(From the United Service Gazette of Saturday.) _APPOINTMENT OF SIR CHARLES DALBIAC TO TIIE COLONELCY OF THE 4TH DRAGOONS.—The announce ment contained in our Gazette of the 10th ult., has been confirmed by the removal of Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Dalbiac to the 4th Light Dragoons, in succession to the late Lord Edward Somerset. Lieu tenant-General Newbery, formerly of the 16th Lancers, has replaced Sir Charles in the Colonelcy of the 3d Dragoon Guards. General Newbery's mili tary career is unconnected with the Peninsula or the battle of Waterloo, but he was usefully employed in India for a long period, first in the capacity of a regi mental officer, and, subsequently, as a brigadier. He was, we believe, the senior candidate of his rank for a cavalry -corps. Having occupied that position, he may, perhaps, be considered fairly entitled to the dis tinction which has now been bestowed upon him, in preference to such dashing junior competitors as Major-Generals Hill, Lygon. 'and Wyndham, whose constantly active, meritorious, and chivalrous services in the field, constitute no slight claim for early and substantial reward. CAPTAIN SMITII.—We are glad to perceive by the London Gazette of last night that Captain Smith, of the 27th Regiment, has been promoted to a brevet majority for his gallant and successful resistance and ultimate defeat of the rebel Boers at Port Natal. This appropriate and well-timed reward is, we are assured, the Duke of Wellington's spontaneous and unsolicited act. The promptitude with which his Grace has con ferred this well-merited mark of distinction upon Captain Smith, and the spirited and exemplary con duct which it is intended to reward, are alike ho nourable to the donor and the recipient. It may not, perhaps, be generally known to our readers that Cap tain Smith commenced his professional career in the navy, from which he transferred his services to the 27th Regiment in June, 1813. At that period his father was surgeon in that corps, and his sister, Mrs. Tucker, married one of its captains, circumstances which no doubt had its full weight in determining Captain Smith to exchange his blue for a red jacket. The ship in which.he last served was the Sapphire. He has had his share of hard fighting, both in the Penin sula and at Waterloo, since he has belonged to the military branch of the service. LORD lIILeS PRIVATE SECRET/RT.—We are by no means surprised,' although certainly very muci gratified, at the promotion to an unattached Lieute nant-Colonelcy of Colonel Egerton, late Aide-de-Camp and Private Secretary to Lord Hill. The Colonel's zeal, activity, and attention to the onerous duties of the responsible appointment which he held with so much credit to himself and advantage to the service, during the period of his Lordship's command of the army, are well deserving the recompense which has been bestowed upon them, and which will, we under stand, be still further rewarded by an annual pecu niary grant as one of the full Colonels coming within the meaning and intent of one of the provisions em bodied in the Report of the late Naval and Military Commission. WEST INDIA AND MEDITERRANEAN DETACH MENTS.—The usual periodical detachments have been placed under orders for Jamaica, the West Indies, and the Mediterranean. Their combined strength is to consist of about 4 field-officers, 11 captains, 15 lieu tenants, 24 ensigns, 20 sergeants, 4 drummers, and 580 rank and file, who will be selected from the re spective depots in the following proportions :—For the West Indies, one field-officer, seven captains, eight lieutenants, 15 ensigns, 12 sergeants, four drum mers, and 340 rank and file, to be taken from the 33d, 46th, 47th, 59th, 77th, and 921 Regiments. For Ja maica, one captain, one lieutenant, three ensigns, three sergeants, and 100 rank and file, from the 48th Foot and the 2d battalion 60th Rifles. For Gibral tar, two field officers, four lieutenants, two ensigns, four sergeants, and 100 rank and file, from the Ist battalion of the Royals, the 7th Fusiliers, and the 79th Highlanders. For Malta, one captain, one lieute nant, two ensigns, one sergeant, and 30 rank and file, from the 88th, Connaught Rangers; and for the lonian Islands, one field officer, two captains, two ensigns, ono sergeant, and 15 rank and file, from the 19th, 38th, and the 97th Regiments, and the Ist bat talion Rifl Brigade. These drafts are exclusive of the reserve battalions of the 42d, 45th, and 97th Regi ments, which are to proceed separately to Malta, Gibraltar, and Corfu. The corps which they are to relieve are specified in our distribution of the army. No tonnage has yet been provided for the convey ance of' any of these officers and men ; but arrange ments are in active progress for insuring their early departure from this country. The 53d, 58th, and 61st Regiments are to be aug mented to 1,200 rank and file each, and to be formed into two battalion corps. The new tariff is beginning already to make its in fluences felt on the value of cattle. " Very fine Spanish cattle were last week sold at Smithfield at a good profit to the importers," is a fact over which the Post