The Baltic left New York on Wednesday, the 24th ult. ; the British and north American steamer Canada arrived at Boston on the 19th ; and the screwsteamer Glasgow cleared at New York, on the :19th, for Glasgow. The political news by this arrival is not im portant. The proceedings in Congress had been chiefly directed to the urgency that existed for repressing the outrages of the Indians ix Nebraska territory ; it is proposed to raise a volunteer corps of 3,000 men to put down and repress the Indians rt that quarter, who are to be remunerated by some pre sent pay, and the allotment of some acres of terri tory to each volunteer, at the end of the war, which will, of course, be one of extermination. The following are extracts from the New York journals :—..

In Newport there are no fevier than six recruiting parties for Artillery. ➢larines, and the line, the 46th being among the latter.

" Bet among first offenders, while there is much to dread from the corruption of a prison and loss of cha racter connected with imprisonment, there is also much that is satisfactory. During the present year we re ceived 200 prisoners from the Middlesex House of Correc tion, who passed through their punishment in Newgate, and gave me additional means of observation on their conduct, motives, and intentions. The daily siervieein the prison has a decided and salutary influence on many. As far as we can judge of what is in the mind by what is said and done by individuals, many instances of sincere penitence are found among prisoners. Generally speak. ing, in Newgate, seven out of eight do not return to the same prison again: And if we include all whose subse quent history we get to know, considerably more than one-half never come more than once under the fearful penalties of the criminal law." The Orion, 91 guns, new screw steam-ship, was on Saturday towed down to Sheerness, from Folly Point, and berthed at Blackstokes, fur taking in ammunition, shell, &c., and for the adjustment of her compasses.

CALCULATIONS ON THE MINISTRY.- What statesman can best gui&e the affairs of the nation, and minister to the exigencies of the times, is a question very justly can vassed. Comfort is ministered to ever/body by the seasonable clothing manufactured by E. MOSE 3 and Sox. That every one in the City, in the country, and in all parts of the world may have the ministry of the newest and most appropriate articles of dress, Ti. Mons and Sox have recently improved the styles and quality, and reduced the price of all goods thoy submit to the inspection of the public. At E. Moms an/ SON'S the most commodious Clothing, Hat, Hosiery, and Boot and Shoe departments, are connected with the most comprehensive Wholesale business in the world. This offers better investments for Merchants, Captains, and Emigrants than any other merchandise can secure. ----- SPECIAL NOTICE.—UntiI March 10%55, E.

THE GREENLAND SEAL FISHERY.—Thirty vessels sail this month from the east coast of Scotland for the Greenland Seal Fishery. There are 'extensive prepara tions 'making for sending out a number of whalers to Cumberland Straits, to the winter fishery, to be prose cuted in the same manner as Captain Penny prosecuted it in the winter and spring of 1854. The specie brought by the steamer Madrid from the Peninsula is 12,5001,, and by the Bacchante, African mail, about 12,0001. APPOINTMEgTS. Commanders—David Miller (1853), to the Majestic, 80, screw steam-ship, at Sheerness ; William R. Rolland (1855), recently promoted from First-Lieutenant of the gatnemnon ' 91, screw steam-ship, on the Black Sea station, to the Nile, 91, screw steam-ship, at Devonport ; Augustus John Burton (1853), to the Cressy, 80, screw steam-ship, at Sheerness. Lieutenants.—Charles G. Nelson (1854), from the Excellent gunnery-ship, at Portsmouth, to the Impe rieuse, 51, screw steam-frigate, at Portsmouth ; Lewis M. Croke, to the Imperieuse. THE BALTIC FLEET. Portsmouth again resounds with the din and bustle of preparations for the approaching naval campaign in the Baltic, and " all hands" are busily employed from morning until night, and long after the usual "routine" hours of labour in several of the Governmental de partments. Night and day are the ovens at work at the Clarence victualling establishment, which it would be impossible to have more efficiently worked. Portsmouth dockyard was never in greater ac tivity. Indeed, so much work is there that the Duke of Wellington cannot be refitted there, but is ordered to Keyham, and the Dragon was lately ordered to Ply mouth from tho same alleged cause. The James Watt, 91, screw, is in the old fitting basin with the greater part of her machinery out, being defective, and her fore and mainmasts are out from the same cause ; these and also leer defective boilers are being attended to with all despatch in the respective departments, and she will speedily be re-rigged as soon as her crew are again mus tered, about 400 of whom are at present on leave. Cap tain Elliot, we believe, rejoined yesterday. The Blen heim, 60, screw blockship, Captain W. H. Hall, is in the steam basin shipping new boilers, which were being got in yesterday. The Pembroke, screw blockship, Captain G. H. Seymour, was masted yesterday, and will be equipped forthwith. The Hastings, 60, screw blockship, Captain Caffin, was undocked yesterday after noon, before going under the shears to be masted ; her boilers were not in, having been delayed by the railway company from this accidental cause :—On attempting to get them on to trucks their best crane-chain broke twice, and yesterday the engineer department of the dockyard was obliged to send gear to the station to help to get the boilers delivered. A novel mode of shipping the masts of thee blockships has been put