"Sir,—You will, I presume, favour me with the in sertion of the following medical certificate. The italics are Mr. Laxon's own : "' I hereby certify that on the third day subsequent to the slight injury inflicted on the late May Ball's hand, by the flame of a candle (no evidence of mis chief remaining), I directed the covering to be re moved from it. " ' WILLIAM LAXON, M.D., Surgeon to the Gaol. " Coventry, Aug. 21, 1849.' " There is an inaccuracy in the deposition of the chief witness, where the singular is substituted for the plural number, viz., "a hundred years" for " hundreds of years ;" and also an important omis sion. My words were to this effect : " What is this compared with the flames of hell, where your whole frame will be in torments for hun dreds of years, if you depart this life without making an acknowledgment of your guilt ? ' " RICHARD CHAPMAN." COPY OF A LETTER FORWARDED BY THE LATE CHAP LAIN OF COVENTRY GAOL TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT. " August 10, 1849. " Right Honourable Sir,—Although an official no. tice from the visiting magistrates of Coventry Gaol, respecting my suspension from the duties of the chaplaincy, and my consequent resignation of the office, may have already reached you, I have never theless thought it not inexpedient to trouble you with a brief account of the circumstances which led to such an unfortunate result. The condemned prisoner, Mary Ball (who was executed yesterday), 1 had at tended privately for several weeks prior to her con demnation; and from the time the sentence of death was pronounced upon her until the Saturday before her execution (i. e. for the space of a week), I was unremitting in my exertions to prepare her for the awful fate which awaited her. No pains, I assure you, were spared on my part to awaken her min d to a sense of her condition. But I had to contend with an obtuse intellect, a lethargic temperament, a moral sense exceedingly debased, and a conscience apparently benumbed by long-continued habits of vice. The proofs of her guilt had been clearly established at her trial, but no acknowledgment of it could I extort from her. On the contrary, her protestations and assertions of innocence were repeatedly conveyed to me from her lips in the strongest language that she had at her command. I trust that, as a Christian gentleman, you will make every reasonable allowance for a clergyman anxious for the salvation of a human soul, and in a state of perplexity how to secure it. On the morning of Saturday, the 4th instant, I read and explained to her several of the parables of our Blessed Lord, which inculcate the necessity of repentance ; I also read to her the gospel account of the penitent thief, and en deavoured from these instances, and from other pas sages of Scripture, to prove to her that repentance without confession, or an unreserved acknowledgment of guilt, was necessarily imperfect. I then pointed out to her, as plainly as I could, the dreadful conse quences of departing this life without having com pleted the work of repentance ; and read to her some passages from a work of Jeremy Taylor, on the nature of eternal punishment in hell fire. Having expatiated thereupon at some length, I implored her, in the kindest and most soothing accents, not to incur the wrath of God by persisting in the assertion of her innocence, and requested her to kneel down with me in prayer. After these religious exer cises were finished her manner seemed to be rather subdued, in spite of a little sullenness which now and then betrayed itself, and an unwilling ness to be communicative. On revisiting her in the afternoon, a thought struck me that an application to the senses of a person who was inaccessible to reason might be attended with the desired result. I called for a lighted candle, and requested her to give me her hand, which she unresistingly placed (or suffered to be placed) in my own. I then held it over the lighted candle, and asked her if she suffered pain, to which she made no reply, but presently began to struggle, when I instantly released her hand. This operation did net occupy more than two seconds, or three at the most, during which she never once cried out. I then inquired of her if she would venture on another trial, and proceeded to take her hand for that purpose, but perceiving her disinclination, I did not persist in my attempt. Whereupon I addressed her in the following or similar words Do not imagine that 1 have been influenced by any feelings of cruelty towards you in thus placing your hand over the candle, I have done this to teach you the value of your immortal soul. If you flinch from such a trifling amount of pain as this which I have been inflicting upon you, how will you endure the torments of an eternal fire hereafter, which will inevitably be your portion unless you make an ample confession o f your guilt before you die?' " I regret very much to state that the hand of the unfortunate woman was slightly blistered by the flame ; but two days before she suffered I received intelligence of its entire