groans and gruinbles. That Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Gladstone were wrong when they expressed their belief that " not a single ox would ever cross the Bay of Biscay," even with a free trade in cattle, has of course by this very fact been proved. But what then ? If the poorer classes of the country shall be able to obtain foreign meat at aso much cheaper rate, that instead of being deprived of all animal food from month to month, they will be able to purchase it twice a week, or even once, who will regret that Mr. Gladstone uttered a false prediction, or that the new tariff of Sir Robert Peel has effected even more good than he hoped for ? That the profits of the English grazier are small, we admit. But why are they so ? Because the rents of the land on which he grazes them are too high. The Post knows well where the shoe pinches ; and so it undertakes to run down Spanish beef, But the real secret is this-- that to obtain good and cheap English beef, the rents must come down, and the supporters of the Post must diminish their luxuries to contribute to pro viding for other people's necessities. This neither suits it nor them, and therefore a cry is heard of, " Th e tariff of Sir Robert is injurious to the graziers," But if it bring good beef, and plenty 4f ft, to the poor man's cottage, who will not rolotce to raise another cry of " Iluzza for the Tariff?

The Society fur Promoting Christian Kno.wle'ge h 9 . 14 thvir first monthly meeting for the ser.soll Nyini tto tivo Colonial Bishops recently cutis4igtgi are PTP9 t 4 take OLYMPIC THEATRE. Mr. G. Wild commenced his winter campaign lass evening, with a drama entitled The Adventures of a Gentleman, being a dramatic version of Bulwer': , novel of " Pelham." The dramatiser is Mr. Marl, Lemon, and he has displayed great judgment in adapting the incidents of the novel to stage represen tation. He has confined himself strictly to the ad ventures of Glanville and Tyrrell, and has, from the materials thus furnished him, constructed a most in teresting drama, the serious part of which was ad mirably sustained by Fitzjames as Glanville, and Miss Lavinia Melville as Gertrude Douglas. The mad-house scene more especially was given with great power and effect. G. Wild was quite at home as Job Johnson, the man with "two virtues," and sang a song, " The Life of a Vagabond," in excellent style. Wild has made this line of cha racter completely his own; and, like good old Octo ber, he increases in mellowness every year. The mantle of Reeve has fallen upon him, and v e hail him as the legitimate successor of the " immortal John." Our old favourite Miss Lebatt was Letts , Lambswool, the chambermaid of " The Flying Childers," and by the naivete of hor acting, made a great deal of a very insignificant character. She was most deservedly en cored in her new song, "If I were a lady." The piece was completely successful, and was announced for re petition every night. The . National Anthem was sung at the conclusion o the_ first_ piece. The farce of the Artful Dodge followed," with Mr. Fitzjames as Fitzfudge. In the part of Glanville the tragedy wig had hidden the doings of the Dover Dogberrfes, but when Mr. Fitzjames ap peared as Fitzfudge, their barber-ous deeds were made apparent. The audience showed their sympathy by receiving him with several rounds of applause, and eagerly caught at any allusion in the course of the piece, to show their opinion of the unworthy treat ment to which he had been subjected. " Cut it short," said Wild, as Demosthenes Dodge, when he was indulging in what an Irishman would call a " noration." "It has been," was Fitzjames's pithy reply, running his fingers over his hair, not throuzh it—that would have been impossible. This was im mediately taken up and loudly applauded. The amusing burlesque of Life in the Clouds concluded the evening's amusements. During the recess the theatre has been completely and most tastily re decorated, and it now presents a very neat and com fortable appearance. Mr. Wild has also found it ne cessary to provide additional accommodation for his patrons, and has erected a new gallery, capable of holding 800 Persons. This was last night crammed to the ceiling ; the pit was a bumper, and the boxes were well filled. This is a good beginning, and we hope and believe that it is only a foretaste of what is to . come, for everything seems to promise a prosperous season to this little winter snuggery. EDINBURGH COMPLETE SUF •= FRAGE ASSOCIATION. A meeting of the members and friends of the Edin burgh Complete Suffrage Union was held on Thurs day night last in the Waterloo-rooms, in honour of Mr. Sharman Crawford, M.P., and the other Mem bers of Parliament who supported his motion for complete suffrage in the last session. John Dunlop, Esq., of I3rockloch, President of the Association, was in the Chair ; and was supported on the right and left by Mr. Sharman Crawford, Mr. Joseph Sturge, Mr. Collins, Mr. Vincent, Mr. Biggs, of Nottingham ; Provost Henderson and Rev. Mr. Brewster, of Pais ley ; Mr. Reid and Mr. Patterson,of Glasgow; Rev. Dr. Ritchie, Rev. Mr. Harris, Messrs. Tait, John ston, Howison, Aytoun, &c., of