in practice at Portsmouth dockyard. Before being slung, these masts have had their tops and the whole of their lower rigging placed upon them, their topmasts pointed through the caps, and all hackstays, &c., attached, all which has been done on the jetty under the superintendence of the Master-Attendant and Master-Rigger, and, all being secured together, the lower masts, topmasts, and their fittings are hoisted by the shears. One (the Pembroke) out, and the other (the Hastings) inside the basin, thus received their masts at the same time, and pre sented an immediate appearance of much forwardness in their outward fitment. They will have crews of GOO men each. The Hogue, GO, screw blockship, Captain Ramsay, in the steam basin dock, has re fitted, and only waits the shipment of her new boilers, which she will have in a fortnight or sooner, to be 'again ready for service. The Edinburgh, 60, screw blockship, Captain Hewlett, and the Conflict, 8, Cap tain Canning, are expected at Portsmouth from Leith to refit. The Imperieuse, 50, screw frigate, Captain R. B. Watson in the steam-basin, is re-equipped ready for sea all but the shipment of some stores, which she will take on board in a few days. The Arrogant, 47, screw frigate, Captain Yelverton, will be refitted and out of dock by the 10th. The Centaur, 6, paddle frigate, got up steam yesterday morning, and proved them by work ing her paddles in the steam-basin. Captain Clifford arrived in the morning, and hoisted the pendant on board. The Falcon, 17, Commander Pullen, is complete in•the engineer department,and all atannto 'in rig: - She , only wants a crew to fit her out. The - oriel, 9,. Core manderLuce, is also all atannt in the harbour, but not manned. The Ajax, 60, screw block-ship, Captain Warden, is all ready for' sea at Spithead, with the Geyser, 6, paddle sloop, Commander Dew. The Pene lope, 18, Captain Sir W. Wiseman, the Sampson, 6, and Retribution, 28, paddle frigates, will be im mediately taken in hand and refitted. The two latter require a great deal of work to be made again fit for ac tion. .The Palter gun-boat remains an experiment tender to the Excellent gunnery ship. THE NEW CORPS OF DRIVERS. The raising and organisation of the new corps of drivers for service in the East is to be confided to officers of cavalry, a major of which arm of the service will com mand in chief. The corps will be divided ipto 12 troops of 100 non-commissioned officers and drivers, each offi cered by a captain, two lieutenants, and one sub-lieu tenant, who will be taken as far as practicable from cavalry regiments. It is understood that each troop will have a commissioned quartermaster and inspector. The last-named officers, with two paymasters, troop-ser geant•rnajor, sergeants, corporals, and drivers, will be taken from the metropolitan and city police in the first instance ; and, to complete th e requ i re d num ber, young and active men, accustomed to horses, and of good character, :will be enlisted. The adjutant and sergeant-major will, of course, have served in the cavalry. The dress of the waggoners w bo il o l tq, b a e nd a a shako. pla E plain tunic, 4c or frock-coat, o vera ll s , man will be armed with a p tir of holster-pistols and a sabre ; but when on service the waggons will always be accompanied by an escort. A portion of the corps is to be placed under the orders of the Quartermaster-General, and the remainder under those of the Commissary-General, for the convey ance of provisions, &O. THE TRANSPORTS. The General Screw steam-ship Mauritius having landed her invalided troops at Portsmouth, arrived at Southampton yesterday afternoon. She will be got ready for sea as soon as possible. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship Himalaya is receiving on board 1,200 tons of coal, the Peninsular and Oriental Company baying been ordered to supply that quantity. She will then be quite ready for sea. The chartered screw steamer Crceinis left Southampton river for Portsmouth yesterday after noon. The chartered screw steamer Calcutta is in the graving dock at Southampton, and will speedily be in readiness to receive troops. The Harbinger steam-ship arrived off Southampton from the Black Sea with inva lided troops last evening. As hitherto the ease with other troop-ships which have arrived at this port, she awaits orders from Portsmouth. The following steam-ships have been engaged by the Lords of the Admiralty as regular transportS :—No. 185, Now Pelton ; No. 186, .zEtna ; No. 187, Great Britain ; No. 183, Imperial ; No. 189, Killingsworth ; No. 190, Snowdon ; No. 191, Crcesus ; No. 192, Bal tic ; No. 193, Victor ; and No. 194, Severn. The Charlotte Jane, hired freight-ship, embarked nine officers and detachments of the 67th and 69th Re giments, numbering nearly 300, at Portsmouth yester day, for Barbadoes. COURTS-MARTIAL. Yesterday, a court-martial assembled on board the flag-ship Waterloo, at Sheerness, to try Joseph Kerswell Griffon, an able seaman, for desertion from her Ma jesty's steamer Horatio, on the 19th of August last. The Court was composed of the following officers, viz. :—Captain-Superintendent Christopher Wyvill, of Chatham yard, Second i n C omman d at the Buoy of the Nore, president ; Captain-Sup er i n t en d en t J o h n Jervis Tucker ; Captain James Hope, C. 8., in com mand of the Majestic ; Captain Richard L. Warren, in command of the Cressy ; and Captain Hugh Dunlop, in command of the Tartar, assisted by Mr. W. W. - Hayward, Acting - Deputy -Judge-Advocate. All that w as proved in evidence was, that the prisoner volun teered on the 18th of August, speci6.cally for service in the Boscawen flagship, on the North American and West Indian station, and that he was only borne out on the books of the