recovery, and that she had almost forgotten the circumstance. " Perhaps it may not be unimportant to mention that she subsequently confessed her crime, and ad mitted the justice of her sentence. " I have thus endeavoured to give you as clear a statement as possible of the transaction which occa sioned my suspension. The possibility of the other prisoners entertaining a prejudice against me, on their coining to a knowledge of this circumstance, has doubt. less influenced the decision of the magistrates and this consideration will, perhaps, account for the apparent harshness of their resolution. Erroneous and exag- gerated reports relative to this affair have been circu lated, some of them too ridiculous to be credited by any person of intelligence. I hare, therefore, thought it advisable to write to you myself upon the subject, not forgetting to mention that, by the advice of my friends, I have forwarded my resignation of the chaplaincy to the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "R. CHAPMAN." A Greek, a German, an Irish, an English, and a Scotch naturalist, are at present in the Orkneys, each on a scientific tour. LONDON PRICE OF BREAD.—The general price of the best bread in London is 7d. and 74d., second quality from sd. and 51d. to 6d. and 6id. In the neighbourhood of Somers Town bread is selling at sd. and sid. The master bakers of that district have Leen endeavour ing, for some time past, to obtain a living profit on their bread, and succeeded, after great exertions, in putting a stop to that unfair competition that bad so long existed among them. After the whole of them had been for a short time at one price, and each came to be reduced to the trade to be done in their own immediate locality, one of them made an excuse that he would no longer continue to sell his bread at the same price as the rest so long as one or two in the neighbourhood made second, or rather bread of the third quality, and immediately commenced selling under the agreed price, whereby he advanced his trade considerably, to the injury of his neighbours, who have been obliged in consequence to sell their bread at the same rate as he did in order to retain their customers. Similar accounts may be given of other parts of London.—Bakers' Gazette. SUDDEN DEATH. Father Dominic, of Poplar House, Westend, Hampstead, has been suddenly removed from his earthly labours, and his death was accompanied by most untoward circumstances and peculiar suffering. Ho left London in good spirits on Monday morning by the 7.30 train on the Great Western Railway, accom panied by Father Lewes, on his way to Stroud. When very near the Pangbourno station he was suddenly in disposed, and upon being removed from the train symp toms of a choleraic character appeared. The attendance of a medical gentleman (Mr. H. Muggridge, who hap pened to be travelling) was immediately given, and his complaint ascertained to be disease of the heart. Reme dies were applied, and application made to the inns for admission, but no room could, as it was stated, be af forded. The unfortunate sufferer was then removed to a cottage and laid upon some straw on the brick fljor for upwards of an hour. Upon the arrival of the up-train he was lifted in and brough to the Railway Tavern at Read ing. The prescriptions of the medical gentleman were again applied, and temporary ease was obtained. The spasm at the heart, however, returned with violence, and he expired at three o'clock the same afternoon. The medical gt naeman certified that death arose from natural ca uses. Father Dominic was very gen era lly kn o w n t o the Roman Catholic community, an d part i cu l ar l y to t h e r l e l v e , gentlemen who have seceded from the church of England. it he Trieste papers quote the exchange on London at 11 52 to 11 53, on receipt of telegr.phic news from Vienna; money was in continued demand, and the rate of discount was four per cent.

The account of the capture of Manning on Mon day evening, at Jersey, which appeared exclusively in the Fourth Edition of The Sun of last evening, was officially announced to the police authorities in Scotland-yard, in the course of last night by the following telegraphic message : SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, 7.49 rAt. " Manning was apprehended at ten o'clock last night, by the chief of police of St. Helier's, Mr. Chevalier, his son, and Sergeants Langley and Lockyer, of the London detective police. He was in ben at a house near Beaumont, in the parish of St. Peter's. The officers had been in search of him all . day, and had returned to town, when a publican of Beaumont informed them of a person of Manning 's description being in that neighbourhood. They im mediately again went in pursuit of him, entered his room, and Mr. Chevalier threw himself across the bed in which he lay. Ile confessed the murder, and said his wife was the instigator, and fired the shot into O'Connor's head as he went down stairs. Ile also stated that he would have given himself up next day had he not been captured. He is still in gaol at St. Helier's