not only upon the city Of London, but upon the whole country, for they had succeeded in defeating the attempt to take away all local authority. He con gratulated the Court most sincerely upon the passing of that measure, and he was sure that everything that could be done by the new Commissioners to be ap pointed, with the view of facilitating the objects which they all so much desired, would be done.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded by moving that a select committee of thr members of that Court,should be appointed to carry out the provisions of the Act. Mr. Deputy BRIDGE saw no use in the appointmen of a committee. It would be their duty to do that which the Act directed, and the committee could make them do either more or less. Mr. Alderman LAwnurTon oftia prnhably the new Act would require many alterations in the commission. At present they did not know what number they were to have, how often they were to meet, what was to be the course of their proceedings, or, in fact, anything about it. The Act was a most voluminous one, containing up wards of 200 clauses, and he thought it most essential that they should have the assistance of a preliminary inquiry by a committee to guide them in their proceed iugs.—(Hear, hear.) After some further discussion, the appointment of a committee of nine was agreed to, three to form a quorum. A vote of thanks was then passed to the members of the select committee, to the Lord Mayor, and to those members of the House of Commons who had supported the Bill in its passage through the House. Mr. flaw s the Chief Clerk, read a letter from the Metropolitan Court of Sewers Commissioners, r quest ingeuet- that the City Commissioners would a pp oint their body to sit with them upon the Metropolitan Sur vey Committee. A very lengthened discussion ensued upon this point, in which Mr. Kemp, Mr. Alderman Lawrence, Mr. H. L. Taylor, Mr. Blake, and the Chairman took part, and it was ultimately referred to a select committee to con sider and report upon. Mr. Gore, the well-known dust contrac tor, s ummoned for permitting his men to sw ee p mud down the public gulleys in the City.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.— The reports from the west coast of Africa are highly encouraging to the advocates of the block ading system. The Devastation has returned with a living commander, and the Dolphin has just captured a prize with 500 negroes aboard.' Both these assuring 'acts, however, are somewhat qualified by incidents! cir cumstances. The commander of the Devastation is but the representative of two unhappy victims who have been carried off, and before the 500 negroes could be re leased from their captivity they were decimated by the long 32-pounders of their redeemers. We hope our readers will considerately muse upon the facts our intel ligence supplied. The Devastation—a highly respect -able steamer, whose first mission was the carrying out s bishop and a large cargo of rockets to the coast of Syria—only remained on the coast of Africa 18 short months, the rest of her time being :pent on more fortunate stations. During these Ireadful months, however, she plied about between the Bights and Fernando Po—that is to say, from the nose deadly sea to the most pestiferous land which the universe is known to contain. We have described the Bights and their tributary rivers often enough, and cer •ainly no land could ever have been selected so appro priately as Fernando Po for a consistent and congenial rendezvous. It was once part of our " system" to main !Ain a " settlement" there; but as this much-debated term, even in its widest latitude, implies the continuous existence of certain living creatures on the spot, the idea was abandoned as impracticable, though of course with treat reluctance, and amidst the loud murmurs of the philanthropists. People who have seen this island, and lived, describe it as a spot more externally beautiful than imagination can conceive. From the beach to the highest mountain ridges there is one unbroken xpanse of magnificent every-varying verdure, though ebat_is beneath this surface nobody can say, as the brushwood of these gorgeous forests is quite impene trable. At this insidious spot we cleared a square mile or two on a little plateau, hoisted the British flag, and compounded a few score of settlers out of soldiers, seamen, and emigrants. Thirty mechanics landed in November (the healthy month), 1827, of :whom five Only - were found alive by thee.F.den (ihe.,eveesel which in seven months lost 110 men out orIM ih the succeeding June. Fifty-eight marines and mechanics, including officers and women, landed in June, 1829, of whom, in the October following, only four had escaped. Another party came from St, Helena in 1830, and a lieutenant of marines actually exported himself, a wife, and six children, to try the chances of the climate. But if all these scarcely one survived; and at length, about 1833, the settlement, that is to say the hospital and burying-ground, was given up as a Government establishment, though, how any Administration found itself strong enough to make such a " sacrifice of prin ciple" appears, after the debates we have lately heard, surprising enough. Few persons, however, will wonder that the Devastation lost two commanders in eighteen , nonths between this fairy isle and the Bight of Benin. rhe chase