Horatio to wait a passage round to Sheerness to be put on beard the flagship for the fi rs t chance of conveyance to join the ship for which be had volunteered. There being therefore no evidence to show that the prisoner belonged to the Horatio, the court acquitted him. He was, however, ordered to remain under charge of the Provost-Marshal, to await the deci sion of their Lordships as to whether he should be tried for desertion while serving as a supernumerary on board the Horatio, he having volunteered and taken the usual declaration to serve on board the Boscavven. A court-martial was held on board the flagshipWater leo, at Sheerness, on Friday, at which Captain-Superin tendent Chi istopher Wyvill presided, and W. W. Hay ward officiated as Deputy-Judge-Advocate i to try Mr. Charles J. Puller, second-master, on the following charges—viz., for absenting himself from the Janus, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, be at the time being com manding-officer, and for bringing spirits on board the said vessel, contrary to the order of Lieutenant-Com mander Colin C.A.Kane. Commander 'Kane prosecuted. The Court were of opinion that the charges were fully proved, and sentenced Mr. Puller to be dismissed her Majesty's service. A number of testimonials were put in by the prisoner. RECRUITING IN WALES. The recruiting for the line is actively going on in the various districts of South Wales. At Swansea, Car diff, Carmarthen, &c., Ufa recruiting sergeants have been MILITA.RY. The 13th, 54th, .60th, and 92d Regiments, now in , Gibraltar, are ordered to the Crimea. They will be re placed by militia, regiments. Captain Travers's company, sth battalion, and Captain Hawkins's company, 7th battallion, Royal Artillery, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark for the Crimea for siege gun service. Nearly all the troops in Athlone have been despatched .to the seat of war. Two companies of the 90th Regi ment left on Friday to join head-quarters at Mullingar, previous to,marching to Cork for embarkation. Of the Ist Royals a draught consisting'of 290 rank and file left by mid-day. train for Cork forembarkation. A draught of the 13th Regiment, numbering 250, with eight officers, arrived in - Cork on Thursday, and proceeded to Queenstown on Friday, whence they em barked on board her Majesty's steamer Caesar for the Crimea. - A draught of the 92d* Highlanders accompa nies the 13th. Major Pratt, 41st Regiment, expects to arrive in Cork with a draught of his 'regiment, for embarkation to the Crimea, in the Himalaya. It was Sir Neil Douglas who, when in 'coral:nand of the 79th Highlanders, instituted a regimental order of merit, whieh was attended with the tppiest results. There were two branches of the order, distinguished by silver and bronze medals, the reconainendatiOns to which were made by committees of serjeants and pri vates, who scrutinized the claims of all aspirants to the distinction. These medals might be forfeited for any military offence—such as insubordination, drunkenness, or neglect of duty ; but the man who had earned them by good conduct took pains to preserve them. Men who had been considered as incorrigible were reclaimed, and became some of the best behaved soldiers in the regiment. _ _ bn " order of merit," or good conduct medal, was also worn by the 424 Highlanders when that renowned corps was commanded by the late gallant Sir Robert Henry Dick. Owing to the pressing exigencies of the public service, all the staff of the Qua rt e rmas ter - General's-office in Dublin were fully employed the whole of Sunday last. THE MILITIA. In consequence of the absence of Lieutenant• Colonel the Earl of Uxbridge on Parliamentary duties the com mand of the Second (King's O wn) Staffordshire Light Infantry Regiment has, during the past Week, devolved upon Major Dyott. Assista - .nt-Surgeon Henry Thomas Lomax bas been appointed to be Surgeon, vice Harland, resigned. In the let Regiment of King's Own Stafford s hi re M ilitia, Ensign Duley Edward Laurin has received the appoint ment of Lieutenant, vice Pye, appointed to an ensign ship in the line. In the King's Own Rifl e R egiment of Staffordshire Militia, Henry St. George Priaulx, late of the 4th Light Dragoons has been appointed to be Cap tain, vice Frith, resigned ; Lieutenant John Broughton to be Captain, vice Lane, appointed to the Coldstream Guards ; William Lee Gresley, to be Lieutenant, vice Knight, resigned ; Second Lieutenant Francis Vere Wright to be Lieutenant, vice Broughton, promoted James Garrard King to be Ensign. The total number - of militia regiments now embodied for permanent duty is 64. During the past week the reserve corps of the lst So merset Regiment of Militia assembled in'the barracks at Taunton for inspection, previous to their being sent to Plymouth to fill up the vacancies in the garrison there, caused by others of the regiment having volunteered into the line. The following appointments have been made in This regiment :_Ensign W. G. V. Villiers to be Lieutenant, vice Langdon, resigned ; Herbert Parker Owens to be Ensign, vice Villiers, promoted. The Aberdeenshire Militia has received nearly half the required.number of volunteers, but the regular ser vice continues to be far more attractive to the young men of the north. At Aberdeen, during the last three months, 300 recruits have been received into the 79th, and only 280 into the Militia. A draught of 80 men from the 79th has gone to head-quarters in the Crimea. The recruits are strong, healthy lads, and are soon drilled for active service. In Caithness the required n'imber is nearlyimade up ; but is Sutherland and Skye few volunteers have come forward. ,The Donegal Regiment has been enrolled, and the re cruits are paraded twice a-day.