awaiting the arrival of the warrant." It is evident that there is a mistake in the official account. Manning was captured, not on the night of Tuesday, as therein stated, but on the night of Monday, and the account sent up by telegraph was probably written in Jersey on Tuesday, although it was not telegraphed from Southampton until yes- terday. The Jersey Times of Tuesday gives the following particulars of the manner in which the arrest of Manning was effected : " We are now enabled to announce the gratifying fact that Manning \was captured last evening about nine o'clock, and safely lodged in prison. He arrived in this island last Thursday week, the 16th, and took lodgings at Mr. Berry's, the Navy Arms, in Mul caster-street, where he remained until the following Thursday morning, and on his then leaving, desired that his bed should be kept for him, as he would re turn on Saturday. While there, he went out early in the morning and returned in the evening, generally under the influence of liquor, of which he drank more before he retired for the night. He had once ar ranged with the captain of a sailing vessel to go with him early in the morning to Guernsey, but he did not get up in time. " From his quitting the Navy Arms until yester day, there was no direct trace of him ; he took lodg ings on Thursday last at Mr. Bertheau s, a private house a little off the St. Aubin's-road, on this side the third tower; while there he kept very close, and might have remained longer concealed but for the notice taken of his so frequently sending to the same house for a bottle of brandy. This caused a suspi cion, and information was given to Mr. Centenier Chevalier, who immediately repaired to the place, ac companied by two officers of the London detective police, one of whom was well acquainted with Man ning from his having had to do with him in the affair of the snail robbery on the Great Western Railway, for which Poole and Nightingale were convicted. " On arriving at the house, it was ascertained that the lodger was in bed, and admirable arrangements were made fur getting a sight of his face, and securing him before he could offer any resistance. He was, however, easily captured, and was in a very nervous state. Near him was a bottle of liquor and a razor. He immediately recognised Mr. Edward Langley, of the London police, and stated that he was glad he had come, as he was thinking of going to London to explain all. " One of his first questions was, Is the wretch taken ?'—alluding to his wife; and on being an ts wered in the affirmative, he observed, lam glad of it—that will save my life. In subsequent conver sation he endeavoured to throw the whole blame on the woman, and stated that she had caused the grave to be dug some time before; and, after having laid the cloth for dinner, had invited O'Connor down stairs to wash his hands, and while he was going to the kitchen for that purpose had taken the opportunity of firing at him from behind. " The prisoner admitted that all the things; in the room where he was lodging belonged to him, adding that he had found a man to give him 121. for his furniture in London—all the money he had to start with, of which seven sovereigns, which he gave up, was the remainder. On his arrival at the Navy Arms, in Mulcaster-street, his first inquiry was to see the Times newspaper. "During his stay there he regularly breakfasted and supped with the other guests, but rarely dined with them. He carried himself rather high, talked of his losses by the French revolution, that he must go to France, and should require an interpreter, as he did not speak the language. "During the passage from Southampton he had forced himself upon a respectable passenger, with whom he shared a double-bedded room, but to whom, as well as to several masters of vessels, and others in the house, he so behaved as to render himself anything but a favourite. He always evinced a great desire to see the newspapers, and on Saturday, the 19 th, he went to the Union Hotel on purpose to read the Times. "At the Navy Arms he paid regularly for every think be had, including a glass of brandy, before he went away. This, coupled with his leaving a trunk, a coat, a pair of trousers, &c., made the host fully expect his return." The prisoner, it appears, at once confessed the murder, and accused his wife of being, not only the principal concocter of the plot of assassination, but also the actual perpetrator of the crime. It is evi dent that she had appropriated to her own use the whole of the property of which O'Connor had been plundered, and that she left her partner in guilt to his fate without furnishing him with even the means of escape. Manning stated to the officers that it was his • ntention to have surrendered had he not been taken indeed it would appear. that he had no other alterna tive but to surrender as soon as his money was exhausted. His ignorance of the French language prevented him from availing him self of the many opportunities which must have presented themselves for escape to that country. Had his wife accompanied