of the Pensainento contains incidents highly nstructive to the " friends of the African." The slaver had 500 negroes closely stowed under hatches, and being a fast-sailing schooner she led our cruiser a chase of no less than twelve hours. During all this time the Dolphin was training her long 32's at so fair a mark, and letting drive at her whenever she came within range. Ffty shots were fired, of which forty-seven told well. We recommend to all friends of " humanity" this picture of a cruiser discharging the very identical duty in which philanthropists have dispatched her, and pelt ing her round shot into a vessel as full of human crea tures as those strange wicker machines represented in pictures of Druidical sacrifices. Sometimes, indeed, the -esult of this practice gives the surest test of a slaver. Not unfrequently, while skimming off at the top of their :peed, they used to disguise their calling by all manner if expedients to throw the pursuers off the scent, but the !rash of a single shot seat home would bo followed by a long piercingyell, which rose high into the air, and brought across the waters infallible evidence of the character of the chase. Occasionally, of course, the prize escapes, as was 'early being the case in the present instance, so that the lecisions of Exeter-hall and the money of the English people serve merely to diversify the horrors of the middle passage by sending a few cannon-balls amongst the victims between decks. Sometimes a single shot may finish the business, and sink ship , slaves, an all, in the deep. When we add to the aggravations of the ..ransit notoriously caused by our system, these pleasant :ontingencies of an English broadside, it. is really mough to suggest a few misgivings as to the effective less of our humanity. The point with which - we origi tally opened this question—the claims, namely, of our iwn seamen to some of that consideration which we so lavishly bestow upon the population of Ashantee— ias been of late so disingenuously evaded that we again ?lace before our readers the official report of the ex oenses, reckoned in human blood, of our systematic ha unity, and we recommend that it should be preserved is a pendant to those returns of more remediable " wear Lnd tear" for which Mr. flume judiciously inquires. Ile average mortality of 21 years on the different iaval stations of the English service is as follows, celeu ateel per 1,000 of the =can fln - vc ploy.a ! SOU t h America ••• ••• ••• • 7 7 Mediterranean ... 9 . 3 Home ••• ••• ••• ••• 9.8 East India ••• •-• 15.1 West Indies ..• 18.1 Coast of Africa ••• .. 58.4 —(Report on the Climate and D:seases of the African Station, p. 178). Independent; - however, of 'this mortality, which is reckoned from disease alone, and of that permanent loss ,f health, which, though not reckoned as death, is nearly -quivalent to it, there are other liabilities incidental to his agreeable station which are by no means to be dis regarded. Much of the service is boat service, and in his boat service it is constantly necessary to cross the bars" formed by alluvial deposits at the mouths of the various rivers. The utmost skill is often insufficient to prevent the swamping of the boat in these expeditions, and as the surf is so violent as to baffle the hardiest swimmers, and the sharks aro so numerous and vigilant es to give few swimmers any chance at all, it follows hat the deaths from drowning and devouring, as re turned in the report, are almost equal to those from all natural diseases together on more favoured stations. Now, we request dispassionate readers to ask themselves what they actually get for their money? Surely this question is a fair one. The disciples of Exeter Hall get chat satisfaction which is derivable from the simple re flection that they are persisting in certain - sacrifices, and we do not say that the sacrifices may not be considered proportionately greater and more meritorious when there is no kind of return. But what do those get who demand a more substantial quid pro quo ? Do they get the stoppage of the traffic ? It is admitted on all hands to have increased. Do they get a mitigation of the hor rors attending it ? These, also, as far as the mere fact goes, are admitted likewise on all hands to have in creased. Do they g e t a p rospect o f b et t er suc cess ? This is what the advocates of the system anticipate, and what nine-tenths of the officers employed have reported as beyond any bl reasona e hops. Now, with half a-mil lion of money, and 58.4 per 1,000 of our seamen annually absorbed in the experiment, whose opinions are we to listen to, and what resolutions are we to take? CHRONICLE.