The Earl of Elgin, late Governor-General Of Canada, was entertained at a public dinner in the Musio Hall, Dunfermline, on Friday last, by between 300 and 400 gentlemen. The company chiefly consisted of the landed proprietors and tenants of the western districts of Fife, and the burgesses.of Dumfermline. Provost ROBERTSCf, who presided, proposed the toast of the evening. The Earl of Elam, in reply, said—Mr. Provost and Gentlemen,—l am at a loss to find words to express my sense of the cordiality of this welcome. I have met with much kindness in other places—l have met with kind receptions even beyond the precincts of the British em pire—and I should be ungrateful, indeed, if I were to forget the reception which I met with at the hands 'of our excellent cousin, Jonatban. (Laughter.) But, gen tlemen, I must say that I feel at this moment that, after all, "there is no place like home,. (Applause.) I appre ciate this welcome all the mor e hi ghly that it is not a political ma:nifestation—that it is not tendered by men who have any pasty objects to serve in bringing me for ward, but that it is the genuine expression of the kind of fhininy neighbours in this dis k.that • a more conclusive p f t e r e ie li t n . g ( s c o h f e r e e r g e a .) rd I f o d r e m n , e t proof of the unpartisan character of this meeting could possibly have been given than has been afforded in the toast which was drunk immediately before that which you are now doing such honour to, for we have been drinking the health of her Majesty's Ministers, without having the slightest conception who these ministers are. (Laughter and cheers.) Gentlemen,. I believe that the manner in which that toast was received is a true indi cation of what the sentiments of the people of this coun try are at the present moment,' I believe that the people of this country are ready to, give a f a i r an d can did su pp or t to any administration that our gracious Sovereign may select, if they show themselves competent to deal with our great national difficulties, and r eso l ved to set as id e every party and personal consideratio n that could stand in the way of their dealing properly with these difficulties ; and, gentlemen, I believe that the feeling of this cottntry, too, is, that they will, irrespective of party considerations, turn about their business any administration who show them selves deficient in these qualities. (Applause.) My gallant friend, in returning thanks for the navy, said he believed our men were dying to "get at them." I be lieve the same thing may be said of the army; and we must have an administration that will give them the means of "getting at them." (Cheers.) I am coufident that I speak the feelings of the great majority of the people of this country, when I say that such an admi nistration—l do not care from what party it may be formed—when it is forlued, will hav e t h e support and confidence of this country. (Applause.) W e are no t going to let the despotic Powers of the world suppose that energy, and constancy , and steadiness o f govern ment are a monopoly in their hands , and that, un d er our constitutional system, we cannot carry out war with effect. (Hear, hear.) But to go back to my own case —fey this has been a digressien—slight as my former services have been, I may venture to hope that my future services- may justify your present kindness ; and, gentle true, gentlemen, that I men, I think I may find some ground for that hope in i4nwittveierytechnically termed the fo reignthe reflection that, after all, the duties is which I have a service svhich,uttoyotuhemeyusets been engaged may not, perhaps, prove to have been al together an unsuitable preparative, or an unfitting pre lude to the duties which I may be called upon to render imply country. nr n et Ir which gyn. servicem on e ini apt whi e t h o political as hh earvee. bees( ppl engaged (Applause.) s e.)

It is a foreign service if you consider only the remoteness - of those pa r ts of the world in wh i ch it has been my fortune to be employed ; but it is a domestic ser vice if you consider that during the whole of the period it was with the interests of Englishmen, and Scotchmen, and Irishmen, and their descendants I had to deal. (Applause.) A n d, gentlemen, allow me to say, that whatever is distinctive in our national character irs, if possible, exhibit e d even in stronger and bolder relief in those remote portions - of the empire than Woven is at home. In the first place, they are not the l eas t enter prising, not the least energetic, not the least pushing of our fellow-countrymen, who set off to distant lands to improve their fortunes ; and, in the next place, they find greater room there for self-development and self expansion than they find at home. The noble speaker proceeded to speak of his expe rience in Jamaica and Canada, and illustrated from the fa cts o f his administra tion,in those colonies.the advantag e of giving free play to the self-governing tendencies and abilities of English men. Lord Elgin then continued :—I would not wish to 'inflict on you a dissertation on colonial politics here— but, as I have been so long absent from home, and as you have given me so kind a welcome on my return, I think I amin duty bound to show you how I h ave been i engaged during-ray absence- -in what school I have been studying—and how far the discipline to which I have been subjected is likely to make me a proper and useful servant among yourselves. (Applause.) I wish to say, further, that 1 return to this country with a stronger conviction than I had, even before I left, on one or two points. In the first place, I have a stronger faith in the good sense and in the powers of self-government of my fellow-countrymen. (Rear, and applause.) And, gen tlemen, I have not been a dilettanti on this subject ; I have put the thing to the test. Then I have also a stronger conviction, if possible, even than I had before, of the superiority for all practical purposes of our own institutions over theSe of any other country. lam not talking of European countries merely—l sup pose we are all at one on that point, for any con troversy that could be raised on that subject would be one wholly out of date—but I have had opportunities greater, perhaps, than any man ever before enjoyed, of contrasting the working of our institutions with theee - of our great neighbour in America, the United States. I have had this very remarkable oppor tunity that, on the soil of the