him, it is not improbable but that they might together have effected their es cape to the Continent, and have for some time longer evaded the pursuit of justice. The details that have yet reached us as to the means by which the officers of justice have succeeded in tracking his guilty steps have as yet only reached us in a meagre and imperfect form, but already sufficient is known to show how small are the chances of escape now left to those who commit enormous crimes. Wherever they go the awakened indignation of the country vigilantly seeks them out, and men who have never seen them before supply the information which leads to their detection. While in its own way so ciety thus strengthens the hands of the law, the police, by more systematic and skilful means, follow in the trail of the fugitive. The dexterity and the unwearied industry with which, in this instance, they have pursued the perpetrators of a most atrocious murder, are de serving of the highest commendation. By some mis chance the culprits had a long start of their pursuers, and ere the slightest clue to their movements could be found days had elepsed, and the scent lay cold. The arrest of the woman was accomplished with such marvellous speed, when the first traces of her were discovered, that some impatience began to be mani fessed at the delay in securing the person of her husband. Yet, singularly enough, the means by which their apprehension was brought about were in several important respects the same. They both commenced their flight from justice in cab s , an d i n both instances the drivers being found out, gave the information which enable d the p olice to follow. In both cases their boxes wer e discovered befo re them selves, and supplied important evidence as to th e ir whereabouts. In both cases strangers, to whom their persons were quite unknown, set the officers upon them. As we have already mentioned, Manning left Bainbridge's (the broker's) house on the lath inst., in a cab, which conveyed him by back streets and a cir cuitous route to the South-Western Railway. There, although formerly a railway guard, and pr o b a bl y therefore known to many ser vants on tha t line, all trace of him disappears, and he is not a g ai n heard of till on board a steamer bound for the Channel Islands, where, by one of those providential accidents which so frequently occur in the history of great crimes, a young woman to whom his p erson was known re cognied him. She had n ot then h eard of the murder, the news of which onl y reac hed her after became landing aware of Guernsey. Nvh what had Of happened, course, she immediately as soon as s h e communicated with the Governor of the island, who, fn his turn, forwarded the information to the Home eflice. In the meantime Langley, an active officer of the detective force, who was perfectly acquainted with Manning's person, bad been dispatched along the South-Western line to follow up the clue supplied by the cabman. As soon as the police authorities in S._:otand-yard heard that Manning had been recog nised on board the steamer to the Channel Islands, thoy dispatched Langley thither in quest of him. Soon after landing, the officer had any doubt he might entertain of not being un the right track en tirely removed by finding the murderer's box in a lodging-house, where he had slept for two nights after landing, and which he had left, with a carpet-bag, and in the company of another male lodger. Some papers found in the breast pocket of a coat which was among the contents of the box, clearly established the fact that the property belonged to Manning. But the questions then arose, what had become of him since ? had he left the island ? and, if so, whither had he gone ? These were points only to be ascer tained by cautiously pushing inquiries. At length, however, further tidings were collected. A gentleman saw two men, one of whom carried a carpet bag, at St. Malo, endeavouring to strike a bargain with a boatman to carry them over to Guernsey. He wished himself, to go there, and, thinking that the persons in question :_might be disposed to share the expense with him, he went up and addressed them. On asking them if they wished to cross to Guernsey, he was answered in a very surly manner, that they did not ; and he left them. Shortly after doing so the remarkable resemblance of one of them to the description of Manning struck him, and he communicated the fact to the proper authorities. This confirmed the suspi cion that Manning was still in the island, and every precaution was taken to prevent his escape ; but several days passed, and his lurking-place remained undiscovered until ten o'clock on Monday night, when, as already stated, a publican at Beaumont gave the information which led to his immediate arrest. Both the perpetrators, or supposed perpetrators, of the Bermondsey murder are now in the hands of the law, and so far the public indignation will be satisfied in reference to a crime as diabolical in its conception and execution as any in that black catalogue which of late years we have had to record. A