Edinburgh. The room Was well filled, and there were several ladies present. The CHAIRMAN introduced the object of the meet ing in a speech of considerable length, and read apo logies for absence from the following Members of Parliament :—Messrs. John O'Connell, Scholefield, Bowling, Williams, Cobden, and Hume. He con cluded by propoSing " Honour to their guest, Mr. W. Sharman Crawford, and the other patriotic sup porters, in the Commons House of Parliament, of the principles of complete suffrage ;" which was responded to with every demonstration of lively enthusiasm. • Mr. CRAWFORD was received with enthusiastic applause. After some introductory observations, thanking the meeting for the warmth of his recep tion, he said—l This meeting, I conceive, is not in tended for the sole purp ose o f expressing your acknowledgments to me, and to those Members who voted with me, but to make such an exhi bition of our principles in this city as may tend to produce that amount of moral power in the empire by which alone our objects can be carried. —(Loud cheers.) What we want is, justice fur the whole people. We want to do away with class voters, with class legislators, and with class legisla tion. These are the great evils under which the people of this country suffer—these are the evils which we desire to remove. The theory of our Constitution is, that the three estates, in which the powers of our Constitution are vested, should work for the common good of the whole, and that in order to this, each es tate should counteract the evil that is in the other. This is the theory of the Constitution ; but when you come to the practice, where is it ?—([dear, hear.) The Constitution ought to consist of three estates — the Crown, the Lords, and the P e ople. Where is the estate of the people ? Where is the House where the name of the people may be heard ?—(Hear, hear.) Is the House of Commons a fair represen tation of the people ?—(No.) Well, then, what has become of the Constitution now ? The landed and the moneyed aristocracy have swamped the other orders. The people's voice cannot be heard: and the Constitution of the country has degenerated into an obligarchical power, which has swamped the power of the Crown and of the people.—(Hear, hear.) Our object is to restore the practice of the Constitution to its theory. We desire the stability of the throne, by making the throne conducive to the public good ; we desire the stability of the aristocracy, by preventing them from conducting themselves to the injury of the people. Neither of these orders can be secure unless their interests can be made consistent with the great in terests of the people. What is necessary for this purpose, and that which we demand is, a universality of representation. I mean that every class should be duly and fairly represented in the House of Commons. —(Applause.) We want that the working classes should have their due weight in the representative body, and a due power for the protection of their industry. 'Ve are opposed in this by the two great parties in the State. The one party, which is generally known by th e name of the Tory party, consistently oppose us ; because they publicly and openly declare that they are hostile to giving the people po . wer- But the other party who oppose us do far more injury to our cause than our de clared enemies. One class of the Liberal party have set their faces decidedly against any real extension of the suffrage of the people ; and their opposition has been particularly injurious, because they have hitherto been reckoned among the supporters of liberty ; and yet they now turn round and say, that the people are not to he trusted.—(Hear.) One of the leading persons in Parliament, who has exhibited an avowed and open hostility to the extension of the franchise, is, I regret to say, the Right Hon. Member for this City.—(Hear, V hear.) I do not wish, in any ex pression I may use, to offer the slightest disrespect to the Right lion. Member ; but on a late occasion in Parliament, when the discussion of the 0141,thit peti tion was brought forward by Mr, Duncombe, that Right Hon. Gentleman used certain remarkable expres sions in his speech, and 1 do no injustice in referring to them, because he stated, in the moat his anxiety that his constituents know what ma b l y manner, his opinions were, and that lie would not deceive them. (Mr. Crawford here read certain extracts from Mr. Macaulay's speech in the late session on the ex tension of the suffrage, the substance of which was, that if universal suffrage were granted, property would be no longer secure.) He continued -4 heard these expressions of the Right Hon. Cvntleman certainly with deep regret, and with pain. It piked me to hear a man who was raised to o ff i ces of honour an d of profit on the shoulders of the people, and who had a t one time been rather the idol of Pe~plo, thus express himself with regard to the pei2l2le, li e wa r under apprehension that - if the extension of the suf frage were brought into operation, property would ' not be secure, and he sustained his opinion by some rather minute criticism of the chlirtb petition. I