continent alongside of the United States, with a sacial condition to deal with quite as democratic as the social condition of the United States, I have been working the English system against the system of the United States ; and I do say that, in many respects, we have the advantage over them, though, at the same time, I do wish to pay all respect to the United States. I have received very great kindness in that country ; and I must say I think the constitution of the United States is a very marvellous work of wis dom, concerning the circumstances under 'which it was formed. In the first place, I think that our monarchial system gives us very great advantage, that the head of the State represents the unity of the nation—represents those great and paramount interests which unite us, and which in that respect are distinguished from those which divide us. In all free countries those interests and considerations that divide us naturally obtain a very important place. Earnest men form themselves into parties, with the object of promoting their own particu lar views of what they consider for the public interest, and ambitious men form themselves into parties for the sake of promoting personal objects ; and ear great ad vantage over the United States in this respect is this, that whereas, in the republican system, the head of the State is necessarily the type and embodiment of party interests, the head of the State, under our system is, the embodiment of the national and general interest. (Loud cheers.) And I can tell you the practical way in which that advantage tells. There is only one way in a re public in which you can get absolute unity of sentiment, and that is by effecting hostility against a foreign coun try. A successful general unites the suffrages of the whole of the patriotic people ; but it is impossible, in that free country, that a party man, in questions of domestic policy, should unite together the suffrages of the people. But there is another advantage we possess over them, which is of a different character, and which will, per haps, come home to the sympathy of people representing all manner of opinions in this room—as I hope all manner of opinions are represented here. (Applause.) The truth is that we, the popular will, tell on the execu tive government much more immediately and directly under our system than the popular voice does in the United States. You could not have a more curious exemplification of the difference between these sys tems than you have at this moment. We have been drinking the Ministry to-night—we know not who they are ; but a short time ago we had a government in this country which up to a recent period had received cer tainly a large share of Parliamentary support, and which used to command the confidence of Parliament. Ido not say whether it ought to have lust the confidence of Parliament or not ; I am not entering into that ques tion but we find that when a motion was ,brought for ward by which the confidence of the Parliament in the Government was tested, and when that motion was car ried against them, that Government retired, and the Government of the country will now be committed into other hands. But what would have been the state of matters in America Why, there never was .a president who was elected with a greater appearance of popular support than the present President of the United States, and,l venture to say that there never was an adminis tration which seemed to be more utterly discredited among all parties than the present administration in the United States ; but you will observe that under the American system they are saddled with,that gentleman for four years, and I defy them to get rid of him, or his Ministers, if he chooses to keep them. Now, we have in this country that privilege which in social life is only supposed to be enjoyed by the ladies—and I am not quite sure that that privilege is not restricted to the ladies of Aberdeen—(a laugh)—we have the privilege of changing our minds, whereas under the American system they are not able to do so except once in four years. (Applause.) The noble lord then concluded by propos ing the Provost and Magistrates of Dunfermline, and prosperity to the trade of the town. , r.iir.RRISONIIIENT FOR FIRST OFFENCES. • ' Mr. Davis, the ordinary of Newgate, mede ee repo rt principally en the effects of imprisonment upon youth ful delinquents to the Court of Aldermen 'on the last day of meeting. The Mowing are extracts.:— " I shall on this occasion draw the attention of the court not so much to th 1 causes of crime in the metro polis, upon which on past opportunities I have said much, as I should wish to point out to the magistrates what are the effects of imprisonment. For I think these present a subject for profound consideration and are matter of very great importance, not merely to the nation at large, but to a numerous and comparatively helpless body of our fellow-ereatures. My own feeling has been for several years growing as my experience has become mere extended into a strong persuasion that we now have a vast deal too much imprisonment." After stating that he did not allude to imprisonment for daring outrages, the Ordinary proceeds : "But while there have been during the last 20 years the most commendable efforts made to improve the coo -1 struction, management, discipline, and dietary of pri sons, there has been also, in my opinion, a mistaken zeal on the part of Parliament to multiply petty offences. "The suppression for the cry of Sweep in the streets makes the West-end of London a great deal - more quiet; but the poor sweep's bey who perseveres in his cry and: is unable to pay the fine imposed for his offence is corn mitted to prison in default. He becomes, for the sake of a quiet street, initiated in thieving ; he is taught the usefulness of his art for entering houses or chapels by the flues or chimneys, and eventually is converted into an expert burglar, to the terror of the same quiet streets, and I think to the confusion of such unwise legislation. A boy in the thoughtlessness of childhood throws a steno, breaks a window, is fined, then impri soned in default, learns tricks of dishonesty, comee a second time to prison, is sent to a refuge, apprenticed, quarrels with his master who will not let him go to plays, buys a pistol, shoots his master, and finally is executed at the Old Bailey. When the Legislature passed the law that' made the cry of 'Sweep' punish able by fine or imprisonment, or