letter from Southampton, dated nine, P.M., last night, says that Mr. Whither, of the London detec tive force, was in Southampton at the time the news of his capture arrived there, and telegraphed it to the Secretary of State. Inspector Haynes left the metropolis this morning' for Jersey, with the necessary warrant to authorise he removal of the prisoner. Intelligence was received at Bristol yesterday afternoon of the arrest of Manning in Jersey. The information, which was communicated by a railway guard, was brought from Jersey by Captain T. Russell, of the Brunswick steam-packet, which arrived at Torquay yesterday morning. Cap tain Russell is the gentleman to whose praiseworthy exertions we are . indebted for for warding our parcel from our correspondent, containing the account of the arrest of Manning, which appeared exclusively in the Fourth Edition of The Sun of last evening, at seven o'clock, thus anticipating by several hours the ac counts received by the police authorities in Scotland yard. It appears that Sergeant Langley and Constable Lockyer had been out all day on Monday pursuing their search, when, while returning to their quarters about half-past nine in the evening, the landlord of the house in- which Manning was staying beckoned them to him, and stated he had got a man in bed whom he strongly suspected was the man they were looking after, so nearly did he answer the description of the person charged with the murder of O'Connor, as printed and circulated by the police authorities. liaving procured the assistance of the local autho rities, they proceeded, accompanied by two of the Jersey officers, to Manning's room, and found him in bed. One of the officers then threw himself upon Manning, who, however, offered not the slightest re sistance. LATEST PARTICULARS. (raoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) JERSEY, TUESDAY EVENING. During the course of the day applications for ad mittance to the prison, by persons anxious to catch a glimpse of the supposed great cri minal, were very numerous, and in general these applications were readily complied with, and curious visitors, in great numbers, obtained ad mittance. Manning, who was generally sitting on a form, or walking about the yard, seemed to gaze with something like an expression of indignation at those persons, who came to stare at him as they would at a wild beast, but he took no notice of the other prisoners, or of the persons connected with the gaol, whose anxiety to get a sight of him, seemed, however, to the full as intense as that of the visitors from withoutside the prison walls. His first inquiry on being captured was whether that - of a wife and traitor to him had been removed to London. He is rather communica tive to those with whom he comes in contact in the gaol, and has frequently explained to them everything that occurred in reference to the murder. He states that his wife shot O'Connor as he entered the room, and declares that be himself (Manning) bad nothing whatever to do with the perpetration of the atro cious deed. He endeavours to put on an appearance of nonchalance and resolution which is evidently assumed, and which is with difficulty supported. It is understood that the authorities here intend to detain him until they have instructions from the Home-office on the subject of his transference to the custody of the officers of the metropolitan police. These instructions will most probably not be received until Friday. RECEPTION BY MRS. MANNING OF THE IN TELLIGENCE O I F TILE CAPTURE OF HER In the course of the morning Mrs. Manning was made acquainted with the capture of her husband at Jersey, and that his arrival was hourly expected. On receiving the unwelcome intelligence she turned pale, and a slight tremor was perceptible, but these became I s Th c e o n ol i a n n f d or a m s e c d alm tha a t s lifiasnhnehwlgashr.e.dalleyhaitrlgneod symptoms only lasted for a few se con d s , an d s h e ce n t . her with firing the pistol she said it was false, for she knew nothing of the murder ; that she was quite innocent of every thing connected with it. The pri saner, it will be recollected, is to be brought up for re-examination to-morrow, but should Manning not arrive in London in the course of the night or early in the morning, it is understood that no evidence be yond what is really essential will be gone into ; that when placed in the dock she will be informed that she is again to be remanded until the arrival of her husband, so in all probability the proceedings will occupy but a few minutes. The authorities of the prison state that the prisoner pos sesses the most extraordinary nerve they ever wit nessed. She eats her meals heartily, and retires to bed about eleven o'clock at night ; and her sleep re mains unbroken until about eight o'clock in the morning. She makes no allusion to the murder, nor has the name of O'Connor or that of her husband once escaped her lips. From some circumstances which have transpired the police are of opinion that a third party is mixed up in the murder; and yester day