—The question of secondary punish ments is one which the circumstances of the present times must have forced, with peculiar urgency, upon the attention of all thoughtful men. There is, we believe, very little doubt, that most of the revolutionary move ments by which Europe has been lately convulsed, have , )wed, if not their origin, at least their chief force and their most fearful danger, to the active participation of convicts. In Paris, whatever may be the extent to which Communist doctrines have leavened the masses, and however numerous may be the theoretical advocates of that mysterious constitution which they call the Red Republic, we have -a- strong conviction that but little blood would have been shed in the cause of either the one or the other, had it not been for the existence of another and more dangerous element, represented by the ' , s,oooforgats liberes who fought behind the barricades —men who may be called the Ishmaelites of society— their hand against every man, and every man's hand against them--divided from the great mass of their fellow-creatures by an impassable line, moral as well as social—without faith, without conscience, without hope —living, simply and solely, for the animal enjoyments of the hour, and only distinguished from the brutes by a ferocious cunning which does laudev the name of reason. Nor have we, in Eng so far solved the problem of punishment as to justify us in feeling secure against the growth of so fearful a cancer in the bosom of society. It is true that our " desperate class" is less numerous and less blood-thirsty than it is in France—which may, in some degree, account for the different results of revolutionary attempts in London and in Paris; but we have gained our partial exemption from that scourge by peopling our infant colonies with the worst portion of our-own criminals. France and Eng land have adopted different courses in this matter, and it might be hard to say which of the two has proved the more pernicious. There is this, however, to be ad vanced in favour of the system hitherto pursued by our neighbours—that its horrors are borne by the commu nity that is (in some measure at least) responsible for the existence and growth of that crime from which it suffers; and that the criminal minority is, after all, con trolled and overpowered by the physical force of the sound majority. In our case the converse takes place — the terrible population which is formed and nourished by the influences prevailing in one country, is sent to wreak, as it were, its vengeance upon another. Great Britain and Ireland escape, comparatively speaking, scot free, but Van Dieman's Land is turned , from an earthl y paradise, into what has been designated, be those eho know it best, a fit abode only for devil.. Out of sixty thousand inhabitants, nearly forty thousand are, or have been, convicted criminals ; so that (horrible as it sounds) the moral tone of the population is given by the criminal majority. It is not wonderful that, under such circum stances, the whole of the free and innocent inhabitants have either taken flight, or are retained in thecolonyve only by inability to leave it. Twelve thousand have ac tually departed within the la st three or fou o I r t e i e n a t r , s and the stream of emigratio n is still flowing what ever may be the future d estin y of that ; b eseutiful island, it begins its national career with the awful not moral taint of a population sprung from felons. is our pur pose to recapitulate here the various reasons which in duce us to think that, of all secondary puniehments, transportation, notwithstanding its -plausibility and the relief which it affords to the mother country, is deci dedly the worst. At present, any argument on the subject appears to be rendered unnecessary by the undoube d tendency of intelligent opinion towards this concltbion, and by the fact that the present Colonial Secretary has adopted it in theory, though he does not appear to see his way very clearly towards carrying it out in practie.. Our object is rather to impress on our readers, that the approximate abolition of transportation, and the danger ous results to be apprehended from the numbers and character of the convict population in various European countries, force upon us, with peculiar weight, the con sideration of the questions connected with the disposal and treatment of prisoners—in fact, the investigation of the whole theory of punishment. We see, accordingly, with much pleasure, that a valuable addition has just been made to the stock of materials available for such investigation by Captain Meconochie, well-known as having been, for a considerable time, the superinten dent of Norfolk Island, and who has acquired, therefore, a dearly-bought experience, which he brings, in the con sideration of this question, to the aid of undoubted abi lity and great benevolence. We are not prepared to say that we unreservedly adopt all Captain Maconochie's conclusions, any more than we assent in full to the doc trines which have suggested them. We agree, in fact, with the Archbishop of Dublin (whose lucid and thoughtful " Essay on Secondary Punishments," ought to be in the hands of every one interested in the subject), that " the confidence with which several persons have advocated each his favourite plan of prison discipline, must be somewhat premature. It is but of late years that the subject has engaged any large share of the at tention of active and intelligent men, at once philo sophical and practically observant, and we have still much to learn which experience alone can teach. In the present state of our knowledge, therefore, it is, perhaps, the wisest and safest course to establish, in different places, several penitentiaries on different plans, and, after a trial of a few years, we may introduce such modifications as experience may suggest." The plan suggested by Captain Maconochie is founded on the principle which the Archbishop appears to think the most promising —that, namely, of requiring froth criminals a certain amount of work, but permitting