admit that I thought ti l at pgtitio was injud'clous. There were sentlmmts 'expressed in it which might bee a doubtful el ara2ter; bus which I ani sure wt rp Dewr intended to he understo in the sety,9 they were taken by that 1404e:rum, I ask him not to condemn the people for the w..)rds of a day ; but to look to the conduct of the eople, and try by that means to disoover whether !here is any oyound for asserting that the people of (30.4 1- 1 1 *141 4 are hostile to the rights of prop er t y ._ (i!leeOng.) He says he would desirq to see a tary despotism raised to preservo property if the suf , frage were granted to the people. Would a military despotism preserve property ? Could all the stand ! il,lg` armies they might collect preseri a it if the masses ,f the people were hostile to it ?—(Hear.) 1 would ask him to look to the suffering of the people during the past year ; and see how they had iehaved. Have they attacked property, have they nj tired property, under their aggravated Suffer ings, when they were tempted to violate their respect :or property ?—(No.) Is it fair, is it just, for any man to stand up in the House of Commons, espe cially a man who professes to support the rights :Ind liberties of the people, and say that if the people had their due share in the representation of the coun try-, that would he destructive of the rights of pro perty ?—(Hear, hear.) I was ashamed to hear it ;it 4rieved me deeply, and I thought it strange that any :nan, representing any city, borough, or county in England, should stand up and use such expressions as these.—(Hear.) After noticing some other objections to complete suffrage, and referring to the sentiments of the Duke of Richmond and the 'Westminster AssoCiation in 1780 in favour of it, he urged upon the meeting the necessity of obtaining these ob jects by moral powers, and by refraining from every thing like force, whether that referred to the break ing up of public meetings, or any other mode of con cussing public opinion. He thought that, in farther pressing this subject upon the Legislature, the vital question was the extension of the serage, though the other points of equal electoral districts, vote by ballot, annual Parliaments, and the payment of Members, should not be lost sight of. He had brought the sub ject before last session of Parliament, and he had given notice of moving for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject in the next session ; at the same time, he was willing to resign it into the hands of any other Member whom the body should fix upon ; and, whether in or out of Parliament, he would be always ready to help forward the great cause.—(Cheers.) He con cluded by giving as a sentiment " Honour to the Chairman, and pro perity to the Edinburgh Complete Suffrage Union." Mr. DUNLOP returned thanks, and intimated that the Union already numbered among its members 800 registered electors of the city. He then introduced Mr. STURGE, who was received with great applause. He said, while I deeply feel the undeserved kindness with which you have received me, I feel relieved from the necessity of addressing you at great length—a task for which lam altogether inadequate—by the able speeches of my excellent friend and your chair. man. We.have many things to animate and encourage us in this great work. I might allude to the letters which our Council have received within these few weeks, relative to the proposed meeting of the Depu ties. 'We have had very cordial letters from all classes of Reformers, and from none more than from those that are connected with Chartist Associations : their cordiality is very striking in deed ; and one very particular feature is, that they repudiate in every case the resorting to physical force. I am one of those who, while I would make every allowance for the irritating circumstances under which our suffering poor are placed, would yet hold that the anthem which sung`peace on earth and good will towards men extends to every part of the Christian dispensation. I would not, under any circumstances, take the life of a single human being—not even to save my own ; and I can therefore be no party to any association which would in the slightest degree sanction a resort to physical force. lam satisfied that an appeal to history would show that a resort to it was as impolitic as believe . it to be un-Christian. In all such contests, whatever party is victorious, the masses of the people are sure to be.the sufferers. At the same time, we must not judge the people harshly if the presence of distress induce them to make use of injudicious expressions, when we see what goes on in higher places. Two or three years ago Sir R. Peel charged Lord John Russell with arming one portion of the population against another; and so he did, I believe, offer arms to those of the middle classes that would have them.