Mr. Massey was questioned in reference to a Frenchman he informed the police that he had often heard Mrs. Manning speak of, but that he never saw the person; and this opinion is confirmed by a letter heing found, written by her, directed to the British Hotel, Boulogne, the contents of which have not been allowed to transpire. In consequence of the publicity given to Manning's apprehension, the immediate vicinity of the station-house of the M division was surrounded during the day by an anxious body of persons waiting for the arrival of Manning. The following appeared exclusively in the Fourth Edition of The Sun last night : Captain T. Russell, of the Brunswick steam-packet, from Jersey to Torquay, this morning, at four o'clock, reports the positive capture of Manning, the supposed murderer of Patrick O'Connor, on Monday evening, in a small public-house, at St. Aubins, near St. Hilliers, Jersey. LATEST PARTICULARS. Tuesday Morning, Eleven o'clock, Aug. 28. St. Heliers, Jersey. Last night, about 9 o'clock, Frederick Manning, the supposed murderer of Patrick O'Connor, was taken into custody by Mr. Centenier Chevalier, and two Metropolitan Police• officers, a t an hotel in St. Aubins, about three miles distant from this place. He had retired to bed, where he for- tunately was secured, and brought to her Majesty's prison shortly before ten o'clock, and delivered over to the charge of Mr. Kendrick, the Governor thereof. Soon after Sir Thomas Le Breton attended at the gaol, and every proper precaution being taken, he was left for the night in immediate charge of the principal turnkey. During the night he alluded to the murder of O'Connor, endeavouring to exonerate himself of the dreadful crime laid to his charge ; also stating dis tinctly that his wife committed the horrible deed• lie talked with a degree of satisfaction that his wife was in custody, as she had done all, and had left him in total ignorance of her destination, without money. When breakfast was taken to him he observed a news paper that was given by one person to another, and without hesitation asked for a perusal of it, which was declined ; he also asked for a pipe and some tobacco of a turnkey on duty, and was told it was against the rules of the prison. From appearances it is evident ho has been addicted :o drinking to excess lately. He looks emaciated and pale. Prom the information respecting his possession of money, it appears he had not the command of more than the amount obtained by the sale of his stock of furniture. THE CHOLERA.

SIR,—Now that there is good reason to supp`e that the noble effort of the Hungarians to maintain their liberty has been baffled by the overwhelming forces of Russia and Austria, the inhabitants tif country must be led anxiously to inquire what po sition England is likely to assume ? Public opinion in Britain has been most powerfully elicited in favour of the Hungarians, too slowly indeed to enable them to bear up against the enemy, either by our contributions and the moral force of our sympathies, or by the interference of our Govern ment; and there may now be a temptation to sit with folded hands mourning indeed the catastrophe, but regretting our inability to ameliorate or prevent it. We are led to fear this the more from the position we now occupy with regard to the Romans. Our national sym pathies were and are strong with them, too, but hope seems to have vanished with their defeat, and we now sorrowfully, indeed, but indolently, listen to the tales 3f their sufferings by the block, the Inquisition, or the oppressions of the rude soldiery. It is to be hoped, however, that our course will be different with regard to Hungary, and that it may even yet be altered in relation to the Italians. Let the public of this country demand then of our Government, that they protest against the slightest infraction of the ancient Hungarian constitution, and against the exercise of oppression and cruelty upon the unfortunate conquered. Let them demand that they protest peacefully, if possible, but even by hold ing out the prospect of war, if their voice be not attended to. If our Government refuse at first to do this, let it be forced on them by the repeated voice of the nation. This course of action on the part of England seems called for even by her national pride. The despotic Powers know her feelings, but have hitherto treated them with indifference ; if she now show that she is ready to permit them to find utterance in empty wind, they will hereafter treat her public voice with con - tempt. The friends of rational liberty, on the other hand, will repudiate her sympathy as selfish, calcu lating, and cold. They will reject all her claims to the character of benevolence, when they see her sit indolently by, with the remedy in her hands, listening to tales of the bitter suf ferings and death of those whose only crime has been patriotism and philanthropy, enjoying her own independence and liberty, without extending one look of active sympathy to those who are struggling under the thraldrom of a cruel despotism. But a far-sighted