when the same result took place for throwing a stone, no one contemplated such effects from the brief imprisonment inflicted as led in one of these instances to a serious burglary, by enter ing the house at the chimney, and to the death of the other at the usual place of execution for the metropolis. But both facts are of importance, as indicating the powerful tendency an imprisonment for a slight offence has in producing a state of mind that ended in two of the most serious crimes against the peace and security of society ; and they seem to me to point out that it would be far better, for a first offence of such trivial character, to adopt some other mode of punishment than imprisonment, by which new mode we might neither ' spare the rod,' nor spoil the child.' " In the list of now offences, which years ago were not offences by enactment, might be found, ringing door-bells in the streets, blowing a horn, shaking a mat, telling a falsehood about a seaman's register ticket, stealing a turnip, an egg, a penny, under circumstances of great temptation, by a mere child trundling an iron hoop, sweeping mud down a gully hole, getting drunk, impertinence in a cabman or conductor of an omnibus, insubordination in a workman, &c., all of which are a fertile source of mischief in the metropolis by reason of imprisonment. Scarcely an Act of Parliament passes on sewers, nuisances, poor law, watching, lighting, water companies, dock or gas improvement, but that new of fences are created to add to the already burdened prison. The result is that a fresh supply of persons springs up, ruined in character by imprisonment and reckless by despair of ever recovering their position in society, who rush madly into crime, and become formidable and dangerous to the community. The loss of position thus produced frequently entails a much severer punishment than that imposed by the law. Persons damaged in character lose their employment ; want engenders evil thoughts, and slight temptations suffice, where the mind is willing, to lead into crimes that are followed by consequences still more disastrous. And when the greater part of these evils may be traced to the inti macies formed in prisons, the only reasorable conclusion to be drawn from this state of things is, that every humane suggestion should be listened to, and every means adopted to spare, if possible, a imprison firstment. " But it is in prisons where neither silence nor separa tion is enforced, and where they cannot be carried arerried out, that the greatest contamination and corruption effected. The conversations in which thieves delight to indulge, of their daring exploits, hair-breadth escapes, their hardened deceitfu lness, their monstrous lies and inventions, are detailed into willing ears, and their hearers too often become apt pupils. Notwithstanding the classification of prisoners to a certain extant, and the mos t marked separation between known and unknown offenders, those brought as inmates for the first time are, and must be, more or less exposed to those evils ; and when we know that these things aro so, the results from a first imprisonment cannot be too closely watched, nor, I think, too carefully avoided. " Young girls of the description referred to become a serious evil in the seductions they effect, and in the in fluence their pernicious vices hold over buys of their own ago unrestrained by moral feeling. These girls do not so much become the inmates of a prison as they become the companions of those who live by dishonesty. And there are few lives more demoralising than the lives of such persons as get their living in the street. Exposed as they are to temptations of every kind, having in many instances no settled home, passing a large portion of - The Ordinary then urges the necessity of keeping persons imprisoned for the first time in a state of silence, but quite apart from each ether ; and proceeds to point out, by the effects of imprisonment, how and why the present system fails. " Imprisonment fails among many of the juvenile offenders, and the reasons of this failure are several. The manner in which these children have been brought up has much to do with the unfortunate results of their imprisonment. When for some little offence these par ties are brought for the first time within prison walls they exhibit great terror and dismay, indicating the de terring effects of prisons on the mass of the population. Such terror soon wears off. They then find themselves fed regularly at stated times . (to them an entire Change) ; they are compulsorily kept clean.; their bedding is suffi cient-; if medical aid be necessary, it is at hand. They are, therefore, positively improved by their punishment; and could they be allowed to run in and out at pleasure, they would, I am sure, become voluntary inmates for a large portion of their time. To of personsthe ecom m e u x n p i e t r y i , en t c h e e d f im character priso of o me a t t h i i n s class failure of brought within the walls of a prison they rapidly become much worse. The exciting life of a thief attracts them ; the dexterity required pleases them ; to its shame arid degradation they are insensible. Its pleasure and pro fit outweigh every other consideration. And the expla nation is before you why for thirty or forty times these urchins are imprisoned ; and the secret, or, rather, the reason why incarceration fails is palpable. You cannot, in fact, punish Quch boys. Your dietary is an improvement on their mode of living, and nothing you can inflict will degrade them. They are brought up in such a precarious and hardy manner that public feeling and common propriety will allow of none to be so kept in prison as they are fed out of its walls. lam greatly in hopes that long periods of imprisonment with this class, and the employment of that long interval in industrial pursuits, may have a happy effect ; but I have great doubts that many will not prefer (for some years, at least,) their evil courses to their reformed habits. The sending abroad of such prisoners alter their probationary imprisonment adds greatly to the hopes of their doing well, and, at least, takes away the fear of their again becoming troublesome to the community here. Imprisonment fails also with many who make dishonesty a trade, and the reasons that apply here to account for this defect are of a character much different from the other, though to a great extent the other reasoning applies. "A reguriir London thief has by his