—(Hear, hear.) We also find that Your talented Member said, in the House of Com mons, that he hoped, if the efforts of the people for universal suffrage should succeed, it would be put down by a military despotism, or something of that kind. We have also at this moment got on hand two wars against the Chinese and the Affghans. I allude to these, not . as in any way justifying their proceed ings, for no one can condemn them more than I do ; but to adduce them as a reason why the middle classes should not stand aloof from the masses when they are disposed, by peaceable agitation, to obtain their poli tical rights. I hold that it is as unjust to charge great principles with the faults of those who pretend to ad vocate them, as it would be. to charge Christianity with the murder of the Chinese and the Affghans that is now going on, or with the burnings that took place some centuries ago. I hope no one will allow the actions of individuals to lower his estimate of great principles.—(Loud cheers.) Among other things that I consider to be matter of encouragement, is the result of three or four elections which took place in consequence of the late shameful compromises in the House of Commons. One of these was at Southamps ton, where my excellent friend George Thompson polled within three or four votes of the Whig candi date who was also standing for the plane ; and that town is one of the most aristocratic in the kingdom. Of the election at Ipswich, as Henry 'Vincent is pre sent, I shall only say that the to'n is in the centre of an agricultural - district, and that Vincent went down to assist two other candidates ; but as these gentle men were disqualified from some proceedings at for mer elections, the town was in want of a candidate,he was induced to put forward his name ; and four days after he entered the town he polled 473 votes, while the highest number polled for the Tory was (Cheers.) I know that a number of wealthy men in the town polled for him. There was another election expected to come on in the town of Reading, also in the midst of an agricultural district, and we had a candidate ready for it also. I remember seeing in some Tory paper an alarm expressed that we should poll one-third of the constituency ; but my belief is that we should have had two,fifths. of them.—(Hear.) With regard to the Nottingham election, my friend Mr. Biggs is present, otherwise I should have men.... tioned one or two facts. But I must say, that when the deputation came to Birmingham tn ask me to stand as the complete suffrage candidate, one of the principal reasons which decided me was, the assurance that theN was no hope of my return:---(Laughter)--and that they did not expect to poll more than four or five hundred votes in my favanr,—(llear, hear.) I assure you, with all my realwt fur your honoured guest, I have no desire to go into the House of Com mons, at least till there area few more honest men lily himself there. But the result of the election for that borough, which is one of the most corrupt in the king dom, and with the disadvan . tagio ett a, compromise 1, show that the l o a t r i g ie e r i c het half of their po account oBfolmA votes, t o N t: h l views, among the leading Whig and Tories, to stand by AO let a Tory candidate in, and-bCing no great ilwourlte and while the other o p ne a ns r et t th opponents 111114Wiid 1,885 . -- (Cheers 4 . ;, ) ,Hll44, Tl N lr l voteswi the in gold,lnnkeepers s still l w o o n us— referrinu to that we have only to go steadily ilvwarti, and the time is not far distant when constituencies will return Members that will do justice to the people. After I symptakus, arlein g front various ire?.tings he had held in different towns in England, and tin number of country papers that were advocating gAp views, though Ow London Press, he wlrnittod, were still mostly In the hands of the two great parties, he tasrred to an article lately published in the NT ..,omonitirmist newspaper, that if 250 English , hcgoughs would declare for the com plete suffmses movement, the cause ws won. These boroughs formed the half of the flglish representa tions; but it was assumed, and he thought justly, that Scotland and 'Mend would go along with the movement, The constituency of these boroughs amounts to one hundred and sixty thousand, and of these eighty thousand would give a majority ; so that upon these eighty Thousand electors depended the destinies of country. He concluded amidst much cheering by proposing the sentiment, 't Ably the princi ples of Christianity soon find a place in our halls of legislation." The meeting , was afterwards addressed by the Rev. George Horn, Mr. Patterson, of Glasgow, Mr. Vin cent, Dr. Ritchie, Mr. Bias% of Nottingham, Mr, Collins, of Birmingham, Rev. P. Brewster, provost Henderson, 40,; and the meeting did not. wparate till past midnight. oiYtuurel: c l4 inge s LAKES or Culsiamtratin.—The facilitie QW in operation for the conveyance of passeager tourists, and their concomitant advantages, have nowhere been more beneficially experienced than during the last three weeks, in tim good town of Ulverston, especially among the innkeepers, the principal part of whom have had their establishments nightly filled with tourists to and from the Lake district, the chief part of whom came by way of Fleetwood. Tourists should not omit visiting the Bay of Morcombe, which they are now enabled to do with facility, by means of the steamer from Fleetwood.--Kendal Mercury.