them to exceed this amount as much as they please:Tied making rhe duration-of imprisonment depend. upon the industry and good conduct of the prisoner. Captain Macouchie calls the system which he advocates, the "mark system," because he recommends that the labour of convicts should be paid for in "marks," a cer tain number of which should be required to be earned by the prisoner before discharge, and that a fine, de priving him of his " marks,' should be the ordinary punishment for misconduct. For ourselves, we confess that the comparative failure of all reformatory sys• terns hitherto adopted, renders us far from san guine as to the ultimate effects of any par ticular plan of prison discipline upon the character of those who are subjected to it; and we greatly fear that we must look at punishment, for some time to come, rather with a view to its effects in deterring, than in re forming. Indeed we think it highly probable, that the abolition of transportation, and the consequent necessity for an increased amount of imprisonment, may lead, ere long, to the reintroduction of other and more summary modes of punishment, which, of late years, a morbid philanthropy has succeeded in ostracising. But we fully admit, at the same time, the immense importance of keeping both ends of punishment in view, so long as they are not placed in antagonism to each other; and we see nothing in the system advocated by Captain Maconochie, inconsistent with what we hold to be the primary object of punishment, namely, its effectiveness for the preven tion of crime by its deterring influence on those who are inclined to violate the law. ADVERTISER.—There has been a good deal of speculation respecting the object of Lord John Russell's visit to Ireland. We have good reason for the belief, that all the conjectures which have been made on the subject, have been wide of the truth. The amnesty' theory has been exploded for at least eight days, ann the other once popular supposition, that the visit was connected with the proclamation - of martial law,—bas also ceased to retain its hold on the public mind. The chief, if not the sole, purpose of the Premier's visit to Dublin is, we are assured, one which we have not seen mentioned in any of the public journals. We have it from the best authority, that the object of the Noble Lord, in crossing the Irish Channel, was to consult with the Lord Lieutenant as to the best means to be adopted for the endowment of the Roman Catholic priesthood, so as to call forth the least possible ob jection on their part, and the least amount of clamour on the part of the people. With regard to the Romish priesthood themselves, there will be no difficulty in persuading them to accept a State endowment. They may profess to have no wish to become the pensioners of the State, but they will be of a different mind when the Government gold is within their grasp. Their conscientious scruples will vanish at the sight of the Saxon money. " To take is not to give," will be a soothing syrup to their consciences. Though they they would not feel justified in giving money for Protestant purposes, they will have no hesitation in tak ing money from Protestant hands and transferring it to their Whether. therefore_ the Roman Catholic Priesthood of Ireland are or are not to be en dowed by the State, will not depend on themselves. So far as they are concerned the deed may be considered as one already done. It will entirely depend on the people of England, whether the priesthood of Ireland are en dowed or not. Constituted as the House of Commons now is, there is great reason to fear that the Ministerial intentions will be carried into effect. It so happen , that all the recognised leaders of the various sec tions into which the House is divided, art decided advocates for the contemplated endowment. Sir Robert Peel, Lord George Bentinck, and Mr. Cobden, will be found as strenuous supporters of the measure as Lord John himself. The only hope of defeating it, therefore, centres in the people themselves. They only can do it; they only, we may add, will make the attempt. And to make such attempt with any chance of success, they ought to organize themselves forthwith. There is no time for delay. We are glad to hear, that the Dissenters are already moving in the matter. They have fairly taken the field. Some of the leading men among them met together on Monday, for the purpose of adopting the necessary measures to commence a vigo rous agitation. The organization will soon be complete. The agitation will be the most comprehensive ever known. It will not only include Dissenters of all de nominations, but will embrace members of the Churches of England and Scotland. The Dissenters will take up the broad intelligible ground of opposition to all reli gious establishments, and, consequently, to the new establishment which Ministers contemplate. The adherents of the two national Churches, and the. Free Church of Scotland, which last still theoretically recognizes the establishment prin ciple,—will oppose the endowment of the Romish priesthood in Ireland, on the ground of their hostility to what they conceive to be a system of dangerous and deadly error. We will not trouble ourselves about the ground on which the opposition is to be offered. Thet is not our affair. Let every man act according to his convictions. There is, however, a large