life become in a great degree spoiled for the useful purposes of society. The degraded habits of this class are in a considerable degree unknown. The most uncomfortable lodgings in the narrowest alloys, and in the dirtiest houses of the metro polis, ere their habitations. No one who has net visited these abodes of misery can conceive the intense poverty and the utter degradation in which these parties live. It will answer .no beneficial purpose to unveil these scenes. It suffices to say that there is no poverty so severe, and in many cases there are no sufferings so hopeless, as those endured by the lowest class of the die. honest population. They are not, except in extreme sickness, lever, or pestilence, burdensome on the poor rate. Their pursuits are incompatible with the visita tations of relieving officers ; and they pine and suffer a great deal more than the community, by the plunder of whom they live, are aware or believe." • . After snaking several comments upon the ticket-of leave system, and the punishments inflicted for offences committed by hardened criminals, the Ordinary con cludes an elaborate report, bearing strong indications of thought and experience, is these words—" I think more towards the suppression of crime is to be done by avoid ing first imprisonments for small offences than by the costly and uncertain attempt at the reformation of dis charged offenders." THE NAVIG.ATION OF THE MURRAY BITER. The navigation of the Murray river seems, according to the last accounts from South Australia, to have been carried on with most satisfactory results. Although the water had been lower than for many years, Captain Cadell had again steamed in the Lady Augusta 2,000 miles from its mouth, and within 20 miles of the town of Albury in New South Wales, which he would have visited but for the river being impeded with snags. The steamers at present employed by the Murray River Navigation Company are the Lady Augusta and the Sir Henry, and these, with four barges, have been actively engaged during the present season in carrying supplies to the farm stations along the banks, and in bringing down large quantities of return arti cles, such as wool, sheepskins, tallow, &c. In this way, the three colonies of South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales, are now furnished with an out let for the produce of inexhaustible lands, which are likely in a short time to become rapidly peopled. Al together seven trips had been performed by the two steamers with their barges, and in the last the quantity of wool brought down was 793 bales. Meanwhile, the Government committee, appointed to examine the en trance to the river from the sea, which until recently was always considered impracticable, had arrived at the conclusion that by an outlay of 1,500/. for buoys, &c., the passage may be-made perfectly safe for vessels of a certain draught. This outlay had consequently been agreed to. It was likewise expected that two new Scotch steamers , the Albury and Gunda ga i, l a t e l y con structed on the Clyde, together with four iron barges from England, would soon arrive, and thus fur n i s h t h e Navigation Company with ample tonnage for all the existing traffic. From the explorations he has already male, Captain Cadell, it is said, has arrived at the con eluion that, instead of Australia being a riverless con tiuent, as hitherto represented, her internal navigation is such as few other large tracts of territory can excel. IZAILIV A Y INTELLIGENCE. ARDENNES. A concession has been granted by the French Govern ment for this railway, which comprises a line from Rheims on the Strasburg Railway to Mezieres and Charleville, with a branch to Sedan ; length 65 miles. 2. An extension of this line from Charleville to the Belgian frontier (length about 35 miles), to be constructed by the State and handed over to the company under the law of 1842, by which the company have only to provide rails and rolling stock, thus acquiring the line for two-fifths of its actual cost. 3. A line from Creil on the Northern Railway to Beauvais ; length 22 miles. 4. A preferen tial right of constructing a line front Rheims. by Soissons to Cot - 111124,m0 on the Northern Railway. The total au thorised capital (exclusive of the prospective lines, and of the line to be constructed by Government), accord ing to the estimates of the Government engineers, is 29,600,000 f., or 1,181,0001., making the ave rage cost about 13,5001. per mile for a single line, with land and works of art for a double line. This comprises interest at 4 per cent. on the amount paid upon the shares during the period of construction. The main lino from Rhei ns to Mezieres and the Belgian frontier, foirnieg part of the system of principal railways projected by the State in 1842, establishes a new North- Eastern trunk line intermediate betweenlt er the Northern and the Eastern (Strasburg) Railway.

The branch from Creil through t the valley of Therein to Beauvais, the chief town of the department of the Oise, will, it is asserted, command a large local traffic, being the only railway in the district between the Northern and Rouen Railway, and that it can be easily extended to Rouen. RAILWAY RILLS ON STANDING ORDERS. NORTH YORKSHIRE AND CLEVELAND.—The select committee of the House of Commons have decided that the standing orders may be dispensed with in the case of this company's bill, and that the parties may be per mitted to proceed with it. WEST SOMERSET MINERAL.--The committee have given a similar decision in the case of this company's bill. LEEDS, BRADFORD, AVD HALIFAX JIINCTION.—The committee in this case have decided that the parties be permitted to proceed, Provided notice be given to every shareholder before the 7th of February. Yesterday the examiners of the House of Commons declared tho standing orders complied with in the fol lowing cases : LONDON AND BLACKWALL.— For widening the line from Fenchurch-street to Rhodeswell, near the Bow Junction of the Eastern Counties, at an estimated cost of 160,000/. SOUTH WALIZS MINERAL—For power to lease the line. GREAT NORTHERN.