DISTRESS OF AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. most valuable characteristics of our national mind are going, and many a proud hand that would at one time have been insulted at the offer of charity, relief, assistance, now ; with sunken cheeks and heart-prostrated mein, asks for leave to live. The time seems to be past when there is hope in asking " leave to toil.' , Employment is gone. Tens of thousands of well informed, kind-hearted, in many cases religiously minded men, are starving.at this moment. Ought men exhibiting such propriety and principle to • be thus oppressed ? Not many days ago I saw a fi n e woman—the wife of one of our most industrious, steady ope ratives, and she, equally deserving—take the last under-flannel garment she had to the pawn shop. It was the third and the best;. she got ninepence from the pawnbroker. It was even ing, and on that day two of that family had not broken their fast. The mother had given to the children that morning what was in the house eat able, while she arid her husband, who sat by, had nothing. Words would fail to express the actual condi tion of the working population of " the most Christian land on the face of God's earth." Let the evils of which I speak descend on the heads of those: who taunt us by saying "There is the workhouse ;. why don't you go in ?" Afltay of us have been reared by honest, respected parents, whose memories we cherish, and .who struggled through .trying times without yielding their inde pendence. Hitherto we have paid our way, and lived in happiness and some sort of contentment, and no degree of suffering can bring many of us to the pauper-pitch. We have passed our lives in a different class, and we brave the cold of winter, the chance of death and relief, rather than have it said we are paupers. We have hands to work for our food. God has given seed time and harvest, summer and winter, and these do not fail. Why should we yield to the narrowed dic tates of a compulsory charity when justicede mands our freedom from the tyranny? Much is said of " the distress in the manufac turing districts." It may answer the purpose of some to encourage the idea of distress being al most entirely confined to these districts; but the truth is far otherwise. I believe no one has had more opportunity of judging than I have, and my conviction is, that the agricultural districts are absolutely worse. Suffering there is borne with more patience, because the minds and stations of the labourers and farmers are more debased than those of the manufacturing operative ; their real condition is truly awful. They have fewer scru ples as to the applying for relief, but even what is granted is barely sufficient to keep body and soul together—in some cases it has been proved so. Well, the leaves are falling. Winter's voice is heard, and Famine is coming hand in hand with it. Oh, that the land we love, and the altars we have seen our fathers prize, were saved from the ordeal through which they must soon be called to pass. A SUFFERING BORDERER. Kendal, Sept. 26. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. The following has been posted at Lloyd's:— NOTICE TO MARINERS. HYdrographic-office, Admiralty, Sept. 26, 1842. The following information, dated April last, has been received by her Majesty's Government : "DISAPPEARANCE OF THE BUOYS AND BEACONS AT TILE ENTRANCE OF COCKBURN SOUND, WESTERN AUS- " Mariners are hereby informed, that the buoys and beacons which at various times have been placed between Garden and Carnac Islands, for the purpose of showing the channel into Cockburn Sound, hay e disappeared, and that until they are replaced the pilots have been directed not to attempt the passage There is a perfectly safe entrance to the summer anchorage of Gage Roads, either to the northward or Rottenest Island o near its southern end, and also from Gage Roads to the winter resort of Owen an chorage, on approaching which all vessels will be boarded by a pilot."