body of per sons who will cordially join in the anti-endowment agita tion now getting up, on grounds which involve no reli gious considerations whatever. They will view the matter in a purely pecuniary light—as a question of mere pounds, shillings, and pence. They know that it the Roman Catholic priesthood of Ireland are to be endowed, the country will have to pay the piper. The nithiey must come from t he pockets of the:people. Payment will be made out of the Consoli dated Fund. Supposing - the Irish priests to number somewhere about 6,000, and that their average salaries would be 300/. per annum—this would giT n e the large s um of 1 , 800,0 001 . a year to be expended 1 this way. It will be for the c ountr y to say whether it is prepared to see this large sum added permanently to the taxation of the country. Lord John Russell pro poses an odd time for the endowment of the Irish priest hood—if in reality he have any such intention. Just now the universal complaint is directed against the excessive taxation under which the nation already groans. Will the Primo Minister answer that complaint by proposing to increase the burthen? Lord John has always had the reputation of being a man of courage. There would be more of the quality of folly than of courage in any such endowment of the Romish Church in Ireland. But the matter could not end with the endowment of Roman Catholicism. If that measure were carried, on what ground or pretext could Lord John Russell, or the Parliament which sanction his measure, object to the endowment of other sects of religionists? To be just and consistent, every other denomination of Christians who are willing to accept the pay of the State must have that pay tendered to them. The result would be, that we should soon arrive at that state of things which, as regards religious sectaries, now prevails in France. In that country any body of persons who choose to form themselves into a congregation for divine worship, pro vided they consist of a certain number and have a chosen pastor, can prefer their claim to the Government fora permane n t endowment from the State. In other words, et endow the Roman Cathol ic p riesthood in all religionists are paid by the State in France.eland and Once this complexion it must also eventually come in England. THE DANGER OF USING WAGER-BOATS.—Yester. day Mr. Baker held an inquest at the David and Harp, Fore-street, Limehouse, on view of the body of James Watkins Guest, aged 21, a sawyer. It appear( d from the evidence of Slat Pascoe that on Saturday evening, about six o'clock, he and deceased were in a wager boat (which was cover, d Over) in the river. They had each a pair of sculls. When off Limehouse two Mar • gate steamers were observed by them, approaching. Deceased was alarmed, and in endeavouring to gain were b nt he both(ptharsren) t he shore, he lost his outsid e stroke. The boat was i n consequence capsized, and t he y i n to the water. Deceased soon s ank, got aside the boat, and was saved by a person coming w his assistance.

The arrivals from Ireland are very limited ; and coastwise there is a good supply of Liglish wheat only. From Canada there are 6,265 barrels of flour ; and from foreign ports good supplies of most articles. The ex ports in the same time amount to 821 quarters of wheat; 6,021 quarters of Indian corn ; 1,042 barrels of corn meal ; 9 04 sacks and 1, 586 barrels of flour. The wea- cher since Tuesday has been cool and gloomy ; on Fri day we had a slight rain with indications of an unfavour able change approaching, and which has been followed by heavy snaking rains on Saturday night, and nearly all and yactArdiay. Tito reports of the corn crops do not improve, and with regard to potatoes, they are, within the past week, alarmingly worse from every qbar ter. The demand for free wheat was moderate at par tial improvement of ld. ; but bonded samples were in active request, and 40. per 701 b. higher than on Tuesday. In barley, beans, peas, and oats little business transpired, but all were held with more firmness. Indian corn was m great request, and all the good useful parcels that of fered were cleared off at 2s. per quarter advance ; and corn meal was 6d. per barrel dearer. In flour there was no material change, but bonded parcels were more diffi cult to purchase. At this day's market there was a fair attendance of dealers, but the weather being fine and dry, there was no activity in the demand. A moderate sale was experienced for old wheat, at an advance of ld. to 2d. per 701 b. on all kinds of free, and 6d. per 701 b. on bonded, on the prices of this day week. Several parcels of Irish (new) appeared, quality various, and found buyers at 7s. to Bs. per 701 b. Oats was scarce, and supported former rates ; new Irish brought 3s. sd. to 3s. 6d. per 451 b. for best kiln dried. For barley, beans, and peas there was a slow demand, and all were rather easier to purchase. In dian corn, on the contrary, was in considerable request, and 3s. per quarter dearer ; and Indian corn meal was held for an advance of Is to ls. 6d. per barrel. In Ame rican flour there was no change, but Irish was more sale able at our quotations. There is very little old oatmeal remaining here, and the few parcels of new that come to hand find buyers at 31s. to 325. 6d. per 2401 b. IPSWICH CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 12.