—To authorize the company to erect and endow a church and schools at Doncaster, at a cost of 6,0001, A.dvices from different parts of Canada express strong fears that the unusual mildness of the season and the absence of snow will have an injurious effect upon the autumn-sown grain. At St. Catherine's business was very dull, and robberies quite frequent. " One of the heaviest produce houses in New Orleans failed on Monday, owing to the suspension of Page, Bacon, and others. The liabilities of those houses which failed on Saturday are estimated at 2,500,000 dollar,. Their assets, however, exceed that sum, and it is thought they will all resume business. Failures were apprehended in Cincinnati and Louis. ville, in consequence of those which have taken place in New Orleans. " Our telegraphic despatches mention the recent failure of three heavy banking houses at St. Louis, a similar establishment at New Orleans, and afirm engaged in the cotton trade at th• same place, likewise the sus pension of a prominent commission house at Lousville. " When it was announced in St. Louis that the doors of the banking-house of Page and Bacon were closed, there was a sudden upheaving in all the ramifications of finance and trade, and business men run to and fro with utter amazement pictured upon every countenance. " The barque Howling Wind, Captain Porter, sailed from Philadelphia on the 18th for Londonderry, with a full cargo of grain. The next day, having passed the Capes of the Delaware, it was discovered that the vessel leaked badly. Notwithstanding every exertion to keep the skip free by pumping and throwing overboard a por tion of the cargo, the leak gained so fast that Captain Porter deemed it advisable to make for the nearest port. On Saturday, about dark, she was fallen in with by the pilot-boat Antony B. Neilson, of this port. The ship being completely waterlogged and the pumps choked by grain, she was abandoned, all hands going on board the pilot-boat, which reached this city last night." COIIIIiERCIA.L. NEW YORK, Jan. 24. For some weeks past sterling bills at 60 days hare ranged as low as 71 to 8 ; within a few days the rates have advanced, and remittances of bankers' bills for to• morrow's steamer are made as 9 to 9.1. FOREIGN EXCHANGES. 1,013(1011, 1081 to 1091 ; Paris, 5171 to 5131; Amsterdam, 41 to 41i ; Ham burgh, 363 to 361 ; Bremen, 78 to 78h. The money market has essentially improved during the past week ; the banks having extended their dis count line, and the rates at the bill brokers having de clined from 12 to 15 to 8 to 10 per cent, on first-class paper. Loans on call 7 per cent. The western rivers continue very low, and thus the shipments of cotton and produce are much delayed, and the supply of bills on Europe from the south is more limited than usual.

PROGRESS OF PURIFYING TIIZ Since active measures have been put into operation daring the last few months in order to abate the smoke nuisance, not only has the air been cleared with asto nishing rapidity, which was hitherto considered almost impossible, but those measures to effect it have proved as eminently successful and satisfactory, and it is stated by the inhabitants of some of the worst -manufacturing districts of the metropolis that they now not only daily see the improved appearance of the atmosphere, but feel the beneficial effects of the charge upon their constitu tions ; and, in consequence of this success, a number of appliances are being suggested by various parties in order to meet the requirements of those furnaces which at present are exempt from the provisions of the Smoke Act, such as potteries, glass works, smiths' forges, &c., it being notorious that the most inveterate smokers now are those existing in the Lambeth pottery district. And moreover, as it has been stated by Mr. Wright, C.E., Government inspector of smoke nuisance, that upwards of 3,000,000 tons of coal are annually imported into London, and that only 1,000,000 tons of this quan tity is consumed for manufacturing purposes, and the smoke arising from which is conveyed into the air by 6,000 tall chimneys, ranging from 25 to 200 feet high, it is, therefore, obvious that fully two-thirds or 2,000,000 tons of coals are annually consumed by the 390,000 reeking dwelling houses of the metropolis, and that a single stack, consisting of ten or twelve house chimneys during the winter months, will give out quite as much smoke as those manufacturing chimneys ranging from 25 to 60 feet high, which class proportionately comprises by far the greatest number of 6,000 shafts who are obliged by the clauses of the Smoke Act to consume their own smoke, hence it is evid e nt th a t by f ar th e l argest amount of smoke created in the metropolis is that emitted from the immense number of dwelling-houses ; and in sight of this state of things a variety of plans are being further pro posed, not only to annihilate smoke arising from every drawing-room fire, but, in fact, that no particle of smoke be allowed to escape into the air, by which means also chimney-stacks and chimney -pots, with an infinite variety of ugly and dangerous cowls and deformed pipes, may be dispensed with, that are now distorting in every kind of formidable shape the appearance of our private dwellings, and threaten at no distant day in some disas trous gale of wind to fall down, and commit fatal depre dations amongst unsuspectinr , icT pedes4rians. These ob jects, therefe, once attain e d, houses in London will assume the olean and neat appearance of those in Eastern countries, and the British capital become comparatively as free from the pollution of smoke as a country village..

ABOLITION OP INTERMENTS IN CHURCH VAIIILTS.-011 Friday the first step was taken tawards the abolition of interments in the vaults of churches. With a view to obtain information upon the subject, Dr. Sutherland was instructed by the Home-office to inspect the vaults and catscambs of all the churches and chapels of St. Pancras. After having g o ne whichgonotlirtohneghcotmhenswhwoelereopfitihed the together burYiug like -Plae2 in some egg-boxes, Dr. Sutherland came to the conclusion that the system ought to be discontinued. GREAT SNOW -STORM.—Since the memorable winter of 1814 Dublin has not, in one night, been visited by such a snow-storm as that which, commencing at an early hour on Saturday morning, in an incredibly short time covered the ground to the uniform depth of half-a.foot. While writing, the snow in still descending in small but close heavy flakes, with every appearance of long con tinuance. The streets are well-nigh impassable for pe destrians, and as for quadrupeds and vehicles they era not to be seen. The wind is blowing a bitter blast from due east, and altogether it is doubtful whether the wea ther can be much more severe in the Crimea than .it is at the present moment in the Irish metropolis.