The Jury convioted the prisoner. In answer to a que3tion from tlw Court the prosecutor said the loss would be very ilurtful to him as he was a young tradesman. The. Common Sergeant then sentenced the prisoner to ten years' transportation beyond the seas. " But this I will do," said the Judge, "if you will cause the property to be returned to this poor man, or the value of it, or any portion of it, I will ex ercise my Kowa' to procure a very considerable miti gatioa 4 your sentence ; your modicum of punish. therefore, rests with yourself; for I cannot help considering that while sitting here we ought to endeavour to obtain restitution, as well as to inflct punishment," LONDON AND DOVER RAILWAY.-It has frequently fallen to our lot to record cases o f ex tortion, and more frequently instances of vexation and annoyance I by landowners against Railway Companies; it is, therefore, with peculiar satisfaction that we notice an act of a very different character on the part of Sir E.lward Cholmeley Dering, of Surrnden Dering, Rent. The Dover Railway Company found, on the opening of their line to Headcorn, that a material difficulty would arise in enabling; the Dover and Ashford coaches to communicate with the station, in consequence of the narrowness and bad state of a pariah road connecting the turnpike roads. The difficulty could not he met either by sending the traffic a considerabl e di stance round, or by passing. through Surrend en P ar k , Sir Edward,- on a repre seMiktion of the matter, most liberally granted per mission for the eoaches to pass through his avenue and park, it was a concession of no ordinary chart as the road passes for upwards of a mile I thrqugh the beautifully ornamented grounds, and close to the ancient family mansion. This public ' spirit is beyond . all prai se , and the name of Sir Edward Dering will long h e held in honourable re- MEanbrance for the noble example which he has set. 1 --. Railway Times.

Sia,—There are so many attempts to impose upon the public, by sale of cheap Beef and Pork from pretended importations of these articles from Ame rica and the Continent, although the Tariff does not . admit salted Beef or Pork until after the 10th of October, that you may think it fit to publish the fol. ! . lowing exceptions in the tariff to the time of admis sion, and that the Duties on all articles not enumerated below took effect from the passing of the Act, viz. Beef, salted, not being Corned Beef, pays now 12s. per cwt., and after the 10th October will be charged Bs. per cwt. Beef, fresh, or slightly salted, which was prohibited is admitted paying Bs. per cwt. from foreign coun tries ; but those articles from British Colonies will pay only 2s. per cwt.

There were grounds, perhaps,. for allowing some time to the South Sea . whalers, which take up two and-a-half or three years in the voyage • but loss must arise 'to every bolder o f goo d s on which he has paid a high duty, when the duty is lowered, as has been the case with almost the whole of the articles in the Tariff. The exceptions made by Sir Robert Peel were pressed upon him by particular interests, and I think.he must now be convinced that he acted wrong in yielding to any , applications. I know" that the postponement of the lower duty on timber until .Oc tober has been productive of much distress to the work ing carpenters generally, as the masters have been un-• ' willing to buy timber to carry on any work with the high duty, when a. few months' delay would save it. The postponement of the reduction of the duty on Onion Seeds was, we are informed, very disereil..itable, as it has thrown considerable profit into the Lands of a few speculators, who had interest with the Board of Trade to procure the alteration.. The por,tponetnent of the reduction of the duty on Cork was also the. result of solicitation, by which the monopoly on that article is continued for a year longer. • I take the opportunity of stating that the public will not derive the advantage which the reductions in the Tariff ought : to give to the consumers, until the delays and impediments at the Custom-house arc- removed; and Until that Board is reduced in number to two Commissioners, and one or two Seerehwies, there is little hope of these impediments being removed.

The Jury were at first summoned with an idea that it was an ordinary case of sudden death ; but, from facts that afterwards transpired, the Coroner deemed it ne cessary to have a post mortem examination of the body ; the result of which proved there was the deceased. quantity of arsenic in the stoma? . of implicate any ',ind;viclual ; but it is asserted, that deceased.