selfishness merely on our part would also lead us at present to rouse ourselves in this matter. Our own political and commercial in terests are at stake. If Russia establish a strong power in the East, and Austria become her depen dent ally, how soon may not only the latent sparks of liberty still existing on the continent be quenched, but despotism even roll its waves to our own shore, and leave us only the wreck of our once boasted con stitution and exalted personal liberty. We are too apt to imagine that we have nothing to fear en this account, by reason of the advance d state of p ublic opinion in this country. We may, indeed, as long as we are on our guard, have nothing to fear ; but there is some cause of alarm when we are found so indifferent to the cause of liberty as to sit down at ease, and permit other freemen to be trampled under foot. There can be no doubt that no power is so much abhorred by Russia and Austria as Britain, and that these empires would lend their influ ence to no cause with more good will than to the destruction of our liberties; and we find, on exa mination, that we have also many and powerful enemies among ourselves. The men who have not scrupled to use even the basest means to injure tie cause of liberty in other lands would be sure to lend heartily their powerful influence to root it out at home. With regard to the enmity of the despotic powers, what means will they he more likely to use, as their their power and influence extends, to injure this country than the preventing as far as possible the entry of our manufactures into their territories ? Besides this, the extension will have the negative effect of preventing a large increase of commercial intercourse with the rich agricultural districts of the Danube, if the Hungarians continue in the enjoy • ment of their liberties. There is a motive, however, calling for our inter ference stronger than any of them. The Divine Being has implanted in the human mind the principle, impelling it forward to defend the right of the wevk against the physical strength and the tyranny of the strong. In collective localities, in more serious cases, this power has, for the sake of convenience, been handed over to the regularly constituted Govern ments. But where no supreme power exists every man has a claim on his fellow-men to defend him from the infraction of his rights, at whatever cost to himself; and as there is no supreme power among nations, each has thus a claim upon the others for protection. The man who neglects this duty would be scouted by society, and the nation who sacrifice it to any selfish purpose must in the end expect a similar fate. It is to be hoped that public feeling in this country will always still be on the alert until it find, by whatever means, its ends accomplished with regard to the Hungarians, and that it will yet awake again to exercise itself in behalf of the Italians. In conclusion, we would briefly advert to the present peace movement, on account of its important bearing on this question. Many of the supporters of that movement, indeed the great majority, we doubt not, are true friends of national liberty ; and we would just ask them to beware that they injure not the cause they love. Do they expect to influence despotic or ambitious powers? Then, such rowers are very unlikely to listen to their advice ; ar is their necessary element. On the other baud, may they not injure the good cause of freedom by giving peace too prominent a place among its advocates ? For instance, at the present time, may not the excessive desire to maintain peace prevalent in this country have weakened its influence on the affairs of Hungary and Italy ? May it not have inspired Russia with greater confidence in sending her armies to assist Austria, and France in dispatching hers to assist the Pope ? These powers will smile blandly on the movement as long as it weakens the opponents of their ambitious designs, but will take good care not to be practically affected by it themselves. What could be the motive of the French Government, for instance, for giving it their encouragement ? Peace is a blessing, but if we sacrifice purity and justice for its sake, we are only laying up for our selves in the end large stores of bloodshed and misery. Yours very respectfully, S. THE POOR-LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—A most desirable end requires accomplishing in regard to the poor-laws, and which is, a total repeal of the present numerous enactments, and of the poor law rules and orders. Since the first new poor• law was passel, in 1834, there have been so many amend ments, additions, and alterations that it is scarcely possible for professional men to be correct upon them ; at any rate, they are so complicated as to inidead frequently. This ought not to be; but, on the con trary, capable of ready reference and clear under standing. The same remarks apply to the orders and regulations issued, from time to time, by the late Poor-law Commissioners and the present Poor-law Board. August '29, 1849. A JUSTICE'S BEAK.
